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.

Remix: Ballestero, Anderson, Defense Lead Canyon j Orange Countys High School Sports Blog
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.

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

Canyons first four baskets of the third quarterby Devonte Parker, Anthony Ballestero, Nick
Anderson and Daniel Hernandezwere three-point shots. The last gave the Comanches a 4038 lead.
Westlake answered with a 7-0 run to go up 45-40 with 2:22 left in the third quarter, but Canyon

Ballestero had six points in the run and through three quarters, Canyon holds a 48-45 lead.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
We have a lot of weapons inside.

OVERVIEW
The Highlanders are the Marmontes mystery team.
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 Warriors dont plan on giving up the league crown.
Westlake is arguably the deepest team in the area despite the departure of Larry Bush to OHS.
Junior Isaiah Brooks continues maturing at point guard. Senior wing Jeremiah Gray has the potential to lead
the team in scoring, according to Westlake head coach Rob Bloom.
Jeremiah is our best athlete, Bloom said. We came into the summer telling him, Youll come off the bench.
Then Larry left and he became the guy. He has taken off.
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

OVERVIEW
The Lancers are the Marmonte Leagues best kept secret.. for now.
.
Thousand Oaks returns two players from last years squad, but the newcomers are enticing prospects.
We have a clean sweep of a team for the first time since Ive been here, TOHS head coach Richard Endres
said. Usually we have a lot of kids returning. We may struggle for the first month with so many new faces.
Its fun to start fresh. Theres plenty of talent on the roster.
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
year. Brothers Matt and Josh Hauser solidify a revamped backcourt.
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
Calabasas and Westlake. We just need some time to figure things out.

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.

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 3AA 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.

OVERVIEW
The Musketeers have no problem taking things slow.
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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

According to these same forms, Plaintiff Bloom has been paid up to $75,000 per
12
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

$30,000/year for performing comparable work. I also know how much I earned
17
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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

every year around the same time of the year in May, in spite of being in direct

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

(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
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

After several parents complained about students not receiving wages for their
25
work for Westlake Sports Camp in 2012, Plaintiff Bloom informed the parents,

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

employees in the schools front office were employed by Westlake Sports Camp
under the direction of Plaintiff Bloom to prepare and distribute paperwork for

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

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
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

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

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

Exhibit 4
1/9/2015
()
Act
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.
--
1/9/2015
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.
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.
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 hire only employees under 20 years of age at the youth
wage and employ them only for 90 days each?
1/9/2015
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.
--
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

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

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?
[...j 1996, the only option the IRS had when faced with a tax-exempt organization that had violated the
private inurement rules was to do nothing or to revoke the organizations tax-exempt status, a penalty

donate his time to do all the plumbing work for a nonprofit oranization building. The receives expense
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
meeting. Thus has inurement been received. This happens all the time in nonprofit fraternal
organizations., seem fishy to me.

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.

If a person involved with a 50 1C(3) organization uses his credit card to pay for expenses of the
organization in order to get a substantial rebate for his transaction and then gets reimbursed by the
organization rather than getting a check from the organization is there jeopardy of private inurement
for the organization or private benefit?

Sorry, I would need to know more facts regarding the transaction to answer this.

I have a question. After my grandfather died a lawyer stepped in and helped my grandmother re-write
the will. He set up a Private Foundation, of which he is the director. None of my family members are on
the board. lam trying to determine if I am able to in some way get a scholarship or grant from the
foundation for my daugther who is attending college next year. I was reading about self-dealing,
incidental benefits, and private benefits, and seem to begetting conflicting information about this. Can
you help with this topic?

You are precluded from obtaining a scholarship for your daughter because you are a disqualified
person and it would amount to self-dealing. Sorry.

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

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.

Can a church donate to a for-profit business without jeopardizing its tax-exempt status?
My church has decided to give all cash in next Sundays offering to a for-profit startup bagel shop,
because the church approves of its hiring and living wage policy and wants to help out. Is this a
problem?
13, 2013
at 5:56 pm
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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

employees when giving no income to student counselors described as volunteers
but functioning as full-time adult laborers.

sued my father for complaining to school and school district officials about his behavior toward me and
10
11
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
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
20
DEFENDANTS EVIDENCE IN SUPPORT OF HIS SPECIAL MOTION TO STRIKE PLAINTIFFS COMPLAINT
forms to the front desk staff at Westlake High School, which I did and which they accepted from me. A
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
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
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
26
21
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
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
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
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

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing is

Cell phone numbers:
Camp Office (805) 660-1254
RobBloom (818)231-0614
If a child is missing:
1. Search the inunediate area. Make sure you do not leave your group
unattended.
2. Check with the camp office to determine if the child left early.
3. Immediately inform Rob. Cell phone numbers are listed in the camp
office.
4. Do not discuss the situation with a parent or outside source prior
to speaking
with Rob.
5. REMINDERS:
a. Continually remind campers that they may never leave the group
by
themselves or without pennission.
b. Excellent supervision is essential to a successful camp progra
m.
c. Individuals not associated with the camp should be asked to leave
and
reported to a director.
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:
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.

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

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
personally observed at team games. Together with Clark and other concerned parents, we have
17
complained repeatedly to the Conejo Valley Unified School District, the Westlake High School District,
18
and other governmental agencies such as the I.R.S., the D.O.L., the California D.I.R. and asked them to

improprieties.
