Well-Behaved Women Seldom Make History

A

s the country turned its eyes to Philadelphia this week, the place where the Declaration of Independence was signed, the home of the Liberty Bell, the iconic symbol of American Independence, and the site of the Democratic National Convention history was made again when a woman was, for the first time, the official presidential nominee for a major political party.

Earlier this month I visited the home of social reformer Susan B. Anthony, now a national historic landmark in Rochester, New York, and the place where she was arrested in her living room in 1872 for daring, as a woman, to exercise the right to vote. A right, at the time, that was not afforded to women. For her crime, she was tried and convicted in a nationally publicized trial. In the end, she refused to pay the fine, which was eventually forgiven by the government.

As a leader in the women’s suffrage, women’s rights and abolitionist movements, Anthony and her fellow reformer Elizabeth Cady Stanton arranged for Congress to be presented with an amendment giving women the right to vote in 1878. Popularly known as the Anthony Amendment and introduced by California Senator Aaron Sargent, it eventually became the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1920.

It’s fitting that I will end this week near Seneca Falls, New York, considered the epicenter of the suffrage movement here in the United States. The Seneca Falls Convention, held almost 170 years ago, was the first women’s rights convention, and included discussions of the social, civil, and religious condition and the rights of women, including women’s right to vote. Many of the women, including organizer Lucretia Mott, urged the women to remove the concept from what they called the Declaration of Sentiments. However, my friend Kenneth Morris, reminded me that his great-great-great grandfather Frederick Douglass, the sole AfricanAmerican attendee who understood the importance of the franchise, argued eloquently and successfully to include the suffrage resolution in the platform.

When I last visited the Susan B. Anthony historic site I picked-up a placard that I placed prominently on my writing desk “Well-Behaved Women Seldom Make History.” Susan B. Anthony’s spirit and commitment to social equality reminds me that although we have nominated a woman to the country’s highest office, we still have work to do today for full equality – in pay equity, reproductive rights, political empowerment, and business leadership. We still need revolutionary action to finally reach gender parity and equality, and well-behaved women need not apply.

Memorial Damaged

Redlands, CA - Last week, thieves vandalized a World War II memorial at the Jennie Davis Park in Redlands. The statue was located near the eternal flame at the veteran’s memorial. The memorial, a bronze rendering of a mother and child holding a folded flag, was dedicated in honor of the widows and orphaned children of the families of those killed in action.

According to reports the statue was dismantled and parts of it removed. City officials believe thieves may have taken it to sell as scrap metal. Metal recycling centers have been asked to be on the lookout for the stolen sculpture pieces.

Diversity Grants on the Horizon Washington, D.C.

M

embers of the United States Senate and House of Representatives recently joined forces and introduced the Stronger Together School Diversity Act of 2016.

The legislation is designed to provide $120 million in grants to increase student diversity in schools across the country which, based on a study released by the UCLA Civil Rights Project in 2015, are more segregated today than they were thirty years ago.

The bill will provide grants for school districts to realign school boundaries or develop other plans to address widespread segregation that still exists in school districts all across the country.

The legislation would also provide school districts with broad flexibility relative to how the grant money is used. For example, it might be used to study segregation, evaluate current policies and develop evidence-based plans to address disparities; establish public school choice zones, revise school boundaries or expand busing services; create programs to attract students to different schools; and, recruit and train good teachers for all campuses.

With all of the historic efforts to end school segregation, including the 1954 U.S. Supreme

N E W S

Court ruling in Brown vs Board of Education and the 1964 Civil Rights Act, school desegregation in lieu of ‘separate but equal’ is yet to fulfill its promise. School districts blame it on so called de facto segregation that is the result of where people choose or can afford to live.

Recently, two issues converged that appear to have compelled federal legislators to act on this very important issue. Firstly, in light of the Black Lives Matter movement the issue of racial injustice has focused the nation’s attention and brought with it the increased urgency of now. Secondly, in April, the U.S. Government Accountability Office released a report that proved low income, segregated schools frequently receive fewer resources, offer fewer educational opportunities and administer more discipline; as opposed to schools with increased diversity that support improved academic outcomes and greater college attendance.

The report also proved a hard reality— between 2000 and 2014, schools across the country where almost every student was eligible for free or reduced-price lunch had increased by nearly 150 percent. In addition, at almost every one of those schools, the students were primarily Black or Hispanic.

Triple Homicide Suspect Pleads Not Guilty San Bernardino, CA - Trayvon Eshawn Brown, the 26-year-old suspect arrested for the triple murders of Samathy Mahan, Travon Lamar Williams, and his 9-year-old son Travon Williams on Friday July 8. The three were shot to death as they exited the Superior Liquor Store on Del Rosa Avenue in San Bernardino around 9:30 pm.

Brown pled not guilty when arraigned in San Bernardino Superior Court last week. According to the criminal complaint, he faces three counts of murder that include enhancements for the use of a firearm on each count.

It is believed Mahan was the intended target of the murders.

Detectives documented a previous encounter between Mahan and Brown that occurred on June 15 may have precipitated the July 8 homicides. On June 15, according detectives, Brown was shot during an altercation between the two.

The judge set Brown’s bail at three million dollars. Brown will return to court on Wednesday, August 3.

UCR Researchers Consider Drought Impact on Human Health Riverside

U

ntil Kurt Schwabe, professor of environmental economics and policy, UCR and his project team began their investigation no one had explored the possible impact California’s relentless drought might have on the health of the state’s residents.

Schwabe and his team have received a $284,680 grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Evidence for Action Program to explore this issue.

Although the team will consider health implications around the state it will focus much of its attention not only on the Central Valley in addition to the agricultural regions of Riverside and San Bernardino counties.

Studies of drought have previously focused on its impact on agriculture revenue, the survival rates of fish and urban water use and loss during dry periods but the impact on human beings has failed to be an area of focused

inquiry—until now.

What is known however is that drought and extreme temperatures can have a devastating impact on communities that rely on the agriculture industry, who are primarily immigrant and Hispanic. According to Schwabe, the stress, anxiety, reduced income and job losses experienced as a result of the

N E W S Eat Ugly Food and Avoid Food Waste Bentonville, AK-After a year of negotiations, food waste activist Jordan Figueiredo and his supporters convinced Walmart to join selected Whole Food Stores to begin selling imperfect produce at a discount. Currently, Whole Foods sells imperfect produce in eleven stores across California. Walmart will initially begin its sale of ugly food in Florida and Texas.

The international movement to sell ugly food to minimize food waste began in France. The effort attained immediate success and garnered international attention.

Food waste is not only a problem in France and America, but around the world. In America the standard for the appearance of fruits and vegetables are very strict so that produce sold in grocery stores have a standard appearance. Owed to these standards, grocery stores in the United States will not accept produce from farmers unless it aligns with those standards of appearance. As a result, a lot of good produce rots in fields and warehouses—almost half of all food in America is sent to landfills.

Food waste also impacts the environment. The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization determined for example, if the global emissions associated with food waste were a country, it would be the third largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world.

As the food waste initiative expands, consumers are encouraged to support the effort to eliminate food waste and reduce emissions—buy ugly food.

drought can have health implications. For this reason, researchers will evaluate factors like emotional distress, binge drinking, and infant birth weight and mortality, among other health measures.

The goal, according to Schwabe is to work to include health as a factor in future drought discussions among policy and lawmakers in California. No one would argue that human health consideration should be a major consideration along with other impacts as plans for the distribution of water resources and other associated investments are evaluated.

Researchers will evaluate health data from the California Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development in their analysis.

The analysis with cover a twenty-year period between 1990 and 2010. This timeframe was selected in order to include periods of droughts as well as extremely wet years of El Nino.

The Power of Gratitude and Honesty

I

t’s okay to feel scared and understandable to feel anxious and even angry. These are tough times for Americans and people in every corner of the world. The latest attacks in France, the outrageous and needless attacks against and caused by U.S. law enforcement, the continuing bloodshed in the Middle East, and the palpable acrimony among our national leaders, has shaken us to the core.

Even the hardiest of us are feeling the bloodshed, tribulation, negativity and unpredictability of the time.

Discover the power of honesty, vulnerability and gratitude. Recently a patient said to me, “These are tough times for Black Americans, but I feel energized by a new kind of power.”

He said, “That power comes with surrendering to honesty and gratitude for the good and the bad. What we’re really feeling will always set us free.’

Gratitude is a potent tool for snapping yourself out of fear, anger and self-pity. In almost any situation, you can find something—even if it’s the tiniest thing—to be grateful for.

In addition to focusing on the good things that you have, you can also feel grateful for the bad by thinking about what you’re getting from the experience and how you can make things better for you and others.

However, you choose to deal with the day to d a y barrage of negative stimuli, perhaps you can identify some good things it is currently bringing you.

The sooner we become honest with ourselves, the sooner we can be honest with others.

You don’t need a lethal weapon to experience the power of gratitude and honesty. Write it. Speak it.

Feel it. Release it.

Then you will know where to go, when to go.

What you are to do next will emerge, naturally, quietly, and clearly.

In the moment, it’s empowering to realize that you can handle a challenge. How can you turn an ordeal into a positive, or at least how can you learn a lesson from a situation you didn’t create or can’t control. Prioritize taking care of your health—physical, mental, and spiritual—above all else.

Drive across the bridge, you don’t have to understand it all right now.

Information and understanding will come later. You’ll get to the other side. For now, turn off the television.

Experience the good and the bad times.

Practice honesty and gratitude for the good and the bad.. Know that this time of unprecedented change and uncertainty is sacred, too.

Assembly Member Cheryl Brown Taking A Part of U.S. History

I

am so proud of my wife Assembly Member Cheryl Brown, a Hillary Clinton delegate from California, and participant in this historic moment in American politics.

Cheryl’s mother Hardy L. Brown Melba Glanton Minter Photo by benoitmalphettes.com and her father in law Floyd Brown would be so proud of her because they were both active democrats when they were alive. They were on the cutting edge of getting our people the right to vote and facing overt racial and gender discrimination of every kind.

They never became bitter or hateful at those who opposed them, they just kept on helping to elect people who believed in inclusion, social justice for everyone and equality of all people.

Cheryl’s mother started her political activity in Los Angeles with Congresswoman Maxine Waters and Mayor Tom Bradley before either of them was ever elected to office. Floyd Brown, on the other hand, was in Jones County, North Carolina during the 1940’s through the 80’s and got Cheryl involved with community issues every time we went home on vacation.

They always told her that one day a woman would be elected president and a Black would

occupy the office as well. They did not know when or how soon and that Cheryl would be a delegate to the convention where it would happen.

This is what I love about the United States of America’s political process with all of its ups and downs. One has to stay engaged with the community and keep the faith that people of goodwill will do the right thing. I understand Saint Paul when he said that the race is not won by the swift but by the one who endures until the end. However, I like the way it is expressed in Ecclesiastes 9:11: Again I saw that under the sun the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the intelligent, nor favor to those with knowledge, but time and chance happen to them all.

But “time and chance” happens to them all. It happened to Barack Obama and is now happening to Hillary Clinton. This is a lesson for all of us to learn about life. You must hang in there even when it appears everything is against you.

Rudyard Kipling put it this way in his poem If: IF you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too;

Democratic National Convention—An Opening Day of Protest and Promise Philadelphia

O

pening day of the Democratic National Convention was tumultuous and leaders of the Democratic Party were noticeably anxious for a better part of the day.

Early in the day, protesters owned the streets; the Democratic National Committee (DNC) chairperson, Debbie Wasserman Schultz was booed by her own state delegation and forced into resignation in the wake of the DNC email scandal; Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, selected to gavel the session to order in lieu of Wasserman Schultz initially left the podium without executing the traditional pounding of the gavel; and, Bernie Sanders’ delegates wreaked havoc on the convention floor while outside oppressive heat and a thunderous downpour seemed to reflect the overall mood inside the Wells Fargo Center.

Many Sanders’ supporters, who represented approximately 45 percent of the delegates in attendance would not be cajoled or swayed to get on board the Hillary Clinton train despite repeated attempts by Sanders and others to persuade them to do so—many believe it is more the responsibility of Clinton to win them over.

Interim DNC Chairwoman Donna Brazile offered an official apology on behalf of the committee for the email fiasco. "On behalf of everyone at the DNC, we want to offer a deep and sincere apology to Senator Sanders, his supporters and the entire Democratic Party for the inexcusable remarks made over email.

These comments do not reflect the values of the DNC or our steadfast commitment to neutrality during the nominating process."

As the day slid into evening and prime time speakers one after another took the stage,

although many Sanders supporters did not shift their position or temper disappointment, the mood in the center was slowly elevated and the day ended on a high note.

From NAACP CEO Ben Jealous to Senators Cory Booker and Elizabeth Warren to Senator Sanders himself the speakers lifted the name and promise of Hillary Clinton and acknowledged the accomplishments of the Sanders revolution that resulted in the most progressive DNC platform in history and successfully changed the rules to severely limit the impact of Super-delegates in future elections—all major victories owed to Sanders and his supporters.

However, the evening was clearly owned by First Lady Michelle Obama who delivered a speech wildly heralded as one for the ages. View it online at youtube.com/ watch?v=4ZNWYqDU948.

2016politicalnews Kamala Harris Endorsed by Obama and Biden

Washington, D.C. - President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden weighed in on California politics with strong endorsements of Attorney General Kamala Harris to replace the state’s retiring Senator, Barbara Boxer.

The president’s endorsement of Harris was not a rebuke of her challenger, longtime California Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez; but instead, a confirmation of his friendship with Harris.

The race between Harris and Sanchez is the only one in the nation where two Democrats are battling each other for a seat in the nation’s upper chamber. California rules dictate that the top two vote-getters in the state’ primary election, regardless of party, compete against each other in the general election.

In a written endorsement the President wrote, "Kamala is a lifelong courtroom prosecutor with only one client: the people of the State of California. That's the approach she'll take to the United States Senate."

Sanchez, who has been a staunch supporter of the president, frankly expressed her disappointment. In a written statement and she did not mince words. “I am disappointed that President Obama chose to endorse in an historic Senate race between two Democrats. I would think the Leader of the Democratic Party would be focused on defeating Donald Trump and supporting Democratic Senate candidates against Republicans.”

Also in a written statement, Biden discussed how his relation to Harris was built through his late son and former Attorney General of Delaware, Beau Biden. “I saw them take on big banks, lift up the voices of working people, and protect women and children from abuse and violence.

Beau always supported her, and I’m proud to support her candidacy for the United States Senate,” he said.

Harris also has the support of other high profile politicians and political groups including senators Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker as well as the California Democratic Party and Emily’s List. In addition, she has consistently led in the polls, outraised and has more money on hand than Sanchez.

FPPC Targets ‘Shadow Lobbyists’ Sacramento

C

alifornia’s Fair Political Practices Commission has unanimously approved new guidelines aimed at shining a bright light on so called ‘Shadow Lobbyists’.

‘Shadow Lobbyists’ are contract lobbyists who interact directly with elected officials but do not register as lobbyists because they claim to be paid for other services other than lobbying.

The claimed services which exempt them from having to register as lobbyists include such activities as research, public relations, grassroots organizing, etc.

The newly approved Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) rules will identify a

person as a lobbyist any time he or she is paid a minimum of $2,000 a month to communicate with elected officials—unless, they can prove otherwise. Such proof can be provided in the form of testimony and/or written statements.

The commission also approved a contribution laundering fine in the amount of $100,000. The commission felt the changes were warranted in light of the ever more sophisticated strategies, tactics and techniques of ‘shadow lobbyists’ who continuously strive to evade or obstruct the law.

In 2013, the FPPC levied its first fine for ‘shadow lobbying’ against a political consulting firm and three of its principles for failing to register and file lobbyist reports.

10 VOICE | JULY 28, 2016 | theievoice.com

Those who oppose the new rule like the California Political Attorneys Association, have claimed it goes too far. In a letter to the commission the organization claimed, “The FPPC is effectively proposing a reverse record keeping requirement mandating that individuals who do not fall under the provisions of the act maintain records to prove they do not meet the registration/reporting thresholds under the act.”

The commission, however, held the new rule merely affects the burden of production and as a result, does not violate any standards or protocol as defined in existing regulations.

California Kids in Crisis W

New Survey of High School Students Reveals Frightening Trend S. E. Williams Contributor

hen the California Department of Health Care Services released results of its latest Children’s Health Survey last week, it once again elevated a potential crisis that impacts all demographics in the state.

According to the report, feelings of incapacitating, chronic sadness or hopelessness were reported by 26 percent of 7th graders, 32 percent of 9th graders, and 34 percent of 11th graders. In addition, almost onefifth of the high school students surveyed admitted they had at some point, contemplated suicide. theievoice.com | JULY 28, 2016 | VOICE

“

We all know that children can only learn to their full potential when they feel safe and secure at school and in their classroom.

- Tom Torlakson

Several schools in both Riverside and San Bernardino Counties participated in the statewide survey. They included Desert Sands Unified and La Quinta High School in Riverside County; and, Chaffey Joint Union High, Los Osos High, San Bernardino City Unified, San Bernardino High, Victor Valley Union High and Silverado High Schools in San Bernardino.

Among participating girls, these concerns were further exacerbated. According to the report, females experienced a significantly higher prevalence of chronic sadness than males. Seventh grade girls were 1.8 times more likely to report it (32 percent vs. 19 percent); ninth grade girls were twice as likely to experience such feelings (42 percent vs. 21 percent); and, eleventh grade females were 1.6 times as likely (42 percent vs. 26 percent).

Although numbers were provided by ethnicity for total survey participants, a breakdown by ethnicity was not provided for this section of the published report, nor did the report separate the information by geographic area or participating schools.

The survey asked the children a number of questions that included whether they felt so sad or hopeless almost every day for two weeks or more; and, whether those feelings stopped them from doing their usual activities— obvious symptoms of depression.

The report underscored the need for educators, prevention specialists, youth

service providers, and health agencies to collaboratively focus more attention on better meeting the needs of California’s youth and helping them thrive in school, career, and life.

The California state legislature is currently considering a bill that would make it mandatory for school districts across the state to adopt policies aimed at preventing student suicide.

Community Connect offers a confidential 24/7 Suicide, Crisis Intervention hotline service for residents of the inland region for support dial (951) 686-4357.

When commenting on the value of the latest California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS), Tom Torlakson, State Superintendent of Public Instruction wrote, “The California Healthy Kids Survey, provide[s] a venue for students to express how they really feel about their school experience and their classroom environment.” He continued, “These surveys provide teachers and administrators the critical data needed to create positive learning environments in our schools.”

CHKS has been conducted every two years since 1985 under the stewardship of the California Department of Health Care Services, with support from the California Department of Education, Coordinated School Health and Safety Office. Survey responses are both anonymous and confidential.

The survey questionnaires are completed by seventh, ninth and eleventh graders in a Graph by Rawhide.org

number of public schools around the state.

The current report contained responses from approximately 36,500 students surveyed from fall 2013 through spring 2015.

In addition to findings related to depression and feelings related to potential suicide that sadly, showed little change at disturbingly high levels, the report highlighted a number of other critical concerns. The survey found only four-in-ten high school students felt highly connected to their schools, and just over half of 7th graders, about the same as found in 2011-2013.

The percentages are even lower for being highly motivated academically—only 38 percent of those in the 7th grade and 25 percent of eleventh graders reported such feelings.

Sadly, only 16 to 21 percent of secondary students said they felt very safe at school while only about six in ten reported feeling safe or very safe—this represented little changed from two years ago.

The number of students who reported being harassed or bullied at school remained stable for seventh graders at 40 percent; but, increased by about three percentage points for ninth and eleventh grade students to 38 percent and 31 percent respectively.

Other findings included the reality that one-third of 11th graders reported they had tried an e-cigarette; students were three times as likely to try an e-cigar than smoke a

cigarette in 7th grade and, one-and-a- half to two times more likely to do so in high school.

Finally, despite improvements in substance use, the report highlighted another concerning reality—about twenty percent of 11th graders reported being involved in drinking and driving while either very drunk or high on drugs at least seven or more times; and, admitted to being either current drug users, current binge drinkers and/or reported being drunk or high on school property at least once.

The report conceded that many of the survey variables are inter-related. For example, substance use and poor mental health are significant barriers to learning, while feelings of being connect to one’s school is related to better health and academic outcomes. This illustrates the importance of breaking down barriers that have separated education, prevention, and health programs in the past and elevates the need for more cross-agency collaboration.

In its assessment of findings, the report proposed one key factor that may account for some of the more negative survey results. It determined only 26 to 33 percent of secondary students experienced in their schools, the kind of high level support in three fundamental areas that have been clearly linked to resilience and positive academic, social, emotional, and physical health outcomes. Those factors include caring adult relationships, high expectations, and meaningful participation. continued on page 14

The report focused on the need for all youth-serving agencies to work together to better provide these developmental supports young people need to succeed. This is considered especially critical for youth in lowincome communities who historically lack other support and resources as well.

The report also identified some positive indicators. There was a marked decrease among the percent of eleventh graders involved in heavy drinking and/or drug use, including such use on school property. The report also revealed the availability of alcohol and marijuana had declined while the perceived harm of these substances increased. There was also a decline in all grades in the number of students who reported seeing someone carrying a weapon on school property.

Finally, the percent of students who reported participation in a physical fight decreased as did those physically victimized.

The 2013-2015 sample included slightly

more Hispanic/Latino respondents and notably more Whites than two years ago. It is also important to note participation by school districts, schools, and students was voluntary, and parental consent was required.

CHKS is the largest statewide survey of resiliency, protective factors, and risk behaviors in the nation. Over the years, it has led to a better understanding of the relationship between students’ health behaviors and academic performance. It is frequently cited by state policymakers and the media as a critical component of school improvement efforts that can help guide the development of more effective health, prevention, and youth development programs. The report can also be customized to meet local needs, interests, and standards. Most importantly, it provides a vehicle to confidentially obtain data on student knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions. To view the report in its entirety, visit http://chks.wested.org/.

If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within four months from the date of first issuance of letters as provided in Probate Code section 9100.

The time for filing claims will not expire before four months from the hearing date noticed above. You may examine the file kept by the court.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. 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 this property.

NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (866)-9608299 or visit this Internet Web site http:// www.altisource.com/MortgageServices/ DefaultManagement/TrusteeServices. aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2015-04487-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to

attend the scheduled sale.

First Hispanic Chancellor Will Direct California’s Community College District Riverside

T

Eloy Ortiz Oakley

his December, Eloy Ortiz Oakley will take the helm as Chancellor of the California Community College District. As Chancellor, Oakley will assume responsibility for the oversight of the 113 colleges that enroll 2.1 million part-time and full-time students.

In early March, Chancellor Brice Harris announced his plans to step down from his leadership position and the search for a replacement began.

On July 18, the Community Colleges Board of Directors announced Oakley, current president of Long Beach Community College, as Harris’ replacement.

Oakley received the appointment subsequent to an exhaustive national search. A California native, Oakley, who attended Golden West College in Huntington Beach, was the first in

Jail Calls and Kick Backs

Riverside

A

class action lawsuit has been filed against Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange and Riverside Counties over an alleged kick-back scheme involving telephone calls from jails.

The suit not only brings a challenge to the high cost of jail calls, it claims the involved counties have allegedly turned a blind eye on the high prices charged by the phone companies for jail calls because of the kick-backs they receive from them.

Because counties control the telephone contracts for the jails they have the ability to negotiate better rates. Instead, rates have remained high adding revenue to county coffers and passing the high costs along to the family member and friends of the incarcerated who pay the exorbitant fees. Over time, counties earn millions of dollars from these fees. Although the fees vary, most consider the rates unreasonable.

As America’s prison industrial complex drew

more and more attention in light of the nation’s increased focus on criminal justice reform, the state of California set a standard for its counties when it joined several other states and lowered the costs of calls in their state prisons. They did so by making it illegal for their prisons to accept payments from phone companies. In addition, county jails across the nation have been ordered by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to cap rates and reduce fees of jail calls in June.

The FCC order has now capped jailhouse calls at 16 cents per minute; limited deposit fees to three dollars for online service and six dollars for phone service. All other fees are now forbidden.

In regards to the class action lawsuit, if successful, it will refund millions of dollars to families gouged by the phone companies with the tacit approval of county officials.

his family to attend college. He told reporters subsequent to the announcement of his appointment, “It’s amazing to think that one generation ago, there wasn’t much thought about going to college” in my family, and now, there is nothing but the thought of going to college.” He concluded, “That is the magic of our community colleges.”

Oakley will serve as the state’s first Hispanic chancellor over a system where almost half of its students are Latino. He also told reporters about the need to raise completion rates for African Americans and Latinos—students, he emphasized, who have historically been left behind in relation to higher education. These are the people who are the backbone of our workforce he explained. “We must lead the entire state higher education system in addressing their needs and lifting them all,” he stressed.

In 2014, Oakley was appointed by Governor Jerry Brown to a seat on the UC Board of Regents.

He hopes to retain that position until 2024 serving, of course, at the Governor’s discretion.

Serving in both capacities will afford Oakley an opportunity to enhance communications between the two systems.

CLIMATE CHANGE: What Can We Do? Laura L. Klure Contributor t’s been HOT! In some parts of the United States, the weather during the past four months has been the warmest in recorded history. According to NASA and other reliable reports, globally 2015 was the world’s hottest year on record. Those facts may have convinced some doubters that “climate change” is real, and hopefully they have begun to understand that humans do have a role in influencing the temperature on our planet. We change the environment, we consume things, and we add heat and pollutants to the sky. So, now it’s important to ask, “What can we do to reduce our impact on the climate?”

People who have been elected to office or who serve on governmental committees will have many important decisions to make about things that can impact climate and the environment. Wealthy people should be donating significant amounts to organizations that do positive environmental things and to groups that accurately inform our citizens. Some people can spend enough money to buy cars that use less gasoline, to install double windows, to buy energy efficient appliances, and to take other expensive actions. But what about ordinary folks, people who do not have huge incomes? What can we do? The quick answer to that one is, “We can CONSERVE!” It is beneficial to conserve, to reduce our use of water, electricity, gasoline, natural gas, and other things that can damage the atmosphere, change the environment, or influence our local climate.

Let’s look at these problems one by one, and then consider actions that do not cost a great amount – and that instead can actually save us money.

Water is often a big issue in Southern California, because many parts of the region do not have enough readily available water for everyone to use excessively, such as growing huge lawns. Impacts of water use on the climate can include the energy used for drilling and transporting water, and the movement from one region to another changes the evaporation rates and the native vegetation growth. Our excess water use costs us money and also involves governmental costs, which could be used in other ways.

CONSERVE WATER -- Shower quickly and only when needed, not necessarily every

I

single day. Flush toilets only when needed. Don’t waste water in your yard, or running down your driveway. Follow any local water limits, and plant native species if possible. If your washing machine does not adjust for load size, only wash full loads.

Electricity is a big factor, starting with the methods of generation. All methods of generating electricity have environmental impacts, even including solar and wind, which are often touted as being improvements. Big wind fans and solar panels are made with special materials that have to come from somewhere, such as the mining of metals, manufacturing materials, etc.. Big arrays of solar panels or large groups of wind generators can kill native things in the spaces where they’re placed. Solar and wind may appear cleaner than using oil or gas to generate power, and they have different impacts compared to dams, but they still have impacts. After generation, our uses of electricity can have many impacts also, such as the fact that using light bulbs or some machines can raise the temperature near them.

CONSERVE ELECTRICITY – Turn off lights if you’re not going to be in that room for 10 minutes or more. Turn off the TV, if nobody’s watching it.

Pay attention to when it’s good to open or close windows, to limit your use of heating-cooling systems or fans. Set climate systems at moderately comfortable temperatures to minimize their use.

Gasoline is made from oil, which is a limited natural resource. We cannot continue to use oil products at high levels forever, without eventually running out. Various methods of burning oil and gasoline add pollutants to the environment, and the burning releases heat.

CONSERVE GASOLINE – Plan where you’re going for shopping and on other expeditions, to minimize the amount of unnecessary driving around town. If you have a long drive to work, try to carpool with a group of co-workers. Consider walking or riding a bicycle, if you’re going somewhere nearby and if your health allows it.

Use public transportation if it is readily available.

Natural gas, like oil, is a limited natural resource which should be conserved. It requires energy to remove natural gas from the ground, and sometimes fires occur. Many uses of natural gas can add CO2 to the air. Along with electricity, natural gas is often used in our heating and

cooking systems, and we need to carefully manage those systems.

CONSERVE NATURAL GAS – As noted before, set moderate temperatures in your buildings. Don’t heat foods or drinks unless needed. Don’t waste hot water.

We’ve mentioned some of the major conservation issues, but thoughtful people can readily come up with many more. For example, purchasing locally grown foods and products made in the United States can reduce the transportation impact of imported items (such as gasoline and smoke involved in crossing an ocean). It’s also wise to avoid wasting any food, since energy and natural resources are used in producing all foods.

Recycling reduces the energy needed to produce new materials, and reduces environmental impacts. New paper production, for example, requires growing plants or cutting down trees for fibers, and then energy and other chemicals are used in factories to make the papers. Recycling items such as aluminum foil reduces mining needs, and reduces the atmospheric impacts from mining.

So, if environmentally conscious people are already paying attention to all the impacts mentioned above, what more can we be doing? We can write to elected representatives, encouraging them to act sensibly about anything that impacts the environment and our climate. We can vote for candidates who understand that it is crucial to make changes soon, to avoid a climate disaster.

We can make small or appropriately sized donations to good causes – small donations by many people can add up!

Educate yourself further about climate change by reading articles and watching programs about the environment. Many books cover such topics, including the following: “An Inconvenient Truth,”

by Al Gore; “Plan B 4.0,” by Lester R. Brown; and “This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs the Climate,” by Naomi Klein. Those three books range in order from the shortest and easiest to read

by Gore (with many illustrations), to the longest and most difficult by Klein. Those references and other sources assisted in the development of this article.

Here’s hoping we can do enough!

Lawsuit Over School Developer Fees Continues

Sacramento

T

his week the lawsuit over the school districts’ authority to raise developer fees headed to the Superior Court of Sacramento.

The California Building Industry Association (BIA) initiated the suit when the California State Allocation Board (CSAB) decided to trigger Level 3 developer fees in May. The decision was made when the Board determined state facility matching funds were exhausted.

The BIA has based its lawsuit on the premise there is $150 million in untapped bond money available that could be transferred into accounts for classroom construction and remodeling projects; however, CSAB officials insist that

money is restricted and can only be used for seismic-related school improvements.

This is the first time Level 3 fees have been triggered in the state and as a result, the efficacy of the Board’s action has never been tested. The CSAB action lead the BIA to argue the triggering of Level 3 fees has the potential to double expenses on builders virtually overnight.

The CSAB’s three tiered fee structure, established in 1986, allowed school districts to charge developers for the impact of growth within specific areas as required. For decades previous to that time, the cost of new school construction and improvements was financed through bonds with shared accountability between the state and

local communities. The fee structure established in 1986 added the construction industry to that accountability equation.

A nine-billion-dollar school bond sponsored by the BIA has qualified for the November ballot. If the measure is successful, the CSAB is expected to rescind its Level 3 mandate; if not, it is certain the battle over the fees will continue in the courts. The greatest impact will fall on communities around the state experiencing the most significant population growth.

The lawsuit appears to be a tactic by the BIA to delay any construction activity thus deferring the impact of higher costs hedging its bet the bond measure will be approved by voters.

Bridges that Carried Us Over

A Special Exhibit at the 38th Annual Association of African American Museums Rialto

R

etired State Assembly member Wilmer Amina Carter is proud to announce that the Wilmer Amina Carter Foundation, a Creative Business, Inc. service program, presents “The Bridges that Carried Us Over”.

The exhibit, an archive of the African American presence and contributions to the Inland Empire, will feature a 20-minute documentary titled “Places and Spaces” featuring historical African Americans from the Inland Empire at the 38th Annual Association of African American Museums Convention held in Riverside, California.

The documentary exhibit will be shown continuously throughout the Exhibitor Hall/ Vendor Conference hours beginning Thursday, August 4th through Friday, August 5th from 8 to 5 p.m. daily. The exhibit is located inside the Riverside Convention Center, 3637 5th Street, Riverside.

“Place and Spaces” features a fresh perspective, a distinct rethinking and understanding of the importance of knowing the locations within the Inland Empire which honor and acknowledge the legacy of African Americans. Under a series of headlines from original pioneers to new pioneers in various

subtitles from religious institutions to educators to social organizations, streets and buildings are highlighted and featured.

Carter states, “Ratibu and I named this project from a quote taken from Fannie Lou Hamer. She said that, ‘There are two things we all should care about—to never forget where we came from and always praise the bridges that carried us over.’ There are many African Americans in the Inland Empire who have been the bridges that have carried our people over.” Ratibu Jacocks was a highly acclaimed leader in the Inland Empire community of African American descent who transitioned last December.

The body of work for “Places and Spaces” is a collaborative effort with the students and faculty of California State University, San Bernardino.

The Bridges that Carried Us Over project rescues and reconstructs the African American presence, contributions and history in the Inland Empire because not enough historical information is accessible to the public about the significance of this cultural group. The overall archive project includes oral histories, photographs, diaries and journals, artifacts, letters and correspondent, personal narratives and organizational records of Inland Empire African Americans.
