T

his month we take time to honor the women around us who came face to face with breast cancer and weathered the storm, while we simultaneously extend support for those still waging the fight of their lives.

The prevalence of breast cancer is breathtaking—one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.

And, when America entered the new year on January 1, 2021, still reeling from the impacts of COVID-19, there were more than 3.8 million women with a history of breast cancer in this country, while more than 330,000 women were projected to be diagnosed with new cases of breast cancer throughout the year. Breast cancer remains the most diagnosed cancer in women.

Behind every one of those 3.8 million women who already experienced or were experiencing breast cancer when we entered 2021, and behind the additional 330,000 additional women being added to the breast cancer roll this year, there is a story of suffering, courage, strength, bravery, and in most cases, survival.

Many breast cancer survivors are willing to share their stories to help raise awareness, to encourage women not to leave their health to chance, and to make people aware of how breast

cancer can manifest in many ways.

Also, just as it is important to know the risk for breast cancer is almost double for any woman whose mother, sister, and/or daughter was diagnosed with breast cancer, it is equally important to understand that nearly 85% of breast cancers are diagnosed in women with no family history of it.

When we least expect it It was after dinner on Thanksgiving eve 2012, when Sandra received an unexpected call from her primary care physician with disturbing news about the results from her recent mammogram— the doctor suspected cancer in her right breast.

The cancer diagnosis was like a bolt out of the blue for her, she explained, after all, there was no history of breast cancer in her family.

The next two weeks were a blur of appointments, tests, more scans, and biopsies, she recalls. When the oncologist sat her down and pointed to the problem on images of her right breast, Sandra said it looked as if someone had sprinkled granules of salt on both sides of it—‘calcification’—the doctor advised, and it was cancerous (ductal carcinoma in situ or DCIS). continued on page 18

Former San Bernardino Cajon High School Standout, Jayden Daniels, Leads ASU Over UCLA 42-21 ASU’s Daniels Stock is Rising

Jon Gaede | Contributor

A

rizona State football coach Herm Edwards saw former San Bernardino Cajon High School standout Jayden Daniels, and knew instantly, he was watching the future quarterback of his football program.

Daniels’ slender build at 6’3” and 185 lbs, can beat teams with his arm or his legs.

Starting as a true freshman in 2019, Daniels’ special talent and leadership ability have propelled the Sun Devils to the top of the PAC 12 South. The retooled 2021 UCLA Bruins had been on the upswing with a signature home win against LSU, but ASU dominated them on Saturday night.

Daniels threw first half touchdowns of 54 and 65 yards to receiver Ricky Pearsall, giving the Sun Devils a halftime lead they extended to a 42-23 victory over the Bruins. Daniels was 13 of 18 passing for 286 yards and rushed for 45 on the ground.

New Legislation Enhances Protections for CA’s Domestic Violence Survivors

Drew Naté | Staff

G

overnor Gavin Newsom has signed legislation to enhance protections for survivors of domestic violence and bolster the enforcement of California’s nation-leading gun safety laws.

The measures signed by the governor on October 8, strengthens gun violence restraining orders and enables the analysis of crime gun data to track trends impacting communities across the state, among other domestic violence related changes.

“California has the strongest gun safety laws in the nation, but we’re reminded every day that we can’t afford to be complacent in the fight against the gun violence epidemic in this country – we can and must do more,” said Newsom in a press release.

The action strengthens enforcement of the state’s common-sense gun safety laws, he advised. “[H]elping ensure that dangerous individuals who are prohibited from possessing firearms surrender their weapons and advancing other lifesaving polices to make our communities safer.”

What’s changing • SB 320 requires the implementation of uniform procedures to ensure

(source: shutterstock.com)

individuals who are prohibited from owning firearms due to a domestic violence restraining order, relinquish their weapons and strengthen coordination between courts and law enforcement when there has been a violation of a relinquishment order.

• AB 1057 empowers law enforcement to seize ghost guns under gun violence restraining orders and domestic violence restraining orders, which expands a valuable tool designed to protect survivors.

• AB 1191 requires the Department of Justice to analyze crime gun data to trace the history of firearms used in crime and identify trends, providing important insight on how these guns are trafficked.

• SB 264 prohibits the sale of guns or ammunition at the Orange County Fair and Event Center. Gun violence prevention experts warn that gun shows can create a venue to circumvent gun safety laws. continued on page 13

Bianco, Villanueva: Two Failed Sheriffs

L

os Angeles and Riverside counties, other than being geographically close, might otherwise appear to have little in common.

Highly urban — mostly rural. Liberal to moderate — moderate to conservative.

Politically, though, the Hardy Brown, Sr. residents of both counties P u b l i s h e r are similarly cursed with Emeritus sheriffs who, once in office, Photo by Benoit Maphettes have turned out to be unfit to serve the people who elected them.

Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco As recently as 2014, it’s been revealed that Riverside Sheriff Chad Bianco was a dues-paying member of the Oath Keepers militia group, an extremist outfit founded in the wake of Barack Obama’s presidential inauguration, that touts conspiracy theories about the federal government being part of a Marxist cabal.

Bianco now goes back and forth between saying he barely remembers joining the group, whose leaders were key figures in the Jan. 6 riots inside the United States Capitol and defending the Oath Keepers as merely “protecting the Constitution.”

The ACLU Foundation of Southern California, Starting Over Inc., and Riverside All of Us or None, have written a letter calling California Attorney General Rob Bonta to launch an investigation into the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. No less than 20 additional local organizations signed on in support of their request.

Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva In Los Angeles County, Sheriff Alex Villanueva tumbles from bad to worse on a weekly basis, with his latest outrage against the public’s safety he was elected to protect, being his refusal to enforce a requirement that all county workers—including his thousands of deputies—be vaccinated against deadly COVID- 19. He accuses the county Board of Supervisors of being part of a “woke alternate universe” for trying to protect Angelenos by requiring the vaccine — and absurdly claims medical expertise he doesn’t possess by incorrectly saying that masks “are not backed by science” in protecting others from the spread of the disease.

(Bottom left): ACLU and community organizations call on Attorney General Rob Bonta to investigate the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. (Source: Black Voice News) (Bottom right): Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva refuses to comply with COVID-19 vaccine mandate. (source: twitter.com)

Cut from the same mold In the case of both sheriffs, these aren’t isolated incidents. They are part of a pattern of each pretending he is above the system of laws he is sworn to protect. Both have a penchant for picking and choosing how and what to enforce among those laws. To put it mildly, neither Bianco nor Villanueva have shown any capacity for getting along with other elected leaders.

8 VOICE | OCTOBER 21, 2021 | theievoice.com

Both were elected in 2018 as reformers in elections against mainstream incumbents. Once in office, each has been the opposite of a reformer, instead protecting entrenched, wrongheaded department habits and fleecing the public.

Stellar challengers are stepping up for the 2022 elections, in which Bianco and Villanueva need to be swept from office.

When Breast Cancer Hits Close to Home: EI’s Story, A Year in Retrospect

Marla A. Matime | Staff

F E A T U R E me the experience. Many people know that I'm a Deist so I don't ask God to change things in my life. I don't believe he works that way.

His plan is already set and I have to trust it.

I, instead, only give him thanks. I thank him for every lesson learned and journey I'm taken through. Now that this chemo journey is over- hopefully forever, my next leg of the journey is radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and finally corrective surgery. So my fight is not yet finished. I only rang the bell for the next level.”

On May 8th, E.I. had to miss a very important milestone due to her situation and also due to the travel restrictions for COVID-19.

She received her Master of Science degree in Respiratory Care Leadership. She said “I'm

come out of her comfort zone, and document her journey by posting weekly updates on her FB page for people to follow her chemotherapy journey.

“I went from never really going to the doctor unless it’s a routine check-up, to going 3 to 4 times a week on occasion. Even without going through chemotherapy, that’s enough for anyone to be tired,” she documents.

She received hundreds of responses each week from friends and family that could not be close due to the COVID-19 restrictions. Many of her friends and family lived out of state so traveling there was logistically impossible for many.

E.I. posted pictures of her changing looks as the chemotherapy and radiation were ravaging her body. She also noted how she was feeling and educated everyone who was following her journey on the types of medications she was taking, the side effects, and her body’s responses to those medications.

Chemotherapy To prevent hair loss, she decided to use a cooling cap.. Although there is some hair

loss during chemo treatments, a cooling cap tremendously reduces the amount of hair loss. E.I. ultimately kept a full head of hair throughout her treatments.

Although she lost her eyebrows and eyelashes, that didn’t stop her from getting dolled up from time to time. She also received some cold burns on the nape of her neck, side of her face, and her ears from the extreme temperatures. “Cold capping is a pain in the ass but it’s working for me,” said E.I. as she was going through the treatments.

This reporter had an opportunity to visit E.I. for her final chemotherapy treatment on May 3, 2021. Watching her undergo this experience in real time was inspiring, especially coming to the realization that she had to endure all of these treatments alone due to the pandemic and her husband needing to be available for their son.

Even with the extreme challenges, she remained optimistic.

She documented, “I'm so grateful to get through this leg of my journey and even more grateful to all my friends and family for their loving support. I'm thankful to God for allowing

S T O R Y sad that I couldn't be there but still proud of how far I've come.” She pushed herself and completed a goal during the hardest struggle in her life.

Radiation Just a few weeks later, she began her journey with radiation. E.I. said, “Back to doing what I love! I made the decision to return to work.

I've never been a stagnant person and that wasn't going to change because of cancer!”

E.I. would clock in for work at 6:45pm, clock out at 7:00 am the following morning, and head straight to her radiation therapy sessions. During these rounds of radiation and integrating a full work schedule after being off for so long, she experienced extreme fatigue; however, she was determined to continue the fight to “kick cancer’s ass,” as E.I. expresses.

On July 1st, she finished her final round of radiation. It was a grueling 31 days of treatment, as she notes “I thought radiation would be the easiest part of my cancer treatment, but it turned out to be the toughest part. My skin is pretty sensitive to radiation and I received some nice burns. On the bright side, my eyebrows and eyelashes started growing back.”

She also documents, “I didn't realize how emotional I'd be today. The flood gates opened when I was laying on the table and the tech asked me for my name and birthday for the final time!! I did it!! I'm done with radiation!!

Now to finish the last leg of this journey with my immunotherapy. Thank everyone so much for your love and support and thank God for allowing me this experience. I love you all!”

Immunotherapy E.I. is continuing her journey of healing by going through the final leg of the treatments-immunotherapy, which allows for the body’s own immune system to rebuild itself to control, eliminate, and prevent cancer. This treatment enhances the body’s immune response if or when new cancer cells begin to emerge.

As she approaches her 39th birthday, she is grateful to continue life with her husband

and son, taking each day, one day at a time.

Despite everything that she has gone through, she remains optimistic about the future.

Looking to the future E.I. was recently accepted into the Doctor of Health Science (DHSc) program at Nova Southeastern University. She aspires to open her own portable asthma clinic which will travel into underserved and underrepresented communities, to help treat and educate people about asthma and its triggers. The portable clinic will also be a means to help patients with other respiratory illnesses such as COPD. Her outlook on life is one of true optimism, faith, and perseverance. She hopes to inspire others who are on a difficult journey, to never give up and to keep pushing through. There is life after a cancer diagnosis.

E.I. is forever grateful to have caught it with early detection and getting a jump on it right away and not putting it off. In the words of E.I., “I will continue to kick cancer’s ass!”

The Interview: How Will California’s New 988 Mental Health Line Actually Work?

Jenny Gold | Kaiser Health News

I

n September 2020, Congress passed bipartisan legislation creating a three-digit national suicide hotline: 988. Think of it as an alternative to 911 for mental health emergencies.

The system is intended to make it easier to seek immediate help during a mental health crisis. Instead of calling 911 or the 10-digit national suicide hotline, Americans theoretically will be able to speak to a trained counselor by calling 988 from most any phone line.

The federal law allows states to raise funds for the effort by levying a surcharge on monthly bills for mobile and landline phone service. The money can be used to support the dedicated call centers, pay for trained mobile response teams to be dispatched instead of armed law enforcement officers, and bolster stabilization services for people in crisis.

States are required to have some version of the 988 system up and running by July 2022.

But the actual shape it takes is up to each state.

In California, the state Department of Health Care Services announced in September it would spend $20 million to help launch the 988 system.

AB 988 is legislation that would tack on up to 80 cents a month on phone lines in the state — both wireless and landline services — to provide ongoing funding for the system and associated services. The bill has faced opposition from the telecommunications industry, which argues the fee should be capped at 10 cents and fund only the cost of routing 988 calls to an appropriate crisis center. The bill has passed the Assembly and is expected to be taken up by the Senate next year.

Assembly member Rebecca Bauer-Kahan, an Orinda Democrat, is the principal author of AB 988, which she called the “Miles Hall Lifeline Act” in honor of a 23-year-old man who was fatally shot by police in Walnut Creek during a mental health crisis. His family said he had been diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder.

Bauer-Kahan, a Bay Area lawyer, talked to KHN’s Jenny Gold about efforts to get 988 operational in California and what the new system might be able to accomplish. The conversation has been edited for length and

clarity.

Q: The new federal law requires that every state have a 988 phone system in place by July. How is California doing, and will we be ready?

I’m hopeful that we will. We definitely have more work to do. We appropriated $20 million in September to ensure that we have the startup costs to build up our call centers. The data is showing that we should expect about a 30% increase in call volume [for California’s 13 suicide prevention call centers] when the rollout happens for 988 in July. So, it’s really critical to ensure that the call centers have the ability to increase staffing, and train people so that we’re prepared.

Q: Why is it important to have an emergency system dedicated exclusively to mental health?

This is a health care issue, but currently it’s being treated as a public safety issue. And that’s

12 VOICE | OCTOBER 21, 2021 | theievoice.com

leading to a whole host of problems. I’d say the largest problem is that [an estimated] 25% of all officer-involved shootings are people in mental health crisis. So that tells us that we aren’t getting the support we need to the people who need it.

Our law enforcement has been incredibly supportive of this effort because they know that there are people better trained to manage people who are in crisis. The largest mental health provider in the nation is the L.A. County jail, which is just the most upsetting thing I’ve heard. People shouldn’t be treated in our jails.

Q: What does the completed 988 system look like?

The federal legislation dictated that 988 calls have to be answered by certified suicide prevention call centers. We have 13 of those call centers in California, so they will be the people who answer. continued on page 13

On October 8, CA Governor Gavin Newsom signed legislation designed to strengthen protections for survivors of domestic violence. (source: ca.gov).

SB 264 prohibits the sale of guns or ammunition at the Orange County Fair and Event Center. (source: stock photo)

• AB 887 enables domestic violence survivors to file restraining orders and temporary restraining orders electronically.

initiatives designed to break the cycle of violence in disproportionately impacted communities.

• SB 538 requires courts to enable electronic filing and remote appearances for domestic violence restraining orders and gun violence restraining orders.

• AB 277 signed by the governor previously, requires the application and related notices for the Safe at Home program to be available in at least five languages.

• AB 673 supports domestic violence shelter service providers by ensuring the timely distribution of grant funding administered by the California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES).

Background and Budget The state of California introduced statewide gun safety protections, approved by voters in Proposition 63, to ban possession of largecapacity ammunition magazines and require background checks to keep ammunition out of the hands of dangerous people.

Since taking office, Governor Newsom has signed multiple bills aimed at reducing gun violence, strengthening gun violence restraining orders, regulating the sale of firearms and ammunition, and accelerating the regulation of ghost guns.

Included in the state budget is a $200 million investment in the CalVIP program to support

The budget also invests $11 million to facilitate outreach, education and training efforts related to gun violence restraining orders and $10.3 million for local law enforcement agencies to support the seizure of firearms from individuals prohibited from possessing them.

COVID-19 Initiatives for Survivors Governor Newsom has also launched different initiatives to support survivors of domestic violence during the COVID-19 pandemic.

They include support for local service providers, a partnership with the Women’s Foundation of California to raise private funds that support domestic violence organizations and private sector partnerships to provide free accommodation and transportation to survivors fleeing violence.

California has also launched “text-to-911” capability throughout the state and the 2021 state budget includes $15 million in funding for Cal OES to administer grants that support domestic and sexual violence prevention efforts.

Behind the call, the county where you live would be listening and determining whether you need dispatch. We believe, actually, a good percentage of callers will be served via just a phone call. But for those that need a response on the ground, there would be a warm handoff to county services.

People who have law enforcement showing up today would instead get a mobile crisis team showing up to support them in that moment of crisis. Then they’d be handed off to stabilization services and long-term care for their mental health needs.

Q: What happens after emergency personnel respond to a 988 call? Would the patient be routed into a system that looks different from the one we have now, where people are so often taken to an emergency room or jail?

The goal is yes. They wouldn’t go to jail, because law enforcement isn’t the responder.

So our jails would not continue to be our largest mental health care providers, but we would be building up a network of services.

Some people do need inpatient care that continued on page 17

cannot be provided outside of the hospital, and we should make sure we have the [necessary] beds, which we don’t today. If somebody needs somebody to talk to weekly, then the county will be able to provide those services.

[We need to ensure that] the counties, who really should be the service providers, have the resources to provide care to those in need.

And, currently, we just are woefully inadequate in the services that we can provide. The bill really defers to the counties with appropriate funding to create a system that will work for the community.

Q: We have a crisis that extends well beyond the point of police intervention, considering we don’t have places to

treat people during mental health emergencies. Is that part of the vision for 988, or does it deal mostly with this very specific moment of initial contact?

I’ve always said in thinking about this legislation that this is a small piece of the puzzle.

I will not say that I’m solving mental health in one piece of legislation. I am really focused on this piece of where we have law enforcement responding inappropriately today. How do we turn that into a health care response?

Now, do we need a complete, robust health care, mental health system underneath it? Yes. Am I creating that all through 988? No. So there’s a lot of work that I think will go with this. I think it’s this incredible step in the right direction, but I by no means believe that it is going to solve all of our problems. The end goal is to have a complete continuum of care, so that the counties are able to provide the services that each individual needs to get them to a healthy place.

Q: Is there a way to raise funding through 988 to help with that broader continuum?

The bill funds both the mobile crisis response and stabilization services. So, we anticipate funding more than just the telephone operators.

And we have fought tooth and nail to ensure that funding remains in the bill, because we believe that the phone system will be inadequate unless we have the services behind it to actually provide folks with the ability to be stabilized by their local counties.

[Having] the resources to provide exactly what each person in crisis needs is absolutely the goal. 988 is a piece of that puzzle. Sometimes you take the first step.

Breast Cancer, continued from page 3

The options were not good—either carve out large sections from both sides of her breast or opt for a mastectomy—she chose the latter.

Despite this choice Sandra said she feels lucky— her cancer was caught early, her follow up treatment was successful and nine years later she remains cancer free.

Before being diagnosed with breast cancer, Sandra said she was always very diligent about her annual mammograms and remains so today.

This is something she stresses when telling her story to others. She also emphasizes two additional points. First, that there was no history of breast cancer in her family and second, even though she routinely does self-breast exams, there was no lump, no breast discomfort of any kind—nothing that would have tipped her off to the cancer growing in her breast. She advises had she not also been diligent about her annual

completing a series of radiation treatments Rachel began a 5-year course of Tamoxifen, and this year, started monthly injections of Zoladex to stop her menstrual cycle and limit/ stop the production of estrogen. Due to her age and because her cancer feeds on estrogen the oncologist recommended Zoladex injections to decrease chances of the cancer’s recurrence by another two to three percent.

When Rachel was initially diagnosed, she had two fears. First, that she might carry the BRCA gene and maybe passed it unknowingly had passed it on to her baby daughters along with its increased risk for breast cancer. She took a DNA test and was relieved to learn she does not.

Secondly, she worries the cancer will reoccur and she will not be here for her young daughters as they grow to adulthood. It was this fear that propelled her to opt for the Zoladex injections

If you have dense breast tissue insist on an ultrasound. If you are unsure of whether your breast tissue is dense, ask your primary physician or the radiologist who does your mammogram.

This is important because there are some breast cancer indicators that do not show on regular mammograms when your breast tissue is dense.

It is also important to examine your breast each month. It is recommended you do so within four to five days of the onset of your period. It is also recommended that you examine your breasts the same time each month.

There was a time—not too long ago—when we did not speak of breast cancer out loud, and as with so many other things, we have learned that “silence equals death.” We must continue to tell the stories of women like Sandra, Rachel, and others willing to tell their stories so we can learn from their experiences. Mothers are encouraged

mammograms, her breast cancer may have gone undetected until it was too late.

Everything was going right, until something went terribly wrong Among women 45 years of age and younger, the incidence of breast cancer is higher among Black women than White women.

Rachel, an African American, was in her late 30s when she received her breast cancer diagnosis in 2019. After eight years of marriage during which she and her husband earned advanced degrees, traveled the world, secured the jobs of their dreams, bought a home and were now the parents of young daughters, twoand three-years of age. It seemed everything was going their way—until the morning Rachel awakened with a discomfort in her left breast.

Rachel had stopped breast feeding her youngest a few months earlier, so she decided to check with her gynecologist out of an abundance of caution. She would ultimately be diagnosed with Stage 1 ER Positive, Ductal carcinoma.

She opted for a lumpectomy which was followed shortly after with radiation. After

to gain that very slight, additional edge against the cancer returning.

She is now experiencing the symptoms of menopause—including hot flashes, etc. but said it is worth it for the added chance of being here for her girls.

Although breast cancer impacts all women, research confirms Black women are at greater risk of dying from it. Over the past 20 years, despite the universal decline in breast cancer mortality rates, the mortality rate among Black women with breast cancer remains high and is the highest among all other ethnic groups.

Joining the fight against breast cancer The best thing we can do for ourselves is to know our family history. It is also important to remind women nearing the age of 40 years that turning 40 marks another of those important passages in a woman’s life—like her first menstruation as a maiden and her last menstruation as a crone--40 is when women should begin their annual treks to radiology for those all-important mammograms.

to teach their daughters. Sisters should encourage their sisters and friends. encourage friends to check their breast, keep up with their annual mammograms and if something about their breasts does not feel right—check with their primary care physician.

This is important because although Black women are at higher risk for breast cancer means early detection can save lives.

The fight against breast cancer is not someone else’s to fight on our behalf—we must all do our part.

Of course, this is just my opinion. I’m keeping it real.
