Claremont donut shop owner accused of illegally smuggling ivory from endangered African elephants plead guilty to the charges in a plea bargain with federal prosecutors. Moun Chau, owner of Pixie Donuts at 596 E. Base Line Road, could face up to 5 years in federal prison, 3 years of supervised release and a fine of up to $250,000 under the terms of the agreement. Mr. Chau, a Montclair resident, originally plead not guilty at an arraignment hearing on March 1. By admitting guilt,
he avoids a potential 25-year sentence in federal prison. The agreement signed by Mr. Chau and federal prosecutor Bayron Gilchrist on March 24. The document states that Mr. Chau purchased 4 pieces of African elephant ivory tusks in October of 2006 for approximately $970 from a dealer in Thailand. The purchase was made over eBay using his PayPal account. In November 2006, agents from the Fish and Wildlife Services served a search warrant at the donut shop and uncovered dozens of pieces of raw and
carved ivory as well as instruments used for carving the ivory. Except in rare circumstances, importation of ivory into the United States is illegal. The ivory dealer in Thailand, Samart Chokchoyma, was arrested by Thai authorities and faces charges under Thai law. Mr. Chaus sentencing hearing is scheduled for October 18 at 2:30 p.m. before federal judge Christina Snyder in Los Angeles.

Learning from letters
Dear Editor: By far, my favorite section of the Claremont COURIER is the Letters to the Editor. Regardless of the issue, whether it be national (Healthcare Bill) or local (a new 7-Eleven on Foothill Boulevard), my natural tendency on issues in which I have some emotional stake is to be smug when the expressed opinions align with my own thinking and to be rather dismissive when the opinions contradict it. The writers sometimes rely on inconsistent facts in support of their opposing viewpoints. However, such facts are often mere generalizations that we all use because of limited access to information, limited time to gather it, and our limited ability to process it all. A recent article in the Los Angeles Times by a sports columnist lamenting his coverage of Pat Tillman, the athleteturned-soldier who died several years ago, illustrates this point. An upcoming film shows how the military only admitted that Tillman was killed by friendly fire after his mom tirelessly asked tough questions until she was told the truth. The columnist concluded that Tillmans mom did the job that professional journalists across the country had failed to do in their rush to write tributes to the fallen hero. This article was based on two seemingly non-controversial facts: Tillman was a war hero and the military was wrong to hide the true circumstances of his death. But as I thought about it, these facts are nothing more than opinions. Does it matter whether Tillman gave up his lucrative NFL career to join the military out of patriotism or as an investment in a future political career? Is a soldier who is wounded or killed more deserving of our respect than one who manages to avoid such a fate? Does death by friendly fire diminish Tillmans status as a hero? Of course, these are rhetorical questions for which I have no answers, but it shows how easy it is to confuse opinions or generalizations with hard facts. When issues are more controversial, the line separating facts from generalizations and opinions is less clear. Although Im decades past my elementary school days when I lived in a comfortable black and white world, I still need to be constantly reminded of the many shades of gray that exist. Letters to the editor serve as a reminder to me that not everyone shares the same knowledge, opinions, and beliefs, and that I must always keep myself open to new ideas on any topic long after I think my mind is made up.

Our ever-expanding Colleges

Dear Editor: Susan Schenk, in her letter Education at BFS [COURIER, April 21] makes a very sage statement, But there will inevitably be an end to college expansion anyway. This raises a very valid and timely issue which has also occurred to me, and one with which the city has yet to come to terms. Namely, just how big do the Claremont Colleges need to get? Now, of course, if one is employed by the Colleges, or has the Colleges enormous endowment sitting there to spend, the answer is probably, we'll never be too big. For a lot of the rest of us in Claremont, the Colleges are already well past big enough. And theres plenty of evidence for that. Consider, that the Colleges (1) now want to start building on the Bernard Field Station land, (2) have already felt the need to eliminate open space by building student housing off campus, on the north side of Foothill next the the Botanic Garden, (3) continue to close off and re-route streets, andmy personal top grievance(4) continue buying up single-family homes around their periphery, forever depriving more and more families of the chance to live in those prime locations of downtown Claremont, as well as reducing the pool of available housing. Not a very friendly thing for our neighbors to be doing.

One hundred and second year, number 34
lose to 100 people attended the Claremont League of Women Voters opening workshop Saturday to consider the possible uses of the Thompson Creek Spreading Grounds.
A $200,000 grant from the San Gabriel and Lower Los Angeles Rivers and Mountains Conservancy (RMC) was awarded to the League for the purpose of conducting a feasibility study of the area. The League has contracted with the RBF Consulting firm, a group that specializes in planning and engineering projects. Representatives of the firm were on hand Saturday at the Hughes Center to conduct the program for the day. The location is an approximately 150-acre parcel of land just south of and adjacent to the Claremont Wilderness Park. The land, for very close to 100 years, has been owned by the Pomona Valley Protective Association (PVPA). PVPAs stated purpose is to conserve water by capturing rain and letting it percolate back into the ground into aquifers for storage and later use. Aquifers are areas of rock, sand and gravel that keep and maintain water for use at later times. The goal of the League has been to preserve the land for increased groundwater recharge, maintenance and habitat restoration, education, creation of low-impact recreational use, and perhaps most importantly, preservation of open space. The goal of the PVPA is not quite so clear, despite its stated purpose. Rumors have circulated about possible sale of the land by PVPA to housing developers. John Schatz, the attorney associated with the 9member board of directors, did say some properties have been sold along the way by PVPA, but added those were not of any consequence, not large parcels. He also said its too soon in the process to comment on what might happen. He did say that a conservation easement might be possible, providing joint use. Attendees at the workshop used hand-held wireless polling devices to reply to a 10-question survey on attitudes and opinions dealing with the Thompson Creek area. Answers to the survey questions included 91 percent of respondents who said they care about the area, despite not living or owning property nearby or having a history with the area. Others responded that they frequently visit the Claremont Wilderness Park and care about open space and the environment. It was emphasized that anyone can complete the survey online by going to the Leagues website at
COURIER photos/Rafael Anguiano Charlene Martin answers a survey question during the Thompson Creek Park proposal meeting on Saturday at the Hughes Center. Several questions were posed to the audience to help gauge the views of the attendees.
Claremonters share opinions on Thompson Creek areas future

http://www.claremont.ca.lwvnet.org/ A timeline for the project includes gathering information between now and August, a public outreach meeting in September, refinement of alternatives in October and November and release of the report in December. After taking part in the survey, participants wrote their priorities on post-it notes, which were put on display at the front of the room. Topics included visions, treasures and challenges associated with the property. Treasures mentioned were the wildlife in the area, no development, water supply and the native vegetation. The visions included habitat and wildlife restoration, protection of water, minimal impact by human use and open space, along with education uses for young people. Among the challenges facing the Thompson Creek area, according to workshop attendees, are pressure for development, money and funding, a balance of interests, car traffic and consensus among diverse interests. Saturdays program began with music from the noted Pilgrim Place Pickers and quite naturally a group of 3 songs dealing with the environment. League President Barbara Musselman recognized the efforts of Freeman Allen and Marilee Scaff, cochairmen of the Leagues water committee, praising their efforts. Ms. Scaff has been active in addressing water issues for many years and emphasized the point of the effort is to look to the future.

With Padua Park a reality, its time to play ball
here were plenty of smiling faces and bouncing soccer balls at the Padua Park grand opening ceremony. It certainly was a long day coming.
Padua Park is the first sports park to open in the city since June Vail Park in 1982. Some of the park amenities in-
clude 2 full-length soccer fields, one with lights and a restroom, walking trails and natural landscaping. On Saturday morning, the project 20 years in the making was finally unveiled to the public. Over 100 park proponents and sports enthusiasts came out to catch a first glimpse of the pristine grass soccer fields and other park amenities. The crowd was treated to performances by the Claremont High School
Drum Line and Comedy Sportz Team and an El Roble Intermediate School dance team. City officials spoke with pride about the new sustainable park and thanked previous council members,
commissioners and city staff whove dedicated themselves to the project over the years.

Building this park was one of my primary goals when I ran for the council 3 years ago, Mayor Linda Elderkin said. I am so delighted to be here today opening Padua Park with all of you who have worked to see this day finally come to pass. The city had a ribbon cutting and unveiled plaques that detail the parks history and the presence of alluvial sage scrub, a rare and threatened plant native to the area. The children dressed in soccer uniforms, shin-guards and cleats were not so interested in the official ceremony. They were happy to be the first ones on the unblemished grass, kicking soccer balls and rolling down a small hill next to the field. In the afternoon, representatives from the Los Angeles Galaxy, including player Clint Mathis, put on a 2-hour soccer clinic for local AYSO and club team members. Field time at the park will be allocated to local soccer teams beginning in June to let the grass take root, said Mercy Santoro, Director of Human Services for the city. Within the next 2 weeks, outdoor exercise and fitness equipment will be installed at the park. There will be 5 stations of the equipment around the park that can be used for 24 different training exercises. It will be a very nice way for people to walk the trail and get a workout in too, Ms. Santoro said. More park amenities could follow. The city council approved a corporate sponsorship program hoping to fund a playground, a water fountain and other amenities. Back in October 2007, the council initially approved a phased approach to building the park. The city earned an $850,000 grant from the Rivers and Mountain Conservancy to help construct the park. Padua Park covers a total of 22 acres of land. The city is still working on a biological study on 5 acres at the northeastern section of the park as required by the Rivers and Mountain Conservancy.

School garden
by Katie Tenneson and Weston Westenborg
early every Claremont school has a garden of some sort, even if its just a couple of tomato plants in pots.
In the wake of the school budget crisis, there has been a renewed focus on teaching strictly to California State standards. Some believe integrating gardens into curriculums takes away time from learning core subjects such as math and reading. When schools face these budget cuts, programs not directly related to those core classes are often the first to be removed from curriculums in an attempt to focus the limited resources on meeting state standards. While this is done with positive intentions, it diminishes ways of learning and removes essential elements of child development. Gardens and state standards are not mutually exclusive. Regardless of budget cuts, gardens are a very effective tool for holistically teaching all academic subjects, as well as all of the other things we value and want our children to know. Numerous academic studies, articles, and experience from schools have proven that the rewards of school gardens are both tangible and intangible. The tangible ones are easier to quantify; in addition to improving test scores gardens have also been linked to increases in imagination and creativity, and better observation skills. They also change how children interact within the classroom and towards each other, increasing concentration and participation, as
demystifying sustainability
well as reducing violence. In addition to these tangible academic benefits, other learning objectives are met through gardens. These include small skills such as learning to cook nutritious food, healthier eating habits, and familiarity with a variety of vegetables. Additionally, larger, real-world principles of positive land stewardship, excitement about learning, engagement in education, and the ability to make connections between their lives and academic subjects are learned. By watching plants grow in school plots, students understand first-hand that produce is not always shrink-wrapped and purchased from a supermarket. School gardens can be a medium for teaching all academic lessons: planting heirloom varieties of crops can be a lesson about culture and history, grinding flour and baking can be a vehicle for practicing math and fractions, and understanding the processes of compost and photosynthesis can be lessons in chemistry and biology. Children learn through experience. What they know, touch, and love will stick with them far longer than words they glanced at in a book. Its about creating a completely new paradigm for chil-
dren to learn in, including and extending beyond book learning and teaching for success on standardized tests. All of this makes us ask the question, What do we, as the community of Claremont, want our children to know? Do we want them to spend virtually the entire school day indoors concentrating on information measured by standardized tests ? Would we prefer they experience a more comprehensive curriculum in an engaging environment? What works best to help them make connections between new knowledge and their lives? Most Claremont schools are already on the path to providing comprehensive curriculum. Most schools have gardens. All schools have kitchens, cafeterias and mealtimes. All schools have children. Although these things usually exist separately, they are intimately related. Uniting gardens and classrooms fundamentally changes the values we teach and instill in children. Children learn best through participation and handson education, and schools should be beautiful, engaging learning environments that support that. In facing these budget crises and continuing to reevaluate how we structure schools, gardens must be considered essential elements for learning.
Demystifying Sustainability is a project of Sustainable Claremont.

readers comments
names over Obama's healthcare plan? I havent heard any mention of any real points on either side in quite awhile. Most of the writers are Democrats, in effect, asking Republicans Dont you want to stop beating your wife? and Republicans trying to defend themselves or making esoteric points about the Constitution. First off, let me say that I think most people would be quite happy if everyone in the U.S. had quality, affordable healthcare. Unfortunately, our current health care system is the most costly in the world (in terms of both absolute number of dollars and percentage of our economy/GDP) and delivers, based on objective and subjective measurements, some of the worst care among first world/developed countries. The U.S. lags far behind others in such measurements as expected lifespan, presence of debilitating conditions in the population, and quality of life for the terminally ill. The current healthcare bill does nothing about this, it just extends health insurance coverage to many of the currently un-insured. I would be much more in favor of the current plan if it in some way (any way) tried to reduce healthcare costs. For example, I find it appalling that in California of every dollar spent on health care, more than 60 cents goes to pure paperwork (source: Los Angeles Times). If Obamas plan reduced this to even 55 cents it would be a vast improvement over the trend in recent history! Republicans, in general, would love to see everybody have health insurance. But...since, in general, the un-insured are un-insured because they cannot afford health insurance, the rest of us will end up paying for them in one way or the other (higher taxes, higher insurance premiums, greater cost of goods if business must take on the cost, etc.) You cant create/mandate a service for people without paying for it in some way. This is the basic problem that most opponents of the plan have. In a perfect world, if we add 20 percent more people to those with health insurance, and they cant pay for it, the rest of us will see our premiums go up 20 percent. Our world isnt perfect, however, this extra money will probably wash through the government, which is horrendously inefficient at passing tax dollars through to do actual work. Take a look at the incredibly small amount of every dollar spent on welfare that actual gets delivered to someone. So, we might look forward to in-
creased health care costs of 50 percent or morethough they would probably appear as taxes or other costs, not direct payments to the insurance companies. In my opinion the thing we should be working to solve is the cost and quality of our overall health care in the U.S. Not extending a broken system to more individuals. If health care cost one half of what it does todaysay by getting rid of most of the paperwork, I know that is sacrilege but just think about itI believe we would have far fewer un-insured.
Jon Vavrus Claremont
p.s. Now that Ive enraged a lot of people, let me add that, although I am a registered Republican, I am actually a tepid supporter of the current plan, because something (anything) must be done to/with the healthcare system in the U.S. Any change right now is some-

Elementary schools earn distinct academic honors
haparral and Mountain View Elementary Schools were officially confirmed as 2010 California Distinguished Schools last week.
The 2 schools joined 482 other schools throughout the state to receive the award after going through an application process and a campus visit from a validation team. Their selections mark the first time the schools have been named California Distinguished Schools in 8 years. Its been very rewarding and its been the result of deliberate and intentional hard work, said Chaparral Principal Lori Kerns. We have a strong collaboration that includes every staff member, our students and our parents. Its like the old saying goes, it takes a village. Mountain View Principal Clara Arocha has twice as many reasons to celebrate. Not only was Mountain View selected as a 2010 California Distinguished School, but the school recently won a Title I Academic Achievement Award as well. All California Distinguished School winners received a phone from State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack OConnell. I was very excited to hear from him, Ms. Arocha said. The puzzle pieces all came together and it is very exciting. Im very proud of my staff, the kids and their parents. Its our teachers teaching, the kids learning and the parents supporting that makes a difference. Its a big team. The California Distinguished Schools award is part of the California School Recognition Program started in 1986. Schools throughout California must first be nominated before they can apply for the award. Applications must be completed in December before possibly being chosen for a site visit in February. One of the most significant criteria rests on the schools ability to continue closing the achievement gap. In 2009, Chaparral grew 17 points in its Academic Performance Index (API) score to 906 while meeting its Academic Yearly Progress (AYP) requirements for all subgroups and closing the achievement gap of Hispanic/Latino subgroup by 40 points. Mountain Views API score rose 15 points (864) last year and met its Academic Yearly Progress (AYP) goals for all of its subgroups. It is an honor to recognize the schools, and the students, parents, teachers, and administrators who helped earn this most prestigious distinction, said OConnell. The 2010 California Distinguished

Schools have been selected because of their academic excellence and for narrowing achievement gaps. These schools have persevered despite state budget cutbacks that have cut deeply into the budgets of local school districts. Each school had to incorporate 2 signature practices as part of the application process. The validation team then verified the practices during their campus visits. Chaparral focused on Professional Learning Communities and its Head to Heart emphasis for its practices. The Professional Learning Communities feature a strong collaboration of teachers while the Head to
Heart emphasis focuses on connecting students to Chaparral apart from academics. Because Head to Heart is not data driven, its hard to show how making students feel more connected to Chaparral actually increased their performance, Ms. Kerns pointed out. We provide opportunities for students to be leaders and our teachers provide rigor in the classroom. We make sure we keep up with how all of our children are doing. Our kids love coming to school. Ms. Kerns said a misunderstanding of how Chaparrals Head to Heart focus works almost cost the school its recent recognition. Initially declined by the California Department of Education, Ms. Kerns wrote a letter of appeal citing how students connection to the school plays a role in their academic growth. As a result, a validation team visited the campus in March of this year. We had 8 days to prepare for their visitation, the Chaparral principal said. It was like a flurry around here but we thoughtwhen they come to visit us were going to knock their socks off. Mountain View also emphasized Professional Learning Communities, but added Data Driven Instruction for its 2nd signature practice. By utilizing Data Driven Instruction, the Mountain View teachers use student data to help guide how and what they teach their students.

Ms. Arocha welcomed the validation teams visit in order to show the group how Mountain View func-
tions on a day-to-day basis. It was like, this is what you wrote, now show us, she said. When they came, they talked to students, saw the Professional Learning Communities in
action, visited classrooms and saw the work students have done. We passed our visit and it was very exciting.

Song, dance and crafts at the Folk Music Festival
alling all pickers, pluckers and music-lovers. The 29th annual Claremont Folk Music Festival, an annual event offering dance and music workshops and live performances on two stages, will take place Saturday, May 1 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Sycamore Elementary School.
General admission tickets are $15, or $5 for kids age 5-17. Children under five are admitted free with parents, and this years festival will feature many events catering especially to children. The festival is presented by the Folk Music Center in Claremont Village. This years festival will feature three dance workshops including Tango and Salsa, Belly Dancing and Middle Eastern drumming, and West African dance and drumming, each for an hourlong session. There will also be Japanese Taiko drumming. Im excited about all the music that weve got to offer, and that its a real community event said Ellen Chase-Verdries, owner of the Folk Music Center and co-organizer of the event. Her parents, Dorothy and Charles Chase opened the center in 1958, and incorporated the museum as a non-profit and educational enterprise offering field trips and tours, instrument loans for schools, exhibits in schools and libraries and open mic shows. The last festival was last held in May of 2008; it was postponed last year after the retirement of Sycamore principal Tom Cooper. In 1961, the Chases opened the Golden Ring in Claremont, a music caf which became a preeminent venue for folk music in southern California and attracted notable folk musicians including Kris Kristof-

ferson, Brownie McGee and Doc Watson. The musical tradition carried on through the generations; Ms. Chase-Verdries sons, Ben, Joel and Peter, are all accomplished musicians and artists. The museum opened in 1976 and has hundreds of rare musical artifacts from cultures all around the world. This year the festival is returning to its roots. It started in 1979 as a dulcimer festival, said Brian DAmbrosia-Donner, co-organizer of the Claremont Folk Music Festival this year. Our mantra is sort of back to the roots. The festival is being held at Sycamore Elementary where some of the first concerts were performed. Ms. Chase-Verdries said having the festival at the central location seemed like coming home. The festival has featured nationally renowned stars before, but the celebrity presence changed the feel of the festival. Were going back to small, very community based, focused on education, said Mr. DAmbrosia-Donner.
Both organizers are very excited about this years events. There will be maypole dancing (May 1 is May Day) and a ukulele blues and finger picking workshop and performance. Im a ukulele enthusiast and player, said Mr. DAmbrosia-Donner, who is looking forward to ukulele player Lil Rev arriving from the Milwaukee area of Wisconsin. Because of a reorganization, there will be more kids events, including puppet theater, instrument making and storytelling. The Happy Crowd, Otterspace and Uncle Ruthie will all perform. On the main stage, Leon Mobley with Da Lion will perform, with other artists including Yuval Ron, Voco, Cliff Wagner & the Old Number 7 and Squeakin Wheels. There will also be a performance by the Sycamore Elementary student drum-line. This year, the American Museum of Contemporary Art is having a pottery demonstration with ceramic spinning wheels. A prison book project will be selling books as a fundraiser, and the Claremont High School chapter of Invisible Children, an advocacy group for children in war-torn Uganda, will be selling tee shirts. The Bernard Field Station and the Sierra Club will offer environmental activities, continuing the festivals tradition as a family friendly and educational event. Each year, the festival offers culturally diverse music, dance and art. Joel Harper is leading a workshop on the didgeridoo, an Australian instrument. Other workshops will include harp, hammered dulcimer, bluegrass banjo, and song writing. A Martin guitar will be raffled off. Vendors will be selling jewelry, bags, dolls, natural bath and body products, instruments, tin and clay art, water fountains, folk art and recordings. For tickets and more information, you can drop by the Folk Music Center, 220 Yale Ave., call 624-2928, 624-8803 or visit www.claremontfolkfestival.org.

Rotary throws a bash for 11th annual Taste event
he Rotary Club of Claremont knows how to throw a party for a good cause.
Along with 25 restaurants, 9 breweries and wineries and more than 50 sponsors, The Rotary Club of Claremonts 11th Annual Taste of Claremont attracted over 600 people to Taylor Hall on Saturday for a food tasting event that serves as the Rotarys biggest annual fundraiser. Money raised from the event will be used to support polio eradication, provide for the basic needs of people locally and internationally, and help enhance education in the community through efforts such as the Best B.E.T. (Business and Educators Together) grant. This event shows our community spirit, said Ian Stanley, president of the Rotary Club of Claremont. This is a way of having a great party and doing a lot of good things as well. A lot of charities have been having a difficult time so were trying to step in and help them. Were very thankful for all of the restaurants, breweries, wineries and sponsors who participated. The first Taste of Claremont was held in February 1999 at the Seaver House at Pomona College. Approximately 100 people attended the event with the participation of 3 restaurants and one winery.
COURIER photos/Landus Rigsby A Taste of Claremont participants gather at tables under the tent to enjoy their food, wine and beer samples. This year's event attracted more than 600 people.
Saturday's Taste of Claremont event featured 9 different wineries and breweries including Anheuser-Busch, Brandt Family Winery, Dale Bros. Brewery, Hangar 24 Craft Brewery, Joseph Filippi Winery & Vineyards, Los Angeles International Wine & Spirits Competition, Packing House Wine Merchants, Specialty Cellars and Wine Styles.
This year the Claremont Rotary Club put together a 24-person committee to organize the 3-hour event that utilized the Taylor Hall facility and an outside tent area. This years event was chaired by Marc Winter. Casa de Salsa co-owner Judy Flores, restaurant chair of the event, said the planning for each years Taste of Claremont takes place shortly after the previous years fundraiser. When we finish, well rest for a little bit and then start preparing for the next one, Ms. Flores said. We sent out of invitations for the restaurants in November and because I have a lot of friends in the restaurant industry its easier to get them to come because they are good friends of mine. There were actually 8 new restaurants this year. We do a lot of work but its all fun and it is worth it. According to Packing House Wine Merchants owner Sal Medina, the annual occasion not only gives local businesses exposure but also allows them to collaborate with each other. The Packing House Wine Merchants offered several different wines for eventgoers to sample on Saturday. It shows people that we want to give back to the community we own our businesses in, Mr. Medina said. This venue also allows businesses to network with each other. It allows us to get to know them and for them to get to know us. Its great to see old friends and new faces as well. Handing out samples of Buds Famous Chili and peanuts, Heroes and Legends Bar & Grill completed its 10th year of participation in A Taste of Claremont on Saturday. The Claremont establishment also partnered with Anheuser-Busch to offer Widmer Hefeweizen beer on tap. Weve met a lot of regular customers and friendly faces, said Heroes and Legends Bar & Grill owner
Event-goers stop at the Bert & Rocky's Cream Company table to sample ice cream during Saturday night's A Taste of Claremont event.
John Melkonian. It seems like everybody weve seen has already been to our restaurant so this was more of meeting many of them face to face for the first time. The event sponsors provided many of the items for raffles held throughout the evening. Chaparral Elementary School teacher Lauri Harrison was excited to win a pair of earrings worth $1500 from Ben Bridge Jewelers. I put most of my tickets toward the earrings because I wanted to win them and I never win things like this, Ms. Harrison said, excitedly. I am so thrilled. My husband is in the Rotary [of Claremont] and I also wanted to support this event as a teacher. The Rotary gives Best B.E.T. Grants to teachers every year that allow them to do things they couldnt do otherwise. Ive received many Best B.E.T. Grants over the years so I came tonight to support them.

My daughter and I love the COURIER. Thanks so much for your paper. Favorites: [Brenda] Bolinger stories. Obits. Local news stories.
