More than 33% of the graduating physicians will perform their residencies in the Inland Empire and 78% are matched to programs in California, according to a news release.

Match Day is the culmination of the National Resident Matching Program, in which all graduating medical students seek residency positions in their chosen specialties. At the same time across the country, this year at 9 a.m. Pacific Time on March 15, graduating medical students learned where they will spend the next three to seven years of their lives.

“Medical school is rigorous and challenging every day. But Match Day is the most emotional and fulfilling day of the medical school journey,” Dr. Paul Lyons, dean and president of the California University of Science and Medicine, said in the news release. “It is the culmination of years of study, commitment and intensity. It is the next chapter in their journey to becoming caring and compassionate health-care providers.”

At the California University of Science and Medicine, graduating students and their families gathered on campus for Match Day, to celebrate with their colleagues.

Of this year’s graduating medical school class of California University of Science and Medicine, 89 class members were matched to residencies in California, and of those, 38 were matched to residencies in the Inland Empire, according to the news release.

The top specialties chosen include internal medicine, family medicine, emergency medicine and psychiatry.

“I am ecstatic that so many of our students will remain in the Inland Empire and Southern California communities to continue their medical journey,” Lyons said in the news release.

California University of Science and Medicine is a not-for-profit health sciences university established in 2015 through a private-public partnership with Arrowhead Regional Medical Center as its teaching hospital, San Bernardino County, the city of Colton and Prime Healthcare Foundation.

Shackled and wearing a green jail jumpsuit indicating he has been isolated from the general population at the West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga, Christopher Bingham appeared before Judge Colin Bilash in San Bernardino Superior Court.

Bingham, 45, is charged with 10 felony counts, including grand theft of a Remington 870 shotgun — reportedly stolen from the Sheriff’s Department — and possession of a machine gun, a short-barreled AR-15 assault rifle, two explosive devices and four gun silencers. He is being held on $240,000 bail and was ordered to return to court April 18 for a preliminary hearing.

Each charge against Bingham includes a gang enhancement alleging the crimes were committed “for the benefit of, at the direction of, and in association with a criminal street gang,” in this case, the Mongols outlaw motorcycle gang.

Bingham, an 18-year veteran of the Sheriff’s Department, was arrested on Thursday, April 4, at his home in Twentynine Palms, where a March 23 raid by sheriff’s investigators yielded 160 firearms, explosive devices and Mongols paraphernalia, including a fully-patched leather vest, according to the Sheriff’s Department and sources close to the investigation.

Clutching a white motorcycle helmet as he left the San Bernardino Justice Center following Tuesday’s proceedings, Bingham’s attorney, Jeff G. Moore, declined to comment, other than to say, “The preliminary hearing should be interesting.”

Asked to elaborate, Moore, a former Riverside County prosecutor, said, “I guess we’ll have to wait and see.”

Background checks

The criminal case against Bingham isn’t his first brush with trouble from his own department.

In late 2019 or early 2020, Bingham came under suspicion for improperly using the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System, or CLETS, to conduct criminal background checks. The Sheriff’s Department referred the case to the District Attorney’s Office to potential charges, but county prosecutors turned the case down in January 2020 due to insufficient evidence, district attorney’s spokesperson Jacquelyn Rodriguez said Tuesday.

Rodriguez could not confirm whether Bingham had allegedly misused the CLETS database to conduct criminal background checks on customers at his former gun shop in Twentynine Palms, O’Three Tactical.

O’Three Tactical gun shop

Bingham, a former Marine, operated O’Three Tactical from 2015 through 2021 near the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, on Twentynine Palms Highway, east of Adobe Road.

With its proximity to the military base, O’Three Tactical was popular with Marines and law enforcement officers from as far away as Downey and Newport Beach, according to a former employee who asked to not be identified.

The employee, who described Bingham as a dirt bike enthusiast who rode a Kawasaki motorcycle and drove a Jeep, said the gun shop sold firearms and magazines to and did repairs for the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department as well as other agencies.

“Everything we did was legit,” the employee said. “It was really by the book. … (Bingham) was teaching us the right way. Everything was certified.”

Bingham would kick people out of the shop for wearing the “colors” of an illegal motorcycle gang or smelling like weed, and also participated in fund-raisers with the Sheriff’s Department and conducted gun raffles, said the former employee, who left in 2017 and described Bingham’s arrest as “off-putting.”

Bingham shuttered O’Three Tactical on June 23, 2021.

“After being unable to maintain any kind of inventory and hemmoraging (sic) my own personal finances over the last year trying to keep our doors open, O’Three Tactical will be permanently closing its doors,” Bingham said earlier that June in a post on the gun shop’s Facebook page.

Origins of raid

The March 23 raid on Bingham’s home stemmed from an ongoing sheriff’s investigation into his activities that began in January and culminated with his arrest earlier that day on the westbound 10 Freeway in Beaumont. A source close to the investigation said Bingham and another man were riding Harley-Davidsons when a California Highway Patrol officer pulled them over for speeding.

The man Bingham was riding with was wearing a black leather vest with Mongols patches, according to the source.

The CHP officer, according to the source, seized from Bingham an unregistered Glock 9 mm handgun he had in his possession, and Bingham identified himself as law enforcement. A sheriff’s deputy who had followed Bingham and his friend from Yucca Valley arrested Bingham and booked him on suspicion of being a gang member carrying a loaded firearm. Bingham subsequently was released from custody.

A Sheriff’s Department news release said Bingham was riding with two other “outlaw motorcycle gang” members — not one — at the time of his first arrest.

Outlaw motorcycle gangs

The U.S. Department of Justice lists the Mongols among a group of outlaw motorcycle gangs, or OMGs, “whose members use their motorcycle clubs as conduits for criminal enterprises.” The Justice Department characterizes them as “highly structured criminal organizations whose members engage in criminal activities such as violent crime, weapons trafficking, and drug trafficking.”

The United States is home to more than 300 active outlaw motorcycle gangs ranging in size from single chapters with five or six members to hundreds of chapters with thousands of members, according to the Justice Department.

And the outlaw motorcycle gangs often clash, typically triggering law enforcement investigations.

Last month, authorities in Stanislaus County arrested four men and seized drugs, guns and bomb-making materials as part of a months-long investigation into outlaw motorcycle clubs. The investigation began last year amid violent altercations between dozens of members of the Hells Angels, Mongols and Salida Nomads.

The 27-year-old is scheduled to be arraigned May 2 on two counts of domestic battery and a count each of spousal battery, false imprisonment and assault at the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center in Los Angeles, court records show.

An attorney for Urías didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking comment on the charges.

The charges were filed with the court on Monday, said Ivor Pine, deputy director of communications for Los Angeles City Attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto.

In January, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office declined to file a felony case against Urías and instead referred the matter to the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office for consideration of whether a misdemeanor case was warranted.

Urías, who became a free agent at the end of the 2023 season, was arrested Sept. 3 by police in Exposition Park following a much-publicized soccer match between LAFC and Inter Miami — featuring star Lionel Messi — at BMO Stadium. He posted bond and was released the next day.

The alleged victim in the case was Urías’ wife, according to a District Attorney’s Office charge evaluation worksheet in January.

“They engaged in an argument whereby the defendant pushed the victim against a fence and pulled her by the hair or shoulders,” according to the document. “Neither the victim’s injuries nor the defendant’s criminal history justify a felony filing. The case is accordingly referred to the city attorney for misdemeanor filing consideration.”

Urías was placed on administrative leave by Major League Baseball days after his arrest, and the Dodgers issued a statement saying the team was cooperating fully with the investigation.

“The Dodgers take all allegations of the kind in this case very seriously, and we do not condone or excuse any acts of domestic violence,” the team said.

MLB said in a statement Tuesday that its investigation is ongoing but declined to comment further.

A conviction on the spousal battery, domestic battery or false imprisonment means up to a year in county jail or a fine or both jail time and fine, according to Pine.

The assault charge carries a sentence of up to six months in county jail or a fine of up to $1,000 or both, he said.

The fine for spousal battery is up to $6,000, up to $2,000 for domestic battery and up to $1,000 for false imprisonment, Pine said.

Urías was 11-8 during the 2023 season with a 4.60 earned-run average. He began his Major League Baseball career with the Dodgers in 2016, and has a lifetime record of 60-25 with a 3.11 ERA.

He was suspended for 20 games in 2019 by MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred for an incident in the parking lot of the Beverly Center on May 13 of that year. TMZ reported that a witness called police saying that Urías was arguing with a woman and shoved her to the ground. Officers responded to the scene and spoke with the woman, who denied anything physical took place, insisting it was nothing more than a heated argument.

Urías was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor domestic battery in that incident, but no charges were filed.

But to his horror, the vintage sedan rolled down the ramp and into about 20 feet of water, becoming fully submerged.

“He was very emotional,” Canyon Lake Fire Chief Jeff LaTendresse said.

The Fire Department received a call from the property owners association just before 8 a.m. Security workers had noticed an oily sheen near the eastport launch ramp and reviewed surveillance recordings for clues. They saw the Packard disappear completely from view beneath the surface, LaTendresse said.

Unaware that no one was inside, Canyon Lake firefighters, noticing bubbles as well as oil, requested assistance from Cal Fire/Riverside County Fire Department and the Riverside County sheriff’s dive team.

The car’s owner showed up around 8:20 a.m. and told them that the car was unoccupied, LaTendresse said. It was towed from the lake after several hours. Riverside County environmental health workers were called to the lake to handle the clean-up.

The owner could not be reached for comment, but a person who specializes in classic cars said the mishap had to have shocked him.

“You have a mini heart attack. Definitely a pride and joy,” said Pedro Gonzalez, the automotive curator at Carey’s Fine Automobiles in San Bernardino.

He estimated the value before the submersion at $25,000 to $40,000, depending on how much of the car remained original.

Gonzalez said he wasn’t sure how the car could have gotten loose. He said most cars from the 1930s have pull-handle parking brakes. The car could be difficult to save, noting the interior being saturated with water. The wiring — whether it was original or current material — could also be a factor, Gonzalez said.

“It was like his baby,” LaTendresse said.

This made national news, including the New York Post, Forbes, USA Today and the Washington Examiner (headline: “Murrieta police sent to Lego jail”).

Now HBO’s “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” has piled on. Oliver opened his March 31 show with a few jokes about police use of Legos.

“Well, that is shocking for a number of reasons,” says Oliver. “One, that they were doing it, and two, that Lego was mad at them, because it is one of the most pro-cop toy franchises I’ve ever seen.”

California police agencies since Jan. 1 have been barred from releasing photos of people arrested for non-violent crimes. The suspects haven’t even had their day in court, remember. Murrieta got creative by obscuring their faces with images of emojis, Shrek and then Legos, to generally positive reactions on Instagram.

“But that’s not the police’s job at all,” Oliver asserts. “There is a reason they have mottos like ‘to protect and serve’ and not ‘to protect, serve and get to 1 million followers. Please hit like and subscribe.’”

Well, maybe. But I can see how the Murrieta Police Department might be a little confused by this criticism. Usually comedians tell police to lighten up. Here’s a comedian telling police to be more serious.

More Oliver

The Murrieta jabs came almost a year to the day from Oliver’s last Inland Empire reference. In a March 2023 segment on a federal welfare program, he digressed for three minutes to mock a Riverside County-commissioned batch of “work-ethic” songs in the 1990s that were played to callers on hold.

OIiver described one song as a mating of “We Are the World” with “a cheap motivational poster.”

Hey, maybe that reflected local sensibilities. Riverside County wouldn’t take inspiration from some gold-plated-Cadillac motivational poster, you know!

Fried day

Friday, always the busiest day of the week for me, was extra hectic last week. With most of my Sunday column left to write, I interrupted my day to drive to Corona to give a lunch talk to the Rotary Club.

One of my first comments from the lectern was to ask how many of the 30 community-minded people in the room had read my column that morning, which by coincidence was about Corona. Only two or three had.

I chided everyone else and read it aloud, explained how I’d come to write about the filming of 1953’s “The War of the Worlds” in their city, and then talked more generally about the state of newspapers and my own passion for my role.

To the club’s credit, they took the teasing well, listened actively and asked good questions. By the end, a few people said they’d subscribe. I’d put that in the win category. Thanks, Corona Rotary.

One of the subscribers in the room, by the way, was Ross Newhan. The former baseball writer, who retired to Corona, was celebrating his birthday that very day. At age 87, he made this 60-year-old feel like a kid.

Lunch concluded, I drove back to Ontario to resume work on my column on the California Jam rock festival. With that accomplished by 5 p.m., my afternoon ended with my finally reading my morning newspapers. Then I drove home to Claremont.

That, however, wasn’t the end.

A student protest was taking place at Pomona College. We didn’t have a photographer or reporter available to go.

I ambled over from my house and took photos of students being arrested and led to a jail transport vehicle by police in riot gear. Notepad in hand, I faithfully transcribed some of the protest chants and passed those along to an editor for inclusion in a news story.

Reading her Sunday paper carefully, Tammy Woodman of Upland, for one, noticed my twin efforts.

“So on the same day,” Woodman phoned to say, “you write about the 50th anniversary of a rock and roll concert and also a political demonstration at Pomona College. Well, you certainly are becoming the college of knowledge for the Inland Empire.”

All in a (rather long) day’s work. It was more stressful than usual, but strangely fun.

Cecil “Chip” Murray, the prominent Los Angeles pastor who died April 5 at age 94, got his start in the Pomona Valley. He graduated from the Claremont School of Theology in 1964 and from 1964-1966 pastored Primm Tabernacle Church, a tiny Black congregation in Pomona said to have had just seven members. How small was it? For his pulpit, Murray used his sister’s dresser.

The overnight closures of all southbound lanes of the 101 between Chesebro Road and Liberty Canyon Road in Agoura Hills will start at 11:59 p.m. Monday, April 15 and continue until Tuesday, April 16 at 5 a.m. Caltrans plans on closing the southbound lanes overnight Mondays through Fridays for several weeks. On Saturdays, they will reopen a little later.

The overnight closure of the southbound lanes will continue for several weeks to allow workers to begin building a crane on site. Once work is completed in the southbound operations, Caltrans will then close the northbound lanes overnight in the same section to allow for large girders to be put in place to form the skeleton of the wildlife crossing.

Caltrans said the overnight closures allow crews to place 82 large concrete girders above the freeway lanes. Each girder weighs between 126 tons and 140 tons. They will reach from the center median to the shoulder of the freeway.

Overnight freeway closures will last between six and eight weeks, said Eric Menjivar, Caltrans spokesperson. But those timelines could be extended depending on circumstances.

All lanes will be closed in only one direction each night and lanes in the opposite direction will stay open for traffic, Caltrans said.

Caltrans will provide a detour on local streets during the overnight closures.

Motorists can bypass the work zone by staying on an all-freeway detour using State Routes 23 and 118 and Interstate 405.

To learn more about the freeway closures, the public is invited to attend an in-person community meeting on Thursday, April 11, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the Community Room at Agoura Hills City Hall, 30001 Ladyface Court, Agoura Hills.

The meeting will include representatives from Caltrans, city of Agoura Hills and the National Wildlife Federation, a leading supporter of the project.

The 175-foot wide wildlife crossing will connect two mountain lion roaming grounds, the Santa Monica Mountains and the Sierra Madre Range. In essence, it removes the wide freeway as a barrier, allowing mountain lions as well as bobcats, deer, coyotes even birds and butterflies to safely cross, going from the Santa Monica range into the Simi Hills and Santa Susana Mountains to the north of the 101 Freeway.

Big cats trying to cross the freeways have resulted in more than 35 mountain lion deaths. The most famous cougar, P-22, miraculously crossed the 101 and 405 Freeways and made Griffith Park his home for 10 years until his death in December 2022, ironically from a vehicle-strike.

The mountain lions, or cougars, are hemmed in by the 101, 5 and 405 freeways. These big cats are trapped, forced to procreate with cousins in a limited gene pool that produces diseased offspring. Scientists estimate that without a larger range in which to mate, the unique Los Angeles urban lions could be extinct in 15 years.

Construction of the wildlife crossing began in 2022. Construction was delayed last year and this year due to spring rains, said Beth Pratt, California regional executive director for the National Wildlife Federation and founder of The Wildlife Crossing Fund, in an emailed response on April 8.

“The two record wet springs in a row have now pushed the completion date from the original projection of the end of 2025 into 2026,” Pratt wrote.

She asked commuters and residents to be patient during the overnight freeway closures.

“We are calling these ‘closures for cougars,’ ” Pratt wrote. “We know that closures of the freeway do have impacts on traffic and the community, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but know people understand these closures are for a good cause — helping to save the area mountain lions from extinction and ensuring a future for all wildlife in the Santa Monica Mountains.”

The public can sign up for free weekly email updates about the wildlife crossing’s construction and closures by sending an email to michael.comeaux@dot.ca.gov or D7inquiries@dot.ca.gov or calling (213) 897-9372.

Travelers may check current highway closures anytime by using Caltrans’ QuickMap service at Quickmap.dot.ca.gov or using the free app for digital devices.

The series premieres April 14 on Max and is based on Viet Thanh Nguyen’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name. It’s an espionage thriller about a half-French, half-Vietnamese communist spy during the final days of the Vietnam War and his new life as a refugee in Los Angeles.

The 626 Night Market, which is named after the San Gabriel Valley area code and is modeled after the night markets in Asia, will aim to take people back to Vietnam with a handful of Vietnamese food vendors such as All Dat Dumpling, All Dat Noodle, Café 949, Ridges Churro Bar, and The Ugly Bao serving their grub April 13 and 14.

“We hope people will come through the weekend of our show premiere and celebrate Vietnamese and AAPI (Asian American Pacific Islander) stories and food and culture,” said JR Tungol, a marketing official for the series.

The weekend will include Vietnamese-American DJs Demonslayer and Annalog spinning tunes both days and a performance by Vietnamese-American artist Dolly Ave from 7-10 p.m. on Saturday, April 13. There will also be “The Sympathizer” photo booths recreating the streets of Vietnam and the world of the series.

“The purpose really with this is to get Vietnamese people, AAPI audiences really excited about seeing themselves on the screen and seeing themselves reflected in our show,” Tungol said.

The 626 Night Market is at 1324 5th Street, Santa Monica. It’s free and open from 1-10 p.m. April 13-14. Free tickets can be reserved at 626nightmarket.com

“I think the Inland Empire is the backdrop of this band,” said guitarist and vocalist Kevin Martin in a recent Zoom interview, who says that the group finds ways to incorporate the area “into everything.”

The Inland Empire city of Rialto was home to Martin and his brother, the band’s bassist Tony Martin, and Rialto profoundly influenced the thematic elements of the psychedelic-soul group’s upcoming sophomore album, “Sounds Good,” which will be released on Friday, April 19. The band kicks off its West Coast tour in Los Angeles on Thursday, April 18, and follows up with a second Southern California show at Pappy & Harriet’s in Pioneertown on Sunday, April 21, before embarking on the tour’s European leg.

The recording of “Sounds Good” was a bittersweet experience for the Martin brothers. As they wrote the album, their parents decided to sell their childhood home in Rialto. Despite not living there for years, the space held a special place in their hearts. The loss and the inability to return to their childhood sanctuary seeped into the album.

“It was uprooting, and when I was writing some of these lyrics for “Peach Optimo,” I was reminiscing about what it was like to be over there, and a lot of that was on my mind,” Martin said, “I think a lot of the album is tied to loss and the gains that come from loss, starting over, new chapters and new beginnings.”

The Martin brothers’ musical journey began in their childhood home, where they regularly listened to radio DJ Art Laboe’s show. Their father, a gospel soloist, introduced them to the rich sounds of oldies, soul, funk, and R&B. Their Grandpa Juan, a talented saxophone and clarinet player, sparked Tony’s love for blues and jazz.

These diverse influences, combined with the deconstruction of their formal music education and meeting drummer Eric Hagstrom in college, laid the foundation for the unique sound of Brainstory. But like many local Inland Empire bands trying to hit their big break, they were initially confined to a music scene limited to backyards and DIY spaces.

“There are no real venues other than small bars and coffee shops here and there,” Martin said. “I didn’t really grow up playing any ticketed events. I mean, there is the Glass House, which exposes people to some up-and-coming and more established acts, but it’s arguable that Pomona is even in the I.E. But I believe it is, culturally.”

Despite their love for these intimate settings, they yearned for a professional breakthrough. In 2014, they made a necessary move, relocating to Long Beach when Burger Records and Lollipop Records were booming, and garage and surf rock dominated Southern California’s music festival scene.

“We didn’t exactly fit into that mold or that scene, but we definitely entered through there,” Martin said. “We found a home in Long Beach because it was more down to earth and something that we were used to as friends in a community playing music together. Long Beach has a strong sense of musical community.”

In 2019, the band released their first album, “Buck,” produced by Leon Michels, the leader of the soul project El Michels Affair and co-founder of Truth & Soul Records and Big Crown Records. The group said that “Buck” was their first time recording in general, let alone in a studio. They were also still getting acquainted with Michels but said they’ve developed more chemistry as a team, built their own studio in Long Beach, took everything the group has learned from crafting their first album, and carried it into the recording of “Sounds Good.”

“It’s been a culminating process,” Martin said. “With ‘Sounds Good,’ we’ve been stepping into our own sound that sets us apart from most of what’s going on right now.”

“Sounds Good” is indeed a step forward for the band, with substantive tracks that illustrate the group’s musical and lyrical growth. The album’s soulful ballad, “Too Yung,” begins with a melancholy acoustic guitar and nostalgic lyrics that yearn for events of the past.

Other standout tracks include “Hanging On,” a groovy melodic soul collaboration with alt-indie singer-songwriter Claire Cottrill (aka Clairo), adding a layer of soft backing vocals that serves as a nod to the oldies but goodies heard on the rest of the album and throughout their music. While these genres help shape their sound, it doesn’t define it. Martin said that part of the mission of their work is to take their influences and modernize them with more depth.

“When you are open to adding different elements to classic styles like R&B and soul, you get a new sound, and we do draw from these old influences, but we’re not doing it to cosplay an older time or even a sound like Motown,” Martin said. “We don’t want just to do the same old ‘Baby Baby, I love you’ type (stuff). There’s a lot more going on in the modern world, and the music has to reflect that. (We’re not) dissing other bands that only do that oldies sound, but we’re trying to move forward and see what’s ahead.”

The Coroner’s Office on Tuesday identified the men as Fontana residents Mauricio Juarez, 38, and Guillermo Morales, 41.

Someone reported seeing what they thought was an abandoned white sedan in a brushy area bordered by homes and the Oak Quarry Golf Club around 3:15 p.m. Monday. Deputies found the car, which had damage from an apparent collision, said Sgt. Wenndy Brito-Gonzalez, a sheriff’s spokeswoman. They later discovered two men who were pronounced dead at the scene.

It was unclear how long the car had been there and whether the car had collided with another.

“The circumstances surrounding the incident are currently under investigation,” Brito-Gonzalez said.
