ince the outbreak of the novel coronavirus in the U.S., I like so many others, have lived with a COVID-19 target on my back—I am a seventyyear-old African American with a heart condition who is also obese. In other words, I virtually check all the boxes of “high risk.”.

This leaves me filled with gratitude and overwhelming appreciation for everyone who has delivered items to my home while I have remained sheltered in place to enhance my odds of surviving this deadly pandemic. In appreciation of their efforts, I often feel I cannot tip enough, say thank you enough, whenever a delivery person knocks.

Delivery people are all races, young and old and I can often see a fear-tinged uncertainty in their eyes as they back away to a social distance when I answer the door. What must they be thinking about me, I ask myself? ‘Is this person healthy, they must wonder. Am I at a safe enough distance?’ These are certainly things I would wonder were I in their shoes.

Many in my own family are among the legion of those deemed essential employees—working in health care, warehouses, long-haul truckers, cashiers, etc. I pray every day they are following all the rules, doing everything they can to protect

themselves and hope those they interact with, are doing the same.

It was commendable, when many companies who historically underpay their employees announced they were providing hazard pay to essential workers.

These businesses were acknowledged for this by many media outlets, to the point of almost being celebrated more than the minimum-wage workers themselves who are putting their lives on the line every day. I was sorely disappointed, though not at all surprised to learn the businesses are now changing their tune.

Without fanfare and barely a notice these same companies are now quietly cancelling the hazard pay even as the dangers still exist. In expressing frustration about the sudden change in how frontline employees are being fiscally devalued even as they continue to literally put their lives on the line, secretary-treasurer of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters’ Local 455, rhetorically asked Fortune Magazine, “How do you go from continued on page 15

Riverside Health Officials Seek Local Businesses Participation in “Great Plates Delivered” Program for Seniors Saida Maalin Contributor

T

o help at-risk seniors who are in need of food during this global pandemic, Riverside County health officials are asking businesses in the Hemet, San Jacinto, Banning, Beaumont and Perris areas and surrounding communities to provide meals.

Governor Gavin Newsom announced the plan as “Great Plates Delivered: Home Meals for Seniors” on April 24th.

The program intends to help senior citizens who are at a higher risk of contracting the novel Coronavirus, especially those with underlying conditions that could worsen once infected.

To avoid the risk of exposure, businesses are asked to provide three meals per day, seven days a week including delivery for seniors 65 and older.

“I am particularly proud that the Great Plates Delivered program was piloted in the Fourth District, with Norma’s Italian Kitchen in Rancho Mirage being the first restaurant in Riverside County to get signed up and deliver their amazing dishes to senior citizens,” said Riverside County Board Chair and Fourth District Supervisor V. Manuel Perez.

The program will cost about $66 for three daily meals. Any additional fees such as labor and equipment may be eligible for reimbursement and must be related to the services being provided and cannot surpass 5 percent over the initial cost.

This partnership would mean businesses would have more business since the pandemic has required many to shut down or switch to pick-up only.

“This program is a win-win for everyone involved,” said Jewel Lee, director of Riverside County Office on Aging. Long-term care facilities in the county have seen a total of 788 confirmed patient and staff cases of COVID-19, 522 confirmed patient cases and 266 confirmed staff.

Great Plates Delivered is set to run until June 10. If stay-at-home orders and restrictions are

not lifted, an extension will be requested for the program to continue until the pandemic is under control.

Restaurants should follow food safety requirements for meal preparations and delivery. Local administrators will determine reimbursement for meal deliveries.

Interested restaurants should visit https:// www.rcaging.org/COVID-19/Great-PlatesDelivered-Program and submit an eligibility

screening form with contact information.

According to the county website qualified businesses will receive delivery information at a later time from local administrators.

Seniors interested in participating in the program when it launches and/or businesses who would like to provide meals can learn more at covid19.ca.gov/img/wp/great-platesdelivered-program-guidance.pdf.

San Bernardino, Riverside Counties Lift Face Mask Requirements Urging Safety and Respect

W

earing facial coverings in public remains strongly recommended in San Bernardino and Riverside Counties, but is no longer required, officials announced this month.

According to Curt Hagman, chairman of the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors, businesses may still require their workers and customers to wear masks to avoid the spread of COVID-19.

Officials say lifting the health orders, which were less restrictive than the state’s, will let local businesses reopen more quickly.

Social distancing requirements inside essential businesses, a ban on gatherings, and short-term rentals will no longer be regulated under a local order. However, residents have to continue observing those rules under the state’s stay-at-home order.

The orders put another chink in the armor o f confusion over whether to wear a face covering. It's the debate heard 'round the world: Should you or shouldn't you wear a face mask during the coronavirus pandemic?

Safety and respect! While people prioritize public health, they can still

be respectful. First, masks are not the cure. With a virus there is no silver (or copper) bullet. A lifetime of research on antivirals for other deadly diseases tells us that finding a true cure is unlikely before a vaccine is approved.

So, in that approximately 18-month interval before the vaccine, our best defense hinges on our ability to make behavioral changes together, as a society.

If we do not wish to take up more invasive measures, such as surveillance and centralized quarantine, then we must become far more stringent in our efforts to change the behaviors we can individually control.

We are not there yet. We see forecasted deaths decline and immediately assume the war is over and the current social measures unnecessary.

Rather, the projections with fewer deaths are the result of us starting to learn social distancing. If we consider masks as a substitute for the more fundamental changes we need to make, the masks

Juvenile Probationers Test Positive for COVID-19

he Riverside County Probation Department announced four probationers from an out of state facility tested positive for COVID-19.

County officials stated the youth were just transferred from Michigan to Crogan Youth Treatment and Education Center (AMC-YTEC) in Riverside.

Eight probationers were tested, and out of the eight, four tested positive while the other four’s results were negative.

The four who tested positive have been placed in quarantine to protect the other juveniles currently in the facility. Although the teens are due to appear in court, it is unknown whether their court appearance will be rescheduled.

The facility holds about 145 juveniles and is taking precautionary measures as recommended by the Center of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Juvenile facilities must follow guidelines to prevent the transmission of the virus to both juvenile inmates and staff.

As the youth remain in quarantine they will be closely monitored by on sight medical experts. The Riverside County Probation Department will work with Riverside University Health System Public Health (RUHSPH) to monitor those infected.

The detention center is also required to manage confirmed or suspected cases inside the facility by taking measures such as medical isolation, quarantining those who came in close contact, restricting unnecessary movement or free time, maintaining social distancing and disinfecting main areas to prevent contamination.

Officers and staff are encouraged to stay home if they have ongoing flu-like symptoms. In order to reduce the number of infections everyone must follow safety protocols.

Visitation to these facilities may be suspended however families can see if video visitation is an option.

COVID-19 guidance can be located on the cdc.gov website for correctional and juvenile facilities.

Win for Reparations: California Assembly Committee Votes Yes on Bill

n May 11, the California Assembly Judiciary Committee voted yes on a bill that would mandate the state to set up an 8-member commission to examine how California engaged in — and benefited from — the enslavement of Black men, women and children.

If the bill, AB 3121, passes, it would charge the commission with coming up with proposals for redressing the “negative effects of slavery,” which could include direct payments to Black Californians.

“California was nominally a 'free state,' but in practice we allowed slavery within our borders even after statehood, while runaway slaves were often denied sanctuary by the courts,” said Assemblymember Shirley Weber (D-San Diego), author of AB 3121 and chair of the California Legislative Black Caucus (CLBC).

At the committee hearing for the bill, Weber said the legislation is the number one priority of the CLBC. “After emancipation, California and local municipalities allowed or even actively pursued discriminatory practices akin to those found in the South to deny former slaves and their descendants access to housing,

quality education, employment, fair wages, voting rights and the practice of professions,” Weber added in an impassioned statement to her colleagues.

AB 3121, titled the “Task Force to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans,” passed along party lines.

The three Republicans on the Judiciary Committee voted no on the bill. They are Vice Chair James Gallagher (R-Yuba City); Kevin Kiley (R-Rocklin); and Jay Obernolte (R-Big Bear Lake).

The Democrats on the committee, who all voted yay, are: Chair Mark Stone (D – Scotts Valley); Ed Chau (D-Arcadia); David Chiu (D-San Francisco); Lorena Gonzalez (D-San Diego); Chris Holden (D-Pasadena); Ash Kalra (D-San Jose); Brian Maienschein (D-San Diego); and Eloise Reyes (D-Grand Terrace).

The bill now moves to the Assembly Committee on Appropriations for consideration. The next vote is expected within weeks.

Failing to Meet State Criteria, Riverside County Seeks Waiver for Rapid Phase 2 Re-Opening S.E. Williams Contributor he Riverside County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to lift orders for social distancing and the need for face masks in public last week.

The decision was controversial and many cities within the county chose to continue with their citywide social distancing and face mask orders in place.

This week, the Board unanimously approved its Readiness and Reopening Framework strategy as it seeks to gain approval from California Governor Gavin Newsom to move more aggressively to Phase 2 of the state’s reopening strategy.

“We will work with every county, with every city in a practical and responsible way. But, here’s the caveat.

This is a health-driven conversation. It is not because we don’t want to [reopen]. It’s not because we would not like to. It’s not because we want to be particularly oppressive in terms of people’s desire and need— Public health dictates that we do this in a judicious and thoughtful way.”

- California Governor Gavin Newsom Riverside County Supervisors acknowledged the need to engage with the state and neighboring counties to develop public health and safety criteria appropriate for large, diverse urban communities—Riverside is the fourth most populous county in the state.

Among the first priorities mentioned in the county’s 33-page document was the need to provide a path to reopen the county’s economy with the proper health and safety measures in place. As a preamble, the plan offered the following argument: “[W]ithout a proper fiscal base, grounded on a healthy economy, the County of Riverside cannot provide essential services to protect public health and safety.”

In the county’s Reopening Framework, supervisors stated, “[We] strongly advocate, on behalf of our residents and businesses, that the state work with the county to acknowledge that we are ready to accelerate through the Governor’s Stage 2.”

When California Governor Gavin Newsom announced Tuesday, March 5th, the state was moving to a structured Phase 2 of its reopening strategy, he emphasized this phase includes the opening of office workspaces where teleworking is not possible, outdoor museums and limited personal services like car washes, dog-grooming and landscaping businesses, provided there are protections to limit the spread of COVID-19.

This week, Newsom revised Phase 2 to

include dine-in restaurants, shopping malls and office buildings.

Statewide guidance for these sectors is available online.

In the meantime, Riverside County is seeking a regional variance be applied to religious services, personal care/grooming services, hospitality services and wineries. And possibly, since the governor has added sit-down restaurants, etc. to Phase 2, the county may seek to include reopening these facilities as well.

This is because despite Riverside County Supervisors’ continued push to open quickly for economic reasons, when California entered Phase 2 on March 5th, there were only two counties in the state who met the requirements for reopening.

Today, only 15 of the state’s 58 counties meet the established requirements—Riverside is “not” listed among them.

California’s expectations for Stage 2 openings include: no more than one new COVID-19 case per 10,000 residents in the past 14 days; no COVID-19 deaths in the past 14 days; essential workers must have access to Personal Protection Equipment (PPEs); a minimum of 1.5 tests per 100,000 residents being conducted daily; at least 15 contact tracers per 100,000 residents; the ability to temporarily house 15 percent of the county's homeless population; hospitals are equipped to handle a 35 percent surge at

10 VOICE | MAY 21, 2020 | theievoice.com

minimum; nursing facilities have a two-week supply of personal protective equipment; and, the continued monitoring of metrics to potentially re-enact restrictions.

Although Riverside has met some of the requirements for Phase 2 reopening, it has failed to meet all of them.

Riverside residents continue dying. After the Board of Supervisors’ controversial vote on Friday to abandon social distancing and facemasks; by Monday, the municipality had added 150 new confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 27 additional deaths. This raised the county’s COVID-19 totals to 5,189 confirmed cases and 217 deaths.

Two days later, on Wednesday, May 13th, the county had already added another 154 confirmed cases and brought the county’s total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases to 5,343, and another 11 Riverside residents were dead— this raised Riverside County’s COVID-19 death toll to 228.

The IE Voice/Black Voice News reached out to Riverside County Health Officer Dr. Cameron Kaiser, who leads the county Department of Public Health and requested his position as a “healthcare professional” regarding the value of wearing facemasks and social distancing, in part to protect the person wearing it, but more so to protect everyone he/she may interact with while the virus continues to spread.

E

S T O R Y After the Board voted unanimously to rescind the order Friday, May 8, 2020, Kaiser immediately responded to the Board’s direction and rescinded the order in his role as the county’s health officer; but little has been revealed about his professional insights as a physician regarding the efficacy of this action, particularly in relation to the Hippocratic oath taken by himself and every physician that states in part, “First, do no harm.”

A spokesperson for the Department of Public Health, Jose Arballo Jr., answered the request for comment from Dr. Kaiser saying, “At this time, Dr. Kaiser is not available to respond.” In late March however, Arballo himself stated to KCAL, “When you wear a face covering, not only are you protecting yourself, you’re protecting other people from you.”

When Governor Newsom announced the state was moving to Phase 2, a little more than a week ago, he acknowledged, “We know that one size doesn’t fit all.” Adding, “We recognize that certain parts of our state have been hit harder while other regions have felt less impact from COVID-19.”

It appears Riverside County officials embraced the governor’s recognition that one size does not fit all—it appears from the perspective of the area’s supervisors—the governor’s plan does not fit Riverside County.

Yet, Riverside County rates second in the state—only behind Los Angeles—in the number of confirmed cases per 100,000 residents and the number of deaths per 100,000 residents, according to a recently published LA Times report.

At 220.2 confirmed COVID-19 cases per hundred thousand in Riverside County, the next closest county—ranking third in the state—is San Diego County which had only 156.3 confirmed cases per 100,000 during the same period.

San Diego also placed a distant third behind Riverside County with 5.8 deaths per 100,000 residents compared to Riverside’s 9.4 deaths.

The governor stressed, “We will continue our active engagement with counties to begin easing the Stay at Home order only when the science, data and public health tell us it’s safe to do so.”

Riverside County Supervisors are purportedly unmoved by science, data or public health experts. Instead, they appear to

Members of the Riverside County Board of Supervisors, some wearing masks, recite the Pledge of Allegience at the start of their Tuesday, May 12, 2020, meeting. (Via the Riverside County website)

rely on the—pandemic and infectious disease expertise—of local business leaders and political leaders to guide their decisions as evidenced in the county’s reopening strategy.

It clearly declares, “The state’s required epidemiologic benchmarks for advancement through Accelerated Stage 2 are unrealistic for urban counties, and Riverside County in particular, where our geographic size and population make it impossible that no deaths from COVID-19 will result in a 14-day timeframe.” It appears they forgot the basic math theory that teaches everything is relative.

The county is seeking to form an alliance with nearby counties to press the governor to acquiesce to their demand to loosen some of his requirements—particularly regarding COVID-19 related deaths.

Some speculate the supervisors may have forgotten there was a time, not so long ago, when Riverside residents did not fear or die from COVID-19. As expressed by Riverside County resident Marie Davis, “We are hopeful the time will come when people dying from this disease will be rare. Davis said she understands the need to reopen but believes doing everything

to protect human life should come first.”

Riverside County officials, however, appear comfortable with their new projections recently adjusted downward which reflect what they defined as “our current situation.”

“As of May 11, 2020,” they wrote, “[O] ur projections show a total case count of approximately 6,500 and 240 deaths by the end of May” They further noted how,”[The county’s] actual daily case counts have been mirroring this projection quite closely.”

However, data tallied on the county’s own Department of Public Health’s website belies this proclamation. After accruing 38 additional deaths from Friday, May 6 to Wednesday, May 13, the county deaths already totaled 228 and May had not reached the half-way point. At this rate it seems sadly certain, the county may exceed 240 deaths before the end of the month.

Riverside’s Readiness and Reopening Framework makes frequent reference to following best practices to guide its way forward as it plans for the reopening of businesses and public facilities. It also notes the importance of limiting the spread of COVID-19. continued on page 17

Riverside City Council Makes Virtual Public Comments Easier

Riverside

D

uring a virtual Riverside City Council meeting on Tuesday, May 12, 2020, for the first time members of the public were allowed to speak remotely for three minutes and make suggestions on certain issues and topics.

Going forward, the city advised there will be many opportunities to make a comment or suggestion during council meetings, public hearings and workshops as the community continues to shelter in place.

“I am pleased that our constituents once again have multiple opportunities to speak at each meeting, as they did when meetings were in the Council chambers,” said Mayor Rusty Bailey.

When initial stay-at-home orders were issued by Governor Gavin Newsom, the first virtual City Council meeting in Riverside, the public was directed to participate in a ‘drive up public comment’ process, where they would drive up to City Hall and speak to a camera to ask questions.

This new feature allows the public to comment faster in comparison to the drive-up option, to communicate concerns and suggestions regarding

city matters.

“This is the latest evolution in our ongoing effort to ensure residents have the ability to address their government during these unique circumstances,” said Bailey.

The option to make a comment during the portion of the meeting when the council is discussing a topic of interest, is available by calling (951) 826-8600. When calling in, callers are asked to mute the device they are watching from to prevent distortion of sound during the live feed.

The best way to determine when to call is by watching the meeting via www.engageriverside.com , RiversideTV cable channels, or City social media live feeds.

If you wish to comment, but choose not to call in, residents can continue to submit their comments via email to www.engageriverside.com or by sending a card or letter.

Essential, Not Sacrificial, continued from page 3

a hero to zero when there’s still a pandemic out there? What has changed?”

To that I respond, “Nothing, except the businesses’ penchant for greed could no longer be contained.” It might have come down to weighing how much every $2 an hour additional in hazard pay they provided frontline workers was taking away from the corporate bottom line—possibly reducing CEO bonus payments at the end of the year.

Some might argue CEO’s would not dare give themselves a bonus in this weak economy; but we all know there is no end to their boldness—just recall what happened in the wake of the Great Recession of 2008.

I am not afraid to call their names and encourage our readers—whenever possible—to patronize other businesses in lieu of these. Afterall, even in the age of COVID-19 we have choices about where we choose to spend our precious dollars. Not surprisingly, Target and Amazon were among the first to announce they were rescinding the bonuses, though certainly they will not be the last. In the coming weeks, expect others to quietly follow suit.

Frontline workers are among the heroes and sheroes of this pandemic, yet they remain some of the lowest-paid employees in the nation. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported retail cashiers nationally, for example, earn a median hourly wage of only $11.37 per hour.

As corporations race to cut hazard pay, the U.S. House of Representatives took this issue into their own hands late last week and passed the latest version of coronavirus stimulus. It includes a $200 billion “Heroes Fund” to boost pay for essential workers across the country by $13 an hour. Right now, however, this appears to be no more than a pipe dream.

Even though there is some bi-partisan support in the Senate with Republican Utah Senator Mitt Romney offering a similar proposal which calls for a temporary, $12 per hour raise for low- to middleincome essential workers; and a separate initiative being stewarded by a bi-partisan group of Senators which proposes a 25 percent raise across the board for federal employees who are unable—due to the nature of their work—to maintain proper distancing from others, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has made it clear he has no intention of entertaining any additional stimulus— for front line workers or anyone else—except of course big businesses.

McConnell is pushing to make corporations

harmless of liability should one of their employees contract the virus. He is pushing this on the heels of the president’s waiver of liability for the meatpacking industry. Now, if these employees do not come to work—and in essence, risk their lives— they will no longer be eligible for unemployment benefits.

This leaves workers, most of whom live from pay day to payday, little option. The ultimate question is, under these circumstances, if an employee returns to work and subsequently contracts COVID-19—Will it be considered suicide or murder?

In this instance, is the worker self-accountable for his/her own demise—after all, it was their decision to report to work right? Are we as consumers responsible for continuing to patronize their employers, when those of us who follow the science understand the risks they are being asked to take? Is it the government’s fault because it failed to implement a solution that might have kept them safe? Or, are the corporations to blame for placing the economy over human life. These are ethical questions we must begin to ask ourselves.

Meanwhile, it is once again time to raise our voices and push the Senate to act. Take out your cell phones or open your computers and reach out to California Senators Kamala Harris and Dianne Feinstein as well as Senate Leader McConnell to demand action on the “Heroes Fund” legislation: You can call the Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and a switchboard operator will connect you directly with the Senate office you request.

You can email Senator Feinstein by logging onto https://www.feinstein.senate.gov; Senator Harris at www.harris.senate.gov; and you can also send an email to Majority Leader McConnell at www. mcconnell.senate.gov.

Sure, some of you might say why write or call when it probably will not make a difference.

To that I say, we will never know unless we try.

Afterall, Fredrick Douglass taught us, “Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.”

These frontline workers risk their lives everyday for those of us who have the flexibility of staying home or have the absolute need, because we are high risk, to stay at home. If they can risk their lives for our convenience, the very least we can do is make a call or send an email to fight for them.

Of course, this is just my opinion. I’m keeping it real.

Sailor of the Year

Moreno Valley, CA - Moreno Valley native, Petty Officer 1st Class Lequisha Shiness was recently honored as the Naval Shore Activities Sailor of the Year. The award allows Navy commands to highlight their top sailors and reward them for their hard work and dedication. Petty Officer Shiness now goes on to compete against other command finalists to be recognized as the Sea/Shore Sailor of the Year for the entire U.S. Navy. Final winners of the competition earn promotion to the rank of chief petty officer.

Shines grew up in the cities of Compton and Moreno Valley and various small cities across Southern California.

She graduated from Valley View High School in 2001.

Commenting about her decision to join the Navy she said, “I joined the Navy to become a better person, I wanted to have a different outcome of the norm that I was surrounded by.” She continued, “I didn’t come from a family that was financially stable, so the Navy was the only way for me to pursue a career and a higher education for free. I wanted to travel. The Navy was the logical choice to fulfill all of that for me at the age of 17.”

may end up providing a false sense of security and actually unravel our efforts.

Masks for the masses is not dealing with the real problem. Putting on a mask will not give us superpowers. They will not make social distancing unnecessary.

We have more practice ahead. Thankfully we have role models whose hard work and sacrifice makes our workload appear enviable, whose own lives rely on our behavioral changes. We already have masked heroes: our healthcare workers. Let’s do our part to protect them.

Children and Family Services believe Abuse is Going Unreported Saida Maalin Contributor San Bernardino

A

s stay-at-home orders are forcing families to self isolate, welfare officials in San Bernardino County believe children are at risk of parental abuse and it is going undetected.

“With the stay-at-home orders, children are not having face-to-face contact with those professionals in the community designated ‘mandated child abuse reporters.’ [This includes] doctors, teachers, mental health counselors and the like who are often able to detect concerns early on,” said Marlene Hagen, Director of County Children and Family services.

They believe cases are being underreported and there is actually a rise in domestic abuse during this COVID-19 pandemic.

While some families are enjoying this time to bond and stay safe, others are at risk of spousal and child emotional and physical abuse.

As restrictions continue into the summer and schools remain closed, families are forced to stay indoors while limiting their time apart.

“In many cases, even friends, relatives and neighbors are having little or no contact and are thus unable to notice any problems,” said Hagen.

According to San Bernardino County officials,--since the middle of March--tips and calls have decreased when the opposite was expected.

San Bernardino County officials report that they are doing everything they can to keep children safe during this testing time and have a team taking a look into every day reports of child abuse.

When reporting an incident of abuse, remember to include date,

T H E

description of abuse--such as injuries, identity of abuser and relationship, witnesses to the incident, details of physical evidence, status of abused child--if he/she needs medical attention, location of child and a statement, if possible, from the victim.

Hagen asks if you know someone who requires these resources and is being abused or neglected, please contact the Child Abuse Hotline at (800) 827-8724, 211 or if it is a serious emergency, call 911.

Beware! COVID-19 Scams Continue Saida Maalin Contributor

mericans are being alerted to beware of COVID-19 related scams including calls, advertisements, emails and text messages.

“If you receive calls, emails, or other communications claiming to be from the Treasury Department and offering COVID-19 related grants or stimulus payments in exchange for personal financial information, or an advance fee, or charge of any kind, including the purchase of gift cards, please do not respond,” the U.S. Department of Treasury is warning citizens not to respond.

Scammers seem to be taking advantage of people during this pandemic. Any fears associated with the pandemic is what these criminals are preying upon.

The World Health Organization (WHO) is begging everyone to keep their eye out for phone calls and texts claiming to be addressed from them asking for account information or money.

Other scams include fake take-home test kits, vaccines, charity scams and debt relief programs. People are warned not to give out any personal information, especially financial.

Unknown calls, text messages and social media advertisements have been the main ways cybercriminals take advantage of people.

There are many organizations working to protect consumers including the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), World Health Organization, United States Department of Treasury, Better Business Bureau, Federal Trade Commission and the U.S. Food and Drug Administrations.

“If you think you've been a victim of a coronavirus scam, contact law enforcement immediately,”it states on the FCC website.

Financially, many families are taking a hit during this crisis. Don’t be bamboozled into an over-sensationalized work from home job offer from scammers impersonating companies.

The FCC has provided six tips on how to assure your personal and financial safety from these COVID-19 related scams.

These tips include being cautious of who you respond to in texts, emails and phone, to protect your financial and personal information by not giving it to anyone, government agencies will never call your phone, charity can be verified online and to not click on questionable links attached to a text.

immense wealth gap between Whites and Blacks in the United States along historical patterns that extend back to slavery.

Currently, the median net worth of a White family in the United States is $171,000 compared to $17,600 for Black families, according to the California Budget Center.

In California, African Americans make up about 6 percent of the population, but account for about 20 percent of all Californians with household incomes below the United States poverty threshold, according to Kaiser Family Foundation research.

"Income and wealth inequality have roots in slavery and have been codified time and again with anti-black policy decisions," said Isaac Bryan, Executive Director of UCLA's Black Policy Project at the Bunche Center for African American Studies.

Besides Weber, other members of the CLBC sponsoring the legislation are: Senators Steven Bradford (D-Los Angeles) and Holly J. Mitchell (D-Los Angeles); and Assemblymembers Autumn Burke (D-South Bay, Los Angeles), Jim Cooper (D-Sacramento), Mike Gipson (D-Carson), Chris R. Holden (D-Pasadena), Reginald Jones-Sawyer (D-Los Angeles), Sydney Kamlager (D-Los Angeles), and Kevin McCarty (D-Sacramento).

"The visible representation of those collective failures can be seen right outside on our streets,” Bryan said. “Over 40 percent of the bodies forced to live in abject destitution on our streets are Black bodies. This is not a coincidence. It is not an accident. And, it does not have to be this way.”

Riverside County, continued from page 13

County is not among them, though they are seeking a waiver for more rapid, Phase 2 reopening.

Newsom has a 4 stage plan introduced in April, to reopen the state’s economy. The stages begin with Safety and Preparedness, Lower Risk Workplaces, Higher Risk Workplaces and finally, ending the state’s stay-at-home order.

Each stage is to environmentally modify and implement safe work spaces in higher and lower risk sectors by ensuring everyone is prepared.

“As a county, we stay focused on the mission of achieving progress across multiple benchmarks of public health and meet the capacity to eventually get more sectors of the economy reopened. With that said, I look forward to working with Public Health and the Economic Recovery Taskforce to ensure a cautious reopening through this phase and into the next phases,” said Riverside County Board Chair and Fourth District Supervisor V. Manuel Perez.

Stay-at-home orders have been extended in California possibly through the summer and COVID testing is available as locations increase the number of tests on individuals they are capable of performing in a day to 3,200 from 2,200.

County officials are hopeful, the more tests taken, the more information health officials can gather, will enable them to decide to open higher risk businesses sooner rather than later.

San Bernardino Symphony Orchestra Celebrates Grant Award

Saida Maalin Contributor San Bernardino

T

he San Bernardino Symphony Orchestra was awarded a $19,000 Grant by the California Arts Council (CAC) on May 4.

The Arts Education Exposure Grant is provided by CAC to benefit student participation, support future concerts and help offset organization related expenses.

“We are thrilled with this opportunity,” said Dr. Anne Viricel, the Symphony’s Executive Director.

The goal of the Exposure Grant, is to allow funding to create an environment in which students can thrive in their communities.

“Experiences will offer deep cultural resonance with the student communities served and will be complemented by pre- and postattendance activities, such as artist talkbacks,

teaching artist workshops, and facility tours,” said Kim Brown of CAC. This is the first year CAC has awarded over $30 million in grants to aid California’s art, culture, and gifted creatives to flourish. This represents a $5 million increase in grant funding when compared to the previous fiscal year.

“Organizations were awarded grants across 15 different program areas addressing access, equity, and inclusion; community vibrancy; arts learning and engagement; and directly benefiting our state's communities, with youth, veterans, returned citizens, and California's historically marginalized communities key among them,” said Brown.

Throughout California, 17 grant programs were awarded to schools, communities, public media, jump start programs, incarcerated

adults who reenter the Arts, local organizations, Veterans, and the youth.

The San Bernardino Symphony Orchestra was one of 140 grantees. Other Exposure grant recipients in the area include the Redlands Symphony Association who was awarded $20,000, and the Redlands Community Music Association Inc. received $19,000.

Although the grant will help fund San Bernardino Symphony Orchestra related expenses, it should be remembered due to COVID-19, future concerts and events may be postponed and/or rescheduled.

“Interested members of the public, artists, arts organizations, and community leaders are encouraged to visit the California Arts Council website to learn about future grant opportunities as details become available” said Brown.
