Ann Mar tgan and San Manuel Lead the Charge in Exposing Diver se Communities to Public Safety Car eer s
By Manny Sandoval
In the world of public safety, where diversity is often lacking, Ann Martgan shines as a trailblazer for change As the EMS Operations Manager for the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians Fire Department, Martgan is not just one of the few women of color in a leadership position nationally, she is also a fervent advocate for fostering diversity in the emergency medical services (EMS) field
Only 30% of EMS professionals in the U S are women in the U S An even smaller number of EMS professionals identify as black Approximately 5% of EMTs and 3% of paramedics identify as black and from those percentages, there are only a handful of women of color in the nation who are leaders of EMS operations
Martgan's journey in public safety began 19 years ago, inspired by her experience as a teenager in an EMS explorers program "I fell in love with the ability to serve other folks and never looked back," she reflects Her passion was ignited during a car extraction exercise on a rainy day, where she realized her potential to make a difference "In that moment, I knew I wanted to help people forever," she says
Now, also a professor at her alma mater, Crafton Hills College, Martgan has developed career outreach programs to expose students to the profession She emphasizes the importance of early exposure to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and public safety industries to create a more inclusive future "The younger we can expose young people to this industry, the greater possibility they can see themselves in the seat," she asserts
Martgan is acutely aware of the underrepresentation of women and people of color in public safety "There are a lot of EMS managers, but only a few are female women of color," she notes She believes that having diverse perspectives is critical to understanding and overcoming the barriers that prevent greater diversity in the workforce
To address these challenges, Martgan has been instrumental in developing programs like the Allied Health and Medical Careers Day at Crafton Hills College Over the last decade, this initiative has seen over 1,000 women participate, empowering them to pursue careers in public safety She also highlights the importance of outreach days to show young women their potential in STEM and emergency services
Martgan's efforts are supported by the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians' commitment to volunteerism and philanthropy The enterprise’s Team Member Philanthropy Program encourages employees to volunteer (with pay) to support a cause or organization that is close to their heart, and successfully logged over 1,800 hours in 2022
The lack of diversity in public safety is a complex issue, deeply intertwined with challenges in education, training, and accessibility Martgan, who has been teaching at Crafton since 2007, strives to increase access and raise awareness for underrepresented communities
To this end, the EMT programs at Crafton have launched satellite programs in underserved areas, effectively bridging the gap and creating pathways for more diverse participation in the field

Free training courses are launching this January for caregivers in San Bernardino County These multi-week, competencybased training programs are offered at no cost to the county's In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) providers by the Center for Caregiver Advancement (CCA) through a grant from the California Workforce Development Board (CWDB) and High Road Training Partnership (HRTP)
Caregivers can enroll in one of three programs: IHSS Essentials, Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementia (ADRD), and Caregiver Resiliency / Emergency Preparedness The sessions will be offered in English and Spanish
The Essentials course will teach caregivers about medication safety, nutrition, assistance with activities of daily living, and communication skills Caregivers in the ADRD course will learn how to recognize signs of Alzheimer's, as well as how to manage symptoms such as hallucination, sundowning, and behavioral changes
The Caregiver Resiliency course will help caregivers with climate-related emergency preparedness and response and how to recover from post-disaster trauma
Henrene Barris, an IHSS provider in San Bernardino, is looking forward to the training "It is important for in-home caregivers to have training programs available so we can provide quality care CCA's curriculum is so detailed and relevant The multiweek format allows for more interaction, more time for learning, and more knowledge to be shared," says Barris, who helped shape the project as a member of the Advisory Committee
In addition to providing these three programs to San Bernardino's IHSS caregivers, CCA will conduct a randomized control trial in partnership with researchers affiliated with the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL) North America at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) This will be the first RCT on IHSS training Building on CCA's existing research, the study will lay the foundation for policy change that will recognize worker specializations, improve worker retention, create advancement within the home care workforce, and secure long-term funding for caregiver training
"We are excited to be a part of the first-ever randomized evaluation of training for IHSS

America's business elites have used immigration as a tool to avoid hiring Black Americans for the past two centuries
This pattern of discrimination has depressed African Americans' employment and wages -- and is a significant cause of persistent racial wealth gaps
The trend began before the Civil War
By the early 1800s, many Northern states had banned slavery and were home to substantial numbers of free Black workers But starting in the 1820s, northern employers increasingly sought cheaper white immigrant workers from Europe -- which stalled Black economic momentum
After the Civil War, former slaves began migrating to northern states to staff the factories of a rapidly industrializing nation This led to huge jumps in African American skills, incomes, and even business ownership
Southern plantations and businesses despaired of their dwindling source of cheap labor But by the 1880s, they were rescued by the grand political and eco-
providers We are looking forward to studying the impacts on the workforce of caregivers who receive the training as well as the individuals who are cared for by the caregivers The IHSS program and the innovative training provided by the Center for Caregiver Advancement represent promising models for other states around the country that are considering new programs to support in-home caregiving," says Matt Notowidigdo, Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and Co-Scientific Director of J-PAL North America
UC San Francisco will conduct an impact study on the Alzheimer's program CCA is the only organization within California utilizing an evidence-informed curriculum that has already been tested and delivered to thousands of IHSS providers in California
CCA links skill development with increased wages: Caregivers will be paid their hourly wages for their time in training Those who complete the program can earn between $700 and $1,400
The Center for Caregiver Advancement is the largest provider of training for caregivers in California and has trained more than 20,000 nursing home workers and in-home caregivers http://www advancecaregivers or g
nomic bargaining that resulted in the Ellis Island-era "Great Wave of Immigration " Each year over the next four decades, an average of nearly 600,000 immigrants flowed primarily into northern labor markets
That largely blocked the flow of Black workers from the South In fact, many former slaves and their families moved back to the lower-wage South after they were displaced by desperate immigrants willing to accept low wages and appalling working conditions
By 1910, about 90% of all African Americans were still laboring as farm workers and household servants in the South
Finally, in 1924, public pressure -- including from notable Black leaders of the day like A Philip Randolph and W E B Du Bois -- forced Congress to drastically reduce annual immigration
The ensuing tightness in northern labor markets created demand for underemployed, underpaid southern workers Some six million African Americans left the South during the Great Migration made possible by tighter labor markets
By the 1960s, the share of Black households that were considered middle class had expanded from two in 10 to seven in 10
But the economic boom didn't last Congress reopened mass migration in the 1960s, and -- just as before -- economic progress ceased for most Black Americans
In response, federal commissions in the 1970s called on Congress to reduce immigration, but lawmakers instead heeded the concerns of employer lobbies that expressed fears of "worker shortages "
Instead of viewing tight job markets as an opportunity to bring more Black Americans into the workforce and close racial wealth gaps, Congress chose to enable businesses to fill jobs with foreign workers
In the decades since, the U S government has offered lifetime work authorization to more than 30 million immigrants, not counting millions of foreign workers who have entered the country illegally
The United States doesn't have a worker shortage Approximately four in
10 working-age African Americans with only high school diplomas don't have jobs Many would jump at the chance to work, if recruited at fair wages and working conditions
For two centuries, the labor shortage myth has been used to justify immigration policies that disadvantage Black Americans
Today, the median household wealth of descendants of American slavery remains much less than that of recent immigrants -- and less than 15% that of the descendants of European immigrants and settlers
Given our history, claims of a "worker shortage" should put any racially sensitive American on high alert

Community News
On February 7, Colton Joint Unified School District (CJUSD) Superintendent Dr Frank Miranda presented an update on the new state-of-the-art Walter Zimmerman Elementary School project at the Bloomington Municipal Advisory Committee meeting
The project was made possible through months of negotiations between CJUSD and Howard Industrial Partners concerning the planned Bloomington Business Park project located between Jurupa Avenue and Santa Ana Avenue in Bloomington
“It’s been over 60 years since the last time a new elementary school was built in Bloomington, so we’re very excited about this project ” said Dr Miranda Subsequently, Dr Miranda detailed the process toward school board approval, emphasizing extensive community outreach, which has included a hands-on Design Symposium comprised of four meetings (three in-person, one online), as well as the
robust research and thought process behind the various project designs
Owen Chang, CJUSD’s director of facilities and energy management, then highlighted the incorporation of community feedback along with the data received from various studies to create a list of pros and cons for the different layouts
The presentation concluded with the forthcoming steps:
• Ongoing drafting and study of various designs tailored to meet the needs of Zimmerman students and parents as well as the Bloomington and CJUSD communities
• Analysis under the California Environmental Quality Act followed by Review/approval from various agencies
• The final stages encompass bidding and construction
The new school will incorporate cutting-edge technology,
advanced learning spaces and equipment, air filtration and soundproofing measures, and up-to-date security features
“We are excited to finally get a new school that the students and parents of Bloomington deserve,” said CJUSD Board President Frank A Ibarra “Empowering our youth and investing in our community with a new elementary school, after six decades, is a gift that will enhance our students’ education and build a stronger, thriving community ”
The project timeline is subject to resolution of outstanding litigation filed over the Bloomington Business Park following the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors' unanimous approval of the project in November 2022 It is hoped that the new school can be opened by August 2027

In groundbreaking citations, the Division of Occupational Safety and Health, or Cal/OSHA, cited Amazon five times including two serious violations for endangering workers in the high heat
Last summer, after weeks of scorching temperatures and poor safety protections, workers who are members of the Inland Empire Amazon Workers United (IEAWU) at the Amazon KSBD air hub in San Bernardino filed a complaint with the state agency Cal/OSHA immediately opened an investigation conducting multiple on-site inspections and interviews with workers
Cal/OSHA substantiated the majority of workers’ concerns, finding that outdoor workers did not have adequate access to drinking water or shade nor were supervisors and employees adequately trained to keep workers safe in the heat
“We saw that Amazon was more concerned with loading and unloading the planes as fast as possible than with our safety,” said Regina Hermann, who works on the ramp at the Amazon air hub “We work out on the tarmac without enough shade and sometimes without enough water Last summer was scary It got so hot and we did not always have enough water to drink or time to let our bodies cool down We sometimes had to crouch or stand under the planes for shade We knew we had to do something before someone was seriously injured ”
In the citation, Cal/OSHA investigators wrote: “The employer utilized the shadow under the Boeing 767-300 as shade in the ramp area for employees to take their preventable cooldown rest The employees only stand and are not able to rest and sit in a normal posture while under the aircraft for preventive
cool-down rest ”
Daily temperatures in San Bernardino are increasingly over 90 and even 100°F Last July the temperature reached as high as 106°F on July 25 Ramp workers at the San Bernardino air hub are regularly exposed to this extreme heat working outside on the tarmac, often in the blazing sun Inside the warehouse, workers also complained about hazardous conditions with poor air circulation and very strenuous physical workloads
The citations come after workers with IEAWU have repeatedly called for safe working conditions from Amazon during high heat Workers have organized multiple delegations to Amazon management to demand better protections for their safety, including shaded areas with seating for everyone working outside, consistent heat break practices, and the right to take preventative cool-down breaks as needed In 2021, IEAWU documented extremely high temperatures at KSBD and demanded better protections They won some improvements, including new break areas and fans in some indoor areas, but after seeing inconsistencies and dangerous conditions during the recent heat wave, workers are taking action again to protect themselves
“It takes a tremendous amount of courage to stand up to a company as large and as powerful as Amazon Workers in San Bernardino did that and they won,” said Tim Shadix, attorney and legal director of the Warehouse Worker Resource Center, which assisted the workers with the complaint “Their actions will have a positive impact on the health and safety of thousands more people, “On its own Amazon was failing to provide these basic protections for workers against the heat, but workers at the air hub used their power to hold this behemoth accountable ”

San Bernardino County Fire Department (SBCoFD) crews were stretched thin on February 24 as they responded to two structure fires that erupted within minutes of each other in the downtown area of San Bernardino The simultaneous fires, one residential and the other commercial, demanded a rapid and coordinated response to prevent further damage and ensure public safety
The first blaze was reported at 9:36 a m in the 200 block of East Olive Street "911 callers stated smoke and fire were emanating from a home," said Battalion Chief Mike Mcclintock, SBCoFD's Public Information Officer
Engine 221, already in the vicinity, arrived on the
scene within two minutes to find heavy smoke billowing from a single-story residence Firefighters quickly launched an attack, battling the flames and conducting a thorough search for any occupants
"Despite barred windows and heavy smoke conditions, our crews were able to knock the fire down rapidly, thanks to their swift response," Mcclintock added The fire was successfully contained, with no victims found inside the home A total of four engines, a truck company, a medic squad, a fire investigator, and a battalion chief responded to the scene
Shortly thereafter, at 9:39 a m , another call dispatched crews to the 300 block of West 4th Street, where a commercial building was reported ablaze Firefighters arrived to find smoke emerging from a 20,000
square-foot, three-story commercial structure
They quickly entered the smoke-filled building, working to locate and extinguish the fire, which was confined to the first floor within 15 minutes of their arrival "Two occupants were discovered inside the vacant building and were safely evacuated," Mcclintock reported The response to this fire involved six engines, two truck companies, a medic squad, a fire investigator, and a battalion chief
Fortunately, no injuries were reported in either incident Although the fires occurred close to each other, they appear to be unrelated The cause and origin of each fire are currently under investigation by SBCoFD investigators To maintain uninterrupted fire and EMS coverage for the area, multiple "move-up" engines were dispatched to cover the vacant fire stations
