Division V Regional tournament on Tuesday

When the Lions returned to practice they were refreshed and ready to compete for a new title They entered the CIF State SoCal Division V Regional tournament as the No 2 seed, behind just Ramona HS as the No 1 seed

“We all had the same mindset of wanting to get revenge,” senior midfielder Layla Bustamante said “We wanted to work toward the goal of winning a state title We didn’t use the loss to be like, ‘Oh, man we lost ’ We used it like ‘We are still in it ’ ”

“We didn’t use that loss to dwell and bring ourselves down,” senior forward Jada Edwards said “We used it to play harder and practice harder So that when we came out we were better It was kind of an ordinary practice Since the beginning of the season, our coach told us to have the image of playoffs in mind We were just working hard as if it were an ordinary practice We worked even harder, which is why we were able to win the state championship I would say what was different was we wanted it even more We knew we were the better team so we just had to come out and prove it ”

After a 3-1 victory against Madison High School on Tuesday and a 2-0 win against La Quinta in the semifinals on Thursday, a rematch with Ramona HS was set This time the game was played at Ramona HS and under better conditions without rain

The Lions said they used the cleaner conditions to their advantage Carter HS freshman forward Mya Davis scored in the 19th minute of the game to put the Lions up 1-0 From there, senior goalkeeper Kyra Montano and the Lions'

defense kept the Rams off the scoreboard the rest of the way

“Going up 1-0 definitely hyped us up,” Bustamante said “We were making sure after that goal that there were no more mistakes ”

“We had already had intense games this season So when it came down to a close ending and tight game, we just played calm and played our game,” Edwards said “There was some adrenaline pumping, but we used that to play our game ”

Then as the clock ticked down, the Lions finally claimed their championship They raised their new trophy, held medals, and celebrated on the field with friends and family

After traveling back from Ramona High School in Riverside, the team celebrated their title at Shakey’s Pizza Parlor & Restaurant back home in Rialto The celebration wasn’t truly complete until coach Kory Fincher entered the restaurant and the whole team cheered Fincher has coached soccer for nine seasons at Carter High School but this is just his second season coaching the girls team The players all agreed he played a big part in helping them earn the title

“I think our coach celebrating with us was the highlight of the night,” Bustamante said “The whole team got together after the game, and we all cheered for him We wouldn’t be where we are without him ”

“Our coach is a big part of why we won,” Montano said “He worked with us last year, and it was just a different feeling He changed the technique and the strategy this year He’s very smart when it comes to soccer He’s a big part of why we won the title ”

Rialto HS gir ls basketball claims CIF-SS title with comeback victor y

Community News

On paper, the Rialto High School girls basketball team’s victory in the CIF-Southern Section Division 4AA championship featured a double-digit comeback with the Knights only taking their first lead of the game in the final minutes

To hear the team talk about it, however, there’s calmness present and the feeling that they had it all along

The Knights made history by winning the 4AA championship with a 46-44 victory against Buena Park High School on February 25 at Edison High School

The title is the program’s first since 2011 That year, Rialto High School claimed the CIF-SS Division 2AA title with a 55-53 victory against Buena High School

In the title game, the Rialto High School girls basketball team stormed back from a 12-point halftime deficit The Knights took their first lead of the game with 1:04 remaining in the fourth quarter Rialto HS sophomore Carrington Davis was fouled and Buena Park HS was issued a technical foul Davis hit both technical free throws and both foul shots to push the Knights ahead 44-42 Despite trailing early, Rialto HS coach Robert Goodloe and the players say there was never a moment of panic

“One of the things is I am retired

from the military,” Goodloe said “I can accept losing a battle but I can’t accept losing the war Yes, they got ahead of us in the battle, but our main goal is to win the overall situation We did that I told the team that we’ve been here before, and we are going to continue to stay patient We are going to go out there and we are going to work harder We are going to go one point at a time and we are going to go out there and win It’s going to happen And it did It started out a little rough, but we didn’t quit ”

The Knights had their best performance in the third quarter and cut the Coyotes’ lead to four points entering the fourth quarter after going on a 10-2 run

“We stay level-headed,” senior Khamiyah Anderson said “We didn’t get down on ourselves and we didn’t quit That allowed us to come back and take the win ”

Anderson and Davis helped push the Knights over the finish line The duo combined for 38 of the Knights’ 46 points in the championship game Davis finished with a game-high 27 points and 15 rebounds Anderson scored 11 points and grabbed 14 rebounds

“We just trusted each other,” freshman Destiny Rabino said “We had to be better defensively in the second half and we were I wasn’t scared We’ve been down like this before Carrington and Kayma were bringing the momentum We were getting back in the game and things were just

little the system does to rehabilitate and support those who are trying to get back on their feet, especially women Now, she is using her experience to create a place where black and brown women can thrive and build generational wealth for their families

The BBOP Center is located at 599 N Arrowhead Ave in San Bernardino, offers 14 offices, a cafeteria, shared workspaces, and a childcare center, and is open 16 hours a day to accommodate those with 9 to 5 jobs

This center also includes the BBOP Business Academy, a 12week high-touch, a high-access program designed to give black and brown women access to the tools, strategies, and support required to build a strong foundation capable of taking innovative ideas to market

“The curriculum for the BBOP Business Academy is designed to provide women with everything they need to build, grow, and scale their businesses This includes access to mentors, coaches, support staff, and an attorney who can offer guidance on procurement and other important decision-making processes One of the most crucial aspects of the program is access to capital, which has been a barrier for many entrepreneurs in underserved communities,” said Perez

We are making it tangible by connecting women to the resources they need to funnel, finance, and gather investment "

The BBOP Business Academy is available to women nationwide, and enrollment is open to anyone who wants to take advantage of this opportunity "You can register online and be connected to mentors, coaches, and support staff," explains Perez "While a majority of the program’s cohort will be living in Southern California, interested women across the country will be able to access online resources too "

The BBOP Center and Business Academy have been made possible by the support of angel investors who share Carter's vision of creating a place where underprivileged communities can flourish "We've been able to find investors willing to take a chance that we can recreate Silicon Valley," explains Carter "It's part of the inspiration and motivation for us Why can't we have that here?"

The BBOP Center is a gamechanger for black and brown women in underserved communities

It provides them with the resources, support, and information they need to become successful entrepreneurs and build generational wealth

going our way in the second half ”

The championship wraps up an impressive run for the Knights Over the last two seasons, they have won back-to-back league titles while going undefeated in league play, and they are 48-7 overall in that stretch

Despite the dominant record, Rialto HS has faced adversity during that time The team came up short last season, losing 53-48 to Victor Valley in the Division 4AA quarterfinals Both Goodloe and Anderson said the team channeled that experience as it pushed in the second half against Buena Park HS

“We fell short last year, but when we got it this year it was that much more special,” Anderson said “I remember that game My head was not in it and my head was not focused The lesson I learned was I have to stay focused and we have to play as a team We can’t be distracted ”

Anderson is one of two seniors on the team, alongside Maliana Tahi While she hasn’t made a final decision on a school just yet, she said she plans to continue playing basketball in college as she pursues a psychology degree For now, she wraps up her senior season as a champion

“I was so happy,” said Anderson “It’s my senior year I was very very happy to get the ring and to have this title After everything, I worked for it To have it, to receive it was a true moment of bliss for me ”

Carter explains, "By giving them access to capital that has been denied, limited, and hard to come by, we are creating an economy that works for them

With the opening of this center, the Time For Change Foundation is changing lives and creating a brighter future for all

Upsets to look f or in r ound 1 of March Madness

By Caden Henderson

The NCAA basketball championship bracket has been revealed and the basketball world is ready for a weekend full of madness, as the journey to the NCAA title begins Looking for an upset to pick on your bracket or want to find Cinderella before the ball begins? Look no further, here are the top upset matchups to look out for in the round of 64

South Region:

9 West Virginia over 8 Maryland: Many may say a 9 over 8 isn’t an upset but I do Bob Huggins has led his team through a tough conference so don’t be too surprised if West Virginia moves on

12 Charleston over 5 San Diego State: High seed mid majors are always subject to upset but when you add in an elite 12 seed that they’re facing, the upset watch is on high alert Charleston has elite depth and that could carry them to a huge win over SDSU

10 Utah State over 7 Mizzou: This game has a very good chance of ending in the high 80’s or 90’s A

The Department of Forestry and Fire Protection’s (CAL FIRE) Urban and Community Forestry Program announced today that the application period for the Green Schoolyard Grants program is now open

In total, $117 million is available for educational and traditionally underserved communities throughout the state to help lessen the impacts of climate change and provide nature-based solutions where California’s next generation often needs it most

Following public comment opportunities and stakeholder discussions last year, applicants are invited to apply by April 14, 2023

Specific details about the application process can be found by browsing the Urban and Community Forestry Grants Program webpage or contacting CAL FIRE program contacts for more information

Two different grant options are available for interested communities, providing a full spectrum of resources for project management

These include options for planning grants to design and plan projects, and then implementation grants to make planning come to life

“CAL FIRE is delighted to be able to offer this un-

shootout certainly benefits the team on the upset hunt, so Utah State should look forward to this matchup

Midwest Region:

9 Auburn over 8 Iowa: Auburn has competed with the best of the best in the SEC, including the tournaments #1 overall seed Alabama Expect them to advance here

10 Penn State over 7 Texas A&M: There’s nothing scarier than a red hot team going into March, which is what Penn State is Texas A&M probably should be a higher seed, but now they’re stuck with this matchup and will be on upset watch

15 Colgate over 2 Texas: This could be this tournaments ultimate bracket buster Colgate can simply explode offensively and in a 1 game setting like this, it gives them a great chance to shock the college basketball world

West Region:

13 Iona over 4 UConn: Every year Iona is popular upset pick and this year is no different They ran away

with their conference title and face a UConn team not playing at its peak going into the tournament East Region:

12 Oral Roberts over 5 Duke: If you haven’t heard of Max Abmas yet, get ready to He led Oral Roberts on a Cinderella run 2 years ago and will look to do it again

Don’t get me wrong, Duke is playing some of its best basketball, but a first year coach combined with an elite offensive weapon on the opposite end could spell disaster

10 USC over 7 Michigan State: Two teams with a bit of a rollercoaster ride of a season will meet in this 7-10 matchup

USC’s offense is led by Boogie Ellis and, if he scores 25 or more, expect USC to run away with this game This matchup will be one of runs and whatever team ends hot will likely prevail

There are some of your upsets to watch for in round 1 The greatest weekend in college sports is upon us, so get ready for pure madness

precedented amount of funding and support for schoolyard greening projects,” said CAL FIRE’s State Urban Forester, Walter Passmore “Schoolyard trees and greening provide shelter from extreme heat and the impacts of climate change, as well as access to nature-based learning that is often not readily accessible in urban settings ”

This is the first time that CAL FIRE has secured and made funding available for improving nature and tree canopy cover on California K-12 public school campuses and nonprofit childcare facilities

California has approximately 10,000 public schools, the majority of which have very little tree canopy cover and a high degree of impervious surfaces

This leaves children, who are already disproportionately impacted by extreme urban heat, in even unhealthier environments than the surrounding urban areas

A lack of nature, exposure to extreme heat, and associated number of indoor-only days to avoid the heat do not only have negative effects on the physical activity and health of children, but to their mental health and wellbeing as well

“Extreme heat is more dangerous for the most vulnerable among us, including children,” California

Natural Resources Secretary Wade Crowfoot said

“These grants will enable community-led efforts to protect California’s most heat-vulnerable students by replacing asphalt in school yards with shade trees, plants, and gardens Green schoolyards benefit kids’ physical and mental health, enable outdoor learning, and create habitat to help boost biodiversity ”

Green schoolyard grant projects include the planting of trees and other vegetation, converting pavement to green spaces, creating drought-tolerant natural areas on school grounds, and other activities that help connect children to nature while improving the immediate environment for students and improving accessibility to nature and nature-based learning

Projects are intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve functionality of urban forests, arrest the decline of urban forest resources, address climate change resilience, improve the quality of the environment in urban areas and for underserved communities, and optimize cobenefits to school children and surrounding urban residents

Community Action at Inland Valley Development Agency: Residents demand f air r elocation and justice f or neighbor s at risk of displacement at March 8 meeting-cancelled by IVDA

Community News

Residents near the airport have expressed concerns about a just plan for relocation for over 2,000 residents at risk of being displaced in the Airport Gateway Specific Plan (AGSP) in San Bernardino and will speak up on March 8th, 2023, 2:30PM-5PM at the Inland Valley Development Agency (IVDA)

Residents want answers and a clear plan for support with relocation in the midst of a housing crisis, in a city that recently declared a state of emergency of homelessness

“These people are trying to come in and make us homeless This airport is trying to kick people out with no relocation to help others, what are we gonna do? This is a good neighborhood,” said Mike,a local resident of the airport area

Residents are demanding clear information and to be notified, some have not received notice that their landlords have chosen to sell because they are renters and not owners Additionally, business owners in this area have felt harassed and forced to sell and like they have no other choice

The IVDA has failed to authentically engage community and residents: “We want to ensure the Inland Valley Development Agency hosts more opportunities for residents to engage IVDA staff and ask questions related to the project

The AGSP Open House Meeting held January 12th was a meeting that was inaccessible to non-English speakers and did not give attendees consistent answers to their questions There needs to be more opportunities for residents and business owners to engage and ask questions about the project,” Brenda Huerta Soto, Community Organizer with The People’s Collective for Environmental Justice (PC4EJ)

The AGSP project is in a community where a federal judge labeled the expansion of logistics in this community as environmental racism, and this is only going to exacerbate environmental and health concerns

The Inland Valley Development Agency (IVDA) is proposing the Airport Gateway Specific Plan (AGSP) - a redevelopment project north of the San Bernardino International Airport that would rezone over 9 million square feet to mixed-use industrial uses in the City of Highland and City of San Bernardino over the course of the next twenty years

Over 9 million square feet of warehouse development

Thousands of diesel trucks into the area

2,500 residents possibly displaced

Less than 500 ft from schools

Two Cal State San Bernardino alumni became the first to directly join the university police force after graduating from the San Bernardino County Sheriff ’s Academy, following their recruitment as CSUSB undergraduates to join the department

Raudel Garcia-Reynoso, 28, and Victor Rodriguez, 26, joined other sheriff ’s deputy and police cadets at the graduation ceremony for the 230th Session of the SBCO Sheriff ’s Basic Academy, held March 9, at the Sunrise Church in Rialto, said John Guttierrez, acting chief of the Cal State San Bernardino Police Department

Both Garcia-Reynoso, who was born and raised in San Bernardino, and Rodriguez, who was born and raised in Whittier, will now join the campus police department The two CSUSB graduates served as community service officers while students, and each has a bachelor ’s degree in criminal justice, Guttierrez said And like 80 percent of the CSUSB student body, both are first-generation college students

“Both of these outstanding individuals served the campus community with a service-oriented mindset,” Guttierrez said Garcia-Reynoso and Rodriguez

are the first to join university police as a result of a partnership with the department and the university’s School of Criminology and Criminal Justice, said Guttierrez, who added that the partnership will help the department grow and maintain its ranks

The need for the partnership came as a result of staff shortages

Like other police agencies, the CSUSB Police Department has experienced some of the same historical challenges in recruiting officers that includes the high attrition rate in law enforcement, the decreasing pool of police candidates, relatively low compensation and the continuing fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic, Guttierrez said

To help bridge the gap, the department looked within the university, which ultimately led to the partnership with its School of Criminology and Criminal Justice to recruit CSUSB students and connect their major to their career field, Guttierrez said

“This new career pathway helps the department recruit and build a diverse workforce that is reflective of the campus community, develops the culture of the organization, and allows us to hire the best and the brightest to serve in our community,” Guttierrez said

Loved ones lost to substance use disorder

Along Coyote Walk and in the Anthropology Museum at Cal State San Bernardino, the campus community remembered loved ones who died because of drug overdoses and became more aware of the dangers of substance use disorder

Along with representatives of the San Bernardino County Department of Behavioral Health, students, faculty, staff and the community participated in Black Balloon Day on March 6, started by Diane and Lauren Hurley, who lost their family member – Greg Tremblay, aged 38 – to an overdose on March 6, 2015

Black Balloon Day tables were set up along Coyote Walk (behind the John M Pfau Library) and in the Anthropology Museum in the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences building During the event, the university community and area residents wrote messages to loved ones lost to an overdose

The messages were attached to black balloons at both locations, with the number of bal-

loons creating a visual representation of the number of people whose lives have been touched by overdose deaths

The personal messages attached to each balloon were read by passersby to help them personalize the statistics about overdose deaths and remind all that an overdose can happen to anyone

Each Black Balloon Day, more and more people – nationally and internationally – are using black balloons to remember the lives of those lost to overdose This is done to honor the lives of loved ones, to spark conversation, and to raise awareness about overdose deaths

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 136 people die every day in the U S from an opioid overdose

Locally, the number of overdose deaths in the Inland Empire has risen dramatically Between 2019 and 2020, drugrelated overdose deaths jumped a staggering 89 percent in San Bernardino County and 50 percent in Riverside County This is largely driven by accidental

overdose and drug poisoning through fentanyl In 2018 there were 30 fentanyl deaths in San Bernardino County In 2019 that number rose to 74, and in 2020 to 227 In 2021 there were 309 fentanyl overdose deaths in San Bernardino County

The Black Balloon Day was presented as part of the CSUSB Anthropology Museum’s INTO LIGHT exhibition, which shares the stories of 41 individuals who lost their lives to a drug overdose or drug poisoning

INTO LIGHT was started by Theresa Clower, who lost her son Devin Bearden to fentanyl poisoning One unique INTO LIGHT exhibition is being mounted in each state, featuring stories specific to that state

INTO LIGHT’s California exhibition is on display through June 10

The museum is open to the public and admission is free Museum hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a m -5 p m and weekends and evenings for groups, by request, by calling (909) 537-5505
