MM is losing Godfreyd – aka Garth – Tuazon, a Web Developer student at Crafton Hills College, who has been assisting MM with posts and various other tasks this semester, which is ending shortly. Godfreyd has been doing a lot of behind-the-scenes work such as coding and posting visual images, that MM’s editor/publisher would not begin to know how to do.
Godfreyd has been learning on the job, so to speak, supervised by Crafton Hills professor, Edward J. Papp, who will be retiring this summer but will continue to supervise MM’s interns into next year. MM sincerely appreciates the work both men have done to help MM get the news out.
Godfreyd joins a list of former interns that began three years ago with Fall-semester students Troy Galle, Jamie Lehman and Aaliya Mariscal the first year, who also worked on the community garden brochure [Ed.’s note: see earlier issues for the beautiful one they produced]. Another student, Edith Stetka, also worked on the web page in Fall semester, and volunteered her time during the Spring semester. Last school year Zoe Lane, a philosophy major, assisted MM and was willing to assist in the summertime, as well, as she had time in between one-month classes. All were honors students, supervised by their Political Science professor, Steve Hellerman, who arranged for their assistance to MM; some were paid for their time.
All of the previous interns provided their personal knowledge and experience to help get the webpage set up, as well as other tasks to protect Mentone, says MM’s publisher and editor. Godfreyd, a hemodialysis technician who also works three days a week has been working long days during the pandemic, is transitioning to a new career in web development. He had several additional changes he wanted to make to the website but ran out of time and the new intern will take those over. His only “payment” is hours toward his grade for the year, which relieves Crafton Hills College from having to find grant money to pay interns, in order to interest them in working on MM, who wishes all of its former interns the very best and looks forward to the assistance of the new one coming on board. -mm

Garth congratulations and good luck!
Website is looking good…. thank you to all the student interns from Crafton Hills College and to Prof Steve for bringing the program to Mentone ( at the Beach of the Mill Creek) 🌊🏄🏻♂️
Thank you. Yes; it’s looking better and better with each new intern. To their credit, the first interns really weren’t web developers but went beyond what MM could do.
We aim to look like a real newspaper, although we’re not sure that our being an editor is such a good idea, sometimes, and wonder if other papers have such days.
