the college’s new art museum during a meeting on Monday in Claremont. College officials would liketo build the museum on the land west of College Avenue between Bonita Avenue and Second Street.The site selection has met with some public resistance, but Pomona College President David Oxtoby,at left, believes the structure will be a perfect connector between the Village and the Colleges.

CHS boys water polo season begins next month.

The Pack has a lot to prove as the defending

champion, but missing key players like Steven

Cagle, who graduated last year. Luckily, Clare-

Voting Rights Act turns 50Dear Editor:August 2015 marks the 50th anniversary

of the passage of the Voting Rights Act(VRA). This landmark civil rights legisla-tion has protected voters from discrimina-tion for nearly half a century. The VRA is

one of the most significant laws ever passedby Congress and it changed America. Buttoday, the Voting Rights Act does not offerthe same protections it did in 1965.

Two years ago, the US Supreme Courtgutted key provisions of the VRA in itsShelby County v. Holder decision, weaken-ing vital voter protections. Since then Con-gress has done nothing to repair the damage.Congress currently has before it variousproposals, but there’s been no action, nolegislation passed. As a result, voter dis-

crimination at ballot boxes across the nationhas become more pronounced and we aredangerously close to holding our first pres-idential election in 50 years without criticalprotections once embodied in the VRA.

Each and every eligible American voterdeserves to be treated fairly and have free

and equal access to the ballot. During theAugust congressional recess, voters shouldbe loud and clear that the right to vote is fun-damental to our democracy. Tell Congressit’s time to restore the VRA. The League of Women Voters has been standing its groundin the fight against discrimination and forvoting rights protections for 95 years, andrestoring the VRA is an important step tokeep our elections fair, free and accessible.

Initial steps are being taken towardwhat Pomona College PresidentDavid Oxtoby said has been a decade

in the works. The college recently re-leased concept drawings for the PomonaCollege Museum of Art. But, in typicalClaremont fashion, the proposal has notbeen met without its share of scrutiny.

As described at a May 2015 community meeting,the new museum—at an estimated 32,000 square feet,about 10,000 of which will be below grade—will pro-vide public space and courtyards, as well as teachingspace, galleries and offices. However, it isn’t the scalethat’s given residents pause but, as any good realtorwill tell you, it’s location, location, location. Some resi-dents feel Pomona College shouldn’t extend its reachto the west side of College Avenue.

“We’ve been west of College Avenue for many,many years,” Mr. Oxtoby said. “This will not be a dra-matic change.”

This move to the west side of College has raisedsome eyebrows, and tempers, in recent weeks. Preser-

vationists argue that the four bungalows, part of the oldClaremont Hotel, hold some historic value. The collegedisagrees and has scheduled demolition of the struc-tures. One thing everyone seems to agree on is thatRenwick House, a Victorian home on the site used forstaff offices, should remain.

“The city has talked with us about moving it acrossthe street,” Mr. Oxtoby said. “This is a very new con-cept.”

Renwick House—built by Helen Renwick, a widowfrom Iowa, who moved here to raise her only son—ishome to the college’s annual giving office. The struc-ture will continue to house offices once it’s moved tothe east side of College Avenue, south of SecondStreet.

For many, moving Renwick House goes against thebasic tenets of preservation deeply held by Claremont

residents.“By proposing a large-scale institutional building on

the block between Second Street and Bonita on thewest side of College Avenue and moving the iconicRenwick House from its historical location, Pomonawill in effect destroy the historic residential feeling thatis part of its own legacy,” David Shearer, president of Claremont Heritage, wrote in a recent COURIERviewpoint.

For Pomona College, maintaining the traditionallycordial town-and-gown relationship is a primary con-sideration in not just museum design but execution of the college’s 15-year master plan.

“When you look at the bridges built the last century,a lot of it starts with Pomona,” Mr. Oxtoby said. “Be-ing in this relationship is extremely important to us.”

After several years of planning, teaching atPomona College began in 1888 in the city of Pomona. At an annual tuition of $45 a year, studentscould earn one of three degrees—arts, literature orscience—from a five-room rented house on the cor-ner of Mission and White avenues. With a desire toreplicate universities on the East Coast, Pomona Col-lege founders set their sights on Claremont, a bur-geoning town that was naming streets after “promi-nent New England institutions of learning,” accordingto the college website.

After the Claremont Hotel set to close in 1888,Pomona College was invited to use the space, along

with several hundred surrounding parcels, under theagreement that the parcels would be sold at some poinwith the land donors receiving a portion of the sales.

Much has changed since the early days. Pomonanow hosts roughly 1600 students a year with a teaching staff of about 200 people. And with $2.1 billion its coffers, Pomona is now the single most endowedliberal arts college in the nation. With all this growth

it should be noted that in its 100-year history, Pomonhas added only 40 acres to its original 100-acre cam-pus.

As Scott Smith, campus architect and master plannfor Pomona College, explained at the spring commu-nity meeting, the master plan aims to build on heritageplans, not rewrite history.

“I want to emphasize the stewardship of the last100 years,” he said at the meeting. “We not onlywant to maintain the campus, but to restore what hasbeen lost.”

In response to residents’ concerns, Mr. Smith as-sured the 80 or so people at the meeting that no ele-ment of the master plan extends the college beyond itscurrent boundaries. And as far as residents’ claims of college creep, Mr. Smith echoed Mr. Oxtoby’s asser-tion that protecting interaction with the city is of ut-

most importance.“We look at the new museum as a transition build-

ing,” Mr. Smith said. “The connection between collegand civic life was an important contribution [with themaster plan].”

As it stands, Pomona College will continue itslongterm agreement with the Claremont Public Librarfor use of the back parking lot, which is owned by thecollege but is on, what Mr. Oxtoby describes as, a“100-year lease of about a dollar a year.” The collegealso believes the proposed location will create a syn-ergy that will complement the library.

For Mr. Oxtoby, Claremont’s bustling Village willmake a perfect partner for the hybrid museum-community space.

“There is a lot going on downtown,” he observed.“Like Bardot, it’s such a vital place. When we see tha

level of activity, it’s exciting.”

New museum location causes town-and-gown friction

POMONA MUSEUM/ page

COURIER photos/Steven FelschundneABOVE: Under Pomona College’s master plan, the 57-year-old modernist Montgomery Art Centeron the corner of College and Bonita avenues has been slated for demolition. The university envi-sions a new art museum to be built on the west side of College between Bonita Avenue and Sec-ond Street.

AT LEFT: Pomona College President David Oxtoby references a model of the university as he dis-cusses the art museum that Pomona wants to build on College Avenue. Mr. Oxtoby sees the mu-seum, which conceptual plans estimate will span about 32,0000 square feet, as a gateway betweethe university and the Village.

These conceptual drawings show the type of struc-ture Pomona College would like to build for its newmuseum and Renwick House, which will be moved toan adjacent parcel at the college.

Thursday, August 13If the movie Bambi made you cry, do

yourself a favor and skip this item. Po-lice received a call at 6:49 p.m. from a

hiker at the Claremont Wilderness Parkwho reported seeing a deer limping by,an arrow lodged in its back leg. Whenpolice arrived at the scene to investigatethe humane problem, the animal wasgone.

Friday, August 14Miguel Prado-Zaragoza clearly im-

bibed too much barley and hops during asudsy visit to Claremont Craft Ales in theClaremont Business Park on ClaremontBoulevard. A call came in at 9:44 p.m.that the 31-year-old Pasadena residenthad urinated in a trashcan outside thecraft beer establishment and seemedpoised to drive off on his motorcycle

parked outside the brewery. Officers lo-cated Mr. Prado-Zaragoza in the parkinglot and determined that he was unable tocare for himself. He was arrested andheld for detox.

* * * *Claremont police were called to Wal-

ter’s at 1:30 p.m. with a report that threemen were positioned outside of therestaurant trying to start a fight with em-ployees. One of the subjects had re-moved his shirt and, according to thepolice report, “bouncers were holdinghim back.” Police asked the trio, who re-portedly had boasted they were membersof an Apple Valley gang, to leave therestaurant and not come back. As they

were in no shape to drive, the über-pu-gnacious friends—one still shirtless and

all three sporting backwards baseballcaps—made for First Street and an im-pending Uber ride.

Claremont police were contacted at3:11 p.m. regarding a dispute betweenthe staff at King Kong Sushi on IndianHill Boulevard and some customers whowere convinced they’d gotten a raw deal.It was explained that the party of three,after ordering too much food, had re-fused to foot the bill. While there wassomething decidedly fishy about thestory, police advised the staff that therewas little they could do, as the disagree-ment was a civil issue.

Saturday, August 15A resident entered the Claremont Po-

lice Department at 9:12 a.m. to report a“bit-and-run” incident. The woman said

that while she was hiking the ThompsonCreek Trail, a dog attacked her dog andthen knocked her down. The owner of the volatile canine fled the scene imme-diately afterwards.

* * * *Police were called to the 500 block of

north Towne Avenue at 9:53 a.m. after aresident discovered that her windowshad been shattered by rocks. The van-dalism occurred some time between 10p.m. the previous evening and 2 a.m. thatmorning. A neighbor reported having re-cently seeing a Hispanic male “withstrange eyes” around the complex,though they were unsure if the eerie vis-itor had any connection with the busted

windows.* * * *

There’s a fine line between making apolitical statement and creating a nui-sance. At 11:38 a.m., Claremont policereceived a report that someone hadcrossed that line. After taping a rippedAmerican flag to the door of Dr. Grubb’srestaurant on Bonita Avenue in the Vil-lage, a man began badgering customers.Police made contact with the man andasked him to leave. No word on whether,by the dawn’s early light, the flag wasstill there.

Monday, August 16Police received a call at 11:30 a.m.

that a man walking through the Village,with his trek beginning on Yale Avenue,was creating a disturbance. The mysteryman, a white male in his 40s, was lastseen by the new speakeasy-themed barThe Whisper House, located in theClaremont Packing House. Failing totake a cue from the establishment’sname, he was reported as being argu-mentative with passersby. Both the manand the bone he had to pick with theworld at large were gone by the time po-lice arrived to the scene.

* * * *At 10:44 p.m., police received a report

of a burglary in progress at Star Drugs inthe Sprout’s shopping center on FoothillBoulevard. The suspect, a white male,had been seen limping toward a darkblue minivan before taking off. Police ar-rived to the scene to find the drug store’swindows smashed. They located theminivan shortly after and the driver con-sented to a vehicle check. NicholasMatthews, a 29-year-old Montclair resi-dent, had fresh cuts on his left wrist andshattered glass on his T-shirt. Propertyfrom the store was found in the minivan,and Mr. Matthews was arrested for the

break-in as well as for an outstandinwarrant.

Tuesday, August 18Police received a call at 7:19 p.m

from an Elder Drive resident concerneabout some material left at her housSomeone had posted a flyer expoundinon the subject of “America, the promised land, and why as a nation we havfailed.” She felt that local law enforcment should be alerted to the presence othe pamphleteer because “obvioussomeone is off their rocker.”

* * * *Living in close quarters can create ten

sion, as evidenced by an altercation btween roommates at a Doane Avenuresidence. Police received a call at 1:3a.m. regarding a battery in progress. Thcaller reported that her roommate, afthaving thrown a television at hboyfriend, was threatening to kill thcouple. Police arrested 54-year-oClaremont resident Pamela Gross fomaking criminal threats and she wheld on $50,000 bail.

Pomona Museum of Art DirectorKathleen Howe shares the presi-dent’s excitement at being part of

“people walking.” She emphasized thatthe new museum will benefit not only stu-dents and faculty, but the community as a

whole.“We will be able to bring in exhibitions that wesimply can’t now,” Ms. Howe explained. “The Ameri-can Alliance of Museums has not permitted certainexhibits because of heating and air issues [at Mont-gomery].”

Current programs offered at Montgomery, includ-ing the Claremont Museum of Art’s ArtStart programand public school field trips, will continue at the newsite. In fact, Ms. Howe projects that these types of civic activities will only increase.

“It will be a teaching museum,” she said. “We’veplanned for collection portals and study rooms andseparate spaces for our Native and non-Native collec-tions, as well as curriculum galleries where Pomonastudents can gain experience curating their ownshows.”

The proposed museum will offer art vaults in thebasement, allowing for proper storage of Pomona’scollections. There was even mention of a moviescreen to be located in a courtyard for film screeningsthat will be open to the public.

Ms. Howe explained that the college has consid-ered several locations since discussions first beganbetween her and Mr. Oxtoby in 2003. Sealy-Mudd,the south side of Bridges Auditorium and the cornerof First Street and College Avenue were all explored.

“Sealy-Mudd was a landlocked site,” Ms. Howeexplained. “It would cost more to locate the museumthere than it would to build a new building.”

As far as the backside of Bridges Auditorium, thebowling-alley shape didn’t offer the kind of openflow conducive to art exhibition. Special considera-

tion went into making the College Avenue and FirstStreet site work but, as Mr. Oxtoby explains, movinga sports field isn’t as simple as it seems.

“I was reluctant to just stick the softball field in thewash,” he said. “It just doesn’t work, and we need tohave a softball field.”

About a block east of the corner of First and Col-lege was also considered but, as mapped out in themaster plan, student housing is planned for the space.

The fact remains, Pomona may have a fight on itshands as the college moves forward with constructionon the west side of College Avenue.

As Mr. Shearer pointed out, “Locating an institu-tional building here, with the mass and scale as pre-sented by Pomona, would destroy the historic residen-

tial feeling and be in direct opposition to the commu-nity values that are outlined in the general plan.”

For now, the future Pomona College Museum of Art is only conceptual, the college reiterated. Break-ing ground will necessitate the commission approvalsrequired for any new construction in the city, as wellas a zone change. Pomona has resubmitted its updatedmaster plan to the city consultants for review. The up-date includes further detail on the museum project.The city will coordinate the timeline for public reviewand comment; the schedule will be published in theCOURIER when it becomes available.

The college will host another community meetingon September 29 for residents to view the model, hearplans and to talk with Pomona College staff.

In the coming weeks, we’ll take a closer look at thePomona College master plan and provide continuedcoverage on the museum. For information on the pro-posed museum, visit www.pomona.edu/new-PCMA.

Who knew that a can of vegetarianchili, a can of white hominy andsome shredded cheese could

taste so good? It was something my momwould just whip up when I was young andsomething I would have when I had my firstapartment in college.

Actually, after years of living in the dorm and eating inthe dining hall, coming up with this recipe—if that waswhat it was—was downright special, sort of exotic andhomey at the same time.

Yes, it was always good, a simple comfort-food dish,but a few weeks back, it was extra tasty. This is probablytrue of any cooking on a camping trip.

Really, a can of pork and beans is pretty good cookedover a camp fire or a Coleman stove.

That’s what my friends and I were doing a coupleweeks ago. We were camping at Morro Bay State Parkfor the weekend, using a large Coleman I had bought,and that old chili and hominy recipe was better than ever.No doubt it was because we were camping. What’s more,

we were camping and also able to cook organic babyspinach from Trader Joe’s.

I call that living the high life in the rough. It was evenhigher the night before, when we had spaghetti withmarinara sauce and vegetarian Italian sausage with zuc-chini.

I’m thinking of having pork and beans on the nextcamping trip. But it will be vegetarian baked beans andtofu hot dogs. With maybe broccoli on the side.

And it will be extra tasty, no doubt.****

Tofu hot dogs are one thing, but tofu shrimp, or veganshrimp, is a different story.

I told a friend that Junction is a whole other world. Ac-tually, what I said was that the restaurant on Indian Hillin the Village is like something in LA.

But that’s not the only way it’s so different. The restau-

rant specializes in dishes that feature Mexican and Ko-rean elements, making for a spicy, succulent blend. Themenu, some of which appears to have started off in a foodtruck, includes kimchi tacos, and I’ve had a burrito withchicken marinated Korean-style. So tasty. On my lastvisit, I had a rolled spicy quesadilla, presented like sushirolls, which was stunning.

There’s more. Not only is there this crazy, wonderfulfusion, truly a junction, but there are vegetarian/veganoptions on many of the items on the menu. I had my bur-rito with vegan chicken and my quesadilla with veganshrimp. For me, the fact that it’s not a vegetarian/veganrestaurant but has these options (at no extra cost) sendsit over the top.

Another world—LA and beyond—indeed, and righthere in Claremont.

****I was glad to see that Junction was featured duringClaremont’s Restaurant Week last month. It certainlydoes deserve every promotion. In fact, wasn’t it noted inSunset or some such magazine—maybe it was Gour-met—not long ago?

It’s great that Claremont has a Restaurant Week. Manycities have one, and it’s good to see Claremont getting inon the act. Yes, it’s a gimmick, just a promotion, but,again, a bit of promotion doesn’t hurt.

I have to admit that I don’t usually think of eating outunless I’m away. I have several restaurants that I like togo to when I’m in Los Angeles, for example. But that hasbeen changing in the last year or so. It’s just nice to eatout now and then, and with exciting places like Junctionright here, I don’t have to wait until I go to LA. Plus, it’sless of a hassle, with no traffic for one thing.

One question I do have about Claremont’s RestauraWeek: Why is it held during the summer when the colege students are gone? Don’t the students want to knoabout nearby restaurants? Don’t they want a break frodorm food?

Maybe not. From what I’ve seen, the students the

days at the colleges have little reason to venture off campus to eat. Not only do these students have more attractive choices, with a number of themed stations in thdining halls, than I did in the eighties, when the vegetaian option was mac and cheese or sometimes fettuccialfredo, their vegetarian and vegan choices are impresive. They may not have vegan shrimp—althoughwouldn’t be that surprised if they did—but what they dhave is a real improvement from 30 years ago and worldaway from the “mystery meat” that my mother saeveryone got when she was in college.

****Vegan pulled pork, anyone?From what I see, there is all kinds of dining going o

at the Monday evening concerts at Memorial Park. I havwondered why the concerts now start earlier, at 7 insteaof 7:30 (and do they sometimes start even earlier tha

that?) But one thing hasn’t changed: As the crowds gbigger and bigger, I have seen quite a variety in what peple are eating there.

Yes, there are the hot dogs and ice cream sandwichealong with the buckets of fried chicken and Subwasandwiches that people bring. There are also the baggieof brie and grapes and the picnic baskets full of preparesalads and marinated meats. It is also not unusual to setable cloths spread out on the lawn, along with silveware, china, wine glasses and candles.

I’ve been hearing a lot this summer about the pullepork that the Kiwanis are selling at their booth at the concerts. That’s all well and good—very good, no doubt—but I have a question: When will the Kiwanis or someonelse start selling vegan pulled pork there?

Doomies in LA sells an awfully tasty vegan pullepork sandwich. It can’t be so hard for Claremont to catcup—it’s well on its way, anyhow—even in the park.

each (a large Elm at MemorialPark has been valued at about$80,000), we risk losing asmuch as $10 million in assets.

These 1,000 trees provide natural serv-ices (cooling, air filtration, oxygen pro-

duction, etc.) worth about $4,000 per tree(based on studies by the Center for UrbanForest Research in Davis).

Natural services provided by 1,000 treesare worth about $4 million. We can debatethe economic value of trees as more treesbecome diseased and die, but this will

only drive up the added liability risks of dealing with diseased limbs and dead treesas well as the cost of removal. The pointis that our community could lose tens of millions of dollars of tree assets and mil-lions of dollars of natural services as pub-lic and private trees die.

Trees define Claremont, the place eachof us has selected to live. How we treat ourtrees expresses our environmental ethicas a community. Our urban forest con-tributes to our quality of life. Recent stud-ies validate the subtle health benefits of trees. Trees also help address both causes

and effects of a changing climate.What can we do to protect this her-

itage? The city is having a tree assess-ment done to identify stressed trees anddevelop emergency “Treeage” strategiesto save them. It’s like fighting a fire, exceptwhat’s happening is slower and the ef-fects aren't as dramatic.

Each of us needs to take responsibilityfor watering trees. The Tree Action Group(TAG) of Sustainable Claremont and theTree Coalition coordinated by ClaremontHeritage are distributing fliers on how todo this and we have also produced a videoon saving water and trees. Please join inthese volunteer efforts and ask people towater distressed trees.

City staff is working to reestablishemergency mobile watering capabilities,using a power-washer that has a smalltank-on-a-trailer that could be filled fromfire hydrants on each street with a mobilemeter. Staff is also using a water-jettertruck. The 1,600-gallon tank could befilled with reclaimed water from the Tri-Valley water plant. Water basins withmulch and biochar can help retain emer-gency water in the root zones of estab-lished trees that are at risk. The city is us-ing water bags on new trees. Waterinjectors could also help get emergencywater into tree root zones.

At the same time, we should modify ir-

rigation systems, especially where turf being removed. Drip lines should suround stressed trees. As a stopgap, wcould make immediate use of soakhoses.

TAG is asking the city to reestablisClaremont’s Tree Fund. With this fund, th

city could accept donations collectethrough Sustainable Claremont and Clarmont Heritage. The city should also collepenalties from those who neglect or damage city trees, adding to this fund. Clarmont may be able to get grant funds fromsources such as Re-Leaf, which could gto this fund to sustain trees.

TAG is working with the city to implment an Adopt-a-Tree program aimed rescuing the most significant trees and seting up ways for individuals, businessand neighborhoods to support planting rplacement trees, once we have an urbaforest master plan.

Let’s come together as a community sustain and regenerate our urban fore

Please support our mayor in declaring aemergency so the city staff can take moaction. Let’s also encourage our city manager to hire a director of community serices capable of dealing with this crisis, well as developing and implementing aUrban Forest Master Plan to regeneraand sustain our valuable urban forest.

Claremont needs to plan our green ifrastructure and build a team to becommore proactive in dealing with droughand heat waves, as well as flooding thatlikely to come from a changing climat

Most important now...Conserve watAND water trees, especially throughoAugust, September and October!


Claremont’s tree emergency by Mark von Wodtke, FASLA

VIEWPOINT

Jan Creasey was appointed CLASP’snew program director at the board of di-rectors meeting held July 30.

Ms. Creasy, who recently retired after37 years of teaching English LanguageArts in the Alta Loma school district, has

mentored new teachers, stepped up as aleader in the areas of technology and lit-eracy, and served as department chairfrom 2006 to 2014.

CLASP offers after-school homeworkhelp and mentoring as well as enrich-ment and recreational activities to chil-dren in grades K-6 in CUSD. From herown teaching experience, Ms. Creaseysaid she understands and appreciates thework that CLASP does.

“I believe that some students learn bet-ter in a one-on-one situation and thatsometimes instruction slowed down,given with another explanation or deliv-ered in a different way helps in under-standing,” she explained. “It seems this

is what CLASP is all about.”CLASP tutoring is offered at theBlaisdell Park Community Center, theClaremont Presbyterian Church, Clare-mont Village Apartments CommunityRoom, Good Shepherd EvangelicalLutheran Church and the Wheeler ParkRecreation Building.

The next time your kidsare watching cartoons,you just might hear a fa-

miliar voice. Thirteen-year-oldEl Roble student Blake Bertrandhas a starring role in the new se-ries Shimmer and Shine,which premieres on Nick Jr. thisMonday.

The show, aimed at preschool audi-ences, follows the adventures of a girlnamed Leah who’s befriended by two ge-nies in training. Blake plays Leah’s next-door neighbor and good buddy Zac.

The young Claremonter is no strangerto the screen, both large and small. At 5, henabbed a part in the Adam Sandler filmYou Don’t Mess with the Zohan. Sub-sequently, he’s landed roles in a host of TVshows, including House, How I MetYour Mother, Private Practice andWendell & Vinnie.

Along with his Shimmer and Shinegig, Blake has an ongoing role in the ani-mated Disney Channel cartoon GravityFalls. Voiceover work is an unusual job,but it’s one he enjoys. “It’s really fun. It’s

just me in a room and I’m just reading mylines,” he said. “The directors and pro-ducers are in another room, giving me tipsand stuff.”

Playing a role convincingly is easierwith other actors on the scene. It helps thatBlake finds his character appealing. “Zacis very funny and kind of clumsy, and hehas this dog that he’s always with namedRocket. He’s a cool character,” he said.

Recording the new show involves hour-long taping sessions a couple times aweek, plus round-trip freeway rides to theLos Angeles studio.

Blake’s older brother Jacob, 16, is alsoan actor, notably playing the title role inthe Disney show Kirby Buckets. He had

a longrunning role as the fish Gil in theNick Jr. show Bubble Guppies and has

performed in the animated features Rise of the Guardians and ParaNorman and inthe live action film Jinxed.

The boys’ older sister Mckenna, 18,was the first in the family to begin acting.She’s too busy to undertake many audi-tions at this point, being in college at APUwhere she’s a member of the swim team.

Driving two kids back and forth to tap-ings and auditions constitutes a full-time

job for their mom Christina, but she seesit as a worthwhile endeavor.

“One thing that’s so fascinating for thekids is the people they’ve met and get tolook up to,” Ms. Bertrand said. “They getto see and be a part of animation, art,singing, writing. They get to interact with

other voiceover actors and other kids, andthey get to see so many different careers.”

Some people might view the boys’lives—including Blake’s current role ona show about genies—as covered in star-dust. Ms. Bertrand sees their involve-

ment differently.“If a kid is playing baseball or soccer on

a club team, you see the sacrifices andcommitment that has to go into it,” shesaid. “Even though it’s acting, it could beswimming or piano.

“People will ask, ‘Weren’t you worriedabout exposing your kids to the pressuresof the industry?” Ms. Bertrand continued.“With our kids, it’s almost like it’s an out-let for them. They love it.”

Ms. Bertrand also credits their home-town for helping keep the boys groundedin reality. “I really love our community,”she said. “Claremont is a college townand it’s very down-to-earth. The kids ridetheir bikes to the Village. They have theirfriends here. We also have a lot of friendsin the industry.”

Ms. Bertrand is well-suited to the taskof being a stage mom, albeit of the non-pushy variety. She’s organized, she’s apeople person and she knows how to del-egate. This includes relying heavily on anagent who has represented her children foralmost 13 years and who has been “a realblessing.”

Sometimes being an actor and a kid re-quires a juggling act. Blake has had tomiss a few classes. We probably shouldn’tshare this, but though he says math and

English are fun, Blake calls the occasiontime off from school “awesome.”

In fact, Blake seems to find his doubllife awesome in general. He takes actinclasses from a professional coach. Healso taken drama at school and is lookinforward to getting involved with Clarmont High School’s theater program.

The middle schooler enjoys the chancto meet fellow actors and industry playeof every age and every level of fame. Halso loves to spend time cruising arounClaremont on his longboard. “Styx is awsome,” Blake said of the local board-shoSometimes Jacob accompanies him.

There’s a sense of camaraderie betweethe two brothers, whether they are vyinfor roles, heading off for jobs or just chiling.

“We hang out all the time, play baskeball, go swimming, skim-boarding. Wwrestle sometimes, too. He mainly winsBlake said. “And we give each other avice when going out for stuff and heeach other with lines.”

Blake, who is going into eighth gradmay have a grownup job, but his parentreat him like any other kid. He recentgot a new TV, but only after fulfilling hpromise to get all A’s in school.

He’s humble but confident, havinspent years winning some and losinsome. Not getting a part you want is haat first, Blake said.

“It’s like, you can’t take it personallYou’ve just got to keep on trying. Somtimes you’ll miss out just by your lookhe said. “I started when I was like threSince my brother and I have been doingfor a long time, we kind of get more yesthan no’s.”

Blake, who counts many actors, in

cluding Brad Pitt, as role models, said hhopes to continue acting. “It’s what I wato do—It’s a lot of fun,” he said.

And he has some advice for othyoung people interested in getting a toe show business.

“Just keep on trying and be yourseland eventually you’ll get something,” hsaid. —Sarah Torrib

14/24

Claremont High Schoolboys water polo coachKristin Rodriguez ac-

knowledges that the Pack is theteam to beat after capturing a

CIF title last year. She said al-though the task will be harderthis year, the team is ready foranother great season.

Last year’s success included an overallrecord of 22-11, beat-ing rival Damien foronly the second timein 20 years, an unde-feated record in the Palomares Leagueand then skating through the post-seasonby outscoring every rival by double dig-its.

“When we got into the season [lastyear], we had some games that weren’t aschallenging, so I think this year that is notgoing to be the case as much. It will be amore equal playing field because theyhad a lot of juniors and we had a lot of seniors,” said Coach Rodriguez.

“We are seeded number one, so that isexciting. We know we have a target, butwe had a target last year as well,” sheadded.

The challenge and excitement behindbuilding a winning program revolvesaround the fact that star players all even-tually graduate. It will be particularlyhard for Claremont this year since theylost Steven Cagle, one of the best highschool goalkeepers ever.

To replace Cagle, Coach Rodriguez hasbrought up junior Kellan Grant to be theirstarting goalie.

“He knows what shoes he has to fill, but has beenworking his butt off all summer with myself as wellas with the club,” she said. “He has improved greatly.

He’s not afraid of the ball, is very aggres-sive in the cage and is coachable.”

Also moving on was the Pack’s top fielplayer Adam Ward, who was sidelinedmost of the year but was a huge inspiratiodespite injury. “His work ethic pushed ouentire team,” Coach Rodriguez said.

Returning to the offensive line, BrunoSnow and Johnathon Wong are the two towatch this year. Both had great seasonslast year and have been playing water polsince elementary school, according toCoach Rodriguez.

Sophomore Ian Waasdorp will becomethe main defensive player replacing senioMatt Turk, who will be more of an offen-

sive threat and a driver for the team.“I’m asking two of our guys to change their roles

completely. Ian was more offensive originally andMatt was more defensive. I am switching themaround because I think it will be beneficial in the lonrun,” the Coach said.

To get the team, she will replicate last year’s strat-egy of playing a very tough preseason beginning witthe Santa Barbara Tournament, during which they lofour games last year. The boys also have a scrimmagagainst Ernest Righetti High School next week. “Theschedule is pretty intense,” she said.

Unfortunately Coach Rodriguez won’t be able tomake the Righetti game because she will be leading top US girls team in an international tournament.

For six years she has been involved in the USACadet National Team. This year, she’ll coach the 18

and under club at the Union Americana de Natacion(UANA) tournament next week in Kingston, JamaicShe went to Hungary last year for training with theteam and the year before that was at a UANA tournament in Argentina. Her husband Alex Rodriguez willalso be attending to coach the boys team.

When she returns, the Palomares League competi-tion will be just around the corner, with the firstgames in the second week of October. She expectstough competition from Ayala because of some craftplayers she spotted on club teams. In addition, Bonithas a new head coach who appears to be a formidablopponent, according to Coach Rodriguez.
