How one faith-based couple is helping homeless in Colton

C

By anthony victoria

ommunity In Unity Founders John and Kathy Braxton have organized events at Veterans Park in Colton to reach out to those feeling down and out--displaced residents, transients, and drug and alcohol abusers.

With the help of County agencies and community nonprofits, those in need can secure an array of food, clothing, and resources for a limited amount of time through the nonprofit’s support.

However, the Braxtons understand that there needs to be a long term solution to the growing issue of homelessness in the city.

Providing resources and food are really only a “band aid” to the larger issue at hand, the Braxtons argue.

“What we don’t have is a central location where we could house people, while also providing resources,” said Pastor John, a former substance abuser.

“We’re feeding them, but the problem is retaining them and providing resources.”

Families gather to take group photos in front of Colton’s Christmas tree after the initial lighting on Nov. 30.

olton residents came together for the annual Christmas Tree Lighting at City Hall on November 30.

Colton’s Recreation Manager Nicole Van Winkle said this was the largest crowd the event has had with about 600 people in attendance.

“This is a citywide effort,” Van Winkle said. “We value being able to contribute to the community.”

Highlights of the event included the initial lighting of the Christmas tree in front of City Hall and the introduction of Santa Claus via fire engine. There was also a screening of Mickey’s Christmas Carol for families to watch.

Colton Community Services provided free hot chocolate and pastries to enjoy during the film.

In Time homeless count for this year indicates Colton currently has 41 people living on the streets.

“These events have a positive effect on the community,” Armando Marquez said. “The kids see this environment and want to participate.”

Larry Rivas, Vice Chair of the Colton’s Parks and Recreation Department said there is a need for more positive events like this in the community.

“The efforts of community service is second to none,” Rivas said.

case-by-case basis.

John Braxton agrees that homeless cases vary depending on social or economic factors. In many cases, the faith based leader explained, people are forced onto the street because of financial hardship.

“You have people living paycheck to paycheck,” he expressed. “Say they have a check for $880. They have to choose between paying the rent or paying for food and

clothing. They’re doing the bare minimum to survive.”

Kathy Braxton, who is also head of the Sick and Tired Transformation and Recovery Home organization, believes she and her husband can play a pivotal role in helping city officials address homelessness.

“I think we have enough resources to give people a ray of hope,” she said. “We’re willing to sit at the table to find solutions.”

dependently. Lastly, we are supposed to be accountable and transparent with our work. We must take responsibility for what we write.

Whether it is community news or world news, journalists take the responsibility of accurately reporting and producing information for the rest of the people.

Interning with IECN gave me the opportunity to do just that. I reported on numerous matters in the city that dealt with social welfare and community service and I featured residents who have made an impact on the city.

It’s important to be aware of these journalistic principles when it comes to reporting on community news because it is possible for information to be misconstrued by the audience.

Remembering Fidel Castro’s Death

his past week marked the anniversary of the death of Fidel Castro, our hemisphere’s worst dictator for a half century. When we remember Castro’s death, we should remember him for just that: death.

Expressing the depths of Fidel’s destruction is impossible in a short article. But among the corpses under his despotism were the thousands who perished while trying to escape his islandprison by swimming nearly 100 miles to American shores.

A testimony to that desperation was recently provided to my students at Grove City College by a Cuban citizen, who I must leave nameless. In describing her citizens’ surreal lives under totalitarian communism, she noted that only recently have Cubans been allowed to visit their beautiful beaches, and even then only under strict surveillance. That’s a stunning thought for a country literally surrounded by beaches.

And yet, Cubans are banned from their beaches because their government fears they’ll dash into the deep water and start paddling profusely for freedom— swimming all the way for Florida.

Imagine that. Try to conceive the utter despair. Try to wrap your mind around the cruelty of a government not even letting its suffering citizens escape—a regime so repressive that it will not dare avert its gaze for a moment lest its people attempt the physically unimaginable in the agonizing hopes of dashing from this Marxist police state.

We already know that Cuba is a bizarre island without boats.

Look at satellite images of Cuba.

No boats! There’s also no fishing industry, and people don’t have the luxury of eating fish. (They largely eat chicken, pork, rice, beans.) Why no boats? Who no fishermen? Because fishermen bolt the first chance they get— just like swimmers.

For the record, how many people have attempted the swim since Castro took over in 1959?

It’s difficult to say. In 1999, the Harvard University Press classic, The Black Book of Communism, estimated that some 100,000 Cubans had risked the treacherous journey. Of those, perhaps as many as 30,000 to 40,000 died from drowning. As those in the sea bob for breath, the government on occasion has employed the resources of the state to sink them, dropping large bags of sand at them from helicopters hovering above.

Yes, actually dropping sandbags.

As we consider the tens of thousands who’ve drowned, compare it to another glaring number: zero. That’s the total number of Americans who have attempted the swim to Cuba, including all those merry liberals raving about the wondrous “free” education and healthcare awaiting humanity in the Castro collectivist utopia.

Bill Bennett, Ronald Reagan’s secretary of education, speaks of “the gates test.” To wit: when a nation opens its gates, in which direction does humanity flow?

Well, when the United States leaves its borders unchecked, the refugees stream in. In the communist world, the apparatchiks had to build a wall in Berlin to keep the captives contained. In Cuba, they can’t even visit their beaches. I imagine the communists in Cuba would earnestly have followed the example of their old comrades in East Germany and built a wall around the beaches—if they could afford it.

Aside from those who drowned, how many others died under Fidel Castro?

Those numbers likewise run into the thousands. There were the more traditional Marxist methods: bullet to the head, deprivation, succumbing to inhumane prison conditions. The numbers vary, but the range of

dead from those means is typically between 10,000 and 20,000, whether victims of longterm imprisonment or outright execution by bullets.

Fidel’s onetime executioner-inchief, Che Guevara, today an icon to profoundly ignorant college students who sport the cruel psychopath on their t-shirts, is estimated to have overseen as many as 2,000 executions (some of which he personally performed) during the brief period he ran Fidel’s execution pit at the La Cabana concentration camp.

Beyond Che’s “bloodthirsty” (he charmingly used that word to describe himself in a letter to his wife) achievement, many more Cubans were liquidated by other state assassins. In all, most credible estimates place the total dead somewhere between 15,000 to 18,000. That’s a lot of people for a tiny island. And again, it doesn’t include those who drowned while attempting an incredible swim.

The late professor R. J. Rummel, an expert on the sordid subject of death by government, estimates that from 1959-87 alone, the grand total of cadavers produced by Fidel ranged from 35,000 to as high as 141,000.

How’s that for a resume? Actually, for a communist leader, it’s pretty typical.

As we pause to remember Fidel Castro at the one-year anniversary of his demise, let us remember him for what he achieved the most: tyranny, repression, and death.

I

Dr. Bill Abersold

feel fortunate that I’ve reached the age of 90. I acknowledge that I have fewer days ahead of me than I’ve had behind me. One of my favorite sayings is one that I heard years ago. It is a challenge. “Live everyday as if it were your last. And plan everyday as if you are going to live forever.”

As of this day, I’ve lived 32,887 days. I have no guarantee of how many more days I’ll live. I want to make them count. What are my priorities?

My relationship with God is vital. Very important. In fact, my most important goal. Everyday I remind myself of God and His love, His mercy and His forgiveness.

Stella and I are church tramps.

We rotate between Catholic, Methodist, Baptist, Congregational and Independent. Always the Catholic, but the others vary.

Family is also vital-including each other’s. We take care of each other. Watch out for one another.

I no longer can drive, so Stella is my personal UBER driver. Wherever we travel - Jack-in-the-Box, the gym, Walmart, favorite restaurants, church, grocery stores.

We often see our family (local ones) our kids, our close relatives, for lunch or just for a visit.

Friends are important. They are like flowers. Either cultivated or they die. So, I have lunch with several each week. Conversation is always stimulating. We choose our friends wisely. Seldom do we spend time with individuals that are negative. Travel, politics, religion, food, bargains, movies, books, common friends, ailments

(doctors) and each other’s plans are topics of discussion.

Another favorite activity that Stella and I have is eating out, just by ourselves. We even share jokes. My recent favorite is about a man who was meeting his daughter’s new boyfriend that was studying for the ministry.

The boyfriend would answer every question with the words, “God will provide.” Do you have a job? My daughter needs clothes, a nice house, a car, etc.”

That night his wife asked him how things went. He responded, “HE THINKS I’M GOD.” We love fast food restaurants.

Jack’s, Wendy’s, Subway, McDonald’s, Carl’s; along with Mongolian Bar-B-Q, Coco’s, Sizzler and our favorite, Sundowner’s.

We seldom go to movies, but watch a lot of T.V. I like sports and the news. Sometimes Stella watches them, but more often she likes Reba, Lucy, and Law and Order.

Writing a weekly column for several newspapers and preparing for my next book takes up a lot of our time. Remember I plan each

day as if I was going to live forever.

I write in longhand; Stella types it out. I correct it; she retypes it and it is put into a folder. I usually have several ready to go, and on Saturday we decide which ones to send to the papers and send 500plus e-mails.

Stella is also an excellent researcher. If I want to know who said, “Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion, but not their own set of facts,” she finds the answer.

We both do a lot of reading. We keep Barnes and Noble, Alibris, and our local library very busy.

I’m usually reading four or five books, switching from one to another. Always one is a novel: Carr, Coben, Baldacci are my favorite novelists.

There are several events that we look forward to every year. They are family get-togethers. About 40-50 of them attend. Stella and I have a blended family. Eight kids (2 are 60 years old,) 25 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren.

One was just born and 3 more on the way.

We get together on the Sunday

before Thanksgiving, the Sunday before Christmas and the day before Mother’s Day. It is usually a pot-luck. I have only one job - to relate the highlights, achievements and births since the previous meeting. The events are wild and noisy. In spades.

Stella and I both love cruising. If the ship just goes around in circles, Stella is happy. Since I’m living today as if I’ll live forever, I’m including going on several more cruises-including Stella.

Currently I’ve been on 143 cruises, many of them as a “destination lecturer.” With my current handicaps, it is great that most ships have handicap rooms. They are larger, including bathroom facilities. Many also have balconies.

Our future plans include: a fourday cruise to Ensenada, a cruise to Alaska, going to Seattle by train; a cruise to Baja, Mexico. More plans to follow.

Obviously, this article covers a litany of my plans for today and the next year. I am a dreamer and a positive thinker. Join me if you can.

Amen. Selah. So be it.

“We can more faithfully help and serve the homeless population,” Rivera said. “And remove the impact from the neighborhood because we’ll be able to provide service from within the shelter of a housing unit.”

Colton currently only provides basic services to its homeless population, such as access to showers and food bags. They don’t have a dedicated city staff member that oversees homeless concerns, explained Community Services Director Deb Farrar. However, they do refer people to other services.

Both City Councils directed staff to collaborate on next year’s point in time counts and coordinate on outreach efforts at river bottom encampments.

“We’re looking forward to this partnership,” said Farrar. “We know we’ll be reaping a lot of benefits.”

Colton and Riverside officials believe the Santa Ana River trail is the Inland region’s most underutilized natural resource and hope

to maximize the river’s potential for ecotourism and recreational and business development.

Riverside Land Conservancy President Patricia Lock Dawson presented examples to both councils about river improvements made in other jurisdictions and in the city. They include holding community cycling events, organizing community clean ups, paving bike paths, and planting trees and plants.

According to Dawson, the cost to complete the 155 river projects in Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino Counties is about $600 million. Turning the Santa Ana River into a public “beach” or park will help restore community pride, thus helping eliminate blight, Dawson argued.

“I leave it up to you,” Dawson told both Councils. “Do we want a generation addicted to their electronics? Or do we want to have folks out there enjoying nature and the amenities we could provide to them.”

olton and Riverside announced during a joint Council meeting at the Riverside Convention Center on Nov. 29 that they will work together to make the Santa Ana River a destination point for residents.

Among the first hurdles to improving river conditions is addressing the issue of homelessness. Directly working with the homeless population and conservation efforts will improve river safety, officials say.

“Arguably this is one the biggest public policy issues of our time,” Riverside Mayor Rusty Bailey said about homelessness. “No matter the city we represent, residents and business owners want and deserve to see solutions to this issue.”

Currently Riverside follows a

policy that focuses on a “housing first” approach to put displaced residents in affordable housing, while providing them social services. Nonetheless, the city continues to struggle with transients who reside near the river, explained Assistant City Manager Alex Nguyen.

Fifty eight percent of the 321 Riverside residents that answered a Santa Ana River survey in 2012 said safety was their biggest concern. Colton does not have available data indicating resident concerns with the river.

Riverside’s Office of Homeless Solutions will prioritize moving homeless individuals from the river bottom, city parks, and businesses into affordable dwellings.

Providing sustainable long term housing is a viable tool to provide employment and social stability to help displaced residents, believes the office’s Director Emilio Ramirez.

Reyes vows to continue improving quality of life during ‘State of 47th’ event

A

By Anthony Victoria

ssemblymember Eloise Reyes, who represents the 47th California Assembly District, told constituents on Tuesday that she will continue to fight for more resources and opportunities to improve their quality of life.

“For too long we've been overlooked,” Reyes said to over one hundred residents and local officials during her “State of the 47th” address at San Bernardino Valley College. “We have hopes here too.”

Reyes, 60, was elected by voters in Bloomington, Colton, Fontana, Grand Terrace, Muscoy, Rialto, and San Bernardino to replace Cheryl Brown in last year’s general election.

In her first year Reyes (D-Grand Terrace) introduced 19 bills, of which eight were passed. She championed workers’ rights, clean air, infrastructure improvements, and public education to name a few.

Assembly Bill 44 will provide nurse care managers to employees injured during acts of terrorism. It also removes the utilization review process, which requires a secondary physician to approve medical treatment plans already

prescribed by a patient’s primary physician. Reyes argued utilization review creates unnecessary delays that cause hardship and hinders recovery.

Assembly Bill 523 will ensure 25 percent of Electric Program Investment Charge (EPIC) funds be allocated for clean energy projects in disadvantaged communities.

In addition to passing legislation, Reyes managed to secure funding for a $500,000 firetruck for Colton, $5 million for bilingual education training for teachers, and $13 million to make renovations to the Mt. Vernon Avenue bridge in San Bernardino. She also organized several citizenship fairs and a DACA renewal workshop to help the immigrant community.

“Much has been accomplished, but it's been done with your help,” Reyes said. “With every success we've achieved together, it reveals how much more needs to be done.”

Miguel Rivera, 24, of San Bernardino believes Reyes’ actions in Sacramento will spur improvements and lift community spirits in the long term.

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 the property. 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 (916)939-0772 or visit this Internet Web http://search.nationwideposting.com/propertySearchTerms .aspx, using the file number assigned to this case CA1700281243 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.

If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee or the Mortgagee’s attorney.
