n a major turn of events, Governor Gavin Newsom has reversed a significant portion of the proposed budget cuts to the California Arts Council (CAC).

The proposed $22.5 million cut, representing a drastic 58 percent reduction to the council's grants budget, has been revised to a $5 million cut following robust advocacy efforts. This decision is a vital reprieve for the arts community, particularly in the

Inland Empire, where arts organizations have been actively fighting against these cuts.

Advocacy Efforts Prove Impactful Alejandro Gutierrez Chavez, Executive Director of Arts Connection, shared key updates following a meeting with Senator Steven Padilla’s office. "Thanks to our community’s collective advocacy efforts, we’ve made significant progress with our elected

officials at the state level," said Gutierrez Chavez. "Both houses have agreed to maintain the full equitable payroll fund of $12.5 million, a huge win for the performing arts sector. Additionally, they have revised the $10 million cut to the California Arts Council to a $5 million cut and have pledged to fully fund the CAC in the 20252026 budget. As a result, we are now looking at a $5 million cut compared to the iniArt, cont. on next pg.

been preserved as well. We need to ensure we are able to preserve agencies like the California Arts Council because there is a threat of the state trying to have the arts council placed under the governor's office for business."

The Power of Collective Voices Josiah Bruny, Founder of Music Changing Lives, expressed his excitement during a live update on the Inland Insight with IECN Podcast. "I’m thrilled to announce that my colleagues of the California Arts Council and Californians for the Arts are in Sacramento right now, and we just received an email from them," said Bruny. "We’re thrilled that the state leaders have reversed 75 percent of the cuts that have been proposed. Advocates have sent over 9,000 letters and made calls, our efforts have been incredibly successful. Congratulations, but there is still work that needs to be done."

Bruny highlighted the power of collective voices in driving change. "If we are not talking about issues, signing petitions, and engaging with our legislators, nothing gets done. I want to thank everyone who participated in this advocacy."

The Impact on the Inland Empire The Inland Empire, a region that receives only 2 percent of the CAC budget, faces unique challenges. "So you're talking about an agency sending out millions of dollars, and if we're all artists here fighting for just 2 percent of the funds as the largest county in the State, that's only 67 cents per capita being invested into our communities," Bruny explained. "We need to become very effective at letting the state know that we lead the arts in the Inland Empire."

Jorge Osvaldo, Executive Director of the Garcia Center for the Arts, emphasized the importance of continued advocacy. "The budget that has been approved for $12.5 million to launch the equitable payroll fund to pay performing arts creatives has

Osvaldo underscored the importance of maintaining the CAC as an independent agency. "We want to make sure that the California Arts Council stays as an independent agency, as it ensures the people that run it have a good understanding of what it means to be a working artist and creative entrepreneur; it’ll better keep the agency from becoming a bureaucracy."

Success Stories and Future Prospects Osvaldo shared a success story from the Inland Empire, highlighting the impact of CAC funding.

"The Inland Film Festival, which just launched a very successful event in downtown San Bernardino, received a $100K grant from the California Arts Council through the Creative Core Fund and $25K from the Impact Project Grant.

This festival brought together hundreds of local filmmakers, including producers, directors, cinematographers, audio engineers, actors, and actresses. This just goes to show how important these dollars are to artists in the community."

With the revised cuts, the arts sector in California, particularly in underserved regions like the Inland Empire, has gained a crucial reprieve. However, the fight continues as advocates work to ensure sustained and increased funding in future budgets.

The collective efforts of the arts community have made a substantial impact, demonstrating the power of advocacy and the importance of the arts in California. As the state moves forward, continued support and engagement will be critical in ensuring the vitality and growth of the arts sector.

Keystone Cafe Food Pantry: A Beacon of Hope in Rialto Community News

J

ust a few short years ago, our community was tested by the pandemic. We adapted to limited contact, drive-thru food distributions, and increased home deliveries.

In the midst of these challenges, the number of food-insecure households was rising.

This was a situation that our Lead Child Nutrition Agent, Fausat Rahman-Davies, found unacceptable. She saw an opportunity for our community to unite and provide a lifeline to these struggling households- the Keystone Cafe Food Pantry.

Partnering with Mrs. Juanita Chan-Roden, Agent for the district’s Science and career Programs, they created the Keystone Cafe Food Pantry.

This was not just a solution to a critical need in our community but also an opportunity for our students to learn more about community service and work towards earning their California State Seals of Civic Engagement. The Keystone Cafe Food Pantry, operating separately from the district’s nutrition program, began providing dry food goods and produce in a drivethru format.

Thanks to the unwavering support of Rialto’s Board of Education, Acting Superintendent Dr. Edward D’Souza, and the collective efforts of community partners like Feeding America, Amazon, a local pantry, and countless volunteers from dis-

trict staff and Career Technical (CTE) students, Rialto's Keystone Cafe Food Pantry provided eight distributions during the 2023-2024 school year, feeding over 8,000 households this academic year alone. This collaborative effort has ensured nearly monthly distributions since the opening event on November 19, 2021.

Numerous volunteers play a critical role in each distribution's success. Support from the District Safety Operations and local police has helped ensure the smooth traffic operation. Inside the gates, you will find Acting Superintendent Dr. D’Souza humbly wearing a caution vest and directing traffic while Mr. Derek Harris, Lead Risk Management and Transportation Agent, engages with families.

Meanwhile, students and staff assist with loading muchneeded resources for Rialto USD families and community members. Inspired by Mother Theresa, Dr. D’Souza states, “Caring for our community means doing all things, great and small, with great love.”

The Keystone Cafe Food Pantry will resume operations in the fall. Until then, the Rialto Unified School District will continue to feed all children aged 1-18 at no cost through their Summer Feeding Program.

San Bernardino County Homeless Population Growth Slows to 1% Amid $181.7M Investment in Homelessness Solutions

By IECN Staff

S

an Bernardino County's homeless population grew by just 1 percent over the past year, a stark contrast to the 26 percent surge in 2022 and 6.6 percent increase in 2021. This slowdown, revealed by the latest Point-in-Time Count (PITC) data, is a sign that the county's aggressive efforts to combat homelessness are beginning to pay off.

The January 25 PITC data indicated a modest rise in the homeless population, with 42 more individuals reported than last year, bringing the total to 4,237. This slight increase includes a 2.6 percent uptick in unsheltered individuals, with 79 more people living on the streets compared to 2023. However, there was a 3.1 percent decrease in the number of sheltered homeless individuals, signaling potential progress in finding more permanent solutions.

“This data shows a flattening

of our homeless numbers, which is a promising sign that we are heading in the right direction,” said Fourth District Supervisor Curt Hagman. He, along with Fifth District Supervisor Joe Baca, Jr., serves on the County Homelessness Ad Hoc Committee.

Baca Jr. emphasized the county's commitment to addressing homelessness, highlighting investments in projects like Kern Street and Pacific Village, which provide crucial services such as substance use treatment and recuperative care beds. “The County of San Bernardino is taking significant strides to address this issue head-on,” he said. “These efforts are crucial for improving the health and well-being of our community.”

Applications for $5,000 Grants Opening June 15 for Restaurants & Caterers in IE, LA, OC Comunity News

T

he California Restaurant Foundation (CRF), a nonprofit focused on investing in and empowering California restaurants and their workforce, has proudly partnered with California’s energy companies to launch the fourth consecutive Restaurants Care® Resilience Fund. Thanks to the generosity of SoCalGas, The PG&E Corporation Foundation (PG&E Foundation) and San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E), CRF will award $5,000 grants to 278 independent business owners across California. For the first time, commercial caterers are eligible to apply, in addition to independent restaurant owners.

“Our decision to open applications to commercial caterers came after hearing countless stories from catering businesses asking for support, as they too

are an essential part of any local food scene,” said Alycia Harshfield, Executive Director of CRF. “The foundation, along with our generous partners, proudly continue our Resilience Fund efforts year after year to ensure California’s independent restauranteurs and food business owners remain an integral part of our state’s vibrant dining community and economy for decades to come.”

Resilience Fund recipients can use the financial assistance to support vital business needs, including kitchen equipment upgrades, technology improvements, unforeseen hardships and employee training programs and retention bonuses.

By investing in these critical areas, restaurant owners and caterers can enhance operational efficiency, improve service quality and foster a more skilled

workforce. The Resilience Fund is thoughtfully designed not only to provide immediate relief, but also to ensure the longterm resilience and sustainability of California’s restaurant community.

Resilience Fund applications will be open from June 15 to June 30, 2024, and can be found at www.restaurantscare.org/resilience. Grants will be available to all California-based restaurant owners and commercial caterers within the utility companies' service areas, provided they operate fewer than five units and generate less than $3 million in annual revenue.

he Ontario Museum of History & Art (OMHA) and the Chaffey Community Museum of Art (CCMA) present their biennial joint exhibition, The Art of Healing.

Through commissions from contemporary artists and select artworks from the San Antonio Hospital Collection, the exhibition pays homage to local community institutions as well as influential medical figures, including the first Ontario woman doctor, Dr. Idris H.B. Gregory.

OMHA will showcase The Art of Healing: Holistic Expressions, and CCMA will present The Art of Healing: Highlights from the San Antonio Hospital Collection. The exhibition opens on Thursday, June 27, and closes on October 20, 2024. The museums will hold a community reception on Sunday, June 30, from 2 PM to 4 PM. “From Aguiluz’s unconventional fiber sculptures to Kao’s deeply personal, immersive installations and Silva’s dream-like murals, all these artists interpret the topic of healing through their artistic practice,” said Samantha

Herrera, Assistant Curator of Exhibits. “Their inventive designs and art-making processes extricate the inherent potential of the human mind and body to heal itself. In so doing, they offer alternatives to aid and challenge conventional medical interventions.”

The Art of Healing: Highlights from the San Antonio Hospital Collection, presented by CCMA will pay homage to the San Antonio Community Hospital located initially in North Ontario (now Upland). The exhibit includes works by Phil Dike and other significant artists living and working in the Pomona Valley.

The Ontario Museum of History & Art is located at 225 S. Euclid Avenue, Ontario, CA 91762.

The hours are Thursday and Friday, Noon to 4 PM, and Saturday and Sunday, 11 AM to 5 PM. Admission to the Museum and exhibit is free. To learn more about The Art of Healing visit, www.ontariomuseum.org.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

THE PETITION requests the decedent's WILL and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The WILL and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: 07/11/24 at 9:00AM in Dept. F2 located at 17780 ARROW BLVD., FONTANA, CA 92335 IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

San Bernardino/Highland Burger King Workers Struggle Post $20 Wage Hike: Fewer Hours, Higher Stress Revealed

By Nathanael Hernandez, IECN/SBVC Intern

T

he recent $20 wage increase for fast food workers has led to unexpected challenges, according to employees at a Highland-area Burger King in the Inland Empire.

Despite higher pay, workers report tougher conditions and fewer hours, raising questions about the effectiveness of the wage hike.

Joseph, a cashier at Burger King, shared his experience.

"The $20 wage bill only made life worse," he said. Although his hourly pay increased, his working hours were reduced.

"I often work alone after 8 p.m., handling both orders and food distribution," he explained.

Before the wage increase, at least two people would be working the front. Now, it's often just one, making the job more stressful, especially during busy times. Joseph expressed concern for his

co-workers, who have no other options but to continue working at Burger King.

A visit to the restaurant highlighted these challenges. An assistant manager was seen managing the front alone, handling a long line of cars, which took around 20 minutes.

Stress and understaffing were evident when she mistakenly thought a piece of her headset belonged to a customer, showcasing the pressure she was under. It was barely 9 p.m., and with four more cars behind, it was clear she had a long night ahead.

Victoria, an assistant manager, described feeling "dead inside" due to the increased workload.

"The only reason I work here is for my nephews," she said.

Another assistant manager, Mia, expressed regret over the wage raise. "I have to let workers go at specific times, like 8 p.m., even though the work isn't done," she explained. Mia noted that despite the wage increase, she earns the same amount of

money due to reduced hours.

Natalie, a cook, also described the impact of the wage increase.

"I'm more physically tired and stressed," she said. "Closing every day with less help and a tighter schedule is exhausting."

Natalie works to provide a better future for her child, but the increased pressure and reduced support make it challenging.

The wage increase has led corporations to cut staff, leaving remaining workers to manage increased workloads.

While some employees might make more money, the overall strain has left many, including assistant managers, questioning the benefits of the wage hike.

It’s evident based on this sample of insight from fast food workers that the $20hr wage increase has not improved conditions as expected. Instead, it has led to reduced hours, increased workloads, and widespread dissatisfaction among employees.
