By Wallace Stevens

I
Among twenty snowy mountains,
The only moving thing
Was the eye of the blackbird.

II
I was of three minds,
Like a tree
In which there are three blackbirds.

III
The blackbird whirled in the autumn winds.
It was a small part of the pantomime.

IV
A man and a woman
Are one.
A man and a woman and a blackbird
Are one.

V
I do not know which to prefer,
The beauty of inflections
Or the beauty of innuendoes,
The blackbird whistling
Or just after.

VI
Icicles filled the long window
With barbaric glass.
The shadow of the blackbird
Crossed it, to and fro.
The mood
Traced in the shadow
An indecipherable cause.

VII
O thin men of Haddam,
Why do you imagine golden birds?
Do you not see how the blackbird
Walks around the feet
Of the women about you?

VIII
I know noble accents
And lucid, inescapable rhythms;
But I know, too,
That the blackbird is involved
In what I know.

IX
When the blackbird flew out of sight,
It marked the edge
Of one of many circles.

X
At the sight of blackbirds
Flying in a green light,
Even the bawds of euphony
Would cry out sharply.

XI
He rode over Connecticut
In a glass coach.
Once, a fear pierced him,
In that he mistook
The shadow of his equipage
For blackbirds.

XII
The river is moving.
The blackbird must be flying.

XIII
It was evening all afternoon.
It was snowing
And it was going to snow.
The blackbird sat
In the cedar-limbs.

One of the most popular organized wildlife watching activities in the San Bernardino National Forest is back, now in its 40th year. The annual winter bald eagle counts will be held over the next four months at five lakes throughout the Inland Empire, including two managed by California State Parks. The public can put their citizen scientist hat on and come out to collect data that helps U.S. Forest Service biologists understand the local wintering bald eagle population. The program is part of an ongoing long-term monitoring effort that began in 1978.
“Over the past four decades, we’ve witnessed the bald eagle population recover from low numbers to a healthy population under the protection of the Endangered Species Act. Eagles are now doing so well they are no longer considered an endangered species,” said wildlife biologist Robin Eliason. “With the public’s continued help, we are able to track population trends in the forest.”
The first count will be held on the morning of Saturday, December 15, aligning with the annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count, followed by three more on the second Saturdays of the first few months of 2019: January 12, February 9 and March 9. No reservations are needed; just show up at a designated location at the start time with binoculars and a way to keep time. And don’t forget to dress for winter weather!
Time and location details are as follows:
· Big Bear Lake area volunteers will meet at 8 a.m. at the Big Bear Discovery Center on North Shore Drive (Hwy 38) 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. There will also be a free slideshow presentation about bald eagles at 11 a.m. after each count.
· Lake Arrowhead/Lake Gregory area volunteers will meet at 8 a.m. at the Skyforest Work Center on Hwy 18 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.

Jumper dresses are the best warm pieces to help every style-minded woman make it through the colder months. In addition to providing warmth, they can be fun and versatile, too. Having made our way inside and out of the draught, let’s move onto the details. They look great with boots, sneakers, and heels. And, the jumper dress can be paired with leggings or tights, based on your choice. Another neat thing about the jumper is it can be belted to accentuate your waist. The jumper dress is super comfortable and is great for any occasion. It’s an easy piece to grab from the closet when in a rush. So give your wardrobe a jump this weekend with this neat piece.

“Fashion is part of our culture, and it’s about more than just a pretty dress.” -Joan Smalls

Sentinel 11-30-18

By Mark Gutglueck
In its last business session before the changing of the guard in which three of its current members will depart in the aftermath of the 2018 election cycle, the Upland City Council as it is now composed on Monday night November 26 used its fleeting authority to elevate Assistant City Manager Jeannette Vagnozzi to the position of city manager.
Vagnozzi is now the city’s seventh city manager in the last eight years.
The terms of that promotion impose on the incoming city council, the full membership of which has yet to be determined, a requirement that Vagnozzi stay in place as city manager at least until early March 2019 and confers upon her a severance guarantee of roughly $155,500 if the future council elects to terminate her before the contract expires as of January 1, 2022.
Vagnozzi’s ascendancy comes in the context of an acrimonious relationship between the political establishment that dominated the City of Gracious Living for the last two years and at least two of the three victorious candidates in this year’s election. Those three victors, including the lone dissident from the current council’s ruling coalition who managed to capture reelection against a candidate promoted by that coalition’s backers, signify the Upland community’s dissatisfaction with the political establishment that heretofore held sway. They must now live, at least for a short while, with Vagnozzi, who often militated on the ruling coalition’s behalf.
Vagnozzi began working with Upland in the capacity of deputy city manager in 2015, when she was brought in to assist Rod Butler, who had been hired in 2014 as the full-fledged replacement for Stephen Dunn, who was given his walking papers and a one-year salary and benefits severance package after getting crosswise of then-Mayor Ray Musser and then-councilmen Brendan Brandt and Glenn Bozar. Butler took the reins from interim city manager Martin Lomeli, who had previously worked as the city manager in La Verne. Butler convinced the council to fund the assistant city manager position, and he then hired Vagnozzi, who had risen to the position of assistant to the city manager in La Verne at that time, Bob Russi, after she had been employed in that city for some 26 years, having begun as an intern and having moved through the ranks during Lomeli’s tenure there. Vagnozzi’s deputy city manager duties in Upland included serving as city clerk, administrative services director, human resources manager and risk management director. In 2016, three members of the city council – Mayor Musser, then-Councilwoman Debbie Stone and Councilman Gino Filippi – grew disenchanted with Butler and terminated him without citing cause, giving him a severance package equal to nine months salary and benefits as he headed out the door.
The council had Vagnozzi fill in for Butler as acting city manager for less than a week, and brought in the city’s former police chief, Marty Thouvenell, to serve as interim city manager and simultaneously head up a recruitment drive to find a replacement for Butler. What was originally intended to be no more than a three-month stint for Thouvenell as interim city manager prolonged itself into an 18-month assignment.
Among those contemplated as Butler’s replacement were Vagnozzi and two other department heads, Community Development Director Jeff Zwack and Finance Manager Scott Williams. Zwack’s strength was his overall command of the character of the city. The case for Williams was that he had a firm grip on the city’s financial outlook, which was bleak, given that a little more than three year’s previously an auditor’s opinion from the certified public accounting firm Mayer Hoffman and McCann had stated that there were such serious questions with regard to the city’s solvency to the point that it was on a trajectory toward being “unable to continue as a going concern.” Williams was energetically and aggressively working toward not just plugging the city’s ongoing annual budget gaps but eliminating its long-term structural deficits. These entailed thinking outside of the box, including proposals for substantial municipal reorganizations, most prominently tackling the primary cost of city operations – public safety – by shuttering both the police and fire departments and outsourcing law enforcement and firefighting/emergency medical service with external agencies such as the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department or the Ontario Police Department, the Ontario Fire Department or the San Bernardino County Fire Department. For Thouvenell, the dissolution of the Upland Police Department, with which he had spent his entire law enforcement career, was a nonstarter. Nevertheless, Vagnozzi deemed Williams a strong rival in the sweepstakes to become Upland city manager. Even before Williams’ managerial hopes could founder because of Thouvenell’s disapproval of his willingness to shutter the municipal police department, he was felled when information contained in his confidential personnel file relating to his own personal financial difficulty began making the rounds. The implication was that Vagnozzi, who as the city’s human resources director had virtually exclusive access to the personnel files of city employees, had ruthlessly used her bureaucratic position to cut Williams off at the knees. In October 2016, just a month-and-a-half after his name had been bandied about as a possible replacement for Butler, Williams was shown the door.
In the weeks and then months thereafter, however, Vagnozzi’s ascendancy to the city manager’s post never materialized, as Thouvenell had concluded that she was not suited to hold the position. Thouvenell did, however, gravitate to one of Williams’ outsourcing proposals, that pertaining to the fire department. In the November 2016 election, Mayor Musser did not seek reelection. Two of the incumbent council members, Debbie Stone and Glenn Bozar, vied against one another to replace Musser. Stone prevailed in that election. Also elected to the council that month was Janice Elliott, who moved into the council position formerly held by Bozar. Stone’s election to the mayoralty created a vacancy on the council, as she yet had two years left on the council term she had been elected to in 2014. A decision was made to fill that position with Sid Robinson, the runner-up to Elliott in the just-concluded election. At the end of November 2016, just before Elliott and Robinson assumed their places on the dais and in one of the last acts of the council that had Musser and Bozar as members, Thouvenell obtained permission to explore the option of closing out the 110-year-old Upland Municipal Fire Department and enter into an arrangement with the county to have the county fire department replace it.
Thouvenell pursued the county fire department takeover concept, and the then-newly composed council backed him in having the San Bernardino County Local Agency Formation Commission structure the annexation of Upland and neighboring San Antonio Heights into a county fire service district, whereupon all land and business owners in the city had imposed upon them a $157 per parcel annual assessment to pay for the county fire department’s operations. The city, meanwhile, eliminated the costs it had traditionally bore in operating the fire department, but agreed to have Upland return to the county 54 percent of the property taxes collected on its behalf, an amount equal at present to $7 million to $8 million annually. This created a permanent financial commitment that is to continue to grow as property values increase, with the county getting 54 percent of the city’s property taxes into perpetuity. Meanwhile, the city’s residents, and those in San Antonio Heights, found themselves having to pay twice for fire protection service that historically had been provided by the city and the county and defrayed through the collection of property taxes and local sales tax. Simultaneously, this galvanized thousands of Upland and San Antonio Heights residents, who in the final stages of the processing of the transition between the city, the county, the county fire department and the Local Agency Formation Commission, lodged thunderous protests, ultimately to no avail. As this processing marched toward completion, Councilwoman Elliott, alone among her council colleagues, sought to resist the takeover and facilitated city and San Antonio Heights residents in their efforts to stop the creation of the assessment district and the closure of the Upland Fire Department. This isolated Elliott from the rest of the council as well as from Thouvenell and virtually all of the city’s managerial and administrative staff. When she did not realign herself with their agenda, they moved to isolate her further, removing her from all of the committee assignments she held as well as those positions on regional and intergovernmental joint powers authority boards on which she represented Upland. Cast in the role of the council’s lone dissident, Elliott conformed to the mold that had been cast for her, and on virtually all issues of controversy in the city that followed, including increasing the city’s water rates, conferring upon Thouvenell throughout 2018 a year-long consultancy contract at $9,000 per month, and selling 12 percent of Upland’s historic Memorial Park to San Antonio Hospital for use as a parking structure, she voted in opposition to her four fellow and sister council members.
In December 2017, Thouvenell recommended that the city hire Bill Manis, who was then the city manager in Rosemead, as city manager. The council did so. Simultaneously, Vagnozzi was promoted from deputy city manager to assistant city manager, which entailed an $8,000 per year salary enhancement. This spring, Manis and Vagnozzi, together with City Attorney Jim Markman, complied with the council majority’s request to draw up articles of censure against Elliott. On May 29, 2018, the council voted 4-to-1, with Elliott dissenting, to censure her, effectively rebuking her for what they considered to be her contrarian attitude.
In September, Manis rather abruptly announced he would be leaving as city manager, effective November 2. On November 6, Upland voters went to the polls for the city’s municipal election held in conjunction with the mid-term national and California’s gubernatorial election. This year’s balloting in Upland was the first election conducted under a district system, ending the traditional holding of at-large elections that had been the norm since the city’s founding in 1906. Running in the city’s Second District, which consists of the city’s northeast quadrant, Elliott, who still had two years on her at-large term to which she was elected in 2016, outpolled her single challenger, Upland Planning Commissioner Yvette Walker, who was backed by all three of the other city council members, the mayor and their political supporters. As of November 28, Elliott was ahead of Walker 4,098 votes or 54.34 percent to 3,433 votes of 45.66 percent. In the city’s third district, located in Upland’s southwest quadrant, both challengers Ricky Felix and Irmalinda Osuna outdistanced incumbent Councilman Gino Filippi. Felix, the anticipated winner, as of November 28 had claim 1,483 votes or 39.45 percent. Osuna had 1,316 votes or 35.01 percent. Filippi had 960 votes or 25.54 percent. In Upland’s Fourth District, which is that quarter of the city lying to the southeast, challenger Rudy Zuniga appears to have safely outdistanced incumbent Carol Timm. Zuniga held 1,891 votes or 45.63 percent as of November 28. Timm was endorsed by 1,655 district residents, equal to 39.94 percent. In third place was burlesque dancer Tammy Rapp, with 598 votes or 14.43 percent.
Councilman Sid Robinson, a resident of the Second District, would have needed to run to remain in office. He did not do so. On December 10, the city council as it is currently composed is scheduled to meet for the last time. After the opening ceremonials to include the call to order, convocation, pledge of allegiance and presentations, a swearing-in of Felix, Zuniga and Elliott is to be performed, at which point Robinson’s, Filippi’s and Timm’s tenures in office will draw to a close. The council will then be at four-fifths strength, and the council will thereafter need to fill the vacancy created by Elliott’s move from her at-large position to her District 2 post.
In what was the last full meeting during which Robinson, Filippi and Timm held office, this week, on Monday November 26, an item to approve a contract with Vagnozzi to pay her $205,368 in salary, $86,690.97 in benefits and roughly $25,000 in add-ons came before the council.
Twenty-one members of the public, 18 of them Upland residents in addition to three current or former La Verne public officials, weighed in on the matter Monday night.
Ralph Cavallo, an Upland resident since 1971, said, “Over the last six years the external candidates we’ve hired for that position have done less than a terrific job. We now have the opportunity to hire an internal candidate who is a true Uplander. She grew up here, right on Olive Street. She clearly has the educational requirements as well as the work experience. She is more than qualified for this position. She also brings with her the knowledge of the internal workings of the city, which will greatly help the incoming city council members.”
Sharon Harden, who works in the records division of the Upland Police Department at present and has been with the city for 33 years, spoke on behalf of the Upland City Employees Association, which represents 99 of the city’s 202 employees.
“I would like to encourage the council to extend Item 14 B [Vagnozzi’s hiring] until we can have a professional recruitment firm to evaluate qualified candidates nationwide,” Harden said. “This appointment of the acting city manager to city manager did not have a recent recruitment process. Rather, it is based on a process that happened over a year ago prior to hiring Bill Manis as the city manager. Having a new process and exploring all of our options would be the responsible thing to do for our city.”
Vera Heilman, who has worked as a code enforcement officer with the city and in various other municipal assignments over the last 15 years, said, “I am here tonight to express the disappointment and frustration the city employees have with Item 14 B, the appointment of the new city manager. Without a recent recruitment process, it is irresponsible. We were informed the council does not see the need for a new recruitment process because their candidate was already vetted by a consultant prior to hiring Mr. Manis. That was then. This is now. There are other qualified candidates who have not been given the opportunity to apply. The position of the city manager is very important. This may be legal but just because it is legal does not make it right. This appointment will only fuel the anger and the discontent the Upland community and city employees are feeling with the city leadership. The timing of this agenda item is of great concern to many as well. This is the last meeting for council members Filippi and Timm. Councilwoman Timm is not even here. Councilman Robinson’s time here is expiring next month. This decision, as important as it is, should not be made by a council that is on its way out. The decision should be made by the council that is going to be working with the new city manager. Furthermore, it could be quite expensive as well. We encourage the council to put the agenda item, as it is premature, and its flaws, which are expensive consequences to the city, on hold until the full permanent council can hear them.”
Linda Biscardi, a lifelong resident of Upland, said, “Jeannette Vagnozzi is my cousin. When she was 14, her father passed away. She took on the responsibility of guiding family financial decisions. She never uses the words ‘I can’t’ or ‘I don’t know.’ She always says, ‘Let me find out.’ The more complex a problem, the more eagerly she seeks a solution. This city needs exactly what Jeannette brings to the table. She is committed to not just doing the job well, but exceptionally well.”
Jon Blickenstaff, a former mayor in La Verne, said he had known Vagnozzi for 30 years. “Jeannette began working with the City of La Verne as an intern and worked her way up to the position of deputy city manager,” said Blickenstaff. “After more than 20 years of working for the City of La Verne, Jeannette announced she had been hired by the City of Upland. Despite active efforts on the part of La Verne to have her remain in La Verne, she wasn’t swayed in her determination to serve and return to Upland. It’s my observation that all of Jeannette’s work in both La Verne and Upland has been characterized by excellence, and she is the epitome of competence, dedication, civic experience, creativity, interpersonal skills and passion. She has brought a high level of strength and stability and financial responsibility to Upland. A search far and wide is unlikely to find the proven city manager that you have here in her hometown, Jeannette Vagnozzi.”
Terri Donaldson, an Upland resident, said Vagnozzi has “vast knowledge and high qualifications for this job. She has shown herself to be a superb employee and leader of others. She is beyond qualified to lead the staff as city manager.”
Councilman-elect Ricky Felix said, “I have nothing against her. She has always been very kind with me, very respectful toward me, but I do feel it would be a disservice to Upland if we didn’t postpone this vote until after December 10, where we could actually do more, the new council can do research to make sure she is the best person for the job. As of right now, she’s shown she is qualified, obviously. We’ve seen her qualifications. She’s done a great job, but I feel we need to do our due diligence to make sure we have the best person on here.”
Upland Treasurer Larry Kinley said, “The new city council should be given their own opportunity to select their own city manager. If they decide another city manager would be needed and they select another city manager, then we are going to be paying twice. We are going to be paying for Vagnozzi’s compensation for one or two years, whatever her contract is, plus the salary and benefits for a new city manager. So we would be up to half of a million dollars, probably, for that position. The new city council should select their own city manager.”
Marla White, a 13-year resident of Upland, said, “The election was a clear mandate that it is a time for a change. With a new council majority taking over soon I would like to encourage this body to hold off on filling the vacant city manager position. It is clear the candidate that is being presented here tonight has high qualifications, but it seems it should be the new city council that should vote on such a critical matter. What is the rush to put in a permanent city manager until these people [the new council] have had a chance to get their feet wet?”
Steve Carvalho asked “What is the rush to appoint a new city manager? The City of Upland has a high turnover rate for city managers. The last one lasted less than one year. How much did that cost the city? What is the rush? The current city council has shown an inability to manage the finances of this city. The recent election showed that the people of this city are paying attention. The residents want change of leadership. No financial or employment decisions should be made by the outgoing city council. The new city council should vet and hire the new city manager. A prudent employer has an interview process and a probationary period before committing to permanent employment. This protects the employer and the employee. So, what is the rush? The Upland City Council has demonstrated repeatedly that they are incapable of handling finances in the best interest of the residents. It is time for those voted out to gracefully step down and recuse yourselves from voting on any financial and future issues, especially city management. We do not need self-serving city leaders.”
Barbara McJoynt said that she was concerned that city staff was violating the proper protocol by “adding an agenda item without full and prior knowledge of the full council.” Her reference in that regard was to the consideration that Elliott had not been informed about the proposal ahead of time.
“I am asking you to postpone action on this item, as I have serious concerns about this process,” McJoynt said. “Recently there was a vacancy on the planning commission. The position was open to application, applications were accepted and the vacancy was filled by appointment. There is now a vacancy on the personnel board, and if I understand properly, the same process is to be undertaken presently. Now you have chosen to deviate from the norm with this move. I’m not in a position to render judgment about this individual, but as to the process, it is flawed.”
David Wade said that City Attorney James Markman had justified Vagnozzi’s promotion as necessary “to keep continuity, to keep a consistency. Nothing is going to change between tonight and next week, except a pay scale rate.” He said hiring Vagnozzi now would cost “hundreds of thousands of dollars more. If it doesn’t work out, like the six city managers we’ve had in as many years didn’t work out, she’s walking away with a huge bonus. That’s what this appears to me to be. A huge bonus for no value added. I believe we should have a hiring process. I don’t see any exigent circumstance whatsoever to do this tonight. I don’t think you need to do anything tonight. I don’t think you need to add to our exposure by giving a large bonus to somebody without proper vetting and the opportunity for other applicants to have a chance to fill this position.”
Hydee Hall said, “I feel that we, the residents, are paying a hefty price right now for a grave mistake that you, the current council members, made. You kept Marty Thouvenell on the payroll for far too long. During his reign, city management appointments were made that you rubberstamped, and they proved to be failures, costly failures. It physically pains me to say this: I think you have no business appointing the next city manager. Let me be clear: Jeannette Vagnozzi should be the next city manager. Her almost thirty years in city government, her expertise, her vast education and knowledge of Upland make her the very best candidate. But I blame the appointment of Marty Thouvenell at $9,000 a month; you made a critically grave error in not hiring her at the time she was vetted a year ago. Instead, you hired a man that could not last a full year. For the incoming council members who are listening in, I implore you to have the patience to delay your decision for at least six months as you get to know Ms. Vagnozzi, her expertise and her work ethic.”
Diane Fedele said, “The current council continues to spend without apparent regard for the impact it has.” She said the council had made “more and more poor choices, ones you have not investigated nor researched thoroughly. You have apparently been relying on one or more persons to tell you how to vote on items. You and previous city councils have been convinced to approve seven city managers in 13 years. For one reason and another, they have all left, and we the residents have paid their severance packages and are continuing to pay them their benefits and their California Public Employee Retirement System pensions to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Now there’s an item tonight on the agenda to hire another city [manager]. I don’t know Jeannette. I don’t know if she’s good at her job. I hear she is. I don’t know if she has played a big role in the coverage you have received before you vote to spend thousands and thousands of dollars. My concern isn’t centered around that. My concern is why are you in such a big hurry to hire her, to promote her. In two weeks, the newly elected council members will be sworn in. Why then, do you feel it is your responsibility to hire someone for them? I know you have been convinced that she knows everything about what is going on, and everything that has yet to be announced to the residents. She needs to be there to make sure the new council votes the way they are supposed to. Wow! Imagine if our new city council members chose to vote the way they believe is right and not the way they are supposed to. The voters in the three districts made themselves pretty clear when they voted to have all of you replaced. They wanted their choices to speak for them. They wanted them to be an independent voice. They wanted them to do their research and investigation.”
Steven Bierbaum said the item to hire Vagnozzi was put on the agenda only after it had become clear that Timm and Filippi would not be reelected. “Last Wednesday, at six o’clock in the evening, the City of Upland posted the agenda for tonight’s meeting,” said Bierbaum. “At that time it listed Item 14 B to address the city council’s intent of hiring a new city manager with no forewarning whatsoever, no application or interview process, and most importantly, no communication with at least one of the current sitting members of this council, who, with respect, will be the only city council member seated here at the next meeting. The city council and senior city staff failed to notify or discuss the proposed hiring of a new city manager with all sitting city council members and city employee groups of their intended actions. Staff instead published its intent the day before the Thanksgiving holiday. Subsequently, Upland City Hall was closed on Thursday. It was closed on Friday, not allowing for any discussion or information to be obtained regarding the agenda item.”
Carolyn Anderson said, “Upland needs Jeannette Vagnozzi now more than ever to provide continuity.”
Brinda Sarathy said, “I am here to raise my sincere and good faith concerns about the city manager appointment in this manner. I believe that appointing Ms. Vagnozzi in this way, by an outgoing city council, casts a cloud over the hire, does a disservice to Ms. Vagnozzi’s reputation, and furthers public distrust, which was clearly evident in the outcome of our recent election. An appointment in this manner might also lead to an atmosphere of toxicity within City Hall, if people feel that process was not followed. I also think the incoming city council should exercise caution and wisdom, so that they can give due time to see how competent Ms. Vagnozzi is and decide how to move forward, also in good faith.”
Don Kendrick, the mayor of La Verne, said he and his council colleagues wanted to keep Vagnozzi in La Verne but she “insisted on leaving. I would like to congratulate whoever hires her because I think Jeannette Vagnozzi is an amazing leader. She has great vision and the ability to see things as they need to be done and those people to get them done. She is a great facilitator of people.”
Kendrick referenced the succession of seven city managers in 13 years in Upland. “That revolving door is going to stop,” Kendrick predicted. “Jeannette Vagnozzi is as committed long term as anybody I’ve ever known. She will be here the rest of her career.”
April McCormick said, “To not submit this process to a bid, advertise it normally, take applications, interview people is a travesty of justice, democracy and everything else in this city that you just stepped on during your tenure here. I can’t believe that this woman is going to be paid I think $311,000 with all the cumulative benefits and entitlements, plus when she is let go by a new council, if that should happen, a $147,000 parting gift, and they have to wait ninety days to even be able to make a decision about what to do with her because you are going to handcuff them to do what you want to do after you’re gone.”
McCormick opined that Vagnozzi is not everything her supporters have cracked her up to be.
“In her role of city clerk she has been unable to answer a public records request,” McCormick said. “She’s not working for the citizens. She’s working against them at every single turn.”
Bob Russi, LaVerne’s city manager, said he had worked with Vagnozzi for the nearly five years between the time he started with the city in 2010 and her departure to Upland in 2015. “She served La Verne very well during that time and having her make the decision to come here to Upland was a very emotional and difficult decision, but I think she came here for all the right reasons, for her and for this community,” he said. “I think she came here to do what’s right and serve this community well, and give it the leadership in whatever capacity to help move Upland forward. Putting her into a full-time position is the right decision for this community. I will happily take her back if she is no longer wanted by the City of Upland. La Verne would love to have her come back and work for us.”
Irmalinda Osuna called for “forming a selection committee, establishing a set of criteria in terms of the mission, vision, goals and objectives for the city, advertising the position opening, evaluating the candidates’ statements of qualifications, documenting the candidates’ strengths and weaknesses and conducting interviews for a final evaluation” before filling the city manager’s position.
In offering his size up of the situation, Councilman Sid Robinson acknowledged conflicted and contradictory principles attended the justification for promoting Vagnozzi, and he obliquely referenced Thouvenell’s unwillingness to recommend her to serve in the capacity of city manager.
“I understand the comments and objections raised tonight and many of those arguments certainly make sense and there were a number of good ideas that were expressed,” Robinson said. “However, I believe there is a lot more to this and it is more complex, and while some of you might not agree, this proposal makes a lot of sense to me. It’s about trying to bring stability to our city. It obviously hasn’t been the case in a number of years. The last search for a city manager started in mid-2016 and took eighteen months before Upland found someone who was qualified and checked all the boxes. When Upland finally did pick a city manager, Jeannette was also a finalist for the position. She’s been vetted and is one of the top finalists after a very long and tiresome and thorough process. We’ve been through this process already and it was very recent.”
Robinson then suggested that the incoming council would not be up to the task of properly selecting a new city manager, and that it was therefore incumbent upon the current council to do so for them. “Let me assure you, it’s an awful lot to ask a new council with at least two and maybe three new members who have never served in any municipal capacity to take this on, especially when the work has already been done,” Robinson said. “It’s a matter of providing them with the type of stability in office I believe they will need. She brings decades of experience as a city administrator along with a wealth of knowledge about how to run a city.”
Robinson said there would be “difficulty in finding a new city manager. We went 18 months. You need somebody who wants to be here. Outside of our world here in Upland, qualified city managers don’t really want to come here as we saw in that last search process. If they do, they are going to ask for a lot more money than is being proposed here. Upland does not exactly have a stellar track record when it comes to city managers. We’ve seen seven over the past ten years. Do you really think we’re going to find someone who is both qualified and affordable? I believe this action is a gift to the next council. And you may not think that way, but I think it is in the best interest of Upland. It may seem counter-intuitive to you but it makes perfect sense both in practical terms and financially. She’s proven her worth and value and I don’t think Upland can afford to lose her.”
Janice Elliott said, “My concern is not about the city manager but the timing and also the selection process.” She said the city could keep Vagnozzi on as the acting city manager and that the selection should “take time. Haste makes waste.” She said the hiring would be a “disservice.” Without mentioning him by name, she referenced the council’s appointment of Linden Brouse to the planning commission at the November 12 city council meeting. There was, she said, “a lack of respect shown by this council to ramrod our last meetings with these appointments,” which she characterized as “disturbing. They are unprecedented. Some cities have lame duck ordinances that wisely prevent irresponsible actions like these. The request to appoint the new city manager is irresponsible, since three of you will not have any accountability after tonight’s action. This action is irresponsible because it ties the hands of the new city council for more than 90 days to make the most important decision that city councils have to make to affect the daily operations of our city. This action is fiscally irresponsible because it will cost us at least $150,000 extra to terminate this contract once ratified if the new city council chooses to do so. Waiting until after the new city council is sworn in reduces significantly this risk.”
Mayor Debbie Stone, like Robinson, made a veiled reference to Thouvenell’s recommendation against hiring Vagnozzi, which she indicated the council had blindly followed. “I’ll be the first one to admit we missed the boat first time around,” Stone said. “Jeannette has done so much for this city. We are overlooking the fact that we have experience, we have knowledge, we have a person who cares about the City of Upland, we have the qualifications, we have compassion and we have a person who is dedicated to this city.”
And, like Robinson, Stone suggested the incoming council will not have the skill and sophistication to make the right hiring decision, so it is up to the current council to do so.
“This has nothing to do with disrespect to the new council, but they need her leadership,” Stone said. “There is hardly anyone left here to lead here and that’s what they need.”
“Councilman Gino Filippi acknowledged, “Some of the choices with city managers have been wrong. Upland needs a responsible and experienced person in that seat. In my view, Jeannette will continue to serve with dedication. She is very proficient. There is far more going on in this city than most people might be aware, and she knows what to do here. The new council will understand that, but it will take time, and if they’re not satisfied with that, they can cut her loose.”
Councilwoman Carol Timm, who was not at the meeting, sent from North Carolina, where she is currently with her parents, a letter to the city in which she said she endorsed Vagnozzi’s hiring. It was read into the record.
Before voting on approving the contract, Elliott sought to amend it so that the restriction on firing Vagnozzi during the first 90 days after the new council is sworn in would be removed and that the element of the contract which confers upon her six months’ salary and benefits as a severance in the event she were terminated be changed so that if she were to be terminated during the first four months of her tenure under the contract, she would only be due a severance equal to one month’s pay for each month she had served in the city manager’s role. That motion died for lack of a second and the contract was approved 3-to-1, with Elliott dissenting.
The council’s action raises Vagnozzi’s base salary to $205,368, roughly $66,000 more per year than the $139,244.85 she was making as deputy city manager and some $58,000 more per year than she was making as assistant city manager. The promotion will also boost by more than 28 percent the pension she will receive upon retirement.

The field to replace James Ramos on the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors has reduced itself to what knowledgeable political insiders say are three potential realistic candidates as of late this week.
Ramos was elected to the board of supervisors in 2012, displacing the then-incumbent, Neil Derry. In 2016, he was reelected handily, outdistancing challenger Donna Munoz, 45,838 votes or 64.58 percent to 25,143 votes or 35.42 percent. This year, halfway through his second term, Ramos opted to run for the California Assembly in the 40th District. As of yesterday, November 29, Ramos, a Democrat, was well ahead of his rival in the contest, Republican Henry Nickel, 75,949 votes or 59.32 percent to 52,088 votes or 40.68 percent.
Consequently, Ramos must resign from his position on the board of supervisors to move into his position in the lower house of the state legislature. He is scheduled to deliver that resignation on Monday. The county’s charter requires the board to fill a vacancy on the board of supervisors within 30 days or schedule an election within 90 days to redress the void or defer the appointment to the governor. The charter is not restrictive as to the means or process of making such an appointment.
As of November 14, the board opened an application period for those interested and qualified to hold the position to apply for the appointment. That application period will close at 2 p.m. on December 3.
Beginning on December 11, the board is to begin interviews with those applicants, which are tentatively slated to be open to the public. Those eligible for the position are registered voters living within the Third District’s confines, which include the eastern half of the City of San Bernardino, Grand Terrace, the Reche Canyon and Cooley Ranch districts in southern Colton, Loma Linda, Highland, Redlands, Yucaipa, Barstow, Big Bear Lake, and Twentynine Palms, the Town of Yucca Valley, and portions of the county’s unincorporated mountain and desert areas.
While the board of supervisors is making a display of conducting an open selection process, the field of likely candidates has already been winnowed to a handful of politicians. Those three likely candidates are Chris Carrillo, Bill Emmerson and Neil Derry, personages close to the board of supervisors maintain.
The Sentinel has learned that Chris Carrillo, who is now James Ramos’s deputy chief of staff and currently a member of the board of directors of the East Valley Water District, is Ramos’s choice to succeed him. It is largely on the strength of Ramos’s recommendation that Carrillo is being considered so carefully by his board colleagues. Detracting from Carrillo’s chances, however, is that he is, like Ramos, a Democrat.
San Bernardino County remains one of the last bastions of Republicanism in the Golden State. Despite the consideration that registered Democrats outnumber registered Republicans in San Bernardino County 369,782 to 278,175, in the November 6 election, Republicans outperformed Democrats at the polls overall within the county’s confines. This occurred despite moderate setbacks to the GOP across the country in the midterm election on November 6 and a severe shellacking the Republicans sustained in California. In Orange County, for example, which for decades and until quite recently was among the most intensely Republican strongholds in the country, the November 6 election resulted in all six of its Congressional seats falling to Democrats. In San Bernardino County, for decades the Republican Party has been strongly structured and its functionaries motivated, energized and oriented toward getting Republicans to show up at the polls or to vote by mail. That has consistently translated to a greater number of Republicans holding office in San Bernardino County than Democrats. One of the only exceptions to that this year was Ramos’s victory in the 40th District, where at present Republican Marc Steinorth is the incumbent assemblyman. The one other partisan office in the county that slipped from the Republicans to the Democrats this year was in California Congressional District 39, a portion of which overlaps into San Bernardino County from Orange and Los Angeles counties, where Republican Congressman Ed Royce did not seek election this year and Republican candidate Young Kim was bested by Democrat Gil Cisneros.
The present makeup of the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors favors the Republicans by a margin of 3-to-2, as supervisors Janice Rutherford, Robert Lovingood and Curt Hagman are Republicans; Supervisor Josie Gonzalez, like Ramos, is a Democrat.
Carrillo, a Georgetown University graduate with a bachelor of arts degree in American government and a master of arts degree in public policy from Claremont Graduate University has done further post graduate study at Stanford University and has a law degree from Loyola Law School. Since 2014, he has owned his own law firm, which is based in Redlands. He was previously, from 2006 until 2012, a field representative for Senator Dianne Feinstein. He was previously deputy chief of staff for Ramos from 2012 until 2014, and returned to that position in June of this year when Ramos finished in second place in the primary election in the 40th Assembly District against the Republican Nickel and another Democrat, Libbern Gwen Cook, thus capturing a berth in the November runoff. Carrillo came back to the post in Ramos’s office largely in anticipation of his being tapped to replace Ramos after the latter’s expected victory in the 40th Assembly District, where a 10.3 percent voter registration advantage the Democrats possess and Ramos’s independent wealth virtually assured him of victory.
Carrillo’s chances of succeeding his current boss hinge primarily upon Ramos’s ability to convince his fellow and sister supervisors that his recently reappointed deputy chief of staff merits stepping into the soon-to-be-vacant position. Ramos has cultivated a cordial working relationship with his colleagues. As a leading member of the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, which operates a highly lucrative casino on that tribe’s reservation in Highland, Ramos has both personal wealth and access to money under the control of the tribe, and both have demonstrated a willingness to support charitable and political causes. Thus, members of the board of supervisors might potentially reap future financial support by complying with Ramos’s wishes at this juncture with regard to his choice of a successor.
On the other hand, three-fourths of the board that will be called upon to fill the vacant slot among its own ranks next month affiliate with the Republican Party. That party loyalty, particularly within the context of perpetuating San Bernardino County as a Republican toehold in California, may prevail over any promptings the board majority may feel to honor their departing comrade.
A second leading candidate for the position, Bill Emmerson, is a dentist by profession, who had obtained a degree in political science from La Sierra University and then became heavily involved in Republican politics, working as a field representative for former Congressman Jerry L. Pettis in the 1960s, and subsequently joining the staff of the Assemblyman and later State Senator W. Craig Biddle, where he worked from 1969 to 1974. Thereafter, Emmerson went to dental school and obtained his dental license and embarked on a 26-year career in the dental profession. In 2004, he returned to politics, successfully running for the California Assembly in the 63rd District, where he served until 2010, at which point he was nearing the point where he would be obliged to leave the lower house because of California’s term limits. Before that occurred, however, Emmerson was presented with an opportunity to extend and intensify his political tenure after 37th District State Senator John Benoit was appointed to the Riverside County Board of Supervisors in November 2009 and a primary election was held in April 2010 to choose Benoit’s successor. Emmerson threw his hat in that ring. No candidate won a majority in that race, but Emmerson as the top vote-getting Republican qualified for a run-off against the top vote-getting Democrat, Justin Blake, and the top vote-getting American Independent candidate, Matt Monica. In the run-off election held that June, Emmerson won with 81,655 votes or 59.66 percent to Blake’s 41,243 votes or 30.13 percent and Monica’s 13,965 votes or 10.2 percent. He was sworn in as a state senator the following day. In 2012, with the reapportionment following the 2010 Census, Emmerson successfully transferred his incumbency in the State Senate to the newly-drawn California Senate District 23, where he was reelected. The following year, however, Emmerson abruptly resigned from office in an effort to head off a brewing scandal relating to a relationship he was having with Mimi Walters, an investment banker-turned-California Assemblywoman/later State Senator, who is currently a Congresswoman. The subsequent special election that had to be held to fill the senate seat for what was to have been the remainder of Emmerson’s term cost taxpayers in San Bernardino and Riverside counties more than $900,000.
Other than lobbying, Emmerson has remained out of politics for the last five years but is now being looked at seriously by the board of supervisors as Ramos’s replacement. Advocating for his selection have been Jim Brulte, the current chairman of the California Republican Party, and Randall Lewis, the vice president and prime mover with the Lewis Group of Companies. Outgoing 40th Assemblyman Marc Steinorth said it is the general perception of many that Emmerson offers the board the “best choice” among the list of possible replacements and that Emmerson’s selection would generate “good will. He would be the safest choice, based on everything I know,” said Steinorth.
Others agreed, saying that all of the candidates to be considered carried “baggage.” One elected official opined that Emmerson qualified as “the least shady” of those being considered. A positive consideration in the elevation of Emmerson to the supervisor’s position is that he would not serve beyond the current term, allowing for an election in 2020 that would not entail one candidate or the other having the advantage of incumbency in that contest. In recent days, however, an opposition research paper that apparently originated while Emmerson was yet in the state legislature has been circulating. It purports to undercut Emmerson’s Republican bona fides, alleging he was given a D rating by the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association on its 2012 “Legislative Report Card,”as a result of his voting record on tax issues. In order to enhance his opportunities while functioning as a lobbyist in Sacramento, Emmerson has changed his voter registration to no party preference.
Neil Derry, said to be the third inside track candidate, was Ramos’s immediate predecessor on the board of supervisors, having served a single term in office, at which point he was challenged by Ramos and Jim Bagley, the one-time mayor of Twentynine Palms in the 2012 Primary Election, which eliminated Bagley from the running. In the November 2012 run-off, Ramos prevailed with 67,382 or 59.13 percent to Derry’s 46,569 votes or 40.87 percent. In 2008, Derry knocked off longtime Supervisor Dennis Hansberger, who had first served on the board of supervisors representing the Third District following his election in 1972 and left the board after two terms in 1980. Hansberger returned to the board by vying for election successfully in 1996, and then was reelected in 2000 and 2004. Derry, who was elected to the San Bernardino City Council in the Fourth Ward in 2001 and then faced no opposition in seeking reelection to that post in 2005, challenged Hansberger for Third District supervisor in 2008, making for a Republican vs. Republican match-up. Hansberger, who had not lost in any of his five previous races for Third District supervisor and had the backing of that wing of the Republican political establishment based in Redlands, underestimated the energy and intensity with which Derry campaigned. Moreover, Derry tapped into electioneering money that was available from the competing and much younger and hungrier Republican establishment based on the west side of the county. Hansberger, who realized too late the depth of the forces that were being mounted against him, was unable to rally in time and Derry achieved victory, garnering 22,567 votes or 51.89 percent to Hansberger’s 20,926 votes or 48.11 percent.
Since Derry was chased from office by Ramos in 2012, he has remained active politically, including serving as the first vice chairman of the San Bernardino County Republican Central Committee, having done so when Supervisor Curt Hagman was serving in the capacity of central committee chairman. Thus, Derry appears to have at least a fair chance of zooming into the position Ramos has kept him out of for the last six years. His chances are complicated by a rivalry between him and Second District Supervisor Janice Rutherford that was extant in late 2011 and 2012 during the earliest part of Rutherford’s tenure on the board. It is unclear at this point as to whether the animosity between the two yet lingers or has diffused. It is recognized that in the current atmosphere, Derry is likely to support policies and changes Rutherford favors. If a rapprochement between the two has occurred, Derry’s viability would be greatly enhanced.
Of some moment is what direction Supervisor Robert Lovingood will go in making his decision. Given the dynamics on the board, his is likely to be the crucial swing vote in determining who will join the four board members on the dais within the Robert Covington Meeting Chambers at the county’s primary administrative building on Arrowhead Avenue in downtown San Bernardino.
It appears that Derry has as many as two solid votes; likewise, Emmerson could muster two votes, as well, though both Gonzales and Hagman are not favorably inclined toward him. Carrillo at this time could likely count on only one solid vote from Supervisor Josie Gonzales, who will be the sole remaining Democrat on the panel after Ramos’s departure. Nevertheless, if a deadlock between Emmerson and Derry emerges, some order of compromise elevating Carrillo might be arrived at.
Similarly, other candidates have been mentioned, all of whose prospects for advancement rely upon an unbreakable deadlock involving Emmerson, Derry and Carrillo, in which case they might be considered compromise substitutions. Those second tier candidates are Barstow Mayor Julie Hackbarth-McIntyre, Redlands Mayor Paul Foster, Redlands Councilman Paul Barich, Redlands Councilman Eddie Tejada, San Bernardino Mayor Carey Davis, Loma Linda Mayor Rhodes Rigsby, Loma Linda Councilman Ovidiu Popescu, Yucaipa Mayor Greg Bogh, Yucaipa Valley Water District Board Member Chris Mann, Grand Terrace Mayor Darcy McNaboe, Grand Terrace Councilwoman Sylvia Robles, Big Bear Lake Councilman Bill Jahn; former Twentynine Palms Mayor Jim Bagley; and former Assemblyman Tim Donnelly.
Additionally, it is reported that former Supervisor Hansberger would be open to accepting the appointment in a two-year interim capacity. A rumor is that Congressman Paul Cook, fresh off an electoral victory but weary of the biweekly cross country commute to Washington, D.C has contemplated making a move down the political evolutionary chain and would accept the supervisorial appointment.
Reportedly, Rutherford’s first choice would be Chad Mayes, the former Yucca Valley mayor and current Assemblyman who was for a short time her chief of staff. Mayes is unwilling to depart from the state legislature, however. There is also an unverified report circulating that very early this year, either right before or right after Ramos declared his intention to run for the Assembly, Rutherford made overtures to Barich and Tejada as well as Steinorth, telling them they could assume the third District supervisorial position in the aftermath of Ramos’s anticipated Assembly victory. In the case of Steinorth, he would have been able to accept such an appointment only upon relocating from his Rancho Cucamonga residence to somewhere within the Third District. Efforts to verify the report that Rutherford made the offer were not successful at press time. Nor could it be verified whether such a commitment could have been delivered upon.

With a little more than a month remaining in Mike Ramos’s sixteen years as District Attorney, one of the most high-profile cases of his tenure as prosecutor inexplicably has yet to go to trial some fourteen years after the alleged crimes occurred and more than eleven years after the case was filed.
In the meantime, some $23 million in public money that was intended for educational purposes which was diverted by the defendants has been spent, invested or whisked into offshore bank accounts, while both of the accused have recreated separate models of their original deceit and converted at least $3.2 million more in public education money to their own use and that of their associates.
The California Charter Academy fraud case materialized as what was represented as being, and is yet believed to be, the most extensive misuse of public education money in the history of California. Moreover, what emerged from the examination of the academy’s operations was an illustration of what opponents of the charter school concept said were weaknesses and a fatal lack of regulation and accountability in the creation of an educational approach that entrusted the education of select students to formulated entities functioning outside the strict parameters of the public public school system.
Charter schools exist as efforts in public asset privatization, and are semi-autonomous public schools that operate using public funds with only minimal oversight by the state school system. They are granted operating permits or are “chartered” under a written contract with a state, a school district or county school superintendent, which are referred to as the authorizers or sponsors. Such a contract – or charter – details how the school will be organized and managed. The ostensible justification for charter schools is that charter schools can function outside the normal parameters of normal schools and can offer a curriculum and educational smorgasbord unavailable in traditional public schools while meeting the requirements of both special needs students and accelerated scholars.
Offering gullible parents the promise of an educational alternative that would allow their children to be educated in a wholesome and Christian environment free of the liberal claptrap espoused by teachers under the sway of the state’s teachers’ unions, Charles Steven Cox founded the ostensibly non-profit California Charter Academy in 1999. Using parent support and enthusiasm for his undertaking, Cox convinced the school board with the Snowline Joint Unified School District, consisting of 11 schools including two high schools, three middle schools, five elementary schools and one kindergarten through eighth grade school, to sponsor one charter school. The Snowline district exists in the San Bernardino County Victor Valley, Mojave Desert and northeastern San Gabriel Mountain communities of Victorville, Phelan, Pinon Hills and Wrightwood. Cox then utilized the enthusiasm garnered from that formation to get Snowline to charter another academy. Thereafter, based on expressions of parent confidence in the educational model he had developed, he obtained two more charter sponsorships, one from the Orange School District in Orange County, and one from the Oro Grande School District further north in the desert of San Bernardino County, to expand the academy into the largest charter school operation in California, with 51 campuses located throughout the state, including one as far removed from Southern California as San Joaquin County.
Simultaneous to his founding of the non-profit California Charter Academy, Cox created Educational Administrative Services Corporation, a for-profit company which was then hired by all four charter schools to manage the day-to-day operations of the charter schools and provide academic supplies such as books, paper, pens, pencils, chalkboards, desks, chairs, projectors, computers, etc. Cox inspired Tad Honeycutt, who in 2000 successfully ran for a position on the Hesperia City Council and in time acceded to the position of mayor, to work with the California Charter Academy as well and create his own set of companies, Maniaque Enterprises and Everything For Schools, which like Educational Administrative Services Corporation delivered educational materials and services to the non-profit charter schools at a profit.
Those for-profit companies greatly inflated the prices they charged for delivering those services and supplies. In some cases, educational materials that were paid for by the charter schools were never delivered. Instead, the money was used for a host of purchases that had no conceivable connection to the operation of schools.
By 2003, teachers at several of the schools were going public with accounts of how students’ educations were being neglected and books and other educational materials were not being provided. According to some of those teachers, Cox and Honeycutt, emboldened by the political connections they had in San Bernardino County, which was the base of operations for the California Charter Academy, Educational Administrative Services, Everything For Schools and Maniaque Enterprises, went so far as to take financial advantage of the teachers themselves in keeping the academy functioning while pocketing the state education system money being provided by the various sponsoring school districts.
According to Christopher Casey, who had been hired by Cox to run one of the academy’s vocational schools, “Steven Cox started out as if he was interested in improving education. Tad talked up the charter school idea to get more students and more schools, telling everyone charter schools were dedicated to better education. But when it turned into just a money-making venture, Tad didn’t have the personality or character to handle it and he just went along with everything Cox was doing.”
The California Charter Academy fell crucially short in the provision of key educational materials, Casey said.
Casey said, “With my own money – my credit card – I set up a home builders school in San Bernardino. I had thirty or forty students signed up. We had the class schedule set and I couldn’t get books. I was working with Jim Melton. I asked for the materials. We never got one book. I pleaded for the books. I didn’t see any results. I couldn’t get books. They weren’t focused on that. I said to them, ‘These are the texts I need.’ I asked them to provide resources. They never did. They just prolonged it and prolonged it and put it off. I started the school hoping they would be seriously focused on education, but when I found out what they were really doing, I lost heart and got out of it.”
Melton was one of then-San Bernardino County Supervisor Bill Postmus’s associates.
It was dishonest and reprehensible, Casey said. “A lot of money went into it,” he said. “They had a tremendous opportunity and instead they just used it to take money out of it. They had some outstanding people who wanted to do the job but their hands were tied.” Part of Cox’s formula, Casey said, was to “get heavy into politics. [Former California Assemblyman] Keith Olberg went to work for the California Charter Academy. Bill Postmus was their major political asset.”
Very early on, political angles with regard to the California Charter Academy manifested. In 2001, Bill K. Postmus, the father of Bill Postmus, who had been elected county supervisor the previous year, went to work for Cox as the director of/lead instructor in the academy’s criminal justice and leadership program.
In 2004, the superintendent of the California Department of Education, Jack O’Connell, suspecting financial irregularities, launched an investigative audit into California Charter Academy. The preliminary findings from that audit created sufficient concern for state education officials to signal to the sponsoring school districts that the California Charter Academy appeared to be grossly out of compliance with the regulations relating to charter schools.
In June of 2004 as the state was withdrawing funding from the California Charter Academy, Supervisor Postmus’s father was in danger of being thrown out of work. At that point, Postmus induced his colleagues on the board of supervisors to vote with him to have the county forward a $77,000 Workforce Investment Grant to the California Charter Academy in an effort to keep the school where the older Bill Postmus was the principal in session.
It was also at Supervisor Postmus’s insistence that Cox had previously hired former California Assemblyman Keith Olberg and had the Charter Academy and Educational Administrative Services Corporation pay him more than $375,000 over three years, ostensibly to develop an “honors program” for the academy’s schools. Olberg, however, did virtually nothing on that project and the so-called honors program was never instituted.
Postmus similarly insisted that Cox endow political action committees he and his chief of staff, Brad Mitzelfelt, controlled with money to support Mitzelfelt’s future political candidacies as well as those of another Postmus ally, Anthony Adams, who served two terms in the California Assembly.
In August 2004, four years after California Charter Academy’s creation, it ceased operations abruptly, throwing teachers out of work and forcing students to hurriedly matriculate back into public schools.
O’Connell intensified and broadened the audit, obtaining search warrants to seize the available financial books kept by the California Charter Academy, Educational Administrative Services, Everything For Schools and Maniaque Enterprises, and detailing investigators to speak with those involved in the academy, administrators, teachers, students and parents. The state’s Fiscal Crisis and Management Team, augmented by an auditing firm hired by the California Department of Education, MGT of America, pored over the documents obtained.
On April 14, 2005, MGT of America and the California Fiscal Crisis and Management Team released their joint financial audit of the California Charter Academy, showing $23 million in taxpayer money paid to the private management companies Educational Administrative Services Corporation, Maniaque Enterprises and Everything For Schools was misappropriated. Among the findings were that Cox had hired several of his family members into what were essentially do-nothing clerical and non-productive administrative positions, that Cox, his family members, other Educational Administrative Services Corporation and Charter Academy employees and Honeycutt were provided with luxury automobiles, and that among the expenses accumulated by the Charter Academy were accommodations in Las Vegas, at Disneyland and the Disneyland Hotel, studio musical recording equipment, spa visits, fishing trips and jet skis.
Cox made $5.5 million in payments to Honeycutt’s for-profit subsidiary without a vote by the academy board to approve the disbursements. Cox’s take was more substantial, around $17.5 million.
The audit detailed multiple conflict-of-interest violations, the improper conversion of private schools to public charter schools, and the falsification of documents and claims to receive public funds.
“The magnitude of waste of precious education funds outlined in the audit was appalling,” said O’Connell.
In late July 2007, a grand jury was impaneled and began inquiries into the California Charter Academy’s operations. On September 4, 2007, Honeycutt and Cox were arrested after being indicted by that special grand jury for their alleged roles in the collapse of the California Charter Academy. Cox and Honeycutt were indicted on a total of 117 counts, including fraud, misappropriation of public funds and grand theft. Cox’s bail was set at $1 million, while Honeycutt’s was logged at $500,000. Both were able to post bail. Law enforcement officials froze their domestic assets, but little of the missing money that officials thought might be recovered was present in their accounts in local banking institutions. It is known that Honeycutt had made multiple trips to Vanuatu, Spain and Argentina in the early and mid-2000s. Some of the taxpayer money provided to the California Charter Academy was used to fund lawsuits brought by Cox and Educational Administrative Services Corporation against public entities. In one case, Cox and Educational Administrative Services Corporation filed suit against the California Department of Education, contending the state had illegally withheld funding from the California Charter Academy. Cox and Educational Administrative Services Corporation did not prevail in that suit. Cox brought another unsuccessful lawsuit alleging impropriety and political motivation on the part of public officials whose actions led to the closure of the California Charter Academy.
A series of miscues, procedural and judicial, along with the corrosive pull of political influence prevented the criminal case against Cox and Honeycutt from being fast tracked from the start.
Honeycutt, through his parental connections as well as his affiliation with Bill Postmus, was active in Republican politics, and was involved in raising money that was used by a number of officials, including judges, to get into office. Honeycutt’s father, Theron, was Hesperia’s mayor in the 1990s. His mother, Kathleen, was California Assemblywoman from 1992 until 1994. Several judges at the Victorville Courthouse declined to hear the case involving Honeycutt or any of Postmus’ political allies, recusing themselves.
Cox and Honeycutt came before Judge Margaret Powers for arraignment. The case was then handed over to Judge Eric Nakata. An effort to recuse Nakata ensued, however, and at the intervention of then-Presiding Judge Larry Allen, the case was transferred back to Powers. Subsequently the case was heard by judges Miriam Morton, John Tomberlin, Jules Fleuret and Arthur Harrison. Eventually the case went to Judge Jon Ferguson in Rancho Cucamonga. In more recent years, motions have been ruled upon and proceedings overseen by Judge Ferguson, before whom it is anticipated the trial will take place, as well as judges Charles Umeda and Ingrid Uhler.
The trial timetable suffered a setback in November 2010 when Cox’s attorney, Earl Wade Shinder, committed suicide. That was more than eight years ago, however, and the delays continued. Attorney Grover Porter, who has represented Honeycutt for more than ten years, and Geoff Newman, Cox’s fifth lawyer, are sufficiently up to speed on the case to proceed to trial. More than four years ago, Porter made a motion to withdraw as Honeycutt’s attorney of record. That motion was denied by Judge Jon Ferguson, who said there was no legal basis for the withdrawal.
There are roughly 52,000 pages of discovery and 459 anticipated trial exhibits. Some 80 witnesses testified before the grand jury, including Postmus, his successor as supervisor Brad Mitzelfelt, Hesperia School Board Member Eric Swanson, and then-Victorville Councilwoman Joanne Almond.
Based upon multiple witness statements and the documentation in the MGT of America/California Fiscal Crisis and Management Team audit, the case against Cox and Honeycutt is a strong one, with bank records, receipts, hotel and resort registrations, airline ticket records and vehicle registrations demonstrating that millions of dollars in funding intended for educational purposes was diverted to pay for vacations, vehicles, recording and video equipment, jet skis, leases on or payments for real estate or to cover political campaign expenses.
The prosecutor on the case is Michael Fermin, who was a deputy district attorney when he was assigned to carry it forward in 2007. After the retirements of former assistant district attorneys Dennis Christy and James Hackleman, Fermin was elevated to the position of assistant district attorney overseeing a major portion of the office’s administrative duties, including its budget and human resources. Today, the case involving the California Charter Academy against Cox and Honeycutt is Fermin’s only remaining prosecutorial assignment. Indeed, the California Charter Academy case, involving allegations of $23 million intended for educational purposes being diverted to unauthorized, improper or illegal use, is one of the most important cases, if not the most important one, in Fermin’s career as a prosecutor. Similarly, it stands among the most intensive of the white collar criminal cases taken up by the district attorney’s office during Mike Ramos’s tenure. Fermin has deferred a number of the district attorney’s office’s appearances in the case to deputy district attorney John Thomas.
For reasons the district attorney’s office has chosen not to clarify, it has delayed again and again and again and again in moving the case to trial, despite its potential for boosting Fermin into the legal stratosphere and serving as a resplendent feather in Ramos’s cap. Among various and sundry other motions and in-court actions, there have been 61 pretrial hearings scheduled and begun, abbreviated, postponed, suspended, partially held or delayed, without the matter coming to trial.
The case originated at a time when there was a much different political lay of the land than exists now. The shift in the political pecking order, and the degree to which the district attorney’s office shielded the now-defunct political dynasty that ruled the roost in 2007 when the case was filed, explicates at least in part the cause for the delay.
By 2004, Bill Postmus had acceded to the position of chairman of the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors. Almost simultaneously, he had become the chairman of the San Bernardino County Republican Central Committee, exercising control over Republican Party endorsements and the delivery of GOP money to local Republican candidates for political campaigning purposes. In 2006, with two years left on his second term as supervisor, Postmus ran successfully for county assessor against the incumbent, Donald Williamson. Postmus thus acceded to the position of the highest ranking tax official in San Bernardino County, with virtual autonomy over how property and assets were to be assessed throughout the entire San Beranrdino County jurisdiction.
In 2007, while Postmus was yet one of the most powerful political figures in the county, Fermin made a politically-driven decision to leave Postmus out of the indictment. Since that time, information implicating Postmus that was then available to the district attorney’s office has become widely known to the public, information which shows Postmus was embroiled in the California Charter Academy Scandal at multiple levels.
Cox emerged as one of Postmus’ major early political supporters, having contributed $25,450 to his political war chest when Postmus was running for supervisor in 2000, utilizing California Charter Academy money to make those donations.
Early on, Postmus was appointed by Cox to serve as a member of two of the boards of the charter schools functioning under the aegis of the California Charter Academy. Postmus then used his status as a charter school board member as a feature in his resumé when he first ran for supervisor.
Action Postmus took, based upon his actual authority as a board member or carry-over authority as a former board member and close affiliate of Cox, became the focus of the grand jury that was impaneled in 2007 and which indicted Cox and Honeycutt. Irrefutable evidence emerged to show Postmus made efforts to ensure that members of his family as well as his political supporters were rewarded with jobs or contracts at or with the California Charter Academy.
Evidence was produced to show that Postmus directed Cox or otherwise arranged, both while he was a charter academy board member and afterward, for money to be diverted to Brad Mitzelfelt, who was Postmus’ chief of staff when he was supervisor, and Keith Olberg, a former state assemblyman who was a key Postmus political ally, in the form of questionable or illegal payments. Postmus worked as district director in Assemblyman Keith Olberg’s High Desert office from 1995 until 1999.
In 2002, Postmus was provided with an all-expenses paid trip to Florida by Cox, who used California Charter School funds to pay for the trip, accommodations and spending cash, which totaled more than $17,000. No explanation of what the trip was for was ever provided.
In 2001, Bill K. Postmus, Bill Postmus’s father, was given a lucrative position as the principal/director/lead instructor in the academy’s criminal justice and leadership program.
Ten years ago, Postmus fell from grace, having been downed by drug use, extortion and bribery scandals. In 2011, he pleaded guilty to 14 felony corruption-in-public office charges unrelated to the California Charter School case, along with a single misdemeanor narcotics violation. Earlier this month the court considered and rejected a motion made on his behalf by his attorney Jeffrey Lawrence to vacate that plea. Thereafter, he was sentenced to three years in state prison and this morning reported to serve that sentence. An element in the more than seven-year delay between the time Postmus entered his guilty pleas and the initiation of his sentence was that part of his plea arrangement was for him to serve as a primary witness in two separate political corruption cases, one relating to his misuse of the assessor’s office and another pertaining to allegations of extortion and bribery involving a vote he made in the final weeks of his tenure as supervisor in 2006 to approve a $102 million payout by the county to settle a lawsuit brought against it in 2002 by the Colonies Partners development consortium over flood water drainage issues at the Colonies at San Antonio residential and Colonies Crossroads commercial subdivisions in north Upland. Prosecutors alleged he had been extorted prior to and bribed after making that vote. He testified at length last year in the trial of the Colonies Partners managing principal, Jeff Burum, who was accused of providing that bribe, and the political operative and one-time president of the sheriff’s deputies’ union, Jim Erwin, who was accused of extorting Postmus, as well as their codefendants, Postmus’ one-time board of supervisors colleague Paul Biane and Mark Kirk, the chief of staff of former Supervisor Gary Ovitt.
There have been longstanding reports that the district attorney’s office originally delayed the prosecution of Cox and Honeycutt because of then-emerging questions about Postmus’s involvement in that scandal and indications that political considerations rather than a cold hard analysis of guilt or innocence entered into the prosecutor’s office’s decision about who would be charged in the California Charter Academy matter. Since that time, there have been reports that the delay of the prosecution of Cox and Honeycutt was subsequently extended because prosecutors were reluctant to initiate the trial in the California Charter Academy case until after the trial for Burum, Erwin, Biane and Kirk had concluded because of the possibility that defense attorneys in that matter would make an attack on Postmus’ credibility, word of which might reach the jurors in the Colonies case, and impact their deliberations and ultimate verdict. An eight-month-long trial on the charges relating to the Colonies Partners lawsuit settlement with the county last year ended in acquittals/a hung jury. The district attorney’s office has declined to comment on why the prosecution in the California Charter Academy Case has been delayed.
Of note is that as the California Charter Academy prosecution languished, both Cox and Honeycutt replicated what they had carried off with the California Charter Academy, albeit on a less grand scale.
In 2009, the Postmus Political Machine was in its last throes, its leader having been exposed as a drug addict, a revelation which resulted in his February 2009 resignation as county assessor. But those who had manned his political machine were yet angling for money, even as political power was slipping from their grasp.
Cox, working as a quiet adviser functioning from the shadows, put together another charter proposal, this time selling the idea to the Adelanto School District. Participating in the free-for-all were Cox; Postmus; Postmus’ one-time chief of staff, Brad Mitzelfelt, who had succeeded him and at that point remained as First District supervisor; Dino DeFazio, a friend of Postmus and the owner of D & D Real Estate and other real estate businesses, including Tri-Land, Inc, in which he was a partner with Postmus; Jessie Flores, a former field representative for Postmus and a then-field representative for Mitzelfelt; Adam Aleman, who was formerly one of Postmus’s field representatives and later one of Postmus’s assistant assessors; Hesperia Unified School District Trustee Anthony Riley, a Postmus political ally; Sentry Home Loans owner and Adelanto Boys and Girls Club President Helene Harris and her husband Hendon Harris; Mitchel E. Pullman, a principal in Arrowhead Properties, IV, LLC; and Peggy Baker, Charles Steven Cox’s sister-in-law.
After Cox prepared the articles of incorporation, the Adelanto Charter Academy was chartered by the Adelanto School District on August 19, 2009. Functioning on a model not very different from that used by the California Charter Academy but on a smaller scale, Cox, Postmus, Mitzelfelt, DeFazio, Flores, Aleman, the Harrises, Pullman and Baker utilized the position of trust they had been vouchsafed to funnel money to themselves or the companies they controlled. In the roughly 15 months the academy was running without any oversight, they managed to loot the operation of more than $2 million that should otherwise have gone toward the education of students but instead was diverted to activities, purchases and disbursements having no conceivable academic application, such as the provision of limousines to the participants by Flores, the owner of Diamond Limousine. The Adelanto Charter Academy contracted with Professional Charter Management, Inc. to have the latter perform administrative services in return for 15 percent of all Adelanto Charter Academy revenues.
According to the California Secretary of State, Professional Charter Management, Inc. was a corporation with Jessie Flores as its chief executive officer and Dino DeFazio in the capacities of chief financial officer and secretary and Kari Murdock as agent for service of process. Kari Murdock is the niece of Charles Steven Cox.
In December 2010, Jessie Flores filed, under penalty of perjury, a certificate of dissolution for Professional Charter Management, Inc. Records, however, show that Professional Charter Management, Inc. continued to receive payments from the Adelanto Charter Academy after that dissolution.
According to records obtained by the Sentinel, the Adelanto Charter Academy contracted with Educational Development, Inc. to perform administrative services in return for 5 percent of all Adelanto Charter Academy income from September 1, 2009 until June 30, 2014. It is not clear whether or how the administrative activities carried out by Educational Development, Inc. either meshed, or conflicted, with the administrative services provided by Professional Charter Management, Inc.
In November 2010, an audit cataloging significant shortcomings in the school’s operations was released, showing the academy had diverted some $2.2 million from educational purposes to the coterie of Postmus’ one-time political hangers-on. On May 17, 2011, the Adelanto School District revoked the charter it had granted to the Adelanto Charter Academy. The Adelanto Charter Academy immediately appealed the decision to the San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools, who upheld the Adelanto School District’s decision on August 1, 2011. The Adelanto Charter Academy appealed that decision to the California Department of Education and continued to operate until notified on April 17, 2012, that “your administrative remedies are exhausted” and “any further appeal of revocation must be sought in a court of local jurisdiction.”
Recognizing that moving the matter into such a forum might well lead to indictments, those behind the operation threw in the towel, having diverted somewhere in the neighborhood of $3.1 million to their own pockets and bank accounts.
The brazenness with which those involved acted is further illustrated by Honeycutt’s seemingly nonchalant behavior in the aftermath of the indictment, as well.
In 2012, a half decade after his indictment but with the case remaining in interminable limbo, Honeycutt sought to again exploit the loopholes in California’s charter school regulations to recreate what had been the most lucrative run of his life. Changing the vowel in his first name from a to e, and adopting his mother’s maiden name, Viera, Honeycutt founded Innovative Academies, billing it as “a learning network platform for private schools in the USA to globalize and connect to students throughout the world.”
Under the guise of “Ted Viera,” and assuming the modest titles of manager and then director of field operations, Honeycutt did not hesitate to think big and go beyond the confines of California to cash in.
“We are actively seeking key ‘Sister School’ partnerships globally with schools, tutoring centers, student recruitment firms, and other education organizations,” he wrote in making his pitch.
The company had 17 employees and was actively pursuing partnerships with schools in mainland China and Taiwan, arranging to accredit students for classes taken in venues outside of the country where the academic institution they were attending was located.
The company offered, Viera told his prospective clients, specialized academic services such as a “dual diploma program, globalization, education management, and English learning.”
Students signing up with Innovative Academies could access the institution’s “Learning Network Platform,” its website claimed, and through it students could earn “a second high school diploma from an elite private school in the United States.”
The company’s website, InnovativeAcadamies.org, is no longer functional.
When California authorities learned of the operation, Honeycutt shut it down.
Repeated and concerted efforts to reach Assistant District Attorney Michael Fermin with regard to the issues pertaining to the case were unsuccessful.
The next pretrial hearing on the matter is scheduled before Judge Jon Ferguson on December 7.

Through active forest management, projects aim to restore forest health and aid in protecting communities.

SAN BERNARDINO—As the first significant winter storm system of the season moves into Southern California, officials with the San Bernardino National Forest are preparing to implement prescribed burning projects across the San Bernardino and San Jacinto mountain ranges. The first project, a pile burn culled from 40 acres of forest thinning, was carried out yesterday morning, Thursday November 28 behind the Mill Creek Visitor Center near Yucaipa. Piles can be burned in rainy and snowy conditions.
Large projects planned for this winter season include:
* Angelus Oaks: 273 acres worth of pile and broadcast burning will occur to create defensible space around the community along Highway 38.
* Bluff Mesa Meadow: This 250-acre meadow restoration project, south of Big Bear Lake, has already received hand treatment work and is slated for a broadcast burn in the spring.
* Baldwin Lake: On the west side of Big Bear Valley, 742 acres of piles created by ongoing contract work to increase and maintain defensible space around homes and road systems are targeted for burning starting in December and into the spring.
* Pine Cove: This 234-acre broadcast burn will maintain the Pine Cove fuel break around the community of Pine Cove, north of Idyllwild. The nearby Westridge fuel break helped firefighters stop the Cranston Fire along Idyllwild’s edge this past summer.
* Thomas Mountain: A broadcast burn that continues prior efforts for ecological restoration and community defense within Garner Valley. This operation on over 1,000 acres of land, with burning targeted for 30 to 70 percent of it, may include the use of helicopter ignition for firefighter safety and effectiveness.
In addition to these large projects, pile burning may occur at several U.S. Forest Service fire stations, visitor centers, recreational areas and communication tower sites. Crews will also be out performing mechanical and hand thinning of other areas, which is the first step toward creating conditions safe for prescribed burning. Before burns, forest staff will notify the public and media via social media and news advisories.
The ignition of all prescribed burns is dependent on several environmental conditions (e.g. wind, humidity, temperature, etc), availability of fire personnel and equipment. The projects are conducted in coordination with the National Weather Service and South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) in order to manage smoke production and minimize impacts as much as possible.
Prescribed burning is an active forest management activity that helps restore ecological functions to the forest. Fire has a frequent natural role in some coniferous regions of San Bernardino National Forest. Caused naturally by lightning, fire has long maintained the health of forests, clearing brush on the forest floor and releasing seeds from pine cones, among other natural processes.
Aggressive firefighting and development within the forest over the past century have allowed fuels to unnaturally build up. That means an overabundance of flammable brush, which can enable wildfire in quickly spreading into the canopy and toward communities and infrastructure. Thinning forested areas helps protect those values.
Forest officials also highly encourage residents and business owners to do their part by creating defensible space around their structures, hardening those structures and planting native, fire-resistant landscaping. The California Division of Forestry has tips for all these steps at ReadyForWildfire.org. 

The San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office has cleared all five of the Barstow police officers involved in the fatal shooting of Diante Yarber that took place in the parking lot of a Walmart in the county’s northernmost city last April.
“Based on the facts presented in the reports and the applicable law, the use of deadly force by all involved officers was a proper exercise of their rights of self-defense and defense of others and therefore their actions were legally justified,” according to a statement from the district attorney’s office provided with the official review of the shooting that was released yesterday, Thursday November 29.
The 26-year-old Yarber was shot at least ten times by Barstow police officers Jimmie Walker, Vincent Carrillo, Matthew Helms and Corporal Jose Barrientos after the quartet had been summoned to the parking lot by the report of a suspicious vehicle on April 5.
In reaching the conclusion that the shooting was justified, the report relies upon statements by the participants; statements by witnesses; a coroner’s autopsy; citations of the law with regard to the use of deadly force by a peace officer, the right to self defense or the defense of another, effectuating an arrest, the nature and level of proper force, retreat and avoidance, imminence of perceived danger and reasonableness in the application of policing authority; video footage of the incident as it was ongoing from multiple vantages including officer-worn and surveillance cameras, and photos taken after the fact.
Prior to moving into the narrative of the case, the 45-page report sets its tenor in the “Background Information” section near its outset on page three by remarking, “Diante Yarber has a prior criminal history that includes convictions of offenses” which it then listed, together with their penal code section references and case numbers, those being “Discharge of Firearm with Gross Negligence… Possession of Controlled Substance… Corporal Injury to Child’s Parent… Resisting, Obstructing, or Delaying a Peace Officer… Escape from Arrest… Battery…”
In the reports “Factual Summary,” it states, “On April 5, 2018, at around 10:53 in the morning, officers from Barstow Police Department were dispatched to the Walmart located at [301] Montara Road, in the City of Barstow, regarding a suspicious vehicle. Witness #3, the reporting party, noticed a black Ford Mustang, occupied by two black males, driving around the parking lot watching vehicles. Dispatch ran the license plate number provided by Witness #3 and advised officers the vehicle came back to a registered owner with last name of Yarber. Officer Andrew Buesa, Officer Vincent Carrillo, Officer Matthew Helms, Officer Jimmie Walker, and Corporal Jose Barrientos were familiar with the last name of the registered owner and responded to the call. The officers believed the Mustang may be occupied by Diante Yarber. The officers were aware Yarber was a gang member known to carry guns and run from law enforcement. Yarber was wanted as a suspect in a stolen vehicle investigation. There was a probable cause declaration as well as a wanted flyer displayed at the Barstow Police Department. In addition, officers knew Yarber had an outstanding arrest warrant for a probation or parole violation. The officers who responded to the call for service were in police uniforms and driving marked police vehicles. Officer Carrillo activated the overhead lights on his patrol vehicle when he initiated a traffic stop of the Mustang. Yarber opened the driver’s door and looked back at Officer Carrillo. Officer Carrillo gave Yarber several commands in a loud clear voice for Yarber to ‘Step out of the vehicle,’ ‘Turn off the ignition,’ and ‘Let me see your hands.’ Yarber was smoking a cigarette and refused to comply with Officer Carrillo’s commands. Instead, Yarber shut the driver’s door, put the Mustang in reverse, and struck the front of Officer Carrillo’s patrol vehicle. After Yarber struck Officer Carrillo’s patrol vehicle, Yarber put the Mustang into drive and accelerated forward toward Officer Walker. Officer Walker pointed his firearm at the Mustang and ordered, ‘Stop. Stop right there.’ The Mustang stopped a few feet in front of Officer Helms’ patrol vehicle which blocked the Mustang’s path. Yarber immediately put the Mustang in reverse and accelerated backward. The Mustang’s front passenger door opened and the passenger, Witness #2, got out of the vehicle while it was moving. Witness #2 was struck and injured by the Mustang after he got out of the vehicle. The Mustang then struck Corporal Barrientos’ patrol vehicle as it continued to drive in reverse. Yarber drove the Mustang backward directly at Officer Carrillo who was standing behind the Mustang. Officer Carrillo was forced to run backwards to avoid being struck by the Mustang. Officer Carrillo reached out to the Mustang with his left hand to try and avoid being run over. The Mustang struck Officer Carrillo’s left thigh before Officer Carrillo was able to get out of the way of the moving vehicle. The Mustang continued to drive in reverse and collided with Officer Buesa’s patrol vehicle. Yarber then put the Mustang into drive and accelerated forward in the direction of Officer Carrillo and Corporal Barrientos. Afraid for their safety, Officer Carrillo and Corporal Barrientos fired their weapons at the Mustang. Afraid their partners were about to be killed, Officer Walker and Officer Helms fired their weapons at the Mustang.”
Much of the report’s narrative relies upon witness statements, which are intersticed with a general narrative that essentially recapitulates the district attorney’s office’s narrative. Two of the key witnesses in this regard are two of the three passengers who were in the vehicle with Yarber when he drove into the Walmart parking lot, where he had returned to pick up a woman he had driven there earlier so she could shop. One of those in the car was Yarber’s cousin, the owner of the Mustang, who was designated by the district attorney’s office as Witness #4. He was seated in the rear driver’s side seat of the Mustang during the events in question. The Sentinel has identified him as Weslie Yarber. Seated in the rear passenger seat seat was Witness #1, a female friend of Yarber’s, whom the Sentinel has identified as Marian Tafoya. Witness #2, Yarber’s half-brother, whom the Sentinel has identified as Marlon Hawkins, was seated in the front passenger seat.
Witness #2, who was injured when he exited the vehicle and was hit by the car door as Yarber backed up, was interviewed by Detective Claus Hartleben of the sheriff’s department at the Arrowhead Regional Medical Center, the main campus of the county hospital in Colton, but was not cooperative in helping Hartleben or the district attorney’s office in establishing a narrative. “Witness #2 stated he did not know anything and did not know what happened during the shooting,” the report states. “Witness #2 was unwilling to provide any additional information to Detective Hartleben.”
Witness #1 and Witness #4 did, however, speak with investigators, and the district attorney’s office seized upon certain elements of their statements to support the finding that the shooting of Yarber was justified.
Witness #1 indicated that after Yarber was in a parking stall and was approached by officers, he shut off the car’s engine, opened the car door and indicated to the officers that he was going to comply with their order that he exit the vehicle but then closed the door and started the car, indicating he was going to leave. Witness #1 also stated that Witness #4 told Yarber to stop the car but Yarber disregarded him.
Witness #4 was interviewed by Hartleben and another sheriff’s detective, Julius McChristian. According to the report, Witness #4 essentially confirmed Witness #1’s account that Yarber initially indicated he was going to comply with the officers’ demands that he get out of the vehicle, adding that Yarber was at that point complying with the officers’ instructions in that he “showed his hands” and that “Yarber’s palms were facing the officer as he partially opened the door.” According to the report, Witness #4 stated that shortly thereafter “Yarber turned to his right, closed the driver’s door, put the car in gear and attempted to drive off. Witness #4 did not know why Yarber was not following the officer’s commands nor did Witness #4 know why Yarber attempted to drive away. Yarber drove forward, backed up, and attempted to pull forward again. Witness #4 and Witness #1 told Yarber, ‘What are you doing? Stop. Wait. What’s going on? Don’t pull off.’ Witness #4 said… Yarber did not reply and continued driving the Mustang forward and backwards. Witness #4 said Yarber ‘punched’ the gas each time he traveled forward and backwards.” Also according to the report, “Witness #4 stated he knew law enforcement had been looking for Yarber for a possible probation violation. Witness #4 believed Yarber wanted to run from the police because Yarber knew he had violated his probation.”
The report also laid the foundation for a legalistic justification of the action of the police officers by relating the statements of Witness #3, who in essence had precipitated the fatal event through a report to the police department relating to the black Mustang. Witness #3 was interviewed by Sheriff’s Detective Narcie Sousa on April 5, 2018, who established that Witness #3 had come to Walmart with her son the morning of April 5 “and parked in a stall located a couple spaces away from a black Ford Mustang. Witness #3 exited her vehicle, grabbed her son, and walked toward the store. Witness #3 noticed two black males sitting inside the Mustang with the windows rolled down. Witness #3 shopped inside the store for approximately thirty minutes. When Witness #3 exited Walmart, she noticed the black Mustang had moved to a different location. Witness #3 believed the two males may be breaking into vehicles. Witness #3 took a photograph of the rear license plate of the Mustang as it drove to a different area of the parking lot. Witness #3 called Barstow Police Dispatch and advised them of the Mustang and provided a license plate number.”
Witness #3’s statement established that the officers had probable cause to attempt to stop the Mustang.
The report references 13 witnesses in total, with nine of those being individuals who had come to Walmart that morning and were in or near the parking lot when the confrontation and shooting occurred. Those witnesses in essence established that there were police lights flashing, that the officers at some point were surrounding the Mustang, that they were giving commands to exit the vehicle, that the commands were not complied with, that the Mustang was moving in reverse rapidly, that the Mustang crashed into two vehicles, that the officers were yelling at the driver to stop the vehicle, and that gunshots ensued.
The report also provided statements from the officers. According to the report, “At one point, Yarber drove in reverse again toward Officer Carrillo’s patrol vehicle. Yarber made a sharp reverse turn and drove in reverse northbound in the center of the aisle. Officer Buesa saw Officer Carrillo behind the Mustang putting his hand out. Officer Buesa believed Officer Carrillo had been struck or run over by the Mustang. Officer Buesa put his patrol vehicle in reverse and tried to block Yarber’s path. Yarber collided with the right rear quarter panel of Officer Buesa’s patrol vehicle. Officer Buesa injured his back during the collision. Yarber drove forward after he struck Officer Buesa’s patrol vehicle at which time Officer Buesa then heard gunshots. Officer Buesa did not know where the gunshots were coming from. Officer Buesa estimated he heard ten to fifteen shots fired. Officer Buesa quickly got out of his patrol vehicle. Officer Buesa noticed the Mustang starting to coast to the rear at a slow pace.”
According to the report, “Yarber was pronounced deceased by Barstow Fire Department Firefighter Paramedic Zackary Courtney at 1129 hours at the scene.”
The report further references postmortem examinations which show Yarber sustained ten gunshot wounds, one to his left arm back to front, right to left, and upward shattering his ulna; another to his left arm, from back to front, right to left, and upward; a third to his left arm, from “right left” and upward; a fourth to his left arm from back to front, right to left, and upward; a fifth to his left arm from front to back, left to right, and downward with “associated injuries of projectile defects of the left shoulder muscle”; a sixth to his left upper back (superior) from front to back, left to right, and upward; a seventh to his left upper back (inferior) from back to front, left to right, and upward; an eighth to his “right and left chest noted on the right lower back” from right to left, back to front, and upward; a ninth to his right upper chest from front to back, left to right, and upward; and a tenth shot to his right arm evidencing a graze entry wound on the anterior right forearm with no direction of the wound path noted. An audio analysis of a cell phone recording of the shooting done by the Sentinel earlier this year found there were at least 38 shots fired.
The report also provides “Public Background Information on Officer Walker” and “Public Background Information on Officer Buesa.” That information relates to five counts filed against Walker in 2010 related to his involvement in a drunken “hate crime” assault against an African-American couple that involved the use of racial epithets. The report gives a sanitized version of that occurrence, noting that Walker entered a plea to Penal Code Section 415(1) disturbing the peace by fighting or challenging to fight and Penal Code Section 647(f) public intoxication. The report notes that a police officer board of rights panel in 2004 found Officer Buesa, who then worked for the Los Angeles Police Department, guilty of misconduct relating to a 2002 arrest and recommended he be discharged. On September 29, 2004, the Los Angeles chief of police adopted the recommendation that Officer Buesa be terminated for failure to report the use of force against a suspect. He was fired.
The San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office routinely finds all law enforcement officer shootings that occur within its 20,105 square mile jurisdiction, both fatal and non-fatal, to be justified. In June, shortly after he was defeated in his bid for reelection, District Attorney Mike Ramos provided an assurance that before he is to leave office in January his office would make a finding that Yarber’s shooting was justified and that criminal charges against the involved officers are unwarranted.
The Yarber report embodies certain inconsistencies and contradictions, both internal and external.
The report relates, “Yarber was smoking a cigarette and refused to comply with Officer Carrillo’s commands.” Under the heading “Toxicology” the report states “Chest blood and vitreous fluid were collected from Yarber during the autopsy. Toxicology results for the chest blood sample were listed as follows: • Ethanol 80 mg/dL • Blood Alcohol Concentration 0.080 g/100mL • Cocaine 120 ng/mL • Cocaethylene 170 ng/mL • Benzoylecgonine 1700 ng/mL • Delta-9 Carboxy THC 7.8 ng/mL • Delta-9 THC 1.5 ng/mL.” The toxicology analysis makes no mention of metabolites from tobacco in Yarber’s system.
The report notes that officers Buesa, Helms, Walker, Carrillo and Corporal Barrientos were equipped with Axion body cameras that captured video of the incident and that the dashboard cameras in the patrol vehicles of Officer Helms, Officer Carrillo, Officer Walker, Officer Buesa, and Corporal Barrientos were activated and recording, as well. In addition there were five surveillance video camera recording activity in the Walmart parking lot that day which recorded some of the activity related to the shooting. That video footage was obtained from Walmart. The district attorney’s office, while referencing the video footage in making the case that the shooting was justified, has not released and continues to withhold the actual footage.
The report also omits crucial information that would allow for independent analysis of the veracity of its contents, such as the names of witnesses, as well as references such as the address of the Walmart.
In a deviation from the district attorney’s office’s customary protocol, the report clearing the officers is not signed by any single prosecutor in the office and a supervisor but is rather attributed to the “San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office.”
In its conclusion, the report states, “Based on the facts presented in the reports and the applicable law, Corporal Barrientos’ use of deadly force was a proper exercise of Corporal Barrientos’ right of self-defense and defense of others and therefore his actions were legally justified. Based on the facts presented in the reports and the applicable law, Officer Carrillo’s use of deadly force was a proper exercise of Officer Carrillo’s right of self-defense and defense of others and therefore his actions were legally justified. Based on the facts presented in the reports and the applicable law, Officer Helms’ use of deadly force was a proper exercise of Officer Helms’ right of defense of others and therefore his actions were legally justified. Based on the facts presented in the reports and the applicable law, Officer Walker’s use of deadly force was a proper exercise of Officer Walker’s right of defense of others and therefore his actions were legally justified.”
