Firefighter paramedic Andrew Glaze represents La Verne firefighters as union president during the ongoing Firefighter Association lawsuit against the city of La Verne and Fire Chief Jankowski. After several potentially hazardous situations were not addressed, the Association issued a vote of no confidence. The city kept Chief Jankowski in his position. In attempt to solve financial issues related to CalPERS, Chief Jankowski proposed cost-saving measures that Glaze says would negatively affect the firefighters and the service they provide, and are essentially a form of retaliation. / photo by Janelle Kluz

Oscar De Leon, manager at certified farmers markets in Claremont, Riverside and Moreno Valley, has duties that include vendor recruitment, permits and licenses, liaison between vendors, working with the fire department for safety, and working with the agencies regulating the markets. Unfortunately, the last La Verne Farmers Market, after a three-year run, was held on Dec. 30, 2017. “Because of the lack of attendance and low sales, it was difficult to retain farmers, and vendor turnover was very high,” Oscar says. / photo by Breanna Ulsh

“The Angle of Repose,” by Stephen Flicker, was commissioned by Combined Properties, Inc. Most developers of new property go to the city’s planning department and ask for artist recommendations. Combined Properties Inc., sought out a new artist on its own, who designed “The Angle of Repose.” During the approval process, the City Council debated whether the piece should be installed, due to its abstract nature, different from the representational works in La Verne which feature geographical areas surrounding the community or glimpses of La Verne’s history. The sculpture was ultimately approved and can be found at The Commons at La Verne in front of the Verizon Wireless Store. / photo by Breanna Ulsh
