Newspaper owner hiring staff to improve content

After hearing negative news from the newspaper industry for years now, Im starting to believe that newsprint might just be around for a while. I say this not because Warren Buffet invests in media companies, but for a truly surprise announcement from the new owner of the Orange County Register. In my view, the Register has, in recent years, demonstrated traits of the worst trends happening to newspapers and their websites. They not only had countless cuts of editorial staff, but the value of a reporter or photographer was measured by the number of hits their work generated on their website. Reporters were so paranoid about hit counts some would show up with a camera to shoot at assignments. It didnt matter if a staff photographer was already there shooting. They would shoot more pictures and publish their own slideshow, just to get credit for driving hits to the website. The papers content suffered in an effort to be trendy or hip, and in most cases it was written for a third grader. As a former employee of the Register (I was the director of photographer long ago), all these developments made me quite sad, especially for the former colleagues that still work there. But the new Register owner and publisher Aaron Kushner changed all that in an instant. Mr. Kushner believes the path to success should focus on subscribers. Give them a publication with good content and information they value, and they will also be good customers. That means more pages with news, in-depth

reporting and storytelling to enhance their publications. Publications readers will want to pay forin print and online. Now I could brag and say the Register just copied the COURIER business model, but the point here is the newspaper will be hiring 25 people to improve the journalism based on this approach. One website reporting this story said staffers were being driven crazy. That may be with the online editors, but I get a much different version from the people producing the newspaper each day. They said for the first time in years, the ownership actually cares about producing quality work and is not trying to cut their way to profits. I mean, whats not to like about hiring 25 more people? I wish the Orange County Register staff and ownership luck. Meaningful change will not happen overnight, but this is a good start. And of course, I am available for a consultation anytime.

Gold Line extension plans continue despite lack of funds
espite the Metro Transportation Authoritys decision not to fund the Gold Lines continuation from Azusa to Montclair, plans for the 12.3-mile portion of the Los Angeles and San Bernardino county light rail system continue to move forward.
The Foothill Extension Authority Board released the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) this week for the estimated $800 million dollar project. Lack of identified funds is no hindrance for the Foothill Extension board, which will begin to look into other possible sources of future funding, according to Sam Pedroza, chairman of the Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension.
You never know what changes will arise. We need to have a plan, Mr. Pedroza said, adding that the extension board will still continue to seek federal funding. The extensive report includes 6 stations and parking facilities to be built in the cities of Claremont, Glendora, La Verne, Montclair, Pomona and San Dimas. Also included are 26 level crossings, 2 bridges and 2 overpasses. No significant impact is expected to the city of Claremont, according to Mr. Pedroza. In fact, he believes it will alleviate some of the traffic build-up currently experienced with the Metrolink train, which will be moved farther east and include a new platform. Mr. Pedroza also noted that the historic aspects of the Claremont Depot will remain intact. As the environmental report moves

POLICE BLOTTER
Wednesday, August 15 More than $12,000 in equipment was stolen from the Claremont strawberry patch, located on the corner of Base Line Road and Towne Avenue, between Monday, August 13 and Wednesday, August 15. Among the stolen loot was a $5000 rototiller, a $2500 cooling fan and $3000 worth of wiring. A day later, 2 women were arrested for taking a pair of scamper jacks from the Strawberry Patch totaling an estimated $400. Janis Koziol, 55, and Cheryl Inge, 49, both of La Verne, claim they had attempted to contact the owners of the patch numerous times, but with no luck. Because the scamper jacks were rusted and found in a pile of other metal items, they assumed the property was unwanted and took it. A connection between the 2 strawberry patch thefts is unknown at this time. **** Jenny Estrada called Claremont police in a panic Wednesday night from a payphone at the Wine and Liquor Market. Ms. Estrada claimed that she was being followed. Her pursuers were not located, but a glass meth pipe in Ms. Estradas possession was. She was arrested for being under the influence of methamphetamine and for possession of drug paraphernalia.

CITY NEWS
Proud pooch owners unite to preserve park
ast August, enthusiastic dog owners returned to Claremonts beloved Pooch Park in droves after a 6-week closure for what many deemed much-needed updates to the popular facilities.
Its like a family reunion, one exclaimed of the return of the close-knit community and their gathering space. Now a year after the parks reopening, the Pooch Park family prepares to gather with as much fervor as the first day of the parks reopening, but with a renewed purpose. Friends of the Claremont Pooch Park, a volunteer group enlisted to help care for the park, will host a preliminary community informational meeting at Blaisdell Community Center on Monday to propose additional fixes to the pooch-designated area located within College Park, such as stadium lighting. Park users are eager to fix possible liability issues and bring the pooch park area up to the standard of Claremonts other prized community spaces. This is the most used park, but its not maintained to the level of other parks in town, said Debi Woolery, vice president of the Friends of the Pooch Park. We want to be able to continue to use our park to the max. Among concerns are safety issues associated with the darkness that falls by the time of the park closing, currently listed as 9 p.m. Eileen Prendergast, who can often be spotted walking the track while her German/Australian Shepherd mix Reilly roams, was particularly concerned because she has used the walking trail, walking stick in hand, to rehabilitate after breaking her femur. Im not as fleet-of-foot as the others, she said, fearing a fall over a hole or mound in the dark. Park-users also worry about an easement toward the back of the park that has been known to be used as a sleeping spot for the homeless, a nook for vandalism or even, at one point, a den for coyotes. Having lights on until at least 9 p.m. will help alleviate these concerns, Ms. Woolery said. The lights the Friends would like to propose for the park would be similar to those currently found at Padua Park, according to Ms. Woolery. Unlike typical stadium lighting, these lights will be smaller and have rounded tops to keep from overly interfering with neighboring residences. The Friends approached the city with the idea, which recommended talking with neighbors. It sounds to me like they are taking the right steps, said City Manager Tony Ramos. With worsening conditions come needed repairs Proposed new additions to the park such as lights and other issues of general maintenance have been brought to the attention of the city, which has been helpful when issues are brought to their attention, according to Ms. Prendergast and others. However, as months have passed, satisfaction has waned for some who claim bad conditions at the park have returned, and in some cases worsened. Its the most used park in Claremont and the most abused, said park user Terry Wilson. They are reseeding [the grass] at Padua, making all of these other parks beautiful and we are so grateful to have the Pooch Park, but why not keep it right? Especially after spending the money. Last summer, the city temporarily closed the park to repair drinking fountains, provide fresh coats of paint, replace dog waste receptacles and add additional granite to the parks walking trail, which wraps around the perimeter of the gated space. Fresh grass was also added to the previously patchy lawns. Though the exact cost of the renovations was requested, a response

could not be provided as of press time. The month-long renovations marked the first time the park had received such extensive renovations since its opening in 2006. Chief among Ms. Wilsons concerns is the grass, which she says has returned to its patchy state and worsened after the water was shut off 6 weeks ago. During that time, park users noted that in addition to grass, a couple of the parks trees died. They were removed and have yet to be replaced. Another issue is the loose dirt. Its a dust bowl, said Ms. Wilson, who says the city has not responded to her requests and those of numerous others. When the dogs play, they kick up the dirt and then start crashing into other dogs and people. The Friends, with the help of Claremont staff, are getting to the bottom of these problems, according to
Linda Washington, who serves as the groups liaison with the city. Plans are in place to plant new trees in the fall, eliminate bug problems along the back wall, correct the water issue and add sealer to the tracks loose dirt, she says. All of these things are being addressed and the city is working very closely with me, said Ms. Washington, who added that the Friends bylaws have designated that the groups liaison will be the citys contact on problems with the park. Weve been on the ball with the city on these issues. Mr. Ramos agreed with Ms. Washingtons statements, adding that $55,000 has been designated in the citys budget to continue to improve park conditions. Among proposed uses for the money is alleviating the

EDUCATION
New teachers and a new grade: CUSD gears up for the school year
he Claremont Unified School District Board of Education adjourned after only an hour at its Wednesday, August 24 gathering, the last before the start of school.
Since there were no public comments, the board recessed to a CUSD closed session almost imBOARD mediately after the 6:30 p.m. start time to mull over human resource matters. After the meeting reconvened, Bonnie Bell, assistant superintendent of educational services, gave an update on where the district stands with regards to transitional kindergarten, a new grade to be implemented statewide this fall in accordance with the Kindergarten Readiness Act of 2010. Ms. Bell noted thatafter much wrangling between the Democratic senate and Governor Jerry Brown, who had hoped to cut $132 million allocated for transitional kindergarten (TK) from the budgetthe district was finally notified last month the program was a go. In anticipation, CUSD has been proactive, beginning last spring by collecting the names of qualifying children whose parents are interested in the optional
grade. The districts kindergarten teachers have received some basic TK training, and the districts planning team created a brochure explaining the new grade to parents. The brochure is likely to be in demand, because the implementation and the reasons behind the programs enactment are somewhat complex. In recent years, the state has instituted an earlier cutoff date for kindergarten, with students required to celebrate their 5th birthday by September instead of Dec. 2 in order to start school. On its face, the change, which keeps thousands of kids out of public schools an extra year, seems like a money-saving move. However, as pointed out by a June 2012 itemTransitional funding spared under Democrats budget on the LA Times PolitiCal blogit also creates demand for public child-care services. The Kindergarten Readiness Act, signed into law by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, seeks to end the lag faced by young fives. In the 2012-13 school year, TK, a grade for students who just miss the kindergarten cutoff age, will welcome children born between November 2 and December 2. In the 2013-14 school year, students born between October and December 2 will qualify for TK. And in the 2014-15 school year and subsequent years, TK classes will include kids born between
September 2 and December 2. Students who attend transitional kindergarten classes will be placed in a kindergarten class the following year, making kindergarten a 2-year program for those who opt for TK. The CUSD website describes TK thusly: The curriculum combines the essential foundations of preschool with the California Common Core Standards for Kindergarten. Teachers will help children develop social and communication skills through activities that build confidence while supporting the traditional kindergarten curriculum of math, literacy, and language development taught in interactive ways. Ms. Bell took a moment to elaborate on the preschool-like components of the program, saying that, with elements of play such as dress-up and blocks, the program is built like the kindergarten of old you and I probably attended. Claremonts first transitional kindergarten students will be placed in a combination TK/kindergarten class held at Oakmont School and taught by Alecia Brown, with the assistance of an instructional aid and a volunteer staffer. Ms. Brown was sent to TK training and is being paired with a mentor from a district that has already begun a TK program. After the children go home at 11:30 a.m., she will be allotted time to
create TK lessons that can be used by other teachers as the program grows. Mike Bateman, executive director of student services, estimates that there are 20-25 students who qualify for TK this year, 9 of whom have elected to be among the districts first crop of young fives. Other agenda items included the boards authorization of the employment or reassignment of a number of classroom teachers. Two new hires joining the Oakmont staff, Sarah Giles and Lindsay Porter, who will serve as a classroom teacher and a resource specialist assisting with special education students, respectively, were on hand to witness the boards approval. Oakmont Elementary School Principal Stacey Stewart accompanied her new staffers in a show of support, and then took them to dinner to celebrate their addition to the Oakmont team. School begins Wednesday, August 29. The next meeting of the CUSD board, set for Thursday, September 13 at 6:30 p.m., will be preceded by a welcome reception for new Superintendent James Elsasser. The public is welcome to attend the meet-and-greet, which will be held from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at the Richard S. Kirkendall Board of Education at 170 W. San Jose Ave. in Claremont.

A pair of dogs sniff around a patchy grass area on Wednesday at the Claremont Pooch Park. Some park users have complained that the park has fallen into disrepair since its restoration a year ago, while others claim that the city has done a good job responding to their needs.
POOCHPARK continued from the previous page
parks irrigation problems, which have contributed to the continual drying out of the grass. We want to reconstruct some swells, add catch basins and install some more sod, said Mr. Ramos of plans to fix the problem. Weve also instructed our contractor to renovate turf areas that need attention.
Watering times have been adjusted to cater to the dry areas of the park while minimizing the puddle problems. The citys contractor, CLS, has also been instructed to perform irrigation checks on a biweekly basis and broken valves have been replaced. As these issues are brought to our attention, we are working with the Friends to work through them, Mr. Ramos said. They have been great to work with and we really appreciate all their efforts.
In the early evening sun Thursday, Pooch Park users echoed these sentiments, eager to continue working toward the same goalmaintaining their home away from home. The city is very attentive to our needs, said Marcella Flores of Pomona. Theres no place like this [park] in this area that Id rather go.
A play on words
by Jan Wheatcroft
s I write and talk, I throw words around interchangeably, such as travel, journey, trip, vacation and holiday without thinking about the subtle meanings and impressions that they can have on the reader and listener. For me, travel is about the unfamiliar and undiscovered. Vacation is more about simplification and renewal.
A vacation involves travel, but travel is not always a vacation. By that, I mean travel can be full of uncertainty, dealing with where and when to go or move on, how to arrange it, where to stay, and what to see and do. Vacations can be a relief from that. They can include a one-place stay where everything is arranged or taken care of such as a spa, retreat, resort, lodge or a cruise where you are free to indulge in the activities of the area: shop, sightsee, hike, bike, read, eat or explore. All these things are available to you without having to do the research, make the mistakes, lose time and perhaps make discoveries involved in all of that. A vacation involves relaxation and even rejuvenation of spirit and body, and a time away from routine. It can be a soothing experience, a chance to catch up on reading, sleep or a relationship, to be with family or to try new activities while the rest of life is taken care of by others. Vacations can also involve returning to familiar places over and over and repeating pleasant activities that are familiar and enjoyable. It may not be an adventure but it is rewarding in its familiarity and the ability to revive the mind and body after a year that may have involved the stresses of living our lives. My good friend Frances does just that. Frances tries to return to Goa, India after the harsh winters and dreary rains of London for at least once a year in February to experience her familiar take on the sun and simpler life there, with fewer choices to make and more time not to make them. She takes long walks on the sandy beach, eats simple, healthy meals fixed by local women, drinks her morning chai
looking at the sea and reads many good books. She also takes long naps, has as many massages and therapies as she can afford, stays in simple but friendly accommodations and sees old friends who have been coming to the same place and doing the same activities over the years. She returns to London and its overcast skies with her work revived and lighter of heart and body. That is a vacation, indeed. I return over and over again to London for opposite reasons. I have plenty of sun, and the nature of my work is to be inside and creating. I long for lively and stimulating urban settings, but still enjoy the familiar places and the repetition of seeing them again and again, as well as people whom I have known for years and wish to strengthen the bonds with. I can fulfill the needs of my craft work by buying the materials I need in familiar places, staying in the same rented flat, going to long-loved restaurants, wandering the aisles of bookstores and yet still exploring new places to add to my list of favorite things to do. London is a homecoming and familiar enough to provide me with a real feeling of a relaxing vacationa home away from home, so to speak. I also go to Sweden as often as possible. I could explore more as I have only seen a small part of Sweden, but I go to visit friends in their country home. We eat good food, shop at the same markets, putter in their garden which changes over the passing years, take lovely drives and visit small villages, many of that I have visited before. I sleep, have one long day in Stockholm, which is one of my favorite cities, and
generally leave more relaxed and revived than when I arrived. This is a vacation for me and I consider myself lucky for it. On the other hand, I love travel with a capital T. I love to plan and anticipate something that I havent done or seen before, knowing that adventure is waiting for me. My last trip to Vietnam, Hong Kong, Laos and Cambodia was that sort of trip. We did it on our own and most of our plans were made in the moment, when we were ready for a change. Hotels were what we could find or get. Some were reserved a day or two in advance (planned) and some were found in the moment (unplanned). There were many more decisions to make during most of the trip. We did have a few days at a resort in Cambodia that required very little decision-making other than should we take a swim in the river, should we walk or eat now and so on. We had no idea what we would find. So much of the trip was adventurous and all was new. It was not a restful experience where we returned revived and ready to take on the world once again. However, it expanded our vision, enlarged our experiences in traveling, and made us feel welcome in an unknown world. I love both of these experiences and enjoy the journeys that bring me to where I am going as well as the journeys end. I like airplane trips and now try to make them as comfortable as possible since they are part of the trip. I like being on boats, I love going onto Islands, I enjoy historical villages and small towns and I am happy exploring big cities, especially those with separate villages or centers of their own. I absolutely love to eat and find new food experiences, markets and cuisines, all of which create an adventure in itself. I enjoy old things, old customs, antiques, local handcrafts, youthful designers, new ideas and old items revived to be made new again. I love being out in the world, whether it is as an explorer or adventurer or as a vacationer searching for a means to the familiarthe relaxing and the rekindling of the passions that stoke the fires to keep my life ablaze, rich and rewarding.

Support for the Gold Line
Dear Editor: The League of Women Voters is very supportive of having the Gold Line continue to Claremont and San Bernardino County. We urge interested residents to take a look at the Draft Environmental Impact Report and comment on it directly to the Gold Line Construction Authority. Earlier this week, the construction authority released the Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the proposed Foothill Extension from Azusa to Montclair. This important environmental review evaluates the impacts of the proposed 12.3-mile light rail extension, which includes 6 new stations (Glendora, San Dimas, La Verne, Pomona, Clare-

mont and Montclair) and 2 new gradeseparated crossings (at Lone Hill in Glendora and Towne Avenue in Pomona). The proposed extension is planned to run mostly at street level and parking is planned at each station. The Draft EIR is available for review at the construction authoritys offices and on the authoritys website at www.foothillextension.org. Hard copies are also available at public libraries in the corridor cities (Azusa, Glendora, San Dimas, La Verne, Claremont and Montclair), and at the Pomona Planning Department while the Pomona library is temporarily closed. The public is encouraged to review the Draft EIR and provide comments by the close of the comment period on October 5, 2012. Upon completion of the public review period, a Final EIR will be prepared to include any comments received on the Draft EIR, as well as any responses to those comments. The Final EIR will also include any revisions to the Draft EIR that are necessary to address issues raised during the comment period. We encourage you to review the Draft EIR and respond to the Gold Line Con-

Ms. Bissell was born in Cumberland, Maryland to Maude and Cyrus Gilbert on March 7, 1918. She spent her formative years in Darien, Connecticut where her father was a pharmacist and her mother a nurse. She graduated from the College of William and Mary (the countrys second oldest college), where she was a Phi Mu, in Williamsburg, Virginia in 1939. Ms. Bissell was active with her mother in the Altar Guild of Bruton Parish in Williamsburg and was fond of Dr. William A.R. Goodwin, the Bruton Parish rector who was the impetus behind the Williamsburg restoration. She also met John D. Rockefeller Jr., who Dr. Goodwin convinced to fund the restoration of the city to its original Colonial charm. She married Frederick Green Bissell on November 8, 1942 and after the war they returned to Westwood, California where their first child, Richard, was born. Mr. Bissell soon obtained employment at Sunkist in Ontario and they moved there in 1948. In 1949, their son Robert was born at San Antonio Community Hospital. Ms. Bissell was a parishioner at St. Marks Episcopal Church in Upland for more than 60 years. There, she and her mother were very active in the Altar Guild and in many other church activities for many years. A longtime member of the local Embroiderer Guild, her needlework graces St. Marks, her room at Emeritus and the homes of her sons and relatives. Ms. Bissell was a Cub Scout den mother and a Girl Scout leader. She began to substitute teach in the OntarioMontclair School District and studied for her masters degree in education. Soon, she obtained her credential and taught 4th grade at El Camino School in Ontario for many years. She was very fond of her students and especially enjoyed teaching about the California missions. After retirement, she again substituted and taught at St. Marks school. Ms. Bissell was a world traveler, enjoying trips to Japan, China and Europe

Mr. Pilz was born on March 1, 1930 in Chemnitz, Germany to Klara and Oswin Pilz.

In 1968, the Pilzes moved to Claremont with their 2 children, Sabrina and Alexander. Of his parenting style, Mr. Pilzs son, Alexander Pilz, said, He was very stern and strict, not relaxed by any stretch. But he had a big hearthe loved us all very much. In 2005, Mr. Pilz became a US citizen, an accomplishment that was one of the highlights of his life. He loved his life in the United States, his son noted. He was very proud of finally becoming a citizen.

City continues to explore acquisition of Golden State Water
laremont Mayor Larry Schroeder and Mayor Pro Tem Opanyi Nasiali recently met with City Manager Tony Ramos and his staff to discuss the ongoing opposition to Golden State Water Companys pending application before the California Public Utilities Commission (PUC), according to a press release.
The publically-traded water company is seeking to raise water rates by more than 25 percent in 2013. At the meeting, city attorneys provided updates on the
legal actions being initiated or explored relative to the potential acquisition of the water delivery infrastructure. Our community is being held hostage by a broken regulatory system at the state level, said Mr. Schroeder. The current process does not provide adequate access for our ratepayers voices to be heard; instead, the public is required to put their blind trust in a handful of state bureaucrats. While Claremont continues to fight Golden State Waters rate application, significant progress has been made regarding the appraisal of the water system for possible acquisition, he said. The Division of Ratepayers Advocate (DRA) recently announced it would recommend a 15.1 percent increase in 2013
for Golden State Water Company. The non-binding recommendation, which is clearly seen as a compromise between the water company and PUC staff, will next be reviewed by an Administrative Law judge before being sent to the governing body of the PUC for consideration. As the city of Claremont was filing a legal motion to oppose the DRAs proposed settlement, Golden State Waters parent company announced that its quarterly profits exceeded $15 million, stating that a portion of the profits are a direct result of increased rates in Claremont. Finally, Golden State Water admitted something we have always known: they are profiting from and exploiting Clare-
mont ratepayers, Mr. Schroeder stated in the release. For the DRA to suggest an increase for a publically-traded company, while the ink on their earnings announcement isnt even dry, highlights the desperate need for reform. I look forward to reviewing all options available to the council, including permanently eliminating Golden State Water as Claremonts water service provider. Earlier this summer, the Claremont City Council directed city staff to explore all options available regarding the acquisition of the water delivery system from Golden State Water Company. It is anticipated that the appraisal of Golden State Water within Claremont will be available and presented to the city council in October.

Pilgrim Place offers ESL classes to health care center employees
On a journey to transform the way care is provided in its skilled nursing settingbased on resident-centered values and practicesPilgrim Place has discovered that enhancing the communication skills of the limited-Englishspeaking staff is making a difference. The job description of the housekeeping staff has become that of homemaker, said Sue Fairley, vice president of health services at Pilgrim Place. Their jobs have been expanded as part of care teams to include more daily interaction with the residents, including feeding them and tending to other needs. It is not uncommon for this staff to be made up largely of limited-English-
speaking workers. Better communication skills make it easier for both the employees and the residents. Four members of the homemaking staff attend ESL (English as a second language) classes 3 times a week for an hour a day at Pilgrim Place. Pat Hynds, a Pilgrim Place resident and retired Maryknoll missioner, volunteered to teach the classes. In addition to her missionary work, Ms. Hynds taught ESL at the junior high, high school and community college level. She is assisted by several other volunteers and residents of Pilgrim Place. The students come 30 minutes early for the class, on their own time, and the second half-hour of the class is treated as part of their work day. It is amazing how quickly these classes have allowed them to overcome their timidity, Ms. Hynds said. There was a lot of excitement when a recent staff meeting was held entirely in English without the need of a translator,
according to Pilgrim Place staff. Being able to communicate reduces anxiety as we transition into this new mode of care, Ms. Hynds said. They really feel as if they are part of the team. One of the students even took it upon herself to enroll in adult school. Thats progress. Pilgrim Place, founded in 1915, is a senior community for 350 retired clergy, missionaries and social activists. In the
last 3 years Pilgrim Place has transformed the 56-bed health services center, which is also available to the wider community, from a traditional medical model to a more patient-centered one. Chief among the benefits of this new model, according to Pilgrim Place, is the restored dignity to the oldest members of our society, who must rely on someone else for many of lifes essentials.

The markets are rising, but will it stick?

by Suzanne H. Christian
Like the tortoise beating the hare, the US stock market has been slowly and steadily inching its way up over the past few weeks. Since touching an intraday low on June 4, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the NASDAQ and the S&P 500 index have all rallied more than 10 percent, according to CNBC. In fact, the Dow and S&P 500 have now risen for 6 consecutive weeks. It feels a bit like a stealth rally as volume has been very low and volatility, as measured by the CBOE volatility index, is at its lowest level in 5 years. Even Europe is enjoying a strong run. As CNBC reported, European shares hit 13-month highs, extending their longest weekly winning streak in 7 years, amid hopes that euro zone policymakers will work closely to tackle the debt crisis. Not everything is going up, though. While improving economic data on the job market, the housing industry, the index of leading indicators, retail sales, consumer purchasing and consumer sentiment has helped the stock market, its done just the opposite to the Treasury market, according to Bloomberg. Prices for the 10-year Treasury just posted their worst 4-week drop since December 2010, says Bloomberg. The fall in bond pricesand the corresponding increase in bond yieldssuggests traders think the improving economic data may forestall the Federal Reserve from stepping in with another round of monetary stimulus. Once summer is over and the big Wall Street traders get back from the Hamptons, well get a better read on whether this tortoise-like market will keep inching its way up or decide to take a breather.
VIEWPOINT
SOMETHING BEGAN IN THE STOCK MARKET 30 YEARS AGO that still has people shaking their heads today. Back on August 12, 1982, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at its 1980-82 recession low of 776.92, according to The Wall Street Journal. Around the country, it was just an ordinary day in an otherwise economically challenged economy. But, on Wall Street, it was the beginning of something extraordinary. Depending on your age, you may remember that back in 1982, the prime lending rate peaked at 17 percent, the unemployment rate was near 11 percent, and inflation was on the way down from the double-digit rates of 1979-1980, according to The Wall Street Journal and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Demographically, the oldest Baby Boomers were a youthful 36 and just getting ready to unleash their penchant for big spending. Ronald Reagan was President, Paul Volcker was head of the Federal Reserve, and, while an unlikely pair, they were about to make history together. Reflecting back on the summer of 1982 in a 2009 Wall Street Journal piece, Jason Desena Trennert wrote, Starting as a trickle, the decline in inflation and longterm interest rates picked up speed that summer, and investors in common stocks began to have confidence that they were being liberated from the shackles of double-digit inflation and interest rates, an innovation-sap-
ping regulatory regime, and a tax code that was antithetical to capital formation." Awakening from its slumber the day after August 12, 1982, the stock market took off on an unprecedented 18-year bull market run that saw the Dow Jones Industrial Average rise a spectacular 1500 percent, according to Bloomberg. So, here we are, 30 years removed from the start of that great bull market and what do we have to show for it? Well, since that great bull market ended in early 2000, weve experienced 2 harrowing bear markets that saw the broad market decline around 50 percent. And, today, were still below the all-time high of late 2007. Yet, heres what is extraordinary. Despite the weak markets weve experienced since 2000, if you go back to August 1982 and look at the returns for the past 30 years, the market has done extremely well. According to The Wall Street Journal, the total return of the S&P 500 index was a compound 11.3 percent between August 1982 and now. Thats even better than the average return for the entire 20th century, which was 10.1 percent, according to the Journal. Its easy to get too caught up in whats happening today in the markets and lose sight of the big picture. Instead, it's better to take the long view. While past performance is no guarantee of future results, the past 30 years have shown that patience may be rewarded. Suzanne Christian is a certified financial planner based in Claremont

Documentary film project asks:
Can a summer math camp provide a bridge out of poverty?
ath is a gate-keeper for kids.And for kids from poor neighborhoods, it can be the thing that locks them into a life of poverty.
In 2011, Claremont Graduate University, in partnership with Harvey Mudd College and the Long Beach Unified School District, launched an innovative and ambitious program which gathered up a group of promising 13 year olds from one of the toughest neighborhoods in Long Beach, and gave them intensive math trainingtraining designed to shore up their skills as they headed into high school and, ultimately, to create a pathway for them to college. Karen McMillen, a Claremont-based documentary filmmaker, was brought onto the project to create a short fundraising film chronicling the first summer of the camp. That film, Strong Moves: The ClaremontLong Beach Math Collaborative, won a CINE Golden Eagle and was instrumental in helping the program to raise sufficient funds to double in size the fol-
Determined to keep documenting the first class to go through the collaborative, Ms. McMillen set out to create a feature-length documentary that would tell the story. Ms. McMillen and her team have continued to follow the initial group of scholars, donating much of their time and equipment to the film project, recently launching a fundraising campaign to help cover the costs of filming during the upcoming year. Their goal is to raise $5530 in 30 days via the online fundraising tool, Kickstarter.

The Claremont COURIER newspaper and website is looking to hire a part-time sports reporter (20 hours per week) who can also write a non-sports feature story on occasion. Candidates should bring an enthusiasm about sports writing, and knowledge about Claremont. This is not a job covering the Lakers or Dodgers. This is a local reporting position covering city sports at all levels and all age groups. Our top candidate will be an organized self-starter with ideas, can work under deadline pressure for website updates, can take direction and work in a team atmosphere. Expect some night and weekend work. The COURIER publishes twice each week and has a robust website that is updated daily. Pay will be determined by expertise and experience. If interested, email your resume and cover letter to: Kathryn Dunn, managing editor editor@claremont-courier.com

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property.
