"Welcome to San Bernardino" Mural Unveiled: A 28-Day, 220-Hour Masterpiece by Resident Christian Mariscal
By Manny Sandoval
This morning, July 9th, the Rudy C. Hernandez Community Center buzzed with excitement as a new mural, entitled “Welcome to San Bernardino,” was unveiled in a ceremony that brought together local artists, community leaders, and residents.
The vibrant mural, created by San Bernardino Native Christian Mariscal, is a significant addition to the San Bernardino Beautification and Cultural Infusion Project, funded by a Creative Corps Inland SoCal grant from the Inland Empire Community Foundation in partnership with the California Arts Council.
The ceremony, which began at 10:00 a.m., marked a celebration of the city’s rich cultural tapestry. Each letter of the mural’s “San Bernardino” lettering showcases colorful and intricate depictions of the community, embodying the city’s spirit and
diversity. Artist Christian Mariscal, known for his previous public art projects, including murals at parks and community centers across the city, spent 28 days, totaling 220 hours, creating this masterpiece. “I’ve been doing a lot of serape style artwork and I tied that into the lettering and the background,” Mariscal shared.
Mariscal’s journey as an artist began in his youth, using graffiti as his medium. “I started spray painting at 11 or 12 years old,” he said. “I want people to understand that graffiti is art and I’m here breaking barriers with a spray can. I didn’t grow up with much education but I was able to use a spray can as my medium.” Mariscal has six murals across San Bernardino, and his work can be seen outside the Orange Show, the 5th Street Senior Center, and other locations.
The San Bernardino Beautification and Cultural Infusion Project, made possible by a $100,000 grant, allocated $40,000 to
commission artists for public murals, $40,000 for cultural demonstrations and workshops, and $20,000 for supplies and equipment. The project aims to celebrate and enhance the cultural richness of San Bernardino through art, and another mural is currently planned for the Encanto Community Center.
Alejandro Gutierrez Chavez, Executive Director of Arts Connection, highlighted the broader impact of the project. “Arts Connection helped advocate for the funds in partnership with the Inland Empire Community Foundation,” he said. “We pulled in $3.7 million directly to artists in San Bernardino and after one year since the grantees were selected, it’s amazing to see this mural come to life.”
Chavez also emphasized community involvement in the project. “Arts Connection engaged 448 residents in the Mural cont. on next pg.

city to understand the type of art they wanted to see. We conducted a listening tour, both online and through inperson feedback sessions and the top four elements residents want to see integrated into the art in San Bernardino are social justice, public health, environment, and voter and civic participation.”
The unveiling event was attended by Mayor Helen Tran and Councilmember Damon Alexander, adding to the community’s sense of pride and unity.
“The Mayor and I went to the same high school, Cajon High School, and she understands the struggle that we all
go through. It’s not just the art, it’s everything we do collectively to beautify and enhance the city,” Mariscal added.
“Public art plays a vital role in fostering community pride and engagement,” said San Bernardino Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Director Lydie Gutfeld. “This mural is a testament to that vision.”
The “Welcome to San Bernardino” mural stands as a symbol of the city’s vibrant community and the power of public art to inspire and unite.
Naked Man Dies After Struggle with Rialto Police; County Sheriff Launches Investigation
By Manny Sandoval
The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department is leading an investigation into the death of a man following a confrontation with Rialto Police early Saturday morning.
Around 12:11 a.m. on July 6, Rialto Police Department received a 9-1-1 call reporting that a man, allegedly under the influence of alcohol and narcotics, was attempting to break down a door at the caller's home. The caller noted that the man, known to them, was completely nude.
Upon arriving at the scene, officers found the man partially clothed, lying face down on the floor. The man was reportedly uncooperative and incoherent, groaning loudly at officers. Approximately two minutes into their attempt to detain him, the man experienced a medical emergency, lost consciousness, and stopped breathing.
Officers immediately initiated lifesaving measures, including CPR, use of an automated external defibrillator,
and administration of Naloxone. Despite their efforts, the man was pronounced dead at a local hospital at 1:16 a.m.
In compliance with department protocols and state reporting requirements, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department Specialized Investigations Division is conducting an independent investigation into the incident.

Assemblymember Eloise Reyes’ Young Legislators from San Bernardino and Colton visit the State Capitol
Community News
Assemblymember Eloise Gómez Reyes welcomed the 2024 cohort of Young Legislators from the 50th Assembly District to the California State Capitol. This educational program aims to provide local high school students with firsthand experience in government and leadership. The two-day program included a diverse range of activities designed to enhance civic engagement and policy understanding among these promising trailblazers.
The trip included touring the Stanley Mosk Court and Library, attending workshops, and meeting with state officials to learn about policy-making and civic responsibility. The second day included attending the Assembly Floor Session, where Reyes recognized the cohort. Students observed the legislative process, attended committee meetings, and toured the Capitol.
“Active participation and engagement form the bedrock of our democracy. One of the most rewarding aspects of representing the 50th Assembly District is creating opportunities for our young students to feel empowered," said Assemblymember Reyes. "I hope that our Young Legislator’s trip to Sacramento will provide participants with valuable knowledge that will serve them throughout their lives and inspire a lasting interest in government and civil service."
Emilio Flores from Grand Terrace High School said, "The Sacramento trip to the capital was definitely the highlight of my summer vacation. Not only did I create fun memories with my peers, but I also learned a lot about how much work is put in by our government to provide a functioning state. If given the opportunity for this again, I would not hesitate to say yes."
"Joining the program was super fun and really helpful. The activities and sessions were exciting and made each day interesting," said Isis Wilson from Carter High School. "I learned a lot of new skills and gained knowl-
edge that will help me in the future. Additionally, I met some awesome people in the program and in Sacramento who gave me great advice and new opportunities."
The Young Legislators program continues to be a cornerstone of Assemblymember Reyes' commitment to educational outreach and community involvement.

Rthey learned growing up, the idea that expressing emotions is reserved for women,” she says.
How women can help
If you are supporting a male loved one through their mental health journey, “don’t give up,” Vidauri reinforces. “I know it’s hard, especially because men must first express themselves in ways they were told wasn’t okay when they were growing up, but don’t give up.”
Here are some ways women Vidauri says can help men navigate their mental health journey:
Sharing Experiences
Discussing mental health helps normalize and destigmatize the topic. Exposure to the topic helps serve as a motivator for men to talk more openly about what they are going through.
Pausing to Listen
Women often find it easier to discuss their experiences, but when conversing with a man who might not be accustomed to opening up, Vidauri suggests taking a moment to listen, as it's important to include his opinions and viewpoints in the conversation.
Invite Them to Your Therapy
When dealing with a man who is reluctant to attend therapy, Vidauri suggests inviting him to your sessions so that they can see what the process is like. “If a woman tells a man he needs to go to therapy, he might get defensive and resist. However, it’s different if she invites him to join her as a part of her supportive network.” The idea is that when a hesitant person sees someone benefiting from therapy, they may become interested and start to view mental health care more positively.
Set Boundaries
Nobody likes feeling uncomfortable, so it's essential to be patient and set boundaries for yourself. While it's important to help those around us, women must remember not to overextend themselves to the point where they become passive and neglect their boundaries.
What if they don’t want help?
Dealing with a loved one who doesn’t want help can be tricky because you don’t want them to shut down or shut you out. “Love them, but don’t work harder than them,” Vidauri says, “because that can make them push

back.” The more you ask them to get help, the more likely they will avoid discussing personal topics with you.
To help with this, Viduari suggests using the “three rules” method. Instead of bombarding a loved one with texts, calls, and visits, you check on them every three days. This lets them know that you are still there for them, but you respect them enough not to unintentionally burden them or push them away.
Tips for Men
It can be challenging for men to deal with their mental health. Vidauri offers these simple tips to help men manage and improve their mental health.
Exercise: Regular exercise can help reduce the symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Vitamin D: Boosting your vitamin D levels by going outside or being near a window helps regulate the mood and ward off depression.
Avoid isolation: Maintaining in-person friendships rather than relying solely on online friends fosters interpersonal support with loved ones.
Build a community: If you can’t surround yourself with friends and family, or you need additional community, there are numerous support groups for issues like depression and addiction.
Eat well: Processed foods might taste good, but a balanced meal benefits the body and mental health.
Get a checkup: Sometimes, a person experiencing mental health issues may have a deficiency in a specific hormone or vitamin, which a doctor can assess.
Self-care: In today's fast-paced society, taking a mental break can be challenging, but stepping back to relax and express gratitude can help a man regain focus on the positive aspects of life.

Suspects Arrested in Connection to Redlands Home Invasion
edlands Police detectives arrested three suspects last week in connection to a home invasion robbery that occurred Sunday morning, May 12, in the 700 block of Concord Lane.
The victims were at home shortly before 1 a.m. when several masked suspects kicked open a rear door to the residence, setting off the home alarm, and confronted the residents. One of the residents attempted to fight off the intruders with a cane.
The intruders went upstairs and woke the couple’s adult son, forcing him downstairs.
The suspects fled the house after a few minutes without taking any property.
One of the residents was injured when she tripped and hit her head while trying to move away from the suspects. She was transported to the hospital for treatment.
Detectives conducted a thorough investigation and identified three suspects. On June 27 detectives responded to the City of Victorville where they located and arrested Victorville residents Derrick Thomas, 22, and Ryan Terrell Harvey, 31.
On July 2, detectives located and arrested 25-year-old Rashawn Jamar Jefferson, of San Bernardino, during a traffic stop in that city.
All three suspects are believed to be members of a coordinated burglary crew and have been targeting highend residences throughout Southern California. Investigators believe there are likely additional victims, and the investigation is ongoing. Police urge any-
one with additional information to come forward.
If you have any information related to this incident, please contact the Redlands Police Department Investigative Services Bureau at (909) 798-7659.

San Bernardino County Leads the Way: Teamsters Secure Early Implementation of $25 Minimum Wage for Healthcare Workers, Bringing Immediate Relief
Arrowhead Regional Medical Center Linen Workers who are being positively impacted by this wage increase.
By Teamsters Local 1932
In October of 2023, Senate Bill 525 by Senator Durzao of the California State Senate, was signed by Governor Gavin Newsom. SB 525 establishes a $25 per hour minimum wage for all healthcare workers in California.
“I’m so happy that my hourly rate is increasing because my rent has skyrocketed and until now, my wage has stayed the same. This gives me and my CoWorkers some relief,” said Tiffany Boddie, a Lead Custodian at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center.
The original version of the bill was supposed to implement the new healthcare minimum wage in June of 2024 but be-
fore Senate Bill 525 was signed in October of 2023, the Governor and the legislature amended the bill to give counties an additional 6 months, allowing counties to extend the implementation date to 2025.
However, on April 30th, 2024, Teamster’s Executive Board, spearheaded by Secretary-Treasurer Randy Korgan, took immediate action provoking discussions with the County Board of Supervisors.
The Local was asking for the implementation of the new wage increase to be effective in June 2024 along with private sector competitors.
Because of that advocacy, in addition to the Board of Supervisors understanding
and ultimately agreeing, more than one thousand Teamster members across the San Bernardino County Healthcare system will now see an increase in their hourly wages sooner rather than later.
This provides immediate relief to the county’s healthcare workers who for too long, have been overlooked, despite being on the frontlines of the nation's largest county.
“We believe San Bernardino County is the only County in California that implemented the increases earlier than required because of advocacy, communication, and coordination with county leadership,” says Randy Korgan Secretary-Treasurer.
“I’m happy with the progress of our union and with the advocacy of our board. Living paycheck to paycheck is a struggle but with this increase, we get a little more comfort. This wage increase has been long overdue,” says Angela Kirkindoff, a linen room attendant at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center.
The local would like to thank the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors for listening to its members and not delaying the implementation date.
Teamsters Local 1932 also thank Senator Durazo for authoring SB 525 which will have a positive and long-lasting impact on the lives of many of its members.
