Not a typical SundayDear Editor:

When I woke up, I had no idea I wouldbe going to a concert. Most Sundays areboring for me, but this day I was excitedbecause my mom told me I would beable to attend a concert in Claremont.

As a musician who plays the cello, Ienjoy watching others perform and there-fore, I was excited to hear the ClaremontYoung Musicians Orchestra. When I ar-rived, I was overwhelmed by the beautyof Bridges Hall and shocked to see theintricate and ornate organs on the wall.

While walking to my seat, I also no-ticed that the orchestra appeared to besmaller than most orchestras and con-sisted of violins, some cellos, a few vio-las, a harp and other instruments that myschool band uses. After observing the or-chestra, I now was excited to hear themplay because I haven’t been to a concertin a while. Finally, after much anticipa-tion, the orchestra started playing.

The first song they began to executewas “Overture to “Nabucco,” and it wasplayed in a very loud manner and in-cluded contrasts that made the song cometo life. Although it was rather loud, I thor-oughly enjoyed the song because the mu-sicians played with a great amount ofenthusiasm. The songs to follow this onewere enjoyable to me because I felt thatthe orchestra took their performance seri-ously by playing as a cohesive ensemble.

I have never been to a concert where Ihave felt part of the orchestra and I haveto say that being in Bridges Hall with thebeautiful organs and scenery surroundingme made this a concert I will never for-get. Kayley Toyama

Punishment for whistle-blowingDear Editor:

I have read the article in a recentCOURIER based on visions by the Super-intendent of Claremont Unified SchoolDistrict relative to a long-employedteacher at Claremont High School.

The teacher cited has taught for manyyears at the high school and has beenconsidered by his students as a successfulteacher.

Not particularly mentioned in the arti-cle was the danger to students caused bythe failure of CHS to maintain facilities,namely mold in the walls. I have alsoheard that CHS allows the use of grasskiller on campus, which is dangerous tothe health of the students.

The teacher involved followed estab-lished procedures in reporting the danger-ous deficiencies that could directly affectthe health of students. There have beenfew, if any, letters from parents thankingthe school teacher. In return for attempt-ing to save students, he was subjected toa hostile working environment andthreated with expulsion for speaking up.

In the whistle-blowing arena, it has

been said that the person who reports thebreaking of the law gets punishment, andthe person who breaks the law gets ameritorious award.

In the statement written by the superin-tendent, he felt it necessary to publiclychastise the teacher, which illustrates hisbias with the situation. Everything hesaid was contradicted by the police.

Hopefully, justice can prevail for theteacher involved. Maurice Carter

Protect our open spaceDear Editor:

Open spaces are especially valuable toresidents of densely populated areas likeLos Angeles County. They provide aplace for families to get away for theweekend, and for kids to learn about theoutdoors. That’s why I’m grateful thatRepresentative Judy Chu introduced leg-islation to permanently protect the SanGabriel Mountains.

These mountains make up over 70 per-cent of the open space in Los AngelesCounty alone. Thanks to her leadership,

we could have access to a permanentlyprotected place for families and childrento hike, climb, camp, stargaze, kayak,cycle and learn about all that nature hasto offer.

Having permanently protected accessto these areas is vital for young peoplewho grow up in urban communities, andhave limited access to outdoors experi-ences. I’m excited that we’re makingprogress on keeping the San Gabrielspermanently protected!

Bicycle riders come in allshapes and sizes, and ifyou’re planning on tak-

ing to the road this summer,there’s no better place to ridethan Claremont.

With over 30 linear miles of bicycle in-frastructure, beginner and advanced cy-clists can stretch their legs and practicetheir skills in an environment that wel-comes the sport.

This summer, the city of Claremontand the Claremont Senior Bike Group aresponsoring a series of free bicycle safetyclasses, teaching safe cycling techniqueson public roads and streets. As certifiedinstructors with the League of AmericanBicyclists and avid cyclists themselves,Tom Shelley, Steven Frieson and PeterBoor know a thing or two about the joysand challenges of cycling.

“Bicyclists have the same rights andresponsibilities as motor vehicles andmotorcycle drivers,” explains Mr. Shel-ley. “A lot of people don’t know that, par-ticularly children.”

National Safety Council statistics showthat bicyclists between the ages of 5 to 14have the highest accidental death rateamong bicyclists.

According to the city website, most bi-cycle accidents in the Claremont occur

between 7 and 8 a.m. or 2 and 3 p.m., atime when many children are traveling toand from schools. Parents are stronglyencouraged to talk with their childrenabout bicycle safety. Attending a freeclass taught by certified instructors is agreat place to start.

Sycamore student Ben Taylor attendedthe June 19 Traffic Skills 101 class withhis father, Chuck, and followed that upwith a Saturday ride with one of the in-

structors, who provided him with somereal-life experience on the road.

“I’m really interested in riding my biketo school next year and I learned a lotfrom the safety class,” the 10-year-oldsaid. “We rode from the Hughes Centerto Thompson Creek Trail and I learnedhow to cross the street and avoid hazardslike a rock in front of you by twistingyour front wheel to avoid it. It was a niceway to learn.”

Protecting yourself In 2013, there were 15 bicycle-related

collisions in Claremont. Earlier thismonth, a Fontana cyclist riding on Mt.Baldy Road was killed after a vehiclestruck him. Riding with the flow of traf-fic, controlling your lane, being aware ofyour surroundings and wearing a helmet,regardless of age, are just a few of the ba-sics people need to know to safely ride.

“We believe most accidents are avoid-able if you use basic skills,” explains Mr.Shelley. “On a narrow rural road, bicy-clists have to take control of the lane. It’shard enough dodging rocks, but being onthe shoulder is dangerous. When you’rein the middle of a lane, you force the carsto slow down and pass you when it’ssafe.”

Councilman Sam Pedroza, an experi-enced cyclist, knows all too well how apleasant ride can turn into a horrific crashin the blink of an eye. Mr. Pedroza wasseriously injured in August 2011 when hetook his road bike to the gym and endedup in a collision with a vehicle.

“It was a new bike and it was likegoing from driving a semi-truck to a Fer-rari,” explains Mr. Pedroza. “I was rightaround the corner from my house andgoing fast. There was a truck parked upahead; I looked over my shoulder to getover and smashed into the back of thetruck on Arrow Highway.”

Before winding down fora summer recess in Au-gust, the Claremont

City Council revisited twomatters recently brought beforethe council. The city’s tree pol-icy and funding for Commu-nity Based Organizations camebefore the council once againTuesday night. Trees policies have new outcome

The recent draft of revised policiesand guidelines that govern the care andmaintenance of Claremont’s urban for-est raised some questions for councilmembers, particularly their concernsover the use of Tree Growth Regulator(TGR). Frequent complaints by Clare-mont property owners regarding seed-pods littering the right-of-way in frontof their homes prompted city staff topropose a program that would treat citytrees with TGR.

The draft policy included an optionalprogram where interested homeown-ers—at their own expense—could part-ner with the city to have the trees ontheir property treated with the chemi-cal, which has proven to reduce fruitand seedpod production by 20 to 80percent.

City council held a special workshopon June 2 and requested the removal ofthis program from the draft policy, cit-ing concerns with chemical usage. As a

result, city staff removed the languageoutlining this program from the draftpolicy manual.

The changes, along with others re-quested by council members, will bebrought before the city again in the fall.

Also on June 2, the council allocatedfunds to the Inland Urban Forest Group

(IUFG) to expand theDesignated Street TreeList and conduct an in-

dividual assessment of city trees thatshow signs of stress or decline.

IUFG conducted a “Windshield Sur-vey” on June 10 and found that overall;Claremont’s leafscape is generally ingood health, although drought and dis-ease is taking its toll on many treesthroughout the city. Nearly all the city’sliquidambars and many of the elms onIndian Hill are exhibiting symptoms ofleaf scorch, a disease carried by asharpshooter insect for which there isno cure. The city’s London planetreesalso appear to be in declining health,possibly as a result of a mild winter,which has limited their dormancy time.

In addition, IUFG observed that fivepercent of the city’s tree population ap-peared to be demonstrating mild to se-vere drought stress.

“Five percent doesn’t sound like alot,” explained Tree Action Committee(TAC) member Mark von Wodtke.“But when you break it down, that’s1,200 trees that are in real trouble.”

IUFG cited lack of water as the mainissue with many of Claremont trees, in-cluding the eucalyptus trees along

Foothill Boulevard and many of themagnolias along Mountain Avenue.Unfortunately, a lack of water is anissue that has no easy fix, but manyTAC members and residents believe theaddition of a water truck may providesome immediate relief to the trees.

“I like the idea of a water truck, but Iknow it’s not in the city’s budget,” saidCouncilman Sam Pedroza. “It’s defi-nitely worth exploring private fundingoptions.”

Longtime Claremont resident RayFowler followed up that idea with thesuggestion of a water truck displayingadvertisements for those who con-tributed donations. Councilman CoreyCalaycay explained it’s not really awater tank truck per se, but a trailerwhere a water tank can be placed ontop and then towed by a pick-up truck.

“I’ve spoken with Mr. von Wodtke,and the trailer and the tank costs around$4,000,” Mr. Calaycay said. “I’ve got apick-up that I’m happy to offer up anddrive around with someone to get thejob done.”City grant program funding

On May 13, the community andhuman services commission presentedits proposed 2014-15 CommunityBased Organization (CBO) Grant Pro-gram to the city council.

Twenty percent of the CBO budgetwas to be designated to new andemerging programs. However, thecouncil found there to be some in-equities in how the money was distrib-uted and sent the recommendation back

to commission for further review.At Tuesday’s council meeting, the

newly proposed 2014-15 CBO GrantProgram budget including $86,650 forGeneral Services and $60,000 forHomeless Services was well received.The requested 20 percent allocations tonew and emerging programs in bothGeneral Services and Homeless Serv-ices programs was reflected in the revi-sion. The remaining balance of fundingin each category would be designatedfor continuing programs in both servicedepartments.

Because the majority of the 28 CBOapplicants are currently planning theirbudgets for the next fiscal year, the ap-plicants need to know what their fund-ing allocations will be to properlyprepare for the year ahead. With thisdeadline in mind, the council approvedthe city staff’s recommendation toaward funding, based on the commis-sion’s revised average funding recom-mendations determined on June 4.

Claremont Homeless Advocacy Pro-gram (CHAP), whose previous alloca-tion of $1,000 felt like “a slap in theface” to one volunteer, has now beenraised to $6,500 and the ClaremontMuseum of Art, which was originallydenied funding all together, will be get-ting $1,550 from the CBO GeneralServices fund.

The next city council meeting isscheduled for July 8.

Psychologist pleads no contestto felony charges

A former child psychologist who prac-ticed in Claremont was convicted of in-appropriately touching two childrenduring therapy sessions, according to apress release from the Los AngelesCounty District Attorney’s Office.

Thomas Gary Amberson, 58, of Up-land pleaded no contest in Pomona courton June 23 to two felony counts of lewdacts upon a child. He was immediatelyremanded into custody.

As the COURIER previously re-ported, the investigation was initiated inNovember 2012 by Claremont PoliceDepartment after a 9-year-old boy al-leged that Mr. Amberson committedlewd acts upon his person during a coun-seling session. A similar investigationwas conducted in 2008, after a 13-year-old boy made similar allegations. Thecase was not filed by the District Attor-ney’s Office at the time due to insuffi-cient evidence but was included in thecurrent criminal filing.

Mr. Amberson is expected to be sen-tenced July 16 and faces eight years in

state prison, according to the district at-torney’s office. He will also have to reg-ister as a sex offender for life.

Wednesday, June 18A Pomona bicyclist made an unsafe

lane change and ended up in the hospitalafter colliding with a vehicle. Around 10a.m., the 27-year-old male was travelingeastbound on Arrow Highway when a carstruck him near St. Bonaventure, ejectingthe rider from his bike, according to Lieu-tenant Mike Ciszek. The cyclist sufferedcuts to his left knee and ankle and wastransported to Pomona Valley Hospitalfollowing complaints of hip pain.

* * * *Scammers continue to target Clare-

mont residents. This time, they claimedto be with the IRS. A resident receivedseveral calls on her cell phone around11:30 a.m. from a man claiming she wasdelinquent on her taxes. The caller re-quested payment in the form of twoGreen Dot credit cards. The womancomplied, paying $1,089 to the imper-sonator. Green Dot credit cards are a pre-paid cash card often used by people topay bills online if they don’t have a reg-

ular bank account or other credit cards,like Visa or MasterCard.

After receiving the initial $1,089, thescammers called the Claremont residentagain and demanded another $3,000. Atthis point, the victim notified police. Po-lice remind residents that if a callerseems suspicious, hang up and call theagency directly. Don’t use the phonenumber the caller provided but write itdown so you can call the police to reportthe incident.Friday, June 20

A 17-year-old driver caused some se-rious damage to a Claremont city streetaround noon when he lost control of hisvehicle. The Claremont youth was al-legedly trying to avoid a rock in the roadon Arrow Highway near Geneva Av-enue, when he collided with a fire hy-drant and knocked down a light pole.Despite the seriousness of the accident,the young man was unharmed.

* * * *An electrician’s work truck looked ap-

pealing to a thief who just couldn’t helphimself to the worker’s tools. The whiteFord truck was parked in the victim’sdriveway on the 200 block of PiedmontAvenue when an unknown suspect un-locked the chests on the back of the truckand made off with $3,250 in tools.

Saturday, June 21The party ended early for a 17-year-

old Ontario boy after providing falseidentification to police who had re-sponded to a noise complaint. Around12:30 a.m., officers observed around 50minors, many of whom appeared to bein possession of or consuming alcohol,in the backyard and in the home locatedon the 400 block of Bonaventure Av-enue. Police located the homeowner,who appeared to be unaware of the partygoing on. Police arrested and issued a ci-tation to the underage party-goer andthen transported him home to his mother.

Sunday, June 22While a Good Samaritan would return

a wallet found on a store counter, itprompted one Claremont resident tocommit petty theft. The victim was grab-bing a coffee at Starbucks located insideVons on the 500 block of Base LineRoad when she realized her wallet wasmissing. Police used in-store electronicmeans to identify 45-year-old Muna Bas-Baas as the thief. Officers issued a searchwarrant on her residence and recoveredthe stolen property. Ms. BasBaas was ar-rested and released on $20,000 bail.

The councilman suffered two cracked vertebrae inhis neck, a fractured nose and deep lacerations to hisface. Although his injuries were serious, it could havebeen much worse. “I was close to being paralyzed andthe helmet on my head saved my life,” Mr. Pedroza said,emphasizing to the attendees, “Always wear your hel-met!”

As a result of his accident, Mr. Pedroza used someleft-over campaign money and started Sam’s Lids, a pro-gram offering free helmets for cyclists in need. Team-ing up with Coates Cyclery in Pomona and the RotaryClub of Claremont, Sam’s Lids has given away around50 free helmets to date. If you’re in need of a helmet orwould like to donate to this cause, please contact TomShelley at (909) 496-8431.

Operating a bicycle requires the same skills as drivinga motor vehicle. Riders are expected to obey all trafficsignals and signs, never pass on the right of another ve-hicle and never needlessly block a traffic lane.

“More often than not, motorists are going to avoidyou,” Mr. Frieson told the class. “Be assertive of yourposition in the road and you’re going to be okay.”

Claremonters are fortunate to have many bike lanesthroughout the city although there are still many non-shareable and narrow lanes. If a bicycle lane is not avail-able, cyclists should stay at least five feet from parkedcars and ride in the far right lane.Protecting your bike

The increasing popularity of bicycling as a sport andas a means of transportation has made bicycles an easytarget for thieves. Last year, 118 bikes were reportedstolen in Claremont and nowhere are bicycle thefts moreprevalent than around college campuses. Registeringyour bicycle on a national bike database and purchasinga strong lock are just two things you can do to protectyourself from becoming a victim of bike theft.

Many bicycles are easily stolen because the ownerjust plain failed to lock it up. Your first line of defenseagainst theft is storing your bicycle in a secure locationwith a good lock.

“Bike owners need a quality lock, not just a cablelock,” advises Claremont Police Lieutenant MikeCiszek. “Cable locks can be easily compromised. Thebest choice is a strong, reliable U-lock.”

Jax Bicycle Center in the Village offers a wide rangeof U-locks starting at $45, but recommends the Kryp-tonite KryptoLock with the additional 4-inch cable that

secures the bike’s wheels to the frame. “Riders need to protect their wheels, too,” Jax em-

ployee Sean Ranallo explained. “You’d be surprisedhow many people come in here with a $200 bike andare shocked when it costs $100 to replace a stolen wheel.If it’s a front wheel you’ll need a new wheel with aninner tube, a new tire and a new rim strip. If it’s a rearwheel, you’ll also have the gears to replace. If you lockyour wheels with your bike frame, thieves are going tohave a harder time stealing them.”

The National Bike Registry (NBR) recommendscombining a cable and a solid steel U-lock, or even twoU-locks, when securing a bicycle. Always lock the bikein a visible, well-lighted area to a fixed, immovable ob-ject like a bike rack. If you have a multi-speed bike, leav-ing it in the highest gear will make it much harder for athief to shift quickly and get away. The more time andtrouble it takes a thief to get to your bike, the less likelythat it will be stolen.

Since 1984, the National Bike Registry has beenworking with law enforcement to return stolen bikes totheir owners. A bicycle registered with a national data-base can be identified by police and returned to theowner instead of being sold at an auction. For $10 for 10years, you will be provided with a Certificate of Regis-tration and a tamper-resistant NBR label to identify yourbike should it ever be stolen and recovered. A familyregistration fee of $25 is also an option and will cover upto five bicycles at a single address for 10 years.

You can register at www.nationalbikeregistry.com.Future bicycle safety classes will be held at the

Hughes Center on the third Thursday of the month inJuly and August. The classes are free and will be opento kids from fourth grade and up to adults.

Be sure to check the COURIER calendar for futuredates and times.

BICYCLE SAFETY/continued from previous page

Claremont Affordable Water Advo-cates (CAWA) made a splash ear-lier this month when the unknown

citizens group entered into a Memorandumof Understanding with Golden State WaterCompany, putting them smack dab in themiddle of a water fight that’s consumedClaremont for years.

Many residents and city officials speculated the groupdidn’t really exist, a few even suggesting that perhapsCAWA was concocted by Golden State Water in aneleventh-hour bid to prevent a proposed water revenuebond measure by city council from going to a vote. ButCAWA does exist and they want to be taken seriously.

Spearheaded by Claremont resident Donna Lowe, abusinesswoman who ran for State Assembly in the 41stdistrict in 2012 and founded the Claremont Conserva-tives Tea Party, CAWA members are an eclectic mix oflawyers, sales people, business owners, consultants andretired folks who, according to Ms. Lowe, “don’t have adegree in city politics.”

What they do have in common is a genuine belief thatcooperating and collaborating with Golden State WaterCompany is far better for residents than an eminent do-main fight over Claremont’s water system.

“We want everyone to realize there are alternatives,”CAWA member Bruce Cathcart explained. “The ratescan be controlled and we don’t have to have the city doit—they don’t know how to do it.”

The grassroots effort began many months ago whenMs. Lowe, a Claremont resident since 2000, was innorthern California for business and met with Golden

State Water (GSW) representatives to discuss the watersystem acquisition.

“I was in Sacramento and I met with Mitch Zak andJulie Hooper,” explains Ms. Lowe of her talk with thetwo representatives of Randle Communications, a pub-lic relations firm that represents GSW. “I said to them, ‘Ireally want to learn more.’ I wanted to know what wasgoing on before the city moved forward with an eminentdomain seizure. They explained to me their position andthe efforts they put forth with the city. It just made sense.”

Following that meeting, Ms. Lowe began assemblingCAWA members, people she’d worked with previously

in other organizations and efforts, whobegan gathering information about what

had transpired between the city and GSW. According toMr. Cathcart, the group wanted to hear more from thewater company and its plans for Claremont’s water sys-tem from someone other than the city.

“Golden State introduced us to the vice president, theybrought out their PR guys who talked with us and theyshowed us documents from CPUC meetings,” Mr. Cath-cart said. “They (GSW) seemed credible and had wantedto work with a citizens group but weren’t getting any co-operation.”

In March, CAWA began holding meetings with abouta dozen people in attendance and the citizens groupagreed to partner with GSW to allow residents to under-stand that there is another option.

“Denise Kruger came to my house on several occa-sions to talk about some of the issues and concerns sur-rounding the water system,” Ms. Lowe said. “We cameup with a first draft and, two months later, is the MOUyou have that was presented to the city council.”

CAWA’s decision to get involved with the water issueand work alongside Golden State to try to solve issues

regarding water supply and costs wasn’t a hard one tomake for the group members.

“Several of us go to city council meetings on a regu-lar basis and we started following the city’s desire to takecontrol of the water system,” Mr. Cathcart said. “Welooked into the situation and we didn’t think the city wasactually doing anything. They weren’t negotiating ingood faith or participating in public CPUC (CaliforniaPublic Utility Commission) hearings. And then the citystarted complaining that GSW wasn’t cooperating andwe didn’t see that.”

The city’s purported lack of participation in the 2013-2015 rate-making process appears to be the catalyst tothe group questioning the city’s plan for seizure of thewater system.

“I was shocked to learn that the city didn’t participatein the CPUC hearings. They showed up to the first one,but never showed up again,” Ms. Lowe says. “I washappy they brought the water price issues to light but dis-appointed they didn’t show up. That’s when the first ‘redflag’ went up for me.”

The city of Claremont refutes this claim, stating thatstaff began protesting proposed rate increases in July of2011 when it retained legal counsel to represent Clare-mont in the General Rate Case.

“The interests of the ratepayers were represented in theGeneral Rate Case proceedings by the Division ofRatepayers Advocates, the advocacy arm of the CPUC,”the city said. “The cities of Claremont, Placentia, Cy-press, Stanton, Apple Valley and Barstow intervened inthe proceedings.”

Further, Claremont staff organized a public hearingwith the administrative law judge at Taylor Hall in Clare-mont in December of 2011. More than 400 residents at-tended and presented comments to the judge. During therate case proceedings, the city states it submitted testi-mony and rebuttal evidence and, with assistance from thelocal group Claremonters Against Outrageous WaterRates, collected residents’ protest letters, which were sentto the CPUC commissioners.

As a public agency, the CPUC claims that it dependson public input to make informed decisions that considerthe impact of utility costs and services. Next month,CAWA plans to participate in the CPUC public hearingsas an “intervenor,” a position supported by Golden State.

“We’re going to be a third party, witnessing and par-ticipating in the hearings. We will know first-hand if thecity is participating in these things or not,” explains Mr.Cathcart.

Ms. Lowe believes residents need to get wise to thecity’s changing water needs and evolve.

“What we need to understand, first and foremost, isthat we live in a desert. We act as though we do not,” Ms.Lowe said. “Do I love the trees? Absolutely. But timesare changing. We’re in a drought. Landscaping, plantingtrees that are not indigenous, that comes with a cost andwe need to get wise to it. It just boggles my mind.”

New housing developments are another concern of thegroup.

“Now we’ve got all these high-density, affordablehousing projects, which will require even more waterwith no apparent regard to water consequences. It’s a vi-cious cycle and turning over the water company to Clare-mont isn’t going to fix it,” she added.

Mr. Cathcart doesn’t feel the city is truly receptive toworking with an outside group to find a resolution.

“Our relationship with the city is more adversarial thancollegial, and we don’t feel it should be like that,” he says.“They should have an open mind. If we can get a betterdeal, they shouldn’t be in opposition to it just because itwasn’t their idea.”

The city maintains that it is open to discussion withGolden State on the 20-point Memorandum of Under-standing. As Mayor Lyons previously stated, “If GoldenState Water is serious about working with the city on realsolutions, our door is open.”

Report card error causes confusion forEl Roble Intermediate School familiesAnumber of El Roble families got a

surprise last week when theyopened their kid’s report card and

found another student’s marks printed onthe opposite side of the grade sheet.

The occurrence was inadvertent and due to a clericalerror, according to Claremont Unified School DistrictAssistant Superintendent of Educational Services BonnieBell. The double-sided report card was sent to about halfof the students at the local intermediate school. The otherhalf of El Roble students did not receive a report card atthe scheduled time.

As is the case in so many office snafus, it started withsome tricky technology. The printer usually used to cre-ate report cards was acting up, so the person tasked withprinting the grade sheets sent the documents to a remoteprinter, according to Ms. Bell. Unbeknownst to thestaffer, the remote printer was set to double-sided mode.

Perhaps the oversight would have been caught if re-port cards were stuffed into envelopes by hand. Theprocess, however, is automatic. When a notification issent to students’ homes, district personnel take thebatches as they come off the printer and place them di-rectly into a folding and stuffing machine.

Inadvertent or not, the resulting disclosure is in viola-tion of the federal Family Educational Rights and Pri-vacy Act (FERPA). The law requires that schools ask forwritten consent before disclosing a student’s personal in-formation to individuals other than a parent or guardian.Protected records include report cards and their accom-panying teacher comments, transcripts, class schedules,disciplinary records and contact and family information.

The district became aware of the error on June 19, the

day the report cards were received or, in the case of halfof El Roble’s students, the day they did not arrive.

The COURIER became aware of the situation becausea staff member has two boys at El Roble. One of the boysreceived a double-sided report card and the other did notget his grades at all. Luckily, since they share the samelast name, the double-sided report card contained the twobrothers’ grades. No harm, no foul for this family. How-ever, the local newspaper received several phone callsabout the situation from El Roble parents and also fol-lowed a vigorous Facebook thread about the mix-up.

The district acted quickly after learning of the error. El Roble families were contacted by telephone and

email and apprised of the situation. Those who receivedreport cards were asked to destroy them and were no-tified that a corrected copy of their child’s report cardwould be forthcoming shortly. New report cards wereprinted and mailed out at what Ms. Bell said was littleexpense, given that the district benefits from bulk mailrates.

In some cases where FERPA has been violated, highschools and colleges have opted to notify the Depart-ment of Education of the oversight. CUSD contactedtheir attorneys, asking what they should do, and weretold it was not necessary to bring the situation to theDOE’s attention.

The problem has been remedied to the best of the dis-trict’s ability, they said. Some struggling students, how-ever, may be nervous about who, besides their parents,has been privy to their low marks.

It is the first time that the district has violated studentprivacy laws in this way since she came to the districtfour years ago, Ms. Bell said. —Sarah Torribio

Claremont group teams up with Golden State Water

EDUCATION

WATER

Afew years ago, I took a simple,small ferry trip along the backwa-ters of Kerala in Southern India to

an ashram, where I spent the night andcontinued on another ferry further south.

Along the way, we passed beautifully thatch-coveredboats with people lounging in what seemed like luxuryto me. I longed to do just that—lounge on a coveredboat cruising along the canals and watching the life onthe shores as we passed by. And so this past Januarymy desires were made real as my friend Barbara and Ibooked an overnight trip on one of these covered “riceboats.” The boat came with a driver, a cook, a bedroomand bathroom and a covered front deck to lounge on,eat on and generally just watch the world on the Ker-alan backwaters pass by us as we floated on the water-ways.

We arrived in Fort Cochin in Kerala, a lovely smalltown filled with everything a tourist could want; inex-pensive guest houses, good food, the old Chinese fish-ing nets on the shore, which create lovely largetriangular shapes even though they are hardly used forfishing anymore. There are lovely parks where young-sters play sports after school, great shopping, and autorickshaws to take you anywhere. After a few enjoyabledays, we drove down to the town of Alleppy to stay ina small guest house for a night and through the ownerwe hired a rice boat for a 24-hour trip of sailing on thebackwaters. We had just settled down in our roomwhen we heard some music and a lot of drumming thatcontinued to get louder and louder. Being curious, weventured outside and saw that a crowd of people hadgathered next door to our guest house, which we thenrealized was a small Hindu temple.

Joining the crowd, we pushed up to the surroundingwall and watched as a large group of young men werehelping each other put on orange lungis (similar to asarong) and then, in smaller groups, they poured buck-ets of water over their heads, all this to the pounding ofdrums. We saw one young man taking a very longmetal spike and sticking it through the tongue of thenow wet lungi wearer then securing a lemon on eachside of the tongue. The young man began to prance anddance about and soon was joined by many others, eachproudly holding the ends of their metal spikes and

dancing faster and faster as the drumming grew louderand louder.

Our landlord said that he was a Christian and did notknow what was happening or why. No one else aroundseemed to speak English, so we never did learn what itwas about. But as quickly as it began, it ended as theentire group danced and drummed out of the templegrounds and down the street to the next temple. It wasquite an amazing experience to have witnessed.

For dinner, we were directed to a restaurant on thebeach and we arrived over bumpy roads in a rickshaw.We climbed up rickety stairs and sat at a table over-looking the beach bathed in the setting sun while peo-ple strolled up and down by the sand. It was what I atethat was so memorable. I ordered Singapore chili crab.A beautiful sweetly spicy red crab dish arrived, which Ihad to eat with my hands as it was the only way I couldget to the crab meat out. So I slurped and chewed andcrushed shells with my sharp teeth, enjoying every mo-ment. The next day, I noticed that my fingers were redand they stayed red for many days. I wondered what Ihad eaten in that crab dish that dyed my hands so well.

Early the next morning, a driver came and took us toour boat. There are many types of boats to choosefrom, each a different size and style ranging fromrather simple to totally luxurious. Our boat was simplerbut was very comfortable. We were welcomed on theboat with a fruit drink and soon took off down one ofthe waterways.

Our driver sat on a chair in the front and we just satquietly watching life sail by us. Houses of all colorsand shapes and sizes line the sides of the water. Thereare also small shops and a few snack bars as well astemples and churches every so often. Behind thehouses we could often see rice fields. Trees lined thepaths where children walked to and from school with

school bags on their backs. Goats and chickenslounged and roamed about, and men and womenwalked mostly barefoot carrying huge loads on theirheads. In front of the houses, men and women washedthemselves discreetly or scrubbed pots and pans after ameal. Every so often, one could hear the loud “slap,slap” of clothes being pounded on the rocks that linedthe water as the laundry was being done.

Small boats criss-crossed the water from side-to-sideselling and delivering goods and ferrying people fromone side to the other, as well as fishing. We watchedquietly and then our lunch was served at the table onthe porch. It was a huge spread, far more than we couldever eat just the two of us. The food was beautifullyprepared. We had fresh fried river fish, rice, dhal(lentils), and a great selection of various vegetabledishes. With all that food, we were lucky we didn’thave anywhere to go. And then, just a short time later,it was tea time, where tea and banana-stuffed pancakeswere served. Before that could be totally digested, itwas dinner time and another fish and vegetable spreadwas put before us. We did our best to try everythingand enjoyed it all. The boat stopped for the night by theside of the water and another few boats tied up next tous.

The bedroom was comfortable and we slept well. Inthe morning, we were served a full breakfast. The bestpart was the fruit plate of pineapple slices in a heartshape and decorated with tangerine slices. At one pointwhile sailing, we ventured away from the inhabitedriver area and sailed around a vast lake for a few hours.We passed other boats, some small and many quitelarge filled with happy people and often with music.We all photographed each other and danced as wepassed, waving and feeling happy and in a holidaymood. After breakfast, our boat began the return tripand we were back and tied up by 9 a.m. We were soonpicked up by our driver and taken back to the guesthouse and ultimately back to Fort Cochin for the night.

For quite some time, it had been a dream of mine tojust be on a rice boat and sail the backwaters for a bit ofrelaxing luxury with nothing to do but observe andenjoy. It is so satisfying when one can fulfill a dreamand be happy with the outcome. It turned out to be eas-ily arranged and with one call we had a guest housestay, a driver and car and a boat for a very reasonableprice. I was one satisfied customer.

OUR TOWN

“Future generations will look back at the time weare living in now. The kind of future they look from,and the story they tell about our period, will beshaped by choices we make in our lifetimes.”

—Joanna Macy and Chris Johnstone, Active Hope

Global warming: what an oppres-sive topic this has been to me. I’mnot one to hide from the news—I

read, I see, I worry. Every day, in the United States, 80 million tons of

CO2 get pumped into the atmosphere, driving planettemperatures higher and creating ever-increasing badnews about rising oceans, extreme weather, loss ofspecies—all of which, if left unchecked, will bring agreat deal of suffering. I recently saw the movieChasing Ice, which shows glaciers melting at anever-increasing pace, sliding into the sea. And I knowthat 97 percent of all scientists agree that globalwarming is the result of human activity.

My grandchildren look at the grownups aroundthem with such trust! They can’t know that the qualityof their future lives depends on their grownups actingnow—that in a few years it will be too late to makemuch difference.

But reading as I do has not just acquainted me withthe bad news. I have also learned about many of the

creative and courageous organizations that havesprung up around the globe to take on one or anotherof the challenges brought on by climate change. Forthe past year I have been a part of one of these: a fast-growing national movement that is promoting a planthat they believe will make a significant cut in green-house gases.

Citizens Climate Lobby (CCL) is working on asingle project, based on ideas of economists and cli-mate scientists: to get a fee placed on carbon-basedfuels—coal, gas and oil—all major sources of theproblem. A fee on carbon, rising slowly over a num-ber of years, say economists and CCL members, willgive businesses as well as individuals motivation tospend money differently—spend less on productsand fuels that contain carbon, more on products andfuels that don’t. They also point out that a rising feeon carbon would provide renewable fuels with alevel playing field, and would stimulate innovationin a variety of related fields. For information, visitcitizensclimatelobby.org.

The added costs consumers would pay, with a car-bon fee in place, would not be great (especially if

compared to the high costs everyone will face if nocorrective action is taken). Nonetheless, CCL’s planwould return all the money raised by the fee to Amer-ican households, thereby offsetting any higher con-sumer costs.

British Columbia initiated a carbon fee plan in2008. Since then the province has experienced a 15.1percent drop in fuel consumption and a 9.9 percentdecline in greenhouse gas emissions. The fee has re-mained revenue-neutral (has actually resulted in a netbenefit for taxpayers) and the GDP has been unaf-fected. Finland, Sweden, Great Britain, New Zealand,Quebec, Australia and Ireland have initiated carbonfees or variations on the plan.

There are hundreds of Citizens Climate Lobbychapters now across the United States, as well as inCanada and a few other countries. Now there is onemore CCL chapter: our own Inland Valley CitizensClimate Lobby branch had its start-up gathering May31. Inland Valley CCL will meet the first Saturday ofevery month at the Monte Vista Unitarian Universal-ist Congregation, 9185 Monte Vista Ave. in Mont-clair. All are welcome.

New group takes on global warming gasesby Dave Lutz

DemystifyingSUSTAINABILITY


The Kiwanis Club ofClaremont recently hit amajor milestone. The

club celebrated its 90th year ofundertaking projects that en-hance the lives of local chil-dren and families.

The activities of the service club,which aims to change the world “onecommunity and one child at a time,”will be particularly visible in the com-ing weeks as Claremont prepares for itsFourth of July Celebration and its an-nual Monday Night Concerts in thePark series.

On Friday, July 4, a slew of Kiwani-ans will gather at Memorial Park from7 to 10 a.m. to serve up their perenni-ally popular pancake breakfast.

Longtime Kiwanian Paul Wheeler iscontinuing a family legacy with hismembership. His great-grandfather wasa member of Claremont’s KiwanisClub. His grandfather was president ofthe group at one time and so was his fa-ther. Mr. Wheeler also served as presi-dent in the 1980s.

When you’ve been in an associationlong enough, you learn some of its se-crets. The trick to the light fluffy pan-cakes the club turns out by the hundredson July 4 is adding half-beer and half-water to the mix, Mr. Wheeler shared.

If he wasn’t supposed to expose thatrecipe, he will be duly punished at thenext Kiwanis meeting. At the club’sgatherings, held at noon on Thursdaysat St. Ambrose Church, members aregently ribbed and fined for any numberof infractions, ranging from buying anew car to appearing in the newspaper.

The lighthearted nature of the fines,the payment of which goes straight to-wards the Kiwanis Club’s philanthropicprograms, is evident in an account of arecent meeting written up in the Clare-mont Kiwanis bulletin: “Jim Coveyfined Carl Gaiser because he stood bythe front door and met everybody with,“Hi, I’m the Secret Greeter…AndreEllis was fined for wearing a spiffy hat,

having no name badge, and for beinglate. His defense—‘The train stoppedme!’—was met with, ‘Tell it to thejury.’”

After the last drop of syrup from theIndependence Day pancake breakfasthas been mopped up, Kiwanis Clubmembers will reconvene at PomonaCollege and set up a snack bar soguests can enjoy some grub during theevening fireworks show. If you thinkvolunteers find it painful to work on aholiday, think again.

“It’s very festive and everyone is justin such a good mood. It’s fun,” Kiwan-ian Penny Myrdal said.

Three days later, the Kiwanis Clubwill be back in full force, setting up asnack bar at the inaugural MondayNight Concert in the Park. While the

classic rock group The Ravelers makethe Memorial Park bandshell reverber-ate, some 20 volunteers will sell burg-ers, hot dogs, nachos, popcorn, drinksand frozen yogurt donated by 21Choices.

“It’s a lot of work but it’s very re-warding,” Kiwanis President EdLeavell said.

The local Kiwanians fund the concertseries, which has been known to drawas many as 5,000 people. The club alsopaid for the construction of the band-shell, which was built with the help oflocal high school students.

The performances, where you’re sureto spot someone you know, are a win-win, according to Mr. Wheeler.

“The bands love it because there are3,000 or 4,000 screaming people, and it

bolsters the fabric of the community,”he said. “It’s what makes ClaremontClaremont.”

After the concerts conclude with theclassic rock group The Answer on Sep-tember 1, it will be time for another sig-nature fundraiser. Tickets are already onsale through brownpapertickets.com forthe annual Kiwanis Club of ClaremontRoute 66 Party.

The event, which costs $40 in ad-vance and $45 at the door, is set forSeptember 19 at the DoubleTree byHilton in Claremont. Beginning at 6p.m., there will be dinner, dancing, livemusic by the Ravelers, casino games, asilent auction and an opportunity draw-ing. For more information, visitwww.claremontkiwanis.org.

Claremont Kiwanians know something about community service

KIWANIS TURNS 90/next page

COURIER photos/Steven FelschundneffKathy Hatcher prepares nachos at the Kiwanis Club food booth during a Monday night concert in the park last summer. Theclub recently celebrated its 90th year of service to Claremont.

A few months later, between Thanks-giving and Christmas, the Kiwanianswill set up a store along the Foothillcorridor, somewhere between TowneAvenue and Indian Hill, where they sellSee’s candies.

Proceeds from the fundraisers willfund next year’s concerts and an arrayof programs intended to give a boost tolocal kids.

This year, the Kiwanis club pre-sented graduates from Claremont andSan Antonio high schools with the StanLarson Scholarship. This year’s CHSrecipients included Karen Chen, who isheading for Tulane University, SarahJonny, who has been accepted at UCRiverside and Jynelle Harrison Kelly,who will attend Citrus College. SanAntonio High School had two scholar-ship recipients: Nautika Clemons, whoplans to attend the Borough of Manhat-tan Community College, and IsabellaReyes, who is going to Citrus.

It is the gift that keeps on giving.Each recipient will get a $750 check foreach of the next four years.

Members of the Kiwanis Club ofClaremont also participate in the ReadMe program. Not only do they read abook aloud to preschoolers at local ele-mentary schools. They bring enoughcopies so that each child can take thebook home. Kids in the CUSD comefrom a wide array of socio-economicbackgrounds. For some young learners,books they get through the Read Meprogram constitute the bulk of their per-sonal library.

“It’s a really nice program that wedo,” Mr. Leavell said.

Jerry Feingold, who has been amember of the Kiwanis Club of Clare-mont for seven years, agreed.

“Over the last nine years, we havedonated over 95,000 books to the read-ing program,” he said. “We figurewe’ve read to more than 70,000 chil-dren.”

Kiwanians also help out with Habitat

for Humanity, fund the monthly seniorfood bank at the Joslyn Senior Centerand buy backpacks to hold shoes, socksand school supplies for Shoes That Fit’syearly back-to-school campaign. TheKiwanis Club of Claremont also con-tributes money to the city’s Best Betprogram, which provides mini-grants toCUSD teachers with ideas for innova-tive school programs.

Any way you look at it, that’s awhole lot of good.

Kiwanis meetings, which typicallydraw between 40 to 50 attendees, in-clude lunch tastefully prepared by localcaterers Gayle Jensen and Kim Mc-Curdy. At each gathering, someonegives a 20-minute talk. At the last meet-ing, Chris Varma, owner of Claremont’sWild Birds Unlimited, expounded with

enthusiasm on The Top Ten Most Com-mon Backyard Birds.

Some news is shared and dollars areextracted from members who aredeemed in need of punishment, for in-stance someone who went on vacationand failed to bring back souvenirs forthe entire club. Ms. Myrdal has come tolove the camaraderie.

“It’s the friendliness of everyone,”she marveled. “I’ve never experiencedany tension. Everyone gets along.”

For Mr. Wheeler, being a part of aservice group like Kiwanis is secondnature.

“Claremonters have a high amountof volunteerism,” he said. “Giving backand helping out is what we do.”

Leonard SimonArt historian, actor, beloved husband

Leonard Simon of Claremont diedgently and painlessly in his own bed onJune 3, 2014. He was 77.

Mr. Simon was born in Norristown,Pennsylvania in 1936 to Pattie andWilliam Walter Simon and was theyoungest of 14 brothers and sisters. Hegraduated from Norristown High in1954, and soon enrolled in the Army AirForce Reserve for active duty. Heserved three years in an army hospitalas an intern. Thereafter, he completedtraining with the 4th guided missile bat-talion of the US forces, that preparedtroops to deploy with the Nike Ajaxanti-aircraft system.

Mr. Simon was a fan and a jubilantparticipant in many sports, includingbasketball, football and track. With aPalm Springs delegation, he went toAmsterdam to compete in the 1998 GayGames.

He was also a versatile entertainer—he sang, danced and acted on the stageand in film and television. He playedseveral instruments and sang with a

band. He was startlingly handsome, hisloved ones noted; he also had a greatspeaking voice and an athletic body.Add to this a charismatic personality,which gave him a great stage presence.He acted in theaters across the countryfrom New York to Palo Alto, San Joseand San Francisco. His best roles wereas Prospero in The Tempest, StanleyKowalski in A Streetcar Named De-sire and Randall in Slow Dance on aKilling Ground. Multitudinous TV andcinema credits are on his IMDB.compage. Notable were two episodes ofJulia of 1973, and a role as an impor-tant extra in the Charles Bronson film,The Stone Killer.

As an art historian, Mr. Simon wasthe registrar of the Leland Stanford Jun-ior Museum from 1964 to 1970. In1976, he served as author of the cata-logue raisonné for the Los AngelesCounty Museum of Art landmark trav-eling exhibit “Two Centuries of BlackAmerican Art,” writing the biographicentries for each artist and the object de-

scriptions in the catalogue.In her 2011 book, Exhibiting Black-

ness: African Americans and theAmerican Art Museum, Bridget R.Cooks writes that the exhibit’s curator,David C. Driskell, selected Mr. Simonas his research assistant “because of hiscomprehensive grasp of art history.”

In a 1986 Los Angeles Times article,“Palette of Passion from Black Artists,”Mr. Simon reflected on how, for blackartists, art was about more than self-ex-pression.

“During the ‘60s, black artists usedtheir creativity as a vehicle for socialchange,” he emphasized. “Black artists,previously able to show their work inblack museums and galleries only, letthe cultural Establishment know abouttheir art. They were saying, ‘Our civilrights allow us to be artists too. Youhave to understand that even if our art isdifferent, even if we’re wearing Afrosand corn rows.’” He was an instructor inthe Ethnic Studies Department of UCRiverside for nine years, teaching

classes like black art history. And from1977 to 1980, he was a deputy directorof the California Fine Arts Council.

He was also active socially and politi-cally. He was jailed at age 18 fordemonstrating during the 1955 bus boy-cott of Martin Luther King Jr. in Mont-gomery, Alabama. He was also involvedin the 1960 Woolworth lunch countersit-ins in Greensboro. While demon-strating against the department store’spolicy of racial segregation, he was spatat and arrested. For over a year, he wasin a jail where he was badly beaten sev-eral times. This sordid experience left adeep mark on his soul.

From 1975 to 1976, he was the hous-ing consultant of the Watts CommunityHousing Corp., which erected a 40-unithousing complex plus a recreationbuilding in Watts veritably on the ruinsof the 1965 riot. He was an officer ofBlack And White Men Together and aforce in the Los Angeles Leader Confer-ence, which organized citywide unitsdispensing AIDS information, adviceand care long before the state of Califor-nia acted to combat and ameliorate theeffects of the epidemic.

Leonard is survived by his spouse,Gerald M. Ackerman, with whom heshared 52 happy years of life, and byfour generations of adoring nieces andnephews.

A celebration of Mr. Simon’s life willtake place on Sunday, July 27 at 5 p.m.in Bridges Hall of Music on the campusof Pomona College (150 E. Fourth St. inClaremont). A reception will be held af-terwards in Lebus Court, directly behindBridges Hall of Music.

In lieu of flowers, Mr. Simon’s familyasks that you consider a donation to oneof his favorite causes, Doctors WithoutBorders.

If Maria Dancing Heart Hoaglund hasone message to offer, it is this: Death isnothing to be afraid of. It’s a conclu-

sion she has reached through personal ex-perience, through years as a hospice workerand through countless hours contemplatinga phenomenon that many people wouldrather ignore.

Americans tend to treat dying as an unnatural occur-rence as opposed to something we will all eventuallyface, Ms. Hoaglund said. Often when someone is termi-nally ill, their loved ones feel uncomfortable addressingthe elephant in the room—that the person is on the brinkof death.

“People tiptoe around it,” she said. “I would say some-times the dying are dying to talk about death.”

Ms. Hoaglund, who was set to speak on Thursday atthe Village Grille about “Making Friends with the LastAdventure of Life,” has written a book intended to helppeople who are dying and people who are poised to losesomeone they love deal with a transition that is as daunt-ing as it is inevitable. Her book, The Last Adventure ofLife: Inspiring Approaches to Living and Dying, isavailable for purchase at Buddhamouse Emporium, 134Yale Ave. in Claremont.

Her book explains the concept of hospice, care duringthe last weeks and months of a person’s life that is aimedat physical and emotional comfort rather than at treat-ment of a condition that has progressed too far to heal.

The book gives advice on how to connect in a mean-ingful way with a person who is dying and to help pro-vide as much joy as possible during their waning days.Small pleasures can really help lift someone’s spirits,even when they are on their deathbed.

“So often at the end of life, people aren’t eating. Thefamily wants to feed them,” she said. “You can feed theirsenses with music, touch and scent. Many spiritual coun-selors do nails for loved ones or rub their feet.” Watch-ing a comedy, telling a joke or even engaging in someblack humor about someone’s deteriorating conditioncan also be in order.

“I’d say humor is very important, certainly for patientsand family. [Hospice] workers need comic relief too toput everything in perspective,” she said. “People do takethe end of life pretty seriously.”

When you are helping to care for someone who isdying, it’s important to remember to care for yourself aswell, Ms. Hoaglund asserts.

“You take on a lot of other emotions without eventhinking about it,” she said.

Whatever your religion or spiritual orientation, prayeras well as a conviction there is something after death—that we don’t just stop cold when our heart ceases tobeat—can help take much of the terror out of death.

In The Last Adventure of Life, Ms. Hoaglund offers

inspiration and prayers from many sources. She also hasaccounts from people she has worked with who have ex-perienced insights, dreams and visions that have reas-sured them that the person whose death they are grievingis very much present and very much at peace.

If you are squeamish about death, it might help to lookto the traditions of other cultures. Rather than avoidingthe subject, it is traditional among some Native Ameri-can tribes to dedicate the three days before and aftersomeone’s death as a time to visit, for some respectfulquiet and a period in which to honor the spirit.

The Mexican culture also does a good job of facingdeath with, strange as it may sound, festivity. During theannual Day of the Dead celebration, people build color-ful altars honoring the deceased and in some cases pic-nic right next to a loved one’s grave. They tidy up theburial site and give offerings of food, drink, flowers, can-dles and items meant to please the spirits who are be-lieved to make an el Dia de los Muertos visit.

Ms. Hoaglund, who lives in Sedona, is an attractivewoman, with long gray hair and a serene smile. Shewears long skirts and crystal jewelry, garb that—pardonthe stereotype—denotes a New Age approach to spiritu-ality.

While metaphysics has become an increasing focusfor Ms. Hoaglund, it has been a long journey from herstraight-laced upbringing in the Lutheran Church to en-

tertaining metaphysical ideas such as discarnate souls,energy healing and a recent boom in the birth of highlygifted, highly sensitive Indigo Children.

Ms. Hoaglund had worked for 10 years as a parishminister in the United Church of Christ. When the joywent out of her work, she began questioning her path andengaging in introspective activities such as meditation.One day, a single word came to her: hospice. Whether itwas a subconscious message or a telegraph from the uni-verse, she took the cue and became a hospice worker.

Her mother’s death prepared her somewhat for thesense of loss that accompanies death and for the physi-cal aspects of the process. Her mother took great pleas-ure in the quality time she spent with her daughter and therest of her family in those final days, making the expe-rience rewarding as well as difficult.

“Nothing was horrific,” she said. “It was very peace-ful and gradual.”

Even in the case of a sudden or ugly death, Ms.Hoaglund says a person’s final breath is as much a partof life as their first. She firmly believes that there is an af-terlife. And she is convinced that dying has its own sa-credness.

At such a time, “most people reflect on the true mean-ing in life, which brings out their beauty and strength. Itis a time of deep connections.”

tor for 1 to 24 hours, depending onpreference and type of steak.

More tender cuts should marinadefor less time, while tougher cuts willrequire more time.

Grilling Tips From Vom FassHere are a few helpful pointers for

grilling meats to perfection this summer.

• Foods that cook quickly on the grill,such as steaks or fish, only need a smallquantity of charcoal.• Don't light too much charcoal at once,to ensure that it gets enough oxygen.• If your grill has ventilation holes, theyshould be open for roughly 14-20 min-utes, until a layer of gray ash hasformed on the hot coals.• Ensure that your barbecue meat is al-ways kept at room temperature. Other-wise, the outside will brown very quicklywhile the inside may be still cold and raw.• Frozen or cured meat should not beused for grilling.• It is important to keep an eye on thecoals and keep turning the food withbarbecue tongs so your deliciousmorsels do not burn.• Don't prick the meat with a fork, asthe juices from the meat can then es-cape from the pores and cause themeat to dry out.

Students get hands-onduring ocean life lessonThe Pacific Ocean visited

Project Think onWednesday. Manhattan

Beach Pier’s RoundhouseAquarium docents andoceanographers presented athought-provoking lesson onoceanic plants and animals, ulti-mately explaining the human’spositive and negative influenceson this spacious biome.

The instructors acquainted the chil-dren with a variety of sea animals, in-cluding echinoderms, arthropods,mollusks, fish, sharks and rays, and ma-rine mammals. The children had the op-portunity to hold a sea star and touch asea cucumber.

Some children in kindergartenthrough second grade wore costumes ofa whale, shark, sea lion, smaller fish,plankton and the sun to demonstrate allof life’s dependence upon the sun for itsenergy. They also demonstrated the foodchain. Instructors displayed bones, teeth,cartilage, and baleen for the curious stu-dents. Four separate assemblies wereheld to accommodate the various agelevels.

Now in its 34th summer, ProjectThink reaches out to students in gradeskindergarten through eighth grade. This

year’s theme is oceanography, the um-brella under which the students increasetheir knowledge and thinking skills. Inthe mornings, students enjoy learningthrough a hands-on approach, as they ro-tate through classes of language arts,computers, science, drama, art historyand “Think Tank.”

Many students stay for the afternoonsession and may choose drama, comput-ers, swimming (lessons included) orconversational Spanish. Each of the twothree-week programs is independent ofthe other.

There is still room for enrollment insecond session July 7-July 25. Creatorsof the program, Susan Warren and KayConley, direct a large staff with a smallratio of students to adults. The programtakes place in The Old Schoolhouse onthe corner of Foothill Boulevard and In-dian Hill.
