It comes in the form of photovoltaic paneling. Clare- mont’s US bank is going solar. Last month, the city approved the bank’s request to in- stall 200 solar panels on the roof and on the attached, shaded carport areas to the rear of the business, which are expected to generate 185 kilowatts of energy per day. That’s enough to power much of the bank’s solar needs on sunny days, according to bank spokesperson Nicole Garrison-Sprenger. Each solar panel is comprised of a series of reflective photovoltaic cells, which absorb the sun’s energy. The energy absorbed is then transmitted through a wire to an inverter box within the building, which converts that en- ergy to make it compatible with household appliances. Claremont’s branch is one of 4 southern California US Banks jumping on the solar bandwagon. In addition to Claremont, installations have begun in Downey, Los Alamitos and Rancho Cucamonga. The bank hopes to have 9 banks fitted with solar panels by the end of April COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff as part of its effort to cut back on energy costs.

f we want to shrink the gender gap in today’s media, life needs to intimate art, Isaid Academy Award-winning actor and women’s advocate Geena Davis at Gar- rison Theater last Thursday. It’s a cause Ms. Davis works tirelessly for as the founder of The Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media, as well as in her roles as chair of the California Commission on the Status of Women and special envoy for women and girls in the field of technology for the United Nations. Through her dedicated crusade, Ms. Davis hopes to change the way women are represented in the media, which she believes currently stands as stereotyped and underrepresented. The key lies in com- bating media with media, she says. “It’s often found in medicine that the cure can come from the same source as the disease, and I think that media itself can be the cure for the problem that it’s cre- ating,” she said. “We can create a different future by changing what people are seeing. I always say if they can see it, then they can be it.” Ms. Davis delivered her message to a standing room- only crowd, mostly women, as part of Scripps College’s Alexa Fullerton Hampton Endowed Speakers Program.

For all intents and pur- poses it has, because this cozy bastion of good coffee and delectable baked goods has a decidedly venerable history. When Larry and Sandy Feemster purchased the busi- ness in 1997, Some Crust had already been a Village staple since 1978. In fact, the Yale Avenue shop has been a bakery since 1916. Before that, it was a dry goods store founded in 1889. Those white-painted wooden shelves behind the counter, which are so fa- miliar to the bakery’s regulars, date back to the store’s turn-of-the-century opening. Upon assuming ownership, Mr. Feemster, who had served Claremont for almost 2 decades as the se- curity director for In-N-Out Mom Burger, felt a responsibility to uphold the shop’s longstand- &Pop ing reputation for quality. Ms. Feemster was already a skilled baker, who was making specialty items for Some Crust on a part-time basis when then owner Dorothy Demke approached her to see if she was interested in buying the business.

The Wolfpack struggled to put bat to ball, and their frustration reflected itself in a 5-0 loss to La Habra. Looking at early season results, it is appar- ent that Coach Hernandez has turned the team around following a mediocre 6-18 overall campaign for Claremont in 2012, “We have been solid in the last few games. I have few complaints about out defense, and once our hitting comes around we will be a solid team,” he said. Indeed, the Lady Wolfpack won their first 3 games of the season, and came into the game against the La Habra Highlanders with a 4-3 record. However, in the last 5 games the Pack have averaged just over 2 runs. The Highlanders, meanwhile, have had few prob- lems manufacturing runs. La Habra pos- sessed a 5-2 record coming into the Charter Oak Tournament. Claremont ran into trouble in the bottom of the first inning. With a runner on base, La COURIER photos/Steven Felschundneff Habra’s Racquel Manzo lined a base hit into Claremont High Schoolʼs Andrea Olmstead, right, throws to first base after fielding a bunt by La Habraʼs Racquel Monzo right field, and came all the way in to score during the Charter Oak Softball Tournament on Monday in West Covina.

I need to work with the girls more in the cages to get more aggressive at the plate.” La Habra did not add to the 2-0 lead until the fourth inning. Highlander first baseman Amanda Akles led off the fourth by cracking an outside pitch deep into center field for a double. With one out, La Habra shortstop Taylor Pierce brought Akles home with a RBI single. Moreno ended the inning when she chased down a shallow fly ball, making a nice running catch to her left.

GIRLS SOFTBALL continued from the previous page tigue. “Rosalie has great stuff, but we need to cut down on the 5 walks if we want to win more games. We also hit a couple of bat- ters today, and that allowed them to score those last runs,” Coach Hernandez noted. La Habra’s Ciocatto finished the game with an impressive 7 strikeouts, 3 of them by called third strike. Moreno had 2 hits for 3 at-bats, and outfielder Ashley Waller had Claremont’s third hit of the game. The Highlanders produced their 5 runs from 6 base hits and 2 Pack fielding errors. Coach Hernandez had a number of takeaways from the day. “We have a really young team, and so my job is to build a new program,” he said. “I have some ladies that have come back to play for me after taking a year away from softball, so I hope that speaks well for my philosophy of coaching. The girls are a positive group and all they want to do is improve their game.” Following this tournament, Claremont will have a long break before the next game as spring break is fast approaching.

Absolutely very professional. Smoothest transaction I have ever expe- “ rienced when comparing to any other large purchases I have ever made. Mason has really raised the bar for me to evaluate any other customer service in any field. He is very knowledgeable, has great rapport and was absolutely on top of [every step]. I had some very tight deadlines in purchasing my home and I feel very fortunate that I came across Mason as I consider him an integral part of why I was able to meet my purchase goals and deadlines. My parents are now considering moving into the area and of course, this is a no-brainer, they will call Mason when they are ready. —Andy P. ” To read more of what my clients are saying, please visit MasonProphet.com and click on "Testimonials," or find me on Yelp.com.
