egistered nurses working for San Bernardino County spoke out during public comment at the Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday, August 6, voicing urgent concerns over severe patient safety issues stemming from chronic short staffing. Over the past six months, nurses at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center (ARMC) have reported more than 125 incidents of unsafe patient care due to a lack of sufficient staff. The nurses, repre-

sented by the California Nurses Association/National Nurses United (CNA/NNU), are demanding immediate action to address these issues, citing the county’s failure to recruit and retain nursing talent.

“This is unacceptable,” said Diana Lucatero, a registered nurse in ARMC’s medical intensive care unit. “We must stand behind our hospital’s mission statement and make the necessary changes to provide our community with a hospital that

focuses on maintaining the highest standards in patient care. The safety of our patients needs to be the top priority.”

Currently, more than 300 nursing positions remain vacant at ARMC, highlighting what the nurses call a crisis in care that is driving many to leave the profession. They are demanding a new contract as their current agreement, which expires in October 2024, does not adequately address the County Nurses cont. on next pg.

staffing and safety concerns.

Stacy Medina, a registered nurse in ARMC’s labor and delivery unit, voiced concerns over management’s ability to cancel nurses mid-shift, further compounding the problem. “We are already short staffed, and now management wants the ability to cancel nurses? This only hurts our patients. To ensure we provide the highest standard of care, we need a strong union contract that provides fair wages, benefits, and essential working conditions to attract and retain skilled nurses.”

Staffing Crisis Endangers Patient Safety According to the CNA/NNU, in April 2024, there were 411 vacancies countywide, with 317 of them at ARMC. However, when nurses requested a list of vacancies from ARMC, only 161 positions were listed. “When we asked ARMC for a list of vacancies, it only showed 161,” said Veronica Morales, an RN in ARMC’s case management unit. “After reaching out to HR, we were told these were ‘approved-to-fill’ vacancies, but prior reports didn’t reflect that approval.”

Rialto Resident’s Leadership Secures Riverside County Superior Court Approval to Investigate Animal Cruelty Crimes

By Manny Sandoval

O

n July 17, 2024, the Riverside County Superior Court officially granted Guardian Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) the authority to investigate animal cruelty cases, marking a major step forward in protecting vulnerable animals.

The union has been pressing the county for a new contract that guarantees better working conditions and higher standards of patient care. “Providing the resources needed to care for our patients and our community in the way they should be cared for is crucial,” said Leslie Oyes, a burn unit nurse at ARMC. “Prioritizing recruitment and retention of nurses during these negotiations is paramount to resolving the nurse staffing crisis the county has been struggling with for years.”

Lucatero described the direct impact these staffing shortages have on patient care, particularly in intensive care.

“Before the pandemic, we could get our ventilated patients up for walks.

Now, due to staffing issues, our patients are weakening day-by-day as we don’t have the staff or resources, making it tougher to rehabilitate them.”

This is not an isolated issue at ARMC. Nurses across the county, in departments ranging from public health and behavioral health to the sheriff’s and probation departments, report similar problems that stem from inadequate staffing and poor working conditions.

job training, and certification programs for aspiring Humane Officers, Animal Control Officers, and other wildlife protection roles.

"I am particularly impressed with the multi-faceted approach of this program. It not only protects animals and employs U.S. military veterans, but also offers youth mentoring through a cadet-style education and fitness program," Bianco added. "This wraparound approach to common problems in our area is refreshing and a great opportunity."

Riverside County District Attorney Michael A. Hestrin echoed Bianco's sentiments, underscoring the importance of Guardian SPCA’s specialized expertise.

"The SPCA expertise is exactly what Riverside County law enforcement agencies need in order to ensure that we are protecting our people, and our animals, to the greatest extent possible," Hestrin said.

Martinez also acknowledged the unique approach his team has taken, noting that both the District Attorney and Sheriff's Department were intrigued by the way Guardian SPCA handles animal cruelty investigations. "Most police officers don't think this type of detective work has the glory of being a real detective," he said.

"But I believe with the experience we have on this team, we can provide great police work and make a real impact on the animal cruelty crimes that often go unreported and even uninvestigated due to the lack of manpower."

Reflecting on the five-year journey that led to this moment, Martinez expressed pride in his team’s dedication to the cause.

"It’s exciting because I am teamed up with some great retired police detectives from all different types of backgrounds ranging from the Los Angeles Police Department to the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department to the Glendale Police Department. All these detectives bring a specific expertise in investigations."

"This puts an additional tool in our kit to combat crimes against animals," said Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, who offered a letter of support to the court.

"Riverside County Animal Control Officers will continue to protect people from dangerous animals, while the SPCA will protect animals from dangerous people. There is a need for both."

He added, "The members of this team are really excited because of the love we share for animals and believe wholeheartedly in providing a voice for those who cannot communicate being a victim."

With a dedicated veterinarian on staff, Guardian SPCA is well-positioned to bring much-needed attention and expertise to animal cruelty cases in Riverside County.

Bianco also praised Guardian SPCA’s holistic approach, which includes not only animal protection but also youth mentorship,

Bradley Clarence Peck was arrested Tuesday, Aug. 13, during a traffic stop near his home in the 13300 block of First Avenue in Victorville. Peck works for a company with locations in Redlands and Rancho Cucamonga.

Detectives served a search warrant at the residence and recovered numerous electronic devices containing more than 2,950 images of Child Sexual Abuse Material.

Investigators determined that Peck used a KIK messenger app account to upload multiple files of CSAM in approximately 20 transactions to other users.

Peck sold the images through KIK and other online apps in exchange for AmaXavier Robert Berver, 71 of Colton, California passed away on 7/20/24 with family by his side.

Community Leaders Stand Up to Big Oil with Ad Campaign, Press Conference

By IECN Staff

A

coalition of Environmental Justice organizations from across the state launched a powerful new ad campaign titled Que No Te Engañen (“Don’t Let Them Fool You”) to expose oil companies for their lies and deceptive tactics in California’s Latino communities.

The ad campaign comes on the heels of the Western States Petroleum Association (WSPA), one of the state’s most powerful lobbying groups, launching its own media campaign targeting Latinos’ economic anxieties to slow California’s clean energy transition. A scathing editorial by the LA Times called out WSPA’s attempt to influence California’s largest ethnic group as “especially cynical because it tries to take advantage of a community that is among the hardest hit by fossil fuel pollution and would benefit most from policies to slash emissions.”

A recent report from the American Lung Association found that 6 of the 10 most polluted cities in the country are in California, and have majority Latino populations. This is a big reason why California Latinos are exposed to the worst air quality in the country. Like-

wise, Latino kids are twice as likely to die from asthma than their peers and have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes as a result of over-exposure to air pollution in the state.

California Latinos are no strangers to Big Oil’s ploys and are becoming increasingly frustrated. A recent poll found that 70% of Latino voters said they were angry that oil companies are funding advocacy groups to lobby against climate policies. They are the most likely demographic to have heard of the oil and gas industry’s efforts to deceive them on climate change and attempt to shift responsibility for the climate crisis away from oil and gas companies.

One reason for the oil industry’s media blitz could be its recent defeat at the ballot. The industry was forced to withdraw its efforts to repeal California's SB 1137 law (which would restrict oil drilling adjacent to communities) on the November ballot after encountering significant public opposition and poor polling numbers, despite a substantial financial investment of $61 million.

Peck was booked Tuesday into Central Detention Center in San Bernardino. He was released Wednesday on $30,000 bail.

This investigation is part of an ongoing operation by the Internet Crimes Against Children’s regional task force known as Online Guardian 2.0 to crack down on the sexual exploitation of children online. The regional task force includes law enforcement agencies from San Bernardino, Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura and Santa Barbara counties.

Anyone with information regarding crime or suspicious activity is asked to contact Redlands Police Dispatch at (909) 798-7681 ext. 1. Certain non-emergency crimes may also be reported online using the Redlands Police Department’s CopLogic reporting system at www.cityofredlands.org/reportcrime.

Redlands Police Department Reminds Drivers to Keep the Final Days of Summer Fun, Not Fatal Community News

A

s the end of summer approaches and families prepare for Labor Day celebrations, the Redlands Police Department reminds everyone to prioritize safety on the roads. Drivers are encouraged to make responsible choices behind the wheel by never driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.

“We want everyone to enjoy their end of Summer travels and Labor Day festivities, but it’s imperative to do so responsibly,” Redlands Police Cpl. Martin Gonzalez said. “Driving under the influence not only puts your life at risk but also endangers everyone else on the road. Our goal is to reduce preventable crashes and save lives.”

The Redlands Police Department offers the following tips to Go Safely: • Plan Ahead: If you know you’ll be drinking, arrange for a designated driver, use a ride-sharing service, taxi or public transportation.

• Buckle Up: Wearing a seatbelt is one of the simplest ways to protect yourself in the event of a crash.

• Stay Alert: Avoid distractions such as texting or eating while driving. Keep your focus on the road.

• Follow Speed Limits: Speeding reduces your reaction time and increases the severity of crashes.

• Watch for Pedestrians and Bicyclists: With more people enjoying outdoor activities, be extra vigilant and share the road responsibly.

• Take Breaks: If you’re traveling long distances, take regular breaks to rest and avoid fatigue.

To help keep our community safe, the Redlands Police Department will have additional officers on patrol Aug. 16 through Labor Day (Sept. 2) looking for drivers suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. The additional efforts to prevent impaired driving are part of a national enforcement campaign, Driver Sober or Get Pulled Over.

In addition to patrols, RPD will hold a DUI Checkpoint Saturday, Aug. 31, from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m. Sunday at an undisclosed location within the city.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 13,524 people were killed in drunk-driving crashes in 2022 — that’s one person every 39 minutes.

While drunk driving is a significant traffic safety problem, driving while impaired is not just from alcohol. Prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications and cannabis products may also impair. If you plan on drinking or taking medications with a driving warning label, let someone who is sober drive. If you see someone who appears to be driving while impaired, call 9-1-1.

Funding for this program is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

County News San Bernardino County Clerical Error Disqualifies Five City Council Candidates from November Ballot, Legal Challenges Possible

By Manny Sandoval

T

he Registrar of Voters (ROV) says it is collaborating with city and town clerks to address a clerical error that initially led five city council candidates to believe they had qualified for the Nov. 5 ballot when they had not.

The issue arose on Friday, Aug. 16, after the candidate filing period had closed. The ROV discovered the error, which impacted the evaluation of nomination petition signatures for city candidates. ROV staff reevaluated all petitions and identified eight candidates who were affected in total.

The error impacted candidates from the cities of Highland, Ri-

alto, Hesperia, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Twentynine Palms, and the Town of Apple Valley.

Following the reevaluation, it was determined that five of the eight candidates did not meet the required number of valid signatures to qualify for the ballot. The ROV promptly informed the relevant city clerks of these disqualifications. The disqualified candidates may pursue legal challenges to secure ballot access. Any legal action must be resolved by Aug. 29, after which no changes can be made to the ballot.

Three of the affected candidates were allowed additional time to gather signatures due to an extension of the candidate filing period, which runs

through 5 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 21. The deadline was extended in races where incumbents chose not to file for re-election.

The ROV addressed the situation by conducting follow-up audits to confirm the findings.

Moving forward, the agency will incorporate additional audits into its candidate filing and petition signature review processes to prevent similar issues.

The ROV says it remains committed to conducting elections in a fair, transparent, and accurate manner while maintaining strong partnerships with city clerks. The agency continues to provide support to local clerks and candidates as the election process progresses.

Oriental Fruit Fly Quarantine Lifted in Redlands Area, Among Other Regions Community News

T

hanks to the cooperation and diligence of residents and local agricultural officials, CDFA, working in coordination with the USDA, the Riverside County Agricultural Commissioner, and the San Bernardino County Agricultural Commissioner, has declared an end to the Oriental fruit fly quarantine in the Redlands-area following eradication of the invasive species.

The lifting of this quarantine signals the successful completion of a nearly year-long collaborative effort to eradicate four unique invasive fruit fly species (Tau, Queensland, Mediterranean and Oriental) from seven quarantine areas across seven California counties — San Bernardino, Riverside, Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Clara, Sacramento and Contra Costa.

“This was an unprecedented situation for California to experience this many active invasive fruit fly quarantines at one time,” said Victoria Hornbaker, director of CDFA’s Plant Health and Pest Prevention Services Division. “The response to these destructive invasive

species was an enormous effort, and thanks to the cooperation of residents, affected farmers, and our government partners at the local and federal levels, we’re incredibly proud to have successfully lifted all active invasive fruit fly quarantines in the state of California.”

The USDA made critical investments in the response with personnel and funding, and that commitment underscores the importance of ongoing investment in pest exclusion activities.

It’s important to remember that the threat of new fruit fly introductions remains. Left unchecked, they can endanger the state’s natural environment, agriculture, and economy. Agricultural officials urge residents to follow simple precautions and stay vigilant for signs of invasive species. To help prevent any future introductions, residents should: Cooperate with agricultural officials and allow them access to your garden to place traps, inspect plants, conduct necessary treatments or remove potentially infested produce.

Buy fruit trees and vegetable plants from licensed California nurseries. Purchasing agricultural goods from uncertified sources can spread invasive pests.

Source your plants locally and responsibly. To find a licensed nursery near you, visit CDFA’s Directory of Licensed Nurseries.

Inspect your garden for signs of invasive fruit flies or maggots and report any findings to CDFA at 1-800491-1899 or your local county agricultural commissioner’s office.

When entering the United States from another country, avoid bringing agricultural products — including fruits or vegetables. Help us protect our agricultural and natural resources and California’s unique biodiversity from invasive fruit flies — please Don’t Pack a Pest (www.dontpackapest.com) when traveling or mailing/receiving packages.

I

n a special celebration on August 13, San Bernardino County broke ground on the Kessler Park Dream Field.

Representatives from the Bloomington Municipal Advisory Council, Bloomington Little League, and community were present to celebrate the momentous occasion.

“I had the vision for creating a Dream

Field for our families right here in Bloomington,” said Supervisor Joe Baca, Jr. “If other cities can have one, then this community is just as deserving of a field where kids can hit home runs, where parents can cheer from the stands, and the community can make lasting memories.”

The $3.1 million investment will feature 42,700 square feet of turf, an 18-foot-high, 120-foot-long blue monster, and a batting cage, among other improvements. This project represents a significant enhance-

ment to Bloomington’s recreational facilities, providing a state-of-the-art environment for both players and spectators alike.

The upgrades will not only improve the experience for young athletes but also create a vibrant space where families and friends can come together to enjoy America’s favorite pastime.

“I’ve spent the past 6 years of my life on this field,” shared Bloomington Little League player, Sharilyn Bliss. “I’ve grown up here, made memories here and

I’m so excited to have an even better space for my teammates and me to play on.”

This extraordinary project would not have been possible without the leadership of Supervisor Baca, Jr., and the Board of Supervisors, the dedicated efforts of San Bernardino County’s Public Works Department – Special Districts, and the unwavering support of the Bloomington MAC and Bloomington Little League.

This collaboration has made dreams into reality.
