The more things change...
Dear Editor: A newspaper tells me that Claremont is placing dibs on a portion of Route 66 which runs through town as Foothill Boulevard. In the 1930s (1934-1938) I was a Claremont High School student when the high school was sited at the southeast corner of the intersection of Foothill and Indian Hill boulevards. During those four school years, I frequently rode my bike up Indian Hill to the concrete pedestrian tunnel which ran under Foothill Boulevard to the high school. (The boulevard was also posted as U.S. 66.) I eased my bike down the steps into the tunnel and up again toward the high schools front entrance. Just as frequently, I pedaled north on Berkeley Avenue, crossed the two-lane highway when the traffic was clearthis was seldom a problemand rode straight to the high schools bicycle parking area. In those days, Claremont was surrounded by orange and lemon groves, Pomona College and Scripps College were already thriving, and Mount Baldy was the little citys backdrop, as I presume it still is. I used to bike to Pomona to get 25 cent haircuts. (In Claremonts one barber shop a haircut cost 65 cents.) Stanley Larson edited the Claremont COURIER then. Four months ago, I observed my 90th birthday.

Saturday, August 21 Former Claremont High School tennis star Torsten Keil-Long was arrested in Los Angeles for possession of the illegal drug Ecstasy. Mr. Keil-Long, 19, was one of over 80 people arrested at the Love Festival, a rave held at the Los Angeles Sports Arena, said Officer Karen Rayner, Public Information Officer for the LAPD. Most of the arrests were for drug possession and underage guests with fake IDs. Mr. Keil-Long graduated from CHS in 2009 and attended UC Davis last year. During his prep career, he was a 3-time tennis team captain, a 4-time team MVP and helped lead the Wolfpack to its first Southern Section championship in school history. Mr. Keil-Long was arrested at 6:45 p.m. and released the following day. His bail was set at $10,000. His next court date is scheduled for Thursday, SeptemCOURIER photos/Steven Felschundneff ber 16.

wallet and the robbers fled the area on foot. The men are described as Hispanic males in their mid-20s. Police were unable to locate the suspects. Sunday, August 29 A Moorpark man was arrested for the second time in as many weeks on drug related charges. Jeffrey Clonts, 49, was driving southbound on Padua Avenue at 2:30 a.m. without his steering lights on. An officer observed the driver and pulled him over. During a consensual search of the vehicle, the officer found a plastic container with methamphetamine inside. He was arrested for possession of the illegal drug. Last week, Mr. Clonts was arrested for being under the influence of methamphetamine after his father called police to report his son had been using the drug. Tuesday, August 31 Two suspected residential burglars managed to slip away despite the presence of about a dozen police officers, a Chino Hills K-9 unit and a Los Angeles County Search and Rescue helicopter hovering overhead. At 10:25 a.m., police received a call from a passerby who reported seeing 2 men hopping over the backyard wall of a home at the corner of Scripps Drive and Santa Rosa Court near Claremont High School. Police arrived at the scene minutes later and searched the home and surrounding neighborhood, but were unable to locate the suspects. A window at the home had been shattered. Police are unsure if entry was made or if any property was stolen. After about 2 hours of searching, police finished up and allowed residents on the block to return home. The suspects are described as black males wearing white t-shirts with baggy black pants. *** A resident chased off 2 would-be thieves who were caught burglarizing his vehicle. The vehicle was parked in the driveway of the home on the 300 block of Notre Dame Road. Around 9:20 p.m., the resident heard a noise in front of the house and went to inspect the cause of the disturbance. Upon seeing the burglars through a window, the resident ran outside and began chasing the thieves. The suspects ran off and dropped a backpack in the street that was taken from the vehicle. Police later conducted an area check but the burglars were not located. Wednesday, September 1 Police located a 79-year-old man suffering from dementia after his family reported him missing. A family member who was called by the man notified police about 12:30 p.m. The man apparently became disoriented while hiking on Webb Canyon Road. Los Angeles County Sheriffs Search and Rescue helicopter was deployed to locate him. He and his dog were eventually found about 2 miles north of Base Line Road and were both suffering from dehydration.

She was bitten on the arm by the gun-wielding woman but still managed to take the gun away. The woman was detained by the co-worker, but was later allowed to leave without the weapon. The victims originally did not report the incident to police until they consulted with a lawyer who urged them to do so. Later that evening, the restaurant workers went to the Claremont Police Department to report what happened. The attacker also went to the police station to make a statement about the incident. While there, Ying Tian, 42, of Fontana was arrested for assault with a firearm. She later posted bail and was released. The co-worker who was bitten during the earlier altercation suffered redness and bite marks on her arm, but did not require medical attention. *** A 23-year-old woman called police to report a prowler was peering through her window blinds. The man was standing just outside her bedroom window with his face very close to the glass, she told police.

He is described as a Hispanic male in his 20s wearing a white T-shirt. No evidence was found at the scene.

much as you need my money. The retirees cited Article 11.1.4a of the contract that states, For such retiree, the Districts contribution shall remain current with that of a full-time employees premium. CUSD Assistant Superintendent of Business Services Lisa Shoemaker said what retirees are being asked to pay is comparable to current employees and was decided on by the various employee groups represented in the Shared Decision Making Committee. This is coming out of the benefits committee that was representative of all employee groups, Ms. Shoemaker said. What we were focused on was how we could get the most bang for our buck in terms of benefits. The retirees are not asked to pay more than active employees. New benefit rates for CUSD employees working in 100 percent full-time positions are $115 to cover only the employee, $215 for an employee and one other per-

type of funding are few. The board approved a resolution in July that allows Measure CL to be placed on the November 2nd ballot. Since then, the Committee to Support Claremont Schools has released a project list with estimated costs broken down into 4 sections (technology, modernization and repairs, sustainability, debt elimination). No estimates for specific projects were listed. Ten years ago, the $48.9 million Measure Y bond was passed by a 68 percent vote. Approximately $30 million of the bond has yet to be paid off. Samuelson, Stopani sworn in Claremont High Schools Alanna Samuelson and San Antonio High Schools Karen Stopani both repeated the Claremont Unified School District student board member oath of office. The new student board members took their seats among district officials and board members to become the 2nd duo to serve a full year term since the district moved to the format in 2009. In previous years, one student board member would
serve from July through December and the other would serve from January through June. Alanna has participated on the CHS speech and debate team for 3 years while serving as captain for 2 of those years. She is a volunteer for the Speech and Debate Summer Institute and has played AYSO soccer for 6 years. Hoping to graduate early, Karen has won 2 awards for highest grade point average at San Antonio. Her plans following graduation involve attending a junior college for 2 years before transferring to a university to study zoology. Both student board members were originally appointed by the board at the June 24th meeting after being nominated by the Interschool Council. Board policy incorporates myriad of perspectives A resolution to approve nearly 90 pages of revised board policies turned into a lengthy discussion involving board members, student board members and teachers. While the board voted to approve the revisions, the members also agreed to pull out a policy regarding differential graduation and competency standards regarding students with disabilities for further discussion. Mr. Llanusa said he believes the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) should not be the only factor that determines whether a student graduates or not. The board member believes that students without disabilities should also be given the option to earn a certificate of completion for fulfilling all credit requirements regardless of whether they pass the CAHSEE or not. The student board members agreed with Mr. Llanusas perspective. I just want to say that I agree with Mr. Llanusa, Alanna said. The fact that we as students spend our entire lives trying to graduatethat is our goaland to have one simple test not allow us to graduate kind of belittles us.
CUSD Board of Education President Hilary Laconte, right, swears in student board members, Alanna Samuelson and Karen Stopani at the CUSD board meeting Thursday. Representing CHS and San Antonio high schools, the students will serve as the voice of their schools at board meetings during the 2010-2011 academic school year.
an you imagine Claremont without women voting? Of course not! But for many years after our settlement, only men could vote. Nevertheless a way was found whereby women could participate.
Claremont was quite removed from the rest of Los Angeles County. The county paid little attention to the town, and the state had no municipal organization for towns of less than 500 inhabitants. It was logical, then, for a little band of settlers, mostly from New England, to use the form of government with which most of them were familiar: the town meeting. At the Claremont Town Meeting everyone over the age of 21, men and women, could speak and vote. The last remaining notice of a Claremont Town Meeting is one in the spring of 1907, asking the citizens of Claremont to vote to consider the incorporation of the city of Claremont. The only woman listed on the notice, although unable to vote, was Isabella Gates, who was a selectman at the town meeting. There were actually 3 women elected to Claremonts Town Meeting before Claremont was a city and before California women were granted suffrage in 1911: Ella Baldwin, Pamelia Colcord and Isabella Smith Gates. The eyes of the nation were on California in 1911, when male voters flocked to the polls to approve womens right to vote by a wide margin in the statewide referendum. Ours was the sixth and largest state to approve womens suffrage in the United States. However, women could only vote on local and state-wide issues, not on national issues. Most of the controversy about women voting in Claremont occurred before the 1911 referendum. One debate took place at the Mens Union at the Congregational Church where the consensus was that women should not be given the right to vote. The following week at the Cactus Club (the towns literary society, open to all), the COURIER reported that, unlike at the church, many women were present. Mr. Vaile was the only man present who had the courage of his convictions and when the ladies got through with him he looked as if he would like to ask, where were you when the cyclone hit? Mr. Vaile made a strong presentation of the anti side of the question. He quoted from some of the most distinguished men and women of the country...But when he finished and a general discussion ensued, the ladies from the various parts of the house quickly demonstrated that Vailes opinions were below par in the Cactus Club and that there was very little ground the anti-suffragette could take that did not have a seismic disturbance under it. On a general level, the crusade for womens rights evolved out of the fight for abolition and established itself as a separate movement when a group of female abolitionists were made conscious of their own inferior legal status by the abolitionist movement itself. Women, including many early Claremont settlers, were working on the woman question throughout the 19th century, well before the late century formation of the womens suffrage organizations. Many Claremont women began their political work with participation in one or more reform organizations: the social gospel, temperance, peace, womens suffrage, or anti-prostitution. Records tell us that the prevalent movement among the early Claremont women, besides suffrage, was temperance; many were members of the Womens Christian Temperance Union (WCTU), and Claremont had an active chapter. A very popular movement in the 19th century Congregational church, temperance, remained the largest enduring middle class movement of that century. Women in the WCTU considered themselves as defenders of the many women who had drunken husbands and had no legal rights to their children or their property. Ironically, some men who fought suffrage thought it would break up the family unit but Claremont women
in the WCTU thought that suffrage, temperance, and changes in laws affecting families were necessary to give women the power to sustain their family unit. Ninety years ago last month all women received the right to vote at all levels of government. While the issue received little opposition or fanfare in California, the rest of the country took about 70 years to accept the change. Gail Collins tells us: That great suffragist and excellent counter, Carrie Chapman Catt [mother of the League of Women Voters], estimated that the struggle had involved 56 referendum campaigns directed at male voters, plus 480 campaigns to get Legislatures to submit suffrage amendments to voters, 47 campaigns to get constitutional conventions to write woman suffrage into state constitutions; 277 campaigns to get State party conventions to include woman suffrage planks, 30 campaigns to get presidential party campaigns to include woman suffrage planks in party platforms and 19 campaigns with 19 successive Congresses. And you thought health care reform was a drawn-out battle. Using committees, organizations and elected and appointed office, women have played an important role in Claremonts public life continuously since Claremonts inception. Steeped in good organizational experience and New England standards of citizen participation, women have used their collective voice to influence community values and legislation through such organizations as the Claremont Womens Club, Womens Union of Claremont Congregational Church, PFAs, Claremont Coordinating Council, League of Women Voters, Junior Womens Club, Intercultural Council, Club de Damas, Claremont Garden Club, neighborhood organizations and many other groups. On Sunday, September 12, the League of Women Voters of the Claremont Area will celebrate the 90th anniversary of women having the power of the ballot. Join us at Padua Hills Theatre from 2 to 4 p.m. for this observance and an interesting program.
alifornia State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack OConnell has announced that $1.2 billion from the federal Education Jobs Fund could be distributed to districts throughout the state if Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger approves Senate Bill (SB) 847.
If passed, the bill will help save jobs in California schools by providing funds to keep, recall or rehire current and former employees, as well as hire new employees for early childhood, primary and secondary grade levels. Along with funding salaries for educational-related employment, the funds can also be used to cancel out furlough days and add school days back on the calendar. As soon as the governor signs this bill into law, we can start the process of distributing the funds to schools, Mr. OConnell said in a released statement. The proposed Senate bill is the result of the Education Jobs and Medicaid Assistance Act that was signed into law by President Barack Obama on August 10th. California state legislature has already approved the bill.
The amount each district receives depends on the preliminary calculations based on state revenue-limit formulas. Revenue limits are the funds a school district may receive for each student in average daily attendance total number of days of student attendance divided by the number of days in the school year. According to Mr. OConnell, the estimates were made to give districts an indication of how much money they could be receiving. The total amount of the Education Jobs Fund is $10 billion. Districts need to know how much they can expect from the Education Jobs Fund so they can meet their students educational needs by hiring or protecting jobs for teachers, nurses, counselors, paraeducators, and other important school personnel, Mr. OConnell said. Claremont is currently slated to receive up to an estimated $1,333,712 if the bill passes. Yet CUSD Assistant Superintendent of Business Services Lisa Shoemaker said the figure will be more around $1 million. Were all a little unsure about how much money the state may take for activities related to that money, she said. There are some restrictions on how much they can take. I think its a maximum of 10 percent. We are estimating at this point somewhere between $800,000 and $1.2 million. Right now Id say a million dollars is kind
of the ball park figure that we can use when were talking about what kind of relief we might anticipate. ith the present agreement between CUSD and the Claremont Faculty Association indicating that certificated employees (teachers, counselors, nurses) will have to pay $3000 into a benefits pool over the next 2 years, part of the funds could be used to restore some of that money being paid into the pool. Its good newsits something for us to look forward to, said CUSD Superintendent Terry Nichols. When we talk about the sacrifices within the district of the employees, this will allow us to go back and use this money to assist with those sacrifices, to help with restoration as well as jobs. Im hoping that the California legislature does not change some method but to have that on the governors desk is a very positive thing. Federal legislation states 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. No date has been set for when the money would be distributed. For more information, visit the California Department of Education at www.cde.ca.gov.

he Pomona-Pitzer mens soccer team will have to make some adjustments in order to be ready to defend its Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) title this year.
The Sagehens opened the 2010 season Wednesday at home against Division II squad Cal State San Marcos, but it was the Cougars who got the best of PomonaPitzer in a 2-0 shutout. It was a good game to see everybody play and to see what we needed to work on, said Pomona-Pitzer coach Bill Swartz. We have to do better with the ball. I thought we had a good willingness to defend and our back 4 did a good job. But we have to pass the ball better. Not having a week to prepare hurt us but overall, were not displeased. Cal States 2 goals came about in circus-like fashion. The teams had played 47 minutes before the Cougars Dan Sims scored on a 35-yard kick that appeared to be

successfully stopped by Pomona-Pitzer goalie Rollie Thayer, but found its way into the net. The second goal came in the 74th minute as Cal States Max Blumenshine knocked the ball off the crossbar and then bounced off a Sagehen defender into the net. Their goals didnt come by setting up plays and seeing them through, Coach Swartz said. They scored because we were sloppy. Pomona-Pitzer struggled to find an offensive groove throughout the contest. As a result, the Sagehens were on defense for the majority of the match because of their inability to maintain possession. We have to work on building the attack and keeping the ball, said PomonaPitzer senior defender Eben Perkins, who was the 2009 SCIAC Player of the Year. We have to possess the ball. Perkins and fellow senior defender Alec Larson are the only returning Sagehens who were named to last years AllSCIAC First Team. The 2009 season was a historical one for Pomona-Pitzer as the team won its first outright SCIAC title in 29 seasons with a record of 13-4-2 overall (11-1-2 in SCIAC).
Larson believes his team can repeat as the SCIAC champion this season and move on even further than last year. He also enjoyed what he saw from his team defensively on Wednesday. I liked the work rate that we had defensively, how we popped the ball out of the air and kept our bodies in front of the ball, Larson said. Regarding SCIAC, Im expecting the same thing as last year. The Sagehens will play Azusa Pacific and Chapman before moving on to their SCIAC schedule on September 15th at Whittier. Pomona-Pitzer will play Claremont-Mudd-Scripps on October 2nd and October 27th. With their next game not scheduled till Wednesday, the Sagehens will also have more time to practice in preparation for the remaining 16 games this season. After this Wednesdays match at Azusa Pacific, the team will play every 3 to 4 days for the remainder of the year. I think well win SCIAC again, said Pomona-Pitzer senior midfielder Zach Mirman. And from there, well get into the tournament and win some games. Since I was a freshman, weve been getting better every year.

ichele Allen, a resident of Claremont for 46 years, recently entered the Ms. Senior America, California Pageant. At the preliminary level, Ms. Allen finished first in talent and third overall. At the final competition, Ms. Allen won Ms. Congeniality and first runner-up.
The Ms. Senior America, California Pageant started in 1986 to allow women who have reached the Age of Elegance to step into the spotlight and accept the recognition they rightly deserve. The 2010 pageant circuit began in July with a preliminary pageant in Culver City. The top 3 preliminary winners were then eligible to enter the Ms. Senior America, California pageant in Carlsbad. Each pageant is made up of 4 sections of 10points each, including interview, evening gown or modeling, talent and a
35-second speech on an impromptu topic. Ms. Allen entered the pageant to satisfy her curiosity and for the thrill of a new adventure. At a Ladies Leadership meeting, the speaker of the evening had once been chosen as Ms. Senior America, explained Ms. Allen. She encouraged me to look into entering one because she felt I would be a good prospective contestant. After receiving an email from the pageants director and encouragement from her family, Ms. Allen decided to enter the preliminary pageant. Every summer, I teach summer school, but with academic cut-backs, I wasnt able to this summer. The pageant was something new and exciting, said Ms. Allen. My family was the most encouraging. When I asked if I should really do it, they said Of course! You have always taught everyone to go for a goal as you will never know until you try. After committing to the pageant, Ms. Allen started to review the performance requirements and train.

My first challenge was deciding on a talent, stated Ms. Allen. My family suggested that since I used to work at Knotts Berry Farm as a cancan dancer, why not use that past experience. With some choreography help from Sue Gehringer of Esperanza High School and a costume courtesy of her old
employer, Ms. Allen was ready for the talent portion. For the speech and interview section, Ms. Allen enlisted the help of Dr. Gary Iida, a former Claremont High Band Director, and her 2 daughters, Michele Petersen and Roberta Schuller. They coached me on the interview and gown walk portions, explained Ms. Allen. I was able to practice my speech, walk and talent for many weeks at Tay-
lor Hall with Cinnamon Alverez, a former captain of the Claremont Dance Team. After reflecting on the pageant, it is safe to say that Ms. Allen has gotten a lot from this experience. I have taken a feeling of tremendous personal success in knowing that I set a goal, gave it the time and effort and saw it through, Ms. Allen said. I am the only one who has won top talent and Ms.
Congeniality. I realize now, more than ever, that it is never to late to set new goals and embark on new adventures. When asked if she would like to enter again next year, Ms. Allen stated, Probably not. I won so much more than I ever expected. I would rather remember this as a moment in time making the summer of 2010 a very special summer to remember.

Linda Heilpern
Who? Linda Gianna Heilpern, personal chef, cooking instructor, owner of Cooking Light with Lotsa Flavor. Naturally, Ms. Heilpern is enthralled with cookbooks, so much so that, my cookbook and cooking-related library contains more than 500 books, she said. Most of them, she has devoured cover-to-cover, and not just to determine whats for dinner. I read recipes like they were novels, she said. With almost no end of food and cookbook genres represented in her sizable collection, she explained 4 categories that particularly tickle her fancy, and her palate. 1. Cultural and travel cookbooks: Like a romance novel junkie lost in the pages of a Harlequin, Ms. Heilpern enters the travel and cultural experiences of authors whose slant is international food and cooking practices. The most iconoclastic book in this genre, she noted, is All Around the World Cookbook by Sheila Lukins (first popularized by her book, Silver Palate Cookbook. Her publisher gave her a budget to travel all over the world to every interesting place she could think of and write about the food at each place, said Ms. Heilpern. In more than 500 pages, the author explores the cuisines, ingredients, tastes and cooking styles of 33 countries, presenting her global trek through personal stories and more than 450 recipes. Vegetariana: A Rich Harvest of Wit, Lore, and Recipes, by Nava Atlas, also falls into this category. Interspersed between pages of vegetarian recipes are anecdotes, legends, old wives tales, poems and the like. The book is impressively illustrated by the author. And following her passion to learn about other culturesWhenever I meet someone of a different culture, I have to hold myself back from asking them too many questions, she saidMs. Heilpern collects books in the Culinaria series, which weaves together the food and culture of a particular country in each volume: Italy, Greece, France, Russia, etc.
bookmark
ticle, Ms. Heilpern adored My Life in France, the bestselling memoir by the vivacious and inimitable chef, Julia Child. She also loved The Man Who Ate Everything, by the humorous curmudgeon and Vogue food critic Jeffrey Steingarten, and Climbing the Mango Trees: A Memoir of a Childhood in India, by Madhur Jaffrey, which exposed Ms. Heilpern to divergent lifestyles in the populous country. She told of what childhood was like in India in the privileged realm, but she so obviously turned into an extremely balanced human being with a great understanding of other lifestyles in her country and world, said Ms. Heilpern. 3. Historical books: Continuing her theme of cultural exploration, Ms. Heilpern enjoys books that examine the history of food in various countries. Mark Kurlansky stands as her favorite author in this category, the bestselling author of Salt: A World History and Cod: A Biography of the Fish That Changed the World and other books devoted to examining how a single, common food item has impacted civilization. Salt, for example, has served as currency, influenced trade routes, provoked and financed wars, raised and demolished empires and inspired revolutions. You wouldnt believe the one on cod, said Ms. Heilpern.
Claremont personal chef Linda Heilpern reveres Sheila Lukins All Around the World Cookbook for the authors ability to draw connections between culture, food and travel.
4. Books on the socio-political effects of the modern food supply: Deeply interested in what is happening in
BOOKMARK: LINDA HEILPERN continues on the next page
Each is devoted to a countrys cuisine, not just recipes, but different aspects of cuisine. You find out what a their economy is like, all about their culture, the history of use behind different foods, and sometimes what the religious implications are, she explained. For instance, in a lot of countries, they fast for a huge part of the year, and if you add up the days, its like more than half the year. I find it all entirely fascinating. 2. Memoirs of people passionate about cooking: Like Jess Swick in the most recently published Bookmark ar-

the behind-the-scenes and center-stage food industry, Ms. Heilpern shared a few books on this subject that rise to the top for her. The Omnivores Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals, by Michael Pollan, is an expos about meat and how it arrives at the table; the same author puts out a call to action through his In Defense of Food: An Eaters Manifesto (the manifesto being Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.) Additionally, Ms. Heilpern praised Real Food: What to Eat and Why by Nina Planck. She gets into the science of what essential foods weve been gradually seeing disappear from our diet because of over-industrialization, she said. Past, Present and Future reads: Veering from the food and cooking realm, Ms. Heilpern recently finished reading Stieg Larssons Millennium Trilogy: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest. Interestingly, the author of the suspense/crime novels died of a heart attack at age 50 immediately after securing a publisher for all 3 novels: they were published posthumously. After you read the third, you want a fourth, but its not going to happen unCOURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff Claremont business owner and chef Linda Heilpern likes to read a wide variety of books including the Stieg Larsson trilogy, non-fiction about food politics and Sacred Games by Vikram Chandra. With Ms. Heilpern is her dog Dante.
less someone really gets into his head, said Ms. Heilpern, who belongs to 2 book clubs. Currently, shes consuming the massive novel Sacred Games by Vikram Chandra, enjoying the crime and punishment-style epic for its entertainment value as well as its cultural education, which is aided by a dictionary in the books final pages. Its an interesting submersion into the culture [of Mumbai (Bombay)], including lots of vocabulary, said Ms. Heilpern. In the near future, Ms. Heilpern intends to read Stones into Schools: Promoting Peace with Books, Not Bombs, in Afghanistan and Pakistan, by the bestselling author of Three Cups of Tea, Greg Mortenson. Its that common thread of learning about another culture, said Ms. Heilpern. Favorite book: You know whats hard about that? Ms. Heilpern began. Every time you pick up a new book its a new experience, so it kind of fades away the last one. Favorite book nook: As a frequent amazon.com purchaser, Ms. Heilpern enjoys free shipping so uses the site often. But her favorite brick-and-mortar book nook is the Claremont Forums Thoreau Bookstore in the Packing House. Favorite reading nook: The truth is, she began sheepishly, not realizing the popularity of this most common answer, is that I love to read in bed. Its a good way to slow down and soothe myself before going to sleep.

special exhibition at the Los Angeles County Fair should turn a few heads and raise some eyebrows.
Our Body: The Universe Within offers an innovative way to study human health and anatomy. It features actual human bodies and body parts preserved by polymer impregnation, or the infusing of liquid plastic, into the body. Guests can examine the human body in a way that normally only doctors and surgeons can. Some of the bodies have only the skin removed while others have the muscles pulled away to reveal the bones, tendons and internal organs. I think this exhibit will elevate the educational component of the Fair to a much higher level than ever before, said Rich Crane, chairman of the board of the fair. Bringing the exhibit to the fair was a joint effort by 5 local medical institutions sponsoring the project. They include Casa Colina Centers for Rehabilitative Medicine, Citrus Valley Health Partners, Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center, San Antonio Community Hospital and Western University of Health Sciences. This was a great opportunity for collaboration between the hospitals so that we could get this exhibit here for the benefit of the community, said Rob Curry, CEO of the Citrus Valley Hospital. And from an educational standpoint, its a phenomenal way for anyone to learn more about health and the human body. The exhibit features dozens of bodies and body parts that are separated into 6 different systems of the body; the respiratory, urinary & reproductive, cardiovascular, digestive, head & nervous and musculoskeletal. Mr. Crane said the Fair hopes to bring in about 110,000 students from Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties this year. You never know what will capture the imagination of a child, Mr. Crane said. One or 2 of them may be influenced to become doctors after seeing an exhibit like this. Thats what we hope to accomplish with our educational program. The fair exhibition of Our Body: The Universe Within will be the first time the exhibit is shown outside of a museum or university setting, said Heidi Pinchal, spokesperson for the exhibit. Ticket are $7 at the door and $5 if purchased online. Tickets to the display are normally over $25, Ms. Pinchal said. The exhibit is on the ground floor of the Grandstand at the fair. The Los Angeles County Fair officially opens today and will run hrough October 3. In addition to the Our Body exhibit, this years fair features Esmeraldas Traveling Circus and L.A. in Ice, a display of ice sculptures. Discounts are offered to Claremont residents on Thursday, September 23 for Claremont Day at the Fair. For more information about the L.A. County Fair, visit www.lacountyfair.com.

The exhibit will be open to the public during the Los Angeles County Fair which begins this weekend.

unique view inside the human body

The exhibit features dozens of human bodies that have been dissected so that people can view the muscles, tissues and organs inside. A group of women pose for a photo during the reception for the exhibit Our Body, the Universe Within on Thursday at the Fairplex in Pomona.
One of the first bodies that visitors to the Our Body, The Universe Within exhibit see is a figure of a man with dissected muscles. The show was produced through a partnership between Casa Colina Centers for Rehabilitation, Citrus Valley Health Partners, Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center, San Antonio Community Hospital and Western University of Health Sciences.

During his years at Pomona College, Mr. Jackman was a zoology/pre-med major, a hurdler on the track team, member of the orchestra and band and a member of Zeta Chi Sigma Fraternity. It was
during his freshman year at Pomona that he began his lifelong interest in bagpipes. Mrs. Jackman recalls going on dates in the basement of Seaver Hall where he practiced piping and she studied. He returned to Pomona College to entertain by piping at the 35th and 40th class reunions. Mr. Jackman received his medical degree at the University of Rochester in 1967.

CHRISTIANSEN aka RALPH WALTER CHRISTIANSEN Case No. KP013782 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of RALPH W. CHRISTIANSEN aka RALPH WALTER CHRISTIANSEN A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by Bradley A. Christiansen in the Superior Court of California, County of LOS ANGELES. THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that Bradley A. Christiansen be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. THE PETITION requests the decedents will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A HEARING on the petition will be held on Sept. 16, 2010 at 8:30 AM in Dept. No. A located at 400 Civic Center Plaza, Pomona, CA 91766. IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the deceased, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within four months from the date of first issuance of letters as provided in Probate Code section 9100. The time for filing claims will not expire before four months from the hearing date noticed above. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.
