Planned water shut off takes Claremont by surprise
A
clearer picture of the
cause of Tuesday’s wa-
ter outage is beginning to
take shape.
As many as 2,000 customers in Clare-
mont experienced water service interrup-
tions Tuesday, February 6, due to what Ben
Lewis, Golden State Water’s Foothill dis-
trict manager, explained as a “higher-
than-usual system demand during a planned
maintenance shutdown at the Miramar
Treatment Plant operated by Three Valleys
Municipal Water District.”
Three Valleys, a regional supplemental
water supplier, said that system demand
should not have caught Claremont by
surprise.
“That’s the wrong emphasis. I would say
we absolutely had nothing to do with wa-
ter outage,” said Three Valleys General
Manager Richard Hansen. “We have shut
our treatment plant down for one week
every year in February for the last 30 years.
Three months ago we knew the exact date
of the outage.”
Mr. Hansen maintains that steps should
have been taken by Golden State to noti-
fy its customers beforehand.
“If an outreach program were put in
place, this could have been averted,” he
said.
Rick Cota, executive director of the serv-
ice center for the Claremont Unified
School District, said the district learned
about the outage a little after 6 a.m. Tues-
day morning.
“We immediately brought in three port-
a-potties—one for staff, one for male stu-
dents and one for female students—and two
portable hand washing stations,” he said.
Although the district quickly resolved the
dilemma, Mr. Cota expressed disappoint-
ment with Golden State. “We wish the wa-
ter department would have given us a heads
up,” he said. “We have 700 kids up there
so we probably should have been given no-
tice about this. We’re prepared but notice
would have been nice.”
Mr. Hansen also expressed concern
about the city and schools not receiving ad-
vanced notice.
“I do know that the city irrigates their
parks on a certain day, and the schools ir-
rigate their playgrounds a certain day.

Claremont Unified School District officials scrambled Tuesday morning to set even signing a memorandum of under-
up temporary restroom facilities at Chaparral Elementary School.
Golden State employees went door-to-door Tuesday delivering water to residents in north Claremont along Moab Drive be-

State, customers could have reduced wa-
ter usage during the five-to-seven day pe-
riod set aside for the valve replacement, he
said. Adjusting sprinkler schedules at the
schools and city parks alone could have re-
solved the entire issue, Mr. Hansen said.
“The [Claremont] system probably has
inadequate storage to begin with. Three Val-
leys was working to insert a valve in the
pipeline at Golden State’s request, so the
pipeline on Miramar Avenue was out of
service,” Mr. Hansen said. “We were do-
ing work on their behalf. Had they taken
proper steps to notify—and if they had ad-
equate reservoir storage in north Clare-
mont—they would have been fine, just like
the city of La Verne.”
The city of La Verne doesn’t get its wa-
ter from Golden State. It owns and main-
tains its own municipal system. La Verne

the city had prevailed. Claremont lost the
eminent domain case and settled in Octo-
ber, agreeing to pay GSW $4,808,480 over
12 years, in addition to its own legal fees
of around $6.1 million.
Luckily for Claremont residents, water
service was restored by Tuesday afternoon.
“Once GSW contacted us, we jumped
through hoops in expediting the work,” Mr.
Hansen said. “We had planned an entire
week but got the work done in two days.
We got an emergency pump back system
by Tuesday afternoon and got [the water]
back on.”
Golden State issued a “boil water notice”
earlier this week—which was lifted late
Thursday afternoon—for residents in im-
pacted areas to kill bacteria and other or-
ganisms that may be in the city’s tap wa-
ter. GSW said, “failure to follow the advi-
sory could result in stomach or intestinal
illness.”
Customers notified to boil water were lo-
cated “primarily” north of Miramar Avenue
to the northern city limits and east of Indian
Hill to Padua Avenue, and from Foothill
Boulevard north to the 210 freeway, east
of Stowe Court and west of Monte Vista.
“Water needs to be boiled when you have
low pressure because it can suck contam-
ination into the pipe,” Mr. Hansen ex-
plained. “Golden State will need to flush
the lines and disinfect it. Water is valved
with different pressure zones, which is why
you need certified operators who know the
system.”
Golden State delivered bottled water to
homes and businesses in the impacted area,
For information, call GSW at (800) 999-

“Somehow the story is ‘Three Valleys

doesn’t cut it with me,” Mr. Hansen said.

A
Santa Clarita woman has been charged with
murder after causing a fatal wrong-way crash
on the 210 freeway in Claremont.
Nicole Thibault, 28, has been charged with 14 counts
in total—one count of murder, one count of grand theft,
six counts of attempted murder and six counts of assault
with a deadly weapon, according to a release from the LA
County District Attorney’s Office.
Ms. Thibault is scheduled to make an appearance at the
Foltz Criminal Justice Center on February 16. Her bail is
set at $8 million.
Ms. Thibault is accused of stealing a silver Ford F-150
pickup while the driver was inside a 7-Eleven in San
Bernardino on January 22. A two-year-old boy was in the
truck at the time, and Ms. Thibault dropped him off on the
side of the road before fleeing, according to California
Highway Patrol Officer Rodrigo Jimenez.
Prosecutors allege Ms. Thibault drove on the wrong side
bound lanes before swerving into oncoming traffic just be-
fore the Mills Avenue overpass and colliding with several
cars.
Daniel Castillo, a 69-year-old man from Fontana, died
at the scene. Six other victims suffered injuries, the DA’s
Office said.
The accident shut down the eastbound side of the 210
freeway for hours, trapping motorists during rush hour and
forcing them to find alternate routes on Claremont
streets.

the motel parking lot just before 11 p.m.,
Lt. Jason Walters of the Claremont Police
Department said. The officer saw drug

Police are investigating after a patient
at Pomona Valley Health Center claimed
his wedding ring was stolen from the lo-
cation. The victim stated he was at the cen-
ter for a medical treatment between 12:50
p.m. and 1:30 p.m. and placed the ring in
a locked drawer. When he was done, he
found the ring was missing from the
drawer. The ring, a gold men’s wedding
band with diamonds, was valued at

A possible threat at Claremont High
School ended up being a false alarm. A stu-
dent saw another teen in an online chat
room threaten to attack a high school, and
called police thinking it was aimed at Clare-
mont High. Upon further investigation, it
was determined the the threat wasn’t di-
rected at CHS, but at another school on the
east coast. The Claremont Police Depart-
ment forwarded the threat to the appro-
priate jurisdiction.
Thursday, February 1
Police pulled over the driver of a car for
driving without plates around midnight
near the intersection of Base Line Road and
Padua Avenue. The driver, later identified
as 38-year-old Michael Robinson Jr. of
Wilmington, tried to flee the scene. The
pursuing officer caught him a short time
later. An investigation revealed the car he
was driving was stolen out of Victorville
in July 2017, and Mr. Robinson was ar-
rested for grand theft auto, possession of
stolen property and resisting arrest.
****

he fled the scene of an accident. The col-
lision occurred at the intersection of Indi-
an Hill Boulevard and American Avenue
around 12:15 p.m., Lt. Walters said. A child
in the other car was slightly injured in the
crash, and the driver of the other car fled
the scene. Witnesses jotted down the li-
cense plate number, which officers traced
to a home in Pomona. The teen was also
driving without a license, and was arrest-
ed for hit and run and transported to
CPD jail.
****
Allen Perez was arrested again for
public intoxication. Police were called to
Trader Joe’s on suspicion of Mr. Perez pos-
sibly stealing merchandise from the store.
Nothing was stolen, but Mr. Perez was
deemed too drunk to be in public and was
arrested.
A Glendora man was charged with
bringing drugs into a jail after being
picked up on a warrant. Lamont Dinkins,
39, was stopped at Foothill Boulevard and
Garey Avenue around 3 a.m. and arrested
for the warrant and for having meth in one
of his pockets. As he was being booked in
the jail, officers found another bag of meth
in a second pocket. He was booked and
held for court.
****
Allen Perez was arrested for a third time,
this time on the 900 block of Foothill
Boulevard. A witness called police around
noon and claimed Mr. Perez, 44 from
Pomona, was drinking alcohol and possi-
bly intoxicated. Police confirmed the
claim, arresting then releasing him after
detox.
****
A Claremont man died by suicide at his
home on the 100 block of Cornell Street.
Police were called to the home after a fam-
ily member found the deceased man
around 12:23 p.m. The LA County Coro-
ner’s Office confirmed that the 54-year-old
man died from a self-inflicted gunshot
would to the chest. If you or anyone you

A Claremont man was arrested after
shooting a handgun during a family ar-
gument. Michael Zarate, 48, was intoxi-
cated and in a verbal altercation with his
family at a home on the 500 block of south
Indian Hill Boulevard around 5:45 p.m.
when he picked up a handgun and fired six
rounds into a window, shattering it. Chil-
dren were present inside the home at the
time, so Mr. Zarate was arrested for un-
lawful discharge of a firearm and child en-
dangerment. Nobody was injured.
****
he told a witness he was going to steal a
car. The teen, from Baldwin Park, revealed
his intentions to the witness while they rode
on a city bus into the Village around 11:35
p.m. Police were called, and the boy was
found on the 200 block of west Second
Street with a fixed-blade knife in his pos-
session. He was arrested for carrying a con-
cealed dirk or dagger, and released to his
parents with a citation.
Saturday, February 3
Allen Perez was arrested once again, this
time while he was passed out in a planter
in front of a home on the 700 block of north
Indian Hill Boulevard. When police arrived
around 2:30 p.m., they noticed Mr. Perez
was suffering from “extreme dehydration,”
Lt. Walters said. He was given a citation
and transported to Pomona Valley Medical
Center for treatment.
Sunday, February 4
Mr. Perez was arrested for the fifth time
in a week for public intoxication, this time
as he was sitting outside a residence on the
400 block of west Sixth Street around
10:20 a.m. Police determined he was too
drunk to remain in public, and he was ar-
rested and sent to CPD jail to sleep it off.

Changes are coming with sale of Hibbard property

A
s the plans for Village
South begin to take
shape, the erstwhile
Richard Hibbard car dealership
has finally found a buyer.
The information comes from Clare-
mont Principal Planner Chris Veirs,
who told the COURIER in a phone in-
terview Tuesday the plans on the
southerly expansion of the Village are
being recalibrated to accommodate the
new owner.
“I don’t want to say we’re going
back to the drawing board, what we’re
doing is we’re all enriching the plan,”
Mr. Veirs said. “Part of that is involve-
ment with a new owner and likely de-
velopment partner.”
But it isn’t a sale in the classic sense,
where a contract is signed and the deal
is closed, Mr. Veirs noted. Instead, he
said it was a conditional sales con-
tract—which is a deal that would be-
come final after a due diligence
process, when certain milestones were
reached throughout the planning phase.
One of those milestones is a zone
change, which Mr. Veirs noted might
become mixed-use. The current zone
designation on the Hibbard lot is com- COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff

“A
bsolutely, that’s
why we took this
off the agenda,”
Mr. Veirs said. “Basically it
precipitated them coming to
the city and saying, hey, we’re
very close to having a condi-
tional sales contract to buy this
property and we want to be in-
volved. That’s why we spiked
it from the planning commis-
sion and architectural commis-
sion agendas in December.”
Mr. Veirs would not name the buyer.
Saul Jaffe, who was noted as the repre-
going to be a residential development
called Gable Crossing until developer
Taylor Morrison backed out in 2015,
according to a previous COURIER arti-
cle.
Mr. Veirs did note there have been
multiple meetings with the new buyer,
and he indicated they were “fairly en-
lightened.” That stance is vital, Mr.
Veirs said, and he compared this notion
to developers who worked with the city
to build Village West.
“Waiting and bringing them along
and bringing them in as a partner in all
of this is very important,” Mr. Veirs
said.
The plans went into full swing in
June of last year, when Sargent Town
Planning and the city put together a
with tree-lined streets, a parking garage
in the northwest corner and a new com-
mercial street down the middle.
Mr. Veirs described those drawings
as, “very preliminary,” and a “what-if”
scenario.
“[The project designers] went off and
wanted to get something down so we
can envision what this looks like,” he
said. “It was never meant to be a fin-
ished product.”
He did note, however, there has been
a mixed reaction from the public to Vil-
lage South.
“There are people who want no
change, but the majority of folks have
said they would want something more
of a mixed use closer to the Village,” he
said.
Those plans changed when a buyer
emerged for the Hibbard lot, which en-
compasses 30 percent of the future site
of Village South.
As for a new timetable, Mr. Veirs de-
murred, noting that he would formulate
a more certain timeline within the next
week or two. The planning team needs
to do more work on the final product
before it makes appearances on future
agendas.
But he did note there would be
“scores” of public meetings in the fu-
ture as the details get hammered out.
“It’s taking some time, but it’s well
worth it,” he said.

umn about love...and I love fried chicken and would
probably ask for that anyway to comfort myself if I
found myself in a kidnap situation.
But mostly, I love my friends; especially a group
that was formed nearly 20 years ago and dubbed the
Ya-Yas (in honor of Rebecca Wells 1996 novel, Di-
vine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood).
In 1999, there was a small group of us—four ex-
actly—who always seemed to wait in the same area
for our then-third graders to be finished with school.
We would jokingly call ourselves “pretend stay-at-
home moms,” because, while we were able to pick-up
our children from school, we also all had jobs of one
kind or another, including lawyer and professional
musician.
One random afternoon, a mom turned to the rest of
us and said, “I just finished this book about a group of
women who have an incredible friendship and I’ve al-
ways wanted a group like that. How would you feel
about making a commitment to going out the first Fri-
day evening of each month?”
Going out? Without our husbands or children?
Without purses full of crayons? Without car seats or
strollers? Without Chuck E. Cheese at the restaurant?
It sounded audacious—leave our families alone,
one night a month, drink wine and talk smack about
our parenting techniques? We all enthusiastically said,
“Yes!”
We were (and still are) Catholics, Jews and Presby-
terians; Easterners, Southerners and native Californi-
ans; there was a decade age span between us. But we
each had a son and a daughter and a burning desire to
speak with honesty and rawness about childrearing,
husbands, advancing in careers and, as time wore on,
even helping our aging parents.
closed the membership. We were five women
strong—running dances at school, sharing nitpicking
(literally, lice nitpicking) pointers and carpooling. But
most of all, we were there for each other, especially
on those Friday nights.
We ate at new restaurants, sat and talked at local ice
cream and coffee shops until they closed, went to the
movies, adventured to comedy clubs and even at-
tended a live taping of the NBC comedy, Friends.
And through it all, we talked. We talked about ab-
surd and disgusting things like scabies (how were my
kids getting these disgusting things?!), and we talked
about more serious matters like hot flashes.
When I had a ruptured brain aneurysm in 2008, my
Ya-Ya sisters sat in the hospital with me night and
day, just like my real sisters. We’ve shared happy
times (one of us is a grandma now!) and sad.
Our third graders, and their siblings, are all grown-
up, contributing members of society—from serving in
the United States Air Force to working in nonprofits,
the theater and in tech industries.
And still we meet, once a month. I adore these
women. They have seen me through thick and thin
(size 8 to size 14 and everywhere in between). Happy
Valentine’s Day to the ladies I love—my life wouldn’t
be nearly as fun or full of affection without you.

The time is now for a new public safety facility
by Larry Schroeder, mayor of the city of Claremont
A
fter extensive analysis and review, the
Claremont City Council has placed
a general obligation bond measure
on the June 5, 2018 ballot to fund a new po-
lice facility.
The new police station would replace the existing sub-
standard station on Bonita Avenue. The proposed police
facility is significantly smaller and less expensive than the
concept presented to voters in 2015 and was developed
through a community input process.
The existing station at Bonita Avenue was built in 1972
and serves as the emergency services center for the city.
At the time the station was constructed, the population and
service area of Claremont was much smaller and was
served by an all-male police force of less than 20 officers.
While computers and video are essential to police work
today, the current station was built at a time when rotary
phones and typewriters were all that was needed and fe-
male officers were uncommon. Over the years, the city
has adapted offices and storage areas into the women’s lock-
er room, computer server room, evidence processing and
communication center.
For over a decade, city commissions and committees
have been studying the feasibility of building a new fa-
cility to replace the aging police station. Although the cur-
rent station has served the needs of the community for more
than 45 years, it is no longer equipped to meet the demands
of a modern police force.
The existing station also does not meet current state codes
and requirements for an “essential services” building. “Es-
sential services” is a category of services which if inter-
VIEWPOINT
rupted would endanger the life, health or personal safe-
ty of the whole or part of the population. Buildings that
house essential services must be constructed at a much high-
er standard than residential or commercial construction in
order for the structure to withstand natural disasters and
remain operational 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Since the Northridge earthquake, building standards have
dramatically changed in California to ensure essential serv-
ices buildings can structurally withstand a major earthquake.
Engineers now know that the concrete block materials, like
those used in the Claremont station, will not withstand a
major seismic event.
Additionally, the existing station was built before the
enactment of the Americans with Disabilities Act and does
not provide adequate facilities for female officers and staff.
The jail facility does not meet current State of California
Department of Corrections’ standards. The city hired an
architect and structural engineer to analyze and compare
the cost of renovating the existing station. The engineer
found the limitations in the structure and foundation of the
existing building make expansion and renovation not fea-
sible.
Over the years, the city council and staff have met with
state and federal representatives and agencies to secure grant
funds and financing for the station. Time and again, the
city has been told there are no funds for brick and mor-
tar projects, only specific aspects of the project such as tech-
nology and communications.
Faced with no alternate way to fund the police facili-
Claremont COURIER/Friday, February 9, 2018 7
ty, the city council proposed a parcel tax measure in 2015
to fund a new 35,000-square-foot $50 million police fa-
cility on Monte Vista Avenue. The parcel tax measure failed
to pass.
Following the defeat of Measure PS, then Mayor Corey
Calaycay formed a 15-member citizen committee to an-
alyze the police station. The committee was made up of
a diverse cross section of Claremont residents. The com-
mittee looked at the needs of the department, analyzed the
department’s operations, identified efficiencies and re-
viewed designs, costs and locations.
After nine months, the committee recommended a
26,000-square-foot police facility at the existing location
on Bonita Avenue costing no more than $25 million and
funded through a 25-year general obligation bond.
In July 2016, the city hired WMM and Associates to
develop a schematic design and plan for a new two-sto-
ry facility. For nine months, the city worked with the ar-
chitect to design a facility that meets the current and fu-
ture needs of the community. City staff shared these con-
ceptual plans with residents and businesses at four com-
munity meetings in the summer of 2017 and asked for in-
put on a preferred funding mechanism.
Using the information gathered during the communi-
ty meetings and an online survey, staff presented a report
to the city council on possible funding options. The city
council voted to fund the construction of a new station
through a general obligation bond measure, as recom-
mended by the Ad Hoc Citizen Committee.
The city is proposing a $23.5 million bond with a bond
term of 25 years. The assessment is $31 per $100,000 in
assessed value on a property. The city would contribute
$1.5 million in general fund money for fixtures and fur-
nishings and any grant money would be used to reduce
the bond amount.
When developing the new police station proposal and
deciding on a funding option, the city council weighed all
its options and took into account residents’ concerns. While
not everyone will agree on the funding choice, the need
for a new police station is clear.
The proposal before voters is a product of the Claremont
community input process and represents the size, location,
cost and funding our residents requested. I encourage res-
idents to find out more about the condition of the current
station and the proposed new station at claremontca.org
or schedule a tour of the station by calling (909) 399-5411.

Robert Friedman
Great-grandfather, art lover, social justice warrior, environmentalist, friend
Robert (Bob) Friedman, a 10-year
Claremotn resident, died January 9, 2018
at the age of 88.
Bob was born in 1929 to Jessamine and
Clarence Friedman in Brooklyn, New
York. After graduating from Brooklyn
High School, he spent several years work-
ing in agriculture, where one of his favorite
jobs was in a tomato processing plant.
He left home at the age of 17 and trav-
eled the country, spending time working
various odd and interesting jobs. He was
an extra with New York’s Metropolitan
Opera, built fences and sold magazines
door-to-door in Texas, among many oth-
er short-term vocations. He wrote many
witty and endearing stories about this time
of his life.
During the Korean War, Mr. Friedman
served in the United States Army, and was
stationed on Enewetak Atoll in the Mar-
shall Islands. In 1955, he earned his bach-
elor’s degree in political science, with a ma-
jor in Far Eastern studies, from the Uni-
versity of California, Berkeley. He did his
post graduate work in agriculture at UC
Davis. His time at Berkeley instilled in him
a sense of activism that stayed alive his en-
tire life.
After graduating from UC Davis, Mr.
Friedman began his career with the Bureau
of Indian Affairs in Crownpoint and
Gallup, New Mexico. In 1958, he married
his first wife, Meredith Luther, with
whom he had four children: John, Kather-
ine, Margaret and Elizabeth. Throughout
Harvey Wichman
Grandfather, longtime Claremont Colleges professor, pilot
Harvey Wichman, who taught at the
Claremont Colleges for nearly 40 years,
died February 2 at the age of 86.
He was born November 10, 1931 in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the first of five
children to Helen (Bagley) Wichman
and Ray Wichman. At age five, his fam-
ily moved to nearby Greendale, where he
lived until graduating from high school.
At 16, Mr. Wichman and his friends
formed an Explorer Air Scout troop and
purchased a Piper J-3 Cub, a simple, af-
fordable plane in which young Harvey first
learned to fly.
He earned his bachelor’s and master’s
degrees from California State University,
his life, he was actively involved in the lives
of his children, remaining quite close al-
ways.
In 1962, he and his wife, along with their
first two children, headed to Vietnam,
where he held a civilian position with the
US State Department as a rural develop-
ment officer. He set off with high hopes of
using his knowledge and skills in agri-
culture and irrigation to help the rural peo-
ple living and farming in South Vietnam.
Two years later, with the reality of the po-
sition in Vietnam far different from what
he had expected or hoped for, he returned
with his family—which now included a
third child—to New Mexico. His first wife,
now Meredith Kopald, worked with him
Long Beach, and his PhD from Claremont
Graduate University, then taught psy-
chology for almost 40 years at Claremont
McKenna College and at his alma mater,
Claremont Graduate University.
Mr. Wichman’s research was primari-
ly in the area of aviation psychology. Over
the years he worked closely with Mc-
Donnell Douglas, NASA and Jet Propul-
sion Laboratory. He also taught flying for
many years at both Harvey Mudd College
and Cable Airport in Upland.
He was known as a superlative teacher,
winning many awards and the lifelong
friendship of numerous students, his fam-
ily shared. He was also a beloved broth-
for the last six months of his life as the co-
author of a publication detailing their
fascinating time in Vietnam in the early
1960s.
After returning from Vietnam, he re-
sumed work for the BIA. In 1969, he was
appointed superintendent of the Eight
Northern New Mexico Indian Pueblos. In
that position, he was most proud of his role
in successfully negotiating the return of
Blue Lake to the Taos Pueblo Indians.
After retiring, he and his second wife,
Palmyra Lomonaco, moved to Durham,
North Carolina, where they were in-
volved in local politics and supported mu-
sic and arts in the area. The couple spent
summers in Lamoine, Maine, a place
dear to Mr. Friedman’s heart, and where
he felt most at home. He spent his summers
in their abundant garden, tending to a field
of lupines, kayaking on the Skillings Riv-
er, and communing with loons.
In 2008, the couple moved to Claremont
to be close to family. He devoted the last
decade of his life to caring for his wife, who
suffered from Alzheimer’s disease and ear-
ly stage Parkinson’s. He was buoyed by
much time with family and friends, en-
joying nothing more than a good, stiff drink
at Walter’s Restaurant, a plate of anything
made of chocolate, and stimulating con-
versation.
Mr. Friedman will be remembered for
his devotion to his family and friends. He
was kind, a good listener, and he kept the
confidence of those who trusted him, his

Mr. Wichman is survived by his sister,
Rosemary Derouin; his wife, Ann; two
sons, Russell (Sue-Ann) and Glenn; four
grandchildren, Caleb, Jake (and their
mother, Nina), Heather (Jake) and Sara-
Beth. He was the patriarch of a large and
loving family of relatives too numerous
to mention.

family shared. He was a keen observer of
people, situations and politics, and loved
to comment with his unique brand of wit
and humor. He was a pun-loving guy, and
a master at wordplay. Wherever he went,
people liked him. Befriended by people
from all walks of life, he was genuinely in-
terested in their stories, and always worked
to make people feel respected, valued and
loved. 
Mr. Friedman continuously fought for
social justice, the environment and good
public television. He loved the arts, and
supported them everywhere he lived. He
loved nature and the outdoors, and com-
mitted much of his time, resources and ca-
reers to protecting the environment, pro-
moting good stewardship of our earth and
honoring the special relationship and her-
itage that people around the world have
with their land. He is deeply missed by his
family and friends.
Mr. Friedman was preceded in death by
his second wife, Palmyra, in August 2017.
He is survived by his children, John,
Katherine, Margaret and Elizabeth, their
spouses, and his many grandchildren and
great-grandchildren.
A celebration of his life will be held in
Claremont on February 20, 2018. For in-
formation, email katididd@live.com.

ter at splcenter.org, The Parkinson’s Foun-

William E. Lesher
Global religious leader, lifelong civil rights advocate
Reverend William E. Lesher, a glob-
al religious leader who was president of
two Lutheran seminaries, crossed the
Edmund Pettus bridge in Selma, Ala-
bama with Martin Luther King, Jr. dur-
ing the landmark 1965 civil rights
march, and most recently chaired the
Parliament of World Religions, died
January 23 of heart disease and cancer
at his home in Claremont. He was 85.
“Bill Lesher was a larger-than-life
figure in theological education,” said
James Nieman, president of the Luther-
an School of Theology in Chicago, Illi-
nois. “His unparalleled tenure of leader-
ship in two seminaries, including our
own for 19 years, is hard for someone
in my role to fathom today. I am grate-
ful to God for Bill’s gifts of vision and
commitment, and will miss his wide
smile, caring words and joyful heart.”
Reverend Lesher served as pastor at
Reen Memorial Lutheran Church in St
Louis, Missouri from 1958 to 1964,
and then at Chicago’s St Luke’s Luther-
an Church from 1964 to 1971. He and
his two brothers, Bob and Jack, fol-
lowed their father, Royal Lesher, who
was also a pastor as are a nephew and
niece.
Reverend Lesher left the pulpit in
1971 for work in the seminary, first on
the faculty at LSTC and then, in 1973,
as president of the Pacific Lutheran
Theological Seminary in Berkeley. He
returned to Chicago in 1979 to become
president at LSTC, where he remained
until his retirement in 1997.
Throughout his career, he embraced
a global vision for the church and for
interfaith dialogue, eventually leading
him to the Parliament of World Reli-
gions. He participated in the organiza-
tion’s centennial event in Chicago in
1993 and was its president from 2003
to 2010, leading two major interfaith
gatherings in Barcelona, Spain and
Melbourne, Australia, each drawing
about 10,000 participants from more
than 80 religions.
“I join with current and emeritus
trustees in expressing our gratitude for
the enormous contribution of Bill Lesh-
er to the parliament and the wider inter-
faith movement,” said Robert Sellers,
chair of the parliament’s board of
trustees. “We are greatly in his debt and
continue to be inspired by his exempla-
ry life.”
William Lesher was born in 1932 in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the second
son and last child of Royal and Ruth
Wagaman-Lesher. His father was a
Lutheran pastor in Mount Lebanon, just
outside of Pittsburgh. His mother, a
schoolteacher, died from breast cancer
when he was 13 and living in Chicago.
His father remarried another widower,
Evelyn, who brought a third brother,
Jack Lundin, to the family.
Young Mr. Lesher attended high
school in Ridgewood, New Jersey,
where the family moved when his fa-
ther became director of evangelism for
the United Lutheran Church. He gradu-
ated with a political science degree
from Wittenberg College in Springfield,
Ohio. He considered a career in interna-
tional diplomacy before entering the
seminary.
He met his wife of 60 years in 1957
in Geneva, Switzerland. A. Jean Olson
was working as a journalist/editor at the
Lutheran World Federation and he was
working as a tour guide in Europe
while interning in his final seminary
year at the World Council of Churches.
They were engaged on their first date, a
lunch after church on Palm Sunday, and
married later that year.
As a pastor in Chicago during the
1960s, Reverend Lesher was active in
support of civil rights and in protest of
the Vietnam War. He marched over the
Edmund Pettus bridge in Selma with
Martin Luther King two days after
Bloody Sunday, and he was tear-gassed
with anti-war protesters while minister-
ing to them in a North Side park after
the 1968 Democratic National Conven-
tion in Chicago.
He adopted a global mission for his
life from his internship in Europe. At
LSTC, he sought initiatives that re-
quired students to explore “everything
from a global perspective,” leading to
creation of the Chicago Center for
Global Ministry. He is also credited
with launching the Zygon Center for
Claremont COURIER/Friday, February 9, 2018 9
OBITUARIES
Religion and Science at LSTC.
He became involved with the Parlia-
ment of World Religions at its centenni-
al celebration in 1993, 100 years after
the Chicago World’s Fair event de-
scribed as the first dialogue between
east and west religions. After his retire-
ment from LSTC in 1997, he focused
much of his life on the interfaith move-
ment. He attended the parliament in
Cape Town, South Africa in 1999 and
was chair of its board of trustees from
2003 to 2010.
“I think of the inter-religious move-
ment as the spiritual expression of the
globalized world,” he said in a 2009
magazine interview. “The very exis-
tence of the interreligious movement is
a massive change in the religious land-
scape of the world. (It) is an essential
force for good that is helping humanity
meet the challenges of the modern
world.”
Reverend Lesher is survived by his
wife, Jean; two sons, David and Grego-
ry; and three grandchildren, Christo-
pher, Timothy and Samera.
An interfaith memorial service will
be held at 3:30 p.m. on March 11 at Pil-
grim Place, 625 Mayflower Road,
Claremont. Rector Emeritus, the Rev.
Ed Bacon of All Saints Church in
Pasadena, will be the preacher.

Cambi Evers-Everette
Event planner, loving wife and friend
Cambi Evers-Everette died in her
mother’s arms on Tuesday, January 23
in Oakland, California, after a long
struggle with breast cancer. She was 34
years old.
The phrase “Life Is Beautiful,” paint-
ed in large black letters on a white brick
wall, was Cambi’s last Facebook entry,
posted only days before she died. Fami-
ly, friends and colleagues will always
remember her as a strong, positive and
upbeat person who brought joy and
laughter into everyone’s life.
Cambi was born on June 4, 1983 in
Takoma Park, Maryland, to Reena
Evers-Everette and Charles Everette.
She was the first granddaughter of civil
rights leaders, Medgar Wiley Evers and
Myrlie Evers-Williams. The family
moved from Washington, DC to Los
Angeles in 1984, then to Claremont in
1989.
Cambi’s education began at Marcus
Garvey Academy in Los Angeles. She
then attended Mountain View Elemen-
tary School, El Roble Intermediate and
Claremont High School, where she was
an active member of the award-winning

Great grandmother, Hawaiian native, Village fixture
Rosalind S. Watson, a longtime fix-
ture in the Claremont Village, died in
January after a short illness at 99 years
of age.
She was born Rosalind Nunes Santos
in 1918 in the small plantation town of
Ahualoa on the island of Hawaii, the
seventh of 10 children to Frank and
Mary Santos. When she was a young
child the family moved to Oahu, where
they had a home in Nuuanu, near the
Nuuanu Pali Lookout.
At an early age she excelled in what-
ever she did. She was an exceptional
student, artist and writer, and was inter-
ested in designing clothes. She chose
not to pursue design, though, and after
graduating high school enrolled in col-
lege to study business.
After the outbreak of World War II
she worked as a secretary for the US
Navy, where she also helped translate
for enlistees who spoke Pidgin, the
local Hawaiian language. While on an
outing with friends she met Ralph Wat-
son, who was the head of a construc-
tion crew on Midway Atoll that had
been evacuated to Honolulu. On their
first date he said he was going to marry
her. They were married 28 days later.

After graduating from high school in
2001, Ms. Evers-Everette attended Vas-
sar College in Poughkeepsie, New
York, where she earned a degree in po-
litical science and economics in 2005.
She pursued a career in public relations
and event planning, working with com-
panies on both the east and west coasts,
managing events for the film, music
and tech industries, including red carpet
and charitable events. In 2016, she be-
gan work at what she identified enthu-
siastically as her “best job ever,” as an
event manager for Streamline Events in
Emeryville, California.
Her colleagues at Streamline agree
that Ms. Evers-Everette brought amaz-
ing skills and a larger-than-life person-
ality to the close-knit team with which
she worked. She traveled extensively
with friends and work colleagues, espe-
cially enjoying her visits to Argentina,
Hong Kong, Paris, Japan, Spain, Italy
and Hawaii.

Susan, was born. Later they moved to
Los Angeles, Mr. Watson’s hometown.
In 1954 the family moved back to
Honolulu. With all her family so close,
Ms. Watson was delighted. She went to
work for a chain of gift shops, ulti-
mately becoming a store manager, and
worked there for 30 years.
In 1970 she got on a plane in Hon-
olulu and flew by herself halfway
around the world, to Liberia, West
Africa, to be present for the birth of her
grandchild, Jessica. She detested air
travel, but was always a determined
woman, her family shared.
She retired in 1986, and soon there-
after Mr. Watson died. After a few
years she moved to Irvine, California,
to be close to her daughter and family.
Soon they all relocated to Claremont,
where Ms. Watson lived in the Village.
She loved her easy access to the quaint
downtown area, and developed many
friends in the small college town. She
could often be seen gliding down the
sidewalk, perfectly dressed with her hat
and umbrella, on the way to the shops.
When her mobility became an issue,
she moved in with her daughter. Her
greatest joy was her time spent with her

OBITUARIES
“My memories of Cambi are sooth-
ing: a friend to laugh with at a party, a
quiet but dynamic talent on the dance
floor, a level-headed and incredible lis-
tener when you needed her,” shared
Michelle Perrott, a friend from Vassar.
“I don’t think Cambi even knew how to
be anything but grace and positivity.”
Other friends and family will always
remember her love of bright colors,
great music, the beach, fun parties with
lots of laughter and her strong connec-
tion with her beloved dog, Scooter.
Ms. Evers-Everette is loved and sur-

doing the hula.
She is survived by her daughter and

Claremont students hit the dirt in mountain biking competition

M
ountain biking started about 40
years ago when a ragtag group in
Marin County started bombing
down Mount Tamalpais’ dirt roads on con-
verted beach cruisers they called klunkers.
Since then it has become a multi-million-dollar sport
with sophisticated full-suspension bicycles, an interna-
tional race scene and, since 1996, part of the summer
Olympics.
As a result, it is little surprise that middle and high
school athletes across Southern Cal-
ifornia wanted to get in on the ac- SPORTING
tion, forming a league that has LIFE
grown to 64 teams and a five-race series. The SoCal
Cycling League, which is celebrating its 10th anniver-
sary, is part of the National Interscholastic Cycling As-
sociation (NICA), which establishes guidelines for
participation, training for coaches and technical assis-
tance among other services.
Claremont High School joined the fun four years ago
when the former owner of Jax Bicycles, Jonathan
Chang, approached some of his teenage customers
about starting a team.
Beginning with just four riders, the team has grown
to 18 today, with cyclists ranging from sixth to 12th
grades with six riders on a middle school team. It is not
officially sanctioned by Claremont Unified School Dis- COURIER photos/Steven Felschundneff

SPORTING LIFE/from the previous page
Anyone who has shopped for—or even just seen the
prices of—race-ready mountain bikes might come to the
conclusion it’s a sport for the wealthy. But coaches say
it is actually cheaper than other club sports, such as vol-
leyball or soccer.
Assistant coach Blair Pike Sr. said his son Blair Pike
was involved in club soccer but the cost was prohibi-
tive. “Even at entry level you have club fees, league fees
and coaching fees, and it is not unusual for it to be over
$3,000 a season,” he said.
His son purchased a Trek mountain bike from Jax that
included a NICA discount. “If he gets two years out of
a bike, we are ahead. Plus you can always sell it.”
Head Coach Eric Grubb added that no athlete will be
turned away because they lack a bicycle.
“You don’t have to spend a ton of money. NICA has
a good network, plus there are local families that have
extra bikes. If a kid couldn’t afford a bike we would find
something,” he said.
He stresses that even though it is a race team, racing
is not the main goal.
“We don’t focus on the racing aspect, but strive to

he said. “It changes some kids’ lives.”

was four. Since then, he has raced BMX, MTB and even
road bikes.

trail courtesy. Last week they encountered an equestrian
while on a night ride, which is a common recipe for trail
conflict.
“Even without me there, they were on the side of the
trail, had turned their lights out and were super respect-
ful,” he said. “They know how to get along and set the
right attitude to be good stewards for our sport and our
school.”
The 2018 season begins February 24 and 25 with the
Beach to Boulders race at Lake Perris, and four more
races end the season in early May. There is also a state
championship in Petaluma for high school riders.
The team relies on local businesses and individuals to
help cover expenses. Current sponsors include Grizzbys
Biscuits and Donuts, Jax Bicycles, cyclingdecals.com,
Competitive Edge Cyclery, Swifty Signs, Torco, Ontario
Jeep & Chrysler, Troy Lee Designs and Hinson Racing.
They welcome new athletes, although this close to the
first race, one would need to already be an experienced
rider to join. The team begins training in October so be-
ginners are encouraged to get involved at that time.

CHS ROUNDUP Tuesday, bringing the Tartans record

Girls water polo
With a decisive 13-3 victory over Dia-
mond Bar at Diamond Bar on Tuesday
evening, the undefeated girls water polo
team netted their first ever Palomares
League title. It has been a storybook sea-
son for the Pack with an 8-0 league
record, 24-5 overall, with many of their
league wins being lopsided.
Over the weekend, Claremont will
learn the identity of its next opponent in
the first round of CIF, with that game like-
ly be held in Claremont.
Boys basketball
The Pack took on number one Dia-
mond Bar at home after press time on
Thursday in a game that will decide
whether the Pack will share a league title
with the Brahmas.
After last week’s heartbreaking loss to
Bonita, Claremont had a relatively easy
time defeating Ayala, 51-32, on Tuesday
in Chino Hills. The Pack only led by five
points at the half, but really pulled away
in the second half, outscoring the Bull-
dogs by 14 points.
Junior Reggie Retzlaff led the charge

with 10 points, followed by senior Jacob
Henry with 8 and sophomore Joshua

an amazing 14 rebounds, of which 10
were defensive.

other as the Palomares League winds

appointing 2-1 loss to fourth-place Ayala
in Chino Hills. The Pack’s lone goal was
from senior Lily Whitenack with an as-
sist from junior Janelle Gutierrez.
In their last league game Tuesday,
Claremont redeemed themselves by de-
feating last-place Diamond Bar, 1-0, at
CHS. The game’s lone goal came in the
first half when junior Sophie Jones found
the net, assisted by senior Elisabeth Chua.
Claremont, 6-3-1, is solidly in second
place after Glendora lost to Ayala on
down to 5-4-1.
Girls basketball
The Pack lost their second to last
league match to second-place Ayala, 46-
28, on Tuesday in Chino Hills. The girls’
record is now 3-6 and they played their
final league match against Diamond Bar
after press time on Thursday.
Boys soccer
Claremont lost its last two Palomares
League games, but still retains its second
place league rank with a record of 6-3-1,
just behind Glendora, which claimed the
league title with a record of 8-1-1.
Last Thursday the boys lost to visiting
Ayala, 2-1. The score was tied at the half,
but the Bulldogs got the lead in the sec-
ond half. Senior Justin Tinajero scored
Claremont’s goal.
On Tuesday Claremont lost again, 2-1,
this time in an away game against Dia-
mond Bar. Junior Isaac Quintanar scored
Claremont’s goal.
The second-place finish is good
enough for a berth in the CIF tourna-
ment, which begins next week.

Pretty in pink
With the warm weather in the Claremont
forecast this winter, it’s no surprise some
trees may be fooled into thinking it’s sum-
mer. Just north of the Claremont Village
near Harvard Avenue some early bloom-

city a touch of springtime. The good news
is high temperatures will drop to the 70s
over the next two weeks but, unfortu-

ture, “Where Do We Go From Here?: The
Future of Early American History,” with

ABSENCE, OTHERING AND NAM-

ING Scripps College Fine Arts Founda-
tion presents a free and open discussion,
“Absence, Othering and Naming,” at 2
p.m. at Hampton Room, Malott Com-
mons, 1030 Columbia Ave., Claremont.
Professor Ken Gonzales-Day will dis-
cuss the three concepts, which have in-
formed his artistic practice for the past
20 years; “They reflect an interdiscipli-
nary approach to his art making that has
sought to understand the historical con-
struction of race and the limits of repre-
sentational systems through the study of
material objects, ranging from the lynch-
ing postcard to the plaster cast,” a press
release read. “In addition to historical re-
search, many of the projects question the
(indexical) authority once associated
with both photography and plaster life-
casts in the 19th and 20th centuries. The
work is a reflection on the history of
racial formation in the United States and
uses absence to foreground what is miss-
ing, while making palpable the affective
force of these histories on the construc-
tion of human difference.” More info is

Mick
says
It’s
awesome!
I
am a film nut with three
young kids, so this
means I see most every-
thing they’re interested in as
well as the stuff I like.
Over the years, I’ve been surprised
by some wonderful, affecting kids’
films—Monsters, Inc., Elf and Wall-
E come to mind—and some, well, less
than stellar work that I won’t name here
out of respect for the hardworking
filmmakers and writers. Let’s just say
the worst one involved a trio of singing
rodents.
Being into movies, I’m always on the
lookout for a new way to enjoy them,
and Laemmle’s
Claremont 5 has
a series that has
really won me
over, Turner Clas-
sic Movies Big
Screen Classics.
The series kicked
off in January
with The Treas-
ure of the Sierra Madre (“Badges? We
ain’t got no badges. We don’t need no
badges. I don’t have to show you any
stinkin’ badges!”), and continues with
The Philadelphia Story on February
18 at 7 p.m. and February 21 at 2 p.m.
Hitchcock’s classic thriller Vertigo
screens March 18 and 21, and in April
the Laemmle gets physical with Olivia
Newton John’s leather pants and,
yeah, a young John Travolta too, in the
timeless musical, Grease.
Other upcoming vintage cinema in-
cludes Sunset Boulevard, The Pro-
ducers, Big, The Big Lebowski,
South Pacific, Rebel Without a
Cause, Mr. Smith Goes to Washing-
ton, Die Hard and, in December,
White Christmas. Click through
laemmle.com to view the full schedule.
It’s a great outing, the lineup looks to
be mostly suitable for the whole fam-
ily, and It’s Awesome!

COURIER interns Kellen Browning and Meghan Bobrowsky both hail from Davis, California.
Interns join COURIER staff, just in time for Valentine’s Day
T
he Claremont COURIER is home to
a young journalism power couple, in-
terns Kellen Browning and Meghan
Bobrowsky, both just 19. The talented
Claremont Colleges students joined the
staff last fall and this month, respectively.
They met at Davis High School in Davis, a suburb of
Sacramento, where they both worked on the school news-
paper, The Hub. Mr. Browning’s work as a senior at the
student publication landed him the prestigious 2016 Jour-
nalist of the Year award from the Journalism Education
Association, honoring the nation’s top high school news
writer.
Ms. Bobrowsky—not to be outdone by her boyfriend—
turned around and won the same award the following year,
also as a senior. Now a freshman at Scripps College, her
major is politics. Mr. Browning, a Pomona College soph-
omore, is undeclared, but says he’ll likely also end up as
a politics major. Surprisingly, none of Claremont’s five
undergraduate universities—Pomona, Scripps, Claremont
McKenna, Harvey Mudd or Pitzer—offer a journalism
major.
As far as writing goes, Ms. Bobrowsky’s passion is for
investigative pieces about budgets and monetary concerns,
while Mr. Browning is drawn to the adrenaline of
breaking “spot” news. Along with their COURIER
beats, they are both on the staff of the Colleges’ The Stu-
dent Life, where this semester she is the newspaper’s life
and style editor, and he serves as managing editor for news
and sports.
They are both the first journalists in their families. Ms.
Bobrowsky got the bug after taking a class at Davis High
and attending a summer workshop. In a perfect world, she
would work in both print and video.
“I really like video journalism,” she said. “I’ve applied
for a couple of internships this summer, and it’s definitely
something I’m interested in pursuing. But, that being said,
I am still interested in writing. If there was a way to com-
bine both of those mediums, that would be the goal.”
Mr. Browning has been on the journalism track for some
time, even gaining early insight into the high finance end
of the business.
“In third grade, I helped create a school newspaper,”
he said. “We put out an issue, took all the money we got
from it—I think it was $9—and donated it to the com-
puter lab and told them to get better [video] games.”
Despite this promising start, his path wasn’t clear un-
til his junior year at Davis High. There, he and another
Hub writer, Grace Richey, co-wrote a story about the
school’s lack of an indoor lunch space, and how this was
affecting students with disabilities. The local school board
took note, and ended up approving construction of a new
building, which opened last month.
“It was interesting, and it was a good story, but I don’t
think we ever expected it would come to anything. So that
was really amazing, and it was really an honor to see that
our work had such an impact,” Mr. Browning said.
The Journalism Education Association agreed, award-
ing the pair its 2015 Student Impact Award.
“I think that was really what sparked my interest in do-
ing this as a career,” Mr. Browning said.
After Mr. Browning set out for Pomona College in fall
of 2016, the couple mantained a long distance relation-
ship while Ms. Bobrowsky finished her senior year. She
moved to Claremont last August to begin her studies at
Scripps.
“It reminds me a lot of Davis, just having the college
town, the campus, and being able to walk downtown,”
she said. “That’s something that’s really nice about Davis,
and it’s something that’s really nice about living here.”
Though nearly twice the size, with about 65,000 res-
idents to Claremont’s roughly 36,000, the cities do share
Claremont COURIER/Friday, February 9, 2018 20
COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff
some commonalities: Like Claremont, Davis’ largest em-
ployer is a college, UC Davis, and its leafy downtown area
bears more than a passing resemblance to our own Vil-
lage.
“Yeah that’s true,” Mr. Browning said. “It’s a college
town and it’s well educated. I think they are very simi-
lar places. That’s definitely part of the reason I decided
to come here. It feels nice and comforting and familiar.”
Ms. Bobrowsky’s father was skeptical about his
daughter’s desire to pursue journalism, she said, ex-
presssing concerns that the traditional newspaper busi-
ness is struggling.
“He wasn’t really discouraging me,” she said. “But he
was just like, ‘You’re not going to make a lot of money.’”
Her father, an insurance fraud investigator, eventual-
ly came around to support her decision.
“He sees that we have similar goals in our jobs: we’re
both investigating and trying to figure out and tell the truth,
so we were able to bond in that way. Our professions are
both about trying find the truth.”
As print journalism works to maintain its footing in the
digital world, mid-sized dailies have been consolidating
and, in some cases, calling it quits. This less-than-rosy fi-
nancial picture, combined with the arrival of the phrase
“fake news,” hasn’t exactly helped boost the appeal of jour-
nalism among the current crop of college students. Thank-
fully, for us here in Claremont, college interns seem to
be the exception to that rule.
“I don’t think journalism is dying, I think it’s just chang-
ing,” Mr. Browning said. “Local journalism is still real-
ly important. As for the perception of, ‘journalists are fake
news’ and all that, it just means we have to be even more
accountable, more transparent, and more objective in our
reporting. It’s clear to me that journalism is more important
than ever, keeping people in power in check, and telling
people what’s going on.” —Mick Rhodes

What an incredible year for Claremont real estate! Sales, as well as prices, were way up
on average over last year. Several interesting things to note about 2017—our inventory,
defined by the number of homes that were actively on the market for sale at any given
time, only broke into the 70s for about 2 weeks of the year! The inventory for the majority
of the year varied within the 60s. The year began much the same way that 2018 appears
to be doing so, with inventory in the 30s. Despite the lower inventory available at any
given time, sales were 9 percent greater in 2017 over 2016. This indicates that homes
were selling almost as quickly as they were being put on the market. It was commonplace
for homes to sell within 5-7 days of hitting the market, thus keeping inventory low, and
sales high. Another big jump this year was in the average price of the homes that sold.
Prices jumped 10 percent over the previous year, in all price ranges. Running the numbers
for the top 10 highest sales for both years revealed a 9.5% increase in 2017, so even
when exclucing some of the mega sales, the market appears to have jumped up about
10 percent over 2016. This is significant, and explains the much larger number of homes
selling over $750,000. Interest rates remained at about 4% throughout the year, which
likely continues to contribute to the strong real estate sales. Money is cheap, and buyers
are trying to take advantage of that as long as it lasts. The big question is, are we at the
top? If you asked me the same question this time last year, I would have replied, “we just
have to be,” yet another year passed with a rapidly growing real estate market. It’s
anybody’s guess what will happen in 2018. Will this be the year we hit the top, or will it
continue to rise into 2019 and beyond? Check back monthly for the latest figures!
