Director Troy Holland served as the event's emcee and paid special tribute to Dan Williams, the school’s former athletic director who recently retired. Williams, who attended the ceremony, was also honored with a ring.

The story of the Rialto High School cheer squad is one of perseverance and redemption. After placing second at the USA Spirit Nationals in 2023, the team welcomed back several key athletes who had previously stepped away from cheerleading.

“Taking second was a little disappointing, I’m sure,” Armenta said. “The ones who came back thought, ‘If I come back, I can do it. I can help the team.’ I had a feeling. We all had a feeling that if it was going to be any year, it was going to be this year. They all saw what we were able to accomplish. I think they saw that and were like, ‘Wow, I want to get back at it and I want to try to go for it.’ ” And they did.

During the ceremony, Irene Armenta delivered heartfelt remarks about each team member as they came up to receive their ring, highlighting their unique contributions and the teamwork that led to their success. Special recognition was given

to the 10 seniors who had been vital to the team’s success and graduated in June.

“The ceremony was a little bittersweet because I knew that this could be the last time we’d all be in the same room together,” Armenta stated. “I wanted them to feel that moment and have that sense of accomplishment.”

Co-Coach Liliana Armenta, who is Irene’s daughter and a member of the Knights' 2019 National Champion team, added her second national title ring. As a coach, she choreographed the team’s dance routine and stunts, pushing the team to adopt more advanced stunts, according to Irene.

Public Safety Man Arrested in Sacramento for Colton Homicide; Suspect to Face Trial in San Bernardino

By Manny Sandoval

A

suspect in the June 3 homicide of Brandon Moore, a 25-year-old resident of Colton, has been apprehended in Sacramento, authorities announced.

Yusuf Wilson Jr., 31, of San Bernardino, was arrested on July 23 without incident by a coalition of law enforcement agencies, including the Colton Police Department, San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, and the U.S. Marshal Service.

Anthony Tony Barrera August 22, 1955 – July 9, 2024 Lovingly called "Poppa T", “Grandpa”, “Uncle Tony” and "Bubba", Anthony, 68, died unexpectedly on July 9, 2024 from Cancer. He was a resident of San Bernardino, CA. He served in the US Army from 1972 -1975 in Germany. He was only 17 years old when he signed up. Anthony often told the story about how he always wanted to be a US Postman since he was a child. He fulfilled that endeavor as a mailman employed for 41 years and retired on 8/03/19. He also enjoyed his position as a Trustee for the NALC union for postal workers.

He enjoyed traveling, loved camping, golf, bowling, and baseball. Anthony was a total fan of the Packers football team. Listening to Patsy Cline music was a tradition for many years on every trip out to Bishop to fish with his friends. Every morning he used to say “Thank you Lord for blessing me with this new day.” He loved life. He was extremely kind and giving to all. Anthony would help anyone who asked or needed help, no matter the circumstance.

We loved him to the moon and back. There is no measure of how much he loved his family.

Anthony was preceded in death by his father, Tony C. Barrera; mother Elizabeth “Nena” Quehada; and his son Tony Jr. Anthony is survived by his 2 sons Michael and Chris, his daughter Melissa; Dolores Barrera; 6 grandchildren, Andrew, Brandon, and Madison Barrera, Louie and Antonio Gama, Gianna Sanchez and 1 great-grandbaby, Jordan.

His only sister, Darlene Carrillo, will miss him with all her heart.

They were extremely close.

He is also survived by Magdalena Alonzo and their 3 sons Eric, Vincent and Jason Alonzo; 14 grandchildren, Steven, Justin, Erica, Felicia, Sierra and JosephJoshua, Caleb, Jacob and GabrielVictoria, Carlie and Reese; 2 great granddaughters, Sophia and Zoe. Fond memories, love and peace Dearheart.

Services will be held at Preciado Funeral Home in San Bernardino on 8/2/24 at 10 am, followed by military service at Arlington Veterans Cemetery in Riverside at 2 pm. A Celebration of Life will take place on 8/3/24 from 4 to 8 pm at the Eagles Hall in San Bernardino.

The incident occurred around 10:45 PM on June 3, when Colton police responded to reports of a shooting near Fairway Drive & Sperry Drive.

Officers discovered Moore deceased inside a vehicle at an apartment complex located at 936 E. Fairway Drive. The Colton Police Department swiftly launched an investigation, identifying Wilson Jr. as the primary suspect.

Utilizing various investigative resources, authorities tracked Wilson Jr. to a residence in the 1800 block of Ethan Way in Sacramento. The collaborative effort led to his arrest and subsequent booking into the Sacramento County Jail. He will soon be transferred to San Bernardino County, where he will face charges related to Moore's murder.

The Colton Police Department continues to seek information

from anyone who may have witnessed the shooting or possesses relevant details. Individuals are encouraged to contact Corporal Roberta Valencia at (909) 370-5184 or Sergeant Shawn McFarland at (909) 370-5140. Anonymous tips can also be submitted via the WeTip hotline at 1-800-78CRIME or through their website.

This arrest marks a significant development in the case, offering a semblance of closure to the victim's family and the Colton community.

The investigation remains ongoing, and authorities urge the public to come forward with any additional information.

Board of Supervisors Proposes Protections for Law Enforcement Funding Community News

T

he Board of Supervisors today took a significant step toward ensuring consistent protection for San Bernardino County’s many unincorporated communities.

Supervisors voted unanimously to place the San Bernardino County Law Enforcement Staffing and Community Protection Act of 2024 on the Nov. 5 General Election ballot. If approved by a majority of voters, the act will establish a funding formula for law enforcement resources in unincorporated communities and make it difficult for future boards to reduce law enforcement funding.

“We went through an era, that actually still to some degree exists, of ‘defund the police.’ This

is an opportunity for us to communicate to our residents that we see, hear and understand that they would like to have minimum levels of staffing to ensure that we do have community protections,” said Board of Supervisors Chairman and Third District Supervisor Dawn Rowe.

The act would require the board to allocate a minimum amount of funding in its annual budget to fund patrol personnel’s direct salary and benefit costs for operations in the unincorporated areas of the county.

The minimum amount would be the average of actual patrol personnel salary and benefit costs in the unincorporated area of the county in the three preceding fiscal years.

The board could suspend the requirement for no more than 12

months only if it declares a fiscal emergency by at least a fourfifths vote. Funding during a fiscal emergency would not be factored into future three-year averages unless authorized by a five-fifths vote of the board.

The act would also ensure competitive compensation for the Sheriff and District Attorney by modernizing the formula used to set their base salaries.

The existing formula is based on the salaries paid in Kern, Riverside, Orange, San Diego and Ventura counties.

The act would delete Kern County and add Los Angeles County to the formula. The change would also apply to San Bernardino County’s AssessorRecorder-County Clerk and Auditor-Controller/Treasurer/Tax Collector.

Op-Ed No More Delays – South Coast Regulators Must Act on Rail Yard Pollution

By UCR Student Esmeralda Sanchez

I

have lived in the Inland Empire my whole life and it’s clear the impacts of our air quality and climate crisis aren’t just hypothetical for me and my community. We are already living with the impacts of our leaders' inaction on climate. Growing up in San Bernardino and going to school in Riverside, I have watched the boom of warehouses pop up in my community and with them the swarms of polluting freight trains and rail yards.

Rail yards are so common that it really is like the trains are in our backyards. We hear them rumble and smell the pollution from their diesel engines 24 hours a day, seven days a week as they crawl through our towns.

And it’s not just the trains that are impacting our communities, it’s the machinery and polluting trucks at these facilities as well. With the rise of e-commerce and warehouses, freight facilities create a network of harm to our communities that our local leaders have to address urgently.

I am 22 years old and already live with severe asthma and pulmonary inflammation, requiring me to see my doctor regularly to treat these conditions. It feels like

my airways just aren’t functioning the way they should, and I’ve been told that this is a direct result of breathing the air in my hometown and where I go to school in Riverside. I’ve watched my younger siblings suffer from consistent nosebleeds with no real solution. All the while, these major polluters continue to line their pockets with massive profits at the expense of our communities.

This summer we’ve had almost non-stop bad air quality days since the beginning of June. Combined with record-breaking heat waves, we are having to shoulder a dangerous combination of extreme heat and unhealthy air. We need strong action to cut dangerous air pollution and slash climate-harming emissions across our region.

I love my community but I worry I won’t be able to stay here because of the unhealthy air and the impact it has already had on me and my family. How can we maintain the health and wellbeing of ourselves and our families if the air we breathe keeps making us sick? If we don’t start implementing strong rules to clean up our air and polluters can continue to expand their harmful operations, I don’t know how far would be far enough to get away from this dangerous pollution.

I got involved with my local Sierra Club chapter to

help inform my community about this toxic pollution and how we can hold polluters accountable for the harm they’ve caused. For years the community has fought for strong rules that support a cleaner freight industry.

This summer, the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) has an opportunity to cut pollution from the rail yards and begin to hold polluters accountable by adopting the Rail Yard Indirect Source Rule (ISR). For too long regulators have let a massively profitable industry freely pollute our communities. In 2021, The SCAQMD adopted the Warehouse ISR that is already working to encourage warehouse operators to deploy clean technologies and hold those out of compliance accountable. The SCAQMD can build on this success and really begin to tackle the harm caused by freight facilities and keep goods moving in a cleaner way, by adopting the Rail Yard ISR this summer.

I want myself and my community to breathe healthy air, I want to be able to have a future that is not dictated by polluters. It’s time for the SCAQMD to adopt the Rail Yard ISR this summer.

Esmeralda Sanchez is a fourth-year student at the University of California, Riverside and intern with the Sierra Club’s Clean Transportation for All campaigns.

an Bernardino City Unified School District (SBCUSD) held a record-breaking, annual Back-toSchool Extravaganza (BTSE) July 24 at San Bernardino Valley College to help District families get ready for the start of the new school year.

There were more than 60 booths providing information and free school supplies.

Families could collect stamps from select SBCUSD booths on a special passport to get a free backpack for their school-aged children. Other SBCUSD booths offered free books, three-ring binders and other school supplies that students will need for the first day of school on Monday, Aug. 5.

“The Extravaganza provides our SBCUSD families with standard back-toschool items like backpacks, but it does so much more,” said Dr. Beatriz BarajasGonzalez, Director of Family Engagement, the department that organizes the yearly event. “We want the Extravaganza to provide families with important information on everything from the music and arts programs in our schools to the career

pathways available to our high school students. We also want our families to know there are many free and low-cost resources available to support the physical and mental health of the entire family, not just through SBCUSD but also through city and county programs and local nonprofits.”

One of the biggest community partners was the California Association of African American Superintendents and Administrators (CAAASA) and Power of Sight.

The organization set up an entire section to provide families with free vaccinations, sports physicals, eye exams and glasses.

A total of 55 community partners participated in the Extravaganza, including: IEHP (Inland Empire Health Plan) Costco Stronger Together Now Avva Dental Option House Inc.

Fontana Unified Celebrates Commitment to Conservation, Completion of Recycled Water Project

By Manny Sandoval

ontana Unified School District celebrated its commitment to conservation and mindful resource management with a ribbon-cutting ceremony held jointly with the Fontana Water Company on July 29 at Henry J. Kaiser High School to mark the completion of a reclaimed water project.

Six FUSD schools in the south end of Fontana: Canyon Crest, Oak Park, and Shadow Hills elementary schools; Chaparral Academy of Technology; Southridge Tech Middle School; and Kaiser High School connected their existing landscape irrigation water supply to recycled water, saving both the District and taxpayers money by drastically reducing water consumption. This move is one of

four eco-friendly initiatives in the District, including using electric buses, solar panels, and organic waste recycling at all FUSD sites.

more than 200 Fontana residences with water for one year, which amounts to approximately $190,000 in savings each year, Inbody said.

“One of the Fontana Unified Board goals we take very seriously is purposeful use of public resources and today’s project fulfills that goal perfectly. Not only does this project conserve water, but it leverages our taxpayers’ dollars,” Superintendent Miki R. Inbody said. “The switch to recycled water services not only benefits our playing fields and school grounds but also the broader, sustainable goals we have in our District, in our state, and our nation.”

Fontana Unified celebrated the completion of the project with a full morning of festivities, including performances from Kaiser High’s distinguished Catamount Pride Marching Band & Color Guard and Army Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps Color Guard. FUSD received more than $340,000 in grant funding from the Fontana Water Company ($140,000) and the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California ($200,000) to complete the project. T.E. Roberts, Inc., a Southern California company specializing in underground pipeline construction, undertook the project, which began in February 2024.

IECF Summit to Forge Unified Approach to Community Issues Through Vital Conditions Framework

PHOTO IECF

Community members at IECF’s 2023 Policy & Philanthropy Summit in Riverside.

By Manny Sandoval

T

he Inland Empire Community Foundation (IECF) is gearing up for its annual Policy & Philanthropy Summit, August 1-2 at the Riverside Convention Center. The event promises a focus on transformative community solutions, centering on the theme "Investing to Thrive."

This year’s summit will highlight the Vital Conditions Framework—a holistic approach that gained prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic and is endorsed by the CDC and various states.

The Vital Conditions Framework advocates for addressing interconnected community challenges in a comprehensive manner. "We can't just throw money at programs and work sector by sector," explained Graciela Moran, Manager of the

Office of Policy and Engagement at IECF. "For example, childcare issues are often linked with housing insecurity and the cost of living. The framework helps us think comprehensively and craft solutions that address multiple issues at once."

The summit, featuring a diverse lineup of speakers including state and local officials, community leaders, and subject matter experts, will depart from traditional conference formats.

"On Day 1, we'll learn about the Vital Conditions Framework. On Day 2, we'll co-create solutions in a session called 'Thriving in Practice,'" Moran detailed.

"This won't be a traditional sit-and-listen event. We’ll engage participants in table conversations, bringing microphones down to the audience to facilitate a dynamic dialogue."

A significant highlight of the summit will be the collaborative discussions among various sectors. "Day 2 will be a healing moment, considering all that's happening in our country," Moran emphasized. "We’ll have housing experts talking to climate advocates, environmental justice leaders conversing with immigrant justice organizers.

These groups don't get the chance to connect often, but here, they can merge their perspectives and create comprehensive solutions."

The theme "Investing to Thrive" was carefully selected to address the region's multifaceted challenges. "Our community faces complex issues, from housing to healthcare," Moran noted. "We aim to push the boundaries of traditional philanthropy and encourage investment in our cities and nonprofit organizations. This summit is about recognizing that every-

one deserves to thrive, not just survive."

One of the summit's key objectives is to establish a policy agenda rooted in the Vital Conditions Framework. "This is not just a one-off event; it's about building a movement," Moran asserted. "We want to know what the community needs and how we can use our resources to make a real impact."

IECF is committed to community engagement, making the summit accessible to the public, including students and residents. The event will feature panels, interactive discussions, and a concluding town hall focused on regional media and journalism. Attendees can expect an engaging experience designed to foster collaboration and inspire action.

Fontana City Council Extends Moratorium, Blocks Planned Parenthood; PPOSBC Responds with Flyover Protest

By Manny Sandoval

T

On July 23, 2024 the Fontana City Council voted to extend a controversial moratorium on new construction, effectively blocking Planned Parenthood of Orange and San Bernardino Counties (PPOSBC) from establishing a long-planned health center in the city. The decision to prolong the "urgency moratorium" for another year has drawn sharp criticism from PPOSBC, who argue that the move illegally obstructs their efforts to provide essential healthcare services.

PHOTO PLANNED PARENTHOOD

A Planned Parenthood Skybanner flying over Fontana City Hall on July 23, 2024 during the evening council meeting.

In response, PPOSBC issued a statement condemning the council's decision as a violation of constitutional rights. "The Fontana City Council has once again turned its back on the community," the statement reads. "By extending the moratorium, they are clearly infringing on citizens' rights to access reproductive care. These efforts are not motivated by concern for public health but rather by political ideology."

PPOSBC further criticized the council for yielding to a vocal antiabortion minority. "The City Council is capitulating to extremist groups that use intimidation and threats to bully Planned Parenthood supporters," the statement continued. "These groups are the same people who hold grotesque and inaccurate signs and use megaphones to yell obscenities at patients seeking basic care."

In a symbolic act of protest, PPOSBC orchestrated a flyover over Fontana City Hall during the council meeting, displaying a billboard that read, "Fontana Deserves High Quality Healthcare." The organization had initially planned an in-person protest but canceled it due to concerns over potential chaos from opposing groups.

PPOSBC argues that the new health center would offer vital services, including cancer screenings, STI testing and treatment, birth control, and abortion care, as well as providing sexual health education.

The center would also create multiple quality jobs for the community.

"However, the City Council is clearly too afraid of a vocal minority to take a stand for their citizens," PPOSBC asserted.

The organization vows to continue challenging the moratorium, emphasizing that Fontana residents deserve better healthcare and education. "We welcome every patient who walks through our doors, regardless of health insurance, immigration status, or ability to pay. Our entire medical team looks forward to someday welcoming patients to this health center and helping them live healthier, happier lives," the statement concluded.

The next hearing in PPOSBC's lawsuit against the City of Fontana is scheduled for August 25. The outcome could have significant implications for the provision of healthcare services in the region.

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 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 (866) 266-7512, or visit this internet website www.elitepostandpub.com, using the file number assigned to this case 23-67202 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.

Delays in FAFSA and California Dream Act Application Results in “Prompt Campaign” to Assist Immigrant Students Before August 31

By Growing Inland Achievement

Y

ajahira Young Tafolla, a 24-year-old first-generation college student from Pomona, California, faced unexpected obstacles this year in securing financial aid for her studies.

Tafolla, whose parents immigrated from Michoacan, Mexico when she was three, relies on the California Dream Act Application (CADAA) to fund her education. She initially attended Mt. San Antonio College before transferring to California State University, San Bernardino.

The process of applying for financial aid was particularly challenging this year, with delays and technical issues complicating the online forms.

These complications, stemming from the rollout of the FAFSA Simplification Act—a part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021—have left many students struggling. The act aimed to make federal student aid more accessible by simplifying the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form and expanding Pell Grant eligibility. However, technical glitches and restrictive policies have led to significant delays.

As of July 5, 2024, the Inland Empire reported 4,752 fewer FAFSA submissions compared to the same period last year, a 12.1% decrease, according to NCAN’s FAFSA Tracker. This decline has been felt acutely by immigrant students and those from mixed-status families, who often depend heavily on financial aid.

To address these issues, Growing Inland Achievement (GIA), the Cash4College (C4C) Re-

gional Coordinating Organization for the Inland Empire, has ramped up its support efforts.

GIA offers hundreds of financial aid workshops, live support through free online office hours, and outreach campaigns.

A recent $234,840 grant from the Educational Credit Management Corporation has enabled GIA to enhance these services through August 31, 2024.

“We’re currently hosting live office hours for support, running several digital campaigns, and publishing website resources in multiple languages to help inform Inland Empire students and families of financial aid opportunities,” said Jake Poore, GIA Director of Communications. GIA also launched IEsuccess.org, a website offering resources for college education exploration, including guides for financial aid applications and tools for college and career planning.

“When the community works together to provide the right resources and guidance for students, we can make a dramatic difference in their access to college,” added Sakrekoff, a GIA representative. “We are grateful Yajahira Young Tafolla is a student at CSUSB. for all our regional partners working collaboratively across sectors to support student success. Together, we can make a real difference for students like Yajahira in achieving their educational and career goals.” hower, Kennedy, Johnson, and

Team at Seattle’s Museum of Flight.

As a member of the team, Marquez, who hails from San Bernardino, contributed to the annual maintenance of the original Air Force One presidential jet and the restoration of several historic aircraft.

The museum's Aircraft Pavilion houses the Air Force One jet and a dozen other historic planes, which are exposed to Seattle's moist climate.

The detailing team has spent a decade restoring the paint and brightwork of these aircraft and has continued to maintain their appearance and protection.

The Air Force One jet, a Boeing 707-120 known as SAM 970, served Presidents Eisen-

Marquez's responsibilities also included polishing the all-aluminum fuselage and tail of a WWII B29 bomber, which had not been polished in years. "By the time we finished polishing it, it was like a mirror," Marquez said. Additionally, he detailed the WWII B17 "Flying Fortress" bomber, the first-ever Boeing 727, and a 1978 Concorde on loan from British Airways.

"This was my first year on the team, and it’s something I have aspired to as a member of the Detail Mafia," Marquez stated.

"It was a lot of fun, but more than anything, it is an important responsibility. It gives me a higher level of skill in terms of polishing paint and brightwork, which benefits my local customers."

The Air Force One Detailing Team is led by Renny Doyle of Detailing Success in Big Bear, California, who initiated the restoration of the plane 21 years ago. Over the years, the team has grown and developed expertise in handling multi-million-dollar museum projects, ensuring the preservation of the aircraft's historical value.

Marquez, certified by the International Detailing Association and Detailing Success, is also a member of the renowned Detail Mafia. He and other team members volunteer their time and expertise for these projects, selected annually by Doyle based on their skills and experience.

Known in the Rancho Cucamonga and San Bernardino areas as a veteran detailer and paint correction specialist, Marquez is also an authorized installer of durable ceramic coatings. His work with highend aircraft adds to his reputation as a highly sought-after detailer in the community.
