San Bernardino County board bans homeless encampments

By Joe Taglieri joet@beaconmedianews.com

TheSanBernardino County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday took what officials called “an important step toward humanely eliminating homeless encampments” by prohibiting camping on flood channels and other potentially dangerous public properties.

With a 5-0 vote the board upheld its Aug. 19 approval of Ordinance No. 4494, which bans camping on county public property where people may be exposed to dangers such as flooding, wildfire, extreme cold, extreme heat, rail collisions and traffic accidents.

Officials said the ordinance seeks to protect people experiencing homelessness by transitioning them out of environments considered public health and safety risks.

“The number of encampments on county public property has increased over recent years,” Board of Supervisors Chairman and 3rd District Supervisor Dawn Rowe said in a statement. “These conditions threaten not only those living within the encampments, but also the broader community. The goal of this ordinance is to address critical health and safety risks, while also ensuring that people experiencing homelessness have access to the care and support they need.”

Officials said the ordinance aligns with Gov. Gavin Newsom’s executive order issued in July 2024 that urges local governments to enact policies that address homeless encampments and take action to humanely remove them.

“Passing this ordinance is an important step in our proactive approach to addressing homeless encampments,” Rowe said. “It also ensures that people experiencing homelessness have

access to the appropriate supportive services.”

With the legal backing in place, the county will prioritize flood channels and other areas that pose public health and safety dangers and “humanely relocate” people living in encampments while connecting them with housing and supportive services. Officials said county workers have consistently done homeless outreach, and such efforts will continue before to any encampment clearing occurs.

Peggy Lee Kennedy was among eight people who spoke against the ordinance during the public comments portion of the meeting. She told the board, “62.5% of the people in your point-intime count had zero income, that’s a huge number. So making it illegal for them to be outside and sleep outside is inhumane. We should be doing things to find solutions, real solutions.”

Fatima Baeza, who said

she does outreach work in San Bernardino and Redlands to assist people experiencing homelessness, also criticized the ordinance and county homelessness policy.

“From listening to them, the way houselessness is being handled is getting worse and it’s getting worse because of you,” Baeza told board members. “You, the people with the power to make a change, are choosing to pass ordinances like this that harm houseless people, that keep them on the streets or puts them in jail.

“Maybe you just don’t care about what happens to these people, as long as they’re out of sight from the public so we don’t have to be reminded about your failure to help the unhoused,” she added.

A county report noted

that the ordinance was developed with input from staff members from the Office of Homeless Services along with the departments of Community Development and Housing, Public Works and Land Use Services.

“These departments will continue working collaboratively to support encampment residents through coordinated entry, case management, transportation, and behavioral health services, ensuring that implementation of the ordinance prioritizes both human dignity and community well-being,” according to the report.

The ordinance takes effect 30 days from Sept. 9.

San Bernardino County reported a homeless population of 3,821 individuals following the 2025 Pointin-Time Count, a 10.2% decrease from 2024. A total of 2,620 people were unshel-

Students sue school district, state over transgender policy in sports

By Joe Taglieri joet@beaconmedianews.com

Three Jurupa Valley High School students filed a federal civil rights lawsuit Tuesday that seeks to end a policy at the local and state levels that allows boys identifying as transgender on girls sports teams.

Attorneys from Murrieta-based Advocates for Faith & Freedom filed the suit on behalf of plaintiffs Hadeel Hazameh and siblings Alyssa and Madison McPherson.

The lawsuit alleges the Jurupa Unified School District’s policy violates Title IX, a federal law that prohibits gender discrimination, and notes constitutional concerns based on the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause and First Amendment free speech issues.

The suit names JUSD, the California Department of Education and California Interscholastic Federation as defendants, alleging “school officials knowingly allowed a male athlete onto the girls’ volleyball and track teams, into the girls’ locker rooms, and ignored repeated reports of ‘butt tapping,’ sexual harassment, and unsafe conditions caused by the male athlete.”

Plaintiffs accused school administrators of retaliating against students-athletes “who spoke out, threatening suspension from school,” while accusing them “of failing to be ‘team members’ and removing athletes from team communications.”

AFF President and Chief Counsel Robert Tyler said in a statement, “Title IX was passed to stop sex discrimination against women, not to erase them from their own sports. Our daughters are being denied fair play and subjected to sexual harassment, all because California insists on putting radical gender ideology ahead of common sense and safety.”

JUSD spokeswoman Jaqueline Paul said district officials

Explore silver mining town during Calico Days

By Staff

Do you ever wonder how Calico miners lived and worked?

Join San Bernardino County Regional Parks and Calico Ghost Town for its 59th Annual Calico Days event held over the weekend of Sept. 27-28, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Calico Ghost Town that recreates the life and times of miners during the late 1800s.

The event focuses on the spirit of the Old West and features an 1880s costume contest, reenactment skits, pie-eating contest, miner’s triathlon competition, burro run competition, bucket brigade contest, live musical performances, egg toss competition, gunfights and more.

The miner’s triathlon and bucket brigade will be held on Saturday, Sept. 27 and the burro run will be held on Sunday, Sept. 28.

The triathlon for men and women competitions include rock pulling, muckraking and tug-of-war events. The burro race is a competition featuring contestants guiding their burro from station to station across town to be the first to reach the finish line. The bucket brigade is a race to see whose team can scoop and pass buckets of water to fill up the water barrel first.

Food options during the event include the Calico House Restaurant, Lil’s Saloon, and food vendors. Attendees can also visit Calico shops and attractions including Maggie Mine, Mystery Shack, Dorsey’s Gourmet Dog House shop and the Odessa Railroad train ride. Calico is petfriendly and leashed pets are welcome.

This family-friendly event celebrates the life and

culture of the 1880s, when Calico was a bustling silver mining town. The town thrived from 1881 until the late 1890s, when it began to see a steady decline in population as silver lost its value and residents started to leave.

At the height of its glory, the town’s population rose to about 1,200 people in 1887, and had about 22 saloons, a schoolhouse, post office, its own version of a China Town, a cemetery and its own newspaper. The town produced about $86 million in silver and about $45 million in borax, hauling its product by the infamous 21-mule team.

In 1966, Walter Knott, the founder of Knott’s Berry Farm, donated Calico to San Bernardino County, which is now managed by the Regional Parks Department. Admission is $10 for

SSouthland Dems condemn shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk

outhlanpolitical leadersroundlycondemnedWednesday’s fatal shooting of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk during a speech in Utah, saying political violence is never acceptable.

“No one deserves to be the target of gun violence, ever,” Rep. Judy Chu, D-Pasadena, wrote on X. “What happened to Charlie Kirk is appalling, unacceptable, and I condemn it in the strongest possible terms. I am thinking of his family and loved ones at this time. We must put a stop to rising political violence in this country.”

Kirk, 31, was speaking at an event attended by hundreds of people on the campus of Utah Valley University when a single shot rang out and Kirk appeared to fall backward in his chair on stage. The Associated Press, citing a law enforcement source, initially reported Wednesday afternoon that Kirk was in critical condition, but around 1:45 p.m., President Donald Trump said Kirk had died.

“The great, and even legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead,” Trump wrote on social media. “No one understood or had the heart of the youth in the United States of America better than Charlie. He was loved and admired by all, especially me, and no he is no longer with us. Melania and my sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Erika and family. Charlie, we love you!”

Campus officials initially said a suspect was taken into custody, but authorities later said the person initially detained was not believed to be the shooter, who remained at large.

political commentator and activist, and a close ally of President Donald Trump. He co-founded Turning Point USA, a nonprofit organization aimed at advancing conservative policies at high schools and universities.

Southland elected leaders -- largely all Democrats -- blasted the shooting.

“The attack on Charlie Kirk is horrific and disgusting,” Rep. Mike Levin, D-Dana Point, said. “Violence has no place in American politics. We can debate fiercely and disagree passionately, but we must always resolve our differences peacefully and with basic respect for one another.”

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass wrote on X, “I’m absolutely disgusted by today’s attack on Charlie Kirk. Political violence in all forms is unacceptable and reprehensible. We must all reject it.”

The shooting sparked panic in the crowd, which rapidly scattered.

Kirk was a conservative

Gov. Gavin Newsom, who once interviewed Kirk on an episode of his podcast, also condemned the shooting.

“The attack on Charlie

Kirk is disgusting, vile and reprehensible,” Newsom wrote. “In the United States of America, we must reject political violence in EVERY form.”

Rep. Nanette Barragán, D-Los Angeles, wrote, “Violence against one person for their views means we allow violence against anyone for their views. We cannot allow this.

Political violence CANNOT be condoned, regardless of your party or beliefs.”

Sen. Alex Padilla, D-California, said the nation was “founded on the freedom to disagree.”

“Political violence has no place in our democracy,” Padilla said. “The shooting of Charlie Kirk is reprehensible and sickening. I am praying for him and his family during this time.”

Rep. Jimmy Gomez, D-Los Angeles, wrote, “I may not agree with Charlie Kirk on politics, but I am deeply disturbed to hear about the shooting. Violence has no place in our democracy, no matter who it targets or

what views they hold. We can disagree passionately without resorting to harm.”

Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Burbank, said he was “horrified” by the shooting.

“The increasing degree of political violence in this country is a threat to everyone. And it must end,” Schiff said.

Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn called the shooting “horrific.”

“No matter how much we disagree with each other, you should be able to hold a rally without fearing for your life,” Hahn said. “Political violence cannot be tolerated in the United States.”

State Sen. Tony Strickland, R-Huntington Beach, said he was “deeply troubled” by the shooting.

“In politics, I have always said that we can disagree without being disagreeable,” he said. “We must maintain decorum and respect for opposing viewpoints. Acts of violence must never be tolerated -- regardless of political beliefs.”

CA works to guarantee access as mifepristone turns 25

By Suzanne Potter, Producer, Public News Service

The abortion medication mifepristone turns 25 this month but it is under constant fire in the courts and in multiple red state legislatures. The Food and Drug Administration recently announced a review of the medication. Last year, the U.S. Supreme

Court dismissed a lawsuit which would have revoked FDA approval and made the drug illegal nationwide. Now, the states of Florida and Texas are trying to revive the plan.

Ushma Upadhyay, professor in residence of reproductive sciences at the University of California-San Francisco, an

expert on telehealth abortion, said there is no merit to the suit.

“The science is clear. Mifepristone is safe and effective,” Upadhyay explained. “Mifepristone was first approved by the FDA 25 years ago. Its safety record has been demonstrated through real-world use and

in over 100 research publications.”

Anti-abortion groups often oppose its use on religious grounds. Texas now allows people to sue anyone who distributes abortion

The U.S. Department of Education has pulled funding for programs in eight states aimed at supporting students who have both hearing and vision loss, a move that could affect some of the country’s most vulnerable students.

The programs are considered vital in those states but represent only a little over $1 million a year in federal money. Nonetheless, they got caught in the Trump administration’s attacks on diversity, equity and inclusion, with an Education Department spokesperson citing concerns about “divisive concepts” and “fairness” in acknowledging the decision to withhold the funding.

The funding, which was expected to continue through September 2028, will stop at the end of the month, according to letters from the Education Department to local officials that were obtained by ProPublica. The government gave the programs seven days to ask officials to reconsider the decision.

The programs, part of a national network of organizations for every state, provide training and resources to help families and educators support students who are deaf and blind, a condition known as deafblindness that affects the ability to process both auditory and visual information. Those students often have significant communication challenges and need specialized services and schooling. (Education Week first reported that the department had canceled grants related to special education.)

Nationally, there are about 10,000 children and young adults, from infants to 21-year-olds, who are deaf-

blind and more than 1,000 in the eight affected states, according to the National Center on Deafblindness. The programs targeted by the Education Department are in Wisconsin, Oregon and Washington, as well as in New England, which is served by a consortium for Massachusetts, Maine, Connecticut, New Hampshire and Vermont.

“How low can you go?” said Maurice Belote, co-chair of the National DeafBlind Coalition, which advocates for legislation that supports deafblind children and young adults. “How can you do this to children?”

In Oregon, the 2023 grant application for the deafblind program there included a statement about its commitment to address “inequities, racism, bias” and the marginalization of disability groups. It also attached the strategic plan for Portland Public Schools, where the Oregon DeafBlind Project is headquartered, that mentioned the establishment of a Center for Black Student Excellence — which is unrelated to the deafblind project. The Education Department’s letter said that those initiatives were “in conflict with agency policy and priorities.”

The director of the Wisconsin Deafblind Technical Assistance Project received a similar letter from the Education Department that said its work was at odds with the federal government’s new focus on “merit.” The letter noted that the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, which oversees the project, had a policy of ensuring that women, minorities and disabled veterans would be included in the hiring

process.

The Education Department also was concerned about other words in the application, said Adrian Klenz, who works with deafblind adults in the state. He said he has talked with state officials about the discontinuation of the grant.

“I was told that apparently the administration is going through past grants and two words were flagged: One was transition and one was privilege,” Klenz said. “Transition — transitioning from childhood to adulthood. Privilege came up because a parent wrote a glowing review of staff that said what a privilege it was to work with them.”

ProPublica obtained a copy of the grant application and confirmed that those words were included.

In a statement, Education Department Press Secretary Savannah Newhouse told ProPublica that the administration “is no longer allowing taxpayer dollars to go out the door on autopilot — we are evaluating every federal grant to ensure they are in line with the Administra-

tion’s policy of prioritizing merit, fairness, and excellence in education.”

Newhouse said the Education Department renewed more than 500 special education grants that fund services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. She said the agency decided not to renew fewer than 35.

“Many of these use overt race preferences or perpetuate divisive concepts and stereotypes, which no student should be exposed to,” she said, adding that the funds will be put toward other programs.

The department started funding state-level programs to help deafblind students more than 40 years ago in response to the rubella epidemic in the late 1960s. While the population is small, it is among the most complex to serve; educators rely on the deafblindness programs for support and training.

Deafblind programs help educators learn the most effective ways to teach reading and connect families with state and local resources. The programs also tally the

number of students across the country who are affected by deafblindness.

Disability advocates, who promote inclusion for people in their communities with disabilities, said they are struggling to reconcile how they can now be under attack for language about inclusion.

What’s more, under Joe Biden, who was president when the grant applications were submitted, language about diversity and inclusion efforts was required.

The department at the time noted that “deafBlind children have complex needs and are among the most diverse groups of learners served” using federal specialeducation funds.

“We were required by the Biden administration to write a statement around equity,” said Lisa McConachie, of the Oregon DeafBlind Project, which serves 114 students in the state.

She said the Trump administration’s view of DEI is different from how inclusion is thought of by disability advocates. “Our passion and our mission is around advocacy for inclusion for kids with disabilities,” she said. “Students in special education are often marginalized in their schools. Students in special education are often excluded.”

Lanya Elsa, who lives in Washington and has two sons served by the state’s deafblind program, said the organization has provided strategies for her son’s educators over the years and has helped her connect with other families. She also is the former director of the Idaho program.

Elsa said that while the funding loss may seem small, “those vulnerable students have nothing else. It is

devastating.”

The Education Department notified Wisconsin on Sept. 5 that funding for its deafblind program as well as a separate federal grant to recruit special-education teachers was being discontinued. Officials there plan to appeal, according to the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.

About 170 deafblind students in Wisconsin are served by that grant, which funds assistive technology tools, coaching, family support and professional training across the state. And the recruitment of specialeducation teachers was begun to address a severe shortage.

“Make no mistake, losing these funds will directly impact our ability to serve some of our most vulnerable kids,” Wisconsin Superintendent of Public Instruction Jill Underly said in a written statement. “Losing these dollars at this point in the year will be devastating for the kids who need these supports the most.”

In Oregon, the impact will be felt soon. McConachie said about 20 families had signed up for a parent retreat next month to swap medical equipment, share resources and learn about services to help students when they get older.

“Gathering those families together is a lifeline for them,” she said. “These families are vulnerable and so are the kids.”

Without funding, the weekend will now be canceled. “The impact can’t be undone,” she said. “The disruption will be harmful for many years to come.”

The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, under the terms of said Deed of Trust, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is $1,945,330.96. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. 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.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY

OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 833-561-0243 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site WWW. SALES.BDFGROUP.COM for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 00000009485632. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder”, you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase.

Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

Cathedral City appoints Anne Ambrose as interim city manager

By City News Service

Cathedral City Assistant City Manager Anne Ambrose will become interim city manager effective Sept. 20.

She will take over for the retiring Charles McClendon.

“Anne has demonstrated exceptional leadership and comprehensive knowledge of our city’s operations over the past two and a half years,” Mayor Nancy Ross said in a statement. “Her experience and familiarity with our programs and projects make her the ideal choice to ensure continuity of service during this transition period.”

Ambrose has worked for more than 25 years in local government and was involved in the recovery efforts from tropical storm Hilary and in implementing the city’s five-year strategic plan. Her previous roles include interim city

manager for California City in Kern County, director of public safety and community relations and director of administrative services

for the city of Palmdale.

“I’m honored by the council’s confidence in my ability to serve Cathedral City in this expanded role,” Ambrose said.

McClendon will retire Sept. 19 after 11 years in the role. He started in 2014 and was responsible for spearheading the construction of the community amphitheater and Esperanza Park and is credited with strengthening the city’s finances.

He was presented with a key to the city Wednesday as a “symbol of gratitude,” city officials said.

During the recruitment process for a permanent city manager, Ambrose will serve as interim city manager and assistant city manager. City officials said the search process is expected to conclude within six months, by early 2026.

Homeless encampments

tered, a 14.2% decrease from the previous year. Sheltered homelessness totaled 1,201 county residents.

In March 2023 the board approved the $72 million Homeless Initiatives Spending Plan. Investments include: the establishment of the $40 million Housing Devel-

opment Grant Fund; $70 million for Pacific Village Campus Phase II, which upon completion will provide 58 units of permanent supportive housing, 32 recuperative care beds and 16 beds for substance abuse treatment; and the acquisition of two motels to convert into

50 units of permanent supportive housing for encampment residents and 130 beds of interim housing for homeless patients exiting Arrowhead Regional Medical Center.

More information on the county’s homelessness programs is at sbchp. sbcounty.gov.

Arrowhead Regional Medical Center offers mobile health care services

ArrowheadRegional MedicalCenter (ARMC)operates mobile medical clinics and mobile asthma clinics that provide a variety of services bringing health care and virtual consultations through telemedicine directly to community neighborhoods and remote areas of San Bernardino County.

Many San Bernardino County residents face multiple barriers to accessing health care services, including lack of insurance, lack of transportation and unemployment. These mobile clinics are one way that ARMC and San Bernardino County work to assist these residents with access to medical care, including:

Mobile medical clinic: This 40-foot clinic on wheels features two fully functional private exam rooms and a health consultation and education area.

cannot comment on pending litigation.

The lawsuit seeks a U.S. District Court injunction against implementing policies based on Assembly Bill 1266, which took effect a little more than a decade ago. According to the law, each student “shall be permitted to participate in sex-segregated school programs and activities, including athletic competitions, and use facilities

consistent with his or her gender identity, irrespective of the gender listed on the pupil’s records.”

AFF Senior Counsel

Julianne Fleischer asserted, “Girls’ sports are for girls. No policy can erase the biological differences between males and females, and forcing young women to compete against boys is both unfair and unsafe,” she said in a statement. “This case is about restoring dignity to women’s

sports and ensuring that the God-given distinctions between male and female are respected, not erased.”

Advocates for Faith & Freedom filed a similar federal lawsuit in November on behalf of two Riverside Unified School District students. Taylor Starling and Kaitlyn Slavin objected to transgender sports policies at Martin Luther King High School that allegedly conflict with

Services include health screenings and immunizations; lab testing; diabetes education and care; physicals, and treatment for acute and chronic illnesses; wellchild checkups and women’s services. At the mobile medical clinic, you can receive the same services as you would at a walk-in clinic.

Asthma clinic: This mobile unit travels to 40 different school sites throughout San Bernardino County, rotating to each site every six weeks. During

school hours the asthma clinic staff see patients that attend the school site as well as any child referred to them from the surrounding area. A complete evaluation, examination, care plan and extensive patient family education are completed at the time of the visit.

San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters participates in High School Voter Education Weeks

DBy Staff By Staff

uring High School Voter Education Weeks, Sept. 15–26, 2025, the San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters invites high schools students to partner with their school administration to host voter registration drives and highlight the importance of civic participation. Beyond registering or pre-registering to vote, it’s a chance to celebrate and inspire the next generation of voters.

To make participation simple and effective, the San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters created a comprehensive starter kit designed for both students and their parents or guardians. The kit includes:

- A step-by-step guide

- A voter registration drive checklist

- Pre-drafted social media posts and images

- A flyer and website graphics

- A letter to parents/caregivers in English and Spanish

The San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters encourages educators to engage in High School Voter Education Weeks in any way that works best for their school community, whether by hosting a voter registration drive, sharing pre-registration resources, or sparking conversations about civic responsibility.

For questions or additional support, contact the Outreach Team at the San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters at Communications@rov.sbcounty.gov.

Transgender sports

Title IX.

“Taylor was ousted from her position (as captain) on the varsity cross-country team to make room for a biological male transgender athlete, who did not consistently attend practices and failed to meet the team’s strict qualifying requirements,” according to the lawsuit’s court filing. “As a result, Taylor missed opportunities to compete at a high-profile meet, losing

valuable chances for college recruitment and recognition.”

Taylor and teammate Kaitlyn wore shirts last year that read, “Save Girls’ Sports” and “It’s Common Sense — XX (does not equal) XY.” Advocates for Faith & Freedom alleged MLK High staff “ordered the students to remove or conceal the shirts, claiming they created a ‘hostile’ environment, comparing wearing these shirts to wearing a swastika.”

In May 2024, the JUSD agreed to a $360,000 settlement with a teacher who sued the district over alleged religious viewpoint discrimination. Citing moral grounds, Jessica Tapia said faculty members had the right to inform parents of students’ gender identity decisions. Tapia was fired for violating the district’s nondisclosure policy.

San Bernardino County supervisors give initial approval to an anti-encampment ordinance Aug. 19.

IE ceremonies mark anniversary of Sept. 11 attacks

By City News Service and Staff

Citiesthroughout westernRiverside CountyThursday marked the 24th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks with flag ceremonies, patriotic reflections and other commemorative events.

In Corona, a remembrance service was slated for 5 a.m. Thursday in the Historic Civic Center at 815 W. Sixth St., where Corona Chamber of Commerce officials were joined by city representatives and others to pay homage to the 2,977 people killed as a result of the terrorist acts.

Over a roughly threehour period, attendees read the names of all those confirmed killed.

Moments of silence and bell rings were scheduled to mark the exact times when hijacked airliners struck the Twin Towers in New York and the Pentagon in Washington, and when a fourth crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

The service was expected to continue until about 10 a.m.

In Riverside, a “Day of Remembrance Ceremony” is set for 8:45 a.m. at the Veterans’ Plaza fronting City Hall, near the intersection of 10th and Main streets.

“City Councilman Jim

San

Perry, police Chief Larry Gonzalez and fire Chief Steve McKinster (will) offer reflections,” according to a city statement prior to the event. “The ceremony will conclude with a moment of silence.”

Around the same time Thursday, Mt. San Jacinto College hosted a “Hero Climb,” as part of a tribute to emergency personnel who responded to the World Trade Center. The event was inside the college’s stadium at the Menifee Valley satellite campus, 28237 La Piedra Road.

Bernardino County, Count the Kicks launch stillbirth prevention effort

By Staff

TheSanBernardino County Department of Public Health is partnering with Count the Kicks, an evidence-based stillbirth prevention program, to educate expectant parents about the importance of paying attention to their baby’s movements in the third trimester of pregnancy. Research shows nearly three in 10 stillbirths can be prevented when parents are educated on how to monitor their baby’s movements daily starting at 28 weeks.

The health of a mom and the health of her baby are closely connected. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) lists changes in a baby’s movements as one of its urgent maternal warning signs. Research shows a change in a baby’s normal movement pattern is sometimes the

first or only indication there may be an issue developing during the pregnancy.

After a few days using the free Count the Kicks mobile app (available in more than 20 languages), an online tracker, or counting on a paper chart, expectant parents can see how long it usually takes their baby to make 10 movements. If that pattern changes in the last three months of pregnancy, it could be a warning sign. Parents should call their healthcare provider right away.

The partnership between Public Health and First 5 San Bernardino will boost awareness about the Count the Kicks program with providers in San Bernardino County by providing continuing education, billboards and toolkits.

Maternal healthcare profes-

sionals and organizations in San Bernardino County can order free Count the Kicks educational materials (available at CountTheKicks.org) to help them have a conversation about movement patterns with expectant parents.

“Data from our Fetal and Infant Mortality Review program showed that 51% of fetal losses in 2024 involved decreased fetal movement,” said Monique Amis, division chief with the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health. “Based on

recommendations from the Community Action Team, we are excited to partner with Healthy Birthday Inc. and First 5 San Bernardino to bring the Count the Kicks program to our community and help reduce stillbirths.”

Stillbirth is the loss of a baby at 20 weeks of pregnancy or later. It is a national public health crisis that impacts more than 21,000 families in the United States every year, according to the CDC. In San Bernardino County, 540 families experience the tragedy of stillbirth each year. Across California, one in every 149 pregnancies ends in stillbirth.

Disparities in stillbirth outcomes continue, as data shows higher rates among Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders, Black, and American Indian or Alaska Native families. Expectant

parents in some age groups, geographic locations, and those expecting multiples also face an increased risk of stillbirth.

Research published in BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology showed a 30% drop in Iowa’s stillbirth rate in the first 10 years of Count the Kicks, while the U.S. rate stayed the same. The results have led researchers to call for action to address the stillbirth crisis in the U.S. and to study this program. Through this partnership, Public Health hopes to bring the same success and save approximately 173 babies each year in California. To learn more, visit CountTheKicks.org.
