t has been a whirlwind journey from the streets of Rialto to the bright lights of international music for Bobby and IZ Avila, the Grammy-winning duo popularly known as The Avila Brothers.

Their recent chart-topper 'Glu,' performed

by Usher, added yet another feather to their already impressive catalog when it peaked at #1 on Billboard's Adult R&B Airplay Chart (and by the way, it's still at #1 for the

second consecutive week). Yet, amid their global success, the brothers have always retained sight of their roots, regularly channeling their hometown pride into uplifting the talent of the Inland Empire region.

"It's been a 38-year journey of hard work, resilience, and unwavering love for music," IZ Avila said, reflecting on their shared career. "Our goal is, and always has been, to bring wins back home to the Inland Empire. There's so much homegrown talent here, from Sammy Hagar and Kenny

Loggins to Hit Boy out of Riverside."

The brothers' connection with Usher is long-standing, stemming from their time touring band members since 2009 and producing his 2004 chart-topping Confessions album (yes, the one we all know of). Iz Avila reminisced about the genesis of 'Glu,' "Sean [Garret] took the initiative and felt it could be dope for Usher. Usher sang the record, loved it, and wanted to drop it as a teaser on Valentine's Day." Avila, cont. on next pg.

Principal during this tremendous achievement, and I congratulate the students and staff of Kolb for earning this prestigious national honor,” Urteaga said.

Urteaga was promoted from the school’s principal to a Lead Personnel Agent position in the RUSD earlier this year.

“I am very proud of the progress Kolb Middle School has shown over the past few years. We transformed the school culture and focused on academics while working through challenges like the pandemic. Kolb staff was determined to put student learning first. This hard work proved successful. We increased academics and attendance and lowered negative student behavior.

This transformation and focus on academics has earned Kolb Middle School both State and National Schools To Watch recognition.”

The honor puts Kolb Middle School in an exclusive club. According to a press release from the National Forum, each school was “selected by state leaders to serve as a model to mentor other schools because of its demonstrated social equity, developmental responsiveness, academic excellence, and innovative systems.”

Schools to Watch have strong leadership, teachers who work together to improve curriculum Avila

Their success, however, is more expansive than producing chart-topping hits. The duo's recent collaboration with Billy Ray Cyrus and Snoop Dogg, 'Hard Working Man,' is a heartfelt tribute to the frontlines and celebrates veterans, featuring key shots from IE's South Colton and Nashville, Tennessee.

Their ambitions go beyond music. The Avila Brothers are now turning their attention to fostering new talent. "Our focus in this chapter is to start developing younger talent. Artist development doesn't exist right now, and we're looking to craft a sound for them," Bobby Ross Avila said.

A testament to this mission is their investment in Mikey, an upcoming California native Mexican artist introduced to them by Baby Bash.

They believe Mikey has the potential to be an inspiration for Latino youth. "We feel brown kids can say, 'I wanna be like Mikey,'" Bobby added.

Behind all their accomplishments is the unyielding support of their mother, Clara Avila.

"Our mom is not only our inspiration, and she is the example of how to live life, celebrate holidays, and connect with family," Iz said, attributing their success to her.

The brothers are also acutely aware of the music industry's changing landscape. "It's important for guys like us to keep our fingers on the pulse and build new strategies, new audiences," Iz said. They are also champions for creators' rights in the industry. "The game for creators is simple, ownership. We are supposed to own what we create."

The Avila Brothers' story is a testament to their tenacity, unyielding love for music, and commitment to their roots.

As they continue to climb the ladder of success, they remain humble, attributing their success to hard work and dedication. The brothers reflect on their upbringing in Rialto fondly. "It was gritty, we didn't live in the best area, but it built our character," Bobby said.

With their sights set on cultivating the next generation of artists and bringing more wins back to their home turf, The Avila Brothers are indeed the hometown heroes of the Inland Empire.

"My brother and I have performed in front of

and instruction, and a commitment to continuous improvement that is based on supporting the whole child through social, emotional, and academic growth.

Rialto City Council Making Claims and Refuting Allegations Over Controversial Warehouse Approval Neighboring Frisbie Park: Re-print

a contentious warehouse project approved by the City Council in a narrow 3-2 vote on April 25th. The proposed warehouse, planned for the intersection of Pepper Avenue and the 210 freeway, is an area initially zoned for retail, commercial, and housing.

Still, the brothers continue to find comfort in the familiarity of their hometown. Favorite local spots, like Amapola Rico Taco in San Bernardino and Nickelodeon Pizza in Colton (the chorizo and avocado pizza, specifically), serve as nostalgic reminders of their roots.

The brothers, both graduates of Eisenhower High School, began their musical journey early on. "Before we were even teenagers, our dad had a vision for us. Bobby started playing keys at 4, and I started playing drums at 5," Iz recalled.

The Avila Brothers credit their success to a host of mentors and influences, one of whom was Jaymes Phelix, a family friend and a part of Andrae Crouch and the Disciples. "He was the one who poured into our cup at an early age and allowed me to produce and be who I was," Bobby fondly remembers.

Apart from their music, they attribute their cousin Richie (a Colton resident and photographer) with a passion for community service as a guiding light. "The heart of Richie is amazing, and he rallies around community service like no other in my family; he keeps his heart open and is rooted deep in Colton; it's inspiring to us," Iz proudly stated.

The brothers offer some sage advice to young, aspiring artists from their hometown and beyond. "Love what you do. Don't focus on prosperity or what may come financially. You're going to be a lonesome cowboy, but through loneliness, it will build strength and character," Bobby advises.

As they continue to create timeless music and nurture the talent of the future, The Avila Brothers remain beacons of perseverance and success, their journey a testament to their dedication and the rich talent that the Inland Empire has to offer.

It is clear that, despite their global accolades, their hearts will always be with their home in the Inland Empire and #1 on the Billboard charts (without the backing of a record label).

ardous health conditions in the area, particularly concerning the recently renovated and neighboring Frisbie Park, and increase the city's maintenance cost due to the wear and tear from increased trucking. "After city staff investigated all aspects of the industrial project, our planning commission recommended against it and said it's not in the best interest of the City of Rialto," Baca said.

Baca further criticizes Mayor Pro Tem Andy Carrizales and Planning Commissioner John Peukert for participating in the vote, citing potential conflicts of interest due to their close residential proximity to the proposed warehouse, claiming that Carrizales has a stake in ownership in the home he currently lives in. He also questions the project's economic benefit: "We don't know how many employees, tenants, or if it will even bring jobs."

The situation took a turn when Baca challenged the legality of the vote. "Rafael secured money for a certain organization out of Rancho Cucamonga, and Andy voted with a conflict of interest. It would have been a 2-2 vote if one had recused themselves," he asserted.

Defending his position, Carrizales dismissed Baca's allegations as being politically motivated. "Joe Baca is stirring up false allegations just to grow his own personal political influence... This is all about Joe Baca's personal advancements after the last 10 years of failed, embarrassing, and disastrous campaign runs," Carrizales retorted. He continued, "I sought legal advice regarding the vote on the Pepper Avenue warehouse, and I have no conflict of interest voting on that project. My motherin-law owns the property my family and I live in. Therefore, I have no conflict of interest or financial interest. I believe Baca is upset because the developer didn't give him a donation to the Joe Baca Foundation! The foundation that was paying all of his family mem-

bers until they were exposed; now that's a financial conflict of interest! I've told Baca if he believes that I am breaking the law or have some financial gain from this project to report me to the FPPC."

Mayor Deborah Robertson also voiced her opposition, sharing Baca's concerns about the warehouse's potential environmental and community impact. "I am opposed to projects that will affect our community's quality of life," Robertson stated. She also critiqued developer and applicant Tim Howard's attempt to amend the community's previously adopted plans for the area.

In a further complication, Robertson disclosed that Howard had proposed millions of dollars in donations to the Rialto Unified School District (RUSD), The National Latina Business Women's Association Inland Empire Chapter, and the Rialto Police Department (RPD). She suggested this was a strategic move to buy approval for the controversial project, asserting, "This community benefit thing has become a joke."

She ended the call by stating, "I want to be clear, I am not opposed to industrial development, but I am opposed to projects that will affect our community's quality of life in multiple ways."

Despite these claims, Councilmember Rafael Trujillo argued that the donations would significantly benefit the community. "I have no financial benefit or conflict of interest. My community stands to win, and I stand with working families. The National Latina Business Women's Association Inland Empire Chapter is a strong organization of women doing great things in the community... Why would any of my colleagues on the Rialto City Council target women of color who have shown—through their hard work—to be the backbone of the thriving local business community?" Trujillo questioned.

He continued by saying that he supports several organizations working across the community.

"In this case, the Executive Director is from Rialto and has numerous stories of accomplishments that were highlighted during Women's History Month at the Rialto City Council Meeting. This organization provides contract procurement and training for women of color, a space where micro business owners can grow, take their businesses out of their home, and establish contracts with public agencies."

While this conflict has taken the city by storm, and the council seemingly wants to do right by the community in their own way, two things are certain: 1.) Another warehouse is coming, and 2.)

We're stronger when we’re together and on the same page.

County updates community on equity accomplishments and plans

Community News

ehind-the-scenes work carried out by County leadership in partnership with the community is about to blossom into a series of equity-driven public initiatives designed to ensure minority communities can share in the well-being and prosperity promised to all county residents by the Countywide Vision.

“There is enough room for everybody to succeed,” Fifth District Supervisor Joe Baca, Jr. said during a June 22 update provided to more than 100 Black community leaders on the County’s equity efforts.

These efforts, inspired by action taken by the Board of Supervisors three years ago declaring racism as a public health crisis, resulted in the creation of a Countywide Vision Equity Element Group made up of 16 Black community organizations and the inclusion of equity as a guiding force within other vision element groups addressing public safety, education, wellness, housing, jobs and the economy, the environment, infrastructure, and water.

“We have an opportunity in this space unlike any other,” said County Chief Executive Officer Leonard X. Hernandez.

“I believe in this county the best things can grow… We are poised right now as an organization to push forward in a bold way, to push forward in a new way, and to push forward in a sustainable way to do things we’ve never done before.”

County Assistant Executive Officer Diana Alexander, who heads the County’s equity efforts, said groundwork carried out by the Equity Element Group and the County will soon result in:

Workshops to teach minority-run businesses and community organizations how to effectively compete for County contracts.

Building capacity within community organizations with the assistance of skilled young people supported by County funding.

Establishment of a County Equity Office led by a County Equity Officer.

Prioritization of investments in minority communities.

An Equity Cohort program within the County to ensure County departments think in terms of equity as they provide services to residents and businesses.

Contracting with a Black-owned communications firm to ensure minority communities are aware of the Equity Element Group and County’s efforts and has the opportunity to participate in programs and decision-making.

“We’ve been doing things behind the scenes and now we’re bringing it out,” Alexander said. “Please believe me when I say you will see change.”

The County’s declaration of racism as a public health crisis, the addition of equity as a Countywide Vision element and

the creation of the Equity Element Group came in the wake of the May 25, 2020, murder of George Floyd, a Black man, by a Minneapolis police officer, which is why efforts have initially focused on the Black community.

Alexander said the lessons learned and successes will be applied to eventually address the equity needs of all minority communities of color, gender, age, and disabilities.

SBCTA, Brightline West Awarded $25 Million for High Desert Stations as Rail Project Moves Closer

T

Community News

he San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA), in partnership with Brightline West, has been awarded a $25 million federal grant to build stations in Victor Valley and Hesperia for the much-anticipated high-speed rail line between Las Vegas and Rancho Cucamonga.

The grant, through the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) program, will fund the final design and construction of the two High Desert stations – both critical elements of the Brightline West rail project.

When finished, the $12 billion project will create America’s first true high-speed rail system spanning 218 miles. The fully electric, emission-free system between Las Vegas and the Rancho Cucamonga Metrolink station will offer a modern, efficient alternative between the High Desert and the East and West Valleys of San Bernardino County. The terminus in Rancho Cucamonga is significant due to its central location along Metrolink’s San Bernardino Line, the busiest commuter rail line in Southern California with connections to Los Angeles to the west and Redlands to the east.

Brightline West projects more than 11 million trips annually, removing 3 million cars every year from the road. In addition, it will eliminate more than 400,000 tons of carbon emissions each year. The project will generate more than 35,000 jobs during construction, including 10,000 union jobs and more than 1,000 permanent jobs to operate and maintain the system. Brightline West’s overall investment also includes more than $800 million in roadway improvements along the I-15 freeway.

“We are thrilled to receive a $25 million RAISE grant for the Victor Valley and Hesperia stations and are grateful for the overwhelming support of Senator Alex Padilla and our local Congressional delegation – Representatives Jay Obernolte and Pete Aguilar – in securing this critical funding. When complete, the Brightline project will be a game changer for our region, reducing commute times, increasing job opportunities and improving the quality of life for residents,” said Art Bishop, President of SBCTA and an Town Councilmember in Apple Valley, where the Victor Valley station will be located.

Dr. Raymond Wolfe, Executive Director of SBCTA, said the funding award for the Victor Valley and Hesperia stations paves the way for a larger grant sought by

Brightline West for the Las Vegas to Rancho Cucamonga project, which will improve access and connectivity across Southern California. “This will provide a direct link between the High Desert, Rancho Cucamonga, downtown Los Angeles and our own East Valley, reducing the need to rely on personal vehicles for daily commutes, improving air quality and closing the live-work gap for millions of people.

Along with other commuter projects either under way or under development, including the Arrow Line and the West Valley Connector bus rapid-transit system, Brightline West represents a cost-effective, 21st century solution to our region’s transportation challenges,” Wolfe said.

“This federal funding through the historic Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is a major step in expanding rail through the High Desert,” Senator Padilla said. “Connecting the future Brightline West corridor with Metrolink will help take cars off the road, reducing traffic congestion and emissions to create healthier air for communities throughout the region.”

“I’m proud to have worked alongside our San Bernardino County Transportation Authority to secure funding through the Department of Transportation to support the final design and construction of Brightline rail stations in Hesperia and Victor Valley. This high speed rail project will bring significant new economic activity into our community, boost local job availability, and help to alleviate traffic by linking the High Desert to Los Angeles and Las Vegas. I look forward to continuing to advocate for the completion of this project,” said Representative Obernolte (CA-23).

“Investing in our infrastructure not only creates good-paying jobs, it keeps our communities connected and spurs economic growth,” said Representative Aguilar (CA30). “That’s why I’m proud to have helped secure over $117 million for Inland Empire transportation projects last year. I will continue working hand-in-glove with our local community partners to secure federal resources that improve the Inland Empire economy and raise the quality of life for our residents.”

“The High Desert stations are an integral component to our 218-mile system and will connect millions of residents with America’s first true high-speed rail system,” said Sarah Watterson, President of Brightline West. “We’re moving towards a groundbreaking later this year, kickstarting one of the largest job creators in the country and setting the stage for a new era in transportation. We are appreciative of our federal partners, the SBCTA and all those who support our system.”

By Manny Sandoval

ost teenagers only dream of sports fame, but it's become a reality for Caden Henderson, the 18-year-old Redlands High School graduate. A former Inland Empire Community News sports writer, Henderson is now an accomplished sports announcer for the Redlands United Football Club (FC).

Henderson's ascent into the sporting events limelight started early. At 12, he interviewed Los Angeles Angels' Center Fielder Mike Trout while rehabbing at the Inland Empire 66ers at San Manuel Stadium. That interaction sparked something in the young journalist, which eventually lit his path to where he is now.

Reflecting on her son's journey, Jill Ann Sheehan Henderson recollects, "At the time, we joked, where does he go from here? Does this mean he can retire now? But it seems the sporting universe had bigger plans for him."

Henderson is making waves with his distinctive play-by-play live broadcasts on YouTube and his energy and enthusiasm that ignites Redlands FC's home games. His unique style was evident during the late June game, which drew a record crowd of over 400 enthusiastic fans.

"Nothing beats announcing live in my hometown. The energy, the atmosphere, it's fun," said Henderson, who is excited about starting his studies at the University of Redlands’ Johnston Center this fall.

Ryan Whiley, the owner of Redlands FC, is equally enthusiastic about having Henderson on board. "It's our first season, but with Caden leading our play-by-play broadcasts, it feels like we've been doing this for years," said Whiley.

The Redlands FC has had an impressive run in the USL League 2, with three wins, two draws, and just one loss. With a division of about 120 across the country and a team composed primarily of local talents from Redlands, the future looks promising.

Jill couldn't be more proud, commenting, "University of Redlands’ Johnston Center allows students to shape their academic journeys, just as Caden is shaping his career on the field. He’s going to major in sports broadcasting and information."

Community News

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. 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. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-22-946481-BF. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an "eligible tenant buyer," you

•COLTON COURIER LEGAL ADVERTISING • Fax (909) 384-0406

can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an "eligible bidder," you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction.

TruEvolution’s Project Legacy Marks First-of-its-kind Supportive Housing for Inland Empire LGBTQ+ Youth & Veterans Experiencing Homelessness

n a significant stride for California's underserved communities, a congregation of esteemed state officials and nearly three hundred local leaders joined hands with TruEvolution on Friday to inaugurate Project Legacy. This pioneering endeavor marks the state's first and only Homekey site dedicated to supportive housing for homeless LGBTQ+, HIV+ youth, and veterans.

Lourdes Castro Ramirez, California's Secretary of the Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency, chaired the grand opening event alongside Senator Susan Talamantes Eggman, the Chair of the California Legislative LGBTQ Caucus. Together with Caucus members Senator Caroline Menjivar, Assemblymember Sabrina Cervantes, and Assemblymember Corey Jackson, they stood shoulder to shoulder with Riverside County Supervisor Karen Spiegel, Riverside Mayor Patricia Lock Dawson, and TruEvolution's CEO Gabriel Maldonado.

"We embarked on this project amid the pandemic in a state of emergency," said Gabriel Maldonado, CEO of TruEvolution. "Our initial approach was to repurpose existing houses. But we soon realized that what we needed was a holistic living space. A place where wellness, fitness, nutrition, social services, mental health, and healthcare could all be co-located to provide comprehensive support for this community."

Project Legacy, situated in downtown Riverside, stands as a beacon of hope for the state's LGBTQ+ marginalized community, providing a safe haven that moves beyond mere accommodation. Its design includes:

Forty-nine beds for transitional housing.

An overnight housing manager's quarters.

An on-site primary and specialty health services center.

A mental health clinic.

A job training center.

A fitness center.

Even a community garden.

"Wrap-around services are crucial for every community," Assembly Majority Leader Eloise Gomez Reyes emphasized. "Gabriel Maldonado and his team have left no stone unturned in ensuring our youth have access to every service they need. This isn't just a shelter; it's a home."

Impressed by TruEvolution's personcentered approach, Secretary Ramirez praised the project's alignment with Governor Newsom's vision of providing resources and support to local communities, helping them address their unique housing challenges. "When the pandemic hit in 2020, we were deeply concerned about its impact on our most vulnerable residents," she recalled.

"That concern led to the birth of the Home Key model, an innovative solution to create permanent, safe, affordable housing that meets the comprehensive needs of individuals who have experienced long-term homelessness."

In 2021, homelessness among LGBTQ+ youth in California was alarmingly disproportionate, representing 40% of the homeless youth population, despite making up only 5-7% of the overall youth population. Moreover, studies have shown that 1 in 3 foster kids identify as LGBTQ+, further exacerbating their risk of homelessness and mental health issues.

for the project, echoed this sentiment.

"This facility is not just the first of its kind in the Inland Empire but a transformative beacon that will be scaled across the state. It's not just about providing beds; it's about offering healthcare, mental health support, and career services in a state-of-the-art facility that will truly transform lives."

As the country commemorates LGBTQ+ Pride Month, the inauguration of Project Legacy is a timely reminder of the necessity for targeted, comprehensive initiatives to support marginalized communities.

State Senator Caroline Menjivar, from the 20th district, summed up the importance of this moment, saying, "I drove two hours from Los Angeles to be here for this momentous grand opening.

LGBTQ+ seniors are among the populations most vulnerable to homelessness.

As a lesbian, I'm determined to return this success to my district. Our people are at risk of sexual harassment, mental health problems, and homelessness.

Project Legacy is the comprehensive solution we need in my district."

Project Legacy not only answers an immediate crisis but also illuminates a path forward. It confronts the stark reality of homelessness and health disparities faced by the LGBTQ+, HIV+ youth, and veterans, delivering an innovative model for supportive housing that can be replicated throughout California and, potentially, the nation.

CEO Maldonado reflected on the project's early successes, explaining, "We've already moved 17 residents in, and we're seeing that not every individual needs the same amount of support or the same amount of time spent here.

Some people may need an extended period of stability to save for a move into

permanent housing. Others need less time but more intensive services. We're committed to understanding and responding to these diverse needs to prevent our residents from slipping back into disparity and homelessness."

The impact of Project Legacy's groundbreaking model will be closely monitored, as it may provide crucial insights into more effective strategies for tackling homelessness. It provides hope for vulnerable Californians who have been hit the hardest.

"The unique aspect of Project Legacy is the community it creates," Maldonado added. "This isn't just about providing a roof over their heads. It's about fostering a sense of belonging, a sense of home.

The community lives here, and this is a home for everyone who needs it."

As California marks the end of Pride Month, Project Legacy is a shining symbol of a new approach to addressing homelessness and health disparities among some of its most vulnerable residents. It offers a testament to what can be achieved when state, local leaders, and community organizations unite to effect positive change. It is more than a housing project; it is a legacy of commitment to community, inclusivity, and the belief that everyone deserves a safe place to call home.

As Project Legacy begins its journey, it already provides a transformative blueprint for other states to follow, proving that when we prioritize compassion and comprehensive support, lives can be changed for the better. This initiative underscores a simple, powerful message: Everyone deserves a home and a community.
