Barbara Jo Kirshbaum, 71 of Upland, walked in her one hundredth long distance breast cancer walk last week - a goal she set for herself 11 years ago.
Kirshbaum has been participating in breast cancer walks since she was 60 years old as a way to challenge her body while at the same time showing support for the cause.
She set a goal to raise $1 million in donations and to participate in 100 walks. She reached her donation goal over the summer. An amount that has increased to $1.026 million.
Her one hundredth walk was at the Breast Cancer 3 Day benefiting Susan G. Komen For The Cure. The 60 mile walk began November 21 and ended November 23.

A press release from Uyen Mai at Cal Poly Pomona:
Cal Poly Pomona Fire Ecology Expert Hopes
for More Education on Nature of Wildfires, Fire Prevention
POMONA, Calif. - November 19, 2008 - "Chaparral always burns," says
Cal Poly Pomona professor Ronald Quinn, referring to the dry brush native
to Southern California. "The more people understand the nature of these
wildfires and what we can do to prevent them and be safer, the better
off we'll all be."
As the world watched the recent wildfires in awe, Quinn saw the blazes
through a more critical lens as a fire ecology expert. When the flames
die and the smoke clears, Quinn hopes more people take preventative
measures to protect themselves against wildfires.
"Fires start all the time, but they seldom turn into the kind of
holocaust we have seen," he says. "It's a result of two things: dry
vegetation and strong, dry winds. You can't stop chaparral fires from
happening, but you can reduce the risk of your home catching fire."
Wildfires are a natural part of this region's ecosystem, says Quinn.
It's essential for people who choose to live close to nature to be
fully informed about the inherent fire risk to a home when it is near highly
flammable chaparral.
Homeowners should carefully consider items they put near their home,
he warns. Things like wooden decks, fire wood, wood sheds and fuel tanks
could easily be ignited by flying embers. Landscape choices also
should serve as a barrier to fires rather than as fuel. A popular example is
the use of succulent plants (like cacti, aloes, and yuccas), which are
low maintenance as well as fire and drought resistant.
One of the easiest tips is also free: Be prepared with an evacuation
plan.
"You don't have time to waste when the police bullhorn is blaring and
you have 10 minutes to get out," Quinn says. "Think in advance what
you would do and what you would need."
More information also is available in the 2006 book, "Introduction to
California Chaparral," by Ronald D. Quinn and Sterling C. Keeley,
University of California Press.
FIRE PREVENTION TIPS
* Understand that wildfires are a natural part of the ecosystem and a risk of fire will always exist.
* Consider fire prevention when landscaping your home.
* Think carefully about items you put near your home that may be flammable, like wooden decks and fuel tanks.
* Be prepared with an evacuation plan.

UPLAND - Two of the three recently fired Upland Christian Schools administrators have been allowed to return.
Charles Chiappone, dean of technology, and Doug Porterfield, the girls' volleyball coach and dean of visual and performing arts, are back at work, according to a letter sent to parents Tuesday by interim Superintendent Paul A. Kienel.
"We are following Dr. Kienel's advice and recommendations as we review the management of Upland Christian Schools and the future direction of the school," said James B. Stewart, corporate secretary of the Anaheim District of the Church of the Nazarene.
Chiappone, along with his wife, Susan, a school administrator, and Porterfield were fired during school Nov. 12.
"Mr. Porterfield is a man of integrity, and to have him back is welcome news," said Steven Wagner, who has a daughter on the volleyball team. "His termination was wrong, and the girls have shown their support for him in the most effective way they could - by winning matches."
Kienel was hired last week by the Anaheim District Church of the Nazarene to be the interim superintendent for Upland Christian Schools during its integration with Western Christian Schools.
Upland Christian Schools was run by the Upland First Church
of the Nazarene, but it has been under the supervision of the Anaheim
District Church of the Nazarene since late September, when district
Superintendent Ray Doane declared the Upland First Church a "church in crisis" due to financial troubles.

Valencia Elementary school is the winner of Upland Unified School District's annual Red Ribbon Week, which was from October 20 to October 24.
During Red Ribbon Week schools are encouraged to promote an anti-drug message. The schools' message was developed by PTA member Corlan Harrison, which was entitled "Better Things To Do Than Drugs."
Each classroom decorated a two by five-foot red ribbon with messages against doing drugs that were hung around the fences outside the front of the school.
Students wrote down what they would rather do than drugs on paper hands that were "planted" in the school's front lawn.
The school received a plaque to be hung in the office until next year's competition.

The following is a letter sent to the parents from the Anaheim District Church of the Nazarene in regards to the events that occurred at Upland Christian Schools yesterday.
Dear Parents, Faculty and Staff:
On behalf of the Anaheim District Church of the Nazarene, I want to update you on management changes that are being implemented this week.
The Anaheim District Church of the Nazarene has retained Dr. Paul A. Kienel, an internationally known expert in the management and operation of Christian schools, to oversee the integration of Upland Christian Schools with Western Christian Schools.
Dr. Kienel is the founder and president emeritus of the Association of Christian Schools International, the largest association of Christian schools in the world, serving 5,000 schools and colleges with a combined enrollment of 1.3 million students. He is widely respected in the Christian school community, both here and overseas, and will provide us with exceptional counsel and direction as we continue to strengthen our educational programs.
Dr. Kienel will serve as interim superintendent of Upland Christian Schools, replacing Susan Chiappone, who will not be returning along with Charles Chiappone and Doug Porterfield as we implement changes in Uplands management team.
We want to increase our parent communications, and we will be having more upcoming department meetings in the near future. Please watch for upcoming announcements.
Dr. Kienel will also consult to the Anaheim District Church of the Nazarene to ensure that maximum efficiencies and educational standards are achieved as Upland and Western integrate their K-12 school operations. In addition, Dr. Kienel will provide us with strategic guidance that will help us map our future for many years to come.
His term commences this week and will run for approximately six to 12 months, depending on the pace of integration and the extent to which his counsel is required.
Please understand that the best interests of our students, parents, faculty and staff continue to hold paramount consideration in our hearts and prayers as we continue moving forward with this process. Let us work together to ensure that our students continue to receive a quality Christian education.
If you have any specific questions regarding your childs education, please feel free to schedule a personal appointment with Dr. Kienels assistant by calling the school at 909-920-5858.
Very truly yours,
James B. Stewart

Last night's city council meeting was the third consecutive appearance of concerned Upland resident, Hal Tanner.
Tanner has addressed the council and Mayor on multiple issues including the rights of Upland
citizens, City Manager Robb Quincey's compensation and benefits and the "misuse of Police Department services."
Tanner entitled Monday night's speech "Secrets of the City Council," and said City Attorney William Curley III was paid $5,000 to shield the council and Quincey's misuse of police department services and compensation.
He also said "the city council has repeatedly refused to publish misuse of police services or
compensation," adding that the council's "censorship of public information is contrary to the
citizens' constitutional rights guaranteed by proposition 59 and included in the California State
Constitution."
After Tanner's allotted three minutes was over, Councilman Kenneth Willis addressed Tanner's comments.
He went through a list of compensation paid to city managers in cities surrounding Upland - all of which were higher or almost equal to the amount paid to Quincey.
"I would hope we would have the best city manager we could afford," Willis said. "He's done a fantastic job for us."
Willis said Quincey has helped in the expansion of flood control, groundwater recharge and the stabilization of public service. He has also been in the middle of the recent building projects going on within the city.
"The city manager helped us retain highly talented personnel and I could go on and on," he said. "I do not understand this vendetta, that is the only word I can think of for it. Mr. Quincey has not done anyone any harm. He has not spoken rudely. He has been very gentlemanly and gracious about it. There is not a mean bone in his body."
After Willis' comments, Tanner spoke from the audience saying Willis spoke for more than three minutes and did not give Tanner a form informing him that Willis was going to speak - which is the formal method required by citizens who wish speak to the council during meetings.

A man named Osvaldo Diaz voiced his concerns to the Mayor and City Council during last night's city council meeting. He was prepared with visual aids - a marijuana plant in an ICEE cup.
Diaz explained to the council that he had no choice but to grow the marijuana for medicinal purposes because he could not get the help he needed through various state agencies.
He introduced the Upland Marijuana Project - the UMP and said if we adopted the ways of Amsterdam it would take away the "forbidden fruit" factor and there would not be a fear of the DEA or "over zealous law enforcement."
Diaz ended his speech with a quote from a song written by musician Tom Petty.
Captain Jeff Mendenhall of the Upland Police Department had a front row seat and walked Diaz out of the building.
Mendenhall said Diaz claimed to have a medical marijuana card and the police department would look into the validity of the card.
Today Srgt. Cliff Mathews of the Upland Police Department said "it was legal and for medicinal purposes."

The following is a letter from Superintendent Ray Doane and the Anaheim District Advisory Board regarding the status of the Upland First Church of the Nazarene.
TO: Members of the Upland First Church of the Nazarene
FROM: Anaheim District Advisory Board and Dr. Ray Doane, District Superintendent
DATE: November 1, 2008
Thank you for your patience and prayers as we have been diligently working through
many delicate details of the coming transitions for Upland First Church of the Nazarene
and Upland Christian Schools. Our sole desire has been and continues to be to help
position both entities to be able to fulfill in the most effective way the task God has
placed before them. We have truly been seeking to follow God's voice and direction.
We need to share some important information with you regarding the fact that Upland
First Church of the Nazarene has been technically disorganized. There is no need for you
to be concerned. This is simply a necessary legal issue that will not affect the normal
functioning of this congregation. This action will have no practical effect on the daily
and weekly operation of the church. The church will remain open and will rebuild. This
action was legally needed in order to give the church a fresh start, to provide an
opportunity to rebuild, and to allow your church to become financially healthy and
strong.
The Church of the Nazarene of Upland, California, is being positioned to flourish and to
be free from its former daunting indebtedness of over 7.5 million dollars. When all is
said and done, the local church will receive the proceeds of the transaction. This will
provide adequate finances to continue and to relocate eventually if the congregation so
desires. The local church will have a voice and leadership about when, where, and how
this will be done. Until that time, the church will have indefinite use of its present
facility with five years at no cost to the congregation for rent.
Here are some facts that we hope will answer some of your questions:
* Members who were active and involved upon declaration of the "church in crisis"
will remain as active members of the Church of the Nazarene of Upland, California.
* Local tithes and offerings will be handled in the same manner as they have been in
the past with oversight given by the Anaheim District Advisory Board.
* Rev. James Eldon Kratz will continue as senior pastor.
* As soon as feasibly possible, the church will be reorganized with an active church
board.
* District, Educational and General Budgets will be calculated based on regular tithes
and offerings of the congregation. Budgets will not be applied based on the proceeds
from this transaction.
* The Anaheim District Advisory Board will give complete oversight to the on-going
business of the congregation until a new Church Board is in place.
We are anticipating seeing how the Lord is going to bring successful days for Christian
Education in the Inland Empire and also for the ongoing ministry of the Church of the
Nazarene in Upland, California.
The crisis that has arisen is so unfortunate. Our desire from the beginning of this
negotiation was to assure the economic security of both our investment in Christian
education and the ministry of this local church. As both entities now proceed
independently, we trust that the church and the school will be more effective in pursuing
their individual purposes for building God's kingdom for His honor and glory.
"According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a
foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds
upon it." I Corinthians 3:10
May God bless you as we pray for you and you for us.
To Him be all Glory and Praise forever!

Mayor John Pomierski has been victorious for the third time. Elected Upland Mayor in 2000, Pomierski was re-elected in 2004 and now again in Tuesday's election.
"We're very happy that the people of Upland realize and appreciate the growth and the business and the improvements to the city of Upland that have taken place over the last eight years and with this resounding win, bigger than the last time, it speaks volumes," he said.
"I know a lot of people worked long and hard to get the word out and that's what it's all about. We ran a very clean campaign. I look forward to getting back to business and now that the election cycle is over we continue to improve Upland any way we can."
Councilman Willis was also re-elected for his third term on the city council. Willis was first elected in 2000, along with the Mayor, and will continue to make sure Upland has a balanced budget and succeeds in the general plan for the city.
"There's a lot of things that come up from time to time and certainly over the long term (the goal) is to keep and eye on our finances and to maintain a balanced budget," he said. "We need to be as careful as possible especially at this time. We do have certain monies that are available for working on water improvements, and we'll be doing that, certain monies available to set up the plan for the town center as well as develop a financial vehicle to help realize our dreams in the future for rebuilding that area."
This election also included a race for city treasurer. Dan Morgan, who did not have a seat on any Upland committees, was elected treasurer over opponent Gary Schwary.
"I'm absolutely thrilled and excited. It's just a great opportunity to serve the community -
that's all you can ask for isn't it?" he said. "And that's the way I will proceed forward - to do my best to serve the community and it's citizens."
"When you think about the presidential election and then just the statewide election and such it's just a real thrilll to be a part of it and to be victorious and be able to now move forward in this new capacity. I'm vey excited."
