tanding in a union hall filled with families lining up for free photos with Santa on Dec. 3, Teamsters Local 1932 Principal Officer Randy Korgan said the most urgent issue facing Inland Empire workers isn’t holiday spending — it’s whether they will be able to retire at all. “Now you see a very small percentage of

workers that can actually retire,” Korgan said. “More than 80% of workers in the workforce do not have a retirement vehicle upon retiring at this given point right now. It is a shocking, absolutely shocking statistic.” Korgan said too many people who spend decades on the job are being pushed out just when they should be able to slow down.

“People get into their 50s or early 60s and inevitably what happens is you run into a health issue that then forces you to retire from the job that you’ve been doing for a very long time,” he said. “The vast majority of the workforce, even though they should be ready to retire, are not ready. And it’s not their fault; it’s because the employers have not built the plans nor the pathways for their very workers to have what they need Teamsters Local 1932, cont. on next pg.

40-foot Christmas tree now towers in front of San Bernardino’s shuttered City Hall, drawing families to 290 N. D Street after the city’s annual tree lighting ceremony on Dec. 4. The relocation of the tree from Court

Street Square to the main downtown corridor was intentional, city leaders said, meant to bring more visibility to holiday activities and nearby businesses as Miracle on Court Street gets underway. “This new tree placement is absolutely visible to the traffic and the main corridor,” Mayor Helen Tran said. “And it’ll help

draw more attention to our Miracle on Court Street, a 10 day event that kicks off on December 10th.” The tree lighting featured carolers, music, a countdown led by city officials and free photos with Santa in front of the decorated tree as families filled N. D Street. Tree Lighting, Cont. on next pg.

paying jobs,” Korgan said.

- at that time.”

He said the event was designed with the reality in mind that most Inland Empire students will not immediately head to college.

“When they get to that older age and they can’t do the job anymore, they just turn them out and get a younger person in,” Korgan said. “It’s almost like discarding workers. We’re seeing this attitude from employers and it has to change.” He said the consequences are severe. “Usually what happens is they end up on some form of public assistance,” Korgan said. “They may be disabled in a way where they’re not completely unable to work, but they clearly can’t keep doing the job they’ve done for 30 or 40 years. That leads to housing insecurity and dramatically changes their life.” Korgan was especially critical of how 401(k) plans have replaced traditional pensions. “Here’s a shocking statistic, the way I understand it,” he said. “More than 85% of workers who have a 401(k) available to them use it as a retirement vehicle. First off, it shouldn’t be a retirement vehicle — it’s a savings plan. But it has now become the primary retirement vehicle in America, and that’s a mistake.” He said that for most workers, those savings are wiped out before they ever retire. “When those workers get to the point of retirement, more than 80% of them have to draw it down to zero,” Korgan said. “In other words, they have to completely empty the bucket of their 401(k) before retirement because of one of three reasons: a death in the family, a job loss, or health care expenses.” “How is it a retirement vehicle if it’s my own money and I’m working for an employer? That’s a savings plan,” he said. “There absolutely needs to be a commitment from employers to take care of their workers up until the day they retire, and to make sure that once they do retire, they’re in a good place.” Korgan pointed to defined benefit pensions and meaningful employer-funded retirement plans as models that “have proven to be beneficial to the working class upon the point of retirement.” Against that backdrop, the union’s recent work with young people, he said, is about building a different future from the one many older workers are facing now. Earlier this school year, on Nov. 6, Teamsters Local 1932 hosted a career day at its training center that brought in more than 1,200 students from over 40 Inland Empire schools across 13 school districts. “There were more than 50 jobs that they were introduced to, Teamster union jobs in the region, jobs that you could buy a home with, you know, the good-

“A lot of high schoolers think, what am I going to do as soon as I graduate?” he said. “From what I understand, 82% of kids in the Inland Empire are not going to college and therefore they’re going to get in the job market. There’s nothing wrong with that. We just have to get them connected to good jobs.” Employers at the event included UPS and public-sector agencies. “We had UPS here,” Korgan said. “You had the county here with a number of positions — professional positions, public works positions, jobs working for the water department.” For many public agencies — cities and the county — representatives were on hand to explain what it takes to get into those careers, he said, citing Stater Brothers’ warehouse and its operation as another example. Students’ reactions, Korgan added, showed how little exposure many have had to stable, family-supporting work. “Hearing a high school student say, ‘I didn’t realize there were this many good jobs that we could connect to,’” he said. “They were really blown away that there were other opportunities that they had not been exposed to. Hearing that multiple times from multiple high school students was very impactful. It meant we hit a home run with our event.” School districts represented at the career day included San Bernardino, Redlands, Fontana, Colton and Rancho Cucamonga. Districts or schools interested in future events can contact the Teamsters Local 1932 Training Center. While the career day looks toward students’ futures, the union’s Holiday Open House — where the interview took place — reflects the present-day struggles and solidarity of working families. “If you look around, you see the kids getting a picture with Santa and Mrs. Claus instead of having to go to the mall and pay for a picture, you can get one here for free if you’re a member,” Korgan said. “They’re definitely not cheap.” He said the gathering is as much about connection as it is about celebration. “It also builds camaraderie and brings our members and their families to a common space where we have common issues to face,” he said. “It gives families a day to celebrate, knowing that the holidays are here, and a day where the kids get in the jumper or the maze or play the games

and just enjoy themselves for a bit. It turns into a nice little family event.” Those “common issues,” he said, include health care costs and keeping wages ahead of inflation. “Affordable health care, or access to health care, is always an issue — something that we’re always striving to make sure our members have the best access available,” Korgan said. “We consistently work on that, as well as making sure that their jobs, and the jobs we represent them in, can sustain an economic future where they can afford to buy homes and goods and services in the area and keep up with inflation and the economic conditions of the region.”

Tree Lighting (cont.) - For Councilman Mario Flores, the move to City Hall made this year’s ceremony stand out.

“Oh man, it's an incredible feeling,” Flores said. “I think back on the previous years we’ve done this, and we’ve always outdone ourselves. This year is my favorite tree lighting because it’s in front of City Hall.” Flores credited Parks and Recreation Director Vanessa Calder for pushing the event into the civic core. “She had the vision and for her it was expanding from where Court Street Square is and slowly growing our footprint here,” he said.

He also urged caution around automation and AI, particularly in logistics.

Ahead of the tree lighting, a group of performers took the stage.

“You’ve got to be very careful, number one, about getting rid of your own job, and number two, most importantly, about the safety factor of eliminating who would be overseeing a safe environment,” he said. “You put a big rig full of products going down the freeway and you have a driverless vehicle — I don’t know, I don’t want my family on the road next to that.”

“Oh, they sang Jingle Bell Rock and they did quite a rocking dance to it,” said Marianne Rose, whose child is part of the city’s Center for Individual Development (CID), a Parks, Recreation and Community Services program for people with developmental disabilities. As a parent, she added, “Very proud. My heart just bursts every time I see these guys.”

“Some people would say it’s safer than human beings. I’m sorry, but I’m going to trust a human being behind the wheel,” he added. “Sometimes you don’t realize what you’ve got until you’ve lost it — then who’s there to pick up the pieces? Computer.” Looking into 2026, Korgan said the union will continue pushing for better health care, safer workplaces and real retirement paths, while maintaining events that reflect its role in the broader community. “Our annual event that’s massive here, which we get four or five thousand people attending, is the car show on April 11th,” he said. “Looking forward to seeing everybody here. The general public, not just our members, are all welcome to attend.” Korgan said the car show also serves as a major fundraiser for the union’s charity fund, which Youth supports primarily Helpers. The nonprofit uses the money to send kids to camp in Big Bear and to run programs for teens and younger students that, he said, “bring good awareness not just on unions, but on becoming a responsible adult when they get there.” From sounding the alarm on a retirement crisis to guiding students toward union careers and investing in local youth, Korgan said Teamsters Local 1932 intends to keep its San Bernardino hall a place where working people in the Inland Empire can gather, be heard and fight for a more secure future.

Rose praised CID, saying the program has opened doors for families like hers. “They bring us into society, they give us chances to do all kinds of things,” she said. “These guys get to go to Disneyland, they get to go camping. And as a parent of a disabled child, the thing you want most is for them to be happy and for them to have a place where they can be themselves.” Nearby, Susan Avila stood with her sons Eric and Angel, explaining why they also came out for the performance and lighting. “We are here supporting CID,” she said. “They help individuals with developmental delays. And we're supporting them because they're doing a lot of activities in the community, volunteering and more.” Avila said programs like these “gives parents hope.” “Your child may have a condition or a disability, but they are capable of having normal lives,” she said. “They can do what everyone else can do, helping society to understand that they can have a normal life. This is not a bad thing. This is a blessing.” Community advocate Miriam Nieto said nights like this challenge outside perceptions of San Bernardino. “I would say a lot of people would say what is there to do in San Bernardino?” she said. “And I guess as somebody who lives, works and plays in San Bernardino, there's a lot to do. I always feel like there's so much to do.”

For her family, that includes a downtown holiday ritual. “Every year we bring the kids to the Miracle on Court Street,” Nieto said. “It's intimate, it's local and I think that says a lot about San Bernardino.” Arts leaders at the event said they want that sense of energy and togetherness to extend beyond the holidays. Michael Segura, executive director of the Garcia Center for the Arts, said residents should expect new opportunities in 2026. “We're going to be launching our membership. We're also going to be doing some hiring. And then you're going to see more skillshares, more workshops happening, and more events,” he said. Segura said his top hope for 2026 is an art acquisition policy and dedicated public funding. “What I'd like to see in 2026 in the arts would be policy in San Bernardino, specifically our art acquisition policy,” he said. That, he added, would support “more public funding towards arts and culture here, meaning grants for community organizations, inimprovements, frastructure more investment in our libraries, even in our parks, and eventually a department for arts and culture.” He pushed back on the idea that the arts are optional. “That the arts don't have value,” Segura said, describing a common misconception. “People see the arts as an extra thing — if you have extra money, maybe you invest in the arts or put some money towards them. But arts are really critical. It's our culture. It's the center of freedom of speech. It's where conversations start.” Miracle on Court Street runs Dec. 10–21 at Court Street Square, 349 N. E Street, featuring daily snow, letters to Santa, arts and crafts, a s’more station, storytime, music and more, Monday through Sunday from 5 to 9 PM. The city’s parks, recreation and community services department is also hosting: — Miracle on Court Street Silent Disco on Dec. 11, 5–8:30 PM, at Court Street Square. — Deck the Halls Holiday Dance Party on Dec. 12, 6–9 PM, at 8088 Palm Lane. — Breakfast with Santa on Dec. 20, 10 AM to noon, at Court Street Square. Mayor Tran said her own holiday must-have is simple. “Family — to be with family, gather, and just have a really nice dinner and be together,” she said. “That's what's important.”

CSUSB Professor Leads Breakthrough Study That Solves Martian Mystery

By CSUSB

atteo Crismani, associate professor of physics and astronomy and director of the Murillo Family Observatory at Cal State San Bernardino, and a team of independent scientists have solved a decade-old Martian mystery that baffled planetary scientists worldwide. The study, published online in Icarus in September ahead of its appearance in the scientific journal’s January 2026 issue, reexamines a 2015 report that claimed to show massive “plumes” of material extending more than 150 miles above Martian surface — far beyond the planet’s lower atmosphere. In planetary terms, a plume is a broad, feather-shaped cloud of gas, dust, or other material that extends outward from its source. The paper, titled “High-altitude Martian plume is likely an ordinary twilight cloud,” offers a new explanation for the phenomenon. Crismani is the paper’s lead author,

joined by co-authors Michael Chaffin, Kyle Connour, Nicholas Schneider, Shannon Curry, Justin Deighan and Sonal Jain, all from the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado Boulder; Reed Fitzpatrick from the University of California, Riverside; Giuliano Luizzi from the University of Basilicata; Marek Slipski from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory; and Geronimo Villanueva from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. Together, the team collaborated on the new analysis that overturns earlier interpretations of the phenomenon. “This research brought together scientists from multiple NASA and ESA (European Space Agency) Mars missions, senior and junior researchers, and even an undergraduate contributor,” said Crismani. “It exemplifies the scientific process, where new evidence sparks mystery and debate, yet through collaboration and communication, understanding of complex phenomena can be achieved within our lifetimes.” The original 2015 telescopic observa-

tions showed patches of light that appeared to rise above the edge of the planet, effectively into space. Since clouds are unlikely to form so high, scientists proposed other possibilities — such as a new type of dust storm or even a daytime aurora. For nearly a decade, the phenomenon remained an unsolved mystery. Crismani and his colleagues recently reanalyzed the published images of Mars and discovered that it was literally a matter of perspective. The original report had not fully accounted for Earth, Mars and the Sun not being in a straight line. In the new study, careful analysis of the viewing geometry revealed that a small but significant dark crescent was in view, much like Earth’s moon when it is not quite full. This meant that part of Mars' nightside was in view behind the bright patches, but too dark for the telescopes to detect. “When you notice a pair of eyes gleaming at you out of the darkness, the simplest explanation is that there’s an

Op-Ed Colton’s Failure to Rezone Jeopardizes 5,434 Homes and Our Say in Future Development By Josiel Perez, Colton resident

he City of Colton is falling behind on one of the biggest issues in our region: housing.

Concerningly, the city has been out of compliance with California’s housing laws since October 2022, when it missed the state’s required rezoning deadline under AB 1398. Since then, the state has contacted Colton multiple times, most recently issuing a formal inquiry this April from the Department of Housing and Community Development. Despite these notices, the city still has not completed the zoning updates required for compliance. This ongoing noncompliance has real consequences. Without a compliant Housing Element, Colton risks losing local control over new develop-

ment through the state’s “builder’s remedy,” which allows certain housing projects to bypass local zoning. The city could also face financial penalties or legal action, and become less competitive for state funding. Most importantly, this noncompliance is worsening our local housing shortage. Colton was allocated 5,434 new homes for the 2021–2029 cycle, but many of the sites identified for these units cannot move forward without the required rezoning. Meanwhile, home prices and rents continue to rise, and homelessness has increased. Colton’s ongoing noncompliance puts the city in a difficult position at a time when housing pressures continue to grow. It is important for residents to understand how these unresolved zoning obligations could bring challenges by shaping future developments and the city's ability to respond to local housing demand.

animal behind them that’s just too shadowy for you to make out, not that there’s a ghost or apparition standing there in defiance of known physics,” said Chaffin. “The same is true of Mars: rather than exotic plumes, simple geometry and ordinary clouds seem to be the cause of these phenomena.” Once the geometry was verified with computer models, the patches of light were much easier to explain — they were just normal clouds over Mars at sunrise or sunset. When viewed from Earth, the clouds lined up against Mars' dark crescent, creating the illusion that they were impossibly high. But such twilight clouds are relatively common on Mars and have been observed by orbiters and rovers. The team’s analysis confirmed that no new types of clouds, dust storms or auroras are needed to explain the event. What once appeared to be clouds in space turned out to be a simple matter of perspective. Mystery solved. .

Redlands Unified Vote Dec. 9 on Banning Black-Authored ‘Push,’ ‘The Bluest Eye’ Despite Review By IECN Staff

n Tuesday, December 9, 2025, at 6:00 p.m., the Redlands Unified School District Board of Education will vote on whether to ban two critically acclaimed books, Push by Sapphire and The Bluest Eye by Nobel Laureate Toni Morrison. Both titles, written by Black authors, were selected by credentialed district librarians. They have been subsequently challenged under the district’s newly revised Board Policy 1312.2. While RUSD previously maintained a long-standing policy for reviewing challenged instructional materials, the policy was revised following a shift to a conservative majority on the Board.

Redlands Unified School District leaders Michele Rendler (board president), Patty Holohan (vice president), Jeannette Wilson (clerk), trustees Melissa Ayala-Quintero and Candy Olson, and Superintendent Juan Cabral.

The district invested resources to assemble these committees, ensuring that the review process was thorough, balanced, and aligned with policy. “These committees required both time and district funds to complete their work, and they recommended that these books remain available to students,” said a representative of Together for Redlands. “We urge the Board to respect the integrity of that process. Ignoring the committees’ findings would undermine the policy the Board adopted and waste valuable district resources.” The meeting will take place in the RUSD Board Room at 25 West Lugonia Avenue in Redlands. Members of the public and press are encouraged to attend.

San Bernardino Marks Dec. 2 Terror Attack’s 10th Year, Honors 14 Lost in County Memorial

PHOTO SB COUNTY

The memorial service is held in front of the County’s Curtain of Courage.

Community News

uesday, Dec. 2, marked the 10th anniversary of the 2015 San Bernardino terrorist attack, which took the lives of 14 people, including 13 county employees. Dozens of other county employees suffered serious physical and emotional injuries.

The county hosted a private memorial service on Tuesday for survivors and the families of the deceased at the Curtain of Courage Memorial at the County Government Center in San Bernardino. The county also conducted a virtual moment of remembrance on the county’s social media channels and lowered flags to half-staff.

Fourth District Supervisor Curt Hagman and AssessorRecorder-County Clerk Josie Gonzales, who were members of the Board of Supervisors on Dec. 2, 2015, spoke at the memorial service and vowed the county would never forget those who were taken from us on that day and those who continue to suffer.
