Dear Editor:
I am writing to concur with Mr.
Faulstichs concern about the humancaused bear problem at Padua Hills Theatre. Some citations are in order for the
perpetrators.
In a historical vein, Id like to comment
on our wildlife in an earlier time. Black
bears were, in fact, native to the San
Gabriel Mountains, as were Grizzly
Bears, Bighorn Sheep, Tule Elk, Pronghorn Antelope and Gray Wolves. By the
early 1900s, they were either very rare or
extirpated by commercial hunting and
ranchers who were averse to any predators in the region. The Bighorns were reintroduced as were the Black Bears in the
way Mr. Faulstich described. Neither
species is thriving in their ever more constricted range and their continued presence in our local mountains depends on
our willingness to minimize our impact on
them.
Closing the trash container doesnt
seem like too much to ask, particularly
since doing so is legally required.

A peaceful missive
Dear Editor:
As a Vietnam veteran and a 45-year
participant in the antiwar movement, I
would like to state a goal which I hope we
can all share: May we have future generations that have no veterans, because there
were no wars to create them. The Vietnam, Gulf, Iraq and Afghanistan veterans
I have counseled overwhelmingly support
this philosophy; can we support them?

Their wars didn't end when they returned


home. All of us working together to create
a peaceful society can help them and their
children to put some of the ghosts to rest.
There is no glory in endless war.

Congratulations, Claremont
Dear Editor:
Claremont deserves congratulations!
The 71 percent vote to fund the acquisition of our water system, with a 41 percent voter turnout, is a strong mandate to
move forward. Many opponents also said
they favored local ownership, but were
not convinced the city could manage the
system, or could afford it without sharply
increasing rates.
Fortunately, there are good answers to
these concerns based on common-sense
comparisons. The city of La Verne has
managed a municipal water system very
well for a century and we are negotiating
with them to manage ours. Their water
bills are also much lower than ours, about
$770 per year ($64 per month) on the average. City-wide that amounts to over $8
million each year that could be applied to
the purchaseenough to support all the
$135 million in revenue bonds approved
in Measure W.
An independent appraiser determined
the value of the system to be $55 million.
Golden State Water Company sold a
larger system in 2011 for $34 million.
$135 million should be more than enough.
Approving funding is just the first step
if, even now, Golden State refuses to sell.
Public input is still important as the city

City council tackles sustainability, water issues

ustainability and water


were the hot topics at
Claremonts city council
meeting Wednesday evening,
with residents and
CITY
city staff expressCOUNCIL
ing their concerns
regarding the drought and the
effect it will have on the citys
conservation efforts.
The regularly scheduled Tuesday
night meeting was moved to Wednesday
in observance of the Veterans Day holiday.
In the presence of the entire city council, City Principal Planner Chris Veirs
presented the fifth annual Claremont
Sustainability Report Card, which covers sustainability activities tracked during the 2013 calendar year and includes
an extensive background report to provide supporting information regarding
the basis for each grade. The purpose of
the report card is to gauge progress toward targets indentified in the Claremont
Sustainable City Plan and to make information available to both city officials
and the public.
Overall, were doing a pretty good
job of meeting our goals, declared Mr.
Veirs. In 2013, we have six areas where
were exceeding our goals...doing better
than what the city sustainable plan had
set as the goal. Actually meeting or exceeding or goals is at 85 percent, so we
feel like were doing pretty well.
Of the 33 performance indicators
tracked, six were given an achieved and

exceeds goal rating, 22 are meeting


goal and only five are below/behind
goal. Community water usage received
a below goal grade because of increased water use due to hot and dry
weather conditions. Overall, city staff
believes that the community is responding to drought concerns and that the 30
percent reduction by 2017 goal is still
achievable.
The full document will be posted on
the citys website and copies will be
made available to the public to be picked
up at city facilities.
Also presented before council was the
city staffs recommended strategy to
evaluate municipal landscape and irrigation facilities to reduce water consumption now for immediate savings, and to
indentify irrigation retrofit and landscape
conversion projects that can be implemented in phases for long-term benefits.
Community Services Director Kathleen Trepa presented the information report to city council with a projected 20
percent reduction in city outdoor water
consumption with an estimated
$130,000 in savings.
Despite the savings, costs associated
with replacing the citys antiquated and
inefficient irrigation systems throughout the citys parks could cost hundreds
of thousands of dollars. Two such projects have already been budgeted.
$280,000 was budgeted to install replacement systems at two of the most
problematic parks in the community,
College and Higginbotham parks, explained Ms. Trepa. Water savings, grants
and rebates could partially off-set the remaining costs.

To address immediate water supply


concerns, staff has directed the citys
landscape maintenance contractor to
begin switching the roughly 245 irrigation programs to winter schedules as
well as program an across-the-board reduction of 20 percent to scheduled irrigation times. The contractor will assess
trees and sports fields to ensure these are
not irreparably harmed by irrigation reductions or cause a significant interference with sports play.
Mr. Trepa also stressed that this
change in irrigation will likely result in
turf brown outs and the loss of some
plant materials, particularly in areas of
full sun. The condition of the citys landscape maintenance area will appear to
decline as part of this effort and city
trees are of particular concern as they are
not on separate irrigation systems and
may show some stress as they have become accustomed to supplemental watering schedules. However, staff and
consulting arborists will closely monitor
city trees for signs of decline due to reduced irrigation and modify as necessary
to preserve valuable specimens.
Other suggestions for permanent
water savings include replacing turf in
parkways adjacent to sidewalks as well
as city hall with appropriate alternatives
such as decomposed granite, permeable
hardscape, drought-tolerant landscaping,
or mulch.
Additional suggestiongs include
browning out the slopes at Padua Avenue Park while maintaining adequate irrigation for the playing fields. Or
browning out dog parks which are subject to heavy wear and tear.

It was a special day on Tuesday as the American Legion of Claremont hosted a ceremony on Veterans
Day honoring those who served our country in America's fight for freedom. City officials joined in the
emotional ceremony attended by friends and family of local veterans. The Claremont High School and
El Roble bands played as the Claremont Boy Scout troop 402 raised the American flag during the
event. Claremont resident and World War II veteran Sid Colburn brought his dog Bambie, above, for the
celebration.

Short of the sports fields, I dont


mind losing some of the green turf
around town in light of the reality of the
situation, said Councilman Corey
Calaycay. But I do get a little concerned
in regards to the trees.
Ms. Trepa confirmed it is a delicate
balancing act and that the situation must
be monitored.
Im still trying to understand what
this report is about, said Councilman
Opanyi Nasiali. Is it the intent of the
staff to be proactive about reducing the
amount of water we are using immediately or for the future?
Its both, replied Ms. Trepa. Right
now, weve dialed back our irrigation
and well be looking at additional projects park-by-park.
We live in a desert. Drought or no
drought, we import upwards of 40 percent of our water and that should tell us
were not sustainable, said Mayor Joe
Lyons. We should lead and model what
wed like to see our residents dotake
these opportunities to lead and make the
changes.
There was also some discussion as
proposed by resident Dean McHenry
about tapping into the public a bit more
for their observations and suggestions.
Mr. Calaycay reminded residents that the
city has an app, making it easier for residents to do just that rather than sharing
their disgust on Facebook.
Do make the effort to contact us,
pleaded the councilman. Dont rant on
social media in a negative way, be a part
of the solution. Give us the opportunity
to address the issue. Angela Bailey

Next city energy challenge could be worth $5 million

ow much more energy-efficient


could you become if you were in
the running for a $5 million prize?

The good news is Claremont was selected as one of 52


communities to participate in the Georgetown University
Energy Prize (GUEP). The competition challenges US
communities to work together with local government and
utilities to develop and implement plans for innovative,
replicable, scalable and continual reductions in the percapita energy consumed from local natural gas and electric utilities.
The competing communities hail from all points on the
compassfrom Alaska to Vermont, from Michigan to
Floridaand comprise a representative sample of communities with populations between 5,000 and 250,000.
Residences and all K-12 schools as well as municipal
buildings, street lights and parking structures will be included in the two-year citywide challenge, with Claremont being the only community in Los Angeles County
competing for the energy conservation prize.
Working closely with the city and spearheading the
competition for Claremont are none other than Sustainable Claremont and the CHERP Community Home Energy Retrofit Project.
I got into this because I was surprised that 80 percent
of total energy use in Claremont is being used by residents, said Devon Hartman, executive director of
CHERP. We feel weve made inroads to energy efficiency and weve got a great shot!
More than 60 residents gathered at The Hahn Building
on Monday evening for a Sustainable Dialog presentation, focused on the Claremont energy challenge. Detailing the goals of the program, Mr. Hartman explained the
steps participants could take to contribute in their quest
to achieve energy efficiency.
The first step is education, says Mr. Hartman. When
you learn whats possible, you get inspired to change be-

havior. Narrowing the conversation between the city and


residents, communicating all the benefits, has proved to
be the hardest thing to do.
Steps two through five, according to Mr. Hartman, include tasks ranging from switching out standard lightbulbs to LEDs to more ambitious endeavors like installing
solar panels.
We will set goals, said Mr. Hartman. Each household can choose any path that they want. They can start
small and end up with some big changes. There is quite a
bit of urgency around this, though. The more we can do
sooner, then the more opportunity there is to create a difference between the next two years and the baseline two
years.
The GUEP is comprised of four stages that began in
April 2014 with the application process and conclude in
June 2017 with the winning community receiving a projected $5 million prize to be spent on energy-efficiency
programs that reward the community as a whole. In order
to compete for the GUEP, the city had to obtain the cooperation of The Gas Company and Southern California
Edison.
Claremont has successfully completed the first two
stages of the challenge and will begin Stage Three, the
Semifinalist Performance Competition, from January
2015 through December 2016.
The utility companies must report the communitys
baseline energy use from the two years prior to the competition. In the months that follow, utilities have committed to reporting the total monthly energy directly supplied
by natural gas and electric utilities to all municipal and
residential customers, as well as the monthly number of
residential bills issued.
The city will have access to aggregated data from the
utility companies, Mr. Hartman explained. Every
household will be included, but the city and the GUEP
will not be privy to individual household data.
During the 24-month competition stage, the utilities

POLICE BLOTTER
Tuesday, November 4
A criminal with a career in burglary
might want to consider another line of
work. Around 8:09 a.m., a suspect broke
into a Toyota 4Runner parked and locked
at Western Christian School. Using an
unknown object to break the front passenger window, the burglar stole the victims purse containing her wedding ring,
and fled the location undetected. Surveillance cameras provided police with
a description of the suspect, who later
used the victims Discover card for an
online purchase and had it shipped to an
Ontario address. Follow-up by Claremont police resulted in the arrest of Gerald Crutcher after officers determined the
53-year-old matched the description of
the suspect. Property loss is estimated to
be $10,000.
Wednesday, November 5
Another SUV broken into, another
wedding ring stolen. Around 10:45 a.m.,
unknown suspects smashed the rear drivers side window of a white 2000 Lexus
RX300 to snatch a leather handbag
tucked underneath the back seat. The
burglars fled the 5100 block of Mt.
Baldy Road unseen, making off with
$3,000 worth of items including a leather
purse and wallet, a cell phone, a platinum
band with six diamonds, $200 cash,
credit cards and various gift cards.

Thursday, November 6
A Pomona resident stopped for speeding spent the night in jail after police determined he was drunk driving. Felipe
Alonso was driving near Foothill Boulevard and Lynoak Drive around 1:30 a.m.
when officers witnessed the vehicle traveling 53 mph in a 40 mph zone and
pulled the driver over. During the investigation, officers determined the 31-yearold driver was under the influence of
alcohol and arrested him for DUI. During his field sobriety test, Mr. Alonsos
passenger, Sergio Osorio, was fast asleep
in the front seat of the vehicle and snoring very loudly. The 29-year-old Val
Verde resident did wake up briefly, but
only to open the passenger door and
puke. Mr. Osorio was arrested for public
intoxication. Both men were later released on bail.
Friday, November 7
A grown man was arrested after vandalizing two vehicles and trying to evade
police. A victim claimed Michael Orcasitas threw a large rock at his 2012
Chevy Tahoe as it traveled down Indian
Hill Boulevard near San Jose around
8:30 a.m. According to Lieutenant Mike
Ciszek, the 26-year-old man ran from the
scene and then accosted another vehicle
stopped at a traffic light. While waiting
for the light to change, Mr. Orcasitas al-

will provide the GUEP administrators and local community leaders with monthly aggregate energy data, and the
community will provide informal progress reports at least
once every two months. GUEP will publicize the reports
as well as the competition status on a Performance Dashboard via a website, which will be fed monthly with the
citys energy data.
Earlier this year, Claremont participated in another energy competition, the CoolCalifornia Challenge, taking
second place and walking away with $22,797 and the title
of Cool California City. Claremont was one of only 10
cities that participated in the six-month contest in which
thousands of households across California competed for
the biggest citywide carbon footprint reduction. Participating households tracked their energy and household vehicle emissions to reduce their carbon footprints, and
earned points in the program that resulted in a big win.
The Georgetown program differs in that participants only
get credit for cutting back on two things: natural gas and
electricity.
This program is based on actual energy usage as
measured by Edison and The Gas Company. Its adjusted
to be per capita and also for the climate and things of that
sort, said Freeman Allen, Sustainable Claremont Chair.
Devon has done most of the work, devising a schematic
to get the community involved with organizations creating individual sub-plans and contacting their members.
We would like to crosslink with as many organizations as
possible.
Theres no denying that $5 million is a lot of money
and would be a great benefit to the city in terms of its
long-term sustainability goals. The citys sustainability
plan already includes a goal of reducing community-wide
energy consumption by 13 percent of 2006 levels by 2015
and 20 percent by 2020.

Saturday, November 8
Police are on the lookout for two unknown suspects who had a meal at
Casablanca and attempted to pay their
bill with counterfeit cash. Officers responded to the Packing House location
around 11:30 p.m. after a male and female came into the eatery and paid for
their bill with four counterfeit $20 bills
before fleeing the scene. The first suspect
is described as a white male, 510 and
160 pounds with a shaved head and tattoos on his neck and arms. The second
suspect is a Hispanic female, 510 and
150 pounds with straight, long hair. Both
remain at large.
Sunday, November 9
A Montclair man with a history of impaired driving got behind the wheel and
did it again. Officers responded to a welfare check of a man passed out in a vehicle with the door open in the middle of
the intersection at Northwestern and
Santa Clara. While en route to the scene,
officers were advised the vehicle was
now northbound on Towne Avenue and

Foothill Boulevard. Police stopped the


vehicle and made contact with the driver,
Gregg Gomez, who exhibited symptoms
of driving under the influence. The 28year-old told officers he didnt want to
be driving at all, saying, I want to be off
the road because I dont want to hurt
people and alerted police to his two previous DUIs. Mr. Gomez was arrested for
DUI at nearly twice the legal limit and
released the following day on $5,000
bail.
Monday, November 10
Two homes north of Base Line Road
were burglarized. The first burglary occurred between 7:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. in
the 900 block of Moody Place, south of
Mt. Baldy Road and west of Padua Avenue. The suspect entered the residence
by smashing a glass back door and made
off with a 45-caliber Springfield pistol
and jewelry. The second burglary occurred at approximately 5:15 p.m. in the
2300 block of Bradley Avenue, located
north of Base Line Road and east of Indian Hill Boulevard. The suspect entered
the residence through an unlocked sliding door.
Claremont police remind residents to
report any suspicious people or vehicles
in neighborhoods. Anyone with information regarding these burglaries should
contact the Claremont Police Department at (909) 399-5411 or call 9-1-1 if it
is an emergency.

Together may we go

ach week, Jews focus


their attention on a particular part of the
Torah, the first five books of
the Hebrew Bible. The practice
is part of a fundamental cycle
that is designed so that Jewish
communities throughout the
world all study, in order, the
same section at the same time.
It takes approximately one
year to get from the beginning
of Genesis to the end of
Deuteronomy, and as soon as
we are done, we start right
back at the beginning.
Since the cycle this year started in
mid-October, by early November, the
focus has moved forward to Genesis
chapters 18 through 24. This section
begins with Abraham welcoming three
guests while camped by the oaks of
Mamre, and ends with him journeying
toward the land of Moriah, after nearly
taking the life of his son Isaac as a sacrifice to God.
This portion is full of other dramatic
and memorable scenes, from Abraham
and his wife Sarahs lying about their
relationship in order to save their lives,

by Cantor Paul Buch

Inter-Faithfully SPEAKING
to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. But, it is one somewhat lesserknown episode that draws my attention
this year, especially as it relates to the
challenging though often rewarding effort many of us contribute to developing and maintaining relationships
across faith boundaries.
Its the story of Hagar, Sarahs handmaiden and the mother of a boy whom
Abraham fathered with Sarahs encouragement when she believed herself incapable of conceiving a child.
Earlier in the Torah, God had promised Abraham that his offspring shall
be as numerous as the stars in the heavens, and it seems that under the prevailing custom of the times, this child,
even though from Sarahs servant, will
be considered to be hers as well as
Abrahams. But, when Hagar becomes
pregnant, Sarah, perhaps feeling envy
or jealousy, responds by treating Hagar
harshly, causing the maidservant to flee
into the wilderness. There, Hagar encounters an angel by a well of water
who promises, in God's name, that I
will greatly increase your offspring.
Hagar is then told to call her son Ishmael (God hears).
Later in this section of Genesis, God

reaffirms to Abraham that I make you


the father of a multitude of nations. I
will make you exceedingly fertile, and
make nations of you; and kings shall
come forth from you. As Rabbi Arnold
Eisen of the Jewish Theological Seminary points out, One cannot miss the
plurality of plurals here: a multitude of
nations, nations shall be born of Abraham, kings shall come forth from him.
Rabbi Eisen continues, When we
read the very next verseI will maintain my covenant between Me and you
and your offspring after you, as an
everlasting covenant throughout the
generations, to be God to you and to
your offspring after you. We cannot
avoid asking what offspring signifies.
Does it refer only to the descendants
of the child ultimately born to Sarah
herself, wholl be named Isaac (laughter)? Or does it include as well the descendants of the son, Ishmael, already
born to Abraham by Hagar
Subsequent biblical passages seem to
make it clear that there will be a unique
covenant established through Isaac that
eventually evolves into Judaism and, by
extension, Christianity. But the Genesis
story takes special care to reiterate that

I wonder if there is a Buddhist college with a football team?

God will have a special relationship


with Ishmael and his seed as well. I
hereby bless him...I will make him fertile and exceedingly numerous...I shall
make of him a great nation.
Centuries later, guided by their
prophet Muhammad, these Children of
Ishmael become known as Muslims.
This is truly remarkable, Rabbi
Eisen emphasizes. Jews share the sign
of the covenant from the very outset
with another people, another faith! God
is the God of Ishmaels seed no less
than our God, just as Abraham is no
less their ancestor than he is ours.
It is perspectives such as this that
move me to work so diligently towards
a reconciliation of our ancestral family
of origin and to the reconnection of
our two (and including Christians,
three) separated peoples if not in complete harmony, then at least in dialogue
and mutual respect.
In this month when we focus on gratitude, I am thankful not only to live in a
country that supports the free expression of all religious traditions, but for
being part of a community that encourages me to pursue this Abrahamic family vision, and for the many partners
and friends I have made along this path.
As we Jews say when we conclude
studying a complete book of the Torah,
Chazak, chazak vnitchazekTogether may we go from strength to
strength.

hen I was a kid, I thought that


just about the most amazing
thing that could ever happen to
you would be to be on TV.
Most of all, I wanted to be waving to my legions of
fans who I imagined sitting at home in their
Barcaloungers. I would employ the same laser-focused
intensity with which I waved to my parents whenever
they turned the home movie camera on me, capturing
no sound, just a jittery enthusiasm that caused my hand
to flap up and down in hyper-speed.
My kids have been on TV hundreds of timesthey

Lets roll

Dear Editor:
There is truth to the statement, Do
what you have always done...get what
you have always got.
A week ago Tuesday, Claremont voters documented their support to move
forward with the removal of Golden
State as our water provider. The numbers
were over 71 percent yes to 29 percent
no. This was a city-wide win, as in each
and every precinct, the yes vote won.
This outrage started from the December 2011 PUC hearing at Taylor Hall,
with over 700 ratepayers in attendance.
At the January 2012 public workshop,
the council identified the Golden State
situation as priority number-one.
A few months ago, Claremont FLOW

mailed in. We sent in dozens, and sat, glued-to-the-television. Youre sitting too close, my mother would
yell at us, certain we were somehow damaging our
brains.
We fervently hoped shed choose one of ours to receive a giant treasure chest of toysand once, we actually won, but we must have been doing something else
that afternoon because we never heard her read our
names aloud to the viewing public. And though we enjoyed our winnings, I deeply desired that notoriety and
fame. I dont know, maybe I thought Id end up in the
Hollywood Christmas Parade behind a float carrying
Lawrence Welk and a real piano that somehow spewed
champagne bubbles.
I mention this because lately Ive been able to enjoy
a vestige of this dream, thanks to my son who hosts an
hour-long program for his college radio station, KUPS
at the University of Puget Sound, titled Better Get It in

Your Soul, during which he plays an eclectic mix of


jazz from John Coltrane to Chet Baker. This show is
on-the-air twice-weekly in Tacoma, Washington and,
for those of us who just want to kvell (derived from the
Yiddish, meaning: burst with pride), there is live
streaming on the radios website. My son has a wideranging audience with listeners as far away as Asia
(classmate studying abroad) and two grandmothers.
A couple of days ago, he played a jazzy version of
These Are a Few of My Favorite Things, and dedicated it to his grandmother from Boca Raton, Florida,
who loves to go out dancing with her friend Marty.
And she was listening! She called us afterwards to kvell
about her grandson.
Last year, I was standing in the first-class aisle of a
plane, waiting to get to my coach seat on a flight from
Boston to Los Angeles, when one of the supremely fortunate first class passengers stopped me and said,
Arent you that columnist from the Claremont
COURIER? My 15 seconds of fame! My head got so
big, they almost made me put it in the overhead compartment.
And thats how I feel every time I hear my progeny
proclaim, This is Cooper Weissman and youre listening to...

READERS COMMENTS

came into being and a hardworking team


of precinct coordinators and walkers
all volunteers and citizenswalked the
city to knock on doors and provide residents information, gathering over 1,300
endorsements along the way. This was a
tireless, awesome group.
In the final week and days before the
election, this turned into a dirty, disgusting campaign, as residents had to withstand mailers, newspaper ads, Internet
banners, being flipped off by paid-for no
sign carriers, phone calls from Pennsylvania pollsters and campaign materials
on our front doors (the identical piece we
got in the mail the day before), robo

calls, a large oversized no sign on a truck


driving through town, secret focus group
meetings and hundreds of no signs in illegal places all over the city.
The yes side won, but make no mistake, Golden State had their way with
Claremont in the worst fashion. They
should be ashamed. This is not how a
publicly-traded company should act. It
was hardly a proud moment.
During the community presentations,

we heard a representative of the no side


say, Dont even like Golden State, not a
fan. Its more obvious now why that
was said. Claremont deserves better from
a company that we pay millions of dollars to each year. Despite all the big
money funded by Golden State, Claremont spoke loud and clear.
The council decided to put this to a
vote of the people as a finance mechanism. The voters authorized the purchase
of a financial method or vehicle. We now
need you to drive the bus. Lets roll!

Jack Newton Pocock

OBITUARIES

Beloved father and grandfather


Longtime Claremont resident Jack
Newton Pocock died peacefully at home
on October 6, 2014. Memorial services
will be held at 2 p.m. on Friday, December
5, 2014 at 343 W. 12th St. in Claremont.
Born on March 30, 1935 in Prairie City,
Oregon to Edith and Jack Pocock, Jack
spent his early years in Seneca, Oregon,
where his father was employed. Early in
WWII, the family moved to the Arthur
Begg Ranch in the John Day Valley,
named after Jacks maternal grandfather.
There, Jack started at the Beshaw School
across the road from his home. Because
he lived so close, he was given the job of
chopping wood and starting the fire for
the one-room schoolhouse on cold winter
days.
Considered big and strong for his age,
young Jack was soon put to work on the
ranch, haying, riding horseback and helping in all areas of ranch life. Jack and his
friends did a lot of hunting, not always
within the law, but kept the family wellsupplied with venison. His family noted
that Jack got his first deer when he was just
10 years old.
Jacks family moved to John Day, Oregon in 1946 after the ranch was sold. There,
he attended junior high and Grant Union
High School where he excelled in sports
and participated in other nefarious activities, giving Jack many stories to share in his
later life with family and friends.
When his father became seriously ill in

1948, his mother went back to work


teaching school. During his fathers extended illness, Jack went to Izee to work
for the Joe Officer family, where he was
said to be taken in as a family member.
His years spent there were the most influential of his life and these relation-

ships, along with those he developed


when he worked piling lumber on boxcars
as he grew older, were lifelong and some
of the most important to him.
Mr. Pococks football success enabled
him to attend Boise Junior College along
with fellow Grant Union High School grad
Bill Gardner. The team was very successful and several members of the team, including Mr. Pocock, transferred to the University of Oregon where he played football
his junior and senior years before graduating in 1958. He treasured the friendships he
made there the rest of his life and always
considered himself an Oregon Duck, faithfully watching the Ducks play up until his
passing.
After graduating from the University of
Oregon, Mr. Pocock moved to San Francisco in 1959 and went to work for the
Cummins diesel engine dealership, Watson and Meehan. This started his career in
the trucking industry and is also where he
met his future wife, Judith Conner, who
worked there while she was attending
college. They married in 1962 and moved
to Walnut Creek, California where they
started their family. A son Jay was born in
1963, followed by daughter Jennifer, born
11 months later in 1964. The family
moved to Reno, Nevada in 1968 where
Mr. Pocock started a new dealership as
general manager with Watson and Meehan. Their third child, a daughter Jill, was
born in 1968.

In 1971, the family moved back to Walnut Creek after Mr. Pocock took a position
with Reliance Sales Co. in San Francisco
with Don Ling, who became a business
partner and lifelong friend. Wanting to
open his own trailer sales company in
1975, Mr. Pocock moved the family to
Eugene, Oregon where he started Alloy
Trailers of Oregon. He sold the company
after several years and moved to Claremont in 1979.
Once settled in Claremont, Mr. Pocock
opened Reliance Trailer Co. in Los Angeles with Mr. Ling. In 1983, Mr. Pocock
acquired Superior Trailer Works from the
founding family and moved the company
to Fontana, where he continued to build
the business. His son Jay joined him in
operating the business in 1985. Semi-retired in 2005, Mr. Pocock spent more time
traveling, golfing and seeing his longtime
friends before suffering a stroke in 2007.
Mr. Pocock is survived by his former
wife Judi, his children Jay Pocock (Kimberly) of Claremont, Jennifer Pocock of
Mill Valley and Jill Pocock Betz
(Stephen) of Telluride, Colorado and eight
grandchildren; Olivia, Claudia, Christian
and Lucas Betz; and Emily, Courtney,
Amy and Jerred Pocock and by his sister
Mary Mascall MacArthur of Dayville,
Oregon.
A memorial service will be held in Oregon at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, November
29, 2014 at the John Day Golf Club.

CHS Theatre Department presents FOOT Auction

he Claremont High School Theatre


Department will present its annual
Friends of Our Theatre (FOOT)
Auction on Tuesday, November 18 and
Wednesday, November 19 at 7 p.m. at the
Candlelight Pavilion, 455 W. Foothill
Blvd. in Claremont.

Students from the musical theatre class will perform selections from the musical Matilda in an
evening of music, dancing and unique auction items.
This event will serve as the start of the theatre departments 2014-2015 theatre season.
Tickets are available online at the CHS ASB webstore for $7 or at the door for $8. To purchase tickets
and for descriptions of specific auction items, visit the
CHS Theatre webstore at
chstheatre.cusd.claremont.edu, or call the Claremont
High School Theatre at (909) 624-9053 ext.30463.
Tis the season
The theatre departments budget is approximately
$165,000 a year. Costs include costumes, royalties
like the nearly $8,000 charge for the right to perform
their end-of-the-year musicaland additional production staff. It is only with the communitys involvement that the students are able to stage the
high-quality shows produced each year.
After the Foot Auction, the CHS Theatre Department season will be up and running, beginning in the
first week of December with the high school premiere
of Coney Island Christmas. Critic Travis Michael
Holder calls the dramedy, which was commissioned
by the Geffen Playhouse and written by the Pulitzer
Prize-winning Donald Margulies, a sweetly heartwarming story with a lot to say about how life could
be better through understanding and tolerance for one
another.

COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff


Claremont High School Theatre Department will present their annual FOOTAuction on Tuesday, November
18 and Wednesday, November 19.

Its got all the stuff of a holiday classic, according


to CHS Theatre Director Krista Elhai.
Its a flashback of a great-grandmother telling her
granddaughter about the first play she was ever in,
she explained. Shes an immigrant from Poland, an
orthodox Jew, and shes cast as Jesus Christ in the
Christmas play, and she doesnt want to do it.
Next up, in February, comes a production of the
Miracle Worker, the story of teacher Annie Sullivans fight to reach the deaf and blind girl Helen
Keller, who would grow up to be a famous author, activist and lecturer. In April, the theatre department
will present The Jungle Book as its annual childrens
show.
Also on tap for this action-packed school year is a
modern retelling of The Odyssey. The season will
culminate with a production held at Bridges Auditorium of The Addams Family, a magnificently
macabre musical comedy that made its Broadway
debut in April 2011.
The story, created by Jersey Boys authors Marshall
Brickman and Rick Elice, sounds like a blast, as described on the musicals website: Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up
and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man
from a respectable family. A man her parents have
never met. And if that werent upsetting enough, she
confides in her father and begs him not to tell her
mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something
hes never done beforekeep a secret from his
beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for
the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesdays normal boyfriend and his parents.

The Theater Department has more good news to


share besides its vital season. The bills from the renovations of the Don F. Fruechte Theatre For the Arts,
which opened with a ribbon-cutting last March, were
recently reconciled, with pleasing results, according
to Ms. Elhai.
Because some of the bills came in under budget,
the district was able to buy us all-new curtains, which
were installed in September, she said. It has also
approved a very, very large sound upgrade. Were
hoping to start on some of it in the next two weeks
and finish in December.
Theres no doubt about it, Claremont High School
has an intensive theatre program. Most high schools
present only two or three shows per year. The five
shows planned for this year represent a small season for CHS theatre, Ms. Elhai said. An unprecedented 540 students are enrolled in CHS theatre
courses.
The theatrical fervor is a good fit for the cultureloving community of Claremont. It has also lead to
many thespians finding their niches in the entertainment world.
CHS alumnus Michael Krieger Alden is serving as
producer for Disgraced, a show that opened on
Broadway a couple weeks ago. Another Claremont
High School thespian, John Lee Beatty, is scenic designer for the same production. Another notable
member of the Wolfpack, Eli Bolin, gained rave reviews for his score of the musical Found, which just
closed in New York.
Closer to home, two of Ms. Elhais protges, Amy
Gillette and Stephanie Inglese, are in Jekyll & Hyde,
which runs through November 2 at the Candlelight
Pavilion. In a recent StageSceneLA review, Ms.
Gillette, who plays Dr. Jekylls long-suffering fianc
Emma, was praised for her exquisite legit soprano.
Between multiple classes and productions and her
post as adviser to CHSs Comedy Sportz improv club,
Ms. Elhai sometimes feels short on time. She never,
however, feels lacking when it comes to teens who
can fill a roleeither onstage or backstagewith
verve.
Weve got just great kids, she said. Im overwhelmed with the talented and neat freshmen, weve
got some really great transfer students and weve got
some kids at CHS who Ive never seen, like some
senior boys who are really standing out in the childrens theatre class.

Pomona College Theatre presents contemporary rock musical


Spring Awakening
Spring Awakening, a contemporary
rock musical inspired by Franz
Wedekind's 1891 German play of the
same name and portraying teenage selfdiscovery, will be performed at Pomona
College on Thursday, November 20 and
Friday, November 21 at 8 p.m.; Saturday, November 22 at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m.;
and Sunday, November 23 at 2 p.m. in
Seaver Theatre, 300 E. Bonita Ave.
The original play is often considered
one of dramatic literatures most controversial masterpieces, a work so daring in its depiction of teenage
self-discovery that it was banned from
the stage and not performed in its complete form in English for nearly 100
years.
These same incendiary qualities are
very much in evidence in the musical,
which was adapted by Steven Sater,
with music by Duncan Sheik. Spring
Awakening opened on Broadway at the
Eugene ONeill Theatre in 2006, winning eight Tonys, four Drama Desk
Awards and four Olivier Awards.
Director Giovanni Ortega is a visiting professor of theatre who has been
working professionally around the
country for over 10 years. Composer
and musical director Kristen Lee

Who are you thankful


for? Wed like to know
Our friends at Mt. San Antonio Gardens recently published an interesting
special section in their monthly
newsletter, The Green Leaf. They asked
their residents a simple question, Who
are you thankful for? We hear a lot
about what people are thankful for
during the holidays, but less about
who were thankful for.
In this vein, were asking readers to
submit a 300-word story about an influential person in their life. Did a childhood teacher or athletic coach make a
positive impact on your life? Perhaps it
was a pastor or rabbi who offered special words of wisdom. Oftentimes, its a
brother or sister who shares in our triumphs and setbacks.
The deadline for submissions is Friday, November 21. Well use as many
as possible for our upcoming special,
The Holiday Mag, which will go out the
Friday after Thanksgiving. Please email
submissions to Kathryn Dunn at editor@claremont-courier. Feel free to include a photo with your essay. If room
permits, well publish a few images
along with the entries.
Its been said that imitation is the
most sincere form of flattery. Thanks, in
advance, to The Gardens for allowing
us to borrow some inspiration.

Coach resigns, doesnt keep CHS girls from victory

laremont High School girls volleyball had somewhat of a mixed


week, losing their head coach but
snapping back to win their first-round CIF
playoff match against visiting Palm Desert.
The Packs celebrated coach Jodi Postlmayr, who
was in her first semester leading the girls team, abruptly
quit last week to take a full-time teaching job. According to school officials, Ms. Postlmayr accepted the new
position assuming she would be able to see Claremont
through CIF playoffs, but was ordered by her new employer to sever ties with CHS immediately. Mark Mina,
who also leads the junior varsity team, will take over
as head coach at least through the end of the playoffs.
The girls showed no signs that Ms. Postlmayrs exit
would slow down their momentum and easily swept
aside Palm Desert, 3-0, on Tuesday night at CHS. During the first game, it seemed as though it would be a short
night with several kills from standout Emilee Rohrer resulting in a lopsided 25-16 win for the Wolfpack.
Palm Desert gave Claremont a bit of a scare in the
second game, nearly tying the score late at 24-23. However, CHS put together a solid return, gaining the last
point they needed for the 25-23 win.
The Pack only trailed once all night and only because
the Aztecs scored first in the third game. Palm Deserts
lead was short-lived as Claremont retook the momentum
and did not look back, finishing with a solid 25-18 win.
The girls faced Arcadia Thursday in the second round.
Water polo cruises to win in CIF play
Water polo had a pretty easy go in the first round of
the CIF playoffs on Wednesday, defeating visiting Citrus Valley 19-9.
The teams defense led by star goal keeper Steven
Cagle continues to shut down the competition while
helping to set up scoring opportunities. Mr. Cagle had
nine saves, one steal and two assists against the Blackhawks, which is a typical performance for the six-foot,
five-inch senior.

CHS ends season with dominating runs at Mt. SAC


Claremont High School cross country capped a great
season with five team wins last Wednesday during the
Palomares League finals at Mt. San Antonio College. In
addition, Claremont dominated the podium, taking first,
second and third in two races and only giving up 3 of 15
top places to rival Ayala. The sweep solidified an undefeated season in league play, and Claremont won both
league meets, a feat Coach Rob Lander said was a first
at CHS.
The finals started with the boys junior varsity race
and a strong showing from Ayala that almost cost Claremont their sweep. The race was so close that the Packs
cumulative team time was 11 seconds slower than the
Bulldogs, but Claremonts top placings were higher
than Ayalas and the Pack came out on top 24-31. The
third-place team was Bonita with 99 points. Claremonts Sergio Espinoza took first place at 17:00, followed by Ayalas Sebastian Sanchez at 17:06. Third and
fourth went to a pair of Claremont runners, David Alvarado at 17:24 and Joaquin Segura-Mora at 17:27.
The girls junior varsity race, in sharp contrast to the
boys JV race, was the most lopsided victory of the day.
Claremont took the top 11 places, scoring a meet-low of
just 15 points. Top runs came from two freshmen,

Pilgrims to share poetry, wares, wisdom at annual festival

long with a traditional


Thanksgiving meal,
you can get food for
the soul at this weekends annual Pilgrim Place Festival, in
the form of The Poetry of
Aging.
Retired journalist and book editor
Jean Lesher served as general editor for
the 52-page chapbook, which will be
sold for $5 at the festivals Authors and
Composers booth. It poses a single
question: What does it feel like to grow
old?
Not the everyday getting older but
the really, really oldthose of us in our
70s, 80s and 90s, after all of our family
elders and most of our peers have long
gone, she elaborated. We elders are
part of a cohort of the oldest citizens in
the history of this country, the vanguard
of the larger generation to comethe
Boomers. We arrived before World War
II.
With 51 poems written by 39 Pilgrim
Place residents, the answers are as varied as life itself. Sometimes, aging feels

In Strangers by Pat Patterson, a recently-widowed man finds comfort
among people he doesnt know, a situation where, without friends well-meaning concern, he is free to grieve alone
in a world crowded with memories.
In Dementia Becomes Us, Michael
Witmer learns that, when someone he
loves forgets everything they once
knew, a new self, marked by authenticity and love, emerges.
And as Millie Tengbom finds her
self-sufficiency ebbing, she looks for
courage in a passage in the Bible.

do so?/Ask for help?

for much of the race and Renken crossed
the line 51 seconds ahead of the top Ayala
runner, Joey Kim, at 17:21. Fourth went
to Claremont sophomore Felix Lawson
at 17:29. Top team scores were Claremont 25, Ayala 32 and Bonita 72.

Sandyland takes crazy journey from politics to pop culture


andra Bernhard will bring plenty
of sass to Citrus College when she
performs her one-woman show,
Sandyland, on Saturday, November 15
at the Haugh Performing Arts Center.

She will come packing her quadruple-threat


statussinger, actress, songwriter and
comediennein a show that blends theater, rock n
roll and standup, with a little burlesque and cabaret
thrown in for good measure.
In a recent interview, Ms. Bernhard told the
COURIER that her 90-minute act, with no
intermission, mind you, is a wild ride.
Its kind of a fun, crazy travelogue through my
life, through the world that I observe and sort of
interpret for my audience, she said. I take you on a
journey: places Ive been, people Ive met, the crazy
life I lead. Its a glimpse into another way of living
that, to me, is interesting and captivating.
With a polished alto and a gift for mining the pathos
and irony of hit music, Ms. Bernhard punctuates the
stops on her journey with covers ranging from
Gordon Lightfoots If You Could Read My Mind to
Miley Cyrus Wrecking Ball. You havent heard the
latter song, by the way, until youve heard it belted by
a whip-smart 59-year-old chanteuse.
Shes been in fine voice lately, and, as always,
shows a deft hand with capturing the cultural
zeitgeist. After a gig at Joes Pub in Manhattan,
New York Times critic Stephen Holden said, Ms.
Bernhards ear is as perfectly attuned as ever to music
that youre embarrassed to admit you might like.
In Sandyland, Ms. Bernhard ranges from
politics to pop culture to her relationship with
partner Sara Switzer to parenting her 16-year-old
daughter.
Im involved in life. First of all, having a
daughter at the age she is keeps you very in tune
with whats going on, said Ms. Bernhard. Im very
interested in the political scene. And I live in New
York, so every time I look out the door theres
something I encounter. Ive got culturally smart
friends, interesting people in my life, so its really a
no-brainer. Life keeps evolving.

Busy Bernhard
Along with touring for Sandyland, Ms. Bernhard
made her debut on Foxs Brooklyn Nine-Nine
earlier this month as Ginas eccentric mother, and
will reprise the role in an episode on December 7.
She also has a recurring role in Switched at Birth
as Bays offbeat art teacher Teresa Lubarsky.
Some people might be overwhelmed by such a
full plate. But diversification is Ms. Bernhards
stock-in-trade.
She first gained notice in the late-70s for her
outrageous stand-up act. Over the years, she has
written three books and won acclaim for her role in
the 1983 Martin Scorcese film The King of
Comedy and one-woman live shows like I Love
Being Me, Dont You? She also broke barriers
with her portrayal of Nancy Bartlett, the first openly
gay character on network television, on Roseanne.
Ive always rotated everything I do in my career,
thats what you have to do, she said. Thats the
way my mind works best. Im happiest when Im
jumping from one creative experience to the next.
Comedy and creativity is alive and well, Ms.
Bernhard said. She loves the show Transparent,
viewable on Amazon Prime, and admires many
contemporary comedic actresses like SNL alums
Amy Poehler, Tina Fey and Kristin Wiig.
From the start, Ms. Bernhard vowed she would
not take the old-school comediennes path in which
comedy is based on self-deprecation, like Phyllis
Diller and Joan Rivers riffing on their respective,
self-proclaimed lack of beauty.
Its a new generation. When I started doing

what I was doing, I was one of the first people to


take that approach, she said. Thats where Lena
Dunham jumped off. She shouldnt be confident,
and yet shes over-confident. There are so many
different kinds of beauty, so many different kinds
of colors, so many different kinds of ethnicity.
Its about turning her view outward instead of
focusing exclusively on herself.
I write, so it all stems from keeping diaries and
notebooks, recording observations, and reading
and riffing on what Im reading about and thinking
about in my life.

Loud and proud


Of course, Ms. Bernhard has never been afraid to
share her angle on politics. For instance, she says
President Barack Obama is an easy target
for haters like Fox News commentators.
Of course, its easy to blame him.
Hes the one whos standing in the
center of it all, she said. Its very
clear that without the support of
congress and the senate, you cant
get anything done. And yet hes
gotten a lot doneObamacare, the
Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, the list
goes on and on and on.
Hes an amazing person and he cant get
everything done, because hes constantly blocked
by a contentious congress, she continued. Hes an
intellectual, smart man who doesnt always feel like
bending to things that are a detriment to the
environment and womens reproductive rights.
Could he have done a better job? Yes, with the
support of congress. We are living in a very bitter,
contentious time.
It doesnt have to be that way, according to Ms.
Bernhard.
The more you understand yourself, the less
interested you are in repressing people sexually or
telling them how many kids to have, she said. If
youre happy and youve created the world youre
happy with, just stay in your own pocket and do
your own thing.
Her biggest business now is to raise her daughter
the best she can.
Every week, theres something different that
goes on, Ms. Bernhard said. Theyre a work in
progress. Youve just got to hang in there day to
day and be there for them. You need to be solid,
and support them and love them and make
dinner and hang out.
Ms. Bernhard, who averages between two and
five performances a month, is optimistic about
her artistic future.
I think that, for sure, theres several great
roles that either I will create for myself or
someone will cast me in, she said. Its
all in progress right now. Im excited
about all of the possibilities.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are
considering bidding on this property lien, you should
understand that there are risks involved in bidding at
a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on
the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee
auction does not automatically entitle you to free and
clear ownership of the property. You should also be
aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction,
you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens
senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can
receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged
to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance
company, either of which may charge you a fee for
this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender
may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on
the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER:
The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be
postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g
of the California Civil Code. 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
applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale
of this property, you may call (916) 939-0772 or visit

SUMMARY OF ORDINANCE
INTRODUCED AT THE REGULAR
CLAREMONT CITY COUNCIL
MEETING OF NOVEMBER 12, 2014
(Full text of this ordinance is on file in the
office of the City Clerk and in the document archives on the City website:
www.ci.claremont.ca.us)
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CLAREMONT,
AMENDING AND UPDATING VARIOUS
CHAPTERS AND SECTIONS OF THE
CLAREMONT MUNICIPAL CODE.
Summary of Ordinance
The Ordinance amends the Claremont Municipal
Code as follows:
Chapter 1.14 is revised to create a second type of
administrative citation. The Citys existing Administrative Citation will remain, and continue to
be issued by code enforcement officers. Such Administrative Citations will primarily be related to
building code violations or other correctable violations. The second type of citation will be called
a Police Citation and will be issued exclusively by
Claremont Police Officers. Police Citations will be
handled similar to parking citations. Persons challenging Police Citations will seek initial review
from a Claremont Police Department Watch Commander and, should further review be requested, an
administrative hearing will be held similar to parking citations. Recipients of Police Citations will
have 21 days to pay the fine (same as parking citations) or request review, and fines will be subject
to late fees if not paid on time. The fine payment
deadlines and administrative hearing procedures for
Administrative Citations remain unchanged. The
City may pursue recovery of costs for all administrative hearings on both citations, and recipients of
the citations will be allowed to challenge the final
ruling of the hearing officer by filing a petition to
the superior court.
Chapter 1.16 is revised to incorporate the provisions of the Government Claims Act (Gov. Code
900 et seq.) and include the following: (1) establishes requirements for contents of claims; (2) establishes the procedure for filing late claims; (3)
specifies tax refunds as requiring claims, rather than
requiring claims to be filed for all types of refunds;
(4) corrects the time limits for presenting claims
and for filing lawsuits after claims have been rejected; (5) establishes the time period for the City to
act on a claim; (6) requires any class action claim
to be verified by each member of that class; (7)
requires claims to be presented to the City Clerk;
(8) authorizes the City Manager (or his/her designee) to review all claims for sufficiency and notify claimants of any insufficiencies in their claims;
and (9) authorizes the City Manager to reject, settle, compromise or allow claims up to $2,500.
Section 2.040.020 is revised to eliminate the following existing language regarding the City Manager: At the time of his or her appointment, he or
she need not be a resident of the city or state, but
during his or her tenure of office he or she shall reside within the city.
Section 2.04.050 is revised to allow the City Manager to designate a qualified administrative office
by letter and/or by email filed with the City Clerk.
Section 2.04.060 is revised to add the position of
Finance Director to the list of Department Head positions under the City Managers supervision.
Section 2.08.020 is revised to add the exception
that the City Manager may, with the Mayors approval, determine that a different location is necessary or better suited for the purpose of the meeting.
Section 2.12.040 is revised to add to the existing
language to allow for reserve police officers to be
compensated when: (1) working special events
paid for by third parties; (2) responding to a subpoena related to a reserve police officers duties;
and (3) when authorized by the City Manager for
seasonal events. The proposed language will also
add that reserve police officers are to be reimbursed
for personnel expenses as a monthly per diem approved by the City Manager.
Section 2.12.050 is revised to add that a reserve
police officer may also have the same power and
authority of a regular police officer when he/she has
satisfied the requirements of a Level I reserve officer as defined by the Peace Officer Standards and
Training (POST) requirements.
Section 2.16.010 is revised to establish a boundary
for the residence of the one approved commissioner
of up to one quarter mile outside the City limits.
Section 3.29.200 is revised to remove the separate
public hearing requirement for the Utility Users Tax
(UUT) and include review of the UUT in two public
hearings held for development of the annual budget.
Section 4.16.120 is revised to remove dumps,
and will add mobile disc jockeys (Mobile DJs)
to Tax Category XII.
Section 4.18.120 is revised to replace dumps
with mobile disc jockeys (Mobile DJs) in Tax
Category XII. The proposed changes will also set
the business tax rate for Mobile DJs as $75 for the
first day and $32.50 for each additional day. These
rates are equal to the existing rates for concerts and
dances. The proposed changes will also add a definition of theatrical performances.
Chapter 5.03 is revised to remove the 1986 ordinance language and will add additional language
from the Digital Infrastructure and Video Competition Act of 2006 (DIVCA) regarding encroachment permits and payment of late fees by state
video franchise holders.
Chapter 5.28 is revised to delete the chapter, given
it is now regulated by Chapter 5.40 (Solicitation),
adopted in 2008.
Chapter 5.38 is revised to add language addressing the purposes of the chapter, including language
to reduce the risk of fraud and larceny. The proposed changes also clarify the permit requirements
for fortunetelling businesses to require both a business license and a fortunetelling permit. The proposed changes also clarify the religious exemptions
for any potential Constitutional issues.
Section 5.40.010.F is revised to delete the language referencing leaflets and flyers because it conflicts with case law by the State Supreme Court and
U.S. Supreme Court.
Section 5.40.140 is revised to require persons selling food from vehicles to comply with the provisions of Chapter 8.04, which regulates mobile food
vendors (food trucks). Chapter 8.04 requires mobile food vendors to display their permits and a City
business tax certificate.
Section 6.12.010 is revised to add new subsection
D to Section 6.12.010 to define service animal,

22

using the same language as provided in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The proposed
language distinguishes a service animal from an
animal that provides emotional support, wellbeing, comfort or companionship.
Section 6.12.030 is revised to specify the exemption is for the licensing fees and adds police service
dogs to the above exemption. The new language
also replaces the term blind person with a person with a disability and removes language requiring proof of certification from a recognized
dog training institution.
Section 6.12.080 is revised to add specific requirements for service animals, using the same language as provided in the ADA. The new language
follows the ADA requirement for a service animal
to have a harness, leash or other tether and be under
the control of its handler. Under specific circumstances, a service animal may be off leash in public, but must still be under its handlers control. The
proposed changes also exempt police service dogs
from the leashing requirement when they are engaged in law enforcement activities.
Chapter 8.04 is revised to add language regarding
mobile food vendors and vending vehicles to allow
for and regulate food trucks within the City. The
changes include a requirement for all food trucks
to obtain mobile food vendor permits from the
Community Development Director. The new language also exempts food trucks from the Citys solicitation regulations. The new language further
exempts any publicly owned vending vehicles;
food trucks operating for private events; and food
trucks operating for special events in public areas
(e.g., block parties, parades, etc.). The proposed
changes also require written permission from a
public school for a food truck to operate within 300
feet of the school. Finally, the changes provide operating regulations, limiting the location of food
trucks with reference to businesses, intersections,
and bus stops.
Sections 8.08.255(B), 8.16.020(B.4), 16.087.030,
16.142.010, 17.168.020(B) and Chapter 12.26 are
revised to change the language from Director of
Community and Human Services to Director of
Community Services.
Chapter 8.20 is revised to delete the Chapter from
the Municipal Code due to it being nearly identical
to the language in subdivisions G and H of Section
12.26.090.
Chapter 9.80 is revised to add language to more
specifically identify the prohibited conduct and
clarify the exceptions for such conduct to allow for
legitimate free movement in public. The proposed
changes also add language that clarifies the actions
to be taken by police officers in enforcing these regulations. The proposed changes also include a severability clause so that if any part of the ordinance
is challenged and found to be unenforceable, the remainder will be valid and enforceable.
Section 9.92.010 and 11.02.030 are revised to incorporate paintball and airsoft guns into the list of
prohibited weapons. Although these two weapons
are generally prohibited under the current code language, they are not specifically named in the code.
Section 10.08.050 is revised to eliminate the appointment by the City Manager and designates the
City Engineer to serve as the City Traffic Engineer.
The proposed language also states that all references to City Traffic Engineer shall mean the City
Engineer.
Section 10.32.025 is a new section that authorizes
the City Engineer to restrict parking on residential
streets on days scheduled for street sweeping and/or
collection of trash and recyclable materials. Under
this new section, the City Engineer may place signs
or markings on residential streets to restrict parking for street sweeping and/or trash and recyclable
materials collection.
Section 10.32.210 is revised to update the section
to include utilizing the Citys online Overnight
Parking (ONP) exemption system, available
through the Citys website, as a method for requesting an exemption. The proposed language
also clarifies that an exemption is per vehicle and
that the Police Chief makes the determination as to
whether a request for an exemption of longer than
three nights has demonstrated good cause.
Chapter 10.60 is revised to eliminate the licensing provisions for bicycles and retains the existing
sections regulating bicycle ways and bicycle parking zones.
Section 10.69.090 is revised to clarify that violations listed in this section pertain to resident parking permits. Also, the new language adds a
violation for selling, loaning or otherwise transferring a valid Wilderness Park/Thompson Creek Trail
residential parking permit to a third party. The proposed new language will also identify the specific
penalty for violations of this chapter.
Title 11 and Chapter 12.42 are revised to
change the language from Director of Community and Human Services to Director of
Human Services.
Section 11.02.040 is revised to separate the section into two subsections. The first subsection
contains the existing prohibition regarding missiles. The new second subsection prohibits operating a model rocket within any public park or
on any public highway.
Section 11.02.070 is revised to exempt from restrictions any maintenance personnel, law enforcement personnel, or persons responding to an
emergency situation that requires vehicular access
in a City park.
Section 11.02.120 is revised to add exemptions
for: (1) service animals that are accompanied by
their handlers and following the Citys leashing
requirements, and (2) for police service dogs engaged in law enforcement duties in public parks.
Section 11.10.070 is revised to incorporate paintball and airsoft guns and compound bows into the
list of prohibited weapons. Although these
weapons are generally prohibited under the current code language, they are not specifically
named in the existing section.
Section 11.10.120 is revised to add an exemption for police service dogs engaged in law enforcement duties is the Claremont Hillsides
Wilderness Park. The proposed language will also
require persons with horses and exotic pets in the
park to clean up after their animals.
Section 12.04.090 is revised to add a reference to
the existing appeal procedures in Chapter 16.321
for appealing any denial of an excavation permit.
Title 14 is revised to delete the title as the municipal solar utility has never been implemented.

meeting to be held on Tuesday, November 25, 2014, at
7:00 p.m., at the Claremont City Hall, Council Chambers, located at 225 West Second Street, Claremont, California 91711, the City Council of the City of Claremont
intends to consider adopting resolutions of necessity for
the taking by eminent domain of Golden State Water

Tom and Nancy were a pleasure to work with. We were


shocked at how quickly the whole process happened...
from meeting with them, to taking pictures, to selling our
house on the first day of listing, and then closing escrow
30 days later. They were always quick to respond to
questions and had more than helpful advice for us. Their
experience and professionalism was evident in every interaction we had with them. We would not hesitate to use
them again, or refer them to family and friends. Thank
you, Tom and Nancy! (D2335)

I could not ask for a better and smoother transaction experience than Nancy and Tom. As the first time selling my
house, I had no idea what needed to occur. From the moment I met them, I knew they were sincere and will do their
best to help me get my house sold. My house was listed and
went into escrow in one week ABOVE my asking price. Nancy and Tom are very fair, very responsive, and very knowledgeable. You will not go wrong with them as your realtors.
If I ever need a property in Claremont again, I will definitely
be going to them to represent me. (S2551)

I can't thank Nancy and Tom enough for all the work
that they did representing me in the purchase of my
lovely home. They were absolutely, 100 percent professional and caring and wonderful to deal with. The
whole process was handled by them in a very professional manner. I highly recommend you to get advice
and possibly use them in the purchase of your next
home. (V720)

Nancy and Tom Telford are an extremely professional real


estate team, who were both personable and helpful in the
sale of our home. They handled the details of the process
efficiently and quickly. I was especially impressed with
their excellent marketing outreach efforts, which allowed
qualified buyers to find the home. The entire activity concluded smoothly in a short window of time, allowing us to
move onto the next stage in our lives. You will not be disappointed if you choose the Telfords. (E2505)
