HOW TO

ialto’s commitment to public safety was on full display Monday, May 13, as more than 100 City and civic leaders help break ground on a state-of-theart, 58,000-square-foot Police Facility.

Construction started on the new facility earlier this month and is anticipated to finish by late 2026. The existing police station will remain operational during the construction period, with no interruption in service.

By building the new station now, the City will be able to meet the public safety and quality-of-life needs well into the future. By 2035, Rialto forecasts its population to exceed 111,000, along with continued business expansion that has made it a critical economic and employment hub within the Inland Empire. Police staffing by 2035 is projected to reach 169 sworn officers and 91 civilian staff.

“This has been a long road, but we’ve finally gotten here, with the help of a lot of people. This station is for the men and

women of the Rialto Police Department. You are, by far, the finest in this state, if not this nation, and you deserve the finest facility to operate in. This is a new chapter for Rialto and Rialto PD, and I’m thrilled that we can celebrate this together,” said Rialto City Councilmember Ed Scott who was part of the committee that planned the new facility.

Last November, the City Council approved a development agreement with Griffin, Swinerton and a financing agree-

On the evening of Saturday, May 11, 2024, a suspected drunk driver caused significant chaos and destruction after crashing into the Rialto Fire Station 201, located at 131 S. Willow Avenue. The incident, which occurred around 9:15 p.m., left the station with severe structural damage, particularly in the crew personnel areas.

The driver, operating a Chevy Malibu, plowed into the day room of the fire station. Preliminary reports suggest that the impact may have ignited a small fire, which was promptly extinguished by the building's sprinkler system. Miraculously, no fire personnel were injured, as two firefighters had vacated the room moments before the crash.

The driver was transported to a local hos-

The City contributed $26 million from its unrestricted fund balance – money that is not part of the General Fund or other operating reserves as equity toward the project. The balance, estimated at roughly $57 million, is financed through the sale of bonds. The agreement with Griffin Swinerton reflects an innovative public-private partnership which streamlines the development process.

“On behalf of the Rialto Police Department, we are honored to serve the Rialto community and we’re looking forward to this new police facility to set the standard for law enforcement,“ said Mark Kling, Chief of Police who has served in that capacity since 2017, and also served as Chief of Police for Rialto from 2001 to 2012.

Colton Joint Unified Honored as Think Together’s 2024 Champion of Change, Programming Lauded as Transformational for Students

At its May 2 board meeting, Think Together, California's leading nonprofit provider of afterschool, expanded learning, and school improvement programs, recognized Colton Joint Unified School District (CJUSD) as its 2024 Champion of Change Award recipient. This honor highlights a 14-year partnership dedicated to enhancing educational opportunities for thousands of students.

Since 2010, Think Together and CJUSD have collaborated to provide free afterschool and expanded learning programs. This year alone, over 3,500 students in 22 schools across the district benefit from these programs. The initiatives span TKKindergarten, traditional afterschool programs, and noninstructional day sessions during summer, winter, and spring breaks.

“The Champion of Change Award for Think Together is given to partners that go above and beyond leveraging their resources to really make a huge impact and difference for their kids,” said Randy Barth, founder and CEO of Think Together. “This year, we’re proud to present this award to Colton Joint Unified School District for their innovative approach to scaling academic and enrichment programs so more kids can pursue their greatness.”

CJUSD has successfully utilized various funding sources, including Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELOP) grants and After School Education and Safety (ASES) funding, to eliminate waitlists and serve between 150-200 students daily at each of its 22 elementary and middle schools. This

strategic financial management has allowed the district to broaden its program reach significantly.

Moreover, CJUSD has integrated numerous community partners into Think Together’s expanded learning programs. Students gain exposure to music through Drums Speaks© and Dhasa Care Foundation, theater via L.A. Arts Group, and competitive sports through the LA84 Foundation. These collaborations enrich the students' educational experiences beyond the traditional curriculum.

“Colton has the unique ability to see a challenge and face it. They come in and make sure that not just every student has what they need, but every staff member has what they need,” said Rhonda Scott, Think Together’s General Manager for the San Bernardino Northeast region. “With the expanded learning opportunity, Think Together has been able to expand to offer more students and their families the invaluable opportunity for a safe place to be in the hours after the school bell rings.”

The recognition event, held at CJUSD’s public board meeting, was part of a series of spring events celebrating expanded learning programs. The occasion was attended by CJUSD Superintendent Dr. Frank Miranda and Think Together’s founder and CEO Randy Barth.

“It just brings so much joy to my heart to see what Think Together does for our community by providing opportunities where students can be happy and learn,” said Dr. Miranda. “It is transformational. I’m very happy with Think Together and as long as I am superintendent, we are going to continue to

WVWD’s 2024 Earth Day and Open House Celebration Highlights its Continued Commitment to the Rialto Community

West Valley Water District (WVWD) hosted its Annual Earth Day and Open House Celebration on Saturday, April 20, 2024.

and to celebrate Earth Day together”, said Board President, Greg Young. “I also want to express my gratitude for all the local dignitaries and community partners who joined us this year.

offer these programs to our community.”

Barth emphasized the district's commitment to innovation and student welfare. “CJUSD has been innovative in all the things they offer to students - they’ve expanded access to enrichment programs such as theater, to STEM, to sports; as well as embracing high-dosage tutoring to address the learning loss from the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Ron Perez, CJUSD ASES Grant Manager, highlighted the persistent need for expanded learning programs in the district. “There has always been a need in our district for services in expanded learning programs and when we started we only had 11 schools offering the program and because of the transparent need, we continued to apply for more programming. The impact that this has in our community is that parents know their child is safe and know that this program is available to them and there are no income guidelines or restrictions.”

The ASES program, now available at all elementary and middle schools in the district, provides a variety of activities that support both academic and personal development. “Parents really are thankful that this is funded by a grant and doesn't cost them any money and they know that their child is on campus and safe,” said Dr. Lisa Mannes, Principal of Sycamore Hills Elementary School.

Parents and students alike express gratitude for the program. CJUSD Parent Jose F. shared, “When my daughter gets home from this program she talks about what's happening and she loves it.”

Attendees had the opportunity to directly interact with WVWD departments through demonstrations and interactive displays showcasing the District’s commitment to high quality and reliable water, such as the Roemer Filtration Upgrade and Expansion Project which is currently under construction. On-site water treatment tours led by plant operators were given to attendees to provide a deeper understanding of the water treatment process and appreciation of our water resources.

“This annual event gives WVWD the opportunity to personally connect with our community of all ages to expand understanding about the District and our diverse water resources,

Alongside the WVWD booths, several local agencies, businesses, and non-profits also hosted booths and provided community members with additional information and resources. Local dignitaries in attendance included: Supervisor Jesse Armendarez, Mayor Deborah Roberston, Mayor Acquanetta Warren and representatives from the offices of Assembly Majority Leader Eloise Gomez Reyes and Supervisor Joe Baca.

The WVWD 2024 Earth Day and Open House Event is a free community event made possible through the contributions of community and business sponsors. The 2024 Earth Day & Open House top sponsors included Chase Bank, Inland Empire Utilities Agency, and Supervisor Jesse Armandarez.

San Bernardino City Unified School District Approves Ground Lease for New Fire Station

Comunity News

The San Bernardino City Unified School District (SBCUSD) announced the approval of a ground lease agreement with the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District (SBCFPD) to facilitate the construction of a new fire station intended to serve the Wildwood Park neighborhood and surrounding areas of the City of San Bernardino.

This strategic collaboration will see County Fire leasing approximately one acre on the southern portion of the Arrowhead Elementary School property to facilitate the building of a new fire station 227. The lease includes provisions for a longterm commitment that could extend up to 99 years, reflecting a significant investment in community safety and infrastructure.

The new fire station will enhance emergency response capabilities in the City of San Bernardino, offering immediate fire protection services directly adjacent to the school site.

Supervisor Joe Baca, Jr. added, "With the City of San Bernardino having one of the highest call volumes in the country, this fire station is a nec-

essary expansion of our capacity to ensure swift, efficient emergency responses. It will significantly bolster our preparedness and ability to protect our community and the surrounding areas, particularly those most vulnerable."

The modernized, energy-efficient facility is set to replace the community's existing station, located at 282 W 40th Street, which has proudly operated since 1953. The new station will include additional apparatus space and accommodate additional personnel to meet the fire, rescue and EMS needs for decades to come.

"Supervisor Baca has always been a big supporter of our schools here in San Bernardino City Unified and this new agreement with San Bernardino County Fire would not have been possible without his efforts. We are excited about the positive impact this will have on the community of San Bernardino and the staff and students at Arrowhead Elementary School,” said Superintendent Mauricio Arellano. “This partnership is in direct alignment with the District's recently Board-adopted Vision 2030: SBCUSD SHINES initiative,

where student success is bolstered through collaborations. Great things are happening ‘right here’ in San Bernardino.”

This proximity to the school and residential areas ensures that the fire station is a visible, integral part of the community it aims to protect, further enhancing the safety net for the residents of the City of San Bernardino.

"We are incredibly thankful to the San Bernardino City Unified School District for their partnership and commitment to public safety," said San Bernardino County Fire Chief Dan Munsey. "Their collaboration on building this new fire station is foundational to our efforts to improve fire protection services, decrease response times and better serve the community of San Bernardino.”

The construction and operational details of the fire station will adhere to the highest standards of safety and efficiency, ensuring a state-of-the-art facility that meets the growing needs of the City of San Bernardino.

Shocking Murder-Suicide Attempt Rocks Rialto Mobile Home Park: Woman Dead, Boyfriend Critical

Atranquil morning was shattered on Sunday, May 12th, 2024, as a domestic dispute erupted into violence at the Parque La Quinta Mobile Home Park. At approximately 9:12 a.m., the Rialto Police Department Communications Center received a frantic 9-1-1 call reporting shots fired at 350 S. Willow Avenue.

Officers responded swiftly and arrived on the scene just before 9:15 a.m., discovering a horrific scene. A 55-year-old woman was found unresponsive, suffering from a gunshot wound. Despite

immediate medical attention from Rialto Fire Department Paramedics, she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Inside the same mobile home, police discovered her boyfriend, Leonardo Rios-Gonzalez, suffering from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Preliminary investigations indicate that Rios-Gonzalez shot the victim before attempting to take his own life. He was rushed to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center, where he remains in critical but stable condition.

Authorities confirmed the relationship between the victim and

Rios-Gonzalez but are still probing the motive behind this tragic incident. Rialto Police Department Homicide Detectives have taken over the investigation and will be filing homicide charges against Rios-Gonzalez with the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office.

The Rialto Police Department is appealing to the public for any information that could assist in the investigation. Detective Sergeant Ralph Ballew can be contacted at (909) 533-7463. Additionally, anonymous tips can be reported through WeTip at (800) 7827463.

Empire Small Businesses, Host Roundtable with Local Business Owners

Community News

On Friday, Rep. Pete Aguilar highlighted small businesses in the Inland Empire alongside Small Business Administration (SBA) Administrator Isabel Guzman.

Rep. Aguilar and Administrator Guzman then hosted a roundtable, where they heard directly from local small business owners about how President Biden’s Investing in America agenda has helped them.

Under the Biden-Harris Administration, small business owners filed over 17 million new small business applications, including

1.7 million applications from California.

“Small businesses are the heart and soul of the Inland Empire,” said Rep. Pete Aguilar. “It is one of my top priorities to ensure that every small business owner in our community has the resources they need to succeed. I am thankful that Administrator Guzman and the Biden-Harris Administration have placed a strong emphasis on supporting small businesses and have helped owners cut through red tape and expand their businesses.”

"California is enjoying a historic Small Business Boom, with ten percent of the more than 17 million new business applica-

tions filed under this Administration coming from the Golden State alone," said SBA Administrator Guzman. "The Inland Empire in particular is home to a thriving small business ecosystem. I was glad to join Congressman Aguilar to hear from some of these entrepreneurs and help ensure SBA is well-positioned to support constituents in the Inland Empire as they start, grow and build resilient businesses."

Last year, Rep. Pete Aguilar introduced a package of bills to help minority- and womenowned businesses compete for contracts to develop and build federal infrastructure projects.

IEHP’s Second Annual Run, Walk & Roll 5K Recognizes I.E.’s Military Community

Community News

Meet your daily step goals while supporting the region’s military community at the second annual Run, Walk & Roll 5K on May 18 at Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP).

Hosted each year by IEHP’s Military Veterans & Families (MVF) Committee to spotlight active military, veterans, and their families, the free event takes walkers and runners along a marked 3.5-mile course around IEHP’s Rancho Cucamonga campus at 10801 Sixth St. Organizers hope to increase participation this year by building on tradition.

“Aside from the fitness aspect, military runs are for units to bond, build camaraderie and come together,” says Gary Scott, a U.S. Army veteran who serves as the health plan’s manager of instructional design and learning technology. “We wanted to recognize our military brethren by paying homage to those traditions while doing an actual run, and a 5K seemed like a good idea.”

The MVF Committee is comprised of IEHP team members

with ties to the armed forces. It works year-round to bring attention to military-related issues, from raising funds for local causes to hosting events such as last year’s inaugural Military Ball.

Approximately 215,000 veterans reside in Riverside and San Bernardino counties, ranking eighth and 13th, respectively, among the veteran population in the country, according to U.S. Vets, a nonprofit serving homeless and at-risk veterans within the I.E.

According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, 50% of veterans in the VA healthcare system are eligible for Medicare, which is among the population IEHP serves.

“There’s a real probability you’re working with a veteran, or someone related to a veteran, in your own community space,” Scott says. “So, come out for a good run, some fresh air and a little exercise. This will be a great bonding opportunity for each of us.”

The Run, Walk & Roll 5K is open to all ages and fitness levels. All activities be

Planned Parenthood Sues Fontana: Claims City’s Moratorium Unconstitutionally Blocks New Health Clinic, Stages Silent Protest

Planned Parenthood of Orange and San Bernardino Counties, Inc. (PPOSBC) has filed a lawsuit against the City of Fontana and its City Council, accusing them of unlawfully obstructing the establishment of a new reproductive health clinic. The lawsuit challenges an "urgency ordinance" adopted on September 5, 2023, which imposes a moratorium on permits for "non-entertainment service-based uses" in specific downtown areas, effectively blocking the clinic’s opening.

Ordinance Under Fire

PPOSBC contends that this ordinance is a veiled attempt to prevent the clinic from providing abortion services, a constitutionally protected right. The organization argues that the ordinance is unconstitutional, procedurally flawed, and driven by anti-abortion sentiment.

"The City Council’s actions are a blatant attempt to use political means to restrict access to essential healthcare services," said Sadaf Rahmani, Public Affairs Director for PPOSBC. "Our lawsuit is about protecting our patients' rights and ensuring they receive the care they need."

Background of the Dispute

After securing a lease for a location in downtown Fontana in May 2022, PPOSBC spent over a year obtaining necessary permits. However, the process was stalled by continuous demands from the City Planning Department for aesthetic adjustments to the clinic's architectural plans.

Despite these delays, PPOSBC received verbal approval on July 12, 2023, only to face increased opposition from anti-abortion activists and subsequent city council actions.

Public protests and City Council meetings were dominated by anti-abortion rhetoric, culminating in the adoption of the urgency ordinance on July 25, 2023. The moratorium was later extended for ten months and 15 days on September 5, 2023, expiring on July 20, 2024, with a City Council meeting set for July 23, 2024, to discuss further action.

Claims of Targeted Ordinance

PPOSBC asserts that the ordinance specifically targets their clinic, as no other businesses have been affected. The organization points out that the ordinance was adopted without adequate notice or evidence of an emergency, and it allegedly exempts properties where City Council members have personal or financial interests, suggesting conflicts of interest and arbitrary zoning practices.

"The City’s manipulation of the ordinance map to exclude certain properties shows a clear intent to block our clinic while protecting their own interests," Rahmani stated.

Legal Arguments

The lawsuit claims that the ordinance violates several constitutional rights, including:

Right to Access Reproductive Healthcare: The California Constitution guarantees the right to access abortion and contraceptive services.

Equal Protection and Due Process: The ordinance is seen as a discriminatory act against PPOSBC, violating both state and federal constitutional protections.

Property Rights: The moratorium is argued to be an unconstitutional taking of private property without compensation, violating both the California Constitution and the Takings Clause of the U.S. Constitution.

Seeking Immediate Relief

PPOSBC is requesting an immediate stay of the ordinance, a writ of mandate to repeal it, and compensation for the illegal takings and legal costs. They argue that the moratorium is causing irreparable harm to their patients, who are being denied essential healthcare services.

Impact on the Community

PPOSBC highlights the significant need for their services in Fontana. The city has a high percentage of residents living below the poverty line【 source†(U.S. Census Bureau) 】 . Additionally, San Bernardino County, where Fontana is located, has higher rates of

sexually transmitted infections than the state average 【source†(CDC)】

"A PPOSBC health center in Fontana could provide over 2,000 medical visits per month, offering services like cancer screenings, birth control, STI testing, and primary care," Rahmani explained. "Our clinic would fill a critical gap in accessible healthcare for this community."

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the percentage of Fontana residents living below the federal poverty level is projected to increase by about 50% over the next decade, indicating that a growing portion of the city’s population is in dire need of affordable or no-cost healthcare【source†(U.S. Census Bureau)】

Furthermore, 30.5% of Fontana citizens are uninsured or on Medi-Cal, compared to the rest of California's 29.5%【source†(U.S. Census Bureau)】. Meanwhile, San Bernardino County residents have higher average rates of STIs, including chlamydia and gonorrhea, than the rest of the state or the nation【source†(CDC)】

A PPOSBC health center would provide Fontana residents with more than 36,000 medical visits each year, with appointments seven days a week, and create at least 24 local jobs.

Silent Protest and Community Support

In response to the city’s actions, PPOSBC organized a silent protest at the Fontana City Council meeting on May 14, 2024. Volunteers wore pink "I Stand with Planned Parenthood" shirts and held posters highlighting the importance of the clinic. A mobile billboard also circled Fontana City Hall, drawing attention to the city’s unconstitutional actions.

"We are standing up for our community members' rights," said Rahmani. "This protest is a call to action against extremist efforts to block essential healthcare services."

Supporters are encouraged to visit bansoffabortion.org to learn more about the lawsuit and how to take action against the city’s restrictions. The case is scheduled for a hearing on June 4, 2024, which could set a precedent for similar disputes across the country.
