Dr. Evaggelos Vallianatos, one of Claremont's many authors and resident authority on broad spectrum of topics, including zoology and the history of science, has worked on Capitol Hill and at the US Environmental Protection Agency for almost three decades. Dr. Vallianatos took a break from his research and writing to give Claremont Speaks some insight into how the EPA started and what the early days were like, and the corruption and duplicitous research that has happened since, including how President Biden might best make the most on his pledge to rebuild and restore the EPA to being honest, transparent and effective - in short, fulfilling its original purpose.In this episode, Dr. Vallianatos focuses on the over-use of pesticides and the deleterious effects that multi-billion dollar corporations' "EPA-Approved" neurotoxins have on bees and other animals, and human children and adults. As a counter measure, he highlights the many advantages of consuming exclusively Certified Organic food,, including recommendations for the CUSD to help our students be as healthy and able to learn as possible.A returning guest on Claremont Speaks, Dr. Vallianatos never fails to bring new perspectives and valuable insights on his topics, relating what one might think are only national/federal issues back to Claremont, his home of many years.

Two campuses within Clovis Unified School District (CUSD) were without working air conditioning Wednesday, a day after it went out. According to CUSD, both Reyburn Intermediate and Clovis East High were impacted by the air conditioning outage. A spokesperson for CUSD said teams are currently working to fix the issue. Montana became the first state in the U.S. to enact a complete ban on TikTok on Wednesday when Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte signed a measure that's more sweeping than any other state's attempts to curtail the social media app, which is owned by a Chinese tech company. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) endorsed Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) for California's Senate race in 2024, but behind the scenes, the powerful Democrat appears to be working to ensure he is the Golden State's next senator. Pelosi's oldest daughter, Nancy Corinne Prowda, is helping Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) recover from her battle with shingles and keep up with her Senate duties, per Politico. While the senior senator from California remains in office, the three representatives jockeying to take her seat next are staying confined to the campaign trail — a factor that aids Pelosi's favored pick.

There is a direct relationship between the value of living in Claremont and the quality of Claremont's schools. In an effort to maintain and strengthen that link, Alex McDonald MD is running for Claremont Unified School District (CUSD) in the Special Election for Trustee, District 4 to be held on July 25, 2023. Alex was able to take a short break from his busy schedule as a CUSD parent and his practice as a family and sports medicine specialist to answer some of the most pressing questions about his perspectives, plans and strategies should he be elected.In this very personal and forthright interview, Alex reveals that he, by personal experience, knows what it is like to be a patient with critical needs and a student with special educational requirements. As a physician, more than most, he sees the direct and collateral results and benefits of a good education , as well as the disadvantages and damage that poor education can cause. As a result, as CUSD's D4 Trustee, he can focus on solving the many crucial issues facing the students, faculty, administration and board. Alex openly and honestly takes on a variety of very direct questions about the toughest current topics, such as critical race theory, gender identification, gun control and shooter/lock-down drills, childhood obesity and diabetes due to today's diet and exercise habits, drugs in the schools, and the immediate, if not crisis-level need for increasing the physical, emotional and mental health of our students. As a physician who has made a career of healing others, he believes that his education, experience and his many successes bring an extra layer of unique qualifications that he can apply directly to improving the quality and effectiveness of the education which CUSD students receive. For anyone who has or, actually is, a student in the CUSD system, and especially if you are in District 4, this interview should be considered required listening before meeting him at a public meeting or Candidate Forum, and certainly before casting your vote.=================================For more information, visit Alex McDonald's CUSD campaign Website:https://www.mcdonald4cusd.com/ Email:mcdonald4cusdPlatform:https://www.mcdonald4cusd.com/dr-alexs-platformOn Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/McDonald4CUSDOn Twitterhttps://twitter.com/mcdonald4cusdOn Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/mcdonald4cusd/Feedback, questions, comments, constructive criticism are all welcomed and encouraged.Send to claremontspeaks@gmail.com with Feedback in the subject line, or go to the appropriate page on Claremont Speaks' website - https://www.claremontspeaks.comClaremont Speaks is a Paradise Road Media production.

In the middle of the current race for the Claremont Unified School District's Board Seat for Area 4, experienced classroom educator and sixteen year CUSD School Board veteran Steven Llanusa took some time to respond to today's tough, complicated questions facing the Board, the staff and the students. Given the importance of the issues at hand, Steven Llanusa took Claremont Speaks' challenge to eclipse the level of the popular group forums, Steven embraced the opportunity and took full advantage of this open and completely unrestricted platform to provide direct, cogent answers - straight from his decades of experience and his heart - on topics that parents, students, faculty and staff...and most of Claremont...would surely place at the pinnacle of importance. The value of his experience, empathy and abilities is evident as he discusses school funding, critical race theory being taught (or not) in the schools, banning of books in the library vs. required reading, the value and harm of different levels of active shooter drills, mental health programs for the students and the impact/value of the School Resource Officers on the students as a few examples.If you care about Claremont's schools, this is the "must-listen" episode of this year's CUSD Board election. After listening and gaining a better understanding of this candidate, vote from a more informed vantage point. But DO vote, please.

Claremont's Wendy Ramallo thought she had found "it" several times over - California's sun, law school, working at Los Angeles high-profile law firms, Washington DC, the Robert Kennedy Memorial, working with Father Greg Boyle (founder of Home Boy Industries) among other key positions. These all had both financial and spiritual rewards. However, she knew there was something...more. Her innate passion for doing something for someone else, combined with her skills as a lawyer and experience working on gun violence issues was catalyzed by the Uvalde, Texas shooting incident. She almost involuntarily reached out to Moms Demand Action to assist, knowing she had to do...something. Wendy founded the Pomona Valley group as a way of exponentially increasing the local difference she could make. Wendy was kind enough to press "pause" in her packed schedule one cool, quiet morning and join Claremont Speaks at Studio des Arbres d'Ombre. She recounts the life-journey that brought her to Claremont and then become the spark and driving force...or local coordinator...driving the PVMDA's efforts to reduce gun violence. CAUTION: Listening to Wendy's inspiring, motivational episode may cause an uncontrollable urge to get involved and help however you can. Side effects may include a penchant for eliminating accidental/suicidal gun deaths and a partiality for voting for true "gun sense" CUSD and City Council candidates.Contact Wendy: WendyRamallo@gmail.com Moms Demand Action - website: https://momsdemandaction.org/- on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MomsDemandActionCA/Father Greg Boyle's books on Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/s?k=father+greg+boyle+books&crid=R5VAA228X40G&sprefix=Father+Greg+%2Caps%2C145&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_1_12
Clayton Becker has accomplished more than most in the years since graduating from Claremont High School, but to some, locally, he may be best known for his thoughtful, strong and data-backed responses and letters in the Claremont Courier. Recently, a column by Pomona College Professor Stephen Marks regarding water conservation prompted Clayton to submit his own insightful, circumspect and somewhat pointed response. Reading this, Claremont Speaks immediately invited Clayton to expand on his points to thoroughly explain and clarify his points, and really give Claremont, analogously, the rest of the story. Clayton provided his own fresh insights into Claremont's Housing/Water considerations, including recommendations for actions everyone can take, right now and in the future, to keep the water situation all of Southern California faces from unfavorably altering our city. Clayton delivers an educated, informative and yet entertaining interview - a "must-listen" for anyone living/owning in Claremont - now and for the foreseeable future, and is concerned with whether the limited water supply will affect the housing that's here now and yet to be built.Clayton Becker graduated from Claremont High School in 2016 and went straight to Columbia University in NYC, where he earned his Bachelor's Degrees in Economics and Political Science in Columbia's Dual BA program, both in NYC and France, Graduating Magna Cum Laude. He is now pursuing his PhD in Political Science at UCLA. For this podcast, however, Clayton can truly be considered "a student of Claremont." He grew up here and attended CUSD schools, met his fiancé here, and still calls Claremont home even while living in LA. At Columbia, his papers focused on and/or used Claremont as the study subject, focusing on the effects of districting and other topics. For those reasons and more, he should be regarded as one who truly understands Claremont, inarguably better than most.Clayton's Courier Letter (July 28, 2022)https://claremont-courier.com/opinion/opinion-water-zoning-and-the-suburban-ponzi-scheme-67106/ Clayton Becker's Linked-In page, detailing his wealth of education and breadth of experiencehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/clayton-becker-26238699/ Resources mentioned during the podcast:Arbitrary Lines: How Zoning Broke the American City and How to Fix Ithttps://www.amazon.com/Arbitrary-Lines-Zoning-Broke-American/dp/1642832545City Beautiful - YouTubeCity Beautiful is a YouTube channel dedicated to educating everyone about cities and city planning.

On the latest episode of the Carlsbad People, Purpose, and Impact Podcast, Carlsbad Unified School District teacher and CBAD award recipient, Beth Murphy, joins Bret Schanzenbach to talk about education, COVID, and future opportunities for students. It wasn't until she was almost done with college and had her own children that Beth realized she wanted to be a teacher. She taught kindergarten for almost 11 years, until she was asked to teach middle school science. Although teaching middle school often has a bad reputation, Beth says it's actually the best-kept secret in education and loves her middle schoolers! In Beth's classes, she and her students focus mainly on biology and geology, which is what she majored in at college. She not only teaches science, she also advises the GSA (Gender Student Alliance) Club, which promotes inclusion, as well as the Web Program which is a mentoring program where eighth-graders mentor incoming sixth graders during the school year. Whether she's encouraging students to be respectful of others' choices, creating environments where older students can mentor the younger ones, or promoting opportunities where they can join together as a student body, all of Beth's endeavors and focuses are about connection. In this episode, she and Bret talk about how she got into teaching, her primary focuses at CUSD, and the positive and negative ways COVID has affected students and education.
