If we really feared the crash, most of us would be unable to look at a car, let alone drive one.
–writer J. G. Ballard, author of the novel Crash

By Phill Courtney
For many years my father was a general practitioner attorney, doing some, yes, homicide cases (two), but also wills; probates; divorces; and personal injury lawsuits, one of which involved a woman whose sciatic nerve was hit by a needle injection from a poorly trained nurse, resulting in a leg paralysis and a substantial settlement.
Another of my dad’s cases that was memorable for me came along during a short period when I worked for my dad (a mistake—but that’s another story) and involved a young woman who’d been the victim of disabling physical injuries including severe brain damage shortly before her wedding. She’d survived the auto accident, but her fiancé, who was driving, died when he lost control of the car, while her life was forever altered.
Occasionally, she’d shuffle into the office with her partially paralyzed left side in the company of her caregiving aunt in order to consult with my dad about the conservatorship he was handling for her family. Although she could grasp some of what was happening through the fog of her damaged brain, it was also heartbreaking to see what a single moment of inattention behind the wheel had done to the life of one young woman who was looking forward to a happy life with her husband and perhaps a family.
I’ve never forgotten her. But then my experience with her and that case is hardly unique, and I can say with a fair degree of confidence that basically no one in this country has gone through life without being either injured in an auto accident themselves, or knowing someone who has, or also killed; a toll that includes members of my own family and a close friend.
One of my younger brothers had his elbow badly mangled in a rollover auto accident in high school (yes—an old story: teenagers out for a joy ride), while my other brother (who’d actually lost a friend in another high school joyride accident) suffered from some lifelong back and neck trouble after he’s been broadsided at an intersection by a woman who’d run a red light.
As for one of my best friends: he was almost killed while walking down a roadside when a man driving a van after, as they say: he’d had “a bit too much to drink,” had struck and thrown him some 150 feet, resulting in broken bones; a lengthy hospital stay; and a lifelong limp. He was lucky to be alive, and although, like my dad’s client, he’d survived, his life was never the same after he became addicted to pain killers and eventually died of a drug overdose.
Sadly, the stories are endless and all because of our car culture and our affection and even love for the auto, which has been going on now for well-over 100 years. Of course, besides the many victims of accidents that we’ve personally known, the list also includes many famous people, including writers like Albert Camus (The Stranger) and Nathanial West (Day of the Locust), as well as some actors like James Dean (Rebel Without a Cause) and Jayne Mansfield (Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?)
Hollywood trivia buffs may remember that Playboy playmate Mansfield (who’d made “Hollywood history” by becoming the first mainstream movie star to go the “Full Monty” in a 1963 film) was being driven in a car that rear-ended a tractor-trailer rig late one night in 1967, killing her; her manager; and the young man driving. She was 34 years old. (Her children, sleeping in the back, lived, and, despite the urban myth, no, she was not decapitated.) Her death did have one beneficial outcome however when metal bars were mandated on the backs of trucks to help prevent such “drive-under” casualties.
Now, before I step onto my soapbox for some “Phillosophizing” about motor vehicles, I have two more personal stories of interest. During the latter part of the previous decade, a friend of my wife engaged in a one-woman battle against both the car culture and the Redlands city bureaucracy. She lives off one of our cross-town thoroughfares which was often used (and probably still is) by local speed-demons as a drag strip, usually late at night.
Several of those dragsters had lost control at a cross-street culvert, crashing into her house—one of which completely penetrated her study; destroyed her piano; and probably would have killed her grandchildren had they been sleeping there that night as they sometimes did. My wife and I went over shortly thereafter, and it looked like a tornado had hit the house.
A long battle ensued to convince officials of the danger, and finally a flashing stop sign was installed. But it wasn’t until she took proactive action; bought several huge, and almost VW Bug-sized boulders and had them placed around the front perimeter of her house, that she could sleep soundly at night.
Another friend in Redlands is fighting a battle to calm the traffic on Pioneer St. where she lives, which only has one stop sign on an almost two-mile stretch between Orange and Judson, and, like our other friend’s street, is now a delight for those drivers determined to make an uninterrupted cross-town dash. She’s spoken to the city, and although several permanent solutions are now being considered, in the meantime she’s terrified of exiting her driveway.
Tellingly—after my friend began complaining to me about the problems on Pioneer—two young men died on that stretch when they lost control while speeding late one night and hit a lamppost. I talked to a nearby neighbor shortly thereafter and he was still profoundly shaken after his one and only experience of being the first on the scene at a fatal accident.
Although most of us have been spared that experience (one night I did see a man lying on the side of a freeway near some stopped cars, but never found out if he was alive or dead), like I’ve noted, almost all of us have known at least one person injured or killed in a motor vehicle accident–a toll now heading towards four million dead Americans since the first fatality in 1899, when pedestrian, Henry Bliss, was crushed by an electric taxi in New York City. Nowadays, deaths total over 100 every 24 hours. Yes, that’s right: over 100.
Sometimes I wonder if anyone (and there must have been some) noticed those early casualties during the cusp of the 20th century’s “auto age,” and said: You know what? If we go with a transportation system consisting primarily of all these uncoordinated vehicles moving about willy-nilly, there’s bound to be hundreds of deaths. Now, of course, it’s millions, during which time stop lights did help, but some 120 years of exhorting drivers to “slow down and be careful,” has not made much of a dent—if you’ll pardon the expression.
However, there have been some noteworthy downticks to the toll, and what’s done it? For one: safer cars with first seatbelts and then airbags (which saved a friend of mine when her car was broadside at over 100-miles-an-hour by a knucklehead fleeing police), both of which were fought tooth and nail by the auto industry until legislators wised up, thanks in no small part to consumer advocate Ralph Nader. But it wasn’t easy.
For years it was hoped that educating the public might do the trick, with many public service commercials on TV (which some of us remember) urging seatbelts. The one I remember the most featured actors portraying people opposed to the belt, one of whom was a woman with a wrinkled nose and apparently some wrinkled dresses as well who said she didn’t like seatbelts because “they wrinkle my dress.”
Just before the rates of seatbelt use rose, not because of learning their benefits, but because of the laws, they’d only gotten compliance up to some 15 percent nation-wide (so much for education—and I’ve been an educator), but now only one state does not mandate their use for adults—New Hampshire—where their state motto is: “Live free or die.” Well, I guess they still are.
But now, at a time when we’re well into the second century of cars, the “Faustian bargain” with our vehicles still prevails. In exchange for the “freedom” of our cars, we’ve been willing to risk losing our lives; the lives of our loved ones; and friends, a list which for me now also includes a hugely talented writing colleague whose life was snuffed out one night by a driver running a red light as my friend was returning home from comforting his daughter during a crisis.
The problem is this: since those early 20th century days when we first traded our love of life for our love of cars, we’ve designed our culture’s physical infrastructure for motor vehicles, not people, and I’ve always resented the fact that we didn’t decide to provide alternatives for those who didn’t want to drive (or people who can’t drive, like the elderly and children) that are more convenient (which rules out buses); less expensive; and, yes, far more safe.
Of course, the Los Angeles megalopolis and even many parts of the Inland Empire were once serviced by the electrically powered and far less polluting Red Cars, which both my parents would recall with fondness, but, in a well-known story, a conspiracy between oil and tire companies, plus other “vested” interests like Triple A, saw to it that all the tracks were torn up by the 1960s.
I once read somewhere that the motor vehicle is, essentially, the greatest invention yet for the consumption of natural resources—someone’s wry definition that’s difficult to argue with since that breathtaking consumption is fairly impossible to estimate once you consider all that’s been devoured by our car culture in the last century: all the rubber; all the metals; all the oil; all the gasoline; and all the other raw materials which we’ve squandered.
And if you want a stark visual reminder of that statement about resources, just go to some natural area—or some back road empty fields, or a ravine—and view all the used tires left there because they’re not profitable for individuals to recycle, and then weep at the waste.
In the final analysis, the car culture’s proven to be a profoundly selfish; tragic; and colossal blunder both for humans; the many animals killed; and the environment itself since the decision that our “convenience” is more important than even the air we breathe, which has been turned into a common dumping ground for toxic gases that destroy our lungs; the atmosphere; and even life itself.
Yes, perhaps it might take another 100 years or more to build the infrastructure for the sort of close-knit communities that inspire walking, biking, jogging (or low-speed electric vehicles for those who need them), where no one dies, and we vastly improve our physical health in the bargain, but it needs to be done.
Many more lives have been lost or brutally diminished in the years since I saw my father’s client limping into his office some four decades ago, and it remains to be seen if we’ll commit to a transformation of our transportation systems where another future is possible. Or will we continue with the status quo, destroying both all those lives in “accidents,” and our life-giving atmosphere with tailpipe pollution, rendering any possibility for a healthier tomorrow a moot point.
It will be done either the painful way: when we’re forced to do it, or the easy way: voluntarily, but, either way, the choice, as always, is ours.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call FOR SALES INFORMATION, PLEASE CALL (855) 986-9342 or visit this internet web-site www.superiordefault.com, using the file number assigned to this case 2024-1860. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet web-site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction if conducted after January l, 2021, pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call FOR SALES INFORMATION, PLEASE CALL (855) 986-9342, or visit this internet website www.superiordefault.com, using the file number assigned to this case 2024-1860 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid, by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code, so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

A. ABEYSEKERA
CASE NO. PROVA250l000
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both of SUNANDA A.
ABEYSEKERA: a petition for probate has been filed by SAHAN ABEYSEKERA in the Superior Court of California, County of SAN BERNARDINO.
THE PETITION for Probate requests that SAHAN ABEYSEKERA 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 February 5, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. at
San Bernardino County Superior Court Fontana District
Department F1 – Fontana
17780 Arrow Boulevard
Fontana, CA 92335
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 de-livery 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.

A tactic most people have never heard of is to file a UCC-1 lien against your own assets through an LLC that you control. On paper, it looks like your assets are already pledged as collateral. Creditors check records and see secured debts so that suddenly your wealth isn’t worth chasing. It’s a legal mirage the wealthy use to keep predators away.

Reports are circulating that Atif Elkadi, the chief executive office at Ontario International Airport since 2022, will be leaving that post no later than March.
There are a multitude of indicators that Elkadi, who began at Ontario International in November 2017 as the facility’s deputy chief executive officer and stepped into the top spot at the airport four years and four months later, is on his way out as the top administrator at the airport or has already departed.
Though the airport’s official website yet identifies Elkadi as the chief executive officer with the airport and the Ontario International Airport Authority, early this week word emanating from the headquarters airport headquarters located at 1923 East Avion Avenue in Ontario was that he was on the brink of departing as chief executive officer, and that his leaving is to be finalized no later than March. There were further unverified indications that he had already left.
On Wednesday, the Sentinel made extensive efforts to contact Elkadi at the airport headquarters. It did not appear that he was present.
The Sentinel made multiple phone calls to what was formerly Elkadi’s direct phone line at the airport, the office phone for the airport administration and the airport authority office, all of which were routed to automated service desks or answering services for offices which were unrelated to the airport administration or individuals who may or may not be directly involved with the airport. The Sentinel was unable to get through to either Elkadi or his secretary. Elkadi’s unavailability has has fueled speculation that his official departure has taken place or is imminent.
Elkadi has begun applying for management positions with other airports. One of these was San Diego International Airport, where Kimberly Becker is due to leave as the chief executive two months on march 18. Further information available to the Sentinel is that Elkadi was among six individuals with extensive airport administrative experience who applied for the top executive officer’s post at San Diego International Airport and was ranked sixth on the evaluation list of those competing for the job. The ultimate decision on which candidate is to be hired is to be determined on pending further interviews by members of the San Diego International Airport Authority Board of Directors of candidates deemed suitable and salary negotiations, the Sentinel was told. The board of directors has opted to limit those follow-up interviews and salary discussions to the top three-ranked applicants, meaning Elkadi is no longer in the running for the job.
In Ontario, there have been varying accounts as to whether Elkadi has acted openly or surreptitiously in attempting to make the jump from Ontario International to wherever it is he is to land next.
One version, which in much of its aspect is virtually indistinguishable from promotional materials put out by the airport,is that he is doing so with the full knowledge of the five members of the Ontario International Airport Authority Board – Board President Alan Wapner, who is also a member of the Ontario City Council; Wapner’s council colleague, Ontario City Councilman Jim Bowman; San Bernardino County Fourth District Supervisor Curt Hagman; Ron Loveridge, who was formerly mayor of Riverside; and Judith Gouw, the former president and chief operating officer of East West Bank.
By this version of events, Mr. Elkadi is truly a top-drawer airport manager who can essentially write his own ticket, such that he is long past due to move upwards. It is assumed by some of those working with him that after he moves on to a larger airport on the order of San Diego International Airport, San Francisco International Airport or Detroit Metropolitan Airport, it is a virtual inevitability that he will close out his career overseeing one or the other among the world’s largest and most heavily-utilized airports, such as King Fahd International in Saudi Arabia, Dulles International in Washington, D.C., Suvarnabhumi International in Thailand, Denver International, Dubai International, Heathrow in London or New Delhi International in India. According to at least some of those affiliated with him at Ontario International, everyone in Ontario recognizes what an extraordinary talent Elkadi is, and the members of the airport authority board recognize that having Mr. Elkadi as the airport’s chief executive for nearly four years has been most fortuitous, and it is only natural that he is now progressing toward a more prestigious assignment. Wapner, they say, understands that Ontario International cannot possibly hope to keep Elkaldi much longer.
By contrast, there are reports that Elkadi has been attempting to keep his intention to leave under wraps, such that the board was to not find out about his departure until he has secured another post comparable to Ontario International chief executive officer. Accordingly, several individuals in the know say that Airport Board President Wapner’s attitude with regard to Elkadi’s move is anything but positive. Those long familiar with the political relations among Ontario’s officeholders and the halls of governance say there is no way Elkadi would openly seek employment elsewhere because if he did, Wapner would perceive any such move as a demonstration of disloyalty and would terminate Mr. Elkadi on the spot. Thus, what is circulating is that Elkadi is at present desperately seeking another airport management post, hoping to find one comparable to that of Ontario International chief executive officer but that he is psychologically prepared to accept a lesser role with a major airport virtually anywhere in the world.

The Barstow City Council, which for just over five years has been afflicted with precipitously shifting alliances and seemingly unpredictably divisive developments among personnel changes, whipsawed the historic and quintessential railroad town toward further political dysfunction last month with a vote to censure its longest currently serving member.
Once a model of progressive-leaning governance, the City of Barstow’s city council is now competing with those in Yucaipa, Montclair along with the one in the County Seat and winning in the contest to claim the title of the most disjointed and cross-purposed decision-making panel heading local government in San Bernardino County.
At the Barstow City Council’s December 16 meeting, Mayor Tim Silva, Councilmen John Williams and James Noble together with Councilwoman Carmen Hernandez voted to censure Councilwoman Barbara Rose, ostensibly for launching misdirected personal attacks on City Manager Rochelle Clayton.
That circumstance grew out of a series of unclearly-sourced and unverified social media postings which accused Clayton of failing to evince sufficient excitement over the Barstow High School football team’s march toward capturing the CIF State Division 4AA championship and what was said to be her attempt at undermining support of the team the night of what was a crucial championship series game for the team.
The Barstow community was understandably enthused over the Aztec’s 2025 performance. The team dropped its first three games in August and September to Capistrano Valley, Serrano and Sagerstrom, but from September 12 onward convincingly defeated Sultana, Burroughs and Victor Valley, overcame Silverado 24-to-17, and then trounced Granite Hills and Adelanto before meeting up with Serrano for a rematch in the first round of the California Interscholastic Federation championship playoffs on November 7, revenging the earlier loss in the season with a 34-to-12 victory and advancing to the quarterfinals. The Aztecs then blew out La Canada 34-to-6 before embarrassing Palm Springs 28-to-7 and defeating Apple Valley 10-to-7 on November 28 to capture the CIF-Southern Section Division 7 Championship. On December 5 Barstow beat Immanuel for the CIF 4AA Southern California title and on December 12 beat Sutter 17-7 in a come-from-behind win to capture the CIF State Division 4AA championship.

Three hikers, including two experience mountaineers from Central America, lost their lives on Mt. Baldy late last month, reportedly while they were attempting to cross the treacherous Devil’s Backbone.
An unsuccessful effort by would-be rescuers on December 29 to reach a 19-year-old man who fell hundreds of feet down the icy mountain as he and a companion braved the winter conditions in an effort to reach the 42nd highest peak in California led to the discovery of two others who, alas, had already met the same fate.
Arctic and worsening conditions on the windswept mountain have prompted the U.S. Forest Service to close the wilderness area and all approaches to the peak to the public indefinitely.
According to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, “On December 29, 2025, at about 11:30 a.m., personnel from the Sheriff’s search and rescue team and the Fontana Sheriff’s Station responded to a request to locate an injured 19-year-old male hiker near Devils [sic] Backbone. The hiker reportedly fell approximately 500 feet. His friend and hiking companion hiked to an area with cellular service and provided GPS [global positioning satellite] coordinates to assist rescuers.”
The sheriff’s department narrative continued, “Search and rescue ground crews began their ascent while sheriff’s air rescue initiated an aerial search. During the aerial search, deputies located the injured hiker and located two additional individuals nearby who have not been identified. Due to severe winds, the helicopter was unable to safely complete the rescue. At approximately 7:30 p.m., an airship [helicopter] from Los Angeles County assisted in the effort. High winds again prevented a hoist operation; however, an air medic was hoisted down and confirmed all three individuals were deceased. Due to severe winds, the helicopter was unable to safely complete the rescue.” Continue reading →

In a sharp rebuke to a coterie of California’s most powerful politicians, a federal judge last month struck down California schools’ policies preventing teachers from informing parents if their offspring while on campus are assuming a gender identity at a variance with that assigned them as a consequence of their outward biology at birth.
U.S. District Judge Roger T. Benitez’s 52-page decision and order issued on December 22 declared so-called “parental exclusion policies,” which predominate in California’s schools and which have been embraced and touted by Governor Gavin Newsom, California Attorney General Rob Bonta, California Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond and with only three exceptions all Democrats in the state legislature, to be unconstitutional and an inherent violation of parents’ rights.
Judge Benitiez’s ruling further vindicated efforts by nearly a dozen school districts around the state, including two in San Bernardino County, which either questioned the practice of purposely leaving parents in the dark about the in-classroom/on-campus comportment of their own children or explicitly mandated that parents be informed of their children’s putative gender transition and were sued , sanctioned or prevented by state officials and state courts for doing so.
In entering his ruling in the case of Mirabelli et al. v. Olson et al., Judge Benitez granted a permanent injunction against state officials, ruling that the government and school officials cannot supplant parents in raising their children and overseeing the medical treatment they receive.
In April 2023, Elizabeth Mirabelli and Lori Ann West, middle school teachers in the Escondido Union School District, together with a group of parents who were not identified by name filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California against the Escondido Union School District Board of Education, the California State Board of Education, the California Department of Education and State Superintendent of Schools Tony Thurmond over a district policy which required them to dissemble and outright mislead parents when they were faced with a situation in which students have assumed a gender at a variance with their natural sex. The suit contended that California school districts, in accordance with guidance provided by the California Department of Education, forced teachers to deceive parents if a student requested to go by a new name or pronouns at school.
