is the season to be jolly…” is a memorable line from a popular holiday song that brings a smile to my face every Christmas season, however I never assume the same holds true for everyone.

Across the inland region there are hundreds of working families struggling to make ends meet even though they work hard every day and this time of year, they also worry about how they are going to manage the added expenses of the holiday season.

The good news is that more of our neighbors and friends in the region are employed in 2018. Earlier this year, the region’s unemployment rate fell to 3.7—the lowest on record; and by October, although it had risen slightly to 4.1, it remained very low. As a result, it begs the question, “With so many people working, why is it so difficult for the region to climb out of poverty?”

In recent weeks, two reports have examined and issued reports on the inland area economy including the State of Work in the Inland Empire—November 2018 prepared by UCR’s Center for Social Innovation and the 2018 Detailed Status of the Inland Empire Economy prepared for SAG by area economist, Dr. John Husing.

Both reports highlighted the region’s continued economic growth that is projected to maintain for the near term but also noted opportunities for growth and real-world challenges particularly in relation to the area’s persistent poverty.

The local economy took a big hit during the Great Recession and since the economic recovery began in 2011, the area has added nearly 350,000 jobs, but it is the kinds of jobs created that may be contributing to the area’s relentless poverty.

The community celebrated when news broke in 2012 that Amazon was opening a warehouse in San Bernardino to employ about 1,000 employees. Today, it is the region’s largest employer with 13 warehouses and nearly 18,000 workers—but those jobs came at a cost to the community— millions of dollars in tax breaks.

Those tax dollars could be used to help uplift the community, instead the money lines the pockets of Amazon’s founder, chairman, and chief executive officer, Jeff Bezos whose net worth is approaching 140 billion dollars.

As the region’s largest employer, there is little question Amazon is creating jobs, or that it pays marginally above the minimum wage and provides other benefits, or that it is contributing tax revenue to the area, but far too many of its employees continue to be classified among the working poor.

In addition, many Amazon jobs are either seasonal and/or part-time which means although the distribution centers provide jobs—most of these workers need more than part time or seasonal employment. In addition, the work is grueling and the compensation is just not enough to scratch out a living.

Amazon employees are non-union. As a result, they are disadvantaged by the inability to organize into a negotiating block for better wages and/or working conditions.

The inland area is progressing relative to attracting professional, management and scientific employment sectors, increasing the percent of local residents with college degrees, and working to gradually close the educational achievement gap—these are all amazing strategies, but the transition is long and the impacts will be felt overtime.

There are also those like me and others who believe that with Amazon controlling the lion’s share of jobs in the region, there is also a role for unions to play in helping to strengthen the region’s economy.

I began this column reminiscing about an old Christmas carol and focusing on the line, “Tis the season to be jolly.” I’m sure Bezos with his billions of dollars will most probably have a very continued on page 18

Assisted Suicide

Appeals Court Overturns Lower Court Ruling Riverside – Last Wednesday, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in Riverside overturned a lower court ruling that previously held California’s assisted suicide law was unconstitutional.

The court over-turned the lower court ruling because the doctors who bought the case could not show they were harmed by the law as it does not limit their ability to refuse to assist a terminally ill patient end his/her life.

Under the law, if a terminally ill patient has six months or less to live, they can request a prescription drug to end his/her own life provided he/she meets a set of standards—however, doctors are not required to participate in the law.

In this case, the court ruled the doctors, represented as the Life Legal Defense Foundation, did not have standing, therefore the justices could not rule on the constitutionality of the law.

The doctors’ lawsuit now goes back to the lower court where they may choose to amend it and refile.

The ruling in this case will have no impact on the current status of assisted suicide in California. The law was previously declared unconstitutional by a superior court judge because it was adopted during a special legislative session, however an appeals court subsequently reinstated the legislation while it works its way through the appeal process under the auspices of the California Attorney General.

Debate Continues Over Arming Teachers in California San Bernardino

I

n September during the heat of the midterm campaign, California’s newly elected Superintendent of Public Instruction, Tony Thurman, who was then contending for the position, held a town hall meeting in Oakland to discuss whether teachers should be armed.

During the session Thurmond stated, “The training that our teachers need is not gun training, it’s training professional development to help us close the achievement gap.”

In October 2017, California appeared to settle this issue when Governor Jerry Brown signed AB 424. The law made it illegal for school workers who have concealed carry permits to bring guns on campus effective January 1, 2018.

The national debate over arming teachers gains momentum after each devastating mass shooting event that occurs on a school campus.

In recent months, U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos made it clear that based on her estimation, school districts across the country have the flexibility to use federal funds to arm their teachers. There are many opponents to DeVos’s idea including many teachers who believe this will make schools less safe.

Just as there are opponents to the idea of teachers carrying guns on campus, there are several individuals and groups who support the idea. Counted among them is President Donald Trump and the many gun rights advocates who have long advocated for such laws.

Today, although many schools are identified as “gun free” zones—the federal Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990, allowed states to authorize certain individuals to carry firearms on campus. At least 15 states currently have some form of concealed-carry policies in their schools. In addition, at least two dozen states are now considering similar policies according to the nonprofit gun control advocacy group, Everytown for Gun Safety.

When Brown signed AB424, it also rescinded the authority of school superintendents to permit some employees to carry guns—a role only granted them in 2016.

In 2015, a CBS poll showed 57 percent of Americans were opposed to teachers

carrying guns on campus. A recent survey by the organization Teach Plus showed the current shootings have only served to increase opposition to this issue. Nearly 80 percent said they strongly oppose arming teachers in schools.

In addition, 82 percent of respondents to a poll by the National Education Association said

they would not carry a gun even if they were trained and allowed to do so. Finally, a Gallup poll of teachers showed only 30 percent believed their being armed would help limit victims during a shooting event.

New Terms Begin for Rutherford and Hagman San Bernardino

O

n December 3rd, County Supervisors Janice Rutherford and Curt Hagman were sworn in for their new four-year terms.

Rutherford was elected by a sizeable margin in June to a third term and Hagman, who recently defeated his opponent, now begins his second term. Both took the oath of office at the county’s government center, last week.

Rutherford represents the Second Supervisorial District, which includes all or portions of Upland, Rancho Cucamonga, Fontana, Crestline and Lake Arrowhead.

Supervisor Hagman represents the Fourth District which includes portions of Chino Hills, Chino, Ontario, Montclair and Upland.

Hagman was sworn in by his son, Second Lieutenant Jonathan Hagman, who serves with

the California Army National Guard, while Rutherford was administered her oath of office by the Honorable Martin R. Barash, United States Bankruptcy Judge for the Central District of California, who also happens to be her high school friend. Both made remarks after taking their oath thanking constituents, families and continued on page 18

Finding Peace During the Holidays

A

ccording to a recent American Psychological Association (APA) study, 57 percent of Americans say the current political climate is a significant source of stress in their lives. Three-quarters of Americans felt at least one symptom of stress in the past month, with around one-third of adults experiencing anxiety, irritability or anger, or fatigue.

The holidays can add to that stress. The shift in mindset can start as early as October when we begin to navigate through various feasts and celebrations. We often overbook ourselves and set unrealistic expectations about what can be done. We feel pressured by family and friends to travel home or attend events. All of this can culminate into a heap of tension that ultimately impacts our emotions and depletes our time and money, which are two key stress areas during the holidays.

With all these added demands, our cheery disposition can quickly shift to bah humbug. Finding peace of mind is possible if we take the right steps. Here are a couple of ways to help ease your holiday stress.

Think differently. Focus on what matters most to you.

Ask yourself these questions — what do you love about the holidays and what means the most to you during the holiday season? Are you passionate about family gatherings and turkey traditions, do you enjoy shopping for gifts and the act of giving, or do you want to reconnect with certain people or your faith? Know what the holidays mean to you. If they don’t feed your heart and soul, redefine how you approach each one. Place your energy

into what matters the most.

Plan ahead. Set realistic expectations for you and your family.

Now that you’ve made decisions about where to focus your efforts during the holidays take a moment to choose what activities lead you to the greatest joys, not the highest stresses. Write down your plans, establish a budget (and stick to it), be flexible and set attainable goals.

Be Aware. Understand how you feel and respond appropriately.

Be mindful of your feelings. Take notice when you feel anxious or sad. Step back and determine what’s causing these shifts in mindset. If it’s in your control, remove those things that trigger the negativity. If you can’t shake the angst and continue to downward spiral, consider reaching out to your health provider, psychologist or psychiatrist and work together to simplify and find ways to balance your life.

Expanding the Indio Jail in Riverside County Indio

A

cross the country states and municipalities are expanding prison/ jail capacity even as crime is falling and prison populations are declining. In California, a 2011 Supreme Court ruling has resulted in a shift of non-violent offenders from state prisons to county jails.

A preliminary report on the status of crimes released by the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department in February, showed overall crime in the county was down by 2.2 percent, violent crime was down by 8.8 percent and property crimes fell by 1.6 percent from 2016.

In late September, the FBI confirmed a nationwide trend in crime reduction reporting the estimated number of violent and property crimes fell in 2017 after two years of gains. The FBI statistics are part of the agency’s Uniform Crime Reporting Program which collects data from 16,655 city, county, college, state, tribal and federal law enforcement agencies.

When the report was released, Ames Grawert, Senior Counsel at the nonprofit Brennan Center for Justice stated, “Crime declined nationwide last year, consistent with our earlier analyses

of 2017 data in the nation’s 30 largest cities.

That’s good news,” she said but quickly added, “The bad news is that even while crime is falling, the number of Americans incarcerated remains near-record highs. Now is the time to address the problem.”

The high rate of incarceration was not the driving issue for Riverside County. They focused instead on the issue of prison overcrowding.

This led to the project to expand the Indio jail at a cost of $330 million that has since grown to $340 million and is way over schedule for completion—the expanded facility will not open this year as initially promised. New projections

San Bernardino County Board of Education Elects New President

are the facility will not be completed until Spring 2019, more than a year and three months behind its original schedule.

When the 1,626-bed John J. Benoit Detention Center was initially considered in 2012 through 2014, it was sold based on the need to help relieve the overcrowding conditions that existed at that time.

County officials viewed the expansion as an appropriate response to a federal court order that required the county to release inmates when no beds were available; and as a result, by 2015, more than 28,000 inmates had benefited from the early release option.

Although the county initially received a $100 million-dollar grant to expand the Indio facility the rest of the funding is being provided through the sale of bonds.

Today, as the nation moves closer to criminal justice reform, critics of mass incarceration question whether such continued multi-milliondollar taxpayer investments in jail/prison expansions are warranted.

Partisanship Over Policy

San Bernardino

uring its monthly meeting on December 3, the San Bernardino County Board of Education unanimously elected Hardy Brown II to serve as president for the coming year.

Brown was just elected to a new four-term on the board in November. He represents Trustee Area D which includes the communities of Rialto, San Bernardino and Snowline. Before the board meeting, Brown, and newly elected Board members Ken Larson of Trustee Area A and Rita Fernandez-Loof of Trustee Area B, were sworn into office.

Brown was born and raised in San Bernardino and attended local schools through high school before attending Wilberforce University in Ohio.

After earning a degree at Wilberforce, he continued on page 18

Riverside - A Pew Research report showed voters in the 2018 Mid-term election largely placed partisanship over policy. About 36 percent of Democrats said their congressional vote was as much in opposition to the GOP as it was in support of the Democratic candidate. On the other hand, 47 percent of Republican voters mentioned support of the GOP, Trump or the Republican candidate in their district as the reason for their vote. Fewer respondents cited policies as the primary reason they voted either Democratic or Republican.

Vaccines—Misconceptions and Facts Lillian Ortiz Contributor mallpox, tuberculosis, polio, tetanus, and diphtheria were once life-threatening diseases that claimed the lives of millions of people in the United States and around the world.

For centuries, these diseases indiscriminately targeted and terrorized individuals of all races, socioeconomic status and genders.

However, as a result of immunizations, in the United States at least, these diseases have either been completely eradicated or have been kept at bay. Immunizations have proven to control and eliminate many infectious diseases, yet many people remain concerned about them.

Misleading information found on social media about the effects of vaccinations have led to a constant angst among people. This fear has affected whether some parents choose to vaccinate their children or not.

Breanna, the 24-year-old mother of three young sons said she has mixed feelings about immunizations. She had her children immunized because, with the influx of children coming from foreign countries that don’t have immunization requirements, she believes her children are better protected against childhood diseases.

Another mother shared slightly different feelings. While she concurred that some childhood diseases have been eradicated,

S

she said in part, “I believe that children receive some unnecessary immunizations immediately after birth, specifically Hepatitis B. This vaccine is not necessary unless there is a risk of the baby contracting Hepatitis B. I think this is rare. The other vaccines should be spaced out.

This will allow for proper assessment of allergic responses to vaccines and decreases the burden on their developing immune system.”

One of the main concerns that people have regarding vaccinations is the fear of autism. Dr. Ashaunta Anderson M.D., a pediatrician, explains that this remains a pressing concern for many parents, even though there have been numerous studies that have refuted this.

Dr Anderson remarked that the period in which a child is given the vaccines is a critical time because children are more vulnerable to infection and their immune systems are still developing, while at the same time they are receiving vaccines that will prevent life-threatening infections.

“It is also the time when they are developing language and social interaction skills. Sometimes children who were going to develop autism anyway start to show some slow-down in those areas, in their language acquisition and social interaction,” says Dr. Anderson. continued on page 17

According to news reports, The law firm representing the county disagreed with the settlement Burum approached Mikels about obtaining some public funds to offset terms and expressed this in a confidential memo to the San Bernardino what Burum viewed as an unfair burden (costs of the flood control County Board of Supervisors. Then the law firm quit and the settlement

S T O R Y fell apart.

In 2006, Burum recommended retired state Supreme Court Justice Edward Panelli oversee mediation talks. Panelli held four mediation sessions prior to the landmark settlement between the Colonies Partners and San Bernardino County Flood Control for $102 million.

Panelli had little concern about the complaints filed against Norell and Warner as reflected in Grand Jury testimony. It was reported Attorney Dennis Wagner, who represented San Bernardino County, informed Panelli he could not approve of the settlement due to pending complaints against the judges.

In November 2006, the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors approved the $102 million settlement with the Colonies. The vote was Postmus, Biane and Ovitt in favor with supervisors Josie Gonzales and Dennis Hansberger dissenting.

Postmus later testified how he and Biane were pressured to settle the Colonies Case or face exposure of embarrassing information that Postmus was a drug addict and Biane had financial troubles.

According to court testimony, as the Colonies was ramping up pressure on Postmus and Biane to settle, on March 28, 2007, Colonies contributed $100,000 to the Committee for Effective Government, a PAC established by Erwin. Additionally, Erwin received a trip to New York City, a $13,000 Rolex watch and prostitution services plus $150,000 was contributed to SEBA. Kirk’s PAC, Alliance for Ethical Government received a $100,000 campaign contribution from the Colonies on May 25, 2007. Judge Michael Smith later dismissed the bribery charges against Kirk.

Former County Supervisor Biane’s Chief of Staff Matt Brown’s PAC received a $100,000 campaign contribution from the Colonies on June 15, 2007. Dino Defazio’s PAC, Inland Empire, received a $50,000 campaign contribution from the Colonies on July 5, 2007, (Defazio was a business partner of Postmus). Mike Richman’s PAC, Conservatives for a Republican Majority, received a $50,000 campaign contribution on July 12, 2007,

(Richman was a former political consultant to Postmus).

Burum, principal of Colonies Partners, L.P. claimed the campaign contributions were just their way of “mending fences” after a contentious legal battle.

According to court records, on June 30, 2009, Aleman reached a plea agreement with prosecutors. He pled no contest to vandalism for destroying a county-owned computer, destroying a public record by falsifying meeting minutes, and presenting false claims. Aleman was sentenced to 6 months in jail on December 1, 2017.

By August of 2009, the California State Attorney General’s Office decided to join the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office in investigating and prosecuting those involved in the Colonies scandal describing it as the “Biggest Corruption Scandal in San Bernardino County History.” In February 2010, Biane, Kirk, Erwin and Burum faced numerous felony criminal charges.

On April 26, 2010, Postmus reached a plea agreement with prosecutors. He pled guilty to conspiracy to commit a crime, receiving a bribe, conflict of interest and concealment of the embezzled public funds.

After numerous legal challenges and appeals, finally on January 9, 2017, the trial for Biane, Kirk, Burum and Erwin began with a separate jury for Erwin. Over eight months later, on Monday, August 28, 2017, Biane, Kirk, and Burum were found not guilty by a jury of their peers. On Friday, September 22, 2017,

Erwin’s charges were dismissed by the judge after a hung jury.

The Voice/Black Voice News posed questions and requested comments from the California State Attorney General’s Office and the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office but neither organization had replied by deadline.

In response to a public records request by The Voice/Black Voice News, as of December 19, 2017, San Bernardino County spent a total of $7,684,471, in legal fees to numerous law firms defending the civil lawsuit brought by the Colonies Partners. Additionally, the county spent $26,598,967 pursuing litigation against SANBAG, CalTrans and the City of Upland for its damages, litigation that was unsuccessful.

In an October 20, 2017 letter, San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office responding to a request by The Voice/Black Voice News to provide a total of the amount spent in prosecuting the Colonies case explained, “Unfortunately, we cannot answer your question because the District Attorney’s Office does not track expenses for individual investigations and prosecutions, and did not do so in the Colonies case.”

On March 1, 2018, The Colonies Partners, Jeffrey Burum, Mark Kirk and James Erwin filed a federal lawsuit against San Bernardino County, the State Attorney General and numerous others seeking more than $400 million in damages.

UCR Seeking Solutions to Regulate the Influx of Scooters Andrea M. Baldrias Contributor

S

ince September, the University of California Riverside (UCR) has experienced an upsurge of motorized scooters on-campus identified as Birds.

The university is focused on finding long-term solutions as there have been several complaints as well. According to a UCR campus police report, one incident occurred between a Bird rider and bicyclist that resulted in an injury.

Bird is a Santa Monica-based electric scooter company that allows riders to rent their rechargeable motorized scooters via mobile app.

Their scooters can be found sprawled across predominantly urban areas; however, they have raised concern for safety in multiple cities like San Francisco, Palm Springs, Santa Monica, and now for the UC Riverside community and Riverside residents.

On November 1, an inaugural meeting was held to sift out solutions for these new, popular modes of transportation. Potential solutions include educating riders on safety procedures, increased informational signage on their use, and partnering with scooter companies on applying campus rules.

Since 2010, UCR campus policy 450-24 has barred usage of Electronic Motorized Scooters (EMS) on the campus sidewalks and pathways, and has only allowed them to be used in manual mode. UCR Housing Regulation 2.26 states pocket motorbikes and unlicensed motorized scooters are not street-legal and are not to be used on UCR streets, roadways, sidewalks or parking lots, including those in and around UCR Housing facilities.

Campus sidewalks and pathways are primarily designated for pedestrians, and the influx of Bird and Lime scooters has warranted concern for pedestrian safety. An exception to the UCR policy is the use of electric or gasoline powered, unlicensed, motorized scooters which are allowed for use by individuals who are mobility impaired, as personal conveyance vehicles.

A group of campus stakeholders has been working to find solutions. These

include geo-fencing, which would create a virtual boundary—the motorized function of the scooters would not operate beyond the virtual boundary. Another solution includes “dismount zone” signage, which would notify riders that scooter use must end after a certain point. If scooters are left beyond the dismount zone they may be subject to an impound fee.

There have been discussions of whether the campus should consider partnering with one vendor for rights to operate scooters on campus. An agreement with these companies would guarantee that scooter use guidelines like helmet use and solely using manual mode on campus are enforced. President of Associated Students, Semi Cole, commented, “I believe the rise of electric scooters is a part of a modernday revolution within transportation. And with any new wave of innovation, it rarely comes when people are well and aptly prepared for it. But with its value inherent from its provision of safe, convenient, and reliable transportation, Bird and Lime scooters pioneer easy access for students to efficiently travel in and around the campus.”

Long term-solutions include the university possibly integrating scooters into its infrastructure plan to accommodate campus usage along with bicycles and skateboards. “With campuses all over the UC system dealing with issues of insufficient parking, Bird and Lime scooters come at a time when students are facing the tremendous hurdle of just attending classes, with these new innovative electric scooters offering a convenient and low-cost alternative to driving to campus,” Cole expounded.

According to Cole, a central component to a smoother integration of scooters is a collaborative effort between scooter companies and the university to foster education surrounding their use. The university will continue to seek input from the student body, faculty, and local community to find an approach to managing the influx of scooters that benefits all.

S P E C I A L The timing of the two different events, have coincided and allowed people to believe that there is a relationship between vaccinations and autism.

Dr. Anderson said, “It is true that every child may have a risk for autism, but it is not true that vaccines increase that risk.”

The probability of a child encountering an infectious disease like whooping cough is more likely and can lead to serious complications.

Dr. Anderson would like to encourage parents to aim to protect their children from the things that are likely to occur.

In the United States we are fortunate to have vaccines available to us. In the developing world, access to vaccinations is a challenge due to financial reasons. Not only do vaccinations cost money, but some require storage, such as

refrigeration, which is also expensive for these countries to maintain.

Vaccinations have helped Americans prevent illnesses and successfully eliminate diseases such as smallpox. According to Dr. Anderson, it will take a while until other infectious diseases are eradicated, until enough people begin to take the necessary precautions and vaccinate their children.

San Bernardino – New immigration estimates based on 2016 government data shows the number of unauthorized immigrants to the United States has reach a ten-year low. Experts credit the decrease to the sharp decline in the number of individuals coming from Mexico. There is, however, an increasing number of individuals seeking asylum from Central American countries like El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras making there way to the boarder of Mexico. In 2016, there were 10.7 million immigrants living in America without authorization, this was down from the more than 12 million estimated during the peak of 2007.

shootings, California legislators sent no less than nine pieces of gun related legislation to the governor for his signature in September. They covered a number of gun related issues from raising the minimum age required to purchase certain weapons to banning the possession of a fire arm by people convicted of serious domestic violence charges or restricting gun ownership of those hospitalized for mental health related issues more than once in any given year—but, none of the legislation addressed the issue of teacher’s carrying weapons on campus.

“I refuse to accept that there are no solutions to gun violence in schools,” he told The Berkeley Daily Planet. “As a parent, I feel it is my duty to push for these reforms and additional changes to increase school safety.” Now, as the newly elected Superintendent of Public Instruction, he has an opportunity to advocate and implement such reforms.

Hagman spoke about the opportunities facing the county spurred by growth and technology.

“What’s really great is to have the family of county employees, more than 20,000 of you. I am very honored to serve with you, side by side, taking care of the needs of our residents.”

Rutherford primarily focused her comments on a recent tour she took of the county’s Fleet Management Department. “The people there serve with such pride and integrity, such

creativity, such out-of-the box thinking on problem solving. And, they are not unique in this county. We have folks in every department that serve the public with those attitudes, and they don’t get recognized enough. They do the work every day, and I appreciate them.”

“Our community is strong,” Rutherford added. “We can do amazing things when we set aside our differences and just serve on another from the heart. And this county is full of people who do that.”

County spokesman Ray Smith told the Southern California News Group the contractor has claimed the documents were vaguely defined and required more work.

Depending on how this dispute is resolved, the price tag on the project could rise even higher. And this is only one of the issues county officials face regarding the jail expansion.

The other elephant in the room is whether the county has the funding needed to adequately train and staff the facility. Outgoing Sheriff Stan Sniff repeatedly warned about funding concerns related to staffing the facility when it does open its doors.
