Banola, who lives in Los Angeles County and works in San Bernardino, opted to stay at the hotel on April 29th to avoid the severe 5 PM rush hour traffic after a tiring day at work. He parked his vehicle at 2:15 PM and returned at 9:15 AM the next morning, shocked to find his vehicle sounding like "a racer car" when he attempted to start it. "I looked underneath and saw where the pipe was cut and wires were hanging," he recounted. "You can run

he surge in catalytic converter thefts in San Bernardino has claimed another victim. John Banola, a local community college professor, discovered his silver Honda Accord had been targeted while parked overnight at the Best Western San Bernardino, located at 258 E Redlands Blvd. The incident has sparked a broader conversation about the responsibilities of businesses in aiding

a vehicle that way, but legally you're not supposed to."

Upon discovering the theft, Banola promptly contacted the front desk at the hotel and subsequently reached out to the San Bernardino Police Department (SBPD). He was informed to file a police report online, which he did, but was told that due to the volume of cases, there was no immediate assurance of investigation.

Backpacks memorable experience for families," said Darious Harris, CEO and founder of NSG Impact. "We’re bringing in more vendors and offering services that will have a lasting impact on the community."

Children must be present to receive items, and while Eventbrite tickets are available, they do not guarantee service. All services and giveaways are on a first-come, first-served basis, and registration is required to receive items. Register at nsgimpact.eventbrite.com.

One poignant memory that fuels Harris’s dedication to this cause dates back to the inaugural Back to School Bash in 2020, held during the COVID-19 pandemic. Harris recalls a mother and her four children arriving at the event on bicycles, pushing strollers and carts amidst a line of vehicles. The family waited in line, determined to get backpacks for the children. "I felt like I was walking in my pas-

When Banola requested surveillance footage from the hotel to assist in the police report, he encountered significant hurdles. The hotel owner, Kal Solinka, sent photos that did not match Banola’s vehicle or the location it was parked.

"One photo Kal shared was of a vehicle that wasn't mine and parked in an area different from where my vehicle was parked," Banola explained.

Solinka's email to corporate and Banola included clear surveillance images, but he (Solinka) claims the video footage is too grainy to share, according to Banola.

Lieutenant Nicholas Oldendorf addressed these concerns at the Southern District Coffee with a Cop meeting held at Studio D on July 16, 2024.

"There is no responsibility for business owners to share surveillance footage," Oldendorf stated.

"It’s unfortunate when business owners are not cooperative, but if they don’t want to provide surveillance, we can issue a warrant and possibly issue a digital video recorder. We’d like to think the manager of a hotel would want to help its patrons."

Oldendorf highlighted the Chief of Police Darren Goodman's forthcoming initiative to develop a downtown camera system network. "Businesses could be part of a network and readily share their surveillance videos with us. That is going to be the future rather than us sending an officer out to gather the footage," he added. Oldendorf also mentioned the potential implementation of drone technology to mitigate similar issues.

Despite multiple attempts to engage Solinka directly and through corporate channels, Banola received limited assistance. His efforts included filing an incident report with corporate, which threatened fines if Solinka failed to respond within 2-5 days. Even direct confrontation between the two yielded dismissive responses from Solinka.

In response to inquiries from IECN, Solinka stated, "We are cooperating with local government officials and respectfully request you to direct questions to them. Thank you." The Best Western San Bernardino currently holds a 3.3-star rating on Google reviews, with many complaints citing a lack of parking spaces, poor customer service, and bugs.

Challenges in Revitalizing the Harris Building The Harris Building, a significant downtown landmark, remains a focal point in the city’s revitalization efforts. Oldendorf acknowledged the ongoing challenges, stating, “It’s been a struggle for the 20 years I’ve been here. The outside is nice, but the inside is rough.” He emphasized that more robust security measures would be implemented once the city fully acquires the building. Mayor Helen Tran added, “Yes, the acquisition is happening very soon, and as much as we want to, unfortunately, we can’t do much to further secure the building until we fully acquire it.”.

Oldendorf added, “It currently takes at least five or six officers and hours to clear the building.

We’d rather have those officers on the streets.” A fire in the Harris Building on July 8th, 2024, originating in a mechanical room on the upper level, raised concerns about the potential theft of materials such as copper. “Were people up there trying to steal copper? Probably,” Oldendorf remarked, highlighting the security challenges the building faces.

National Night Out The event also highlighted the forthcoming National Night Out on August 6, 2024, from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Roosevelt Bowl in Perris Hill Park. This annual event, aimed at fostering policecommunity partnerships, will feature hot dogs and soft drinks provided by the POA BBQ Team, games and entertainment for kids, and participation from various community partners including the San Bernardino County Fire Department, San Bernardino School Police Department, Probation, NAC, and 40King.

Summertime Eye Health Tips

Thomas Torrence, Four Decade Rialto Unified School District Employee, Passes Away at 86

By Archana Dubey, MD, Chief Medical Officer, UnitedHealthcare of California

E

ye health is an important factor in our overall well-being.

Yet 65.3% of California children don’t regularly see an eye doctor. With many kids out of school for the summer, screen time may add up quickly and potentially contribute to health issues, making it a great time to shine a spotlight on vision health.

That can include a focus on preventing or treating nearsightedness, also known as myopia, which can affect our ability to see far-away objects clearly. Importantly, childhood onset of myopia has been linked to a greater risk of developing serious eye diseases later in life, including cataracts and glaucoma.

Unfortunately, myopia is on the rise, affecting around 42% of all Americans, up significantly over the last few decades. By 2050, it is projected that 50% of people worldwide will be nearsighted.

In an increasingly digital world, it’s more important than ever to be aware of this growing issue and how to address it. This is especially true for kids. According to an international research study, children who spend most of their time on both a smartphone and a computer may have an 80% higher risk of developing myopia.

Here are some tips to support eye health for you and your family: Reduce excessive blue light exposure. Research is showing the potential health implications of excessive exposure to blue light, including disrupted sleep cycles and digital eye strain. Nearly 60% of U.S. adults report experiencing

symptoms of digital eye strain with Americans spending an average of 7 hours per day interacting with screens. Make sure to spend ample time outdoors, which research has shown may reduce the risk of nearsightedness.

Watch for warning signs of myopia.

Some common symptoms include far-away objects appearing blurry while close-by items are clear, squinting to see properly, eye strain and even headaches. For parents and caretakers, it’s important to remember that children may not know they have a vision problem, so pay attention to indicators like head tilting to read or watch TV, reduced performance at school or constant blinking.

Get a comprehensive eye exam and consider myopia management if needed. If you think you or a loved one may be experiencing vision issues or if you’re a frequent computer user, make sure to visit an eye doctor and get a comprehensive eye exam. These exams can detect health problems that a simple vision screening may miss. Ideally, kids should get annual comprehensive eye exams throughout their school years.

While eye doctors can’t cure myopia, they can prescribe eyeglasses or contact lenses to help you see clearly again. And if you or a family member is diagnosed with myopia, specialized treatment plans may help slow the progression.

Maintaining good eye health is an important step everyone can take to protect their overall well-being and may help prevent or slow the onset or progression of nearsightedness and other vision conditions.

Thomas Torrence, a dedicated and beloved employee of the Rialto Unified School District for over four decades, passed away on May 15, 2024, at the age of 86. He is now reunited in heaven with his late wife, Julie Torrence, who preceded him in death on June 20, 2018. The couple, formerly of Cherry Valley, are remembered fondly by family, friends, and colleagues.

Mr. Torrence's remarkable career with the Rialto Unified School District began in 1958 when he joined as a temporary summer painter.

His commitment and hard work led him to rise through the ranks, ultimately retiring as the Maintenance and Operations Manager after 41 years of dedicated service.

According to his family, Mr. Torrence was "a generous man beyond words, had a

servant’s heart, and was able to help so many. He will be truly missed."

Born in New Castle, Indiana, Thomas was the eldest child of Cecil and Dorothy Mae Torrence. At the age of 15, he moved with his family to San Bernardino, California. Throughout his life, he remained closely connected to his community and family. He is survived by his son, Jay Torrence (Lisa) of Cincinnati, Ohio; daughter-in-law, Lori Torrence of Highland; three stepchildren, Greg Hinshaw (Amy) of Prineville, Oregon, Cindy Saks (Jeff) of Highland, and Jeffery Hinshaw of Sisters, Oregon.

Thomas also leaves behind numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. He was preceded in death by his sons Greg Torrence and Bruce Torrence.

A celebration of Thomas's

life was held on Friday, July 12, 2024, at Trinity Church in Redlands, California. In a heartfelt tribute, the Rialto Unified School District Board of Education closed its public meeting on July 11, 2024, with a moment of silence and adjourned in his honor, expressing gratitude for his many years of service.

The family has requested that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to a charity of your choice that supports veterans, reflecting Thomas's enduring spirit of generosity and service.

The Rialto Unified School District extends its deepest condolences to the Torrence family during this time of loss. Thomas's legacy of dedication and kindness will be remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Op-Ed Maternal Health Care & Well-Being

By Michelle Singleton, Menifee resident

L

ast month marked the two-year anniversary of the Supreme Court’s majority opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization (2022), and I am reflecting on the rights and privileges I’ve had throughout my maternal journey. I feel tremendous joy in being a mother, but I also fear the rapid deterioration of my bodily autonomy. Moreover, I cannot find solace in my representative, Rep. Ken Calvert, given his long voting history in opposition to individual choice and liberty.

I had the privilege of being able to choose when I wanted to become a mother since I lived in a time when our Constitution protected the individual right to privacy and bodily autonomy. This constitutional right allowed me to excel in college and enter a professional career before my twenty-third birthday. I was able to dedicate my time and attention fully to my career and thrive, ultimately purchasing a brand-new home in Southern California before I turned thirty. I was able to make the decision to become a mother when I was financially ready.

Once I decided to become a mother, I had access to prenatal and postpartum care. Regular prenatal care doctor visits, preventive care, and infection screenings during my pregnancy, parenting classes, labor and delivery, postpartum care, and well-baby checkups were

all accessible at no cost because of the provisions in the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Due to the ACA’s coverage of breastfeeding services and supplies, including a double-electric breast pump, as well as the requirement for workplaces to provide time and a place for pumping, I was able to successfully breastfeed my baby for his entire first year of life. I also was quickly diagnosed and treated for postpartum depression. The Affordable Care Act allowed me to focus on my well-being and my baby’s without financial stress.

I was able to take sufficient time off work to allow my body to heal from the physical trauma of childbirth without fear of losing my job. Additionally, my husband and I were both able to be present and active in the first several crucial weeks of our child’s life due to state and federal protections like the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Emotionally, it was a rich time period of family bonding. Financially, it was a difficult time without comprehensive paid family leave. We were both able to return to our respective positions and pay due to FMLA. My second pregnancy resulted in a heartbreaking miscarriage. Even though this was an intended and wanted pregnancy, I needed access to abortion-related services to ensure my future well-being. With the United States having more maternal deaths than any other high-income country, it was critical that I had access to the healthcare I desperately needed. I am privileged to live in a state like California where there was and continues

to be access to inclusive reproductive healthcare. Many pregnant people in the United States no longer have this privilege of access following the 2022 Dobbs decision.

Working families, and mothers in particular, in my district do not have a champion in Congress fighting for their family’s financial well-being. Rep. Ken Calvert has repeatedly voted against the best interests of families like mine.

He voted against the Paycheck Fairness Act, which protects against gender discrimination in pay. He also voted against the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which provided economic relief for families. Additionally, Rep. Calvert opposed the Equality Act, which prohibits discrimination in education, employment, and housing based on sex. Furthermore, he voted against the Child Care Is Essential Act, which would have provided child care providers with the resources they needed during the pandemic to more effectively serve the families of essential workers. Rep. Calvert also voted against the PUMP for Nursing Mothers Act, which expanded workplace protections for nursing mothers.

Lastly, he voted against the Ensuring Access to Abortion Act of 2022, which would prohibit anyone from interfering in an individual’s ability to access reproductive healthcare services.

My family cannot afford Rep. Ken Calvert and his voting record.

SBCCD Appoints Dr. Cherina Betters, a Product of the Community College System, to Board of Trustees

By Manny Sandoval

T

he San Bernardino Community College District (SBCCD) has officially welcomed Dr. Cherina Betters to its Board of Trustees, following her appointment on June 13 and her swearing-in ceremony on July 11.

Dr. Betters, who will represent Area 7, succeeds Dr. Anne Viricel, who served on the board for nine years until her term ended on June 30. Area 7 encompasses Highland, Lake Arrowhead, nearby mountain communities, and neighborhoods surrounding the San Bernardino International Airport. Dr. Betters' appointment is to complete Dr. Viricel's term, with the seat up for election on November 5, 2024.

Senator Rosilicie Ochoa Bogh, who recognized Dr. Betters as the 2021 Woman of the Year in California’s 23rd Senate District, administered the oath of office.

The SBCCD Board of Trustees oversees the educational mission and sets policy for the district, which serves nearly 20,000 students through Crafton Hills College, San Bernardino Valley College, KVCR Public Media, and the Economic Development & Corporate Training Center.

Dr. Betters has been the Chief of Equity and Access at the San

Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools since 2020, where she established the Student Voice Advisory Council.

This initiative supports alternative education students who are potential community college or vocational school attendees post-graduation. She is also an adjunct professor at Cal State San Bernardino, teaching in the Teacher Education & Foundations and Educational Leadership & Technology departments.

Board Chair Dr. Stephanie Houston expressed enthusiasm about Dr. Betters joining the board, stating, “Dr. Betters brings a wealth of experience and a heartfelt commitment to educational equity that aligns perfectly with our district’s goals. We are excited about the fresh perspectives she will bring to our efforts in enhancing educational opportunities and outcomes for all our students.”

Dr. Betters' professional background includes roles as an administrator at San Jacinto Unified School District from 2018 to 2020 and as a teacher in the Yucaipa-Calimesa Joint Unified School District from 2004 to 2018. She earned her doctorate in educational leadership and administration from Cal State San Bernardino.

Dr. Betters is deeply connected to the region and is set to become the president of the Association of California School

Administrators Region 12. She also serves on the board of Santa Claus Incorporated, a nonprofit supporting vulnerable children in the Inland Empire for over 68 years, and is involved with Project Impact, a CSUSB advisory committee focused on diversifying the teaching profession. Additionally, she is an advisory committee member for First 5 of San Bernardino and the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s NextGen Information Exchange Committee.

“I am a product of the community college system,” said Dr. Betters, highlighting her deep connection to the mission and impact of community education. Dr. Betters is also a proud parent of six children and one grandchild. When asked about her vision for community colleges, she stated, “The purpose of community colleges is to influence and impact the trajectory of the lives, careers, and opportunities of the students they serve.” She views her role on the board as an extension of her lifelong commitment to education, aiming to be a change agent in the lives of students and the broader college community.

Meanwhile, SBCCD Trustee Area 5 remains vacant following the retirement of long-serving Trustee Gloria Macias Harrison, who stepped down on June 30.

Big Brothers Big Sisters OC & IE Celebrate Transformative Mentorship, 84% of Youth Report Improved Mental Health

By Manny Sandoval

O

ver 500 attendees gathered at the Santa Ana Zoo last week for the Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) Orange County & Inland Empire’s High School Bigs Summer Celebration, an event that showcased the profound impact of mentorship on local youth.

The event, held on July 12, celebrated the successful mentorships facilitated by BBBS, with special recognition given to stand out Bigs such as Adriana Sanchez and Gabriel Mendoza.

Adriana Sanchez has been a steadfast mentor to her Little, Penelope Martinez, for the past three years. Penelope, who is dyslexic, has received unwavering academic and emotional support from Adriana. Their bond has been mutually beneficial, with both gaining confidence and self-awareness through their journey together.

Gabriel Mendoza’s mentorship of Nelson, his Little, has also been a highlight of the program.

Initially hesitant, Nelson was won over by Gabriel’s persistent presence, academic support, positive attitude, and shared passion for soccer. The transformation in Nelson’s attitude and confidence led his guardian to enroll Nelson’s two siblings in the BBBS program as well.

The event underscored the pos-

itive outcomes of BBBS programming, with 84% of participating youth reporting improved mental health. This statistic highlights the organization’s success in fostering supportive and transformative relationships.

Held at the picturesque Santa Ana Zoo, the celebration brought together 430 Bigs, Littles, and BBBS leadership. The event featured an array of activities designed to promote collaboration and enjoyment, including zoo tours, arts and crafts, Jenga, bean bag tossing, photo booths, and a video game stimulation machine. Lunch was catered by Chick-fil-A, one of the event’s sponsors, alongside Color Me Face Painting, Gamer Overdrive, Kona Ice, and Pixster.

As the attendees enjoyed their day at the zoo, the stories of Adriana and Gabriel stood out as shining examples of the difference that dedicated mentors can make in the lives of young people. Their journeys of mutual growth and learning epitomize the mission of Big Brothers Big Sisters to create and support one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the promise and potential of youth.

Community Theater “To be, or not to be”: Crafton Hills College Theatre Arts to Stage “Hamlet” July 19 & 20 own sanity after he is visited by the ghost of his dead father and experiences other terrible events.

Community News

T

here’s nothing like Shakespeare in the summer, and Crafton Hills College (CHC) will celebrate the beloved playwright’s works with a July staging of an abridged version of “The Tragedy of Hamlet.”

“Hamlet” is William Shakespeare’s longest play.

CHC’s production of “Hamlet” will run for 2 hours and 30 minutes and will be set in the 1940s, a decision that easily fell in place during the early rehearsals, explained Director and CHC Professor of Theatre Arts Paul Jacques.

“The more we talked to the students about it, the more they got excited about the opportunity to do something different,” said Jacques. “In Shakespeare’s time, he didn’t care about when his plays were set, so once you get past that, it opens up a range of possibilities.”

The play tells the story of Prince Hamlet, who seeks revenge against his father's murderer, his uncle Claudius. Still reeling from King Hamlet's recent death, the prince begins struggling with his

CHC’s cast includes Roadrunners and students from local high schools: Redlands East Valley High School, Redlands High School, Yucaipa High School, and Beaumont High School. The idea of staging the play with actors around Hamlet’s age is not a coincidence, as this casting fits Shakespeare’s original intent of portraying the title character—a young man struggling to adapt to his new surroundings.

“Most Hamlets are 30 or 40 years old,” Jacques said. “So, it only made sense that Hamlet be college age and the people around him be college students.”

The play will run on July 19 and 20 at 8 p.m. and July 21 at 2 p.m. inside the Finkelstein Performing Arts Center.

Tickets are $10 for general admission or $5 for students and seniors. They can be purchased in advance at craftonhills.edu/tickets or at the door.

The 31st season will be launched with the west coast premiere of Robert J. Sherman’s musical “A Spoonful of Sherman” (October 12 – November 10, 2024).

This award-winning, longtime LifeHouse favorite continues to warm hearts while spreading festive holiday cheer.

The New Year brings the family fun of “Peter Pan” (January 11 – February 16, 2025). Join Wendy and her brothers on an astonishing musical tour of Neverland sparked by the irrepressible Peter Pan. With the help of the unpredictable Tinkerbell, the mysterious Tiger Lily, the impish Lost Boys, and the croc with a clock, Peter and Wendy lead a battle to thwart the evil plans of the notorious Captain Hook and his kooky crew. This smash hit returns with new surprises!

Next, the long-awaited return of “The Count of Monte Cristo” (March 1 - 30, 2025). Edmond Dantes’ future appears promising, but he is victimized by the former friends who plot against him. Can he escape unjust imprisonment and foil the plans of his evil enemies? Breathtaking action, suspense, romance, and comedy combine as Alexandre Dumas’ stunning classic novel storms the LifeHouse stage.

The dazzling musical comedy “Esther!” (April 12 – May 11, 2025) returns in spring. The biblical book of Esther explodes with rollicking hilarity as the evil Haman schemes to outwit bumbling King Xerxes for control of the Persian empire. With the help of her wise cousin Mordecai, Esther cleverly thwarts Haman’s plot through her inspiring faith and surprising

true events that change the course of history.

Next comes the fantasy favorite “The Wizard of Oz” (May 24 - June 29, 2025). Share the joy, fun, and adventure as Dorothy takes a musical trip “down that dusty road” in Kansas to the yellow brick road that leads to Oz. The beloved Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion are on hand to help face treacherous challenges, a wicked Witch, and a wily Wizard. All discover there truly is “no place like home” in this touching Inland Empire favorite.

A Broadway favorite comes to LifeHouse Theater for the first time with Meredith Willson’s “The Music Man” (July 12 – August 17, 2025). Traveling con man Harold Hill arrives in River City, ready to fleece unsuspecting locals with sales of uniforms and musical instruments as he falsely promises to start a band.

But the unexpected happens when Harold falls in love with librarian Marian Paroo. Will he experience a change of heart and ultimate redemption before it’s too late? This celebrated Broadway hit and classic film makes its LifeHouse Theater premiere!

The season concludes with “Jonah!” (August 30 – September 28, 2025), the new musical comedy by LifeHouse Theater founder and president Wayne R. Scott. The biblical account of Jonah is retold with a fun look at faith in this amusing new musical. The reluctant prophet’s foolish attempts to outrun God lead to hilarious misadventures. But amidst the mirth and mayhem is a whale of a lesson pointing to God’s redemptive grace—and timely reminders for today.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. 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 this 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 (866)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web site https://www.altisource.com/Logi nPage.aspx using the file number assigned to this case 202400435-CA. 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 Web site. 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, if conducted after January 1, 2021, pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you 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.

There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (877)518-5700, or visit this internet w e b s i t e https://www.realtybid.com/, using the file number assigned to this case 2024-00435-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid, by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code, so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. 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.

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 833-561-0243 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site WWW.SALES.BDFGROUP.COM for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 00000009926965.

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 Web site. 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 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. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 833-561-0243, or visit this internet website WWW.SALES.BDFGROUP.CO M using the file number assigned to this case 00000009926965 to find the date on which the trustee's sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee's sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee's sale. If you think you may qualify as an "eligible tenant buyer" or "eligible bidder," you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

nland Empire Health Plan (IEHP) and the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes are partnering to strike out roadblocks to vibrant health by co-hosting two health and wellness events during the 2024 baseball season.

The Grand Slam Health Jam is intended to open a pathway to better health by bringing social and care services directly to the community from 1 to 5 p.m., Sunday, July 21, and Aug. 11, at LoanMart Field, 8408 Rochester Ave., Rancho Cucamonga.

Services will include dental screenings, fluoride treatments and vaccinations, plus access to local organizations and nonprofits like Foothill Family Shelter, GeriSmiles Mobile Dental Hygiene Practice and the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health.

Admission is free.

“The event allows us to bring our mission, vision and values to life by reaching out to members in a vibrant, community-focused setting,” said Laura Acosta, IEHP’s director of community partnerships and engagement. “Our aim

is to make health care accessible and enjoyable by showing our commitment to your well-being.”

For the Quakes, it’s an opportunity for a double play: teamwork and dream work.

“This partnership is a reflection of the Quakes’ and IEHP’s mutual commitment to inspiring the community for nearly 30 years,” said Grant Riddle, executive vice president of the Quakes.

“For the team, that also includes inspiring fans and their families across the Inland Empire to stay healthy.”

monga is just minutes away from LoanMart Field, a natural progression for what both organizations hope to be a long-standing relationship.

In addition, both IEHP and the Quakes will provide free ballgame tickets at each Grand Slam Health Jam to guests who visit at least two participating vendor booths.

The giveaway will only be available during the events on July 21 and Aug. 11 and game vouchers are valid for the game following each Health Jam.

Rep. Pete Aguilar Announces $8.4 Million for Zero-Emission Buses to Reduce Air Pollution Community News

O

n July 11, Rep. Pete Aguilar announced $8,447,217 in federal funding for zero-emission buses in San Bernardino.

This funding will help Omnitrans purchase new battery-powered electric buses and charging equipment. The funding will also create job opportunities by supporting apprenticeships that train staff to maintain this new electrified fleet.

Heavy-duty vehicles disproportionately contribute to air pollution, which causes adverse health effects such as heart disease, stroke, asthma and some cancers.

The new electric buses will reduce pollution in the Inland Empire and improve health outcomes within the community.

According to the American Lung Asso-

ciation’s 2024 State of the Air study, San Bernardino has amongst the worst ozone pollution in the nation.

“I’m excited to announce that our community is receiving over $8 million in federal funding for zero-emission buses that will also create good-paying local jobs,” said Rep. Pete Aguilar. “By integrating more zero-emission buses into our fleet, we are making our air cleaner and improving our public transportation system.”

“Today, 117 communities, including San Bernardino, are receiving the good news that their transit buses are being modernized and their commutes improved through President Biden's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. “The Biden-Harris Administration is helping agencies across 47 states replace old buses running on dirty, expensive fuels

by delivering modern and zero-emission buses, manufactured by American workers, that will connect more people to where they need to go.”

solidated Appropriations Act of 2024 into law, which included nearly $1 million in federal funding for Omnitrans to acquire three new zero-emission buses.

“Omnitrans has prioritized enhancing air quality in our region since we introduced the nation’s first hybrid-electric transit bus in 2002,” said Omnitrans CEO/General Manager Erin Rogers.

This grant originates from the Department of Transportation (DOT)’s Lowand No-Emission Program, which provides federal grants for transit agencies to acquire low- to no-emission vehicles, make facility upgrades and buy supporting equipment for low- to no-emission vehicles. In 2021 Rep. Pete Aguilar helped passed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which allocated approximately $1.1 billion in Fiscal Year 2024 for this program.

“We are grateful for Representative Aguilar’s ongoing support in this effort to improve the quality of life in our community. In addition to furthering our zero emissions fleet goals via electric bus purchases, this funding provides us the opportunity to build the next generation of our workforce through the continued development of our successful apprenticeship program.”

Rep. Aguilar serves as Chair of the House Democratic Caucus and as a member of the House Committee on Appropriations.
