A lifelong educator, advocate, and patron of the arts, Dr. Garcia leaves behind an indelible legacy of service and inspiration. His life's work touched countless lives, and his dedication to education and the arts will be remembered for generations to come.

PHOTO GARCIA CENTER

Dr. Ernest Felix Garcia is survived by his wife Dr. Dorothy "Dottie" Garcia.

Dr. Garcia began his journey in education as a young boy in South Colton and remained passionate about learning and teaching throughout his life.

He was a pioneering force in the Rialto Unified School District (RUSD), where he introduced foreign language and Gifted And Talented Education (GATE) programs.

As the first Latino namesake in the Rialto Unified School District (Dr. Ernest Garcia Elementary School), his influence is still felt today.

Syeda Jafri, Rialto Unified School District communication media services agent, said, “Dr.

Ernest Garcia spent a majority of his selfless life as an education and child advocate. He never forgot his humble beginning in Colton.” She went on to describe him as an "icon of a man" whose legacy of excellence will continue in the RUSD.

Gloria Macias Harrison, Inland Empire Community News publisher emeritus, described Dr. Garcia as “a true Mexican American renaissance man.” She highlighted his various roles as a mentor, teacher, artist, and futurist. She also reminisced about the impact he had on her own life, saying, “He taught us what was important in the classroom and how we could engage our students.

It was probably the best training that I have ever received.”

Dr. Garcia's educational career began with an associate’s degree from San Bernardino Valley College (SBVC), where he majored in Spanish. His college career was interrupted by the Korean War, during which he served in the U.S. Air Force.

After completing his service, Garcia, cont. on next pg.

he earned a bachelor’s degree in Social Science from the University of California, Riverside, a master’s degree in School Administration and Curriculum from the University of Redlands, and a doctorate in Instructional Technology from the University of California, Los Angeles.

Garcia went on to teach in Barstow Unified School District (where he became a vice principal at 26 years old), RUSD, and Redlands Unified School District, and eventually teaching at Cal State San Bernardino, and served as dean of the College of Education before retiring in 1990.

Throughout his career, Dr. Garcia held various positions in ed-

ucation, including teacher, administrator, and professor. He served as a RUSD trustee and was inducted into SBVC's Hall of Fame in 1997.

Jorge Oswald Heredia, Garcia Center for the Arts Executive Director, expressed the community's sadness and gratitude for Dr. Garcia's contributions, saying, “We are saddened by the passing of our founder Ernie Garcia. He was passionate about promoting the arts in San Bernardino, and we are forever indebted to his work.”

The San Bernardino Garcia Center for the Arts is named for Dr. Ernest Garcia and his wife, Dr. Dorothy "Dottie" Garcia.

The couple lived in San Bernardino and remained active in their community.

In July 2020, Dr. Garcia retired as executive director from the Garcia Center for the Arts. Reflecting on his time at the center, he said, “After five years, I have chosen to retire, and I want to say thank you to the community.

Although I am retiring from the Garcia Center, I am not going to stop creating. I have three art projects waiting for me to tend to in my garage right now and the Garcia Center will also continue to flourish.”

As the community remembers Dr. Ernest F. Garcia, they celebrate a life dedicated to advocacy, education, and the arts. His passion and achievements continue to inspire those whose lives he touched, and his legacy will live on for generations to come.

By Manny Sandoval

ime for Change Foundation's 21st Annual Gala, "Unmasking the Future," is set to take place on April 14th from 6-9 PM at the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel in Ontario.

This star-studded masquerade event aims to raise $1 million to support the foundation's mission of empowering disenfranchised, low-income women and children, and building thriving communities through evidence-based programs and housing initiatives.

Executive Director Vanessa Perez shared the organization's goals for this year's gala, stating, "Our fundraising goal is $1 million. Every dollar raised impacts the women and children we serve.

We want to highlight the work of Time for Change Foundation and the women who have transformed their lives."

The event will also showcase upcoming initiatives at the foundation and recognize outstanding community members making a difference.

The funds raised will be applied towards the operations of Time for Change Foundation’s Black and Brown Opportunities for Profit Center and its three types of housing programs; including emergency housing, permanent supportive housing, and affordable housing.

Speaking about the theme of the gala, Perez explained, "Unmasking the future means revealing the potential and opportunities that lie ahead for the individuals and families we serve, as well as the communities we work in. By addressing

homelessness, we are unveiling a brighter future for everyone."

New attendees can expect an elegant Phantom of the Opera-inspired evening, complete with a red carpet entrance, beautifully decorated venue, cash bar, raffle opportunities, live music, a dueling piano session, and an awards ceremony. The Courageous Philanthropy Award will be presented to funders and foundations that have made significant contributions to combating homelessness.

For those interested in purchasing gala program advertisements (which will help them reach the $1 million goal) the deadline is Monday, April 10th, by the end of the business day.

The Word Yaamava’ is More Than Advertising

riving across Southern California, the signs and billboards that display different languages always catch my eye. It is a unique part of living here in southern California that we as Californians openly share our diversity and uniqueness with one another. Over the last year or so, a seemingly new language has appeared on signs visible to many drivers: Yaamava'. It stands out as something hard to place in its origin. I can picture drivers mouthing the word and saying, “what?”

The word Yaamava' represents so much more than the marketing of a resort and casino. It means that despite all that has occurred throughout history, an Indigenous culture and language remain indelibly part of this region.

The word, “Yaamava,” is far from new.

It is a Serrano word meaning the season

of spring and has been the name for the spring season for the Serrano since their creation. Today, it is how much of the wider world recognizes us, the Yuhaaviatam Clan of Marra'yam (Serrano) or the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians whose ancestral lands encompass most of this region. To us this word describes the season of rebirth and renewal for our people.

Changing the name of our first and most prominent economic development, San Manuel Casino to Yaamava’ Resort & Casino, put our native language and our culture front and center. While it may have challenged many with its unique spelling and meaning, our intent is clear: we want to share who we are.

Like other nations and peoples, we have a distinct language, a connection to the land, and a culture that grew out of the local environment. Culture is shared history, language, religion, and spirituality – a way of life. Our Yuhaaviatam culture is

rooted in the native plants of Southern California, which provide the gifts of life.

On our reservation, we will celebrate these plants at our Yaamava' celebration at the end each spring.

From the headwaters of the Santa Ana River near our reservation to the San Bernardino valleys and mountains, we begin the cycle again of harvesting plants for food, gathering grasses and reeds for basket weaving, and carefully picking the sources of our traditional medicine. The ability to freely move across our 7.4-million-acre ancestral territory is the essential way of life that sustained us since our creation before the mission and reservation system attempted to end our culture.

For more than 100 years, you would only hear the Serrano word for the spring season on reservations, until a level of successful economic development allowed us to begin to experience a sense of renewal and rebirth for our community.

This period of Yaamava' for our people is

We are moving past that period of being historically identified with the mission system applied by outsiders whose idyllic imaginings of the period do not match our living history of destruction and pain. We demonstrate our enduring connection to our culture by partnering with non-profits and local governments on projects that benefit communities and the environment within our ancestral territory.

More than a fleeting advertisement, Yaamava’ reminds us that we remain Yuhaaviatam through all times and seasons.

LLU researchers awarded over $5 million in grants from National Institutes of Health

PUBLIC MEETING

a chance to establish ourselves on our own terms with the Serrano language and culture as our foundation.

oma Linda University researchers received over $5 million in grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The grants support two separate research teams’ projects: one team will study the effects of maternal electronic cigarette vaping on babies’ abnormal brain development from a molecular level, and the other team will investigate why immune responses to prostate cancer vary by race and explore the potential for a new targeted treatment.

The NIH’s National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) awarded a five-year U01 grant of $5.4 million to Charles Wang, MD, PhD, MPH, director and professor of the Center for Genomics at Loma Linda University School of Medicine, and Daliao Xiao, DVM, PhD, a professor at the Lawrence D. Longo, MD Center for Perinatal Biology at LLU School of Medicine, to commence the project, “Genomic and epigenomic mechanisms of maternal e-cigarette-induced abnormal brain development.” The renewable grant falls under the NIDA Animal Genomics Program & Consortium.

Wang says the project's goal is to use cuttingedge genomic technologies, including single-cell sequencing and spatial genomics tools, to understand the mechanisms underlying maternal vaping-induced abnormal brain development in rats.

E-cigarettes are electronic nicotine delivery systems that have gained traction in the global market in the last decade and become more popular among pregnant women and adolescents.

Ultimately, Wang says investigating the genomic and epigenomic changes caused by maternal ecigarette vaping will provide valuable new insights into the effects of e-cigarettes on early central nervous system development.

“We hope our research findings will help explore promising molecular and cellular therapeutic targets for treating nicotine-induced brain damage,” he says.

Wang and Xiao collaborated on a recent study that used single-cell sequencing technologies based on an animal model, discovering that mothers' e-cigarette use during pregnancy disrupted the ratio of different brain neurons in their unborn PHOTO LLU babies.

epigenome — where brain cells store codes of chemical modifications to DNA.

LLU’s Center for Genomics, which launched in 2014 with Wang as its founding director, has published several papers in high-impact journals leading up to the grant, says Wang, including: six papers in Nature Biotechnology, six papers in Genome Biology, and two papers in Nature Communications.

"We are thrilled with how this funding lines up so well with our expertise,” Wang says. “Receiving this grant marks a major milestone and speaks to the caliber of research we conduct through the cutting-edge technologies at our Center for Genomics and Center for Perinatal Biology.”

Another branch of the NIH, the National Cancer Institute (NCI), awarded $437,000 in funds to three principal investigators: Carlos A. Casiano, PhD, associate director of LLU Center for Health Disparities and Molecular Medicine (CHDMM), and Frankis Almaguel, PhD, MD, director of LLU Molecular Imaging and Therapeutics Research Program, and Bhaskar Das, a professor at Long Island University.

Their study, “The role and theranostic potential of enolase in prostate cancer health disparities,” will investigate why the immune systems of men of African descent and men of European descent react differently against the glycolytic enzyme enolase, a protein found on the surface of prostate cancer cells. In parallel, Casiano says the team will explore the role of enolase in theranostics, a growing practice that pairs imaging with therapy to molecularly target and kill cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue.

“This is the first grant the NCI has awarded to LLU to explore the application of theranostics,” Casiano says. “We believe that leveraging the precision of theranostics care may increase health equity and accelerate the delivery of cutting-edge therapeutics to most at-risk groups.”

African American men are more likely to develop prostate cancer than other men, get prostate cancer at a younger age, and tend to have more advanced disease when found, Casiano says. They are also twice as likely to die from prostate cancer than other men.

IECN News

fter spending nearly 20 years as a stay-at-home mother, Diana Ellsworth put her nurturing skills to good use by pursuing her dream of a career in nursing.

While attending San Bernardino Valley College’s Nursing School, Diana was accepted into a sponsorship program through Dignity Health - Community Hospital San Bernardino (CHSB) where she found her second home. Upon graduation, she wholeheartedly accepted a position at CHSB for two years.

“I was 52 when I finally became a nurse, and I’ve

been here 11 years now,” says Diana who is an RN in the Telemetry Department. “I’ll stay here until I retire because I’m doing what I always wanted to do–helping people to get better.”

Outside of work, Diana enjoys sewing – a skill she learned from her grandmother and has turned it into an act of human kindness for staff and patients. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Diana started making hats and face masks for co-workers out of scrubs that were no longer needed. Many offered to pay her, but she refused.

Soon, Diana’s kindness spread throughout the hospital, reaching children in Community Hospital’s Children’s Subacute Center. Over the past years, she’s sewn comforting gifts for them, including blankets with

matching pillows for Christmas, and stuffed animal dogs during COVID-19.

“Diana spent hours of her personal time sewing 80 stuffed animals and blankets for every single child in our Pediatric Subacute Center,” recalls June Collison, CHSB Hospital President. “These stuffed animals brought the children joy and companionship during those times of isolation.”

“The kids live there, and if I can make something that can bring a smile to their faces and make them happy, that makes me feel good,” she says.

Diana has touched many lives and has been described by her nursing peers as the “epitome of kindness and giving.”

Alumna’s Quest For Academic “Redemption” Leads to Intriguing Career in Cybersecurity

IECN News

hen Chioma Nwagbala, MPA ’16, began Cal San Bernardino’s Master of Public Administration (MPA) program with a concentration in cybersecurity in 2013, she dubbed it her “redemption degree.”

As an undergraduate at the University of California, Irvine in 2008, she imagined pursuing a career in medicine, but soon decided chemistry wasn’t her strength. Thinking a career in law was a possibility, she began classes and then realized, “I liked criminology, but law was too dry.”

Ultimately, she earned a degree in Spanish with a minor in education, but concluded, “Teachers don’t get paid enough. They do a fantastic job, but they don’t pay teachers enough.

“I struggled a bit in my bachelor’s degree program because I didn’t really know what I wanted to do,” she notes.

After graduating in 2012 with a 2.97 GPA, she went back home to Eastvale, living with her parents. “Basically, for the next year, I was trying to figure out my life.”

When her parents proposed a graduate degree in cybersecurity, she was hesitant.

“How could they even suggest I work with computers?” she says with mock in-

dignation. Then, with a laugh, “I guess sometimes your parents know better.”

After being admitted to CSUSB’s MPA program, she immediately applied for a full scholarship offered through the Cybersecurity Center. Unfortunately, “I didn't get [it]. I didn’t have a 3.0 GPA. I think that’s probably one of the most disappointing things I’d ever experienced.

I cried at the mailbox,” she recalled.

So began the “redemption” degree – her second chance to excel academically.

With renewed determination, as she launched her master’s studies at CSUSB, she also began an associate degree in computer network administration and security management at Mt. San Antonio College.

“The master’s degree program had five classes for the concentration,” she explains. “I wanted more technical knowledge for when I started applying for jobs.

I was bouncing back and forth between two schools for three years. It was a crazy time.”

In addition to the academic demands, graduate students were required to complete an internship, an extremely competitive process, she says. “I think I put in hundreds of applications. As God would have it, I ended up with three internships.”

In winter quarter of 2015, she landed an

internship at the CSU Chancellor’s Office in Long Beach as a student assistant with information security, as well as an internship at the Jurupa Community Services District in information technology.

In the summer of 2015, she began a coveted 10-week internship with the Department of Justice (DOJ) in Chantilly, Virginia, working with the Cyber Division. When the internship ended, she was immediately hired for a position with the DOJ in Los Angeles.

“I’m definitely an overachiever,” she says, laughing. “And it truly was my redemption degree. By the time I graduated in 2016, I was in two honor societies, and I had a 3.69 GPA.”

After two years with the DOJ, she joined consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton as a government contractor, still working with the Justice Department but in security operations, and relocated to the Washington, D.C. metro area.

After about a year-and-a-half on the DOJ contract, she joined another contract doing cyber- financial intelligence reporting with the Department of Treasury Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.

While she enjoyed intelligence report-

ing, “I still wanted to get my hands dirty,” she says, and in January 2021, she joined what is now the Cyber Threat Management team at KPMG in Dallas, helping clients navigate cyber response and recovery as they build cyber resilience.

Reflecting on her journey, she’s come full circle since beginning the MPA program.

“Initially, I wanted to go into public service, which is why I pursued an MPA. I worked for the community services district – local government. Then I worked for the CSU, which is state government.

Then, for the DOJ – federal government.

From there, I went into federal contracting, and now I work in private industry.

Everything fit together in the end, but while it was happening, there were a lot of twists and turns,” she says, laughing.

Her advice for those considering a degree in cybersecurity?

“Things are always changing, so be ready to be a lifelong learner. Ask questions – you’re not going to know everything all the time,” she says. “I would encourage anybody, if you want to do it, just do it. Find ways to get yourself trained up, find ways to get involved as far as networking goes. I know sometimes it’s hard to just get your foot in the door, but it’s not impossible.”

Improve Water Conservation and Drought

T

Resiliency in the Inland Empire

IECN NEWS

oday, Rep. Pete Aguilar announced $2,500,000 of federal funding he secured for the Santa Ana River Enhanced Stormwater Recharge Project. This project will increase the amount of storm water from the Santa Ana River that can be captured and recharged from the Seven Oaks Dam. The water captured by this project in the San Bernardino Basin will help approximately 400,000 residents. With recent storms battering the Inland Empire, this project will play a key role in our region’s long-term drought resiliency and water-conservation efforts.

“Protecting our water supply is one of the most important issues we face as a region, state and nation,” said Rep. Pete Aguilar.

“With the latest surge of storms, California’s drought has been cut in half, but this is not a sustainable solution to our drought. This project will benefit over 400,000 people in our region and play a key role in our long-term conservation and drought resiliency efforts.”

“San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District is excited to move forward with this critical water supply project as it demonstrates our commitment to collaboration, regional partnership, innovation, and perseverance in getting hard things done. This proj-

ect is so unique because of its many integrated benefits; first and foremost it captures much-needed local stormwater during wet years for use during future dry years; it improves the long-term water quality of our groundwater; it supports and actually enhances endangered species habitat; and finally it serves as the foundation of our long-term climate resilience strategy for the upper Santa Ana River watershed,” said Heather Dyer, CEO/General Manager of the regional water agency which has been ensuring water supply to the area since 1954. “This is a generational investment in water infrastructure that will support the changing needs of our region’s population and environment for decades to come. I’m honored to be part of it,” she added.

“In a state like California where every drop of water is precious, cooperative management is essential.

As a partner with San Bernardino Valley for more than five decades, Western Water is proud that our region is leading by example and working together,” said Western Water’s Board President Mike Gardner. “Local projects like the Enhanced Recharge Project are needed to capture and store more stormwater when we get it, so we can stretch our resources during longer, hotter and drier weather conditions.”

“As its first CEO, Carlos established the organization, including a set of processes to help us move forward,” said Dr. Kim Wilcox, GIA Board Chair and Chancellor of UC Riverside. “I’m personally grateful for his efforts.”

“Dr. Ayala brought a deep knowledge of the education landscape, strong leadership, and a passion for positively impacting student lives to our organization,” said Ann Marie Sakrekoff, COO of Growing Inland Achievement. “He is leaving GIA in a great position to succeed in our next chapter.

Under Dr. Ayala’s leadership, GIA has become nationally recognized.”

GIA’s shared vision is that by 2035, San Bernardino and Riverside Counties will be widely recognized for their educated workforce, thriving communities and vibrant economy that creates prosperity for all.

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 Tenant: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction.

There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (877) 518-5700, or visit this internet website www.realtybid.com, using the file number assigned to this case 20-4605 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee.

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that Vanessa Sauseda be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held on May 18, 2023 at 9:00 AM in Dept.

No. S36 located at 247 W. Third St., San Bernardino, CA 92415.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

San Bernardino County Fire: Heroes in Helmets as Agency Launches Large Animal Rescue Team and Immediately Saves 47 Livestock

S

By Manny Sandoval

an Bernardino County has taken a significant step towards ensuring the safety and well-being of its animal population by launching the Large Animal Rescue Team, a specialized division dedicated to rescuing animals in need during natural disasters. The team is based out of Fire Station 305 in Hesperia, California, which also houses an Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) unit.

Natural disasters in California, such as wildfires and earthquakes, have been increasing in frequency and intensity over recent years. According to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, over 4 million acres were burned in 2020 alone. These disasters often leave countless animals, both wild and domestic, in need of rescue.

"The new equipment and trailer are vital for rescuing large animals where conventional fire & rescue tools are unable to assist," says Battalion Chief Mike McClintock. "Specialized tools, harnesses, and equipment will allow firefighters to safely rescue horses, cows, or other large livestock." The team has a 400pound realistic horse prop to facilitate training, ensuring they are prepared for real-life rescue scenarios.

The Large Animal Rescue Team's jurisdiction extends throughout San Bernardino County, and it can also be activated in neighboring areas.

In March, the team was activated in the community of Muscoy (suburb of San Bernardino), where they rescued 17 large animals stuck in deep mud. In addition to the large animals, crews rescued 30 medium-sized animals.

The team works in close collaboration with the USAR unit, which is trained to respond to a wide range of emergency situations. "Urban Search and Rescue teams respond to events such as earthquakes and other incidents that cause widespread damage to a variety of structures and entrap up to hundreds or thousands of people," explains McClintock.

The USAR team has recently been deployed for two weeks during the unprecedented storms in local mountains, providing structural triage, shoring, and rescue operations in affected areas.

Chief McClintock emphasizes the importance of inter-agency cooperation and training: "USAR personnel this week have been providing in-service training to area crews to familiarize our firefighters with the new equipment."

As natural disasters continue to be a significant concern for Californians, the Large Animal Rescue Team's presence provides an essential safety net for the animal population, ensuring that countless lives are saved in the face of adversity.

Their devotion to their mission is a heartwarming reminder of the strength and resilience of the human spirit, and the importance of community in times of crisis.

California Restaurant Foundation’s Resilience Fund Returns With Larger Grants and Expanded Priorities

IECN News

he California Restaurant Foundation (CRF), a nonprofit focused on investing in and empowering California restaurants and their workforce, has proudly partnered with the state’s energy companies to bring back the third consecutive Restaurants Care® Resilience Fund. This year’s fund totals $2.1 million, making it the largest Resilience Fund program to date, allowing CRF to increase grants to $5,000.

Due to the generosity of SoCalGas, the PG&E Corporation Foundation (PG&E Foundation) and San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E), CRF expects to help more than 360 independent

restaurant owners across California build more resilient businesses for the long-term.

Resilience Fund applications will be open from April 15, 2023 to May 7, 2023 and can be found at www.restaurantscare.org/resilience. Grants will be available to all California-based restaurant owners located in the utility companies’ service areas that have less than five units and less than $3 million in revenue. Priority will be given to restaurants who have yet to receive a grant; however, previous recipients are encouraged to re-apply.

While last year’s Resilience Fund grants could be used on retention bonuses and equipment

upgrades, this year’s $5,000 grants can be applied to technology adoption, equipment upgrades, employee onboarding and retention, or unforeseen hardships. The expanded priorities reflect the Resilience Fund’s commitment to providing California’s vibrant restaurant community with the financial support needed to build stronger, more resilient businesses that will continue to feed and contribute to their local communities for many years to come.
