rsenic levels in Rialto’s drinking water have raised concerns after City Well 2 registered arsenic concentrations of 9.7 parts per billion (ppb) in March 2023, just shy of the federal maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 10 ppb.

During a contentious City Council meeting, Mayor Pro Tem Ed Scott questioned Veolia, the city’s water service provider, on their

decision to keep the well operational and expressed doubts about the safety measures taken to protect the public.

“We should be looking at shutting that well down, period,” Scott asserted, after Veolia’s representative claimed that blending the water with other sources mitigated the high arsenic levels. “All that is, is dilution, and that is not acceptable.”

According to Stephen Difuccia from the

Rialto Utilities Department, arsenic was detected in the city’s annual Consumer Confidence Report, which is mandated by the Safe Drinking Water Act. This report indicated an increase in arsenic concentrations from an average of 0.52 ppb in 2020 to 6.7 ppb in 2023, with a peak reading of 9.7 ppb when Well 2 was brought back online after three months of inactivity.

Rialto Arsenic Veolia’s defense hinged on the argument that the arsenic levels, while elevated, remained within the legal limits. A Veolia spokesperson explained that the high arsenic reading was an “anomaly” due to the well being offline for an extended period and insufficient flushing before sampling. Subsequent tests showed levels stabilizing to around 5 ppb, well below the legal threshold.

necessary, sparking further debate over the safety of the city’s water supply.

Councilmember Rafael Trujillo added to the scrutiny by raising questions about lead contamination. Veolia assured the council that Rialto’s lead levels were “non-detect across the city” and highlighted ongoing efforts to inventory and replace lead pipes in the system, with more updates expected by October 16.

Despite these assurances, Scott pressed the issue, asking Veolia what percentage of the city’s water comes from Well 2 and why alternative water sources weren’t prioritized. Veolia failed to provide immediate answers, which only further fueled skepticism.

Veolia’s report, detailed in the 2023 Consumer Confidence Report and PowerPoint presentation, emphasized that arsenic is a naturally occurring semi-metal found in soil, sediment, and groundwater. The company reassured residents that Well 2 water is blended with arsenic-free water from other sources, maintaining overall safety.

“Why did we not shut the well down and pump from other areas?” Scott demanded. The Veolia representative reiterated that the well’s arsenic levels had not exceeded the MCL and that shutting down Well 2 was un-

which is nine years in the making, starting when Rialto High first became a PBIS school.” Dr. Caroline Sweeney, Rialto High School Principal, stated. “It is truly a shared achievement of our entire staff, past and present, and a testament to their hard work and dedication in helping develop and support PBIS on our campus. We have always had the singular goal of supporting the students who are part of our Knight Family.”

Bronze Level: Fitzgerald Elementary School, Preston Elementary School PBIS is supported by the California Department of Education and is designed to encourage positive behavior in students through proactive strategies, such as recognition and rewards for consistently good behavior and engagement. This framework helps schools create safer, more inclusive, and effective learning environments where students can thrive academically and socially.

Following Jehue Middle School's Platinum status in 2022, this year's Platinum recognition for Rialto High and Rialto Middle highlights the district's ongoing excellence in student support and school climate. Platinum is reserved for schools that not only meet but exceed PBIS standards, demonstrating significant positive impacts on student outcomes.

“Rialto High School is very proud of this achievement

Just 611 schools out of the almost 10,000 schools statewide earned Platinum recognition for the 2023-2024 school year.

“We are very proud to have been awarded the highest recognition given by California PBIS - Platinum,” Rialto Middle School Principal Mr. Ricardo Garcia stated. “This award is a collective effort that started back in the 21-22 school year when we restructured how and what support we provided to our students. We rose from Silver to Gold and now finally to Platinum. Everyone at Rialto Middle School has worked very

Rialto’s partnership with Veolia dates back to 2012, when the city entered into a 30-year concession agreement with Rialto Water Services (RWS) to manage water and wastewater systems and undertake significant infrastructure improvements.

Veolia is responsible for delivering all water and wastewater services under this agreement.

The next quarterly arsenic sample is expected in September, with council members and residents closely watching to see if the levels remain stable or increase again.

For further information, Rialto residents can view the full Consumer Confidence Report on the city’s website or request a hard copy through their water bill.

hard to make sure we have fidelity in providing students with the support they need. We make sure to provide time and a place for the whole faculty to meet at least once a month to talk about the supports that some of our students need and to praise those who are doing well. It has been a collective effort that has not just earned us recognition, but it is changing the school culture that has made Rialto Middle School a fantastic school for everyone, and especially for our students.”

With Jehue Middle School previously setting a high standard, Rialto High and Rialto Middle School's recent success further underscores RUSD's leadership in implementing effective strategies that support student success.

Line Fire Burns 23,714 Acres with 5% Containment, September 9th

T

he Line Fire, which broke out at 6:00 PM on Thursday, September 5th, near Baseline Road and Aplin Street in East Highlands Ranch, has now reached 23,714 acres, with moderate growth and only 5% containment as of Monday, September 9th at 6:30 PM. In response to the fire’s continued threat to the region, Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency on Saturday, securing federal assistance for San Bernardino County. The cause of the fire remains under investigation by Cal Fire.

Evacuations and Resources for Residents As of September 9th, 36,328 structures have been threatened, and mandatory evacuation orders are still in effect for several areas. The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department has urged residents to leave immediately due to the life-threatening danger posed by the fire. The most recent evacuation orders and warnings are as follows: Mandatory Evacuation Orders (Newest First): Communities of Angelus Oaks, Seven Oaks, all campgrounds, and cabins in the area The community of Forest Falls Mountain Home Village East of Orchard Road to Cloverhill, from Highland Avenue north to the foothills Calle Del Rio to Hwy 38, including Greenspot Road North All underdeveloped land east of Highway 330 to Summertrail Place, north of Highland Avenue

Residents in areas under evacuation warnings are advised to prepare to leave quickly if the situation worsens. Those needing additional time to evacuate, as well as residents with pets or livestock, should leave now.

Evacuation Shelters have been set up at the following locations:

San Bernardino County Fairgrounds, Building 6, 14800 7th St, Victorville, CA Jesse Turner Community Center, 15556 Summit Avenue, Fontana, CA (Note: Residents previously sheltering at Emanuel Baptist Church were relocated to this new center.)

Animal sheltering is available at the Devore Animal Shelter, 19777 Shelter Way, Devore, CA. Road Closures: SR-330: Closed in both directions from Highland Avenue to Live Oak. Crews are active in the area, and no reopening estimate is available.

SR-18: Closed from Kuffle Canyon to Big Bear Dam in both directions. Evacuees may leave, but no inbound traffic is allowed.

SR-38: Closed in both directions from Bryant to Lake Williams due to fire spread.

Evacuations are underway.

For real-time updates on road closures, visit the California Highway Information website.

Smoke Impacts and Air Quality With increased fire activity, smoke remains a serious concern for surrounding areas.

The People's Collective for Environmental Justice recommends residents take the following actions to reduce smoke exposure: Reduce exposure by keeping doors and windows closed.

Avoid burning indoors, including candles and wood.

Wear an appropriate mask, such as an N95 or P100 respirator, if going outside.

Check air quality regularly using airnow.gov or your local weather app.

Unified Command and Fire Response Efforts The Line Fire is being managed under unified command by the CAL FIRE San Bernardino-Inyo-Mono Unit, the City of Highland, the San Bernardino National Forest, the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District, and the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department.

While no structures have been destroyed, three firefighters have been injured since the fire’s inception. The fire remains active in the upper elevations, particularly in thermal belts, where short runs on slopes and dry vegetation continue to fuel its growth. However, fire crews have worked relentlessly to slow the blaze, supported by 1,855 personnel who have been assigned to the incident.

California’s Inland Empire is a News Mirage. Grassroots Collaborations, Philanthropic Investment, and Smart Public Policy Could Help Change That.

ones, and most IE residents are none the wiser.

T

A news desert? Or a news mirage?

In recent years, much of the academic and public dialog concerning the crisis in local journalism has focused on “news deserts”—areas with “no, or very limited, access to a reliable local news source—either print, digital or broadcast.” In her 2023 report, The State of Local News, Northwestern University’s Dr. Penny Abernathy identified 204 U.S. counties without any local news outlets and another 1,562 with just one.

he San Bernardino Sun is the paper of record for San Bernardino, California—a city of more than 220,000 in the state’s diverse and rapidly growing Inland Empire region (or “the IE”).

This Wednesday morning—August 28, 2024—the Sun published front-page articles about special counsel Jack Smith’s revised indictment of former president Trump, the rescue of an Israeli hostage in Gaza, vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance’s upcoming Southern California campaign stops, and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s claims that the Biden Administration pressured Facebook to censor some Covid19 content during the pandemic.

That same day, twenty minutes south of San Bernardino, Riverside’s Press-Enterprise published a front page that was identical to the Sun’s. The two papers’ headlines, bylines, articles, photos, and layout were all exactly the same. All that differed were the mastheads. Two other area dailies—the Ontario-based Inland Valley Daily Bulletin and Redlands Daily Facts—published the exact same front pages, too.

In fact, each day these four Inland Empire dailies publish entirely duplicative newspapers from cover-to-cover, including the same sections, articles, headlines, photos, advertisements, and even obituaries! So, when residents open their “local” daily (or its website), they must wade through coverage of other cities and towns across the massive two-county region—if their community is covered at all. Indeed, Wednesday's print edition of the San Bernardino Sun didn’t once mention San Bernardino or the surrounding cities of Rialto, Colton, Fontana, or Highland.

Why is this happening? Over the past two decades, U.S. newspapers have seen their advertising revenues evaporate, as Google and Facebook have cornered the digital advertising market. As a result, a third of U.S. newspapers have closed, and two-thirds of newspaper journalists’ jobs have been eliminated. So, local newspapers (and ad-supported outlets more generally) must do more with less, or they simply do less.

But in California’s Inland Empire, there’s an added problem: these duplicative dailies are all part of Southern California News Group (SCNG), which is owned by the “vulture” hedge fund Alden Global Capital. The nation’s third-largest newspaper owner, Alden is notorious for buying local papers, gutting editorial staffs, and siphoning off the remaining profits.

In 2018, SCNG executive editor Frank Pine said his newsrooms’ staffs had been halved in just two years under Alden. He called SCNG’s business model “broken” and even suggested their papers transition to non-profit status. That hasn’t happened. Instead, Alden passes off a single regional newspaper as four local

In California's Inland Empire, the problem isn't so much a lack of news outlets, though. (Abernathy’s report identified 48 news providers across San Bernardino and Riverside counties, and Mapping Black California locates even more media outlets, generally). Rather, the problem is that many Inland Empire news outlets publish little, if any, substantive local journalism. And as Alden's duplicative dailies illustrate, this is not always apparent to news consumers.

I've argued that Calfifornia’s Inland Empire is a “news mirage”—an area that appears to have more substantive local journalism than it actually does.

Other journalists and researchers have also used the “mirage” metaphor to describe troubling local news dynamics, including Chevron’s surreptitious ownership of a northern California daily, rural weeklies that employ few if any local reporters, and the rapid proliferation of AI-generated mis- and disinformation.

The Inland Empire news mirage is multifaceted, and it extends well beyond Alden’s duplicative dailies. As we’ll see, the IE has no dedicated, local TV news. Instead, L.A. stations pipe in our “local” newscasts, which portray the region as a crime scene.

Under-resourced local weeklies and digital sites also rely heavily on “churnalism”—the passing along of press releases and other pre-packaged content as news.

This enables powerful local actors like Amazon to manipulate public opinion. Meanwhile, popular social media accounts and “pink slime” websites engage in sensationalism and spread misand disinformation.

As a result, IE communities— which are majority-Latino and where 36% of families cannot meet basic needs—face a dearth of reliable information on pressing local issues, such as warehouse sprawl, housing unaffordability and homelessness, food insecurity, health and environmental injustice, and right-wing extremism. Moreover, law enforcement, public officials, and major corporations like Amazon operate without the sort of close journalistic scrutiny that local democracy requires.

There are reasons to be optimistic about IE journalism, though. A grassroots network of ethnic and community media is innovating with cooperative journalistic approaches to inform and empower local communities. The

region’s community foundation has launched a Journalism Innovation Hub+Fund to support those grassroots efforts, and that Hub has linked up with the Press Forward national philanthropic coalition. Finally, the California legislature recently considered two bills that would have had the tech giants pay to restore local journalism, though a recent deal with Google seems to have significantly dampened those efforts.

Whether grassroots collaborations, philanthropic initiatives, and (smart) public policy interventions are successful will determine, to no small degree, whether Inland Empire communities have the news and information needed to grow sustainably, equitably, and democratically. Otherwise, the region will continue to operate with a news ecosystem that, because of its lack of substantive local reporting, enables corruption, racial and economic inequality, and health and environmental degradation. But, first, we must recognize the region for what it is—a news mirage.

A multifaceted mirage Alden’s duplicative dailies are the most galling manifestation of the Inland Empire news mirage, but they are not the only contributor. Flip on a television in the IE, and you’ll find newscasts from the typical local TV affiliates— ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, and Telemundo. However, except for the relatively tiny Palm Springs market, none of those stations are based in the Inland Empire. Instead, the region’s “local” newscasts are piped in from Los Angeles, and when they do cover the IE, it is almost exclusively violent crime stories.

At 4.7 million residents, the Inland Empire is the nation’s 12th largest metropolitan statistical area, it has the fifth largest Latino population, and the region is projected to grow twice as fast as the rest of Southern California over the next 25 years. Shouldn’t such a large, diverse, and rapidly growing region have its own, dedicated TV stations and newscasts?

Meanwhile, many local weeklies and digital news sites rely heavily on “churnalism”—the passing along of police reports, press releases, and other prepackaged content as news. Churnalism is cost-effective, and it may well satisfy some readers’ wants. Crime gets lots of clicks, while press releases touting area businesses and non-profits provide a steady, compensatory stream of “good news” (something residents have said they desperately need).

However, churnalism also skews news coverage toward relatively low-value stories, and it cedes editorial influence to the very institutions journalists should hold accountable, including corporations, law enforcement, and public officials. As Orwell famously said, “Journalism is printing something that someone else does not want printed; everything else is public relations.”

This has real consequences for Inland Empire communities. A December 2023 document leak revealed that Amazon—the IE’s largest private employer—was (and presumably still is) engaged in a “corporate manipulation” campaign aimed at stifling community opposition to its warehouse sprawl, labor practices, and health and environmental impacts in the region. The campaign includes such tactics as “strategic donations, currying favor with local politicians, [and] methods of cultivating allies and placing of ‘Amazonians’ within community groups and local boards like sleeper spies.”

Amazon’s PR team can’t execute this corporate manipulation campaign on its own, though. It needs local media to pass along its friend-of-the-community press releases as news, and many IE outlets—time- and resourcestrapped as they are—have enabled that campaign.

Recent newspaper ownership changes threaten to make matters worse. This summer, Arizonabased Times Media Group (TMG) acquired four locally owned IE weeklies and promptly laid off three of those papers’ editors, including the 30-year editor of the Fontana Herald News.

TMG has also curtailed community freelance contributions. Apparently the $35 per article freelance rate was cost prohibitive.

Now, the editor at the Yucaipa/Calimesa News Mirror works double-duty at the Redlands Community News, the Fontana Herald News and Banning/Beaumont Record Gazette are produced by TMG's Arizonabased staff, and the company is closing three of its four local offices. Meanwhile, these papers all use the slogan, “Your Community, Your Newspaper.” Just don't try to find them at the office.

Sensationalism, misinformation, and “pink slime” Like nature, information abhors a vacuum, and some of the sources that have emerged to fill the Inland Empire’s local news void practice journalism that is questionable at best.

On social media, a slew of newsy accounts like Inland Wire, Inland Empire Pages, What’s Up With Riverside and onthetira (aka Foo News Network) have amassed followings in the hundreds of thousands. These accounts produce mostly sponsored content for local businesses.

However, they also plug area events, share community-sourced videos, and some even publish on-the-ground reporting. Unfortunately, much of their local news coverage is sensational crime reports and vehicle accidents that, while eye-popping, does little to inform civic or democratic life.

They also rely heavily on churnalism, and some even repackage other area news sources’ reporting without attribution.

Some of these popular accounts have also published blatant misinformation. For instance, on June 24, 2024, Inland Empire Pages shared with its (then) 237,000 Instagram followers an

unattributed, grammatically-challenged Facebook post. It read: Sex trafficking ring busted in the old FALLAS building [in Highland, California]. 60 women and children taken in a box truck.

They were then taking by Ice. The men arrested driving the truck had ms13 tattoos.

Over the post, in large bold letters, Inland Empire Pages asked a rhetorical question: “Why isn’t this all over the news?” The answer was quite simple: the sex trafficking story wasn’t true.

There had been a cartel-related bust in Highland, but, as the San Bernardino Police Department confirmed, “there were no trafficked women or children involved.”

Several commenters (including myself) raised alarms about this misinformation. However, Inland Empire Pages did not remove the post or offer a proper correction, and over the following days the post went on to rack up more than 700,000 views, 12,000 likes, and 30,000 shares. Since then, Inland Empire Pages has added an additional twenty thousand followers.

Other Inland Empire “news sources” are designed to deceive.

The company Metric Media operates 75 “local news” websites across California that purport to “fill the void in community news” by “provid[ing] objective, data-driven information without political bias.” In the Inland Empire, Metric Media’s sites include Coachella Today, Pomona Valley Today, NW and SW Riverside News, Victor Valley Times, and East and West SBV Times in the San Bernardino Valley.

These outlets look and sound like legitimate local news sources, but they are what journalism analysts refer to as “pink slime” websites. Playing on the public’s trust in and demand for local news, these operations churn out a mix of low-value, AIgenerated stories, byline free press releases, and a slew of right-wing propaganda.

For instance, on July 24, 2024, East SBV Times published a misleading story stating that local Democratic Congressman Pete Aguilar (CA-33) had voted “to make it easier for illegal aliens to vote in federal elections.” In fact, non-citizen voting is a ginned up problem, and bills like the one in question—the SAVE Act—would make it harder for citizens to vote, particularly young people and people of color.

But the East SBV Times report about Aguilar wasn’t a one-off story; it was part of a national propaganda campaign. For, on that same day, Metric Media ran the exact same story about Pomona Congresswoman Norma Torres and scores of other Democratic Representatives across the country. Metric Media simply swapped out the names and photos to fit their 1000+ local outlets.

Op-Ed September’s Fight Against Childhood Cancer: Advocating for the 16,000 U.S. Children Diagnosed Each Year

IECN co-publisher Manny Sandoval emceeing the Taste for Life wine tasting fundraiser at Kimberly Crest on September 7th, 2024 - benefiting local childhood cancer efforts.

A

s we step into September, it’s critical to remember that this month is dedicated to Childhood Cancer Awareness across the United States. Childhood cancer remains the leading cause of death by disease for children under the age of 14.

According to the National Cancer Institute, nearly 16,000 children are diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. every year. These statistics are not just numbers; they represent real families facing unimaginable battles. Despite advances in treatment, the fight to save young lives is far from over.

Beyond national efforts, there are local champions who make a tremendous impact. On Saturday, September 7th, amidst the roaring blaze of the Line Fire in Highland, the Childhood Cancer Foundation of Southern California (CCFSC) hosted its annual Taste for Life wine-tasting fundraiser at the beautiful Kimberly Crest House & Gardens in Redlands.

I had the honor of emceeing this remarkable event—a role I hold dear, as childhood cancer advocacy has been a central pillar in my life for over 20 years.

In 2003, my younger brother, Sonny, was diagnosed with Leukemia. He passed away just three weeks after his diagnosis, becoming part of the heartbreaking reality that childhood cancer claims the lives of approximately 1,800 children in America each year, also according to the National Cancer Institute.

For over two decades, my family and I have stood side by side with CCFSC, which has dedicated 42 years to providing emotional, social, and educational support to families from across our Inland communities.

The Taste for Life fundraiser

was not just a celebration but a testament to the power of community. Attendees enjoyed live music by the talented Anastasia Lynn, mouthwatering barbecue catered by Victor’s Barbeque, and an engaging silent auction—all while supporting a vital cause. I would also like to extend a heartfelt thanks to Kimberly Crest for graciously donating their venue for the fourth consecutive year and to sponsors like Big Bear Trail Riders, California Correctional Peace Officers Association, and Tito’s Handmade Vodka, whose generosity made the event a success.

Julie Gonzalez, a clinical social worker at Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital, shared her powerful testimony at the event, underscoring the importance of CCFSC’s work in providing much-needed assistance to families facing the harsh realities of pediatric cancer.

CCFSC’s small but mighty team of three continues to maximize resources, ensuring that every dollar raised directly benefits the local childhood cancer community in the Inland Empire.

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. 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 916939-0772 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-24-989278-SH. 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 website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. 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. 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 916-939-0772, or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-24-989278-SH 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.

NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE OWNEROCCUPANT: Any prospective owner-occupant as defined in Section 2924m of the California Civil Code who is the last and highest bidder at the trustee's sale shall provide the required affidavit or declaration of eligibility to the auctioneer at the trustee's sale or shall have it delivered to QUALITY LOAN SERVICE CORPORATION by 5 p.m. on the next business day following the trustee's sale at the address set forth in the below signature block.
