AES In the NEWS: CJUSD & AES Power Plant Plan

Power plant worries district

GRAND TERRACE - Colton school board members have expressed concerns about the construction of a 300-megawatt power plant near the city's southwest border.
The proposed plant is slated to be across the street from a new high school expected to open in about three years.
*
Board members passed a resolution last month opposing plans for any new power plants near existing or proposed school sites.
*
The resolution states Colton Joint Unified School District will actively participate during the public review process to make sure its safety concerns are addressed.
Operating power plants increase noise, truck traffic, air and water pollution and pose other health hazards to their surrounding areas, according to the resolution.
*
"We need to protect kids first and foremost," board member Mel Albiso said. "If (the proposed plant) is going to pose any health issues for school children, I would be against it."
AES Highgrove LLC has filed an application with the California Energy Commission to construct and operate the plant at 12700 Taylor St. on the site of a former Southern California Edison plant that was deactivated in 2003.
*
The proposed "peaker plant," which will be powered by three natural-gas-fired turbines, will operate during times of heavy energy consumption, particularly in summer months.
Julie Way, AES project director, said she respects the board's concerns about student safety at the proposed high school.
*
Way said the company conducted extensive environmental studies that were submitted to the commission for review.
*
"We are confident that their independent review, when completed, will confirm our conclusions that the project will not pose any significant health risks or impacts to students or faculty at the proposed school site, as is feared by the board," Way said in an e-mail.
*
The commission's preliminary staff assessment should be available for public review and comment near the end of the summer, Way said.
*
The commission is expected to hold a public workshop on the project in Grand Terrace in the next month or two. Additional workshops will be conducted in Grand Terrace before the commission reaches a final decision, which is anticipated next year.
*If the project is approved, construction could begin in late 2008 or early 2009 to meet a summer 2010 startup date.
*
The power plant would be northwest of the football stadium and baseball fields at the new high school.
*
Alice Grundman, the school district's director of facilities planning and construction, said the enrollment capacity of the high school is 2,500 students.
*
"I think it's possible to make (the plant) safe," Grundman said. "What's critical right now is for the school district to assist in the review of environmental documents, which we are doing."

Comming Attractions in Grand Terrace: Stay Tuned

As We the Citizens of Grand Terrace Enjoy the final days of Firework Assualt along with Fireworks this City has issues to address. Some of these issues are over 3 years old now and yet the City Council has not had the Items on the Agenda, or Refuse to address the Issues brought to them.

A Quick Review:

Eminent Domain: The Use and Limited Use of Eminent Domain by the City and Redevelopment Agency. Not by saying we haven’t or didn’t use it, but by changing the Code or Ordinance allowing it for limited specific reasons.

AES: City Council Position sent to California Energy Commission and put AES on Notice.

High School #3: Conflict of Intended Use if AES is across the street will the CJUSD back out of the Deal and Leave the land back to GT RDA?

OAC and the Overpriced House bought by the RDA as Negotiated by Gene Carlstrom of Terra Loma.

The continued practice of Hiring and Employing Part Time City Planners while Contracting Services with their “Other Employer”. The same people who brought us the DEFUNKED OAC, Manhole Cover Initial Approval, and rushed and unfinished documents on almost every RDA/Developer Project in the city. The same people get no bid contracts for services to the city.

The lack of documented proof that Steve Berry Paid 500.00 for the Car the City RDA bought with RDA Funds, for the exclusive use of Tom Schwab, and the deposit of those funds in a specific City or RDA Account. Not to mention any action taken regarding the sale of surplus items without proper process.

The lack of a Plan for the Town Square, including the proper disposition of RDA Land in the Project Area., (public notice last years transfer of RDA land to Jacobsen was not done), has payment been received by the RDA? The Designated Developer had an obligation to meet a time line regarding development and planning. Those requirements have expired.

The Un Recalled and Newly Elected and City Council Members have all entered into their period of being Recallable, (6 months Served and More than 6 months left in their terms). Will this cause them to get to work and do the city’s business and be responsive to the Citizens of the Community, or will the citizens conclude they gave the Mayor the benefit of doubt and gave her a try as “Official Mayor” and they are or are not satisfied with the direction and actions of the City?

Will there be folks to run for City Council that will Put the Citizen’s Concerns and Issues on the Official Agenda, so the council can have a discussion, commit to a position and show their real and true interests, and concerns?

Will the City Web Page be Updated and Maintained… and accurate? Will the City Publish Arrest Records, and Crime Reports, including the Call in to Dispatch Log?

So much left to do in the City of Grand Terrace, and yet for the last six months the City Council Meetings were less than an hour in duration, and items requested to be on the agenda, have not been on the agenda.

When the City of Grand Terrace allows Fireworks to be sold in Grand Terrace it allows those items to be purchased by people who will knowingly use the fireworks in areas where they are not allowed, hence illegal. The city and sports teams are contributing to this illegal behavior. Perhaps at the level as being accomplices or co-conspirators in the illegal distribution and use of fireworks. Grand Terrace Fireworks Stands do not require proof of residency for the purchase of Fireworks. It does not force the use of the Fireworks bought in Grand Terrace be lit in Grand Terrace. No the City of Grand Terrace and the Sports Teams knowingly and expect and conspire to sell to customers who will be exporting the fireworks to places they are not legal.

This may not be held as a crime however in civil court it may well obligate the City and Sports Teams should there be a victim of the fireworks sold in Grand Terrace causing a problem Out of Grand Terrace.

Just some thought for the City Council for Next Year.


From the Press Enterpirze...... July 4th, 2007

As in Los Angeles, fireworks are banned in most Inland cities and unincorporated areas of Riverside and San Bernardino counties.


Fireworks labeled "safe and sane" can be bought and used in Adelanto, Chino, Colton, Fontana, Grand Terrace, Rialto, San Bernardino, Blythe, Coachella, Indio and Cathedral City.

In San Bernardino, fireworks can't be set off north of Highway 30.

Fireworks Report:

1:00 am: As expected and predicted after the Enforcement Hotline House had lapsed between Midnight and 1:00 am the loudest and biggest fireworks were set aloft. We fear that some folks saved their fun for Friday and Saturday coming up as a mid week party is difficult to manage work the next day. Please have the phone numbers handy, call in public drunkenness and fireworks this weekend. If you are a parent and have fireworks, don't leave them where the "Kids" can get them while you are at work.

9:30 pm Report in: Things got quiet and back to normal on Brentwood

8:30 PM Illegal Air Flying Bottle Rocket Type Fireworks and Boomers were reported in the area of Holly and Kingston. Brentwood is impassable due to "Safe and Sane" Fireworks being set off in the street.

Aren't Streets PUBLIC Property and not where Fireworks of ANY KIND should be lit according to the GT CODE?

Beware fireworks 10:00 PM PDT on Sunday, July 1, 2007 PE

A tinder-dry summer makes pyrotechnic restraint imperative for Inland residents this holiday week. Fireworks, even the legal kind, are too hazardous to play with. It is easy enough to celebrate American independence without risking wildfire, injury, fines or jail. A private fireworks display is not worth the risk of igniting a devastating fire. With less than four inches of rain this year and the forecast predicting temperatures in the mid-90s this week, the Inland region is prone to wildfire. But every year, some residents ignore sound advice. Firefighters in 2006 doused more than 100 blazes across the Inland region over the July Fourth holiday weekend, including a blaze in Grand Terrace that charred 425 acres.
*
Nor is a little Fourth of July fun worth the possibility of a criminal record. Police, county sheriffs and area fire marshals are stepping up enforcement on fireworks this year, and rightly so. Backed by tough county ordinances, authorities in San Bernardino and Riverside counties say they plan to take a zero-tolerance approach to illicit pyrotechnics this year. Violators risk fines of up to $1,000 and the possibility of one year in county jail. San Bernardino County last year collected more than $75,000 in fines from fireworks scofflaws.
*
While fines might not cover the costs of heightened holiday enforcement, such penalties send a clear message that illegal fireworks are not worth the risk. And fireworks, legal and illegal alike, can bring devastating injury. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Administration estimates that last year, 9,200 people nationwide got treatment in hospital emergency rooms for fireworks- related injuries. About 6,400 of those injuries happened during the 30 days surrounding the July Fourth holiday.
*
Celebrate Independence Day, by all means, with family and friends. And enjoy one of the dozens of professional fireworks displays across the region. But residents should avoid risky personal pyrotechnics this year and make it a truly happy July Fourth.

Dear Gramps :

There was an article in todays news paper that needs some more Data. In particular Mr. Brian Phelps of Grand Terrace's representations. OF California's 478 Incorporated Cities and 250 “Communities” Allow Fireworks. Hundreds or Thousands of Towns, and Un-Incorporated Communities are affected by those who promote the use and sale of Fireworks. The State of California pays for fire fighting when ever there is a large fire. If you rack up the cost of fighting fires caused by fireworks vs. the Cash Earned by the “Charities” and Youth Teams one has to ask is this wise use of funds, manpower and our means of celebrating America’s Birth with fireworks.

In Grand Terrace Fireworks were not a “Tradition” until relatively recently. The sale of Fireworks and the “Need” for funds is directly related to the “City Requirement of the Sports Teams to pay for Lights and Park Use”. It has no relationship to any other increased cost, or services being provided pre firework dependency.

The GT Little League’s Vice President has as much as said to the entire City Council they will not give up selling fireworks and not seek alternative means of raising funds unless and until the council forces them to do so. No such effort has been made, inspite of the High Fire Danger, and Last Years Pico fire, which was started with “Safe and Sane Fireworks”.

Brian Phelps statement in the News Today:

Hoping that red, white and blue make plenty of green are the Grand Terrace Little League and Grand Terrace Community Soccer Club. Splitting profits 50-50, the two youth groups are again joining forces to operate what is reportedly Grand Terrace's only fireworks stand, located near the Stater Bros. market at 22441 Barton Road.

"Through fireworks sales our league is able to keep registration fees low so we can teach more youth the great American pastime of baseball and maybe some life lessons along the way," said Brian Phelps, the local Little League's vice president and fireworks chairman. "It's not just about raising money for sports - it's also about preserving the tradition of celebrating America's birth with fireworks."

Perhaps the Liability of the Fire should go back to the team or city where the “Safe and Sane Fireworks” were sold if they start a fire or injure a person other than the “Adult who purchased it”. Perhaps the fireworks could have a code that would be traceable to the Stand and vendor so the State of California and County Fire Departments could be paid for their services. Not to mention the Hospitals and Dog Pounds. Perhaps it is Mr. Phelps's Employer the City of Grand Terrace that should look into the "Tradition" and go back to being a Community where fireworks are not allowed. Where 4th of July was spent at the point of Mt. Vernon watching the Orange Show Fireworks Show from lawn chairs. Not the drunken fire shows of the last two years.

Know the law
Which fireworks are legal, and where are they legal?

In some cities, it's legal to buy certain types of fireworks. In Adelanto, Chino, Colton (not including the Reche Canyon area), Fontana, Grand Terrace, Rialto and San Bernardino south of 40th Street, you might see some small fireworks stands. It's only legal to use those fireworks where it's legal to buy them, said CDF spokesman Bill Peters. The fireworks have to have a state fire marshal safe-and-sane seal, at left.

Typically, those are sparklers or the cones that send out colored sparks. Anything that explodes or flies through the air is illegal, Peters said. In some cities, like Colton, you could get fined $1,000 the first time you're caught breaking fireworks laws.

A few years ago, a couple of people skipping sticks of dynamite on a lake in Highland started a fire that ended up killing a firefighter fighting the blaze from a helicopter, Peters said.
Safety first

CDF spokesman Bill Peters has some tips to keep you safe when you use legal fireworks:
Don't let small children light fireworks.
Don't use an open flame to light them.
Don't put your face over the fire when lighting them.
Move away quickly after lighting fireworks.
If the fuse doesn't ignite, don't try again.

Keep a five-gallon bucket of water nearby, and after a firework is done burning and has cooled off, put it in water.

Public fireworks shows are safer
After an accident at a fireworks show in Marysville about seven years ago, the state enacted new restrictions on public displays, CDF spokesman Bill Peters said. A mortar landed in a girl's lap and exploded, causing her to lose a leg.

Peters said a fire official is at each display, and a fire engine is on standby. The people putting on the show have to be trained by the state fire marshal. The accident involving the girl happened at least in part because people were too close to the launching area, Peters said.

A little town called Pahrump

A small community with a funny name just across the Nevada border is the source of literally tons of illegal activity in California.

In Pahrump, it is legal to buy fireworks that aren't legal in California. The funny thing is that it's not even legal to use fireworks there - just to buy them.

Last year, a multiagency law-enforcement team targeting the roads from Pahrump cited more than 70 people carrying illegal fireworks and captured more than 90,000 pounds of the fireworks, said California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection spokesman Bill Peters.
People leave this Nevada town and head back through California by way of Baker, he said.
Depending on the amount of fireworks or powder violators are caught with, it could be a felony.

Is July 4 the wrong day?
Almost everyone calls July 4 "Independence Day," but it was two days earlier that the colonies actually declared their independence from the British crown. On July 2, the Continental Congress voted in favor of independence. So what happened on July 4? That's the day the Declaration of Independence is dated, even though it wasn't signed until August.

Cautious county clamping down on fireworks

"We just don't need fireworks to contribute to the already disastrous season we could have in front of us," San Bernardino County Fire Chief Pat Dennen said at a news conference at the checkpoint Friday afternoon.

...............................

So far this year, officials have seized 46,000 pounds of fireworks. They picked up 32 tons for all of last year, Dennen said.
A number of communities are increasing their efforts to prevent fires in the foothills and mountains through the holiday.

Last year, the Pico Fire in Grand Terrace was started by fireworks, Dennen said. No structures were destroyed, but it took more than one agency and a great deal of money to put it out.

Perhaps a Quarantine of Grand Terrace is Needed

QUARANTINE THE CITIES WHO SALE FIREWORKS.

The sheriff is putting up road side searches for fireworks at the foot hill of the San Bernardino Mountains. The real solution would be to Put Up Road Blocks and Inspection Points at every road leaving a city that sells Fireworks.

Of course this would cause those cities to have traffic problems... There is no discrimination check every car leaving a city that is exporting the risk of fireworks. There is reasonable cause for the search.

ON LINE NEWS: Fireworks WARNING

Letters to the Editor
Stop fireworks sales
Article Launched: 06/28/2007 12:00:00 AM PDT

We all know that San Bernardino has only had 6 inches of rain in the past year. We know that the brush, plants and grass on the hillsides north of the city are bone dry. Now, we have a batch of fireworks stores opened up in the north side of the city.

The fact that these stands are sponsored by service clubs, churches and charitable organizations doesn't excuse their presence, but it does reflect shamefully on these sponsors.

Over many years, I have talked to a lot of the people selling at these stands. Most don't want to be there. They would rather write a check to their organization than stand around in the hot sun answering questions from shoppers.

The "safe and sane" fireworks will injure many children, a lot of whom will wind up in our crowded emergency rooms.

I think all voters should let their mayor and their councilmen know that this must stop. Let's make this the last year San Bernardino sells fireworks.

From the Email InBox: Fireworks Logic

Dear Gramps,

I find it slightly ironic that this is posted on the Grand Terrace City website; This Fourth of July Put Safety First. It would be nice if the city put the safety of it's own citizens first all the time. Why only be safe on the Fourth of July? The city allows the sale and use of the fireworks for several days - not just one, so shouldn't they want us to be safe the entire time? Why do we only have a tipline for a few hours on the Fourth of July, why not for everyday that fireworks are permitted to be bought and sold?

Dear Email Writer:

Logic is not a strong suite of the actions of having Fireworks in Grand Terrace.

The Fire Department Position: We'd rather only deal with the Illegals.. a smaller problem than mixing Illegals and "Safe and Sane"

The Sheriff: It would be easier to enforce if the City allowed none, then all would be "Illegal".

2 of 5 Council Member said No.
1 said Yes with a Stipulation that the Teams try some other fund raiser... (Which they have not)
The council vote 3 to have Fireworks came with stipulations to the motion that should have been codified and they were not... so one could venture to say GT Code on Fireworks is in Limbo.

Let us hope that no one is burned out, no fires are started, no eye sight or limbs are lost to this folly. Let us hope that the tormented animals all get to their homes, and that the Issue will be put on the agenda again and the Logical Answer Prevails. Fireworks don't work...

This should be a state level issue not a local one, as it is the State of California who would battle a large fire, or have to pay medical costs for injury to uninsured people, not the City of Grand Terrace.

IF YOU WANT to know THE DETAILS CONTACT

"roxanne williams" <sciencesister@gmail.com>

****************************************************************************

The CJUSD School Board took an action against the AES POWER PLANT. It exercised its duty in issuing a statement against the construction of the AES Power Plant across the street from the planned High School #3.

The CJUSD has done something the City Council of Grand Terrace has not had the COURAGE to address. OH dare we forget it is City Manager Tom Schwab who will not put the issue on the Agenda for the Council to Officially Proclaim their Support or Non Support for the construction of a Power Plant across the street from the planned High School.

Recall AES "Supported" GT Days.... It that the price for non action by the City Council?

We saw what direction the wind blows with the Plastics Fire... Limited roads in and out of a campus, a Rail Road Line, and a Power Plant and A High School... It is time to ask High School or Power Plant.
From the Email InBox:
Many times contributors to this site have challenged the other Blog to look at documentation or to disprove documented information, which he criticized, instead of his attitude of the City can do no wrong.(Wife's employer) His lack of research of the AES plant and the School Boards decision not to support it, is the same we have seen from the inception of his personal opinion column. Opinion that is based on nothing more than opinion and never backed by documented facts. His website serves no useful public good. It is the echo chamber of Mr. Schwab's office. He should also apologize to the Grand Terrace City News. Unlike him, they check to see if there is documentation before they print a story. He should try it sometime. It all comes down to credibility. He has proven over and over he possesses nary a shred, even if you know his name.
From Gramps: He has apologized by writing a second post on the subject. The first post defaming Grand Terrace City News and Roxanne Williams has been removed.

City's Fireworks Sales Trailers Arrive:

Two Shipping Containers for Fireworks Sales have arrive and have been placed on RDA Land.

The City is Providing the Site for the Sale, The City is taking part of the Sales Price, The City is Encouraging the use of Fireworks. So why can't you use fireworks in a GREEN CITY PARK where it would be the LEAST Dangerous Place to use Fireworks?

Perhaps folks could enjoy the fireworks in the proximity of the homes of the City Manager and City Council Members and leave the rest of us in Peace. Take your fireworks to those who allow the sale and use of "Safe and Sane" Fireworks. Let them enjoy your "FUN", "Tradition:, and "Celebration".

Banish fireworks
Considering the history of fire and its devastation in the city of San Bernardino, I find it bizarre that city officials allow fireworks to be sold there. Being a longtime firefighter in the area, I can't tell you how many major fires I have fought in the foothills of San Bernardino. When a firestorm such as the Panorama Fire or the Old Fire hits San Bernardino, resources are in short supply and citizens have to fend for themselves. Southern California, particularly the Inland Empire, is a tinderbox waiting for an ignition source. Where is the leadership from our politicians, fire chiefs and firefighter unions on this public-safety issue?

The civic groups that sell fireworks as fundraisers should find some other way to raise money. Money spent by taxpayers fighting any fireworks-related fire in the mountains will far exceed any money made by a civic group.

Firefighters knock down a demonstration blaze in Banning. A legal sparkler started the fire.

So-called "safe and sane" fireworks -- which in my opinion are neither-- should be outlawed in the Inland Empire and, ultimately, throughout California. The short-term fun with fireworks is not worth the long-term heartache, financial burden and environmental disaster that come with the use of fireworks.

A 12-year-old boy was cited for using illegal fireworks that sparked a fire that burned through a quarter-acre field and caused $100,000 in damages to an apartment unit in the 17000 block of San Bernardino Avenue in Fontana, a San Bernardino County Fire Department release said.

About 25 pounds of fireworks were confiscated from the boy's neighbor, who supplied the fireworks and was also cited, the release said. There were no injuries, but the damaged apartment unit was rendered uninhabitable, the release said. Two people lived in the unit.

Both the boy and his neighbor live in the apartment complex where the fire occurred, the release said.

Fireworks blaze stirs firefighters' concerns
Stacia Glenn, Staff Writer
San Bernardino County Sun
Article Launched:06/27/2007 12:00:00 AM PDT

An electric burst of orange and yellow lines shot into the afternoon sky with a whistling sound, resembling a bolt of lightning striking the grassy field.
The bottle rocket exploded in the air with a loud bang and cannonade of sparks. It would have tickled the fancy of any 12-year-old boy starting Fourth of July traditions a little early - if it weren't for the fire that followed.

The boy wasn't expecting a light breeze to carry sparks from his fireworks fun through the grass and toss them under the wooden porch of a nearby apartment, but that's what happened Monday afternoon.

He stood in a quarter-acre field near his house, remnants of bottle rockets, firecrackers and mortars strewn about, and watched flames lick at his neighbor's one-bedroom apartment on San Bernardino Avenue in Fontana.

No injuries were reported, but the blaze destroyed the porch and living room before firefighters got a handle on it.

This, fire officials said, is exactly why many firecrackers are illegal and most are dangerous.

"We want to protect our community and the people that live in it from devastating fires that occur as a direct result of fireworks," said Mike Horton, deputy San Bernardino County fire marshal.

"You look at the county's history of wildland fires and there is great financial and life safety impact that requires us to take some action."

County firefighters have battled nearly 500 fires over the last five years that were ignited by illegal fireworks.

In 2005, an estimated 10,800 people nationwide were treated around the Fourth of July for fireworks-related injuries, according to the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. About 45 percent of the injuries were to children under 14.

Yet, children still play with fireworks. And it's adults who hand them over.

The boy's neighbor, whom officials declined to name, provided him with a supply of illegal fireworks. San Bernardino County firefighters found 25 pounds of fireworks in the man's home Tuesday morning.

He and the boy's parents were cited.

"Today's citations underscore our zero-tolerance policy regarding dangerous fireworks in San Bernardino County," Horton said. "We are aggressively locating and confiscating illegal fireworks & because they add an unnecessary hazard to an already dangerous fire season."

County fire officials, working with San Bernardino and Riverside county sheriff's deputies, have confiscated more than 53,000 pounds of dangerous fireworks worth $115,852.

It is not unusual for people to try smuggling illegal fireworks into the state from Nevada.

Aerial sky rockets, cherry bombs, mortars and other such explosive fireworks are illegal. But many cities in the Inland Empire allow so-called "safe and sane" fireworks.

"These have to be fireworks that don't shoot in the air; they don't blow up," said Frank Ojeda, a fire engineer in Colton. "You set them on the ground, they light and have some sparks and maybe some noise, and that's pretty much all they do."


FROM THE CITY WEB PAGE:

Grand Terrace Residents -Are You Prepared?
A dangerous fire season could be on the horizon
Do you have sufficient defensible space around your home? Have you cleared your yard of debris? It could be a matter of life or death if a fire hits your area. with fire season upon us, San Bernardino County Fire urges all residents to follow these simple steps to help protect your property:
Create a defensible area, firebreaks that divert flames around property, by clearing weeds and dry grass at least 100 feet around your home. Property on sloped areas should be cleared 100 feet as well, as wind-fed flames can race up hills and mountainsides quickly.
Store flammable liquids in approved safety cans away from occupied buildings.
Keep propane tanks clear of vegetation.
Keep all combustibles, such as firewood, lawn furniture, picnic tables, etc., away from structures.
Clean rain gutters regularly to avoid leaf and needle accumulation.
Clear vegetation and other flammable materials from beneath decks or other wooden structures.
Remove tree limbs and vegetation that overhang the roof.
Remove all branches lower than 6 feet.
Dispose of stove or fireplace ashes and charcoal briquettes after soaking them in a metal pail of water for 24 hours.
Keep garden hose connected to faucet.
Review your home escape plan with your family & have a fire drill exercise.
Ensure address is clearly visible from the street.
Contact your local fire station at 825-0221 for further information and free property inspections.
BE PREPARED
Defensible Space Saves Lives
San Bernardino County Fire Department wishes you a safe summer!

FIREWORK ALERT!!
Possession of any type of fireworks, including Safe and Sane, in any unincorporated area of the county, is illegal. Fireworks will be confiscated and citations may be issued. In the event a fire occurs due to the unsafe use of fireworks, the individual may be criminally charged and responsible for restitution.
Safe and Sane fireworks are only allowed in the incorporated cities of Adelanto, Chino,Colton (specific areas only, contact 370-5100), Fontana (city area only), Grand Terrace, Rialto and San Bernardino (specific areas only, contact 884-7248).
A startling statistic from the National Fire Protection Association states that on a typical 4th of July, fireworks cause more fires in the U.S. than all other causes combined. But because most people encounter the risk of fireworks only once a year, many Americans do not realize how great that risk is. In preparation for the 4th of July celebration, San Bernardino County Fire wants to remind you of some safety tips:
Always use fireworks (safe and sane) with an adult present
Always read and follow label directions
Always have water (garden hose/bucket) and a fire extinguisher within arms reach
Always place fireworks on a firm, non-combustible surface
Never alter fireworks
Never re-light “dud” fireworks
Homemade fireworks are deadly. Never attempt to make your own device. Leave the making of fireworks to the experts.
Never point, throw or mishandle fireworks
A sparkler, usually considered safe, burns at a very high temperature and ignites clothing easily
Fireworks are not toys. They can cause deaths, blinding, and other severe injuries.
Due to the severe fire season, the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors and County Fire encourages residents to partake in a locally sponsored 4th of July celebration and leave the firework displays to the experts.
For more information on firework safety, contact your local fire department.
Have a SAFE celebration!
Gramps says after you phone a complaint please watch for the responce, and report the time and nature of the call and responce time and responce to the blog grandterracenews@yahoo.com . Perhaps we will see if the "Increased Enforcement" is working.

Man arrested in High Desert slayings

A Grand Terrace resident was arrested Saturday in connection with the deaths of two people in the High Desert earlier this year, officials said.

Jose Garcia Alvarado, 37, was tracked to Pomona and arrested on two felony homicide warrants, said San Bernardino County sheriff's spokeswoman Cindy Beavers.

He had been charged in the March 28 slaying of Juan Sotelo in Adelanto and the May 25 shooting of Francisco Sanchez-Lemus at a Victorville apartment complex.

Detectives found Alvarado in a car on Garey Avenue with a large quantity of drugs, according to a sheriff's news release. He was booked into West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga on suspicion of two counts of murder and witness intimidation.

On the day of his arrest, Beavers said that Alvarado had told an ex-girlfriend who had cooperated with investigators that he was on his way to Huntington Beach to kill her and her family.

June 21st Meeting:
Intent to Approve EIR for the BMSV
Approval Given Questions Still Remain


Only thing on agenda for meeting of the G.T. Planning Commission for night of 21st was the new Senior Apartments in north portion of the city of G.T. The evening had a moderate attendance and folks kept dribbling in well after the other agenda items had been attended to. But, other than the applicants and the city, those in attendance were pre-conceived to be set in their ideas as to be "for" the proposed development or "against" it. Doubtful there was anyone in attendance who had not made up their mind beforehand.

Evening began with the City staff explaining the framework of the project, and then a couple of light questions by the P.C. Then the meeting was turned over to the applicant and a couple representatives were asked to stand before the podium. The representative on behalf of Corporation for Better Housing had expressed and showed examples of how similar projects have turned out in other communities like Bellflower, Wilmington, San Jose, Temecula and still other locations were presented. Representatives offered their specialized information from the Environmental Report on such subjects as before and after noise levels, traffic levels and landscaping revisions. The representatives on behalf of the application attempted to deflect interest by mentioning how each unit would have granite counter tops, extra closets, not too shaggy carpeting, etc. and went to great amount of time expressing such, but the public was not interested regarding the interior, they were concerned about the exterior.

After about 1/2 hour of this, the evening was opened up to Public comment. As mentioned, there were two points of view. Those who were for the project got up to the podium, spoke their viewpoint, and were then met with applause. Those who were NOT for the project got up to the podiums, spoke their viewpoint, and were then met with applause also. The only ones not receiving applause were the city staff and the Planning Commissioners. Virginia Hartford led those with an interest favorable to the project, and
Patricia Farley led those with opposite interest.

The public would speak, ask a question, or demand something, and the city staff or Planning Commissioners would remain silent for a minute or so, and then respond a couple minutes later. Although the 6.2 acre site is currently owned by the City of G.T. and is about 60% covered by the senior apartments, the other 2.6 acres is the be that of a park setting.

About 80% to 90% of the evening discussion pertained to that 60% area. Which ever way those in attendance, or not in attendance, have feelings about, or alternative views upon, it seems the city has once again walked in to a "Problem Project" which is unfortunate. Many in attendance wish such a project to be built, but just not in that location. A different location as mentioned in the EIR, where the General Plan Specifies on Barton Road, away from some of opposition. And thus the real question became should a Bigger Hammer be used to pound the project through to completion, or should there be a compromise developed on the chosen site?

Even with a recent approval by the court to proceed with the down scaled (revised) project, one point was brought up in that an appeal had been filed, and the project is not expected to proceed until this item is resolved.

As persons from the audience got up before the podium and talked, much of the discussion got divided. Many had a chance to go beyond the normal three minute time limit, and numerous times too, for there were a couple of repeats.

The main points of agreement were only the simple need for more affordable senior housing within the City Limits.

The main points of contention raised by the opposition essentially got down to a couple items. Even the members of the P.C. agreed with the opposition that certain items were not addressed in writing or pictures. Many of the items tie together in one way to another, and thus only in the mind of the speaker had some relationship.

1. The City staff mentioned how this project was going to incorporate new revisions to existing zoning and other city codes. It was brought up in that the State of California (Sacramento) had not approved such a development unless an equally sized private venture could also be done within the city. But this did not go over well with staff, for they had no such area in mind (and perhaps did not want a private venture to compete with the public one being discussed that evening). One such revision was the ratio of parking spaces per residence. The staff indicated that a ratio of 4 for 3 was appropriate in this instance. That is three parking spaces per four apartments. Generally referred to as a .75 ratio. New, and the only such development using such a ratio within the city limits. Comparison to other incorporated cities and the County of San Bernardino had also been discussed. No, no no, we already covered this. End of subject, lets move on to the vote.

2. The plans had been revised per staff recommendations to EXCLUDE any covered parking spaces. The city staff got left out of this discussion as this went back and forth as to a need for such via Commissioner Wilson, and the developer's representatives. It was pointed out that four months per year the ambient temperatures regularly exceed 90 degrees. Although this does not alter the ratio of parking spaces, it does alter the visible subject of the site. This became a topic in which persons coming before the podium would include into their expressions time after time. When a person made a comparison of acreage versus units as designed and approved in other near by cities, this fact was neatly omitted by the caveat that the was G.T. and things are not the same here as in other locations. No, no, no, staff already covered this. End of subject; let’s move on to the vote.

3. A few persons in the audience began to speak of the short term (during construction) and the long term noise impacts of the development with a cross reference to item two herein, new landscaping trees, concrete block walls, etc. A representative of the developer was present to discuss the noise levels, along with to receive the barbs of other environmental subjects. He stepped up to the podium a couple times, once at the direction of the P.C. to answer directly comments being made. It was pointed out that audio measurements had been done at the school when children arrive, and when they are picked up. Those levels are pretty low at present. The topic expanded regarding individual air conditioning units within each room and the noise levels therein created.

There was a statement of ambiguity by C.B.H. as to if the A/C was to be central in nature, roof mounted, or like a hotel on the outside wall. Yes, they do create a noise, but this combined with already ambient noise levels, a generous set-back to backyards to residences, more matched in than emphasized. This did not stop the topic of coming up time after time again that evening. Much as that noise from persons slamming the door to an automobile. No, no no, staff already covered this and is explained in the report. End of subject; let’s move on to the vote.

4. Landscaping also became a hot topic, in all of the ways associated with such, not only that skinny 15 gallon trees were specified by the City staff, but the applicant, members of the P.C. and others had already expressed bad experiences with these. The applicant was agreeable to revise to larger diameter trees, but this then lead to a situation of were at? Although little discussion was raised about such, the public park then became focused upon. The indicated park was pictured to be several pathways in amongst 15 gallon trees. Zero shade, or stopping off locations for a five foot tall, two inch diameter 15 gallon tree provides little shade, and since there is no place to sit down in the retrospective park, who cares. The P.C. rightfully asked for a complete revision to landscaping of the park area. Tied in to this discussion was the concrete block wall to be built around the perimeter. Should part of the exterior block walls have openings and then where should they be placed, for the plan does not detail. Then too there is a wall/fence to be built all along the street fronting the site, does this inhibit the public from using the Park, thus making the park only accessible to the housing residents? And as one local pointed out, if big trees are to be placed smack up against the perimeter wall are the current residents then expected to trim and maintain them? One resident pointed out how trees would ruin the winter and spring view of the San Bernardino Mountains currently possible. Much as of how a $25 tree will saw about $25,000 from value and asking price of residence in future. "No, no no, staff already covered this, didn't they?" End of subject; let’s move on to the vote.

The project representative then blubbered on how city staff had not given alternative views to such topics as raised during the evening to any of the noted subjects, but had instead mentioned over and over again how the project had once been approved in 2005, and that this two year old discussion and approval ought to hold. Placing a wall or wrought iron fence on all four sides to the public park, and making auto parking for families only available to those unused spaces within the senior center were dismissed. I think staff already covered everyone's concerns. End of subject; let’s move on to the vote.

It was also brought up by the applicant that a Public meeting concerning this project had additionally been scheduled back in January. Unfortunately he did not point out that it was cancelled also. This was emphatically expressed at the meeting by a few persons, but in the spirit of cooperation (and current escalating construction expenses), the intention to cooperate outweighed the results. A subsequent one was to be advertised (which it never did get), but two persons did somehow find out and attend. They were refused any input, for the project had "once been approved by staff, the P.C. (back in 2005) and by the
City council (in 2005)" and current on going revisions to the unapproved city general plan were in place and consistent with that. It had already been discussed -- by others. No, no no, staff can work this out later on. End of subject; let’s move on to the vote.

To the writer here, it was evident the majority of the emphasis of development thought was deflected upon the housing, not the public park for which each resident is expected to benefit from. For although this area is currently dirt and weeds, it was necessary for approval, right now it was valuable only for calculation purposes. Most comment made by persons at the podium regarding the public park were deflected, to be discussed later, but right now we need to concentrate and approve the senior center so that building can begin. The park is down the road a ways yet (End of subject, lets move on to the vote).

It looks at this time the City of G.T. City Council ought to kick back the Senior Center to the Planning Commission once again, not only due to the recently filed appeal, but to resolve the contentions and make the pictures more consistent with intentions. For now we have an ambiguity. The spoken word which at times does not get officially added to the minutes and agreements of the meeting, and to what the already drawn plans, pictures and presentations show. Patricia Farley pointed this omission has happened in the past, as did a Brentwood Street resident when it was pointed out the secret communication from Sacramento which was omitted for discussion (End of subject, lets move on to the vote).

One such Data Point is a significant change in the way the land is to be graded, (earth moving).

One thing that was shown via projector, to which was NEW, was they had a conceptual grading plan all ready prepared. This was not for public viewing at the public counter, but was there to be shown off just the same. Gary mentioned there was to be a twenty foot deep cut and embankment along the east property line (school), plus a retaining wall to boot. He made zero mention that the only entrance to the public park was to be down a steep slope, past the new Rec. hall, and not to ADA requirements. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. That was passed off when they mentioned the City Engineer was going to look over all plans then approve it all before going to council. As it was still early in the meeting, for no one had spoken yet, that sends up a flag to me and reads a pre-approved proposition.

CFBH wanted to divert the talk to be Flash on superficial aspects, some nickel and dime things like granite countertops, not expensive items like grading. Aim the conversation another direction. From what could be determine from their elevations and other cute pictures, the whole building was within a couple feet at the hip of the roofline to what was approved in 2005, the three story days. Simple, to save costs they just upped the pad heights, flattened out the structures. and said no one will notice.

This is either intentional retribution, a mistake, or an oversight by the P.C. for zero was said about this "Minor" revision. Later in the night there was a complaint expressed by Rep. from C.B.H. they had spent too much on grading already, and did not want to revise the general plans for the units to include a step in the roofline. I know it is cheaper to build a multi-plex over a flat graded parcel and take the barbs from the neighbors, than to keep low and build with minimal vertical heights. We are talking of adding $30,000 in extra grading with those huge slopes and very high rooflines, instead of about $100,000 in notching the roofs to keep low. I would expect a fight on this little matter from C.B.L. for immediately they will insist on "Can't afford it", Cost overruns, too expensive, etc. My thought then is either you chose the wrong site and should have bought into a flatter parcel, or you did not think ahead to incorporate such in to your design. If you get a bigger hammer, eventually they will pound down the neighbors. A three story tall building is now two stories, but near to same elevations. It can be done for it is easy.

It was public comment and demand, which lead to the revisions of the original concept of 2005. This scaled the development from a 160 unit three story project that had been considered minimum for economic expenses, to the 120 unit proposal which is considered minimum for economies of expenses. Perhaps public comment is good, otherwise the area would be under construction for 160 units, parking of much smaller quantity, and the scenic value to residents blocked by three story building. (End of subject, lets move on to the vote) I think that the P.C. may have been correct overall in their vote, but left a lot of things hanging which will be forgotten in one or two months, except by the residents of Brentwood street. Remember the intentions outweigh the results.

Use what you need of this, for the meeting exceeded two hours before coming to a preconceived vote. People were walking out of the chambers before the vote. This
P.C wasn't about to listen to the public. Wonder what is up for next P.C. meeting of the 5th?

Mesa County - Fatigue may be a factor in a one-vehicle rollover on Interstate 70 that killed a 64-year-old Grand Terrace, Calif., man and seriously injured his wife, authorities said.

The crash occurred about 3:51 p.m. Wednesday when Wade Henry Wallace, while driving his white Toyota pickup, drifted off the edge of the roadway and over-corrected, causing the truck to roll numerous times, Colorado State Patrol officials said. He suffered serious head injuries and was dead at the scene.

His wife, Ruth Diane Wallace, was rushed by ambulance to St. Mary's Hospital in Grand Junction in serious condition, authorities said.
