It’s beginning to look as if Victor Valley College Trustee Joe Brady and I arehaving dueling ideas on how to prevent crime, but the truth is we aren’t, and thedifferences in ideas go to show how many possible solutions can be implementedto address not only violent crime as Mr. Brady suggests, but crime in general.

I reflected on my experiences working in the Criminal Justice System (Probation,Sheriff’s Department and District Attorney) and prepared a document called“Strategies to Prevent/Reduce Crime” with specific ideas I believe will make adifference.

Some of these ideas may already be in place. I’m suggesting that they — alongwith others — be codified into one document as a County Master Plan tocomplement existing strategies to address crime.

PREVENTION IDEAS

1) Launch a comprehensive public awareness campaign to stress continually andthrough all means possible that the public must remain vigilant, and must take tosteps to reduce the risk of becoming a crime victim. The public awarenesscampaign should be launched simultaneously, involving the governments ofAdelanto, Apple Valley, Barstow, Hesperia, Victorville and the First DistrictSupervisor.

2) Involve the San Bernardino Countywide Gangs & Drugs Task Force andutilize the expertise represented on the Task Force’s Board of Directors, whichincludes Business and Community, Community Based, Education, Faith Based,Family Outreach, Law Enforcement, Local Government, Prevention,Suppression and Treatment to help devise and implement additional crime-fighting strategies.

3) Each city/town government should vigorously enforce or establish a “crimefree rental program.”

4) Law enforcement should offer Neighborhood Watch and other crimeprevention presentations to service clubs, schools and any organization allowinga guest speaker; ensure a presentation for residents and one for business.

5) Encourage residents to report knowledge of criminal acts, including the use ofWe-Tip.

6) Solicit support from the local Chambers of Commerce to allow for crimeprevention presentations designed for business to support the public awarenesscampaign by disseminating crime prevention tips/messages via the Chambers’communications channels.

7) Start a campaign to encourage citizens to apply for concealed weapon permits.The public is vulnerable and at the whim of armed suspects. However, studieshave shown that states that disallow concealed carry have violent crime rates 11percent higher than national averages. Allowing concealed carry will give law-abiding citizens a better sense of security — and make criminals think twiceabout brandishing a weapon if they believe the potential victim may be armed.

ENFORCEMENT IDEAS

1) Law enforcement, media and other organizations should maximize thedissemination of information about We-Tip and how the public can use it toreport crime anonymously.

2) Each community (Adelanto, Apple Valley, Barstow, Hesperia, Victorville andthe First Supervisorial District) should establish a reward program (amount to bedetermined) to encourage tips about major crimes.

3) Law enforcement should establish a “Most Wanted List” of knowncriminals/suspects in each community — with widespread distribution to alertthe public and encourage contacting law enforcement.

OTHER IDEAS

http://www.vvdailypress.com/opinion/20170924/is-there-room-for-more-crime-prevention-ideas 3/3

1) Each city/town council and county supervisor should pass a resolutiondemanding that the Legislature amend laws that favor criminals.

2) The media should refrain from making any reference whether a crime was orwasn’t “gang related.” Although a crime may be gang related — and even if a gangisn’t identified — referencing the gang instills fear and creates the impressionthat gang-related crime is rampant. Acknowledging gang involvement alsoempowers the gang among their peers because gang members know whenthey’ve committed a crime and being acknowledged gives them bragging rights.

3) Similar to a voter registration drive, launch a petition drive asking residents todemand that the legislature amend laws that favor criminals.

4) The media should strive to refrain from disclosing detailed facts aboutcriminal acts — and only acknowledge basic facts (what crime was committed,when, where).

The Facebook Live meeting hosted by the Daily Press on Oct. 2 will give us allthe chance to learn what solutions will be discussed.

SAN BERNARDINO >> Free medical care for thousands of residents is coming in

the form of a health fair in October, the culmination of bi-national health week

and the beginning of what of�cials say will be a long health commitment.

The fair at Indian Springs High School, 650 N. Del Rosa Drive, will be Oct. 29 from

7 a.m. to 3 p.m., leaders of the Mexican Consulate in San Bernardino, San

Bernardino City Uni�ed School District and other institutions announced at a

news conference Monday.

“People cannot be whole if they cannot be healthy,” Superintendent Dale Marsden

said, adding that service providers would make sure to follow up about ‘the next

step’ with all of those they served. “When this fair is over, our commitment isn’t

over.”

Free medical examinations will screen for issues from asthma to diabetes to

mental health to cancer, along with dental screenings. There will

be health awareness and prevention activities and other community resources.

Other participants include Tzu Chi Foundation, City of Hope, UC Riverside, and

the consulates of Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Costa Rica.

The health fair is open to everyone, regardless of immigration status or country of

origin, organizers say. Free services will be provided on a �rst-come, �rst-serve

basis.

Several high-pro�le of�cials have con�rmed their attendance, according to

Salomon Rosas Ramirez, chief consul for the Mexican Consulate in San

Bernardino. That includes Mexico’s secretary of health, Dr. José Narro Robles; the

director general of IME (which stands for Institute of Mexicans Abroad in

Spanish); Ambassador Juan Carlos Mendoza; and Ambassador Carlos Sada,

undersecretary for North America of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Of�cials at an opening ceremony will also sign a commitment to health, said

Mexican Consul Jorge Leyva.

“We are certain that this will be the beginning of a more comprehensive

relationship with all of the community,” Leyva said.

BARSTOW — She’s been called a “drug dealer” by one community leader and anangel of mercy by hundreds of patients seeking relief.

Frances Schauwecker said she “educates the masses” about the benefits, trendsand business aspects of medical cannabis through her newly formed company,Mary Jane University.

“Our mission is to enlighten souls to the natural healing properties of cannabis,because there are far too many people who have and are suffering needlessly,”said Schauwecker, who lives in Barstow. “Our in-home classes allow people tofeel safe as they explore this alternative medicine alone or in a group.”

A former property manager, Schauwecker told the Desert Dispatch she left herformer career in 2015 to form a business where she could help others “bridge thegap” between curiosity and fear, and the discovery and enlightenment ofcannabis use.

“There are so many people that are stuck in this old Reefer Madness mindset,”said Schauwecker, who is married and has three children. “We provide a safeplace where these people can experience true relief through education and bygiving them a pleasant physical experience as they sample product. That’sprobably one of the best ways to destroy the old stigma that’s still around.”

The education component mainly includes Schauwecker traveling to a home andshowcasing a cannabis-based product or accessories to one or more adults. Shealso does educational classes at cannabis events and other venues.

Mary Jane University does not distribute cannabis product, but refers clients to“local and reputable” home delivery services.

“The key is to instruct our clients on the benefits of the product and todemonstrate how to use it,” Schauwecker said. “What we’re finding is that peoplenew to the industry are hungry to discover more about edibles, CBD, terpenes,oils and THC.”

The stigma of cannabis use is lessened when a group of people engage in theproduct together; it also allows patients to get familiar with the various brandswhile having fun, Schauwecker said.

“We also have many clients who used marijuana 40 years ago and are just nowdiscovering the medical benefits of this wonder plant,” Schauwecker said. “Theywent from just getting high in the ’60s to just getting healed in 2017.”

Schauwecker said she was first drawn to the medical benefits of cannabis over 10year ago when her mother was hospitalized for six months as she battled healthcomplications from diabetes.

“She passed away about nine years ago at 55 years old — she was so young,”Schauwecker said. “Like many, the stigma of cannabis kept her away fromsomething that could have helped her.”

With most of her business conducted in Orange County and the Victor Valley,Schauwecker is hoping Barstow will eventually allow cannabis-based businessesto obtain a permit.

“The City of Hesperia is considering my business permit application after theyrecently passed their ordinance,” Schauwecker said. “That would be a huge plusfor us and the people of the High Desert.”

Mary Jane University and “Papa & Barkley” is hosting the three-day GoldenCannabis Tour for the 55-plus community in Desert Hot Springs starting Oct.31.

The tour package includes tour bus transportation from Orange County, fivemeals, champagne brunch, sound bath, various workshops, access to spafacilities, a spa treatment, gentle yoga, art activity, grow facility tour, dispensarytour and other activities.

9/26/2017 Adelanto cannabis dispensary licensees: A list of familiar names

http://www.vvdailypress.com/news/20170926/adelanto-cannabis-dispensary-licensees-list-of-familiar-names 1/3

By Shea Johnson Staff Writer Posted at 9:26 AMUpdated at 9:26 AM

It was a short list to begin with when on Sept. 13, Elliottannounced only six applications had been received aheadof the next-day deadline.

ADELANTO — A subcommittee has directed the city manager to present fourbusinesses with coveted medical marijuana dispensary licenses as early asMonday, according to Mayor Rich Kerr, and the successful applicants are a list offamiliar names.

The Cannabis Permit Committee —which consists of Kerr, Mayor Pro TemJermaine Wright, City Manager Gabriel Elliott and two citizen appointees —met Friday in council chambers, short one citizen appointee, to mull theapplications received for four available dispensary permits.

It was a short list to begin with when on Sept. 13, Elliott announced only sixapplications had been received ahead of the next-day deadline.

But Elliott on Friday corrected that just five applications were received by thedeadline, and the other had come in tardy. A second applicant didn’t meet thecity-drawn requirements because they did not own or lease property.

With just four qualified applicants from which to choose, Kerr said by phone, “itactually made it easy for us.”

Kerr said permit recipients include Manny and David Serrano’s Jet Room;Frontier Enterprises subsidiary HDO Enterprises; a group led by LifestyleDelivery System CEO Brad Eckenweiler and Jerry Davis of the AdelantoGrowers Association; and a group out of San Francisco.

“It’s a big weight off my shoulders that this is done. This was really the last of theordinances and everything, and of the licenses,” he said. “This was the last of thebig ones. We have every (permissible cannabis activity) in Adelanto that thestate’s going through.”

Dispensaries were legalized here at the end of June for two zones, preceded bycity ordinances allowing commercial cannabis cultivation, manufacturing,transportation, distribution and testing.

Kerr said it was particularly significant that the cannabis to be sold in thesedispensaries will presumably be grown here too.

A relieved Kerr reached out to the Daily Press on Friday, shortly after themeeting ended, to detail its development, likely to be a celebrated talking point atWednesday’s City Council meeting.

During the Friday session, he acknowledged that permits could be expanded asthe population grows — city rules currently call for one permit per 8,500residents — or that city officials might even later lessen the threshold.

Officials noted that it was critical sooner rather than later to create the “meritlist” from received applications in order to give businesses every opportunitypossible to become operational by Jan. 1, when state authorities will beginissuing licenses.

While Wright said he examined applicants’ background, financial wherewithal,property ownership and ability to build, Kerr suggested he was equally keen onestablished relationships, which is clearly reflected in the deemed-qualifiedapplicants.

The Serrano brothers, through MJRX Corporation, had already invested at least$1.2 million into the long-abandoned Jet Room property, and another $40million in land purchases elsewhere in the city, according to Manny Serrano.

HDO Enterprises had provided $100,000 in grant money to nonprofits and isbuilding out a 30-acre industrial park — the largest in Adelanto history. The 21separated 30,000-square-foot units are valued at $7.5 million each, pushing theproject into $150 million-plus territory.

Frontier Communities, which is a subsidiary of Frontier Enterprises, like HDO,recently held a ribbon cutting for its new 65-home neighborhood in the city.

Meanwhile, the Adelanto Growers Association has routinely invested incommunity events, including as sponsors for food and school supply giveawaysand the city’s Christmas Parade.

An AGA logo even adorns Adelanto’s welcome sign along Air Expressway.

Davis is also president of CSPA Group Inc., which is planning to manufacturemedical cannabis strips here and ultimately seek to have their product FDA-approved. At their Adelanto cultivation facility, they boast enough seedling togrow roughly two million plants annually.

9/26/2017 In protest, Hesperia accrues $1.5M unpaid wastewater bill

http://www.vvdailypress.com/news/20170923/in-protest-hesperia-accrues-15m-unpaid-wastewater-bill 1/3

By Shea Johnson Staff Writer Posted Sep 23, 2017 at 6:46 PMUpdated at 12:36 AM

The extraordinary measure is meant to pressure theVVWRA board into resolving Victorville’s flowdiversion issue once and for all.

Hesperia has failed to turn over to the region’s wastewater agency at least $1.5million in ratepayer fees collected since January, instead opting to hold thebalance in a sequestered fund as protest to Victorville’s disputed diversion ofwastewater flows.

The extraordinary measure is meant to pressure the Victor Valley WastewaterReclamation Authority board into resolving the diversion issue once and for all,according to Hesperia City Councilman Russ Blewett. The board had filed a

rejected $8 million claim against Victorville over revenue it accused the city

of costing the agency since 2013.

Blewett, who sits on the agency’s joint powers authority, said board membershave been otherwise derelict in truly compelling a resolution to the issue, whichhas been a source of rivalry since 2013.

“The board has taken the Rodney King attitude, ‘Can’t we all just get along?’” hesaid. “Well, yeah, Victorville gets along because they’ve, frankly, been screwingthis agency.”

The four members of the agency’s joint powers authority — including Blewettand electeds from Apple Valley and Victorville, and a San Bernardino Countyrepresentative — have entered mediation to try to iron out the discord, butBlewett on Thursday didn’t believe it’d prove fruitful.

“It’ll be a miracle from heaven above, in my opinion, if we come to a meeting ofthe minds,” he said.

Blewett further suggested Hesperia city officials, who he claimed were onlywithholding portions of fees collected from ratepayers, would continue thepractice until the board agreed to sue Victorville over its flow diversion, which itmust decide whether or not to do by early next year.

He later softened to say that a resolution via mediation would also besatisfactory, but it was too late: Victorville City Councilman Jim Kennedy, thecity’s representative on the board, pounced and wondered aloud if Victorvillewas now being threatened with “extortion,” by a neighboring city no less.

But for Blewett — who said the Hesperia Council had made the decision to sit onwastewater fees behind closed doors without previously publicly disclosing it —the cost to the agency borne by Victorville’s flow diversion has been tooimpacting to Hesperia.

Steadfast the diversion violates the 2006 renewed agreement between the JPAwherein all flows were to be sent to the agency, agreeing with an appellate courtjudge’s advisory opinion earlier this year, he pointed to how it also stifled theagency’s ability to fiscally responsibly operate two subregional plants, one ofwhich is in Hesperia.

“The Council is withholding funds,” he concluded, “because we are not happywith what’s been done.”

The overall situation’s backslide now serves to compound issues swirling aroundthe wastewater agency, which faces extreme financial hardship and thepossibility that $32 million in emergency funding will be disallowed for a

completed pipeline replacement project.

Logan Olds, general manager for VVWRA, sought to clarify that the agency wasreceiving sufficient funds to bankroll operations and maintenance, but strugglingto pay off debts.

Hesperia’s withholding of fees, a sum of $1.52 million as of Aug. 8, according toan agency memo, has only worsened VVWRA’s financial outlook.

http://www.vvdailypress.com/news/20170923/in-protest-hesperia-accrues-15m-unpaid-wastewater-bill 3/3

“We must seriously consider the possibility,” Olds said, “that VVWRA willdefault on its debt.”

But Olds was also sharply criticized by Kennedy for only this month havinginformed board members of Hesperia’s outstanding balance when heacknowledged being aware since June. Chieko Keagy, the agency’s accountingsupervisor, said staff members informed Olds in May.

Hesperia’s actions will also likely lead to the board filing a claim against the cityto recover fees being withheld, officials said.

Apple Valley Mayor Scott Nassif, who sits on the board, was largely measured inhis reaction, drawing upon the two-wrongs-don’t-make-a-right cliche.

But mindful that rate hikes can be an option to close revenue gaps, Nassif alsopushed back against any notion he’d allow Apple Valley constituents to suffer forHesperia’s protest.

“Hesperia should pay the bill,” he said, “because they owe the damn bill.”

In 2009, Victorville agreed to finance and construct an industrial wastewatertreatment plant near VVWRA’s main plant to serve the Dr Pepper SnappleGroup facility at Southern California Logistics Airport.

The city added a domestic treatment module to the plant to blend industrialflows and treat the $32 million facility’s high-strength waste.

According to a copy of the claim filed by VVWRA and rejected by Victorvillecity leaders in August, the domestic sanitary flows used at the city’s plant wereflows that VVWRA used to receive from the city.

Kennedy called it an “outrageous suggestion,” however, that the city would owe$8 million for sewage that was never treated by VVWRA.

The Redlands Fire Department has been awarded $437,487 from the Department of Homeland Security’s Assistance to Fire�ghters Grant

program, according to a news release from Rep. Pete Aguilar, D-San Bernardino.

The department will use the funds to buy 64 new Self Contained Breathing Apparatuses to out�t the entire department and replace existing

equipment that is more than 15 years old, according to the release.

The funding will also cover the cost to train personnel on repairing and maintaining the equipment.

“I am glad to announce that the Redlands Fire Department will receive these funds, and am glad that they’ll be able to make much needed

upgrades to critical safety equipment,” Aguilar said in the news release. “Fire�ghters in our community put themselves in harm’s way in

the service of others, and they deserve access to the best equipment. Redlands �re has sent representatives to both of my last two grants

training workshops, so this is a department that is serious about using federal resources to help provide services for our local community.”

This grant announcement comes days a�er Aguilar’s announcement that the San Bernardino County Fire Department had received more

than $300,000 through the program.

Inland Empire �re departments recently had the opportunity to learn more about the federal grants process at Aguilar’s FEMA-AFG Grants

Workshop in January.

“We are most fortunate to have been awarded this much-needed grant funding. With this grant we will be able to put our �re�ghters in

state of the art protective equipment that will serve for the next decade,” Redlands Fire Chief Jeff Frazier said in the news release.

Railroad tracks go through downtown Redlands in this file photo.

Residents interested in the train station and transit-oriented neighborhood planned near the University of Redlands have two

opportunities this week to learn more.

The University of Redlands will be sharing more details about the project from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 27 and Thursday, Sept. 28 at

the Ann Peppers Hall (Art Center) on campus, 1200 E. Colton Ave.

The university, city and San Bernardino County Transportation Authority are planning the new station as a gateway to the campus and new

transit-oriented neighborhood on nearly 25 acres of land owned by the university, according to a letter from University President Ralph

Kuncl.

“We have engaged a team of professional planners, architects, engineers, and designers to assist us in preparing a preliminary conceptual

plan for University Village,” according to Kuncl’s letter.

The team, led by Creative Housing Associates, will conduct the meetings.

The University of Redlands station is one of four planned as part of the Arrow passenger rail service, which extends 9 miles from the San

Bernardino Transit Center to the university.

Stations are also planned for downtown Redlands, New York street near Esri and Tippecanoe Avenue in San Bernardino.

The project, commonly known as the Redlands Passenger Rail Project, is being led by the San Bernardino County Transportation

Authority. OmniTrans will operate the service.

The vision for University Village, Kuncl writes, is that of a contemporary, vibrant place to live, dine, shop, work and play.

“This includes thoughtful development of sustainable, pedestrian-friendly, mixed-use, civic and commercial spaces that simultaneously

enhance the economic vitality of the region and highlight the unique features of our community,” Kuncl’s letter reads. “Our goal is to create

a neighborhood enviornment that is highly complementary to our local community.”

Invitations and questionnaires were mailed to nearby households. Nearby residents are invited to share their ideas through the

questionnaires and during the community workshops, according to the letter.

BARSTOW — As Election Day nears, Barstow firefighters are ramping upefforts to support the “Yes on Measure J” campaign — but are battling resistancefrom another local firefighters union, who claim the campaign paints them in abad light.

The measure, expected to be on the special election ballot in November, willimpose a half-cent sales tax throughout the city if approved by voters. The fundswill be used to bolster the financially-strapped Barstow Fire Protection District,which has been struggling with increased retirement costs.

The half-cent sales tax hike could generate an estimated $3.8 million per year,with residents paying an average of $47 a year, according to city officials. Itwould be a special purpose tax, requiring two-thirds approval of Barstow voters.

Barstow Professional Firefighters Association president John Wymore, a BFPDcaptain, spoke about the measure during public comments at Monday’s CityCouncil meeting. He made strong statements against the San Bernardino CountyProfessional Firefighters Union, or Local 935, and their involvement with recentcampaign efforts against Measure J.

According to Wymore, the Local 935 union has “spent $40,000 to defeatMeasure J” because they hope to annex the BFPD into the County FireDepartment.

“In all my years of fire service, I haven’t heard of anything like this before,”Wymore said. “Brother firefighters against brother firefighters — it just blowsmy mind.”

Wymore then went on to explain that Local 935′s president told him he was“upset that we’re trying to get this passed on their backs.” He painted this asbeing motivated by the Barstow union’s statements regarding annexation.

“What he means by this is we’ve told you, the public, that if Measure J fails theCouncil will have no other option than to let your fire department annex toCounty Fire,” Wymore said.

Jim Grigoli, Local 935′s president, didn’t exactly deny Wymore’s statements,although he questioned the motivation behind them. He confirmed the union isagainst Measure J, but said annexation wasn’t the push behind it.

“That reason has nothing to do with us being against the tax measure,” Grigolisaid. “I believe they are hurting the San Bernardino County firefighters bymaking derogatory comments about County Fire and the parcel tax measure.That’s the only reason why.”

Grigoli explained that both unions had been in talks regarding the BFPD’sannexation into County Fire for the last two years, but things changed when thesales tax measure was presented. Grigoli said he spoke to Barstow’s firefighterunion about the measure, simply asking them to “keep us out of it.”

“I spoke to their association president and asked him not to use the parcel taxmeasure against us,” Grigoli said. “Sure enough, a week after I speak with himthere’s a statement in the paper that says ‘if you don’t vote for this sales taxmeasure, County Fire will bring in the parcel tax,’ which is simply not true.”

While acknowledging the union has contributed financially to anti-Measure Jefforts, Grigoli flatly denied Wymore’s assertion that Local 935 had spent$40,000 on the campaign.

“The $40,000 figure is false,” Grigoli said. “This has nothing to do with ‘big unionmoney.’ It’s just ridiculous what they’re posting and saying.”

Grigoli was referring to a post on the Barstow Professional Firefighters UnionFacebook page, which asked residents to vote for Measure J and “keep big unionmoney out of Barstow.”

“The county doesn’t just come in and decide to impose a tax on citizens; the CityCouncil would have to make that decision,” Grigoli said. “I’m completelyfrustrated by it because at the end of the day, we’re trying to get funding forCounty Fire to serve unincorporated county areas, and their comments hurt us.”

Wymore, however, stressed that the sales tax measure would overall be muchcheaper for Barstow residents, while maintaining much-touted local control. Helikened it to the Measure A tax passed last year in Apple Valley.

“They saved their fire district and now, look at them,” Wymore said. “They’vebeen able to open new fire stations and added new firefighters, which wedesperately need.”

Wymore’s passionate statements seemed to have resonated with the crowd atMonday’s meeting, with a few residents commenting on the need to support themeasure.

“We might have some differences of agreement with some of you on the CityCouncil, but at least we have a right to speak out,” longtime resident MikeHernandez said. “If the county takes over, would they even answer ourquestions? The main thing to me is, we need local control.”

9/26/2017 City Council reappoints Ziemer

http://www.vvdailypress.com/news/20170926/city-council-reappoints-ziemer 1/3

By Paola Baker Staff Writer Posted at 9:25 AMUpdated at 9:25 AM

BARSTOW — In a meeting dominated by Measure J campaign efforts, CityCouncil members voted to reappoint Planning Commissioner Andrew Ziemerduring last Monday’s meeting.

First appointed in 2013 for a one-year term, Ziemer was reappointed to serve afour-year term beginning in 2014. That term was expected to expire on Dec. 31,prompting the City Council to explore their options.

“Commissioner Ziemer said he would be honored to serve another term,” cityofficials said in staff reports.

The last item on the 12-item agenda, the decision was bumped up afterCouncilman Rich Harpole motioned to move it to the consent calendar, with therecommended action to reappoint Ziemer. That action was approvedunanimously.

The meeting began with a presentation by representatives with the BoronChamber of Commerce, who extended an invitation for the city to attend its “20Mule Team Days” fair on Oct. 7. The event will feature the eponymous team,performances by family band The Fulcos, and participation from area publicsafety officials, including Marines from the Barstow area.

With no public hearings scheduled, the Council then moved on to publiccomments, and Measure J was the topic of the night. Barstow ProfessionalFirefighters Association president John Wymore, a captain with the BarstowFire Protection District, spoke about the sales tax measure on the ballot in aspecial election in November.

http://www.vvdailypress.com/news/20170926/city-council-reappoints-ziemer 2/3

Wymore said that the San Bernardino County Professional Firefighters Union,or Local 935, is opposing the measure as they aim to annex the BFPD into theCounty Fire Department. He then compared Measure J to the parcel tax expectedto be imposed if the city leans toward annexation.

Wymore’s statements were bolstered by a recent anti-Measure J campaign in thecity, with Local 935 confirmed as opposing. Residents, however, also spoke outabout their misgivings with the anti-campaign.

“It’s troubling when I see money from outside be pushed into Barstow try toinfluence taxpayers in this community,” resident Mike Hernandez said. Anotherresident complained about the prevalence of “No on Measure J” signs recentlyposted, saying they were “on every corner.”

The meeting moved quickly after public comments. All items in the agenda,which included the ratification of city and BFPD expenditures, the approval oftemporary road closures for the upcoming Mardi Gras parade, and the approvalfor minutes of previous Council meetings, were approved unanimously.

The city also voted unanimously on an action to form a city Health and Safetycommittee, with Mayor Julie Hackbarth-McIntyre and Harpole appointed as cityrepresentatives. Meeting dates, times and locations will soon be determined.

Harpole ended the meeting with brief comments on his and Hackbarth-McIntyre’s recent trip to Sacramento for the California League of Citiesconference last week. He mentioned receiving new information that the citycould use to combat rising crime rates due to state legislation such as AB 109 andProposition 47.

“We’re not going to get a lot of movement with the state legislature on thoseissues, so they’re taking some small bites at it,” Harpole said. “It’s going to takesome research to see if some of these ideas might help us.”

The next City Council meeting starts at 7 p.m. Oct. 7. Visit www.barstow.org

APPLE VALLEY — Large peaches hung from hundreds of trees at McDonaldPeach Orchard as people from across the High Desert came ready to pick.

“Peach pickin’ season has arrived and we’re ready for more guests to stop by andtake home some beauties,” said Marge “The Peach Lady” McDonald, 77. “God hasblessed us with another good year and the orchard is open until the last peach ispicked.”

McDonald, a retired school teacher who was born in Apple Valley, said sheopened her orchard to the public on Saturday, adding that some of her peachtrees are so heavy with fruit, the branches have broken off.

“I always tell our guests the redder and oranger they are, the better the peachestaste,” McDonald said. “We’ll also have our peach stand available, where we’ll beselling jams, fruit salsa and peaches.”

McDonald said hundreds of guests flooded the orchard last year after the DailyPress ran a story about her 5-acre property where she planted 504 peach trees inthe ’90s to honor her parents who loved “the farming lifestyle, fruit trees andGod’s creation.”

“Because of the age of the trees and some clogged water lines, a handful of ourtrees didn’t make it,” McDonald said. “But we still have plenty of peaches. Youcan buy one peach or you can buy them by the bag, the box or even a lug.”

The peach orchard is located in a quiet neighborhood, sandwiched between theMojave River and The Church for Whosoever on Seneca Road in Apple Valley.

“Some people just like to come and walk among the trees, some come to read abook or to just enjoy God’s creation,” McDonald said. “This is a special place forlots of people”

McDonald said her grandparents moved from Germany to South Dakota in 1892and eventually to the High Desert about three decades later.

The family planted apple, peach, plum and apricot trees when they lived offStoddard Wells Road in Victorville. Later they built a home in Apple Valley,where they raised animals, planted fruit trees and grew alfalfa.

As a child, McDonald attended an elementary school on the corner of DeepCreek and Bear Valley roads in Apple Valley, and her parents worked at JessRanch Turkey Ranch off Apple Valley Road in the 1940s.

After graduating from Victor Valley High School in 1957, McDonald worked foran insurance company and married her late husband, Edward, and moved toMaryland for 25 years before return to the High Desert.

McDonald, who also has a home in Orange County, said she recently took sometime off from her “peach duties” to attend her 60th class reunion.

“The weather has cooled off, which makes a walk in the orchard a perfect fallevent,” McDonald said. “We’re hoping to see some old friends and meet somenew ones this year.”

Peach pickin’ tips and facts:

All visitors must sign a release of liability before entering the orchard Visitors should wear clothing they don’t mind getting dirty Climbing and shaking trees is not allowed Pets are not allowed Visitors cannot enter the property after dusk and when the gates are closed

Staff report |

JOSHUA TREE — The search for Rachel Nguyen, 20, and Joseph Orbeso, 21, has continued since the two disappeared July 27 in JoshuaTree National Park.

The two checked in July 26 at a Hi-Desert vacation rental, whose owner called the Sheriff’s Department after they didn’t return from a tripin the park.

Their Lexus was found outside the Maze Loop Trail in the national park on July 27, and park rangers said security footage shows the twodriving into the park at 6:45 a.m. that day.

The CBS affiliate in Palm Springs ran an interview Wednesday with Edward Wamhoff Jr., of Joshua Tree, who said he saw the visitorsfrom Los Angeles County after they were reported missing.

Wamhoff told News Channel 3’s Karen Divine that he saw Orbeso, Nguyen and another couple at an Airbnb across the street from hishouse sometime after they were reported missing.

A public affairs officer for the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, Jodi Miller, said Wednesday afternoon that investigators havefound no credible reports of sightings of the couple after July 27.

Early in the investigation, investigators found a second Airbnb where Orbeso stayed with a friend two weeks before the couple wentmissing, but there is no indication that Nguyen stayed there, Miller said.

“Any information our detectives receive, no matter what it is, they’re going to pursue it and find out if there’s anything that is new andcredible,” Miller said.

CHINO HILLS >> Fans of Which Wich Superior Sandwiches will be happy to hear a new location is opening in Chino Hills this fall.

The 1,500-square-foot-franchise is expected to open in the beginning of November at 3410 Grand Avenue, Suite C.

“I think the commitment to quality and the variety of meat, vegetarian and vegan options is really what makes Which Wich standout from the

plethora of sandwich concepts in Chino Hills,” said franchisee Jerome Brunnemer in an email.

The sandwich chain was founded in Dallas in late 2003. According to its website, there are only 20 locations in the state with the next closest

location in Upland.

It is no secret that San Bernardino has been going through dif�cult times over the past 25 years or so. However, with a renewed sense of

positive direction from our elected of�cials along with vast community support, we are now entering an exciting time of growth and

change that promises to revitalize our city.

Part of this exciting forward progress is to recognize our heritage.  And for the past 40 years, the San Bernardino Historical and Pioneer

Society has been doing exactly just that by preserving our city’s legacy through research, education and outreach.

This non-pro�t group is actually a combination of two organizations. The San Bernardino Society of California Pioneers (commonly known

as the Pioneer Society) was formed back in 1888 and the much “younger” San Bernardino Historical Society started in November 1977.

When the two groups merged in 1982, the combined efforts enabled them to move a Queen Anne Victorian home deeded to the Society by

Santa Fe Savings and Loan Association. This charming old home was built by Judge George Otis at 772 N. D St. in 1891 and was moved to its

present location at the southwest corner of 8th and D.

Inside the “Heritage House”— as its commonly known — are rooms beautifully furnished with items from the San Bernardino Valley’s

bygone days. As part of the restoration project, the Christian R. Harris Memorial Hall and research library was opened. A local pioneer

descendant, Harris was the last president of the old Pioneer Society as well as co-founder and �rst president of the newer group.

The complex houses a plethora of interesting relics, such as the �rst jail in San Bernardino County, a 127-year old limestone horse trough

and the bell from the original San Bernardino High School.

The San Bernardino Historical and Pioneer Society headquarters is open to the public on the �rst Thursday of each month at 7 p.m. for

lectures on local history. There is also an open house every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

This wonderful organization also includes the San Bernardino History and Railroad Museum, located inside the Santa Fe Depot (built in

1918) on 3rd Street. Included among the vast array of historic gems located inside this museum, which is open to the public every Saturday

from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m., — are the “Locomobile”— the �rst car in San Bernardino, Fire Department memorabilia such as the city’s �rst

hose cart (1878) and �rst hose wagon (1890), two 19th century horse-drawn buggies and several cabinets holding a potpourri of railroad

memorabilia.

The San Bernardino Historical and Pioneer Society has been instrumental in saving the Sturges Auditorium, the Santa Fe Depot and

smokestack and the old Mormon �ume (corner of 54th Street and Mt. View Avenue) which was constructed to divert water from Waterman

Canyon to Town Creek in 1855.

The Society played a major role in establishing historic markers throughout the city, devising interpretive plaques along the History

Walk in Seccombe Lake Park, co-hosting the Conference of California Historical Societies Spring Symposium in 2003, creating historical

exhibits at the annual National Orange Show and participating each year with the popular Old West-themed Harvest Fair.

A number of historical �eld trips to various sections of San Bernardino County and special events were either sponsored or co-sponsored

by the Society over the years. These included two off-road driving trips along the Mojave Road, two-day walk (and camp) treks along the

John Brown Toll Road in the Cajon Pass, exploring Salt Springs, Resting Springs and China Lake in the Mojave Desert; visiting Holcomb

Valley,  an annual tour of the beautiful Arrowhead Springs Hotel and grounds during the 1990s and a visit to the Galleano Winery in Mira

Loma. The most popular event of all has been hosting San Bernardino Railroad Days.

If you would like to �nd out more about San Bernardino County’s colorful past and heritage, the San Bernardino Historical and Pioneer

Society in conjunction with Mt. View Mortuary and Cemetery will be sponsoring another special event, the 4th annual Where The Past

Meets The Present: Historic Tour of Mt. View Cemetery, from 3 until 6 p.m. on October 21.

Those attending this fun as well as educational event are asked to donate $10.00 per person if they RSVP and send in fee by October 7 and

$15.00 per person a�er that date. For children 12 years old and under, the fee is $5.00. All proceeds will contribute as a fundraiser for the

Historical Society.

Although not mandatory, everyone is encouraged to dress in “1880s through 1940s” attire. We will have two trams that will accommodate

most of the attendees.

Mt. View Mortuary and Cemetery is located at 570 E. Highland Ave., in San Bernardino.

Returning home

Fire�ghters battling the 2,000-acre Canyon �re in Corona will carefully watch the

winds Tuesday as the blaze was burning 5 miles from the Anaheim city line,

�re�ghters said.

There was no current threat to the city, Anaheim Fire & Rescue said in a tweet.

Meanwhile, Corona residents began returning to their homes, the 91 Freeway

eastbound Green River Road offramp was closed Tuesday morning and several

more schools canceled classes.

And amid the chaos, a Corona motorcycle of�cer received minor injuries a�er he

was struck by a vehicle that skirted one of the barricades. The driver was arrested

on suspicion of felony hit-and-run.

The latest numbers on the �re show it only 5 percent contained, but there had

been no update as of 7 a.m. from �re of�cials.

“We came back around 11 p.m.,” said Mita Mizan, who lives on Hidden Hills Way

just south of Green River Road. “It was very close and very scary. I’ve never seen a

�re like this in this area.”

Mizan and her family — including her husband, mother-in-law and her two sons

— �ed their home around 8 p.m.

“There were police everywhere and �re�ghters,” she said Tuesday morning,

wrapped in a colorful shawl as she readied to take her 16-year-old for school.

“They said it was mandatory we had to  leave and my sons wanted to leave so we

did.”

Mizan said it was hard to leave her home of nearly 20 years but the heat from the

�ames that scorched the back yard of her neighbor’s home was enough to get her

and her loved ones out the door with only their most important documents and

possessions.

return �ames to their doorstep. Bishara was returning to pick up medication.

“It was very scary,” said Bishara, who was staying with her daughter, also a Corona

resident. “Like, we were in the middle. And the �re was all around us.

“Thank god we’re safe,” she continued. “And thank god to everybody who helped.”

keep students inside, according to a social media post by the school district.

City, county officials blame each other forgrowing hepatitis A outbreak

By Jeff McDonald

SEPTEMBER 25, 2017, 8:00 PM

inger-pointing started Monday over what appears to be a delayed response to the deadly hepatitis A

outbreak ravaging San Diego County, as public records to and from city and county officials began to be

released.

In one email from June, an officer at St. Vincent de Paul’s charity told county leaders that the city flatly refused

to install portable toilets and sinks to help control the spread of the virus, which has infected nearly 450 people

in recent months and killed 16.

“From my understanding, the city of San Diego has declined an opportunity to put portable toilets/wash

stations around the city because it wasn’t so long ago they were fighting other kinds of outbreaks by virtue of

the availability of portable toilets,” Ruth Bruland wrote June 30.

The city has a long history of warnings by the grand jury and others over the need for restrooms downtown,

where a growing homeless population has had to use other means to relieve themselves — contributing to the

current sanitation and health crisis. A concern that restrooms attract drugs and prostitution has been one

impediment.

The St. Vincent de Paul email was released by county spokesman Michael Workman after The San Diego Union-

Tribune asked him to respond to a batch of other emails released by the city under a California Public Records

Act request.

Those communications, hundreds of exchanges to and from city and county public officials, show the two

agencies discussing a multitude of responses to the public health threat and not implementing them broadly for

months — even as the death toll mounted.

Bruland did not immediately respond to questions about her email to county officials. According to Workman,

city officials early in the crisis did not act on certain matters as the preventable outbreak of the liver infection

hepatitis A grew more deadly by the month.

Many of the measures proposed involved better hygiene to avoid spread of the disease, which can occur when

tiny amounts of fecal matter are transmitted and ingested.

“May 4 we proposed the wash stations and city said no,” Workman said Monday. “Two weeks later we offered to

pay for them, still no.”

“June 28 they said they’ll consider a permit process but want us to pilot first on our properties,” he said. “(We)

placed one in July at Rosecrans,” where the county has offices for the Health and Human Services Agency.

Greg Block, a spokesman for Mayor Kevin Faulconer, said the city did not turn away wash stations.

“We never had any issues with the installation of hand washing stations, except they had to be self-contained

and in compliance with (permits),” he said.

Block said the city deferred in responding to the outbreak because the county has public-health experience the

city lacks.

“The county is our public health agency,” Block said. “They have the expertise on public health matters that the

city does not. As a result, we take our direction on public health issues from them.”

Block said the city’s reluctance to embrace new bathrooms downtown and in other areas where the outbreak is

most concentrated stems from previous experiences with public restrooms that have been well-documented.

“We have had issues with vandalism and illegal activities, causing complaints from residents and business

owners, leading many of them to be removed,” Block said. “The restrooms we have installed recently all have 24

hour security.”

The city and county installed 40 or more temporary sinks in at-risk communities earlier this month. Records

show discussion of the measure started as far back as June.

“We are waiting for the final description of what you envision the ‘handwashing’ stations will look like (e.g.

specifications) and locations that you may want to utilize,” Stacey LoMedico, the city’s assistant chief operating

officer, wrote to Deputy Public Health Officer Sayone Thihalolipavan in late June.

“I have our development services department staff on standby so they can provide us the requirements (e.g.

permit(s)) that may be needed to install in the public (right-of-way),” she added.

Thihalolipavan replied just 10 minutes later, saying the idea was still in development.

“It is only in planning phase right now and once we get with the contractor and get those details we can

definitely pass them along of course,” the county public health official wrote back.

In another email exchange this spring, city officials were asked for information about suspected hepatitis A

patients treated by San Diego Fire-Rescue teams but held off until the county could provide a list of specific

names.

“I wanted to check on status of the request from (county Health and Human Services Agency) re: EMS patients

who may have contracted hepatitis A,” Dr. James Dunford, the city emergency medical services director, wrote

to two fire officials May 31. “Were we able to provide a report to Dr. (Wilma) Wooten?”

Deputy Fire Chief Gina La Mantia replied three hours later, telling Dunford that another city worker was

awaiting the list from the county of specific patients the county was seeking data about.

Block said Monday that the city responded to and acted on all directives from the county immediately.

“On May 23 fire department staff reached out to county health letting them know they needed (specific) patient

information,” Block said. “The info was provided to the fire department on June 5. We responded on June 6.”

Top officials from the city and county also spent weeks discussing something as simple as posters for a public-

awareness campaign.

The outbreak was identified in March, the posters were first discussed in June and they weren't deployed until

August.

By that time, 10 people were dead and more than 200 had been hospitalized.

“The ad campaign started this week and we have some posters printed,” Thihalolipavan informed LoMedico on

Aug. 17. “I’m bringing some today to regional task force meeting where I’m presenting.”

The county public health official asked how many posters the city wanted and where they should be delivered.

The city official wrote back suggesting 150 posters to start. She said the city would display them at city

recreation centers, libraries and other public spaces.

“I believe it is the same poster/flyer that was shared with me a few weeks ago,” LoMedico said, referencing the

time that had passed since the project began.

By late August, as hepatitis A cases began generating more headlines, the city and county committed to

installing 40 or more temporary sinks in places where at-risk people congregate. There was further discussion

of where they would be placed and who would be responsible for maintaining them.

“Please attach Exhibits A and B to the document and have it executed (see attached),” San Diego engineering

official Greg Hopkins told the county Aug. 30. “Please make sure to add the additional sheet to Exhibit A that

indicates the maintenance criteria and send it back to me.”

The next day, Wooten, the county public health officer, told LoMedico that the list of places where the sinks

were scheduled to be installed had been completed but that some changes may still be made.

“Teams went out to assess the sites, some locations will be removed and others will be added,” Wooten wrote.

“We will provide you a full list tomorrow morning after our Hep A meeting.”

LoMedico alerted a number of city officials, including Gerry Braun and Mary Nuesca from the City Attorney’s

Office, which apparently was asked to sign off on the specific placements on city property.

“Making sure you are aware of the change of plans by county,” LoMedico wrote. “Gerry/ Mary - you are on here

as we discussed that we need a letter/ approval for them to put into the parks/ city property asap. I have yet to

hear back on that request.”

Hepatitis A is being spread person-to-person, county health officials said, in large part due to the lack of

bathrooms and proper sanitation among the homeless community that lives in makeshift shelters on the streets

and alleys downtown.

The San Diego outbreak is easily the worst in the United States since the 1990s.

That’s when a newly developed vaccine helped drive down the number of reported cases from tens of thousands

a year to fewer than 1,300 in 2015, the most recent year for which federal statistics are available.

9/26/2017 Death toll from West Nile climbs to 7 in L.A. County, officials say - LA Times

Death toll from West Nile climbs to 7 in L.A. County, officials say

By Soumya Karlamangla

SEPTEMBER 25, 2017, 3:40 PM

os Angeles County health officials warned residents Monday to protect themselves against the mosquitoes that transmit West Nile virus, as the

number of people killed by the disease in L.A. County this year reached seven.

The department launched a campaign Monday called “It’s Not Just A Bite” to try to raise awareness about mosquito-borne diseases, including

West Nile.

Though most people with West Nile virus don’t have symptoms, a small number experience paralysis and brain damage that can be permanent or fatal.

People who are at least 50 years old or have compromised immune systems are the most likely to suffer from these severe consequences, experts say.

L.A. County health department officials reported six deaths this year so far. A resident of Long Beach was also killed by West Nile this year but was not

included in the tally because the city has its own health department. State data show that there have also been two West Nile deaths in Yolo County and

one each in Kern and San Bernardino counties.

Anyone can contract West Nile, and September is typically when most cases occur in L.A. County. The virus is transmitted to humans through a mosquito

bite.

So far, 98 cases have been reported to the L.A. County health department, but the actual number infected is probably much higher because most people

don’t have symptoms and wouldn’t go to a doctor to get tested, experts say.

Most of the cases reported were serious. Health department data show 74 cases of encephalitis or meningitis — a swelling of the brain or the lining of the

brain — and five cases of paralysis.

Health officials say there are mosquitoes that transmit West Nile throughout the county. But cities where people are already infected are most likely to

have more cases.

West Nile cases have been reported in the San Gabriel Valley, Antelope Valley, the Pomona area, Torrance, the San Fernando Valley, Glendale and Los

Feliz. Testing shows that there are abnormally high numbers of mosquitoes carrying West Nile in Glendale, Los Feliz, Atwater Village and Elysian Valley,

he said.

Experts recommend wearing insect repellent when outside, especially at dawn and dusk when the mosquitoes that spread West Nile are most active.

Homeowners also should clear out standing water from flower pots or fountains, which can breed mosquitoes, and make sure to check their pool pumps

are working so there isn’t stagnant water in which insects can breed.

One in �ve Californians live in poverty, according to a new U.S. Census Bureau report.

Using the Supplemental Poverty Measure, which accounts for regional cost-of-living, the average poverty rate in California from 2014

through 2016 stood at 20.4 percent, the highest among the states and second only to the District of Columbia’s 21 percent average. The

national average over that period of time was 14.7 percent.

Despite boasting one of the largest economies in the world, California has consistently topped national rankings of poverty. While the state

only accounts for about 12 percent of the national population, for example, Californians comprise one-third of Temporary Assistance for

Needy Families bene�ciaries.

One of the largest factors driving California’s shamefully high poverty rates is the high cost of housing.

According to a dra� report on the housing crisis by the California Department of Housing and Community Development, “production

averaged less than 80,000 new homes annually over the last 10 years, and ongoing production continues to fall far below the projected need

of 180,000 additional homes annually.”

As a result, homeownership rates are at the lowest they’ve been since the 1940s, as increasing proportions of renters �nd themselves rent-

burdened. According to the California Budget & Policy Center, more than half of renter households pay more than 30 percent of their

incomes for housing, and one-third pay more than half of their incomes for housing.

This situation, which also contributes to California’s unfortunate distinction of being home to approximately 22 percent of the nation’s

homeless population, has imposed signi�cant hardships on millions of people across the state, and exacerbated California’s high poverty

rate.

State legislators have thus far focused primarily on advancing proposals to spend more taxpayer funds on housing. Instead, we encourage

state lawmakers to focus their efforts on better streamlining housing construction, with a focus on removing unnecessary barriers thrown

up by the California Environmental Quality Act, which, among other things, is all too o�en used as a tool by NIMBYs to block

developments.

Aside from housing, it can’t be ignored that, in addition to having one of the largest economies in the world, California also happens to

have some of the highest tax rates in the country, and some of the least business-friendly policies on top of that.

In a recent WalletHub report on overall tax burdens, California ranked 10th-worst in the country. Meanwhile, the Tax Foundation ranked

California 48th in its 2017 State Business Tax Climate Index due to California’s distinction of having some of the highest income, sales and

corporate tax rates in the nation.

Unsurprisingly, California is perennially ranked as one of the worst states in the country in terms of perceived business friendliness. This

year, the state again ranked dead last — as it has for the past 13 years — in a survey of hundreds of CEOs by Chief Executive magazine on

measures of business friendliness, with the state ranked the worst in the taxation and regulation category.

Taken together, California’s barriers to business will, in turn, harm the poor the most. If California wants to seriously address its high levels

of poverty and factors aggravating it, like high housing costs, it must relinquish its commitment to excessive taxation and regulation.

9/26/2017 Riverside Main Library design, $40 million budget head back to council – Press Enterprise

Riverside of�cials will make another try Oct. 3 at approving the design for the new Main Library, which raised concerns earlier this month

because of its higher than expected cost.

The $40 million design didn’t get the four-vote majority required for approval on Sept. 5 – the City Council split 3-3 – but the Ward 7 vacancy

has since been �lled by the appointment of former councilman Steve Adams.

The new library was originally projected to cost $30 million. City management proposed shi�ing the other nearly $10 million from a

planned $45 million police headquarters by eliminating holding cells from the facility, which has not yet been designed.

The council will discuss the Main Library project at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 3, in the council chambers at Riverside City Hall, 3900 Main St.
