Historic Agua Mansa Pioneer Cemetery, Resting Place of Early Settlers in Colton, Reopens After $1.059M Rehabilitation

By Manny Sandoval

The historic Agua Mansa Pioneer Cemetery has officially reopened after an extensive $1.059 million rehabilitation project. This significant investment, funded by the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors and the California Cultural and Historical Endowment, promises to enhance visitor experiences and preserve the site for future generations.

The renovation, which began in August 2023 and was completed in May 2024, includes drive repairs, landscaping, the addition of an entrance monument, interpretive signage, gate replacement, and the conservation of select headstones and gravestones. A key aspect of the project was the use of groundpenetrating radar to create a comprehensive map of all burials, providing invaluable data for future research.

Nancy Melendez, president of the Old Spanish Trail Association and the Spanish Town Heritage Foundation, emphasized the personal and historical significance of the site. "My third great grandfather, Juan Manuel Lorenzo Trujillo, led the original ten

families across the Old Spanish Trail and settled here. He was kind of the unofficial mayor because everyone looked to him. He died in 1855, and this cemetery, established in the mid-1800s, became his resting place. Unfortunately, over the years, rains, floods, and vandalism led to the loss of many graves, including his."

The cemetery, which had fallen into severe disrepair and was closed in the mid-1960s, became completely shuttered in 2019. Melendez recounted, "In 2011, we wanted to recognize Lorenzo Trujillo for his contributions. With the help of family genealogist Leonard Trujillo and a sculptor friend, we installed a piece that resembled the Latin cross and the New Mexico flag, symbolizing Lorenzo's faith and heritage. The Catholic Diocese of San Bernardino blessed the monument, marking a pivotal moment in our preservation efforts."

Melendez further highlighted the cultural importance of the site, "This reopening is crucial because it's a place for people to learn about history. You don't need to have an ancestor buried

In a heartfelt and significant gesture of generosity, an anonymous donor, who is an alumnus of San Bernardino High School, donated a six-figure worth of brand new athletic shoes to the entire student body of 1,700 students on May 23rd.

This remarkable act, facilitated by the nonprofit organization Shoes That Fit, aims

to address a critical need often overlooked in low-income communities.

The donation included high-quality athletic shoes from brands such as Nike, Adidas, and Fila, ensuring that every student at San Bernardino High School now has access to proper footwear. Additionally, each student received five pairs of socks, further enhancing their comfort and readiness for school activities.

"San Bernardino High School wants to express its deepest gratitude for this incredibly generous donation made by one of our alumni," said Principal Anna Sosa. "It is heartwarming to know that there are organizations like Shoes That Fit who are dedicated to supporting the community and ensuring that every individual has access to basic necessities. Your kindness and support mean the world to us, and we are truly

here to appreciate its significance. For those of us who do, it is sacred ground. We encourage everyone to visit, explore the records, and discover if they have a connection to this historic site."

The grand reopening on May 22, 2024, was attended by Supervisor Joe Baca Jr. and representatives from the office of Assembly Majority Leader Eloise Gomez Reyes. Baca Jr. expressed his gratitude, saying, "This project would not have been possible without the dedication of the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors and the support of our community. It is our hope that the restored cemetery will serve as a lasting tribute to the pioneers who shaped our region."

With approximately 2,000 burials, the cemetery

touched by your willingness to make a difference in the lives of our students. Your support will not only provide much-needed footwear but also instill a sense of dignity and confidence in some of our students who are not able to afford quality shoes."

For many students, having appropriate footwear is a necessity that cannot be met due to financial constraints.

This reality is starkly illustrated by the story of three siblings in the district who shared a single pair of shoes, taking turns attending school based on whose turn it was to wear the shoes that day.

"Many of our students have one pair of shoes to get through the entire school year. And between the weather, walking to and from school every day, their shoes are in disrepair. So we are just so thankful, so excited that Shoes That Fit came to San Bernardino High School," said SBCUSD Director of Communications and Community Relations MaryRone Goodwin.

The impact of inadequate footwear on students is profound, affecting their ability to attend school regularly, participate in sports, and engage in various childhood activities.

Shoes That Fit, a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Claremont, California, has been at the forefront of addressing this issue. The organization has delivered new athletic shoes to

holds significant historical value, although records exist for only about 1,000 of those interred. The newly implemented radar mapping aims to uncover more information, bridging gaps in historical knowledge and enriching the narrative of early settlers in the region.

The grand reopening of Agua Mansa Pioneer Cemetery marks a new chapter in its storied history, ensuring that the legacy of the pioneers who helped shape California will be honored and remembered for years to come.

over 164,000 children across 50 states last year alone.

"Shoes are important to kids. But good athletic shoes are expensive and when low-income families are forced to choose food and rent over shoes, children are left wearing shoes that hurt or embarrass them, and some kids skip school altogether," said Amy Fass, CEO and Executive Director of Shoes That Fit.

"We are so grateful to this private donor for meeting this need and investing in the lives of children by providing brand new shoes, making it possible for children to attend school, participate in sports, and enjoy everything childhood has to offer. Thank you for your continued partnership,” concluded Fass.

The initiative has not only provided essential footwear but has also instilled a sense of dignity and confidence in students at SBHS, making it possible for them to fully participate in school life.

San Bernardino Fires City Manager Charles Montoya After Eight Months Amid Controversies and Funds Mismanagement Allegations

By Manny Sandoval

In a decisive move, the City of San Bernardino has terminated City Manager Charles Montoya after just eight months on the job, appointing Deputy City Manager Rochelle Clayton as the acting city manager. The city council announced the decision on May 22, following a closed session vote that resulted in a 53 decision to end Montoya's $325,000 per year employment.

Montoya's tenure was marked by controversy and dissatisfaction within the community. On May 15, Finance Director Barbara Whitehorn was abruptly fired by Montoya. That evening, Whitehorn spoke before the City Council as a whistleblower, highlighting severe financial mismanagement concerning the City Hall renovation. She revealed that the renovation costs had ballooned from an estimated $80 million to about $120 million. Whitehorn stressed that the city lacked the funds to cover the increased debt service, which would require $10 million annually for the next 30 years.

Whitehorn’s termination and subsequent public comments underscored the community's growing discontent with Montoya. Dr. Treasure Ortiz, a San Bernardino resident and vocal critic, commended the council for addressing the issue. "I want to thank you Council for calling this meeting. This is important given what happened last Wednesday. And while the words of Barbara Whitehorn were extremely important and a dagger as to what has been going on, it really was the straw that has broken the camel's back. What we've seen over the last seven months, the community has not been happy with. Charles Montoya has lied to this community and he has lied to you."

Ortiz highlighted numerous allegations against Montoya, including withholding public documents, creating a hostile work environment, and diverting council priorities. "He has bullied and created a hostile work environment. Charles Montoya cannot remain as city manager any longer. I ask that you guys please fire him for cause. You have every reason not to let him walk away with hundreds of dollars of unearned San Bernardino taxpayer money. We know he's going to sue, he was fired for cause in Avondale and he still sued. Don't let that be the reason, fight for us, because you guys deserve better. Whether or not we as a community ever agree with you, what you don't do is come into San Bernardino, from outside of our city and act like you can overthrow us, like we don’t matter.”

Resident Ricky Van Johnson criticized the council’s initial decision to hire Montoya, pointing out several red flags from his previous roles. "Last year in October, the people requested that you do the right thing for the people you represent and not hire this individual for city manager. Why? Because he has too many red flags. He was a runner. Red flag. He was previously fired as a city manager. Red flag. He was being chased by lawsuits. Red flag."

Montoya's professional history includes multiple terminations and controversies:

Florence, Ariz. (2013-2015): Ousted by the town council amid accusations of conspiring to cover up corruption.

Watsonville, Calif. (20152018): Praised for business growth but criticized for chronic absenteeism.

Redlands Police Holding DUI Checkpoint Friday, May 31

Comunity News

The Redlands Police Department will conduct a driving under the influence (DUI) checkpoint beginning at 6 p.m. Friday, May 31, through 1 a.m. Saturday at an undisclosed location.

DUI checkpoint locations are determined based on data showing incidents of impaired drivingrelated crashes. The primary purpose of DUI checkpoints are to promote public safety by tak-

ing suspected impaired drivers off the road.

“Impaired drivers put others on the road at significant risk,” RPD Cpl. Martin Gonzalez said. “Any prevention measures that reduce the number of impaired drivers on our roads significantly improve traffic safety.”

The Redlands Police Department reminds the public that impaired driving is not just from alcohol. Some prescription medications and over-the-counter

drugs may interfere with driving. While medicinal and recreational marijuana are legal, driving under the influence of marijuana is illegal.

Drivers charged with a firsttime DUI face an average of $13,500 in fines and penalties, as well as a suspended license.

Assembly Approves Measures Aimed at Reducing Disproportionate Rates of Violence Against Native Americans

Community News

Three proposals to increase safety in California’s Indian Country and reduce the disparate numbers of Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP) are headed to the Senate this week as California works to reduce its fifth-highest in the nation unresolved MMIP case load. Assemblymember James C. Ramos (D-San Bernardino) authored the bills.

Ramos said, “In 2016 the National Crime Information Center reported 5,712 missing American Indian and Alaska Native women and girls in the U.S., but only 116 of those cases were logged by the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System. California is not alone in bearing the trauma of MMIP cases, but we have one of the highest numbers of uninvestigated and unresolved case numbers in the country. Despite state action in recent years to confront the violence and trauma to our families, we know we have much more to do. I am appreciative of the support of my colleagues and the administration in combatting the MMIP crisis.”

MMIP legislation now headed to the Senate are:

AB 1863 would require the California Highway Patrol (CHP) to develop policies and procedures related to the Feather Alert, a notification system similar to the AMBER alert used when Native Americans are missing and in danger. The Feather Alert took effect in January 2024 after passage of AB 1314 (Ramos, 2022). AB 1863 would also allow law enforcement agencies or tribal nations to request the alert, updates

the definition of danger to a person’s safety, and requires CHP officials to respond to the request for alert activation within 48 hours and provide written notice to the requesting entity if the request is denied. Ramos said the changes would help ensure an effective and responsive alert system.

He added the changes evolved after an informational hearing and discussions with tribes, law enforcement and CHP. It is cosponsored by Bear River of the Rohnerville Rancheria, Pechanga Band of Mission Indians and the Yurok Tribe.

AB 2108, the Luke Madrigal Act, requires a county social worker or probation officer to immediately notify parents or legal guardians, attorneys for parents, court-appointed special advocate, the court of jurisdiction and others when they receive information that children receiving child welfare services, including nonminor dependents, are missing from foster care.

Native American children enter the child welfare system at a rate that is 2.7 times their representation in the population, the highest of any racial group (AFDC 2020). National data shows that 85% of all missing Indigenous children over a 10-year period were endangered runaways. Runaways are especially vulnerable to becoming victims of crime. Luke Madrigal was a proud member of the Cahuilla Band of Indians and he grew up on the Soboba Indian Reservation. Madrigal was best known for giving his time, energy, and knowledge to help others, especially children. For six years, he served on his tribe’s

San Bernardino Police Department Holding Motorcycle Safety Enforcement Operation June 1, 2024

Comunity News

San Bernardino Police Department will have extra officers on patrol June 1, 2024, from 08:00 a.m. 8:00 p.m. looking specifically for violations made by drivers and motorcycle riders.

The top primary crash factors for motorcycles are unsafe speed, improper turning, rightof-way violations, driving under the influence and unsafe lane changes.

Speeding is the most common factor, accounting for nearly a third of all crashes in the state. To help protect you and your family, keep the following tips in mind while driving or riding:

Drivers

• Always check twice for motorcycles in your mirrors and blind spots.

• Use your signal when changing lanes.

council, and generously gave his time to the National Indian Child Welfare Association, Riverside County Tribal Alliance for American Indian Children and Families. Sponsors are the Yurok Tribe, California Tribal Families Coalition and Alliance for Children’s Rights.

AB 2138 would establish a three-year pilot project under the Department of Justice granting California state peace officer status to qualified tribes and the officers they employ. Participating tribes include Blue Lake Rancheria, Coyote Valley Band of Pomo Indians and the Yurok Tribe.

AB 2138 would require the Department of Justice (DOJ) to monitor, evaluate and support the program and allows DOJ to suspend or terminate participation in the program for gross misconduct or failure to comply with program requirements. Thirteen states and the federal government already grant peace officer status to tribal police. The Yurok Tribe and California Indian Legal Services are co-sponsors of the measure.

AB 2695 requires the DOJ to align its records and data with the federal National Incident-Based reporting system to assist law enforcement and others understand where criminal incidents related to MMIP are occurring and also include a notation indicating whether domestic violence incidents took place in Indian Country. AB 2695 is sponsored by Attorney General Rob Bonta.

• Never follow a motorcycle too closely. Always keep a safe distance.

• When at an intersection, allow enough space before turning.

Motorcyclists

• Always wear a DOT compliant helmet and protective gear.

• Consider adding reflective tape to make it easier for other drivers to see you.

• Always keep your lights on, even during the day.

• Don’t assume drivers see you: signal well in advance before changing lanes and watch for turning vehicles.

• Although lane splitting is legal, the practice is not encouraged at high speeds in free-flowing traffic. Funding for this program is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Chief Mark P. Kling said. “We want to stop impaired drivers and prevent a tragedy. Driving under the influence is dangerous and puts others on the road at risk.”

Rialto Police Department reminds the public that impaired driving is not just from alcohol. Some prescription medications and over-the-counter drugs may interfere with driving. While medicinal and recreational marijuana are legal, driving under the influence of marijuana is illegal.

If you plan on drinking or taking medications that may impact your ability to drive safely, stay home. Drivers charged with a first-time DUI face an average of $13,500 in fines and penalties, as well as a suspended driver’s license.

Over 600 Community Members Supported Mental Health Awareness at the 6th Annual Stand Up to Stigma 5k

Participants cross the starting line during the 2024 Stand up to Stigma 5k walk/run on Sunday, May 19.

Community News

Loma Linda University Behavioral Health hosted its 6th annual Stand Up to Stigma 5k event on Sunday, May 19, drawing over 600 participants. By participating in the event, staff, students, and community members of all ages showed their support for mental health services. 53738151475_21a60b0a49_c.jpg

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and events like the 5k help raise awareness and challenge stigmas surrounding mental health issues. According to the U.S. Cen-

ters for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 1 in 5 U.S. adults live with a mental illness.

Mental health conditions should be treated with the same care and support as other health concerns within the community, health experts say.

The family-friendly walk/run event highlighted the importance of addressing mental health within the community. Edward Field, MBA, vice president and administrator of the Behavioral Medicine Center, emphasized the importance of community involvement in des-

tigmatizing mental health care. "Recognizing the need for mental healthcare is just as vital as recognizing any other healthcare need,” he said. “Together, we can break down the barriers to seeking help," he said.

Talking about mental health isn’t always easy, but it’s important. If you or a loved one is struggling with anxiety, depression, or any other mental health condition, the Behavioral Medicine Center will work with you to begin the healing process while restoring hope for the future.

LOS SERVICIOS PARA EL ENVEJECIMIENTO EN CALIFORNIA

OFRECEN VALIOSOS RECURSOS A LAS PERSONAS MAYORES

Todo el mundo necesita ayuda de vez en cuando. Si tiene 60 años o más, puede que poco a poco vaya notando que sus necesidades van cambiando y se vuelven bastante específicas en esta parte de su vida. La red de servicios “para el envejecimiento” (para adultos mayores) de California ofrece una variedad de programas, servicios y ayuda para adultos mayores, personas con discapacidades y los familiares que les cuidan. Por ejemplo, es posible que prefiera seguir viviendo en su hogar, quedándose en su propia casa y siendo parte de su comunidad. Hay dos programas que pueden facilitarle las cosas: Uno ofrece ayuda para reparaciones en el hogar, transporte y atención adicional en su casa; el otro programa puede organizar programas de atención de salud y social, incluidos centros de día con actividades como arte y ejercicio. Estos programas pueden ayudarle a mantenerse independiente y a tener menos probabilidades de que necesite ir a un centro asistencial o asilo.

Alimentación y salud

Muchos californianos disfrutan de recibir comidas en su hogar, y muchos otros se reúnen para comer en grupo en centros para personas mayores, centros comunitarios y otros lugares para cenar en grupo. Si sus ingresos son limitados, puede obtener productos frescos, hierbas y miel en los mercados de agricultores que participan en el programa, así como beneficios alimentarios por medio del programa “CalFresh Expansion”. ¿Le confunden todas las opciones de seguro médico? Los voluntarios de un programa especial de asesoramiento pueden guiarle a usted y a su familia a entender mejor las muchas opciones de seguros de Medicare y de cuidados a largo plazo.

Cuidados

Si cuida de un adulto mayor o de una persona con discapacidad, puede encontrar apoyo en dos programas que ofrecen ayuda temporal en el hogar a los cuidadores, asesoramiento individual y en grupo, y ayuda con el papeleo y documentación. También hay ayuda para que las familias puedan crear planes de acción para personas con demencia y referencias para aliviar el estrés al que están expuestos los cuidadores. ¿Ha sido víctima de un intento de fraude, abuso de ancianos o discriminación por edad? Los Servicios Legales pueden ayudarle con estos temas, incluyendo asuntos relacionados con el Seguro Social, el Seguro de Ingreso Suplementario, el seguro médico, las pensiones y las tutelas y fideicomisos.

Empleo

Cada vez son más los californianos mayores que buscan trabajo. Si está buscando trabajo, puede que reúna los requisitos para recibir capacitación gratuita en diversos sectores. Incluso es posible que se le asigne un puesto de trabajo en una empresa que participa en nuestro programa. Todos estos servicios, y muchos más, se coordinan localmente a través de las Agencias Locales sobre Envejecimiento (Area Agencies on Aging). Encuentre la suya llamando a la Línea de Información para Adultos Mayores de California al 800-510-2020. También puede visitar aging.ca.gov para obtener más información.
