Z Unusual Forfeit Leaves Confusion, Questions

12/30-01/06(8)

It all began in the game prior to the varsity contest. John Elliot, Westlakes
junior varsity head coach, was ejected from last Wednesdays JV contest
against the Agoura Chargers. Playing under National Federation of High
School Associations (NFHS) rules, Elliots ejection required him to leave the
vicinity...of the playing area. Under NFHS Rule 10-4-5-Penalty Note, adult
personnel must be out of sight and sound...during the remainder of the
game. This, however, only applies to the specific game the adult was ejected from and has no ramifications
that extend beyond the game in which the ejection occurred.

Westlake High School boys varsity basketball coach Rob Bloom spent last Thursday in poor spirits after a
ruling made by the California Interscholastic Federation-Southern Section (CIF-SS). The CIF-SS had
ordered his team forfeit an apparent victory that had been earned the night before.
Blooms team had come out on top, 73-67, during a Marmonte League
contest against Agoura High last Wednesday, leaving the Westlake Warriors
in first place. However, their victory was short-lived. The forfeit took them out
of first place and came about due to a series of unfortunate events.

Knowing that Elliot had been ejected in the junior varsity contest, varsity head coach Bloom asked the game
officials if Elliot could sit on the bench for the varsity game. The officials told Bloom that Elliot would indeed be
allowed to sit on the bench. Elliot remained on the bench for the varsity games entirety and saw Westlake
pull out a six point victory. This was anything, but the end.

coach Rob Bloom said the Warriors wouldnt be in the finals without the juniors effort this
season
Devonte Parker added 14 points for Canyon.
The title is Canyons first since 2009. The Comanches went through the playoffs without a
game closer than 16 points.
Off to A Slow Start

It took the better part of a half for the wi-fl to begin working at the Honda Center for the six
games today, all of them featuring at least one Orange County team. While I was in broadband
hell, Canyon was jumping to a 20-14 first quarter lead. Nick Anderson and Devonte Parker had
eight apiece for Canyon; Anderson also had seven rebounds.
But the Cornanches cooled considerably in the second quarter, their 12-4 rebounding
advantage tightened to 18-15, and Westlake scored five points in the last 65 seconds of the
half to take a 32-28 lead into the break.

vh

Anderson and Parker still have eight points.

\1t;iiiis.

For what its worth, Im picking Canyon in this game. I love Anderson and Anthony Ballestero.

Westlakes Lozoya has scoring touch


By Eliav Appelbaum

eliav(ttheacorn.com
As a youngster, Grant Lozoya played basketball in his backyard with his older brother,
Joseph.
Big brother brought his two friends down the street to play.
Sometimes the big kids didnt play nice.
They fouled me really hard, Lozoya said. Im used to it.
No wonder Lozoya, the dynamic 6-foot-2 senior wing for Westlake High
boys basketball, can finish after contact.

No wonder Lozoya relishes having the ball in his hands with the game
hanging in the balance.
Grant Lozoya

-.

No wonder Lozoya has helped catapult the Warriors to the top of the CIF-Southern Section
Division 2A poll.

You want him on your team, said teammate Marcos Soto, a junior post.
Lozoya, 17, showcased his diverse skills against Thousand Oaksranked No. 2 in CIF-SS Division 2AA
during Westlakes captivating 86-76 victory on Monday night.
Lozoya finished with a gamehigh 22 points, eight steals and enough highlights to dazzle the delirious Westlake
student cheering section.
Thanks to Lozoyaand a thunderous fastbreak dunk from Soto with five minutes remaining in the fourth
quarterthe WHS students turned polite clapping into frenzied conflagration. Warrior fans started throwing tiny
plush cows (courtesy of Chick-fil-A) and newspapers at each other as if they were Dodger Stadium beach
balls.
Lozoya started his night with a corner 3-pointer.

Wesliakes Lozoya has scoring touch www.toacorn.com I Thousand Oaks Acorn

He drained another trifecta


moments later.
After swiping the ball, he
zoomed up the court, made a
shake-and-bake move before
dribbling the ball behind his
back and stretching out for a
lefthanded layup a Ia James
Harden of the Houston
Rockets.
Thousand Oaks took its only
lead of the game, 48-47,
midway through the third quarter. Warrior junior wing Larry Bush immediately
responded with a layup to help Westlake retake the lead, 49-48. Lozoya then
reestablished control with a nifty off-balance running floater while getting fouled.
He calmly drilled the free throw.
He closed the quarter with a layup while shouting to the heavens.

Newspapers

Lozoya helped seal the win with two free throws and a steal in the final 40 seconds of the victory.
Bush, who finished with 11 points, walked away impressed with another Lozoya masterpiece.
His intensity is always there, Bush said. Hes always fired up
he made dishes to other guys.

Not only did he make 3s and big buckets,

Soto agreed with his teammate.


Hes a very competitive person, said Soto, who scored a season-high 19 points on Monday.
He did not want to lose this game. He brought his intensity to that game and it showed.
After the win, Lozoya talked about his passion for basketball.
Its an emotional game, said Lozoya, whose cousin Clark Nelson, a junior guard, is a teammate. It gets me
pumped up. I like clutch moments. It gets my adrenaline going. It makes me want to play harder. It makes me
want to work.
I definitely want to win league and get as far as we can in CIFand hopefully get to the state tournament.
Lozoya stretches defenses with his range from 3-point country. Hes creative at driving to the basket, and hes
become better at finishing tough shots. He has great defensive instinctshes always dangerous plucking the
ball in passing lanes or swiping the ball during lightning-fast double teams.
The son of Robin and Frank, Lozoya also has two sisters: Gabrielle is a sophomore volleyball player at
Westlake, and Vanessa (a former Agoura volleyball competitor) attends Cal State Northridge.
Lozoya enjoys playing home run derby with his friends on the Lupin Hill Elementary School field and football..
in the offseason. His favorite class is statistics.

Westlakes Lozoya has scoring touch I www.toacorn.com I Thousand Oaks Acorn

Westlake head coach Rob Bloom said he was impressed with the Warriors resilience against the physical
Lancers. He talked about Lozoya, who battled foul trouble in the first half of Mondays win.
Our question mark, if there is one, is maturity, Bloom said.
T.O. plays a physical style. During our talk at halftime, we thought we were getting pushed around a little bit.
We knew we were a little more athleticwe didnt know if we were tough enough. We answered some of those
questions.
Lozoya isnt the biggest or strongest player on the court. He knows how to take a hit and keep coming. He can
thank his older brother for that lesson.
Always play hard, Lozoya said, and give it your all.

Marmonte League boys basketball preview
By Eliav Appelbaum
eliav@theacorn.com
Its a sea of mystery in the Marmonte League for high school boys basketball.
Attempting to prognosticate the final standings would be like Captain Ahab trying to
vanquish a white whale with a spork.
Calabasas and Royal are earlyseason favorites to win league.
Defending league co-champion Thousand Oaks will also contend.
Simi Valley, which shared the Marmonte title with the Lancers, will
try and remain a top-tier team under the guidance of first-year head
coach Chris Printz.
Westlake and Agoura also feature first-year head coaches, While
Moorpark wants to improve upon a 19-win campaign.

Newbury Park hopes to rebuild after a turbulent 2010-11.


Heres a closer look at the eight Marmonte teams:
THOUSAND OAKS
LANCERS

Rich Endres will attempt to work his magic once again.


The longtime Thousand Oaks head coach will try to get the most out of this squad, which doesnt feature a
player taller than 6-foot-3 Austin Celeya and has only four returning student-athletesDakota Pierce, Tanner
Fanjoy, Eric Greene and U Wiley, who all played sparingly last year.
Were going to have to play bigger than what we actually are, Endres said.

To Optimize Your PC

Thousand Oaks shoots and handles the ball well. Endres


said this is one of the better shooting teams hes had in
several years.
Cody Anderson is a wellrounded player. He shoots,
rebounds and plays tough defense.
Jacob Lachina is one of the Lancers strongest defenders.
Well be in the mix, Endres said. Well be up there going

against Calabasas and Royal.


I know those are the top two teams in the league. Well be after them. Weve got a shot.
NEWBURY PARK
PANTHERS
Theres nowhere to go but up for the Panthers.
Newbury Park went 3-23 last year, including an 0-14 mark in Marmonte action.
Five players, including three starters, were kicked off the roster for team rule violations early during the 201011 season, said head coach Jeff Perrauft.
That deflated us, Perrault said. It took the air of our sails, and we never fully recovered.
The coach is cautiously optimistic.
Its a fragile team, Perrault admitted. Theyre young and inexperienced. From what happened last year,
theyre fragile. They dont want to go 0-14 in league again.
This will be more of a mental season than physical. I know we can compete physically, but are we mentally
tough enough to endure hardships were going to go through?
Devin Fountain, a three-year varsity senior forward, is a physical, hardworking athlete.
Kevin Leong, a junior, is a projected starter at point guard.
Vance Exstrom provides a feel-good story of perseverance for the Panthers.
Exstrom was cut as a sophomore and didnt try out last season. Hes now a starting power forward as a senior.
Junior Josh Munk is a strong defender with a decent jump shot. Senior shooting guard Steven Eckblad
complements the starting lineup.
The only other senior, Ayden Harabedian, comes off the bench.

JTh ,.,L. k+..-.I

Dimes & Dunks www.toacorn.com 1 Thousand Oaks Acorn

The emphasis has been on discipline, team cohesion and defense, Perrault said.
im going to continue to change the culture and instill as much discipline and enthusiasm into the game, and
try to make Newbury Park basketball a success.
WESTLAKE
WARRIORS
After sharing head coaching duties last season, Rob Bloom is running the show alone.
Bloom, in his 24th year coaching high school hoOps, enters his third season overall at Westlake.
The coach said the Warriors are under the radar. He likes it that way, at least for now.
Were going to be better than people think, Bloom said. Were very young. Were pretty unknown.
Bloom said Westlake will run, press and play exciting basketball. Can the young guys including a freshman
and four sophomoresmature quickly?
Were probably a little ways away from being really good, Bloom said. Weve got a lot of good, young talent.
Quentin Weinerman, a senior point guard, is the lone returning varsity starter.
The Brooks brothersnot of the fashion emporiumare promising youngsters. Junior Joshua Brooks is a
solid scorer, and his freshman brother, Isaiah, handles backup point guard duties.
Junior Grant Lozoya is an offensive threat. Marcos Soto, a 6-foot-7 sophomore wing, can stretch out a
defense. Transfer Larry Bush, a sophomore who started on Buckleys varsity last season, is another starter.
Sully Clark, a 6-foot-4.sophomore, supplies outside shooting off the bench. Senior Gabe Markowitz is also in
the rotation.
Senior post Johnny Stuart and sophomore wing Alex Egurbide will return after the Warriors football playoff
run.
Kids are putting in a lot of work, Bloom said. Teams are going to have to prepare for us.
Were not going to be a doormat, thats for sure.
CALABASAS
COYOTES
No superstar. No problem.
The Coyotes are a balanced, talented squad that will not only battle for a league title but could make a deep
postseason run in the CIF-Southern Section Division 3AA playoffs.
They have outside shooting, a creative point guard, an oldschool post player and a throng of defensive
minded stoppers.
I feel were pretty complete, said fourth- year head coach Jon Palarz.

The shuffling can stop now. Its time to play some hoops.
There are new faces in new places. Familiar foes have joined forces with old
adversaries. Its a brave new world for Marmonte League high school boys
basketball teams.
Larry Bush leaving defending league champion Westlake for
Calabasas jolted the Richter scale.
The Warriors, Coyotes and Thousand Oaks Lancers, armed
with a talented newcomer from Arizona, will contend for a
league crown this winter.

Before Larry left, we were the heavy favorites, Westlake


head coach Rob Bloom said. Now its an even playing field. Calabasas has a
very good team. Were still a top team.
Simi Valley is on the rise with a solid inside-out punch and a new head coach
with Pioneer greatness in his blood.

Newbury Park, Royal and Moorpark will contend for playoff spots. Agoura did

Former Marmonte League MVP Jeremy Lieberman returns for his senior year to run the point.
Lieberman will get help from Larry Bush, a defensive maestro and scoring machine Bush a senior
shooting guard, played at Westlake last season.
Im glad to have Larry on our side, Calabasas head coach Jon Palarz said. He kicked our butts
last year. I feel very confident in this team, especially with the experience Jeremy and Larry bring. Theyre both
dynamic and skilled players.
Austin Smith, a 6-foot-7 senior, has improved his all-around game to give Calabasas a dangerous and tall
small forward.
Were the only team to return three all-league players, and thats why Im very confident in this teams
potential to go far, Palarz said.
The Coyotes top two big men from last season transferred to other schools. Max Hoetzel is at a private

Justin Bessard, a 6-foot-6 Crespi transfer, hopes to fill the void in the paint.
Lieberman said junior guard Conner Longmire is the teams most improved player.
Calabasas hasnt forgotten about its disappointing loss to Westlake to end the regular season with the league
title on the line.
These guys dont want that to happen again, the coach said. Theyre using that loss as motivation.

The Warriors talented guards led them to the Division 2A finals and state playoffs last winter.
Westlakes size will be the key to its success this season.
Marcos Soto, a 6-foot-8 senior center, continues to take his game to new heights. He was a force in the paint
during summer and fall tournaments, according to Bloom. Soto did not like to bang in the post last season.
The Warriors will get taller in January when forward Michael Hayon and center Michael Hanshaw are eligible to
compete. Hayon transferred from Calabasas and Hanshaw played at Moorpark last season.
Soto has been playing at a new level, Bloom said. Were going to be huge. Our size is going to be big for us.

Nick Pasky and Chris Dorsey are the returnees. Dorsey, a transfer from Newbury Park Adventist last season,
was ruled ineligible to compete at TOHS last winter by the section.
The Lancers reloaded quickly with transfers and the bulk of the junior varsity team that won a league title last

Thousand Oaks spreads the floor with shooters, but the squad wont hesitate to pound the ball inside with new
big men Davis Tate and Trent Atkinson.
Tate transferred from St. Bonaventure, and Atkinson played at Royal last season. Both players wont be
cleared to suit up until January.
We didnt have size last season, Endres said. We could use that to our advantage. Well be up there with

His father, Dean, led the Pioneers to four Marmonte titles in

We make sure to remind the
guys about our good times and
bad, Bradshaw said.
We dont forget about our
rich tradition. We also havent
forgotten about walking into the
locker room on the losing side
23 times last season.
Joe Colliatie returned to Simi
Valley for his senior season after
playing for Principia High in St.
Louis the past three years. Colliatie grew up in Simi Valley,
but he moved to Missouri with
his mother before starting high
school.
Colliatie, a shooting guard,
gives the Pioneers a much-needed
perimeter scorer.
Kyle Hamilton, a 6-foot-6
sophomore center, has the potential to be one of the best post
players in the league.
Hamilton was second in Ventura County in blocks last season.
Hes developed a 3-point shot,
according to Bradshaw.
Were definitely going to
feed Kyle the ball a lot in the
paint, the coach said. He and
Joe will give us a solid insideout punch.

Head coach Craig Griffin wasnt trying to avoid the Acorns questions about his teamhe truly doesnt know
what to expect this season.
Royal returns three players from last seasons squad that reached the CIF-SS Division 3AAA championship
game. All the starters from that magical team are gone.
We dont have an impact guy, Griffin said, but we have a bunch of guys that can contribute. There will be a
different leading scorer every night.
I dont know which guys will be my scorers and who will be the rebounders. I do know that we will get a team
effort every game.
Griffin said hes optimistic his team will finish in the top half of the league standings.
Wes Tavares is the floor general. He lacks varsity experience, but hes a natural leader.
The team listens to Wes voice, Griffin said. Most of these guys came up from JV. Wes has been with them
the past three years. Hes the perfect guy to run the point.
Royal doesnt have an enforcer in the paint. The Highlanders are a guard-heavy team that likes to push the
pace on offense.
Were inexperienced, but theyre up for the challenge of keeping this team a winning program, Griffin said.
They have seen the groundwork the past teams have laid down. They want to continue that.

OVERVIEW
The Panthers have momentum
heading into this season.
Newbury Park had a forgettable year last winter, but the
squad still found a way into the
postseason.
The Panthers battled Redondo
Union, a state champion, for three
quarters in the first round of the
CIF-Southern Section Division
2A bracket.
We dont want to think about
last year, Newbury Park head
coach Mike DuLaney said. It
was a bad league season, but we
gained confidence in the playoffs.
Take away a bad second quarter,
and we only lost by two points to
a very good team.
Were going to use that momentum to put us on the right
track for a bounce-back season.
Senior small forward Tyler
Cartaino led the Panthers in virtually every statistical category
in 2012-13. The Panthers wont be a one-man show this season, according to DuLaney.
Forwards Sam Jennings and Spencer Netka give the Black Cat Attack a boost.
Netka is only 6-foot-3, but he corrals rebounds like a 7-foot enforcer.
Spencer is our glue guy, Du- Laney said. Hell go after every rebound. Our team feeds off his energy.
The Panthers roster features 12 seniors and six returners from last seasons squad. Theyll use that
experience to their advantage.

OVERVIEW
The Musketeers have no problem taking things slow.
Moorpark features many players who prefer grinding it out in
the halfcourt.
We have a lot of guys with
no varsity experience, Moorpark
head coach Eddie Gutierrez said.
Were going to slow down the
game. That should help them get
used to the varsity pace.
Theyre a scrappy bunch. I
want them to be aggressive and
play at their pace. We wont be a
run-up-and-down team.
Nick Clarke, a third-year varsity small forward, will lead the
young Musketeers.
Clarke, Tyler Collet and Anthony Upshaw excelled on the
football field this fall. They hope
the success transfers to the basketball hardwood.
The football guys will be big
for us, Gutierrez said. Clarke is
very athletic and has plenty of experience. Collet will lead the offense at point guard and Anthony
can play at multiple positions.
Theyre not in basketball
shape yet. They should be there
soon.
Tobias Capitano and Blake
Jansen are physical forwards.
Jansen is a volleyball standout
who can jump out of the gym.
Moorpark opens its season
Dec. 2 at the San Fernando Valley
Invitational.

As first reported by the Los Angeles Times, Westlake (Calif.) High


has been forced to forfeit its victory against Agoura (Calif.) High
because it allowed the schools junior varsity coach to sit on the
bench during the varsity game. The California Interscholastic
Federations Southern Section later ruled that the coach should
not have been allowed on the bench for the varsity game because
he had previously been ejected from the preceding junior varsity
game.
While that explanation is somewhat logical if slightly bizarre it
comes with a catch: Westlake head varsity coach Rob Bloom
checked with game officials to ensure that junior varsity coach

prior ejection. Agoura officials appealed that decision the following


day, and the Southern Section ruled in favor of the losing squad.
I was depressed all day, Bloom told the Times. The kids are
devastated because they wanted to be in first place.
Instead, Westlake was handed a surprising Marmonte League
loss, despite the fact that the schools head coach actually
followed the protocol subscribed for when they are uncertain about
a rule interpretation.
[Y! News video: California school employees win lotto

Of course, thats where the logic behind the forfeit begins to break
down. If a school consulted with game officials about a decision,
shouldnt the referees be the ones punished for their mistake?
How can varsity players, who had absolutely nothing to do with a
banned coach sitting on their bench, be held responsible for a
misunderstanding by their coaches and game officials?
It doesnt make much sense, but then again, perhaps that
only makes the decision par for the Southern Section course.

Who will be kings of court?


By Gilberto Manzano

The shuffling can stop now. Its time to play some hoops.
There are new faces in new places. Familiar foes have joined forces with old adversaries. Its a
brave new world for Marmonte League high school boys basketball teams.
Larry Bush leaving defending league champion Westlake for Calabasas jolted
the Richter scale.
The Warriors, Coyotes and Thousand Oaks Lancers, armed with a talented
newcomer from Arizona, will contend for a league crown this winter.
Before Larry left, we were the heavy favorites, Westlake head coach Rob
Bloom said. Now its an even playing field. Calabasas has a very good team.
Were still a top team.
Simi Valley is on the rise with a solid inside-out punch and a new head coach with Pioneer greatness in his
blood.
Newbury Park, Royal and Moorpark will contend for playoff spots. Agoura did not respond to multiple phone
calls, emails or a campus visit for this story.
Heres a closer look at the Marmonte League landscape:

the past three years. Hes the perfect guy to run the point.

Warriors run n gun to first Marmonte title since 1996


Red-hot Westlake boys basketball team opens playoffs Friday
at
home

By Ellav Appelbaum
eIiavCtheacorn..com
The Warriors dont fit into any idyllic category.
The Westlake High boys basketball team has a little attitude. A little swagger.
A little chutzpah.
Its never easy here, said Rob Bloom, Westlakes
secondyear head coach.
Even when were winning, its not always rosy.

Theres pressure from parents and a passionate


community that demands wins. Theres little margin for
error in the cutthroat Marmonte League. During inevitable 3 Points Mentioned
swoons, Warriors sometimes morph into Teen Wolf-mode, going one-on-five
and forcing acrobatic but ghastly shots.
They do things that drive you crazy, Bloom said. Its because they want to
win.
Its rarely perfect, but its working.
The Warriors have found the equilibrium between recklessness and control,
cockiness and confidence, flash and substance, anarchy and serenity.

They are never boring.


They are Marmonte champions for the first time since 1996, before starting sophomore point guard Isaiah
Brooks was born.

> Dang, I just thought about that,


AccessDeniedAccess
Denied3BE2B1CD7D6A2CB82fo1BDHbQpL Brooks said. Its great for the school.
We finally pulled it off.

Westlake (22-4 overall, 12-2 in the


Marmonte) opens the ClFSouthern
Section Division 2A playoffs at 7 p.m.
Friday at home against La Habra (916 overall). Westlake is the No. I
seed in the tournament.
The Warriors returned the core from
the 2011-12 squad, but theyve
matured on and off the court.
According to Bloom, 90 percent of the varsity players have grade-point averages at or
above 3.0.
Brooks has blossomed at the point. Although the 15-year-old can drive to the hoop
whenever he wants, Brooks dishes slick passes to open teammates while playing
tenacious on-ball defense.

SCORERWestlake
senior guard Grant
Lozoya leads the
Warriors in points and
steals per game. The
Warriors play La
Habra at home on
Friday night at 7 p.m.

If I have to score, I will, Brooks said. I want to get everyone involved first.
Were getting known as a team. Theres no more individual play. Were playing as a team.
Brooks averages 7.5 points, 4.1 assists and 2.3 steals per game.
Marcos Soto is one of the most versatile centers in the area.
The 6-foot-8 junior possesses a knockdown baseline jumper that extends beyond the 3-point arc. Sotos
shooting range pulls bigs (like 6-foot-9 Royal senior Scott Woods) away from the paint, freeing driving lanes for
Isaiah Brooks, Josh Brooks, Grant Lozoya and Larry Bush.
Soto is an underrated defender, and hes the best free-throw shooter (83 percent) on the team.
Weve been known only for football, Soto said. The basketball program is starting to step up.
Theres been a lot of ball movement. Were sharing the ball and getting a lot of good looks, and were
stepping up our defense.
Isaiah Brooks brother, Josh, is a senior shooting guard. Josh Brooks is a defensive maestro who leads
Westlake in rebounding (5.7) and is second in steals (2.8) per game. He also pours in 13.3 points per outing.
The Brooks brothers said Westlake made a statement after the Warriors clobbered Calabasas 78-53 last week
in the regularseason finale.
That was our best game as a team, Isaiah Brooks said.
Everyone believes in each other this year, Josh Brooks said. Were hard to stop when we move the ball and
play as a team. When everyones locked in (defensively), its hard for people to score on us.
Bush is this teams X-factor.

Bloom said the entire team feeds off Bush (14.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.2 steals per game) when the
dynamic junior gets in an offensive rhythm.
Bushs pesky defense frustrated reigning league MVP Jeremy Lieberman of Calabasas last week. Bush scored
24 points in the rout.
Alex Egurbide, a junior forward and football standout, provides toughness off the bench.
Jason Blumhardt, Johnny Schneider and Clark Nelson solidify the rotation. Will Pearson, Christian Marquez
and Sully Clark also contribute for Westlake.
On a team with multiple options, Lozoya is the star.
The senior guard averages 18 points, 3.1 steals, 2.5 assists and 3.8 rebounds per game.
Lozoya, a senior guard, is one of the most dynamic, talented and charismatic players in the league. He has a
knack for draining deep 3-pointers and fluttering in offbalance layups through contact.
Need someone to take the last shot of the game? Lozoyas the guy.
Now its about winning a section championship.
I have a good feeling about CIF, Lozoya said.
I think I speak for everyone on the team: I really want a ring. Really bad.

PLAYOFF WATCH
Thousand Oaks (21-6) opens the CIF-Southern Section Division 2AA playoffs as the No. 2 seed on the road
against Westminster (12-14) at Marina High.
Newbury Park (7-19) is at Redondo Union (18-8) while Moorpark (13-13) plays at Elsinore (20-7) in Division
2A.
The games tip off Friday night at 7.
Wednesday first-round results for Calabasas, Oak Park, Oaks Christian, Viewpoint, Newbury Park Adventist
and Royal were not available at press time.

Warrior matures into leader


Dynamic point guard steps up for Westlake boys basketball team
By Eliav Appelbaum

eliav@theacorn.com
Expectations, pressure and responsibility could have crushed the kids
spirits.
Isaiah Brooks was thrust into a point guard role as a freshman with the
Westlake High boys basketball team.
The Warriors struggles belied moments of brilliance.
Hed turn the ball over one possession. The next
second, hed steal the ball, slice through the lane like a
samurai and bury an acrobatic off-balanced floater.

Brooks, who recentlyturned 16, is nowajuniorforone


of the Marmonte Leagues best teams. Hes a fearless
*IIIWkAL4IlIj.t
competitor who can disappear for long stretches before
dominating in crunch time. He is a talented enigma, someone still searching
for the delicate balance between chaos and control.

The Warrior is not the polished PG herohes the rebel in the R-rated flick who plays with an edge, with
swagger, with junkyard dog nastiness. Hes the reallife equivalent of Snake Plissken from Escape from L.A.,
minus the eye patch and New Wave mullet. (Metaphorical gold stars for anyone who remembers the
basketball scene in the classic Kurt Russell movie).
Brooks has appropriately earned the nickname Social Security. He always seems to be hobbling with minor
injuries from playing with relentless passion.
Throughout his prep career, Brooks has toiled in the shadows of other great point guards in the area, namely
Jeremy Lieberman of Calabasas and Ron Lee, formerly of Oak Park.
Now is his time to snare the spotlight.

I feel like the games coming easier to


me, Brooks said. Its knowing where my
shooters are, knowing when we need a
bucket and how to get it. Im taking fewer

By no means is he a finished product. The exciting thing for us is we think hell keep getting better.
The 5-foot-lO, 153-pound dynamo helped Wesliake reach the CIF-Southern Section Division 2Achampionship
as a sophomore.
He likes big games, Bloom said. He likes the bright lights.
Brooks averaged 12.8 points, 3.8 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 2.6 steals per game in his first
12 outings this season. He was draining 44 percent of his 3-point attempts, the top figure
on the team. Hes one of the toughest, most aggressive defensive guards in Ventura
County.
His basketball IQ has improved. He understands the game more, said teammate Marcos
Soto, a 6-foot-8 senior captain with an offer to play at Dartmouth College in the Ivy League.
Soto admires Brooks fearlessness.
Hell drive the ball into the trees, Soto said. Hes not afraid of anything.
Brooks played with his older brother, Josh, for two seasons at Westlake.

Westlake boy& basketball falls to Redondo Union in section title game

The heartbroken Warriors sat on the bench while the Redondo Union High boys basketball team celebrated its CIF-Southern
Section Division 2A championship.
Westlake didnt move during the championship ceremony.
Some players watched silently while others hung their heads, tears dripping onto the hardwood.
We went back to old habits and didnt play our game, senior guard Grant Lozoya said after the topseeded Warriors fell to Redondo Union 68-63 at the Anaheim Convention Center last weekend.

The Warriors (26-5 overall) committed careless turnovers during


crunch time and went cold for long stretches from the field.
Westlake head coach Rob Bloom could deal with the missed
field goals and miscues, but he refused to examine the stat
sheet, where his team strained to make free throws.

1 dont even want to look at those stats, Bloom said after the
Warriors went 16-of-28 from the charity stripe. We just couldnt
get a flow for any length of time. They made shots and hit free throws.
It was a battle between two
evenly matched teams. If only
we hit our free throws.

Going back to this stage, I thought I would be able to do it, Bush said. When I was a

I feel like Im getting tested. Losing my freshman and junior years only motivates me more

to get better for my senior year.


Next season, Westlake will march forward without current seniors Lozoya, Josh Brooks, Jason Blumhardt, Johnny Schneider and Will Pearson, The Warriors will retain
a solid nucleus of Bush. sophomore point guard Isaiah Brooks and lunior forward Marcos Soto.
Isaiah Brooks struggled this postseason.
Bloom, however, showed faith in the sophomore by sending Brooks onto the floor for the fourth quarter and pulling Schneider, who played a vital role in Westlakes
rally.
With the score tied 52-52 and 4:52 left in regulation, Brooks missed a contested floater and committed back-to-back turnovers near half court.

We wanted to keep Johnny in, but we wanted to give Isaiah another shot, Bloom said.
We like Isaiah in a sense that he can go by people. I just didnt think he made good decisions when he got back.
Bush said he isnt worried about Brooks.
I think this is a good stage for Isaiah coming here as a sophomore, Bush said. I think hell be more poised for state playoffs and next season. Hell mature
a lot from
this.
Hes taking the loss hard.
Westlake had arguably the best starting five in the county this season with Bush, Lozoya, Soto and the Brooks brothers, Josh and Isaiah.
However, the bench was a big reason Westlake erased the Sea Hawks 10-point advantage.
Midway through the third quarter, Bloom inserted Schneider, who orchestrated the halfcourt offense; lunior forward Alex Egurbide, whose physicality
gave Redondos
big men fits; and Blumhardt, who hit clutch 3-pointers down the stretch.
We have lot of good players that can fit into any offense, Bush said. Jason made big shots. Johnny controlled the game and got us back to 52-52.
Alex was
rebounding and being a monster inside.
Those guys could start for any school in the Marmonte League.
Results of Westlakes firstround Division 2 state game at home against Arroyo Grande on Wednesday werent available before press time,
Lozoya, who scored 18 points and only sat on the bench for eight seconds, covered his face in a warm-up jacket after the loss,
But the senior captain was proud of what Westlake accomplished in the regular season and in the section tournament.
Im happy with us getting here, but Im obviously upset that we lost, Lozoya said.
Im still pretty excited to win the league title for the first time since 96. I was hoping to get the CIF title, but next years team will be good.

realize if you havent already affirmed there is lots of material proof that the

requesting by November 1st two things from Westlake High School.... Upset or

not, failure to show due diligence by WHS staff will result in the Concerned

PURSUANT TO C.C.P. 425J6

employment and tax laws and tried diligently to help him see the errors of his

ways. Slob Rob wouldnt listen. Exhibit E to Plaintiffs Complaint.

7.

I have never made any complaint about Plaintiff Bloom to any third party without a good

faith, reasonable belief in its underlying truth. I had and continue to have a good faith, reasonable belief

in the underlying truth of every statement I made within each one of the six emails attached to Plaintiffs

Complaint. I did not make any of these statements lightly, and I expressly qualified them within my email

messages themselves as complaints that I asked the Conejo Valley Unified School District and/or

Westlake High School to address in substantive fashion. Both the Conejo Valley Unified School District

and Westlake High School have wholly ignored all six of my email messages demanding some kind of

10
11

response to my complaints.
8.

I based my comments in the six emails attached to Plaintiffs Complaint on my personal

12

years-long observation of Plaintiff Blooms coaching my son and other members of the Westlake High

13

School mens basketball team, on my personal interactions with Plaintiff Bloom, on my personal

14

interactions with other members of the Westlake High School coaching staff and on my personal

15

interactions with other employees of Westlake High School. I based the comments in my emails attached

16

to Plaintiffs Complaint on my communications with my son Sully and my daughter Sydney, who spoke

17

to me about their experiences with Plaintiff Bloom and other employees ofWestlake High School. I based

18

the comments in my emails attached to Plaintiffs Complaint on my communications with other parents

19

and family members of other members of the Westlake High School mens basketball team, including

20

but not limited to Cynthia Truhan. I also based the comments in my emails attached to Plaintiffs

21

Complaint on my communications with the aforementioned governmental agencies the I.R.S., the U.S.

22

Department of Labor, and the California state equivalents thereof the State Franchise Tax Board and

23

the Department of Industrial Relations.

24

9.

In addition to the same, I based the comments in my emails attached to Plaintiffs

25

Complaint on my and other parents years-long investigation into Plaintiff Blooms personal,

26

professional, and financial connections with Westlake High School and Westlake Sports Camp. As part
9
DEFENDANTS EVIDENCE IN SUPPORT OF HIS SPECIAL MOTION TO STRIKE PLAINTIFFS COMPLAINT
PURSUANT TO C.C.P. 425.16

of my investigation, I have uncovered a number of troubling facts and documents relating to Plaintiff

Blooms tenure at Westlake High School, as well as his management of Westlake Sports Camp, which I

summarize briefly as follows:

(a)

Under I.R.C.

501(c)(3)-1(c)(2), [ajn organization is not operated exclusively

for one or more exempt purposes if its net earnings inure in whole or in part to the

benefit of private individuals.

(b)

According to Westlake Sports Camps publicly-available 990 federal tax forms

from 2011-2013 (true and correct copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits

Nos. 1-3), Westlake Sports Camp is listed as a 501(c) (3) non-profit entity and is

10
II

consequently exempt from various federal tax rules and requirements.


(c)

According to these same forms, Plaintiff Bloom has been paid up to $75,000 per

12

year as a salary by Westlake Sports Camp. This salary is approximately two to

13

three times the wages earned by comparable area summer camp directors in a

14

twenty-mile radius. For example, I know from my personal discussions with the

15

director of nearby First Neighborhood Camp that he earned approximately

16

$30,000/year for performing comparable work. I also know how much I earned

17

as a summer camp director in years past.

18

(d)

Because Westlake Sports Camp only operates for approximately eight (8) weeks

19

out of the year, Plaintiff Bloom in effect is paying himself nearly $10,000/week or

20

nearly $300/hour for his time spent working with the non-profit Westlake

21

Sports Camp, a sum that I believe by itself violates the federal inurement laws and

22

restrictions on non-profit entities as referenced above.

23

(e)

According to these same 990 forms, Plaintiff Bloom claims to be a full-time, year-

24

round employee and director of Westlake Sports Camp, even though he also is

25

and has been a full-time, year-round employee and coach for Westlake High

26

School and a full-time, year-round employee and director of Game On Westlake!,


10
DEFENDANTS EVIDENCE IN SUPPORT OF HIS SPECIAL MOTION TO STRIKE PLAINTIFFS COMPLAINT
PURSUANT TO C.C.P. 425J6

another non-profit sports camp in Westlake Village. Insofar as it is impossible for

Plaintiff Bloom to be a full-time, year-round employee for all three entities

simultaneously, I believe that he has misrepresented his employment status on

these tax forms.

(f)

Insofar as Westlake Sports Camp has not operated as a nonprofit entity within

the meaning of I.R.C.

the foregoing facts, this entity consequently stands to owe a considerable amount

of back-taxes and related penalties owed for these years. According to my research

online, including but not limited to my sections of the I.R.S. website and small

10

business guidance websites, willful tax evasion and/or submission of false tax

11

forms constitutes a criminal offense for which offenders may be sentenced to

12

considerable jail time on top of large criminal fines. True and correct partially

13

redacted copies ofwebsite pages explaining some of these rules and regulations in

14

lay-person terms that I relied upon in part to draw my aforementioned

15

conclusions are attached hereto as Exhibit No. 4.

16

(g)

501(c)(3) during the years 2009 through 2013 based on

Westlake Sports Camps 990 forms reflect that Plaintiff Bloom is a director and

17

his father Ronald are members of the board. These forms reflect that Westlake

18

Sports Camp earns between $250,000 and $370,000 in reported revenue. These

19

forms otherwise reflect a number of curious and/or problematic expense entries

20

as follows:

21

(1)

$57,000 to $69,000 per year in salaries purportedly paid to unidentified

22

employees, which is particularly troubling given the fact that student

23

volunteers comprising this entitys work-force were paid $0 during the

24

same reported years 2011-201.3;

25
26

(2)

$51,000 to $91,000 per year for unidentified program expenses


unrelated to facility rental, payroll, or equipment, for the years 2011-2013;
11

1
DEFENDAN
S
T EVIDENCE IN SUPPORT OF HIS SPECIAL MOTION TO STRIKE PLAINTIFFS COMPLAINT
PURSUANT TO C.C.P. 425.16

(3)

$18,000 as a repeated unpaid loan owed to Plaintiff Blooms father

Ronald for start-up costs & operating expenses for the years 2011-

20132;

(4)

$8,000 $10,000 for unspecified credit card charges for the years 2011-

2013;

(5)

$2,880

$3,700 for unspecified maintenance expenses (of what? The

entity owns no real property to maintain according to these same

forms) for the years 2011-2013;

(6)

10

$12,000 to $22,000 in uniform expenses for a summer camp that


provides no uniforms to employees for the years 2011-2013;

(7)

1.1

12

$9,000 in other employee benefits paid in 2012 but not in 2011 or 2013;
and

13

(8)

14

Given the fact that Plaintiff Blooms father is listed as the Treasurer of this entity

15

and Plaintiff Bloom lists himself as the individual in charge of the entitys books

16

and records, we find a number of these entries highly suspicious.

17

(h)

$41,000 in unspecified debts carried forward in 2012.

From 2009 through 2013, Westlake Sports Camp has not operated or owned any

18

facilities of its own but instead has leased large portions of Westlake High

19

Schools campus and facilities for its own use. After comparing the publicly

20

available listed facility rental fees for school facilities (true and correct copies of

21

which are attached hereto as Exhibit No. 5 for the 2013-2014 year) with the

22

amounts paid by Westlake Sports Camp according to its 990 forms, other

23

concerned WHS parents and I observed considerable discrepancies between the

24

same. Among other things, we noted the following:

25
26
2 This entity was purported started four years earlier in 2007 according to the same forms.

12
DEFENDANTS EVIDENCE IN SUPPORT OF HIS SPECIAL MOTION TO STRIKE PLAINTIFFS COMPLAINT
PURSUANT TO C.C.P. 425.16

(1)

Westlake Sports Camp rented the Open House facilities for six (6) hours
at no charge;

(2)

Westlake Sports Camp rented the school parking lot at no charge;

(3)

Westlake Sports Camp rented the locker room at no charge;

(4)

Westlake Sports Camp rented four (4) tennis courts but only paid for one

(1);

(5)

Westlake Sports Camp rented the swimming pool for approximately one
fourth of its actual rental rate;

In sum, we roughly calculate that Westlake Sports Camp paid the Conejo Valley

10

Unified School District approximately half of the fair rental rate for the camps

11

use of the public school facilities or approximately $212,280 owed the school

12

district from 2009 through 2013. Because Plaintiff Bloom is and has been the

13

President/Executive Director of Westlake Sports Camp and he also happens

14

to be head basketball coach for WHS mens basketball team, we have inferred that

15

Plaintiff Bloom necessarily was involved in the arrangements between the school

16

and his non-profit camp whereby the camp underpaid the school for facility

17

rental fees. A chart that I created reflecting these discrepancies and roughly

18

calculating monies owed to the school and/or school district by Westlake Sports

19

Camp over the past few years is attached hereto as Exhibit No. 6.

20

(i)

For the years that my son Sully was part of the WHS mens basketball team, he

21

was essentially required to work for free for Plaintiff Blooms non-profit

22

Westlake Sports Camp. My son Sully specifically informed me that Plaintiff

23

Bloom held a meeting at Westlake High School in May 2011 during seventh

24

period, which all members of the Westlake High School basketball team were

25

required to attend. I later came to learn through Sully that this meeting occurred

26

every year around the same time of the year in May, in spite of being in direct
13
DEFENDANTS EVIDENCE IN SUPPORT OF HIS SPECIAL MOTION TO STRIKE PLAINTIFFS COMPLAINT
PURSUANT TO C.C.P. 425.16

violation of Conejo Valley Unified School District anti-solicitation policies. At

this meeting, Plaintiff Bloom explained to the members of the team that he was

involved with WSC and that he wanted the members of the basketball team to

work over the summer as volunteers for the summer camp. Plaintiff Bloom

further implied that those members who failed to work at WSC as volunteers

would not be permitted to play for the Westlake High School basketball team the

following year, i.e. that they would not make the team and/or be benched and be

denied playing time during games.

(j)

From 2009 through 2013, Westlake Sports Camp has relied almost entirely on the

10

labor of minor employees between the ages of 14 and 16, who are characterized in

11

the Westlake Sports Camp literature issued by the camp via Plaintiff Bloom

12

alternately as volunteers, employees, and counselors. My son Sully

13

Clark worked approximately thirty (30) hours per week for Westlake Sports

14

Camp during the summers of 2011 and 2012 as one of these volunteers in

15

exchange for which he was paid $0. Sully received less than one (1) hour of

16

training for his job, he and his fellow underage volunteers (who numbered

17

approximately 30 in total for each year) were fully responsible for supervising and

18

director the day-long activities of Westlake Sports Camps participants (typically

19

children under the age of 12), and were even required to keep track of their hours

20

worked with time-cards issued by PlaintiffBloom. A true and correct copy of Sully

21

Clarks employee handbook from 2011 is attached to his accompanying

22

Declaration as Exhibit No. 1. No W-2 forms were issued to my son Sully Clark,

23

nor were any issued to his fellow volunteers, to my knowledge and per my

24

inquiries into the same, in violation of I.R.C.

25

and/or Westlake Sports Camp withheld taxes owed on wages earned by my son

26

Sully and his fellow volunteers, considerable back taxes and related penalties

6041(a). Insofar as Plaintiff Bloom

14
DEFENDANTS EVIDENCE IN SUPPORT OF HIS SPECIAL MOTION TO STRIKE PLAINTIFFS COMPLAINT
PURSUANT TO C.C.P. 425.16

would be owed for the same. Insofar as Plaintiff Bloom and/or Westlake Sports

Camp willfully committed this tax evasion, criminal penalties, including but not

limited to considerable jail time, could also be imposed by the I.R.S.

(k)

In addition to the labor laws referenced above, I understand from my online legal

research with the California Department of Industrial Relations website and

related websites that all minor children in the state of California must be paid

wages for their time working, the same as adults would be paid. This means that

they must receive at least California minimum wage pursuant to California Labor

Code

1197 or federal minimum wage under 29 U.S.C. 206, 207, and 214,

10

whichever is higher (as per Labor Code 1182, 28 U.S.C. 218). As set forth above,

11

my son Sully received $0 in exchange for his work for Westlake Sports Camp, as

12

did the other volunteers working full-time to operate and manage the camp

13

under Plaintiff Bloom.

14

(1)

I understand that California labor regulations require Westlake Sports Camp, as

15

with all other employers, to provide regular meal and rest breaks to its employees

16

under California Labor Code

17

meal or rest breaks, nor did his fellow volunteers.

18

(m)

512. My son Sully did not receive many of these

19

20

21.

receive any wages and insofar as he intermittently worked over these overtime

22

benefits despite working overtime hours, nor did his fellow volunteers.

23

(n)

510. Insofar as my son Sully did not

I understand that California labor regulations require Westlake Sports Camp, as

24

with all other employers, to issue pay stubs to all employees accurately reflecting

25

time worked and wages earned under California Labor Code

226(a). My son

26
15
DEFENDANTS EVIDENCE IN SUPPORT OF HIS SPECIAL MOTION TO STRIKE PLAINTIFFS COMPLAINT
PURSUANT TO C.CP. 425.16

Sully did not receive any such pay stubs or earnings statements from his employer

Westlake Sports Camp despite working full-time through two summers.

(o)

Because Westlake Sports Camp did not purchase and pay for workers

compensation-type insurance to cover any workplace injuries my son Sully might

suffer while working for Westlake Sports Camp, my wife and I were forced to

purchase such insurance ourselves. I understand from my prior experience

running my own sports camp that such workers compensation insurance must

be purchased by the employer under state law, i.e. California Labor Code

(p)

3700.

In contrast to his treatment by Westlake Sports Camp, my son Sully and his fellow

10

basketball teammates were each paid ten dollars per hour for the exact same kind

11

of work at another area sports camp owned and operated by Plaintiff Bloom

12
13

Game On Westlake!
3
(q)

In December 2011, Plaintiff Bloom required my son Sully and other members of

14

the Westlake High School mens basketball team to miss class so as to participate

15

in and star in a commercial for a local Dicks Sporting Goods. Plaintiff Bloom

16

notified all varsity players of the team that they were to miss class and instead

17

participate in the filming of this commercial on campus. When my son Sully

18

informed Plaintiff Bloom that he was unable to participate because he had an

19

important H Chemistry exam at that time, Plaintiff Bloom screamed at Sully that

20

he was required to participate. To my knowledge, Plaintiff Bloom did not obtain

21

any required permits for this commercial, nor were any team members

22

compensated for the commercial. Consistent with Blooms other nonprofit

23

activities conducted with Westlake High School basketball team members on

24
25
26

3 Further underscoring the fact that both camps are one and the same entity, Westlake Sports Camps 2013 Form 990 listed
Game On Westlake as one of its fictitious business names, even though the entity has existed and operated since at least
2009 under Plaintiff Blooms control and ownership. Exhibits Nos. 1-4. Westlake Sports Camp did not list this fictitious
business name on its prior Form 990s.

16
DEFENDANTS EVIDENCE IN SUPPORT OF HIS SPECIAL MOTION TO STRIKE PLAINTIFFS COMPLAINT
PURSUANT TO C.C.P. 425.16

campus, I suspected that Bloom personally profited in some fashion from this

commercial filming.

(r)

My son Sully personally informed me on numerous occasions that he was bullied,

screamed at, and berated by Plaintiff Bloom through his years with the WHS

basketball team. I observed such behavior from Bloom myself directed toward my

son Sully and toward other members of the WHS basketball team during games

that I attended. I repeatedly complained to Plaintiff Bloom, other members of the

coaching staff, and school and school district officials about this, to no avail.

Plaintiff Bloom in particular spent forty-five (45) minutes explaining to my son in

10

detail during his exit interview in March 2013 that he was worthless and

11

uncoachable. Again, I learned of the same from my subsequent discussion with

12

my son Sully.

13

(s)

For every year my son Sully was part of the WHS mens basketball team, he

14

(meaning my wife and I) was required to pay a player participation fee totaling

15

$600 to an entity called Westlake High School Basketball Team Boosters,

16

which entity was headed by Plaintiff Bloom. Because the various divisions of the

17

mens basketball team had approximately fifty-two (52) members total every year,

18

this means that this entity, which Plaintiff Bloom controlled, received over

19

$30,000 per year from these students, ostensibly to offset the $30,000+ in annual

20

expenses incurred by the basketball program. I have not been able to locate any

21

public records reflecting the registration of this entity with any state or

22

governmental agency, neither as a fictitious business name nor as a non-profit

23

entity nor as any type of corporation or partnership.

24

(t)

After several parents complained about students not receiving wages for their

25

work for Westlake Sports Camp in 2012, Plaintiff Bloom informed the parents,

26

including me, at a parent meeting held on campus at Westlake High School in


17
DEFENDANTS EVIDENCE IN SUPPORT OF HIS SPECIAL MOTION TO STRIKE PLAINTIFFS COMPLAINT
PURSUANT TO C.C.P. 425.16

2012 that the students had been paid approximately $3/hour in wages, and that

these wages had been used to offset their player participation fees for the

following year. They would not permit us to retain copies of our childrens

handwritten time-sheets for Westlake Sports Camp.

(u)

I came to learn in 2013 that several Westlake High School administrative

employees in the schools front office were employed by Westlake Sports Camp

under the direction of Plaintiff Bloom to prepare and distribute paperwork for

Westlake Sports Camp to its student volunteers. My son Sully specifically was

instructed by Plaintiff Bloom to fill out certain forms relating to his employment

10

with Westlake Sports Camp and turn it in with Westlake High School front office

11

staff for each year that he worked for the camp.

12

(v)

In October 2014, my wife and I purchased $3,000 worth of three-inch thick court-

13

side chairs and donated them to Westlake High School for the schools use to seat

14

mobility-impaired guests and other fans at games. I specifically donated them to

15

the school so that they could be used by the school in any and all types of events

16

requiring extra seating. When I donated the chairs, I asked school officials to

17

provide a receipt acknowledging their acceptance of the chairs and for them to

18

notify the rest of the school teams that these chairs were free for all of them to

19

use. Shortly thereafter, I learned from my daughter Sydney that the WHS

20

womens basketball team coach Chuck Aplin had been bullied by Bloom and

21

Benkert in response to my demands for the receipt and acknowledgment. I also

22

learned that Plaintiff Bloom claimed my donated chairs as his own and refused

23

to share them with other school employees. A true and correct email message

24

from October 15, 2014 from Westlake High School Womens Basketball Team

25

Booster Club President Andrea Mettel reflecting the same is attached hereto as

Fact Sheet 32- Wage and Hour Division (WHD)

U.S. Department of Labor

United States Department of Labor


Wage and Hour DMsion
Wage and Hour Division (WHD)
(Revised July 2008)

()

Fact Sheet #32: Youth Minimum Wage

Act

Fair Labor Standards

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) establishes minimum wage, overtime pay, recordkeeping and youth
employment standards affecting full-time and part-time workers in the private sector and in Federal, State,
and
local governments. The FLSA requires payment of the Federal minimum wage to all covered and nonexempt
employees. Overtime pay at a rate of not less than one and one-half times the regular rate of pay is
required for
all hours worked over 40 in a workweek.
The 1996 Amendments to the FLSA allow employers to pay a youth minimum wage of not less than $4.25
an
hour to employees who are under 20 years of age during the first 90 consecutive calendar days after initial
employment. The law contains certain protections for employees that prohibit employers from displacing
any
employee in order to hire someone at the youth minimum wage. This fact sheet provides general answers
to
questions that may arise about the youth wage provisions.

What is the youth minimum wage?


The youth minimum wage is authorized by Section 6(g) of the FLSA, as amended by the 1996 FLSA
Amendments. The aw allows employers to pay employees under 20 years of age a lower wage for a limited
period 90 calendar days, not work days after they are first employed. Any wage rate above $4.25
an hour
may be paid to eligible workers during this 90-day period.
--

--

Who may be paid the youth minimum wage?


Only employees under 20 years old may be paid the youth minimum wage and only during the first 90
consecutive calendar days after initial employment by their employer.

Which employers may use the youth minimum wage?


All employers covered by the FLSA may pay eligible employees the youth minimum wage, unless prohibited
by
State or local law. Where a State or local law requires payment of a minimum wage higher than $4.25 an
hour
and makes no exception for employees under age 20, the higher State or local minimum wage standard would
apply.

When does the 90-day eligibility period start and end?


The eligibility period runs for 90 consecutive calendar days beginning with the first day of work for an employer.
It does not matter when the job offer was made or accepted (or when the employee was considered hired).
The 90-day period starts with (and includes) the first day of work for the employer. The 90-day period is counted
as consecutive days on the calendar, not days of work. It does not matter how many days during this period
the
youth actually performs any work.

What happens if an employee reaches 20 years of age before he or she has


worked the full 90-day eligibility period for the employer? Can the
employee still be paid the youth wage for the full 90-day period?
4,. .......k_11

1/9/2015

Fact Sheet 32- Wage and Hour Division (WHD)

U.S. Department of Labor

No. Eligible employees may be paid the youth wage up to the day before their 20th birthday. On and after their
20th birthday, their pay must be raised to no less than the applicable minimum wage.

What impact does a break in service have on counting the first 90


consecutive calendar days after initial employment by an employer?
A break in service does not affect the calculation of the 90-day period of eligibility. In other words, the 90calendar-day period continues to run even if the employee comes off the payroll during the 90 days. For
example, if a student initially works for an employer over a 60-calendar-day period in the summer and then quits
to return to school, the 90-day eligibility period ends for this employee with this employer 30 days after he/she
quits (i.e., 90 consecutive calendar days after initial employment). If this student were to return later to work
again for this same employer, the period of eligibility for the youth wage will have already expired.

May an employee be paid the youth wage by more than one employer?
Yes. A youth under 20 may be paid the youth wage for up to 90 consecutive calendar days after initial
employment with any employer, not just the first employer. While an employee is initially employed only
once by any employer, an employee may be initially employed by more than one employer. The fact that an
eligible youth may be employed simultaneously by more than one employer (unrelated to each other) does not
impact either employers right to pay the youth wage.

Does an employer have to provide any training to an employee paid at the


youth wage?
No. Employers are not required to meet any training requirements in order to pay an eligible employee the
youth wage.

The FLSA also authorizes other subminimum wage rates for certain
categories of workers, such as full-time students, learners, and studentlearners. Can these other special minimum wages combine with the youth
minimum wage rate to allow a minimum wage lower than $4.25 an hour
for young workers?
No. The special lower minimum wages authorized by Section 14 of the FLSA are based on the regular minimum
wage.

Does the youth wage go up when the FLSA minimum wage goes up?
No. An eligible youth may still be paid not less than $4.25 an hour during the 90 calendar days after initial
employment by his/her employer.

May an employer terminate an employee in order to hire someone at the


youth wage?
No. The law contains specific protections for employees that make it illegal for employers to terminate employees
to hire someone at the youth wage. Employers may not take any action to displace any employee (including
partial displacements such as a reduction in hours, wages, or employment benefits) for the purpose of employing
someone at the youth wage. Violation of this anti-displacement provision is considered to be a violation of the
FLSAs Section 1 5(a)(3) anti-discrimination provision.

May an employer hire only employees under 20 years of age at the youth
wage and employ them only for 90 days each?

1/9/2015

Fact Sheet 32- Wage and Hour Division (WHD)

U.S. Department of Labor

No. Such a practice would be illegal. It would be a violation of the anti-displacement provisions if an employer
employed individuals at the youth wage for the 90-day eligibility period and then terminated their employment
in order to hire other employees at the youth wage.

What does displacement mean?


Displacement includes discharge, or any reduction in an employees hours, wages, or employment benefits.

If an employer violates the anti-displacement provision, what are the


employers obligations to employees who are illegally displaced?
Employees who are illegally displaced are entitled to make whole relief, such as reinstatement to their previous
or an equivalent position of employment, payment of lost wages or benefits, etc. For example, if an employee
whose health insurance premium had been paid fully or partially by the employer is terminated in order for
the employer to hire another employee at the youth wage, and the displaced employee is required to pay the
entire health insurance premium after being terminated to avoid a lapse in coverage, the employer could be
required to reinstate the employee, compensate the employee for the lost wages, and reimburse the employee
for the cost of health insurance premiums paid.
--

--

Does a violation of the anti-displacement provision make the employer


ineligible to pay the youth wage to employees who are otherwise eligible?
No. A displacement violation does not cause an employer to lose eligibility to pay the youth wage to eligible
employees.

Does the law provide a termination date for the FLSAs youth wage?
No.

The private inurement rule and private benefit rules exist to ensure that charitable assets are
preserved for the benefit of the public and not diverted to private use. This is a fundamental concept
that distinguishes tax-exempt organizations from for-profits.
The rules originate in the language of Code Section 501(c)(3). Code Section

5o1(c)(3)

contains the specific

requirement that:
[N]o part of the net earnings of [the exempt organization] inures to the benefit of any private shareholder
or individual

In addition, under the regulations, an organization is not treated as organized and operated for exclusively
exempt purposes unless it serves a public rather than a private interest, Based on this provision, tax exempt
status is not available to any organization if its net earnings inure to the benefit of private individuals in whole or
in part.
In practice, the law distinguishes between different degrees of inurement depending upon who is being
benefitted. The two types of inurement are referred to as private inurement and public benefit.
Private Inurement.
The prohibition against private inurement is designed to inhibit what the IRS has called a disproportionate share
of the benefits of the exchange flowing to an insider when an insider enters into a transaction with an exempt
organization.
Under the private inurement rule, none of an exempt organizations income or assets may unduly benefit a person
or company that is closely related to the organization, particularly one who exercises a significant degree of
influence over it. The private inurement rule requires exempt organizations to use a standard of reasonableness
to evaluate transactions with insiders (for example, how similar organizations, acting prudently, transact their
affairs in similar circumstances) to ensure they are not unduly benefiting the insider in transactions between the
insider and the organization.
The most important thing to remember about the private inurement rule is that it lacks any de minimis concept.
Organizations that are found to have violated the private inurement rule face the ultimate penalty of revocation of
tax-exempt status.
Private Benefit.
While the private inurement and private benefit rules are based on the same Code provision and policy of
preserving charitable assets for the public rather than private parties, they have some important differences. In
contrast to the private inurement rule, the private benefit rule is not limited to circumstances where the benefits

accrue to an organizations insiders. That is, this prohibition includes benefits conferred on disinterested

persons and entities, or outsiders.


Also unlike the private inurement rule, a de minimis amount of private benefit is permissible. In contrast to the
absolute prohibition against inurement, the IRS has traditionally treated the flow of some private benefits to
private parties who are outsiders as not jeopardizing the organizations tax exempt status so long as the private
benefit is purely incidental to the organizations tax-exempt purposes. The IRS employs a two-part test for
determining whether a private benefit is incidental to an exempt organizations exempt purpose:
A private benefit is considered incidental only if it is incidental in both a qualitative and a quantitative sense. In
order to be incidental in a qualitative sense, the benefit must be a necessary circumstance of the activity that
benefits to the public at large, i.e., the activity can be accomplished only by benefiting certain private individuals.
To be incidental in a quantitative sense, the private benefit must not be substantial after considering the overall
public benefit conferred by the activity.
Like private inurement, the penalty for violating the private benefit rule is revocation of tax-exempt status, a
penalty which is often fatal for a tax-exempt organization.

Thank you for this article! fts been quite helpful and informative. As a church, are there benevolent
limitations as to what we can assist an individual with.., for example, paying someones signature loan
or car note? Unlike, assisting with food, rent, etc, these are interest bearing and would appear that the
bank (outsider) would be benefiting. Does that fall under the private benefit rule?

money (as a member of a frational organization) for gas expense. then turns around and excepts money
from the organization to go backto the building for its dedicationl. I cant understand the benefit to the
organization as a whole except this person is an officer and the money was voted on the floor of a

Thanks for putting these concepts in plain English! Where would I go for help to answer the following
situation:
o

Attorney A operates a law firm that specializes in helping people with a specific injury.
Attorney A makes charitable contributions to his private foundation, Foundation B.
Foundation B then makes a restricted donation to Charity C that pays for operation of an information
and referral program at a hospital for people with the specific injury.

Charity C refers all people with the specific injury who need an attorney exclusively to Attorney A.

Question: Does this situation result in private inurement?

Ellis, if an employee uses his/her personal credit card to pay for large business (5o1c3 organization)
expenses such as purchases and travel for subsequent reimbursement by the employer- but does so
specifically in order to earn reward miles or points for personal use- could this be deemed private
inurement, or at least an abuse?
A couple of things to note:
There are corporate credit cards that are used by most other employees, but the employee is
permitted to use his/her card instead.
i)

2)

The purchases or travel involved are not personal in nature, merely the method of payment that

indirectly provides a personal benefit.

wouldnt say its inurement but if its ongoing, if the employees know of this benefit but choose not to
have the corporation take advantage of a mileage plan card just to benefit themselves personally, then I
think it could rise to the level of inurement.

My church has decided to give all cash in next Sundays offering to a for-profit startup bagel shop,

Yes, it could be seen as private benefit to a private interest. Abetter plan is to loan the funds to the
business or invest in the business. And of course recommend people patronize the business.

The Consequences of Verbally Abusive Athletic Coaches


By JOHN L. SCHINFJERER PH.D.

Pages: 1
My 10-year-old son was bullied recently. He was told that he was an embarrassment. He was told to shut up. He was yelled at and
scolded in a tone of voice tinged with disgust and disdain. He was told he would be punished for any mistakes he or his peers made in
the future.
Surprisingly, this didnt happen at school. The bully wasnt even a peer of his. The bully was his swim coach, a young lady of perhaps
26. She was desperately trying to motivate her swimmers to swim fast in the big meet the next day. And this was her attempt at
motivation.
In speaking to the lady in charge of the coaches on this swim team, it quickly became apparent that this type of incentive was not
only okay with her, it was actually encouraged. She said that 9- and 10-year-old boys were squirrelly and needed to be taken down a
notch. She was in full support of her coaches yelling at, embarrassing and insulting young children to motivate them to swim faster.
Thats just the way swimming is, she said. Had I not spent 12 years of my childhood swimming competitively, I may have believed
her.

How Do I Know if My Coach Is a Bully?


To determine if a coach is a bully, you must first know what bullying behavior looks and feels like.
Bullying is aggressive behavior that occurs repeatedly over time in a relationship where there is an imbalance of power or strength.
Bullying can take many forms, including physical violence, verbal abuse, social manipulation and attacks on property. Physical violence
is not usually a component of a coaching relationship. If your coach is physically violent with an athlete, call the authorities.
Verbal and emotional abuse is much more common in athletics. It can lead to severe and long-lasting effects on the athletes social and
emotional development. In a world where more is better in terms of training and no pain means no gain, there is a great deal of
machismo in coaches. Most coaches coach the same way that they were coached while playing the sport growing up. This means that
many coaches are still operating as if the training methods used in the Soviet Union in the 1970s are state of the art. ye viii deprive
you of food until you win gold medal. Central to this old school mindset is the idea that threat, intimidation, fear, guilt, shame, and
name-calling are all viable ways to push athletes to excel.
News flash: None of these is a worthwhile motivator for anyone. These are the bricks which line the road paved to burnout, rebellion
and hatred of a once-loved sport.

What Does Verbal and Emotional Abuse Look Like in Athletics?


Usually, this involves a coach telling an athlete or making him or her feel that he or she is worthless, despised, inadequate, or valued
only as a result of his or her athletic performance. Such messages are not conveyed merely with the spoken word. They are conveyed
by tone of voice, body language, facial expression and withdrawal of physical or emotional support.
This is a large part of why bullying in athletics is so hard to quantify: A clear definition of bullying is somewhat elusive. Even if we can
define it, as above, its highly difficult to measure.
Bullying is partly defined by the athletes subjective experience. In other words, if the athlete feels shamed, frightened, or anxious
around the coach due to his or her constant shouting, name-calling or threatening, then the label emotional abuse is warranted.

How Widespread Is Bullying by Athletic Coaches?


There are no hard and fast figures on coaches who bully. In school, we know that 90 percent of 4th through 8th graders report being
victims of some form of bullying at some point in their past. In a 2005 UCLA study, Jaana Juvonen found that nearly 50 percent of 6th
graders reported being the victim of bullying in the preceding five-day period.
In general, boys are more physically aggressive (physical bullying), whereas girls rely more on social exclusion, teasing, and cliques
(verbal or emotional bullying).
In 2006, Stuart Twemlow, MD gave an anonymous survey to 116 teachers at seven elementary schools, and found that 45 percent of
teachers admitted to having bullied a student in the past. In the study, teacher bullying was defined as using power to punish,
manipulate, or disparage a student beyond what would be a reasonable disciplinary procedure.
Psychological research has debunked several myths associated with bullying, including one that states bullies usually are the most
unpopular students in school. A 2000 study by psychologist Philip Rodkin, Ph.D and colleagues involving fourth- through sixth-grade
boys found that highly aggressive boys may be among the most popular and socially connected children in elementary classrooms, as
seen by their peers and teachers.
Another myth is that bullies are anxious and self-doubting individuals who bully to compensate for their low self-esteem. However,
there is no support for such a view. Most bullies have average or better than average self-esteem. Many bullies are relatively popular
and have henchmen who help with their bullying behaviors.

The Consequences of Verbally Abusive Athletic Coaches I Psych Central


And so it is with the swim team that supports the coachs bullying. Bullying does not take place in a vacuum. There has to be an
environment around bullying behavior which allows it and enables it to survive.

We know that bullying is rampant among children as well as adults. We know that 45 percent of teachers admit to having bullied a
student in the past. On average, teachers have more training (1 to 2 years postgraduate) in areas such as child development and
educational and motivational theories than the average youth athletic coach. So it appears safe to assume that teachers are less likely
than the average coach to engage in bullying. Assuming thats the case, it seems safe to assume that roughly 45 to 50 percent of
coaches have bullied an athlete in their past.
According to the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, there are approximately 2.5 million adults in
the
United States each year who volunteer their time to coach. Using our tentative number of 50 percent would mean that there are roughly
1.25 million adult coaches who have bullied a child athlete in the past. And this number does not even take into account coaches who
are paid for their services and who may be more likely to bully due to the pressures and expectations placed upon them.

So What? A Little Yelling Never Hurt Anyone


The old school of thought was along the lines of the nursery school rhyme sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never
hurt me. The old school of thought was that a little yelling at players will toughen them up and prepare them for real life.
Fortunately, we now know better.
A 2003 study by Dr. Stephen Joseph at University of Warwick found that verbal abuse can have more impact upon victims self-worth
than physical attacks, such as punching..stealing or the destruction of belongings. Verbal attacks such as name-calling and humiliation
can negatively affect self-worth to a dramatic degree. Rather than helping them to toughen up, 33 percent of verbally abused children
suffer from significant levels of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This is the same disorder that haunts many war veterans and
victims of violent assault.
A 2005 UCLA study demonstrated that there is no such thing as harmless name-calling. The study, by Jaana Juvonen, Ph.D. found that
those 6th graders who had been victimized felt humiliated, anxious, angry and disliked school more. Whats more, the students who
merely observed another student being bullied reported more anxiety and disliked school to a greater degree than those who did not
witness any bullying.
The major lesson here is that the more a child is bullied, or observes bullying, in a particular environment, the more they dislike being
in that environment. So any bullying done by coaches will virtually guarantee a victims hasty exit from the sport.
A 2007 Penn State study found that the trauma endured by bullied children results in physical changes. The study, performed by JoLynn
Carney, found that levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, were elevated in the saliva both of children who had been bullied recently
and
in those children who were anticipating being bullied in the near future. Ironically, when cortisol levels spike, our ability to think
clearly, learn or remember goes right out the window. So those coaches who rely on fear and intimidation ensure their athletes wont
recall any of what they said while they are ranting and raving.
Repeated exposure to such stressful events has been linked to chronic fatigue syndrome, greater chance of injury, chronic pelvic pain,
and PTSD.
Anxiety appears to be the most dangerous aspect of bullying for the victim. The anxiety stays with the victim and fuels deep internal
beliefs such as the world is a dangerous place in which to live and other people cannot be trusted. As demonstrated in Martin
Seligmans work, such core beliefs lay at the heart of depression. Thus, bullying is directly linked to trauma and anxiety and indirectly
linked to depression and higher cortisol levels.

What Can I Do about Bullying Coaches?


If you are a parent, if possible, make the coach aware of his or her behavior. Ensure your and your childrens safety first. Its difficult
to predict when youll be met with an uncooperative, and potentially hostile, attitude. However, its important that you be courageous
and stand up to the bullying behavior. To the extent that you sit by, complain in the background, but do nothing to prevent bullying
behaviors, you allow it to continue.
If, after bringing it to the coachs attention, you dont see a change in the coachs behavior, report his or her bullying behaviors to any
supervisor or league authorities. Be as specific as possible to help others identify and change the behaviors in question.
In extreme cases, you may find the people in charge of the organization support bullying coaches. In that case, you must weigh the
financial, physical and psychological costs of moving your child to a different team or coach. Staying with the same coach is likely to
lead to increased anxiety and decreased athletic performance at a minimum. Moving to a different coach may mean increased financial
expenses, driving time and leaving behind the friendship of other parents and children.
If you are a coach, be aware of your tone of voice, body language, and other nonverbal messages. The majority of communication is
nonverbal. Tone of voice provides the greatest insight into how a coach is feeling when he or she speaks to an athlete. Tone of voice
alone can convey disgust, delight, disappointment, anger, contentment and much more. Its not as much what you say as how you say
it.
Keep in mind that most of the athletes you coach are not going to become rich and famous. The best you can do is encourage your
athletes love of the game. So keep it fun. Keep it low key. Turn down the volume on your competitiveness. Remind yourself that its
just a game. Its not a matter of life or death. Dont get overly attached to winning. Focus on helping your athletes perform at their
peak level.
If you are an athlete, realize that your physical and psychological health is of the greatest importance. It is the primary reason that you
are involved in athletics. So, listen to the feeling in your gut. If you feel angry, ashamed, guilty, anxious or sad every time you come
near your coach, you may want to look for a new coach. You have a right to be treated with respect and dignity. Exercise that right.
Depending on your coachs volatility, and how strong a bond you have with him or her, you may want to try talking with your coach
first to see if he or she is able to change his or her behavior. If your coach is explosive, talk to your parents first and ask for their
support. Ask them to intervene on your behalf. Tell them how you feel. If you go to your parents and tell them you feel anxious,
scared, angry or ashamed every time you approach your coach, hopefully, they will recognize the need for a face-to-face with the
coach.

The Consequences of Verbally Abusive Athletic Coaches Psych Central

As far as my family goes, were moving to a different swim team. My wife and I spoke to the people in charge of the current swim
team and found that their driving value was to win which, in their minds, justifies the use of old school negative motivators such as
group punishment for individual mistakes. Thats their choice. Its their teem. My choice is to take my children and swim somewhere
else
somewhere where they are treated with respect and dignity.

issue became to much for me to handle and therefore passed it on to you. Also,
please know I do not have any opinion (positive or negative) on Rob Bloom as I
have only dealt with him very briefly when I sent my son to his camp for a few
days over the past few summers. That being said, I do not like the fact that he
is not willing to share the chairs and feel he is definitely not being fair in
this circumstance.
Hopefully there is no more problems.

Mr. Sam Sima


Deputy Labor Commissioner
Labor Commissioners Office
6150 Van Nuys Blvd. Suite 100
Van Nuys, CA 91401
Dear Mr. Sima,
Please accept this request for the investigation of Child Labor Law violations in
California by Westlake Sports Camp, operated as an illegal non-profit 501c3 by Mr.
Rob Bloom, Westlake Village California.

Thank You: As concerned parents, and not child labor law experts, we have
carefully reviewed those California child labor law components that jump out as
germane to our concerns about labor law violations. On behalf of the 180 or so 1416 year old uncompensated student-athletes who comprise over 95% of the work
force, doing work designed for adults we believe there is clear, intentional, and
repeated incidents of child labor violations in at least 8 material ways. We want
these practices to stop immediately, and to have Bloom properly compensate past
employees, including some multi-year staff over the past 5 years whose rights to full
and fair compensation have been violated.

Dont Get Sidetracked: From the outset of this complaint its easy to be
sidetracked into believing this is a frivolous complaint by greedy or gadfly parents
who dont appreciate that many youth employment opportunities are no more
than neophyte volunteer community service opportunities. As you will see, thats
not the case here. These carefully selected, top student-athletes received no training
but essentially ran the youth camp as fully-trained counselors who designed the
activities, supervised participation, provided discipline, and wrote personalized
camper skill assessment evaluations in the evening hours before the last day of each
camp week. They performed as professionals, but received no legitimate
compensation. From our perspective, camp counselor talents werent just used
they were abused.
--

Background: Six years ago Rob Bloom started Westlake Sports Camp, and
subsequently Game On Westlake, on the grounds of Westlake High School as part of
an arrangement to have him become a walk-on Head Boys Basketball coach and
supplement his own income by legitimately operating this camp on the grounds of
Westlake High School between June and August of each summer. Along with his
child hood friend and head football coach, Jim Benkert, who served as the facilitator
and broker of these on-campus business endeavors, they tried [unsuccessfully] to f
legitimize Blooms involvement in sports and non-profit business activities at the

high school. Only later did parents find out how much Benkert is financially and
organizationally involved in this camp operation, while serving as a full-time FTE at
the school. We believe Mr. Benkert is fully complicit in these child labor issues. Its
likely Bloom was not carefully vetted to assume this responsibility since his
previous sports camp, Olympic Sports went bankrupt in North Hollywood, as a
result of embezzlement and pay litigation. Our research shows that Bloom
continues to violate both DOL codes and IRS laws related to non-profit status,
licenses, legitimate pay, and other labor law concerns. Although concerned parents
have brought this matter to school and district administration for review, these
representatives have refused to take action, believing that even though they allow
Bloom to manipulate impressionable and vulnerable student athletes into working
for him in his camps, it is not their responsibility to apply labor or tax laws to the
execution of any camp on their campus.

Core Issue: Bloom has abused youth staff each summer most of which come to
him as easily influenced new recruits to his high school basketball program, and a
few from other sports programs. Once under his command for nearly 700 hours
each season, the new program recruits are easily manipulated by Bloom: he gives
them no legitimate work agreement; the work permit is invalid and not co
authorized by the school; they receive no training because they are to be
volunteers, which quickly changes to counselors once they agree to work. The
offer of compensation is a non-descript promise of a sort-of stipend of
approximately $3/hour, along with a promised letter of recommendation. While
employment hours are rigorously kept, no legitimate pay or recommendation is
provided. In November, student employees and their parents find out for the first
time at a required team participation meeting the amount of offset compensation
they were to have received that is deducted from the $400 fees required for
participation on the team. This pay stub is essential a 1/8th sheet of paper, with a
number written on it that they are handed at the meeting and required to turn over
to the team parent before they leave the meeting. No more mention of pay, benefits,
nor even uses of discretionary funds returned to the coach for his own uses. This
practice sort of parallels the old Company Store, where laborers worked only to
offset expenses, while the company enjoyed the benefits of their labor.

Specific Child Labor Violations: Here is a summary of known DOL violations


by Rob Bloom and Jim Benkert, owner and co-administrator of Westlake Sports
Camp. Forgive our imprecision where it occurs. We have also identified violations
beyond DOL regulations that these camp operators have knowingly done, in spite of
public complaint, since its inception 6 years ago.
1. Overuse of Volunteers: approximately 95% of his entire summer camp
employees are under age Volunteers, who function as fully trained staff to
completely run his program.

2. False Work Permit: has volunteers sign a mis-titled work permit for Counselors
that interchangeably refers to them as Thtaff, employees, and counselors, which
makes no clear designation of job responsibilities or scope of work. No provision is
made to have the school co-sign the work permit.
3. False Employment Offer: in the promotional advertisement supplied to students
in the District, these Directors refer to the employment offer as that of employee,
not volunteer, but does not reward them as employees.
4. Illegal Non-Compensation: For the Camp, keeps track of onsite work hours, but
does not actually compensate these workers at all for 6 hours of daily employment
plus 10 hours of after hours camper-written performance evaluation work that they
are required to do at home each week. Many of the youth counselors also work in
Blooms Game On Westlake where they are compensated at $10/hr to do precisely
the same activities they do at the Sports Camp for no legitimate pay.
5. Non-Disbursement of Wages: no actual compensation is given to these falsevolunteer employees even though they do 95% of the work with paying campers, for
which Bloom alone is compensated nearly $100,000 for only 8 weeks non-profit day
camp activity. However, 3 months after camp ends, Bloom gives each of these
employees a piece of paper showing how many hours they worked at $3.00 per
hour, which he in turn retains to be used as he chooses as Head Coach, including
meals, entertainment and other travel expenses he charges, with no accountability
to the child laborers. At that time in November for the first time, he acknowledges
to his child staff and their parents that he is retaining the wages they earned but will
not be distributing to them. He also then indicates to them that the promised
college letter of recommendation for their hard work and community service is
actually a single sentence acknowledgement of hours worked in the summer camp,
with no indication of responsibilities undertaken nor level of performance and
contribution they achieved.
6. No Lunch Break: provides no designated lunch break or compensation for lunch
break for child laborers who work 6 or more hours per day, and are given no
opportunity to deny this requirement to work without lunch.
7. Misuse of Volunteers: there are 3 critical situations where Bloom misuses
volunteers: a) in camp, for most of the day, he provides no on-site adult supervision
for the volunteers who oversee camper participation while also violating statemandated camper/counselor ratios; b) Bloom and Benkert have illegally contracted
with Dicks Sporting Goods to produce television commercials using WHS athletes,
giving them no compensation but requiring that they miss entire school days to film
these commercials, for which the coachs receive unreported income and residuals.
8. Uses Volunteers as Professional Staff: provides no competency training or
credentialing process for vetting volunteer skills, thereby presuming they are to
function as fully trained adult employees. They perform responsibilities required of

fully trained adult employees, and are called employees or counselors but are
rewarded as volunteers or counselors-in-training who receive no paychecks or
workers compensation benefits as required bylaw.
9. Volunteers take on Work Responsibilities Adults Should Be Doing: the volunteers
are presumed to be fully-functional staff since they receive no training, and are
taking work that adults should be doing according to DOL codes. Bloom substitutes
child volunteers for 95% of the adult staff he should be retaining to do this level of
work responsibility once again violating state-mandated camper/counselor ratios.
10 Withholding wages for 2nd Year of Employment: summer volunteers who work
more than one summer continue to be compensated at illegal sub minimum rate of
$3/hr rather than required wages. It is our understanding that DOL regulations
require second year employees or even volunteers to be compensated at least at
minimum wage and workers compensation benefits. All former 2nd year employees
are entitled to retrospective pay not awarded them.
11 Failure to Pay Overtime Wages: volunteer staff are required to do camper
performance evaluations [e.g. Basketball skill performance improvement
assessments] on Wednesday and Thursday evenings before the end of the weekly
camp, totaling an additional 10 hours/week for no additional overtime
compensation. All of this overtime work should be compensated at 1.5 overtime
rate.
12. Failure to pay treble damages for denying wages to former and current staff.
Several parents have complained to Bloom about their 2nd year employee not
receiving any pay for their work, but Bloom denied their requests for compensation
according to California State Labor Laws this failure to properly compensate
should justify treble damages for non-payment.

13. Failure to Reward and Recognize Volunteets as promised: Bloom fails to


perform on giving a letter of recommendation students can use as part of the college
admission application

Known Department of Health and American Camp Association


Code Violations:
1. Denial of Wages: Denying minimum wage of $8/hr for all hours worked
2. Denial of Overtime Wages: Failure to pay overtime wages for 10 hours of evening
work required each week to complete camper skill performance evaluations

Known IRS Violations:

1. Illegal Excessive Compensation to Director when non-profits are required to


show no private gain: While paying volunteers no legitimate wages, when they do
95% of all the work at camp for which revenue is produced, Bloom compensates
himself over 3x what is the going rate for day camp directorship in the Conejo Valley
which is illegal inurement for 501C3 non-profit entities
-

2. Denial of Wages: Fails to pay staff at least minimum wages, and workers
compensation as required by IRS payroll codes

Known Conejo Valley United School District Policy Violations:


1. Requires all basketball players to attend promotional session for his summer
camp during school hours, violating District and CIF league codes
2. Requires employees at Westlake High School to distribute and collect
employment application information to students for his private business

Thank you for commencing investigation of this matter. We can provide you with
names of specific teenagers whose rights to fair compensation have been violated by
Bloom and Benkert. We look forward to moving ahead with this action. Westlake
Sports Camp is operating again this summer running from June 6 August 8, 2014 at
Westlake High School located at 100 N. Lakeview Canyon Rd., Westlake Village, CA
91362.

RE: Referral number 20717
Dear Representatives,
The complaint form filed yesterday regarding business operations by Robert Bloom,
on the campus of Westlake High School, Westlake Village, California, is accompanied
by this Summary Letter, as well as a set of documents being mailed to you today by
return receipt mail. Thank you in advance for receiving, reading, and investigating
this matter that has continued for 6 years, and involves nearly 200 student-athletes
directly under the control of this walk-on high school basketball coach.
Summary of Complaint:
For 6 years Robert Bloom has illegally operated two purported non-profit
businesses in Westlake Village, at Westlake High School, including Westlake Sports
Camp, and Game On Westlake. It is estimated combined gross revenues for these
two programs exceed $600,000 annually. Bloom illegally employs 25-30 studentathletes under his control as head basketball coach at the high school, and pays
them no legitimate wage.
His 2013 IRS non-profit tax form 990 for his Westlake Sports Camp was very
recently filed and appears to show the effects of recent public inquiries by the
Concerned Parent Group at Westlake High School into his school-based business
operations, including:
1 changing his stated purpose as a 501c3 non-profit, not just to provide sports
programs for kids ages 5-13, but now to also include his second business activities,
Game On Westlake, which include adult activities, beyond sports programs. This
change would necessarily indicate inurement for intentionally altering his stated
purpose as a 501c3 without first seeking IRS approval to make this change in
purpose and revenue to Westlake Sports Camp.
2 Hes now saying the two programs are actually one, and that Game On is DBA
Westlake Sports Camp. When Cynthia Truhan contacted the District facility rental
coordinator last Spring and summer, as well as the Thousand Oaks Business
Licensing Dept, to check into Game Ons tax status, it became apparent that Bloom
has been sending each year all receipts for Game ON, perhaps $300,000 in program
registration check signups, directly to his own home and not reporting it to local,
state or federal taxing authorities since Game ON is not registered as a 501c3, and
has no business license.

3 Email correspondence between herself, the school District facility use coordinator
and the City Licensing Dept which shows the City contacted Bloom early last
summer about his not having a license to operate Game On, nor any listing of it as a
non-profit, and that Bloom responded by coming into the Dept and listing Game On
as DI3A of Westlake Sports Camp.
4 But on his 990 tax form for 2013, which should now also include revenue and
expenses for Game On [which has nearly 30 profit centers] as well as Westlake
Sports Camp, it appears there is a drop in combined reported gross revenue by
nearly 1/3 from 2012, and a related reduction in his wages from $81K in 2012 to
$62K for 2013. The California Franchise Tax Board can determine if there is actually
a drop in program revenues for each, or if Bloom didnt report revenues which,
based on previous year operations, would likely exceed $600,000 in combined
program revenues.
5 In a year in which Bloom reports significant drop in his own 2-business revenues,
hes now informed the 50 basketball families on his high school team that they do
not have to pay for the first time the nearly $500 in participation fees for the WHS
basketball team, or approximately $25,000 in expenses, that have been required in
each previous year he coached at WHS. He has provided no indication how those
now optional expenses will be covered.
6 It would appear Bloom has repeatedly not fully disclosed S important numbers: a)
gross revenue for Game On which he has operated since arriving at WHS 6 years
ago; b) personal income from Game On Westlake, which has nearly 30 profit centers
and all registrations are sent directly to his home; c) his repeated illegal inclusion of
Game On expenses [eg $22,000 for uniforms], in his 990 form for Westlake Sports
Camp, when he indicates it became a part of Westlake Sports Camp only in 2013;
and d) repayment of nearly $50,000 in loans to himself each year which also violates
inurement laws governing no private gain for non-profit businesses; and e) taxes
due to the City of Thousand Oaks, the State Franchise Tax Board, and the IRS for a
unregistered business he called Game On Westlake.
Thank you for investigating these matters.
Sincerely,

James Clark, PhD

Internal Revenue Service


3949-A RE: Westlake Sports Camp
Submitted July 8, 2014
Please accept this complaint about Westlake Sports Camp [WSC], now listed as a
501C3 non-profit entity, working out ofWestlake Village California. This program is
owned outright and operated 8 weeks a year by Rob Bloom. He does have a Board
of Directors consisting of himself and his father, and has several associates who
received indeterminate payments from wages and what appear to be undisclosed
retained earnings as vaguely reported on his 990 tax form for the years 2009-2013.
This complaint identifies 6 specific tax violations for which WSC needs to be
investigated by the Internal Revenue Service:
Inurement in each year of existence, Rob Bloom has paid himself two to three
times more wages than reasonable payment givento similar sized and scope
summer only day camp programs in a 20-mile radius. The closest program, First
Neighborhood Camp, pays its long-time director approximately 1/3 of what Bloom
compensates himself during the same time period. The FNDC Director, Steve Scifres
has substantially more academic credential, training and management experience in
day camp operation, and more years on the job. Therefore Rob Bloom is operating
an illegal non-profit organization since the preponderance of distributed revenue
for wages goes to him alone.

Misrepresentation of Employment Bloom purports to be a full-time, year- round


employee of Westlake Sports Camp, while simultaneously indicating he is also
employed full-time as Head Coach of Westlake High School Basketball, and also fulltime year around Director of GameOn Westlake, another Camp he claims to be a
501C3 for which there is no non-profit tax status nor business license registered in
this local municipality. As Director of Westlake Sports Camp he owns no facilities,
pays no mortgages on Camp facilities, nor has any other identifiable responsibilities
or roles requiring his identification as fully-employed by Westlake Sports Camp. In
essence he makes nearly $90,000 for eight weeks of work, or nearly $300/hour for
actual hours at the camp.

Failure to pay federal and state taxes WSC clearly violates the provision of no
private gain as required by IRS tax codes to qualify as a 501C3 non-profit entity, An
examination of each of Blooms submitted 990 forms shows inurement, and
therefore a failure to pay federal and state taxes. Bloom should be required to pay
all of these taxes plus penalties.

Withholding of earned wages to 95% of the employees since its inception WSC
uses a preponderance of under age, 16 year old employees that Bloom
simultaneously describes in writing as volunteers, employees, and counselors.
These under age staff members receive rio more than 1 hour of training in order to
be fully responsible for supervising and directing day-long activities all summer for
-

camp participants (all minor age children). Because they functio


n as fully-trained
employees in their jobs, they are de facto, adult laborers. While Bloom
does keep
track of their hours worked, he withholds their illegally low $3/hr.
wages as an
offset for program participation fees that he alone spends at his own discret
ion and
without any accountability. These 180 or so past employees of this
camp should
rightfully be entitled to wages and benefits at or above minimum wage.
Many of
these youth staff work 2 seasons in order to win the coachs affection, only
to have
him deny all wages in their second year of employment as well as their first.
They
should be entitled to treble damages for having wages withheld.
Not providing employees with W-2 statements and withholding -Rob Bloom
has not provided these fully-functioning child laborers with W-2 statements,
including workers compensation benefits.
Overuse of child labor to do adult jobs since nearly all of the work with
camp
participants is provided and supervised by unpaid youth staff, Bloom also violate
s
tax and labor requirements to not use a preponderance of child labor to do work
that would otherwise be done by adult staff.
-

Misrepresentation of 501c3 In the process of seeking public donations for


Westlake Sports Camp, Bloom and his partners are misrepresenting to the IRS
approved tax status of their organization, now claiming it is a 509a2, which it is not,
according to their submitted tax records as a S01c3. It would appear hes doing
this
not only to deceive the IRS, but also prospective donators to his organization. See
http://non-orifit-organizations.findthebest.com/ 1/10025 80/Westlake-SportsCamp

Misrepresentation of corporate structure Bloom has recently requested of


Emma Mosbergen, Thousand Oaks City Business Licensing Department associate,
that Westlake Sports Camp now include [Blooms other area business] Game On
Westlake, as a DBA under Westlake Sports Camp, in spite of the fact that since its
inception 5 years ago it has had no business license nor enjoyed any public
recognition as a 501c3 as it purports on its web site, www.GameOnWestlake.com.

Falsification of expenses listed on each years IRS Form 990 Bloom falsifies at
least these expenses each year in his 990 forms: a) on 990 part 4, line 26 he states
each year a recurring loan from his father; b) line 24 b of expenses he lists $21,677
for uniforms but provides no uniforms to anyone as part of the program; c) line 7
other salaries and wages questionable that he provides W-2 forms for these
employees when giving no income to student counselors described as volunteers
but functioning as full-time adult laborers.

Attach ment RE Culpability of Others


3949-A for GameOn Westlake
In submitting an information referral about improprieties being done at GameOn
Westlake, it is also pertinent to mention other individuals who are directly involved
financially, or also complicit as institutional enablers in the operation of this
program, and therefore deserving of investigation as part of this process. They
include the following.
Financially Involved:
Jim Benkert, Football Coach at Westlake High School who profits directly and
recruits youth employees for the program who are not compensated for their work
John Elliott, Partner and co-coach at Westlake High School Basketball
Dr. Don Nikchevich, Assistant Varsity Basketball Coach atWestlake High School and
Booster Club treasurer who massages income, and undisclosed discretionary
spending by Bloom through Westlake Basketball, Westlake Sports Camp, and
GameOn Westlake, to allow Bloom to hide income and expenses, including expense
associated with illegal scholarships for out-of-area high school recruits who replace
local athlete candidates for the program.
Tamara Miller, Board Member and Operations Director for this program
Dicks Sporting Goods, Inc This business illegally shares advertising and
unreported income to Boom and Benkert and perhaps Lipari for illegally using
youth volunteers who are illegally taken out of school to participate in making of
commercials and other advertising schemes to directly benefit Bloom and Benkert
without reporting the income

Institutional Enablers:
Bennett Wutkee, recent past Athletic Director who allowed illegal access to
prospective student employees, during school hours
Ron Lipari, recent past Principal at WHS who signed off on improper facility use
permits submitted by Bloom, which cost the District perhaps $100,000 each
operating year, and allowed Bloom to miscalculate income and expenses
Superintendent Jeff Baarstad who knowingly allowed this camp to illegally operate
since 2009 at WHS, and ignored facility use rental violations

Exhibit C

DECLARATION OF SULLY CLARK


2

I, Sully Clark, declare as follows:

1.

I have personal knowledge of the facts set forth in this declaration and, if called as a

witness, could and would testify competently to such facts under oath. I am DEFENDANT JAMES

CLARKS (Clark and/or Defendant) son.

2.

I am a former student of Westlake High School. I am a former member of the Westlake

High School Mens Basketball Team, which was coached by PLAINTIFF ROBERT BLOOM

(Bloom and/or Plaintiff) during my years on the team. I understand that Coach Bloom has now

sued my father for complaining to school and school district officials about his behavior toward me and

10
11

other Westlake High School students.


3.

While was on the Westlake High School Mens Basketball Team, I was essentially

12

required to work for free for Plaintiff Blooms non-profit Westlake Sports Camp. I specifically

13

informed my father that Plaintiff Bloom held a meeting at Westlake High School in May 2011 during

14

seventh period, which all members of the Westlake High School basketball team were required to attend.

15

I subsequently informed my father that this meeting occurred every year around the same time of the

16

year in May. At this meeting, Plaintiff Bloom explained to the members of the team that he was involved

17

with WSC and that he wanted the members of the basketball team to work over the summer as

18

volunteers for the summer camp. Plaintiff Bloom further implied that those members who failed to

19

work at WSC as volunteers would not be permitted to play for the Westlake High School basketball

20

team the following year, i.e. that they would not make the team and/or be benched and be denied playing

21

time during games. I worked for the camp because I wanted to please Plaintiff Bloom and play basketball

22

and I did not want to be benched during games.

23

4.

I worked for Westlake Sports Camp for approximately eight (8) weeks during the sunimer

24

of 2012 and the part of the summer of 2011, when I was 15 and 16 years old. I was issued the same

25

Employee Handbook by Westlake Sports Camp for each year, which contained forms I was required

26

to sign and submit back to Westlake Sports Camp. I was instructed by Plaintiff Bloom to submit these

true and correct copy of my 2011 Employee Handbook is attached hereto as Exhibit No. 1.

5.

During my two years working for Westlake Sports Camp, I personally observed that the

camp relied almost entirely on the labor of minor employees between the ages of 14 and 16, who are

characterized in the Westlake Sports Camp literature issued by the camp via Plaintiff Bloom alternately

as volunteers, employees, and counselors. I worked approximately thirty (30) hours per week

for Westlake Sports Camp during the summers of 2012 and part of 2011 as one of these volunteers in

exchange for which I was paid $0. I reported all of this to my father and discussed it at length with him

at the time and afterwards.

10

6.

I received less than one (1) hour of training for my job. My fellow underage volunteers

11

and I (who numbered approximately 30 in total for each year) were fully responsible for supervising and

12

director the day-long activities of Westlake Sports Camps participants (typically children under the age

13

of 12). We were required to keep track of or hours by hand-writing in our time spent on time-cards issued

14

by Plaintiff Bloom. I reported this to my father and discussed it at length with him at the time and

15

afterwards.

16

7.

I never was issued any W-2 form, nor were any issued to my fellow vo1unteers to the

17

best of my knowledge. I reported this to my father and discussed it at length with him at the time and

18

afterwards.

19

8.

I was paid nothing ($0) in exchange for my work for Westlake Sports Camp, as did the

20

other volunteers working full-time to operate and manage the camp under Plaintiff Bloom. Per

21

Plaintiff Bloom, we worked at the camp to ensure a spot on the basketball team the following year and

22

game-time during the same

23

any letter of recommendation, nor did he for other teammates who worked at the camp (from what they

24

told me when we discussed this). I reported this to my father and discussed it at length with him at the

25

time and afterwards.

a future college letter of recommendation. Plaintiff Bloom never gave me

DEFENDANTS EVIDENCE IN SUPPORT OF HIS SPECIAL MOTION TO STRIKE PLAINTIFFS COMPLAINT

9.

I did not receive regular meal or rest breaks while working at Westlake Sports Camp, nor

did I observe my fellow volunteers receive them, either. I was never paid any overtime wages, either,

even though I believe I may have worked certain overtime hours on occasion. To the best of my

knowledge, my fellow teammates and Westlake Sports Camp volunteers likewise received no

overtime pay, either. I reported this to my father and discussed it at length with him at the time and

afterwards.

10.

I never received any pay stubs or earning statements from Westlake Sports Camp that

accurately reflected my hours spent working and my wages earned. Although I was instructed to keep

track of my hours work on forms provided by Plaintiff Bloom, Plaintiff Bloom refused to give me copies

10

of the same, claiming that he was required to keep them himself. I reported this to my father and

11

discussed it at length with him at the time and afterwards.

12

11.

To the best of my knowledge, Westlake Sports Camp did not purchase any kind of

13

workers compensation insurance policy to cover workplace injuries suffered by its workers. I reported

14

this to my father and discussed it at length with him at the time and afterwards.

15

12.

Prior to working for Westlake Sports Camp, I worked for another area sports camp called

16

Game On Westlake! When I worked for Westlake Sports Camp (doing largely the exactly same kind of

17

work), I was paid ten dollars ($10) per hour. From my discussions with fellow employees, I understand

18

that they received the same or similar pay. I reported this to my father and discussed it at length with

19

him at the time and afterwards.

20

13.

In December 2011, Plaintiff Bloom required me and other members of the Westlake High

21

School mens basketball team to miss class so as to participate in and star in a commercial for a local

22

Dicks Sporting Goods. Plaintiff Bloom notified all varsity players of the team that we were to miss class

23

and instead participate in the filming of this commercial on campus. When I informed Plaintiff Bloom

24

that I was unable to participate because I had an important H Chemistry exam at that time, Plaintiff

25

Bloom got in my face and screamed at me that I was required to participate. To my knowledge, none of

26
22
DEFENDANTS EVIDENCE IN SUPPORT OF HIS SPECIAL MOTION TO STRIKE PLAINTIFFS COMPLAINT

my teammates compensated for the commercial. I reported this to my father and discussed it at length

with him at the time and afterwards.

14.

During my years on the Westlake High School basketball team, I was bullied, screamed

at, and berated by Plaintiff Bloom on numerous occasions. I also observed such behavior from Bloom

toward other members of the WHS basketball team. Plaintiff Bloom in particular spent forty-five (45)

minutes explaining to me in detail during my exit interview in March 2013 that I was worthless and

uncoachable. Again, I reported this to my father and discussed it at length with him at the time and

afterwards.

15.

For every year I was part of the WHS mens basketball team, I was required to pay a

10

player participation fee totaling $600 to an entity called Westlake High School Basketball Team

11

Boosters, which entity was headed by Plaintiff Bloom.

Reporting Child Abuse and Sexual Exploitation:


Child abuse is a subject that we hear and read about frequently. It is a term that
encompasses mental, physical, and sexual victimization of children. Most camp
counselors are not trained to make judgments about whether a child has been a victim of
any kind of abuse. It is important to know that there are government agencies that are
required to examine reports of suspected abuse and to use their expertise in handling the
cases.
If you suspect that a camper is a victim of abuse, you should report this to the Camp
Director. The laws of the state require us to report suspected child abuse to an
appropriate child protective agency.
Some forms of abuse may not leave obvious physical evidence. There are, however,
behavioral signs that may indicate victimization. This is especially true of children who
have been sexually molested. You should be alert to these signs of sexual abuse:

Changes in behavior, extreme mood swings, withdrawal, fearfulness, and


excessive crying.
Acting out inappropriate sexual activity or showing an unusual interest in
sexual matters.
A sudden acting out of feelings or aggressive or rebellious behavior.
Regression to infantile behavior
Fear of being alone with certain people.
Pain, itching, bleeding, fluid, or rawness in the private areas.

You should note that some of these behaviors may have other explanations. A camper
who comes to camp is entering a strange environment and may experience anxieties that
can lead to behavior similar to signs of sexual molestation. However, do not simply
discount the behavior. Immediately bring it to the attention of the Camp Director. You
are in a position to be a comfort and aid to the campers placed in your care. Even if the
childs behavior is a result of something other than abuse, his or her camp experience will
be more enjoyable if the cause of distress is addressed.

What to do:
At some point, your campers may tell you that someone has molested them. This
may have occurred at home or at camp. If this happens, we want you to be prepared to
help the child. Follow the guidelines below if a child indicates that he/she may have been
the victim of abuse or exploitation:

Remain cahn. Try not to panic or overreact to the information


disclosed by the child.

Get the facts. Try not to criticize the child or claim that the child
misunderstood what happened.
Respect the childs privacy. Take the child to a place where you
cannot be overheard by the other campers. It is important that you
discuss the childs situation only with the Camp Director or with
the child protective services agency. It should not become the
topic of conversation among staff. Camp is a difficult place to
keep information coufidential. Your campers should not have to
pay the price for your indiscretion.
Encourage the camper to tell the Camp Director. Offer to be there
with them. Make sure that the child feels that he/she is not to
blame for what has happened. Tell the child that no one should ask
him or her to keep a special secret and that it is okay to talk with
appropriate adults about what happened.

Precautions Against Accusations of Sexual Abuse:


As a camp counselor with the responsibility of caring for children, you
may be

placed in sensitive situations, making you vulnerable to charges of child molest


ation. If
you take the following precautions, you need not be afraid of groundless
accusations:
Have other staff members present when supervising children. A
staff member should not be alone with a camper in an area or
location where they cannot be observed by other staff.

Procedure for Reporting Suspected Abuse or Exploitation:


Step I

Step 2

Step 3

When there is a report of suspicion of child abuse, the staff to


whom it has been reported will immediately inform the Camp
Director. The Camp Director will immediately attempt to confirm
the facts and condition of the camper. Every staff member has
an absolute duty to report suspicion. The child protective
agency will determine the accuracy of the report.
All Westlake Sports Camp staff are to be sensitive to the need for
confidentiality in the handling of information in this area and
understand that all matters pertaining to verified or suspected
abuse be discussed only with the Camp Director.

In the event that the verified reported incident or suspicion


involves an employee of Westlake Sports Camp, the Camp
Director will, without exception, suspend the person from all
activities.

I have personal knowledge of the facts set forth in this declaration and, if called as a

witness, could and would testify competently to such facts under oath.
2.

I am a member of the Concerned Parents Group of Westlake High School, along with

my friend DEFENDANTJAMES CLARK (Clark and/or Defendant). Although I am technically

not a parent of Westlake High School students, two of my nephews formerly attended the school, one of

them along with Clarks son Sully.

I have discussed and researched at length the various improprieties and apparent illegal

10

activities of PLAINTIFF ROBERT BLOOM (Bloom and/or Plaintiff) with Defendant Clark for

11

approximately four (4) years. Together with Clark and other concerned relatives of Westlake High

12

School students, I have complained repeatedly to various school and school district officials regarding

13

Plaintiff Blooms business arrangements with Westlake Sports Camp, his misuse of school facilities, his

14

apparent profiting at students expense, and his abusive and bullying behavior toward members of the

15

Westlake High School Boys Basketball Team, the latter of which I and other parents in our Group have

16
