Silencing the opposition
Dear Editor: Thanks to the Supreme Courts decision in Citizens United vs. FEC, billionaires and corporations are flooding the airwaves with ads supporting or opposing candidates and ballot measures. They are trying to drown out opposing voices. Even before Citizens United, corporate interests outspent employee organizations 15-to-1. Since then, the imbalance is much higher. Even worse, theyre not satisfied with that. Now they are trying to silence the voice of their employees, so no competing views will be heard. In California, their attempt is on our November ballot; its called Proposition 32. It would obstruct employee organizations from collecting money from their members to use in political advertising, by making it illegal to withhold it from employee paychecks, even voluntarily. However, it exempts professional businesses: doctors, lawyers and hedge fund traders, for example. It also does nothing to obstruct corporations from using their stockholders money, or to prevent billionaires from secretly funneling their money through fronts with patriotic-sounding names. This is a blatant, undemocratic attack on free speech. It attempts to entrench a dictatorship of the moneyed interests. According to the Contra Costa Times: If Proposition 32 did what supporters claimlimit all special-interest money from corrupting the political systemwe would race to endorse it. It doesnt. It actually tilts the political playing field in favor of the wealthy and corporations. Californias voters have defeated similar attempts before: Proposition 226 in 1998 and Proposition 75 in 2005, but big money keeps trying to fool us. Dont be fooled. Proposition 32 must be defeated in order to preserve democracy and freedom of speech for all in California.

espite the past years bustle of activity surrounding the Wilderness Park parking lot construction, which finally began last August, activity has grown quiet in recent weeks as the city deals with an unanticipated mishap.
Wilderness Park lot construction remains in limbo

ciation, owners of the land where the new parking lot is being constructed, according to Brian Desatnik, director of community development. We were aware that the easement existed, however, we assumed that the property owner [Pomona Valley Protection Association] had received the necessary approval for the easement, Mr. Desatnik said. They are the ones that leased us the land to build the lot. The lease didnt say anything about being contingent on approval of the easement holder or anything like that, so we assumed that they had authority to go ahead and build. Though building has been temporarily stopped, the review process with the LACFCD is now underway, says Mr. Desatnik. We have been in communication, he said, adding that comments on the plan were received by the city last week. We are addressing and revising the [parking lot construction] plans to address their comments.
Last month, City Manager Tony Ramos announced an unexpected halt in construction after the city was contacted by a representative from the LA County Flood Control District (LACFCD). The representative claimed the district was unaware of the construction project, which included an easement over the property owned by the LACFCD. A permit from the LACFCD will be required for construction to continue. The unforeseen stoppage occurred due to miscommunication with the Pomona Valley Protection Asso-
Though a few adjustments are being made to construction plans, nothing significant will change, Mr. Desatnik said. Fixes include putting safety measures into place to protect the lots power source, if inundated with water or flooding. Other changes are relatively minor, he assured. The LACFCD is still in the process of reviewing the plans before issuing the city a building permit, according to city officials. Construction will not begin until the review is complete. An estimated completion date is still unknown to city officials. Mr. Desatnik maintains that there has been no financial impact as a result of the delay and added review process. He added that future costs associated with the review are not expected to arise. However, because of the delay, completion of the Wilderness lot is not expected until the end of 2012.

Claremont students, artist make public art a reality

group of Claremont students and a local distinguished artist are embracing the collaborative nature of public art through one of the areas latest community masterpieces, now on display in Pomona.
Its just a wonderful feeling to have it all come together, Ms. Wheeler said. I took many ceramics classes throughout high school and college so I know the problems that can happen. Its definitely challenging, but they did such a great job. The building where the artwork is now placed, owned by Ms. Wheeler and her family, needed a piece of public art, as designated by zoning requirements of the neighboring city of Pomona, according to Ms. Wheeler. With the help of her husband Paul, she decided to involve CHS students in the project.
An 8-by-8-foot collage made entirely of ceramic tiles proudly stands on the south side of a new business on Foothill Boulevard just west of Sumner Avenue. The artwork is a concept born from Claremont artist Maureen Wheeler, brought to life with the help of 5 Claremont High School art students. After nearly 6 months of work by Ms. Wheeler and members of Anne Mumpers advanced ceramics class, all involved in the art project watched as their hard work finally came together this week.
have a degree in art education so it was kind of close to my heart, Ms. Wheeler said of giving the CHS artists their first public art commission. I passed them the ball and they ran with it.
Ms. Mumper was more than eager to get her students out of their CHS studio and into the community to try out their artistic expertise. The practice and exposure has been invaluable, she says. To have real-life experience was just amazing for us because we are constantly just working in our little bubble of a classroom, Ms. Mumper said. To finally get something that will be a permanent fixture in the community and gives them a chance to show off what they know is really exciting. With participants nxious to get started, work began in May as soon as the students had submitted their Advanced Placement art portfolios, according to Ms. Mumper. Over the last 4 months, the students set to work on creating the more than 150 ceramic pieces that would become the installation.

Chancellor stresses urgency of community college crisis
alifornia has a growing population coupled with a high 10.6 percent unemployment rate. Clearly, this makes the states 112-school community college system more important than ever.
California has experienced the largest graduating high school classes in history the last couple of years, noted Erik Skinner, interim chancellor for California community colleges, during a recent teleconference for student journalists. Weve got workers who need to retool for the workforce, and vets returning from wars in Afghanistan and Iraq who need a place to land and make the adjustment back to civilian life, Mr. Skinner continued. All of these forces are coming together at the same time to drive up demand, he said. Unfortunately, cuts have undermined our ability to provide those services. The September 26 phone briefing on the financial status of the Golden States community colleges drew dozens of budding reporters and a few professional journalists. It took place the day before the California Community Colleges Board of Governors announced the selection of their new chancellor, Brice W. Harris, who formerly helmed the Los Rios Community College District in the Sacramento area. Mr. Skinner was joined by 2 other speakers, Dan Troy, vice chancellor for college finances and facilities, and Rich Copenhagen, president of the Student Senate for California Community Colleges. After they spoke, the 3 education advocates fielded questions from participating journalists, clarifying the complexities of the education crisis. The chancellors office is prohibited from taking an official stance on political candidates and legislation. Nonetheless, the message of its representatives was clear: With no other significant source of funding in sight, Proposition 30, Governor Jerry Browns tax initiative, may represent the last best hope for California community colleges. Proposition 30 would raise taxes on the wealthiest Californians, those making $250,000 or more, by 1 to 3 percentage points for the next 7 years. If the measure passes on the November ballot, all Californians will face a 4-year, quarter-cent hike in the state sales tax. It is projected that Proposition 30 would net a $3 billion annual increase in school funding, 89 percent of which would benefit K-12 schools and 11 percent of which would go to community colleges. Proposition 38, a competing tax initiative authored by civil rights attorney Molly Munger, also aims to raise money for public education, but has no provisions for the funding of community colleges. If both measures pass, the measure with the most votes will prevail. Mr. Skinner shared some grim statistics to empha-
size how badly the states community colleges need an influx of money. California community colleges have experienced a loss of $809 million in funding, 12 percent of the systems annual budget, since 2008-2009. With their collective belts tightened to the limit, community college districts have few mechanisms to cut costs besides reducing their workforce. Over the last few years, they have resorted to cutting non-tenured professors in droves, beginning with part-time and adjunct faculty. PROP 30 Countless classified staff members ELECTION 2012 have also been eliminated, reducing and in some cases eliminating support for students who are facing significant challenges or struggling financially. An example is the once state-of-the-art child development center at Citrus Collegethat provided essential childcare for students and professors and offered hands-on work study opportunities for child development majorswhich has been shuttered in the wake of recession-era budget cuts. As a result of the instructor lay-offs, the average community college now offers 24 percent fewer credit classes than it did in the 2008-2009 school year, according to a 2012 survey of California community colleges. The reduction in non-credit courses is 38 percent. Its really a crime, Mr. Skinner said. Other effects of the reduction in instructors include larger class sizes and graduation-delaying furloughs. Some 82 percent of schools that responded to the survey said they will not offer winter classes for the 2012-2013 school year. The waiting lists are longer than ever in California community collegesthe average college has a wait list totaling 7252 students. Weve reduced summer and winter sections by 50 percent, Mr. Skinner said. Students are having a really hard time getting into classes they need. The number of students attending California community colleges has dwindled along with the number of courses, the interim chancellor said. System-wide enrollment has declined by 485,000 students, a 17 percent reduction since 2008-2009 when community colleges reached a high-water mark of 2.89 million students. This mismatch between resources and demand is the most pressing public policy and social issue facing California today, said Mr. Skinner. It comes down to a fundamental question, he said: Are we going to provide access to the next generation for higher education? High stakes that will impact many If you think California community colleges have nothing left to lose, think again. Currently, the California community college system is operating on the assumption that Proposition 30 will pass. If the initiative is successful, community col-
leges will receive $210 million for the 2013 school year. Some of that money will go to paying deferments, money the colleges have had to borrow in order to keep running, according to Mr. Troy. Still, the states community colleges would be able to fund 20,000 additional seats for students relative to what was funded in the prior year. Wed be going in the right direction after years of cuts, he said. If Proposition 30 fails, community colleges will not only lose the $210 million, but will experience a devastating $338 million in mid-year trigger cuts. The full amount of the combined losses, nearly $550 million, represents 10 percent of the operating budget for the entire system. If Proposition 30 does fail, community colleges stand to lose about 180,000 students, Mr. Troy said. After all the hits weve taken in recent years, the state cant afford that kind of devastation. California is a state whose citizens have shown strong resistance to tax increases in recent years. With this in mind, a student reporter asked about the early indicators of voter sentiment towards Proposition 30 during the Q & A portion of the briefing. It was not clear which representative of the chancellors office answered, but the response was sobering. Weve seen a couple recent polls come out that show rather tepid support for the bill. The most recent numbers show public support at about 51 or 52 percent, down a bit from where we were earlier in the summer. The support, if anything, is dwindling among the electorate. It remains to be seen whether a stepped-up ad campaign can bring greater support to Proposition 30, the administrator noted. Its very important for colleges and the public to understand that the threat of these trigger cuts is very real. They can happen and, when you look at current polls, theres a good likelihood they could come. Mr. Troy apologized for the fact that the teleconference contained a lot of bad news. Despite our best efforts, theres nothing we can do to overcome the magnitude of the reductions we have faced. Mr. Copenhagen urged the students who participated in the briefing to advocate for the passage of Governor Browns initiative. My organization is the Student Center for California Community Colleges, he said. Coming into this year in spring, when Governor Brown announced he would be putting together the tax proposal that now is Proposition 30, we very quickly decided it was something we needed to support. Nobody can afford to have Proposition 30 not pass, he continued. Wed be losing the ability to train workers and losing the ability to raise well-educated citizens who can critically think.

School board to salute outgoing CEF president, assess district developments
utgoing Claremont Educational Foundation President Liz Weigand will be recognized at the next meeting of the Claremont Unified School District Board of Education, set for Thursday, October 4 at 6:30 p.m.
Another ceremonial item will be the appointment and swearing in of the
non-voting CUSD student board member from Claremont High School for the 2012-2013 school year. Other items on the agenda include a report from San Antonio High Schools student board member and an informational reCUSD port on the status of the NEWS Single School Plans for Student Achievement at Condit, Danbury and Mountain View Elementary Schools. Also on the agenda is a quarterly Report on William Uniform Complaints.
Attendees may expect to hear about the status of a report filed during the last school year alleging that mold and water damage was endangering Claremont High School students and staffers and that the complainant encountered a hostile atmosphere in the wake of filing his report. The school has made every effort to remediate any such facilities problems and denies that the whistleblower has been discriminated against, said Kevin Ward, CUSD assistant superintendent and compliance officer, in a previous interview.
The district will also be ratifying CUSDs choice to participate in a new pool for purchasing employee benefits, the California Schools Voluntary Employee Benefits Association. The change comes because the benefit trust CUSD has used for the past 20 years lost its economic competitiveness due to membership drop-out. The school board meeting will be held at the Richard S. Kirkendall Education Center, located at 170 W. San Jose Avenue in Claremont.

Taking it to, and doing it in, the streets

by John Pixley
he last time I saw Gerald Haynes, he could barely talk. It was difficult to hear and understand him, his voice scarcely above a hoarse whisper, as he lay in the hospice bed that had been brought into his room at a Claremont retirement home, all but too weak to lift his hands. But he shone.
He shone, as he had always shone, filling the room with light and love, even with death quickly approaching. I only knew Gerald for maybe the last decade of his 90-year-long life, and for most of that time, he used a walker to get around. But using a walker didnt keep him from shining. No. In fact, he used the walker to help him shine all the brighter, often having a poster advocating peace taped to its front and some flyers about an upcoming demonstration or ballot initiative in its rack to hand out. Gerald did the best he could with whatever energy he had. It was not easy for him to slow down in his work for peace. If he had his way, he would not have stopped going, as the founder of AIMS, to high schools and community colleges to provide alternative ideas for service, countering the military recruiters there. He would not have stopped working with the Alternatives to Violence Project, the Peace with Justice Center of the Pomona Valley or the Martin Luther King Project. Gerald delighted in doing this work and, later, when he could no longer do it, in seeing others do it. In recent months, I went to see him regularly as he sat in a reclining chair in his room, and he often shared passages from articles he had read about people working for peace or helping the less fortunate. He would smile and laugh, emotion spilling out and eyes twinkling, like a little boy discovering
observer
a new treat. He literally delighted in it. This delight and this light touched a lot of people. That much was clear at a memorial held 2 Saturdays ago at Claremont Place where Gerald lived. This was the second of 2 such servicesthe first was held the previous day in Whittier where he lived before moving to Claremontand it was filled to the rafters, literally, with an overflow crowd seated up on a balcony. Many of those attending were eager to share stories of Gerald and how his hands-on love and joy had impacted their lives and the world in which they live. I dont think that Gregory Toliver was at the memorial, but if he had been, I think he would have recognized a kindred soul in Gerald. Like Gerald Haynes was, Gregory Toliver, a leader in Occupy Claremont, is a hands-on man, going out into the streets and into the world, trying to bring light and love to make things better. As I have written about before, Mr. Toliver literally went out into the streets, living in front of City Hall for several months as part of Occupy Claremont, which began almost a year ago. Although no longer camping in front of city hall, having been ordered out, Mr. Toliver and the other Occupy Claremont activists are still very concerned about those who find themselves having to live in the streets in Claremont, and they continue to work hard to get the rest of us to be aware of and concerned for the homeless in our community. I was reminded of all this shortly before the me-
morial when I heard Mr. Toliver speak. He pointed out, again, that many of the homeless in Claremont have serious health issues, including mental illness. In addition, although they feel safe in Claremont (in contrast to a place like Pomona or Los Angeles), they dont trust us in our nice houses and feel that their very lives are illegal. It is often the case that they use alcohol and drugs, usually to self-medicate andfeeling that they are already illegal and shunned, if not abusedit is not surprising that, as Mr. Toliver explained, getting a ticket for such use is meaningless or a joke. He mentioned that when Phil Greene, a homeless man, died in front of city hall as he was spending a night at the Occupy Claremont campsite in January, he owed more than a thousand dollars in tickets for being drunk in public. These fines, which clearly couldnt be paid, were no doubt the furthest thing from Mr. Greenes mind. Im not sure if many of us would go as far as Mr. Toliver has in trying to reach out to and understand the homeless in Claremont, but perhaps we can see these people as fellow humans who need our help rather than to be banned and thrown away. And surely we can see that, as Gerald Haynes showed in his life, there are plenty of ways to get things done and do goodeven in a walker, even when one has to slow downto bring light and love into a sometimes dark world, a sometimes dark Claremont. As broadcast journalist and author (Who Stole the American Dream?) Hedrick Smith said when he appeared at the Atheneum at Claremont McKenna College during the same week, it is time that we stop thinking that theyWashington, DC, the government, the statewill act and that we get out and do what needs to be done ourselves.

Metro Gold Line extension needs to fit Claremont

by Ray and Barbara Fowler
e appreciate the many hours devoted by many people to the study of extending the Metro Gold Line trains between Azusa and Montclair along the early train lines that bisect the older core hearts of Glendora, San Dimas, north Pomona, La Verne and Claremont.
While many smaller safety and noise problems have been solved or somewhat moderated, the big picture needs analysis. Its convenience and profit for some will be a cost for others, and the stations will be a determining factor in the future appearance, values, crowding, noise, planning, tax costs and Village unity in this string of smaller foothill cities. We came from the recent meeting in La Verne wanting to evaluate these crucial proposals: 1. Gold Line trains run 10 trains per hour, all day and evening. These 10per- hour intersection stoppages will be added to the longer stoppages now required by current freight and Metrolink trains. All north/south intersections will be closed tightly, with a moderated signal noise as the protective arms descend (not as they rise), stopping cars safely on both sides. Anyone traveling in South Pasadena or other cities served by the Gold Line knows the north-south streets back up considerably, depending on the traffic and time of day, just for these briefer but more frequent closures. 2. For commuters, a massive 3-story parking structure will house 1000 commuters cars, stretching along the south side of First Street, east of College Avenue. These cars will arrive and leave the structure through the residential
streets daily, each morning and evening. Those who use Metrolink already use the outdoor tree-filled parking lot there; Gold Line commuters will be added. One thousand cars parked in one location affect all town traffic fundamentally. Concurrently, this historic core area and the state has new bike rights and rules, which neither bikers nor car drivers have learned or practiced. a. Main collector streets throughout this same section of Claremont are now striped for bicycle lanes, which reduced the number of automobile lanes on some streets. Which further residential and business streets will have to become collector streets? b. State law now changes speed limits on sections of streets according to speeds people actually drive (except by schools). Every time a street improvement is made, the city must retest and change the speed limit accordingly, normally raising it. How will adding 1000 cars a day to First Street, both from and through residential and business areas, speed up that process? c. Bicycles on all streets in the core area of town now have equal rights as cars to the main driving lanes (not just the bicycle lanes), regardless of the speed they travel or whether they have dogs on leashes, children on little trailers, are wearing helmets, or have bicycle lights or visible clothing at night. If you value life, please think about this seriously all these concerns are occurring already since the bicycle rules changed. 3. The plan also suggests a retail business building at the southeast corner of First and College, which is not related to the needs of people using the parking structure. With busy car, bicycle and pedestrian activity at The Colleges to the north and the CUC center to the east and with the dozens of small businesses
in Villages East and West needing customers rather than competition to thrivethis feels like questionable financial and safety planning, especially with Courier Place and Oakmont school so nearby. This currently stable residential neighborhood could become questionable with the unknown future traffic-causing businesses permitted by the mixed-used zoning.. The Colleges are largely residential not commuter, our businesses and institutions are encouraged to hire locally to the extent possible, and many incomes are going to stay lower for some time. So perhaps cooperation among these eastern Foothill cities to strengthen Metrolink for long commutes and build smaller, more functional local regional transportation to support their ownand each others tax-generating entities might be more productive economically than to build a multi-billion dollar continuation of a train expansion. The latter easily destroys the ambience and unique charm of older small-town centers while hoping (without proof) to attract tourists and while improving convenience for a minority of people going elsewhere.
VIEWPOINT
If anyone knows of professional studies or discussions, and large enough grants for, viable alternative suggestions to this Gold Line segment, we would appreciate your writing the COURIER about them before the Gold Line plans Meanwhile, all public comments received about the Metro Gold Line received by October 5this Fridaymust be considered before the EIR is completed. Plans have been much improved by those already giving input and perhaps more can be done for the long-term viability of our area and town. If nothing more, we ask that the parking structure be a creative, appropriate design rather than a big bulky industrial-shaped rectangle. LEEDS but historically designed would be something that could and should be done it should fit Claremont history, nature and College Avenue matching the setback and greenery to the structure on the west.

OBITUARIES
Doty Hale
Teacher, library director, book-lover
Doty Hale, a longtime Claremonter, died August 27, 2012 at Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center. She was 73. Ms. Hale was born on October 16, 1938 in Cincinnati, Ohio to Edward and Vera Doherty. When she was 3, the family moved to Buford, Georgia, where she was raised. In a 1987 Los Angeles Times profile highlighting her work at Claremont Graduate Schools George C. Stone Childrens Book Center, Ms. Hale talked about growing up in a southern town in the 50s. Life there revolved around churches, and hers was not a big churchgoing family. Athletics and music were also central local preoccupations, And I wasnt much good at those, either, Ms. Hale said. One day, when Ms. Hale was 6, she stumbled on another outlet. She was poring over a Bible alphabet book on the back porch of her house on Mareno Street when she realized with a thrill of sheer excitement that she could make sense of the words. In between Saturday night football and basketball games and summer days spent hanging around at the town pool, she developed into a serious reader. After graduating as valedictorian from Buford High School in 1956, Ms. Hale enrolled at Emory University in Atlanta, some 35 miles southwest of her hometown. It was there that she fell in love with Bill Hale who, as she shared in the Times profile, sat behind me in Bible class and kept murmuring blasphemous things. In 1960, the year before graduating from Emory, Ms. Hale didnt know what she wanted to do next, but she was adamant about what she didnt want to do. She didnt want to be married, didnt want to work and didnt want to go to grad school. Within 6 months of graduation, she had embarked on all 3 adventures. Having married Mr. Hale, she worked as a recorder for a psychiatrists group therapy sessions while pursing a PhD in English at Emory, where her husband was a medical student. novelone she was certain Dr. Hale had never heard: Defenestrating! The word, incidentally, means throwing a person or thing out of a window. Ms. Hale was chagrined when her husband used his grasp of Latin and Greek to decode the word. Almost. De-windowing! he answered. Ill give you half a point, Ms. Hale reluctantly conceded. Ms. Hale was not only bookish. She was also a keen traveler, heading to Europe at least a dozen times and trekking through the Middle East, Russia, the far east, Africa, Australia and South America. She prided herself on having seen firsthand exotic locales like Easter Island and the Galapagos Islands, and on having been to every continent except Antarctica. She had a special affection for the city of London. Though she was a busy working mother, Ms. Hale also found time to engage in local politics, participating in the League of Women Voters, championing womens rights and lending her support to the mayoral campaign of Judy Wright. She also found time to read prolifically, and passed on her love of books to her children. Were all big readers. There were books everywhere while we were growing up, her son Ned said. More books were added to the equation when, in 1987, the position of director for the Stone Library at CGU opened up. Malcolm Douglass, then chairman of the Stone Library Committee and a professor of education at CGU, immediately thought of his book-loving colleague. Ms. Hale, who had separated from her husband 3 years prior, took the job, welcoming the opportunity to immerse herself in the world of kids books and childrens literacy. She continued to teach and direct the Stone Library until her retirement in the mid-90s. She served as a mentor for many students and helped edit many academic papers, particularly those taking childrens literature as their subject. She so loved language and teaching and learning, her daughter Celia recalled. She often said that she felt in some ways teaching was an unequal relationship. She felt she got more from the students than she ever gave to them. In her final years, Ms. Hale faced some significant health struggles. Nonetheless, she continued to read passionately, particularly her beloved mysteries, and remained a lively conversationalist. My mother was always full of life, her daughter Celia said. My sister and I realized you could always find her. You just had to wait a moment, and you would hear her laughing. With her lifelong vitality in mind, her children decided not to hold a funeral service, instead planning a celebration in October near what would have been her 74th birthday. Ms. Hale is survived by her daughters and sons-in-law, Celia and Frits Paerels and Eileen Hale and Nick Morosoff; by her son and daughter-in-law, Ned and Tierney Hale, and by 7 grandchildren. A celebration of her life will be held Saturday, October 6 from 10 a.m. to noon at her home at 248 W. 7th St. in Claremont. Anyone who wishes to attend is welcome.

After he graduated in 1963, the Hales spent the next 4 years leading a peripatetic lifestyle, following Dr. Hales internships and residency assignments to Salt Lake City, Tulare, Baltimore, Downey and Pasadena. I was young enough to enjoy that kind of life, Ms. Hale told the Times, adding that she spent the time having babies and getting ready to move again. In 1969, Ms. Hale completed her dissertation on British novelist Arnold Bennett and the Hales moved to Claremont with their daughters Celia and Eileen and son Ned in tow. She was to live in the same house on Seventh Street for the next 42 years. Dr. Hale began practicing orthopedic surgery in Pomona while Ms. Hale taught as an English professor at Cal State Los Angeles and as a professor of education at Claremont Graduate University. Theirs was an exceptionally academic household, Ms. Hales daughter Celia shared. Sometimes her mother would challenge her father to a vocabulary game, with each trying to one-up the others knowledge of the English language. On one occasion, she recalls her mother throwing down the gauntlet with a word she had gleaned from a mystery

COURIERphotos/Steven Felschundneff Workers with Interior Concepts Andres Ruiz, left, Ricardo Ruiz and Miguel Gutierrez prepare to place the installations first tile on Tuesday in Pomona. The company was hired because they specialize in ceramic tile work.
The ceramic art piece designed by Maureen Wheeler is an impressionistic scene of several athletes playing their respective sports, including the tennis player being assembled here.
COLLABORATIVE MURAL continued from page 4
t included a lot of firsts for us, Ms. Mumper said, admitting that it was the first time she and the students had worked together on a large-scale assemblage of that kind. Our first mural and its going on display!
With their classroom work usually focused on sculpting, it was a welcome but admittedly challenging venture for the advanced ceramics students. It was tough, interpreting the key and making sure all the pieces fit together, said senior Isabella Mendoza. We had to remake one piece like 3 times, added senior Julian To. But the students were up for the task, however difficult. Equipped with a large Xerox of Ms. Wheelers painting, the students were tasked with breaking up the drawing into more manageable pieces no larger than 18 inches, numbering all the parts. Once numbered and cut to their satisfaction, the students dissected the Xerox with exacto knives and rolled out the clay to begin making the ceramic pieces. Ceramics is a hard thing on deadline, Ms. Mumper noted. Its a long process. From the time you roll something out, dry it, then fire it, glaze it and fire it again, its been a month or at least 2 weeks. Despite the tediousness of the project, it wasnt all work, said Julian and Isabella, who enjoyed applying some of the techniques like glazing.
It was cool seeing how the colors turned out, Julian said. Many coats of glaze later, not to mention a few mishaps along the way, the work was complete. Seeing the finished product pieced together like a jigsaw on the floor prior to placement was an exciting moment for teacher and students alike. It was the first time wed seen it together, ever, Ms. Mumper said. There was a lot of worry that pieces werent going to fit back together, or that there were lost pieces or that the colors werent going to work. To finally see it working together was quite satisfying. With their first public art project now under their belts, Ms. Mumper hopes to create more such pieces for the community to enjoy, with help from her hardworking art students. Tentative plans include fixtures around campus and in the CHS garden space. For now, they are just basking in their current achievement. We were all nervous about how it would turn out in the beginning but, as we were working together, we helped each other through it, said senior Garrett Shipway. It all came together.

ATRIGHT: CHS students Julian To and Isabella Mendoza consult a diagram to help properly assemble their 8-foot-by-8-foot ceramic collage on Tuesday at the future Big 5 sporting goods store in Pomona. The students got the day off from classwork to help place the sports-themed mural on the front of the new building on Foothill Boulevard.

Come and see their new work.
TED Talks visits the Colleges
he world-renowned lecture series TED Talks (Technology, Entertainment, Design) held an independent event at the Garrison Theater at Scripps College last Saturday. The events theme was Transforming Expectations, featuring a wide array of experts on topics such as positive psychology, time budgeting, primary education and corporate management.
Get tips and tools for effectively communicating with your health professional
Most patients leave the doctors office retaining only about 20 percent of what is discussed. Join others in the community on Saturday, October 6 from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., to learn how to get the most out of a medical visit for you, a friend or loved one. The workshop takes place at Pilgrim Place, 660 Avery Rd. Attorney Donna Ambrogi, nurse Linda Vogel, and social worker Janet Evans will present tips and tools for communicating with your health professional. This workshop is for patients, family members and caregivers. Fee of $10includes refreshments, lunch and take-home materials. For more information or to register, call Pilgrim Place at447-0200.
Highlighting the event was a young woman responsible for the coordination of a debate program in east Africa, and a young man who walked from the east coast to San Francisco in approximately 7 months. The format comprised 15 live speakers and 4 videos of past speakers spread out over the day, lasting 15 minutes each. The audience left the theater with mental tools designed to improve their own lives and those of others, as well as an expanded network of friends and colleagues. While each speaker gave insight on a different aspect of mental management, 3 in particular stood out because of their extensive experience in the field. Roko Belic has been studying happiness for years, and recently released a documentary called HAPPY. As a filmmaker, he traveled to Okinawa, an island in Japan famous for being a place where extraordinary people are raised. Mr. Belic spoke of how he witnessed grandmothers congratulating children during a race. When he asked which one her grandchild was, her reply was that none of the children were hers, she
loves to spread encouragement. The part in your brain that gives you happiness will literally grow if you practice compassion, Mr. Belic said. If we give even the smallest part of each day to help others, we will become happier people ourselves, he noted. Aaron Donaghy is a primary educator and teacher. In 2008 he founded a youth leadership program called GO. Mr. Donaghy compared todays education system to playing the board game Life, where a person can choose the career/money-making path, or the education/life fulfillment path. Having chosen the fulfillment path, he postulates that children are categorized based on test scores at an early age. They are told where their skills lie, and what they are likely to do later on in life as a job. This is detrimental to some children, who may have skills that transcend standardized tests but are never recognized for them. GO gives children the opportunity to develop practical skill sets to change the world. Anyone can lead, Mr. Donaghy says, and recently his children have, for example, raising money and builing education buildings in Tanzania and Haiti. David Allen is the founder of the Getting Things Done methodology, and is an inspiring figure in the field of time management. Mr. Allen is adamant that we, as busy individuals, do not need more time in the day; we need more psychic bandwidth. We must define our work and get comfortable with paradoxes. Allen emphasizes flexibility in our work, and not perfection. TED talks take place often, in cities all over the world. The next event will take place Wednesday, October 10 in Costa Mesa, and its theme is Redefining Relevance. Chris Oakley

From the city managers report

New restaurant planned for Promenade Shopping Center Rounds Premium Burgers recently received approval for a Conditional Use Permit from the Claremont Planning Commission to serve alcohol at their proposed location (885 S. Indian Hill Blvd. across from Norms), which is within the Claremont Promenade shopping center. The tenant space has remained vacant since approximately 2008 when Hollywood Video closed. City staff is in the process of working with the business owners to obtain the necessary building permits for the conversion of the space into a restaurant. Rounds Premium Burgers offers a build your own burger concept with fresh toppings and various sauces. The restaurant currently has 2 locations, one in West Hollywood and another in Burbank. No timeline was given as to its expected opening. Arbor Day celebration In celebration of Arbor Day, the city
invites residents to plant a tree at 10 a.m. this Saturday, October 6 at Padua Avenue Park, 4200 Padua Ave. This event is free and open to the community. For more information, call 3995490. Decorations and attachments prohibited in city trees With the approach of fall and winter holiday decorations and celebrations, the citys community improvement department reminds residents to refrain from attaching any decorations, ornaments or lights to city trees. Decorations or attachments could cause harm to the tree or create a potential obstruction or safety hazard, as city trees are often near public streets, sidewalks and parkways. For questions or more information regarding the protection of city trees under Claremont Municipal Code Section 12.26.090, contact community improvement at 399-5467, or review the code in its entirety on the citys website at www.ci.claremont.ca.us under the city government/municipal code link.
