Swim Teams Make A Splash

REDLANDS>> Starting this year, Crafton Hills College students will have the chance to show off their skills in the pool. Under the auspices of San Bernardino Valley College Athletics, CHC introduced its new athletics program in the fall of 2016 with women's golf. Competing in the Pacific Coast Athletic Conference (PCAC), CHC is introducing men and women’s swimming this spring and will launch men's and women's tennis in spring 2018, men's and women's water polo in fall 2018 and men's golf in spring 2019. The swim teams will compete in Crafton’s Olympics-trial pool at its state-of-the-art Aquatics Center. As the team, they will be coached by Courtney Eads. Eads has coached professionally for six years with Claremont High School and Claremont McKenna-Harvey Mudd-Scripps College, and began swimming competitively at age five. "I am most excited about getting the Crafton Hills swim program up and running this season and being able to develop the program year after year," Eads said. "I'm also excited to develop the incoming team members and see what we can do. It's pretty awesome that I get the opportunity to develop a swim program at the 2004 Olympic Trials pool that I competed in. I feel very connected to the Crafton pool and am eager to see some fast swimming." The first home meet for Crafton was Friday, March 3 at 2 p.m. The swimmers who have participated in Eads' off-season class and committed to swimming on the team "have made tremendous progress in a very short time," the coach said. "I am looking forward to the amount of potential that they will unlock along the way." Eads said she expects the season will be "full of opportunities to fine tune the program into what it has the potential to become," and is looking forward to getting the community excited about Roadrunner swimming. She said she believes it's important for Crafton to develop an athletics program as a way to increase school pride and give students a chance to continue playing the sports they were active in during high school. "Sports is a good way to make new friends and build lasting relationships," she said. "Athletics teaches students skills that they can carry throughout their lives such as teamwork, dedication, time management and accountability. Athletics can also serve as a way of getting students to be involved in a more healthy and active lifestyle."

An October City announcement draws attention to an everyday household practice with benefits for food budgets, kitchen safety and the environment. A basket of fresh produce can represent a week's worth of meals, the results of a successful backyard harvest or an unexpected bargain at the grocery store. Yet without proper storage, even the freshest fruits and vegetables can spoil before a family has an opportunity to use them.

An October announcement highlights how investigative technology and cooperation among law enforcement agencies can help solve crimes affecting Grand Terrace neighborhoods. For residents of Grand Terrace, home is more than an address. It is where families gather, children grow up and neighbors build relationships over many years. When a residential burglary occurs, the effects can extend beyond the property taken or damage caused.

The rumble of a commercial truck passing through a city can represent two very different things. For a business awaiting a delivery, it may signal the arrival of essential supplies. For residents living near a busy roadway, it may raise concerns about traffic, noise and safety. In Grand Terrace, finding a reasonable balance between those interests is at the center of an ongoing transportation planning effort.
