Dear Editor: On March 28, I was finishing my walk on the Claremont Wilderness Park trail. I arrived to the entrance at 7 p.m. I, along with many others, was stopped and ticketed by a Claremont police officer for leaving the park after 6:30 p.m., the posted time for park closure. I actually hadnt noticed the signs specific closure times, as I was checking out the new parking lot. Previously, I believe there were signs that indicated the park closed at dusk in the older parking lot. I have been walking this trail for the decade Ive been living in Claremont and had never seen a group of police officers lined up to catch hikers. I never take a car to the park. I do not walk in the hills in the dark. I was actually hurrying home to avoid being up there in the dark. After being written up for the $50 ticket, I did examine the newly posted sign closely. On April 1, the park closure time changes to 7:30 p.m. I find it particularly irritating that I was issued a ticket 3 days prior to the closure time changing by an hour. Certainly, the ticketing had nothing to do with maintaining my safety or the safety of others. The officers were not friendly. This was not about getting hikers to pay attention to the signs. It was simply a way to enforce the new rules and collect money. Dozens of tickets were stuffed under their windshields and their badges. I dont understand the need to take such a hard line in the opening days of the parks new rules and parking facility. I object to the size of the fine and to the inflexible and arbitrary way that Claremont is approaching this issue.

Goodbye, Claremont

Dear Editor: On the afternoon of March 27, I decided to go hiking at the Claremont Wilderness Trail at the top of Mills Avenue. I had not been there for a couple of years and had noticed how beautiful it looked. I also noticed a sign stating that beginning in April, parking permits would have to be obtained to park in the lots. Soon after entering the park, I came upon a 2-foot rattlesnake in the middle of the trail. One female jogger had her headphones on as she stepped no more than a foot away from it. I called her attention to the situation and she responded with a thank you and began taking pictures of it with her cell phone. I took it upon myself to stay there and caution hikers and joggers of the situation. Several people wanted to kill the rattler, while others would have been oblivious of its presence. After about 20 minutes, the snake slithered back into the brush. Although I was behind in my 5-mile hike/run, I felt good about possibly preventing someone from receiving a snake bite. When I finished my workout and approached the exit gate, I noticed 50 or more people standing there unable to exit. I looked at my watch and noticed the time was 6:40 p.m. The Claremont police were not allowing anyone to leave until they received a $50 parking violation ticket. I was outraged at this and watched as more hikers came down from the hills and got into line. I stayed out of line and spoke to many of the people. I was not alone in the feeling that the park had always been open until dusk. It certainly was not dusk at 6:40 p.m. The Claremont police officers were quick to point out a new sign that read

GOVERNING OURSELVES
Agendas for city meetings are available at www.ci.claremont.ca.us Tuesday, April 9 City Council Council Chamber, 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 10 Architectural Commission Council Chamber, 7 p.m. Park closes at 6:30 p.m. I did not see the sign on my way in and since I had not been there in over a year, I was still under the impression that it closed at dusk. I now must re-evaluate my act of humanity, playing the guardian role to both the rattlesnake and the public. Had it not been for my 20 minutes of being a Good Samaritan, I would have been out of the park, completely unaware of the situation. I regret breaking my bond with Claremont. I will miss my visits to the Village, but cannot and will not spent another dime in a city where this type of robbery takes place. Benjamin W. Boetel

CGU holds public forum before moving on master plan

he Claremont Graduate University may already be underway with its 20-year master plan, but school officials are electing to take a step back before continuing the universitys move forward.

CGU administrators held the first of 2 neighborhood meetings this week as the graduate university seeks input from residents prior to taking the next step with environmental consultants. A second open meeting will take place on Monday, April 15 at 6:30 p.m. in the Tranquada Student Services Center, 757 College Way. In late February, the Claremont City Council unanimously approved an agreement with a consultant to move forward with an Environmental Impact Report for the master plan. Being at an all-time high it would be testing waters not to continue in that vein, noted Councilmember Joe Lyons at the February 26 meeting. But councilmembers had one stipulation. The plan was approved with the added detail that CGU was encouraged to make good on its promise to hold a public review of the plan. CGU plans to expand enrollment in its masters program while maintaining enrollment in the PhD program. In order to accommodate the growing numbers, administrators want to expand services while also adding a more cohesive look to the currently muddy borders of the CGU campus. To accommodate the project, an additional 200-plus parking spaces and 626,933 gross square feet will be needed, according to orchestrators of the 20-year master plan. The plan further proposes, among other aspects, to construct a new parking lot between Foothill and Twelfth, build 2 new multi-purpose buildings to replace

existing infrastructure within the same area as the new parking structure, construct a 3-story building with 100 new parking spaces, replace the Jagels building, renovate open space between Harper East, McManus and Stauffer Halls to create a commons area and create a Campus Walk connecting the various aspects of the campus beginning on Dartmouth and ending on Eighth. Additionally, Twelfth Street between College and Dartmouth and Eleventh Street between College and Dartmouth will be privatized. The council added their recommendation for residents concerned that CGU would not be following its promise to meet with the community on college construction plans. Claremont resident Peter Farquhar vocalized the concern on behalf of other residents in his neighborhood. Mr. Farquhar noted that other institutions of the Claremont Colleges, namely Claremont McKenna College and Harvey Mudd, have followed through in adding residents voices to the discussions of proposed expansion plans. Even tonight, Pomona College is holding a neighborhood meeting...thats one of the reasons why more neighbors are not here tonight at this city council meeting, Mr. Farquhar pointed out to council on February 26. CGU should be no exception to this process, Mr. Farquhar further asserted. I realize there will be opportunities for the public to comment on the scope of the environmental concerns later. What Im pointing out now is now the absence of any preliminary review of the substance on the proposed master plan possibly sets the public up in an adversarial relationship from the very start with the environmental issues, Mr. Farquhar said. Itll likely involve greater costs and delays and needless efforts and disagreement as we go forward.

[Public input] is far more likely to produce good results for everyone, he finished. The council agreed, and Brian Desatnik, director of community development, added that city administrators had suggested the meetings to CGU from the getgo. It was his impression that they were planning to hold a few, though none had been planned to his knowledge. The citys hands were tied as the plan had already been deemed complete in December and, once deemed complete, there is only a certain time frame the city has to hire a consultant for the EIR to comply with the Permit Streamlining Act. Here, the magic time issue for us is that once that application is deemed complete, then the clock starts to tick, Ms. Carvalho explained. The clock has started on us, unfortunately, in this case such that we have to begin this process. A month later, CGU is heeding the councils recommendation. CGU is interested in maintaining positive relationships with the neighbors located adjacent to the campus, said Steve Garcia, senior vice president for finance and administration at CGU. We are following through on earlier commitments. Feedback at the first meeting primarily centered on parking and traffic flow. CGU officials assured residents of their intention to contract with a traffic engineer to develop a parking study in the hopes of addressing most of the issues raised, according to Mr. Garcia. Residents will have a second chance to view a presentation on the 20-year master plan and add their opinions. The final community forum will take place on Monday, April 15 at 6:30 p.m. in the Tranquada Student Services Center, 757 College Way.

The signs are posted, but will residents obey the law?

sers of the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park may have until Monday, April 15 before enforcement of metered parking goes into effect, but hikers are not exempt from the newly-enforced park hours, as many have discovered.
The new park hours, a set of 12 rotating times, were posted to a board near the park entrance early last month. Police chose to strictly enforce those hours with Beginning April 15, Claremont Hillsides Wilderness Park users will need a parking permit if they are parking in the parking lots located on North Mills Avenue. Cars parked in the 2 lots serving the Wilderness Park will need a resident, annual visitor or daily metered permit to avoid citation. Due to a manufacturing problem, the enforcement of the meters and the permits is being delayed until Monday, April 15 until all repairs can be made. Resident parking permits are free with proof of residency. Annual visitor permits are $75 until June 1. Parking permits are available at City Hall and the Hughes Community Center.

Chief Cooper believes officers need to begin strict enforcement right away because of increased safety issues at the park. A few months ago, police employed the use of another agencys helicopter as first responders searched for a man lost on the trails after hours. It took 3 hours of searching before the man was found. Not long before that, Chief Cooper said police came to the aid of a woman who ran out of the park after hours, screaming with a small dog in her arms.

Mirror-gazing man gets wrestled to the ground


A man was left in an embarrassing situation on Monday, April 1 when his suspicions ran wild. Police arrived in the 400 block of South Indian Hill Boulevard in response to a suspected vehicle burglary in process. As the story goes, the man had spotted another individual burglarizing his car. Sunday, March 31 Eighteen-year-old Rain Felko of Juno, Alaska walked into the Claremont jail cell barefoot with one sandal on her hand. At least thats how police found her near North Mills Avenue and Platt Boulevard. Police allege Ms. Felko was mumbling to herself and smelled strongly of alcohol. She was held until sober. Her other sandal has not been located. Monday, April 1 A guitar and keyboard, along with speakers and other electronic equipment, were stolen from Good Shepherd Lutheran Church between Sunday evening and Monday morning. The crook gained entry through an unlocked side door. Stolen loot totals an estimated $3000. Police came to the scene, where the man and the assumed crook were wrestling on the ground. Turns out, it was all a misunderstanding, according to Lt. Ciszek. The supposed burglar was reportedly just inebriated and looking at himself in the cars side mirror. There was no entry made to the car. Tuesday, April 2 A suspected sprinkler bandit, believed to be responsible for about $300 worth of stolen sprinkler heads in Claremont, may have cut loose his last brass sprinkler. At least for a while. Police arrested 52-year-old Stewart Sanquist on Tuesday, believed to be the man responsible for several extra-dry lawns in Claremont over the past couple weeks. Police caught up with the Montclair resident after locating the recycling center receiving his stolen loot. An employee informed police that Mr. Sanquist had recycled an estimated 50 brass sprinkler heads within a several day period. Mr. Sanquist was arrested at his home. A glass pipe with methamphetamine was found in his pocket.

p.m. A witness claimed to have heard an explosion and scream for help in the 1900 block of Judson Court. Officers arrived on scene to find 27-year-old Austin Goodwin suffering from burns to his body after a chemical experiment blew up in his face, according to Claremont Lieutenant Mike Ciszek. Mr. Goodwin was allegedly in the process of turning marijuana into hash oil, Lt. Ciszek confirmed. First responders from the Los Angeles County Fire Department were also on scene and treated Mr. Goodwin for his burns before transporting him to Pomona Valley hospital and then the Arrowhead Regional Medical Center for further treatment. Follow-up investigation continues. **** Yelling doesnt get you anywhere, or at least thats how the old saying goes. But it wasnt entirely the case for 51year-old Robyn Taylor, seen screaming at cars as he attempted to hitchhike near the Chevron/McDonalds in south Claremont Friday morning. The screaming fit earned him the attention of the cops, who found the Rancho Cucamonga resident had an outstanding warrant for trespassing. Mr. Taylor secured a ride to jail.

The curtain rises on new and improved CHS theater

veritable Whos Who of Claremont descended on Claremont High School on Thursday, March 28 to celebrate the grand opening of the Don P. Fruechte Theatre for the Performing Arts.
The afternoon event began with remarks by local luminaries such as Mayor Opanyi Nasiali, school board member Hilary LaConte, CHS Principal Brett OConnor and Matthew Lyons, assistant to Assemblyman Chris Holden. CUSD Superintendent Jim Elsasser also spoke, giving thanks to all of those who helped the renovation move from plan to reality, including district staffers, the school board, the Theater Renovation Committee and the community at large. The partnership between the state, district and community is heartening to see, said Mr. Elsasser, who cited a quote by President Franklin D. Roosevelt: People acting together as a group can accomplish things which no individual acting alone could ever hope to bring about. Of course, Mr. Fruechte, the founding CHS theater director for whom the upgraded venue was named, was on hand too. Its such an honor. Not many people living get to have a building named after them. It doesnt even resemble the theater it used to be, Mr. Fruechte marveled. Notable attendees also included City Manager Tony Ramos, Baldy View ROP Supervisor Shelley Adams and school board members Mary Caenepeel and Steven Llanusa. The other unofficial guests of honor were a slew of current and former CSH thespians, excited to see the new digs. One of these was Andrew Lindvall, a 2010 CHS graduate on break from school at St. Olaf College in Minnesota where its so cold your tears freeze. Mr. Lindvall is majoring in theater, an avocation inspired by his time as a CHS theater student under the tutelage of current theater director Krista Elhai. Ms. Elhai was one of the first teachers I ever had who would give you the responsibility to do something and expect you to do it, he said. Theres an intensity that has prepared me for everything Ive done thereafter. You dont just learn art here, you learn occupational skills. It is the vocational emphasis of the CHS Theatre Department that netted the district a $1.5 million matching Career and Technical Education grant from the State Allocation Board for the Theater Renovation Project. The remainder of the budget came from a $1.5 million bridge loan from CUSD, plus a remarkable $400,000 raised by CHS theater boosters. Mr. OConnor noted that students who have gone through the CHS theater program have moved on to careers in art, media and entertainment across the country.

COURIER photos/Steven Felschundneff CHS Theater Director Krista Elhai shares a hug with Teddie Warner following the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new Don F. Fruechte Theatre for the Performing Arts on March 28. Ms. Warners child is just one of many Claremont kids taught by Ms. Elhai over the last 2 decades.

Attendees at the ribbon-cutting, including financial donors, look for the chairs they sponsored at the Don F. Fruechte Theatre for the Performing Arts on March 28. For the first time in the CHS theaters 40-year history, attendees can enjoy performances from fixed seats rather than folding chairs.

To have students leaving with employable skills is good for the school, good for the community and good for the country. This is a program we can be very proud of, he said. Mr. OConnor said time has flown since the June 6 groundbreaking for the project. Its true that considerable work was undertaken over a short period of time. The new theater includes a 1600square-foot lobby with a ticket office and handicap-accessible restrooms plus 3500

square feet of new classroom space to accommodate scene and costume construction, makeup, costume changes and prop storage. The interior of the theater has been stepped, stadium-style, to accommodate more seating and provide a better view of the stage. Anyone who has sat through a 2-hour CHS theater production on a hard folding chair will also be happy to hear that the venue is now graced by 266 permanent, cushioned flip-up seats. Mr. Lindvall reflected on his time in

the old theater, whichwith its cramped quarters, insufficient air conditioning and cobbled-together lookhis friend, fellow 2010 CHS graduate Sean Moylan, generously characterized as quaint. We did amazing things with what we had, Mr. Lindvall said. And now with this building, I know the theater department is going to do even more. After remarks and a ceremonial ribbon-cutting, the crowd, thankful to get out of the heat and into the cool of an upgraded air conditioning system, headed into the theater for a tour. The set design for the upcoming CHS Theatre Alumni Gala, sheer hanging fabric panels illuminated by stage lights, showed off the stage to best advantage, while brass nameplates gleamed on the armrests of the army of sponsored theater seats. Photographs and ephemera showcasing the storied history of CHS theater are scattered throughout the venue, including a selection of hand-lettered, handdrawn posters from a bygone era. The ticket prices on some of the handbills, including 75-cent admission to a production of The Princess and the Pea, were particularly nostalgia-evoking. One of the centerpieces of the lobby is a framed painting of Mr. Fruechte. Created by CHS alumna Sarah Smith, known as Sally Phelps during her time at the high school, it shows Mr. Fruechte during the early years of his 1963-1994 tenure.

If its bad here in Claremont...


by John Pixley

n the Page 2 column in the Los Angeles Times 2 or 3 weeks ago, Gale Holland wrote about how absolutely insane the No Parking signs are in some parts of LA. She wrote about there being, in many cases, several signs on one pole with arrows pointing in different and sometimes the same directions and with different hours and days in which parking is forbidden. It is more than enough to drive many people crazy and municipal revenue way up.
A short time later, there was a letter in the paper responding to the column. The writer said that the signs are perfectly clear, that no parking from 8 to 11 a.m on Wednesdays to the left means no parking from 8 to 11 a.m on Wednesdays to the left. According to the writer, the problem isnt bad signs but bad readers. The letter writer is clearly someone who works for the city or someone who never smiles and doesnt have much to door both. I say Ms. Holland is right, that the signs are crazy and maddening. Both the column and the letter made me think about when I went up to Mt. Baldy Village a week or so earlier. It was a bright Saturday morning, right after what may well have been the last significant storm of the season, with snow low on the mountain, and I had gotten it into my head to go have breakfast at the Mt. Baldy Lodge. Why not? There was snow and sun, and I have never been to the Mt. Baldy Lodgeor not in years and years and years. It was a nifty mini-getaway, less than half an hour away, to a white, very laid-back back-in-time world, and the cinnamon rolls really are terrific, as Id heard! (In fact, Mt. Baldy was featured as a weekender in the next days Los Angeles Times Travel section.) But the trip up was something of a jolt. The intersection of Mills and Mt. Baldy Road was, to say the least, a real scene. I had heard and read about the crazy parking situation there, but I didnt realize until that morning just how bonkers it is. No wonder there are new parking lots being put in and new poli-

observer
cies established! Even if it can be argued that the residents here knew what they were getting into when they decided to live next to the Wilderness Park, I can see why they are upset. With car after car after car jammed in along the side of the roads as well as in the parking lot, it reminded me of Pacific Coast Highway on a Saturday afternoon in July. Or, more so, when I was talked into going to an overnight concert out in the desert years ago and there were more people than I thought existedwho were they, and where did they come from?parked every which way along the dirt road. But, really, come to think of it, it wasnt unlike the streets near the entrance to Runyon Canyon in Hollywood. I can see that its not unusual to have to park several blocks away and have a bit of a hike before getting to this popular trail. I guess the residents on these streets (mostly in apartments, it appears) have garages or parking permitsor I hope they do. Then again, this is pretty much the case all over Hollywood and West Hollywood and lots of other places around LA, like Santa Monica. Often, when I go to a play at one of the dozens of small storefront theaters, I have to park blocks away so I have to try to get there even earlier. When I get a spot nearby, I feel quite lucky. Score! Which brings up those parking tickets and all that revenue the city gets. Im not like some friends who collect them like frequent flyer milesone to the point of having their drivers license suspendedbut I have gotten 2 or 3. Getting a parking ticket in LA is like playing a game of chess one cant win. Try fighting one. Its always checkmate, usually due to a sign not seen. I once went to an appeal hearing in a warren of offices in an underground mall near city hall, which made me think of going down a rabbit hole with the mad rabbit, to mix

metaphors and literary references. That I dont remember if I won or not probably means I didnt. That wasnt as bad as last summer when, again near LA City Hall, I went to a free outdoor Friday lunchtime concert by the Belle Brigade at the California Plaza on Bunker Hill. I was thinking it was pretty sweet to be seeing a folk-y band that I liked hearing on KCRW up close while munching on a picnic lunch on a nice sunny day. That is until I went to leave the underground parking lot after a bit more than a hour and was charged $43, which they gladly took on my credit card. Ouch! And where were the signs, big signs, this time? Parking in LA is even more crazy when there are events like the Day of the Dead festival at the Hollywood Forever cemetery, the Gay Pride Festival and, when it was going on, the annual Sunset Junction Street Fair. Its not unusual to have to park many blocks away. My worst parking experience in LA, worse than the $43 fee, was when I went to Sunset Junction about a dozen years ago, back before it got too big for its britches and when it cost something like $3 to get in. I thought I was being clever parking in a nearby store lot, only to find, when I left after the last band played that Saturday night, that my van was towed away. So there we wereme in my wheelchair and my companionat 11 p.m. on a Saturday night with no vehicle to drive home to Claremont. Luckily, I had been taking the then-new Metrolink trains to Union Station a lot and knew something about the LA buses. And, luckily, with some advice from someone on the street and some walking, we were able to take a bus to the 480 bus to Claremont, with there being no late Saturday trains at the time. (Also luckily, it was a warm August night, and I was okay with no shirt in my overalls.) Unfortunately, even as it was nice to discover that the drivers were friendlier at that late hour, we had to wait an hour in El Monte after missing a connection and didnt get into Claremont until 4 a.m. Still, it was amazing that we were a block from my house and great to know that getting home from LA late on a Saturday night without a car is actually possible. And that things arent so bad in Claremont.

Dear Editor: At their March 12 meeting, the Claremont City Council debated a resolution for (1) our mayor to officially join New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's group Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG), and (2) to endorse Sen. Dianne Feinsteins assault weapons ban legislation. As it happens, however, other interesting information has come to light. While launching their Gun Owners Against Illegal Mayors project, Alan Gottlieb, founder of the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) had this to say about MAIG, and its founder Mr. Bloomberg, Michael Bloomberg created [MAIG] to further his personal agenda of public disarmament. But, within the [mayoral] ranks of his organization, our research has found several politicians who have been convicted of various serious crimes, thus making it impossible for them to finish their terms. The SAF found MAIG mayors that have been convicted of all sorts of crimes, including perjury, embezzlement, attempted child molestation, assault, racketeering, assaulting a police officer, bribery, fraud, money laundering and domestic violence charges, while others have engaged in tax evasion, extortion, child pornography and trademark counterfeiting. In short, as a result of their convictions, many of these elitist MAIG mayors are now prohibited from owning firearms themselves. The crimes they were convicted of suggest they are public enemies, rather than the public servants they promote themselves as. Perhaps Mr. Bloomberg should worry about background checks on his MAIG colleagues, rather than on law-abiding gun owners.

Water matters
Dear Editor: In the March 15 COURIER, Tobias Hecht asked What else could we do with $54 million? (the appraised value of Claremonts water system): free day care, hospice service, improve support for teachers... If we had that choice I, too, would be wary of buying the Claremont water systembut we dont. The money is not available for such things. It is the money now profiting Golden State Water Company, about $8 million per year, that we could save and use to buy the system. How do we do that? The estimated annual saving if we owned our water system as neighboring cities do is about $8 million. That money could be used to purchase 30-year revenue bonds, paid for entirely by water users, worth at least $150 million. There would be no need to raise taxes, or take money from Claremonts general fund, or raise water rates (unless the system costs more than that $150 million). In coming years we, not Golden State Water Company, would set Claremonts water rates. Thats the way to keep millions in savings in the community for other needs. Best of all, we will control our own water future. Water does matter. Control of this vital resource will determine our future in critical ways. Lets have a reasoned weekly discussion of water issues in the COURIER. Im not a water expert, but I have followed water issues in Claremont

The SAF continued, [Our] research discovered a far higher rate of criminal activity within the ranks of the Mayors Against Illegal Guns than among the ranks of more than 8 million [American] citizens who are licensed to carry concealed firearms in 49 states. Whats truly puzzling, is that our city council would even consider associating itself with such an unsavory group of criminals, in the form of MAIG. It is also astonishing, that our city council would accept for consideration such a Constitution-hostile resolution, which would presume to speak for all of Claremont on a national issue, an issue over which the city council has no jurisdiction. Even the timing is troubling. At this momentwhen were looking at a possible water company purchase, and need to be united as a communitysome people have chosen to push this highly divisive wedge issue.

Fixing the filibuster problem


Dear Editor: Please write to your US Senators to ask them to work with their colleagues to reform the filibuster rules. We believe this can and should be accomplished through consensusa consensus that will preserve the underlying values of the current rules but will end the abuses of recent decades The Senates tradition of full debate on critical and complex national issues is important for our democracy. Quick and unconsidered action is often a mistake. At the same time, particular rules that have the effect of tying the Senate in procedural knots

or that block the Senate from debating a particular bill or subject, are not consistent with this tradition and undermine the basic tenets of representative government. While it may be possible for a simple majority to change the rules of the Senate at the beginning of a congressional session, the prospect of biennial rules changes on partisan votes would fundamentally change the role of the Senate. A better alternative would be for both parties to agree on essential reforms and adopt them using current procedures. It is unacceptable in a democracy to continue the Senates recent practices, which allow a small minority of absent Senators to block consideration of a bill or nomination and to obstruct and delay action after cloture is invoked. Over the years, senators of both major political parties have taken different positions on cloture and filibuster procedures, often reflecting their partisan stands on the underlying issues. The League of Women Voters asks you to urge your senators to recognize that they will sometimes be in the majority and sometimes in the minority. The Senate rules should ensure fair procedures for both. At its best, the Senate is unique in its ability to reconcile conflicting national interests and priorities through full and open debate that respects the contribution of each Senator. At its worst, the Senate wastes incredible amounts of time doing nothing, allows Senators to indulge their individual whims, and reinforces partisan rancor. It is time to rise above partisanship and reform the Senate rules in ways that maintain the best traditions, while ensuring openness, accountability, decision-making capability and effective performance.

Indians in Yucca: a colorful display on Foothill


by Ginger Elliot

This is a selection from the book Murals of Claremont written by Professor Art Stevens of Scripps College. The book was published in 2002 by Claremont Heritage and is available for purchase at its office at 840 Indian Hill Blvd. GE

ost Claremonters have seen it hundreds, perhaps thousands, of times. Stopping for a red light at Foothill and Indian Hill, or cruising along the former Route 66, your eye wanders to the colorful and pastoral scene on the south wall of the US Bank building.

Created in 1968 and made of Smalti Italian mosaic tiles imported from Moramo,Italy, this mosaic mural depicts the Native Americans of the area using materials from classical Italian tesserae (naturally colored pieces of marble.) Local artist Millard Sheets had revived the ancient art of mosaic mural making and from thousands of these tiny pieces of colored marble, he produced an image of 3 native boys on horseback on what appears to be a scouting mission through the desert flora of southern California.

The 3 main figures are framed on both sides by the convex stylizations of yucca plants in bloom. The shield-shaped white blossoming yuccas with their repeated curved sides impart lightness, an almost floating sensation, to the mural. The curves of the plants find echoes in the shapes of the horses tails and rumps and the fan-shaped plants in the foreground. The vivid hues remain as fresh as the day they were applied, illustrating that mosaics are a natural choice for creating permanent exterior murals. By 1968, when he completed this mural, Sheets already had produced numerous murals for many banks at all their southern California branches, using the same imported tesserae. Many of these murals still delight the public in communities from Pacific Palisades to Pomona.

Withholding true costs harms Claremonts water plan


By Cruz Sembello

ince 2006, the California Alliance to Protect Private Property Rights has been Californias leading private property rights organization. Last year, we learned about efforts in Claremont to promote an eminent domain takeover of Golden State Water Companys local system.

VIEWPOINT
taxpayer expense towards public ownership of Golden State Water. Claremont has been spending on lawyers and consultants and made an unsolicited $54 million offer to buy the water company. This multi-million dollar commitment was made without any explanation of how the city would pay for it or any analysis of how this government expansion could impact other city services. The only publicly available research suggests that a takeover will subject residents to hundreds of millions of dollars in debt and would cause water rates to increase. At the request of Golden State Water Company, Rodney T. Smith, a nationally-renowned and locally-based water economist, conducted a financial study and released the results. The study concludes that Claremont residents would face at least a 30 percent increase in water rates$462 more annually per household than what is currently charged if the city acquires and operates the system. The study also shows that the 30 percent increase is a best-case scenario

We sent the city of Claremont a letter requesting that they provide information that would justify the use of eminent domain for this purpose. Local news outlets have also asked for information only to be told that the city does not provide background information of this kind. To this day, any benefit from Claremonts plan remains a mystery. In a recent Inland Valley Daily Bulletin article, a Claremont city council member was quoted to have said that public ownership may eventually lead to lower rates. That cloudy description, and the lack of disclosure, suggests the citys lack of confidence in a plan that, even if feasible, will also face expensive and significant legal challenges. Nonetheless, city officials march at

based on the citys $54 million offer for the water system. The final price is almost certain to be much higher. For example, Mr. Smith demonstrated that a $104 million price tag, which would not be surprising, would result in a 71 percent rate increase water rates ($1,103 annually per customer). Recently, our organization sent a mailer to survey Claremont residents. Over the course of a few weeks and by a margin of 3 to one, Claremont residents expressed opposition to a takeover. The strong and immediate response was telling. Those opposed to the plan dont understand the rationale for seizing a water company if it will not immediately guarantee lower water costs. For people who base decisions on facts and figures, they refuse to support a plan that lacks transparency and a demonstrated benefit. Naturally, there were also emotional responses from people frustrated with the current cost of water service. Claremont is not alone, and the problem isnt limited to private providers. According to a USA Today analysis, frustration with rising water bills is a national issue as water rates are on the rise throughout California and the US. In fact, water rates have doubled in one in 4 municipalities surveyed.

Several publicly-owned water systems in California have increased rates over 100 percent, including San Diego (nearly 150 percent) and San Francisco (over 200 percent). Sadly, the increasing cost of government regulations, infrastructure improvements, post 9-11 security measures, and public employee pensions and health care costs are driving up water costs for government water systems all over the US. If Claremont acquires Golden State water system, they too will have to contend with this costly reality. Changing the name on the door of the water company wont change the fact that the cost to maintain and sustain service is increasing. Instead of a costly eminent domain fight, local government would be better served to try and work with Golden State Water Company to address these issues jointly, with community involvement. Taxpayers wont have to pay hundreds of millions to repay bonds. Instead, they can invest in reliable, quality water for current and future generations. Cruz Sembello is a member of the board of directors of the California Alliance to Protect Private Property Rights.

CHS THEATER continued from page 5

Mr. Fruechte pronounced Ms. Smith too talented for her own good and joked that the painting made him feel a bit wistful. Id love to have the hair back, he said. Ms. Elhai agreed it was a good likeness, though she employed a bit of tongue-incheek, questioning its air of serenity. I think he looks a little mellow. You rarely get to see him that calm, she laughed. Hes a little more like an energizer bunny. After months of being displaced, members of the CHS Theatre Department are eager to channel their energy into performances held in their new headquarters. Senior Justin Hsu said he has already begun painting backdrops in the new scene shop for their next production, Youre a Good Man, Charlie Brown, set for April 19 and 20. In the past, he noted, sets had to be built and painted on stage due to lack of space. Justin is expecting to hear whether he got accepted at his 2 top colleges, USC and NYU, in the next few days. While its a bit nerve-racking, his experiences as a CHS thespian have served him well. Its prepared me as a performer and as a person. Im ready to go to college and start having a career in the real world, he said. Other upcoming productions that will give the community a chance to savor the new theater include The Women of Lockerbie (May 2 and 11) and Medea (May 3 and 10).

The women updated the song to thank the donors who helped make the theater renovation possible.

Gala marks new era at CHS theater

rom poignant to hilarious, the Claremont High School alumni gala ran the gamut. In celebration of the opening of the Don F. Fruechte Theater for the Performing Arts, the new high school theater played host to performances show-

casing the talent of current and former students.

From Shaelynn Parkers (CHS, 74) soulful rendition of If You Walked into My Life to Amy Clarks (CHS 09) heartfelt performance of Home from Beauty and the Beast, residents saw the best of the best from CHS theater on Saturday night at the new Fruechte Theater. Chuck and Muriel Farritor of Claremont, who enjoyed a front-row seat at

the performance, have a deep connection to CHS theater. We were just delighted with the whole thing, Mr. Farritor said. We especially enjoyed Don [Fruechte] and the way he closed the show. Hes so low-key. But hes lived his whole life just that way. As part of the Take A Seat campaing, the Farritors purchased 3 seats in the renovated theater in memory of

their son Tim, who died at age 35. Timmy felt the same as all the people who spoke at the show, Mr. Farritor said. It was his home away from home. The highlight of the show for Mr. Farritor? That Joel was a funny guy, he said. But we know him, so I expected him to be funny. Joel Wilson (CHS 96), choir director at the high school, gave his comedic best as emcee for the second act. It isnt often that someone who isnt rich or dead gets a building named after them, Mr. Wilson teased Mr. Fruechte, eyes fixed from the front row. Directed by Krista Carson Elhai (CHS 78), current CHS theater department director, the gala included performances by alumni and current student who were asked to appear in the one-night-only showstopper. Ms. Elhai is only the second theater director at the high school, following Mr. Fruechte, who opened the original CHS theater in 1971. The success of CHS theater has continued under Ms. Elhais tutelage, with students bringing home awards in both regional and state thespian competitions. Former students reminisced, sharing stories of bygone days, often highlighting Mr. Fruechtes unconventional approach to teaching and his knack for inspiring a love of theater among his students. Tom Park (CHS 74) recalled an exchange with Mr. Fruechte during a production of Call Me Madame in 1971. The performances at Garrison were risky in content for conservative Claremont, Mr. Park related. I remember Don saying, I dont know where you are, but you arent there yet. The CHS theater was a home to explore compassion and feelings and work through all the obstacles of being a teenager. Bob Fass (CHS 87) recalled less challenging roles during his years at CHS, including playing a dog and Winnie-the-Pooh, but remarked that his years in high

school theater have had a lasting impact. He fondly recalled Mr. Fruechtes sarcasm: Does anyone have a brain cell to loan to Fass? I need just one! Anyone? Despite Mr. Fruechtes playful demeanor with students, Sarah Smith (CHS 68), who went by sallly Phelps during her years at the high school, acknowledged the former theater directors softer side. Mr. Fruechte inspired us to be our best selves in our lives, she said. I have carried this with me well into my adult life. Other notable performances included Frank Minanos [CHS 80] duet with his daughter Amanda [CHS 11] and another duet from Amanda and Craig Colclough [both CHS 00], who met as theater students at the high school and are now married with 3 children. Perhaps Michael Alden [CHS 74] put it best when he said, May this theater continue to serve as a beacon for thespians everywhere, just as Don has throughout his career. Ms. Elhai and the students of the CHS Theatre Department will return to the Fruechte Theater on April 19 and 20 for a performance of Youre a Good Man, Charlie Brown. Kathryn Dunn

Don Fruechte receives a standing ovation as he is recognized Saturday during the inaugural show at the Fruechte Theatre at Claremont High School. The show celebrated 50 years of theater at the school and the influence Mr. Fruechte had on the generations of students that came through the program.

plays host to any number of events off of the prevailing Judeo-Christian grid, including meditation sessions, Wicca workshops and mediumship. Kindred Spirits regular Janet Whiener notably speaks for Aero, a nonphysical channeled consciousness said to be an Atlantian poet on the third Saturday evening of each month. Weve had death threats, Fk you, Satan worshippers written in acid across 3 windows, a bullet hole in the window, Ms. Newland said. We have people underline Bible passages and put it through the door. What we do is send them all the love we can, because we know theyre afraid. Ms. Newland, by contrast, was raised on a half-acre ranch in Chino in a family for whom contact with the spirit world was an everyday occurrence. My dad used to talk to our animals. He would go out to our horses and just sing with them, she said.

COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff Persis Newland and her husband Chuck have owned Kindred Spirits on Foothill Boulevard since 1993. The store, which Ms. Newland describes as a healing center, offers a wide range of spiritually-based products and services.

rom the start, her life experiences demonstrated how close the line is between the living and the dead. Ms. Newland had a bleeding ulcer at 8 weeks old and experienced an array of maladies, including tuberculosis, shingles and pneumonia, while very young. I believe I was born with all of the things that I died of, she shared. I had near-death experiences all the time. She survived, though, and by age 14 was working full-time at a local chicken farm. Today, living in the same home where she grew up, she holds strong to her rural roots. When theyre not tending the store, they grow vegetables, fruits and herbs, and raise chickens to lay cage-free eggs to feed their family, which includes several grandkids. They notably cultivate white sage, known for its spiritually cleansing properties, which they sell at Kindred Spirits. Recently, they have added another product, Smokeless Smudge, a tincture of sage and water for dorm- and apartment-dwellers, which has proved to be quite popular. Their property, dubbed Wild Rock Family Farms, is not just a sanctuary for the Newlands; its also a haven for turtles. Over the years, they have adopted several California desert tortoises as well as 4 African spur thigh tortoises, which can grow to be 200 pounds. The shelled creatures are not the only unusual presences on the grounds. Ms. Newlands mother, father and brother all died within the house, and she believes it is lovingly haunted. Her deceased family talks to those who are living, move things and make the electricity flicker, she says. Its like Beetlejuice when we get home, she laughed. Ms. Newland emphasizes that, for her, a spirit is not something to be frightened of but instead someone to be listened to. When she does a reading, she uses tools like tarot cards, color and astrology as meditation points to access information from the spirit world. Tuning into this storehouse of knowledge requires a state of mind she likens to un-focusing your eyes to spot an image hidden in a Magic Eye poster. Often, inspiration comes in the form of symbols that she and her clients must decode. Once, she was giving a reading for a woman who was grieving her mothers recent death when she received an image of the clients mother on the other side. She had a bag filled with the letters of the alphabet and had letters

falling from her hand. When Ms. Newland relayed this, the client became very emotional and revealed that she was feeling paralyzed about what to do with a bag full of letters written by her mother. Together, they concluded that she needed to let the bag of letters go in order to move on. Kindred Spirits events coordinator Trish Lonardi, who met Ms. Newland when she was facing some life challenges, said she has found her readings to be transformative. They consequently became friends and eventually the Newlands enlisted her to help organize and promote their growing roster of events. Persis has this great kind of earthy, motherly spirit about her, Ms. Lonardi said. She is an extremely empathetic, loyal and sturdy kind of person. Ms. Newland says people from every walk of life, many of them pretty broken, come into the shop. They have catered to everyone from councilwomen to lawyers to movie stars. Youre not going to go to your council and say, My psychic told me this, though, Ms. Newland said. Were the best-kept secret in town. After 20 years, the Newlands have no plans to close their doors anytime soon. What they do next, though, is not entirely up to them, they say. We really believe kindred spirits run the place. Its an entity, she said. Itll say move these rocks here, put this there, and we do it. We give away more than we probably should, but it always comes back. Its a flow. There are a number of upcoming events scheduled at Kindred Spirits. On Sunday, April 7 from 2 to 4 p.m., medium Hollister Randauthor of the book Im Not Dead, Im Differentwill conduct a spirit circle aimed at providing guests with specific messages from your loved ones in spirit, followed by a book-signing. Admission is $75. And on Sunday, April 21, author and intuitive Gary Quinn will present a workshop titled Contacting the Spirit World & Sharpening Your Intuition, followed by a book signing. Admission is also $75. Reservations are encouraged for both events. Kindred Spirits is located at 813 W. Foothill Blvd. in Claremont.

Students, CERT members collaborate on preparedness drill

reparedness was the order of the day on Tuesday when members of the local Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) conducted a training exercise at the site of the old La Puerta Junior High School. CERT trainer Dennis Smith said he picked the spot, which was closed as a middle school in 1978 and continued to be used for a number of subsequent years for adult school classes, because he knew it would be kind of in a shambles. Here was the scenario being enacted: A large earthquake has rattled the Los Angeles area. With that reports some middle school students may be trapped at school, and the police occupied with other casualties of the extensive damage throughout the city, CERT volunteers descend on the scene, prepared to help any victims they might find. Six El Roble students, members of the Interact Club that eventually feeds into Rotary, volunteered to be crisis actors for a day in order to lend a sense of realism to the drill. After being assigned a card describing their post-quake condition, the students headed to a makeup station manned by 3 students from the Claremont High School Theater Department. The teensvolunteering their service as a small way to thank the community for their support of the newly-renovated CHS theaterthen proceeded to use paint and pigments to mimic the look of burns, cuts and abrasions. As CHS thespian Scotty Jacobson, 18, and his crew applied makeup to 7th grader Alex Moneith, she explained her hypothetical condition to bystanders. I have massive facial injuries, which is not that different from every day, Alex laughed. The most gruesome of the wounds was a bone-protruding fracture on the upper arm of 8th grader Sarah Gale, created by

a latex prosthetic edged with lots of fake blood. I feel like Kevin Ware, she joked in a grim reference to the University of Louisville basketball player who incurred a horrific leg fracture at a game on Monday night. Once transformed, the youths were led to their designated places. Sarah was instructed to lay adjacent to a felled file cabinet. In another room, 8th grader Carter Abbot was shown a spot where he was to lie, covered with second-degree burns and no longer breathing. In the same room,

Claremont High School drama student Scotty Jacobson makes up El Roble student Alex Monteith with pretend injuries on Tuesday in advance of the emergency simulation in north Claremont. The students volunteered to help in the CERT training. CERTTRAINING continued from the previous page

COURIER photos/Steven Felschundneff Claremonts CERT truck arrives at the simulated earthquake scene on Tuesday at La Puerta. BELOW: El Roble student Lauren Steffen takes her place on the classroom floor during the simulated emergency. The students had to spend over half an hour in the darkened old school during the CERT training.

Alex was asked to take a place near a downed power wire. We have to make the assumption that its dangerous and stay, at minimum, 30 feet away, Mr. Smith said. When you see a victim there, its very hard, emotionally, not to go to them. But its safety first: Dont put yourself in danger, dont put your partner in danger. Nice to know you care, Alex quipped. The kids had fun exploring the vacant building which, other than missing and mildewing ceiling tiles and jumbled furniture, was surprisingly in tact. Water came out of the drinking fountain and the electricity was working, providing a real-life example of the saying, The lights are on but nobodys home. With its pre-cordless phones, ancient Apple computers with 13-inch screens and an electric typewriter, the sitewhich CUSD has declared surplus in preparation for saleserves as a time capsule. Once Claremont police notified the CERT members to be trained about the emergency via rotary call, the lights were flipped off and the students hit their marks. They were surprisingly well behaved, not making a peep during the more than 30 minutes they lay in the mildew-scented dark, waiting for help. When the CERT trainees arrived on the scene, they canvassed the building, located the victims, radioed for help and stretchers as needed and then brought the teens out of the building. Some victims, like Sarah, were able to hobble out of the building with some help while oth-

ers required stretchers. Part of the parking lot had been turned into a makeshift triage center. The CERT emergency response truck, packed with medical and food supplies, was stationed there and 2 generators were powered up to provide electricity to the truck as well as for auxiliary lights. Three tarps were spread on the ground, one for the walking wounded, who require care but are not in serious danger, another for those who can stand to wait a bit before treatment and a third for those who require immediate attention. A bit ominously, a black tarp spread some distance away was prepared to serve as a makeshift morgue in case of any deaths. And this faux-catastrophe indeed turned lethal. Having died on the scene, Carter was left on the premises. The other fatality was a CERT member who got too close to the downed power line and was electrocuted. While the proficiency of the rescuers is still a work in progress, the students realized one thing while lying in a darkened building, imagining they were seriously hurt. In case of such a scenario, it would be infinitely comforting to hear the voice of a caring volunteer saying, This is CERT. Is anybody in here? CERT members like Mr. Smith, who aided victims of the 2009 San Diego Station Fire , say helping the community prepare for emergencies is their civic duty. We all know its not a matter of if but when a big emergencya major earthquake or firewill happen, Mr. Smith said.

he stage was set for a Sierra League encounter against the good-at-allsports Damien/St. Lucys schools.

Wolfpack swimmers took to Damiens pool Wednesday afternoon and squared off against 2 well-conditioned squads. The girls team fell at the last couple of hurdles, dropping the meet to the Regents 93-77. Claremont boys were unable to keep it close, and lost to the Spartans 97-73. Damien came into the meet on the back of only 2 losses in their last 100 swim meets. The Spartans consistency has been remarkable considering the competition, with the streak dating back to a decade ago. St Lucys is also strong this year, but slightly less so than their male counterparts. Still, the Regents will challenge for the title for 2 more seasons before they and

the Spartans switch divisions. Claremont head coach Courtney Eads expressed confidence in her boys and girls squads after the meet, even with the loss. We beat South Hills in our first league meet, she noted. I thought we had a great chance to win the meet, especially with our girls team. Damien has an extremely tough group of athletes. I believe we can still challenge for CIF spots. The Lady Wolfpack looked impressive during the first half of the meet. Samantha Duran excelled in the 200-yard freestyle race, posting an important early win for Claremont. Mary Hanna, Fernanda Suarez and Melissa Oei all placed high in their respective events, as Claremont went into the final third of the meets events tied on 55 points. For the boys, Luke Miller won the 50yard freestyle. Ben Jardine followed up by placing first in the 200-yard individual medley, beating his competitors by a wide margin. Dylan Tarazona showed his speed

off the starting blocks by smoking Damien swimmers in the 50-yard freestyle. Miller also won the 500-yard free, and Duran won the same long-distance race for the Lady Pack. However, the relay teams could not pick up points. Coach Eads noted that she would need to make a number of changes before the next meet. The boys lost steam after the break, as did the girls. We knew the meet was well within reach, but we did not have as many good second-half performances as we had hoped. I have a lot of work to do in putting people where they are strongest, but I will let my swimmers have a lot more say in who swims which races. Claremont gears up for todays meet against Chino Hills at home at 3:15 p.m. The Pack expect to bounce back with aplomb, and hope that the tactical reshuffle pays dividends in the water.

Athlete of the month


Nick Costello has been lighting up the statistics columns for Claremont Wolfpack baseball all season, but during the last 2 weeks Costello was absolutely unstoppable. The 6-foot, one-inch, 180-pound senior shortstop is hitting at a .457 clip with 15 runs batted in and almost no errors at the games toughest position. Costello smacked a double and a home run against Chino Hills 2 weeks ago, and then cranked a 2-run homer to win the game against Ayala. In both games, Claremont came from behind in the final inning to win. Costello also hit a home run against Damien earlier and only has 2 errors in 2013. His timely hitting and leadership as one of Claremonts middle infielders helped vault the Wolfpack to second place in the Sierra League.

Fresh Cut Roses by Tom Skelly on exhibit at the Claremont Community Foundation Art Gallery.

Tom Skelly on exhibit at Claremont Community Foundation


Artist Tom Skelly is a longtime resident of Claremont. After graduating with an MFA from the Claremont Graduate University in 1979, he began exhibiting and teaching. Most significantly, he designed and implemented a multi-disciplinary arts program at the California Institution for Men in Chino. During his 30-year artist residency, he developed an award-winning inmate arts crew that created community beautification projects throughout southern California. He has worked with nonprofit groups, schools, libraries, senior centers, police departments and municipalities to improve the quality of work environments and public neighborhoods. In 2010, his Arts In Corrections program did not survive the budget cuts but he continues working as a studio artist. Additionally, he remains active in the Claremont community by serving on public art committees and hosting a radio program at KSPC 88.7FM since 1985. His radio program features movie music and interviews with film composers. It airs on Sunday evenings from 7 to 10 p.m. Mr. Skelly also teaches a course at UCLA called Art Programs in Correctional Institutions: Theory, History and Practice. Mr. Skellys current exhibition at the Claremont Community Foundation features 21 pieces of art created in the 1980s and also within the past couple of years. The exhibition bookends his work as a resident artist in the prison system while pointing to new directions. Many peoTom Skelly ple ask Mr. Skelly how working in a prison has influenced his art. The paintings and drawings on display begin with a rather abstract approach that sows an embryonic path for the subsequent years. In the more recent work, we see comfort images such as trains, fishing at a lake, boats and paint by numbers. Upon closer examination, it becomes apparent that the rules of realism allow the images to evolve beyond their obvious roles as ambient art. The Tom Skelly art exhibition is on display for the month of April at the Claremont Community Foundation Art Gallery, located at 205 Yale Avenue in Claremont. The opening reception will be on Friday, April 12 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Regular gallery hours are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, call 398-1060.

57 UNDERGROUND: 300-C S. Thomas St., Pomona Arts Colony. Friday through Sunday, noon to 4 p.m., second and last Saturdays, noon to 9 p.m. 57 Underground features contemporary works by member and guest artists. 397-0218. Through April 27: Two mid-career women artists from the Inland Empire are featured this month at 57 Underground. Mary Hughes has exhibited all over the region, establishing herself as a painter of darkened and elusive dreamscapes, in which forms appear and disappear from behind seemingly arbitrary and random patterns of paint, and recognizable objects move from background to foreground depending on the viewers focus. Yi-li Chin Ward has had a career notable for her consistent and persistent interpretations of the female form. Ms. Chins paintings are economical of line, and seem not at all that particular. Yet, if one spends the time with them, one sees that they are very particular, and very specific about thought and emotion. Closing reception: Saturday, April 27 form 5 to 9 p.m. AMOCA MUSEUM: 399 N.

Inland Valley Repertory to present Cabaret at Candlelight


Inland Valley Repertory Theater continues its 2013 season on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at the Candlelight Pavilion with their production of Cabaret, opening on Wednesday, April 17. Based on a book by Christopher Isherwood, the decadent and jazzy musical is set in 1931 Berlin as the Nazis are rising to power. The story revolves around nightlife at the seedy Kit Kat Klub and follows the English cabaret performer Sally Bowles and her relationship with the American writer Cliff Bradshaw. A bittersweet sub-plot involves the doomed romance between German boarding house owner Frulein Schneider and her elderly suitor Herr Schultz, a Jewish fruit vendor. Overseeing the action is the Kit Kat Klubs magnetic Master of Ceremonies. Cabaret boasts an award-winning score by John Kander and Fred Ebb and features songs like Wilkommen, Maybe This Time, Money, Money and Cabaret. The role of Sally Bowles is played by Tomasina Abate, who received a Stage Scene LA award for her performance as Velma Kelly in IVRTs 2010 production of Chicago. Southland theater performer John LaLonde stars as the Emcee. The production, which features an onstage allfemale band, is directed by 2-time Ovation Awardwinner Cate Caplin, and musically directed by Ronda Rubio.

The original production includes a spunky Cinderella, a pair of hilarious stepsisters and a radiant fairy godmother who sends Cinderella to the ball in a carriage fit for a fairy princess. As the clock strikes midnight, Cinderella must hurry home,

leaving the handsome Prince with a glass slipper as the only clue to finding his true love. Choreographed by DJ Gray, Clinton Rothwell and Laurence Blake, Cinderella boasts magnificent costumes, including exquisite ball gowns by Carmen Creations of Los Angeles. Cinderellas world was created by scenic designer Daniel C. Nyiri, a 3-time winner of the Inland Theatre League Award, while her glittering coach was designed and built by IPB co-director Kevin Myers. Adding to the magic is the score, which is a sound collage featuring waltz king Johann Strauss for Cinderella plus selections by composers such as Benjamin Britten, Charles Gounod and Jules Massenet.

We wanted our Cinderella to be very entertaining and strike a fun balance between humor and classicism, noted artistic director Victoria Koenig. A perfect introduction to ballet for young audiences, IPB's Cinderella captures the delightful romance and magic of this classic fairy tale story. Performances will be held on Saturday, April 20 at 1 and 7 p.m. and on Sunday, April 21 at 1 p.m. General admission tickets are $28, $24 for seniors and $20 for children. Premium seats are $38 (all ages). Bridges Auditorium is located at 450 N. College Way in Claremont. For tickets, call 6071139 or visit www.ipballet.org.

How do you spell success? S-O-P-H-I-E

l Roble 8th grader Sophie WillardVan Sistene was selected as a finalist in the Inland Valley Regional Spelling Bee, held March 23 at Mt. San Antonio College.
While Sophie did not move past the finals for a spot in the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, DC, she did an incredible job, according to Sue Hensley, El Roble English teacher and spelling bee coordinator. She has that natural ability to memorize the spelling of words she has seen only once or twice, as well as the intuitive knowledge of how letters are situated in words she has never even seen before, Ms. Hensley noted. Ms. Hensley is a self-professed word and spelling nut, and grew up in a family of avid Scrabble players. I was the type of person that would notice typos in a newspaper and write to the editor, she said, adding that she has continued the Scrabble tradition with her own family today. There is a lot of preparation for students who are signed up for the El Roble bee. Ms. Hensley invites students to take a preliminary written test and selects the top 15 scorers to participate in the schools oral spelling bee. Then, its cram time. I meet with the finalists for several weeks before the bee and we play games, have practice sessions and go over tips like knowing root words, etymologies and language of origin, she said. Sophie aced the El Roble bee as well as her first word in the Inland Valley competition: homonym. Unfortunately, nerves got the best of her when it came to her second word, abdicate, which she said she misspelled even though she knew how to spell it.

She is an amazing speller and knew how to spell every word that was used for the remainder of the bee, a proud Ms. Hensley pointed out. How did Sophie get to be such a spelling whiz? Shes a natural speller but she also put a lot of hard work into it. After she was done with homework each night, she would study for the spelling bee, Sophies mother, Mary Cay Van Systine, said. We were really proud when she won the El Roble spelling bee. It was just the frosting on the cake when she went onto regionals and finals. Sophies innate gift for spelling is nurtured by her voracious reading. Between school and the associated hours of homework and her art and piano lessons, she doesnt have much free time. When she does, though, Sophie uses it to read. There are lots of spelling words I know from books, she said. Like any self-respecting bookworm of her generation, Sophie has read all of the Harry Potter and Hunger Games books. She is currently reading another popular book, Ink Heart, and is waiting impatiently for the release of the third book in the Divergent series. In school, her English teacher, Katherine Hertenstein, has us reading a lot and writing about what were reading. The students are currently in the thick of Harper Lees classic, To Kill a Mockingbird. Good spelling is useful in any profession, and Sophie is already pondering what she might like to do with her promising future. I really like acting and theater and art, so I might want to do something with art or performing. I also am really interested in math and science, she said.

he first step in making a difference is making some noise, and Fair Trade Claremont and Traffick Free Pomona dont plan on keeping quiet. The 2 social justice groups are joining forces once again on Tuesday, April 9 to host a free screening of Not My Life, a documentary focused on the global reach of todays continued slave trade. Filling up the seats of the Laemmle Theatre is the initial step in their battle towards a slave-free world. Raising awareness is the first step to eradicating human trafficking, said Tamiko Chacon, pastor of social justice at Pomona First Baptist, one of the event sponsors. The more awareness that exists, the more our eyes are open to what trafficking looks like and how we can get involved. Not My Life seeks to give a face to the widespread issue of human trafficking. In the film narrated by award-winning actress Glenn Close, filmmaker Robert Bilheimer travels to 5 different continents in his effort to depict the realities of children stuck in forced labor, domestic servitude, begging, sex tourism, sexual exploitation and child soldiering. The resulting documentary is understandably hard to watch, Mr. Bilheimer acknowledges. It is impossible to spend 4 years among the victims and survivors of these crimesvirtually all of them childrenand emerge with anything other than a sense of sheer and utter horror, the director wrote in a statement. While a tough subject to digest, Ms. Chacon found the films broad depiction of defining human trafficking particularly poignant. In one part of the documentary, the filmmaker introduces the audience to a young girl

who has been sold into sex slavery in the United States. Victims [of human trafficking] could be right next door, Ms. Chacon recognized. There have been victims forced into slavery, into domestic service, literally in upper middle class neighborhoods. Learning how to spot the signs is another important key. Helping victims of human trafficking has become a passion project for the social justice ministry of the local Baptist church in recent years. Last January, the group held a screening of a human trafficking documentary at Claremont First Baptist. They were surprised to see a full house, nearly 200 people, in attendance. They hope to repeat their success with a new, amped up venue. When you think of the center of Claremont, you think the Village, Ms. Choco said, adding that the Laemmle has a history of supporting nonprofits and documentary filmmaking. We thought if we did this in a theater, hopefully we would reach more members of the community, and that was our goal, to help raise more awareness. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the movie, about 80 minutes long, will begin at 7 p.m. Seats are free, but space is limited. The Claremont Laemmle Theater is located at 450 W. Second St. in Village West Public Plaza. Entrance to the screening is free, but a limited number of seats are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE TS No. 110069404 Doc ID #000710205982005N Title Order No. 11-0056514 Investor/Insurer No. 2093940 APN No. 8309-007-015 YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST, DATED 04/12/2005. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. Notice is hereby given that RECONTRUST COMPANY, N.A., as duly appointed trustee pursuant to the Deed of Trust executed by MARK R WALSH, AN UNMARRIED MAN, dated 04/12/2005 and recorded 4/20/2005, as Instrument No. 05 0914891, in Book N/A, Page N/A, of Official Records in the office of the County Recorder of Los Angeles County, State of California, will sell on 05/06/2013 at 9:00AM, Doubletree Hotel Los Angeles-Norwalk, 13111 Sycamore Drive, Norwalk, CA 90650, Vineyard Ballroom at public auction, to the highest bidder for cash or check as described below, payable in full at time of sale, all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust, in the property situated in said County and State and as more fully described in the above referenced Deed of Trust. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 264-266 W 12TH ST, CLAREMONT, CA, 91711. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. The total amount of the unpaid balance with interest thereon of the obligation secured by the property to be sold plus reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is $509,238.62. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept cashier's checks 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 Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state. Said sale will be made, in an ''AS IS'' condition, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Deed of Trust, advances thereunder, with interest as provided, and the unpaid principal of the Note secured by said Deed of Trust with interest thereon as provided in said Note, plus fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. 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 a 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 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 1-800-281-8219 or visit this Internet Web site www.recontrustco.com, using the file number assigned to this case TS No. 11-0069404. 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.

Said sale will be made, in an ''AS IS'' condition, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Deed of Trust, advances thereunder, with interest as provided, and the unpaid principal of the Note secured by said Deed of Trust with interest thereon as provided in said Note, plus fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. 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 a 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 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 1-800-2818219 or visit this Internet Web site www.recontrustco.com, using the file number assigned to this case TS No. 10-0116083. 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.

March continues Claremonts rise in home prices. The inventory remains low as there are less than 50 homes on the market throughout the city. We are noticing homes are selling much closer to their asking prices (within 1 percent on average) compared to a 5 percent difference on average, this time last year. Homes continue to sell nearly twice as fast as they did the prior year. Inventory between $750,000-$1,000,000 remains scarce.
