Change the rules

Dear Editor: John Pixleys June 21 Observer column, Dont Like the Game? Change the Rules, was right on. What perplexes me is the portion about the city spending $165,000 for doubtful traffic calming measures when it seems a simpler and less expensive solution is available. The state ruling on continuously re-setting speed limits to higher than average actual speeds rewards law breakers and decreases safety. The less expensive solution I would like to suggest is based on observations Ive made when driving. This observation is that if there is a law enforcement unit conspicuously active in the immediate vicinity, the flow of traffic seems to magically slow down to the legal speed limit. Wouldnt it be more effective to put an active law enforcement unit on the street while a Radar Speed Survey is being conducted? The officer could pull over and ticket violators with flashing lights and obvious visual impact, and let the Radar Speed Survey reflect the attendant reduced speed that other motorists would likely demonstrate. This procedure may sound as ridiculous as the state policy that encourages increasingly higher and higher speeds, but it might lead to keeping speed limits enforceable within reasonable safety boundaries.

Equality in America
Dear Editor: What an amazing day! I watched our Supreme Court strike a huge blow against Democracy and Civil Rights by basically gutting the 1965 Voting Rights Act, and then turned around to find out that the same group of people had actually taken 2 steps in the other direction by ruling against DOMA and Proposition 8. The sad thing about it is that I wasnt surprised by the ruling on voting rights; this kind of travesty is what we almost expect from the court. Regarding DOMA and Proposition 8, I want to quote a Southern senator: Its a sin according to the Bible, it would destroy the sanctity of marriage, and, if we approve this, does that mean we can start marrying dogs and sheep now, too? This statement is inclusive of the 3 main arguments I have heard against gay marriage. The problem is this: That quote is from 1964 and this Senator (who was also an ordained minister) was talking about interracial marriage, not gay marriage. How long will it take us as a country (and as individuals) to see the inherent insanity in preaching against the civil rights of fellow Americans? I guess the answer to this is that we still are fighting for voting rights, 48 years later; I just hope this doesnt take that long. The Civil Rights movement isnt even close to being overwe all have work to do. Dan Kennan

Council approves $320,000 Foothill Boulevard master plan
ouncil members lent their unanimous support to the creation of a $320,000 master plan for alterations and improvements along Foothill Boulevard at their Tuesday, June 25 meeting.
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) issued the city of Claremont $5.7 million last June as part of its relinquishment of the city of Claremonts portion of the historic highway. In order to effectively spend that money, city officials suggest a master plan will help to consolidate existing plans for the street and create a community vision for the future of Foothill Boulevard, and to identify, prioritize and coordinate improvements to the street and public right-of-way. However, not all were in agreement. Claremont resident Douglas Lyon suggested using the money to take care of the trees along Foothill Boulevard, particularly the Eucalyptus, instead of spending so much time and money on a master plan. Foothill Boulevard is just fine the way it is, he told the council. Council Member Joe Lyons pointed out that Caltrans had agreed to relinquish Foothill Boulevard to Claremont with the condition that improvements would be made. Portions of Foothill Boulevard are not up to American Disability Act (ADA) standards and certain street and signal upgrades are also needed. City Manager Tony Ramos added that he believed a master plan would help the city manage the relinquishment funds. City officials recognize that the money from Caltrans wont be enough to cover the cost of improvements to the street. Administrators are suggesting that exploring funding sources be a
part of the master plan. Identifying needs and consulting the public for input into this community vision are also a part of the plan. There is a really in-depth public process that will go along with this master plan, and we will let our public know as we go through this process so they can come out and give their comments, Mr. Ramos said. Its not about wasting money and repeating what weve done before, but making sure...that our public has their input into what this will look like for their future. Foundation claims to have the answer to citys economic woes The Claremont City Council received an unexpected offer during public comment Tuesday night. A man by the name of Jerry Vincent, an Apple Valley resident, claimed to have the solution to Claremonts economic challenges. Mr. Vincent identified himself as a volunteer leader introducing a worldwide humanitarian funding institution called the H. Martin Foundation. According to the foundations website, it is also known by the tagline, The Realization of Gods Ultimate Program, a group in support of creating global centers to include education, health, housing, ecology and strategic planning services. The H Martin Foundation is now reaching out to the mayors of southern California with the intent of collaborating with local government to provide funding for all the cities various programs and projects, to create local jobs, to provide humanitarian services and to provide disaster relief and community development, he said. The H Martin Foundation will consider 100 percent funding for all of the citys existing projects for the purpose of creating local jobs and for providing family services. It was not explained where that funding would come from, other than that
the money was not a government grant but instead privately-owned and recognized by the highest monetary authorities and by the United States Government. In exchange for funding, Mr. Vincent is asking the city to allow the foundation to set up a community center in Claremont called The H Martin Global Community Center of Claremont, to provide a place for different nonprofits and humanitarian agencies to meet under one roof. Now the hard part: raising $99,900 for Shelton Park stage Claremonts Shelton Park is receiving a much-anticipated musical tune-up. The Claremont City Council approved plans for the construction of a $100,000 performance stage to be built in the northeast corner of the small Village park, located at Bonita and Harvard Avenues. The Village Marketing Group, a subcommittee of the Claremont Chamber of Commerce, will lead the fundraising efforts. Mayor Opanyi Nasiali kick started the fundraising by handing over a $100 check following the councils unanimous vote. Now you only have to raise $99,900, Mr. Nasiali quipped. The 210-square-foot stage, designed by local architect Paul Wheeler, will be similar to the bandshell found at Memorial Park, made with durable materials such as cement, stone, Douglas fir crossbeams and red brick to withstand the weather. A concrete pad will be added adjacent to the stage for the placement of a temporary restroom and hand washing station as needed. The Village Marketing Group had originally planned on gifting the stage to the city. However, because the stage will then be under the ownership of the city, which would be responsible for maintaining the stage thereafter, the
councils approval was needed before and a competitive bidding process required. It will cost an estimated $1500 a year to maintain the stage, a sum that will be taken from the Community and Human Resources maintenance budget, according to Melissa Vollaro, a department manager. Marketing group members have had their sights set on building a stage at Shelton since the citys Zip Code Day, held on 9-17-11. A temporary stage built at the corner park for the days activities proved so successful that VMG members decided it should be a permanent feature. They propose the stage could be used for youth performances, puppet shows and live music events, such as the Claremont Chambers Friday Nights Live. We could have a sort of triangle of events from the Depot to the performance area over by the Laemmle theater and something else on the other side of the Village...so that people can become familiar with all parts of the Village, explained Catherine Curtis. Construction plans have been shared with a number of city governing bodies, through the Architectural Commission, Community and Human Services Commission and a number of subsequent committees. VMG members have also canvassed the surrounding community, all with positive feedback. The audience on Tuesday was equally enthusiastic. Not all kids should be studying math and engineering all the time. We need a place for the kids to beat the bongos, strum the guitar, Mr. Wheeler said. We need a place for the moan and groan conservatives to soap box and the same thing for the moan and groan liberals, and I just think this is going to be a great place for the community to get together and be what Claremonsters are all about.

Officials close College Avenue after discovery of sinkhole
ollege students may have gone home for the summer, but they arent the latest roadway obstacle for regular College Avenue commuters.
City officials recently closed part of College Avenue after a sinkhole appeared on the southbound lane of the Village roadway, just north of Fourth Street. Officials have blocked off College from Fourth to Sixth Street, as maintenance workers survey and fix the damage. It is unknown when the street will be reopened. Other segments of College Avenue will be closed this summer as part of other construction projects. Fourth Street between College Avenue and College Way will be blocked off to cars as Pomona College continues work on the second phase of the colleges Fourth Street/Marston Quadrangle Pedestrian Walkways Project.

Setting the standard for giving to Claremonts community
ehind every successful business and service organization in Claremont is a dedicated group of workers. In many of these cases, there is also another common factor: Sonja Stump.
Its hard to name an event or committee that hasnt been influenced by the helping hands of Ms. Stump. As chair of the Village Marketing Group, she has added her touches to the Village Wine Walk, Friday Nights Live and the upcoming Craft Beer Walk. She has ensured Election Day goes off without a hitch as a polling place volunteer for the past 30 years. The Chamber noted Ms. Stumps efforts with both the Pomona Valley Workshop and Pomona Valley Hospital, where she works alongside her husband, Bob Fagg. Though its now crunch time for Claremonts Independence Day extravaganzayes, she is on the Fourth of July Committee tooMs. Stump took a timeout from the last-minute preparations for a little well-earned celebrating. Ms. Stump was presented with the Claremont Chamber of Commerces first-ever Volunteer of the Year award at the Chambers annual awards ceremony, held on Wednesday at the DoubleTree Hotel. The honor was bestowed to the pleasantly surprised Ms. Stump in front of a room filled with fellow Claremont volunteers and business folk, who were less fazed than the awards ecstatic recipient. Im honored and shocked, she said. There are so many volunteers in Claremont, its really lovely to be recognized. I feel really blessed.

always trying to keep up with her parents, who frequently volunteered with their church, the Parent Teacher Association and other local groups. Her mom was also an active member of the League of Women Voters, sharing her love of politics with her daughter. Despite the chaos of busy schedules, the Stump family always found time to take their usual shopping trip around Christmas in order to donate food and items to needy families. She continued in that same vein when she attended a service trip in New York City as a teenager, spending her paycheck to give back to the needy families she had been working for. As an adult, she carries on the tradition of her familys volunteerism. While all of her causes are close to her heart, Ms. Stump relishes helping in the emergency room at the Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center and providing for families and their sick infants through the Pomona Valley Auxiliary fund, raising money for those unable to afford the care. Its her way of giving back for all her good fortune. If you can make life a little easier for somebody, thats a good thing, she insisted. In addition to conferring Ms. Stump with Volunteer of the Year, Chamber officials recognized several other Claremont businesses and community members for outstanding service. Ann Doskow was bestowed with Ambassador of the Year for her 34 years of service and Wheeler-Steffen Sothebys agent Ryan Zimmerman was named the Chambers Businessperson of the Year. Additionally, First Street Gallery Art Center and Claremont Senior Center shared the honor of Nonprofits of the Year, while the Claremont DoubleTree Hotel and Claremont COURIER were recognized as the Large and Small Business of the Year, respectively.

Police catch up with man wanted for 5 murder attempts

On Wednesday, June 19, Claremont police and other agencies came to the aid of Pomona officers to assist in the arrest of a man wanted for the attempted murder of 5 people, including a 2-month-old baby. Salvador Luna, 35, of Pomona was on parole through the prison realignment program during the time of the alleged of Elder Drive. The stolen tools are worth an estimated $3000. Tuesday, June 2 Employees of the Visiting Nurses Association, 150 W. First St., received a particularly unpleasant wakeup call on Tuesday morning, courtesy of a loud fight right outside their building. A male and female, claiming to have been in a 3-month relationship, were bickering outside their car when the argument suddenly escalated. The 32-year-old male was seen grabbing his girlfriend by the neck and shoving her into the side of his car. He had been reportedly attempting to take away her phone so she wouldnt contact the police. They were contacted incident. Police state that Mr. Luna had shot at an occupied vehicle near Kingsley and Karesh Avenues in Pomona. Nobody was injured. Though Mr. Luna attempted to flee the scene, police caught up with him near the scene of the initial incident. He is currently being held for $5 million bail.
Saturday, June 22 Police were called to the 5000 block of Colby Drive on Thursday afternoon after a neighbor was overheard threatening to kill somebody. Police contacted the man, but found he was home alone. After an evaluation by police, it was decided that the man be taken to a local hospital for psychiatric evaluation.

EDUCATION
CUSD board inches closer to Service Center relocation
t their last meeting, members of the Claremont Unified School District Board of Education gave direction to the architects at Flewelling & Moody to draw up plans for placement of a new Service Center on the grounds of the CUSD District Office at 170 W. San Jose Ave.
At the Thursday, June 20 school board meeting, James Moreto, principal/architect of Flewelling & Moody, presented the board with a few options for placement and configuration of the districts center of operations. The firm had previously made preliminary drawings and calculations for placement of the Service Center at San Antonio High School as well as at the district office. At their June 6 meeting, the boardheeding their own misgivings about impinging on open space at the local continuation school as well as community outcry about bringing an industrial facility to a neigh-
borhood marked by single-family dwellingsdirected Mr. Moreto to focus his efforts on the district office property. Of Mr. Moretos drawings, the board agreed that the best of these was to situate the new service center on the southwest corner of the district office property, adjacent to the freeway. Even with a fenced-off parking area allowing for 20 district vehicles making the service center property into a good-sized L, the placement allows for a largely unimpeded flow of regular district office traffic, according to board members. The estimated construction cost for the southwest corner option is $1,405,410 plus a soft cost of $252,974 for unexpected contingencies, making for a total project cost of $1,658,384, according to Mr. Moreto. The amount includes the importing and installing of a significant amount of soil to compensate for a 5-foot slope present in the area that will serve as a footprint for the new building. It also includes $30,000 for a 10-foot sound wall to cushion district employees who are working outside from potential freeway noise; general noise insulation to keep the inside of the new service center quiet has been
built into the buildings. Whether the sound wall will be included is still up for consideration, with board member Jeff Stark suggesting it is likely unnecessary since most work occurs outside. Sam Mowbray, who first suggested the wall out of consideration for district employees, has requested that Rick Cota, service center director, and his team provide the board with some data on how much of their work occurs outdoors. A conservative estimate of how long the project will take is 45 weeks, but 42 weeks is a more likely number. At an auction held at the end of May, homebuilder DR Horton purchased the current service center property, located at 700 Base Line Road. The homebuilder is looking at about a year on top of a standard 60-day postauction period before the escrow closes. Mr. Mowbray asked if that meant the board should finalize plans for a new center soon, perhaps as soon as August 1, Lisa Shoemaker, assistant superintendent of business services, assented. If we put it off too long, well be pushing up against that deadline, she said. Earlier in the meeting, Mr. Mowbray asked whether another property recently
declared surplus, the long-defunct La Puerta Intermediate School at 2475 N. Forbes Ave.which is still used for a few community classes and functionsmight be another good option for service center placement. He wondered, in particular, how much it might cost to modify a portion of the already existing main building for district needs. Ms. Shoemaker asserted that it would be cost-prohibitive, given that considerable mitigation measures would be needed in order to make it safe for inhabitation. Even chipping off the existing paint, which contains lead, would be cause for expensive studies and remediation. The 4.35-acre site of the old district office at Base Line Road and Mountain Avenue fetched $6.2 million in February of 2012 and the 3.4-acre service center property sold for $7 million, with both properties going to highest bidder DR Horton. With prices like that in mind, Mr. Stark had another concern about relocating the facility there. That property is too valuable to use as a service center, he said.

San Antonio principal to leave school, move to district position
an Antonio High School has been on an upward swing in many ways over the past years.
Attendance at the local continuation school, which had grown to 88.78 percent by the 2011-2012 school year, continues to improve. Suspension rates have fallen in the last 2 years. Last year, San Antonio was named one of the 25 Model Continuation Schools in California, CUSD a title the school will retain through the NEWS 2013-2014 school year. The designation recognizes continuation schools demonstrating exemplary program effectiveness in school management, curriculum, instructional strategies, educational climate, and guidance and counseling. Come this fall, Principal Steven Boyd, who has been instrumental to such successes, will trade his place at the helm of San Antonio and the associated Community Day School for a position at the district office. At a recent school board meeting, several community members expressed dismay at Mr. Boyds removal from the school. During public comment, Russ Frank, a director at the Riverside County Office of Education, questioned whether the district was fully aware of the current strengths of the SAHS program. After acknowledging he is a personal friend of Mr. Boyds, he cited numbers that point to the contribution Mr. Boyd has made during his 9 years at SAHS. Student proficiency, as measured by passage of the CAHSEE (the high school exit exam), has risen by some 60 percent over the past 2 years, Mr. Frank said. When you compare SAHS to 4 other continuation schools in the region, it has the lowest dropout rate, he added. Mr. Franks wife Barbara, a longtime school counselor, then took to the podium to attest to the emotional component of Mr. Boyds connection with students. She cited the remarkable buy-in SAHS students exhibit, much of which she attributes to the high level of communication, respect and appreciation they receive from Mr. Boyd. At San Antonio, she said, kids who were once struggling have been able to find academic success, social success and self-esteem. Mr. Boyds end-of-year presentation on SAHS Single Plan for Student Achievement, made at the June 6 CUSD
board meeting, drew sharp criticism from board member Hilary La Conte, who requested that data relating to the 89 students at SAHS be broken down by subgroup. Board member Mary Caenepeel scrutinized details of his presentation by requesting Mr. Boyd state numbers rather than percentages in his future reports to the board. According to Superintendent Jim Elsasser, however, Mr. Boyds new position does not represent any type of demotion. Instead, he said, the decision was based on the need for the administrators technological expertise in preparation for 2015, when the district joins schools across the country in transitioning to new testing and curriculum standards. He has a real interest and passion for technology, Mr. Elsasser said. We need someone to work with the tech team as we transition to the Common Core. Its a very big project. Mr. Boyd says hes ready to move onto something bigger. For the technology piece, well be taking a look at whats most cost-effective in the long runiPad, tablet, laptop, the full range, he said. The most exciting part is that how we implement the whole Common Core is going to change everything in teaching. Proponents of the assessment change say the Common Core, a new form of assessment that will replace the Standard Testing and Reporting Program (STAR testing), will help education across the United States become more rigorous and uniform and better prepare students for higher education and the workforce. Governor Jerry Browns proposed 2013-2014 budget includes $1.25 billion to help California schools transition to the Common Core. While he has yet to direct how it should be spent, CUSD will be devoting some resources to Mr. Boyds new position. Making a difference Mr. Boyd is known for having an extraordinary rapport with students. SAHS Class of 2013 representative Aimee Orcasitas spoke to this connection in her June 13 address at the San Antonio High School (SAHS) graduation, held in conjunction with the Claremont High School graduation. She arrived at SAHS, with a remarkably poor attendance record and in danger of not graduating, holding a tainted image of Claremonts continuation high school.
COURIERphoto/Steven Felschundneff San Antonio High School Principal Steven Boyd addresses the class of 2013 during commencement earlier this month. After leading San Antonio for many years, Mr. Boyd has been reassigned to a job at the district office.
Once she arrived and was welcomed with open arms by Mr. Boyd, Aimee said she realized there was a high commitment to provide her with the individualized education she needed to complete high school and move on. In his time at San Antonio High School, Mr. Boyd asserts he has gained much from his students. Ive learned that theyre all totally different, that they all have a certain set of needs, he said. And thats what we do in alternative ed, to hopefully fulfill those needs and help them grow. While he will miss SAHS, Mr. Boyd is focusing on the positive aspects of the move. There is always, he says, the possibility that over-familiarity with the campus could lead him to overlook glaring problems. Ive been here for 9 years. Thats a long time for most any principal, he said. Id hate to be the person who has been walking around and doing things so many times it becomes natural. Mr. Boyd, whom Mr. Elsasser acknowledges loves his students, says he fully expects he will be back working with students in the future. Sarah Torribio

Peachy keen
by Mellissa Martinez
ne of the best things about summer is the taste of a succulent peach. Since Claremont trees are almost ready for the picking, why not look a little further into the root of this delicious fruit? Sometimes the etymology of a fruit can lead us back to its country of origin and sometimes it takes us on a journey of various countries and languages. In the case of the peach, there are many tales to tell.
LEX
IN THE
CITY
Although Persians may have provided the name to many European languages, they were not the first to grow the fruit. Genetic tests and ancient writings suggest that the origin of the peach is Chinese. Peaches are mentioned in Chinese ancient writing samples from 900 BC, but it is believed that they were a favorite fruit of emperors as early as 2000 BC. It is believed that the Chinese carried them to India and western Asian countries, including Iran. In Hindi, the peach is called aru, in Turkish, seftali, and in Chinese, tao zi. Some other summer fruits derived their names from the peach. The word nectarine, for example, first came to English in the 1600s. Inspired from the German nektarpfirsich, or nectar-peach, English speakers chose the version nectrine meaning of or like nectar. Eventually it transitioned to nectarine. Apricot got its name because it was believed to be a precooked peach. The Romans originally called it the
It was the ancient Iranians who introduced the peach to the Greeks sometime around 300 BC. The Greeks, who had never seen the delicious fruit, called it a Persian apple or Persikon malon. In fact, in Ancient Greek, Persikos meant both Persian and peach. Eventually Latin adopted the word malum Persicum, Persian apple, which was passed on to French as pesche, and many years later, it arrived in English as peach. Many languages got their name for peach from the Greeks reference to the Persians including Italian pesche, Romanian piersic, Portuguese pessego, Russian piersika and German pfirsich. Additionally, the botanical name Prunis Persicica still refers to Persia. Spanish differs from most European languages with its word for peach melacoton, literally cotton-skinned apple.
malum Armeniacum, or Armenian apple, as it came from Armenia. Given that the apricot ripened earlier than the peach, they began to call it malum praecoquum from prae-, early and coquum, cook. Eventually precoquum transitioned to apricot. Precoquum also lead to precocious, meaning developed before the usual time. Once the word peach reached English, it took on a life of its own, accruing various idiomatic meanings having to do with beauty and goodness. Many scholars think that this association comes from ancient cultures who believed that the peach carried a sexual connotation. In the late 1700s it was used to describe an attractive woman and in the early 1900s a good person. Peaches and cream refers to a creamy complexion and in the 1950s a good situation was described as peachy-keen jelly bean. The word impeach is not connected to the fruit. It comes from the Old French empeechier, hinder. This was derived from the Latin pedica, shackle and earlier pes, foot. In the 1560s, the verb to peach meant to inform against. Eventually this very became appeach and later impeach. In the peachs native home of China, it is a symbol of longevity, fertility, immortality, protective magic, youth and spring. In short, the peach is a darn good thing. If youre one of the lucky Claremonters who owns your own tree, enjoy and share with good friends. After all, the peach has traveled a long way to get to your backyard!
Second Street closure in July

Supporting victims of domestic violence

Dear Editor: There is a great need in our community to raise awareness about domestic violence and the fear that many women face when reporting these types of cases to their employers, public service agencies, family and friends. There is still a great amount of stigma surrounding these cases in our community, and many times victims find themselves lacking the support they need from colleagues, friends and community members. A recent story in the news brought attention to the fear that many women face of losing their jobs and enduring a lack of support when reporting domestic violence. Carie Charlesworth, a teacher at Holy Trinity Catholic School in San Diego, was fired for being a victim of domestic violence after her ex-husband appeared on campus and the school had to be put on lockdown. Following the incident, Ms. Charlesworth and her 4 children were placed on an indefinite leave from the school. Three months later, Ms. Charlesworth received another letter from the school informing her that she
was fired and would not be allowed to teach at any other Diocesan school because the families of children attending the school viewed her presence as a threat and liability to their safety. What is unique about Ms. Charlesworths case is that she not only lacks the support of her employer, but also that of her faith-based community which is often a source of hope for many people. The stance taken by Holy Trinity Catholic School and the families attending the school demonstrate the lack of understanding that exists in the workplace and in the community about domestic violence. In Ms. Charlesworths case, school officials and her peers have held her accountable for actions that her ex-husband is solely responsible for and have treated her as a threat and liability. When we choose to ignore or blame victims of domestic violence, we as a community only discourage victims from speaking up and seeking further help. It is important for community members to learn how to properly respond to
READERS COMMENTS
domestic violence cases because it is a fact that 1 in 4 women will be a victim of intimate partner violence throughout their lifetime. Domestic violence is an issue that affects each and every one of us. It does not discriminate based on our social, cultural or economic background. We can help women in our community overcome this obstacle by acknowledging the problem, providing them with a safe environment to speak out and ask for help, and offering them the resources and support necessary to break the cycle. Although it can be difficult to address the issue of domestic violence, there are many resources for families affected by domestic violence. Organizations such as House of Ruth exist to support families affected by domestic violence, as well as to train and educate members of the community to become a valuable source of comfort and support to families affected by this tragedy.

Blessed are the peacemakers

Dear Editor: Recently, my wife made the surprising suggestion that we attend this years Independence Day parade here in Claremont; this, after skipping it for many years because local liberals insisted on using the parade as a stage to promote their personal agenda. Some of the units that had marched past us were anti-war demonstrators, sundry Peace With Jus-
tice groups, and UN advocates. Inevitably their signs included the ubiquitous Blessed Are The Peacemakers placards, an apparent reference to any individual or advocacy group that wants to stop wars, particularly those waged by the United States. Marching down Indian Hill Boulevard, they must have felt a smug self-assurance as they passed large homes displaying War is Not The Answer lawn signs, which seemed to give tacit reinforcement to their views. I earnestly believe in the phrase Blessed Are The Peacemakers but, for me, these words refer to the brave men and women of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard. Americans who understand that peace is a blessing that comes from strength moral, emotional, and physical. Independence Day is a day to celebrate the exceptionality of the greatest nation on Earth, not an occasion to pick at Americas zits. However well-intentioned, accentuating Americas perceived negatives on this, of all days, is patently unpatriotic. Still, my wife and I will attend this years festivities with smiles on our faces knowing that the vast majority of parade watchers are enthusiastic Americans, who love the country that pours its blessings on us every day.

George Galbreath
Professor, economics scholar, inventor
George Galbreath, a longtime Claremont resident, died on June 15, 2013. He was 86. Mr. Galbreath was born on October 25, 1926 in Marysville, California to Beverly B.J. and Almyra Mae Galbreath. He grew up in nearby Live Oak on a farm, where he helped his family tend their peach, walnut and almond orchards. At age 17, Mr. Galbreath joined the US Army Air Corps, with his father signing the permission slip since he was underage. Quickly recognized for his intelligence, he was sent to Oregon State Universitys Army Specialized Training Program in mechanical engineering and then to Stanford University, where he received a certificate of engineering in the Army Specialized Training Program. As the war advanced, he was attached to the Navy, where he participated in the atomic bomb testing program and served in the Adjutant Generals Office. Upon being discharged from the 509th Composite Bombardment Group in 1946, he joined with 4 of his brothers to become a managing partner of Galbreath Brothers Orchards. He continued to further his education, earning a bachelors degree with distinction in international relations from Stanford University and a masters degree in economics, also from Stanford. Mr. Galbreath did additional graduate work at the University of California, Berkeley and the Claremont Graduate University. When Mr. Galbreath was on break from school, he would head back to work on the Galbreath farm and it was there, in 1952, that he met his future wife, Patricia. Mr. Galbreath began his teaching career with brief tenures at Stanford Community College and Cal Poly University, San Luis Obispo. He moved to southern California in 1953, where he began teaching at Cal Poly University, Pomona. In 1955, he and Patricia were married. They welcomed their first child, Robert Galbreath, a year later. Over the years, they added 3 daughters to their family, Karen, Janice and Linda. Over Mr. Galbreaths 39-year career at Cal Poly, Pomona, he served as chair of the social sciences and economic departments and founded several other departments. He won many awards for teaching and scholarship and was one of the first 2 recipients of Cal Polys Outstanding Professor award. Mr. Galbreath also edited numerous books and presented papers throughout the world. He notably traveled to Chinaspeaking and

Tournament play starts with tough opponents waiting in wings
nother season is in the books, and another crop of outstanding young baseball players have been grouped together for 5 different age groups to compete for the home team in Claremont Little Leagues AllStar Tournament.
Claremonts 8 and 9-year-old AllStars kicked off the triple-elimination tournament against one of Glendoras 4 teams on Tuesday evening. Claremont was unable to get much run-support, while Glendora jumped out to a big lead early on and cruised to a 15-6 victory. This was the Claremont All-Stars first game of the tournament. Glendora, meanwhile, dispatched their city rivals earlier in the week 16-8. Glendora pitcher Aidan Blanco, third baseman JT Greep and speedster Tyler McNamara all showed their skills in a solid performance, and looked to repeat it Tuesday against Claremont. Each team scored a run in the first inning, and then Claremonts Aidan Ross pitched a 1-2-3 second inning. Two outstanding sliding grabs by Chris Chavez in center field robbed Glendora of base hits. The wheels came off the wagon in the third and fourth innings for Claremont, however. Glendora put 5 runs on the board in each frame with some exceptional base running and key Claremont fielding errors. In the bottom of the fourth, Claremont pulled back a couple of runs. Ross led off with a single and shortstop Matty Graves walked. Third baseman Alek Miller loaded the bases when he smacked a base hit up the middle. Jude Rhoa came to the plate and brought home 2 runs with a fielders choice ground ball. Glendora got out of the jam, and tacked on 4 more runs of their own. Claremont answered in the dying frames to make the score line a respectable 15-6, against a red-hot team with excellent pitching. Results from Claremonts 8-9s AllStars will be posted on the League

Shifting focus from sports reporting to health and wellness
t saddens me a bit to say that I will be leaving the COURIER. Although it has been fulfilling to work in the newspaper industry with my wonderful colleagues this past year, my decision to accept a position with a healthcare and wellness center represents my dream to be a part of a new age of health and wellness delivery.
I will be working with MetroHealth Station (MHS), with founder Kathy Sullivan and a bright team of individuals whose collective goal is to improve the health of southern California residents by prevention. The clinic will specifically target men and women aged 18-44, who are currently under-insured and under-served. With our nations administration redirecting more funding for people who use governmental insurance, MHS will pave the way for benefit corporations to realize that insuring and preventing illness of the underserved can be profitable and socially responsible. MHS is a startup, set to open its flagship operation late this summer in southwestern Los Angeles. In Los Angeles County, it is estimated that almost 30 per-
cent of the population is uninsured. If we look specifically at the Jefferson Park district of south Los Angeles, we find that number to be much higher. There is a distinct lack of health centers in this area. Within a one-mile radius, there are 90,000 residents and 4 McDonalds fast food restaurants. There is not one institution specifically built to improve peoples health. The target population has a number of other significant needs. The median income for a family in Jefferson Park is just north of $30,000, while the average is almost $50,000. This indicates a trend of the rich getting richer, the poor getting poorer. Problems for residents in Jefferson Park include high infant mortality, low birth weight and inadequate prenatal care. Maternal and infant health statistics are all below the national average. In addition, 40 percent of high school students drop
out, and 50 percent of students are in foster care. Violent deaths, incarceration and sexually transmitted disease rates are all above the national average. Statistics on residents of Jefferson Park show higher rates of diabetes and chronic disease than almost every other zip code in greater Los Angeles (OSHPD). The areas residents are predominantly black or Hispanic. Studies have shown that nationally, adults who are black or Hispanic die 10 years earlier than adults of other ethnicities. MHS aims to reduce the rate of uninsured residents, and stem the rise of diabetes and chronic disease by ensuring that 10,000 people sign up for semiannual appointments with the clinics health professionals. MHS takes advantage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and will advocate for greater understanding of the changes brought about by the ACA. At MHS, we will work to align new patients with existing health insurance programs with the help of a health navigator, who will go over potential plans and help decrease the number of uninsured people in the area. The ACA means that there will be considerably more funding for low-to-moderate income Americans who cannot get insurance through their jobs, so they can afford coverage. It also means that private health insurance will be more affordable for people through tax credits and price transparency.
MHS will not compete with existing outpatient clinics. The model is designed so that MHS reaches a niche of under-insured adults who otherwise would not have received wellness care. These people would potentially fall sick in the future and cost taxpayers more money on the back end, but MHS will stymie that back-end cost by preventing sickness. MHS is designed to integrate with existing systems by contracting with hospital groups and other outpatient clinics, thus uniting health silos that previously did not cover the entire health delivery pipeline. As the operations coordinator, my job is to ensure that everyone on the startup team knows their particular tasks and meets their deadlines. I will also be responsible for the build-out of the wellness clinic, planning the layout of the center and working with the construction team. MHS plans to open the clinic to patients in January, and efforts are already underway to recruit the first wave of patients, as well as the professionals who will see them. This model of health wellness delivery is expandable and should work in any under-served area. If MHS is successful, the company will open wellness centers and new jobs all over Los Angeles. Our team is confident that we will hit the ground running, and begin a revolution in health delivery.

CSTs newly-selected president applauds same-sex marriage rulings
he Rev. Dr. Kah-Jin Jeffrey Kuan, president elect of the Claremont School of Theology, responded on Wednesday to news of the US Supreme Courts twin rulings in defense of same-sex marriage. He applauded the high courts decision to strike down part of 1996s Defense of Marriage Act and to dismiss an appeal supporting Proposition 8, the 2008 ballot initiative that banned same-sex marriages in California. This is a landmark day in the history of our nation and the global struggle for human rights, Rev. Kuan expressed in a release. I am proud to stand and rejoice with my LGBT sisters and brothers as we celebrate today, while recognizing the work yet to be done on the long
arc toward justice. As we continue to determine what this means for the church, we join with communities of faith across the country and around the world to seek justice, love and mercy, and walk humbly with our God, together and forever. Rev. Kuan will officially take the helm of the Claremont School of Theology on Saturday, July 1. He is succeeding Jerry D. Campbell, who held the position for 7 years and who will remain president of Claremont Lincoln University. Rev. Kuan, an ordained elder in The United Methodist Church, has served as dean of Drew University Theological School since 2011. He spent nearly 20 years on
the faculties of the Pacific School of Religion and Graduate Theological Union, eaching in the areas of Hebrew Bible and Asian and Asian-American hermeneutics. Ordained in the UMCs California-Nevada Annual Conference, Rev. Kuan currently chairs the Commission on Theological Education of the UMC University Senate and recently completed two 4-year terms on the UMC General Board of Higher Education and Ministry, where he served as vice president. Rev. Kuan also serves on the boards of the Reconciling Ministries Network and Asian American and Pacific Islander United Methodist Clergywomen Association, and chairs the Member Council of the Hispanic Theological Initiative Consortium.

to meet Ms. Sotomayer when both women happened to be visiting the Getty Museum in Malibu at the same time. She was a bit star-struck, Ms. Keith admitted. Shes a fighter but a very kind, genuine woman and very approachable, she said. Ms. Keith noted that many of the books she is drawn to are about immigrants or people who are in an unfamiliar place. There are elements of her life story that have lead to this predilection. Growing up, on both sides of my family there were distinctive immigrant roots, she noted. One set of grandparents was from Italy and they spoke Italian. Her other grandparents were Irish and very ethnic. When you look at the books you are attracted to, there are obvious rootswhere you have lived, what you have done and your familyhave a lot of influence in what you read, Ms. Keith said. Ms. Keith has derived a lot of pure pleasure from reading beginning with her days as a girl, devouring books like the Nancy Drew series and Robinson Crusoe and weeping over the fate of Beth in Little Women. She is not, however, a purist when it comes to the printed page. She carries a pink-covered Kindle with her most places she goes and adopted her first reading tablet 3 years ago. What Im looking at is the writing. Writing shows up whatever way you read, she asserts. Some of the best writing Ms. Keith has ever encountered is in Alice Walkers Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Color Purple, which takes place in rural Georgia and focuses on female black life in the 1930s in the southern United States. In the book, which follows the narrator Celie from her teenage years to maturity, the protagonist moves from victim to victor. Its incrediblea simple, but eloquently and beautifully written book, Ms. Keith shared. When you finish it, you dont want it to be finished.

Claremonter joins state community college trustee board
Wilma and David Ogle
ince 1999, Claremonter Sue Keith has been a member of the Citrus Community College Board of Trustees, working to represent students of the Glendora community college. With her election this last May to the California Community College Trustees Board of Directors, she is taking that advocacy statewide.
The organizations aim is to promote student access and success by strengthening colleges through leadership development, advocacy, policy development and district services. Ms. Keith, who just returned from her first CCCT meeting in Sacramento, took a moment to explain various aspects of this mission. With regards to leadership development, she said, its about trustees and administrators of the states community colleges looking at their respective employees and ensuring that they are supporting optimum growth. There are many openings across California for chancellors, superintendents, presidents, vice presidents and deans, Ms. Keith notes. If California community colleges offer educational opportunities to their middle and upper level management, they have a greater chance of filling their administrative vacancies with one of their own employees, or finding a suitable applicant from another Golden State community college. While there are many fine administrators across the country, Ms. Keith allowed, she notes that each time someone is brought in from another state they must adapt to the unique rules and academic climate of California. The CCCTs emphasis on advocacyworking with legislature to support or oppose bills that would impact community collegesis especially important to Ms. Keith because it facilitates her personal mission when it comes to community colleges: working to safeguard student access. Student access was threatened in a very real way in recent years, when the recession spurred wide-scale cuts at Citrus College and community colleges across the state.
Community colleges cant turn students away but that is effectively what happened when, with dozens of sections cut, students began to find it impossible to get classes. Trustees, administrators and faculty of a college cannot use the schools resources to campaign for a proposition. Ms. Keith thus used her own time and resources to advocate for Proposition 30. The passage of the ballot initiative, nonetheless, has underscored the impact of political advocacy in the educational realm. With new tax money earmarked for community colleges, Citrus schedule this fall will inclue 179 classes that had been cut and are now restored. I call it a Godsend, Ms. Keith says of Prop 30. 179 classesthats a lot of opportunities. Ms. Keith has a background at the K-12 level as well as at the community college level. She was on the Claremont Unified School Districts Board of Education for 12 years as well as serving as president of the Baldy View ROP Commission. This experience has shown her the importance of a pet cause: collaboration between K-12 schools and community colleges. There are countless ways the 2 systems can work together to foster a smoother transition between the various levels of schooling. One example of this cooperation is early college, which is designed for middle-achieving students who have the potential, though they may not know it, to go to college. These students can begin taking courses at their local community college in junior year, making it possible for them to graduate from high school with a year of college under their belts. Another area of collaboration is for community colleges to work with K-12 schools to align their curriculum, particularly in core areas such as math and English. That way, when a student arrives at community college, you have covered what you need to take in a collegelevel course, Ms. Keith explained. After a lifetime of educational advocacy, Ms. Keith can get behind the CCCTs focus: Our whole strategy is based on student success.

Citrus College confers record number of associate degrees
Citrus College conferred a record-breaking 1508 associate degrees at its 97th commencement exercises, held on Saturday, June 15. That number surpassed last years record-breaking number of 1332. This is the third consecutive year in which the 98-year-old institution has achieved this milestone. In addition, 258 associate degrees for transfer were conferred. The transfer degrees are being offered for the second year, and the number of Citrus College students who are graduating with a transfer degree has increased exponentially, from 42 degrees awarded in 2012. Last year, Citrus College was recognized by The Campaign for College Opportunity, the sponsor of the Student Transfer Achievement Reform (STAR) Act of 2010, for being one of the top 3 community colleges in California to comply with the new legislation by offering 13 transfer degrees. The Citrus College Class of 2013 also includes 389 students graduating with honors and 49 military veterans, who enrolled at the college upon their return to civilian life. Overall, the 3 top majors chosen by the graduating class were social and behavioral sciences, biological sciences and mathematics, and business.
AARP celebrates state passage of Medi-Cal expansion

AARP California State Director Katie Hirning released a statement regarding the announcement that both houses of the California legislature have passed the Medi-Cal Expansion as part of the implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). This landmark legislation will provide millions of lowincome Californians with the coverage they need, she said in a release. It will help 50 to 64-year-olds who have lost their jobs, are struggling to find new ones and can't get affordable health care. A ARP estimates more than nearly 400,000 Californians between the ages of 50 and 64 could qualify for Medi-Cal. The Medi-Cal expansion, AAPR noted, will provide a bridge for older workers until they become eligible for Medicare.
The children of longtime Claremont residents Wilma and David Ogle proudly announce their parents 60th wedding anniversary last Friday, June 21, 2013. A celebration took place at Las Brisas Restaurant in Laguna Beach, a family favorite for its amazing view of the Pacific Ocean. Mr. and Mrs. Ogle and their 4 children arrived in Claremont in August 1971 from Blackfoot, Idaho. The couple, Idaho natives, grew up on the farm, Mrs. Ogle on her familys ranch in Rockland and Mr. Ogle at Schiller, where his parents operated the grain elevator for General Mills. They first met in the seventh grade and continued through school together. Both were very active in school sports and music activities and popular with their classmateshe was star pitcher of the baseball team and she was a cheerleader and homecoming queen. Soon after graduating from American Falls High School, they were married and relocated to Boise, where Mr. Ogle attended Boise College (pre-Boise State), majoring in music while Mrs. Ogle was employed with the local phone company. While living in Boise, their first daughter, Tanda, was born. Returning to southeast Idaho, Mr. Ogle went on to complete his bachelors and masters degrees at Idaho State University in Pocatello, serve as a teacher and school administrator for 10 years and then serve as personnel administrator for th American Potato Company in Blackfoot. He also served as lay leader and choir director at the Jason Lee Memorial Methodist Church. Mrs. Ogle, an active volunteer with the American Red Cross, Beta Sigma Phi and the Methodist Church, was a stay-at-home mom, caring for their 4 children, and then was later employed in banking. Upon arrival in Claremont, the family immediately joined and actively participated in the life of the United Methodist Church. Mr. Ogle has retired from sales and teaching; Mrs. Ogle from 20 years as the United Methodist Churchs secretary. These days they live quietly in Claremont, spending time with friends and their family, which now includes 4 outstanding and talented grandchildren and 2 adorable greatgrandchildren.

Library uses magic to inspire young bookworms
laremont kids may have turned in their textbooks, swearing off studies for a couple months of relaxation, but the Claremont Public Library has a summer agenda to encourage a bit of poolside academia.
As many as 100 young bookworms flooded the multi-purpose room last Wednesday afternoon as the local library kicked off its summer reading program with the promise of free prizes and a full schedule of programs through August 31. Giddy children with books in tow were invited to kickstart their reading with a little bit of funand a few furry friendsas magician John Abrams presented his Animal Magic Show to a packed crowd of youngsters. Making animals appear with the wave of a wand isnt the only trick up Mr. Abrams sleeve. The magician knows the benefit of mixing in a lesson plan along with his magic. They are learning without knowing it, Mr. Abrams insisted. All these bells and whistles are a great launching pad for all sorts of different concepts. He wasnt kidding. The kids could hardly contain themselves as Mr. Abrams led them in a chant of Im gonna check me out some books! and Reading is Delicious!, which happens to be the theme for this years reading program. Their enthusiastic responses were rewarded with a magically-appearing exotic pet, courtesy of their zany ringleader. With a mix of some jungle spices, Mr. Abrams conjured a furry white chinchilla to the oohs and aahs of the young onlookers. Chin, Mr. Abrams shouted pointing to his chin. Chill, chimed in the kids as they shimmied in mock frostiness. Ugh, Mr. Abrams finished, slouching

and putting on a face of pretend dumbfoundedness. Mr. Abrams has mastered the act of communicating fun facts in a way children can understand. The Los Angeles County performer, animal lover and father of 2 found a happy medium in combining his seemingly unrelated passions into one traveling gig, which often makes a stop at the Claremont Public Library. Pro-
grams involving animals are a fan favorite at the local library and always promise a strong crowd, noted childrens librarian Vee Elliott. Bringing in a few unusual critters for the reading program kickoff was a home run for kids and program coordinators alike.

It gives them exposure to things they normally wouldnt have the chance to see, Ms. Elliott said. Though the chinchilla and Ball Python drew the largest applause, 5-year-old Christopher Geiger insisted it was the tortoise that captured his fancy. He can swim and hide from sharks, Christopher explained. Older brother Nate, 7, an animal book aficionado, preferred the cuddly, quilled African pygmy hedgehog. Its so cute! he shared. Though they gravitated toward the cute and calm critters over the slithery python, both boys and their friends Nick Ramos, 5, and Kaitlin Ramos, 6, insisted they werent scared. Exotic animals or not, the Geiger boys and Ramos siblings have a full schedule of library outings planned for the summer months. Nate is eager to tackle the reading challenge given to him by Oakmont Principal Stacey Stewart, and perhaps the magic show will influence his first selection. The folks at the Claremont Library have plenty of other out-of-the-box programming to help inspire their participants book choices. This past week, kids had the opportunity to examine ocean specimens and touch live tidepool animals with Treasures at the Tidepool. On July 3, its all about Americas Music, inspiring tunes for the Fourth of July, and the critters are back on July 10 as the Lizard Wizard explores the world of reptiles (signups required). Tying into the theme Reading is Delicious, the July 17 program treats participants to delectable goodies while learning about the science behind the food they love, such as why popcorn pops and ice cream freezes. Less brain power is needed for the July

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF MICHAEL JOHN BREHENY Case No. BP142070 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of MICHAEL JOHN BREHENY A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by James B. Pennino in the Superior Court of California, County of LOS ANGELES. THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that James B. Pennino be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. THE PETITION requests the decedent's will and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-bate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representa-tive will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A HEARING on the petition will be held on July 8, 2013 at 8:30 AM in Dept. No. 9 located at 111 N. Hill St., Los Angeles, CA 90012. IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is avail-able from the court clerk.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 714-730-2727 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site www.lpsasap.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 20120015004378.

Mason is the best real estate agent in town! Through every step of the process he made us feel like prized clients. His dedicated nature and thorough understanding of the business made the home buying experience very exciting. He stood out as patient, knowledgeable of the area and someone who could truly partner with me and my husband to find the right home. We felt like he was on our side, playing hard ball when negotiating and in constant contact, keeping us updated. He has a stellar reputation and it's not hard to see why. He goes the extra mile for you, and I can't speak highly enough of him. My husband and I have an amazing agent for life, and we couldn't be happier! Thank you Mason!
