Not a typical Sunday
Dear Editor:
When I woke up, I had no idea I would
be going to a concert. Most Sundays are
boring for me, but this day I was excited
because my mom told me I would be
able to attend a concert in Claremont.
As a musician who plays the cello, I
enjoy watching others perform and there-
fore, I was excited to hear the Claremont
Young Musicians Orchestra. When I ar-
rived, I was overwhelmed by the beauty
of Bridges Hall and shocked to see the
intricate and ornate organs on the wall.
While walking to my seat, I also no-
ticed thatthe orchestra appeared to be
smaller than most orchestras and con-
sisted of violins, some cellos, a few vio-
las, a harp and other instruments that my
school band uses. After observing the or-
chestra, I now was excited to hear them
play because I havent been to a concert
in a while. Finally, after much anticipa-
tion, the orchestra started playing.
The first song they began to execute
was Overture to Nabucco, and it was
played in a very loud manner and in-
cluded contrasts that made the song come
to life. Although it was rather loud, I thor-
oughly enjoyed the song because the mu-
sicians played with a great amount of
enthusiasm. The songs to follow this one
were enjoyable to me because I felt that
the orchestra took their performance seri-
ously by playing as a cohesive ensemble.
I have never been to a concert where I
have felt part of the orchestra and I have
to say that being in Bridges Hall with the
beautiful organs and scenery surrounding
me made this a concert I will never for-
get.

Punishment for whistle-blowing
Dear Editor:
I have read the article in a recent
COURIER based on visions by the Super-
intendent of Claremont Unified School
District relative to a long-employed
teacher at Claremont High School.
The teacher cited has taught for many
years at the high school and has been
considered by his students as a successful
teacher.
Not particularly mentioned in the arti-
cle was the danger to students caused by
the failure of CHS to maintain facilities,
namely mold in the walls. I have also
heard that CHS allows the use of grass
killer on campus, which is dangerous to
the health of the students.
The teacher involved followed estab-
lished procedures in reporting the danger-
ous deficiencies that could directly affect
the health of students. There have been
few, if any, letters from parents thanking
the school teacher. In return for attempt-
ing to save students, he was subjected to
a hostile working environment and
threated with expulsion for speaking up.
In the whistle-blowing arena, it has
been said that the person who reports the
breaking of the law gets punishment, and
the person who breaks the law gets a
meritorious award.
In the statement written by the superin-
tendent, he felt it necessary to publicly
chastise the teacher, which illustrates his
bias with the situation. Everything he
said was contradicted by the police.
Hopefully, justice can prevail for the
teacher involved.

Protect our open space
Dear Editor:
Open spaces are especially valuable to
residents of densely populated areas like
Los Angeles County. They provide a
place for families to get away for the
weekend, and for kids to learn about the
outdoors. Thats why Im grateful that
Representative Judy Chu introduced leg-
islation to permanently protect the San
Gabriel Mountains.
These mountains make up over 70 per-
cent of the open space in Los Angeles
County alone. Thanks to her leadership,
we could have access to a permanently
protected place for families and children
to hike, climb, camp, stargaze, kayak,
cycle and learn about all that nature has
to offer.
Having permanently protected access
to these areas is vital for young people
who grow up in urban communities, and
have limited access to outdoors experi-
ences. Im excited that were making
progress on keeping the San Gabriels
permanently protected!

icycle riders come in all
shapes and sizes, and if
youre planning on tak-
ing to the road this summer,
theres no better place to ride
than Claremont.
With over 30 linear miles of bicycle in-
frastructure, beginner and advanced cy-
clists can stretch their legs and practice
their skills in an environment that wel-
comes the sport.
This summer, the city of Claremont
and the Claremont Senior Bike Group are
sponsoring a series of free bicycle safety
classes, teaching safe cycling techniques
on public roads and streets. As certified
instructors with the League of American
Bicyclists and avid cyclists themselves,
Tom Shelley, Steven Frieson and Peter
Boor know a thing or two about the joys
and challenges of cycling.
Bicyclists have the same rights and
responsibilities as motor vehicles and
motorcycle drivers, explains Mr. Shel-
ley. A lot of people dont know that, par-
ticularly children.
National Safety Council statistics show
that bicyclists between the ages of 5 to 14
have the highest accidental death rate
among bicyclists.
According to the city website, most bi-
cycle accidents in the Claremont occur
between 7 and 8 a.m. or 2 and 3 p.m., a
time when many children are traveling to
and from schools. Parents are strongly
encouraged to talk with their children
about bicycle safety. Attending a free
class taught by certified instructors is a
great place to start.
Sycamore student Ben Taylor attended
the June 19 Traffic Skills 101 class with
his father, Chuck, and followed that up
with a Saturday ride with one of the in-
structors, who provided him with some
real-life experience on the road.
Im really interested in riding my bike
to school next year and I learned a lot
from the safety class, the 10-year-old
said. We rode from the Hughes Center
to Thompson Creek Trail and I learned
how to cross the street and avoid hazards
like a rock in front of you by twisting
your front wheel to avoid it. It was a nice
way to learn.
Protecting yourself
In 2013, there were 15 bicycle-related
collisions in Claremont. Earlier this
month, a Fontana cyclist riding on Mt.
Baldy Road was killed after a vehicle
struck him. Riding with the flow of traf-
fic, controlling your lane, being aware of
your surroundings and wearing a helmet,
regardless of age, are just a few of the ba-
sics people need to know to safely ride.
We believe most accidents are avoid-
able if you use basic skills, explains Mr.
Shelley. On a narrow rural road, bicy-
clists have to take control of the lane. Its
hard enough dodging rocks, but being on
the shoulder is dangerous. When youre
in the middle of a lane, you force the cars
to slow down and pass you when its
safe.
Councilman Sam Pedroza, an experi-
enced cyclist, knows all too well how a
pleasant ride can turn into a horrific crash
in the blink of an eye. Mr. Pedroza was
seriously injured in August 2011 when he
took his road bike to the gym and ended
up in a collision with a vehicle.
It was a new bike and it was like
going from driving a semi-truck to a Fer-
rari, explains Mr. Pedroza. I was right
around the corner from my house and
going fast. There was a truck parked up
ahead; I looked over my shoulder to get
over and smashed into the back of the
truck on Arrow Highway.
B
efore winding down for
a summer recess in Au-
gust, the Claremont
City Council revisited two
matters recently brought before
the council. The citys tree pol-
icy and funding for Commu-
nity Based Organizations came
before the council once again
Tuesday night.
Trees policies have new outcome
The recent draft of revised policies
and guidelines that govern the care and
maintenance of Claremonts urban for-
est raised some questions for council
members, particularly their concerns
over the use of Tree Growth Regulator
(TGR). Frequent complaints by Clare-
mont property owners regarding seed-
pods littering the right-of-way in front
of their homes prompted city staff to
propose a program that would treat city
trees with TGR.
The draft policy included an optional
program where interested homeown-
ersat their own expensecould part-
ner with the city to have the trees on
their property treated with the chemi-
cal, which has proven to reduce fruit
and seedpod production by 20 to 80
percent.
City council held a special workshop
on June 2 and requested the removal of
this program from the draft policy, cit-
ing concerns with chemical usage. As a
result, city staff removed the language
outlining this program from the draft
policy manual.
The changes, along with others re-
quested by council members, will be
brought before the city again in the fall.
Also on June 2, the council allocated
funds to the Inland Urban Forest Group
(IUFG) to expand the
Designated Street Tree
List and conduct an in-
dividual assessment of city trees that
show signs of stress or decline.
IUFG conducted a Windshield Sur-
vey on June 10 and found that overall;
Claremonts leafscape is generally in
good health, although drought and dis-
ease is taking its toll on many trees
throughout the city. Nearly all the citys
liquidambars and many of the elms on
Indian Hill are exhibiting symptoms of
leaf scorch, a disease carried by a
sharpshooter insect for which there is
no cure. The citys London planetrees
also appear to be in declining health,
possibly as a result of a mild winter,
which has limited their dormancy time.
In addition, IUFG observed that five
percent of the citys tree population ap-
peared to be demonstrating mild to se-
vere drought stress.
Five percent doesnt sound like a
lot, explained Tree Action Committee
(TAC) member Mark von Wodtke.
But when you break it down, thats
1,200 trees that are in real trouble.
IUFG cited lack of water as the main
issue with many of Claremont trees, in-
cluding the eucalyptus trees along
Foothill Boulevard and many of the
magnolias along Mountain Avenue.
Unfortunately, a lack of water is an
issue that has no easy fix, but many
TAC members and residents believe the
addition of a water truck may provide
some immediate relief to the trees.
I like the idea of a water truck, but I
know its not in the citys budget, said
Councilman Sam Pedroza. Its defi-
nitely worth exploring private funding
options.
Longtime Claremont resident Ray
Fowler followed up that idea with the
suggestion of a water truck displaying
advertisements for those who con-
tributed donations. Councilman Corey
Calaycay explained its not really a
water tank truck per se, but a trailer
where a water tank can be placed on
top and then towed by a pick-up truck.
Ive spoken with Mr. von Wodtke,
and the trailer and the tank costs around
$4,000, Mr. Calaycay said. Ive got a
pick-up that Im happy to offer up and
drive around with someone to get the
job done.
City grant program funding
On May 13, the community and
human services commission presented
its proposed 2014-15 Community
Based Organization (CBO) Grant Pro-
gram to the city council.
Twenty percent of the CBO budget
was to be designated to new and
emerging programs. However, the
council found there to be some in-
equities in how the money was distrib-
uted and sent the recommendation back
to commission for further review.
At Tuesdays council meeting, the
newly proposed 2014-15 CBO Grant
Program budget including $86,650 for
General Services and $60,000 for
Homeless Services was well received.
The requested 20 percent allocations to
new and emerging programs in both
General Services and Homeless Serv-
ices programs was reflected in the revi-
sion. The remaining balance of funding
in each category would be designated
for continuing programs in both service
departments.
Because the majority of the 28 CBO
applicants are currently planning their
budgets for the next fiscal year, the ap-
plicants need to know what their fund-
ing allocations will be to properly
prepare for the year ahead. With this
deadline in mind, the council approved
the city staffs recommendation to
award funding, based on the commis-
sions revised average funding recom-
mendations determined on June 4.
Claremont Homeless Advocacy Pro-
gram (CHAP), whose previous alloca-
tion of $1,000 felt like a slap in the
face to one volunteer, has now been
raised to $6,500 and the Claremont
Museum of Art, which was originally
denied funding all together, will be get-
ting $1,550 from the CBO General
Services fund.
The next city council meeting is
scheduled for July 8.

Psychologist pleads no contest
to felony charges
A former child psychologist who prac-
ticed in Claremont was convicted of in-
appropriately touching two children
during therapy sessions, according to a
press release from the Los Angeles
County District Attorneys Office.
Thomas Gary Amberson, 58, of Up-
land pleaded no contest in Pomona court
on June 23 to two felony counts of lewd
acts upon a child. He was immediately
remanded into custody.
As the COURIER previously re-
ported, the investigation was initiated in
November 2012 by Claremont Police
Department after a 9-year-old boy al-
leged that Mr. Amberson committed
lewd acts upon his person during a coun-
seling session. A similar investigation
was conducted in 2008, after a 13-year-
old boy made similar allegations. The
case was not filed by the District Attor-
neys Office at the time due to insuffi-
cient evidence but was included in the
current criminal filing.
Mr. Amberson is expected to be sen-
tenced July 16 and faces eight years in
state prison, according to the district at-
torneys office. He will also have to reg-
ister as a sex offender for life.
Wednesday, June 18
A Pomona bicyclist made an unsafe
lane change and ended up in the hospital
after colliding with a vehicle. Around 10
a.m., the 27-year-old male was traveling
eastbound on Arrow Highway when a car
struck him near St. Bonaventure, ejecting
the rider from his bike, according to Lieu-
tenant Mike Ciszek. The cyclist suffered
cuts to his left knee and ankle and was
transported to Pomona Valley Hospital
following complaints of hip pain.

Scammers continue to target Clare-
mont residents. This time, they claimed
to be with the IRS. A resident received
several calls on her cell phone around
11:30 a.m. from a man claiming she was
delinquent on her taxes. The caller re-
quested payment in the form of two
Green Dot credit cards. The woman
complied, paying $1,089 to the imper-
sonator. Green Dot credit cards are a pre-
paid cash card often used by people to
pay bills online if they dont have a reg-
ular bank account or other credit cards,
like Visa or MasterCard.
After receiving the initial $1,089, the
scammers called the Claremont resident
again and demanded another $3,000. At
this point, the victim notified police. Po-
lice remind residents that if a caller
seems suspicious, hang up and call the
agency directly. Dont use the phone
number the caller provided but write it
down so you can call the police to report
the incident.
Friday, June 20
A 17-year-old driver caused some se-
rious damage to a Claremont city street
around noon when he lost control of his
vehicle. The Claremont youth was al-
legedly trying to avoid a rock in the road
on Arrow Highway near Geneva Av-
enue, when he collided with a fire hy-
drant and knocked down a light pole.
Despite the seriousness of the accident,
the young man was unharmed.

An electricians work truck looked ap-
pealing to a thief who just couldnt help
himself to the workers tools. The white
Ford truck was parked in the victims
driveway on the 200 block of Piedmont
Avenue when an unknown suspect un-
locked the chests on the back of the truck
and made off with $3,250 in tools.
Saturday, June 21
The party ended early for a 17-year-
old Ontario boy after providing false
identification to police who had re-
sponded to a noise complaint. Around
12:30 a.m., officers observed around 50
minors, many of whom appeared to be
in possession of or consuming alcohol,
in the backyard and in the home located
on the 400 block of Bonaventure Av-
enue. Police located the homeowner,
who appeared to be unaware of the party
going on. Police arrested and issued a ci-
tation to the underage party-goer and
then transported him home to his mother.
Sunday, June 22
While a Good Samaritan would return
a wallet found on a store counter, it
prompted one Claremont resident to
commit petty theft. The victim was grab-
bing a coffee at Starbucks located inside
Vons on the 500 block of Base Line
Road when she realized her wallet was
missing. Police used in-store electronic
means to identify 45-year-old Muna Bas-
Baas as the thief. Officers issued a search
warrant on her residence and recovered
the stolen property. Ms. BasBaas was ar-
rested and released on $20,000 bail.

The councilman suffered two cracked vertebrae in
his neck, a fractured nose and deep lacerations to his
face. Although his injuries were serious, it could have
been much worse. I was close to being paralyzed and
the helmet on my head saved my life, Mr. Pedroza said,
emphasizing to the attendees, Always wear your hel-
met!
As a result of his accident, Mr. Pedroza used some
left-over campaign money and started Sams Lids, a pro-
gram offering free helmets for cyclists in need. Team-
ing up with Coates Cyclery in Pomona and the Rotary
Club of Claremont, Sams Lids has given away around
50 free helmets to date. If youre in need of a helmet or
would like to donate to this cause, please contact Tom
Shelley at (909) 496-8431.
Operating a bicycle requires the same skills as driving
a motor vehicle. Riders are expected to obey all traffic
signals and signs, never pass on the right of another ve-
hicle and never needlessly block a traffic lane.
More often than not, motorists are going to avoid
you, Mr. Frieson told the class. Be assertive of your
position in the road and youre going to be okay.
Claremonters are fortunate to have many bike lanes
throughout the city although there are still many non-
shareable and narrow lanes. If a bicycle lane is not avail-
able, cyclists should stay at least five feet from parked
cars and ride in the far right lane.
Protecting your bike
The increasing popularity of bicycling as a sport and
as a means of transportation has made bicycles an easy
target for thieves. Last year, 118 bikes were reported
stolen in Claremont and nowhere are bicycle thefts more
prevalent than around college campuses. Registering
your bicycle on a national bike database and purchasing
a strong lock are just two things you can do to protect
yourself from becoming a victim of bike theft.
Many bicycles are easily stolen because the owner
just plain failed to lock it up. Your first line of defense
against theft is storing your bicycle in a secure location
with a good lock.
Bike owners need a quality lock, not just a cable
lock, advises Claremont Police Lieutenant Mike
Ciszek. Cable locks can be easily compromised. The
best choice is a strong, reliable U-lock.
Jax Bicycle Center in the Village offers a wide range
of U-locks starting at $45, but recommends the Kryp-
tonite KryptoLock with the additional 4-inch cable that
secures the bikes wheels to the frame.
Riders need to protect their wheels, too, Jax em-
ployee Sean Ranallo explained. Youd be surprised
how many people come in here with a $200 bike and
are shocked when it costs $100 to replace a stolen wheel.
If its a front wheel youll need a new wheel with an
inner tube, a new tire and a new rim strip. If its a rear
wheel, youll also have the gears to replace. If you lock
your wheels with your bike frame, thieves are going to
have a harder time stealing them.
The National Bike Registry (NBR) recommends
combining a cable and a solid steel U-lock, or even two
U-locks, when securing a bicycle. Always lock the bike
in a visible, well-lighted area to a fixed, immovable ob-
ject like a bike rack. If you have a multi-speed bike, leav-
ing it in the highest gear will make it much harder for a
thief to shift quickly and get away. The more time and
trouble it takes a thief to get to your bike, the less likely
that it will be stolen.
Since 1984, the National Bike Registry has been
working with law enforcement to return stolen bikes to
their owners. A bicycle registered with a national data-
base can be identified by police and returned to the
owner instead of being sold at an auction. For $10 for 10
years, you will be provided with a Certificate of Regis-
tration and a tamper-resistant NBR label to identify your
bike should it ever be stolen and recovered. A family
registration fee of $25 is also an option and will cover up
to five bicycles at a single address for 10 years.
You can register at www.nationalbikeregistry.com.
Future bicycle safety classes will be held at the
Hughes Center on the third Thursday of the month in
July and August. The classes are free and will be open
to kids from fourth grade and up to adults.
Be sure to check the COURIER calendar for future
dates and times.

BICYCLE SAFETY/continued from previous page
C
laremont Affordable Water Advo-
cates (CAWA) made a splash ear-
lier this month when the unknown
citizens group entered into a Memorandum
of Understanding with Golden State Water
Company, putting them smack dab in the
middle of a water fight thats consumed
Claremont for years.
Many residents and city officials speculated the group
didnt really exist, a few even suggesting that perhaps
CAWA was concocted by Golden State Water in an
eleventh-hour bid to prevent a proposed water revenue
bond measure by city council from going to a vote. But
CAWA does exist and they want to be taken seriously.
Spearheaded by Claremont resident Donna Lowe, a
businesswoman who ran for State Assembly in the 41st
district in 2012 and founded the Claremont Conserva-
tives Tea Party, CAWA members are an eclectic mix of
lawyers, sales people, business owners, consultants and
retired folks who, according to Ms. Lowe, dont have a
degree in city politics.
What they do have in common is a genuine belief that
cooperating and collaborating with Golden State Water
Company is far better for residents than an eminent do-
main fight over Claremonts water system.
We want everyone to realize there are alternatives,
CAWA member Bruce Cathcart explained. The rates
can be controlled and we dont have to have the city do
itthey dont know how to do it.
The grassroots effort began many months ago when
Ms. Lowe, a Claremont resident since 2000, was in
northern California for business and met with Golden
State Water (GSW) representatives to discuss the water
system acquisition.
I was in Sacramento and I met with Mitch Zak and
Julie Hooper, explains Ms. Lowe of her talk with the
two representatives of Randle Communications, a pub-
lic relations firm that represents GSW. I said to them, I
really want to learn more. I wanted to know what was
going on before the city moved forward with an eminent
domain seizure. They explained to me their position and
the efforts they put forth with the city. It just made sense.
Following that meeting, Ms. Lowe began assembling
CAWA members, people shed worked with previously
in other organizations and efforts, who
began gathering information about what
had transpired between the city and GSW. According to
Mr. Cathcart, the group wanted to hear more from the
water company and its plans for Claremonts water sys-
tem from someone other than the city.
Golden State introduced us to the vice president, they
brought out their PR guys who talked with us and they
showed us documents from CPUC meetings, Mr. Cath-
cart said. They (GSW) seemed credible and had wanted
to work with a citizens group but werent getting any co-
operation.
In March, CAWA began holding meetings with about
a dozen people in attendance and the citizens group
agreed to partner with GSW to allow residents to under-
stand that there is another option.
Denise Kruger came to my house on several occa-
sions to talk about some of the issues and concerns sur-
rounding the water system, Ms. Lowe said. We came
up with a first draft and, two months later, is the MOU
you have that was presented to the city council.
CAWAs decision to get involved with the water issue
and work alongside Golden State to try to solve issues
regarding water supply and costs wasnt a hard one to
make for the group members.
Several of us go to city council meetings on a regu-
lar basis and we started following the citys desire to take
control of the water system, Mr. Cathcart said. We
looked into the situation and we didnt think the city was
actually doing anything. They werent negotiating in
good faith or participating in public CPUC (California
Public Utility Commission) hearings. And then the city
started complaining that GSW wasnt cooperating and
we didnt see that.
The citys purported lack of participation in the 2013-
2015 rate-making process appears to be the catalyst to
the group questioning the citys plan for seizure of the
water system.
I was shocked to learn that the city didnt participate
in the CPUC hearings. They showed up to the first one,
but never showed up again, Ms. Lowe says. I was
happy they brought the water price issues to light but dis-
appointed they didnt show up. Thats when the first red
flag went up for me.
The city of Claremont refutes this claim, stating that
staff began protesting proposed rate increases in July of
2011 when it retained legal counsel to represent Clare-
mont in the General Rate Case.
The interests of the ratepayers were represented in the
General Rate Case proceedings by the Division of
Ratepayers Advocates, the advocacy arm of the CPUC,
the city said. The cities of Claremont, Placentia, Cy-
press, Stanton, Apple Valley and Barstow intervened in
the proceedings.
Further, Claremont staff organized a public hearing
with the administrative law judge at Taylor Hall in Clare-
mont in December of 2011. More than 400 residents at-
tended and presented comments to the judge. During the
rate case proceedings, the city states it submitted testi-
mony and rebuttal evidence and, with assistance from the
local group Claremonters Against Outrageous Water
Rates, collected residents protest letters, which were sent
to the CPUC commissioners.
As a public agency, the CPUC claims that it depends
on public input to make informed decisions that consider
the impact of utility costs and services. Next month,
CAWA plans to participate in the CPUC public hearings
as an intervenor, a position supported by Golden State.
Were going to be a third party, witnessing and par-
ticipating in the hearings. We will know first-hand if the
city is participating in these things or not, explains Mr.
Cathcart.
Ms. Lowe believes residents need to get wise to the
citys changing water needs and evolve.
What we need to understand, first and foremost, is
that we live in a desert. We act as though we do not, Ms.
Lowe said. Do I love the trees? Absolutely. But times
are changing. Were in a drought. Landscaping, planting
trees that are not indigenous, that comes with a cost and
we need to get wise to it. It just boggles my mind.
New housing developments are another concern of the
group.
Now weve got all these high-density, affordable
housing projects, which will require even more water
with no apparent regard to water consequences. Its a vi-
cious cycle and turning over the water company to Clare-
mont isnt going to fix it, she added.
Mr. Cathcart doesnt feel the city is truly receptive to
working with an outside group to find a resolution.
Our relationship with the city is more adversarial than
collegial, and we dont feel it should be like that, he says.
They should have an open mind. If we can get a better
deal, they shouldnt be in opposition to it just because it
wasnt their idea.
The city maintains that it is open to discussion with
Golden State on the 20-point Memorandum of Under-
standing. As Mayor Lyons previously stated, If Golden
State Water is serious about working with the city on real
solutions, our door is open.

Report card error causes confusion for
El Roble Intermediate School families
A
number of El Roble families got a
surprise last week when they
opened their kids report card and
found another students marks printed on
the opposite side of the grade sheet.
The occurrence was inadvertent and due to a clerical
error, according to Claremont Unified School District
Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services Bonnie
Bell. The double-sided report card was sent to about half
of the students at the local intermediate school. The other
half of El Roble students did not receive a report card at
the scheduled time.
As is the case in so many office snafus, it started with
some tricky technology. The printer usually used to cre-
ate report cards was acting up, so the person tasked with
printing the grade sheets sent the documents to a remote
printer, according to Ms. Bell. Unbeknownst to the
staffer, the remote printer was set to double-sided mode.
Perhaps the oversight would have been caught if re-
port cards were stuffed into envelopes by hand. The
process, however, is automatic. When a notification is
sent to students homes, district personnel take the
batches as they come off the printer and place them di-
rectly into a folding and stuffing machine.
Inadvertent or not, the resulting disclosure is in viola-
tion of the federal Family Educational Rights and Pri-
vacy Act (FERPA). The law requires that schools ask for
written consent before disclosing a students personal in-
formation to individuals other than a parent or guardian.
Protected records include report cards and their accom-
panying teacher comments, transcripts, class schedules,
disciplinary records and contact and family information.
The district became aware of the error on June 19, the
day the report cards were received or, in the case of half
of El Robles students, the day they did not arrive.
The COURIER became aware of the situation because
a staff member has two boys at El Roble. One of the boys
received a double-sided report card and the other did not
get his grades at all. Luckily, since they share the same
last name, the double-sided report card contained the two
brothers grades. No harm, no foul for this family. How-
ever, the local newspaper received several phone calls
about the situation from El Roble parents and also fol-
lowed a vigorous Facebook thread about the mix-up.
The district acted quickly after learning of the error.
El Roble families were contacted by telephone and
email and apprised of the situation. Those who received
report cards were asked to destroy them and were no-
tified that a corrected copy of their childs report card
would be forthcoming shortly. New report cards were
printed and mailed out at what Ms. Bell said was little
expense, given that the district benefits from bulk mail
rates.
In some cases where FERPA has been violated, high
schools and colleges have opted to notify the Depart-
ment of Education of the oversight. CUSD contacted
their attorneys, asking what they should do, and were
told it was not necessary to bring the situation to the
DOEs attention.
The problem has been remedied to the best of the dis-
tricts ability, they said. Some struggling students, how-
ever, may be nervous about who, besides their parents,
has been privy to their low marks.
It is the first time that the district has violated student
privacy laws in this way since she came to the district
four years ago, Ms. Bell said.

EDUCATION

A
few years ago, I took a simple,
small ferry trip along the backwa-
ters of Kerala in Southern India to
an ashram, where I spent the night and
continued on another ferry further south.
Along the way, we passed beautifully thatch-covered
boats with people lounging in what seemed like luxury
to me. I longed to do just thatlounge on a covered
boat cruising along the canals and watching the life on
the shores as we passed by. And so this past January
my desires were made real as my friend Barbara and I
booked an overnight trip on one of these covered rice
boats. The boat came with a driver, a cook, a bedroom
and bathroom and a covered front deck to lounge on,
eat on and generally just watch the world on the Ker-
alan backwaters pass by us as we floated on the water-
ways.
We arrived in Fort Cochin in Kerala, a lovely small
town filled with everything a tourist could want; inex-
pensive guest houses, good food, the old Chinese fish-
ing nets on the shore, which create lovely large
triangular shapes even though they are hardly used for
fishing anymore. There are lovely parks where young-
sters play sports after school, great shopping, and auto
rickshaws to take you anywhere. After a few enjoyable
days, we drove down to the town of Alleppy to stay in
a small guest house for a night and through the owner
we hired a rice boat for a 24-hour trip of sailing on the
backwaters. We had just settled down in our room
when we heard some music and a lot of drumming that
continued to get louder and louder. Being curious, we
ventured outside and saw that a crowd of people had
gathered next door to our guest house, which we then
realized was a small Hindu temple.
Joining the crowd, we pushed up to the surrounding
wall and watched as a large group of young men were
helping each other put on orange lungis (similar to a
sarong) and then, in smaller groups, they poured buck-
ets of water over their heads, all this to the pounding of
drums. We saw one young man taking a very long
metal spike and sticking it through the tongue of the
now wet lungi wearer then securing a lemon on each
side of the tongue. The young man began to prance and
dance about and soon was joined by many others, each
proudly holding the ends of their metal spikes and
dancing faster and faster as the drumming grew louder
and louder.
Our landlord said that he was a Christian and did not
know what was happening or why. No one else around
seemed to speak English, so we never did learn what it
was about. But as quickly as it began, it ended as the
entire group danced and drummed out of the temple
grounds and down the street to the next temple. It was
quite an amazing experience to have witnessed.
For dinner, we were directed to a restaurant on the
beach and we arrived over bumpy roads in a rickshaw.
We climbed up rickety stairs and sat at a table over-
looking the beach bathed in the setting sun while peo-
ple strolled up and down by the sand. It was what I ate
that was so memorable. I ordered Singapore chili crab.
A beautiful sweetly spicy red crab dish arrived, which I
had to eat with my hands as it was the only way I could
get to the crab meat out. So I slurped and chewed and
crushed shells with my sharp teeth, enjoying every mo-
ment. The next day, I noticed that my fingers were red
and they stayed red for many days. I wondered what I
had eaten in that crab dish that dyed my hands so well.
Early the next morning, a driver came and took us to
our boat. There are many types of boats to choose
from, each a different size and style ranging from
rather simple to totally luxurious. Our boat was simpler
but was very comfortable. We were welcomed on the
boat with a fruit drink and soon took off down one of
the waterways.
Our driver sat on a chair in the front and we just sat
quietly watching life sail by us. Houses of all colors
and shapes and sizes line the sides of the water. There
are also small shops and a few snack bars as well as
temples and churches every so often. Behind the
houses we could often see rice fields. Trees lined the
paths where children walked to and from school with
school bags on their backs. Goats and chickens
lounged and roamed about, and men and women
walked mostly barefoot carrying huge loads on their
heads. In front of the houses, men and women washed
themselves discreetly or scrubbed pots and pans after a
meal. Every so often, one could hear the loud slap,
slap of clothes being pounded on the rocks that lined
the water as the laundry was being done.
Small boats criss-crossed the water from side-to-side
selling and delivering goods and ferrying people from
one side to the other, as well as fishing. We watched
quietly and then our lunch was served at the table on
the porch. It was a huge spread, far more than we could
ever eat just the two of us. The food was beautifully
prepared. We had fresh fried river fish, rice, dhal
(lentils), and a great selection of various vegetable
dishes. With all that food, we were lucky we didnt
have anywhere to go. And then, just a short time later,
it was tea time, where tea and banana-stuffed pancakes
were served. Before that could be totally digested, it
was dinner time and another fish and vegetable spread
was put before us. We did our best to try everything
and enjoyed it all. The boat stopped for the night by the
side of the water and another few boats tied up next to
us.
The bedroom was comfortable and we slept well. In
the morning, we were served a full breakfast. The best
part was the fruit plate of pineapple slices in a heart
shape and decorated with tangerine slices. At one point
while sailing, we ventured away from the inhabited
river area and sailed around a vast lake for a few hours.
We passed other boats, some small and many quite
large filled with happy people and often with music.
We all photographed each other and danced as we
passed, waving and feeling happy and in a holiday
mood. After breakfast, our boat began the return trip
and we were back and tied up by 9 a.m. We were soon
picked up by our driver and taken back to the guest
house and ultimately back to Fort Cochin for the night.
For quite some time, it had been a dream of mine to
just be on a rice boat and sail the backwaters for a bit of
relaxing luxury with nothing to do but observe and
enjoy. It is so satisfying when one can fulfill a dream
and be happy with the outcome. It turned out to be eas-
ily arranged and with one call we had a guest house
stay, a driver and car and a boat for a very reasonable
price. I was one satisfied customer.

Future generations will look back at the time we

G
lobal warming: what an oppres-
sive topic this has been to me. Im
not one to hide from the newsI
read, I see, I worry.
Every day, in the United States, 80 million tons of
CO2 get pumped into the atmosphere, driving planet
temperatures higher and creating ever-increasing bad
news about rising oceans, extreme weather, loss of
speciesall of which, if left unchecked, will bring a
great deal of suffering. I recently saw the movie
Chasing Ice, which shows glaciers melting at an
ever-increasing pace, sliding into the sea. And I know
that 97 percent of all scientists agree that global
warming is the result of human activity.
My grandchildren look at the grownups around
them with such trust! They cant know that the quality
of their future lives depends on their grownups acting
nowthat in a few years it will be too late to make
much difference.
But reading as I do has not just acquainted me with
the bad news. I have also learned about many of the
creative and courageous organizations that have
sprung up around the globe to take on one or another
of the challenges brought on by climate change. For
the past year I have been a part of one of these: a fast-
growing national movement that is promoting a plan
that they believe will make a significant cut in green-
house gases.
Citizens Climate Lobby (CCL) is working on a
single project, based on ideas of economists and cli-
mate scientists: to get a fee placed on carbon-based
fuelscoal, gas and oilall major sources of the
problem. A fee on carbon, rising slowly over a num-
ber of years, say economists and CCL members, will
give businesses as well as individuals motivation to
spend money differentlyspend less on products
and fuels that contain carbon, more on products and
fuels that dont. They also point out that a rising fee
on carbon would provide renewable fuels with a
level playing field, and would stimulate innovation
in a variety of related fields. For information, visit
citizensclimatelobby.org.
The added costs consumers would pay, with a car-
bon fee in place, would not be great (especially if
compared to the high costs everyone will face if no
corrective action is taken). Nonetheless, CCLs plan
would return all the money raised by the fee to Amer-
ican households, thereby offsetting any higher con-
sumer costs.
British Columbia initiated a carbon fee plan in
2008. Since then the province has experienced a 15.1
percent drop in fuel consumption and a 9.9 percent
decline in greenhouse gas emissions. The fee has re-
mained revenue-neutral (has actually resulted in a net
benefit for taxpayers) and the GDP has been unaf-
fected. Finland, Sweden, Great Britain, New Zealand,
Quebec, Australia and Ireland have initiated carbon
fees or variations on the plan.
There are hundreds of Citizens Climate Lobby
chapters now across the United States, as well as in
Canada and a few other countries. Now there is one
more CCL chapter: our own Inland Valley Citizens
Climate Lobby branch had its start-up gathering May
31. Inland Valley CCL will meet the first Saturday of
every month at the Monte Vista Unitarian Universal-
ist Congregation, 9185 Monte Vista Ave. in Mont-
clair. All are welcome. For information, contact Ann
Schranz, group convener, at (909) 946-4939.

New group takes on global warming gases

SUSTAINABILITY
T
he Kiwanis Club of
Claremont recently hit a
major milestone. The
club celebrated its 90th year of
undertaking projects that en-
hance the lives of local chil-
dren and families.
The activities of the service club,
which aims to change the world one
community and one child at a time,
will be particularly visible in the com-
ing weeks as Claremont prepares for its
Fourth of July Celebration and its an-
nual Monday Night Concerts in the
Park series.
On Friday, July 4, a slew of Kiwani-
ans will gather at Memorial Park from
7 to 10 a.m. to serve up their perenni-
ally popular pancake breakfast.
Longtime Kiwanian Paul Wheeler is
continuing a family legacy with his
membership. His great-grandfather was
a member of Claremonts Kiwanis
Club. His grandfather was president of
the group at one time and so was his fa-
ther. Mr. Wheeler also served as presi-
dent in the 1980s.
When youve been in an association
long enough, you learn some of its se-
crets. The trick to the light fluffy pan-
cakes the club turns out by the hundreds
on July 4 is adding half-beer and half-
water to the mix, Mr. Wheeler shared.
If he wasnt supposed to expose that
recipe, he will be duly punished at the
next Kiwanis meeting. At the clubs
gatherings, held at noon on Thursdays
at St. Ambrose Church, members are
gently ribbed and fined for any number
of infractions, ranging from buying a
new car to appearing in the newspaper.
The lighthearted nature of the fines,
the payment of which goes straight to-
wards the Kiwanis Clubs philanthropic
programs, is evident in an account of a
recent meeting written up in the Clare-
mont Kiwanis bulletin: Jim Covey
fined Carl Gaiser because he stood by
the front door and met everybody with,
Hi, Im the Secret GreeterAndre
Ellis was fined for wearing a spiffy hat,
having no name badge, and for being
late. His defenseThe train stopped
me!was met with, Tell it to the
jury.
After the last drop of syrup from the
Independence Day pancake breakfast
has been mopped up, Kiwanis Club
members will reconvene at Pomona
College and set up a snack bar so
guests can enjoy some grub during the
evening fireworks show. If you think
volunteers find it painful to work on a
holiday, think again.
Its very festive and everyone is just
in such a good mood. Its fun, Kiwan-
ian Penny Myrdal said.
Three days later, the Kiwanis Club
will be back in full force, setting up a
snack bar at the inaugural Monday
Night Concert in the Park. While the
classic rock group The Ravelers make
the Memorial Park bandshell reverber-
ate, some 20 volunteers will sell burg-
ers, hot dogs, nachos, popcorn, drinks
and frozen yogurt donated by 21
Choices.
Its a lot of work but its very re-
warding, Kiwanis President Ed
Leavell said.
The local Kiwanians fund the concert
series, which has been known to draw
as many as 5,000 people. The club also
paid for the construction of the band-
shell, which was built with the help of
local high school students.
The performances, where youre sure
to spot someone you know, are a win-
win, according to Mr. Wheeler.
The bands love it because there are
3,000 or 4,000 screaming people, and it
bolsters the fabric of the community,
he said. Its what makes Claremont
Claremont.
After the concerts conclude with the
classic rock group The Answer on Sep-
tember 1, it will be time for another sig-
nature fundraiser. Tickets are already on
sale through brownpapertickets.com for
the annual Kiwanis Club of Claremont
Route 66 Party.
The event, which costs $40 in ad-
vance and $45 at the door, is set for
September 19 at the DoubleTree by
Hilton in Claremont. Beginning at 6
p.m., there will be dinner, dancing, live
music by the Ravelers, casino games, a
silent auction and an opportunity draw-
ing. For more information, visit
www.claremontkiwanis.org.
Claremont Kiwanians know something about community service

Kathy Hatcher prepares nachos at the Kiwanis Club food booth during a Monday night concert in the park last summer. The
club recently celebrated its 90th year of service to Claremont.
A few months later, between Thanks-
giving and Christmas, the Kiwanians
will set up a store along the Foothill
corridor, somewhere between Towne
Avenue and Indian Hill, where they sell
Sees candies.
Proceeds from the fundraisers will
fund next years concerts and an array
of programs intended to give a boost to
local kids.
This year, the Kiwanis club pre-
sented graduates from Claremont and
San Antonio high schools with the Stan
Larson Scholarship. This years CHS
recipients included Karen Chen, who is
heading for Tulane University, Sarah
Jonny, who has been accepted at UC
Riverside and Jynelle Harrison Kelly,
who will attend Citrus College. San
Antonio High School had two scholar-
ship recipients: Nautika Clemons, who
plans to attend the Borough of Manhat-
tan Community College, and Isabella
Reyes, who is going to Citrus.
It is the gift that keeps on giving.
Each recipient will get a $750 check for
each of the next four years.
Members of the Kiwanis Club of
Claremont also participate in the Read
Me program. Not only do they read a
book aloud to preschoolers at local ele-
mentary schools. They bring enough
copies so that each child can take the
book home. Kids in the CUSD come
from a wide array of socio-economic
backgrounds. For some young learners,
books they get through the Read Me
program constitute the bulk of their per-
sonal library.
Its a really nice program that we
do, Mr. Leavell said.
Jerry Feingold, who has been a
member of the Kiwanis Club of Clare-
mont for seven years, agreed.
Over the last nine years, we have
donated over 95,000 books to the read-
ing program, he said. We figure
weve read to more than 70,000 chil-
dren.
Kiwanians also help out with Habitat
for Humanity, fund the monthly senior
food bank at the Joslyn Senior Center
and buy backpacks to hold shoes, socks
and school supplies for Shoes That Fits
yearly back-to-school campaign. The
Kiwanis Club of Claremont also con-
tributes money to the citys Best Bet
program, which provides mini-grants to
CUSD teachers with ideas for innova-
tive school programs.
Any way you look at it, thats a
whole lot of good.
Kiwanis meetings, which typically
draw between 40 to 50 attendees, in-
clude lunch tastefully prepared by local
caterers Gayle Jensen and Kim Mc-
Curdy. At each gathering, someone
gives a 20-minute talk. At the last meet-
ing, Chris Varma, owner of Claremonts
Wild Birds Unlimited, expounded with
enthusiasm on The Top Ten Most Com-
mon Backyard Birds.
Some news is shared and dollars are
extracted from members who are
deemed in need of punishment, for in-
stance someone who went on vacation
and failed to bring back souvenirs for
the entire club. Ms. Myrdal has come to
love the camaraderie.
Its the friendliness of everyone,
she marveled. Ive never experienced
any tension. Everyone gets along.
For Mr. Wheeler, being a part of a
service group like Kiwanis is second
nature.
Claremonters have a high amount
of volunteerism, he said. Giving back
and helping out is what we do.

Leonard Simon
Art historian, actor, beloved husband
Leonard Simon of Claremont died
gently and painlessly in his own bed on
June 3, 2014. He was 77.
Mr. Simon was born in Norristown,
Pennsylvania in 1936 to Pattie and
William Walter Simon and was the
youngest of 14 brothers and sisters. He
graduated from Norristown High in
1954, and soon enrolled in the Army Air
Force Reserve for active duty. He
served three years in an army hospital
as an intern. Thereafter, he completed
training with the 4th guided missile bat-
talion of the US forces, that prepared
troops to deploy with the Nike Ajax
anti-aircraft system.
Mr. Simon was a fan and a jubilant
participant in many sports, including
basketball, football and track. With a
Palm Springs delegation, he went to
Amsterdam to compete in the 1998 Gay
Games.
He was also a versatile entertainer
he sang, danced and acted on the stage
and in film and television. He played
several instruments and sang with a
band. He was startlingly handsome, his
loved ones noted; he also had a great
speaking voice and an athletic body.
Add to this a charismatic personality,
which gave him a great stage presence.
He acted in theaters across the country
from New York to Palo Alto, San Jose
and San Francisco. His best roles were
as Prospero in The Tempest, Stanley
Kowalski in A Streetcar Named De-
sire and Randall in Slow Dance on a
Killing Ground. Multitudinous TV and
cinema credits are on his IMDB.com
page. Notable were two episodes of
Julia of 1973, and a role as an impor-
tant extra in the Charles Bronson film,
The Stone Killer.
As an art historian, Mr. Simon was
the registrar of the Leland Stanford Jun-
ior Museum from 1964 to 1970. In
1976, he served as author of the cata-
logue raisonn for the Los Angeles
County Museum of Art landmark trav-
eling exhibit Two Centuries of Black
American Art, writing the biographic
entries for each artist and the object de-
scriptions in the catalogue.
In her 2011 book, Exhibiting Black-
ness: African Americans and the
American Art Museum, Bridget R.
Cooks writes that the exhibits curator,
David C. Driskell, selected Mr. Simon
as his research assistant because of his
comprehensive grasp of art history.
In a 1986 Los Angeles Times article,
Palette of Passion from Black Artists,
Mr. Simon reflected on how, for black
artists, art was about more than self-ex-
pression.
During the 60s, black artists used
their creativity as a vehicle for social
change, he emphasized. Black artists,
previously able to show their work in
black museums and galleries only, let
the cultural Establishment know about
their art. They were saying, Our civil
rights allow us to be artists too. You
have to understand that even if our art is
different, even if were wearing Afros
and corn rows. He was an instructor in
the Ethnic Studies Department of UC
Riverside for nine years, teaching
classes like black art history. And from
1977 to 1980, he was a deputy director
of the California Fine Arts Council.
He was also active socially and politi-
cally. He was jailed at age 18 for
demonstrating during the 1955 bus boy-
cott of Martin Luther King Jr. in Mont-
gomery, Alabama. He was also involved
in the 1960 Woolworth lunch counter
sit-ins in Greensboro. While demon-
strating against the department stores
policy of racial segregation, he was spat
at and arrested. For over a year, he was
in a jail where he was badly beaten sev-
eral times. This sordid experience left a
deep mark on his soul.
From 1975 to 1976, he was the hous-
ing consultant of the Watts Community
Housing Corp., which erected a 40-unit
housing complex plus a recreation
building in Watts veritably on the ruins
of the 1965 riot. He was an officer of
Black And White Men Together and a
force in the Los Angeles Leader Confer-
ence, which organized citywide units
dispensing AIDS information, advice
and care long before the state of Califor-
nia acted to combat and ameliorate the
effects of the epidemic.
Leonard is survived by his spouse,
Gerald M. Ackerman, with whom he
shared 52 happy years of life, and by
four generations of adoring nieces and
nephews.
A celebration of Mr. Simons life will
take place on Sunday, July 27 at 5 p.m.
in Bridges Hall of Music on the campus
of Pomona College (150 E. Fourth St. in
Claremont). A reception will be held af-
terwards in Lebus Court, directly behind
Bridges Hall of Music.
In lieu of flowers, Mr. Simons family
asks that you consider a donation to one
of his favorite causes,Doctors Without
Borders.

I
f Maria Dancing Heart Hoaglund has
one message to offer, it is this: Death is
nothing to be afraid of. Its a conclu-
sion she has reached through personal ex-
perience, through years as a hospice worker
and through countless hours contemplating
a phenomenon that many people would
rather ignore.
Americans tend to treat dying as an unnatural occur-
rence as opposed to something we will all eventually
face, Ms. Hoaglund said. Often when someone is termi-
nally ill, their loved ones feel uncomfortable addressing
the elephant in the roomthat the person is on the brink
of death.
People tiptoe around it, she said. I would say some-
times the dying are dying to talk about death.
Ms. Hoaglund, who was set to speak on Thursday at
the Village Grille about Making Friends with the Last
Adventure of Life, has written a book intended to help
people who are dying and people who are poised to lose
someone they love deal with a transition that is as daunt-
ing as it is inevitable. Her book, The Last Adventure of
Life: Inspiring Approaches to Living and Dying, is
available for purchase at Buddhamouse Emporium, 134
Yale Ave. in Claremont.
Her book explains the concept of hospice, care during
the last weeks and months of a persons life that is aimed
at physical and emotional comfort rather than at treat-
ment of a condition that has progressed too far to heal.
The book gives advice on how to connect in a mean-
ingful way with a person who is dying and to help pro-
vide as much joy as possible during their waning days.
Small pleasures can really help lift someones spirits,
even when they are on their deathbed.
So often at the end of life, people arent eating. The
family wants to feed them, she said. You can feed their
senses with music, touch and scent. Many spiritual coun-
selors do nails for loved ones or rub their feet. Watch-
ing a comedy, telling a joke or even engaging in some
black humor about someones deteriorating condition
can also be in order.
Id say humor is very important, certainly for patients
and family. [Hospice] workers need comic relief too to
put everything in perspective, she said. People do take
the end of life pretty seriously.
When you are helping to care for someone who is
dying, its important to remember to care for yourself as
well, Ms. Hoaglund asserts.
You take on a lot of other emotions without even
thinking about it, she said.
Whatever your religion or spiritual orientation, prayer
as well as a conviction there is something after death
that we dont just stop cold when our heart ceases to
beatcan help take much of the terror out of death.
In The Last Adventure of Life, Ms. Hoaglund offers
inspiration and prayers from many sources. She also has
accounts from people she has worked with who have ex-
perienced insights, dreams and visions that have reas-
sured them that the person whose death they are grieving
is very much present and very much at peace.
If you are squeamish about death, it might help to look
to the traditions of other cultures. Rather than avoiding
the subject, it is traditional among some Native Ameri-
can tribes to dedicate the three days before and after
someones death as a time to visit, for some respectful
quiet and a period in which to honor the spirit.
The Mexican culture also does a good job of facing
death with, strange as it may sound, festivity. During the
annual Day of the Dead celebration, people build color-
ful altars honoring the deceased and in some cases pic-
nic right next to a loved ones grave. They tidy up the
burial site and give offerings of food, drink, flowers, can-
dles and items meant to please the spirits who are be-
lieved to make an el Dia de los Muertos visit.
Ms. Hoaglund, who lives in Sedona, is an attractive
woman, with long gray hair and a serene smile. She
wears long skirts and crystal jewelry, garb thatpardon
the stereotypedenotes a New Age approach to spiritu-
ality.
While metaphysics has become an increasing focus
for Ms. Hoaglund, it has been a long journey from her
straight-laced upbringing in the Lutheran Church to en-
tertaining metaphysical ideas such as discarnate souls,
energy healing and a recent boom in the birth of highly
gifted, highly sensitive Indigo Children.
Ms. Hoaglund had worked for 10 years as a parish
minister in the United Church of Christ. When the joy
went out of her work, she began questioning her path and
engaging in introspective activities such as meditation.
One day, a single word came to her: hospice. Whether it
was a subconscious message or a telegraph from the uni-
verse, she took the cue and became a hospice worker.
Her mothers death prepared her somewhat for the
sense of loss that accompanies death and for the physi-
cal aspects of the process. Her mother took great pleas-
ure in the quality time she spent with her daughter and the
rest of her family in those final days, making the expe-
rience rewarding as well as difficult.
Nothing was horrific, she said. It was very peace-
ful and gradual.
Even in the case of a sudden or ugly death, Ms.
Hoaglund says a persons final breath is as much a part
of life as their first. She firmly believes that there is an af-
terlife. And she is convinced that dying has its own sa-
credness.
At such a time, most people reflect on the true mean-
ing in life, which brings out their beauty and strength. It
is a time of deep connections.

Sanitation fee increase goes
into effect July 1
The city of Claremont will put into effect a 1 (one)
percent increase in santiation fees for Claremont resi-
dents on Tuesday, July 1.
According to the latest city managers report, based
on current 2014-15 budget projections for the Sanita-
tion Fund, an increase of 1 percent is necessary to
sustain operations of the citys sanitation system. This
increase is consistent with the March Consumer Price
Index increase for the Los Angeles area. The fee in-
crease amounts to approximately 20 to 45 cents per
month for a typical single-family customer.
In addition to the 1 percent increase, city council
directed staff to incorporate fee changes recom-
mended by the Sanitation Operations Ad Hoc Com-
mittee, including raising rates for elective services
such as off-street service, bin off-street service and
dumpster rentals. The city council approved the in-
crease on the fees at the May 13 council meeting fol-
lowing a public hearing.

Department at (909) 399-5433.

Vom Fass offers up grill tips
V
om Fass invites family
and friends to celebrate
summer with refreshing
drinks, salads and grilled sides.
Whether you are hosting a pic-
nic, a barbecue, an informal
gathering or a formal cocktail
party, Vom Fass is one place in
Claremont that has you covered.
Here are some helpful tips for
your Fourth of July festivities
and summer entertaining:
Red Wine Herb Garlic Steak Marinade
Ingredients:
4 oz. VOM FASS Spanish Red Wine
Vingre Viejo
4 oz. VOM FASS Herb Garlic Oil
1 shallot, minced
teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cracked black peppercorns
2 bay leaves, crushed
Preparation:
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl.
Add steaks.
Cover and let marinade in refrigera-
tor for 1 to 24 hours, depending on
preference and type of steak.
More tender cuts should marinade
for less time, while tougher cuts will
require more time.
Grilling Tips From Vom Fass
Here are a few helpful pointers for
grilling meats to perfection this summer.
Foods that cook quickly on the grill,
such as steaks or fish, only need a small
quantity of charcoal.
Don't light too much charcoal at once,
to ensure that it gets enough oxygen.
If your grill has ventilation holes, they
should be open for roughly 14-20 min-
utes, until a layer of gray ash has
formed on the hot coals.
Ensure that your barbecue meat is al-
ways kept at room temperature. Other-
wise, the outside will brown very quickly
while the inside may be still cold and raw.
Frozen or cured meat should not be
used for grilling.
It is important to keep an eye on the
coals and keep turning the food with
barbecue tongs so your delicious
morsels do not burn.
Don't prick the meat with a fork, as
the juices from the meat can then es-
cape from the pores and cause the
meat to dry out.

Hill Blvd., Claremont. Call (909) 399-

Students get hands-on

T
he Pacific Ocean visited
Project Think on
Wednesday. Manhattan
Beach Piers Roundhouse
Aquarium docents and
oceanographers presented a
thought-provoking lesson on
oceanic plants and animals, ulti-
mately explaining the humans
positive and negative influences
on this spacious biome.
The instructors acquainted the chil-
dren with a variety of sea animals, in-
cluding echinoderms, arthropods,
mollusks, fish, sharks and rays, and ma-
rine mammals. The children had the op-
portunity to hold a sea star and touch a
sea cucumber.
Some children in kindergarten
through second grade wore costumes of
a whale, shark, sea lion, smaller fish,
plankton and the sun to demonstrate all
of lifes dependence upon the sun for its
energy. They also demonstrated the food
chain. Instructors displayed bones, teeth,
cartilage, and baleen for the curious stu-
dents. Four separate assemblies were
held to accommodate the various age
levels.
Now in its 34th summer, Project
Think reaches out to students in grades
kindergarten through eighth grade. This
years theme is oceanography, the um-
brella under which the students increase
their knowledge and thinking skills. In
the mornings, students enjoy learning
through a hands-on approach, as they ro-
tate through classes of language arts,
computers, science, drama, art history
and Think Tank.
Many students stay for the afternoon
session and may choose drama, comput-
ers, swimming (lessons included) or
conversational Spanish. Each of the two
three-week programs is independent of
the other.
There is still room for enrollment in
second session July 7-July 25. Creators
of the program, Susan Warren and Kay
Conley, direct a large staff with a small
ratio of students to adults. The program
takes place in The Old Schoolhouse on
the corner of Foothill Boulevard and In-
dian Hill.

TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are
considering bidding on this property lien,
you should understand that there are risks
involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You
will be bidding on a lien, not on the prop-
erty itself. Placing the highest bid at a
trustee auction does not automatically enti-
tle you to free and clear ownership of the
property. You should also be aware that the
lien being auctioned off may be a junior
lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auc-
tion, you are or may be responsible for pay-
ing off all liens senior to the lien being
auctioned off, before you can receive clear
title to the property. You are encouraged to
investigate the existence, priority, and size
of outstanding liens that may exist on this
property by contacting the county
recorders office or a title insurance com-
pany, either of which may charge you a fee
for this information. If you consult either of
these resources, you should be aware that
the same lender may hold more than one
mortgage or deed of trust on the property.
NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The
sale date shown on this notice of sale may
be postponed one or more times by the
mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court,
pursuant to Section 2924g of the California
Civil Code. The law requires that informa-
tion about trustee sale postponements be
made available to you and to the public, as
a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If
you wish to learn whether your sale date
has been postponed, and, if applicable, the
rescheduled time and date for the sale of
this property, you may call 714-573-1965
for information regarding the trustees sale
or visit this Internet Web site
http://www.qualityloan.com , using the
file number assigned to this foreclosure by
the Trustee: CA-14-610023-CL . Informa-
tion 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 at-
tend the scheduled sale. The undersigned
Trustee disclaims any liability for any in-
correctness of the property address or other
common designation, if any, shown herein.
If no street address or other common desig-
nation is shown, directions to the location
of the property may be obtained by sending
a written request to the beneficiary within
10 days of the date of first publication of
this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable
to convey title for any reason, the suc-
cessful bidder's sole and exclusive rem-
edy shall be the return of monies paid to
the Trustee, and the successful bidder
shall have no further recourse. If the sale
is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser
at the sale shall be entitled only to a re-
turn of the deposit paid. The Purchaser
shall have no further recourse against the
Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mort-
gagees 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 in-
tended to exercise the note holders rights
against the real property only. As required
by law, you are hereby notified that a nega-
tive 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. QUALITY MAY BE

CASE NO. BP150730
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contin-
gent creditors, and persons who may other-
wise be interested in the will or estate, or
both, of DAVID NICHOLAS BRONDAR-
BIT AKA DAVID BRONDARBIT:
A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed
by JULIE HARRISON in the Superior Court
of California, County of Los Angeles.
THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests
that JULIE HARRISON be appointed as per-
sonal representative to administer the estate
of the decedent.
THE PETITION requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate.
The will and any codicils are available for ex-
amination in the file kept by the court.
The PETITION requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent Admin-
istration of Estates Act. (This authority will
allow the personal representative to take
many actions without obtaining court ap-
proval. Before taking certain very important
actions, however, the personal representative
will be required to give notice to interested
persons unless they have waived notice or
consented to the proposed action.) The inde-
pendent administration authority will be
granted unless an interested person files an
objection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the au-
thority.
A HEARING ON THE PETITION WILL BE
HELD IN THIS COURT AS FOLLOWS:
Date: July 22, 2014 Time: 8:30 A.M. in Dept.
29 located at:
Superior Court Of California,
County Of Los Angeles,
111 North Hill Street
Los Angeles, CA 90012
Stanley Mosk Courthouse
IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing and
state your objections or file written objections
with the court before the hearing. Your ap-
pearance may be in person or by your attor-
ney.
IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a CONTIN-
GENT CREDITOR OF THE DECEDENT,
you must file your claim with the court and
mail a copy to the personal representative ap-
pointed by the court within the later of either
(1) four months from the date of first is-
suance of letters to a general personal repre-
sentative, 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 Califor-
nia Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal au-
thority 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 Re-
quest for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the
filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate
assets or of any petition or account as pro-
vided in Probate Code section 1250. A Re-
quest for Special Notice form is available
from the court clerk.

on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the
highest bid at a trustee auction does not auto-
