Museum approval process

Dear Editor:
In response to Denise Spooners letter
to the editor (November 11), I want to
address the two issues she raised about
Pomona Colleges plans for its new museum of artthe recusal of two members
of the Architectural Commission and the
change in the condition of approval regarding the structural inspection of Renwick House.
First, because the city of Claremont
asks prominent local architects to serve
on the Architectural Commission and because Pomona College seeks to use local
businesses where possible, there is an
overlap between who is an architectural
commissioner and who has done architectural work for Pomona College. This
overlap is managed in an ethical manner
by the recusal of all commissioners who
have done work for Pomona College.
Further, open positions and recusals
actually make it harder to obtain a project approvalnot easier as Ms. Spooner
asserted.
If the commission had been fully
staffed and if no recusals were required,
Pomona College would only have
needed a bare majority (57 percent) of
potential votes, but with the vacancy and
recusals, Pomona College was required
to get a super majority vote of 75 percent
of voting commissioners. Consequently,
Pomona College was not helped by the
recusals and there would be no point in
Pomona College refusing to employ
prominent Claremont architects or their
family members.
In this case, Commissioner Mark
Schoeman started his work for Pomona
College before he was placed on the

commission and Commissioner Maureen


Wheelers husband was hired after Ms.
Wheeler was named to the architectural
commission. Thus, to follow Ms.
Spooners suggested guidelines, Pomona
College would essentially need to place a
blanket ban on hiring anyone from
Claremont for fear that they or their
spouse might someday serve on the commission.
With regard to the change to the condition of approval for the pre-relocation inspection of Renwick House, Ms.
Spooner is correct that Claremont municipal code requires that the city engineer
must inspect the building.
That code requirement remains in
place for all relocations; the condition of
approval was changed to add the requirement that Claremonts Community Development Director, Brian Desatnik, also
inspect the building because he is the supervisor of the city engineer and he
might ask other experts to also perform
an inspection. Therefore, the change to
the condition of approval raised the
barrather than lowering it as asserted
by Ms. Spooner.
Pomona College has no objection to
the city engineer and a similarly credentialed person making more than one assessment and has offered to fund a
specialized inspector selected by the city.
We agree that Renwick House deserves to be treated with care and respect
and we will ensure that this landmark
historic building is safely relocated.

Chief Communications Officer

Retiring Chief Cooper gets special Claremont sendoff

ll he wanted was an InN-Out party in flipflops, but instead


Claremont gave outgoing police chief Paul Cooper a retirement celebration to remember.
The gala at the DoubleTree Hotel
Tuesday was full of hundreds of wellwishers, supporters and community
members, from Claremont police officers to top Los Angeles County cops
such as LA County Sheriff Jim McDonnell and LA County District Attorney
Jackie Lacey.
Everyone was there for one reason
to give a proper send-off to a man who
has spent 32 years at the CPD, the last
10 as chief.
City Manager Tony Ramos, who emceed the event, noted Chief Coopers
initial apprehension about all the pomp
and circumstance, and the strong working relationship between the city and
the department.
I have been so fortunate as city
manager to have Cooper as our chief,
Mr. Ramos said.
He also noted that historically there
has been less of a rapport between a
citys staff and the department, but
mentioned, We have never had that
issue in Claremont.
The 180 guests at the event who each
paid $15 for lunch dined on cold cut
sandwiches, a variety of salads and fruit
and the DoubleTrees famous chocolate
chip cookies before listening to remarks
of local dignitaries like Ms. Lacey.
Ms. Lacey was on hand to present an
honorary proclamation from the county,
and spoke on Chief Coopers quiet determination as chief and as the former
head of the Los Angeles County Police
Chiefs Association.

Claremont Police Chief Paul Cooper and his wife Rina receive a standing ovation after Chief Cooper said goodbye to
his colleagues and friends during his retirement party on Tuesday in Claremont.
ATLEFT: Claremont police
gave Chief
Cooper a
lights-andsirens escort
back to his
home following
his retirement
party.

oure a man of
few words, but
you dont know
how many people, myself included, look up to you, she
said. Youve done a marvelous job, and I want to thank
you.
Lt. Mike Ciszek told a story of how
he was assigned to Chief Cooper, then a
sergeant, when he first joined the
squad. He was tasked with ticketing a
group of skateboarders in the Village,
but checked the wrong box, causing a
major headache with the kids parents.
Lt. Ciszek said that throughout his
years in law enforcement, Chief Cooper
was always following the right path.
We always talked about the right way
versus Coopers way, he said. It was
always the same road.
He then unveiled two Claremont
street signsone saying Right Way
and another saying Coopers Way.
The department also unveiled two
massive shadowboxes containing every
badge, rank and piece of equipment the
chief used during his 32 years on the
force.

The former chief received an array of


gifts, some humorous and others heartfelt, from the police department and
city staff.
City Engineer Loretta Mustafa unveiled a special speed limit sign in
honor of the chiefs work with her department on speed surveys. The sign
read, Speed Limit 30, Coopers Limit
15.
We havent passed this by the vehicle code, but were working on it, Ms.
Mustafa quipped.
Human Services Director Anne
Turner talked about the chiefs dedication to the city parks and homeless
services. Assistant City Manager Colin
Tudor noted the chiefs quick humor
and knack for finding the absurd in any
situation, while expressing a true compassion for the city.

The city council was also on hand to


honor the chief, noting his professionalism and his adeptness at writing good
and readable staff reports.
Councilmember Opanyi Nasiali borrowed a regal phrase for an outgoing
leader. Long live the chief, he told the
crowd.
After a slideshow of pictures from
Chief Coopers tenure at the department and a hearty standing ovation
from the crowd, it was the chiefs turn
to speak.
He thanked the city, and talked about
his time under the wing of former
Claremont officer Lionel Brown, who
took the young Cooper on a ride-along.
During the ride-along, Chief Cooper
and Mr. Brown chased down a perpetrator while driving 60 miles-per-hour.
Chief Cooper saw the officer tackle the

suspect and arrest him.


And Im saying to myself, they pay
to do this s? Chief Cooper joked.
This is freaking amazing. I was
hooked from there on out.
Chief Cooper thanked his officers,
the city for their confidence in his work
and Mr. Ramos for their nine years
working together.
I can only use the word, extraordinary, he said.
He became emotional when he
brought up his wife, Rina and son,
Cole.
Youve always been there for me
through thick and thin, he said. I love
you guys.
The city will officially swear in the
new chief, Captain Shelly Vander Veen,
on November 28.

Its official! Art museum has new home at Claremont Depot

laremonts museum has walls


once again. The museum celebrated its opening to the public
on November 20 at the Claremont Depot.
The museum opened its doors to more than 370
patrons on Sunday afternoon, with artwork by various Claremont artists throughout the decades on display. CMA board member Catherine McIntosh is
thrilled the museum has a brick-and-mortar place to
call home
Its really exciting to be back into a real permanent space again, she said.
For years, the museum had operated as a museum without walls, setting up exhibitions at galleries and other locations throughout town for years.
Meanwhile, its permanent collection, which contains
work by local favorites such as Millard Sheets and
Sam Maloof, mostly sat in a storage facility.
Now the artwork can reclaim its rightful place on
the gallery walls.
I think everybodys been looking forward to a
time where theres a museum they can bring their
friends and visitors to see, Ms. McIntosh said.
The wheels began turning for the museum late last
year, when the city council unanimously approved a

Strong cross country teams find success in state action

t was a historic day for Claremont


High School cross country as the
girls team captured the first CIF title
in school history Saturday in Riverside.
The charge was lead once again by senior Annie
Boos, who captured sixth place, with the entire squad
cruising right behind, giving the Pack a nearly 50point advantage over second-place Anaheim Canyon
High School.
Boos said she deviated from her usual strategy by
going straight to the front and trying to hold on, instead of her usual tactic of pacing herself until the
end. It seemed to work as her time of 17:01 was a
scant 11 seconds off the top place. Rising star sophomore Sydney Hwang was not far behind at 17:31, followed by Jax Heckers at 17:55.
Its so great, especially because its my senior
year. It was just a great way to end, said Boos during
practice on Wednesday. We wanted to prove we are a
really good team.
The boys team did very well too, claiming third
place, missing out on second place by a mere two
points or 5 seconds in combined team time.
Senior Owen Bishop placed second at 14:51, just
three seconds behind Ayalas Steven Khan. Senior
Ryan Renken was 12th at 15:09, followed by sophomore Ryan Cowgill at 15:13.
It was a good day and a frustrating day, said
Coach Bill Reeves.
We were winning the race with our top four guys

GIRLS VOLLEYBALL
Claremont High School girls volleyball season came
to an end Tuesday night when they lost to Saint Josephs
in the CIF State Playoffs Quarter Final match, 3-2. The
girls went down fighting, however, taking the match all
the way to a 13-16 tiebreaker. Top stats include Simone
Bliss with21 kills, Emilee Rohrer with20 kills, Kylie
Robinson with29 assists and Merisa Marquez 23 assists.

but my usual number-three guy, Anthony Lamar, has


been ill for a week and a half. He usually runs with
Ryan Cowgill and Jonah Evans. If he had been there
with them we would have won. We were just battling
illness.
Lamar ran 40 seconds slower than his usual pace,
equating to 40 places in a competitive CIF race, according to Coach Reeves.
The girls went over the race strategy in practice and
ran it to perfection. Boos went out with the leaders
and Hwang stayed in sight of Boos. Then came Heckers and the rest of the Pack. The course narrows the
first 800 meters, so Coach Reeves told his team to get
out front early.

You dont want to get stuck, he said.


Bishop, Renken, Boos and Hwang were named to
the All CIF Team for placing in the top 15 spots.
Next up is the state competition this Saturday at
Woodward Park in Fresno.
I think this week at state the girls have a really
good shot at winning, Coach Reeves said. We are a
strong second-half team, and the course will suit us
well too.
The top two teams at State will qualify to go to the
nationals in Portland, and Coach Reeves believes this
year his team has a shot.

The producer and the life of a Gypsy


by Jan Wheatcroft

ve been putting on shows and fairs


for many years. My friend Helen
Feller and I began on Yale Avenue in
front of local stores with kind owners.
Then we moved to the front of my house
and finally to the parking lot of the old
Claremont Forum and Prison Library
Project.
Weve been doing this for more than 20 years.
Some of the shows such as Material Girls and our
themed show, which is open to all artists, are rather
small. However, it is the Gypsy Sisters that is the
largest show. We are 30 artists all showing together,
so we need space.
We call ourselves the Gypsy Sisters, as we have
moved and been shuffled about so many times we
ended up feeling like a group on the move. We are
now located in the basement of the United Church of
Christ, where we are happily settled and have been
for quite a few years. We divide the large basement
into smaller spaces, and each Gypsy has a good-sized
area to set up their tables and show off their handmade wares.
We do Gypsy shows twice a year: a spring showing
and a winter showing just before Christmas. The next
project we have to deal with is finding artists who
want to be a part of the fair and whose work fits in
with what already exists. Helen and I try to choose
carefully so that there is not too much of any one type
of art, keeping the competition to a minimum.
But we have to like what each artist brings in and
make sure that everything is handmade by the artist
and that the artist will be there on-site to sell his or her
work. That personal touch makes a difference in who
buys and in repeat shoppers. It personalizes the work.
It is different from buying an item in a glass case
being sold by a sales person who has not worked intimately with the materials to create the piece.
Gypsies do drop out. They get old, they get sick,
they move away, they stop working and often they
just make personal changes. With this in mind, Helen

and I decided to take on an enthusiastic artist/Gypsy


who is willing to become involved and help us.
Besides keeping things flowing with the church and
the other artists, we have to deal with promotion and
advertising. This means writing up small articles to
submit to the Claremont COURIER Calendar (and remembering to do it in time for publication) but also
organizing the adverts in the paper as well.
The ads have to be paid for, and this comes out of a
rather small fee each artist is charged for the three
days of the fair. We also have cards printed and host a
small gathering to address them, stamp them and have
them ready for mailing. In order to make all of that
work, the money must be collected from each Gypsy.
Trying to coordinate 30 working people can be difficult. City licenses must be paid. Signs are made and
put out and then taken down again. Helens husband
generously takes care of that. A pre-meeting is held a
month before each fair. We are able to show each
Gypsy where their booth will be so they know their
space and can prepare for it. Cards are passed out, and
there is time for questions.
Although we choose our Gypsies on the basis of
artwork, we do take into consideration their attitude.
We need helpers, supporters and people we can rely
on, otherwise we have to let them go. We also make a
donation to the Claremont Forum and The Prison Library Project. I think it is a healthy gesture to choose
a nonprofit organization one believes in and to give
back by helping someone or something else. Helen
and I do that with all of our shows.
The best part of this whole project for me is arranging my artwork and meeting the public. There are
those repeat customers who it is always good to see
and to share my new work with. There are new peo-

ple that come by and many who stop to admire what I


have made and ask questions. The most commonly
asked question is Did you make all of that? Then
there are the whizzer-bys and the barely-lookers.
It can be a challenge to catch their eye to have a small
chat with them.
But I enjoy it all and I think this is part of the reason I do this work. I usually have a project that I am
working on while I sit in my booth to keep me busy
and even perhaps attract attention.
When the fair is over on Sunday and my car is unpacked and everything is stored back in my garage to
await the next showing, I have to pay bills. We are always tired both physically from the work-load and
mentally from the stress of putting on a good show.
Although it is good to put my feet up and finally
relax, its always satisfying to work with the public, to
see old friends and meet new ones, to hear compliments, make people happy when they find exactly
what they want and to be a part of an authentic community.
This years Gypsy Sisters art sale is set for Friday,
December 9 from 4 to 8 p.m., Saturday, December 10
from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, December 11
from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. It will take place on the
south side of UCC, located at 233 Harrison Ave. in
Claremont.

Claremont COURIER/Friday, November 25, 2016

We could use a watchdog


Dear Editor:
I share the sentiment Peter Weinberger conveyed in his recent column (My
Side of the Line, November 18) that
the news media is needed now more
than ever. The independent review of
information and events by the press is
essential to the preservation of a free
society. To that end, I would like to
suggest that the COURIER has failed to
perform its watchdog role as well as
it might have.
To be clear, I dont believe the
COURIER is biased. It generously
prints letters from all viewpoints, and
its reporting is objective. But from day
one this newspaper has been uncurious
to a fault about what has proven to be
the most costly mistake in Claremont's
history (which to date has set us back
an unbudgeted $8 million). In fact, I
cannot recall a single instance where
the COURIER has critically examined
any aspect of the now-failed water system takeover bid.
Most notably, the COURIER was
missing in action when I and a handful
of other concerned citizens repeatedly
pressed the city to disclose the feasibility study, as it was legally obligated to

lege by the citywhich we now know


had the sole objective of protecting the
study from scrutiny that it could not
have withstoodthe takeover debate
may have turned out much differently.
Two years ago, as the author of the
ballot argument against Measure W, I
asked if I could meet with the editorial
staff to present my side of the issue prior to the paper making an endorsement.
It is unfortunate that I was not given the
opportunity to do so, as my ballot argument warned that we might spend millions of dollars, lose in court and have
nothing to show for it. The COURIERs own credulous endorsement of W
has not held up nearly so well.
In June of this year, just prior to the
commencement of the right-to-take trial, I submitted an opinion piece in
which I pointed out a number of significant problems with the citys caseall
of which were subsequently validated
by the court's decision.
At the time, I suggested that the
COURIER ought to be actively investigating the many troublesome aspects of
the attempted takeoverincluding the
fact that the citys own feasibility study
contained a $100 million errorand I
offered to share all of the relevant information with the editor. She evidently

had no interest in reporting on it.


Dont get me wrong. Claremont is
blessed to have its own newspaper, and
I appreciate the role that the COURIER
plays in the life of our very special
town. I am personally grateful that it
has provided residents a forum in
which to convey our concerns to the
community.
It is not my place to tell anyone how
to run a newspaper, but it would be unfortunate if what little information that
Claremont residents have about consequential issues comes only from unverified assertions contained in press releases or letters to the editor.
We can all benefit from the efforts of
media professionals who intelligibly
present facts and hold decision makers
accountable.

Claremont

[Editors note: COURIER staff has studied and reported on Claremont water
ownership for more than 50 years, long
before the city council finally decided to
make its first formal attempt at acquiring the system. Our endorsement in favor of Measure W was not solely based
on economics. We believe that water is
not a commodity to be sold for profit.
We also believe that Golden State Water
Company does not own the rainfall, a
claim made by the company over the
years. And, despite the unfavorable outcome of the tentative decision, we firmly
believe that water should be provided as
a municipal service to residents, not
sold to us at the highest price possible
by a private company for the benefit of
its shareholders. KD]

City should continue


Dear Editor:
The Democratic Club of Claremont
urges the city council to continue with
its eminent domain lawsuit against
Golden States Water despite the tentative ruling of a judge. The ruling basically said that it was not in the best
interests for Claremont to own its own
water system.
The voters of Claremont have overwhelmingly declared, by vote, that it in
fact is in their best interests to control
their own water system. That the judge
can override the expressed and informed opinion of the city is a highly
undemocratic judgment, as if such an
outside party is more authoritative than
we are in determining what is good for
us.
Consequently, the city needs to continue to represent the will of the citizens of Claremont by staying the
course.
John Forney
President

Gather together
Dear Editor:
I believe these times call for a new
verse to the Thanksgiving hymn, We
Gather Together.

And ask that our people not torn

Preserve us safe and sound until

City lawyers big payday


Dear Editor:
As a Claremont resident, I was
pleased to read the tentative ruling
made by Judge Richard Fruin Jr. that
rejected my citys misguided, expensive and frivolous eminent domain lawsuit.
The research I had done, along with
others, concluded that the case was unwinnable and, more importantly, that an
eminent domain takeover would result
in residents paying more for water service that was inferior to the professional
water company that has been serving
Claremont since 1929.
Anybody who reads the complete
38-page ruling will easily understand
that the Claremont City Council, city
manager and representing city attorney,
the private law firm Best Best &
Krieger, failed completely. This wasnt
a close or difficult decision to make. It
was a 70-3 football game.
The judges ruling also signaled that
our city has wasted millions of tax
payer dollars that only benefitted the
citys private lawyers. Now, we are on
the hook to pay millions to them and to
pay millions more to cover Golden
State Water Companys legal fees.
In particular, the following paragraph, cited from the tentative ruling,
should give all Claremont residents
great concern about BB&Ks ability to
represent our city and our interests:

READERS COMMENTS

The court would expect to receive


into evidence in an eminent domain
trial to decide whether the citys ownership is a more necessary public use a
list of reasons considered by the city
council expressing the citys priorities
for a water system and justifying the
citys acquisition of the assets of the existing water operator. That list, the court
would assume, would be complete and
available to the city council before it
voted on the Resolutions of Necessity.
However, so far as the court can discern, the city did not prepare any report
that provides a complete list of reasons
for its exercise of eminent domain.
The judge then definitively declares
that The resolutions do not offer any
factual findings for a taking of a privately-owned and operated water public utility.
This to me is a complete dereliction
of duty of our city council, not to mention mounting evidence of remarkable
conflict of interest concerns, by outsourcing our city attorney position to
the very legal team that would recommend this ill-fated water coup.
At a minimum Sonia Carvahlo
should have recused herself, and the
law firm she represents, after giving the
formal advice to move forward on this

takeover attempt. BB&K and their


team of lawyers failed to represent
Claremonts best interest, and not by
just a little bit, but by a lot, per the tentative ruling.
Simply stated, a private law firm saw
a big payday because it was able to advise our city council to undertake
multi-million dollar litigation, using the
same firm. Even though the case went
against BB&K they still make millions,
and will likely recommend that the city
appeal, which only adds to their billable
hours.
Perhaps the city of Claremont should
change its name to the city of Bell. Yes,
BB&K were Bells attorneys too, and
we all know how that turned out.
Donna Sue Lowe
Claremont

With regret
Dear Editor:
I supported Measure W, the water
bond. I now regret my vote.
The judge presiding over the current
eminent domain case has made it very
clear that in his opinion our claim is exceedingly weak. If we appeal, we stand
to lose the case anyway. The costs we
are liable for will multiply.
Ownership of the water company is
not going to save us money. We really

have no idea about the condition of the


subterranean infrastructure we are proposing to buy. There may well be extremely costly hidden maintenance issues. GSWC can spread the capital cost
of repairs over a large organization. We
are just one city.
The much-hated WRAM charge appearing on our bills is not a penalty for
our efforts to conserve water. It is an attempt to fairly spread the cost of maintaining infrastructure from which we all
benefitno matter how little water we
use. The profits of GSWC are regulated
by the California PUC. The cost of our
water reflects the wholesale cost of buying water from the Colorado River; the
cost of maintaining underground infrastructure, in addition to a reasonable
profit, which includes the salaries of
management, the cost of capital and a
current dividend of 2.5 percent paid to
shareholders.
My advice: if you want to save money, use less water.
I use an average of 5 ccf per month
(about $40). I own a large lot north of
Foothill Boulevard landscaped entirely
with native plants, succulents and cactus
and some large oak trees.
The viability of this region depends
on conserving as much water as we can
(and limiting future growth). If the city
of Claremont owns the water system, we

Our effort to acquire the water company is proving
to be a costly miscalculation. I suggest we cut our
losses. Let Golden State retain ownership while we,
the ratepayers, start conserving.
If we reduce our water use enough, GSWC may
wish they had sold us the entire system for $55 million while they had the chance.

OBITUARIES

Veteran, engineer, business owner


Raymond Sidney Harwood died
peacefully at his home on November
19, 2016 with his family at his side. He
was 90 years old.
He was born on January 19, 1926 at
Pomona Valley Hospital to Alfred
Edwin and Alice Sidney Holabird Harwood. He was of hardy New England
stock, being the 10th generation of the
Harwood family on North American
soil. He was very proud of his heritage;
his ancestors helped to found the city of
Bennington, Vermont.
Ray spent his childhood years in
Claremont (a city planned and platted
by his great uncle Holabird) and La
Verne. He attended Bonita High
School, and then enlisted in the US
Army. He served our country with
honor, fighting with the 393rd Infantry
Regiment, 99th Division. He was
wounded by sniper fire on the Elsenborn ridge during the Battle of the
Bulge in World War II, for which he
was awarded the Purple Heart. After returning from the war, Mr. Harwood
completed his college education at California State Polytechnic University,
San Luis Obispo, earning a degree in
HVAC engineering.
In 1953 he married the love of his
life, Dolores Marie Sandstedt. After settling down in Pomona, they had four
children, Craig Edwin, Bryant Steven,
Scott Robert and Juliana Marie. After
working at a number of small specialty
engineering firms in the Inland Empire,

Mr. Harwood joined Lok Products, a


division of General Electric.He was instrumental in bringing integrated air
distribution systems within the ceiling
design to the architectural building industry, including overseeing the new
headquarters of General Dynamics in
Pomona.Later, as he advanced in his
career, he was made responsible for
global sales for Lok Products and consulted on many recognizable building
structures from California to the Middle
East. After leaving Lok Products, he
co-founded Integrated Marketing Concepts and later Harwood Construction,
both servicing the same commercial
construction market.

Ray was extremely active with


church, his family and his community.
He is a former scoutmaster of Boy
Scout Troop 102, and loved being outdoors. He lead the troop on a number of
50-mile hikes through the dome lands
of the southern Sierra Nevada mountains. He especially loved to be out on
the golf course, and became a fixture at
the Claremont course before it closed in
2014. He was also an avid wood carver;
he especially liked carving various
songbirds and painting them. He was a
member of First Lutheran Church in
Pomona and later a member of Good
Shepherd Lutheran Church in Claremont, where he was a proud member of
the board of trustees. He volunteered
for 20 years at Pomona Valley Community Hospital, greeting everyone with a
smile.
Ray was a devoted husband and father who will be sorely missed by his
family, his friends and the community.
He was a fine man with a huge heart.
He is leaving a big hole in the world
with his passing, his family shared.
We will miss you so much, Dad!
He is survived by his wife of 63
years, Dolores Dee. He leaves his son
and daughter-in-law, Craig and Kathleen Marie Swanson Harwood; grandson Daniel Robert Teodor Harwood;
granddaughter Ivy Joy Elliott and her
husband Randall Duane Hinrichs, with
great-grandsons Henry Randall Craig
and Marvin Daniel Bean Hinrichs; and

grandson Cooper Edwin Sidney and his


wife Natalie Anne Warbasse Harwood,
with great-granddaughter Scout
Matilda Harwood, all in Iowa.
He also leaves his son and daughterin-law, Bryant Buzz and Elaine
Marie Kvenvik Harwood; granddaughter Lisa Marie and her husband Scott
Zengel, with great-grandson Braden
Riley Zengel, all of California; and
grandson Keith Steven and his wife
Cheryl Ann Barker Harwood, with
great-grandson George Robert and
great-granddaughter Mary Ann Harwood, all in Illinois.
He is also survived by his son and
daughter-in-law, Scott and Denise
Marie Witt Harwood; granddaughter
Christine Marie Elias; great-grandsons
Ryan Edward Scott and Caleb Raymond Nicholas Elias; and granddaughters Kelly Marie and Casey Marie
Harwood, all in California. Finally, he
leaves his daughter, Juliana Harwood
Klein, also in California.
Services will be held Saturday, November 26 at 10 a.m. at Good Shepherd
Lutheran Church, 1700 N. Towne Ave.,
Claremont. A private burial will follow
at Oak Park Cemetery in Claremont.
In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that donations be made to the
Veterans of Foreign Wars by issuing a
check to Band of Brothers Post 12034
and mailing it to 1695 Curtiss Court, La
Verne, CA 91750.

Angelica Thuy Krickl, the wife of


former COURIER city reporter Tony
Krickl, died on November 14, 2016 after a courageous struggle with breast
cancer. She was 35.
Angelica was born on June 2, 1981
and grew up in Huntington Beach,
raised by her mother Sharon Thraves.
She attended Gordon College in Massachusetts and graduated with degrees in
English and sociology. After college,
Angelica moved to Japan to expand her
horizons and became an English
teacher. During that time, she was able
to travel throughout Asia, Europe and
the Middle East.
Upon returning from abroad, she began working at United Health Care as a
pharmaceutical buyer. In the evenings,
she took classes in nursing with the
goal in mind of becoming a midwife.
Her dream was to someday have her
own midwifery clinic.
She met her husband Tony on July
24, 2010, and the couple quickly fell in
love and married one year later on July
24, 2011. Shortly thereafter, Ms. Krickl
completed her nursing program and became a registered nurse. She accomplished this all while being a new wife
and mother. She proudly gave birth to
both her daughters, Amelia and Adeli-

na, at their home with the assistance of


licensed midwives.
In 2014, Ms. Krickl was diagnosed
with breast cancer. She tried various alternative and traditional treatment programs and fought bravely to the very
end. Throughout this difficult time, Angelica continued to inspire those around
her with her warm spirit, strength and
love of life.
A memorial service will be held on
Saturday, November 26 from 3 to 5
p.m. in the Bay View Room of the Balboa Bay Resort, located at 1221 West
Pacific Coast Highway in Newport
Beach.

CMA/from page 4

deal that would transfer ownership of the


Claremont Depot from Foothill Transit, which
had been using the building as a ticketing center, to the museum.
Board member Mary Weis lauded the work
of CMA President Sandy Baldonado in setting
up the deal that gave the Depot to the museum.
To have the museum housed in that iconic
building is a dream come true for all of us who
are involved with CMA, she said.
Ms. Weis also noted that it took more time
than expected to retrofit and update the building.
Its a historic building so we had to be extremely cautious, she said. We worked with
David Shearer with Claremont Heritage every
step of the way.
Part of the renovation, Ms. Weis said, was to
construct an inner wallor a second skin, as
Ms. Weis puts itto hang the artwork so it
doesnt damage the original Depot walls. The
atrium was left mostly intact, save for a new
desk, and the restrooms were updated.
She lauded the work of donors to the Depot
Renovation Challenge, which made it possible
to match and exceed a $150,000 goal in just
four months.
CMA wouldnt be opening the doors of the
new museum without the communitys support
to make the Phase I renovation possible, Ms.
Weis said.
The museum was open to the public from
noon to 4, and Claremonters could be seen
milling about the two rooms that housed the
artwork. In the foyer, grand bronze and plaster
sculptures by artists such as Barbara Beretich
and Albert Stewart adorned the rooma combination of classic and modern works.
The second room contains a multitude of different kinds of artwork, the centerpiece being a
rocking chair by famed woodworker Sam Maloof. The room also contains artwork by Jean
Ames, Roland Reiss, Rebecca Hamm, Martha
Underwood and a watercolor painting by Millard Sheets depicting a rocky beach at twilight.
At the back of the foyer, a bronze bust of
Marguerite McIntosh, founder of the Claremont Museum of Art and Catherines mother,
stood proudly on a table welcoming visitors.
Local artist James Hueter made the bust in
1960.
Despite all the pomp and circumstance surrounding Sundays opening, the work isnt
done yet. Phase II of converting the Depot
should get underway soon, which will include
retrofitting the bike room and luggage room
and putting in new flooring to make the entire
Depot level.
This will be a fairly large gallery in the middle there, and the bike room will be another
nice gallery, Ms. Weis said. For the time
being, the bike room will be used for volunteers of Project ArtStart, so theyll have sort
of a clubhouse down here.
The museum will be open to the public from
noon to 4 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Admission will be free until the beginning
of 2017.
We want to get the word out and be open
and welcoming to the community, Ms. McIntosh said.
After January 1, admission will be $5 for
adults and free for children and CMA members.
The official ribbon-cutting ceremony will
take place at the Depot on Monday, December
12 at 5:30 p.m.

King of California brings rootsy


style to Folk Music Center

f one is lucky, time can bring an artist a


certain degree of gratitude, and the
decades spent striving and careering
can give way to a moment of quiet where
one takes stock of ones blessings. Dave
Alvin, the King of California, is there.

I am a very lucky guy, the 61-year-old guitarist,


singer and songwriter said when reached this week near
his Silverlake home. I know people that are more successful that dont quite feel that theyre lucky. But I still
kind of treasure every gig. I still get nervous before every
show, because it still seems like my first one.
And Claremont is lucky to have Mr. Alvin at the Folk
Music Center next Saturday, December 3, for an intimate
acoustic show. Also on the bill is Covinas Rick Shea,
himself a roots music powerhouse as well.
Its been about a decade since Mr. Alvin has played the
Folk, and hes looking forward to the gig.
I like Claremont a lot, he said. Its the Paris of the
Inland Empire!
I always like playing there. A few years back, you
could always see Leonard Cohen there sitting at the bus
stop, heading home from grocery shopping.
Mr. Alvin got his start playing music alongside his
brother Phil Alvin in the late 70s when they formed the
legendary band The Blasters in his hometown of
Downey. He left that band to join equally legendary LA
punks X in 1986, sticking around long enough to play on
their See How We Are record. He then released his first
solo record, Romeos Escape, in 1987.
Five records followed, and in 2000 Mr. Alvins seventh
solo disc, Public Domain: Songs From the Wild Land,
won him a Grammy Award for best contemporary folk
album. Ten more full-length solo records have come
since, with the last two2014s Common Ground and
last years Lost Timebeing collaborations with his
brother Phil.
Counting his work with the Blasters, his country-punkfolk offshoot The Knitters (with John Doe, DJ Bonebrake
and Exene Cervenka from X and Jonny Ray Bartel from
the Red Devils) and his solo work, Mr. Alvin has released
28 records since 1980.
Its been nearly 40 years in the notoriously rough
music business, and hes still standing, despite sea
changes in the industry. The most significant fracture for
artists has been the shrinking revenue for songwriters and
musicians due to lower royalty rates paid by streaming
music sites, which, combined with the disintegration of
physical product sales, has caused better-known artists
than Mr. Alvin to close up shop.
Playing music periodno matter what kind of
musicand hoping to make a living from it, is kind of
like jumping out of an airplane without a parachute, Mr.
Alvin opined. But I really am kind of stupid. Im stubborn and Im stupid, and I really dont know how to do
anything else. So you find yourself constantly adapting to
the changes. Fortunately, I work with a record label [Yep
Roc] thats trying to figure this stuff out at the same time
that Im trying to figure this thing out.
Were all in the same boat and were trying not to
sink.
The Blasters had the great fortune to be able to tour
without a new record, because fans wanted to see them,
new product or not. And thats kind so what I like to
do, Mr. Alvin said. I just like playing music. Roots
music kind of helps that along. If youre playing top 40
pop music, youre kind of locked into that moment.
Theres certainly elements of my audience that only want
to hear Marie Marie or Fourth of July, and I understand that. I can be the same way.
But with roots music, the people that like it tend to be
oddballs, and I include myself in that. Because were not

represented as much in the mainstream press and media,


when you gather people together at a show its more like
a religious service. And thats the same thing the Grateful
Dead had or Black Flag had or Bob Dylan or whomever.
A new four-song Phil and Dave Alvin EP, Hard Traveling, will be out on Record Store Day, April 15. A new
full-length Alvin brothers record will have to wait
though, until Phils fragile health allows. Nothing concrete is pending, but Were not done playin together,
he said.
In the meantime, the road will be there, as it has been
for nearly 40 years now.
Yeahyou had to rub it in, huh? he joked when reminded of his longevity. I remember in the early days,
when I quit my day job as a fry cook in Long Beach, because I started making as much money with the Blasters
as I was making as a fry cook off of our gigs at the
Whisky a Go-Go or the Starwood. And I remember it
was just terrifying! Over those almost 40 years there have
been moments when Ive freaked out, and moments
when Im deeply in debt, but overall Im a pretty lucky
guy. Ive gotten to do a lot of things and play a lot of
music and make records, and Im still able to do it, knock
on wood.
Mr. Alvin circled back to the concept of gratitude once
again when assessing his career.
Luck has a lot to do with it. You have to have some
sort of talent. And you have to have some sort of connection with an audience. But luck is a big part of it. And
you have good luck and you have bad luck, and Ive had
both.
A few tickets remained at press time for Mr. Alvins
December 3 Folk Music Center. Any fan of folk music,
both loud and quiet, as Mr. Alvin has said, would be
very lucky indeed to snatch them up.

MATA ORTIZ POTTERY EXHIBIT, SALE The


American Museum of Ceramic Art (AMOCA) hosts a
free exhibition and sale today of Mata Ortiz ceramics as
well as a hands-on workshop with Diego Valles. Mata Ortiz Pottery was first produced over 1,000 years ago in an
area of Northern Mexico called Casas Grandes or
Paquim. At first, the pots were crude but evolved through
trade with other cultures. The Paquim culture peaked
sometime in the 13th or 14th century and then disappeared for reasons that remain unknown. Mata Ortiz pottery is based on pre-Hispanic pottery found in and around
the archeological site of Paquim in the Mexican province
of Chihuahua. It is named after the modern town of Mata
Ortiz, which is near the site and where a man named Juan
Quezada learned on his own to recreate this ancient pottery and then went on to update it. The success of the pottery, which is sold for its aesthetic rather than its utilitarian value, has brought the town of Mata Ortiz out of
poverty, with most of its population earning income from
the industry, directly or indirectly. Nearly 400 of the
1,200 inhabitants of Mata Ortiz are now producing pottery, slowly transforming the community from one of impoverishment to one of economic stability. Every stage of
production of the pottery is done completely by hand.
Raw clay and pigment for the pots and paints are collected
from the rich deposits found in surrounding hills and valleys. The exhibition and sale of more than 40 Mata Ortiz potters works takes place today through December 4.
AMOCA is open Wednesday through Sunday from noon
to 5 p.m. More information is at amoca.org or (909)

All right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held
by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described as: More
fully described in said Deed of Trust. Street Address
or other common designation of real property: 246 East
87th Place, Los Angeles, CA 90003 A.P.N.: 6041-014010 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability
for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. The sale will
be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, 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: $ 308,310.46. 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 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
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,

information. If you consult either of these resources, you
should be aware that the same lender may hold more than

CHECK DRAWN BY A STATE OR FEDERAL
SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION, A SAVINGS
ASSOCIATION OR SAVINGS BANK SPECIFIED
IN SECTION 5102 OF THE FINANCIAL CODE AND
AUTHORIZED TO DO BUSINESS IN THIS STATE:
All right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held
by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described as: More
fully described in said Deed of Trust. Street Address or
other common designation of real property: 2212, 2214,
2216 9th Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90018 A.P.N.: 5060016-015 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. The sale will be
made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or
implied, 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: $ 787,610.15. 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 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 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 Internet Web site http://www.altisource.
com/MortgageServices/DefaultManagement/TrusteeServices.aspx using the file number assigned to this case
2015-03927-CA. 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. Western Progressive, LLC,

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 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 Internet Web site http://www.altisource.com/MortgageServices/DefaultManagement/TrusteeServices.aspx using the file number assigned
to this case 2016-01125-CA. 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. Western Progressive, LLC,

October saw a huge drop off in closings compared with previous months, as well as compared
with October of 2015. Typically, Claremont has experienced approximately 30 closings each
month, while there were only 17 for this October. The reason for this decline unknown, but it reflects the number of home sales that occurred in September. However, it doesnt point to any future trends, as home sales in September picked up again, which will be reflected in next months
snapshot. Prices have held strong and will hopefully continue to do so. Interest rates crept up last
week, but are still low, hovering around four percent.
