For three succeeding generations of potheads when marijuana was illegal, a constant refrain they made in the praise of weed while calling for its legalization was was that it was a more benign intoxicant than alcohol. One of the herb’s selling points was that a night of smoking it would not leave one with a hangover the next morning. Despite that, now, at the end of 2018, with the substance having been legalized, the City of Adelanto has awakened from a three-year plus pot party with one doozy of a collective headache of migraine-scale proportion, one that is likely to cost taxpayers tens of millions of dollars. A remarkable aspect of the circumstance is that a substantial number of those residents with the incessant pounding in their temples never tried the stuff.
Accompanying the headache is a serious question as to whether the citizenry as a whole should be held responsible and financially accountable when their elected leadership runs renegade.
The troika of Rich Kerr, John Woodard and Charles Glasper blew into office in November 2014, supplanting respectively then-Mayor Cari Thomas, and councilmen Steve Baisden and Charles Valvo. Kerr and Woodard, who had their share of encounters with fired-up marijuana, had a vision – not unlike the vision of St. Paul who had his own encounter with a burning bush on the road to Damascus that would have its societally transformative impact – that a major shift was in the wind. Eighteen years before their election, the voters of California had spoken with the passage of 1996’s Compassionate Use of Marijuana Act, which allowed those with a prescription from a medical doctor to use marijuana for medical purposes. Momentum was building that would fully manifest with 2016’s passage of Proposition 64, California’s Adult Use of Marijuana Act, which would legalize use of the substance for its intoxicative effect. Together with the support of then-incumbent Councilman Jermaine Wright and the more tentative support of Glasper, both Kerr and Woodard began laying the foundation for getting their city, which was tottering on the brink of bankruptcy when they came into office, in on the ground floor of the coming marijuana-based economic boon.
Initially, they attempted to dress the revolution in as conventional of garb as they could. They did not immediately call for across the board liberalization of the city’s ordinances pertaining to marijuana or the relaxation of regulations. It started with the reasonable-enough seeming proposal to simply allow medicinal-grade marijuana to be grown in indoor nurseries located within the city’s existing industrial park, with the proviso that the crops would be sold wholesale only to the operators of medical marijuana dispensaries located outside of the city. None of that marijuana was to be available for retail sale in the city, and the establishment of marijuana retail facilities was yet prohibited in Adelanto. The idea, as it was publicly represented, was to merely allow the city to capitalize on growing an agricultural product to feed the demand elsewhere.
Internally at City Hall, however, something else entirely was going on. The nursery concept was merely a ploy to get one foot in the door and then follow it with further liberalizations/radicalizations that were ultimately aimed at transforming Adelanto into the marijuana capital of California and a virtual worldwide cannabis mecca. Even before the irresistible momentum toward that goal fully manifested, there were city employees who saw that there was something illegitimate-seeming about what was going on, that the initiative to move Adelanto toward a cannabis-based economy that would fill city coffers with cannabis tax revenue carried with it the intent of at the very least lining the pockets of the controlling council majority’s cronies if not the pockets of those council members themselves.
An early casualty of the city’s change in direction from a city that adhered to the essentially uniform prohibition that most if not all San Bernardino County cities had with regard to the commercial availability of marijuana was, not surprisingly, Adelanto’s long-time city manager, Jim Hart. Very early on – just three months into Kerr’s and Woodard’s tenure on the council – Hart had come to a realization of the scope of the council majority’s true intention. In private with the council, he registered his reservations, but it was clear that the council was determined. Hart resigned in February 2015, effective the following month. The council moved to replace him with City Engineer/Public Works Director Tom Thornton, believing he would be amenable to facilitating their designs for the city.
Within two weeks in the interim city manager’s assignment, Thornton learned what Hart knew, which was that the council troika of Kerr, Woodard and Wright had taken the pulse of much of the city staff, in particular those in key positions with regard to planning, land use, zoning and code enforcement, to determine who would and who would not be on board with their aggressive marijuana-related business establishment agenda. Before Thornton was in place, the three council members, without taking any votes in closed or open session, had been pressuring Hart to ease Senior Management Analyst Mike Borja, Conservation Specialist Belen Cordero and Public Works Superintendent Nan Moore out the door. They likewise pressured Thornton to do the same. Thornton stalled for time, and with the assistance of then-City Attorney Todd Litfin, informed the council that a precipitous firing of key staff members could not be effectuated without first formulating justification for doing so that had a sound basis. The council majority, assuming that Thornton was assembling that basis, awaited the action from Thornton, which never came. Instead, Thornton began preparing to resign from the interim city manager’s position and go back to his post as city engineer/public works director without carrying out the firings he was being told to undertake. Before resigning as city manager in early July 2015 though, Thornton used the opportunity he had to document, record and convey in a series of memos and emails to Litfin and others what the controlling element of the city’s political leadership was up to. In one memo to Litfin, Thornton referred to Kerr, Woodard and Wright as “three rogue council members” who were misusing their authority to meddle “constantly with the day-to-day operations of the city.” Thornton outlined his refusal to fire city officials whose performance was lacking in no appreciable regard. He said he feared that carrying out the council majority’s orders to make the firings would result in a “multimillion dollar lawsuit against the city for wrongful termination.”
Virtually simultaneous with Thornton’s resignation as interim city manager, the council voted to eliminate Borja and Moore’s positions, justifying that move as a cost cutting measure.
At that point, the council turned to City Clerk Cindy Herrera to step into the position of manager, replacing Thornton. Herrera had a cordial familiarity with Kerr’s wife, Misty, that bordered on a friendship, had been hired by the city in 1987 as an executive secretary, was promoted to assistant city clerk in 1994 and had been city clerk since 1999. Kerr, Woodard and Wright offered her the top city job, nearly doubling her city clerk’s salary from $79,121.86 to $149,117.80 and increasing her total annual compensation including benefits and add-ons from $127,729.18 to $201,511.29, calculating that they might thus buy her loyalty and allegiance to their agenda.
Indeed, for a time at least, Herrera went along with the trio as best she could, working at putting the final touches on the plan to permit medical marijuana cultivation facilities to operate in the city’s industrial park. In November 2015, the ordinance putting a protocol for doing just that was passed by the council by a 4-to-1 margin, with Kerr, Woodard, Wright and Glasper in favor and Councilman Ed Camargo, who never favored allowing commercial marijuana-related business of any type to set up operation in the city, dissenting. Litfin, unwilling to be the city attorney of record when that ordinance was passed and put into force, resigned. He was replaced by Julia Sylva, who gamely sought to facilitate the city’s foray into the largely uncharted territory of making legitimized marijuana production a key element of a community’s economic foundation. Sylva burned out rapidly, leaving in April 2016 as a prodigious number of applicants flooded into City Hall, resulting in the city granting permits to no fewer than 25 cannabis growing operations in five months. Sylva was replaced as city attorney by Curtis Wright, of the law firm Silver & Wright LLP. Curiously, however, Sylva continued in some capacity with the city which to this day remains unclear. She was paid for legal work for more than a year after her departure. The precise nature of that legal work was never documented in any way that was publicly accessible. Some city employees speculated that Sylva had learned of some activity that Kerr, Woodard and Wright had involved themselves in whereby they had some order of a financial stake, and so the trio had arranged the payments to her to keep her quiet. With Curtis Wright, who was no blood relation to Jermaine Wright, in place, the council majority doubled down, effectively escalating the ante and transitioning Adelanto from a jurisdiction allowing cannabis-related businesses limited only to agricultural operations to one that embraced all level of marijuana-based commercial enterprises, including medical marijuana dispensaries and the coming advent of recreational marijuana emporiums. There were yet some city employees at various levels and stages resisting the push, based on what they considered to be corner-cutting or suspensions of regulations and violations of existing ordinances, laws and zoning regulations. Those employees, if they openly resisted, soon found themselves on the wrong side of Kerr, Woodard and Wright.
Accompanying this were zoning changes that provided for property that was previously prohibited from hosting operations involving commercial cannabis uses being rezoned to accommodate just such activity. As the result of those changes, the value of the property escalated overnight, anywhere from three times to seven times its previous value. There were widespread indications that inside information about which properties within the city would be accorded those zone changes was being provided to land speculators. Evidence existed, in fact, that on at least one occasion and perhaps several others, Woodard, a real estate broker, had profited by receiving a commission on a real estate transaction on a property that was sold shortly in advance of the zoning on the property being altered to allow cannabis-related activity thereon.
Into this mix, Mayor Kerr, with the support of Woodard and Wright, invited his 2014 campaign manager, one-time planning commissioner Jessie Flores, to serve as the city’s contract economic development director. Flores was given a contract that paid him a relatively modest $3,000 per month to serve in the capacity of economic development consultant, in which capacity he was to seek to interest businesses of all stripe to set up operations within the city. Under the arrangement, Flores was not an actual city employee, and his contract allowed him to simultaneously go to work for those businesses he was seeking to attract to Adelanto. Thus, Flores was in a position to act as an omnidirectional conduit of information between city officials and potential businesses. Moreover, his ability to accept money from those businesses and his simultaneous closeness to Kerr and a lesser extent Woodard led to questions as to whether he was a conduit of more than just information between those businesses and the city’s elected officials. These suspicions intensified when Flores, who had no actual authority as a city consultant, began to pressure and then order city officials to stand down in their enforcement of regulations pertaining to cannabis-related businesses or to waive fees that such applicants for business licensing and permits would normally be required to pay.
At the same time, Kerr, Woodard and Wright were similarly seeking to compromise city staff’s regulatory and enforcement functions. In one notable display in December 2016, during a city staff meeting at which Mayor Kerr and Councilman Glasper were present along with Herrera, Flores and the Adelanto’s contract City Engineer Wilson So, Assistant City Engineer Aaron Mower, Senior Planner Mark De Manincor and Conservation Specialist Belen Cordero, Kerr insisted that a multitude of projects, virtually all of them cannabis-related, be fast tracked and the development fees, infrastructure fees and permit fees for them be waived. Kerr suggested that any loss of immediate revenue the city might sustain as a result be offset by the city applying for grants. When staff sought to explain to the mayor that this was not realistic or in keeping with rudimentary planning standards and would entail some $40,000 in expense in making those applications with no guarantee of success, Kerr became irate and profane, threw his own cell phone across the room, thundering that those present needed to change their attitudes, or else. He then stormed out of the meeting. Two days later, De Manincor, Cordero, Mower and So were axed in a 4-to-1 vote of the city council, effective January 1, 2017. Also fired were a planning assistant, finance consultant and information technology division employee.
For Herrera, who had been seeking to accommodate her political masters while simultaneously attempting to maintain at least the rudimentary standards of municipal planning and land use policy practices, the gutting of that element of the city staff instrumental in processing the applications put her in an untenable position. Kerr, Woodard and Wright did not see it that way, as the loss of those staff members was not a hindrance to what they were seeking to do but rather of assistance, since the idea was to have the city’s regulatory division stand down anyway.
With the council majority already feeling that she was not moving rapidly enough to achieve their goals, and Kerr temporarily laid up as the result of a mishap on his motorcycle, in January 2017 Herrera gambled and forced the moment to a crisis by suspending Flores’ contract, pending an investigation into the charges being leveled at him by a citizens group maintaining there were irregularities in his arrangement with the city.
Within two weeks, Kerr was more or less recovered from the injuries he had sustained in his motorcycle accident and only day after his return, Herrera was out as city manager, though she was allowed to remain as city clerk. Kerr and his colleagues brought in Mike Milhiser, who was in retirement after a 28-year career as city manager in Montclair, Ontario and Upland, to take over the reins of the city.
In August 2017, the city council elevated Gabriel Elliott, who at that point was the city’s director of development, to serve as city manager. Elliott’s expertise with land use protocol would allow him to expedite the growing backlog of cannabis-related business applications, the council majority believed. Elliott, however, like Herrera, Thornton and Hart before him, proved too methodical in the application of general municipal development protocols and adherent to existing standards to please Kerr, Woodard and Wright. They were gravitating toward a resolution to be rid of him as well when on November 8, 2017, City Hall and all of Adelanto was rocked with the FBI’s arrest of Councilman Jermaine Wright. That arrest was based on an arrest warrant prepared by the U.S. Attorney’s Office the previous day in which it was alleged that Wright had taken a $10,000 bribe from an undercover FBI agent who had made an application with the city to establish a marijuana distribution company. It was alleged Wright had agreed to accept the bribe in return for shielding what was represented as the agent’s company from city regulations and code enforcement efforts and that Wright had also solicited another undercover FBI agent to take part in an arson plot to destroy Wright’s restaurant so he could collect on a fire insurance policy he had on his business.
This interrupted plans to sack Elliott and bought him something of a reprieve. Nevertheless, in the aftermath of what befell Wright, both Kerr and Woodard remained intent on proceeding with approving all of the cannabis-related business proposals pending at City Hall and facilitating the operations of those already approved. Glasper, however, had lost his nerve with Wright’s arrest and was not willing to stand with Kerr and Woodard, who no longer had the third crucial vote they needed to continue with their agenda. By December, Kerr, beside himself with rage toward Elliott for thwarting his plans, formulated a plan to remove him by prevailing upon two female employees and an intern to lodge sexual harassment complaints against the city manager.
This was used as a pretext to suspend Elliott, and Milhiser was brought in once more to serve in the interim city manager capacity.
In May, the FBI descended upon Adelanto again, raiding both City Hall and Kerr’s home. No arrests were made, however, and on June 6, during a special election corresponding with the California Gubernatorial Primary, Adelanto conducted a special election to replace Wright on the city council whose removal from that panel had been necessitated early this year as a result of his having missed attending city council meetings for more than 60 days as a consequence of his being in federal custody following his arrest. Joy Jeannette, who was backed by Kerr, Woodard and bankrolled by elements of the cannabis industry which allowed others to run a well-financed campaign on her behalf utilizing newspaper and radio ads, handbills, mailers and billboards, prevailed in the race. Upon her being sworn into office, Elliott was fired, Flores was installed as city manager, Herrera was terminated from her position as city clerk and those remaining elements of city staff who were proving obstructionist to the aggressive cannabis-industry facilitation game plan favored by Kerr, Woodard and Jeannette were ordered to end their opposition and stand down, or were terminated. Any city employees known to have cooperated with the FBI in its investigation were fired.
In November, both Kerr and Woodard were obliged to stand for reelection, the four-year term to which they were elected in 2014 at that point drawing to a close. Glasper, who is in the early stages of dementia, was prevailed upon by his family to not run. Kerr was bested in the mayoral race by Gabriel Reyes. Woodard, likewise, was turned out of office. He and Glasper were supplanted by Gerardo Hernandez and Stevevonna Evans.
The departures of Wright, Woodard and Kerr have come too late to stave off no fewer than 17 current or contemplated lawsuits filed by various city employees. Victorville-based attorney James Alderson at present is representing at least five former Adelanto employees in wrongful termination suits. Among those are Nan Moore, who had been with the city for 18 years when she was given the axe as public works superintendent in July 2015; Mike Borja, the city’s senior management analyst who had been with the city for ten years when he was keelhauled at the same time; and conservation specialist/administrator Belen Cordero, who had been with the city for 17 years when she was fired in the December 14, 2016 massacre. Another early victim of the purge of employees was public works maintenance worker Jose Figueroa, who also sued. One-time senior planner Mark de Manincor, another victim of the December 14 sackings, has likewise moved toward initiating legal action.
Adelanto Community Safety Manager and Chief Code Enforcement Officer Steve Peltier along with four city code enforcement officers, Roman Edward De La Torre, Apolonio Gutierrez, Amber Tisdale, and Gregory Stephen Watkins have lodged written complaints with the city, alleging Kerr and Flores acted to shield certain cannabis-related businesses from monitoring and enforcement.
Two of the four former employees/interns caught up in dueling sexual harassment charges lodged against Kerr and Elliott in December, Adrianna Ortiz, a contract employee, and Rachel Suraci, Elliott’s one-time secretary, are suing the city.
In the final stages of the Kerr administration, the city’s three information technology division employees, Ben Pina, Ibriham Abudluld and Adam Watkins were cut when Kerr and Woodard learned that the three had cooperated with the FBI and were turning over digital information, consisting primarily of videos of city council meetings, to federal agents. They are progressing toward suing the city as well.
A common theme in the lawsuits and claims filed so far is that the former employees maintain they were whistleblowers and that they endured harassment, hostile work environments, retaliation, and wrongful terminations.
The city earlier managed to have the lawsuits filed by Borja, Moore and Cordero dismissed on what the city maintained were free speech grounds. The trio’s attorney, James Alderson, appealed those dismissals and prevailed with each one. Now, with Borja, Moore and Cordero winning the appeals portion of their cases, which included three findings by the appeals court that there is a likelihood that the plaintiffs will prevail in their suits, current city officials have an object demonstration of how the several ongoing wrongful termination cases against the city will proceed. The court has already found in preliminary rulings that individual members of the council acting without the authority of an official vote of the entire body had no direct authority over staff and what transpired was a violation of the Adelanto City Charter and Brown Act.
Both Elliott and Herrera have retained former Adelanto Mayor Tristan Pelayes, a principal in the Riverside-based law firm of Wagner & Pelayes, to represent them. Elliott has sued the city, alleging Kerr actively prevented code enforcement officers from enforcing regulations on a number of marijuana businesses in the city and that Kerr accepted a $200,000 bribe for the sale of the city’s public works building, which contained the city’s emergency operations center, to an entrepreneur who is intent on converting the property to a marijuana cultivation facility. In that claim, he acknowledged having provided the FBI with information about graft in Adelanto. Pelayes has lodged a claim against the city on behalf of Herrera, who is also known to have cooperated with the FBI.
While the voters in Adelanto have now removed Kerr and Woodard from office and the action by the FBI and U.S. Attorney’s Office resulted in Wright no longer serving in the capacity of city council member, the residents and taxpayers in Adelanto collectively, under civil law, may yet be deemed liable for what various current and former city employees were subjected to by Wright, Woodard and Kerr. The matter is complicated by the consideration that several of the plaintiffs were terminated while one of the potential plaintiffs – Herrera, who has yet to lodge her own suit – was city manager and at the behest of Kerr, Woodard and Wright carried out action over which the city is being sued.
With Kerr, Woodard and Wright no longer in their positions of authority, three of the major obstacles to a potential cure to much of the problem appears to be removed. That is, the reinstatement of the plaintiffs to their former positions now appears possible, if indeed they are amenable to returning to work in Adelanto. Such a potential settlement would most likely contain with it a provision for the plaintiffs to receive back pay and that their lawyers be paid.
If those employees agree drop their suits in exchange for being rehired, whatever back pay they are due and paying their legal fees, the city may get out from underneath the damage Kerr, Woodard and Wright inflicted on the cheap, for as little as $3 million to $4 million. If not, Adelanto’s taxpayers may very well find themselves with an interminable $25 million marijuana hangover.

Volunteers are needed for San Bernardino County’s  2019 Point-in-Time Homeless Count.
The Point-in-Time Homeless Count is a one-day street-based and service-based count and what employees in the county’s Department of Behavioral Health refer to as a “subpopulation survey” of sheltered and unsheltered individuals to identify how many people in San Bernardino County are homeless and their so-called “subpopulation characteristics” on a given day.
The 2019 census is scheduled to take place on Thursday, January 24, 2019 between the hours of 6 a.m. and 10:00 a.m.
The Point-in-Time Homeless Count is intended to extend to homeless individuals and families in San Bernardino County and requires the involvement of key community persons and volunteers from each city and all unincorporated areas to help organize and implement the homeless count in their communities. Those identified as key persons and volunteers include representatives of local government, social service providers, law enforcement, municipal agencies, educational institutions, faith-based organizations, local businesses, civic groups, neighborhood associations, nonprofit agencies and current and formerly homeless individuals.
The Point-In-Time-Count is sponsored by the San Bernardino County Homeless Partnership in collaboration with the Office of Homeless Services and in consultation with the Institute for Urban Initiatives.
For the first time, volunteers this year will be conducting the entire count of the county’s unsheltered population by using a smart phone/device application designed specifically for the San Bernardino County Point-in-Time Homeless Count. Training classes on how to use the web-based application for the next San Bernardino County Point-in-Time Count and Survey will be posted on the San Bernardino Homeless Partnership webpage:  www.sbcounty.gov/dbh/sbchp on or before January 7, 2019.
Volunteers can complete the registration form to be a volunteer for the 2019 Point-in-Time Count by contacting Michele Bletcher at (909) 386-8231 or at mkbletcher@dbh.sbcounty.gov.

Oak Hills High School’s 6-foot-6, 326-pound tackle Jason Rodriguez has been named the state’s premier high school level football player in his position.
USA Today placed Rodriguez on the 2018 American Family Insurance All-USA California Football Team. Rodriguez, a senior, was selected for inclusion on the First Team offensive line unit. Rodriguez qualified as the biggest of those linemen, who consist of a center, two guards and one other tackle who attend St. John Bosco in Bellflower, Mater Dei in Santa Ana, San Juan Hills in San Juan Capistrano and Narbonne in Harbor City.
Rodriquez’s mass and power, as well as his rare agility, speed and quickness for a player of his size were key factors in the Bulldogs’ 10-2 record and their advancement in the CIF championship playoffs to the second round where they were ultimately stopped by Camarillo, 44-20 in November. The Bulldogs’ backfield scampered for over 3,000 yards on the ground this just-concluded season. On scores of occasions, running backs Martinique Finn and Isaiah Gray, both of whom rushed for over 1,000 yards this year, were able to break into a wide swathe of daylight and penetrate well into the defensive secondary after Rodriguez obliterated the unfortunate down defensive lineman playing opposite him and then pressed forward to neutralize the second line of defense by lighting up a linebacker.
The season was barely underway when Rodriguez was named as an XXL Under Armour All-America player. A last opportunity to see him in action as a prep football standout will come on January 3, when he will be in Orlando, Florida along with 99 others of those deemed the 100 best high school football players in the county at the Under Armour All-America Game, the USA’s high school football all star game. It will be broadcast live on ESPN2 at 3 pm that day.
Last week, Rodriguez signed up to attend the University of Southern California and play as an offensive lineman with the Trojans.

Jealousy and rage drove a Marine lieutenant stationed at the Twentynine Palms Marine Corps Base to kill a man more than two decades his senior he believed was horning in on a woman variously described as the lieutenant’s wife and/or girlfriend, according to police investigators. It now appears that the woman who inspired the military man’s murderous fit of passion has now betrayed him to authorities, delineating in such exacting detail what led up to the murder, the murder itself and its aftermath that their relationship for which he was willing to go to such extreme lengths is now obliterated and he has no hope of avoiding a decades-long prison sentence.
Lieutenant Curtis Krueger’s bludgeoning of Henry Stange resulted in an arrest last summer that dovetailed with revelations about drug dealing activity at the Marine Corps installation, creating the widespread impression that there was some connection between the dual circumstances, both of which represented an unwelcome spate of publicity for the Navy, the Marine Corps and the Twentynine Palms Marine Corps Base in particular. With the revelations of specifics about the Stange murder investigation, however, it now appears that the activity of a ring of traffickers functioning out of the Marine Corps Communication-Electronics School located on the base and the murder were unrelated coincidences, thought there is something to indicate that the suspected drug dealing activity may have come to light as a consequence of the investigation of Krueger.
On June 2, 2018, the partially decomposed remains of an adult male were found in a shallow grave in Joshua Tree National Park in San Bernardino County, near Big Horn Pass Road and Park Boulevard, about six miles south of Twentynine Palms, not too distant from the dividing line with Riverside County. In relatively short order the remains were identified as those of 54-year-old Henry Allen Stange, who had lived in the 24000 block of New Clay Street, near Kalmia Street in Murrietta. He had gone missing in late May.
Stange was a very active ham radio operator who broadcast at 147.435MHz using the call signs WA6RXZ and KG6EBF. He made a last transmission at 8 a.m. on May 24 and was never heard from again.
Stange had various and wide-ranging contacts with other radio operators. Like Stange, 1st. Lt. Curtis Krueger, a communications officer with Combat Logistics Battalion 7 at the Twentynine Palms Marine Corps Base, had an interest in radioing. Krueger enlisted in the Marines in April 2005, when he was yet 17, becoming a private first class upon graduating from boot camp. He steadily moved up through the non-commissioned ranks, studied computer science programming at San Diego State University and compiled a 3.4 grade point average there while stationed at Camp Pendleton and then qualified to attend officer candidate school. In 2015, he graduated from the Marines’ officer training institution, earning in so doing his lieutenant’s bars. In June 2017 he was stationed at the Twentynine Palms base, where he was a leader of a communications team.
Krueger, now 31, made the acquaintance of Ashlie Stapp, now 27, a coed at Copper Mountain Community College in Joshua Tree. By early this year, Krueger and Stapp were cohabiting in a trailer park in Twentynine Palms, where nearby residents believed they were a married couple.
Stange’s interest in radios and expertise in the fabrication of custom ham radio antennas along with so-called repeaters that propagate and repropagate radio signals, as well as his activity in the ham radio community provided the basis of his interaction with Krueger, and by extension, with Stapp. There are photos and videos of Stange, Krueger and Stapp together at barbecue picnics and potlucks involving radio enthusiasts, both professional and amateur. Stange, who was divorced with two grown children, was something of a modern renaissance man. In addition to being an accomplished musician, he was actively involved in falconry, boating and sailing and freshwater sportsfishing. Stapp apparently became attracted to the older man. Krueger became convinced Stapp and Stange had initiated a physical relationship.
At some point in the summer, the suspicions of investigators with the Murrietta Police Department had settled on Krueger and Stange. They obtained warrants that allowed them to place taps on the phones and communication devices used by the pair and coordinated their investigation with the Naval Criminal Investigative Service and the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department. By August 28, they had what they believed was probable cause to arrest both Krueger and Stapp for involvement in Stange’s murder. On August 29 Krueger and Stapp were arrested and transported to Riverside County, where both were booked at the Cois Byrd Detention Center in French Valley for murder and conspiracy. Stapp was subsequently transferred to the Riverside County Jail in Indio and Krueger to the Southwest Detention Center in Murrietta, where both were held in lieu of $1 million bail.
Krueger refused to waive his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination and made no statements to the detectives who sought to interrogate him. Stapp, however, elected to speak to the investigators and provided them with a host of statements implicating Krueger in the bludgeoning murder of Stange. Three days later, however, after an extensive review, the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office had concluded that Stapp’s statements were yet uncorroborated and that there was insufficient evidence against both Krueger and Stapp to proceed with a prosecution of either of them. They were released but not before investigators had used search warrants to seize the computers at the Marine Corps Base that Krueger had access to, including his cell phone; Stapp’s cell phone and computer; Krueger’s military-issued E-Tool, a communications device; a military-issued foldable shovel often used for digging combat fighting holes and filling sandbags, along with other items from Krueger’s car and residence.
Over the next three months, investigators conducted extensive interviews with people in their circle, including ham radio operators with whom both Krueger and Stange associated, as well as residents of the mobile home park where Krueger and Stapp were living.
Krueger was re-arrested on December 7, and charged with homicide, Penal Code Section 187 based on an affidavit for the arrest warrant prepared in November, granted on December 1 and filed with Riverside County Superior Court on December 6. He is in custody at the Cois M. Byrd Detention Center in French Valley, held in lieu of $1 million bail. He pleaded not guilty to the charge on December 19.
According to Murietta Police Department investigators, in a phone call on August 23, 2018, Krueger and Stapp spoke about Stange’s killing, which has been established as occurring on May 24. That day, Krueger made a 911 call to ask the sheriff’s department carry out a welfare check on Stapp, whom he characterized as mentally unstable. Cell tower connections with Krueger and Stapp’s phones show that both had driven to Stange’s home in Murrieta that day.
It was while there, in Stange’s garage, that Krueger beat Stange severely about the head, which led to his death, though he did not die immediately, as according to Stapp, when they were lifting Stange into the bed of Krueger’s truck, he was get breathing, gasping for air.
“Henry was killed in his garage by blunt force trauma to the head,” according to the arrest warrant affidavit. “Henry’s body was dragged from his garage and placed in a vehicle, which was parked in the driveway.”
Cell tower connections with their phones indicate Krueger and Stapp then drove to Diamond Valley Lake south of Hemet, apparently seeking a place to dispose of the body there before returning to Stange’s home and then going to Twentynine Palms. Ultimately Stange was left in a shallow grave that both of them dug in Joshua Tree.
Accessible records give no indication of Stapp having been rearrested, though the clear implication of the affidavit is that she is an accessory to murder. Her whereabouts are unknown.

Case No. PROPS1801134
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of JASON EDWARD MIDDLETON
A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by Ellen W. Middleton in the Superior Court of California, County of SAN BERNARDINO.
THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that Ellen W. Middleton be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.
THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.
A HEARING on the petition will be held on January 23, 2019 at 8:30AM in Dept. No. S36 located at 247 W. Third St., San Bernardino, CA 92415.
IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.
IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.
YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

Sentinel 12-21-18

By Mark Gutglueck
After a series of missteps and two of its four members having balked earlier that day at doing so, the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday replaced their recently departed colleague James Ramos with former Yucca Valley Town Councilwoman Dawn Rowe.
The board’s action cements the Republican vice-lock on county government, as Rowe, a registered Republican, moves into the void that was created when Ramos, a Democrat, departed the board on December 3, simultaneous with his taking the oath of office as Assemblyman on December 3. Ramos was originally elected as Third District supervisor, representing Barstow, Big Bear, Twentynine Palms, Yucca Valley, Yucaipa, Redlands, Highland, Loma Linda, Grand Terrace, the eastern portion of the City of San Bernardino, a sliver of Colton and 24 disparate unincorporated county areas, in 2012 and reelected in 2016. Last month, in the general election held in conjunction with California’s gubernatorial race, Ramos outdistanced his Republican rival, San Bernardino City Councilman Henry Nickel, for the 40th District Assembly position. Rowe was chosen to fill out the two years remaining on the supervisor’s term to which he was reelected two years ago.
Prior to his departure to Sacramento, Ramos made clear that his choice to succeed him was Chris Carrillo, a fellow Democrat who had served as his deputy chief of staff from 2012 to 2014 and who returned to that position earlier this year as preparation for what both men hoped would be a final grooming for Carrillo before his move into the Third District post. And though county elected offices are by California law considered to be nonpartisan, in fact in San Bernardino County, party affiliation has been for decades a major deciding factor in who holds those positions. Beginning in the 1960s, San Bernardino County has been a Republican stronghold. From 1966 until 2009, Republicans held a plurality in terms of the numbers of registered voters in the county. In 2009, the number of registered Democrats eclipsed the number of registered Republicans throughout San Bernardino County. Nevertheless, Republicans continued to consistently outperform Democrats at the polls in the county, with the GOP equaling or surpassing the Democrats in terms of the numbers of office holders in the state legislature and in Congress. This year, however, with Ramos’s victory over Nickel, a Democrat displaced the Republican 40th District Assemblyman, Marc Steinorth, who left the Assembly after serving just two terms to make what turned out to be an unsuccessful run for Second District San Bernardino County Supervisor in June. Thus, of the nine Assembly members representing San Bernardino County at present, five are Republicans and four are Democrats, an uncomfortable margin for the GOP. Republicans yet hold four of the six California State Senate offices representing San Bernardino County. However, in the U.S. House of Representatives, four of the county’s five Congressional representatives will be Democrats when the 116th Congress convenes on January 3, 2019. In California Congressional District 39, which includes northeastern Orange County, southeastern Los Angeles County and southwestern San Bernardino County, Republican Ed Royce who had long been the U.S. Representative there, opted to retire. In an extremely close race to replace him, the Democratic standard bearer, Gil Cisneros, edged out the Republican candidate, Young Kim. Cisneros was a Republican until 2008, but left the party because he felt it had become “too ideological.” His current standing as a Democrat leaves San Bernardino County with but a single Republican representative in Congress, Paul Cook.
Despite the lapsing of Republican control over federal offices in San Bernardino County, the Party of Lincoln yet remains in ascendancy in terms of local political offices. In seventeen of the county’s 24 municipalities, Republicans outnumber Democrats on city and town councils. On the board of supervisors, prior to Ramos’s departure, three of that panel’s five members – First District Supervisor and Chairman of the Board of Supervisors Robert Lovingood, Second District Supervisor Janice Rutherford and Fourth District Supervisor Curt Hagman – are Republicans. Like Ramos, Fifth District Supervisor Josie Gonzales is a Democrat.
The county charter empowers the board of supervisors to make an appointment to fill any vacancy that comes about on the board of supervisors, requiring that the individual chosen be a resident of the district to be represented and that the appointment be made within 30 days of the vacancy. The county charter has no provision for the vacancy to be filled through a special election. If the appointment is not made within the 30-day deadline, the power of appointment rests with the governor.
On December 3, James Ramos was sworn into office in Sacramento. By previous arrangement, his resignation as supervisor was to be effectuated simultaneous with his assumption of the assembly position. Thus, the board of supervisors had until January 2 to make an appointment or by default surrender the appointment to the discretion of outgoing California Governor Jerry Brown or incoming Governor Gavin Newsom, who is to be inaugurated on January 7. Both Brown and Newsom are Democrats.
Though the November 6 election was not certified by the San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters until early this month, by the time all of the precincts had reported early November 7 and the only outstanding votes to be counted were from late-arriving mail-in and provisional ballots, Ramos’s lead over Nickel was substantial enough that there was no doubt as to the eventual outcome. Consequently, the members of the board began casting about to create a process by which to choose Ramos’s successor. Almost immediately it became apparent to Ramos that his three Republican colleagues on the board were not likely to honor his preference to be succeeded by Carrillo, but were leaning heavily toward filling the post with a member of their own party. This led to something of a falling out between Ramos and Lovingood, the board chairman at that point. According to individuals in a position to know, harsh and loud words were exchanged between the two men on the fifth floor of the county’s administrative building at 325 North Arrowhead Avenue in Downtown San Bernardino. Described as a brief shouting match, the contretemps was an awkward and unfortunate end to what had been for some six years a cordial and cooperative relationship that began when both were first elected to the board of supervisors in 2012.
The board invited District Three residents to apply for the post, resulting in 48 coming forward. Based upon the responses 43 of those made to a questionnaire accompanying the applications along with their curricula vitae and/or resumes, each of the board members voted behind closed doors by means of each casting votes to demark their ten top choices. Those candidates receiving two or more votes passed muster. In this way the field was reduced to 13: former San Bernardino County Third District Supervisor Dennis L. Hansberger, San Bernardino County Republican Central Committee Chairwoman Janice Leja, Loma Linda City Councilman Ronald Dailey, Former San Bernardino County Fifth District Chief of Staff and Inland Empire Taxpayers Association Founder Chris Mann, San Bernardino Mayor Carey Davis, former Twentynine Palms Mayor Jim Bagley, Loma Linda Mayor Rhodes Rigsby, two-time Congressional candidate Sean Flynn, Barstow Mayor Julie Hackbarth-McIntyre; current Big Bear Councilman/former Chino Councilman William Jahn; current field representative to Republican Congressman Paul Cook/former Yucca Valley Councilwoman Dawn Rowe, former San Bernardino City Councilman Tobin Brinker, former Republican Assemblyman/State Senator Bill Emmerson.
Conspicuous by his absence from the list was Carrillo. An attorney, Ramos’s former and then-current deputy chief of staff who was up-to-date with regard to the issues facing the Third District, a long-time field representative for Senator Dianne Feinstein and an elected official in his own right as a board member of the East Valley Water District, Carrillo was flawed by the consideration that he was a Democrat. The board’s plan was to hold a public forum during which each of the candidates would be allowed to make a short presentation and field questions from the board. Having received only one vote, Carrillo was not provided with an opportunity to participate. Five of the 48 expressing interest in the position had failed to complete all aspects of the application and were therefore rejected outright; thus, a total of 30, including Carrillo, were counted out of consideration without an interview. Twelve of those were Democrats. Of the thirteen who made it to the second round of the selection process, just one, Daily, was a Democrat. Ten were currently registered Republicans. Brinker and Emmerson were unaffiliated with any political party. In the case of Emmerson, who had been a Republican for nearly the entirety of adult life and a Republican during his terms in office as an assemblyman and state senator, he reregistered with no party preference because since leaving the legislature five years ago he had reinvented himself as a lobbyist and in dealing with legislators who are predominantly Democrats had found it to be in his professional interest to have severed his Republican ties.
The thirteen semi-finalists were invited to a forum before the board of supervisors in a specially-called session on Tuesday December 11. In the public comment session before the supervisors had their interaction with the candidates, Ruth Musser-Lopez, a member of the San Bernardino County Democratic Central Committee and an unsuccessful candidate for State Senate in the 16th District in November asserted that there were flaws in the way in which the selection process was being conducted. Most pointedly, she charged that in reducing the field of 48 to 13 the board had polled themselves and voted in secret, which she alleged was a violation of the Ralph M. Brown Act, which prohibits elected officials from discussing or voting upon official public matters in anything other than than a public forum unless the issues dealt with are expressly related to public employee hiring, discipline or termination; pending or ongoing litigation; or negotiations for real estate transactions or employee contract negotiations. The board initially disregarded Musser-Lopez, carrying out over a nearly five hour session that morning and into the afternoon interviews and exchanges with the 13 candidates, thereafter eliminating seven of the candidates and conducting public polling amongst themselves in which Lovingood endorsed Sean Flynn, William Jahn, Janice Leja, Rhodes Rigsby and Dawn Rowe; Rutherford voted for William Emmerson, Flynn, Jahn, Rigsby, and Rowe; Hagman selected Emmerson, Flynn, Chris Mann, Rigsby and Rowe; and Gonzales favored Jim Bagley, Ron Daily, Julie Hackbarth-McIntyre, William Jahn and Rowe. With the threshold being that to advance a candidate needed to log two votes, Emmerson, Flynn, Jahn, Rigsby and Rowe qualified as finalists with Rowe scoring four votes; Rigsby, Flynn and Jahn bagging three votes and Emmerson claiming two in the District Three Supervisor sweepstakes. The board then scheduled another specially-called meeting for December 13, at which it was intimated one of the five would be selected to serve the next two years as Ramos’s replacement.
The evening of December 11, however, Musser-Lopez, reiterated her objections in writing, labeling it a “complaint.” In the letter, sent to the supervisors and the office of county counsel through the clerk of the board, she asserted, “On December 10-11, 2018, you the members of the county board of supervisors in concert and individually violated the Ralph M. Brown Act specifically CA Gov. Code, § 54953.5 when you did cast preliminary votes secretly, without a process agreed upon by the public and without publicly disclosing the votes of the individual supervisors to the public.” She said that “the public was left out of the selection process, some applicants were not invited to address the board and were not allowed equal time, and due to the illegal polling, board members knew which applicants were ‘winning’ prior to their vote.” Musser-Lopez said this led to the board members “knowing in advance which applicants were preferred by the other members” and “wrongfully influencing their vote without public knowledge or intervention,” such that “a majority of the board” had been able to illegally “develop a collective concurrence as to action to be taken” and had furthermore engaged in private communications with one another through the use of secret ballots that were tantamount to a “serial meeting,” which is also outlawed by the Brown Act.
Musser-Lopez demanded that the board of supervisors cure the violation by voiding the December 11 vote and voiding “any other serial votes by members of the board of supervisors on December 10 and 11, 2018 and that to be voted on December 13, 2018 pertaining to the selection of a replacement supervisor for the 3rd District.” She called upon the board of supervisors to “cure and correct” the prohibited acts by providing “an opportunity for all applicants to be invited to give a speech and allowed the same amount of time provided the unlawful slate of 13 candidates that were improperly selected by serial voting and secret ballots on December 10, 2018.”
Somewhere within her three-page letter, Musser-Lopez hit a nerve. When the board convened the morning of December 13, the proceedings lasted a mere 58 seconds and were gaveled to a close by Board Chairman Lovingood, after County Counsel Michelle Blakemore, the county’s top in-house attorney, referenced the Brown Act violation accusations and said, “Our recommendation is that the board take absolutely no action today and that the meeting be adjourned and we will bring an item back on Tuesday for consideration.”
Percolating over the weekend were the issues Musser-Lopez had raised as well as her further public utterances to the effect that the board was limiting its candidates to the white, affluent and Republican country club set, while excluding a large swath of the Third District’s unrepresented masses. Simultaneously, the board majority had not abandoned its determination to ensure that the Republican establishment maintains its primacy within San Bernardino County’s government structure. Chastened by the events of the preceding few days, they resolved to make certain that the selection process would meet all legal requirements and prevent any further challenges that would conceivably remove the Third District supervisor replacement process to the governor’s office.
Further discussion and possible action on the appointment was scheduled as the final item on the agenda for the regularly scheduled meeting this week on Tuesday December 18. After moving through all of the previous items on the agenda, the board took up the reconsideration of the appointment.
In partial deference to Musser-Lopez’s complaint and demands, the board rescinded the action it had taken on December 11, theoretically reopening the field of candidates to include not just the five or 13, but potentially all 43 who returned fully completed applications, all 48 who had taken out applications or anyone of the age of majority living within the Third District who was registered to vote.
Before taking that action, Board Chairman Lovingood offered his version of what he and his colleagues had done and an explanation of what they were purposed to do.
“When the board of supervisors started this process, it took great lengths to ensure an open process by having ads placed in multiple newspapers soliciting to fill the vacancy,” Lovingood said. “We went far and wide to make sure this would be known. At the close of the application period, fifty-two had expressed interest in the position, of which 48 were actually qualified as electors. As a supplement, response to materials for response to questions garnered a reply by 43 of the original applicants. The supervisors chose to interview 13 and established a list of five finalists. Following written and email correspondence received on the 12th and the 13th challenging the process undertaken by the board it is recommended we establish the interview list of 13 and the final list of five be rescinded and the process amended for the selection of the Third District member of the board. The recommended actions will cure and correct any alleged procedural errors and afford the board an opportunity at this meeting to move forward in the discussion process.”
Among those who spoke during public comments was one of the applicants, Treasure Ortiz.
“I’m extremely disappointed in how this was conducted,” said Ortiz. “I super agree with you. You guys outreached to the community for the applicants to apply. But in that, you decided not to put forth a process that was completely transparent, and you knew it. You continued with it. Counsel told you not to set criteria, but you did it anyways. You didn’t tell us what it was. You just called the clerk of the board and told her who you wanted. You ought to rectify it, but you’re breaking, in the midst of breaking the law. You are bound by an act. So to say, ‘Mea culpa. We’re sorry. Now we’re going to wipe this clean” – You need to go above and beyond that. You have a responsibility to the 400,000 people in this district who voted for James Ramos, who voted for an agenda and now want to see that is adhered to. Everybody who applied needs to be publicly shown to the voters. It affects your district. It affects our district. To do anything less is disrespectful. It’s wrong. We come here today to do our civic duty, to be a part of the process, and to be denied that, myself or anybody… We have large shoes to fill. We have to make sure that we stand by what people are asking of us, without a vote. This is the worst case of taking away democracy from people and then shoving it in their face and saying ‘We’re going to make jokes. Give me resumes and I’ll vet through.’ Well that’s exactly what you did. After it hadn’t been asked specifically, ‘How do we fill this vacancy if Ramos were to vacate?’ nobody wanted to talk about that but then days later you appoint a field rep to be a point of contact without any public discussion. We submitted, letters, resumes and answers to questions that you guys asked for but never made available to the public. This is supposed to be open. I ask that you today interview everybody. This should be a long and arduous task. This should take days because this is a big, big decision on behalf of people you don’t represent.”
Several speakers said they were in favor of Carrillo.
Supervisor Curt Hagman said, “I understand we’re pretty much starting over. I’d like to put two or three names in a hat right now, each from the total list and then if you want follow up questions we can. If we don’t, we can make a motion, whatever the case may be.”
Supervisor Janice Rutherford endorsed Hagman’s suggest. “We’ve all done a thorough review of all 43 applications, including people that we’ve interviewed, all of the reading we’ve done and the background work that each of us and our staffs did individually. I would be prepared to offer a handful of names also. Then we could decide to further question if we have questions or move on today.”
Supervisor Gonzales said, “I realize this is the final opportunity to ask some tough questions. If there were an election, candidates would be asked questions about their positions on various issues. They would be asked questions about their voting record. Residents would have time to learn about each candidate’s background and their political affiliations, priorities, goals and all those kinds of things. There would be time for all of that. In the absence of a campaign, I believe I owe it to the residents to ask difficult questions and I would like that opportunity and I have stated this to my colleagues already, so there may be an opportunity for the residents to hear honest answers and have those answers be on the record before we make a selection.”
Gonzales indicated she “wanted to go in a different direction” from what had occurred, that is, having interviews with a subset of the candidates who applied. She would have preferred, she said, “to have interviews with each and every candidate, as you all know. I want you to know I love our government structure and that when the majority of my colleagues voted against me, I honor that. We all have to honor that. I think it’s important. There’s value to adhering to a process. I want to be able today to look at all of the applicants and be able to say ‘This is an open process. I am considering each and every one.’” Gonzales said she recognized the others were intent on moving forward with the nominations of just two or three names each and had resigned herself to that.
Asserting “moving forward today is our responsibility” and that he had like the other members of the board thoroughly considered the merits of the candidates based on their submissions while resisting being lobbied, Lovingood said, “At this time, unless there is some other preference, I am prepared to make a motion.” Pausing briefly, he said, “I make a motion to nominate Dawn Rowe as the replacement for the Third District.” Rutherford seconded the motion. Without a voice vote being audible, Lovingood indicated that the support for Rowe was 2-to-2, which was insufficient to approve Rowe’s appointment.
Lovingood then sought to proceed with Hagman’s call for each of the board members to nominate three candidates each. Gonzales asked that before any vote was taken on those to be nominated that a round of questioning of those nominated take place. The board members at Lovingood’s motion and Hagman’s second then submitted three names each. Lovingood nominated Bill Jahn, Dawn Rowe and Rhodes Rigsby; Supervisor Rutherford nominated Dawn Rowe, Sean Flynn and Bill Emmerson; Supervisor Hagman nominated Bill Jahn, Dawn Rowe and Sean Flynn; and Supervisor Gonzales nominated Bill Jahn, Dawn Rowe and Chris Carrillo. All of those nominated were invited forward to respond to questions. Because Carrillo had not been interviewed last week, he was permitted to introduce himself and give an overview of his experience. For the most part, the questioning of Carrillo, Jahn, Rigsby, and Flynn was polite and extended to the issues of their experience and expertise, covering the same issues they had spoken to in their interview on December 11. Emmerson, a dentist by profession, and Rigsby, a physician, were asked about a recent court ruling that called into question whether the Affordable Care Act will remain in place. Gonzales asked Emmerson a pointed question about his decision in 2013 to resign from the California State Senate and a statement he made to the effect that he had lost his passion for his work and his interest in politics had waned. “What would you say to the constituents of the Third District today, some of which are in your former senate district, to convince them that you have found your passion once again for public service?” Gonzales probed.
“The temperament and the temperature of Sacramento is incredibly partisan,” Emmerson said. “It became very difficult to work in that system, and I lost my passion because of that. This is a different situation that we can all work together in a collaborative manner.”
Gonzales was similarly aggressive in her exchange with Rowe.
“You currently work for Congressman Paul Cook,” Gonzales began. “Congressman Cook is and has been a long time friend of mine and San Bernardino County. He has carried bills for us both at the state level and at the federal level in Congress. Many of the issues we face here at the county have to do with politics imposed on us by state and in this case federal government. There are many congressmen we don’t always see eye-to-eye with and I dare say we don’t always see eye-to-eye with Congressman Cook. If appointed to the Third District supervisorial seat, how would you demonstrate that you will act independent of Congressman Cook? How would you assure the residents of the Third District that you would fight for what’s in their best interest even if it might be contrary to what the federal government has as policy or Congressman Cook’s position? Will there be, in other words, strings attached?”
Rowe said, “No, bluntly. If you know Congressman Cook – I’ve worked for him for ten years – You have to have a backbone to be in the job we have, and I have no problem clearly stating my opinion and thoughts to anyone, to include Congressman Cook.” She cited the example of her differences with Cook, who is a retired Marine lieutenant colonel, with regard to the clash between the Marine Corps and off-road enthusiasts over restrictions on the use of the desert expanse stretching into Johnson Valley, which the Marine Corps uses for training purposes. As an off-road enthusiast herself, Rowe said she stood her ground with Cook in reminding him that as a congressman he is a representative of the people of the 8th Congressional District and not the Marine Corps and that he needed to be sensitive to his constituents’ needs. She said a compromise was worked out with regard to recreational access in a major swath of Johnson Valley as a result.
She further asserted that her conservative Republic leanings would not interfere with her service to her constituents. “I have a party registration but on this non-partisan seat I bring with me certain ideologies but more of an open mind,” she said. “My party and my affiliations are insignificant when it comes to fighting for what is right for this county.”
Rowe told the board that if she were chosen as Ramos’s replacement, “I would be accessible. I think it is important to have accessibility to our constituents, to you as a board, to the staff members, to the county employees and various departments within the county.” She said she would “put my brainpower to the different challenges we face in the county” and that she would use “creativity perseverance and tenacity” to benefit the Third District along with the “ability to communicate effectively with an open mind.”
She said she is able to sugarcoat the bitter pill of government.
“One of the things I have learned in my time in working with the public is to have empathy for them,” she said. “It is very difficult sometimes to tell a person, ‘No.’ But if you can communicate it effectively and with empathy it’s better received and people understand it.”
Rowe made a favorable impression with Gonzales, who told her “You’ve done an extraordinary job of coming out of the woodwork. You were one of the surprises I was looking for. And I think it commends the years of dedication that you’ve invested.”
Rowe was the last of the six candidates interviewed on Tuesday. Immediately after her exchange with the board, without entering into any discussion with regard to the relative merits of the applicants, Lovingood made a motion to appoint her to the Third District supervisors post. Again, Rutherford seconded the motion. When Hagman immediately voted in favor of the motion, the outcome was obvious and Gonzales voted to make Rowe’s appointment unanimous.
A Southern California native, Rowe was married to a Marine captain, Alan Rowe, with whom she had a son and a daughter. They had lived at various Marine and Naval installations and established a residence in Yucca Valley when her husband had been stationed at the Twentynine Palms Marine Base. On September 3, 2004, her husband was on his second deployment back to Iraq when he was killed in action while securing a bridge in Anbar province. She decided to remain in Yucca Valley and raise her children there. It was in seeking to make a way for herself and her children, she said, that she ventured into politics.
“I got involved in subdividing property and became frustrated with the process,” she said. “I went to who was then my mayor, Chad Mayes, and didn’t know anything about politics or anything else and he appointed me to the planning commission and said, ‘If you want to make a difference, this is how you do it.’ And then I was defeated with some of my projects at the council level and decided if I wanted to really make a difference I needed to run to implement those changes, specifically in land use. Then, at some point along the way I met Paul Cook and went to work for him as a field rep.”
Rowe is a creature of what many refer to as the “Yucca Valley Theocracy.” The two most influential political entities in the Town of Yucca Valley are the 3,500-member Joshua Springs Calvary Chapel with its senior pastor, Jarel Hagerman, and the smaller Grace Community Church with its pastor, Roger Mayes. Both Hagerman and Mayes have tremendous influence over their respective congregations, at the very least swaying elections if not outright controlling the political tempo of the town. Jarel Hagerman’s son, Isaac, was elected to the town council, rising to the position of mayor pro tem, serving along with Rowe and Chad Mayes. Roger Mayes is Chad Mayes’ father. Roger Mayes is himself an elected official, serving on the Hi Desert Water District. Together Jarel Hagerman and Roger Mayes, who share similar conservative Republican political ideologies, are credited with being able to dependably deliver upwards of 2,500 votes to the candidates they endorse in the town’s municipal elections. Yucca Valley has roughly 11,400 registered voters. Typically, 5,500 to 6,000 voters turn out to vote in November elections held in presidential election years in Yucca Valley and 3,800 to 4,200 in gubernatorial election years. Dawn Rowe is a Joshua Springs Calvary Chapel congregant and was supported by both Hagerman and Mayes in her election to the town council.
The Yucca Valley Theocracy has supported Paul Cook, who is neither a parishoner of Joshua Springs Chapel nor Grace Community Church but rather a Catholic who attends Mass, when he is in Yucca Valley, at St. Mary of the Valley. Cook’s political philosophy over the years aligned itself in most particulars with that espoused by Hagerman and Mayes.
That political philosophy has had practical consequences for Yucca Valley.
The town is one of two of San Bernardino County’s municipalities without a sewer system, relying entirely upon septic systems. In 2001, Yucca Valley town officials were notified by the state’s Regional Water Quality Control Board that the lack of a sewage treatment system in the town had resulted in nitrates accumulating in the water table underlying Yucca Valley. Simultaneously, the Hi-Desert Water District, which serves the Yucca Valley community, experienced nitrate traces in district wells. Because of the expense of constructing such a system, local officialdom did not respond with alacrity to the warning. State officials grew increasingly more and more firm in suggesting and then telling Yucca Valley town and Hi-Desert Water District officials that the water contamination issue needed to be addressed, at last issuing a compliance order that the town begin construction on a sewer system such that the first phase of a three-phase wastewater system was to be be completed or significantly on its way to completion by May 19, 2016 or enforcement action would be initiated. This was met by a community-wide outcry against “unfunded mandates” being imposed by liberal bureaucrats in Democratic-dominated Sacramento. The Yucca Valley Theocracy and Cook, while he was yet in the Assembly and later in Congress, were major purveyors of rhetoric being consumed at the local level in Yucca Valley suggesting that the state was engaged in impermissible government overreach and that the water contamination abatement orders were unlawful and unconstitutional meddling by outsiders that would not be enforceable.
In 2012, Yucca Valley voters, yet under the sway of Mayes and Hagerman’s vision of their town as a bastion of right-thinking fundamentalist Christian conservatives holding the line against the encroachment of secular liberalism, rejected Measure U, which if passed would have imposed a one-cent sales tax within Yucca Valley, the lion’s share of the proceeds from which would have, town officials said, gone toward building the sewer system.
It was only when it became clear that the state was determined to use draconian measures to obtain compliance, by either methodically moving to seal off every septic system in use within Yucca Valley, essentially rendering the affected homes inhabitable, or to otherwise utilize an enforcement action done in a lottery fashion in which random property owners who did not discontinue the discharge from their septic systems and seal them off would be selected to receive cease and desist orders with the potential of daily fines of up to $5,000 per day for non-compliance, that local officials got off top dead center and provisions were made to bring the town into accord with state standards.
In 2014, Chad Mayes, Roger Mayes’ son, vied successfully for 42nd District Assemblyman. In Sacramento, young Mayes was given a strong dose of political and practical reality. While the exact nature of his private conversations with his father are unknown, on his trips back to his district from the state capital he was apparently able to convince the Reverend Mayes, a board member with the Hi-Desert Water District, that people in Yucca Valley cannot continue to micturate and defecate in their drinking water supply, that continuing to insist they can do just that is a threat to not only the community’s health but its reputation statewide and that the rural standards of public hygiene that were applied in a remote desert location in the middle of the Twentieth Century will not suffice as that community urbanizes in the Twenty-First Century.
In 2015, Roger Mayes did not oppose an effort to form an assessment district to build the town’s sewer system. By a significant margin, Yucca Valley voters passed the measure, which was conducted by mail ballot voting.
On the May 13, 2015 deadline for the return of the ballots, 5,488 of the 10,326 ballots mailed out had been returned. Of those 5,488 ballots received, 4,942 were deemed valid, with 546 being rejected because the ballots were improperly filled out.
The tallying of the ballots was not based upon the simple number of votes for or against approving the sewer system assessments. Rather, each of the ballots was accorded weight based on the proposed assessment value of the property owned by the voter. Under this measure, 72 percent of those responding, representing $49.1 million in estimated property value, favored the levying of the assessments, while 28 percent, speaking for $18.9 million in property value, voted against the formation of the district.
The community’s relatively late resolve to fund the sewer system project left it somewhat behind the eight ball in terms of whether it would be able to meet the first May 2016 deadline.
The State Water Resources Control Board, examining the reality of the situation, concluded that the Hi-Desert Water District would not be able to complete enough of the project to allow any part of the community to stop septic discharge within the previously imposed time deadline. Recognizing, however, that the Yucca Valley community, by means of the May 2015 vote, had begun the process of designing and building the system, the State Water Resources Control Board dispensed with the May 2016 deadline and extended the deadline for the first phase’s completion until June 30, 2021.
The Yucca Valley sewer system is now moving toward completion.
One aspect of the Third District supervisor selection process demonstrated the degree to which Dawn Rowe was willing to alter her personal guideposts to match the expectations of those who are now her board colleagues.
On December 11, 2018 Lovingood asked her, “If you receive the appointment, would it be your intent to run again or is that something to be decided midstream? Where are you on that thought?”
Rowe responded, “So, when my husband died I stopped planning. I had a great plan that extended out into my retirement years and long term planning for me [now] is about six months. So, right or wrong, it is where God has taken me in my life, and I have no plans necessarily to seek election. But then to be honest with you, I wasn’t seeking election to the town council when I moved to Yucca Valley, either. So, in all fairness, no, it is not part of my long term plan. Could it be possible if the citizens maybe advocate for that if I was doing an effective job as the appointed supervisor? Possibly, but it’s not necessarily a part of my plan.”
A week later, Tuesday December 18, Supervisor Gonzales said, “It came to my attention whether it was gossip, or innuendo or scuttlebutt, that somehow you were being prompted or promoted to submit your application because it was Congressman Cook’s intent to run for Third District supervisor in 2020 and that you would be used as a placeholder. I called Congressman Cook and I spoke to him. I spoke to him very directly about my concern. He assured me that he did not have any intent to throw his hat in the ring for Third District supervisor in the year 2020. I’m saying this for the record. And I told him that although I am termed out in 2020 and if God gives me life and anything happens to the contrary I will come back and call him out.”
To that, Rowe said, “I was asked if I would run again outside this board. In going forward I was asked the same question here, ‘Would I seek election to this seat in 2020?’ My answer, truly from the heart is, ‘I really don’t like to plan long term because it is painful when it doesn’t happen. However, I said, in all candor, and I used Chad Mayes and Paul Cook, I said I would like to run for the seat, but you never know what happens in politics. Who is to say, that for example – and this was a private conversation that was apparently repeated or through gossip or however it came to your knowledge or was repeated differently – but what happens when someone like Congressman Cook or Assemblyman Mayes change course in their careers and they decide they should seek that seat, I would absolutely defer to their experience and what they would bring to the table and I would not run again, in that example. That was an answer I gave to a colleague of mine. I was being truthful at that time. I would not run against them for this position, when we were talking. I felt I was being deferential to their experience coming back to the county level. And that was it. So, Congressman Cook intends to run for Congress again. He is actively pursuing that. There is no deviation in that course, internally, externally or otherwise. That is his intent, and he and I have not had a conversation, nor has anyone on our staff to the contrary. So, I just want to assuage that concern.”
Gonzales sought clarification, asking Rowe, “So, for the record, you are saying you would not run against Congressman Cook or Assembly Member Chad Mayes?”
Rowe sought to deflect the question, saying “Wouldn’t that be spicy? I’m not saying that for the record. I was asked that last week.”
Gonzales pressed her, saying, “I’m asking you that now.”
“I would certainly run against either of them,” Rowe said.
After she was selected by the board, Rowe further reflected her readiness to live up to her new colleagues’ expectations, saying, “I’d just like to thank everyone present, the citizens. I look forward to representing all of you with an open mind and with all of the energy that I have to do an effective job for the Third District. I’d like to thank the chairman and the board for the opportunity to continue this term and I look forward to running in 2020.”

Jason O’Brien has been elevated to the position of president of the Fontana School Board, two years after he was elected to the panel overseeing the 37,000-student Fontana Unified School District and its 29 elementary schools, seven middle schools, seven high schools and an adult school as part of a reformist wave two years ago.
“I am honored to have been elected as the new Fontana Unified School Board president for 2018-2019,” O’Brien said. “As the very first African-American elected to serve in this role, I am indebted to the spirit of the ‘American Dream,’ which I believe is important to the motivation and perseverance of all children.”
O’Brien’s assumption of the board president duties follows by a little less than two months another school board election that saw the district shed incumbent Matt Slowik, while hanging on to Mary Sandoval, Mars Serna and Adam Perez.
O’Brien now heads the district’s trustees, who include Peter Garcia, also elected in 2016.
Having run on a platform of enhancing campus security, eliminating bullying and intimidation among students and emphasizing the district’s math and science curriculum with an eye toward training future engineers and physicians, O’Brien has passed his two-year milestone with some satisfaction at what has been achieved so far but looking to double down on that commitment.
“In this newly acquired leadership role, I intend to work hard on behalf of Fontana students by addressing pertinent issues that have been identified by parents and community stakeholders, which include more student intervention programs, continued access to local mentors and leaders, improved student achievement in the areas of math and science, and more financial scholarship opportunities,” O’Brien said. “Our students need to be exposed early on to the possible career opportunities that await them in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math. Through partnerships with Inland Empire businesses and academic institutions, Fontana students will have access to internships and summer programs that provide the foundation for learning and foster an interest in these areas.”
Part of his role as board president, O’Brien said, will entail getting the word out so those who are not taking full advantage of what the district has to offer will avail themselves of the awaiting opportunities.
“Over the past couple of years, I think our board of education leaders have been effective in being visible and accessible to staff and district,” he said. “I plan to continue this level of access as the new president, and to go a step further by publicizing the great achievements of our district to the community at large. A great deal of positive information about the academic achievement of our students goes unnoticed, and I want to work with our board and superintendent to increase the spotlight on these important accomplishments. Many working and commuting residents don’t visit the district’s social media platforms and websites, so we have to find more creative ways to get the word out.”
O’Brien, who is employed as a detective with the Los Angeles Police Department and is married to a former school board member, said “For the most part, I believe the majority of Fontana residents understand how much has been accomplished under our current leadership. The election on November 6th resulted in the re-election of two out of three board of education incumbents. This is reassuring. As a board, we are very diverse in our professional experiences, backgrounds and education. This is something that benefits the community tremendously, and I consider it one of our greatest strengths. The various perspectives that we bring to the table help us empathize and understand the challenges faced by our students. This is something that evidently resonates with our community as well.”
Under his watch, O’Brien said, the district’s faculty and staff will not lose focus on the fundamental mission of Fontana’s schools, which is to educate students so that as they mature they will be equipped to make their way in the world.
“One of the key areas that we continue working to improve are student test scores,” O’Brien said. “We want the majority of our students to be proficient or advanced in the core subjects, and although we are not quite there, we are encouraged by the increase in test scores each year that we continue to see. For example, the percentage of Fontana Unified District students that met or exceeded proficiency in English language arts increased by five percent from 2017 to 2018, and in math we increased by nearly four percent.”
In years past, Fontana’s municipal political leadership had a firm grip on the district, and the mayor and city council dominated, for the most part, the school board. That is no longer the case and in recent weeks, Fontana’s mayor, Acquanetta Warren, made statements somewhat critical of the state of education in the city, which were widely interpreted as criticism of the school district and the school board. Warren said she was declaring a “state of emergency” with regard to education in the city and was ready to “go to war” to “fix” the problem.
O’Brien sought to avoid overreaction to what some considered a political provocation.
“I think that when any community leader or elected official perceives there to be a problem, then the response should be to promote collaboration and cooperation, as opposed to adopting an adversarial stance that projects a combative spirit. We must remain professional and level-headed because our community counts on us to do so. Using words like ‘war’ to describe anything affiliated with children, families and school district personnel is not something I would recommend. Everyone is entitled to his or her perception and opinion; however, it is important that we not politicize education and attempt to incite fear to manipulate voters.”
O’Brien cited some district achievements to drive home his assertion that the situation is not as dire as the mayor was suggesting.
“In addition to improved test scores, we have also been recognized for other noteworthy recent achievements,” O’Brien said. “Southridge Middle School is one of only 40 schools in the United States to be named a Microsoft Showcase School for transformational leadership and the improvement of student outcomes. Dorothy Grant and Chaparral Elementary are the first two schools in the Inland Empire to become “Code to the Future Schools” – the nation’s leading immersive science curricula that engages students in technology-and-coding based lessons. California Assemblyman Freddie Rodriguez named school counselor Julie Bello ‘2018 Educator of the Year’ for her success in using mini robots to teach students leadership skills and instill college and career readiness. The Fontana Unified School District and the San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools named Theresa Pearce ‘Teacher of the Year’ for her guidance that led students to win California State and local science competitions.”
When the Sentinel suggested that O’Brien might use Mayor Warren’s declaration as an opportunity to press her and other city officials to back up her characterization by earmarking a portion of the city’s treasury to fund education programs to augment the district’s function, he said, “I don’t see this as a budget issue, as most of the district funding comes from the state. I interpret the recent public remarks that you mentioned to be an attempt at undermining confidence in the district’s leadership. This is being done for political reasons, and not in the interest of children. There are important issues in our city to be addressed. Just the other day, my wife and I went for a walk on the Fontana Pacific Electric Trail, and sidestepped a number homeless residents lying on the ground. I would be very encouraged if the city’s leadership openly declared war on poverty and homelessness, and began focusing its efforts in that direction.”
O’Brien indicated he thought it best that both the city and the district devote themselves and the focus of their elected leaderships and staffs to their respective duties. Just as he did not believe the city or its mayor should be trying to second guess the district or the school board when it comes to administering and managing Fontana’s schools, he did not see it as his place to be critical of the city’s accommodation of developmental interests. A primary consequence of the city’s willingness to go along with intensive and aggressive land use is an expansion in residential development that has put Fontana, now at a population of 210,000, on the brink of eclipsing San Bernardino as the county’s largest city. This has carried with it an enlarging student population which some believe is burdening the school district.
Asked if he thought Mayor Warren and her city council colleagues were in some measure responsible for the problems in the city’s educational system about which she has been so vocal as of late because the city in the past failed to impose upon the developers profiting by the development that has occurred in Fontana sufficient requirements to offset the burdens on the district that development entails, O’Brien said, “The number of students in the district is not a problem for us. We are not experiencing overcrowding for the most part. More than 85 percent of our students are socioeconomically disadvantaged, and so there are many built-in challenges that accompany children living in poverty. This is why the city leadership should focus its attention addressing homeless, economic development, and attracting middle class jobs. Our students have less of a hill to climb when their basic needs are met.”
