Rialto Middle School student Emily, asked, “ What happens to the astronaut once they return to space, do you have any health problems or things you need to readjust to?” Glover responder, “Thats a really good question. We’re up here in micro-gravity where we’re able to float around and so when we get back to earth we have to get used to gravity again…so our balance can be affected. We have to get reacquainted to the pull of gravity each time.” Another Rialto local, Frankie from Dunn Elementary school asked Glover and Walker if germs spread at the same rate as they do on earth, or if microgravity affects the rate of growth?

The pair of astronauts explained to Frankie that his question was very good, but they did not have an answer for him. Overall, grateful students from seven local school districts were attentive and quite inquisitive with their questions, making their hometowns proud. “Astronauts Victor Glover and Shannon Walker are proof to kids across the Inland Empire that they too can make big dreams a reality,”! Rep. Norma J. Torres said.! “After a year of remote learning that has created new challenges for students and teachers alike, nothing could be more important than to encourage our youth to set their sights high. I thank Commander Glover, Dr. Walker and NASA for making this once-in-a-lifetime conversation a reality for our students.”

AB 855 Ramos bill to honor Califor nia Native Am er ic ans w ith pai d holi day a dva nces

T

he Assembly Judiciary Committee approved a measure on a bipartisan 10-0 vote to allow state and local court employees to receive a paid holiday in celebration of California Native American Day. “I am appreciative that the Judicial Council brought this forward,” Assemblymember James C. Ramos (D-Highland) said. “For more than 20 years, I have worked to help create a day that recognizes California’s First People and their history,” Ramos stated. "Our state has the greatest number of Native Americans residing within its boundaries, and it is fitting that we begin to expand our commem-

oration of this holiday.” “The Judicial Council of California and its chair, Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye, are committed to providing equal access and fairness in our justice system,” said Judge Marla O. Anderson, chair of the Judicial Council’s Legislation Committee. “By recognizing the importance of Native Americans we not only acknowledge our shortcomings in our state’s past treatment of them, we also celebrate their past and current contributions to our state.” AB 855 would amend the Code of Civil Procedure to recognize California Native American Day

as a judicial holiday to provide proper recognition for Native American people and celebrate their history in the state. It would not create an additional paid holiday for Judicial Council employees, but would exchange Columbus Day for California Native American Day. Court personnel are currently the only state workers receiving the paid October 12 holiday. Chris Wright, Chairman of the Dry Creek Rancheria Band of Pomo Indians, said, “I thank the Judicial Council and Assemblymember Ramos for bringing this bill forward.” He added, “My hope is that it spurs greater knowl-

Aguilar announces open application period for Community Project Funding proposals

R

ep. Pete Aguilar announced that his office is now accepting Community Project Funding (CPF) proposals for the Fiscal Year 2022 appropriations process. This targeted funding will allow Members of Congress to advocate for a maximum of 10 projects that serve the needs of their communities, and is available to nonprofit and local government entities. Rep. Aguilar’s office is accepting proposals through Wednesday, April 14, 2021. To learn more about the process and how to submit a proposal, interested organizations can visit https://aguilar.house.gov/services/community-project-funding. “As a former mayor, I’ve seen firsthand how direct federal investment in our communities can help drive progress, create jobs and spur our local economies. I’m proud to accept Community Project Funding proposals from members of our community, and look

forward to advocating for funding for projects that will help meet the needs of Inland Empire residents. As this process unfolds, my office will continue to be a transparent partner for our community to ensure the Inland Empire gets its fair share of this funding,” said Aguilar. To ensure projects are a good use of taxpayer funds, the House Appropriations Committee has established a number of requirements. The Committee has banned Community Project Funding for forprofit recipients, and has mandated that non-profit entities must provide documentation of their 501(c)(3) status. Requesting entities must ensure that they can meet relevant matching requirements and can execute funding by September 30, 2021. Further, all projects must demonstrate strong evidence of community support, including: •Letters in support of the project

from elected community leaders •Press articles highlighting the need for the requested Community Project Funding •Support from editorial boards of local newspapers •Documentation that projects are listed on state or local use plans, community development plans, or other publicly available planning documents, including State Improvement Plans or Metropolitan Improvement Plans •Resolutions passed by city councils or school boards. Each project selected will be posted publicly and available to view at Aguilar.House.gov. Organizations with questions are encouraged to contact the office at RepAguilar.Appropriations@mail .house.gov or 202-225-3201.

edge and respect for California tribal cultures and history. This is a step toward correcting inaccuracies and omissions of our history and highlighting the importance of California Native American tribes in our State’s governmental structures.” The Judicial Council, which is sponsoring AB 855, voted in January to seek authority to ensure California Native American Day is designated as a judicial holiday. Ramos noted paid judicial holidays are designated in a different code section from holidays recognized by other state agencies. Non-judicial holidays are designated in the Government Code, but court holidays are established in the Code of Civil Procedure. Chief Judge Abby Abinanti, Yurok Tribe member and co-chair of the Tribal Court-State Court Forum, shared the following re-

sponse to AB 855: “To be seen, it is a long awaited and welcomed first step by the justice system, the beginning of an effort to be inclusive of our first citizens." Ramos said he and other people began efforts to honor California Native Americans more than two decades ago when he was an elected San Manuel Tribal Government council member. “We were aided by then-Assemblymember Joe Baca, who successfully introduced legislation in 1998 to create a non-paid official state holiday for California’s First People. Baca went on to introduce similar legislation as a Member of Congress.” Co-authors are Assemblymembers Ed Chau (D-Monterey Park), Lorena Gonzalez (D-San Diego), Chris Holden (D-Pasadena), Ash Kalra (D-San Jose) and Eloise Gómez Reyes (D-Riverside).

law, who holds them accountable? What about the largest law enforcement agency in the nation, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)?. Immigrants and advocates constantly wonder why an agency was created that can function with basic impunity and can conspire with private entities such as the GEO group to find loopholes in policy and circumvent laws in the name of profit, on the backs of immigrant lives. Like many others, I was shocked to learn about the for-profit detention centers that were being built all over the country, including the one in the city of Adelanto. Detaining immigrants is the profit-driven government practice of incarcerating human beings while they wait for a decision on their immigration status or future deportation. As a first-generation immigrant and faith organizer, I have to add that this practice of imprisoning immigrants is rooted in the oppressive practice to criminalize people of color. What is shocking is that most people do not know that in the United States, taxpayers spend $149.58 on average to detain a person in a private immigrant prison per day. And with 1,940 persons detained in the city of Adelanto, the GEO facility which manages this site, has definitely been making a good profit. GEO is a prison interest corporation and is always looking to expand jails, prisons, and detention industries in rural places that are far removed from the public eye and interest. Rural cities that are experiencing financial hardships are the perfect place for these places. The city of Adelanto, located in the high desert area in Southern California, offered just that. In 2010 the GEO Group bought the facility from the City of Adelanto for $28 million. Yes, that means that my and your hard-earned tax contribution are being used to demonize, criminalize, separate families, cage, and traumatize people with the justification that a law was broken. The organization I worked for back in 2010 was a partner of the newly formed Inland Coalition for Immigrants Justice and through the collective work, we began hearing stories of people being picked up in ICE raids, road checkpoints, and even school bus pickup locations. Hearing these stories broke my heart. Learning that there was a federal mandate to fill this detention center, angered me. Back then this was information known to immigrant rights activists, organizers, and lawyers. But when we shared these facts people refused to believe that this was happening in the U.S. It took many prayer vigils and ac-

would learn about this immigrant detention center in the city of Adelanto along with all of their human rights abuses. We have come a long way in sharing these stories and humanizing persons in detention while advocating for their release. For years, local and state organizations have worked to highlight and try to stop these human rights abuses. State legislation, such as SB29 (the Dignity Not Detention Act) was passed to ensure that our local government is not complicit in private immigration detention expansion in the state of California. AB 32 barred the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) from entering into or renewing a contract with a private prison company after January 1, 2020. This has been a collective work of many years only to see these laws being circumvented by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the GEO Corporation, and city council members in the City of Adelanto. This article speaks about how the community was ignored as GEO and some city council members pushed for another expansion last year. Circumvention of state laws that will stop when the United States finally abolishes this oppressive practice that criminalizes and harms people for profit. For now, we, Interfaith Movement for Human Integrity, the Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice, Detention Watch Network, and Dignity not Detention Coalition will continue to work with people in detention and helping their families share stories of this harmful practice to make it public through prayer vigils, actions, and events. The next event is ICE on Trial via Zoom on Sunday, March 28, 2021. This is a public event where we will hear stories from those impacted by detention. Judges, chosen by the people, will be present and will hear these stories along with grievances, and after a listening session, they will give a verdict. While this may not be a real trial, it is a way to share the many injustices and human rights violations people undergo while in detention centers. It is also a good way to remind us that these injustices are committed with our tax contributions.

Over the decades, Congress has created a number of programs intended to help the poor, the sick, the downtrodden. As a result, certain businesses and industries find ways to exploit these efforts and profit in ways lawmakers never foresaw or intended. That explains today's rampant abuse of the 340B drug discount program. Congress created the program in 1992 to make sure low-income and uninsured people could access prescription medicine at more affordable prices. But three decades on, thanks to loopholes and a lack of transparency, thousands of hospitals, clinics and pharmacies exploit 340B discounts without sharing their take with needy patients. It's time for Congress to get this well-intentioned program back on track, with strict limits on how health care providers can use

340B. The program requires pharmaceutical companies that participate in the federal Medicaid program to provide discounts on outpatient medicine to safety-net hospitals and clinics that provide free or discounted care to poor and uninsured patients. Institutions in the system save 25 to 50 percent on drug purchases. Ideally, these significant savings would be passed on to sick people -- as Congress intended. But the 340B policy has a builtin flaw: The threshold for hospitals to qualify for drug discounts is low. Suppose a doctor writes a patient a prescription following surgery at a 340B-covered hospital. The hospital may buy that drug at a discounted price of $750, but bill the patient for up to the full market price of $1,500. The hospital

keeps the difference, profiting off either the patient or the insurer. Once this incentive structure was in place, hospitals clamored to get in on the action. When the program launched in 1992, there were just 45 hospitals in the 340B system. Today, there are 2,580. Many of these hospitals are located in affluent areas, delivering very little care to society's most disadvantaged patients. In fact, nearly two-thirds of 340B hospitals and clinics provide less charity care than the national average, according to the health care consulting firm Avalere. The problem has become worse in the last decade. At the program's outset, the government allowed the small number of 340B hospitals and clinics without in-house pharmacies to contract with for-profit pharmacies to dispense prescriptions. In 2010, though, new federal guidance allowed any 340B hospital to use an unlimited number of contract pharmacies, even if they already had one in-house. That rule change encouraged pharmacies to get in on the racket. The number of contract pharmacy arrangements in the 340B system grew from 2,321 in 2010 to 100,451 in 2020, an astonishing 4,200 percent increase, according to a study from the Berkeley Research Group. Most contract drug stores belong to major chains. The GAO estimates that CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Rite Aid, and Kroger make up 60 percent of all 340B pharmacies. Congress can fix the problem by changing the current incentive structure, which just lures more and more businesses to try to profit off of 340B, and demanding transparency from providers. Then, perhaps, the program can return to financially benefiting vulnerable patients rather than the medical industrial complex.

San Manuel highlights 5 fascinating women for Women’s History Month

San Manuel is highlighting five women during Women’s History Month, they are, from left: Lt. Erika Coil, Gena Fowlkes, Ann Martgan, Samantha Vega and Gina Zamudio.

S

an Manuel is celebrating Women’s History Month by spotlighting five fascinating women. These five women hold unique leadership roles protecting the health and safety of Tribal citizens, San Manuel team members and guests. They are everyday heroes behind the scenes. The San Manuel Band of Mission Indians has been celebrating women in leadership roles all month on social media and on video displays throughout the property. Honoring women is a longstanding part of the culture of San Manuel. The Serrano women of San Manuel have played immeasurable roles in the history of the Tribe. It was predominately female framers who drafted and adopted the tribal governing documents. The Tribe continues to value the contributions of the women throughout the enterprise. The five women spotlighted below go above and beyond the call of duty every day. Lieutenant Erika Coil – Department of Public Safety – San Manuel Band of Mission Indians Before beginning her career with the San Manuel Department of Public Safety’s Entertainment Detail, as a member of the highly visible San Manuel Honor Guard in 2010, Lieutenant Erika Coil served 12 years with the United States Army Reserves as a Psychological Operations Sergeant. Her distinctive military career took her on two combat tours to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. She is the proud recipient of both a Combat Action Badge and a Bronze Star. In 2012, Lieutenant Coil was selected as one of two explosive detection canine handlers for the San Manuel Department of Public Safety that would later assist in response to the 2015 San Bernardino Terrorist attack. At the time when Lieutenant Coil was assigned as handler, canine explosive detection dogs were

scarce, and having one for a department was rare. According to Lieutenant Coil, “My greatest achievement as a canine handler was when my canine partner, Indy, and I were called to assist Loma Linda Hospital after it received several bomb threats because all of the victims of the shooting were sent there. Hospital workers found a suspicious box on the maternity ward’s roof and Indy and I responded. We searched the area and deemed the box and the area safe.” Since 2018, Lieutenant Coil has served in her current role where she is now responsible for all new hire training including advance officer training and annual certifications for firearms qualifications, Taser, and CPR training. In reflecting on the last decade at San Manuel, Lieutenant Coil adds, “I love working for San Manuel and look forward to the years and opportunities that lay ahead.” Gena Fowlkes – Fire Apparatus Engineer – San Manuel Band of Mission Indians Fire Department Gena Fowlkes began a career in fire service in 1994 at the US Forest Service before joining the San Manuel Fire Department where she recently celebrated 15 years of service. In conjunction with a fire service career, Fowlkes also enjoys her role as an educator of first responders. As a Medical Unit Leader, she is responsible for the development of the Medical Emergency Plan which provides emergency medical treatment to personnel during catastrophic emergencies such as hurricanes, wildfires, earthquakes and volcanoes nationwide. She was assigned as a Medical Unit Leader on the Island of Hawaii in support of the Kilauea volcano eruption in 2018. She is also part of a Federal Incident management Team (IMT). Fowlkes has represented the San Manuel Fire Department on the

San Bernardino Interagency Communications Committee (SINC) since 2012, ensuring that San Manuel radio communications and equipment remain compliant with state and federal emergency plans and procedures.

According to Fowlkes, “I like the family atmosphere at San Manuel. We’re all there to solve problems and learn from each other. It makes the day-to-day working environment very rewarding.”

After a six-year career in Corrections, Sergeant Vega joined San Manuel as a Public Safety Assistant in 2008. She rose through the ranks as Public Safety Officer, Field Training Officer and is now serving in her current role as DPS Sergeant.

The legacy of Cesar Chavez

M

arch marks the birth month of Cesar Chavez, who played an important part in the fight for agricultural farm worker rights. In order to honor his life’s work, we wanted to share some information about him and the legacy he left behind. Chavez, a farmworker himself, dedicated his life to improving the treatment, pay, and working conditions for farmworkers in America. Cesar Chavez was a good man who dedicated his life to helping others. Cesar Chavez was born on March 31, 1927, in Arizona. In the 1930s, Cesar Chavez’s father lost his business because of the Great Depression. In 1937, a severe drought forced the family to give up the ranch where they were living, and the following year, Cesar and his family packed their belongings and headed to California in search of work. In California, they became part of the migrant community, traveling from one county to another picking fruits and vegetables during the harvest, living in numerous migrant camps and often sleeping in their car. After attending more than 30 elementary schools, Cesar graduated from the eighth grade in 1942. Around that same time, his father had been in an accident and was insistent that Cesar’s mother not work in the fields. Having both his mother and father out of work meant Cesar could not to go on to high school. Instead, he quit school and worked full-time in the

fields to support his family. In 1944 at age 17, Cesar enlisted in the United States Navy and served in World War II. After completing a two year duty, he returned to California. In 1948 Cesar married his girlfriend, Helen Fabela, moved into a oneroom shack in Delano, CA, and started their family of 7 children. Life changed for Cesar when he met a man named Fred Ross. Fred Ross believed that if people worked together they could make their communities better. Fred Ross hired Cesar to work for him with the Community Service Organization (CSO) he founded in 1948. Chavez became a community organizer and began his lifelong campaign for civil rights and justice. Cesar Chavez’s passion was helping others gain the rights and respect every human deserves, but he was especially focused on helping the agricultural workers in America improve their working and living conditions. Using the training and skills he gained working with the CSO and Fred Ross, Cesar left the CSO and founded the National Farm Worker Association (NFWA). Cesar and the workers who joined the NFWA wanted the companies and growers that owned farms to respect their laborers by providing them with fresh water to drink, bathrooms in the fields, and fair pay for their work.

Some companies and growers who refused to treat farm workers with respect and dignity did everything they could to stop Cesar and the farm workers, at times even turning to violence and hurting many farm workers and the people helping them. Cesar, however, believed change could be made without the use of violence. In 1965, Cesar Chavez and the NFWA led a strike of California grape-pickers to demand higher wages. Cesar urged the farm laborers of America to yell, “Sí se puede! — Yes, we can!” in order to be heard. In addition to the strike, they encouraged all Americans to boycott table grapes as a show of support. Within a few years, and after many strikes, some growers agreed to provide better working conditions for the farm laborers. Chavez recognized the injustices suffered by those who work hard to provide food to Americans. He spent his life peacefully promoting rights for farmworkers, which led to improved living and working conditions for minority groups across the United States. Cesar Chavez died on April 23, 1993. His birthday, March 31st, is celebrated in California, Texas and other states and is the first and only holiday honoring a MexicanAmerican. People all over the world remember Cesar Chavez as a man of courage who fought to improve the lives of all people.

Said sale will be made in an “AS IS” condition, but without covenant or expressed or warranty, implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to-wit: $102,262.36 (Estimated). Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. 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. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call, 916939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website, www.nationwideposting.com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 9462-6346. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale

may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 916939-0772, or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting.com using the file number assigned to this case, 94626346, to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further Default recourse.

“We want to have different perspectives and voices to bring up something informative, but also this presents an opportunity to have conversations about sensitive issues, and those sensitive issues, I think, haven’t been addressed very well on the national level,” Vásquez said.

When it comes to your health, it’s not just an individual, it’s a whole community. We want to make sure that the students and the community are informed so that they can share this information within their own homes and that communication can keep expanding.” For more information about how to attend the COVID-19 forum series, or to watch past recordings, visit valleycollege.edu/covid-forums.
