The San Bernardino City Council this week heard the game plan AE-COM, The Fransen Com-pany and KB Homes have formulated over the last 15 months for the comprehensive redevel-opment of the Carousel Mall. Expressing appre-ciation of what was pre-viewed, the council gave approval to what will be the first phase of that un-dertaking, which is to

entail the construction of 25,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space and the provision of 10,000 square feet of public open space.

What was originally known as the Central City Mall was built around the grand old Harris building in 1972. J.C. Penney, and Mont-gomery Ward joined it as major tenants, and the mall boasted 49 other

stores or shops of vary-ing sizes. Herman Har-ris, Philip Harris, Ar-thur Harris and Leopold Harris opened the Harris Department Store in San Bernardino in 1905. For two-thirds of the 20th Century it was the prin-cipal emporium of that city, remaining under Harris family ownership and management well into the 1970s. The Cen-tral City Mall was for a

time a premier shopping location, temporarily besting its major rival in town, the Inland Center, which opened in 1966. At its peak in the mid 1980s, it boasted more than 100 tenants. In the late 1980s it was renovated, and a carousel was installed in the bottom floor, at which point it was re-christened the Carousel Mall. But its fortunes waned with those of the

rest of San Bernardino over the years, and by the late 1990s, it be-gan to decline. The first major blow came when Gottschalks, which had bought out Harris, elect-ed to close at that loca-tion in 1998 and relocat-ed in the Inland Center. Three years later, in 2001, Montgomery Ward went out of business. At that point, J.C. Penney was the sole an-

By Mark GutglueckAlarm is in a neck-

and-neck competition with suspicion over the City of Industry’s move to purchase from its now defunct redevelopment agency the 2,450-acre Tres Hermanos Ranch, which straddles the bor-ders separating Los An-geles, Orange and San Bernardino counties.

The sprawling prop-

erty within and abutting Tonner Canyon consists of oak woodlands, ri-parian habitat, rolling hillsides, canyon creeks, cattle pastures and graz-ing land for longhorn steers, chaparral that offers cover for bobcats, mountain lions, skunks and opossum, scattered black walnut trees and glades that hum with the buzz of honey bees

at certain times of the year. The ranch was pur-chased by the City of In-dustry’s Redevelopment Agency for $12.1 million in 1978 from the heirs of the three magnates – capitalist brothers – who acquired the ranch and gave it its name – Oil baron Tom Scott; Harry Chandler, former pub-lisher of the Los Ange-les Times; and William

Rowland, son of John Rowland, who led pio-neers over the Santa Fe Trail to California and the San Gabriel Valley in the 1840s.

The purchase was un-usual if not entirely un-heard of, as the property was not in or even con-tiguous with the City of Industry.

Industry’s redevelop-ment agency’s acquisi-

tion came six years after the Pomona Valley Mu-nicipal Water District floated the concept of us-ing a portion of the prop-erty for a water storage and treatment system in 1972. That talk went so far as the compiling of a feasibility study for the “Tonner Canyon Water Project.” The feasibil-ity study was retired to a shelf and

The Victor Valley Wastewater Reclama-tion Authority misspent, improperly accounted for, misapplied or mis-managed $31.7 million in federal funds put at its disposal to complete the Upper Narrows Pipe-line Replacement Proj-ect, justifying a further examination of the joint authority’s books and performance, according to an audit completed last month.

The Office of the In-spector General with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security took exception with how the authority, which counts as its participants Apple Valley, Hesperia, Victor-ville and San Bernardino County, failed to carry out adequate cost/price analyses of bid proposals and did not apply the rig-ors of its own procure-ment policy or federal requirements regarding ensuring contractor per-formance in its rush to complete the project.

Completion costs on the project totaled $42 million by its July 2016 completion date. The project was necessitated, officials said, after win-ter storms in December 2010 washed out and ruptured a portion of a 29-year-old sewer line in the Mojave River, and roughly 42 million gallons of sewage was spilled into the river. The project permanently re-placed a temporary pipe-line installed after the storm-precipitated pipe rupture.

While the project was completed and ap-pears to have achieved its stated goal, according to the audit the authority did not follow a

partment of Toxics Sub-stance Control on Janu-ary 31 convened a public meeting at the Needles Senior Center to provide information about the ef-fort to redress chromium contamination from a facility Pacific Gas & Electric maintained.

Pacific Gas & Electric in the 1940s and 1950s established a natural gas transmission sys-tem that ran from the oil

and gas fields of western Texas and New Mexico, across Arizona and then into California to power plants and customers be-tween Bakersfield and the Oregon border whose numbers would eventu-ally reach 4.2 million. Pacific Gas & Electric established a network of eight compressor sta-tions linked by 40,000 miles of distribution pipelines and over 6,000 miles of transportation pipelines to get the natu-

ral gas to its various des-tinations. Until 1966, the company used hexava-lent chromium, also re-ferred to as chromium 6, as a rust suppressor it the cooling towers for those compressor stations.

Pacific Gas & Electric disposed of that chro-mium 6-laced water in unlined trenches near those stations. This re-sulted in the chromium 6, now recognized as be-ing highly toxic, leach-ing into the soil

In abbreviated hear-ings in the Colonies Lawsuit Settlement Pub-lic Corruption Trial this week, a former sheriff’s deputy who was a self-described friend of one of the defendants provid-ed a tangle of contradic-tory statements that both advanced and hindered the prosecution while simultaneously hurting and helping his friend’s

defense.Steven Hauer, who at

the age of 53 is a year younger than Colonies criminal case defendant Jim Erwin, joined the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department in the same time frame as did Erwin. Just prior to his having become a deputy, Erwin worked as a financial planner and adviser. Shortly after

Erwin became a deputy, he was elected to serve as the sheriff’s deputies’ union treasurer. Sub-sequently he would be-come union president.

Hauer testified he met Erwin relatively early in their respective careers as deputies and that he and Erwin had been friends for more than twenty years. He fur-ther testified that he had

been recruited by Erwin, who was active in rais-ing money for then-San Bernardino City Coun-cilman Neil Derry in his campaign for Third District San Bernardino County Supervisor in 2008, to assist in the Derry campaign, pri-marily by posting cam-paign signs.

Hauer’s father, who owned a metal fabricat-

ing business in San Ber-nardino, agreed to make a donation to Derry’s campaign. Hauer testi-fied that Erwin arranged for his father to donate half of that money in-tended for Derry directly to the Derry campaign and the other half to Erwin’s political action committee, the Commit-tee for Effective Govern-ment. “There

was never actuated. In-dustry’s investment was based on other water-re-lated operations, includ-ing making it the desti-nation for treated sewage water generated by the Los Angeles County Sanitation Authority, the further treatment of that water on the site and its blending with other available water sources for sale to industrial users or local munici-palities for irrigation or landscaping purposes.

In 2000, Industry of-ficials began to publicly discuss creating a net-work of reservoirs to-taling 275,000 acre-feet on the property, which would have been equal in size to the seventh larg-est water storage facility in all of Southern Cali-fornia. Some of those reservoirs would have been on Tres Hermanos Ranch and some would have gone onto adjoining land then owned by the Boy Scouts of America, the 2,500-acre Firestone

Boy Scout Reservation. Signaling it was seri-ous about the concept, Industry, through its redevelopment agency, purchased the Firestone Boy Scout Reservation for $16.5 million in 2001.

Those plans, however, ran head on into howls of protest from – coupled with legal action by – environmentalists as well as the City of Brea, which demanded that ex-haustive environmental studies on the reservoir proposal be carried out before any applications were made. The courts did not require the filing of those reports, ruling that they would not be necessary until a formal application for approval of such a project was filed. Nevertheless, the resistance halted Indus-try’s stampede toward undertaking the reser-voir project.

In the meantime, In-dustry officials were con-tent to allow the property to abide as rustic, indeed idyllic, open space with-in the larger context of encroaching civilization and the ever more in-tensive residential, com-mercial and industrial land uses of the region. For decades, Industry

permitted ranchers to graze their cattle there. Among those ranchers was former City of In-dustry Mayor John Fer-rero, whose herd popu-lated the pastureland and rolling hills, adding to its picturesque charm.

In 2011, the Califor-nia Legislature passed AB X1 26 and AB X1 27, which shuttered all of the state’s redevel-opment agencies, and called for the rerouting of redevelopment money to law enforcement and education efforts. A co-alition of cities fought the law, but the state Su-preme Court upheld the legislation. Thus all of the state’s 482 incorpo-rated cities and all 58 of its counties were put in the position of not only ending their redevelop-ment programs within the confines of their ju-risdictional limits, but divesting themselves of the assets held by those agencies. A protocol for doing so was established under the law, which en-tailed the creation of a successor agency to each redevelopment agency which would discharge any yet outstanding fi-nancial obligations that agency had and dispos-

ing of, subject to the ap-proval of the California Department of Finance, those assets. The dis-posal of those assets was not immediate by any means, as liquidating ev-erything the redevelop-ment agencies possessed in a forced fire sale would have resulted in properties up and down the state being sold off far below their market or intrinsic value. Many cities, Industry included, have yet to see at least some of their former re-development agencies’ assets liquidated.

Last year, a signal that something was up came when the City of Indus-try bought 800 acres of land in Tonner Canyon near Tres Hermanos Ranch and the Firestone Boy Scout Camp for $7.2 million.

That purchase came roughly a year after GH America Inc. and its partner, South Coast Communities of Irvine, tendered a $101 million offer to take Tres Her-manos Ranch off of In-dustry’s successor agen-cy’s hands.

Since that time, or maybe even before then, the City of Industry has looked like it is not above

engaging in a bit of prof-iteering. Exactly what is going on is not clear, but it appears that the City of Industry wants to make a purchase of the property from its re-development successor agency and then flip it to GH America Inc./South Coast Communities, Ed Roski of Majestic Realty, or perhaps another deep-pocketed buyer. A multi-tude of issue flow from this circumstance, not the least of which is that there is, at a minimum, a major institutional con-flict of interest at play. The successor to In-dustry’s redevelopment agency consists of In-dustry’s mayor Mark D. Radecki, and the city’s four councilmen – Cory C. Moss, Roy Haber III, Newell W. Ruggles and Abraham N. Cruz. A counterweight, a slight one, consists of the state oversight board to the successor agency, which counts among its mem-bers its chairman San-tos Kreimann, the chief deputy assessor for Los Angeles County, and Michael Gregoryk, vice president of Mt. San An-tonio College in Walnut.

Industry has a history of being riddled with political corruption of a sort so embedded into the community there is little prospect of coun-termanding it. A 12.064 square mile city, Indus-try has a mere 219 resi-dents. One of the city’s founders, James Marty Stafford, employed his status in the community and his control of city officials to orchestrate a number of questionable deals enriching himself and those in his circle.

Ultimately, one of those deals, the construction of the 660-acre, $65-mil-lion Industry Hills and Sheraton Resort, involv-ing kickbacks and bid-rigging, came to the at-tention of the FBI and the U.S. Attorney. Staf-ford and five others were indicted and they all en-tered guilty pleas to a va-riety of criminal charges in 1984 and agreed to pay $4.5 million in fines. Stafford spent three years in federal prison. Miraculously, John Fer-rero, who was the city’s first mayor elected af-ter its founding in 1957 and who remained in office an astounding four decades, was never charged, despite having been installed into – and maintained in - his po-sition by Stafford. The ground charted by Staf-ford and Ferrero was covered by one of Fer-rero’s successors, David Perez, who would use his position as a coun-cilman and then mayor to steer more than $326 million in city contracts to his family over a pe-riod of two decades. Part of the formula for carry-ing this off included the city employing a woman as the city’s finance di-rector who routinely would show up for work at 11 a.m., go to lunch at noon and then return to work at 1 p.m., and then go home at 1:15 p.m. In return for the cushy as-signment, she would provide no oversight of the contracts going to Perez’s family business-es, rubber stamping ev-erything. Perez proved every bit as slippery

Observations from a Decidedly Continental Perspective

Inspector Gen-eral’s Audit Finds Problems With VVWRA’s Use Of Federal Funds from front page

federal mandate that ac-companied the provision of the money. The federal government requires that records be kept catalog-ing the performance cri-teria of a project’s con-tractors, what material procurements took place and what the rationales for those purchases were. Constant change orders, the documenta-tion of and authorization for which were lacking, substantially increased the project cost.

The Office of the In-spector General has recommended that the Federal Emergency Management Agency, through which the fund-ing was applied, and the State of California catalog the $31.7 million as “costs ineligible for funding.” While the Fed-eral Emergency Man-agement Agency and state officials have pre-viously indicated con-cern pertaining to the issues taken up by the Office of the Inspector General, they have not yet made official accep-tance of the totality of the audit’s findings. The report issued last month was focused primarily on issues relating to con-tracting and accounting, while calling for further

inquiry into what was termed "misleading in-formation the authority provided to the Federal Emergency Management Agency to develop the scope of work" involved in the project. There has yet to be any documen-tation of the “misleading information” alluded to. If the Federal Emergency Management Agency ac-cepts the audit's findings in their totality, the Vic-tor Valley Wastewater Reclamation Authority – or rather its taxpaying participants consisting of water ratepayers in Victorville, Apple Val-ley, Hesperia and unin-corporated county areas served by the authority – would be required to reimburse the full $31.7 million. Before the Fed-eral Emergency Man-agement Agency makes its determination, how-ever, the Victor Valley Wastewater Reclama-tion Authority is due to provide to the Federal Emergency Management Agency its own compre-hensive and final docu-mentation of the project’s contracting and payment records, along with ex-planation of any points in mitigation it can make with regard to the audit’s conclusions. The Federal Emergency Management Agency would have the option of requiring full, partial or no restitution based on its analysis of the competing conten-tions. An appeals process would follow the Federal

Emergency Management Agency’s determination.

There has been a de-gree of tension between the Victor Valley Waste-water Reclamation Au-thority and one of the governmental entities under the aegis of which it is constituted, that be-ing Victorville. That tension revolves around the authority’s use of the funding available to it. While the Victor Valley Wastewater Reclamation Authority is a joint pow-ers agency, the four gov-ernmental entities that are involved in it do not participate equally on a financial level. Victor-ville’s contribution ac-counts for a whopping 70 percent of the author-ity’s normal operating budget, which accounts for the extreme sensitiv-ity its officials have over what they have some-times seen as profligate spending.

The Victor Valley Wastewater Reclama-tion Authority’s revenue, which is based on how much wastewater flow it receives and processes, had been reduced as a consequence of a 22-per-cent reduction in flow to the wastewater treat-ment plant since 2010, just before the mishap with the Upper Nar-rows Pipeline. Some of this is attributable to the drought conditions that persisted over that time frame. This was exac-erbated by the City of Victorville’s diversion of about a million gal-lons of wastewater flow per day, which had pre-viously been processed by the authority’s plant, to the city's own plant, resulting in the loss of revenue to the authority of roughly $900,000 per year thereafter. Victor-ville officials, beginning in 2015 and continuing into 2016, were criti-cal of the Victor Valley Wastewater Reclamation Authority's stewardship of public funds. In 2015, Victorville City Coun-cilman Jim Kennedy, who is a member of the Victor Valley Waste-water Reclamation Au-thority' board, said the authority was being too cavalier in the way it was spending money. Ken-nedy criticized the Vic-tor Valley Wastewater

Reclamation Authority's management team for not keeping a tighter rein on vendor and contractor performance, expressing discontent with the fash-ion in which the author-ity was allowing costs on the Upper Narrow’s Pipeline replacement ef-fort to escalate and then addressing the cost over-runs by doing change or-ders, of which, Kennedy said, “There are so many you can’t keep up with them.”

Kennedy’s then-council colleague Ryan McEachron lamented the Victor Valley Wastewa-ter Reclamation Author-ity's “reckless spending.”

Since 2015, the au-thority’s revenue has de-creased by more than $4 million. In the last week of July and first week of August 2016, the Vic-tor Valley Wastewater Reclamation Author-ity initiated a restructur-ing effort, laying off 13 workers, or 28 percent of its workforce.

There have been sug-gestions that as the au-thority was struggling with its recent financial challenges, it has on oc-casion robbed Peter to pay Paul, moving funds from accounts intended for one purpose to cover shortfalls in the mone-tary allotments for other programs, and engaged in deliberately dodgy or sloppy bookkeeping to keep that managerial sleight of hand on the down low. This might account for some of the discrepancies noted in the audit.

While Apple Valley and Hesperia officials have not condoned, ex-actly, the authority’s project management practices, spending or accounting, there is in-dication those munici-palities believe that Vic-torville has gone too far in its dissension and has failed to live up to its commitments in terms of utilizing the service Vic-tor Valley Wastewater Reclamation Authority provides, which has cre-ated an unnecessary fis-cal crisis at the authority.

The improperly man-aged $31.7 million al-luded to in the audit was that paid out for con-

By Count Friedrich von OlsenThis week, the Senate confirmed, narrowly, Betsy

DeVos as secretary of education. The vote of Vice President Mike Pence was needed to break the 50-50 tie, the first time in the nation’s history that a Cabinet secretary’s confirmation required a vice president’s tiebreaking vote to succeed…

As a Republican, I am heartened that our president was able to prevail with his appointment, in which two Republican senators voted with 48 Democrats/Independents to create the deadlock that Vice Presi-dent Pence had to break. Nevertheless, I am not all that enthusiastic about Ms. DeVos...

To be sure, I have some things in common with Betsy. We are both Republicans and we are both bil-lionaires, or more accurately, multi-billionaires. She has some ideas on education reform I certainly agree with. For example, neither she nor I are in the same camp with teachers’ unions, which irritatingly equate the quality of education with how much teachers are paid. She certainly has some ideas with regard to school choice that I can embrace. Nevertheless, there is one element of her approach to education - and school choice - with which I take exception: charter schools...

I will acknowledge, from the outset, that my view of charter schools may be warped by my geographi-cal location, here in San Bernardino County. The simple and sad fact is that a fairly large number of San Bernardino County’s charter schools have been run by charlatans who have exploited the students at-tending them, their parents and all the other children and parents in the districts where these schools were set up, since they tapped into money that would have otherwise have been available for legitimate educa-tion...

The most egregious example of a charter school swindle in San Bernardino County, or perhaps any-where, is that of the California Charter Academy, founded by Charles Steven Cox. After he suckered the Snowline-Joint Unified School District into es-tablishing the California Charter Academy’s first campus in 2000, he managed to expand the Califor-nia Charter Academy into the largest charter school operator in California, with dual sponsorships by Snowline and two more charter sponsorships, one from the Orange School District in Orange County, and one from the Oro Grande School District. To exploit these non-profit charter schools he simulta-neously set up Educational Administrative Services Corporation (EASC), a for-profit company which was then hired by all four charter schools to manage the day-to-day operations of the charter schools and provide academic supplies, charging inflated rates. By 2003, California Charter Academy teachers were publicly complaining that students’ educations were being neglected and books and other educational ma-terials were not being provided. In 2004, the super-intendent of the California Department of Education, Jack O’Connell, brought in an auditing firm, MGT, which eventually determined that $23 million in tax-payer money paid to the private management compa-

as Ferrero, and he was never indicted or crimi-nally charged. After he left the city and revela-tions about his depreda-tions emerged, the city in May 2015 filed a law-suit against him, his four sons and entities related to them, alleging “pub-lic corruption and per-sonal profiteering” that cost the city millions of dollars. Perez had seen what was coming well in advance, however, and he backed a slate of three challengers in the municipal election in the

month following the fil-ing of the lawsuit. A total of 97 votes were cast in June 2015 election and when the tallying was done, all three of his hand-picked candidates were chosen.

Thirteen months prior to that, GH America Inc./South Coast Communi-ties had made a $101 mil-lion offer to the succes-sor of the redevelopment agency for Tres Herma-nos Ranch, and the city seemed well on the way toward accepting that proposal. Following the June 2015 city election, with Perez’s team now in political ascendancy, the city halted all progres-sion toward that sale and came up with its own

purchase proposal. Industry’s $41 million

bid was rejected as too low by the state’s over-sight board. Undaunted, it has now come up with $59 million more, and is offering to purchase the property for $100 mil-lion. City officials have given less than a clear description of exactly what they will do with the land once they have it, saying only that the city will “explore all options” while offering vague commitments, in city manager Paul Phil-ips’ vernacular, to the ef-fect that “the land will be preserved for open space, public uses, and public facilities.”

One indication was that city officials be-lieve they can sell the property to a develop-ment company for up-wards of $150 million or, by packaging it with the 3,300 acres that in-cludes the Firestone Boy Scout Camp and its ad-joining land, unload it all for somewhere in the neighborhood of $250 million. No development interest would be willing to make the purchase, however, without an as-surance up front that the entities the new owner would need to deal with to get entitlements to build will be amenable to an aggressive develop-

ment plan. This is prob-lematic in that little more than 1,000 homes could be constructed on that portion of the property in Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties un-der current Diamond Bar and Chino Hills munici-pal zoning allowances. The relevant zoning on that portion of the prop-erty in Orange County, which lies within the City of Brea’s sphere of interest, is less clear, al-though densities of the magnitude necessary to justify a purchase in the price range Industry of-ficials are contemplating are not likely.

A growing concern is that Industry has al-ready hooked up with a so-called zerk, that is, an entity capable of deliver-ing the requisite political grease to Diamond Bar, Chino Hills and Brea officials to get the land use approvals needed to make a $250 million sale possible.

Industry has retained former Whittier state Assemblyman and state Senator Frank C. Hill III, to represent the city with regard to a number of is-sues, including the over-haul of its public utility division and in conjunc-tion with the Tres Her-manos Ranch proposal. Hill is with the consult-ing firm Cordoba Cor-poration. Hill has long

had a close relationship with the City of Indus-try, and in particular the Tres Hermanos Ranch, predating his time with Cordoba. While he was a legislator, he log-rolled legislation that removed requirements that the city develop affordable housing as part of a trade off in which the Industry Redevelopment Agency granted the Pomona Unified School District clearance to construct Diamond Ranch High School on a tract within Tres Hermanos Ranch. Hill served in the Cali-fornia State Assembly and California State Senate from 1982 until 1994. In 1994, Hill was convicted of taking a $2,500 bribe during an undercover FBI sting in exchange for his agree-ment to assist with leg-islation. He spent four years in prison.

Already under prepa-ration, the Sentinel has learned, is a plan to provide elected officials in Diamond Bar, Chi-no Hills and Brea with the political cover they need to justify massive general plan and zon-ing changes to allow the construction of upwards of 15,000 homes in and around Tonner Canyon. Part of the development proposal will entail the construction of an eight lane highway to be tout-

ed as a way to alleviate rush-hour gridlock that exists on the area’s free-ways and thoroughfares. This is to be coupled with hefty political do-nations to elected of-ficials, some of whom have ambition for higher office. Hill is to orches-trate the delivery of this largesse, which is to be provided legally in the form of political action committee donations ostensibly unconnected with the City of Industry or the development com-panies interested in Tres Hermanos Ranch.

Industry officials dis-miss objections to the city having retained Hill, saying such reservations are prissy and misplaced. Among Industry offi-cials, Hill has been pub-licly praised as someone “who gets things done.”

Chino Hills Mayor Ray Marquez told the Sentinel the current go-ings-on with regard to Tres Hermanos Ranch have caught his atten-tion.

“If the City of Indus-try is willing to pay $100 million for that property, they have some purpose in mind,” Marquez said. “I don’t know what their intention is because they won’t tell me, and that scares me.” He said any development involving

Glimpse Of SBC’s PastFontana Airport AKA Gilfillan Field

The earliest known photo of Fontana Airport is this 1948 overhead perspective.

In this photo, the B-25 Mitchell once used as a command plane by General Dwight Eisenhower which was restored by the Chino Planes of Fame Air Museum is seen overflying Gilifillan Field in the lower left corner.

Gilfillan Field, locat-ed southeast of the inter-section of South High-land Avenue & Beech Avenue, was originally known as Fontana Air-port. The airfield was a small airport which was commandeered by the Army Air Corps during World War II for train-ing purposes and was

subsequently used as an experimental station for aviation-, radar- and weapon-related equip-ment being developed by private industries with Department of Defense contracts.

Available records do not show when the air-port was constructed. An early reference to the facility exists on a 1932 LA sectional chart, on which it is represented as an airfield. On the 1934 San Diego Sectional Chart it was labeled Fon-tana Airport. In 1937, an airports directory refers

to it as Department of Commerce Intermedi-ate Field at Fontana, and was described as hav-ing a triangular sand & gravel landing area, measuring 2,640 feet by 2,227 feet. It appears to have fallen into disuse and disrepair thereafter as a 1938 aerial photo of the area does not show a

recognizable airfield and there is no reference to it on the 1939 LA Sec-tional Chart. By 1941, it is shown as an active airfield on that year's LA Sectional Chart.

During WWII the field was used as a night training field for the Cal Aero cadets. By 1945, it was not depicted at all on the 1945 San Diego Sectional Chart, but by 1950, Fontana Airport was once again regis-tered as an active air-field on the 1950 LA Sectional Chart. Anec-dotal accounts, however,

propound that the field minimally used to land planes but was rather popular with fast car en-thusiasts as a dragstrip in the very early 1950s.

By late 1952, the Gil-fillan Brothers, pioneers in the development of ground controlled ap-proach radar, through an arrangement with the government, were using Fontana Airport to carry out radar testing flight operations. A three-story range antenna test tower was constructed at the southeast corner of the field, and thousands of test flights were con-ducted to support radar testing.

Gilfillan Electric was initially involved in the refinement and pro-duction of the MPN-1 Ground Controlled Ap-proach (GCA) radar, initially developed by MIT during WW II, and Fontana Airport, which came to be known as Gilfallan Field, was used to test significant num-bers of CPN-4, MPN-11 & Quad radar systems eventually produced by Gilfillan. This testing involved aircraft mak-ing a simulated landing approach under ground radar control to the point where the aircraft was on the brink of or actu-ally did touch down so to verify or check accuracy, controllability and reac-tion of the GCA system. Owing to the relative shortness of the runway,

however, landings of large craft could not take place. Thus, planes as large as the four-R-4360-engine C-124 Globe-Masters would swoop in, recover from the decent and in very short order return to full window-rattling flying speed to get airborne in order to lift high enough to clear nearby homes east of the field and then reclimb to altitude.

Little effort to refur-bish the runway was made during this era and its condition deteriorat-ed. To some degree, the

landing strip remained active as a practice field for pilots of small craft practicing emergency and/or engine-out land-ings. By 1958, photos show the northern east/west runway marked with prominent Xs &

“Closed” on each run-way end.

Despite that, in the 1962 AOPA Airport Di-rectory, Fontana Airport, with Gilfillan Brothers, Inc, shown as the opera-tor, was listed as an ac-tive airfield with a 3,100 foot oiled runway and a 2,150 foot roadmix run-way. Fontana Gilfillian is depicted as an active private airfield on the August 1964 LA Local Aeronautical Chart and the 1965 LA Local Area aeronautical chart.

In 1964, Gilillan Elec-tric was sold off to be-

come a division of ITT. During this era, the fa-cility was being used for the .testing of missile electronics, which were flown in a Beechcraft.

The airfield was yet labeled "Fontana Gilfil-lan" Airport on the 1969

USGS topo map. By the early 1970s, the facility was no longer being used in the fashion or to the extent it had been previ-ously. Fontana Airport is shown on the September 1971 USAF Tactical Pi-lotage Chart, but this is likely an anachronistic reference brought on be-cause an older map was not updated. The last aeronautical chart depic-tion which has been lo-cated of Fontana Airport was on the August 1980 LA Terminal Aeronauti-cal Chart.

It depicted Fontana

Airport as a private air-field having 3 paved run-ways, with the longest being 3,100 feet.

Tres Hermanos Ranch would have a profound impact on Los Angeles, Orange and San Ber-nardino counties along with Diamond Bar, Brea and Chino Hills, not to mention the City of In-dustry, if the latter ends up as the purchaser. “I do care about the region as a whole, but my main concern is Chino Hills,” Marquez said. He said he had been led to believe that the City of Industry

would not be eligible to purchase the land un-less it intended to put the property to use toward some public purpose such as a solar farm or reservoirs. That there was talk of “an agree-ment behind the scenes” for the land, or a portion of it, being spun off to developers was alarm-ing, he said, all the more so since the intensity of development being contemplated would be incompatible with the standards on that portion of the property within Chino Hills. “Fifteen thousand homes is some-

thing we do not want in our community,” Mar-quez said. “Under our current zoning codes, there could be, as it is, 600 homes built there. If they were to put in some parks, they could get up to 385 more homes, but that would be it. We would not permit more than 1,000 homes total.”

If there is some move afoot to develop Tres Hermanos Ranch, Mar-quez said, the City of Chino Hills is not en-gaged in it. “We have had no dialogue with the City of Industry, or any-one from the City of In-

dustry, Mr. [Frank] Hill or whoever,” Marquez said. “That includes me or any other member of the city council, the city manager and our director of development. No de-veloper has spoken with anyone representing the city. Nobody from any-where has spoken to us about any proposed de-velopment. If they are talking to anyone in the city, I have no idea who that would be.” In fact, the mayor said, the exact opposite applies. “We have been trying to hold the City of Industry ac-countable,” Marquez

said. “I have been try-ing to get a meeting with the City of Industry city manager for almost six months. I have a meet-ing scheduled next week with the [Industry] city manager to find out what the city’s intention is so we are not surprised if there is a development proposal relating to Tres Hermanos.”

Marquez said, “My guard is up – completely up.”

Former Chino Hills Councilwoman Rossana Mitchell, who remains involved in a number of public issues in the city,

said, “The sentiment of the Chino Hills commu-nity is that there be no development in the Tres Hermanos area. The City Council of Chino Hills needs to stand by its residents and not sell us out.”

chor. In 2003, J.C. Pen-ney closed. The mall was sold in 2006. Two years later, in 2008, Lynwood-based developer Placo San Bernardino LLC, purchased a major por-tion of the mall for $23.5 million, with serious de-signs on reinvigorating it and obtaining short term financing to undertake improvements, signaling it was on a crash sched-ule to do just that. But that same year, Cinema Star shuttered its theater on the mall’s grounds. Eventually, the city in-herited the mall from

Placo. The Harris building

was acquired in 1981 by Spanish retailer El Corte Inglés, S.A. El Corte Inglés, S.A., de-spite encouragement by San Bernardino, has made no real progress in returning the landmark to its former grandeur. The J.C. Penny’s Store was acquired by the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians. The city holds title to practically all of the rest of the center.

In 2014, the city en-tered into an exclusive negotiation agreement with AECOM, the Fran-sen Company and KB Homes to redevelop the Carousel Mall com-mercially, an agreement which included a com-

mitment to intensify the adjacent Theater Square, one of the few success-fully commercial opera-tions downtown.

Vaughan Davies, a principal in AECOM, reiterated what he had told the city council in November 2015, which is that the “theater square” will be the hub around which the redevelopment of downtown will take place. “The Clifornia Theater and the Regal Cinemas are the anchor, the catalyst, the suc-cess story upon which we build,” he said. He then offered a more de-tailed preview of what he said would be the “revitalization” of San Bernardino’s central dis-trict, which is little more than a stone’s throw

from City Hall and some four blocks away from the city’s historic 1927 courthouse, the county’s main administrative building and the 11-story Law and Justice Center completed in 2014.

What will be accom-plished on the footprint now occupied by the Carousel Mall, Davies said, was something that could be compared in much of its detail to the Paseo Colorado in Pasadena or Santana Row in San Jose, He said there will be an exten-sion of existing Court Street into the new de-velopment but that the primary access to the plaza will be foot traf-fic with “no streets going through” Davies said the plaza will embody “main street elements,” which he variously referred to as a “main street format” invoking an “urban plan plaza.” He said the car-ousel that currently oc-cupies the ground floor of the existing mall will be relocated to the front of the town square por-tion of the project.

The initial effort in 2017 will focus, Davies said, on leveraging the success of the adjacent Regal Cinemas and California Theatre, and utilizing their regional drawing power to bring in restaurant and third party developers. This will be coupled with, Davies said, establishing town square street lights, utilities, signage and the extension of Third Street as a paseo, i.e. walkway.

The project will not go to an elevation higher than two stories, so to not detract from the visual prominence of the Cali-fornia Theatre, accord-ing to Davies. The intent is to court restaurants or food operations dealing in coffee, sandwiches, burgers, wings, Chinese food, pizza, tacos, fish tacos, ice cream, fro-zen yogurt or custard, smoothies and juice, sal-ads or candy as well as an ATM or mini-branch of a bank at the ground level, he said. The sec-ond level would best be suited for, he said, cul-tural facilities such as museum, creative office space, a dance, exercise or Yoga studio or what he referred to as “flex space.”

In 2018, Davies said, it is hoped that lofts might be constructed, consisting of 60 units of apartments that would “wrap” the building and be placed in front of the existing garage.

At that point, Davies intimated, enough rev-enue is anticipated such that it will defray the cost of the demolition of the existing mall. Retail units would emerge as an element of the project at this point, he said

In 2019, Davies said it is expected that “the neighborhood will have matured enough to gen-erate neighborhood re-tail.” In 2020, the intent was, he said, to add 35,000 square feet of retail operations, 275 townhomes and a char-

ter school. The plan was to have each phase cre-ate the basis for the next phase to be funded “all the way through con-struction,” Davies said.

Adequate parking, he said, could be provided through the existing parking garage struc-tures, although as the project moves toward build-out, more parking would be needed on the peak usage day of Satur-day, he said.

Councilman Fred Shorett said that “This is not a pipe dream,” sig-naling his belief that it would progress toward completion in the fashion that Davies had laid out, which he said achieved fortuitous “timing, with the city coming out of the bankruptcy [which the city entered into in 2012]. I trust you guys implicitly to move for-ward on this project.”

Councilwoman Bes-sine Richards noted that as a child she had wit-nessed the development of the Carousel Mall. “I was excited to see it come and now I am ex-cited to see it will be de-molished.”

When he was asked how much that demo-lition would cost, the city’s development direc-tor, Mark Persico, said he could not be certain because of the presence of asbestos in the struc-ture. “Asbestos issues are very expensive,” he said. He said the mall’s existing tenants will be moved out by the end of June.

David Wylie, the spokesman for the Vic-tor Valley Wastewater Reclamation Authority’s spokesman, said, “The Victor Valley Waste-water Reclamation Au-thority has received the preliminary recommen-dations by the Office of the Inspector General in connection with its au-dit of the project to re-

build the Victor Valley Wastewater Reclama-tion Authority’s pipeline which was washed out by the Mojave River dur-ing a flood on December 26, 2010. The pipeline dated back to 1982 and was originally built in the Mojave River. As a result of the rupture, 42 million gallons of sew-age were spilled into the Mojave River. Several options were considered to replace the pipeline and, after extensive en-gineering studies, it was determined that the most efficient, cost effective and environmentally friendly option was to tunnel under the Mojave River and avoid another

potential spill. The Vic-tor Valley Wastewater Reclamation Authority is disappointed by the current Office of the In-spector General’s rec-ommendations, in part because the Office of the Inspector General seems to have issued its rec-ommendations without reviewing Victor Valley Wastewater Reclamation Authority’s response to previous comments and questions by the Office of the Inspector General almost a year ago. In-deed, the Victor Valley Wastewater Reclamation Authority has previously responded in detail to the concerns raised by the Office of the Inspec-

tor General, undertaking a lengthy audit process and providing substan-tial legal authority and documentation as to why the Victor Valley Waste-water Reclamation Au-thority believes that the findings by the Office of the Inspector General are incorrect. In its cur-rent findings, the Office of the Inspector General has primarily focused on a single engineering con-tract worth approximate-ly $1.3 million dollars out of a Federal Emergency Management Agency-funded emergency proj-ect worth over $30 mil-lion dollars. It is worth noting that throughout this project, the Vic-

tor Valley Wastewater Reclamation Authority reported to the Califor-nia Office of Emergency Services, which was the agency that worked closely with Federal Emergency Management Agency in granting and administering the Feder-al Emergency Manage-ment Agency funds for this project. The Vic-tor Valley Wastewater Reclamation Authority is nevertheless prepared to keep working closely with Federal Emergency

Management Agency and the California Office of Emergency Services in reviewing the Office of the Inspector Gen-eral’s recommendations and addressing them.”

Don Holland, the pol-icy advisor to Supervisor Robert Lovingood, in whose First District the Victor Valley Wastewa-ter Reclamation Author-ity functions, told the Sentinel, “Supervisor Lovingood has no com-ment.”


Hexavalent Chro-mium Clean-up In Needles from front page and groundwater.

On January 31 the Department of Toxic Substance Control pre-viewed and summarized what is called the “Draft Subsequent Environ-mental Impact Report for the Draft Pacific Gas & Electric Topock Compressor Station Fi-nal Groundwater Re-mediation Project, also known as the “draft environmental impact report.” State officials heard comments from the public with regard to the planned clean-up project of the so-called “Bat Cave Wash” Chro-mium 6 plume. Bat Cave Wash is a drainage area subject to intermittent desert flash floods which issue out of the moun-tain slopes alongside of Pacific Gas & Electric’s compressor station adja-cent to the Interstate 40 bridge crossing over the Colorado River south of Needles into Arizona.

Roughly 30 people were present, one third of whom appeared to be either California De-partment of Toxics Sub-stance Control staff or Pacific Gas & Electric representatives. An-other third appeared to be members or repre-sentatives of the local Native American tribal authorities. The 47-day public comment period opened on January 12, 2017 and will close on February 27, 2017, dur-ing which time written comment may be filed. The hearing was held for the purpose of receiving oral comments. Public

comments will be taken into consideration by Karen Baker, California Department of Toxics Substance Control dep-uty director, who will make all decisions with regard to the project go-ing forward and any pub-lic requests to extend the review period.

The plan to remedi-ate groundwater has the objective of reducing the mass, toxicity, mobility volume and concentra-tion of the hexavalent chromium plume. One of the treatment tech-nologies to be used is a method to treat ground-water in place with a degradable food-grade organic compound (“eth-anol”) as opposed to pumping and circulating water through a separate above ground treatment plant. The treatment in-volves an in-place recir-culation flushing system using injection and ex-traction wells, pipes, and dams, and is billed as a method of reducing and converting hexavalent chromium to a “rela-tively insoluble trivalent chromium form.“ Us-ing an ethanol additive purposed to be injected into newly constructed wells, then flushing the groundwater towards the river where extraction wells would siphon and recycle the water back to the injection wells, representatives of the California Department of Toxics Substance Control appeared confi-dent in their presentation that their plan will work. The stated remedy as-serts that the reduced chromium would precip-itate or become adsorbed onto soils below the wa-ter table and thereby be

removed from ground-water.

To questions posed after the meeting, the California Department of Toxics Substance Control project manager Aaron Yue acknowl-edged to the Sentinel that the flushing system has the downside of us-ing clean water. Clean water would be mixed with and would dilute the foul water. The clean water would come from the extraction wells ad-jacent to the Colorado River that have a pur-pose of drawing up the converted groundwa-ter but would also draw surrounding river water as well. “Fresh” water would also be hauled in from an arsenic-laced source on the Arizona side of the adjacent river. The plan design calls for filtering the arsenic from the Arizona water before injecting it into Califor-nia wells.

The draft environ-mental impact report was prepared to conform with the California Envi-ronmental Quality Act. Both the plan and the project are funded by Pa-cific Gas & Electric. The document describes the proposed project, includ-ing the area of potential impact, environmental setting, the anticipated impact upon that setting, and any proposed impact alleviation measures that are planned or built into the project design. The California Environmen-tal Quality Act requires supplemental documen-tation when there are known changes to the environment, since the original impact assess-ment was completed or when required by law

due to a prescribed time lapse between the as-sessment completion and the commencement date of the project. The sup-plemental requirement is to protect the public out of concern that environ-mental considerations have changed or condi-tions in the environment emerge that had not been taken into consideration previously.

New information is available since what was previously billed as the final “Environmen-tal Impact Report” and “groundwater remedy” plan was put forth in 2011 with regard to im-pacts upon air quality, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality biological resources, utilities, ser-vice systems and energy, water supply, aesthetics, noise and cultural re-sources. The report as-serts that there will be less than a significant impact after mitigation in all of these areas ex-cept in the area of the last three, aesthetics, noise and cultural resources, where there will be a sig-nificant and unavoidable as well as a cumulative impact as a result of proj-ect implementation.

During the pre-sentation, the project manager, Aaron Yue, added that the City of Needles will not be im-pacted, which statement prompted an immedi-ate reaction from those in attendance, followed by assertions that the city and its citizens had certainly been damaged and suffered from the ef-fects of the dumping by Pacific Gas & Electric. In the early 1990s it was learned that Pacific Gas & Electric had disposed of chromium in the city landfill. The landfill is now shut down, forc-ing the community to have its waste hauled to Arizona and leaving the residents without a place to dispose of even their organic debris, branches and limbs. In response to an inquiry as to why the California Depart-ment of Toxics Substance Control was not requir-ing Pacific Gas & Elec-tric to compensate the community for its loss, Yue replied that moni-

toring wells had been in-stalled at the landfill but that no chromium plume had been detected there and that any other issues with regard to compen-sation for the closure is beyond the scope of the current project.

At the hearing a pow-er point presentation was narrated by various staff members of California Department of Toxics Substance Control be-fore public comments were allowed to com-mence. Only one mem-ber of the public chose to make a statement at the hearing in Needles. It was noted that none of the Needles City Council members were present and that a major portion of the community had not received notification that the meeting was to take place.

The Sentinel has learned that there are outstanding questions with regard to the integ-rity of the environmen-tal analysis as contained within the archaeologi-cal studies carried out by the archaeological consulting firm Applied Earthworks, Inc., which failed to carry out empir-ical testing to establish the age and significance the nearby “Mystic Maze,” about the his-torical pedigree of which there is some doubt. Ap-plied Earthworks, Inc’s conclusion that the maze qualifies as prehistoric was based not on its own empirical investi-gation but on what some maintain were previous unfounded assumptions in the National Register nomination.

There were sugges-tions that Applied Earth-works had given short shrift to the significance of numerous historically valuable features in Nee-dles as part of an effort to steamroll over environ-mental considerations in its rush to comply with the agenda of the city and Caltrans in their ef-forts to obtain project or program approval. It was asserted that Applied Earthworks, Inc had shortchanged the com-munity after it had been paid to record and docu-ment potential National Register properties but failed to properly list his-

toric structures includ-ing a 3-story building over 100 years old that was constructed using an ancient Mojave Indi-an technology involving the use of arrowweed. A request was made that the California De-partment of Toxics Sub-stance Control revisit the issue of archaeological evaluation in the envi-ronmental impact report using another entity to perform the analysis.

California Depart-ment of Toxics Substance Control spokesperson Maya Akula informed the audience that no re-sponses would be pro-vided during the formal public hearing, but that staff was on hand to an-swer questions and ex-plain the project before and after the hearing.

Written comments may be mailed to Mr. Aaron Yue, Project Man-ager, Department of Tox-ic Substances Control, 5796 Corporate Avenue, Cypress, CA 90630 or emailed to [email protected]. on or before February 27, 2017.

It has been requested that the Needles City Council provide an op-portunity for the public to address the matter of California’s Depart-ment of Toxic Substanc-es Control remediation plan and environmental impact report related for the Pacific Gas & Electric hexavalent chro-mium “flushing” and dilution solution strat-egy at its February 14, 2017 meeting. Concerns expressed in the request extend to the use of arse-nic contaminated water imported from Arizona wells, the closure of the city’s landfill as a con-sequence of Pacific Gas & Electric 's chromium dumping there and po-tential adverse impacts the remediation effort as outlined in the environ-mental impact report, in-cluding the loss of tour-ism from road closures and the ending of access to the Mystic Maze.

You will be bid-ding on a lien, not on the prop-erty itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the prop-erty. 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 con-sult 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 888-988-6736 or visit this Internet Web site salestrack.tdsf.com, using the file number assigned to this case CR16-1086. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the sched-uled 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. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrect-ness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common des-ignation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a writ-ten request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale.

Erwin Associate Testifies He Had No Role In PAC At Colonies Trial from front page

were two separate funds going to two separate en-tities,” Hauer said.

The Committee for Effective Government, prosecutors allege, is among five political ac-tion committees, known by the acronym PACs, which received a total of $100,000 in cam-paign donations from the Colonies Partners development consortium in 2007. Two of those political action com-mittees, Inland Empire PAC and Conservatives for a Republican Major-ity, were controlled by Bill Postmus, who was county supervisor from 2000 to 2007 and county assessor from 2007 until 2009. Another of those PACs, San Bernardino County Young Republi-

cans, had been founded by then-supervisor Paul Biane’s chief of staff, Matt Brown, but, ac-cording to prosecutors, was secretly controlled by Biane. Another, Al-liance for Ethical Gov-ernment, was created by then-supervisor Gary Ovitt’s chief of staff, Mark Kirk.

After four years of lit-igation between the Col-onies Partners and the county relating to flood control issues at the Colonies at San Antonio residential and Colonies Crossroads commercial subdivisions in Upland, Postmus, Biane and Ovitt voted in November 2006 to have the county confer $102 million on the Colonies Partners to settle that lawsuit. Between March and June of 2007, Colonies Partners co-managing principals Dan Richards and Jeff Burum wrote two separate $50,000 checks to the political action committees con-

trolled by Postmus; a $100,000 check to the PAC controlled by Kirk; a $100,000 check to the San Bernardino Coun-ty Young Republicans PAC operated by Brown and, which prosecutors say, was under Biane’s control; and a $100,000 check to Erwin’s Com-mittee for Effective Gov-ernment. Prosecutors maintain those checks, in the cases of Postmus, Biane and Kirk were bribes, and in the case of the one provided to Erwin, a reward for his effort in the months run-ning up to the settlement to threaten, intimidate and blackmail Postmus and Biane into support-ing the lawsuit settle-ment. Prosecutors allege the $100,000 provided to Kirk’s PAC was a kickback for having in-fluenced Ovitt’s vote in favor of the settlement. In the current trial, which revolves around allegations of bribery and extortion, Burum,

Erwin, Biane and Kirk are charged. Postmus previously pleaded guilty to a raft of politi-cal corruption charges and has turned state’s evidence, agreeing to testify against the others in exchange for leniency in his sentencing. His testimony, which has yet to come, is anticipated as the linchpin of the entire trial.

Aided by Hauer’s pre-vious testimony before two grand juries in 2009 and 2011 together with statements he had pro-vided to district attor-ney’s office investigators in the same time frame, Supervising Assistant California Attorney General Melissa Mandel questioned Hauer about his involvement, or lack thereof, in Erwin’s PAC, which was created in March of 2007. .Before the grand juries, Hauer had testified that he had no awareness whatsoev-er that he was identified as the executive director

on Erwin’s Committee for Effective Govern-ment PAC in its charter-ing documents filed with the California Secretary of State’s office and the California Fair Political Practices Commission. To Mandel’s precisely worded questions, Hauer acknowledged that he had not known he was represented as being the executive director for Erwin’s PAC, or of his name being signed to the PAC’s chartering docu-ment and bylaws. He said he had never seen the PAC’s bylaws and that he never attended any meet-ings of the PAC’s board.

A difficulty in ques-tioning Hauer that Man-del had to overcome was what Hauer acknowl-edged to her in response to one of her questions, which is that he and Er-win are yet friends. In response to several of her questions and partic-ularly in response to dif-ferently angled questions from Erwin’s defense

attorney, Raj Maline, Hauer gave indication of his skepticism, in gen-eral, over the validity of the overall assumption of guilt being propound-ed by the prosecution against Erwin, and, spe-cifically, the intellectual honesty of the district attorney’s office investi-gators in the manner in which they had carried out their inquiries and framed questions.

This was illustrated by the competing pros-ecution and defense nar-ratives carried out during the questioning of Hauer with regards to what was perhaps the most crucial evidence brought to fo-cus during his time on the witness stand – an internal Committee for Effective Government memo ostensibly from Hauer to the PAC’s trea-surer/bookkeeper bear-ing Hauer’s signature, authorizing a $5,000 payment from the PAC to Erwin for consulting

services.“This memo is to con-

firm approval of pay-ment of the attached in-voice from Jim Erwin,” the memo reads.

Hauer testified that he had not signed the memo. Thus, in her direct ex-amination, Mandel ap-peared to have inflicted considerable damage on

Erwin, undergirding, at least as far as Erwin is concerned, the pros-ecution theory that the political action commit-tees controlled by the defendants were shams and intended to not only launder the bribe money provided by the Colonies Partners but deliver that money to the ultimate in-tended recipients.

Maline, however, sought to blunt that thrust by suggesting through his questioning that Erwin had overrid-den an accusation of far

more sinister action, the forging of Hauer’s sig-nature not on a memo-randum but rather on a check.

Maline prompted Hauer to acknowledge that he and Erwin were in some fashion politi-cally intertwined. After the 2008 Derry cam-paign succeeded, Derry hired Erwin as his chief of staff and Erwin then prevailed upon Derry to hire Hauer to perform constituent services for his office in the Third District’s mountain

communities. Hauer thus grew to be part of the Derry/Erwin politi-cal team. Indeed, Hauer testified, when after Er-win’s 2009 arrest in the aftermath of the scandal that had beset Postmus and the assessor’s office, Hauer was promoted to the position of Derry’s deputy chief of staff.

In his cross-exami-nation of Hauer, Maline elicited from the witness that as a former law en-forcement professional steeped in that culture, he was very concerned

about the tenor and di-rection of the district attorney’s office’s inves-tigation and was even concerned that he might himself be arrested.

“From my back-ground it felt intimidat-ing,” Hauer said.

“Were you afraid you were going to be arrest-ed?” Maline asked.

“I was feeling very uncomfortable with the way things were be-ing handled,” Hauer re-sponded.

Asked what it was like being interviewed by district attorney’s of-

fice investigator Hollis Randalls, Hauer said, “It was very intimidating.”

Artfully, weaving in-nuendo into his ques-tions that Mandel was only partially successful in challenging through objections, Maline sug-gested that Hauer’s state-ments to district attor-ney’s office investigators that reflected poorly on Erwin might have been induced from him be-cause of his fear that if he resisted their line of questioning or the prem-

ises contained in those questions that they might arrest or charge him or both, and he was thus telling the investigators what they wanted to hear. To a degree, Hauer abet-ted Maline in this depic-tion with his answers that confirmed that line of rationale, even with its ironic implication that Hauer was at one point a professional practitioner of the same coercive in-terrogative technique.

Maline asked Hauer if Erwin “is still very much a trusted friend of yours?”

“Yes,” Hauer respond-ed. When Maline asked if he was trustworthy, Hauer replied, “I’ve nev-er known him not to be.” Hauer said that when Erwin was arrested and jailed, he offered to put up his bail.

Maline’s at least par-tially successful effort to convert Hauer into a defense witness brought Mandel roaring back

during her redirect ques-tioning. In a demanding tone, she asked, “Did you come to the DA’s of-fice with an offer to pro-vide information against Mr. Erwin?”

Hauer attempted to move away from the question. “Not entirely,” he said.

“Didn’t you tell them [the investiga-tors] ‘I was extremely upset’?”Mandel asked.

After some hesitation, Hauer answered “Yeah, I was upset.”

Weren’t you upset Mr. Erwin had written your name on a crucial docu-ment without your per-mission?” Mandel asked.

“Yeah, I was upset,” Hauer conceded.

“Do you remember telling them you were in contact with Mr. Erwin because you wanted to keep your eye on him be-cause he was using your name?” Mandel asked.

“I remember very little of that interview,” Hauer said.

With regard to his having made such an of-fer to the investigators, Hauer suggested he had done so as a ploy to see if they were targeting him

as a suspect. “I wanted to gain as much as to give them,” he said.

To overcome Hauer’s difficulty in recollecting his statements, Mandell provided him with pas-sages from the tran-scripts of his interviews with investigators, at last wringing from him the concession that he had expressed concerns about Erwin’s forthright-ness.

“Do you recall a time when you were telling the district attorney’s in-vestigators you had con-fronted Mr. Erwin about your signature? Do you recall telling them Mr. Erwin had not denied it when you asked about him signing your name?” she asked.

“I confronted Mr. Erwin,” Hauer then re-called. “I had brought it up in a conversation and I basically confronted him. He said, ‘Don’t you remember? We dis-cussed this.’ And I said, ‘No, I wouldn’t have been involved in such a thing.’ I was extremely upset about that scenar-io.”

Mandel then asked Hauer to “Explain why

you decided to continue a relationship with Mr. Erwin even though you were extremely upset.”

Hauer acknowledged he had come to the inves-tigators as someone who had access to Erwin and had his confidence and that he “could get to the bottom of this and offer information.” Randalls, however, spurned using Hauer in that way, Hauer testified. “He made it clear I was not to be an agent of him in any way or form and I understood that,” Hauer said.

In a mini-tour-de-force of defensive dam-age control, Maline started out by retracing the testimony Mandel had elicited from Hauer, getting the witness to ac-knowledge that he had told the investigators that he had been “the victim of a crime” and that “I was pretty upset.” Ma-line then sought to disas-semble the crime.

“You were upset be-cause you thought Mr. Erwin had signed your name on a check?” Ma-line asked.

“I believe so,” said Hauer.

But Maline asserted

that there was no fraudu-lently signed check, sug-gesting the signature had no significance. Maline stated. “It was some dopey piece of paper that doesn’t mean any-thing. When you found it was just that piece of paper your signature was on, did you then resume your relationship with Mr. Erwin?” he asked

“I don’t know that was the reason,” said Hauer. Nevertheless, he acknowledged, he had resumed his friendship with Erwin thereafter.

At one point, Maline did provoke a statement from Hauer that was of some assistance to the prosecution.

“Did Mr. Erwin tell you about his PAC?” Maline asked.

Hauer, who was sup-posed to be in charge of the political action com-mittee, responded, “No.”

In his testimony with regard to Erwin’s PAC, Hauer reiterated a theme brought out in the testi-mony of others relating to the PACs established by Postmus, Kirk and Biane, in which some of those witnesses said they too had been unknow-

ingly listed as officers with those political ac-tion committees or were involved with the PACS in such a way that Post-mus, Biane and Kirk’s control or connection to those committees was hidden or obscured.

To a substantial de-gree, Hauer’s answers varied based upon whether he was being questioned by Mandel or Maline. While his testimony by extension impacts defendants Bu-rum, Biane and Kirk, it had the most direct im-pact with regard to that portion of the case being prosecuted against Er-win.

Hauer’s testimony on Tuesday was followed by questioning of former assistant district attorney Clyde Boyd by both law-yers and Judge Michael Smith outside the pres-ence of the jury. Tues-day’s testimony was the only courtroom activity in the case this week, as Judge Smith was ab-sent due to illness on the remaining days of the week.


Citizen Scientists Are Needed To Count Bald EaglesCounty Wildlife CornerThe Count...

from page 3

Citizen Scientists are needed to help count bald eagles in the annual winter bald eagle counts in and near the San Ber-nardino and San Jacinto Mountains. Participants in December’s count ob-served a total of eleven bald eagles. As winter storms hit northern ar-eas and more bald eagles migrate to southern Cali-fornia, the January count will likely include more eagles. Concurrent bald eagle counts are held at Big Bear Lake, Lake Ar-rowhead, Lake Silver-wood, Lake Perris, and Lake Hemet. Some of these sites have held win-ter counts since 1978!

Counting eagles is fun, easy, and only takes a couple of hours. Par-ticipants meet at 8:00 or 8:30 for a brief ori-entation, coordination, and instructions. Par-ticipants are stationed at vantage points around the lakes, where they watch for bald eagles from 9:00 to 10:00 am. During that time, partic-ipants record their obser-vations on maps and data sheets. At 10:00, partici-pants return to the meet-ing location to report their findings. This is a wonderful opportunity

to catch a glimpse of our breath-taking national symbol.

A total of four bald eagles were observed during the January counts at Lake Perris, Lake Hemet, and Sil-verwood Lake. Winter road conditions caused the Big Bear and Lake Arrowhead counts to be canceled. The count on February 11th at Big Bear will depend on if the large snow banks have melted enough to allow vehicles to park safely off of the roads.

The remaining bald eagle counts for this winter are scheduled for the following Saturday mornings: February 11th and March 11th. No experience is needed. Signing up ahead of time is unnecessary – just show up at the desig-nated time and location, dress warmly, bring binoculars and a watch. Meeting locations and time are listed below.

Big Bear Lake area participants meet at

8:00 a.m. at the Forest Service’s Big Bear Dis-covery Center on North Shore Drive for orienta-tion. Contact Robin Elia-son ([email protected] or 909-382-2832) for more information. Please call 909-382-2832 for cancellation due to winter weather condi-tions. If the count has to be canceled due to mountain road/winter conditions, an outgoing message will be left by 6:30 am on the morning of the count. Contact the Discovery Center (909-382-2790) for informa-tion about Eagle Cele-brations. There will also be a free slideshow about bald eagles at 11:00 after the counts.

Lake Arrowhead/Lake Gregory partici-pants meet at 8:00 a.m. at the Skyforest Ranger Station for orientation. Contact Robin Eliason ([email protected] or 909-382-2832) for more information. Please call 909-382-2832 for can-cellation due to winter

weather conditions. If the count has to be can-celed due to mountain road/winter conditions, an outgoing message will be left by 6:30 am on the morning of the count.

Silverwood Lake State Recreation Area participants should plan to meet at the Visi-tor Center at 8:00 a.m. for orientation. Con-tact Kathy Williams or Mark Wright for more information about vol-unteering or taking an eagle tour (760-389-2303 between 8:00 and 4:00; or email: [email protected]).

Lake Hemet par-ticipants should plan on meeting at the Lake Hemet Grocery Store at 8:30 a.m. for orientation. Contact Ann Bowers ([email protected] or 909-382-2935) for more information.

Lake Perris State Recreation Area par-ticipants should plan to meet at the Lake Perris Regional Indian Mu-seum at 8:00 for orien-tation. For more infor-mation call Lake Perris SRA at 951-940-5600 or the Lake Perris Regional Indian Museum at 951-940-5657.

ny Educational Admin-istrative Services Corporation was misap-propriated, with dozens of Cox’s family members and friends having been hired into what were essentially do-nothing clerical and non-pro-ductive administrative positions. Millions upon millions of dollars went to non-education related expenditures, unless you happen to believe that luxury automobiles, boats, accommodations in Las Vegas and at Dis-neyland and the Disney-land Hotel, studio musi-cal recording equipment, spa visits, fishing trips and jet skis are some-how related to educa-tion. Ultimately, 147 yet outstanding criminal charges against Cox and his associate, Tad Hon-eycutt, who set up two shell corporations simi-lar to EASC to get in the action, were filed by the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Of-fice in 2007. That case has yet to go to trial…

Two years later, Cox was back, and in con-junction with former [and later indicted and convicted] San Ber-nardino County Asses-sor Bill Postmus, then-Hesperia School District board member Anthony Riley, Peggy Baker (Cox’s sister-in-law), then-San Bernardino County Supervisor Brad Mitzelfelt, Mitzelfelt’s field representative Jes-sie Flores, indicted [and later convicted] former assistant assessor Adam Aleman and indicted lo-cal businessman John “Dino” DeFazio, he set up the Adelanto Charter Academy in 2009, get-ting its sponsoring char-ter from the Adelanto School District. They then set up two for-profit corporations, Educa-tional Development, Inc. and Professional Charter Management, Inc., with which they looted the charter school operation seven ways from Sunday until in May 2011, when the Adelanto School District revoked Adel-anto Charter Academy’s charter. They then filed two sets of appeals on

that revocation to the county superintendent of schools and then the California Department of Education. When those entities similarly refused to let the acad-emy continue, they shut the operation down. This time, instead of making off with $23 million, Cox and his confederates were able to line their pockets or endow their bank accounts with just $3.1 million…

In the Chino Valley Unified School District, Sue Roach, an award winning and respected educator and the prin-cipal of that district’s best performing school, in 2010 was entrusted with $3 million of the district’s revenue to create Oxford Prepara-tory Academy. Roach had spectacular suc-cess with her academic formula, which heavily relied upon parent par-ticipation, converting Oxford Preparatory into the highest performing school in San Bernardino County in terms of stu-dent scores on state stan-dardized tests. In time, however, Ms. Roach sought to cash in. Taking a leaf out of Cox’s book, Ms. Roach created her own for-profit company, Edlighten Learning So-lutions, which then was given a contract to serve as Oxford Academy’s “charter management organization,” which called for ten percent of Oxford’s revenues to be diverted to Edlighten for that service. Between January 2013 and June 2016, Oxford Prepara-tory paid Edlighten $4.2 million. After the Chino Valley Unified School District took stock of what occurred last year, it refused to renew Ox-ford’s charter, and the academy is now flitting from educational agency to educational agency, including the county su-perintendent of schools and the California De-partment of Education, all of which have so far turned it down in its at-tempt to stay in opera-tion beyond May 2017...

In March 2015, Ex-celsior Charter Schools made an ugly public dis-play when it conferred severance packages upon

former superintendent Bill Flynn and former assistant superintendent of student services Me-linda Stackelhouse. Un-official reports were that the severance packages Flynn and Stackelhouse received were $635,000 and $298,000 respective-ly when they made their departure from Excelsior the previous month. Ex-celsior is chartered under the authority of the Vic-tor Valley Union High School District, serving students in grades seven to twelve. It consists of five schools, two in Vic-torville and one each in Phelan and Barstow as well as in Norco in Riv-erside County. On Feb-ruary 19, 2015 Flynn and Stackelhouse resigned, but no indication was given as to why. Their lawyer maintained they were due the remaining

amount under the nearly four years unexpired in Flynn’s contract and the nearly two years remain-ing in Stackelhouse’s contract...

On November 30, 2015, the Adelanto School District’s board of trustees, in support of Superintendent Edwin Gomez’s recommenda-tion, voted unanimously to deny Debra Tarver’s application for the char-ter renewal of the school that had been installed two years previously at Desert Trails Elemen-tary School following a “parent trigger” takeover there. Debra Tarver, the owner/operator/progeni-tor of the LaVerne Pre-paratory Academy, came in to serve as the “di-rector” at Desert Trails, which underwent a name change to Desert Trails Preparatory Academy.

Superintendent Gomez cited “flaws” in the way Desert Trails Prep was being operated, includ-ing a lack of academic achievement, inadequate academic testing and action bordering on or crossing into the arena of a financial conflict of interest, when Tarver shifted governance to Ed Broker’s Educational Services, a company which Tarver owns. The district cited Ed Broker’s Educational Services as being the governing corporation for LaVerne Elementary Preparatory Academy, founded and also owned by Tarver, located in Hesperia. Tarver received a sal-ary of $100,000 per year from Desert Trails to serve as the School’s CEO/executive director while she was devoting a third of her time to Des-

ert Trails Preparatory Academy, a third of her time to LaVerne Elemen-tary Preparatory Acad-emy and another third of her time to the LaVerne Academy’s corporate function...

Last summer, 13 months after Jared Me-cham, the founder and former director of Hope Academy, resigned as di-rector on April 14, 2015, state auditors found what they say is evidence that Meecham exploited the trust of the parents of students in the Morongo Valley Unified School District, which had sponsored Hope’s char-ter, by misappropriating more than $900,000 in public money. Red flags had been raised from the outset, when Hope Academy commenced operations during the Continued on Page 20

2011-12 fiscal year as “a non-classroom-based learning environment” serving students in the Morongo Basin, revolv-ing around a resource center which opened in

Yucca Valley in August 2011. Once comfortably established, Hope Acad-emy expanded opera-tions in several adjacent counties and districts located in San Bernardi-no, Kern and Riverside counties without the dis-trict’s express permis-sion or knowledge, de-

spite a requirement that any proposed expansion for a new independent study resource center outside the district’s boundaries would be ex-plicitly communicated to the Morongo Valley Dis-trict. In addition to the money Meecham made off with, auditors also came across multiple fis-cal irregularities, ques-tionable expenditures, nepotistic arrangements and inappropriate relat-ed-party transactions at the charter school…

I was not a product of the American public school system myself. Until I was ten years old, I was educated by my governess. My only real taste of pub-lic school was a short period when my family moved to Denmark and I was obliged to enroll in school there in what, as best as I understand it, would translate into

the American equivalent of the fifth grade. I had something of a hard go at it. By that age, I could speak four languages, but alas, Danish was not one of them, although there were enough cog-nates with German that I was able to understand every fifth or six word or so. In a few weeks I adjusted. Subsequent to that, I did a few stints in some boarding schools, two on the Continent and one in Scotland. Of course, University came later. But I digress…

The point here is, I be-lieve education is impor-tant. And while I am not enthusiastic about turn-ing the whole business over to teachers who are represented by unions that are more dedicated to the welfare of the teachers than they are to the education of stu-dents, I am also skeptical of turning the education

of our future senators and engineers and doc-tors and shipping mag-nates to self-serving ed-ucational entrepreneurs more interested in en-riching themselves than in arming the generation that will soon be com-ing into its own with the wherewithal they need to serve themselves and

others. I hope that Betsy DeVos will not neglect to reform the charter school system with the same vigor she has commit-ted to remake the public school system…

Got boots? I hope so because from the looks of everything, it has been a marching new year. Ever since I can

remember, I've been inspired by the idea of uniform dressing. Lately it also seems like wear-

ing the same thing every day can help make your morning routine easier, and also you don’t pinch

your wallet, and that makes your outfit selec-tion more appealing. I love being the go-to type with regard to an out-fit, be it a pair of jeans, simple skirt, or a simple top. It’s nice to keep your look up and get out of

feeling bored with it. It’s nice to brighten things up with a staple acces-sory, outerwear, and of course shoes. With that said, bump up your uni-form and get a feeling of new! Get a pair of boots! The combat boot is back and it will always toughen up your outfit. They come, believe it or

not, in different styles. They also aren’t just for jeans and t-shirts. Dress-

es and skirts look cool with combats. What-ever your choice may be with boots, I hope your personality is inspired to wear them, because there’s no reason not to try a new thing. And the show keeps marching on, happy February!

“When I was 15, I

wore combat boots with a fluorescent Columbia ski jacket. I was trying to find myself.” Eric Ware-heim
