Missing hikers body found on north side of Mt. Baldy
fter several days of searching, authorities believe they found the body of a missing hiker who disappeared on Mt. Baldy over the weekend.
On Wednesday afternoon, a search and rescue crew spotted a body northwest of the Fish Fork summit, said Jodie Miller, Public Information Officer for the San Bernardino County Sheriffs Department.
An air rescue helicopter was picking up a rescue team near the summit when a team member spotted the body from the air. After landing back at the summit, the helicopter returned to the search site and hoisted down a San Bernardino County Sheriff medic, who confirmed the sighting was a dead body. Based on clothing description and personal description, we believe it is the missing hiker Michelle Yu, Ms. Miller said. Ms. Yu, 49, of Venice was reported missing on Sunday when she did not re-
turn home from a hike the previous day. According to authorities, she signed the logbook at the Sierra Hut trailhead at 8:30 a.m. Saturday. She planned to hike Baldy Peak, walk to Baldy Notch and take a ski lift back down the mountain. Based on our knowledge of original intended route, we believe she became disoriented and headed west from the summit instead of going east. She may have slipped and fallen, Ms. Miller said. Icy terrain and fog limited visibility on Saturday, creating further dangerous hiking conditions. The body was found in
an area of steep and treacherous terrain around the 8000-foot elevation mark, Ms. Miller said. The body was retrieved by the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department earlier Thursday morning. The Los Angeles County Coroners office will positively identify the body and determine the exact cause of death. There were 65 search and rescue volunteers from throughout Southern California who aided in the effort to located the missing hiker.

Monahan cleared of all wrongdoing in accident
Village business owner who was involved in a freak traffic accident leading to the death of her close friend has been cleared of all wrongdoing, police announced this week.
Brenda Monahan, owner of Three French Hens in Village West, will not face criminal charges over an accident in August that resulted in the death of her friend and roommate Catherine Shelton. The District Attorneys Office determined that this was nothing more than a tragic accident and there was no criminal negligence [on the part of Ms. Monahan], Claremont Police Lieutanant Shelly Vander Veen said. On August 25, Ms. Shelton was run over by a vehicle driven by Ms. Monahan on the south sidewalk in the 400 block of West First Street. She was transported to Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center where she succumbed to her injuries. The Claremont Police Departments Traffic Bureau
began an investigation into the accident. Police interviewed witnesses, impounded the vehicle and inspected it for defects and conducted a vehicle crash analysis and a skid mark analysis. Police also took a blood sample from Ms. Monahan to determine if she was under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the accident. The test took 2 months to process with the Los Angeles County crimelab causing a delay in the investigaton. Results showed she was not under the influence. Police then presented a case to the Los Angeles County District Attorneys Office to determine if criminal charges should be filed. Lt. Vander Veen said it is standard protocol to present any traffic collision case involving a fatality to the DAs office for review. The DAs office determined that there was no evidence that Ms. Monahans actions rose to the level of gross negligence or criminal negligence. According to Lt. Vander Veen, Ms. Monahan was driving the vehicle with Ms. Shelton in the passenger
seat when they arrived outside of the new location for Ms. Monahans store, Three French Hens. Ms. Shelton was planning to take over driving while Ms. Monahan went into the shop. Ms. Shelton got out of the passenger seat and walked around the front of the vehicle to get into the driver seat. Meanwhile, Ms. Monahan exited the car, believing the gear shift was in park. [The gear shift] was either in drive or neutral and popped into drive, causing the car to surge forward as the driver left the vehicle and collided with the victim, Lt. Vander Veen said. Ms. Monahan attempted to jump back into the drivers seat in order to stop the car as it accelerated forward, traveling about 100 feet along the sidewalk. She sustained minor injuries during the ordeal. A message seeking comment from Ms. Monahan was unanswered.

Duo charged with grand theft for stealing Padua Park copper wire
On Wednesday, December 8 police arrested 2 individuals suspected of stealing over 3000 feet of underground copper wire from athletic field light poles at Padua Park. The value of the wire is approximately $7500. Sometime between Saturday, December 4 and Monday, December 6, the wire was stolen from the sports park. Claremonts Detective Bureau followed up on a license plate of a vehicle that was seen in the area by an officer during the time of the theft. A search was conducted at the registered owners residence in Ontario resulting in the arrest of Michael Hinds, 52, on charges of grand theft. During the search, police found evidence implicating Mr. Hinds in the theft, including wire strippings seen throughout the yard and a receipt for the recycling of copper wire. The investigation led to a second suspect, Jesse Joel Page, 51, of Ontario. He was located at his residence and was arrested for grand theft. When detectives located Mr. Page, he was in the process of stripping wire. Based on the amount of wire recycled and other evidence obtained during the investigation, it was believed that additional wire might have been hidden around the park. During a search of the perimeter of Padua Park, a large quantity of wire covered and concealed by loose brush was located. Both suspects are being held at Claremont Police Jail on $20,000 bail with an arraignment scheduled for Friday, December 10.
Friday, December 3 An intoxicated woman was arrested after fighting with a police officer. At 10:35 p.m., police were called to a home in the 200 block of Kemper Avenue after the woman knocked on the front door of a residence. The woman, who appeared intoxicated, told the homeowner she couldnt find her car keys. Police arrived and found the woman searching for something inside of her parked car. The officer decided it was unsafe for her to drive and attempted to detain the woman for public intoxication. She resisted arrest, pulling her arms away from the officer and walking away from the scene. The officer was able to get Cheryl Chase, 55, of Mt. Baldy into handcuffs and placed her under arrest. She was detained at the Claremont Police Department jail for 6 hours and released. Two dogs that were in her car were held at the stations kennel until Ms. Chase was released. Sunday, December 5 A drunk driver who crashed his vehicle into a home was arrested. Police were called to the 300 block of Carleton Avenue at 2:13 a.m. about the collision. Awakened by the impact of the crash, a homeowner came outside to find the driver attempting
to start his vehicle. Officers arrived at the scene to see a black Ford Mustang crashed into the north exterior wall of the house. The driver, Evan Smith, 22, of Claremont was determined to be under the influence of alcohol and was arrested. Mr. Smith told police he had more than 5 beers but less than 10. He made no further statements to police. Police determined the car ran over the curb, struck a brick wall and continued to travel until colliding with the house. His vehicle sustained major front-end damage from the crash. There was no major structural damage to the home. *** A woman was detained on Harrison Avenue after threatening to kill herself by jumping in front of a moving vehicle. At 12:34 p.m., the woman ran out of her psychiatrists office located on Harrison Avenue near Indian Hill Boulevard. When police located her, she was running through traffic. She struggled with police officers, swinging and kicking her arms and legs. They were able to detain the woman and place her in a patrol unit. She was transported to a hospital in Covina for a psychological evaluation. She was not injured during the incident.

Affordable housing project breaks ground
ot since 1995 has a major affordable housing project been built in Claremont. But city officials and local housing advocates celebrated this week as developers broke ground on Courier Place, the new 75-unit affordable housing project located in the heart of the Village.
Named after Claremonts favorite newspaper, the project will be built at the site of the COURIERs former newsroom at 111 S. College Ave. The COURIER oper-
ated at the beginning in the early 1980s before moving to its current location on Claremont Boulevard in 2006. The project is available to families and seniors with low-income levels who earn between 30 and 50 percent of the area median income. The Los Angeles County area median income for a family of 4 is $63,000. A family of 4 earning $24,850 to $41,400 would be eligible to live at Courier Place with rents ranging from $409 to $990 per month, said Mary Jo Goelzer, Chief Operating Officer for Jamboree Housing Corp. City officials praised the 3-building 75-unit project for its location near shopping and public transportation options, its intergenerational appeal and the buildings green features.
This is something that our community has been looking forward to for so long, Mayor Linda Elderkin said. The fact that its actually here is a little hard to believe. Its actually a little bit beyond our wildest dreams, she added. The project is being developed by Jamboree Housing Corporation, a non-profit housing development company based in Irvine. President of Jamboree Laura Archuleta said the project represented many firsts for her company. It was the first time working with the city of Claremont. It was their first multi-generational project. And it will be Jamborees first Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED)-certified project with developers hoping to reach Platinum status, LEEDs highest rating designation. To reach the LEED rating, the project will have Energy Star appliances in each unit, photovoltaic panels, ultra low-flow toilets, tankless water heaters, efficient landscape irrigation and fluorescent light fixtures. Other project amenities include community buildings, a computer lab, a community kitchen, an on-site property management office, multi-purpose rooms, a separate private community area for seniors, a pool, a tot lot, a laundry room in each building, a picnic area with barbecues and after-school programs for children. These are all designed to increase the quality of life of the residents living here and to minimize the residents utility costs, Ms. Archuleta said. There are also economic benefits to such a large-scale project, Ms. Archuleta said. It will boost local income tax and tax revenue for local government. It will also create 92 new jobs during the construction phase and 23 permanent jobs after the initial year. Located just south of the Metrolink tracks, the project will come with a 14-foot sound wall and dual glazed windows to help drown out noise from the passing trains. The last affordable housing built in Claremont was the Habitat for Humanity project at First Street and Claremont Boulevard in 2003. The Claremont Senior Villas opened in 1993, comprimising 154 low- and very low-income senior units. Two years later, Vista Valle Townehomes at 670 W. San Jose Ave. opened with 48 units for low- and very low-income families.

Housing and Redevelopment Manager Brian Desatnik said the city still has affordable housing obligations to address under state law. Claremont was assigned a total of 191 units for the low- and very low-income categories during the period of 2008 to 2013. The city is not required
to build all the housing during that time, but must have plans in place to do so. The 75 units that we build in Courier Place means that we now only need sufficient land, zoned for 30 units to the acre residential, to accommodate 116 more units for low- and very low-income, Mr.
Desatnik said. With an opening date slated for March 2012, those interested in living at Courier Place can contact the city to be considered. Ms. Goelzer said the company is working with the city and local housing advocacy group to identify people who
want to live at Courier Place. Priority will be given to city residents or those working in Claremont.

My early life at the Claremont COURIER

bu Jan Wheatcroft
t was either the end of the 70s or the beginning of the 80s when I returned from Greece, a single parent, desperately needing a job. I answered a help wanted ad in the COURIER for a classified advertising manager job. I remember my interview with Martin Weinberger, owner and publisher of the COURIER, which was held outside on the bench in front of the office on Harvard Avenue.
It was a warm day and I did my best sales pitch of my life and was hired. I occupied the front desk on the right side of the office so that I could take in the ads and help the front desk manager as well. Martin sat behind us keeping a keen eye on what was happening. Nothing ever got past him. The graphics department was immediately next door and there was an easy going interaction between the two departments. One of the things I remember so well was that Martin encouraged creativity from his employees and I worked very hard to update and make the classified section visually satisfying as well as interesting to read. He allowed me to write a weekly column on what was happening in the Village and around Claremont, to start a wellness section, to create a summer section for childrens activities and to work on a close basis with realtors offering them some special services such as ad pick-up and proof delivery. I was able to work with the graphics department in designing a new style format for the classifieds which was bold and clear. Within reason he allowed me a great deal of flexibility in working with advertisers to create ads and ad space which would highlight their businesses. I was allowed to move throughout Claremont searching out new businesses and welcoming them to the community. The other day, Joan Bunte of Stamp Your Heart Out told me that she remembered my coming into her first shop in Harvard Square with a rose to welcome her as a new business. Working at the COURIER in its central location was good for me as a single parent as I was easily available to my 2 sons in an emergency and they were always welcome to stop in to connect with me during working hours. Later on we moved to the College Avenue location
where we had more office space in the front. My desk was again right up front with Martin positioned behind by 3 desks, still with his eye on everything that went on. My main job was to increase ad sales. So I created the New Car Guide and the Professional Services section. Still, he would shout, sell, sell, sell periodically from his throne and I would go out during office lulls to encourage people to put their ads in the classifieds. Working closely with the graphics department we would create designs, sections and ideas for seasonal sales, for summer activities and to provide solutions for situations which occurred during the year. Twice I left the COURIER to return to Greece and after each time when I returned Martin gave me my job back. The first time I worked for 2 years selling classified ads and when I left I asked for a letter of recommendation. He gave me one written on that wonderful tan letter paper with the bold, brown LETTERHEAD printed across the top. The first letter made me laugh as he had cleverly listed all the firsts I had created while employed by him: the longest and most expensive telephone call to sell a $3 ad, returning late from lunch on 29 occasions and using more sick leave than anyone in 73 years. He did say that my work met some standards and that he would reconsider re-hiring me if I ever showed up again in this area. Then he presented me with a usable letter of recommendation as well. A year later I showed up again and spent another 2 years selling classified ads and after 2 years I again left for Greece and again asked for a recommendation letter. This one I prize the most. There is the beautiful LETTERHEAD tan paper with the date and heading of To whom it may concern. Then there is a full empty page and at the bottom he has signed it very cordially, Martin Weinberger, publisher. I really had a good laugh. I think we really en-
joyed and appreciated each other. When I returned a year later I was given the position of Claremont display ad manager and settled in a small glassed-in back office alongside Phyllis, the person who sold ads outside of Claremont. In those days we drove throughout our sales areas making personal contacts with advertisers, showing them samples and designing many of the ads ourselves. We had no computers. I really liked the artistic component in my work. Martin still sat at his desk and encouraged us to sell more and more by offering bonuses as well as with his cry of, sell, sell, sell. Claremont was rather small and I tried to cover every business within my boundries but with his pushing I looked for more possibilities. One day in desperation, I asked him if I could try to sell to the sex shop up on Foothill Boulevard. Go ahead, he said so I made up a materials packet to show the owner and made an appointment. Entering the shop was a bit of a shock but I presented the material to the manager and made another appointment to revisit him at a later date with a positive interest on his part to put some ads in the paper. I returned to the office triumphantly and told Martin that I thought we would have a new advertiser. I dont think he really believed that I would sell that ad and so he said I should wait while he discussed things with his wife, Janis. The next day he said that they had agreed that being a family newspaper, it was preferable to keep this form of advertising out of our paper. It was a while before I heard the cry of sell, sell, sell again. Eventually, after 6 years of selling ads, I left the COURIER to return to teaching fourth grade in the Ontario-Montclair School District. I remember my years of working at the COURIER and for Martin Weinberger with great fondness. I worked alongside bright and clever people who were always stimulating. The environment of the COURIER office allowed me to feel free and open enough to experiment and develop my ideas in a creative manner. I loved that we were in the center of town and felt a part of the immediate community. I made good friends, some I have continued to see through all of these years. Even afterwards I have been encouraged to continue to write and to expand my column from a local Claremont orientated focus to one using the themes of travel and my thoughts and experiences about food, friendship and adventure.
Is there something else we can do? Frankly, Im bored.
Arrow Highway speed limit to be reviewed by commission
he Traffic and Transportation Commission will be reviewing speed limit recommendations on Arrow Highway at a special commission meeting on Monday, December 13 at 7 p.m.
A new speed survey was completed on Arrow Highway following recent revisions in striping on the road. The city will consider increasing speed limits on Arrow Highway between Claremont Boulevard and Indian Hill Boulevard to 40 miles per hour and between In-
dian Hill Boulevard and Cambridge Avenue to 45 miles per hour. The proposed speed limits have been established per the State of California requirements to allow for proper enforcement. The commission will also review road closures for the Amgen Tour of California on May 21, 2011 and the mass participation ride on May 7, 2011. Specific event details are still in the preliminary planning stages, but both events will take place in and around the Claremont Village and then head north through Claremont. Residents living within 300 feet of the route will re-
ceive a letter detailing the route and meeting details. In an effort to provide as much advance notice to Village merchants and property owners affected by this race route, the street closure permits will be considered by the Traffic and Transportation Commission on Monday. All interested parties are invited to appear and make public comments at the meeting. The commission meeting begins at 7 p.m. in the city council chambers.

The DREAM Act
Dear Editor: The House and Senate will be voting on the DREAM Act very soon. This bipartisan legislation will provide a path to citizenship for young immigrants who complete a college degree or serve in the military, thereby enabling them to be a fully productive part of American society. The DREAM Act would provide hard-working students with the opportunity to earn permanent legal status if they came to the United States as children, have good moral character, finish high school or obtain a GED, and then complete 2 years of college or military service. Too often, immigrant students now are unable to participate in society in even the most basic ways, such as getting a job, obtaining a drivers license, or applying to a 4-year college. The DREAM Act opens the door of opportunity to them while it strengthens our economy and society. The DREAM

Talk is cheap
Dear Editor: Talk is cheap when the GOP holds the middle class and the unemployed hostage in their high stakes game of chicken.
When the Democrats could only muster 47 votes to extend the middle class tax cuts, what was President Obama to do? Was he to sacrifice the unemployment benefits for 2 million real people and cause the taxes of average Americans to go up in hard times on the cross of principle. Yes, it is unfair that the wealthy will still get their tax cuts when they dont need them. It is unfair that Warren Buffet pays a lower percentage of his real income in taxes than his secretary. But let us not drive a stake into the heart of the middle class who cannot afford to pay more in taxes. You can win a high stakes game of chicken when the guy sitting next to you doesnt know what cards you hold. But when the Republican Party partisans in

COURIER photo/ Steven Felschundneff Claremont Graduate University student Caroline Kline is working on a Mormon womens oral history project with CGU adjunct professor Claudia Bushman. Ms. Kline is working on her PhD in womens studies and religion with a planned focus on feminist communities inside the Mormon religion.
Proudly a feminist, proudly a Mormon
Caroline Kline explores her faith from a womans point of view
imultaneously a diligent researcher, passionate feminist and practicing Mormon, Claremont Graduate University student Caroline Kline treasures her current work of examining more than one hundred Mormon womens lives, ex-
ploring their perspectives on a wide range of subjects including marriage, divorce, career, motherhood, fertility and the church.
Fascinating in their own right, these womens stories also help illuminate the path Ms. Kline treads, one she walks upon carefully but with confidence: the
path of reconciling and remaining true to her feminist beliefs as well as her Mormon faith. I love learning how these women navigate their lives in different but very thoughtful ways, Ms. Kline said.

EXPLORING FAITH continued from the previous page
ing all of them is the theme of integrityhow they live their lives being true to themselves and their beliefs while also considering the needs of their families and communities. Working with CGU professor Claudia Bushman and several other women, Ms. Kline has conducted and transcribed several of the 100+ interviews, which will ultimately be analyzed in an edited volume of essays. These histories are going to be a real treasure trove. When future academics want to know what Mormon womens lives are like in the twentieth century, this will be a major resource to turn to, said Ms. Kline, a PhD student and former high school Latin teacher. To examine the fullest spectrum of lives possible, a diversity of women were selected, from the extremely devout to those not practicing at all; from those born within Mormonism to those who converted; from high school graduates to those with PhDs. Among the eclectic stories, from her vantage point as a Mormon feminist, Ms. Kline is most intrigued by interviewees who questioned their placewomens placewithin the organizational structure of the Mormon church and within Mormon theology, because, in both, one could easily argue that women are subordinate, she said. I am drawn to feminist issues, and what stood out to me were moments when women asserted their agency, their personal choice, to follow their consciences. Maybe they resist what a church leader tells them to do, or they innovate in the way they practice their Mormon faith, Ms. Kline continued. Im drawn to stories of women finessing leaders, nuancing the message, making the Mormon tradition work for them in new and different ways. Ms. Kline reflected that perhaps her feminist leanings began to form at an early age, having grown up the daughter of a single, widowed mother and therefore not reared in a male-headed household. Her interests in male/female roles blossomed during her undergraduate studies at Scripps College. It was only a matter of time before I turned my feminist lens onto my culture, she said, sharing that for a long time she did not do so. It was frightening, she continued, but I finally found there were other Mormon feminists in the world. When youre 22 years old and youve never met another, you dont think they exist. More than a decade ago, during a period of earnest contemplation and questioning about the place of women as taught and practiced in the Mormon religion, Ms. Kline came to a personal truth about her place in the world. It arose as she was grappling with the Mormon belief that the man in the family presides over the woman and children. She asserts: I am fully human, fully responsible before God, an agent in my own right, and an equal partner in the truest sense of
the world. My future husband would need to see me as such for my marriage to survive. And God must see me as such as well. Interestingly, in the pages and pages of transcribed interviews with Mormon women, virtually no evidence of male dominance within the family unit emerged, which comforted Ms. Kline.
rom what I see in the histories recorded and my own personal experiences with the Mormon women I know, especially women of my generation, women are absolutely not putting up with their husbands telling them what to do. They are asserting their own opinions, and the couples are focusing more on equal partnership, which is taught alongside ideas about males presiding in the home, said Ms. Kline, the married mother of 2 young children. I appreciate how much of a sense of self these women have even though they are within this system that is patriarchal.
Within the actual church, however, Ms. Kline observes there are fewer opportunities than in the home for women to contribute as equal partners with men. For example, all Mormon men are ordained as members of the priesthood, which grants them authority to give blessings, perform baptisms and govern congregations in administrative capacities. Because women are excluded from this priesthood, they have limited opportunities for leadership within the church. Patriarchy is much more apparent and intact in the organizational structure of the church. All positions held by women in the church are subordinate to male priesthood supervision, she explained. Generally, its just something Mormon women go along with. In fact, most dont have a problem with it. They tend to view the priesthood as service, rather than power. But though a regular churchgoer and devoted member of the church, Ms. Kline is not content to merely accept the current policies that prevent women from participating in church activity as equals in every way. I am a liberal feminist, which means I would like to see women incorporated into the existing hierarchy of the church, Ms. Kline remarked. I want full equality between men and women in terms of opportunities to serve. That puts me in a very different place than the majority of Mormons. Ms. Kline realizes that her progressive visions are lofty and controversial, and any changes will be incremental and take time. But her sense of responsibility to voice the vital questions and encourage others to do the same compels her forward.
I dont personally have the power to change anything on a doctrinal or organizational level, but I do have the power to ask the questions, raise the issues and encourage people to think about them and talk about them. When theres a groundswell of questions about gender roles and the leaders begin to talk about the issue, thats when theres a chance for change. One channel for generating discussion about womens roles in Mormonism is the blog that Ms. Kline co-founded: www.the-exponent.com. The blog provides a forum for Mormon women to engage in open and honest communication about Mormon feminism and Mormon womens issues in a broader sense. Ms. Kline is also a founding board member of WAVE (Women Advocating for Voice and Equality), a group of activists striving for greater and more equal participation of women in church meetings. Though not in agreement with every practice and teaching of her faith, Ms. Kline chooses to remain steadfastly devoted to the church for numerous reasons, primarily because of her commitment to and love for her family and her profound respect for many ideas in the Mormon belief system. For instance, Mormons believe that every human has divine potential, and that ultimately humans can evolve to be gods themselves, she explained. Mormonism, at the root of its theology, reduces the distance between humans and God. There is something lovely and radical and democratic about that that I find very empowering. Additionally, Ms. Kline values the chance to create space for other Mormon feminists to courageously address similar matters. Im one more person who doesnt quite fit the mold, and my presence makes it easier for the next woman who wonders if theres a place for her in the organization. Having now encountered a plethora of likeminded women, Ms. Kline is confident that there will definitely be the next woman, and then the next woman, and then the next who will advance the ideas of Mormon feminism. Things will change. I only hope that my Mormon sisters and I can contribute graciously and generously to the conversation as we work to uplift and empower all humans in our fold.

Conrad Rensch
Conrad Joseph Rensch died on December 4, 2010 at his home in Duarte. He was 84. Mr. Rensch was the 4th of 13 children born to Conrad and Marie Rensch on September 3, 1926 in the small South Dakota town of Ramona. We didnt have zip codeswe did have some zip though, needed it on some of the cold winter days, Mr. Rensch wrote in a journal for his granddaughter Jenelle Renschs 16th birthday in 2003. Ms. Rensch is the Claremont COURIERs graphic designer and calendar editor. Mr. Rensch played basketball in high school and, in 1944, he enlisted in the US Marine Corps. Later, he wrote the following about his World War II experience: I was sent into the Pacific theater to fight the Japs as we called them. I landed on Iwo Jima during the battle there. I never got hurt, but an awful lot of our men werea very bloody battle. From November 16, 1944 to June 3, 1946, he served under the 4th Marine Division in the 23rd Regiment, 1st Battalion. Before receiving an honorable discharge, he served in the Hawaiian Island areas, Marianas Island area, Iwo Jima, Okinawa and the Ryukyu Islands. On February 17, 1949, Mr. Rensch
World War II veteran, craftsman, devout Catholic

After retiring as a supervisor at Stauffer Chemical Company in Carson, Mr. Rensch spent much of his time crafting furniture, modifying his home and creating novelties like wooden toys for his grandchildren. He also attended church regularly and worked in his garden, growing tomatoes, zucchini and other vegetables. Reflecting on her husbands life, his devotion to God and his love for gardening, Mr. Renschs wife found this poem comforting: God looked around His garden And found an empty space; He then looked down upon this earth And saw your tired face; He put his arms around you And lifted you to rest; Gods garden must be beautiful, He only takes the best. married his high school sweetheart, Betty Dooley. They had grown up just across the street from each other. I was accused of having many girlfriends, but Betty was really the only girlfriend I ever had, he once said. Mr. Rensch worked on a farm and as a grain elevator manager, moving from town to town until finally settling in Duarte in 1970 with his wife and 2 children, John and Lori.
Unknown
Family and friends will remember Mr. Rensch for his stories of his time in the war and living in South Dakota. He was known to speak his mind and would never pass up the opportunity for good old-fashioned conversation. His grandchildren remember him for his bear hugs that he would say he lived for. And he always followed the mighty hugs with, I love you. More than you know.
Mr. Rensch is survived by his wife, Betty Rensch of Duarte; his son and daughter-in-law, John and Vicki Rensch of Glendora; his daughter and son-inlaw, Lori and Eric Hanson of Covina; his grandchildren, Jenelle Rensch and Ashley and Ryan Hanson; his sisters, Dorothy Maxine (Rensch) Newcomb, Georgene Amelia (Rensch) Bowlin, Ava Mae (Rensch) Pennarian, Mary Joan (Rensch) Hoftiezer; and his brothers, Kenneth Ray Rensch, Albert Graydon Rensch and Merle Thomas Rensch. He was predeceased by his sisters Mary Lois Rensch, Devota Marie (Rensch) Nelson, Phyllis Ann (Rensch) Rogers and Elizabeth Jean (Rensch) Minnaert; and by his brother, Carroll Anthony Rensch. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to The American Diabetes Association, PO Box 11454, Alexandria, VA 22312; www.diabetes.org. If making a donation, please provide Conrad Renschs name, the name and address of the Rensch family (or the Claremont COURIER address may be used) to ensure that the Rensch family will be notified of your gift.

COURIER photos/Steven Felschundneff Students Michael Reis, left, and Max McDermott sing a Spanish language friendship song on Tuesday at Chaparral Elementary School. Scripps College students Hope Simpson, left, and Ben Storlie lead a Spanish class on Tuesday at Chaparral Elementary School. The students are part of the Scripps World Language program which spent the semester teaching foreign language and culture at the school.
Seeing the world through a unique language program
f the introduction to a foreign language is about exposure, Chaparral Elementary School makes sure its students will get a multiple years worth before moving on to junior high school.
The school has spent the last 12 weeks implementing foreign language instruction each Tuesday and Thursday through a partnership with Scripps College professor Thierry Boucquey and his students. The languages include Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, French and Hindi. The Scripps World Language program is an incredible opportunity, not only for our entire upper grade students, but also the college-age students who teach the
class twice a week for the fall semester, said Chaparral Principal Lori Kerns. Our Chaparral students get a real perspective of not only the language, but the culture of a different country. Dr. Boucquey and his students are very professional, hard-working and encouraging as they rolemodel college success for our students. Dr. Boucquey teaches one of several Scripps College core classes on campus. His course deals specifically with teaching foreign language to elementary students in the community. The Scripps professor said that Chapar-
ral has been a good fit for the past 13 years. While Chaparral students benefit through a multicultural experience, Dr. Boucquey believes his students likewise benefit from the elementary classroom experience. My students do independent projects where they are

totally responsible for the curriculum, he said. They form teams of 2 and spend 12 weeks in the classroom. I think one of the best ways to learn how to teach is by doing it. Were going to discuss and critique the videos weve recorded in order to learn from the experience. I enjoy this course and its a lot different from the other ones I teach because the learning curve is so steep. Chaparral teachers aide and Scripps College student Eugenie Hong has been full circle with the World Languages program. As a former Chaparral student herself, she took French in 4th grade and Spanish in 6th grade. Yet she could not have predicted eventually attending
Scripps College and teaching Korean to Chaparral students as part of Dr. Boucqueys class 2 years ago. Ms. Hong said the most significant part of the World Languages program is how students are exposed to a different culture through learning basics of the language. I realize that when I look back, I can remember how I learned French and Spanish, Ms. Hong said. It still sticks with me. I feel the way that Dr. Boucquey tries to teach is great because it is the cultural aspects that stick. The letters pass by but when you culturally learn something, it sticks. Ms. Hongs former Chaparral teacher, Ken Knox, has welcomed Scripps College students into his classroom since the program began. Mr. Knoxs classroom
was also the site of a Spanish-themed party on Tuesday to celebrate the end of the 12-week session. He and other participating teachers have set aside time for foreign language instruction because they believe the program is worthwhile. Its the basic exposure thats important, Mr. Knox said. Theyre not worrying about conjugating verbs. And since Spanish is so prevalent in California, why not do it? Sixth grader Asha Penperase has learned the basics of French, Chinese and Spanish over the past 4 years. More importantly, she has found a new appreciation for the 3 cultures. Its really fun and we really learn a lot about the cultures, Asha said. For example, well have homework about colors and well have to write the name of
the color is in Spanish. My parents speak Spanish so this has been helpful for when I speak with them. And as Im getting older, Im understanding the language better. Fellow 6th grader Michael Reis said that he has found a practical use for his 3 years of Spanish experience at Chaparral on the soccer field. On my team, almost everybody speaks Spanish, he said. This has helped me to be able to [better] understand what they are saying. I really like learning about different languages and cultures.

laremont High School history teacher Jen Gomez and English teacher Martha Stein came up with a different way for students to learn about the age of Imperialismdebate it.
With voices rising and an intense environment to boot, the final rounds of a weeklong debate tournament took place inside Taylor Hall on Thursday afternoon with teams of 2 debating the pros and cons of imperialism between 1800 and 1914. CHS sophomore Nick Rago and Matthew Thomas defeated fellow sophomores Eva Landsberg and Sam Schiffris in the finals to win the first ever Great Debate. This was good stuff, Matthew said. Im in Speech & Debate and while this was pretty chill and laid back compared with our usual tournaments, it was still pretty hard to get to the finals [and win]. It was not easy. Most of the other students, including Matthews teammate Nick, had never participated in a formal debate before. Yet the experience turned out to be a good one for the CHS sophomore. It was mostly the research that was hard and exhausting, but the debate itself was pretty simple, Nick said. In the first preliminary round, it was a bit nerve-wracking but I didnt feel disadvantaged because Ms. Gomez prepared us wonderfully. According to Ms. Stein, the idea for the debate tournament was birthed during the summer. The English teacher credits Ms. Gomez with the idea and the teachers received help from students representing the Wolfcast video crew, video production crew and CHS Speech & Debate. Jen [Gomez] and I met up during the summer when we were planning our curriculum, Ms. Stein recalled. She said, Why dont we do a Great Debate? Then our students offered insight to the debate because we had never done something like this before. Its been a really positive experience and for kids who are normally shy,

History teacher Jen Gomez waits for the student judges to finish rating a first round debate Thursday in Claremont. The combined honors world history and honors English classes from Claremont High School held the event which they called the Great Debate.

Students try a new way of learning

its been huge. Its taken them out of their comfort zones. eaturing 111 CHS students, the tournament began on Monday. A team had to get through 6 rounds in order to qualify for the finals. The quarterfinal, semifinal and final rounds took place on Thursday. Like all other matches in the tournament, the final match came down to which side could prove whether imperialism was ultimately good or bad. The team of Nick-Matthew contended that imperialism led to better education and a better economy. Meanwhile, the duo of Eva and Sam contended that imperialism led to death and an economic collapse. Though Sam attempted to convince the student judges that the cons outweighed the pros in a moral sense, the judges still sided with Nick and Matthews contention in the end. Yet the sophomore still enjoyed the experience. The preliminary rounds were simple but after that, it got harder, Sam said. You had to do enough research in order
to be able to refute whatever the other team presented. Students were given 2 weeks to prepare for the tournament by researching evidence for their contentions. The data was cited in their presentations. Eva believes she and her peers learned more about the topic because the research allowed them to take ownership in their learning. This really encouraged us to learn on our own, she said. Then our teacher went over the entire format so we knew what to expect. So it wasnt scary. Ms. Gomez announced at the end of the event that the debate tournament would return next year. She also thanked all the student participants for their efforts in making the event a success. We are continuing this next year, she said. The students did great and at the same time, theyve accomplished several standards through the exercise.

Wolfpack opens season as tournament champs

The Claremont High School varsity boys soccer team has started off 2010 with a bang. Henry Falotico, Hugo Lepe and Esai Ramirez all scored on Monday as the Wolfpack blanked Upland in the finals of the Rancho Cucamonga Tournament, 3-0, to capture the championship. Stephen Barba, Denes Kantor and Cooper Weissman all contributed one assist apiece. The Wolpacks win against the Highlanders was the largest margin of victory to date this season for Claremont. CHS picked up a 2-0 win against Riverside Poly to open the tournament on December 1st, played to a 2-2 tie against Valley View on December 2nd, recorded a 2-0 shutout over Vista Murrieta on Saturday afternoon and then defeated Montclair on penalty kicks (4-3) on Saturday night to qualify for Mondays final round. Lepe was Claremonts leading scorer in the tournament with 3 goals. Kantor recorded 2 goals and 2 assists while goalie Jake Teague totaled 13 saves. With a 2-1 victory over Diamond Bar on Thursday, Claremonts 2010 start at 5-0-1 is better than the Packs 3-3 record after 6 games in 2009. CHS finished with an overall record of 12-11-1 and was eliminated in the first round of the CIF playoffs. This years team is one of the few CHS varsity sports programs to have all juniors and seniors on the roster. Eleven of the players are juniors while 10 are seniors. While the roster features plenty of familiarity, the Pack will play its first season in the Sierra League. CHS shares the league with Ayala, Charter Oak, Chino Hills, Damien and South Hills. League play begins for Claremont on January 12, 2011 at Chino Hills (5 p.m.). The Wolfpack will finish out 2010 with a home match against Glendora on Tuesday (5:30 p.m.) and will compete in the Upland Tournament on Monday, December 27th.

THE PETITION requests the decedents will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act.

A HEARING on the petition will be held on January 5, 2011 at 8:30 AM in Dept. No. 9 located at 111 N. Hill St., Los Angeles, CA 90012. IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the deceased, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within four months from the date of first issuance of letters as provided in Probate Code section 9100. The time for filing claims will not expire before four months from the hearing date noticed above. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court.
