Dont give up on police station
Proposed park hours
Dear Editor:
I truly hope and pray that our wonderful Claremont police officers are not
daunted by the failure of Measure PS this
past Tuesday. After all, Thomas Edison
had 1,000 ideas for the light bulb rejected
before he finally saw the light (pun intended!).
Those who voted against the measure
probably have the same notion: Yes,
Claremont needs a new police station but
no, this was not the way to do it. I believe that an alternative idea will be
brought forth by those who are considering the new police station.
City Councilmember Sam Pedroza
was right when he said that, at the very
least, a need for a new police station has
been established. As a resident of Claremont for over 30 years, I am well aware
of what our city needs as far as facilities
are concerned; I know that other alternatives will be forthcoming.
Mr. Pedroza also stated that the city
council will be discussing alternate funding mechanisms. I will be pulling for the
city council to come up with a plan to establish a new police facility...a plan that
will please all sides.
On a side note, I saw that only 3,259
voters cast a no vote and that was 72
percent of the voters. This concerns me
because I know that the city has more
registered voters than this. I knew going
in that this measure would probably not
get much attention because that was the
only item on the ballot. I certainly hope
voters did not decide to cast a ballot because of this. Our city needs better voter
support.

Dear Editor:
What a difference an hour makes. The
draft Master Plan for management of the
Claremont Hills Wilderness Park (section
5.2.17) proposes to close the main entrance gate at Mills Avenue a full hour
before the park closes. Closing the gate
early will negatively impact a wide variety of park visitors, not all of whom aim
to complete the Loop.
There is much to enjoy within just a
few minutes of the gate. Those of us who
visit just before dusk appreciate what a
rich time that is to observe wildlife, to
appreciate the last light on the hillsides
and to transition from workday to
evening. Early closure of the main gate
will disproportionately affect working
people, parents and their children and
local school teams, none of whom are
likely to be able to access the park in
midday.
Finally, many park usersincluding
those who run, bike or ride horsesare
more than capable of completing the
Loop in an hour or less.
Closing the park an hour earlier each
day amounts to the equivalent of more
than 15 days of park closures annually.
If the motivation to close the park
early is to reduce impacts on neighbors,
other solutions are more direct and effective. We can work together to educate
park visitors who arrive by automobile
that their park visit begins in the parking
lots.
To preserve that special hour, let the
main park gate stay open until the park
itself closes.

Teen found stabbed to death; brother arrested, charged with murder
14-year-old Claremont boy has

been transferred to Los Padrinos
Juvenile Facility in Downey after
being arrested Wednesday evening for the
stabbing death of his 15-year-old sister
Aspen Geurts.
The boy is being held at the facility without bail. He
will be arraigned later today on charges of murder, according to Lieutenant Mike Ciszek of the Claremont Police Department.
This is the first murder in Claremont since 2009.
Officers were called to a home on the 300 block of Andover Street at approximately 5:07 p.m. after receiving
reports of a stabbing, according to police. When officers
and paramedics arrived, they attempted to revive the victim, who was located in the back yard of the home. Suffering from multiple stab wounds, the victim was
pronounced dead at the scene.
The boy, determined later to be the brother of the victim, was seen walking away from the home with the
weapon in his possession. A third sibling and the parents
were not at home at the time, police said.
He was arrested by Claremont police on suspicion of
murder and was held at the Claremont jail until he was
transferred to Los Padrinos, Lt. Ciszek said.
According to an email sent out by Claremont High
School principal Brett OConnor, the deceased student
and the brother who was arrested had attended Chaparral Elementary and El Roble Intermediate School. Neither was currently enrolled at Claremont High School,
however, a third sibling currently attends CHS, Mr.
OConnor explained.
Because so many of our students know the family involved, we may have some shocked and grieving students at CHS today, he wrote. We will have extra
counselors on campus for the next few days to support
students and faculty.
Mr. OConnor asked parents, staff and community
members to be aware that kids express grief in many different ways. It is not uncommon for teenagers to exhibit
physical complaints, poor concentration, eating and

sleeping difficulties, increased irritability, emotional

numbing and muscle tension, he said.
Cantor Paul Buch of Temple Beth Israel reached out to
the community to say that clergy members of the Claremont Interfaith Council have connected with the police
department and CUSD and are available to counsel and
support those touched by this tragedy. He can be reached
at cantor@tbipomona.org or by calling (909) 626-6937.
Mr. OConnor encourages parents and teachers to keep
a closer eye on our kids to be sure they are appropriately
managing grief.
In the next few days and weeks, please pay attention
to any change in your students behavior, Mr. OConnor
suggested. Additionally, allow your student to express
their feelings without judgment. If you feel your student
needs to speak to someone at CHS, please notify their
guidance counselor. It is important that the entire community pull together during this difficult time.

Claremont voters say no to police station measure
laremont voters overwhelmingly rejected

Measure PS, a $50 million bond measure for a proposed new public safety facility,
on Tuesday.
More than 75 percent of voters said no

to the measure, compared to more than 24
percent who voted yes. In all, 4,590 Claremonters went to the polls, which represented about 21 percent of the 21,938
registered voters in the city.
The measure would have created a parcel tax to fund the building of a new police
station on Monte Vista Avenue, north of
the city yard. The fixed parcel tax was to
be $286 per year per parcel for 40 years.
Supporters of the measure gathered at
the home of Betty Crocker, co-chair of the
Yes on Measure PS Committee, to watch
the early returns. After the more than than
2,000 absentee votes were counted by
around 8:30 p.m., it became clear the
measure would not pass.
The mood at the PS headquarters was
that of disappointment, as supporters
talked about what went wrong and what
could be done in the future to pass a meas-

ure to fund a new police station.

Win or lose, weve raised awareness of
the need [for a new police station] in
Claremont. Now its a matter of how best
to fund it, PS supporter Frank Bedoya
said. Its not back to the drawing board,
its back to the table.
Councilmember Sam Pedroza, who

was on hand with fellow councilmembers
Joe Lyons, Opanyi Nasiali and Mayor
Corey Calaycay, echoed Mr. Bedoyas
sentiments.
Even though its a defeat, we really did
learn a lot, Mr. Pedroza said. The big
part is doneknowledge.
Throughout the campaign, voters expressed concern over certain aspects of the
measure, primarily the cost and how it was
to be funded. In town hall meetings with
city officials leading up to the election, residents expressed skepticism that $50 million was required to build a police station
for Claremont.
In a town hall meeting at the Hughes
Community Center on October 15, an ambiguous response from the measures planning committee to the question of a plan
B did nothing to assuage concerns.
In the following weeks, letters to the
COURIER showed residents strongly supported a new police station but most writers emphasized a desire for an alternative
financing plan.
One major talking point among residents against the measure was opponents
assertion that an average Claremont homeowner would pay the same amount per
year as Super King Market under the parcel tax funding mechanism. Some residents were concerned about the location
of the proposed facility and others were
not convinced the Claremont police
needed a 37,000-square-foot facility.
MEASURE PS/next page
CITY NEWS
MEASURE PS/from previous page
Public scrutiny of the measure was especially intense, given it arrived as Claremont is embroiled in a costly eminent
domain process against Golden State
Water Company over the citys water system.
In a press release provided by the city,
Mr. Calaycay expressed satisfaction at the
process, despite the measures loss.
Our city council ensured voters had the
facts before them, acted transparently and
firmly believed this financing decision
should be made directly by the residents
of our community, Mr. Calaycay said.
The voters have now spoken and that
was the citys original intentto provide
residents with the opportunity to have a
say in the future of their public safety facility.
As many residents have expressed, the
mayor believes the campaign clearly
demonstrated the need for a new police
station.
On behalf of the city, I want to thank
our residents for carefully considering this
measure and engaging in the civic
process, Mr. Calaycay shared. We received very constructive feedback from
residents. Even among opponents of the
measure, we heard over and over again
that a new facility is needed.
PS supporter Marci LuxemburgHorowitz has her suspicions as to why the
measure failed. Its how it needed to be
explained, she said.
Whatever the reason, she believes the
city should continue to pursue construc-

POLICE BLOTTER
Tuesday, October 27
Claremont police arrested a belligerent and combative Chino woman after
she got into a fight in front of El
Ranchero on Tuesday night. Ashley
Amaya, 26, started the brawl at approximately 9 p.m. When officers arrived,
they determined that Ms. Amaya not
only was intoxicated, but she had
driven her vehicle to the establishment
in the moments prior to the fight. She
was handcuffed and arrested on suspicion of DUI. While inside the squad
car, Ms. Amaya began banging her
head against the passenger window. Officers then restrained her with a hobble,
which binds the feet together and hooks
up to the handcuffs. Ms. Amaya was
then transported to jail but, as she was
being booked, she kicked an officer in
the shin. The officer complained of
pain and was transported to the hospital. The final tally for Ms. Amaya: DUI,
obstructing an officer, assault with great
bodily injury and assault on an officer.

A mysterious missing persons case
made its way into Claremont late Friday morning. At approximately 11:46
a.m., officers pulled over a blue Mercury Montego that was registered to
Jennifer Henry, a 42-year-old woman
missing out of Lakewood. Driving the
car was 35-year-old Pomona resident
Dlando Brooks. Ms. Henry was not in
the car at the time, and Mr. Brooks
could not provide any information on
her whereabouts, according to Lt.

Ciszek. Officers arrested Mr. Brooks
after discovering he had two outstanding warrants for his arrest from San
Bernardino County. Anyone with additional information regarding the case
should call the LA Sheriffs Department Lakewood station at (562) 6233500.
Saturday, October 31
An Oregon teen got into a heated
scuffle with his friends and police after
having way too much to drink early
Halloween morning. Abraham Wilson,
19, an Occidental College student originally from Hillsboro, Oregon, was out
with his friends on the 600 block of
north Amherst and was allegedly causing a disturbance. When officers arrived to assist campus safety at
approximately 3:15 a.m., Mr. Wilson
was uncooperative and combative with
officers, repeatedly screaming obscenities to police. When a friend tried to
calm him down, Mr. Wilson allegedly
took a swing at him in front of officers.
He was arrested for public intoxication
and spent the night at CPD jail to sober
up. When he awoke the following
morning, police say Mr. Wilson had no
recollection of the nights events and
had no idea where he was.
Sunday, November 1
Just a few moments after the end of
Halloween night, police arrested a
Claremont woman after they deter-
not a Republican issue; its a community

issue.
During a brief and emotional speech at
her home on Tuesday night, Ms. Crocker
aimed to offer hope for the future.
It is a dream that will happen here in

Claremont, Ms. Crocker said. Itll just
be a little longer campaign.
mined she had too much to drink and

rendered her a public danger. When police arrived to the house on the 500
block of San Jose at approximately
12:15 a.m., they determined that 28year-old Heather Van Ginkel had
punched another person in the nose following a heated argument. When police
entered the home to investigate, Ms.
Van Ginkel tried to block them by grabbing the officers forearm and turning
him around. She was handcuffed and
placed on the curb as police continued
their investigation. As this was happening, Ms. Van Ginkel stood up while still
handcuffed. When officers told her to
sit back down, she screamed an obscenity and lunged at them. She was then
placed in a squad car for resisting arrest, obstruction, assault on an officer
and public intoxication.

Meanwhile, on the northern end of
the city, officers arrested a drunk man
at Piano Piano after he got into a fight
with another person in front of the
building. It began at 12:36 a.m., when
officers responded to the scene and
began talking to the two men, one of
whom was 25-year-old Javier Pena of
Walnut. Mr. Pena was argumentative
with police, repeatedly hurling insults
and slurs at them as they tried to investigate the situation. At one point, he
called an Uber and officers were allowing him to leave the establishment. According to the report, Mr. Pena flicked a
cigarette and became more combative
when officers asked him to pick it up.
As he was stumbling toward the Uber,
Mr. Pena, who at this point was given
every opportunity to leave the situation

without handcuffs, turned around and
said to officers, You dont know who
youre f**king with, f**king f*****t.
That was the final straw; officers arrested Mr. Pea for public intoxication
and he was transported to CPD jail to
sober up. Police had no word on what
costume Mr. Pea was wearing or
where he placed in Piano Pianos costume contest.
* * *
Later in the day, at approximately
11:24 a.m., officers arrested a Los Angeles man for being drunk in public on
the corner of Foothill and Towne.
While traveling southbound on Towne,
officers noticed a man, later identified
as 67-year-old William Fedorka, stumbling across the crosswalk and falling
down in front of vehicles stopped at the
intersection. When officers engaged the
man, they noticed he had a strong smell
of alcohol. Mr. Fedorka, who according
to reports was in a wheelchair, was also
yelling at officers and generally acted
uncooperative during the situation.
When asked how much he had to drink
that night, Mr. Fedorka said, Nothing,
I just want to go home.
According to the report, Mr. Fedorka
repeatedly fell asleep as officers were
speaking with him. This was enough
for officers to conclude he was too
drunk to remain in public. He was arrested and transported to CPD jail.

EDUCATION
CEF unveils new strategic plan, gives more to schools
or a dozen years, the Claremont

Educational Foundation has helped
fund art, music and technology in
our local schools. This year is no different.
Last month, CEF representatives showed up at a

school board meeting with an oversized check, representative of the nonprofits annual donation to the district. The $199,600 gift brings the nonprofits lifetime
contribution to Claremont schools to $2 million.
The award will be put to good use by CUSD, and is
certainly a laudable achievement. But the nonprofit
wants to do more. With that in mind, CEF has created
its first strategic plan, an ambitious document providing the organization with a roadmap to follow in the
coming years.
The plan will be unveiled at the CEF Fall Reception,
set for Friday, November 13 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at
Garner House at Memorial Park.
The community is invited to the free and familyfriendly event, which will include live music and refreshments, including beverages provided by Dale
Bros Brewery.
A delegation from each school site will be on hand,
giving a tabletop presentation about a program or project made possible by the contributions of CEF.
In some cases, the displays will showcase the fruits
of a program the nonprofit piloted last year: minigrants awarded to educators with ideas yielding highimpact learning opportunities for students.
Four such grants were awarded in 2014, for a total of
$5,391. Efforts funded by CEF Innovation Grants include the creation of a community garden at Sycamore
Elementary School and historical research on the part
of CHS world history and English students, which they
presented during the schools yearly History Day.
Bob Fass is eagerly anticipating the schools presentations at the reception. We want the community to
understand what were doing tangibly, he said.
He is serving as CHS president, along with Richard
Chute and Nicole Oullette. Mr. Fass is director of leadership giving for the Webb Schools. Mr. Chute is director of development for the Planetary Society. Ms.
Ouellette is fund development manager at VNA Hospice & Palliative Care.
A key component of the shared presidency is moving forward with more energy. A lot of exciting things
need to happen, Mr. Chute said.
The trio hopes their collective fundraising expertise
will result in a greater level of grant-making, one of the
hallmarks of the Claremont Educational Foundations
strategic plan.
Innovation and partnership grants
The nonprofit is off to a great start. The recipients of
this years Innovation Grants will be announced at the
Fall Reception. CEF has expanded the program considerably, funding eight projects this time at a cost of
some $9,000.
The organization will also use the reception as an
opportunity to introduce the beneficiaries of a brandnew program, Community Partnership Grants.
CEF will award five grants, totaling $10,000, to
local nonprofits undertaking projects to enhance learning in the district.
As an example of a nonprofit directly supporting
CUSD, Mr. Fass cited CLASP (Claremont AfterSchool Programs). The volunteer nonprofit provides
after-school tutoring, mentorship and supervision to
local schoolchildren who are at risk of falling through
the academic cracks.
Thats an example of an organization that is doing
good and paralleling what were trying to achieve,
Mr. Fass said.
Adapting to change
A lot has happened since CEF was launched. California schools have jettisoned No Child Left Behind

Aleks Watkins and Ryan Tineo share a laugh after accidently spilling their sheet music on the floor Wednesday during an advanced band class at El Roble Intermediate School. Sheet music is among the teaching materials that the Claremont Educational Foundation funds.
California Consortium of Educational Foundations,

began by pointing the board to the work of some larger
foundationsranging from the Marin County and Palo
Alto districts in the Bay Area to closer neighbors like
the Manhattan Beach and Glendora districts.
After seeing what was possible, the executive board
agreed that CEF can and should do more.
When we went through the planning process, instead of thinking about how much more money we
wanted to raise, we thought about how much more do
we want to give away, Mr. Chute said.
Melanie Riley-Gonzalez directs her students in an advanced band class at El Roble. Ms. Riley-Gonzalez
says that most of the funding for middle school band
comes from parents, but she plans to ask CEF for a
grant to replace aging instruments.
legislation and adopted the new Common Core curriculum and its associated assessment. And while
scrambling for funds is the new normal, the district has
somewhat recovered from the crippling recession of
2008-2009, which was felt even earlier in the realm of
public education.
CEF came out of a crisis moment where save our
schools was the cry of the day, Mr. Fass said. Then
we moved to more of a maintenance model, where we
have contributed $200,000 per year to the district pretty
steadily. We know were not at save our schools anymore. It begs the question,What do we want to be?
CEF has done a lot to answer that question, beginning by slightly tweaking the organizations mission
statement, which now reads to protect and enrich the
quality of public education in Claremont through community involvement.
The only thing thats been added is that were acknowledging that community involvement is what
drives our workembracing the totality of how our
community comes together for our kids, Mr. Fass
said.
In June of 2014, the executive board of CEF held a
retreat to begin working on the new strategic plan. Kay
Sprinkel Grace, a consultant hired by the district to
help with the visioning process, guided their sessions.
Ms. Sprinkel Grace, who works closely with the
Strategy for the future

In the next three years, the organization hopes to go
from providing just over $200,000 per year in funding
for schools to $350,000 for schools and community
partners. That represents about a 75 percent increase.
Our goal is to give $330,000 for our core programs in art, music and technology as well as the
Teacher Innovation Grants, and $20,000 for Community Partnership Grants, Mr. Chute said. In practical
terms, this means increasing our total net revenues by
$50,000 each year for the next three years.That increase is expected to come from a combination of additional donations to CEF as well as increased earned
income from SLICE [CEFs summer enrichment program] and other activities.
CEF, which is almost completely volunteer-driven,
has set itself some high aims. Any new achievements
will only add to the organizations sterling record of
supporting public education in the City of Trees.
Earlier this year, Superintendent Jim Elsasser expressed his appreciation for all that the Claremont Educational Foundation has done for Claremont schools, in
a message posted on the organizations website.
Author and musician Mitch Albom said, The way
you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to
loving others, devote yourself to your community
around you, and devote yourself to creating something
that gives you purpose and meaning.This quote captures the essence of the Claremont Educational Foundation, Mr. Elsasser shared.The devotion they have
shown the students and staff of CUSD is evident to
all.And your support of CEF makes this possible.

Women bringing change to the world

by John Pixley
upreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor wanted to get up close and

personal.
I wish we could be closer to the audience, the US

Supreme Court Justice told Amanda Hollis-Brusky,
assistant professor of politics at Pomona College, as
they began their conversation in Bridges Auditorium a
couple weeks ago. It feels so far away up here.
They did look quite isolated and small as they sat in
their chairs on a small area rug, with a Pomona College banner as a backdrop, among the potted plants on
the huge, otherwise empty stage. It didnt help that the
orchestra pit separated them, like a moat, from the
huge audience that had gathered.
Justice Sotomayor got her wish. After Professor
Hollis-Brusky engaged with her on several questions,
the Associate Justice, one of the most important, most
influential people in the nation, was released to the
people. She excitedly explained from the stage that
she was doing something that her security people
doubtlessly didnt like, and then there she was, walking among the audience, not unlike Phil Donahue. Except, in this case, she was answering questions.
The students and the questions they asked were
pre-selected, so, yes, it was all a bit scripted and without surprise (no ranting and embarrassing, on-the-spot
questions here). Nevertheless, there was something
remarkable about this most powerful official who
makes decisions that impact all of our lives, walking
among us, shaking hands and touching shoulders,
having her picture taken with those asking questions,
like a dear, kind aunt, as she answered questions with
patience and ease. She could have called a student
mija, and this would have been no surprise, as Professor Hollis-Brusky looked on in wonder.
Which was exactly the point. As she writes about in
her memoir, My Beloved World, she comes from a
very average background, which included everyday
problems like poverty and diabetes. She also writes
about how her life has been far from averageone
observer
could say it has been extraordinarywith her being a
Hispanic woman from a poor neighborhood ending
up on the highest court of the land. It is important to
her, no doubt, that she be seen as a person like any of
us. And that any of us can accomplish great things.
Sometimes, more often than not, accomplishing
great things means simply doing ones best, making
the best of oneself, despite some or many ugly odds.
And this is even more evident in a more intimate setting than the imposing Big Bridges, at a place where
its a bit easier to get up close and personal.
Like the Athenaeum at Claremont McKenna College, which this fall has continued to feature women
who get a lot done, making life better for themselves
and others, even though being told they cant or
shouldnt. That theyre sharing their stories and being
cheered at what was once a mens school, remembered if not still known as the more conservative, jock
college in Claremont, is all the more remarkable.
Im not just talking about women like Nina Tandon
and Kris Perry and Sandy Stier. Ms. Tandon is one of
those rare women in an important, top role in science,
as the CEO and co-founder of EpiBone, the worlds
first company growing living human bone for skeletal
reconstruction. The other two, Ms. Perry and Ms.
Stier, were plaintiffs, along with a gay couple, in the
Proposition 8 case that wound up before the Supreme
Court (a circle nicely coming to a close here in Claremont with Ms. Sotomayors visit just over a week
later). It could be argued that these women and their
causes or paths are prestigious and not so surprising
features at the Athenaeum.
Im talking about women who are doing surprising,

are the last to be expected to speak out at a formerly
jock school and are doing everything they can to work
against such institutions and thinking.
One was Toshia Shaw, who not only runs WINGS
(Women Inspiring Noble Girls Successfully) but grew
up abused, a victim of human trafficking and sexual
slavery, like the women and girls the organization assists. She told her story, in very intimate and harrowing graphic termsquite up close and personal,
indeedof being demeaned and harmed and repeatedly told that she was powerless and would come to
nothing. She talked about fighting her way out of this
nightmare and getting the inspiration and courage to
help others who find themselves in the same situation.
Speaking out and making a lot of noise, a lot of uncomfortable, challenging noise, is what Olivia Gatwood and Megan Falley are all about. Performing as
Speak Like a Girl, they unloaded an hour of sharpedged, R-rated (some may say X-rated) poetry and
rapping. It definitely wasnt the usual, after-dinner
Athenaeum fare.
Ms. Gatwood and Ms. Falley didnt hold back at all
in reciting their poems, alternating with one another
and also doing so in tandem. Their in-your-face style
mirrored their urgent, passionate lines about being
judged on looks, about wanting and forever trying to
be perfect or more perfect, about living in a culture in
which rape is accepted as normal, even okay. There
was at least as much humor, along with plenty of fbombs, as there was outrage and desperation.
Like I said, it wasnt the standard after-dinner,
Athenaeum fare, and some still might not see it as the
standard CMC fare. But sometimes it takes someone
not being standarda Supreme Court judge answering questions while walking among the audience,
women telling stories and slamming about being
raped and abusedto open our eyes and maybe make
things better.

The next boondoggle

Dear Editor:
If its not one thing, its another, as my
grandmother used to say. On top of
Golden State Water Company charging
us more for using less, Southern California Edison is warning us that their rates
are about to rise. And if we dont like our
new bills, it will be our fault.
Among the ways to manage your energy, SCE informs us that washing
clothes in cold water will clean them just
as effectively. That is very interesting. I expect in their next communication they will
point out that cold showers are also to be
recommended. They were the norm for
many years in British boarding schools,
and look how well those chaps turned out
to be in running the empire on which the
sun never set.
If we complain that our electric bills
continue to rise above our budget despite
our efforts to manage our energy, SCE
will probably point out the advantages of
candles and coal fires. We seem to be at
the mercy of utility companies. As my
grandmother used to say, someone ought
to be spoken to.

Clean Power Plan

Dear Editor:
The League of Women Voters opposes
legislation in the US Senate that would undermine the Environmental Protection
Agencys (EPA) Clean Power Plan. We
urge all voters to contact our US senators
to ask them to veto such legislation.
The League of Women Voters has been
at the forefront of the environmental pro-
tection movement for decades, consistently supporting legislation to preserve

our nations natural resources and protect
public health. We support legislation that
seeks to safeguard our country from the
physical, economic and public health effects of climate change while also providing pathways to economic prosperity.
Climate change is a global catastrophe
on a historic scale that will change the
course of human life. Confronting climate
change means turning the rising tides, protecting us from dangerous extreme
weather, and cutting pollution. The impacts of climate change are costly and our
country cannot afford to put off action.
Carbon pollution is the number-one
contributor to climate change and power
plants are the largest source of industrial
carbon pollution in the US. The Clean
Power Plan will protect public health, create thousands of efficiency-related jobs, reduce electricity bills for Americans and deliver power reliably. The EPAs finalized
regulations to limit carbon pollution from
new and existing sources are the central
components of a plan that fights climate
change while strengthening the economy
and protecting public health.
The US is in a unique position to lead
the world in the fight against climate
changeits time we step up to the challenge. World leaders will head to Paris in
the coming weeks to set meaningful goals
to fight climate change. Significant steps
from the US to continue lowering emissions of dangerous greenhouse gasses
like the finalized regulations to reduce
carbon pollutioncould significantly impact discussions on the world stage.
The League hopes you will make a
commitment to support people not polluters by supporting EPAs Clean Power
Plan. We encourage you to oppose all attempts to overturn, limit or undermine
these important protections. The air we
breathe and the health of our constituents
depend upon it.

Fine-tuning the Claremont Wilderness Park Master Plan

by Lissa Petersen, President, Claremont Wildlands Conservancy Board
peaking for the Board of

Claremont
Wildlands
Conservancy (CWC), Id
like to commend the city council, staff and consultants for
their impressive work in crafting a draft of the master plan for
the Claremont Hills Wilderness
Park that will guide its management over the next 20 years.
We strongly support most of the recommendations in the draft as well as its
guiding principles: preservation, access,
stewardship, education and public engagement. We also support the drafts
three primary goals: to preserve the park
as an environmental resource; to manage
it for passive recreational uses (hiking,
biking, horseback-riding); and to minimize negative impacts on park neighbors.
Because of the significant and controversial increase in park visitors over the
past five years, these goals appear to be
in conflict: access vs. preservation, and
access vs. welfare of neighbors.
The citys consultants estimate 300,000
to 500,000 visits per year, with 85 percent
repeat visitors and 80 percent entering at
Mills Avenue to use the loop trail,
which begins and ends there. The loop
and the parks other main trails are wide
LA County fire roads, built to handle massive equipment.
If we see these large visitor numbers as
an asset rather than a problem, we may
find some reasonable solutions to the
perceived conflicts. After all, the fees
these visitors pay, totaling almost
$450,000 last year, are the primary source
of funding for managing the park. Furthermore, the parks regional attraction
helps Claremont win outside grants. Of
the nearly $20 million that has been spent
on expanding the original park since
1996, approximately 40 percent came
from state and regional sources. And not
only do visitors love the park and im-
VIEWPOINT
prove their own health, they become future advocates for its preservation.
Under the principle of stewardship, the
draft treats these park visitors as troublemakers to be controlled: Users shall not
negatively impact wildlife and surrounding properties. Instead, the large cadre of
repeat visitors may be seen as potential
stewards, who will promote a healthy
park culture of respect for nature, fellow
visitors, neighbors and the community.
One common concern some Claremonters have raised about the thousands
of visitors is that they are damaging the
park. However, the citys environmental
consultants for the master plan found the
parks biological and cultural resources to
be in good condition: visitor impacts
were considered minimal. These visitors tend to stay on the wide fire roads,
which can easily accommodate them.
Another concern is that trails are annoyingly clogged. But in surveys during
the summer of 2014 of over 2000 park
visitors, 93 percent indicated that the
number of other visitors did not negatively impact their experience. Many
wrote enthusiastic notes saying how much
they loved walking the loop.
The final concern is parking, and its a
serious one. The two lots at Mills have
177 spaces. Parking on most neighboring
streets is now restricted for residents only,
and the draft plan proposes extending the
restrictions. The lots are adequate to meet
demand except from 6 to 10 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. The draft plan proposes raising fees as the solution: from the
current $3 for four hours to $5; from $3
during peak periods to $10; and from
$100 for an annual car permit to $140.
Because the CWC supports the need to
balance the three primary goals of the
master plan, and because one of our two
goals is to advocate for recreational access, we oppose the proposal to raise fees.
The raise may produce the unintended

consequences of driving visitors away,
thereby reducing park revenues, or giving
them the incentive to park on other Claremont streets near other park entrances.
We advocate a better solution: to provide
adequate overflow parking for peak periods in spaces adjacent to the current lots.
The CWCs other primary goal is to
expand the park. We envision a grand, cohesive wilderness park that preserves
Claremonts hillsides from its eastern to
western borders. Currently, the park includes 2000 acres, but about 800 acres of
our hillsides remain in private hands. Outstanding development credits allow for
building about 110 new housing units on
these lands.
On this issue, we believe the citys draft
plan is rooted in the present and needs
greater vision for the next 20 years. It
briefly acknowledges the value of enlarging the park to preserve more of the
hillsides from development; however, expansion is not included as a goal or even
a desired outcome. It must be!
In our view, three other critical issues
need attention as the plan is being revised.
First, the draft ignores the perspective
of the park as one part of an extended
wildlands corridor along the San Gabriel
foothills. This broader vision involves
building a strong network with neighboring communities and with nonprofit and
governmental agencies to find solutions
that expand and link wilderness areas
while balancing recreational access and
preservation.
Secondly, the draft unnecessarily limits the effort to provide flexible and sustainable park funding for the next 20
years. It specifies that revenues for managing the park must come solely from its
own parking fees and citations, precluding any expenditure from the General
Fund. This stricture ties the hands of future city council members, who may have
the resourcesand the willto supplement park revenues with General Fund
monies in order to acquire a hillside parcel, for example, or to control an invasive
plant species.
Thirdly, the final master plan should
outline a clear mechanism for how the
park will be governed.
The draft takes two steps in the right direction by identifying the Community
and Human Services Commission and
staffs as responsible for the management
of the park and by proposing a community support group, Friends of the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park. But roles
and responsibilities remain vague.
Three factors are critical for successfully implementing the master plan: 1)
Specified staff members must take responsibility for its implementation so that
it doesnt just gather dust on a shelf, and
2) Community members with everyday
experience of the park and insight into
trail conditions, facilities and natural resources must be given clearly defined,
ongoing advisory roles. We propose fleshing out these two features of the plan and
adding one more: 3) A provision for periodic surveys to gather information for future decisions on park use and parking.
Currently under revision by city staff,
the draft master plan will be reviewed by
two commissions this winter before going
to the city council for approval in early
2016. We encourage residents to study it
and to share their views. The city managers office is still accepting public comments on the draft, which is available on
the citys website.
The Claremont Wildlands Conservancys full response to the draft is on the
Claremont Wildlands Conservancy website, www.claremontwildlands.org.
Claremont Kiwanis to open

holiday Sees candy store
The Kiwanis Club of Claremont will open its annual holiday Sees candy store on Thursday, November 19. The shop is located at 909 W. Foothill Blvd.,
Claremont in the Sprouts Shopping Center. The store
will be open every day from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. through
December 24, except for Thanksgiving.
The pop-up shop is staffed entirely by volunteers
from the Claremont Kiwanis Club and the clubs
sponsored student group members, the Circle K at the
Claremont Colleges and the Key Clubs at Claremont
High School and San Antonio High School.
All profits from the store will be used to support
the mission of Kiwanis: Serving the children of the
world, one community and one child at a time. Locally, the Claremont Kiwanis works in partnership
with the Claremont Unified School District, the city
of Claremonts youth and senior programs, the Claremont Educational Foundation and many other nonprofit groups. Local businesses wishing to place
advance orders may contact the project chairman
Neal Coble at (909) 228-9760.
Veterans Day ceremony

take place at Memorial Park on Wednesday, November 11 at 11 a.m. For more information, call the
Hughes Community Center at (909) 399-5490.
City purchases new and

improved sanitation trucks
The city recently purchased three new sanitation
trucks to replace existing trucks that have exceeded
their useful life, according to the city managers report. The three new trucks will be used for residential
trash service starting the first week of November. The
new vehicles run on compressed natural gas fuel, with
the tanks mounted low on the truck body. Mounting
the tanks lower improves maneuverability, reduces
the risk of rollovers and minimizes conflicts with city
trees due to the lower profile. The new trucks also
feature right-hand drive, providing drivers with better
visibility and safer access to containers.
In an effort to improve the fleets appearance, the
new trash trucks are painted green instead of the traditional white. The sanitation division will continue to
convert its fleet to this new standard as vehicles come
due for replacement. The purchase price of the vehicles was partially offset by the Mobile Source Reduc-

The Memorial Infirmary

by John Neiuber
s I work in my study researching

this column, I start to think about
Dr. Morrill Ilsley, who came to
Claremont in the 1920s to serve as the college physician and who once lived in my
house.
Dr. Ilsley conducted his practice in the very same
room where I write. I begin to think about how so
many things become interconnected in a small town,
probably more like three degrees of separation rather
than the standard six degrees of separationthe theory
that everyone and everything, by way of introduction,
is six or fewer steps away from any other person in the
world.
Dr. Ilsley most likely received students in his office
(my study), and in the days prior to the antibiotics and
the treatments we have today, when someone had an
infectious disease, in order for them to not infect everyone else, isolation was the preferred solution to protect
others. For students in the Claremont Colleges, which
at the time consisted of Pomona, Scripps and the Graduate School, it would have been difficult to isolate them
in their dorms.
It stands to reason that if Dr. Ilsley needed to use isolation, he would have had students admitted to the Memorial Infirmary, a little-known historical and architectural gem that still stands today. The Colleges built the
infirmary in an isolated area in 1930, to address the
need warranted when infectious diseases such as the flu
could spread rapidly and result in high death rates in
the general population.
The Memorial Infirmary is located north of Foothill
Boulevard, set far back and hidden from the street in a
grove of trees in what is now the Robert J. Bernard Biological Field Station. The Infirmary was a gift of Mr.
and Mrs. Hiram T. Cleaver in honor of Colonel Seeley
W. Mudd, a trustee of Pomona College who served on
the Committee on Future Organization, which formed
the Claremont Colleges in 1925. The group system
of colleges was the vision of then Pomona College
President James Blaisdell, who had modeled it after the
constituent colleges of Oxford University in England.
Needing to site the infirmary away from the Colleges, the area north of Foothill was a perfect location.
Sometimes referred to as the Scripps Infirmary, this
name is logical in that it was built on a portion of the
250 acres that was purchased with a gift from Ellen
Browning Scripps. The 250 acres purchased included

Indian Hill, part of which later became the now-closed
golf course, The Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden
and the Bernard Field Station.
The 8000-square-foot infirmary consisted of two
wings, each with a solarium at the end and each with
10 beds, one wing for women and the other for men.
Hospital offices, treatment rooms and the services area
occupied the center spaces that extended from the central entrance. Opening in 1931, the Memorial Infirmary
was designed by the renowned Pasadena architects,
Marston and Maybury. The building design, Spanish
Colonial Revival, was a favorite of the architects. The
roof is red tile and the parapet walls extend at either
end of the wings. The building entrance has a gable
roof, flanked by two fireplaces, a porch with four
columns and a double-door entry.
In keeping with the degrees of separation theme,
Sylvanus Marston did not just happen to come to
Claremont in search of work. He lived in Pasadena and
graduated from Pasadena High School in 1901. He
then attended Pomona College for two years before
heading to Cornell University, where he graduated in
1907 with an architecture degree. He then returned to
Pasadena where, with his first partner Garret Van Pelt
and later with Edgar Maybury, his firms designed over
1,000 structures, mostly in Pasadena, but also in Hancock Park, Bel-Air, Claremont and Santa Cruz.
In 1937, Marston and Maybury also designed the
student union building at Pomona College, more commonly known as The Coop. Like many architectural
firms that came first to Claremont to work with the
Colleges, Marston and Maybury expanded beyond the
Colleges footprint. Hermann and Bess Garner hired
the firm to design the Padua Hills Theatre in 1930. Often attributed to the naming of the Marston Quadrangle
at Pomona College, there is actually no connection.
The Quad was named after George White Marston, a
trustee of and donor to Pomona College.

The Memorial Infirmary in 1931.
The building was used as an infirmary for the Claremont Colleges consortium until the 1960s, when it was
closed due to new seismic code requirements for hospitals. In the early 1970s, the hospital was firebombed as
part of a student protest. The fire caused considerable
damage to the entrance and it was declared unsafe to
occupy by the city in the late 1980s. Afterwards, the
Colleges sought to demolish it but, because of its historical significance, a permit was denied. It has set unused and boarded up for almost two decades.
Fast forward to the present and the Memorial Infirmary is about to have new life breathed into its decaying existence. The 12-acre parcel on which it sits was
purchased by Pitzer College and will be renovated to
house the Robert Redford Conservancy for Southern
California Sustainability. The Conservancy is an extension of Pitzers sustainability commitments and is intended to address the challenges facing urban populations and as a laboratory to create innovative
approaches for sustainability initiatives. Long known
for its core values of social responsibility and environmental sustainability, Pitzer is exercising a core, sustainability principle of the preservation movement
adaptive reuse of historic buildings.
It is not enough for institutions to just tout their new
LEED-certified buildings to be responsible stewards of
sustainability tenets. If an historic building is demolished and replaced by a new building, the embodied
energy of the historic building is lost, right along with
the architecture and the contextual link to the history
and events that occurred in that building. None of that
can be recovered...ever. Kudos to Pitzer and the Robert
Redford Conservancy for saving The Memorial Infirmary.

Celebrating CLASP: 10 years

of making a difference
Claremont After-School Programs is celebrating 10
years of providing after-school tutoring to at-risk students in the Claremont Unified School District. This
special celebration will take place at a private Padua
Hills home on Sunday, November 8 from 3 to 5 p.m.
Past presidents Carole Harter, Lissa Petersen,
Suzan Smith and Teddie Warner will be honored at
the event. Festivities will include gourmet delights,
wine, good company and live entertainment by the
Citrus Jazz Combo. Guests will have the opportunity
to bid on a three-night weekend stay at a beautiful
Dana Point beach house.
In 2005, CLASP was formed by merging two programs, Claremont Tutorial Centers and the Youth
Wellness Center, into one program that then served 60
students two days a week at three sites. Last year,
CLASP offered tutoring programs three days a week
at five sites, reaching 166 children who worked with
more than 260 community volunteers of all ages,
making CLASP an intergenerational program.
CLASP provides tutoring, recreation, a healthy
snack, enrichment and transportation. It serves kindergarten through sixth grade students in the Claremont
Unified School District who need academic support,
and it remains the only nonprofit, non-sectarian organization in Claremont to offer after-school homework help to CUSD students.

Pomona Valley Hospital

receives certification for pulmonary rehabilitation program
Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center (PVHMC)
has announced the certification of its pulmonary rehabilitation program by the American Association of
Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation
(AACVPR). PVHMC was recognized for its commitment to improving the quality of life by enhancing
standards of care.
PVHMCs cardiovascular rehabilitation program
was also recertified, making it one of only 13 California hospitals and one of three Los Angeles County
hospitals to have both its cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation programs certified by AACVPR. The cardiovascular program has maintained certification
since 2000.
Cardiovascular and pulmonary rehabilitation programs are designed to help people with cardiovascular problems (e.g., heart attacks and coronary artery
bypass graft surgery) and pulmonary problems (e.g.,
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD], respiratory symptoms) recover faster and improve their
quality of life. Both programs include exercise, education, counseling and support for patients and their
families.
AACVPR-certified programs are recognized as
leaders in the field of cardiovascular and pulmonary
rehabilitation because they offer the most advanced
practices available. AACVPR program certification is
valid for three years.

Homegrown talent wins taste test for best bartender
Billy Haig, right, formerly of Eureka Burger and current owner of The State in Redlands, finishes up preparation of his drink with Drew Saylor.
ts officialthe best bartender in the Inland Valley

works in the heart of
Claremont.
The Whisper Houses Peter Barriga
was declared the winner of the inaugural Inland Empire Battle for the Best
Bartender contest after creating a delicious Irish whiskey-based cocktail.
It feels great, Mr. Barriga said. I
definitely put a lot of effort into it.
Kim Peeples, co-owner of Vom
Fassa shop specializing in spirits,
oils, vinegars and gourmet foodscreated the event as a way to showcase the
talent the Inland Empire has to offer.
The event was the culmination of a
month-long online voting process in
which thousands of people participated
to choose their favorite spirit-slinger.
Mr. Barrigas as-of-yet unnamed
drink beat the concoctions of two Redlands-based bartenders, one with ties to
Claremont: Billy Haig, formerly of Eureka Burger and current owner of The
State, and Dean DiTrapani, head of the
cocktail program at Rok N Fondue. Mr.
Barriga himself used to work at Eureka
with Mr. Haig.
The event also coincides with Vom
Fass two-year anniversary in Claremont.
Oh my gosh, the event has been so
successful, Ms. Peeples said. Each
[drink] was different, unique, delicious.
Even for myself, I voted, but it was a
hard choice to pick.
The special guest of the event was
Jack Teeling of Teeling Whiskey, a
Dublin-based distillery that sells its
products at Vom Fass franchises. Mr.
Teeling arrived in Claremont from Ireland to judge the cocktails and provide
exclusive Teeling whiskey tastings for
lucky Claremonters.
I think the whole craft cocktail
scene in America is very interesting,
Mr. Teeling said. And for me, craft
cocktails is all about ensuring that the
spirit that you use, the base spirit, is not
hidden away or overpowered by the flavors you add in.
Dean DiTrapani, head of the cocktail

program at Rok N Fondue, created this
cocktail the Long Ireland.
The top three bartenders were required to use any of the three whiskies
Teeling provides at Vom Fass: Jacks
Choice, a 14-year-old single malt;
Stephens Choice, a five-year-old single
malt named after Mr. Teelings younger
brother and business partner; and
Brothers in Arms, a 14-year-old single
malt whiskey aged in bourbon and
sherry casks.
[The three cocktails] tasted very
much like our whiskey, but they had
other things that made them a little different, a little more interesting, Mr.
Teeling said. And very refreshing for
the kind of lovely climate that you guys
have here.
hen Mr. Barriga

said he put a lot of
effort into his winning drink, he wasnt exaggerating; he spent an impressive
amount of energy preparing for
the event, coming in to Vom
Fass and sampling Teeling
whiskies to get a feel for the
taste and nuances of each
spirit.
Mr. Barrigas winning entry was simple in appearance, but complex in flavor and execution. The star ingredient
besides the Jacks Choice whiskey is a
tincture or alcohol extract he made
from coffee, limes, chili flakes, habanero oil, cardamom, vanilla, cinnamon and allspice. Mr. Barriga used
Everclear to extract the flavors.

The Whisper Houses Peter Barriga was declared the winner of the inaugural Inland Empire Battle for the Best Bartender contest after creating a delicious Irish
whiskey-based cocktail.
Melissa Ciagwa from Buttercup Catering samples a Long Ireland by bartender finalist Dean DiTrapani of Rok N
Fondue.
It takes three to four weeks to actually make it, Mr. Barriga said. You
have to run cheesecloth through it.
There was a little water added to it to
take away from the heat.
Twelve drops of the tincture goes
into each cocktail, along with a halfounce of banana liqueur and two
ounces of Jacks Choice whiskey. Its
stirred and served up, like a Manhattan.
I wanted to make it as difficult as
possible, Mr. Barriga said. It was important that I didnt take away from the
actual purity of the whiskey and enhance the whiskey. I felt like it made the
most sense to make an aromatic or old
fashioned-style cocktail, which this is.

The final product is pale yellow in
color, with each ingredient serving to
complement the whiskey. Mr. Teeling
was immediately impressed with Mr.
Barrigas drink.
The first cocktail was made for
Jack. And he said right off the bat that I
didnt take away from his spirit and as
far as Im concerned, you already
won, Mr. Barriga said before being
crowned the winner.
Mr. Barriga received some useful
swag for winning the competition: an
engraved silver shaker and $100 gift
card to spend at any Vom Fass location.
After the success of the premiere bartender face-off, Ms. Peeples promised
the event will grow in the future, possibly encompassing a larger area with
more talented bartenders in competition.
I want this to turn into an annual
event and bigger than our store, Ms.
Peeples said. Get others involved,
maybe some other restaurants, and take
this to an even bigger mixology event
next year.

Volleyball team ends on high note, readies for CIF play

he Claremont High School girls

varsity volleyball team won their
final match of the season, 3-0,
against visiting Diamond Bar in front of a
large home crowd Tuesday.
Diamond Bar never really posed much of a threat as

in a pregame ceremony where they were presented with
flowers and posed for photos with their families.
The senior players spontaneously decided to honor
their number-one fan, Jim Timpane, asking that he join
them for a photo under a balloon arch stretched across
center court. Mr. Timpane has attended nearly every
game for the past 21 seasons, beginning in 1995 when his
daughter was a freshman on the Claremont team.
In an effort to give his seniors, including those who
dont normally start, maximum court time, coach Mark
Mina had his team in a constant rotation throughout the
night. Every handful of plays he was substituting one or
even two players.
Since it was senior night we wanted to honor them.
We happen to have six [seniors] and I played all six, he
explained. In volleyball, the players move from one position to the next as the game progresses. However, since
some of the seniors dont play well in all positions, Coach
Mina substituted them to avoid creating a weakness. We
wanted them to play, but we didnt want to lose, he said.
The girls started the first set with a comfortable lead
going ahead 13-5 but were a bit too jovial on the court
which caused them to lose focus, and Diamond Bar came
back with a flurry of scoring. The Brahmas nearly tied
the game at 14-13 when Wallaces strong serve put
Claremont well ahead, and this time they didnt look
back. A big block from Wallace was all they needed to
put the first game in the books.
The second set saw the best competition of the night
with Diamond Bar matching Claremont point for point
until Claremont pulled ahead by seven points and was
on the verge of victory when the Brahmas came roaring
back. Starting at 24-17, Diamond Bar won the next five
points until Bird got a kill to put the set away.
The final set was all Claremont, with some great plays
from sophomores Kylie Robinson and Emilee Rohrer.
However, it was apropos that senior Frias got the last
point of the night with a kill up the middle.
Despite limited court time, junior Simone Bliss had a
game-high of 12 kills from 24 attempts; Frias came in
just behind with eight kills. Wallace also had a solid night
with 22 assists, while Jackson came up with 10 digs.

Commission scrutinizes museum plans, open for public review
he Claremont Architectural Commission pored

over the plans for the
proposed Pomona College Museum of Art during their October 28 meeting.
Representatives of the city, the college
and the architectural firm behind it,
Boston-based Machado Silvetti, made the
extensive plans for the museum available.
No voting took place at the meetingthe
commissions job was to act in conjunction with the citys Planning Commission
to look over the museum plans.
Three commissionersMark Schoeman, Maureen Wheeler and Benjamin
McCoywere not present at the meeting, recused due to a conflict of interest,
according to commission chair James
Manifold.
One of the items scrutinized by the
commission and the public was the location of the proposed museum.
Under the current plan, the museum
will be built on the west side of College
Avenue, between Bonita and Second.
The location calls for the moving of the
historical Renwick House, slightly south
and across the street above the softball
field. The white cottages directly north of
the housecurrently being used as student housingwill be demolished, according to the plan.
Jennifer Trotoux, an architectural historian and Scripps College alumna, was
on hand to present an environmental impact report (EIR) determining how the
proposed move will affect the historic
Queen Anne-style home, built in 1900.
Ms. Trotoux concluded it would not affect the historical integrity of the house,
nor the area surrounding it.
Also in the updated EIR was an assessment of Pomona Colleges sewer system. The revised EIR, made public on
October 19, found existing and expected future capacity deficiencies with
the sewer system supporting the college.
Flow monitoring will be performed
sometime between October and April
for one week to assess the sewer lines
and to see if any changes or upsizing
needs to be done.
Ms. Trotouxs clalim about Renwicks
suggested move was not shared with
many of the speakers during public comment. Some, such as Claremont Heritage
director David Shearer, were worried
about the move ruining the historical significance of the house, as well as the
proposed zone change.
To be frank, the latest iterations of the
EIR and the master plan have only added
insult to injuryto the citizens of Claremont, our city staff, our city council and
commissions such as this, Mr. Shearer
said.
During discussion, commission member Marta Perlas asserted she was torn
about the proposed location of the museum, adding that she understands the
reason why the museum should be there,
but later claiming she wasnt sold on the
idea of moving Renwick across the street
to the softball field.
Commission member Clive Dym said
he was inclined to move ahead with the
plan, along with the updated EIR, and
also insisted members of the public who
spoke out against moving Renwick
arent immediately impacted by the
move.
Pomona College Master Planner Scott
Smith stated the location is important because it serves as a link between the college and the community, a point Mr.
Manifold agreed with, calling it, campus
planning 101.
After a brief recess, Jeffry Burchard,
principal architect with Machado Silvetti,
presented the blueprints for the art museum. Mr. Burchard highlighted the num-

Claremont Heritage
ber of amenities the museum is set to
have, including a center square for events
and classes, art halls, office space, art
vaults and a portico. Mr. Manifold
stressed the importance of going over the
details of the proposed museum.
This is our chance to give some feedback to the applicant and the architect before they go too far through the design
process, where it would be really hard to
reverse gears later down the line, Mr.
Manifold emphasized.
The main entrance to the museum is
planned for Bonita Avenue, with a secondary entrance on College. The Bonita
entrance was originally created to attract
more Claremont community members to
the site.
The choice of this site is remarkable
and extremely challenging, but it presents
many great opportunities for the college
and the community in that it situates itself
as kind of a civic zone in the east village,
which includes the post office and the
city hall, the library and Shelton Park,
Mr. Burchard said. Its also great in providing programmable open space to this
area as opposed to a blank open space

thats on the site now.
During public comment, many of the
speakers relayed concerns with parking
in and around the museum site, with
Karen Rosenthal calling for two-hour
parking along College and Bonita avenues to potentially free up space for visitors. Commissioner Clive Dym noted
the museum would open at 1 p.m., well
past the morning parking grind.
In reviewing the site itself, the commission didnt hold back from criticisms
of the museums design, save for Mr.
Dym. Ms. Perlas called the design disappointing and claimed to have expected more from Machado Silvetti.
Ive seen a lot of their work and its
very impressive, and I sort of feel like it
fell short in Claremont, Ms. Perlas said.
I understand the reasoning behind why
the building has been designed the way it
is, but I also think that theres a lack of
understanding in how the city behaves urbanistically around this area.
Ms. Perlas was also not a fan of the
Bonita Avenue entrance, an opinion
shared by Mr. Manifold and commission
member Bob Perry. Mr. Perry, in his assessment, criticized the building as, not
an elegant experience and a very utilitarian walk.
Mr. Dym had kinder words for the
plan, noting he liked the basic design of
the building.
The commission will take its notes to
the Claremont Planning Commission for
further review.
The full master plan is open for review to the public now through December 3 at Claremont City Hall, the Claremont Library, the Hughes Community
Center and Youth Activity Center. It can
also be viewed on the citys website at
www.claremontca.org.

he term marriage has different meanings to different
people. But the way marriage is portrayed in media has
changed too. Before there was Modern Familyeven
before Married With Childrenthere was Company.
In 1970 the groundbreaking musical comedy Company opened on Broadway,

taking a good look at marriage. Inland Valley Repertory Theater (IVRT) will open
its production of Company onstage at the Candlelight Pavilion, running Tuesdays
and Wednesdays through November 11.
The book by George Furth and music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim make
this groundbreaking musical comedy an often hilarious, occasionally heartbreaking, and completely honest look at relationships. Its single guy Bobbys 35th birthday, and hes celebrating with five married couples. Against this backdrop, we see
through Bobbys eyes the good, the bad and the sometimes ugly moments in the
lives of those he refers to as these good and crazy people, my married friends.
Celebrating the 25th anniversary, IVRT has become a critically-acclaimed regional theater company, garnering widespread honors for its theatrical works.

court approval. Before taking certain very important
actions, however, the personal representative will be
required to give notice to interested persons unless

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a CONTINGENT
CREDITOR OF THE DECEDENT, you must file
your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the
later of either (1) four months from the date of first

as defined in section 58 (b) of the California Probate
Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of
the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult
with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.
YOU MAY EXAMINE THE FILE KEPT BY THE
COURT. If you are a person interested in the estate, you
may file with the court a Request for Special Notice
(form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as
provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for

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

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 this property.
Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid
less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time
of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt.
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

premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase
this figure prior to sale. Beneficiarys bid at said sale may
include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the
Trustee will accept a cashiers check drawn on 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 association or savings bank
specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code
and authorized to do business in California, or other such
funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event
tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustees Deed Upon Sale until
funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all
funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidders sole and exclusive remedy
shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the
successful bidder shall have no further recourse. 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

The recent sale of our Claremont home presented some very

unique challenges. Carlos and Pat handled my former home
as if it were their own. They kept me informed,
responded with professionalism and reassurance, and made
sure that as their customers, my ex-husband and I were their
top priority. The house ended up selling for higher than
asking price. I recommend Carlos and Pat Samuelson with
complete confidence and a heart full of gratitude.
