Fallen military hero sparks donation to Barstow Veterans Home

Representing Pacific Gas and Electric Company, Jimmy and Anna Stricker of Apple Valley delivered donated supplies to the Barstow Veterans Home. In October, the company donated a large number of canvas bags with personal hygiene products for the veterans staying at the home. Veterans home officials said the generosity of the Strickers and PG&E directly impacts their ability to honor the veterans, and the gifts were heartwarming. “We are so fortunate to have PG&E as a neighbor in our community; your support of our veterans sets a remarkable example. Thank you,” veterans home officials said. In honor of Louie “My husband is a program manager, and it was his idea to use the donated items and support here locally to Barstow Veterans Home,” Anna Stricker told the Daily Press. She added that most donations are sent to Sacramento, the Central Valley and the Bay Area. “But my husband right away thought of my late dad, Louie Basura, and his patriotism and wanted to honor that by remembering the veterans,” Stricker said. Stricker’s father, Louis S. Basura of Apple Valley, was an Air Force and Korean War combat veteran who also served with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department. During his

San Bernardino Co. Pays Hammerking $250K for Barstow to Needles Trail

San Bernardino County's board of supervisors voted Tuesday to give Hammerking Productions $250,000 to develop an off-road vehicle corridor running from Barstow to Needles . The company, which stages the King of the Hammers races in Johnson Valley each year, will use the money for planning, development, and evaluation of the route. The supervisors approved the contract unanimously as part of the consent agenda, a list of items passed with a single vote. The county had originally set the $250,000 aside in its budget to support legislative efforts aimed at enabling an off-road race from Barstow to Needles on public roads, with the stated goal of boosting regional economic activity and tourism. Tuesday's action redirected that money to Hammerking for the corridor project instead. Recreation, Not Racing, Says Hammerking CEO Reached by telephone after the meeting, Hammerking CEO Dave Cole said he has no plans to turn the corridor into a race. "This is purely recreation. We're just trying to get access to people," Cole said. "I have no desire for, nor do I think that area could ever support, racing." What the Contract Covers Under the contract, Hammerking is tasked with evaluating opportunities to connect existing legal routes, public

'First visitor' at new freeway overpass for wildlife in California

The Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing in Southern California is still under construction, but at least one large critter has already discovered its value as a safe corridor above a major freeway. On October 28, according to the National Park Service, a motion-sensor camera captured a photo of "our first wildlife visitor" on the southern slope of the crossing, which spans the 101 Freeway at Liberty Canyon in the Santa Monica Mountains. As you might have guessed, the animal in the image is a coyote. "And that's just the beginning," Santa Monica Mountains National Park continued via Instagram . "In the coming days, NPS biologists will install remote wildlife cameras to track how mountain lions, bobcats, coyotes, mule deer, and other animals approach and eventually use the crossing. "The goal? To reconnect wildlife habitat in the Santa Monica Mountains and Simi Hills, long divided by one of the nation's busiest freeways, and study how this connection benefits wildlife for years to come." The Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing , scheduled to open December 2, states on its website that the project is designed to "reconnect a fragmented landscape for all wildlife and pull the region's cougars back from the brink of extinction."
