No bus for us
Dear Editor: We simply cannot afford Measure CL. There should be no new school bonds approved before the existing one is paid off. In 10 years we have only paid off roughly $10 million of Measure Y, so how can we afford a new bond for $95 million? The interest alone is staggering. We are on a fixed income and already pay more than our share for refurbishing Claremont schools, especially since we have no students enrolled. The well is dry. We must all learn to live within our means.

Dear Editor: I received a call tonight from a friendly Measure CL education bond campaigner. I listened to the mini-speech about how the state isnt providing enough money to our schools, why we need this and ending with, did I value education? Yes, I value education. I was an ardent supporter of the $48.9 million Measure Y back in 2000 and the grass roots Save Our Schools campaign that raised over $650,000. What some newer residents may not realize is that Measure Y passed, we celebrated, work began on some of promised projects and then stopped. We received a beautiful gym for the junior high, many classroom upgrades and desperately needed science labs. We even received a football and track field for athletics and graduations [at the

high school], unfortunately without the bleachers. One of my daughters was the first class to graduate at the high school in 2003. I sat in a plastic chair because the people who bought condos adjacent to a high school athletic field didnt want bleachers. We still owe over 30 million on Measure Y. Where did all that go? The promises made were not kept. We still have one of the saddest excuses for a high school theater in Southern California. How many people realize the theater was meant to be a lecture hall, not a theater? A multiuse theater is more than a place for thespians to have lunch. The theater is only one of a number of promises not kept [with Measure Y], but the most glaring one in my eyes. I recall talk at a meeting of having the theater teacher raise several million dollars extra to help with the remodel. Uh, yah, right. If the very successful Save Our Schools campaign with hundreds of active volunteers could only raise $650,000, it is a slap in the face to think one teacher could raise three times that. I was under the impression that a bond measure was something used for special projects. The articulate caller mentioned teacher salaries. We want well paid teachers so we can attract the best. Low teacher salaries push all the right campaign buttons, but that isnt something bond money is used for, is it? Am I wrong? How could we possibly keep up higher salaries down the line without yet another bond measure? Explain this to me. I will not be voting for Measure CL. That makes me sad. There is a chance I could change my mind. You have a little over a month to do it.

I want to know exactly what the plans are for Measure CL money. I want to hear that the promised improvements not done under Measure Y are the first things completed with the money from Measure CL. After all, 90 plus million is twice the money of Measure Y. We should be swimming in money then. Tell mein writing. Make a list. Publicize it. Put your name on it. This nebulous, We need more money, may be true, but even I have to make a budget for where my money will go. How can you assure me that the money is spent the way it is promised? Who will oversee it this time? What special interest groups are vying for the proceeds? The disappointment felt from promises not kept, and the fact that I am still paying for Measure Y, means I need a bit more convincing than a flyer with a childs shiny face.

City looks for new options for vacated warehouse

T
ration.

he odd man out amid the shops and restaurants of Village West has always been Rich Product Corpo-

Located on the north side of First Street across from the Packing House, the factory produces and distributes dessert toppings and other food products a stark contrast from the retail atmosphere surrounding it. As of the end of June, Rich Product Corporation ended its operation in Claremont. A company spokesperson did not return multiple messages seeking comment about the companys decision to leave the site and future plans. According to Community Development Director Brian Desatnik, the company decided to consolidate its Claremont operation with other factories on the west coast. The newly vacated land opens the door for the city and a private developer to consider new options for developing the 1.7 acre site. This property is sort of the final piece of the puzzle in the whole recent Village [West] development, said project broker Sean Kern of Cushman Wakefield in Ontario, who is shopping around the land. Maybe now is not the best timing to sell on a macro-economic level but this is a good site and surrounding area so I believe a number of interested parties will rise to surface to take a look at it. Mr. Kern said his company has just started the marketing process on the land and they have already generated some interest from different parties.

COURIER photos/Chris Guzman The Rich Products Corporation factory, right, on First Street and Oberlin Avenue in Claremont, closed at the end of June. The city of Claremont is pushing for redevelopment of the property which could include a mix of retail and residential units.

Mr. Desatnik said the city would like to see a commercial development there or some kind of combination commercial/residential development. But the economic conditions may not be ideal yet for a major developer to take over the land. Its a really tough time to finance new development, particularly this type of downtown development, Mr. Desatnik said. It may take quite some time to happen on that property until the economy has really turned around. Parking will also be an issue for any new developer, who would need to provide parking on-site. There is no extra parking in the area or in the parking garage so they will to have to either provide more surface parking or parking underground, he said. Richs Product Corporation has operated at the site since the early 1980s. With trucks hauling away delivery goods early in the morning, the factory was never a good fit with residential and commercial

properties. We made the best of it, Mr. Desatnik said. Due to complaints in previous years, the city came to a Memorandum of Understanding with the company that quieted down their early morning operation significantly and few complaints came in after the agreement. Still, the city will have a keen interest in seeing a successful development take over the site in the future with so much effort put into the Village West project. It is in a designated redevelopment area, but wed have to evaluate our resources as they are pretty limited right now because of the state takeaways, Mr. Desatnik said. Unfortunately, our ability to assist in these kinds of projects is really limited.

Senate education bill signed, CUSD to receive funding

laremont Unified School District will be one of thousands of school districts throughout the state to reap the benefits of the newly passed Senate Bill (SB) 847.
Lieutenant Governor Abel Maldonado signed the bill into law on September 10th while Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger was in Asia. With the bill passed, the California Department of Education can now allocate $1.2 billion from the federal Education Jobs Fund to help save an estimated 16,500 education jobs. I applaud Governor Schwarzenegger and Lt. Governor Maldonado for getting the job done on behalf students, teachers, and schools that have been battered by years of budget cuts, said State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack OConnell in a released statement. The signing of these 2 bills into law could not have come at a better time, just as millions of students go back to school. These funds will save and protect thousands of important jobs in California schools and provide the dual benefit of stimulating our economy, and helping students reach their full potential. The recent action is a continuation of a federal ed-

ucation measure passed on August 10th by the U.S. House of Representatives. The measure allocated $10 billion for education funding and was meant to retain, recall, or rehire former employees and to hire new employees to provide early childhood, elementary, or secondary educational services. Along with funding salaries for educational related employment, the funds can be used to cancel out furlough days and add school days back on the calendar. The funds cannot be used to establish or supplement rainy day funds, reduce or retire state debt, or supplant state funds to either supplement a rainy day fund or retire state debt. Earlier projections indicated that CUSD was slated to receive $1,333,712 but at the September 2nd CUSD board meeting CUSD Assistant Superintendent of Business Services Lisa Shoemaker said the amount may be closer to $1 million. She also added the money CUSD receives would not be used for administrators. This is for restoration of teachers, Ms. Shoemaker said. Its one-time money and it is site based as well. Our employees have made generous concessions so we have to restore as much of that as we can. The federal bills are designed to fill the gap. The present agreement between CUSD and the Claremont Faculty Association has the certificated

employees (teachers, counselors, nurses) paying $3000 into a benefits pool over the next 2 years. Some of the money from SB 847 would be used to restore money being paid into the pool. Assembly Bill (AB) 185 is another bill signed into law by Lt. Governor Maldonado that allows the state to distribute federal education funds to districts. Approximately $904 million will be spent for districts with schools in the School Improvement Grant program and for Phase II of the State Fiscal Stabilization Fund program designed to stabilize local school budgets. CUSD Superintendent Terry Nichols said the district has been given notice that the funds should be available soon. We did get a notice from the state, in fact is it stated the checks in the mail, Superintendent Nichols said at last Thursdays board meeting. Our Lt. Governor, once [Gov. Schwarzenegger] left the state, did sign the bill that would allow the federal monies to begin to be sent to local education agencies (LEA). Were hoping in the next couple of weeks well see some top of money begin to flow to the LEAs. For information on the 2 bills, visit the California Department of Education website at www.cde.ca.gov.

ust a few weeks into the school year and the incoming Harvey Mudd College class has already made history by being the most unique group to enter the school.
For the first time in Harvey Mudds 55-year history, women are the majority in the schools incoming class, outnumbering the incoming male students by a 102-95 margin (52 percent). We are really excited by this class of 2014. The college is still fairly young, but this represents a major change from the first 3 decades (or more) for the college, HMC Director of Admission Peter Osgood. Since our prior classes were closer to 40 percent women, the rise to over 50 percent in this years enrolling class is a bit of a welcome surprise. We hope the trend will continue. According to Mr. Osgood, the current senior class was 43 percent female when it was the incoming class 3 years ago. Yet the incoming classes of 2012 and 2013 featured a lower percentage of female students at around 40 percent. Earlier this year, the American Association of University Women released a study about present trends of women in fields of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). The study reported that 29 percent of male freshmen compared with 15 percent of female freshmen planned to major in a STEM field in 2006. Statistics from the National Science Foundation indicated that men were awarded 138,874 bachelor degrees in science and engineering fields compared with 88,371 for women. Yet HMC President Maria Klawe believes that Harvey Mudd College is beginning to set its own trend. Part of HMCs reputation is built on providing a strong academic focus in the STEM fields. Like the other top science and engineering schools, over the last decade, Harvey Mudd College has worked hard to increase the diversity of its student body in order to provide a better learning environment for all of our students, Ms. Klawe said in a released statement. This year, we celebrate our first incoming class with as many females as males, marking significant progress from the late 1990s when only 20 percent of our students were women. Growth in its female population has been an ongoing story for HMC. President Klawe became the first female president of Harvey Mudd College in 2006. The HMC student body is currently 42 percent female (322 students)a significant increase throughout the colleges 5 decades. HMC freshman Sami Koo is excited to be part of the historic class of 2014 and hopes the school can continue to attract a high volume of female students. She may major in chemical engineering, but is currently keeping her options open. Though I did believe that the ratio [between male and female] would even out eventually, I did not think that it would happen in my year. When I heard that we are the first ever female majority class at HMC, I felt so proud to be part of this special class, Ms. Koo said. I think this signifies that the common label that society has put on science as being a male occupation has finally deteriorated. I think its remarkable that all of the female engineers, mathematicians, and scientistsincluding my fellow classmateslooked past these limits to follow their dreams. Fellow freshman Carolina Reyes believes her incoming class represents how universities such as HMC are headed in a good direction in attracting women to STEM academic pathways. The fact that so many girls applied and got accepted into Mudd indicates that not as many people believe that boys are inherently better at math and science than girls, she said. Girls are being encouraged to pursue math or science degrees if thats what they enjoy studying. The change in attitude will hopefully continue and women will feel more comfortable becoming engineers, mathematicians, computer sci-

entists, physicist, etc. The new trend has been a welcome change for HMCs male student population as well. Freshman Jack Ma believes the increase of women on campus benefits the college. I like itgender diversity for the win. And I cant complain, Mr. Ma said. I definitely did not see this coming. I was shocked about this statistically significant ratio [when I heard about it]. Mr. Osgood believes several factors led to the rise in female enrollment. He indicated that the college had a larger pool of students to select from this year,

that 35 percent of the HMC faculty are women and that students from this years incoming class were embraced by HMC students hosts. Women have almost always been under-represented in STEM schoolsquite the opposite of the trend at traditional liberal arts colleges where women tend to be the majority, Mr. Osgood explained. So our ability to enroll a class with majority women is a nice declaration of HMCs attractiveness and coolness.

he Claremont Cottages apartment complex on San Jose Avenue has come under the spotlight recently due to reports of crime problems and code violations.

COURIER photos/Steven Felschundneff A pile of discarded items sit behind a dumpster on Monday at the Claremont Cottages apartment complex on West San Jose Ave in Claremont. A recent inspection of the complex by Claremont code enforcement turned up several violations however the management company has corrected many reported problems.

Sometimes we dont know why kids are upset when they come to school and some of those things absolutely relate whats happening at home and whats happening in the conditions where they live, Mr. Yeager said. Working with the Committee for Safe and Healthy Housing, the Claremont Police Department has also become involved in the effort to clean up the citys apartment complexes. Since 2009, the Department has begun tracking crime statistics at the citys 27 different multifamily housing complexes. Claremont Police Detective Aaron Fate said the statistics allow the department to determine whether more resources need to be channeled to the different complexes. The statistics show that many of the complexes with higher crime rates are located on the San Jose corridor. Committee members hope greater involvement by the city can help promote safe and healthy living environments in all the citys apartments complexes. What were hoping for in the future

is that the city is more alert to the problems as they develop so that they cant get to such a severe state of deterioration, Mr. Keith said. Among the 19 code violations at Claremont Cottages Apartments: - A vacant unit that is unsecured, contains a large pile of discarded furniture and debris in the rear yard, creating an unsightly condition and potential harborage site for rodents and other vectors, and has a deteriorated front door, screen and broken wooden fence slat in the rear of the unit. - An electrical panel is open and unsecured. - The vacant laundry room is unsecured with damaged drywall, graffiti on the interior and exterior and un-permitted, unsafe electrical wiring. - The parking stalls south of the complex along the alley contain several inoperable vehicles with expired registration tags. - Graffiti around the complex, leaking water valve, damaged doors, vents, fence and walls.

Learning the art of tea drinking in Claremont


by John Pixley

felt a bit like Mr. Relin. I had the feeling I wasnt supposed to be there. But there I wasabout to learn something fascinating.

I was at the Athenaeum at Claremont McKenna College to hear David Oliver Relin, the journalist and coauthor of the popular Three Cups of Tea: One Mans Mission to Promote Peace...One School at a Time with Greg Mortenson about Mr. Mortensons adventures in the Middle-East. It was the first lecture of the school year at the Athenaeum, and, although there had been no line at the door and I easily got in, I quickly saw that my getting in was a mistake. There were more tables than usual, all filled with young, scrubbed faces, and I was asked, How did you sneak in? Well, Im glad I snuck in. It ended up being a true privilege to be there. As I soon realized this was the Freshman Dinner, and after the students were welcomed to college by their class president and the next 4 years of their lives, Mr. Relins presentation turned out to be quite a warm, eye-opening, riveting welcome. The speaker started off by mentioning that he had noticed that the Daily Beast has ranked CMC as the happiest college but that it might change after his discussion of poverty and ignorance. He asked for the students patience and then, showing slides, spoke for well over the hour that is usual at the Athenaeum, not only about poverty and ignorance but also about so much more. Mr. Relin spoke of how his life changed when, as a college graduation gift, his parents gave him a plane ticket to anywhere, and he chose to go to India, as it sounded the most different from his life in New York. Also momentous was his decision to spend his travel money on a shiny motorcycle, which proceeded to constantly break down. He soon discovered that having such a vehicle was one of 2 keys to being a good journalist, since he found himself with lots of time in lots of tiny, out-of-the-way villages. The other good journalism key he discovered is that the more smelly a person is, the better the story. He also came to see that a good journalist has a very

observer
important job: that is, to give the powerless a voice to the powerful. I couldnt help but think of one of my favorite bumper stickers: My job is to comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable. In most of his extensive travels, mostly to poor, isolated and sometimes dangerous places, Mr. Relin has learned that the reason that people in the Third World are so poor and far behind is not because they are stupid or lazy or even victimized. Its simply that they have to spend all their time and energy working to merely survive. Much of the talk was about this, as well as gaining peoples trust and not always being the American who knows all. It was evident that Mr. Relin found a kindred spirit in Mr. Mortenson, with his theory of taking the time to have tea, three cups of tea, with the people one encountersthe first as a stranger, the second as a honored guest, the third as family. Being in the dining room, as I probably wasnt supposed to be, I could feel the young students being drawn in by what Mr. Relin was saying and showing. (It turned out that the talk was simulcast elsewhere on campus, but I wasnt told this when I arrived, and, despite Mr. Relins reassurance that he looks better on camera, a video just wouldnt have been the same.) Before anyone knew it, it was too late for the usual Q and A. This was indeed a warm, generous nudge, an invitation, an enticing challenge to open a new chapter in lifeor a new life. This month is all about starting anew in Claremont, after the lazy days, the traveling days, the dreaming days of summer. These days of September are for coming back to drinking teathree cups, at leastand en-

gaging with each other. And not only for the students. This was evident when, a few days after Mr. Relins appearance at CMC, I attended the celebration marking the 90th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, giving women the right to vote, as well as the League of Women Voters. As is wellknown, Claremont women have always been active in politics and government, and the Claremont area chapter of the League is tireless, so this Sunday-afternoon gathering was quite the fete. That it took place at the charming, renovated Padua Hills Theater made the event all the more special. (Heck, if nothing else, the free and open-to-the-public happening was a nice excuse to go there!) But the gala, with its displays, commendations and refreshments, was more than a party. With a virtual whos-who of Claremont politicos, especially but not only of the female variety, in attendance, it was, yes, a celebration ofbut also a call to, or back tocivic engagement. Quite appropriate for September, this was a kick-off, a classy kick-off, to a new year of getting involved, joining with one another and getting things done. I suspect that many of the women there that afternoon, as well as most if not all of the men, cringe when hearing about the tea party and Sarah Palin, all the more as an example of a strong political woman. However, they no doubt embrace their activity nonetheless, feeling that whats really worth paying attention to and striving for is everyone voting and understanding and being part of whats going on around us. This was the message that was in fact repeatedly expressed. My one complaint is that a precious half-hour was wasted with the showing of a generic video, produced by the national parks department, about how women achieved the right to vote. I would much rather have heard some Claremont Leaguers talking about their experiences. Surely the 12 former League presidents who were there, if not others, had some interesting tid-bits they could have shared. Really. These days, with all the loud sniping, extremism and tea partying, we need all the examples of tea-drinking we can get.

I cant believe I would ever be politically self-conscious about drinking a cup of tea in public.

Gold Line through Claremont


Dear Editor: On hearing the news about building 2 more tracks to handle the Gold Line: Wow, 4 train tracks through little old Claremont. Do we get elevators and stairs to elevated pedestrian crossings at the station, or do we just negotiate the tracks? By the way, those 4 tracks will carry some 20 train crossings of Indian Hill and the other Claremont street crossings per hour when you add in Metrolink and BNSF. What lively bell and whistle sounds from 5 a.m. to 1 a.m. each day. What long lines of waiting automobiles every 3 minutes. We will become the big city of our dreams indeed. Of course, the adding of Gold Line tracks through Claremont is redundant since the Gold Line could stop at the Pomona North Metrolink station, which would then become a transfer station to Metrolink. Clearly by the time the Gold Line makes it that far, Metrolink will be running several more trains per day, and commuters could easily be accommodated. The other stated reason for this extension is that it will serve the Ontario Airport. That is clearly a pipe dream since if anyone cared about that, a short spur track would long ago have been built off the Metrolink Riverside line, which touches airport property, into the terminal area.

Obamas infrastructure proposal


Dear Editor: I just returned from a trip to Hong Kong and south China. Claremont people need to know that Chinas major highways are in better condition than ours. The Hong Kong airport is also much newer, cleaner and more efficient than is the Los Angeles International Airport. Hong Kong has a superb subway system, easy to use and air conditioned. A ride costs 60 cents. I have previously observed these same contrasts in Korea and Europe as well. The fact is, the American transportation infrastructure is obsolete and dilapidated. We cannot be internationally competitive with a dilapidated and oldfashioned transportation infrastructure. That is why I support and endorse President Obamas proposal to spend $50 billion on upgrading our transportation infrastructurehighways, railroads, bridges, ports, airports. We can borrow the money from the Chinese at low interest rates, and create jobs now while building a brighter future.

Planning for the future of the Spreading Grounds he League of Women Voters of the Claremont Area has received a demystifying $200,000 grant from the Rivers and Mountains Conservancy for a feasisustainability bility study of the Thompson Creek Projby Katie Gerecke

Use of the funds in an effort to maintain sustainable water supplies for the future of Claremont and the other cities of Pomona Valley will be discussed at a public meeting on Saturday, September 25 from 10:30 a.m. to noon at the Hughes Center, 1700 Danbury Rd., Claremont. Coffee will be served at 10:15. The meeting is free and open to the public. Reservations are required. The Thompson Creek Spreading Grounds, a 120 acre area of north Claremont, was set aside as the Pomona Valley Protective Association by citrus growers 100 years ago, to assure long-term water supplies in the aquifer which underlies this Valley. In 1931, Los Angeles County Flood Control District built a dam across the property, behind which lies a usually-dry reservoir. Los Angeles City and

Southern California Edison company own 2 high power lines crossing the land and L.A. County has a fire station on its south-east corner. Bordered on the south and east by Pomello Drive and Mills Avenue, it is faced by beautiful residences with viewsof the hills. There has been talk of selling some of the spreading grounds to a developer. This second public meeting will hear the report of RBF Consultants about how best to increase spreading storm water on the Thompson Creek Spreading Grounds. The Leagues Water Task Force has shared a vision of preserving the land in perpetuity, with enhanced spreading of storm water to reduce our dependence on water imported from northern California, to restore diverse habitats for birds and woodland animals, and to create a natural parkland space with public access and educational possibilities. This

small area contains almost 70 acres of Riversidean Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub which the state of California considers a fragment of its rarest of habitats. This needs to be restored and preserved for its biological value. In the future, reclaimed water could be used to maintain a year-round wetlands, a prospect which would attract wildlife and delight school classes. As state and federal park and recreation funds become available, the League anticipates the possibility of adding this beautiful natural preserve to the Claremont Hillside Wilderness Park. Marilee Scaff, one of he leaders of the project, comments, We really must increase water supplies for our long-range future. And low-impact trails over this relatively flat land would be ideal for children or older adults who find the adjoining hillsides too steep for comfortable walking. Preserving this gem of the hillsides would be a treasured element in the future of a Sustainable Claremont. The League invites public interest and comment on the concepts to be presented for this Feasibility Study. For reservations, call 624-9457.

COURIER photos/Steven Felschundneff A few of the 8 chickens that now live at El Roble Intermediate School walk around their enclosure on Monday.

El Roble gets a taste of farm life with chicken coop

he chickens have finally arrived at El Roble Intermediate School. After building a chicken coop in the schools garden to house up to chickens this summer, the school welcomed 8 hens to campus 2 weeks ago.

According to Claremont Unified School District Director of Nutrition Services Rick Cota, the chickens will provide eggs and help enrich the soil. In 3 weeks, they should each be laying 5 to 7 eggs a week, Mr. Cota said. We can utilize those eggs in our daily recipes. They also provide good manure for our soil in the garden. Well use these hens for 2 years

and then exchange them for new ones. At a cost of $6 each from Fairgrow Pullet in Chino, Mr. Cota said the first year would pay for itself with the total value of the eggs being in the $1000 range. If the chickens average an egg a day, the total will be more than 2500 eggs for a full year. The coop structure cost a few hundred dollars to build funded largely through community donations. The house currently sits at the southwest corner of the 3000 square-foot garden. While El Roble could possibly have up to 15 chickens on campus, the coop only holds enough for 8 hens. During the day, Mr. Cota and other garden tenders

Principal Kevin Grier, right, and food services worker Brian Greene fix the irrigation system in one of the schools raised vegetable beds on Monday at El Roble Intermediate School. The garden has been producing food for the school district since it was established this spring.

COURIER photos/Steven Felschundneff ABOVE: Two eggplants are ready to be harvested on Monday at El Robles garden. RIGHT: Four of the 8 chickens that now live at El Roble eat breakfast on Monday.

FARMLIFE continued from the previous page

let the chickens out of the coop to walk around a specified area of the garden. While the chickens will have multiple uses for the district, they themselves will not become a direct food source. Well utilize their eggs and their poop for manure but theyll never be utilized for meat, Mr. Cota pointed out. El Roble Principal Kevin Grier believes the chicken coop also provides learning opportunities outside of the classroom for students. Along with the chicken coop, the garden houses several crops, including basil, cabbage,

celery, corn, cucumbers, eggplant, red and green kale, strawberries, tomatoes, yellow onions, yellow squash and zucchini. Our students are just finishing up with culinary safety and cleanliness, Mr. Grier said. We have students from Pomona College who have been doing stuff with them in food politics and how to garden. Theyll start doing more hands-on work in the garden in the future. The El Roble garden was created last year in order to grow crops that could be used for CUSD schools. With the addition of the chicken coop, the junior high students are able to get a small sample of farm life.

Its great because its another way for kids to experience agricultural life, Mr. Grier explained. Were also planning to add another garden on the north part of campus. We have a space near the bike rack area that nobody is using for anything and if we can make it into something useful, how cool would that be? The garden and chicken coop have both been well received by El Roble students. Mr. Grier said the culinary courses have become popular and some students are on a waiting list. Seventh grader Ossman Ali believes the chicken coop offers students an experience they would not receive elsewhere.

Its pretty cool to have the chicken coop because a lot of kids have never seen or felt a chicken, he said. Its also pretty cool that we can eat their eggs. Eighth grader Noah Oakes tended chickens with his family between ages 4 and 6. While he is enthusiastic about their presence on campus, he is also concerned about their safety. Im actually nervous about the chickens because there are a lot of coyotes around here, Noah said. It worries me that they could go there and jump over the fence. Because theyre hungry, theyll find a way to get in.

Claremont Colleges rank high in athletic poll


Claremont McKenna College, Harvey Mudd College, Scripps College, Pomona College and Pitzer College are among the top 100 colleges and universities in the nation academically and athletically, according to a recent power rankings list by NCSA Athletic Recruiting. CMC led the way by finishing in 17th place, followed by Harvey Mudd at No. 19. Scripps placed 22nd, Pomona earned 30th place and Pitzer took 41st. The listings are determined using a power ranking score based on averaging the Learfield Sports Directors Cup ranking, the NCAA student-athletic graduation rate and the U.S. News & World Report ranking. The Learfield Sports Directors Cup data is based on the strength of the NCAA athletic departments, the student-athlete graduation rates are provided by the NCAA and the U.S. News & World Report rating is based on the colleges academic standing. According to NCSA Athletic Recruiting data, less than 6 percent of colleges and universities are represented in the 2010 rankings. NCSA Athletic Recruitings power rankings are designed to assess the academic and athletic standards of all NCAA athletic programs across the country. The data is intended to assist prospect student athletes and their families in evaluating strengths of top colleges and universities from Divisions I through III. The Claremont Colleges were also featured in the Division III Top 100 rankings with the exception of Harvey Mudd. CMC finished in 10th place, Scripps placed 12th, Pomona ranked 17th and Pitzer College took home 25th.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGS REGARDING PROPOSED AMENDMENT

legalads@claremont-courier.com
Allow businesses to have freestanding identification signs in addition to building-mounted signs subject to one of three general criteria (building is set back from street, sign is needed to provide identification to motorists, or building-mounted sign not feasible or desirable based on design of building.) This change would not be applicable to the Claremont Village or the Village Expansion area. The permitted size of freestanding signs for individual business signs would remain as currently specified in the Sign Code. Allow multi-tenant center signs if included as part of a center sign program or if consistent with the Citys Multi-Tenant Retail Center Sign Enhancement Program guidelines. Signs would be required to include the names of more than one tenant, but need not include the names of all tenants. The names of the tenants would be required to be of a size that is legible to motorists traveling on adjacent streets. One sign would be permitted per frontage with the potential for more signs if a frontage exceeds 500 feet. Flexibility to the number of permitted signs would also be possible if part of a sign program that has unique design characteristics and/or demonstrates a creative approach. Sign size and height would be as determined appropriate for the street frontage, size of center, and design of the signs. Signs would be reviewed subject to the design criteria in the Citys Sign Code. These criteria require the signs to be in harmony with the building it serves, with surrounding development and adjacent streets, and that the size and height of signs be appropriate to the distance from which the sign is normally viewed. Legibility is to have priority over complexity in a signs design. The total aggregate area of all signs allowed would be limited relative to the land area of the center rather than length of a centers street frontage. The total aggregate area of signs shall not exceed the following: 2.5 sq. ft. per 1,000 sq. ft. of center property for the first 40,000 sq. ft. of center; plus 2.0 sq. ft. per 1,000 sq. ft. of the portion of center property exceeding 40,000 square feet up to a maximum size of 80,000 sq. ft.; plus 1.0 sq. ft. per 1,000 sq. ft. for portion of property larger than 80,000 sq. ft. However, all centers would be allowed one minimum-sized, multi-tenant sign per street frontage regardless of center size (20-50 sq. ft. depending on zoning district.) Establish that the City will adopt a MultiTenant Center Sign Enhancement Program to promote more effective identification of tenants within existing centers, and to enhance the image of existing centers within the community. Allow center identification signs that have only the name of the center in addition to multitenant signs. Remove distance requirement for freestanding freeway-oriented signs and permit the identification of more than three tenants on freestanding freeway-oriented signs. Clarify that a single business may have a sign program. Clarify that a sign face change for a new or existing business does not require separate review by the commission if the new sign face is consistent with an established sign program or is similar to the sign face that is being replaced. Incorporate the temporary provisions adopted last year pertaining to temporary banners, A-frame signs, and window signs. STATE OF CALIFORNIA ) COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES )ss.
