By a 5 to 1 vote, the Needles City Council Tuesday night approved a new medical marijuana ordinance that will allow both marijuana dispensaries and marijuana cultivation facilities to operate within Needles city limits.
Needles formerly had the most liberal marijuana policy of any of San Bernardino County’s 24 cities. After temporarily losing that distinction, the city has regained it.
Proposition 215, or the Compassionate Use Act of 1996, was enacted on November 5, 1996 by means of the initiative process, passing with 55.6 percent of the vote statewide. It allows for the use of marijuana for medical purposes, but leaves open to local authorities the question of whether its sale is to be licensed and permitted in individual cities and jurisdictions. Most cities in the state have resisted permitting operations producing the plant or dispensing it. In San Bernardino County there was pretty much uniform resistance to permitting businesses engaged in the medical marijuana trade.
On November 26, 2012, voters in Needles approved the adoption of the Marijuana Business Tax Ordinance and authorized the collection of a marijuana business tax of up to 10 percent of gross receipts. In December 2012, the Needles City Council set the marijuana business tax at the maximum 10 percent. The current tax ordinance places a 10 percent “gross receipts” tax on all “marijuana businesses” operating with the city.
Thereafter, a number of entrepreneurs began transacting business as marijuana purveyors in Needles, putting the city at the forefront of San Bernardino County cities with respect to allowing the sale of medical marijuana. In this way, Needles enjoyed the distinction, dubious or positive depending on one’s personal perspective, as the marijuana capital of the largest county in the lower 48 states. In December 2014, with prospective marijuana operation applicants threatening to burgeon into the dozens, the city drew the line on the number of dispensaries it would allow, restricting the number to the five then functioning with fully legal permits.
Two months ago, in November, Needles lost the earmark of being San Bernardino County’s primary extoller of cannabis at least temporarily, when Adelanto, which ranks along with Needles as one of the most impoverished cities in San Bernardino County, legalized marijuana cultivation within its industrial parks. In doing so, Adelanto continued to ban retailing marijuana, that is, direct sale of the drug to end users, calculating the city stood more to gain financially by wholesaling large quantities of the product to retailers outside of the city.
Along with the state legislature’s passage and the governor’s signing of the Medical Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act, Adelanto’s action served as a wake-up call to Needles officials, who recognized that they would need to adapt the city’s existing protocols, allowances and regulations with regard to marijuana to a changing standard if the city was to exploit the availability of the drug in its community as a way of bolstering municipal finances.
The Medical Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act, an amalgam of AS 243, AB 266 and SB 643, which passed both houses of the legislature last year, is set to go into effect on March 1.The bills put in place a revamped set of regulations for physicians who recommend or prescribe marijuana for their patients and they lay down licensing requirements for the cultivation, distribution and transportation of medical marijuana, together with safety and testing requirements for the drug.
At its December 8, 2015 meeting, the Needles City Council considered a revamped ordinance pertaining to medical marijuana but held off on passing it to make further adjustments. That ordinance was tweaked and brought before the council this week, on Tuesday, January 12.
Perhaps the most significant alteration is that the new ordinance codifies the permitting of marijuana cultivation facilities, allowing only the five existing dispensaries to expand their operations to include growing the product they sell. In addition, the new ordinance layers in a redundancy of zoning, permitting and licensing mechanisms to ensure the city will make a significant amount of money from its hosting of such operations.
The ordinance passed on Tuesday provides that marijuana businesses as defined must obtain a marijuana business license for the particular purpose[s] they seek to operate, which involve either a cooperative/collective license and a marijuana cultivation license, or both; as well as a zoning permit or conditional use permit; and a city business license. The ordinance further requires that once the state begins issuing permits/licenses for commercial marijuana activities, the marijuana business must also obtain a state permit or license.
The ordinance defines two types of marijuana businesses at this time to be permitted to operate within the city, one being what is called “cooperatives/collectives,” i.e., dispensaries where direct retailing of the drug is to take place and the second being cultivation facilities.
The ordinance states, “All cooperatives/collectives that are in existence, open and operating within the city as of December 25, 2014 shall file an application with the city for a cooperative/collective license in order to operate a cooperative/collective within the city. Each cooperative/collective that is in existence, open, and operating within the city as of December 25, 2014, and which applies for and obtains a cooperative/collective license, may file an application for a marijuana cultivation license to operate a cultivation facility within the city.”
State law defines four types of cannabis operations: cultivation, manufacturing, retailing and testing. A provision of state law is that an operator of a testing facility for marijuana cannot have any other form of marijuana related license to avoid a conflict of interest. Marijuana-related operation license holders not involved in testing can have only two licenses. Thus, the new Needles ordinance passes muster with state law. That is, clinic operators are permitted under the Medical Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act to function as marijuana cultivators as well.
The city’s action on Tuesday extended only to allowing cultivation and dispensary activity. It did not pertain to manufacturing or testing, operations that officials claimed do not fall under the same March 1 deadline set by the state for establishing marijuana operation permits. Under the provisions of Medical Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act, in cities where a municipal ordinance pertaining to medical marijuana is not in place by the March 1 deadline, state regulations will apply. Though city officials indicated permitting and regulation with regard to cannabis testing and manufacturing related types of operations may be codified in the future, their exclusion was the purported reason for the sole “no” vote to the ordinance. That vote came from councilman Shawn Gudmundson, the same councilman who moved to table the ordinance in December to make sure language was included that would limit cultivation of marijuana only to the existing dispensary operators.
The terms of Needles’ new ordinance is not without controversy. As worded, the only entities permitted to make an application to establish a cultivation operation are existing dispensaries. For many, this seems to confer something approaching a monopoly upon those who met the city’s time deadline to establish a collective. City staff justified this by stating in a report, “The provisions in the proposed ordinance allowing only existing cooperatives/collectives to apply for a marijuana cultivation license is modeled after the marijuana ordinance adopted by the City of Palm Springs, California, on June 17, 2015.” No further rationale for that provision is provided.
In presenting the ordinance, officials repeatedly spoke of “five” existing dispensaries. It has been reported that there were five dispensaries on December 25, 2014, but it is generally agreed that one of those, Paradise Wellness, has not been operating a dispensary on the California side of the Colorado River for well over 90 days and thus has defaulted on its business license.
The city appears to have established marijuana business-related franchises in granting permission for the five “existing” businesses to continue while prohibiting others. This has led to insinuations that Needles City Manager Rick Daniels is involved in some order of a conflict of interest in that he has held the door open for one of the city’s formerly licensed operations, Paradise Wellness, to set up a sizable cultivation operation. That operation would run to some 20,000 square feet, theoretically generating upwards of $15 million in revenue per year. According to one report, Daniels consulted exclusively with Paradise Wellness concerning cultivation plans and publicly announced that he had toured its current cultivation site in Arizona along with planning commission chairwoman and ex-council member Linda Kidd and councilman Tom Darcy.
Without directly stating so, individuals about town have implied that Daniels has some order of interest, financial or otherwise, in Paradise Wellness. They allege that Paradise Wellness in Needles is a shell operation, and has not actually done any business for much of last year. Yet, they suggest, by keeping Paradise Wellness active on paper, Daniels has conferred upon its owners a highly lucrative marijuana cultivation operation in California.
Daniels and the city have fanned the flames of this controversy by refusing to publicly provide Needles’ medical marijuana tax collection records, which would show whether Paradise Wellness is indeed a going concern.

Is Nakasia James a hotblooded murderess? Or was she acting in self defense? That has yet to be determined. San Bernardino Police investigators are still searching for the 18-year-old woman after she admittedly stabbed her boyfriend, 21-year-old Dorian Powell, to death early Monday morning and then posted about it on Facebook.
An all points bulletin has been issued for James, who remains at large.
The circumstances of the killing, which took place inside an apartment in the 2000 block of North Central Avenue in the county seat, are up for debate.
What is known about the unfortunate twist of events comes primarily from James herself. A post on her Facebook page gave this account: “Just goin tell ya nw b4 I get caught, last night my ex was drunk off ej&& was fighn me, hit mee in the face and he was really fightn and I gt the knife and stabbd him and ddnt think I would hurt him BT I did he died and I’m on the run pigs lookin for me BT god knows I didn’t mean to stab him I was mad AF he socked me in my eyes and just picked sumthin up. BT sorryy lord hopefully u forgive me! And sorry Dorian Powell rip [entire passage sic]”
Later on Monday, James also posted: “Ilove always love dorian brent tyrome powell [sic].”
When authorities arrived at the apartment, James was gone. Powell was pronounced dead at the scene. His was San Bernardino’s third homicide of the year.
James is now wanted on suspicion of murder. At the same time, police have acknowledged that there is evidence that prior to Powell’s death the couple had been involved in a domestic altercation which had turned violent. In both the American and foreign press, there has been speculation that James’ stabbing of Powell was or may have been a justifiable homicide.

doggerel: noun dog•ger•el :poetry that is poorly written and that often is not meant to be taken seriously –Merriam-Webster
Someone has just gotten on my wrong side. I was declaiming one of my favorite poems, “The Shooting of Dan McGrew,” which was written by Robert Service, when one of those I had related this poem to insisted on referring to it as “doggerel.” Needless to say, I was offended. I will omit mention of the name of the person that made this rather caustic, and in my view, erroneous characterization of the poem, which was written in 1907, a few years after the author had spent some time in the Klondike during the Alaskan Gold Rush…
Robert Service, I am informed, was the most commercially successful of all of the poets of the 20th Century. Nevertheless, he is held in relatively low regard by most scholars. They want poetry to be difficult to read and even difficult to understand. By their standards, the more opaque, the more obscure, the more impenetrable, the more reliant on vague and long-forgotten literary or other cultural allusions, then the better poetry is. Well, I’m not as wise as those scholar guys, and I admit to enjoying T.S. Eliot and William Butler Yeats and Percy Bysshe Shelly, but strictly between you me, dear reader, I like to read things that are immediately accessible and which I can understand….
So, without any further ado, here is Robert Service’s “The Shooting of Dan McGrew.” Any readers so inclined can let me know what they think: Is this poem indeed “poorly written?” Write to me in care of the Sentinel…
A bunch of the boys were whooping it up in the Malamute saloon;
The kid that handles the music-box was hitting a jag-time tune;
Back of the bar, in a solo game, sat Dangerous Dan McGrew,
And watching his luck was his light-o’-love, the lady that’s known as Lou.

When out of the night, which was fifty below, and into the din and the glare,
There stumbled a miner fresh from the creeks, dog-dirty, and loaded for bear.
He looked like a man with a foot in the grave and scarcely the strength of a louse,
Yet he tilted a poke of dust on the bar, and he called for drinks for the house.
There was none could place the stranger’s face, though we searched ourselves for a clue;
But we drank his health, and the last to drink was Dangerous Dan McGrew.

There’s men that somehow just grip your eyes, and hold them hard like a spell;
And such was he, and he looked to me like a man who had lived in hell;
With a face most hair, and the dreary stare of a dog whose day is done,
As he watered the green stuff in his glass, and the drops fell one by one.
Then I got to figgering who he was, and wondering what he’d do,
And I turned my head — and there watching him was the lady that’s known as Lou.

His eyes went rubbering round the room, and he seemed in a kind of daze,
Till at last that old piano fell in the way of his wandering gaze.
The rag-time kid was having a drink; there was no one else on the stool,
So the stranger stumbles across the room, and flops down there like a fool.
In a buckskin shirt that was glazed with dirt he sat, and I saw him sway;
Then he clutched the keys with his talon hands — my God! but that man could play.

Were you ever out in the Great Alone, when the moon was awful clear,
And the icy mountains hemmed you in with a silence you most could hear;
With only the howl of a timber wolf, and you camped there in the cold,
A half-dead thing in a stark, dead world, clean mad for the muck called gold;
While high overhead, green, yellow and red, the North Lights swept in bars? —
Then you’ve a hunch what the music meant. . . hunger and night and the stars.

And hunger not of the belly kind, that’s banished with bacon and beans,
But the gnawing hunger of lonely men for a home and all that it means;
For a fireside far from the cares that are, four walls and a roof above;
But oh! so cramful of cosy joy, and crowned with a woman’s love —
A woman dearer than all the world, and true as Heaven is true —
(God! how ghastly she looks through her rouge, — the lady that’s known as Lou.)

Then on a sudden the music changed, so soft that you scarce could hear;
But you felt that your life had been looted clean of all that it once held dear;
That someone had stolen the woman you loved; that her love was a devil’s lie;
That your guts were gone, and the best for you was to crawl away and die.
‘Twas the crowning cry of a heart’s despair, and it thrilled you through and through —
“I guess I’ll make it a spread misere”, said Dangerous Dan McGrew.

The music almost died away … then it burst like a pent-up flood;
And it seemed to say, “Repay, repay,” and my eyes were blind with blood.
The thought came back of an ancient wrong, and it stung like a frozen lash,
And the lust awoke to kill, to kill … then the music stopped with a crash,
And the stranger turned, and his eyes they burned in a most peculiar way;
In a buckskin shirt that was glazed with dirt he sat, and I saw him sway;
Then his lips went in in a kind of grin, and he spoke, and his voice was calm,
And “Boys,” says he, “you don’t know me, and none of you care a damn;
But I want to state, and my words are straight, and I’ll bet my poke they’re true,
That one of you is a hound of hell. . .and that one is Dan McGrew.”

Then I ducked my head, and the lights went out, and two guns blazed in the dark,
And a woman screamed, and the lights went up, and two men lay stiff and stark.
Pitched on his head, and pumped full of lead, was Dangerous Dan McGrew,
While the man from the creeks lay clutched to the breast of the lady that’s known as Lou.

These are the simple facts of the case, and I guess I ought to know.
They say that the stranger was crazed with “hooch,” and I’m not denying it’s so.
I’m not so wise as the lawyer guys, but strictly between us two —
The woman that kissed him and — pinched his poke — was the lady that’s known as Lou.

Alva B. Cowgill was a key figure in the development of the citrus growing interests in Redlands and, more important still, in the marketing of the product he and other growers in the area grew.
Alva Byron Cowgill was born at Spencer’s Station in Guernsey County, Ohio, on February 9, 1856, and his parents, P. C. and Ellen (Spencer) Cowgill, were also natives of the Buckeye state. His father was a merchant. Their four children were Alva, Charles, Ella and Grant, all of whom lived into the 1920s, except for Grant, who died at Oskaloosa, Iowa.
Alva was eight years old when his father left home to serve in the Civil war and nine when Lincoln was assassinated.
Alva B. Cowgill lived an involved and busy life practically from the earliest stages of his childhood. On his way to school he attended to the opening of his father’s store in the morning, then put in the regular hours at his studies, and after being dismissed from class, clerked until closing time. Later for three years he was clerk and assistant in his father’s business, and then for five years was ticket and freight agent with the Baltimore and Ohio Railway. In 1879, Cowgill, after finishing a course in a business college, entered the old firm of Graham, Bailey & Company, wholesale and retail druggists at Zanesville, Ohio. He became an accountant, making $40 a month. He learned the business as well as the routine of its accounting system, and at the end of three years had become a part owner. About that time the business was incorporated as the Bailey Drug Company. Mr. Cowgill for eight years was the head traveling representative, and was then called back to the general offices and made manager and treasurer.
Mr. Bailey in the meantime had accumulated extensive banking interests and turned over practically the entire executive management of the business to Cowgill. This proved a wised decision on Bailey’s part, as the business prospered under Cowgill’s management.
For eleven years Cowgill devoted himself wholly to the interests and welfare of the business, and at the end of that time found his health so impaired that it was imperative he seek outdoor employment. In the meantime he had achieved financial security, represented in his holdings of stock in Bailey’s successful drugstore.
Selling out his business at Zanesville, Ohio, Cowgill came to Los Angeles in 1901 and spent some time investigating the various areas of Southern California. His first purchase was a 20-acre orange grove in the Redlands district, and later he bought 16 acres of unimproved land, 10 acres of which he set to Washington navels and 6 acres to grapefruit. For five years he lived on this land and worked outside in cultivating, planting, pruning and caring for his trees. He had his groves in a most satisfactory condition and, even better, his health and strength were completely restored. He then sought an opportunity again to connect himself with some of the broader commercial work for which his previous training had so well qualified him. He therefore became one of the two principals, the other being Arthur Gregory, in the organization of the Redlands Mutual Orange Company in 1906, and after its organization became its secretary and general manager.
By the 1920s the Redlands Mutual Orange Company was one of the leading growers’ marketing organization in the Redlands district. In 1906, the Mutual Orange Distributors, a co-operative selling organization was also organized, and Cowgill served as its secretary and director. In no small degree the strength and efficiency of those organizations depended upon Cowgill, who recognized in them an important opportunity for a public spirited service to his associated growers, and he did much to improve the marketing and distributing facilities available to the producers in the Redlands section. At the same time he acquired interests in several irrigation companies that brought water to an increased area of citrus land.
He had his first ride in an automobile, a one-cylinder Cadillac, when he was 48 years old.
In 1880, Cowgill had married Miss Nellie Broomhall, who was born in Quaker City, Ohio, August 12, 1858, the daughter of W. P. and Rachel (Redd) Broomhall, natives of Ohio. Mr. and Mrs. Cowgill’s four children were all born at Zanesville, Ohio. Ethel M., born June 23, 1882, was married May 24, 1911, to Fred C. Knapp, a contractor and builder of Los Angeles. They had a daughter, Kathryn Claire Knapp, born in Los Angeles July 11, 1912.
The second child, Claire Cowgill, was born June 25, 1886, and graduated from the Redlands High School and from Smith College at Northampton, Massachusetts, with an A.B. degree.
Chester B. Cowgill, born April 14, 1890, was educated at Redlands High School, spent four years in the University of California at Berkeley, and is went into business in Los Angeles. On March 19, 1918, he enlisted from Redlands, and was sworn into military service at Rockwell Aviation Field at San Diego March 23rd, being assigned to
Squadron C. He was transferred to March Aviation Field at Riverside in August, 1918, was promoted to private first class and acted as sergeant in charge of power plants, and November 13, 1918, was transferred to the Field Artillery Officers Training School at Camp Zachary Taylor, Louisville, Kentucky, being assigned to the Seventeenth Observational Battery. He received his honorable discharge December 7, 1918.
On August 27, 1917, C. B. Cowgill married Gladys Ingersoll, of Los Angeles, who is also a graduate of the Redlands High School, the California State Normal School. She was a very talented musician, both vocal and instrumental, and before her marriage was a teacher in the public schools of Los Angeles.
The fourth child, Ralph Cowgill, was born February 6, 1894, graduated from the high school in Redlands, attended the State University and a business college, and was connected in the early 1920s with the refinery of the Standard Oil Company at Bakersfield. He married Miss Ruth E. Swan at Redlands December 23, 1916. She was a graduate of the Redlands High School. He joined the Naval Reserves for a period of four years, and was on active duty until released after the signing of the armistice in November 1918. Both of Alva Cowgill’s sons were married and held good positions, yet they waived all claims for exemption when they were called to the colors.
According to John Brown and James Boyd in their History of San Bernardino And Riverside Counties published in 1922, Alva Cowgill led “a busy life” and compiled “a record of usefulness and honor. Mr. Cowgill is truly one of the men who have been instrumental in making the country around Redlands bloom and blossom as the rose.”
In 1926, three years after Nellie Bromhall Cowgill’s 1923 death, Alva Cowgill remarried, taking as his second wife , Mary Mason Howlett Cowgill, who was born in 1877 and was the widow of Richard A. Mason (1876 – 1919).
Cowgill served as the secretary and manager of the Redlands Mutual Orange Company for 19 years and was its president for four years. A charter member of Rediands Kiwanis club, he was a regular attendant at the weekly luncheons. He was a member of Trinity Episcopal church for 15 years.
Alva Cowgill died on November 3, 1943 at the age of 87. He was stlll the secretary for Mutual Orange Distributors at the time of his death, being the only secretary of the company in its 37 year history at that time and he had continued to serve on its board of directors until a month before his death, at which time he had asked to be relieved of that duty. He was also still a director of the Redlands Mutual Orange Company at the time of his death.
J. A. Steward, general manager of the mutual Orange Distributors, said at the time of Alva Cowgill’s death, “Every member of the organization feels a keen personal loss in the death of Mr. Cowgill. The orange business was his life and I have heard him say that he would rather die than not be able to report, as he did faithfully for years, for his regular day’s stint at the Mutual Orange Distributors. He was much loved by all who knew him. Mild mannered and efficient, he took pride in his work. We considered him one of our most valued friends and co-workers.”

On Saturday January 9th, the second bald eagle count of the winter was conducted by local Federal and State biologists and volunteers around several lakes in the southern California. Several dozen bald eagles typically spend their winter vacations around southern California’s lakes. They migrate here because their prey animals (fish and ducks) are no longer available to them in the cold northern regions as ice covers the lakes and rivers.
A total of four bald eagles were observed by 64 observers during the 1-hour count period on Saturday morning: 1 adult and 2 immature bald eagles were seen at Lake Perris and 1 adult bald eagle was observed at Lake Hemet. Kathy Williams, park ranger at Silverwood Lake State Recreation Area, said “thirty-eight very eager participants were skunked during the count. But, we’ll try again next month”.

Eagle counts at Big Bear Lake and Lake Arrowhead were canceled due to road conditions. Noted Robin Eliason, Forest Service Biologist, “the streets around Big Bear and Lake Arrowhead are plowed but they’re very narrow and lined with high snow banks. It makes it impossible to get vehicles parked off the roads, creating a safety issue for our eagle count volunteers. We’ve seen at least seven different bald eagles on Big Bear Lake in the days leading up to Saturday’s count and it’s likely that we would have seen most or all of those had we been able to get our volunteers out there.”
The count coordinators from the Forest Service and State Recreation Areas would like to thank those volunteers for their dedication in getting up early and participating in the eagle census. The success of the eagle counts is entirely dependent on the volunteers!
Please join us for one of the upcoming bald eagle counts for this winter! They are scheduled for the following Saturday mornings: February 13th and March 12th. No experience needed. Signing up ahead of time is unnecessary – just show up at the designated time and location, dress warmly, bring binoculars and a watch.

· Big Bear Lake area volunteers will meet at 8:00 a.m. at the Forest Service’s Big Bear Discovery Center on North Shore Drive for orientation. Contact Robin Eliason (reliason@fs.fed.us or 909-382-2832) for more information. Please call 909-382-2832 for cancellation due to winter weather conditions – an outgoing message will be left by 6:30 am on the morning of the count if it has to be cancelled. Contact the Discovery Center (909-382-2790) for information about Eagle Celebrations. There will also be a free slideshow about bald eagles at 11:00 after the counts.
· Lake Arrowhead/Lake Gregory volunteers will meet at 8:00 a.m. at the Skyforest Ranger Station for orientation. Contact Robin Eliason (reliason@fs.fed.us or 909-382-2832) for more information. Please call 909-382-2832 for cancellation due to winter weather conditions – an outgoing message will be left by 6:30 am on the morning of the count if it has to be cancelled.
· Silverwood Lake State Recreation Area volunteers should plan to meet at the Visitor Center at 8:00 a.m. for orientation. Contact Kathy Williams or Mark Wright for more information about volunteering or taking an eagle tour (760-389-2303 between 8:00 and 4:00; or email: katherine.williams@parks.ca.gov).

· Lake Hemet volunteers should plan on meeting at the Lake Hemet Grocery Store at 8:30 a.m. for orientation. Contact Ann Bowers (annbowers@fs.fed.us or 909-382-2935) for more information.

· Lake Perris State Recreation Area volunteers should plan to meet at the Lake Perris Regional Indian Museum at 8:00 for orientation. Contact the office for more information at 951-940-5600.
The bald eagle nest at Big Bear Lake now has a live-stream nest camera installed. The nesting pair, Lucy and Ricky, is expected to start working on the nest any day now. The winter storms and heavy snowfall may delay them a bit this year. Be sure to check it out: http://friendsofbigbearvalley.org/eagle-cam.html

January has had a chilling and ominous start. I think of Bowie every year in January for many reasons and this past week was no different. As I lay in bed this past Saturday thinking of what an incredible life he was leading and how he had impacted many with his music and fashion, I also wondered how people would react if he passed away. The next evening it was disclosed Bowie had succumbed to liver cancer. I find it so hard to believe, but this much is true. Bowie was the Patron of Rock he was fashionably chic, cool, and talented. He influenced many, especially youth who were the first to discover his music. Bowie was a giant of music, a master of melody, a striking painter, an icon of fashion, and an artist who did it all. He came into the music scene in 1969 with Space Oddity. The 70s were one masterpiece after another, from Changes to Young Americans. Accoutrements to his outlandish music were the personas he created, such as Ziggy Stardust, and Aladdin Sane. Bowie was a person who could take on different identities, and do so with credibility, intensity and integrity. As he moved toward middle age in the 80s, he wrote songs like Lets Dance, and China Girl, not to mention starring in films like Labyrinth. Bowie married Iman and they had a daughter Alexandria, and continued his great service in art and music. The last few years he kept creating by co-writing Lazarus, and on his January 8th birthday, his final album, titled Black Star, was released. For decades, Bowie was a trailblazing innovator. He may have stopped touring but worked until his last breath. His passing came as a surprise to fans all over the world.
Local fans like Kim Candreva rushed to Hollywood and paid tribute. Here’s what she had to say: “I left Ontario at 11 a.m. His star is in front of CVS on Hollywood Blvd.. The news-stations were already there. I walked over and put his picture at his star along with a rosary, and lit a candle. I sat in shock, feeling sad, watching people walk by. Many were shocked as they learned the sad news. A Japanese couple looked at what was going on and when they realized it was Bowie they began to gasp. People were literally just finding out as they asked, ‘Who died?’ And when they heard Bowie they were tripping out.” Kim felt like she had to be down there next to Bowie’s star because she loved his music and Bowie was like a chameleon, changing all the time. For Kim, who grew up on Bowie going to parties, one of her favorite albums was Diamond Dogs, which was her era, and she loves that she was also fortunate to see him play live twice, once at US Festival, and his last concert Glass Spider tour at Angel Stadium, which she said “was like going to heaven.”
Others weighed in at this passing of an icon and of an era:
“Without Bowie there would never have been The Cure, Psychedelic Furs, Bauhaus,Siouxsie, or a slew of other bands, good and bad. His influence knows no bounds and still resonates today, a true innovater who kicked down the door. Bowie made twelve incredible albums between 1970 and 1980 and some pretty good ones after that. My props to chameleon known to the world as David Bowie.” ~Robert from Chino
“There isn’t anything poignant I can say that hasn’t already been said about David Bowie. This is the one time I’m really grateful for social media because the outpouring of tributes and messages from friends, family and celebrities are so beautiful and comforting. A little piece of me died today when my damn alarm clock went off and I heard Bean announce the news. I thought it was a stupid KROQ joke. I used to stay up late on Sunday night every year just to hear Rodney’s David Bowie birthday show! I saw every Tour from 1983 on; except for Tin Machine days.”
~Tracie Valenzuela Rancho Cucamonga
The Thin White Duke told loved ones, including the son he had with Angie Bowie, Duncan Zowie Bowie that he wanted to “go without any fuss” and he requested that there be no private or public funerals or memorial services after his passing. Spontaneously, however, memorials for him have been scheduled, such as one honoring him and and Motörhead’s Lemmy, who also recently passed, tonight at Monty Bar, located at 1222 West 7th in downtown L.A.
For those of you who have seen his latest video and for those of you who have yet to see it, I take it as a crowning achievement of this consumate artist who lived so fully yet knew he was to die, his symbolic cosmic send-off. He brandishes a book, on which is emblazoned his latest and last symbol, the Black Star. The Black Star Book is an artistic Talmud, Bible, Koran or Bhagavad Gita. The message, to me, is that through art we can transcend life and we can transcend death.
Long live fashion icon, artist, musician, and chameleon David Bowie; your fans love you until the end.

“I’m not a prophet or a stone aged man, just a mortal with potential of a superman. I’m living on.” ~David Bowie

Sentinel 01-08-16

By Mark Gutglueck
HESPERIA—The City of Hesperia, which has at nearly every stage of its 29-year history been challenged from a managerial standpoint, is again rolling the dice with regard to placing City Hall under the leadership of a-yet-unproven city administrator, defying the odds once more.
In this instance, after the departure of Mike Podegracz, who served as city manager for just over a decade, the city has turned to sheriff’s captain Nils Bentsen to serve as the city’s tenth city manager.
The current city council is pinning its hopes on Bentsen, who has earned the council’s trust by virtue of his demonstrated competence in overseeing the Hesperia sheriff’s substation, which serves as the Hesperia Police Department. Rather than carry out a statewide or nationwide search for a candidate to take on the responsibility of overseeing operations in the 90,173-population city, the current council has gravitated to Bentsen, who will be the third consecutive city manager in Hesperia who had either not trained for a career in municipal management or had no prior experience in that capacity.
Bentsen faces a challenge. Indeed, Hesperia, which has infrastructure and span of control issues that dwarf those of nearly every other city in the county, has long suffered from being led by inadequate, inexperienced, self-interested, overly politically-involved or outright dishonest city managers. Two of those have been convicted of felonious activity relating to their activity in managing other Southern California cities after their departures from Hesperia.
In promoting Bentsen, the city is looking to recreate the relative success it had with his immediate predecessor, Podegracz, like Benson a department head promoted from within whose familiarity with Hesperia stood him in good stead when he was faced with the task of running it.
Hesperia, at 73.209 square miles, is San Bernardino County’s third largest city geographically, having been nosed out for first and second by Victorville and Apple Valley, at 73.741 square miles and 73.523 square miles, respectively. Providing adequate infrastructure over its sprawling spread would be challenge in any event but is exacerbated by the depredations of the man celebrated as the “father” of modern Hesperia, Penn Phillips.
In 1954, Phillips was the vice-president and director of Standard Federal Savings and Loan Association of Los Angeles. On April 22 of that year, in what was billed as the largest private land sale in Southern California in 35 years, Phillips’ corporate entity Omart Investment Company bought a 36-square mile tract seven miles south of Victorville, representing roughly 90 percent of the entire township of Hesperia, for $1.25 million from the Appleton Land and Water Company and the Lacey Estate, which had owned the land jointly since 1888. He created the Hesperia Land Development and Hesperia Sales Corporation, which worked to promote his concept of the U-Finish Home, mass-produced housing units that were completely finished on the outside, leaving the buyer to complete the interior. He secured water rights to support this community. Phillips simultaneously announced his intention to spend $8.25 million through the Hesperia Land Company, a subsidiary of Omart Investment Company, to prepare the property for development, indicating 1,000 acres of the property was to be allocated to industrial development, 8,000 acres for agriculture and that 5,000 homes would be built along with a two-and-one-half mile-long-and-one-quarter-mile-wide artificial lake, and a resort section.
The formula Phillips applied in Hesperia was much like the one he used with his developments elsewhere: secure land, build homes on it, put in the minimal amount of infrastructure to make the homes habitable, bring in a population that creates the basis for a community that includes momentum for establishing some form of a jurisdictional governmental agency, sell all of the parcels acquired, take a profit and move on to the next development elsewhere.
Phillips built roads for Hesperia that were of a decidedly low standard, consisting of a mixture of desert sand used as aggregate and bitumen to create a road that was no more than one-and-a-half inches thick. The roads, when new, looked good, but under the withering sun and use, began to deteriorate within three to four years. The flash floods the desert is prone to further washed out these roads over the following decades, leaving many of Hesperia’s streets in poor condition, including some that eventually returned to being nothing more than dirt roads.
Phillips was equally irresponsible in the creation of the town’s water system. Though he started with the tremendous advantage of Hesperia being blessed with a world-class water supply, he squandered that asset in his head-long pursuit of a profit. Hesperia lies near the headwaters of the Mojave River, the watershed area north of the San Bernardino Mountains, a pristine and perpetually recharged water supply created by melting snow and overflowing rainwater from the heights southeast of Hesperia. The water system Phillips created for Hesperia consisted in large part of pipes cannibalized from a petroleum conveyance operation from depleted oil fields. Thus, the Hesperia Water Company, capturing water at the foot of the mountain before it rushed forward to become the Mojave River and wend out into the desert, used substandard pipes, which compromised the quality of the product provided to Hesperia for domestic use.
In the more than half century that has passed since Phillips took his final leave of Hesperia, the city has struggled to overcome its inferior infrastructure foundation. This was worsened by decisions made by the fledgling city council shortly after the city was incorporated in 1988. Looking southward at the upwardly mobile population of Rancho Cucamonga, a city which had incorporated a mere eleven years before in 1977, the newly formed city council, led by mayor Bruce Kitchen and councilmembers George Beardsly, Mike Lampignano, Percy Bakker and M. Val Shearer, lured Rancho Cucamonga Deputy City Manager Robert Rizzo to town to serve as the city’s first city manager. Deluded into thinking that cityhood would instantly transform their city into an economically dynamic hotbed of upscale developmennt similar to Rancho Cucamonga, the city council empowered Rizzo to cut deals with developers to convince them to begin building aggressively and soon. Rizzo took the council’s somewhat naive instructions too literally, pushing his planning staff to approve projects as proposed by developers, entailing projects with sketchy or inadequate infrastructure, both in the immediate vicinity of the neighborhoods which were springing up as well as throughout the city in general. In some cases, Rizzo, to meet payroll, diverted bond money intended for the provision of infrastructure into the general fund, where it was eaten up by the day-to-day expenses of running the city. In time, many of the landowners inveigled into the assessment districts created to debt service those bonds lost those properties in tax foreclosures as the promised increases in the value of their properties failed to materialize because the infrastructure those bonds were supposed to pay for was never built. Correspondingly, the sales tax producing development that was to accompany the improvements to those properties in question never materialized, depriving the city of revenue that could have been converted into infrastructure improvements.
And Rizzo was manipulative and dishonest, exploiting the very city council members who hired him, enabled him and directed him to develop the city at any cost. During the 1990 election, he arranged with developmental interests to get scores of residents in Orange County to write $99 checks in blank and entrust them to him. He then distributed those checks to the candidates up for election in the city council race that he deemed to be most accommodating of the pro-development agenda, including Percy Bakker, M. Val Shearer and planning commission member Donna Roland. In this way, Rizzo was seeking to obtain leverage over those to whom he was answerable. No one on the council objected until press accounts in early 1992 revealed what had occurred. Even then, the council sought to minimize the transgression. But public outrage over the corruption of the electoral and governmental process forced the council’s hand and in April 1992, Rizzo left the city.
Some 18 years later, Rizzo’s corrupt manipulations of the elected city officials who hired him came home to roost when a series of legal, financial, managerial and governmental transgressions he had engaged in as city manager with the City of Bell came to light and he was arrested, criminally charged, convicted and is now serving a 12-year sentence in state prison.
Rizzo was replaced by D.J. Collins, who for years had been the general manager of the Hesperia Water District. Under Collins, the water district in short order was subsumed by the city. Collins made little headway in dealing with the city’s infrastructure problems, and though he succeeded in diverting some of the money available from the city’s water operations to shore up the city’s inadequate road system, he and the council were strongly criticized for having broken a commitment to strictly devote water revenues to maintaining the city’s water system. Collin’s administration was severely challenged by “the revolt of the Young Turks” in the fire department, which came about when many of the fire department’s personnel, most of whom were close to a generation younger than Collins, objected to the city overriding efforts by the fire marshal to strictly enforce the state and municipal fire code with regard to new development as City Hall sought to liberalize regulations and encourage building.
Collins would be succeeded by a succession of relatively short-lived city managers – David Berger, Steve Dukett, David Bentz and Steve West. Following West’s departure, the city council temporarily elevated assistant city manager Rod Foster to the city manager’s position. In 2000, Western Water made an overture to Hesperia with regard to purchasing the city’s municipal water division. Making that pitch for Western Water was Robb Quincey. Quincey, who had a bachelor of arts degree in public administration and political science from the University of Minnesota, a master of public administration degree from the University of South Dakota and a doctorate in public administration with an emphasis in economics and organizational development from the University of La Verne, left quite an impression on the city council, though they did not accede to his suggestion that they sell the city’s water system to Western Water. Nevertheless, in October 2000 they offered Quincey a position as city manager. He accepted the offer. Titularly, Foster returned to his assistant city manager’s post. Quincey, however, had no actual experience in managing a governmental organization. He proved highly dependent upon Foster, who in essence served as city manager during Quincey’s more than four year tenure as city manager in Hesperia. In March 2005, Upland Mayor John Pomierski succeeded in convincing Quincey to jump ship and take on city manager duties in the City of Gracious Living. For twenty days after Quincey’s departure, Foster again served as interim city manager in Hesperia. In Upland, where like in Hesperia his reputation exceeded his skill level, Quincey soon recognized he was in over his head. He convinced Pomierski to hire Foster to serve as his assistant city manager. Foster then followed Quincey to Upland.
In Upland, Pomierski was engaged in a series of depredations, including shaking down individuals with business projects pending before City Hall to hire him as a “consultant” to facilitate their projects’ various approvals. The mayor’s bribe taking and acceptance of kickbacks grew legendary. Quincey, as Pomierski’s handpicked choice to serve as city manager, facilitated much of Pomierski’s action. In 2009 Foster left Upland to become city manager in Colton, at which point any veneer of propriety at Upland City Hall was sundered and Pomierski’s and Quincey’s self-interested machinations could no longer be suppressed or hidden. Pomierski was indicted in 2011 and convicted in 2012 and imprisoned for a year. Quincey was fired in 2011 and criminally charged in 2012 and convicted in 2014.
Following Foster’s departure for Upland in April 2005, Hesperia settled upon elevating city engineer/public works director Mike Podegracz to the city manager’s position. As it would play out, having a top administer who had an intimate understanding of the city’s infrastructure needs proved compatible with the city council’s priorities, in particular Paul Bosacki, who was elected in 2008, in no small measure on the basis of his website, Paveroadsfirst.com, which promoted using all available revenue toward refurbishing the city’s deteriorating infrastructure. Bosacki was replaced by Eric Schmidt in 2012. A new ethos has evolved on the city council, with Bill Holland, Russ Blewett and Paul Russ, and to a lesser extent Schmidt, in ascendancy. Last month, Podegracz retired. The council, which is led by Holland, a former sheriff’s deputy, selected Bentsen to lead the city.
Bentsen is home-grown, having attended Hesperia Christian School and Victor Valley College. It is perhaps this status as a Hesperia Native Son that has distinguished him from past Hesperia sheriff’s station commanders. Whereas previous sheriff’s captains who have served as what is tantamount to the police chief in Hesperia have been, if not cold and distant, then straightforward and somewhat aloof, Bentsen seems genuinely interested in the community he grew up in and engages regularly with residents, city employees and elected officials, displaying what one long time city resident called “the human element.” Since coming to Hesperia to serve as captain nearly three years ago, he has demonstrated himself, in another city resident’s words, to be “cordial, intelligent and logical.”
The decision to appoint him city manager passed on a 4-1 vote, with councilman Schmidt, the immediate past mayor prior to Holland, being the lone dissenter. Schmidt did not declare with any clarity the grounds for his objection to Bentsen, whether, perhaps, he was uncomfortable with placing into the topmost management role a leader without formal training in municipal administration or whether it was the subtle rivalry that has come to pervade the relationship between himself and Holland which was the motivating factor in his lone vote of opposition.
One area that is very likely to prove a test for Bentsen is negotiating the proper course between the city’s need to improve its infrastructure and the imperative a majority of the council is likely to place on him in accommodating development. Holland and council members Paul Russ and Russell Blewett are virulently pro-development by basic orientation. They have been confirmed in that orientation by the degree of financial support provided to their electioneering efforts by the development community. An example of how their leanings in this regard is their rock solid support for the Tapestry Project, a proposed master-planned community now slated to add 16,196 homes to the city. Assuming those units will be filled with a household of four, the Tapestry Project alone promises to zoom the city’s population from its current 90,173 to some 155,000. The intensity of that development in the southeast quadrant of the city has provoked serious opposition from a segment of the city’s populace, who see it as too much urbanization in a community that features less density and more wide open space than the cities of the Inland Valley down the Cajon Pass or in Los Angeles County. City officials have continued to support the project, making a few concessions such as scaling it back from its originally proposed 19,200 homes. Moreover, the project’s supporters point to the $12 million the project proponent, Terra Verde Group, will pay up front in development impact fees intended to cover the cost of infrastructure, in particular the widening of Ranchero Road, to offset the burden the influx of residents will represent.
While a minority of city residents are at one with Holland, Russ and Blewett and are pressing to have the project facilitated, an even more sizable segment of Hesperia and Oak Hills residents, not to mention those in Summit Valley, are adamantly opposed to making a radical change to the character of the property located near and on historic Las Flores Ranch.
Ongoing are Hesperia’s continuing road integrity problems. Moreover, Hesperia has historically suffered from inadequate or even non-existent grading in large swathes of the municipality, which has created flooding problems in the city’s industrial and commercial areas as well as its residential neighborhoods, resulting in some cases in fatalities. This circumstance represents a continuing liability to the city. And the city is bedeviled by the consideration that it is bifurcated by the Santa Fe Railroad tracks, which can be forded only at Bear Valley Road on the city’s extreme north end, by means of the Myra McGinnis Bridge on Main Street in the central part of the city and the Ranchero Underpass at the city’s south end. In this way, Hesperia is a city that is largely divided from itself, such that going from the east of the city to the west or vice versa often entails a commuting delay. Overcoming this problem is expensive, as the most recent fix to the dilemma, consisting of the Ranchero Underpass completed and opened in 2013, cost $27 million.
Another challenge that Bentsen faces is that departing with Podegracz was a significant portion of his municipal support network – director of development services Scott Priester, economic development director Steve Lantsberger and director of public Works Dale Burke. It is rumored that management services director Brian Johnson will soon depart the city as well. The loss of expertise and institutional memory these departures represent to not auger well for anyone thrust into the city manager’s position. And these departures will put Bentsen in the position of having to answer to and please the political directives of the council collectively and its members singularly without having access to experienced and authoritative municipal planning staff to guide him.
Whether Bentsen now fully understands that the council majority may be asking him and the decimated municipal staff he leads to accede to a development agenda that is on track to repeat the mistakes of the past that put a higher priority on building houses and neighborhoods than on ensuring there is adequate infrastructure to support that development is an open question. A further question is whether, even if he does understand that future generations of Hesperians might be hurt by a mad rush toward development today, he has the strength of character and wherewithal to stand up to his political masters. Indeed, the Tapestry Project may be the first of a series of tests in this regard and if he approves amenable to rubber stamping the development community’s proposals, the flood gates for further aggressive development may be opened.
Holland and Russ are further supported by city employee unions. Just as in the case of the demands and pressure on City Hall by the development community, Bentsen will need to make crucial decisions with regard to not only the size of city staff but the level of remuneration and benefits those employees are to receive. As a sheriff’s department employee who is to retire at the age of 51 from that organization and receive a pension equal to 81 percent of his highest pay while working with the sheriff’s department, Bentsen may not have what is perceived as the moral authority to hold the line on salary and benefits to be paid to city employees, even if in the years ahead council members who are less friendly to the employees union than Holland and Russ are elected.
And like every Hesperia city manager who came before him, Bentsen is saddled with an arrangement put in place when the city first incorporated which provides it with a return of only 1.57 percent to 1.59 percent of the property tax collected within its borders. In this regard, Hesperia is the long forgotten stepchild of San Bernardino County, receiving the lowest percentage of property tax than all of the county’s 24 incorporated municipalities. Efforts have been made to adjust that inequity in the past, none of which succeeded. Should Bentsen take on that task and succeed in cracking that nut, he might on the basis of that alone lay claim to being, in a positive rather than a negative sense, the city’s most noteworthy city manager.
Because he was engaged in transitioning from his role as Hesperia Sheriff’s Station commander to city manager, which is to take place over the weekend, Bentsen was unable to participate in an interview with the Sentinel this week, his secretary said.
