San Bernardino officials seek public input on proposed grant for off-road vehicle enforcement
By Joe Taglieri joet@beaconmedianews.com
San Bernardino city officials want state funding for enforcing illegal off-road vehicle activity and asked the public Monday to share feedback on the issue.
The grant is from California State Parks' Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Division and aims to help improve public safety and protect natural areas from illegal off-roading, officials said. The funding would support the San Bernardino Police Department's OffHighway Vehicle, or OHV Enforcement Team, which works to curb illegal OHV use in the Santa Ana River bottom and the city's other sensitive environmental habitats.
The proposed funding would go toward increased patrols, equipment maintenance and enforcement operations to reduce noise, property damage and environmental destruction caused by unauthorized off-road vehicles. The program also aims to bolster collaboration with neighboring law enforcement agencies.
"The public is encouraged to review the proposal and share their feedback," according to a city statement. "Input will help understand
any community concerns and ensure responsible OHV management. ... This period offers an opportunity for the public to review and provide feedback on preliminary applications."
The public comment period for the off-road vehicle enforcement grant is open until 5 p.m. May 5. To leave comments, email ohv.grants@parks.ca.gov. More information is online at ohv.parks.ca.gov/?page_ id=1164.
The city is request-
ing $62,000 from the state and will provide the rest of the proposed enforcement effort's $83,000 total.
Since the grant program started in 1974, it has distributed over $833 million to California municipalities, State Parks reported.
According to the city's grant proposal, "The San Bernardino Patrol and Enforcement OHV Operations Project will conduct patrol operations to address
unauthorized off-highway vehicle activity within the City of San Bernardino. Some enthusiasts access the OHV areas throughout the city by public roadways and often trespass on private lands while riding closed OHV trail systems."
The result has been "a significant increase in service calls" that drain law enforcement resources, officials said. "Based on officer observations and informa-

Riverside County supervisors OK range of public health fee revisions
By City News Service
The Board of Supervisors on Tuesday approved a slate of fee hikes tied to Riverside County Department of Public Health services, under a fee schedule revised to reflect inflation-driven impacts to the agency.
In a 3-0 vote — with Supervisors Yxstian Gutierrez and Chuck Washington absent — the board formally signed off on the adjustments, which will take effect on May 1.
Department of Public Health Director Kim Saruwatari said the Auditor-Controller's Office had scrutinized the proposal and determined the new rates were "equitable and reasonable to recover the cost of providing services."
"These new and revised public health program fees are necessary to meet the on-going operational and maintenance costs of providing public health program services to Riverside County residents," according to an agency statement posted to the board's agenda.

San Bernardino County calls on poultry farms, dairies to know signs of bird flu
By Joe Taglieri joet@beaconmedianews.com
Amid the statewide outbreak of bird flu, San Bernardino County officials repeated the call last week to poultry and dairy farmers to recognize the symptoms of infection.
Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza, commonly called bird flu, is a virus that spreads rapidly, officials said. It has affected many dairy herds and has also been detected in poultry farms, leading Gov. Gavin Newsom to declare a state of emergency in December and to a ban on poultry and dairy cow exhibitions.

Ex-campus cop from Menifee pleads not guilty to child porn charges
By City News Service
Aformer San Diego StateUniversity police officer accused of possessing child sex abuse material, including multiple videos of young girls being sexually abused, pleaded not guilty Tuesday to a federal charge of possessing child pornography.
Paul Aurelio McClain, formerly a sergeant with the campus police department, was arrested last month and remains in federal custody. Following his arraignment Tuesday morning in federal court in Riverside, a trial date was tentatively scheduled next month in Los Angeles, according to a U.S. Department of Justice spokesperson.
According to an affidavit included with a criminal complaint filed against McClain, investigators discovered that multiple videos depicting children being sexually abused were down-
in Menifee. Investigators found the alleged videos on an external hard drive on McClain's desk at the residence, according to the affidavit.
A description of one of the videos states two girls depicted in the footage
tion provided by the San Bernardino County Code Enforcement Officers, there are many incidents of illegal riding resulting in damage to the Santa Ana River wash and other high priority riverbed areas."
The Santa Ana River is a vast, partially urbanized flood control and natural habitat area that stretches across multiple jurisdictions from the San Bernardino Mountains through Riverside and Orange counties. Within San Bernardino city limits, the river originates at the lower end of the Cajon Pass.
"Another conjoining area of concern is a wash that runs out of Lytle Creek and ties into the Cajon wash," according to the grant proposal. "Finally, several additional washes originate in the San Bernardino Mountains and run through the city."
While these channels of water infrastructure are
appear to be "approximately 6 to 8 years old."
The affidavit states that McClain had been with the campus police department since at least 2023 and that his assignment at SDSU did not include investigating crimes such as child exploitation or child pornography.
Off-road vehicles
important for flood control and environmental conservation, the expansive, rugged terrain primes them for illegal OHV use.
"This illegal activity poses serious risks to public safety, damages sensitive habitats and compromises flood control infrastructure," officials said. "Additionally, the corridor’s proximity to residential neighborhoods increases the potential for noise disturbances, property damage and dangerous interactions between riders and the public."
San Bernardino's OHV enforcement project proposes seven patrol operations by a team of six officers, one detective and one supervising sergeant, supported by an administrative analyst for documentation and reporting. Another project feature is "the maintenance of two Can-Am Maverick R.S. off-road patrol vehicles to ensure that the department’s enforcement
resources are operationally ready."
Officials said the goal of the police department and civilian volunteers is to promote safe, responsible OHV recreation within designated, legal OHV areas in the county year-round.
"While in the field, the team assists OHV enthusiasts with questions regarding safety concerns, equipment, and legal and illegal riding areas," according to the proposal. "They are actively involved in public education during community events, career days, and local schools to educate the public about legal OHV recreation and preserving natural resources while reinforcing the 'Tread Lightly' principle."
The city just over 62 square miles, and the OHV enforcement team's proposed patrol area covers 18 miles of washes, riverbeds, flood control channels and mountain foothill areas
A statement issued last month by San Diego State police said an unnamed campus officer had been arrested for suspected possession of child pornography and that "upon learning of the allegations, UPD immediately initiated actions to terminate the officer."
known for illegal off-road vehicle use.
San Bernardino police will work with county Code Enforcement officers and the sheriff’s department to patrol restricted areas and during mutual aid requests in which assistance from additional agencies is needed to effectively handle OHV incidents, police will coordinate with local agencies to assist with patrol and search and rescue operations.
"Thirteen officers and civilian volunteers of the enforcement team will be available day and night to respond to OHV emergencies," officials said.
Patrols are likely to take place during holiday weekends that mark Labor Day, Christmas, New Year's Day, President’s Day, Easter and Memorial Day, according to the city. Many areas that are off-limits to offroading in San Bernardino see increased usage during these holiday periods.

This sweet and intelligent boy already knows his basic commands—sit, down, and shake (with both paws!)—and is always eager to show off his skills. Montana is the perfect blend of smart and silly, making him a joy to be around. Whether he's showing off his tricks or just lounging by your side, he's always up for hanging with his favorite people. One of Montana’s absolute favorite activities is playing fetch. He’s got a natural talent for the game—he’ll chase after a ball with excitement and then bring it right back, even tossing it at your feet for another round!

He also seems to get along well with other dogs, so he may enjoy having a canine companion to share his adventures. Montana would love a home where he can get plenty of playtime, love, and attention. He’s past the (difficult!) puppy stage but still has plenty of energy and enthusiasm. If you’re looking for a loyal, fun-loving companion who will keep you smiling every day, come meet Montana—he’s ready to be your new best friend! Montana’s age makes him eligible for Pasadena Humane’s Seniors for Seniors Program. His adoption fee is waived for any adopter over the age of 60!

Impact of traffic violations on California auto insurance rates
In California, your car insurance premiums can rise significantly due to traffic violations. The extent of the increase depends on factors such as the violation type, local regulations and the insurer's policies.
Minor offenses like speeding might cause a small increase, while more serious violations, such as DUIs, can lead to much higher rates. Additionally, the effect on premiums in California may differ from the national average due to regional risks and rules.
Here's a breakdown of average auto insurance rates in California after common driving viola-
tions:
-No violation: $183
-Not-at-fault accident: $183
-Failure to wear a seat belt: $247
-Speeding 6-10 mph over limit: $260
-Speeding 21-25 mph over limit: $260
-DUI: $476
-Reckless driving: $452
-Driving with a suspended license: $371
-Leaving scene of an accident/hit and run: $459 Car insurance rates across California's top cities
Your location impacts your car insurance rate. Busy cities mean higher costs due to traffic, while quieter towns often have lower premiums.

USC loses to Connecticut
78-64 in Elite Eight
By City News Service
USC's hopes of advancing to its first Women's Final Four since 1986 were ended by Connecticut for the second consecutive season with a 78-64 loss in the Regional 4 final Monday evening in Spokane, Washington.
Playing without AllAmerican guard JuJu Watkins for the second consecutive game, the Trojans broke out to a 11-5 lead five minutes, 46 seconds into the game.
The Huskies responded with a 9-0 run with freshman forward Sarah Strong scoring the first seven points and led for the rest of the game.

halftime, giving Connecticut its largest lead of the first half, 39-25.
The Huskies scored the first five points of the second half on Strong's 3-point basket and two free throws by Bueckers for a 44-25 lead.
The Trojans scored the final 11 points of the third quarter, cutting the deficit to 51-46, but were unable to get any closer.
Bueckers led all scorers with 31 points, while Strong added 22 and Chen 15. Rayah Marshall scored 23 and Kiki Iriafen and Talia van Oelhoffen 10 each for USC (31-4) before a crowd announced at 10,141 at Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena.
Watkins sustained what the university only described as "a season- ending injury" in the Trojans' 96-59 victory over Mississippi State last Monday night in a secondround game.

Bird flu
working with county departments of Public Health and Agriculture/Weights & Measures to provide guidance via "handouts, FAQs, news releases and biosecurity measures" to poultry and dairy farmers, backyard flock owners and workers countywide.
In the last 30 days, testing confirmed H5N1 bird flu is present in San Bernardino County dairy farms, according to an investigation by the CDFA and "rapid disease detection" involving the California Animal Health and Food Safety Laboratory System and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The clinical signs that suggest possible bird flu infection in livestock include:
• decrease in feed consumption with a simultaneous decrease in rumination and rumen motility;
• respiratory signs including clear nasal discharge;
• acute drop in milk production — severely affected cattle may have thicker, concentrated, colostrum-like milk or produce no milk at all;
• abnormal tacky or loose feces;
• lethargy;
• dehydration; and
• fever
According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, these are the signs of bird flu in pet birds and backyard flocks:
• sudden death with no prior signs;
• low energy or appetite;
• purple discoloration or swelling of various body parts;
• reduced egg production, or soft-shelled, misshapen eggs;
• nasal discharge, coughing or sneezing;
• lack of coordination;
• diarrhea
Since California’s first detection of the H5N1 virus in dairies in August, 755 dairies were infected with 422 of those fully recovered and released from quarantine, county officials reported. All dairies released from quarantine will be monitored bi-monthly for the virus.
The CDFA offers resources regarding H5N1 bird flu on the agency's website. For local questions and concerns, email the department of Agriculture/Weights & Measures at awm@awm. sbcounty.gov or go to the Department of Public Health website, dph.sbcounty.gov/birdflu.
The current risk to the public remains low, according to state health officials. No personto-person spread of bird flu has been detected in California. People rarely get bird flu, but those who interact with infected dairy cows, poultry, or wildlife have a greater risk of infection. Statewide 38 human cases of bird flu have been reported, the last of which as on Jan. 14. Most of the human infections were connected with exposure to cattle, with two cases resulting from unknown exposure sources.
Pasteurized milk and dairy products are safe to consume because pasteurization inactivates the virus. Bird flu has been caused the deaths of several cats in multiple California counties after the pets consumed raw milk products. Raw milk does not undergo pasteurization.

CSunnylands seeks interns for 2025-26 tour guide program
By City News Service
ollegestudents seekingpaid gigs through the fall and going into the first half of 2026 were encouraged Monday to apply for internships at Sunnylands Center & Gardens that turn students into tour guides at the Rancho Mirage estate.
"Tour guides are responsible for advancing the educational mission of The Annenberg Foundation Trust at Sunnylands by providing a welcoming experience at the Center & Gardens, historic house and grounds through guided tours," Center Director Michaeleen Gallagher said. "As tour guides, students will be able to gain work experience in a beautiful environment that incorporates art, architecture, history, hospitality, golf course operations and environmental sustainability."

In a few instances, fees have been put forward where none existed previously. For the department's "mobile team vaccines" service, the cost of administering a Gardisil human papillomavirus 9 variant inoculation will go from zero to $330. Similarly, to receive the Boostrix TDAP vaccine via a mobile clinic will cost $50, where there was no charge before. Any mobile vaccination clinic service will additionally include administration fees — ranging from $2 to $90, depending on
economic hardship — which haven't been charged in the past.
To obtain a "dog importation health certificate," the department will in the future charge $26 for the service. There was previously no cost attached to the certificate.
A number of laboratory processing fees will be increased. A tuberculosis culture analysis will go from $20 to $50, while a basic "culture for identification" will jump from $17 to $50.
An HIV antibody screening will go from $28 to $36.12,
and the cost of an HIV-1 and HIV-2 genus confirmation will be raised from $46 to $58.06.
The new up-front cost for procuring any medical documents loaded onto a CD, such as images of X-rays and CT scans, will be $25. In the past, this was a complimentary service provided by the department.
Health insurance providers, including governmentsubsidized Medi-Cal, will likely pick up many of the new expenses, though co-pay costs were unknown.
tour guide opportunities starting in September and continuing into June 2026.
Salary ranges were not disclosed. However, Gallagher said all of the slots include university credit for various majors at participating higher educational institutions throughout the region.
Training for the new crop of guides is slated for July and August, while the 200-acre estate is closed to the public.
Sunnylands was the
one-time winter lodging of billionaire publishing magnate, and later philanthropist, Walter Annenberg, as well as his wife, Leonore Annenberg. It drew a variety of names from the international jet set and now features desert gardens, art exhibitions and other attractions at 37- 977 Bob Hope Drive.

Beckman wins 300th funny car race for John Force Racing at Winternationals
By Tim Haddock, City News Service
After winning the 300th NHRA Funny Car race for John Force Racing, Corona's Jack Beckman is headed back to work as an elevator repairman Monday.
Beckman was the winner in Funny Car in the Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals at the In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip Sunday, giving his team 300 career wins in Funny Car.
Beckman has three of those wins. John Force, the team owner and one-time driver from Yorba Linda, won 157 Funny Car races.
"It felt good to be able to pedal the thing and take it down there and have the car not blow up. It*s pretty cool when they hand you a trophy, your car still intact, and get John Force Racing its 300th Funny car win," Beckman said.
Beckman, who has won 38 NHRA races in his career, was out of drag racing for almost four years. When Force crashed in a race at Richmond, Virginia in June, and was recovering from his injuries, Beckman was called and asked to finish the season for the team.
Beckman competed in

eight races for John Force Racing in 2024, winning two, including the NHRA Auto Club Finals at Pomona in November. In the four years he was out of NHRA drag racing, Beckman worked as an elevator repairman, a job he still has. He said he was scheduled to work on Monday, the day after winning the Winternationals Funny Car race.
"The car was amazing all weekend. We qualified fourth, but we got qualifying points every single round and ran 3.80s every round of eliminations until the final when the flawless part fell off a couple of hundred feet out and the car shook the tires and knocked them loose," Beckman said. "That's where, as a driver, you've got to be ready to give one back to the team because they'd given me everything all weekend long."
Beckman won the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series Winternationals race on Sunday, defeating Daniel Wilkerson in the final round, and is the leader in the NHRA Funny Car standings after three races.
Top Fuel driver Clay Millican won at the NHRA
Winternationals for the first time in his career beating Tony Stewart in the final round.
Millican won the eighth NHRA Top Fuel race of his career and his first since the U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis in 2024.
"My crew chief (Jim Oberhofer) told me he had it loaded up and a couple things were going to happen. He said we're going to win, we're going to blow up and if we lose, we're going to be a footnote in history," said Millican, a driver for Rick Ware Racing. "Thank goodness we're not a footnote in history. Tony Stewart is going to win one of these soon, but all I know is we won the Winternationals."
Stewart, a NASCAR Hall of Famer and threetime NASCAR Cup Series champion, reached the finals in NHRA Top Fuel for the second time in his career. His first final appearance was at Sonoma Raceway in 2024. He was also in the 4-Wide Nationals final at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway last year.
Millican beat Stewart in a fiery run at Pomona. His
car's engine caught fire as it crossed the finish line well ahead of Stewart.
"But boy, that final round was forever. When you blow it up and — and we blew it up good — and you got a HANS [head restraint] device on, you're stretching that HANS to its limits, trying to look over like, ‘Is he coming or not?' I couldn't get there quick enough," Millican said. "I promise I never let off the throttle, even though it wasn't running no more. But I had that thing buried. I was
stomping on the loud pedal harder than normal. What a day."
Greg Anderson won in Pro Stock at the Winternationals setting the track record in the final round.
Anderson won the final race over Dallas Glenn in 6.476 seconds, breaking the record of 6.480 seconds at the track set by Erica Enders in 2014.
"We set a [track] record in the final and this is the way you want to do it," said Anderson, a driver of KB

Utility inaugurates monthlong tour to inform customers about changes
By City News Service
Starting this week and continuing all month, ImperialIrrigation
District customers throughout the Coachella Valley will have an opportunity to attend open houses offering informationregarding projects to improve services, as well as apply for access to energy payment assistance programs.
IID's "Powering Our Community Together" tour will run from April 1 to April 29, with the first Coachella Valley stop slated for 6 p.m. Friday at the Mecca Family & Farmworkers' Service Center, 91-275 66th Ave.
"These open houses are about building trust, sharing information and showing our customers that we're here for them," IID Board Chairwoman Gina Dockstader said in a statement. "Whether it's help with a bill,
questions about rates, or learning how we're preparing the power grid for the future, this is a chance for our communities to connect with us face-to-face."
The nonprofit utility, which has a 6,500-squaremile service area covering most of Imperial County and a large swath of eastern Riverside County, has undertaken a 15-year infrastructure modernization program that's expected to cost roughly $3.34 billion to complete, according to officials.
The program encompasses more than 270 individual projects, which are centered on upgrading the region's aging electrical grid, requiring replacement of transmission lines, reengineering outdated generation plants and refurbishing hydro turbines.
"Staff will be available to answer questions about recent rate adjustments, which are helping keep power costs among the lowest in California," the district stated.
Attendees also will have the opportunity to procure details on energy cost reduction options, for which they can apply on-site.
"Applicants are encouraged to bring income verification for all adults in the household, Social Security numbers, identification and recent tax returns," according to the district.
There will be a total of 15 stops during the monthlong tour. Along with Mecca, IID officials also plan to visit locations in La Quinta and Indio.
