ixth Ward residents, faith leaders, business owners and former elected officials rallied Sunday afternoon in 100-degree heat against the cityapproved relocation of a cannabis retailer

to 1602 W. Highland Ave. Protesters argued the site is too close to senior housing, homes and churches and was approved without adequate community input. The Coalition of Westside & 6th Ward Citizens organized the Aug. 2 protest at

Highland Avenue and Medical Center Drive under the theme “Community Yes, Cannabis No.” Organizers said their opposition is focused on the location and approval process, not on cannabis businesses generally. Protest, Cont. next pg.

property once covered with weeds has been transformed into an approximately $8 million educational and wellness space where Rialto Unified School District students can learn about native plants, environmental science and the connections between nature and mental health.

District leaders held a ribbon-cutting ceremony Thursday, July 30, for the International Healing Garden, located at 2235 W. Buena Vista Drive across from Kucera Middle School. Attendees included the entire Rialto Unified Board of Education, state Sen. Eloise Gómez Reyes, San Bernardino County Supervisor Joe Baca Jr. and Rialto Mayor Joe Baca Sr. Superintendent Alejandro Álvarez said

the garden had been under development for more than five years and was made possible through contributions from local, state and federal partners, along with a major financial commitment from the district. The project received $2 million in American Rescue Plan Act fundingRUSD Garden, cont. next pg.

Protest (cont.) - The proposed retailer would occupy a former neighborhood market through the relocation of an existing commercial cannabis permit. On June 17, the San Bernardino City Council approved Commercial Cannabis Business Permit 26-001, allowing the permit’s ownership transfer from PTRE Management LLC to OG Ventures LLC and its relocation from 225 E. Airport Drive to the Highland Avenue property. Coalition members contend the location conflicts with the surrounding neighborhood and may violate the city’s cannabis ordinance. San Bernardino Municipal Code Section 5.10.250 requires cannabis businesses to meet zoning and distance standards. The ordinance requires at least 600 feet between a cannabis business parcel and residentially zoned parcels, K-12 schools, licensed commercial day care centers, youth centers and parks. It also directs the city to consider proximity to religious facilities and libraries. Those distances are generally measured from exterior parcel line to exterior parcel line. Organizers said the Magnolia at Highland Senior Apartments is 168 feet from the proposed store’s front entrance and a residence at 2177 Medical Center Drive is 231 feet away. They also said Iglesia Universal Church sits on a parcel less than 60 feet from the site, while the Dorothy Inghram Branch Library and San Bernardino City Unified School District’s Western Highland Administrative Annex are about 500 feet away. The measurements were provided by the coalition and were not independently conducted by IECN. Because some were calculated from the store’s entrance rather than parcel lines, they do not alone establish whether the location violates the code. The district property identified by organizers is an administrative annex, not a traditional K-12 campus. Former Sixth Ward Council member Kimberly Calvin claimed the city failed to follow its own rules and did not adequately notify nearby residents, churches and businesses. “This is a total violation of the city’s very own cannabis ordinance, the municipal code,” Calvin said. “The city of San Bernardino wants to always challenge,

mandate or demand that community members respect laws, business owners respect laws, but yet they themselves do not.” Calvin said representatives of a neighboring restaurant and Iglesia Universal Church told coalition members they were not notified about the proposed retailer. She also said the San Bernardino City Unified School District submitted a letter opposing the location because students travel through the area and a district facility is nearby. Amy Malone, owner of Girl in Charge Public Relations in downtown San Bernardino and a Fourth Ward resident, said the protest was about accountability and community participation. “This is not a protest against cannabis stores,” Malone said. “This is a protest of the process not being done above board, and we will not have it.” Malone said the Sixth Ward has long been overlooked and should receive the same thoughtful investment as other areas of the city. “San Bernardino is open for business, but it’s not desperate for business,” Malone said. “The Sixth Ward will not just be given anything that is thrown at them. They will be a part of the process of developing this city.” Calvin said residents want grocery stores, restaurants, coffee shops and other neighborhood-serving businesses. She said the coalition would be more receptive to a cannabis retailer in an industrial area farther from homes and community institutions. Rikke Van Johnson, a former San Bernardino City Council member and event organizer, said the dispute extends beyond one proposed business. “This movement is about the people and those courageous enough to stand up and speak out on behalf of their community,” Johnson said. “This is not simply about one business. It is about ensuring residents have a voice in decisions that shape the future of their neighborhoods.”

RUSD Garden (cont.) - through a collaboration involving Baca, Rialto Unified and the office of Rep. Pete Aguilar. Gómez Reyes also helped secure $1 million through the California state budget while serving in the Assembly. District funding accounted for an estimated additional $5 million, bringing the project’s overall cost to about $8 million, Álvarez said. The district already owned the property, which was not large enough to accommodate another school campus. Before construction, Álvarez said, the site contained no buildings or other facilities.

“We’re already noticing that the native bird populations are really enjoying this space,” Chan-Roden said, adding that the activity creates opportunities to introduce students to ornithology and examine bird populations as a measure of biodiversity. District officials spent the end of the previous school year and the summer developing a plan for student access. Schools will be able to schedule visits, and the district has worked on curriculum connected to the garden’s plants and environmental features.

“All this was just an empty lot with weeds growing,” Álvarez said. “There was no building, no structure.”

Álvarez said the space could be especially valuable for special education classes and students who feel overwhelmed in a traditional school environment. Although every district campus has a wellness center, he said, the garden provides an additional setting where students can learn, reflect and receive support.

The completed garden includes instructional spaces, walking areas, restrooms, landscaping and sections featuring plants associated with different ecosystems. Álvarez said it will give students an opportunity to step away from classroom screens and participate in more hands-on lessons.

“If students aren’t mentally well in the classroom, they’re not going to learn,” Álvarez said. “Whatever is happening at home or in their personal lives, whatever that roadblock is, the mental support we provide is going to be significant to ensure that they’re in the classrooms learning.”

“This is really an opportunity to get them outside the classroom, outside the setting, to get more hands-on interactions with our students,” Álvarez said. He added that students will be able to learn about local plants, California history and vegetation while engaging with the natural environment.

Baca Jr. called the garden an example of what coordinated public investment can accomplish.

Juanita Chan-Roden, Rialto Unified’s director of science and career programs, led attendees through areas representing native grasslands and desert environments. She said the garden can help students understand tree-canopy coverage, climate resilience, carbon sequestration, biodiversity and the distinguishing characteristics of native plants. Chan-Roden highlighted yarrow, a native flowering plant traditionally used by Indigenous communities, including the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation, for medicinal purposes. She explained that leaves from the plant were used to create poultices that could help stop bleeding and support wound healing. The garden also features native grasses, monkey flowers, sage, ephedra and desert plants. Chan-Roden said monkey flowers could connect to genetics instruction through the district’s partnership with Cal Poly Pomona, while the birds already visiting the property offer another avenue for scientific observation.

“This project is a direct representation of what we can achieve for our local communities when federal, state, and local leaders come together,” Baca said. He congratulated the Board of Education and Álvarez while recognizing the district’s commitment to student success, environmental wellness and outdoor instruction. The district plans to add features, including awnings for outdoor classroom areas, as it expands use of the site. Officials also hope to eventually partner with the city to make the garden available to the broader community. The opening comes as Álvarez begins his first full school year leading Rialto Unified. He said the district’s “You Belong Here” initiative will focus on ensuring students, families and employees feel connected to their schools. “Academics is key, but once again, if people don’t feel they belong here, if our students don’t feel a sense of belonging, they’re not going to learn,” Álvarez said. Rialto Unified's first day of the 2026/27 academic year is on Wednesday, August 5th, 2026.

Medi-Cal Is Changing. Here’s What to Do if You’re Worried About Coverage

As California Heats Up, Risks to Heart Health Are Rising

By Kristen Hwang and Ana B. Ibarra, CalMatters

t’s a tumultuous time for healthcare. Federal and state budget cuts are changing the rules for public benefits. Most people with Medi-Cal won’t be affected, but it may be confusing to figure out whether your benefits will change. The two most important things to do: Update your contact information with your county benefits office, and keep an eye out for any letters mailed from the county or state. You can update your information by calling your local county office or online with a BenefitsCal account. Here are the key changes, what they mean, and where to get help. Changes for immigrants Non-citizens — undocumented immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers, and people with pending immigration cases — are the group most affected, even those with a green card. The state has an immigration status chart to help you check whether these changes apply to you. If they do, you’ll get a letter. Undocumented Immigrants As of Jan. 1, immigrants over age 19 without legal status can no longer apply for Medi-Cal (children remain eligible). Those already enrolled keep benefits if they renew on time. If they miss the renewal deadline and coverage ends, they have three months to reapply. After that window, they cannot sign up again. Anyone who loses Medi-Cal may apply for emergency services. Those are limited to pregnancy, emergency visits and nursing home care. Starting Jan. 1, 2027, this group moves to “fee-for-service” Medi-Cal that limits some coverage. Doctors visits, prescriptions, and mental health treatment won’t be affected. Confirm your doctor accepts this Medi-Cal type, or find a new doctor by calling 1-800-541-5555. Adults ages 19-64 must also prove they are working or volunteering at least 80 hours a month. Students, people with disabilities and parents with young children are exempt from the work requirement. Starting July 1, 2027, adults lose dental coverage. Those 19-59 will also pay a $30 monthly fee. Children and pregnant individuals will remain eligible for Medi-Cal. Refugees, Asylum Seekers, Some Green Card Holders Starting Jan. 1, 2027, refugees, asylum seekers, humanitarian parolees, and survivors of domestic violence or trafficking move to “fee-for-service” Medi-Cal. They will still be able to see the doctor, pick up prescriptions and see the dentist, but they will no longer have a health insurance plan. Call 1-800-541-5555 to find a new doctor if your current one does not accept it. Six months later, this group will lose full-scope Medi-Cal and dental benefits, keeping only pregnancy and emergency care. Promotoras, community health workers and legal aid groups can help answer questions about this. Adults Without Children About 5 million Californians gained Medi-Cal coverage when the Obama administration expanded eligibility to child-

less adults and those earning slightly above the federal poverty level. Now this group faces stricter requirements in order to keep their health coverage. Work Requirements Beginning Jan. 1, adults 19-64 and many immigrants must prove at least 80 hours each month of working or volunteering, or half-time schooling. Who’s exempt: children, seniors, pregnant people, those who are disabled or have serious health conditions or addictions, people on Medicare, those recently released from prison, American Indians and Alaska Natives populations and some former foster youth. The state will mail a letter if this applies to you. Most renewal packets come in a bright yellow envelope, but notices may look different. Respond quickly. More Frequent Renewals Beginning next March, the state will check Medi-Cal eligibility every six months for adults ages 19-64 and many immigrants, verifying income, work status, and other requirements. Renewal may happen automatically; if it doesn’t you will receive a letter asking for more information. Seniors (65+) and People with Disabilities Starting July 1, 2027, seniors (65+) and people with disabilities cannot own more than $21,000 in assets, including savings accounts, cash and property other than a home and a car. For couples it’s $31,000 total. This limit also applies to non-citizens. Your county benefits office or a local legal aid group can clarify what counts; the state also has an FAQ about the new limits. If You’re Afraid of Losing Coverage, Do These Things Right Now Not everyone will be affected, and some people won’t need to do anything. If you’re required to report work hours or other information, you’ll receive a notice in the mail or through the BenefitsCal online portal if you have an online account: Check both regularly. The state doesn’t yet have a timeline for initial notices, but advocates say the best move now is simply keeping your information current. This is especially important because the rules keep changing. “It’s so vital they watch the mail, look out for communications from the county, and are responsive to requests for information,” said Jack Dailey, director of health policy at the Legal Aid Society of San Diego. If you get a notice: You should have plenty of warning before benefits are terminated – respond promptly to any notice of action. If you get a notice that your benefits will be cancelled and you disagree with that decision, you can appeal and request a state hearing, which “allows you to temporarily freeze an adverse action and keep your benefits while your appeal is being reviewed,” says Alicia Emanuel, a staff attorney with the National Health Law Program. If you’ve already lost coverage: You have 90 days to restore benefits without filing a new application. Submit the requested information in that window and, if you still qualify, you shouldn’t see a coverage gap. After 90 days, you’ll need to reapply from scratch.

xtreme heat is often treated as an uncomfortable but unavoidable part of summer in California. We plan around it, adjust our schedules and wait for temperatures to fall. But extreme heat is more than a seasonal inconvenience. It can place serious strain on the heart, particularly for older adults and people living with cardiovascular disease. When temperatures rise, the body must work harder to remain cool. The heart pumps faster, blood vessels adjust and the body loses fluids through perspiration. That additional workload can become dangerous for people with underlying health conditions and may increase the risk of heat-related illness, heart attack, stroke and other cardiovascular complications. Many people understand the dangers of dehydration and heat exhaustion. Fewer recognize what prolonged exposure to high temperatures can do to the cardiovascular system. Dehydration can reduce blood volume, increase the heart rate and disrupt the electrolytes that help regulate normal heart function. During a heat wave, those changes may place already vulnerable individuals at even greater risk. Adults 65 and older should be especially cautious. People with heart disease, heart failure, high blood pressure or a history of stroke may also face greater risks. The same is true for outdoor workers, athletes and first responders who spend extended periods in high temperatures. Some medications, including diuretics, beta-blockers and ACE inhibitors, may affect how the body responds to heat. Patients should not stop taking pre-

scribed medications on their own, but they should speak with their health care provider about how extreme temperatures could affect an existing condition or treatment plan. Fortunately, basic precautions can reduce the risk. People should drink water throughout the day, even before they feel thirsty, and seek air-conditioned spaces whenever possible. Strenuous outdoor activity should be limited during the hottest part of the day, generally between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Lightweight, light-colored clothing and frequent breaks in shaded areas can also help the body manage heat exposure. Community awareness is just as important as individual preparation. Check on older relatives, neighbors and others who may be more vulnerable, particularly during prolonged heat waves. A phone call, a bottle of water or transportation to an air-conditioned location can make a meaningful difference. Residents should also recognize the warning signs of a possible heat-related emergency. Dizziness, nausea, a rapid heartbeat, confusion, fainting or difficulty breathing may signal that immediate attention is needed. California’s summer heat is not going away. That makes preparation, early action and public awareness essential. By staying hydrated, reducing exposure during peak temperatures and recognizing warning signs before they become severe, residents can better protect themselves and those around them. Extreme heat should not be dismissed as simply uncomfortable weather. For many people, it can be a genuine threat to heart health. Dr. Mir Wasif Ali is chief of cardiovascular and thoracic surgery at Dignity Health St. Bernardine Hospital.

SEIU State Workers Picket in San Bernardino Over Wages, Benefits and Telework By Manny Sandoval

ore than three dozen state employees picketed in 104-degree heat Wednesday, July 29, outside the Rosa Parks Memorial State Building in downtown San Bernardino, joining a statewide campaign for a new labor contract. The 11:30 AM to 1 PM demonstration was part of SEIU Local 1000’s “Holding the Line” informational pickets. It was not a strike or work stoppage. The union’s contract expired June 30 as negotiations continued with Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration. Local 1000 is seeking a 20% general salary increase over three years — 7% in 2026, 7% in 2027 and 6% in 2028 — along with lower health care costs, targeted salary adjustments, recruitment and retention measures, and stronger telework protections. The union says the state rejected its proposed raises and economic proposals, offering no additional general salary increase for 2026. A negotiated 3% raise scheduled for July 1, 2026, was deferred until July 1, 2027, under a 2025 side-letter agreement. PHOTO MANNY SANDOVAL

SEIU Local 1000-represented state employees picket in triple-digit heat outside the Rosa Parks Memorial State Building in downtown San Bernardino on Wednesday, July 29, as part of a statewide campaign for higher wages, lower health care costs and stronger telework protections.

Teamsters Local 1932 Communications Coordinator Robert Gonzalez joined the San Bernardino picket in solidarity.

Gonzalez told IECN. “Imagine your employer telling you, during the highest inflation we’ve witnessed in our lifetime, that you do not deserve a single percentage in your wage increases.” Gonzalez called the state’s position “a slap in the face” to SEIU workers. On July 22, Local 1000 filed an unfairpractice charge alleging the state delayed responses, rejected numerous proposals together and failed to bargain meaningfully over wages, benefits and working conditions. The Public Employment Relations Board has not ruled on the allegations. CalHR has said it remains committed to good-faith negotiations but generally does not publicly discuss active bargaining. The dispute includes opposition to a return-to-office requirement that took effect July 1 for Local 1000 employees and generally requires four in-person workdays each week. Newsom has said in-person work improves collaboration, innovation and accountability, while workers have cited commuting, parking, child care, office capacity and reduced flexibility as concerns. No strike has been called, although the union is conducting strike-preparedness training as bargaining continues.

“What was offered to them was ridiculous — zero percent across the board,”

San Bernardino, Caltrans Partner to Address Homeless Encampments Along Freeways Community News

he City of San Bernardino and the California Department of Transportation have finalized an agreement that authorizes the City to address homeless encampments, litter, debris, and graffiti located along State freeway corridors within its city limits. San Bernardino joins twelve other cities across California that have taken over this responsibility from the State. The Encampment Delegated Maintenance Agreement, which was approved by the San Bernardino City Council on June 3 and signed by Caltrans on July 17, allows the City to perform cleanup and maintenance services on Caltrans-owned right-of-way along Interstate 10, Interstate 215, State Route 210, and other designated State highway corridors, including State Highway 18, Route 66 and a portion of Highway 330. The State will reimburse the City of San Bernardino up to $400,000 for work performed under the agreement.

“This agreement represents an important step forward to address homeless encampments along our freeways,” Mayor Helen Tran said. “For too long, jurisdictional barriers have limited our ability to address these areas.” In addition to removing encampments and improving the appearance of freeway corridors in San Bernardino, the City will coordinate outreach efforts to connect individuals experiencing homelessness with shelter, housing, and supportive services before encampments are removed whenever feasible. Until now, the City has been unable to address encampments located on Caltrans-owned property. The new agreement gives the City the authority to perform maintenance and encampment abatement activities along freeway corridors while following State guidelines and safety requirements. The agreement authorizes the City to remove both Priority Level 1 encampments, which pose an immediate threat to life, health, safety, or critical infrastructure, and Priority Level 2 encampments in accordance with State guidelines. City crews will also be empowered to remove

litter, debris, and graffiti from designated State right-ofway areas to improve the cleanliness and appearance of San Bernardino’s major transportation corridors. To help support the program’s implementation, San Bernardino intends to partner with the Center for Employment Opportunities, providing workforce assistance while creating employment opportunities for individuals re-entering the workforce. Caltrans will reimburse the City for eligible costs including labor, contracted services, equipment, disposal, hazardous material handling, traffic control, outreach coordination, and documentation. The City will work closely with Caltrans and the California Highway Patrol to ensure cleanup operations are conducted safely and in compliance with State requirements. “Residents deserve clean, safe freeway corridors, and people experiencing homelessness deserve the opportunity to connect with services that can help them move toward stable housing,” Tran said. “This partnership allows us to do both by combining compassionate outreach with timely action to restore these public spaces.”

Section 60119-a-1-A requires that the governing boards of school districts hold a public hearing to encourage participation by parents, teachers, members of the community interested in the affairs of the school district and bargaining unit leaders, and make a determination through a resolution as to whether each pupil in each school in the district has or will have, prior to the end of the fiscal year, sufficient textbooks and/or instructional materials in each subject that are consistent with the content and cycles of the curriculum framework adopted by the state board. The adoption of designated textbooks for each course Districtwide is an essential part of the development of an articulated, sequential, and a standardized curriculum in each subject. The San

Bernardino City Unified School District has an ongoing procedure whereby textbooks are continually reviewed and updated by committees that are representative of the school community. Books are reviewed for content and their match with District and state frameworks. The September 15, 2026, meeting of the District will begin at 5:30 p.m., or as soon thereafter as possible, in the Dr. Margaret Hill Community Room, Board of Education Building, located at 777 North F Street, San Bernardino, CA 92410. These matters will be considered at such time as this agenda item is considered by the Board of the District. Questions and/or comments should be directed to Ana M. Applegate, Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services, (909) 473-2086.

ess than an hour from Redlands, families looking to escape the Inland Empire heat can find cooler temperatures, towering oak trees and a different pace of life at YMCA Camp Edwards in Angelus Oaks. There, children can put down their devices, reconnect with nature and spend the day learning, playing and building friendships. Located at 42842 Jenks Lake Road, Camp Edwards recently welcomed children from the Redlands Day Camp for a day in the San Bernardino Mountains. Campers participated in archery, kickball, volleyball and camp cooking. Other activities offered at the camp include painting, arts and crafts, and outdoor recreation. The visit was part of a broader collaboration connecting YMCA programs serving Redlands, San Bernardino and Highland with the mountain camp. Camp Edwards offers day camp opportunities that provide working par-

Instead of spending the day in front of screens or following their usual routines, campers can learn new activities, talk face to face with their peers and enjoy time outdoors. Pila said experiences such as these have become increasingly important as technology occupies a larger
