The Positive Effects of Judo

Helping Mrs. Bobo

Recently the Claremont Courier reported on efforts by Arin Allen, a Claremont High School Alumni, who is raising money for a former CHS teacher, Ruth Bobo. Mrs. Bobo has $4,800 of monthly home healthcare costs not covered by her Medicare.

For Medicare, home healthcare is only provided when there are signs that the person’s condition is improving. If there is no improve-ment, then the home healthcare is considered custodial care. Long term care insurance is the only insurance that pays for custodial home healthcare, but it must be purchased before a person needs it.

Thankfully there is a support-ive community taking donations for

Mrs. Bobo. “This is certainly the first time

something like this has been done in Claremont in my memory,” said Rich Ede, a former CHS teacher who has taught almost as long as Mrs. Bobo. “Claremont High School alumni have been involved with other staff members on a per-sonal level, but I don’t remember anything like this being organized before.”

The goal of the 92’ CHS alum-nus is to raise $72,000 to offset 25 percent of the 24-hour home healthcare and medication costs for five years. He also wants to have

This philosophy is self-improve-

Mrs. Bobo remain home through her 80th birthday; a home she has lived in for the last 40 years. Al-len spent many hours starting the Save Mrs. Bobo! Campaign.

“Mrs. Bobo was always a pop-ular teacher,” said Ede. “She was usually available after school and I often saw many kids just dropping by to talk with her. I was only brief-ly in the English department, but we were both on the staff for most of my 34 years there. She was a pleasure to work with.”

What Do You Run For?nt and giving back to society with character and courage. Sensei Gary Goltz has always made this a priority. With almost 50 years in Judo and half spent with his judo club. He is also president of the United States Judo Association and has met many people nation-ally and internationally.

He has even presented a post-humous award to the wife and family of Jeremy Glick. Glick was a former collegiate judo champion who helped commandeer Flight 93 on 9/11 to prevent hijackers from crashing into their intended tar-get. Goltz, as the USJA president, awarded a 10th degree blackbelt to the Glick family in 2008 at the Shanksville, Pennsylvania crash site.

Currently Goltz has 150 stu-dents that include “tiny tots,” kids and adult classes that can go up to age 60 plus. Goltz students come from many different backgrounds, professions, education levels and physical abilities.

Goltz Judo has yearly dem-onstrations including Quakes and Clipper games. Any fans of Conan O’Brien probably saw Goltz’s judo “correction” video to Jack Black.

Goltz has been using his judo since he was 14 years old. It is no wonder that his club has been ranked one of the largest USJA clubs for over a decade. His class-es are a wonderful way to help our youth gain confidence and become outstanding citizens that care about their community.

Is cross-country running the new big sport? The Claremont Cross Country People of Clare-mont High School have been seen running through the streets of Cla-remont since the 1980s. Large groups of high school kids in CCCP shirts can be seen running around, building up their endurance.

Many see cross-country run-ning as cross training for soccer or basketball players. A closer look shows that cross country running is a competitive event. Both the boys and girls Claremont High School teams won the Sierra League Fi-nals.

Their win has led their varsity team to make the California Inter-scholastic Federation preliminary races with the possibility to ad-vance.

Rob Lander is the head CCCP coach and all he knows is that something good is going on with the program and the kids are glad

to be a part of it. “Kids are excited about doing

something hard, quite frankly. It’s a sport that demands a lot from the athlete physically and mentally and for whatever reason kids are into that right now, which is positive. With all the negative things that they could be doing, playing video-games or what not, certainly cross country is blowing up right now which is neat.”

They had 190 kids in the sum-mer but had to reduce the number to 136 since only two buses could shuttle the athletes.

As for the Claremont Cross Country People name, Lander said the joke started in the 1980s when there was a Communist Rus-sia. He was a part of the team in the late 80s/early 90s and said it’s funny since some Claremont resi-dents they see during runs can re-late from when they they ran cross country during days gone by.

Lending a Helping Hand

Terminating Traffic Cams Has Been A Good Thing

With traffic cams gone, are the streets safer to drive, or are they the same? It’s been 1-2 years since many cities, including Upland, have terminated their traffic light camer-as. Since then, there still have been no significant collision increases.

Originally, the idea was to have a system that could issue citations to cars that ran red lights. By the time a car runs a red light in a busy intersection it can be difficult for of-ficers to chase them, so cameras were installed to help discourage red light running and reduce colli-sions.

Upland Police Lieutenant Eleno Arriaga weighs in on when traffic cams were in Upland.

“When we initially had the cam-eras we thought they’d reduce them [accidents]. The red light collisions stopped but rear-enders increased. Another issue with the city was it was costing us a great deal of mon-ey.”

Although Arriaga cannot give cur-rent stats for accuracy, he hasn’t personally seen particular increas-es in intersection collisions where the cameras were pulled. As for how many red lights were ran, they don’t keep exact statistics since the only time red light running is taken into account is when there is a re-sulting collision.

Arriaga said a lot of cars run-ning red lights caught by cameras were usually making rolling stops

Budget cuts make it hard for the city to monetarily handle commu-nity service needs, but for the past year Upland’s Community Service Council has done just that.

A more pressing issue has been aiding the homeless at local parks such as Memorial Park. At first, many churches did not want to work with the city since they believed the city was trying to va-cate the homeless from the parks. Despite that, more support has re-turned as a result of church mem-bers becoming active in the group. Now church donations are largely

organized through the Community Service Council and churches are happy working with the city, accord-ing to Director Roberta Knighten.

“We formed our service council last December, and that was one of the first projects people identified they wanted to work on; in some way working on the homeless situa-tion in the city.”

Knighten said monthly calen-dars coordinate group efforts. This coordination is done by Community Service Council President Beverly Nelson. She coordinates meetings with all groups and decides what

for right turns. Even with issued citations the cameras were cost-ing more to operate than they were bringing in.

Police officers could spend en-tire shifts in charge of monitoring and evaluating citations racked up by cameras. This detracted from having officers out on the streets where they could be preventing other crimes. For this reason and many others, traffic cams are no longer in use.

resources are needed and equally divides them. Other groups include Kiwanis Clubs, Rotary, Mayans, San Antonio Hospital and more.

“Everybody that gets service and everybody that needs service gets together on this council and we coordinate our efforts,” said Nel-son. “We’re not showing favoritism towards one group over another.”

Food drives and family shelters help the homeless, but the council also meets other needs as well. In December, the Spark of Love Toy Drive helps needy children. Janu-ary will be donations for baby blan-kets in hospitals, along with Upland Animal Services offering low-cost rabies vaccinations and licensing. School supplies and backpack do-nations are year-round.

The group meets at the Carn-egie building basement every third Thursday. To give a helping hand with their efforts, information can be found on Facebook or e-mail ucs-cemail@yahoo.com.

A Brief History of the Dale Bros. BreweryDale Bros. Brewery is a brother-

run brewery in Upland where Andy does the business and Curt does the brewing. Both share unique and award winning brews that attract locals and even professionals from businesses within the area who’d like an afternoon brew from a barrel in their taproom. Here, one barrel

will go in a weekend. They brew three times a week

with three fermenters. The brew-ing takes a day but the actual beer takes two weeks with the fermenta-tion and conditioning. For Decem-ber, expect to see their Winter Haze holiday season brew. Their flagship beer though is the Pomona Queen Amber Lager that can be had year-round.

Located in an industrial park off of Foothill Boulevard near Monte Vista Avenue, they serve patrons at their bar and at their outside patio.

Andy started brewing after col-lege in the late 1980s. Curt brewed before and then got back into it when Andy started brewing. Both brothers were previously in soft-ware programming and high tech items for years. With their brewery ambitions on the side, their first big step was Curt going to brewing school in 1999. He sold his first keg of beer to Pizza N Such in Clare-mont in 2003.

Andy and his family lived in Boston for some time, but then moved back in 2007 to help expand the family business.

“It’s a really fun thing to do,” said Andy. “It’s also hard. Quite frankly the hardest thing I’ve ever done. It’s been a ton of work, but it does have its really fun days. And people obviously really do appreci-ate the beer around here.”

Andy said they differ from most west coast brewers since they fo-cus on lagers over ales. Lagers are more drinkable as session beers

with less alcohol and hops, and customers can have more in one night. They do also offer seasonal ales. They sold their first one last year.

The Growing Interest in Mixed Martial Arts

Wal-Mart to Become a Supercenter

Last minute Christmas shop-ping will plague some locals and many will turn to Wal-Mart. Being open 24 hours is a life saver. They may also be pleased to know that Rancho Cucamonga will eventu-ally supersize it’s Wal-Mart into a new Wal-Mart Supercenter. The an-ticipated building location would be at the northeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and Mayten Avenue in the next few years.

Wal-Mart plans a 253,000 square foot shopping center to in-clude a 185,600 square foot Wal-Mart store with an outdoor garden center, a drive through pharmacy and 67,400 square feet for retail and restaurant use. The project site would be approximately 28.6 acres.

Wal-Mart submitted these plans months ago. The blueprints also in-clude a Route 66 monument as re-

quired by the city’s Route 66 Visual Improvement Program.

Senior Planner for the City of Rancho Cucamonga Donald Granger said that this program has been around for over a decade.

“In our city we have Route 66 icons. We have visual improvement programs that require [builders] to incorporate features for any new developmental building over vacant property,” said Granger. “These

Mixed martial arts is a sport that is still evolving and gives athletes another shot at competition, star-dom and making money as a pro-fessional athlete. It’s also a great form of self-defense.

Steve Lara is the MMA man-ager and operating partner of Mil-lennia Mixed Martial Arts in Rancho Cucamonga. There he helps book

fights for his athletes and sees pretty broad reasoning of why guys come into the sport.

“For the most part from what I’ve seen is a lot of them have been prior athletes; either wrestlers, soc-cer players or football players. They are athletes that didn’t do some-thing with their athletic ability; then here comes mixed martial arts,

features have to be consistent with a Route 66 theme.”

The largest Wal-Mart is cur-rently in Albany, New York. It is a two story fully loaded Wal-Mart Supercenter that opened in 2008. A more current design is one from Chino Hills as shown in the photo. Residents may soon find out what all the buzz is about to have a Wal-Mart supercenter with a new look and features.

Are Local Gas Stations Profitable?because it’s an evolving sport right now there is no superior or domi-nant athlete yet since everyone’s still evolving.”

Thus, many athletes can still come from various backgrounds and succeed. Lara said most have skills as jiu-jitsu black belts, former division 1 NCAA wrestlers and guys with pro-boxing hands who compet-ed at pro-boxing or pro-muay thai levels. Lara also said that athletes are drawn to MMA for the limelight, the rush of adrenaline walking into the cage, and the adrenaline of hearing the cheering crowd.

Athletes also get paid. Fifty per-cent of Lara’s athletes are signed with organizations like Strikeforce, Vale Tudo Japan or local organi-zations like Submission Promo-tions and the Inland Empire Strikes fights. Some had brief UFC stints.

For those interested in other reasons to learn MMA, Lara teach-es kids classes and women’s class-es. Lara also teaches clients who just want individual skills like boxing or jiu-jitsu, but have the option to in-clude them with other disciplines for full MMA training. He recommends learning MMA as a whole since in-dividual fighting skills are too one dimensional by themselves.

Encompassing the full MMA ex-perience and doing lots of technical training and sparring is the hands-on approach Lara said is needed to succeed, and Millennia is all about proper training whether it’s kids, adults classes or the fighters.

Rancho Cucamonga has seen its share of gas prices going up and down. This would make any-one think that gas stations must be making a huge profit off of their customers. It may be surprising to know that profits are not so much from the gas, but have always come mostly from the mini marts.

“Gas station franchises are rarely listed very long and go fast,” said Transworld Business Broker Kevin Matthews who frequently markets in Rancho Cucamonga. Matthews said that many business brokers make careers out of the niche of gas station franchises.

According to USA Today fran-chises only make pennies on each gallon of gas. The majority of profits come from snacks and beverages that are purchased.

“The more convenient the lo-cation the easier it is for people to be impulsive buyers when they see things they like,” said Matthews.

Location is key for gas stations.

Ideal locations our major intersec-tions, or near freeway on ramps and off ramps.

Often times when gas stations close down it doesn’t necessarily mean that people weren’t pulling in to buy gas, it may be that no one was buying snacks from their mini marts.

Even 7-Eleven franchises with-out gas stations are popular. Shane has one in Alta Loma off of Base-line. “They’re pretty easy to start and the franchises start at around $80,000,” said Shane.

He did say that 7-Elevens with gas stations will cost a bit more and start at around $1-2 million easy. They are good investments, but can be a lot of work as Shane said ev-ery 3-5 years the gas pumps have to be cleaned which can be costly. So the next time you are pumping gas and the prices are high, do not blame the gas station owner, he is probably unhappy with the prices too.

The holidays should be a time to celebrate and share time with family and friends. Unfortunate-ly, the winter months are also one of the busiest seasons for illness and injuries. In fact, the Consumer Safety Commission reports that injuries related to holiday decorations send more than 12,000 people to the emer-gency room each year. Keep your family happy and healthy by following these common sense health and safety tips:

Use proper equipment to hang decorations. When hanging in-door or outdoor holiday decora-tions, use sturdy stepstools and ladders instead of standing on furniture or makeshift structures to get the job done.

Never leave a room with a candle or fireplace unattend-ed. While children are fasci-nated with the flames from a decorative candle, one wrong move and it can easily be tipped over. Keep candles away from children, pets, walkways, trees, and curtains. Watch the fire-place too--a runaway ember from burning wood can quickly

start a fire in the room.

Don’t burn wrapping paper in the fireplace. You may think you are doing Mother Earth a favor, but some metals found in certain ink pigments in wrap-ping paper react with heat and could cause a chemical reac-tion. Burning pieces of paper can also float up the chimney and start a fire.

Give your space heaters some “space.” These should be placed at least three feet from beds, curtains, or anything flammable.

Holiday plants can be poison-ous. Mistletoe, holly berries, and Christmas cacti are all poi-sonous if swallowed, so keep them away from small children and pets.

Keep a fire extinguisher handy. More cooks in the kitch-en can mean more opportunity for potholders and towels to catch an open flame. It’s always a good idea to keep a small kitchen fire extinguisher handy in case it is ever needed.

Handle and prepare food safely. As you prepare holiday meals, keep your family safe from food-related illness. Wash hands and surfaces often. Avoid cross-contamination by keep-ing raw meat, poultry, seafood, and eggs (including their juices) away from ready-to-eat foods and eating surfaces.

Eat healthy, stay active, and manage your stress! The holi-days don’t need to take a toll on your health. Seek balance and moderation. Keep a check on over-committing and over-spending. Make sure to fit in at least 2 or 3 hours of exercise a week.

Most importantly, slow down and enjoy the season!

2012 HIGH SCHOOL WRAP-UPBy Matt Bustos

with the fall now slowly turning into winter, it is time to look back on what was a wonderful high school football season. There were plenty of surprises along the way, as new coaches start to forge identities and legacies with new teams and seasoned veterans look to build on previous success. As turkeys and Christmas lights replace jack-o-lanterns and trick-or-treaters, we look back on what was an outstanding season for Southern California high school football.

Sports News

Alta Loma Braves 4-6 (0-5 League)What looked like a promising sea-son at the beginning turned into a rough 2012 for the Braves. A five game losing streak to end the season is definitely not what head coach Joe Szczepanski had in mind. After a rough few years, however, Alta Loma looks to be a program on the rise. Junior Marcel-lus Hunter will look to improve on his 7-touchdown performance next season, as there are plenty of rea-sons to be optimistic for the 2013 edition of the Braves.

Etiwanda Eagles 4-6 (2-3)The Eagles finished the season with identical 2-3 records in both non-league and league games. Fu-ture Oregon State Beaver Jordan VIllamin hauled in 10 touchdown receptions while Austin Alexander

led the team in tackles. They will need to replace experience on both offense and defense, but Stephen Bryce will do his best to make sure Etiwanda can return to prominence.

Glendora Tartans 3-7 (1-4)After finishing at the bottom of the Baseline League, Jerry Lewallen and his team will look to rebuild for 2013. Senior Cade Lindsay was Mr. Everything for Glendora this year, as he was able to amass 1,700 yards and 17 touchdowns on offense in addition to his 42 tackles on defense. The top 2 tack-lers for Glendora will be back next season as junior Dillon Fink and sophomore Zach Lewallen hope that this is the last time they will finish at the bottom of the heap.

Los Osos Grizzlies 5-6 (3-2)Coach Tom Martinez will be sad-dled with a losing record in 2012, a feeling he is not used to. After losing to Centennial in the playoffs,

he is hoping that 2013 will bring along brighter days. Senior Victor Bolden ended the season leading the team in receptions, and quar-terback Stephen Johnson will be looking to play on Saturdays next season. Do not expect the Grizzlies to be down for long as they look to prove 2012 was a fluke.

Rancho Cucamonga Cougars 10-2 (4-1)The Cougars ended the season on a high note, winning four straight heading into the playoffs. Nick Biaz and his team cruised through the first two rounds of the playoffs and are up against powerhouse Vista Murrieta in the semi-finals. Plenty of Cougars will be heading to play for major programs as Chris Hawkins has signed on to play for USC, while both A.J and Viliami Latu will be suiting up for the Arizona State Sun Devils. With so much talent leaving, it will be interesting to see if Biaz can keep the Cougars on the right track.

BASELINE LEAGUE

21

.UPLAND HIGHLANDERS 12-0 (5-0)The Highlanders are once again sitting on the top of the Baseline League as they capped of a perfect 10-0 regular season. After two play-off wins, Tim Salter and his team have a tough task ahead of them as they travel to play Centennial for the right to move on to the cham-pionship game. Upland once again has a handful of college players in the fold as defensive backs James Johnson (Arizona State) and Del-vin Batiste (San Diego State) will be taking their talents to the bright lights of major college football. De-fensive end Joe Mathis has college coaches licking their chops as the senior has been wreaking havoc in the trenches all season. With a big test coming soon, it remains to be seen if Upland can finish what they started.

SIERRA LEAGUE

Ayala Bulldogs 6-4 (2-3)In his third season at the helm, Ran-dy Reams has collected his second straight 6-4 mark. Senior Jordan Robinson was able to eclipse the 1,000-yard rushing mark and ju-nior QB Brian Meyette will look to build on recent success. The Sierra league is not an easy one and Aya-la will look to get back to the top of the heap.

Charter Oak Chargers 10-2 (5-0)While the season did not end well after a playoff loss to Rancho Cu-camonga, Lou Farrar and company have nothing to be ashamed of as they outscored their opponents by a 2-1 margin. Receiver Bryce Bobo will be a Buffalo next year as he

heads to Boulder to play for Colora-do. Even though the season did not end as they had hoped, the Char-gers had several bright spots in-cluding 26 touchdowns from senior Aaren Vaughns. Junior QB Kory Brown will be back next season to attempt to keep the tradition alive at Charter Oak.

Chino Hills Huskies 7-3-1 (4-1)Ending the regular season riding a four game winning streak, the Huskies were defeated in the first round of the playoffs by the Red-lands Terriers. Chino Hills will have a tough time rebuilding as many of their offensive leaders this season will be graduating, including QB Matt Simko and RB Louis Napoles. The defense will have leading tack-ler Connor Wilson back as he looks to lead coach Derick Bub’s 2013 squad deep into the playoffs.

Claremont Wolfpack 3-7(1-4)After two above .500 seasons, Mike Collins and Claremont took a step back in 2012, ending the sea-son on a three game losing streak. Many of the primary contributors on offense, however, will be back next season as the leading passer (Craig Meyers) rusher (Cecil Flem-ing) and receiver (Baron Franklin) will all be back looking to turn the program around.

Damien Spartans 5-6 (1-4)

Damien started strong this season but was unable to finish the same way in a Sierra League that has become one of the toughest in the area. Travion Boykins finished out his high school career with 800 rushing yards and receiver Josh Savage finished with 9 scores. Damian has a lot of work to do re-placing both of them as well as the other graduating seniors.

South Hills Huskies 6-5 (2-3)Albert Rodriguez had a successful first year at the helm for the Huskies as he has the team above .500 for the first time since 2009. After re-placing legendary coach Steve Bo-gan, Rodriguez has breathed new life into a team that is a traditional powerhouse in the area. While they lost to dominant Vista Murrieta in the opening round of the playoffs, the team has nothing to hang their heads about. The team has plenty of young talent as they look to be-come top dogs once again in the Southern California football scene.

Meet Your Neighbors

909: How long have you guys lived in Rancho Cucamonga?

The Whitakers: A little over 2 years.

909: Why did you move to Ran-cho Cucamonga?

Richard: I had a job offer here and we liked the idea of living in south-ern California with the year round warm weather and fun things to do.

909: How do you like living in Rancho Cucamonga?

The Whitakers: We love it here! It’s a nice, clean city and there are so many fun things nearby. Plus, you can’t beat the weather.

909: What could be done to im-prove your city?

The Whitakers: We have 3 little kids, so shades over the parks for the summer months would be nice.

909: How did you two meet?

The Whitakers: We first met at church and began hanging out with each other’s roommates. After a couple of times hanging out we hit it off and the rest is history!

909: What made you fall in love with her?

Richard: I was first attracted to how beautiful she was. Once I got to know her I realized that her beauty was much more than just physi-cal. Angie is such a loving, caring person. She is always concerned about the well being of others and she is just a good, honest person. She’s beautiful from the inside out!

909: What made you fall in love with him?

Angie: I loved how outgoing he was and that he could eat more food than me! Since we met at

church it was important for me to feel a spiritual connection and I felt that quickly with Richie. I could tell from the beginning that he was a good man that would make a good husband and father someday. I have found that to be truer than I ever imagined!

909: Tell us one thing your wife does that annoys you?

Richard: When she’s pregnant she likes to chomp ice and the sound of it drives me crazy! Other than that, basically nothing, she’s a very non-annoying person.

909: Tell us one thing your hus-band does that annoys you?

Angie: He leaves his clothes in a pile on the bedroom floor. The truth, though, is that he doesn’t really annoy me and that’s part of what makes our marriage so great. We don’t let the little things get to

The Whitaker Family of Rancho Cucamonga

us and don’t look for reasons to get annoyed with each other.

909: What do you two do for a living?

The Whitakers: Richard is an au-diologist. He works with individu-als with hearing loss and balance/dizziness issues. Angie is a stay at home mom with three little kids. She also has her own photography business, Angie Whitaker Photog-raphy, where she specializes in weddings and portraits.

909: Do you think your job is challenging?

Richard: My job is challenging in that I am busy and constantly work-ing hard to help improve the qual-ity of life for individuals with hear-ing loss and dizziness. However, I don’t find it challenging in any neg-ative way. I love what I do.

Angie: Being a stay at home moth-er definitely has its challenges. It isn’t always easy caring for three children ages 4 and under all at the same time but it is the most reward-ing challenge and I wouldn’t trade it for any other job in the world. Besides being a mother, photog-raphy is my passion. The biggest challenge with my photography business is finding the time to edit photos and continuing to learn and grow in my photography knowledge and skills.

909: Tell us a little bit about your family?

The Whitakers: We have been married for 6 years now and we have 3 children. Mylie is our old-est daughter and she is 4 years old. She loves princesses and candy. She loves to dance and be silly. Michael is our 1 ½ year old son and he loves music, dancing, and playing outside. He also loves his sleep! Emmy is the newest edition to our family. She is just 4 weeks old and although she keeps us up at night she is absolutely per-fect. Richard is originally from Utah

and loves BYU football and basket-ball. He earned a bachelor’s de-gree from BYU in Communication Disorders and earned a doctorate in Audiology from the University of Arizona. Angie is from Utah, Ari-zona, and Oklahoma. She was an elementary school teacher for 5 years before having children of her own. She loves the outdoors and being with family and friends. We are a very religious family and we find that it is our faith that brings us so much happiness in life.

909: What do you guys like to do together?

The Whitakers: Eat out! We also like to watch movies together and hang out with our friends who also have little kids.

909: How did the kids affect your life when they were born? The Whitakers: Your world chang-es from revolving around yourself to revolving around your kids. The majority of your time is now spent providing for the needs of your chil-dren and you have much less time to do things for yourself. It has

taught us great lessons in patience, humility, and love. We are better people because of our children.

909: Tell us something unique or special about your kids?

The Whitakers: They all have blonde hair and blue eyes and we don’t think they have any chance of having any other eye color as their parents and both sets of grandpar-ents all have blue eyes. They are the cutest kids in the world! For the kids:

909: Tell us something both your parents do that annoys you?

Mylie: When they tickle me!

909: If you could move anywhere in the world, where would it be?

Mylie: Hawaii, because it’s pretty! 909: Do you guys like our maga-zine?

The Whitakers: We’ve just learned about it and now we can’t wait to read it in the future!

Rancho Cucamonga recently invited 909 Magazine to cover the event of the 5th Annual Great California Shakeout on October 18th. City Hall joined 9 million people statewide to prepare for the aftermath of a large-scale simulated earthquake. This occurred eleven days before the catastrophic events from Super Storm Sandy that hit the East Coast. Now the training can be appre-ciated even more as disaster threats should never be taken lightly. Schools, businesses, non-profits, govern-ments, neighborhoods and organizations in California took part in the world’s largest earthquake drill organized by the Earthquake Country Alliance. A special training program by the city known as the Community Emergency Response Team was also brought more into the limelight with this event.

“An incident like Sandy is a perfect example of where CERT can be of assistance,” said CERT Program Man-ager Breanna Medina. “We can expect the same type of damage on the West Coast out of an earthquake; just no water. While anything that large will be very complex in nature, CERT can prepare neighborhoods beforehand and assist with response.”

This earthquake drill placed a simulated 7.8 magnitude earthquake in Rancho Cucamonga that ended up creat-ing over $400 million in damages. The simulation was determined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Hazards-United States (HAZUS) da-tabase to create an earthquake on the Southern San An-dreas Fault. This is the most likely place to cause the next major earthquake. According to a city press release 13 special studies and six expert panels by the United States Geological Survey also contributed to damage es-timations.

The damage that would have rocked Rancho Cucamon-ga was widespread water and power outages for seven days, 14 deaths and 333 moderate to severe injuries. Moderate damage would be done to 1,293 single fam-ily homes, 286 commercial buildings and nine schools. As for the mess; 116,000 tons of debris would have ac-cumulated. The aftermath would produce $405 million in losses.

At the end of the drill a simulated news briefing was car-ried out by Mayor Pro Tem Sam Spagnolo as part of the city’s emergency response protocol where he announced the damage from the 7.8 earthquake.

“I hope we don’t ever hold a real briefing of this nature,” said Spagnolo. “However, exercises and training like this prepare our employees and public safety personnel to assist our community during the event and also help them recover more quickly after a disaster.”

In addition to using the city’s emergency response proto-col there is also a city program called CERT that was put to use. Previously discussed in last month’s city news, this program is open to interested residents who would like to be trained by first responders on how to survive when paramedics and firemen are spread too thin when disaster hits.

According to Breanna Medina, all city facilities participat-ed in the Great California Shakeout for the drop/cover/hold-on portion of the drill and totaled approximately 500 people. After this, CERT got to do some of their search and rescue training as well as first aid.

“We took the opportunity to go the extra mile and actu-

The Shakeout, Are You Prepared?

ally closed City Hall for 30 minutes to perform an ad-diexercise our Public Information function,” said Medina. “These were tactical drills designed to familiarize our city CERT team and public officials with their roles and re-sponsibilities during an actual incident, before the inci-dent occurs.”

Rancho Cucamonga got to show off their CERT program and demonstrate the importance of such programs for large scale disasters. Whether it be earthquakes on the West Coast or using an example of the unfortunate Su-perstorm Sandy that hit the east, being prepared is key. Superstorm Sandy hit with crippling force that caused flooding, massive property damage and power outages and led to an estimated $50 billion in damages and 110 reported deaths by early November according to the Los Angeles Times. The effects of a large-scale earthquake like Northridge in 1994 resulted in damages estimated over $20 billion and 33 deaths according to the History Channel Web site. CERT prepares individuals for things like floods and earthquakes and Rancho Cucamonga’s CERT exemplified their importance during the Great Cal-ifornia Shakeout.

According to Medina, the biggest natural disaster that affected Rancho Cucamonga monetarily was during the Gran Prix Fire in 2003 which was declared a federal di-saster. There were also recent windstorms in 2011 that were costly as well. The next big disaster that hits Califor-nia though is expected to be an earthquake.

“The 8.0 earthquake on the Southern San Andreas is our gold standard, but CERT can be of assistance in even smaller incidents,” said Medina. “They serve as a force multiplier for our first responders and assist in their neigh-borhoods when we can’t be there.”

CERT is around because only 1 percent of a community will be first responder professionals. The Great California

Shakeout happens every year, and each year the city participates to modify the exercises to become more re-alistic and applicable. Reasons for the CERT program become more obvious. The city uses these results in a building block configuration and they evaluate how the city performed this year and then next year adds compo-nents to increase capacity. Medina said the information is used to recruit and train future CERT members.

There are approximately 500 newly trained CERT mem-bers and 1500 previously trained CERT members in Rancho Cucamonga since 2001. Medina said the class-es and exercises are very well received in the commu-nity and continue to create their own momentum. They appreciate participant efforts in partnering with CERT to increase the overall disaster resiliency.

The Community Emergency Response Team is trained by first responders like firemen, emergency room nurses, anti-terrorist experts and psychologists on how to help each other when professional first responders cannot be of assistance. The CERT program was originally started with the Los Angeles Fire Department to deal with things like brush fire and earthquake preparedness that are commonly faced in California but have evolved to en-compass all emergencies including post-terrorist attack situations.

With the rainy season upon us, it is important to make sure we keep our homes safe and free from potential risks of damage. Unchecked gutter leaks can wreak havoc on even the newest homes. This relatively com-mon issue makes properly installed and maintained gutters a vital, yet of-ten overlooked, part of a house’s exte-rior. If you have damaged, clogged or low capacity gutters, overflowing wa-ter can lead to drainage issues, and ultimately water damage to the wood, siding and dry wall of your home.

Properly functioning gutters help your home hold up under harsh weather conditions. When it rains, water flows off the roof into gutters, which directs the water away from the house. This drainage system ensures that water is not able to pool on your roof and leak under shingles ultimately enter-ing and damaging the interior of your home. There’s a variety of reasons why your current gutters may be inad-

equate and in need of replacement, including: • Severe blockage due to fallen leaves and other debris • Low capacity gutters, which cannot handle the volume of water that comes with heavy rainfall • Damaged gutters, which can be caused by icing over in the winter, and general wear and tear

Replacing your current gutters can help you avoid the costly repairs that come with water damage. So make sure your rain gutters are in good shape, this way you can focus on the holiday season and not home repairs.

REPLACEMENT GUTTERS ARE ESSENTIAL FOR PREVENTING HOME WATER DAMAGE
