Ono Hawaiian BBQ broke ground on its newest location in San Bernardino’s 5th Street Gateway on August 29, 2024, marking the chain’s third drive-through location ever. While representatives from the mayor’s office, investors, and construction partners attend-
ed, Councilman Theodore Sanchez, who represents Ward 1 where the project is located, did not show up despite confirming his attendance.
David Friedman, co-owner and CEO of Realicore Real Estate Group (the developer carrying out a build to suit), expressed both optimism and disappointment during the event. “I’m thrilled to see this project
moving forward and grateful for the support from our community leaders like Councilman Damon Alexander. However, it’s unfortunate that Councilman Sanchez was unable to attend. We had hoped to see him support this significant development in his own ward.”

The Colton City Council has unanimously approved the "South Colton" mural at 165 E. O Street, a project that aims to celebrate the community's rich cultural heritage while addressing a persistent issue of vandalism.
The wall, which has been tagged six times in 2024 alone, will soon feature a vibrant mural designed to honor legacy businesses
and local icons. The approval follows intense discussions about which businesses should be represented, particularly the inclusion of Nickelodeon Pizza.
The mural, proposed by Eugene Valdez, will be painted on an existing six-foot block wall and includes symbols such as the Colton High School logo, boxing gloves, and Veterans Park Eagle. Initially, the mural also featured a tribute to Nickelodeon Pizza, a long-standing Colton business. However, this sparked debate
during the July 23, 2024, Planning Commission meeting.
Planning Commission Vice Chair Gary Grossich recommended replacing the Nickelodeon Pizza logo with one from a business more representative of South Colton. "I appreciate the thought behind including Nickelodeon Pizza, but we should focus on businesses that are truly a part of South Colton," Grossich stated.
PHOTO ARTIST’S RENDERING
The South Colton mural rendering by Moreno Valley resident and Colton raised artist Antonio Martinez has been revised to omit the inclusion of Nickelodeon Pizza as recommended by its owner Gary Grossich.

the project, has already begun work on the foundation and utility installations. The 2,400-square-foot building will feature a mid-century modern design, similar to Starbucks and 7Eleven, without overt Hawaiian-themed elements. PDB Collaborative, the project management firm, is overseeing the architectural engineering, led by Danielle Foley.
Friedman emphasized the economic benefits of the new location, noting that it will not only create jobs but also contribute to the area’s economic recovery. “This project is not just about building a new restaurant; it’s about creating opportunities for local residents. The construction alone is providing good temporary income for the area, and once operational, the restaurant will offer employment for up to 25 residents in the area.”
The new Ono Hawaiian BBQ, located at 539 N H Street, is part of a

Valdez, responsive to community feedback, expressed his willingness to make adjustments. "Art is subjective, and this process could go on indefinitely, but I'm committed to ensuring this mural reflects the heart of South Colton," Valdez said.
The proposal has garnered widespread community support, as seen in the positive responses to a Facebook post sharing the mural’s details. O Street resident Veronica Castro Gonzalez voiced her support but also recommended an alternative. "I love the idea of this mural. If Nickelodeon Pizza is to be replaced, I'd suggest Toby’s Market. It's been on O Street as long as I can remember," Gonzalez said. She also emphasized the importance of involving local artists to prevent potential vandalism. "If you don't include the neighborhood, the mural is probably going to get tagged on," she added.
Antonio Martinez, a seasoned Moreno Valley muralist likely to be commissioned for the project, emphasized the positive impact murals can have on a community. "Murals not only beautify neighborhoods but also increase property values and create opportunities for more grants. I've seen firsthand how they can uplift a community, particularly in Riverside," Martinez said.
broader redevelopment of the 5th Street Gateway, which will also include a Chipotle, Sonic, and Quick Quack Car Wash.
Reflecting on the decision to bring Ono Hawaiian BBQ to San Bernardino, Friedman praised the company’s focus on drive-through expansion. “We considered other options, including Shake Shack, but Ono Hawaiian BBQ was the right fit. They’ve been great to work with, and their commitment to San Bernardino as part of their drive-through expansion strategy is commendable.”
Friedman, a fan of Ono’s menu, shared his personal favorite, “I always go for the mac salad and the Chicken Katsu.”
Construction of the new Ono Hawaiian BBQ is expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of next year, contributing to the ongoing revitalization of San Bernardino.
The mural's location at 165 E. O Street has been a frequent target for graffiti, with six incidents reported this year. Valdez noted the community’s eagerness for the mural as a deterrent. "The last time the wall was tagged, locals came out and sprayed over it because they know a mural is coming," he explained.
During the City Council meeting, Mayor Pro Tem John Valdivia raised questions about the mural’s depiction of the "100 Block" of O Street. He asked Valdez whether the inclusion of the "100 block" would make the mural too crowded or if it was necessary to include it at all. Valdez explained, "The reason why it's '100 Block' in the mural is that from La Cadena Drive and O Street to the house on 9th Street, I own all the property there. Instead of including all of those addresses, it’s simplified by using '100 Block.'”
Valdivia also suggested placing lighting on the wall at night to deter further vandalism, an idea that aligns with the community’s goal of maintaining the mural’s integrity once it’s completed.
With the City Council's approval, the "South Colton" mural is set to become a prominent feature in the community, transforming a frequently vandalized wall into a symbol of local pride and resilience.

Waste into Power—How East Valley Water District’s Co-Digestion System is Leading Environmental Innovation
By David E. Smith, EVWD Governing Board Member
Senate Bill1383 (SB 1383), was signed into law in September 2016. SB 1383 is California's strategy to reduce methane and other short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs).
Reducing organic waste disposal by 75% by 2025 was the impetus behind staff’s recommendation that the Digesters be added to the Sterling Natural Resource Center project. The Board of Directors voted unanimously to add the technology in March of 2019.
The SNRC has set out to “Make Every Source a Resource.” State-of-the-art “digester technology” converts up to 130,000 gallons of imported organic waste streams per day into 3 megawatts of renewable energy to power the facility. This results in a savings of $300,000 a month ordinarily paid to Edison.
East Valley Water District is all about maximizing resources. State-of-the-art co-digestion technology gives food waste a new purpose and maximizes this resource to create renewable electricity. The renewable electricity created will offset the SNRC operating costs. Extra energy that is created is transferred onto the grid. The material left over from the process is used to produce fertilizer.
Co-digestion technology at the SNRC helps offset emissions of 21 million pounds of carbon dioxide associated with non-renewable fuel power generation annually. By taking bold action on projects like these, we are securing our district’s environmental and financial future.
I am committed to continuing this work and ensuring that East Valley Water District remains a leader in both environmental innovation and fiscal responsibility.
Two Arrested and Eleven Drivers Cited at DUI Checkpoint
Community News
On August 30th, 2024, from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m., the Colton Police Department held a DUI checkpoint in the 1700 block of S. La Cadena Drive.
Eleven drivers were cited for operating a vehicle unlicensed or with a suspended/revoked license.
Two individuals were arrested for outstanding felony arrest warrants. In total, 744 vehicles passed through the checkpoint; wherein 232 of those vehicles were screened for objective signs and symptoms of intoxication or driving while suspended or unlicensed.
DUI checkpoint locations are determined based on reported incidents of impaired driving-related crashes. The primary purpose of DUI checkpoints is to promote public safety by taking suspected impaired drivers off roads.
There will be additional DUI checkpoints in the future at undisclosed locations.
Funding for this checkpoint was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Two Ramos Bills to Confront Missing and Murdered Indigenous Crisis Headed to Governor’s Desk
Community News
Measures to grant tribal law enforcement peace officer status in a pilot program and ensure that occurrences of domestic violence on tribal lands are reported to the California Department of Justice will head to the governor after the Assembly approved amendments made in the Senate. Both measures are aimed at tackling the Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP) crisis in California which ranks fifth in the nation for unresolved such cases.
Assemblymember James C. Ramos (DSan Bernardino) authored AB 2138, the peace officer proposal, and AB 2695, the data reporting bill. Ramos, the first and only California Native American elected to the Legislature, has previously authored legislation dealing with the crisis and conducted hearings and other events to raise awareness and ensure Native American inclusion in discussions about the issue.
“A disproportionate number of Native Americans, particularly women and girls, have suffered from some form of violence. A 2016 report from the National Institute of Justice 2016 report found that 84% of American Indian/Alaska Native women experience violence in their lifetimes and 41% had been physically injured from physical violence by intimate partners, stalking and sexual violence. Our law enforcement agencies at all levels need more resources.
Peace Officer Status for Tribal Police: AB 2138
AB 2138, would bill create a pilot program with three tribes in the state Department of Justice (DOJ). Peace officer status would grant tribal officers the authority of a California peace officer on Indian land and elsewhere in the state under certain circumstances. They could enforce state law on tribal lands and arrest non-tribal citizens on tribal lands. AB 2138 would require the tribal law enforcement participants to obtain Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training certification, and the tribe would be required to meet transparency and liability-specified requirements. The pilot operation would run from July 1, 2025 to July 1, 2028.
Ramos said, “This bill will improve law enforcement response times on reservations, often located in rural communities, and provide another partner during emergencies for neighboring communities.”
Safety on reservations was greatly diminished in 1953 with federal passage of Public Law 280 (PL 280) that transferred responsibility for law enforcement and criminal justice on tribal lands to six states, including California. The law resulted in fewer re-
sources for public safety and created jurisdictional confusion among federal, state and local law enforcement and less safety overall on reservations. Tribal police jurisdiction was also limited under PL 280.
Because of PL 280, tribal police lack peace cannot arrest non-Native persons committing crimes on native lands and have less funding and fewer infrastructure resources.
Yurok Tribe Chairman Joe James stated, “The tribal police pilot project represents real progress in the effort to resolve longstanding inequities created by PL 280, which prevents tribal police from putting an end to the disproportionate rates of violence committed against Indigenous women and people. On behalf of the Yurok people, I would like to thank Assemblymember Ramos for championing the much-needed legislation. We equally appreciate the California legislature’s support for this tribally led solution to one of the most pressing issues in tribal communities across the state.”
“Achieving state peace officer status for our qualified tribal officers has been an ongoing effort dating back to the early 1990s. The passage of AB 2138 will represent a significant step toward realizing this goal which is ultimately about creating safer tribal communities,” said California Indian Legal Services Executive Director Heather Hostler. The organization, Yurok tribe, and Attorney General Rob Bonta are co-sponsors.
Supporters include Habematolel Pomo of Upper Lake, Picayune Rancheria of the Chukchansi Indians, Tejon Indian Tribe, Tule River Tribe, Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation, Strong Hearted Native Women’s Coalition, Initiate Justice, and other Native American advocacy organizations.
DOJ Data Collection: AB 2695
AB 2695 would require the DOJ to disaggregate data reported to the federal National Incident-Based Reporting system to note whether incidents occurred in Indian country, including domestic violence incident reports.
“Inaccurate and incomplete data hinders effective strategies and responses to how California deals with the MMIP crisis,” Ramos said. “AB 2695 bill will help provide more accurate data about where violence is occurring on Indian lands and who is involved in these crimes. It would also provide law enforcement, tribes, and others information about the extent of the crisis, flash points and trends – all critical information that California needs to effectively combat this crisis.

County Issues Heat Advisory, High Heat Temperatures Expected
an Bernardino County Health Officer Dr. Michael Sequeira issued a heat advisory today as extreme heat is expected to continue through the week. Dr. Sequeira is urging the public to take necessary precautions during heat waves.
“The summer heat can be dangerous, and everyone should take the right steps to stay safe. Heat-related illnesses like heat exhaustion and heat stroke can be very serious, especially for those who are more vulnerable,” Sequeira said. “By keeping cool, drinking plenty of water, and staying informed, we can protect ourselves and those we care about from extreme heat. Being aware of summer heat isn't just about staying comfortable; it's about ensuring public health and safety.”
Residents are encouraged to learn the warning signs and symptoms of heat-related illness and are advised to take the necessary precautions to prevent serious health effects such as heat exhaustion or heat stroke by following the tips below.
Stay Cool
Stay in air-conditioned buildings.
▪ Find an air-conditioned cool location open to the
▪ public by visiting San Bernardino County Cool Places
to Go or by dialing the United Way’s toll-free resource telephone line at 2-1-1. Seniors can also take advantage of the Senior Information and Assistance Hotline at 1 (800) 510-2020.
Do not rely on a fan as a primary cooling device.
▪ Limit outdoor activity, especially midday when it is
▪ the hottest part of the day. Avoid direct sunlight and stay in shaded areas when possible.
Wear loose, lightweight, light-colored clothing.
▪ ture.
▪ Take cool showers or baths to lower body tempera-
▪ least twice a day.
Check on at-risk friends, family, and neighbors at
Never leave infants or children, or pets in a parked
▪ car, even if the windows are open.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water more than usual and don’t wait until
▪ thirst sets in.
Drink from two to four cups of water every hour
▪ while working outdoors.
▪ feine, and alcohol.
Avoid liquids containing high amounts of sugar, caf-
▪ ing enough water.
Make sure family, friends and neighbors are drink-
For Pets
Pets are vulnerable to high temperatures too but are un-
able to vocalize their distress. Some signs of heat distress in pets can include heavy panting, difficulty breathing, lethargy, excessive thirst, and vomiting. Help prevent a heat emergency by taking these steps.
Provide extra water to your pets.
▪ Bring pets inside during periods of extreme heat.
▪ Ensure pets have plenty of shade if kept outside.
▪
Remember, the shade pets have in the morning will either change or diminish as the sun moves throughout the day and may not protect them.
Don’t force animals to exercise when it is hot and humid. Take your pets for a walk early in the morning or late in the evening when temperatures are cooler. Do not let pets stand on sidewalks or hot asphalt to avoid burning their paws.
Never leave pets in a parked vehicle. Even in the shade with windows cracked, temperatures can reach over 120 degrees inside.
Stay informed
Before, during, and after emergencies, San Bernardino County departments and partner agencies work together to improve emergency management and protect lives. Stay informed about disasters and emergencies by visiting the County’s Preparedness Starts Here website at prepare.sbcounty.gov.

Groundwork Arts proudly announces the unveiling of Signs of Courage, a unique public art installation created by former sixth-graders (now seventh graders) from the Morongo Unified School District in collaboration with Groundwork Arts teaching artists.
On Saturday, September 7th, Signs of Courage will debut at the 29 Palms Freedom Plaza Community Center during the Farmer’s Market from 8 am to 1 pm.
This special public art installation features thirty-eight professionally produced street signs, each displaying inspiring and heartfelt messages created by students. These amazing signs are the culmination of a year-long art initiative that encouraged students to use art as a vehicle to address their challenges, express their truths, and share their optimism.
Groundwork Arts teaching artists guided students through lessons on messaging, graphic imagery, typeface, color, and shape. The sixth-graders then applied these lessons and transformed their ideas into important visual statements to create 509 unique hand-painted signs with messages of resilience and support.
Are All People"
Enough"
Thirty-eight of these signs were chosen by peers, teachers, and Groundwork Arts staff to be printed as largescale art signs. Rhonda Lane Coleman, Director of Groundwork Arts, shared her excitement about the project, "These signs are more than just art—they are a testament to the courage and wisdom of our youth. In a world that sometimes feels topsy-turvy, with many additional pressures on our youth, these young voices remind us that hope and resilience are within reach. This public art project, initially aimed at encouraging our students, has resulted in a powerful installation that uplifts our entire community. No matter your age, race, gender, education, political affiliation, or background, these messages speak to the core of what it means to be human. We are incredibly proud of our students and grateful for our partnership with Morongo Unified School District and for the support of the City of 29 Palms."
This project was made possible by Groundwork Arts and is supported in part by the California Arts Council, a state agency. Learn more at www.arts.ca.gov.
