n a decisive move to reinvigorate the city's downtown area, the San Bernardino City Council unanimously approved a $5.7 million budget for economic development additions and improvements on September 12, 2023. The comprehensive plan includes hiring more police for downtown, social service workers, park positions, and creating new roles to support local businesses.

David Friedman, co-owner of Realicore and Viva La Boba, emphasized the importance of supporting local businesses.

"For instance, in downtown Redlands on State Street, those small businesses bring in 6X the tax revenue than Mountain Grove and Citrus Plaza Shopping Centers. Small businesses keep our cities alive," Friedman said.

He further highlighted the difference between local and chain businesses, noting, "If you support a local business, that money stays in our community."

The city's new initiatives include:

1. A business retention economic development employee who will liaise with small businesses to understand and support their specific needs.

2. A business outreach position to help small businesses expand.

3. Hiring additional police for downtown to enhance safety and cleanliness.

4. Engaging more social service workers and park positions to ensure parks are clean and free from after-hour activities.

5. Hiring two consultants each for federal and state lobbying efforts to bring significant funds for the city.

Friedman also discussed the collaborative approach between the new police hires and social workers. "They'll work with businesses and residents and identify the unique issues we face downtown. It's a Development cont. on next pg.

uring a time where many seniors are going without mobility aids due to prohibitive costs, Arrowhead United Way and Never Stop Grinding Impact distributed much-needed walkers and more at the Grace Vargas Senior Center on September 25.

According to a report from the California Department of Aging, a significant number

of seniors in the state live on fixed incomes, making it challenging to afford essential items like walkers, bedside commodes, and crutches. The cost of these aids can range from $50 to $300, a price tag that is often out of reach for many.

About two dozen seniors, aware of the value and importance of these items, eagerly lined up at 11:30 AM. One senior recipient, reflecting the sentiments of many, remarked, “This is such an amazing

deal. What a Godsend, especially since so many seniors try to walk by themselves and end up falling.”

Darious Harris, Founder and CEO of Never Stop Grinding Impact, was handson throughout the event. Assisting with the distribution, Harris, with a pallet jack, unloaded boxes, disposed of pallets, and loaded items into vehicles. His mother's Seniors cont. on next pg.

Other items given away with the standing and sitting wheelchairs included commodes and crutches.

This event underscored the pressing needs of the senior community in the Inland Empire and the broader state of California. With the rising costs of essential items, initiatives like these, supported by organizations like Arrowhead United Way and Never Stop Grinding Impact, are not just acts of charity but essential lifelines for seniors striving for independence and dignity.

San Bernardino County Leaders Unveil New Animal Care Center Sign

Community News

an Bernardino County leaders on Wednesday unveiled a "coming soon" sign for a new state-of-the-art Animal Care Center in Bloomington.

The 61,000-square-foot shelter and care facility will offer top-level onsite veterinary care, dedicated dog and cat enrichment areas, and spacious kennels for pets as they await their forever homes.

“This is a huge win for the County of San Bernardino,” said County Supervisor Joe Baca, Jr., whose Fifth District includes Bloomington. “We're excited to bring this countywide service to the Bloomington community, addressing a need we've recognized for some time now. The new Animal Care Center is our pledge to a safer and more loving environment for every animal in our care. It's a step forward, ensuring countless animals find the care they deserve in a modernized setting. As families look to adopt, they'll find their perfect match here. I want to express my deep gratitude to Assembly Majority Leader Emeritus Eloise Gómez Reyes, the Board of Supervisors and our dedicated county staff for their unwavering commitment and hard work."

San Bernardino County currently offers animal care services at the Devore and Big Bear animal shelters. Since the beginning of this year, over 4,200 dogs and cats were taken into the Devore Animal Shelter.

“We have outgrown our Devore shelter and we are in desperate need of more space,” said San Bernardino County Chief Executive Officer Luther Snoke. “With the new facility, we are going to dou-

ble our capacity.”

The project cost estimate is $45 million, which includes the demolition of existing obsolete facilities and construction of the new building. Completion is expected in spring 2026.

“Our new Animal Care Center will not only offer the opportunity to provide services to our animals and residents, but it will also offer the opportunity to strengthen existing partnerships with our community and build new ones,” said Joshua Dugas, director of the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health, which oversees County Animal Care.

For more information about animals available for adoption in San Bernardino County’s Big Bear and Devore shelters, please visit animalcare.sbcounty.gov/pets or call (800) 472-5609. To make a donation to assist animals at the shelter, please visit www.arffund.org.

San Bernardino County is a diverse public service organization serving America’s largest county that for two consecutive years has led the nation in awards for innovation, efficiency and outstanding public service. We are governed by an elected Board of Supervisors and dedicated to creating a community where nearly 2.2 million residents can prosper and achieve well-being in fulfillment of the Countywide Vision.

house fire on Monday, September 25, 2023, at 4:38 a.m., has left one person dead and another in grave condition in San Bernardino.

The San Bernardino County Fire Department responded to a call about a residential fire on the 500 block of West 14th Street, near West Magnolia & North "E" Street. The incident, Residential Structure Fire with Fatality (BDC 23-237974), saw initial 911 callers reporting a roof in flames.

Upon arrival, crews found a single-story home heavily engulfed. Challenges arose with downed power lines in

the front yard and metal-barred windows, but firefighters quickly gained access. There were reports of potential victims trapped inside.

"We faced immediate challenges with the downed power lines and barred windows, but our team's swift action ensured we could get inside as quickly as possible," said Mike McClintock, Battalion Chief/PIO.

Inside, rescue crews found one victim and began Advanced Life Support care. The adult was rushed to a nearby hospital in grave condition. Tragically, a second individual was found deceased.

LA Ar ea Tribal Leader s, Law Enforcement Lear n About New Tool to Stem Epidemic of Violence Against Missing and Murdered Native American Women

Violence against Native American people—and in particular against women and girls—is a persistent crisis facing tribes across the country. Indigenous women are currently victims of murder at rates more than 10 times the national average.

California, with more Native Americans than any other state, has the sixth highest death rate of indigenous women in urban areas, and crimes against Native American women are seven times less likely to be solved than any other demographic.

The new Feather Alert system will help law enforcement more quickly notify the public and produce leads to help find the missing individuals. Ramos has conducted three similar events over the past year in Fresno, San Bernardino and Mendocino Counties for the local tribes and law enforcement in those regions.

The Redlands Fire Department is teaming up with the National Fire Protection Association®, the official sponsor of Fire Prevention WeekTM, Oct. 8-12, to promote this year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign, “Cooking safety starts with YOU. Pay attention to fire preventionTM.” The campaign works to educate everyone about simple but important actions they can take when cooking to keep themselves and those around them safe.

According to NFPA, cooking is the leading cause of home fires and home fire injuries in the United States. Unattended cooking is the leading cause of cooking fires and deaths.

“Year after year, cooking remains the leading cause of home fires by far, accounting for half (49 percent) of all U.S. home fires,” said Lorraine Carli, vice president of outreach and advocacy at NFPA. “These numbers tell us that there is still much work to do when it comes to better educating the public about ways to stay safe when cooking.”

The Redlands Fire Department encourages all residents to embrace the 2023 Fire Prevention Week theme, “Cooking safety start with YOU.” Simple ways to promote cooking safety include:

• Watch what you heat. Always keep a close eye on what you are cooking. Set a timer to remind you that you are cooking.

• Turn pot handles toward the back of the stove. Always keep a lid nearby when cooking. If a small grease fire starts, slide the lid over the pan and turn off the burner.

• Have a “kid- and pet-free zone” of at least three feet around the stove or grill and anywhere else hot food or drink is prepared or carried.

To find out more about Fire Prevention Week programs and activities in Redlands please contact the Community Risk Reduction Division at (909) 798-7601 or fireprevention@cityofredlands.org.

CSUSB Exhibition Afróntalo’ Focuses on Mexico’s Afro-descendent Communities and Afro-descendant Latinos

Community News

isitors packed the Anthropology Museum on Sept. 21 at Cal State San Bernardino to mark the formal opening of the new exhibition, “Afróntalo,” which directs the focus on the often-underrepresented and overlooked history and culture of Mexico’s Afrodescendent communities.

“‘Afróntalo’ represents a unique and invaluable effort to shed light on the often-underrepresented narratives of the Costa Chica region in Oaxaca and Guerrero, Tamiahua in Veracruz, Coyolillo in Veracruz and Mascogos in Coahuila,” said Hazel Blackmore, the executive director of Mexico-United States Commission for Educational and Cultural Exchange (COMEXUS). “These communities have long held vibrant cultures and histories that deserve to be showcased and celebrated on the world stage.”

Those vibrant cultures are on display at the Anthropology Museum, located on the third floor of CSUSB’s College of Social and Behavioral Sciences, through June 19.

Visitors to the exhibition are greeted with art and objects and descriptive displays divided into two sections: one curated by representatives of four Afro-descendant communities in Mexico, and another presenting biographies and original portraits of 21 Afrolatine Californians.

And over both is a colorful mural, stretching about two stories high from floor to ceiling, painted by artist Julio “Honter” Antuna Lopez, depicting scenes related to the Afro-descendant communities.

“One in four Latin Americans has African ancestry,” the exhibition’s introductory panel states on a 10-foot tapestry crafted by CSUSB student Alessandro Corsaro that hangs at the museum entrance. “And yet, there is a general deficit of knowledge regarding the presence and prevalence of blackness throughout the Americas. This is more than a simple matter of obscurity. It is a problem of erasure, invisibility and dislocation.

Afróntalo introduces you to four communities in Mexico and twenty-one Californians, all in their own words, to explore the depth and breadth of Afrolatine histories, cultures and identities.”

The four communities that partnered with the Anthropology Museum to bring this exhibition to life are: Tamiahua (Veracruz state, lead curator Doris Careaga-Coleman), Coyolillo (Veracruz state, lead curator Daniela Carreto López), the Negros Mascogos (Coahuila state, lead curator Karla Rivera Tellez), and the Costa Chica region (Oaxaca and Guerrero states, lead curator Sergio Navarrete Pellicer).

All four curators attended the opening reception, which was highlighted by performances by Danza Afrobalele, led by López, and rappers La Cruda Mora. Both are affiliated with Centro Cultural Comunitario Casa Coyolillo (the Community Cultural Center of Coyolillo), better known as Casa Coyolillo.

Lead curators and their teams were trained in curation and exhibition development by María Fernanda Yáñez Uribe from Museo de Arte Popular in Mexico City.

Each curatorial team chose their own focus for the exhibition:

For Tamiahua, the focus is cuisine, cooking, fishing and connecting community traditions to Africa and other Afro-descendant communities in the Americas.

The Coyolillo portion focuses on the joys of the community and Blackness, highlighting life in the town, located in Veracruz, that has a rich Afro-descendant heritage.

For the Costa Chica community, the focal point is three Afro-descendant dances from the region, with props used in the Danza de la Tortuga (Dance of the Turtle), Danza de Vaqueros (Dance of the Cattle Herders) and Danza de los Diablos

(Dance of the Devils), lining one wall.

As for the Negros Mascogos, the exhibit follows the history of enslaved Afro-descendants who made their way to Mexico.

“As a Hispanic-Serving Institution, we are always eager to take advantage of opportunities to celebrate the histories, the cultures, present on our campus and in the larger world around us.

Hispanic Heritage Month is definitely one such occasion,” said CSUSB President Tomás D. Morales in his welcoming remarks.

The Afrolatine culture is a vibrant part of the Hispanic world, Morales said, pointing to his own Afro-descendant roots from Puerto Rico.

“This exhibit brings awareness, and provides acPHOTO CSUSB cess to those who view the exhibit, either in per- Doris Careaga-Coleman (right), lead curator for the Tamiahua section of son or virtually,” he said, announcing that by the Afróntalo, explains the African and Latino culinary heritage of the reend of the academic year, “Afróntalo” will have gion’s food. a permanent space online with a virtual exhibit developed by CSUSB’s office of Academic Technologies & Innovation.

And, to take advantage of the exhibition’s fall and spring run, Morales said, “I am committed to having as many school children come from San Bernardino, Riverside County, to learn about their roots, particularly those from Mexico and Latin America.”

The curators, Blackmore and Matthew Robinson, a program director for the U.S. Department of Education, credited Anthropology Museum director Arianna Huhn for bringing together the people and resources that became “Afróntalo.”

While Sept. 22 marked the opening of the exhibition, it also was a celebration of the more than two-year effort to develop it.

Robinson, who manages the Fullbright Hays Seminars Abroad Program, said the genesis of “Afróntalo,” can be traced to a four-week 2021 seminar, “Exploring African Heritage in Mexico,” organized by COMEXUS. He called the work and the resulting exhibition “exemplary … because although Dr. Huhn’s time abroad in Mexico for the seminar was just four weeks, the activities that stemmed from that experience continue two years later, with meaningful impacts that will continue to inspire and inform this and many other communities.”

While the main focus is the museum exhibit, the Anthropology Museum organized a slate of programs in the days leading to the opening of “Afróntalo,” with presentations for the campus community by representatives of the exhibition’s four partner communities.

And more are planned both on and off campus.

Visit the Anthropology Museum website for updates.

The exhibition has been made possible in part with grants from California Humanities, the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the U.S. Embassy in Mexico’s Understanding African Heritage in Mexico through Exchanges Fund, which funded the participation of the exhibition’s curatorial team from Mexico in the opening programs of Afróntalo.

San Bernardino County Receives Unprecedented $2 Million Grant from Assemblymember Reyes for Mental Health Facility Upgrades

n a significant move to bolster mental health services in San Bernardino County, the Wellspring Crisis Residential Treatment Center in Fontana has been awarded a $2 million grant.

The funding, championed by Assembly Majority Leader Emeritus Eloise Gómez Reyes, will be directed towards rehabilitating the facility, ensuring it meets licensing requirements and provides top-tier care for its residents.

The Wellspring Center, contracted by San Bernardino County's Department of Behavioral Health (DBH), is one of five crisis residential treatment facilities in the County. It is pivotal in providing care for individuals experiencing mental health crises, particularly those grappling with psychosis or at risk of self-harm. With the capacity to serve up to 16 residents at any given time and staff available around the clock, the center offers treatment to 100-120 residents annually. Notably, over 70% of these residents are either experiencing homelessness or are homeless.

L

"This is a great investment for our vulnerable populations, and it's important that we continue to assist those with mental health issues with the treatment and services they need," said Supervisor Joe Baca, Jr. "The ultimate goal for the County is that we expand bed capacity.

People don't realize many families are struggling and a significant portion of the homeless population in the County needs these services. The county board of supervisors is doing everything possible to address these critical issues."

The grant will primarily fund the replacement of the center's residential appliances with commercial-grade alternatives designed for high-volume use. Given the facility's high turnover, appliances such as stoves, dishwashers, refrigerators, washers, dryers, and microwaves have seen considerable wear.

“This project reflects our commitment to ensure that individuals in San Bernardino County receive the highest quality of care, especially in a residential environment that will serve as their home for up to 90 days while they are in the program receiving services,” said County Behavioral Health Director Georgina Yoshioka.

Assembly Majority Leader Eloise Gómez Reyes remarked, "What an honor to present a check for $2 million to the residents of San Bernardino County.

Knowing that there is a great need for high-quality mental health treatment facilities is vital. I appreciate that the supervisors brought this to my attention. So when we were putting together our budget, I knew where $2 million needed to go, and we could allocate it here. I'm pleased that 100-120 residents receive treatment on-site every year, and that's something to be proud of. I'm happy to partner with the County on this incredible initiative."

This grant underscores the County's commitment to enhancing the quality of care for residents and showcases the administration's unwavering support for behavioral health and overall resident wellness.

Para Limpiar El Aire en Inland Empire Se Necesita De La AB 126

By Community Advocate

a medida aumenta los recursos financieros para los programas que combaten la contaminación producida por los vehículos de transporte.

La sesión legislativa que acaba de terminar en Sacramento fue productiva en la elaboración y aprobación de medidas para limpiar el aire, especialmente en las comunidades de minoría de Inland Empire en donde se halla la peor contaminación ambiental.

Una cantidad de proyectos ambientales relacionados con el aire, el agua, el viento y transporte, todos ligados a la concreción de un medio ambiente limpio, que especialmente afecta al sur de California. Están a la espera de la promulgación del gobernador Newsom.

Cabe destacar entre ellas la AB 126 de la asambleísta Eloise Gómez Reyes y la senadora Lena González ya que tendrá un impacto directo en el aire que respiran los residentes de California, al contribuir a reducir la contaminación, producto directo de la emisión de camiones y vehículos de transporte.

La región del Inland Empire conoce muy bien ese problema. Es un centro neurálgico que alberga los inmensos depósitos de Amazon, Walmart, UPS y otros.

Esos corredores de mercancías y almacenes de la zona atraen diariamente a miles de camiones diésel que contribuyen a la peor contaminación por ozono y partículas del país.

Hay 4,000 almacenes que bordean la región y generan unos 600,000 viajes diarios de camiones, que producen la asombrosa cantidad de 50 millones de libras de dióxido de carbono, según CalMatters.

Un camino para lograr la limpieza tan necesaria es la AB126. La medida autorizará aproximadamente 170 millones de dólares anuales durante la próxima década en apoyo del Programa de Transporte Limpio de California.

Este es un aumento en el pago de tasas que, en concreto, financiará incentivos a vehículos de emisiones cero, cargadores de vehículos eléctricos y estaciones de servicio de hidrógeno a través del Programa de Mejora de la Calidad del Aire, el Programa de Transporte Limpio y el Programa de Modernización Mejorada de Flotas.

El común denominador de estos programas es promover un aire limpio y comunidades saludables, al tiempo que ayudan a más familias y pequeñas empresas a poder estar al alcance de vehículos limpios.

Estos programas también ayudan a retirar los coches más viejos y contaminantes, proporcionan apoyo para la compra de camiones de cero emisiones y la infraestructura necesaria -como los cargadores- para apoyar la transición.

La fuerza de la AB 126 es dar prioridad a la equidad exigiendo que la Comisión de Energía de California destine al menos el 50% de la financiación del Programa de Transporte Limpio a proyectos que beneficien directamente a las comunidades "desfavorecidas".

Los residentes del Inland Empire siguen de cerca el futuro de la AB126, el gobernador tiene hasta el 14 de octubre para firmar la ley. La medida es fundamental para seguir avanzando en la meta de limpiar el aire para las comunidades latina perjudicadas por el elevado tránsito de camiones. Es un financiamiento de programas importantísimos y complementarios.

Los legisladores hicieron su parte en continuar el camino hacia la energía renovable con la aprobación de los proyectos, ahora es el turno de Newsom de demostrar cuán real es su compromiso con el medio ambiente dando su visto bueno al paquete de leyes ambientales aprobada esta sesión.

Marching for IE Families: $22K Raised in Fight Against Childhood Cancer, '30 Gift Cards in 30 Days' Challenge Aiming to Amplify Momentum

n a heartwarming display of community support, over 1,000 registered walkers took to the streets on Sunday, September 24th, raising more than $22,000 for the Childhood Cancer Foundation of Southern California (CCFSC).

The annual event, held during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, saw participants march from the CCFSC headquarters on Mountain View Ave., located in the Clark's Grocery shopping center, to the courtyard between Loma Linda University Medical Center and the college campus.

The event celebrated the resilience of children battling cancer and recognized individuals and families who made notable contributions. Awards were presented to the most spirited family, the top donor, the youngest, and the oldest walker.

Founded in 1979 by a group of parents with children diagnosed with cancer, CCFSC, formerly known as Candlelighters, has been a beacon of hope for families in Southern California. The organization, which achieved non-profit status in 1981, now supports over 800 families, offering emotional, social, educational, and emergency assistance.

"Support begins at the moment of diagnosis and remains available through every stage of treatment and beyond," the foundation states. Since its inception, CCFSC has provided services to over 2,000 pa-

tients and their families.

However, the battle against childhood cancer is not just medical. Many families in California face severe financial hardships, often having to make painful decisions like selling their homes or cars to afford treatment. CCFSC has launched the "30 gift cards in 30 days" challenge to address this. This initiative seeks donations of $10 gift cards from food establishments or restaurants to support families during their child's treatment.

"Gift cards help to minimize some of the stressors our families experience during their stay. Donating $10 gift cards from local restaurants, coffee shops, or stores can help offset some of their expenses while giving them PERMISSION to step away. Together, we can make an impact, and together, we can help a family heal," says Julie Gonzalez, a 4800 Social Worker.

How to Help: Physical Gift Cards: Mail or drop off at CCF Office - 11155 Mountain View Ave, Suite 105, Loma Linda. Attn: Unit 4800.

E-Gift Cards: Email kids@ccfsocal.org with a note/message: Unit 4800.

Monetary Donations: Via Zelle at kidseccfsocal.org or Venmo at ccfsocal. Add note/message: Unit 4800.
