Riverside County, CA: Supervisors Approve Halloween Curfew For Sex Offenders

Editors Note: Good! Check Sex Offender locations HERE

(120 in Corona, CA alone!)

The Riverside County Board of Supervisors approved a measure that would prohibit convicted sex offenders from handing out candy or taking part in any other activity that might attract children to their homes on Halloween.

As part of a strategy to enhance protections for children trick-or- treating, Supervisor Jeff Stone is seeking a revision to the county's anti- loitering law that would impose additional restrictions on registered sex offenders who reside in unincorporated communities.

Corona, CA: Judge orders trial for man charged in girlfriend's death

A judge ruled Friday that a 19-year-old man must stand trial on two counts of murder for allegedly killing his pregnant 17-year-old girlfriend and dumping her body in a trash can.

The ruling came after two witnesses - a Fontana police detective and a San Bernardino County sheriff's deputy - testified in Fontana Superior Court about their investigation into the death of Anyssia Escamilla, whose body was discovered in a Corona landfill last year, three months after she went missing.

Corona, CA: Red light cameras hit stop signs in many Inland cities

Following decisions by Los Angeles and several Inland cities to get rid of their red light cameras, Riverside and Corona face similar choices this month when their contracts with the camera companies come to an end.

Supporters say the camera programs -- which use pictures and video to ticket drivers for running red lights -- are proven to reduce crashes and encourage safer driving.

Opponents argue the accident data is inconclusive and the cameras can be a financial drain on city budgets and drivers who may be guilty merely of not pausing long enough during a right turn.

Further clouding the cost and safety issues, the Los Angeles City Council's recent decision raised confusion over whether drivers actually have to pay the tickets.

Officials say the short answer in Riverside and San Bernardino counties is yes, you must pay red light camera tickets. Ignoring them could lead to penalties such as extra fees and suspension of your driver's license.

Crashes down

In cities with active red light camera programs, officials say collision statistics show increased safety since the cameras were installed.

Corona put in five cameras at four intersections in 2009. Since then, red light violations are down 50 percent, and crashes are down at all intersections, including those without cameras, said Corona police Sgt. John Marshall.

The reduction in crashes is an indication that motorists have changed their behavior, Marshall said, and that's the goal of the camera program.

"The numbers are going down like crazy," he said. "I love it. It's a phenomenon other cities are telling me is happening in their communities."

After starting its program in 2006, Riverside now has cameras at 20 intersections.

"Since the program's inception, there has been a steady and drastic decrease in the number of vehicles captured running red lights," city management analyst Staci Sullivan wrote in an email.

According to city statistics, violations at intersections with cameras, and collisions citywide have both dropped.

Tom Herrmann, director of public information for Redflex Traffic Systems in Phoenix, which provides red light camera systems to cities, said various studies show the devices change driver behavior and save lives.

"While there are some very vocal opponents, most people look at traffic safety cameras and say, 'I want safer intersections.' And the data supports that traffic safety cameras improve safety," he said.

But officials in some cities that scrapped their camera programs said they saw no such dramatic results, and cities' statistics varied so widely it was hard to call them conclusive.

San Bernardino council members have said that fear of an expensive ticket from the camera can cause rear-end crashes because some drivers slam on their brakes at yellow lights.

Murrieta officials opted earlier this year to extend their camera contract. They acknowledge rear-end crashes are up, though they blame it in part on an increase in traffic on city streets.

Additionally, some question the safety benefits of punishing people for rolling right turns, which some cities say account for a majority of their red light camera tickets.

Corona's statistics show most of its tickets -- 67 percent -- are for left turns on red lights, which Corona police Lt. Mark Johnson said cause the most serious-injury crashes. But San Bernardino and Loma Linda officials have claimed the bulk of their tickets -- as much as 80 percent in Loma Linda -- are for right turns.

"The safety factor hasn't been proven true," Loma Linda Councilman Ovidiu Popescu said.

Loma Linda officials have said they significantly reduced red light running by adding one second to the timing of yellow lights. Riverside officials said they stick close to federal and state guidelines for minimum length of yellow lights -- three seconds for a 25 mph intersection -- but they add one or two tenths of a second.

Donald Teagarden, a retired sheriff's deputy who reviews tickets for Riverside, said simply making yellow lights longer could create its own issues.

"The problem you're going to run into is people who live in Riverside are going to get used to a six-second yellow," then they'll end up running red lights in other cities where the yellow cycle is shorter, he said.

Large fines

The economics of the cameras are another source of confusion and dispute.

There's a public perception that the cameras make big money for everyone involved -- the companies that operate them and cities that install them, as well as county courts and state government.

Statistics suggest a different and more convoluted reality. The total fine, typically upwards of $400, is made up of a base fine plus more than a dozen county and state fees for public safety and courts. Cities only collect a percentage.

Riverside officials said they get about $142 per ticket, or 30 percent of the $476 ticket cost. The San Bernardino city website lists a total ticket cost of $408, but it wasn't clear how much of that the city receives.

As of 2004, state law bars the camera companies from basing their revenue on the number of tickets issued.

The economics have been an ongoing problem for San Bernardino. The city was already losing money on its camera program when the City Council voted in March to end a contract with American Traffic Solutions early. The company responded by demanding a $1.9 million penalty payment. Officials are negotiating the fee with the company.

San Bernardino City Attorney Jim Penman has declined to discuss negotiations with American Traffic Solutions other than to say he believes the dispute is headed to court.

"Ending the contract was not the right thing to do if it was going to cost us $1.8 million," Councilman Rikke Van Johnson said.

Highland officials say the city has made $80,500 from the cameras since installing them at two intersections three years ago, and Grand Terrace officials say theirs are cost-neutral.

But Riverside and Corona have spent more money than the cameras have brought in, though the losses are small. In Riverside, the city pays a flat per-camera fee to Redflex and has nine part-time retired officers review the violations. Last fiscal year the cost came to about $506,000 more than revenues. This year officials project the program will come out $28,000 ahead.

Some officials say the cost/profit issue is a separate debate and making money isn't the purpose of the cameras.

"We implemented our program for public safety. "We picked our (camera) locations based on accident data and surveys of red light running at particular intersections," Riverside Public Works Director Siobhan Foster said.

But some point out that it's not just cities losing money on the cameras. People who may already be struggling in a down economy then get hit with a nearly $500 ticket -- money they might otherwise spend at local stores or restaurants.

Ronnie Mitchell, 21, a student at Riverside City College and Moreno Valley resident, is now facing a fine of about $800 because his ticket from Riverside went to a former address and he missed his court date.

He came to Riverside City Hall last week to review the photos and video of his recent violation. Mitchell said he plans to ask a judge to reduce the fine.

Jenae Brown, also of Moreno Valley, said she didn't have time to go to court over the ticket she received in December for a right turn in Riverside. It took her about four months of cutting back to cover the ticket cost.

"Valentine's Day was coming up, so I told my husband, 'You're not getting anything and we're not doing anything,'" she said.

Not voluntary

Some drivers who got red light citations in Los Angeles were angry to learn recently that city officials concluded paying the tickets was "voluntary" because Los Angeles County Superior Court officials were not enforcing unpaid tickets.

In Riverside and San Bernardino counties, drivers who receive a citation but fail to either pay the ticket or appear in court will be given an extra fine. If they still don't respond, the court reports them to the Department of Motor Vehicles, which could suspend their license.

L.A. Superior Court spokeswoman Kathy Roberts explained in a written statement that courts are allowed but not required to report drivers to the DMV. Los Angeles court officials have determined that reporting red light camera violators to the DMV could cause "an unfair result where the owner of the vehicle is denied the ability to renew his or her license," even if they weren't driving the car when a camera caught it, Roberts' statement said.

She also noted that the court sends unresolved red light tickets to a collection agency.

Riverside and San Bernardino county courts report drivers who ignore red light citations to the DMV, officials said. However, any penalties depend on the type of ticket issued, and certain tickets can't be enforced.

Riverside and Corona officials said they send out two kinds of tickets: notices of violation, which have been dubbed "snitch tickets," and citations.

A citation is sent when a camera catches a red light violation, and a person reviewing the photos and video determines the driver is the person to whom the car is registered. Citations include a time and location for a court appearance, and ignoring those carries penalties.

Notices of violation are sent when it's unclear who was driving a car that ran a red light. Mailed to the car's owner, notices of violation ask the identity of the driver caught on camera.

City and court officials can't penalize the car's owner if they can't prove who was driving the car during the red light violation.

The notice of violation "lets the registered owner know, 'You better pay attention. You're responsible for this vehicle,'" Teagarden said.

But, he added, "You're under no obligation to help us."

Awareness

City officials continue to hold mixed opinions on red light cameras. Riverside Mayor Ron Loveridge said he agrees with staff's conclusion that the cameras have reduced accidents, and he wants to continue the city's contract with Redflex Traffic Systems.

A council committee may discuss the contract Aug. 22, pending negotiations with Redflex, and a vote by the full council could come in September.

Riverside has retired law enforcement officers review every violation and use discretion on whether to send out tickets, he noted.

"Part of the reason our program has not received a lot of negative attention is we are very careful, I think, when we send a violation out," Loveridge said, adding that having the cameras has made him more cautious at all intersections.

Corona Mayor Stan Skipworth, who is also a police officer, interprets such changes in driving behavior differently. Collisions and injury rates in that city have gone down since cameras went in.

"I feel like the program has met its objective and I don't see a need for it to continue," Skipworth said.

"The idea is to use it to bring greater awareness and improve traffic safety and hopefully cause a long-term change of habits of people who otherwise may be less diligent. I don't know (that) keeping the system in place will bring significantly more awareness."

The Corona City Council will discuss the camera contract Aug. 17.

Corona, CA: Kaiser to close call center

243 jobs to be lost by March; new jobs coming this summer

Kaiser Permanente plans to close its Stockton customer call center, and the 243 jobs it provides, by March, officials announced Thursday.

Some of those workers, and at least one longtime Kaiser patient, were understandably upset by the news. However, Kaiser executives said they would create new opportunities in Stockton, including 170 new, higher-paid medical coding jobs beginning this summer.

Tamika Edwards, a call center employee and Stockton resident, was angered by Kaiser's move to consolidate its national call center operations in three locations: Corona, Maryland and Colorado.

In recent months, Stockton workers had seen some of their work shifted to Corona, which already handles two-thirds of customer calls in California and changes to make that transition easier, Edwards said.

"We've been asking management for months, is the call center closing?" she said. And until Thursday, the answer had always been no. "They say they didn't see this coming."

Michelle Smith, a Stockton resident and a Kaiser patient for the past 19 years, said she loves her Kaiser physicians but complained the cost of coverage has been increasing while services, such as after-hours care and access to treatment at Dameron Hospital in Stockton, have been curtailed.

"Now that (call center) is closing in Stockton. Is that going to affect me?" Smith worried. "I'm, like, ready to cry."

Call center workers only answer questions about benefits, available coverage and services, and facility information, said Melanie Hatchel, Kaiser's public affairs director for the Central Valley.

Physician appointment and medical advice calls will continue to be handled in Stockton, she said.

"There really won't be any impact on patient care," Hatchel said.

As for the affected workers, including 192 union members, Kaiser officials said all would be offered a wide range of employment, retraining and educational options. Sixteen have already been placed in new jobs.

"We have a long-standing commitment to this community. So we are going to do everything possible to transition our employees into other jobs and offer them other opportunities," Hatchel said.

While details still need to be worked out with the union, call center workers are expected to get priority for training and placement into the new coding positions; placement assistance into other Kaiser jobs in the Valley and Northern California; and tuition assistance, including enrollment at the new Kaiser Permanente School of Allied Health Sciences Stockton campus.

Inland Empire, CA: Dodgers Beating Suspects -- Long Rap Sheets

Update: Alleged picture(s) of suspect Marvin Norwood (obtained HERE)...

we chose to remove them to adhere with the ongoing investigation.

The two suspects in the Dodger Stadium beating case have been identified, and it looks like they are both bad dudes.

The men currently in custody -- 29-year-old Louie Sanchez and 30-year-old Marvin Norwood.

Both men are being held on $500,000 bail for the beating of Bryan Stow (above) on opening day.

TMZ has learned ... Norwood has been arrested in San Bernardino County 5 times, including one for spousal abuse. He was convicted for spousal abuse and various DUI and drug charges.

Sanchez has been arrested 9 times in San Bernardino County, and he has an arrest for spousal abuse. Sanchez was convicted on spousal abuse and firearms violations, including carrying a LOADED gun in a public place.

All told, Sanchez has been arrested by THREE different police departments in THREE different cities.

Giovanni Ramirez -- the man whom the police chief said did the vicious deed -- has been exonerated. It is a big embarrassment for the LAPD.

Inland Empire, CA: Suspects in Stow Case Arrested in Rialto (Report)

Two of the suspects made incriminating statements that implicated them in the attack, according to the AP

The two men arrested Thursday in the beating of Giants fan Bryan Stow were taken into custody during raids Thursday at two Inland Empire locations, according to an LA Times report.

The Times identified the men as Louie Sanchez, 29, and Marvin Norwood, 30. A third suspect, a woman identified as Dorene Sanchez, was taken into custody at the same Rialto residence as Louie Sanchez, according to Sheriff's Department arrest records.

Bail for Louie Sanchez Norwood was set at $500,000, according to arrest records. All of the suspects have addresses listed in Rialto.

Louie and Dorene Sanchez are siblings. Norwood and Dorene Sanchez live together on West Victoria in Rialto. Louie Sanchez also has an address on West Victoria.

Two Arrested in Stow Beating

Bryan Stow Roommate Daniel Simon Reacts

Neighbors told NBC4 that LAPD personnel were in the area Thursday.

Norwood was arrested by the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department in 2006 on spousal abuse charges when he lived in Hesperia.

A law enforcement official told the Associated Press that the two men made incriminating statements that implicated them in the attack. The official said there was no forensic evidence against the men.

Officials expect the case to be filed with prosecutors by Monday, the AP reported.

The LAPD has not commented on the reported arrests.

On Thursday night, NBC4 spoke to Chip Matthews, who represents family members of Giovanni Ramirez, and he confirmed the two new arrests. Ramirez was labelled the prime suspect in the case after his May 22 arrest.

"I did have a chance to speak with higher-ups tonight at the Los Angeles Police Department and confirmed that two other people have been arrested for the beating of Bryan Stow," Matthews said.

NBC4 also learned Thursday that LAPD has surveillance video of the Dodger Stadium parking lot attack before it occurred. Sources said the video shows Stow engaged in a verbal confrontation with two men.

Police said Ramirez fit the description of one of the suspects, but the Los Angeles District Attorney's office did not file charges. Instead, Ramirez was sent back to prison on a parole violation involving a weapons charge.

Corona, CA: How-to session on business plans offered in Corona

The Inland Empire Women’s Business Center at Cal State San Bernardino will hold a workshop on Wednesday, July 20, in Corona on what a business plan is and how to develop one for existing or prospective business owners.

The Inland Empire Women’s Business Center at Cal State San Bernardino will hold a workshop on Wednesday, July 20, in Corona on what a business plan is and how to develop one for existing or prospective business owners.

“Business Plan Review,” a free workshop, will be from 6-8 p.m. at the Corona City Hall, 400 South Vicentia Ave., in the Economic Development/Redevelopment Office on the third floor, in Corona.

Nicole Kinney, the director of the Inland Empire Women’s Business Center, will facilitate this workshop.

Participants will learn how to do an industry analysis, conduct marketing research and build a cash flow projection to determine a project’s total cost. These concepts are expected to provide budding entrepreneurs with a better understanding of the feasibility of their project and much more.

The Inland Empire Women’s Business Center is a program of the Inland Empire Center for Entrepreneurship at Cal State San Bernardino in partnership with the U.S. Small Business Administration. The center provides business counseling, training and mentoring designed for women business owners.

The program provides targeted services to Latina business owners (currently the fastest growing group of women-owned businesses in the country) by providing services in English and Spanish.

The Corona Women’s Business Partnership is organized by the Inland Empire Women’s Business Center collaboratively with the Corona Business Assistance Program. Corona business owners and residents have access to Corona Business Assistance as a resource partner in their pursuit of small business growth and success. The CBA program offers a monthly start-up workshop and provides business counseling appointments at no charge each Wednesday and Thursday at the Corona Public Library.

Riverside, CA: Supervisor Proposing 13 Counties Secede From California

Under the proposal, Riverside, Imperial, San Diego, Orange, San Bernardino, Kings, Kern, Fresno, Tulare, Inyo, Madera, Mariposa and Mono would be asked to consider forming a 51st state, the State of South California.

Riverside County Supervisor Jeff Stone, 3rd District, announced Thursday that he will ask leaders in 13 counties to begin discussions about seceding from the State of California.

Under the proposal, Riverside, Imperial, San Diego, Orange, San Bernardino, Kings, Kern, Fresno, Tulare, Inyo, Madera, Mariposa and Mono would be asked to consider forming a 51st state, the State of South California.

Boards of supervisors and city councils within those counties would be invited to meet and discuss the feasibility of secession from California, Stone said in a statement sent by Ray Smith, spokesman for the Riverside County Executive Office.

"He is so disenfranchised with the state's inabilities," said Verne Lauritzen, Stone's chief of staff, in a phone interview late Thursday.

"So he is recommending we start some discussions with other counties, and there are lots of them.

"He is dead serious."

Lauritzen said Stone, who represents the communities of Murrieta, Temecula, Menifee, Canyon Lake, Hemet and San Jacinto, as well as several unincorporated areas, is largely frustrated with the Legislature's passage of Senate Bill 89.

The bill threatens to dismantle newly incorportated cities because it diverts vehicle license fee revenue to fund public safety.

The bill would drastically affect newly incorporated cities of Wildomar, Menifee, Eastvale and Jurupa Valley, Lauritzen said.

All are dependent on the vehicle license fee revenue.

Wildomar stands to lose $1.8 million in revenues if SB 89 is not amended. Potential revenue losses for the three other new cities are even higher, with Eastvale standing to lose $3.1 million, Jurupa losing $6.2 million, and Menifee dropping $3.9 million, according to a letter written by legislators to Gov. Jerry Brown.

The legislators asked the governor to return Senate Bill 89 to lawmakers for amendments.

“This revenue accounts for 20 percent to 25 percent of the entire budget for these new cities. These cities will be seriously impacted by this realignment and will have way no ability to recover from this devastating loss of revenue. The four cities in Western Riverside County (and unknown others statewide) may be forced into bankruptcy or un-incorporation as a direct result of this bill,” the letter states.

Assemblyman Kevin Jeffries, 66th District, Assemblyman Paul Cook, 65th District, Assemblyman Jeff Miller, 71st District, Assemblyman Brian Nestande, 64th District, Senator Bill Emmerson, 37th District, and Senator Bob Dutton, 31st District, all signed the letter.

Otherwise there will be a “devastating effect on four new cities within our region and may well result in bankruptcy or un-incorporation of one or more of them,” the letter stated.

Stone is slated to bring his breakaway proposal to the Riverside County Board of Supervisors on July 12.

Stone suggested the new state consider a part-time legislature, shifting governance more toward local control. Part-time legislators might receive only a $600 per month stipend and no other financial benefits except travel expenses to the new state capitol, he said.

Also open for consideration would be doing away with term limits, actually enforcing the state’s borders, adopting reasonable sales taxes and a provision like Prop. 13 that would control property taxes.

Counties and cities interested in the proposal, including those Stone has not already identified, would be invited to sit down and discuss the proposal.

He also suggested convening a meeting at the Riverside Convention Center, where residents and officials from each county and city would be welcome to offer ideas and testimony.

“Are there huge challenges? Absolutely,” Stone acknowledged. “But the destruction of California has to stop and we won’t know what we can accomplish unless we sit down and consider the possibilities.”
