The evolution of a water bill
Dear Editor: The explanation of our water bills published in the COURIER on Wednesday, October 10 induced me to run through my Excel budget files since 1994. Here are the interesting results I discovered. From 1994 through 1997, I paid an average of $600 per year for water. In 1998, the bill jumped to $800 per year and then remained between $800 and $850 per year until 2006. In 2007, the bill rose to almost $1000 followed by $1500, $1400, $1250, $1550 and $1750 anticipated this year. I believe that the jump in 1998 was due to the energy crisis that Texas entrepreneurs were putting California through. I believe that the amazing jumps beginning in 2007 mark the takeover of water delivery by Golden State Water and its parent corporation American States Water Company. The essence of our situation is that we have lost any semblance of local control over our water utility, and the Public Utilities Commission that should be protecting us from corporate greed is looking in the other direction. When GSW defends their rate hikes, they always announce that they have to replace infrastructure. We would all love to hear how much of our aging infrastructure they have actually dealt with so far. Interestingly, in our neighborhood along Mountain Avenue, we have been through an algae bloom during the last 2 years (May through July), which they seem incapable of dealing with, while our water tastes like it came from a pond and the shower smells like a sewer. As for the data above, I have lived in the same house with pretty much the same landscape watering needs for 35 years. When I first came to live in Claremont in 1961, our water bills were approximately $5 per month. Claremont water came almost entirely from Mt. Baldy, and you could tell when we started using Colorado River water in the fall of many years because it would leave a salty deposit on the sidewalk. Since the 1960s, we have lost control of our own water because of the enormous amount of development (that has made a few people very rich) all over the Inland Empire. Now we have lost further control because of a corporate buyout. It is hard to believe, in the present political economy, that anything will be done about this.

Candidate speaks out

Dear Editor: It is my duty to bring to your attention important issues that concern you and that directly affect us as Californians.
Sacramento has not been doing its job of serving you and watching out for your best intereststhis must stop. I am running for State Senate not as a career politician, but as a concerned citizen who wants to cross the aisle to get things done. Ive been visiting with residents in Claremont who have expressed that Sacramento has not addressed that our broken education system will only hurt our future and that excessive spending will bankrupt us. Current legislators do not have the right priorities and lack the vision necessary to turn around Californias economy. Sacramento needs to wake up and realize money comes from hardworking taxpayers who believe that substantial fiscal reform is the only path to economic stability. My priorities are jobs and education, because California was once the Golden State where opportunities were plentiful. Putting us on the right track is why I am asking for your vote in November. The legislature has not focused on the values I promise I will bring to youbipartisanship, service to community, commitment to education and fiscal responsibility.

With rewards come risks when owning water system
or many Americans, water is the new oil. It was a point raised by Professor Brian Thomas at a dialog on water ownership held at Pomona College Monday evening, and hardly disputed by the crowd of city officials and community members.
Along with the rising price of gas and property tax, water rates have doubled and in some cases tripled in cities across the country. Fed up with rising rates amid water company profits, many cities like Claremont are weighing their options when it comes to taking over their local water system from investor-owned water companies like Golden State Water. However, before taking the leap from private to public, Mr. Thomas warns it is vital for cities to really understand the extent of the potential risks involved. Its important that you really know what you are getting into, Mr. Thomas said. As you start to think about acquisition, it is critical that you do a comprehensive risk assessment. Potential risks to be considered include those associated with the systems operation, the influence of environmental factors and ever-more-stringent water regulations. Its important to know the liabilities associated with infrastructure projects, such as understanding the elements that could affect a projects schedule and the costs involved. The question of whether or not you are actually going to end up with lower rates is going to really depend on how well that entity is operated, Mr. Thomas said. At the end of the day, you are really going to have to have a good management team, a good management structure. Mr. Thomas explored such questions during his overview of water ownership and governmental structures, hosted by Sustainable Claremont. The community dialog was timely as the city moves forward with analysis of the potential acquisition of its water system, due before the council next week. Mr. Thomas was in a unique position to talk on the topic of water, having served as assistant general manager and chief financial officer of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California from 2000-2011. He currently works as the managing director of a finance firm that represents public companies as they decide whether or not to sell their company. Just because a private water company boasts profits does not necessarily signify a red flag, he asserted. Profits are not a bad thing, he said. Profit motivates people to do good work, it motivates efficiencies. The [water companies] also have to pay taxes and fees that could come to the benefit of the city. While remaining neutraland reiterating that he has not done research into Claremonts situationhe noted that while most other parts of the world have private agencies distributing their water, there is a reason 80 percent of our nations water is distributed by public agencies. Frankly, I think its because in the public sector we just do too good of a job, Mr. Thomas said. There hasnt been the need to privatize those systems. While pointing out the potential risks, Mr. Thomas outlined plausible benefits of local ownership as well. There are several perks, said Mr. Thomas, one being that public systems have the advantage of tax-exempt rates. If the city of Claremont were to borrow a bond to invest in its water system, the interest received on that bond is free from taxes. While private companies must pay taxes, a public entity is able to directly invest the money saved from taxes and interest rates into its capital. So, the overall cost of capital is often lower for municipal agencies, Mr. Thomas said. Another benefit is the communitys ability to play a

porate other rate structures. One that received special attention from Councilmember Sam Pedroza and others was that of budget-based billing. With this ratepaying system, a certain amount of water would be allotted to each household depending on its size. Anything used over that designated amount would cost a significant amount more than the previous allotted amount. While recognizing that this system was effective in more easily managing larger and smaller properties, it proved to have more complex issues in the end, Mr. Thomas noted. At the end of the day, Mr. Thomas maintains that it all comes down to management. Whether or not the water company is owned by the public or private sector, the key is the effectiveness with which the company is organized and run. You have public entities with the highest rates, because of factors like geology or geography, but they are really well run. And then you have those entities that are poorly run but may have the lowest rates for a decade or 15 years and then things start to fall apart, Mr. Thomas said. You can never really get away from management structure.

more involved role in its rate increases. Proposition 218 helps keep the public entity accountable, ensuring that all taxes and most charges to property owners are subject to voter approval. The public entity cannot just raise water rates, for example. Notification must be sent out and, if a majority of Claremont residents do not want the increase, the increases will not happen. While the California Public Utility Commission (CPUC), an appointed body, currently has power over rate increases, the citizens would have control with a locally-owned system, emphasized Claremont Mayor Larry Schroeder during a group discussion following the lecture. Mr. Thomas agreed. It gives you that direct link to your utility, he noted. The PUC provides mostly objective analysis you can get a lot of data from them and they will help you understand that information, but its a different type of regulatory structure and a different kind of political structure. The city would also have the flexibility to incor-

COURIERphotos/Steven Felschundneff Karl Benjamins wife Beverly Benjamin, her daughter Kris Jones and her son-in-law Bob Jones listen to a eulogy on Saturday during Mr. Benjamins memorial service at Bridges Hall of Music in Claremont. The noted painter and Pomona College professor emeritus was remembered during the hour-long service as a dedicated artist and devoted family man.
Karl Benjamin: An openhearted spirit fueled a passion for painting
ll the things Karl Benjamin valued most art, music, family, and friends who had become like familywere in evidence at a celebration of his life held Saturday, October 13 at Bridges Hall of Music.
Mr. Benjamin, a renowned abstract painter and longtime Claremonter, died in July at the age of 86 The memorial offered an opportunity for the community to say goodbye and to acknowledge the depth of his artistic and personal impact. Scenes from Mr. Benjamins life and images of his canvases, known for their vivid juxtaposition of colors and shapes, were projected on a screen accompanied by Miles Davis Kind of Blue while a hushed crowd gathered in the 600-seat venue. After a welcome by Cecilia Conrad, acting president of Pomona College, and a live cello performance, friends and family took to the stage with tributes and remembrances. The first presenter was David Pagel, associate professor of art at Claremont Graduate University, who shared that, As a person, Karl was every bit as sen-

Mr. Pagel said it was a particular treat to watch Mr. Benjamin select the recipient of the Karl Benjamin Painting Award, a scjp;arsjo[ pffered annually to a promising CGU art student. The 2 would settle in, with sandwiches made by Mr. Benjamins wife Beverly or picked up from Wolfes market, and
commence reviewing the portfolios of hopeful applicants. It was a terrific education watching a non-verbal intelligence at work. He would zero in on the heart and soul of the work in seconds, Mr. Pagel said, noting that the key question for Mr. Benjamin was, Did the work have juice? Toward the end, he didnt talk
much, Mr. Pagel continued. But his eyes would just dance when he saw something cooking in the paintings. Mr. Benjamin stopped painting in the final years of his life, but had been so prolific that there were always new surprises. Mr. Pagel described going through a storage facility with Mr. Benjamin in preparation for an exhibition of the painters work, with their efforts yielding a treasure trove of the best work to come out of California. There were dozens of canvases spanning from the 1950s to the present, many of which Mr. Benjamin had not seen in decades. He was almost looking at the work as if somebody else had made it. He had this look on his face, like, Aw shucks, that artist was pretty good, Mr. Pagel said. Mr. Benjamin is known for his years teaching at Pomona College, where he was professor emeritus, and at Claremont Graduate University. He had a previous career, however, as an elementary school teacher. He taught first in Bloomington, California and then in the Chino Valley Unified School District from 1953 to 1976.

Cameron Munter joins Pomona College faculty

Cameron Munter, a former US Ambassador to both Pakistan and Serbia, will join the Pomona College faculty as a visiting professor of international relations for a 3-year term, beginning in January 2013. This spring, he will teach the course, Managing International Crisis. A retired career diplomat, Mr. Munter served as Americas ambassador to Pakistan from October 2010 until July 2012, leading a 2000-employee embassy while guiding US-Pakistan relations through a period of severe crisis, including the capture of Osama bin Laden and the latest phase of the Afghan war. He was also a director at the National Security Council under Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, executive assistant to the counselor of the State Department, and chief of staff of the NATO Enlargement Ratification Office at the State Department, in addition to serving other diplomatic assignments in Washington and overseas. Mr. Munter, who ran track as a student at Claremont High School, received his doctoral degree in modern European history from the Johns Hopkins University and his bachelors in German area studies from Cornell University. His parents, Leonard and Helen-Jeanne Munter, are still quite active in Claremont. The elder Mr. Munters most recent revelry can be seen on page one of this edition.
taught in Bloomington, took a few moments to share her early impression. Mr. Benjamin, who had not yet begun painting, was asked to institute an art component in his curriculum, in compliance with new state mandates. He may not have been experienced, but he jumped in with enthusiasm, according to Ms. Wells Our class was given the freedom of expression with crayons and chalk. We were asked to fill up the space with beautiful colors and interesting shapes, she said, emphasizing how Mr. Benjamins instructions would later be echoed in his own artistic oeuvre. Along with providing an eye-opening introduction to the creative process, one that impacted her entire life, having Mr. Benjamin as a teacher provided another perk for Ms. Wells and her fellow 10and 11-year-old girls. All the girls in our class thought our teacher was cute, she said. Mr. Benjamins children, Bruce and Beth Benjamin, each took a few moments to honor their father. The younger Mr. Benjamin praised his dad, saying he was not just a painter but a sacred geometrist who narrated his childhood with stories told in color. Ms. Benjamin, a writer, shared what it was like to live with her father, who maintained a rare balance between his artistic and familial priorities, in a poem called The Artist at Home. In a second poem, she shared a plan she made when her fathers health began to fail. He was famous for wearing Tshirts, often emblazoned with thoughtprovoking and left-leaning political slogans. When he died, she said, she planned to make his many T-shirts into prayer flags. She would hang them from a red rope in the backyard of the Benjamin house, displaying them for 30 days, all those slogans, skywriting, bouncing in the wind. After the ceremony, Ms. Benjamin

noted that the family had followed through with the idea, turning her dads T-shirts into prayer flags and displaying them with flourish. Louis Stern, the owner of Louis Stern Fine Arts in West Hollywood, the gallery that represented Mr. Benjamin for the final decade of his life, also spoke. Mr. Benjamin was certainly a dazzling painter, but Mr. Stern said he was equally struck by the Claremont painters personality. He was used to thinking of artists as somewhat brooding and often isolated. Nothing could be further from what Mr. Stern found when he first visited Mr. Benjamin at home, among his children and grandchildren. I was struck by the infectious love and affection, he said. I was very
caught off guardI didnt expect it. After a piano solo, Reverend Catharine Grier Carlson, retired chaplain of the Claremont Colleges, delivered the benediction, urging the audience to honor Mr. Benjamin by letting that vibrant and perfect color animate every part of our lives. The people who attended the celebration had an opportunity to soak up Mr. Benjamins lessons in color at a reception at the Pomona College Museum of Art. Guests mingled in the Lyon Garden, enjoying a spread of pastries and coffee, and had the opportunity to step into the museum to visit with a geometric painting in the colleges permanent collection, a vivid assemblage of yellow, orange and blue polygons known simply as #3, 1969.
His incredible ability to juxtapose colors, that was a gift, truly, marveled George Cuttress, owner of Cuttress Fine Art in Pomona. Mr. Cuttress had the opportunity to host a show for Mr. Benjamin many years ago, at a time before he began to attract international critical notice. Mr. Benjamin was amazed when his exhibition netted the sale of 5 paintings, the gallery owner said. Those patrons made a wise investment, according to Mr. Cuttress, gesturing to the museum display. I know very few artists who could step up to a canvas and bring in so many colors and make it work. Look how the color wraps around the side of the canvas. He was a true craftsman and artist.

Sweet treats in this bag of tricks

by John Pixley
h, Terror of Terrors! Oh, Horror of Horrors! Once again, it is that time. Once again, it is the time of year when that darkest of nights, the night when you rise up in all your ghastly glory, is fast approaching. Once again, All Hallows Eve, when you take your rightful place as ruler of all, if only for the night, will soon be upon us!
And, as always at this time, I have the rarest of pleasures and honors, as your most humble and loyal minion, to come before you and greet you as your night of nights looms. Yes, it is early, with a full 2 weeks to go, and I am aware that you are hearing from many, many others, but I do so very much appreciate once again having this brief time to report to you on the doings of the mortals in this oh-so-fair town of Claremont. I should tell you, oh, Mufti of the Miserable, that, as fair as Claremont claims to be, it certainly felt like your own dear Hell over the last months with a couple of heat waves. There were days when the temperature was over 100 degrees, plus nights that wouldnt cool down, just when everyone was going back to school and worka virtual New Years in this college town. The Los Angeles Times reported that August and September were unexpectedly hot and steamy, even for these parts. Whats more, as nice as it is now with cooler fall weather, suddenly everyone here, surely not unlike across America as Im sure youve been told, no doubt cant wait for November 6, when the election campaigning, featuring a tense, neck-and-neck presidential race, a do-or-die state tax proposition and billions of dollars in ads, not to mention the usual talking (and often screaming) heads will at last be over. But I must admit that, yes, as a theater-lover, I find the run-up to the election fascinating and cannot help but eat up all the power-struggle drama. I have plenty of other juicy morsels for you, oh, Prelate of the Piteous, starting with a good jolt at the beginning of this year, or just before it, when an outdoor nativity sceneof all thingsin front of the Methodist
observer
church was vandalized. What made this so perfectly ugly is that the scene, the latest in a series of provocative Christmastime tableaus, featured same-sex couples. The male figures were knocked over and the star removed, and the delicious cherry on top was this: it happened on Christmas Eve. There was a silent vigil a few evenings later, and the scene was left as it was with a hand-painted sign indicating that love prevails, but I know it will please you that the police labeled the vandalism a hate crime and, as far as I know, never found out who did it. The new year came with another lovely kick in the pants when, just a few weeks later, a homeless man died in front of city hall. To make this tragic incident all the more delightfully messy, the man was spending the night with the Occupy Claremont activists who had been camping there for 2 months, raising awareness of economic injustice. They were in the process of being booted out, supposedly because they were dangerous, as some people said. Although there was a procession and gathering in honor of the mans life, as well as a celebration of Occupy Claremont, and although Occupy Claremont continues to work to raise awareness of the homeless in Claremont, the activists have not been able to set up another encampment in a visible spot as promised by the city, and there is a real fearyes, yes, fear!that if more (or any) services were offered in Claremont for the homeless, more of the homeless would come here with what is commonly seen as their strange behavior and filthy habits. There seems to be considerable ambivalence, oh, Czar of the Confused, over how many people or what kind of people should be coming to Claremont or, more precisely, the Village. There has been much talk, as always, about attracting people and business to the Vil-
lage but, after a couple years, a popular weekly street fair wasnt held this summer. I didnt hear any explanation as to why this people-drawing event was halted, but there was a complaint that the Family Festival was too much like a carnival or county fair, along with the unsavory characters they attract along with Hot-Dog-on-a-Stick. There was a great controversy this spring over the firing of a beloved, longtime elementary school principal. One young girl had supposedly sexually harassed another on the playground, and the principal was accused of not dealing with the situation properly by reporting it to the authorities. Many were outraged, insisting he was a wonderful man and a terrific principal, and loudly protesting the firing. The man was eventually allowed to return to teaching, but Im sure youll be happy to know that the mess came to a head just as a new school superintendent came to Claremont. Im sure it will also warm the cockles of whatever heart you do have, oh, Ruler of the Rude, to hear that there continued to be lots of fiery political letters in the COURIER, many having little or nothing to do with Claremont, especially after there was a city-sponsored concert celebrating the Fourth of July concert given by an evangelical Baptist church choir. There has also been a giant bruhaha over the local water company charging exorbitant rates and wanting to charge more. Many Claremonters are fit to be tiedI know you love that!and the city is looking into taking over the water service. Recently, there was a delightful letter smackdown between the water companys PR guy and the city council, with a nice bevy of charges and countercharges. And, in the last month, the traffic and transportation commission recommended that the speed limit be raised on 10 streets. The reasoning? In order for speeding tickets to be enforced (or not thrown out in court), the limits had to be raised, because drivers are going faster. Oh, yes! I thought youd enjoy that insanity! Now, the city council, because of public outcry, did recently decide to set aside the proposal and look into other traffic-calming solutions, but it may well be that, because of strict state regulations, the speed limits will have to be raised anyway.
In defense of Proposition 30
Dear Editor: In his viewpoint article of October 10, former school board candidate Jeff Hammill criticizes Proposition 30, but offers no viable alternative in support of public schools. His basic plan appears to be: Step 1Let educational programs deteriorate. Step 2Hope someone figures out what to do next. Mr. Hammill begins his opinion piece by declaring that our school board members are victims of the Stockholm Syndrome, which renders them incapable of opposition to their captor, the state government. This psychological analysis does not address the imminent disaster of trigger cuts facing all California school districts if Prop 30 does not pass. Does Mr. Hammill believe that our school board should simply ignore the prospect of a massive budget cut, and take no action to prevent it?

Mr. Hammill faults Prop 30 for being based on certain economic assumptions, as if any budgeting process can proceed without assumptions. Does he have a plan that is not based on assumptions? He goes on to complain that Prop 30 does not guarantee the funds taken in will go to education. Does this indicate that Mr. Hammill would prefer inflexible earmarks as a means of determining state budgets? Responsible supporters of public school funding consider Prop 30 the best way for school districts as well as the state to avoid further budgetary damage. Mr. Hammills first suggestion for sound funding is that we stop supporting politicians of both parties who simply tell us they want to spend or invest more in education. Well, okay, then what? Spend less? What should be cut? Spend differently? In what way? No specifics are provided. Next, Mr. Hammill criticizes Prop 98 guarantees that have protected public education funding to some extent since 1988. This seems to contradict his earlier implication that earmarks are good. It is not clear that Mr. Hammill has any consistent plan, other than to cut public school funding. In his final point, Mr. Hammill complains that school districts in California do not have enough local control. Once again, he offers no solutions. He also

Dave Nemer Claremont
Dear Editor: The 2012 election is drawing to a close. We have less than a month to go and I cant wait for it to end. I have been a political junky since I was 7 years old but, sad to say, this campaign has not been one that I will remember with fondness. It has become too much like the Super Bowl, more hype than substance. I realize that politicians are known for stretching the truth, but this election makes me feel like I am living in some alternative universe where the truth has become lies and lies have become the truth. And in the process our Republic and our Democracy has not been served. Where is the indignation, the outrage for all of the lies and flip-flops? The debates are watched with great anticipation but what does the media and the public talk about? They talk about how many times one candidate smiled or laughed. Style has triumphed over substance. There have not been any speeches made that will be remembered or ideas presented that have caught our eye or
our imagination. We have had promises and plans with no details, and this has occurred during a time when many of our fellow citizens are concerned about their futures and those of their children. Money has been spent like never before. Former Governor Romney has offered a tax cut for everyone and he has asked us to take the plan on faith. His plan is perfect for Halloween, plenty of sweets for everyone but well have to pay the price and need the dentist afterwards. What is most distressing is the level of discourse, or the lack of it. We have one political party that has cynically and unashamedly gone after the white vote and, in the process, has proceeded to attack women. They have chosen to have a class war, deriding the so-called 47 percent. They have sought to divide us into the job creators and the takers. What utter nonsense! People who work, who earn their money, are not takers. Soldiers and retirees have put in their time and paid their dues, they are not users. It is my hope that we survive this election, and go forward into the future. We need to look at what is best for the nation, not what is best for a political party. All in all, when this election has had its say, we need to iron out our differences and find common ground for the good of all. What the American people want is a leader with a vision and a plan for the future that includes all of us.

He was quite active in efforts to raise money and support for the theater renovation project currently underway at Claremont High School. Mr. Meyer possessed a love for life that was unmatched by anyone who knew him and he will be dearly missed, family shared.

Henrietta Gregory
Mother, musician, financial wiz
Henrietta Birch Gregory of Claremont died on October 11, 2012. She was 90. Ms. Gregory was born on June 7, 1922 in Louisville, Kentucky to William and Julia Birch. As a senior in high school, she met Lyman Gregory at Midway Christian Church and they were married on December 14, 1942 in Covington, Kentucky. Mr. Gregory was in the US Air Force and afterwards pursued a career as a pilot. He conducted aerial mapping for many years and Ms. Gregory often joined her husband in his single-engine Cessna, operating the camera while he navigated the plane. They ranged far and wide on such excursions, and Ms. Gregory was later proud to say she had traveled to 46 states. She continued to travel widely even after the birth of her son Gary and throughout her life visited exotic locales in Europe, the Caribbean and South America. Life acquired a new flavor when the family moved to California in 1954, settling 5 years later in Claremont. Ms. Gregory was temporarily grounded when her family grew with the addition of 2 girls, and she settled into motherhood. She was active in her kids activities like her daughters Campfire Girls troop. While they were growing up, her primary focus remained on her children. Ms. Gregory was a substitute teacher with the Upland School District for a couple years and worked for a time in the registrars office at Mt. San Antonio College. She was an avid seamstress and knitter, often making clothes for herself and her children. She was also a fine cook, noted for her savory beans and vegetable soup. A gifted piano player, she provided a rich musical backdrop to their upbringing. She was also adept at organ and accordion and loved playing hymns, classical music and hits from her youth. Ms. Gregory opted to minor in music when she returned to school at 54, double majoring in economics and business administration at the University of La Verne. She loved reading almost as much as music, poring through biographies and business books and reading the newspaper from cover to cover each day. Ms. Gregory also had a knack for numbers and was the one family members turned to when they needed help with helping young people launch their college careers, she was quite financially giving. Ms. Gregory was preceded in death by her husband, Lyman Gregory, in 1995. She was also preceded in death by her son, Gary Gregory, her parents, William and Julia Birch, and her sister, Marie Thomas. She is survived by her daughters and sons-in-law, Lauren and Victor Herbert and Leesa and Matt Morlee; by her grandchildren, Rebekah and Angela Herbert and Mason and Makenna Morlee; by her niece, Julia Lannom; and by her grandnieces,Margie Wheeler, Connie Lannom and Vickie Hayward. Services will be held on October 20, 2012 at 10 a.m. at Todd Memorial Chapel, 570 N. Garey Ave., Pomona. Burial will follow at Oak Park Cemetery, 410 Sycamore Ave. in Claremont. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial contributions be made to Boys Republic, 1907 Boys Republic Dr., Chino Hills, CA 91709.
financial matters and accounting. After graduating from the University of La Verne, Ms. Gregory lent her business acumen to Boys Republic in Chino, serving for 16 years as business manager for the charitable organizations annual Christmas wreath campaign. She also found time to get involved in Claremont politics, helping friends run for city council and lobbying for local infrastructure improvements. Family shared that Ms. Gregory was very caring and that, when it came to
New fee ensures historic homes meet city standards
istoric homeowners in Claremont looking to apply for the citys Mills Act tax abatement program will now be subject to yearly fees.
The annual $217 expense is just one of several changes to the programs criteria and procedures unanimously approved by the Claremont City Council last week. The changes were enacted after a resolution drafted by the architectural commission in September. Through the newly-introduced fees, given support by Claremont Heritage, city officials hope to make up for costs associated with the staff time used in annual reviews of the historic homes on contract. There is no mechanism for recovering the costs right now, said associ-
ate planner Joanne Hwang, who estimated 2.2 hours of staff time per review. Through the Mills Act, enacted statewide in 1972, owners of eligible historic homes may enter into a property agreement with the city to preserve and maintain their homes. Those accepted into the program are granted a property tax deduction. Each local government establishes its own criteria for participation in the city Mills Act program. In 2000, the city of Claremont contracted with those homeowners who had a historic home in danger of deterioration or demolition. The criteria were expanded in 2009 to include all homes listed on the citys historic register, which includes about 500 singlefamily residences. Though participants will now be subject to new costs, the benefits continue to make the program a profitable
venture for eligible homeowners, according to Ms. Hwang. The application is hardly a deterrent as members of the program receive an estimated $4000 in property tax savings, she says. In addition to approving the new application fee, the council made several changes to qualifying criteria for the program. In order to apply in the past, homeowners were required to propose a list of significant improvements to the home that would not impact the architectural, historical or aesthetic integrity. However, many found the term very subjective, according to Ms. Hwang. It does not provide a clear guideline, she said. The adopted resolution separates the term significant improvements into 2 categories to clear confusion. Improvements must now be both quantitative and qualitative: the cost of improve-
ments must match the tax savings to be received in the first 10 years of the program contract and will not include minor or routine fixes like tree trimming, replacement of a water heater or air-conditioning unit, etc. Owners will also now be notified when the application review exceeds $1000, instead of the previous cap of $1500. This is consistent with the current practice, Ms. Hwang said. Other updates include providing applications with more general information such as how the program deposit will work, and the option of opting out of the application process. For more on the Mills Act or for an application for the program, visit the citys website at www.ci.claremont.ca.us or call 399-5460.

It was the 50th anniversary of the local elementary school, and student, staffers and alums were determined to mark the occasion with a bang. Along with food trucks selling wares ranging from pulled pork sandwiches to cupcakes to breakfast platters, there was also an array of child-friendly activities and midway-style games. There was a 1950s theme to the celebration, so many attendees showed up in retro duds like poodle skirts, cuffed jeans and scarf-bedecked ponytails. The occasion began with a flag ceremony with Boy Scout Troop 407 serving as the color guard, led by Eagle Scouts Cody Schock, 18, and Doug Mendelsohn, 15, on bugle. The Mountain View Girl Scout troop took to the stage singing Youre a Grand Old Flag. Students from each grade then performed golden oldies, beginning with the kindergartners rendition of Lollipop. Next, it was time for presentations by campus luminaries. Current Mountain View Principal Clara Dehmer praised the school for its diversity and family-like sense of community. Leonard Munter, founding principal of Mountain View, quipped that the crowd had gathered to celebrate theYankee 3-1 win over Baltimore earlier in the day. Nancy Arce, Mountain Views first PFA presi-

dent, noted that the inaugural PFA had helped plant all of the trees at the school, including the towering pines. While the songs and remarks went well, there was a small hitch to a subsequent ceremony. Ms. Dehmer and Mr. Munter had planned to release 50 butterflies over the heads of spectators and onto the Mountain View field. Given it was one of the coldest evenings of the season, the insects seemed reluctant to leave the cozy box in which they were held. With some coaxing from Mr.
Munter, the butterflies eventually made their exodus and the crowd dissolved, heading for the food trucks or various carnival attractions. Those in attendance offered high praise for the school, including Brandi Burns. Ms. Burns has 2 generations of Mountain View children. Her 2 oldest kids went there in the 1990s and now she has twin 3rd grade daughters who are Mustangs as well as members of the schools Girl Scout troop. They couldnt be anywhere else, she said. This school is beyond belief. Its completely awesome. Were a crazy quilt. We are everyone and everything. One of the best lessons here is to be accepting of all kinds of people, which gives you a broader base from which to deal with life. Perhaps the festivitieswhich included an arts and crafts booth, a wheel of fortune game and a photo booth with costumes and propsinspired them, but the kids in attendance were equally enthusiastic about Mountain View. I like it because when its the 50th anniversary, you get to throw pie at your teacher, said 7year-old Jasmine Gardia, referring to a booth where takers were encouraged to hurl a whipped cream-topped sponge at intrepid volunteers from the Mountain View staff. I like Mountain View because its cool and the teachers are nice to you, added Ken Corbajal, 7.

On 11/14/2012 at 09:00 AM, Vineyard Ballroom at Doubletree Hotel Los Angeles-Norwalk, 13111 Sycamore Drive, Norwalk, CA 90650, MTC FINANCIAL INC. dba TRUSTEE CORPS, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust Recorded on 03/16/2005 as Instrument No. 05 0602899 of official records in the Office of the Recorder of Los Angeles County, California, executed by ROMER L. ITURALDE AND MENCHU SORE ITURALDE, HUSBAND AND WIFE AS JOINT TENANTS, as Trustor(s), in favor of JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A. as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold as is. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 975 HEATON MOOR DR, WALNUT, CA 91789 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee`s Sale is estimated to be $390,957.35 (Estimated), provided, however, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary`s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier`s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee`s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder`s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. 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 recorders 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 Auction.com at 800.280.2832 for information regarding the Trustees Sale or visit the Internet Web site address on the previous page for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA09000841-12-1. 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.
