and Public Health employees, left an indelible mark of sorrow and resilience.

In a heartfelt display of remembrance, the county invited the public to join in a moment of silence at 10:55 a.m. on Dec. 2, marking the exact time when the tragedy struck eight years ago. Flags at all County facilities were lowered to half-mast from

Friday, Dec. 1, until sunset on Monday, Dec. 4, as a gesture of respect and mourning.

The Curtain of Courage Memorial, located at the County Government Center, stood as a somber reminder of the lives lost, the survivors, and the first responders who SB Strong cont. next pg.

Reflecting on the event, Councilmember Echevarria shared a poignant Christmas memory from his childhood, "My greatest memory was growing up and watching my momma scramble to find us Christmas gifts. One year, she was sad because she did not have extra money to shop for us after paying the bills."

"I will never forget the brown Chevrolet Blazer that came to our home with volunteers and brought us gifts that year. It was a token of appreciation for the hundreds of hours she donated to the Catholic Charities organization. We felt grateful, and since then, I have learned to return the favor because I will never forget her face before that Christmas miracle," Echevarria recalled.

The parade also featured performances from Colton High School Cheer, who delighted the crowd with a rendition of "Jingle Bells," along with a band and various vendors at Fleming Park, creating a full-fledged holiday experience.

Echevarria, deeply moved by the event, expressed joy in engaging with the community.

bravely faced that tragic day. The memorial, a testament to resilience and remembrance, continues offering solace for those affected.

Among those in attendance at the moment of silence were the Nguyen family, who drove down from Orange County. They gathered to honor Tin Nguyen, a 31-year-old health inspector whose life was tragically cut short in the attack. Tin's mother, Vanessa Nguyen, shared her feelings with a heavy heart. "Every year, we come here to remember Tin and all those we lost," Vanessa said. "Missing last year was hard for us due to COVID, but being here together this year means everything."

Tin Nguyen's journey was one of hope and perseverance. After fleeing Vietnam with her family as a child, she embraced education and community in her new homeland. A graduate of Cal State Fullerton, she dedicated her career to public health, touching many lives through her work and generous spirit.

The San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors and Mayor Helen Tran also joined the gathering, reflecting the community's united front in facing the aftermath of the tragedy.

As the community paused to remember, the

was a privilege. Their happiness was palpable, a reminder of the true spirit of the holiday season," he said.

The council member also highlighted the inclusivity of the event. "Many children might not know what a City Councilman does, but their joy in simple holiday wishes was heartwarming. Engaging with so many beautiful families was truly special," Echevarria added.

Supervisor Joe Baca Jr. was notably active throughout the day, first seen at the Colton parade, walking ahead of his float and personally handing goodies to community members. His busy schedule then took him to the San Bernardino Government Center for a moment of silence commemorating the eighth anniversary of the San Bernardino terror attacks, followed by a visit to the 501c3 City Way's Small Business Holiday Market, and concluding with his participation in the City of Rialto's evening Christmas Parade.

The 46th Annual Christmas Parade in Colton brought cheer to the residents and served as a reminder of the community's resilience and spirit of togetherness.

As the floats made their way down La Cadena Drive, they left behind a trail of joy and a renewed sense of community bonding in the heart of the festive season.

As the community of San Bernardino continues to heal, the memory of Dec. 2, 2015, remains a poignant reminder of the resilience of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable loss.

The county reassures its commitment to support those still grappling with the emotional aftermath, offering resources for trauma and healing.

CITY TALK Recognizes Pentecostal City Mission Church 25th Anniversary

O

By Dr.G (Dr Luis S González), community writer

n Friday, December 1, during a special dedicated service, Council Member Dr.G (Dr. Luis S González) presented the CITY TALK “Community Impact Award” to the Pentecostal City Mission Church in recognition of their twenty-five years of service to Jesus Christ, the community of Colton, and the members of the church.

Led by Pastor Sharon Dyce, this thriving church was established in 1998 as a church plant from Los Angeles, which in itself was a church plant from Kingston, Jamaica.

This local church not only has grown in attendance, but has been blessed with a dedicated staff, and carries a clear threefold mission; to spread the gospel, utilize the power of healing through Jesus Christ, and take care of the entire person. When asked about the “entire person” comment, Pastor Dyce elaborated, “We make sure our members have a place to live, clothes to wear, food to eat, and have assistance with their studies and/or vocational goals.”

Each Sunday morning at 10:00am is Sunday School followed by the regular service. Visitors are always welcome. When someone comes to visit they are always greeted with a warm welcome, a pleasant smile, and a brief introduction to some of the church leaders.

No one leaves being a stranger, and often visitors return with questions. For individuals who are Spanish-speaking the church also offers a Spanish service at 3:00pm under the leadership of Rev. Alejandro Ruz. What is interesting is that the Spanishspeaking members also participate in both the regular services and special services so that they are always connected, and have the opportunity to continuously improve their English language skills.

The church calendar includes the dates and times of all services, but highlights additional programs that are available for individuals who wish to participate.

These programs include men’s studies, women’s studies, and youth activities as well as children sponsorships, a daily prayer line, weekly food distribution, and a community outreach to Tijuana, Mexico.

Pastor Dyce was the first pastor of City Mission Church, and continues to lead a dedicated staff of two assistant pastors, a Deacon Board, and an office staff with an administrator.

Whenever there is a service or special event, they are always there, dressed in uniform, and ready to take care of necessary arrangements to ensure a successful event. With the continued support of their staff and the active involvement of church membership, there is no doubt that this church ministry will continue to grow.

The special dedicated anniversary service was a great celebration for the entire church, and included friends, relatives and several invited guests.

The official CITY TALK recognition was presented to the church as part of the 25th anniversary service, which was attended by over 100 people. May this church continue to receive the blessings of Jesus Christ through their leadership, and their service. Congratulations to Pastor Dyce and the Pentecostal City Mission Church.

The CITY TALK “Community Impact Award” was established in 2019 to recognize the great efforts that people make to make our community, the City of Colton, a better place.

The Pentecostal City Mission Church is an excellent choice for this recognition, and truly represents the very best, in terms of service to the community, and in recognizing the intent of this award. Dr.G is a City Council Member, Founder of CITY TALK, and well-known community advocate.

For more information about CITY TALK, volunteer opportunities, or the online live-stream programs, contact Dr.G @ 909213-3730. Questions and comments are always welcome.

SBPD Under Fir e f or Use of Force, Messa ge from Chief Goodman

Community News

n November 27th, 2023, a citizen brought forward a video that showed one of our officers using force after a dangerous high-speed pursuit of a suspect driving a stolen vehicle.

We want to assure the public that we immediately started an investigation into this incident. The officer's actions are being examined for overall conduct, decision-making, and policy violations.

R

Uses of force are sometimes difficult to watch and understand. The force is often judged without context or background on how they came to be. In this situation, officers attempted a traffic stop on a vehicle without license plates.

Upon activating the lights, the vehicle fled at dangerous speeds and disregarded the safety of any children, pedestrians, or drivers around. The suspect lost control of his car and crashed into a telephone pole.

During the arrest, the officer punched and kneed the suspect. As soon as the suspect was placed into handcuffs, the force stopped. It was discovered that the suspect did flee because he was driving a stolen vehicle and was arrested on multiple felony charges.

Chief Goodman made the following statement regarding this incident, "Our agency strives for a Standard of Excellence and this situation appears to fall short. We will take the necessary steps to correct any officers' actions that are in-

consistent with protecting our community, providing quality service, and fostering trust. I have made it clear to our community that I will stand by my officers when we get it right. On the contrary, if we make mistakes, I will own it and take swift action to correct the situation."

The officer involved has been placed on a modified assignment while the investigation is ongoing.

Redlands Police and ABC Conduct Shoulder Tap Operation Resulting in Three Citations

Community News

edlands Police and agents from the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) cited three people during a Shoulder Tap operation Friday, Dec. 1, targeting adults who furnish alcoholic beverages to minors.

ABC agents and local law enforcement conducted a Shoulder Tap operation which targets adults who purchase alcohol for persons under the age of 21. A minor under the direct supervision of law

enforcement stands outside of a liquor or convenience store and asks customers to buy them alcohol. The minor also indicates they are underage and cannot purchase the alcohol.

RPD and ABC visited multiple locations with an 18-year-old volunteer who approached 20 adults, asking them to buy him alcohol. Three of the subjects agreed to buy alcohol and were issued citations.

“Underage drinking harms our community. Preventing the sale of alcohol to minors will help to increase public safety

and make our roads safer,” said Redlands Police Cpl. Michael Merriman.

If an adult agrees to purchase alcohol for the underage person, they can be arrested and cited for furnishing alcohol to a minor. The penalty for furnishing alcohol to a minor is a minimum $1,000 fine and 24 hours of community service.

“We conduct these operations to keep alcohol out of the hands of our youth,” said ABC Director Eric Hirata. “By preventing underage drinking we can increase the quality of life in our

communities and reduce DUIs.”

Statistics have shown that young people under the age of 21 have a much higher risk of being involved in a crash than older drivers. About 25 percent of fatal crashes involve underage drinking according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the ABC Alcohol Policing Partnership (APP) program.

Six Law Enforcement Agencies Aid in Community Fundraiser to Suppor t Loma Linda University Cancer Center research

Community News

he 9th annual No-Shave November fundraiser raised $15,000 for Loma Linda University Cancer Center’s patient care, translational research, and clinical innovation. Community members, Inland Empire law enforcement departments, and Loma Linda University Health partnered in this month-long initiative to promote cancer awareness, prevention, and early detection.

NoShaveNovember2023.jpgSix law enforcement agencies — San Bernardino Police Department, Chino Police Department, Redlands Police Department, San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office, San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, and Upland Police Department — all pitched in during the month

of November to raise the combined funds. Toyota of Redlands also contributed.

Richard H. Hart, MD, DrPH, president of Loma Linda University Health, thanked regional law enforcement during yesterday’s closing ceremony, held at the Toyota of Redlands.

“We want to thank and recognize our law enforcement for their tireless work serving our community and for their support of cancer services and research at Loma Linda University Health,” he said.

LLUH leadership also spoke of cancer’s profound impact on the community and shared ways in which No-Shave November funds will help bolster the Cancer Center’s initiatives.

The Cancer Center aims to achieve Na-

tional Cancer Institute (NCI) designation in recognition of its cutting-edge treatments and research. Current initiatives at the Cancer Center include developing a multi-disciplinary brain tumor center, expanding clinic and infusion spaces, and establishing a cellular immunotherapy lab.

Judy Chatigny, MSN, Cancer Center assistant vice president, spoke of the Cancer Center’s and local law enforcement’s shared mission and responsibility of helping to improve lives in the community.

“We are appreciative of our long-standing partnership with local law enforcement that allows us to take care of the community together,” she said. “Every year through this month-long event, we get to team up to spread awareness about cancer prevention, early detection, and

research.”

For a month preceding the event, members from the law enforcement agencies competed to grow out facial hair in hopes of earning a top title in seven categories: best eyebrows, best head of hair, best beard attempt, best mustache, best beard, whitest beard, and hairiest legs.

Wright and Nelson Carrington, Captain of the San Bernardino Police Department, announced winners during the fundraiser’s award ceremony.

After the program, a barbershop offered free straight-cut shaves on-site to those who had participated in the month-long awareness. No-Shave November participants over the past nine years have raised a grand total of nearly $116,000.

ative American Heritage Month may be formally over, but that does not mean the celebration of the history, heritage and resiliency of California’s, or the nation’s, First Peoples has ended.

“You don’t celebrate this just for one month,” said Carlos Two Bears Gonzales (Gabrielino Tongva and Mexica), coordinator of Cal State San Bernardino’s First Peoples Center. “You celebrate who you are every single day, no matter what your heritage is, no matter what your culture is. And that’s something that I preach often, but it genuinely is important.”

Assemblymember James C. Ramos, D-

Highland, member of the Serrano/Cahuilla tribe and the first California-born Native American elected to the state Assembly, was joined by fellow tribal members to share traditional bird songs, followed by bird singers from Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians, during the closing program held on the patio of the Santos Manuel Student Union North. The student union complex is named after Ramos’ great-great grandfather, Santos Manuel.

“We were here when we kicked off National Native American Heritage Month at the beginning of November and we’re here today to sing some songs and say a few more words,” Ramos said. “But this shouldn’t be the end of recognizing Native Americans throughout the United States. We should make sure that we’re

The interactive displays and roundtable discussions allowed attendees to engage with experts in the field and get a deeper understanding of the latest advancements in transportation. A highlight of the event was the science show, where students were entertained while learning about complex scientific concepts.

The presence of the Heavy/Medium Duty Technology Program was a great addition to the event, as students were able to view the electric Audi and heavy duty truck up close and learn about the technology behind them.

learning more about who we are as Indian people in the community every day of the year, not just one month out of the year, and the contributions that are there.”

In brief remarks, Ramos said that more needed to be done to ensure that the story of California’s Indigenous people is told truthfully and accurately.

“We continue to work with the educational system, building on American Indian Task Force to make sure that curriculum correctly portrays who we are as California Indian people,” he said, adding that it also includes recruiting more California Indians into the teaching profession.

“It’s time we start educating those in

the third and fourth grade,” Ramos said.

“It’s time we start educating those in middle school and in high school about who we truly are with our history, our history of who we are and the governmental system that we live by. It’s no different than the governmental system in the state of California and the federal government. Our system is a democratic process. It’s time that we start to learn and embrace one another with our cultures, making sure that we continue to grow as diversity and honor all Native American people not just one month out of the year, but all 12 months and every day, giving acknowledgment to the resiliency of our ancestors.”

McCarthy Building Companies Breaks Ground on $285M University of California, Riverside Student Housing Project

Community News

McCarthy Building Companies, Inc. (McCarthy) has broken ground on the $285M, 424,000 square-foot North District Phase 2 Student Housing Development at University of California, Riverside (UCR). This intersegmental project, one of the first of its kind in California, will house students from UCR and Riverside Community College District (RCCD), providing those students the opportunity to experience affordable campus living.

The recent surge in enrollment at UCR and RCCD colleges has created a substantial disparity between housing demand and available options. Students have been compelled to explore off-campus housing alternatives, which may not always be

safe or convenient. This project aims to address the current housing shortage and ultimately provide a secure, comfortable, and modern living environment for both undergraduate and graduate students.

“The McCarthy team is proud to be part of this revolutionary project, which helps bridge the gap between larger universities and community colleges,” said Sarah Carr, Vice President, McCarthy. “This housing development will provide affordable options that will enhance graduation rates not only for UCR students, but for Riverside City College students as well – a benefit to the entire community.”

Located on UCR’s main campus, the project will provide 429 modern single and double occupancy apartment-style units ranging from one to four bedrooms

and complete with kitchen/living room spaces along with contemporary amenities such as high-speed Wi-Fi, air conditioning, designated study areas, and communal spaces designed for both academic focus and social engagement, including a café/market, new recreation fields and a central park. The project has also received funding through the State Higher Education Student Housing Grant Program to provide affordable beds for UCR and Riverside City College students, bringing the total number of beds to 1,568 and ensuring that students from diverse backgrounds have access to safe, affordable housing.

“We can’t solve all the problems that are challenges for students, but we can solve those two by bringing students to the campus, letting them live here, wear their

UCR or RCC T-shirt, and just be part of the campus,” said Kim Wilcox, Chancellor, UCR. “It breaks down a barrier and aside from the housing, it provides them with a different sense of themselves.”

This intersegmental housing project “is meticulously and intentionally designed to break persistent cultural and psychological barriers that many of our first-generation and low-income students experience through a process of total immersion into the UC system.” said WoldeAb Isaac, Chancellor, RCCD. “My hope is this unique partnership and innovative approach will serve as a model for others to emulate around the state.”

The first students of the North District Phase 2 Student Housing Development are expected to move in in 2025.

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.

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.

LLUH Dermatologist Dr. Luke's Guide to Winter Skincare for IE Children, Eczema Tips, and SPF for Darker Skin Tones

A

By Manny Sandoval

s winter's chill begins to sweep across the Inland Empire, parents face a unique challenge – safeguarding their children's sensitive skin against the harsh elements. With her profound expertise, Loma Linda University Health Board-certified Dermatologist Dr. Janiene Luke sheds light on the importance of specialized skincare during these colder months.

Children's inherently sensitive and developing skin demands careful attention, especially in infants. "Even infants can get eczema," explains Dr. Luke, highlighting the vulnerability of young skin to dryness and irritation. The winter season exacerbates these issues, with colder, drier climates triggering skin changes and eczema flares in children and adults.

Contrary to popular belief, the relatively milder Inland Empire winters still significantly threaten skin health. Dr. Luke warns against underestimating these conditions. "We might not face extreme cold, but the use of heaters and exposure to cold air strips natural moisture," she notes, emphasizing the need for protective clothing like hats and mittens to combat moisture loss.

A prevalent concern Dr. Luke observes is dry skin, particularly among children of Latino and African-American descent. She

points out the unique genetic predispositions, such as lower ceramide levels in African American skin, which lead to higher susceptibility to dryness.

This calls for diligent moisturizing, with Dr. Luke advising thicker moisturizers during winter and using ceramide-rich products.

For parents seeking to craft a simple yet effective skincare routine for their children, Dr. Luke recommends avoiding long, hot baths, which can deplete skin oils, and opting for fragrance-free products to reduce irritation. "Moisturizing immediately after bathing with a thick cream or ointment is key," she advises, stressing the importance of locking in moisture, particularly during winter.

Parents should also be cautious about certain skincare ingredients. "Fragrances and alcoholbased products can be particularly drying and irritating to the skin," Dr. Luke cautions.

She notes that environmental factors like seasonal allergies and certain detergents can exacerbate eczema.

In addressing the skincare needs of the region’s diverse population, including people of color, Dr. Luke tackles a common misconception regarding melanin and sun protection. It's often believed that the presence of melanin in darker skin tones negates the need for sunscreen.

However, Dr. Luke emphasizes

the importance of using sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher for all skin types. While studies have suggested that darker skin may have a natural SPF of around 13, compared to about 3 for lighter skin, this does not eliminate the need for additional protection.

The inherent melanin in darker skin provides some defense, but it's not sufficient to fully protect against skin cancer, discoloration, and premature aging.

Sun protection remains a critical yet often overlooked aspect of winter skincare. "Even in winter, and even for people of color with natural melanin, sun protection is critical," Dr. Luke states.

When selecting skincare products, she recommends brands like CeraVe, La Roche-Posay, and Eucerin, especially those products carrying the National Eczema Association's seal of approval. These products are formulated for sensitive skin and are suitable for children and adults.

Dr. Luke also stresses the importance of consulting a dermatologist for persistent skin issues like severe dryness or eczema.

Access to dermatological care is more feasible than many realize, as some health insurance plans do not require referrals for specialist consultations.
