Choppers Tacos provides good food, company

By Anthony Victoria

t’s been a month since Choppers Tacos opened for business. It's already a popular spot among Colton residents.

On August 26 representative Ashley’s Furniture from Industries met with about 840 soon-to-be terminated employees of their Colton manufacturing facilities--telling them operations will cease after October 25.

“Colton bedding and upholstery production will be absorbed by our other manufacturing facilities,” the statement reads. “By shifting the majority of Colton production to other U.S. facilities we will create more efficiency and better use of existing capacity in our manufacturing network.”

A company press statement explained that Ashley’s Furniture is required to pay the workers according to their regular schedule and provide them benefits. Employees will also receive their accrued profit-sharing, 401 (k) balances, vacation days, job search and other support services during this time.

The employees were given the 60-day discharge notice in accordance with the Federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act and the California WARN Act. The Ashley distribution centers in Colton and nearby Redlands-which are separate from the Colton manufacturing plant-were not affected by this announcement.

Gloria Macias Harrison AWARDS! AWARDS!

Congratulations to the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians for its induction to the Inland Empire 66ers Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame, established in 2002, honors individuals and organizations making positive contributions to the Inland Empire through philanthropy, volunteerism and community leadership. Certainly The Tribe fits into all three categories. Professional baseball players Ken Hubbs and Alvin Davis were early inductees and no one has been inducted since 2010. I agree with Byron Marquez, Director of Business Relations for the 66ers, when he stated, " This recognition is long overdue. San Manuel has supported the 66ers organizations since the late 1980s when we were called the Spirit and has grown to become both a vital team and community partner. "The 66ers and the Tribe are developing community based partnerships to benefit our community groups, non-profits, little leagues and schools. Thank you San Manuel for all that you do in our communities.

Congratulations Dr. Margaret Hill for being named Woman of the Year by the Women of Dignity Health. This group is a women's only club that supports the Foundations of Community Hospital of San Bernardino and St. Bernardines Medical Center. Retired after a long distinguished career in education, Miss Margaret, as some of us call her, is currently the President of the San Bernardino City Unified School District Board of Education. In addition she is actively involved in numerous community and civic organizations. She is a positive force in our community and we appreciate all her efforts. Well-deserved Miss Margaret! Exhibits:

“Dair to Fair” LA County Fair returns Sept 2-25

t’s baaack!

The LA County Fair returns to the Fairplex in Pomona Sept. 2-26 for its 94th annual celebration of fun, food and farm animals galore. And this year, the public is being challenged to “Dare to Fair” and get the most out of it 487 acres of adventure. Fair reps have blessed us with a sneak peek of what you can expect for this 94th season. And of course, my first happiness comes in the form of food… I’ll be pulling out the mounds of Tums for this one — “Deep-Fried Hot Sauce, a 2016 LA County Fair exclusive served in a bag or as a spicy kabob.” I won’t get into all the food specifics quite yet, I’ll save that once I get my hands on most, if not all, of the deep-fried paradise . But for now, I’ll say the deepfried guac and the deep-fried Kool-aid are back on this year’s food-venture list. Now, to get the fun started, here’s what you can look forward to this year, according to the LA County Fair news release:

New-for-2016 attractions range from three acres of life-size animatronic dinosaurs and a reimagined “Bodies” exhibit to the ultimate hands-on sports experience, an ice-skating, snow-sledding wonderland, walk-through floral paintings and the 16-night End of Summer Concert Series with the biggest names in music – plus all-new signature food creations exclusive to the LA County Fair. •Jurassic Planet* – Thirty-five life-sized dinosaurs including a 44-foot-long T-Rex have escaped

the Fairplex Bio-Research Facility – but, while still wild and unpredictable, have become domesticated enough after years in captivity for public encounters. This three- acre animatronic adventure includes a hands-on dinosaur museum, live shows, fossil prep lab and dig hosted by real paleontologists. Come back after the sun goes down when special lighting and music create an even more memorable experience.

• Our Body: The Universe Within – Go under the skin of human anatomy – literally! – with this fascinating, educational exhibit of 200 uniquely preserved human specimens offering a vibrant, 3D view of our bodies usually reserved just for doctors. •Let the Games Begin – This year’s immersive experience explores the origins and science of America’s “Big Six” sports – baseball, football, basketball, hockey, soccer and golf – through elaborately themed displays, hands-on activities and rare memorabilia.

• The Igloo – Chill-out in our Arctic Village with Polar Ice Rink* and Penguin Sled Run* made with real ice and snow! Shop the Arctic Promenade for cool products and come back after 6pm for an allages dance party featuring DJ Cool and periodic snowstorms. •Watercolors: The Art of Flowers – 2016’s Flower & Garden Pavilion makeover explores the intersection of watercolors and flowers via real-life re-creations of famous paintings, dramatic walk-through landscapes and classes taught by our onsite floral experts.

And making sure the new and returning attractions meet the expected Fair standards, Darnel Pinson, a behind-the-scenes Fair creative force for years and descendent of one of the LA County Fair founders, has been designated as the official LA County Fair “Fairdevil” of this year’s run. Pinson will be responsible for ensuring that every element of this year’s fair — from the spiciness of the BBQ sauce for the Giant Turkey Legs to this year’s course for the Pig Races to the speed of the Gravitron, the Fair’s fastest ride, Pinson – are up to snuff. You can catch the Fairdevil on TV commercials and other advertising. The LA County Fair at the Fairplex in Pomona runs Sept. 2-25 and is closed Mondays, except Labor Day, and Tuesdays Visit www.LaCountyFair.com for admission.

Thank you Supervisors

As the Vice President of the Society for the Conservation of Bighorn Sheep, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Supervisors Robert Lovingood, Janice Rutherford and Josie Gonzales for voting not to certify the Soda Mountain Solar California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Society and the wildlife thank you for keeping big business out of our public lands. And shame on We all watch a new fire going out-of-control every week. I have talked to the Fire Protection Agency and local retired firemen. They say it is almost impossible to put out fires in the wilderness the first day due to politics!

When a fire starts the unit who first sees the fire has to contact the right agencies, area fire department and which Forestry Fire Department in this area should be notified. Approvals must be made before a single helicopter is sent out. It takes hours to finally get a small force to attack the fire. In Canada, 85 percent of the fires are put out the first day. In California, 15 percent. What is wrong with this picture?

The Pilot fire and now the

Paul Chabot’s gratuitous attack on a federal employee was shameful. The current political environment may have desensitized us to bare knuckle politics; however it is one thing to publicly attack an opponent seeking elected public office. It is quite another to attack a mid-

Blue Cut fire are good examples of nothing happening in the first hours of the fire. Every fire should have a investigation why the fire was not put out the first few hours of the fire.

We have two Super Scoopers stationed in Orange County. We are spending $44 million for these planes to fight fires. They were 30 minutes from the Pilot fire and the Blue Cut fire. Why weren’t they called? Why isn’t one stationed in our area like Victorville? We need to snuff the fires in the first hours using all resources right away; not waiting for everyone’s approval!

The Foothill fire years ago is a good example of agency problems. A helicopter was flying back from a small fire it put out in Lytle Creek. It saw a

small fire in a field near the border of Rancho Cucamonga and Fontana. The pilot contacted his superior and said he could pick up some water at a local reservoir and snuff the fire. His superior said no, that’s Rancho Cucamonga’s area, we will give them a call. The fire went all the way to Claremont, destroying hundreds of homes! I own a cabin in Sugarloaf near Big Bear. I am very upset about the way politics run the fire agencies. Why not spend millions on some new Super Scoopers of our own? Doug Thomson, Rancho Cucamonga

Words to Think About: Khizr and Ghazala Kahn

By G. W. Abersold Ph.D.

uch of the information in this article is based on an article in This Week Magazine that was copied from an article in the New York Times. It is one of the most interesting accounts I have ever read. Much of what we know about the Kahn family is common knowledge. It has been shown over and over again. I am not interested in repeating what happened at the Democratic Convention or the Republican re-

sponse or the Khan’s rebuttal. In any case, the lives of Khizr Khan and wife Ghazala became an American moment. He was born in 1950 and she in 1951 in the Punjab Province of Pakistan. Khizr was the oldest of ten children. His parents owned a poultry farming business. The couple met while attending the University of Punjab. She was studying the Persian language and he was in the Law College. He passed the Punjab bar in 1974. His attraction to his future wife was not only her beauty but her intelligence as well. They were both interested in Persian literature. Following their marriage, they moved to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates to earn money to come to the United States. Two of their three sons, Shaharyar and Humayun, were born in Dubai. They moved from the UME to the USA in 1980, first to Houston, Texas. Khizr received an L.L.M. degree from the University of Missouri Law School. They moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts and he earned a L.L.M. degree from the Harvard Law School in 1986. They both

became citizens of the United States in the same year, 1986. Following graduation they moved to Silver Springs, Maryland. Their third son, Omer, was born there. Khizr went to work with the law firm of Hogan and Hartson where he became manager of litigation technology. Their middle son, Humayun, graduated from the University of Virginia in 2000. As a member of the ROTC program, he enlisted in the Army. He rose to the rank of Captain and served in Iraq during the Iraq War. In 2004 he was killed in Banquban, Iraq by a bomb explosion. He protected his own men. He and the two suicide attackers were killed. He was posthumously awarded the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart Medals. His remains are interned at Arlington National Cemetery. By the way, his tombstone is adorned with a Muslim Crescent. In 2002 Capt. Khan met a German woman named Irene Auer. After dating they fell in love and planned to marry and settle in the USA. His goal was to go to law school. In his last e-mail to her he told her to go pick out an engagement ring.

After several months with the Khans, Irene returned to Germany, and she met a man who became her husband. They have two daughters. Following the death of Humayon the Khans moved to Charlottesville, Virginia to be close to their other sons. They became very involved with the R.O.T.C. program at the University. That’s where Humayun had been a cadet. Mr. and Mrs. Khan became known as the “mom and pop of the department.” Currently, Ghazala works in a fabric store and Khizr continues his legal consulting, working in commercial law and specializing in electronic discovery. The Khans are very patriotic, as are most immigrants from other countries. I am very good friends with several Muslims. One visits his ailing mother in Pakistan about every 6 months, and when he returns he gets on his knees and thanks Allah that he is back in the U.S. He certainly is a patriotic citizen. Most of the friends of the Khans know of their patriotism and that Khizr carried a $1 Dollar pocket copy of the Constitu-

tion with him at all times. “In the Khan home, a stack of them always lay at the ready. When guests showed up they were handed one, in the way other hosts might distribute a party favor.” Usually the Khans would start a conversation about liberty. I’ll never forget the evening when the Khans-Khizr-spoke for 6 minutes and one second at the Democratic Convention. Ghazala looked sad and did not say one word. Later on she was mocked and accused of being a typical Muslim woman who dared NOT speak in public. A total, deliberate, vindictive accusation that is completely false. Muslim women are feisty and out spoken. I know several of them and I assure you they are not timid. Why then was Ghazala sad and quiet? Simply she is still grieving over the loss of her son. Mr. Khan’s statement when he lifted his copy of the Constitution, I’ll never forget. “You have sacrificed nothing and lost no one.” Amen. Selah. So be it.

Disaster recovery group says "Be patient when dealing with insurance companies"

By Harvey M. Kahn

xperts in the field of disaster recovery advise victims that insurance companies are not your friend and will go to great lengths to short change you when it comes to paying for disaster damages. That is the advice given by former San Bernardino resident Lila Hayes Zubik whose mother's Del Rosa home was burnt to the ground by the 2003 Old Fire. After her mother, Charlotte Crandall was getting pressured by insurance company lawyers and eventually signed substandard settlement forms, Zubik joined others whose families faced similar disasters to form the Old Fire Recovery Group of San Bernardino Valley. The nonprofit group of about 300 met weekly for two years, hosting speakers from FEMA, insurance advocates, city, county, state officials and tax specialists. "No one realizes the amount of paperwork and the agencies you must deal with after your home burns down," said Zubik. Since her mother's home was in the city limits of San Bernardino, she had to meet with the city planning department. Then there was code enforcement, inspectors, insurance adjusters, contractors, subcontractors, assessors, and designers. She learned that most members of the general public are no match against savvy insurance adjusters. Zubik recalled, "I spent a year learning the process of what to do after your home burns

Charlotte Crandall's Del Rosa home was burnt to the foundation by the 2003 Old Fire, the 4th worse wildfire disaster in U.S. history. down." Zubik was living in San Diego at the time of the Old Fire. On that same date of Oct. 25, 2003, the Cedar Fire of San Diego ignited as well. Those two fires rank at the top of the all-time California disaster list. The Cedar Fire destroyed 2,820 structures and the Old Fire engulfed 975. Zubik currently volunteers with San Diegobased Community Assisting Recovery" along with many other volunteers who have recovered from major fire loss. By 2007, they were better prepared to help those recover from the Witch and Harris Fires that combined to destroy well over 2,000 homes in San Diego County. Still, the U.S. Fire Administration recommends your insurance agent as your main contact.

It tells victims to contact your agent immediately and keep close contact. Zubik said her mother eventually had to hire an attorney due to the overwhelming mounds of paperwork and red tape. "By then, we at least knew what questions to ask. The man across the street had the same insurance policy but he was pressured to settle early and received about one half compared to my mom, who lived in a RV on her property until her home was rebuilt three and half years later." In a phone interview, Zubik pointed out that nearly everyone is under insured and ill prepared. "It's important to start a diary immediately. Try to inventory all your losses.

house during the rebuilding." Zubik told of a free Disaster Recovery Guide book that Community Assisting Recovery offers. She tells of other important elements when determining your home value. Some are based on property tax and others based on sales value. Zubik calls those values a distraction. "Actually, after a fire the value you'll need to concentrate on is the replacement cost. Get a copy of your insurance policy and start getting familiar with it." If predictions from experts are true, now is the time to read your home owners insurance. UCR fire ecologist Richard Minnick has gone on record to warn of a pending fire that could affect an area spanning south of Big Bear, into Redlands, Oak Glen, the Yucaipa Ridge into Idlewild. His prediction is based on chaparral that hasn't burned in one hundred years. Zubik talked about the emotional effects that can hamper the thought process, thereby making disaster victims vulnerable to scam artists. She told of one neighbor, a contractor who convinced many in Del Rosa to pay him money up front for building materials. "He collected a good sum and left the state," recalled Zubik. Likewise, representatives from insurance companies say they lose close to $30 billion annually to fraud which gets passed on billpaying consumers. As California's largest consumer protection agency, its department of insurance collects $288 billion in pre-

miums annually and helps to recover $84 billion in claims and premiums. The California Department of Insurance serves as a clearinghouse for insurance-related questions or problems. It also investigates and prosecutes. Zubik, a 1987 graduate of San Bernardino High School said the disaster recovery groups were started in 1994 by George Kehrer, who was one of 3,500 who lost his home in the 1991 fire in the hills outside of Oakland. Zubik says Kehrer has counseled as many as four disasters simultaneously. "He does it without pay because he knows what its like." Zubik said she was initially paid a part time wage and then full time for two years. She has worked the last 11 years without pay at Community Assisting Recovery. They no longer have an office; instead prefer to be contacted through its website. Community Assisting Recovery does conduct a well-organized support and donor campaign whereby it solicits cash, cars, boats, or motorcycles. It has produced no significant income since 2012 when it grossed $50,000. Its primary source of income was from donations given for its Disaster Recovery Workbook Series. It adheres to a strict conflict of interest code and says it will not accept gifts from insurance carriers, lawyers, contractors, or anyone who would benefit financially from their services. Zubik said when the need arises they apply for grants from the San Diego Foundation.

SB Mayor Carey Davis gives residents update on city affairs

Mayor carey Davis shows residents a map that roughly outlines areas that medical marijuana dispensaries would be allowed to operate under three different initiatives: Measures n, o and P.

By Mj Duncan

an Bernardino City Mayor Carey Davis met informally with residents on

Thursday, Aug. 25 at the Fifth Ward’s Verdemont Community Center and Library to provide an update on the city’s bankruptcy proceedings, development at Carousel Mall and initiatives re-

garding medical marijuana dispensaries. The city’s bankruptcy status is currently past the disclosure statement awaiting a third amendment regarding language. Ballots were sent out July 29 to creditors that will be voted on this Friday. This hopes to be the final path to exit bankruptcy. According to Davis, the budget, which has been balanced for the last two years, has been realigned to reflect priorities highlighted by residents in the form of efficiency improvements. Those include contracting trash removal to Burrtec, saving $5 million a year; annexing the fire department to the County, that freed up nearly $8 million of the General Fund; and reallocating $54 million to the police department that enabled hiring of additional officers. According to Davis development of the 43-acre Carousel Mall is moving forward after officials from the city’s Community Development Department recently traveled to Madrid, Spain to hold a meeting with the owner of the Harris Building, El Corte Ingles. The meeting, Davis said, was productive, and the first phase of development would entail commercial, retail and residential

Endowment’s #SchoolsNotPrisons tour comes to Inland Empire

he California Endowment visited San Bernardino last week for their #SchoolsNotPrisons tour that featured a roundtable discussion, an art exhibit, and a free concert. Educators, faith based, and community leaders commenced at the Ingram Community Center last Thursday to discuss ways they can prevent students of color into further falling into the school-toprison pipeline. “This will be a courageous and heartfelt conversation around the culture of mass incarceration,” said Congregations Organized for Prophetic Engagement Executive Director Reverend Samuel Casey. Social Justice Consultant Tia Martinez provided statistics that provided a historical overview of rising suspension and incarceration

rates in the past four decades. “Isn’t it interesting that right at the same time that jobs for men with a high school [diploma] or less were disappearing, the opportunities to be touched by the criminal justice system went up,” Martinez said regarding the decline of the job market and the rise of mass incarceration in the 1970s. “All that had a huge effect on the ability of poor women of color to form stable families.” Martinez explained that the “explosion” in suspension rates is not caused by severe incidents, but by things such as tardiness or willful defiance. One suspension may result in a student being held back a grade and dropping out of school altogether, Martinez explained. Moreover, Martinez said that about 68 percent of African-American men will be incarcerated by the age of 35. In California, it’s closer to 90 percent. This may be due to students spending less time

in school, and more time outside school in neighborhoods riddled with crime and poverty. The only solution, Martinez believes, is through strong partnerships between teachers, administrators, and students that emphasizes social and emotional help. “This is a matter of safety, education, and prevention,” she said. “Punishment cannot revitalize and restore this county and this community.”in school, and more time outside school in neighborhoods riddled with crime and poverty.

use. In the upcoming election there will be three initiatives that would replace the city’s long-standing ban on medical marijuana dispensaries. There are city officials who want to continue with the ban, but prefer to regulate it on the city’s terms. The city-written initiative, Measure P, would restrict marijuana sales to industrial zones, and could not be within 600 feet of a school, park, library or recreation center. Measures N and O, known as the “Redmon” and “Guzman” initiatives respectfully, are less restrictive. Supporters of Measure N would throw their support behind the city’s initiative if minor changes were adopted; and Measure O would allow dispensaries at commercial corridors throughout the city. Park Maintenance Manager Jim Tickemyer and SBPD Lt. Richard Lawhead discussed the efforts of the year-old Quality of Life team responsible for the city’s upkeep by removing trash and blight, and deterring health hazards by clearing out homeless encampments that pose a risk to public safety. “If it looks bad, it is bad,” said Lawhead, a 25-year veteran of the police department. They encouraged residents to report illegal dumping and voiced their commitment to actively combat those issues that affect residents’ quality of life issues. Davis concluded the meeting with a reminder of a community clean-up and free dump day at Fis-

San Manuel Inducted into 66ers Hall of Fame

66ers General Manager Joe Hudson (middle) presents the 66ers Hall of Fame Plaque to San Manuel Band of Mission Indians Chairwoman Lynn "Nay" Valbuena during the team's Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on Saturday, August 27th. he San Manuel Band of Mission Indians was inducted into the Inland Empire 66ers Hall of Fame on August 27 at 6:55 p.m. preceding the start of the 7:15 p.m. game. The Hall of Fame was established in 2002 to honor individuals and organizations making positive contributions to the Inland Empire through philanthropy, volunteerism and community leadership and in-

cludes notable professional baseball players with connections to the region such as Ken Hubbs and Alvin Davis. This is the first time since 2010 that an honoree is being inducted into the Hall of Fame. “This recognition is long overdue. San Manuel has supported the 66ers organizations since the late 1980s when we were called the Spirit and has grown to become a both vital team and com-

munity partner,” said Byron Marquez, Director of Business Relations & President of 66ers Family Outreach. “Now is the right time to recognize the Tribe which has dedicated itself to community building, continually standing strong with cities here in the Inland Empire.” The Tribe has been a longtime supporter of the local baseball club and in recent years began working with the 66ers to de-

velop community based partnerships that benefit area community groups, non-profits, little leagues and schools. Plans to expand programs such as Homeruns for Charity are being developed as the Tribe and 66ers focus on utilizing San Manuel Stadium as a base for these initiatives. In 2012 the stadium was renamed the San Manuel Stadium when the Tribe became the naming rights sponsor.

“San Manuel is honored to be inducted into the Inland Empire 66ers Hall of Fame,” said San Manuel Band of Mission Indians Chairwoman Lynn Valbuena. “The 66ers are great for the Inland Empire and through our partnership we have been able to directly connect with families and residents as one community with the team and the stadium bringing us together.”

The undersigned caused said 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 the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to

SBD Fest Airshow to feature SB Strong Plane Pull

By Yazmin Alvarez

he skies over San Bernardino will be roaring Saturday as the annual air show — SBD Fest — returns to the SBD International Airport. Featuring aerobatic performances headlined by the Patriots Jet Team, a country music concert featuring Thompson Square, and a car and motorcycle show, the second annual airfest is expected to attract thousands of airplane enthusiasts and families. Among this year’s event highlights include static aircraft displays, vintage car displays, motorcycle displays, military aircraft, aerobatic and aerial acts, a kid’s zone, food trucks, beer, and several vendors and sponsors. SBD Fest 2016 will also double as a fundraising event for local public safety agencies that played a critical role in the Dec. 2 attacks in San Bernardino during the friendly strongman-like competition, SB Strong 757 Plane Pull. Using brute strength, a team of firefighters will face off with law enforcement to test which team can pull a 757 aircraft the farthest in two minutes. Donations toward the SB Plane Pull can be made by individuals through the Strong Plane Pull website, www.anython.com/SBDFest2016PlanePull . Donors can select a dollar amount per foot pulled or contribute a flat amount.

Local fire and law enforcement agencies will show feats of strength as they participate in the sb strong 757 plane pull. the fundraising event will benefit local public safety agencies that played a critical role in the dec. 2 attacks in san bernardino. Funds raised for the pull will benefit the San Bernardino Police Foundation, San Bernardino County Firefighters’ Association and the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Volunteer Administrative Support Unit. Last year’s inaugural event drew more than 10,000 spectators and was the first airshow held at the airport in more than 20 years. Mark Gibbs, director of aviation for SBD International Airport, says the hope is to not only build from last year’s event, but also offer an opportunity to see the developments taking place at SBD International Airport and possibly even spark memories from the past.

“Many of our attendees last year spoke to us about being stationed and serving at Norton AFB, some having helped to coordinate the air shows our community so fondly remembers,” Gibbs said in a news release. SBD Fest, a one day event, is set from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Sept. 10 at the SBD International Airport, 1601 E Third Street in San Bernardino. Ticket prices range from $5- $125 and are available at www.sbdfest.com/tickets. Admission is free for children under 5 and active military with ID. For event schedule and to learn more, visit www.sbdfest.com.
