“Public Education merits our support. The RITZ is a long-standing event that has been a beacon for student talent over the last 17 years,” stated one of The Ritz Founders/Chairperson and District Spokeswoman Syeda Jafri. “More than just a dazzling Gala, The RITZ deepens connections with communities and supports students through the Sharing Our Love Foundation, the RUSD’s non-profit foundation. Since 2005, The RITZ has highlighted more than 350 student talents through the years and deepened connections with the business and civic communities.

The RITZ has raised over $500,000 and continues to be the largest student fine arts Gala in Southern California. On behalf of past and present Gala Committee Members, and with gratitude to our administration, school site principals, teachers, and support staff who have generously donated beautiful silent auction baskets over the years, as well as to ticket holders, and business and civic leaders — from school board members to County and State-level agencies — who have contributed to this majestic student-centered program, we extend our heartfelt thanks. Your support has allowed us to champion and serve fine arts students and contribute to the growth of our communities. We hope to see you in 2024.”

The RITZ will return on Saturday, April 27, 2024, at 5:30 p.m. at Wilmer Amina Carter High School. Tickets go on sale the first week of February.

The RUSD was one of 60 recipients across California public school districts (out of 1,025 districts) to earn the Golden Bell Award, which continues to be California’s leading educational honor. Additionally, the RUSD was one of only six school districts in San Bernardino County to earn the award. San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools Office will honor RUSD’s The RITZ for the Golden Bell Award on January 29.

The Golden Bell Awards, celebrating their 44th year, are presented by CSBA to promote excellence in public education and school board governance by recognizing outstanding programs and governance practices. The awards reflect the depth and breadth of education programs and governance decisions supporting these programs that are necessary to

address students’ changing needs.

Representatives from the District, including RUSD Board of Education President Lewis, Board of Education Member Evelyn P. Dominguez, Superintendent Dr. Cuauhtémoc Avila, and members of The RITZ committee, including Chairpersons (from the District’s Communication Media Services) Syeda Jafri and Ricardo Carlos, joined members at the Hilton San Francisco Union Square to receive the award at a well-attended reception and ceremony on November 30. The awards ceremony was part of CSBA’s Annual Education Conference and Trade Show held from Nov. 30-Dec. 2 in San Francisco.

The RUSD previously took home the Golden Bell for its STEM CARES (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math, Cultivating Active Responsible Environmental Stewards) program in 2022, and earned the Golden Bell for Professional Development and Teacher Recruitment/Retention in 2021.

A judging panel composed of experts from school districts and county offices of education across the state reviewed written entries and made initial recommendations. On-site validators then reviewed the recommendations and assessed the programs in action. This year’s Golden Bell winners demonstrated that they are addressing student needs through areas such as equity and access, school climate and safety, technology, and wellness.

“As we wrestle with the aftermath of the pandemic and address longstanding issues related to student success, it’s important to highlight school districts and county offices of education that demonstrate promising practices for closing opportunity and achievement gaps and supporting student wellness,” said CSBA CEO Executive Director Vernon M. Billy. “This year’s Golden Bell winners have developed remarkable programs that can serve as an example for schools across the state as they work to accelerate learning recovery and foster healthy school environments for all California students.”

The energy at the event was vibrant, with business owners and community members engaging in networking, photo sessions, and discussions about collaboration and growth. The arrival of

Mayor Tran and Supervisor Baca added to the excitement as attendees eagerly interacted with the officials, sharing ideas and taking inspiration.

This market provided a platform for local businesses to showcase their products and underscored the critical role that small businesses play in the economic and social fabric of San Bernardino.

Colton City Council Greenlights Ambitious Climate Action Plan, Sets Robust 15 Percent GHG Reduction

T

By Manny Sandoval

he City Council of Colton, in a decisive move on December 5th, 2023, unanimously approved a groundbreaking update to the City's Climate Action Plan (CAP). Spearheaded by City of Colton Development Services Director Mark Tomich, the updated plan lays out an aggressive strategy to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, in line with California's rigorous environmental standards.

Leading the charge with innovative environmental solutions, the updated plan outlines significant measures to reduce GHG emissions. These include encouraging the use of mass transit, electrification of the community fleet, waste diversion and reduction, and renovations to enhance water efficiency in existing buildings.

"We've crafted a plan that not only addresses our immediate needs but also sets the stage for long-term environmental resilience," said Mark Tomich, highlighting the plan's comprehensive approach.

The CAP update, an effort four years in the making, builds upon the City’s initial CAP adopted in 2015. The revised plan sets a city-specific emissions reduction target of 15% below 2008 levels, demonstrating Colton's commitment to meeting and exceeding state environmental goals.

The plan is structured into three distinct phases for imple-

mentation. Phase 1 (2023-2025) focuses on developing necessary ordinances, identifying funding for GHG reduction projects, and conducting a costbenefit analysis. Phase 2 (20262027) involves evaluating the effectiveness of the initial measures, incorporating tracking into city operations, and updating the GHG inventory.

Finally, Phase 3 (2028-2030) continues the evaluations and adjustments, implementing remaining measures and planning for post-2030 actions.

Addressing the building sector, which accounts for a significant portion of regional GHG emissions, the plan sets forth performance standards for new developments, aiming for substantial emission reductions.

Tomich emphasized, "By targeting the largest sources of emissions and promoting green practices, we're adopting a comprehensive approach to mitigate our environmental impact."

Fiscal impacts of the plan are minimal, with existing budgeted staff positions handling the additional responsibilities.

This strategy reflects Colton's dedication to sustainable practices, balancing environmental responsibility with fiscal prudence.

The City of Colton's revamped Climate Action Plan represents a bold step forward in environmental sustainability. Through its detailed measures and phased implementation approach, the plan aims to significantly reduce GHG emissions, reinforcing Colton's role as a leader in climate action.

San Ber nardino Police Save 3-Year-Old from Being Shot by Ar med Suspect

Community News

n November 27th, 2023, a citizen brought forward a video that showed one of our officers using force after a dangerous high-speed pursuit of a suspect driving a stolen vehicle.

San Bernardino Police responded to a call in the 200 block of East 21st Street of a subject armed with a handgun on December 10, 2023, at approximately 8:00 am. According to a very distraught caller, there was a female inside the residence with a gun to the head of her 3year-old grandson.

O

Due to the suspect barricading herself with the child inside, the officers had to kick open the door. When the first officer kicked the door open, he saw the female

suspect standing on a bed inside the living room with a gun pointed directly at a young child who was seated on the bed right below her.

The child was crying and was in immediate danger of being shot at that moment. The officer fired several rounds at the suspect. The female was wounded, but she kept the gun in her hand. The officer ordered her to drop the firearm.

However, she pointed her gun back at the child once more. The officer fired his weapon again to stop the suspect and attempt to save the child’s life. Officers immediately ran and grabbed the baby to get it away from harm. The child was not injured and returned to family members

outside the apartment.

Medical aid was rendered to the suspect. However, she succumbed to her injuries at the residence. The suspect was identified as Darvet Brown, a 35-yearold resident of San Bernardino. She was not related to the child, and the motive for her behavior is not fully understood at this time. This investigation is still ongoing.

Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact Detective Chavez at Chavez_ed@sbcity.org.

The Dr ug-industr y Refor m that Would Lower Costs to Patients

By Merrill Matthews

mericans are already unhappy with the cost of prescription drugs. They may get a whole lot unhappier when they learn how some companies game the system at patients' expense.

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) just released an investigation into the prescription drug industry. It shows just how much some Medicare insurance plans and pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) are ripping off patients, leaving little doubt that it's time for Congress to step in.

Nearly 50 million Medicare recipients are enrolled in Part D, a program in which private insurance companies provide beneficiaries with drug coverage.

For some drugs, Part D plans may require patients to pay out of their own pockets a coinsurance fee -- a percentage of the cost of a medication. Most seniors believe their coinsurance is based on what the insurance company pays for drugs. It turns out that's often not the case.

In fact, the GAO report found that as a group, Part D patients paid four times more than insurers for many drugs.

Insurance companies set coinsurance fees based on different "tiers" and a medication's "list price"-- i.e., the full, published cost of a drug. But insurers may pay much less because PBM middlemen negotiate discounts and rebates from the drug manufacturers in exchange for favorable placement on formularies, which are the insurers' lists of preferred medicines.

Consider a drug with a $400 monthly list price. After discounts and rebates, the insurer may pay just $50 for a one-month supply.

Yet the insurer calculates the patient's out-of-pocket share as a portion of the $400 list price, not the $50 the company actually pays. If the coinsurance were 20%, the patient would pay $80 at the pharmacy rather than $10 (i.e., 20% of $50).

Thus, the patient would pay the insurer $30 more than the insurer paid for the

drug after discounts and rebates. And that's over and above the Part D insurance premiums, which are supposed to cover the insurer's cost.

The GAO report says that in 2021, Medicare enrollees spent $21 billion on 79 of the 100 drugs receiving the most rebates. But after rebates and discounts, the health plans paid only $5.3 billion for those same medications.

It's unclear how much of this profit the insurance company may kick back to the PBM, because the industry is purposely opaque.

The murkiness is made worse by the fact that three major health insurers -Aetna, Cigna and UnitedHealthcare -- or their parent companies own the three biggest PBMs -- CVS Caremark, Express Scripts, and OptumRx, respectively. Together, they control nearly 80% of the U.S. market for prescription drugs.

The current practices place the greatest financial burden on the Medicare recipients with the most medical needs, and may make the difference between whether or not a cash-strapped patient

adheres to a regimen of lifesaving medication.

Since a rebate is a portion of the list price, there is an economic incentive for PBMs to design formularies that favor the more expensive medicines.

These practices probably won't be fixed without legislation that realigns the economic incentives.

One proposal, the Patients Before Middlemen Act, would mandate that PBMs receive flat, transparent service fees rather than compensation based on the cost of drugs.

It's time to reform a system that costs patients, taxpayers, and the entire American health care system far more than it should. More transparency has a way of lowering costs for patients -- and the country.

Pure Land Foundation Recognized for Helping SBCUSD Fight Food Insecurity Community News

n Tuesday, Oct. 17, 2023, the San Bernardino City Unified School District (SBCUSD) Board of Education presented the Outstanding Community Partner Award to Pure Land Foundation for their remarkable efforts in distributing free food and vegetables to thousands of families in the San Bernardino and Highland communities through their Mobile Food Pantry.

Pure Land has been partnering with SBCUSD since it was founded in July 2018. Pure Land’s first Mobile Food Pantry was held at Lincoln Elementary School in December 2018. Since that time, Pure Land has served just under 50,000 families more than 2.4 million pounds of food at an estimated cost of $2.5 million.

“Through these numbers, you may think that we are a very large organization,” Pure Land CEO Michael Tsai said. “Well, the organization has about 15 people. We have no corporate sponsorship. We have no government funding. Every dime that comes to us is through personal donations, and every cent goes toward helping the families, especially the families based around the school district.”

By distributing free food and vegetables to deserving families at locations like Pacific and Arroyo Valley High Schools, Pure Land has provided not only sustenance but also a sense of dignity and empowerment. They have given these families the ability to feed themselves and nurture their loved ones, creating a ripple effect of stability and well-being within our community.

“Food insecurity is such a pressing issue for so many families, and it is an obstacle to success in school and life,” SBCUSD Superintendent Mauricio Arellano said. “It is impossible to measure the profound impact that Pure Land Foundation has had on our students, their families and our entire community by providing not just food, but good nutrition.”

But the Pure Land Foundation's impact goes beyond simply distributing food. Their work extends to building strong partnerships with local farmers, businesses and volunteers. These collaborations have allowed them to maximize their reach and efficiency, ensuring that they can serve as many families as possible. Their commitment to forging these community connections is a testament to their belief in the power of collective action and the importance of working together towards a common goal.

“We have no facilities, believe it or not. When we have to move 30 metric tons of food every month, we borrow warehouses, and we had to borrow a warehouse from a kind business owner all the way out in Arcadia,” Tsai said. “So all of our food has to travel back and forth just to make sure that all the families out here receive the food that they need and they never go hungry.”

SBCUSD launched the Outstanding Community Partner Award in 2022 as a way to recognize the contributions of its many educational partners. The award is presented during select months to organizations that have worked with SBCUSD to make a positive impact for students and families.

Four Fontana Unified Students Selected to Join 2024 Tournament of Roses Honor Band

By Manny Sandoval

our Fontana Unified School District high school students have distinguished themselves as some of the best high school musicians across Southern California, earning spots in Pasadena City College’s 2024 Tournament of Roses Honor Band.

Henry J. Kaiser High School senior David Mireles (marching snare drum), sophomore Liliana Lobo (euphonium) and Jurupa Hills High School senior Antonio De La Torre (baritone sax) and sophomore Diego Muro (clarinet) all qualified to march with the Tournament of Roses Honor Band in the 135th edition of the iconic Rose Parade on New Year’s Day.

“Performing in the Tournament of Roses is a landmark achievement and once-ina-lifetime experience for our students,” Superintendent Miki R. Inbody said.

“These achievements are an example of how our District staff and programs are empowering our students to reach for

their goals and accomplish things they may have once thought impossible.”

These selections uphold a District tradition at the prestigious event, as numerous District students have previously participated in the Rose Parade, including Kaiser Band Director Roberto Ronquillo and Jurupa Hills Band Director Bill Borjan when they were students at A.B. Miller and Fontana high schools, respectively. The entire Kaiser High Catamount Pride Band and Color Guard also performed at the Rose Parade in 2019 under former band director Anthony Allmond.

For Mireles, the selection successfully capped a two-year quest to bring his percussion skills to the Honor Band after he auditioned last year and missed the cut.

“I feel like all my hard work has paid off,” Mireles said. “In 2019, my brother was in the Kaiser band that performed at the Parade. I remember being there that year, seeing all the different bands and floats and telling myself, ‘I want to do

this one day.’”

All four students auditioned for the Tournament of Roses Honor Band in October after completing an application that required the approval of their band director. In November, the band begun rehearsing every Sunday in Pasadena for the upcoming parade.

“David and Liliana are continuing a legacy at Kaiser,” Ronquillo said. “This honor band is a collaboration of 60 high schools across Southern California and is extremely competitive. We had six students audition and these two qualified, so their selection is something special, but everyone who tried out came away with an idea of what they can do to get better after seeing all the talent in their section.”

Ronquillo said his goal is to make a return trip to the Rose Parade with Kaiser’s entire unit, with plans to audition for the 2026-27 event. The Catamount Pride Band and Color Guard will take a step toward that goal this upcoming May, as it was recently accepted to perform in the

Memorial Day Parade in Washington, D.C.

At Jurupa Hills, Borjan said he believes Muro and De La Torre are the first two members of the Spartan Marching Band to have been selected to play for the Tournament of Roses Honor Band.

“These experiences inspire you to strive for a higher level. When students accomplish these things, come back and share these experiences with the rest of their bandmates, their confidence spreads and helps lift everyone up,” Borjan said.

For Muro, the experience helped open his eyes to the possibility of pursuing music as a career.

“This encourages me to do more because now I know I am at that next level.

It makes me want to try out and explore different opportunities,” Muro said. “At first, I just saw music as a hobby but now I am thinking of pursuing it as something more after high school.”

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.

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.

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 111762-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.

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.

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 (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 115022-CA.

s part of the continued conversation to address the positive and negative impacts the logistics industry in the Inland Empire, Assembly Majority Leader Emerita Eloise Gómez Reyes (D-Colton) convened a roundtable discussion with local leaders to discuss the importance of incorporating sustainability into the logistics and goods movement industry.

Centered on gathering diverse perspectives from groups impacted by the industry; the roundtable included labor, environmental justice, local government, and business stakeholders and was moderated by UC Riverside Professor and former

Mayor of Riverside, Dr. Ronald O. Loveridge.

The roundtable discussion was held on December 6th, 2023 in Colton, CA – the epicenter of the logistics and goods movement industry in the state.

The roundtable discussion was held the day after Amazon’s internal community engagement plan for Southern California was leaked. While the roundtable was scheduled well before this information became public, this leaked memo only further highlights the importance of engaging community members to craft solutions for the future of the region.

Dr. Loveridge commented that “this is

the first time we have had a roundtable with such a diverse set of stakeholders focused on the warehouse and logistics issue.

This is historic.”

Logistics and economic growth should not come at the expense of the community.

Public health ought to be at the forefront of the decisions moving forward in the region. Following the roundtable Assemblymember Reyes said this of the discussion, “Sustainability in the Inland Empire is something everyone should be invested in.

Today I was proud to host a roundtable to discuss the future of logistics and warehousing in the Inland Empire.

“The diverse perspective at this roundtable is something I was especially proud

of. We had participants who often disagree with each other, now sitting next and across from each other seeking solutions.

Stakeholders from the business community, environmental justice, labor, public health and academia all came together in what I believe is a step forward for our community. A special thanks to Dr. Ronald O. Loveridge for facilitating this critical discussion. One thing that I believe is clear is that the status quo is not working. My hope is that our conversation today will inform immediate action that needs to occur in the Inland Empire. As I have said since being elected, I stand ready to work with all stakeholders on a balanced approach to this important issue.”
