Claremont Speaks

Sometimes the catalyst that drives an epiphany is almost accidental, yet can bring out the very best in people, and puts them on the course to what they are sure is their true purpose.   For Dr. Wen Chen, her awakening happened after a conversation with one of her colleagues regarding the events of Tiananmen Square, in 1989.  Until that conversation, she believed the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) line; that nothing much had happened, and the students and people were the ones who attacked the soldiers.  After seeing the videos, she realized all she had been told had been a lie,  investigated further and discovered the limitless deceit and corruption of the CCP.

She simply could not do nothing.  After learning the truth - experiencing a kind of "awakening" - Dr. Chen is now actively educating people about the real conditions and practices in today's China.  Claremont Speaks was fortunate to have Dr. Chen tell her story to this point, then discuss the state of the situation in China today and the CCP's goals for the future.   Anyone who believes communism is, somehow, the better system, owes it to themselves to listen to Dr. Chen's recounting of the unbridled evil - murder for profit - which is conducted daily by the CCP.   Conservative estimates are that upward of 80 million lives have been taken by harvesting organs, which are then provided to the CCP's elite or sold to wealthy transplant patients in China, the US and around the world.

Dr. Chen has much more to tell, and Claremont Speaks would like to have her back.  She asked that listeners suggest what they would like to know about the real China, which will be the topic for her next visit.  Please contact us at [email protected] or email Dr. Chen at [email protected]

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.

Political activist/Grass Roots advocate Mike Netter joins Claremont Speaks to discuss key topics, including the recall efforts of Governor Gavin Newsom and District Attorney George Gascón.  Energetic, informed and interesting, his passion is to create a better political landscape for California and the "ordinary" people in it.  Mike is one of the driving forces behind the recent recall efforts of Gavin Newsome and George Gascon.  Mike, along with others, decided to launch a recall of Gavin Newsom when they noticed California was going downhill.

In this ultra-candid and honest conversation, Mike unreservedly emphasizes the importance of ordinary people using common sense and the low-cost/free data and other tools at hand to take action in order to make a difference.  He covers many of the issues California is facing, such as a lack of water, a poorly protected power grid system, crime, and homelessness; and stresses the importance of people taking action on these issues in order to continuously improve California - and particularly Claremont - and get us off the slippery slope on which we find ourselves.

Mike is the Vice Chair of Rebuild California, a non-partisan grassroots, groundswell movement. Their mission is to take action where government officials have failed the voters and citizens.  The goal is to stop looking to our government for solutions to the problems we all face and take constructive corrective action and rebuild California.  After listening to this episode, take Mike up on his invitation to explore Rebuild Californa and learn what you can do to effect the changes you want to see.

Three members of the activist group Claremont Streets for People - Ross Pringle, Buff Brown, and Nic Lucio - took the opportunity to introduce themselves and the Streets for People group, then explain their strategy to reach their goal of making the city and its streets safer and more enjoyable.  As strong advocates for bike and pedestrian safety, they put forth how residents have a proven pent-up demand for cycling in Claremont, and that safer streets would help  achieve that, along with a multitude of collateral upsides, including the benefits of exercise, lowering congestion, reducing transportation and living costs, and increasing the amount of economic activity in the city.  

As long-time cyclists and Claremont residents, they are stakeholders - as are most residents and visitors to the city  - in increasing bike ridership, much as has been done in Culver City, for example,  The progress and improvements are directly attributable to many factors, including smart, focused leadership and bike-conscious street and thoroughfare engineering.   Streets for People hopes to help change Claremont by breaking California's long-time focus on moving cars at the expense of cyclists and pedestrians.  

The group invites everyone to join them, in any capacity, to help elevate Claremont to becoming and inspiration and aspirational standard in this regard.  There is conclusive and convincing evidence that this can be done, and is well worth the efforts.  Visit their website, attend  their monthly meetings and find out how you can be a part of one of the most essential  and beneficial changes Claremont can make.

Nutritious, healthy plants surround us--in our neighborhoods, where we work, and where we call home.  For Claremont's Earth Day Celebration on April 23, expert forager Douglas Kent is leading a foraging tour of Claremont, hosted by Sustainable Claremont as part of its continuing effort to make Claremont a more sustainable community.   

Doug started eating weeds in 1979 and has never looked back.  Since 2008, he has been teaching the techniques of foraging and wildcrafting at Cal Poly Pomona.   In this episode - somewhat of a preview to the workshop - Doug highlights several plants - weeds to some - that grow just about everywhere, and are seldom recognized as the healthy foods they really are.   Plants people walk past every day, and usually try to destroy or prevent, are actually better for eating than much of what is found in the produce section of your grocery store.   In Doug's workshop/tour, he will showcase ways to protect yourself, the most common foraged foods, and delicious treats that are often missed in the San Gabriel Valley.   

Along with six other books, he is the author of “Foraging Southern California: 118 Nutritious, Tasty Edibles to Harvest in Bulk,”   Doug is one of the nation's leading authorities on this topic, and received both his masters degrees from Cal Poly Pomona; one in Regenerative Studies and the other in Landscape Architecture.   He is the principal of Douglas Kent & Associates in Orange, and is an adjunct professor at the John Lyle Center for Regenerative Studies at Cal Poly Pomona.
