EqualityDear Editor:

Continuing to give the uber-rich moretax breaks is confusing to me. We have achoice as a societywe can cut education,fire and police departments, roads,bridges, libraries, the arts, urban renewalprograms, veterans benefits, the military,and social programs to save money. Theother choice is to stop the tax breaks forthe wealthiest (which would mean theywould still be paying less in taxes than theother 99%). Either decision will save the

same amount of money and cut the deficitthe same amount.Which sounds more logical and would

help more people?There are dozens and dozens of quota-

tions in the Bible about aiding the poor.This obviously points to the idea that, ifwe claim to be Christian, we should doeverything possible to help the less fortu-nate, regardless of their situation.

My questions are: How can people pro-fess to be doing what God wants whenthey lobby and fight againstall social pro-grams? If these Christians believe inequality, why are they fighting to makesure that the richest people are treated farmore preferentially than others? And, fi-nally, why aren't we all protesting the warsbeing waged by conservatives on educa-tion, gay rights, and women's rights?

I would like to believe that America isa Democracy; it sure seems like werebeing pushed away from the ideals of theideology. If we want to be a true democ-racy as we say we are, we all have workto do.

The Disclose ActDear Editor:

The League of Women Voters urges allvoters to contact their US Senators to re-quest they cosponsor S. 2219, the DiscloseAct of 2012, which would restore trans-parency to US elections by requiring com-plete disclosure of spending on big-moneyadvertising in candidate elections.

In its ruling in Citizens United v. FederalElection Commission, the Supreme Courtopened the floodgates for big-money spe-cial interests in our elections. Corporations

and unions can now make unlimited secretexpenditures seeking to elect or defeat can-didates. In addition, they can make unlim-ited secret contributions to other entitiesthat seek to elect or defeat candidates. Thisis unacceptable in a democracy.

We must preserve the integrity of ourelectoral process by increasing trans-parency and letting the sunlight shine in.Disclosure of corporate, union, and indi-vidual spending in elections is vital to al-lowing voters to make informed decisions.S. 2219 accomplishes that fundamentalpurpose.

The Disclose Act of 2012 is carefullycrafted to require disclosure by outsidegroups of large campaign contributions andexpendituresthose over $10,000andincludes a valuable stand-by-your adprovision for ads run by such groups. It re-quires outside groups to certify that theirspending is not coordinated with candi-dates and, very importantly, covers trans-fers of money among groups so that theactual sources of funds being spent to in-fluence federal elections will be known.

S. 2219 builds on requirements alreadyapproved by the Supreme Court. In fact,

the court pointed in the direction of en-hanced disclosure when it said that disclo-sure is important to providing theelectorate with information. It also sup-ported disclaimer requirements so that thepeople will be able to evaluate the argu-ments to which they are being subjected.We couldnt agree more.

S. 2219 focuses only on disclosure anddoes not contain elements from previous

legislation such as barring campaignspending by government contractors.Voters deserve to know the sources of

funding for election advertising. TheLeague of Women Voters strongly urgesour US Senators to cosponsor and supportquick action by the senate to enact the Dis-close Act of 2012.

Pomona College president David

Oxtoby will travel to Cambridge,

Massachusetts this fall to be in-

ducted 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 af-fairs. Other 2012 honorees are Hillary Rodham Clin-ton, Clint Eastwood, Melinda Gates, Mel Brooks,Neil Simon and Paul McCartney.

Dr. Oxtobywho found out about his admissionto the Academy the old fashioned way, via letteris no stranger to accolades. He has received fellow-

ships from organizations including the Guggenheim,von Humboldt, Dreyfus, Sloan, Danforth and Na-tional Science foundations.

Nonetheless, he feels honored to join the storiedAcademy, which was founded in 1781 with inaugural

members like Benjamin Franklin and George Wash-ington.It definitely stands out, Dr. Oxtoby humbly said

of his Academy membership. Coming from the ac-ademic world, if youre not going to get a Nobelprize, this is one of the larger prizes.

Dr. Oxtoby has been asked to write a letter accept-ing his membership, which will be kept in the files ofthe Academy of Arts and Sciences. He marvels thatthose files contain similar letters by George Washing-

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, theuniversitys 7th president, was inducted into the so-ciety. This year, there are several Academy honorees

with ties to Pomona College. They include SallyElgin, a Pomona College alumna and genome re-searcher; Pomona alumnus, psychologist and author(The Childs Theory of Mind) Henry Wellman; andformer Pomona College faculty member Steven Kob-lik, who is president of the Huntington Library, ArtCollections and Botanical Gardens.

Dr. Oxtoby is the author of numerous scientific ar-ticles on subjects such as light scattering, chemicalreaction dynamics and phase transition and 2 popularfirst-year chemistry textbooks. Though he teaches aclass each year in environmental chemistry, specifi-cally climate change, his love of science often takesa backseat to college administration.

Im very optimistic by nature. Even now, with allof our challenges, America has the best system ofhigher education in the world. We have a huge op-

portunity 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 3-month sabbatical. Dr. Oxtoby will be conductingchemistry research, which will be briefly interruptedin October when he flies to the other Cambridge forthe Academy of Arts and Sciences ceremony. Whilehes gone, Cecilia Conrad, dean of Pomona College,will serve as acting president.

When Dr. Oxtoby became the 9th president ofPomona College in 2003, it was written into his con-tract he could take a sabbatical after his 6th year. Nineyears into the job, he is excited about the opportunityto get re-immersed in the realm of science. He andhis wife are also looking forward to a vacation thissummer, when they will spend several weeks hiking

and bicycling in the Canadian Rockies and on PrinceEdward Island.Despite his enthusiasm for scientific and personal

rejuvenation, Dr. Oxtoby emphasizes that his primaryfocus is Pomona College.

Im really passionate about the values of liberaleducation, he said. It prepares students to think crit-ically, to work in groups, and to ask big questions.Im committed to that over a number of years.

Oxtoby joins prestigious group honored for leadership

COURIER photo/Steven FelschundneffDavid Oxtoby, president of Pomona College, has been elected to the American Academy of Arts andSciences. One of the oldest institutions in America, the Academy elected 220 men and women for 2012including Hilary Rodham Clinton, Melinda Gates and Sir Paul McCartney. He will be inducted into thesociety this October at a formal ceremony in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Aspecial meeting of the CUSDschool board to discuss the newsuperintendent will be held to-

morrow, Thursday, April 26, at 6:30 p.m.A public comment period is available.

Item V. Closed Session of the agenda releasedTuesday morning states that the board will discuss:

Public Employee Appointment, Public Em-ployee Employment,California GovernmentCode 54954.4(e) pursuant to California Gov-ernment Code 54957 Position: Superintend-ent.The board will broadly discuss the appointment

of the new superintendent, according to Liz Jeffer-son, CUSD administrative assistant to the superin-tendent.

[The board] will review applications and lookinto setting interviews. We did not want to restrict

discussion by adding a specific descriptor in theagenda, she said. Without the descriptor, theboard can have a good scope of discussion.

The agenda also notes that no formal action willbe taken at this meeting.

The board approved the superintendent recruit-ment prospectus created by consulting search firmDave Long & Associates at the March 1 boardmeeting, after the firm collected public input at 2forums, and through interviews and questionnaires.

The closing date for the superintendent applica-tion period was April 16, with the new superintend-ent starting date planned for July 1.

Interim Superintendent Gloria Johnstons lastday with CUSD is scheduled for June 30.

The special meeting will take place at the Kirk-endall Education Center Board Room, 170 W. SanJose Ave. The next regular meeting of the schoolboard is set for Thursday, May 3.

Foothill Country DaySchool students areembracing character-

building through the schools

interfaith chapel program,which is teaching students tofocus on global awarenessrather than the particulars ofany one religion.

At the private K-8 school, a varietyof interfaith topics and presentationsare helping students and teachers aliketo cultivate open-mindedness and awell-rounded spiritual education.

Chapel time is about everydaycommunity gathering. Its a fantastictime to celebrate each other, and wework hard to strike a good balance,said Head of School Mike Silva. We

are educating future leaders and citi-zens who need to understand differentfaiths and spiritual journeys.

Though the chapel program hasevolved since the school was first es-tablished, it continues to promote theK-8s mission to build character inour childrento stress honesty, cour-tesy, responsibility and a concern forothers, according to Director of Ad-missions Denise Zondervan.

It brings together a commonthread in our students, Ms. Zonder-van said. It teaches values. Its abouteducation, global awareness and re-spect.

In its earliest days, chapel atFoothill Country Day was centered onthe Old Testament of the ChristianBible, according to Mr. Silva.

The foundation has always beenthere. I think there is a reason our

founder only read from the Old Testa-ment, he said. The Old Testamentlends itself to the general idea for the

understanding of love and justice.Over the last several years, chapelhas evolved to more fully embracethese themes. Chapel is held daily,with each week focusing on a newtheme. Thursdays are special, high-lighting acts of kindness performed bystudents.

Last week it was about compas-sion. This week is on pollution, saideighth grader Bailey Scherer. Itscool to learn about different subjects.

Students in fourth through eighthgrades take turns making a presenta-tion. They are given the opportunityto run the chapel in their own way,some presenting Native American rit-

uals or Buddhist prayers.We know we service a diverse stu-

dent body, Mr. Silva said. We wantto connect with all the different spiri-tual journeys our students represent.

Fourth grader Andrea Phung saidshe likes the fact that she gets to de-velop her public speaking skills whilealso expanding her knowledge.

You can learn more things abouthow to do stuff and be a better per-son, said Andrea, who gave a presen-tation to her peers on ecology onMonday.

Bailey, who helps set up the projec-tor and technical aspects of the daily

assemblies, enjoys the fact that chapelhelps bridge any divides between thedifferent grades at Foothill Day.Fourth through eighth graders joineach other in chapel each day. K-2

meets in its own elementary-level pro-gramming immediately after.

Its a great way to have the wholeschool come together, she said. Itsnice to be able to get to know otherstudents and listen to the presenta-tions.

Faculty also hopes it will provide akey foundation in their students livesafter graduation.

A well-educated citizen is some-body who has multiple views andmultiple perspectives, Mr. Silva said.We hope it will plant the seeds sothat later in life, when they [our stu-

dents] are traveling throughout theworld, it provides them with practicalunderstandings of others.

EDUCATION

Board honorssoccer champs

The regular meeting of the Boardof Education Thursday, April 19took on a celebratory aura as

board members heard of achievements invarious areas of the Claremont UnifiedSchool District.

First up in the area of recognition was a reportfrom the inaugural Regional Student Art Exhibitionheld in early March in the Millard Sheets Gallery atthe Los Angeles County Fairgrounds.

Sponsored by the Career and Technical EducationCenter of the Fairplex, the exhibition ArtReach:The Art of Poetry attracted participants from 67high schools in 17 districts in the area.

Claremont had the largest presence with 47 entries

and brought home a number of awards, includingfirst-place works by Claremont High School studentsCindy Liu and Isabella Mendoza. Isabellas entrywas purchased after the showby the American Museum ofCeramic Arts. CHS studentBrian Donahue received athird place award and honor-able mentions went to fellow CHS students BeccaHafner, Christine Zheng and Sarena Delgado. Invi-tational work from CHS Room 608 and DanburySchool students was also involved in the exhibition.

Art consultant Lugene Whitley reflected on thesuccess of the program, citing the advice of AlbertEinstein, who reportedly said, Logic will take youfrom A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.Danbury teacher Kenneth Johnson introduced the

presentation, urging continued support from the dis-trict for the program.

Considerable pride and some touches of humoraccompanied the boards recognition of ClaremontHighs CIF (California Interscholastic Federation)championship girls soccer team and the slew ofawards the group achieved during the 2011-2012season. The team not only won the Southern SectionCIF Championship, sophomore Madison Stark wasnamed Player of the Year, and Madison, along withteammates senior Rebekah Evans and junior KarenParga, were selected to the 2011-2012 Division 3Girls Soccer All CIF Southern Section Team.

And adding honors to honors, veteran Coach TimTracey, involved in soccer at CHS for more than 10years, was named CIF Coach of the Year in Division

3. Coach Tracey described the year as fantastic andnoted that many team members also did very wellacademically. He especially thanked AssistantCoaches Nicole Giles and Tim Tipping, along withteam parents, families and the community as awhole. Board President Jeff Stark noted good na-turedly that he and his family have been congratu-lated many times on the achievements of Madison,with the duplication of their surnames. Although notdirectly related, Mr. Stark kiddingly told Madison,I would like to welcome you to the family!

The board heard reports on activities from Moun-tain View Elementary School leaders Oksana Sos-novsky and Jeremiah Alarcon, along with studentboard members Jake Wu from CHS and TeVinWoods from San Antonio High School.

goal reports, and CUSD Occupational TherapyClinic plans. See Saturdays edition of theCOURIER for a report.

BOARD

REPORT

Celebrate. Remember. Fightback. This weekend, Clare-monters and millions across

the world will do just that at the an-nual Relay for Life, a philanthropic

walkathon benefitting the fight againstcancer. The event kicks off this Satur-day, April 28, at 9 a.m. and concludesat 9 a.m. Sunday, April 29.

Sponsored by the American Cancer Society,Relay for Life began in 1985 as a way to raisecancer awareness in the community and providenecessary funds for continued cancer research.Today, that fight continues. Survivors, friends,family and supporters alike will gather at theClaremont High School football field in a 24-hour march for the cause, symbolizing the battlethat cancer patients and their families fight everyday.

It is a very powerful event, said Nusha

Shishegar, co-chair for the Claremont/La Verneevent. Its a time to make a difference in some-ones life as a community instead of through in-dividual efforts.

Beyond raising money for cancer research,Relay for Life is about providing a source ofcomfort and support for those who continue to beaffected by the 24-hour battle with cancer, ac-cording to Ms. Shishegar. It brings a sense ofconnection and happiness to people who reallyneed it, she said.

While the field will be filled with at least onewalker at all times, participants are also invitedto take part in special scheduled laps. The eventkicks off with a survivors lap, recognizing thosewho have fought and won the battle against can-cer. Their caregivers are invited to walk in soli-

darity with them. A special LuminariaCeremony later that evening will take place as aremembrance to those loved ones lost or whocontinue in their struggle. Throughout the day,participants are invited to purchase luminaria

bags, which can then be decorated in honor oftheir loved ones. These bags will be filled withsand and a lit candle, then placed around the fieldduring the evening remembrance ceremony.

The walkathon will conclude Sunday morningwith a Fight Back Ceremony, pledging a contin-ued commitment to taking action against cancer.

This year, Claremont Relay For Life will beusing technology to help spread the word aboutthe walk. Festivities include a Twitter lap, duringwhich Claremont Relay for Life walkers will beinvited to simultaneously post tweets sharingtheir experiences with other participants at differ-ent Relay For Life events across the nation. Par-ticipants will also get the chance to visit thepurple couch, located near the field, and recorda personalized message on a video camera set torecord throughout the 24-hour event.

The idea is to create a moving movie pictureabout what the relay is all about, Ms. Shishegarsaid. We hope that not only participants, but vis-itors who stop by will take the time to talk aboutwhat their experience at the relay has meant to

them.Food trucks, another new addition this year,will be available for both participants and by-standers, with a 20 percent donation of all pro-ceeds to the American Cancer Society. Thetrucks will be available at lunchtime from noonto 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 onwalking will come out and support us by pur-chasing food, Ms. Shishegar said.

Participants can register online atrelayforlife.org/claremontca or purchase an all-access pass to the event for $10 at the gate onSaturday. To make a donation or for more infor-mation, visit relayforlife.org/claremontca.

Cancer never stops, and it is something we

have to actively battle, Ms. Shishegar said, Butwe are pushing back, standing up and fighting.

There is so much to report on sus-tainability I almost forgot to writethis article. Claremont held its

fourth Earth Day event on April 21. The

citys Sustainability Plan is to be revisedthis year and Claremonts SustainabilityCommittee is getting ready for that.

Water rates are skyrocketing; Claremont Outrageformed in protest. The city council voted unani-mously to consider taking over our water system andfunded a study to be finished soon, with decisionlikely in the next few months. The Claremont Col-leges funded a plan for water reclamation to irrigatethe campuses using a plant that would reduce theamount of water Claremont needs to import by about10 percent. Uncommon Good is constructing aunique superadobe building and promoting urbanagriculture. The Colleges are implementing and up-dating sustainability plans. And theres more.

In October 2008, Claremont adopted a Sustainable

City Plan that sets goals for the ability of the city andresidents of Claremont to meet the needs of the pres-ent economy, society and the environment while pre-serving the ability of future generations to meet theirneeds.

A task force adopted over 80 goals in 7 areas: Re-source Conservation, Environment and PublicHealth, Transportation, Sustainable Built Environ-

ment, Open Space and Land Use, Housing & Eco-nomic Sustainability, and Outreach, Education andImplementation. Targets include decreasing electricalenergy consumption 20 percent below 2003 levels by2015, and water consumption 20 percent by this yearand 40 percent by 2017; diverting 70 percent of solidwaste from landfills by 2015. There has been remark-able progress in some areas, less in others.

The Colleges and others have their own individualplans and targets. This time it might make good senseto work together on a community-wide plan. Sustain-able Claremont hopes to facilitate such a project.

Sustainable Claremont was incorporated as a non-profit organization 3 years ago this month to engagepeople in education and action toward a more sus-tainable communityenvironmentally, economically

and sociallyin Claremont and beyond.During these 3 years much has happened. For ex-ample, the Schools Action Group drafted a resolutionthat was adopted by the board. It called for substantialeducational programs on sustainability. The SchoolsAction Group has also been an effective advocate forvegetable gardens at Claremont schools, both to im-prove school lunches and for the educational value.

The Claremont Home Energy Retrofit Project(CHERP) created a highly successful program of en-ergy conservation in homes as part of a nationwideprogram.

The Water Action Group initiated the water recla-mation effort at the Colleges. The Social Action

Group published a walking guide to Claremont thatis widely used. The COURIER has published theseDemystifying Sustainability articles since January2010, and Pomona College has co-sponsored Sustain-ability Dialogs since November 2009.

If you are interested in what we are doing, wewould welcome your participation. This year Sustain-able Claremont will be the community organizationhonored at Claremonts Independence Day celebra-tion.

The next Sustainability Dialog will be on May 7 at7 p.m., in the Hahn Building, 420 N Harvard Ave.Richard Haskell, professor of physics at HarveyMudd College, will discuss Freedom From ImportedWater as he leads a brief virtual tour of the waterreclamation system proposed for the Claremont Col-

leges and a sneak peek into the water future of thecommunity of Claremont.

[Editors note: Along with many Claremont residents,the COURIER spent Saturday enjoying the Earth Day

festivities. Look for photos and a report on the daysevents in this Saturdays special edition, The Rites ofSpring. KD]

Mr. Al Leigas Viewpoint(COURIER, March 17) offersmore misinformation on

global warming by promoting the myth

of the 1970s cooling climate scare. He iscorrect, however, when he relates howscience works: Observation, measure-ment, data collection, analysis, inde-pendent verification, testing by others, towhich I will add publication in peer-re-viewed journals.

We scientists are trained to question and test othersideas. We do not always agree with new ideas. In fact,its usually as difficult to get a bunch of scientists toagree on anything as it is to herd a bunch of cats.Even so, there is now overwhelming consensus thatglobal warming is real.

Mr. Leigas first myth: The man-made global

warming model predicts a straight line increase intemperature associated with an increase in CO2.Thats not true at allclimate is affected by too manyvariables to make a linear prediction. He goes on tostate, In fact over the last 10 years measurementsshow a drop in temperature. The model does not pre-dict reality. That also is not true.

To correct these 2 myths we need to look at the

global temperature record from 1850 to 2010. Aftera rapid rise in the early 20th century, average temper-atures did cool by about 0.2oC from 1940 until 1970,after which they began to climb rapidly again to thepresent, with 2003 and 2010 tied for the thirdwarmest years on record. In fact, 2003, 2005 and2010 differ only by the third decimal place; in statis-tical terms, less than 2 standard errors (about 0.1oC)that is at least 10 times larger than the differences be-tween these 3 years.

From 2005 to 2010 the smoothed record becomesa plateau, but with this years non-winter, 2012 willlikely show a distinct temperature spike. Thus, onecan carefully cherry pick data from this record toprove either warming or cooling. What is more im-portant, however, is to observe the long-term trendits clearly warming, even without removing the

static from the record by statistical smoothing.But how can that mid-20th century cooling re-

ported in the 1974 issue ofTime be explained? Itseasy and straightforward: The cooling resulted froma high concentration of sulfate aerosols in the atmos-phere, emitted by industry and volcanic eruptions,which shielded Earth from some incoming solar ra-diation. Also, the major eruption of Mount Agung in

1963 produced enough aerosols to lower the temper-ature by about 0.50oC, and solar activity sloweddown after an increase at the beginning of the century.The clean air acts of the 1970s, enacted in NorthAmerica and Europe, reduced sulfide emissions and

the cooling effect was soon outweighed by the warm-ing effect of the steadily increasing amounts of green-house gas emissions.

In current discussions of climate change it is com-mon to hear about this global cooling scare of the1970s. The discussion is most often attributed to newsmedia coverage, not to the scientific literature. Forexample, this is where Sen. James Inofe (R-OK)turned for much of his evidence for his senate floorspeech in 2003 in which he stated that global warm-ing is the greatest hoax ever perpetuated on the Amer-ican people.

Chief among his evidence was the 1975 Newsweekstory, The Cooling World. How could this mythever get started? One of the sources of this idea mayhave been a 1971 paper in Science by StephenSchneider and S.I. Rasool, climate researchers atNASAs Goddard Space Flight Center. They sug-gested that the cooling effect of aerosols and dirty aircould outweigh the warming effect of CO2, thus po-tentially leading Earth into an ice age if aerosol pol-lution should quadruple.

Many scientists viewed the idea as possible as theplanet at that time was cooling. However, criticsquickly pointed out flaws in Schneider and Rasoolswork, including several they recognized themselves.Revising their analysis showed that cooling could re-sult, but their original paper overestimated coolingand underestimated the greenhouse warming of CO2,a point not acknowledged by the media. The basis forthe cooling myth lies in selective misreading of sci-entific articles by some members of the media at thetime and by some observers of today.

In 2008, Tom Peterson of the National ClimateData Center surveyed dozens of peer-reviewed cli-mate articles from 1965 to 1979 and found that 44predicted warming, 20 were neutral and only 7 sup-ported global cooling. Petersons literature searchshows there was no scientific consensus in the 1970sthat the Earth was headed into an ice age. Quite thecontrary, his literature search suggests that even then,greenhouse warming dominated scientiststhinkingabout the most important forces shaping Earths cli-mate on a human time scale.

8/20

Despite strong competi-tion that turned neck-and-neck in the second

set, the Claremont HighSchool boys varsity volleyballteam won all 3 games25-18,25-22, 25-18against ArcadiaHigh School on Friday, April20.

Senior Stephen Zetterburg lead with16 kills, followed by seniors HunterMcKintyre (8 kills) and Chris Collins(7 kills).

We had a few more weapons thanthey did and were able to win the day,said coach Bernie Wendling. Its al-ways good to beat Arcadia. TheApaches have historically been one of

the Wolfpacks fiercest rivals.The win bolstered Claremonts

record, taking the team to 8-1 overall asthey prepared to play Burbank andCrescenta Valley this week. They willwrap league play with a match againstBurroughs on Tuesday, May 1.

Though CHS, second place inLeague standings, won matches againstboth Burbank and Burroughs earlier inthe season, this is no time for the teamto rest on its laurels, according toCoach Wendling.

The team was lucky to win the Arca-dia match-up, he said.

We missed 9 serves in game num-

ber-one and still won. We didnt servereally well.The Wolfpack has been working on

making their serves more aggressive,he noted. Its part of the mensgameyou have to serve tough.

With aggressiveness comes more er-rors, he said, something the team needsto minimize before they face Bur-roughs, a team that has gotten reallygood, really fast over the last 3 years.Burroughs is first place in SierraLeague standings.

Coach Wendling believes with focus,the team can pull off the kind of per-formances that will lead to a champi-

onship. It would be a return to glory forCHS, which won the league champi-onship for 5 years in a row before los-ing last years playoff bid.

Were digging harder hits, our de-

fense is getting better. Were right atthat place, he said. Its time to get asgood as we can and be ready to bringour A-game.

Baseball games continue throughrain delays

The Don Lugo Easter Tournament,held April 11 and 12 at Claremont HighSchool, was a wash for the CHS boysvarsity baseball team. Literally.

After an early-morning downpour onWednesday, the Wolfpack worked hard

to clean up the baseball field to play.They were no sooner done when an-other storm hit, raining out the daystournament. A CHS match-up againstNipomo High School was cancelled,

while a game against University HighSchool was postponed until Saturday,April 21.

The team was back at work onThursday, April 12, cleaning off thewaterlogged field for tournament play.The game between the Wolfpack andMaranatha ended after 7 innings in a 2-2 tie, before being cut short by more

rain.With a postponed match against the

Don Lugo Con-quistadors set forMonday, April 30,

the Don Lugo Tournament is theproverbial gift that keeps on giving.

In league play, CHS lost to ChinoHills (3-2) in a tight-scoring game onWednesday, April 18.

We matched each other with 4 hitsapieceit was a pitching battle, headboys varsity baseball coach Geoff Ran-ney said. We just didnt get the execu-tion when we needed it.

Despite the Chino Hills loss, theteam is ready to take on the Chargers,Coach Ranney said.

Were in a really tough leagueevery team is playoff caliber. And ourprogram is equal to the task.

Boys varsity tennis team continuesto excel

Its been a winning season for theCHS boys varsity tennis team, which iscurrently 8-1 in league play.

First-year head boys varsity tenniscoach Louise Miclat is impressed withthe talent of this years team. Herbiggest challenge is finding the idealpairings for doubles, both for continuedseason play and for the coming year.

Im not fully comfortable; I dontknow their game inside out. Ive beenexperimenting with whos compatiblewith who, Coach Miclat explained.

Coach Miclat performed one of herexperiments during last Fridays con-test against Charter Oak High Schoolwhen she had boys who usually com-pete on doubles teams play singlesgames and vice versa.

I wanted my players to play a dif-ferent game rather than the one theydbeen playing, she explained. Though

the team was out of their comfort zone, they stillwrapped up the match 18-1.

The fortunes of the Wolfpack are looking bright asthey prepare for their final matches against Ayala andSouth Hills this week.

Coach Miclats lofty goal is for the team to domi-nate the Sierra League and for one of her players tobe selected as League MVP. She also hopes a few ofher strongest players, such as currently undefeatedjunior Alan Leahy, sophomore Brandon Yeoh (one

loss) and senior Carter Hafif will go on to distinguishthemselves in CIF play.Sarah Torribio

Ten years ago, Good Shepherd Lutheran Churchcelebrated the 40th anniversary of its founding.While the theme was 40 Years in Grace, the

discourse was about growth and development. Thegrowth, development and faith has continued sincethen, and since the churchs founding in 1962. This

weekend, Good Shepherd Lutheran Church will cel-ebrate its 50th year.On April 8, 1962, Good Shepherd Lutheran Church

was formally organized with 61 charter members and59 child members. The 3.5-acre property at 1700 N.Towne Ave. on which the church stands today was ac-quired by the Lutheran Synod in 1958, and ground wasfirst broken to build the church sanctuary on January30, 1966 under the supervision of Rev. Peter Knoles.

Three of the original charter members are still inClaremontAlice Trask, Ginny Blackwell and AnnaPetrovichand have been part of Good ShepherdLutheran Churchs community for half a century, dur-ing which time the church has become an integral partof Claremonts community.

If you have been raised in a church, and have raisedyour children in a church as I have, then it becomes

very meaningful to celebrate that your church is stillalivethat it is still meaningful. It has always been ahome where we can worship, said Denise Trask Free,one of the churchs original child members.

Longtime member Anne Brower has attendedGood Shepherd for 38 years.

It has always been a very friendly church; we havealways encouraged new people to come. For me, per-sonally, it has been an anchor, she said. Ms. Browerhas served in Good Shepherds altar guild.

Good Shepherd has offered a home for families hail-ing from much farther than neighboring communities.

The congregation took in a Vietnamese family in1975 during the Vietnam War, Shirley Rude recalls.We sponsored a family in 1975 and in 1980. I re-member Pastor Jacobson said, We need to do this.There was no debate about it. He was a missionaryfrom Guatemala so he understood very well the situ-ations of refugees and stood up for them. They arestill a part of our community. It was a very rewarding,growing experience for the congregation.

The women have witnessed many developmentsin Good Shepherd Lutheran Church. They have seenchanges in the churchs practices: Sunday service hasdiverged into 2 different services, and a contemporaryservice, which has come to include a live praise band,was introduced between the late 1980s and early1990s. The church still offers a traditional Lutheranservice in addition to the contemporary service. The

Lutheran Church has come to ordain women and rec-ognize same-sex relationships and same-sex ordina-tion. Good Shepherds youth program has grownimmensely over the years, and now attracts over 60high school kids to the church, many from ClaremontHigh School.

We consider ourselves a do-it-yourself church.We have been very blessed that many of our membershave been contractors, and we could just decide tobuild a new shed or expand the buildings, said Mrs.Trask Free when describing the process of changeand development Good Shepherd has undergone.

She highlighted the importance of the developmentof the churchs music program: Lutherans sing, andeat, and drink coffee together, and we build music asa form of worship into everything we do!

On Saturday, April 28, Good Shepherd LutheranChurch will host A Walk Through History from 2to 5 p.m. in the Churchs fellowship hall. Communitymembers are invited to explore the churchs historyand trace its fellowship and construction, and to enjoyrefreshments.

On Sunday morning, April 29, there will be a grandservice, a combination of Good Shepherds contem-porary service which includes a live praise band anda traditional Lutheran service. Two of the churchsformer ministers will also be returning. Communitymembers are welcome to the service, which beginsat 9:30 a.m, and will be lead by Good Shepherds cur-

rent pastor, Kenneth Davis.In the words of Mrs. Trask Free, it will be a cele-

bration of our fellowship, our history, and all of theblessings that we feel as a family.

COURIER photo/Peter WeinbergerIt was a busy day in Claremont Saturday as the city not only celebrated Earth Day, but the arts of Japan at Pilgrim Place. The high-light was Makoto Taiko, the art of the Japanese drum. The group played to an audience of over 100, with a simple focused goal ofdrumming to serve as a bridge for global understanding beyond language and words. The bigger drums are carved out of one

piece of wood, and can weigh over 50 pounds and cost over $14,000. Being a drummer not only takes years of practice, but physicalconditioning to continue the beat throughout an entire concert.
