Speaker 2 (00:13):
You know, no matter what it is, the life that
you want, you gotta go out there and get it.
Still sneaking, but the driller. Never give up on your goals.
They focused on you. Focus on your succeed because I'm
hoping you do. Keep climbing up the letter because the
key to.

eight eight seven seven zero zero two now give a
call over there, and they have an incredible program team.
I'm talking Dave brand new automotive, audio visual, wait, brand
new field exercise, like cooking. I mean, like I'm trying

(04:09):
to think of all the different things we're doing there.
Plus on the weekends they often have a food bank
for the community to come through, so.

Speaker 9 (04:16):
They do a lot with students and then they're they're
building up Moscow, making that area just look so beautiful
and a place kids really want to be to go
to school.

Speaker 5 (04:26):
Kind of kind of fun there too, because they have
like all the amenities of like it looks like Beverly
hills Man, Right, So if you're interested in uh maybe
your kid needs a little extra Like there are kids
that need extra and uh maybe they are the type
of kid that sometimes gets a little mind excited and

(04:48):
they need to sit in the rec room and in
the chair and put their feet up and talk to
a counselor. And if you're you have a child like that,
this is a perfect place for you.

Speaker 9 (05:00):
Have smaller class sizes, able to focus on the kids,
give them more one on one attention.

Speaker 7 (05:06):
It's just a completely different environment.

Speaker 5 (05:09):
And why am I putting too much time in it,
not just because they're my sponsor, because I've seen what
they're doing and I'm like, wow, Like I didn't really
understand charter schools before. I thought like they kind of
sometimes make them portray like they're taking away from public schools.
But what I realize is that public schools aren't for everybody.
There's gotta be other things, even homeschool. Now I realize

(05:31):
you got to do it all men, because some kids
will excel.

Speaker 4 (05:34):
In other things.

Speaker 5 (05:35):
Right, So you know, if you're interested in giving your
kid a head start or you want to, you know,
summer school is not just for the bad kids.

Speaker 7 (05:44):
Right, you know it's kidding ahead.

Speaker 5 (05:47):
Yeah, and also you know it's fun, right, You can
have fun being social during summer school. So you know,
enroll your kids in some summer school. Now, i'd like
to mention, are I love Samredan d know stand out.

Speaker 4 (06:01):
Of the week?

Speaker 5 (06:03):
Whoa oh, I accidentally left the audio on my phone.

Speaker 4 (06:08):
I'm sorry about that, man.

Speaker 5 (06:12):
I just are you allowed to say Braden Feart on
the air? I believe you are, Okay, now that I
know the notifications on I just want to send you
text messages the whole show. Well, okay, Okay, I'm sorry.
Michael Sigura from from the Garcia Center for the Arts,

(06:33):
the Current, the director over there is the current. I
love Samonio stand Out of the Week, Austin. I want
to thank Michael for all his hard work in the community,
especially with the arts. And then of course his wife
Mariam and their team. They're from Sarmaron Nadino. They love it.
Michael went away to school, got his master's degree, came

(06:54):
back to Sam Bernardino. Right, That's what we need. We
need people that go out to school, go out and
get that experience, go start a business owner, and then
come bring it back here, help us rebuild team. It
takes us coming back and we can do it. We
can do it together.

Speaker 7 (07:15):
So I want to talk about that a little bit.

Speaker 9 (07:17):
Just Di scosh one of the things in Michael's a
great example of that and what you said, but there's
so much more that goes with it. And what I
mean by that is it's the heart. Because I've seen
people like you and I basically all of our lives
maybe a little bit of time away, you know. I
lived away for some elementary years and college years and

(07:40):
came back and did and do for our city. But
I think people people that come here and fall in
love with Sameronardino, and I can name some that have
really made huge differences.

Speaker 7 (07:52):
Mike Gallo was one.

Speaker 9 (07:53):
You know, he wasn't from here, but by the time
he lived here and he did, he did more than
a thousand people that are from this area.

Speaker 5 (08:01):
And and still those fruits of his labor are bearing.

Speaker 9 (08:04):
Results, absolutely, And so I think a big part of
it is that heart, that love we have for sam Nino, and.

Speaker 5 (08:13):
That's why we do what we do right right, the
biggest cheerleaders in town.

Speaker 7 (08:17):
Yeah, hearts find hearts. I say that it's true, so true, all.

Speaker 5 (08:23):
Right, and thank you Michael and Marriman. Like I know,
it's not going to be easy restarting all the work
over there at the Garcia said of the arts and
turning it into your new vision as the new director, Right,
We're gonna be patient with you and and and look
at and see all the incredible stuff that you're coming
up with. I already noticed he as a weekly what's

(08:46):
going on in the weekend post.

Speaker 4 (08:48):
That's awesome.

Speaker 5 (08:49):
They're doing a lot with the community garden. I just
think that that uh, that that space in itself is
going to be able to blossom.

Speaker 10 (08:59):
And maybe we work with with other groups and spaces
in the community.

Speaker 4 (09:03):
Right for sure?

Speaker 5 (09:04):
Yeah, I mean because because this is this is how
we're gonna build sam Renandino back is through teamwork. There's
been enough of this. I can do it on my own,
or I'll get there on your back and then not
work with you anymore. I like, that's just there's too
much of that stuff. That's all gonna end now when
the money's gone, Now the free money's gone. Only the

(09:27):
people that really work hard are gonna have those non
for profits, right, Only the people that can prove the
data with their actual financials laid out, proving that they
can bring in a matching some all these things. Because
the crants are gonna dry up. Federal funds are gone, right,
so it's gonna be up to Cali to handle it. Well,
Cally's got a.

Speaker 10 (09:48):
Deficit, So where is there gonna Cat's gonna come from
all the special stuff you know that we love, Right,
So we got to be prepared for this by working together.

Speaker 5 (09:58):
It gets a little bit past that possibility of maybe
losing out a whole team, because if you lose your organization,
that just hurts San Renardino if you lose your space
and everything because you don't have the money. Right, That's
why if we work together, there's a better chance that
will be successful. So I'm building us up now. We

(10:19):
got to work yet.

Speaker 9 (10:20):
What you got something that I do, yes of just
working together and what it landed and where it's going.
So you know, we had Love your Block come out
recently the grant.

Speaker 5 (10:32):
Yes, yes, and you did a lot of work with that.

Speaker 9 (10:35):
I did a lot of work with that, and I
received the top funding to do a mural up at
Western Regionals and partnering with Western Regionals, they're matching the
funding and so that'll put that back in the community.
I know when we were on the Arts and Historical
Preservation Commission that it was for every dollar you put

(10:58):
in in arts, it was three dollars up back to
the city. So that ten thousand dollars going into that
up there will bring back thirty thousand dollars. And I
really think more because look at how many people we
get at Western Regionals from the twelfth stage everywhere, They're
gonna want to take selfies in front of it, photos

(11:18):
in front of it. We're getting the kids involved they're
going to have a whole rainbow of handprints from all
the kids.

Speaker 7 (11:26):
Like it's going to be.

Speaker 9 (11:27):
Truly amazing, and they're unveiling it on opening night for baseball,
So it's gonna be amazing for that.

Speaker 5 (11:35):
Okay, Well that sounds.

Speaker 7 (11:38):
Like unity in the game.

Speaker 5 (11:42):
Yeah, it's like it's like, actually you bring all the
pieces of the puzzle together and you actually get a
good result, and then that produces like good memories, pictures
and stuff for the future. Right, we want that's the
ultimate goal, is to create nostalgia for a kids, right,
and then they'll want to do nice things later on,

(12:03):
right if they don't have it all? Right, Well, that's
pretty cool. And that has brought to you. Thank you
Michael Sagura and I love San Marino. Stand Out of
the Week is brought to you by Milk Josh Shaboo Shaboo.
Right across the street from uh, I don't always want
to say price club Man, Costco, I don't want an old.

Speaker 7 (12:26):
Well, they were best friends.

Speaker 9 (12:27):
One started one, the other started the other, and then
he bought them out, So go aheadach.

Speaker 5 (12:32):
So right across the street from Costco, and it's it's
it's like a foodies dream. They give you all these
select fine cuts of meat and uh you dip them
in the hot pot as it's boiling in front of
you with all the vegetables. It's really good. Team go
out and try it and uh, you know, go on
a date and enjoy some shaboo chaboo over there at
a milk job shaboo chabou right across the street on

(12:53):
Hospitality Lane from Costco. And they also have some good
spots over on Andreson and uh Redlands Boulevard. It's called
Mochi Nut and BBQ Korean Fried Chicken and there are
some really good food. So go have breakfast and then
have lunch right and good people there. Thank you, Cindy
Top for all you've done for us. And how do

(13:17):
I request city services? I'm gonna ask you a question
on this one. You're ready for the pop quiz guy.

Speaker 4 (13:27):
You're asking me?

Speaker 5 (13:29):
Yeah, I could probably he who you're talking to?

Speaker 4 (13:32):
You?

Speaker 5 (13:32):
Is Trump getting the hold of you? Or if you're
talking to the President. We'll stop the show because Eric
gets those calls every day.

Speaker 10 (13:44):
All right, Well, how do you request city services?

Speaker 5 (13:48):
Sbcity dot org, slash SB access online or get the
mobile app at the app store, go SB City and
then you put information. They'll usually get there within a
few days, sends you back information to let you know
exactly what happened. Put the GPS coordinates, and then there
is all there. You're good. Put them a picture even
if you want, or you can give a call. The

(14:09):
old school away nine O nine three eight four seven
two seven two, and I'd say give them a call. Team.
The front of your area isn't gonna get cleaned up
by itself, so either you do it or you have
somebody else do it. Well, if it's a piece of
property across the street from you, you can't do it
really right. You have to have the owner do it.
We'll give a call in how code enforcement come out
there and fix it. If we ain't fixing up our

(14:32):
own city, then who is going to right. It's not
bad to call code enforcement. It's bad when you let
these eye sores rot because a lot of these people
aren't poor people that you're calling on. It's some rich
property owner that's not taking care of their property right.
So that's what you gotta realize with us. And now

(14:53):
though there's sometimes it's other things too, And I'm sure
you guys can call on that too, But this running
your rare for graffiti potholes. You know you got a
pot hole around I live in front of one of
the biggest potholes in the whole city, and I've showed
all the council members. But the street in front of
there has never ever, ever, ever been paved ever. It's cement.

(15:16):
It's never been paved because you have that asphalt to
pave it.

Speaker 4 (15:20):
It's cement.

Speaker 5 (15:22):
So that's old school.

Speaker 9 (15:25):
So I don't know if you've been up and down
Mountain View between thirtieth and like thirty what is that
six thirty eight?

Speaker 5 (15:33):
I lost about forty park side walking that.

Speaker 7 (15:35):
Okay, the trees.

Speaker 9 (15:37):
They put all kinds of new stop signs up, but
they only put them on one side of the road,
and the trees are completely blocking them and you can
see it within two.

Speaker 7 (15:46):
Or three feet.

Speaker 9 (15:47):
And I can't tell you how many people I've seen
run those stop signs because you don't see them until
it's too late.

Speaker 5 (15:53):
There's a new one on Valencia too that people keep
blowing through.

Speaker 7 (15:56):
It's brutal, and it's it's all up and down the street.

Speaker 9 (15:58):
There's probably four or five new stop signs that people
are just blowing through because of it.

Speaker 5 (16:04):
So see, you guys, have you seen any of new
stop signs? Have you been through any of them?

Speaker 4 (16:09):
View, but I didn't really pay attention.

Speaker 5 (16:11):
Yeah, they got some new roads. They're they're actually paving
a few things too, like some side roads and stuff. So,
I mean, I know it's a little This is more
of the intricate part and the interview part of the show,
But this is how we explain to the people what's
going on in the community and how they can actually
make a difference, because it's not easy to make a
difference in our city. It's like not like a lot

(16:32):
of times you can get in trouble making a difference.
You try to go down to the park and give
away free food, how quick you're gonna get a code
and fostment violation like that, and then they're not gonna
take it away either. You're gonna have to pay that thing,
and then they're probably gonna charge you to have to
pick up all the trash that the homeless left behind
because we did it. That's how bad it is. So
we have to really be on it and understand what

(16:54):
we can do as a community and what is allowed
as a community. And that's a lot of the times
asking for forgiveness, you.

Speaker 10 (17:02):
Know, and sometimes you know, you gotta ask for all right.

Speaker 5 (17:08):
So so today I like you both to introduce yourselves
and kind of a what what your what your position is,
and where you're from.

Speaker 2 (17:18):
My name is.

Speaker 8 (17:19):
I'm a program assistant for Mike Enterprise Applian Collaborative of
Villain Southern California. I did grow up in Samardino, born

and uplift the community, especially the economic development between our
local community in the small business ecosystem and you.

Speaker 4 (18:26):
After COVID, or roughly maybe a year or so, right
after COVID.

Speaker 11 (18:31):
And we're talking about just our new space and also
the things that we're trying to do in San Bernardino.

Speaker 4 (18:50):
Or she's a okay?

Speaker 5 (18:53):
Sorry, but yeah, you've guys been working together for a
long time.

Speaker 11 (18:56):
Yeah, we've been working together for about five years. And
now we've come back to the city because we were
originally in Redlands and we've transitioned into the school districts here,
so we're actually working at a number of different schools
in San Berndina.

Speaker 5 (19:13):
And what have you been doing?

Speaker 1 (19:14):
Who are you?

Speaker 7 (19:15):
Who am I? I'm Tanya Road Tensley and I do
several things.

Speaker 4 (19:21):
Were you born?

Speaker 7 (19:22):
I was born in Sanarandino, raised here, you know.

Speaker 9 (19:26):
Right now I'm doing work with Arrowhead United Way retired
educator and then whatever I can do in the community
to make it a Yeah.

Speaker 5 (19:39):
And Arlington, he's a cool dude.

Speaker 9 (19:41):
Yeah, making things happen for our city. We have a
big Brave event coming up on June seventh, so I'll
make sure I let her know that I put that
out to the community.

Speaker 7 (19:51):
It's a veterans event.

Speaker 9 (19:52):
This will be our second one, which is our first
dannual where we're bringing out services to the veterans and
making things happen for them. If they need help getting
their paperwork, housing, food we're doing.

Speaker 7 (20:06):
We're feeding anyone.

Speaker 9 (20:07):
That's a veteran can come out and get lunch, you know, breakfast, okay.

Speaker 5 (20:11):
And Talk of the Town Ye, how long? How do
they get a.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
Hold of that?

Speaker 9 (20:17):
Talk of the Town is on Facebook and you can
look it up. It's a page, it's not a group,
so it's a little bit different. You can message me
there and I always respond if you want me to
come cover an event, you want me to come see
what's going on, you want to be interviewed, make something happen.

Speaker 7 (20:38):
I do all of those things for the community.

Speaker 5 (20:41):
How do we get a hold of your stuff on
social media? Yeah?

Speaker 11 (20:44):
We have a Facebook Page's Stronger Together now on Facebook
and we also have an Instagram page, so stronger if
you guys.

Speaker 5 (20:50):
Want to go to these right now and check them
out right.

Speaker 8 (20:53):
Yes, that's well Instagram and Facebook. It would be under
microaner Price Collaborative, my.

Speaker 4 (20:57):
G Advice colloudative.

Speaker 5 (20:58):
So with the micro Enterprise Collaborative, your goal is to
get businesses in contact with services that our local utilities provide,
right or more than that?

Speaker 8 (21:11):
Well, right now, we are in collaboration with Southern Edison
and the Chamber of Vallance and Chino Valley to inform
and educate families in regards to the Power Savers Rewards program.
When families are signed up for this, they receive an
extra credit on their bill during flex alerts. So alert

(21:33):
a flex alert is basically when it's really really hot
and they send out a flex alert to turn off
your appliances from four.

Speaker 7 (21:40):
To nine PM.

Speaker 5 (21:41):
And that will save you money.

Speaker 8 (21:43):
That will save you money, and it will save us
energy as a whole. Why because when time gets really hot,
if we have an outage, then the people who really
need the energy, like people with stabilities, right that they
need the oxygen, all that good stuff, they won't be
able to get the service. So we are trying just

(22:03):
to reserve energy as a community and educate the families
to get an extra credit on their bill.

Speaker 7 (22:10):
Why not right?

Speaker 8 (22:11):
And and what Micro Enterprise Collaborative does is we connect
the small businesses to resources at low cost to no costs.
Maybe they need a business planning, maybe they need to
become legal, they don't know how to become legal. We
can connect them with somebody. Maybe they need a tax preparation,
et cetera. Whatever they need, we can connect them to

(22:34):
the serve to the correct service provider that will assist
them at low cost to no costs. And this is
very important work because a lot of the times these
small businesses are not able to thrive because they don't
have the resources to be able to do so.

Speaker 5 (22:49):
Right, and you serve businesses to help connect them to
those resources.

Speaker 9 (22:53):
That is right?

Speaker 5 (22:53):
So us like, could you help non for profits too?

Speaker 8 (22:58):
So we don't have nonprofit on our web page right now?
What we have nonprofits that help the small businesses. So
for example, we have a seven hundred network based like Association, Accessity,
am Pack, SBDC, Women's Business Center. So all these nonprofit

(23:23):
organizations that kind of do the same work that we do.
We gather together to uplift the small business community.

Speaker 5 (23:30):
So yeah, that is that sounds so I'm kind of
I'm not same. And a synopsis. If you want to
get this extra credit on your bill, you can help
set that up, but they can do it on their
own right now.

Speaker 8 (23:46):
Yeah, so a lot of the families are already signed
up automatically, but if not, you can go online and
you can easily sign up, or you can give them
a call ass one.

Speaker 5 (23:57):
And that's your job too, is to inform people yes,
that is available, Yes, yes, awesome, awesome, And your your director's.

Speaker 8 (24:04):
Name, My director, Miss Pamela Dean's she's an she's been
executive director for over four years with Micro Enterprise Collaborative.
And we have a board of directors I believe about
fifteen directors, including in that mister Josiah BRUNTI the he
was working on the Yes, and many many other awesome

(24:29):
individuals on our board. So we are just trying to
uplift the ecosystem and work together to uplift the small communities.
And I am it's my first time.

Speaker 5 (24:44):
Now we'll putting you on the spot now, all all
right now, so basically tell us from the beginning, how
did this why did you even start stronger together? Now?

Speaker 9 (24:53):
Sure, So.

Speaker 11 (24:55):
It was obviously during the time of Black Lives Matter
and a lot of the issues that were just going
on around in the community.

Speaker 4 (25:02):
And I played basketball.

Speaker 11 (25:05):
I still kind of played basketball, but initially I was
an overseas basketball player. So once COVID hit and a
lot of the things shut down in what country? The
last country that I was in was Mexico.

Speaker 5 (25:15):
It wasn't Russia.

Speaker 4 (25:17):
No Russia. Yeah, we know.

Speaker 5 (25:22):
That was a crazy situation when so I.

Speaker 11 (25:24):
Was over there and you know, came back and a
lot of the things were closed. I couldn't go to
other countries. I couldn't just get back into the trade
that I was in. So me and Janelle we would
go to protests, you know, we would go to things
in the community and just really try to figure out,
you know, ways that we could really help out, ways
that we could support. And we actually figured out that,

(25:47):
you know, these protests are dangerous, These protests aren't always
the best place.

Speaker 4 (25:51):
That you want to be to kind of convey a message.

Speaker 1 (25:53):
And so.

Speaker 11 (25:55):
I actually looked at it as like, you know what,
we probably should still try to say that message, but
try to do it safer so she was like, you
know what, well, why don't we make a nonprofit? So
I was like, okay, well that sounds like a good idea.
I didn't really know the ins and outs of the
nonprofit space, but it just seemed more sensible, you know,
to try to do that type of work and not really.

Speaker 4 (26:15):
In danger, you know, people that you're with.

Speaker 11 (26:18):
I've seen people get shot at protests. I've seen people
get arrested at protests and things of that nature. So yeah,
from there, we would just do simple events in the community.

Speaker 4 (26:27):
We did cookouts, we did giveaway Now I do watch them.

Speaker 5 (26:33):
I know I am a slacker. I cannot go to
every event. I I just can't. But I just see
and appreciate all their work. I mean, you guys kicked.
But and now that you're in Sammary, if you know,
and I'm not saying it was the only reason was
because it was in Revan.

Speaker 4 (26:51):
But now that you are in Samon, you will be agreed.
You can agree that's cool.

Speaker 5 (26:55):
It's insani, you know, like definitely, my mama can come
and I'll come busy to mere events a lot easier for.

Speaker 11 (27:00):
Me now And full disclosure, you know, it wasn't that
we had a particular place from where we were going
to go initially, but at that time Redlands was open
more there.

Speaker 4 (27:12):
More, there are more things that you could do that
you know.

Speaker 5 (27:15):
Needs to realize that, right, And it's not just with that,
it's with business, it's with a lot of things.

Speaker 12 (27:19):
Right.

Speaker 4 (27:20):
So we were actually able to do events at their parks.

Speaker 11 (27:23):
They would actually have events to where they would give us,
you know, discounts or they would give us like support
in that type of space. They would actually give us
a discount in the park where say, if we wanted
to use ed Hill's Park, they would actually give us
a thing called an incn donation where they would give
us any service that we were using the park for free.

Speaker 4 (27:43):
So say if you wanted to use that park and
you wanted to use it and rent.

Speaker 11 (27:46):
It, you would have to pay for the water, you
would have to pay for the electricity, you'd have to
pay for the trash. So when we were doing exactly
so when we were doing things it's our nonprofit, they
would give us fourteen thousand dollars free in terms of
services through that in condonation. So us as a nonprofit,
you know, a budget a smaller entity, we couldn't afford that,

(28:08):
so that was what you know, was really beneficial for us.

Speaker 5 (28:12):
So you're saying that there needs.

Speaker 4 (28:13):
To be something.

Speaker 5 (28:14):
I do know that San Fernandino does wave the permit.

Speaker 7 (28:19):
Fees for some short depending.

Speaker 4 (28:21):
Yeah, it just depends, and I mean that, you know,
that's that's what I've seen, But.

Speaker 5 (28:24):
It should be for the kernels that are just starting
to you know, sprout and grow.

Speaker 11 (28:30):
Right for sure, like I've seen, at least in our
brief time here, that there are pushback, that there is pushback,
excuse me, and that things aren't as seamless. And I
understand that San Bernardino is way bigger city. Redlands is
a smaller city, so it is a little more difficult
to get these things going. But as you said, if

(28:51):
you can have those collaborative efforts, then things can kind
of work in tandem.

Speaker 4 (28:55):
But yeah, it was easy. We would go to a
city council.

Speaker 11 (28:57):
There's ten people at a city council meeting, you know,
in and Redlands excuse me, versus sember Diano. You might
have one hundred people, two hundred people and you're mad exactly.

Speaker 5 (29:12):
By the time they're mad.

Speaker 9 (29:15):
I have a question, do you think that a lot
of that has to do just with the inequality and
finances and Redlands.

Speaker 7 (29:26):
And taxes and the base for their whole tax base.

Speaker 5 (29:31):
Versus sand They have a bigger budget.

Speaker 7 (29:34):
Oh yeah, their budget is.

Speaker 5 (29:38):
More free bees.

Speaker 4 (29:39):
I mean, it's probably multifaceted and multi layer.

Speaker 9 (29:43):
You know.

Speaker 4 (29:43):
I'm certainly not going to say that I'm on that
end of that.

Speaker 5 (29:46):
But because you want to be able to go back
there and get some more, yeah, because that's awesome, you know,
and that should be copied.

Speaker 11 (29:54):
Well, not necessarily, And I mean your initial point was
I'm from Rialto.

Speaker 4 (29:59):
I didn't.

Speaker 11 (30:00):
I wasn't born in Rialto, but I grew up in
Rialito and San Bernardino's right next door. Well, you're in
our counties right next door. So I never had a
problem with San Bernardino. But to your point, the things
that we were doing in Redlands didn't really speak to
that community. They weren't things that they really needed. So
coming to San Bernardino, working in the schools, doing the

(30:21):
things that we're doing in our new space, those are
things that are needed here. And I think that people
just have to understand is that the area is huge,
but you have to go to where you think that
the services are best utilized and most needed. If you
live in Redlands but want to work in San Bernardinos,
that's totally fine, that's not an issue. But I think
people just have a kind of like a closed minded

(30:44):
mentality of I live in Redlands and I only want
to do things in Redlands or I live in Rialto,
I only only want to do things in Rialito, so
on and so forth. My focus is I'm going to
try to help any area in the Inland Empire that
I can, but certainly, if we can help San Bernardino,
it's going to reverberate and go to the other areas
because that's the hub.

Speaker 9 (31:03):
You know.

Speaker 11 (31:03):
San Bernardina is the middle, and that's why we call
the area of the pulse. You know, it's the pulse
of the area. If we can get the post or
get the heartbeat of the Inland Empire correct, then it's
going to go to all the other extremities of the area.

Speaker 5 (31:18):
What is your first major mission?

Speaker 11 (31:20):
My first major mission, I think we've I think we've
already hit it. You know, we did the soft opening.
But my first focus was really, like I said, getting
into the schools, you know, getting into the schools and
working with these young people on a day to day basis,
because I don't think that people really understand the struggles
that these young people go through from you know, trying

(31:43):
to get the proper education to get to school. You know,
we have a program that's called canvassing, And what canvassing
is is we actually work with the two continuation schools
so through that we actually go to their homes and
check on the kids. Because if you're a continuation school, especially,
you know, they receive money from kids coming to school, Like,

(32:04):
we're not gonna we're not going to mince it and
make it something that is not kids need to go
to schools for schools get paid. So we actually go
to this to the homes of the kids that miss
We've had kids where they'll miss one hundred days of
school because it's a continuation school. So when you're like, well,
how come these kids aren't getting the education that they need.
How come they're not getting the support that they need,

(32:24):
they're not going to school.

Speaker 5 (32:26):
So the business you're like, you're telling me is exactly
what doctor Hill used to have to do. She told
me that exact same store she would have to go
on her own to the to the kids, be like, hey,
you should come back to school, and eventually they would
come back to school.

Speaker 9 (32:42):
That's what you need to do a sure one of
the things that I did when I was in schools
and I started at devalle Ho and then I yeah,
we worked. I wrote it for San Andreas, I wrote
it for several other schools errow View.

Speaker 7 (32:57):
We would do positive My husband used to be a
principal at San Andreas CO and we started that whole
growing Hope program And so.

Speaker 9 (33:07):
I wrote grants through the state that were positive home
visits and we would go out into the neighborhoods and
meet with families, meet with parents, and I would tell
them pick any kid you want, right.

Speaker 7 (33:23):
It could be your worst, your best, I don't care.
And that's how we started it.

Speaker 9 (33:27):
And then we would invite them back to the school
to sit down and have a meal with the staff
and the people in the home, and we started breaking
down the barriers to build those relationships.

Speaker 7 (33:40):
To get kids in school.

Speaker 9 (33:42):
And then when my husband was principal at San Andreas
and we were able to work with ESRI.

Speaker 7 (33:50):
Right within a year, those kids.

Speaker 9 (33:53):
Were presenting in front of twenty six thousand people and
sixteen countries, the program that was developed and how well
they were doing as a continuation high school, they were chosen.
And then we came back and did growing Hope phenomenal
program right to get kids into something, to bring them

(34:17):
through the doors all levels of education, from severely handicapped
through regular education, but to tie them in and get
them coming every day. And that was it was starting
to become a school of choice. Okay, and and so
looking at and now they just got another award model

(34:38):
continuation high school.

Speaker 4 (34:40):
It has to be a school excellent.

Speaker 11 (34:44):
We were at San Andreas and Sierra and it's funny,
she said Delvilejo And yeah, you go to the you know,
you go to these home visits and it's essentially just
a wellness check. You know, if the parents are there, great,
if the kids are there great, And it's just letting
them know that we care about that, somebody actually cares, right.

Speaker 9 (35:03):
And it's that connection. It's huge, you know, knocking on
the doors. I could tell you stories about knocking on doors.

Speaker 7 (35:09):
And doing home visits. You know in uh when kids
would come back to school.

Speaker 9 (35:16):
You were at my house yesterday, absolutely right, and walking
up are you the popo?

Speaker 7 (35:22):
No, do I look like the popo?

Speaker 9 (35:25):
You know? And but that just that concept of once
you walk in their door or you're knocking on their door,
it's a whole different attitude because now they know you're
going to hold them accountable.

Speaker 4 (35:38):
No, you're holding them accountable.

Speaker 11 (35:41):
Obviously with this administration, a lot of the young people
and we've had questions to where people will ask like,
you know, are you guys ice, are you guys CPS?
Are you guys affiliated with you know, MIGRA if you will,
And it's like, no, you know, we're here to support
you guys. You know, if young person broke their leg
or something like that, okay, we can relay that information

(36:03):
to the staff, to that to the principles and things
of that nature. If the young person is, you know,
going to have a baby, maybe they don't want to
go to school, that's fine. If we can get those
resources to get them home schooling or just you know,
try to figure out some way that we can kind
of make that connection between school and student and families.

(36:24):
It's a big difference because they're overly concerned that, you know,
the school is going to dim them out, that the
system is going to dim them out, and they're going
to get in trouble.

Speaker 5 (36:33):
What's the most difficult part about getting a contract with
the Sarah, you know, unified school district.

Speaker 11 (36:39):
I would probably say just what types of services you offer.
I don't think that it's necessarily difficult. I think it's more,
like she said, the grant writing or the proposal portion
of it, and really getting it under a amount that
they can service, you.

Speaker 8 (36:56):
Know what I mean.

Speaker 11 (36:57):
Because let's say that you start at five million and
then you have someone that might do it at one
hundred thousand. That doesn't mean that the services are that
much different. It just means that the that the school
might budget that more, you know what I mean. So
what we're having, like I said, with the administration, is
a lot of these services that vendors provide are being

(37:18):
cut because the schools are saying, well, look, you know
we have to finance sports. You know, we have to
finance certain things that we can't lose them regardless. So okay,
if you're a vendor and you know you're come and
get at a price that we can afford, We'll take
that vendor versus you know, someone that might be offering more,

(37:38):
but it doesn't necessarily fit their budget. So that's what's difficult.
I would say more or less than San Bernardino versus
Redlands is the budget. Redlands has way more money, you know,
so they can stockpile those services into a school. So
when you're asking, it's what maybe ten to fifteen mile difference,
maybe less when you're at skiing. What's the difference with

(38:01):
a Redland student versus a San Bernardino student, It's really
the money that's in the city because as a Redland student,
you're going to get a wellness check, you're gonna get
you know, nutrition, you're going to get information and resources
around the clock. Certain schools in San Bernardino, like a
Quantis will probably get that regularly. You're not going to

(38:22):
get that at San Bernardino Royal Valley just because.

Speaker 4 (38:25):
Not that they don't try, No, they try, they try,
but it's it's a budget. It's literally, it's literally a
budget thing.

Speaker 11 (38:33):
So when you know, when we're going to the school
board meetings or when we're talking to potential schools on like,
you know, we have the wellness check, we have the
mentoring piece that we offer, we have all of these services.

Speaker 4 (38:44):
How much does it cost? It's really what they want
to hear have you have you.

Speaker 5 (38:48):
Been over have you did any work with charter schools yet?

Speaker 4 (38:52):
We haven't gone that route just yet.

Speaker 5 (38:54):
So I go over to like, I'll give you a
contact to pal over there and do that. Yeah, and
talked to mister Radden. He's a really nice guy and
he might have a way for you guys to fit
on because like, I'm all about this collaboration. That's why
we have to show to people together, right, and like
I could, I could see like because they're already working
with the San Unified School, is really right? I mean,

(39:16):
so it's just if you're if you're certified for one.

Speaker 11 (39:20):
You know you're gonna be you know, no, we have
absolutely we have a contract for five years, so we
can offer those services four or five years. It's just
like you said, it's a matter of the connection. It's
a matter of talking to those people and if you
will giving a pitch.

Speaker 5 (39:34):
You know, Mai or I he's good day, you know,
but he's he's like, dang, Cardinal.

Speaker 7 (39:42):
Well, you know, it's it's interesting that you say that. Right,
I'm going to tell you the bottom line.

Speaker 9 (39:47):
When I used to be in charge of after school programs, attendance,
was everything, and and I would do how many students
we had, how many students I scheduled into a class,
how many students showed up on a regular basis, And
by the end of the year, we were making one
hundred thousand dollars in our program to go back into

(40:07):
what the school needed.

Speaker 7 (40:08):
That was at double A hope.

Speaker 4 (40:09):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 9 (40:10):
And so when you start looking at it, and my
after school program was intensive reading and intensive math. So
you know, kids are beating their head against the wall
for how many hours a day and then turning around
and coming to beat their head for three more hours
at the end of the day. The difference was and
this is where I go back to what we.

Speaker 7 (40:32):
Did with Growing Hope in San Andreas.

Speaker 9 (40:35):
The difference was we made it fun, tied it into
pe and you know, building your physical stamina and your
endurance and what that does for you and learning and mentally.
And this is back in just so you know, like
early two thousand to two thousand and ten ish, and

(40:56):
I say that because we're not where we are, We
weren't then where we are now with mental health. May
is mental health month, by the way, it is with
mental health, you know the importance of our physical health
was being looked at but not understood in the same way.

Speaker 7 (41:15):
So I say that.

Speaker 9 (41:16):
Because any way that you can figure out how to
make it fun for those kids, oh yeah, and then
bring them back into it, it's gonna just support what
you do.

Speaker 4 (41:28):
No, I think it's that's an excellent point.

Speaker 11 (41:30):
I think it's important working in tandem with with the students,
with the staff, the principles, and just understanding your students,
you know, understanding the student population. And so sometimes when
we're going out and we're talking to students and we're
talking to staff, principles and things.

Speaker 4 (41:47):
Of that nature, they know their students. Yeah, so they'll
tell us, hey, you know, this lunch.

Speaker 11 (41:52):
Program is gonna work good, you know, or this isn't
gonna work this way, or that's gonna work that way.

Speaker 4 (41:57):
And so, like I said, full disclosure.

Speaker 11 (41:59):
Like we've had principles that saw what we had and
didn't really like it and they suggested another thing. You
have to be flexible, like I think, like I said,
people think that what they're doing is so cutting edge,
and they think that it's so you know, advanced. No,
Like one of the ladies was like, look, if you
do a lunch program.

Speaker 4 (42:19):
We'll take it.

Speaker 11 (42:20):
And so we made a lunch program and so it
took off because you know, kudos to the principal at
Devil Ahelms MAYNERD.

Speaker 4 (42:28):
She was like, this is going to work for our kids.
I know my kids.

Speaker 11 (42:31):
I know what's going to be best for them and
be beneficial. And when you have people that are leading,
you know, and kind of driving the ship, that can
be instrumental.

Speaker 4 (42:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (42:41):
Well, and I love that you say that because I
know miss Maynor well. I worked with her for years
and years and years, and she does an excellent job
of knowing the kids, knowing what drives them, understanding them,
understanding that community. Because of course it's not just the kids,
and so it's so important, you know, for those things,

(43:03):
and I'm just looking at how to make those things
happen for those kids so that they benefit.

Speaker 5 (43:08):
What what what are your favorite things that you hear
from your kids when they go to school? Like, what
do you like to hear them talk about?

Speaker 8 (43:16):
They like games, you know, they they like the freebies,
the little resource fairs they have.

Speaker 5 (43:24):
Just so so sometimes they come home and like the
shoes they get in the car. They talk about that. Yes,
what's another thing that when they get in the car,
what do the else do they talk about?

Speaker 8 (43:35):
Let's see, they talk about too many things like excites, sports.

Speaker 13 (43:44):
Yes, it's like look at.

Speaker 11 (43:52):
But I mean they like field trips. You know, field
trips is huge. Oh yes, field trips is like one
of the bigger things.

Speaker 5 (43:59):
And that's so field trips that is why I created
Paleo days and going to the schools because it couldn't
afford the dang transportation.

Speaker 11 (44:09):
With the funding funding funding for field trips is cut.
It's not it's not focused on as much, so they're
not going to museums.

Speaker 5 (44:21):
How we did it is they found businesses that would
support us within walking distance of the school. One of
them happened to be the seven Up Company down from Riley,
and we would go to the seven LP Company, get
a tour of the thing and they give us a
free seven up in there. You know, you know, but
I you know, I remember that to this day. And

(44:42):
it was all based off of good attendance. Attendance for
the month.

Speaker 4 (44:49):
So if you did one.

Speaker 5 (44:50):
Hundred pertence for the month and it went for six months,
you got to go on the field trip and walk
with all the kids to the seven up company.

Speaker 9 (45:00):
They're trying to tie a lot more back into attendance,
like you know, doing incentives, giving them whatever they're called
jaguar paws or dragon scales, like where they get the
pbis money for.

Speaker 7 (45:15):
Doing good grades, behaving well, any of that stuff.

Speaker 5 (45:19):
So maybe even a field trip, like where would you
take them, Like what would be a good field trip? Present?
Kind of like not present, but you earned it right well.

Speaker 9 (45:28):
And you'd be surprised because our kids have so many
food insecurities, like with Arrowhead United Way. A lot of
times I've had schools call me up and say, hey,
we need some incentives. So if we have candy or
you know.

Speaker 7 (45:43):
Food that has like jerky sticks, things like that, I'll
take them over there. And the kids love that stuffy.

Speaker 1 (45:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (45:53):
So if you're looking at like, you know, we don't
have what we used to have Robert for field trips,
I remember going to.

Speaker 5 (46:02):
The Natural historymus Eum in La a Spirit. See can't
j all these things? It's really taken away. That's why
I mentioned about the end home, Like that's how I
tried to portray my program, was like this is an
in school field trip, so I would bring all these
huge tubs and film up with sin and all kinds
of fossils. The kids would dig them and they would

(46:24):
go through the whole experience and have different rooms so
they weren't in the same room the whole day. They
got a trade every hour to a new room and
different things to do. And you know, I was a
hit and they stole it.

Speaker 11 (46:40):
And it's interesting. Maybe she can tie into it. But
it's huge to like have those corporations, you know what
I mean when you're asking, because the kids they go
to gold to Pizza all the time. It's right right
around the corner from Sierra. But we need these bigger
companies to come in and say, you know what Amazon,
so cow Edison, Amazon, State or Brothers. You know, if
you like them or not, if they're DEI or not,

(47:02):
you know, that's another story. But they need to do
their part. You know, you're you're you're putting all these
warehouses in the community. You're putting all these things near
our schools. You're putting all these things near where we live.
You know, it's messing up the air.

Speaker 5 (47:16):
Ye Amazon should be am state sale I mean absolute
sales tax, but they pay state.

Speaker 4 (47:22):
Our carbon is horrible in terms of like you know
the Inland we have the worst air quality in the area.

Speaker 11 (47:29):
Is that something that you know those businesses are interested
in or that they can get interesting?

Speaker 4 (47:34):
Because absolutely we need that.

Speaker 8 (47:35):
There is a whole industry of like energy conservation green
it's called green business, so just going green, you know,
with a lot of different stuff solar.

Speaker 5 (47:51):
So if they offered a program that was based off
going green, it might be a way into some of
those businesses.

Speaker 9 (48:01):
See, that would be amazing for whomever develops downtown one
to do lead development right, the green development. And I've
had that conversation many many times, but also looking at
how do we do those things within our community, right,
how do we bring that programming here so that our

(48:24):
kids can start to understand.

Speaker 7 (48:27):
I know this week I helped cahone set up a.

Speaker 9 (48:29):
Trade stay so instead of bringing in colleges, right, and
they did that at the beginning of the year. They're
bringing in different trade programs and workforce development and different
programs to be there and look at things like kids
that want to go work for Layuna, or want to
go work for iron workers, or want a summer job

(48:52):
through workforce development.

Speaker 7 (48:54):
You know, it's amazing stuff.

Speaker 8 (48:56):
It's just like going back to what Roberts said, you know,
regular college might not be a good fit for all
these kids growing up. They might want to go into
a trade, maybe at a motive welding, electrical.

Speaker 1 (49:09):
Be a Michanic making it right money man.

Speaker 8 (49:12):
So I did see that at the last resource I
took my daughter and my little son. There was a
lot of different opportunities options for the children. So and
also me being a mother to a young son that
wants to be an entrepreneur and a business owner in
HVAC heating and air conditioning, you know, so just trying

(49:35):
to introduce him to many skills as possible.

Speaker 5 (49:37):
And yeah, that's awesome. So if we want so, you're
you have another grand opening the Yeah, you've got the.

Speaker 11 (49:47):
Big you know, the Kupde graph you will. It's going
to be Sunday at the Post. And we didn't get
to talk about the Post, but I'll briefly talk about
the Post. The Post is our new space. It's twenty
four hundred square feet right off of Fourth Street, and
I want to say, e maybe it's.

Speaker 4 (50:05):
Right across the street from the movie theater.

Speaker 11 (50:07):
Okay, so it's right there, and it's just an opening
to let the community know that we're there. It's a
collaborative space. So if you know, you ever needed a
room to use, you needed a open.

Speaker 4 (50:19):
Space to use.

Speaker 11 (50:20):
If you want to do events, if you want to
do symposiums, anything to where most of the time, lots
of people can't find a space, you know, they can't
find a space that's affordable, they can't find a space
that speaks to them.

Speaker 4 (50:33):
So that's what we're trying to do.

Speaker 11 (50:34):
We're going to do similar events like we did in Redlands,
but bringing it to San Bernardino, but more under the
guise of like resources, you know, getting people haircuts, getting
people things for job fairs, getting people opportunities to be
in mobile showers or stuff like that. Bringing what San
Bernardino needs, what Redlands need. It isn't necessarily the same.
So it's again understanding your area and understanding the people

(50:57):
in the space.

Speaker 5 (50:58):
Our kids need to choose.

Speaker 4 (51:01):
A lot of talk to. We'll talk to sheiks, maybe
she can get us some shoes. Get some shoes you.

Speaker 5 (51:06):
Cool advance, like put shoes on all the kids in Samarandino.

Speaker 11 (51:12):
But like I said, it it starts with us, you know,
it starts with us in these rooms and us having
those conversations saying I want to.

Speaker 5 (51:19):
Say thank you. I've watched you guys progress you with
from nothing all the way to a spot in a
space in Sama Rendino. I appreciate that, and good job
you and Janelle, thank you.

affecting your dog at home. The research shows that dog
owners who stress about work related issues off the clock
have pets who are also showing signs of stress. For

their free time. Those owners were asked how stressed out
they thought their dogs were while tracking behaviors tied to
