A 32-year-old Rancho Cucamonga man got exactly what he deserved when he mixed it up with deputies who had been called to an apartment complex in March 2024 in response to his erratic behavior and he ended up dead, those proud of the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department say.

Antoinette Jensen, Whistleblower, Filed Safety Reports and Was Constructively Terminated
Rancho Cucamonga, CA — Submitted public documents confirm that Etiwanda School District (ESD) operated a preschool program where Transitional Kindergarten (TK) students were placed into preschool classrooms staffed by individuals without the required credentials. During this time, the district collected monthly tuition from families while also receiving public funding through LCFF, Special Education, ELO-P grants, and Medi-Cal billing.
Between 2022 and 2023, Antoinette Jensen, a former early childhood educator and mandatory reporter, submitted internal safety and credentialing complaints. She was later constructively terminated.
Financial Summary (2008–2023)
Key Findings from Public Documents
Alta Loma USD Comparison
Alta Loma School District’s CHAMPS preschool program also charges tuition to general education students enrolled in special education inclusion classrooms. On May 7, 2025, the district approved a tuition increase to $360/month, with a $50 registration fee, per its public board agenda. The CHAMPS program operates on public campuses and uses public staff while collecting fees from families.
This model mirrors practices documented in Etiwanda USD, where families were also charged tuition while the district received multiple public funding streams.
Lack of Transparency in Local Control and Accountability Plans
Neither Etiwanda USD nor Alta Loma USD disclosed tuition revenue from general education students in their Local Control and Accountability Plans. Both districts accepted public education funds while running preschool programs that required monthly tuition payments from families. These practices do not appear in budget sections, funding goal narratives, or compliance reporting tables in the most recently available LCAPs.

With the heightened scrutiny the Upland City Council has been subjected to in the course and aftermath of the effort to place Upland residents’ utility bills on the county tax roll, calls are being heard to arrest what is now widely perceived to be the pay-to-play ethos at the basis of that failed initiative.
While city officials in less affluent Fontana and Rialto, with their less educated and unsophisticated and largely politically apathetic populations were able to get their residents to hold still for placing their sewer and trash bills on the county tax roll, when Upland officials sought to do the same, a firestorm of controversy and resistance eventually erupted, the intensity of which last week dissuaded the council from continuing with the plan. Before the opposition in Upland had fully developed and elected officials were yet under the impression that those inveighing against the change were few and isolated, they ruthlessly tore into those questioning the wisdom of loading landowners’ property tax bills with added charges that would need to be settled on a twice-yearly basis. Those against the idea were obstructionists getting in the way of good governance and efficiency, the council members said, and they belittled any of their constituents unwilling to accept the new billing methodology petty troublemakers.
As more and more of the city’s homeowners became aware of what was happening, however, the numbers of those questioning what the city was ramrodding through grew into legions. In formulating the proposal, it assigned the city’s special projects consultant, Chris Alanis, to put together the report/recommendation for making the change. That report enumerated all of what Alanis touted as the benefits of placing city residents’ sewer service charges, trash service charges and a storm drain assessment/fee the city had begun levying on homeowners at some indeterminate point onto each individual homeowner’s twice-yearly tax bill.

An eight-man, four-woman jury on Thursday found Justin Halstenberg guilty on nine of the 12 arson counts he was charged with relating to setting three fires in Highland on September 5, 2024, the last which took hold and burned up the foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains and across the San Bernardino National Forest, charring 44,780 acres in its northeasterly progression all the way to the outskirts of Big Bear in becoming the fourth largest fire in recorded county history.
Before a mostly hostile crowd at the Chino Senior Center, all six of the seven members of the planning commission present gave approval to what has been dubbed the Eden project, a plan by Orbis Schafer, a division of Newport Beach-based Orbis Real Estate Partners to construct on 10 acres at the northwest corner of Euclid and Schaefer avenues a four-story, 264-unit apartment building, a 132,438-square-foot self-storage facility, a five-story parking garage, two drive-through fast food operations and a 20,800-square-foot retail center.
While 18 orange-vest or orange-shirt clad members of the Western States Carpenter Union, some of whom addressed the commission four individuals in plain clothes accompanying them and seven individuals associated with Orbis Real Estate Partners or the Allen Matkins Law Firm representing it were in favor of the project, virtually all of the remaining 108 people in the room who were not city staff or members of the press appeared to be opposed to the project.
Many of those opposed to the project did so on the basis of the contention that by both its density, height and use, it will prove incompatible with the existing residential neighborhoods it borders. Some expressed the concern that its approval will set a precedent with regard to the development of property in the Chino Agricultural Preserve that was annexed to the city roughly a quarter of a century ago. While Chino is no longer the largely agricultural and slow-paced small town that it was in the first half of the 20th Century or the progressively more suburban community it was in the latter half of the 20th Century, its 29.7-square miles, with a population density of 3,205 are far less crowded than other parts of the greater Los Angeles Metropolitan area. If the standards in Orbis’s Eden project are replicated in the development of the remainder of the remainder of the property in the former agricultural preserve, they pointed out, Chino will be on trajectory to become indistinguishable from the expanse of wall-to-wall houses and accompanying commercial and industrial uses present in central and western Los Angeles County, such as Alhambra with its 10,887 residents per square mile, West Covina and its 6,674 residents per square mile, Monterey Park and its 7,970 residents per square mile, Whittier with its 5,823 residents per square mile and Baldwin Park, with its 11,369 residents per square mile.

FBI agents and local law enforcement investigators who spent three solid days late last week and early this week searching for evidence at the Twentynine Palms residence of the 25-year-old man it is now their consensus opinion was solely responsible for the car bomb explosion outside the American Reproductive Centers fertility clinic in Palm Springs on May 17 have concluded their extensive survey of the property.
Normal activity in the neighborhood in the 5500 block of Adobe Road has resumed. Authorities have offered assurance that any explosives or ordnance it was earlier believed might be located on the property along with other possible hazards has been removed.
Guy Edward Bartkus, a 2017 graduate of Yucca Valley High School, drove his car into the parking lot of the American Reproductive Centers fertility clinic located at 1199 North Indian Canyon Drive in Palm Springs, about a quarter of an hour before 11 a.m. on Saturday May 17.
The clinic was closed on weekends, and this allowed him to locate his vehicle, a 2010 silver Ford Fusion with the license plate 8HWS848, close to the rear of the building. He got out of the car, bringing with him a tripod and a video camera. He placed the camera in a position calculated to bring both the Ford Fusion and the building in which the clinic was housed within the camera’s field of focus. After Bartkus tinkered with and adjusted the video equipment, what investigators have now conclusively determined was an improvised explosive device inside the vehicle containing a “substantial” quantity of a nitrate-based explosive detonated at 10:52 a.m. There was extensive but incomplete damage to the clinic, in which a huge hole was created in the wall closest to the Fusion, a major portion of the building’s roof collapsed, and a good portion of the clinic itself was sliced through. Nearby buildings sustained a lesser degree of damage, as debris was sent flying as far as an eighth of a mile away and some windows even further away than that were shattered. Continue reading
Barely six months after the Redlands community’s self-styled social conservatives flexed their electoral muscle by electing two darlings of the political and religious right to the Redlands Unified School District Board of Trustees, a 3-to-2 majority of that panel voted to censure one of the board’s left-leaning members.
Against the odds, the demographics and an entrenched and overwhelming Democratic establishment in Golden State that has embraced liberal causes and overwhelmed Republicans, in a handful of conservative pockets in in California have shave utilized the superior numbers they have in their local jurisdictions, primarily school districts, to take up a cultural struggle that they have surprisingly, at least to some, been able to win.
In California, the Democrats dominate Sacramento and have an equally lopsided advantage in terms of representing the state in Washington, D.C. The governor, lieutenant governor, California Attorney General, California Secretary of State, the state treasurer, state controller, state comptroller, insurance commissioner and superintendent of public instruction are all Democrats. The Democrats hold a supermajority in both the upper and lower houses of the state legislature, with 31 out of 40 seats in the California Senate and 60 of 80 in the California Assembly. Both of California’s U.S. senators are Democrats and 43 of its 52 members of the U.S. House of Representatives are Democrats. Continue reading
A 66-year-old man who comes across as the personification of Hardtack Jack in the 1966 Eileen Hill novel “Mystery of the Blue Pelican” is being held at Men’s Central Jail in Los Angeles in lieu of a $295,000 bond.
Like Hardtack Jack, Michael Flinn lives – or at least until last week resided – in a rustic cabin in a remote California forest wilderness and exhibited a tendency to grow confrontational with those who intruded on his environs.
There have been reports about someone who was living in a rugged and difficult-to access area of the Angeles National Forest along the south approach to Mount Baldy going back for years.
On January 12, three men and two women were hiking along a seldom-used trail in the dense portion of the forest three to four miles past the trailhead above Mount Baldy Village when five of them encountered a man, latter determined to be Flinn. The man was unappreciative of the intrusion. Flinn was armed with a sledgehammer, which he swung with purpose at several trees while telling the five they needed to get off his property.
More than five months later, on May 16, a 32-year-old hiker and her dog were heading south on the trail through Dry Lake Canyon when she encountered Flinn, who, she later reported, was crouching down on the trail in front of her and was blocking her way forward. She made three attempts to go around him. When she did, the 6-foot tall, 170-pound Flinn came up off his haunches and threw branches toward her. She fell, and Flinn came up on her with a large branch which he lifted over his head.
Before he could actually hit the woman, however, two other hikers came down the trail. One approached Flinn, distracting him long enough for the woman to scramble past him and the other hiker assisted her and her dog to get away.
Authorities were called and Los Angeles County deputies were able to find Flinn later that afternoon. They attempted to arrest Flinn on suspicion of false imprisonment. As one of the deputies approached Flinn, who was carrying a knife but did not attempt to use it, kicked the deputy in the testicles. Shortly thereafter, he was taken into custody.
He appeared in West Covina Superior Court on Wednesday, May 21, at which point he was charged with five felony counts of making criminal threats and one felony count of false imprisonment. He pleaded not guilty.
It is believed Flinn has been living in the mountains since 2012. His last known address outside the wilderness was in Upland.
He is being held at Men’s Central Jail in Los Angeles in lieu of $295,000 bail.
