The Disclose Act
Dear Editor: The League of Women Voters urges all voters to contact their US Senators to request they cosponsor S. 2219, the Disclose Act of 2012, which would restore transparency to US elections by requiring complete disclosure of spending on big-money advertising in candidate elections. In its ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the Supreme Court opened the floodgates for big-money special interests in our elections. Corporations and unions can now make unlimited secret expenditures seeking to elect or defeat candidates. In addition, they can make unlimited secret contributions to other entities that seek to elect or defeat candidates. This is unacceptable in a democracy. We must preserve the integrity of our electoral process by increasing transparency and letting the sunlight shine in. Disclosure of corporate, union, and individual spending in elections is vital to allowing voters to make informed decisions. S. 2219 accomplishes that fundamental purpose. The Disclose Act of 2012 is carefully crafted to require disclosure by outside groups of large campaign contributions and expendituresthose over $10,000and includes a valuable stand-by-your ad provision for ads run by such groups. It requires outside groups to certify that their spending is not coordinated with candidates and, very importantly, covers transfers of money among groups so that the actual sources of funds being spent to influence federal elections will be known. S. 2219 builds on requirements already approved by the Supreme Court. In fact,

Dear Editor: Continuing to give the uber-rich more tax breaks is confusing to me. We have a choice as a societywe can cut education, fire and police departments, roads, bridges, libraries, the arts, urban renewal programs, veterans benefits, the military, and social programs to save money. The other choice is to stop the tax breaks for the wealthiest (which would mean they would still be paying less in taxes than the other 99%). Either decision will save the same amount of money and cut the deficit the same amount. Which sounds more logical and would help more people? There are dozens and dozens of quotations in the Bible about aiding the poor. This obviously points to the idea that, if we claim to be Christian, we should do everything possible to help the less fortunate, regardless of their situation. My questions are: How can people profess to be doing what God wants when they lobby and fight against all social programs? If these Christians believe in equality, why are they fighting to make sure that the richest people are treated far more preferentially than others? And, finally, why aren't we all protesting the wars being waged by conservatives on education, gay rights, and women's rights? I would like to believe that America is a Democracy; it sure seems like were being pushed away from the ideals of the ideology. If we want to be a true democracy as we say we are, we all have work to do.

GOVERNING OURSELVES
Meeting agendas are available at www.ci.claremont.ca.us Wednesday, April 25 Architectural Commission Council Chamber, 7 p.m. Thursday, April 26 Claremont Unified School District Special Meeting, 6:30 p.m. Kirkendall Center Board Room Traffic & Transportation Commission Council Chamber, 7 p.m. the court pointed in the direction of enhanced disclosure when it said that disclosure is important to providing the electorate with information. It also supported disclaimer requirements so that the people will be able to evaluate the arguments to which they are being subjected. We couldnt agree more. S. 2219 focuses only on disclosure and does not contain elements from previous legislation such as barring campaign spending by government contractors. Voters deserve to know the sources of funding for election advertising. The League of Women Voters strongly urges our US Senators to cosponsor and support quick action by the senate to enact the Disclose Act of 2012.

Oxtoby joins prestigious group honored for leadership
omona College president David Oxtoby will travel to Cambridge, Massachusetts this fall to be inducted into the prestigious American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
He joins 220 people being honored this year for leadership in academics, arts, business and public affairs. Other 2012 honorees are Hillary Rodham Clinton, Clint Eastwood, Melinda Gates, Mel Brooks, Neil Simon and Paul McCartney. Dr. Oxtobywho found out about his admission to the Academy the old fashioned way, via letter is no stranger to accolades. He has received fellow-
ships from organizations including the Guggenheim, von Humboldt, Dreyfus, Sloan, Danforth and National Science foundations. Nonetheless, he feels honored to join the storied Academy, which was founded in 1781 with inaugural members like Benjamin Franklin and George Washington. It definitely stands out, Dr. Oxtoby humbly said of his Academy membership. Coming from the academic world, if youre not going to get a Nobel prize, this is one of the larger prizes. Dr. Oxtoby has been asked to write a letter accepting his membership, which will be kept in the files of the Academy of Arts and Sciences. He marvels that those files contain similar letters by George Washing-
COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff David Oxtoby, president of Pomona College, has been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.One of the oldest institutions in America, the Academy elected 220 men and women for 2012 including Hilary Rodham Clinton, Melinda Gates and Sir Paul McCartney. He will be inducted into the society this October at a formal ceremony in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
ton and other leaders that shaped our country. It is not the first time a Pomona College president joined the Academy. In 2006, David Alexander, the universitys 7th president, was inducted into the society. This year, there are several Academy honorees with ties to Pomona College. They include Sally Elgin, a Pomona College alumna and genome researcher; Pomona alumnus, psychologist and author (The Childs Theory of Mind) Henry Wellman; and former Pomona College faculty member Steven Koblik, who is president of the Huntington Library, Art Collections and Botanical Gardens. Dr. Oxtoby is the author of numerous scientific articles on subjects such as light scattering, chemical reaction dynamics and phase transition and 2 popular first-year chemistry textbooks. Though he teaches a class each year in environmental chemistry, specifically climate change, his love of science often takes a backseat to college administration. Im very optimistic by nature. Even now, with all of our challenges, America has the best system of higher education in the world. We have a huge opportunity to make our education even better, he said. Science will take the spotlight in September, when he will travel to the University of Cambridge for a 3month sabbatical. Dr. Oxtoby will be conducting chemistry research, which will be briefly interrupted in October when he flies to the other Cambridge for the Academy of Arts and Sciences ceremony. While hes gone, Cecilia Conrad, dean of Pomona College, will serve as acting president. When Dr. Oxtoby became the 9th president of Pomona College in 2003, it was written into his contract he could take a sabbatical after his 6th year. Nine years into the job, he is excited about the opportunity to get re-immersed in the realm of science. He and his wife are also looking forward to a vacation this summer, when they will spend several weeks hiking and bicycling in the Canadian Rockies and on Prince Edward Island. Despite his enthusiasm for scientific and personal rejuvenation, Dr. Oxtoby emphasizes that his primary focus is Pomona College. Im really passionate about the values of liberal education, he said. It prepares students to think critically, to work in groups, and to ask big questions. Im committed to that over a number of years.

CUSD board calls special meeting to discuss new superintendent
special meeting of the CUSD school board to discuss the new superintendent will be held tomorrow, Thursday, April 26, at 6:30 p.m. A public comment period is available.
Item V. Closed Session of the agenda released Tuesday morning states that the board will discuss: Public Employee Appointment, Public Employee Employment, California Government Code 54954.4(e) pursuant to California Government Code 54957 Position: Superintendent. The board will broadly discuss the appointment of the new superintendent, according to Liz Jefferson, CUSD administrative assistant to the superintendent. [The board] will review applications and look into setting interviews. We did not want to restrict
discussion by adding a specific descriptor in the agenda, she said. Without the descriptor, the board can have a good scope of discussion. The agenda also notes that no formal action will be taken at this meeting. The board approved the superintendent recruitment prospectus created by consulting search firm Dave Long & Associates at the March 1 board meeting, after the firm collected public input at 2 forums, and through interviews and questionnaires. The closing date for the superintendent application period was April 16, with the new superintendent starting date planned for July 1. Interim Superintendent Gloria Johnstons last day with CUSD is scheduled for June 30. The special meeting will take place at the Kirkendall Education Center Board Room, 170 W. San Jose Ave. The next regular meeting of the school board is set for Thursday, May 3.

EDUCATION
Global view helps students build faith and character
oothill Country Day School students are embracing characterbuilding through the schools interfaith chapel program, which is teaching students to focus on global awareness rather than the particulars of any one religion.
At the private K-8 school, a variety of interfaith topics and presentations are helping students and teachers alike to cultivate open-mindedness and a well-rounded spiritual education. Chapel time is about everyday community gathering. Its a fantastic time to celebrate each other, and we work hard to strike a good balance, said Head of School Mike Silva. We are educating future leaders and citizens who need to understand different faiths and spiritual journeys. Though the chapel program has evolved since the school was first established, it continues to promote the K-8s mission to build character in our childrento stress honesty, courtesy, responsibility and a concern for others, according to Director of Admissions Denise Zondervan. It brings together a common thread in our students, Ms. Zondervan said. It teaches values. Its about education, global awareness and respect. In its earliest days, chapel at Foothill Country Day was centered on the Old Testament of the Christian Bible, according to Mr. Silva. The foundation has always been there. I think there is a reason our
COURIER photos/Steven Felschundneff Students in the younger grades have a moment of prayer on Monday during the interfaith chapel time at Foothill Country Day School in Claremont. The chapel is divided into 2 sessions, one for the youngest students and one for the older students, so that the instruction can be tailored to their age group.
Andrea Phung, 10. leads the older students interfaith chapel on Monday at Foothill Country Day School. For many years, the religious study at the school has been led from a nondenominational perspective due to the wide range of religious backgrounds that the students come from. Behind Andrea is Head of School Mike Silva.
founder only read from the Old Testament, he said. The Old Testament lends itself to the general idea for the understanding of love and justice. Over the last several years, chapel has evolved to more fully embrace these themes. Chapel is held daily, with each week focusing on a new theme. Thursdays are special, highlighting acts of kindness performed by students. Last week it was about compassion. This week is on pollution, said eighth grader Bailey Scherer. Its cool to learn about different subjects. Students in fourth through eighth grades take turns making a presentation. They are given the opportunity to run the chapel in their own way, some presenting Native American rituals or Buddhist prayers. We know we service a diverse student body, Mr. Silva said. We want to connect with all the different spiritual journeys our students represent. Fourth grader Andrea Phung said she likes the fact that she gets to develop her public speaking skills while also expanding her knowledge. You can learn more things about how to do stuff and be a better person, said Andrea, who gave a presentation to her peers on ecology on Monday. Bailey, who helps set up the projector and technical aspects of the daily assemblies, enjoys the fact that chapel helps bridge any divides between the different grades at Foothill Day. Fourth through eighth graders join each other in chapel each day. K-2

meets in its own elementary-level programming immediately after. Its a great way to have the whole school come together, she said. Its nice to be able to get to know other students and listen to the presentations. Faculty also hopes it will provide a key foundation in their students lives after graduation. A well-educated citizen is somebody who has multiple views and multiple perspectives, Mr. Silva said. We hope it will plant the seeds so that later in life, when they [our students] are traveling throughout the world, it provides them with practical understandings of others.

Claremont Relay for Life set for 24-hour march at CHS
elebrate. Remember. Fight back. This weekend, Claremonters and millions across the world will do just that at the annual Relay for Life, a philanthropic walkathon benefitting the fight against cancer. The event kicks off this Saturday, April 28, at 9 a.m. and concludes at 9 a.m. Sunday, April 29.
Sponsored by the American Cancer Society, Relay for Life began in 1985 as a way to raise cancer awareness in the community and provide necessary funds for continued cancer research. Today, that fight continues. Survivors, friends, family and supporters alike will gather at the Claremont High School football field in a 24hour march for the cause, symbolizing the battle that cancer patients and their families fight every day. It is a very powerful event, said Nusha Shishegar, co-chair for the Claremont/La Verne event. Its a time to make a difference in someones life as a community instead of through individual efforts. Beyond raising money for cancer research, Relay for Life is about providing a source of comfort and support for those who continue to be affected by the 24-hour battle with cancer, according to Ms. Shishegar. It brings a sense of connection and happiness to people who really need it, she said. While the field will be filled with at least one walker at all times, participants are also invited to take part in special scheduled laps. The event kicks off with a survivors lap, recognizing those who have fought and won the battle against cancer. Their caregivers are invited to walk in solidarity with them. A special Luminaria Ceremony later that evening will take place as a remembrance to those loved ones lost or who continue in their struggle. Throughout the day, participants are invited to purchase luminaria
bags, which can then be decorated in honor of their loved ones. These bags will be filled with sand and a lit candle, then placed around the field during the evening remembrance ceremony. The walkathon will conclude Sunday morning with a Fight Back Ceremony, pledging a continued commitment to taking action against cancer. This year, Claremont Relay For Life will be using technology to help spread the word about the walk. Festivities include a Twitter lap, during which Claremont Relay for Life walkers will be invited to simultaneously post tweets sharing their experiences with other participants at different Relay For Life events across the nation. Participants will also get the chance to visit the purple couch, located near the field, and record a personalized message on a video camera set to record throughout the 24-hour event. The idea is to create a moving movie picture about what the relay is all about, Ms. Shishegar said. We hope that not only participants, but visitors who stop by will take the time to talk about what their experience at the relay has meant to them. Food trucks, another new addition this year, will be available for both participants and bystanders, with a 20 percent donation of all proceeds to the American Cancer Society. The trucks will be available at lunchtime from noon to 3 p.m. and dinner from 5 to 8 p.m. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free items will be included. We are hoping even those who dont plan on walking will come out and support us by purchasing food, Ms. Shishegar said. Participants can register online at relayforlife.org/claremontca or purchase an allaccess pass to the event for $10 at the gate on Saturday. To make a donation or for more information, visit relayforlife.org/claremontca. Cancer never stops, and it is something we have to actively battle, Ms. Shishegar said, But we are pushing back, standing up and fighting.

First up in the area of recognition was a report from the inaugural Regional Student Art Exhibition held in early March in the Millard Sheets Gallery at the Los Angeles County Fairgrounds. Sponsored by the Career and Technical Education Center of the Fairplex, the exhibition ArtReach: The Art of Poetry attracted participants from 67 high schools in 17 districts in the area. Claremont had the largest presence with 47 entries and brought home a number of awards, including first-place works by Claremont High School students Cindy Liu and Isabella Mendoza. Isabellas entry was purchased after the show by the American Museum of Ceramic Arts. CHS student Brian Donahue received a third place award and honorable mentions went to fellow CHS students Becca Hafner, Christine Zheng and Sarena Delgado. Invitational work from CHS Room 608 and Danbury School students was also involved in the exhibition. Art consultant Lugene Whitley reflected on the success of the program, citing the advice of Albert Einstein, who reportedly said, Logic will take you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere. Danbury teacher Kenneth Johnson introduced the presentation, urging continued support from the district for the program. Considerable pride and some touches of humor accompanied the boards recognition of Claremont Highs CIF (California Interscholastic Federation) championship girls soccer team and the slew of awards the group achieved during the 2011-2012 season. The team not only won the Southern Section CIF Championship, sophomore Madison Stark was named Player of the Year, and Madison, along with teammates senior Rebekah Evans and junior Karen Parga, were selected to the 2011-2012 Division 3 Girls Soccer All CIF Southern Section Team. And adding honors to honors, veteran Coach Tim Tracey, involved in soccer at CHS for more than 10 years, was named CIF Coach of the Year in Division 3. Coach Tracey described the year as fantastic and noted that many team members also did very well academically. He especially thanked Assistant Coaches Nicole Giles and Tim Tipping, along with team parents, families and the community as a whole. Board President Jeff Stark noted good naturedly that he and his family have been congratulated many times on the achievements of Madison, with the duplication of their surnames. Although not directly related, Mr. Stark kiddingly told Madison, I would like to welcome you to the family! The board heard reports on activities from Mountain View Elementary School leaders Oksana Sosnovsky and Jeremiah Alarcon, along with student board members Jake Wu from CHS and TeVin Woods from San Antonio High School. Next up: English learner achievements, priority goal reports, and CUSD Occupational Therapy Clinic plans. See Saturdays edition of the COURIER for a report.

BOARD REPORT
Claremonts sustainable future

by Freeman Allen
here is so much to report on sustainability I almost forgot to write this article. Claremont held its fourth Earth Day event on April 21. The citys Sustainability Plan is to be revised this year and Claremonts Sustainability Committee is getting ready for that.
Demystifying
SUSTAINABILITY
ment, Open Space and Land Use, Housing & Economic Sustainability, and Outreach, Education and Implementation. Targets include decreasing electrical energy consumption 20 percent below 2003 levels by 2015, and water consumption 20 percent by this year and 40 percent by 2017; diverting 70 percent of solid waste from landfills by 2015. There has been remarkable progress in some areas, less in others. The Colleges and others have their own individual plans and targets. This time it might make good sense to work together on a community-wide plan. Sustainable Claremont hopes to facilitate such a project. Sustainable Claremont was incorporated as a nonprofit organization 3 years ago this month to engage people in education and action toward a more sustainable communityenvironmentally, economically and sociallyin Claremont and beyond. During these 3 years much has happened. For example, the Schools Action Group drafted a resolution that was adopted by the board. It called for substantial educational programs on sustainability. The Schools Action Group has also been an effective advocate for vegetable gardens at Claremont schools, both to improve school lunches and for the educational value.
Water rates are skyrocketing; Claremont Outrage formed in protest. The city council voted unanimously to consider taking over our water system and funded a study to be finished soon, with decision likely in the next few months. The Claremont Colleges funded a plan for water reclamation to irrigate the campuses using a plant that would reduce the amount of water Claremont needs to import by about 10 percent. Uncommon Good is constructing a unique superadobe building and promoting urban agriculture. The Colleges are implementing and updating sustainability plans. And theres more. In October 2008, Claremont adopted a Sustainable City Plan that sets goals for the ability of the city and residents of Claremont to meet the needs of the present economy, society and the environment while preserving the ability of future generations to meet their needs. A task force adopted over 80 goals in 7 areas: Resource Conservation, Environment and Public Health, Transportation, Sustainable Built Environ-
The Claremont Home Energy Retrofit Project (CHERP) created a highly successful program of energy conservation in homes as part of a nationwide program. The Water Action Group initiated the water reclamation effort at the Colleges. The Social Action Group published a walking guide to Claremont that is widely used. The COURIER has published these Demystifying Sustainability articles since January 2010, and Pomona College has co-sponsored Sustainability Dialogs since November 2009. If you are interested in what we are doing, we would welcome your participation. This year Sustainable Claremont will be the community organization honored at Claremonts Independence Day celebration. The next Sustainability Dialog will be on May 7 at 7 p.m., in the Hahn Building, 420 N Harvard Ave. Richard Haskell, professor of physics at Harvey Mudd College, will discuss Freedom From Imported Water as he leads a brief virtual tour of the water reclamation system proposed for the Claremont Colleges and a sneak peek into the water future of the community of Claremont. [Editors note: Along with many Claremont residents, the COURIER spent Saturday enjoying the Earth Day festivities.

Some reality thoughts about global warming

by D.D. Trent
global temperature record from 1850 to 2010. After a rapid rise in the early 20th century, average temperatures did cool by about 0.2oC from 1940 until 1970, after which they began to climb rapidly again to the present, with 2003 and 2010 tied for the third warmest years on record. In fact, 2003, 2005 and 2010 differ only by the third decimal place; in statistical terms, less than 2 standard errors (about 0.1oC) that is at least 10 times larger than the differences between these 3 years.

1963 produced enough aerosols to lower the temperature by about 0.50oC, and solar activity slowed down after an increase at the beginning of the century. The clean air acts of the 1970s, enacted in North America and Europe, reduced sulfide emissions and the cooling effect was soon outweighed by the warming effect of the steadily increasing amounts of greenhouse gas emissions. In current discussions of climate change it is common to hear about this global cooling scare of the 1970s. The discussion is most often attributed to news media coverage, not to the scientific literature. For example, this is where Sen. James Inofe (R-OK) turned for much of his evidence for his senate floor speech in 2003 in which he stated that global warming is the greatest hoax ever perpetuated on the American people. Chief among his evidence was the 1975 Newsweek story, The Cooling World. How could this myth ever get started? One of the sources of this idea may have been a 1971 paper in Science by Stephen Schneider and S.I. Rasool, climate researchers at NASAs Goddard Space Flight Center. They suggested that the cooling effect of aerosols and dirty air could outweigh the warming effect of CO2, thus potentially leading Earth into an ice age if aerosol pollution should quadruple. Many scientists viewed the idea as possible as the planet at that time was cooling. However, critics quickly pointed out flaws in Schneider and Rasools work, including several they recognized themselves. Revising their analysis showed that cooling could result, but their original paper overestimated cooling and underestimated the greenhouse warming of CO2, a point not acknowledged by the media. The basis for the cooling myth lies in selective misreading of scientific articles by some members of the media at the time and by some observers of today. In 2008, Tom Peterson of the National Climate Data Center surveyed dozens of peer-reviewed climate articles from 1965 to 1979 and found that 44 predicted warming, 20 were neutral and only 7 supported global cooling. Petersons literature search shows there was no scientific consensus in the 1970s that the Earth was headed into an ice age. Quite the contrary, his literature search suggests that even then, greenhouse warming dominated scientiststhinking about the most important forces shaping Earths climate on a human time scale.

We had a few more weapons than they did and were able to win the day, said coach Bernie Wendling. Its always good to beat Arcadia. The Apaches have historically been one of the Wolfpacks fiercest rivals. The win bolstered Claremonts record, taking the team to 8-1 overall as they prepared to play Burbank and Crescenta Valley this week. They will wrap league play with a match against Burroughs on Tuesday, May 1. Though CHS, second place in League standings, won matches against both Burbank and Burroughs earlier in the season, this is no time for the team to rest on its laurels, according to Coach Wendling. The team was lucky to win the Arcadia match-up, he said. We missed 9 serves in game number-one and still won. We didnt serve really well. The Wolfpack has been working on making their serves more aggressive, he noted. Its part of the mens gameyou have to serve tough. With aggressiveness comes more errors, he said, something the team needs to minimize before they face Burroughs, a team that has gotten really good, really fast over the last 3 years. Burroughs is first place in Sierra League standings. Coach Wendling believes with focus, the team can pull off the kind of performances that will lead to a championship. It would be a return to glory for CHS, which won the league championship for 5 years in a row before losing last years playoff bid. Were digging harder hits, our de-

In league play, CHS lost to Chino Hills (3-2) in a tight-scoring game on Wednesday, April 18. We matched each other with 4 hits apieceit was a pitching battle, head boys varsity baseball coach Geoff Ranney said. We just didnt get the execution when we needed it. Despite the Chino Hills loss, the team is ready to take on the Chargers, Coach Ranney said. Were in a really tough league every team is playoff caliber. And our program is equal to the task. Boys varsity tennis team continues to excel Its been a winning season for the CHS boys varsity tennis team, which is currently 8-1 in league play. First-year head boys varsity tennis coach Louise Miclat is impressed with the talent of this years team. Her biggest challenge is finding the ideal pairings for doubles, both for continued season play and for the coming year. Im not fully comfortable; I dont know their game inside out.

Good Shepherd celebrates 50 years in Claremont
en years ago, Good Shepherd Lutheran Church celebrated the 40th anniversary of its founding. While the theme was 40 Years in Grace, the discourse was about growth and development. The growth, development and faith has continued since then, and since the churchs founding in 1962. This weekend, Good Shepherd Lutheran Church will celebrate its 50th year. On April 8, 1962, Good Shepherd Lutheran Church was formally organized with 61 charter members and 59 child members. The 3.5-acre property at 1700 N. Towne Ave. on which the church stands today was acquired by the Lutheran Synod in 1958, and ground was first broken to build the church sanctuary on January 30, 1966 under the supervision of Rev. Peter Knoles. Three of the original charter members are still in ClaremontAlice Trask, Ginny Blackwell and Anna Petrovichand have been part of Good Shepherd Lutheran Churchs community for half a century, during which time the church has become an integral part of Claremonts community. If you have been raised in a church, and have raised your children in a church as I have, then it becomes very meaningful to celebrate that your church is still alivethat it is still meaningful. It has always been a home where we can worship, said Denise Trask Free, one of the churchs original child members. Longtime member Anne Brower has attended Good Shepherd for 38 years.
It has always been a very friendly church; we have always encouraged new people to come. For me, personally, it has been an anchor, she said. Ms. Brower has served in Good Shepherds altar guild. Good Shepherd has offered a home for families hailing from much farther than neighboring communities. The congregation took in a Vietnamese family in 1975 during the Vietnam War, Shirley Rude recalls. We sponsored a family in 1975 and in 1980. I remember Pastor Jacobson said, We need to do this. There was no debate about it. He was a missionary from Guatemala so he understood very well the situations of refugees and stood up for them. They are still a part of our community. It was a very rewarding, growing experience for the congregation. The women have witnessed many developments in Good Shepherd Lutheran Church. They have seen changes in the churchs practices: Sunday service has diverged into 2 different services, and a contemporary service, which has come to include a live praise band, was introduced between the late 1980s and early 1990s. The church still offers a traditional Lutheran service in addition to the contemporary service. The Lutheran Church has come to ordain women and recognize same-sex relationships and same-sex ordination. Good Shepherds youth program has grown immensely over the years, and now attracts over 60 high school kids to the church, many from Claremont High School.
We consider ourselves a do-it-yourself church. We have been very blessed that many of our members have been contractors, and we could just decide to build a new shed or expand the buildings, said Mrs. Trask Free when describing the process of change and development Good Shepherd has undergone. She highlighted the importance of the development of the churchs music program: Lutherans sing, and eat, and drink coffee together, and we build music as a form of worship into everything we do! On Saturday, April 28, Good Shepherd Lutheran Church will host A Walk Through History from 2 to 5 p.m. in the Churchs fellowship hall. Community members are invited to explore the churchs history and trace its fellowship and construction, and to enjoy refreshments. On Sunday morning, April 29, there will be a grand service, a combination of Good Shepherds contemporary service which includes a live praise band and a traditional Lutheran service. Two of the churchs former ministers will also be returning. Community members are welcome to the service, which begins at 9:30 a.m, and will be lead by Good Shepherds current pastor, Kenneth Davis. In the words of Mrs. Trask Free, it will be a celebration of our fellowship, our history, and all of the blessings that we feel as a family.

the team was out of their comfort zone, they still wrapped up the match 18-1. The fortunes of the Wolfpack are looking bright as they prepare for their final matches against Ayala and South Hills this week. Coach Miclats lofty goal is for the team to dominate the Sierra League and for one of her players to be selected as League MVP. She also hopes a few of her strongest players, such as currently undefeated junior Alan Leahy, sophomore Brandon Yeoh (one loss) and senior Carter Hafif will go on to distinguish themselves in CIF play.

The bigger drums are carved out of one piece of wood, and can weigh over 50 pounds and cost over $14,000.

In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept cashier's checks drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state.Said sale will be made, in an ''AS IS'' condition, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Deed of Trust, advances thereunder, with interest as provided, and the unpaid principal of the Note secured by said Deed of Trust with interest thereon as provided in said Note, plus fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust.

FRAZIER, HUSBAND AND WIFE AS JOINT TENANTS Recorded: 12/30/2008 as Instrument No. 20082268611 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of LOS ANGELES County, California; Date of Sale: 5/14/2012 at 09:00 AM Place of Sale: Behind the fountain located in Civic Center Plaza, 400 Civic Center Plaza, Pomona CA 91766 Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $471,528.33 The purported property address is: 917 W BASELINE RD , CLAREMONT, CA 91711 Assessors Parcel No. 8669-018-050 NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorders office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 714-573-1965 for information regarding the trustees sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-11-444125-CL. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagees Attorney.

Historic engine steams through town
uring what has become somewhat of an annual event, Claremonters got a glimpse of rail history as AT&SF (Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe) Northern Engine 3751, pulling 6 vintage passenger cars, made trips through the city on its way to and from the Railroad Days gathering in San Bernardino on April 21 and 22.
Brought by the San Bernardino Railroad Historical Society, the 430-ton machine was among the first group of 14 (that eventually included 65) Santa Fe 4-8-4 northern type locomotives built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1927. It was the first of the series used for passenger service between Chicago and California, covering more than 2200 miles. 3751 is the very first and is among only 9 AT&SF surviving northerns and is now owned and operated by the San Bernardino Railroad Historical Society. The engine is normally stored (go figure) in Los Angeles. It was purchased
COURIER photo/Pat Yarborough AT&SF (Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe) Northern Engine 3751 makes its approach to the Claremont Depot on Sunday on its way to Union Station in Los Angeles as part of Railroad Days, hosted by the San Bernardino Railroad Historical Society.
from Santa Fe by the nonprofit group of railroad enthusiasts more than 25 years agothe purchase price was $1. The railroad society spent 5 years and an estimated $1.3 million, along with the labor of 400 volunteers, to restore the engine to operation and still has annual maintenance and housing costs of some $50,000. Trips such as the weekends jaunt to and from San Bernardino are offered to the public as a way of meeting those expenses. Sold out several days before its departure, between 150 and 200 passengers waved to onlookers from the vintage cars including the Tioga Pass business car, the Silver Splendor domed dining car, the Ocean View Amtrak dome car, the Overland Trail Southern Pacific club lounge car, an Amfleet chair car and the Gordon Zimmerman Union Pacific luggage car. Tickets for the trip, ranging from $80 to $115, included Metrolink rides to or from San Bernardino to facilitate passengers. The historical society maintains a website at webmaster@sbrhs.org where it offers information on upcoming excursions and activities of the organization. Those include, among many, National Train Day on May 12 when the 3751 will be on display at Los Angeles Union Station, and a subsequent excursion that will take the engine on a 1313 mile junket from Los Angeles to Arizona, including the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, and back.
