The kindness of strangers
Dear Editor: SomehowI don't know howI lost a library book. I had it with me in the Village, and I thought I brought it home, but the next morning, it was nowhere to be found. I wasn't looking forward to paying for the book (it wasn't cheap), not to mention all the additional fees. When I checked my library account online, however, lo and beholdthe book had been returned! So to the kind stranger who found the book and returned it to the library: Thank you so much!

The present ruckus

Dear Editor: In your editorial on Saturday [My Side of the Line, March 27th] you ascribed the passionate opposition to the health care reform to opposition to government spending. That is no doubt part of it. But there is more. Frank Rich in todays New York Times put it nicely: If Obamas first legislative priority had been immigration or financial reform or climate change, we would have seen the same trajectory. The conjunction of a black president and a female speaker of the Housetopped off by a wise Latina on the Supreme Court and a powerful gay Congressional committee chairman would sow fears of disenfranchisement among a dwindling and threatened minority in the country no matter what policies were in play. Its not happenstance that Frank, Lewis and Cleavernone of them major Democratic players in the health care pushreceived a major share of last weekends abuse. When you hear demonstrators chant the slogan Take our country back!, these are the people they want to take the country back from. It is not any particular policy, it is that the white right is feeling powerfully disposed right now.

Sore loser
Dear Editor: Douglas Lyon is having a difficult time accepting health insurance reform. In his letter of March 31, Mr. Lyon contends that recent health insurance legislation is the act of a tyranny and a dictatorship and that it represents the personal whims of those in power." It is noteworthy that in his incessant rantings and ravings in the COURIER, Mr. Lyon never acknowledges the importance of open elections in ultimately determining the direction of government policy. He also implicitly rejects the legitimacy of the millions of American voters who determine the outcomes of our elections. His blatant disregard and disrespect of democracy belie Mr. Lyons claims of patriotism. His misrepresentation of our government as a dictatorship only serves to compound the insult to our country. Mr. Lyon strives desperately to distort the middle-of-the-road politics of the recent health care legislation, an essentially centrist bill, the product of political compromise. It is not the single payer program which many liberals promoted. It doesnt even include the tiny public option, which a majority of Democrats wanted. Yet, Mr. Lyon still likes to use the inflammatory phrase socialized health care while complaining, hypocritically, that his political opponents care nothing about reasoned discussion. During the long political campaigns of 2008, President Obama and most of the Democrats in Congress were clear about wanting to bring about health care reform. On election day they received a solid majority of the votes. Then they proceeded to do what the voters elected them to do. It is always hard to be a loser in politics, but that does not warrant misrepresenting reality and denying the legitimacy of democracy. Mr. Lyon, have some faith in your country.

A free people
Dear Editor: In a recent letter to the editor, the writer claimed that the health care reform legislation was unconstitutional. The power to pass such legislation derives from the commerce clause of the Constitution. One can safely conclude that since the health care industry makes up over 17 percent of our economy, the legislation rightfully gets it constitutional mandate from that clause. The history of the Supreme Court has given wide latitude to Congress regarding legislation pertaining to the nations trade and commerce. Tyranny does not come from those who represent us in Congress and from our President but rather it lies in the fear, lies, recriminations and misinformation spewed by those who would deny those in need of health [care] in our society. Tyranny comes from the minority in this country who in the name of liberty would deny our citizens the basic right to be healthy and pursue happiness. There is nothing unconstitutional about our representatives attempting to provide for the general welfare of all Americans. It is high time to stop the hyperbole and remember we are all Americans. There is nothing wrong with lifting a hand to the sick, or being a good custodian of the earth. These are not values that one political party owns. It is time to stop with the hate speech before our Republic is permanently damaged by such reckless thought as claim-

Declaring early on that courts play a really vital role in this country, Justice OConnor, emphasized the importance of standing before an impartial judge. The bigger issue, Justice OConnor argued, is the distrust bred by 3 million dollar donations (to judicial campaigns). It undercuts respect for the judiciary.

Emphasizing the importance of the document, she praised the Declaration of Independence, pointing out Its right there (independence) in the name. And her advice to one question regarding that declaration was decidedly succinct with just a touch of tartness. You go read it and then call me. The event was a part of the Pomona College Distinguished Speaker Series, begun with a seed endowment from the Broe family. Justice OConnor reportedly spent much of the day meeting with students and campus groups.

Former CHS football player to be sentenced next month
star football player for Claremont High School will spend 6 months to one year in jail after agreeing to a plea bargain on Tuesday at a Pomona courthouse.
Tyler Singleton, 18, pleaded no contest to criminal charges alleging he had unlawful sex with 2 fellow students at the high school. Both the girls are minors. In addition to the jail sentence, the Pomona resident will likely pay fines and be on probation for an additional 5 years. Last month, the District Attorneys Office of Los Angeles County filed 2 criminal counts of unlawful sexual intercourse against Mr. Singleton, one felony and one misdemeanor count.
He was arrested in February following allegations that he raped a 14-year-old classmate in a public bathroom in Cahuilla Park near the high school. At the time, Mr. Singleton admitted to having sex with the girl in an interview with police, but claimed it was consensual. Around the same time, the parents of a 15-year-old student came forward saying their daughter had an inappropriate sexual relationship with Mr. Singleton. Prosecutors filed criminal charges of unlawful sex against Mr. Singleton rather than forced sex, which carries a heavier sentence, said Deputy District Attorney Lauren Guber, who is prosecuting the case. The Claremont Police Department did a very thorough investigation and we filed the appropriate charges based on that investigation, Ms. Guber said. Mr. Singleton, a senior, has been the starting running back for the Claremont High School football team since
his sophomore year. He transferred to CHS midway through his freshman year. He was the leading rusher in the Baseline League during the 2008-09 season and was named to the All-Baseline League the past 2 seasons. As part of the plea bargain, prosecutors will recommend that Mr. Singleton take mandatory HIV testing, be barred from making contact with the victims and stay away from Claremont High School, Ms. Guber said. He will not have to register as a sex offender. His sentencing hearing has been scheduled for Wednesday, May 5. At the hearing, Commissioner Wade Olson will hear statements from the parties involved, including victim impact statements, before he determines Mr. Singletons sentence.

Thursday, March 25 A man driving up and down a residential street early in the morning was arrested after a resident called police to report a suspicious vehicle. Around 2:30 a.m., the resident saw the same car driving slowly in the area of Alamosa Drive and Westfield Place. Police responded to the area and located the vehicle. The driver was found to be under the influence of alcohol and in possession of a crack pipe. Michael Calvelli, 42, of Perris was arrested for driving under the influence and possession of drug paraphernalia. He told police he just had an argument with his wife and was driving around to cool off. Saturday, March 27 Two commercial businesses at the Vons shopping center on Base Line Road were burglarized. Burglars entered both businesses sometime between 7 p.m. and 6:20 a.m. by smashing through front windows. The front area of Wonder Nails was ransacked, but shop owners did not report anything missing from the business. Claremont Village Cleaners was also entered and about $100 was missing from the cash register.

Police believe the burglars used a cinder block that was in the parking lot to break the windows and gain entry to the businesses. Police do not have any suspect information but are reviewing surveillance video from the businesses and nearby Vons to gather more information. Sunday, March 28 A man was arrested for having a fake ID after police found him parked in his vehicle on Marygrove Avenue. Around 9:30 p.m., police received a call from a resident on the 300 block of the street reporting a suspicious vehicle parked on the street. Police contacted the driver who produced a false identification card and lied about his identity. Upon further questioning, the man provided police with his real name and admitted to having an outstanding arrest warrant. Yair Jimenez, 21, of Los Angeles was arrested on the warrant and for possession of a false government document. He declined to state what he was doing parked on the street. Police do not suspect him to be involved in the recent burglaries in the area.

They did admit to police to having a working relationship as a pimp and a prostitute, but police did not find them engaging in criminal activity at that time. Johnny Davis, 38, of Fontana and Taryn Dexter, 20, of Newark were arrested for the outstanding warrants and later released on citations. The warrants were for traffic violations.
n Friday March 26, a pimp and a prostitute were arrested after the woman called 911 then attempted to run from police when they responded to her call. At 10:15 a.m., police received a call from the woman, who claimed her pimp was vandalizing her vehicle. When police located the pair on the 700 block of South Mills Avenue, both parties fled on foot in different directions. Police eventually tracked down both individuals and found they had out-

CFA thinks budget reserves can solve budget issues
laremont Faculty Association (CFA) President Suzanne Miller outlined a scenario to the Claremont Unified School District board on Thursday she and other CFA members believe could solve the current district budget crisis.
Entitled the SMART Solution, the proposal calls for the district to tap into its additional reserves over the next 3 years and could allow the district to avoid increasing K-3 class sizes, implementing furlough days and carrying out the Reduction in Force (RIF) process. According to the districts own projections outlined in the March 16 Second Interim Report, the district faces this budget crisis with a healthy reserve and continues to receive a positive certifica-
tion from the [Los Angeles] County Office of Education, Ms. Miller said. As this community has always proven and Superintendent Terry Nichols has often stated, our number one priority is to protect students and staff. This SMART Solution does just that. Ms. Miller said the districts reserves currently total 9.1 percent. The district is required to keep 3 percent of its operating budget as reserves for economic uncertainty. The CFA plan calls for the district to use 6.1 percent of the additional reserves from the 2009-10 school year through the 2011-2012 academic year in order to avoid personnel cuts, continue providing 180 days of instruction and maintain a class size ratio of 24:1 for kindergarten through 3rd grade classrooms. Superintendent Nichols presented a district budget update in his report during the meeting. Referring to the current
climate as unprecedented, he mentioned the district must close a $6 to $7 million deficit by the end of the 2011-12 school year and suggested furlough days as an option for next school year. ccording to Dr. Nichols, CUSD administrators have to take 2 furlough days before the end of the current school year in order to save money for the district. Some of the limited options for the district are dependent on the negotiation process, Dr. Nichols said. We met with CSTA and CFA numerous times and proposed at the bargaining table that as an entire organization, we each take 6 furlough days to close our budget deficit. That way we protect jobs and positions across Claremont Unified. If every person in the district were to take 6 furlough days next year, we could avoid any employee in the Claremont family losing their job.
Reductions or eliminations in district programs and services have affected adult education, K-8 summer school, purchase of instructional materials, the districts entire transportation program and maintenance funding. Seventy-four teachers, counselors and psychologists are still part of the districts RIF process. By using a combination of the 6.1 percent of the districts reserves, raising money to preserve the 24:1 class size and exploring a possible bond or parcel tax, Ms. Miller believes the district can still balance its budget successfully. We must save every day of instruction, she said. We must preserve class sizes. There is a wrong way to solve the budget problem and then there is the SMART Solutionwith no RIFs, with no furloughs and with a balanced budget.

Board to focus on improving community relations
oard members Mary Caenepeel and Jeff Stark outlined a plan that will have the board engaging the community on a greater scale in the near
future. The plan includes having board member teams visiting different service organizations in Claremont in order to solicit feedback on what they value the most about public education. Some of the organizations mentioned were The Rotary Club of Claremont, Kiwanis Club of Claremont, The University Club of Claremont and Claremont Sunrise Rotary. Our goal is to get outto get out to the community and explain the [financial] situation and make sure the public is more aware, Mr. Stark said. During times of crisis, this is what we should be doing. Not sitting back but going forward. So we thought this would be a good start. Claremont Faculty Association Bargaining Chair and Sumner-Danbury teacher Joe Tonan encouraged the board to also reach out to untapped segments of the community. At Sumner, there are 2 sections that really get no representation and that would be the parents from the Roadway Inn and the trailer parks, Mr. Tonan said. So if we can schedule something down there, that would be very helpful. Board recognizes several CHS, El Roble students Twelve students from Claremont Unified School District were awarded with Certificates of Excellence at Thursday nights school board meeting inside the Richard S. Kirkendall Education Center. Claremont High Schools Jonathan Bui, Wesley Chang, Summer Dowd-Lukesh, Seong Soo Lee, Marie Leonard, Anuv Ratan, Sophie Wang and Madeline Zhu were all honored for their recent selections as finalists in the National Merit Scholarship contest. By reaching the semifinal round, the 8 students represented less than one percent of high school seniors throughout the country. Each of the finalists are now eligible for a National Merit Scholarship with winners to be announced starting this month through July. CHS senior Kori Carter was honored for joining approximately 800 black Americans in receiving a $2500 scholarship award as a National Achievement Scholarship recipient. Running concurrently with the National Merit Scholarship Program, the National Achievement

Scholarship Program is designed to provide recognition to outstanding black American high school students. Kori was one of more than 160,000 to enter the contest last year. El Roble Intermediate School students Kate Des Combes, Eden Raviv and Luke Englebert were recognized by the board for winning first place in a Los Angeles County History Day competition at Azusa Pacific University on March 13th. Their 10-minute original presentation on the Trial of John Peter Zengers and its implications for free speech and press made history as the winning performance marked the first time El Roble students have made it to the finals. The trio will continue making history when they participate in the state competition in Pasadena on May 7th. Upcoming statewide events The CUSD board voted to observe the 2010 Day of the Teacher, Classified Employees Week and Public Schools Month at Thursdays meeting. This month is Public Schools Monthan observance founded by the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of California in 1920. The observance is intended to celebrate the contribution of public schools to the American way of life. This years theme is Public Schoolsthe Foundation of Our Democracy. The 2010 Day of the Teacher will be celebrated statewide on May 4th. CUSD will join in the observance to honor its teachers and is planning a reception for teachers who have been with the district for 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 years. We wouldnt be the school district that we are without our teaching staff, said CUSD Board President Hilary LaConte. Certainly, all of them [are] putting in many extra hours, helping our students, engaging themI personally want to say thank you. I also enjoy walking around campuses in our community and seeing students and parents having conversations about school and all the exciting things they are doing. CUSD will join other educational agencies throughout California to celebrate Classified Employees Week from May 17th through the 21st. The district will also
hold a reception for classified employees within CUSD who have worked for the district for 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 years. Board adopts revised bylaws Four board policies were amended or replaced as the result of a unanimous vote by the CUSD board. The district made changes according to the recommendations of the California School Board Association (CSBA). The changes allow district flexibility for Tier 3 categorical programs, provides the board with a new bylaw concerning electronic communications, gives the district the ability to appoint a board member if there is an insufficient number of candidates running for a vacancy, and reinforces the policy that communication between board members on agenda items must be done in person during authorized meetings. Flexibility for Tier 3 categorical programs such as adult education or summer school allows the district to take the funding for those programs and use it for any educational purpose through the 2012-13 school year. Programs cannot be suspended if they are under an existing district contract or bargaining agreement. The new bylaw on electronic communications encourages board members to use electronic devices with caution. Board members are prohibited from using electronic communication to discuss and take action on agenda items outside of authorized meetings. The law does allow board members to use electronic devices to discuss matters other than district business. In case of a board vacancy, an updated bylaw will allow the board to appoint a board member if there is an insufficient number of candidates in a special election. If a vacancy occurs less than 4 months before the end of a board members term, the board will not take action. But if the vacancy occurs 4 months or more before the end of the board members term, the board can order a special election or make a provisional appointment. The final amended bylaw prohibits board members from discussing or taking action on any agenda item outside of an authorized board meeting. The prohibition affects both direct and indirect communication between board members.

James BlaisdellInterpreter of civilization

by Judy Wright
hen James Blaisdell arrived in Claremont on February 11, 1910 on the Santa Fe train to begin his duties as the new president of Pomona College, he brought his wife, Florence Carrier Blaisdell and daughter, Barbara.
Their three boys remained in Beloit, Wisconsin with their grandmother to finish the school year. Charles Burt Sumner tells us that a group of ninety students and faculty were there to meet them. The family was hurried into a horseless double-seater and hauled up the hill like lightning express by the surplus energy of every class and character and taken to the Sumner residence at 105 College Avenue. After a cheer, the students pulled the carriage away rejoicing that Pomona College was no longer decapitated. Blaisdell came to Pomona College at a time of severe financial crisis. He was successful at fund raising, had a strong dean of faculty in Edwin Norton, and a strong and supportive chairman of the board in George White Marston. Blaisdell continued the theme of George Gates The Greater Pomona. He extended Pomona Colleges influence and carried it forward far more successfully than Gates. One of the first things Blaisdell did was to emphasize the importance of the freshmen year at Pomona. With the cooperation of the Claremont school district, he did away with the Pomona College Preparatory School and Claremont started its first high schoolini-
tially in a house on Harrison Avenue and then in its magnificent new building on Foothill at Indian Hill. That action left more slots for freshmen students and Blaisdell emphasized the importance of the first year of college. Matriculation, Wilson Lyon tells us, became at once a cherished part of college life and was hailed as the pledging of loyalty to a new cause, the acceptance of a new honor, and entry into all the benefits, rights and heritages of Pomona College. Blaisdell is best known as the father of the group plan of Claremont Colleges. Perhaps the first decision leading to the group plan was made by the Pomona College Board of Trustees in 1915, when they voted to restrict its enrollment. Pomona was at the time under great pressure to enlarge its student body because of a waiting list of well qualified candidates. Blaisdell, with the support of the Board, wished to limit enrollment in order to capture the benefits of a small liberal arts college. Wilson Lyon reports that President Blaisdell . . . saw college as a life which included influential elements beyond the academic program. He hoped that Pomona students could build friendships that would be both pleasurable and character forming.
That was ten years before the birth of the group plan. Blaisdell tells in his autobiography how he struggled with the gamble of the group concept. I remember well going one evening to the heights overlooking the stretch of land which we did not then possess, but which would be needed for the project, and trying to assess the measure of the task and the certainties of its difficulties as over against the magnificent possibilities. I realized how much my own life and fortune were involved in it. The struggle is severe but the prize is great. It was on that spot and in that hour that I determined to risk the effort. To the community of Claremont, James Blaisdell was much more than the father of the group plan. He is the only president from The Claremont Colleges to have a park named in his honor and its because he influenced the colleges and community. There is also a street and a housing tract, Blaisdell Ranch, built on the never developed site of his planned retirement home. Blaisdell cared about the surrounding community. He said, In time the city of Claremont seems likely to become more closely interwoven with a larger community, but I hope that it may always be a neighborhood...which will retain the distinction as, par excellence...a very unusually stimulating home for a great college[s].
Blaisdell dreamed big dreams. He helped found Pilgrim Place, and he was active in church and community. In his autobiography he tells of joining with a group to purchase the whole foothill area extending from San Antonio Canyon two miles west. This is, of course, now part of Claremonts Wilderness Park. Involvement with the Garners at Padua Hills Theatre apparently led to a program at Pomona College in which teachers from Mexico would study at Pomona during the summer and teachers from Claremont would study at the University of Mexico. Blaisdell also cared about architecture. Notice the structures on the Pomona campus built during his tenure: Bridges Hall of Music, Rembrandt Hall, the College Gates, Mason Hall, Crookshank Hall, and of course the lovely hall, built as a tribute to his wife, Florence Carrier Blaisdell Hall. At a special convocation on the 25th anniversary of Blaisdell coming to southern California and Pomona College, President Robert Gordon Sproul of the University of California said of him: All that has been characteristic of his relationship to education has been typical of his influence upon the religious and secular life of Southern California as a whole, for although devoted without stint to his primary responsibility in building colleges, his interest in the general public good has expressed itself in countless directions. His great devotion has been to humanity and his special horizon this new world of the Pacific. With imagination, modesty, freedom, tolerance, and good will he has stood as a living interpreter of the best that civilization knows. Next month: Florence Carrier Blaisdell
Transit racism: the hidden cost of the Gold Line
aiting on a bench at Los Angeles International Airport, I am impatient for the bus to come. After a long day of travel, my sore body is ready for the comfort of my bed. As the minutes tick by, I check my watch again and again, but the bus doesnt arrive.
For me, a privileged Pomona College student, a late bus is a rare inconvenience. However, for a huge contingent of the L.A. population who, in the auto capital of the world, depend on the citys bus system to attend school, go to work, shop for everyday necessities and access medical care; the reliability, availability, and affordability of public transportation is crucial to daily life. Due to the high cost of bus fare, these bus riders are frequently forced to choose between food, medical care, rent, and electricity. This problem of the inner city might seem distant from the small town of Claremont. However, one of the same systems which exacerbates injustice and inequality in the poor neighborhoods of Los Angeles is simultaneously working to benefit residents of the surrounding suburbs. This phenomenon is known as transit racism, and the organization which perpetuates it in Los Angeles County is the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. Therefore, as a member of Claremont for Transit Justice, I am against the extension of the Gold Line, despite the benefits the MTA claims it will provide. The MTAs recent resolution to use $690 million to fund a new Metrolink line to Azusa is the latest of a series of decisions made over the last few decades that prioritize rail expansion at the cost of bus riders. The MTA has historically cut bus service and increased bus
view point
fares to raise funds to pay back capital debt for the loans taken out to fund the construction of rail lines. Construction on the Azusa line is planned to begin this June and bus fares are scheduled to be raised in July. The MTA plans to pay for a train line that will serve middle to upper class residents of the suburbs by increasing the cost of public transportation for those who depend on it and need it the most: urban, working-class people of color, 60 percent of whom are women. Bus riders, who reside predominantly in the inner city, are 58 percent Latino, 22 percent black, 8 percent Asian American/Pacific Islander, and 12 percent white, while the largely suburban population of Metrolink riders is approximately 50 percent white. Working class bus riders have much lower incomes than those who ride the Metrolink. However, it is bus fares, not Metrolink, that are being increased to raise funds to construct a train that costs $250 million per mile to build. These fares were first raised in the summer of 2007. The proposed increase for July 2010 would change the price of a monthly pass from $62 to $75. An increase of $13 may seem trivial to some, but, for a single, working class mother of three the annual cost of her own and her school age childrens transportation will be at minimum $1,236, assuming her children do not use public transportation during the summer. If shes part of the 75 percent of bus riders who make $12,000 to $20,000 a year, (compared with the $77,000 made annually by a Metrolink rider), her familys an-
nual transportation could cost 10.3 percent of her income. Bus passengers are being forced to pay more to travel to work and school for the construction of a line that will benefit the richer, whiter residents of the Los Angeles suburbs. Residents of these suburbs would then have the option to utilize a local train line, when it was convenient for them, unlike transit-dependent inner-city residents, for whom the bus system is their only means of transportation. Asking the transit-dependent working class to pay for a train line that will serve the suburban middle class is completely unethical and morally reprehensible. But its what the MTA has been doing and will continue to do if they are not stopped. There are over 6,000 Claremont College students who would benefit from the extension of the Gold Line at the expense of the poorest residents of Los Angeles. The MTA sees all of these students as potential Gold Line riders. Students, therefore, are in a position to exercise an extraordinary amount of political power at very little personal risk. As a member of Claremont for Transit Justice, I plan to use this opportunity to the fullest extent. If enough students tell the MTA that we wont ride a train line financed by an unjust fare increase, they just may be forced to listen.

team.
he national championship is once again in the hands of the Claremont High School Wolfgang hip-hop
Wolfgang captured its first championship since 2007 when the team won the Small Hip-Hop category at the United Spirit Association (USA) Spirit and Dance/Drill Nationals in Anaheim last weekend. The winning routine was an energetic number featuring fast-paced movements and music. Claremont defeated 2nd place San Clemente and 3rd place San Marcos to win the title. It was an amazingly done performance, said Wolfgang coach Erica Ojeda. We were all crying and we were all a mess when we finished. For Wolfgang co-captain Nikki Harris, the championship represents the culmination of hard work over the past 4 years. After winning the national title in the Medium Hip Hop category in 2007, the Wolfgang did not field a competitive team in 2008 and then returned in 2009 to nationals with a 7th place finish. Its surreal because I was on the team when we won the national championship my freshman year and then when we didnt have a team competing the next year, it was devastating, Nikki recalled. But we came back and we showed that we are a strong team and this experience was one of the most amazing things in my life.

Bug off
by Mellissa Martnez
s the weather warms, many of us look forward to outdoor parties. Full of convivial conversation and lively music, spring soirees are a perfect way to share our maturing gardens and blooming buds. No matter how much time we devote to the guest list there is invariably a group who swarm in uninvited. Generally unwelcome, this pesty company hordes food, sips from random glasses and rarely has much to say.
Mosquitoes, flies, earwigs and an assortment of other undesirables are an inevitable part of the season. On the other hand, some more preferable insects like dragonflies, ladybugs and butterflies also make appearances. Why do we like some bugs while disdaining others? Why can a person bug us while a cuddle bug delights us? Maybe words have something to do with it. Perhaps the etymology of entomology can cast some light. Unarguably, the biggest bully of the group is the persistent mosquito. If you feel threatened by this dartlike buzzer, you are not alonethe itchy irritation caused by this menace is scorned the world over. The word mosquito derives originally from Latin musca fly and the diminutive suffix -et. The same name, musket, was given to the small bird of prey known now as the sparrowhawk, who was considered a tiny yet mighty hunter. This led to the use of the term musket for an arrow and crossbow and eventually the infantry gun, musket. Musketeer, a soldier who carries a musket, musket, and mosquito all began as Latin musca, fly. Although the mosquito earns its nefarious reputation by spreading the likes of swine flu and malaria to the unsuspecting human, the earwig has suffered unjustly. Its name is derived from Old English ar ear and wicga wiggle. The old folk tale, which led people to believe that this pincer-equipped rascal snuck into human ears and wiggled its way into the brain,
LEX IN THE
CITY
was completely untrue. If an earwig ever found its way into an ear it was probably just looking for a dark and warm place to cozy up. Despite this falsehood, the story has shaped the name of this relatively innocent creature across many languages and geographies consider French perce-oreille ear-piercer, German ohrwurm ear worm, and Russian ukhovrtka ear turner. Most beetles share similar misfortune regarding their reputation. The word beetle, from the French btan to bite, is a warning meaning little biter. Two cousins of beetle are bite and bitter. Despite these not-so-nice associations, the word beetle has enjoyed some success in the world. The Beatles, in fact, were originally named The Beetles and the once ubiquitous German Volkswagen (referred to fondly as the Bug) made the name Beetle sound cute and hip for some time. There is one little beetle that has altogether escaped the negative connotations of its buggy brethren. This little lady shares universal acceptance as a regal and beautiful addition to any outdoor event. It is said that the lady of ladybug comes from the Virgin Mary. In the 1600s, ladybugs were honored because of the presumption that they ate harmful insects. A bug of such value could only be referred to as a lady, even the males. Another creature that enjoys worldwide popularity
is the beauteous butterfly. Still disputed is the question of who put the butter in butterfly. One sweet tale claims that butterflies appear in the spring, which is the season that butter is churned. Another explanation stems from medieval folklore. Fairies were said to be fond of butter. In order to steal butter in the dark of night, they would disguise themselves as beautiful flies, which people referred to as butterflies. Although this seems reasonable, the least palatable explanation seems to be the most widely believed. Reliable sources contend that the butterfly was named for its excrement; the yellow droppings of this colorful flyer share an uncanny resemblance to butter. Another fancy flyer that zooms around ponds and pools in the spring is the dragonfly. Although named for its resemblance to a dragon (big bug eyes and a fuzzy long neck), this fly has many aliases in the United States. In some parts of the South, it is called a snake doctor or snake feeder because of the belief that it cares for snakes. In lower states like Mississippi, the dragonfly enjoys the epithet of mosquito hawk, mosquito fly or skeeter hawk. The New Englanders prefer to call it a darner or darners needle, and those on the New Jersey coast refer to this flying dragon as a spindle. Clearly not all bugs invoke our shooing instinct. Although scary in appearance, some manage to escape our full wrath. Could it be that we are less inclined to target daddy-long-legs because of its friendly name? If we referred to it by its given name, crane fly, perhaps those slow floating bugs would meet the sole of a shoe more often. The ambivalence in our love-hate relationship with bugs emerges in our culture and language. We can tell someone to bug off, yet we love to dance the jitterbug. Someone can be as cute as a bugs ear or comfy as a bug in a rug, yet nobody wants a bug in the system or a bugged phone. Perhaps this spring its time to ponder to the winged creature perched on the lip of our glass. Lets consider the wonder of its presence and take a second look. Share the space, shoo softly and do your best to not get bugged.

Helen Williamson
Former longtime Claremont resident Helen Williamson died in San Dimas on March 18, 2010 after several years of declining health. At 91, Ms. Williamson remained alert and conversational until close to her death, enjoying family and friends and recollecting the many pleasures of her 9 decades of life. Born Mildred Helen Diemer to Robert B. and Mildred S. Diemer on June 18, 1918 in Riverton, Wyoming, Ms. Williamson moved with her family throughout Wyoming, Texas and California during her childhood as they followed her fathers civil engineering career. They ultimately settled in California in 1929. Though her fathers career necessitated new beginnings in innumerable homes and schools, she respected and was very proud of his professional accomplishments. Ms. Williamson first fell in love with Claremont as a student at Pomona College from where she graduated in 1939. Having relocated so often in her youth, the 4 years she spent at Pomona represented the longest time she had spent in one place until then. During her time there, she took pleasure in competing in sports. Pomona College remained a special place in Ms. Williamsons memories and, throughout her later years, when insomnia kept her awake into the night, she sang herself to sleep with her schools Alma Mater, Hail, Pomona, Hail The college mascot Cecil Sagehen would be proud, noted her son, Bob
teacher, community volunteer, proud Pomona College alumna

marrying Norman Williamson, Jr., a businessman and lieutenant commander in the US Naval Reserve. They had a son, Robert John Williamson, and were married for 53 years, most of which were spent in Claremont, before Mr. Williamsons death on November 1, 2001. At the Broadoaks School of Pasadena, Ms. Williamson earned a teaching credential and subsequently taught elementary school at the Broadoaks Kindergarten-Primary Training School in Pasadena (now Broadoaks Childrens School of Whittier College). Other employment during her lifetime included working as a Pomona College student representative in Bullocks Department Stores Collegian Department in Los Angeles, as a United Airlines ticket agent in Los Angeles during World War II and as a bookkeeper for the Pomona Valley Credit Bureau. Her true passion was volunteer work, Giving back to my community, as she called it. While raising her sons, she volunteered in their schools PTAs and contributed countless hours to the Assistance League of Pomona Valley, helping to establish a hearing and speech center for deaf children. She also volunteered with the LA Philharmonic Orchestras Music Mobile, bringing music education to schoolchildren throughout the Inland Empire, and with the Pomona College Alumni Association. Interested in local and national politics, Ms. Williamson was very active in Republican Party activities. But despite her lifelong affiliation with the Republican Party, she was an outspoken supporter of President Barack Obama. Traveling brought joy to Ms. Williamson and she took more than 30 international trips during her lifetime. She also loved golf, music, cribbage and, most of all, her family, who share mutual feelings. We all love you mom! expressed Ms. Williamsons family. Ms. Williamson is survived by her sons and daughters-in-law, Mike and Lois Parker and Bob and Joan Williamson; her stepdaughter, Linda Williamson; her 4 grandchildren, Amy Leah Parker and Scott Diemer Parker, Clare Elise Williamson Larkins and her husband Collin Larkins and Kate Amber Williamson; and her one niece and 3 nephews. She was predeceased by her sister, Betty Jane Diemer-Dederer-Casson, and her brother, Robert Speas Diemer. A graveside service was held on March 22, 2010 at Oak Park Cemetery, followed by a reception at Pomona Colleges Seaver House. Memorial donations may be made to a Pomona College student scholarship fund established in her memory. Checks can be made out to Pomona College and mailed to 333 N. College Way, Claremont, CA 91711. Please note in memory of Helen Williamson, Student Scholarships on the memo line.
Williamson. Sagehen to the end. Chirp, chirp. After graduation, Ms. Williamson met George A. Parker, a soon-to-be commissioned officer in the Army Air Corps. In 1941, they married the day after Lieutenant Parker received his wings and, in 1942, they gave birth to a son, George Michael Parker, on their first wedding anniversary. While on a combat mission in the China/Burma/India Theatre with the 14th Air Force, Major Parker, having risen in the ranks, was killed on a mission on July 23, 1944. Ms. Williamson wed a second time,

COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff In addition to daily newspapers, Claremont attorney John Tulac enjoys reading history and science fiction.
Who? John Tulac, international business attorney and professor Recent reads: Frequently hunkering down with books, news magazines and newspapers for more than 3 hours a day, Mr. Tulac devours reading material. Aiding his consumption is a speed-reading course he completed years ago. There are times when I can really turn it on for certain kinds of materialbecause of the training, a technique that anyone can learn, I read at triple, quadruple the normal reading speed, and for me, thats normal pace, he explained, noting that he varies his pace depending on the type of material hes reading. But I admit, I saw my daughters AP physics book, and I couldnt understand a word of it, and thats at any speed. A fiction and nonfiction devotee, Mr. Tulacs recently finished Out of My Skin: A Novel by John Haskell. The novel arrived in his life through his book club, a monthly gathering of friends started more than a decade ago among fellow parents of Sycamore Elementary School students. Out of My Skin tells the sometimes depressing, sometimes funny story of a self-loathing, insecure, lonely writer who abandons his own persona in favor of impersonating Steve Martin. Finding confidence and a new ease in dealing with lifes troubles in this manner, the impersonation becomes all-consuming. Not only did I prefer [being] Steve, I was seeing my old self as a hindrance, notes the main character. But relying on his pseudo-Steveness causes a slew of complications, most poignantly in a love affair and in his understanding of self.
Though a good book for discussion, Mr. Tulac described it as pretty much a waste of time. Well, I shouldnt say waste of time, it was clever, short, an easy read. It had its moments, he said. But anything that makes Woody Allen look normal youve got to wonder about. A fan of science fiction since childhood, Mr. Tulac also recently breezed through Flood by Stephen Baxter. The work of apocalyptic fiction describes massive, global flooding and details the final 42 years of dry land on earth, unfurling humankinds dawning understanding that they are doomed to drown. Its an interesting take on global warming, dealing with the theory that theres a great deal of fresh water trapped in earth, more than conventional theories account for, so we could eventually enter an era when oceans rise because this deeply reservoired water gets released, Mr. Tulac explained. It deals with the literal transforming of the earth as the waters rise and rise. Daily, Mr. Tulac reads several newspapers, including the Los Angeles Times and the Wall Street Journal; and, weekly, he pours through numerous news magazines: Time, US News and World Report, Newsweek, The Economist and The Week. Currently reading: A reader of many tastes, Mr. Tulac frequently gravitates to books about history and is presently in the pages of Kenneth Stampps America in 1857: A Nation on the Brink, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in its publication year. Generating rave reviews, America in 1857 takes an intricate look at this pivotal year in our country, describing events and people and tensions leading to the Civil War. Its a scholarly work, and quite good, Mr. Tulac said. A member of the board of trustees of the Don Bosco Technical Institute, a college-prep high school in Rosemead, and currently the schools acting president, Mr. Tulac is also reading Transforming School Culture: How to Overcome Staff Division by Anthony Muhammad. Involved in the presidential search and actively dealing with faculty and administrative issues as acting president, he is drawing insight from this book, which offers intelligent approaches to and philosophies on creating healthy schools and subsequent improved learning for students. This book is really fascinating, said Mr. Tulac, who has taught at Cal Poly, Pomona for more than 30 years.
Favorite book: I just dont know how to answer that one, said Mr. Tulac, echoing the stumped response of numerous past Bookmarkers. Favorite book nooks: Mr. Tulac obtains his reading material from a variety of sourcesAmazon.com, Borders, the library, etc.and named several favorite haunts from the past, independent establishments now long gone. A Change of Hobbit in Westwood is one, a joint with every science fiction title you could imagine, he said. And now, in possession of a Kindle, an electronic device developed by Amazon.com, he has access to endless e-books and other digital media at the touch of a few buttons: a library in his hands. Though a fan of the gadget, some traditional pleasures just cant be beat. Theres just something about settling in with a newspaper and holding it just so, he said. You cant replicate that on the Kindle. Favorite places to read: At home, Mr. Tulac nestles into a large chair that tips back for ultimate comfort, or opts to lounge on a love seat, like a high school kid, he joked, with my head at one end and legs dangling off the other. Around town, Mr. Tulac might be spotted enjoying lunch with his loyal companions: a book, magazine or newspaper. Or, if weather entices and time allows, he may stroll around the college campuses or Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, seeking the perfect bench for an hour of two of reading (which, for the enthusiastic speed-reader, could mean the demolishing of an entire book, or 5). Passing down the passion: Mr. Tulac carries fond memories of book-time with his 3 daughters, all of whom are in their 20s and share their fathers reading fervor. I think one thing Im proud of is that from the time the girls were really tiny we read to them, and I really enjoyed that. I miss some of those books we read out loud, he said. They became good readers because they enjoyed the of experience of reading as children.

our local teenagers from Boy Scout Troop 403 achieved the rank of Eagle Scout on Tuesday night at a ceremony at the Presbyterian Church of Claremont.
Assistant scout master Remy Piibe called the feat a unique accomplishment for the young men. I think only about 4 percent of all scouts ever became Eagle Scouts, Mr. Piibe said. So for 4 from our troop to reach the rank all at once is special. We normally only have one or two every year. An Eagle Scout is the highest rank that can be achieved in the Boy Scouts of America. To become an Eagle Scout, the young men must earn 24 merit
badges, take exams and participate in a final project involving community service. The new Eagle Scouts are Kyle Buerba, 18, of Upland, James Croughan, 18, of Claremont, Quinn Piibe, 17, of Claremont and Anton Russell, 16, of Claremont. For their final projects, the scouts did landscaping and tree planting projects at local parks and churches. To become an Eagle Scout shows a great degree of leadership in these young man, Mr. Piibe said. The core values of the scouts have been instilled in them as teenagers. Most Eagle Scouts end up doing very well in life. Troop 403 meets about 3 or 4 times a month and has regular outdoor activities such as hiking, backpacking trips or rock climbing. There are currently about 25 member of the troop ranging in age from 11 to 18.

NOTICE OF A PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING THE SALE OF REAL PROPERTY ON BASE LINE ROAD EAST OF TOWNE AVENUE IN THE CITY OF CLAREMONT BY THE CLAREMONT REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY TO CITY VENTURES LLC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Claremont Redevelopment Agency Board will hold a public hearing to consider a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the Agreement) between the Claremont Redevelopment Agency (the Agency) and City Ventures LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The Agreement is for the sale of real property located on the south side of Base Line Road, approximately 1000 feet east of Towne Avenue in the City of Claremont. It is more particularly described as assessor parcel numbers 8669-019-904, 8669-020-904, and 8669-020-905. The PUBLIC HEARING will be on Tuesday, April 13, 2010 beginning at 7:00 p.m. and will be held in the City Council Chambers located at 225 West Second Street, Claremont, CA 91711. Copies of the Agreement are available for public review in the City Clerks Office located at City Hall, 207 Harvard Avenue. For additional information on the Agreement, please call Brian Desatnik, Housing and Redevelopment Manager, at (909) 399-5342. Interested persons are invited to appear and be heard at the public hearing on the matter. Failure to raise issues related to the Agreement prior to or at the above-referenced public hearing may constitute a waiver of rights to raise the issues at a later date. In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), if you need special assistance to participate in the scheduled meetings, please contact the city clerk at (909) 399-5461 VOICE or (800) 735-2929 TT/TTY. Notification three working days prior to the meeting or time when special services are needed will assist City staff in assuring that reasonable arrangements can be made to provide access to the meeting. Publish: March 27, 2010 and April 3, 2010 7:00 p.m. The subject property has a General Plan designation of Institutional and an underlying zoning designation of Institutional Educational. The current Los Angeles County Assessors Parcel Number for the property is 8306-008-045. On March 2, 2010, the Planning Commission approved Harvey Mudd Colleges (HMC) request to subdivide the approximately eleven acres into four parcels. The property in question is located north of the frontage road on the north side of Foothill Boulevard between College and Dartmouth Avenues. Harvey Mudd College has indicated that Parcels 2 and 3 will be restricted from development based on internal agreements within the Colleges. At some point, HMC will sell Parcels 3 and 4 to the Claremont Graduate University. No development plans for any of the parcels have been identified at this time. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15315, the Community Development Director determined that the proposed application is exempt from the provisions of CEQA because the project involves division of property into four (4) parcels that are consistent with local regulations and the General Plan, and the property has access to all services. The purpose of the parcel map is to create lots for sale within the Claremont Consortium. The act of subdividing the land to create legal parcels for sale will not result in significant physical impacts on the environment. It is the future development that may have impacts on the environment. However, it is unknown what type and intensity of development that might potentially be proposed on the parcels. Any future proposals on Lots 1 and 4 (Lots 2 and 3 will be restricted from development) will undergo their own environmental review at the time of proposal. Therefore no additional environmental review is needed at this time. The application and tentative parcel map are on file with the Planning Division located at Claremont City Hall, 207 Harvard Avenue, and are available for interested parties to review. City Hall is open Monday through Thursday, 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Interested persons are invited to comment on the proposal by writing to City Planner Lisa Prasse, City of Claremont, P.O. Box 880, Claremont, CA 91711-0880, or by calling (909) 399-5470. In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, any person with a disability who requires a modification or accommodation in order to participate in a City meeting should contact the City Clerk at (909) 399-5461 VOICE or 1 (800) 735-2929
