dangerous as it was before the light was installed. I live west of Indian Hill and use the crossing frequently, at least 4 times every week as a pedestrian, and many more as a cyclist or driver. Each time I have used it as a pedestrian, going from west to east on the north crosswalk, I have seen pedestrians get confused about when they have the right-of-way and step out into traffic. When the green arrow/light illuminates along with the walk sign for those crossing on the south crosswalk, most pedestrians using the north crosswalk step out into the street, probably thinking that the light did not respond to their request for a walk signal. At that point, drivers turning left to go north on Indian Hill have the right-ofway and have to stop for pedestrians who have begun crossing, even though the pedestrians walk sign is not illuminated yet. Its natural for pedestrians to think they should have the right-of-way to walk since, at that point, the walk signal for pedestrians using the south crosswalk is illuminated. Look, guys: the signal at 8th and Indian Hill is perfectly fine. Its simple. We really dont need special left-hand turn lights at 10th Street any more than they are needed at 8th Street.
A pedestrian is going to get hit by a car because the majority of their experience tells them that pedestrians crossing in the same direction, i.e. east/west or west/east, cross at the same time. Please! Either simplify the signal so its like the signal at 8th Street or do as they do in San Francisco and stop all traffic in all directions so that all pedestrians cross in all directions at the same time. Please do it for those of us who actually use this intersection.

olice on Wednesday afternoon arrested a 17-year-old Claremont resident who broke into a home on Morningside Drive earlier that morning. Criminal charges of residential burglary and assault with intent to commit sexual battery have been filed against the juvenile, who was found inside the bedroom of a 7-yearold girl.
At approximately 2:15 a.m. Wednesday, a male resident awoke to the sound of noises in his house. The resident got up to investigate and found an unknown subject inside the bedroom of his 7-year-old daughter. The suspect was kneeling in the room trying to quiet a barking dog, Claremont Police Lieutenant Shelly Vander Veen said. Upon seeing the suspect, the homeowner chased the teenager from the home.
He was last seen running eastbound on Morningside Drive. The suspect initially gained access to the onestory home by forcing open a front kitchen window. He was described to police as light skinned, 5 feet 6 inches tall, 145 pounds, wearing black clothing and a black mask over his eyes. The resident immediately called police after the suspect fled the area. Police conducted an area check for the suspect, but were unable to locate him. After reviewing forensic evidence left at the scene, police were able to track down the suspect later in the day. At 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, the 17-year-old was arrested at his home on suspicion of burglary. A search of his room turned up additional evidence linking him to the crime scene, Lt. Vander Veen said. According to police records, the suspect lives on Whittier Avenue, less than a mile from the Morningside Drive home where the incident took place. On Friday morning, the District Attorneys Office of Los Angeles County filed 3 felony criminal counts
against the teenager of residential burglary, one count of assault with intent to commit sexual battery and one count of lewd or lascivious acts with a minor. Claremont Police Lieutenant Dennis Smith said that due to the seriousness of the crime, the District Attorneys Office is prosecuting him as an adult. Based on the statements we obtained, we believe he has been at the house on more than one occasion and has never stolen any property from the house that we are aware of, Lt. Vander Veen said. We are currently conducting further investigation to determine his purpose for entering the house. In interviews with police, the juvenile admitted being inside the home, Lt. Vander Veen said. Police officials would not go into further detail about the nature of the break-in, citing an ongoing investigation. The juvenile is currently being held without bail at Los Padrinos Juvenile Detention Center.

Claremont High School football star was given a 6-month prison sentence on Wednesday morning for having unlawful sex with 2 underage classmates.
Tyler Singleton, 18, will begin his sentence on June 9, allowing him time to complete his high school education. He no longer attends Claremont High School. The Pomona resident was arrested in February following allegations he raped a 14-year-old classmate in a public bathroom in Cahuilla Park near the high school. At the time, Mr. Singleton admitted during an interview with police to having sex with the girl, but claimed it was consensual. Later another 15-year-old classmate came forward to accuse Mr. Singleton of an inappropriate sexual relationship. Based on evidence provided by police, prosecutors in March filed one felony and one misdemeanor count of statutory rape against Mr. Singleton. He pleaded no contest to the charges last month.
During the sentencing hearing, Mr. Singletons mother Rita Singleton addressed the court, saying her son leads a positive and productive life. He has volunteered at nursing homes and has done other community service and is active in his church, she said. This incident has caused him and the family much pain and suffering and the punishment you are seeking for him is not commensurate with the overall circumstances, Ms. Singleton said. Prosecutor Lauren Guber read a statement from the 14-year-old victim in the case. This young man Tyler Singleton took something from me, something I cannot get back. As a result of what he has done to me, my entire world has been turned upside down. I had to change schools and lose every single one of my friends, teachers, coaches and mentors. The victims mother also addressed the court, urging Commission Wade Olson to give Mr. Singleton the maximum sentence. [My daughter has] paid a hefty price for doing the right thing, but shes encouraged by the fact that hopefully nobody else will have to go through this night-
mare. She knows that Claremont High School is a safer place because Tyler is no longer there. Tyler is a predator of the worst kind. He has no problem taking advantage of the young and vulnerable, she added. Mr. Singleton declined to give a statement during the hearing. After the hearing, the victims mother claimed there were more victims out there and said Mr. Singleton and his friends tried to intimidate her daughter not to come forward. She said the 2 were never in a dating relationship when the incident happened. I dont think justice was served today, the woman said. He should have been charged with forceable rape. Mr. Singleton, a senior, had been the starting running back for the Claremont High School football team since his sophomore year. He transferred to CHS midway through his freshman year. He was the leading rusher in the Baseline League during the 2008-09 season and was named to the AllBaseline League the past 2 seasons.

Friday, April 30 A woman with her 2 small children was arrested for public intoxication in the Claremont Village. A witness called police to report that a drunk woman was causing a disturbance at Pizza N Such at 273 W. Second Street. The witness was concerned because the mother was not keeping an eye on her 2 children and one of them almost ran into the street. When police arrived, they located the woman outside of the restaurant. She told police shed had 6 beers. As police were talking to the woman, she attempted to walk away, leaving her children behind. The officer stopped her and she walked away again, swearing at the cop and extending her middle finger. The officer then grabbed the womans wrist and she struggled to get away, screaming and kicking at him. The officer was forced to wrestle her to the ground to get her in handcuffs. Sarah Dillon, 41, of Claremont was arrested on charges of public intoxication, child endangerment and resisting arrest.
Her husband was called and picked up the couples 2-year-old and 6-year-old children. *** Two homes were burglarized on the 1500 block of Wells Avenue. Sometime between 5 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., a burglar entered the homes by removing screens from unlocked windows. The homes were ransacked and property was stolen. The homeowner of one of the homes was out of town and a relative was called over to secure the home. Police have no suspect information at this time. Tuesday, May 4 A Riverside man was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol and a controlled substance. Around 11:50 p.m., police pulled over a vehicle for speeding near Foothill and Indian Hill Boulevards. The officer determined the driver, 35year-old Joseph Silva, was under the influence and he was arrested. He was booked and later released on a citation.

Man arrested after videotaping women
On Wednesday May 5, a man videotaping women at Honnold Library was arrested. A witness noticed the man was following women around the library and acting suspiciously. The witness notified campus safety officers who detained the man and called police. Around 2:30 p.m., police arrived and arrested the man. Police say he was using his cellular phone to record video images of womens underwear from under their skirts. He committed the crime by walking behind the women or holding his phone under desks while sitting next to them. A student at the library noticed his odd behavior, Claremont Police Lieutenant Shelly Vander Veen said. It didnt appear he was there to study. He was following women around and appeared to be using his phone in a suspicious way. The student was wise enough to contact campus safety. Guillermo Gonzalez, 19, of Pomona was arrested on charges of lewd act using a recording device. He told police he was at the library to use the Internet. His LG mobile phone was confiscated by police so that they could download the evidence for processing. After booking, Mr. Gonzalez was released on a citation. Police say he has no affiliation with the Claremont Colleges and his listed profession is a construction worker. Police are still attempting to identify some of the female victims, Lt. Vander Veen said.
haparral Elementary School teacher Marilyn Chadwick and Claremont Faculty Association (CFA) bargaining chair Joe Tonan believe the Claremont Unified School District has shown a lack of respect for its teachers.
Both Ms. Chadwick and Mr. Tonan voiced their concerns to the CUSD board at Thursdays board meeting when they touched on the latest negotiations between the district and CFA. The disrespect and unprofessionalism the district has shown its teachers is very, very sad, Ms. Chadwick said. Claremont teachers are exceptional teachers. The portrayal of the administration [of teachers being] selfish and not

team players is untrue. You as the board need to put a stop to this degrading communication. Ms. Chadwick went on to say that teachers support the district every day by doing their jobs effectively. She also suggested the district use reserves in order to help retain teachers. Mr. Tonan said the lack of respect stems back to an incident involving School Services of California Inc. CEO Ron Bennett. Hired as a mediator for the
district and CFA last summer, Mr. Tonan discovered the districts intention of using Mr. Bennett as a member of its negotiating team at the March 10th negotiations meeting. The incident caused tension between the groups, as the district had not informed the union about its plan to add Mr. Bennett. Before the board could vote to approve Mr. Bennetts addition to the CUSD negotiations team, Superintendent Terry Nichols announced the dis-
tricts decision to end its contract with Mr. Bennett. According to Mr. Tonan, the move was a step in the right direction for negotiations to resume but other obstacles have appeared since March. When the parcel tax was being contemplated, I asked to be on that team so that we could get help from the teachers on that, Mr. Tonan said. A questionnaire went out that was supposed to have been read by everybody on the team. I never received a copy of that. There were things that I totally objected to that were on that [questionnaire]. But I was never given a chance to look at that before it was sent out. The CFA bargaining chair also pointed out that the districts attorney has been a cause for failed negotiations between both sides. Weve asked for respect at the table and not being laughed at the table weve had that happen to us, Mr. Tonan said. Weve asked that theres not talking over the top of peopleI had to call caucuses to put a stop to it. It needs to stop and we need to get back to a place of stability. And with the attorney whos there now, there is very little chance of that happening. Superintendent Nichols announced the districts decision to declare an impasse after negotiations took place on April 15th. The district plans to obtain a mediator through the Public Employee Relations Board to continue negotiations. It is our hope that the state mediator can assist in determining a resolution and provide some equitable solution that saves jobs in the district and allows the district to balance the budget, the CUSD superintendent said after making the announcement. At Thursdays meeting, Superintendent Nichols declared his respect for teachers during his report and emphasized keeping students as the highest priority. Its not about a respect for jobsIve said this many times that the most difficult job is teaching, he said. Youre on your feet, youre working mentally and physically the entire day and what you do is difficult but you have a passion for kids. Ms. Chadwick believes students benefit the most when the district does what is best for teachers as well. Support for the teachers means support for the children of Claremont Unified School District, she said. CHS teacher honored as teacher of the year laremont High School German teacher Carolyn Spanier became the first CHS teacher to win the CUSD Teacher of the Year award in 5 years on Thursday night. Ms. Spanier received the award in the presence of her peers amidst roaring applause and was humbled by the recognition. She thanked people throughout the district after accepting her certificate.

ith the end of the current school year rapidly approaching and with district provided summer school for kindergarten through 8th grade canceled this summer, organizations such as the Claremont Educational Foundation (CEF) and Project Think are trying to help bridge the gap.
CEFs Slice of Summer and Project Thinks Summer Program for Academically Motivated Students are 2 educational options available for parents who desire to provide their children with enrichment experiences during the summer. We feel bad that students who need remedial services wont have that as an option for the summer, said CEF member Jessica Marchant. The districts are in extreme financial difficulty and what were trying to do is offer a program that will not be remedial but will meet kids at any level of academic achievement. Project Think promotes itself as a program for every child. The organization is currently in its 30th year of providing summer enrichment for kids from kindergarten through junior high school. We believe that all children are gifted, said Project Think co-founder Susan Warren. All children deserve to have a great educational experience. We get children who havent had good experiences at school and after they go through the program, parents tell us that we have given their children a love for learning. Program fees cover teacher salaries Both CEF and Project Thinks programs come with at least a $200 price tag per session and can cost as much as $1200 depending on the number or length of courses. A large portion of the fees is used to pay instructors. Both organizations recognize concerns regarding af-
very year, around Mothers Day, the non-profit organization Get on the Bus gives children from California the chance to visit their mothers in prison. Get on the Bus offers free transportation for the children and their accompanying caregivers to the Central California Womens Facility in Chowchilla, California. Based in West Hollywood, Get on the Bus has chapters all over California and is expanding to other states and countries in the near future. The Claremont chapter, located at Scripps College, is headed by Elizabeth DeGori. This year, the bus was scheduled to leave for the womens facility yesterday morning at 3 a.m. and should have arrived to the facility at 8 a.m. today. Along the way, the children will receive travel bags filled with crayons, coloring books and other toys, a blanket for the 5-hour bus ride and breakfast. Once the bus reaches the facility, the 4-hour visitation begins with a provided lunch, board games and time to sit and talk.

By the end of the trip, which is around 9 p.m., the children will receive a letter from their parent, a teddy bear and post-event counseling. The Claremont chapter was initiated by from Ms. DeGori, who after serving as an intern at the West Hollywood office, wanted to do more with the program In addition to visiting the Chowchilla facility, the Claremont chapter also volunteers at Cultivating Dreams, an organic garden located at the California Institution for Women in Southern California. Each bus trip, which holds up to 30 kids, cost nearly $4000. Nearly half of the money comes from fundraisers like Donut for Donations during which more than 30 volunteers visit all 45 dorms scattered across the Pomona Colleges campus and sell $1 donuts to sugar deprived studying students. In addition to the fundraising, other organizations, such as the Women and Criminal Justice Network donate funds. To apply, inmates at the facility fill out an application requesting that their child visit them. Get on the
Bus administrators then determine which kids be afforded a visit. Claremont chapter organizer Ms. DeGori said that the mother-chid reunions can be life-changing to families, particularly the children. Most of these children only get to see their mother once a year. The parents are also thrilled to see their children. Most of them plan their year around this one event, she said. For more information, visit GetontheBus.us.

walk most weekday mornings with my friend, Helen. If we didnt do this we would become wooden and unable to move. We walk, we talk, we plan and sometimes we commiserate with each others woes. We are well matched companions and we need each other to keep at the walking. We have done this for many years.
Often, as we have walked on the college grounds we pass the dining halls where we smell the breakfast smells and think about food. A few weeks ago we made concrete plans to try all of the college dining halls for 6 days and find out what it was like to eat ones meals like college students, how the dining halls differed from one another in food choice and preparation, what the atmosphere was like, how the food was served and what the students seemed to choose. It turned out to be an interesting experience. Pomona has two dining halls, Frary and Frank. Pitzers is McConnell. CMCs is Collins, Scripps has Malott Commons, and Harvey Mudds is Hoch/Shanahan. I was surprised to see that there were far fewer students eating at the different breakfast hours that we attended than I have observed during lunch time when the dining rooms were quite full. We noticed that most students seemed to study in the morning as they ate. Breakfast offerings are much more limited than at other meals and many of the stands are empty. There was always a variety of eggs on offer ready made and sitting under heating lamps at all of the dining halls. Scripps was the only one to offer ready made scrambled egg whites but a few of the others used egg whites when they made omelets to order if one wanted. I did. Some had sausages or bacon under the lamps and two offered vegan patties as well. At one there was a tofu scramble and Scripps offered cheese and chips. Harvey Mudd offered small burritos. Mudd had a very popular section where someone made smoothies to order and the line was always long. I had one and it was quite good and fresh. At McConnell there was an area with blenders and one could make their own smoothies. Frary and Frank had the smoothies ready made and lined up with their own special uniforms labeled, vegan, with yogurt, and with soy milk. Hot cereals were always available. Some schools had one choice others had two. One was always oatmeal but Scripps offered grits. Some had potatoes. The most popular potato dish was tater tots and one student told me he comes to one specific dining hall as the tater tots are the crispiest. I agreed. There was always a selection of breads, bagels and English muffins with a variety of styles of toasters. The ones with the revolving toaster required one to stand there and put the toast back on until it was nice and brown. I did a lot of tossing my bagel on over and over. There were always pastries on offer but Harvey Mudd had the biggest variety. Many provided waffle irons and batter, which I tried, but mine was doughy and I couldnt eat it. Often the waffle irons were far away from the serving area. There was always an area full of dry cereals as well as an abundance of fresh and canned fruits such as melons, berries, pineapple and canned peaches or pears and bowls of apples, oranges and bananas. Machines dispensed juices but at one I got to squeeze my own orange juice. There was always a block of machines where one could get all sorts of teas, coffees, milks and juices but what was available varied from school to school. All the rooms were bright and airy, most of them having large blocks of windows letting in lots of light. Frary is the oldest and is in the Spanish Style with a huge Mexican period mural at one end. Students have meal cards and can use them to eat at whatever campus
they choose. Some told me they know what is being served where and when and choose by the menu. Another student told me he could use his card at a campus cafe for a hamburger meal instead of going to the dining hall. I liked knowing that there was this kind of flexibility. There are no trays on offer any longer. Dining personnel told us that there was just too much waste when the students used them and then extra water was needed to clean them. We spent a lot of time balancing plates or piling up food. Students pay a small fee at the beginning of the semester for a reusable green box which they can fill to take out their food. When they return it to a bin they can get another for the next meal. There are signs announcing that leftover food is donated to homeless centers and womens centers. The food is picked up daily. I think that is great. There are also maps showing the farms where the food comes from. When I went into the bathroom at Harvey Mudd I saw signs in every cubicle telling how to help a friend with an eating disorder and 5 ways to love your body. Number five was eat when you are hungry. I need to remember that. I found the use of the lists compelling and interesting. We were impressed that there were offerings for vegans and vegetarians and for those who didnt wish to eat whole eggs. Most offered milks for the lactose intolerant as well as non dairy choices. There was also a posted sign for people who had food allergies. There was always a great selection of condiments, yogurts, jams, toppings etc. I usually eat one thing for breakfast. Faced with so much food I took and ate much more than I really needed or even wanted, but it was there and I wanted to try it all. Six days of this eating was way more than I could happily deal with. We dragged in on the sixth day already feeling overloaded before we even began. We also took less that day. There were too many starches for my aging body and no green food. Helen said she had gained a pound at the end of the week. I didnt even bother to weigh myself. Now when we smell the smells and sniff the air next to the dining halls we have a good idea what goes on inside. Things are certainly better than my days at University dining halls.
Alice F. Baker
Claremont resident Alice F. Baker died on May 3, 2010 at Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center at the age of 91. She was born on May 17, 1918 at the Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara and shares a birthday with her only granddaughter, Valerie Palmer, who has followed in her footsteps as an educator. Following graduation from Santa Barbara High School, Ms. Baker earned a teaching credential from Santa Barbara State University (now the University of California, Santa Barbara). At the university, she was a member of the Delta Zeta Delta sorority. For 25 years, she taught elementary school, primarily as a fourth grade teacher at Chaparral Elementary School in the Claremont Unified School District. Ms. Baker loved gardening and introduced this joy to her students. She always had a garden outside her classroom where the students tended the plants and ate the vegetables they raised. At her Claremont home, she tended a beautiful garden in her large backyard, and her husband of 27 years, Bob Baker, continues to add to its splendor. In 1963, she was preceded in death by her first husband, Walter Hugh Kupfer. A petite, red haired lady, Ms. Baker was known for her bubbly personality and zest for life.
She was always interested in what was going on in your life, said her daughter, Judy Stephens, who also followed Ms. Baker into the education field. Ms. Baker loved to travel and took numerous trips with her daughter and, at times, her granddaughter joined the adventures. When her daughter was young, annual summer camping trips to Kings Canyon National Park with her immediate family and her sisters family brought great joy to everyone. These are such wonderful memories of my mother, said Ms. Bakers daughter.

Roderick L. MacDonald
environmental activist, marathon runner, gardener

he Pacific League has a familiar boys volleyball league championship after Tuesday nights match at Claremont High School.
Taking advantage of Crescenta Valleys mistakes that resulted in 14 bad serves and a flurry of hitting errors, Claremont made short work of the Falcons in 3 straight games (25-12, 25-17, 25-16) to capture its 5th consecutive Pacific League crown in its final home match of the regular season. Honestly, its unreal because Geoff [Powell] and I came in with no experience and to have done something like this is amazing, said Patrick Stalwick, who finished with 6 kills. Powell led all Wolfpack players with 11 kills while

Patrick Stalwick ducks under a sea of supports before the start of the CHS boys volleyball match against Crescenta Valley on Tuesday. Claremont went on to win easily in straight sets.
Steven Kirkpatrick dished out 23 assists. Claremont set the tone early in the first game by scoring 8 straight points and never looked back in winning the first frame. The Falcons were more competitive in the last 2 games but never led by more than 2 points. The final point in the match was scored when Crescenta Valleys server tripped after tossing the ball in the air and was unable to complete the serve. CHS received a standing ovation from the home crowd when the match ended. Our team chemistry is the biggest part of our success because theres no arguments between uswere all just one family, Powell said. We rely on each other and if one of us misses a play, then well make sure to get the next ball. With Thursdays loss to Burbank Burroughs in 4 games, the Pack finishes the 2010 Pacific League schedule with a 9-1 league record. Claremont almost swept every league match it won this season with the exception of its March 31st encounter at Arcadia. CHS won the match in 4 games. Yet CHS has a bigger goal in mind than league titles
the CIF Southern Section championship. The Wolfpack will find out the identity of its first round opponent after the pairings are announced on Sunday. The past 2 years, weve been doing to the quarterfinals and last year, just one point separated us from the semifinals, Powell said. Weve come to the point where were expected to at least go to the quarterfinals but we are hoping to go all the way this year. Claremont head coach Bernie Wendling seconds Powells desire to see the Wolfpack advance past the quarterfinals in the playoffs. He said the team has improved in blocks throughout the season and will need to cut down on service errors in order to play against tougher playoff competition. We understand that there is another level to get to, Coach Wendling said. Its doable and we just need to be diligent and focused in the playoffs. The thing that makes this fun is that they are a great group of guys. Theyre great on the court but also are good people off the court. And thats what makes me want to see how far they will go [in the playoffs]. Landus Rigsby
