How abortion’s legal landscape post-Roe is causing fear and confusion
By Nicole Lewis and Aala Abdullahi, The Marshall Project via Stacker
Foryearsbeforethe Supreme Court upended Roev.Wade,the landmark precedent protecting abortion access, a network of conservative Christians was slowly and methodically stacking the courts through political means. “What Trump and his Republican allies had done was to change the country by leveraging political force to conquer the courts,” Elizabeth Dias and Lisa Lerer wrote in their recent recounting of the network’s maneuvering for The New York Times Magazine.
“Their policy arms churned out legal arguments and medical studies. Their lawyers argued their cases, and their judges ruled on them,” Dias and Lerer explained.
This strategy helps to decode the ever-changing post-Roe legal landscape. With Roe out of the way, and with many courts stacked in their favor, conservative state legislatures have continued to pass increasingly restrictive and punitive abortion laws.
At least 14 states have banned abortion with limited exceptions since the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision ended Roe in 2022. Another seven states have banned the procedure before 18 weeks, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a research organization that advocates for reproductive rights, including abortion.
Nearly two years after Dobbs, the legality of abortion in the United States is still being debated in court.
A total of 40 cases have challenged abortion bans in 23 states as of January, according to the think tank Brennan Center for Justice
The Marshall Project has been tracking the ripple effects of these laws
and lawsuits, particularly in Southern states in which most pregnancy-related prosecutions are concentrated. We wanted to understand how reproductive rights lawyers, advocacy groups, abortion providers and their patients are responding to this new legal reality and what new risks they face. Over the course of several weeks, we heard from seven organizations in Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina and South Carolina.
The end of Roe ushered in a climate of fear and confusion, many of the organizations told us. New laws and novel prosecutorial tactics have raised critical questions about free speech, interstate travel, telemedicine and more. All while the reproductive rights legal community has scrambled to keep up.
Here are other important takeaways:
Abortion laws are a free-speech issue
A set of lawsuits in Alabama, where abortion is
banned, illustrates the new dynamics.StateAttorney GeneralSteveMarshall threatenedtoprosecute anyone helping residents get an out-of-state abortion. The threat extends to organizations, such as Yellowhammer Fund, that provide information about where to go and what to consider when seeking an abortion in a state where the procedure is legal.
Yellowhammer Fund and another organization filed suit, questioning the constitutionality of the state ban. Such prosecutions would violate Alabamians’ right to free speech, they argued.
Marshall “has threatened to criminalize in a way calculated to chill the speech, expressive conduct, and association of helpers, and to isolate pregnant people — a known tactic of abusers — to make it more difficult for them to travel
and access needed medical care,” lawyers for the case explained in their initial complaint.
Marshall moved to dismiss the lawsuit, arguing the state could prosecute people using its anti-conspiracy laws. But earlier this month a federal judge ruled the lawsuit can proceed.
Many of the reproductive rights organizations we spoke to across the South said they’ve also struggled with what information they can legally share. Most lawyers won’t give them guidance, one group told us, saying the laws are too untested and too risky.
Many new laws have little legal precedent
Many of the recent state laws take aim at people helping someone seeking an abortion or those looking to leave a state where abortion is illegal. Several states have focused on aid to minors.

The Riverside County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday a $5 million payment from the Inland Empire Health Plan to the Riverside University Health System to help fund construction of a facility in Mead Valley.
The $580 million, 18-acre Wellness Village campus located at Harvill and Placentia avenues is under construction following a June 12 groundbreaking ceremony.
“The agreement approved today underscores our dedication to creating a holistic recovery environment at the Wellness Village,” RUHS – Behavioral Health Director Dr. Matthew Chang said in a statement. “The initiative expands behavioral health services and provides Riverside County residents with essential resources and support systems in one place, ensuring comprehensive care and recovery. We’re grateful for this show of support.”
Slated for completion in 2026 or early 2027, the facility will feature a “crisis residential behavioral health center” for children under 13 and a children’s mental health urgent care, which are both firsts in Riverside County.
Other services expected to be available at the new medical campus include access to primary-care doctors, dental care, addiction disorder services, supportive housing and a pharmacy, plus “onsite respite for families whose
San Bernardino County to add treatment facility to reduce homelessness
By Joe Taglieri joet@beaconmedianews.com
To try to reduce homelessness, the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors approved plans Tuesday for a $51.4 million drug treatment facility in Victorville.
Supervisors voted 5-0 without discussion to expand the county’s available options for substance-use treatment as part of the effort to keep residents battling addiction from becoming unhoused. The funding, which is sourced from a state grant, will be used to build new facilities at the Comprehensive Treatment Campus at 13333 Palmdale Road in Victorville, according to county documents.
In January 2023 the county bought nine single-story buildings, totaling about 17,770 square feet, on a nearly-30 acre lot to house the new medical campus.
The facility will add 18 adult withdrawal management beds, 36 adult substance use disorder residential treatment beds, an adult outpatient clinic, a youth campus with a 14-bed Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility for adolescents, a 16-bed adolescent substance use disorder residential treatment facility, a youth and adolescent outpa-

Take, for example, a soon-to-be-enacted law in Tennessee that would punish adults for taking minors across state lines to end a pregnancy. A law in Idaho that did the same has been temporarily put on hold by a federal court. These laws are copycats of Texas’ S.B. 8, which allows anyone to sue people aiding or abetting an abortion.
In her ruling blocking the Idaho law from taking effect, U.S. District Magistrate Debora K. Grasham wrote that the case was about much more than abortion. “Namely, longstanding and well recognized fundamental rights of freedom of speech, expression, due process, and parental rights,” she wrote. “These are not competing rights, nor are they at odds.”
Challenging these laws legally is complex because there is limited legal precedent. Last year, the Department of Justice sought to clarify the constitutionality of the travel bans. “The right to travel from one state to another is firmly embedded in the Supreme Court’s jurisprudence and the Constitution,” the department noted.
Reproductive care deserts set new legal chal-
lenges
Even before the Dobbs decision, labor and delivery wards in rural hospitals were shutting down, citing costs and financial uncertainty. By 2020, half of rural community hospitals stopped providing obstetrics care, according to the American Hospital Association. About 60 million, or 1 in 5, Americans live in rural areas.
Adding to the strain, rural hospitals are also experiencing a “brain drain.” Some doctors, wary of restrictive abortion laws, are leaving in droves. That has created maternity care deserts — where access to reproductive health care, including abortions, is nearly impossible. Women in these regions often have to travel hundreds of miles to find care, if they can afford to do so at all.
For people in states with abortion restrictions, and where health care is scarce, access to telehealth medicine is also up for legal debate.
Abortion
In Ohio, the ACLU and Planned Parenthood are suing the state Department of Health because of laws that make it hard to get abortion medications using telehealth services. A court there previously recognized telehealth medication abortion services as a safe and effective option.
already facing limited health care, are hit hardest by these restrictions. This is even more true for lowincome women, who are six times more likely to have an abortion and twice as likely to lack health insurance compared to higher-income women, per a Guttmacher Institute study.
The sheer scale of confusion required new legal tactics
“So many people across the country had questions,” said Clara Spera, senior counsel at the National Women’s Law Center, where she helps lead the Abortion Access Legal Defense Fund. “What can I do? What can I not do? What’s different today than it was yesterday? There was just a real need to navigate the chaos.”
ban.
To solve this issue — and provide legal expertise to attorneys navigating the uncertainty — nonprofit legal organizations have banded together to form coalitions. One such example is the Abortion Defense Network, launched last year by several organizations, including the Lawyering Project, the ACLU and the National Women’s Law Center.
“The Abortion Defense Network leverages the resources and expertise of six leading reproductive rights organizations, and a number of very well respected nationwide law firms, to provide legal help, assistance and support to those who provide abortion care, those who help people obtain abortion care, or want to do one of those things,” Spera explained.
Now, the fight has grown bigger as the ACLU and Planned Parenthood challenge more Ohio laws, including those that prevent certain health care professionals, like nurse practitioners, from providing medication abortions.
Fireworks seized and destroyed in Lake Elsinore
By City News Service
Authorities seized approximately 150 pounds of fireworks during a July 4 operation in the Lake Elsinore area, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department said Sunday.
A Special Enforcement Team from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department’s Lake Elsinore station, in collaboration with the Hazardous Devices Team, conducted the operation Thursday, which resulted in 56 citations for possession of fireworks and one criminal violation for possession with intent to distribute fireworks, the department said.
All of the fireworks seized were destroyed.
“Throughout the operation, numerous individuals were contacted, cited, and educated about the dangers of lighting illegal fireworks in their communities,” Sgt. Jarrod Meissen said in a statement.
The case extends beyond Ohio; it shows how people in rural areas,
The laws are not only changing rapidly — so that legal guidance that is relevant today could be out-of-date only weeks later — but these laws often change locally. For example, in Texas last year, Lubbock County passed an ordinance that would bar pregnant people from driving through Lubbock County to get an abortion in another state. Meanwhile, the city council of neighboring Amarillo has yet to approve the travel

Tow truck slams into Elsinore home, requiring crews to rescue driver
By City News Service
Atow truck crashed into a house near a Lake Elsinore park Wednesday, damaging the structure and leaving the driver trapped until firefighters extricated him.
The accident was reported at 4:33 p.m. in the 29300 block of Breakwater Street, south of Grand Avenue, just across from McVicker Canyon Park, according to the Riverside County Fire Department.
The agency said multiple engine crews were sent to the location and discovered that the tow truck had plowed into the front of the single-story property. Crews found the driver uninjured but unable to get out of the vehicle, prompting them to initiate a cut-and-rescue operation.
The victim, whose identity was not disclosed, was extricated at 5:10 p.m., according to reports from the scene.
No one in the home was hurt. It was unclear whether anyone was inside when the
crash occurred.
The extent of damage to the house was not immediately known. There were no
gas leaks reported. Sheriff’s deputies were investigating what happened.

Weeks after LA fundraiser, Clooney calls on Biden to end reelection bid
ust weeks after co-hostingarecord-setting downtown Los Angeles fundraiser for Joe Biden’s reelection campaign, actor and major Democratic Party donor George Clooney said Wednesday the president needs to step aside amid concerns about his age and ability to run the country.
“I love Joe Biden,” Clooney wrote in an essay published Wednesday in The New York Times. “As a senator. As a vice president and as president. I consider him a friend, and I believe in him. Believe in his character. Believe in his morals. In the last four years, he’s won many of the battles he’s faced.
“But the one battle he cannot win is the fight against time. None of us can. It’s devastating to say it, but the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fund-raiser was not the Joe big F-ing deal Biden of 2010. He wasn’t even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate.”
On June 15, Clooney co-hosted a star-studded fundraiser for Biden at the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles. The Biden campaign said the event raised a record-setting $28 million. In addition to Clooney, actress Julia Roberts was on hand for the event, along with Jack Black, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Jason Bateman and Kathryn Hahn. Jimmy Kimmel moderated a discussion between Biden and former President Barack Obama.
Elected officials in attendance included Gov. Gavin Newsom, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, and Reps. Nanette Barragán, D-San Pedro; Tony Cárdenas, D-Pacoima, Robert Garcia, D-Long Beach, Ted Lieu, D-Torrance, Grace Napolitano, D-Norwalk, and Maxine Waters, D-Los Angeles.
There was no immediate reply to emails sent to the Biden-Harris campaign seeking a response to Clooney’s comments. But reporter Annie Karn, the New York Times’ congressional correspondent, cited an anonymous source familiar with the fundraiser’s planning who told her, “The president stayed for over three hours, while Clooney took a photo quickly and left.”
Barragán, who chairs the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, issued a statement Tuesday with Deputy Chair Adriano Espaillat, D-New York, which said “We stand with President Biden and Vice President Kamala
By City News Service
Questions about Biden’s stamina and presidential credentials have heightened following his woeful performance in a CNN debate against presumptive Republican candidate Donald Trump. Biden has worked in the days since the debate to reassure Democrats and voters about his commitment and ability to run the country.
Bass, a longtime Biden supporter, issued a brief statement Wednesday reiterating her backing of the president.
“I was on a call with the president and mayors from across the country last night,” Bass wrote on X. “I’m supporting our nominee, President Joe Biden.”
Newsom, whose name often surfaces as a potential presidential candidate, has continued to steadfastly support Biden. Newsom was in New Hampshire earlier this week on the Biden campaign trail, insisting that Biden “is going to be our nominee.”
According to The Hill, Newsom spoke to Biden’s campaign staff on a phone call this week, pumping up Biden’s reelection bid.
“Every single event we had, every single stop we had, we exceeded expectations in terms of the number of people that showed up,” Newsom said, according to The Hill. “They’re not giving into the cynicism. They’re not giving into the fear. They’re not giving into the anxiety. They’re showing up because they care. They care about the work you’re doing. They care about this president.”
Clooney wrote in his essay that he remains unconvinced about Biden’s stamina.
“Was he tired? Yes. A cold? Maybe. But our party leaders need to stop telling us that 51 million people didn’t see what we just saw.
We’re all so terrified by the prospect of a second Trump term that we’ve opted to ignore every warning sign.
The George Stephanopoulos interview only reinforced what we saw the week before. As Democrats, we collectively hold our breath or turn down the volume whenever we see the president, who we respect, walk off Air Force One or walk back to a mic to answer an unscripted question. ...
“This is about age. Nothing more. But also nothing that can be reversed. We are not going to win in November with this president. On top of that, we won’t win the House, and we’re going to lose the Senate. This isn’t only my opinion; this is the opinion of every senator and Congress member and governor that I’ve spoken with in private. Every single one, irrespective of what he or she is saying publicly.”
Clooney did not offer an opinion on who should replace Biden as the Democratic candidate, but said there should be a process for potential candidates to make a case for themselves.
“Let’s hear from Wes Moore and Kamala Harris and Gretchen Whitmer and Gavin Newsom and Andy Beshear and J.B. Pritzker and others,” Clooney wrote.
“Let’s agree that the candidates not attack one another but, in the short time we have, focus on what will make this country soar. Then we could go into the Democratic convention next month and figure it out.”
Actor Rob Reiner, another major Democratic Party supporter, called on Biden to step aside over the weekend. In response to Clooney’s essay, Reiner wrote on X, “My friend George Clooney has clearly expressed what many of us have been saying. We
love and respect Joe Bide. We acknowledge all he has done for our country. But Democracy is facing an existential threat. We need someone younger to fight back. Joe Biden must step aside.”
Another major figure in the party, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-California, appeared on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” program Wednesday, suggesting that Biden — despite his insistence about remaining in the race — could still reconsider.
“It’s up to the president to decide if he’s going to run,” she said. “We’re all encouraging him to make that decision because time is running short.”
Pelosi declined on the show to explicitly endorse Biden, but called on other congressional members to “hold off” on making public statements about the incumbent.
“Whatever you’re thinking, either tell somebody privately, but you don’t have to put that out on the table until we see how we go this week,” Pelosi said.
Another prominent Southland Democrat, Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn, told KNX News Wednesday morning she’s still behind Biden.
“I’m supporting him. I’m going to vote for him,” Hahn said. “I think Democrats should line up and say we’re voting for Joe Biden. Just like the Republicans are lining up and saying we’re voting for a convicted felon.
“I do think Joe Biden does need to own being old, and I think he needs to say, `We’re both old.’ President Trump and President Biden are both older, and there’s nothing wrong with that,” she said.
Biden is scheduled to attend a fundraiser in Laguna Beach on July 26.

'Composting' our emotions: How climate action cultivates well-being
By Elizabeth Hewitt for Reasons to be Cheerful.
Broadcast version by Suzanne
Potter
for California News Service reporting for the Solutions Journalism Network-Public News Service Collaboration
MarinelUbaldo freezes when she hears heavy rain or intense wind.
My brain just cannot function," says Ubaldo, a climate activist who is studying for her master's degree in environmental management at Duke University in North Carolina. "It triggers my trauma, and all the memories from the past just come rushing to me."
A decade ago, when Ubaldo was in her last year of high school, her village in the Philippines was hit by Super Typhoon Haiyan. The community on the Pacific-facing shore had experienced many typhoons. Through Ubaldo's childhood, prepping her family's oceanfront home for storms was a regular part of life. As Haiyan approached, Ubaldo expected the same storm routine. But this typhoon with winds that reached 195 mph was equivalent to a Category 5 hurricane - much stronger than the storms the community was used to.
From an evacuation center in the building where she'd attended day care, she watched the storm devastate the town. The gymnasium roof floated in the wind like paper, she recalls. A wave washed a baby from the mother's arms. Her family's home was destroyed. And in the days after, before outside aid reached them, she and other members of her community just tried to survive.
For Ubaldo, the storm didn't just leave her with traumatic memories. It also deepened her anxiety about the impacts of climate change, a feeling she says is common among her peers. "It's overwhelming that you don't know if you have a future," Ubaldo says. "You don't know if your family will still be there next month ... because our future is so unpredictable because of climate change."
As the Earth's climate alters, regions around the world are facing more intense storms, wildfires, floods, extreme heat, and other phenomena. Less visibly, the multilayered effects of the climate crisis have huge implications for mental health. In a number of surveys, people say climate change causes them stress, worry, or fear. And many, like Ubaldo, are already dealing with anxious feelings and trauma from its impacts today.
Decades of research on the effects of the changing climate have most often
focused on the environment. But in 2022, for the first time, an assessment report published by the United Nations' climate change science arm highlighted the impact of environmental changes on mental health and well-being. These impacts come with a significant price. Researchers estimate that mental health effects related to climate change will have a total societal cost of $23 billion in 2030, and rise to $245 billion by 2050. "Fundamentally we need to make sure the costs of climate change on mental health are accounted for, and the benefits of climate action to mental health are accounted for and responded to," says Emma Lawrance, who leads the Climate Cares Centre at the Institute of Global Health Innovation at Imperial College London. Climate change affects mental health in a range of ways, according to Lawrance, who is helping to lead a global research project, Connecting Climate Minds, that has involved more than 500 people across some 80 countries. Natural disasters can directly affect people's well-being, as can longerterm shifts like rising sea levels, changing weather patterns, coastal erosion and salinization. These phenomena can lead to loss of livelihoods, migration from home communities, food and water insecurity, and the deaths of loved ones, Lawrance explains. "Understandably, that can be a trauma and an ongoing stress that can lead to, sadly, more cases of anxiety, depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, substance misuse and even death by suicide," she says. Research is finding links between these climaterelated changes and people's mental well-being, particularly with extreme heat. A study found that for every one degree Celsius rise in monthly average temperature, suicide rates increased by 0.7 percent in U.S. counties and 2.1 percent in Mexican municipalities. The researchers estimate that by 2050, rising temperatures could lead to between 9,000 and 40,000 additional suicides in the two countries. High temperatures also may raise risks for people who already have mental health challenges. During a 2021 heat wave in British Columbia, eight percent of people who died had been diagnosed with schizophre-
nia, while only one percent of the province's general population had the condition.
There are physical effects of climate change, too, which in turn can have implications for mental well-being. During his career in cardiology, Bob Dewey saw more patients with chronic lung disease come into his office in New Hampshire in warm months when pollen counts were high. Over recent decades, climate change has resulted in longer pollen allergy seasons. These underlying health conditions are connected to mental wellbeing, says Dewey. "When you have trouble breathing it's very easy to panic," he says. "It's just an extremely scary thing to know that you're vulnerable to this kind of situation."
In general, environmental changes are compounding issues faced by people who are more vulnerable. "Climate change is essentially a risk multiplier," Lawrance says.
Meanwhile, stress and anxiety about the climateoften called eco-anxiety or climate distress - are taking a toll on some. In a study that surveyed 10,000 young people in 10 countries, 45 percent said that feelings about climate change "negatively affected their daily life and functioning." According to Google, English-language searches related to "climate anxiety" were 27 times higher in the first 10 months of 2023 compared with the same period six years earlier.
Distress about the environment and climate is not necessarily a mental health condition on its own, according to Lawrance. "But it can be an ongoing stressor that without support can worsen people's mental well-being, disrupt their sleep, disrupt their daily life."
Finn Does used to feel paralyzed by bad news about the climate crisis. The San Francisco Bay Area 18-yearold says he often read headlines and saw social media posts about environmental disasters and alarming studies. "I was caught in this whirlpool of all this news about climate change and the climate crisis," he says.
For Does, anxiety around climate change led to feelings of despair, guilt, grief, hopelessness and fear. Then one day, as wildfires blazed in California, the sky in the Bay Area turned orange. The scene was "apocalyptic," he
recalls. He describes that day as a wake-up call that spurred him to take action. "I was just thinking about, 'Wow, I have a whole life ahead of me,'" Does says. "If this is happening right now at such a young age, what's going to be happening to me 10, 20, 30, 40 years from now?"
Now a senior in high school, Does is co-chair of the Bay Area Youth Climate Summit, an environmental justice activism network. He's also involved in a project researching emotions related to climate change among young people across California. Through his research and conversations with other young people, his impression is that those who aren't involved in climate work seem to feel more isolated and pessimistic. Meanwhile, people who participate in climate action seem to feel a sense of community and connection. "They have an extreme amount of awareness about climate, which gives them a lot of fear and a lot of anxiety," Does says. "At the same time, they have way more optimism and way more hope than those folks that aren't involved in climate work."
Along those lines, taking part in collective action related to the climate may help relieve eco-anxiety, suggests a study led by the Yale School of Public Health published in 2022. Robert Feder, a retired psychiatrist and member of the Climate Psychiatry
Alliance and NH Healthcare Workers for Climate Action, says that for mental health professionals, treating ecoanxiety involves trying to help people strengthen their responses to stress. Alongside general tools for resilience - like eating well, exercising and mindfulness techniques - building up social connections is important, he says. Getting involved with climate work can help people find social supports and address stress linked to climate change. "Not just sitting and worrying about it and feeling distressed about it, but doing something about it is really the most helpful thing to deal with the anxiety that it causes," says Feder.
Experts say climate action can take many different forms. Some people might enjoy demonstrating in the streets, but others may find environmentally minded groups that suit their particular interests.
When the Rotary Club of Orléans, Ontario, launched a project in 2023 to work with high school students to plant 1,000 trees outside of Ottawa, part of the goal was to create an opportunity for young people to address feelings of ecoanxiety by engaging with the environment, according to Phil McNeely, who chairs the club's environmental sustainability committee. One rainy day in May 2023,
70 teenagers came out to plant trees on farmland. Based on this initiative, the club is now working with other local Rotary clubs to create the Ottawa Rotary Youth Forest, a reforestation project that will involve students from area schools in planting and caring for trees. "They'll get an outlet, I think, for their frustrations about climate change," says McNeely.
There are also groups that convene specifically with the aim of talking about emotions related to the climate crisis. Does, for instance, has led "climate cafes." These facilitated conversations create an opening for people to discuss their feelings about climate change's threats to the world, says Wendy Greenspun, a New York City-based psychologist and a member of the Climate Psychology Alliance North America, who leads climate cafe trainings. "People often feel quite isolated. It's not a topic that we often think of bringing up at a dinner party," Greenspun says. "So creating a space that's outside of our usual hustle and bustle and ways of being social in itself already provides something." For some people, group discussions may not be enough support - Greenspun and other psychologists also treat people who benefit from individual therapy. But for many, she says, the group

setting provides an avenue to air negative emotions. Through the process people begin to feel validated and less alone. "I call it composting our emotions," says Greenspun. "New feelings can start to emerge and grow, like a sense of excitement that 'maybe I can do something,' a sense of deep meaning and connection with others, a sense of solidarity, a sense of courage."
Approaches to help people, particularly young people, cope with climate distress are growing around the world. For instance, SustyVibes, an organization based in Nigeria, is creating online and in-person opportunities to discuss ecoanxiety among Africans. The Good Grief Network, based in the US, focuses on building resilience. The UK-based Resilience Project trains leaders of "resilience circles" where peers can support each other. The Climate Cares Centre, which Lawrance leads, launched a guided journal to help young people manage eco-anxiety and transform negative feelings into positive actions. But climate action doesn't completely address the mental health burden. Among young activists, there's a risk of burnout.
And while young people are increasingly discussing these climate-related emotions among themselves, there's also a need for older people to support young people experiencing eco-anxiety, Lawrance says. "We see a big need to equip teachers and parents and train medical professionals and mental health professionals so they're validating these experiences of distress," she says.
Meanwhile, many communities are already dealing with the effects of climate change - including on mental health.
In the Philippines, Ubaldo sees the influence it has on her peers, many of whom worry for the safety of themselves and their families and question whether they want to have children because of the changing environment. The Philippines is among the countries most vulnerable to climate change. In a survey of young people in 10 countries, Filipinos reported the highest levels of climate anxiety.
Reducing stigma around mental health and increasing access to services is important to support communities hurt by climate disasters, Ubaldo says. Incorporating mental health into disaster response could help people talk about their feelings and
Climate
move forward. "We have to ensure that these experiences are processed or addressed before we experience another super typhoon, because it really adds to our capacity if we know that what we are experiencing or what we are feeling is valid," she says.
Ubaldo is a registered social worker in the Philippines, and as a volunteer, she's worked with people who have experienced disasters. But she says there's a need for government support of such relief services and for more capacity to manage the mental health effects of a climate-related disaster. "I know that there is a great need from the conversations that I have with the community members whenever I'm doing a debriefing after a disaster," Ubaldo says.
Around the world, initiatives are working to build up mental health treatment services in regions that are particularly vulnerable to climate change. Rotary members in southeastern Australia, for example, helped start Trauma Recovery Network Australia to train health care professionals in rural areas so that communities are better positioned to counter possible mental
health harms of disasters. "For mental health, you need people there, and continuously," says Pam Brown, a psychologist and a member of the Rotary Club of Gisborne who led the creation of the network.
The initiative, which began in 2020, holds workshops in regions hit by wildfires. Often areas that are vulnerable to fires are also susceptible to other climate change impacts, like coastal erosion or weather changes that affect farming. In rural areas, mental health professionals may have fewer opportunities for trauma treatment training, and community members don't have easy access to local support, Brown explains.
After bushfires in 2019 and 2020, the Australian network began training groups of social workers, psychologists, counselors, and other mental health experts on how to treat people using a technique called eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. In the treatment, people bring up a traumatic memory while simultaneously engaging in "bilateral stimulation," something like shifting their eyes from one side to the other or tapping their hands in an alternating pattern. The approach
has been endorsed as a treatment for trauma by the World Health Organization, the American Psychological Association, and the Australian Psychological Society, among others. Studies find that the treatment reduces symptoms of PTSD and other distress among survivors of disasters including earthquakes, hurricanes and floods.
Meanwhile, the mental health reverberations of Australia's bushfires linger.
A survey of people affected by the fires 12 to 18 months later found high levels of distress, including anxiety and depression. Over 60 percent of the nearly 100 mental health professionals who participated in the Trauma Recovery Network Australia trainings have completed the requirements needed to join the national association for practitioners of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, and even more have used the treatment in their practice, Brown says. "It's helping therapists not feel so helpless," she says.
Supporting mental health in the face of climate change is not only about responding. Building psychological resilience can also be incorporated into
climate adaptation efforts, Lawrance says. Strengthening social connections and being prepared for climate events can buffer against mental health strains. "We know that when a disaster hits, the communities that have stronger social bonds tend to be the ones who are less affected psychologically and more able to respond practically than those that have weaker social ties," Lawrance says.
As the connection between mental health and climate comes into the spotlight, one of the challenges is understanding the full extent of this intersection. Data is hard to gather because there are so many ways that climate could intertwine with well-being. But research is growing, as are approaches to supporting mental health against climate change stressors. "There are these vicious cycles of compounding challenges, but it also means that there are compounding opportunities when we take action," Lawrance says. "There is a brighter future to be working toward that is better for the climate and also better for our minds." Elizabeth Hewitt wrote this article for Reasons to be Cheerful.
AnthonyJarretthas workedforPublic InterestResearch Centre, a Wales-based charity where he oversees finance, governance and IT, since 2009. He is also, despite his 30 years of experience, the lowest-paid member of staff.
That's because of PIRC's "socially just pay policy," designed to "recognize different needs and backgrounds." Every employee gets the same core salary, with additional "uplifts" available to those who have financial dependents or live in a city (since the COVID-19 pandemic, staff can work remotely). Even more unusually, PIRC offers uplifts to staff members who have experienced marginalization, discrimination or oppression — no requirement to explain specifics, they simply make the request. Money is also available to help cover housing or health care emergencies.
As Reasons to be Cheerful reports, PIRC is among a growing number of organizations challenging conventional ways of paying workers. Implementing such changes requires unusual levels of trust, patience and wholehearted commitment from all involved. But many of those calling for a more equal society see it as a no-brainer — and some mainstream employers may soon be following their lead. Reversed norms
For many years every worker at PIRC, which helps social, environmental and climate justice movements, got the same salary. But, as issues of racial, gender and other inequalities became more apparent, that flat structure no longer felt right.
The new policy, implemented in 2022, has "totally reversed" gender pay norms,
Needs-based salaries are upending workplace norms

Jarrett says. He's fine with that, as long as his pay doesn't decrease — in fact, it has gone up, as the charity has been gradually increasing core rates. He also gets a little extra because he has a young daughter.
PIRC did want to reward experience, but not if it caused significant age disparity. Under initial plans, Jarrett — as "a straight, white male," he notes, "I'm not marginalized in any way" — would have been the best-paid by far. "This was not what this was about," he says. That uplift has been reduced, for now, to just one percent a year, capped after five years.
PIRC's policy is based on one used for many years by another charity, Platform, but with simplifications. For example, rather than calculating a reduction for employees with inherited wealth, PIRC simply expects that they would decline any increments available. (The aim is to "uplift, not penalize.")
With just six staff currently, PIRC's policy hasn't been fully tested. It doesn't yet address disability justice, and other elements may be revisited in future, says Jarrett. In the meantime he faces one practical challenge when budgeting for a new position: a candidate's pay could end up, say, 30 percent higher for someone living in London, with children and facing marginalization. That complicates budget forecasts.
Overall the policy has been good for individuals, he says. It also sends a strong signal to potential employees, and it may have contributed to a more diverse workforce. A few years ago applicants tended to be middle-class
graduates. "That's definitely changed," Jarrett says. Now, more people with experience of marginalization are applying for jobs.
Happiness Greaterthan, a collective of around 20 independent facilitators, consultants, coaches and others, also has an unconventional approach to pay. At the end of a joint project, fees are not distributed solely on hours worked or value produced — even if looking beyond those felt "really uncomfortable" at first, says Francesca Pick, a Spain-based founding partner of Greaterthan.
Instead, they use the "Happy Money Story" method, adapted from an idea developed by the coach Charles Davies. First, each person shares reflections on the project and on their and others' contributions and needs. Then they go away and individually set out how they would split the money. Proposals are shared and discussed until the group agrees on one that makes everyone happy.
The whole process might take several meetings, or,
ways Employers often keep salary information confidential, paying one person more than another for the same job simply because they negotiate better. Pick argues that this favors people "who already have high self-worth," while those who see themselves as less worthy — "a signal that society gives to a lot of people," like women or ethnic minorities — lose out.
co-founder of UK-based RadHR, which helps organizations to implement "radical" HR processes and policies.
when people are more used to it, just 10 minutes. Factors considered might include personal needs, such as temporary upheavals at home, or individual experiences of the project — one may have found it energizing, while another found it draining. But it completely depends on the situation and those involved, says Pick, and a group could also decide to distribute fees in a more conventional way.
That flexibility is "really liberating," says Pick, who has been through at least 40 Happy Money Stories, making up her entire income, over the past two years. Another benefit: It's "a powerful tool" for a healthy team relationship — any tensions arising during the project are surfaced, and participants must consider everyone, not just themselves. Someone who tends to undervalue themselves might even be encouraged by co-workers to ask for more money.
Perhaps surprisingly, Pick says this payment model makes her feel more, not less, secure. It's a relief, she says, to know that "whatever happens, we will have a conversation, and we will figure out what's going to work. All I need to do is trust the capacity we built as a group. That's something no one can take away from us."
Pick acknowledges that a Happy Money Story is "pretty out there." It wouldn't work for salaried positions — although Greaterthan, whose work focuses on supporting other "purpose-driven" organizations, has helped one client to test it for allocating bonuses. What's important, she says, is not necessarily that everyone adopts a similar approach, but that workers can design a model that meets their needs.
Unlearning harmful
Berlin-based social entrepreneur Lisa Jaspers agrees. "The way we compensate now usually means that the people who are most privileged earn the most money," she says. That happens even among organizations that exist to tackle social problems.
To address this, Jaspers and four co-workers within the Unlearn Business Lab, a group that aims to "prototype a just economy that is regenerative, redistributive and collective," undertook a year-long experiment. Through this "compensation lab," they developed a framework that factors in an individual's privilege, the number of hours they can comfortably work (accounting for health issues or caring responsibilities, for example), wealth and other needs. The framework is now used for distributing pay for projects undertaken by Unlearn Business Lab.
For Jaspers it is a question of values — she finds it "really important" to know that she is not contributing to higher inequality. More pragmatically, pay that meets individuals' needs also means that Unlearn Business Lab can retain team members from less privileged backgrounds, whose insights, she notes, are "super-essential to what we do," and who may otherwise need to find more stable and lucrative work elsewhere.
Not so radical
Doing pay differently isn't confined to the fringes. In 2015, credit card processing company Gravity Payments set a $70,000 minimum salary for all 120 staff. Social media firm Buffer is among those to adopt transparent salaries. Other companies allow employees to set their own salaries. But many feel these efforts don't go far enough. Self-set salaries often come from a more libertarian worldview and can end up reinforcing existing inequality unless there's also "deeper work on power — who has what kinds of it, and who doesn't," says Liam Barrington-Bush,
Privilege or needs-based compensation may yet enter the mainstream. In the past couple of years, Pick says, "new pay" has emerged as a term that people are writing and talking about. Germany's New Pay Collective was formed in 2021 to bring together interested organizations and academics, and more recently a New Pay Community was formed in Switzerland. Significantly, one well-known German commercial company has recently approached Unlearn Business Lab and is considering elements of privilege-based compensation, says Jaspers. She will soon host a "compensation lab" for other interested organizations. Considering employee needs isn't actually controversial, Jarrett suggests. A business won't do well if staff are preoccupied by money worries. And few would disagree that raising children adds financial pressure. Many would argue childcare and health care support are a government's responsibility. New pay advocates agree — but point out that governments aren't providing it. As for paying certain demographic groups more than others?
"I don't see why not," Jarrett says. After all, employers "have been happy to pay men more than women for 50 years."
Still, discussing needs and privileges "is a hell of a can of worms," warns Barrington-Bush. Talking about pay "taps into our insecurities, our fears — whatever version of money scarcity or class position we grew up with." Even among groups pursuing non-hierarchy and transparency, he says, money is usually last to be tackled.
It's easier within smaller organizations, and when trust is already high. Even then, it takes care and patience. "You need to create an atmosphere where everybody feels safe to share certain things," says Jaspers. "You're opening a box that a lot of people, especially if privileged, don't want to open."

Actress Shelley Duvall dies at 75
By City News Service
Actress Shelley Duvall, who was a frequent collaboratorof director Robert Altman and who played the tormented wife of Jack Nicholson’s ax-wielding character in “The Shining,” died Thursday at 75.
Duvall died in Blanco, Texas, due to complications from diabetes, her partner Dan Gilroy told news outlets.
“My dear, sweet, wonderful life partner and friend left us,” Gilroy told The Hollywood Reporter. “Too much suffering lately, now she’s free. Fly away, beautiful Shelley.”
Duvall won the Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Actress for her work in Altman’s “3 Women,” a role that also earned her a BAFTA award nomination.
She had roles in Woody
Allen’s “Annie Hall” and “Popeye” — opposite Robin Williams — but is best known for her role in “The Shining,” directed by Stanley Kubrick and based on the Stephen King novel. Duvall played Wendy Torrance, the wife of Nicholson’s character Jack, who devolves into madness and tries to kill his wife and son while working as a winter caretaker at an exclusive Colorado hotel.
During the making of “The Shining,” Duvall was tested by the notoriously demanding Kubrick. Some of the scenes required more than 100 takes. The film’s baseball-bat sequence is in the Guinness Book of World Records for the most takes of a scene with dialogue, according to Variety. She worked with Altman
on several projects. She appeared in “Brewster McCloud” as her first screen role. She went on to appear in his films “McCabe & Mrs. Miller” and “Thieves Like Us” before starring as part of the ensemble cast of “Nashville” in 1975. Following her part in “Nashville,” Duvall was cast in Altman’s “Buffalo Bill and the Indians” then “3 Women” in 1977.
She was Olive Oyl in Altman’s “Popeye” in 1980, playing opposite Williams in the title role before landing the role in Kubrick’s “The Shining.”
She told The Hollywood Reporter years later about how difficult it was to make “The Shining.”
“After a while, your body rebels. It says: `Stop doing this to me. I don’t want to cry
every day.’ And sometimes just that thought alone would make me cry. To wake up on a Monday morning, so early, and realize that you had to cry all day because it was scheduled — I would just start crying. I’d be like, ‘Oh no, I can’t, I can’t.’ And yet I did it. I don’t know how I did it. Jack said that to me, too. He said, ‘I don’t know how you do it.’”
Among her other roles were Terry Gilliam’s “Time Bandits” and the comedy “Roxanne” with Steve Martin.
She largely abandoned Hollywood in the 1990s, opting to live in her native Texas, but returned to acting years later, appearing in the limited- release indie horror movie “The Forest Hills” in 2023.
She is survived by Gilroy, her partner and musician.
Former ‘Bob’s Burgers’ actor pleads guilty to role in Capitol Breach
By City News Service
An actor and comedian who voiced a character on “Bob’s Burgers” and had roles on “Better Call Saul” and “Mr. Show with Bob and David” pleaded guilty last week to federal charges connected to the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Jay Johnston, 55, of Los Angeles, pleaded guilty July 8 to one felony count of civil disorder, according to documents filed in federal court in the District of Columbia. Johnston’s sentencing was set for Oct. 7, when he will face up to five years behind bars.
According to prosecutors, Johnston was near the front of the mob illegally amassed in the West Plaza of the Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021.
After police officers in the area were forced to retreat, Johnston, along with others, pursued the police to the Lower West Terrace and into a tunnel that leads into the Capitol. At about 3:05 p.m., he entered the tunnel, documents state.
While inside the tunnel, Johnston was handed a stolen U.S. Capitol police riot shield by other rioters. He then participated with other rioters in a group push effort against the police in the tunnel, evidence showed.
Federal prosecutors said Johnston then walked back toward the entrance of the tunnel before turning around and again participating in another group push effort, during which the crowd called, “HEAVE! HO!” as it
pushed against the police. Johnston left the tunnel at 3:13 p.m. carrying another stolen U.S. Capitol Police riot shield, which he handed to another rioter as he exited the tunnel, according to prosecutors.
Johnston had voiced the character of pizzeria owner Jimmy Pesto Sr. in episodes of “Bob’s Burgers” during the Fox cartoon’s first 11 seasons. He was let go from the show in 2021 after it came to light that he’d participated in the Capitol riot, according to published reports.
Like all Capitol breach arrests, the case is being handled in the District of Columbia.
In the 42 months since Jan. 6, 2021, more than 1,450 individuals have
been charged in nearly all 50 states for crimes related to the breach of
the U.S. Capitol, including more than 500 individuals charged with assaulting or impeding law enforcement, a felony. The investigation remains ongoing.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

Firebirds release full 2024-25 schedule
Husband of day care owner accused of molesting children
By City News Service By City News Service
The Coachella Valley Firebirds announced their full schedule Thursday for the 2024-25 American Hockey League season.
Incoming Firebirds coach Derek Laxdal and his squad will face the Bakersfield Condors to open the season Oct. 11 at Acrisure Arena.
The Firebirds, the Seattle Kraken’s AHL affiliate, were 4-1-3 against the Condors, the Edmonton Oilers’ AHL affiliate, in the 2023-24 season, including a 1-1-2 record at Acrisure Arena.
This will be the second consecutive season the Firebirds will face Bakersfield in their home opener.
The Firebirds lost to the Condors, 3-2, in their 2023-24 opener.
The Firebirds’ first away
game will come against the San Diego Gulls on Oct. 18 in the Anaheim Ducks’ AHL affiliate’s home opener. The two teams will also meet on April 19, 2025, both teams’ last match of the 2024-25 campaign.
All nine divisional opponents are on the schedule, with multiple games against Abbotsford,Bakersfield, Calgary, Colorado, Henderson, Ontario, San Diego, San Jose and Tucson. The Firebirds will also play eight times outside of the Pacific Division, four games each against the Texas Stars and the Chicago Wolves.

In addition to the Firebirds’ showdowns, the AHL Board of Governors also

unanimously designated Acrisure Arena to host the 2025 AHL All-Star Classic, which will take place on Feb. 2-3.
“The arena has not only become a beacon for worldclass entertainment but also a catalyst for economic growth and job creation in our region,” said Scott White, President & CEO of Visit Greater Palm Springs, in a statement. “The success of our hometown hockey team ... has been a significant part of this achievement.”

tient treatment facility and a wellness center.
The funding source for the facility is the Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program, which California law established in 2021.
In May the board approved an agreement with Advocates for Human Potential Inc. to run the facility through June 30, 2027.
The San Bernardino County Behavioral Health and Project and Facilities Management departments are overseeing the project and will go back to the board for approval on project design and contractor bidding.
Apreliminary hearing was scheduled later this month for a 65-year-old Riverside man accused of sexually molesting three children at his wife’s day care center.
Antonio Robles Chavez was arrested last week following a Riverside Police Department investigation.
Chavez is charged with two counts of lewd acts on a child under 14 years old, as well as sentence-enhancing allegations of taking advantage of a position of trust and targeting vulnerable victims.
He pleaded not guilty during an arraignment Tuesday before Riverside County Superior Court Judge Gary Polk, who tentatively scheduled a preliminary hearing for July 19 at the Riverside Hall of Justice. The hearing would determine whether there’s sufficient evidence to bound the defendant over for trial.
Chavez is being held in lieu of $1 million bail at the Smith Correctional Facility in Banning.
According to Riverside police spokesman Officer Ryan Railsback, the department’s Sexual Assault-Child Abuse unit initiated an investigation on July 2 after
receiving reports that a girl at Chavez Family Daycare, owned and operated by the defendant’s wife, allegedly had been groped.
“Detectives contacted other families that utilize Chavez Family Daycare, located in the (18400 block) of Blue Sky Street,” Railsback said. “Through their efforts, they determined two other children had also been sexually abused by Chavez within the past three years while attending the day care, but never disclosed the crimes.”
None of the alleged victims’ identities were disclosed.
Chavez was taken into custody without incident on July 3.
The day care business has been licensed by the California Department of Social Services since 2010 and is based at the Chavez family home. Detectives have filed a complaint seeking suspension of operations, according to Railsback.
He said SACA investigators believe there may be other victims, and anyone with information was asked to contact the unit at 951-3537945.
The defendant has no documented prior felony convictions in Riverside County.
Felon charged with seriously beating girlfriend, engaging in standoff
Afelon accused of severely beating his girlfriend at her Lake Elsinore residence, then barricading himself inside of it, culminating in a standoff with sheriff’s deputies, was charged Tuesday with domestic violence and other offenses.
Raul Benjamin Salas, 41, of Ontario, was arrested Friday following the alleged confrontation with deputies.
Along with domestic violence, Salas is charged with assault resulting in great bodily injury.
He pleaded not guilty during an arraignment before Riverside County Superior Court Judge Jeff Zimel, who scheduled a felony settlement conference for July 18 at the Southwest Justice Center in Murrieta and ordered the defendant held in lieu of $2 million bail at the nearby Byrd Detention Center.
According to sheriff’s Sgt. Dan Flores, around 2 p.m. Thursday, Salas was involved in an unspecified dispute
with his girlfriend, whose identity was not disclosed, at her house in the 100 block of South Terra Cotta Road, near Broadway Street.
The defendant turned physical, inflicting “significant injuries during the assault,” Flores alleged.
Deputies were called to the location and discovered Salas had allegedly fled in the victim’s car, according to the sergeant. A search for the vehicle was unsuccessful.
Shortly after 6 a.m. Friday, Salas returned, and “he barricaded inside of the residence,”
Flores said. The victim was apparently away receiving medical attention.
Deputies went to the property, summoning SWAT personnel to surround it. The ensuing standoff lasted nearly two hours, before Salas ultimately surrendered peacefully, according to Flores. Court records show the defendant has documented prior convictions for possession of controlled substances, driving under the influence, evading a peace officer and check fraud.

Simulated mass shooting exercise planned at Diamond Stadium in Lake Elsinore
By City News Service
Law enforcement officials, firefighters and others will run through a mass casualty simulation involving an “active shooter” at Diamond Stadium in Lake Elsinore this week, testing first responders’ operational capabilities.
The exercise is planned from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Thursday within the stadium, located at 500 Diamond Drive.
Riverside County Sheriff’s Department deputies, federal law enforcement officers and
public safety personnel from surrounding agencies are slated to take part, according to sheriff’s Sgt. George Reyes. “This training event ... will involve role players designed to give law enforcement agencies realistic scenarios they may encounter when responding to an active shooter incident or a potential mass casualty event,” Reyes said. “The goal of this multi-agency exercise is to test emergency procedures and to practice the operational response of personnel
and agencies during an emergency event.”
Sheriff’s Capt. Sean Vickers said that while public safety officials “pray they never have to respond to these types of events ... it is absolutely necessary we train for these situations to ensure we are prepared should tragic events like this occur.”
The drill will not be open to the public.
Anyone with questions or concerns was asked to contact Reyes at 951-4862809.

Man
who ran into CHP officer fails to make court appearance, warrant issued
By City News Service
An unlicensed driver who backed into a California Highway Patrol motorcycle officer during a traffic stop in Riverside, injuring the lawman, failed to appear for his sentencing Wednesday, prompting a judge to issue a warrant for his arrest.
Prudencio Xajil Alvarado, 57, in April pleaded guilty to assault on a peace officer with a deadly weapon, DUI resulting in great bodily injury and being an unlicensed operator of a motor vehicle. The plea was directly to Riverside County Superior Court Judge Thomas Kelly, without input or objection from the District Attorney’s Office.
Alvarado was slated to be sentenced Wednesday morning, but when his case was called in Kelly’s courtroom at the Riverside Hall of Justice, the defendant was nowhere to be found, according to court officials.
The judge immediately revoked Alvarado’s bond and signed a bench warrant for his arrest.
According to CHP Officer Javier Navarro, about 9:30 a.m. on Oct. 18, 2022, the victim, identified only as a motor officer from the agency’s Riverside office, spotted the defendant’s Nissan Maxima on Indiana Avenue, just south of the
Riverside (91) Freeway, and observed an unspecified infraction, prompting the lawman to conduct an enforcement stop.
Alvarado complied, pulling over to the curb, and the motor unit stopped a short distance behind him, Navarro said.
“As the officer began to dismount his motorcycle to contact the driver, Alvarado placed the Nissan into reverse and accelerated toward the officer,” the CHP spokesman said. “The Nissan collided into the motorcycle, disabling
it and subsequently causing minor injuries to the officer.”
The lawman immediately arrested the defendant without further incident.
“Alvarado displayed objective signs and symptoms of alcohol intoxication,” Navarro said.
The officer was treated for his injuries but not hospitalized. The defendant was not hurt.
Alvarado had no documented prior felony or misdemeanor convictions in Riverside County. His whereabouts were unknown.
Fire strikes at former Harris Department Store in San Bernardino
By Staff
Firefighters last week extinguished an intense blaze amid scorching temperatures at the former Harris Department Store building in San Bernardino, city officials reported.
The afternoon fire on July 8 was reported at the vacant, heavily vandalized building on E Street between 2nd and Court streets. According to the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District, the bulk of the fire originated on the fourth floor in an area that was office space for the company.
“Pervasive vandalism contributed to difficulties in accessing areas of fire involvement,” according to a city statement. “As a final challenge, the concrete roof and masonry building construction created ovenlike conditions for crews
with temperatures on the fire floor ranging from 180 to several hundred degrees while the outside temperature hovered at the century mark.”
Several transients were located in the building and evacuated, officials said. There were no fatalities and no reported injuries. Two firefighters were treated at the scene, and two were transported to local hospitals with minor injuries.
The vacant department store has been boarded up and secured by San Bernardino Code Enforcement personnel, according to the city.
“San Bernardino’s building official has preliminarily issued a red tag due to health and safety concerns” and was on site after the fire to further inspect and
evaluate the extent of the damage, according to the city statement.
The Spain-based current owner of the building was notified of the incident, officials said. The city has been negotiating to buy the building, and the fire is not expected to affect the acquisition that is expected to be finalized this week.
“When the city assumes ownership of the building, it intends to take additional steps to secure the building, which will include extending the current security at the Mall site and parking structure to include the Harris Building, as well as fortifying the building using enhanced methods and materials,” the statement said.
Details on the cause of the fire were not released.
