n Tuesday Feb. 25, Rialto City Council voted to extend a moratorium on new warehouse developments for an additional six months, shortening the original proposed extension of 10 months and 15 days. The decision, which followed a discussion about zoning regulations and the city’s long-term development plans, pushes the moratorium’s expiration to Aug. 26, 2025.

The moratorium, initially adopted on Jan. 28 under emergency ordinance 1697, tem-

porarily halts the “establishment, expansion, or intensification” of warehouses and fulfillment centers. The extension aims to give city officials time to review zoning regulations, consider potential rezoning in specific areas and establish appropriate guidelines for “indoor storage facilities” according to AB 98 regulations.

Daniel Casey, the city’s principal planner, presented the ordinance. However, concerns about the timeframe arose among council members.

“I have a little bit of an issue with your

time frame on this,” said Mayor Pro Tem Ed Scott. “Because we had asked that [the] staff move in a much faster manner to address the zoning issues, and I think 10 months is a long time.”

City Attorney Eric Vail noted that the council had the option to reduce the extension while still allowing staff enough time to complete their review.

“The alternative is to reduce the time,” Vail said. “Staff indicates in the staff report they feel that they can keep the necessary Warehousing, cont. on next pg.

- work within six months. So one alternative you could have tonight would be to make the moratorium last no longer than six months.”

After deliberation, the council voted in favor of the shorter extension, aligning the moratorium’s expiration with a scheduled council meeting.

“I suggest that we have the moratorium end on August 26, 2025,” Vail added. “The reason being that it coincides with a council meeting.”

During the moratorium, new applications for warehouse projects will be accepted but will not move forward until the city finalizes new regulations or the moratorium expires.

The decision reflects growing concerns over warehouse expansion in Rialto and the broader Inland Empire, as industrial development has led to increased resident scrutiny over its economic and environmental impact.

However, according to Center for Community Action and Environmental Justice (CCAEJ) Executive Director Ana Gonzalez, the moratorium lacks clarity from the council.

“We've been having conversations . . . about . . . this . . . moratorium,” Gonzalez said, “and not hearing any clear goals and outcomes, makes me feel that it's performative.”

Despite the shortcomings, Gonzalez said community groups aim to leverage the moratorium to influence the council to improve warehouse regulation beyond AB 98 requirements.

“Now we're moving quickly with the community to start mobilizing and hosting community meetings to produce a good neighbor policy out of this,” Gonzalez said. “So although we have AB 98, the city has the responsibility to go above and beyond what the state requires.”

She explained the policy as a way for communities form grassroots coalitions to manage warehouse construction, including solar installation requirements and community benefits agreements (CBA).

acing a $24 million deficit in its electric utility, the Colton City Council held a special meeting on Feb. 24 to review an electric rate study and discuss potential rate increases, with implementation targeted for October 2025.

The workshop, led by the city’s utility rate consultant Amber Gschwend, examined the cost of service and financial sustainability of the city’s electric utility.

The study, which forecasts rates from 2025 to 2029, aims to align costs with expenditures while ensuring long-term reliability, safety, and compliance with state mandates.

City’s Financial Challenges and Proposed Adjustments Colton’s last base rate increase occurred in 2009, with decreases in 2011 and 2013. Measure D implemented a rate freeze from 2016 to 2021, leaving the city with a $24 million deficit before the implementation of an 8.5 cent per kilowatt-hour (kWh) Power Cost Adjustment (PCA) in April 2023.

Gschwend outlined that power costs increased by $17 million in a single year, further straining the city’s resources. To address these financial concerns, the study recommends no rate increase in 2025, instead utilizing reserves to cover costs. Incremental rate adjustments would follow: 3% in 2026, 2% in 2027 and 2028, and 1% in 2029.

State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond announced that 74 continuation high schools throughout California have earned the Model Continuation High School (MCHS) distinction this year.

These schools offer exemplary instructional approaches, flexible scheduling, and robust guidance and counseling services. Superintendent Thurmond remarked, “The priority of our Model Continuation High Schools is to give students more than a diploma. The teachers and administrators aim to provide students with a student-centered approach that meets their diverse academic, social, and emotional needs, and opportunities to explore options beyond high school.”

Nearly 49,000 students are en-

“A lot of cities produce these good neighbor policies . . . to update their city codes and requirements when it comes to warehouse . . . construction and development,” she said.

Projected rate revenue is expected to rise from $53.9 million in 2025 to $87.4 million in 2029, while PCA revenue is projected to drop from $27.8 million in 2025 to just $619,924 in 2029.

Operating and maintenance expenses are forecasted to increase from $60.9 million in 2025 to $71 million in 2029.

Colton also faces additional costs from aging infrastructure, wildfire hardening, system expansion, and state-mandated electrification and fleet conversion requirements, which could total between $6 million and $10 million.

Public Reaction and Council Debate During public comment, longtime resident and owner of Nickelodeon Pizza, Gary Grossich, questioned the study’s revenue projections and suggested more frequent rate evaluations. presentation.

“Interesting They're showing revenues of $53 million. I don’t know if we’re expecting a 15-20% drop in utility revenues,” Grossich said. “The city of Colton has been a success story; we’ve lowered rates twice, and residents have benefited. I’d like to offer a suggestion that we need to do a rate study every three to five years, not 15 years later.”

Teacher, explained the basis for the award, “The CCEA Plus awarded this distinction to us, again, because we fulfilled its tenets of teaching the whole child, from focusing on our students’ academic growth to concentrating on their SEL wellbeing as well.”

Fabian Lopez, MHS teacher, shared his experience, “In the two years I’ve taught here, I’ve been amazed countless times at how our staff helps facilitate student growth. Milor High School excels in fostering student success through the combined efforts of a supportive staff and admin, which results in an ideal learning environment for our students.”

MHS will be honored at the CCEA Plus 2025 State Conference alongside other Model Continuation High Schools.

Schools earning this recognition retain the title for three years and serve as mentors and models for continuation high schools throughout California.

Jordan Acree, MHS senior student and District Student Advisory Committee member, expressed, “Milor isn’t just a school, it’s a second chance.

The teachers here see us for who we are and help us become who we want to be.”

Dr. Edward D’Souza, Acting Rialto USD Superintendent, affirmed, “I firmly believe that every student deserves a robust, high-quality education that prepares them for the challenges of tomorrow. Our dedicated teachers and supportive staff, along with our innovative programs, ensure that students are wellprepared for their futures.”

rolled in 429 continuation high schools statewide. The Model Continuation High School designation recognizes those who go above and beyond in delivering exceptional academic and social opportunities, ensuring students receive vital resources, mentorship, and guidance.

T

he Aquinas High School boys basketball team etched its name into the record books on March 1st, capturing the CIFSouthern Section Division 3A championship with a hardfought victory over San Dimas at Toyota Arena. The win marks the Falcons’ first CIF title since 2021 and the first under head coach Daryl Pegram.

“This season has been all about consistent growth,” Pegram said. “At the beginning of the year, we set goals, and as the season progressed, we went on this incredible run.”

Despite entering the playoffs with a 16-16 record, Aquinas battled through a challenging postseason, proving that earlyseason adversity helped prepare them for the championship stage. The Falcons finished second in league play behind Arrowhead Christian Academy but turned their season around when it mattered most.

“We played a lot of Division 1 and 2 schools early in the year, and while we took some tough losses, it helped us get ready for league and the playoffs,” Pegram said. “Competing against high-level teams put us in a position to succeed when it counted.”

Led by standout seniors

Laron Hall and Malachi Jones, the Falcons delivered a championship performance backed by a strong sense of unity both on and off the court.

“Our first goal was to win the league title, and we finished second. Our second goal was to win CIF, and we had the opportunity to accomplish that this past Saturday,” Pegram said. “But the ultimate goal is always about growth and development, and this team has truly embraced that mindset.”

The championship journey was bolstered by unwavering school spirit, with the Aquinas community rallying behind the team. The Falcons’ student section, widely regarded as one of the best in the Inland Empire, packed the stands alongside dedicated parents and fellow student-athletes.

“Our fans travel, and we easily have the best student section in the Inland Empire,” Pegram said. “The baseball and football teams come out to support us, and we’re fortunate to have such a committed parent group. It’s a blessing to be part of a school where there’s that level of support.”

Natasha Williams, parent of Aquinas player Juliyahs Mareno, highlighted the emotional impact of the team’s journey.

“As a parent, it’s been in-

credible to watch the energy at these games,” Williams said.

“There’s so much excitement and passion from the players.

You can really feel how much effort and heart these kids are putting into every game.”

She credited teamwork and coaching as key factors in the Falcons’ success.

“They support each other, communicate well, and trust one another and the coaching staff,” Williams added. “It’s not just about individual talent; it’s about teamwork, determination, and a shared goal. Watching them grow together and achieve these victories has been such a rewarding experience.”

In recognition of their historic achievement, Pegram is requesting the City Council to honor the team at its upcoming meeting. He has also invited Dr. Patricia Ortiz to celebrate the championship and asked the mayor’s office to prepare certificates for the players.

Aquinas was one of only three Inland Empire schools to compete in a CIF-SS championship game this season, joining Ramona and Kaiser High Schools.

The championship victory reinforces Aquinas’ standing as a formidable basketball program and sets the stage for continued success under Pegram’s leadership.

T

he City of San Bernardino Department of Animal Services was the victim of an early morning break-in on Wednesday, February 26 at its facility, resulting in the release of dozens of dogs and the discovery of four escaped dogs placed in a nearby trash dumpster.

Authorities were on the scene shortly after the break-in and a person of interest is in custody on unrelated charges.

A white 2021 Ford Mustang is seen wrecked on Merrill Avenue in Rialto after a high-speed crash on Feb. 21, 2025, that killed 33-year-old Rachel Martin, with driver Joshua Cardenas, 28, arrested for gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated.

A

33-year-old woman was killed in a highspeed crash on Feb. 21 in Rialto, and the driver, who fled the scene, has been arrested on suspicion of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, authorities said.

The Rialto Police Department received reports of the singlevehicle collision at 8:17 p.m. near Merrill Avenue and Cactus Avenue. Officers arrived within minutes, finding a white 2021 Ford Mustang wrecked in the westbound lanes after striking multiple trees.

The passenger, Rachel Martin, 33, of Rialto, sustained lifethreatening injuries. Rialto Fire Department personnel attempted life-saving measures, but Martin was pronounced dead at 8:25 p.m., police said.

The driver, identified as 28year-old Joshua Cardenas, also of Rialto, suffered only minor injuries and fled the scene. Witnesses identified Cardenas, leading to his apprehension and arrest.

Investigators say Cardenas was traveling over 85 mph eastbound on Merrill Avenue when he lost control crossing Cactus Avenue. Authorities believe speed and alcohol were factors

in the crash.

Cardenas was booked into San Bernardino County jail on suspicion of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated (Penal Code 191.5(a)), with bail set at $100,000.

The Rialto Police Department’s Major Accident Investigation Team is leading the case.

Authorities urge anyone with information to contact Traffic Sergeant Dan Smith at (909) 644-6025 or submit anonymous tips through WeTip at (800) 782-7463, referencing case #932502122.

At approximately 4:45 am on February 26th, 2025, police responded to an emergency call for an overnight break-in. The suspect, who gained unlawful access to the premises using bolt cutters, cut the locks multiple kennels, releasing approximately 25 dogs.

San Bernardino Animal Services staff were able to locate and return all of the escaped dogs to the shelter except for one, who still remains at large. Four dogs were found in a nearby dumpster, believed to have been placed there by the person of interest.

“We are shocked by this event,” said Kristine Watson, San Bernardino Animal Services Director. “The safety and well-being of the animals in our care are our top priority, and this action put many of our dogs in danger.”

The four dogs found in the dumpster were examined by the Animal Services veterinary care team. All are in good condition

and are expected to be available for adoption within a few days.

The remaining missing dog is a cream Chihuahua named Louise (ID #A576436), who is both spayed and microchipped. Shelter staff are asking for the community’s assistance to help find Louise and have initiated a social media campaign to spread the word.

“We urge anyone with information about the whereabouts of Louise to contact us. Her safety is of utmost concern, and we are hopeful that someone will recognize her and help us bring her back,” added Watson.

For updates or to report any sightings, please contact the City of San Bernardino Department of Animal Services at 909-998-4000 for any information on Louise.

In the meantime, Animal Services is pleased that the security measures in place at the shelter led to the quick response by the City of San Bernardino Police Department and the Department of Animal Services staff and resulted in the identification of a possible suspect.

“The support from the community as word has gotten out about the break-in has been overwhelming,” said Watson. “There are so many amazing animals at the shelter, we hope this will inspire area residents to visit our shelter to adopt, foster, volunteer, or donate.”

The undersigned or its predecessor caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located.

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 (855) 313-3319 or visit this Internet website www.clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 127086-CA. 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 Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: Effective January 1, 2021, 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 (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www.clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 127086-CA 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.

Proposed Medicaid Cuts Would Put Inland Empire Families and Health Care at Risk

PHOTOS IEHP

Inland Empire Health Plan urges congressional leaders to protect health care access for more than 40% of residents in San Bernardino and Riverside counties who rely on Medicaid for high-quality health coverage.

Community News

A

s Congress debates Medicaid budget cuts, Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP) urges policymakers to protect Medicaid’s critical health care infrastructure. Medicaid, known as Medi-Cal in California, supports and stabilizes the health care delivery system for all Californians.

More than 40% of residents in San Bernardino and Riverside counties are enrolled in Medi-Cal for access to quality health care. Receiving health coverage through Medi-Cal allows members to focus on supporting their family, maintaining a job, and boosting the local economy through workforce stability.

“In times like these, programs like Medicaid are more important than ever to help keep individuals and families above water,” said IEHP Chief Executive Officer

Jarrod McNaughton. “Unfortunately, policymakers are considering drastic cuts to Medicaid that would put the health and economic security of our community at risk.”

IEHP’s network includes more than 9,000 health care providers, 855 clinics, and 36 hospitals serving over 1.5 million Medi-Cal enrollees. Large cuts to MediCal funding would harm providers’ financial stability, impacting access to care for all residents and potentially leading to closures of critical health facilities.

More than half of non-disabled Medi-Cal enrollees work in low-wage jobs. If their health care is compromised, businesses will feel the impact. When workers’ health suffers, there are higher rates of absenteeism and higher turnover for employers.

Beyond health care, IEHP plays a vital role in the local economy, employing over 4,000 people in the Inland Empire, supporting community organizations, and

maintaining contracts with a broad range of businesses, hospitals and other facilities to support members — contributing to the economy through sustainable local employment and tax revenue.

Sustained Medi-Cal funding is therefore not just a health care issue, it is an economic imperative.

“While IEHP is deeply concerned about the potential impact of significant Medicaid cuts, we remain committed to fulfilling our mission of delivering the highest quality of care during these uncertain times,” said McNaughton. “We are pleased that IEHP members currently have access to the health care they need.”

IEHP operates under a contract with the State of California through the Department of Health Care Services and continues to provide all covered benefits under the Medi-Cal program. To learn more, go to iehp.org.
