>> ARTS & ENTERTAINMENTGallery debuts in Pomona Arts In the 15-plus-year evolution of Pomona’s Arts Colony, the downtown area has seen the number of art venues rise from less than a half-dozen to more than 25. The first Second Saturday Art Walk of 2009 rings in the New Year tonight with the introduction of the latest addition to the Colony, Selkouth Gallery. Selkouth’s owner, James Nathan Bell (Nate), grew up in Chino and became a low-voltage engineer while expressing his artistic talent through photography and working part time in a tattoo shop in Orange. His interest in photography prompted Bell to start a small photography company in Newport Beach. It was working with artists in the fields of photography and tattooing where Nate saw the age-old struggle artists have with finding venues to get their art shown. “I was watching my friends work so hard to find places to sell their work just to cover the cost of materials,” Bell said. “I

wanted to create a venue and make art a larger part of my life.” And he found just the place: an arts colony filled with venues mostly operated by artists for artists, right here in downtown Pomona. “The area is really ideal,” Bell said. “Old buildings and storefronts, galleries, restaurants, shops, the Fox Theatre being renovated, and the great sense of community by all the folks who live and work in the Colony, I feel right at home.” The gallery shouldn’t be hard to find for visitors coming to Second Saturday. As patrons enter the Colony from Garey Avenue west onto Second Street, it will be the first art venue on the right hand side of the street, next to Joey’s Bar-B-Q on the corner. Selkouth is located at 119 W. Second Street. Information: myspace.com/Selkouth and www.Selkouth.com; (909) 868-9999.

For information about all 25 art venues in the Arts Colony, go to: www.pomonaartscolony.com or www.metropomona.com. A.S. Ashley is a Pomona Arts Colony artist and advocate.

>> COMMUNITYLA/ONTARIO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT EXHIBITS NEW ARTWORK FEATURING“EVERYDAY” COLLECTABLES

Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA), in partnership with the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs, announces two new exhibits on display at LA/Ontario International Airport (ONT). The exhibits feature collections from various artists portraying how their passions for collectables influence or are incorporated into their artwork. Each exhibit consists of 12 display cases and is located in Terminals 2 and 4. Both exhibits are on display through January 4, 2009, and can be viewed by passengers on the second floor of each terminal. The exhibit, “Miniatures are BIG,” is on display in Terminal 2. The exhibit was curated by Susan Subtle Dintenfass with the help of Oakland-based architects David Weingarten and Lucia Howard. Their firm, Ace Architects, designs whimsical and eclectic buildings that range from theme parks to private homes. For more than a quarter of a century, they have been collecting miniature buildings and monuments from all over the world. Their collection now numbers 5,000 miniatures and over 130 of them are on display at ONT. Four of the display cases in this exhibit include models of structures that Ace

Architects designed. When David Weingarten is asked if Ace’s designs have been influenced by their collection, he says, “Model buildings are employed in ways similar to books, providing sources both of inspiration and instruction.” A second exhibit, also curated by Dintenfass, “Karyl Sisson: Everyday Objects d’Art,” is on display in Terminal 4. This exhibit features the collection of artist Karyl Sisson, which focuses on what used to be called “notions.” These are the fixings from women’s clothing or are worn on a woman’s actual body such as bobby pins and hairpins.Sisson has transformed these feminine objects, all of which once had a particular purpose, into original, post-functional works of art. Her innovative and unique way of presentation is precise and geometric. “My basic structures develop by interlocking the materials; no nails, no armatures and, when possible, no glue is used,” said Sisson. Everything she has created is meticulously made with attention to color and texture. Sisson makes ordinary stuff, ordinarily thrown out or tossed into a sewing box and forgotten, into artistic treasures.The purpose of the Art Exhibits Program at ONT is to educate and entertain the traveling public. Exhibits may be historic, popular, artistic, or graphic design in nature and come from museums, fine art, archives, environment, or other fields.

ONT’s $1.6 million public art program consists of works created by a diverse group of world-class artists. These works celebrate the culture, history and beauty of Southern California and symbolize travel and aviation. ONT is a medium-hub, full-service airport with commercial jet service to major U.S. cities and through service to many international destinations. ONT is located in the Inland Empire, approximately 35 miles east of downtown Los Angeles in the center of Southern California. The airport is the centerpiece of one of the fastest-growing transportation regions in the United States. ONT's service area includes a population of six million people living in San Bernardino and Riverside Counties and portions of north Orange County and east Los Angeles County. ONT is one of four airports owned and operated by LAWA, a Los Angeles City department that oversees an airport system in the nation’s second largest metropolitan area. The other airports owned and operated by LAWA are and Los Angeles International Airports, LA/Palmdale Regional and Van Nuys General Aviation.

Lewis Library & Technology Center The goal of the Fontana Redevelopment Agency is to provide the financial resources, plan, and implement specific activities and projects designed to eliminate blight and create an economically viable, attractive urban environment in defined redevelopment project areas. Only projects that will contribute to the social, economic and fiscal

improvement of the community are selected.

In 2008, the Redevelopment Agency, through the Redevelopment and Special Projects Department, completed three largescale projects. The largest endeavor was the Lewis Library and Technology Center.

The new 93,000 square foot, $60 million regional library was designed and constructed to meet strict environmental standards with the aim of achieving a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) silver or gold rating.

Included in the design were the 330 seat Steelworkers’ Auditorium, The Dr. Martin Luther

King, Jr. Children’s Library, underground parking garage and Paul Biane Great Hall to name a few of the most prominent features.

On opening day, the City and San Bernardino County Library welcomed in excess of 10,000 people to the new pride of the civic center campus with live music, treasure hunts, roaming entertainment, information and cultural arts booths, and ongoing tours of the library. Many were given a glimpse into the new performance based cultural arts programming at Steelworkers’ Auditorium as

live performances were available throughout the day.

“For most cities, opening this many state of the art

community venues within months of each other is

unparalleled. Lucky for us, we aren’t most cities.”

“Fontana is a City that believes in preserving our past

and advancing our future. Center Stage is a remarkable

project because with it, we have achieved both.”

“Our $60 million jewel is a legacy

for generations to come.”

“A promise made is a promise kept.”

“This will be a community center unlike any other.We’re not forgetting the past or the sacrifices that were made by the residents. We are honoring it.”

“We want to make it very difficult for people to decide to

leave and very easy for others to move here. With Fontana

Park we said we want all four phases at once. Build the

whole thing.”

It’s A Great Day In Fontana...Fontana ParkThe Parks and Landscape Division of Public Works is responsible for taking the lead in the design, construction, and maintenance of new and existing parks and right-of-way landscaping. In 2008, the division completed construction of the $65 million Fontana Park at Summit Avenue and Lytle Creek.

The largest developed park in Fontana’s park system, the new park includes the Jessie Turner Health and Fitness Community Center, Aquatic Center, sports arena, dog park, Skate and BMX Park, passive play areas and 1,000 trees of varying species.

In October, the City hosted a grand opening that welcomed 30,000+ people. Guests were treated to a variety of events that included tours of the Jessie Turner Health and Fitness Community Center and the Aquatics Center, skating demonstrations at the Skate and BMX Park, canine performances in the dog park, games, and live entertainment.

While staffing at the Jessie Turner Health and Fitness Community Center and Aquatics Center are managed by the Community Services Department, a contract agreement was made with Action Park Alliance to manage the full time supervision and operation of the Fontana Park Skate and BMX Park. The agreement included a similar program at Jack Bulik Skate Park in downtown Fontana.

With the recent wildfires and floods in California, now would be a good time to review your

insurance policy and verify that your coverage is adequate for your needs. A homeowner’s policy consists of different types of coverage that protect you, your home and its contents from various perils such as fire, lighting, windstorms, theft and vandalism. It pays for additional living expenses in the event of a loss.Liability coverage protects you against injuries or damages to others caused by you, a member of your family, or your pet.Medical payments to others covers the medical expenses to non-family members injured at your home.The building or dwelling limits should cover today’s cost of reconstructing your home — including the cost of materials and labor in the event of a total loss. (This is not the current market value or the remaining balance of your mortgage.) It’s important to be familiar with the construction type and building materials used in your home and any special features that might increase construction costs.Personal Property also commonly referred as “contents” is generally a percentage of the dwelling amount. Take into account all your

items including personal window coverings and small appliances. Specific items have separate limits that are included in the overall content amount; such as jewelry, fine arts, collectibles, business personal property, computer hardware and software to name a few. When additional coverage is needed, a floater or rider can be purchased. Today many individuals have upgraded their backyards into outdoor living spaces. The coverage called “dwelling extension” or “other structures” protects your investment and covers your unattached garages or other structures such as patios, pools and outdoor kitchens. If your policy only lists “dwelling extension,” ask your agent if this covers attachments to the dwelling or other structures as well. A standard policy generally uses a small percentage of the dwelling amount to determine a limit. Valuation - how much of your claim will be paid - is determined by the wording of your policy. Replacement Cost will rebuild/repair your home and contents without a deduction for depreciation within the limits of the policy. Extended replacement cost will pay a percentage over the limits to rebuild your home. This limit is general 25% above the basic policy limit. Read your policy and be sure you understand how you will be

reimbursed. Cities and counties periodically change their building codes, and if your home is older, it’s important to be sure your policy has this coverage in order for your insurance company to pay for changes needed to bring the structure up to date with current building codes. This commonly referred as “building code upgrade” or “ordinance or law coverage.” It is important to review your policy annually and whenever you have remodeled or upgraded your home. Your home is one of your greatest investments and it should be properly protected.

As one of Southern California’s leading environmental attorneys, Michelle Ouellette knows all too well the common thread shared by the Peninsular bighorn sheep, the Quino checkerspot butterfly and the desert tortoise. All three animals are on the federal endangered species list and she’s worked on efforts to protect them and dozens of other species nearing extinction across Inland Southern California. Ouellette is a partner at Best Best & Krieger, a law firm based in Riverside with seven other offices across California, including Ontario. During her 20-year practice, Ouellette has developed an expertise in endangered species laws, having worked on two of the nation’s largest multiple-species habitat conservation plans in western Riverside County and the Coachella Valley. Ouellette helped guide both massive undertakings that aim to strike a balance between environmental needs and growth for decades to come. For the species, Ouellette said, the plans set aside the right amount of land and plants they need to survive. Ouellette and her firm also represent clients who are building renewable energy projects that help reduce greenhouse gas emissions that lead to climate change. “The Inland region, with its abundance of wind and sunshine in the desert, is the perfect place to build such projects,” Ouellette said.

>> COMMUNITYEducational ChallengesFaced Head On SAN BERNARDINO: Lowering the dropout rate among students in San Bernardino County and closing the achieve-ment gap are two of the biggest educational challenges, said County Superintendent Gary Thomas in a briefing with the media. With a 26.6-percent dropout rate over a four-year period for high school students, targeting interven-tions to keep students on track to-ward graduation remains a priority for the County Schools’ office and all of the county’s 33 school dis-tricts, Thomas said. In addition, clos-ing the achievement gaps between Hispanic, African American and socioeconomically disadvantaged students and those who are White also plagues educators not just in the county, but across the state. Those were two of the topics addressed by Thomas in his first back-to-school briefing with the media since taking over as the new county superintendent in August. Local educators – Superinten-dent Virgil Barnes of the Ontario-Montclair School District and Beth Higbee, assistant superintendent of the County Schools’ Education Sup-port Services –joined Thomas to talk about reform efforts in public edu-cation. Ontario-Montclair was suc-cessful in having three of its schools leave Program Improvement this year. For the second consecutive year, the county bucked the state

trend with the number of schools in the program for not reaching their Adequate Yearly Progress goals decrease. Other public education issues discussed included the increase in the number of county schools meeting the state’s benchmark for the Academic Performance Index, as well as support for lowperform-ing schools and districts.

Some of the findings discussed were:• The flattening of enrollment in public schools in the county remains a trend. Last year’s enrollment of 428,142 was a slight increase of 701 students from 2006-07. Enrollment across the West End, East Valley and High Desert is sporadic in growth, as well as declines.• The number of schools reaching the state standard of 800 for the Academic Performing Index (API) increased by 28 schools to 112, as the county’s API Growth score in-creased 12 points to 716.• The achievement gap among county Hispanic, African American and White students closed on the California High School Exit Exam. Passing rates in both the English language arts and math portions of the exam were closer than in previ-ous years for Hispanic and African American students in comparison to Whites.

County Superintendent Holds Media Briefing

SAN BERNARDINO – Lowering the dropout rate among students in San Bernardino County

and closing the achievement gap are two of the biggest educational challenges, said County

Superintendent Gary Thomas in a briefing with the media this morning.

With a 26.6-percent dropout rate over a four-year period for high school students, targeting

interventions to keep students on track toward graduation remains a priority for the County

Schools’ office and all of the county’s 33 school districts, Thomas said.

In addition, closing the achievement gaps between Hispanic, African American and socio-

economically disadvantaged students and those who are White also plagues educators not just in

the county, but across the state.

Those were two of the topics addressed by Thomas in his first back-to-school briefing with

the media since taking over as the new county superintendent in August.

Local educators – Superintendent Virgil Barnes of the Ontario-Montclair School District and

Beth Higbee, assistant superintendent of the County Schools’ Education Support Services –

joined Thomas to talk about reform efforts in public education. Ontario-Montclair was successful

in having three of its schools leave Program Improvement this year. For the second consecutive

year, the county bucked the state trend with the number of schools in the program for not

reaching their Adequate Yearly Progress goals decrease.

CITY OF ONTARIO COMMITTED TO WATER PRESERVATIONWITH CALIFORNIA FRIENDLY® LANDSCAPE

The City of Ontario, in partnership with the Inland Empire Utilities Agency, Metropolitan Water District, and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, has implemented a California Friendly® landscape design. This landscaping blends native and drought tolerant plants, trees and ground cover into an attractive, low-maintenance, sustainable water-saving landscape. This program incorporates state-of-the-art irrigation systems into attractive designs that take into consideration site-specific wind/sun orientation, grading/drainage, soil type, and many other conditions that impact water use and landscape needs.

The California Friendly® design has been incorporated into a landscape garden at Route 60 at Euclid Avenue. This site was chosen because the amount of turf converted to the sustainable material will reduce the City’s water usage by 35-45% annually for this location. By retrofitting the irrigation heads to eliminate the overspray onto the streets and selecting a planting scheme from the 1500 California Friendly Plant Catalog from Bewaterwise.com, Ontario was able to create a healthy landscape with water conservation in mind. California Friendly® designs have also been implemented through the Ontario CARES Program.

The CARES Program improves eligible Ontario homes located in designated focus areas by providing new painting and landscaping at no cost to the homeowner. Over $11 million has been invested in the community since the inception of the CARES Program in 1998. To date, seven Ontario homes have been completed and have received the designation, and three more are currently in progress. “In the past ten years, the CARES Program has improved the exterior conditions of over 2,600 residential properties in eight different Focus Areas in our community,” explained

Mayor Paul Leon. “The incorporation of the California Friendly® program into the landscaping design will help the homeowners, and the City of Ontario, reduce water usage.”

Ontario’s Mayor and City Council are committed to investing in healthy landscape and to conserving our natural resources, thus creating a sustainable community for all Ontario residents.

CITY OF FONTANA ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES & KEEP FONTANA BEAUTIFUL

The goal of the Environmental program which is a part of the Public Works Department, Support Services Division, is to reduce the pollution of air, land, and water. Through availability of resources and educational outreach, these programs empower residents with the information and means in which to protect the environment and maintain a healthy community for future generations.

In 2008, the program met compliance with the California Integrated Waste Management Board’s requirement to divert 50% of the City’s generated wastes from the landfill and met compliance with the Clean Water Act and the National Pollution Discharge Elimination Permit. Additionally, the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Site was visited by 2,444 residents that resulted in the procurement of 121 tons of household hazardous materials and 89 tons of the materials being recycled.

CITY OF FONTANA AWARDED FUNDS BY THE METROPOLITAN WATER DISTRICT OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FOR WATER CONSERVATION PILOT PROJECT The Mayor and City Council announced that the City of Fontana Public Works Department was recently awarded monies from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California in the amount of $94,087.50. The check is a rebate for the new computer controlled irrigation system equipment installed by Public Works in the Southridge Community Facilities District area this past July. The irrigation system equipment upgrades were conducted as part of a water conservation pilot program developed for CFD 1. This pilot program was originally designed to allow Public Works to better monitor and track water usage in park and landscape areas. The upgraded equipment will help to eliminate over watering through the use of computer generated watering schedules based on actual weather conditions and specific plant needs (known as evapotranspiration or ‘ET’).As part of this pilot program, actual water use will be tracked and compared to previous year’s usage. This data will then be used to develop a cost-benefit analysis model that will be used to evaluate current equipment, and upgrade and improve irrigation water usage in the City’s entire general fund and landscape district areas. “We are excited about the pilot program’s potential,” said Chuck Hays, Director of Public Works for the City of Fontana. “Clearly conserving water and lowering costs would be of tremendous benefit for our community, and we are thrilled that the Metropolitan Water District is supporting our efforts in this regard.”For further information about the City of Fontana’s water conservation pilot program or the rebate from the Metropolitan Water District, contact Dan West at [email protected] or (909)350-6518.
