The Ontario Reign hockey team and the city of Claremont are hosting a Claremont Night at 7 p.m. March 6.

The Ontario Reign will compete against the Las Vegas Wranglers at the Citizens Business Bank Arena, 4000 E. Ontario Center Parkway.

Ticket sale proceeds will go toward park improvements for Claremont's youth sports organizations.

Tickets can be purchased individually and are discounted for groups. Upper or lower level arena tickets range from $20 to $12 for adults and $15 to $10 for children.

To purchase tickets: Human Services Department 909-399-5490. The discounted tickets are NOT available at www.ticketmaster.com or the arena box office.

According to a news release, more than 3,700 youths use the parks and fields in organized sports groups and "by providing quality sports facilities, the city hopes to encourage the community's youth to engage in healthy behaviors. The benefits of youth sports are numerous and include a reduction in obesity, self esteem building, a sense of teamwork, and improved physical development."

Senator Bob Huff, R-Diamond Bar, introduced a bill to give a final authorization for the California Transportation Commission to give Foothill Boulevard to Claremont.

The bill, SB 993, was announced Tuesday in a news release from Huff's office. Foothill Boulevard is part of Route 66.

"The City of Claremont has been in negotiations with the State of California Department of Transportation for nearly a decade, relating to the relinquishment of Foothill Boulevard," according to the news release. "All agree that Foothill Boulevard is no longer appropriate as a state highway and that the transfer is beneficial to every party involved."

But without California's authorization the relinquishment and negotiations can't be completed. A transfer will reduce the state's operating and maintenance costs, according to the release.

"Relinquishment of this portion of Foothill Boulevard to the city will increase efficiency in road upkeep by granting local control," Huff said in the news release. "The City of Claremont and Caltrans have been in constant negotiations to complete this transfer; SB 993 will provide the final piece of the puzzle so they can move forward."

Senator Bob Huff is the Senate Republican Caucus Chair and Vice Chair of the Senate Transportation and Housing Committee. He represents parts of Los Angeles, Orange and San Bernardino counties.

Love Sacred and Profane III  by Helen Graziano

 

Words can be as passionate as touch--Pablo Neruda

 

I run out to meet Love

With open arms -I trace

Tatoos on rippling muscles.

 

By my bed, I unravel like yarn

Threads of our being--and words--

Undulate, tete a tete, luminous

I recall the pressure of hands--

I crave your lips, your mind, your laughter.

 

Love's alphabet -- ABC is lucid.

Aphrodite, Boudoirs and Bed-in's of the beats

C is the curve of my body turning away

Cupids, a carousel, a lock of hair

In a cachet. Love gets us

There.

 

(I strut on the runway of Joy,

Writing couplets in my thongs.

I dot my eyes and cross my tees

Use my ass-tericks sparingly--and

Dangle my participles, naughtily.)

 

Love is looking outward in the same direction.

Let's do a jig, dance hand in hand, resurrect the bed-ins for peace.

A breeze lifts the trees and underneath a dove

Appears in the moonlight.

 

Yes to three little words--"You come too!"

Reason has nothing to do with it.

 

*Graziano runs the writing group Scriblerus and is the author of "Woman On Paper," a book of poems. Her work has appeared in "Emerging Urban Poets Anthology," "Phantom Seed" and other publications.

The Claremont trolley was sold for $75,000 and shipped to Hawaii, city manager Jeff Parker said at the Tuesday city council meeting.

The trolley was drove was driven to the city of Long Beach and then a "little boat" took it, Parker said.

"So sometime if someone goes to Hawaii, they may see the Claremont trolley in operation over there some place," Parker said.

Parker did not say who the trolley was sold to.

One of our most significant stories of 2009 was the trolley:

"The Claremont Trolley's final bell rang on June 1. The City Council voted in May to terminate the trolley, which had struggled with ridership. Taking the trolley out of service saves the city $210,540 a year. The trolley was approved by the City Council in January 2008, and service started later that year."
