Arts funding in CUSD
Dear Editor:
We appreciate the opportunity to explain
funding for arts and other programs, which
were raised in a December 15 letter to the
editor. Our intent is to ensure that the com-
munity understands that the board of edu-
cation and staff of the Claremont Unified
School District value educating the whole
child and allocate limited resources to en-
sure students are offered a variety of ex-
tracurricular and co-curricular activities to
enhance their educational experience.
One of the district’s strategic goals
states, “Our schools will provide unique
opportunities that develop the whole child
by promoting involvement in extracurricu-
lar and co-curricular activities and encour-
age positive student behaviors.”
One of the ways that goal is supported is
through allocating a large portion of the
district budget to support personnel who
serve as teachers, coaches and club advi-
sors for the nearly 100 different clubs,
sports teams and performance groups of-
fered at El Roble Intermediate School,
Claremont High School and San Antonio
High School.
Additionally, for the last several years,
CUSD has also allocated $300,000 per
year to assist all booster groups with the
cost of transporting students to and from
various events.
California school districts receive most

of their revenue from the state, and that
revenue is not enough to cover all budg-
etary expenses. Like most school dis-
tricts in California, CUSD relies on
active booster groups to raise additional
funds to support these groups and activ-
ities.
CUSD is also fortunate to have
tremendous community partnerships,
such as the Claremont Educational Foun-
dation, Chamber of Commerce, Clare-
mont Museum of Art and service clubs
who also provide additional funds in sup-
port of the visual and performing arts,
technology and innovation.
With all of these groups working to-
gether, CUSD continues to be a top-per-
forming district that experiences
tremendous success in many areas.
We always appreciate the public’s
questions, interest and support of Clare-
mont Unified School District. Please feel
free to contact the superintendent’s office
at jelsasser@cusd.claremont.edu with
any further questions or concerns.

Plans to refresh Foothill Boulevard begin to take shape

T
he Claremont city coun-
cil recently got a fresh
look at a plan to revital-
ize Foothill Boulevard.
Principal Planner Chris Veirs presented
the latest incarnation of the Foothill Boule-
vard master plan im-
provement project, CITY
which is set to beautify COUNCIL
and drastically change
Claremont’s main east-west thorough-
fare.
The final design, which has been
shopped around to various commissions
all year, includes both open and protect-
ed bicycle lanes, new entry signs and bus
shelters, an abundance of vibrant and
drought-tolerant trees and bio-swales to col-
lect storm water runoff.
Councilmember Sam Pedroza, in his
positive review of the plans, noted the proj-
ect is something that fits into the com-
munity, and lauded the city for “checking
off the boxes we always talked about and
planned.”
“It truly is something that in a few years,
we’ll be proud of,” Mr. Pedroza said.
The plan is about five years in the mak-
ing, ever since Caltrans gave Foothill
Boulevard to Claremont in 2012, giving the
city about $5.7 million to spruce up the
street.
Since then, it’s been planning and more

The school hoped for a 7.7 percent in-

a total of 48.3 percent.
Mountain View was targeting an 8.6 per-

Claremont, the nation’s leader in solar energy?

by Peter Coye and Freeman Allen

Demystifying
ernment support for the solar industry in China agree.

A
s we know, the Chinese govern-
ment is extremely interested in the
future of renewable energy and
has put enormous emphasis on support for
the solar cell industry in China and its
competitive advantage around the world.
In fact, right now, three out of every five solar pan-
els in the world are made fully in China, and many
expect this figure to only improve (from the Chinese
perspective) in the years to come. At a recent National
Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) conference in
Golden, Colorado, some participants reported that we
can expect a 70 percent reduction in the price of solar
panels coming from China in the next two years.
If this comes to pass, it would be a stunning devel-
opment in the evolution of renewable energy around
the world and have vast implications—none of them
very good—for the nascent solar manufacturing busi-
ness here in the United States.
In the midst of this tumult, something very interest-
ing is happening in Claremont. For the past several
years, the Community Home Energy Retrofit Project
(CHERP) and a related project called Claremont Lo-
cally Grown Power (CLGP) has sprung up largely
due to the energy and inspiration of Claremont resi-
dent Devon Hartman. (see: cherp.net and claremont-
SUSTAINABILITY
locallygrownpower.org ).
This non-profit, community-based organization is
systematically addressing four renewable energy pri-
orities, including carbon mitigation, economic stimu-
lus, job creation and environmental justice.
CHERP has accomplished some remarkable things.
Among these is the creation of a partnership with ide-
alPV, a new solar technology (see idealpv.com),
which promises to bring cutting-edge solar technolo-
gy to a manufacturing platform in Claremont and
Pomona to produce hundreds of new jobs.
This company has developed and patented a new
solar PV electronic control technology and new panel
architecture, which promises to improve the core effi-
ciency of the solar panels, while doubling the output
and lifespan of systems in mass deployment condi-
tions throughout our city.
However, the inventors of this technology, which
will not be licensed for use outside of the US, believe
the Chinese venture is aggressive enough to dominate
the worldwide solar market so that no American for-
profit company can compete with them in the future.
Those who have looked closely at the Chinese gov-
The sophistication and level of state support by the
Chinese government for this key industry of the fu-
ture is truly stunning. Only a non-profit, community-
based model will allow a US solar industry to flourish
and expand in America at the rate that is needed to
mitigate and eventually end C02 pollution.
The master plan for CLGP starts with a demonstra-
tion of performance for idealPV panels compared to a
conventional solar panel array.
This $350,000 project is well underway at Harvey
Mudd College, but is still short $120,000 in its fund-
ing. Once the demonstration is finished, the factory
will be built and solar panels will be installed on city
buildings, 6,000 homes in Claremont and many more
in Pomona.
This model can then be replicated in cities across
the nation. All of this can be funded from sources
such as government grants and subsidies, solar array
purchases and energy savings—all except the initial
demonstration. Community funding for the remaining
$120,000 is needed by January 15, 2018.
Don’t let this opportunity be lost. Please help with
the financing. It’s easy, and there are several options
for any budget. Simply visit claremontlocallygrown-
power.org, and use the “donate” button to contribute.

Metrolink reality check
Dear Editor:
It is perhaps understandable for the
members of the city council—and anyone
else who doesn’t use public transportation
on a regular basis—to believe that it is im-
portant for residents to continue to have di-
rect access to the Metrolink from a dedi-
cated Claremont station.
What they fail to realize is that Metrolink
is just one part of a comprehensive tran-
sit system that is viable precisely because
of the interconnectivity of many different
transit modes, including commuter rail,
light rail, buses, shuttles and privately-run
services like Uber and Zipcar.
The vast majority of Metrolink riders—
daily commuters like myself who drive our
cars to the station—can easily switch to the
Montclair or Pomona stations, which are
only a couple of minutes away.
As for the few non-drivers, downtown
Claremont is already connected to the
Montclair station by Foothill Transit,
Dial-a-Ride and a dedicated bike path. A
free shuttle will run during the Gold Line
construction period, and the Gold Line it-
self will seamlessly connect Claremont to
the Montclair and Pomona Metrolink
stations once it is up and running.
Most Metrolink patrons are already ac-
customed to making connections to sub-
ways or buses when they arrive at Union
Station, so they are unlikely to have any
difficulty using transit connections at the
front end of their ride as well. Transit plan-
ners also understand that unlike the Gold
Line, which is intended to link many com-
munities together, the Metrolink’s job is

to get commuters to and from Los Angeles
as quickly as possible—and that having
station stops which are only three minutes
apart from each other defeat that purpose.
If the Claremont station could be relo-
cated at a reasonable cost, it might be pos-
sible to make a case for doing so. But as
we learned at the informational meeting on
December 11, such a project would cost
$40 million—or the equivalent of $100,000
for each one of the approximately 400 peo-
ple who board the Metrolink in Claremont
each day. That is a ridiculously poor return
on investment.
And as the Gold Line is already under
severe budget and schedule pressure,
every dollar spent on relocating the Clare-
mont station will directly impact the Gold
Line’s completion.
Claremont can easily handle the loss of
the Metrolink station, and other than ex-
periencing shorter crossing gate delays on
Indian Hill and College Avenue, few res-
idents will even notice that it is gone.
Rather than continue to fight what is
likely to be a losing battle to save it, we
should be focusing all of our efforts to fa-
cilitate the timely completion of the Gold
Line stop in Claremont—which is an es-
sential element of our city’s future success,
and ought to be our highest priority.

Keep Metrolink in Claremont
Dear LA County Board of Supervisors,
Metrolink Board:
This letter is on behalf of the more than
150 store, restaurant and business owners
who comprise the Claremont Village Mar-
keting Group, a 501c(6) non-profit, in
Claremont. We’re writing to ask for your
continued support of the Claremont Village
as an ongoing stop for the Metrolink train.
Our group was formed 17 years ago to
market and grow business in the Claremont
Village. We take credit for our thriving
downtown. In recent years, we’ve served
as a model for over 15 other small Cali-
fornia downtowns that have contacted us
for advice on how to build and sustain a suc-
cessful downtown area.
In marketing our Village outside our
community, advertising has always sug-
gested riding Metrolink to get to us. Over
the years, we partnered with Metrolink to
bring in large audiences for the holiday
train. We’ve sought advertising opportu-
nities with Metrolink, and we promoted and
partnered with Metrolink when they spon-
sored the Jazz at the Depot music series. For
the 2017 Women’s March in LA, we had
one of the most crowded platforms for peo-
ple needing to get on the train headed to LA.
Claremont is well known for its more
than seven prestigious, top-ranked uni-
versities, collectively referred to as the
Claremont Colleges. Students, faculty and
their families are within walking distance
of your station and are prime users of
Metrolink in Claremont. Without a stop,
they would not have access to transporta-
tion to and from the area.
The Claremont Village is an experience-
driven destination and provides a safe, pro-
tected environment for Metrolink travelers.
Neighboring stations in Montclair and
Pomona are simply parking lots with no
amenities, and they’re located in areas many
travelers deem unsafe. The volunteer po-
lice officers who patrol our Metrolink park-
ing lot know riders by name, and they rec-
ognize and protect vehicles driven by
Metrolink customers. Claremont offers both
a sense of security and community to rid-
ers.
The December 11 Hughes Center
presentation by the Metro board was at-
Claremont COURIER/Friday, December 22, 2017 7
tended by hundreds of community mem-
bers who all showed up with one com-
mon voice: Keep Metrolink in
Claremont. College students, business
owners, city staff, council members and
residents were 100 percent in agreement
on this matter. Not one attendee spoke in
favor of Metrolink leaving Claremont.
For Supervisor Hilda Solis, who did
not stay to hear public comment and who
did not clearly state her position on the
matter, we are asking for your support to
keep Metrolink in Claremont.
Claremont residents voted in large
numbers and overwhelmingly in support
of Measure M. We are a politically-ac-
tive community, and our voice is impor-
tant. In our wildest dreams, we never
imagined that supporting Measure M
would lead to the removal of Metrolink
from our community. We urge you to
keep Metrolink in Claremont.

Claremont does not need its
own Metrolink station
Dear Editor:
The proposed Claremont Metrolink
station would be less than 1.5 miles from
the existing Montclair Metrolink station.
It would also be less than three miles
from the existing Pomona Metrolink sta-
tion.
Claremonters who are already driving
to the existing Claremont station would
be minimally inconvenienced by driving
to Montclair or Pomona.
Montclair has a huge reserve of un-
derused parking. Those, including stu-
dents, who are now walking to the
Depot, could continue to walk to the
Depot and take any one of the five exist-
ing Foothill Transit bus lines that now
run between Claremont and the Mont-
clair Transit Center. All lines are
equipped to service the handicapped.
Those of us who drive on Indian Hill
would really appreciate the grade sepa-
ration provided by a bridge. If we do not
now put in a grade separation, we will
definitely pay the price in lawsuits after
the first pedestrian or vehicle fatality and
then will be forced to later install the
grade separation at a higher price in
money and inconvenience. Look upon
the bridge as a safety measure.
What could we do with the $40 mil-
lion saved by skipping the new Clare-
mont Metrolink station? I suppose we
poor taxpayers could simply leave the
money in our pockets. I would be very
READERS’ COMMENTS
happy to dedicate this money to afford-
able housing or something that would
benefit the community more than a re-
dundant Metrolink station.
Maybe the parking saved by not hav-
ing a Claremont Metrolink station could
be used by downtown Claremont. The
Claremont station assuages our pride but
it is definitely not needed, especially at a
price of $40 million.

Trump’s con
Dear Editor:
As Donald Trump watched President
Obama belittle him at the annual corre-
spondent’s dinner, he sat quietly with a
nasty smirk, plotting his revenge.
Mr. Trump lied his way into the presi-
dency and has been eagerly enacting his
revenge ever since. He is trying to dis-
mantle the ACA, kill DACA and overturn
environmental regulations.
In short, he is obsessed with doing away
with every law and regulation enacted
while President Obama was in office. His
revenge is coming at the expense of the
American people.
Mr. Trump has the support of 33 per-
cent of the American people, and I won-
der at what point will these few begin to
see him for who he really is? What will
it take? He is not a Republican, he is not
Wicked King Donald
Dear Editor:
a Democrat, he is simply a con man, the
ultimate opportunist. His only goal is to
enrich himself.
Jared Kushner, Paul Manafort, Steve
Bannon, Michael Flynn, George Pa-
padopoulos, Roy Moore—are these the
people Mr. Trump was talking about
when he said “I know all the best people”?
When Mr. Trump complains about a
rigged system he must be referring to the
help his campaign received from the
Russians.
Do you suppose Michael Flynn saw the
irony of his leading the “lock her up” chant
at the GOP convention as he plead guilty?
The recent elections in Virginia and Al-
abama give hope to the rest of us. We now
look to the Mueller investigation for a
quicker end to the Trump presidency.
Perhaps the Democrats can win back the
house or senate (or both) in 2018 and be-
gin an impeachment process. If not, then
we hope the people that stayed home in
2016 will find the motivation to vote this
horror of a president out of office in
2020. Pam Stevenson

Stole some money from the poor
And was not done with thievin'.

Though their task was cruel
When the tax bill came in sight
They made it their tool.
“Bring me meat and bring me wine
From that poor man’s hovel!
On it now I wish to dine
While I watch him grovel.”
This is what King Donald said

The Blessing Box gives more than food to those in need

A
ltruism. Compassion. Charity.
Hope. These words are tossed
around a lot over the holiday sea-
son. We buy gifts and prepare meals for
our families and friends, all with the inten-
tion of showing people we care.
Strangers get in on it too. This week my fast food
order was “paid forward” by the person in front of me
in line. I reciprocated for the person behind me. It was
“a blessing,” to borrow another phrase we hear a lot
these days. It felt good.
I feel fortunate to have a life that allows me to stop
and appreciate my blessings, and to give a little as
well.
But not everyone has the luxury of time for reflec-
tion, or even a place to reflect. Some of our neighbors
are sick, homeless or just down on their luck. As any-
one who moves around Claremont and the surround-
ing communities can attest, there are folks in need
around nearly every corner.

C
laremont residents Jen Rosen and
Mary Beth Fletcher, co-founders
of Otterspace Arts and The
Dreaming Lodge, are acutely aware of the
haves and have-nots among us. Their
work is in art, healing and meditation. To
say they’re open hearted and altruistic
would be selling it short. They’re both full
of love and compassion.
This time last year, after a meditation group, they
were talking with their friends about doing something
for the local homeless community. The group decided
they’d create backpack care packages, filled with toi-
letries, socks, underwear and food. They hand deliv-
ered the backpacks to folks in need.
“The next time we met, they told us about their ex-
periences, how moving it was for them to give, and
how grateful [the homeless recipients] were to re-
ceive,” Ms. Rosen said. “It was so beautiful for them
to receive, and so beautiful for us to give. There were
tears shed.”
This experience, coupled with a Facebook post
about a similar program, sparked an idea: why not set
up a public pantry in Claremont, not just for homeless
people, but for individuals and families in need as
well?
The Blessing Box, Claremont’s 24/7, permanent,
year-round free pantry, was born. It opened this sum-
mer on Sixth Street, between Harvard and Yale Av-
enues, behind Claremont United Church of Christ.
Volunteers from CUCC constructed the box, and
The Press owner Steve Rudicel paid for the materials.
“We thought about that church [CUCC],” Ms.
The blessing box that Mary Beth Fletcher and Jen Rosen set up at the Claremont United Church of Christ
offers mostly food staples and clothing, but also has some household items.
Rosen said. “It’s really in a good spot, and it’s a really
easy place to direct people to.” The church’s co-pas-
tors, Jennifer Strickland and Jacob Buchholz, were
early supporters of the project. “They were the first
people we contacted. They were really up for it.”
“Our church imagines itself as a community space,
and a place where everyone is welcome and everyone
is part of what we do here,” Ms. Strickland said. “So
when Jen and Mary Beth approached us with the idea
of creating the Blessing Box and having it on our
campus, that fit right in with what we do here. We
were really excited.”
The Blessing Box is open to anyone in need, Ms.
Rosen said—homeless, cold, hungry—or those just
having a hard time making ends meet between pay-
checks.
“Now the cool thing is, it’s a community box,” Ms.
Rosen said. “It’s not just the church’s box. They’re
hosting it, but it’s really something the whole commu-
nity can experience, and experience giving to.”
Blessing Box donations are always being accepted.
Items most needed are canned food will pull tops,
bottled water, individually wrapped non-perishable
snacks such as granola bars, Band-aids, applesauce,
feminine hygiene items, deodorant, toothpaste and
toothbrushes, bottled water, baby food, diapers and
COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff
wipes, and underwear, socks, T-shirts and hats.
“It’s amazing to see how things come and go,” Ms.
Rosen said. “It’s rewarding when you see the wrap-
pers in the little trash can. People are actually using
the Band-aids and the soaps. It’s just really nice to
know that our community has something like that
now.”
In addition to dropping off one-time donations,
families, scout troops, soccer teams or organizations
are encouraged to sign up to be temporary Blessing
Box stewards, and maintain it for a week. Details are
at dreaminglodge.com.
If you do plan to make a supply donation, please
note that all items must fit into the box. If it’s full,
please don’t stack items beside it, Ms. Rosen asked.
More information, including a “click here” button
for online cash donations, is also available at
dreaminglodge.com.
“This time of year, when we’re all getting together
with friends and family and we’re all giving gifts, we
thought, why not give something to our community?”
Ms. Rosen said.
Score one for altruism, compassion, charity and
hope.

Boys soccer shows potential, but still needs more work

C
laremont High School
boys soccer scored a
win Wednesday night
at home, defeating Alta Loma, 1-
0, but they have a lot of work
ahead to secure a championship.
“We were very inconsistent in the
things we want to do,” Coach Fred Bruce-
Oliver said. “The key is that we need to
keep the ball more,
and we had too many SPORTING
turnovers.” LIFE
“They [Alta Loma]
play a type of game that is dangerous.
Every time they were on the ball, it went
long to their fast forward. So, if you keep
the ball away from them, they can’t do
that.”
Other areas where he would like to see
improvement are passing and making
connections that result in goal opportuni-
ties.
“It became a very vertical game and we
want to play side to side. The purpose of
that is to pull the other team out and cre-
ate space behind them to get forward,” he
said.
The game’s lone goal came at four min-
utes into the second half when junior Jack-
son Loeffler knocked the ball into the box,
where it bounced around a bit, ultimate-
ly landing at senior Kevyn Lopez’ feet with
an open net.
The Pack also had a number of close
calls, including a header from Loeffler that COURIER photos/Steven Felschundneff

GIRLS SOCCER
The Pack tied Alta Loma, 2-2, on
Wednesday in Alta Loma. The girls were
behind 1-0 at the half, then took the lead
in the second, but strong play from Alta
Loma tied the game in the end. Clare-
mont goals came from Elisabeth Chua
and Janelle Gutierrez.
Claremont won the first two rounds of
the Claremont Girls Soccer Holiday
Classic tournament on Saturday at CHS.
In the first round the girls routed Dia-
fort, with five girls scoring and five get-
ting assists. Sophie Jones and Danielle
Gutierrez both notched a goal and assist.
Tyler Higurea, Emily Maass and Saman-
tha Palafox got the remaining three
goals.
Later that afternoon, Claremont de-
feated rival St. Lucy’s, 3-0, in the second
round. Jones added two more goals to
her point count for the day, while Hope
Hyland scored once, with assists from
Maass and Savanna Beans.
Claremont’s record is now 8-0-1.
GIRLS BASKETBALL
The Wolfpack bounced back with a
26-point second half to defeat Diamond
Bar, 48-31, last Friday in the San Dimas
tournament.
Laurel Marchant led the Pack’s bal-
anced attack with 17 points, seven re-
bounds and two steals.
On Saturday the girls lost a very close
game to Gabrielino, 35-33, to take sixth
place in the tournament. The girls are
now 9-3.
BOYS BASKETBALL
The Pack defeated Boscoe Tech, 67-
51, on Wednesday in Rosemead, ad-
vancing their record to 7-4. The boys
will play Walnut at home on Friday.
GIRLS WATER POLO
The Pack defeated Temple City, 9-4,
on Wednesday in Claremont. The girls
now have a 7-1 record and played their
first conference game against Glendora
on Thursday after press time.

looking for family-friendly activities
this week, read on…
GET WRAPPED FOR A CAUSE
Claremont-based charity the Children’s
Foundation of America is wrapping
gifts for a cause at Montclair Plaza this
holiday season. For a small donation,
volunteers from the Children’s Founda-
tion will wrap gifts with festive paper,
bows, ribbons and tags. The gift-wrap-
ping station, which is open during regu-
lar mall hours, is located between Sears
and Barnes and Noble, right next to
Cinnabon. The Children’s Foundation
of America is a nonprofit organization
dedicated to supporting children in
need. All proceeds collected during the
gift-wrapping fundraiser will benefit
displaced children in foster care, shel-
ters and more. For information go to
childrensfoundationofamerica.org.
SATURDAY, DECEMBER
HOLIDAY MUSIC IN THE VIL-

ber of Commerce. Yuletide Blend per-
forms at Laemmle Plaza from 11 a.m. to
2 p.m., followed by Cougar Estrada’s

will be strolling throughout the Village.
SUNDAY, DECEMBER
LAST-MINUTE GIFT IDEAS One of
24
Claremont’s loveliest Sunday traditions,
the Farmers and Artisans Market, takes
place from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. along Sec-
ond Street in the Village. If you’re look-
ing for a last minute gift—the market
features growers and makers of items
like cheese, produce, juices, nuts and
honey, as well as jewelry, clothing, can-
dles, books and other unique, handmade
items—you just might give the market a
try.
MONDAY, DECEMBER
MERRY CHRISTMAS! All local gov-
25
ernment offices and most businesses are
closed for the Christmas holiday. If you
need anything, try 7-Eleven! (You’ll
have to go to Upland, of course.)
HOLY DAY/MOVIE DAY Of the few
businesses open today, local movie
houses will likely be among the busiest.
Box offices traditionally boom on
Christmas day, and studios have long
looked at holiday season release dates
has made nearly $500 million to date,
with the numbers adjusted for inflation.
This year, the big holiday film appears
to be Bad Mom’s Christmas. The se-
quel to 2016’s Bad Moms, the reboot is
a raunchy, R-rated romp starring the
same three drunken, foul-mouthed
moms, this time augmented by their
mothers and their comical neuroses.
Families collide, and hilarity ensues. It’s
definitely not for the under 12 in the
family though, unless you want to do a
lot of explaining. If naughty is unap-
pealing, you can always opt for the lat-
est installment in the Star Wars jugger-
naut, The Last Jedi. At press time it
had taken in $8 trillion at the box office,
so I guess it’s the law: you have to go
see it. For all the listings and show

never cooked. Or, perhaps all that plan-
ning fell flat, and the kids thought your
season passes to Mini-Golf Land were
more “meh” than “lit”? If your confi-
dence needs a boost, try a trip to the
Museum of Failure. “An experiential
journey of failures-past!” a press release
read. “Come fail with us!” Yes, the
show, open through February 4, is dedi-
cated to disappointment. All the sadness
happens at A+D Architecture and De-
sign Museum, 900 E. 4th St., Los Ange-
les. The exhibit is open today from 2 to 6
p.m., Thursday and Friday from 2 to 8
p.m., Saturday and Sunday from noon to
7 p.m., and is closed Monday and Tues-
day. It promises “a shrine of history’s
epic fails by some of the world’s best
known companies.” First displayed in
Sweden, the collection of 100 plus fail-
ures was originally conceived by psy-
chologist and innovation researcher, Dr.
Samuel West, as part of his research on
corporate success and innovation. “The
marketing catastrophe that was Bic for
Her? Yup. The two-wheeled, self-bal-

will showcase. Other highlights include

ple Newton, and even President Donald
Trump’s version of Monopoly from
1989.” It’s the feel-bad hit of the winter!

ICE SKATING If you’re a parent lucky
enough to be off work this week, your
kids are likely getting a bit whiny by
now. Try this: get them out of their com-
fort zones, off the screens and into some
bracing cold. It’ll cheer you up! Here’s
today’s tip: LA’s 20th annual Bai Holi-
day Ice Rink at Pershing Square, 532 S.
Olive St., in Downtown LA. The rink is
open from 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Gen-
eral admission is $9, and skate rental is
$4. Figure and hockey skate sizes range
from toddler size 8 to adult size 15. You
may also bring your own ice skates. For
skaters not up for braving the freeways,
the Metro Red or Purple Lines both run
to the Pershing Square Station, and rid-
ers receive a $1 discount on skating les-
sons. Ice-skating is always a hit, unless
your kids are like mine and they fall a
lot, in which case they’ll have a story to
tell for years to come! Either way, you’re
golden. The beloved recreational land-
mark is open through January 15. For in-

not. Here are a few local options: The

from 10 p.m. to well after Auld Lang
Syne time; If you’re looking for a little
less funk, Tutti Mangia, 102 N. Harvard
Ave., is offering a multi-course meal,
dancing to DJ, a trivia contest and
prizes; The lounge at Hotel Casa 425, at
425 W. First St., will be open from 5
p.m. to midnight. “Please be advised
that due to the nature of New Year’s Eve
there may be amplified noise on proper-
ty until midnight,” the hotel’s website
read. Let’s hope so! If you feel like ven-

CITY OF TREES, BUT NO WEED
1 American West, at 4700 Western Her-
Prop. 64, which makes the purchase of
recreational marijuana legal for smokers
over 21, goes into effect today. The de-
tails are still being worked out on a city-
by-city basis, and Claremont’s City
Council passed a resolution earlier this
year barring dispensaries in the City of
Trees. But still, theoretically, pot smok-
ers will be able to walk into a dispensa-
ry and purchase a bag when they wake
up this morning. Please note, the
COURIER is not condoning such be-
havior. But, if you do choose to imbibe
(or even if you don’t), we can recom-
mend a fun way to spend your morning,
stoned or stone cold sober: SNL alums
Will Ferrell and Molly Shannon are
hosting what promises to be a morning
of non-traditional Rose Parade coverage
through Amazon Prime and Funny or
Die. Google it. You’ll laugh regardless
of whether you hit the dispensary this
morning or not. Hundreds of other laws
go into effect today, including SB3,
which adds 50 cents to the state mini-
mum wage, a boost to $11 an hour (or
$10.50 for businesses with fewer than
25 employees); AB168 and 1008, which
prohibits employers from seeking or
asking about an applicant’s salary histo-
ry and asking about their criminal histo-
ry, respectively; and SB597, an expan-
sion of the existing “Safe at Home” law,
which offers victims of domestic vio-
lence, sexual assault and stalking a free
post office box, mail forwarding service
and confidential address, all of which
are designed to ensure their safety. The

include victims of sex trafficking.

unable to convey title for any reason, the successful
bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the re-
turn of monies paid to the Trustee, and the success-

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

of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by
contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insur-
ance company, either of which may charge you a fee for
this information. If you consult either of these resources,
you should be aware that the same lender may hold
more than one mortgage or deed of trust on this property.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER
ESTATE OF
SADDICK, LAURALEA TRISLER
Case No. 17STPB10896
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent cred-
itors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in
the will or estate, or both, of SADDICK, LAURALEA
TRISLER
A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by
Faisal Saddique in the Superior Court of California,
County of LOS ANGELES.
THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that
Faisal Saddique 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 representa-
tive to take many actions without obtaining court ap-
proval. 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 inde-
pendent 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 au-
thority.
A HEARING on the petition will be held on January
5, 2018 at 8:30 AM in Dept. No. 99 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 per-
sonal 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 sec-
tion 9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal authority may af-
fect 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 Pro-
bate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice
form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for pe-

unpaid principal balance of the obligation secured by the
property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, ex-
penses and advances at the time of the initial publication
of the Notice of Sale is: $345,536.64 Note: Because the
Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total
debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the
opening bid may be less than the total debt. If the Trustee
is unable to convey title for any reason, the success-
ful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the re-
turn of monies paid to the Trustee, and the success-

BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this prop-
erty lien, you should understand that there are risks in-
volved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bid-
ding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the high-
est bid at a trustee auction does not automatically enti-
tle 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 auc-
tion, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens
senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can re-
ceive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to
investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstand-
ing liens that may exist on this property by contacting
the county recorder’s office or a title insurance compa-
ny, either of which may charge you a fee for this infor-
mation. If you consult either of these resources, you should
be aware that the same lender may hold more than one
mortgage or deed of trust on this property. NOTICE TO
PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this no-
tice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the
mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to
Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law re-
quires that information about trustee sale postponements
be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy
to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether
your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the
rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property,

If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason,
the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy
shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and
the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.
The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and
delivered to the undersigned a written request to com-
mence foreclosure, and the undersigned caused a Notice
of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the
county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO
POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bid-
ding 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 au-
tomatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the
property. You should also be aware that the lien being
auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest
bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for
paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off,
before you can receive clear title to the property. You are
encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size
of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by
contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insur-
ance 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. NO-
TICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date
shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or
more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a
court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil
Code. The law requires that information about trustee
sale postponements be made available to you and to the
public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If
you wish to learn whether your sale date has been post-
poned, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date
for the sale of this property, you may call (866)-960-
8299 or visit this Internet Web site http://www.alti-

this case 2012-20629. Information about postponements
that are very short in duration or that occur close in time
to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in
the telephone information. The best way to verify post-
ponement information is to attend the scheduled sale
