Traffic signal confusing[Editors note: The following letter was

sent to the Claremont City Council with acopy was forwarded for publication.]Dear City Council:

I am writing to complain about the traf-fic light at Indian Hill and 10th Street.The lights for pedestrians are over-engi-neered making the crossing at least as

dangerous as it was before the light wasinstalled.

I live west of Indian Hill and use thecrossing frequently, at least 4 times everyweek as a pedestrian, and many more asa cyclist or driver. Each time I have usedit as a pedestrian, going from west to easton the north crosswalk, I have seenpedestrians get confused about when theyhave the right-of-way and step out into

traffic.When the green arrow/light illuminatesalong with the walk sign for those cross-ing on the south crosswalk, most pedes-trians using the north crosswalk step outinto the street, probably thinking that thelight did not respond to their request for awalk signal.

At that point, drivers turning left to gonorth on Indian Hill have the right-of-way and have to stop for pedestrians whohave begun crossing, even though thepedestrians walk sign is not illuminatedyet.

Its natural for pedestrians to think theyshould have the right-of-way to walksince, at that point, the walk signal for

pedestrians using the south crosswalk isilluminated.Look, guys: the signal at 8th and Indian

Hill is perfectly fine. Its simple. We re-ally dont need special left-hand turnlights at 10th Street any more than theyare needed at 8th Street.

A pedestrian is going to get hit by a cbecause the majority of their experienctells them that pedestrians crossing in thsame direction, i.e. east/west or west/eascross at the same time.

Please! Either simplify the signal so itlike the signal at 8th Street or do as thedo in San Francisco and stop all traffic all directions so that all pedestrians croin all directions at the same time. Pleasdo it for those of us who actually use thintersection.

LWV support Prop 15Dear Editor:

Voters in California will have the opportunity this June to address a perennicomplaint about politiciansnamelthat they are influenced by campaign donations. There is far too much money the system: over $1 billion raised sinc2000. No wonder almost 80 percent othose polled recently said state government is pretty much run by a few big interests looking out for themselves.

Prop 15, the California Fair ElectionAct, establishes a voluntary public fnancing pilot program for candidates foSecretary of State in the 2014 and 201elections. Candidates must show broasupport to qualify for Fair Elections fun

ing and must not raise or spend monebeyond the limited public financing. Letget politicians out of the fund-raisingame. Vote YES on Prop 15!

Police on Wednesday afternoon ar-rested a 17-year-old Claremont resi-dent who broke into a home on

Morningside Drive earlier that morning.Criminal charges of residential burglary and

assault with intent to commit sexual batteryhave been filed against the juvenile, whowas found inside the bedroom of a 7-year-old girl.

At approximately 2:15 a.m. Wednesday, a male res-ident awoke to the sound of noises in his house. Theresident got up to investigate and found an unknownsubject inside the bedroom of his 7-year-old daughter.

The suspect was kneeling in the room trying to quieta barking dog, Claremont Police Lieutenant Shelly Van-der Veen said. Upon seeing the suspect, the homeownerchased the teenager from the home.

He was last seen running eastbound on MorningsideDrive. The suspect initially gained access to the one-story home by forcing open a front kitchen window.

He was described to police as light skinned, 5 feet 6inches tall, 145 pounds, wearing black clothing and ablack mask over his eyes.

The resident immediately called police after the sus-

pect fled the area. Police conducted an area check forthe suspect, but were unable to locate him.

After reviewing forensic evidence left at the scene,police were able to track down the suspect later in theday. At 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, the 17-year-old wasarrested at his home on suspicion of burglary. A searchof his room turned up additional evidence linking himto the crime scene, Lt. Vander Veen said.

According to police records, the suspect lives onWhittier Avenue, less than a mile from the Morning-side Drive home where the incident took place.

On Friday morning, the District Attorneys Office ofLos Angeles County filed 3 felony criminal counts

against the teenager of residential burglary, one count assault with intent to commit sexual battery and oncount of lewd or lascivious acts with a minor.

Claremont Police Lieutenant Dennis Smith said thdue to the seriousness of the crime, the District Attoneys Office is prosecuting him as an adult.

Based on the statements we obtained, we believe h

has been at the house on more than one occasion anhas never stolen any property from the house that ware aware of, Lt. Vander Veen said. We are currentconducting further investigation to determine his pupose for entering the house.

In interviews with police, the juvenile admitted beininside the home, Lt. Vander Veen said. Police officiawould not go into further detail about the nature of thbreak-in, citing an ongoing investigation.

The juvenile is currently being held without bail Los Padrinos Juvenile Detention Center.

Police arrest prowler after resident gives chase

AClaremont High School footballstar was given a 6-month prisonsentence on Wednesday morning

for having unlawful sex with 2 underageclassmates.

Tyler Singleton, 18, will begin his sentence on June9, allowing him time to complete his high school edu-cation. He no longer attends Claremont High School.

The Pomona resident was arrested in February fol-lowing allegations he raped a 14-year-old classmate ina public bathroom in Cahuilla Park near the highschool. At the time, Mr. Singleton admitted during aninterview with police to having sex with the girl, butclaimed it was consensual.

Later another 15-year-old classmate came forward toaccuse Mr. Singleton of an inappropriate sexual rela-tionship.

Based on evidence provided by police, prosecutorsin March filed one felony and one misdemeanor countof statutory rape against Mr. Singleton. He pleaded nocontest to the charges last month.

During the sentencing hearing, Mr. Singletonsmother Rita Singleton addressed the court, saying herson leads a positive and productive life. He has vol-unteered at nursing homes and has done other commu-nity service and is active in his church, she said.

This incident has caused him and the family muchpain and suffering and the punishment you are seekingfor him is not commensurate with the overall circum-stances, Ms. Singleton said.

Prosecutor Lauren Guber read a statement from the14-year-old victim in the case.

This young man Tyler Singleton took somethingfrom me, something I cannot get back. As a result ofwhat he has done to me, my entire world has beenturned upside down. I had to change schools and loseevery single one of my friends, teachers, coaches and

mentors.The victims mother also addressed the court, urgingCommission Wade Olson to give Mr. Singleton themaximum sentence.

[My daughter has] paid a hefty price for doing theright thing, but shes encouraged by the fact that hope-fully nobody else will have to go through this night-

mare. She knows that Claremont High School is a safplace because Tyler is no longer there.

Tyler is a predator of the worst kind. He has nproblem taking advantage of the young and vulnerble, she added.

Mr. Singleton declined to give a statement during thearing.

After the hearing, the victims mother claimed thewere more victims out there and said Mr. Singleton anhis friends tried to intimidate her daughter not to comforward. She said the 2 were never in a dating relatioship when the incident happened.

I dont think justice was served today, the womsaid. He should have been charged with forceabrape.

Mr. Singleton, a senior, had been the starting runnin

back for the Claremont High School football team sinhis sophomore year. He transferred to CHS midwthrough his freshman year.

He was the leading rusher in the Baseline Leagduring the 2008-09 season and was named to the ABaseline League the past 2 seasons.

Chaparral ElementarySchool teacher Mari-lyn Chadwick and

Claremont Faculty Association(CFA) bargaining chair JoeTonan believe the ClaremontUnified School District hasshown a lack of respect for itsteachers.

Both Ms. Chadwick and Mr. Tonanvoiced their concerns to the CUSD boardat Thursdays board meeting when theytouched on the latest negotiations be-tween the district and CFA.

The disrespect and unprofessional-ism the district has shown its teachers isvery, very sad, Ms. Chadwick said.Claremont teachers are exceptionalteachers. The portrayal of the adminis-tration [of teachers being] selfish and not

team players is untrue. You as the boardneed to put a stop to this degrading com-munication.

Ms. Chadwick went on to say thatteachers support the district every day bydoing their jobs effectively. She also sug-gested the district use reserves in orderto help retain teachers.

Mr. Tonan said the lack of respectstems back to an incident involving

School Services of California Inc. CEORon Bennett. Hired as a mediator for the

district and CFA last summer, Mr. Tonandiscovered the districts intention ofusing Mr. Bennett as a member of its ne-gotiating team at the March 10th negoti-ations meeting. The incident causedtension between the groups, as the dis-trict had not informed the union about itsplan to add Mr. Bennett.

Before the board could vote to ap-prove Mr. Bennetts addition to the

CUSD negotiations team, Superintend-ent Terry Nichols announced the dis-

tricts decision to end its contract wiMr. Bennett. According to Mr. Tonan, thmove was a step in the right direction fnegotiations to resume but other obstcles have appeared since March.

When the parcel tax was being contemplated, I asked to be on that team sthat we could get help from the teacheon that, Mr. Tonan said. A questionaire went out that was supposed to havbeen read by everybody on the teamnever received a copy of that. There wethings that I totally objected to that weon that [questionnaire]. But I was nevgiven a chance to look at that before was sent out.

The CFA bargaining chair also pointeout that the districts attorney has beencause for failed negotiations betweeboth sides.

Weve asked for respect at the taband not being laughed at the tableweve had that happen to us, Mr. Tonsaid. Weve asked that theres not talking over the top of peopleI had to cacaucuses to put a stop to it. It needs stop and we need to get back to a place stability. And with the attorney whothere now, there is very little chance that happening.

Superintendent Nichols announcethe districts decision to declare an impasse after negotiations took place oApril 15th. The district plans to obtainmediator through the Public EmployeRelations Board to continue negotitions.

It is our hope that the state mediatcan assist in determining a resolution anprovide some equitable solution thsaves jobs in the district and allows thdistrict to balance the budget, thCUSD superintendent said after makinthe announcement.

At Thursdays meeting, Superintenent Nichols declared his respect fteachers during his report and emphsized keeping students as the highest prority.

Its not about a respect for jobsIvsaid this many times that the most diffcult job is teaching, he said. Youre oyour feet, youre working mentally anphysically the entire day and what yodo is difficult but you have a passion fkids.

Ms. Chadwick believes students benefit the most when the district does wh

is best for teachers as well.Support for the teachers means sup

port for the children of Claremont Unfied School District, she said.

With the end of the current schoolyear rapidly approaching andwith district provided summer

school for kindergarten through 8th gradecanceled this summer, organizations suchas the Claremont Educational Foundation(CEF) and Project Think are trying to helpbridge the gap.

CEFs Slice of Summer and Project Thinks SummerProgram for Academically Motivated Students are 2educational options available for parents who desire toprovide their children with enrichment experiences dur-ing the summer.

We feel bad that students who need remedial serv-ices wont have that as an option for the summer, saidCEF member Jessica Marchant. The districts are inextreme financial difficulty and what were trying to dois offer a program that will not be remedial but willmeet kids at any level of academic achievement.

Project Think promotes itself as a program for everychild. The organization is currently in its 30th year ofproviding summer enrichment for kids from kinder-garten through junior high school.

We believe that all children are gifted, said ProjectThink co-founder Susan Warren. All children deserve

to have a great educational experience. We get childrenwho havent had good experiences at school and afterthey go through the program, parents tell us that wehave given their children a love for learning.

Program fees cover teacher salariesBoth CEF and Project Thinks programs come with

at least a $200 price tag per session and can cost asmuch as $1200 depending on the number or length ofcourses. A large portion of the fees is used to pay in-structors.

Both organizations recognize concerns regarding af-

fordability and plan to use any leftover resources to as-sist students who come from low-income families.

We have a partnership with Uncommon Good andwe offer slots to families with them, Ms. Marchant

said. For the more academic courses at the junior highor high school level, we have a limited number ofscholarships that may be available. We need to makesure that we cover the cost of the program first but wewant to accommodate as many students as we can.

Project Think also plans to offer scholarships if anyfunding is left over after the registration period. Ms.Warren is currently exploring other options to offermore support for potential students.

The amount we charge covers our expenses butwhat we try to do when we have money left over isoffer partial scholarships, she said. Weve been talk-ing with a parent who is a grant writer and our goal isto get grant funding so we can help more people.

CEF program gives back to the schoolsCEFs Slice of Summer is one of several ways the

foundation raises money to support the Claremont Uni-fied School District. The organization provides the dis-trict with approximately $100,000 annually to help fundtechnology, art and music within the district. Its goal isto raise $500,000 this year.

This years summer offering includes early morning,mid-morning, afternoon and full day courses. The fullday classes are available for kindergarten through 6thgraders and help students transition into the next grade.

Ceramics, computer education, leadership, digitalphotography, speech and debate, tennis, creative writ-ing and foreign language are a sample of the 53 total

course offerings.Kids who have been struggling can find a place

become more prepared for next year and the kids whhave excelled will be challenged by the different typ

of activities, Ms. Marchant said.

Continuing a tradition of inspiring kidsBeginning 30 years ago with 15 students, Proje

Think has grown over the last 3 decades to becomesummer destination for both local and internationkids. The non-profit organization seeks to stimulate anmotivate students to explore a wide range of intereswith a small student-to-teacher ratio that allows smagroup and individual instruction.

Entitled Diving Into Oceanography, this years themwill give all of Project Thinks courses an ocean focuThe summer program offers 13 courses divided up bgrade levels in morning and afternoon sessions. Thcourses available include computer programming, lierature and writing, art history, oceanography, ThinTank and Spanish.

We discuss themes that would be really exciting fthe kids during the summer and a theme we can havour classes around, Ms. Warren said. We focus oareas kids dont get much of during the school year bcause of the emphasis on test scores as a result of NChild Left Behind.

Project Think begins its program on June 21st anCEFs Slice of Summer will begin one week later oJune 28. For more information on both organizationcontact CEF at 399-1709 or Project Think at 717-784

Improving childrens lives one bus at a time

Every year, around Mothers Day, the non-profit

organization Get on the Bus gives children fromCalifornia the chance to visit their mothers in

prison. Get on the Bus offers free transportation for thechildren and their accompanying caregivers to the Cen-tral California Womens Facility in Chowchilla, Cali-fornia.

Based in West Hollywood, Get on the Bus has chap-ters all over California and is expanding to other statesand countries in the near future. The Claremont chap-ter, located at Scripps College, is headed by ElizabethDeGori.

This year, the bus was scheduled to leave for thewomens facility yesterday morning at 3 a.m. andshould have arrived to the facility at 8 a.m. today. Alongthe way, the children will receive travel bags filled withcrayons, coloring books and other toys, a blanket forthe 5-hour bus ride and breakfast. Once the bus reaches

the facility, the 4-hour visitation begins with a providedlunch, board games and time to sit and talk.

By the end of the trip, which is around 9 p.m., the

children will receive a letter from their parent, a teddybear and post-event counseling.

The Claremont chapter was initiated by from Ms.DeGori, who after serving as an intern at the West Hol-lywood office, wanted to do more with the program Inaddition to visiting the Chowchilla facility, the Clare-mont chapter also volunteers at Cultivating Dreams, anorganic garden located at the California Institution forWomen in Southern California.

Each bus trip, which holds up to 30 kids, cost nearly$4000. Nearly half of the money comes from fundrais-ers like Donut for Donations during which more than30 volunteers visit all 45 dorms scattered across thePomona Colleges campus and sell $1 donuts to sugardeprived studying students. In addition to the fundrais-ing, other organizations, such as the Women and Crim-inal Justice Network donate funds.

To apply, inmates at the facility fill out an applica-tion requesting that their child visit them. Get on the

Bus administrators then determine which kids be a

forded a visit.Claremont chapter organizer Ms. DeGori said th

the mother-chid reunions can be life-changing to families, particularly the children.

Most of these children only get to see their mothonce a year. The parents are also thrilled to see thechildren. Most of them plan their year around this onevent, she said.

6/27


Iwalk most weekday mornings with myfriend, Helen. If we didnt do this wewould become wooden and unable to

move. We walk, we talk, we plan and

sometimes we commiserate with eachothers woes. We are well matched com-panions and we need each other to keep atthe walking. We have done this for manyyears.

Often, as we have walked on the college grounds wepass the dining halls where we smell the breakfastsmells and think about food. A few weeks ago we madeconcrete plans to try all of the college dining halls for6 days and find out what it was like to eat ones mealslike college students, how the dining halls differed fromone another in food choice and preparation, what theatmosphere was like, how the food was served andwhat the students seemed to choose. It turned out to bean interesting experience.

Pomona has two dining halls, Frary and Frank.

Pitzers is McConnell. CMCs is Collins, Scripps hasMalott Commons, and Harvey Mudds is Hoch/Shana-han.

I was surprised to see that there were far fewer stu-dents eating at the different breakfast hours that we at-tended than I have observed during lunch time whenthe dining rooms were quite full.

We noticed that most students seemed to study in themorning as they ate. Breakfast offerings are much morelimited than at other meals and many of the stands areempty.

There was always a variety of eggs on offer readymade and sitting under heating lamps at all of the din-ing halls. Scripps was the only one to offer ready madescrambled egg whites but a few of the others used eggwhites when they made omelets to order if one wanted.I did.

Some had sausages or bacon under the lamps andtwo offered vegan patties as well. At one there was atofu scramble and Scripps offered cheese and chips.Harvey Mudd offered small burritos. Mudd had a verypopular section where someone made smoothies toorder and the line was always long. I had one and it wasquite good and fresh. At McConnell there was an area

with blenders and one could make theirown smoothies. Frary and Frank had thesmoothies ready made and lined up with their own spe-cial uniforms labeled, vegan, with yogurt, and with soymilk.

Hot cereals were always available. Some schools hadone choice others had two. One was always oatmealbut Scripps offered grits. Some had potatoes. The mostpopular potato dish was tater tots and one student toldme he comes to one specific dining hall as the tater tots

are the crispiest. I agreed.There was always a selection of breads, bagels andEnglish muffins with a variety of styles of toasters. Theones with the revolving toaster required one to standthere and put the toast back on until it was nice andbrown. I did a lot of tossing my bagel on over and over.There were always pastries on offer but Harvey Muddhad the biggest variety. Many provided waffle irons andbatter, which I tried, but mine was doughy and I could-nt eat it. Often the waffle irons were far away from theserving area.

There was always an area full of dry cereals as wellas an abundance of fresh and canned fruits such as mel-ons, berries, pineapple and canned peaches or pears andbowls of apples, oranges and bananas. Machines dis-pensed juices but at one I got to squeeze my own orange

juice. There was always a block of machines where one

could get all sorts of teas, coffees, milks and juices butwhat was available varied from school to school.All the rooms were bright and airy, most of them

having large blocks of windows letting in lots of light.Frary is the oldest and is in the Spanish Style with a

huge Mexican period mural at one end. Students havemeal cards and can use them to eat at whatever campus

they choose. Some told me they know what being served where and when and choose by thmenu.

Another student told me he could use his carat a campus cafe for a hamburger meal instea

of going to the dining hall. I liked knowing tha

there was this kind of flexibility.There are no trays on offer any longer. Dining pe

sonnel told us that there was just too much waste whethe students used them and then extra water was needeto clean them. We spent a lot of time balancing plateor piling up food. Students pay a small fee at the bginning of the semester for a reusable green box whicthey can fill to take out their food. When they return to a bin they can get another for the next meal. There arsigns announcing that leftover food is donated to homeless centers and womens centers. The food is pickeup daily. I think that is great. There are also maps showing the farms where the food comes from.

When I went into the bathroom at Harvey Muddsaw signs in every cubicle telling how to help a frienwith an eating disorder and 5 ways to love your bodNumber five was eat when you are hungry. I need t

remember that. I found the use of the lists compellinand interesting.We were impressed that there were offerings for ve

gans and vegetarians and for those who didnt wish eat whole eggs. Most offered milks for the lactose intolerant as well as non dairy choices. There was alsoposted sign for people who had food allergies. Thewas always a great selection of condiments, yogurt

jams, toppings etc.I usually eat one thing for breakfast. Faced with s

much food I took and ate much more than I reallneeded or even wanted, but it was there and I wanted ttry it all.

Six days of this eating was way more than I couhappily deal with. We dragged in on the sixth day aready feeling overloaded before we even began. Walso took less that day. There were too many starche

for my aging body and no green food. Helen said shhad gained a pound at the end of the week. I didnt evebother to weigh myself.

Now when we smell the smells and sniff the air neto the dining halls we have a good idea what goes on inside. Things are certainly better than my days at Unversity dining halls.

T

he Pacific League has a familiarboys volleyball league champi-onship after Tuesday nights match

at Claremont High School.Taking advantage of Crescenta Valleys mistakes that

resulted in 14 bad serves and a flurry of hitting errors,Claremont made short work of the Falcons in 3 straightgames (25-12, 25-17, 25-16) to capture its 5th consecu-tive Pacific League crown in its final home match of theregular season.

Honestly, its unreal because Geoff [Powell] and Icame in with no experience and to have done somethinglike this is amazing, said Patrick Stalwick, who finishedwith 6 kills.

Powell led all Wolfpack players with 11 kills while

Steven Kirkpatrick dished out 23 assists. Claremont setthe tone early in the first game by scoring 8 straightpoints and never looked back in winning the first frame.The Falcons were more competitive in the last 2 gamesbut never led by more than 2 points.

The final point in the match was scored when Cres-centa Valleys server tripped after tossing the ball in theair and was unable to complete the serve. CHS receiveda standing ovation from the home crowd when thematch ended.

Our team chemistry is the biggest part of our successbecause theres no arguments between uswere all justone family, Powell said. We rely on each other and ifone of us misses a play, then well make sure to get thenext ball.

With Thursdays loss to Burbank Burroughs in 4games, the Pack finishes the 2010 Pacific League sched-ule with a 9-1 league record. Claremont almost sweptevery league match it won this season with the exceptionof its March 31st encounter at Arcadia. CHS won thematch in 4 games.

Yet CHS has a bigger goal in mind than league titles

the CIF Southern Section championship. The Wolfpacwill find out the identity of its first round opponent aftthe pairings are announced on Sunday.

The past 2 years, weve been doing to the quarterfnals and last year, just one point separated us from th

semifinals, Powell said. Weve come to the poiwhere were expected to at least go to the quarterfinabut we are hoping to go all the way this year.

Claremont head coach Bernie Wendling seconds Powells desire to see the Wolfpack advance past the quaterfinals in the playoffs. He said the team has improvein blocks throughout the season and will need to cdown on service errors in order to play against toughplayoff competition.

We understand that there is another level to get toCoach Wendling said. Its doable and we just need to bdiligent and focused in the playoffs. The thing thmakes this fun is that they are a great group of guyTheyre great on the court but also are good people othe court. And thats what makes me want to see hofar they will go [in the playoffs].
