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

The Becerra era and Raman’s ‘earthquake’ in LA

TRANSITION BEGINS — In the five months between Xavier Becerra ’s come-from-behind primary victory and his general election win, he and his circle could deflect questions about his coming administration. California can only have one governor at a time, they said, and he wasn’t taking anything for granted. But now that voters have officially made him their next governor, everyone in Sacramento is racing to get some answers about what comes next: Who will Becerra hire and appoint? Which interest groups will be ascendant? What policies will he prioritize? The lobbyists, union officials and legislative leaders at his victory party offer some hints. Among the VIP’s circulating in West Sacramento were Becerra team members, including campaign hands Robbie Abelon, Kyle Layman and Lindsey Cobia — an erstwhile top Gavin Newsom deputy — and unofficial counselors like Arsenio Mataka, a former aide from Becerra’s attorney general days who focused on environmental issues. As we’ve noted elsewhere , Becerra’s sphere also includes adviser Courtni Pugh, longtime aide Liz Saldivar, veteran politico Karen Skelton, and policy adviser Nicole Elliott (another Newsom alum). Some of Sacramento’s most powerful interest groups did not endorse Becerra until it was evident he’d prevail. That made his early
