Claremont residents display their Christmas spirit by setting up elaborate decorations in front of
their homes. Along Scripps Drive between Towne and Mountain avenues, above, neighbors have
joined the fun with fancy light shows that would make Santa Claus proud. Streams of kids of all ages
stop to admire the work of Santas helpers. Other bright spots to see holiday decorations can be
found along Towne Avenue, north of Foothill Boulevard and on the corner of Richmond Drive and
Whitter Avenue.

one hundred and seventh year, number 52
Dear Editor:
What a sweet deal! I do the job Im
supposed to do and for which I get paid
hundreds of thousands of dollars. When
the holiday season rolls around, I get a
huge present of thousands more, all paid
for with the publics tax dollar. But wait,
theres a hitch. This end-of-year hand-out
only goes to special people. If I am a police officer and do the job I agreed to do,
I dont get that big fat present at the end
of the year. Nor if I am a teacher, a street
sweeper or a clerk. In fact, if Im any
kind of lower-paid worker, it appears I
get no bonus at all.
The $28,646 bonus from the city
council to the Claremont city manager
reported in the December 18 edition of
the COURIER may be a deal, but its not
sweet. If were going to make gifts of
taxpayer funds to public employees
based on nebulous subjective criteria, a
practice which seems dubious to begin
with, then lets give them out equitably
and to people who really need them. The
city police, the maintenance people, the
clerksall contribute to the smooth
functioning of our community, not just
one person who was reported as already
receiving a seemingly exorbitant compensation of $331,356 for a years work.
Perhaps the response of the city council would be, But this is the way things
are done. If so, its time to reexamine
the practice. What is the logic, and the
ethics, of having a budget if money can
be whimsically pulled from it for gifts to
some but not others?
If merit bonuses paid from public
funds are an ethical and rationale approach to compensation for public employees, why does that reasoning not
hold for all city employees?

ADVENTURES
IN HAIKU
Call it what it is
Dear Editor:
Michael Valentine (COURIER, December 18) cannot see why liberals, including President Obama and Hillary
Clinton, refuse to speak of Islamic terrorism. He writes off not speaking that
way as a mixture of fear (of whom?) and
political correctness, a favorite rightwing term that takes the place of thinking.
On the contrary, there are perfectly
good reasons for not talking of Islamic
terrorism. ISIS, the Islamic State of Iraq
and Syria, wants to appropriate Islam in
support of terrorism and their attempt to
create a caliphate.
Millions and millions of followers of
Islam do not supportin fact, explicitly
rejectterrorist activities and, so far as I
can tell, the religion itself cannot be
tarred with that brush.
To talk as Mr. Valentine and others
want liberals to do is to attempt to associate Muslims and their religion with a particular group that also wants the religion
to be identified with their views and activities. In short, to so talk is to give ISIS
the status that they wish.
Imagine this: the Colorado Springs
Planned Parenthood shooter is a Christian and his reason for choosing that target was based on his religious views. In
fairness, if we speak of Islamic terrorism
we shouldthough Mr. Valentine and
fellows do notalso call Rob Dear a
Christian terrorist. But we all know that
he does not speak and act for Christianity
and for millions of Christians. So we
dont characterize him as a Christian terrorist. On Mr. Valentines principles, we
should.

Claremonters earn accolades, Grammy nominations
group of Claremont-based music

makers has created a dynamic
contemporary classical album that
could be seeing Grammy gold.
Nadia Shpachenko, a Claremont resident and professor of music at Cal Poly Pomona and Claremont Graduate University, has teamed up with a group of
classical talents to create an album that turns piano
music on its head. Woman at the New Piano is a collection of pieces that transport the listener to different musical worlds.
Now, Woman at the New Piano has been nominated
for three Grammy awards, including Best Classical
Compendium, Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble
Performance and Producer of the Year, Classical.
Well, for a couple of days I was so excited I
couldnt do anything, Ms. Shpachenko said when
asked about how she reacted to the Grammy nominations. My whole body was shaking. I had a big concert in New York, so luckily it only lasted two days.
Ms. Shpachenko says the idea of creating such an
album has long been with her, but the opportunity
arose only recently in 2013.
Ive been very active with composers and finally
the opportunity presented itself when I was on sabbatical, Ms. Shpachenko said. I thought, finally the time
has come and I can bring this music to life.
Ms. Shpachenko teamed up with Pomona College
music professors Genevieve Feiwen Lee and Tom Flaherty, as well as Ms. Shpachenkos husband Barry
Werger, who served as sound engineer. Mr. Werger is
as music technologist at Pomona College. The four collaborated with LAs Adam Schoenberg and Peter yates,
as well as New York-based composer James Matheson.
Through Pomona College, Mr. Flaherty said working with Ms. Shpachenko, Ms. Lee and Mr. Werger on
this album was a tremendous thrill.
Although the pieces have been performed dozens
of times by several different groups across the country
in the last year or so, the sort of music that I want to
write is not really designed to reach millions of listeners, he said. I was surprised and delighted to have
Nadias and Genevieves performance publicly acknowledged by the Grammy Foundation. They truly
own the piece.
Woman at the New Piano touches on themes of rebirth and transformation, ideas that came to Ms. Shpachenko after the supposed apocalyptic event of
December 21, 2012, the date when the Mayan calendar
was interpreted by some to herald the end of the world.
While no cataclysm ensued, there were other outcomes, Mr. Werger related.
The idea that inspired this CD was the end of 2012
and the beginning of a whole new world, Mr. Werger
said. And we gathered some composers together to
write about this new world.
The opening piece composed by Mr. Flaherty, Airdancing, features Ms. Shpachenko and Ms. Lee (on
the piano and toy piano, respectively) dueling across a
post-apocalyptic landscape, with occasional electronics
dotting across the works eight-and-a-half minute runtime. Ms. Shpachenko describes the theme as kind of
humorous, adding that the piano duet creates a fun atmosphere that sets the tone for the album.
Mr. Werger noted that, among other things, Mr. Flaherty was inspired by Felix Baumgartners famous skydive from a record-breaking 24 miles above the Earth
in 2012.
Its such a unique and imaginative piece, Ms. Shpachenko said. Tom Flaherty is an amazing composerhes like family as a person, so unique and
different.
Airdancing has been nominated for a Grammy for
Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble Performance.
The album was recorded in July of 2013. According to
Ms. Shpachenko and Mr. Werger, the goal of the

recording process was to make the listener feel like

every composition was recorded in the moment.
The idea was to capture the recording sounding
live, Ms. Shpachenko said. No spot-mics, finding
just the right spot to capture everything. Barry somehow captured everything in the most perfect way.
Creating such an engrossing sound takes time. Postproduction on the album lasted almost a year before the
CD was released.
It takes a lot of time and work to find out how these
ensembles come together and sound beautiful, Mr.
Werger said.
Ms. Shpachenko and her collaborators arent resting

on their laurels just yet. They are working on other
projects for 2016, with one album coming out in spring
and another in summer.
But for now, the groups labor of love has a chance
to become the top classical album in the world, and
Ms. Shpachenko couldnt be more thrilled.
It was a dream with this album. I feel so proud of
how it came out, Ms. Shpachenko said.

Claremont native named

police officer of the year
nine-year Claremont Police Department veteran has just

been named the departments officer of the year.
Officer Matt Hamill, who works in the departments traffic division, received
the award on December 17 after a vote among his peers at the station.
It was a big surprise and it was awesome, Officer Hamill, a Claremont native,
said. Its something that means a lot to me.
Officer Hamill first joined the department nine years ago, first as a jailer and
then as an officer after completing his training at the police academy. Mr. Hamill
continues a long legacy of law enforcementhis father was a Pomona police officer for 29 years before he retired.
In fact, it was his father who first tipped-off Officer Hamill to the jailer job in
Claremont.
I loved working in the jail but I always wanted to be a police officer, Officer
Hamill said.
He went through police training through the San Bernardino County Sheriffs
Academy, graduating in 2008. He was officially assigned to patrol in the Claremont Police Department that same year.
Officer Hamill has had quite a year in 2015. Most notably, he was assigned to
be a field training officer, which means hell be the officer who will train new recruits. Hell have his work cut out for him in 2016; the Claremont City Council
approved the hiring of a new police officer at the November 24 council meeting.
Officer Hamill rode his motorcycle in the Fourth of July parade and in the Special Olympics torch run parade. He also conducted bicycle safety presentations at
Claremont elementary schools throughout the year.
Officer Hamill has been a Claremont local all his life, attending Mountain View
Elementary, El Roble Intermediate and Claremont High School. He says this familiarity helps him in his day-to-day work.
Its always cool to serve the community where you grew up, he said, adding
he hopes to have a long career with the Claremont Police Department.

EDUCATION
By unanimous vote, CUSD will let the sunshine in at local schools
he December 17 meeting of the Claremont

Unified School District
Board of Education began
with a changing of the guards.
Newly-elected board member Beth

Bingham was adminisSCHOOL
tered the oath of office
BOARD
before taking to the
dais, as was re-elected board member
Hilary LaConte.
Having completed her term, Ms. LaConte called for nominations for board
president for the 2016 governing board
year. Nancy Treser Osgood was elected.
Newly-named vice president Dave
Nemer and board clerk Steve Llanusa
will provide support. Per usual, CUSD
Superintendent Jim Elsasser will serve
as board secretary.
That settled, the board got to work on
accomplishing something CUSD has
been eying for some time: a transition
to solar power.
The agenda included a board vote on
whether Claremont schools should sign
a contract with PFMG Solar. The companytouted as the number-one solar
provider for southern California school
districtshas already undertaken contracts with nearby districts like Pomona
Unified and Chaffey Joint Union High
School.
A solar solution
CUSD staffers and board members
have long expressed an interest in going
solar, but given the districts dearth of
capital funds, the endeavor seemed unfeasible.
Enter PFMG Solar, a company willing to help the district shrink its carbon
footprint and harness the sun for energy
savings at no out-of-pocket cost.
Heres how it works.
PFMG will start by doing a thorough
analysis of the sites under consideration,
researching energy usage analysis, cost
estimates, site analysis, environmental
impact reports, risk mitigation, transmission to grid studies and property easement.
This part of the process is crucial, Lisa
Shoemaker, assistant superintendent of
business services, emphasized.
What happens is you dont want to
oversize the solar, she said. If you
build too much solar and generate more
electricity than you need, youre paying
for panels and generating electricity
youre not using.
CUSD will then lease the solar arrays
from PFMG, which will be installed at
various sites with no money down. Its a
little complicated to the layperson, Ms.
Shoemaker admits: We are the host. We
dont own the solar panels.
The district has agreed to purchase the
solar power its own arrays generate
supplying an estimated 75 to 80 percent

of CUSDs energy needsfrom PFMG.
The remaining 15 to 20 percent of the
districts power will still be purchased
from Edison. Even with the cost of leasing the arrays, the charge for the solar
power is considerably cheaper than electricity bought through Edison, Ms. Shoemaker said.
The arrays, which have a lifespan of
20-25 years, are projected to save the
district $6 million in power over the next
25 years.
PFMG monitors each project 24/7 and
in 15-minute increments to make sure
everything is working smoothly. A service and maintenance team is at the ready
to repair any problems in the system and
perform preventative maintenance.
A show of support
Before the board made its decision,
there were some state-required formalities to get out of the way. Ms. Treser Osgoods first act as board president was to
conduct a public hearing on the proposed
Energy Conservation Service contract
with PFMG Solar. No comments were
heard.
Next Ms. Shoemaker presented a resolution titled The Making of Required
Findings and Approval of Contract with
PFMG Solar, LLC. She provided background information on CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act)
requirements as related to capital projects and indicated that solar projects
were exempt from such requirements.
The board approved the resolution by
a 5-0 vote. By doing so, the district has
committed to moving forward with
solar installation.
Full speed ahead
CUSD will not just be dipping its toe
in the world of solar power but will instead be diving in. The installation of a
solar array is planned for each of Clare-
monts eight public elementary schools

as well as for El Roble Intermediate
School, Claremont and San Antonio
high schools and the district office.
At the elementary schools and junior
high, CUSD plans to install the solar arrays in areas that get a lot of sun, such
as a spot where the blacktop meets the
playing fields. The solar arrays are supported by columns and are tall enough
that kids can run underneath them.
Spectators at activities on the field will
be able to find relief from the sun beneath the solar structures, as will kids
looking to eat, study and relax.
At the high schools and the district
office, the solar arrays will be installed
in parking areas, providing shade for
cars while capturing the suns rays.
In many cases, the PFMG website indicates, sites have opted to paint their
solar arrays columns in their respective
school colors, making them a matter of
campus as well as environmental pride.
The district is ready to get its partnership with PFMG off and running. Construction is expected to start in spring,
continue through the summer and be
done in approximately November of the
2016-2017 school year. First, though,
there will be meetings arranged this
January to finalize the placement of the
solar arrays.
Obviously we want to meet with the
principals and any staff or community
members that might be interested or
have concerns, Ms. Shoemaker said.
The solar contract has been greeted
with optimism among stakeholders in
Claremonts green-conscious school
district.
It really melds well with our commitment to sustainability, Ms. Shoemaker said. I think everybody is
excited about it.

Digging in
by Jan Wheatcroft
t was the fall of 1963 when I flew in

to Tel Aviv, Israel from Lagos, Nigeria. I carried robes made of brightlycolored Dutch Wax-printed fabric covered
in cheerful sayings such as, Keep On
and Be Happy, as well as a selection of
spears from villages I had visited.
My bags were filled with lovely carved beads,
some quite old and unusual. After settling in to my
host familys house in Ramat Gan, and contacting my
family back in California that I was not ready to return home quite yet, I began to make plans for the
next months ahead.
I decided that I needed to learn Hebrew as a first
step. Israel has a wonderful language learning program called Ulpanan intensive language school
where only Hebrew is spoken from the first minute
forward. Students from all over the world attend
Ulpan. Most are immigrants who have decided to return to settle in Israel but many just want to learn the
national language.
In a single class, there will be students from many
countries with usually no one common language between them all. At the beginning, everyone is at the
same placeone single language for all, Hebrew. I
remember my first class at Ulpan Akiva. The mixture
of languages included Polish, Spanish, English,
French, Romanian and Russian. We had no common
tongue in which to communicate. The teacher entered
the room and greeted us with Boker Tov, Good
Morning, and so it began.
Ulpan Akiva was a boarding school in Natanya. At
that time, there were rules to follow, curfews to adhere to and more older people than younger ones for
fun activities. I met a student from Canada and after a
month we decided to move to Jerusalem (a divided
city at the time) to share an apartment. We entered an-

dedication
The Village Marketing Group and
the city of Claremont invite the community to enjoy an afternoon celebrating the dedication of the new
Claremont Lincoln University Community Performance Stage in Shelton
Park on Saturday, January 9 at 1 p.m.
Shelton Park is located at the northeast
other good school, Ulpan Etsion. Here, we continued

our studies and roamed the streets of Jerusalem, sampling freshly-made pomegranate juice from street
carts, exploring book stores and wishing we could
visit the old section of the city that was off-limits
from Israel.
Upon a return visit to my neighborhood in Ramat
Gan, a good friend told me about a major archaeology
dig that was about to begin in the Negev Desert at
Masada. It was here that 960 Jews around the time of
Christ defended themselves against the Roman army.
They had established themselves high on a mesa originally established by King Herod and had cisterns full
of rain water. Their houses were built along the
perimeter of the site. The only way to the top was by
a snake path, which they guarded, so the Romans and
their Jewish slaves took three years to build a siege
wall. They eventually made it to the top where they
found the Jews had killed themselves rather than submit to slavery. This was to be an important dig and
was directed by Yigal Yadin, a well-known Israeli
general and archaeologist.
I applied for a two-week position and was accepted
in January l965. This was the move that changed my
life direction. I met my future husband, who had
come for the experience, and while working together
at the walls edge we fell in love. He was from England and was not Jewish and so we could not be married in Israel. No mixed marriages allowed. Within
two weeks, we decided we wanted to marry and in

Company and the Squeekin Wheels
less than two months from meeting we married in

London.
My parents seemed very laid back to me as I remember it. They helped with getting the paper work
completed from their end so that my new husband
could enter the United States. While we waited, we
visited his parents in Nottingham. I remember he had
told them nothing. We arrived at their front door,
knocked and when his mother opened the door he
said, Hi, Mom. This is my wife. She shrieked, and
my father-in-law said, Lets go up to the pub.
We sailed on a British Ship to Los Angeles. I remember Michael dragging suitcases (no wheelie ones
then) plus my Nigerian spears up the gangplank. It
was a two-week journey and the ship stopped at a few
ports. We moved into in my old apartment in West
Los Angeles and began to reinvent ourselves as a settled couple. But Michael needed a job. He was
bearded, foreign, educated and trained and could not
find a job anywhere.
Several months later, he shaved off his beard and
was hired by Kaiser Steel in Fontana. We were glad
but then the realization hit. I would have to move.
There was no freeway to get from West Los Angeles
to Fontana in those days. I called my mother in tears,
where would we live? Going to Nigeria and Israel
was an adventure but to live in Fontana? And I heard
my mother say, Claremont, my dear, Claremont.
Dont you remember when you were little I would
take you to Padua Hills for the Las Posadas theater
production and meal that you loved so much? So
Michael took the job and we moved to Claremont.
I did not move to Israel, nor did I return to Nigeria.
Plans are just that, plans. Open to change or to follow
or to dream in. I did live in Greece, New York and
Arkansas and I do travel as much as I can. India and
Japan are favorites. I am happy that Claremont is
where I live. It is my home. I make plans, and follow
some of them, but always return home.

Stepping out of the ordinary
ost people missed

the first Christmas.
Oh, there were a few
shepherds who overheard the
angels singing. The angels got
so excited they had to share
with somebody, and the shepherds were the only ones
awake! The Three Kings
missed the birth itself, arriving
12 days late. (My theory is that
they couldnt get through security).
The birth most likely took place in a
cave behind the inn. In our world, it
would probably be in a storage unit behind a motel. The guests at the inn, and
even the innkeeper himself, missed the
Thanks for giving

Dear Editor:
As the year draws to a close and my
six years on the board of directors concludes, I wanted to share the possibilities that exist through your support of
your community foundation.
During the past year, the Claremont
Community Foundation and the California Community Foundation entered
into an affiliation agreement that provides ongoing access to management
systems, donor support, investment opportunities and significantly-reduced
management fees.
Recently, discussions have begun to
expand our capacity and assist local
and regional nonprofits through a grant
from the California Community Foundation.
Like all organizations that seek to

big event entirely. Talk about missed opportunity! From a theological perspective, the birth of Jesus was arguably the
biggest event in human history, and they
slept through it. Ouch! They were right
next door. They either ignored or never
heard the angels song, nor the arrival of
the shepherds, nor even the birth pains
or the cries of a new baby.
So about this time of the season, I
wonder if we will miss Christmas this
year. When the gifts are purchased and
some even wrapped, when carols and
Christmas songs fill the air, when all the
Christmas classic movies have played,
when the Christmas Eve services are
ready to be handed out and when millions have traveled back home, I wonder
who among us will venture to the cave
out back to see the baby?

In order to experience the extraordinary and redemptive power of Christmas, we have to do something out of the
ordinary.
Think about Scrooge in Dickens A
Christmas Carol. The wonderful ending would never have happened if he
didnt get out of bed on Christmas morning and change all the patterns in his life.
He gave to the poor instead of hoarding
his cash. He bought a Christmas feast for
someone else. He visited his relatives
that he hadnt seen in years. He treated
his employee to a raise. He even wished
strangers a Merry Christmas. He came to
represent the extraordinary spirit of
Christmas.
I hope that you discover Christmas
READERS COMMENTS
serve the community, CCF is constantly

watching, listening, learning and adapting. We hope you will share your ideas,
skills and energy with us to improve
our service to the community.
CCF is your local foundation dedicated to helping fulfill philanthropic desires. You can support your community
through a donor-advised fund that lets
you enjoy the tax benefit now and distribute your gift over time. Or you can
contribute to one of several community
impact funds, or make a bequest to the
foundation to pursue your interests well
into the future.
Recently, past chair of the foundation
Brenda Barham Hill and her husband
John Hill were faced with a forced sale
of some highly-appreciated stock that

posed some tax consequences.
By donating that stock to CCF, the
Hill family was able to establish a
donor-advised fund and enjoy a tax deduction.
Of course, all of this activity requires
the financial support of the community.
Your ongoing commitment is critical to
maintaining and developing the Foundation as a self-sustaining organization
that meets the varied needs of this extraordinary community.
this year by doing something outrageously good that is totally out of character and well outside your comfort
zone.
Buy a Christmas feast for a stranger.
Give random gifts. Take a moment to
tell each family member that you love
them. Go and sing carols in a church that
you havent been to in years. Send
Christmas cards to relatives, though neither of you can stand each other. Speak
kind words about those folks whom
everyone else bullies or fears or hates.
Be a surprise Santa to someone who
doesnt even believe in Santa.
The Child born in the cave out back
can bring even more joy and wonder
than the three Ghosts of Christmas. Its
the season for stepping out of the ordinary so we will be part of the extraordinary.
Please consider supporting CCF

through an annual contribution,
monthly contribution, pledge or
through a bequest. Your contributions
help to ensure that your legacy as a
member of the community will champion charitable giving to improve the
quality of life in our community now
and for future generations.
On behalf of the board of directors,
thank you for supporting your Claremont Community Foundation.

Thomas A. Peterson
OBITUARIES
Respected judge, beloved husband and father

Judge Thomas A. Peterson died on
December 10, 2015 in his Claremont
home, surrounded by family, after a
yearlong battle with pancreatic cancer.
He was 75.
He was known widely for his integrity which, when coupled with his
ample wit, endeared him to all those
fortunate enough to cross his path.
He left this world just as he entered
it: with an unabashed enthusiasm and a
knack for captivating all around him,
family shared. Indeed, he greeted the
unknown with the same courage he
brought to each day, for even in the
end, unconscionable pain was met with
humor, an impossible diagnosis with
hope.
Judge Peterson was born on August
19, 1940 and grew up in Los Angeles
with his mother and younger brother
Ross. Precocious and athletic, Tom was
on the junior varsity baseball team and
the varsity basketball squad at Downey
High School.
Upon graduation in 1957, he entered
Texas A&M University where, among
other rituals, he was forced to sleep in a
dresser drawer. Before long family

members persuaded him to transfer to
the University of Notre Dame where he
earned a bachelors degree in 1963, followed by a Juris Doctor degree in 1966.
After graduation, he spent three years
in the US Army serving with the military police. He was stationed in West
Germany, where he successfully shepherded Shirley Temple across the
Czechoslovakian border in 1968. He
was discharged as a captain and returned to California for a job as an assistant district attorney and met his wife
Janis. The couple married in 1973 and
had four sons.
He was named a Commissioner of
the Court in 1974 and soon became a
judge when Governor George Deukmejian appointed him to the Pomona Municipal Court. In 2000, he became a
Superior Court Judge. He retired from
the bench in 2006, but heard cases in
various courthouses through 2014.
Over the course of his long legal career, Judge Peterson earned the respect
of both police officers and attorneys
alike on account of his legal acumen,
unmatched efficiency and balanced

sense of justice.
His love of well-written books and
inexpensive scotch, together with his
mastery of the chessboard, was only
outmatched by the truly sacred: golf.
Like all sports Tom attempted, he commanded the game and won several tour-
naments at his favorite course, Sierra

La Verne. When not sinking a birdie or
watching Notre Dame football, Tom
enjoyed spending time with his family
and friends, for whom his generosity
knew no bounds.
He leaves his wife of 43 years, Janis
(Byrnes); his son, Brian Post of Claremont; his son and daughter-in-law,
Michael Peterson and Eliza Hommel
Peterson of Washington, DC; his son
and son-in-law, Brett Peterson and
William Sprong of San Diego; and his
brothers Ross Peterson, David Burkley
and Joe Burkley. He also leaves four
grandchildren, Noah, Emily, Grady and
Clara. He is predeceased by his parents
and his son, Patrick Post.
A memorial service will be held on
Saturday, December 26 from 2 to 4
p.m. at the Sierra La Verne Country
Club, 6300 Country Club Dr. in La
Verne, with a reception to follow. All
who knew Tom are welcome.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that donations be made to the
American Cancer Society.
Jay Master
Veteran, salesman, golfer
Jay Coxe Master died on December
16, 2015. He was 86.
He was born on December 15, 1929
in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to John
Coxe Master of Buffalo, New York and
Mary Clarissa White of London, England.
Young Jay was raised in Colonial Village, Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, the
oldest of three boys in the family. From
kindergarten through 12th grade, he attended Haverford School for Boys. He
next attended Princeton University,
where he was a member of the Key
Club and the Seal Club. He graduated in
1952 and maintained friendships with
fellow students throughout his life, enjoying catching up with classmates even
up to his 60th reunion.
He enlisted in the US Army on November 12, 1952 and served with distinction as a member of the 101st
Airborne Division during the Korean
War until October 12, 1954. He received the Commendation Ribbon with
Medal Pendant for outstanding achievement. After the war, Mr. Master was
first employed by Armstrong World Industries as an industrial sales trainee in
January of 1955. Over the years, he
worked for Armstrong in Buffalo, New
York, Detroit, Michigan, Chicago, Illinois and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
He next became West Coast sales
manager for Thomasville Furniture, a

subsidiary of Armstrong World Industries, in the Contract Furniture Services
Division and, in the late 1970s, moved
to Claremont with his wife Marjorie and
their four children, all of whom attended Claremont schools. Jay and Marjorie were subsequently divorced. In
1983, Jay married Jeanne Smith Hazelton in the Claremont Presbyterian
Church. Avid golfers, they moved to
Upland Hills Country Club in 1988
where they golfed often and where Mr.
Master lived until his death.
Following his retirement from Arm-
strong/Thomasville, he enjoyed working many years in the real estate market

for Century 21 in the Upland area. Jay
excelled in photography, loved dancing
and pursued the study of astronomy. He
was a member of Pomona Valley Amateur Astronomers and delighted in sharing his knowledge and expertise with
adults and schoolchildren alike.
Jays greatest hobby was golf. He and
Jeanne traveled all over the world, visiting most of Europe, the Far East and
Australia, and played golf during 30
trips to the Hawaiian Islands, at St. Andrews in Scotland, throughout their favorite golf course country, Ireland, and
at courses in New Zealand, Spain and
Costa Rica. They played many courses
in the continental United States, as well
as some in Alaska. They played frequently in Florida while visiting Jays
mother, who had a home there.
Wherever he lived, Mr. Master was
active in the Presbyterian Church. In
Claremont, he served on the Session of
the Claremont Presbyterian Church
(CPC), was chairman of a capital funds
campaign and was part of the CPC
Mens Breakfast Group. He also loved
meeting friends in the Crossroads
Group.
He is survived by his wife, Jeanne
Master of Upland; brothers Jim Master
(Shirley) and Larry Master; children

Claremont volunteer was clearly a living doll
now
THEN
At John P. Evans Style Headquarters in Pomona, you could find dapper togs for the gentleman in your
life, including a Pendleton robe for
$22.50. Post-war abundance was
beginning to show itself in 1948, a
development apparent in the many
ads that helped support the printing
of the COURIER.
ack in 1948, Christmas

in Claremont was full
of folksy happenings,
many of which made their way
into the pages of the
COURIER.
A number of local girls received
good-as-new dolls thanks to the efforts
of Bertha Uniacke, who revamped 84
dolls in need of repair.
The number is astonishing considering thatbecause of the illness and
death of her husband earlier in the
yearMrs. Uniacke was unable to start
her annual project until the fall. The year
before, the nimble-fingered philanthropist had turned out a whopping 111
dolls!
In Christmas of 1948, you could

pick up a gas or electric dryera
fairly new luxury for the average
homeownerat Claremont Electrical Service on Harvard Avenue.
About 20 of them were displayed at

the Claremont library while 64 of them
were placed on the shelves of the Economy Shop, which had just moved into its
new home at 325 W. First St. The nonprofit second-hand store is still open and
in the same location.
In what had become a yearly undertaking, girls were encouraged to bring
their broken dolls to school for donation.
Mrs. Uniacke made no bones about the
fact that sewing was not her thing, so
once she repaired the dolls they were
dressed in clothing made by a number of
Claremont women, including several
volunteers from Pilgrim Place.
As Christmas 1948 neared, some dolls
were sold and others were eventually
given away.
The recipients included residents from

Claremonts Arbol Verde district, with
the COURIER noting they would go to
little girls of the Mexican colonies who
might otherwise not have a dolly to
mother. Other dolls were given to an
encampment of Navajo Indians in Upland who were being helped by the
American Red Cross. According to the
newspaper, There, it was reported, a little girl was seen cradling a rock in her
arms in lieu of a doll.
Ms. Uniackes creations ranged in

style from babies in cribs to older girls
with expressions that indicated that
they may already be starting to think
about the problems of the world.
Thanks to this giving womans work,
however, scores of doll-deprived girls
over the years found themselves with
one less problem. Heres to you, Mrs.
Uniacke!

ne of the more visible holiday scenes, seen above, can

be found on Towne Avenue

With a focus on multi-colored lights on the

rooftop and in the trees, the entire property can
be seen from miles away. Another hot spot for
looking at decorations is along Scripps Drive
in Claremont.

CHS girls soccer takes runner-up in Holiday Classic
he Claremont girls varsity soccer team won

one and lost one Monday on their way to a runner-up
finish in the 2015 Claremont
High School Holiday Classic.
They started the day by defeating South

Hills on penalty kicks in the semi-final
match, only to be out-maneuvered by a
very quick Los Osos
SPORTING
team in a 3-1 loss in
LIFE
the finals. The girls
record now stands at
8-1-2, with league play still a few weeks
away.
Claremont looked a bit disorganized
during the first half of the South Hills
game with a lot of simple mistakes,
missed opportunities and poor passing.
The Huskies kept control of the ball for
much of the half but had their own struggles, most notably shooting at the net, and
it looked like the girls would leave the
field in a scoreless tie.
That all changed with less than a
minute in the half when freshman Sophie
Jones found herself alone on the left side
and was able to beat senior goalkeeper
Alyssa Lopez to give the Pack the lead.
The second half began much as the first
ended, but the Pack worked to fix their organization problems and executed plays
more effectively. Sensing the impending
loss, the Huskies played more aggressively by putting pressure on Claremonts
defense.
During one such play, senior goalkeeper Sydney Fortson stopped a shot on
goal, only to have the ball pop out in front
of the now-undefended net. As South
Hills Amber Marinero took another shot,
CHS defender Ashley OToole slid in the
way to make the save.
Unfortunately for the Pack, she was
called for a handball, giving the Huskies a
free kick in front of the net. Senior Hailey
Zerbal had no problem beating Fortson
for the tie.
The score remained 1-1 as regulation
time ran out and the game came down to
a shoot-out.

Claremont midfielder Tyler Higuera tangles with South Hills Alina Cobian during
the semi-final game of the annual Claremont High School Holiday Classic. The Pack
defeated the Huskies but took second place after losing to Los Osos in the finals.
Claremont senior goalkeeper Sydney

Fortson thwarts a scoring attempt.
The Huskies had more shooting problems in penalty kicks, with two shots
going wide. But credit should go to Fortson for blocking a shot from Alina Cobian. The final score was 1-1, with the
Pack winning 3-1 on kicks.
In the finals, the Claremont team was
clearly out-played. A strong offense by
Los Osos kept the Pack running back on
defense all day. The Grizzlies did a great

job of connecting forward passes and getting the ball in front of the net. Even with
great defensive play from the Pack, it was
just a matter of time before Los Osos
scored.
Claremont put together some nice offensive play, toocertainly much better
than during the South Hills game. The
Pack got their one goal at 54 minutes of
play when Jones connected a cross-field
pass to senior Karsyn Jordan, who kicked
a beautiful high shot into the left corner of
the net.
It was a big day for the Packs defense,
anchored by two stellar performances
from Fortson, who delivered one great
save after another. She also did a good job
of slowing the pace when the girls needed
to regroup. Sophomore defender Hope
South Hills forward Hailey Zerbal has a

somewhat unique throw-in style, performing a complete flip before putting
the ball in play.
Hyland also played a key role by repeatedly breaking up scoring opportunities

from the Huskies and the Grizzlies.
Our girls looked tired. We have played
a lot of soccer, said Coach Tim Tracey,
remarking on their schedule, which included 10 games since December 7.
We are young, with three freshman
and all the sophomores, but we also have
a great senior class. Their leadership is
good. The example they set in training
the [other] girls emulate that. So far its
been a really enjoyable year and an enjoyable team, Coach Tracey said.
The Packs junior varsity team, led by
coach Joanna Cantelletta, defeated South
Hills 1-0 in the finals to take the JV championship of the Holiday Classic.
They all stepped up and got the job
done, she said. Steven Felschundneff

Parcel No.: 8673-038-004 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
recorders 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 888-988-6736 for information regarding
the trustees sale or visit this Internet Web site
http://www.qualityloan.com , using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-13-603535HL . Information about postponements that are very short
in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled
sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to
verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other
common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street
address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary
within 10 days of the date of first publication of this
Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey
title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole
and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies
paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall
have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for
any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the
Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagees Attorney. If you have previously been discharged
through bankruptcy, you may have been released of
personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders rights
against the real property only. As required by law, you
are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a
credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of
your credit obligations. QUALITY MAY BE CONSIDERED A DEBT COLLECTOR ATTEMPTING

IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED
June 28, 2005. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO
PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT
A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDINGS
AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A
LAWYER. On January 19, 2016 at 10:00 AM, near the
fountain located in the Civic Center Plaza, 400 Civic Center Plaza, Pomona, CA 91766, MTC Financial Inc. dba
Trustee Corps, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and
pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed
of Trust recorded on July 13, 2005, as Instrument No. 05
1642718, of official records in the Office of the Recorder
of Los Angeles County, California, executed by LUISA
MARIA MELENDEZ, A MARRIED WOMAN AS
HER SOLE AND SEPARATE PROPERTY, as
Trustor(s), in favor of WASHINGTON MUTUAL
BANK, FA, A FEDERAL ASSOCIATION as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE
HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United
States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property
situated in said County, California describing the land
therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID
DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is
being sold as is. The street address and other common
designation, if any, of the real property described above is
purported to be: 3309 LYNOAK DRIVE, CLAREMONT AREA, CA 91711 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street
address and other common designation, if any, shown
herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the
Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest
thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under
the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and
expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said
Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of
the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time
of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustees Sale is
estimated to be $348,234.96 (Estimated). However, prepayment 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 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 In
Source Logic at 702-659-7766 for information regarding
the Trustee's Sale or visit the Internet Web site address listed
below for information regarding the sale of this property,
using the file number assigned to this case, CA0800675814-1. Information about postponements that are very short
in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale
may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify
postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

granted unless an interested person files an objection
to the petition and shows good cause why the court
should not grant the authority.

Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of

REAL ESTATE
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.
