CUSD charter school
Dear Editor:
I am deeply disturbed that our School
Board will consider a petition from
Wings Schools to open a charter school in
Claremont. The president of my college
alma mater declared he would like to
"deny or at least tear a corner off the
diploma for any graduate who didn't
know the Northwest Ordinance of 1847.
Here is the seat of public education in
the United States. It was that ordinance
of congress that required a public univer-
sity be established before granting settle-
ment or future statehood of the Ohio
Territory (the region now of Ohio, Indi-
ana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and
Minnesota). Private education has not
been denied and has its own history.
However, public education has responsi-
bility at the root of that which feeds and
nourishes mind and heart of our informed
democracy.
Perhaps the current state of world af-
fairs invites growth in private schools.
Charter schools propose to fill in blanks
of on-going school districts. They seem to
operate by having their cake and eating
it too, drawing on public money and
property as serves their pockets.
Rather, I commend those with insight
and financial resources to direct their en-
ergy to creative growth and extension
within our public schools. Our public
schools are centers of common knowl-
edge of each other and learning. Lets
make Claremont an example of how to
do so.

ceremony as Gold
Line to Claremont
officially begins
After years of planning, the Gold Line foothill ex-
tension is officially underway.
The light rail project, which will pass through Clare-
mont, broke ground Saturday morning in an event at-
tended by residents and numerous elected officials, both
local and national. Over 700 people attended the event,
according to Foothill Gold Line Construction CEO
Habib Balian.
Getting here took a lot of effort, some serious hard
work and a bit of luck, Foothill Gold Line Board
Chairman Doug Tessitor said.
The groundbreaking ceremony signals the start of the
nine-year, $1.5 billion project that will extend the rail
line from Azusa through Glendora, San Dimas, La
Verne, Pomona, Claremont and Montclair. It is sched-
uled to open in 2026.

Council approves street sweeping signs, makeover at Joslyn

ginning of the streets, with instructions mind. favor of the signs, but was concerned

T
he Claremont city coun-
cil approved new street
sweeping signs and an
addition to the Joslyn Senior
Center during a relatively quick
Tuesday meeting.
The street-sweeping signs will be in-
stalled at just three locations in the city,
with anticipation of more being rolled
out in the future, according to a report by
Kristin Mikula of the Community Serv-
ices Department. Those streets include
Harvard Avenue, between Twelfth Street
and Foothill Boulevard; Stanislaus Cir-
cle east of Shenandoah Drive; and
Woodstock Court, west of Navarro
Drive.
The signs would be placed at the be-

from 5:30 to 9:30 a.m. twice a month,
Ms. Mikula said. The
CITY streets affected are on a
COUNCIL shortlist made by the
city of streets where
parking most affects the sweepers.
The plan has been in the making for a
few months, and city staff got the word
out to the affected streets about the in-
stallation of the signs during a Parks,
Hillsides and Utilities meeting in June.
Initially, the city wanted to place signs
on Sequoia Court, but residents who at-
tended the meeting did not want them.
The city noted in its agenda report
they would back off from placing the
signs on Sequoia Court, but residents can
petition the city if they change their

the environmental and aesthetic benefits
of the signs.
After the signs are installed, the city

tially impacted the area, a majority of
residents on the street want them and if
there are no other options, the city said.
Drivers parked on the street during the
time and date of street sweeping would
be given a $35 citation or the first of-
fense, a $70 citation for the second of-
fense and a $105 for a third violation, all
within a one year period.
Councilmember Sam Pedroza was in
about sign pollution or the possibility of
too many signs on the street.
Eventually if we have more, I want
to prevent sign clutter, he said.
City Manager Tony Ramos noted the
program is small right now, but as it ex-
pands, the city could look into using as
little amount of signs as possible.
Councilmember Corey Calaycay was
concerned with the Harvard Avenue lo-
cation, due to businesses on the block.
He noted that if drivers were restricted to
park at that certain time for sweeping,
they would just park in nearby streets
and neighborhoods, creating an unin-
tended impact.
Ms. Mikula noted that they reached
out to surrounding neighbors but did not

months and report on any unintended
consequences of the signs.

The council also unanimously ap-

turning the outdoor patio at Joslyn into a
vibrant, colorful meeting area where
Claremonts seniors can play games, so-

The plan includes adding multi-col-
ored tables and chairs, umbrellas for
shade, string lights overhead, a fountain,
mobile space heaters, a beverage cart,
standing tables, outdoor games and dec-
orative pillows.
The color schemes and designs of the
chairs and tables are inspired by local
area like the Public Plaza and businesses
such as Union on Yale, Ms. Turner said.
The orange, lemon and lime colors
were also inspired by old citrus crate la-
bels, which Ms. Turner described as a

The main point that stuck out to me was how
much money does the city have invested in this busi-
ness? How many grants and small business loans
have they received for this? At this point, its got to be
in writing, Mr. Lindley said.
In addition to the midnight closing on weekends, a
We certainly understand the concerns of the
neighbors, Mr. Johnson said. When I met with them
I offered that should any concerns arise in the future,
we have a tool to bring the conditional use permit
back for a modification.

Mr. Lindley and his neighborsMichelle Boland,
Steve Boland and Matthew Adamsattended the No-
vember 7 planning commission meeting to reiterate
their concerns.
I get the feeling we registered as dissenters with
the city, Mr. Lindley said. The commissioners were
cool though. But thats when we first met Johnson.
Days after the commission meeting, Mr. Johnson
called up the neighbors to schedule a meeting at city
hall where, according to Mr. Lindley, the community
development director made a raised-eyebrow sug-
gestion that they withdraw their letters from the
ABC.
Nobody agreed to do it, Mr. Lindley said. At
this point, everybody in the neighborhood is planting
their feet.
The process feels deceptive, Mr. Lindley said, and
he gets the impression the city wants to push through
the approval without taking into account the neigh-
bors trepidation.
This fast track means we lose our rights as far as
hours and parking issues, Mr. Lindley said.
Mr. Johnson assures that no effort has been made to
rush the project through.
We dont have a huge backlog, so its not like we
set aside other applications to get this through, he
said. It just went through the normal commission ap-
proval process. I would disagree with that comment.
Mr. Lindley said he isnt inclined to make a hand-
shake deal with the city, particularly given the citys
financial investment and the neighbors perception
that the Meat Cellar is getting special treatment.
On November 17, the Claremont City Council ap-
proved a funding request of $150,000 to the Meat
Cellar under the community development block grant
job creation program.
major point of contention for the Harvard Avenue res-
idents is adequate parking. The expanded business
plan increases the restaurants size from 3,334 square
feet during the day to 4,857 square feet from 5 p.m. to
midnight, when it will offer approximately 100 seats
for evening dining.
There is plenty parking for both Wolfes Market
and The Meat Cellar during the day between the 30
spaces on the current lot and an existing parking
agreement of seven spaces at the State Farm Insur-
ance office at 140 W. Foothill Blvd.
However, at night, with the additional 1,500 square
feet of service space, the city will require at least 49
parking spaces, 12 more than whats currently avail-
able.
Meeting the Claremont Municipal Code parking re-
quirements was satisfied through approval of another
joint use parking agreement by borrowing 12 more
spaces from State Farm. Further, employees shall
park, whenever possible, in the seven spaces already
available at the insurance office.
Another possibility is valet parkinga service
never offered in Claremont beforebut something
Mr. Johnson said is an option. The business plan, ac-
cording to the owners, is also to encourage cus-
tomers to use rideshare programs like Uber or Lyft to
help with parking demands.
Mr. Villegas said his staff would tell customers who
are making reservations to not park on Harvard Av-
enue and, he said, hes willing to foot the bill for valet
service.
They can park on Foothill all day long. Its within
our legal right, Mr. Villegas said. But we want to be
good neighbors. Were well intentioned people.
Mr. Johnson emphasizes there are measures in
place to protect residents from disruption.
B
ut the idea of valet parking and a
late-night bar just a block from his
home has Mr. Lindley worried
about the Gucci-fication of Claremont,
he said, in reference to the high-end de-
signer.
Im worried about the drunks and the half-di-
gested cheeseburgers under my rose bushes, he said.
We dont want that.
Mr. Villegas feels hes done everything he possibly
can to resolve matters with the neighbors, including
offering to close early if business is slow.
Everything in Claremont dies down at 9 oclock,
so we would only stay open if we had a private
event, he said. This is a family-run restaurant that
serves alcohol. It is not a bar.
The city hopes to facilitate discussion to see the
project move forward without lengthy delays. A sec-
ond meeting between the neighbors and the city, in-
cluding the mayor, took place Tuesday morning.
According to Mr. Villegas, City Manager Tony
Ramos assured him that they city was working to al-
leviate hurdles related to the parking issues.
Tony Ramos himself told me they were looking at
making Harvard permit-only parking after 6 p.m.,
Mr. Villegas said. So I think thats part of the negoti-
ation.
Mr. Lindley and his neighbors want more of a guar-
antee that their concerns are being addressed.
This is a residential area. We would back off if
they closed at 10 oclock, that is restaurant hours,
Mr. Lindley said.

A re-purposed holiday
by Debbie Carini
available in stores right now. Maybe the last tube of

E
very year around this time, the
gluttony of the holidays in Decem-
ber (new toys, clothes, electronics)
is followed by the desire to start anew in
January to rid oneself of useless exercise
equipment (somehow that just immedi-
ately jumps to mind), bread makers and
Chia Pets.
This year, the word collusion is particularly
prominent in the news. And that gave me a wonder-
fully dreadful idea, to paraphrase the Grinch and Dr.
Seuss.
I decided to look around my house and do a little
holiday colludingnothing illegal of course, just an
insignificant secret agreement between myself and the
junk I harbor to make everyones holiday dreams
come truetheres no crime in that.
Ive got an idea for those unused keys in the
kitchen junk drawer that will give the Joan Rivers
Classics Collection on QVC a run for its money. And
you wont even recognize the original purpose of
those bags newspapers come in when I get through
with them! And grandmas old embroidery, which
Ive been harboring, rat-packing, hoardingtake
your pickin the closet? Ive finally had to accept
that antimacassars are not going to make a comeback,
and Ive got a plan for them, too.
As I make my way around the house, uncovering
caches of plastic strawberry containers, twist-ties, cof-
fee cans, and more, I start to realize that A) I have a
problem, and B) the internet might be a good resource
to consult about this.
When I Google repurposing Christmas ideas, a
number of websites pop up with terrific suggestions
offering things Ive never thought of. Maybe I need to
start eating Pringles potato chips, because there seem
to be an inordinate number of ways to reuse those
cansfrom a childs choo-choo to a bird feeder to an
Advent calendar. Id have to eat 24 containers of
Pringles for that last one, and I dont think I have the
fortitude for it, even with all the green onion dip
the calendar could hold a bottle of Tums.
As I walk around the house eyeballing knick-
knacks and other underused paraphernalia, Ive no-
ticed my husband growing more protective of his
things, like his sock drawer. Um, I use those, he
said to me the other day as I eyed some not-too-worn
tube socks (just add some googly eyes I thought, and
thats a hand puppet!).
A lot of these ideas can even help an individual get
organized. A person who might have a hard time
throwing away a Tic-Tac container could use it for a
bobby pin holder. Or, he or she could glue old Mason
jars (the ones he/she never got around to actually
using for canning) to hold candlesticks (the ones
he/she never got around to using for a shabby chic-ish
centerpiece) to create clever containers that artfully
hold smaller collections of what some might consider
rubbish: paperclips, rubber bands and bottlecaps.
Im not sure Ive come any closer to whittling
down my junk or my Christmas list, but now Im
looking ahead to January. It only takes four Pringles
cans and some yellow duct tape to make an attractive
goal post for your super bowl party. I better get
crunching!

Politics in Claremont
Dear Editor:
Its an odd time to be a politically
centrist millennial. Several of my peers
and I find ourselves disheartened and
discouraged by not only the recent
events nationwide, but also those that
occur closer to home. Perhaps espe-
cially at the Claremont Colleges, we
feel caught in between a liberal left that
has been become overly concerned
with political correctness and a conser-
vative right whose leader does not ap-
pear to share hold our fundamental
values.
In todays political environment, it
seems that a relatively small minority
of individuals at the poles the spectrum
drown out the vast swaths of us in the
middle. Their voices are loud and clear,
while ours our fractured and disorgan-
ized. What we need now is pragmatism,
and it is nowhere to be seen.
As a Washington, DC native, Ive
long been aware of the power govern-
ment has to influence our lives for bet-
ter or, at times, for worse. This is why
Im so concerned about the Trump Ad-
ministrations rhetoric and policies.
By mocking Senator Warren as Poc-
ahontas at a Navajo code talkers cere-
mony, scapegoating immigrants for the
nations economic woes, dangerously
raising tensions with North Korea, as
well as instigating a range of other of-
fensive or reckless feuds, the executive
branch has demonstrated careless re-
gard for its own stature.
On the legislative side, gridlock has
stifled congressional legislation this
year on virtually every major issue.
And, while it would be easy to blame
the state of todays affairs on the presi-
dents party, Democrats must own their
fair share of the blame, as well.
Failure to effectively target and cater
to the values of middle-America, disre-
gard for a $20 trillion national debt, and
poor leadership have demonstrated that
the party is fundamentally out of touch
READERS COMMENTS
with the public at large. For these rea-
sons, I find it difficult to associate my-
self with either major political party.
In Claremont, I hear very few conser-
vative voices. However, the liberal ones
are often incredibly alienating. As Man-
aging Editor of the CMC Forum (Clare-
mont McKenna Colleges student
newspaper), I tried interviewing pro-
testers who blockaded Manhattan Insti-
tute scholar Heather Mac Donald from
delivering her presentation at the
Athenaeum last year.
No one would speak to me, but they
would talk to my colleagues from more
diverse backgrounds. They assumed
that because of my gender, skin color,
and sexual orientation,
I would be unsympathetic to their
views. Just last week, I was having a
conversation about post-grad plans with
a classmate who asserted that because
Im studying government and econom-
ics/accounting and want to work with
startups, all I must care about is making
money. These preconceptions about
myself, my values, and my beliefs have
become common as identity-politics
overrides the college.
Largely because of experiences like
these, its been hard to feel fully at
home as a member of the Claremont
community. Rather, Ive found solace
in my close-knit friend group who con-
tinually challenges me intellectually.
However, as open as I am to chang-
ing my stances with these people, con-
fining robust discussions about difficult
topics to only certain groups does noth-
ing to improve public discourse at
large. Those of us who want to see
change that is pragmatic rather than ex-
pressly progressive or conservative
must engage in this way as well.

Save healthcare for all
Americans
Dear Editor:
Im asking you to take action to pro-
tect the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
The senate will vote on a tax bill that
includes an amendment to eliminate a
provision of the ACA known as the in-
dividual mandate. Eliminating this pro-
vision will effectively repealing the
ACA.
Repealing the ACA means eliminat-
ing coverage for 13 million Americans,
cutting $25 billion to Medicare and
raising costs for middle-class families
and seniors with high medical ex-
penses.
This is not the kind of deal that
Americans can afford.
Time after time this year the power
of our grassroots network has stopped
efforts to repeal the ACA. Now is the
time to pick up the phone and call your
Senators.
Call the Capitol Switchboard at (202)
224-3121.
Tell your Senator: I oppose any tax
package that repeals the Affordable
Care Act. I ask that you protect my care
by voting against any measure that
would repeal the Affordable Care Act
or reduce access to health coverage.
Together we can stop this! Call the
switchboard today at (202) 224-3121!

Creating, maintaining multi-modal transit in Claremont
by Sam Pedroza, vice chair of Gold Line Construction Authority Board and Claremont city councilmember
A
fter years of uncertainty, the Gold
Line to Claremont is becoming a
reality. The recent groundbreak-
ing marked the official kickoff to phase
2B, bringing the Gold Line to Claremont.
However, with every major project there are some
major issues that must be addressed politically, finan-
cially and with much public discourse. Discussions re-
garding the elimination of Claremonts Metrolink
station are cause for concern and a call to action. This
move would impact Claremonts opportunity to be-
come a model for multi-modal transportation.
I strongly believe a Metrolink station must be main-
tained in Claremont. I would like to share my thoughts
on this discussion and how our citizens can make an
effort to prevent the station from ending up on the
chopping block.
Having recently celebrated its 25th anniversary,
Metrolink has served as a lifeline to many commuters
living along the edges of LAs job centers. Metrolink
provides long distance commuters an alternative to
multi-hour car commutes. The Claremont Metrolink
station came to be through the efforts of our former
mayor, the late Judy Wright, who is often referred to
as the mother of the Metrolink.
The Gold Line is a different mode of transportation.
It is a light-rail train system that uses a different sized
track, separate from the existing heavy-rail tracks used
by both Metrolink and freight trains. The Gold Line
operates on electricity, and will run along the same
corridor used by Metrolink, which is owned by the

Were on Facebook, too.
VIEWPOINT
Metropolitan Transportation Agency, or Metro. The
Gold Line will not be on a preset time schedule like
the Metrolink, but rather will run about every seven to
12 minutes.
With the arrival of the Gold Line, Claremonts
multi-modal program will be one of the most complete
in the county. Our multi-modal model will include
both train systems and the Foothill Transit bus service,
all within a thriving urban centerour Claremont Vil-
lage. The key component for multi-modal is that peo-
ple will have options for the types of transportation
service that best fits their needs.
Our city, in order to plan and design for the opportu-
nity to provide multi-modal options, has already ad-
dressed some of the issues. We focused on quite zones
when residents were overwhelmed with horn blasts
coming from trains that Metrolink was using tem-
porarily. Although the new trains muffled the horns a
bit, the city did an evaluation and determined that
quiet zones should be developed in conjunction with
the construction of the updated Gold Line crossing el-
ements. This approach saves money while maintaining
the same schedule.
Another issue we already addressed is the grade
separation at Indian Hill Boulevard. After it was deter-
mined that the California Public Utilities Commission
(which oversees grade crossings throughout the state)
was going to require a grade separation, the council
worked with the community and business owners to

design a bridge that we can live with, and a design that
eliminates much of the wall effect.
The current challenge is the discussion of the elimi-
nation of the Claremont Metrolink station. We are see-
ing that the study requested by Supervisor Hilda Solis
does indicate the station is popular. Passenger board-
ings in Claremont are competitive with those in Mont-
clair and Pomona. These three stations will have the
opportunity to have both Metrolink and Gold Line
Stations.
However, only the Claremont station is located in a
current thriving downtown setting. We benefit from
people walking and biking to and from the station, ad-
dressing the first/last mile issue, and exhibiting the
attributes of connectivity. Claremont has already built
transit-oriented development (TOD) and is planning
additional projects under a specific use plan. The Vil-
lage South project is counting on Claremont having
multi-modal opportunities.
We look for solutions, but much like in the spirit of
Judy Wright and many others, we must also express
our sentiments to our elected officials that represent us
at Metro. Transportation policy-making is complex,
however transportation programs are designed for us,
the users. I encourage you to attend the Metrolink sta-
tion community meeting on December 11 at 6:30 p.m.
at the Hughes Community Center to better understand
this issue and voice your sentiments.
I hope you agree with me that Claremont can and
should be a model for multi-modal transportation, and
that we continue to set the example of a community
that plans accordingly and wisely, a trait that is exem-
plified in our citys history.

Duane Marshall Thomas
Grandfather, actor, singer, court commissioner, US Army officer
Duane Marshall Thomas, loving hus-
band, father and grandfather, died from
a stroke Wednesday, November 22,
2017.He was 87.
He was born, June 11, 1930 to
Clarence Lamar Thomas and Mildred
Marshall Thomas, in Boise, Idaho. He
graduated from Boise High School in
1948. He was the schools starting quar-
terback, and greatly surprised his coach
when he gave up football for music and
theater.
Mr. Thomas attended Yale University,
in New Haven, Connecticut, on a full
scholarship, earning a bachelors degree
in 1952. He worked his way through
school as a waiter in the Yale Dining
Hall.He was in the Yale Glee Club, and
in his junior year he was a member of the
Spizwinks, when he was tapped to sing
baritone with the acclaimed senior Yale
singing group, the Whiffenpoofs. He was
well known over the years for his solo
performance of Bermuda Buggy Ride,
and was often asked to sing it at concerts
decades later.
After college, Mr. Thomas enlisted as
an officer in the US Army Counterintel-
ligence Corps, where he served from
1953 to 1956. After his military duty, he
completed a Latter-Day Saints mission
in the British Isles from 1958 to 1960.

and Tiffany, and adopted a third son,
Ben, before divorcing in 1971. Mr.
Thomas married Dyann Thomas in
1992, and subsequently adopted her son,
Aaron Thomas.
Throughout his working years he
never gave up his love for music and the-
ater. One of his first roles in Southern
California theater was as Judd Fry in
Oklahoma, where he was so convincing
that a young boy pointed to Mr. Thomas
picture during intermission and com-
mented to his mother, I hate him. Hes
mean.
Many will remember him in his lead-
ing roles at The Gallery Theater, in On-
tario, California, and The Candlelight
Pavilion in Claremont. Some of his fa-
vorites were Tevye from Fiddler on the
Roof, Daddy Warbucks from Annie,
Emile De Becque from South Pacific
and Morrie from Tuesdays with Mor-
rie.
Mr. Thomas volunteered his time in
many ways with his two favorite chari-
ties; He committed his beautiful voice to
recorded readings for the blind and
dyslexic. He was an avid painter, and ex-
pressed his love of art by donating his
time and expertise to the Associated
Artists of the Inland Empire. As an ac-

Joanna G. Wappler
Librarian, scholar, loving mother
Joanna McLester Garber Wappler, 79,
of Jonesboro, Georgia, died in the early
morning on October 30, 2017, with her
son James Wappler and her daughter-in-
law Ingrid at her side. She struggled with
cancer for the last eight months of her
life, but died peacefully at Piedmont
Henry Hospital in Stockbridge, Georgia.
Joanna was born in Opelika, Alabama
on January 24, 1938 to Margaret and Eu-
gene Keenan Garber of Birmingham.
She had a twin brother who, sadly, didnt
survive long past the infants premature
birth. Her older brother Eugene, as older
brothers will do, teased her, but also
watched out for her. It was a soulful kin-
ship that continued to the end of her life.
In a rare move for her deep-rooted
Southern family, after graduating from
Shades Valley High School, she ventured
north to Chicago to attend Northwestern
University. At a church youth group, she
met the love of her life, Edwin Gould
Wappler, a student at the Seabury-West-
ern Theological Seminary in Evanston,
Illinois.
In 1959, the two were married in Ala-
bama. The young couple then moved to
suburban Chicago, where Mr. Wappler, a
newly ordained Episcopalian priest, was
curate at St. Gregory Episcopal church in

Accomplished jazz musician, loving husband, grandfather
Michael W Fay, 82, died October 15,
2017 at Pomona Valley Hospital, in
Pomona, California following a brief
illness. His loving family was by his
side.
Mr. Fay was born August 17, 1935 to
Kenyon T. Fay and Edith Thornton Fay
of Los Angeles. He graduated from
Flintridge Preparatory School in La
Canada, California, in 1953, and Clare-
monts Pomona College, in 1957.
He was a passionate traditional jazz
musician, whose love of music came
from playing with his father. He joined
the legendary El Dorado Jazz Band in
the early 1960s, and over the years
toured the world with many bands,
playing with just about every notable
musician on the West Coasts tradi-
tional jazz scene.

SOS, Claremont! Save our Metrolink stop from elimination
by Zachary Courser, chair of the Claremont Traffic and Transportation Committee
L
A County Metro has
commissioned a report
to study eliminating
Claremonts Metrolink stop.
Instead of increasing our trans-
portation options, the Metro
board is taking the first step to-
ward a permanent removal of
our stop on the San Bernardino
Line, which connects our city
with downtown Los Angeles.
When Measure M passed with over
70 percent of the vote in November
2016, voters throughout Los Angeles
County voiced their overwhelming sup-
port for increased funding for public
transportation.
In particular, Claremonters rejoiced
that at long last the Metro Gold Line
would be extended here, giving us light
rail access to foothill communities all
the way to Pasadena. However, thanks
to recent developments from the LA
Metro board, this new option may
come at the cost of losing access to
Metrolink.
Claremont is to be one of three stops
that have platforms for both the exist-
ing Metrolink commuter rail network
VIEWPOINT
and the new Gold Line light rail. In
September of this year the staff of Los
Angeles County Metro, the agency re-
sponsible for mass transit in our area,
recommended a study be commis-
sioned on how best make these two net-
works complement each other.
During a Planning and Programming
Committee meeting of LA Metro, our
County Supervisor Hilda Solis made a
motion to cancel this proposed study
and instead to look into eliminating
Claremonts Metrolink station. Later
that month the LA Metro Board ap-
proved her proposal, and with only a
very tight sixty day deadline, staff
began to develop a study to examine
the option of forgoing the Claremont
Metrolink station in order to reduce
construction costs for the Gold Line ex-
tension.
Since 1992, thanks to the diligent ef-
forts of former Mayor Judy Wright, our
city has long enjoyed access to com-
muter rail via Metrolink. This has given
our residents a quick and reliable com-
muting option to downtown Los Ange-
les.
It is an asset for students of the
Claremont Colleges, and for all users of
LAX that use the Flyaway bus. It also
contributes to the walkability and over-
all quality of life of our community,
helping residents and visitors avoid the
hassle of traffic in traveling to and from
Claremont. Eliminating our Metrolink
stop would make commuting to down-
town and LAX more difficult, forcing
people to walk to Montclair or Pomona,
drive and park, or wait for a Gold Line
train and then transfer.
Worst of all, without a Metrolink
stop in Claremont we may not have any
rail access during the construction of
the Gold Line, which isnt scheduled to
be completed until 2026.
We were promised access to both
lines when we voted for Measure M.
From the beginning, the Foothill Gold
Line Construction Authority has engi-
neered the extension to include both
stops in Claremont, and plans are well
in advance about their design and loca-
tion. Work is underway, contracts are
signed to begin work on relocating util-
ities, and the groundbreaking for the
extension was last weekend.
The proposal to eliminate the station
comes at the eleventh hour, without
warning, and at a time when local
politicians are scrambling to fill a
Claremont COURIER/Friday, December 8, 2017 12
budget gap in the Gold Line extension
budget. Despite the passage of Measure
M, the project currently has a $280 mil-
lion budget gap. There is a proposal to
use state cap-and-trade revenue to fill
this gap, but it is nowhere from certain.
Gold Line construction will proceed
despite this funding gap, making re-
ducing construction costs a priority.
Dont let Claremont pay the price. Lets
make sure that Metro and others know
that Claremonters expect their promises
to be kept.
The city of Claremont has organized
a meeting with all the principle organi-
zations involved in making the decision
to keep or eliminate the stop, including
LA Metro, Metrolink, and the Foothill
Gold Line Construction Authority. Pre-
liminary findings of the study into
eliminating our stop will be presented.
The meeting will take place at 6:30
p.m. at the Hughes Community Center,
1700 Danbury Rd., this Monday, De-
cember 11. Please attend this meeting,
and make your voice heard that you
want to keep the Metrolink running in
Claremont. And send out the S.O.S. to
your friends and neighbors to Save Our
Station.

Metrolink is vital to Claremont, even with Gold Line
by Jennifer Stark
P
eter Drucker, the late,
great founder of modern
management, said,
There is nothing so useless as
doing efficiently that which
should not be done at all.
Eliminating the Claremont Metrolink
stop would have a negative impact on
all of us. I would like to address the is-
sue of perceived competition with the
Gold Line and point out some ways that
Metrolink is fundamentally very differ-
ent from the light rail experience.
Having two public transportation op-
tions to Union Station provides choices
for the traveler.
Gold Line and the Metrolink train are
very different experiences, but together
provide a more comprehensive infra-
structure and display the burgeoning
possibilities of a less congested Los An-
geles area, and a more connected South-
ern California.
Many people have an electric dryer,
but will choose to hang some special
clothes out on a clothesline or a drying
rack. Similarly, after the Gold Line is
completed there will be many people
who will continue to rely on the
Metrolink train because of the specific
comforts it provides.
Obviously eliminating the Claremont
stop will have a negative impact on our
residents who Commute to work. After
the Gold Line is completed commuters
VIEWPOINT
will still choose the Metrolink train.
The train provides riders with tables
where they can sit comfortably and get
extra work done. If these commuters
were forced to use the Gold Line in-
stead, that hour of productivity would
be gone because Gold Line cars do not
have tables. That is five hours of lost
productivity a week, which adds up to
240 lost hours of work annually.
Those hours will potentially have to
be made up by subtracting hours from
leisure time, time that was previously
spent volunteering, exercising, enjoying
family or shopping in our village. That
translates to incalculable losses both in
the quality of life and in our economy.
Local elementary schools utilize the
Metrolink to take children on field trips
to Los Angeles. Oakmont Elementary
kindergarten teachers take the entire
kindergarten class to Union Station.
This is another example of how
Metrolink and the Gold Line are not in-
terchangeable.
The Gold Line makes 22 stops with
dozens of riders getting on and off the
train at each stop.
There is a high likelihood that these
teachers would not want to take around
a hundred small children on the Gold
Line to Union Station. While a field trip
on Metrolink might seem trivial, these

Fast start has CHS girls basketball headed for winning season
times. In the second round of the tournament Claremont

C
laremont High School girls basketball has sur-
vived a rough few years, but that may be
changing this year with a new coach and a re-
vamped approach.
The girls have not won a league game since 2014, so
they were motivated to make changes. One of those
changes was to replace head coach Darryl Kennedy.
Hiring a new girls coach was a clear priority for for-
mer Wolfpack football coach and brand new Athletic
Director Mike Collins. Similar to the way he ran the
CHS football program, he was looking for a seasoned
professional, but with the highest integrity.
By late summer, CHS settled on Michael James, a
veteran of both girls and boys basketball, who is a full
time physical education teacher at Walnut High School.
A native of West Covina, coach James played foot-
ball in high school and became interested in coaching
basketball when he was asked to fill in early on in his
teaching career.
I kind of accidentally fell into being a basketball
coach, Coach James said. During my first year teach-
ing [at St. Marks Lutheran], the principal said Hey we
need someone to coach basketball.
I said Really? The boys? And he said No, girls. I with 17 points, sinking an impressive five three-point-
really did not have any experience coaching basketball,
and it didnt go very well, but over the years I started
going to camps, and hanging out at high schools. I just
kind of learned on the fly.
To say he learned how to coach is an understatement.
At Diamond Ranch between 2006 and 2014, he took
the Panthers to the semifinals of the CIF tournament six
We are thrilled and fortunate to have him, Mr.
Collins said. He has been doing an incredible job. He
is a strong professional who knows how to run a pro-
gram.
In spite of their 0-10 league record last year, the girls
did have a number of close games, including two four-
point losses to Bonita. That small gap clearly shows that
Claremont indeed has some talent, which Coach James
hopes to tap.
In order to turn things around, Coach James plans to
work on changing the teams mentality.
I saw them play a couple times this summer and I
thought they had some nice [elements], he said. Its
just a matter of putting them together. Basically, it is
just hard work. If you put in the work, you will start
winning games. Its a slow process but its going to pay
off.
The girls are off to a good start, with a 4-0 record, in-
cluding a lopsided 57-13 victory on Tuesday over St.
Lucys in the opening round of the 23rd annual Wolf-
pack Classic Girls Basketball Tournament.
Senior Katelyn Maloof was the Packs top scorer
ers, plus two free throws. Fellow senior Lauren Steffen
was not far behind with 12 points. Steffen was also key
on defense, pulling in crucial rebounds and helping to
force turnovers.
pulled out a thrilling, 51-49 victory over the West Cov-
ina Bulldogs, with Maloof sinking a five-foot floater at
the buzzer for the game winner. Steffen was again a key
contributor, with 14 points and 14 rebounds. The Wolf-
pack played Don Lugo in the semi-finals after press
time on Thursday.
Overall, the girls seemed more cohesive than last
year, even though the team still needs to work on shoot-
ing, and reducing turnovers. In addition, the Pack was
playing without one of their top players, Camille Tron-
cone, who is injured.
Those are the things [shooting and turnovers] we
talked about at halftime, Coach James said. We were
doing some things that were just sloppy on defense
being out of position, making slow, lazy passes. Those
are the things that when we play against good teams,
they will make you pay for.
I inherited a team that was senior heavy, but the
younger players can play, so I feel pretty good about
where we are and where we are headed, he added. We
have established certain rules on the court, so it is just
a matter of getting out and executing.
The Pack is at a tournament in San Dimas next week.
Palomares League play kicks off January 9 with a
home game against Glendora.

CHS girls cross country

has year to remember
C
laremont High School girls cross country took
ninth place in the nation on Saturday at the 2017
Nike Cross National meet in Portland, Oregon.
Held on the muddy, rainy Glendoveer Golf Course, the
meet featured the top 22 teams from across the nation,
plus 45 individual runners.
The race concluded a successful season for the girls
team, which included both CIF Southern Section and
California State titles. Manlius, New York won the meet
with 89 points, followed closely by North Naperville,
Illinois with 94. Claremont scored 245 points to tie
Broomfield,
Colorado, but the Pack won the tiebreaker by having
its sixth runner one placeand just one-tenth of a sec-
ondahead of Broomfields.
Claremont was picked as an at-large team, but cer-
tainly proved that it belonged by finishing as the second
place California team, a mere eight points behind Great
Oak.
Junior Sydney Hwang led the team with her 47th
place finish in 18:42 over the 5,000-meter course
which had been torn up just prior by the boys race. Fol-
lowing Hwang was sophomore Azalea Segura-Mora,
61st at 18:55; junior Kalinda Reynolds, 85th at 19:12;
freshman Angie Gushue, 120th at 19:44; and senior
Tess Rounds, 125th at 19:46 to round out the scoring
positions. The squad also included senior Alyssa
Cantrell, the tie-breaking sixth runner who finished
139th in 19:58, and junior Sarah Ayala, 181st at 20:47.
A total of 198 runners contested the highly competitive
national meet.

GOLDLINECEREMONY/continued from page 3
to the event, said upcoming Metro projects funded by
the recently passed Measure M could generate over
700,000 middle class jobs, and highlighted improved
transportation as a topic that could unite both political
factions.
We all are stuck in traffic, and there are certain
things that unite us even these days, which is a com-
mute that we want to get rid of, he said.
Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda Solis, whose
district includes Claremont and Pomona, noted the in-
creased connectivity between all areas of the South-
land once Metros upcoming projects are built.
Once the Metro Regional Connector in downtown
is complete, youll also be able to travel from Clare-
mont to Long Beach on a one-seat ride, she said.

A
phrase reiterated by many of the
speakers at the event was On
time, and under budget, a mantra
held by Mr. Balian throughout the con-
struction of the foothill rail system. The
previous extensionfrom Pasadena to
Azusaopened in March 2016 to high
fanfare and ridership.
While the ground has been broken, major construc-
tion in Claremont wont happen until about two years
from now, according to Metro. The first few years will
be spent relocating utilities and doing pre-construction.
Major construction is scheduled to start in 2020.
The plan for Claremont is to build the Gold Line sta-
tion on the site of the current Metrolink station and
build a 1,260-space parking structure on the current site
of the Metrolink parking lot on the northeast corner of
College Avenue and First Street.
Current plans are to relocate the Metrolink station to
an area east of College Avenue, but a 60-day study is
currently evaluating the pros and cons of eliminating
that station altogether. The initial findings of that study
will be presented during a meeting at the Hughes Cen-
ter on Monday, December 11.
The full plan is to extend the Gold Line past Mont-
clair and into Ontario International Airport, which is lo-
cated in San Bernardino County. Many speakers
touched on this, and Ms. Napolitano called on LA
Countys eastern neighbor to wake up and do their
job.
Ms. Chu noted that there were doubters about the
Gold Line when it was first being planned, and she
worked with Congressman Adam Schiff to get the proj-
ect going. Mr. Schiff was touted throughout the gather-
ing as the father of the Gold Line.

Metro Board Chairman and Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti greets California State Senator Anthony Por-
tantino on Saturday during the ground breaking ceremony for the Foothill Gold Line extension.
And now look at the results. Ridership has ex-
ceeded expectations by over 9000 boardings on week-
days, she said.
When this line eventually opens, Ms. Chu said, rid-
ership is expected to reach around 18,300 daily board-
ings.
Claremont Councilmember Sam Pedroza, who is
also the vice chair of the Construction Authority Board
of Directors, presented Mr. Garcetti with an unusual
gifta shovel full of M&Ms.
The reason behind the gift, Mr. Pedroza explained,
was that throughout the campaign for Measure M in
2016, the L.A. mayor would hand out packets of
M&Ms to riders in order to get out the vote.
Mr. Washington, in his remarks, said the projects
Claremont City Councilmember Sam Pedroza
completed under Measure M would last 100 years, rid-
speaks during the ground breaking ceremony for
the Gold Line extension on Saturday in Azusa. Mr. den by generations to come.
Pedroza is also Foothill Gold Line Board vice chair- And I think they will thank us, 50 years from now,

ership and the management ability to get these projects
done, he said. Matthew Bramlett
