Today's riddle: What do you call a one-legged Big Foot? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Pomona Valley Hospital to Offer $50 Mammograms in October (mynewsla.com) — Claremont residents can get a 3D mammogram for just $50 this October at Pomona Valley Health Center on Monte Vista Avenue, with no doctor's order or insurance required. The offer, also available at nearby Pomona, Chino Hills, and La Verne sites, targets women over 40 who meet simple eligibility rules and aims to boost early breast cancer detection.
• How the New CGE Building Advances Pomona's Sustainability Goals (pomona.edu) — Pomona College is building a highly efficient, LEED-targeted Center for Global Engagement that will cut energy and water use while helping sustain Claremont's local groundwater supplies. From rooftop solar and hybrid electric systems to drought-tolerant native landscaping and advanced stormwater dry wells, the project showcases how a major campus facility can support both student comfort and the broader Claremont environment.
• Chapman receives an average free speech ranking (thepanthernewspaper.org) — Claremont readers may be interested to know that nearby Claremont McKenna College again ranks near the top nationally for campus free-speech climate, even as Chapman University earns only an average score. The story compares policies, student comfort expressing views, and political balance at several Southern California campuses, highlighting how formal protections don't always translate into students feeling free to speak up.
