Embracing self-esteem, part II

[[Editors note: Claremont Girl Scout Junior Troop 1094 from Sycamore School is in the midst of earning a Becoming a Teen merit badge and, as such, have been working to debunk the myth of beauty in the media through an examination of airbrushed and Photoshop-enhanced images of women and girls online and in print. A series of letters the girls wrote in response to an article on a project undertaken by Girl Scout Troop 5364, Embracing self-esteem instead of false beauty, is published below. KD] Dear Editor: Thank you for publishing this article on the Girl Scout troops badge on self-esteem. I believe that this is truly a cause that should be more recognized, and I think it will be. Your reporter paid good attention to details, aside from the fact that troop leader Tina Mann is actually a Sycamore teacher, not Sumner. I was very impressed that this article made the front page and got a very good amount of your space and time. It was nice that you got the perspective of Lara Jenkins. I liked what she had to say. Thank you,

Dear Editor: I am writing because I would like you to know how much I appreciate the article that you put in about self-esteem vs. fake beauty (Girl Scouts embrace self-esteem instead of false beauty). I feel that it is very important to get the point across to all girlsincluding me that self-esteem is more important than looks and Photoshopped images. People should not stress out over beauty and weight when there are so many more important things. Thank you for listening to my points. Sincerely, Lucy Chinn

READERS COMMENTS
Dear Editor: I thought that Girl Scout Troop 5364 (Girl Scouts embrace self-esteem instead of false beauty) did a great job getting the point across about inner beautythat what is on the inside counts and your beauty [should be] shown in your own ways. I think beauty pageants are fake, because the girls get all dressed up and put on so much make-up so we cant see who they really are. Sincerely,
Lilly Pugno Troop 1094

Dear Editor: Thank you for putting the article in the COURIER about fake beauty! I liked it because it was a great article that showed what is on the inside [of us] is the most important, not just whats on the outside. It was helpful because it can help girls feel confident about themselves. Thanks again! Love,

Dear Editor: I really appreciate the fact that you put this article in the COURIER (Girl Scouts embrace self-esteem instead of false beauty). My troop and I have been learning a bit about this and how lots of images in magazines are fake. Ive also seen some YouTube videos that say the same thing. There are a lot of Photoshopped models that young teenagers dont know about and Im glad that you are bringing this to awareness. From,

Dear Editor: I thank you for coming up with the idea to write the article Girl Scouts embrace self-esteem instead of false beauty, because it helps remind young teenagers they dont need a lot of make-up, popular apps or the new style of clothes to express themselves.

Dear Editor: Thank you for publishing this article! My Girl Scout troop and I recently were talking about how People magazine and other magazines Photoshop their pictures. We also watched videos on YouTube about Photoshopped models and actresses and we all decided the women look much better before they were Photoshopped. Again, thank you! Love,

CORRECTION In the article Girl Scouts embrace self-esteem instead of false beauty published Friday, April 18, we incorrectly identified Girl Scout Troop 1094 leader Tina Mann as a Sumner School teacher when she, in fact, teaches at Sycamore Elementary. The COURIER apologizes for the error.

Date farmer charged in Claremont assault has criminal past
oseph Chandler Davall, the man arrested and charged with the rape of a 12-year-old Claremont girl, is no stranger to law enforcement or the California legal system.
According to court records obtained by the COURIER, the 34-year-old date farmer has a history of criminal behavior spanning almost two decades and covering at least four counties throughout the state. In addition to the seven felony counts in Los Angeles County, Mr. Davall has previously been charged with various other crimes in San Bernardino County, Riverside County and Ventura County. Those charges include but are not limited to: assault with intent to rape, public intoxication, indecent exposure, grand theft as well as reckless driving and other traffic-related offenses. A tally of Mr. Davalls criminal cases total 20 or more in just 15 years, beginning at the age of 18 when he plead guilty to unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor. Hes been in and out of jail and on probation for much of his adult life. In January 2013, Mr. Davall was arrested and charged with misdemeanor indecent exposure in Ventura County. The Yucca Valley resident posted $10,000 and was freed on bail. The case is scheduled for trial in May, however, his attorney Rodney Soda says he expects the judge will issue a warrant for his client for non-appearance and will continue the trial date given that Mr. Davall remains in custodyfor the Claremont assault. In October 2012, Mr. Davall was charged with assault with intent to rape, assault with a deadly weapon, false imprisonment and burglary for allegedly breaking into a nude-optional resort in Desert Hot Springs and assaulting a woman with a flashlight. According to court records, Mr. Davall is set to stand trial in Riverside County on those charges, although a mandatory settlement conference has been scheduled for Monday. A little over a year later in September 2013, Mr. Davall was arrested and charged by the Riverside County District Attorney for public intoxication to which he entered a plea of not guilty. This case is also
scheduled for a mandatory settlement conference on May 5. Mr. Davall has previously been convicted of making criminal threats, grand theft and unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor. Despite his history of arrests and convictions, Mr. Davalls family members are shocked by the latest charges against him. According to Calvin Lott, Mr. Davalls cousin and business partner, those closest to him are still trying to wrap their heads around it. Nobody can believe it. Hes a generous guy, always wanting to help when he could. Its just unreal. Mr. Lott tells the COURIER that although their business, Dates by Davall, used to sell their wares at the Claremont Farmers Market, their contract expired several years ago and they havent been in Claremont since. Ive no idea what Joseph was doing in Claremont, says Mr. Lott. As far as I know, he doesnt have any business there. Although Mr. Davall is registered with the California Department of Food and Agriculture as a Certified Producer in the Certified Farmers Market Program, Mr. Lott claims his cousin works onsite in Coachella Valley and hasnt attended a farmers market in quite some time. He mostly works managing the markets now. Sometimes hell work in the grove, but he doesnt go to any of the farmers markets anymore. He hasnt done that in a while, he says, adding Weve got vendors who sell our dates at markets in counties all over the state. The good news is Claremont residents can rest a bit easier knowing Mr. Davall remains behind bars, held on $5 million bail. As the COURIER previously reported, the accused
rapist was taken into custody at his Yucca Valley home on April 18 after a short pursuit involving Claremont police and the San Bernardino Sheriff. Police previously confirmed evidence relating to the Claremont crime was found at Mr. Davalls residence. The Los Angeles District Attorneys office confirmed authorities linked the date farmer to the Claremont attack through the Combined DNA Index System. As reported, the 12-year-old Claremont victim was home alone on the night of the attack, raising questions about the whereabouts of her parents. Sources tell the COURIER that the girl lives with her single father and younger brother. Many people speculated that the parents had been at work when the girl was attacked. Were told that is not the case. The victims father and her younger sibling were both away from the residencealthough they were not together when the crime occurred. Surprisingly, California does not have an age requirement to leave a child home alone. The National SAFE KIDS Campaign states that no child under the age of 12 should be left home alone although each state has a different law. Even though a state may view a 12-year-old as old enough to be home alone, each parent must decide whats right for their child. Many factors may go into this important decision such as the neighborhood, maturity of the child and the length of time he or she will be home alone. For more information on the California law, visit: www.latchkey-kids.com While the victim deals with the trauma inflicted upon her and Mr. Davall remains behind bars, Claremont police continue their investigation to see if other cases could be tied to the accused. Right now, its still an open investigation, says Det. James Hughes. Were reaching out to other agencies nationwide to investigate the possibility of more victims. No other details are being released at this time. Unlike many of his previous arrests, Mr. Davall has been unable to post bail and remains in custody in Mens Central Jail. If convicted as charged, the accused faces a maximum sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole. He is scheduled for arraignment on May 14. The COURIER will follow up on his court case.

POLICE BLOTTER
Wednesday, April 23 Claremont police responded to a call of an auto theft in progress on the 700 block of Towne Avenue around 2 a.m Wednesday morning. The victim stated that the gray, four-door 1988 Toyota Camry was locked and parked when he witnessed the vehicle back out of the driveway with the headlights turned off and then proceed to travel southbound on Towne Avenue. Officers conducted a thorough search of the area but were unable to immediately locate the vehicle. Pomona PD recovered the Camry, valued at $1200, on Sunday. The victim told the officers that a spare key was available in the glove box when the vehicle was stolen. **** A street sweeper removed more than roadside debris from a Claremont street on Wednesday when he took out a Metrolink railroad crossing arm. The driver told police that he was sweeping on the west curb of Claremont Boulevard when he realized the train was coming. Fearing that he wouldnt have enough time to clear the tracks, the driver attempted to back the vehicle up when the arm of the railroad crossing struck the top of his truck and fell to the ground. Friday, April 25 A Nevada man was arrested Friday after matching the description of a suspect and then admitting to committing the crime. Police responded to a call placed at 6:43 a.m. by a Claremont homeowner who reported a burglary in progress on the 400 block of Harrison Avenue. Responding officers were unable to locate the suspect on site, but they were able to get a description of the trespasser from the homeowner. Police later spotted the suspect outside of a business on the 800 block of Foothill Boulevard and the victim identified himself as the intruder. Nicholas Ragopolston, 34, was booked for misdemeanor trespassing and released on $500 bail.
Saturday, April 26 Saturday was a busy workday for thieves who broke into a construction site and made off with building materials that didnt belong to them. An unknown number of intruders gained access to the site at Base Line Road and Mountain Avenue by cutting through the chain link fence surrounding the property. The bandit(s) then took it one step further, cutting through a cable securing a forklift that was then used to load and remove plywood from the site. When all was said and done, the hooliganism resulted in more than $1800 in damages. Although there are no suspects, the good news is there might be a kid somewhere with a really nice treehouse. **** A Good Samaritan helped prevent an attempted robbery when he came to the aid of two bicyclists who were under attack from bullies trying to steal their bikes. The two youngsters were riding near Culmore Street and Towne Avenue when two male Hispanics in their mid20s jumped out of the bushes and attempted to steal the boys rides. A
Claremont resident on his rooftop witnessed the attack and began to yell at the suspects, who then fled to their vehicle and took offwithout the bikes. The suspects vehicle is described as a late model, white or light gray Honda Civic. **** Four juvenile vandals were booked and released to their parents late Saturday night following their arrest for damage they caused to Chaparral Elementary School. At 9:58 p.m., Claremont police responded to a vandalism call and arrived on scene, where officers discovered broken sprinkler heads as well as a shed with several dents, a damaged lock and a large rock nearby. Four malestwo 14-year-old and two 15-year-oldswere found at a nearby park and when questioned, admitted to breaking the sprinklers, while only two admitted throwing the rock at the shed. The foursome was cited by police and most likely got a good talking to from their parents.

EDUCATION
Removal of CHS booster group results in new officers, lots of questions
fter a special meeting last night in which new officers were elected, the Class of 2017 boosters are ready to move forward, continuing with their efforts to raise money for their kids upcoming graduation night.
Some hard feelings and a lot of questions remain, however. The move to nominate and approve a new slate of officers comes after the removal of some of the volunteer groups previous officers by the Claremont Parent Faculty Association (CPFA). The CPFA board has ousted three members of the Class of 2017 booster organization: president Corrina Comia, vice president Ginalee Allen and secretary Tina Huey. The booster groups treasurer Ivana Garcia recently stepped down voluntarily from her post and is now serving as treasurer for the Claremont High School PFA. CPFA President Marcia Rodgers has cited irregularities evidenced by the officers during a Valentines Day dinner/dance fundraiser as the reason for the womens removal. Chief among these is their use of a credit card swiper for guests who wanted to buy booster swag, which according to Ms. Rodgers is against booster bylaws. Rules were broken, she asserted at the meeting. That puts all of the groups in jeopardy. Ms. Comia and Ms. Allen maintain that they got the swiper on the advice of CPFA vice president Julie Pedroza. Ms. Pedroza was not present at Wednesday evenings meeting, which drew about 25 attendees, nor has the COURIER contacted her regarding this matter. They also say they have documentation showing that former treasurer Patty Caro signed for the swiper, so they wonder why they have been singled out for blame. Whats more, the ousted officers say Ms. Rodgers, who has served as CPFA president since 2006, has broken rules of her own by not following what they say is a state-mandated 4-year term limit for officers of a California Corporation. They have likewise questioned whether Ms. Rodgers lengthy term might not violate CPFA bylaws. They have no way of being sure at this time, Ms. Allen said, because the CPFA has not handed out its bylaws to the booster group as a whole. Ms. Allen says she was given a copy of the bylaws by Tammy Desalvo, who is in charge of insurance issues for the CPFA. However, she says the second of the nine pages, which presumably would have detailed whether or not there are term limits, was missing. At Wednesday nights meeting, Ms. Rodgers maintained that there are no term limits in CPFA bylaws. Tensions running high The conflict between the CPFA and the former Class of 2017 booster offi-
In my opinion, CPFA needs to go away. I would feel much better with the national PTA structure than the current leadership group...They seem arbitrary and punitive.
Laurie Haney LoBocchiaro Class of 2017 booster parent
cers has been brewing for some time, according to Ms. Comia. Things came to a head on April 13 when she, Ms. Allen and Ms. Huey received an email from Ms. Rodgers, sent on behalf of the Subcommittee of the Claremont Parent Faculty Association. In her missive, Ms. Rodgers relayed a decision made at the subcommittees April 3 meeting, which she noted was attended by CPFA legal counsel. The women were asked to step down from their posts immediately and return all booster club property and accounting materials to CPFA Vice President Holly Stott within two days. She also informed the CSH parents that they may not hold any other office or board position within the Claremont Parent Faculty Association or its affiliates or subsidiaries through the end of the 2014-2015 school year. The CPFA is a nonprofit group that serves as an umbrella for the Parent Faculty Associations of every school in the Claremont Unified School District. Every booster group within the district also falls within the groups purview. So Ms. Rodgers and Ms. Allen have effectively been told that they may not volunteer in any capacity for any CUSD group. Ms. Allen, who calls her dismissal a witch hunt, has a son who is a freshman at CHS. Currently the treasurer of the swim team boosters, she has no plans to step down because she doesnt believe the CPFA has the right to demand her resignation given that shes been fulfilling her duties conscientiously. Wednesday's meeting was rife with tension, giving credence to Ms. Allens assertion that the CPFA executive board is like The Real Housewives of Claremont. An uncomfortable silence pervaded the room for 10 minutes while attendees were asked to read the minutes of the previous meeting in preparation to approve the record. And despite Ms. Rodgers attempts to keep everyone on track with what she said was the purpose of the meeting, the formation of a
new Class of 2017 booster board, guests expressed a number of concerns before agreeing to approve the minutes. A few boosters expressed consternation about the process through which Ms. Comia and Ms. Allen were removed. I just dont understand how you guys, as an executive committee, can sit on a subcommittee, booster MikeAnn Konop said. Wheres the bias? Amy Weiler said it particularly bothered her that the subcommittee didnt take the time to listen to the former officers explanation of their actions. How can directions be given to a subcommittee when you didnt hear the other side? she wondered. I still dont understand how [Ms. Allen and Ms. Comia] broke the rules. Did you talk to more than one person? The Valentines Day fundraiser yielded $2,500 in apparel sales alone, helping to move the boosters along nicely toward their ultimate $100,000 goal. To Ms. Weilers way of thinking, the healthy take and the cordial, festive atmosphere constituted a successful fundraiser. They seemed to do everything right, she said. Ms. Rodgers reminded Ms. Weiler that the current order of business was to approve the minutes of an April 16 meeting, whose purpose had been to nominate new officers for the Class of 2017 booster group. No one had expressed an interest at serving on the booster board at that particular gathering. She also emphasized that Ms. Comia and Ms. Allen had committed further infractions, to which boosters were not privy. Its confidential. We liken it to a personnel issue, she said. Because of the violations, we didnt want to divulge all of that, so they can continue to volunteer and maintain their dignity, Ms. Rodgers said. Ms. Allen and Ms. Comia, who were in attendance at the meeting, say the only allegations they are aware of are the ones made public. Ms. Rodgers, by contrast, says the women are well aware of their misdeeds and that the CPFA has spent sufficient time explaining why the ranks of the 2017 booster club need to be changed. Ms. Allen and Ms. Comia say they are angry, confused and filled with questions about the CPFA, which they feel has no accountability. Both CHS Principal Brett OConnor and CUSD Superintendent Jim Elsasser have expressed that, given the nature of the CPFA, there is little they can do to intervene with its activities, providing its members are doing nothing illegal. Two guests at the meeting, CHS parents Kim Mitchell and Kelly Carson, share the frustration felt by Ms. Allen and Ms. Comia. In 2011, they say they were removed as officers on the Wolfgang hip hop team boosters. Ms. Mitchell and Ms. Carson were serving as treasurer and president, respectively. They say their removal came after they made complaints about CHS per-
sonnel involved in the direction of the dance troupe, charges that resulted in the resignation of the parties involved. They assert that the other officers in the Wolfgang booster organization said they were given permission to oust their treasurer and vice president by Ms. Rodgers. Ms. Mitchell and Ms. Carson say they were told they had to go because they refused to move on from the drama. Mark Carson spoke up, saying that what happened to the Class of 2017 booster board was a repeat of what had happened to his wife and Ms. Mitchell. Ms. Rodgers reminded the group once more that the meeting was about moving forward with a new board. We want this to be a peaceful meeting, she said. I dont want to argue with you. Ms. Allens husband, Marc, also came to the meeting. He was not just there to support his wife. As a CHS parent, Mr. Allen said he has a vested interest in the districts volunteer groups. The meeting reinforced his belief that the CPFA is an unhealthy organization. Its just more of the smoke and mirrors and lack of transparency that plagues the school, he said. One 2017 booster member, Laurie Haney LoBocchiaro, also expressed frustration at the overall organization and business practices of the Claremont Parent Faculty Association. In my opinion, CPFA needs to go away. I would feel much better with the national PTA structure than the current leadership group, she said. No one knows when the meetings are. No one knows how the elections are handled or how to be nominatedThey seem arbitrary and punitive. Class of 2017 boosters eventually approved the minutes of the previous meeting and went on to nominate and approve Ms. Konop as their new president and Ms. Weiler as their new vice president as well as selecting a new treasurer and secretary. Several Class of 2017 boosters stressed that they would like to see the new officers mentored more fully and with less misinformation. I would hope the recent nominees receive training and all support procedures necessary, so they dont end up in the same situation as the other group, booster Cynthia McGwire said. At the conclusion of the meeting, Ms. Stott expressed relief that the booster group had accomplished the purpose of the meeting: Im glad you got a board. I was afraid you werent going to be able to fundraise until next September. Meanwhile, Ms. Rodgers maintains that the CPFA subcommittee did what it had to do. Its not like we were looking for concerns. They came to us, Ms. Rodgers said. And we kept having concernsand [the officers] were not responsive to redirection. What do you do when you redirect and no one listens? Sarah Torribio
Claremont on, off, through a screen

By John Pixley
e had me. Youre just like all the kids here, with their heads down, looking at their screens. I laughed, but I cant really say that I thought he was funny. It was more of a nervous laugh. Or an alarmed one.
Yep, he had me. I dont know if he was accusing mehe probably wasntbut I felt guilty. I was guilty. After all, there I was on the Pomona College campus, when the older man walked by, sitting in a shady spot with my head down reading my Kindle on a recent sunny, perfectly balmy afternoon, As I said, I dont think the man was doing anything more than making a comment, an observation. He certainly was right about the college students. In the last several years, I have been amazed, or fascinated, rather, by the students (more and more, if not all, of them) looking at screens. Whether it be on phones, on laptops and on tablets. And they look at these screens all the timewhen theyre walking around, when theyre sitting in lectures. At night, when they cross campus, I see them, their screens, glowing. It still fascinates me. But it is certainly not just the students. And its not only screens. Some years ago, I began seeing more and more people walking around talking aloud. It took me a little while to figure out that these people didnt have acute mental or psychological afflictions, nor were they drunk or high. Seriously. They were talking on the phone. They were talking on their Bluetooths (Blueteeth?) or whatever. Now I have to be careful, or even more careful, about who I call crazy. The man also said that people dont look at, dont see, each other anymore. He said that people are so busy looking at their phones that they dont look at and talk to each other anymore. But I wasnt looking at Facebook on a phone. I was using my Kindle to read. Or is that the same thing? What struck me as I sat there, and what made me
observer
laugh nervously, was that I was looking at a screen when I never thought I would. Whats more, since getting the Kindle, I get upset when I cant use it. I have become dependent on it. Or is it that Im addicted to it? I even got more of an extended warranty (a great deal, since Ive gotten the device replaced twice already). I was one of those people who loved handling actual books. I liked feeling the weight of the book and feeling the pages and turning them. I liked seeing the pages go by and knowing where I was in a book. Also, I dont like reading online unless I have a specific thing to read. I dont like all the scrolling and clicking, not to mention all the links that threaten to go on forever like a take-home final. In fact, it took me years to go on the Internet. I was afraid it would consume my life, as Id seen happen to some. I knew about Kindles, but I didnt want one. Friends suggested that I might like one, that it might be cheaper and easier for me, especially when a book would slip out from the side of my wheelchair while out and about, but I resisted and resisted. Then I was at Best Buy last year and saw that the Kindle Paperwhite (not the Fire, I dont want to go online all the time anytime) is quite manageable as there is no clicking involved. Friends believed that it would, quite literally, change my life. Yes, the Kindle is a cool, fun gadget but, for me, it is so much more than that, making it easier to live with my disability. When I got it, another door opened in my life. It was liberating to an extent I wasnt expecting. Once I got used to the swiping and tapping, the Kindle made it much easier, and often just possible, for me to read anywhere I wanted. I no longer have to worry about finding a table or about pages fluttering in the breeze.
This was all the more the case when I saw that I could get the Los Angeles Times on the Kindle. It was hard enough reading the newspaper on the table on my patio, having to hold down the pages to keep them from flying away. There was no way I could read the paper in the park or on the beach. (Too bad theres no Kindle edition of the COURIER!) As suggested by Kathleen Fitzpatrick, director of scholarly communication at the Modern Language Association and visiting research professor of English at New York University, in her talk The Humanities Digital Futures a couple months ago at Pomona College, Im reluctant to give up page numbers and other familiar formats. Even with this small, simple trick, Im a bit of an old dog, not ready to go completely digital. This isnt to say, however, that I dont wish I had gotten the Kindle years ago. (Just to be clear, Im not referring to the computer that is often attached to my wheelchairtalk about always looking at a screen!which is primarily a speech device. This is a technologyI wish I had gotten much, much earlier than I did, if only because it would have then be easier to incorporate into my life.) There are other nice benefits to getting the Kindle. Among the bonuses is that, in the long run, it is saving me a lot of money as Kindle books are considerably cheaper. I also notice that Im reading faster, and more. Perhaps the best bonus, and one that is a great surprise, is that with this screen I have even more opportunity to get out and enjoy Claremont. Who knew that going digital would give me more hands-on, direct engagement with my environs? Its true. I am no longer confined to indoors or to a table and I love being able to read the Sunday paper somewhere on the college campusesScripps and Pomona are particularly lovelyor anywhere else, for that matter. I can read while smelling the jasmine and seeing squirrels frolic in the trees and bushes and birds bathing in a water fountain. All of a sudden, with this screen, and as long as its nice outside (including not too hot, as will no doubt be the case soon), Claremont is more like one of those oh-so nice places I see people enjoying when Im away and wish wasnt so far.
Its caused by lasers, digital technology, laptop computers, cellphones, virtual reality, etc. George, youre having a bout of low tech nostalgia.
A sense of place
by John Neiuber, president of Claremont Heritage
recall fondly growing up in a small town that instilled in me a sense of place. Riding my bike through the tree-lined streets, maneuvering through traffic in the old downtown, being careful of what I did, knowing that word of my escapades would reach my parents even before I could peddle home. We built forts in the walnut grove and played hide-and-seek in the cornfield, sometimes getting lost in the stalks on summer days. The smell of the metal of the linotype machine and ink at my grandfathers newspaper office still permeate my nostrils when I think of those days. When I think of my grandchildren, I think about what things from their childhood will be firmly etched in their memories. What can I give them that will last? Something beyond the latest book or movie or toy, something they will think about throughout their lives that has value beyond material things. I tell them to be kind to everyoneto help other people, to treat plants and animals well. Hopefully, saying and modeling that enough will help them develop values that extend beyond their little worlds and to the world they will encounter as they grow. May is Preservation Month. I used to think of preservation in terms of the sense of place that is created by saving what is good and historic in the built environment. But now I think about preservation in a much more expanded way. I consider people, events, culture and the natural environment. I now see how it all ties together. And, when I look at a building, I think not only of the history but of our rapidly depleting natural resources and of the energy expended to create it. I think of ways to not lose the embodied energythe total energy spent in the production of a buildingfrom the manufacture of materials to their delivery to construction, that cannot
be regained. Preservationists are sometimes accused of being sentimentally fixated on the past. However, preservation is actually futureorienteda means to ensure that the legacy survives so future generations can learn from and be inspired by it. The preservationists goal is to keep older buildings viable so that they can play meaningful roles in the life of the community; so that we can give our children, grandchildren and their grandchildren the sense of place we enjoy in this community we call home. In 1980, long before the term sustainability came into widespread use, the National Trust for Historic Preservation published a poster that featured an old building in the shape of a gas can. It was a reminder that reusing an existing building, instead of demolishing and replacing it, is an excellent way to conserve energy. Preservation and sustainability go hand-inhand in reducing our collective carbon footprint. There is an important connection between the need to preserve our heritage and the need to address climate change and our dwindling natural resources. If you step into a new building, it is a pretty good bet that it has been built with the environment in mind. You can usually tell from the plaque on the wall announcing what LEED certification it has or you will see use of natural lighting, solar energy or systems that are more efficient. This is all well and fine. But no matter what impressive LEED credentials the building may have, retrofitting the tear-
down would have made more environmental sense. This is not a small scale issue and is graphically portrayed in the documentary, The Greenest Building, which points out that, Over the next 20 years, Americans will demolish and rebuild 30 percent of its building stock. Many of the buildings will be replaced with environmentallyfriendly green buildings. For many years we have heard the mantra, reduce, reuse, recycle for things such as aluminum cans, plastic bottles and trash bags, yet the same mantra is not applied to buildings, which make up over 40 percent of the total energy consumed nationwide. Architect Carl Elefante, AIA, is credited with the phrase: The greenest building is the one that is already built. This isnt just a rallying cry for preservationists and the sustainability folk. It is rooted in fact and research. One study conducted by Preservation Green Lab, a Seattle-based think tank, found that it can take between 10 and 80 years for a newly-constructed building to overcome the negative climate change impacts related to its construction. Even if the new building is 30 percent more efficient than an average-performing building. And thats just the construction process. It does not take into account the energy consumption required to demolish the building or the loss of the embodied energy to build it in the first place. To understand this in a different way, lets calculate the energy of buildings in a more concrete fashion. Lets turn a building into the giant gasoline can I mentioned earlier. Greenest Building.org provides energy calculators that convert building energy into standard units of measure, in this case the British Thermal Unit (BTU) for demolition energy or MBTUs (one million BTUs) for embodied energy. The BTUs can then be converted into gallons of gaso-
line. The calculators are based on buildings constructed in 1967. For our purposes here, lets use a dormitory, since we live in a college town. A 20,000 square foot dormitorys embodied energy is equivalent to 28.6 million MBTUs. The conversion gives us a total of about 2.5 gallons of gasoline representing the embodied energy in the dormitory. At $4 a gallon, the embodied energy investment is $9.9 million in todays dollars. Lets say we decide to demolish the building and build a new one. The total embodied energy for demolition and new construction would result in 572 million MBTUs and BTUs combined. Converting this gives us a total of 4.9 million gallons of gasoline for an energy investment of $19.9 million, nearly twice that of retrofitting the existing dorm. Taking the above figures into account, clearly reduce, reuse, recycle needs to be the mantra for our existing building inventory. Preservation of our built environment not only makes sense in protecting the planet and conserving our resources, but it makes economic sense. All of this brings us back to that intangible thing we all enjoy in this village we call Claremont; that sense of place and belongingthat something we all can agree upon but cant always articulate. And then I think of my grandchildren again. Will they grow up with a deep sense and appreciation of place? Will we preserve things that help to deeply root them in the community? Will we be able to make tough decisions and do the right thing now to leave them a better world? Will we slow down the damage we are doing to the environment and the planet? There is a Kenyan proverb that goes like this, You must treat the earth well. It was not given to you by your parents. It is loaned to you by your children.
Martha McCoy
Martha McCoy, who moved to Claremont in 2007 to be with her daughter, sonin-law and grandson, died on April 4, 2014. She was 81. She was born in Mesa, Colorado on December 20, 1932 to Catharine and Russell Coles. Patty, Stuart and Mary Caryl, better known as Mame, were her siblings. From Mesa, the family moved to Grand Junction, Colorado and then to a ranch in Axial Basin in an area called Stinkin Gulch. With no running water or electricity, it was challenging to raise a family there. The Coleses did their best, however, and Marthas youngest brother David was born in 1935. In 1937, the family moved to Craig, Colorado where Mr. Coles served as Treasurer of Moffatt County for many years. Young Martha attended school in Craig and graduated from Craig High School in 1951. She loved listening to Reverend Bests sermons at the Congregational Church, and she loved attending Vacation Bible School. Her oldest sister Patty was out of the house and working in Denver,so Mame and she were very close. Martha watched her brother Stuart and cousin BillHanks head off to war, played happily with her younger brother David and found that her high spirits were difficult to contain in such a small town. She

Centreville, Ohio outside of Dayton. Meeting Barry Goldwater on his 1964 presidential campaign was a highlight. In Ohio, Mr. McCoys son Tim came to live with them, and his daughter Elaine and younger son Malcolm came for summer family fun. The McCoys played a lot of bridge with other couples. Martha also played with friends Jane Resing and the Ohio-born Erma Bombeck.The famous humorist loved Marthas wonderful wit! In the spring of 1968, Mr. McCoy moved to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia to work for the French Bureau of Geological and Mineral Research. The McCoys packed up the house in Dayton and, with Tamara in tow, came back to Craig to enjoy the family. They spent the summer preparing for the move to Jeddah. The Coles family gave them a big sendoff at the airport. Martha, Jay and Tamara arrived in Jeddah in October of 1968. Ms. McCoy felt very challenged by the conditions of life in Jeddah. Although it was not easy for an American woman to accept the restrictions of Saudi society, she did her best to care for her children and make a life in the company of the other ex-pats. Weekdays were spent trying to shop for food and other necessities at the sooqalways accompanied by Abdoo, her male escort, a 14-year-old boy from Yemen. She socialized with the other wives in the American Womens Club. Weekends were filled with dinner parties at the homes of other guest workers, attending movies at various embassy compounds and spending long days at the Red Sea, snorkeling and relaxing with Austrian friends Karl and Annemarie Neibert. Thankfully, the school year came to an end; the temperature was already reaching 120 degrees at 8 oclock in the morning. Finally, it was time to come home. Looking back on her time in Jeddah later, she always felt that it was the educational experience of a lifetime. After another wonderful summer with the family in Craig, Ms. McCoy decided that she, Jay and Tamara would live in Rome for the next year while Mr. McCoy completed his contract in Jeddah. She put Jay in 9th grade at Notre Dame and Tamara in fifth at Marymount.With the kids off to school, she spent every day combing the streets of Rome for ancient ruins, art, architecture, fashion, food, churches, gardens and museums. She reveled in the history, culture, people and language.She also made many friends, like the very intelligent Croatian woman Maja Davosa.Maja took Martha

on an exploration of American literature, which led to her lifelong passion for reading, especially her favorite author, John Updike.Highlights of the year were attending school events and visiting St. Peters on Christmas and Easter, as well as trips to the sea, the port of Ostia, Hadrians Villa, Pompeii and Lago di Garda. Ms. McCoy, Jay and Tamara settled in Boulder, Colorado in August of 1970. She got a job at BOSCES, a support service for the Boulder School District. Shewas a bookkeeper for many years at Boulder Steel Company. She also worked for Bink Selby, who had several companies in Boulder, and at the renovated Highland School Building for Sinah Simantoub. Martha and Mel divorced in 1971. Ms. McCoy fit right in to the Boulder scene. These were happy years, in which she made many wonderful friends. It was good to be close to her family in Denver. In the summer of 1977, her son Jay noticed that he could not keep up with his friends while hiking, skiing and biking. He went to the doctor and was diagnosed with myotonic muscular dystrophy. He had just enrolled in Western State University in Gunnison, Colorado. Living with muscular dystrophy was the greatest challenge of Jays life, and of Marthas too. Ms. McCoy moved to California in 1986. She worked as a bookkeeper for the city of Imperial Beach and shared a house by the beach in Coronado with Melanie
and Bob Muckle. In 1988, Martha got a call from an old high school sweetheart, Bob Mitchell.She moved to Henderson, Nevada to be with him. She and Mr. Mitchell enjoyed one anothers company, traveled to Alaska and other places, and enjoyed each others children and grandchildren. With Mr. Mitchells help, Ms. McCoy discovered she had a talent for building homes.She bought land, hired crews and supervised the building of six homes in the Las Vegas area. Her detailed knowledge of building materials from her Boulder Steel days helped her in this, and she loved the process. Martha as builder even inspired a romance novel! Jay was employed by the Nevada Power Company but in 1998 he began to need more help, so Ms. McCoy moved in with him. Martha did an excellent job caring for Jay, who made her laugh every day with his fabulous one-liners. He passed away in 2002.Martha came to live with Tamara, her husband John Mark and their son Andy in Claremont in 2007.A doting grandmother, she attended every performance Andy had in high school theater and choir programs. Ms. McCoy will be remembered for being vibrant, full of style, witty, intelligent and passionate, family shared. She is survived by her sisters, Patty and Mame; by her brothers, David and Stuart; by her daughter Tamara and son-in-law John Mark; by her grandson Andy, and by many wonderful nephews and nieces. A celebration of Martha McCoys life will be held in Colorado this summer.

Martha Brundage
Artist, professor, lover of nature
Martha Brundage died peacefully at home on Easter Sunday surrounded by loved ones after a long struggle against ovarian cancer. She was 75. A resident of Claremont since 1968, she loved the citys friendliness, beauty, community spirit and dedication to intellectual and aesthetic pursuits. Ms. Brundage was born in Whittier in 1938 to musician parents. Her tromboneplaying father, Samuel Ray Donaldson, performed at the Hollywood Bowl in its early years, thereafter playing in the orchestras of major movie studios from the 1930s to the 1950s. It was one of Ms. Brundages major joys, in watching classic movies on TV, to exclaim to her husband Tony when an orchestra was shown on the screen, Theres my dad! Her mother, Delight Shamory Wallis, who lived her memorable last years in Claremont, was an accomplished pianist and trumpet player who attended UCLA at the end of World War II in pursuit of a degree in music. Her mothers determination, in an era when relatively few married women with children returned to college, inspired Ms. Brundage to her own high academic attainments. After graduating in 1956 from Immaculate Heart High School (a noted bastion of high-level achievement in the arts led by progressive-minded nuns), young Martha attended the Art Center College of Design, then in Los Angeles. The 1950s was what some consider to be the Art Centers golden age. The college were enthralled by English village life. Ms. Brundages warmth and outgoing nature served her well in making new friends, and she also found time to take college extension courses in architectural history. Returning to the United States in 1968, the family moved to Claremont when Mr. Brundage acquired a position in the Cal Poly Pomona history department. Martha took to Claremont as quickly and avidly as she had to England, involving herself in civic matters and serving on the Library and Traffic Safety commissions. She also returned to college part-time, gaining her bachelors degree in art from Cal Poly in 1980 and then moving on to graduate school at Cal State University Fullerton. She earned her masters in 1984 and MFA in 1986, specializing in printmaking with an emphasis on lithography. Her work was shown widely throughout southern California as well as nationally. Ms. Brundage also embarked on a 20year college teaching career. She taught classes in 2-D design, art history and art appreciation at about a dozen colleges throughout the southland, referring to herself proudly as a freeway flyer. Retiring from teaching in 2005, Ms. Brundage had three years of good health before the onset of her illness in 2008, turning it to good account in such activities as traveling with her husband, gardening, assisting in her daughters second-grade classroom in Covina and continuing to pursue her art. Even her fi-
OBITUARIES
was rigorous and demanding but also highly creative, its faculty boasting some of the most remarkable artists of the era, like Lorser Feitelson and John Altoon. Forced to withdraw at the start of her senior year for financial reasons, she was determined to resume her education when possible. Her first marriage, to graphic designer William Franks, ended in divorce. Their bright creative and outgoing daughter Catherine, however, was to be a major source of joy and pride to Martha throughout her life, as well as to her second husband, historian Tony Brundage, whom she married in 1964.The Brundage threesome set out for a year in England in 1967 for Mr. Brundages PhD research in British history at UCLA, the first of numerous extended stays in the UK. All
nal five-and-a-half years were marked by periods of prolonged remission when such pursuits were still possible. Martha kept her spirit, humor and warmth intact to the end, and leaves a remarkable legacy, her family shared. As the many recent phone calls, emails and letters to family members attest, she had the ability to touch people deeply, even on short acquaintance, and will be sorely missed. Ms. Brundage is survived by her husband Tony, daughter Catherine, brother William Donaldson, sister Janet Schmidt and cousins Elaina Rickert and Arnold Griffith, as well as by numerous nieces, nephews and in-laws. A service celebrating Martha Brundages life will be held on Saturday, May 10 at 2 p.m. at the Kingman Chapel of the Claremont United Church of Christ, located at 233 Harrison Ave. in Claremont. Considering Marthas love of beautiful colors, attendees are encouraged to wear bright springtime colors or accents. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that donations be made to the Pasadena City College Art Department scholarship fund. Checks made out to The Pasadena City College Foundation with the notation in memory of Martha Brundage should be sent to The Pasadena City College Foundation, Attn: Ms. Peggy Brickert, 1570 E Colorado Blvd., Pasadena, CA 91106.

Boon Companion reopens with old charm, new look
s the saying goes, when one door closes another door opens and that is quite literally the case with Claremonts legendary toyshop, Boon Companion.
After 31 years in business, longtime owners Reed and Nancy Johnson closed their doors for the very last time and handed their keys over to La Verne residents and new owners, John and Chris Peltecki. We took the keys on February 28 and about two weeks later, we opened both our doors for business, Mr. Peltecki said. Both doors are always openthat seems to be the thing people notice the most. Located on the corner of Harvard Avenue and Second Street, the shops name remains the same. However, Boon Companion has recently undergone some minor renovations, including new paint, lighting and a more stroller-friendly layout. But its what hasnt changed at the shop around the corner that is going to appeal to both new and returning customers. It was 100 percent important to us to retain the charm, Mr. Peltecki explained. The wood flooring has a lot of character. The community likes the character of the store so we just cleaned it up a bit. You cant completely renovate it or its gone. What has changed is the available toy selection with many new additions to the shelves. While favorites like Playmobil and The Original Green Toys remain, kids aged eight months to 80 years can now also pick up Lego sets, puzzles and a new selection of board games as well as books, educational toys and craft kits. And you might be surprised about the big sellers in this toyshop. Educational toys are a huge hit and we do really well with books, Mr. Peltecki noted. With all the colleges around us, we have a lot of interest. The majority of our core business is the community itself. Clearly, the Pelteckis know what theyre talking about when it comes to the toy industry. The couplealong with Chris brothers Jay and Sean Demirciftare also the proud owners of Puzzle Zoo, a successful chain of six toy stores located throughout the Los Angeles area. However, what Boon Companion offers that Puzzle Zoo cannot is a sense of community. People come in here who have been shopping here since they were 8 years old. With the other stores, its mostly tourists. Its just a different vibe. With the shop open seven days a week, Mr. and Ms. Peltecki have spent the past month or so learning about their customers needs and adjusting their inventory to fit them. This, according to Mr. Peltecki, is the couples biggest challenge thus far. Trying to maximize what the community wants takes time, he said. You cant bring everything that everybody wants, but you try to take the majority and
COURIER photos/Steven Felschundneff John and Chris Peltecki took over ownership of the Claremont Village landmark toy store Boon Companion in February following the retirement of long time owners Reed and Nancy Johnson. The new shop is both familiar and different with many of the same toys mixed with some new additions. The Pelteckis opened up a long-shuttered window and rearranged the aisles, giving the shop a brighter and more open appearance.
say okay, educational toy and books are big so thats a big plus for us. Also high on the list for the new owners is the Boon Companion customer experience. Ive been in retail for a long, long time and I think customer service is my number-one priority, he said. If the customer comes in and theyre not happy, I always tell them if theres somethinggood or badjust let me know. My main goal is to let our customers know if you bought something and your son or daughter doesnt like it, come on back. Dont feel bad! Just bring it back and pick out something else or get your money back. We want the customers to be happy. For the Pelteckis, the words of advice when they first met from Ms. Johnson continue to ring true: Take care of the community and the community will take care of you. Ms. Johnson clearly knows what shes talking about and practices what she preaches. Since ownership of Boon Companion changed hands, she has been into the shop a couple of times and believes customers will definitely enjoy the new place. They did a lot of things to fix it up, its really nice and open and bright, she said. The new owners are making it their own and thats a good thing. Ms. Johnson and her husband Reed are enjoying
their retirement and look back on their last day in the shop with great memories. Surrounded by the people whove supported them, they closed their doors for the last time. It was raining so hard, but we had lots of friends and customers come by all day, bringing notes and cards and telling us how much the store meant to them, Ms. Johnson recalled. It was such a good send off. In the days that followed the store closure, Mr. Johnson spent some time finishing up bookwork, taxes and other things with the store but, as promised,

the couple is now making great use of their retirement. When they arent babysitting their grandkids or sprucing up their yard, the Johnsons are busy planning their travels. Weve taken a couple of daytripsone to the Ronald Reagan Library, which is something Id always been wanting to do, Ms. Johnson said. And were planning a trip for the middle of May to see our friends in Oregon. Were taking the train up there, so that should be fun.
While the Johnsons are enjoying their retirement, there are a few things they do miss about the toy business. I miss my customers, my products and the conventions, Ms. Johnson said. We didnt go this year because it was too soon. We miss the reps. We made some really good friends, so it might be fun to go next year. Boon Companion is open Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Pelteckis can be reached at (909) 625-1993.

Chaparral community says Aloha to 50-year mark
t was a chilly luau, indeed, for guests at Chaparral Elementary Schools 50th anniversary celebration last Friday evening. Gusts of wind caused paper lanterns to swing to and fro, and temperatures dipping into the 50s prompted shivering students to layer coats over their Hawaiian-style garb.
School spirit, however, warmed up the crowd, which included current Chaparral families, alums who consider themselves forever Roadrunners and local luminaries like Claremont Unified School District Superintendent Jim Elsasser. Retired Chaparral Principal Dave Paul, who was the schools head administrator for 27 years, served as the guest of honor. He took to the stage after being introduced by current principal Julie Olesniewicz, clad in a Hawaiian shirt and a kukui nut necklace. Oh my goodness, you thought you got rid of me, he joked. Youre thinking, Hes back, for crying out loud. Mr. Paul discussed the changes that have taken place since the schools founding, which occurred not long after Americas post-war Baby Boom, when you couldnt build houses or schools fast enough. Perhaps the biggest transformation he has seen is the explosion of the personal computer and the growth of the information age. In the mid-60s, I worked with a computer that was as big as your teachers desk, he told the incredulous students. Then it was on to questions of the future. What is the next 50 years going to bring? What legacy will todays parents and children leave at Chaparral? Mr. Paul posed. Speaking of cheerleaders, the evenings excitement included a special announcement of the results of a student vote. Heretofore, the schools mascotwho

was represented by a mystery volunteer in a roadrunner suitwill be known as Rocket the Roadrunner. Guests stayed as long as they could stand the cold to partake in an array of family fun. At least its not raining, Ms. Olesniewicz said philosophically. Rain would come later in the night, but in the meantime there were carnival games, a hula hooping station and karate demonstrations by Claremonts Z
Ultimate Self Defense Studios to be enjoyed. Guests could also get a glittery tattoo at a booth run by a local Girl Scout troop and string wooden beads and puka shells into a necklace. Food trucks offered wares like burgers, tortas and frozen treats. There was also music aplenty, including a welcome by the Claremont High School Marching Band, a performance by the Claremont Ukulele club

and Polynesian songs presented by students . Grant Walsh joined his secondgrade class in singing a humorous ode to the triggerfish, whose Hawaiian name is notoriously long: humuhumunukunukuapuaa. As he waited in line for a food truck burger, conspicuously wearing shorts, he seemed immune to the inclement weather. Its warm, Grant insisted. His mom Amy explained that their family recently moved from a much-cooler Boston so her husband John could assume the post of associate head coach and defensive coordinator of the Pomona-Pitzer Sagehens football team. Its been a good move for her son. I like the community around Chaparral, Grant said. Its real nice and welcoming. Perhaps Mr. Young said it best during his speech, which drew applause and cheers. Chaparral is so much more than a school. Our ties last so much longer than the seven years you attend the school, he said. Its a family. This is our family reunion.

The company has created a DVD called Tap Into Col- through which she helped produce a show for the university called Faultline that prompted her to switch gears. At first I was in front of the camera, she said. But then I realized I didnt like being in front of the camera. I liked being behind it. Her experience shooting stories at school led to an internship with Paramount Pictures, in which she helped sift through the mountains of tape in the Hard Copy vault, looking for video clips to support stories. Ms. Bailey is more than a bit of a classic film buff. She cites Alfred Hitchcocks classic thriller North by Northwest and the sweeping epic Gone With the Wind as among her favorite films. I pretty much compared every man I met to Carey Grant for the first 25 years of my life, she said. So she was more than a bit star-struck at the fact that her internship took place on the Paramount lot. That lot became Ms. Baileys permanent headquarters when she was hired on permanently after breaking a story for Hard Copy about a rogue teacher who was chaining students up in his home dungeon. She was brought on to work at the tape library, but after a couple of weeks she was shifted to the assignment desk. Ms. Baileys TV career would include work on a popular program on the TLC network called Worlds Most... Additional posts included working for another caught on tape-type show and Extra, both produced by Warner Bros. It was through the Warner Bros. gig that she first met Harvey Levin, the famous executive producer and host of the TMZ reality show. Despite her preference for behind-the-scenes work, Ms. Bailey also regularly appeared on TV as one of the TMZ commentators. While Ms. Bailey said his ego seemed to grow along with his fame, she said Mr. Levinwho is a lawyer and legal analyst as well as a producermade a strong impression on her. I think Harvey, as much as I hate to admit it, kind of shaped me in terms of being a journalist. His mantra is win the story, she said. Hes a very hard worker, very committed to his work. To have that kind of zeal makes a good journalist. Ms. Bailey is excited about embarking on a career in print journalism, particularly because it will give her more time to delve into important stories. On her day, she spent hours on the phone, looking into the cross-county history of illegal activities perpetrated by Joseph Chandler Davall, the man charged with raping a 12-year-old last month at her Claremont home.

Ms. Bailey feels she has many things to offer the community. Not least among these is her unwavering dedication to objective journalism: Its important to show both sides of a story. Theres also the matter of familiarity, she said. Having grown up in Alta Loma and living just east of the City of Trees, Ms. Bailey and her family spend a lot of their recreation time in Claremont. The kids delight in getting a frozen treat at Bert & Rockys Creamery and the whole family goes gaga over Pizza n Such. When it comes to date night, Bua Thai is one of the Baileys goto locales, as is Casa 425. I love their violet martini, Ms. Bailey shared. The bartender was kind enough to share the recipe and I make them myself from time to time. Having spent so much time in Claremont, I think I know whats important to the people in this city, she said. Sarah Torribio

CHS girls track ends season tied for first in league
laremont girls varsity faced an intense battle at Chino Hills High School Wednesday, but their end result was determined by their final track and field event: the 4x400-meter relay.
Both teams were cheering near the final straightaway as each squad tried to outsmart the other against the strong winds. With a final push by junior Julia Cantrell, the Lady Wolfpack finished first in 4:08 and they won overall Claremont 68.5; Chino Hills SPORTING 67.5. LIFE The Lady Wolfpack finished their regular season as co-champions of the Sierra League along with the Huskies, according to girls Head Coach Jose Ancona. It was shocking, Ancona said. But I knew it would pay off because I put four girls in who have heart and can put in the effort. The other members in the 4x400-meter team were junior Brittney Duquette, senior Megan Renken and junior Melissa Cerrillos. While the majority of the meet was a nail-biter the Huskies swept the 100-meter hurdle, pole vault and 200-meter sprintthe Lady Wolfpack managed to sweep some key events. Despite the hectic winds, senior Drew Williams prevailed in the shot put35 feet, four inchesand senior teammates Perri Lawler and Bailey Fuimoaono finished respectively second and third with 30 feet, nine inches and 30 feet, seven inches, respectively. Another sweep occurred in the 1600-meter run where the front pack was controlled by freshman Jax Heckers, who finished first in 5:39.22. Sophomore Kiana Cavanaugh and senior Merin Arft finished right behind her in 5:39.26 and 5:39.66.
istance coach Rob Lander was proud that this trio ran smart by kicking up the pace whenever a Husky tried to break through the pack. It was a tactical race for us, Coach Lander said. The heat and wind were a big issue, but they ran well to get the points.
Freshman Annie Boos also ran strategically in the 800-meter run, where she finished first in 2:24.05. She said she stayed patiently next to her competitor, senior Husky Casey Monozlay, and waited to make the final kick. I let her break the wind, Boos said. When I reached the final 150 meters, I knew I had to sprint. Boos previously finished second in the 400-meter run, 59.65. The Huskies beat the boys track and field team, 90-45; however, some members of the Wolfpack were able to fight them off on the track. Senior Bryce Kasamoto finished first in the 800, 2:02.19. He said his competitor, freshman HuskyBrandon McNair, looked strong at the 250-meter mark but once he reached the straightaway, he knew he had to go all out. The distance squad swept the 1600 with junior Adam Johnson finishing first, 4:38.92, and junior teammates Dylan Powers and Jonah Ross finishing second and third, 4:42.17 and 4:45.24. Johnson not only dominated in the third and fourth lap but he was able to run consistently and with ease. I just stayed relaxed and used all my energy to

finish, Johnson said. Both girls and boys varsity are now focused on League Prelims, which will be held Saturday, May 3 beginning at 8:30 a.m. at Claremont High School. Softball Claremont Highs softball team lost, 2-1, against Charter Oak High School Thursday at Cahuilla Park. The Chargers got their winning run at the fifth inning, where they had two outs and the batter hit a double, according to Head Coach Vincent Hernandez. He said some errors were produced that affected the Lady Wolfpack, but they are improving and planning to turn things around in the next five games. Right now were at the halfway point and if we can make no errors or walk-in batters, we should be good, Hernandez said. Their next away game is against Ayala High School on Friday, May 2 at 3:30 p.m. Volleyball The Wolfpack won three sets in their home match against Hoover High School Tuesday. Head Coach Bernie Wendling said the match started rough, but his team was able to earn a big win that night. The set results were 25-23, 25-18 and 25-15. Strong performances were highlighted, including junior Donovan Robinsons 16 kills and senior Rory Medermotts 28 assists. Senior Eran Bechor finished the game with eight kills. Wendling said if they win in their away match against Arcadia High School, set for Thursday at 5 p.m., the Wolfpack will be able to play in the post-season. Were hanging in there and were hoping to make it to playoffs, Wendling said. The Wolfpacks overall record is 12-11 and their league record is 6-4.

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.

The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagees Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders rights against the real property only. As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations.

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: 05/21/14 at 8:30AM in Dept. 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 decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

I can't say enough about Mason's easy-going professionalism. I have worked with many real estate agentsbuying and selling a homesome good and some not so good, but Mason stands above the rest. Although a busy agent, he made us feel like we were his only clients. It is obvious that Mason takes pride in his work and helped us through what has usually been a very stressful process. We were always informed, updated and met personally when needed. There was never pressure, unnecessary stress or unanswered questions. I will recommend everyone I know to Mason!

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 should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.
