San Bernardino burglar caught on camera: linked to multiple sexual assaults

On February 22, 2022, a San Bernardino family had their apartment broken into but were able to catch the burglar thanks to surveillance cameras.

The burglar was identified as Anthony Andrew Cifuentes, who is found to be linked to multiple other crimes

The video shows Cifuentes squeezing through an open window and wandering throughout the house. He then steals a couple of pieces of jewelry before making his way to the living room and stares at a woman sleeping on the couch.

Miraculously, nobody was woken up by his actions, and he

proceeded to walk away.

His strange behavior caught on camera would be the key to bringing this man to justice.

This shows the moment that Anthony Cifuentes broke into the homeowner’s bedroom window and snuck his way in.

After an investigation of the

video by authorities, they were able to identify the burglar as Cifuentes and also linked him to various other crimes.

He’s also linked to a sexual assault case that took place on February 15, 2022, in San Bernardino. During this, he broke a kitchen window, forced

his way into the home and began to sexually assault the woman that was asleep in her bed.

On April 11, 2022, Anthony Cifuentes was found and arrested.

In addition to these crimes, authorities believe that Cifuentes is actually connected to even more cases within the San Bernardino area. If this is the case, he could be facing numerous other charges.

Cifuentes is currently awaiting trial for Rape, Assault with an intent to Commit Rape, and 2 counts of Burglary. If he is found guilty of all these charges, Cifuentes is facing life in prison.

These charges could be accompanied by more, as the San Bernardino Police Department is strongly urging anyone who has any evidence to contact them.

Heatwave felt throughout CSUSB

CSUSB students are forced to adapt the ways that they navigate their academic routines as temperatures remain above one-hundred degrees on campus.

California is amid a heatwave that CNN calls potentially “the worst in its history.” In the wake of such high temperatures, California faces a higher risk of forest fires and power outages. People are being made to put their lives on hold as temperatures climb dangerously high.

Cal State San Bernardino has not escaped the consequences of the heat wave.

Since returning for the semester,

temperatures have averaged around one hundred degrees Fahrenheit on campus.

As expected, contending with extreme temperatures has affected the way that students navigate the campus, both in terms of getting to and attending classes. Areas of the campus that tend to see the most foot traffic appear nearly deserted lately, with students merely passing through.

Walking around these areas, one is likely to overhear students passively complaining of the heat to a walking companion. It is not uncommon to observe a student carrying an umbrella, fan, or gallon of water.

Sophomore Viviana Armendariz expanded on how she has adapted to life on campus during the heatwave.

She prefers to stay indoors, and when she does venture outside, she takes a fan and an umbrella, “so that the sun doesn’t hit [her] as much.” She has also adapted the way she dresses, wearing her hair up and wearing skirts more often.

Even Armendariz, though explaining that her academic performance has not been affected, provided an open-ended answer, stating “not yet, not as of now.”

While there is no way of knowing just how much students’ attendance, and subsequently academic performance, has been affected, there is reason to be concerned about this sentiment becoming increasingly pervasive among students as the heat persists. If so, we could potentially see

a noticeable decrease in attendance.

Viviana Armendariz and the other student interviewed, however, offered a potential solution to the issues of student discomfort and a potential decrease in attendance: the campus could provide resources to improve conditions around campus.

Viviana suggests additional shade structures around campus and free water stops. The other student interviewed suggests having more consistent access to air conditioning around campus.

Whether such changes will be made is yet to be seen, but in the meantime, there are resources about how to safely handle heat and prevent heat illness available on the Cal State San Bernardino website.

Walkout at Local Amazon Warehouse in San Bernardino Airport

Inland Empire Amazon Workers United (IEAWU) is an organization devoted to getting safe work conditions, better pay and ending retaliation.

170 employees took part in the walkout at the San Bernardino International Airport facility, one of Amazon’s three U.S. “air hubs.”

This walkout comes just over a year after the fulfillment center was opened last March. Workers

organize as Amazon builds its largest warehouse ever in Ontario and Moreno Valley’s ONT 8 Amazon warehouse workers announces a union mobilization.

The petition was submitted during Amazon’s Prime Week in July, and after management refused to meet these requests, the workers organized and walked out.

The employees’ requests for better working conditions stem from working in unsafe temperatures, retaliation and an

overall lack of concern for safety.

“Health and safety is definitely an issue,” said Amazon employee Sara Fee. “A lot of my coworkers are injured,” she added.

Walkout participant and Amazon employee, Anna Ortega also shared similar concerns.

“Safety a lot of the time gets disregarded,” said Ortega.

Workers also expressed major concern about unsafe working conditions caused by excruciating heat.

Amazon Air Regional Air Hub acts as Southern California headquarters for a giant expansive air freight network where temperatures have reached at least 95 degrees or higher for 24 days in July, organizers said.

A report from KSBD workers in partnership with the Warehouse Workers Resource Center states “At one point, on Sept. 4, workers recorded a temperature of 121 degrees in an outdoor work area.”

Walkout at Local Amazon Warehouse in San Bernardino Airport

Warehouse workers from Amazon Air Regional Air Hub (KSBD) in San Bernardino staged a walkout on August 16 to protest in hopes of improving working conditions and increasing pay.

Workers also expressed major concern about unsafe working conditions caused by excruciating heat.

Inland Empire Amazon Workers United (IEAWU) is an organization devoted to getting safe work conditions, better pay and ending retaliation.

170 employees took part in the walkout at the San Bernardino International Airport facility, one of Amazon’s three U.S. “air hubs.”

Amazon Air Regional Air Hub acts as Southern California headquarters for a giant expansive air freight network where temperatures have reached at least 95 degrees or higher for 24 days in July, organizers said.

As for the push for a wage increase, warehouse sortation employees currently start at $17 an hour, but about 900 employees at San Bernardino airport have signed a petition exclaiming that base pay should increase by $5 to $22 per hour.

A CSUSB student was trying to find a parking spot in Lot N. The student was driving her white 2018 Volkswagen Jetta down row six, according to the police report, “the driver had been flagged down by a second student, who made the diver aware that smoke was coming out of the car.” Within moments the car was in flames.

Leading some to feel anxious for the safety of the driver and their own. Senior Lauren Price was on her way to class when she saw the pictures.

This walkout comes just over a year after the fulfillment center was opened last March. Workers organize as Amazon builds its largest warehouse ever in Ontario and Moreno Valley’s ONT 8 Amazon warehouse workers announces a union mobilization.

The petition was submitted during Amazon’s Prime Week in July, and after management refused to meet these requests, the workers organized and walked out.

The employees’ requests for better working conditions stem from working in unsafe temperatures, retaliation and an overall lack of concern for safety.

“Health and safety is definitely an issue,” said Amazon employee Sara Fee. “A lot of my coworkers are injured,” she added.

Walkout participant and Amazon employee, Anna Ortega also shared similar concerns.

“Safety a lot of the time gets disregarded,” said Ortega.

A report from KSBD workers in partnership with the Warehouse Workers Resource center states “At one point, on Sept. 4, workers recorded a temperature of 121 degrees in an outdoor work area.”

“Working in the heat feels like you are suffocating,” employee Melissa Ojeda said in the release. “You need to take breaks and you can overheat really easily. They don’t make it easy to take breaks to allow your body to cool down.”

After confronting higher management, Amazon constructed an additional rest area, but standards still remain unsafe “in many work areas,” in accordance with the statement.

After a study analyzing filings with the U.S Occupational Safety and Health Administration(OSHA), the Strategic Organizing Center found that Amazon employees were twice as likely to get seriously injured on the job, as opposed to other warehouse employees.

Part of the unsafe conditions is also the temperature in the building, as the facility felt the summer heat wave.

In a statement regarding Amazon’s current starting wage, Amazon Spokesman Paul Flannigan said that the company is proud to offer its warehouse workers a minimum starting wage of $17 an hour. Full-time employees, depending on the shift, can makeup to $19.25 hourly.Benefits the company offers to its full-time employees, include health care, a 401K and up to 20 weeks of paid parental leave.

However, workers stressed in the petition that their wages are simply inadequate to live in Southern California. “We can barely afford to live in today’s economy,” the warehouse workers’ petition said.

“Amazon could deliver a higher standard for workers, but they don’t,” said Sara Fee, who has worked at the facility since it opened back in March 2021. “A warehouse is just a warehouse. A company is just a company. The people are what makes it all work, and we are strong and united to fight for what we deserve.”

The walkout in August reverberates with the wider movement of labor-organizing operations at Amazon warehouses across the country. What happened here in the San Bernardino warehouse shares similarities to what occurred back in April with the warehouse employees in Staten Island, New York.

The JFK8 – Amazon Fulfillment Center voted to unionize as the ALU, marking the very first successful organizing effort in an Amazon facility in the U.S.’s history, thanks to about 8,300 workers on the voter registration.

ALU also brought out it’s resources in full force to Moreno Valley’s ONT 8 Amazon Warehouse. On September 9th, Alongside, Amazon workers in Bessemer, Alabama have also voted towards unionizing, though failed to win a majority.

Union organizing has officially hit San Bernardino, and the San Bernardino Air Regional Air Hub employees have something to fight and have hope for.

After the incident, the driver was visibly shaken and chose not to comment.

According to the CSUSB LE website, at approximately 2:06 pm the 911 call came in reporting the fire. CSUSB police responded and arrived on the scene at 2:10 pm.

Once on the scene, the police dealt with the large crowds of students. Crowds gathered at both ends of row six. While on scene an explosion was heard, it seemed to have come from the vehicle. In response, a faculty member took initiative and started directing the crowd on the west end of row six saying “ if this is not your car, you have to get back!”

The bang was also heard by student Joe Rjeily, who wrote on GroupMe “Car on fire. The gas tank blew up,” later adding “ I heard two explosions.”

Other students took it upon themselves to spread the news in person. Even interrupting classes that led to students rushing out. Cuitlahuac Diaz was in the Physical Science building room 101 when a student rushed in to tell the entire class.

”I was in class and another classmate came in saying a car was on fire in the parking lot. I thought it was a joke but then everyone got up and left,” Diaz said.

Pictures of the vehicle being

“Well, I thought it was obviously concerning and hoped the driver was okay. Also, I was concerned about a mass explosion with the fire happening in a very crowded parking lot. It also reminded me that I need to take care of my car and get a tune-up with oil, water, etc. Because this level of oppressive heat is a danger in many ways,” said Price.

Fortunately, no one was hurt in the fire. However, three other vehicles suffered heatrelated damage: “a 1998 white Jeep Wrangler, 2007 red GMC Canyon, and a 2015 Toyota Camry.

”The damage is mainly painted and plastic,” officer Gutierrez said.

The fire was put out by the San Bernardino fire department at 2:23 pm. The severe damage from the flames caused parts of the vehicle to melt off and what remained was towed away.

”The car tires had melted off,” said officer Gutierrez. The cause of the fire is currently unknown. However, this is not the first time a Volkswagen Jetta has mysteriously caught fire.

Currently, there is a recall on 2016 through 2018 Volkswagen Jettas. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on February 23rd, 2021 it became public that an issue with the vehicle’s fuel rail bolts “may become loose over time allowing fuel to leak causing a potential fire.” The recall estimates that 218,192 vehicles in the United States are affected.

“Well, I thought it was obviously concerning and hoped the driver was okay. Also, I was concerned about a mass explosion with the fire happening in a very crowded parking lot.”

At El Mercadito

LilyPopp

my Mexican culture to influence my work

During this two-hour event, I got to sit down and speak with a couple of vendors to bring insight into their small businesses. The first interaction I had was with Isabelle Rogriguez and her two associates Noah Cartzdafner and Isabelle Peña. Isabelle is a current student here at CSUSB graduating Spring of 2023 with a degree in Theatre Arts.

At El Mercadito, Isabelle brought a plethora of DIY goods to sell ranging from wallets, face masks, and cosmetic bags all handmade by her. “I draw inspiration from artists like Frida Kahlo and my Mexican culture to influence my work,” she says.

Isabelle recounts that she has been working on her custom artwork business for 5 years with the hopes of eventually becoming a fashion designer. She says to all those who would like to start a small business like hers, “I say just go for it, no idea is a bad idea, anything can be sold.” Isabelle’s work can be found and purchased on Instagram @Izzysews_ for those interested. Another vendor I had the opportunity to speak with was Julia Ruiz. Julia is a current student at CSUSB and a business major with a concentration in business management.

During the El Mercadito

event, Julia was selling custom clothing and accessories.

She says that she began making custom clothes and stickers after piquing an interest in graphic design. With the help of an embroidery machine, Ruiz puts her custom graphic designs on various pieces of clothing like shorts, hoodies, and hats as well as stickers.

She draws inspiration from her cultural background by including spanish artist in her designs such as Bad Bunny.

Julia, in regards to young proprietors, says “Focus on what makes you stand out in the market.” Customizable garments can be found on Julia’s online etsy shop @Juliathescorpio.

This event hosted by CSUSB and the LatinX Center is only one of many that are planned for this semester. If you did not get the chance to attend this month’s swap meet event, there are multiple chances to attend another.

The El Mercadito event will be hosted again in October and November. To register as a vendor or RSVP as an attendor you can visit the coyote connections website at https:// csusb.campuslabs.com/engage/ event/8150283. Come out and support the LatinX center as well as our own coyotes

Café Climbs A top Leaderboards

Nationwide Just Less Than 2 Years in Business

In just under 2 years, Lilypopp has exceeded expectations and has grown tremendously. This small business has focused on consistency and improve ment which has led them to being a community and nation favorite.

I sat down with Lily Popp Café owner Richie Chor and followed up with him since the pandemic start of his growth within his busi ness and what he’s contrib uted to get it here today.

Lilypopp Café was a pandemic business, it opened at such a tough time but that was not stopping owner Richie Chor of chasing his dreams. As we talked, we discussed roadblocks and what was mostly his biggest issue and what caused these issues for him and his business and to say, this issue was more on the positive side because of how much the people love these bagels and this shop.

The biggest roadblock I’d say for us is we have got very busy and having short staff slows us down a lot. We are new to the bagel industry so we’re figuring out and learning every day as we go, it’s been a blessing so far”. With so many businesses being short staffed, Richie and his business feel this way ever since this place has become must try as Yelp put out 2 releasing’s of Lilypopp being the #1 bagel business in the U.S. and Canada as well as #1 place to eat in all of Orange County. This came with lots of struggles as well as many days of happiness with what has come upon within this business in such a short time.

To be able to be so highly praised and loved by the community as well as those around the nation who visit is huge for a small business like Lilypopp Café.

To make some thing like this happen in such a short amount of time really takes a lot of hard work and dedication, the sky’s the limit for this business owner.

As time has gone on there has been lots of focus to creating that change and mas tering the “New York” style bagel craft.

In which Chor discussed “the biggest difference we’ve had since opening was that we have definitely improved with making the bagels consis tency along with running the shop better, as well as we have noticed many businesses’ making big orders with us for their companies”. These companies trust this business and love how they represent and love the com munity, there is so much ths business provides.

Yelp has been a huge step ping-stone to helping grow the business and has creat ed a lot of focus to get the customers what they want and leave them satisfied.

As Chor states, “These reviews and leaderboards have now created more focus on the customers and not the competition in the area because we know what we are capable of and know what the customers love us for which is the quality and care we show of putting them first”.

As for these bagels, they are much different from any other bagels you will try, the quality, texture, taste, etc., they are awe some.

These “New York” style bagels are boiled before baking them which creates that differed and much ap preciated texture and why the customers enjoy this shop so much.

This is definitely just the beginning, so much learn ing and much to grow and learn upon. Chor has many goals in mind in which that includes expanding his business and growing it within more locations.

“We do plan on opening another Lilypopp Café somewhere around the Anaheim Hills Area but not too far. Possible Fullerton, Irvine, or Anaheim. What ever comes our way, and the opportunity is right, we wouldn’t oppose to oth er locations too” as Chor states. The growth of this business has come from many long days and nights figuring out how to become better and how can expan sion happen in the future.

Lilypopp Café in such a short amount of time since the last time sitting down with Mr. Chor and discussing opening a small business during a pandemic has shown to me if you have a vision, anything is possible.

Lilypopp Café, Richie Chor, and the whole staff show why they led these lead erboards in such a small amount of time with much to learn, this is the beauty of running a small business. The future is bright for this man and his business.

New Sanctuary Complex For The Displaced

On Thursday, August 4, the city of Redlands held a ceremony kicking off the transformation of the former Good Nite Inn into 99 permanent housing units, as part of the city’s efforts to combat homelessness.

Redlands Mayor Paul Barich and the rest of the city council joined Shangri-La Industries in kicking off the new project.

This new collaborative effort was made possible through funding from California’s Homekey initiative funding which was established by Governor Newsom to rehabili tate buildings including hotels, motels, abandoned apartment buildings, tiny homes, and other properties by converting them into long-term housing units for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

California’s Homekey initia tive and Shangri-La Industries, LLC (SLI), Step Up on Second Street, Inc in partnership with the city of Redlands, will con vert the former Good Nite Inn into 99 permanent supportive housing for those experiencing homelessness or at risk of being homeless. This new partnership represents

the state and the city’s com mitment to combating this epidemic.

Homelessness has been something that California has struggled with for decades and has been trying to find a solu tion to the epidemic. There is no definitive answer to combat homelessness, but there are options that can help it.

The Homekey initiative and Shangri-La Industries seem to be the step in the right direction to give the homeless a place they can call home.

“This groundbreaking under scores the City’s strong com mitment to creating supportive housing for our unhoused

God Save The Queen

residents. Through Project Homekey, we will create new supportive housing units in our City,” said Mayor Barich.

“We are proud of this partner ship with Shangri-La Industries and Step Up on Second, and we are committed to welcoming home Redlands residents to the former Good Nite Inn where they can feel safe and support ed.”

“We congratulate the City of Redlands for developing partnerships and solutions to provide safe, stable housing for people exiting homeless ness in their community,” said Business Consumer Services and Housing Agency Secre

tary Lourdes Castro Ramírez.

“Strong collaboration with local government, housing and social service providers has led to successfully funding over 10,000 Homekey units across every part of our state, opening the doors to stable places for people to call home.”

The homelessness epidemic continues to grow daily as the cost of living has increased dramatically over the past decade resulting in more people becoming homeless in the state of California.

The 2022 Point in Time lists 184 individuals within the city of Redlands as homeless.

“Through Project Homekey and

video calls over the last months.

in partnership with co-develop er Shangri-La Construction, we can provide transformative sup portive services for our most vulnerable communities,” said Tod Lipka, Step Up’s President and CEO.

“Our properties provide a home for individuals experi encing chronic homelessness by supporting them with not only a roof over their heads, but the right support services and resources needed to rejoin our community.”

Shangri-La Industries’ commit ment, core focus, and passion are to deliver high-quality, cost-effective “living units” in which they have created and housed thousands of those in need. With California’s Home key initiative and the state’s strong desire to combat home lessness, the rehabilitation of buildings to support those who are homeless or at risk can only grow to other areas that are impacted the most.

California’s Homekey initiative is the first in the nation to offer a spending package directed at the rehabilitation and reuse of abandoned buildings converted into housing units for home less people or at-risk homeless individuals. According to the Homekey initiative’s website, 8,264 individuals have been housed from this initiative, with 5,911 units created and count ing.

Heat wave affects student performance at CSUSB

As expected, contending with extreme tempera tures has affected the way that students navigate the campus, both in terms of getting to and attending classes.

Areas of the campus that tend to see the most foot traffic appear nearly de serted lately, with students merely passing through.

Walking around these areas, one is likely to overhear students passively complaining of the heat to a walking companion. It is not uncommon to observe a student carrying an umbrella, fan, or gallon of water.

es, wearing her hair up and wearing skirts more often.

Another student, a soph omore, described similar experiences, with “how much [she] walk[s] around campus” and what she decides to do after class having changed. She de scribed another aspect of her experience, however, that will only become more prominent if the heat wave persists.

“Yes sometimes because I wont want to go to class” This is how she responded when asked if her academ ic performance has been affected by the heat.

On September 8th, 2022, the Royal Palace announced that Queen Elizabeth II died peace fully at her home in Balmoral, Scotland at the age of 96.

She was surrounded by family and loved ones after the doctors placed her under medical super vision after her health suddenly degrated earlier that day. Later that day Buckingham Palace announced her death.

“The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this eve ning and will return to London tomorrow.”

Queen Elizabeth II leaves behind the longest reigning monarchy in history to the hands of Charles, Prince of Wales, who will now be stepping up the throne under the regent name King Charles III. His coronation is still to be announced.

She had just celebrated her 70th anniversary of being on the throne and had recently appoint ed Prime Minister Liz Truss two days before her death, becoming the last Prime Minister to be appointed by Queen Elizabeth II.

The Queen had slowly lessened her public appearances over the last year after experiencing “episodic mobility problems” that led to her publicly appearing with a cane more often. i news reported that the Queen would only take part of lighter royal duties and carrying out more of her meetings and audiences over

The Queen’s most recent ap pearance during the appointment of her 15th Prime Minister Liz Truss raised concerns about the Queen’s health, as she appeared frail and using a cane inside her summer home in Balmoral. Two days after Buckingham Palace released a statement saying, “Following further evaluation this morning, The Queen’s doctors are concerned for Her Majesty’s health and have recommended she remain under medical supervision.”

The Queen’s sudden health degraded lead to the royal family members being called to join her in Balmoral, where she later pass that same day. King Charles III gave this statement following her death, “The death of my beloved Moth er, Her Majesty The Queen, is a moment of the greatest sadness for me and all members of my family.

We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished Sovereign and a much-loved Mother. I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world.

During this period of mourning and change, my family and I

will be comforted and sustained by our knowledge of the respect and deep affection in which The Queen was so widely held.”

King Charles III has already tak en up many of the Queen’s duties since he opened parliament for the first time in May 2022.

Many world leaders have paid tribute to the Queen.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau praise the queen saying, “Cana dians will always remember and cherish Her Majesty’s wisdom, compassion, and warmth.”

President Biden expressed in a statement

“We send our deepest condolenc es to the Royal Family, who are not only mourning their Queen, but their dear mother, grand mother, and great-grandmother.

Her legacy will loom large in the pages of British history, and in the story of our world.”

He has ordered flags to be at half-mast until the Queen’s funeral.

She is planned to be buried in the King George VI Memorial Chapel, according to i news along side, “father King George VI, mother the late Queen Mother, sister Princess Margaret and husband Prince Philip.” The details on the exact dates are yet to be announced by Buckingham Palace.

CSUSB students are forced to adapt the ways that they navigate their academic routines as temperatures remain above one-hundred degrees on campus.

California is amid a heatwave that CNN calls potentially “the worst in its history.”

In the wake of such high temperatures, California faces a high er risk for forest fires and power outages. People are being made

to put their lives on hold as temperatures climb danger ously high.

Cal State San Bernardino has not escaped the conse quences of the heat wave.

Since returning for the se mester, temperatures have averaged around one-hun dred degrees on campus.

Sophomore Viviana Ar mendariz expanded on how she has adapted to life on campus during the heat wave.

She prefers to stay indoors, and when she does venture outside, she takes a fan and an umbrella, “so that the sun doesn’t hit [her] as much.” She has also adapted the way she dress

Former CSUSB Student Receives Job at ABC Station in Oregon

Roldan attended California State University of San Bernardino from 2020 and graduated in May of 2022. She received a BA in Communications and she also minored in film.

In August of 2022, Roldan received some news that would change her life. She was informed that she acquired a job for Southern Oregon’s Channel 12 ABC news station.

She got hired as a producer for the news station. She explains, “I am responsible for getting the coverage ready for a show”. She provides the stories and the dynamic of the camera angles. “I get to create my own show” she continues.

She shares that she works with anchors and meteorologists of the news channel and proudly states, “Yes the anchors get to speak during the show but they are following the format I created”.Before landing her job with the news station in Oregon, she was struggling to find a job in her field. She had applied to

20 different companies such as Disneyland, Warner Bros, Sony, Sky Dance, Sea World, Legendary, Blumhouse and Universal etc.

Unfortunately, she kept receiving rejection after rejection from every company she applied to. “I was working a minimum wage job throughout this”. She

She had a few words for people who might be going

rejected by jobs. Post- Grad depression is often common when college students graduate. Not knowing where to start with job applicants, or having doubts about your future. Selena leaned towards her father for support and close friends to pull her out of it and remain productive towards her job search.

A recommendation that she has for people applying to jobs is to write down every single experience you have. Another tip from her was “ you have to be willing to start at a small market to gain experience and then make your way up”.

Having a linked in profile helped her stay motivated while being rejected. “You get to see people doing what you love”. Looking at people posting about their similar career paths to her dreams helped her stay motivated to never give up.

She has not been the only student to express such a sentiment, as walking around campus one is likely to overhear others com plaining of the exact same thought.

Even Viviana Armendariz, though explaining that her academic performance has not been affected, provid ed an open-ended answer, stating “not yet, not as of now.”

Working with people, being able to juggle stressful tasks at school, all of that is a great experience according to her.

Having a good group of supporters around you helps but Selena Roldan did deal with negativity from outside sources. But maintaining close to her support group and close friends helped. She did bring up the hardest part was staying at home sacrificing time with friends to work on applications and job searching. She recalls it being hard at times. Of course after graduation she wanted to spend more time with friends. But instead dedicated time on applying to jobs first and following up with her emails. After feeling discouraged for months Roldan kept her momentum strong by continuing her job searches both in state and out of state. She finally was given an opportunity for ABC KDRV Oregon as a producer.

“I know I’m not the first person to go through this and I know I certainly won’t be the last but people should take my story as motivation to never give up and keep chasing their dreams” she ends.

Behind the Cancellation of ‘Batgirl’

also a key part of The Flash, the upcoming movie starring embattled actor Ezra Miller that is due out in June 2023.

According to multiple sources, Keaton also filmed a scene for the upcoming Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom that test audiences found confusing, as it was unclear what Keaton’s Batman was doing in this universe.

Lost Kingdom previously was supposed to open before The Flash, which will explain Keaton’sreturn.

But last week, Aquaman star Jason Momoa revealed that Ben Affleck was filming a scene as Bruce Wayne, suggesting Keaton had been replaced with Affleck’s version of the character.

The Batgirl news comes ahead of Warner Bros. Discovery’s earnings call Thursday, with rumors swirling that Warners is considering moving the releasedates for two of its upcoming films — Shazam! Fury of the Gods (currently slated for Dec. 21) and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (currently set for March 17, 2023).

On Wednesday, the studio revealed an October 2024 date for the Joker sequel, Joker: Folie a Deux.

On Tuesday, Batgirl filmmakers Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah were in Morocco, where they had recentlycelebrated El Arbi’s wedding at a bash attended by guests such as their Bad Boys for Life star Will Smith.

In the afterglow of the happy occasion, they received the stunning news that their upcoming DC film Batgirl would be shelved, despite it being deep into postproduction ahead of a planned HBO Max bow. The filmmakers are said to have been given a heads-up shortly before articles circulated online.

“We are saddened and shocked by the news,” thefilmmakers wrote in a statement Wednesday. “As directors, it is critical that our work be shown to audiences, and while the film was far from finished, we wish that fans all overthe world would have the opportunity to see and embrace the final film themselves. Maybe one day they will insha’Allah.”

Batgirl was a casualty of new corporate strategy from Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav, who opted to shelve the project in order to take a tax write-down on the $90 million film, multiple sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.

The film had been greenlit for around $80 million under

former WarnerMedia CEO Jason Kilar,who also teed up multiple DC projects for HBO Max that would be budgeted more modestly than a theatrical DC offering. Its budget jumped to $90 million due to COVID-19 protocols.

Just a few months ago, Batgirl was seen as one of the more intriguing of the upcoming DC films. It hailed from the duo known as Adil & Bilall, who became hot commodities with Bad Boys for Life (2020) and continued to build excitement with well-received episodes of Disney+’s Ms. Marvel, released this summer.

Even Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige expressed interest in learning spoilers from the film. Batgirl was also seen as a win for representation, with Leslie Grace being the first Latina to front a DC Extended

Universe film,transgender actress Ivory Aquino playing a supporting role and Adil & Bilall bringing their unique background as Muslim, Belgian Moroccan filmmakers.

Plus, Michael Keaton was back as Batman.For a time, according to multiple sources, Warners considered pumping more money into Batgirl to beef it up into a 2023 theatrical release. Another source downplays the notion that a theatrical

upgrade was seriously in contention, as from the script stage it was conceived as a streaming play.

Either way, when a very early version of the film test screened, with temp VFX and score, it landed a score in the low 60s and is believed to have only tested once.

Film producers and executives have long noted that test screenings are best used to determine whether audiences are engaged or disengaged during certain parts of the film,not as a final judgment call on a movie.

For example, horror films that end up doing well have been known to test in the 60s. Batgirl’s test score, which was for a director’s cut, is comparable to scores for the first It(2017), which wound up grossing $700.3 million globally, as well as an early score for the upcoming Shazam! Fury of the Gods. Both of those films tested in the 60s.

Batgirl felt more modest than, say, The Batman — which had a production budget nearly $100 million more than Batgirl’s — with Glasgow, Scotland, filling in for Gotham City. Warners leadership under Zaslav feared it would not deliver the spectacle DC audiences are accustomed to.

Still, its smaller feel was baked intoits DNA, as Batgirl

was supposed to be the first in a number of smaller DC films. That strategy has been reversed. In May, Zaslav killed a DC Wonder Twins movie for HBO Max that was in preproduction, just weeks after Riverdale’s KJ Apa and 1883’s Isabel May had been cast in the lead roles. At a certain point, a source notes, it doesn’t make financial sense to spend $80 million or $90 million on a streaming movie, as it won’t necessarily attract more subscribers than, say, a $40 million movie. (In an earnings disclosure in April, HBO and its HBO Max streaming service counted 76.8 million combined global subscribers.)

Going forward, a streaming film will be made for a more modest number, “and if it’s for theatrical, it better feel theatrical,” notes a knowledgeable source.

The death of Batgirl also hints at a diminished role for Keaton going forward. The actor’s Dark Knight, who hadn’t been seen since 1992’s Batman Returns, was being positioned as akin to Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury in the Marvel Cinematic Universe — an elder statesman who could pop up in multiple films and offer guidance.

In Batgirl, he is said to have been at the center of a splashy action sequence. He is

While Batgirl was supposed to be a win for representation, the studio has another groundbreaking superhero project in the can. Just months after Grace was cast as Batgirl, Cobra Kai star Xolo Maridueña joined the DC universe as Blue Beetle — the fourthLatino actor cast in a DC movie that year (Colombian American actress Sasha Calle had been cast asSupergirl in The Flash, and West Side Story star Rachel Zegler previously joined Shazam! Fury of theGods).

Blue Beetle was originally developed for HBO Max before being upgraded to a theatrical release inDecember.

As soon as Batgirl was shelved, a number of tweets circulated asking the studio to save BlueBeetle. Among those who liked those tweets?

Angel Manuel Soto, the film’s director, underscoring the uncertainty Warners talent faces at this time.

As for Adil & Bilall, the duo say they are grateful for their time in the DC universe, praising their cast,“especially the great Leslie Grace, who portrayed Batgirl with so much passion, dedication and humanity.”

Added the directors: “It was a huge privilege and an honor to have been part of the DCEU, even if it was fora brief moment. Batgirl For Life.”

What Happened to Television?

previous format did not.

With the abundance of streaming services offered today, there is no need to have cable television. Having no cable television means our experience and relationship with television are forever changed.

While streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu, and HBO Max have their original shows, it is hard to interpret them as television when the majority of them can be seen as episodic movies. For instance, with the release of Stranger Things, the global phenomenon, with 4 seasons, almost all 8 episodes timed in around one hour and twenty minutes while the finale was approximately two hours and 19 minutes. This is the same length of a movie.

It can be argued that the birth of the binge model started with the release of Netflix; however, with the power of recording, this was a practice already brought to fruition. Netflix heightened the demand for the binge model. A prime example of this was the release of the critically acclaimed Orange is the New Black (2013). Within its freshman season, the show gained a massive

number of viewers and garnered an astonishing 12 Primetime Emmy nominations. The success of this show had convinced the producers that the binge model was the next big thing.

The model eventually seeped its way into other Netflix originals such as Stranger Things (2016), Ozark (2017), Bridgerton (2020), and many more. While this model has proven to be successful, it has hindered the way audiences perceive television. The principle that this model heavily works in tandem with is that everything should be faster and easier. This changes the authenticity of television. Before streaming, episodes of a certain show were released weekly on specific days, at a specific time, and on a specific channel.

This forced audiences to collectively experience their show in a real-time and value the importance of anticipation. The binge model ruins the way television is supposed to be watched. The medium is changed forever because of this model.

The traditional and reliable family sitcom is dead. Major networks such as NBC, CBS, or ABC went from having over 50 network television shows airing to only 5. The sitcom rose in popularity in the 1950s and continued to grow exponentially in the 20th century. Sitcoms often catered to a working-class audience with families. However, what beamed their popularity was their simple and easy-tounderstand plot points. It was a form of escapism for the whole family to enjoy.

The sad fact is that we no longer see this format in entertainment. Thanks to streaming services, people can watch their favorite shows on their own time. This still grants the feeling of escapism, but instead of it being for the collective it is for the individual.

Additionally, there has been a shift in the tone of television. The simple and easy-to-understand plot points are no longer desired by audiences. Now, people prefer to watch shows that deal with more complex topics with fully fleshedout characters. There has been an influx of dramas on television as opposed to comedies. And the main reason is that it is easier to write these fully fleshedout stories through a drama rather than a comedy. The sitcom rarely ever illustrates that; at least its

For a comedy, it is expected that the run should range from 22-30 minutes long. With the very little amount of time that is expected, I can see how it is challenging to write a complex story. However, that is the beauty of comedy, sometimes people just require and deserve a good laugh.

I am not saying that the shows that are offered on streaming services are not satisfactory or not worthy of being seen. What I am conveying is that the current format that streaming services utilize changes the way audiences view television. Having audiences sit through an 8-episode season run that ranges from 45 minutes to an hour per episode ruins the intended experience that television was made to do. Streaming services cater to more the individual rather than the collective. While it is important to consider that streaming has offered many more opportunities for inclusion, I feel the impact would be greater if the original format was still being used. Had the original format still been in practice, these stories would be able to reach a mass audience all at once.

CSUSB - Overcrowded with Limited Food

As fall semester begins, it seems CSUSB has not prepared for the overcrowding of students. With limited food options and time, students struggle between waiting in long lines or not eating before their next class.

With the closing of San Manuel South Student Union’s restaurant options as well as coyote markets on campus, student lines to order food and coffee are longer than ever. Limited food options are spread throughout the campus and students use up their entire break between classes to order a simple coffee.

As more students are appearing back on campus, it seems that the university is unprepared for their return. Many food options that were available prior to the covid pandemic are not available now. Students expected for the school to replace those now long gone food options, but it doesn’t seem that the conditions will change soon. Angel Nañez, a 4th year student confirms, “There are not enough food options available on campus. We only have like 4 places to go and there are around 20,000 students who attend csusb.”

The coyote market in the student union (south) and the global innovation center

have closed down and the only ones left are the newly renovated coyote market (south) and the one at the Howl & Growl, which are located across both ends of campus. However, the newly renovated Coyote Market does not have the same amount of food options as the Howl & Growl which makes it difficult for students whose classes are only located on one side of the campus.

With the campus only having a few options available, wait times are now longer than ever.

Alondra Zaragoza, a sophomore at CSUSB exclaims, “When ordering

my food, it usually takes up to 40 minutes which gives me barely enough time to eat. I am either eating in a rush or don’t get to eat my meal until after.”. Many students have been heard complaining about the recent wait times especially when they are running between classes.

Many students also notice how the workers are running around and how they seem stressed especially when a flood of students go in during rush hours. To clarify this, the morning supervisor and temporary manager of Einstein’s Bagels, Sean Wood states that although

the wait time in the lines are longer, the wait time for an order to come out is half if not less. Having said that, this isn’t the case for many of the other restaurants on campus. As Samantha Lucero, a junior student claims, “It usually depends on where I’m at to order food. Starbucks takes the longest, I have waited anywhere from 30-40 minutes just to order, however it takes another 15-20 minutes to get the actual order”. This emphasizes the way that students struggle with time in order to enjoy a meal.

As the numbers in students grow, so should the spaces that these restaurants take place in.

Sean Wood agrees that a bigger space would help benefit them but claims that it would be difficult to relocate since, “there are lots of challenges in finding a space to relocate in. Two-thirds of all of our products that are in freezers and refrigerators are on the other side of campus”.

Although this is an issue all on its own, it shows not only how stressed students are during rush hours but also the staff preparing the food.

Wood disagrees that opening up more restaurants would make a bigger impact, he claims that their customers are loyal and would wait long periods of time to get their meal. However, the question is should they have to? In today’s

fast paced world, college students are on a constant go. Most don’t have enough time to do simple tasks throughout their day due to the constant homework and classes they have. CSUSB should be making it easier for their students and workers alike to do their daily tasks.

AnaSofia Guzman, a senior at CSUSB points out that sometimes she doesn’t attempt to get lunch on campus because, “I won’t have enough time to make it to my class or even enjoy my food.”. This is a really stressful situation for most students because many are long distance commuters and rely on the university’s food options for their lunch breaks. She recalls how the university had many options for food at the student centers around campus at some point and how the wait times would never be as bad as it is currently.

Students and staff should raise awareness on the limited amount of food available on campus.

Restaurants should be more accessible and spread evenly throughout the campus especially with the growing number of students each day. “Due to lines, limited options, and not wanting to lose my parking space, sometimes I rather not eat’, Samantha exclaims, ‘this shouldn’t even be an issue.”

Welcoming new and old faculty and staff on campus

CSUSB’s soccer player, Valerie Warren, is entering her senior year and final season of soccer. The Redlands native has played for CSUSB since the Fall of 2018 and has always held CSUSB close to her heart. “I wanted to play closer to home to have an impact on younger female athletes in my community,” says Warren.

In March, she faced an unanticipated circumstance when she tore her ACL during an off-season game. Her leg experienced a sharp pain while playing right back but it wasn’t until later that she realized the extremity of her injury. Persevering and finding selfdiscipline against overworked muscles and exhaustion is common among student-athletes. She continued to practice on her injured leg for a month before it completely tore during another off-season game. An MRI later confirmed the tear, pulling her out of her season before it even commenced.

“My first thought after hearing the news was how this was going to hurt my team and what I was going to do without them,” stated Warren. Her role on the team displaced her from one of the starting eleven to a seat on the sidelines. This undeniably took a toll on her mental health and caused her to feel disconnected from the team. She confessed, “not being able

to travel with my teammates and make those road trip memories brought me to a really dark place, mentally. I couldn’t play the sport I loved and it sucked feeling off to the side.”

As common as injuries are for student-athletes, the aftermath of these unfortunate events is not discussed enough. The consequences include and are not limited to an inconvenient shift in their schedules and mental health battles. Warren faced that drastic change in her schedule as a student-athlete post-injury.

it took for her to take a shower or get dressed in the mornings to start her days. “I felt like such a burden to my parents who were taking care of me at the time,” said the usually independent Warren. This helplessness led Warren into a more depressive state. She had to spend the majority of the day in bed or engaging in activities to expand the range of motion in her knee.

A Goalkeeper’s Vision

Entering September, the women’s soccer team at CSUSB has played two games at our home terrain on the Premier Field. These Yotes have been successful in securing two great wins – the first victory being the home opener with a 2-0 shut-out against Fresno Pacific and the second against Arizona Christian with an astounding 8-0 win. If you have not had a chance to catch one of these games, you’re in luck. The season is just getting underway, with many more exciting games to come that will require as much spirit and support as possible. I had the opportunity to speak with the goalkeeper and team captain, Carly Luna (senior, #00), where she expressed confidence in her team and their goals for the season.

Yadira Pinedo: You played

Fall Home Games

a significant role in maintaining the first half scoreless against Fresno Pacific. What do you think was a critical factor in that first half to remain scoreless against you and the team?

Carly Luna: I owe a lot of that scoreless sheet to my defense and my mid fielders who were so dedicated to getting behind the ball and recovering a hundred miles per hour every play. I think that was really significant and I think in general, me specif ically, I didn’t have to make a lot of saves. I had to make sure I was super focused though, in moments where there were free kicks in the first half. If my team can prevent all the other opportunities from hap pening, then I have to come up for them in those big moments – that’s what my mentality was like.

Yadira Pinedo: As captain, what are your goals this season?

Carly Luna: My goal is to

muscle

She described physical therapy as the most painful experience ever. All of the exercises were meant to strengthen and rebuild the be the CCAA goalie of the year. That’s what I’ve been going after for the last four years as an individual. As a team, I want to place top four and get into the CCAA tournament; we haven’t been there in five, or six years now. As a team, it’s our goal to get there. Those are the two things at the top of my list.

Yadira Pinedo: Is there a game on the schedule that you’re looking forward to the most?

Carly Luna: Personally, I’m really excited about playing Cal Poly Pomona this year. My sophomore year they beat us 3-1 and posted a picture of me on their school

in general. She stated, “I just couldn’t stay motivated; it wasn’t easy having to go to practices just to sit out, do physical therapy, extra weight training, rehabilitation, and school work on top of that.” In a time when she had to be dependent on others, she still struggled and felt the weight of everything she needed to complete on a daily basis and it became overwhelming. However, staying in contact with her teammates and calling her coach about her struggles really helped her cope with her mental health.

Warren expressed that she had to deeply analyze her state of mind to come to the realization that recovering for the sake of soccer season was her ultimate goal. She searched for motivation and the outcome resulted in a successful recovery just in time for her senior game – her final season. “I learned to celebrate the small wins that I had, daily. Any form of progress was a step in the right direction for my health so I had to be patient and appreciate the pace my body was producing to get better,” she said.

With the women’s senior game coming up on September 17th at CSUSB’s Premier Field, Warren reflects on what she learned from her injury – “well, I’m never going to take playing soccer for granted again; even the early morning practices or runs that no one wants to do. Since my last year was cut short, I have to enjoy every small part with my teammates and this sport”.

Welcome back to campus, Yotes! With September in full swing, it’s time to draw attention to the fall sports teams representing the California State University of San Bernardino in black and blue. Come out and show your CSUSB pride!
