Expo, a first-of-its-kind event for the building.

Attendees were treated to complimentary ice cream and 96-cent root beer floats, paying homage to the site's historical significance as San Bernardino Valley's first brewery, established in 1867.

Throughout the day, tenants of the Enterprise Building showcased their businesses and organizations, creating a vibrant atmosphere.

He shed light on how the construction of the Carousel Mall and downtown redevelopment impacted the Enterprise Building and the Harris Company Building.

"We are proud to contribute to the revitalization of downtown and provide a space for creativity, collaboration, and community engagement," continued Stanly.

As the sun set, the festivities continued with a rooftop comedy show featuring a lineup of secret comedians that entertained the audience throughout the evening. The rooftop bar provided a picturesque setting for attendees to enjoy the performances and connect with fellow community members.

The 96th-anniversary celebration at the Historic Enterprise Building showcased this architectural masterpiece's resilience and timeless allure. With big revitalization plans in the near future, the building continues to evolve while preserving its historic charm and Art Deco style.

Built in 1927, the Historic Enterprise Building, formerly the Anderson Building, stands as one of San Bernardino's oldest and grandest landmarks.

Offering six floors of rentable office space, the building combines the essence of 1930s-era architecture with a modern interior design. Anchored by the exquisite 320 Premier Hall, a versatile venue space, the building is poised to host various events and contribute to the city's cultural renaissance.

San Bernardino to Launch Homeless Outreach Team on June 15

Community News

he City of San Bernardino will be launching a homeless outreach team beginning June 15 to engage homeless individuals to connect them effectively and efficiently with available housing and other services. At that time, residents and businesses will be able to report issues or request assistance by calling (909) 9363478 or by email at homelesshelp@sbcity.org.

The creation of a homeless outreach team is part of a comprehensive response taken by the Mayor and City Council following its declaration of a homeless state of emergency in February.

"As we promised, San Bernardino is taking action to address homelessness," said Mayor Helen Tran. "In addition to the new Outreach Team, we are currently cleaning up encampments, cleaning up our parks, and adding shelter beds. Residents are noticing a difference already."

In a contract awarded by the City Council on

May 17, San Bernardino will partner with the Los Angeles County based Hope the Mission to provide a full-time team of eight skilled team members to work with San Bernardino Housing and Homeless staff five days a week.

The outreach team will offer transportation services to individuals willing to seek shelter, access crisis centers, undergo rehabilitation, or to help reconnect with their families through reunification programs. In addition, the team will play a pivotal role in guiding unhoused individuals toward the forthcoming City shelter, ensuring that housing priority is given to those who are from San Bernardino.

The outreach team will include a program manager, two peer specialists, two case managers, two counselors, and a data coordinator. Their outreach efforts will extend across the entire 62 square miles of the City, actively engaging with the homeless community.

State Agency Drops Carousel Mall Case Against the City of San Bernardino

T

Community News

he California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) has informed the City of San Bernardino that it has closed their case against the City involving alleged violations of the Surplus Land Act (SLA) related to the redevelopment of the Carousel Mall property.

In a letter dated May 24, 2023, HCD stated that it has determined that the City is not in violation of the SLA following its termination of the exclusive negotiating agreement with the San Bernardino Development Company to redevelop the Carousel Mall.

“HCD considers this matter closed,” said HCD Deputy Director David Zisser in the letter.

San Bernardino Mayor Helen Tran, upon learning of the case being closed, responded, “This is excellent news. We can now move forward.”

In March, San Bernardino received a notice from

HCD, alleging several violations of the Surplus Land Act, a California law that requires public agencies to make property it intends to sell available for developers of affordable housing. HCD claimed the City of San Bernardino did not follow the proper steps, a claim the City disputed.

The City Council voted on May 3 to terminate the City’s exclusive negotiating agreement with the San Bernardino Development Company, formerly known as RD-ICO, to redevelop the 43-acre Carousel Mall site. The action was anticipated to clear the way for the City to restart the development process in the near future.

Demolition of the Carousel Mall, which began in April, is currently underway. The City will evaluate additional infrastructure improvements that may expedite the future development of the Mall site.

It is not known at this time how quickly San Bernardino will once again seek development proposals at the Carousel Mall site under the Surplus Land Act.

By Manny Sandoval

link Fitness, located at 1205-1209 W Foothill Blvd, is gearing up for an exciting fitness event, "Workout with Pride," on Saturday, June 10th, from 10 AM to 11 AM.

The event, open to members and non-members, aims to promote inclusivity and support the LGBTQ+ community. For each person attending the event, Blink Fitness will donate one dollar to The OUT Foundation, a nonprofit organization that advocates for LGBTQ+ inclusion in fitness and health.

Led by a certified personal trainer, the Workout with Pride event promises participants a high-energy, fun-filled workout session. Attendees are encouraged to come dressed in workout clothes, be prepared to sweat, and have a great time.

The session will include exercises designed to elevate the heart rate and cater to various fitness levels. Each trainer will lead a different routine, ensuring a diverse and engaging experience.

In addition to the Workout with Pride event, Blink Fitness has also announced a special promotion for teachers. Educators can activate a three-month gym membership at Blink Fitness for free by June 30th, 2023.

This offer is an appreciation gesture for teachers' hard work and dedication. To take advantage of this opportunity, teachers must visit the Rialto location and redeem their free membership, which will commence on the day of activation.

Blink Fitness is known for its commitment to creating an inclusive and positive environment for all individuals. The gym prides itself on the philosophy of "mood over muscle," emphasizing the importance of fostering a welcoming atmosphere rather than focusing

solely on physical appearance.

Members can enjoy various equipment, including free weights, weight machines, treadmills, and ellipticals, tailored to different fitness preferences.

Furthermore, Blink Fitness offers in-person and online classes to cater to various needs and preferences. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the gym successfully transitioned to virtual classes and continues to provide this convenient option.

However, Blink Fitness also dramatically values its in-gym personal training, distinguishing itself by ensuring all trainers are certified and providing reasonably priced packages. They aim to dispel the misconception that personal training is unaffordable and make it accessible to everyone.

Blink Fitness, owned by Equinox, has established a strong presence across multiple states, with ten locations in California and additional gyms in New York, New Jersey, Texas, Virginia, Florida, and Philadelphia.

The gym's commitment to supporting the LGBTQ+ community extends beyond events like Workout with Pride. Blink Fitness recently changed its Premiere Plan, now called the Green Plan. For each new membership purchased under this plan, $10 will be donated to The Out Foundation, further contributing to their mission of inclusivity and support.

"It's the gym for Every Body," said a representative from Blink Fitness. The Workout with Pride event embodies this sentiment, welcoming members and non-members to participate and enjoy a fun-filled workout session with a personal trainer.

Diane Mendez, a member of the Bloomington Municipal Advisory Council said, “I am happy to hear that the Board of Supervisors approved the affordable housing units associated with the new Linden Street development in Bloomington. A new housing development is needed in our area, and by setting aside units specifically for affordable housing is a community benefit that is both necessary and appreciated.”

“When housing becomes affordable, possibilities multiply and we as an entire community grow together. To have a project like this in our County is rare and proves we are moving in the right direction. We want to thank the developers on this project for offering to make 8 of the units affordable housing for the public to purchase, as this will assist those who have dreamt of owning a home come true. This is truly a victory for our County as a whole,” said Supervisor Joe Baca, Jr.

(BWI), will host two summer workshops at California State University, San Bernardino that will assist local high school graduates and adults in completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) application for Pell Grant and Cal Grant state and federal funding, to attend college.

The workshops will take place on June 21 and July 12 at the Jack H. Brown College of Business and Public Administration on the CSUSB campus. Those wishing to attend must register in advance to reserve a seat and assistance from a trained advisor. Register online at Cash for College Registration.

“Every year millions of dollars in financial aid is being left unap-

plied for in inland Southern California, often due to the difficult application process,” said Roberta Albano, an executive board member for BWI and a professor at CSUSB. “Our goal is to help more of our students receive that money and realize their dreams.”

Added Lacey Kendall, a professor at CSUSB and BWI board member, “The workshops will allow local students and families to work with California Student Aid Commission-trained bilingual assistants to complete the process in each one-evening workshop.”

Each workshop will allow 35 attendees to use a workstation where they can complete the application with guidance from the trained assistants. The registration website includes all information and documents for students to bring with them.

Building Wealth Initiative I.E. is an organization focused on helping Inland Empire residents, small business owners and nonprofits find greater success through free workshops, training sessions, business connections and grant opportunities.

For the third year in a row, and in partnership with the National Trust for Historic Preservation, American Express is also officially announcing the recipients of the "Backing Historic Small Restaurants” grant program in the U.S. These 25 recipients will each receive $40,000 in funding—collectively $1 million in grant funding—to help them improve the business’ physical space and support critical operating costs, with the goal of helping these restaurants make an even larger positive impact on their communities. As part of the program, Resy, the American Express-owned restaurant technology platform, is offering complimentary use of ResyOS for one year to each grant recipient.

estaba trabajando en construcción cuando sufrió una grave lesión. Sin saber cuánto duraría su rehabilitación, su mayor preocupación era cómo iba a pagar las facturas y mantener una vivienda. Todo cambió cuando un amigo de Antonio le contó sobre un servicio gratuito de asesoramiento sobre temas de vivienda. Los asesores de este programa ofrecen asesoramiento y capacitación gratuitos sobre morosidad en temas hipotecarios, alquiler de una vivienda, preparación para la compra de una vivienda, hipotecas inversas e incluso medidas de prevención para no terminar sin un lugar donde vivir.

La financiación de este servicio procede de los Presupuestos del Estado de California por medio del Acuerdo Hipotecario Nacional (National Mortgage Settlement, o NMS, por sus siglas en inglés) y está administrado por la Agencia de Financiamiento de la Vivienda de California (California Housing Finance Agency, o CalHFA, por sus siglas en inglés). Por medio de su Programa de Asesoramiento de Vivienda del NMS, CalHFA ya ha ayudado a más de 50,000 familias a encontrar asesores de vivienda certificados por el Departamento de Vivienda y Desarrollo Urbano (HUD, por su sigla en inglés) en todo el estado, para recibir servicios de asesoramiento de vivienda gratuitos y confidenciales.

Un asesor sobre temas de vivienda trabajó

con Antonio, respondiendo a sus preguntas sobre opciones bancarias y crediticias. La sesión se centró en cómo podría alcanzar sus objetivos financieros incluso aunque no pudiera trabajar debido a la lesión. Trabajaron en los aspectos básicos de la creación de crédito y revisaron el proceso bancario, ya que Antonio no tenía una cuenta bancaria. El asesor de vivienda le ayudó a establecer un presupuesto general para administrar sus gastos y empezar a ahorrar para alcanzar sus objetivos financieros.

Además, el asesor sobre temas de vivienda le ayudó a inscribirse en un curso de inglés como segundo idioma (ESL, por sus siglas en inglés), porque el idioma era algo que Antonio quería mejorar. También lo refirieron a un activista y defensor de derechos que le ayudó a presentar una solicitud de indemnización por accidente laboral.

"Los californianos que trabajan duro y merecen participar en el ‘sueño americano’ no siempre tienen una ‘red de seguridad’ a la que recurrir en tiempos difíciles", dijo Tiena Johnson Hall, Directora Ejecutiva de la Agencia de Financiación de la Vivienda de California. "Este programa ayuda a las personas a estabilizar su situación de vida al recibir asesoramiento y acceso a programas y recursos que de otro modo no conocerían".

Para encontrar un asesor, cualquier persona puede visitar el sitio web de CalHFA y buscar “NMS”, o ir directamente a la página

de asesoramiento en https://www.calhfa.ca.gov/community/nms /resources.htm. Todas las sesiones son gratuitas, y los propietarios de viviendas pueden ponerse en contacto con una de estas organizaciones aunque no vivan en la misma zona geográfica, ya que el asesoramiento se puede hacer por teléfono o por videollamada.

El Programa de Asesoramiento sobre temas de Vivienda del NMS ayudó a Antonio a superar un momento difícil. Tiempo más tarde, cuando volvió a ponerse en contacto con la persona que le asesoró, para ver cómo le iba, se alegró de haber abierto una cuenta bancaria, de estar mejorando su calificación crediticia y de haber empezado un curso de inglés (ESL) en un colegio comunitario. Y lo que es más importante, Antonio logró mantenerse en su hogar y mantuvo su vivienda.

Johnson Hall añadió: "El asesoramiento sobre temas de vivienda es un servicio crucial que reduce el número de personas sin hogar, se enfrenta a la inseguridad en temas de vivienda y reduce los obstáculos para llegar a ser propietario de una casa, todo lo cual puede encaminar a las personas hacia el bienestar financiero. Espero que toda persona que tenga problemas (de vivienda) aproveche esta oportunidad de ayuda gratuita".

Rachel Tolber Named Chief of Police, Effective June 12

Community News

edlands City Manager Charles Duggan has named Rachel Tolber the new Chief of Police for the Redlands Police Department. Tolber’s appointment will become effective Monday, June 12.

Tolber was named interim chief following the March 1 announcement that Chief Chris Catren would retire due to disability as the result of a work-related back injury.

Catren’s retirement will become official on June 9.

“Rachel Tolber continues to exceed expectations as interim police chief,” Duggan said, in announcing the appointment. “I have closely watched her work since being appointed interim chief, and I am impressed by her leadership qualities, dedication to the City, excellent decision making and her communication skills. Rachel possesses all of the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary to succeed as our next police chief.”

“I am truly humbled and honored to be selected to the lead the men and women of the RPD in our service of such an incredible community,” Tolber said. “I’m very fortunate to be part of this community and look forward to continuing to provide public safety and building meaningful relationships with all of our community partners, while providing the highest level of service to the residents of Redlands.”

Tolber began her law enforcement career as a student intern with the Redlands Police Department in 1997, performing as a research assistant. In 1998, the department hired her as a police officer.

Prior to her appointment as interim chief, she served as a commander overseeing the Special Services Bureau.

She has served the department in a variety of positions, including field training officer, patrol officer and supervisor, detective, investigations supervisor, crisis negotiator, training manager and professional standards.

During her tenure with RPD, she was instrumental in developing and implementing the Police and Corrections Team (PACT), a re-entry program for parolees. She also spearheaded the department’s Citizen Volunteer Park Rangers program. Tolber also served as an executive intern to the City Manager’s office, where she helped lead

policy and strategic initiatives adopted and implemented

by City executives. She has received civic recognitions and honors for her leadership, work and service.

Tolber earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology and sociology from the University of Redlands in 1998. In 2006, she earned a master’s degree in criminology, law and society from the University of California, Irvine. Her research was focused on re-entry. In 2011, she earned a master’s degree in applied criminology from the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom. Her focus there was on restorative justice. Most recently she completed the California POST Command College, a rigorous program focused on futures research and strategic foresight. Her research in the program culminated in an article on data and policing, which was published in the International Association of Chiefs of Police’s (IACP) Police Chief Magazine.

Tolber’s law enforcement background includes extensive collaboration and work with numerous local, state, federal and international policing agencies and community partners. In addition, she worked with the department’s criminologist and other academic partners on various research projects and grants. Her research interests include re-entry, restorative justice, technology and women in policing.

She has been a board member of the Home Again Project, Gang Reduction Intervention Team, and Partners Against Violence. She has been an executive fellow with the National Policing Institute (formerly known as the Police Foundation) and a member of the Society of Evidence-Based Policing and the International Association of Chiefs of Police. She graduated from the National Institute of Justice's LEADS Scholar program in 2019 and continues to be active as an alumna. Tolber is a member of the Redlands Sunrise Rotary and serves on the steering committee for Redlands Compact Club.

Based on her interest and commitment to evidencebased policing, Tolber joined several other colleagues in founding the American Society of Evidence-Based Policing (ASEBP). The ASEBP mission is to advance policing by incorporating the best available evidence-based practices to ensure the least harmful, most effective, fairest, and safest strategies are employed to prevent crime, reduce harm and improve community wellness.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: AMIR HOOSHANG RAHEBI CASE NO. PROSB2201454

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the WILL or estate, or both of AMIR HOOSHANG RAHEBI. A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by FARID RAHEBI in the Superior Court of California, County of SAN BERNARDINO. THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that FARID RAHEBI be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. 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.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: 10/09/23 at 9:00AM in Dept. S36 located at 247 W. THIRD STREET, SAN

BERNARDINO, CA 924150212 IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

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 58(b) of the section 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.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

Reflecting on his decision to join Walmart, Gay expressed that the Live Better U program played a pivotal role in enhancing the appeal of the job offer.

"When I started, there were only a few colleges and programs offered, and now it's expanded to cybersecurity, analytics, and more," Gay stated. The program's comprehensive offerings include both Bachelor's degrees, high school and college prep programs, and professional certificate programs like HVAC. Gay joined Walmart in December 2018 as the QA Systems Operations Manager, responsible for quality assurance and managing the technical aspects of the facility. He was already equipped with an associate's degree, so he pursued a bachelor's degree in supply chain transportation and logistics management at Bellevue University. He opted for an online program that utilized video conferences and online chat platforms.

The journey was not without its challenges, as Gay explained the intensity of the accelerated program. Each class lasted six weeks, demanding 15-20 hours of weekly commitment. However, Gay's dedication paid off as he consistently made the Dean's List throughout the 18-month program. The unexpected arrival of the pandemic proved to be a blessing in disguise, providing Gay with the opportunity to concentrate fully on his studies during a time when outside distractions were limited.

"The program works through summer and holidays," Gay noted. "I had the same professor and classmates throughout, which created a fantastic sense of continuity." This fostered an environment conducive to learning and allowed for deeper conThe Celebration of Freedom is an educational ex- nections among students. Gay perience for all, regardless of race, age, and ethnic successfully graduated on October 31, 2020, and only four and cultural differences. months later, on May 2, 2021, he secured a promotion to his current position as Assistant General Manager.

The partnership between Walmart and Guild Education offers employees access to several reputable universities, eliminating financial barriers that often deter individuals from pursuing higher education. For Gay, the program eliminated his excuses by providing online courses and covering the cost, which he estimates

would have amounted to tens of thousands of dollars. The timing was ideal, and Walmart's unwavering support provided Gay with the opportunity to invest in his future.

Gay now mentors his colleagues, who often approach him with inquiries about the program while on the floor. "The school part gives them a link," Gay explained. "They're not afraid to come up and talk to me about school and discuss their career paths." Having experienced firsthand the transformative power of education, Gay firmly believes that schooling was the crucial element that enabled him to reach his current position and level the playing field against candidates with similar experience but higher education qualifications.

Reflecting on his experience, the Colton resident expressed his gratitude for Walmart's investment in its employees. "When I think about how much money they put out to thousands of employees, it's incredible," Gay remarked. The Live Better U program empowers individuals uncertain about their post-high school plans to join Walmart and embark on their higher education journeys.

Aspiring employees eager to learn more about the program must consult Walmart's internal website and connect with a counselor through Guild Education. These counselors guide employees through the process, assisting with credit transfers and course enrollment and providing regular check-ins to ensure a seamless educational experience.

Walmart's Live Better U program stands as a shining example of the company's commitment to its workforce, offering jobs and opportunities for continuous growth and development. With thousands of employees benefiting from the program, Walmart's investment in their education demonstrates a dedication to creating a skilled and empowered workforce.

As Robert Gay's inspiring story exemplifies, Walmart's Live Better U program has the power to transform lives. By removing financial barriers, providing access to reputable universities, and offering support and flexibility, the program enables employees to pursue higher education and unlock new career opportunities. Through education, Walmart empowers its workforce and demonstrates its commitment to nurturing talent and fostering a culture of continuous learning.

As Walmart continues to invest in its employees' education, stories like Robert Gay's remind us that professional growth and success are within reach with determination and support. The Live Better U program stands as a beacon of hope for individuals seeking to elevate their careers, broaden their horizons, and create a brighter future for themselves and their families.
