Joshua Tree couple accused of keeping their 3 children in a box In the epic Colonies case, prosecutors from the District Attorney’s and plead not guilty SCNG state Attorney General’s offices alleged Rancho Cucamonga developer Jeff Burum, former county Supervisor Paul Biane, former Assistant Assessor Jim Erwin, and Mark Kirk, former chief of staff for former county Supervisor Gary Ovitt, engaged in an elaborate bribery scheme to fix a historic $102 million settlement between the county and Burum’s investor group, Colonies Partners LP, in November 2006 in exchange for bribes. The settlement ended a longstanding flood-control dispute between the county and Colonies Partners. More videos: The vindicated defendants maintained their innocence from the beginning, alleging the prosecution was politically motivated. In February 2010, Ramos and then state Attorney General Jerry Brown held a news conference announcing the Colonies’ case as the “biggest corruption scandal in county history, if not the state of California.” Ramos was re-elected District Attorney that year and Brown was elected governor. Ramos denies the case was politically motivated. The former defendants have taken legal action against the county and state. And on March 1, Colonies Partners filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the county and state in U.S. District Court in Riverside. https://www.sbsun.com/2018/03/12/san-bernardino-county-district-attorney-breaks-silence-on-colonies-corruption-case/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter[3/12/2018 7:46:55 AM] San Bernardino County District Attorney breaks silence on Colonies corruption case – San Bernardino Sun Stephen G. Larson, attorney for vindicated Colonies corruption case defendant Jeff Burum, said District Attorney Mike Ramos is “throwing his subordinates under the bus” and distancing himself from the bungled bribery case. Hits and misses Despite the failed Colonies prosecution, Ramos touted the successes of his office and the Attorney General’s Office, including the conviction of former Rancho Cucamonga councilman and Assessor’s Office employee Rex Gutierrez, who was sentenced in December 2010 to two years, eight months in prison for stealing $147,000 in taxpayer money in the form of fraudulent pay and expenses from March 2007 to January 2009. Another win for prosecutors, said Ramos, was the attorney general’s prosecution of former county Supervisor Neil Derry, convicted of a misdemeanor for failing to properly report a $5,000 campaign contribution he received from a Highland developer in 2007. Like the vindicated Colonies defendants, Derry believes his criminal case was politically motivated because, while serving as county supervisor, he pushed to trim the district attorney’s budget and eliminate take-home vehicles for its investigators. “Ramos uses his office to pursue and charge his political adversaries for minor infractions. In my case, he had the attorney general charge me for one, single campaign violation that was actually properly reported, after I had him investigated for sexual harassment that cost taxpayers $140,000,” Derry said in a statement. Initially charged with two felonies, Derry entered into a plea agreement with the AG’s Office, pleading guilty to the misdemeanor count. His conviction was subsequently dismissed and his probation terminated. Ramos was cleared in 2010 of sexual misconduct allegations by former investigative technician Cheryl Ristow, who claimed to have had an affair with Ramos from September 2003 to February 2005. A six-month investigation by an outside law firm determined that Ristow’s allegations were unfounded, and that she had a history of disciplinary action at the DA’s Office. Ethics and integrity Ramos stands by his office’s record of ethics and integrity. He maintains the Colonies case was completely above board and justified. He stressed, https://www.sbsun.com/2018/03/12/san-bernardino-county-district-attorney-breaks-silence-on-colonies-corruption-case/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter[3/12/2018 7:46:55 AM] San Bernardino County District Attorney breaks silence on Colonies corruption case – San Bernardino Sun however, that he was not involved in the case on a day-to-day basis. He said his focus was cracking down on gang crimes and human traffickers and working to reform the death penalty, leaving the Colonies case to the team of prosecutors assigned to it. “The people who are attacking me about that case think that I was involved in it on a daily basis. The team was put in place years ago,” Ramos said. “So I want to make it very clear that people who may have thought I was involved in that on a daily basis, I was not. I had trusted my team.” Stephen G. Larson, attorney for former Colonies defendant Jeff Burum, interpreted that as Ramos trying to distance himself from the case. “It is sad that, after years of politicizing the Colonies prosecution and using it as the basis for his re-election campaigns, Mike Ramos is now running from it, is claiming that it was not a ‘priority,’ and is throwing his subordinates under the bus. This is not leadership or justice,” Larson said in a statement. Rajan Maline, attorney for former defendant Jim Erwin, blamed Ramos for “destroying the reputations and causing untold financial and emotional trauma to these good men.” “If Ramos is asserting that he RELATED ARTICLES was not involved on a daily basis then we would have to San Bernardino County DA implies challenger is a puppet funded by former add irresponsibility to the list Colonies defendants of faults,” Maline said. “The fact is that this was Ramos’ Colonies Partners files federal lawsuit described ‘biggest case in San against San Bernardino County, top state officials over corruption case Bernardino history.’ If he wasn’t involved on a daily More than $100 million sought by basis, he should have been.” vindicated Colonies corruption case defendants Deputy District Attorney Doug Poston, a prosecutor of more than 20 years and president of the San Bernardino County Public Attorney’s Association, called the allegations against Ramos “hogwash.” “You have to try the tough cases, that’s how it is, and sometimes it doesn’t always turn out the way you want it to,” Poston said. He said the PAA’s 200 prosecutors formed their own committee that endorsed Ramos for a fifth term in office. “We believe in Mr. Ramos – his ethics and his integrity,” Poston said.

The legal challenge was decided in 1944 in the City of San Bernardino, California and desegregated city parks and recreational facilities, specifically the Perris Hill “plunge” or pool. The decision of this case set precedent for other local desegregation challenges, including the much more celebrated Mendez v. Westminster decision in 1947, and eventually had influence on the landmark Supreme Court decision of Brown v.

  • The Program Narrative
    B. Section II: The Program Narrative San Bernardino Valley College Student Success Project 1. San Bernardino’s Successes and Challenges San Bernardino Valley College (SBVC) serves a student population of nearly 27,000, the majority of whom are minorities. Nearly 48% of students identify themselves as Hispanic. A federally designated Hispanic Serving Institution and Minority Serving Institution, the college has considered the issue of effectively serving the large number of diverse students one of its top priorities. To that end, the college currently offers nine programs targeting student success and academic achievement: • Tumaini • The Puente Project • Valley-Bound Commitment • Extended Opportunities Programs and Services (EOP&S) • Success Through Achievement and Retention (STAR) • California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWorks) • Middle College High School (MCHS) • Foster & Kinship Care Education (FKCE) • Math and Science Student Success Center (MSSSC) A number of these programs are well established and have been shown to significantly improve student grades, transfer rates, and graduation rates. The most pressing challenge facing the college, however, is meeting the incredible demand for services while grappling with year-to- year funding cuts as a result of the California state budget crisis. College administrators and student services staff are invested in not only improving existing services, but expanding them, to reach the greatest number of students and to assist them in attaining their educational goals. For this reason, San Bernardino College is applying to be a part of the 2011-2012 Walmart AIHEC HACU NAFEO Student Success Collaborative. For Hispanic students, core values of sharing and networks of relationships are keys to their success and lend themselves well to collaborative and experiential learning settings.
