Pomona museum locationDear Editor:

I am adding my voice to those whowould like to see the new Pomona Col-lege Museum of Art sited near the north-east corner of College Avenue and FirstStreet.

The residential-style buildings on thewest side of College Avenue form a tran-sition between the institution and the Vil-lage, which will be lost if RenwickHouse and the cottages are no longerthere. The cottages have no great meritas architecture, but they do have culturalvalue as part of the city’s past.

I hope Pomona College will see thevalue of continuing to blend into the restof the city along this border rather thancreating an abrupt change. Altering thelocation of the proposed museum is notlikely to affect the museum’s success,but it would help to preserve the charac-ter of the city and it would make manyClaremont citizens grateful.

Gas solutionsDear Editor:

Gasoline is going through the roof. It’shard on the pocketbook for many of uswho drive large, fuel-inefficient autos.Perhaps it is time to start thinking aboutsome kind of solution.

Would Claremont consider buying anoil company of its own and staff it withless well paid CEOs? Although oil com-panies do not qualify for eminent do-main, it could be worth a try.

Citizens with driver’s licenses coulddrive to the city yards and fill up for apittance. Socialism? Perhaps, but what to

do when things go down hill in a handbasket. John Schwartz

Water rip-offDear Editor:

The city of Claremont has alreadyspent $2.2 million on issues related tothe acquisition of the water system and,last week, another $1 million was appro-priated. Yet, we still don’t know: (1)

whether the city will ever acquire thewater system, (2) how much it will ulti-mately cost the city to acquire it, (3) whowill operate the water system after it isacquired, or (4) how the acquisition willimpact our water bills.

In effect, this has cost each water cus-tomer in Claremont about $275 (andcounting) with absolutely nothing to showfor it, not even a plausible vision of whatwe can expect to gain (or lose) from thisexpensive endeavor. Who really is rippingus off, Golden State Water or the city?

ClaremontTskDear Editor:

While I have been enjoying my read-ing of the July 17 issue of theCOURIER, and particularly liked theoverviews of Memorial Park whichdemonstrate that we are indeed a City of Trees, I was nonetheless disappointedand distracted by yet another typo. Thisone was on page 8, in the very interest-ing article about the recent demise of Dr.Gerald Juergens.

In the third paragraph of the article, itis related that “As a teenager, he soldHarold Express newspapers on the cor-ner of...” Coming from a long line of newspaper people, my favorite uncle,Bill Pigue, would have been deeply sad-dened to note the misspelling of the

name of the old Herald Express of whichhe was the city editor for many years.As such misspellings and other gram-

matical errors seem to be increasinglycommon in the COURIER (though not

as bad as the Bulletin!), it would helpmaintain the esteem of the COURIER iadditional proofreading were instituted.

Hoping that my own obituary is grammatically (and factually) correct as wellas not soon...

Claremont COURIER/Friday, July 24, 2015CITY NEWS

There was somethingextra special aboutClaremont this week.

The long-awaited arrival of Special Olympics delegations

from Bolivia, Latvia, Republicof Georgia and Curaçao onTuesday kicked-off a series of events that brought a bit of added culture to the city whileuniting the community.

Law enforcement personnel, city staff,residents and athletes from around theglobe stood side-by-side beneath the ma-

jestic trees at Memorial Park on Wednes-day to witness the final leg of the LawEnforcement Torch Run as it made itsway through the heart of town.

Sacramento resident Jonathan Sparksand New Jersey resident Frank Aresta

carried the Flame of Hope down IndianHill Boulevard while the newly-arrivedathletes got into their groove by kickingaround a soccer ball, visiting with one an-other and enjoying the swings at the parkbefore the torch’s arrival.

The Final Leg Torch Run began July13 at the State Capitol Building in Sacra-mento. It made its way through more than120 cities across the state before arrivingin the City of Trees to celebrate the be-ginning of the Special Olympics WorldGames Los Angeles 2015 and to recog-nize Claremont as an official host town.

The Flame of Hope was lit by the sun’srays at the Sacred Site of Pnyx, oppositethe Acropolis in Athens, Greece, during

a formal ceremony on May 14 and willcomplete its 73-day trans-Atlantic jour-ney on July 25. The final leg team willcarry the flame into the opening cere-mony of the 2015 World Games and ig-nite the cauldron at the Los AngelesMemorial Coliseum, where the 1932 and1984 Olympics were held.

With a resounding round of applause,the torch arrived at its destination just be-fore 2 p.m. and made its way through alineup of Special Olympic supporters andathletes before coming to a stop in frontof the historic Garner House.

With a crowd of nearly 300 gathered,including council members OpanyiNasiali and Joe Lyons, Claremont Police

Chief Paul Cooper opened the ceremonywith a few words about the 2015 WorldGames before passing the torch, so tospeak, off to Mr. Lyons.

“It is my honor and privilege to recog-nize our athletic delegations from Latvia,Curaçao, the Republic of Georgia andBolivia, whose determination to competeand do their very best is an inspiration toeveryone who witnesses their joy in lifeand living,” Mr. Lyons said. “Welcome toClaremont and thank you for being here.”

On January 27, the city council ap-proved Claremont’s participation as aSpecial Olympics World Games hosttown. Nearly 100 athletes, trainers andsupport staff from four countries arrived

in Claremont on Tuesday after a receptionat Loyola Marymount University in Los

Angeles. City staff was on-hand to greetthe delegations upon their arrival and as-sisted each country’s athletes as they set-tled into their home away from home.

“We’re very pleased that this event hasallowed our community to come togetherto really show what Claremont is aboutand showcase our various agencies work-ing together,” City Manager Tony Ramossaid. “From our businesses, to the Col-leges, to the city, to our schools, we cametogether as one Claremont. The athletesare so excited to be here, and to see thesmiles on their faces is very rewarding.”

Working in collaboration withPomona, Claremont McKenna and

Scripps colleges, the city provided thedelegations with food, housing and en-

tertainment during their stay in Clare-mont. The athletes trained at various ven-ues throughout the city in preparation fortheir events.

Following the torch ceremony, the del-egates were treated to a picnic at PomonaFairplex also attended by Mayor Calay-cay and Mayor Pro-Tem Sam Pedroza.The fun continued Thursday at MemorialPark with a concert featuring The Ravel-ers and a Kiwanis BBQ.

“Music is a universal language andsomething everyone can enjoy,” Clare-mont Public Information Officer BevinHandel explained. “The Ravelers werekind enough to donate their time for this

special event.”The Special Olympic Host Town fes-

tivities concluded on Friday morninwith a send-off rally held at Pomona Colege. Claremonters cheered on the delgates before they made their way back Los Angeles for the big event.

was located parked next to a yard withan open side gate. As the police

watched the yard, a Chevy Camaro

with a Texas license plate was spotteddriving around the area. Believing thecar could be involved in criminal activ-ity, officers made contact with thedriver, Davaris Adams, who identifiedhimself with a state of Texas inmatecard. A record check revealed Mr.Adams had three outstanding war-rants—two from Texas and one fromMissouri—that both states were willingto extradite. The 33-year-old FortWorth resident was arrested on the war-rants and later transported to downtownLos Angeles.

Saturday, July 18An Azusa resident was arrested for

Mr. Dauz, 33, wasarrested for battery on a non-cohabitat-ing spouse and was transported to CPD

jail where he was booked and held on a

$20,000 bond. The victim was givendomestic violence information and of-fered an emergency protective order,which she declined.

Sunday, July 19If anyone’s in need of the cleansing

stone Selenite, it’s the thieves whobroke into Kindred Spirits. Claremontpolice responded to the spiritual shop,located at 813 W. Foothill Blvd., aftersomeone broke the front window andgained entry to the store overnight.Once inside, the burglars removed dec-orative sculptures, a laptop computer,copper bracelets and silver jewelryworth a total estimate of $10,700.

POLICE BLOTTER

Claremont police investigate the scene of a vehicle collision Sunday evening o

Foothill Boulevard in Claremont. Casey Steiman of Upland was arrested for DUI folowing the crash.

Nearly two years from its inception,a draft of the master plan for theClaremont Hills Wilderness Park

is available for public review. Released onthe city’s website last Thursday, it is in-tended to be a “living document,” servingthe community for the next 20 years.

The plan summarizes the park’s existing conditionsand usage, and aims to balance preservation withrecreational use of the park in the years to come.

In late 2013, the city of Claremont selected MIG asthe project consultant to bring all relevant conversa-tions relating to the popular recreation area into oneconsolidated and coherent master plan. The purpose

of the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park (CHWP)Master Plan is to guide the management of the 2,000-acre wilderness area, which sees nearly half a millionannual visits from people seeking to connect with theoutdoors.

In a collaborative effort between city staff, mem-bers of the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC),Claremont Wildlands Conservancy, MIG and thecommunity, the master plan includes environmentaland usage data and recommendations for plan imple-mentation upon adoption, as well as prescriptive ideasand possibilities for future implementation.

At nearly 1,000 pages including appendices, it’s alengthy but comprehensive playbook on how the citycan best preserve the park as an environmental re-source, manage it as a passive recreational area andminimize the impact park attendance will have on the

surrounding residential neighborhoods.Chapters 1 through 4 of the master plan provide

background and guidelines about the management,operations and maintenance of the Claremont HillsWilderness Park. Chapter 5 presents the implementation strategy, which MIG and city staff believe are thnecessary actions that should be taken to minimizeenvironmental and neighborhood impacts while stillproviding adequate access to the public.

The implementation plan includes 20 recommendtions, both short-term and long-range activities andprogramming, with many addressing more than onemaster plan goal or desired outcome. The recommendations run the gamut from renaming the park to theClaremont Hills Wilderness Area (CHWA) and in-stalling spike strips at the exits to the north parking l

to integrating informal trails into the trail network formanagement purposes.

While residents may be reading about some pro-posed recommendations for the first time, others willseem more familiar.

Two composting toilets are to be installed along themain loop, and kiosks located near the main entrancewill be relocated to an area where visitors more regu-larly pass by.

Standard park operating hours will remain the same.City staff believes that the current hours strike the bestbalance between access to the park and limiting im-pacts to the neighbors.

The Red Flag Emergency Closure Policy will con-tinue to be promoted onsite as well as on the city’swebsite. Trail open/closed signs have already been in-stalled for easier notification and, if approved, thecity’s Municipal Code will be updated to codify thispolicy.

Always a hot topic of conversation, whether it is acommunity town hall or city council meeting, is theparking situation at the Claremont Hills WildernessPark. A Congestion Parking Program as well as an in-crease in parking permit fees have been proposed in aneffort to mitigate the problem.

After reviewing parking permit fees at other re-gional parks, staff has recommended raising the priceof a four-hour temporary parking permit from $3 to $5and increasing the price on an annual permit from$100 to $140.

In 2014, the city sold 400 annual permits over theyear totaling $33,000 in revenue and, with the pro-posed increase in price, projects $46,300 in annualpermit fees. In fiscal year 2013-14, 108,302 temporaryparking permits were sold, bringing about $325,000 to

the city. Factoring a possible 30 percent reduction intemporary permit sales with the higher price, staff still

projects revenue of approximately $403,200, includ-ing revenue from congestion pricing.

What is the congestion pricing program? It goessomething like this: The north and south parking lotshave adequate space to accommodate visitors exceptduring peak periods, typically weekend morningswhen parking lots are full until 9 to 10 a.m. Peoplewho want to visit the park from opening until 10 a.m.on Saturday and Sunday will now pay $10 per tempo-rary parking permit.

The south Thompson Creek Trail parking lot willbe reserved for residents only during peak hours. An-nual and resident permits would still be valid. As aconsolation for the price increase, parking will be freein both lots on Sunday and Monday from noon until 4p.m.

The city fears that consequences associated with thecongestion pricing will include reduced visits overalland more parking migration or access through otherentrances. If the recommendation is approved, the po-tential impacts will be closely monitored by the city.

Parking impacts have already resulted in restrictionsbeing implemented to limit on-street parking to neigh-borhood residents with Residential Parking Permits(RPP). In June 2014, city council put a moratorium onany additional RPP zones until the CHWP MasterPlan was complete.

However, at the main entrance on Mills Avenue,visitors continue to park along residential streets. Staff recommends that council approve an RPP policyspecifically for the neighborhoods adjacent to themain entrance at Mills and the Pomello access point.

While some Claremont residents already benefitfrom the Residential Parking Permit policy, others donot. Via Padova serves the unincorporated area of Padua Hills where CHWP visitors have begun to park,creating safety concerns for residents. Because thisroadway falls within the Los Angeles County unincor-porated area, city staff proposes working with countyrepresentatives to advocate no parking along the

southern limits of the street.Creating a “Friends of the CHWP,” developing a

Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) and updating the Vegetation Management Plan are recom-mended as well.

Of all the recommendations, what may be most difficult for some longtime Claremonters to swallow isno longer referring to Johnson’s Pasture, Gale Ranchand Sycamore Canyon Park as separate entities. Formanagement purposes, city staff recommends foldingin all previous and future acquisitions into the Clare-mont Hills Wilderness Park name. To do so will re-quire amending the Municipal Code.

According to the master plan draft, “It makes senseto manage the hillsides as one facility, rather than dis-parate ones, with one set of rules.”

To achieve the desired outcomes of the CHWP, thecity feels an increase in park ranger staffing would benecessary. The Human Services Department currentlyhas a budget of $33,000 for two part-time rangers whwork only on weekends and are supplemented by volunteers. Staff recommends adding one full-time seniopark ranger to coordinate CHWP operations, exclud-ing maintenance, and five part-time rangers workingstaggered schedules. One-time upfront costs, includina new 4WD pickup truck, would be $42,500, with recurring annual staff costs of $162,500.

The city is seeking public input on the draft plan. ATAC meeting will be held at the Hughes Center onSeptember 10 at 6:30 p.m. The public is invited.

The master plan draft is available on the city’s website and hard copies are now available for review atClaremont City Hall, the Hughes Center and theClaremont Library.

Yes, I’ve been away on a ratherlong holiday trip to Europe,mostly visiting dear friends but

also exploring a few new places I have al-ways wanted to see. This year, the newcity was Prague and the new country wasPortugal. But there were other great expe-riences as part of the whole trip.

One part of taking such a trip is the airplane trans-portation necessary to get to my chosen destination ordestinations—not to mention all the options I need toconsider to make the final decision. Cost, comfort,non-stop or not, airline points: all these things are partof the decision-making process. And I am older now.

When I was a young traveler, I would squeeze inanywhere to get to wherever I was going, maybemoaning a bit along the way but choosing economyover comfort. Not any more. Long flights call formore than squashed-in seating, no room for legs andarms, in the tighter-fitting seats. I acknowledge that Icannot afford first or business class—although I wasonce bumped up to a first class seat on Virgin Airlinesand the trip was totally heavenly—but I have optedfor Premium Economy, a newer in-between class thatis offered by some airlines. Premium Economy offersa larger seat with only two in a row. I get to eat busi-ness class food, am located in a smaller section of theplane with two stewards and am able to board first. Ican have two to three pieces of checked-in luggage(the third one is usually waived as free). There aremany perks but there is also an additional cost. Do Ithink it is worth it? Absolutely.

When in Europe, I flew from London to Sweden onSAS, a regular airline, and I was cuddled up to myneighbor with my elbows close to my body like a Pi-

lates position. As it was only a two-hour flight, I felt itwas just fine, not like a 10-hour flight from LAX toHeathrow, London. Flying within Europe means shorthauls and low prices if one books early enough. Myfriends booked those flights and they were all undertwo hours.

To get to Prague from Sweden, we traveled on Nor-wegian Air and it was a normal flight with one smallcarry-on bag allowed and seats that did move back.But free food was not served. It was bare bones all theway, though comfortable enough at a very low price. Icould do that.

The flights on Easy Jet and Ryan Air are a differentstory. Everything is cut out or limited. Seats do not re-cline. Rows are closer together. You get one carry-on—either a backpack or a suitcase—and it ismeasured and has to be very small. Otherwise theymay stop you and charge you to have it checked in.These flights can also be very inexpensive and areshort enough to manage this packed sardine-style.The best that I can say is , “We got there.”

British Air has an inexpensive arm to its airline andwe flew from Spain to Gatwick, London. They were abit more flexible in allowing for checked baggage anddid not charge at all. All of this boils down to makingchoices not based simply on destination, cost and timebut adding in factors such as comfort, baggage al-lowance, which can be tough when you are on a long

haul trip taking everything you have with you. I waslucky to be able to leave most of my seven-week collection of clothing, gifts and newly-bought itemswhere I was staying so I only had one case with me.(Sadly, I admit to the fact that this one case was al-ways bigger and more full than it should have been.)

Two years ago I traveled to India via Hong Kongon Cathay Pacific Airlines, which was perfectly fineexcept for the discomfort of tighter seating. The tripwas a long one (LAX to Hong Kong and Hong Kongto Chennai, India). We traveled economy class due tothe higher expense of the upgrade to Premium Econ-omy. I do not wish to do that again for such a longflight. There is quite a difference in the comfort fac-tor, and that is something that I now consider when Iplan a trip abroad. I save for that added expense. Asfor using points gained from traveling or charging oncredit cards (as I wrote in a previous article), I havenot been successful in booking anything that I wanteeven three months in advance.

Once in Europe, my friend Frances and I tend totravel using trains to get from one city or country toanother. Seats are reserved and are not jammed to-

gether, many bags can be carried in the carriage, therare toilets available and wide windows to look out oat the scenery, which is most often interesting. In botPortugal and Spain, we discovered that the fares fortrain tickets were reduced for seniors. That was a special bonus.

How one chooses to travel is both a personal and apractical experience. Often airlines will offer morethan one choice, especially if you book early enoughLuckily, I have become quite intimate with myself,especially where comfort is concerned, and it is nowlarge factor in my choice of travel. Just ask my friendFrances. I also take taxis a lot more now than I everdid. Maybe I was really a Queen in a former life.

Residents are invited to spend thevening with the Pack as they raise fundfor the program. There will be foomusic, raffles, games, merchandise ana lot of fun available for all. CUSD elementary kids may walk with the Wolpack to earn Mileage Club credit.

The event is open to the public.

You might have already heard of the Claremont Energy Chal-lenge—it’s an initiative of the city

of Claremont, CHERP, Sustainable Clare-mont and more than 40 community organ-

izations to lead the nation in energy effi-ciency.

The Claremont Energy Challenge, initiated by Sus-tainable Claremont and implemented by CHERP, isClaremont’s bid in the $5 million Georgetown Univer-sity Energy Prize. Its goal is to develop a scalable,replicable and innovative model for city sustainability.

By helping retrofit over 270 homes in Claremont,CHERP has already received national attention for sav-ing residents money, making homes more comfortableand significantly reducing the greenhouse gas foot-prints in homes to help fight global warming.

Through the Claremont Energy Challenge, we hopeto build on our strong community roots and engageevery single Claremont resident in a conversationabout what they can do to save energy.

Here’s a summary of what we call the CEC-1-2-3:Get Started: Go to ClaremontEnergyChallenge.netand click the “Start Here” button to sign up for CHERPHome Energy Analytics to register your support and re-ceive twice-a-month reports that break down your en-

ergy use by heating, cooling, plug load, lighting, appli-ances, pool pumps, etc., and monthly suggestions aboutwhere you can save energy. We have received a

$50,000 grant to offer this very powerful program to allClaremont residents for free.

1. Easy Energy: Use energy-efficient appliances,power strips, and LED light bulbs. Goal: Lower yourenergy bill by 10 to 25 percent.

2. Retrofit: Improve insulation, seal air leaks and re-duce the load on your HVAC systems to heat and coolhomes. Goal: Lower your energy bill 30 to 60 percentand receive up to $6,500 in rebates.

3. Solar: After reducing the energy waste, you canproduce enough solar power for your entire home.Goal: Become a Net Zero Hero, with a utility bill lessthan $100 all year.

At Claremont Energy Challenge, we can connectyou with the resources to find a contractor, navigate themany rebates available and truly make this process aseasy as 1-2-3.

To help us spread the message, we’re launchingWalk The Town, an educational outreach initiative withthe goal to bring the energy conversation to everyhome in Claremont in the most direct way possible: bywalking door-to-door. Volunteers will be knocking on

your doors in the coming months in an ongoing effortto reach all 12,000 homes.

We’re also working with community members tohelp organize neighborhood coffees. At these events,neighbors and friends can meet at a volunteer’s hometo participate in an energy discussion with Devon Harman, executive director of Claremont Energy Chal-

lenge, over snacks and beverages.When a volunteer knocks on your door, look for a

CHERP shirt or Claremont Energy Challenge identi-fier. We’re not trying to sell anything—we’ll be askingyou what your energy interests are and bringing infor-mation about the CEC 1-2-3 and Sustainable Clare-mont, and even help you sign up for a free SoCal GasStarter Kit, which includes a low-flow shower headand two low-flow faucet aerators.

If you’d like to be trained as a Walk the Town volunteer, just attend one of our volunteer information ses-sions listed on the Claremont Energy Challenge calendar. Perhaps the most important way to participate,though, is to be an engaged resident ready to push to-wards an even more energy efficient future.

When we meet, we hope you will let us know whicissues in energy efficiency you care most about and

help us better understand how to become a model forsustainable cities across the nation. So be ready: we’rebringing energy savings to your doorstep.

John C. Powlesson, Jr. died on June19, 2015 at his home in Claremont. Hewas 99.

Mr. Powlesson was born on April 16,1916 in St. Louis, Missouri to John andCarrie Powlesson. He was a member of

the US Army Air Corps during WorldWar II, stationed in Anchorage, Alaska.It was there that he met his true love,Jean Van Zante. They were married inAnchorage on Thanksgiving Day, 1946.They had two sons, Edward andHoward.

He received his bachelor’s degreefrom Oregon State University andearned a Master of Business Economicsdegree from Claremont GraduateSchool. He worked as a quality controlengineer for both Aerojet and SouthernCalifornia Edison.

Mr. Powlesson moved his family toClaremont in 1961. He was active in theClaremont Presbyterian Church and later

with the South Hills PresbyterianChurch in Pomona, where for manyyears he served as an elder. He alsoserved on the Presbyterian Governing

Board for Westminster Gardens in

Duarte. As a young boy, John joined theBoy Scouts of America and reached therank of a Life Scout. Later, he served asa scoutmaster for his sons’ Boy Scout

Troup 405 in Claremont.After retirement, Mr. Powlesson en-

joyed woodworking. A fan of Sam Mal-oof, he spent hours in his garageworkshop, making pieces that benefitedfrom his inventive mind and meticulous

nature. Among his many projects, hebuilt a three-tiered plant stand and de-vised a wine rack to be stored under hishome’s crawlspace where the winewould be kept cool. One of his moststriking pieces was a decorative bowlcarved out of a burl from a black walnuttree. He also enjoyed seeing the world,and traveled extensively with familythroughout the United States, Europeand Asia.

A fan of poetry and literature, Mr.Powlesson had a near-photographicmemory and could recite poems andlyrics to fit any occasion. Once, thedaughter of a friend was over at thehouse. Her name was Katy, which re-

minded Mr. Powlesson of the World WarI-era song “K-K-K-Katy” in which asmitten young soldier stutters in thecompany of women. Finally, the military

man manages to woo Katy, a maid withhair of gold. Mr. Powlesson launchedinto the song, “K-K-K-Katy, beautifulKaty, you’re the only g-g-g-girl that Iadore...” Tears welled up in the girl’seyes and she shared that her grandfathe

who had passed away, used to sing thesong to her.

John is described by those closest tohim as a “gentle giant and no respecterof persons” and as “a kind man, quick trespond and long in patience.”

He was predeceased by his wife Jeanand is survived by his sons and daugh-ters-in-law, Edward and Deborah Pow-lesson of Claremont and Howard andTrish Powlesson of Ashland, Virginia.He also leaves his grandchildren, EricPowlesson, Ashley and Michael Garciaand Aric and Summer Sanders as well agreat-grandson Donovan Sanders.

Senior community enriches summer for local kids

There’s a special kind of learning going on atMt. San Antonio Gar-

dens. Seventeen kids fromCLASP (Claremont After-

School Programs) are finishingup a month-long summercamp, held on the senior com-munity’s scenic campus.

On afternoons during the schoolyear, CLASP provides homework help,supervision and enrichment to kids atrisk of falling through the educationalcracks. Some students come from so-cioeconomically disadvantaged house-holds, while others have parents whoare unable to help with homework be-cause they speak no English. Familiespay for the program as they can, withno one turned away for lack of money.

The summer camp is a pilot pro-

gram, spearheaded by Mt. San AntonioGardens (MSAG) resident Carole Har-ter. Ms. Harter—advisor for CLASP’sTutor Recruitment & Retention Com-mittee—says it all started when theGardens’ new CEO Maureen Beith ap-proached her and said, “What’s all thisabout CLASP?”

Ms. Harter explained that, while theGardens has plenty of potential volun-teers among its largely retired residents,the campus isn’t suitable to fit therecreational needs of CLASP students.The administrator looked at Ms. Harterand said, “How about a summercamp?”

It was already March, and so Ms.

Harter feared there wouldn’t be enoughtime to organize the camp. However,once both the CLASP and MSAGboards green-lighted the collaboration,things moved quickly.

A core group of residents, includingMs. Harter, Evelyn Diaz Brown andDebbie Griffin, reached out to the Gar-dens community to see who was will-ing to lend time and expertise to agroup of CLASP kids.

“What my philosophy about this pro-gram has been from the very get-go isthat it had to be fun for everyone in-volved or it would definitely not besuccessful,” Ms. Harter said.

On Tuesday, there was definitely fun

afoot. The children were engaged in abird walk under the guidance of resi-dents and Pomona Valley Audubon So-ciety members Ed Babcock and GloriaSlosberg.

The kids, who had been equippedwith binoculars, were first directed totake in the sight of a robin perched on atall tree. “You have to see the bird withyour eyes before you put your binocu-lars on,” Mr. Babcock advised. “Andremember, the first rule of bird-watch-ing is you don’t bother the birds.”

James Nguyen, 7, was the first tospot the red-breasted creature. “I see it.It’s awesome. That’s a robin, alright,”he said.

James’ 5-year-old sister Jade tookonly a moment longer to zero in on the

bird. “I found it!” she ex-claimed.

The party next went on to ex-amine a nook of a MSAGbuilding. There on a ledge be-neath the eaves was a mourning

dove sitting on an egg. “Moth-ers and fathers share sitting on anest for two weeks,” Mr. Bab-cock noted.

The students are broken upinto two groups of seven and10, arriving at staggered times.Along with science, they attenda language arts class taught byretired teachers Norma Wilsonand Virginia Relf. The unit in-cludes reading, writing and dis-cussion.

“One of the important thingsCLASP does during the year isa lot of one-on-one talkingabout what the kids have read,”

Ms. Harter said. “Over andover, I’ve had teachers tell methat it’s the chance to talk thatmakes the most difference.”

There is also a music compo-nent and, again, the residentshave stepped up to share theirresources. One Gardenerplayed a horn for the children.Another brought in several members of their musical family to sing operasongs to the students.

The kids’ hands-down favorite activ-ity seems to be taking a refreshing dipin the Mt. San Antonio Gardens pool.Another portion of the summer campthat has been especially successful is

lunch.An assigned lunch buddy takes the

kids through the Gardens’ buffet. Theythen sit among the Gardeners and enjoythe food and company.

“I know what I get from sitting andtalking to a little kid,” Ms. Harter said.“I get a different perspective on theworld, and I think the kids’ lives arericher from sitting with us.”

The pilot program has been fun for

everyone involved. There is talk thatthe Gardens may offer a summer camp

for CLASP kids next year. Itwould have to once more be ap-proved by both boards, and iscontingent on CLASP havingsufficient funding for things liketransportation.

One person who thinks a re-peat performance is a good ideais Julien Aquino, a third grader aMountain View ElementarySchool who has been a CLASPparticipant since first grade.

“I like it because we get toplay games,” he said of the sum-mer camp. “I’m having fun.”

CLASP sessions for the 2015-2016 school year begin Septem-ber 14 and end in mid-May. Theare held at Claremont Presbyte-rian Church, Blaisdell Commu-nity Center, Claremont VillageApartments and Good ShepherdEvangelical Lutheran Church.

Community members can helsupport the efforts of CLASP in number of ways. Contributionsof money and supplies are al-ways welcome. The most neededresource, however, for this volunteer-driven program is time.

CLASP volunteers who sign uto be substitute tutors can con-

tribute as little as two hours a year.Other people opt to spend more timewith the program, tutoring the kidsfrom between one to three afternoons week.
