State Water Board Delays BlueTriton Cease And Desist Order Finalization Re: Strawberry Canyon

It appears that the California State Water Resources Control Board will postpone finalizing the proposed limitations on BlueTriton Brands’ extraction of water from Strawberry Canyon in the San Bernardino Mountains until a yet-undetermined date later this year. The public will have an opportunity to make comment on those limitations, including proposing an outright ban of BlueTriton’s water use in Strawberry Canyon, through August 11.
The board was previously scheduled to take up the matter next week on July 18, but because of what were characterized as adjustments to the final order as hashed out by administrative hearing officer Alan Lilly after extensive hearings in 2022, the public is being provided with an opportunity to provide further input on the order, which in its current form directs the respondent, BlueTriton Brands, Inc. to cease its diversions through ten sources of water in Strawberry Canyon, those being tunnels 2, 3 and 7, and boreholes 1, 1A, 7, 7A, 7B, 7C and 8 in the Strawberry Creek watershed in San Bernardino County for its water-bottling operations because BlueTriton does not have any water rights that authorize those diversions and uses.

Rialto Councilman Claims Vindication

Rialto Councilmember Andy Carrizales had no political, financial or criminal conflict of interest when he voted last month to allow a proposal to build a 470,000-square-foot warehouse at Pepper Avenue and the 210 Freeway in lieu of a commercial project, the California Fair Practices Commission has determined.
The project, which was proposed by Howard Industrial Partners LLC and called for a zone change/land use redesignation from what the city terms community commercial to light industrial use and a conditional use permit on 23.82 acres along with a certification of the architectural standards on the buildings entailed, was given go-ahead by a slim 3-to-2 margin on June 13, with Carrizales, Councilman Ed Scott and Rafael Trujillo prevailing and Mayor Deborah Robertson and Councilman Joe Baca dissenting.
Both Robertson and Baca seized on the consideration that Carrizales and his family live in a home that lies less than 500 feet of the boundary line of the 2017 Pepper Avenue Specific Plan, one of the city’s development planning districts in which the subject property is included. They further concluded based on Carrizales himself having obtained from City Hall permits to make improvements to the property, that he had an ownership interest in it. Reasoning that his June 13 vote thus had an impact on Carrizales’ financial circumstance, Councilman Baca publicly stated that Carrizales should not vote on the matter.
Carrizales insisted the regulations Baca and Robertson were citing were inapplicable to him and that though where he lived was somewhat proximate to the much larger specific plan area, the house in which he and his family lived was well beyond 500 feet from the warehouse site. Moreover, others were claiming the approval of the warehouse on the property in question would not increase residential values but lessen them. Continue reading

Improvements, Including Crow’s Nests, Obscure View At Redlands Bowl, Residents Observe

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

Hostetter Convicted!

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