Publisher Kathleen Sanchez Marketing Director Let me take this opportunity to welcome those who are receiving our magazine for the very first time.

We are a community based, local magazine that serves Claremont, Upland and Rancho Cucamonga. Our goal is to earn the privilege of becoming your local community magazine. We offer local news and articles, coming local events, local sports, and other material relevant to the local community.

Why haven’t you seen us before, you ask? Prior to now, we have been serving 40,000 homes above Baseline. Having received numerous emails and calls from people below Baseline, asking, “What are we, chopped liver down here?” we decided to spread out. Accordingly, we are changing our distribution so we can mail to 80,000 homes above and below Baseline on a rotating basis. This month we will mail to 40,000 homes and businesses below Baseline. Next month, we will go back above Baseline to 40,000 more homes and businesses.

This means the magazine will be mailed to 10,000 of the 11,801 homes in Claremont, 20,000 of 28,239 homes in Upland and 50,000 of the 56,377 homes in Rancho Cucamonga, for a total circulation of 80,000. However, don’t worry - you don’t have to miss even one issue. Simply go to 909magazine.com and register to receive a free digital subscription to the magazine every month.

You can also use your smart phone to text 909mag (one word) to 99000 to be automatically registered to receive a free digital copy each month.

We also operate 909 Deals. We email out 50% off deals from local salons, restaurants, car washes and other locations. You can also text 909deals (one word) to 99000 to be automatically registered. When you register you can select a local school to support and every time you buy one of our deals one dollar from the deal will be donated to the school you have chosen to support.

The more people signed up to support a particular school, the more money that school will make. We have iPhone and Droid Apps for the deals. These apps also have coupons from local merchants for you to use. Just show the coupon on your phone, the merchant will tap the “Redeem” button, and that’s it. We made it easy.

We hope everyone has a great month. We also hope that you enjoy the magazine. After all, it’s yours. We just deliver to your mailbox. So feel free to send us an email with any comments, questions or concerns.

Until next time,

INSIDE claremont 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 improvement, 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 supportive 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 personal level, but I don’t remember anything like this being organized before.”

The goal of the 92’ CHS alumnus 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

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

“Mrs. Bobo was always a popular 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 briefly 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.”

The Positive Effects of Judo

Judo Winter Nationals have come again and the Goltz Judo Club of Claremont saw another big turnout.

Although the international event

founded by the club leader is over, this judo club uses their philosophy year-round.

This philosophy is self-improve-

INSIDE claremont 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 nationally and internationally.

He has even presented a posthumous 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 target. 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 students 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 demonstrations 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 classes are a wonderful way to help our youth gain confidence and become outstanding citizens that care about their community.

What Do You Run For?

Is cross-country running the new big sport? The Claremont Cross Country People of Claremont High School have been seen running through the streets of Claremont 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 running 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 Finals.

Their win has led their varsity team to make the California Interscholastic Federation preliminary races with the possibility to advance.

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 videogames or what not, certainly cross country is blowing up right now which is neat.”

They had 190 kids in the summer 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 Russia. He was a part of the team in the late 80s/early 90s and said it’s funny since some Claremont residents they see during runs can relate from when they they ran cross country during days gone by.

INSIDE Upland Although Arriaga cannot give current stats for accuracy, he hasn’t personally seen particular increases 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 resulting collision.

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

Terminating Traffic Cams Has Been A Good Thing

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

Police officers could spend entire 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.

Lending a Helping Hand 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 cameras. 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 officers to chase them, so cameras were installed to help discourage red light running and reduce collisions.

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

“When we initially had the cameras 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 money.”

Budget cuts make it hard for the city to monetarily handle community 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 vacate the homeless from the parks.

Despite that, more support has returned as a result of church members becoming active in the group.

Now church donations are largely

organized through the Community Service Council and churches are happy working with the city, according 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 situation in the city.”

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

INSIDE Upland 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 Nelson. “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. January will be donations for baby blankets in hospitals, along with Upland Animal Services offering low-cost rabies vaccinations and licensing.

School supplies and backpack donations are year-round.

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

A Brief History of the Dale Bros. Brewery Dale Bros. Brewery is a brotherrun 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 brewing takes a day but the actual beer takes two weeks with the fermentation and conditioning. For December, expect to see their Winter Haze holiday season brew. Their flagship beer though is the Pomona Queen Amber Lager that can be had yearround.

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 college in the late 1980s. Curt brewed before and then got back into it when Andy started brewing. Both brothers were previously in software 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 Claremont 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 appreciate the beer around here.”

Andy said they differ from most west coast brewers since they focus 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.

INSIDE rancho cucamonga Wal-Mart to Become a Supercenter

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

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

The largest Wal-Mart is currently 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 WalMart supercenter with a new look and features.

The Growing Interest in Mixed Martial Arts Last minute Christmas shopping 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 eventually supersize it’s Wal-Mart into a new Wal-Mart Supercenter. The anticipated 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 include a 185,600 square foot WalMart 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 include a Route 66 monument as re-

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

Steve Lara is the MMA manager and operating partner of Millennia 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, soccer players or football players. They are athletes that didn’t do something with their athletic ability; then here comes mixed martial arts,

INSIDE rancho cucamonga because it’s an evolving sport right now there is no superior or dominant 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 competed 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 percent of Lara’s athletes are signed with organizations like Strikeforce, Vale Tudo Japan or local organizations like Submission Promotions and the Inland Empire Strikes fights. Some had brief UFC stints.

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

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

Are Local Gas Stations Profitable?

Rancho Cucamonga has seen its share of gas prices going up and down. This would make anyone 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 franchises only make pennies on each gallon of gas. The majority of profits come from snacks and beverages that are purchased.

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

Location is key for gas stations.

American Treasure

Ideal locations our major intersections, 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 without gas stations are popular. Shane has one in Alta Loma off of Baseline. “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 every 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.

MEDICAL cORNER

Keep Your Family Healthy and Safe This Holiday Season The holidays should be a time to celebrate and share time with family and friends. Unfortunately, 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 emergency 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 indoor or outdoor holiday decorations, 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 unattended. While children are fascinated 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 fireplace 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 wrapping paper react with heat and could cause a chemical reaction. 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 poisonous. Mistletoe, holly berries, and Christmas cacti are all poisonous if swallowed, so keep them away from small children and pets.

Keep a fire extinguisher handy. More cooks in the kitchen 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 keeping 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 holidays don’t need to take a toll on your health. Seek balance and moderation. Keep a check on over-committing and overspending. 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-UP

By Matt Bustos

w

ith 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-ortreaters, we look back on what was an outstanding season for Southern California high school football.

BASELINE LEAGUE

Alta Loma Braves 4-6 (0-5 League) What looked like a promising season 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 Marcellus Hunter will look to improve on his 7-touchdown performance next season, as there are plenty of reasons 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. Future Oregon State Beaver Jordan VIllamin hauled in 10 touchdown receptions while Austin Alexander

20

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 tacklers 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 saddled 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 quarterback 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.

.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 playoff 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 championship game. Upland once again has a handful of college players in the fold as defensive backs James Johnson (Arizona State) and Delvin Batiste (San Diego State) will be taking their talents to the bright lights of major college football. Defensive 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, Randy Reams has collected his second straight 6-4 mark. Senior Jordan Robinson was able to eclipse the 1,000-yard rushing mark and junior QB Brian Meyette will look to build on recent success. The Sierra league is not an easy one and Ayala 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 Cucamonga, 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 Colorado. Even though the season did not end as they had hoped, the Chargers had several bright spots including 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 Redlands 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 tackler Connor Wilson back as he looks to lead coach Derick Bub’s 2013 squad deep into the playoffs.

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 replacing 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 replacing legendary coach Steve Bogan, 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 become top dogs once again in the Southern California football scene.

Claremont Wolfpack 3-7(1-4) After two above .500 seasons, Mike Collins and Claremont took a step back in 2012, ending the season 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 Fleming) and receiver (Baron Franklin) will all be back looking to turn the program around.

Meet Your Neighbors The Whitaker Family of Rancho Cucamonga

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

The Whitakers: A little over 2 years.

909: Why did you move to Rancho Cucamonga?

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

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?

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.

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 physical. 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 could be done to improve your city?

909: What made you fall in love with him?

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

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

909: How do you like living in Rancho Cucamonga?

24

909: How did you two meet?

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 nonannoying person.

909: Tell us one thing your husband 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

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 audiologist. He works with individuals 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 Photography, 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 working hard to help improve the quality of life for individuals with hearing loss and dizziness. However, I don’t find it challenging in any negative way. I love what I do.

Angie: Being a stay at home mother 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 rewarding challenge and I wouldn’t trade it for any other job in the world.

Besides being a mother, photography 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 oldest 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 perfect. Richard is originally from Utah

and loves BYU football and basketball. He earned a bachelor’s degree from BYU in Communication Disorders and earned a doctorate in Audiology from the University of Arizona. Angie is from Utah, Arizona, 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.

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

909: What do you guys like to do together?

For the kids:

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 changes from revolving around yourself to revolving around your kids. The majority of your time is now spent providing for the needs of your children and you have much less time to do things for yourself. It has

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 grandparents all have blue eyes. They are the cutest kids in the world!

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 magazine?

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

The Shakeout, Are You Prepared?

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 largescale simulated earthquake. This occurred eleven days before the catastrophic events from Super Storm Sandy that hit the East Coast. Now the training can be appreciated even more as disaster threats should never be taken lightly. Schools, businesses, non-profits, governments, 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 Manager 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 creating over $400 million in damages. The simulation was determined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Hazards-United States (HAZUS) database to create an earthquake on the Southern San Andreas 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 estimations.

30

The damage that would have rocked Rancho Cucamonga 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 family homes, 286 commercial buildings and nine schools.

As for the mess; 116,000 tons of debris would have accumulated. The aftermath would produce $405 million in losses.

At the end of the drill a simulated news briefing was carried 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 protocol 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 participated 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-

Shakeout happens every year, and each year the city participates to modify the exercises to become more realistic 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 components to increase capacity. Medina said the information is used to recruit and train future CERT members.

There are approximately 500 newly trained CERT members and 1500 previously trained CERT members in Rancho Cucamonga since 2001. Medina said the classes and exercises are very well received in the community and continue to create their own momentum. They appreciate participant efforts in partnering with CERT to increase the overall disaster resiliency. ally closed City Hall for 30 minutes to perform an addiexercise our Public Information function,” said Medina.

“These were tactical drills designed to familiarize our city CERT team and public officials with their roles and responsibilities during an actual incident, before the incident 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 Superstorm 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 California 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 disaster. There were also recent windstorms in 2011 that were costly as well. The next big disaster that hits California 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 neighborhoods when we can’t be there.”

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

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 encompass all emergencies including post-terrorist attack situations.

REPLACEMENT GUTTERS ARE ESSENTIAL FOR PREVENTING HOME WATER DAMAGE

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 common issue makes properly installed and maintained gutters a vital, yet often overlooked, part of a house’s exterior. If you have damaged, clogged or low capacity gutters, overflowing water 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 entering 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.
