Gold Line noise abatement
Dear Editor:
We were pleased to read Jim Keiths
Viewpoint about the Gold Line and its
passage through Claremont. He offers
careful analysis and a clear presentation
of some problems with the current
study as well as the reality of traffic
stoppage times for trains passing Indian
Hill, all of which is helpful in understanding why a very expensive and potentially intrusive bridge is being
contemplated for the intersection.
Furthermore, we are concerned that
such a bi-level structure could be construed as a barrier dividing north and
south Claremont, which would be detrimental to our community.
Beyond these issues, and also relevant
to the quality of life in Claremont, we believe there are serious problems of noise
abatement that need to be addressed.
Here we refer to the warning horns on
both passenger and freight trains, all
passing close to residences, whose sound
seems excessive both in volume and fre-
quency. The worst audio-offenders may

actually be the freight trains that go
through during the evening, but all make
up an unhealthy aspect of a Claremonters day from about 4 a.m. through late
in the evening.
We understand it is possible to establish a quiet zone for the Metrolink and
freight trains, using a system of improvements to eliminate or greatly reduces the
need for train engineers to sound their
warning horns. This type of train-crossing modification has already been implemented in Riverside. In California there
are 43 quiet zones, with 650 throughout
the United States.
Our beautiful town is heavily committed to solving environmental issues, but
still has a very significant noise pollution
problem as well as the challenge of accommodating the Gold Line extension. It
is appropriate to address these in a coordinated plan.

Expert panel advises group on senior-focused scams
hen Jane Krieder

asked the crowd at
the Joslyn Center
why seniors are top targets for
scammers, she received a multitude of answers.
One person said they come from a
nicer generation, while another claimed
scammers assume they are wealthy.
One bemoaned that scammers think
seniors have a lack of mental capacity
and are easy targets.
All legitimate reasons why seniors
become scamming victims, Ms.
Krieder said.
The Senior Scam Stopper breakfast
on March 23 was headed by Ms.
Krieder, of the Contractors State License Board, as well as Jackie WileySistrunk of the Department of Business
Oversight, Stacia Crane of the United
States Postal Inspection Service and
Linda Chavez of the Senior Medicare
Patrol. The chat was brought to the center in conjunction with Assemblyman
Chris Holden and State Senator Carol
Liu.
The panel was there to inform the
mostly senior crowd about the dangers
of scam artists, from shoddy contractors to sketchy websites and telemarketers.
What were here to do today is to
scare you, Ms. Crane said. Now is
the time to be afraid.
Ms. Krieder spoke to the crowd
about the danger of unverified contractors, especially those who are hired to
do work on a persons home. She said
to shop around for the best price, ask
the contractor about a specific time
frame for the job and always ask for a
license and make sure it checks out
with the state licensing board.
She told a story about a 92-year-old
woman who gave a contractor the keys
to her house. He moved in and refused
to leave. Were trying to get him out
right now, Ms. Krieder said.
Contractors can be charming in an
effort to get what they want, and some
widows and widowers fall prey to un-

Locals gather at the Joslyn Center for the Senior Scam Stopper breakfast hosted
by the city. The presentation offered tips on how to avoid falling victim to financial
fraud and identity theft, among other con tactics.
scrupulous contractors wiles, according to Ms. Krieder.

Some of them are really cute, but
dont fall in love, she joked as the audience laughed.
Ms. Chavez was next to talk about
Medicare fraud. She is part of the Senior Medicare Patrola group of 10 volunteers who go into the community to
educate seniors about Medicare fraud.
She told stories about medical professionals who milk the system to get
more Medicare money, including an
oncologist who diagnosed people with
cancer who were cancer-free and a doctor who diagnosed 240 healthy people
with a degenerative spine disease, just
for the extra cash.
He felt like he deserved more
money, Ms. Chavez said of the second
doctor.
Ms. Chavez warned the crowd about
double billing or overcharging, something that could happen to seniors who
are not checking their statements.
Take a few minutes, make sure what
youre being charged for happened at
that appointment, she said.
Ms. Crane, who represents the US
Postal Inspection Service, implored the
crowd to protect their mail and to not
leave it in the mailbox overnight, even

if their mailbox is locked and seemingly secure.
People want your identity, and they
can get it in lots of ways, Ms. Crane
said.
Checks can be easily forged, and it
usually takes the banks up to 90 days to
figure out if a check isnt legitimate.
Ms. Crane suggested using a gel ink
pen to prevent thieves from taking the
ink off checks.
Like Ms. Kreider mentioned before,
Ms. Crane said some scammers are initially nice to their victimseven sending them flowers. Scammers love
you, Ms. Crane said.
Fraudsters are willing to take everything from a person until there is nothing left, All because theres a scammer
out there who thinks they deserve the
money better than you do, Ms. Crane
said.
She told the crowd to reach out and
check up on a member of the community who might have fallen victim of a
scam. The victim may feel embarrassed
and distrustful, and may retreat into
their house and withdraw from the
community.
Ms. Wiley-Sistrunk, who works for
the Department of Business Oversight,

told the crowd they should do as much
homework as possible when researching a business, make sure theyre properly licensed and check if they have any
disciplinary actions against them.
She warned about fake webpages
that could take someones identity, imploring the crowd to look for https in
the URL line to make sure the page is
secure.
Dont be so quick to verify personal
information from someone claiming to
be from a bank or government agency,
Ms. Wiley-Sistrunk said, noting that the
IRS does not call households to ask for
sensitive info.
Pump your brakes and think for a
minute, Ms. Wiley-Sistrunk said.
She also spoke about a particularly
cruel kind of scam, informally dubbed
the grandma scam.
The scam works like this: a fraudster
calls an elderly person, claiming to be a
grandchild or another family member
who has fallen into a sticky situation,
such as getting arrested or being
stranded in a different country. They
beg the victim to wire money, sometimes in the thousands, through Western
Union or a similar wire transfer company. Once the money sent, its too late.
Claremont resident Rita Wodinsky
said the scam happened twice to her,
with both scammers claiming to be her
grandchildren either stuck in the Dominican Republic or involved in an accident while leaving a funeral.
Ms. Wodinsky was about to send the
money, but first called family members
to confirm, revealing the scam.
I almost fell for it, she said.
After the meeting, Senior Program
Supervisor Jason Lass praised the efforts of the panel in educating seniors
about the multitude of scams they can
encounter.
If we prevent one person from
being scammed, then its a success,
Mr. Lass said.

Payroll software hack impacts employees at Harvey Mudd
he payroll accounts for

more than 100 Harvey
Mudd College employees were accessed without authorization in early March,
according to a statement from
the college.
The breach was centered on the colleges UltiPro account, a contracted

payroll provider software made by Ultimate Software, according to Director of
Public Relations Judy Augsburger.
Based on our investigation to-date,
we believe that the UltiPro accounts
for107current and past employees of
Harvey Mudd College were accessed
without authorizationbetween March 3

and March 4, 2016, Ms. Augsburger
said in the statement.
We havenotifiedall Harvey Mudd
College employees, including those
whose data was not impacted, to inform them of the situation, to provide
additional details, and to offer credit
monitoring and protection servicesfree
of charge, Ms. Augsburger said. We
continue to work with all employees to
provide assistance and support.
When reached for comment on the
breach, Ms. Augsburger said in an
email that the college had nothing to
add beyond the statement provided.
At least one affected HMC employee
filed a report with the Claremont Police
Department alleging that a tax return
had been filed using their personal information, according to Lt. Mike
Ciszek.
The way that [the suspects] did it,
they were pretty sophisticated in covering their tracks, Lt. Ciszek said. So to
find it, its going to be tough.
Lt. Ciszek noted the suspects used
vanishing IP addresses and spoofed IP
addresses in order to access the account
without leaving any digital fingerprints.
The tax fraud incident is similar to a
previous incident last week, where the
IRS notified at least eight Pomona College employees that tax returns had
been previously filed in their name. In
some cases, the employees received the
notification when they were electronically filing their tax returns, according
to a March 21 email from Pomona College Vice President and Treasurer

Karen Sisson.
Both Ms. Augsburger and Ms. Sisson
said the breach at HMC was not related
to the incident at Pomona College.
Harvey Mudd College accesses UltiPro differently from the other Claremont Colleges, and we have no
evidence that employees from any of
the other Claremont Colleges were affectedby this incident, Ms. Augsburger said.
The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Claremont Police Department
at (909) 399-5411.

Studio teaches button-cute kids, grownup novices how to sew
laremont has a new business that

will leave you in stitches. Located
on Foothill Boulevardin the center thats home to longtime local establishments like The Ivy HouseSewciety Studio offers sewing and crafting lessons to
adults and kids alike.
The business is the brainchild of two friends with a
lot in common, beginning with their names. Yvonne
Cervantes Coleman and Yvonne Dill-Cruz each have
two kids attending Sycamore Elementary School. Both
women love to sew. And both have a background in
show business.
As of a month ago, they share something else: a studio that represents the culmination of a longtime dream.
People can come for a lesson in the basics of using a
sewing machine or serger. They can come for a threeor four-session sewing class. Or they can come in on a
Saturday morning and, in one session, complete a handmade, one-of-a kind project.
Tomorrow, Saturday, April 2, students of all ages will
be creating totebags. On April 9, the featured project is
a circle skirt. Guests can bring their own fabric or buy
fabric at the studio, which features a growing collection
of vintage-look cotton material by Cotton + Steel.
The women have also engaged experts in knitting and
quilting, allowing them to offer a full range of needlework instruction.
The Yvonnes are delighted to teach grownups how to
sew. They derive special enjoyment, however, from
transforming children into bona fide makers.
Theyve been teaching sewing to kids through
Sycamores afterschool program for a couple of years.
The instructors have had to lug sewing machines, fabric and all manner of notions to the classroom where
their sessions have been held. With the opening of Sewciety Studio, their young charges, from Sycamore or
anywhere else, can continue afterschool sewing lessons at a new venue.
On Wednesday, a group of four Sycamore girls were
engaged in the first session of a class in which theyll be
making a knit dress. One of the girls, Jordyn Batz, was
dressed for the occasion in a circle skirt she made earlier under the tutelage of the Yvonnes.
Like Jordyn, the women developed a knack for
clothes early on. I had a Vogue subscription when I was
about 10, Ms. Cervantes Coleman said.
She also had a love of film, which was cultivated by
her parents, who would take young Yvonne with them
to see foreign films at the Rialto in Pasadena. The two
fascinationssewing and performancemerged when
Ms. Cervantes Coleman reached high school and got involved with theater.
When she told her folks she wanted to pursue costume design, they were supportive but practical. My
dad said, Why dont you learn to thread a sewing machine first, Ms. Cervantes Coleman recalled.
She went to LA Trade Tech and took classes in patternmaking and fashion design, then got a job working in
costume design at the LA Theater Company. Luis Valdez
was putting on a production in one of the companys theaters. Ms. Cervantes Coleman heard that he was poised
to direct a biopic on Ritchie Valens, the teenaged rocker
who died in 1957 in the plane crash that also claimed the
lives of the Big Bopper and Buddy Holly.
Mr. Valens was an icon among Mexican-Americans
as well as among rock fans in general. Whats more, Ms.
Cervantes Colemans cousin had gone to school with
Ritchie. I remember telling my parents, Im going to
work on that movie, she said.
She approached Mr. Valdez and convinced him she had
the chops for the job. She ended up as costumer for the
film La Bamba. She pored through books highlighting
fashions worn by Mexican-Americans in the 50s, including her own family photo albums. She then pulled
costumes from the Warner Bros collection.

Sewciety Studio co-owners Yvonne Cervantes-Coleman, left, and Yvonne Dill-Cruz work with students, from
left, Mira Steinman, Elisina Treuer, Jordyn Batz and Leonarda Stranford during a beginning to intermediate
sewing class at the new Claremont business.
Ms. Cervantes Coleman forged a career in costuming,

working on films like Stand and Deliver (1988) and
Fried Green Tomatoes (1991) and for productions
like Linda Ronstadts Canciones de Mi Padre tour.
Ms. Cervantes Coleman eventually returned home to
Claremont, where her parents had settled 20 years earlier, and married her husband, Ron Coleman, in 2001.
A year later, they adopted two children, Harper and
Mateo, now 11 and 12, respectively.
Yvonne Dill-Cruz became interested in sewing because her moms vintage Singer sewing machine was
stationed in her childhood bedroom. Starting at age
nine, she would finish her homework and then get to the
sewing machine.
My mom had a huge barrel of fabric. She never limited what I could use, Ms. Dill-Cruz said. The good
stuff, the cheap stuff, it was all fair game.
Soon, she was outfitting her Barbies in 70s splendor
like culottes and ponchos. She honed her skills further
in junior high home economics, making, among other
creations, a pair of stirrup pants.
She moved away from sewing for a while, falling in
love with photography in high school and earning a
bachelors degree from Cal State Northridge, studying
radio, TV and film.
Ms. Dill-Cruz landed a job four months out of college
at a music video and film production company helmed
by Mark Pellington. At the time, Mr. Pellington, whos
gone on to be a director of films like Arlington Road,
was specializing in music videos for acts like De La Soul.
Ms. Dill-Cruz worked on the staff, learning the business side of things, and then was delighted to land
where she really wanted to be: on set. She then went on
to work as a freelance production manager, beginning
with a gig working for director David Fincher at Propaganda Films, now known as Anonymous Films.
Ms. Dill-Cruz spent 13 years moving up in the industry, working 16-hour days and basking in the glory
of all of it. Then, she got to an age where she realized
it was time to think about marriage and kids.
In 2000, she began dating Michael Dill, who had been
her first boss during a gig she had at Crossroads Films.
They were married in 2002 and plunged quickly into
family life, having two girls just over 14 months apart.
Carmel and Siena are now 12 and 10.
One of Michaels friends suggested they move to
Claremont, using the citys great schools as a selling

point. They took his advice and Ms. Dill-Cruz said they
love the town.
The childhood our kids are having is exactly what
we hoped for, she said.
Now a stay-at-home mom, Ms. Dill-Cruz took up
sewing again. She had salvaged her old doll beds from her
mothers garage and she started by making doll bedding. She moved onto doll clothes and then to making
clothes for the girls as well as for herself.
Ms. Cervantes Coleman and Ms. Dill-Cruz had met
years before at a parenting class and continued their
friendship as members of the Sycamore School community. It was Ms. Cervantes Coleman who created a sewing
circle for Sycamore moms, even drumming up a venue
near the Joslyn Center at Larkin Park.
With permission from the city, the moms would meet
there once a week after dropping off their kids at school.
It was really nice. Motherhood can be really lonely,
Ms. Dill-Cruz said.
The women were asked by other Sycamore moms to
helm the afterschool sewing program. Before long, they
began talking about setting up their own studio.
Its a charming space, dominated by large tables with
metal lockers beneath, perfect for stowing backpacks
and purses. Theres a cupboard filled with fabric for kids
projects along with sewing machine stations, supplies for
sale and a display of vintage sewing machines.
The Yvonnes have a general rule of thumb: nine is a
good age to get started sewingold enough to handle
sharp scissors and machines.
For kids looking for a fun one-off or regular craft session, there is a Crafty Sewciety class every Friday from
3:30 to 5 p.m. Sewciety will also offer a Spring Sewing
Camp from April 4 to April 8. In the 9 a.m. to noon session, students will create a wardrobe for 18-inch dolls. In
a session held from 1 to 4 p.m., participants will get
sleepover ready, creating a pillowcase cover, pajama
shorts and a zipper bag.
Weve got it all in here. Weve put our heart and soul
into this, Ms. Cervantes Coleman said.
Sewciety Studio is located at 218 W. Foothill Blvd. in
Claremont. For information, call (909) 447-6790, visit
www.sewcietystudio.com or check out the Sewciety Studio Facebook page.

The changes that come down the tracks

by John Pixley
hen it comes to transportation,

its hard not to feel like a fool
this April 1. Or any time these
days. It seems like were damned if we do,
damned if we dont. In talking about how
we all get around, at the very least, there
are no easy solutions.
I certainly felt like a fool when I first read about the

proposed elevated railroad bridge over Indian Hill
Boulevard in the Village. I did a double-takemore
like a triple-take. I couldnt get my head around what
was being proposed, couldnt even imagine it. A big
overpass, like the one for the 10 freeway further south,
right in the Village? Okay, next to the Village. But, really, whats the difference?
And what about the grading leading to and from the
overpass? Wouldnt this mean a big, ugly wall inor
next tothe Village?
No. I had to have been dreaming when I first read
about it. I couldnt imagine it.
But I had to. It wasnt a dream. I kept reading more
about this railroad bridge over Indian Hill Boulevard,
and the city council said that it had to be considered.
Sam Pedroza said everything had to be given a fair
hearing, that was the way things were done in Claremont.
People asked if the railway couldnt go under Indian
Hill. After all, the 210 freeway is below grade, passing
under streets, in northern Claremont, notably unique
among adjacent towns. Couldnt the same go for Claremont for the railroad crossing? But the below grade
option was prohibitively expensive, we were told. No,
the rail overpass in the Village has to be imagined, has
to be considered.
Maybe it wouldnt be worse than when the big office
buildings were installed along First Street, just north of
the railway tracks. Or what about when it looked like a
huge monstrocity was about to swallow the Village as
the new Village extension was going up hard on the
west side of Indian Hill Boulevard?
Whos to say that wed ever get used to a big railway
bridge, like we now accept these and all the other additions and changes over the years as part of the Village?
But it looks more and more like were fools for being
shocked and upset that this latest project is being considered.
After all, its what we want.
In the past 20 years or so, it has been a big deal that
theres more public transit in Claremont, providing us
observer
with more ways to get to places like Los Angeles without driving our cars. It was a big deal when there were
more buses stopping in Claremont, and it was even
more of a big deal when the Metrolink train to Los Angeles began stopping in Claremont.
We all went day-tripping to LA on the train, with a
number of commuters using it faithfully to get to work,
and we were proud that the old Claremont depot was revived as a public transit hub. Judy Wright was called a
town hero for championing these efforts. And now
were eagerly awaiting the further extension of the Gold
Line light rail from Pasadena, and now Arcadia to
Montclair, with a stop in Claremont.
And for good reason: Not only does the Gold Line
have the potential to bring more visitors and shoppers to
the Villagethe first extension to Arcadia has been so
popular that extra cars have been added. More importantly, it should mean that therell be that much less traffic on the freeways.
Yes, traffic. I have written frequently about the frustration over traffic on our freeways. I wrote about it last
month. But dont just take my word for it; according to
an annual study by Intrix that was recently released, the
greater Los Angeles area once again has the worst traffic in the nation. Reportedly, freeway drivers in this region spent 81 hours idling in traffic during 2015.
And not only will more trains hopefully mean less
traffic on the freeways, plus an efficient, attractive way
to get around, whether for those who visit Claremont or
for those here going to other places. Less traffic should
also mean less smog.
All good things, right? I doubt there are many who
would argue that having trains stop here hasnt made
Claremont even a better, more lively, more alluring
town, not to mention one that promotes environmentally-friendly practices.
But we are fools not to consider that there are things
about trains stopping here that arent so good. When the
Metrolink trains first came to Claremont, I was thrilled
that there was an easy, less stressful connection to LA
and the rest of the world. It was novel and romantic. I
still like that there is this connection here, but there are
also the whistles that wake me up in the early morning.
Do they really have to be so long and loud? I sometimes
Do we put a ribbon on a troll?
wonder if there are conductors who get a kick out of

blowing the horn as long and hard as they can.
One of my pet peeves over the years has been the
way the crossing gates at Indian Hill Boulevard and
College Avenue go down before the train stops at the
depot. This means that the drivers and pedestrians on
Indian Hill or College and maybe at subsequent crossingsdepending on if the train is going to or from
LAhave to wait until the passengers get off and the
train gets going again. This can take several minutes, especially if there is a passenger, such as one in a wheelchair, who needs assistance disembarking. What I want
to know is why cant the crossing gate go down as the
train leaves the Depot?
No doubt a bridge over Indian Hill Boulevard (and
also College Avenue) would take care of this irritant.
This, in fact, is one of the arguments put forth in support
of the rail bridge. With more trains coming through
Claremont after the Gold Line extension, the crossing
gates will come down more often, with more delays for
drivers and pedestrians. A study cited in support of the
bridge estimates that, with the current trains and the new
Gold Line trains passing through, there will be 23 minutes per hour of traffic delays with the crossing gates
down, up from the 12 minutes that occur now.
The bridge over Indian Hill makes sense, given this,
doesnt it? Not necessarily.
As pointed out by Jim Keith recently in these pages,
the study didnt take into account that the train station
will be moved east of College Avenue from the depot
(which will reportedly house the Claremont Museum of
Art) and that therefore the gates at Indian Hill wont
have to be down for so long, since they wont be down
while a train is stopped at the station. This will result in
15 minutes per hour of traffic delays at Indian Hill
Boulevard50 percent less than what the study came
up with. Mr. Keith also mentions that drivers will probably find alternative routes, like Cambridge Avenue,
and that they should anyway, with Indian Hill currently
at capacity, regardless of the Gold Line.
I dont know what the station moving will mean for
College Avenue. Will it have 23 minutes of traffic delays an hour? And what about Claremont Boulevard to
the east? Then again, as Mr. Keith pointed out, drivers
will probably find alternative routes.
Maybe the railway bridge is just talk, an idea that
wont pan out. Thats what many are hoping. But as
things change for the better, like with the Metrolink and
now the Gold Line coming to Claremont, there will
surely be more changes, whether or not we like them.
Wed be fools to think this wont happen.
Drive to the Claremont Village, not through it

by Mark von Wodtke, FASLA
ne of the nicest towns

for walking or riding a
bicycle is Houten, in
the Netherlands. Houten is designed so cars can drive to it,
but not through it. Consequently its a very safe and
pleasant place to walk, and
people of all ages bike there
safely while doing daily activities.
Because its a pleasant town (it is
about the same size as Claremont) it attracts visitors who frequent the restaurants, shops and other amenities. Towns
like this demonstrate how we can tran-
sition to clean transportation, which is

healthier for people and the environment, while improving our quality of
life.
In Claremont, Towne and Monte
Vista avenues provide efficient routes
for through traffic to go around our Village, with both streets having access to
the 10 and 210 freeways. Indian Hill
Boulevard provides access to the Village, but is not a good way to go
through it. Traffic studies show it will
become increasingly difficult to drive a
car through the Village. We must be
sure to maintain uncongested access to
all locations throughout Claremont.
Using airspace over the railroad,
pedestrian bridges can weave Claremont together. The High Line Park, in
New York City, provides examples of
VIEWPOINT
very successful elevated urban pedestrian spaces. Here in Claremont, the existing parking structure could be linked
by a pedestrian bridge over the tracks to
a new parking structure in the transitoriented development on the south side
of the tracks.
Similarly, pedestrian bridges should
be added where each station is developed. This would make the Gold Line
and Metro Link Rail stations accessible
from both sides of all the tracks. Including elevators large enough to take bicycles would accommodate both
pedestrians and cyclists. All parts of
Claremont should have easy access to
the train and bus stations.
Weaving Claremont together, with
urban park-like pedestrian bridges over
the tracks, would cost less than building
an elevated rail that would divide the
Village.
Adding railroads and buses would
improve our public transportation hub,
making the Claremont Village even
more accessible and vital. However, the
Village should sustain and enhance its
pleasant pedestrian environment, not
become a place cut off by a raised railroad track, a bridge and overly congested by cars trying to drive through it
on Indian Hill Boulevard.
Lets ask our city council to support
a more sustainable eco Village concept.
In implementing the transit-oriented development plan, funded by Metrolink,

Claremont can work with both Gold
Line and Metrolink to increase ridership.
The eco Village concept can create a
pedestrian, bicycle and public transit
priority zone while decreasing throughtraffic in the Village. Indian Hill
doesnt have the capacity to be a
through street and its not necessary if
we have an eco Village transit-oriented
development plan and make better use
of our existing street network.
To accommodate through traffic, the
transit districts could provide a grade
separation for all tracks at Towne Avenue, so this through-street will have
access to the freeways going west without any delays from trains. Grade separations are safersaving lives and
reducing railroads liability risks.
Monte Vista already has this separation,
making it easy to safely get around the
Claremont Village and onto freeways
when traveling east.
Please select your driving routes
carefully so that youre not passing
through the Claremont Village when
leaving town. Youll be saving yourself
time and will help reduce congestion in
the Claremont Village.

The treatment of historic properties
by John Neiuber
ver the last several years, my wife

and I have undertaken a series of
projects at our 1908 Transitional
Craftsman home in an attempt to restore it
as close as possible to its original state.
We had the good fortune to have purchased a house
whose exterior had been altered only slightly, and also
to have contact with one of the former families who had
many interior photographs of the original fireplace,
moldings, casework and other features that allowed our
contractor to tackle these projects armed with historical
evidence.
The use of the word restore above is really not an
accurate descriptor. There are actually four treatment approaches used to describe work done with historic properties:
Preservation: This treatment places an emphasis on
the maintenance and repair of existing historic materials
and retaining the property as it has evolved over time.
Rehabilitation: This treatment recognizes the need to
alter or add to a historic property to adapt to a new use,
while retaining the propertys historic character.
Restoration: This treatment is meant to depict a property at a particular period of time in its history, while removing evidence of other periods.
Reconstruction: This treatment recreates demolished
elements of a property.
Which treatment or treatments to choose depends on
a number of factors, including the propertys historical
significance, the existing physical conditions of the
property, its proposed use and its intended interpretation.
What we found with our house was that we used all
four of treatments. First, we utilized the Preservation
treatment as we maintained and repaired the exterior of
the house. This involved replacing damaged siding and
repairing double-hung windows. We discovered that the
area, which was once the mudroom and porch had been
enclosed over time to become part of the kitchen, and
we retained that evolution of space.
Rehabilitation came into play when updating the
kitchen and bathrooms to accommodate appliances, fixtures and the conveniences of todays modern living and
also because the original design had long ago been removed. We embraced a design for the kitchen and bath-
rooms that would complement the homes historic character and influences.
Restoration and reconstruction are the two approaches we have utilized most recently, as we undertook a series of projects to return the living room, dining
room and study to a particular period of time in its history. We chose to return those rooms to their original
state as built. Using the historic photographs, as well as
oral histories provided by previous homeowners, we
were able to restore existing elements and remove evidence of other periods.
For example, we removed the fireplace surround and
treatment that was not original and the baseboards that
had been replaced over time. Using photographs, the
fireplace was reconstructed to its original design. Baseboards were created using ones that still existed in some
rooms as a template. Elements missing from the built-in
buffet were created, as were built-in bookcases, using
the same type of wood as the existing historical fabric
The use of my own home as an example is to make a
point. Many times homeowners are under the impression that one must follow an absolute set of rigid rules
when dealing with a historic property and that means
they must forego the conveniences of modern living.
Such is not the case. Each property needs to be studied
to determine which approach or approaches work the
best.
Making the right choice for the most appropriate
treatment for a building requires careful decision-making about the buildings historical significance, in addition to a number of other considerations.
First, one must make a determination of the property
in relation to its importance in history. Is the building a
significant resource in terms of its architecture, or is it
the work of a master architect or craftsman? Did an important event take place in it? Did an important historic
person occupy the home who contributed to the history

of the city, state or nation? These types of properties are
typically the ones which undergo preservation or
restoration.
On the other hand, properties that contribute to the
significance of a historic district typically undergo rehabilitation. There are usually fewer instances when reconstruction is used for an entire structure, but it is often
used to recreate missing elements of existing properties.
Once the buildings historical significance is determined, one must take into consideration the physical
condition of the property. This is oftentimes called the
degree of material integrity. Has the original structure
survived largely intact or has it been altered? If altered,
are the changes an important part of the buildings history?
Preservation may be the most appropriate treatment if
the materials and character-defining features are essentially intact. If the building requires more extensive replacement, or if alterations or additions are necessary for
a new use, then rehabilitation is the more appropriate
treatment.
The proposed use of the historic building is another
consideration: Will the building be used as it was designed, or will it be given a new use? Most historic
buildings can be adapted for new uses without seriously
damaging the character-defining features. Occasionally,
single type uses are difficult to adapt to new uses without major intervention and resulting loss of historic integrity.
For the most part, homeowners need not worry about
the adaptive reuse of a house. This consideration is primarily a concern for commercial or institutional reuse.
For example, we have many instances of adaptive reuse
in the Claremont, where rehabilitation has been used extremely well: the Packing House, the ice house office
(Back Abbey), city hall, Padua Hills Theatre and the
Old School House, to name a few.
When one is the steward of a historic home, it is important to consider the four treatment methods that promote responsible preservation practices. It is important
to ask the right questions to determine which treatments
to use. Delving into the past and doing the research are
fun and will enrich your understanding of the history
and significance of your home.

OBITUARIES
Restaurateur, realtor, giver

Louise Warren Elliott Teran, a longtime Pomona resident, died on November 3, 2015 at the age of 97.
She was born in 1918 in Newton
Grove, North Carolina to Allen Bennett
Warren and Myra Susan Dameron Tart.
Louise grew up on her familys farm
near Clinton, North Carolina surrounded by her 10 siblings. After graduation from high school, she attended
Bob Jones University. She then moved
to Charlotte, North Carolina where she
met her future husband James Elliott.
She and Jimmy owned and operated a
successful restaurant, the Greenland, in
Charlotte for many years. They were
also the parents of five children.
After Mr. Elliotts death in 1968,
Louise entered the real estate business
in Charlotte, North Carolina. A few
years later, with the encouragement of

her brother Clyde, she moved to
Pomona, California to work with his
real estate firm. It was there that she
met her second husband, Judge Carlos

Teran.
Mrs. Elliott Teran will always be
known as a giver and faithful supporter
of her children, grandchildren and
great-grandchildren. She was a lover of
flowers, especially of her rose garden,
and was known as the Lemon Lady
who gave away her best lemons to her
many friends when they came to visit.
Family shared that they are comforted
knowing she is with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Louise is preceded in death by all of
her siblings; by her first husband James
Elliott of Charlotte, North Carolina; by
her second husband Carlos Teran of
Claremont; by her sons George Elliott
of Saratoga, California and Basil James
Elliott of Seattle, Washington, and by
her grandson James P. Elliott, II of

Spokane, Washington.
She will be greatly missed by her
friends and remaining family, especially her son Peter J. Elliott of
Spokane, Washington, her daughter Antonia DeeDee Brookshire of Pomona
and her son and daughter-in-law Deno
and Julie Elliott of Prescott, Arizona.
She also leaves behind 12 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren who
will miss their Yia Yia and Cookie very
much.
A gathering of friends and family for
Louises celebration of life will held on
Saturday, April 9 starting at 10:30 a.m
at San Dimas Canyon Golf Course, located at 2100 Terrebonne Ave. in San
Dimas.
Mr. Figgins was a good cook. Ms.

Gilsdorf Figgins remembers being
greeted with the delectable aroma of
lobster Newburg at the end of one of her
drives to California. Ross had some of
his recipes published in Sunset Magazine. His book on beer lore and beer
recipes, Beer, Man Food, Man Cooking, and Beer, came out in 2009;
Sketching the Wind, a book of his
haiku and his ink sketches, was published in 2014. Mr. Figgins studied Zen
in the 1970s and over the years published nearly 2000 haiku in poetry journals including Modern Haiku, Blithe
Spirit and Frogpond. Working as a
draftsman as a youngster led him into
sketching, and after retirement he began
developing his talent for painting in
acrylics. He was into computers in the
earliest days of personal computers. The
first one he owned was an Osborne.
He liked catsnot fancy cats, just
cats. Over the decades he had a black
male, Voodoo, a part-Siamese named
Cybele, two brother cats called Guinness and Harp, a tall orange Maine
Coon named Marcus Aurelius and, most
recently, two boys named Smithwick
and Butterbeer. They lived long happy
lives and a couple of them drank a little
beer.
Mr. Figgins was a collector of Asian
art and a savvy philatelist. He enjoyed
jazz of the classic cool schoolStan
Getz, Gerry Mulligan, Miles Davis,
Paul Desmond, Bill Evans and others.
He enjoyed tai chi and reading fiction.
He liked book collecting, especially
modern first editions. As a kid he collected all of Edgar Rice Burroughs. He
developed an extensive signed collection of Ray Bradburys novels, poems,
plays and short fiction. Mr. Bradbury

and Ross would sometimes enjoy a beer
together when the author was giving a
talk in the area.
Mr. Figgins placed strong emphasis
on gentlemanly behavior. He had a
kindly wit and a keen sense of whimsy
and the ridiculous. Ross and Jenny traveled widely. They enjoyed trips to many
US, Canadian and Mexican destinations, visits to many countries in Europe, a Panama Canal cruise and
memorable travels in New Zealand,
China, Russia, Japan and Egypt. He was
a lifelong member of the Elks.
Jenny asked Ross one day how he
would describe himself. Industrious,
he said. And loyal. Others would
offer many more and less modest descriptors. Mr. Figgins as a teacher inspired many people over the years. He
knew a lot about a wide array of topics,
and hed tell you, if you were interested,
but he wasnt one to insist on being
heard. He was himself an empathetic
listener. His wife, his stepkids and his
friends listened to him and admired and
loved him. So did many others. He was
unique in the world. Most people say
whats been said before. Not many people can say a new thing. Ross could and
did, often.
He is survived by his wife, two stepsons, Robert Gilsdorf (Leolyn Bischel)
and Dan Gilsdorf (Stacy), and his stepdaughter Wendy Weiss. Rosss first
wife, Jacque Weiss, died in 1982.
No service will be held. In lieu of
flowers, those wishing to do so can
make a contribution to a charity of their
choosing.
Ross Figgins
Professor, writer, multi-talent
Ross Figgins, professor emeritus at
Cal Poly Pomona, died peacefully
March 26, 2016 at his home in Claremont. His wife Jenny was with him.
He was born March 10, 1936 in
Plainfield, New Jersey, the only child of
Fred Figgins and Frances McAlvanah
Figgins. The family moved to the San
Fernando Valley after World War II. As
a young teen, Ross worked sometimes
in his dads neon-sign business, the first
of many jobs. When his dads partner
came in one day, he looked up at a tall
ladder and said, Whos that up there?
Thats Ross, his dad said. Give him a
raise, said the partner.
Mr. Figgins earned a bachelors degree at Valley State College (now CSUNorthridge), where he and four friends
founded Beta Sigma Pi, which became
Zeta Xi chapter of Sigma Chi fraternity.
Ross was founding president. After
graduation he joined the US Army Reserve. He loved flying and earned his
pilots license at age 18. He flew for
Civil Air Patrol search and rescue.
He earned one masters degree at
Northridge, another masters degree at
the University of Illinois at ChampaignUrbana and a PhD from the University
of Southern California. He taught for 30
years at Cal Poly Pomona in English
and communication arts, earned promotion to full professor and retired in
1996. At Cal Poly he was a member of
the Institute for Advanced Systems
Studies.
He is author of several textbooks and
was a field editor for John Wiley &
Sons. He grew bonsai, edited a union
newspaper at Cal Poly, collected legends in Mexico, built some houses with
his longtime friend and business partner
Jim Shepard in Oregon and, for a time,

wrote a regular column, Docs Corner, for a magazine called All About
Beer. The columns title reflected his
theory that conversations were always
best if one sat at a corner of the bar.
With Mr. Shepard, a builder-contractor,
Mr. Figgins became fairly skilled at
most of the building trades. Jim said,
He learned everything so quickly
everything except accounting. He just
didnt take to accounting.
He met his wife, Jenny Gilsdorf Figgins, at a professional conference. They
married in 1985. Because she was a
tenured professor at Arizona State University, they had a commuter marriage
until Jenny found a tenure-track position at Cal State Long Beach. They
would spend every other weekend together, each making the LA to Phoenix
trip one weekend a month. Starting in
1989 they got to live in the same state,
town and house.

Author explores white male anger in Middle America
ichael Kimmel knows how

angry white men can get. The
New York-based sociologist
and author shared his knowledge with a
Scripps College crowd at the Balch Auditorium on March 23.
Mr. Kimmel is the author of Angry White Men:
American Masculinity at the End of an Era, which
explores male anger in Middle America and how
some men are dealing with a changing world. Scripps
Feminist Center Coordinator Susan Castagnotto introduced Mr. Kimmel, noting that the crowd is one of
the largest shes seen at the auditorium.
We couldnt think of a better speaker during
Womens History Month than Michael Kimmel to
talk about angry white men, Ms. Castagnotto joked.
During his speech, Mr. Kimmel focused on one
particular subsection of angry white men: neo-Nazis,
white nationalists, white supremacists and other
members of the extreme right. The origins of his
thinking, he said, began on a TV talk show, where he
sat on a panel with white men who bemoaned that
they were victims of reverse discrimination. The
theme of the show was, Black women stole my job.
Mr. Kimmel had one question for themwhere did
they get my from? The key to understanding white

male rage, he noted, is entitlement.
White men in America are beneficiaries of the
greatest affirmative action program in the history of
the world, Mr. Kimmel asserted. Its called the history of the world.
Mr. Kimmel took an intersectional approach to his
analysis, using gender in the way hate groups interpret race and class. After giving a proper warning, he
showed a PowerPoint
presentation of propaganda pieces created by
various white nationalist
and neo-Nazi groups,
which showed distorted
and racist images of
African Americans and
other marginalized
groups.
A common theme
emerged within the imageswomen. Minority
groups, these propaganda pieces warned,
were taking white
women away. Women were often depicted in these
pieces as bare-chested trophies that white men are entitled to.
White nationalist propaganda, Mr. Kimmel said,
works in three ways: it provides analysis of a situation
(your life as a white man is bad), it demonizes the
other (its their fault) and it serves as a recruiting
tool for people to join (the only way it can get better
is if you join us). Throughout the presentation, every
piece of propaganda fit the bill.
Mr. Kimmel also showed the audience a classic
piece of American masculine culture: Charles Atlas
Hero of the Beach comic from the 1920s. The
comic featured the stereotypical 97-pound weakling
as hes humiliated and emasculated at the beach by a
larger man. He goes home, gains muscle and returns
to the shore to exact his revenge and claim a woman.
He then presented the same comic, but racialized
by a white nationalist group to show a white man getting assaulted at the beach by a black man. The white
man bulks up, puts on his boots and suspenders and
claims the beach (and the women) from the black
man.
That comic, Mr. Kimmel noted, served as a vital recruiting tool for white supremacists.
He dissected the lyrics of Promised Land by
Bruce Springsteen as the penultimate representation
of white frustration. The lyrics, in part, read, Mister,

I aint a boy, Im a man and I believe in a promised
land.
Notice hes saying it to another manmister, I
aint a boy. Masculinity is a homosocial performance, constantly performed for other mens evaluation, Mr. Kimmel said. And finally, the belief in a
promised land, this idea that if we retake our masculinity we reclaim our country.
At the end of his speech, Mr. Kimmel touched on
the current campaign and the rise of Donald Trump,
an event that seems to fit perfectly within his theories
of white male anger. He said many conservative figures, such as radio host Rush Limbaugh, have been
assuaging fears and drumming up anger for nearly
two decades, which allowed for the ascension of Mr.
Trump.
This is exactly the fruition of everything theyve
been stoking for the past 20 years, Mr. Kimmel said.
So it seems nave, willfully so, to feign surprise at
someone like Donald Trump, how he is now surfing
that wave of rage that the entire Republican party
helped to stoke for all these years.
Despite the troubling imagery presented, Mr. Kimmel remains optimistic that these men are a dying
group. He interviewed dozens of men in America and
across Europe while researching his book, and
stresses the need for compassion.
Ive listened to them and Ive said, you know, you
have every right to be angry. You have been screwed
by this system, absolutely, Mr. Kimmel said. But do
you think immigrants issued those predatory loans?
Do you think feminist women are responsible for climate change? Do you think LGBT people outsourced
your job? Of course you should be angry, youve been
badly done by. But youre delivering your mail to the
wrong address.
During a question-and-answer session that followed the talk, one man asked what he could do to
bring equality to the promised land. Mr. Kimmel responded that he is inherently an optimist, and pointed
out that even though there is a long way to go to
achieve true equality, Americans have made incredible strides to achieve equality.
The easiest answer is, we dont give up, Mr.
Kimmel said. Do you think for a minute were going
to go backwards? Do you think for a minute American women are going to say, oh, this work thing, voting, driving a car, serving on juries, having
orgasmsits not going to happen. Were not going
back.

OUR TOWN
Claremont boy aims to

complete mile marker
project for Eagle Scout
Jack Campbell, a life scout in Boy
Scout Troop 407 and an eighth-grader at
El Roble, is working to earn the highest
rank for a boy scoutEagle Scout.
For this rank, Jack must complete an

extended community project. Over
spring break, April 5 through 8, Jack
plans to re-do the mile markers in the
Claremont Hills Wilderness Park.
I am installing permanent mile
markers to ensure the safety of park patrons and to make the park look nicer,
Jack said.
The mile markers will have stainless
steel QR codes and various other functions like help alerts, in case people get
lost or injured. These new and improved
safety features will help in the long run.
The mile markers are made of 100
percent recycled plastic, so we are helping the environment along with making
it a safer experience for park patrons.

These mile markers will last practically
forever, making them very cost effective, Jack explained.
Jack joined the Cub Scouts while in
third grade at Chaparral Elementary. He
has earned all 20 achievement pins as
well as his Arrow of Light. He bridged
over to Boy Scouts in fifth grade and, at
13, will be the youngest Eagle Scout in
his troop.
Jack needs help from the community
to cover the cost of materials for his
project. For information, email Jack directly at jackcampbelliv@gmail.com.

Animaux (The Festival of Animals) by
Elisa RosasHutchison.Her
work explores
the relationship
between color
and texture
through the use
of traditional
art media used
in a non-traditional way. As a mixed-media artist, she uses acrylic paint, ink, watercolor and charcoal on the same canvas.Her inspiration comes from
childhood readings of writers like Roald
Dahl and Shel Silverstein synthesized
with a native sense of reflective fantasy.
Drawing on the totemic stories from her
Native American heritage, animals are

often the main subject of her works. Her
work explores the subtext of what it
would be like if animals expressed human instincts.

Boys volleyball gives tough fight in 3-0 loss
COURIERphotos/Steven Felschundneff
Johnny Abrolat goes for the diving save during the second set of Claremonts Pacific League game against
Burbank on Wednesday in Claremont. Although Claremont kept the sets close Burbank swept the Pack, 3-0.
he Burbank Bulldogs probably assumed they would easily win their

matchup with Claremont on
Wednesday. After all, Claremont is currently in last place in the Pacific League
while Burbank is ranked second, just behind Burroughs. From the very start, however, it was clear the Wolfpack was going
to be competitive.
Burbank had the air of a team destined to win, but

Claremont matched them point-for-point in the first
two sets and even led several times. In the end the
Bulldogs never won by more that five points and
nearly lost the final set when Claremont, down 14-22,
went on a seven-point winning streak. But win they
did in straight sets: 25-22, 25-20, 25-23.
Watching the game play out, it was clear Burbanks
main advantage was setting the ball to the right players who would then go for the kill. By contrast, Clare-
CHS WEEKLY ROUNDUP

TRACK AND FIELD
Claremont track was back in action on
Saturday at both the qualifier in Covina and the Azusa Meet of Champions at
Azusa Pacific University.
In Covina, a quintet of varsity girls
dominated the field in the 1600-meter
race, taking second through sixth places
with Olivia Paez of Bishop Amat coming in first. In order, Tess Rounds,
Frances OLeary, Sydney Hwang, Jax
Heckers and Sarah Ayala all finished
with in six seconds of each other and all
were under 5:26.
On the boys side, Tom Englebert took
mont always seemed to be recovering and had to settle way too often for a shot that simply went over the
net.
Burbanks big guns, seniors Aram Krakirian, Andrew Hank and Brandon Alba delivered some withering shots but credit has to be given to Claremont for
some amazing saves including key digs from Caedin
Miller.
Claremont did have its moments to shine with several strong kills from James Bradley and good offensive play from Johnny Abrolat.
Coach Bernie Wendling had to rein in his team several times during the match as the banter from the
bench became a distraction. Likely this issue will
solve itself as the players mature individually and as a
team.
Coach Wendling was happy with his teams effort,
even if the outcome was another loss.
We made too many unforced errors at critical
times. But we also made a great effort coming back.
We were down bad in set three and the guys showed a
lot of heart and fought back, he said.
Claremonts James Bradley goes for the kill during the

second set of the Packs 3-0 loss to Burbank on
Wednesday in Claremont.
Coach Wendling will be working with his team to

focus effort on the basics, not just the spectacular
kills.
We love a big play. We love the big swing, its
part of the fun. But weve got to do the little things,
too. You have to pass, you have to play defense and
do the hard stuff that no one notices, he said.
He is also looking forward to the second half of the
season and an opportunity to defeat teams that narrowly eliminated them in the first round.
We have Hoover on Friday and then we start second round [of league play]. We feel like everybody,
except maybe Burroughs, is in that category where
we are looking forward to playing them again. No
one is really out of reach.
The boys are now 3-14 overall and 0-5 in league.
third in the 1600-meter event at 4:31.

In Azusa, Owen Bishop took sixth
place. However, he was less than a second behind fifth place and only two seconds slower than first. Ryan Renken
gave a solid performance in the 3200meter race, coming in fifth.
Annie Boos came in ninth in the 800meter race, just six seconds behind the
first-place runner.
Godinez (8-4), Orange (10-0) and Mira

Bar tournament this weekend and have

April 13 in Claremont.
SOFTBALL
Claremont won its non-conference

game against Wilson, 7-5, on Monday in
Rowland Heights.
Claremont was ahead 7-0 going into
the seventh and final inning when Wilson piled on five hits and five runs.
Junior Matt Hohn had two hits and

one run, senior Nelson Steinert had two

hits with two RBIs, while senior Jack
Pavlisin had one hit for two RBIs.
Sophomore Jack Noble earned the
win, pitching six-and-a-half innings, giving up five hits and five runs while striking out six and walking one.
The boys are now 0-3 in league and 48 overall and face Bonita on April 6 in
La Verne.
BOYS TENNIS

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
ON THE POMONA COLLEGE
2015 CAMPUS MASTER PLAN
(FILE #12-IMP02), 2016 FINAL
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
FOR THE PROJECT (SCH#2013101061),
AND RELATED ZONE CHANGE
The Claremont City Council will hold a public
hearing on April 12, 2016, to consider the following:
2016 Final Environmental Impact Report
(EIR) for the Pomona College 2015 Campus
Master Plan project (File #12-IMP02);
Statement of Overriding Considerations and
Mitigation, Monitoring, and Reporting Program;
Revised Pomona College 2015 Campus Master Plan dated October, 2015; and
Zone Change for the property located at 211
and 239 N. College Avenue.
Project Location: The project area is the campus of Pomona College in the City of Claremont. The campus of Pomona College is
approximately 140 acres, and is roughly
bounded by First Street on the south, Eighth
Street on the north, Harvard Avenue on the
west, and Mills and Amherst Avenues on the
east.
Project Description: The proposed project consists of a long-range Master Plan for planned future improvements to the Pomona College
campus over a period of 15 years from the date
of City approval of the Master Plan, plus associated actions. The broad parameters of the
Master Plan may be summarized as follows:
Enrollment increase of 50 students (from
1,590 to 1,640 students), a net increase of 26
student beds on campus (from 1,534 to 1,560
beds), an increase of 30 faculty (from 192 to
222 faculty), and an increase of 30 staff (from
495 to 525 staff).
Removal of up to 126,700 gross square feet of
existing facilities and construction of up to
332,100 gross square feet of new facilities, for
a net increase of 205,400 gross square feet of
structural development.
Relocation of Renwick House from the northwest corner of Second Street and College Avenue (211 North College Avenue) to the
southeast corner of this same intersection.
A net increase of 18 on-campus parking
spaces.
Campus lot coverage increase from approximately 16% to approximately 18%.
Pedestrian and bicycle improvements to improve safety and clarify pedestrian and vehicular circulation patterns.
New and remodeled open spaces such as
courtyards, plazas, walkways, streetscapes, and
landscaping.
REALTOR
Mason is an excellent realtor. We commend him

for his diligence throughout the entire process of
selecting and purchasing our new property. We're
sure with his thoughtfulness and kindness he will
do very well in his chosen field of endeavor.
Garry & Dorothy L.
legalads@claremont-courier.com 909.621.4761
The project also includes related actions that
provide for implementation of the Master Plan.
A proposed Zone Change will change the zoning from Medium Density Residential
(RM2000) to Institution Educational (IE) for
four parcels (APN #s 8313-018-004, 8313-018005, 8313-018-006, and 8313-018-007), totaling approximately 54,000 square feet (1.24
acres), located on the west side of College Avenue between Second Street and Bonita Avenue.
The property is the proposed location for the
new Pomona College Museum of Art. The Zone
Change will make the zoning of the property
consistent with the propertys Institutional
General Plan land use designation, which the
City Council previously approved as part of the
Citys 2006 Comprehensive General Plan Update.
The proposed project would require the following entitlements:
Approval of the Master Plan.
Approval of the Zone Change.
Lot merger of the four parcels discussed
above, and other lot mergers or lot line adjustments for other individual projects as required
for implementation of the Master Plan.
Design review approval of all new construction, building relocations, and other site
changes.
Approval of a permit for removal of any street
tree pursuant to the City Tree Policy Manual.
Approval of a Special Use and Development
Permit for any temporary construction trailers
or other temporary construction-related uses, as
applicable.
Ministerial and ancillary permits required to
carry out individual projects under the Master
Plan, such as demolition permits, building permits, relocation permit, and occupancy permits.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on March 15, 2016, after which the Commission voted 4-3 to recommend that the City
Council certify the Final EIR; adopt environmental findings, a Statement of Overriding
Considerations, and a Mitigation Monitoring
and Reporting Program (MMRP) for the project; and approve the Master Plan and Zone
Change.
Public Hearing: The City Council will hold the
public hearing on April 12, 2016, beginning at 7
p.m., in the City Council Chamber, 225 W. Second Street, Claremont. The City Council will
make the final decisions on the 2016 Final EIR;
Statement of Overriding Considerations; the
Mitigation, Monitoring and Reporting Program;
revised Master Plan dated October 2015, and
proposed Zone Change.
Environmental Review: The City of Claremont has prepared the Final EIR for the Master
Plan project in accordance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public
Res. Code #21000 et. seq.), the State CEQA

Guidelines (14CCR #15000 et. seq.), and
Claremonts Local CEQA Guidelines. The Final
EIR evaluates the proposed projects potential
to significantly impact the environment and
identifies ways to reduce or avoid environmental impacts through mitigation measures and alternatives to the project. With implementation
of the mitigation measures, it was determined
that all identified impacts of the project could
be mitigated to below a level of significance,
except for an unavoidable significant cultural
resource impact from the demolition of the
Thatcher Music Building, and unavoidable significant noise impacts during construction near
residential property. Staff is recommending the
adoption of a Statement of Overriding Considerations for the project, as the benefits of the
project outweigh the potential unavoidable adverse impacts of the project. Mitigation measures are included in a proposed Mitigation,
Monitoring, and Reporting Program.
Public Review and Comment: The Final EIR
and Master Plan documents may be accessed
through the Citys website at www.ci.claremont.ca.us. The documents in paper form may
also be reviewed during regular business hours
at the following locations:

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you
are considering bidding on this property lien,
you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will
be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.
Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does
not automatically entitle you to free and clear
ownership of the property. You should also be
aware that the lien being auctioned off may be
a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the
auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to
the property. You are encouraged to investigate
the existence, priority, and size of outstanding
liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you
a fee for this information. If you consult either
of these resources, you should be aware that the
same lender may hold more than one mortgage
or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO
PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on
this notice of sale may be postponed one or
more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary,
trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of
the California Civil Code. The law requires that
information about trustee sale postponements be
made available to you and to the public, as a
courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you
wish to learn whether your sale date has been
postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled
time and date for the sale of this property, you
may call (714) 730-2727 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet
Web site - www.servicelinkASAP.com - for information regarding the sale of this property,
using the file number assigned to this case:
124305. Information about postponements that
are very short in duration or that occur close in
time to the scheduled sale may not immediately
be reflected in the telephone information or on
the Internet Web site. The best way to verify
postponement information is to attend the
scheduled sale. A-4567645 04/01/2016,

The PETITION requests authority to administer the
estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining
court approval. Before taking certain very important
actions, however, the personal representative will be
required to give notice to interested persons unless

files an objection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the authority.
A HEARING ON THE PETITION WILL BE
HELD IN THIS COURT AS FOLLOWS:
Date: April 12, 2016 Time: 8:30 A.M. in Dept. 5
Room: located at:
Superior Court Of California,
County Of Los Angeles,

Los Angeles, CA 90012
IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you
should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before
the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or
by your attorney.
IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a CONTINGENT
CREDITOR OF THE DECEDENT, you must file
your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within
the later of either (1) four months from the date of
first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58 (b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of
mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under
section 9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California
law.
YOU MAY EXAMINE THE FILE KEPT BY THE
COURT. If you are a person interested in the estate,
you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and
appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account
as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request
for Special Notice form is available from the court
clerk.
