In one of its most honored traditions, the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians on December 3 celebrated Giving Tuesday, announcing on that date it is providing eight grants in an amount totaling $1 million to support recovery, conservation, and wildfire prevention efforts in the communities threatened by recent wildfires. The grants, aimed at helping restore and protect vital ecosystems, provide critical resources to local organizations and agencies working on the front lines of recovery, environmental protection, and community safety.
“Giving Tuesday is a day that calls upon us to reflect on the power of collective generosity,” said Lynn Valbuena, Chairwoman of the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians. “We are honored to support our 2024 grant recipients in their efforts to rehabilitate lands affected by the recent wildfires and invest in the long-term health of our communities and ecosystems. The San Manuel Band of Mission Indians is deeply committed to preservation and stewardship of the cultural and natural resources of the region.”
These grants are particularly significant as they come at a time when many of these regions are still recovering from devastating wildfires that have threatened homes, wildlife, and natural resources. In addition to providing financial support, the Tribe hopes to strengthen the resilience of these communities and protect the areas that are vital to both the environment and the people who live there.

Without batting an eye, the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors this week approved the reappointment of Michael Stoffel, who for last 22 months has served as Supervisor Jesse Armendarez’s deputy chief of staff to another four-year term on the county planning commission.
That appointment came less than a month following Stoffel’s third-place finish in the race for two positions on the East Valley Water District’s board of directors.
In addition to his two county positions, Stoffel is a Realtor® at Century 21, a company with which he is categorized as being a “top producer.”
While some county officials acknowledge that Stoffel may have involved himself in a triple conflict, those being between his function as a planning commissioner and his involvement in the real estate industry and his employment as a senior echelon county official and a member of the county planning commission, the county made no official notation of any possible clash that has previously or might come about in the future as a consequence of his holding the posts of Realtor®, deputy chief of staff and commissioner.
Stoffel was initially brought into Armendarez’s office shortly after the supervisor’s November 2022 election. On January 24, 2023, the board of supervisors ratified his hiring under a contract to serve as Armendarez’s “Principal assistant to the chief of staff,” in which capacity he was to “oversee a major functional area within the supervisor’s district, coordinate the work of office staff, and advise the supervisor on legislative, policy, and regional district issues” and “act as chief of staff in his or her absence.” Continue reading →

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: BRIAN CASEY KIEFFABER
CASE NO. PROVA2400972
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both of BRIAN CASEY KIEFFABER: a petition for probate has been filed by DAVID RAY KIEFFABER in the Superior Court of California, County of SAN BERNARDINO.
THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that DAVID RAY KIEFFABER be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.
THE PETITION requests full authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held January 21, 2025 at 9:00 a.m. at
San Bernardino County Superior Court Fontana District
Department F2 – Fontana
17780 Arrow Boulevard
Fontana, CA 92335
IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.
IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under Section 9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.
YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.
