t seems people of southern California still have


a love affair with snow. Its always been this
way. Growing up in Claremont, I remember
people driving up Baldy Road to not only play in
the cold white stuff but also to fill up truck beds
with snow to take back down the mountain.
Fast-forward to 2016 and its safe to say nothing has really
changed. Or has it?
After spending time visiting the Baldy and Big Bear areas after
this recent snowfall, I can honestly say we have become even
crazier for a taste of winter. Maybe its global warming, or because its been the first significant snow in the mountains since
2010. Whatever the case, its amazing how the masses brave the
cold just for a chance to build a snowman.
On the Saturday over the MLK weekend, Ive never witnessed
a longer line of cars going up the mountain towards Big Bear. It
seemed the roads were clogged above 3000 feet and higher. The
traffic was only made worse by the large number of people who
pulled over to the side of the road to play. Clearly, snow in southern California has become a rare sight.
Given these winter roads are a tight two lanes, sharing the road
with someone sleddingor building snow figures as vehicles
stream byis not only dangerous, it brings traffic to a grinding
halt. There were times when these two-lane roads turned into
four-lane parking lots.
Even with these crowds, people were having fun. It was like
going to Disneyland without the cost. Although there was the
usual number of fast drivers, if someone was stuck, people were
ready to help. Strangers would chase runaway sleds for kids,
while family picnics would appear anywhere. It was not uncommon to see a snowman, shedding in the back of a pickup,
headed down the hill.
With all the waiting and discomfort crowds can bring, people
were dealing with it in a variety of unique, positive ways. Then
there was the turnout effect. Twice, I stopped at an empty
turnout to photograph the scenery. Within five minutes, the
turnout was packed with cars and people doing the same thing.
Ive rarely seen so many unusual selfies taken in one spot.
Even after a heavy snow of over two feet, it was quite impressive how the roads to Baldy and Big Bear were cleared
quickly. Within 24 hours or less, even vehicles with two-wheel

drive could safely get up the mountains. Given these roads are
the life blood of these communities, they really have it down to
a science. Not to say chains or a four-wheel drive wouldnt be
handy, especially on smaller roads or parking lots. But drivers
can count on the main roads being cleared of snow quickly.
Finally, these mountains roads can empty as fast as they fill up.
Driving off hours, or during regular weekdays, eliminates most
traffic issues. Lodging is more available and the ski lifts are far
less crowded. Day trips are easier to handle, given drive times are
greatly reduced.
Whatever the case may be, the mountains remain a popular
destination for a huge number of people. Access has never been
better, but patience and timing are critical and will greatly impact
your outdoor experience.
Just be prepared.

City, Golden State at odds over repair of water main breaks

wo Claremont water
mains have been leaking
for weeks, and the city is
at a stalemate with Golden State
Water (GSW) over their repairs.

The ongoing attempt by the city to


take over the water system appears to be
the defining factor for the leaks remaining unaddressed.
Jim Gingrich, who lives on Tulane
Road, has had a water main leaking in
front of his property for more than two
weeks. The main sits underneath a massive oak tree, and Mr. Gingrich said water officials told him they couldnt fix
the main without damaging the tree.
Mr. Gingrich also said a nearby main
break on Tulane Road near Wellesley
Drive has been leaking for over a month.
Its still leakingthey have not repaired it, Mr. Gingrich said. It should
be repaired and theyre not doing it.
Mr. Gingrichs next-door neighbor,
Gerald Goldman, had his tree cut down
to repair a leak on his property in 2014.
According to Mr. Gingrich, the trees
pre-date the neighborhood, a picturesque
mid-century block defined by the massive oak trees that run along the streets
edges.
A similar situation occurred in November 2015, after Michael and Karen
Rosenthal reported a water main leak on
their block near the corner of Oxford Avenue and 12th Street. According to Mr.
Rosenthal, a GSW technician said a main
replacement had not occurred due to the
citys ongoing litigation to take over the
water system.
City Manager Tony Ramos said the
leak on Tulane Road would be fixed, as
soon as possible, provided GSW takes
on the responsibility.
Were trying to figure out the best
ways to resolve those [ruptures] and to
get Golden State Water to fix the leak,
Mr. Ramos said.
Later, he added, It is the position of
Claremont that if there are existing water
leaks, it is the responsibility of Golden
State Water to repair them.
Ben Lewis, general manager for
GSWs Foothill District, outlined two
options for fixing the water leak. One, he
said, is a project to relocate the water
main into the middle of the street.
[The developers] planted the trees
right on top of the main, Mr. Lewis said.
And as they grew, the roots entangled
around the main and caused the break.
Mr. Lewis said the proposal to relocate
the main was submitted about a year
ago, to the Public Utilities Commission

On Wednesday, Mr. Lewis sent a statement from Golden State, which reads, in

Because the city has filed a lawsuit to
take over ownership of the water system, if Golden State Water is going to
make improvements to the system while
that lawsuit is pending, the City needs to
agree that the improvements are a necessary part of the water system. If the
City will not agree, then Golden State
will need to go to court to ask the judge

riminal charges will not be filed


in the El Roble sexting scandal,
the Claremont Police Department has confirmed.
The case was first reported on December 17,
2015, where it became known that as many as 15
students at El Roble Intermediate were sending and
receiving sexually explicit photos of themselves on
the social media apps Snapchat and Kik. Lt. Mike
Ciszek of the Claremont PD said the matter would be
resolved within the school district.
No one was arrested. We dealt with it administratively, Lt. Ciszek said.
The district attorney could have filed charges
against the students, who technically violated child
pornography laws by sending and receiving the photos.
A meeting was convened on January 7 between
students, parents, school administrators and police
officers. All parties were on the same page in regards to how the incidents should be dealt with, according to Lt. Ciszek.
Lt. Ciszek also mentioned that it could not be determined if the sexting happened on or off campus.

CHS drafting students go beyond the classroom

aking a drafting class can yield big


benefits for students, preparing
them for careers in areas like architecture, engineering, construction, carpentry and interior design.
Sometimes, however, its difficult to look at a twodimensional design on the page and see how it might
look if the project were actually undertaken.
Enter local architect Paul Wheeler, of Wheeler &
Wheeler Architects. On January, he took a group of
Claremont High School students in Reuben Woottons
drafting class on a tour of a real-live build site.
The students, led by Mr. Wheeler and Mr. Wootton,
walked from the high school to a home under construction in the nearby Towne Ranch neighborhood.
After grabbing a slice of pizza, they learned more
about the project.
The house, designed by Mr. Wheelers firm, is located on a 3,500-square-foot lot that once served as a
play-yard for the children of a physician who owned
the adjacent home.
The owner, who plans to sell the home upon completion, has every reason to expect it will fetch a good
price. Its in a desirable location, being a short walk to
CHS, El Roble Intermediate and the Village.
The house is unfinished, with exposed wood, pipes
and wiring, but its potential is evident.
It has a slope-roofed design with a mid-century flavor tailored to an area where the homes were developed in 1965. We feel it fits well with the
character of the neighborhood, Mr.
Wheeler said. You couldnt build this in
the Village.
The students, who had studied the blueprints of the house before their visit, had a
quick warning before traipsing inside.
Safety came first, considering amenities
like stair handrails are not yet in place.
This is sort of an autopsy. Were walking through the bones of the house, Mr.
Wheeler said. You can see the plumbing
system and then the neurological or electrical system.
As the students entered the ground floor
of the house, he discussed how the foundation was poured and then secured with
steel bolts.
Mr. Wheeler pointed out the hoses attached to the in-construction bathroom and
kitchen island, which he noted are colorcoded red or hot water, blue for cold.
He then indicated the various living areas, including
a living room, dining area, kitchen, bathroom and office. There was also a small suite Mr. Wheeler deemed
perfect for a grandparent or a teenager who isnt getting along with their parents.
Like Mr. Wheeler, Mr. Wootten is a graduate of
CHS and, took drafting there. His experience includes
having worked as project manager for Wheeler &
Wheeler a number of years ago. He is now owner of
Wootton and Hardyman Architecture.
Junior Spencer Sharp says Mr. Woottens resume
adds credibility to his lessons. Hes a great teacher.
He really knows what hes talking abouthes very
knowledgeable in his field. And hes always there if
you need him, he said.
Spencer is studying to become a landscape architect, and is already getting on-site experience through
his uncles company, Soltis Landscape, in Upland. He
works there part-time and is also creating his own
portfolio of hand-drawn architectural renderings.
Hes enrolled in another class aimed at helping him
with his professional aspirations, AP environmental
science. The water-wise aspect of landscaping is very
important now, he explained.
Spencer was further educated on the art and science

COURIERphotos/Steven Felschundneff
During the tour of a new residential construction in Towne Ranch, the drafting students from Claremont High
School got to ask architect Paul Wheeler questions about how a home is put together.

A class of CHS drafting students toured this home recently to learn what is involved in constructing a home
from plans to finished product. The plan is to bring the
students back to the residence once it is finished.

of building as Mr. Wheeler enumerated the many requirements and restrictions faced by homebuilders
nowadays.
A house can be no larger than 35 percent of the lot,
for instance. More insulation is required than in the
past, and you can no longer build wood-burning fireplaces. As a result, the houses two fireplacesone
downstairs and another installed on the balcony outside the master bedroom suiteare gas-heating. The
electric lighting will be of the LED ilk, which Mr.
Wheeler said sips power rather than guzzling it.
He then went on to describe the owners conception
of who might buy the house, a vision that helped direct
its design. It would likely be a family headed by two
professionals, with a couple of children and perhaps a
grandparent living in the home. Many of the prospective buyers in Claremont are now Chinese, so there is
also a specially-ventilated wok room, separate from
the kitchen, to appeal to that demographic.
Once upstairs, the students took in a master bedroom abutted by a bathroom and an enormous walk-in
closet. You ladies could get in the MasterCard Hall of
Fame with this closet, Mr. Wheeler joked.

One lady on hand, Anna Aguilar, project manager for Wheeler & Wheeler,
spends more time designing closets than
filling them. She got interested in architecture back in high school.
When I had to pick a biography and
write about it, and I picked one on Frank
Lloyd Wright. I dont know what made
me choose it, she said.
Ms. Aguilar went onto earn an architecture degree from Woodbury University.
You never know whats going to build
inspiration, she said. I grew up in East
LA. No one in my family had a background in building. They didnt really
know what architecture was.
Ms. Aguilar, who has two daughters,
21 and 18, noted that there are more
women in the field now. One young
woman enjoying the tour was CHS senior Jennifer
Farias, who plans to attend FIDM and major in interior
design after she graduates.
Im learning a bit about architecture, which will
help me in what I want to do, she said. Seeing the
house was cool. I like seeing the blueprints, and then
seeing them coming to life.
Mr. Wheeler said he offered to host the build-site
tour because hes just down the street and, as a CHS
success story, he feels Youve got to give a little payback.
There is a great deal of opportunity for students with
architectural knowledge, right here in the City of
Trees.
Some people might think Claremont is built out,
but weve got to rebuild everything, Mr. Wheeler
said. Weve got to make houses stronger for earthquakes and keep them from leaking energy.
Mr. Wootten said he emphasizes to his students that
they can begin building a viable career path right now.
I keep coaching them, saying everything you do
here you can show to an architect, and maybe get hired.
Everything you learn is going to be in your toolbag.

A new stage of coming together

by John Pixley

It takes a Village. It really does.


It not only took the Claremont Community Foundation, the Claremont Village Marketing Group, the
Claremont Chamber of Commerce and Wheeler &
Wheeler Architects, as well as RKA Consulting
Group, MC Alyea Construction, Holliday Rock, STL
Landscaping and Anglemyer Crane Rentals.
It also took Joan Bunte, the Burgis Family (Laura,
Rick, Elizabeth and Riley), Bridget Healy and Sonia
Stump and Bob Fagg, in addition to Bardot Restaurant, Hendricks Pharmacy and Walters Restaurant.
And also the city of Claremont, Claremont Kiwanis,
Claremont Noon Rotary and Claremont Sunrise Rotary.
It has taken all these people. It has taken all these
businesses and merchants. It has taken all these organizations and clubs. And it has taken many others.
This is evident in the names etched in the bricks that
line the new Claremont Lincoln University Community Performance Stage in Shelton Park. The bricks
will be a reminder, an eternal reminder for generations
to come, that this park and its new outdoor stage in the
Village really was the work of the communitythat it
really did take a village.
It was also evident two Saturdays ago when Diana
Miller said it at the dedication ceremony for the stage.
It takes a village wasnt just a famous quote that Ms.
Miller, the co-founder of the Claremont Village Marketing Group who headed the committee that steered
this project, tossed off in her comments kicking off the
afternoon. Indeed, as she pointed out, for Ms. Miller
and her fellow committee members, it was the end of
almost five years of seeing people, businesses and
other entities come together for this project, making
this idea, this vision, a reality.
The resulting reality that afternoon was a thing of
beauty, with the community coming together to celebrate its achievement. The chilly weather and the
threat of rain didnt stop the celebration, with a
bustling and excited crowd. It was a true gathering,
faithful despite the cold, gray skies, with people greeting each other again and enjoying snacks provided at
least in part by Bardot Restaurant.
It was a thing of beauty to see Ms. Miller speak,
capping the effort and thanking the many people involved and handing out commemorative bricks to
them and having them cut a ribbon and unveil plaques.
In addition, she had junior high school boys and girls
from El Roble come up and plant flowers flanking the
stagea thing of beauty, if not a miracle, indeed!
She was assisted by Randy Lopez, who has become

Ophelias Jump, Inland Valley Repetory Company and
the El Roble Orchestra, breaking in and blessing the
new stage.
It was also a thing of beauty to see that the colleges
have been integral in the building of the stage. One of
the plaques unveiled on the faade names Claremont
Lincoln University. It was noted that, as new as the
school is, it is most eager to be involved in the community. Pomona College also had a hand, as did Claremont McKenna College and Scripps College.
In a place like Claremont, town-gown is very
much a part of the vocabulary, practically an everyday
phrase. This is all the more so in this college town, with
there being five undergraduate colleges and four graduate schools here. Indeed, town-gown is more than an
everyday phrase in Claremont; it is a core value or at
least a core ideal. From the time I was growing up here,
I remember talk of the town-gown relationshiphow
to maintain it, how to make it better.
With the new community performance stage,
town-gown is more than a phrase and more than a
central value and ideal. It is reality. This is truly a
town-gown endeavor.
In the same way it makes it takes a village more
than a famous quote. Thats what was being celebrated
at Shelton Park. This coming together to make the
stage and new park a reality, with it taking a village
and town-gown cooperation, was something beautiful
to see, something definitely worth celebrating.
Whats more, the results of this beautiful coming togetherthe stage and the renovated Shelton Park
are also a thing of beauty. This cooperation and
working together made a piece of art.
The CLU Community Performance Stage is handsome in a clean, simple way. It reminds me of Shaker
furniture or perhaps an Eames chair, with its stark,
bold lines in red brick and dark wood beams against a
white adobe-like backdrop. This blends in quite nicely
with the surrounding Mediteranean greenery, not remarkably lush and not drawing too much attention to
itself.
It could be said that it draws attention in not draw-

ing attention to itself. The focus is to be the performances on it as well as its naturally beautiful setting.
Like Shaker furniture and an Eames chair, and also a
Greene and Greene house, the stage is beautiful in its
lovely simplicity and functionality.
To accommodate the stage, Shelton Park has been
more or less redone and, to boot, arguably improved.
Some may lament that this more informal, in-therough park has been prettified, with plantings here and
there and a prim, artfully meandering path. But this is
no tame rose garden. There is still plenty of the wild
left, at least enough for the town center. A bit like with
the Woods, the beloved wild grove of trees which
used to be where Pomona Colleges Hahn building
now is two blocks north. The accommodation not only
didnt ruin the site but is also beautiful in its resulting
creation. (Do people now mourn the Woods, much
less remember them?)
Another beautiful thing about the park now, as was
pointed out at the dedication, is that its a model of
sustainability. The area of lawn has been halved, limited to an inviting circle at the lots center, beckoning
an audience for a performance. The circle is lined with
the neat yet organic dirt path, which, in turn, is bordered by a good number of the trees previously in the
space and also drought-tolerant plant groupings and
rock settings.
Notably, John Fishers huge sculpture, Simple
Gifts, has been moved to the north, now in almost its
own alcove. The creation of the sculpture some 20
years ago, with the artist hammering and chipping
away at the massive block of marble from Italy onsite
and inviting passerby to include their hand-prints in
the work, was, like the addition of the stage, an exciting event, drawing the community together.
As Ms. Miller mentioned, moving the sculpture was
almost as thrilling, involving a giant crane. It may
have been put aside, but its certainly not forgotten;
rather, its just one artwork in a park celebrating the
different arts as well as the art of nature.
Thats what this park is for. There is no playground
equipment, but there are benches and tables. This is a
nice place to take a break on a busy day to read a bit or
chat with a friend, as Ive done and seen in these last
couple weeks, as well as enjoy live music and other
performances. Im looking forward to it being used
frequently and regularly, including (and not only) as a
Friday Night Live venue. That will be a whole lot
nicer than hanging out on the sidewalk to catch a
band.
DEMYSTIFYING SUSTAINABILITY/page 8

Claremont COURIER/Friday, January 22, 2016

The United Nations is for all

ast year, virtually all the


worlds leaders came together around two
United Nations (UN) initiatives
for the 21st Century: Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs) and a Paris Climate
Agreement.

These two agreements pledged the


United States and over 190 other countries to work through the UN for the benefit of all people on earth.
Pomona Valleys local United Nations
Association will discuss these and other
international issues at the annual meeting
and potluck on Sunday, January 24 from
5 to 7 p.m. in Decker Hall at Pilgrim
Place, 665 Avery Rd. in Claremont. UN
author John Moore will speak on The
UN: An Update for the New Year. The
gathering is free and open to the public.

Naming names again


Dear Editor:
I was surprised to read the Editor's
note in response to Sarah Barnes letter
concerning the possibility of allowing
some folks to remain anonymous in your
reporting. You stated the need to be
steadfast on our policies or the exceptions become the norm and the need to
treat everyone the same.
I distinctly remember several years
ago exchanging emails with you after the
COURIER chose to publish an anonymous Viewpoint that was critical of
Claremont teachers.
I questioned why you would publish
this anonymously. You expressed concern for this person that Oftentimes
when one speaks out about an issue that
is generally supported by community
leaders, he or she will suffer greatly.
Despite your current protestations,

VIEWPOINT

Building on the 2000 to 2015 UN Millennium Development Goals, the SDGs


(also known as the 2030 Global Goals)
address common needs to improve the
lives of people in both rich and poor countries through seventeen goals addressing
poverty, food, health, education, women,
water, energy, economy, infrastructure, inequality, housing, consumption, climate,
oceans, terrestrial ecosystems, institutions
and sustainability. Broad citizen input
contributed to framing the goals.
Between 2016 and 2030, 169 separate
and measurable targets within the goals
will gauge progress, transparency and accountability in bettering life around the
globe.
Similarly, the UN Paris Climate Deal
signed in France last month has world-

wide impact as nearly 200 countries (including the US, China, India and other
major polluters) pledged to take action
and be accountable for keeping temperature rises below the potential tipping
point of 1.5C. Additional agreements include to cut or curb domestic emissions,
bring global emissions down from peak
levels, take stock and revise goals every
five years, establish a mechanism to address the financial losses in more vulnerable countries and to help developing
countries adapt to climate change and
transition to clean energy.
Corporations, scientists, nonprofits and
governments were at the table. Many previous UN climate deals had fallen apart,
so many observers were encouraged by
this agreement.
The challenges are real. In a world
where poverty, corruption and desperation
fuel extremism and wars, the stakes are
high. Human rights are notoriously diffi-

[Editors note: The Viewpoint referenced


here was published in 2010. Our policy,
which weve upheld since that time, is to
not publish anonymous letters. Naming
those arrested and protecting an anonymous letter-writer are not an equal comparison in my perspective. But, I agree that
anonymous letters are a bad idea. One
drawback to working in newspapers is that
when you make a mistake at work, it lives
in print for eternity. I apologize for printing
the anonymous letter. KD]

A Claremont station

Dear Editor:
The city sold land on Base Line Road
to allow the building of high-density
housing tracts. Some of that land could
have been used to build a new police facility. Obviously, its too late for that, and
some of the profit from the land sale was
probably wasted on funding last Novembers disastrous ballot and perhaps
other projects we can ill afford.
One wonders how much of that
money, if any, has been saved to pur-

cult to enforce; women are still treated unequally; food, education and health are not
available to many; water shortages and
sanitation issues are too common; fossil
fuel is still dominant in the energy mix;
inequality holds back opportunity here
and elsewhere; and many governments
are still unresponsive.
Reaching agreements is not the same as
final solutions, so we all reserve judgment
as our country and other countries work
toward the goals. But the UN provided the
vital forum for world leaders to face the
challenges and work out the specific language before the votes were taken in New
York and Paris.
The UN Global Goals and Climate
Deal are critical first steps. By staying informed and pressing our political, corporate and nonprofit leaders to keep making
progress, we can contribute to a better
world for all. I hope you will join us and
do your part.
chase land elsewhere in the city to reduce
taxpayer costs of a new facility or if it
has all been squandered. And will any of
the profit from the additional local taxes
the city will collect from the new housing tracts be earmarked for a new station
or will we all be socked with the full
price of an approved facility?
I fully agree with many others who advocate a functional, not glamorous police station. We are not in competition
with Montclair that had sales tax money
to build their attractive station on a
prominent street corner.

Claremont

Claremont COURIER/Friday, January 22, 2016

Report from Paris:

A Claremonter at the Climate Change Conference


by Ted Trzyna

ry to imagine the US Army patrolling Claremonts Village Venture. I saw something like that in
Paris in early December. Groups of
French Army soldiers in battle dress, submachine guns held ready for combat,
walked through the traditional Christmas
market along both sides of the Avenue des
Champs-lyses.

Police, gendarmes and troops were posted throughout the city center, especially in places regarded as
terrorist targets, sometimes in surprising ways. At the
Museum of Jewish Art and History, I certainly expected a police presence, but found gun-toting soldiers not only along the street but in the museum
itself.
I was in Paris for the United Nations Climate
Change Conference, one of 45,000 people from more
than 200 countries who were accredited to the diplomatic area of the conference where the negotiations
were held. I was only an observer, but had access to

Demystifying
SUSTAINABILITY
the plenary sessions as well as hundreds of side
events and exhibits.
The conference was a success. However, when the
agreement was approved on December 12, I couldnt
help thinking there was an elephant in the room, a really big elephant in the huge meeting hall, something
everyone present was aware of but few were willing
to talk about openly: corruption.
The agreement calls for many billions of dollars to
be given to poor countries to help them cope with climate change. Many of the poorest countries are also
among the most corrupt. Will their governments use
this money to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, protect forests that absorb carbon dioxide, and adapt to
the effects of climate change, or will it end up in the
pockets of the elite?
The agreement provides for a certain degree of reporting and verification, but more is needed, ideally
along the lines of the inspections carried out by the
International Atomic Energy Agency.
Although California didnt have a vote at the conference, Governor Jerry Brown addressed the plenary

and it was clear that our states pioneering role in coping with climate change was widely appreciated. I
was with Governor Brown and former Governor
Arnold Schwarzenegger at a private reception midway in the proceedings.
Among friends and allies, they didnt try to contain
their excitement. Realizing how much our state is
making a difference made me proud to be a Californianand glad that our town has taken a leadership
role. Residents and Claremont city staff have taken
threats to our environment seriously through programs like the Claremont Home Energy Retrofit Project (CHERP) and through Sustainable Claremonts
participation in such efforts as the Energy Champions
program, the Cool California Challenge and the
Georgetown University Energy Prize (here the Claremont Energy Challenge) competition; and in teaching
and research at the Claremont Colleges.

Sydney Blanton

OBITUARIES

Entrepreneur, loving mother and friend


Sydney Lynn Blanton, a longtime
Claremont resident and owner of the
Village clothing boutique Amelie, died
at home on January 6, 2016, surrounded by family. She was 55.
She was born in San Luis Obispo
County on September 8, 1960. Her
family moved to Covina when she was
10 years old and she attended schools
in the Covina school district, graduating from Royal Oak High School in
1978. She studied at Cal State Fullerton
and later at Mt. San Antonio College.
Ms. Blantons early career was spent
working as an advertising rep for Inland Empire magazine, San Gabriel
Valley Newspaper Group, HarteHanks, Advo and then the Media Networks division of Time Inc.
After her tenure at Time, she pursued
her dream of operating a womens contemporary clothing store, which she
managed in her adopted town of Claremont from 2002 until her passing. She
and her husband Michael met in an office they both worked in and celebrated
their 22nd wedding anniversary this
past October. Their daughter Emily was
born in 1994.
Faith Ratner first met Sydney 30
years ago when she was applying for a
job at Inland Empire magazine. She
was encouraged to phone Ms. Blanton,
who was working there. The call ended
up lasting three hours.
She was really engaging and lively

and a beautiful soul inside and out. Her


happiness with life just overflowed, and
you immediately felt like youd known
her for an eternity, Ms. Ratner said.
The fast friends were colleagues at
the magazine for a time and later
worked together at the San Gabriel Valley Tribune, where they served as automotive advertising account executives.
They spent a great deal of time together
and shared a memorable trip to France
and Switzerland in 1992.
Ms. Ratner wasnt surprised when
Ms. Blanton left media to open a clothing shop. She always was somebody

Brian Ofstedahl and Ruben Lopez


count themselves among those fortunate enough to have been friends with
Ms. Blanton. They met her through her
husband Michael almost 10 years ago.
Through the years, the couples loved to
talk over long dinners, often prepared at
home. Ms. Blanton and Mr. Lopezs
bond was cemented over a shared love
of strolling through flea markets.
Sydney was a remarkable example
of courage, loyalty, friendship and family, Mr. Lopez shared. Her love and
generosity will always be an inspiration
for us.
While she is deeply saddened by the
loss, close friend Kathy Woodbury will
try to take comfort in Ms. Blantons
lasting impression.
Syd lived in the present. Being
around her was infectious, because she
never took life for granted, she said.
Her beauty, intelligence, wit and unconditional presence will be with me
always.
She is survived by her husband
Michael, daughter Emily and her sister
and brother-in-law Alysia and Roger
Dinneen.
A memorial service will be held Saturday, January 30 at 11 a.m. in the
Kingman Chapel at Claremont United
Church of Christ, 233 W. Harrison Ave.
in Claremont. In lieu of flowers, the
family requests that donations be made
to the American Cancer Society.

Donald H. Zenger

Jean Cobb
Jean Cobb died on January 13, 2016.
She was 90.
A Celebration of Life will be held on
Sunday, February 7 at 3 p.m. in Decker
Hall at Pilgrim Place.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that donations be made to the
Employee Christmas Fund at Pilgrim

who dressed impeccably and looked


like a million bucks all the time, no
matter what she had on, she said.
Jenny Chabolla joined the staff of
Amelie in 2008 and treasures the years
she spent working with Ms. Blanton.
Sydney was always very positive
and she really just made it a fun place
to work, she said. All the girls who
worked there were able to form special
relationships with Sydney and with
each other. It was very much a family
atmosphere.
Ms. Chabolla has learned much from
her employer. There were reasons for
every decision she madewhy she
advertised in this magazine, why she
did a certain window display, the way
she merchandised the store, she said.
She was really smart about all of those
things.
Ms. Blanton was ill for some time,
but made a point of focusing on the
shop and its customers when she was
on the job. As a result, many people
have been shocked to learn shes gone.
A lot of people are definitely feeling
the loss, Ms. Chabolla said. Even
people from our neighboring stores
have come in with flowers and cards.
Were really going to miss her and her
part in the community.
Sydneys passions in life included
cooking, entertaining and keeping up
with current trends, most notably in the
fashion industry.

Sumner Elementary teacher receives grant to purchase classroom book series


Jessica Conner, a first-year teacher at Sumner Elementary School, received a Beverly Brennan New
Teacher Grant given by Baldy View Division 61 of the
California Retired Teachers Association.
Ms. Conner plans to use her grant to purchase a
class set of Storyworks, a series of books that provides high-interest stories coupled with excellent writing activities and contests students can enter.
Sumner Principal Kristin Robinson brought Laurentine Gates, chair of the Baldy View CalRTA Scholarship and Grants Committee, to the classroom to
present the check. When Ms. Gates was ready to leave
the classroom, she was given a thank-you card signed
by all the students in Ms. Conners fourth-fifth grade
combination class.
Baldy View Division 61 covers 11 school districts
from Claremont to the west, Etiwanda to the east and
Chino to the south. Five grants were awarded this year
to new teachers in neighboring districts.
The Retired Teachers Association has awarded six
scholarships each year to transferring community college students aspiring to become teachers but only recently began giving grants to new teachers,
remembering how they themselves purchased supplies
to supplement their own classroom activities.

Claremont book event organizers seek reading lists


Following last years Claremont Community Foundation Party Parade event, For the Love of Books 6
will take placeSunday, March 13. As with previous

FTLOB gatherings, the focus of the event will be to


bring together book-lovers, book group members and
anyone interested in building community through
shared reading experiences.
Held at Mt. San Antonio Gardens, the gathering will
feature a talk by David Ulin, book critic of the Los Angeles Times and author of Sidewalking: Coming to
Terms with Los Angeles.
In 2015, the For the Love of Books Committee
gathered information from 32 Claremont-area groups
about what they had read the previous year. Once
again, the committee is soliciting lists of the titles of
books recently read by groups in the community.
The 2016 list will be distributed at the March event
and will also be available for general distribution later
in the spring. Reservations for the event may be made
the first week of February at www.claremontfoundation.org or by calling the Claremont Community Foundation office at (909) 398-1060.
Book groups are invited to send details about what
they are reading to Diane Schuster at dt.schuster@verizon.net. Deadline for submissions is January 25.

Claremont boys soccer loses


match in rough league play
between rugby and wrestling.
soccer game between two wellEven veteran coach Fred Bruce-Oliver remarked
matched teams is going to be
that it was more like a tackle football game. Twice the
physical. But last Thursdays boys boys got into shoving matches, resulting in plenty of
yellow cards and even a red card for the Brahmas
varsity match in Claremont resembled a
Tony di Donato. In the end, Diamond Bar defeated the
completely different sportsomething
Pack, 2-1.

ATLEFT: Claremont senior Thomas Beck heads the


ball as he collides with Diamond Bar senior Anthony Vasquez on Thursday at CHS. The Brahmas
were able to outlast the Pack, 2-1 and are the only
undefeated team in league play.

When you are playing a game where both teams


are contenders for the title [physical play] is going to
happen. Last year we tied them and beat them. Here,
they were amped, Coach Bruce-Oliver said.
Amped is a valid description of both teams performances, as there really was no clear advantage as far as
control over the ball or shots on goal.
The Brahmas went on the board first when Connor
Donohue caught goalkeeper Nathan Armas out of position and hit the left side of the net.
The Pack answered back with a goal less than 3.5
minutes later. Sophomore Ben Lynch drove a flawless
header past the keeper on an equally nice throw-in
from sophomore Justin Tinajero.
At the 70-minute mark, Claremont fouled Mohamad
Abboushi about 20 yards in front of the Packs goal,
which resulted in both teams squaring off with plenty
of shouting and shoving on both sides. The referee
tried to restore civility but Diamond Bars di Donato
crossed the line, earning a red card and an ejection
from the game.
Abboushi lined up his free kick and sent it sailing
over a line of Claremont defenders and the goalie,
earning Diamond Bar their game-winning goal.
Claremont had a few heartbreaking chances to get
back in the game, including a break-away shot by senior Patrick Luevano that beat the keeper but hit the goal
post.

CHS girls waterpolo crush Glendora in 16-6 win

t wasnt supposed to be a blowout


victory when the Claremont girls
water polo team hosted Glendora on
Tuesday. But somehow it turned out that
way.
The Pack scored three times in the opening two
minutes and made the Tartans wait until the second
quarter to even get on the board as Claremont sailed to
a 16-6 Palomares League victory.
Claremont led 6-0 at the end of the
SPORTING
first quarter and it looked like it was
LIFE
going to be a long night for the Tartans. But Glendora fought back and scored the first
two goals of the second quarter, bringing the score to
7-3.
Claremont regained momentum and didnt let another goal pass, ending the half up 9-3.
In the second half, the Pack maintained at least a sixpoint lead, ending the third at 13-5. CHS only allowed
the Tartans one final goal, but tacked three onto their
own tally. In all, six girls scored and three drove the
offense with multiple goals by sophomores Lauren

BOYSSOCCER/continued from previous page

Nature of the game, said Coach Bruce-Oliver following the match. It is a truism in soccer: both teams
will get chances but its the team that puts the chances
away that will win. And they did.
The longtime coach is looking forward to the remainder of the season.
We had talked about how we need to win all of our
home games and win a few away but we dropped a
home game, which is not good, he said. We have to
hope we get the results all the way until we meet them
again.
The Brahmas followed up by defeating Bonita 4-2
on Tuesday and are in first place in the Palomares
League with a 4-0 record.
The Pack also scored a victory on Tuesday, defeating Glendora 1-0 and bringing their record to 3-1,
which is good enough for second place. Bonita is in
third place with a 2-2 record. Steven Felschundneff

BRIDGES HALL OF MUSIC:

Northern soul takes the Motown/Stax ethic but adds


a stronger back-beat with more adventurous production, and The Inciters continue this tradition in grand
style on their latest album Soul Clap.
With 11 members wielding drums, bass and guitars,
a full horn section and four female vocalists, The Inciters have no problem filling a room with the powerful sound of soul. The vocalists lead the band through
finely crafted original songs as well as traditional soul
music that inspires guests to get up and dance.
The Inciters first formed back in 1995 and had a
successful 10-year run before breaking up, leaving behind a massive following in Europe that demanded
their return. In 2009, they got their wish as original
member and bandleader Rick Kendrick went to work
putting the band back together. The Inciters reformed
with some new, younger faces and picked up right
where they left off, rembarking on another successful
European tour. Most recently they completed a European tour in summer 2015 and plan to return this year.
Catch The Inciters at The Press on Saturday,
January 23 at 10 p.m. 129 Harvard Ave., Claremont.

Claremont Heritage to showcase John Fassbinder art

ohn Fassbinders pottery


is notable for its sensitive
color and exquisite design.
His interest in painting has
made his ceramic work elegantly distinctive in that it is
at once totally utilitarian and
aesthetically commanding.
Curated by Claremont Heritage Director David Shearer, the exhibition
Earth + Sky will feature ceramics and
paintings from over four decades of
work and from several private collections. A number of pieces will also be
available for sale.
John Fassbinder, who died in 2014,
was born on August 6, 1931 in Washington State to Mark and Martha Fassbinder. He earned his bachelors degree
in art at the University of Washington
in Seattle where he studied with Robert
Sperry and Paul Bonifas, pioneers in
the American Studio Craft movement.
Mr. Fassbinder earned his MFA in
ceramics at Claremont Graduate
School in 1960. He taught at Central
Washington College and then, in 1963,
was hired as an art instructor at
Chouinard Art School. There, he
taught ceramics, drawing and painting
and served as assistant chairman of the
ceramics department.
Next, Mr. Fassbinder was hired at

Pomona College where he taught for 11


years. His courses included ceramics
and drawing and, later, the colleges
first computer graphics classes. He also
taught at Scripps College and was a
part-time faculty member at Citrus
Community College for several years.
Mr. Fassbinder was also a working
artist. Known for his beautiful and original ceramics, he rented a studio on
Baseline Road in Claremont. Working
with traditional materials and techniques, he fashioned works of art that
were elegantly distinctive and utilitar-

COURIER CROSSWORD

ian. He found inspiration in nature.


He turned out a never-ending array
of housewares like vases, jugs, goblets, plates and pitchers, all imprinted
with his signature. He favored vivid
glazes and decorations both abstract
and figurative. A prime example of his
worka stoneware platter emblazoned with a fiery iron-oxide sun rising over a cobalt-glazed oceanis
represented in the permanent collection of the American Museum of Ceramic Art in Pomona.
Mr. Fassbinders works were carried

by the Claremont gift shop Raku,


which under the original ownership of
Mt. SAC ceramics teacher Jerry Martin
was a rich source of local ceramics.
His wife Gretchen, who herself made
beautiful cloisonn jewelry, was also
featured at Raku.
He was very supportive of other
artists, Mrs. Fassbinder said.
Mr. Fassbinders renown was not
confined to Claremont. His numerous
exhibits won awards throughout the
United States and his work was often
highlighted in the magazine Ceramics
Monthly. His work has appeared in private galleries and major museums, including New Yorks Museum of Arts
and Design (formerly the Museum of
Contemporary Crafts), The Seattle Art
Museum, The Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Pasadena Art Museum. Locally, he exhibited at the
galleries of Scripps and Pomona Colleges along with ceramic artists like
Aldo Casanova, Paul Darrow and Paul
Soldner. His work is in the collection of
the Claremont Museum of Art as well
as at AMOCA.
Earth + Sky is on exhibit through
January 29, Monday through Friday
from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. or by appointment at the Garner House Ginger Elliott Exhibition Center in Memorial
Park, located at 840 N. Indian Hill

Harry Potter theme will be played at free concert


here will be musical
wizardry when the
Claremont Symphony
Orchestra (CSO) presents its
annual Concert for Young People on Saturday, January 23 at
10:30 a.m.

CSO members will be joined by


members of the Claremont Youth Symphony Orchestra (CYSO) in a program
that includes Hedwigs Theme,
which was composed by John Williams

for the Harry Potter films.


Mr. Williams is a superstar when it
comes to writing movie music, including the memorable scores to Superman,
E.T., Jaws and the Indiana Jones and
Star Wars movies.
I remember first hearing Hedwigs
theme, Harry Potter producer David
Heyman said in a TV interview. It was
so clear that this was itmajestic and
magical.
Along with that owlish composition,
the orchestra will play the first movement of Franz Schuberts Symphony No.

8. Two teenaged soloists, winners of the


annual CYSO Concerto Competition,
will also take the stage.
Anselm Knecht, a freshman at Redlands High Schoo, will perform Camille
Saint-Sans Allegro Appasionato on
cello. Violinist Jo Ann Sunn will perform the first movement of Henryk
Wieniawskis Violin Concerto No. 2 in
D minor.
The concert, which is free, will be held
in Bridges Hall of Music on the Pomona
College campus, located at 150 E.
Fourth St. in Claremont.

In England, for instance, an apartment is called a flat and, to get there,


you take a lift instead of an elevator. Is
there a baby living in the flat? Their
crib is called a cot, their stroller is called
a pram, their pacifier is called a dummy
and their diapers are called nappies.
Here is an American-English to

Cathedral skate park will make you say holy moly!

ou probably know
someone who loves
skateboarding so much
that, for them, its almost a religion. But did you know
theres is a skate park located
inside a cathedral in Spain?

The church was designed by Spanish


architect Manuel del Busto and built in
1913. It had been abandoned in the
1930s, though, and until recently was
crumbling and in danger of being demolished. Then, a group of people called
The Church Brigade bought the building.
"I passed by it and felt sad when I saw
it in those circumstances, a space unused, skater and Church Brigade member Ernesto Fernando told Fox News
Latino. I wanted to rescue it and give it
a use, and the first thing that came to
mind was a skateboard ramp.
The Church Brigade worked to create
a unique skate park, called Kaos Temple,
inside of the chapel. The project was paid
for through a sponsorship by Red Bull

Photos courtesy of La Iglesia Skate

plus money donated online by tons of


people who thought it was a cool idea.
They installed a nearly 30-foot ramp in
the church and got street artist Okuda
San Miguel to paint the chapel from floor
to ceiling. It took seven days and an
enormous amount of spray paint for

Okuda to decorate the cathedral with a


kaleidoscope of rainbow-colored shapes
and figures. These include images of a
man, a woman, a gorilla, a bear, an owl,
ravens and a human skull.
The artist was hoisted up pretty high
during the project, but he wasnt afraid.

Being in a crane with my music, I feel


like Im the most free in the world, he
said in a video interview. Im there in
my cloud. Its incredible.
The Kaos Temple opened this past December. Spanish professional skater
Danny Leon was the first skater to break
in the ramp. Its already become a destination for skaters and people who love
contemporary art.
It brings a whole new meaning to the
phrase, Lets go to church.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are
considering bidding on this property lien, you should
understand that there are risks involved in bidding at
a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not
on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a
trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to
free and clear ownership of the property. You should
also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may
be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the
auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off
all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before
you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and
size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorders office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge
you a fee for this information. If you consult either of
these resources, you should be aware that the same
lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of
trust on this property.
NOTICE OF TRUSTEES SALE
Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to
bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that
at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less
than the total debt
NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale
date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section
2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the
public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.
If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been
postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time
and date for the sale of this property, you may call

Information about postponements that are very
short in duration or that occur close in time to the
scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in
the telephone information or on the Internet Web

your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within

The recent sale of our Claremont home presented some very


unique challenges. Carlos and Pat handled my former home
as if it were their own. They kept me informed,
responded with professionalism and reassurance, and made
sure that as their customers, my ex-husband and I were their
top priority. The house ended up selling for higher than
asking price. I recommend Carlos and Pat Samuelson with
complete confidence and a heart full of gratitude.
