he San Bernardino City Council unanimously elevated 5th Ward Councilwoman Kim Knaus to mayor pro tem on Dec. 17, selecting a north-end representative to step into the leadership role after Councilman Juan Figueroa’s one-year term.

PHOTO MANNY SANDOVAL Former Mayor Pro Tem Juan Figueroa raises his right hand when he took the oath of office to serve again as San Bernardino’s 3rd Ward councilman on Dec. 18, 2024.

Before the vote, Figueroa thanked his colleagues for what he described as a year of support and collaboration, saying the position carries responsibilities beyond substituting for the mayor.

Knaus replaces Figueroa, the 3rd Ward councilman who was not re-elected by the council to continue as mayor pro tem after completing his term. Knaus accepted the role with a brief statement.

“Well, first of all, I want to say thank you to my colleagues for your help. For your trust and support of me being the mayor pro tem over this last year,” Figueroa said. “It certainly was an honor.” He said the role can serve as a bridge among council members, especially during disagreements, and can help build what he described as a support system.

“I accept. Thank you,” Knaus said.

“The role of mayor pro tem isn’t only just

necessarily filling in for those brief moments that the mayor might step out or might be away,” he said. “It is also an opportunity — a big responsibility — to meet with colleagues at times, talk things out, provide guidance, maybe some advice, and help process thoughts and feelings. It’s about getting to know each other and building some type of support system.” Figueroa said the year gave him a chance to connect individually with colleagues and understand their priorities. “Having been unanimously nominated as City Council, Cont. on next pg.

10 New California Laws Taking Effect Jan. 1, 2026, From Plastic Bags to IVF Coverage, and Minimum Wage By Manny Sandoval

alifornia’s annual January law changeover is almost here. After the Legislature sends bills to the governor and they are signed, most “regular session” statutes take effect on Jan. 1 of the following year unless a law sets a different date or is passed as an urgency measure, according to the California Secretary of State.

Happy New Year! Do not drink and drive.

In 2025, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed 794 bills into law, according to a CalMatters tally of measures that reached his desk — though not all of those changes take effect on Jan. 1, and some have later start dates written into the bill text.

1) Plastic checkout bags: the rules tighten again (SB 1053, 2024).

California is moving to a stricter phase of its bag law. Under SB 1053, stores that charge for checkout bags will be limited to recycled paper carryout bags that meet state requirements. This builds on California’s earlier single-use bag restrictions — notably SB 270 (2014) — and is aimed at reducing litter and waste while standardizing what qualifies as an allowable “checkout bag.” 2) IVF and infertility coverage: delayed, then expanding (SB 729, delayed by AB 116). One of the most closely watched health-policy changes is SB 729, which requires large-group health plans in California to cover infertility diagnosis and treatment, including in vitro fertilization. The requirement was pushed back to Jan. 1, 2026 after lawmakers and the governor approved a delay through AB 116 (a budget-related meaNew Laws, cont. next pg.

New Laws (cont.)

City Council (cont.) - mayor pro tem over this last year, I’ve had an opportunity to meet and speak with every single one of you individually and learn a little bit more about each of you — what your goals are, what your visions are,” he said. “We’ll agree and disagree on things, but I wanted to say thank you to all of you.”

Mayor Helen Tran praised Figueroa’s tenure, calling his approach objective and steady. “You have been such a fabulous Mayor Pro Tem during the time you have served,” Tran said. “You have been very objective, very fair, and neutral. I thank you. You have done a great job.” Councilwoman Dr. Treasure Ortiz said she valued what she described as Figueroa’s accessibility and restraint, while emphasizing the role’s function alongside the mayor. “What I most appreciated about you was the open door and neutrality of it,” Ortiz said. “What’s important for anybody stepping into this role is understanding the complimentary role of the mayor pro tem towards the mayor. It’s that fluidity and moving professionally without any of that political banter and in the last year, your demonstration on the dias has been wonderful.” Councilman Fred Shorett also praised Figueroa’s work and said he was confident in Knaus moving forward.

“I want to remind everyone how fast a year goes by,” Shorett said. “I was pleased to have nominated you and you did a good job and took the job seriously. But, I have all the confidence in Ms. Knaus.” After the council’s selection, Figueroa urged officials to consider a clearer, more consistent process for choosing a mayor pro tem in future years, noting what he described as a lack of policy. “Given that there is a lack of policy as far as how we choose a mayor pro tem, I think it’s generally a good idea,” Figueroa said. He suggested the council could consider a framework tied to election cycles and newly seated council “cohorts,” while emphasizing he was offering an option, not a requirement. “So perhaps — and I’m not saying we have to do this — during election cycles, just to ensure everybody has a fair opportunity, we consider choosing individuals as they come in as an elected cohort,” he said. “I’m not saying it has to be that way. I’m just saying that’s a consideration.” Figueroa also offered support for Knaus as she took on the post. “I think that Councilmember Knaus, you certainly have the skills and leadership,” he said. “You’ve demonstrated that in the community. Just in my conversations with you as well. You listen and you take things into consideration. You’re very thoughtful.” Knaus represents San Bernardino’s 5th Ward, which covers the city’s north end.

NSG Impact’s 2026 Food Supply Threatened as PBS SoCal Honors Founder Darious Harris as Local Hero By Manny Sandoval

N

ever Stop Grinding Impact has spent years building a reliable lifeline for families who line up for its drive-up food and diaper distributions in Rialto. Now, founder and CEO Darious Harris says the food portion of that support is in jeopardy heading into 2026 — even as PBS SoCal recognizes him as a 2025 Local Hero. “We’re actually at our greatest challenge now,” Harris said in a Dec. 30 phone call. “The monthly food and diaper distribution that we’ve been doing for the past three years, where we serve over 500 families monthly, is facing disruption as our partner for the program no longer has the funds to give us next year.” Harris said a partner notified NSG Impact earlier this month that it may not be able to continue providing food, and he expects clarity in January. “They’re supposed to let us know in January if we’re going to be able to continue,” he said. “So we’re currently looking for other partners or food banks or somebody that can help us to keep it going.” The uncertainty is already landing in his Instagram messages. “I just received an Instagram message from a community member right before this call, asking, ‘Hey, are you guys having a food distribution next month?’” Harris said. “And I don’t have the answers yet.” In December, Harris said, Community Action Partnership of San Bernardino County helped keep the distribution afloat when food supplies tightened. “They sup-

ported us last month and provided us with chickens to give out, as well as cereal boxes,” he said. “They saved the distribution for the month of December.” The possible disruption comes during what Harris called the organization’s biggest funding year, one that included a Bank of America grant, participation in the IEHP Foundation’s Champions for Vibrant Health Leadership Network, and city-supported programming for Rialto youth. As NSG Impact searches for new food partners, Harris is also stepping into a wider public spotlight after PBS SoCal named him a 2025 Local Heroes honoree. Harris said the award was presented Dec. 4 during a ceremony at PBS SoCal’s headquarters in Burbank and that a segment about him and NSG Impact is expected to begin airing in January. “I didn’t even know that I was nominated,” Harris said. He credited the nomination to Rialto Police Department Lieutenant Lamont Quarker, saying Quarker told him the decision was rooted in personal experience. “Lieutenant Quarker said that when he grew up as a kid, he always wanted to know the faces behind the people that were helping others, giving food, giving backpacks, because he was one of those kids in line,” Harris said. “So the work that I do impacts him because it reminds him of the young Lamont.” For Harris, the recognition was unexpected and emotional. “When it all settled in, it just felt like such a blessing,” he said.

- sure), with supporters arguing the change would expand access to care that is often financially out of reach.

3) State minimum wage rises again (annual adjustment under California minimum-wage law). California’s minimum wage will increase to $16.90 per hour starting Jan. 1, 2026, under the state’s minimumwage framework that includes an annual adjustment. State labor officials say the update is designed to keep pace with economic conditions while providing a statewide wage floor for employers. 4) CARE Act eligibility expands to a new diagnosis category (SB 27). California’s courts will broaden eligibility for the Community Assistance, Recovery, and Empowerment (CARE) Act beginning Jan. 1. Under SB 27, eligibility will include individuals who have bipolar I disorder with psychotic features, expanding beyond the program’s earlier diagnostic categories. Supporters describe the change as a way to reach more people living with severe mental illness who may cycle through crises without stable treatment. 5) Red-light camera tickets shift to civil penalties (SB 720). Under SB 720, local governments can use an alternative automated redlight camera program where violations are treated as civil penalties. State summaries describe the approach as allowing tickets to be tied to the vehicle captured by the system rather than treating the incident like a traditional criminal-style infraction, and it is intended to reshape how automated enforcement is administered. 6) DUI ignition interlock program extended through 2033 (AB 366). California is extending its statewide ignition interlock device framework for certain DUI offenders. AB 366 keeps the program in place until Jan. 1, 2033, continuing the approach that allows eligible drivers to seek restricted driving privileges if an ignition interlock device is installed. State transportation officials describe the extension as part of an effort to reduce repeat impaired driving. 7) “Slow down, move over” expands to more stopped vehicles (AB 390). The existing “move over” rule is getting broader. AB 390 expands the requirement to slow down and move over when approaching a stationary

vehicle to include any stationary vehicles displaying flashing hazard lights or other warning devices, including certain maintenance vehicles. The goal, state safety agencies say, is to reduce roadside crashes that endanger workers, stranded drivers and emergency responders. 8) License plate “blockers”: new penalty targets California manufacturers (AB 1085). California is cracking down on devices designed to defeat plate readers and toll cameras. AB 1085 makes it an infraction — with a $1,000 fine — to manufacture in California a product intended to obscure or interfere with the visual or electronic reading of a license plate. State officials describe the law as a response to toll evasion and other crimes linked to plate-obscuring products. 9) E-bike rear visibility requirement expands beyond nighttime (AB 544). Under AB 544, electric bicycles must have a rear red reflector or a red light with a built-in reflector during all hours of operation, not only after dark. The measure also allows completion of a CHP-developed online safety course to satisfy certain training requirements tied to youth helmet violations. The change is aimed at improving visibility and safety as e-bike use grows. 10) E-bike and battery safety standards tighten for sales statewide (SB 1271). Beginning Jan. 1, California will require many e-bikes, powered mobility devices, batteries and charging systems to meet specified safety standards verified by accredited laboratory testing, and products must be labeled to show compliance. State safety officials say the intent is to reduce hazards such as battery fires and electrical malfunctions by keeping noncompliant products out of the marketplace.

Wrightwood Christmas Flood Ravages Mountain Town: 50 Homes Critically Damaged, Road to Mt. High Collapses

A Wrightwood home sits precariously on an unstable foundation after floodwaters and debris flows washed away the soil and support beneath part of the structure.

Exposed tree roots and a sheared embankment show how floodwaters undercut the ground near a Wrightwood cabin, leaving the property perched above a newly carved channel.

rightwood California, to residents and visitors, is a picturesque Christmas town. The streets are lined with log cabins and mountain-style homes. Businesses and residents cover their buildings with Christmas lights, and the spirit of the holidays permeates the air. This community sits around 6,200 feet with a population under 5,000 residents. In the winter months, this small town nestled in the San Gabriel mountain range is usually blanketed with snow. However, Mother Nature seemed to have other plans this year for Christmas in Southern California. Between ten and 11 inches of rain fell in a matter of hours on the already devastated soil of Wrightwood and its surrounding forests. In early September of last year, the “Bridge Fire” ripped through the Los Angeles National Forest, burning 56,030 acres in its nearly 3 month lifespan. This removed much of the healthy foliage and root systems that help prevent erosion. Fast forward to Dec. 25th, 2025, where a massive coastal storm dumped an atmospheric river of moisture onto the town of Wrightwood. Very quickly, the top soil became over-saturated as the system of washes that drain water out to the high desert filled. Soon, the water level rose over the banks of the wash. This caused the deluge of water to make its own path through the streets. Carrying with it organic and

man-made debris. The new river system dragged itself through houses and roads soaking and burying everything in its path. Ryan Beckers, a spokesman for the San Bernardino County Fire Department, stated that somewhere around 50 homes were severely damaged, along with an additional 20 homes showing moderate damage. I spoke with long-time Wrightwood resident John Burcher as we watched the new river in his backyard sweep his back deck away into the distance. He told me in all his years of living here, he has never seen so much destruction. He lamented that if temperatures had been just a bit colder, all of this rain could have been snow. This sentiment was carried by many Wrightwood residents. Brittney Ladd, owner of local business, Traded Threads, said that the slow months of the summer are coasted through by how much tourism arrives in the winter months. With several sections of the road to the local ski resort, Mt. High collapsed, it is unclear whether winter tourists will be able to make it up to indulge in Los Angeles’s closest winter ski resort. However, residents are much more concerned with the amount of damage that has been done to their town and homes. With road collapses, home damage, loss of property and raw water damage, the community of Wrightwood is reeling from this latest natural disaster.

spirits are still surprisingly high despite this setback. Many residents were seen pitching in to clean up debris and restore access to the road for those trapped on the northern side of the wash that runs the length of the town. The upcoming days will show how much can be restored for those affected in this Christmas flood. For the affected members of the community, resources are available. The Wrightwood Community Center is distributing bottled water, coffee and a charging station for those without power. A shelter at Serrano High School was open to the public for people and small pets; but has since been changed to the Phelan Pinion Hills Community Services District and the Wrightwood Community Center. The Red Cross is also available via phone assistance at 800-7332767. Local businesses also pitched in. Pizzas were provided free of charge to residents by “Mile High Pizza”. Free sandwiches were also given out by the “Wrightwood Brew Co.” With plenty of readily available resources, and a community that is banding together to clean up the aftermath. This community will be able to bounce back quickly from this devastating Christmas flood. This article was written by Chaffey College Student and Wrightwood Resident Maximilian Morici.

Chaffey College Rising Scholars Expands Access in Local Men’s and Women’s State Prisons— Nearly 1,000 Served, 94% Pass Rate By Daniel Graham

haffey College’s Rising Scholars program aims to provide higher education to an often-forgotten population — people in California state prisons and those affected by the prison system. The program is part of California Community Colleges’ statewide network that “is committed to supporting system impacted students both during and after incarceration,” according to Chaffey’s equity and engagement website. With Rising Scholars programs at 91 campuses and 68 correctional facilities across California, the network seeks to empower incarcerated individuals as well as students who are impacted through family in the system by providing them resources to pursue a higher education. Formerly known as “Turning Point,” Chaffey College’s Rising Scholars program already has an established on-campus program that provides support through access to a community of educators and students that are navigating or

impacted by the justice and carceral systems. The program provides access to laptops, counseling and financial aid as well. Students within the Rising Scholars program also have access to Extended Opportunity Programs and Services (EOPS), counseling, Disability Programs and Services (DPS), and the student success centers that are led by other incarcerated students who are trained as tutors. These programs and services allow students to complete an associate’s degree within three years, even when incarcerated. Additionally, Chaffey College works with students at California Institution for Men (CIM) and the California Institutions for Women (CIW); the programs at these facilities have “served nearly one thousand students, with students passing 94% of the courses they’ve attempted,” according to their website. Following their release from prison, students who have completed the program have reportedly gone on to continue their education at Chaffey or other community colleges, while others have

pursued education at four-year universities such as UC Berkeley and San Diego State University. Bolstered by the credentials offered by a degree, graduates have found a 10% increase in employment after gaining the skills and connections necessary to overcome recidivism. The goal of the program is to “make it as equal as possible so they can have access to an [associate’s] degree, without any barriers,” said Charmaine Phipps, who has taught at both CIM and CIW since 2018. She claimed that the students in the program are “the highest students that we have at Chaffey across the board … Statistically, they get more A’s and A pluses much more than any other Chaffey students.” Beginning this year, Chaffey College began offering classes for students in the Rising Scholars program to earn their associate’s degree in journalism. According to the Chino Champion, Professor Ian Jones said that “[they]

were hoping to attract 25 students to the class and [they] ended up with 50.” With support from journalism students at Chaffey’s Rancho Cucamonga campus, the Rising Scholars program aims to lay the foundation for students at CIM to begin their own reporting through data collection and digital publishing. Chaffey’s student publication, The Breeze, will work alongside students at CIM to help them along in their journey by developing an external support team and providing research assistance. Following a trend in the state, there is a strong local effort to have the prison shut down. Already, the California Rehabilitation Center in Norco (just 20 minutes away from CIM) is slated to close in 2026. Despite this, the program serves as a testament to those behind the barbed-wire fence that they are not forgotten and a path to success is still available to them. This article was written by Daniel Graham and originally published by our media partners at The Breeze.

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.)

If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.
