The answer is simple
Dear Editor:
Jack Sultze asked a good question
about Old pipes, big problems in his
letter published August 15. Actually, the
answer is simple, and obvious to anyone
who purchased a home. Golden State
Water is required to submit a report on
the true condition of the water system
before the city of Claremont signs a pur-
chase agreement.
If GSW has been a good steward of
the water system, time should prove its
report on the water systems condition
was true. If not, GSW would be liable
for any problems that occur due to con-
ditions they failed to disclose.
David J. Lull

Do you feel lucky?
Dear Editor:
Lets imagine that Golden State Water
made the following offer to Claremont:
The city has to flip a coin three times. If
it comes up heads three times in a row,
we can buy the water system; if any one
of the flips comes up tails, we immedi-
ately lose $5 million and have to call it
quits. Should the city take that bet?
The odds of flipping three consecutive
heads are one in eight, so there is a 12.5
percent chance of winning the betand
an 87.5 percent chance of losing. Those
are long odds for any wager, but particu-
larly so when the stakes are a huge
chunk of the citys budget.
Perhaps you will be surprised to learn
that the city council has already agreed
to that bet. Of course, they havent liter-
ally bet on flipping coins. Rather, the bet
is that the city can overcome three major
obstacles that stand in the way of a water
system takeover.
Just like our metaphorical coin flips,
the outcomes of each of these challenges
are unpredictable, beyond our power to
control, independent of each other and
(at best) 50-50 propositions. Most impor-
tantly, if the city cannot get past every
single one of the obstacles, the takeover
attempt will fail.
First, in order to establish our legal
right to pursue an eminent domain
seizure, the city has to convince a judge
that the takeover of our water system is
necessary and in the public interest. It
does not appear that any city has suc-
cessfully done this beforeor even tried
toand it is not obvious how Claremont
can prove that it is necessary to force the
sale of a regulated utility that has compe-
tently served the community for almost
90 years.
Second, if the judge decides in Clare-
monts favor, the case will proceed to a
valuation trial in front of a jury. A valua-
tion up to $120 million could be fi-
nanced by $135 million of revenue
bonds, but the city would be forced to
abandon the project at a higher price.
It is impossible to know what a jury
will do, but an historical analysis of large
eminent domain verdicts by the Institute
for Legislative Practice shows that, on
average, juries split the difference be-
tween the two proposed valuations, and
add an extra 16 percent. As Claremonts
offer is $55 million, and Golden States
request will be higher than $200 million,
the verdict may easily be $140 million or
more.
Third, the city will have to sell rev-
enue bonds to finance the purchase, on
terms favorable enough to fit our cost
projections. That may prove difficult, as
investors typically insist that utilities
have experienced management and a
track record of approving rate hikes
neither of which will be present in our
case. Prospective bondholders will pre-
sumably demand higher interest rates to
compensate for the increased risk.
If Claremont does lose this bet
which is a very real possibilitywe will
have nothing to show for it except the
obligation to pay millions of dollars for
the citys own legal and consulting ex-
penses, and Golden States as well. It is
hard to see how this can be done without
blowing a big hole in the citys budget.
None of these obstacles was men-
tioned in the citys feasibility study and,
as far as I can tell, no member of the
council is even aware of their signifi-
cance. They certainly havent made any
plans for paying the millions of dollars
that the city will owe if the deal falls
apart.
Hoping we get lucky is not a re-
sponsible decision-making strategy. We
cannot afford to gamble with Clare-
monts future. The city should not pursue
this venture one step further unless and
until we can eliminate the risk of harm to
our finances.

Developer makes modifications to six-acre residential project
C
oncerns over design elements of a
95-unit residential development on
the former strawberry patch lo-
cated on the corner of Towne Avenue and
Base Line Road were addressed Tuesday
evening, thanks to a public informational
meeting orchestrated by William Lyon
Homes and the city of Claremont.
The project design came under fire from residents
at a Claremont Architectural Commission meeting
last month, who felt the style of the multi-family resi-
dential community wasnt in line with the general
feeling of the neighborhood.
Both the commission and community members
raised concerns at that meeting, saying the contempo-
rary and eclectic style of the buildingswith its
stucco, brick and pre-cast stone design elementsap-
peared commercial, urban and repetitive.
The developer took those comments to heart and
with William Hezmalhalch Architects, Inc., reworked
many of the design elements. The changes were pre-
sented to roughly 25 residents who gathered at the
Hughes Center eager to see the revisions.
We wanted to be able to demonstrate to you that
there is a consistency in design from what was previ-
ously shown to the commission as well as the com-
munity and what we have here tonight, William
Lyon Homes Project Manager Joe Martin told the au-
dience.
Mr. Martin and Senior Project Manager Mike
Hutaff stood before residents
and gave their presentation,
showcasing the modified de-
sign elements and the reasons
for the changes.
From a material standpoint,
weve maintained the brick,
stucco and siding material pre-
viously shown, said Mr.
Hutaff. What we want to try
and introduce is a really warm
color palettecolors that are
appropriate for the city of
Claremont. This is how we ar-
rived at the materials and we
wanted it to be seen as one
building.
The 95-unit development in-
cludes two types of buildings:
47 traditional row-style town-
homes as well as 48 motor
court townhomes with a U-
shaped footprint. Each unit has
a private, two-car garage and
there are 42 additional guest
parking spaces on the six-acre
site.
William Lyon Homes took
over the project in April when the propertys previous
owner, City Ventures, sold the site with its plans al-
ready approved by the city.
One particular focal point of the development, a
unit referred to as The Tower, garnered the most
discussion, sparking concerns about the height and
scale of the design feature, which critics described as
aribtrary. The developer reduced the height of the
tower by six feet, and the modified plans will be pre-
sented to the architectural commission in September
for review.
Weve dropped down the height of the tower so
its now consistent with the rest of the buildings, ex-
plained Mr. Hutaff. Weve also changed the roof
form. So instead of being a parapet roof. it actually
has a pit roof on it and its connected back to a stair
element that brings you back up to that third-floor
space.
In addition, a large oak tree will be planted on the
corner of the site, welcoming visitors to the city.
The building setbacks on Base Line Road will be
about 24 feet. On Towne Avenue, however, the set-
back will increase to 35 feet, with parkway landscap-
ing softening the visual impact from the streets.
Towne Avenue will also be fitted with a stucco sound
wall with added design elements to tie it in with the
aesthetics of the property.
One element that sets the William Lyon property
apart from others recently built on Base Line Road is
the addition of a pool and pool cabaa. Because the
cabaa is one of the first buildings seen when driving
into the community, the developer incorporated the
same new design elements found
throughout the property.
I think its wonderful they have
a pool, commented resident Edith
Richardson. Where else are these
homeowners going to go for enter-
tainment, Thompson Creek?
In spite of the warmly-received
modifications to the design ele-
ments, residents and local realtors
raised a few additional concerns.
Specifically, they lamented the
lack of units with first floor bed-
rooms and bathrooms. Out of the
95 units available, only seven have
a ground floor bedroom with a full
bath. All units are either two or
three stories and none are equipped
with an elevator.
We live in a community where
people want to stay in Claremont,
local realtor Cynthia Asinas said.
They get into their retirement
years and they want to right-size.
These properties could possibly fit
the bill, except for the fact that
only seven out of 95 have a bed-
room downstairs and its not even
the master. Thats a problem. We cant even get our
own population to buy here in Claremont.
Overall, Claremont residents were grateful that the
developer heard their concerns and made considerable
design modifications. But not everybody was happy.
After Mr. Martin expressed his desire to build future
homes in Claremont, one resident made it known that
the possibility of that happening was unlikely.
Base Line is filled, theres no place left, Ms. Asi-
nas said. Its absolutely filled and absolutely ruined.
William Lyon Homes will come again before the
architectural commission on September 10 with three
items for approval: the buildings to the rear of the
property, the pool cabaa and the freeway wall along
Towne Avenue.

Mike Hutaff, senior project manager for William Lyon Homes, explains the details of the companys planned
95-home, six-acre development at Base Line Road and Towne Avenue. The residents in attendance had many
questions, some focused on the height of the buildings in the project.
Claremont residents Edith and Ed Richardson listen intently to concerns expressed by the au-
dience during an informational meeting with managers from William Lyon Homes.

It was a case of tree versus truck and
there werent any winners in this battle.
A driver of a truck with an attached
trailer was traveling eastbound on
Foothill Boulevard west of Dartmouth
when he claimed to have been struck by
a limb on an overhanging city tree. How-
ever, officers determined that due to the
size of the truck and the trailer, the vehi-
cle struck the tree, not the other way
around. Based on the evidence on scene,
the officer believed the driver was trav-
eling too fast when he struck the branch.
The cost of the damage to the vehicle and
the tree is unknown at this time.

Bronze bandits strike again in Clare-
mont. Two unknown suspects are wanted
for grand theft after removing a pair of
bronze plaques from Western Christian
School. According to Lieutenant Mike
Ciszek, the missing items are described
as a 38-by-32-inch bronze plaque with
the story of Western Christian School
and a 18--by-11-inch tree dedication
plaque from Eleanor Roosevelt with a
total value of $1400. The case remains
open and under investigation.
* * * *
The Claremont Police Department
conducted another checkpoint along
Foothill Boulevard that resulted in mul-
tiple arrests: two for DUI, six suspended
license with vehicle impounds, three
miscellaneous warrants, and one driver
with an active warrant and no license.
Thursday, August 14
A Claremont man was arrested for
burglary, violation of a court order and
possession of drug paraphernalia after a
resident called police to report a suspi-
cious vehicle parked in the driveway.
The officer responded to the 3900 block
of Williams Avenue around 12:15 p.m.
and made contact with suspect Craig
White. The 28-year-old was wanted for a
violation of a court order from earlier in
the day. Mr. White had forced open a
window at his parents house and re-
moved property from the home before
fleeing the location through a back door.
During a search of the vehicle, officers
found a black duffle bag filled with sev-
eral frozen food items still frozen and a
glass opium pipe. Mr. White was arrested
and remains in custody in downtown Los
Angeles in lieu of $50,000 bail.
Friday, August 15
A teen driver took her eyes off the road
for just a moment and ended up with a
broken arm. The 18-year-old female
driver was traveling southbound on the
100 block of Armstrong Drive around 11
p.m. when she realized she was lost. She
took her eyes off the roadway for a mo-
ment to consult the GPS on her phone
and collided with a cable box and a street
light pole. The driver suffered a broken
arm and was transported to Pomona Val-
ley Medical Center for treatment.
Saturday, August 16
Art comes in many forms, so its im-
portant to have an open mind. Self-pro-
claimed artist Andrew Elizarraras al-
legedly took matters into his own hands
when he urinated on the showroom floor
of Playlist Clothing. Officers responded
to a call from the retail store and an em-
ployee identified Mr. Elizarraras as the
suspect. Officers located the Claremont
man, who exhibited signs of intoxication,
and when asked how much he had im-
bibed, the 47-year-old responded, Im an
artist. I was over at a friends house. He
was arrested for public intoxication and
later released on $250 bail.
Monday, August 18
Another day, another burglary in
Claremont. Unknown suspects entered a
home on the 4000 block of Las Casas
Avenue around 10 a.m. and stole a $600
iPad, $150 in coins and a $1200 diamond
ring before fleeing the scene undetected.
The residence showed no signs of forced
entry and there are no suspects at this
time.

Claremont water bond on November ballot as Measure W
I
ts official. Claremonts
water revenue bond has
been given a name: Meas-
ure Was in winning or
waste of moneydepending
on what side of the water table
you sit.
City staff received notification of the
selection on Monday, August 18 after
submitting several name choices to the
County of Los Angeles, which ulti-
mately chose Measure W as the name
to appear on the November 4 ballot.
The ballot measure, which will re-
quire a Yes or No vote, will be
printed and read as follows:
Shall the City of Claremont be au-
thorized to issue water revenue bonds
up to $135 million to pay for acquisi-
tion of the Claremont
Water System and inci-
dental expenses payable only from the
water systems revenues?
The impartial analysis, arguments in
favor and against the ballot measure, as
well as the rebuttals, can be found
under the Water sidebar located on
the citys website at /www.ci.clare-
mont.ca.us
As the COURIER previously re-
ported, the city recently revised the bal-
lot language to read $135 million in
bonds rather than $55 million as previ-
ously stated, as part of an agreement
with Golden State Water. In exchange,
Golden State agreed to abandon the cit-
izen initiative petition drive that would
require the city to seek voter approval
for all bonds issued in connection with
the acquisition of the water system.
Measure W should not be confused
with Proposition 1, a state water bond
measure that will also appear on the
November ballot, asking voters to ap-
prove $7.1 billion in new borrowing
and to redirect $425 million from past
ballot propositions. It will replace an
$11.1 billion bond that was negotiated
in 2009 but was considered too expen-
sive and too burdened with local, spe-
cial interest projects to pass.
Issues relating to Claremonts ballot
Measure W will be discussed at an in-
formational water bond seminar spon-
sored by the Claremont Chamber of
Commerce on Wednesday, September
17. Business owners and residents are
encouraged to attend the presentation
that will include a panel discussion be-
tween representatives of the city of
Claremont, and Golden State Water, as
well as citizen-groups Claremont
Friends of Locally-Owned Water
(Claremont FLOW) and Claremont Af-
fordable Water Advocates (CAWA).
The seminar will be held on Wednes-
day, September 17 from 11 a.m. to 12:30
p.m. at the DoubleTree Hotel, located at
555 W. Foothill Blvd. in Claremont. At-
tendees are asked to RSVP by Friday,
September 12 to the Claremont Cham-
ber at (909) 624-1681 or via email to
contact@claremontchamber.org.

EDUCATION
S
chool may not be starting
until next Wednesday,
but Claremont Unified
School District Service Center
Supervisor Rick Cota and his
crew have been busy all sum-
mer long.
One of their most pressing projects
has been moving into a new Service
Center, just in time for the new school
year. Its an 8,400-square-foot steel
manufactured building with a cus-
tomized interior, located on the site of
the district office at 170 W. San Jose
Ave.
Fifteen percent of the space is de-
voted to the administrative offices of
the Service Center, which is the head-
quarters of CUSDs grounds and main-
tenance departments and whose staff
oversees any modernization or con-
struction.
The buildings compact size may
sound like a come-down for the district,
given that the previous Service Center,
located on Baseline Avenue, was
10,000-plus square feet.
According to Mr. Cota, however, the
new digs are a vast improvement.
The old Service Center, which was
70 years old, had been randomly ex-
panded over the years.
You had to go from room-to-room
and everything was open. It was like a
catacomb, Mr. Cota said.
The configuration rendered the space
impossible to air condition adequately,
so Mr. Cota and his staff used to spend
as much time as possible away from the
building and onsite at schools.
The old Service Centers prodigious
size had become obsolete over the
years as the district got rid of its fleet of
buses, contracted out for its landscape
maintenance and started ordering
school supplies online rather than
stockpiling them in warehouses. So in
May 2013, CUSD held an auction, in
which the nearly 144,000-foot property
was snatched up in less than five min-
utes by homebuilder D.R. Horton. The
company paid $7 million for the parcel,
which is expected to close escrow in
October.
From the start, Mr. Cota was enthusi-
astic about the sale of the property and
the creation of a new, significantly
streamlined Service Center. The public
was invited to weigh in during several
weeks of discussion on where to place
the districts new center of operations,
during which San Antonio High School
was considered for a time as a potential
Service Center site. The decision to
place it a stones throw from the
Richard S. Kirkendall Center was a
great one, according to Mr. Cota.
The superintendent and all of the
departments are located here, he said,
indicating the neighboring building.
Its convenient being able to physi-
cally speak to a stakeholder fairly in-
stantly instead of from across town,
which makes for a kind of out-of-sight,
out-of-mind feel.
The new Service Center has beauti-
fully working air conditioning, which is
a particular blessing during a hot Inland
Valley summer. The way its built, Mr.
Cota said he can stand at one point and
see everything, from the carpenters
area to the plumbers area.
When construction first began, the
sound from the 10 freeway was so loud
Mr. Cota said, You couldnt even hear
yourself think over the drowning hum
of the vehicles.
Before construction, the noise issue
was of particular concern to school
board member Sam Mowbray, who
said he was worried about the effect the
freeways roar would have on Service
Center workers. Partly due to his advo-
cacy, a sound wall has been built on the
south side of the property that signifi-
cantly blunts the sound of traffic while
you are outdoors and renders it imper-
ceptible when you are in the building.
Lisa Shoemaker, assistant superin-
tendent of business services, has not yet
calculated the total cost of construction
of the new Service Center, but she said
it came in a bit over the original $1.6
million bid. The escalation was due to
additional architect fees and moving
fees, she said.
Since CUSD did not originally own
the property or construct the building
housing the district office, it lacked an
as built, documentation from land
surveys and an architect that detail in-
formation like whats underground on a
particular site.
Because there was no historical in-
formation, we ran into a few things as
we builtquestions as to where the
utilities were located, for instance That
led to some change orders, she said.
For Mr. Cota and his crew, the cost
and the work involved in moving their
operations was worth it.
It feels efficient, he said. Theres
no waste of space.

Following the sale of the former CUSD Service Center, the district is moving its facilities operation to this new 8500-square-

Back to
school
and then
off again
With summer vacation seeming to
have flown by, Claremont students
are poised to return to school this
coming week. Wednesday, August
27 is the first day of school for all
CUSD school sites.
Just five days later, CUSD fami-
lies will have a chance for one more
getaway when students have a three-
day weekend due to Labor Day.
There is no school on Monday, Sep-
tember 1.
CUSD Computer Support Technician Michael Patrick chats with District Locksmith
Brian Smith in the large main warehouse area of the districts new Service Center
on San Jose Avenue in Claremont.
N
ot too long ago, there was a letter
published in the Los Angeles
Times that ended with the follow-
ing: Besides the issues raised by the
shopping center project, in light of the
major California drought and certain tree
diseases appearing, the viability of all
trees we have planted in the area will have
to be re-evaluated.
So much for trees. If they are hard to maintain, then
maybe we shouldnt have them. Maybe we should re-
consider whether theyre really that important. When
I hear someone say re-evaluated like this, I cant
help thinking of when I was growing up and would
understand that when my mom said, Maybe, it re-
ally meant, No.
Even without the mention of a mall, I think its
fairly clear that the writer of the LA Times letter, who
said that the developer has been doing a great job
with its project, doesnt live in Claremont. That was
my immediate thought when I read the comment last
month regarding an article about the controversy over
more than 200 trees being cut down to make way for
a mall inof all places, given its nameThousand
Oaks.
All the more when, earlier this summer, one of the
leading articles in these pages was about deep water-
ing and how Claremont is using this method to save
its trees during this exceptionally dry summer in the
midst of a major drought that appears to have no end.
The article described large bags full of water that are
placed near trees once a week or so. The bags have
very small holes, allowing the water to slowly seep
out and deeply irrigate the trees. Whats more, the
water doesnt run off and go to waste.
And then, a bit later on August 1, it was big news in
the COURIER that an oak tree on Seventh Street, be-
lieved to be over an hundred years old, had one of its
two primary branches fall off. It was explained that,
because of what limb was involved and how deep the
crack was, the tree may not recover.
I dont see an immediate hazard from the tree,
Paul Cranmer, community services manager and cer-
tified arborist with the city of Claremont, was quoted
as saying. ...Well evaluate it and go from there.
Everything was going to be done to save the tree,
according to the article. Even more telling was the
way Angela Bailey opened her story, One of Clare-
monts oldest residents suffered a major setback this
week. The tree isnt just a tree. Its a part of Clare-
mont, indeed, a resident of Claremont.
Two weeks later, it was big news that, sadly, the
tree was so damaged it couldnt be saved. It was also
reported in the COURIER story that the destroyed
tree will be well-used. Its wood will be used to create
a memorial bench, as for a beloved longtime resident,
and the remaining limbs will be used for mulch, made
available to the public soon,
It isnt for nothing that Claremont is known as the
City of Trees, as well as PhDs. Claremont is proud of
its trees and rightfully so; it takes care of its own.
Remember the outrage last year (or was it the year
before?) when a tree in Memorial Park was acciden-
tally cut? Or the distress over trees being removed in
a neighborhood near the Claremont Club?
Yes, we in Claremont love our trees. And no won-
der. There are whole areas of the city that are like a
park. The college campuses are practically a park,
even more so during the summer when the campuses
are mostly not in use. But when the students are here,
its still a lovely place to go to school or just take a
stroll.
Claremont is a good place for strolling and bik-
ingit is promoted as such, with efforts to get people
out of their carsand the trees here are a big reason
for this. On these summer days, the early evenings
are a particularly nice time for walking, but in some
areas with lots of trees, walking in the very warm af-
ternoon can still be pleasant. As I have mentioned be-
fore, except when the heat and especially humidity go
through the roof, I have found it nice to sit and read
under a tree on summer afternoons.
And no doubt our passion for trees is behind all of
the effort and, yes, even controversy over taking con-
trol and ownership of the water supply. We want to
find the best way to ensure we have fair and afford-
able access to water, including for our trees. This
makes sense, particularly when paired with the care
the city is taking in watering its trees in ecologically
smart ways.
There was another letter in the Times reacting to the
Thousand Oaks tree controversy. The writer con-
cluded in this way: What took 200 years to create
can be destroyed in days. Something is terribly wrong
with our priorities.
This sounds much more like Claremont, at least
when it comes to trees. I was also glad to see an arti-
cle in the Times a bit later about Los Angeles doing
deep wateringthe bags with the holes sounded
about the same as Claremontsfor its trees. The arti-
cle focused on a project in Griffith Park.
I dont know if Claremont is leading the way on
trees, but its nice to see this big ecological sensitivity
having taken root in this small town. It goes along
quite nicely with all the Ph.Ds.

COURIER fails standards test
Dear Editor:
While it is the prerogative of news or-
ganizations to take positions on issues or
make endorsements for political office,
the Claremont COURIER fails to meet
basic journalistic standards in its report-
ing of the proposed acquisition of the
citys water system, currently operated by
Golden State Water Company.
The problem with the newspapers
broad support of the water system pur-
chase is that it leaves most readers with
the impression that buying the water sys-
tem will be fast, cheap and advantageous
to ratepayers. This is not accurate.
The city will have to go to court to win
the right to buy the system, a process
called condemnation or eminent domain.
Legal costs alone will amount to millions
of dollars and, as with countless other
complicated water rights cases in Califor-
nia, the proceedings may last some years.
Readers should also understand that the
case for eminent domain is no slam dunk.
The city of Montclair, for example, tried
to acquire its water system in the 1980s
and failed. Private sector water companies
have served communities in California
since the 1870s; courts do not always
agree that there is an overriding public in-
terest in seizing long-held property assets.
If, however, the city manages to con-
vince the courts that eminent domain is
warranted, Golden State has the right to a
jury trial to establish the value of its prop-
erty. One study of several thousand emi-
nent domain awards showed that in most
such cases, plaintiffs (here, that would be
Golden State) get, on average, about 99
percent of what they estimate their prop-
erty is worth, and defendants (that would
be the city of Claremont) pay at least 50
percent more than their highest estimation
of the property value.
If the city currently allows that the sys-
tem may cost $79 million, then it is likely
that a jury would award Golden State
something like $118.5 million for the
water system. The city of Claremont
would need to borrow that amount plus an
additional $25 million or so to obtain min-
imal capital and operating reserves. (This
is to assure bondholders of the citys abil-
ity to service its debt and also to provide
some padding to keep the water system
running if revenues fall or system costs
rise suddenly.)
Combine the new total, $143.5 million,
with an estimated 4.5 percent annual in-
terest rate on a 30-year bond, and the bill
comes to approximately $796 per year in
debt service for each of the 11,000 house-
holds using water in Claremont. Thats
$23,880 for each household over the pe-
riod of borrowing.
Rates for waterincluding the costs of
pumping and conveyance, pipe and well
maintenance, water quality monitoring
and treatment, and water purchases from
Three Valleys Municipal Water District
would be largely additional.
Buying the water system is likely to
take a long time and cost a great deal more
than is currently being reported by advo-
cates of the purchase. Claremonters
should give a lot of thought as to whether
this is the best use of public money.
Most importantly, they should keep in
mind that the debt we incur for the water
system purchase will constrain our ability
to borrow for other things like schools and
roads and parks. Finally, they should con-
sider their own household budgets.
Everyone in Claremont uses water, so
even if the debt service is folded into
water rates, it would function like a huge
new tax. Most unfairly, if all water users
are assessed equally for that debt, the rates
of the smallest and most careful water
users would rise by 200 percent or more.
I, along with many other people who
live in apartments or condominiums, pay
about $26 a month for water. For us, a big
new assessment would be a tough ex-
pense to add to the high cost of living in
southern California.
As the election approaches and voters
consider the ballot initiative, I ask the
Claremont COURIER to investigate this
story carefully and present all the facts.
Its important for people to understand
that establishing a public water system is
likely to impose higher costs for most
people with no additional benefit in do-
mestic water service.

[Editors note: As I explained to Heather
Williams in an email, she is misguided in
her claim that the Claremont COURIER
has taken a position or provided an en-

the water system. We have not. KD]
Water questions
Dear Editor:
Jack Sultze made a thoughtful point in
July 25 and August 18 Readers Com-
ments: If Claremont takes over the local
water system, The citizens of Claremont
would be taking on the liability for future
maintenance and replacement of the in-
frastructuremuch of it 100 years old.
He is right. And taking on that liability
would be a reasonable thing to do. The
system in La Verne is the same age, and
they manage very well with a municipal
water utility. When Golden State fixes
something, we pay for itand it costs
more because they make a hefty profit.
The water company says they maintain
the system well, and why wouldnt they?
We pay for it, they own it, it increases the
value, and they profit through depreciation
at tax-time. In a recent mailer Golden State
told us: We invested more than $21 mil-
lionsince 2000 in expansion and upgrades
to the Claremont water system. (And
since 2000 Claremont residents have paid
an estimated $60 million more than we
would have under La Verne rates.)
Provision for maintenance and repair is
included in the water rates in La Verne, as
it will be in Claremont. If we owned the
system, a fraction of the millions saved
each year would cover emergency repair
costs.
Mr. Sultze also asks If the takeover is
such a great idea, why do they (the city)
think it is necessary to spend $176,000 to
hire a PR firm to sell it to us?
By law, the city cannot spend money to
advocate a yes vote on the bond meas-
ure, but they can fund a program to help
inform the community on the facts. Since
Golden State is said to be spending over a
million dollars to promote their version of
the situation, would it be wise for the city
to expect volunteers, such as Claremont
FLOW, to take on the entire educational
effort?
There is much to consider in this vote.
Join in the discussion. Come to a Clare-
mont FLOW coffee, listed at Claremont-
FLOW.org, where the focus is on facts. A
councilmember is expected to participate
at each one.

A
mericas top surgeon
Dr. Lori Vanyo has
been practicing in the
Claremont area for 15 years
and she continues to raise the
barboth figuratively and lit-
erally.
Not only is Dr.Vanyo a diplomate of
the American Board of Surgery, a fellow
on the American College of Surgeons
and the Chief of Surgery at the Pomona
Valley Medical Center. She can now add
another feat to her list of accolades, gold
medal winner and world record holder in
the United States Powerlifting Associa-
tions Master Division of Womens Raw
Bench Press.
Thats right, the 5-foot, 4-inch, 132-
pound doctor took first place in the 60-
kilogram weight class at the
International Powerlifting Leagues Na-
tional Championships in Las Vegas last
month with her winning lift of 148.8
pounds. And while she was at it, she also
set a new state, American and world
record. The United States Powerlifting
Association named her number one in
the world when the two-time defender
broke the heavy lifting record.
There are no words to describe the
feeling except maybe complete elation
and letting out a loud, Yahoo! Dr.
Vanyo exclaims.
Dr. Vanyo, 48, is a general surgeon
specializing in breast cancer and en-
docrine surgery. When shes not seeing
patients several times a week at her of-
fices on Harvard Avenue, shes perform-
ing surgery at Pomona Valley Hospital
Medical Center (where she was the first
female general surgeon on staff), San
Antonio Community Hospital and Casa
Colina Ambulatory Surgery Center.
I try to stress to my patients the im-
portance of health and fitness, so I think
it is important to also practice what I
preach.
It seems the same discipline, focus
and drive she has in the operating room
carries over to the weight room. Not
only did she set the bar for womens
bench press, she also did it with a flaw-
less form that earned her three white
lights from the judges, which signifies a
technically perfect lift. The lift is very
technical, the most of any of the power-
lifting lifts, explains Dr. Vanyo. For
example, the bar has to be motionless at
the bottom on the lifters chest until a
command is called to press the weight
up.
Dr. Vanyo was pretty confident going
into the competition that she was capa-
ble of setting new records including a
new world record, because she was lift-
ing above the prior records about six
weeks before the event.
The lifts are significantly more diffi-
cult in competition. However, the en-
couragement that I received from my
trainer, my partner and my parents
spurred me on that much more, she
said.
After years of practicing yoga, Dr.
Vanyo decided to let her downward dog
off the leash and hit the weights. Just
four months into her weight training, she
was noticed by Louis Hernandez, a
USPA judge and hall of famer, while
working out at the Claremont Club in
2012.
He saw me doing my bench press
workout at the club one day. He saw
what I was lifting at that time and sug-
gested I compete. I was 46 years old,
and I didnt think it sounded feasible,
Dr. Vanyo admits. He brought me a
flyer the following week for the USPA
Nationals that were about six weeks
RAISING THE BAR/next page
Claremont surgeon strong-arms her way to lifting records
Dr. Lori Vanyo is a surgeon specializing in breast cancer and endocrine surgery
and has been an athlete her whole life. Now she has earned a gold medal at the
National Powerlifting Championships and set a world record in the bench
press for her age and weight class.
away. I laughed and then decided a few days later to
enter the competition.
Dr. Vanyo ended up taking first place in her division.
Even though shes a latecomer to the sport, if her fa-
ther Mike is any indication, shell have a long and illus-
trious career.
M
y father has been lifting
weights throughout most
of his life, so I was around
it growing up. He turns 80 years old this
November and still uses the 85-to-100-
pound dumbbells for his flat dumbbell
presses, and he bench pressed 300 pounds
every year for his birthday for 48 years
straight, said Dr. Vanyo proudly.
I watched his example of health and fitness and
wanted to follow it. To some extent, it might just be in
my blood. I also enjoy the competition of it all, and I
love how motivating it is in terms of training.
Dr. Vanyo spends about two hours a day, three days
a week pumping iron at the Claremont Club with her
trainer, Matthew Tanoue. He trains her specifically in
bench press and really pushes her to an extreme. He
emphasizes strength and power techniques with a ton
of core, and focuses a lot on eccentric muscles.
The key is to peak at the right time and to avoid
overtraining, explains Dr. Vanyo. Adequate rest is
crucial to muscle recovery and development. I allow
about three months to peak. During that time, I gain
about 10-20 pounds of body weight. I prefer to train at
a heavier body weight than my competition weight.
I then drop fat pounds starting about 4-6 weeks out
by adding in cardio (incline walking, so as to burn fat
but not muscle), she continued. I work the cardio in
on the days in between weight training. I try to target
my competition weight about three weeks out. I dont
lift at all the week before a competition. The weigh-ins
are usually 12-24 hours before a competition, so there
is time to carb-load and hydrate and gain back some of
the water weight before the competition begins.
Although some athletes might be satisfied with gold
medals and world record titles, Dr. Vanyo isnt one of
them. She will continue on with her training and com-
pete in the 132-pound weight class/master 2 division at
the International Powerlifting League World Champi-
onships in November. I took first place the past two
years in the 122.5-pound weight class/master 2 divi-
sion, she says. My dad has a lifetime of experience
and knowledge, and so I follow his guidance regarding
my training. I also train with my partner Christine, who
pushes me as well and who makes my training a prior-
ity.
So how does Dr. Vanyo balance a successful career
as a power lifter and a power surgeon? I make time to
work out because it is a priority. I am busy, but I still
take the best care of my body that I can, and I try to get
really good rest and sleep. I find I am more efficient at
work and in my career if I take care of myself. I have
more to give my patients when I remain balanced.

Ray Eberle of Upland died August 15,
2014 at Silverado Sierra Vista Memory
Care Community in Azusa from fron-
totemporal dementia. He was 73.
He was born in Buffalo, New York on
April 27, 1941, the son of Raymond and
Genevieve Eberle. He grew up playing
all kinds of sports but excelled in base-
ball and basketball. Indeed, he earned the
family nickname of Mickey, for his hot
bat and beautiful blue eyes. He attended
St. Josephs Collegiate Institute on a
sports scholarship during high school
and was signed as a bonus baby by the
Detroit Tigers. Although injuries stopped
him from moving up to the majors, he
played in the Carolina minor leagues
during the 1960s.
After leaving baseball, he attended
Buffalo State, SUNY, where he earned a
bachelors degree in secondary social
studies education and a masters degree
in secondary education/sociology. He
married Grace Ann Vaccaro in 1963 and
they had three children, Roxanne, Mark
and Rachael. Although their marriage
ended in divorce, they remained true
friends until Graces death.
Mr. Eberle began a career in univer-
sity administration in 1966 at Buffalo
State. He was an advocate for first-gen-
eration college students and served as the
associate director of the Educational Op-
portunity Program and later as its acting
director. In 1977, he became the assistant
vice president for student affairs and the
associate director of housing and resi-
dence life. Active in the civil rights
movements of the 1960s, he believed in
the power of education to transform in-
dividual lives, and lived his life by that
principle.
In 1982, he moved to southern Cali-
fornia to become the director of housing
at Cal Poly Pomona. He later held a dual
position as director of housing and in-
terim director of student life. While at
Cal Poly, he developed the club football
program and made it into a thriving con-
cern that supported student-athletes in
both their studies and their sport.
Mr. Eberle retired in 1991, the same
year that he married Valerie Baird, his
beloved wife of 23 years. During retire-
ment, he coached softball and football
for the Claremont Colleges and the Uni-
versity of La Verne, and worked as a bas-
ketball referee at all levels of play. Ray
and Valerie always opened up their
hearts and home to their children and
grandchildren and when Mr. Eberle was-
nt in California, he was back on the East
Coast spending time with family. He was
an indulgent and loving grandfather,
soothing cranky babies (and their par-
ents), playing catch, reading stories and
buying everyone ice cream.
Mr. Eberle is survived by his wife, Va-
lerie; by his children, Roxanne Eberle of
Athens, Georgia, Mark Eberle of Buf-
falo, New York and Rachael Eberle
Young of Buffalo; and by seven grand-
children, Hannah, Seamus, Bella, Grace,
Leila, Sophia and Noah. He also leaves
three siblings, Michael Eberle of Lake-
side, Paul Eberle of Dayton, Ohio and
Margaret (Eberle) Bryenton of Olympia,
Washington, as well as five nephews and
two nieces.
A memorial service will be held on
Saturday, August 23 at 1 p.m. in the
Kingman Chapel at the Claremont
United Church of Christ, 233 W. Harri-
son Ave. in Claremont.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be
made to the Ray Eberle Educational
Fund, which has been established for the
caregivers of Silverado Sierra Vista
Memory Care Community. Checks
should be made payable to the Silverado
Foundation, with a memo noting Ray
Eberle Fund, Azusa. Please send dona-
tions to the Silverado Sierra Vista Mem-
ory Care Community, Attn: Vida Gwinn,

OBITUARIES
Winifred Tarpey, also known as
Tween or Win, died peacefully at her In-
verness home on August 13, 2014. She
was 89.
Ms. Tarpey was a lifelong Californian.
She was born September 16, 1924 and
grew up in Oakland, graduating from
Oakland Technical High School in 1942.
She graduated from the University of
California at Berkeley in 1948 and later
attended graduate school at the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology. She
studied chemistry in an era when few
women were in the sciences.
Over the course of her studies, Ms.
Tarpey co-authored a number of articles
in her field. These included papers with
esoteric titles such as Branched-Chain
Fatty Acids with Branching Methyl
Groups Near the Carboxyl, printed in
the Journal of Organic Chemistry, and
The Preparation of Demerol-N-Methyl-
C14 by Reductive Methylation1, pub-
lished in the Journal of the American
Chemistry Society.
She married Ray Frazer in 1950 and
moved to Claremont in 1952. She and
Mr. Frazer had five children and di-
vorced in 1973. Ms. Tarpey worked for
many years as a chemistry teacher at the
joint sciences department of the Clare-
mont Colleges, retiring in 1986. She was
very proud that two of her granddaugh-
ters later attended Scripps College in
Claremont.
She moved to Inverness after retiring,
and enjoyed her gorgeous Marin County
home until her death. Win was an avid
reader, hiker, swimmer and dog lover,
who remained active her entire life. She
was an inspiration to all who knew her
on how to live a good life.
Ms. Tarpey is survived by her sister
Martha; by her five children, Alan, Liz
(Bob), James, Barb (Jeff) and Catherine;
and by her seven grandchildren,
Meghann (Mike), Thomas, Nicole, Lane
(Leah), Randi, Leah and Garrett. She
also leaves two great-grandchildren, Tye
and Ethann, several nieces and nephews,
many friends and her dog Charlie.
A celebration of Ms. Tarpeys life will
be held in mid-September in Inverness.
Details are pending.
If anyone would like to share their
memories of Win, please mail them to
Catherine Frazer, 63 Spring Creek Rd.,
Absarokee, MT 59001 or send them by
email to frazer@absarokee.k12.mt.us.

OUR TOWN
Aileen Marie Robinson, who lived in
the same Claremont home for the past
53 years, died on Monday, August 11,
2014. She was 93.
Born on December 24, 1920 in
Boone County, Nebraska to parents
Conrad and Louise Wegener, she was
raised on a farm in the town of St. Ed-
ward, Nebraska, where she graduated
from high school in 1939.
After winning a blue ribbon at the
Nebraska State Fair for original under-
garment pattern design and earning a
scholarship in home economics to the
University of Nebraska, she instead
moved to California in 1939 and settled
in the Pomona area, where she and her
sister often enjoyed dancing with sol-
diers at USO events held at the Los An-
geles County Fairgrounds. She
eventually met and married Sidney
Robinson, a Midwestern Navy trans-
plant from Kansas, in 1947. They lived
in Pomona until 1961, when they
moved to the Claremont home she re-
mained in for the duration of her life.
She and her husband were enthusias-
tic travelers before they had children,
including a trip to Cuba in the 1950s.
They were also sports fanatics, enjoy-
ing Los Angeles Rams season tickets at
the LA Memorial Coliseum. She con-
tinued to prefer sports to all other tele-
vision programming throughout her life
and took great joy in cheering for local
teams with her children and grandchil-
dren.
Mrs. Robinson worked in the pho-
tography department at the Los Angeles
County Fair following the passing of
her husband in 1971. She eventually
took over as coordinator of the exhibit
in 1980, overseeing the internationally
recognized show through 1987.
She joined the Assistance League of
Pomona Valley in 1953 and served as
president in 1957. A life member, she
was the National Assistance Leagues
regional liaison and served on the na-
tional public relations committee. She
remained active with the organizations
Lazy Susans auxiliary and was pre-
sented its Ada Edwards Laughlin
Award in 1994.
Mrs. Robinson was a dedicated, life-
long Republican who was active in the
National Federation of Republican
Women and its local chapter up through
her 70s.
Mrs. Robinson also volunteered at
Claremont schools, serving as president
of the Parent-Faculty Association at
Sumner Elementary School in 1971 and
on the CHS Class of 1977 Grad Night
Committee. Along with her philan-
thropic and volunteer work, Mrs.
Robinson read voraciously and was a
keen bridge player, playing several
times a month through her early 90s.
Albeit quiet in nature, she was an
ever-present and devoted supporter of
her children and grandchildren.
Mrs. Robinson is survived by her
daughter and son-in-law, Ann and Bob
Miller of Pomona, and her son and
daughter-in-law, Sid and Beth Robin-
son of Upland. She also leaves a grand-
daughter and her husband, Ashley and
Shannon Robb of Eastvale, and grand-
sons Sid Robinson and Sam Robinson,
both of San Marcos.
Her husband Sidney Robinson,
brother Leonard Wegener and sister
Lorraine Wegener preceded her in
death.
A memorial service for Mrs. Robin-
son will be held on Friday, August 29 at
11 a.m. at Todd Memorial Chapel, lo-
cated at 570 N. Garey Ave. in Pomona.
In lieu of flowers, the family sug-
gests that donations be made to the As-
sistance League of Pomona Valley, 655
N. Palomares St., Pomona, CA 91767.

OBITUARIES
COURIER photos/Helen Arase
Incoming freshman Arianna Huizar walks through the welcome arch near the 800 quad during
Claremont High Schools freshmen orientation on Wednesday. Student counselors and activ-
ity members cheered for each freshman who passed through. At the same time, parents con-
vened at Taylor Hall for a greeting from CHSprincipal Brett OConnor and School Resource Of-
ficer Corporal Sean Evans from the Claremont Police Department as well as counselors and
administrators.
Sarah Pearlman and
Christopher Navarro
S
arah Pearlman and Christopher Navarro
were married at the beautiful Sanders
Mansion in Auburn, Washington on Friday,
May 16, 2014.
They had an intimate wedding with their close friends and
family members. Karen Pearlman, the brides sister, was the
maid of honor and Frank Navarro, the grooms brother, was the
best man. Their mutual friend Greg Burns served as the grooms-
man and his wife, Kelly Burns, was the bridesmaid. The couples
two dogs were also in the wedding as escorts for the maid of
honor and bridesmaid. Following the wedding, they enjoyed a re-
laxing weeklong cruise to Alaska for their honeymoon.
The bride is the daughter of Kay Pearlman and sister of Karen
Pearlman, both of Claremont. She was born in India, joined her
forever family at the age of 3 months and was adopted shortly
thereafter. She attended Condit Elementary, El Roble Intermedi-
ate and Claremont High School, graduating in 2005. She earned
her AA in social and behavioral sciences from Citrus College and
attended Cal Poly, Pomona.
While in college, she worked for five years at the Live Oak
branch (Arcadia) of the County of Los Angeles Public Library
system. After years of dreaming about it, in August 2011 the new
Mrs. Navarro left her family, Chris and most of her pets behind
when she moved to Washington, where she was determined to
pursue her goal of working with animals by finishing her studies
at Washington State University.
The groom is the son of Rita Tarazon of Azusa and brother of
Frank Navarro of Seattle. He was born in Los Angeles and at-
tended El Sereno Elementary, Slauson Middle School and Azusa
High School, where he graduated in 2001. In high school, he let-
tered in varsity tennis and also played in a punk band. Following
high school, Mr. Navarro briefly attended Citrus College and
then decided to take a break from school. After moving to Pull-
man, he went back to school to study criminal justice. He has
worked in many different fields, including delivering pizzas, sell-
ing life and auto insurance, selling guitars, as an apartment man-
ager and as a chef for a sorority house; he now works at
Washington State University. In the future, he hopes to have a ca-
reer in federal or local law enforcement.
The couple met through a mutual friend and immediately dis-
covered that they had many things in common. Although they
had only been dating for a few months when Sarah moved to
Washington, her future husband followed her six months later
and they now both consider Washington to be their home state.
For the first year, they lived in the Seattle area, where they
both held part-time jobs and, for the past two years, they have
lived in Pullman. Both are currently pursuing their studies and
hope to get their degrees within the next year. After graduation,
they plan to settle in western Washington, where they will pursue
graduate school and their chosen careers.
Claremont High Schools hip-hop team Wolfgang performs a dance routine to
Iggy Azaleas song Fancy at freshmen orientation on Wednesday. The per-
formance also featured the CHS band, junior varsity cheerleading team and re-
marks from the 2014-2015 ASB president.
T
he Pomona College Museum of
Arts ongoing Art After Hours
series will return with a fall
2014 kickoff event on Thursday, Sep-
tember 4 from 5 to 11 p.m.
Guests will be invited to view the museums cur-
rent exhibits, including Petrochemical America:
Project Room, Project Series 49: Sam Falls, Allied
Against AIDS: Sue Coe's AIDS Portfolio and
Miniature Worlds: Chinese Snuff Bottles.
The celebration will head into full gear beginning
at 9 p.m. with live music spun by a KSPC DJ, an
ice cream sundae bar, raffles and prizes. The event
is free and open to the public.
Petrochemical America is a traveling exhibition
organized by the Aperture Foundation, which
showcases a partnership between photographer
Richard Misrach and landscape architect Kate Orff.
Their collaboration includes Mr. Misrachs haunt-
ing photographs of the industrialized landscape of
the Mississippi River Corridor that stretches from
Baton Rouge to New Orleansa place that first gar-
nered attention as Cancer Alley because of unusu-
ally high reports of cancer and other diseases in the
area. Ms. Orffs contribution is an Ecological Atlas,
a series of visual narratives or throughlines.
Sam Falls creates installations, paintings, photo-
graphs and sculptures that examine entropy, per-
ception, time and the artistic process. In recent
years, Mr. Falls has focused on the natural
processes of decomposition and deterioration, in-
cluding long-term effects of sunlight and weather
as works gradually fade or rust.
Mr. Falls embraces the intersection of the natural,
historical and digital. For example, a recent photo-
graphic series based on abandoned houses in
Joshua Tree conflated photography, re-photogra-
phy, digital manipulation and installation. His
newest sculptures consist of brightly colored,
folded sheets of aluminum coated with UV protec-
tive finish on the outside, and uncoated on the in-
side. These will gradually, and unpredictably,
change over time.
He has also recently created photograms by
leaving variously colored sheets of material, cov-
ered in objects, outside at his studio in Pomona,
California. In Project Series 49, Mr. Falls will
present a new site-specific installation investigating
the complex nature of reality and the mutability of
perception.
Allied Against AIDS: Sue Coe's AIDS Portfo-
lio has been drawn from the permanent collection
of the Pomona College Museum of Art. Ms. Coe is
a painter, visual essayist, illustrator and social critic
who through her work serves as a graphic witness
to social injustice.
In 1994, Ms. Coe was invited to visit the AIDS
ward at Galveston Hospital in Texas. While there,
she met patients in various stages of the disease,
recording the ravages of what that year became the
leading cause of death for Americans ages 25 to 44.
Ms. Coes stay, part of an initiative by the hospi-
tals Department of Infectious Diseases to spread
AIDS awareness, yielded seven line etchings and
three photo-etchings. Packaged in a case embla-
zoned with the red toxic waste symbol, the five in-
dividual portraits and five hospital scenes humanize
those suffering in the midst of a frightening epi-
demic. Made with the sitters permission, the por-
traits are accompanied by simple titles and texts and
focus on personal events and stories rather than ab-
stract numbers or a social cause. Ms. Coes prints
counteract political and social stigma by portraying
the lived experiences of those most affected.
Miniature Worlds is a display of 180 Chinese
snuff bottles selected from the museums perma-
nent collection. Snuff, fine-ground tobacco that is
lightly inhaled into the nostril, originated in the
Americas, became popular in Europe by the seven-
teenth century, and was soon after introduced to
China by missionaries and merchants.
The production and use of snuff bottles emerged
as a symbol of social status, and bottles were given
as gifts to courtiers, family members and acquain-
tances. The height of production was during the
Qing dynasty (1644-1911), with materials ranging
from glass and jade to bamboo and mother-of-pearl.
Snuff bottles include several common motifs; for
example, different animals or landscapes allude to
traditional tales or symbolize a variety of good tid-
ings or wishes.
Each of the above exhibits is on view Tuesday,
September 2 through December 19, with a collec-
tive opening reception set for Saturday, September
6 from 5 to 7 p.m.
The Pomona Museum of Art is located at 330 N.
College Ave. in Claremont. For information, call
(909) 621-8283 or visit museuminfo@pomona.edu.

ant to learn more about the
Earths prehistoric past? You
may want to check out
Walking with Dinosaurs: The Arena
Spectacular, which is running from
September 11-14 at the Staples Center
in Los Angeles.
Based on the popular BBC TV series, the show
features life-sized animatronic dinosaurs, ranging
from the ferocious T-rex to the huge but gentle
plant-eater Plateosaurus.
A press release makes the show sound pretty ex-
citing: The history of the world is played out with
the splitting of the earths continents, and the tran-
sition from the arid desert of the Triassic period is
given over to the lush green prairies and forces of
the later Jurassic. Oceans form, volcanoes erupt, a
forest catches fireall leading to the impact of the
massive comet, which struck the earth, and forced
the extinction of the dinosaurs.

with black and white and focuses on the human
figure, but in this exhibition she faces the chal-
lenge of going out of her comfort zone by working
with color and landscapes.

: Back to school
A bright idea: Local student gives Haitian kids a run for the money
I
am Christopher Currie.
I recently graduated the
eighth grade from St.
Marks Episcopal School in
Upland, moving on to
Damien High School. While
I was at St. Marks, I learned
to love running.
St. Andres has been our sister school
at St. Marks and we are all about sup-
porting them. St. Andres is an Episco-
pal school in Trianon, Haiti. By
having this partnership we, as the St.
Marks community, are able to donate
money and supplies for their basic
needs. I have always seen pictures of
St. Andres from Mrs. Gideon and Ms.
Vinnedge, two teachers at St. Marks
that visit St. Andres often. I wanted to
experience these pictures in real life.
I wanted to visit St. Andres, because
I have heard many things about the
school. I thought that it would be a
great service trip to be a part of. My sis-
ter has done many service trips
throughout her years of school, and her
experience has inspired me to do the
same. I grew up learning to care about
the kids at St. Andres because of our
support for them over the years.
I visited Haiti in February on my
winter break. While I was in Haiti, I
saw that the people there had few pos-
sessions. When I visited St. Andres, I
saw that the kids each had a backpack
and a food dish from home. I discov-
ered that they had great needs. The kids
always had a smile on their faces. The
kids were very excited to receive a pot,
seeds and a shovel. This science project
was our service to them. I realized that
most of the students and the school did-
nt have electricity or running water.
I wanted to raise money to help their
needs. I talked to Mrs. Gideon about
what would be helpful for the students.
She gave me the idea to give the stu-
dents a solar-powered, inflatable Luci
light and a book. This would cost $25
per student. I had seen Luci lights while
I was in Haiti and it seemed like a ter-
rific idea. My idea to help raise money
was a runathon, which I called The Run
for St. Andres.
I developed The Run for St. Andres
by communicating with the athletic di-
rector, Mr. Arbizu, and Mrs. Gideon.
Since I am known for running, I de-
cided to make it a run. I invited each St.
Marks student to participate and en-
couraged them to raise $25 each to sup-
port one student. The students raised
money by asking a family member or
a friend to sponsor them by either
pledging money per lap that they ran or
to donate money to the cause. The
event took place June 2. As an entire
community, we raised over $4,500,
which was enough for each student to
have a Luci light and a book.
The Run for St. Andres was a great
experience for me and I hope it was for
the runners as well. Im sure that each
student of St. Andres will love the Luci
light and the book that we will be pro-
viding them.

S
ome dogs are special. They can win
obedience school prizes, or do
tricks. But in this short story, the lit-
tle boys dog is...well, normal. Or he
thinks his dog is, until he sees his canine
friend wearing a tuxedo! What is he up to?
And where does he disappear to at night?
This story, The Night I Followed the
Dog, is an exciting, fun book with very
bright illustrations. Recommended for
kids from second to fourth grade.

mont Kids, a section
of the newspaper devoted to the

Wednesday, on August 27, after what was
hopefully a fun and relaxing summer vacation.
With this in mind, this weeks kids pages have
a back-to-school theme.
Weve got a story by a local studentrecent St.
Marks graduate Christopher Curriewhose
bright idea made a big difference for children at a
school in Haiti. Weve got information on classes
you can take through the city of Claremont and a
book review by Claremont Kids correspondent
Eden Yu, who is about to start 7th grade at El
Roble. And weve got an exciting opportunity for
you to win a family pack of tickets to see Disney

As usual, weve also got some enjoyable ac-
tivities like a word search, coloring image and
school-flavored jokes. Want to find out how you

at school?
T
he city of Claremont has
released its fall Recre-
ation and Activities
Guide, and its full of opportu-
nities for kids to learn some-
thing new while having a blast.
Do you have an artistic streak? You
may be interested in trying out one of
several art classes being offered. These
include a six-class course on Explor-
ing Color, where kids ages 6 to 11 can
explore the color spectrum, with proj-
ects including making rainbow-hued
paintings and drawings.
There are two sessions planed, both
on Thursday afternoons from 3:15 to
4:15 p.m. The first runs September 4
through October 9 and the second runs

cost per session is $70, with an added
$5 materials fee.

and develop skills like creating land-
scapes and still lifes. The four-class
course, aimed at kids ages 6 to 12, is
held on Wednesdays from 4 to 4:45
p.m., with the session running from Oc-
tober 8 to October 29. Smaller artists
ages 3-and-a-half to 5 can take Young
Rembrandts Preschool Drawing class
on the same series of Wednesdays, just
an hour earlier, from 3 to 3:45 p.m.
If youre a fan of animation, you may

Cartoon Drawing course. During four
classes, from October 8 through Octo-
ber 29, you will learn to illustrate ob-
jects, people and furry animals in hilar-
ious situations. The cost for each Young

T
he COURIER has a four-
pack of tickets for one lucky
kid and their family to see
Disney Live! Mickeys Music Fes-
tival. The exciting stage show is set
for Friday, September 19 at 4:30 p.m.
at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
Youll love seeing more than 25 Disney
characters singing and dancing to
hit tunes from favorite flicks
like Aladdin, The Little
Mermaid and Toy
Story, remixed with a
variety of rock, pop,
reggae, hip-hop, jazz
and country jams.
Can you say sing-
along fun?
But were going to
make you work for
the tickets.
We want you to
pick a Disney vil-
lainsomeone like Ur-
sula, Cruella Deville,
Hades, Jafar, Maleficent,
Cinderellas wicked step-
mother, Snow Whites wicked
queen or Medusa from The Res-
cuers. Then, we want you to
write a defense for your chosen
baddie, explaining why they
act the way they do and how
they arent so bad after all. You can write
your defense in your words, serving as the
villains defense attorney, or in the words of
the seemingly devilish Disney character.
The COURIER staff will pick our favorite
entry, give the writer the tickets and run their
story in our next kids pages, which
will run on Friday, September
19, the day of the big show.
Even if you dont win, if
we like your story it may
well make the pages of
the newspaper.

creepy character, along
with your name, age,
school, address and phone
number, by Friday, August
29. You can get it to us via

Any information obtained will be used for that pur-

you are considering bidding on this property lien,
you should understand that there are risks involved
in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding
on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the
highest bid on a trustee auction does not automati-
cally entitle you to free and clear ownership of the
property. You should also be aware that the lien
being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are
the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be
responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien
being auctioned off, before you can receive clear
title to the property. You are encouraged to investi-
gate the existence, priority, and size of the out-
standing lien that may exist on this property by
contacting the county recorders office or a title in-
surance 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 mort-
gagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to
Section 2924g of California Civil Code. The law
requires that information about trustee sale post-
ponements be made available to you and to the pub-
lic, 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

www.usa-foreclosure.com, using the file number
assigned to this case T.S.# 80453. 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 in-
formation or on the internet Web site. The best way
to verify postponement information is to attend the
scheduled sale. FEI # 1077.00091 08/08/2014,

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER
ESTATE OF ESTHER J. RATINOFF
Case No. BP154592
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors,
contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise
be interested in the will or estate, or both, of ESTHER
J. RATINOFF
A PETITION FOR PROBATE has
been filed by Edward James Ratinoff in the Superior
Court of California, County of LOS ANGELES.
THE PETITION FOR PROBATE re-
quests that Edward James Ratinoff be appointed as
personal representative to administer the estate of the
decedent.
THE PETITION requests the dece-
dent's will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate.
The will and any codicils are available for exam-
ination in the file kept by the court.
THE PETITION requests authority to
administer the estate under the Independent Ad-
ministration of Estates Act. (This authority will
allow the personal representative to take many ac-
tions without obtaining court approval. Before tak-
ing certain very important actions, however, the
personal representative will be required to give no-
tice to interested persons unless they have waived
notice or consented to the proposed action.) The in-
dependent 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 authority.
A HEARING on the petition will be
held on Sept. 8, 2014 at 8:30 AM in Dept. No. 9
located at 111 N. Hill St., Los Angeles, CA90012.
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 appear-
ance 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 per-
sonal 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 Califor-
nia Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal
authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You
may want to consult with an attorney knowledge-
able 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. A Request for Special Notice form
is available from the court clerk.

that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee
auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the
property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee
auction does not automatically entitle you to free and
clear ownership of the property. You should also be
aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a jun-
ior 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 out-
standing liens that may exist on this property by con-
tacting 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 re-
sources, 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 mort-
gagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to
Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law
requires that information about trustee sale post-
ponements be made available to you and to the pub-
lic, 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) 730-2727 or visit this Internet Web site
WWW.LPSASAP.COM, using the file number as-
signed to this case 007984-CA. Information about
postponements that are very short in duration or that
occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not im-
mediately 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. FOR SALES INFORMATION: (714) 730-

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER
ESTATE OF DAVID NICHOLAS BRONDAR-
BIT, AKA DAVID BRONDARBIT
CASE NO. BP150730
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent
creditors, and persons who may otherwise be in-
terested in the will or estate, or both, of DAVID
NICHOLAS BRONDARBIT, AKA DAVE
BRONDARBIT:
A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by
JULIE HARRISON in the Superior Court of Cal-
ifornia, County of Los Angeles.
THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that
JULIE HARRISON be appointed as personal rep-
resentative to administer the estate of the dece-
dent.
THE PETITION requests the decedents will and
codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will
and any codicils are available for examination in
the file kept by the court.
The PETITION requests authority to administer
the estate under the Independent Administration
of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the per-
sonal representative to take many actions without
obtaining court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the personal rep-
resentative will be required to give notice to in-
terested 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 authority.
A HEARING ON THE PETITION WILL BE
HELD IN THIS COURT AS FOLLOWS:
Date: September 10, 2014 Time: 8:30 in Dept.:
29 Room: 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 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 ACREDITOR 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 per-
sonal 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 Califor-
nia Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal authority
may affect your rights as a creditor. You may
want to consult with an attorney knowledge-
able 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. A Request for Special Notice
form is available from the court clerk.
