Final ratification of the Yucaipa Freeway Corridor month bogged down at the planning commission level last month, placing the controversial growth plan that will citify a substantial swath of the county’s still somewhat countrified 16th largest geographically and 14th most populous city in the hands of the city council.

Federal Auditors Probing Ontario International Books For Irregularities And Diversions
A team of five auditors brought in by the federal government are poring over the books kept by the Ontario International Airport Authority and the management team at Ontario International Airport, looking for evidence of the diversion of funds and misuse of money entrusted to the joint powers authority created by the City of Ontario to oversee the aerodrome’s operations.
Information available to the Sentinel is that there are five auditors working in conjunction with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Federal Aviation Administration and the Internal Revenue Service making an exhaustive examination of financial activity at the airport ascertain if and how much money going through the airport’s accounts were expended on non-aviation-related activities.
What was related to the Sentinel is that the attention of federal investigators was caught when they learned that the airport had a $10 million promotional budget while comparably sized and located aeronautics facilities would normally expend roughly one-fifth of that – $2 million – on advertising and the like. Those knowledgeable about certain activities involving airport officials – including the board members of the Ontario International Airport Authority, the authority’s administration and the airport management – say that the promotional aspect of the operations became entangled with multiple professional sports teams and what turned into the illicit trafficking in and distribution of sports tickets. At one point, it was alleged to the Sentinel, the airport was spending $350,000 per year on USC football tickets and $250,000 on Kings tickets and that there have also been expenditures on Rams and Lakers tickets.

What might have been multiple deaths along a stretch of the Mojave Desert were avoided early this evening after motorists who were stranded for more than eight hours in heat which at times exceeded 109 degrees followed the lead of a single bold driver who defied authorities by crossing the I-15 median west of Baker to end a vehicle logjam after the California Highway Patrol and both the San Bernardino County Fire Department and the California Division of Forestry’s firefighters abandoned more than 2,000 travelers in the sweltering heat earlier in the day.
An untold number of the hundreds of motorists who found themselves trapped on the I-15 Freeway at or near the Clyde V. Kane Rest Area suffered heat stroke, which many had sought to ward off by remaining in their vehicles with their engines running and air conditioning on. But after being forced to remain in place, unable to continue northeast toward Baker and Las Vegas and unable to turn around and head southwest back to Barstow, the vehicles themselves began to overheat or ran low on fuel. Those who then exited from their cars put themselves in danger of breathing the carbon monoxide-laden exhaust from other vehicles.
This dilemma came about as a consequence of the crash of a big rig hauling lithium-ion batteries that occurred around 5:57 a.m. in the freeway’s right northbound lane between Afton Canyon Road and Basin Road, roughly 45 miles east of Barstow and 21 miles west of Baker. Continue reading
At what was virtually the twelfth hour, San Bernardino County officials today initiated the first public step toward placing a proposal to steeply increase the pay of the sheriff, the district attorney, the county clerk/county assessor/county recorder and the county treasurer/auditor/controller/tax collector before the voters on November 5.
At 4:59 p.m. today, Friday July 26, the county sent out notice of a special meeting called for Tuesday, July 30.
Two items are contained on agenda, one of which pertains to a $20,701,203 contract with Newtown Square, Pennsylvania-based SAP Public Services, Inc. to provide so-called “cloud services,” i.e., retrievable data storage, to the county for the period of July 31, 2024 through September 8, 2029. Significantly, no staff report accompanies that item. It is believed, but no confirmation was provided by the county that the data storage arrangement is an outgrowth of the county’s efforts to recover from the hacking of the sheriff’s department’s computer system in the March/April 2023 timeframe and prevent any future recurrences. The county paid a ransom of $1.1 million to Russian mob figures last year to regain access to its lost data and restore the functionality of its computer system.
The presentation of the item without a less than in-depth explanation in the form of a staff report is highly irregular. Continue reading
The mean streets of San Bernardino County, which had already descended into what is a sadistic existential reality for many, have in recent months weeks and days grown even crueler.
The homelessness issue in San Bernardino County has worsened considerably over the last two-and-a-half decades, owing to a number of factors, including the year-around livable weather of Southern California and its location immediately adjacent to Los Angeles County, itself a haven for the dispossessed.
An intensive effort on the part of many, from federal to state to regional to county to local governmental officials as well as by volunteers and well-intentioned do-gooders to address the issue has been ongoing, with greater degrees of commitment and financial expenditure throughout the era. Nevertheless, for a multitude of reasons, the foremost of which are a lack of comprehensive coordination and the diversion of much of the money that has been expended to entities – individuals, companies and organizations – which have consumed the monetary layouts with little in the way of tangible reduction of the homeless epidemic.
Within San Bernardino County, the political resolve needed to forge a comprehensive solution to the homeless crisis has not come about because of a basic philosophical clash between on one hand, those who feel that homelessness verges on criminality and that the destitute should be dealt with harshly as part of a strategy to have them leave the local area altogether and on the other hand those who have been labeled as “bleeding hearts,” who envision public/private efforts to house and care for those who live on the streets. This clash of intentions and viewpoints, with individuals who are often influential, efficient and energetic working at cross purposes, further accounts for why few meaningful inroads have been made into the homeless dilemma, both locally and statewide.

In what seemed to some simply bad timing, to others a demonstration of influence peddling, and to others still a show of insensitivity, the Yucaipa City Council recently juxtaposed an appeal to its residents that they dig deeper into their pockets to demonstrate their civic pride with allowing their major political patrons’ company to up what they charge the city’s residents and businesses for an essential service by more than one fifth.
On June 24, the council voted to place on the November 5 ballot a measure calling for the imposition of a one cent per dollar sales tax override on all businesses within Yucaipa City Limits. The same night, those solons approved increasing by 22.1 percent the rates domestic and commercial customers will pay Burrtec Industries, Yucaipa’s franchised trash hauler, for trash collection.
In May, both Yucaipa City Manager Chris Mann and Finance Director Phil White informed the city council that they were projecting a budget deficit for Fiscal Year 2024-25, running from July 1, 2024 until June 30, 2025, of $7.2 million, given that the city had anticipated revenues of $35.7 million, and was slated to spend $40.1 million during that time, compounded by a $2.9 million shortfall in its fire fund. It was noted that Yucaipa collected roughly $2 million less in revenue than it spent during Fiscal year 2023-24, which ran from July 1, 2023 until June 30, 2024. Continue reading
Barstow is the latest community in San Bernardino County to face the eradication of its humane facilities aimed at preventing the slaughter of wild and feral animals or lost and displaced pets.
As has been the case in the cities of San Bernardino, Hesperia and Upland, the concerted efforts of volunteers and underfunded municipal divisions devoted to animal control have proven inadequate to the task of dealing with the volumes of uncared-for animals on their streets, neighborhoods and both wide-open and confined areas. As a consequence, volunteers have in large measure stepped in to take on the function that in most other communities has traditionally relegated to municipal or county animal control divisions.
The Route 66 Animal Shelter, located at 2340 Main Street in Barstow, was opened last year as a no-kill facility. The founders had philosophical differences with municipal officials, whose approach toward animal control, was largely deferred to the county. While perhaps not meeting the definition of inhumane or sadistic, the region’s animal control operations were more practically oriented. Governmental workers, intent on maintaining a safe and clean environment, are more goal-oriented when it comes to handling stray pets. If, after what those animal control workers consider to be a decent interim, pets in their custody are not adopted or spoken for by their original owners, they will ruthlessly “put down” those animals, to use a euphemism.
By euthanizing the animals that remain unplaced with new owners, city animal shelters free up the space monopolized by those unadopted dogs or cats, allowing the next batch of new arrivals a place to survive for a time deemed long enough for someone to see and adopt them. If that doesn’t occur, the process repeats itself. Continue reading
