What were originally undertaken as upgrades and improvements to the Redlands Bowl are getting less than rave reviews upon completion, as attendees at this season’s performances report that the poles for the replacement and new crow’s nests put in place for sound and lighting interfere with the view of the stage, at least from certain perspectives.
Since 1924, the Redlands Bowl has served as a venue for a variety of musical and theatrical performances put on by entities, troupes and organizations from Redlands and elsewhere in the Inland Empire region, such as the Redlands Bowl Summer Music Festival and formerly the Redlands Shakespeare Festival. The
Redlands Bowl Summer Music Festival holds the distinction of being the oldest continuously running summer music festival in the United States where no admission is charged. Other performing arts programs put on at the Redlands Bowl include the Children’s Summer Festival Workshops, Young Artists Auditions, and Music in the Schools Programs. The Redlands Bowl is also used for other
community events, including graduations for local schools. Continue reading →

Former Fontana Assistant Police Chief Alan Hostetter has been found guilty of engaging in insurrection during the January 6, 2021 riots at the U.S. Capitol, where he exhorted an already agitated crowd to obstruct the certification of the November 2020 in favor of Joseph Biden.
Judge Royce Lamberth, who heard the case against Hostetter as a bench trial after the defendant waived his right to a trial by jury, found that despite Hostetter’s professed and actual belief that the election had been stolen from then-incumbent President Donald Trump at the time of his action and his more recently-adopted and professed belief that several of those he was acting in concert with on the days leading up to January 6th as well as on the day of the protests were agents provocateur working on behalf of traitors within the government who had betrayed Donald Trump, the former lawman’s activity had crossed the line from legitimate protest to an effort to overthrow the legally-constituted government.

With a series of three claims that have jarred and outraged residents and public officials both within her community and outside of it, Rialto Mayor Deborah Robertson is threatening to sue the city she has headed for more than a decade for $7.35 million.
The scope and audaciousness of her effort to personally profit through the sway she holds over 104,025-population Rialto’s decision-making process has left even some of her most ardent political supporters aghast.
Pointed up in the burgeoning controversy is the degree to which Robertson is now contending that she is a virtual outcast at Rialto City Hall, which absolutely clashes with the image of an astute public servant with a command over the bureaucracy of local government which she has cultivated for herself and promoted going back for nearly a quarter of a century and which has served her well in her political career.
At this point, Robertson and another member of the Rialto City Council, Ed Scott, are two of the longest-serving elected municipal officials in San Bernardino County. Robertson, a Caltrans employee and a Democrat, was elected to the city council in 2000, and after three terms in that capacity, was elected mayor in 2012, gaining reelection in 2016 and 2020. She has indicated she will seek reelection in 2024.
Scott, an entrepreneur and Republican, was elected to the city council 1996. In 2000, Scott vied, ultimately unsuccessfully, for San Bernardino County supervisor, necessitating that he forgo running for reelection as councilman. In 2004, he was once again elected to the city council and was reelected in 2008. In 2012, he was defeated by Robertson when he ran for mayor. For two years, Scott was absent from the council, but in 2014 was again elected to council, and thereafter was reelected in 2018 and 2022. Continue reading →

Neither Caltrans nor the Highway Patrol performed adequately or competently in response to the intense blizzard that left the mountain communities snowed in for three weeks at the end of February and the first half of March, according to a critique compiled by an ad hoc committee formed by Supervisor Dawn Rowe.
What is now referred to as the Blizzard of ’23 manifested with heavy snowfall on February 22, which continued without respite until March 2, during which time more than 100 inches of snow fell on various spots in the San Bernardino and San Gabriel Mountains in back-to-back-to-back storms, icing major roads and leaving them impassable.
Conditions were at their worst within the internal communities of Crestline, Lake Gregory, Blue Jay, Lake Arrowhead, Cedarpines Park, Cedar Glen, Valley of Enchantment, Arrowbear, Sugarloaf, Twin Peaks, the county district of Big Bear and the incorporated city of Big Bear Lake, with cars buried in snow to the point that even when snowplows did reach where they were, often those cars would be damaged and rendered undrivable after being hit by the snowplows. The sheer weight of the falling snow began causing damage to natural gas lines, resulting in fires and explosions. Continue reading →

Victorville’s seeming inability to hang onto a fire chief in the aftermath of the 2019 resurrection of its municipal fire department has manifested once again with David Foster’s abrupt departure barely three months after he took on the assignment of leading the department.
The department instantaneously and seamlessly switched gears, such that Deputy Chief Bobby Clemmer for a week took command of the agency, which then double-clutched to reestablish William “Willie” Racowschi, who had served as interim chief between January and April, as the department’s acting chief.
Some are saying that the department, once considered a premier governmental organization in the High Desert, has been cursed by the move a decade-and-a-half ago to dissolve it, despite the department’s revival four years ago. Continue reading →

Redlands Councilwoman Denise Davis is now a mother, having given birth to a boy in March.
Davis has been a member of the city council since 2018, when she was the top vote-getter among five candidates to represent Redlands District 1. Last year, she was reelected.
Davis said she was reluctant to go into specific detail about her son, saying, “I would like to keep my private life from becoming a focus, but I think it is important for people to know I had a baby.”
Davis acknowledged that traditionally, women of childbearing age have not been widely involved in politics generally in Southern California and, further, that in Redlands over most of its history going back to its incorporation in 1888, women only sporadically participated in the political process, with just three distaff mayors in 135 years. In both ways, Davis indicated, she stands out.
But she is not breaking any new ground, she said, pointing out that in the last few years, the tenor of politics in the Inland Empire has begun to change.
“Eastvale Councilwoman Jocelyn Yow, Corona Councilwoman Jacque Casillas, Palm Springs Councilwoman Christy Holstege and Riverside City Councilwoman Erin Edwards all have had babies while they are in office over the last few years,” Davis said. “Norco City Councilwoman Katherine Aleman had hers before she was elected, but she has four very young children, all, I think, under the age of eight. I know all of these woman personally. They’re my friends. Seeing them do it, balancing being in office and being mothers, gave me the confidence that I could, too.”
Women, locally have come into their own politically in the last decade, Davis said.
“I think society is undergoing a shift, with more women in office and more women in office having babies,” Davis said. “Post 2016, you have seen younger women getting involved politically and that is because they are being encouraged to run for office.”
Asked by the Sentinel if being a mother has changed her as a politician, Davis said she believes it has.
“Having a baby made me think about what mothers who support families are going through or just about families in general,” she said. “You work to support a baby and you find out what it takes for healthcare and other considerations. I needed to add my baby to my health coverage with the city and as I was filling out the forms, I could see how much more that is going to cost. It makes you more empathetic with the situation working families find themselves in.”
Practical issues aside, Davis said, being a new mother is enlivening.
“I am so excited to be a mother and have a child,” she said. “I am looking forward to raising him here in Redlands.”
