erdemont residents in the north end of San Bernardino were given the opportunity to voice their concerns and questions over the concrete stockpile that has accumulated at the top of Palm Avenue, site of a 44-unit single family residence development, and to hear the developer’s strategies to mitigate those concerns during a virtual Zoom meeting on Thursday, Dec. 17 presided by San Bernardino Community and Economic Development Director Michael Huntley and Public Works Director Kris Jensen.

Palm Ave. Development, a subsidiary of Pacific Coast International created to manage the development, acquired the property from Oxbow after the concrete heap amassed - an eyesore and cause for concern for many residents over on-site crushing that include potential Stockpile, cont. on next pg.

The concrete stockpile at the top of Palm Ave. is mere feet from homes.

Equipment that will be used to crush chunks of concrete and debris.

Stockpile toxicity of the material, compromised air quality, truck traffic, and dust.

Ron Jazzar, responsible for moving the project forward, spoke on behalf of the developer “to achieve the execution of the project by keeping everyone as happy as possible.”

The main objective of the meeting, according to Jazzar, was to address the concrete that would take four to six weeks to crush utilizing latest technology, a Quinn Caterpillar Metso Lokotrack, that Jazzar maintains will ensure the task is done quickly while mitigating dust and noise.

“This is not something that we take lightly, and we know how to mediate and mitigate those factors,” Jazzar said. “Our objective is to pull grading permits and begin rock crushing, the first and most critical activity, while working closely with the city and community.”

Albert Rogers, who lives three blocks from the site, expressed his concerns by voicemail over silica dust generated by the crushing process and the potential of asbestos dust released into the

neighborhood, also home to Palm Ave. Elementary School.

According to Huntley, test results of the material indicated the absence of asbestos and other toxins; the report will be made available to residents. In regards to dust Huntley explained the Quinn Cat, certified by the AQMD, is equipped with water sprays to keep dust down, and the strategic placement of machinery will also minimize dust spread.

Resident Bryon Bettencourt wondered why the city approved the stockpile and crushing in the first place.

“The (material) should have been grinded before it was brought up,” Huntley clarified.

“The City Council adopted a resolution not to allow crushing on the site, there is no permit allowed to crush.”

The Temporary Use Permit (TUP) issued in July for the hauling of concrete material and stockpiling requires the material be covered, but the visqueen tarps placed by Oxbow was quickly torn to shreds by the gusty Santa Ana winds over a month ago, sandbags doing little to secure the tarps.

Huntley suggested Jazzar take additional measures to ensure the concrete remains concealed.

“Public Works staff visit the site regularly to inspect for Best Management Practices compliance,” Jensen said. “We continue to inform the developer that covering the (concrete) is an ongoing requirement.”

Moving forward, Jazzar informed residents he would provide an email address and phone number for them to address any concerns, “I’ll make sure that we’re accessible and responsive.”

Huntley indicated he and Jensen will continue to work closely with the city attorney regarding next steps, and mentioned a survey will be sent to residents next week to provide additional opportunity to voice concerns. Before concluding the meeting Huntley reiterated his commitment to improve communication on current and future projects that will be facilitated by the forthcoming launch of a new web page.

Verdemont residents who would like to participate in the survey can email CEDPublicComment@sbcity.org.

“We believe that Dr. Murillo exemplifies the same ‘sí, se puede’ (yes, we can) attitude, which is a personal and organizational spirit that promotes confidence, courage, hard work, and the belief that we can do the impossible,” said Ana I. Gonzalez, president of the Chicano Latino Caucus of San Bernardino County. “Enrique has integrity, recognizes and respects the inherent worth of all people.

He is generous, kind, innovative, and gives freely of his time and resources to serve our communities in the Inland Empire. He keeps our focus on educational equity and achievement, including attending college and beyond.”

Murillo said he was deeply touched and grateful to be named a recipient of the award.

“It’s a tremendous honor to receive such a prestigious award named for Thomas Ehrlich,” said Murillo. “His leadership and pioneering spirit with respect to civic engagement and learning, wisdom in practice, and building democratic culture is legendary.”

Chinaka S. DomNwachukwu, dean of the College of Education, said “Dr. Murillo represents the best of what the CSUSB College of Education has to offer. He continuously makes us proud.”

CSUSB President Tomás D. Morales praised Murillo for his hard work.

“This is a well-deserved recognition for Enrique, who is one of our most dedicated faculty members in helping our students succeed, and in working with our local communities,” said CSUSB President Tomás D. Morales.

“Enrique’s work has inspired many, especially in the Latino community on the importance of education and its vital role in society.”

Murillo becomes only the third faculty member from the 23-campus California State University system to receive the Thomas Ehrlich Civically Engaged Faculty Award, said Diane Podolske, director of the CSUSB Office of Community Engagement, who called it the “top faculty recognition for a community engagement

member, as it recognizes a sustained commitment and impact on students, the institution and the community.”

The previous CSU honorees are Seth Pollack from Cal State Monterey Bay in 2005 and Rick Eberst from CSUSB in 2004.

Podolske said Eberst was the founding director of the CSUSB Office of Community Engagement.

Murillo, who serves as the director of the college’s Doctorate in Educational Leadership program, is the founding editor-inchief of the Journal of Latinos and Education and the Handbook of Latinos and Education. He is founder of the National Latino Education Network and currently serves as president of the Southern California Consortium of Hispanic-Serving Institutions.

The Thomas Ehrlich Civically Engaged Faculty Award recognizes one senior faculty member (post-tenure or middle-to-late career if not in a tenure line) each year. The award — previously known as the Thomas Ehrlich Faculty Award for Service-Learning — is named in honor of Thomas Ehrlich, former chair of the Campus Compact board of directors and president emeritus of Indiana University.

In addition, the following faculty have been named Ehrlich Award finalists: Cheryl Grills, professor of psychology at Loyola Marymount University, and Eric Galm, associate professor of music at Trinity College.

The awards are presented in partnership with Brown University’s Swearer Center. Recipients are selected on the basis of their collaboration with communities, institutional impact, and highquality academic work.

All award winners will be recognized at a virtual awards celebration in the spring of 2021.

Fr ontline healthcar e wor ker s fir st to r eceive Pfizer vaccine The County has established the SB County Vaccination Task Force and produced a COVID-19 Standard Operating Guide to ensure our ability to distribute the vaccine as efficiently and effectively as possible. The guide largely follows guidelines established by the CDC, the California Department of Public Health and the County Department of Public Health.

not already included, and Phase 4 includes everyone not already inoculated.

“We have a plan in place, and we will move quickly to protect our most at-risk and vulnerable residents,” said Board of Supervisor Chairman Curt Hagman. “That includes making sure we handle and store the vaccine properly,” he added, noting that the Pfizer vaccine must be stored at -80 degree Celsius (-120 Fahrenheit), requir-

ing special facilities and materials like dry ice (frozen CO2).

“We still face challenges from this virus, and will continue dealing with infections and illness for several weeks and even months.

However, this is a crucial development that gives us hope for the future, and we will work tirelessly to ensure every county resident has a chance to get vaccinated at the earliest possible date,” Hagman said.

San Bernardino County has launched a vaccine-specific information webpage that shares up-todate information where we are in the different phases of the vaccine distribution, as well as critical FAQs and other resource links.

rontline healthcare workers on Wednesday, Dec. 16, at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center today became the first people in the Inland Empire to be administered the first of two doses of the COVID19 vaccine from Pfizer-BioNTech. This morning, San Bernardino County received its first shipment of the vaccines, which are anticipated to be disbursed to 19 hospitals within the

county by the end of the day.

Pfizer is shipping three million doses in this first wave, of which California is initially receiving 327,000 doses; 15,600 have arrived in San Bernardino County.

Subsequent shipments of the vaccine are expected to continue arriving on a weekly basis, and a second vaccine from Moderna is only days away from FDA approval.

Because the initial batches of doses are being rationed, the vaccine is being initially administered to front-line healthcare personnel, followed by residents and staff of long-term care and skilled nursing facilities. First responders will also be among the first people in the county to receive the vaccine.

In Phase 2, distribution of the vaccine will be expanded to include K-12 teachers and staff, childcare workers, critical workers in essential and high-risk industries, residents with comorbidity/underlying conditions, staff and residents of group facilities, and older adults not included in Phase 1. Phase 3 adds young adults, children and workers in industries and occupations

On the one hand, people must be encouraged to do the simple things that we know help mitigate the spread of the virus. Wearing masks, washing hands, and avoiding crowds or close contact with individuals are all ways in which we can help to keep the virus at bay and our families as safe as possible.

Public health officials have a duty to continue reminding residents of the dangers and the need to stay vigilant, especially when it appears that some are becoming lax in taking precautions.

At the same time, local, state, and federal leaders, whether politicians or public health officials, would do well to remember that what is being asked of the general population is not easy. People are, for the most part, doing the best they can.

Yes, some are not taking the virus as seriously as maybe they should, but most are. Go to a local store, visit a restaurant, or just walk around town and you’ll see the vast majority of people wearing masks.

Major events in people’s lives have been postponed or canceled. Jobs have been lost. Businesses have closed or are hanging on by a

So, a certain level of sympathy should be mixed with calls for renewed vigilance. Those resistant to such recommendations aren’t acting irrationally. They are expressing the obvious and understandable frustration at having to give up something important to them … a moment in time they may never get back.

And we should never give in to the temptation to view a positive COVID-19 test as the sign of a person’s irresponsibility. It should not become the “scarlet letter” of our time, worn as some indication that a protocol was ignored or science was disbelieved. One can take all the recommended precautions and still get the virus. That’s the way the world in general and illness in particular work.

We all need to be smart about our behavior and do what we can to stay safe. But our leaders should always remember that people are doing what they can under extraordinary circumstances, and that’s deserving of sympathy and understanding, not disappointment.

strange disease that originated in Wuhan, China. By March, we were locked down in our homes and have lived unprecedented disruptions of normal life since then.

All along we have looked to science for a remedy—holding our breath behind our masks.

Finally, two COVID-19 vaccines are now being released. This is extremely good news. The virus that causes COVID-19 is an insidious little beast that has disrupted the entire world, and effective vaccines are welcome. In a cost-benefit analysis, vaccines offer tremendous blessings with relatively few drawbacks.

But suddenly there’s a lot of hesitation about this thing we have looked to as our hope out of this mess. Some are reluctant to take the vaccine because of its development during a political administration they don’t like, and some are reluctant to take it because of its administration (to most of us) during a political administration they don’t like. And its stunning speed getting to us is concerning to many.

I think we have acquired cultural amnesia about vaccines.

I grew up not long after the Polio scares, and in my childhood heard horror stories about outbreaks that left many in iron lungs for the rest of their lives. The disease claimed paupers and presidents; even President Franklin Roosevelt was not exempt, his body permanently weakened and crippled after acquiring the disease as a young man. Decades ago, vaccines were not taken for granted, because we were close to the plagues that still tormented us. The Spanish Flu epidemic was a century ago, and during this holiday from history we have forgotten how desperately people desire to prevent or cure or just effectively treat disease, but there was no technological cure to assuage the suffering of a century ago.

We in the 21st century have drunk from the river Lethe. We have forgotten why we had to develop all these vaccines, and why it was necessary to immunize.

Smallpox was a disfiguring scourge that may have killed up to 10% of humanity before the advent of Jenner’s innoculation.

COVID-19 is not so bad as that, but it is bad enough. There has never been a coronavirus vaccine

very contagious, and cases are rare, so it was not deemed necessary to develop vaccines for them.

Four others cause some colds, but these are rarely dangerous, so developing a vaccine (or antiviral drugs) is a waste of effort when pharmaceutical expertise could be directed to more needful projects.

enabled us to figure out how to make fast vaccines with streamlined regulations. I believe most of these regulations should be permanently removed, so that drug and vaccine discovery don’t cost well over a billion dollars and a decade of development time.

That’s not sustainable.

Now we have another coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, which causes the disease we call COVID-19. When it first came to light, I told my students that a vaccine would be developed soon, hopefully by the end of the year.

The time and expense it takes to create a vaccine or to market a drug is a regulatory nightmare. It should never take that much time and treasure to manufacture vaccines and drugs. But because that’s what we’re used to, some assert that the COVID vaccines are “rushed.”

I suspected that small-molecule antiviral drugs to lessen the severity of the illness would be very difficult to find, and it has proven to be so.

Why was I confident that we would be able to produce vaccines against COVID-19? It has to do with the mutation rate of the virus.

HIV mutates so quickly that it’s almost impossible to raise a vaccine against it, although researchers are still trying.

Epidemiologists and virologists must decide each year which strains of influenza viruses they want to raise vaccines against, and they do a good job predicting the season to come, but it can be hitor-miss, because the mutation rate of flu bugs is so high. SARS-CoV2 mutates with some frequency, but fortunately its mutation rate is roughly a quarter that of influenza viruses.

I thought that COVID-19 would be a good candidate for a vaccine.

In early fall 2020, there were several vaccines in phase III trials worldwide. The Johnson and Johnson vaccine triggered too may contraindications (deleterious side effects) and was withdrawn.

Two vaccines are being approved and implemented in the United States as of this writing, with others in development and testing.

This is a signal accomplishment, and all responsible—from President Donald Trump and his Warp Speed program to all the researchers worldwide—should take a bow. These are mRNA-based vaccines, too, which is really slick. Never has a vaccine gone from pathogen discovery to vaccine approval in less than a year— it is unprecedented.

The president removed a lot of regulations and accelerated the process of vaccine discovery. Ne-

That might be true relative to what we have had to live with in the last decades. The expense of vaccine and drug discovery has been escalating, to the point that manufacturers can’t afford to bring to the public many drugs that are critical to human wellbeing.

For example, new antibiotics are too expensive to develop, because the manufacturers know they cannot turn a profit on them. This is tragic, because we now see more antibiotic-resistant bacteria than ever before. Pharmacologists see an impending crisis barreling towards us. The amount of regulation we have now is far more than was required in the 1960s, when the FDA was cautious enough to ban thalidomide for pregnant women in the United States.

It is indeed cause for celebration that COVID vaccines are already being distributed, and I will not hesitate to take the vaccine, though I have a good understanding of the coronavirus and do not fear it. I think we have done what our historical moment called for, and I hope biomedicine of the future will be all the better for it.

creativity and ingenuity, and that’s what team Eudemonia has done with their app. I’m always proud to highlight the talented young people in our region, and I look forward to sharing their accomplishments in the US Capitol,” said Aguilar.

“Mental wellness has always been an important matter to me, and in an age of social distancing, it is something that I strongly feel needs more public awareness.

our high school teams have advanced to the semifinals of the 39th annual San Bernardino County Mock Trial competition. Redlands, Rancho Cucamonga and Los Osos are familiar rivals and have reached the semifinals for three consecutive years. The three teams will join Cajon to vie for top honors.

The teams will compete virtually over a two-day period from Jan. 20-21. Redlands from Redlands Unified will match legal skill with Cajon from San Bernardino City Unified. Los Osos and Rancho Cucamonga from Chaffey Joint Union will battle for courtroom domination. Each group will act as both the prosecution and defense.

Only two teams will emerge from the two-day competition to secure a spot in the event finals on Jan. 23.

Redlands seeks a back-to-back championship—extending its

record to 17 San Bernardino County Mock Trial championships. Cajon returns to the semifinals hoping to win its second title. Los Osos and Rancho Cucamonga are returning to compete for the gold.

The Mock Trial competition simulates a criminal case where students portray the principal courtroom characters on both the prosecution and defense sides of a case before a real judge. This year’s case is People v. Croddy—

the trial of Lee Croddy, an aiding and abetting case. Twenty-six county teams competed virtually in four preliminary rounds which ended on Dec. 9.

The San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools and the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s office co-sponsor the event. The winner of the county competition will advance to the California Mock Trial Finals scheduled for March 18-21, 2021.

"In these unprecedented times, isolation and despair have taken a toll on our loved ones. As we move forward I believe mental wellness is of utmost importance in our lives. Working on Eudemonia has allowed me to recognize

the social role technology plays in our community,” said Richa Jos. As this year’s winner, Eudemonia will be featured on the Congressional App Challenge website, and the team will receive an invitation to the virtual #HouseofCode reception in 2021. More information on the app is available here.
