A special guest appearance by Clark Jr., a Carter HS graduate, and a three-time Pro Bowler as a defensive lineman with the Green Bay Packers, wowed the audience as he surprised attendees with his presence in the theatre hall. His presence added an extra layer of excitement and inspiration to the event.

With his family by his side, Clark Jr. took the stage to deliver an inspiring message about working hard and pursuing your dreams.

There was a lot to celebrate at the event. Students from Jehue Middle School’s Black Student Union kicked off the event with a moving rendition of the Black National Anthem, setting the tone for an afternoon filled with talent and inspiration.

Student performers from Kordyak Elementary School, Curtis Elementary School, Werner Elementary School, and Kelley Elementary School took the stage to honor unsung heroes of African American history through music, dance, and performances.

Reverend Samuel Casey, Executive Director of COPE (Congregations Organized for Prophetic Engagement) and Pastor at New Life Christian Church, delivered a powerful keynote speech, urging everyone to dream and make a difference in their communities. His uplifting message emphasized the power of all of us to create positive change.

The event concluded with a stirring performance by poet Brandon Allen, who captivated the audience with his poignant words and powerful delivery. Allen's poem served as a fitting finale to an afternoon of celebration.

The celebration of Black History Month has been ongoing throughout the RUSD during February.

Schools across the RUSD have organized a variety of activities to commemorate the month.

Kelley Elementary School hosted its third annual Black History Bee, where students dressed as key figures from the Harlem Renaissance competed in a Black History Bee.

Meanwhile, Morgan Elementary School and Kordyak Elementary School treated students to Black History laser shows, giving students an engaged way to experience the cultural heritage of African Americans.

At Morris Elementary School, students engaged in daily morning facts and music sessions focusing on powerful messages by Black artists.

The culmination of their efforts was the school's annual Black History Month Celebration on February 23rd, a testament to the importance of education and reflection during this significant month.

Schools also made Black History a part of the daily activities on campus. For example, Curtis and Garcia Elementary Schools incorporated Black History facts into their morning announcements, providing students with valuable insights into the achievements and contributions of African Americans throughout history.

Myers Elementary School also hosted a captivating Black History Animatronic Show, inside the school’s Innovation Lab, offering students research and share information about prominent figures in Black history with an immersive show.

And the celebrations didn’t stop at school sites.

RUSD’s Nutrition Services hosted a festive Black History celebration on February 15 that featured history, speeches, awards, and performances.

As Black History Month draws to a close, these activities stand as testaments to the profound impact of celebrating and honoring African American voices and experiences across time.

Blink trainers are committed to providing a fun and educational experience, helping participants develop confidence and skills in the weight room. "Learning the fundamentals early can have a lasting positive impact on their lives," said a representative from Blink Fitness.

The initiative is part of Blink Fitness's commitment to fostering an inclusive fitness community and encouraging more women and girls to explore the benefits of weight lifting. Both the "Girls in the Weight Room" class and the Empower Hour sessions are open to the public, and participants do not need to be Blink Fitness members to attend.

Ann Martgan and San Manuel Lead the Charge in Exposing Diverse Communities to Public Safety Careers

I

By Manny Sandoval

n the world of public safety, where diversity is often lacking, Ann Martgan shines as a trailblazer for change. As the EMS Operations Manager for the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians Fire Department, Martgan is not just one of the few women of color in a leadership position nationally, she is also a fervent advocate for fostering diversity in the emergency medical services (EMS) field.

Only 30% of EMS professionals in the U.S. are women in the U.S. An even smaller number of EMS professionals identify as black. Approximately 5% of EMTs and 3% of paramedics identify as black and from those percentages, there are only a handful of women of color in the nation who are leaders of EMS operations.

Martgan's journey in public safety began 19 years ago, inspired by her experience as a teenager in an EMS explorers program. "I fell in love with the ability to serve other folks and never looked back," she reflects.

Her passion was ignited during a car extraction exercise on a rainy day, where she realized her potential to make a difference. "In that moment, I knew I wanted to help people forever," she says.

Now, also a professor at her alma mater, Crafton Hills College, Martgan has developed career outreach programs to expose students to the profession. She emphasizes the importance of early exposure to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and public safety industries to create a more inclusive future.

"The younger we can expose young people to this industry, the greater possibility they can see themselves in the seat," she asserts.

Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter @IECommunityNews

Martgan is acutely aware of the underrepresentation of women and people of color in public safety. "There are a lot of EMS managers, but only a few are female women of color," she notes. She believes that having diverse perspectives is critical to understanding and overcoming the barriers that prevent greater diversity in the workforce.

To address these challenges, Martgan has been instrumental in developing programs like the Allied Health and Medical Careers Day at Crafton Hills College. Over the last decade, this initiative has seen over 1,000 women participate, empowering them to pursue careers in public safety. She also highlights the importance of outreach days to show young women their potential in STEM and emergency services.

Martgan's efforts are supported by the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians' commitment to volunteerism and philanthropy.

The enterprise’s Team Member Philanthropy Program encourages employees to volunteer (with pay) to support a cause or organization that is close to their heart, and successfully logged over 1,800 hours in 2022.

The lack of diversity in public safety is a complex issue, deeply intertwined with challenges in education, training, and accessibility. Martgan, who has been teaching at Crafton since 2007, strives to increase access and raise awareness for underrepresented communities.

To this end, the EMT programs at Crafton have launched satellite programs in underserved areas, effectively bridging the gap and creating pathways for more diverse participation in the field.

Free Training Prog rams for SB County Caregivers to Address Need for Specialized Skills on Alzheimer's and More

Free training courses are launching this January for caregivers in San Bernardino County.

These multi-week, competencybased training programs are offered at no cost to the county's In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) providers by the Center for Caregiver Advancement (CCA) through a grant from the California Workforce Development Board (CWDB) and High Road Training Partnership (HRTP).

Caregivers can enroll in one of three programs: IHSS Essentials, Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementia (ADRD), and Caregiver Resiliency / Emergency Preparedness. The sessions will be offered in English and Spanish.

The Essentials course will teach caregivers about medication safety, nutrition, assistance with activities of daily living, and communication skills. Caregivers in the ADRD course will learn how to recognize signs of Alzheimer's, as well as how to manage symptoms such as hallucination, sundowning, and behavioral changes.

A

The Caregiver Resiliency course will help caregivers with climate-related emergency preparedness and response and how to recover from post-disaster trauma.

Henrene Barris, an IHSS provider in San Bernardino, is looking forward to the training.

"It is important for in-home caregivers to have training programs available so we can provide quality care. CCA's curriculum is so detailed and relevant. The multiweek format allows for more interaction, more time for learning, and more knowledge to be shared," says Barris, who helped shape the project as a member of the Advisory Committee.

In addition to providing these three programs to San Bernardino's IHSS caregivers, CCA will conduct a randomized control trial in partnership with researchers affiliated with the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL) North America at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). This will be the first RCT on IHSS training.

Building on CCA's existing research, the study will lay the foundation for policy change that will recognize worker specializations, improve worker retention, create advancement within the home care workforce, and secure long-term funding for caregiver training.

"We are excited to be a part of the first-ever randomized evaluation of training for IHSS

providers. We are looking forward to studying the impacts on the workforce of caregivers who receive the training as well as the individuals who are cared for by the caregivers. The IHSS program and the innovative training provided by the Center for Caregiver Advancement represent promising models for other states around the country that are considering new programs to support in-home caregiving," says Matt Notowidigdo, Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and Co-Scientific Director of J-PAL North America.

UC San Francisco will conduct an impact study on the Alzheimer's program. CCA is the only organization within California utilizing an evidence-informed curriculum that has already been tested and delivered to thousands of IHSS providers in California.

CCA links skill development with increased wages: Caregivers will be paid their hourly wages for their time in training. Those who complete the program can earn between $700 and $1,400.

The Center for Caregiver Advancement is the largest provider of training for caregivers in California and has trained more than 20,000 nursing home workers and in-home caregivers. http://www.advancecaregivers.or g

The "Worker Shor tage" Myth Depresses Black Wealth

By Roy Beck, community member

merica's business elites have used immigration as a tool to avoid hiring Black Americans for the past two centuries.

This pattern of discrimination has depressed African Americans' employment and wages -- and is a significant cause of persistent racial wealth gaps.

The trend began before the Civil War. By the early 1800s, many Northern states had banned slavery and were home to substantial numbers of free Black workers. But starting in the 1820s, northern employers increasingly sought cheaper white immigrant workers from Europe -- which stalled Black economic momentum.

After the Civil War, former slaves began migrating to northern states to staff the factories of a rapidly industrializing nation. This led to huge jumps in African American skills, incomes, and even business ownership.

Southern plantations and businesses despaired of their dwindling source of cheap labor. But by the 1880s, they were rescued by the grand political and eco-

nomic bargaining that resulted in the Ellis Island-era "Great Wave of Immigration." Each year over the next four decades, an average of nearly 600,000 immigrants flowed primarily into northern labor markets.

That largely blocked the flow of Black workers from the South. In fact, many former slaves and their families moved back to the lower-wage South after they were displaced by desperate immigrants willing to accept low wages and appalling working conditions.

By 1910, about 90% of all African Americans were still laboring as farm workers and household servants in the South.

Finally, in 1924, public pressure -- including from notable Black leaders of the day like A. Philip Randolph and W. E. B. Du Bois -- forced Congress to drastically reduce annual immigration.

The ensuing tightness in northern labor markets created demand for underemployed, underpaid southern workers.

Some six million African Americans left the South during the Great Migration made possible by tighter labor markets.

By the 1960s, the share of Black households that were considered middle class had expanded from two in 10 to seven in 10.

10 working-age African Americans with only high school diplomas don't have jobs. Many would jump at the chance to work, if recruited at fair wages and working conditions.

In response, federal commissions in the 1970s called on Congress to reduce immigration, but lawmakers instead heeded the concerns of employer lobbies that expressed fears of "worker shortages."

Today, the median household wealth of descendants of American slavery remains much less than that of recent immigrants -- and less than 15% that of the descendants of European immigrants and settlers.

But the economic boom didn't last.

Congress reopened mass migration in the 1960s, and -- just as before -- economic progress ceased for most Black Americans.

Instead of viewing tight job markets as an opportunity to bring more Black Americans into the workforce and close racial wealth gaps, Congress chose to enable businesses to fill jobs with foreign workers.

In the decades since, the U.S. government has offered lifetime work authorization to more than 30 million immigrants, not counting millions of foreign workers who have entered the country illegally.

The United States doesn't have a worker shortage. Approximately four in

For two centuries, the labor shortage myth has been used to justify immigration policies that disadvantage Black Americans.

Given our history, claims of a "worker shortage" should put any racially sensitive American on high alert.

Amazon Cited for Serious Health and Safety Violations at San Bernardino Warehouse Community News

n groundbreaking citations, the Division of Occupational Safety and Health, or Cal/OSHA, cited Amazon five times including two serious violations for endangering workers in the high heat.

Last summer, after weeks of scorching temperatures and poor safety protections, workers who are members of the Inland Empire Amazon Workers United (IEAWU) at the Amazon KSBD air hub in San Bernardino filed a complaint with the state agency. Cal/OSHA immediately opened an investigation conducting multiple on-site inspections and interviews with workers.

St. Bernardine Medical Center Achieves Designation as Thrombectomy Capable Stroke Center

Community News

ignity Health St. Bernardine Medical Center is proud to announce its designation as a Thrombectomy Capable Stroke Center, underscoring the Hospital’s commitment to providing advanced and comprehensive stroke care to our community.

Thrombectomy is a life-saving procedure that involves the removal of blood clots from the brain, significantly improving outcomes for stroke patients. As a Thrombectomy Capable Stroke Center, St. Bernardine has met rigorous standards and criteria set forth by regulatory bodies, demonstrating its ability to deliver timely and specialized care to individuals experiencing acute stroke symptoms.

"We are incredibly proud to announce St. Bernardine Medical Center’s achievement of becoming a Thrombectomy Capable Stroke Center”, shares Doug Kleam, Hospital President.

“This designation reflects our unwavering commitment to advancing healthcare and underscores our dedication to providing the highest level of care to our community. The ability to perform thrombectomy procedures positions us at the forefront of stroke care, empowering us to make

a meaningful impact on the lives of our patients.”

To be eligible for the certification, the hospital was required to meet strict guidelines that include performing EVT on a minimum of 15 patients in the past year, or 30 patients in the past two years, and the capability to perform EVT around the clock, seven days a week. The hospital’s primary neurointerventionalists—the physicians who routinely perform emergency mechanical thrombectomy—also must meet the highest standards of subspecialty training.

"Becoming a Thrombectomy Capable Stroke Center is a significant milestone for St. Bernardine Medical Center. This designation reflects our unwavering commitment to delivering high-quality, life-saving care to stroke patients in our community”, states Dr. Piotr Bzdyra, Stroke Medical Director. “We are proud to be at the forefront of stroke care and will continue to prioritize excellence in patient outcomes."

This designation is a testament to St. Bernardine’s dedication to advancing healthcare and improving the lives of those we serve. We look forward to continuing to meet the evolving needs of our community through innovation, compassion, and excellence in healthcare.

Cal/OSHA substantiated the majority of workers’ concerns, finding that outdoor workers did not have adequate access to drinking water or shade nor were supervisors and employees adequately trained to keep workers safe in the heat.

“We saw that Amazon was more concerned with loading and unloading the planes as fast as possible than with our safety,” said Regina Hermann, who works on the ramp at the Amazon air hub. “We work out on the tarmac without enough shade and sometimes without enough water. Last summer was scary. It got so hot and we did not always have enough water to drink or time to let our bodies cool down. We sometimes had to crouch or stand under the planes for shade. We knew we had to do something before someone was seriously injured.”

In the citation, Cal/OSHA investigators wrote: “The employer utilized the shadow under the Boeing 767-300 as shade in the ramp area for employees to take their preventable cooldown rest. The employees only stand and are not able to rest and sit in a normal posture while under the aircraft for preventive

Daily temperatures in San Bernardino are increasingly over 90 and even 100°F. Last July the temperature reached as high as 106°F on July 25. Ramp workers at the San Bernardino air hub are regularly exposed to this extreme heat working outside on the tarmac, often in the blazing sun. Inside the warehouse, workers also complained about hazardous conditions with poor air circulation and very strenuous physical workloads.

The citations come after workers with IEAWU have repeatedly called for safe working conditions from Amazon during high heat. Workers have organized multiple delegations to Amazon management to demand better protections for their safety, including shaded areas with seating for everyone working outside, consistent heat break practices, and the right to take preventative cool-down breaks as needed. In 2021, IEAWU documented extremely high temperatures at KSBD and demanded better protections.

They won some improvements, including new break areas and fans in some indoor areas, but after seeing inconsistencies and dangerous conditions during the recent heat wave, workers are taking action again to protect themselves.

“It takes a tremendous amount of courage to stand up to a company as large and as powerful as Amazon. Workers in San Bernardino did that and they won,” said Tim Shadix, attorney and legal director of the Warehouse Worker Resource Center, which assisted the workers with the complaint. “Their actions will have a positive impact on the health and safety of thousands more people, “On its own Amazon was failing to provide these basic protections for workers against the heat, but workers at the air hub used their power to hold this behemoth accountable.”

tempted to dodge out of the way.

When the victim attempted to escape, the suspect repositioned his vehicle and accelerated toward him a second time, striking him again and pinning him against another vehicle.

Singh was arrested at the scene.

He is being held at Central Detention Center in San Bernardino in lieu of $1 million bail.

The victim was transported to the hospital with broken bones and an abrasion to his head.

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.

San Ber nardino Fir efighters Tame Fierce Commercial and Residential F lames in Back-to-Back Downtown Blazes

The residential structure caught fire on the 200 block of East Olive Avenue at 9:36 AM on February 24.

By Manny Sandoval

an Bernardino County Fire Department (SBCoFD) crews were stretched thin on February 24 as they responded to two structure fires that erupted within minutes of each other in the downtown area of San Bernardino. The simultaneous fires, one residential and the other commercial, demanded a rapid and coordinated response to prevent further damage and ensure public safety.

The first blaze was reported at 9:36 a.m. in the 200 block of East Olive Street. "911 callers stated smoke and fire were emanating from a home," said Battalion Chief Mike Mcclintock, SBCoFD's Public Information Officer.

Engine 221, already in the vicinity, arrived on the

A mile away, a commercial structure fire on the 300 block of West 4th Street was reported at 9:39 AM.

scene within two minutes to find heavy smoke billowing from a single-story residence. Firefighters quickly launched an attack, battling the flames and conducting a thorough search for any occupants.

"Despite barred windows and heavy smoke conditions, our crews were able to knock the fire down rapidly, thanks to their swift response," Mcclintock added. The fire was successfully contained, with no victims found inside the home. A total of four engines, a truck company, a medic squad, a fire investigator, and a battalion chief responded to the scene.

Shortly thereafter, at 9:39 a.m., another call dispatched crews to the 300 block of West 4th Street, where a commercial building was reported ablaze. Firefighters arrived to find smoke emerging from a 20,000

square-foot, three-story commercial structure.

They quickly entered the smoke-filled building, working to locate and extinguish the fire, which was confined to the first floor within 15 minutes of their arrival. "Two occupants were discovered inside the vacant building and were safely evacuated," Mcclintock reported. The response to this fire involved six engines, two truck companies, a medic squad, a fire investigator, and a battalion chief.

Fortunately, no injuries were reported in either incident. Although the fires occurred close to each other, they appear to be unrelated. The cause and origin of each fire are currently under investigation by SBCoFD investigators. To maintain uninterrupted fire and EMS coverage for the area, multiple "move-up" engines were dispatched to cover the vacant fire stations.
