Vega's fit for the role, stating, "My philosophy over the years is that we hire for fit here at Colton Police Department, not necessarily just for the skill set. And certainly, Anthony Vega has both."

major milestone in the representation of Indigenous stories and the remarkable efforts of Indigenous female athletes in the competitive world of rodeo.
The documentary, directed and produced by Frank Blanquet and Sahar Khadjenoury, who are both TV and Film Producers for FNX, was also nominated alongside their film "Native Hope Champions: Riding for the Missing." Blanquet shared the inspira-
tion behind the Emmy-winning project, highlighting the rapid turnaround from receiving a grant from the International Women’s Media Foundation Fund for Indigenous Journalists to covering the rodeo circuit.

Police Department the support that we have as an agency. That's important because we cannot do this job by ourselves; it takes partnership," said Vega. He credited his success to divine guidance, family support, and the intercession of prayer warriors.
Vega emotionally thanked his wife Anabelle and his children for their unwavering support and withstanding the sacrifices he has had to make over the years while serving the community. "You’ve been part of this journey since the beginning. 31 years ago, you married a dock worker pursuing a dream and a calling into the field of law enforcement. You’ve always seen the potential in me, even when I didn't see it in myself," he said.
Vega’s commitment to the community was a recurring theme in his address. He expressed a strong desire to elevate the standards within the police department and make Colton a safer city. "The call to serve in law enforcement is a noble call. Not only is it tough to get into, it's hard to sustain over the years. Thanks go to all of you in this room who chose to serve. I am standing here today proud that I am one of the few who has been able to sustain this over the years."
Reflecting on the challenges faced by law enforcement, Vega acknowledged the scrutiny the profession often encounters but reassured that there are more supporters than detractors. "Colton’s community is composed of good, hardworking residents and business owners who want what we all want — to thrive in our professional endeavors and to have a safe place to live and work. Already I am overwhelmingly impressed with the Colton pride our staff brings to work every day."
FNX Emmys
the INFR” documentary evolved after a great conversation about Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, Two-Spirit, and Transgender People (MMIWG2T) that didn't make it into the "Native Hope Champions: Riding for the Missing” film."
The documentary was shot over nine days at the South Point Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas during the Indian National Finals Rodeo in October 2022. It was supported by the International Women’s Media Foundation’s Fund for Indigenous Journalists: Reporting on MMIWG2T.
Sahar Khadjenoury, also co-director and producer of both films, described the challenges faced while producing the documentary. "Something we had to overcome was the weariness from some of the female athletes, as we were from an outside entity," Khadjenoury said. "Some athletes were unsure at first, as this was about their murdered and missing indigenous relatives, and we were asking them to do interviews during a highly attended competitive event. Frank and I sharing our clan backgrounds helped drop the tension. We are Indigenous storytellers, telling other Indigenous stories."
Khadjenoury recalled a poignant interview with athlete Shayla Conner (Northern Cheyenne), who shared her family's tragic experience with a missing relative. "Her purpose in creating awareness was to ensure other families don't have to go through what her family went through," she said.
Blanquet emphasized the cinematic approach taken for the documentary. "We knew we needed high frame rate shots to capture the muscle expressions of the bulls and riders in slow motion. We didn't shoot explicitly in documentary style but as a cinematic film," he said. "We wanted to focus on the massiveness of the animals and the command these athletes, like Bailey Bates from the Navajo Nation, have over them."
Mariana Lapizco, a production assistant and KVCR intern from Cuidad Obregon, Sonora, Mexico, and a recent graduate of the San
Vega also paid homage to Colton’s rich law enforcement history, mentioning Virgil Earp, the city’s first Marshal, and his legacy. "As the city manager mentioned, law enforcement leadership has deep roots here in the city of Colton where Virgil Earp was the city’s first Marshal. I’m honored to follow in his legacy," said Vega.
Vega's career spans several decades and includes extensive experience in various aspects of law enforcement. He began his career in 1993 as a volunteer with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department and was later hired as a full-time deputy sheriff in 1997. He has also served in the United States Navy Reserves and held positions at the California State University, San Bernardino Police Department. Vega holds a master’s degree in public administration from National University, a bachelor of science degree in criminal justice, and an associate of arts degree. He is a graduate of the FBI’s National Academy, Session 285.
Throughout his career, Vega has specialized in managing large-scale criminal investigations, public protests, and demonstrations. His previous assignments include public affairs, media relations, SWAT, narcotics, highway interdiction, clandestine laboratory investigations, internal affairs, jail operations, and oversight of a regional communication center.
As Vega embarks on his new role, he remains focused on building a diverse law enforcement workforce and engaging with the community to ensure the safety and well-being of Colton’s residents. His leadership marks a new chapter for the Colton Police Department, one grounded in tradition and committed to progress.
Bernardino Valley College Film, TV, and Media Program, highlighted the importance of pre-production. "Every project starts with research, and everything we prepare in pre-production makes a successful production and post-production," Lapizco noted. Lapizco is an intern at KVCR Public Media, who assists with FNX projects.
Reflecting on the Emmy win, Blanquet expressed the collective excitement and gratitude of the team. "It was all our first nomination, entry, and win.”
Lapizco said, “I remember recording as they announced the winners. It was surreal given my background, and I'm super thankful for these opportunities," she said. "We wanted to celebrate this film and create more awareness, and the reception has been amazing from both Indigenous and non-Indigenous audiences."
Khadjenoury added her excitement about meeting Donna Hoyt, the executive director of INFR, who had been supportive throughout the project. "I was really excited when we had the opportunity to meet Donny Hoyt at last week’s Emmys, it was really cool that she already knew about us, and she gave each of us a red MMIWG2T pin to wear," she said.
The documentary can be viewed on FNX.org and will be available on the FNX app starting November 1st; FNX is exclusively devoted to Native American and World Indigenous content and is owned by KVCR-PBS San Bernardino.
The award winning documentary captures the stories of barrel racers, cattle ropers, and a bareback bronc rider, highlighting how Native female athletes are making their mark in the sport and what makes the Indian National Finals Rodeo special to Indian Country.
This Emmy win represents a significant step forward in amplifying Indigenous voices and celebrating their contributions to sports and media, all while raising awareness for MMIWG2T.

Two-Alarm Fire Ravages Through Inland Center Drive Building, No Injuries Reported
By Manny Sandoval
Amassive two-alarm fire tore through a commercial building on Inland Center Drive on June 18, causing extensive damage but fortunately resulting in no injuries.
San Bernardino County Fire crews were dispatched to the scene just east of the 215 freeway at 11:54 p.m. after multiple 911 callers reported seeing smoke and flames erupting from the structure. Upon arrival, firefighters encountered heavy smoke and fire emanating from the large commercial occupancy.
Firefighters immediately initiated a fire attack, facing
significant challenges with forcible entry and severe fire conditions. Despite their efforts to search for potential victims and contain the blaze, the size of the building and the intensity of the fire prompted the call for a second alarm.
As the fire continued to grow, crews were forced to transition to a defensive strategy. From outside, they deployed ladder pipes and hand lines, pouring thousands of gallons of water onto the inferno. An excavator was brought in to assist with safely overhauling and extinguishing the structurally compromised building.
"Despite the rapid response and valiant efforts of our crews, the fire's intensity and the building's size pre-
Warehouse Worker Resource Center Applauds the Passage of Indoor Heat Protections for California Workers
Community News
More than eight years after the California Legislature passed and the governor signed protections for California workers who labor indoors into law, the members of the Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board voted to pass the regulations giving employers clearer standards regarding precautions for workers in indoor worksites in high temperatures.
Warehouse workers and advocates have testified before Cal/OSHA and the Standards Board about the urgent need for indoor heat protections for workers in physical occupations many times prior to a final vote of the Board. In March, the Standards Board also voted to pass the protections only to have them withdrawn and rewritten to exclude the California Dept. of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Since the March meeting, the Chair of the Board was demoted and one member removed.
Statement from Tim Shadix, Legal Director for the Warehouse Worker Resource Center:
Email
“We have never taken our eyes off the goal – protections for all California workers from heat. The road to get to the vote today has been long, but we hope there are no further delays and employees and employers are informed of these new protections before summer’s end. As we experience more extreme heat and longer and hotter summers, especially in the Inland Empire, it is absolutely essential that employers do more to prevent heat illness, including cooling work areas and providing for water and rest.”
Regarding the changes to the Standards Board, Shadix offered:
“Board members Stock and Thomas brought professionalism and deep and practical experience to their roles. They made the Board stronger and we are disappointed that they appear to be experiencing retaliation for simply moving worker protections forward.”
Background
In 2016 the Warehouse Worker Resource Center supported legislation introduced by Sen. Con-
nie Leyva that created standards for indoor workers. The legislation came after Domingo Blancas, a warehouse worker in Chino, Calif., fell ill while working on a hot summer day. He was hospitalized for several days. Cal/OSHA cited the warehouse operator and the temp agency for failing to adequately identify, evaluate, correct, or train workers on the hazards of heat exposure and heat illness.
The California Legislature passed SB1167 and it was signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown that same year. The legislation called on the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) to draft new standards by January 2019. Six years after the law was enacted, the Cal/OSHA Standards Board held its first hearing on the proposal and on June 20 the Standards Board voted to pass an amended standard into effect.
The Warehouse Worker Resource Center alongside warehouse workers has been fighting – and winning – for protections from these dangerous conditions.
sented substantial challenges," said Mike McClintock, Battalion Chief and Public Information Officer for San Bernardino County Fire. "We are grateful that no firefighters or citizens were injured in this incident."
San Bernardino County Fire responded with eight engines, three truck companies, three chief officers, a heavy equipment team, and two fire investigators.
Colton Fire also assisted in battling the blaze. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

New SB County Fire Headquarters Revealed During Ribbon-cutting
Community News
The San Bernardino County Fire Protection District hosted a grand opening celebration of its new headquarters location in San Bernardino. The new state-ofthe-art facility will centralize and enhance fire services across the county. The ribbon-cutting ceremony marked a historic moment for the district, bringing together county officials, community leaders, current County Fire employees and retirees.
This new headquarters building is the first time in the history of the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District that the organization has one central location. This location will house most of the administrative functions including the Fire District’s operational leadership, administration, the Office of the Fire Marshal and EMS Divisions. The building is a onestop shop for San Bernadino County residents to receive services from the Fire District.
“Our new headquarters is a testament to our growth and commitment to public safety and the communities we serve,” said San Bernardino County Fire Chief Dan Munsey. “This facility will help us to streamline our communication efforts and emergency response plans. From our day-to-day responses to major disasters, this facility will help ensure our residents
continue to receive the worldclass service, fire, rescue, and EMS service they have come to expect from the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District.”
The new facility agreement is a unique 25-year capital lease between IVDA and ICO Realty. It encompasses all development and operational costs. The 79,834-square-foot two-story building with a basement is situated on a 4.6-acre property at 598 South Tippecanoe Ave. in San Bernardino. At the lease’s conclusion, the Fire District will own the property.
Construction began in November 2022 and was substantially completed by May 2024 at a project cost of approximately $26 million. Due to recent real estate price increases, the property’s value is now estimated at around $40 million.
This new facility with its appreciated value and centralized services will enable the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District to serve residents efficiently and cost-effectively for many years to come.

Un Corrido a la Tierra: The Challenges Faced by a Mexican-Origin Family Achieving the American Dream
By Jorge Luis Macías, community writer
Juan Carrillo Domínguez is a firstgeneration American citizen who has witnessed firsthand the hardships of living in a family with mixed immigration status: suffering, discrimination, and a long list of barriers to achieving the so-called “American Dream.”
Born in Long Beach, Juan, 27, is the son of Mexican parents who emigrated decades ago from a town called La Encarnación, Zacatecas.
For him, the issue of immigration is a priority in his social struggle.
“This issue has caused trauma to many families,” he says. “Thousands have also died in their attempt to reach the United States.”
For Juan, the film project “Un Corrido a la Tierra” is a personal matter. He ex-

Ipresses it with humility. That’s how his parents taught him, and his grandparents taught them.
His story and experience are not unique. That’s why he has set out to become a university professor. He would like to influence the thinking of others, especially because many young people don’t give much importance to the issue of immigration.
“Migrants’ stories are important and need to be told,” he says. Written or recorded, these anecdotes need to reach the children of immigrants born in the United States who forget about the immigration issue, a topic that Juan, the young artist’s grandfather, did not speak about regarding how traumatic and difficult it was to survive in the United States.
Juan Carrillo Domínguez’s grandfather was a “bracero” in 192, in Nogales, Arizona, but died after working in the agricultural fields picking mushrooms in the state of Oregon (1991). There he gave
the best years of his youth and his entire life. Therefore, Un Corrido a La Tierra is a tribute to those who preceded him in the quest for the American Dream.
The so-called “braceros” were millions of Mexicans whose cheap labor was exploited in the United States from 1942 to 1964, under an agreement signed with the Mexican government.
But, thanks to The Space/El Espacio, an artistic magazine that inspires understanding of the most urgent issues in the Inland Empire, Juan Carrillo Domínguez, James M. Dailey, and directors Tamara Cedré and Adrian Metoyer III influence fostering civic engagement around environmental issues, global warming, labor, social justice, and racism.
In fact, “Un Corrido a La Tierra” intends to tell the example of him and his father, Octavio Carrillo. Both work in warehouses, where they exhaust their physical strength in exchange for little money.
The $100,000 grant awarded by Creative Corps Inland SoCal will allow them to present a new perception and perspective to analyze the exploitation of immigrant labor.
“We intend to create new conversations about the food chain issue and the work of thousands of people in warehouses that come from the ports of San Pedro and Los Angeles,” said Carrillo.
He and the other project participants hope to influence the political decisions made in the Inland Empire regarding the proliferation of rapid delivery warehouses.
“Un Corrido de la Tierra” will be the story of a family of three generations of men of Mexican origin who also played or play music, or sang and sing corridos to earn their “little money” after crossing a border into a country that was once Mexican land.
