County inspection at Fontana pallet yard uncovers multiple fire and safety hazards
By Staff
San Bernardino County CodeEnforcement, in coordination with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department and the Office of the Fire Marshal, conducted a joint inspection of a pallet yard in unincorporated Fontana, uncovering safety concerns.
What began as a routine site visit revealed multiple makeshift living enclosures constructed within the pallet yard. These unpermitted structures posed fire and safety hazards due to the presence of flammable materials and the instability of the units.
Authorities identified and safely vacated eight occupied enclosures. One individual was arrested in connection with the violations.
“CodeEnforcement played a key role in resolving ongoing issues at this property,” said Senior Code Enforcement Officer Moises Sanchez. “By working directly with the owner to ensure long-term compliance, we’ve helped reduce calls for service and eased the burden on law enforcement.”
The Office of the Fire Marshal issued a notice of violation citing fire code
infractions, while Code Enforcement issued citations for multiple property-related violations. County personnel collaborated to document the conditions, ensure public safety and initiate corrective actions.
Due to the severity of the violations, a follow-up inspection is scheduled for mid-December to ensure full compliance.
“This case highlights the importance of proactive, coordinated enforcement to protect both residents and first responders,” said Ignacio Nuñez, chief of San Bernardino County Code Enforcement. “When agencies work together, we can address unsafe conditions more effectively and prevent future hazards before they escalate.”

He is survived by his wife Rhonda, their two children Karrie and Nick and five grandchildren.

His eatery, Nicolino’s Italian Restaurant, has operated since 1985 in Cathedral City, with three generations of family members
preparing cuisine, including Nick, and was honored once by the Chamber of Commerce for “Restaurants of the Year” and “California Small Business of the Year.”
It was through the restaurant that Carnevale was able to give to local organizations, including the city’s Boys and Girls Club, the city’s Evening Rotary, High School programs and other community organizations.
In Carnevale’s own words regarding his approach to service, he said, “I pride myself on communicating, collaborating and working as a team with council, staff and residents to reach our shared goals. None of our accomplishments were done alone -- it was always a team effort.”

“Rose Byrne delivers a fearless and electrifying performance in ‘If I Had Legs I’d Kick You’,” festival chairman Nachhattar Singh Chandi said. “Her portrayal of Linda -- a mother unraveling under pressure -- grounds this bold, unsettling film with raw emotion which lingers long after the credits.”

Byrne won the Silver Bear for Best Lead Performance at the 2025 Berlin International Film Festival for the film, and also won best female lead performance from the Los
Film Critics Association.
The Australian actress has received two Golden Globe nominations and one Emmy nomination for her performance in the TV series “Damages,” and has starred in many films including “Bridesmaids,” “Insidious,” “Juliet Naked,” “Troy,” “`Peter Rabbit” and “Instant Family.” Previous recipients of the Breakthrough Performance Award include Mikey Madison, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Danielle Deadwyler, Mary J.
On Tuesday, festival officials announced that actress and singer Kate Hudson will receive the Icon Award at next month’s Film Awards for her performance in the upcoming film “Song Sung Blue.” The film awards will take place on Jan. 3, 2026 at the Convention Center, 277 N.

clerical error. Determining ill intent on the part of the borrower is key to proving fraud, and the experts said lenders have significant discretion in what loans they offer clients. (In this case, Trump used the same lender to buy the two Florida homes.)
But in recent months, the Trump administration has asserted that merely having two primary-residence mortgages is evidence of criminality.
Bill Pulte, the Federal Housing Finance Agency director who has led the charge, said earlier this year: “If somebody is claiming two primary residences, that is not appropriate, and we will refer it for criminal investigation.”
Trump hung up on a ProPublica reporter after being asked whether his Florida mortgages were similar to those of others he had accused of fraud.

In response to questions, a White House spokesperson told ProPublica: “President Trump’s two mortgages you are referencing are from the same lender. There was no defraudation. It is illogical to believe that the same lender would agree to defraud itself.”
The spokesperson added, “this is yet another desperate attempt by the Left wing media to disparage President Trump with false allegations,” and said, “President Trump has never, or will ever, break the law.”
The White House did not respond to questions about any other documents related to the transactions, such as loan applications, that could shed light on what Trump told the lender or if the lender made any exceptions for him.
At the time Trump bought the two Florida properties, he was dealing with the wreckage of high-profile failures at his casinos and hotels in the early 1990s. (He famously recounted seeing a panhandler on Fifth Avenue around this time and telling his companion: “You know, right now that man is worth $900 million more than I am.”) In December 1993, he married the model Marla Maples in an opulent ceremony at The Plaza Hotel. And in Florida, he was pushing local authorities to let him turn Mar-aLago, then a residence, into a private club.
Trump bought the two homes, which both sit on Woodbridge Road directly north of Mar-a-Lago, and got mortgages in quick succession in December 1993 and January 1994. The lender on both mortgages, one for $525,000 and one for $1,200,000, was Merrill
Each of the mortgage documents signed by Trump contain the standard occupancy requirement — that he must make the property his principal residence within 60 days and live there for at least a year, unless the lender agreed otherwise or there were extenuating circumstances.
But ProPublica could not find evidence Trump ever lived in either of the properties. Legal documents and federal election records from the period give his address as Trump Tower in Manhattan. (Trump would officially change his permanent residence to Florida only decades later, in 2019.) A Vanity Fair profile published in March 1994 describes Trump spending time in Manhattan and at Mar-a-Lago itself.
Trump’s real estate agent, who told the local press that the plan from the beginning was to rent out the two satellite homes, was quoted as saying, “Mr. Trump, in effect, is in a position to approve who his neighbors are.”
In the ensuing years, listings popped up in local newspapers advertising each of the homes for rent. At one point in 1997, the larger of the two homes, a 7-bedroom, 7-bathroom Mediterranean Revival mansion, was listed for $3,000 per day.
Even if Trump did violate the law with his two primary-residence mortgages in Florida, the loans have since been paid off and the mid-1990s is well outside the statute of limitations for mortgage fraud.
A spokesperson for Bank of America, which now owns Merrill Lynch, did not answer questions about the Trump mortgages.
“It’s highly unlikely we would have original documents for a 32-year-old transaction, but generally in private client mortgages the terms of the transactions are based on the overall relationship,” the spokesperson said in a statement, “and the
mortgages are not backed by or sold to any government sponsored entity.”
Trump’s two mortgages in Palm Beach bear similarities to the loans taken out by political rivals whom his administration has accused of fraud.
In October, federal prosecutors charged New York Attorney General Letitia James over her mortgage. James has been one of Trump’s top targets since she brought a fraud lawsuit against the president and his company in 2022.
A central claim in the case the Trump Justice Department brought against her is that she purchased a house in Virginia, pledging to her lender that it would serve as her second home, then proceeded to use it as an investment property and rent it out. “This misrepresentation allowed James to obtain favorable loan terms not available for investment properties,” according to the indictment.
Trump’s Florida mortgage agreements appear to have made a more significant misrepresentation, as he claimed those homes would be his primary residence, not his secondary home as James did, before proceeding to rent them out.
James has denied the allegations against her, and the case was dismissed last month over procedural issues, though the Justice Department has been trying to reindict her.
The circumstances around Trump’s mortgages are also similar to the case his administration has made against Lisa Cook, a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.
Trump declared he was firing Cook earlier this year over her mortgages, as he has sought to bend the traditionally independent agency to his will and force it to lower interest rates. Cook, who denied wrongdoing, has sued to block the termination and continues to serve on the Fed board as that legal fight continues.
In a letter to Cook, Trump specifically noted that she signed two primary residence mortgages within weeks of each other — just as records show he did in Florida.
“You signed one document attesting that a property in Michigan would be your primary residence for the next year. Two weeks later, you signed another document for a property in Georgia stating that it would be your primary residence for the next year,” Trump wrote. “It is inconceivable that you were not aware of your first commitment when making the second.” He called the loans potentially criminal and wrote, “at a minimum, the conduct at issue exhibits the sort of gross negligence in financial transactions that calls into question your competence and trustworthiness.”
The Trump administration has made similar fraud allegations against other political enemies, including Democrats Sen. Adam Schiff and Rep. Eric Swalwell, both of whom have denied wrongdoing.
In September, ProPublica reported that three of Trump’s Cabinet members have called multiple homes their primary residences in mortgage agreements. Bloomberg also reported that Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent did something similar. (The Cabinet members have all denied wrongdoing.)
Pulte, the Federal Housing Finance Agency head, has denied his investigations are politically motivated. “If it’s a Republican who’s committing mortgage fraud, we’re going to look at it,” he has said. “If it’s a Democrat, we’re going to look at it.”
Thus far, Pulte has not made any publicly known criminal referrals against Republicans. He did not respond to questions from ProPublica about Trump’s Florida mortgages.

Pomona College settles civil rights complaint over pro-Palestine protests
By City News Service
Pomona College will hire a civil rights coordinator, update its policies regarding student protests and other conduct rules, among other actions, to settle an antisemitism complaint stemming from pro- Palestinian protests that roiled the campus following the 2023 Hamas attack on Israel and the ensuing war in Gaza.
The reforms are part of the settlement to a Title VI Civil Rights Act complaint that had been filed with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights, according to the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law, which brought the suit along with Hillel International and the Anti- Defamation League.
“After October 7, (2023), Jewish and Israeli students and teachers across the country were forced to live in fear on their own campuses. But there were many, including those at Pomona, who exemplified strength and stood up to the bigotry and hatred that threatened them,” Kenneth L. Marcus, chairman of the
Brandeis Center, said in a statement.
Pro-Palestinian protesters staged rallies and actions on the Pomona College campus on multiple occasions last year, at one point occupying an administration building then setting up an encampment on the commencement stage, forcing the relocation of graduation ceremonies off campus.
Under the terms of the settlement, Pomona College’s nondiscrimination policy and related training will be evaluated by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition of antisemitism, according to Brandeis and ADL. The college also agreed to appoint a Title VI Coordinator responsible for overseeing its compliance with the law, and to implement meaningful policy updates governing student conduct, including rules for demonstrations.
“The action steps outlined in this settlement will address the blatant and egregious antisemitism faced by Pomona’s students,
therefore protecting students from facing similar treatment in the future, and we hope it encourages others to take legal action against those who violate our constitutional rights,” Marcus said.
The settlement, which was negotiated with the support of an Office for Civil Rights mediator, also requires the college to “re-engage as a full participant in Hillel International’s Campus Climate Initiative,” according to the Brandeis Center, and to establish an Advisory Council on Jewish Life and Antisemitism, which will include representation from the executive director of Claremont Hillel and Claremont Chabad.
In a statement posted online, Pomona College officials said the settlement fulfills two “core requirements.”
“First, it specifically addresses the most prevalent and growing forms of antisemitism, while also offering a framework that can help the college respond to other types of shared-ancestry discrimination, such as anti-
Palestinian racism,” according to the college. “Second, it reaffirms our shared commitment to free speech and open inquiry -- values that are foundational to the college’s mission.”
In a letter to the campus community, Pomona College President G. Gabrelle Starr wrote that the settlement “acts on our longstanding goal of ensuring every individual at Pomona feels they have full and equal access to collaborate, study, teach and create within our vibrant and diverse academic community, while also reaffirming our deeply held values of free speech (including the right to peaceful protest), academic freedom and open inquiry. ...
“Antisemitism has persisted for thousands of years, and this settlement is not a one-size-fits-all toolkit,” Starr wrote. “It’ll be up to our community to put it in place -- and to live it. We will work with the Executive Committee of the Faculty, Staff Council and ASPC to navigate the complexities and challenges together. I am grateful to their leadership in these times.
“As an institution of higher education, we respect disagreement and promote conversation, especially when it’s difficult. Our community is at its strongest when the multitude of perspectives, backgrounds and personalities we comprise can face polariz-
ing issues with constructive dialogue. Every one of us plays an important role in making that happen.”
The college established a website at https://www. pomona.edu/resolutionagreement to provide details of the resolution.
Adam Lehman, president and CEO of Hillel International, said in a statement, “Jewish students at Pomona deserve to feel secure and welcome on their campus, just like every other student.”
“This settlement shows what’s possible when institutions take responsibility and commit to meaningful reforms designed to ensure Jewish students can learn and thrive,” Lehman said.

Trump administration to restore library funding in CA, across US
By Suzanne Potter, Public News Service
Librarians are breathing a sigh of relief as the Trump administration is quietly restoring $160 million in funding for libraries across the U.S, including $15 million for the Golden State.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order in March to gut the Institute of Museum and Library Services, calling it unnecessary. But now a federal judge has declared that order unlawful.
Anthony Chow is president of the California Library Association and a professor and director of the School of Information at San Jose State University.
“I have heard a lot of excitement but also skepticism, because a lot of people have been laid off,” said Chow. “A lot of projects have
been dismantled. And so while we’re excited that the funds are returned, there is a little bit of skepticism in terms of whether it might be taken away again.”
While the funding already approved by Congress must be disbursed, any future funding is up in the air.
During his first term, Trump zeroed out funds for the Institute of Museum and Library Services every year, only to have them restored by Congress in the final budget.
Funding from the institute supports e-book collections, community impact grants, literacy programs, and workforce development.
Meanwhile, California’s 1,200 libraries are taking another $70 million hit after the Trump administration terminated the Digital Equity Grant program. Chow
said the program, created during the Biden administration, was designed to make sure no one is left behind in the modern era.
“The act was designed to ensure that everyone, regardless of income, language, age, or geography, could fully participate in the digital world,” said Chow. “Libraries were prepared to deliver much of this work through digital skills training, device lending, telehealth support, and essential online access.”
The California Library Association is asking Gov. Gavin Newsom to include $12.7 million in state funds for libraries in his January state budget proposal.
Support for this reporting was provided by the philanthropic foundation, Carnegie Corporation of New York.

San Bernardino County Fire recently hosted QwakeTechnologies at the training center to evaluate their C-THRU Navigator in live fire conditions as well as in cold smoke environments created using fog machines.
Thishands-free augmented reality (AR) system was engineered
to withstand the extreme heat, unpredictable environments and impacts of the fireground, making it the first wearable supercomputer built for these conditions.
The C-THRU Navigator features four vision modes, providing firefighters with clear visibility through smoke for faster searches
and enhanced situational awareness. Real-time video streaming from inside the structure gives incident command full visibility of interior operations. A built-in digital compass maintainsdirectional awareness, and in times of distress, a Mayday signal can be instantly activated to alert command. |

tions and pavement ratings.”
San Bernardino has about 557 miles of paved roadway that include “arterial, collector and local residential streets” that represent one of San Bernardino’s largest capital assets, playing a crucial role in enabling mobility, economic activity and public safety, officials said.
In 2024, the city approved a contract for the firm NCE to prepare a Pavement Management Program that evaluated the condition of streets. The program assessed pavement
conditions, identified maintenance and rehabilitation needs, developed five- and 10-year investment strategies that aim to “maximize the return on investment through lifecycle-based preservation,” according to the city.
Each street segment was rated to determine a rating based on the Pavement Condition Index’s scale of 0-100, with 100 reflecting excellent condition and 0 denoting failed pavement. San Bernardino’s overall street condition rated 51, or a
“fair” grade, according to the analysis. That rating is lower than the statewide average of 65.
The pavement study summarized conditions — streets that rated “good” at 65-100 totaled 32.4%, “fair: streets rating 40–64 totaled 31.9%, “poor” at 24–39 ratings were at 17.3% and “very poor/failed “ below a 25 score totaled 18.4%.
After hearing NCE’s presentation at the Dec. 3 meeting, the City Council voted to direct staff to incorporate the pavement findings
into the city’s Capital Improvement Plan. Staff also is evaluating and developing “sustainable funding strategies” that include possible bond financing, allocations from the city’s voterapproved Measure S sales tax and potential state and federal grants.
Staff is also working on a plan to prioritize available funds with the city’s street repair needs.

Perris Sheriff’s Station launches drone for first responder program
By Sta
The Riverside County Sheriff’s Office – Perris Station has launched a new Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) program, commonly known as Drone for First Responder (DFR), designed to provide realtime support to residents and deputies across the City of Perris. At the City Council
meeting on July 25, 2025, the Perris City Council unanimouslyapproved the two-year contract with Aerodome for the use of Drones as a First Responder (DFR).
The DFR program increases the Perris Sherriff’s Station’s ability to respond to calls by deploying a drone directly to
an incident scene, often arriving within minutes. This rapid response capability provides deputies with immediate situational awareness, allowing them to better locate and track suspects, monitor vehicles involved in crimes, assist in searches for missing persons, and enhance overall safety.

shelters across the country, as more families face financial hardship and housing changes that force them to surrender beloved pets,” BISSELL Pet Foundation founder Cathy Bissell said. “If you’re considering adding a pet to your family, adoption has so many benefits. Shelters have desirable pets of every size and age — many who have lived in homes, are house-trained, already spayed or neutered, vaccinated and ready to become part of your family — all for a fraction of the cost of buying from a
breeder or pet store.”
In May, the county Board of Supervisors approved a “no kill” policy, resolving that the county will make it an objective to preserve the lives of a minimum of 90% of all cats and dogs impounded at the county’s shelters. The policy entails greater emphasis on free or low-cost spay and neuter clinics, enhanced “return-to-owner” programs that unite lost pets with their loved ones, adoption campaigns with full fee waivers, expedited “trap- neuter-return-to-field”
programs that were inaugurated in March 2024 and pet fostering. The latter provides opportunities for Inland Empire residents to take a dog or cat home for set or open periods, without the obligation to adopt. Fostered pets receive free veterinary care from the county and can be returned to a shelter anytime.
The no-kill effort dovetails with a reformation initiated last year by the board, when one organization alleged that the county had the highest pet “kill rate” in the nation.
“The Drone for First Responder program is a major step forward in our efforts to protect the residents of Perris,” said Captain Kevin Lamb, Perris Station.
“This technology allows our deputies to make informed decisions, respond more efficiently, and keep our community safer.”
Each drone is operated
by deputies who are certified under the FAA Part 107 guidelines. The sheriff’s office emphasized that the drones are only deployed in direct response to calls for service, and are not used for proactive policing, routine patrol, or surveillance outside of active incidents.
Last year, the board hired Austin, Texas-based Outcomes for Pets LLC Principal Adviser Kristen Hassen to rectify problems within the agency, and last February the supervisors approved the Executive Office’s selection of Mary Martin to head the department following a nationwide executive recruitment drive. She took the helm at the end of March.
Information about shelters’ hours of operation and the current adoption campaign can be found at rcdas.org/adoptable-pets.
“Our priority is public safety and transparency,” said Lamb. “This tool allows us to bring vital resources to the scene faster than ever before, supporting both our deputies and the community during critical moments.”

Thanks to generous employees and partners, we
are embracing that service mentality to provide additional food and resources to help students and families served by our programs.”
The collaborative effort to extend nutritional support and additional resources to students, families, and school employees has led to:
Head Start locations.
- 2,000 food staple bags assembled by RCOE volunteers and distributed to students in November at alternative education, preschool, Head Start, and Migrant Head Start Program sites in Riverside and Imperial Counties.

NoCal man accused in 2004 killing of Hemet resident charged with murder
A43-year-old Northern Californiaman accused of gunning down a Hemet resident more than 20 years ago and leaving his body along a hiking path in the San Bernardino National Forest was charged Wednesday with first-degree murder and other offenses.
James Robert Landi of San Mateo was arrested Dec. 5 at his residence by detectives from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department’s Cold Case Unit.
Along with murder, Landi is charged with a special circumstance allegation of lying in wait and sentence-enhancing gun and great bodily injury allegations. He was slated to make
his initial court appearance Wednesday afternoon at the Southwest Justice Center in Murrieta. The defendant is being held in lieu of $1 million bail at the nearby Byrd Detention Center.
According to sheriff’s Sgt. Jarred Bishop, Landi killed 18-year-old Reynaldo Burts in March 2004.
Bishop said the young man’s remains were located by a hiker in the area of Southfork Trail and Highway 74 west of Mountain Center, prompting an immediate call to 911.

detectives spent several years on the case and identified Landi as a person of interest, but were unable to gather sufficient evidence to confirm he was the alleged perpetrator, according to Bishop.
The case went dormant until last August, when the Cold Case Unit reopened it and “identified additional investigative leads” that directly implicated the defendant, Bishop said.
No further details were disclosed, including a possible motive.
Bishop said detectives traveled to San Mateo, serving an arrest warrant on Landi at his home, where he was taken into custody without incident Friday
