MARILYN MANSON

POINTS FAKE RIFLE

At San Bernardino Concert Crowd

11/6/2017 6:52 AM PST Marilyn Manson Points Fake Rifle at San Bernardino Concert Crowd

Marilyn Manson showed a shocking lack of empathy Sunday night as he pretended to spray the crowd

with bullets from a fake semi-automatic weapon ... in a county that is still reeling from a mass shooting.

Marilyn --- in a wheelchair after a September injury that crushed his leg -- was performing at the Glen

Helen Amphitheater in San Bernardino ... the city where a terrorist killed 14 people in December 2015.

Perhaps with that in mind -- and a penchant for controversial headlines -- Marilyn pulled out the fake

rifle while performing "We Know Where You F****** Live."

A mic is attached to the scope of the rifle.

Disturbing as hell.

THINGS TO DOMUSIC + CONCERTS

Marilyn Manson goes for a shockwhile Rob Zombie, Stone Sourrock at Knotfest 2017

Shock vs. rock

Though the weather was cold, the ground was muddy and the sun was lost all day

in the clouds, it didn’t stop thousands of die-hard heavy metal and hard rock fans

from descending upon Glen Helen Amphitheater in Devore on Sunday, Nov. 5, for

Knotfest. The second half of the Ozzfest Meets Knotfest weekend was just as

crowded — if not more packed than — Ozzfest the day before.

Knotfest, curated by beloved metal band Slipknot, featured sets by Rob Zombie,

Marilyn Manson, Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor’s Stone Sour, Orange County’s

Eighteen Visions, San Diego electronic rock duo Prayers, Testament, The Black

Dahlia Murder and more.

In the 12-hours of hard rocking chaos we came up with the most memorable

moments from Knotfest 2017.

While out on tour in early October, shock rocker Marilyn Manson was injured

when his he�y double pistol stage prop fell and crushed him, breaking his right

leg in two places. Despite his very obvious medical walking boot, Manson made

his return to the stage at Knotfest, �rst in a rig that was half wheelchair, half

Segway that allowed him both to stand and sit and maneuver 360 degrees.

He addressed his injuries in between “Revelation #12” and “Disposable Teens,”

telling the crowd, “I am broken, but you can’t break me.” He performed in front of

the same props that had crushed him earlier in the year, though this time they

were probably more secure. The �ow of the set was a bit awkward and

momentum was de�nitely lost between tracks as two men in scrubs and surgical

masks would come out on stage and aid Manson into his next getup. “I don’t have

to detail how much this sucks,” he said at one point. “I’ve got a broken ankle, but

I’m still here. I’ve got one more foot to kick someone’s (expletive).”

The band breezed through “Dope Show” and the newer cut, “Deep Six.” Manson

donned a hospital gown and hopped up on a gurney for his famous cover of

“Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This).” Following that cut he was wheeled out in an

actual wheelchair by one of the men in scrubs, only this time he was wielding an

obviously fake semi automatic shotgun with a bright orange cap on the tip. His

microphone was also rigged to the gun and he sang into it as the band launched

into “We Know Where You (Expletive) Live” off of his new album, “Heaven Upside

Down.” As he delivered the song, he pointed the gun at the audience, letting the

drums serve as the rapid �re.

Slipknot’s presence

Musical meet and greets

Coming on the eve of a mass shooting at a church in Texas, Manson could have

had a bit more tact, but it’s Manson. He has always aimed for the shock value or to

be provocative and though some that were in the crowd thought it was “lame,” the

stunt didn’t seem to truly bother anyone else, especially with the handful of San

Bernardino Sheriffs standing on either side of the stage.

Where Manson was clearly out for the shock value, headliner Rob Zombie just

wanted to party and rock. And he did both.

Amid all the �ashiness of the horror-themed stage set up complete with skeletons,

monsters and more, Zombie and his mighty band — guitarist John 5, bassist Piggy

D and drummer Ginger Fish — came out fast and hard with “Dead City Radio and

the New Gods of Supertown.”

They kept pace into “Superbeast,” “In the Age of the Consecrated Vampire We All

Get High” and Zombie pumped up the crowd and encouraged the ladies to hop on

the men’s shoulders for “Living Dead Girl.”

He’s literally the coolest guy out there sporting glittery bell bottoms, a cowboy hat

and a fringe jacket.

Though the festival namesake and curator, Slipknot, did not headline Knotfest this

year, its presence was still very much felt. Lots of fans donned Slipknot T-shirts,

full-on costumes and grotesque replica masks from their favorite players in the

masked metal band. Much like the �rst year of the fest, the band members

themselves could have walked around in their full get up unnoticed since the fans

are pretty good at copying their stage costumes.

Those same fans also went wild during Stone Sour’s turn on the main stage. The

band is Slipknot vocalist Corey Taylor’s successful and more melodic side band,

one in which he performs unmasked. The guys ripped through tracks like “30, 30-

150,” “Made of Scars” and “Absolute Zero,” while Taylor slowed things down a bit

and jumped on guitar for “Through the Glass.”

Someone in the crowd obviously disapproved as in that moment they launched

either a cup or bottle of liquid at the frontman. They missed, prompting Taylor to

retort, “Aw, did you miss? I remember my �rst beer, too. Make sure to tell your

mom I said ‘hi’.”



Kilts everywhere

Metal in the Dark

Knotfest

Record store FYE set up a small pop-up record shop on site where fans could

purchase CDs and vinyl releases from Ozzfest Meets Knotfest artists for $12-$20.

The store also hosted two signing booths and early day performers, including

Prayers, Warbringer, Goatwhore, Upon a Burning Body, Exhumed and Stitched Up

Heart, logged autograph time.

Fans were stoked to be able to meet and greet with the artists, lining up early to

ensure a handshake, a quick hello and possibly a photo.

Even with the chillier temperatures, fans were wearing far more kilts on Sunday

at Knotfest than they were during Ozzfest on Saturday. Patrons checked out on-

site vendor PD Kilts and snagged brand new ones to wear throughout the day.

Despite the mud and mugginess of the early evening, they wore them proudly,

however by nightfall, a few admitted that pants may have actually been the way to

go.

Since Knotfest happened to fall on the �rst day a�er daylight saving time ended,

things got darker earlier. That fact may have slipped the mind of festival

organizers, since the side stages didn’t seem rigged for much lighting, which

meant that thrash metal band Testament was playing in darkness by the time it

took the stage at 5:40 p.m. It also didn’t help that it was an extremely overcast

a�ernoon and the clouds began to hang lower and lower as evening approached.

The fans didn’t seem to mind the metal blackout, however, as the band was

slightly uplit from the stage, adding to the edginess of the performance.

This temple in foothills aboveRancho Cucamonga could expandin the next 15 years

http://www.dailybulletin.com/author/liset-marquez/mailto:[email protected]://www.dailybulletin.com/local-news/



The Limei Fang-Ling Yen Mountain Temple in the foothills above Rancho Cucamonga

wants to grow.

The temple has submitted plans to San Bernardino County’s planning division for an

additional two dozen buildings.

At build out, “it is anticipated that the Temple will accommodate 50 to 60 full-time

residents and they hope to increase membership and the related retreat visits ve-

fold (potentially 500 members),” David Wert, spokesman for San Bernardino County,

wrote in an email.

The temple’s plan includes an 85-foot height Buddha hall and four buildings taller

than 50 feet. And has requested an exception be made in a residential zone to allow

24 buildings which would occupy 154,000 square feet over 37 aces.

According to the county’s Land Use department, the temple has proposed a long-

term master plan for expansion over a buildout period of 10 to 15 years.

“This will provide new buildings to house additional monks and nuns, as well as

guests and additional buildings for religious ceremonies, teaching, chanting and

religious studies,” Wert said via email.

The current application was submitted in 2014. The application was accepted as

complete on Oct. 17, and a notice of preparation of an Environmental Impact Report

was issued on Oct. 23, according to Wert.

Project Manager Nancy M. Ferguson of The Altum Group declined to answer

questions, and referred to a fact sheet with information regarding the Temple’s

Master Plan.

The county is planning a public meeting at 5:30 p.m. Nov. 9 at the Goldy S. Lewis

Community Center where details of the project will be presented, Ferguson said.

The timing of the application comes as Rancho Cucamonga is moving forward with a

project to annex more than 4,000 acres into its borders. Of that, the city’s proposal

would designate 2,915 acres of conservation space, which includes temple property.

Rancho Cucamonga resident Ray Grose is worried the project is being rushed.

Grose lives about a mile away, on Sagewood Drive, but never received any public

notices. He said he learned about it through the social media site Nextdoor.

“I’m not against development just as long as it’s being done in a reasonable way,” he

said.

His biggest concern is the impact this project could have to city streets since

Wardman Bullock Road is the lone street that leads to the temple.

http://www.dailybulletin.com/2017/10/27/rancho-cucamonga-residents-weigh-in-on-4000-acre-annexation-effort/



Grose said he’s heard mixed reactions from neighbors, some are opposed to the idea

while other believe the project will increase the value of property prices.

Rancho Cucamonga Planning director Candyce Burnett said the city only learned

about the application when it received notices Oct. 25 and Oct. 26. Projects in

unincorporated San Bernardino County do not have to come with advance warning

to the city.

“This is one of the reasons the city would like to get local control,” she said. “These

are the types of projects that could continue to come through under county control.”

Under the city’s vision, high development projects in the foothills would be limited

because of re danger, and the high-cost to provide re services.

Burnett said the city does not have an of cial public stance on the project because

the response is still being drafted. Typically, the city will respond to any proposal and

request that it be kept informed and be allowed to view documents.

In reviewing the documents that are available, Burnett said it appears an 85 foot

high, or eight stories, Buddha Hall is part of the proposal.

Wert said the temple must detail the impacts the development would have on the

environment. Once a draft of that environmental report is completed, it will be

released for public review, he said.

The comment period on that draft report will be 45 days. After the county reviews

and responds to all the comments on the draft report, a nal version will be prepared

and the project will be scheduled for a public hearing by the county’s Planning

Commission.

The County is receiving public comments on environmental concerns that should be

addressed in the environmental report until Nov. 27.

The comment period on the noti cation for the project proposal ended Friday, Nov.

3.

California slapping high taxes on marijuana, causing sticker shock forsome

By Associated Press

NOVEMBER 5, 2017, 3:50 PM

alifornia’s legal marijuana marketplace is coming with a kaleidoscope of new taxes and fees that could influence where it’s grown, how pot

cookies and other munchies are produced and the price tag on just about everything.

Be ready for sticker shock.

RELATED: Will high taxes allow black market in pot to thrive?

On a retail level, it costs about $35 to buy a small bag of good quality medical marijuana in Los Angeles, enough to roll five or six joints.

But in 2018, when recreational sales take hold and additional taxes kick in, the cost of that same purchase in the new market is expected to increase at the

retail counter to $50 or $60.

At the high end, that’s about a 70% jump.

RELATED: Veteran pot growers see the end of a way of life

Medical pot purchases are expected to rise in cost too, but not as steeply, industry experts say.

Or consider cannabis leaves, a sort of bottom-shelf product that comes from trimming prized plant buds. The loose, snipped leaves are typically gathered

up and processed for use in cannabis-laced foods, ointments, concentrates and candies.

Growers sell a trash bag stuffed with clippings to manufacturers for about $50. But come January, the state will tax those leaves at $44 a pound.

That means the tax payment on a bag holding 7 or 8 pounds would exceed the current market price by five or six times, forcing a huge price hike or, more

likely, rendering it essentially valueless.

“All it would become is compost,” predicted Ryan Jennemann of THC Design in Los Angeles, whose company has used the leaves to manufacture

concentrated oils.

Governments struggling to keep up with the cost of everything from worker pensions to paving streets are eager for the cascade of new tax money from

commercial pot sales that could eventually top $1 billion statewide.

But higher taxes for businesses and consumers give the state’s thriving illicit market a built-in advantage. Operators in the legal market have been urging

regulators to be aggressive about shutting down rogue operators.

Donnie Anderson, a Los Angeles medical cultivator and retailer, predicted the higher level of state taxation next year is “just going to help the illicit market

thrive.” He said more needs to be done to cut the cost, especially for medical users, many of whom won’t be able to absorb a price jump.

The increased tax rates are just one part of California’s sprawling plan to transform its long-standing medical and illegal markets into a multibillion-dollar

regulated economy, the nation’s largest legal pot shop. The reshaping of such an expansive illegal economy into a legal one hasn’t been witnessed since the

end of Prohibition in 1933.

The change has come haltingly. Many cities are unlikely to be ready by Jan. 1 to issue business licenses, which are needed to operate in the new market,

while big gaps remain in the system intended to move cannabis from the field to distribution centers, then to testing labs and eventually retail shops.

The path to legalization began last year when voters approved Proposition 64, which opened the way for recreational pot sales to adults. Medical

marijuana has been legal in California for about two decades.

Come January, state taxes will include a 15% levy on purchases of all cannabis and cannabis products, including medical pot.

Local governments are free to slap on taxes on sales and growing too, and that has created a confusing patchwork of rates that vary city to city, county to

county.

In the agricultural hub of Salinas, southeast of San Francisco, voters approved a tax that will eventually rise to $25 a square foot for space used to cultivate

the leafy plants, a rate that’s equivalent to about $1 million an acre.

But farther north, in the pot-growing mecca of Humboldt County, rates will be a comparative bargain, ranging from $1 to $3 for a square foot for

cultivation space.

By some estimates Humboldt County has up to 15,000 unregulated pot grows, and Supervisor Ryan Sundberg said he was eager to fashion a tax scheme

that would encourage cultivators to come into the legal system and adhere to environmental regulations.

11/6/2017 Daly’s cynical bill shows why public-sector abuses are rampant – San Bernardino Sun

Photo by David Becker/Getty ImagesOrange County Sheriff deputies Brandon Mundy (left) and Garrett Eggert (on the ground) assist Las Vegas police officers on the street outside theRoute 91 Harvest country music festival grounds after an active shooter was reported around the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino on October 1,2017 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

SACRAMENTO – Whenever I write about some of the absurd bene�ts and gamesmanship that �ourish within California’s public sector,

people write back in disbelief. They have no idea the many special payments and protections afforded to the state’s government employees

– the types of things that virtually no one in the private sector would expect to receive.

I’m not referring to the generous retirement plans, which allow “public safety” workers to retire at age 50 with 90 percent or more of their

�nal three years’ pay and many miscellaneous employees to retire at age 57 with 82 percent of their pay. Or the Cadillac-style medical

bene�ts.

Many people know about those things, especially given the state’s growing pension debt and the “crowding out” of public services caused

by these unsustainably costly programs. But what about the bizarre stuff that somehow has become law?

For instance, newspapers used the term “chief’s disease,” which refers to the way high-ranking California police of�cials o�en retire with a

disability – thus protecting half of their income from taxes. Disabilities have become another entitlement, whereby some normal ailments

that af�ict our aging bodies can become a drain on the public till.

Then there are the so-called “presumptions.” If, say, a�er an aged retired �re�ghter is diagnosed with cancer it’s presumed to be caused by

the job, thus opening up a storehouse of publicly funded bene�ts. There are “donning and dof�ng” rules, whereby law-enforcement

of�cials may be paid for their time putting on and taking off their uniforms. Did you know that the state’s billboard inspectors were added

in 2002 to the category of public-safety of�cials, thus enabling them to retire with the most generous pension packages?

There are myriad – and perfectly legal – pension-spiking gimmicks that, say, provide special “management pay” for managers, or give

librarians extra pay for helping library patrons, or government-employed gardeners salary boosts for working on sprinkler systems. These

are the normal part of their job descriptions, but thanks to various little-known laws these employees get to in�ate their �nal salary and

boost their lifelong pensions.

News reports are �lled with stories of public employees who receive massive payouts thanks to “Deferred Retirement Option Plans” and

overtime pay, and public agencies that are forced to rehire employees (o�en with back pay and sometimes settlements) who were accused

of behaving in a less-than-honorable manner.

How on Earth do these deals get perpetrated? Why can’t California of�cials get control of costs and waste that undermine the effectiveness

of the state’s bureaucracies?

Those are the usual questions. The simple answer is that the state’s politically powerful public-sector unions are like rust. They never sleep.

They continually push for new bene�ts – and oppose reforms to old ones – in the state Legislature and within city councils. Most of these

are approved quietly, with little media coverage and even less opposition. No one wants to go on record opposing police of�cers, teachers

or other public servants. No sane politician wants to incur their unions’ wrath come Election Day. It’s easier to give in.

But examples always are illustrative. Two weeks ago, I wrote about four Orange County deputies who had attended the Jason Aldean

concert in Las Vegas on their personal time. When the gunman began �ring on the crowd, the of�cers behaved the way many people

behaved that day. They used their policing skills to help out fellow concert-goers. Good for them.

But unlike other people who did what they could with their own training and skills, these of�cers – and some others in different Southern

California agencies – �led workers’ compensation claims with their home counties to receive additional leave and medical bene�ts

because of injuries they sustained during that horri�c event. Indeed, Tom Dominguez, president of the Orange County deputies

union, told the Orange County Register that he traveled to Las Vegas a�er the shooting and while there he encouraged deputies who helped

others to �le claims.

“If they deny the claims, then the message that they’re sending to their peace of�cers is not to take action when it is certainly warranted,”

Dominguez told the newspaper. That struck this columnist as a cynical statement, and something that could undermine the very concept

of public service.

Assemblyman Tom Daly, D-Anaheim, has since proven that cynicism isn’t reserved for union of�cials. He told the Register this week that

he plans to introduce legislation to require such compensation for off-duty of�cers involved in out-of-state crimes a�er the Orange County

Board of Supervisors denied the deputies’ claims. If passed, it would apply retroactively.

The county obviously did the right thing given that these of�cers were not on duty and were in Nevada, not California. But there’s little

doubt his measure will move through the Legislature as union-friendly Democrats and law-and-order Republicans trip over themselves to

prove their generosity with taxpayers’ funds.

And that is a primer on how these things happen. It’s time to suspend disbelief.

Congressman Paul Cook Discusses ArrowheadFlight Pathin Business, Community News, County, Environment, For Your Information, Informational, Local, MountainRegion, National, News, Politics, Safety, State, Subject, Technology, Ticker / by Michael P. Neufeld / onNovember 4, 2017 at 5:05 am /

By Congressman Paul Cook

In April of this year, something happened over Lake Arrowhead that should have never happened: a commercialaircraft flew over the lake. Unfortunately, this was the first of many flights, and for almost all of LakeArrowhead residents, this was their first “notification” of a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) projectcalled Metroplex. I strongly believe the lack of community notification and opportunity for public involvementin the Metroplex process invalidates the FAA findings and requires them to move the flight path either back toits original track or to a track that the community accepts.

The FAA Metroplex project was meant to update and maximize all the terminal flight routes into and out of allthe Los Angeles area airports, including Ontario International Airport. The goals included improved safety, fuelconservation, and decreased flight times. Planning began as early as 2011 and was supposed to includecommunity engagement along the way. Unfortunately, the FAA proved ineffective – intentionally or otherwise –in their efforts with Lake Arrowhead residents. I’ve asked the FAA to provide me all documents,correspondence, and notifications that went out to our region to figure out why they considered “communityengagement” accomplished. Thus far, I have seen no evidence that the FAA reached out directly to residentsaround Lake Arrowhead. Critical to my office, I want to know why a federal agency didn’t coordinate with me,the elected representative to the federal government, on an issue of high significance to my constituents.

11/6/2017 ROTWNEWS.com – Congressman Paul Cook Discusses Arrowhead Flight Path

http://rotwnews.com/2017/11/04/congressman-paul-cook-discusses-arrowhead-flight-path/ 2/7

We need to get to the bottom of this problem. I recently wrote a Request for Information (RFI) to the currenthead of the FAA and bluntly stated, “the residents of the unincorporated region around Lake Arrowhead werenot given adequate notification that the Metroplex changes could affect airspace over their community.” It’sobvious by the community reaction that no one would have ignored the community engagement process if theyhad truly been informed of the potential impact. I also stated my concerns over the lack of outreach by the FAAto local, state, and federal elected officials on this issue.

Moving forward, my primary goal is to get the flight paths moved away from Lake Arrowhead and to a locationwith less impact. The longer this new flight route exists, the greater the impact to our residents and the criticaltourism industry. I recently held a personal meeting with senior FAA officials to voice my displeasure and wastold the FAA is currently working on a solution. The subsequent RFI sent to the FAA encourages them to reversethe flight routes. While I’m encouraged by these actions, I also know we’re a long way from victory. I have alsoreached out to lawmakers on the Congressional House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, theorganization that authorizes funding for the FAA, to look at further options in case a resolution were the first tobring the issue to my attention, and they’ve done a great job keeping me up to date and pressuring the FAA tofind a solution. Community involvement like theirs will be essential as we move forward to fix this problem.

No one should ever have their lives and livelihoods affected by a government process that they weren’t able toparticipate in or contribute to before a decision was made. I’ll continue to push the FAA to correct this problem,and I’ll work to ensure our residents never get left out of the decision process again.

does not present itself soon [sic].

Critical to this whole effort has been the actions of the Quiet Skies Lake Arrowhead group. They were the firstto bring the issue to my attention, and they’ve done a great job keeping me up to date and pressuring the FAA tofind a solution. Community involvement like theirs will be essential as we move forward to fix this problem.

No one should ever have their lives and livelihoods affected by a government process that they weren’t able toparticipate in or contribute to before a decision was made.

11/6/2017 New details emerge for Redlands food hall project – San Bernardino Sun

http://www.sbsun.com/2017/11/04/new-details-emerge-for-redlands-food-hall-project/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter 1/5

By SANDRA EMERSON | [email protected] | Redlands Daily FactsNovember 4, 2017 at 8:00 am

Nearly a year a�er the city approved a plan to transform the Mutual Orange

Distributors Packinghouse into a modern food hall, new details emerged this

week on the design of the project.

Micro restaurants, outdoor dining experiences, a renovated 1904 trolley and a

non-functioning water tower entryway are just a few of the highlights in the

developer’s plans.

The Historic and Scenic Preservation Commission reviewed those plans

Thursday, Nov. 2, with Jerry Tessier, president of Arteco Partners Inc., the force

behind the project.

The Pomona-based �rm’s desire to build a food hall goes back more than a

decade, Tessier said, and draws inspiration from places like the Ferry Building

Marketplace in San Francisco and Pike Place Market in Seattle.

“This proposal is very much in keeping with those historical sites,” Tessier told the

commission. “They’ve become something of a trend in the last couple of years.”

New details emerge for Redlandsfood hall project

Here are some key takeaways from thepresentation:

Rendering of the proposed Redlands Packing Plant project by Arteco PartnersInc. (Courtesy)

In December 2016, the City Council, serving as the successor agency to the former

Redevelopment Agency, approved the sale of the century-old packing house at 330

N. Third St. to Arteco Partners.

This project would be Arteco’s third packing house project, a follow-up to The

Claremont Packing House and the Pomona Packing Plant.The �rm is currently

working on the Riverside Food Lab in downtown Riverside.

While the commissioners did not take any action on the project, unof�cially

called the Redlands Packing Plant, they offered feedback on the preliminary

plans.

“I’ve been watching this building for almost 20 years and I have no qualms about

anything you’re proposing,” Commissioner Nathan Gonzales told Tessier. “I think

it will be an outstanding addition to downtown Redlands.”

http://www.redlandsdailyfacts.com/2017/07/18/redlands-based-bricks-and-birch-is-coming-to-riversides-food-lab/



The project will include spaces for micro restaurants, bars and food

operators. Spaces will range from 300 to 1,000 square feet, with the average

space being around 500-square-feet. The basement will be used for storage

for the upstairs businesses as well as public restrooms.

Visitors can dine in the common dining space inside the food hall, or they

can take their meals outdoors where they can enjoy an educational garden, a

living green wall, murals as well as a smudge pot water fountain and

�replace. Diners can also eat and drink inside a renovated 1904 trolley in the

outdoor patio. The common dining area would also include a demonstration

kitchen and be used for educational classes.

Drivers and passers-by will see exposed brick, a roo�op sign, painted wall

signs, and an elevated wooden boardwalk wrapping around the building,

similar to the Claremont Packing House.

The main entry is proposed for the corner of Third Street and Shoppers

Lane, where visitors will walk up a wooden staircase to the boardwalk.

The �rm has salvaged several historical pieces they plan on incorporating

into the project, including iron railroad bridge pieces, street lights and an in-

ground scale.

A 35-foot-tall non-functioning water tower will serve as an entry monument, a

new element Tessier unveiled Thursday.

Commissioner Shan McNaughton questioned the inclusion of the water tower, but

Tessier said the addition was spurred by comments from city of�cials. While a

water tower was not previously on the historic site, there would have been one

nearby.

Meanwhile, though the project will feature on-street parking, Arteco hopes to take

advantage of shared parking lots downtown.

“We feel like enough of a destination where, as Redlands develops even more,

people are going to walk a block, two blocks or three blocks,” Tessier said.

The food hall, which is directly south of the Santa Fe Depot, would be within

walking distance of the anticipated train station parking lot.

“We do have a need for more parking within a few blocks,” Tessier said. “We are

hoping with the development of the shared municipal parking lot for the transit

center and pedestrian crossing across the train tracks, that that would be available

for our project usage.”

11/6/2017 Victorville's Measure K: What to know

http://www.vvdailypress.com/news/20171106/victorvilles-measure-k-what-to-know 1/4

By Shea Johnson Staff Writer Posted at 8:08 AMUpdated at 8:09 AM

The tax would begin being collected April 1. It amountsto $100 in taxes for every $20,000 spent on taxable items.

VICTORVILLE — Voters on Tuesday will head to the polls to decide on thecity’s Measure K.

Here’s what you need to know:

What is it?

A half-percent sales tax (technically a transactions and use tax) that will raise thecity’s current sales tax rate from 7.75 to 8.25 percent. Certain necessities of life,including food and medicine, are exempt.

The tax would begin being collected April 1. It amounts to an extra $100 in taxesfor every $20,000 spent on taxable items.

How does it pass?

A two-thirds majority vote is required.

What will it do?

According to city officials, it’s projected to raise $8.5 million yearly in revenue tosupplement General Fund dollars, and it will be earmarked specifically for publicsafety services.

The city, bound by law, vows to hire 15 San Bernardino Countyfirefighters/paramedics, at least 10 San Bernardino County Sheriff’s deputies andopen Fire Station 315 near Sunset Ridge Park, while acquiring new equipment,

training and support and setting aside funds for public safety reserves.

Why is it needed?

City officials say current tax revenues can’t keep pace with rising contract costs— largely attributed to Victorville’s agreement with the Sheriff’s Department —and that fire equipment is in need of upgrades or replacement.

Who’s for it?

The vast majority of senior city officials are behind it. The Victor ValleyChamber of Commerce also announced its support. The pro-campaign is beingfunded largely by developer groups.

Sheriff John McMahon said the department “would welcome the additionalfunding.”

Who’s against it?

Councilwoman Blanca Gomez has declared her aversion to taxes. The CountyFire union has stated it’s not sold that law enforcement won’t receive themajority of funding and it also can’t support a plan without a strongercommitment from the city.

Victorville is currently mulling options for fire services, including re-launching acity Fire Department and re-upping a contract with County Fire after thedepartment’s 10-year contract expires June 30.

The anti-campaign is organized by the Inland Empire Taxpayers Association,which has opposed the sales tax for its effect on vulnerable populations includingthe elderly and economically disadvantaged.

Who’s staying out of it?

The sheriff’s union, the Safety Employees Benefit Association, is not activelysupporting the measure, worried that it would appear self-serving.

County Fire Assistant Fire Chief Dan Mejia, who heads Victorville operations,has declined to offer support or opposition, but has extolled the virtues of apermanent, non-contractual agreement between the city and County Fire,



known as annexation.

What happens if Measure K fails?

City officials say they’ll almost certainly have to annex into County Fire’s ServiceZone FP-5. Such a move would be accompanied by a $153 yearly parcel tax onnearly 38,000 parcels in the city.

The parcel tax is subjected to a yearly 3 percent cost-of-living increase, which hasequated to $36 in extra tax since 2008 when it was only $117.

Parcel tax revenue would be collected by County Fire, which would also assumeassets and liabilities from the city including fire apparatus and facilities, as well asbe responsible for capital improvements and service expansions.

Is their voter choice in annexation?

The Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) would oversee the process,and registered voter recourse is retroactive. Fifty percent or more voterssubsequently protesting would kill the annexation, while at least 25 percent ofvoters protesting would trigger a simple majority-vote election.

If less than 25 percent of voters protest, the annexation is approved.

What’s the argument for annexation?

Mejia, the County Fire assistant chief, says it enables the department to planlong-term versus on a 10-year basis, and affords firefighters the ability to rely onresources elsewhere under the County Fire umbrella to drive costs down.

An example of this regional approach includes cohabiting fire stations.

In January, a city staff report said that annexation would result in a $3.4 millionnet benefit to the city and, that by retaining more of its property tax dollars, thecity could re-focus funds to law enforcement expenses and more.

What’s the argument against annexation?



Mayor Pro Tem Jim Cox is adamant about not giving up local control, whicheffectively the city would permanently do under annexation. City officials alsosay that Measure K is more fair than burdening only property owners — whocould raise rents — because it spreads the tax to out-of-town motorists who stopin the city, essentially requiring them to help pay for services they also use.

Hollywood actor’s Porsche crashes into gas meter, ruptures gas line

By Rhea-Frances Tetley

Just after nine p.m. on Saturday, Oct 28, a silver Porsche veered off of Highway 189 and plummeteddown an embankment and into a gas meter adjacent to Stater Brothers Market in Lake ArrowheadVillage. This sheared off the shut-off gas valve, resulting the smelly natural gas spewing into the airfor over an hour before a gas company representative could arrive to shut off the flow of gas.

Many in the vicinity at the time claimed they were suffering headaches from the flumes of mercaptan,the odorant added to the gas to help detect gas leaks. The strong smell comes from the added sulfurand, although it smells bad, like rotten eggs, is claimed by the gas company to be toxin free. Sincethe gas was flowing into open air, there was less chance of an explosion, The Alpenhorn News haslearned, but the village was ordered evacuated anyway. The gas flowed, unfettered, for over an hourbefore the first gas company worker arrived and ordered a repair crew to arrive.

Behind the wheel of the classic Porsche was well-known Lake Arrowhead resident, actor ChristopherMcDonald, whom after a field sobriety exam was conducted was taken into custody for driving underthe influence (DUI). McDonald remained at the scene after he exited his vehicle, although he did tryto impress the responding CHP officers by telling them he starred as the character Shooter McGavinin “Happy Gilmore,” which did not sway the officers in their duties. He was taken to the local jailwhere he was held until he sobered up and then was released, without bail, according the TMZreports.

The entire section of State Highway 189 from the Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa to the intersectionwith Hwy 173 was closed to traffic for several hours. Stater Bros Market and all the businesses at theupper village were evacuated and closed. Fortunately, it wasn’t long before closing time for themarket and most of the other businesses were about to close for the evening. Employees wereanxious to leave the area due to the smell and the resulting headaches.

McDonald is known for his roles in movies such as “Thelma and Louise” and “Happy Gilmore” and hehas over 175 other film and television credits. He has resided in the Lake Arrowhead area for years,

Sheriff’s deputies tracked down and arrested two San Bernardino women early Monday morning a�er they were found in possession of

dozens of pieces of mail, social security numbers and other personal information that belonged to other people, San Bernardino County

Sheriff’s of�cials said.

Consuelo Delayo, 37, and Elma Rosa Alvarez, 36, both of San Bernardino were arrested just a�er 1 a.m. on suspicion of possession of a

stolen vehicle, possession of stolen property, possession of stolen mail, identity the� and false personation, according to a Highland

station press release.

Around 10 p.m. Sunday, deputies from the Highland sheriff’s station were in the area of Palm Avenue and the 210 Freeway when they

spotted a stolen vehicle parked in the driveway of a home in the 1900 block of North Palm Avenue on the border of San Bernardino and

Highland, according to a press release.

Deputies watched the vehicle for a short time but when no one returned to the vehicle, deputies went to speak to the people inside the

home, the statement said.

“As they entered the yard, they observed another vehicle, a white Mercedes Benz R350 station wagon, that matched the description of a

vehicle that had been observed on surveillance video in East Highlands breaking into community mailboxes,” the statement said.

Deputies spoke to Delayo and Alvarez and and found a large Ziploc bag containing mail addressed to people in East Highland, of�cials said.

Through an investigation, it was determined Delayo was on community supervision probation through Assembly Bill 109.

A�er obtaining a warrant, investigators found several boxes of stolen mail, counterfeit credit cards, laptop computers, social security

cards, checks and identi�cations cards, of�cials said. They also found the women stolen information to fraudulently take out credit cards,

cable television and cell phone accounts in other people’s names.

Authorities also found stolen U.S. Postal Service mailbox keys and a stolen postal route report for the addresses in East Highland, sheriff’s

of�cials said.

Detective determined it was Alvarez who used one victim’s information to created credit and cell phone accounts, as well as fraudulent tax

returns, of�cials said. She had also recently signed rental agreements for the Palm Avenue home in the victim’s name.

Deputies are attempting to track down the victims and ask anyone who may have had their mail stolen in Highland and are the victim of

identity the�, to call Detective Chris Morsch at the Highland station at 909-387-8313.

Joseph Key Fierro, 51, was booked on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon

following the incident, which unfolded about 4:45 a.m. at Citrus and Alosta avenues,

just outside of Azusa Paci c University, according to Azusa police of cials and Los

Angeles County booking records.

Witnesses reported a man in a truck had threatened 10 to 15 runners who were

gathered in advance of the race, Of cer Mike Bires said.

“The male appeared to be holding a ri e while circling the victims in his vehicle,”

police said in a written statement. “He stopped and exited his vehicle, and pointed

the ri e directly at the victims while making some threats,” police said in a written

statement.

The man then returned to his black, raised GMC pickup truck and sped away east on

Alosta Avenue, police said. The truck had a green toolbox, aluminum wheels and a

passenger-side window taped up with plastic.

Several neighboring police agencies who happened to be on-hand to assist Azusa

police with the marathon sprung into action and coordinated resources, Bires said.

Investigators soon traced the suspect’s truck to his home in the area of Church

Street and Vineyard Avenue in Rancho Cucamonga.

An Azusa police SWAT team responded to the scene and found Fierro near his truck,

police said. He was taken into custody without a struggle.

Inside his truck, police found four realistic-looking guns designed to shoot plastic

BBs, including two ri es and two handguns, along with accessories such as BBs,

magazines and ashlights, Bires said. His motive remained unclear.

The Canyon City Marathon & Half Marathon went on without any further issues, he

added.

According to county booking records, Fierro was being held in lieu of $50,000 bail

pending his initial court appearance, scheduled Tuesday in the West Covina branch

of Los Angeles County Superior Court.

Police are seeking any additional victims who may have had suspicious encounters

with the suspect. Anyone with information is urged to contact Azusa police at 626-

812-3200.
