Hello, I am known as MomClaire to many folks, having 11 children, 21 grandchildren, and being married to husband Steve for 42 years! I am a "Winey Women" walker, and a world traveler, so if I miss a Pool Board meeting, I probably have a name tag on somewhere and my passport in hand. I love to meet new people, far and near!

Hello, I am known as MomClaire to many folks, having 11 children, 21 grandchildren, and being married to husband Steve for 42 years! I am a "Winey Women" walker, and a world traveler, so if I miss a Pool Board meeting, I probably have a name tag on somewhere and my passport in hand. I love to meet new people, far and near! Other interests I enjoy would be, golfing, quilting, snorkeling, kayaking, wine tasting, playing guitar and singing with my husband. I do love playing just about any kind of game also! Steve and I have a Christmas Tree farm in the Maple Grove area and that is where we met back in grade school. All of our children also attended Maple Grove school and graduated from M.H.S.!! My mother, Helen Beyer, was on the original committee to get a swimming pool in Molalla, so I agreed to run for the Pool Board in her honor. Thank you for your trust in those of us on the present Board and we are working to make a great place for all ages to enjoy and gather in our town.

Richard (Rick) Gano has lived in the Molalla/Canby area since 1972 when he and his wife, Levonne (Mitts), moved to Oregon after Rick’s release from active duty after nine years with the air force. Levonne’s father was a local farmer and her mother was a teacher in the area. Levonne found a job teaching and Rick went back to college. After college, Rick was a teacher in the Canby school district while also continuing his air force career as a reservist. Rick retired from Canby HS in 2000 as a counselor and from the air force reserve in 2004 as a group commander with the rank of colonel. Rick swam competitively in HS and has continued swimming since the opening of the Molalla Aquatic Center. Besides serving on the pool board, Rick is a volunteer lifeguard. Swimming is a way of life with Rick. He was raised in swimming pools as his father worked all his life with oil companies in Venezuela and Indonesia. Rick’s primary goal as a board member is to help make the Molalla Aquatic Center the best in the area.
