Combine the commissions
Dear Editor:
I read with interest Susan Schenks
comments regarding the back-and-forth
process between the architectural commission and the planning commission.
During my seven-plus years of service
on the planning commission (my term
expired before the Pomona College Museum project was considered in detail), I
had a front-row seat to the often-confusing distribution of responsibilities between the two commissions. (Throw in a
project review by the traffic and transportation commission and it really gets
interesting).
I came to the conclusion that we, the
planning commission, addressed projects
at the ground level (parcel maps, zoning,
etc.) and architectural reviewed it above
the ground (design, color scheme).
What this meant was project proponents were often required to appear beforeboth commissions, multiple times.
We enacted some reforms to try and
streamline the process, but it is clear that
it remains challenging.
I understand that Claremont values its
commissions, but perhaps it is time to
considerreforms. I do not specifically
advocate for one of these, but offer two
for discussion.
I feel considerationcould be given to
combining the planning and architectural
commissions.This would allow for a
more complete and consistent review
process while avoiding many of the issues Ms. Schenk writes about.Additionally, we have frequent movement by
commissioners between these two commissions,which requiresthem
tochange hats with varying degrees of

success.One commissionwould
allowany commissioner to raise his or
her questions and concerns without
being told that it is the other commissions responsibility.
Alternatively,a city councilmay
alsoserve as the citys planning commission. The architectural commission
seems to be the greatest driver of maintaining thelook and feel of Claremont,
soit could continue its reviews of projects from that perspective.
As many planning commission decisions, particularly on larger projects such
as the Pomona College Museum, involve
planning commission recommendations
(rather than final decisions)which the
city council must then consider and formulate its own judgment on the merits,
the process could be streamlined.
These reforms would also reduce city
staff time and cost in preparing multiple
meeting agendas and supporting documents.
I worked withterrific commissioners
during my time on the planning commission and I in no way want to demean the
work they did, and still do, by suggesting
the elimination ofor merger of that commission into another. However, while
some say with pride that Claremonts
number-one product isprocess, when
our process produces unclear, unsatisfactory or conflicting results, maybe its
time to reform the process.

Judge sides with Golden State Water in final decision
uperior Court Judge Richard Fruin

ruled against Claremonts effort to
take over the water system in his
final decision released last week.
The final decision was handed down December 9,
with Judge Fruin siding with Golden
WATER
State Water Companys assertion that
Claremonters wont be better off with
TRIAL
their water under municipal control.
The ruling is a devastating step back in the citys ongoing effort to lay claim to a system that has belonged to
GSW since 1929.
The ruling is largely unchanged from the judges
tentative decision issued in November, save for extra
passages regarding the admission of an administrative record from the city and potential use if the city
were to take over the system.
In response to the tentative decision, city attorneys
argued that the court refused to accept an administrative record containing support for the Resolutions of
Necessity, the backbone of the citys case. In doing
this, the city alleged, the court erred in judgement,
dismissing a key piece of evidence in the right-to-take
trial.
But the court refuted this notion, stating that an administrative record is not required in a trial proceeding. Further, Judge Fruin admonished the city for not
following administrative record procedure when the
citys attorneys gave the court a CD containing as
many as 13,000 documents. Judge Fruin said the documents should have been filed with the court in paper
form, with a proper index.
The courtafter a trial during which both parties
had the opportunity to present documentary evidenceis not required to review a CD displaying
more than 13,000 pages to look for reasons that could
support the resolutions of necessity adopted by the
city council, the ruling stated.
The court also challenged the citys plans for the
system once it took control. Throughout the trial,
GSWs attorneys argued that the city planned to take
over the system and run it as is, without any significant improvements. City attorneys attempted to introduce a more complete outline during the trial, but
those plans were not initially presented in pre-trial
documents. The court sided with GSW in its decision.
The city rebutted that claim in its objection, stating
its improvement plans were merely a way to rebut
GSWs claims that the system was well-run. In his

final decision, Judge Fruin said the city essentially admitted that it wasnt serious about making improvements to the system after all.
Because of this, the court said, the evidence that
additional investment would improve the operation of
the Claremont water system is irrelevant to the issue
of whether condemnation is required for the public
interest and necessity and is a more necessary public
use.
In addition, the court claimed that deficiencies in
the system were only discovered by the citys attorneys during the discovery process, and therefore not
included within the resolutions of necessity.
For this additional reason, the evidence offered at
trial by the city of the need for further infrastructure
investment in the Claremont water system is irrelevant, the court wrote. The presumptions established
by the city councils adoption of the amended resolutions of necessity in June 2015 did not presuppose the
need for any changes in the Claremont water system.
The court noted that the city had asked for a further
hearing to settle the final decision but that request was
denied.
Mayor Sam Pedroza responded to the decision in a
16-page letter. The letter, dated December 13, outlines
the history of the eminent domain claim and nearly
everything before, during and after the trial.
Mr. Pedroza tackled deficiencies in the infrastructure of the water system, noting that a fire in the
Claraboya area could have been prevented if there
was sufficient well water in the area. Mr. Pedroza also
said that GSWs own witnesses acknowledged at
trial that the Claremont water system is sub-optimal,
suffering from operational inefficiencies, a high number of main breaks, and poorly aligned pressure zones
that need to be consolidated and/or re-aligned.
Counsel for Golden State even called the system
quirky. This is the condition of the Claremont water
system after more than 80 years of Golden States
stewardship, he added.
Mr. Pedroza also said the city was surprised by
the ruling, noting that throughout the trial, Judge
Fruin made statements in support of the takeover.
Specifically, the court concluded on the record
that the citys acquisition of the Claremont water system is in the citys best interest, stating, I think the
adoption of the resolutions of necessity, which adoption I understand was unanimous, is sufficient to establish the citys decision that the condemnation is in
its best interests, Mr. Pedroza said.

The mayor talked at length about the citys deal with
La Verne, which would allow Claremonts westerly
neighbor to oversee operations. Throughout the trial,
La Vernes track record was blasted by GSWs attorneys, who accused La Verne of failing lead and E. coli
contamination tests and fudging consumer reports.
Mr. Pedroza noted that La Verne was only cited
once in 2012 in its more than 100-year history as an
operator, and that the citation was for lead contamination of plumbing at a private residence.
Mr. Pedroza accused GSW of having water deficiencies of its own, pointing to an issue of black water
coming out of taps in Gardena in 2015.
The court, however, refused to hear this evidence
at trial, Mr. Pedroza said.
The ruling is a devastating setback for the city,
which has looked into the idea of taking over the
water system for decades.
The effort kicked into high gear in 2010 when residents saw sharp spikes in their water bills and Golden
State repeatedly approached the California Public Utlities Commission for more rate increases. Finally, in
2014, Claremont residents overwhelmingly approved
Measure W by nearly 72 percent, giving the city the
green light to pursue the system, resulting in a 21-day
trial that ended on August 10.
During Tuesdays city council meeting, a number
of residents came forward during public comment to
respond to the final decision. Resident Arin Allen
called on the city to appeal the ruling and called the
judges decision to dismiss a process spearheaded by
voters undemocratic.
But there were critics as well. Resident Ludd
Trozpek lambasted Mr. Pedrozas report, calling it
cherry-picked and full of misrepresentations.
Mr. Pedrozas report is not worth the paper its
written on, he said.
The councilmembers hinted at a possible appeal
during the meeting. The city has 60 days to issue an
appeal on the ruling.
Mayor Pro Tem Larry Schroeder noted that the ruling is but an additional step in a larger process.
This is a process, eminent domain is a process,
he said. And weve taken the first step here, and now
we will consider the next steps. So to say its time to
take our marbles and go homeit may not be. Council will consider other actions. This is definitely the
first step.

Council allocates more funds to pay for water trial
s Claremont continues to lick its

post-trial wounds in the water system case, more money is being diverted to pay for expenses.
The council voted Tuesday evening to allocate about
$1.2 million from two general fund reserves to pay for costs associated with
CITY
the trial against Golden State Water
COUNCIL
Company. The city lost the eminent domain right-to-take trial on December 9, and already there
are murmurs of a possible appeal.
The money will come from two general fund reserves$711,804 from the equipment and facility revolving reserve, and $488,196 from the maintenance of
operation reserve. After the money is pulled out, the
equipment reserve will have about $150,000 left, while
the maintenance and operation reserve will be entirely
depleted, according to Finance Director Adam Pirrie.
From January 2012 to October 2016, the city has
spent more than $6 million related to the water trial.
Legal fees relating to water before December 2014 had
totaled about $1 million, with an additional $2.6 million

incurred since the filing of the eminent domain lawsuit.
An additional $2.2 million has been paid toward consultant and expert fees since 2014.
Additional fees include $61, 451 for a Public Records
Act lawsuit and $25,139 from a California Environmental Quality Act lawsuit filed by GSW that were both
eventually dropped, and $103,630 in reimbursements to
cover the city of La Vernes participation costs during
trial.
Of the $1.2 million, $889,250 in trial costs will go toward unpaid fees within the $6 million total, while the
remainder will be set aside to cover trial-related costs
from November and December, according to Mr. Pirrie.
In addition, the city will likely have to pay GSWs
legal fees. The number has not been set, but Mayor Sam
Pedroza, in his rebuttal to the judges final decision, estimated that it would cost several millions of dollars.
Public comment was mostly harsh, with a number of
residents coming forward to admonish the council and
urge them not to appeal. Resident Carolyn Gonzales
used a gambling term to illustrate when to move forward and when to cash out.
You dont chase losing bets with more money, she

said. Because when youre losing, youre losing and
its not the time to raise your bet. Its not the time to put
more money chasing that first bet.
Donna Lowe, reading from a statement prepared by
her and her husband Gary, took the city and the citys
legal counsel, Best, Best & Kreiger, to task, accusing the
law firm of bilking the city out of money and moving on
without consequence.
Hindsight is 20-20, and tonight the answer is clear:
the city council is paying Best Best & Kreigers bills
even though their lawsuit was eviscerated by [Judge
Richard Fruin], she said.
Best, Best & Krieger are the big winners tonight,
she later added. Their legal incompetence is being rewarded with millions of our dollars, and if you think
they care, they dont.
Jim Belna, who has served as chief antagonist to the
council throughout the eminent domain process, compared the hiring of Best, Best & Kreiger to building a
house and having the cost more than double during the
process. He called on the city to terminate its contract
CITY COUNCIL/continues on the next page

CITY COUNCIL/from the previous page
with the law firm.

Sally Seven defended the trial, encouraging the city to appeal and calling
it, a question of merit and justice.
I also feel that it does very much
profit the residents, she said. I know it
profits me a whole lot more to spend my
money buying the water system than to
spend it paying profits to stock owners
and paying high salaries to private companies.
City Attorney Sonia Carvalho, herself
a member of Best, Best & Kreiger, noted
in her response that the legal counsel
working on the case actually took a pay
cut, to the tune of about $1 million, because the firm knew the water trial would
be an expensive fight.
On numerous occasions we had people stay the night or had to eat and we
never passed the costs to the city, she
said.
Councilmember Corey Calaycay
noted that the water trial and the events
leading up to it were driven by the citizens desire for local control.
Bottom line, we as a community
made a decision that we thought was in
our best interests, he said. It wasnt
about frivolous spending or any of that.
It was about something that the voters
even participated in.
Mayor Pro Tem Larry Schroeder
WEATHER
Decreasing clouds and showers

Friday followed by mostly fair and
slowly warming days into next
week. Chance of gusty northeast
winds developing in nearby foothill
and mountain locations Sunday
through Monday. Colder nights,
with lows mid-30s to low-40s. Daytime highs, 55 to 65.
Gary London
for the COURIER
called out Mr. Belnas analogy in his brief

statement behind the council dais.
Were not building a house, were involved in an eminent domain action, he
said. And its quite different and I believe in what were doing.
The possibility of an appeal will be
brought up to the council in January, according to City Manager Tony Ramos.
PUBLIC CALLS FOR SANCTUARY CITY DESIGNATIION
Twenty people from the Claremont
Colleges and the community spoke at
public comment, calling on the council to
declare Claremont a sanctuary city.
A sanctuary city is one that protects undocumented residents from any federal
agency or program that may come after
them. Cities such as Los Angeles and San
Francisco have already declared themselves sanctuary cities, while other cities
across the country are mulling the idea in
the wake of President-elect Donald
Trumps win.
A mixture of boos and cheers erupted
from the full council chamber when the
speakers ideas became known.
Josue Pasillas, Pitzer College student
and president of the student senate, called

on the council to pass the resolution protecting undocumented Claremonters and
offered his services in the effort.
He encouraged the council to reaffirm
to our community that we are welcoming. No matter what religion you are, no
matter what your sexuality is, no matter
where youre from, Claremont will always be a welcoming city, and that is our
tradition.
Pomona College professor Amanda
Hollis-Brusky called on the city and the
Claremont Police Department to protect
undocumented residents and not ask for
documentation when in contact with them.
I have two daughters who attend
Sycamore. I am the co-leader of two Girl
Scout troops. Im also a softball coach in
the community. Those are the things that
I am. What Im not is a radical. What
were asking for, in asking you to adopt
language pursuant to a sanctuary status
for Claremont, is not radical, she said.
Carolyn Gonzales, in a voice of dissent, noted that the city should follow the
letter of the law above all else.
I do not believe it is in the best interest of the city of Claremont to take any
position other than the position you have

today to be a fair city to all citizens, she
said.
The council assured the speakers that
the issue would be brought up for discussion sometime in January.
POLICE OFFICERS PROMOTED
Tuesdays city council meeting also
saw the promotions of four Claremont
police officers and the swearing-in of a
new one.
Captain Aaron Fate was promoted
from lieutenant, Sergeant David Hardin
was promoted from lieutenant, Corporal
Nick Martinez was promoted from officer and Corporal Michael Snyder was
promoted from officer.
The new officer, Jacob Hellein, was
hired in November and comes from the
San Bernardino County Sheriffs Department. He grew up in Upland and attended
Claremont schools.
Chief Shelly Vander Veen administered the oath of office to the new and
promoted officers.
The next city council meeting will take
place on January 10.

EDUCATION
Community at odds over firing of CHS head football coach

ose Coco Jarin has been fired as the
head coach of the Claremont High
School football program after just two
years on the job. CHS Principal Brett
OConnor announced the decision in a letter that was sent to the parents of football
players on Monday.
After much consideration, I informed Jose Coco

Jarin this afternoon that he is no longer the head football
coach at CHS, Mr. OConnor wrote in the letter.
No official reason was given for the action. Mr.
OConnor said only that personnel decisions and the
reasons behind those decisions are confidential to protect the employees rights.
Mr. OConnor praised Coach Jarins dedication and
hard work but said, I felt it was in the best interest of the
program to make a change at this time.
Coach Jarin said the decision took him by surprise
coming the day after the annual football banquet, and
was particularly jarring because he had just been named
employee of the month for his full-time job as a proctor
at CHS.
I was told that a group of parents and some kids,
maybe 10 percent, were not happy, Coach Jarin said
Wednesday evening. He said the meeting with Mr.
OConnor was very vague and was told that the exact
reason for his dismissal was personal and confidential.
We have done a lot of good things to create a better
atmosphere. I thought we ran a smooth operation. He
[Mr. OConnor] told me dont worry about it [the complaints] so I didnt and it got me fired, Coach Jarin said.
Its not a good direction for Claremont There are
many people who are hurt, he said.
Jeanie Lindblade, whose son Jack is an offensive
lineman in his third year with the team, said that a handful of parents did not like Coach Jarin and actively
sought to have him removed.
She described a smear campaign that included a
leaflet denouncing the coach that was circulated around
campus at the beginning of the semester.
Some people thought that he played favorites, but I
dont think so. Football is mentally tough and physically toughhe liked the boys to be challenged. Some of
these kids didnt like him because he made them work,
Ms. Lindblade said.
She described parents who often confronted the coaching staff. A handful of parents should be embarrassed,
yelling at coaches after practice, Ms. Lindblade said.
Campbell Wright, whose son Nick is a member of the
RENWICK HOUSE/from the previous page
front porch is about two feet shorter than the current

setbacks of 26 feet, according to the site plan.
Jen Dunbar of Architectural Resources Group (ARG)
went into more detail on the interior plans for the house,
which include restoring the original hardwood flooring,
taking out carpet and restoring the original finishes. Ms.
Dunbar explained the existing stairs on the outside of the
house will be moved and placed in their original settings.
The proposed site was selected in part due to its proximity to the current Renwick site and its perpetuation of
the Victorian look on that end of College Avenue, according to Mr. Veirs.
Part of the relocation plans are to add new shrubbery
in addition to the existing trees, including installing a memorial garden dedicated to Helen Renwick around the outer perimeter and an oak tree on the northern end of the
house. A plaque memorializing Ms. Renwick will also be
placed on the new grounds.
Were trying to create a garden that hearkens back to
an era where we werent as worried about our water bill
or irrigation efficiencies, Ben McCoy of EPT Designs,
a landscape architect and former member of the architectural commission, said during his presentation.
Commissioner Bob Perry wondered if the canopy from

the CHS football program, according to a letter sent
out by CHS Principal Brett OConnor. No official reason was giving for the action.
team, agreed with Ms. Lindblades assessment.

There was a lot of dissention. I saw some of the disgruntled parents. There were things that went around,
and I thought, Whats this all about?, Mr. Wright
said. I more want to advocate for my son. He needs to
earn his place on the team on his own performance, not
because of lobbying or complaining.
Mr. Wright explained he was unhappy with the way
complaints about coaching were brought forward.
I had no issues with the man. Could I make some
constructive suggestions? Yes, but nothing worth making a stink about, Mr. Wright said. If he was abusing
my kid I could have gone to [athletic director] Rick
Dutton, which would have been more constructive than
circulating a flier.
A group of about five parents showed up at a CUSD
school board meeting at the start of November, hoping
to take complaints about problems with a CHS football
coachname unspecifiedto the public comment portion of the meeting.
COURIER education reporter Sarah Torribio observed Assistant Superintendent of Student Services
Mike Bateman speaking with the concerned group. He
shared that the district was aware that some Wolfpack
families had issues with happenings in the football program and requested thatrather than speaking during
public commentthey meet directly with him. The parents agreed and he set up a meeting for the following
morning. Mr. Bateman emphasized that he was open to
hearing their concerns.
I dont know a lot about the decision, but I talked to
them and passed on the information, Mr. Bateman said.
Julie Pedroza, president of the Parent Faculty Assothe oak tree as it matured would cause a problem with the
fire department, should an emergency happen at or near
the house.
Have you checked them with the fire department prior to submitting this plan? Mr. Perry asked. Mr. McCoy
said he had not.
The commission was also concerned with the placement
of the house, saying they felt it will sit too snugly against
the existing fire lane and wont be aligned with the Baldwin House across the street.
I dont understand the need to confine this location so
tight to the fire lane and put the landscape at risk, Mr. Perry said.
Ms. Dunbar noted the placement was due to a slight sloping south of the house, which could lead to a possible elevation issue, as well as the displacement of three existing palm trees.
Aside from that, I think the other key feature is that
we are trying to emphasize this relationship to the corner
here, she noted, referring to the potential view of the house
from the city hall and library area.
Mr. Perry disagreed, noting that the life of the house outlasts the life of the palms. I feel the location of the house
supersedes the landscape, he said.
Public comment was peppered with supporters and crit-
ciation at CHS and co-chair of the 2017 grad night, described problems with Coach Jarin and the football
boosters. Ms. Pedroza was president of the boosters in
2014 under Head Coach Mike Collins. At the time,
Coach Jarin was defensive coordinator. Both of her
sons, Zachary and Nick, played football, but Nick quit
in 2014, so Ms. Pedroza stepped down as president.
She described an incident in which football apparel
purchased by the boosters was missing and Coach Jarin
told her he had given it away, which is not under his discretion. She emphasized she had nothing to do with the
group of parents who complained to school officials
about the coach.
Honestly, I did not find out [about his termination]
until yesterday, she said Thursday morning. Im planning grad night. I have nothing to do with football.
However, in her position as PFA president, she was involved in another instance when Coach Jarin reportedly disregarded booster protocol. All booster clubs in the
school district must submit plans to the PFA in advance
before they host fundraising events, in order to be covered under a blanket insurance policy the group holds.
When the football program held its fundraising walk-athon this year, there was no plan for a dunk tank. According to Ms. Pedroza, Coach Jarin went forward with
plans to have a dunk tank at the event, stating that he
would personally sign a liability of release.
I tried to contact Coco to tell him its not allowed. The
day before the event, I talked to [principal] Brett
[OConnor] and he said the tank wont be there, Ms. Pedroza said. I came at it from a booster point of view.
There are the procedures he needs to follow; if he cant
follow that, its a problem.
She did admit that parents of current and former players had expressed concerns about Coach Jarins behavior, particularly at practice.
He has good intentions, he is just not executing them
the right way. He does cuss at them. He does break
them down and make them feel bad, Ms. Pedroza said.
Many of his players want Coach Jarin to be reinstated, with juniors Tommy Viat and Solo Tuliaupupu circulating a petition that now has more than 300 signatures,
according to a co-head sports editor of the campus newspaper the Wolfpacket Nathan Rodriguez. Nathan, who
was an intern at the COURIER last summer, was one of
the first reporters to break the story.
Coach Jarin had a .500 winning percentage during the
two years he led the program. There is no indication at
this time that his removal has anything to do with the
teams 3-7 record this year. Steven Felschundneff

I think of Field of Dreams, Pomona College professor George Gorse said, referring to the popular Kevin
Costner movie. Were not in an Iowa cornfield, but theres
something about Victorian architecture and baseball, I think
its really kind of fun.
Resident Mary Stoddard, who is a part of Citizens to
Save College Avenuewhich is in the middle of litigation over the proposed museumbrought up the possibility of a home-run ball hitting the house.
Doug Lyon, vice chair of the planning commission,
brought up the possibility of the new location conforming to the Village Design Plan (VDP), but Director of Community Development Brian Desatnik said the new location was on the east side of College Avenue, out of the parameters of the VDP.
In the end, the commission was in favor of most of the
site plan, but decided on creating a subcommitteecomprised of commissioners Bob Perry and Brian Worley
to look into the placement of the house and the oak tree
that could serve as a fire hazard.
Commissioners Mark Schoeman and Maureen Wheeler were absent from the meeting. Matthew Bramlett
When its darkest, a time to shine

by John Pixley
ood for David Oxtoby.It is not

unusual to see the Claremont
Colleges and their students, staff
and presidents mentioned in the Los Angeles Times. I all but expect to see Jack Pitney, a Claremont McKenna College
political science professor and former Republican strategist, to be quoted when
there are significant political happenings.Hes just one example.
But I wasnt expecting to see Pomona Colleges
president when I read this article.
The story, appearing late last month, was about the
leaders of Californias three systems of public higher
educationthe University of California, California
State University and California Community Collegesasking President-elect Donald Trump to allow
students who are in the country illegally to continue
their educations without fear of deportation.
These students, who were brought here by their
parents at very young ages, have been protected from
deportation by President Obamas Deferred Action
for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program.Known
as Dreamers, they now have an uncertain future, with
Trump vowing to crack down on illegal immigration
and perhaps carry out large or larger-scale deportations.
The letter from the states public higher education
leaders probably isnt surprising. But I was surprised
when I went on to read that the entreaty came after
another letter signed by more than 300 college presidents pushing for DACA to be continuedand expanded as a moral imperative and national
necessity. These were schools like Yale, Harvard,
Stanford, USC and Occidental, as well as Pitzer and
Scripps here in Claremont.This letter was initiated by
Pomona College President David Oxtoby.
In explaining this bold, bright move, Mr. Oxtoby
said, DACAnot just for Pomona but for the whole
countryhas encouraged high school students to take
their studies more seriously and get into college.Before DACA, they didnt see the reason to go on, because they didnt see a future.
He has personally assured students that Pomona
College will fill any financial gaps should Trump end
observer
the program and their access to work permits.The
college also brought in an immigration lawyer to
speak to students seeking legal advice.
Additionally, students without legal status have
been advised not to study abroad next semester because we just dont know what will happen when they
try to return, Mr. Oxtoby said.
Mr. Oxtobys concern and leadershipinitiating a
call and inspiring others to make the same callon
this issue is indeed bold and bright.Pomona College
may not have as much to lose as the publicly-funded
universities and colleges, but this is definitely going
against what appears to be the new grain and standing
out, as President-elect Trump has spoken about withholding funds from institutions and entities that provide protection and assistance to those without
documentation.At the very least, it is a light shining
during this time when there is considerable uncertainty
and turbulence, if not downright anguish and fear.
What Pomona College and President Oxtoby are
doing is a light in this holiday season, when the power
of light in the dark, in the darkest and coldest time of
year, is celebrated.It is a light that shines even
brighter after this year full of controversy, outrage and
upset.
There are other of these lights shining forth in
Claremont and elsewhere.They are lights that show
the way from fear and angst to connection and love.
CHAP is another of these lights illuminating a path
forward here.The Claremont Homeless Advocacy
Program has been doing remarkable work in the last
few years, providing not only assistance but also actual shelter to those who are homeless in Claremont.
This is all done by volunteers, primarily from Pilgrim Place and the Quaker meeting, with assistance
from college students and people from other churches
in town. These folks are very hands-on, providing
meals, pairing up with homeless individuals to help
them sign up and get services and, most remarkably,
having the homeless stay overnight in the Quaker
meetinghouse.They have also purchased a house
where homeless people can stay.
Such actionnot just talk but real actionis a

bright light in a county with something like 44,000
homeless people. It has been a bold example as Los
Angeles and the county has struggled to take humane
action, instead of penalizing strategies, to deal with
this increasingly chronic problem.In last months
election, a new tax was approved in Los Angeles for
providing housing for the homeless, and the county is
considering a similar move to provide housing and
services for the homeless, many of whom deal with
physical, mental and substance abuse problems.
Furthermore, this action in Claremont is in sharp
contrast to what happened 10 years ago, when the
countys proposal to open a homeless service center
in this areaone of five in an effort to not have all
the homeless end up on Skid Row in LAwas quietly shelved after a public outcry over the idea. It is
truly a light shining bright, showing how to reach out
in community with love and compassion where there
was fear and shame.
This same bright, bold light was seen a couple
weeks ago when community leaders and residents
gathered at the Islamic center.They were all there in
solidarity, showing support and alliance, after the
mosque had received a threatening letter citing President-elect as the new sheriff in town. Right in the
face of ugly, dark fear and loathing, this was love and
the spirit of community powerfully shining forth.
A man in San Francisco, quoted recently in the Los
Angeles Times, who, like almost everyone in the city,
was upset about the result of the presidential election
had the right idea: When you are so angry, and you
feel like doing something negative, the best cure is to
do something positive.
He was applying adhesive tape to the multicolored
sticky notes on which people had written messages
after the election (Discrimination is sin, Pray,
Dont lose hope) and left on a subway wall.The
guy wanted to make sure the messages wouldnt fall
off or get blown away.
When there is darkness and cold, when there is uncertainty and fear and hate and danger, we need to see
the lights shining here and make sure our bright colors and hopes stay up.We need to see the lights
where they cant be, like the lights twinkling so high
in the swaying treetops above a house a couple streets
away. I have no idea how they got thereit must
have taken an awful lot of work, not to mention ingenuitybut there they are.
Pomona College Museum of

Art process
Dear Editor:
In response to Susan Schenks letter to
the editor (December 2), I write to address questions raised about Pomona Colleges interactions with the city of Claremonts planning and architectural
commissions throughout the planning and
design processes for the new Pomona College Museum of Art (PCMA).
Pomona College has complied with
each phase of the citys required processes for reviewing, approving and implementing the colleges Campus Master
Plan. In the case of the PCMA, the relevant plans have been reviewed by the
citys traffic and transportation commission, planning commission and architectural commission, as well as by the city
council. These city agencies, as well as
city staff, have been meeting with Pomona
College staff and providing feedback at
every step of the process for the past three
years.
According to the city website, The
Planning Commission advises the city
council on all matters dealing with the
present and future development of the city,
in accordance with the values and goals
defined in the citys General Plan. This includes reviewing, approving, or recommending city council approval of requests
for zone changes, subdivision maps and
variances.
Although it is not in the purview of the
planning commission to become involved
with architectural concepts, the commissioners felt that seeing conceptual drawings would help their decision-making regarding the master plan as it pertained to
the PCMA.
As a result, although we were not required to do so, Pomona College developed architectural concepts long before
we normally would for a construction
project because we believed it would be
beneficial for the commissioners and the
public. The main discussions in the planning commission centered on the site for
the new PCMA, and those questions were
addressed through ad hoc subcommittee
review following extensive discussion in
both the commission and city council,
where the plan was ultimately approved.
The city process for reviewing architectural concepts and plans begins with the
architectural commission. According to
the city website, The Architectural Commission typically reviews site and architectural plans for commercial, industrial,
institutional, and some residential proj-
READERS COMMENTS
ects to ensure that proposed developments

are in conformance with city codes and
aesthetic standards.
The commission first reviewed the conceptual drawings for the PCMA in October 2015. At that time, several suggestions were made for altering the
conceptsuggestions which were incorporated into subsequent drawings and, ultimately, the actual architectural plans and
schematics. Plans were presented again
at two separate meetings in November
2016. On both occasions, the commissioners made recommendations for modifications, and the college complied.
It is important to note that the architectural commissioners understand the scale
and placement of the PCMA, which they
believed was suitable for the architectural context. Their feedback has focused on
the fit of the building with the architectural
style of the surrounding structures, the
aesthetic aspects of the buildings exterior and the aspects of the museum that will
enhance the communitys enjoyment and
use of the new museum.
Recommendations were also made in
regard to the placement of Renwick House
on its new site and the surrounding landscaping. Pomona College has taken this
feedback very seriously, resulting in several substantial changes to the museums
design to address these concerns.
Some of the changes that have been incorporated over the past three years of
community conversations and public hearings include: substantially re-designing
the original PCMA concept to provide a
more robust and welcoming entrance on
Bonita Avenue; re-working the designs
for the multi-purpose room and courtyard
to provide more versatile spaces for public use; re-designing the west side of the
building to enhance the aspect visible from
the public library, including adding windows, expanding the art walk and
adding more extensive landscaping with
seating; enhancing the landscaping plan
around the buildings loading dock as well
as adding the College Avenue Garden at
the corner of College Avenue and Second
Street and adding a piece of public art to
the courtyard facing College Avenue.
A revised plan moving Renwick House
slightly south on its new site and modifying the surrounding landscaping will be
presented to the architectural commissions ad hoc subcommittee for review.
Pomona College has appreciated the

ongoing participation of the community,
and we believe the suggestions and revisions have resulted in an even more functional and beautiful teaching museum for
students and public spaces for the Claremont community.
Note: The new Pomona College Museum of Art is fully funded by Pomona College including necessary upgrades and
improvements to sidewalks, roads and other public infrastructure.

Water costs
Dear Editor:
At the December 13city council meeting, it became clear to me that the group
that started the water takeover has lost
sight of the initial complaints and reasoning that led to the voters approving Measure W.
Some proponents of measure W reminded the city council that it was their
duty to fulfill the will of the people in
Claremont and pursue an appeal of the
courts recent rejection of the citys eminent domain case. However, some comments made by the proponents should
cause concern for many who voted yes on
W. It is no longer about lowering our water costs but rather about owning the water company for the sake of owning the
water company, no matter the cost.
Some who spoke clearly used the water rate argument as a bait-and-switch to
bring about a voting coalition against the
demon water company, when their overarching goal was always municipal ownership and their own political control of
our water system. It was never about costs,
or break-even points; it was always about
control and power.
How else should we interpret the several commentsTuesday nightfrom proponents that they always knew water
prices will go up under city ownership?
I have opposed city ownership from
the start.However, many people voted for
Measure W on the economic argument
that there would be a payback.It is now
clear that will never happen.And, when
the dust from the current lawsuit settles,
the city will be on the hook not only for its
own costs, $6 million with the meter still
running, but Golden States legal defense
costs which will likely be at least that

amount also.
If you voted for Measure W because
you thought the city would be able to deliver water at lower prices, be aware that
the proponents never did have that goal,
and definitely dont have it now.
There will be an opportunity to voice
your objections to the city council during
a meeting in January when the council
discusses how they might choose to proceed in light of their failure in Superior
Court. Please plan to attend when the date
is set.

The price of justice

Dear Editor:
Hold on just one minute! Just because
we have lost the opening round of a long
legal process does not mean that you
should pack it in and give up. Justice is not
cheaply gained, nor is justice served if a
judge happens to find that a privatelyowned water system is to be kept in private hands over the overriding interest of
the public here in Claremont.
Some people, including a judge or two,
can believe that somehow any amount of
profit is okay and permissible, no matter
what the cost of the water is. Let us for one
moment recall why this all started. Golden State Water made it a habit to ask for a
water rate increase every two years. Some
Claremont residents were charged a fee for
successfully saving water, because the water company was admittedly making less
money. The cost of using water was becoming a real hardship for some of our citizens.
Water happens to be a basic necessity.
We cant live without it. Why should we
trust a water company to do anything other than try to maximize its profits? One
must ask oneself how the public interest
can be served if it is to be kept in the
hands of a private companyif all we
see as a result is more and more greed and
more and more unfair charges.
The judge decided that it is in the publics best interest to have the water remain
in a private, investor-owned utilitys
hands. How can this be in the publics
best interest if we are to be left prostrate by
the continuing interest of a company
whose main goal is to serve themselves instead of serving the public? Water is a necessity. Its cost should not be determined
by how much money you can make off of
the backs of the people.

Food waste in Americaand what to do about it

by Patrick Mobley
t is estimated that American consumers, businesses and farms spend

$218 billion a year growing, processing, transporting and disposing more than
50 million tons of food that is never eaten.
While this figure includes an average present value

of the trillions of gallons of water lost, it cannot account for the effect of the 133 million tons of greenhouse gases released from buried food waste.
Meanwhile, one in seven Americans is food insecure.
Almost 85 percent of food waste occurs at consumer-facing businesses like restaurants and supermarkets and at homes. The Environmental Protection
Agency (epa.gov, it might be best to visit the site as
soon as possible) launched a program in 2015 to reduce food loss and waste by 50 percent by 2030. In
2012, California set the ambitious goal of not less
than 75 percent of the solid waste generated be
source-reduced, recycled or composted by 2020.
Since then, California has passed increasingly stringent bills calling for reductions in food waste going
from retailers to landfills (see calrecycle.ca.gov for a
summary). California is also a leader in dealing with
home-generated food waste, with 1.3 million households in 63 communities throughout the state participating in source-separated-organics pickup. This is
where food waste is separated from organic yard
Demystifying
SUSTAINABILITY
waste and composted.
So what can you do? Assuming Claremonters are
like most Americans, you waste 25 percent to 40 percent of the food you buy and deal with it by putting it
down the garbage disposal or throwing it in the trash.
Given the drought in California and the potential for
greenhouse gas generation, neither of these are good
options. Like many problems, the solution is conceptually simple but practically difficultbuy what you
need; eat what you buy.
Tips on how to do this are on the web (calrecycle,
stopwaste.org, fda.gov, savethefood.com). The consistent top tips are 1. Plan before going to the store
(check the fridge and cupboard, dont buy mass quantities you wont eat, dont shop hungry); 2. First in,
first out of the fridge (older stuff moved to the front);
3. Wilted veggies at home are fine/ugly vegetables
and fruit can be cheaper; 4. Check expiration dates on
what you buy in the store, and best by dates at
home. Foods are often quite good and edible after the
best by date (see product dating at fsis.usda.gov); 5.
Use your freezer (for example, prepare two meals and
freeze one). To minimize greenhouse gases and water
use, cut back on red meat and dairy; buy locally produced food as much as possible (shop the local
farmers market).
Preventing food waste is the best solution, but what
should you do with the food that has escaped your
best efforts and gone bad or the inevitable food
scraps?
Consider composting, the aerobic transformation of
organic matter into soil-like humus or compost. Composting avoids the water use and greenhouse gases of
discarding food waste and enhances soil quality and
water retention. Composting workshops are offered
by the growing club (look for the farmer training program at sarvodayafarms.com) or the Chino Basin
Water Conservation District.
Also search Sustainable Claremont (sustainableclaremont.org) for compost to get descriptions of
composting. Finally, what are you to do with leftover
food prepared for a gathering? Contact your local
food bank, religious organization or homeless shelter
(for example, Inland Valley Hope Partners, Granite
Creek Community Church, Claremont Homeless Advocacy Program [CHAP]).
Demystifying Sustainability is a project of Sustainable
Claremont (sustainableclaremont.org). Follow them on
Facebook (facebook.com/sustainableclaremont) and on
Twitter@GreenClaremont.
Eight candidates file, qualify for city council election
ith the nomination

period closed for
the Claremont City
Council election, eight candidates have qualified and will
vie for two open seats this
March.
Incumbents Larry Schroeder and
Corey Calaycay will face six challengersAnthony Grynchal, Zachary
Courser, Abraham Prattella, Michael
Keenan, Korey Johnson and Murray G.
Monroe.
All eight candidates are Claremont
residents, a requirement to run for city
council. With the exception of the incumbents, Mr. Calaycay and Mr.
Schroeder, none has previously served
on city councils or commissions except
for Mr. Courser, who has served on
Claremonts Traffic and Transportation
Commission since 2015.
The following information on each
candidate was obtained from the nomination papers and candidates statements on file at the Claremont city
clerks office.
Corey Calaycay: Mr. Calaycay, 46,
has served on the city council since
2005. He is the vice president of the
board of trustees for the San Gabriel
Valley Mosquito and Vector Control
District, is an assistant supervisor at
Fairplex and is chairman for the County
of Los Angeles Public Library Commission. Mr. Calaycay has lived in
Claremont for 43 years.
I always remember that I work for
you, Mr. Calaycay said in his candidates statement. I recognize and re-
spect that Claremont residents are very

diverse politically, socially and economically and have a high expectation
of elected officials and city government.
Zachary Courser: Mr. Courser, 40,
is a professor and research director of
the Dreier Roundtable at Claremont
McKenna College. He came to Claremont from Washington state in 1995 to
attend CMC and returned to teach from
2006 to 2008. After earning his PhD in
government from the University of Virginia, Mr. Courser came back to Claremont in 2014 after accepting a teaching
position with CMC.
Because I care about our community and its problems, I have worked
hard as a traffic and transportation commissioner, pressing for the formation of
a subcommittee to address the problem
of train noise, Mr. Courser explained
in his candidates statement.
New and continuing challenges lie
ahead, he said, making particular note
of the water system takeover and the
Gold Line extension through Claremont. Addressing complex issues like
these begins with actively listening to
residents.
Anthony Grynchal: Mr. Grynchal,
26, is a realtor with Re/Max in Upland.
He attended Western Christian in Claremont for kindergarten through eighth
grade, moving on to Damien High
School from which he graduated in

trademarked in 2014, is a real estate associate with Re/Max Champions in Upland.
I want your vote because I will

bring financial transparency and responsibility, and I will get your water
bill down, he wrote in his statement. I
have had the opportunity to work with
governments across the world. I have a
passion to serve people and I work
hard.
Korey Johnson: Korey Johnson, a
business leader, qualified for the election but does not have a candidates
statement or statement of economic interests on file with the city clerk.
Michael Keenan: Michael Keenan,
62, is a professional window cleaner
and previous candidate for city council.
Mr. Keenans platform advocates that
Claremont become a charter city. He
would like Claremont citizens to regain
and establish greater home rule over
municipal affairs, core services and natural and renewable resources by becoming a charter city under the
California Constitution. As your city
councilmember, I will continue to work
and apply best practices between the
city manager and other commissions in
the transition to a green city-based
charter.
Murray Monroe: As a 45-year
Claremont resident and investment advisor, Mr. Monroe, 53, aims to have the
citys policies and practices reflect the
core values of Claremont. I am running to continue and further Claremonts progressive agenda including
the purchase of the water company,
modernization of the police station and
sustainability. Ongoing concerns include our town and gown relationship,
our wilderness park issues and business
development.
Abraham Prattella: A realtor, pas-
tor and CEO, Mr. Prattella said his goal

is to use his experience of making
deals happen and win-win solutions.
Highlights of Mr. Prattellas candidates
statement include implementing costeffective solutions for the expansion of
police services by upgrading police
equipment and technology, remodeling
the main station and creating school
substations at each school site. I want
to increase educational funding for
more teaching staff, training and school
technology, he wrote. And to enhance Foothill Boulevard and Arrow
Highway entry points to reflect the
beauty of the rest of our city.

Schroeder, 67, would like to see projects through that were started during
his term. Mr. Schroeder was first
elected to the council in 2009, after
serving on the community services
commission from 2007 to 2009. His
goals include continuing with the water
system issues, maintaining balanced
budgets and improving the police facility. I trust my performance as a city
council member has earned your support, he said in his statement.

Carol Ann Wasserson
OBITUARIES
Loving wife, mother and grandmother

Carol Ann Paige Hoover Wasserson, a
longtime Claremont resident, died on
December 2, 2016. She was 84.
She was born in Long Beach on February 8, 1932 to Paul and Elsie Paige
and was raised in Claremont. After graduating from Claremont High School, she
took classes at Woodbury Business
School and then married Edward Curtis
Hoover. Carol was one of the strongest
women around and a force to be reckoned with, her family shared. When her
first husband died and she was left a single mother to two young children at 28,
she showed that strength and built a
name and a life for herself and her family.
She took a job working for Claremont
attorney Guy Lemaster, and met and
married Sam Wasserson. Their whirlwind romance was like that of a Katherine Hepburn movie. Sam was Carols
Humphrey Bogart, and he gave her the
world. Together, they left no part of the
globe unreached. The couple spent an
incredible, adventurous, wonderful 51
years together. Partners in business, in
life and in love, Carol and Sam shared a
romance and a connection unlike any
other. They worked together, they
laughed together and they raised chil-
dren together.
Mrs. Wasserson provided firm but
loving guidance to her son Clif and
daughter Cindy. She valued strength,
beauty, courage and honesty, and spent
her life instilling these principles in her
children. They remember times she
caught them skipping school or driving
the family car without permission and,

on those days, her children learned a lesson early on about their mother: No one
messed with Carol Wasserson.
Clif and Cindy remember their mom
affectionately, as intelligent, witty and
beautifulthe embodiment of grace and
elegance. They remember her on the
golf course, around the bridge table and
in the kitchen. They remember her
spunk, her vivacity and her remarkable
ability to love those around her. Her four
granddaughters remember her for her
gentle voice that soothed them to sleep,
recounting the magical fairytale adventures of Snow White and Rose Red that
she read to them so many times.
She also had a knack for fun. Mrs.
Wasserson loved a party like no one else
could. She loved gathering around
friends and family, sharing meals and
memories. Whether acting as the host or
a guest, she always had a way of being
the life of the party. She loved her vodka
martinis, shaken not stirred, with a twist.
Today, her family cherishes the
memories they shared with Mrs.
Wasserson and the lessons she taught
them. Her legacy will live on through
the photos, the passport stamps, the
recipes, the stories and the values she
held and imparted.

To others she was mom, sister, friend
and neighbor, but to me she was and will
always be my Meko, her granddaughter
Amy wrote. Thank you for giving me
your height, your blonde hair, your pie
recipe and your love of travel. Thank
you for loving me and teaching me
strength and courage.
Thank you for being my Meko.
Goodnight, Sugar Plum was how she
told me goodnight, Amy continued.
Goodnight, Sugar Plum. We love you
and miss you already.
Carol is survived by her husband,
Sam Wasserson, and her two children,
Clif Hoover and Cindy Rosenthal; four
grandchildren, Julia Hoover, Lindsey
Andersen, Ellie Rosenthal and Amy
Rosenthal; and one great grandchild,
Kilian Andersen.
A service celebrating Mrs. Wassersons life was held on December 14 at
Stone Funeral Home in Upland, followed by burial at Oak Park Cemetery
in Claremont.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests
donations be made to the Wounded Warrior Project, PO Box 758517 Topeka,
KS 66675-8517. For information, visit

OBITUARIES
Teacher, art patron, traveler, philanthropist

Katherine Kay Koeth, a longtime
Claremont resident, died on November
29, 2016, surrounded by her family and
friends. She was 78.
She was born on February 10, 1938 in
Cleveland, Ohio to William and Marion
Koeth, and moved to Claremont in 1956
to attend Pomona College. She graduated
in 1960 and went on to pursue a career in
education, teaching elementary school in
the Upland Unified School District.
Ms. Koeth was a parishioner for 60
years at Our Lady of the Assumption
Catholic Church. Later in life, she trav-
eled the world with her mother and sister

Maryyou name the place, shed been
there. Ms. Koeth loved painting and had
exhibited her work in a few shows. She
was a strong supporter of the performing
arts as well, having held season tickets to
the Candlelight Pavilion since the dinner
theaters opening and catching every play
presented by the Inland Valley Repertory
Theatre. She was a voracious reader, devouring books in every genre right up
until the end of her life. Ms. Koeth was
also a generous philanthropist, with education being a passionate cause.
Kay is survived by her sister Mary

Koeth Shacklett, niece Star Shacklett and
nephews Michael and Mitchell Shacklett.
She also leaves one grand-nephew and six
grand-nieces.
There will be a memorial mass on
Monday, December 19, 2016 at 10:30
a.m. at Our Lady of the Assumption
Catholic Church, located at 435 Berkeley
Ave. in Claremont. In lieu of flowers, the
family suggests donations be made in
Kays honor to Pomona College.

Harold Way
Dedicated professor, administrator and volunteer
Harold Frank Way, Jr. died peacefully
of cancer at his home in Pasadena on
Sunday, December 4, 2016 at age 87. He
was surrounded by his loved ones.
Mr. Way was born in Chillicothe, Missouri in 1929. He received his bachelors
degree from Northeast State Teachers
College (now Truman State) and a PhD
in government from Cornell University
in 1958. He taught at the University of
Missouri in Columbia and then accepted
a faculty position at the University of
California, Riverside in 1957. For 34
years, he taught and researched the con-
stitutional rights of criminal defendants

and the religious liberty clause of the
First Amendment. He published widely
in books, anthologies and journals.
Mr. Way served as the pre-law advisor
at UCR for many years, and achieved
great joy from helping students attain
their dream of attending law school. He
received the Academic Senates Distinguished Teaching Award in 1986. His
university service included the positions
of divisional dean, associate dean, assistant vice chancellor and department chair.
Following his retirement in 1991, he
did volunteer work at Rancho Santa Ana

Botanic Garden in Claremont for 15
years. He was also a volunteer reading
tutor for elementary students in the public schools of Claremont and Pasadena
for 20 years. Gardening, travel and cooking were passions throughout his lifetime. Leadership roles came to him
naturally, whether at the university or in
the community. He lived a life where
family was his first priority, and where a
strong ethical center guided him on a
daily basis.
Mr. Way is survived by his wife Bar-
bara; his daughters, Madeline Lee and

Deborah Way; his stepson Michael Burt;
his sons-in-law, Gregory Lee and Sean
Pitonak, and grandchildren Claire Way,
Rachel Way, Alexander Lee, Jeffrey Lee,
and Michael Burt. He is also survived by
a sister, Sally Reynolds and a brother,
John Way. His son, David, predeceased
him in 1987.
Mr. Way has a large extended family
in Missouri where a memorial service
will be held in the spring of 2017. In lieu
of flowers, the family requests that a contribution be made to a local food bank.

CHAP hosts holiday potluck, reunion for participants
ason Procsal would most

likely still be on the street
if it werent for CHAP. He
was one of the lucky oneshe
was quickly admitted into the
program and given an opportunity to continue school while
he was given shelter. Now hes
a college graduate and already
looking forward to grad
school.
Because of them and their resources,
they got me to the next step, Mr. Procsal said.
Mr. Procsal is one of dozens of CHAP
(Claremont Homeless Advocacy Program) graduates and current participants
who were on hand December 7 for the
annual holiday meeting, held in a basement room at Claremont United Church
of Christ. Volunteers and participants
(CHAPs term for the homeless people
they help) from the past two years of the
programs efforts mingled and caught up
while being served food and sparkling
cider.
CHAP has been reaching out to disadvantaged and homeless Claremonters
since 2014. It was born out of the Occupy Claremont movement, according to
co-founder Karl Hilgert. The homeless
population still had nowhere to go when
the tents came down, he said, and residents came together to reach out and
help their underprivileged neighbors.
Initially, Mr. Hilgert said, people
thought there were only three or four
homeless people in Claremont.
In the first year, they observed 50 different people in Claremont, riding the
ridge between Upland and Claremont
and Pomona and La Verne and San
Dimas, he said.
Mr. Hilgert, donning a Santa hat to accompany his long white beard, explained
that CHAPs early volunteers reached
out to 40 of those 50 people in the first
year, putting them into programs that
would help them on their feet. They received shelter at the Quaker house on
Harrison Avenue and given the opportunity to work.
Some of those programs include
CHAP Cafs, which give participants

the hours of 8 p.m. to 8 a.m.

I just want to give back, he said with
a smile.
Before the dinner, all participants and
advocates joined in a circle, first to pray,
and then to share stories and recognize
those who have moved on or stayed behind to become advocates.
Throughout the meeting, participants
greeted each other like old friends, catching up and sharing stories of their roads
to recovery.
One participant, Nasser Abousamok,
started out as a homeless man on federal
parole. He was picked up by the CHAP
program and now works at Tikka, a fastcasual Indian food restaurant, and goes

the opportunity to earn money in places

like Harvey Mudd College and Our
Lady of the Assumption Church.
Some participants, such as Tom
Magdzik, went from being helped by the
program to helping other participants
themselves. Mr. Magdzik serves as one
of the overnight hosts at the Quaker
building, overseeing the house between
I dont know, man, I just got lucky,

he said.
Mr. Procsal, through a program for
veterans called New Directions, was one
of the first people in the CHAP program
to get his own place to live. He credits
the program for helping him through the
year he was there, and he is looking toward the future.
I just want to get a job that I like that
gives me satisfaction. I dont care about
money. I just want money I could live off
of, he said. Tomorrow Im going to
buy a flash drive with my resume on it.
Im going through quite a change.

Pack loses in tough fight in Carter Champions Cup
laremont High School

boys soccer got to compete in the 2016 Carter
Champions Cup because of their
shared Palomares League title
last year. However, last Friday
the Pack had very little to celebrate as they lost to Redlands
East Valley, 4-0, in the third
round.
Claremont came out like a storm and
looked like they would
SPORTING
dominate the momenLIFE
tum, but could never
capitalize on many missed opportunities to
get on the board. Redlands East Valley, on
the other hand, was very successful at getting every possession to count, scoring
three goals in rapid succession about
halfway through the first half.
Senior midfielder Alec Hooper scored
the first two goals including one after a
slight mix-up in front of the Packs net. His
second one came only a few minutes later on a break-away that appeared to be the
result of a missed offsides call.
Brandon Lee got the third goal on a
corner kick and the wildcats went into the
halftime break up 3-0.
During the second half, the play was a
lot more balanced and Claremont had several opportunities to get on the board. But
every time, they either failed to get the ball
in the right place or were foiled by the topnotch play from REVs goalkeeper Rene
Gonzalez.
The fourth and final goal came halfway
through the second half, when senior Nick
Perez fed the ball to senior Justin Litchfield for another beautifully executed play.
Asked if he was surprised by the lopsided result, Redlands East Valley coach
Ted Small was pretty blunt.
Redlands East Valley junior Jesus

Mora heads the ball away from the
Wildcat goal following a corner kick.

Redlands East Valleys Sergio Hipolito fights it out with Claremonts Justyn
Fisher on Friday during an early-season tournament game in Claremont. REV
did an excellent job setting up plays while the Pack was sluggish getting back
on defense, resulting in a 4-0 loss for the Pack.
I think they [Claremont] have a good

program but keep in mind, we are ranked
number two in the state and fifth in the nation. With our run last year and our experience, we are used to winning. Until that
stops, until someone puts us in our place,
we are going to come into every game believing we are going to win and believing
its going to be lopsided to be honest,
Coach Small said.
The Wildcats are the defending CIF
Southern Section division three champions, defeating Cathedral on penalty kicks
last year in the finals. REV also defeated
Quartz Hill 3-2 in the semi final match, the
same team that eliminated Claremont in
the second round.

Lopsided victory? Very much so, said
Coach Fred Bruce-Oliver. As soon as
they win the ball, they are going over the
top and forward and pretty much every
time they got in and the guy scored goals.
We got caught watching and were slow on
our feet. When we got the ball, we tried to
play soccerthats what I am encouraged
about. It did not result in goals or anything.
I think it really shows our inexperience.

The coach of Carter High invited the
previous seasons league champions in
the southern section to be in the tournament that serves as a start to the new season. The tournament is run round-robin
style with two sets of four teams.
Claremont came in third in their group
and were scheduled to play the third-place
team in the other group. But because that
team was Diamond Bar, a Palomares
league opponent, the two agreed to switch
and play non-league opponents. Claremont defeated Diamond Ranch 4-1 and
Diamond Bar beat Ganesha.
It costs $485 per team. I wish I thought
of that racket, Coach Bruce-Oliver said.

Join in Messiah sing

along with the Claremont
Symphony Orchestra
Recent studies have shown that group singing
can help reduce stress and increase pleasure-causing chemicals in the brain.
If that sounds goodwith the hustle and bustle
of holiday gift-giving, travel and meal-preparation
weighing heavy this time of yearthen a longtime
Claremont tradition may be just the thing.
Claremont Symphony Orchestras 33rd annual
holiday sing-along, where the audience IS the
chorus, takes place Sunday, December 18 at 1:30
and 4 p.m. at Bridges Hall of Music, featuring the
Christmas portion of George Friderick Handels oratorio Messiah, Worthy is the Lamb and the
traditional finale Hallelujah!
Soloists include Jessie Tisdale, soprano;
Christina Roszhart, mezzo-soprano; Eliseo Zari III,
tenor; and John-David Wiese, baritone.
Science Nordic reported recently that Norwegian researchers found participation in a choir is
linked with better mental health.
The health benefits of singing are both physical
and psychological, said Graham Welch, chair of
music education at the Institute of Education at the
University of London, in a Heart Research UK
statement. The benefits of singing, the study found,
range from the physicalbecause it boosts oxygen levels in the bloodto the psychologicalbecause it lowers stress and boosts feelings of
community.
The event is free and open to the public. Little
Bridges is located at 150 E. Fourth St. More information is at claremontso.org.

Assembly sheds light on depression, seeks to combat suicide
tudents at Claremont High School

filed into the Wolfpack gym on December 1, some grabbing a spot in
the bleachers and others sitting on the
floor, ready for a lively presentation on a
sobering topic.
The teens were gathered for a Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention Assembly, aimed at helping young
people recognize the signs of depression and, if
needed, provide a lifeline to someone thinking about
ending their life.
Needing help is nothing to be ashamed about, event
organizer Kirby Palmer told the students. Mr. Palmer,
a clinical social worker whos a consultant to the
Claremont Police Department, noted that depression
can happen to anyone.
It can stem from a number of causes, including
physical illness, trauma, ongoing stress, substance
abuse or a chemical imbalance.
A friend in need
What is depression? Mr. Palmer posed. He answered the question by painting a picture of someone
in crisis.
He asked the kids to picture a friend who once
thrived academically, but is now struggling with their
grades or even skipping school. Perhaps theyve lost
interest in activities they once loved and, while they
were once friendly and fun, theyve become withdrawn.
They may frequently say they are bored, which Mr.
Palmer said is a word young people often use to describe a more serious state.
They may be more angry and irritableyou may
say, This is not the person Ive known all these
years, Mr. Kirby said. Maybe they say they cant
sleep well and they dont have as much energy as
usual. All of these changes are signs of depression.
Having depression is like trying to play soccer in
concrete shoes, Mr. Palmer shared.
When someone is feeling so heavy and dark, they
start having negative thoughts. They may think that
nothing will change, that theyre a bad person, he
said. They may even start to have thoughts about
hurting or killing themselves.
Recovery from depression may entail therapy and,
in some cases, medication. Whatever the treatment,
improvement is possible.
I want you to know depression is a time-limited
thing, he emphasized. Once you start to feel better,
the negative thoughts go away. With this in mind,
Mr. Palmer urged students not to seek a permanent
solution to a temporary problem.
Clara Dehmer, assistant principal of student services
at CHS, took a moment to assure the teens that the
staff and administration at the high school are there to
listen.
The adults here like working with your age group.
We like your enthusiasm and your passion, she said.
If you need our support, just say, I need help. We
are here for you.
An important calling card
Students were next shown a video about the Yellow
Ribbon Suicide Prevention Program. It was founded
in 1994 by the parents and friends of Mike Emme, a
bright and loving 17-year-old who committed suicide.
They decided to honor Mikes memory by founding an organization dedicated to ensuring no other
teens find themselves in his placefeeling despondent and not knowing how to ask for help.
The film next introduced the nonprofits Ask4Help
card. One side of the card, small enough to be stowed
in a wallet or purse, features seven words a teen in crisis can say to a counselor, teacher, clergy, doctor, parent or friend: I need to use my yellow ribbon.
Many young people have reached out to the Emme

Junior Clara Riggio talks about her experiences with depression during a Yellow Ribbon assembly recently
at Claremont High School.
family, sharing that they had pondered suicide and

their lives were saved by using an Ask4Help card.
If someone hands you a yellow card, sharing that
they are dangerously depressed or even contemplating
suicide, you dont have to be a therapist to help. Stay
with your friend, the card advises, and listen to their
concerns. And get help, either by notifying a caring
adult or by dialing the suicide hotline printed on the
card.
These cards are distributed to each attendee at a
Yellow Ribbon assembly, held every other year at
Claremont High School and El Roble Intermediate
and at campuses across the nation.
Bringing it home
A student speaker then took to the mic, bringing the
story of teenage depression from the hypothetical to
the real.
CHS junior Clara Riggio acknowledged that she
might seem like an unlikely candidate for depression.
Shes widely recognizable on campus because of her
achievements, such as membership on the CHS
Dance Team and involvement with the schools theater department.
What her peers might not know, she said, is that a
year and a half ago she was in a very bad place.
School has always been incredibly stressful, and it
was extremely difficult to keep up with my extra-curricular activities, Clara said.
Her anxiety was compounded by self-criticism.
Ive always had a voice telling me Im not good
enough, Clara said. I worry about my weight, my
personalityeven my annoying laugh.
Things came to a head after she experienced the
loss of two close friends. One of these was Esm
Page, who committed suicide as a CHS freshman in
March 2015.
Clara didnt mention Esmwho liked to be called
Ezraby name, because Mr. Palmer had opted not to
make the event specifically about her suicide.
When theres a suicide on a campus, theres always
the danger that another teen who is in a troubled headspace might view the victim as a martyr or an example to be followed.
Nonetheless, Esms suicide had a profound impact
on the campus, on the community and on Clara.
I had known this person almost my entire life. My
sadness was immense, she said. I was constantly
asking myself, What could I have done?
Clara said she understands firsthand how easy it is

to have self-destructive thoughts. Believe me, I
know those thoughtsthose feelings that make you
want to punch and kick and tear your hair out, she
said.
In April of 2015, she began seeing a therapist. I
learned that the feelings I was having were depression, Clara said.
She said she continues to see a therapist and takes
some medication. She has also learned ways of dealing with sadness and stress. One of her favorite techniques is to recall the things that make her happy, like
pancakes, classic rock, Disneyland and crunchy
leaves.
Clara says she has seen her life improve immensely
since asking for help.
Im still not happy every day. I still have dark
thoughts, but I am so much more confident, she said.
In reality, taking care of your mind is as important as
taking care of your body.
Mr. Palmer said he was lucky to find a student like
Clara willing to speak at the assembly.
I thought it was extremely brave, he said. I
thought she was very articulate and right on point.
Suicide is the second leading cause of death among
young people between the ages of 10 and 24, according to statistics on The Jason Foundation website;
each day in our nation, there is an average of more
than 5,240 suicide attempts among teens in grades 7
through 12.
CHS sophomore Elsie Chen said she hopes things
like the Yellow Ribbon assembly can make that number smaller. I think its really cool. I really love how
theyre open to talk to us, she said. I love the
posters that say, You matter.

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.

or estate, or both, of BRUCE FOSTER NICHOLES aka
BRUCE F. NICHOLES A PETITION FOR PROBATE
has been filed by Henry Foster Nicholes in the Superior
Court of California, County of LOS ANGELES. THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that Henry Foster Nicholes be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. THE PETITION requests
authority to administer the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow
the personal representative to take many actions without
obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will
be required to give notice to interested persons unless they
have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.)
The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant
the authority. A HEARING on the petition will be held
on Dec. 22, 2016 at 8:30 AM in Dept. No. 79 located at
111 N. Hill St., Los Angeles, CA 90012. IF YOU OBJECT
to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the
hearing and state your objections or file written objections
with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may
be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must
file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance
of letters to a general personal representative, as defined
in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60
days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you
of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate
Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may
affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult
with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU
MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a
person interested in the estate, you may file with the court
a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing
of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors,

and persons who may otherwise be interested in the WILL
or estate, or both of SUE ANN SERDENGECTI. A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by ALYSA M.
SERDENGECTI in the Superior Court of California,
County of LOS ANGELES. THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that ALYSA M. SERDENGECTI be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. THE PETITION requests the decedent's WILL and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate.
The WILL and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act with limited authority. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court
approval. Before taking certain very important actions,
however, the personal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless they have
waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The
independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition
and shows good cause why the court should not grant the
authority. A HEARING on the petition will be held in this
court as follows: 01/26/17 at 8:30AM in Dept. 79 located
at 111 N. HILL ST., LOS ANGELES, CA 90012 IF YOU
OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU
ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail
a copy to the personal representative appointed by the
court within the later of either (1) four months from the
date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California
Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing
or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052
of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes
and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor.
You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file
kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special
Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and
appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as
provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for
Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

2015 Change From Previous Year
Avg. Days On Market of Homes Sold
Approx. Number of Homes Currently For Sale 77
Following the month of October, when the number of sales was in the teens, November experienced one of the largest numbers of closings for all of 2016, with 44
homes recorded sold. This is based more on coincidence rather than a specific market condition between the two months. Inventory is still hovering in the mid-70s, but
that is likely to drop off as we enter the new year. With the holidays upon us, December is likely to be a slower month for sales going into escrow, rather than closing
escrow, which will be reflected in January statistics. Interest rates have risen since last
month and are now hovering around 4.25%. With the FED meeting again this month
to discuss the future of interest rates, it will be very interesting to see what happens
to rates over the coming months. Stay tuned for the Claremont Market Year in Review
Snapshot next month!
Happy Holidays!

WHAT GEOFF'S CLIENTS ARE SAYING . . .

Geoff exceeded our very high expectations in the recent sale of our property in the Claremont Village. We appreciated the
professionalism, courtesy and speed with which he shepherded the process from start to finish, keeping us fully informed throughout. It is
a pleasure to see a master at work in any field and a special pleasure when I am the direct beneficiary!
V. Sathe & S. Sathe
All along the way, from the search, to offer, to escrow, to closing, the process was smooth and painless. We were informed all along the
way of what to expect and when. I cannot recommend Geoff Hamill highly enough. He is a professional who has years of knowledge he
generously shares.
J. Spera & A. Conway
Geoff did an outstanding job selling our property in Upland. His attention to detail was superior. We immediately recommended that our
son list another Upland property with Geoff as a result of our satisfaction with the service provided.
S. Campbell & O. Campbell
Geoff helped me with my recent real estate purchase and was fantastic and professional. To be honest I was a little reluctant to call him
because I thought he only services higher value homes. He didn't care what the value of the home was and he treated it like it was a million
dollar deal and was on top of every step in the process. Geoff probably didn't know it at the time, but I was preoccupied with my father in
and out of the hospital and I didn't have much time to be involved in the transaction. Geoff took care of the whole thing and was a constant
professional! I'm so glad I chose him to be my agent.
