he Inland Empire Community Foundation (IECF) marked a significant milestone on Saturday as it celebrated its first anniversary of the CIELO Fund. Hosted by Cal State San Bernardino, the event kicked off Latino Heritage Month with a bang, announcing that the fund has raised over $1 million in its inaugural year to uplift and invest in the Inland Empire's Latino community.

IECF President and CEO Michelle Decker expressed her gratitude, stating, "Thank you for being here to celebrate the success of the Cielo fund. It's a testament to our board, partners, and community and a reminder of our great potential when we come together for our diverse community.

It's about changing lives and giving opportunities to people in our region. This impact is not just being felt here in the IE, but also in Congress."

Senator Alex Padilla lauded the organization's efforts, saying, "I couldn't be prouder of your work to uplift Latinos in the area.

Our democracy works much better when a diverse number of people participate. We must continue to support Latino-led businesses in the Inland Empire. Because of you, 25 Latino-led organizations have garnered $280k in just two years."

Jesse Melgar, CIELO Fund Founding Chair and IECF Board Member reflected on the fund's rapid growth. "It's hard to believe this was just launched one year ago. We are cultivating Latino opportunity.

I'm proud of our collective impact through grant-making, scholarships, and narrative changes. With your help, we were able to invest $280k in 25 IE Latino-led nonprofits in the region."

The event also highlighted the launch of a segment with KVCR called "IE Latino Voices," hosted by Yvette Walker. The segment allows inaugural grantees to share the history of their organizations and amplify their stories.

Angel Rodriguez, Associate Vice Chancellor of Government Relations and Strategic Communications for the San Bernardino Community College District, acknowledged the scholarship recipients.

The event underscored the importance of representation and investment in the Latino community. Latinos makeup 52% of the region but only hold 13% of seats on leadership boards. By 2060, Latinos are projected to be 74% of the population.

The $1 million raised by the CIELO Fund in its first year has already made a significant impact.

It has granted $280k to 25 Latino-led organizations, awarded $125k in scholarships to 83 Latino students, launched new narrative partnerships, and initiated new research to better support Latino families in the region.

Saturday's event was a testament to the power of community, collaboration, and the importance of investing in the future of the Inland Empire's Latino population.

n a heartwarming gesture of community support, the San Bernardino Loma Linda Crossroads Rotary, in collaboration with city officials, gifted over 40 students at the iconic Woodrow Wilson Elementary School with backpacks filled with essential school supplies on Friday, September 15th.

The event, held in the school's cafeteria, was marked by the presence of Colton's Mayor Frank Navarro, who expressed his admiration for the students.

“It’s a great day. We have something of value for you, as you offer so much every day that you’re in class," Navarro said.

He emphasized the importance of the day, "You’re the important ones."

The students' excitement was palpable. Upon hearing that the mayor was in their midst, they eagerly looked around, with some exclaiming, “The mayor is here! Which one is the mayor?”

A welcomed return to Rialto! Emmy Award-winner Vanessa Rumbles graciously signs autographs for a delighted Kordyak Elementary School parent and student at the 16th Annual Family Summit on September 9.

Attor ney General Bonta Announces $49 Million Settlement with K aiser for Illegal Disposal of Hazardous Waste, Medical Waste, and Protected Patient Infor mation

Community News

n partnership with six district attorneys, California Attorney General Rob Bonta today announced a settlement with Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc., and Kaiser Foundation Hospitals (collectively “Kaiser”) resolving allegations that the healthcare provider unlawfully disposed of hazardous waste, medical waste, and protected health information at Kaiser facilities statewide.

As part of the settlement, Kaiser will be liable for a total of $49 million and be required to take significant steps to prevent future unlawful disposals.

“The illegal disposal of hazardous and medical waste puts the environment, workers, and the public at risk. It also violates numerous federal and state laws,” said Attorney General Rob Bonta. “As a healthcare provider, Kaiser should know that it has specific legal obligations to properly dispose of medical waste and safeguard patients’ medical information. I am pleased that Kaiser has been cooperative with my office and the district attorneys’ offices, and that it took immediate action to address the alleged violations.”

The settlement is the result of undercover inspections conducted by the district attorneys' offices of dumpsters from 16 different Kaiser facilities. During those inspections, the district attorneys' offices reviewed the contents of unsecured dumpsters destined for disposal at publicly accessible landfills, finding hundreds of items of hazardous and medical waste (aerosols, cleansers, sanitizers, batteries, electronic wastes, syringes, medical tubing with body fluids, and pharmaceuticals) and over 10,000 paper records containing the information of over 7,700 patients.

The California Department of Justice subsequently joined the district attorneys and expanded the investigation of Kaiser’s disposal practices further throughout the state. In response to this joint law enforcement investigation, Kaiser immediately hired a third-party consultant and conducted over 1,100 trash audits at its facilities in an effort to improve compliance. Kaiser also modified its operating procedures to improve its handling, storage, and disposal of waste.

Kaiser is headquartered in Oakland, California and operates over 700 facilities statewide, making it the largest healthcare provider in California. Kaiser provides healthcare to approximately 8.8 million Californians, as well as members of the public who seek emergency care from Kaiser facilities. In announcing today’s settlement, Attorney General Bonta is joined by the district attorneys of

Alameda, San Bernardino, San Francisco, San Joaquin, San Mateo, and Yolo counties.

“As a major corporation in Alameda County, Kaiser Permanente has a special obligation to treat its communities with the same bedside manner as its patients,” said Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price. “Dumping medical waste and private information are wrong, which they have acknowledged. This action will hold them accountable in such a way that we hope means it doesn’t happen again.”

“I am confident that this case shows the residents of San Bernardino County that our Office will not stand by as hospitals and other medical clinics dispose of medical waste including biohazards, hazardous waste and personal health information into our landfills, jeopardizing medical confidentiality,” said San Bernardino County District Attorney Jason Anderson. “Deputy District Attorney’s Stephanie Weissman and Supervising Deputy District Attorney Doug Poston dedicated years of their time and expertise to ensure the residents of our County are protected from the mishandling of medical waste and Kaiser policies are improved to safeguard the public moving forward."

“My office takes patient privacy and the protection of the environment very seriously,” said San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins. “Hazardous waste, medical waste, and confidential patient information must be disposed of properly. When it is not, we will not hesitate to take action. Protecting patient privacy and the environment is just as important as protecting public safety.”

“This resolution further protects the health and safety of the residents of San Joaquin County and the state as a whole,” said San Joaquin County District Attorney Ron Freitas. “The unlawful disposal of hazardous medical waste has no place in this county, or any county, and the mishandling of confidential patient information will not be tolerated. The settlement with Kaiser places the appropriate safeguards to ensure that this never happens again.”

“As the largest healthcare provider in the state, Kaiser has an extraordinary responsibility to the public and to its own patients to ensure that hazardous waste, potentially infectious human waste materials, and highly sensitive patient health information are handled according to state laws and not sent to municipal landfills not equipped to handle those wastes,” said San Mateo County District Attorney Stephen M. Wagstaffe. “Our Environmental Unit

As part of the settlement, Kaiser:

Will pay $47.250 million. That amount includes $37,513,000 in civil penalties; $4,832,000 in attorneys’ fees and costs; and $4,905,000 for supplemental environmental projects, primarily environmental prosecutor training.

Must pay an additional $1.75 million in civil penalties if, within 5 years of the entry of the final judgment, Kaiser has not spent $3.5 million at its California facilities to implement enhanced environmental compliance measures to ensure compliance with relevant provisions of the law that are alleged to have been violated.

Must retain an independent third-party auditor — approved by the Attorney General’s Office and the district attorneys — who will: perform no less than 520 trash compactor audits at Kaiser’s California facilities to help ensure that regulated wastes (including items containing protected health information) are not unlawfully disposed of; and conduct at least 40 programmatic field audits each year, for a period of five years after entry of the final judgment, to evaluate Kaiser’s compliance with policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with applicable laws related to hazardous waste, medical waste, and protected health information.

Kaiser’s unlawful disposals are alleged to violate California’s Hazardous Waste Control Law, Medical Waste Management Act, Confidentiality of Medical Information Act, Customer Records Law, and Unfair Competition Law. The disposals are also alleged to violate the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, known as HIPAA. In 2014, the California Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against Kaiser after it delayed notifying its employees about an unencrypted USB drive that was discovered at a Santa Cruz thrift store. The USB drive contained over 20,000 employee records. Kaiser paid $150,000 in penalties and attorneys' fees, and agreed to comply with California's data breach notification law in the future, provide notification of any future breach on a rolling basis, and implement additional training regarding the sensitive nature of employee records. In addition, Kaiser has been the subject of prior enforcement actions by local prosecutors for mismanagement of regulated wastes.

DRIVERS • Do not speed, and slow down at intersections. Be prepared to stop for pedestrians at marked and unmarked crosswalks.

• Avoid blocking crosswalks while waiting to make a right-hand turn.

• Never drive impaired.

PEDESTRIANS • Be predictable. Use signalized crosswalks where drivers may anticipate foot traffic.

• Watch for approaching vehicles and practice due care crossing the street. At 30 mph, a driver needs at least 90 feet to stop.

• Make it easier for drivers to see you at night – wear light colors, reflective material and use a flashlight.

• Be careful crossing streets or entering crosswalks at night or on busier streets with higher speed limits.

Los Osos High School's Third Annual Heritage Festival Celebrates Diversity and Cultivates Future Business Leaders, Community Invited

By Manny Sandoval

os Osos High School's Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA), in collaboration with the school’s choir department, is set to host its Third Annual Heritage Festival on Friday, September 22nd, from 4-9 PM.

The event promises a rich tapestry of cultural experiences and aims to raise funds to support students' participation in forthcoming leadership conferences.

The festival, located at 6001 Milliken Ave, will feature 13 cuisines from clubs on campus and food trucks, allowing attendees to embark on a gastronomic journey worldwide.

From the savory mac and cheese and fried chicken by the Black Student Union to the sweet delights of turon and lumpia by the Filipino club, there's something for every palate.

Last year's festival saw vendors offering boba drinks, hot chocolate, warm tea, Japanese taiyaki treats, and more. This year promises a broader representation of cultures, with clubs selling cultural items and sourcing products from local businesses.

Raghu Chowdhry, FBLA Vice President of Finance and a proud Los Osos student, emphasized the event's significance. "Diversity is something we celebrate at Los Osos High School, in Rancho Cucamonga, and across the IE. In our classrooms and communities, you experience a mosaic of cultures.

The funds raised from the festival will help subsidize FBLA leadership conferences at the state and national levels. "We don't want financial burdens to be a reason why students can't participate in these transformative experiences," Chowdhry added. Each student requires about $1,200 to participate in all the conferences, which include trips to Santa Clara, Anaheim, and Orlando, Florida, this academic year.

The next conference, the Leadership Development Institute in Santa Clara, is scheduled for October 20th-22nd.

Sept. 29 at Cal State San Bernardino: LEAD Summit XII Focuses on the Intersection of Education and Violence

iolence affects everyone, yet some communities suffer more acutely than others. For example, some of the deadliest mass shootings in recent U.S. history have occurred in Latino communities. And as it is a major public health issue, it also intersects with education in epic proportions, which creates barriers to learning in so many ways.

To that end, the Latino Education and Advocacy Days Project will examine that issue when it hosts its LEAD Summit XII, “¡Ya Basta! – Enough is Enough!: Education and Violence in the Context of our Schools, Community Safety, and Law-Enforcement,” on Sept. 29 at Cal State San Bernardino.

Registration is open for the summit, which will take place from 8 a.m.-3 p.m. at the Santos Manuel Student Union South. Visit the 2023 LEAD Summit XII Registration webpage to reserve your spot. The opening procession, “The Injustice Never Leaves You,” as well as the summit, will be dedicated to the memory and legacy of writer, poet, academic, social justice advocate, Roberto “Dr. Cintli” Rodriguez, will begin at 9 a.m.

Each year the summit, which is open to the public and free to attend, brings together teaching professionals and educators, researchers, academics, scholars, administrators, independent writers and artists, policy and program specialists, students, parents, civic leaders, activists and advocates – all sharing a common interest and commitment to education is-

sues that impact Latinos to help them define the future.

“Attendance in this year’s summit is imperative because in all the forms of violence, we as a society just move on to other things,” said Enrique Murillo Jr., LEAD executive director and CSUSB professor of education. “But neither the victims, the families, nor the communities are able to move on.”

Activist Dolores Huerta has been named the honorary chair/madrina de honor and actor Emilio Rivera will be the honorary chair/padrino de honor the summit. And both are familiar with the summit’s theme, having experienced different strands of it, Murillo said.

“In September 1988, in front of the St. Francis Hotel in Union Square, Huerta was severely beaten by San Francisco Police officer Frank Achim during a peaceful and lawful protest of the policies/platform of then-candidate for president, George H. W. Bush,” Murillo said.

“The baton-beating caused significant internal injuries to her torso, resulting in several broken ribs and requiring the removal of her spleen in emergency surgery. The beating was caught on videotape and broadcast widely on local television news. Later, Huerta won a large judgment against the SFPD and the city of San Francisco for the attack, the proceeds of which she used for the benefit of farm workers. As a result of this assault and the suit, the SFPD was pressured to change its crowd control policies and its process of officer discipline.”

Rivera’s experience goes beyond his portrayals on the big and small screen.

“Emilio grew up in a Frogtown, an impoverished neighborhood of Los Angeles, Elysian Valley, from a gang family,” Murillo said. “With nearly 150 acting credits to his name, he is known for his authenticity and presence on screen, especially while depicting criminals and law enforcement officers.”

In his role as Marcus Álvarez in the television series, “Mayans M.C.,” Emilio Rivera is often referred to as “El Padrino,” a term of immense respect. In real life, he bears the title of padrino as the summit’s honorary chair.

Huerta will address the summit during the morning session, and Rivera will speak during the afternoon session.

With the sobering topic of violence and how it impacts education, the summit will also feature a Healing Lounge, staffed by counselors from CSUSB Counseling and Psychological Services, where summit participants can take a break. From the webpage for the Healing Lounge: “Trauma and healing (or a lack thereof), challenging disparities/inequities, oppression, poverty, social disfunction, violence, and seeking justice and accountability, across multiple sites of lived experiences among various communities, are themes that may emerge in many ways throughout the conference proceedings. We acknowledge the topics covered may sit heavy with some at times.”

Every child has the right to safety and

security that makes learning possible and fulfilling. Yet millions of girls and boys experience violence in and around schools – on the way to school, on school grounds, and within classrooms. Evidence and data have clearly shown that violence in and around schools – in its various forms – has detrimental impacts on a child’s well-being and educational attainment.

Programs during the summit will examine the challenges the community faces.

Scheduled panel discussions will include “Historical, Cultural and Racial Responsiveness and Revitalization: Building Dignity and Social Justice from the Massacre at El Porvenir to Uvalde”; “Missing and Murdered Indigenous People”; “Gun Violence Prevention: Students Need Safe Environments to Learn, Live, and Grow”; “Leveraging Federal Resources to Prevent Violence ”; and “Police Use of Excessive Force/Raza Database Project.”

In addition, the summit’s featured photo exhibit, “Resilience in Inland Southern California: Enduring Policing, Violence, and Poverty,” by Humberto Flores, will present a human perspective on the issue.

Flores, a first-generation Chicano from the Inland Empire, is a doctoral candidate in sociology from UC Santa Barbara whose research examines the brunt of policing in the Inland Empire. He was a featured speaker for the university’s Conversations on Race and Policing during the 2023 spring semester.

CSUSB Celebrates National Hispanic Heritage Month Sept. 15-Oct. 15

festival of African and Latin rhythms kicked off Hispanic Heritage Month at Cal State San Bernardino when the university’s LatinX Center hosted the AfroLatinX Carnival on Coyote Walk on Sept.

12. Students, faculty and staff began the month-long celebration at an event that focuses on the intersectionality among the Afrolatiné culture and community through art, live music and entertainment, food and university and community resources.

Several events will highlight the Afro-Latine culture and community from Sept. 15 through Oct. 15, including the Sept. 21 opening reception for “Afróntalo,” an exhibition at the CSUSB Anthropology Museum. The exhibit will introduce museum visitors to “four communities in Mexico and 21 Californians, all in their own words, to explore the depth and breadth of Afrolatiné histories, cultures and identities,” according to the museum.

Also part of the celebration, the 12th annual Latino Education and Advocacy Days (LEAD) Summit will be held on Friday, Sept. 29, at the Santos Manuel Student Union South. The theme of this year’s LEAD Summit is “¡Ya Basta! – Enough is Enough!: Education and Violence in the Context of our Schools, Community Safety, and Law-Enforcement.” This year’s honorary chairs – Dolores Huerta, president and founder of the Dolores Huerta Foundation, and Emilio Rivera, actor – will deliver keynote addresses at the summit.

Hispanic Heritage Week was established by legislation sponsored by Rep. Edward R. Roybal (D-Los Angeles) and signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson in 1968. The commemorative week was expanded by legislation sponsored by then-U.S. Rep. Esteban Edward Torres (D-Pico Rivera) and implemented by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period (Sept.

15 – Oct. 15). The bill died in committee, but in 1988, U.S. Sen. Paul Simon of Illinois re-submitted an amended version, which was enacted into law on Aug. 17, 1988.

Sept. 15 of every year was chosen as the starting point for the celebration because it is the anniversary of independence of five Latin American countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua, who all declared independence in 1821.

The undersigned or its predecessor caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. 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

Office (909) 381-9898 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. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 758-8052 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.HOMESEARCH.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 110696CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: Effective January 1, 2021, 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. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed 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 (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www.clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 110696-CA 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.

Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale.

Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

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 this property.
