The Citrus College Administration of Justice program has been meeting the needs of local law enforcement agencies for nearly 60 years. The program has adopted a theory-based curriculum that brings a variety of experiences and viewpoints to students. Additionally, the program is unique in its emphasis on degree completion and transfer to four-year institutions. The result is graduates who are well-prepared for law enforcement careers.
The history of Claremont is riddled with systemic racism and racially restrictive covenants. In the early 1900s, Mexican indigenous pioneers escaping the Mexican Revolution settled in the east barrio, known as “tierra de nadie.”
Martin and Janis Weinberger were only married two years when they decided in 1955 to purchase a small community newspaper called the Claremont Courier. And it didn’t take long for Claremonters to figure out the Courier — and Claremont — were going to change dramatically in every sense of the word. Find out the real impact to Claremont and other communities without responsible local news to inform.
Three weeks ago the White House released The U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism. This national approach is the first of its kind here in the US and includes more than 100 action steps, touches on all aspects of society, and involves all governmental agencies. With this as a backdrop I feel it is important to share what the Jewish Federation of the Greater San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys has been doing locally to combat antisemitism.
If Willie Nelson’s iconic guitar, “Trigger,” had an automotive counterpart, my 2001 Toyota Sienna van might very well qualify.
“I don’t know what the answer is, but it would seem we know what it is not: ostracization, humiliation, exclusion, denial of care, and laws based more on fear and hate than informed by scientific facts. As the high suicide rate would indicate, this is a much bigger problem than the rare case of a trans female in sports.”
I met my father when I was 28. More accurately, I remember meeting him at that age, as he had split when I was a year old, never to return.
Jamboree doesn’t just build housing. Our resident services team ensures that every resident at each of our properties has the tools they need to thrive. At Larkin Place, each resident will have access to trained staff that provide support and resources. This includes case management, individual or group therapy, peer support groups, recovery services, benefits counseling, life skills training, and community-building activities.
“To treat the evil of racial prejudice takes individual courage and resolve. But how can we treat its root societal causes and not just its symptoms? To heal this scourge of the human spirit requires individual and collective learning. We must make conscious, consistent efforts to seek truth and to vigorously practice justice.”
A year ago I wrote about my upcoming nuptials in a column called “Love and marriage: not just for kids anymore.” On the recent occasion of our first anniversary, I revisited that unabashedly lovestruck shout out to later-life romantics, and realized I was naïve: my first year married to Lisa has been much, much more joyous and surprising than I anticipated.
“I hate high school.” We were driving into the parking lot of Claremont High School. What I really meant was that I hate the speed bumps in the high school’s parking lot, remembering the quote I once read in a senior wills — senior wills! How high school! — edition of the Wolfpacket: “College is high school without the speed bumps.”
I thought when I turned 65 my healthcare options would be more plentiful, with insurance rates costing far less. Now I was going on Medicare and only had supplemental coverage to worry about. Based on my parents’ experiences, I wouldn’t have to worry about coverage. I mean, everyone takes Medicare, right? So I was ready to make the jump. Unfortunately, reality hit pretty quickly.
She assured me Cindy was fine, and that she had called to ask me if she wanted to say yes to the lady at the agency who just called her wondering if we wanted a baby that had been born 10 days before. We were the second family she had called. The first had quickly declined when they found out she had a skin condition. Then I started crying. Of course. Of course we wanted that baby.
In both his letters, Mr. Ring repeats his standing army theme, but he employs backwards logic. He describes how our Constitution provides for no standing army, but rather a militia. Yet now that we have a standing army — and supposedly no militia — he wishes to declare the Second Amendment (herein after 2A) “null and void.” So, if I understand Mr. Ring’s rationale, because we have violated the Constitution once by creating a standing army, we should violate it a second time by nullifying our 2A.
My wife Tracy and I didn’t know it yet, but on May 26, 2015 a little baby was struggling to be born.
It’s ludicrous to suggest the Courier could be looked upon as a contemporary of the Sacramento Bee or San Francisco Chronicle; we’re apples and oranges. But for this year — just like we were in 2020 and 2021 — we are at the table. And that’s not nothing.
