Can Awareness Save Our Citrus? Ag/Weights & Measures Teams Up with Museum to Educate Community Community News

T

he county Agriculture/Weights & Measures (AWM) Department has partnered with the San Bernardino County Museum (SBCM) to educate the public on ways in which they can help save the community’s citrus.

The museum’s exhibit, Pulp Culture: A Juicy Tale in the Orange Empire, is a captivating story highlighting the industry, migrant workers, fruit pests, and a visual culture that became intrinsically tied to the region’s citrus groves and packing houses.

Once inside the exhibit, you will find an educational panel that talks about the threat to California citrus. The citrus industry has recently faced serious threats due to fruit pest infestations.

AWM plays an active role in promoting and protecting the citrus industry by educating the public about these pests’ importance and how to prevent them. They also help to prevent pests by conducting package inspections at parcel terminals and by trapping for invasive species in high-risk areas of the county. To help prevent the introduction of harmful pests into the state, the public is urged to declare any plant or plant products when they return home from travelling.

“The museum’s Pulp Culture exhibit is meant to highlight the rich citrus history in our region and educate visitors on this area’s robust past. The exhibit also brings to light the continued strength of this industry into the modern day, and it suggests what we can do to protect our cultural heritage and to keep our citrus trees thriving,” shared Curator of History Jennifer Dickerson.

“Residents play an important role in protecting our state and local agriculture by preventing the spread of exotic agricultural pests via infested homegrown fruit and vegetables. Please help prevent the spread of exotic fruit flies and protect local farms by not moving backyard fruit. If you are in a fruit fly quarantine area, homegrown produce may be consumed or processed (juiced, frozen, cooked, or ground in the garbage disposal) on the property where the produce was grown. If it is not consumed or processed, it should be disposed of by double-bagging in plastic bags and placing the bags in the garbage bin (not green waste) for collection,” said AWM Director Brady Gergovich.

Anyone who has questions on harmful pests is encouraged to call the Agriculture/Weights & Measures office at (909) 387-2105. For information about the oriental fruit fly eradication project, visit California Department of Food and Agriculture’s (CDFA) website.

Opinion Democracy Will Crumble Under a Trump Presidency

By Jodi Junkins, communnity member

T

he third anniversary of January 6th is a solemn reminder that we cannot take our fundamental freedoms for granted, including our right to vote and choose our leaders. Despite the fact that Donald Trump is facing charges for inciting the January 6th insurrection and conspiring to overturn

the will of voters in 2020, he is still running for president. Too much is at stake for the American people to allow Trump to take back power.

Trump is desperately seeking a second term in the hopes of avoiding accountability for his crimes by pardoning himself, and he and his allies are already plotting to weaponize the Department of Justice against his enemies and purge

the federal government of anyone who disagrees with him. After seeing how far Trump was willing to go on January 6th, we should take all of his threats seriously.

On top of this, MAGA Republicans nationwide continue their assault on our democracy by introducing radical voter suppression bills in Congress and state legislatures, spreading false election

conspiracy theories, and threatening to overturn election results they disagree with.

Preserving our democracy takes work—and this year, we must all do our part. Trump and his allies pose an urgent threat to our democracy, our fundamental freedoms, and the rule of law. It’s up to all of us to ensure they do not return to power.

But it didn’t end there. Trump and his allies are laying the groundwork for a second presidency even more extreme and authoritarian than the last.

Should he win the 2024 presidential election, Trump is already planning to pardon himself and his allies of crimes committed on January 6th, purge the federal government of officials who disagree with him, use the Department of Justice to exact political revenge, and even unleash the military on civilians exercising their first amendment rights.

more than $2 billion, on average, it spent developing it.

After a treatment hit the market, firms routinely conducted additional research to see if it was effective against diseases other than the one it was approved to treat. If that research proved successful, companies applied for approval to treat these additional "indications" and marketed the drug to additional groups of patients.

he Biden administration recently announced the first 10 drugs that will be subject to price controls under Medicare as part of the Inflation Reduction Act. The president celebrated the occasion, saying, "We took on Big Pharma and special interests... and the American people won."

"Won?" The next generation of American patients will not feel like they "won" when they're stuck waiting even longer for effective treatments -- if those treatments ever materialize.

Price controls invariably lead to shortages in the short term -- and warp the financial incentives that underpin drug research and development in the long term.

Historically, drug companies have worked to bring medicines to market as quickly as possible. The sooner patients started taking a drug, the sooner the drugmaker could begin to recoup the

This strategy helped bring countless new treatments to patients who didn't have any other options. Since 2003, the Food and Drug Administration has approved more than 90 follow-on indications for orphan drugs, which treat rare diseases. The majority of cancer treatments from 2006 to 2012 were approved for at least one follow-on indication -roughly 40% of which were a different cancer subtype.

Unfortunately, thanks to the IRA, discoveries like these may soon be fewer and farther between.

The law's price controls are dressed up as "negotiations'' between Medicare and drugmakers. If a drugmaker declines to accept the government's offer, then it faces an excise tax of up to 95% on the drug in question's sales or must withdraw all its products -- not just the one subject to negotiations -- from Medicare and Medicaid.

These price controls will significantly shorten the period in which pharmaceutical companies can recoup their investments in research and development.

That's particularly true for small-molecule drugs -- typically pills -- which can be hit with price controls under the IRA after just nine years on the market.

Biologics -- usually injections or infusions -- aren't subject to price controls until 13 years after approval.

Roughly half of a medicine's sales are made after year nine, in years 10 to 13.

So it's only rational that some drug companies would adjust their research, development, and launch strategies accordingly.

Some may wait to seek approval until they've zeroed in on the largest patient population possible -- even if they're confident they could get approval faster for a smaller group of patients with a different disease.

The IRA is also scrambling drug companies' incentives to do further research into follow-on indications. Devoting time and money to find out if a drug can treat another disease may not make financial sense once the nine-year pricecontrol clock has started.

Patients will be the ones who pay the price for treatments delayed or never developed in the first place. That's not a win for the American people.

Fontana Unified Dedicates Unity Garden at Randall Pepper Elementary in Honor of O’Day Short Family Community News

M

embers from across the Fontana Unified community, including staff, students and elected dignitaries, gathered at Randall Pepper Elementary on Dec. 15 for the dedication of the O’Day Short Family Unity Garden that will serve as a living symbol of the District’s ongoing commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.

The O’Day Short Family Unity Garden commemorates the lives of O’Day, Helen, Carol Ann and Barry Short. The family is remembered for breaking Fontana’s color barrier in 1945.

All four members of the AfricanAmerican family died after their house burst into flames on Dec. 16, 1945.

Fontana Unified’s dedication ceremony included speeches from local pastors, District Board of Education President Marcelino “Mars” Serna, Superintendent Miki R. Inbody, Randall Pepper Principal Theresa Gomez and Dr. Daniel Walker, a historian, philanthropist, author, film director and former Randall Pepper student.

Student ambassadors welcomed Randall Pepper’s visitors, who passed by photographs of the O’Day Short family as they walked to the heart of the campus to reach the O’Day Short Family Unity Garden.

The Randall Pepper Choir performed “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot,” the African-American spiritual song, and fifth-grader Londyn Otis read the poem “Peace” by Sara Fox before a colorful peace pole – which reads “May Peace Prevail on Earth” in four different languages – was unveiled next to the garden.

“This garden is a chance for us to honor the lives that were taken from us,” Inbody said. “As we stand in the presence of this unity garden here, let it be a symbol of resilience, strength and solidarity. Gardens by their nature represent growth, renewal and the cycle of life. They remind us that from the seeds of sorrow we can cultivate hope and healing.”

Among the esteemed dignitaries who attended the event were City of Fontana Mayor Pro Tem Peter A. Garcia and

Treasurer Janet Koehler-Brooks, Fontana Unified Board of Education Vice President Adam Perez, Fontana Teachers Association President Mark Schulte, United Steelworkers Local 8599 President Dawn Dooley and representatives from the offices of San Bernardino County Supervisor Jesse Armendarez, San Bernardino County Board of Education Trustee Laura Mancha and San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools Ted Alejandre.

The O’Day Short family purchased and began building a home on a vacant, five-acre lot at Randall Avenue and Pepper Avenue in Fontana at a time when African-Americans were forbidden to live south of Baseline Avenue.

The O’Day Short family received threats of violence and offers from the Chamber of Commerce to buy back the property before their house was set ablaze.

An arson investigator hired by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) determined the fire was deliberately set from the exterior, according to a 2016 article

from the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin.

Randall Pepper Elementary School was later built on the site in 1950.

The O’Day Short Family Unity Garden came to life thanks to the collaboration of the Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA) and the Chino Basin Water Conservation District under the umbrella of the IEUA’s Garden in Every School program. In addition to serving as a living monument to the O’Day Short family, the garden will serve as a learning center for generations of students exploring the world of science.

Randall Pepper Elementary will continue to honor the O’Day Short family by holding an annual Unity Assembly each December to celebrate the many cultures and ethnicities that comprise its local and global community.

“There is a legacy to live up to here at Randall Pepper,” Gomez said. “It is an honor to commemorate the lives of the O’Day Short Family who chose to take a stand in their world.”

The Latest Pacemakers Lower Risk, Enhance Personalized Treatment

PHOTO LLUCH

Kotak compares and contrasts different pacemakers' features, including size, shape, and capability.

Community News

A

dvancements in pacemaker technology are opening new doors for patients, says Kamal M. Kotak, MD, a cardiac electrophysiologist at Loma Linda University International Heart Institute. He and experts at the International Heart Institute are leaders in the region for implanting the latest FDA-approved pacemakers, which lower patients’ risk for medical complications and offer more precise, personalized solutions for managing heart rhythm disorders.

Pacemakers help support the heart's electrical system, which controls the heartbeat, says Kotak. Electricity in the heart begins in a group of cells at the top of the heart and spreads to the bottom, causing the heart to contract and pump blood.

He says aging, heart muscle damage, and certain genetic conditions can cause a slowing of heart rhythm that may require a pacemaker — a small device implanted in the chest with wires (leads) connecting to the heart to prevent it from beating too slowly.

New pacemaker techinques, such as leadless pacemakers and cardiac conduction system pacemakers, achieve what traditional pacemakers can by sending electrical signals to help the heart beat properly while offering a more tailored fit to patients.

The leadless pacemaker is self-contained, Kotak says, meaning that, unlike traditional pacemakers placed in a patient's chest with leads connecting to the heart, leadless pacemakers are implanted directly into the heart’s right ventricle by minimally invasive method — without cuts or stitches.

While the leadless pacemaker is not for everyone, Kotak says there are specific scenarios where it can

be used instead of a traditional pacemaker. He says the traditional pacemaker remains the standard method of pacing the heart.

Conduction system pacemakers, also called left bundle branch area pacemakers (LBBAP), are the newest on the scene, Kotak says. He says that its design helps the heart's electrical signals move in a more coordinated and natural way with one wire instead of several.

This feature spares patients from dyssynchrony, a condition that may develop in up to 15% of patients with traditional pacemakers experience. It can lead to severe weakening of the heart or symptoms of heart failure. In addition, Kotak says LBBAP serves as an alternative and at times a superior option for a select group of patients who need cardiac resynchronization therapy.

Louise Correnti, 76, received a cardiac conduction system pacemaker in June, restoring her health. She first noticed her shortness of breath in April when performing everyday activities, such as walking her dogs in Beaumont. She says she was surprised by this symptom, given she attends Pilates four days a week and has been an avid motorcycle rider for three decades.

After a few weeks of her smartwatch logging low heart rate, Correnti contacted her care team at Loma Linda University Health (LLUH). Within days, Correnti met with International Heart Institute experts who remotely monitored her heart using a wearable harness device and determined the next steps.

“I was impressed with how swiftly the LLUH care teams moved,” says Correnti, who was out running errands when she received a call saying she needed

a pacemaker that day.

Kotak says Correnti had a complete heart block, meaning the electrical impulses that control the heartbeat fail to pass between the top and bottom chambers of the heart.

A complete block can affect blood flow to the body and brain, leading to complications including fainting with injury, low blood pressure, damage to internal organs, and cardiac arrest.

Correnti says she didn’t fully grasp the gravity of her condition at the time but is thankful that Kotak and the team saved her life with the conduction system pacemaker.

A retired esthetician, Correnti embraces her active lifestyle and even started playing pickleball after recovering from her procedure. She continues to travel by motorcycle or plane (she recently visited Cancun) while keeping an eye on her home monitor connected to her pacemaker.

Though a remote monitoring program, Kotak says he and his team use an advanced software to keep track of patients’ heart rate, heart rhythm, and pacemaker activity.

Monitors alert patients and their care teams of any unusual activity and issue an early warning for any malfunction.

“Our care teams can leverage advances in pacemaker and remote monitoring technology to optimize care for people like Mrs. Correnti,” Kotak says.

Notice To Potential Bidders: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the 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.

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.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the 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 avail-

able to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.
