Police station funding
Dear Editor:
I am pleased the COURIER is covering the meetings of the citys ad hoc
committee on the police station in some
detail, but I am concerned that an important distinction between general obligation (GO) bonds and a parcel tax was not
clear in last weeks article on March 25.
As the article indicated, figures vary
depending on the amount borrowed, the
term chosen and the financing method
selected. Once the amount and the term
are specified, using a single figure to represent what a homeowner would pay
with a parcel tax is fair, since its the
same for each parcel.
A $200,000 home and a $2 million
home pay the same$183 annually to
borrow $30 million for 30 years. However, if the funding mechanism is a GO
bond, a homeowners payment would
vary with the value of the property, not
just with the size and term of the loan.
Saying the cost would be $205 annually on a $30 million bond as the
COURIER article does is misleading.
For a home valued at $200,000, the annual assessment would be about $78, but
for a $2 million home it would be about
$780 ($39 for each $100,000 in assessed
value). Saying a typical homeowner
would pay $205 annually hardly conveys
the same information.
The annual debt service cost also
varies with the funding mechanism, e.g.,
$1.65 million for a GO bond and $1.92
million for a parcel tax for $30 million
over 30 years, a difference of $270,000
in one year.
Keeping all these figures in mind is

clearly not easy, but failing to note significant differences can lead to misunderstandings and inappropriate decisions.

Support AB 1461
Dear Editor:
The League of Women Voters of California urges Governor Brown to sign AB
1461, the California New Motor Voter
Program sponsored by Secretary of State
Alex Padilla, and to require that automated voter registration at the DMV be
in place in time for the 2016 elections.
The LWV of California has been
working for full implementation of the
National Voter Registration Act (NVRA)
in state agencies including Covered California and, currently, at the Department
of Motor Vehicles. As a result of our efforts, the current years budget includes
funding for the DMV to implement online voter registration during drivers license transactions. The momentum to
implement an automated system must
not be lost.
We call on the governor to sign AB
1461 and issue an accompanying statement to ensure the DMV will implement
efficient, streamlined voter registration
before the June 2016 primary.
For many Californians, registering to
vote is a significant barrier to participation in our democracy. The League of
Women Voters stands firmly behind efforts to make registration easy and accessible to all eligible citizens.
California ranks 38th among the states
in voter registration, a dismal record that

Montclair fire causes damage, smoke-filled skies
three-alarm fire at a recycling center torched

a number of structures
and over 150 cars in Montclair
on Monday afternoon, sending
a plume of black smoke into
the air that could be seen region-wide.
The fire was first reported at approximately 1:53 p.m. at 4761 State Street
near Monte Vista Avenue, according to
Upland Fire Marshal Chris Hayes.
One woman was treated for smoke inhalation, according to Mr. Hayes.
Doug Hutchinson, who described himself as the landlord of a nearby apartment
complex, said the fire started at an industrial recycling center and jumped up the
eucalyptus trees toward the apartment
building and a nearby motel.
Jack Winfield, who lives at the apartment complex, and his wife evacuated
quickly. The roof was on fire, he said.
Mr. Hayes said the fire fully consumed
two residential structures and three
garages, with one residential structure
partially damaged.
Mr. Hayes noted that a residential strip
down the middle of the area was also affected by the blaze. In addition, at least
150 cars at a vehicle storage yard were
burned in the fire, he said.
Four trucks and 27 engines from
throughout the region responded to battle
the fire. Some came from as far as Redlands to help.
Heavy winds pushed the plume of
smoke eastward, and a fire helicopter
could be seen zig-zagging through the
smoke as first responders worked to contain the fire.
An investigation is ongoing.

Long search ends for community services director
fter nearly a year of

searching, Claremont
has found its new community services director.
Roger Bradley will be taking over the
job, according to a release from the city.
Mr. Bradley comes to Claremont from
Dublin in northern California, where he
served as the assistant to the city manager
for four years.
Im definitely excited to be [in Claremont], Mr. Bradley said.
Prior to becoming Dublins assistant to
the city manager, Mr. Bradley worked as
the head of the citys environmental services for four years, overseeing recycling,
waste management and tree infrastructure.
Im confident that Roger will work
well with our commissioners, staff and
residents. I anticipate great results from
this department in the future. I look forward to welcoming him to Claremont,
Claremont City Manager Tony Ramos
said in the statement.
Prior to working in Dublin, Mr.

Bradley served four years as a corporal in
the Marine Corps and lived for a time in
29 Palms and Camp Pendleton. Mr.
Bradley has a dual bachelors degree in
political science and statistics from
Brigham Young University and a masters
in public administration from USC.
Mr. Bradleys total pay and benefits
while working at the city of Dublin was
$183,289.65 as of 2014, according to
Transparent California.
Claremont Finance Director Adam Pirrie did not have an exact number for Mr.
Bradleys pay with Claremont, saying the
city hasnt received Mr. Bradleys paperwork yet. The Community Services Director gets a monthly salary of $10,873 to
$13,136 per month, according to Mr. Pirrie. Annually, that amounts to $130,476 to
$157,632.
Mr. Ramos noted that Mr. Bradley is
well-suited to tackle the many responsibilities of the job, which include overseeing administration, motor fleet, sanitation,
maintenance/landscape and Oak Park
Cemetery.
After lengthy discussion and numerous interviews and after an incredibly

long search, Roger is the right person at
the right time, Mr. Ramos said. Hell
provide a great service to the community
and be a great asset to the city.
According to the release, Mr. Bradley
negotiated solid waste contracts while at
Dublin, which netted about $800,000 in
revenue for the city. He also managed
Dublins Green Initiative task force of city
councilmembers and members of the
community to create a green plan for
the city.
Mr. Bradley went though a long vetting
process with city staff and members of the
community before getting the job, according to the release.
Mr. Bradleys appointment comes
nearly a year after former director Kathleen Trepa announced her departure to
take a job as the deputy city manager of
Goleta, near Santa Barbara. Since Ms.
Trepas May 2015 departure, former
Community Services Director Pat Malloy
served as interim director. In March 2016,
the city then named Dave Roger, a con-
sulting urban forester to the city from Inland Urban Forest Group, to the position
of interim community services director.
The position was originally eliminated
in 2010 during a painful bout of financial
strife within the city, and was merged with
the human services department with
Michele McNeill in charge. After Ms.
McNeill stepped down six months later,
the two departments were split once again
and the city hired Anne Turner to head the
human services department.
Mr. Bradley said hes excited about the
new opportunity, and wants to implement
an open-door policy to reach out to Claremonters.
The big thing is developing trust not
only with staff but with the community as
well, Mr. Bradley said. Its important to
me to be visible and approachable and
that the community knows they have
someone to come to.
Mr. Bradley will begin his job on April
24 and will be formally introduced at the
April 25 city council meeting.

City, tree proponents at odds on care of Heritage Elms
press release sent out

by the city on Wednesday regarding the loss
of the Heritage Elms on Indian
Hill is causing a stir among the
citys tree advocates.
The releasesent by Public Information Officer Bevin Handel and signed by
Interim Community Services Director
Dave Rogerfocuses on the replacement of 11 city trees that were taken out
due to a number of factors, including age
and effects from the drought. Mr. Roger
is a consulting urban forester from Inland Urban Forest Group, who the city
named interim community services director after the departure of Pat Malloy
last month.
Although the aging process and disease affecting the American elms cannot
be prevented or treated, the city has recently tackled issues within its control to
extend the life of these trees, the release
stated, noting that after an extensive
public education program to help maintain the trees, the trees health continued
to decline.
The watering outreach program included public education and direct resident contacts via door hangers and
letters, as well as a volunteer canvassing
program targeting properties with severely drought-stressed trees, the release said.
Mark von Wodtke, chairman of Sustainable Claremonts Tree Action Group,
tsaid the city needs to do better to save
its trees.
Bevin Handel put a pretty good spin
on this, as we pay information officers to
do, Mr. von Wodtke said. We are now
supposed to be placated and continue
along as complacent Claremont. It is difficult for me to be complacent about the

One of the giant old elms on Indian Hill Boulevard lies on its side after being felled
by workers on March 23. Some residents took exception to a recent notice where
the city claims the trees declined health was due to age and drought. After a concerted effort by residents to increase watering of city trees on private properties,
residents question whether the city made an equal effort to water the Heritage Elms.
POLICE BLOTTER
Tuesday, March 29
Claremont police arrested a transient
for robbery after he tried to get away
with goods from the Stater Bros. on
Foothill Boulevard and Towne Avenue.
Police responded around 7:45 a.m. after
50-year-old Ellis Magee allegedly tried
to steal beer, vodka and toothpaste, according to Lt. Mike Ciszek. An employee tried to stop Mr. Magee, which
led to a scuffle resulting in the employee
sustaining a cut on his wrist. Officers detained Mr. Magee, who was taken to
CPD jail. A records check revealed he
was on probation in LA County for possession of stolen property, and he was
placed on an automatic 10-day hold.
Wednesday, March 30
A Pomona woman was arrested for
public intoxication after allegedly causing a scene inside Casa 425. Police arrived to the hotel at about 11:30 p.m.
after 27-year-old Soo Park repeatedly accused employees of stealing her car keys.
Ms. Park ran to officers when they ar-
rived and made the accusation again. Police searched a white Honda Accord that
belonged to Ms. Park and found her car
keys inside. Ms. Park then told the officer someone stole her passport and wallet, both of which were found in her
purse. All the while, Ms. Park showed
signs of drunkenness. Before she could
drive off, officers arrested Ms. Park for
public intoxication and transported her to
jail to sober up.
Thursday, March 31
Five juveniles were arrested for firing
two Airsoft pellet guns in front of El
Roble Intermediate School at 1 p.m. The
students were detained after being seen
firing off the toy rifles during school
hours on consecutive days. Bullets from
the guns allegedly hit several students,
causing minor injuries on their skin. The
kids were brought in to CPD on charges
of discharging a firearm in a negligent
manner and were released with citations.
Saturday, April 2
A 61-year-old Pomona man was ar-
rested for grand theft auto after getting

pulled over in a car stolen out of San
Bernardino County. Officers contacted
Edgar Hunter just after 3 p.m. after a
check determined the Chevy Cavalier he
was driving was reported stolen on
March 4. Mr. Hunters passenger, 53year-old Collette Tannehill of Pomona,
was in possession of a meth pipe, according to Lt. Ciszek. Mr. Hunter was arrested for grand theft auto and Ms.
Tannehill was picked up for possession
of drug paraphernalia. She was released
with a written notice to appear, while Mr.
Hunter was held for bail/court.

A Claremont man was arrested after
allegedly punching and threatening a 17year-old girl with whom he had sexual
relations. A 21-year-old man allegedly
got into an altercation with the girl in
front of a house on the 400 block of Converse at around 8 p.m., hitting and kicking her. The suspect fled the scene,
leaving his wallet behind, and the victim
called the police. The man then returned
and threatened to kill the girl if she didnt return the wallet. The girl was taken
to Pomona Valley Medical Center for
loss of these Heritage Elms.

Last year, the city required many residents to regularly water distressed city
trees on their properties. Water hoses or
water bags paid for by the city were provided by volunteers, along with instructions on how frequently to water.
In September 2015, Interim Community Services Director Pat Malloy said
that 489 of the 688 trees deemed
stressed the year before had recovered
because of initiating use of the water
bags. At that time, 101 city trees were
deemed critical and 533 were identified
as severe. Mr. Malloy said in September
2015 that more would be done and that
the city would ask the council to do a
park tree assessment to identify and
make action plans for the city-owned
drought-stressed trees.
Theyve done the assessment, but
they havent really followed through to
make it happen, Mr. von Wodtke said.
I dont see the follow through, but Mr.
Roger has been trying to make it happen
the last few days.
Mr. von Wodtke went on to say that
Mr. Roger fully recognizes what needs
to be done, but that the city doesnt
have the staff or the budget to do it.
I think that needs to change, he said.
In October 2015, the Claremont City
Council approved an ordinance allowing
the city arborist to issue citations (with
fines up to $500 a day) to residents who
did not follow the watering schedule
handed down from city staff.
The city says this effort to save city
trees on homeowners properties was
successful. However, the requirements
for the city to water trees on public property was not clearly outlined through the
program.
Mr. Roger said the city elms were regularly watered last summer, but he could

unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor
and child abuse. He was transported to
CPD jail and transferred to the inmate reception center in Los Angeles where he
was held for bail/court.

The thief got away with a large number
of items in the car, including a $1,270

cash. Anyone with information is urged

CITY NEWS
Claremont business gives customers real taste of snow
s Claremont descends into summer, a new dessert shop is offering a refreshingly unique way to
beat the heat.
Snow Station, located at the site of the former Pie
Street at 1 N. Indian Hill Blvd., has opened just as
temperatures begin to rise. The shop isnt your run-ofthe-mill ice cream joint, according to Ray Malik, who
owns the shop with business partner Syed Rizvi.
Its not close to anything that we have here, Mr.
Malik, who also owned Pie Street, said. Its not yogurt, its not ice cream and its not Hawaiian shaved
ice. Its a whole new concept.
It is shaved snow, a light and fluffy concoction
that looks and feels like actual fallen snow. Mr. Malik
touts it as a healthier, low-calorie and more veganfriendly alternative to the usual cold dessert fare.
We have about eight flavors that are 100 percent
vegan, Mr. Malik said.
All flavors, from green apple to horchata, range
from 53 to 142 calories at the smallest size.
You dont feel guilty after eating our dessert, Mr.
Malik said. You dont have that guilt in you, like Oh
my god, what have I done.
The cups come in three different sizes: mini, baby
and hungry. Plates are also available for dine-in only,
and include such classics as banana split and strawberry shortcake.
Some of the specialty concoctions, Mr. Malik
noted, come from ideas brought forth by regular
Snow Station customers, including Brandons Breakfast, which is topped with fruity pebbles, granola and
bananas, and Choc-O-Razz, which is an eye-popping blend of chocolate and raspberry snow.
The Snow Station concept started in 2012, with the
first location opening in Orange County. The Claremont location, Mr. Malik notes, is the first Snow Station in the Inland Valley.
The product is kept in unbelievably frigid temperatures, as low as -40 degrees Fahrenheit, in order to
keep its snowy texture. The freezers have two layers
of doors to keep the cold from escaping.
Its like the glaciers in Alaska, Mr. Malik said.
From there, the snow is placed in special shaving
machines from Japan that quickly sprinkles the snow
into the waiting cup. Next come the toppings, which
include gummy worms, Oreos and chocolate chips.
If the customer is wanting a little more flavor in
their cup, drizzles such as white chocolate, caramel
and strawberry are also available to top things off.
The result is a light, creamy and fluffy creation that is
easy to eat without the residual guilt. It melts in your
mouth, Mr. Malik said.
Mr. Malik said he abandoned the concept of Pie
Street after sales werent up to what he initially envisioned.
Business ethics say, if after the first six months
you dont see a forward progress, you better take your
losses now than wait to take bigger losses later, he
said.
Mr. Malik also owns Tikka, a fast-casual Indian
restaurant next door. With the opening of Snow Station, Mr. Malik essentially has all based covered
lunch or dinner at Tikka and a mini cup from Snow
Station for dessert.
This concept is new and more refreshing, and a
new idea always works better, compared to an old
idea with a new twist, Mr. Malik said. So we decided it was better for us to update ourselves and get
people familiarized with this concept.
Mr. Malik acknowledged that the location could be
considered difficult to reach by some. To that end, he
recommends parking on Santa Fe Street, just below
the railroad tracks, for better access to his shop.
Its safe to say Snow Station is a winning concept.
According to Mr. Malik, their grand opening weekend
COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff

Ray Malik, co-owner of the newly-opened Snow Station, demonstrates how to augment his signature dessert
recently at the Village area business. Snow Station, which replaces Pie Street also owned by Mr. Malik and his
partner, makes low-calorie frozen deserts that come with toppings and drizzle.
Snow Station allows
customers
to chose
their own
combinations of flavors, in this
case green
apple snow
with strawberry boba
and
caramel
drizzle.
on April 2 and April 3 netted 1,700 people900 on

the first day and 800 on the second day. Some flavors,
like horchata, did better than Mr. Malik expected and
quickly sold out.
Mr. Malik, who also owns a Snow Station location
in Mission Viejo, plans to break into the LA market,
and ahs preliminary plans to open locations in Downtown LA, Westwood and Calabasas already in the
works.
Even when temperatures begin to cool and the seasons change, Mr. Malik is confident Snow Station
will make a lasting impression in Claremont.

This is more a summer product than anything
else, he said. But obviously, anyone with a sweet
tooth doesnt care about the weather.
Snow Station is located at 1 Indian Hill Blvd., Unit
105 in Claremont. Call them at (909) 962-8090 or

Sentimental journey
by Debbie Carini
y husband and I have embarked

on a little house-refreshing.
Were not really remodeling anything, just sprucing up after 20-odd years of
life well-lived in a nearly 100-year-old
housekind of like using face-lift tape to
smooth out the wrinkles instead of going
under the knife.
In the process of painting rooms and airing out closets,
Ive also had to confront another aspect of longtime inhabitance: the accumulation of stuff.
Other than writing this column and enjoying the limited (yet welcome) local celebrity that sometimes accompanies that role, I think my chances of becoming
famous and having a museum dedicated to my life are
slim and, yet, Ive been collecting, and hauling (across
the country twice!), enough detritus for the past 56 years
to fill a Presidential library.
As I go about my everyday life, its easy to forget that
there, under the bed, in a Rubbermaid storage container,
is the transistor radio I won in a church raffle in 1966 and
my autograph book from junior high (containing compliments such as, You made a great Little Red-Haired
Girl in the Charlie Brown play).
In a near-out-of-body experience, as I knelt before the
box of mementos, I asked myself, Why are you hanging onto this stuff?!
And yet, I know...I attach sentimental value to almost
everythingI can barely throw away a fortune from a
cookie (I have an idea about decoupaging them all on a
table topclever, right?) Inside the box, I also found a
plastic hobo hat that I wore for Halloween when I was
four. As I started to move it into the discard pile, I could
hear my dads voice, Thats probably worth some
money today! Thats what happens when you watch too
many episode of Antiques Roadshow.
In a garment bag, which probably hasnt been opened
The power of words
t the top of the pass in

Glacier National Park,
there are the requisite
ranger station, gift shop and
restrooms. Most visitors stop
there for a break because the
Going To The Sun Highway is
always nerve wracking.
But out back behind the station is a

trail most people miss or avoid. The trail
looks steep, and at 6600 feet elevation,
many folks already feel the lack of oxygen. Still, if you hike the trail you will
find yourself in an alpine meadow. The
colors of the flowers are bright yellows,
light pinks and purples. And while everything is wild here, nothing grows too tall.
Beauty in miniature.
The trail itself sits on stilts. You walk
above the meadow. The meadow is too
dangerous a place to walk. The meadow
isn't a danger to us. We are a danger to it.
The alpine flowers are so fragile that if
in 15 years, I found a two-piece suit that looked like

something Melanie Griffith wore in Working Girl, the
1988 saga of shoulder pads and high hair. Im pretty sure
Im never going to be a junior executive again, seeing
as how Im just around the corner from becoming a senior citizen.
And then theres all the stuff Ive saved from my childrenartwork, essays, commendations! And select very
cute outfits they wore, and the smallest pair of cowboy
boots youve ever seen. And, I have a hunch that box of
McDonalds Happy Meal toys is going to be worth
something, someday (thanks for that gene, Dad).
I tried to cull and edit and, yes, there will be a garage
sale. Do you need a cassette player, or a red and white
cheerleading sweater from a junior highEva D. Edwards that is now the site of a condo development?) But
most of it I just put back in the box, or the garment bag.
Someday my kids might be quite humored to open
these and find that their mom once twirled a baton (not
very well), and played the organ (by numbers) and wrote
impassioned poetry about butterflies and sisters (theyre
fine and something about them shines). Its the museum
of me and from time-to-time I still like to visit it.
by Mark Wiley, pastor at Claremont United Methodist Church
Inter-Faithfully SPEAKING
we were to step on one, it would not

grow back for 50 years! One misstep can
destroy generations of life.
Years ago, I was the dean of an elementary church camp. We had separated
the kids into family groupsone girl
cabin and one boy cabin. At one of the
family group sessions, we asked the kids
to share some words that hurt.
Once they discovered that the leaders
would not censure their words, the hurting words poured out. Each family group
easily had six poster-sized pages of words
that hurt. Not only were we overwhelmed
by the amount of hurt, but when we asked
the kids to give us words that healed, no
group filled more than one page.
In an age where Internet trolls can
say anything hurtful they choose to without much penalty, in an age when the
presidential debates sound more like
schoolyard fights, in an age where teens
often kill themselves in response to bullies, in an age where armed gunmen can
stand across the street from a mosque
and yell hate speech, in an age when
even international relations seems more
belligerent all the time, its time to go
back to the meadow.
We seem to have forgotten that words
can harm and hurt and even mortally
wound us in ways from which we never
fully recover. We are as fragile as an
alpine flower. Or maybe we havent forgotten at all. Maybe we think that if we
make someone hurt more than us, then it
will make us feel better.
If we make them responsible, if we
blame them, if we attack their humanity,
then perhaps we think we will gain back
what we have lost. But this never works,
because rage always devours the user as
its victim.
Jesus offers another way. Its quite re-

markable, really. He tells us to get rid of

anger by being gracious to the person
who caused our anger. I know that
sounds nuts! Who really ever does this?
But Jesus says, If you are compelled to
carry anothers burden for a mile, carry it
a second mile. Are you kidding me?
This never works, right? Its just a theory.
The Romans were great at practicing
what I call restrictive injustice. They
could legally take advantage of others,
but placed limits on how much a person
could be oppressed. The army could
compel people to carry the troop supplies and armor, but only for a mile. By
volunteering the second mile, you not
only saved someone else from being
compelled, but also demonstrated mastery over the injustice.
Maybe Jesus way isn't realistic. But
frankly, there are too many words that
harm, too many alpine flowers being
crushed and too much blame being generated to not give it a try. Perhaps we
shall see beauty we have missed before,
and even find our souls refreshed.
20-20-20
Dear Editor:
Over the past couple months Ive attended all three meetings of the Police
Station Ad Hoc Committee. At this
point, it seems very few committee
members know what Claremont voters
will support, or even care.
The discussion has been focused primarily on what the police department or
the city administration wants. It is time
for Claremont residents to voice their
opinions and let the committee and our
elected officials know what we are willing to spend on this new facility.
During public comment at the second
meeting, I told the committee I would
support the new proposal only if it met
my 20-20-20 rule. The new building
should not be larger than 20,000 square
feet, cost no more than $20 million and
be repaid over no more than 20 years.
A 20,000-square-foot building is
twice the size of the current building
and could be built at the current police
station site. No one can argue in good
faith that a building larger than that is
needed. The population of the city has
increased by only 40 percent since
1972 and it certainly wont increase
READERS COMMENTS
much more in the future because we
have nowhere to grow!
Based on his own analysis, Ludd
Trozpek suggested at that same meeting
that a new building should cost from $17
to $24 million$17 million for a barebones, only-the-necessities building and
$24 million for an all-the-bells-andwhistles building.
A $20 million budget would allow
both the police department and the community to decide what add-ons are most
important but limit the size and scope of
the project.
The current police station was completed in 1972 and financed over 25
years. This means that every resident
who moved to Claremont after 1997, including myself, has enjoyed a free lunch
with respect to paying their fair share for
police facilities.
Every debt proposal put forth by the
city managers office has a repayment
period of 30 years. Nowadays, it always
seems to be the case that elected officials
want to push current costs off to our
children. Yes, this approach is less expensive on an annual basis and, thus,
more palatable to voters but it is actually
far more expensive in the long run.
The 30-year debt service has not been
questioned by a single committee member. If Claremont residents cant afford
to pay this debt off over 20 years and
leave something for the next generation,
we shouldnt be spending that much.

Helping hands
Dear Editor:
My name is Jacqueline White and I
am the Program Director at Crossroads,
Inc., a nonprofit group in Claremont. For
the past 40 years, Crossroads has assisted women transitioning from prison
to self-sufficiency. Our primary goal is
to empower women to take control of
their lives and help them step out of the
revolving door of prison and jail and
move towards economic independence.
I had to share what I believe was an
act of human kindness and an example
of a business going above and beyond

the call of duty. Recently, I had a resident who was suffering from a toothache
and she had very little money to pay for
services. After trying all my resources,
and having no luck, I called a die-hard
friend of mine by the name of Frida. She
never gives up and she reached out local
dental offices in Claremont.
Her first call was to Claremont Modern Dentistry. She explained our circumstance to the office manager. The office
manager did not hesitate when she said
they would be willing to help. She even
gave us a 2:30 p.m. appointment for that
same day.
Both Dr. Soojhin Lee and Dr. Kent
Lau assisted in extracting her tooth at no
cost. Everyone in the office was so nice
and personable. They also provided a
variety of dental hygiene products to our
program. Kudos to Claremont Modern
Dentistry, at 405 W. Foothill Blvd., Suite
104, Claremont.

HERITAGE ELMS/continued from page 4
not provide the specific schedule.

Two years ago, when the city put a new sidewalk
down, the irrigation was redirected away from the
trees. Last summer, the city put in some soaker hoses
when it became evident the drought was continuing,
Mr. Roger said, adding that the city stopped using watering systems when cooler weather came in.
To its credit, the city used a water truck and tree bags
to sustain newly-planted trees in the commercial Village area, particularly along Yale Avenue.
Mr. Roger claims that it wasnt lack of watering but
a debilitating tree bacteria, xylella or X. fastidiosa, that
was ultimately to blame for the elms poor health.
The issue with the trees is not water: they were diseased with xylella, Mr. Roger said. They had decay
in them and were old and were a hazard to the people
in the park. The issue wasnt that the trees werent watered.
According to a study by the American Phytopathological Society, regular watering can be used to sustain plants infected by X. fastidiosa, particularly during
periods of water stress.
Further, the Journal of Experimental Botany published a study that showed water stress enhanced leaf
scorch symptom severity and progression in a variety
of ivy and creeping plants that were infected by X. fastidiosa.
Fred Roth, an arborist and emeritus professor at Cal
Poly Pomona, said xylellas destructive path varies for
different trees.
Its kind of a sly little pathogen, Mr. Roth said. In
some it kills rather quicklytheres a broad range. Its
relatively slow to damage American elms from everything we know. But probably its a factor over that
time.
Mr. Roth first diagnosed the citys elm trees along
Indian Hill with xylella about 20 years ago. He cautioned that regular watering of an affected elm tree is
not a certain tactic to keep it alive.
The bacterium proliferates. It grows in the vascular
system of the tree and it literally plugs it up, Mr. Roth
said. My first thought is if that vascular system isnt
working, then keeping the tree hydrated doesnt make a
difference. On the other hand, is it possible? We cant
eliminate the possibility that it could help the tree.
The vascular system brings water and nutrients to
the above-ground portion of the tree from the roots. Mr.
Roth noted that the elm trees along Indian Hill had
been in decline ever since he arrived in town in 1977,
and he diagnosed them with xylella about 10 years
later.
The city recognized the 11 trees would to eventually
be removed, and began to grow replacement saplings
at a local nursery to be planted as soon as the original

trees were taken out, according to the city press release.

In all, 43 trees along Indian Hill Boulevard are in a
declining state, the release stated. City staff will develop preservation plans in the coming months, including select trimming and a long term plan to remove
and replant trees for future generations.
This information did not sit well with some members of the community, including Claremont Heritage
Director David Shearer, who noted that his group has
been fighting for the trees for years.
It paints a picture that none of this was the citys
fault, Mr. Shearer said via email. I am sorry to say
that Claremont Heritage has been working on the issue
of trying to save our trees for over three years.

Mr. Shearer said Claremont Heritage has been working to bring attention to the issue, reaching out at tree
committee and city council meetings and organizing a
tree coalition of concerned citizens to tackle the issue
of the dying elms.
There are several reasons why ours are now having
to be removed, Mr. Shearer said. It goes back to the
beginning of the drought and was exacerbated by the
massive root-trimming that took place when the city
did the Indian Hill sidewalk project a couple of years
ago. They literally cut out a tremendous percentage of
the roots just to move the sidewalks in Memorial Park.
We wrote a letter from an expert on our board at that
time to raise the alarm.
Mr. von Wodtke claimed each tree was valued at
around $80,000, a number based on the settlement
from an elm on Tenth Street that was damaged when a
stoplight was installed.
He called on the city to update the Tree Inventory
and develop an urban forest master plan to properly
deal with the changing climate. The Tree Action
Group, Mr. von Wodtke said, has made the Tree Inventory and the urban forest master plan a top priority.
The lesson to be learned from the unfortunate loss
of the Heritage trees is that the city of Claremont needs
not to placate the community, but instead provide a better team and budget to protect our trees, which are a
valuable community asset, Mr. von Wodtke said.

Fundraising for a five-day bike program for kids
with disabilites has been launched. The camp will
run from June 27 to July 1 at Fairplex, Pomona.
Encourage independence,
physical activity with bike camp
for kids with disabilities
A national nonprofit organization, iCan Shine, aims
to host a five-day bike program from June 27 to July
1 at Fairplex in Pomona.
Fundraising began to pay for the camp, which will
teach as many as 40 people with disabilities to independently ride a conventional two-wheel bicycle.
Movement and play are the basis for all iCan Shine
programs, according to the organizations website.
Recreational skills can be difficult to master for individuals with disabilities like autism or Down syndrome. Breaking skills into small, achievable goals
and celebrating each accomplishment builds the selfesteem and confidence needed to continue the challenges of learning, according to iCan Shine.
Learning to overcome the challenge of riding a bicycle benefits people with disabilities by enabling them
to participate in a leisure activity with their friends and
family, stay physically fit, gain confidence and improve their sense of accomplishment and self-esteem.
Approximately 80 percent of the people who complete the iCan Bike program ride a two-wheel bicycle
independently (at least 75 feet with no assistance) by
the end of the five-day program. The remaining 20
percent make tremendous progress toward this goal
and leave the programs accompanied by parents
and/or siblings trained as spotters to pick up where

the training left off.
The first day to register will be at Claremonts
Earth Day celebration on Saturday, April 23 from 10
a.m. to 3 p.m.
Largely through the effort of Lourdes Jovel, the
mother of an 8-year-old with Down syndrome, nearly
$3,000 has been raised so far, however, much more is
needed. Local dentist and dad Wally Cox has offered
a weekend getaway to La Quinta as a raffle prize.
Those who donate will be entered into the drawing.
Local sponsors include Fairplex, Sustainable Claremont, Eureka Burger, la Minute and Sunset Cycles.
To learn more, visit icanshine-claremont.com.
To donate, make checks payable to iCan Shine and
write Claremont Camp in the memo portion of the
check. Mail checks to 505 Carleton Place, Claremont,
CA 91711. If you have questions, call Dr. Cox at
(909) 367-5223 or email Ms. Jovel at

US Senator Brian Schatz to

visit Pomona College to
address climate change
US Senator Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, will visit
Pomona College for a talk on climate change at 4:30
p.m. today, Friday, April 8, at the Colleges Argue
Auditorium (Millikan Laboratory, 610 N. College
Ave., Claremont). The event is free and open to the
public.
In the talk, titled Climate Change: A Call to Action, Mr. Schatz will urge students and young people
to take action on this critical issue. The talk is followed by a question and answer period.
Mr. Schatz is a key advocate for research and tax
incentives for clean energy and for regulating carbon
pollution, among other environmental issues. As he
noted last year after President Barack Obama and
Chinas President Xi Jinping announced new steps to
fight climate change: The momentum is palpable.
People, governments, companies and institutions are
beginning to take the kinds of actions that give us a
legitimate chance to solve this problem. Ive never
been so hopeful on this issue.
Mr. Schatz graduated from Pomona College in

1994 with a major in philosophy. He then returned to
Hawaii, starting a nonprofit organization to get young
people involved in community service, engaging in
environmental restoration and activism. He later went
on to run Helping Hands Hawaii, a major social service agency.
Mr. Schatz served in the Hawaii House of Representatives from 1998 to 2006 and then as chairman of
the Democratic Party of Hawaii from 2008 to 2010.
He was lieutenant governor of Hawaii from 2010 to
2012 before being appointed to the US Senate to replace Senator Daniel Inouye after his death in 2012.
Mr. Schatz won a 2014 special election to complete
Mr. Inouyes term. He is running for a full, six-year
term this year.

Dine at Eddies Pizzeria, raise

money for a good cause
Two fundraisers for the Claremont Emergency Response Team (CERT) are scheduled for Tuesday,
April 12 and Monday, April 18 at Eddies Pizzeria
and Eatery, 1065 W. Foothill Blvd., Claremont. From
5 p.m. to closing, a portion of all profits will be donated by Eddies to support training for individuals to
help in the event of an emergency or disaster.
CERT members also provide critical support to
professional responders during an emergency situation or a disaster. The CERT program was first developed by the Los Angeles Fire Department in 1985,
and the first CERT team completed its training in
early 1986. The Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) now uses the program as a national
model for other communities. In June 2003, the Los
Angeles County Fire Department implemented its department-wide CERT training program.
The city of Claremont CERT has approximately
125 members, are ready to assist the city during times
of crisis and to provide training to the community
through the basic CERT course and neighborhood
emergency preparedness meetings and training.
To become a member of Claremonts emergency
response team, contact CERT supervisor Sgt. Robert

Claremont artist offers dazzling retrospective
ne mans trash is another mans treasure.

Claremont artist Dan
Van Clapp takes this saying literally, using castoffs to create
treasure from his imagined
expeditions that appear, quite
honestly, real as can be.
Bin-diving, thrift stores and people

give me trash, the artist said, explaining
how he comes across his material. And
much of it finds a home in the artists
complex assemblage pieces.
One can view the repurposing and
reimagining of these objects up close in
the dazzling Captain Dans Incredible
Collection of Rare Curiosities, running
through April 16 at the dA Center for the
Arts in Pomona.
Hes just brilliant, said dA Executive Director Margaret Aichele. The
show is a huge statement to what imagination is on steroids.
That outsized imagination has been
driving Mr. Van Clapp since he was a
boy. Born in OshKosh, Wisconsin, he and
his family moved to San Diego in 1952.
His first art show happened by accident.
The youngsters fourth grade art teacher
tipped off Mr. Van Clapps mother to the
quality of the work he was doing, ultimately leading to his watercolors being
framed and displayed in the schools cafeteria.
So I knew something was happening, Mr. Van Clapp said of his very early
career.
Driven from that early age, Mr. Van
Clapp, now 70, has created art his entire
life, earning his bachelors degree in
painting from San Diego State University
in 1968 and a masters degree in painting
from UCLA in 1973. Over the years he

Claremont artist Dan Van Clapp, at right, talks with COURIER reporter Mick Rhodes about his work at the dA Gallery. Mr.
Van Clapps show, Captain Dans Incredible Collection of Rare Curiosities, runs through April 16.
has worked in sculpture, painting, assemblage and as a muralist. He is a professor of art at Mt. San Antonio College
and has lived in the Village with his dentist wife, Paula Van Horn, since they were
married in 1984.
The show at the dA, while incorporating more than 45 years of Mr. Van Clapps
work, did not start out as a retrospective.
The combination of the space and timing
helped determine the shows content.
Actually, this is the first time Ive ever
had this much displayed in one space, he
said. This is probably the only gallery
that can handle it. Its really great to have

this much space.
The show is nothing if not varied.
Pieces from as early as 1965 up through
the present are represented. And while
the work was created during different
stages of the artists life, the show is surprisingly cohesive.
One standout work, Is This Amelia?,
is an exhaustively detailed imagining of a
salvaged section of the plane of doomed
pilot Amelia Earhart, who famously disappeared in 1937 while attempting to circumnavigate the globe.
Ive always wanted to make an air-
plane, Mr. Van Clapp explained, and

everybodys always been crazy looking
for Amelia Earharts airplane. So finally I
said Enough of this, lets get the whole
aircraft up.
The artist researched photos and
schematic drawings of Ms. Earharts
plane, and slowly began making chalk
outlines of his interpretation of the structure on the wall of his Ontario studio.
Five months later, it was complete. The
wall-mounted section of the fuselage and
a separate landing gear wheel appear to be
made of heavy aluminum and metal. But
VAN CLAPP/next page

in truth, the pieces are mostly styrofoam, paint and plastic. The believability of the finished product are astounding.
Its like building a big, giant model airplane from
scratch, Mr. Van Clapp said. But its not a kit. I had to
make all the parts, and then make it look like its been
wrecked for 70-something years.
The ordinary materials that go into Mr. Van Clapps
work are transformed one at a time via the artists
painstaking aging process.
Kids toys, hoses, its all a bunch of junk, the artist
13
said. Once I use this stainless steel paint, ash compound,

burnt embers, it unifies it.
The artists process involves experimenting with materials and compounds, and just a lot of rust, he explained. I look at actual stuff: rusty metal, corroding
copper, rotted rubber, and just imitate as best as I can.
The folly, the depth Ms. Aichele said of Mr. Van
Clapps show, if one pays attention to his innuendos,
they are pretty profound. I dont know that there are
words to truly explain his genius.
That depth may be best exemplified in the series of
historical books hes created, including Da Vincis
Notebook, Book of Kells, 11th Century, Mayan

massive, he explained. Then I use paints and pigments, and burn holes in them for the worm holes.
Could Mr. Van Clapp be the first artist to create art at
this level, using phone books as the source material? I
hope Im the first, he said. Thatd be nice.
The playfulness of Mr. Van Clapps work is evident in
abundance at the dA show. The spooky and the funny coexist with puns, jokes and multi-level symbolism.
For example, The Wreck of the Carne Asada incorporates plastic thrift store dolls the artist aged with a
process involving industrial solvents, dental stone and
paint. The effect on the finished product is one of a
weird 100-year-old family heirloom in a state of natural
decay.
Ive seen some of these things in churches in the valley of Oaxaca, he said. One church had saints with
their heads cut off and swords sticking out of their
breasts...very, very frightening looking things. So I took
those things and put a little Monty Python spin on that.
Mr. Van Clapps Two Million Year Old Frog (2000)
piece is both creepy and funny, an observation that
pleases the artist. Good, he said. It should be a little
creepy.
Another hallmark of Mr. Van Clapps aesthetic is his
use everything ethos. Red Cow with Crab Claws is
a 1988 piece inspired in part by a Newport Beach
seafood dinner. The restaurants waitress was perplexed
when the artist asked her to save the crab claws, which
he later incorporated into the piece. Another time, a
friend tossed a beer bottle into Mr. Van Clapps fire pit.
The next day, the artist found the contorted, melted
glass. I said, thats unusual...Ill use that for something, and it made its way into his art.
The breadth and depth of the materials Mr. Van Clapp
uses is surprising and more than a little whimsical. He has
used a baseball bat, toilet parts, drywall screws, a microscope, a kids cowboy belt and rusty barbecue partsa
creative recycling of so many items that would likely end
up in landfills. He may be the worlds greenest artist.
Ha, well, yeah, I guess so, he said.
The artist was modest when asked about what it
means to see his sprawling, de-facto retrospective filling
the entire ground floor of the bright, lofty dA Gallery.
Ms. Aicheles perspective helped explain what it means
to the gallery.
The greatest gem of allis the artistsbrilliantmind,
she said. His genius shines in thecaptivating display of
ordinary toextraordinary objects and artifacts. The dA
is beyond grateful to have the honor to host this exhibition.

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 recorder's 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
the property. 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 916-939-0772 for information regarding
the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwideposting.com for information regarding the
sale of this property, using the file number assigned to
this case 00000005648662. 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 site. The best way to verify postponement
information is to attend the scheduled sale. FOR

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER
ESTATE OF MANUEL J. CORTEZ
CASE NO. BP171892
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in
the will or estate, or both, of MANUEL J. CORTEZ
A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by JOANNE KOLATH and JOSEPH CORTEZ in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles.
THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that JOANNE KOLATH and JOSEPH CORTEZ be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.
The PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates
Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions,
however, the personal representative will be required
to give notice to interested persons unless they have
waived notice or consented to the proposed action.)
The independent administration authority will be
granted unless an interested person files an objection
to the petition and shows good cause why the court
should not grant the authority.
A HEARING ON THE PETITION WILL BE HELD
IN THIS COURT AS FOLLOWS:
Date: May 12, 2016 Time: 8:30 A.M. in Dept. 5 Room:
located at:
Superior Court Of California,
County Of Los Angeles,
111 North Hill Street
Los Angeles, CA 90012
Central District
IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you
should appear at the hearing and state your objections
or file written objections with the court before the
hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your
attorney.
IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a CONTINGENT
CREDITOR OF THE DECEDENT, you must file
your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the
later of either (1) four months from the date of first
issuance of letters to a general personal representative,
as defined in section 58 (b) of the California Probate
Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of
the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal authority may
affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to
consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.
YOU MAY EXAMINE THE FILE KEPT BY THE
COURT. If you are a person interested in the estate,
you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as
provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for
Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

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 recorder's 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 the
property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The
