WITH ROOM TO GROW
Two wrongs dont make a right
Dear Editor:
Growing up in Claremont I was taught
that two wrongs dont make a right.
Golden State Water was wrong to in-
crease our rates by double digits during
the deepest recession of my lifetime.
These increases led to protests and the
formation of Claremont Outrage.
The plan to purchase the water com-
pany is also wrong because doing so can-
not possibly solve the problem it attempts
to address. The debt the city is asking the
voters to authorize, $135 million, would
require just over $104.12 per month, or
$1217 per year, to be collected from every
home and business in Claremont simply
to pay principal and interest. All other
costs such as charges for state water, elec-
tricity to run the pumps, maintenance and
so on would be on top of this.
Further, the situation with water in Cal-
ifornia is fluid and the future is un-
known. The state legislature just passed a
law allowing the state to control ground-
water. Will Claremont be required to use
expensive state water instead of its own
aquifer?
Currently, at the highest tiered rate and
considering all of the surcharges, a Clare-
mont resident pays just over a half a cent
per gallon. The Mayo Clinic tells us that a
healthy human needs about 8/10 gallons
each day. Data reported to the state tell us
that in 2013 the average use in Claremont
was 344 gallons per person per day: more
than 400 times the minimum required.
My family has reduced our water usage
by 64 percent in the past four years, and
our annual bills have gone down by a
third.
As residents, we can reduce our re-
liance on expensive imported water; 50
percent of the water our community used
in 2013 was imported. As a community,
we can actively engage in the rate-setting
process, and I am glad to see that the city
has announced it will do so. There are
several effective ways to truly reduce and
stabilize rates. Taking over the water com-
pany is not one of them. It just com-
pounds a previous wrong.
Please join me and make the only right
decision and vote no on Measure W.
Mark Sterba
Claremont
Do away with corporate greed
Dear Editor:
This letter is to ask fellow Claremon-
ters to please join with hundreds of their
neighbors to help Claremont take back
our water system.
Many unpaid volunteers have been
working tirelessly to put forward the true
issues. Our city has been very careful not
to mislead voters and make outrageous
promises. Golden State hired self-pro-
claimed water experts and others have
the corporations deep pockets support-
ing them as they bombard voters with
misinformation and unsubstantiated
claims of ridiculously high costs and
prices while threatening to sue the city
and others who hope to get out informa-
tion in favor of Measure W.
A strong voter turnout in favor of
Measure W will help Claremont reclaim
our water and do away with corporate
greed, arrogance and intimidation.
Vote yes on Measure W!

At $222 million, Golden State releases big water price tag
S
o just what is Claremonts water sys-
tem worth? If you ask Golden State
Water Company, its $222 million.
In a second analysis of the citys system,
released by Golden State on Tuesday,
water company representatives have given
Claremonts system its highest price tag
yet, albeit in draft form.
Golden State Water Company estimating Clare-
monts water system value at $222 million is either fan-
tasy, incompetence or wishful thinking, stated
Claremont resident Joe Farrell. While Golden State
Water has presented its number as a replacement
value, no one replaces a public utilitys assets.You
dont build a parallel water, gas, electric or sewer sys-
tem.It is not like taking private land for a freeway, a
park or a factory.A utility is designed to be a monop-
oly.
According to Golden State Water spokesperson Julie
Hooper,a final analysis on the water system will be
prepared if and when an eminent domain lawsuit is
filed by the city. According to Ms. Hooper, the lawsuit
will establish the applicable date for determining the
inventory of facilities to be condemned, as well as the
replacement cost and level of depreciation of the facili-
ties.
With less than five weeks remaining before Clare-
monts registered voters flood the polls to cast their bal-
lots on Measure W, the staggering price tag has led
many Claremonters to question not only the methodol-
ogy behind the analysis but also how the numbers will
pan out in a case of eminent domain.
It looks like it was just an analysis of what it would
cost to replace the system if they were
starting from scratch, says Freeman
Allen with Claremont Friends of Lo-
cally Owned Water (FLOW). It doesnt consider the
present system isnt new. They need to take into ac-
count its depreciation.
Prepared by engineering firm Hatch Mott MacDon-
ald, the draft analysis includes a review of the 150
miles of pipe, 17 wells, 11 reservoirs, 11 booster sta-
tions and 11,065 customer meters that make up the
Claremont system, concluding the replacement value
of the system to be $222,772,010.
By implementing the Replacement Cost New Less
Depreciation (RCNLD) methodology for valuation, the
engineering firm estimated the current construction re-
placement cost of what it would take to replace the en-
tire existing water system and then depreciated that
estimation by an amount consistent with the observed
depreciation of the assets. The data for the analysis was
collected from the 2008 Master Plan, planning studies,
site inspections and interviews with Golden State per-
sonnel with knowledge of the operations and mainte-
nance history of the water system.
We performed an analysis of the Claremont water
production and distribution tangible assets, including
distribution mains, valves, hydrants, services, meters,
wells, pumps, tanks and associated structures, electri-
cal, treatment equipment and other miscellaneous as-
sets, said Hatch Mott MacDonald engineer Michael
Altland, PE. Estimates of the engineering design, per-
mitting and funding for construction of these assets
were also prepared and included in the analysis.
However, not included in the report was discussion
of water rights, real property or other assets. According
to Golden State, the value of those assets will only
serve to increase what they consider fair market value
of the water system. It is this figure that would be pre-
sented to a jury in the event the city moves forward
with the takeover of the system.
Claremont officials are quick to point out that the
city engaged a certified appraisal expert as directed by
state law, who appraised the water system at $55 mil-
lion. Despite that assertion, it should be noted that the
replacement value analysis put forth by Golden State is
another accepted methodology of appraising property
taken by eminent domain. A judge or jury may take this
report into account, along with other factors, in reach-
ing its decision.
During an eminent domain court proceeding, a Los
Angeles County jury will decide the price that the city
of Claremont must pay to take over Golden State
Waters water system, and they will be instructed to de-
termine the highest price a willing buyer would pay for
the assets, eminent domain attorney George Soneff,
partner at Manatt, Phelps and Phillips, said in a press
release issued by Golden State Water.
The city of Claremont contends that Golden State
didnt engage in a credible, comparative process when
evaluating the value of the system but instead, it calcu-
lated the costs associated with replacing every single
component of the system, incorrectly inflating a poten-
tial purchase price.
This is a skewed, draft study that is silent on the fair
market value of the water system and wasnt prepared
by a certified appraisal expert, said Joe Lyons, mayor
of Claremont.
WATER
WATER VALUE/continues on the next page
Mr. Farrell contends that not only is replacement
value a flawed methodology for analysis, Golden State
hasnt taken a fair look at assets.
T
here are numerous cases
around the country that sup-
port the idea that replace-
ment value is the wrong measure for a
public utilitys assets, since their pipes
run using easements granted on public
and private property for a single pur-
pose, Mr. Farrell said.
Their only real assets are the pumps and tanks they
own, which are paid for totally by ratepayers in sepa-
rate proceedings whereby the company is granted a
guaranteed rate of return on the investment by PUC,
Mr. Farrell said. So technically, the ratepayers already
own those assets since they paid for them as part of
mandatory rates.
Still, it begs the question. Could the Claremont water
system be valued at $222 million?
I cant figure out how theyre figuring it that high,
says La Verne resident Brian Bowcock of the estima-
tion. It has nothing to do with property. Its all-inclu-
sive.
With more than 54 years of experience in the munic-
ipal utility business, Mr. Bowcock knows a thing or
two about water systems. He served as the director of
public works for the city of La Verne before retiring
after 24 years of service.
If the city of La Verne were to sell their water sys-
tem, which has twice as much storage, we couldnt
even come close to that number, even by adding in the
water rights, he says of the $222 million analysis. I
cant think of one water system that has sold for that
much for that size.
For Mr. Farrell, its simply a matter of arithmetic.
The numbers do not lie. [At $222 million], Golden
State alleges the per-connection cost for the Claremont
system is $19,304. This means that for the companys
total 257,000 connections, just the water systems and
supply rights are worth $4.96 billion. Im sure the Los
Angeles County Tax Assessor will be interested in
hearing what Golden State believes their company as-
sets are worth, he said.
Moreover, Mr. Farrell continued, Im sure a Wall
Street corporate raider would be interested in making
an almost $4 billion profit for a $1 billion investment,
buying every share at current market value. For Golden
State to contend that its worth almost five times what
the stock market believes it is worth strains credulity.

Some people just dont learn their les-
son the first time around, and Jeffrey
Bennett is no exception. The 25-year-old
was allegedly driving near Fourth and
College Avenue when he collided with a
curb. According to Lieutenant Mike
Ciszek, a witness spotted Mr. Bennett
exit the vehicle to inspect the damage be-
fore climbing back into the drivers seat.
Suspecting Mr. Bennett was under the
influence, the witness called 911. Offi-
cers arrived around 8:28 p.m. and deter-
mined the Ontario resident was
intoxicated, as well as driving on a sus-
pended license. He was arrested and re-
leased on $5,000 bail. Prior to his arrest,
Mr. Bennett was on probation for DUI.
Wednesday, September 24
A driver with a lead foot was led right
to jail after Claremont police arrested
him for driving under the influence. Jose
Aparicio was driving eastbound on
Foothill Boulevard when an officer
parked on Harvard spotted the 27-year-
old and clocked him on radar going 89
miles per hour in a 40 mile per hour
zone. Mr. Aparicio was immediately
pulled over by police who determined he
was driving under the influence of alco-
hol, with a breath test revealing he was
almost twice the legal limit. The Pomona
resident was arrested for DUI and later
released on $5,000 bail.

A Dominos deliveryman became the
victim of robbery after two suspects
jumped him and made of with his pies.
The victim was delivering pizza on
Ninth and Mills Avenue around 11:45
p.m. when he placed his pizzas on the
hood of his car to use his cell phone.
Thats when the two suspects made their
move. One suspect grabbed the pizzas in
the carrying case and ran away, while the
other suspect attempted to punch the vic-
tim. The suspects made off with one
large pepperoni pizza and one large
sausage and pepperoni pizza totaling $28
and the $150 pizza carrying case.
Thursday, September 25
A man with too much to drink and a
weak bladder was arrested for public in-
toxication and urinating in public. Clare-
mont officers responded to the
Greyhound bus station following a call
of a man urinating in public. The suspect,
Joey Gallegos, identified himself to offi-
cers who determined the Pomona resi-
dent was drunk. Mr. Gallegos was
arrested for public intoxication and trans-
ported to Claremont jail. While in his
cell, the 21-year-old became combative
and uncooperative and officers had to
use force to remove his handcuffs,
adding obstruction and resisting an offi-
cer to his offenses. Mr. Gallegos was
booked and released with a written no-
tice to appear in court.
Friday, September 26
Burglars continue to violate the pri-
vacy of Claremont residents, using any
method necessary to gain entry into their
homes. Between 10:45 p.m. and 11:45
p.m., unknown suspects threw an object
through a bedroom window at a home
located on the 500 block of Sycamore
Avenue. The burglars then reached in
and unlocked the window before climb-
ing in and ransacking the entire house.
The unknown thieves made off with flat
screen televisions valued at $700 and
miscellaneous gold and silver jewelry.
They remain at large.
Saturday, September 27
Blood may be thicker than water, but
it wont keep you out of jail if youre
caught stealing your dads medicinal
marijuana and computer. Officers re-
sponded to a call of a burglary in
progress on the 600 block of south
Mountain Avenue around 8 p.m. Ac-
cording to Lt. Mike Ciszek, suspect
Keonna Harris and her accomplice had
forced entry into her relatives home via
a side-door in the garage that had been
converted into a bedroom. When officers
arrived, the San Bernardino resident was
fleeing the scene with a $2,000 laptop in
hand and approximately $800 worth of
medicinal marijuana. The 22-year-old
was arrested for burglary and receiving
stolen property. She remains in custody
at Century Regional Detention Facility
in Lynwood with a bail set at $50,000.
The second suspect fled through the
backyard and was not located.

City, school district to amp up conservation efforts
L
ast month, a joint meeting be-
tween the Claremont Unified
School District Board of Educa-
tion and the Claremont City Council cen-
tered on ways the city and Claremont
schools can work together to create a
greener town.
At the September 8 meetingheld in the Padua
Room of the Alexander Hughes Community Center
and drawing some 20 attendeesClaremont City
Planner and Sustainability Coordinator Chris Veirs
discussed some of the energy-saving measures under-
taken by the city.
He cited placement of solar panels at the City Yard,
various lighting retrofit projects, the adoption of oc-
cupancy sensors at city facilities and the conversion
of city vehicles from diesel power to natural gas. He
shared that Claremont now boasts four public electri-
cal vehicle-charging stations, whose hourly charging
fees are yielding the city an average of $350 per
month.
In light of the ongoing drought and escalating
water costs, water conservation is another priority.
Mr. Veirs said the city is planning to modernize its
outdated irrigation system. Another emphasis is re-
ducing the amount of turf on city property. For in-
stance, one upcoming project will involve the
replacement of a grass-heavy median in front of
Claremont High School with one that will feature
water-wise plants and that can capture rainwater run-
off for irrigation.
Mr. Veirs also took a moment to detail the citys
commitment to a big-stakes eco-competition: the $5
million Georgetown University Prize (GUP).
Claremont is among 53 communities that have
been selected to move onto the quarterfinals of the
two-year contest, which encourages US cities to
come up with sustainable ways to conserve electricity
and natural gas. The city that wins the prize must not
only find creative ways to shrink its carbon footprint
but also manage to galvanize the entire community in
its efforts.
CUSD Assistant Superintendent of Business Serv-
ices Lisa Shoemaker took to the podium next, sharing
some of the ways the district has been working to
conserve energy and engage students in ecological
sustainability.
In 2009, the district embarked on a 4-year contract
with Cenergistic, an energy management company
whose services included an energy audit of all Clare-
mont school sites as well as the provision of a soft-
ware program tracking energy utilization. Cenergistic
advised CUSD on how to benefit from utilities in-
centive programs and gave suggestions for behavior
modification, with the philosophy being that every lit-
tle bit counts.
The district also hired Ralph Patterson, who before
his retirement was CUSDs assistant superintendent
of business services, as a part-time energy specialist
for Claremont schools. Among other duties, he works
to ensure district staffers are conserving in ways that
once might have been overlooked. For example, re-
frigerators and computer labs should be unplugged
during school breaks and light timers adjusted for
daylight savings.
Mr. Patterson was a natural choice for the hire, Ms.
Shoemaker explained in an interview with the
COURIER on Wednesday.
He knows all of our facilities. He knows all of our
staff and he already knew the school sites, she said.
Under Mr. Pattersons leadership, the district has
participated in Southern California Edisons lighting
retrofit program and, like the city, district buildings
now have lighting sensors.
With the help of Mr. Patterson and eager CUSD
staffers, the collaboration between the district and
Cenergistic has shown some exciting dividends.
In the first year, we saw about a 20 percent reduc-
tion in kilowatt hour usage, Ms. Shoemaker said.
The districts efforts have not gone unnoticed. The
district-wide conservation has led to CUSD being
dubbed an Energy Star partner by the Environmental
Protection Agency.
Claremont schools are also looking for ways to
save water, she noted. Several schools are now using
cyber rain sprinklers, which can be controlled re-
motely and whose watering schedules can be adjusted
based on weather conditions.
Students are also embracing sustainability, Ms.
Shoemaker noted, citing some of the ways the topic is
being woven into CUSD curricula. These include the
biomesfour distinct natural habitatsthat have
been created at Oakmont Outdoor School and which
form a basis for students study of the natural world.
All of the elementary schools are getting involved in
recycling, most notably Vista del Valle, which last
year won the Grades of Green Trash Free Lunch
Challenge and an accompanying $1,000 prize by re-
ducing lunchtime trash by a remarkable 90 percent.
The students did so by using reusable lunch con-
tainers and sorting compostable and recyclable mate-
rials. Oakmont is also a Grades of Green participant
and, this year, Mountain View has taken up the trash-
reduction challenge.
Claremont teens are also getting stoked on living
green, as evinced by a burgeoning environmental club
and the institution of an AP Environmental Science
class at Claremont High School and the popularity of
the Food Justice Program at San Antonio High
School.
Working hand-in-hand
Mayor Joe Lyons spoke next, reiterating the citys
determination to aim high for the Georgetown Uni-
versity Prize.
A large part of the competition involves commu-
nity-wide engagement, he emphasized, with 10 per-
cent stemming from the efforts of local K-12 schools
and colleges. In a prize-winning community, schools
will not only conserve electricity and gas but also
spearhead outreach programs to get CUSD families
and residents at large espousing a less-is-more atti-
tude.
When it comes to energy-efficiency, Mr. Lyons
said the collaboration between the city and the district
is a natural one that, with planning, can lead to cost
savings. He hopes that such cooperative endeavors
can be amplified as Claremont keeps its eye on the
prize.
The citys next step is to complete a detailed plan
for energy-use reduction, to be submitted on Novem-
ber 10.
Georgetown University Prize (GUP) guidelines
note these should be long-term plans, with commit-
ments by residential associations, governments, insti-
tutions or businesses in the community to policies and
projects that will yield continual improvement.
Competitors may also apply for seed grants to help
implement their plans, according to the GUP website.
We see it as a huge opportunity in the city to re-
ally galvanize the town around the entire question of
sustainability, Freeman Allen, chair of Sustainable
Claremont said. Were going to be reaching out very
soonprobably in the next two weeksto the top
leadership at the schools, from the superintendent to
the board. We are really hoping for a full engagement
throughout the school district coming from the top.
Sustainable Claremont is creating a committee
whose focus is for the Georgetown University Prize.
The group will have an executive committee as well
as a board of advisers. Anyone interested in serving
on the advisory board, whether they be a representa-
tive from the school district, the Claremont Colleges,
the business community or the community as a
whole, should email Mr. Allen at info@sustainable
claremont.org.
Mr. Allen said that the group plans to organize a
forum through which people, including students, can
share their ideas for conservation and education.
While I certainly want to encourage the use of re-
cycling, that is not the specific focus of this competi-
tion. This prize specifically centers around energy
efficiency within residences and municipal build-
ings, he said.
The competition represents an exciting opportunity,
according to Devon Hartmon, executive director of
the Claremont Home Energy Retrofit (CHERP) com-
mittee.
Georgetown University has nailed it in terms of
what we need to do to address the final existing hur-
dles to massive energy efficiency throughout the
city, he said. This focus will shine the light on and
hopefully help cities across the country solve this ed-
ucation and awareness problem that is keeping us
from getting energy efficiency retrofits of buildings to
scale.
Students can make a big difference, Mr. Hartman
noted.
Theres a lot that can be done with energy effi-
ciency around kidsvery real activities such as
counting up types of light bulbs and the amount of
wattages in the house and doing some calculation to
see what kind of savings can be gleaned by switching
to new LED bulbs, Mr. Hartman said.
Should the city take the prize, some of that money
will likely go to the school district to fund ongoing
educational initiatives around sustainability, accord-
ing to Mr. Hartman.
CUSD is enthusiastic about cooperating with the
city on this venture, according to school board mem-
ber Steven Llanusa.
Were looking forward to engaging parents and
families in this effort as well as taking additional
steps to increase the energy savings we have already
realized, which are pretty considerable, he said.

Grading construction continues
at Base Line and Towne
G
rading construction at the new
development site at the southeast
corner of Base Line Road and
Towne Avenue continued last week.
With this construction, city staff reports that a
number of questions and concerns have arisen re-
garding the recent watering activities at the site. The
watering of the construction area is necessary to en-
sure that the dust from the grading operation is com-
pletely controlled.
As part of the Federal National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination (NPDES) dust-control requirements, the
ground must be saturated to the anticipated depth of
excavation.
At the Towne and Base Line site, the saturation
process took place between Thursday, September 18
and Wednesday, September 24, as the sprinkler de-
vices were moved to different areas within the site.
The site saturation process has been completed, and
the sprinkler system has been removed. Future dust
control activities will be completed through the use of
water trucks for localized dust control.
If residents have questions or concerns regarding
the construction, contact the citys engineering de-
partment at (909) 399-5465.
T
he finger-snapping was new to me.
I have seen a lot of twinkling,
when people raise their hands and
wriggle their fingers in approval. I have
seen people repeat in unison what a
speaker says to make sure it is heard by
all. But I had not seen an audience, or part
of an audience, snapping during a speech.
A friend told me it isnt new. He said that it was
common at readings and gatherings during the period
of the Beat poets. He also mentioned that it was in the
same spirit as the human microphone, the audience
repeating what the speaker says, which was often seen
during the Occupy movement.
But there was something new about the snapping,
something avant-garde. This was something different,
something that was a change. I wont say it was omi-
nous or scary, but it was edgy.
Indeed, something was on edge that evening a few
weeks ago at the Athenaeum at Claremont McKenna
College. Janet Mock was the featured after-dinner
speaker. Ms. Mockemphasis on the Ms., thanksis
a transgender woman, a woman who was born in a
male body. This is a concept many people have a hard
time getting their heads aroundnot unlike, say,
same-sex marriage five or 10 years ago. The author of
a memoir, Redefining Realness: My Path to Wom-
anhood, Identity, Love and So Much More, has
spent years speaking out in an effort to help people to
understand it.
Perhaps her claim to fame most recently is respond-
ing to an interviewer on television who asked why she
changed from male to female by saying, no, she
didnt change, she was always female and was stuck
in a male body. It isnt easy to stand up like this,
speaking truth to power, so to say, and being African-
American and Hawaiian doesnt, I suspect, make it
any less of a challenge.
So she came to the Athenaeum in the early days of
the new semester with a strong, definite message: She
was in conversation with Carol Williams, an associate
professor of chemistry at CMC who is also a trans-
gender woman. It was clearly a message that many
people at the Colleges wanted to hear and many oth-
ers at the Colleges needed to or should hear.
One question during the Q & Atellingly, in an
unusual if not unprecedented practice at the
Athenaeum, anonymous questions written on cards
were accepted if one was more comfortable doing
sohad to do with whether a womens college
should accept women who were born in a male body.
I had the sense that audience members who were
snapping were, like Ms. Mock indicated in her re-
sponse, tired of questions like this having to be asked.
It is understandable that they are fed up and impa-
tient, even angry. I have heard plenty of these ques-
tions on some painful and wrenching occasions in the
gay community. There are also groups, such as the
Rad Fems, who are adamant that a woman isnt a
woman unless she was born a woman. This, of
course, is on top of the general bias in society, with
many people having trouble getting their heads
around the idea of someone being trapped with the
wrong gender. There was almost a measureone that
would be highly divisive and hurtfulon the upcom-
ing state ballot to repeal the new law allowing people
to use the public restroom that they feel is appropri-
ate.
This was indeed a brave way to start the year at the
Athenaeum, with a strong message. Just having the
participation of a transgender woman professor teach-
ing chemistry at a college that used to be a mens
schoolClaremont Mens Collegewas remarkable
enough.
But it wasnt that surprising for the Athenaeum.
Yes, it has hosted the likes of Newt Gringich and Mitt
Romney and lots of CEOs, but it has also featured the
drag star RuPaul and AIDS activists, not to mention
Bill Clinton, as well as such head-turning artists as
Bono, Spike Lee and Ken Kesey. It has taken CMC a
long way from its reputation of being a school for
conservative jocks and business majors and has lately
been referred to a daily salon of sorts, providing an
hour of art and culture on campus.
The presence of Ms. Mock and Ms. Williams (em-
phasis, again, on the Ms) wasnt the only sign that
evening that the Athenaeum is continuing this prac-
tice. A new additiona striking, huge paintingall
but dominated the large room. It was full of tumul-
tuous, inky, dark colors and, in sharp contrast, had
two long tubes of bright neon light slashing across it.
The painting made for a bold addition to the room.
As I found out the next evening, when Mary Weather-
ford was in conversation with Robert Faggen, profes-
sor of literature and director of the Gould Center for
Humanistic Studies at CMC, it is very much a bold
addition not only to the room but also the college.
Mary Weatherford is the artist. I had seen her speak
at the Athenaeum in the spring about her work,
praised for its strength and use of neon light, but I had
forgotten that she was going to teach at the college
this fall and that the college had commissioned a
work from her. This mammoth work is the result of
that commission.
As became perfectly apparent during that evening,
the painting came about with the college and Clare-
mont in mind. The tumbling and swirling blues and
browns show the sweep from the rocky slopes of Mt.
Baldy to the crashing waves of the Pacific Ocean.
This wide-ranging landscape is rough and wild, al-
most violent, full of obstructive rocks and brambles
but, as evident with the bright lights, it has been
tamed, if not civilized, with industry, commerce, cul-
ture and, yes, education. Or perhaps they just coexist.
This artwork is exciting and monumental, reflect-
ing the Athenaeum, along with the mission and also
the challenges and changes going on at CMC and the
other colleges here. It was no surprise the next week
when Anis Mojgani, the poetry slam champion, was
at the Athenaeum saying he would blow your mind
and doing exactly that.

Tired of erroneous assertions
Dear Editor:
I really do wish that Measure W oppo-
nents would get around to conducting a
thoughtful engagement of issues based
on facts, as they told the rest of us to do.
Last week, we had a letter and a view-
point filled with erroneous assertions
about costs, administration and mainte-
nance, pretty much toeing the Golden
State line as set forth in Rodney Smiths
seriously biased letter. And theyve added
a new red herring about Davis-Bacon
wage laws. These apply to federally-
funded projects and wouldnt apply to
maintenance anyway. Wed pay the same
wages for work as do surrounding com-
munities that own their own water sys-
tems and who still manage to have much
lower water rates.
Please, please, pleasewill those who
oppose Measure W spend a little time
looking at the facts? You can see a de-
tailed rebuttal of Mr. Smiths assertions by
economist Andrew Winnick on the Clare-
mont FLOW website.
If you can find something actually un-
true in the information available from the
city or Claremont FLOW, wed like to
know so we can correct it. We are doing
our best to be accurate. Please stop wish-
ing the facts were other than they are. Bite
the bullet and admit itthe facts are
clearly saying Buy the water system!
Vote yes on Measure W.

Water for the public
Dear Editor:
It is amazing to me that a professor of
economics does not know the difference
between a tax and a revenue bond. Rod-
ney Smiths letter, sponsored and paid for
by Golden State, proposes a no vote on
the water tax. There is no water tax on the
ballot. Measure W is a revenue bond,
which will be repaid by savings in water
system costs and by the water users.
The letter, sent to all of Claremonts
registered voters, indicates that the water
company is going to cost upwards of $200
million; however, a consultant for the city
evaluated the company to be worth $55
million.How does a $55 million system
all of a sudden escalate more than three -
and-a-half times its value?
Golden States parent company, Amer-
ican States Water Company, asserts in its
mission statement that it is committed to
maximizing shareholder value through a
combination of capital appreciation and
cash dividends. In other words, their mis-
sion is to make money from us; service is
mentioned second.
Throwing scare tactic aften scare tac-
tic, Mr. Smith refers to the water main
break in Los Angeles, suggesting that it
will happen here and cost as much to re-
pair. First of all, our system is smaller, less
complex and (most likely) younger. Sec-
ond, Golden State has told us over and
over again how well they (and they alone)
have taken care of the system. Third, it
doesnt matter who owns the system, the
users will pay for the repairs. Golden State
will pass those costs on to us and add on
their profit.
When we purchase the water system,
there will be no broker selling us water
from our aquifer, and we can develop
ways to reclaim and reuse water without
giving it back to Golden State and buying
it again. Well water is one-fifth of the cost
of imported water. When comparing our
costs to La Verne, we have not yet figured
in the savings from using well water. We
receive 50 percent or more of our water
from local sources, whereas, La Verne im-
ports two-thirds of theirs. Also there will
be no WRAM charges to make up for lost
profits when we conserve.
There is no logical reason not to own
our water system unless, of course, you
own stock in Golden State and are afraid
of losing a gold mine. I suggest that
those who do sell their stock and invest in
local revenue bonds that will be available
soon. As it has been so well said before:
Water for the public, not for profit.

Democratic Club urges yes
vote on Measure W
Dear Editor:
The following resolution was passed
unanimously at the meeting of the Dem-
ocratic Club of Claremont on September
29, 2014:
Whereas it has become clear that local
control of our water infrastructure will be
of great benefit to the citizens of Clare-
mont and can be accomplished without
any economic harm, be it resolved that the
Democratic Club of Claremont strongly
urges that voters approve Measure W on
the November 4 ballot.
Gar Byrum
President
Democratic Club of Claremont
Trust in the city council
Dear Editor:
In last weeks COURIER, a reader
wrote a what-if letter opposing Meas-
ure W by suggesting that if the city of
Claremont controls the water district, it
would be incapable of operating it in ac-
cord with our best interests.
The writer cites as examples of the
citys ineptness, the trial roundabout at
Bonita and Indian Hill about 12 years ago
and the recent parking debacle at the
Mills entrance to the Wilderness Park.
I strongly disagree with the writer. In
fact, these examples demonstrate why we
should support Measure W. While the city
makes mistakes, so do large corporations.
But this council and past councils have
been hypersensitive to our wants and
needs. If they act against our best inter-
ests, they know we will show up at city
hall in force, and they know we can vote
them out of office.
As for the Village roundabout experi-
ment, the city dismantled it when resi-
dents complained. As for parking at the
main entrance to the Wilderness Park, this
spring council members created tempo-
rary permit-parking zones to meet the im-
mediate needs of neighbors, who were
protesting spillover parking on their
streets. Not only did the council quickly
react to solve this short-term problem,
they also voted for a master plan, cur-
rently underway, to develop long-term so-
lutions that balance the needs of all of the
parks stakeholders.
Compare these prompt and effective re-
sponses to the lack of response of the Cal-
ifornia Public Utilities Commission when
local residents have protested water rate
increases. Compare them to the degree of
responsiveness of Golden State Water,
which supplies 225,000 customers in 75
communities across 10 California coun-
ties. Then theres its parent company,
American States Water, which supplies
water in five other states as well. And fi-
nally, consider the likelihood of respon-
siveness to Claremonters needs if a huge
multinational or foreign corporation
should take over American States Water.
The issue is not just water rates. The is-
sues are power, accountability and trust.
We need the power to control our most
vital resource well into the future. With
built-in local accountability and a com-
munity as deeply engaged in civic affairs
as Claremont, I trust the city council and
staff to do the right thing.

READERS COMMENTS
Dear Editor:
Whether its a ring, a home, a photo or
anything else, we all have things that
mean something to ussomething that
feels like a part of us and something that
we feel a part of. For me and all my fellow
Girl Scouts, that is La Casita.
Over 65 years ago, a scout leader from
Claremont decided there needed to be a
place for Girl Scouts to connect with each
other and the world. Along with select
Claremont residents and many Claremont
Girl Scout troops, she raised $6,000 to
build the Claremont Girl Scout cabin.
We all have a goal, something we
would pour our blood, sweat and tears
into to make a reality. For these girls, that
was the creation of La Casita. Over the
course of many years, the loss of much
sleep and the bonding of many amazing
people, La Casita was created and has
stood now for 68 years, and it must stand
as a Claremont Girl Scout cabin for much
longer.
Earlier this year, it was brought to my
troops attention that La Casita may be
sold to create a Girl Scout House in a
place that does not have its own place. La
Casita has given our troop amazing op-
portunities. We are extremely thankful for
the memories La Casita has given us the
chance to look back upon, and we want
that opportunity for all other present and
future scouts.
I must say that we, as Claremont
scouts, are capable of great things. For
seven years, Troop 1094 has bonded,
learned and grown together not only as
friends but as sisters. We have raised-
money and put a lot of hard work into var-
ious causes. We know that we can raise
the necessary funds and contribute the
work needed to build a Girl Scout cabin
for another city. By doing so, we not only
show respect to those who worked ex-
tremely hard all those years ago by sav-
ing their creation, but also by working just
as hard to build something for someone
else.
By taking away La Casita, Girl Scouts
of Greater Los Angeles Council takes
away a part of us. In conclusion, I, and the
rest of Troop 1094, wont rest until an-
other cabin stands in a place where there
is none and La Casita remains ours.
Ruby Berke
Troop 1094, Claremont
Dear Editor:
I have recently found out about the Girl
Scouts of Greater Los Angeles un-final
decision to sell La Casita. I am writing to
bring attention to how wrong a choice I
think this would be.
First of, La Casita has a very pro-
nounced history with Claremont and its
Girl Scouts. Lee Pitzer and his wife
Blanche donated so much of their very
own money to build La Casita. Blanche
was one of the first Girl Scout leaders in
Claremont and to use the Pitzers own
funds to build the place must mean that
the Girl Scout cabin meant a lot to them.
Also, some of the Girls Scouts at that
time, girls my age, actually helped build
La Casita. It was and is a way for young
women to connect and work together.
Second, there are so many memories
from 1947, when it was built, up until
now. My sister Scouts and I have enjoyed
so many amazing experiences at La Ca-
sita. I still remember our first visit in
kindergarten when we made Christmas
cookies with another generation of awe-
some girls who love La Casita.
Last of all, think about the beautiful
wildlife and their habitats that belong in
the area. Every time my troop has come to
La Casita, we have seen large amounts of
deer, birds and rabbits. Taking away La
Casita is taking away a safe environment
for everything that lives there if the land is
sold and developed.
The Pitzers worked very hard to ac-
complish the cabin and if it is not saved,
many generations of Girl Scouts will not
get to experience La Casita, and the envi-
ronment might be wrecked. I hope these
reasons will help Girl Scouts of Greater
Los Angeles not to sell a lifetime of fun
memories, La Casita. Sincerely,
Lucy Chinn
Dear Editor:
La Casita is a beautiful place for the
Girl Scout community. There is wildlife
and habitats that, once taken away, could
destroy the animal families in that area. If
it is sold and destroyed [by development],
something new will take its place and so-
lidify the area and claim its stand and
make the property wildlife-free.
There are the traditional Girl Scout sto-
ries of the pastI had a great time, and
It was so beautiful, I couldnt wait to go
backbut we are also thinking of the fu-
ture. There are so many more sleepovers
and activities to do! A place to make
memories and give it more history. This
place of solitude for us girls cant be taken
away,retired or given up.
An argument could be made that us
girls dont use it much. Think of the
yearscoming close to 70that has held
troop after troop, sleepover after sleep-
over. We dont use it? When my sister was
a girl scout, she had sleepovers there. My
grandmas sister held her Girl Scout troop
activities there. My troop just had an
amazing sleepover there three weeks ago
and we cant wait to figure out our next
activity there. There is history in that
place. There is more for us to do. That is,
if its still there.
We ask Girl Scouts of Greater Los An-
geles dont take away a place where fun,
happiness and memories can thrive. We
can fundraise and walk together to create
what we need to buy a scout house for
Girls Scouts in other areas who need a
place like La Casita. Listen, learn, then
react. Thank you.
Bella Hubbard
Dear Editor:
I am a Claremont Girl Scout. I have lots
of history here. La Casita is one of those
places. It was built in 1947 and the Clare-
mont Girl Scouts helped with this. They
raised the money by putting ads in the
newspapers and by helping a lady sell her
furniture. All together, they raised over
$6,000. Claremont Girl Scouts our age
dug the steps leading up to the building.
Does the Girl Scouts of Greater Los An-
geles council think it would be right to
retire and tear down something that has
so much history to Girl Scouts and Clare-
mont? No, its not!
What is the motive to sell La Casita?
To build a place in another city? Have a
fundraiser. To build houses? Theres no
room, since its right near the Wilderness
trails. When my troop went up there last
weekend, I had an amazing time. Its a
perfect location for Girl Scouts to get a
taste of the wilderness without going into
the isolated mountains. We have created
so many memories and I want other
troops to have the same amazing experi-
ences. Sincerely,
Emily Pocock
Dear Editor:
I was a Girl Scout from ages 5 through
12. I am now 21 and have very happy
memories of my time as a Girl Scout.
Growing up in Claremont, most of my
Girl Scout memories took place at La Ca-
sita. I was extremely sad to hear that the
property might be sold and that present
and future Girl Scouts would not get to
experience doing activities in and around
this cozy, historical cabin and the beauti-
ful nature that surrounds it.
When I was in third grade, I attended
my first overnight camp at La Casita, a
wonderful and memorable experience. I
enjoyed meeting other Girl Scouts from
Claremont and remember making fun
crafts while learning about nature and ex-
ploring the area around the cabin.
La Casita also served as the place for
our weekly troop meetings when we
could no longer hold them at our school
building. Finally, when working to earn
my Bronze Award, two of my fellow
troop members and I used the La Casita
cabin to work with and help a troop of
Brownies to earn a new Try-it.
I would love to see La Casita remain in
the Girl Scout family for future genera-
tions of girls to enjoy. This historic cabin
and the environment around it offer so
much for girls of all ages to explore, learn
and make memories. It would be a shame
to see this wonderful place sold and used
for purposes other than within the Girl
Scout community. Thank you,
Samantha Rago
Claremont
Girl Scout from 1998-2005
Dear Editor:
Hello. My name is Lily and I am in
Troop 5364. Me and my fellow Girl
Scouts have had many fond memories at
La Casita and we hope the Girl Scouts of
Greater Los Angeles council will recon-
sider selling it. So many future Girl Scouts
will have the time of their lives there
toasting smores, singing by the campfire,
and having slumber parties and camping
trips.
Seventy years ago, Girl Scouts spent so
much time raising money to build it so all
the Girl Scouts of Claremont could al-
ways have a scout house. I have been
going there for as long as I can remember.
Its a big part of my and Claremonts his-
tory. Many girls before me had a memo-
rable time there, as should many girls after
me. I hope the Girls Scouts of Greater Los
Angeles wont take this away from us and
will reconsider their decision that is af-
fecting so many young Girl Scouts.

Claremont Girl Scouts advocate to save La Casita
All the presidents homes
by John Neiuber
C
laremont is home to a unique un-
dertaking in American higher edu-
cation, with seven autonomous
institutions sharing resources in an al-
liance dubbed, The Oxford of the West.
For the first time, the home of every current presi-
dent of The Claremont Colleges will be opened to the
public for Claremont Heritages 32nd annual Home
Tour on Sunday, October 12. Although the neighboring
university is not one of the Claremont Colleges, the
University of La Verne presidents home, also in Clare-
mont, will be opened for a special Friday night recep-
tion and tour that will kick-off Home Tour Weekend.
Of the homes, just over half were built to function in
the dual private/public role of a college presidents
home. Those are Pomona, Scripps, Harvey Mudd and
Keck. At 114 years old, Pomonas presidents home is
the oldest purpose-built presidents home still in use in
California. The others represent homes that were cho-
sen by the institution to house their president.
The Colleges were founded in different decades over
more than a century. The homes reflect the era or the
personalities of the institutions they represent. The pres-
idents homes encompass a wide range of styles.
Pomona College, founded 1887
The President's House
The classic American Foursquare home has the dis-
tinction of being the oldest presidential residence still in
use at any college or university in California. Architect
Carroll H. Brown designed the house in 1900 at a total
building cost of $5,280. Brown also was responsible for
some of the grandest homes in Victorian Los Angeles
and many notable office and educational buildings.
Claremont Graduate University, founded 1925
The Presidents House
In 1928, Ela Sugg sold the house originally on this
property and embarked on a plan to build an impressive
mansion on the site. The original wooden house was
moved to the southwest corner of Spring and Green
Streets where it stands today. Miss Sugg contracted with
architect Helen Wren of Pasadena and contractor Arthur
Littlejohn in 1928 to build the two-story, almost 7,000-
square-foot house in the Georgian style that was com-
pleted in 1931.
Scripps College, founded 1926
Revelle House
The college's namesake, Ellen Browning Scripps,
wanted a campus of simplicity and beauty. With this
guiding thought, Gordon Kaufmann was selected as the
architect for the Scripps College campus. The home is
the only building on campus from the 1926 through
1939 period that was not designed in the Mediterranean
Revival style. Built in the Regency Revival style in
1939, it is a formal design with a tall, simple rectangu-
lar main building and lower wings that form a private
patio in the rear.
Claremont McKenna College, founded 1946
The Presidents House
Built in 1903, this Craftsman-style home displays the
strong lines of well-known Los Angeles architect,
Arthur Benton, who was responsible for the design of
this home as well as several others in town. Benton was
also the architect of the old Claremont Inn that once
stood at the corner of Bonita and College, before being
demolished in the late 1960s. He is probably best
known for the Mission Inn in Riverside.
Harvey Mudd College, founded 1955
The Garrett House
Built in 1959 to house Harvey Mudds president,
Garrett House, is a large home with a broad low-pitched
hipped roofline that reflects mid-century Ranch and
Modern architectural trends. The home is elegantly un-
derstated and well designed for entertaining, opening
up at the back of the house into a private, walled garden
perfectly scaled for large functions. The 3,000-square-
foot Contemporary Style Ranch home has housed four
of Harvey Mudds five presidents.
Pitzer College, founded 1963
The President's House
This Colonial Dutch Revival house that was built in
1919 looks much as it did when it was built, displaying
traditional elements of the style. It appears to be little al-
tered since it was built. However, the homes current
configuration reflects a concerted restoration effort on
the part of Pitzer College. Inappropriate additions and
alterations that date back to within a few years of the
home's construction were removed and redesigned.
Keck Graduate Institute of Applied Life Sciences,
founded 1999, The Schuster/Wessler Residence
It is appropriate that the most recently-built college
presidents home also houses the president of the latest
addition to the Claremont University Consortium, Keck
Graduate Institute. Designed to blend-in with the mid-
century hillside neighborhood of Claraboya, the 3,100-
square-foot home, built in 2012, might best be de-
scribed as Contemporary Modern. Its overall clean hor-
izontal lines, flat roof, large expanses of glass that take
full advantage of the expansive views and open floor-
plan tie it to the traditions of the best designs of the
Modern Era. At the back of the house, 11-foot-high
floor-to-ceiling stacking/sliding doors open up the in-
terior space seamlessly to the outdoor space.
La Verne University, founded 1891
University House
At 6,645 square feet, this home, designed in the
Prairie style, is still one of the largest in the Claremont
Village. It was built in 1922 by an important figure in
the early history of Claremont and the colleges, David
Crookshank, a local contractor, businessman, and
prominent citrus grower, who financed the construction
of Pomona Colleges Crookshank Hall.
Often referred to as the Wizard of Oz House, this
large and elegant house was not home to L. Frank
Baum, author of The Wizard of Oz. Baum, in fact, died
in 1919; however, Robert Stanton Baum, his son, pur-
chased the home in 1940, and lived and managed the
L. Frank Baum Foundation from the home until his
death in 1955.
The 2014 Home Tour Weekend kicks-off on Friday,
October 10 with a special reception at the home of the
president of the University of La Verne, from 5:30 to 8
p.m. On Saturday, October 11, it continues with an Ar-
chitecture Walking Tour, from 10 am to noon, and the
Home Tour takes place on Sunday, October 12, from
10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For further information, visit

OBITUARIES
Aldo Casanova
Noted sculptor, influential professor, beloved father and grandfather
OBITUARIES
Aldo Casanova, a renowned sculptor
and longtime Claremont resident, died
on September 10, 2014. He was 85.
He was born in San Francisco on Feb-
ruary 8, 1929 to Italian immigrants Tere-
sa and Felice Felix Casanova of Luc-
ca. Felix came halfway across the world
with no English and no money and be-
came the head waiter at the Westin St.
Francis Hotel. Felix and Aldo shared a
great love of working with their hands.
As a child, Aldo was allowed to be a
part of his fathers workspace, using the
tools there to chisel creations out of
Ivory soap and wood. In elementary
school, he earned his first public acco-
lade for a model he made of the 1939
San Francisco Worlds Fair. He planned
to pursue chemistry, but a high school
counselor encouraged him to cultivate
his artistic talent instead. With his par-
ents blessing, he studied art at San Fran-
cisco State University, earning a bache-
lors and masters degree, and went on
to earn a PhD at Ohio State University.
The elder Mr. Casanova, who never re-
ceived a formal education, was so proud
of his sons academic achievements that
in letters to his son, he always addressed
Aldo as Dr. Casanova.
During college, because bronze was
so expensive and because there wasnt a
foundry nearby, Aldo confined himself
to wood, marble and plaster. Not long
after accepting a professorship at Anti-
och College in Ohio, however, he ap-
plied for the Prix-de-Rome, winning the
prestigious scholarship, which yielded
an all-expenses-paid three-year residen-
cy at the American Academy in Rome.
This widened his horizons considerably.
There was bronze everywhere and three
good foundries and so, following the ex-
ample of fellow Prix-de-Rome winners,
Mr. Casanova began working with what
would become his primary medium.
Si vive bene a Roma! was a phrase
Aldo said often, his daughter Anabella
recalls, and boy did he. Speaking his na-
tive language, exposed to legendary art-
work and working side-by-side with the
most talented artists in the world, he
could not have felt more at home. He
was taking flight.
He had this theory about why all of
the really great art came out of Italy and
Greece, his daughter Anabella said.
He said that the light in Italy and
Greece is so beautiful that a pile of rocks
looks like a sculpture. You are com-
pelled to carve it to see what exists in-
side, what you can pull out of it.
Mr. Casanova returned to the United
States, called back by multiple offers to
teach, something he had always loved to
do. He finally settled in California where
he was offered a position he could not
refuse: a tenured professorship at
Scripps College, where he stayed for 35
years, beginning in 1966.
I would have paid to be there! his
daughters recall him joking. I could not
have been happier to be at Scripps.
We were encouraged to develop in
our fields as an integral part of our
commitment to the school, Mr.
Casanova said in a Scripps College arti-
cle. I went to the studio in much the
same manner as a research scientist
went to his lab. I felt anything and
everything was possible, and this gener-
ated the excitement which continually
drew me to my studio.
Many of Mr. Casanovas students
went on to become prominent artists, in-
cluding sculptors Armine Chahbazian,
Amy Ellingson, Judith Davies and Eliza-
beth Turk. Kirk Delman, registrar and
collections manager for Scripps Ruth
Chandler Williamson Gallery, is one of
the many artists who, as a studet at
Claremont Graduate School, benefited
from Dr. Casanovas mentorship.
I love the way he handled the materi-
al. I loved how he interpreted natural
form into his own personal kind of vo-
cabulary, Mr. Delman said. He was a
product of his time but not unaware of
where art was moving. He was happy to
talk to you on all subjectson the sculp-
ture you were doing, works you had
seen at exhibitions, books you were
reading, music you were listening to. He
was well-versed in art history, and in the
use of many materials, which proved
very helpful for many of us who were
not necessarily carving stone or casting
bronze, but using other things.
Mr. Casanova, who retired from
Scripps in 1999, was elected to the Na-
tional Academy of Design in 1992. In
1994, he was ushered in as a fellow of
the National Sculpture Society.
A 2003 Williamson Gallery exhibit,
Aldo Casanova: A Retrospective,
highlighted 44 sculpturesanimals,
people, abstractswhich represent a
small portion of the sculptors body of
work. A Scripps College bulletin quoted
Mr. Casanova as aspiring to be the
Johnny Appleseed of sculpture, leaving
bronzes instead of trees.
He succeeded.
His work is everywhere from UCLAs
Franklin D. Murphy Sculpture Garden,
alongside Henry Moore and August
Rodin, to the Whitney Museum in New
York City. Locally, the Claremont Muse-
um of Art is the proud owner of an ab-
stract sculpture called Torso I (1963);
a mushroom and another large-scale
bronze abstract called Genesis reside
at the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Gar-
den. Juncture, a 1965 bronze piece
that is simultaneously organic and
columnar in appearance, rests on the
Scripps College campus.Another local
treasure, Mr. Casanovas emblem series
of the 1970s, can be seen on the facade
of the WM Keck Science Center of the
Claremont Colleges.
Of Aldos work shown at the Hunt-
ington Library, Jessica Smith, curator of
the American Galleries, said, The
sculpture has a wonderful sense of dy-
namism, of movement, and a great ro-
bust energy about it that really makes it
hold its space in the gallery. And Mr.
Casanova was so lively. What a bright,
ebullient spirit!
His enthusiasm and sense of humor
was celebrated by friends, colleagues
and family alike. In 1975, he adopted
two beautiful girls from Seoul, South
Korea, Aviva and Liana, with his first
wife Joan.
Aviva recalls him as the life of the
party. As an orphan from Korea, I had
no frame of reference for what funny
was, but my dad instilled a sense of hu-
mor in me, for which I will be eternally
grateful, she said. He was always
telling jokes and charming everyone
around him. I remember thinking if he
hadnt been an artist he could have been
a comedian.
Scripps College professor emeritus,
COURIER cartoonist and Aldos long-
time friend Paul Darrow said, Aldo was
fun to be around. He remembers most
fondly the sculptors loud, high laugh.
His daughter Anabella also recalls the
laughter. Whenever I was lost at a party
or gallery show, I could always stop and
listen. My fathers laugh was so loud
and resounding, I could always triangu-
late where he was from his laughter.
Mr. Casanova was 55 when he and his
second wife Judy welcomed Anabella.
Im so grateful to him for all the
amazing things he exposed me to, said
Anabella, an actress and filmmaker.
He showed me Marlon Brando, Cary
Grant, Abbot and Costello, Charlie
Chaplin, Fred Astaire. And jazz: he
gave me a great appreciation for mu-
sic.
Mr. Casanova spent the last nearly 20
years with retired educator Jill Fulton.
The pair met when they were intro-
duced by mutual friends and soon be-
came companions. Life was never dull
with Aldo, according to Ms. Fulton.
He was a music expert on many
levels. He loved classical jazz and we
had season tickets to the Philharmon-
ic, she said. He played guitar and the
ukulele.Aldo was one of those Renais-
sance men. He could do everything. He
was very handy. He could build any-
thing.
He was not only a joy but an inspira-
tion to many. He encouraged his stu-
dents and colleagues, but maybe most
importantly he inspired his family.
Having admired his sons talent and
success, his father Felix took up paint-
ing in his retirement, showing a real tal-
ent and an excellent sense of color.
Aldos 5-year-old granddaughter An-
nalise has also recently discovered her
own artistic talent. In Avivas last con-
versation with her father, she told him
that her daughter has begun introducing
herself as Annalise, the artist. He can
have no better legacy than that.
Mr. Casanova is survived by three
daughters, Anabella, Aviva and Liana
Casanova, his son-in-law, Orlando
Aguilar, and granddaughter, Annalise.
He also is survived by Jill Fulton, his
longtime companion in Claremont, her
daughter and son-in-law, Elizabeth and
Corey Schmidt of Glendale, and their
three children, Evan, Claire and Sam.
A Requiem Mass for Mr. Casanova
will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Oc-
tober 18 at St. Pauls Episcopal Church,
242 E. Alvarado St., Pomona.
A Celebration of Life will be held at
4 p.m. on Sunday, October 19 in Bixby
Court at Scripps College.

Jack Quinlan
Pomona College professor, administrator
OBITUARIES
John Jack Edward Quinlan, a long-
time Pomona College professor and ad-
ministrator, died on September 22, 2014
at his home at the Claremont Manor at the
age of 84. Well loved for his unrelenting
sense of humor, lifelong friendships and
devotion to family, he will be missed by
those he left behind.
Dr. Quinlan was born on August 6,
1930 to Alice E. Nield and Edward J.
Quinlan of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Along
with his younger sister Eileen, Jack was
raised, in large part, by their beloved
grandmother Ida Clara Schwanabeck
Nield. Grandma Nield had immigrated
to the United States from Neustettin, Ger-
many at the age of 13, never to see her
family of origin again. She shared with
Jack and Eileen the wisdom of her
decades as a domestic worker. Though he
was raised a devout Catholic, Dr. Quinlan
was taught by his grandmother to appre-
ciate the truth in one of her favorite apho-
risms, theres good and bad in all
religions.
Milwaukees proud history of Socialist
mayors, along with his familys union
background, contributed to Dr. Quinlans
respect for equality and workers rights.
From an early age, he developed a keen
sense of compassion for those facing
poverty and injustice. He would later re-
count a scene from the movie Mrs.
Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch, which
came out when he was 12. He was
brought to tears when Mrs. Wiggs gra-
ciously stretched her familys meager
meal by adding a little water to the soup
so that a visitor could join them for dinner.
Jack and his sister spent summers on an
uncles nearby farm and attended public
schools in the Bay View area of Milwau-
kee. An exceptional student, Jack was
awarded a coveted Pepsi-Cola scholarship
that covered full tuition at the school of
his choice. While most of the Pepsi schol-
ars chose to go to Ivy League schools, he
selected Marquette University and com-
muted from his family home by streetcar.
For the rest of his life, Dr. Quinlan devot-
edly drank a daily can of Pepsi, a habit he
insisted was the key to a long, healthy life.
Dr. Quinlan met his lifelong partner
Mili in 1956 while they were both in grad-
uate school in Madison. A mutual friend
brought them together on their first date,
sailing on Lake Mendota. Though diffi-
cult to believe, the story goes that Jack
failed to notice that Mili was wearing a
full body-cast under her bathing suit, hav-
ing recently broken her back in a fall from
a horse. Had Jack dumped the boat, as he
had previouslyand spectacularlyin
front of a grandstand of cheering onlook-
ers as he raced to dock before a fast-ap-
proaching storm, the Quinlan legacy
might have been cut short right there. But
as luck would have it, the couple survived
to marry, and three daughters followed.
Immediately after graduate school, they
moved to Claremont to begin Jacks ca-
reer at Pomona College.
As the Quinlan family grew, so too did
their menagerie of pets16 different
species over the course of their time in
Claremont. A magical yearlong sabbati-
cal in Yorkshire, England gave them an
opportunity to experience rural life, and
they fed their love of the outdoors with
frequent visits to the snowy slopes of
Halona Lodge in Idylwild and summer
trips to Inverness, Point Reyes in north-
ern California, usually in the company of
the Williams family and other close
friends from McAlister Center. Jack and
Mili also enjoyed many backpacking and
horse-packing trips in the Sierras with
friends from the colleges. These rural out-
ings made a deep and lasting impression
on the children and, by extension, the
grandchildren, most of whom have grav-
itated to live in the countryside.
Dr. Quinlan spent his entire 40-year
professional life at Pomona College, but
in three very different careers. After earn-
ing a bachelors degree from Marquette
University, a masters degree from the
University of Arkansas, Fayetville and a
PhD in physical chemistry from the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin, Madison, he joined
the Pomona College faculty as a sabbati-
cal replacement in 1958. He spent the next
11 years as a professor of physical chem-
istry, though over the years he taught al-
most every course in the department
except organic chemistry. Dr. Quinlan de-
lighted in the chemistry departments long
tradition of practical jokes. From time to
time, he or a colleague would come to
work, only to find that their office was
completely empty, but for a gerbil or two.
In revenge, another faculty members of-
fice chair might be replaced with a toilet
seat bolted to the floor, or a trip wire that
set off the sprinkler system when they en-
tered the room.
In 1969, Dr. Quinlan agreed to head the
Admissions Office during the turbulent
era of the American civil rights move-
ment. One of the reasons I started to do
admissions work was that, as a faculty
member, I felt that much of the virtue of
the institution was in the quality and di-
versity of the students, he said in a 1999
interview on the occasion of his retire-
ment. During his 11-year tenure as dean
of admissions, he led the college in ex-
panding its recruiting of under-repre-
sented groups and building a more diverse
student body.
Dr. Quinlan never abandoned his love
of chemistry. In 1972, he was appointed
by LA County Supervisor Frank Bonelli
to serve on the Scientific Committee that
made recommendations to the Air Pollu-
tion Control Board, a two-year assign-
ment to which he was reappointed several
times. Those who remember the air pol-
lution that blanketed this area in the 60s
and 70s understand the impact of this
regulatory process on the quality of life in
the LA basin. The beautiful views of the
mountains that we now enjoy are thanks,
in large part, to their efforts
While serving as dean of admissions,
Dr. Quinlan taught himself to program a
mainframe computer in order to comput-
erize the admissions process and discov-
ered a new love. He was once quoted as
saying, Computer programming is like
being paid to do crossword puzzles.
After returning to the faculty in 1980, he
was asked once again to take on this chal-
lenging administrative task and, in 1983,
he became director of administrative
computing. He served in this position for
16 years, remaining active as a consultant
for the college on computing issues after
his retirement.
After the children were grown, Quin-
lan family reunions were very important
to Dr. Quinlan. Year after year, the family
gathered for Thanksgivingusually at
Susans in Berkeleyand in August, at
Erins mountain homestead in northern
California or at Megans partner Mals
southern Oregon home. Jack made sure
these gatherings happened and, without
fail, provided several batches of his spe-
cial chocolate chip cookies. He always
gave thanks that the family could spend
time together, allowing the grandchildren
to grow up knowing each other, even
though they lived far apart.
Dr. Quinlan had taken up track and
field in high school and continued to run
well into his 70s. After seeing a picture of
young Jack finishing first in a Milwaukee
city track meet, his daughter Susan spent
her childhood under the illusion that her
father was the fastest man in the world.
Sadly, this notion was eventually dis-
carded. Nevertheless, during his later
years at Pomona College, Dr. Quinlan
was a proud member of the Geriatric
Track Club and sported a T-shirt that
showed a logo of a winged crutch and the
slogan No pain, no gain.
Among his other interests, Jack created
beautiful sculptures from driftwood or
madrone, contemplatively working for
hours in silence with gouge and sandpa-
per to follow the natural contours of a par-
ticularly interesting organic shape in a
burl or root.
Dr. Quinlan took what life offered,
never thinking twice about supporting his
family through the challenges that faced
them. In 1989, Mili became mysteriously
ill in what became a 10-year struggle with
environmental illness. She had to leave
her work as an electron microscopist at
Pomona College, and retreat to the clean
ocean air of Stinson Beach where she
slowly recovered her health. Jack held
down the family home while continuing
to work, making monthly visits to spend
time with Mili until she was well enough
to return to Claremont. In 2011, Mili suf-
fered a devastating stroke that left her with
aphasia. Jack selflessly devoted the last
four years of his life to caring for her,
often saying, She took care of me all
these years. Its the least I can do.
A central part of Dr. Quinlans social
life in Claremont revolved around picnic
lunches of Juanitas burritos. Starting with
his time in the admissions department,
Juanitas burritos were frequently the ex-
cuse for gathering friends and colleagues
for a meal in the park. On the day of his
death, the family ordered a round of BRC
(bean, rice and cheese) burritos in Jacks
honor. It seemed only fitting to order one
for him and deliver it to the funeral home
with the instructions that Jack be sent to
his final rest along with his favorite meal.
Jack Quinlan is loved and remembered
by his sister Eileen, his wife Mili, their
three daughters, Susan, Megan and Erin
Quinlan, and by their grandchildren, Bryn
Amber, Owen, Elana, Dylan, Corey, Elsa,
Dana and Colin as well as by a host of
lifelong friends.
Dr. Quinlans life will be celebrated
with a memorial service on Friday, Octo-
ber 10 at 4 p.m. in Pomona Colleges
Mabel Shaw Bridges Hall of Music (150
E. 4th St. in Claremont) with a reception
to follow in the Carolyn Lyon Garden.
There will also be a mass for Dr. Quinlan
at Balch Hall, Scripps College (1030 Co-
lumbia Ave.) on Sunday, October 12 at 10
am. Both are open to the public.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Jacks
honor can be made to BAY-Peace: Better
Alternatives for Youth, Catholic Charities
USA, or Pomona College.

Winifred Winnie Valvo died peace-
fully on September 23, 2014 at age 84.
She led a long, wonderful and blessed
life, family shared, adding, She knew
where she was going and this filled her
with hope and peace.
She was born Winifred Roederer on
October 17, 1929 in Des Moines, Iowa.
She was married for 64 years to the love
of her life, Philip Anthony Valvo, who
survives her today. A love so great pro-
duced eight children: Ann, Philip, Vic-
toria, Lisa, Neal, Jeanne, Jeff and Steve.
Her motherly spirit extended beyond
her family, according to her children:
She was mom to all of our friends
and anyone who needed one. She was a
friend to many. She mastered the gift of
listening to others without judging. She
always had an open-door policy, espe-
cially when it came to our dinner table.
Even though our table was more than
full, if someone stopped by unexpect-
edly she always figured out a way to
thin the soup and make enough. She
taught us so much by the way she lived
and loved and laughed. She wasnt a
worrier. She had faith in God that never
wavered and she had faith in people to
do the right thing. She left a legacy of
love. Its what she did best.
Winnie is survived by her husband
Philip, by her eight children, along with
their spouses, as well as 24 grandchil-
dren and 23 great-grandchildren, all of
who will miss her dearly.

ity officials joined
members of The
Friends of Oak Park
Cemetery on Tuesday for the
grand opening of the Oak Park
Cemetery expansion. The addi-
tion of 600 plots as well as a
columbarium niche to the pub-
licly-owned and operated
cemetery, is just the first step
of the seven-phase expansion
expected to be completed in
the coming years.
Its been a long road to today and
The Friends of Oak Park Cemetery are
happy to see the first phase of the
cemetery expansion, said the groups
first president Mary Ann Barkey.
There were several bumps along the
road to today, but were here to cele-
brate the completion. We thank every-
one who participated in making this
expansion a reality!
Mayor Joe Lyons kicked-off the cele-
bration with a short speech, addressing
the 40 guests in attendance and recog-
nizing those who played an integral
role in seeing the first phase of the
cemeterys exansion come to fruition.
The new expansion and niche wall
has been seamlessly blended into the
existing cemetery and will give more
Claremont families a place to preserve
their memories and provided a serene
spot for reflection, Mayor Lyons said.
The mayor thanked city staff, espe-
cially Director of Community Services
Manager Kathleen Trepa and Manage-
ment Analyst Kristen Turner as well as
The Friends of Oak Park Cemetery for
their tireless efforts to ensure the ceme-
terys expansion met the highest stan-
dards and remained true to the
cemeterys esthetic.
The Friends of Oak Park Cemetery,
an independent, nonprofit organization
formed in 1983 to work with the city of
Claremont to promote and improve the
cemetery, met with the city and RJM
Design Group in 2007 to begin plans
for the expansion. In 2008, the group
presented a comprehensive plan for the
expansion to be done in seven phases
and, after a number of meetings, the
first phase was decided on. A ground-
breaking ceremony was held on March
1, 2012, an event councilman Corey
Calaycay recalls fondly.
As you know when we had the
groundbreaking, my one word to all of
you was Finally and this time, I really
mean it, said Mr. Calaycay. I want to
thank The Friends of Oak Park Ceme-
tery for their persistence and their on-
going efforts to ensure we offer the best
here.
With that said, Mayor Lyons and
Charles Cable grabbed the oversized
scissors and gathered city council, staff
and The Friends of Oak Park Cemetery
as they cut the ceremonial ribbon, sig-

nifying the opening of the additional acre on the north
end of the cemetery.
Oak Park Cemetery has provided a serene and
beautiful resting place for residents of the Pomona
Valley for over a century. Located in a quiet residen-
tial neighborhood between Sycamore and Mills Av-
enue, many of Claremonts early residents such as
Eleanor Condit, Lee Pitzer and Thomas Barrows can
be found resting within the borders of this historical
city landmark.
With acres of mature trees and lush grounds, Oak
Park is known for its quaint and tranquil environment
as well as being one of only a few cemeteries that still
accepts above ground monuments. In addition, the
cemetery offers special benefits for American veter-
ans and interment to members of all faiths.
The expansion of Oak Park Cemetery will provide
an opportunity for Claremont residents, like council-
man Opanyi Nasiali, to call Claremont their home,
not just for now, but for all eternity.
Im glad to see an addition to my home because
my plot and my wifes plot are in the old section,
says Mr. Nasiali, Im glad to see an addition to it so
well have neighbors to be here with us.

Weezer to appear at Rhino
W
eezer fans rejoice: The band will be
stopping by Rhino Records in Clare-
mont at 8 p.m. on Monday, October 6 to
sign copies of their new CD/LP It Will Be All
Right in the End.
It is the ninth album by the hugely popular rock
quartet, which features lead guitarist and vocalist
Rivers Cuomo, drummer Pat Wilson, guitarist
Brian Bell and bassist Scott Shriner.
Weezer formed in Los Angeles in 1992 and burst
onto the scene in 1993 with their self-titled
debutoften called The Blue Albumwhich fea-
tured hits like Buddy Holly and UndoneThe
Sweater Song. The Blue Album and its follow-
up album Pinkerton are often cited as among the
best rock albums of the 1990s.
The bands unique brand of power pop is known
for heavy guitar, hook-centric songs and vocal tap-
estries involving the whole band. In fact, the guys
of Weezer took classes in which they practiced bar-
bershop quartet harmonies in order to perfect their
sound. Its a recipe that has continued to yield top
hits over the years, including Hash Pipe and Is-
land in the Sun (2001), Beverly Hills (2005)
and Pork and Beans (2008)
Everything Will Be Alright in the End, whose
cover features an enormous sasquatch migrating
down a mountain, was produced by hit-maker Ric
Ocasek of the Cars, in his first collaboration with
Weezer since 2001s The Green Album. So far,
the critical response is warm, with Caryn Ganz of
Rolling Stone calling the songs profoundly odd
and reliably catchy, and meaning it in a good way.
You can purchase Weezers latest release at Rhino
Records (235 Yale Ave. in Claremont) on Monday,
which will earn you a wristband providing entry to
the signing. For information, call 626-7774 or visit
Rhino Records Claremont on Facebook.

Through October 19: Monty Pythons Spamalot
tells the story of King Arthur and his quest for the Holy
Grail. With the help of his knights of the round table,
they take us on a merry romp through a forest, all the

October 24 through November 23: Jekyll & Hyde
is based on Robert Louis Stevensons classic story
about a brilliant doctor whose experiments with
human personality create a murderous counterpart.
Convinced the cure for his fathers mental illness lies
in the separation of Mans evil nature from his good,
Jekyll unwittingly unleashes his own dark side,
wreaking havoc in the streets of London as the sav-
age, maniacal Edward Hyde. With an amazing score
by Broadway tunesmith Frank Wildhorn and memo-
rable songs such as This is the Moment, Someone
Like You, and Take Me as I Am, this gothic horror
thriller is sure to send a chill down your spine.

feeling. But with the help of Betty and his employees
(a madcap team of holiday decorating fools) he wont
be a humbug for long. Dont miss this heartwarming
holiday treat; its perfect for family, friends, co-work-
ers, and of course, kids too. As is always the tradition
here at Candlelight Pavilion, Santa and Mama stay
after the performance to meet guests.

33rd annual Village Venture fast-approaching
C
laremont High School girls volleyball is off to a
great start under the leadership of new coach Jodi
Postlmayr. The team has a 7-3 record in non-con-
ference play, including a 3-0 victory over Marantha last
Thursday.
CHS has a big team with 15 players including five sen-
iors and three freshmen. Its a good mix of returners with
new players said Coach Postlmayr. With the league
opener set for Thursday, we will get into serious compe-
tition and we will see how the hard work pays off.
Stand-out players so far this semester include fresh-
man Emilee Rohrer at outside hitter and senior Natalie
Barragan at center.
Ms. Postlmayr has an impressive resume both athleti-
cally and academically. She was an All American vol-
leyball and All Conference softball player at University
of La Verne, where she earned both bachelors and mas-
ters degrees. Since graduation, she has coached volley-
ball at the California Institute of Technology and at the
club level for Club West.
Claremont water polo, ranked number-one in division
five, beat San Marcos High School, ranked number-four
in division two, on Saturday in a non-conference
matchup at CHS.Top performances came from Thomas
Randles, who had three goals, one steal and two assists;
Bruno Snow, who had three goals, one steal and two as-
sists; Johnathon Wong, who had two goals and three as-
sists; Mat Turk, who had one goal, two steals and one
assist; Dylan Clinton, who had one goal and one assist;
Ian Waasdorp, who had one goal; and Dylan Landi, who
had one goal. Goalie Steven Cagle shined as well with 10
saves, two steals and one assist.
The Pack followed up with a decisive win, 8-5, over
rival Damien on Tuesday at Citrus College. Goalie Cagle
had a fantastic game with 15 saves, one steal and two as-
sists. Randles again led the offensive team with three
goals, one steal and one assist; Wong had two goals, two
steals and two assists; and Snow had two goals, one steal
and two assists. Adam Ward had one goal is his first game
back since his hand injury.
The parents and athletes have been playing like win-
ners throughout each game, said Coach Kristin Rod-
griguez. The best part about this group is that they just
want to play. If we are losing, they will take advice from
coaches and other players and give it their all regardless
of the score. They all understand that playing against
good teams will make us better.
Girls tennis had a good day Tuesday, winning their
match against Glendora 10-8. Senior Megan Huang won
all three of her singles games and twins Evelyn and Lelia
Kennedy also won all three games in doubles play. Clare-
mont led after the first round by 5-1, which was a great
advantage, according to coach Clint Rees. The team is
now 1-2 in league play. This is Mr. Rees first year coach-
ing the girls team, but he has been the boys coach for
three years.
Girls golf beat St. Lucys High School, 233-287, at
Marshall Canyon Golf Course on Tuesday.Sophomore
Nicole Curti was the medalist and shot a 40, sopho-
moreAllison Gallegos shot a 42 and sophomore Celine
Mason shot a 45. St. Lucys Miranda Safar shot a 53 and
was their low scorer. The Packs record is now 4-4 in the
Palomares League.
This week, cross country was at the Top Speed Run-
ning Super XC Classic, held on Saturday at Bonelli Re-
gional Park. Coach Rob Lander said that he rested the
top eight boys and top seven girls, but varsity girls still
won the meet and varsity boys placed second. Next up
are the SGV One on One Challenge on Saturday and the
second league meet on Tuesday, October 7.

CHS WEEKLY SPORTS ROUND UP
SPORTS
COURIERphoto/Steven Felschundneff
Katie Chen high fives a teammate during the intro-
duction prior to the Packs varsity tennis game against
Glendora on Tuesday.
S
ometimes history is so large in its
scope that it hardly seems real.
Other times, all you have to do is
look in your own backyard for an up-
close view of the events of the past.
Such was the case with a number of
Claremont McKenna College students
whowith the help of history professor
Wendy Lowerhave curated an exhibit
on view through Sunday, October 12 at the
Honnold/Mudd Librarys Founders Room.
Over There, Over Here features an
array of memorabilia including photo-
graphs, books, posters, sheet music, di-
aries, documentary footage and even
uniforms, most hailing from the Honnolds
centuries-deep Special Collections.
A few of the items come from the col-
lections of Ms. Lower and other CMC pro-
fessors. Most, however, were unearthed in
the archives by students in a class called
The Great War.
When Ms. Lower decided to organize
the exhibit, her aims were modest. She fig-
ured the bulk of the show would center
around her own store of World War I pho-
tographs and postcards, many of which
were collected by her German-born hus-
bands family.
She knows all about archives, being a
historian who has published several books,
the most recent being Hitlers Furies:
German Woman in the Nazi Killing
Fields, a chilling look at female complic-
ity and participation in the Holocaust.
Shes a relatively new CMC hire, though,
and didnt anticipate the Special Collec-
tions sheer number of items hailing from
1914 to 1918.
Anyone in the community, by the way,
can sift through the Special Collections,
provided they follow some guidelines.
There is a photo of the students in the
archives, surrounded by World War I
memorabilia. It is the kind of aha moment
for which the historian lives.
Its thrilling to sift through historical
artifacts in an attempt to explain the world
as it is today, she said.
Once the artifacts were found, it was up
to the students to determine which should
be highlighted. They were also charged
with creating cards describing the displays
and providing broader information on a
global war that claimed 16 million lives.
CMC senior Brian Key, who is pursu-
ing a dual major in government and his-
tory, served as Ms. Lowers right-hand
man, undertaking a paid internship to help
with the job.
I really wanted to see this project come
to fruition, Mr. Key said. What I gained
was learning of the contributions of Clare-
mont to the war. There were dozens of
Pomona College students who fought in
the war.
Some 293 young men from Pomona
College served in the armed forces during
World War I, many on the frontlines of
bloody trench warfare. Five young men,
whose lives were claimed on the battlefield
or by the Spanish flu, didnt come home.
Not all is grim in the exhibit. You can
see the original sheet music for melodic
rallying cries like George M. Cohans
Over There, a tune popular with soldiers
and civilians alike. Song was so effective
in raising support for the war effort that the
government chose not to cut the rations for
printing, Ms. Lower said.
This was the beginning of the hits, she
explained. People had pianos in their
households and would gather round in
singing halls. It was a unifying experi-
ence.
News of the eventual cease-fire was
cause for celebration, a moment detailed
in Pomona Colleges Student Life.
Visitors to the Over There exhibit can
see the front page of the student newspa-
per, printed on November 12, 1918, a day
after peace prevailed.
Monday was a great day at Pomona,
an article noted. The news of the signing
of the armistice in Paris reached Claremont
about three in the morning. About 4
oclock, a group of girls heard of the great
happening and started out to celebrate.
There was a bit of consternation among
the citys older population, the story noted,
after the crowd marched on the streets,
yelling and singing.
Over There also tells the lesser-
known story of the first case of wide-scale,
internationally-coordinated aid campaign.
When Germany invaded Belgium on its
way to France, news spread of the atroci-
ties perpetrated on Belgian citizens, par-
ticularly women and children.
With the help of philanthropists like
Claremont Colleges benefactors William
L. Honnold and Seeley W. Mudd and
under the leadership of Herbert Hoover,
$2.8 billion was raised in the United States
to ship lifesaving supplies to the embattled
population.
Two of the items on view are empty
flour sacks Belgian women embellished
with beautiful needlework, Swiss lace and
crayon-bright embroidery, as thanks.
Creating the exhibit has been a time-in-
tensive but rewarding experience, accord-
ing to Ms. Lower.
I hope that in the end, students really
enjoyed a different kind of classroom ex-
perience.

ment is made pursuant to CA Civil Code Sec-
tion 2923.3(c)(1). The Summary will be
provided to Trustor(s) and/or vested owner(s)
only, pursuant to CA Civil Code Section
2923.3(c)(2).) YOU ARE IN DEFAULT
UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED
02/15/2005. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION
TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY
BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU
NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NA-
TURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST
YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A
LAWYER. NBS Default Services, LLC, as the
duly appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to
the power of sale contained in that certain Deed
of Trust Recorded 02/25/2005 as Document
No.: 05 0431875, of Official Records in the of-
fice of the Recorder of Los Angeles County,
California, executed by: BARBARA A
SHAVER, AN UNMARRIED WOMAN, as
Trustor, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION
TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH
(payable in full at time of sale by cash, a
cashier's check drawn by a state or national
bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit
union, or a check drawn by a state or federal
savings and loan association, savings associa-
tion, or savings bank specified in section 5102
of the Financial Code and authorized to do busi-
ness in this state). All right, title and interest
conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed
of Trust in the property situated in said County
and state, and as more fully described in the
above referenced Deed of Trust. Sale Date and
Time: 10/28/2014 at 09:00 AM Sale Location:
Doubletree Hotel Los Angeles-Norwalk, Vine-
yard Ballroom, 13111 Sycamore Drive, Nor-
walk, CA 90650 The street address and other
common designation, if any, of the real prop-
erty described above is purported to be: 1154
BRIARCROFT ROAD, CLAREMONT, CA
91711 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any
liability for any incorrectness of the street ad-
dress and other common designation, if any,
shown herein. Said sale will be made in an "AS
IS" condition, but without covenant or war-
ranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, pos-
session, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining
principal sum of the note(s) secured by said
Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as pro-
vided in said note(s), advances, if any, under the
terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees,
charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the
trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to-wit:
$419,112.67 (Estimated). Accrued interest and
additional advances, if any, will increase this
figure prior to sale. It is possible that at the time
of sale the opening bid may be less than the
total indebtedness due. NOTICE TO POTEN-
TIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bid-
ding on this property lien, you should
understand that there are risks involved in bid-
ding 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 auto-
matically entitle you to free and clear owner-
ship 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 auc-
tion, you are or may be responsible for paying
off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned
off, before you can receive clear title to the
property. You are encouraged to investigate the
existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens
that may exist on this property by contacting the
county recorder's office or a title insurance com-
pany, 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
mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pur-
suant to Section 2924g of the California Civil
Code. The law requires that information about
trustee sale postponements be made available to
you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not
present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether
your sale date has been postponed, and, if appli-
cable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale
of this property, you may call, 1-800-280-2832
for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit

NOTICE TO POTENTIALBIDDERS: 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 property itself. Placing the
highest bid at a trustee auction does not automat-
ically 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 sen-
ior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can
receive clear title to the property. You are encour-
aged to investigate the existence, priority, and size
of outstanding liens that may exist on this prop-
erty by contacting the county recorders office or
a title insurance company, either of which may
charge you a fee for this information. If you con-
sult 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 post-
poned one or more times by the mortgagee, ben-
eficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section
2924g of the California Civil Code. The law re-
quires that information about trustee sale post-
ponements 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 prop-
erty, you may call (626) 579-5350 or visit this In-
ternet Web site , using the file number assigned
to this case 14-05-790. Information about post-
ponements that are very short in duration or that
occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not
immediately be reflected in the telephone infor-
mation or on the Internet Web site. The best way
to verify postponement information is to attend
the scheduled sale.

The minimum bid for each parcel is the total
amount necessary to redeem, plus costs, as re-
quired by Section 3698.5 of the Revenue and Tax-
ation Code.
Following the public auction, unless redeemed
prior thereto, I will re-offer for sale and sell unim-

If the property is sold, parties of interest, as de-
fined by Section 4675 of the Revenue and Taxa-
tion Code, have a right to file a claim with the
County for any proceeds from the sale, which are
in excess of the liens and costs required to be paid
from the proceeds. If excess proceeds result from
the sale, notice will be given to parties of inter-
est, pursuant to law.
All information concerning redemption, provided
the right to redeem has not previously been ter-
minated, will upon request be furnished by
MARK J. SALADINO, Treasurer and Tax Col-

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