With school back in session, the Rialto Unified School District is gearing up for two of the biggest community events of the year, each bringing students, families, and educators together in unique and meaningful ways.
An annual highlight on the District calendar has always been the Family Summit,
RUSD’s signature event now in its 18th year. Dedicated to strengthening the bond between schools and families, the Summit takes center stage on October 25 this year.
And before the Family Summit, the District will join the City of Rialto in hosting ¡Viva la Fiesta!, a vibrant celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month on September 27. The community is invited to participate in each of these engaging celebrations.

A18th Annual Family Summit
On Saturday, October 25, RUSD will welcome families from across the District to W.A. Carter High School for a full day of learning, connection, and inspiration. From 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., families will have the opportunity to explore important information about their child’s education, engage with RUSD staff, connect with local vendors and community resources, participate
federal operation in San Bernardino turned chaotic Saturday (and potentially unlawful) when U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents opened fire on a family’s vehicle, sparking outrage from state and local leaders and renewed debate over the limits of local police cooperation with federal immigration authorities.
According to San Bernardino Police Department spokesperson Chris Gray, officers were dispatched at 8:51 a.m. on Aug. 16 to Acacia Avenue and Baseline Street following reports of shots fired. Gray said responding officers encountered federal agents who reported being involved in an officer-involved shooting and that the suspect had fled in a vehicle.
The man later called SBPD dispatch, stating masked men had broken his car window, fired shots, and failed to identify themselves. Officers located the vehicle in the 1000 block of
Mt. View Drive but left after determining the matter involved federal authorities.
“Under the California Values Act, California law enforcement agencies are prohibited from assisting federal officials with immigration enforcement, so our officers left the scene as the investigation was being conducted by federal authorities,” Gray said.
Gray added that SBPD was later called back around 1:12 p.m. when federal officials requested assistance with crowd control during an attempted arrest. Federal officials alleged the man had assaulted a federal officer, a violation of U.S. Code § 111.
“San Bernardino Police officers provided support with crowd control,” Gray said. “This was not an immigrationrelated arrest, which would be prohibited under California law.”
The incident has since drawn RUSD cont. on next pg.

The annual Family Summit brings together thousands of attendees (who range from students and families to staff and community leaders) each year and reflects RUSD’s ongoing commitment to harnessing the power of education to unite families across all grade levels. More than a resource fair, it is a celebration of collaboration, where families, educators, and community leaders come together to support student success.
¡Viva la Fiesta!
Before the Summit arrives, Rialto families will have the opportunity to gather at Jerry Eaves Park on Saturday, September 27, from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. for ¡Viva la Fiesta!, an annual partnership between the City of Rialto and RUSD that celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month.
The evening will feature live performances, powerful guest speakers, and plenty of activities for children and families, including a piñata station, bounce houses, face painting, a
360° photo booth, and more. This year’s featured speakers include Dr. Enrique G. Murillo, Jr., professor of Chicano Studies and founder of LEAD at Cal State San Bernardino, and Gloria Macías Harrison, the first Latina president of Crafton Hills College and co-founder of El Chicano newspaper.
Wristbands for admission to activities are available from the City of Rialto' Parks and Recreation Department for $5 until September 26 and $7 on the day of the event. For more information, contact Parks and Recreation at 909-421-4949.
Whether through the cultural celebration of ¡Viva la Fiesta! or the educational focus of the Family Summit, Rialto USD continues to foster opportunities for families to engage, connect, and celebrate together. Both events highlight the District’s belief that strong schools are built on strong partnerships with families and the wider community. Together, these events set the stage for a season of unity and celebration throughout the RUSD educational community.
Border Agents (cont.)
- condemnation from local officials.
“Our community has been shaken by a disturbing incident in which customs and border protection agents fired upon a family’s vehicle without clear warning or identification,” San Bernardino Mayor Helen Tran said. “While federal officials claim the agents acted in self defense citing an alleged attempt by the driver to harm officers – that explanation remains unverified and deeply troubling. … We call for a full and partial investigation, the release of all available footage and accountability if procedures were violated.”
State Senator Eloise Gómez Reyes (DColton) said she has been in communication with San Bernardino city leaders and immigrant rights organizations.
“I am outraged by the violent attack that took place on San Bernardino community members this weekend, and demand that CPB and Department of Homeland Security provide evidence supporting claims of assault on a federal agent,” Reyes said. “Some public statements made by federal officials regarding this incident have been refuted by on-scene video and community testimony. Honesty and transparency will be critical.”
Federal officials have not released body camera footage or clarified whether a warrant was issued. Homeland Security said its agents fired in self-defense after being struck by the suspect’s vehicle.
San Bernardino Police Department officials said further questions should be directed to Homeland Security.

San Bernardino Police Officers Assist Federal Agents After Officer-Involved Shooting, Crowd Forms During Arrest
By San Bernardino PD
On August 16, 2025, at approximately 8:51 a.m., San Bernardino Police Department officers responded to the area of Acacia Avenue and Baseline Street following reports of shots being fired. Upon arrival, officers encountered federal agents who advised they were involved in an officer-involved shooting and that the involved suspect had fled the scene in a vehicle.
Shortly thereafter, the suspect contacted our dispatch center, stating that masked men had tried to pull him over, broke his car window, and shot at him. He reported that he did not know who they were and requested police assistance. Officers were able to locate the vehicle in the 1000 block of Mt. View Drive and made contact with the suspect. At that time, it was unclear what the suspect was wanted for. Under the California Values Act, California law enforcement agencies are prohibited from assisting federal officials with immigration enforcement, so our officers left the scene as the investigation was being conducted by federal authorities.
At approximately 1:12 p.m., federal officials requested assistance from our department due to a large crowd forming as they attempted to arrest the subject for assaulting a federal officer in violation of 18 U.S. Code § 111 –Forcibly assaulting, resisting, or impeding federal officers. Once it was determined that the subject was wanted for assaulting a federal officer, our officers responded back to assist when requested. San Bernardino Police officers provided support with crowd control.
Under the California Values Act, local law enforcement may assist federal officials when officer or public safety is at risk. In this case, federal agents requested assistance during a lawful arrest for assaulting a federal officer when a crowd created a potential officer safety concern. This was not an immigration-related arrest, which would be prohibited under California law.
Federal investigators are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the officer-involved shooting. For more details, please contact Homeland Security Officials.

Six people were cited for driving without a valid license or with a suspended license during a DUI checkpoint on Friday, Aug. 15.
A total of 259 vehicles passed through the checkpoint on Colton Avenue between New York and Texas streets between 6 p.m. Friday and 1 a.m. Saturday.
DUI checkpoint locations are determined based on reported incidents of impaired driving-related crashes. The primary purpose of DUI checkpoints is to promote public safety by taking sus-
To help keep our community safe, the the Redlands Police Department will have additional officers on patrol through Labor Day (Sept. 1) looking for drivers suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. The additional efforts to prevent impaired driving are part of a national enforcement campaign, Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.
Funding for this checkpoint was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Detectives Search Second Home in Missing Person Investigation
By Redlands PD
Redlands Police detectives on Tuesday served a search warrant on a second residence in connection with the disappearance of Emilio Salem Ghanem, a Nashville man last seen at a Redlands coffee shop more than two years ago.
Redlands Police, assisted by the Riverside County Sheriff's Department, the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office and the FBI Safe Streets Task Force, served the search warrant on the home in the 57000 block of Forestry Road in Anza at approximately 5 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 12.
Eight people at the home were briefly detained and later released at the scene. There were no arrests.
Ghanem was reported missing shortly after he visited a Starbucks restaurant at 625 E. Redlands Blvd. on May 25, 2023. A rented Nissan Frontier pickup he was driving was spotted on surveillance video later that day in Grand Terrace.
Detectives later recovered the rental truck along with other evidence.
Ghanem had been a member of “His Way Spirit Led Assemblies,” a religious organization based in the City of Hemet. He left that organization shortly before his disappearance. Ghanem also worked for Fullshield, Inc., a pest control business owned and operated by the group. The business now operates under the name “Maxguard.”
The Anza residence, along with another residence in Hemet where police served a search warrant last week, are both connected with the group. Police recovered evidence at both locations in connection with the investigation.
Redlands detectives are also working with Claremont Police who are investigating the disappearance of another man connected with the group that was reported in 2019. Ghanem is described as a white male adult with hazel eyes and black hair, 5 feet, 7 inches tall, 130 pounds. He was 40 years old at the time of his disappearance.

UC Leaders Respond to Legislators After Third State Audit Detailing Lack of Urgency and Accountability in Complying with Federal Law to Return Native American Remains
Community News
Legislators and tribal leaders questioned top University of California (UC) leaders after a third scathing state audit into why the UC system has made negligible progress since the passage of a 1990 law requiring universities to return hundreds of thousands of human remains and cultural items to tribes.
Members of the Joint Legislative Audit Committee and the Assembly Select Committee on Native American Affairs listened to State Auditor Grant Parks report his findings into UC’s negligible progress in meeting a decades-old federal deadline. There was a UC audit undertaken in 2019, a second UC review in 2021 and a third review undertaken in 2024 and released in April. For the April report, the auditing team studied four UC campuses – Berkeley, Riverside, San Diego and Santa Barbara.
Assemblymember James C. Ramos (D-San Bernardino), chairperson of the Select Committee on Native American Affairs said, “It is long past time for our at ancestors to receive the respectful reburial they deserve. They should not be in boxes in shelves or on display as some sort of trophy. A new president started at UC earlier this month, and we expect that the university system will truly begin a new chapter in meeting this moral and legal obligation.”
“I cannot think of anything more personal or meaningful than ensuring that one’s ancestral remains and belongings are given the respect and dignity they deserve. The University of California must do what is right - return these sacred remains and belongings to
California’s Native American tribes. I’m thankful to partner with Asm. Ramos on this effort, and for his leadership in advocating for California’s first peoples.” said Assemblymember John Harabedian (D-Pasadena), chairperson of the Joint Legislative Audit Committee.
UC Office of the President Provost Katherine Newman, UC Berkeley Chancellor Rich Lyons and repatriation coordinators from two UC campuses responded for UC. Yachi Yokut Tribe Chair Leo Sisco, Venturina Chumash and Sand City Mayor Mary Ann Carbone, Redding Rancheria Chair John Potter Jr., Amah Mutsum Tribal Band Chair Valentin Lopez and Tule River Tribe Chair Shine Nieto spoke on behalf of tribes.
Potter, who also spoke at a news briefing on the subject, said, “If you want to study an Indian, I’m right here. It takes money to do a lot of things but it should just take your heart. You hear the heart of these people crying from these shelves (shelves where universities store remains in boxes).”
Some key excerpts from the latest state audit released in April 2025:
“…it has been more than 30 years since the establishment of [the federal Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA)], and the university’s campuses still hold the remains of thousands of individuals, as well as hundreds of thousands of cultural items…”
• “This report concludes that the university lacks
the accountability and urgency needed to promptly return Native American remains and cultural items.”
• “The Office of the President has not effectively overseen the university’s compliance with NAGPRA, despite years of increased external attention” nor has it “ensured that campuses proactively search for undiscovered remains and items.”
• “The university does not know the full extent of its NAGPRA collections” and it “does not know how much work remains to achieve full repatriation and has not properly cared for all items it possesses”—including “one campus [that] has several outstanding loans of potential cultural items and…another campus [where] some potential cultural items were stolen in 2022.”
• “The university is not spending significant portions of [its] NAGPRA funding, including funding intended to support tribes with their repatriation expenses…We found that three of the four [investigated] campuses—Berkeley, Santa Barbara, and San Diego—[had] each repeatedly carried over these funds to the next fiscal year.”
• After citing “the pervasive weaknesses we observed in the Office of the President’s oversight of NAGPRA,” the auditor’s report suggested “the Legislature can regulate the university’s conduct through its power to control the funding appropriated to the university. Therefore, the Legislature should consider directly appropriating funding specifically for NAGPRA and CalNAGPRA compliance and including a set of conditions that the university must comply with in the use of those funds.”

State Water Board Member Tours San Bernardino County Septic to Sewer Projects
Community News
California State Water Resources Control Board member Nichole Morgan toured and praised two major San Bernardino County septic-to-sewer projects today — Arrowhead Farms in unincorporated San Bernardino and Arrow Route in unincorporated Fontana — both designed to improve water quality and public health.
Board of Supervisors Chairman and Third District Supervisor Dawn Rowe said the projects demonstrate the county’s long-term commitment to protecting residents and local resources.
“These projects are an important investment in the safety of our communities, ensuring cleaner water and stronger infrastructure for the future,” Rowe said.
The Arrowhead Farms project, led by the San Bernardino Municipal Water Department, received $959,000 in Community Project Funding secured by Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-Redlands) to connect more than 250 residential parcels to municipal sewer service.
“This work not only improves infrastructure, it also builds confidence with state partners that San Bernardino County is ready to deliver on critical projects,” said Board of Supervisors Vice Chair Joe Baca, Jr., whose Fifth District includes Arrowhead Farms.
The Arrow Route project will similarly replace aging septic systems with modern sewer infrastructure to support the county’s water quality and infrastructure goals.
“For many residents, this
will mean cleaner water, safer neighborhoods and infrastructure they can count on,” said Supervisor Jesse Armendarez, whose Second District includes the Arrow Route project area.
Morgan said the projects reflect strong alignment between local priorities and state funding opportunities.
“Projects like these are critical as we work to fully achieve the Human Right to Water through ensuring reliable access to sanitation for all Californians,” Morgan said. “I applaud the foresight of San Bernardino County in identifying and taking action on two critical projects. These two projects will benefit approximately 2,500 residents by providing reliable access to sanitation and improving water quality.”
Congressman David Rouzer Tours San Bernardino County to Discuss Critical Infrastructure, Wildfire Response and Goods Movement
Congressman David Rouzer (R-North Carolina), chairman of the House Subcommittee on Highways and Transit, toured San Bernardino County on Tuesday, Aug. 5, to view firsthand the regional infrastructure and wildfire-prone areas critical to California’s emergency response capabilities and the national supply chain.
The visit, hosted by the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors, emphasized the region’s role in supporting national logistics and goods movement and the critical need for investment in public safety infrastructure.
The tour included an aerial overview of major regional transportation projects over the I-10 and I-15 freeways, one of the nation’s worst bottlenecks, the Cajon Pass, and key corridors in the High Desert that are vital to the movement of goods and people, as well as burn scar areas and emergency access routes.
“This region plays a vital role in our nation’s supply chain and disaster response framework,” said Congressman Rouzer. “This visit provided insight into the
challenges and opportunities San Bernardino County faces in protecting lives and supporting the movement of goods across the country. As we work on the next surface transportation bill, I will take these priorities back to Washington to ensure areas like this are considered in legislative conversations.”
At the County Government Center, members of the Board of Supervisors met with the congressman to share their support for federal policies that streamline funding and accelerate project delivery.
“We were proud to welcome Congressman Rouzer and show him firsthand the importance of building resilient roads and bridges,” said Board Chairman Dawn Rowe. “We’re especially grateful to our congressional delegation, who consistently champion our area’s infrastructure needs in Washington, and to Congressman Rouzer for taking the time to see why this region must remain a priority in federal transportation policy.”
“We’re excited to collaborate with our federal partners for the sake of performance, safety, and long-term growth,” said Sheriff Shannon Dicus. “The Sheriff’s Department remains committed to working closely with the Board of Supervisors to grow our region responsibly—because strong transportation networks
aren’t just critical for commuters and commerce, they’re essential for public safety and protecting lives in high-risk fire zones.”
County Fire Chief Dan Munsey led the public safety portion of the aerial tour, emphasizing the importance of maintaining ingress and egress in high-risk fire zones.
“When wildfires strike, seconds matter. The roads we showed Congressman Rouzer today are lifelines,” said Chief Dan Munsey. “Federal investments in infrastructure that strengthen emergency access will save lives, not just here, but in any community that depends on safe evacuation routes and fast response times.”
This visit is part of San Bernardino County’s broader federal engagement strategy to ensure upcoming surface transportation legislation reflects the needs of inland communities and goods movement corridors.
While the bill is still under development, San Bernardino County is working proactively to ensure future federal funding formulas, grant programs, and policy reforms, such as the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) streamlining and statutory exemptions for emergency infrastructure, support high-priority projects throughout the region.

Viva La Boba Confronts Pride Flag Pushback Ahead of Redlands Ribbon Cutting Celebration
By Manny Sandoval
Despite soft launching in January, Viva La Boba celebrated the official ribbon cutting of its second location in Redlands on August 8, drawing city leaders and community members to the former Vans skate shop at 501 Orange Street.
Redlands Mayor Mario Saucedo, Councilmember Denise Davis, and the Redlands Chamber of Commerce joined owners Tansu Philip and David Friedman to mark the opening. Philip, a Redlands High School graduate, said the new location has rekindled longstanding ties.
“A lot of reconnecting has happened since the Redlands location opened, with teachers, classmates, and people I haven’t seen in years,” Philip said. “A lot of people stop by because it used to be the iconic Vans skate shop.”
But the path to opening wasn’t without obstacles. Philip said the business has faced ongoing backlash since development over a pride flag that flies high above the shop’s roof.
“We’ve had a lot of flack about the pride flag and someone successfully took it down twice before we even opened. We recently got fined by the city of Redlands saying we illegally put it up,” Philip said.
“Today, David (Realicore Real Estate Developer) climbed on the roof to snap photos and took those photos to the city, having to prove that we are not in violation of the city code.” This occurred as a result of Viva La Boba receiving a letter saying the pride flag is displayed illegally.
Philip said online reviews have also
reflected hostility. “We’re getting 1-star reviews because of the pride flag,” she said. “A few Yelp reviews have said, ‘Good boba but they need to get rid of the flag that promotes mental illness.’ It’s like, come on people, we’re not in Alabama; we’re in California.”
She emphasized the broader purpose of Viva La Boba as a community gathering place. “As Americans, we don’t have many ‘third spaces’ — a safe place outside of home, work, or school,” Philip said. “It’s more of a European thing, but we want to create that here in Redlands.”
The Redlands shop was developed by David Friedman of Realicore Real Estate Group after a two-year process. The owners plan to host community events including comedy nights, open mic music, scrapbooking clubs, indigenous keychain workshops, and paint-and-sip gatherings.
In addition to fostering community, Viva La Boba offers a wide range of colorful specialty drinks.
Among the standouts are the IE Sunset, a raspberry lemonade layered with butterfly pea tea and fruit jellies; the lavender-infused Moon Milk Tea; and the chamoy-rimmed Mangonada. Smoothies, fruit teas, and classic milk teas round out the menu.
Philip and Friedman emphasized that Viva La Boba remains committed to its San Bernardino roots, while the Redlands expansion reflects the same blend of inclusivity, creativity, and community focus that defined their first shop.
Riverside Moves Forward with New Sports and Entertainment Complex Proposal on Site of Former Ab Brown Sports Complex
Community News
The City Council voted unanimously today (8/19) to enter into an exclusive negotiating agreement with Riverside-based GCS Development to transform 56 acres of city-owned land in the Northside neighborhood into the Riverside Sports Complex & Entertainment District, a groundbreaking destination set to redefine community recreation and economic growth in the region.
GCS Development of Riverside envisions a Master Plan for a professional, multi-use stadium, six soccer fields, and an indoor sports and game complex as part of the first phase. The future phase is planned to include housing, retail and community spaces including a central park featuring family-friendly amenities, walking/jogging trails, bike paths, playgrounds, and a dog park.
“This project provides recreational opportunities that Riverside and our greater region have never had,” Mayor Patricia Lock Dawson said. “It will create a dynamic destination that will energize our local economy and make Riverside the premiere hub for sports and entertainment.”
The site formerly housed the Ab Brown Sports Complex, an 18-field soccer facility that was home to the American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO) Region 47 from 1985 to 2018. The site, vacant since 2018, is now poised for a comeback, creating economic opportunity and breathing new life into the com-
munity in alignment with the Northside Specific Plan’s goals.
The Riverside Sports Complex & Entertainment District would inject life into the property, create economic opportunity for the Northside and meet the vision and goals of the Northside Specific Plan and the City’s General Plan.
Separate from the Riverside Adventure Center, already under review through the Exclusive Negotiating Agreement approved in February 2025, the Sports Complex and Entertainment District will serve as a complimentary powerhouse driving growth and opportunity in the Northside and throughout the city.
The Riverside Adventure Center includes a public park, a recreational adventure center and a mixed-use commercial complex, including a grocery store, hotel and conference center, housing and restaurants.
“The promise of pairing the Sports Complex and Entertainment District with the Riverside Adventure Center represents a generational opportunity in the Northside area and the entire city,” Mayor Pro Tem Chuck Conder said. “We are honoring our rich sports history while launching Riverside into the future.”
Riverside’s Sports Complex and Entertainment District, a multi-billion-dollar vision, is the future of multi-sport entertainment, urban living and e-sports, positioning Riverside to become the Inland Empire’s ultimate sports and entertainment destination.
Highlights of the concept plan for the Sports Complex and Entertainment District include:
A 5,005-seat (expandable to 15,000 seats) stadium for soccer, rugby, football and lacrosse.
A 108-room stadium hotel to accommodate visitors.
Riverside Live, an indoor/outdoor venue for festivals and concerts making the district a year-round cultural destination.
A 130,000-square-foot sports complex for pickleball, padel and other court games.
Six soccer fields, including two fullsize multi-sport fields and four youth-
sized soccer fields.
1,100 residential units, including 25 percent affordable units. 193,000 square feet of retail space for shopping and dining.
A central park and dedicated dog park for community enjoyment.
3,498 parking stalls, along with approximately 100 EV charging stations.
The exclusive negotiating agreement lasts for one year, with the option of a six-month extension. If the City and GCS Development reach agreement on terms, those would be included in a disposition and development agreement that would be voted on by the City Council.
