According to a report from the California Department of Aging, a significant number of seniors in the state live on fixed incomes, making it challenging to afford essential items like walkers, bedside commodes, and crutches. The cost of these aids can range from $50 to $300, a price tag that is often out of reach for many.

San Bernardino City Council Approves $5.7M for Aggressive Downtown Economic Development, Elevating Small Businesses & Safety

I

By Manny Sandoval

n a decisive move to reinvigorate the city's downtown area, the San Bernardino City Council unanimously approved a $5.7 million budget for economic development additions and improvements on September 12, 2023. The comprehensive plan includes hiring more police for downtown, social service workers, park positions, and creating new roles to support local businesses.

David Friedman, co-owner of Realicore and Viva La Boba, emphasized the importance of supporting local businesses. "For instance, in downtown Redlands on State Street, those small businesses bring in 6X the tax revenue than Mountain Grove and Citrus Plaza Shopping Centers. Small businesses keep our cities alive," Friedman said. He further highlighted the difference between local and chain businesses, noting, "If you support a local business, that money stays in our community."

The city's new initiatives include:

1. A business retention economic development employee who will liaise with small businesses to understand and support their specific needs.

2. A business outreach position to help small businesses expand.

3. Hiring additional police for downtown to enhance safety and cleanliness.

4. Engaging more social service workers and park positions to ensure parks are clean and free from after-hour activities.

5. Hiring two consultants each for federal and

state lobbying efforts to bring significant funds for the city.

Friedman also discussed the collaborative approach between the new police hires and social workers. "They'll work with businesses and residents and identify the unique issues we face downtown. It's a softer touch but a proactive approach."

The Economic Development Advisory Ad Hoc Sub-Committee, established to examine significant projects and provide recommendations, will play a pivotal role in these revitalization efforts.

This sub-committee, comprising three members of the City Council, will focus on the downtown core for at most twelve months.

Interim City Manager Charles McNeely shared his vision for the city's economic development.

"We are redoing the business permitting process, making it easy and attractive for businesses to set up here," McNeely said. He emphasized the importance of proactively recruiting businesses and understanding their needs. "Our businesses are our greatest local ambassadors," he added.

McNeely concluded by saying, "Also, the council's unwavering commitment to economic development is commendable. Their vision and dedication are the driving forces behind these transformative initiatives. I wholeheartedly give them kudos for making this happen and aligning resources to realize our shared vision for San Bernardino."

With the council prioritizing economic development, San Bernardino is poised for a transformative phase, aiming to restore its downtown area to its former prominence and ensure a brighter future for its residents and businesses.

By Manny Sandoval

n a grand event held on September 20th, 2023 at the Colton City Hall, the city's Recreation and Parks Commission spotlighted the accomplishments of local youth sports teams that have elevated the community's spirit and reputation.

The teams that were recognized include:

Nighthawks Carl Rimbaugh All Stars Pony Youth Soccer Tee Ball Ken Hubbs Little League

Supervisor Joe Baca Jr. and Councilman John Echevarria presented each team with a certificate of recognition, acknowledging their hard work, dedication, and contribution to

Colton's sports legacy.

The council chambers were abuzz with excitement as over 100 proud parents and families filled the room. The atmosphere was electric, with attendees eagerly awaiting the moment their child would step onto the Dias, receive their certificate, and shake hands with the city's leaders.

Colton has always had a robust sports following, and the recognition of these teams further cements the city's commitment to nurturing and celebrating local talent.

The dedication and perseverance of these young athletes have not only made their families proud but have also earned the admiration and respect of the local government and the broader community.

Colton Unites at Historic Woodrow Wilson Elementary: Over 40 Students Gifted Essential Supplies

By Manny Sandoval

n a heartwarming gesture of community support, the San Bernardino Loma Linda Crossroads Rotary, in collaboration with city officials, gifted over 40 students at the iconic Woodrow Wilson Elementary School with backpacks filled with essential school supplies on Friday, September 15th.

The event, held in the school's cafeteria, was marked by the presence of Colton's Mayor Frank Navarro, who expressed his admiration for the students.

“It’s a great day. We have something of value for you, as you offer so much every day that you’re in class," Navarro said.

He emphasized the importance of the day, "You’re the important ones."

The students' excitement was palpable. Upon hearing that the mayor was in their midst, they eagerly looked around, with some exclaiming, “The mayor is here! Which one is the mayor?”

Principal Dr. Cynthia Coello echoed the sentiment of the day, saying, “It's a very exciting day.

We have some important visitors. We have the superintendent here today, we have the mayor of Colton here, and we have some wonderful people helping to give you all an amazing backpack today.”

Dr. Manzoor Massey, Former Governor for Rotary International, D5330, inspired the students with a story of the Muso tree, drawing parallels between the tree's growth and the students' personal development. He emphasized the importance of laying strong foundations, respecting elders, and listening. In a rousing moment, Dr. Massey had the students shout in unison, “I have no limits, I accept no limits.”

Colton Joint Unified School District Superintendent Dr. Frank Miranda expressed his gratitude to Mayor Navarro and the Rotary for their initiative.

"I'm excited to be here. I want to thank our amazing Mayor Frank Navarro for putting this together," he said.

Woodrow Wilson Elementary, a staple in the South Colton community since 1938, has always been a beacon of education and community spirit. The event further solidified the bond between the school and the community, with students expressing their gratitude to the Rotary, the mayor, and the CJUSD staff.

As the city of Colton continues to grow and evolve, its commitment to education and community remains unwavering, ensuring that every student has the tools they need to succeed.

house fire on Monday, September 25, 2023, at 4:38 a.m., has left one person dead and another in grave condition in San Bernardino.

The San Bernardino County Fire Department responded to a call about a residential fire on the 500 block of West 14th Street, near West Magnolia & North "E" Street. The incident, Residential Structure Fire with Fatality (BDC 23-237974), saw initial 911 callers reporting a roof in flames.

Upon arrival, crews found a single-story home heavily engulfed. Challenges arose with downed power lines in

the front yard and metal-barred windows, but firefighters quickly gained access. There were reports of potential victims trapped inside.

"We faced immediate challenges with the downed power lines and barred windows, but our team's swift action ensured we could get inside as quickly as possible," said Mike McClintock, Battalion Chief/PIO.

LA Ar ea Tribal Leader s, Law Enforcement Lear n About New Tool to Stem Epidemic of Violence Against Missing and Murdered Native American Women

Violence against Native American people—and in particular against women and girls—is a persistent crisis facing tribes across the country. Indigenous women are currently victims of murder at rates more than 10 times the national average.

California, with more Native Americans than any other state, has the sixth highest death rate of indigenous women in urban areas, and crimes against Native American women are seven times less likely to be solved than any other demographic.

The new Feather Alert system will help law enforcement more quickly notify the public and produce leads to help find the missing individuals. Ramos has conducted three similar events over the past year in Fresno, San Bernardino and Mendocino Counties for the local tribes and law enforcement in those regions.

The Redlands Fire Department is teaming up with the National Fire Protection Association®, the official sponsor of Fire Prevention WeekTM, Oct. 8-12, to promote this year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign, “Cooking safety starts with YOU. Pay attention to fire preventionTM.” The campaign works to educate everyone about simple but important actions they can take when cooking to keep themselves and those around them safe.

According to NFPA, cooking is the leading cause of home fires and home fire injuries in the United States. Unattended cooking is the leading cause of cooking fires and deaths.

“Year after year, cooking remains the leading cause of home fires by far, accounting for half (49 percent) of all U.S. home fires,” said Lorraine Carli, vice president of outreach and advocacy at NFPA. “These numbers tell us that there is still much work to do when it comes to better educating the public about ways to stay safe when cooking.”

The Redlands Fire Department encourages all residents to embrace the 2023 Fire Prevention Week theme, “Cooking safety start with YOU.” Simple ways to promote cooking safety include:

• Watch what you heat. Always keep a close eye on what you are cooking. Set a timer to remind you that you are cooking.

• Turn pot handles toward the back of the stove. Always keep a lid nearby when cooking. If a small grease fire starts, slide the lid over the pan and turn off the burner.

• Have a “kid- and pet-free zone” of at least three feet around the stove or grill and anywhere else hot food or drink is prepared or carried.

To find out more about Fire Prevention Week programs and activities in Redlands please contact the Community Risk Reduction Division at (909) 798-7601 or fireprevention@cityofredlands.org.

CSUSB Exhibition Afróntalo’ Focuses on Mexico’s Afro-descendent Communities and Afro-descendant Latinos

Community News

isitors packed the Anthropology Museum on Sept. 21 at Cal State San Bernardino to mark the formal opening of the new exhibition, “Afróntalo,” which directs the focus on the often-underrepresented and overlooked history and culture of Mexico’s Afrodescendent communities.

“‘Afróntalo’ represents a unique and invaluable effort to shed light on the often-underrepresented narratives of the Costa Chica region in Oaxaca and Guerrero, Tamiahua in Veracruz, Coyolillo in Veracruz and Mascogos in Coahuila,” said Hazel Blackmore, the executive director of Mexico-United States Commission for Educational and Cultural Exchange (COMEXUS). “These communities have long held vibrant cultures and histories that deserve to be showcased and celebrated on the world stage.”

Those vibrant cultures are on display at the Anthropology Museum, located on the third floor of CSUSB’s College of Social and Behavioral Sciences, through June 19.

Visitors to the exhibition are greeted with art and objects and descriptive displays divided into two sections: one curated by representatives of four Afro-descendant communities in Mexico, and another presenting biographies and original portraits of 21 Afrolatine Californians.

And over both is a colorful mural, stretching about two stories high from floor to ceiling, painted by artist Julio “Honter” Antuna Lopez, depicting scenes related to the Afro-descendant communities.

“One in four Latin Americans has African ancestry,” the exhibition’s introductory panel states on a 10-foot tapestry crafted by CSUSB student Alessandro Corsaro that hangs at the museum entrance. “And yet, there is a general deficit of knowledge regarding the presence and prevalence of blackness throughout the Americas. This is more than a simple matter of obscurity. It is a problem of erasure, invisibility and dislocation.

Afróntalo introduces you to four communities in Mexico and twenty-one Californians, all in their own words, to explore the depth and breadth of Afrolatine histories, cultures and identities.”

The four communities that partnered with the Anthropology Museum to bring this exhibition to life are: Tamiahua (Veracruz state, lead curator Doris Careaga-Coleman), Coyolillo (Veracruz state, lead curator Daniela Carreto López), the Negros Mascogos (Coahuila state, lead curator Karla Rivera Tellez), and the Costa Chica region (Oaxaca and Guerrero states, lead curator Sergio Navarrete Pellicer).

All four curators attended the opening reception, which was highlighted by performances by Danza Afrobalele, led by López, and rappers La Cruda Mora. Both are affiliated with Centro Cultural Comunitario Casa Coyolillo (the Community Cultural Center of Coyolillo), better known as Casa Coyolillo.

Lead curators and their teams were trained in curation and exhibition development by María Fernanda Yáñez Uribe from Museo de Arte Popular in Mexico City.

Each curatorial team chose their own focus for the exhibition:

For Tamiahua, the focus is cuisine, cooking, fishing and connecting community traditions to Africa and other Afro-descendant communities in the Americas.

The Coyolillo portion focuses on the joys of the community and Blackness, highlighting life in the town, located in Veracruz, that has a rich Afro-descendant heritage.

For the Costa Chica community, the focal point is three Afro-descendant dances from the region, with props used in the Danza de la Tortuga (Dance of the Turtle), Danza de Vaqueros (Dance of the Cattle Herders) and Danza de los Diablos

(Dance of the Devils), lining one wall.

As for the Negros Mascogos, the exhibit follows the history of enslaved Afro-descendants who made their way to Mexico.

“As a Hispanic-Serving Institution, we are always eager to take advantage of opportunities to celebrate the histories, the cultures, present on our campus and in the larger world around us.

Hispanic Heritage Month is definitely one such occasion,” said CSUSB President Tomás D. Morales in his welcoming remarks.

The Afrolatine culture is a vibrant part of the Hispanic world, Morales said, pointing to his own Afro-descendant roots from Puerto Rico.

“This exhibit brings awareness, and provides acPHOTO CSUSB cess to those who view the exhibit, either in per- Doris Careaga-Coleman (right), lead curator for the Tamiahua section of son or virtually,” he said, announcing that by the Afróntalo, explains the African and Latino culinary heritage of the reend of the academic year, “Afróntalo” will have gion’s food. a permanent space online with a virtual exhibit developed by CSUSB’s office of Academic Technologies & Innovation.

And, to take advantage of the exhibition’s fall and spring run, Morales said, “I am committed to having as many school children come from San Bernardino, Riverside County, to learn about their roots, particularly those from Mexico and Latin America.”

The curators, Blackmore and Matthew Robinson, a program director for the U.S. Department of Education, credited Anthropology Museum director Arianna Huhn for bringing together the people and resources that became “Afróntalo.”

While Sept. 22 marked the opening of the exhibition, it also was a celebration of the more than two-year effort to develop it.

Robinson, who manages the Fullbright Hays Seminars Abroad Program, said the genesis of “Afróntalo,” can be traced to a four-week 2021 seminar, “Exploring African Heritage in Mexico,” organized by COMEXUS. He called the work and the resulting exhibition “exemplary … because although Dr. Huhn’s time abroad in Mexico for the seminar was just four weeks, the activities that stemmed from that experience continue two years later, with meaningful impacts that will continue to inspire and inform this and many other communities.”

While the main focus is the museum exhibit, the Anthropology Museum organized a slate of programs in the days leading to the opening of “Afróntalo,” with presentations for the campus community by representatives of the exhibition’s four partner communities.

And more are planned both on and off campus.

Visit the Anthropology Museum website for updates.

The exhibition has been made possible in part with grants from California Humanities, the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the U.S. Embassy in Mexico’s Understanding African Heritage in Mexico through Exchanges Fund, which funded the participation of the exhibition’s curatorial team from Mexico in the opening programs of Afróntalo.

San Bernardino County Receives Unprecedented $2 Million Grant from Assemblymember Reyes for Mental Health Facility Upgrades

n a significant move to bolster mental health services in San Bernardino County, the Wellspring Crisis Residential Treatment Center in Fontana has been awarded a $2 million grant.

The funding, championed by Assembly Majority Leader Emeritus Eloise Gómez Reyes, will be directed towards rehabilitating the facility, ensuring it meets licensing requirements and provides top-tier care for its residents.

The Wellspring Center, contracted by San Bernardino County's Department of Behavioral Health (DBH), is one of five crisis residential treatment facilities in the County. It is pivotal in providing care for individuals experiencing mental health crises, particularly those grappling with psychosis or at risk of self-harm. With the capacity to serve up to 16 residents at any given time and staff available around the clock, the center offers treatment to 100-120 residents annually. Notably, over 70% of these residents are either experiencing homelessness or are homeless.

L

"This is a great investment for our vulnerable populations, and it's important that we continue to assist those with mental health issues with the treatment and services they need," said Supervisor Joe Baca, Jr. "The ultimate goal for the County is that we expand bed capacity.

People don't realize many families are struggling and a significant portion of the homeless population in the County needs these services. The county board of supervisors is doing everything possible to address these critical issues."

The grant will primarily fund the replacement of the center's residential appliances with commercial-grade alternatives designed for high-volume use. Given the facility's high turnover, appliances such as stoves, dishwashers, refrigerators, washers, dryers, and microwaves have seen considerable wear.

“This project reflects our commitment to ensure that individuals in San Bernardino County receive the highest quality of care, especially in a residential environment that will serve as their home for up to 90 days while they are in the program receiving services,” said County Behavioral Health Director Georgina Yoshioka.

Assembly Majority Leader Eloise Gómez Reyes remarked, "What an honor to present a check for $2 million to the residents of San Bernardino County.

Knowing that there is a great need for high-quality mental health treatment facilities is vital. I appreciate that the supervisors brought this to my attention. So when we were putting together our budget, I knew where $2 million needed to go, and we could allocate it here. I'm pleased that 100-120 residents receive treatment on-site every year, and that's something to be proud of. I'm happy to partner with the County on this incredible initiative."

This grant underscores the County's commitment to enhancing the quality of care for residents and showcases the administration's unwavering support for behavioral health and overall resident wellness.

Para Limpiar El Aire en Inland Empire Se Necesita De La AB 126

By Community Advocate

a medida aumenta los recursos financieros para los programas que combaten la contaminación producida por los vehículos de transporte.

La sesión legislativa que acaba de terminar en Sacramento fue productiva en la elaboración y aprobación de medidas para limpiar el aire, especialmente en las comunidades de minoría de Inland Empire en donde se halla la peor contaminación ambiental.

Una cantidad de proyectos ambientales relacionados con el aire, el agua, el viento y transporte, todos ligados a la concreción de un medio ambiente limpio, que especialmente afecta al sur de California. Están a la espera de la promulgación del gobernador Newsom.

Cabe destacar entre ellas la AB 126 de la asambleísta Eloise Gómez Reyes y la senadora Lena González ya que tendrá un impacto directo en el aire que respiran los residentes de California, al contribuir a reducir la contaminación, producto directo de la emisión de camiones y vehículos de transporte.

La región del Inland Empire conoce muy bien ese problema. Es un centro neurálgico que alberga los inmensos depósitos de Amazon, Walmart, UPS y otros.

Esos corredores de mercancías y almacenes de la zona atraen diariamente a miles de camiones diésel que contribuyen a la peor contaminación por ozono y partículas del país.

Hay 4,000 almacenes que bordean la región y generan unos 600,000 viajes diarios de camiones, que producen la asombrosa cantidad de 50 millones de libras de dióxido de carbono, según CalMatters.

Un camino para lograr la limpieza tan necesaria es la AB126. La medida autorizará aproximadamente 170 millones de dólares anuales durante la próxima década en apoyo del Programa de Transporte Limpio de California.

Este es un aumento en el pago de tasas que, en concreto, financiará incentivos a vehículos de emisiones cero, cargadores de vehículos eléctricos y estaciones de servicio de hidrógeno a través del Programa de Mejora de la Calidad del Aire, el Programa de Transporte Limpio y el Programa de Modernización Mejorada de Flotas.

El común denominador de estos programas es promover un aire limpio y comunidades saludables, al tiempo que ayudan a más familias y pequeñas empresas a poder estar al alcance de vehículos limpios.

Estos programas también ayudan a retirar los coches más viejos y contaminantes, proporcionan apoyo para la compra de camiones de cero emisiones y la infraestructura necesaria -como los cargadores- para apoyar la transición.

La fuerza de la AB 126 es dar prioridad a la equidad exigiendo que la Comisión de Energía de California destine al menos el 50% de la financiación del Programa de Transporte Limpio a proyectos que beneficien directamente a las comunidades "desfavorecidas".

Los residentes del Inland Empire siguen de cerca el futuro de la AB126, el gobernador tiene hasta el 14 de octubre para firmar la ley. La medida es fundamental para seguir avanzando en la meta de limpiar el aire para las comunidades latina perjudicadas por el elevado tránsito de camiones. Es un financiamiento de programas importantísimos y complementarios.

Los legisladores hicieron su parte en continuar el camino hacia la energía renovable con la aprobación de los proyectos, ahora es el turno de Newsom de demostrar cuán real es su compromiso con el medio ambiente dando su visto bueno al paquete de leyes ambientales aprobada esta sesión.

Trustor: Manuel Medrano, A Married Man as His Sole And Separate Property Duly Appointed Trustee: Western Progressive, LLC Deed of Trust Recorded 09/29/2004 as Instrument No. 2004-0706830 in book --, page--- and of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of San Bernardino County, California, Date of Sale: 10/25/2023 at 01:00 PM Place of Sale: NEAR THE FRONT STEPS LEADING UP TO THE CITY OF CHINO CIVIC CENTER, 13220 CENTRAL AVENUE, CHINO, CA 91710

Deed of Trust with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, under the terms of said Deed of Trust, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $ 130,504.01.

Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt.

If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a written request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located.

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/l oginpage.aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2023-00051-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

Marching for IE Families: $22K Raised in Fight Against Childhood Cancer, '30 Gift Cards in 30 Days' Challenge Aiming to Amplify Momentum

n a heartwarming display of community support, over 1,000 registered walkers took to the streets on Sunday, September 24th, raising more than $22,000 for the Childhood Cancer Foundation of Southern California (CCFSC).

The annual event, held during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, saw participants march from the CCFSC headquarters on Mountain View Ave., located in the Clark's Grocery shopping center, to the courtyard between Loma Linda University Medical Center and the college campus.

The event celebrated the resilience of children battling cancer and recognized individuals and families who made notable contributions. Awards were presented to the most spirited family, the top donor, the youngest, and the oldest walker.

Founded in 1979 by a group of parents with children diagnosed with cancer, CCFSC, formerly known as Candlelighters, has been a beacon of hope for families in Southern California. The organization, which achieved non-profit status in 1981, now supports over 800 families, offering emotional, social, educational, and emergency assistance.

"Support begins at the moment of diagnosis and remains available through every stage of treatment and beyond," the foundation states. Since its inception, CCFSC has provided services to over 2,000 pa-

tients and their families.

However, the battle against childhood cancer is not just medical. Many families in California face severe financial hardships, often having to make painful decisions like selling their homes or cars to afford treatment. CCFSC has launched the "30 gift cards in 30 days" challenge to address this. This initiative seeks donations of $10 gift cards from food establishments or restaurants to support families during their child's treatment.

"Gift cards help to minimize some of the stressors our families experience during their stay. Donating $10 gift cards from local restaurants, coffee shops, or stores can help offset some of their expenses while giving them PERMISSION to step away. Together, we can make an impact, and together, we can help a family heal," says Julie Gonzalez, a 4800 Social Worker.

How to Help: Physical Gift Cards: Mail or drop off at CCF Office - 11155 Mountain View Ave, Suite 105, Loma Linda. Attn: Unit 4800.

E-Gift Cards: Email kids@ccfsocal.org with a note/message: Unit 4800.

Monetary Donations: Via Zelle at kidseccfsocal.org or Venmo at ccfsocal. Add note/message: Unit 4800.
