True or false?
Dear Editor:
True and false tests are not very good
examination instruments, but hopefully
can elicit further thinking. As a property
owner whose assessments will increase if
Measure G passes, I support and intend
to vote yes on Measure G! However, I
also think there are other fiscally-responsible actions we cannot continue to close
our eyes to, politically painful as they
may be.
School student enrollment from actual
Claremont residents has been steadily declining? True.
We could close one of our elementary
schools and still accommodate children
of Claremont residents in the remaining
schools, but not the interdistrict transfer
students? True.
The quality of teaching at each elementary school in Claremont is comparable? True.
Closing an elementary school would
not be a popular move but would not affect the quality of education received by
the Claremont student? True.
Each regular elementary school, regardless of size, has a full-time administrator and support staff? True.
The cost of an administrator and support staff for an elementary school is
enough to pay the salaries for two or
three teachers? True.
Closing an elementary school would
reduce present and future district costs
and free up more money to pay teachers?

True.
The district can sell surplus property
and use that money to support its operations? True.
Statements in the COURIER, and
printed literature by school administration and school board members, indicate
a belief that the state will continue to
shift responsibility for funding of schools
to local communities? True.
Statements in the COURIER, and
printed literature by school administration and school board members, indicate
a belief that Claremont has fallen behind
other school districts in asking for bond
money and that bond initiatives will need
to be used more in the future? True.
If we reduce the number of schools we
have to maintain and refurbish, and sell
the surplus property, this will contribute to
district funds and may reduce the amount
and need for future bond issues? True.
Vote yes on Measure G November 8,
but dont forget the truth in the answers
to the above questions. John Roseman

Problems with progressivism

Dear Editor:
Wow! It isnt every day that Ellen Taylor exposes the liberal agenda for its total
lack of common sense. In her letter (Readers Comments, October 14), Ms. Taylor
advocates for voting yes on Propositions
57 and 63. This is laughable.
ADVENTURES
IN HAIKU
The cards have been dealt

There's a queen and a joker
Can we reshuffle?
Dennis Lloyd
Haiku submissions should reflect upon life
or events in Claremont. Please email entries
to editor@claremont-courier.com.
Prop 57 lets more criminals out on the

street. Prop 63 further limits everyones
ability to protect themselves...from those
criminals.
The US Supreme Court has ruled that if
a cop doesnt want to, he has no duty to
protect an individual. That applies to the
state and national government as well
no duty to protect individuals. Let that
sink in. That is why self-defense is allowed.
Ms. Taylor is either ignorant of that
fact, or she doesnt care about the unintended consequences of furthering progressivism. Chipping away at civil rights
and the freedom of choice of good guys
results in only criminals and agents of the
state having the choice to arm themselves.
Good guys getting suckered by the
smooth believe me because I said it explanations of the left doesnt sound like
common sense when held up to reality.
Vote no on Prop 57 and 63.

Old School House owner preps space for new tenant
he historic Old School

House is in the middle of
regaining some of its
former beauty.
The iconic buildingwhich was the

first location of Claremont High
Schoolis undergoing construction to
restore the eastside library and study
room to its original grandeur, according
to property owner Harry Woo.
An addition built during the 1960s was
demolished to make the old library and
study area visible from the street.
There are a lot of sculptures and carvings on the buildings that were all hiding
before, behind additional buildings and
walls, Mr. Woo said. Were taking
away all the outside stuff and making it
visible to the street.
The plan, according to the city, involves adding new exterior French doors
in an arched entryway thats already a
part of the building, as well as replacing
a large, decorative bay window.
Some of the windows were covered
up by this addition, Director of Community Development Brian Desatnik said.
Theyre sort of oval Spanish style windows that are going to be exposed now.
The interior walls will be repainted as
well, matching the colors used in the
south and east portions of the Old School
House, the city said.A parapetor a low
wall along the buildings roof edgeis
also being added to match the buildings
design.
Mr. Desatnik noted that while the project began two weeks ago. The plans for
the site existed a decade before construction. Renovations to the Old School
House have dated back to a specific plan
that was drafted and approved by the city
in December 2006. Mr. Desatnik said the
specific plan called for the removal of the
Casa de Salsa building, as well as an additional building in the back of the school

house to free up more parking.

That was just a long-term plan for the
building to build it back to original
form, he said.
The project should be completed
within 30-45 days, Mr. Woo said, and
will feature all the original designs from
the building that were obscured by the
addition in the 1960s. Its all in an effort
to make the building more appealing to
passing Claremonters.
This is really the most beautiful part
of the Old School House, Mr. Woo said.
Part of the original features that will

be given new life are a set of carvings
that hearken back to the buildings early
days as a place of learning. Three carvings are going to be preservedone featuring a student studying, another in a
musical production and another in a
chemistry lab.
The space was occupied by Casa de
Salsa for many years. With its closure in
2014, Mr. Woo is looking for a suitable
tenant for the space. He said he has entertained offers from restaurants, but
wants to complete the project before announcing any move-ins.

I really do not finalize with anyone,
because I want to get it done so people
know what they are dealing with instead
of just imagining what its going to look
like, he said.
Later, he added that he would like to
have a good tenant move in, so we can
have two birds in one handthe opening of the restaurant and the historical
restoration.

Measure M gets strong support from high-profile politicians
ongressmembers Judy Chu,

Norma Torres and Grace
Napolitano and Los Angeles
Mayor Eric Garcetti urged the passage of Measure M at Pomona College on Friday, October 14.
The politicians spoke at Metros State of the
Project for the Foothill Gold Line, which offered a glimpse of the past, present and future
of the San Gabriel Valley light rail line.
Measure M, which is on the ballot for LA
County this November, took center stage
every speaker in attendance urged the audience
to get out the vote and ensure its passage.
Mr. Garcetti, who was introduced by Mayor
Sam Pedroza, painted a picture of a life made
more difficult by endless gridlock, something
he said that Measure M will help to alleviate.
If theres one thing that ties everybody together, its the traffic that we are stuck in, he
said. It is the time away from our families. Its
the job interviews that we miss. Its the life that
we cant even contemplate doingtaking of a
job across town because we wonder whether

were going to spend our lives being stuck on the

road. And I think that the Gold Line Foothill extension shows us what could happen.
Measure M, if passed in November, will utilize
a half-cent county sales tax increase to fund major
transportation projects, with the Gold Line among
the top priorities. The increase will have no sunset date, meaning it will not expire.
Mr. Garcetti tackled criticisms, one being the
purported slow pace of the project, He noted that
public and private partnerships have accelerated
other Metro projects by years and, sometimes,
decades.
And so if were complaining that its taking
too long, pass the measure and then lets fight
about speeding it up, he said. Not passing it, I
guarantee you, slows it down even more.
During the opening session, Gold Line Foothill
Extension CEO Habib Balian presented a
progress report, detailing the successes and future
of the light rail line, which ultimately will extend
38 miles at a total cost of $3 billion.
But when LA County Metro Board Chair John
Fasana asked Mr. Balian about a Plan B if
MEASURE M/continues on the next page
CITY NEWS
MEASURE M/from the previous page
Measure M doesnt pass, he did not paint a rosy picture, noting how difficult it would be to go after federal
funds and cap-and-trade grants. He estimated the project could be delayed by 30 years.
So from our perspective, this measure is the only
likely way this project is going to be built, he said.
Measure M needs at least two-thirds approval from
LA County residents in order to pass.
Metro Chief Project Officer Chris Burner offered
conceptual site plans for all the proposed stations along
the extension, including Claremonts station, which
would be built just east of the current Claremont Depot

A chain reaction in the Stater Bros parking lot led to a car smashing into the window of a dentists office. The accident
happened just before 3 p.m., when a Toyota Rav4 parked in a handicapped stall
began to roll away due to the driver not
putting it in park, Lt. Mike Ciszek said.
The car rolled toward a second car, a Ford
SUV. The driver of the SUV got out of the
car to avoid the collision, and did not put
their car in park. The Rav4 hit the SUV,
which then rolled into the front window of
the office, causing a bent window frame
and broken glass. There were no injuries.

An Ontario woman was arrested after
she refused to leave a strangers car in the
parking lot of Chevron/McDonalds. The
driver of the car parked around 4 p.m. but
did not lock his car when he left. When he
returned an hour later, he found 53-yearold Audrey Finley reportedly sitting in the
drivers seat, refusing to leave. The cops
were called and Ms. Finley was finally
coaxed out of the car, but she tried to leave
with the mans sunglasses and loose
change. She was arrested for petty theft
and transported to CPD jail.
Wednesday, October 12
Police arrested Jose Gonzalez, 59, on a
drunk and disorderly charge after he tried
to sleep it off in the grass at Motel 6. The
Ontario man allegedly walked into the
lobby around 9:15 p.m., turned in his car
keys to the front desk, walked outside and
took a nap. Mr. Gonzalez told police he
only had three beers to drink. When offi-
cers asked if he knew where he was, he

replied, Chino, or something. He was
eventually given a free ride to sleep it off
in a Claremont Police Department jail cell.
Thursday, October 13
An Upland man was arrested after police found numerous used needles and
other drug paraphernalia in his car. Officers were called to the AM/PM on the
corner of Foothill and Claremont Boulevards around 2 a.m. regarding someone
possibly using drugs at one of the pumps.
They made contact with 23-year-old Simon Planavsky, who had a used syringe in
plain view of officers on the passenger
seat of his car, Lt. Ciszek said. A further
search allegedly revealed more syringes, a
spoon and a meth pipe. Mr. Planavsky
was arrested and transported to CPD jail.
Friday, October 14
Police are looking for a suspect who allegedly beat up two people during a fight
at Oak Park Cemetery. The first victim
was at the cemetery at around 2:20 p.m. to
apparently watch a fight that was scheduled when the aggressor started punching
and kicking him. The second victim then
intervened and the suspect punched him in
the head. The suspect is described as an
African-American man, 5 feet, 8 inches
tall and 130 pounds with black hair and
brown eyes. Anyone with information

Pomona Dean of Environmental Design Michael Woo,

included Pasadena Economic Development Manager
Eric Duyshart and Arcadia City Councilmember April
Verlato.
Mr. Duyshart pointed to a 374-unit mixed-use development that envelops Pasadenas Memorial Park station, creating a seamless transition between the station,
the park and different city amenities. Another Pasadena
station, the Del Mar station, repurposed an old train station into a restaurant and created another mixed-use development that integrates with the Gold Line station.
Ms. Verlato talked about how Arcadia uses its new
Gold Line station for city events, including a Fourth of
July celebration, and the creation of a community benefits district around the station. She noted there was
early resistance by Arcadia residents to the Gold Line
extension.
More and more people became warm to the idea of
wanting a train station and, since its opened, a lot of
people have seen the benefits and the opportunities it
can provide for our community, Ms. Verlato said.
The Gold Line has proven to be so popular, Ms. Verlato noted, that the new parking structurewhich was
originally slated to have 800 spaces but was cut down
to 300 spacesregularly fills up before 9 a.m. on weekdays, causing irritation among Arcadia commuters.
All we know is that we dont have enough parking
already, and weve only been open since March, she
said.
During her speech, Ms. Chu stressed that the Gold
Line extension is of paramount importance to the region and urged its passing.
Lets make sure to get the Foothill Gold Line going
all the way to the Ontario Airport, and lets make sure
that we fulfill our dream of an LA County that is

thieves entered the house through an unlocked sliding glass door and ransacked
the place, Lt. Ciszek said. Among the
items stolen were three MacBooks, a Fendi backpack, two iPhones, shoes, sunglasses, two wallets and cash. The total
value lost was $7,700. There is no suspect
information at this time.

Another burglary happened the same
night, with the thieves targeting a salon
and getting away with around $5,000 in
property. The break-n occurred between 9
p.m. on October 14 and 10 a.m. on October 15 at Salon Bloom. The burglars entered the business, removed surveillance
cameras and took a safe and a large
amount of make-up and skincare products. It is unknown how the burglars entered the salon. Anyone with information
is urged to contact the Claremont Police
Department.
Saturday, October 15
A man was arrested after being accused
of masturbating in his car in the First Street
parking structure. A woman walking to
her car just after 12:30 a.m. on the third
floor of the structure said she noticed a
man sitting in his car with the dome light
on, apparently pleasuring himself. The
woman called police. The man was pulled
over after leaving the parking structure
and was arrested.

Two people were arrested after trying to
swipe baby formula from Stater Bros. The
theft happened around 5 p.m., when 22year-old Richard Peek of Bloomington allegedly slid a few packages of the formula into his bag and left without paying.
When police arrived, Mr. Peek tried to

flee the scene, eventually getting caught
while hiding underneath a car. Mr. Peek
was also found to have active warrants
for his arrest out of San Bernardino County. A woman with him, 26-year-old Amanda Hayes of Yucaipa, was found to be in
possession of a hypodermic needle and
was arrested.

A scuffle at a Trump rally led to a
Pomona man getting pepper-sprayed. The
man was driving past the pro-Donald
protest on First Street and Indian Hill
Boulevard around 1 p.m. and got out of his
car to engage with them. During the argument, an Upland woman made some vulgar comments to the man. The man got in
the womans face, and the womans 13year-old son tried to intervene. The man allegedly chest-bumped the 13-year-old, and
the woman sprayed the man with pepper
spray. Police were called and a report was
taken, but nobody at the scene wanted to
pursue prosecution.
Monday, October 17
Police arrested an Ontario woman after
a short early-morning pursuit on Foothill
Boulevard. Officers tried to pull over a car
driven by 27-year-old Cara Welsh for
speeding, but she reportedly did not heed
their call. The chase ended a mile later
when Ms. Welsh pulled into the AM/PM
at Claremont and Foothill Boulevards, Lt.
Ciszek said. A 7-year-old boy was in the
backseat of the car, and Ms. Welsh was allegedly driving the car while under the
influence of marijuana. She was arrested
for the pursuit and child endangerment
and transported to jail.

EDUCATION
Noted author discusses insights gained as a substitute teacher
cripps College kicked off its Scripps

Presents series last month by welcoming novelist and essayist
Nicholson Baker, whose latest book, Substitute: Going to School With a Thousand Kids, sheds light on education in
America today.
Mr. Baker illumines readers not by quoting figures
or delving into academic philosophy but instead by
serving as a faithful observer of all the moments that
make up the day for a student, and for a substitute
teacher. The result, according to Publishers Weekly, is
a gripping and indispensable time-capsule of teaching and learning in the 21st century.
After taking the stage of Balch Auditorium, Mr.
Baker was introduced and interviewed by Jonathan
Lethem, a renowned author who teaches creative
writing and English at Pomona College.
Mr. Lethem is a longtime fan, with his admiration
dating back to when he was a fledgling writer admiring Mr. Bakers stories in the New Yorker. His status
shifted from fan to friend through some serendipitous
events.
Both writers were living in Berkeley when Mr.
Lethem, then working as a bookseller, ran into his
idol at a caf. He got up his nerve to ask the older
writer to coffee and figured his brush with literary
greatness was a one-off.
Some time later Mr. Baker moved to a Maine town,
just a few miles from the home of Mr. Lethems father, the painter Richard Brown Lethem. There,
Jonathan Lethemwho spends time in Maine every
summerwas reunited with Mr. Baker, thanks to an
interesting piece of synchronicity: Quakerism runs in
both writers families.
Mr. Baker, a self-described atheist Quaker, began
attending the same Quaker meeting as the elder Mr.
Lethem. The younger Mr. Lethem found it surreal to
have his hero recur in this magical way in my
world and to encounter him in a very informal and
sweet circumstance.
Mr. Lethems first question was whether Mr. Baker,
primarily a novelist, ever imagined he would find
himself writing non-fiction.
I always had in the back of my mind that its possible to write factual things. The problem with factual
writing is that it actually has to be true, he said, eliciting laughter from the crowd.
And fictional writing can be true but you can kind
of reorder things a little bit, make it easier to understand, he continued. Somewhere along the way,
though. . .I thought, I want to write something thats
factual, where Im not a lonely person writing a
novel.
I get to call people up on the phone and say, Im
writing for the New Yorker about X and Id love to
talk to you about what you know, he continued.
Because its friendlier. Nonfiction allows you to connect to the world.
Mr. Lethem next praised Mr. Bakers first book,
The Mezzanine, which is set entirely during the protagonists journey up to the mezzanine floor of his office building.
The book is famously a kind of super-exploded
rendition of a very, very brief amount of time, Mr.
Lethem marveled. The character in the real-time of
the story only manages to ride the escalator. Is that
right?
Its a travel book, Mr. Baker quipped.
Its a book that begged the term miniaturist, Mr.
Lethem continued. What you did was take tiny
things and unpack them into extraordinary levels of
close observation, and to slow time down. Youd notice shoelaces and the eyelets on shoelaces and write
about that for a few pages, and it was like the world

Pomona College professor and author Jonathan Lethem, right, interviews fellow author Nicholson Baker at
Scripps College. In the hour-long conversation, Mr. Baker spoke about a range of subjects relating to his experiences as a substitute teacher.
was being lovingly, precisely catalogued.

Substitute also demonstrates this archival qualityoffering insight into the macrocosmic world of
education by looking at microcosmic moments.
Whats astonishing about what Nick did in his
writing about being a substitute teacher is that he didnt generalize about the experience. Its a kind of a
giant catalog of moment. Every day he walked into a
classroom as a substitute teacher is accounted for.
And in a sense, Mr. Lethem continued, turning to
Mr. Baker, it feels as though every minute of every
day that you spent as a substitute teacher is accounted
for.
Regarding his time as the titular narrator of Substitute, Mr. Baker is careful to establish that he is not a
teacher. He emphasizes that he can only guess at what
its like to spend an entire school year trying to shape
sometimes-unwilling minds and, as he says in his
book, keep a lid on the lunacy day after day.
He did, however, spend 28 nonconsecutive days in
2014 as a substitute teacher in a Maine public school
district. His book meticulously describes the happenings of each class, highlighting the kind of minutiae
usually absent from educational treatises.
A substitute, Mr. Baker feels, is someone whose
job is to fill the holes that sometimes spring up in the
school system. As such, he or she can only manage so
much meaningful teaching. Students tend to act up
when a sub is in class, too, and so he found himself
spending an inordinate amount of time policing behavior.
Typically, his lessons plans involved a series of
worksheets. At one point, he overheard a teacher in
the break room, sharing good-naturedly that they
dont even check the worksheets left for subs.
Still, Mr. Baker managed to find value in the little
victories, as when he helped a boy learn to spell the
word through.
What are the conclusions to be drawn from Substitute?
One is that students deserve a bit of empathy. They
wake up, yawning, and head for a place that is in
some ways similar to a prison. Kids spend their day in
an institution, every action prescribed and with their
movements signaled by the clanging of a bell. And

sometimes they face tremendous obstacles while trying to learn.
One high school student fell asleep in class because
she had worked a nightshift at her job. Another boy
had trouble keeping his eyes open because a newlyupped dose of the anti-anxiety drug Paxil was giving
him insomnia.
In the course of Substitute, kids act up and calm
down, take their work seriously or shake it off. They
contend with the vagaries of the new Common Core
standards and with the distractions of iPads and smart
phones.
Mr. Baker sometimes congratulates himself for a
day successfully negotiated and, at other times, excoriates himself for being a terrible teacher. Thats life
as a sub.
While Mr. Baker leaves most conclusions to his
readers, he has some opinions that seep through. He
sees schools as prematurely forcing kindergarten
kids to writewhen he, as a 5-year-old, was fingerpainting. He believes the school day is too long, and
that most students are exhausted and done learning
after lunchtime.
Some of his unconventional attitudes stem from the
fact that, as a teen, he attended an alternative high
school, School Without Walls. Despite being left
pretty much to his own devices, Mr. Baker managed
to emerge ready for college and the real world.
One question hovers, ever-present: Is meaningful
learning going on, or is the school year packed with
soul-destroying busywork? Its left up to the reader to
decide.
You can view Mr. Bakers full talk on the Scripps
College YouTube channel. The Scripps Presents series continues on Saturday, October 29 at 8 p.m. with
a free performance at Garrison Theater by Ensemble
Dal Niente, a 13-member Chicago-based contemporary music collective. Ticket reservations are required
and can be obtained in the events section of the
Scripps website, scrippscollege.edu.

doings of the mortals in not only this country but indeed in all the world. It is with considerable joy that I
tell you, oh, Master of Mayhem, that, while Claremont
takes great pride in being oh-so-nice, it not only goes
hog wild in celebrating Halloweenwith decorations,
a costume parade, noisy college parties and even
guided tours of haunted venuesthere are indeed
some unfortunate and nasty goings-on here.
You probably have already heard that Californias
drought is still going on, now in something like its
fifth year, if not really its twentieth or thirtieth year.
Yes, last years big El Nio fizzled out, at least in these
parts, with only one or two not-so-big storms over the
winter. There was a notable amount or rain and, most
critically, snow in the northern part of the state, but
there are plenty of nasty, brown, dead lawns around
town. Although, some people insist on calling them
golden brown, with many people being quite creative by using drought-tolerant plants and rocks in
their gardens. To make matters wonderfully worse,
water restrictions have been loosened around the state,
leading to confusion and griping, with some saying
this is a foolish move. Water consumption has gone
up, although, at least at this point, not to previous high
levels.
Speaking of water, oh, Captain of the Confused, the
city is still trying to take over the water system, liter-
observer
ally in a tug-o-war with the Golden State Water Company. There was a delightfully contentious and litigious court hearing, and a judge is now deciding if the
city can continue the process of taking over the water
company. Even so, there are those insisting that this is
an unnecessary expense and that the city is getting in
over its head (pun very much intended!).
Water isnt the only thing that has this town all in a
dither. The way Claremont is contorting itself over
trains would tickle you pink, even in all your blackness.
Thats right, oh, Viceroy of the Vexedtrains. You
remember the old train Depot, which was reopened
with such pride, seen as a key to making the Village a
lively, hip place? It is now closed and is no longer
used as a transit store that offers information and
passes to those using public transportation. No, as
signs point out, the Depot will one day be the Claremont Museum of Art (yes, go figureafter it had a
perfectly nice space in the renovated Packing House.)
Public transit users can find passes and information at
city hall and, of course, restrooms at a park, both a few
blocks away.
But thats just the beginning. Thats just the welcoming, if you want to call it that. For some years,
Claremont has been quite proud to have Metrolink
commuter trains stop here, recognizing this as a terrific, environmentally-friendly way to draw people to
the Village. But there are mixed feelings about this
now, prompted, it seems, by the coming of the Gold
Line from Pasadena bringing more trains here.
This means that crossing gates will be coming down
even more, holding up automobile traffic in the Village. In an attempt to relieve this, the train station will
be moved a block east. Supposedly, this means the
crossing gates wont be down for so long, like they are
currently while trains are picking up riders at the station. (Why the gates cant go down after leaving the
station is a puzzle you would love.) A wonderfully
awful railway bridge over Indian Hill Boulevard, seen
as a way to ease traffic congestion in the Village, was
proposed and rejected. Some said a bridge would ruin

the Village and further divide the towna rejection
that came too quickly, according to some.
Then theres the noise from the train horns. I wish
you could hear them, oh, Baron of the Bothered. You
would love them, as they are sometimes loud enough,
yes, to wake the dead. City officials have been doing
everything, including traveling to Washington, DC, to
see if Claremont can get special treatment with quieter
train horns, just like it got when people complained
about noise from the 210 freeway.
Theres another big argument going on about the
Village and it has to do with, all things, an art museum
that Pomona College plans to build behind the library
on the west side, instead of the east side, of College
Avenue. To hear some talk, youd think WalMart is
bringing in a superstore. Not only that, but it seems
that an old house, which the college is not razing but
carefully moving just across the street, is more worthy
of the site than a new art museum in the Village, which
is another exciting bridge between town and gown.
This is not just talk. Although it has been all but forgotten with the ongoing planning by the college and
approvals by city commissions, a group of Claremonters have filed a lawsuit against Pomona College over
its plans. I know the irony of this will warm the cockles
of whatever heart you have, oh, Sultan of the Sulky, as
Pomona College is held in such high regard (Harvard is
the other Pomona, as the t-shirt proclaims) and they
pretty much put Claremont on the map.
This isnt the only conflict going on at the Colleges.
Although the brouhaha caused when a dean at Claremont McKenna College said that minority students
dont fit the CMC mold has really died down, there
was headline-generating angst when former Secretary
of State Madeline Albright gave the commencement
address at Scripps College. And the Claremont School
of Theology has squabbled with the Claremont University Consortium over land and buildings it wants to
sell, includinggo figurethe Mudd Theater. Also,
as the city scrambles to find required land for affordable housing, the Colleges refuse to give up the land
where the golf course was.
Maybe this all doesnt reach the level of nastiness
and gloom and doom seen in the presidential campaignwhat could possibly reach that level, so appropriate in this season of awfulness we celebrate with
you?but Im glad to report that even Claremont
doesnt go unscathed.
Yes on Measure G
Dear Editor:
In an opinion piece in the September 30
issue of the Claremont COURIER,
Richard Fass, writing on behalf of Claremont RISE, presented some facts about
school bonds that were shocking to me.
Mr. Fass indicated that since 2001 the
Pomona Unified School District has
passed $300 million of school facility
bonds while Claremont has passed none.
He also noted that the bond proposed under Measure G this November totals about
$8,200 per student, far less than the average of $11,000 per student (excluding
Beverly Hills) proposed in LA County
school districts.
How can this be? Claremont schools
have long been a major reason that many
of us moved here. The awards, recognitions and test scores are proof of excellence, but how is it that our facilities have
not had the same level of attention?
This election provides the opportunity
to address this concern. Measure G is a necessity, not a luxury. As a fellow taxpayer, I too am concerned with the wise and
prudent use of these bond funds and am
pleased that an Independent Citizens
Bond Oversight Committee comprised of
concerned and involved community members will be paying close attention to how
every dollar is spent.
I encourage interested and knowledgeable residents to be a part of this process,
A note from the editor

Dear Readers,
We have been inundated with readers comments. For any newspaper editor, this is a dream come true but, then
again, with all good things often come
unintended consequences.
If your letter does not appear here

and I promise that all letters relating to
the election will published before that
time.

first by supporting Measure G and then

secondly by participating in the oversight
committee process. If we want excellent
schools, we have to support themnot
only as well as neighboring communities,
but at a far higher level. I urge all to vote
yes on Measure G.
Laura Muna-Landa
Claremont
IDTs are necessary

Dear Editor:
In the October 7 edition of the Claremont COURIER, an article by Mr. Jay
Pocock questioned the wisdom of and necessity for the current policy on Interdistrict Student Transfers (IDT).
Mr. Pocock correctly states that CUSD
accepts approximately 25 percent of the
student population from outside the
CUSD geographical boundaries. What he
doesnt say is that this is in response to the
explicit and implicit direction of the residents within the CUSD. Previous attempts to close schools have met strong resistance from the community.
Three specific examples of exploration
of school closure come to mind. In the
mid- to late-1970s, several members of the
school board attempted to close Sycamore
Elementary School partially because of
low attendance at that site.
In response, the community rose up and
recalled three of the five board members.
In the early 1990s, consideration to close
Mountain View School and sell it for commercial development was met with extreme resistance and outrage and the plan
was dropped.
As part of the Measure Y bond issue of
2000, there was consideration of closing a
school in the southern area of the district
in order to accommodate a new elementary school north of Base Line Road at the
La Puerta School site. The closing of the
southern school was met with great resistance, and the plan was dropped. An alternative plan for increasing IDTs to support the proposed La Puerta school was
put in place.
Several community meetings have been
held over these specific issues and the
general policy of IDT, and the overwhelming response from the community,
has been to keep schools open if at all

possible using interdistrict transfer policy
to keep our schools open and properly
populated with students.
Without the IDTs, CUSD would likely be forced to reduce the number of elementary neighborhood schools by at
least one and possibly two sites. These reductions would likely be in the southern
part of the district, because the northern
schools are already filed with in-district
students. The demographics of our community determine the population at each
school site.
The IDT policy allows CUSD to retain
a high level of excellence in educating
our students in several ways. First, it supports our important and valued tradition of
parental choice of attendance within
Claremont elementary schools. Each
school has its own identity and character,
and parents have the option of choosing
what is best for their students.
Second, it keeps all schools full and allows a wide range of options for enhancing the educational experience for our students at each site.
Third, it permits an economically and
educationally viable staffing plan at all
school sites. Fourth, and possibly the most
important, it provides a matriculation of
students into our middle and high school
that supports our high level of educational opportunity for students at the secondary level.
Our Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate programs would be
either eliminated or significantly reduced
in scope without our valued IDT program.
Our music and arts programs would also
be significantly reduced. Others will speak
to the economics of our IDT program.
However, I would like to state emphatically that CUSD does not recruit
students from other schools. Parents
choose to place their students in the
CUSD system because of the high-level
opportunities that we can provide by having the IDT program.
We gratefully receive them and promise these students and their families that we
will do our best to provide a high-quality
educational experience. I personally am
thankful that the education programs within California recognize the value of InterDistrict Transfers. Samuel L. Mowbray
Former school board member, CUSD
League recommendations on
Prop 54, 59
Dear Editor:
The November 8 election will be here
before we know it. There are 17 state
propositions on that ballot. The League of
Women Voters has taken positions on
those topics which we have studied.
This letter will cover the propositions
that deal with the general topic of good
government.
Vote yes on 54California Legislature
Transparency Act. Prop 54 will make our
state government more open, honest and
accountable. With this common-sense reform, every bill must be in print and posted online for at least 72 hours before it
may pass out of either housepreventing
last-minute, closed-door changes.
A video recording of every public
meeting of the legislature must be posted online in a timely way. Our democracy is stronger when more people participate, and this measure empowers all people to review, debate and contribute to the
laws that impact us all.
Vote no on 59Constitutional Amendment Advisory Measure. Eliminating the
corrupting influence of money in our
democracy is a vital concern. Unfortunately,
this vague, poorly-drafted ballot measure
is not the solution.
A constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United may have appeal as a
quick fix, but in reality it is a slow, laborious, costly and potentially unsuccessful
strategy. A poorly written amendment
could have significant unintended consequencesnot the least of which is
squelching actual political speech.
Voters deserve a fair election system
today, not years or decades from now. Instead of looking to an imagined silver bullet, we need to take broad action now, including fixing our Federal Elections
Commission, expanding disclosure laws,
overturning Californias ban on public financing of elections and asking a new
Supreme Court to revisit the ruling.

Claremont in home stretch for $5 million energy prize

by Sustainable Claremont
laremont is competing with 50

other cities nationwide for the $5
million Georgetown University
Energy Prize, which began in January
2015 and ends in December 2016. We call
it the Claremont Energy Challenge (CEC)
and we have a good chance to get into the
finals based on our energy savings in residences, K-12 schools and city facilities.
After December, the GUEP will decide on the top

10 cities to advance to the finalist round. The more
energy we reduce today, the greater the chance we
could win $5 million to be spent on sustainability initiatives in our community.
The winner will be chosen based on how much energy we save as a community, how much were likely
to continue saving in the future, how much of our
community is involved and the potential for Claremont to be used as a model for energy reduction in
other cities across the nation.
Although we have a good chance of making the fi-

nals, we have only about nine weeks more to reduce
our energy (electricity and natural gas) consumption
even more to ensure that we make it. Weve shown
we can do it; we were the winning city in the CoolCalifornia Challenge this year. If we can get into the
finals, we could possibly take the prize. After all, we
are the home of CHERP (The Claremontnow CommunityHome Energy Retrofit Project), which has
drawn national attention and is being replicated in
other California cities.
CHERP has formed a strategic partnership with
UCLA, LA County and The Energy Coalition and has
secured a $1.8 million grant from the California Energy Commission to demonstrate what can be done to
conserve energy and improve the environment in
south Claremont. The partnership will use this grant
to put together a plan to take south Claremont, and by
extension all of Claremont, to net zero energy consumption. Once the plan is in place, there will be an
OUR TOWN
Pomona. The event is designed to increase awareness

and educate the community on the gravity of domestic
violence issues and inform them on what resources are
available to victims and their families.
To acknowledge the seriousness and the continuing
presence of domestic violence in our communities, the
public is invited to gather in support of House of Ruths
opportunity to apply for an even larger grant to implement the plan.

Please help Claremont win the Energy Prize. Go to
ClaremontEnergyChallenge.net/emails to join our
community of supportive residents, receive a free
LED light bulb (first 100 to join) and receive personalized suggestions on how to save energy and money
in your home using the free resources offered by the
CEC. Electricity rates are scheduled to go up (3 percent in 2017) and, if current trends hold, your air conditioner use will also increase. Lower your energy use
and save money. What you do now has more impact
than what you do later.
If we win the CEC, our community will have the
$5 million to spend on projects that help make us be
more sustainable, but we are already winning by making Claremont a leader in energy conservation and its
many benefits. Join the challenge!

Should we right-size or improve our learning environments?

by Mark Schoeman, AIA
here are some ideas I

would like to float in
regards to our schools.
Some of these are in direct response to Jay Pococks viewpoint, Its time to right-size
our schools. Others may shed
some light on why we need to
improve our learning environments.
First of all, the issue of interdistrict
transfer students (IDTs) always seems to
rear up when we are asked to support
our schools. Mr. Pococks premise, that
only the lower performing schools receive the IDTs, is a bit misleading. If
you were to add another column to the
table provided and place them in the
ranking of API scores, the story told is a
very different one.
The idea that the IDTs are relegated
only to our lowest performing schools
is just not true. Indeed, the only school
that has no IDTs is Sycamore, ranked
fourth. I would suggest that this has
more to do with capacity than desire.
Sycamore is a popular school and, appropriately, spaces are allocated to district families first.
When I look at the table, I see more
of a desire to fill empty seats than some
purposeful distribution of students. (I
cannot imagine the uproar from Clare-
VIEWPOINT
mont families if they were denied a

place in the school of their choice because the seat was taken by an IDT!)
About filling seats: Ultimately, our elementary students will end up at Claremont High School. In order to have
comprehensive programs, a high school
needs about 2,200 students. This allows
for cost-efficient offerings of multiple
language, arts, math and science
courses, as well as Advanced Placement
and International Baccalaureate offerings. These types of classes are no
longer luxuries. They are necessities in
order for our students to get into college.
Filling the seats of Claremont High
School with students who have come up
through Claremont schools means well
have kids who are prepared for the rigors of high school and that theyll be
participating members of our commu-
nity, not merely transfer students. Students who feel included and identify
with their schools have increased success rates, ultimately raising high school
graduation and college matriculation
numbers.
With respect to the trailer classroom added at Sycamore: There is a
new upper-grade portable at Sycamore,
which would allow more kids access to
this desired campus.
Last spring, the school installed another portable and was finally able to
move its library/media center out of its
temporary home in the multi-purpose
room and lobby. For decades,
Sycamore went without a proper library. Bookshelves and furniture had to
be pushed to the side when the room
was needed as an auditorium.
In full disclosure, I am an architect
who designs schools. I have designed
elementary, middle and high schools for

25 years. I have worked in the poorest
of districts and the wealthiest of them,
both public and private. I know what a
21st century learning environment looks
like. I have seen how access to the
proper facilities can transform the teaching and learning experience.
When I visit my childrens schools
and classrooms, I am appalled at how
they compare with what is provided in
the rest of the state. My kids have visited other schools with me and for
school-related activities. Theyve expressed disbelief at the way these facilities compare with their own classroom
and school campuses.
Frankly, the $58 million the district is
asking for is nowhere near what is really
needed to bring our schools into line
with facilities existing in other districts
up and down the state. That $58 million
will do little more than repair some of
our existing outdated infrastructure.
The world is moving on. When I read
the article by Mr. Pocock, I see an argument for what worked in the past. With
this viewpoint, I fear that we may, or
have already, become victims of our
own success and will find ourselves not
on the cutting edge, but on the cutting
room floor in the future.

OBITUARIES
Loving wife and mother, community activist

Former longtime Claremont resident
Barbara Jean Crayton died unexpectedly
on August 2, 2016. She was 84.
She was born in Joplin, Missouri on
October 18, 1931 to George Yancey and
Lillian Lindsay. At the age of 7, her parents divorced and she moved to Los Angeles with her mother and sister, Yvonne.
Barbara came of age during World
War ll and the post-war era, which had a
lasting influence in her life. An enduring
memory she often recounted to her children was the experience of the sudden
loss of her Japanese-American playmates, who were abruptly sent to an internment camp with their families during
the war. Another way the war made a
personal impact on her was that, partly
because of the shortage of male workers
due to their conscription into military
service, her mother was among the very
first women hired by the United States
Post Office.
In her teen years, she converted to
Roman Catholicism and, after graduating
from Los Angeles Polytechnical High
School, she attended Los Angeles City
College where she earned her Associate
of Arts degree. She went on to work for
the Los Angeles Board of Education as a

clerk typist. Tall, willowy and beautiful,
Barbara met Marvin Crayton, a brash
World War II Navy vet. The two fell in
love and married in 1958 and she became
a devoted and fiercely loyal wife to Marvin until his death in 2012, and a cherished and loving mother to his two young
daughters from a previous marriage,
Jackie and Cathy. Marv and Barb and the

girls lived in Los Angeles before moving
to Pomona where, in 1962, she joyfully
gave birth to their son, Marvin, Jr.
In 1960, Mrs. Crayton began her career with the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Social Services
(DPSS) where she served in various capacities, from clerical worker to providing personal transportation to children
entrusted in her care to various foster and
group homes. The majority of her career
with the county, however, was as supervisor. She served at DPSS until her retirement in the early 90s. As in her
personal life, in her professional life she
responded to those in need with immense
generosity and kindness and compassion.
Among her many achievements, Mrs.
Crayton was a founding member in 1961
of Toujour Les Femmes, a service and
charitable organizationthe first of its
kind in the Pomona Valleyfor AfricanAmerican women. Among other activities, the organization raised money and
sponsored scholarships for students in
need as well as a host of other charities.
Along with her husband, she was involved in many other service and com-
munity activities, which continued when

the family moved to Claremont in 1971,
including as a volunteer for a food distribution center for the hungry in the
Pomona Valley and as a volunteer with
the March of Dimes. She was a member
of Our Lady of the Assumption church.
Barbara was a gifted painter, an avid
reader and an accomplished cook. Along
with Marvin, Sr., she loved hosting parties and barbeques for family and friends.
She was crazy about football and, in her
younger days, played tennis.
She was a loving, strong, beautiful
woman who will be dearly missed by her
children, son Marvin, Jr. and daughters
Jacqueline and Cathleen. She also leaves
her grandchildren Camille, Flynn and
Hillary; great-grandchildren Nevaeh,
Xavier, Kyla and Brielle; her cousins,
Sarah and Patricia, and her nephew
Craig, as well as several other nieces and
nephews and numerous friends.
She is interred alongside her husband
at Riverside National Cemetery. A memorial service is pending. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be
made to Pax Christi USA, PO Box
29030, Washington, DC 20017-9030.
Elaine Floyd Fisher

Loving daughter, mother and wife
Claremont resident of 51 years Elaine
Floyd Fisher died on October 13, 2016, at
Pomona Valley Hospital, of complications from pneumonia. Her daughter
Evangeline was by her side. She was 83.
She was born in Fort Worth, Texas on
November 2, 1934, the only child of Harry and Luella Floyd. When Elaine was a
toddler the family relocated to Plainfield,
New Jersey after her father took a position
with NBC in New York City.
She graduated from Sweet Briar College in 1957 and attended Harvard Divinity School where she met her husband
of 53 years, Edmund Ted Fisher. She
obtained a doctorate in theology from
Harvard in 1962. The Fishers moved to

California in 1965 after Elaines father
was relocated by NBC to serve as West
Coast vice president.
Mrs. Fisher was the assistant dean of
women at USC until having her daughter
Evangeline in 1967, at which time she
became a homemaker. She spent most of
her time making sure her beloved daughter excelled in life. She taught Sunday
school at Claremont Presbyterian
Church, donated her time at Foothill
Country Day School and volunteered in
the recovery room at the Huntington Memorial Hospital. A devoted daughter, she
spent years caring for her parents in
Flintridge, California, who both suffered

from Alzheimers.
Twelve years ago Elaine, too, was diagnosed with Alzheimers and she went to
live in the Pilgrim Place Health Center.
Two years ago, when her husband also
needed 24-hour care, she moved home.
She is survived by her husband Ted
Fisher, daughter Evangeline Fisher Grossman, son-in-law Marc Grossman and
grandsons Sam, Harry and Joey.
Funeral services will be held on Friday,

Genieve Sweeney
Loving mother, lifelong learner
Genieve Sweeney died on October
18, 2016. Born at home on February 26,
1914 in Wayne, Nebraska, she wasnt
expected to live. Live she did, though,
for another 102 years!
Young Genieve was one of six highly
successful siblings, all of whom predeceased her.
Her parents insisted that all of their
children be educated. Their father often
took them to school in the winter, during snowstorms, in a horse-drawn
wagon. As a very bright young student,
she skipped grades 4 and 5. Always
wanting to learn, after high school she
continued her education at the University of South Dakota, where she graduated with a bachelors degree. She
majored in English with minors in journalism, history and the social sciences.
She also learned French and Latin.
While in college, she often wrote short
stories for regional and statewide contests and won many first prizes. Following her graduation, she taught high
school journalism and business law in
Ramona, South Dakota, often teaching
students just one or two years younger
than she.
She followed her teaching profession
with a civil service job at the US Securities and Exchange Commission in
Washington, DC. There she did secre-
tarial work for Supreme Court Justicesto-be William ODouglas and Abe Fortas. While enjoying the professional and
social life in Washington, she decided
staying there may not be the right decision if she hoped to pursue her goal of
marrying and starting a family. With
that thought in mind, she moved to San
Francisco where she was executive secretary for the US Railroad Retirement
Board.
Following this position came a move
to Denver, Colorado where she accepted
a job as executive secretary to the com-
manding general of Lowry Air Force

Base in Denver, Colorado. Among her
many responsibilities, she had a top-secret security clearance that allowed her
to know all of the locations of the US
radar bases on the West Coast. Along
with a very select group of people, she
was allowed to go out on the airfield to
watch the B-29s take off to fight Rommel in North Africa. It was while working in this capacity that she met and
married Staff Sergeant George
Sweeney, who was stationed at Lowry
Air Force Base. He had also been a
journalism major and served as editor of
the base newspaper, Stars and Stripes.
Among other positions held by her
husband were newspaper reporter, Sunday editor of the Pomona Progress Bulletin (now the Inland Valley Daily
Bulletin) and later Sunday editor of the
Los Angeles Times. He ended his career
as director of public relations at Pomona
College in Claremont. He died in 1994.
Following the couples marriage, they
relocated to San Bernardino where Mrs.
Sweeney became the head librarian at
the San Bernardino Childrens Library.
Then, after several years, the Sweeneys
moved to the Claremont area where,
prior to her retirement, Genieve continued her teaching career at Montvue Elementary School in Pomona.
Having also been a history major

with that unending curiosity, she traveled around the world and made trips to
Europe, Russia, China, the Middle East
and the Caribbean. At the time of her
death, she was asking if it wasnt time
for her to start planning a trip to Ireland,
the home of many of her ancestors. Into
her mid-90s, she enjoyed camping trips
and sleeping in a sleeping bag on an RV
sofa. Campfires and breakfasts cooked
over a campfire were her favorites, with
lots of bacon. She approached her 102
years with joie de vivre and ongoing curiosity.
Genieve, an amazing woman and
mother, was thrilled by the beauty of
sunrises, sunsets and all that came between, her family shared, adding that
death is just another chapter in the life
of this eternal learner. She was always
searching for answers to her never-ending questions. Needless to say, she was
very loved and will be profoundly
missed. Her journey continues.
She is survived by her two children,
son Mark Sweeney and daughter Marilyn Sweeney, as well as by her proxy
daughter Margaret Fountaine. There
will be no formal services. Should you
wish, the family suggests, please offer a
toast to her memory whenever and
wherever convenient.

Claremont High Schools Maryn Santiago drives off
the third tee on Wednesday during the Palomares
League Finals at Western Hills Country Club in Chino
Hills. None of the Packs six varsity players made the
cut for the CIF individual match, but Santiago and
teammate Juliana Gomez, at right, were named to the
second team All Palomares League.

CHS girls golf team moves on to CIF

atching from the shade trees ad- his dismay after one of his seniors took a drop,
jacent to the second fairway, adding one stroke to her score.
She couldnt find her ball, he said. I hate to see it,
Claremont High School girls because this is her last chance [to qualify for CIF].
If Coach Hernandez seemed anxious, it might be begolf Coach Octavio Hernandez couldnt hide
cause for the first time in school history all six varsity players qualified for the Palomares League Finals, which was
played Wednesday at Western Hills Country Club in Chino Hills. Only 20 girls made the 89-stroke cut at Tuesdays
prelims at Los Serranos Country Club, and nine will advance to the CIF individual finals.
During Tuesdays prelims, Maryn Santiago and Sally
Wang tied for Claremonts lowest score at 84 strokes, 10
over par. The other girls came in at 86 strokes apiece for
Allison Gallegos and Juliana Gomez and 88 strokes for
Vanessa Lopez and Ivana Kovac.
In the end, none of the girls made the cut for the CIF
Southern Section Individual Regional finals on Monday.
However, they did improve on their scores from the prelims. Santiago and Gomez made second team All-Palomares League.
Santiago came out of the finals as the Packs top player, with a score of 83 combined and an 84 in the prelims
for a total of 167. Gomez was not far behind, with an 86
on Wednesday for a total of 169. Kovac had the lowest
score during the finals at 82, and tied with Wang at 170
strokes. Rounding out the squad were Gallegos at 175 and
Lopez at 187.
These kids have worked hard all year and fought the
last two days. League prelims and finals were great preparation for team CIF at Los Serranos North, Coach Hernandez said.
The hard work paid off, Claremont finished league in
second place behind Diamond Bar with an impressive 113 record, defeating every team except the Brahmas on the
road, which is pretty impressive.
But their year is not completely over. CHS will compete in the team CIF match on October 31 at Los Serranos Country Club in Chino Hills.
The course at Western Hills, as the name suggests, is
quite hilly, making for some challenging holes. Coach Hernandez noted that the CHS home course, Marshall
Canyon, has similar terrain. To make matters worse it was
hot and very windy, with Santa Ana winds picking up as
the afternoon progressed.
I told them to take it one shot at a time, to focus on each
hole, said Coach Hernandez. Due to the wind, he said,
the girls had to choose a different club and try to keep the
ball low.
Coach Hernandez is optimistic as the season comes to
a close. With just three players graduating and three returning, the Pack looks strong again next year.

Needless to say, there were two winners here when it was announced that Danielle Pichay was named the Claremont High School Homecoming Queen for
2016. Edberto Pichay has a proud dad moment with his daughter on the football field.
Some high notes of the Wolfack homecoming
by Peter Weinberger
ABOVE:There was no shortage of student photographers documenting the CHS homecoming festivities at the football game.
CHS went on to win the game, 47-31.
ABOVE: To say that CHS senior running back Duy Tran-Sampson (number 22) stretched for
every yard would literally be true as the team moved toward another score in their 47-31 win
over Bonita.
ATRIGHT: The 2016 CHS homecoming halftime show also included a short routine by the
schools theatre department from the musical Newsies, part of the FOOT Auction scheduled
for November 15 and 16.

Violent Femmes: still in the game, ready for Fox show
he legend of the Violent

Femmes big break is a
classic Kid, Im gonna
make you a star tale. Its 1981,
and Chrissie Hynde and the late
James Honeyman-Scott happen
upon the nascent Femmes busking on the street near the Oriental Theater in Milwaukee, where
their band, The Pretenders, is
playing that night.
The rockstars offer the upstart kids a slot

on the big stage. The Femmes, Milwaukee
natives, play a dream show in front of a
hometown crowd. They kill it, and a
record contract, a string of hits and fame and
fortune follow soon thereafter. Its a great
story, but its only partially true.
As amazing as that day and that night
wasand it wasit led actually to nothing, Violent Femmes singer, guitarist
and songwriter Gordon Gano told the
COURIER.
We didnt get a record deal related to
it. We didnt get a show related to it. We didnt get introduced to any managers or
agents, and there was no business connection that came from it. There was absolutely nothing that came from it. It was
a great thing, but it didnt lead directly to
anything at all.
Sorry, dear readers, to let the air out of
that legend.
And we still couldnt get a show or a
place to play in Milwaukee. We still had
nothing. But we had this amazing experi-

Brian Ritchie, Gordon Gano and John Sparrow of Violent Femmes will perform
at the Fox Theater tonight at 9 p.m.
ence, Mr. Gano recalled.

It was more than a year later that their
debut album, Violent Femmes, was released. Of the records 10 tracks, three
would go on to be bona fide alternative
classics: Kiss Off, Add it Up, and most
famously, Blister in the Sun. The collection eventually sold over a million
copies, and the band has since released
eight more studio albums, including this
years We Can Do Anything.
Violent Femmes will be on the big stage
again tonight at Pomonas Fox Theater.
The show starts at 9 p.m. and tickets are
$35.
The Femmes have carved a unique ca-
reer over their 35 years together. Borne of

the punk explosion, they emerged in
1981 an anomaly. They were three guys
from Milwaukee, for one thing, and, perhaps most unusual, they were playing
acoustic instruments. MTV Unplugged,
a show for which the band was actually
the direct inspiration, wouldnt be on the
air for another eight years. The trio couldnt get arrested in Milwaukee. Initially,
they took their act to the streets without
even knowing the term busking.
The first time we went out it was a nice
day, recalled Mr. Gano, 53. We were in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin and its a nice day
out, so we dont want to stay inside. We
didnt even know what it was called.
That musical street traininghaving to
hold a crowds attention with songs,
showmanship and charisma, and using dynamics to bring the music up and down
helped shape a sound that is to this day instantly recognizable as Violent Femmes.
I think we do have a sound collectively
as a group, where the constant from dayone was Brian Ritchie on bass guitar and
other things, and our original drummer
Victor DeLorenzo, who had a way of approaching drumming that was certainly
different from any other drummer in
rock or any other drummer is music, really with the way he did things.
The groups one-of-a-kind folk/rock/
punk/country/gospel hybrid, coupled with
Mr. Ganos ever-youthful, sardonic vocal
style and universal lyrical themes of loss,
regret and frustrationsexual and otherwiseis a noise that only the Femmes
make. And this rapport was apparent
from the start.
The first time I ever played with
them, I was playing at a coffee shop, Mr.
Gano recalled. He had met Mr. Ritchie and
invited him to the show. Mr. Richie
brought along Mr. DeLorenzo, and Mr.
Gano invited them both up to play.
That was the first time they heard a lot
of my songswhen they were actually
playing them for the first time, sitting in.
And many of those songs ended up on the
first and second Violent Femmes albums.
That reciprocal relationship continues
to this day. We Can Do Anything, the

Femmes first full-length in more than 15
years, was recorded in much the same spirit of that first meeting.
What you hear on the record is usually
the first time we made it through the songs
start to finish. Theres an excitement, an
on-the-edge quality, and I think that energy does translate when people listen to
it. Thats what we were trying to capture,
and I think we got a lot of that.
The bands long break between records
was due primarily to its much-publicized dysfunction. There have been pubic
feuds between band members in the music press, hiatuses and solo records. But
perhaps most damaging was a 2007 lawsuit, since tabled, in which Mr. Ritchie
sued Mr. Gano, claiming he was deprived
of credit and royalties for some of the
groups songs and that the bands brand
was being sullied due to Mr. Gano licensing Blister in the Sun for use in a
Wendys TV commercial. With all that
baggage, its perhaps not surprising it took
so long to get the pair into the same room
together, let alone into a recording studio.
Mr. Gano was hopeful, albeit guardedly
so, when asked what his ideal scenario
would be going forward, Id think we
would have talked about it, although actually that probably wouldnt work, because we have a hard time agreeing on
anything. I think what weve done in this
last couple of years feels good; We play
live and people love it, and I think were
just playing better than we ever have. And
continuing to do that and also putting out
new recordings is a good thing also. Its
productive. Its creative. I guess what
weve been doing for the last three years,
without having it being a stated goal,
would seem to me to be pretty ideal.
And in the meantime, Mr. Gano can enjoy his indie rock elder statesman status
and the seeming immortality of Blister
in the Sun. The songs by-now instantly recognizable introa call-and-response acoustic guitar and snare drum
riffhas come a long way from its inception on the streets of Milwaukee: Its
now a staple in ballparks across the country. Its amazing. I love it. I never
thought of such a thing, ever. And still, its
an incredible honor. Ive been at a couple
of stadiums where it just started playing.
That was amazing.
Mr. Gano, with charming self-deprecation, recalled a recent experience at Citi
Field, home to the New York Mets.
It was also amazing to see so many
people have no reaction whatsoever to it,
he said with a chuckle. Nobody cares!
Nobody reacts or responds, but theyre
playing it! Its amazing to be in a place
where so many are completely indifferent
to it. One time I was feeling a bit cheeky
and I just stood up and nodded and was
thanking people and saying, Yep, thats
me. Thank you, thank you! They were not
impressed.
Violent Femmes, 9 p.m. tonight, Fox
Theater, 301 S. Garey Ave., Pomona.

regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the
remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the
Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance
of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and
reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at
the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale
is: $ 506,658.77. 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. The beneficiary of the Deed of
Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a
written request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell
to be recorded in the county where the real property is
located. 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
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 this property. NOTICE OF
TRUSTEE'S SALE 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 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 (866)-960-8299 or visit this

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. Western Progressive, LLC, as Trustee for

NOTICE OF RESCHEDULED
PUBLIC HEARING
CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF CLAREMONT
CLAREMONT COLLEGES
EAST CAMPUS
Rescheduled Public Hearing: A public hearing on the
Claremont Colleges East Campus project has been
rescheduled to the City Council meeting on November
8, 2016. At the meeting, the City Council will consider a Tentative Parcel Map (TPM) 70243, Conceptual Site
Plan for the East Campus, and a Development Agreement. They will also consider an Environmental Impact
Report (EIR), a Statement of Overriding Considerations
(SOC), and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) for the project. The public hearing, beginning at 7 p.m., will be held in the City Council Chamber, 225 W. Second Street, Claremont.
Project Location: The Claremont Colleges East Campus project includes an approximately 75-acre area
bounded by Claremont Boulevard, Foothill Boulevard,
Monte Vista Avenue, and, Sixth Street/Arrow Route. The
Los Angeles/San Bernardino County line runs diagonally
through the East Campus property from southwest to
northeast. Approximately 30 acres of the project are located in Claremont; the remaining 45 acres are located
in the City of Upland in San Bernardino County.
Claremont University Consortium (CUC) currently holds
title to the entire property.
Project Description: Project applications submitted to
Claremont include TPM 70243, Conceptual Site Plan
for the East Campus, and a Development Agreement.
TPM 70243 divides the portion of the property in Claremont into three lots. CUC intends to transfer Parcel 1
(16.75 acres) to Pitzer College and Parcel 2 (11.8 acres)
to Claremont McKenna College (CMC) for development
of sports-related facilities. CUC would retain ownership
of Parcel 3 (0.6 acres) as part of a planned recreational field. The Conceptual Site Plan identifies the future
location of the proposed recreation/athletic fields,
sports courts, parking lots, and supporting facilities. The
Development Agreement provides for the phased development of the property, timing of off-site improvements, and potential establishment of joint service agreements and cross-jurisdictional services.
Environmental Review: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code
21000 et seq.), the State CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code
of Regs., tit.14, 15000 et seq.), and the Local CEQA
Guidelines of the cities of Claremont and Upland, on May
23, 2016, the City of Upland certified a Final EIR
SCH#2010021040 for the East Campus project. Under
Section 21067 of the Public Resources Code, Upland
served as the Lead Agency for the East Campus project,
as a larger portion of the project is in Upland. Accord-
29
ing to Public Resources Code Section 21069, the City
of Claremont is a responsible agency, because it is a public agency other than the lead agency that has discretionary
approval power over the East Campus project.
The Final EIR identified and discussed significant impacts that may occur as a result of the East Campus project, and determined that with the implementation of the
mitigation measures in the MMRP, all impacts can be
mitigated to below levels of significance, except significant and unavoidable noise impacts to surrounding
uses and the project site in the City of Upland caused
by increases in traffic generated noise and operational
noise in the project area. The City of Upland adopted
a SOC for the significant and unavoidable impacts and
approved the project.
In the City of Claremonts limited role as a responsible
agency under CEQA, pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15091, the City Council will consider the
Final EIR, the MMRP, and a SOPC adopted by the City
Council of the City of Upland prior to taking actions on
the East Campus project. The City Council will also be
requested to make all necessary CEQA findings required
under State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15091, 15093,
and 15096 prior to taking action on the project. Since
certification of the Final EIR, no significant new information has come to light pursuant to State CEQA
Guidelines 15088.5; and, therefore no subsequent or
supplemental EIR is required pursuant to Public Resources Code 21166.
Commission Review: The Architectural and Planning
Commissions have reviewed the project and recommended City Council approval of the project. The Citys
Tree Committee and Community and Human Services Commission reviewed a request from CUC to remove
eight street trees on the east side of Claremont Boulevard to facilitate the project and recommended the removal of the trees.
Public Review and Comment: The FEIR, TPM 70243,
and the Conceptual Site Plan, are available for public
review at the Planning Division counter at City Hall,
Claremont Public Library, and Alexander Hughes
Community Center. Interested persons are invited to comment on the Claremont Colleges East Campus project

Claremont, P.O. Box 880, Claremont, CA 91711-0880,
by fax to (909) 399-5327, or email to bnewman@willdan.com. Interested persons are also invited to appear
and be heard at the Commission meeting.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
PLANNING COMMISSION
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, pursuant
to the Municipal Code of the City of Claremont and the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA), that California School House Developers have petitioned for a Variance application and
utility in-lieu request related to their approved three lot
subdivision (Tentative Parcel Map #62534) located at
1238 Base Line Road. The Planning Commission will
conduct a public hearing to consider the subject applications at their meeting on Tuesday, November 1, 2016,
at 7 p.m., in the City Council Chamber, 225 W. Second Street, at which time all interested persons are invited to appear. The subject property presently has a General Plan designation of Residential Low/Medium (26 dwelling units per acre), and an underlying zoning designation of RS 10,000. The current assessors parcel number for the subject property is 8302-015-041. On September 19, 2006, the Planning Commission approved
Tentative Parcel Map #62543 to subdivide the subject
site into three lots. The approval also included a Variance to reduce minimum lot widths of the lots, as well
as allow a reduction in the required 15-foot street side
setback along a portion of the propertys Base Line Road
frontage in order to accommodate the existing slopes and
a required street side wall. Most recently, the subdivisions approval was extended by various State Assembly Bills until September 19, 2016. On July 29, 2014,
the Planning Commission approved a Variance (File #13V02) for two items related to the subdivision that included: 1) a newly proposed reduction in the required
15-foot setback along Base Line Road to accommodate
a block wall with an eastern portion placed on the street
side property line, and a western portion of the wall set

back 13 feet from the street side property line, consistent with other properties in the near vicinity of the subject site; and, 2) a finding of impracticality from the requirements to physically underground the existing offsite adjacent overhead utility lines, and allow payment
of an in-lieu fee. However, these approvals have expired,
and a new Variance application (#16-V04) has been submitted.As such, the specific components of the project
proposal that the Planning Commission will consider are
described below:
An extension of the Subdivision approval (Tentative
Parcel Map #62543) which creates three separate lots
for three single-family homes.
A new Variance (File #16-V04) to allow the previouslyapproved lot width reductions associated with the subdivision, and to allow the previously-approved actions
to reduce the setback along a portion of the Base Line
Road frontage to accommodate a required street side
wall. The Variance would also allow the previouslyapproved payment of an in-lieu fee instead of physically undergrounding utility lines along the street.
NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that the Director of
Community Development has determined that the
project is categorically exempt from the provisions of
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 because
the project involves the construction of three single-family residences, each on their own legal lot. The three single-family residences would be consistent with local regulations and the Citys General Plan, and the property
has access to all utilities and public services. The Variance application for a reduced street side setback is proposed, in part, to preserve the existing sites native vegetation and slope areas. Finally, pursuant to Chapter 3
of the City of Claremont Local Guidelines for Implementing the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA), an extension of a project approval is a listed
activity determined to be exempt (Item #18). Therefore,
no further environmental review is necessary. Copies of
the application are available at the Planning Division,
Claremont City Hall, 207 Harvard Avenue, Monday
through Thursday, from 7 a.m. until 6 p.m. For more information on the proposal, please contact Assistant Planner Nikola Hlady at (909) 399-5470, or via email at
nhlady@ci.claremont.ca.us, or send written comments
to P.O. Box 880, Claremont, CA 91711-0880. Finally,
in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act
of 1990, any person with a disability who requires a modification or accommodation in order to participate in a
City meeting should contact the City Clerk at (909) 399
5461 VOICE or (800) 735-2929 TT/TTY at least
three (3) working days prior to the meeting, if possible.

September was a high sales volume month for Claremont, with 40 total home sales
closed. The upper price range of homes over $750,000 continues to account for between 15 and 20 percent of sales. The month comparison year-over-year doesnt paint
a very accurage picture in reflecting the market differences as a whole. Based on just
September sales, one might think that last year was a better year for home prices, but
this is merely a result of the sample of homes sold, on average, being higher priced this
time last year. What this chart comparison doesnt show is that home prices are up 2.7
percent so far this year compared with 2015 year-to-date!
