Letter from the City ManagerConneCTing oUR CHiLDRen

Each child is unique, and all children share the need for nurturing and trustworthy adults for stability, security, for increasing autonomy, and for a sense of competence and self-worth. Children generally have a fresh approach to new experiences. Most children possess a sense of trust that the world and people in it are friendly and kind, and they tackle the world with enthusiasm and joy.

One of the goals of our Community Services programs is to provide an environment in which children are CONNECTED to programs which encourage enthusiasm. The Community Services Department seeks to CONNECT Colton by partnering with and promoting the ideals of the National Recreation and Park Association. These ideals include:

➧ Provide healthier food option choices

➧ Address physical activity policies for park and recreation programs

➧ Build and maintain parks and playgrounds that are safe and attractive for playing and in close proximity to residential areas

➧ Adopt community policing strategies that improve safety and security of children in streets and park use

➧ Develop policies to increase physical activity to at least 30 minutes before, during, and after school each day

➧ Collaborate with schools to implement a Safe Routes to School Program

➧ Encourage daycare and afterschool programs to utilize nutrition assistance programs

➧ Develop targeted media campaigns to promote access to available resources related to physical activity and healthy eating.

City of Colton - Community Services Department

Staff SpotlightWelcome to the Community Services Department "Staff Spotlight" where a different staff member is featured in each issue. These special staff members are recognized for their daily contributions to our department and for their commitment to the Colton Community.

Mary alice Romo has been with the City of Colton and our Early Childhood Education Division since 1989. She has been, and is, the mainstay and continuous staff in a Division that has been through its fair share of changes; from new Managers to numerous name changes, Mary alice has seen it all.

Mary alice started as an Aide in the classroom and then moved up the ranks up to an Assistant Site Director. The Division at the time was expanding and the office needed help. With her already established work ethic, team player attitude, and outgoing personality, she was offered the full-time position of Administrative Assistant in 1997. Mary alice has held the position since then, and her performance continues to be of high quality. She continues to perform well, is compassionate, fun to work with, a very good person, and the “glue” that keeps the Division together.

Mary alice grew up here in Colton, comes from a big family, enjoys the great outdoors, spending time with her family, and dogs! She is married and has one daughter.

What do each of the “Three R’s” mean?REDUCEConsuming and throwing away less can reduce the amount of trash sent to landfills. In order to reduce our nation’s waste stream, we must start locally – and that means you can make a difference! Refer to the cover article of this newsletter for tips on correctly sorting your recyclables; this will ensure that you are reducing your trash by correctly recycling valuable resources.

REUSEReusing items by repairing them, donating them to char-ity or selling them also reduces waste. Other ideas for reuse include using products more than once—either for the same purpose, or for a different purpose. Refill bottles and use empty jars as containers for leftover food. Even the simple change of using cloth napkins or towels instead of paper will make a dif-ference in our waste stream.

RECYCLERecycling turns materials that would otherwise become waste into valuable resources and generates many benefits. After collection, materials like glass, metal, plastics and paper are separated and processed into new materials or products. Some of the benefits of recycling include conserving natural resources, saving enery, creating jobs, and supplying valuable raw materi-als to different industries. In addition, new landfills won’t need to be built! Buying recycled products, or products packaged in recycled material, will not only support the principle behind the “Three R’s,” it will benefit our environment by using up fewer natural resources. Remember, REDUCE, REUSE and RECYCLE!

REDUCE PACKAGING

ENVIRONMENTALLYFRIENDLY RESOURCESTo aid in the recycling, reusing, and reducing efforts of our community, here are some convenient and effective resources for helping our environment:

Recycle/Reuse Greeting CardsDonate used greeting cards to St. Jude’s Ranch for Children. The children in the hospital trim the covers off greeting cards and precision glue them onto new backs to be sent to donors and used as a fundraiser for the children. For more information on dontating or purchasing cards call 877-977-7572. or visit www.stjudesranch.org/shop/recycled-card-program/.

Reduce Junk MailEliminate unwanted junk mail! To request that your address be removed from their lists call 212-768-7277 or visit www.dmachoice.org.

Recycle/Reuse PackagingDrop off extra packaging materials at local private mailing centers. Call the Plas-tic Loosefill Products Council at 800-828-2214 or visit www.loosefillpackaging.com to find the nearest drop-off location for plastic loose fill and keep this useful packaging in circulation.

Donate Items for ReuseFurniture, old toys, and clothing can be donated and put to good use by one of many local charitable organizations: American Cancer Society Discover Shops, 909-307-8900; Goodwill Industries, 909-885-3831; Salvation Army, 909-889-8182.

Now is the time to be attentive to reducing your waste… the holidays are near and we all know how our waist size seems to change, but let’s focus on waste reduction. Packaging contributes to at least one-third of the volume of America’s trash. Some packaging has valid uses; but much of it is completely frivolous and does not have any functional value.

Some items are packaged simply to draw the attention of the consumer to the product. The volume of this type of waste is extremely excessive. The Environ-mental Defense Fund notes that $1 of every $10 we spend on food, for example, pays for packaging. When evaluating which of several products to buy, a cost-conscious and environmentally careful shopper should therefore consider the product’s packaging before buying.

Avoid over-packaged, disposable, and non-reusable or non-recyclable products. By not purchasing these types of items, manufactur-ers will eventually get the message and modify their packaging as needed. Whenever possible, inform a retailer how a product’s packaging has affected your shopping decisions. Our community can lend a hand to send a less-packaging message to the greater public. Avoidance or reduction of waste is one of the most environmentally conscious practices we can take on to ensure a healthy environ-ment for today, and for tomorrow.

Q: I have some old furniture we cleaned out from our garage—it’s not in good enough condition to give it to a charity, how can I dispose of it?

A: Residents of Colton are entitled to three FREE Bulky Item Pickups during the year. To schedule this service, call Colton Disposal at 909-370-3377. Reservations are needed, and please be prepared when you call to list the items you wish to have picked up.

Q: Do my recyclable items need to be rinsed or washed out before I put them in the green container?

A: No—part of the convenience of the Recycle Colton program is that washing or rinsing recyclable materials is not required. Items should be completely empty, or “scraped clean” of food or liquid waste, have the lid removed, and then placed in your green recy-clable container.

Q: What should I do if one of my containers gets damaged?

A: If your container is damaged, con-tact our Customer Service Depart-ment at 909-370-3377. Damaged containers will be repaired or replaced at no charge, unless the damage is due to negligence or abuse.

Q: If I have questions about my trash service, where do I call?

A: For questions about your trash service or recycling, our Customer Service Representatives are avail-able Monday through Friday, from 7:00 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. and Saturday 8:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. 909-370-3377.
