B2 S.G.V. EXAMINER Holy Name of Mary School to extend School Year SAN DIMAS - Holy Name of Mary School Board and Extended School Year Committee have announced that they will adopt an additional ten days to the school year calendar by 2013/14. An additional five days will be implemented into the 2012/13 calendar and the remaining five days will be added into the 2013/14 school year. This decision will yield a 190-day school year for Holy Name of Mary School students. Holy Name of Mary’s announcement comes nine months after the Archdiocese of Los Angeles revealed that the Catholic schools in the Diocese would be implementing a 200-day calendar. Holy Name of Mary School decided to further evaluate the situation and created an Extended School Year Committee to look into what would be the best thing for the School. In a letter dated, November 18, Holy Name of Mary School 623 W. Foothill Blvd. Glendora, California 91741 Phone (626) 852-3374 Fax (626) 852-1904 E-mail: sgexaminer@aol.com EUGENE F.

Rich Danyluk, ss.cc., explained the decision. Stating that the School attempts to be mission based and mission driven, they explained that their goal is to be a childcentered Catholic school, which partners with parents to meet the academic, emotional, and spiritual needs of each child. The letter stated that the decision was made with careful consideration to the elements of the Mission Statement, balancing educational excellence, nurturing each child’s individual needs, maintaining their Catholic identity, and partnering with the parents. The School Board and the Extended School Year Committee met with a professional consultant, Richard Burke while addressing this issue. Mr. Burke, President of Catholic School Management, is nationally recognized as an expert in consultative guidance for Catholic Schools and has worked with over 3,000 schools. With Mr. Burke’s guidance, a decision was reached that the best thing for Holy Name of Mary School students was to adopt 10 additional days over two years and then remain at a 190-day school year for five years, during which they can evaluate the effectiveness of the calendar, the teaching/learning process, and the student outcomes.

Faculty members will address all subject areas on a grade-by-grade basis to ensure appropriate sequencing of the curriculum. The decision to add additional days to the school year comes as the California state budget shortfalls threaten to eliminate school days in the public schools. With the possibility of California’s public schools moving to a 168-day school year, Holy Name of Mary School’s 190-day calendar provides an alternative, allowing for more time in the classroom. Holy Name of Mary School is a private Catholic school, serving over 320 students in grades Pre-K through 8. The School is grounded in Christian values and is accredited by the Western Catholic Educational Association and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. Holy Name of Mary School is located at 124 S. San Dimas Canyon Road, at the corner of Bonita Ave. and San Dimas Canyon Road in the city of San Dimas.

Before the sore throat, itchy eyes, runny nose and dry lips set in, take the time to stock up your medicine cabinet with the essentials needed to alleviate cold and flu symptoms through the upcoming season. "The cold and flu season brings on body aches, sore throats, chapped lips, headaches and fevers," says Dr. Charles Zugerman, clinical associate professor of dermatology at the Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chicago. "When suffering from these ailments, it is important to stay home and not risk spreading germs to others. Therefore, it is critical to make sure you have the necessary items on hand to combat your symptoms before the season starts to ensure a restful recovery." Here are a few medicine cabinet basics: * Sanitizer. Stave off germs by keeping disinfectant wipes and a hand sanitizer that contains 60 percent ethanol or isopropanol nearby. These will help to kill and prevent trans- mitting germs. * Nasal Decongestant. A stuffy nose is one of the most common and irritating symptoms of allergies, a cold and the flu. Decongestants relieve nasal congestion and shrink the tissues and blood vessels in the eyes and nose that swell in response to a cold or contact with an allergen. * Lip balm. Mouth breathing due to congestion and other side effects of a cold, allergies and the flu create severe dryness and irritation that leave lips susceptible to further infection. By relieving annoying symptoms like lip discomfort, cold and allergy sufferers feel better, which in turn helps them rest and get better. Dr. Zugerman's two personal lip balm picks: New Blistex Cold & Allergy Lip Soother and Medicated Lip Ointment. They won't cure sniffles or a cold, but both will help soothe and comfort lips that are feeling under the weather. Blistex Cold & Allergy Lip Soother is formulated with soothing ingredients and an advanced analgesic to bring lips relief and prevent further irritation. Blistex Medicated Lip Ointment is clinically proven to heal dry, chapped lips and has four medications to ease pain, itching and discomfort. For more information, visit www.Blistex.com.

Among the latest tech gadgets, cell phones and social media sites, today's teen is more connected than ever. Although teens are surrounded by a flurry of electronics and digital media, are they gaining the skills needed to succeed in a technology-driven world? According to the Department of Commerce, students educated in science, technology, engineering and math at any level make 26 percent more money overall than counterparts who have studied in other fields. Several non-profits and corporations have rallied together to highlight the importance of teaching young people critical digital literacy skills. "The access to technology kids get outside of school is often an important complement to the learning that happens in the classrooms," said Dan The San Gabriel Valley Examiner December 8 - 14, 2011 Are Teens Prepared for the Future? What do the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill, the Challenger space shuttle tragedy and the Chernobyl nuclear accident in Ukraine all have in common? The Australian National Sleep Research Project says sleep deprivation contributed to the human mistakes that led to each disaster. "Getting a good night's sleep is as important as feeding yourself or putting gas in the car. You absolutely cannot function without it. Start addressing the stress and anxiety in your life by first considering the quality of sleep you get," says Edward Grandi, executive director of the American Sleep Apnea Association (ASAA). New research is discovering that sleep deprivation has its tenacious claws embedded in 17 separate health conditions. Not getting enough sleep can unleash elevated hostility, lead to anxiety and depression, affect weight loss and obesity and increase chances of heart disease, type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. Avoid the woes of sleep deprivation and protect your longterm health by getting enough quality sleep with these tips from ASAA: Rauzi, senior director of technology programs at Boys & Girls Clubs of America. Boys & Girls Clubs has a long history of providing educational and developmental programs for youth in communities nationwide. Through a national partnership with Microsoft and Comcast, its Club Tech program provides free software and access to technology lessons to youth of all ages. In 2010 alone, the program reached over 850,000 kids who learned how to design posters, collaborate on film projects and make their own music. Daniel Flores, 16, has participated in Club Tech for two years at Boys & Girls Club of Greater Holland, Mich. He believes the skills he is acquiring in graphic design will help him get into an art college and pursue a career one day. In fact, he's started his own small business offering Web and graphic design services. "I wanted to create a business that helps other companies market and promote their ideas by developing websites, logos and print making," Flores said. According to a recent study, teens like Flores who participate in after-school technology programs exhibit a more positive outlook on their future. Many also become more positive about finishing high school and attending college. "Club Tech is more than just providing computers. We give kids and teens an opportunity to express themselves artistically and engage with technology in a way that builds confidence and real-world skills," added Rauzi. (NewsUSA) Shining New Light on Bulb Legislation Confused about changing light bulb technology and new regulations affecting the types of bulbs stores sell? The American Lighting Association (ALA) offers information to help simplify the process of selecting efficient, economical and effective light bulbs. Are certain types of light bulbs being banned? The word "ban" is incorrect. While it is true that the 100watt incandescent bulb will no longer be manufactured after January 2012, it is not a ban as much as it is a replacement. Products in every industry go through a similar process where something that is no longer efficient is replaced in the marketplace by a new model. "The legislation is meant to improve the efficiency of lighting," says Brian Brandes of light bulb manufacturer SATCO Products. "There is nothing in the law that stipu- lates that CFLs (compact fluorescent lights) are the mandatory replacement. The government is not telling consumers which type of bulb to buy." The new FTC Lighting Facts labels, which go into effect in January, will help educate consumers as to which lamp types are more efficient by showing the cost to operate per year based on a national average of 0.11 per kilowatt hour. What am I supposed to replace my 100-watt incandescent bulbs with after January? There are several options: * One option is the 72-watt halogen-incandescent that is available now. It produces slightly less light than a 100watt incandescent, but 72 watts is the standard that has been set by federal legislation for replacing the 100-watt models. It is also important to select a bulb with a "warm" color temperature, such as Bypass Sleep Deprivation: How to Enjoy Quality Sleep * Be wary of late-night eating habits. Going to bed overstuffed or hungry will cause your body to spend more energy on digestion and discomfort than sleep. Plus, alcohol, caffeine and nicotine can negatively affect the quality of your slumber. * Find a sleep schedule and stick to it. Sleep schedules help enforce your body's sleepwake cycle, which leads to better sleep. A consistent sleep schedule is even more important for anyone doing shift work -- hours that aren't nine to five -- because their inconsistent sleeping habits make them prone to shift work disorder (SWD). SWD is a circadian rhythm sleep disorder characterized by insomnia and excessive drowsiness. * Avoid using TV or electronics to fall asleep. New research indicates that TV or laptop use before bed interferes with sleep, especially if they are left on during the night. Any kind of artificial light, even alarm clocks, can disturb sleep and disrupt REM cycles. * Don't be afraid to talk to a doctor. Everyone has restless nights, but if it's the norm, there Kyle A. Cline 626-335-0815 Insurance Lic. #: OD16727 2,700K and 3,000K. * Another good choice, and the least-expensive option, would be a halogen or xenon hybrid that will just meet the efficiency requirements and minimum life ratings. These bulbs will look, light and dim just like the 100-watt versions they replace. * A halogen IR (infraredcoated) bulb will provide higher efficiency and three times longer life than a halogen-xenon bulb, but at approximately twice the price. * A 26-watt, medium-base CFL also offers the same amount of light as a 100-watt incandescent and uses onequarter of the electricity. It will also last 10 times longer. Still confused about the light bulb legislation and how to select the right bulb?

December 8 - 14, 2011 The Administration's second headline-grabbing scandal, one that produced lethal consequences, deals with selling guns that you know will end up in the hands of members of the Mexican drug cartels, with the intended purpose of leading authorities to cartel higher ups (by tracing the guns). The only problem with Obama's Fast and Furious operation (the name given to his version of the program) is the tracing operation was somewhere between inadequate to nonexistent. The program operates under the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). a branch of the Justice Department, and appears to be an update of a similar operation created under the Bush administration (which was entitled Operation Wide Receiver). While the left has Ken Eliasberg taken its typical approach - i.e. blame Bush - the Obama version of "gun walking" (a popular reference term for the operation) differed in material respects; with Wide Receiver, there was oversight of the "walked" guns, and Mexican authorities were informed of the operation (two elements, the existence of which, would seem fundamental to any such program). Fast and Furious ne- Another Look At The 99%Ers A few weeks back I filed a column describing what I had observed at the Los Angeles 99%ers demonstration. In the last paragraphs I opined that if this free-flowing movement did not jell into more definite political directions it just might die a slow gray death. Across the country many others, who have examined the demonstrations, have offered similar concerns. We, of a somewhat older generation, want to see greater clarity as to specific objectives leading to direct political action. That's the way we did it back in the anti-Viet- by Sheldon Richman “Why are liberals so desperately unhappy with the Obama presidency?” asks New York Magazine’s Jonathan Chait, a self-proclaimed “Obama apologist.” He answers his own question: “ Liberals are dissatisfied with Obama because liberals, on the whole, are incapable of feeling satisfied with a Democratic president.” See? It isn’t Obama’s fault. It’s something in the so-called liberal, or progressive, psyche. (“Liberalism” originally meant a philosophy of maximum individual freedom, free markets, and minimum government, not today’s support for intrusive, comprehensive bureaucratic management.) One wades through the 5,000-word essay hoping to witness Chait at least acknowledge that Obama has let his supporters down with his “war on terror” policies. But all we get is this: Obama … has enjoyed a string of foreignpolicy successes—expanding targeted strikes against Al Qaeda (including one that killed Osama bin Laden), ending the war in Iraq, and helping to orchestrate an apparently successful international campaign to rescue Libyan dissidents and then topple a brutal kleptocratic regime. Excuse me? Progressives — who properly savaged George W. Bush for his autocratic presidency, civil-liberties flouting PATRIOT Act, undeclared war on Iraq, use of detention and torture at Guantanamo and elsewhere, and warrantless surveillance — are supposed to be happy with Barack Obama, who has essentially carried on most Bush policies, even kicking them up a few notches? If we listen to Chait, there Charles H. Bayer nam war and Civil Rights days. With municipalities across the nation gradually moving the occupiers out of their campsites it may be time to rethink The San Gabriel Valley Examiner S.G.V. EXAMINER B3 Fast And Furious: Obama's Response- Slow And Uncooperative glected to incorporate either of these essentials (how could that be?). Fast and Furious received heightened attention when its rather apparent deficiencies resulted in the death of a border agent, Brian A. Terry - with a "walked" weapon. Perhaps the entire situation can best be summed up in Eric Holder's recent statement in connection with his testimony before a Congressional Committee looking into the matter, "[the operation] was flawed in its concept and flawed in its execution." Normally, that would not only sum matters up, but, more to the point, would be Holder's undoing, since it was his operation in both conception and execution. But Holder doesn't seem to see the obvious connection, dismissing the logical what these protests are all about. I have recently, however, come across an article by Robert Jensen, professor of Journalism at the University of Texas, who is one of the movement's key ideologues. In this submission Jansen responds to the concerns many of us have raised. His reaction to our demand for greater direction and clarity is summed up in one sentence, "We demand that you stop demanding a list of demands." His objection, which is probably on target, is that many of us want Obama's War Record Should Appall Progressives is nothing at all disappointing about Obama’s expansion of drone attacks in Pakistan and Somalia, with their routine “collateral damage” to innocents; his flagrant violation of the War Powers Resolution (not to mention the Constitution and his campaign promise) with his intervention in Libya; his intensification of the war in Afghanistan; his sanctions (an act of war) against Iran; his broken pledge to close Guantanamo; his support of indefinite detention without charge; his policy of assassinating even American citizens abroad without due process; his renewal of the PATRIOT Act; his placement of Marines in Australia with the words, “The United States is a Pacific power, and we are here to stay”; his failed attempt to lift the UN ban on cluster bombs; or his invocation of state secrets to keep torture victims out of court. Chait thinks Obama should get credit for “ending the war in Iraq” — but hold on. The December 31, 2011, withdrawal date is set in the Status of Forces Agreement negotiated between the Iraqi government and the Bush administration. Obama tried — but failed — to persuade Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to let U.S. troops stay longer. As it is, they will simply be moved down the road to Kuwait, and a large contract mercenary force will likely be left behind at the humongous embassy in Baghdad. For Chait and his ilk, these all must count as “foreign policy successes.” And what about torture? Nothing upset Progressives more during the Bush years. Toward the end of the administration, the criminal policy was abandoned and was for- sworn by Obama. Yet the detention center at Bagram airbase in Afghanistan has been called “worse than Guantanamo” by Daphne Eviatar, an attorney for Human Rights First. Adds John Glaser of Antiwar.com, There are now 3,000 detainees in Bagram, up from 1,700 since June (!) and five times the amount there when Barack Obama took office. Many of them have not been charged, have seen no evidence against them and do not have the right to be represented by a lawyer, aren’t given fair trials, and the U.S. claims it is not even obligated to explain why these people are caged. A U.S. special operations “black site” at Bagram features “sleep deprivation, holding detainees in cold cells, forced nudity, physical abuse, detaining individuals in isolation cells for longer than 30 days, and restricting the access of the International Committee of the Red Cross,” according to Jonathan Horowitz’s investigation for the Open Society Institute. Finally, in a move that bodes ill for the future, Obama refuses to criminally or civilly investigate Bush administration officials for illegal torture of prisoners. He won’t even empanel a “truth commission” to bring the facts before the American people. Future administrations will thus have little to fear when they break the law. Most progressives are silent about Obama’s shameful record. But it may explain the disappointment Chait can’t understand. Sheldon Richman is senior fellow at The Future of Freedom Foundation (www.fff.org) and editor of The Freeman magazine. consequence that would normally flow to one in charge of such an ill-conceived undertaking. As noted at Wikipedia, Holder dealt with his responsibility by merely observing that "his staff had not kept him informed about the program and [he] denied any personal wrongdoing.." Wait a minute, did I miss something here? - this program was "conceived" and "executed" on Holder's watch by an agency for which he serves as CEO, but he's not responsible for a monumental mishap which occurred as a result of the operation's faulty execution? Help me out here, if Holder is not responsible here, just when and under what circumstances is he responsible? We've come a long way from the good old Truman days when "the buck stops here" (at to "shoehorn the Occupy gatherings into conventional politics." To be honest I suppose that is exactly what I would like to see happen.Jensen suggests, however, that the real issues are not addressed by demanding some sort of political action. The problems in American society, he says, are far more generic. First you have to understand what is happening and only much later will you be ready to generate specific ways to address the underlying issues. He states that the problem is not the people in charge, but "failed systems." "If we could get rid of the current gang of thieves and thugs, but left the systems in place, we will find that the new boss is going to be the same as the old boss." While I'm not ready to give up on specific political action, particularly with an election less than a by Ralph Shaffer On election night three years ago, Mr. President, you spoke of a "planet in peril." Since then that peril has increased while your efforts to combat it have been marked by great vacillation. What is the reason for abandoning your position? Instead of leading this country and joining with enlightened leaders from around the world to fight this greatest war, you have chosen to ignore the overwhelming scientific evidence. Thus, we move from one climate change crisis to another at an alarming speed. Is another term in office so dear as to be purchased at the price of increased global warming and the countless miseries that will follow? Much of the world, and many Americans, believe your answer is yes. The international conference on global warming at Durban, South Africa, is about to close without a word from you. Nor has your envoy offered a constructive proposal for meaningful controls on greenhouse gas emissions. You have aggressively pursued war against foreign threats, but you have failed to effectively lead us or the world in a war on climate change, the worst natural disaster mankind has ever endured. Although we can have little effect on global warming caused by nature, we can control man's contribution to the civilization-threatening rise in temperature. While you vigorously fought those foreign wars, your halfhearted efforts on climate the desk of the guy in charge). In addition, Holder erred (how about lied?) in informing the Committee in his earlier appearance before them when he told them that he only heard about Fast and Furious within the past few weeks, when he read about it in the newspapers. He corrected his earlier testimony by saying he meant months, not weeks. Actually, if he read memos on the subject, prepared for his review by his subordinates, he would have heard about Fast and Furious over a year ago. And, if he didn't read them, whose fault is that? And, if he did read them and did nothing, whose fault is that? Finally, if he not only didn't read them, but was unaware of the operation's existence, whose fault is that? No matter how you look at the year away, clearly the critical problems lie at a deeper level than our ability to smooth out the government by pushing it a bit to the left-or resisting its dash to the right. Nor will anything be solved by changing the players on either political team. So what are the underlying issues that go far deeper than what can be fixed by electoral and legislative remedies? Jensen suggests that there are three: empire, economics and ecology. He concludes that the 99%ers and the occupiers are rightly focused on these system-based concerns over against an involvement in hard-core political action. That being the case, the rest of us may need to take careful note. Jensen may be on to something. Scattered over the next few weeks-taking time out for the situation, Fast and Furious was a disaster, one that can and should be laid at Holder's door. Holder's comment re program's being poorly conceived and poorly executed is poorly unresponsive - it was his program, and saying that he didn't get the memo is hardly an adequate - or even appropriate - response, given a dead border agent. How does the head of an agency get away with a serious failure - or any failure, for that matter - in his program's operation? This alone should be cause for Holder to step down. When you couple it with various other problems that have arisen in connection with his operation of the Justice Department, we have long since passed the point when Holder's resignation was called for. Holidays-I want to examine each of the three core issues he has raised, using as the basis of the columns what I hear from the 99ers. Even while I am doing this analysis, I am not about to give up on more direct issue oriented political action. As I continue to insist, when someone with cancer arrives at the emergency room with a spurting artery, you treat the cut and not the cancer. I think Jensen and the others are right about the cancer, but while we are working through both the pathology and the treatment, we had better be involved in stanching the flowing blood. And that means getting our hands, heads and checkbooks down and dirty during the upcoming political campaign. Contact Charles Bayer at candwbayer@verizon.net Our Planet Is Still In Peril, Mr. President change achieved little. Had you directed only a fraction of the eloquence, energy and money you devoted to those wars, the world would be on the road to countering, as much as we can, the effects of climate change. Instead, our "planet in peril" has been relegated to a minor concern in your administration. You have another war to fight, the war against rising sea levels, life threatening droughts, and the human misery that is compounded by each of these threats. In this war mankind can only do so much, for we only enhance the climate change that nature imposes on us. But to the extent that man's pollution of the atmosphere has caused increased temperature extremes that lead to severe, unexpected weather events, we want you to lead us in limiting our contribution to those dangers. It is past time to question whether those dangers even exist. The crisis is already upon us. While we rightfully worry that rising sea levels will eventually impact America's low-lying coastal cities, the entire population on the South Tarawa atolls already face the inevitable loss in the next few years of their entire homeland. Many other nations look to you for direction as they respond to global warming. You are the leader who can focus the attention of the world on the problem. That leadership has not been there. You have virtually abandoned climate change as a cause needing your foremost effort. In fact, your administration has delayed implementation of stricter rules governing greenhouse gases and has promoted a pipeline that imposes potentially devastating dangers to large sections of our country. Time is running out. If we are going to save this "planet in peril," it is time for you to speak directly to the American people. If ever a surge was needed to resolve a threat, it is a surge in the effort put forth by the American government to cope with climate change. You did not go to Durban, Mr. President. When will you lead? Ralph E. Shaffer is professor emeritus of history at Cal Poly Pomona. San Gabriel Valley Examiner WE PUBLISH ALL LEGAL NOTICES Call 626-852-3374 For A Price Quote
