Bilingual commentary — COVID-19 Update for Feb. 11, 2022

by Community Contributor • February 11, 2022 • Comments Off

Meet DelaChone Short an Engineer with the Ventura County Fire Department!

“Black History Month means a lot to me but most importantly, it’s a time to reflect on the past in both appreciation and pride. It’s also a reminder to not take for granted the freedoms that I have today because they did not come without enormous struggle. I celebrate my culture by simply being proud to be a Black man in America and making sure not to forget those who gave up so much for me to live the life I live today.

This month is about legacy. It’s about paying respect to those trailblazers before us. It’s about using those stories of sacrifice as reason to make a difference today. It’s also about projecting the youth into a positive productive future. Black history isn’t solely in the past. Soon what we do today will be included in that history.

It makes a big impact when little kids the same race as myself, for minorities in general, see me in uniform. Knowing that just by seeing someone who looks like them drive a fire engine, can be all the motivation and reassurance that they too can do something like this might be one of the best rewards this career yields.”

Bilingual commentary — Governor Needs to be ‘Schooled’

by Community Contributor • February 11, 2022 • Comments Off

As if we didn’t already have enough controversy around masking mandates in California.

Several days ago, Governor Newsom, along with Los Angeles and San Francisco mayors Eric Garcetti and London Breed, respectively, attended the National Football Conference Championship Game at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. The problem that erupted shortly thereafter was the result of images of the governor appearing maskless at a mega-indoor event. These are precisely the types of gatherings that public health officials seriously warn us about attending. The governor’s pretext was that he had “removed the mask for a brief period,” but that excuse was widely dismissed as insultingly disingenuous.

Bilingual report — Older Youth in Care Thrive with Support from Local Families & Mentors

by Community Contributor • January 26, 2022 • Comments Off

Elizabeth “Lizzy” Clews was 15 years old when, after multiple attempts to escape a toxic home life, she was placed in out-of-home care (formerly foster care). Without a stable home environment, Clews attended 13 different high schools leaving her feeling vastly disconnected. It was not until she was 17 and living in her second group home that Elizabeth met Damon, a mentor that completely changed the direction of her life. Now Elizabeth helps others in care.

“Just having that one solid person that I knew was always going to be there really motivated me and gave me a sense of confidence and just a feeling like I deserved to be loved,” said Clews. “It felt so good to have this person that I thought was successful also see that same potential in me at various stages of my life.”

Due to markedly increasing COVID-19 cases and the resulting strain on the local health care system, Ventura County Public Health is reminding residents to avoid visiting the emergency room unless they need emergency medical care. Local hospitals are experiencing an increase in COVID-19 hospitalizations, as well as critical staff shortages due to the coronavirus, and are preserving their resources for patients who are seriously ill.

Ventura County Health Officer Dr. Robert Levin would like to remind residents that they should not be visiting the emergency department solely to get a COVID-19 test or for health matters that could be resolved through their primary care physician. “Emergency room visits should be reserved for those patients who have are feeling severely ill – for example, those who are short of breath – or who have serious concerns about their health and who require immediate emergency care”, said Levin. Ventura County residents who are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, have mild illness or have not been exposed to someone who tested positive, should go to one of the many testing locations available in the county.
