Water rates are reasonable

Dear Editor: I would like to first state my support for Tobias Hechts Viewpoint regarding the purchase of Golden State Water in Claremont. We have 5 people and pay a bill of about $50 to $60 per month, which I agree is quite reasonable. I would like to add that we all live in a desert, and so water is a precious and limited resource. Water is removed from aquifers at a much faster rate than it is replaced. Wasting water to make unused miniature golf courses in everyone's backyard is inane. One the other hand, I would also like to respond to Nick Mirmans letter to the editor on the same subject. Giant forprofit corporations do not have constitutional rights, people do. Golden State Water is also quite capable of defending itself. Consequently, I doubt that anyone really thinks that your California Alliance to Protect Private Property Rights is anything but a shill. I suggest you quit this battle and go protect someone who needs it.

Support the NVRA

Dear Editor: The fate of the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) now lies with the Supreme Court. For the second time in as many months, the justices are hearing arguments on vital legislation that has encouraged active participation in our democracy for nearly 2 decades. The League of Women Voters of Arizona is a plaintiff in the case and the LWVUS has submitted an amicus brief to the Court. If the Supreme Court rules against the NVRA, states would be free to pass laws that could restrict voter registration activities and thereby prevent eligible citizens from registering to vote. Pledge to support new voters and the organizations that bring them into the political process. Contact the Supreme Court to let them know of your support for the NVRA. Thank you.

Mayor Schroeder passes the torch to Opanyi Nasiali
ouncilmember Opanyi Nasiali has received a name change. Its Mayor Nasiali for 2013-2014.
Mr. Nasiali was unanimously selected to serve as Claremonts mayor by his fellow council members at a special meeting Tuesday night. He takes up his new title after serving the city over the past year as mayor pro tem. He is still getting used to the name change. I keep pinching myself, he joked. But he has no false notions over what the title of mayor might mean for him. It hasnt changed his mindset as a council member whatsoever, he assured. I am one among equals, Mr. Nasiali said. We all have one duty, one responsibility, and that is to do what the people CITY elected us to do, and thats it. The COUNCIL main thing that is foremost above anything else is that we are here to do the peoples job. His first act as mayor was to lead the council in selecting Joe Lyons as the new mayor pro tem, also unanimously affirmed. The duo will now lead the city after joining the council together in March of 2011. Priorities for the councilmember-turned-mayor have not changed much since that election. As mayor, he brings his campaign slogan living within our means along for the ride. We are doing a pretty good job right now and I want to continue that, Mr. Nasiali said. I want to make sure the city is financially stable because if you dont have that stability you cant provide the services that people need and are used to. That is my personal number-one goal. Since his election 2 years ago, Mr. Nasiali has put his motto to work by aiding the city in negotiations with its employees, transitioning to having each employee pay their own portion of their Public Employees Retirement System contribution (PERS). As mayor, he plans to continue those efforts with eyes fo-

cused on areas of local concern that the council has deemed most important to the city: local water issues, overcrowding of the Wilderness Park, economic development and a new police station. All of those are things that if we dont keep our eye on them, we can easily go into the forest and expense staff time on things that are not as critical as the ones we set as our priorities as a council. We need to maintain a focus on things relevant to Claremont within the purview of the local council, Mr. Nasiali continued. Lets focus our attention to the things we need to do within that list of priorities we established for ourselves, Mr. Nasiali said. Another important area of focus for the new mayor is building upon the citys relationships with its schools. Among his goals, Mr. Nasiali would like to reintroduce city government day, bringing high school students to City Hall for the day to shadow the city manager and other staff members. The day would ideally culminate with the students joining for a city council meeting. He also plans to invite all local schools to send a student representative or group of student representatives to start off each meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance. He hopes educating young students about their government and increasing their involvement will encourage their interest in community involvement. Recognizing the low voter turnout in recent city elections, he finds the need to engage children in local government even more vital. Im hoping that if we start students at a young age to see how their government functions and understand how it works, maybe there will be some interest in their realizing they too can play a role, he said. Mr. Nasiali grew up in Kenya during a time when public education did not exist. Neither of his parents
had higher than a grade school education, but instilled in their son the importance of education. Though his parents were not wealthy, they managed to scrape together enough money to send their son to school. They instilled the value of education within their son, a value that remains today. I recognize the importance of emphasizing education as the cornerstone of whatever we do in our lives, Mr. Nasiali said. I want our students to know their council is interested in their success. Not just their athletic success, but for those accomplished in the classroom as well. He wants to set an example for Claremonts budding academics by recognizing those who excel at city council meetings. It gives the students something to work hard for, scholastically speaking, he said. As Mr. Nasiali assumes his role as mayorthe emails are already rolling informer Mayor Larry Schroeder settles into his role as city council member, fresh from re-election. Mr. Schroeder and fellow Councilmember Corey Calaycay were reinstated into their positions on Tuesday evening. Its finally beginning to sink in, Mr. Nasiali said the morning following his selection. But Ill take each day as it comes and always remember the reason why I do this, why we [council members, volunteers for the city] all do this. Its not a position of power. We do it because we have this unique desire to serve the community in which we live. The idea that I can actually contribute something to the betterment of the community, that is always foremost, he continued. It is an honor that people see that and give me the privilege of serving on the city council.

Police not satisfied with sentence of Pomona man
laremont police are calling on a the US Attorneys office for a second opinion after a local man wanted for meeting with a child for lewd purposes got away with a lighter-than-anticipated sentence.
Claremont police arrested Donny Wade, a 32-yearold resident of Pomona, on March 13 after being found with a 14-year-old runaway from Utah. Mr. Wade and the juvenile had met through online chat rooms on Meetme.com. Mr. Wade successfully persuaded the girl to come out to Claremont, buying her a ticket on the Greyhound on March 8, according to police. The teenager had been missing for 5 days before police caught up with her on the roof of the parking
structure at First Street and Claremont Boulevard. The teen had been linked to Mr. Wades home and several local hotels before she was found. Police were able to locate her by tracking her computer usage. Mr. Wade was arrested and the teen returned to her family. Though police recommended criminal charges for lewd acts with a child as well as meeting with a child for lewd purposes, the DA only upheld the latter offense, to which Mr. Wade pleaded no contest on March 14. He was sentenced to one year county jail time with 5 years probation, according to the District Attorney. Officers say he will also be required to register as a sex offender. Local police remain disappointed with the ruling, believing that Mr. Wade should have at least been sentenced to state prison. Further, they fear that Mr. Wade will be up to his old ways once released.
This plea agreement doesnt even address probation conditions that prohibit the defendant, once hes released from County jail, from using the Internet and associating with children, said Claremonts Chief of Police Paul Cooper in a statement. While there is no requirement that the district attorneys office contact law enforcement agencies when plea bargaining cases, in this matter we would have hoped that we could have been provided an opportunity to provide our input, especially when this plea was made so early on in the process, at the defendants arraignment, Chief Cooper continued. Claremont police will continue to investigate whether or not federal laws were violated with the ruling and will be contacting the US Attorneys office for a review.

POLICE BLOTTER
Thursday, March 14 A week of fancy feasting has come to an end for Claremont resident Julian Uribe. The 21-year-old was caught on tape stealing cuts of meat and lobster tails at the Claremont Stater Brothers market, 1055 W. Foothill Blvd., from Saturday, March 9 through Wednesday, March 13, according to Lieutenant Mike Ciszek. Police brought an end to the fine dining on Thursday. No more surf-andturf behind bars. **** Wanted: a man with a nice, new chain necklace from the Diamond Center in Claremont. The man made off with the jewelry late last month using a fraudulent credit card. He is described as Caucasian with blonde hair and a beard,
about 5 foot 9 and 160 pounds. Friday, March 15 An afternoon siesta on the lawn in front of City Hall was cut short for Pasadena resident James Harrington, who had apparently enjoyed an early St. Patricks Day celebration. The 45-yearold was seen staggering along the street before he decided to sprawl out on the grass for some shuteye, according to Lt. Ciszek. Claremont police brought his nap to an end when they determined Mr. Harrington was under the influence of alcohol and unable to care for himself. He was arrested for public intoxication and held at the local jail until sober. **** The hate crimes continue at Honnold Library, 800 N. Dartmouth Ave. Throughout the past several months, police have found a series of swastikas drawn in blue ink in the bathrooms of the library as well as in various other college buildings. The story on Friday was slightly different. This time, police found derogatory statements targeting several racial and cultural groups. There are no suspects, but investigation continues.
Saturday, March 16 Police are searching for a man involved in a startling attack on a local senior in the 500 block of South Indian Hill. According to the report, the woman awoke in her bed on Saturday night to find a man who had climbed up on her bed exposing his genitals. She screamed and the man fled. Investigation continues. **** On Indian Hill Boulevard in Village West, American Apparel shoppers were interrupted on Saturday afternoon when they were accosted by a man with no shoes, screaming at customers and appearing lost and confused. He was taken to the hospital for a mental evaluation. **** Later on Saturday evening, the residents of a home on Wharton Drive were also given a shock when they received an unexpected new lawn decoration. A driver speeding down the street had taken too sharp of a left turn and collided with a tree. Both the driver and a passenger were in stable condition, but transported to the hospital with physical injuries. There was no alcohol involved in the incident, according to Lt. Ciszek. Sunday, March 17 Claremont residents and guests were

Monday, March 18 A man and a woman were arrested Monday night after police discovered the car they were driving was listed as a felony vehicle out of Glendora. Police say the car was involved in a pursuit that was called off because of reckless driving. There might have been a reason for that. Driver Johnathan Anderson, 30, of Azusa was found to be driving unlicensed. He was arrested. Passenger Deanna Cooper, 32, of Glendora was also nabbed, but for different reasons. She was found in possession of methamphetamine and a glass pipe with which to smoke it, according to Lt. Ciszek. She joined him behind bars. Tuesday, March 19 Police are investigating the burglary of an apartment in the 600 block of Montgomery Circle. According to the police log, among the loot stolen was $200 in cash, jewelry and an iPad along with 2 handguns, 9 long rifles and a shotgun.
EDUCATION
Baldy View ROP future unknown as staff are given pink slips
ith Governor Jerry Brown proposing a new K-12 funding system, the future of the Baldy View Regional Occupational Program is uncertain.
At the Thursday, March 7 meeting of the Claremont school board, board president and Baldy View ROP Commissioner Mary Caenepeel reported that employees of the local Joint Powers Authority which provides career technical education (CTE) to residents of Claremont, Upland, Chino and Chaffey Joint Union school districtshave all been given pink slips. Unlike her staff, Baldy View ROP Superintendent Shelley Adams doesnt stand to lose her job come June 30, when the state budget is finalized, because she is in the first months of a 3-year contract. Nonetheless, Its so disheartening to go through this process, she said. Flexible funding poses risks Ms. Adams had hoped to devote her tenure to updating Baldy Views classes to reflect current standards and trends, including new digital and green technologies. Instead, she is fighting to make sure CTE programs dont get lost in the funding shuffle. The crisis began on January 10, when Governor Brown unveiled his proposed 2013-14 budget, which introduces a new Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) to the states education system. Currently, some $7 billion in funding for 62 categorical programs, from oral health exams for kindergartners to CTE, is doled out to an array of departments and agencies. It is a process that critics argue has led to too many layers of bureaucracy, financial waste and iniquity. Under the current system, districts receive notably different per-pupil funding rates based on historical factors and varying participation in categorical programs, the Legislative Analysts Office notes. Under the LCFF, categorical funding would be consolidated and given straight to school districts. On top of a lump sum base grant based on enrollment, districts would receive additional funding for traditionally underserved students such as English learners, foster children and lowincome students. Another categorical program, class size reduction, would be replaced with extra funding for children in grades K-3, while CTE funds would go straight to districts based on how many high school students are enrolled. Districts could use CTE money as they see fit, including for areas other than vocational education, in keeping with Governor Browns belief that individual districts are the best judges of what their students need. Baldy View ROP, which has an annual operating budget of $8 million, currently has $7 million in reserves, according to Ms. Caenepeel. As a Joint Powers Authority, it is required to have enough money in its coffers, or enough guaranteed state funding, to pay for the program for 3 years. Under the proposed LCFF system, they cannot be sure they will be getting CEF fundsand getting them at the same

Water issues in Claremont: Water for life, not for profit

by Marilee Scaff
laremont residents recently received mailers charging a water grab as the city moves toward reacquiring its water system. In 1922, Claremontwith only 2500 residents asked the little southern California Water Company over in San Dimas to take over operation of its water company, and they didfor free! We know who engaged in a water grab. In the late 1990s, they went to court to get exclusive rights to most of the water used in Claremont, again for free!
In the last 90 years, that little San Dimas company has morphed into a national conglomerate, with shares sold through the New York Stock Exchange under the name American States Water; its chief aim: profitability for its stockholders. They later changed the Southern California Water Co. name to Golden State Water Co. Every 3 years they submit rate increase requests to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and expect to be awarded at least half their inflated estimates. Only 12 years ago, the CPUC also granted regional rates, so Claremont and Bishop and Calipatria and cities that must rely entirely on expensive imported water all pay the same rates, despite vast differences in water costs. (Claremont gets more than half its water from local wells at a quarter of the cost of imported water.) As a private business, GSW has no transparency in their operation, and it is impossible to get straight facts about their affairs.
Demystifying
SUSTAINABILITY
Claremont would like to negotiate a fair market price, but Golden State has refused to negotiate with Claremont officials. The only legal alternative is eminent domain proceedings, under which the price will be settled in court. Golden State has tried to vilify this process as foolishly expensive, scaring residents so they will oppose it. The mailings and similar news stories are generated by a Sacramento PR firm, California Alliance to Protect Private Property Rights, employed by Golden State Water Company and paid for by you, with high water rates. Wise Claremonters wont be fooled by these exaggerations. We can buy the company and reduce costs of operation, even tho' water rates may not drop immediately. Fact: residents of Claremont contribute approximately $8 million a year in profits to Golden States shareholders compared to our neighboring cities that own their water systems. That money would pay off revenue bonds used to purchase the water company, so that in less than 30 years we would own and control our own water resources and even earlier have lower water rates than under Golden State Water. Water decisions require long-range thinking. So, what are the issues? If the city acquires its own water rights and distribution system, the benefits carefully weighed are: (1) local control: 85 percent of California cities own their water companies, setting their own rates; (2) transparency in public meetings and published
reports. A proprietary company does not have to make details of its operations public, and Golden State Water does not do so; (3) rates set locally based on actual costs of water and services, not by far-off managers and the CPUC; (4) $8 million/year not sent out of town to distant stockholders would pay off bonds. There is no need to increase taxes as the bonds could be paid for by water users without increasing water rates. (5) conservers of water would not have to pay that WRAM charge which pays Golden State for not delivering water; (6) with long-range planning, we could increase storage, better utilize storm water and improve the yield of local wells; (7) owning our water company assures us permanent control of this scarce natural resource. (8) But we dont have a Claremont water manager! Of course not; we have not needed one. But there are many around and neighboring cities have voiced offers of help. Claremont surely has as competent residents as our neighbors. OF COURSE, WE CAN DO IT! Water for life, not for profit should be Claremonts motto.

Lack of maintenance results in tree removal

by Michael Heilpern
hank you for publishing a story about the citys plan to remove the 50foot-tall pine trees in The Club neighborhood, which appeared in the March 1 edition of the COURIER.
Like Tonya Bennitt, quoted in the article, many of us who chose to live in The Club neighborhood were attracted by the pine trees, which give the neighborhood its distinctive quality. They are also appreciated by the dozens of Claremont residents from outside the immediate neighborhood who enjoy walking, jogging, biking or pushing baby strollers on these streets every day of the week. In December, when the Community and Human Services Department notified some of the area residents of its intentions, it prompted a spontaneous outcry, including a hard copy petition to protect the trees, which now has close to 100 signatures. This is in addition to the online petition referred to in the article. Links to both petitions can now be found online at www.ProtectClaremont Trees.org. The article quotes Stacy Cuevas, community and human services manager, as
saying that issues with the health and stability of the towering pines at The Club have been ongoing since 2005. It would be more accurate to state that issues with the pines disrupting hardscape have been ongoing since 2005. Given that the city, in the first phase of its tree mitigation plan, chose not to have the trees evaluated for health and stability by a certified arborist, we never really learned how many of them were either unhealthy or unstable. What we did learn was how much the character of Shenandoah Drive was changed by removing just one-third of the trees. We also learned that you cant really replace a 50-foot pine tree with a 10-foot sapling of any species. What you end up doing is not replacing the tree but destroying it, and then planting another that may grow to replace it in 25 to 30 years. Now, nearly 8 years after they were planted, a brief tour of Shenandoah Drive clearly demonstrates how much these young trees will need to grow before they come close to replacing the giants that were cut down. When the city attempted to remove another third of the trees in 2008, it was met with tremendous resistance from the neighborhood. So much so that the city council insisted that all the trees that were damag-
VIEWPOINT
ing hardscape be individually evaluated to preserve as many as possible, as prescribed by our tree policy guidelines. As a result, only 12 trees were removed. Additionally, in 2008, the city council had the special circumstances mitigation provision, which previously had allowed the city to remove healthy trees, stricken from the tree policy guidelinesa clear indication that healthy trees should not be mitigated in the future. Which is why it is so surprising that staff would recommend a similar course of action once again. The Community and Human Services Commission, a citizens advisory board, heard the departments plans for The Club neighborhood on February 6. Contrary to the report in the COURIER, the commission did not recommend the removal of any of the trees with roots causing significant damage. Rather, it voted unanimously, 7-0, to recommend that the city adhere to the tree policy guidelines, which require that each tree be evaluated individually to determine whether hardscape damage could safely be remedied through the usual means of trimming or grinding
the trees roots. The article also states that the department estimated the cost to fix the problem of damaged hardscape at $470,859. According to the staff report of January 28, that figure is an estimate of the total cost since 2005, including work that was completed in 2005 and 2008 plus future work. What Ms. Cuevas did not tell the COURIER is that damage to the side streets that feed into Shenandoah Drive has not been addressed at all in at least 10 years, a source of frustration for people living on those streets. In our view, this is not primarily a tree problem but a problem of lack of regular maintenance. The craziest thing about the latest tree replacement program is that it is entirely unnecessary. We have a conservative, wellconceived tree policy, which allows for mature trees to be removed if there is no other way to remedy damage to hardscape without endangering their health or stability. The tree policy does not prevent us from maintaining our roads and sidewalks. Rather, it slows down our process so that we consider all other alternatives before destroying valuable community assets that will take an entire generation to be replaced in the name of cost-savings or efficiency.
Safety concerns require replacement of Club trees

by Dennis Vlasich, Board President, The Club HOA
ver the last 2 weeks, there has been discussion in the COURIER about the pine tree mitigation project in the development known as The Club (surrounding The Claremont Club on Monte Vista).
The petition presented to the COURIER by Tonya Bennitt, a homeowner in the association, has 28 signatures, unverified. There are 309 homeowners in The Club HOA, so this represents a very small percentage. Since Ms. Bennitt lives in the Vista section of the HOA, the only pine trees near those homes are along Shenandoah and far enough away from their home not to pose a threat. It is the cul-de-sacs in the Single Family section of the HOA where the problems are the worse, threatening
streets, driveways and utility boxes. The board, by law, represents all 309 and are elected in 2-year cycles just as the city council is. Ms. Bennitt was notified by the HOA of the several meetings regarding the trees and the boards position with respect to the citys proposal, but no petition was presented or comment made despite its publication on the agendas for all of these meetings. Nonetheless, the important fact here is that none of the 28 petitioners (to the boards knowledge) are speaking for those homeowners who are in imminent danger of these 30-year-old, unmaintained trees that are planted too close to utility lines, streets, curbs, sidewalks and driveways breaking the hardscape or the utility lines as dozens have already done over the past 10 years. Its easy to vote to save the trees when its not about to fall on your house because the roots have been pruned so close to the
VIEWPOINT
trunk that the trees stability has been severely compromised. Another storm like the one we had in 2005 will likely bring down most of these trees (as it did a dozen or so back then) and damage homes, cars or worse. It is the boards fiduciary responsibility to keep the community safe by taking reasonable precautions to avoid such foreseeable disasters. The board has read the city staffs recommendation and, contrary to the claims represented by Ms. Bennitt in the article, it does not mean that 59 trees will be cut down. The plan recommends that first, all pine trees get pruned to reduce the foliage that could bring down the top-heavy trees in a storm. Second, it recommends that an arborist assess each tree as to its imminent threat to damage in-
frastructure and to remove it if root pruning will compromise its health or stability. (As a side note, root pruning is not an acceptable tree maintenance approach according to the Arbor Day Foundation, the agency that gives Claremont its City of Trees designation). The board indicated that of the 110 trees, no more than 59 would fall into this category but that the actual number of trees removed would likely be half that, according to city staff. The board feels that we need to eliminate the threat of damage to our homes and begin planting the trees for the next generation. For every tree removed, a new one will be planted that is more appropriate for the area, or it will be relocated to a more suitable environment. We are confident that the city staff will do everything it can to save the trees, but also help us to keep our community safe and attractive.

OUR TOWN
from the National Science Foundations Partnerships for Innovation program for the project Raman Spectroscopic Platform for Analysis of Volatile Organic Compound Biomarkers. The project aims to establish the key technical innovations for a compact, cost-effective and user-friendly Raman-based platform to analyze organic compounds in the gas phase or in aqueous solution at the point-ofcare or point-of-use for medical, industrial, emergency response and defense-related applications. Mr. Taylor, an associate professor of chemistry at Pomona College, and Angelika Niemz, the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Professor at Keck Graduate Institute, are the co-principal investigators on the grant. Claremont Biosolutions and Tanner Research, in Monrovia,
are also part of the research team. Pomona students Alexandra Antonoplis (14) and Constance Wu (14) are currently working on the project, and the grant includes research funds for 2 students each of the next 2 summers.
Local scholars acknowledged by Rose-Hulman Institute

Three Claremonters have made their way onto the winter quarter deans list at the Rose-Hulman (RHT) Institute of Technology in Indiana. These distinguished local scholars include juniors Ryely Moore and Marcel Snijder van Wissenkerke and senior Theodore Swartz, all mechanical engineering students. RHT has one of the most highly regarded engineering programs in the nation. To make the deans list, students must receive at least a 3.3 grade point average.
Claremont colleges professors nab science grant

Pomona College professor Charles Taylor is part of a research team recently awarded a $599,858 grant
ince 1990, the Claremont Interfaith Council (originally the Claremont Ecumenical Council) has sponsored events that have become part of the social fabric of our community, including the annual Thanksgiving prayer service, the Good Friday service and the baccalaureate service at Claremont High School. Members of the council have joined together in supporting causes that combat homelessness, AIDS and hunger, as well as promoting tolerance, world peace and bringing light to social issues. Members of the Claremont Interfaith Council are representative of the citys diverse religious community. The current president is Ron White, president of the local stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Mr. White succeeded Rocky Supinger, associate pastor at Claremont Presbyterian Church, who followed Paul Buch, the cantor at Temple Beth Israel. The friendship and cooperation among members of the council affirms that people of good will and mutual respect can work together for the good of all. We hope to use this column as a platform to demonstrate that people of divergent faiths and perspectives can express their views without diminishing others and that people can disagree without being disagreeable. We invite you to join the conversation, get involved and think about some of the issues facing our community as we seek to come together when many elements of our society seek to push us apart. Collectively and individually, we look forward to contributing regularly to the COURIER in the hope that our varied perspectives will help stimulate constructive dialogue. We feel privileged to be part of a community that honors and respects cultural and spiritual diversity and look forward to making a constructive and positive impact through future columns.

Sandy Hook and a test of faith

by Marcus Dowd
cried twice this weekend. The second time was at the memorial service for a woman whose kindness was limitless. She helped start the program I now chair at our church and, as I sat down for the service, I was out of sorts and unfocused, thinking about where I had to be next. Then her children spoke. I cried so hard, I was afraid I might cause a disturbance.
The first time I cried was the day before at a Bat Mitzvah in Los Angeles for the daughter of an old college friend. As my friend addressed his daughter, he started to break down, and I broke right down with him. My wife and I have a 13-year-old daughter of our own. Im not sure what crying has to do with faith, but I do know I felt better after each service than before I went in. Call it catharsis. Call it process. All I know is I was a mess each time. And all that crying made me remember the last time I cried. My polyglot sister has always been good with languagesher job as a Latin teacher has afforded her great opportunities. Schools have sought her out to start and build programs. She left her most recent job last year but still, that morning, when I first heard the name Sandy Hook, I knew I needed to give her a call to make sure she was all right. I wasnt worried about her as she hadnt taught at the elementary school that was all over news channels, but she had been a high school teacher in the Sandy Hook district. I was a little surprised at how quickly she called me back. Yes, she said, she had been a teacher at the high school and had-
Inter-Faithfully SPEAKING
nt taught any of the children who had lost their lives, though she knew some of the families. I was just starting to relax when she told me she had, instead, taught the shooter. Up to that point, like the rest of the nation, I was in shock thinking about so many children, and their protectors, none of whom I knew. Now I was worried about my sister. Alternately referring to the shooter as autistic and having Aspergers, she spoke in a wavering voice about how she had to teach him, one on one, in one of those trailers separate from the other classrooms, for an entire year before he could be allowed into her classroom wherethough he was still disruptive the second yearhe finally settled into being a good student the third year under her charge. If you ever meet my sister, please dont tell her that I said she was speaking in a wavering voice, shed deny it. Shes never wanted anyone to ask her how she was doing. She is always fine. My sister lives alone and her students have always been most important in her life. When people ask her how shes doing, its almost like theyre insulting her. Besides, no one ever need ask about her devotion to her lifes work; all one has to do is take a look at the results. Former students are doctors and lawyers and NFL players. And the devotion she showed to helping the shooter did not go unnoticed by his mother, who befriended my sister. When the shooters parents went through their divorce, the only thing they fought over was the Red Sox season tickets. And so it was that the shooters mother took my sister to Red Sox games; and my sister repaid the mother in kind, taking her to Broadway showssomething my sister and I were often lucky enough to do growing up in New Jersey. Her living alone worried me. I wanted to make sure my sister had someone to talk to about all this. Obviously, it was a lot to take in. Never mind that she knew some of those families who lost children on that day. She knew the shooter. She had been friends with the mother. When the initial reports came out identifying the shooters older brother as the culprit, my sister said she screamed in her classroom, in front of her kids. She had taught him, too. She told me that the older brother could not have done such a thing, that he was a gentle human being. I could hear the confusion in her voice. Why? she asked. How could anyone do this? How could she have those guns in the house? Why do those guns exist at all? What is wrong with us? My sister loves my children, her niece and nephew, but shes had enough experience with kids and their parents to ask a haunting question. Have your children ever done anything that kept you awake at night? It caught me off guard. Of course, I answered. Then she asked how the shooters dad was ever going to get to sleep again. I told her I didnt know. Again, I was crying. All I wanted was to be able to answer her questions. My sister, who lives alone and needs protection. My sister, who has devoted her life to her students. My awardwinning sister, who has had articles written about her and her outstanding works n the local papers. My sister, a guiding light, a mentor, a teacher to so many over the years. She has so many reasons to be proud and so many students she has shown love. But her brother cant help worrying about her. I hope that she is able to put aside this one troubled student and find compassion. She cant forget him, of course, any more than she can forget about an entire town one where she spent 10 years teaching Latin to its sons and daughters. Virtually all of them will go on, or have gone on, to the rest of their lives, better for having known her, as am I. I just worry about her. And I try not to cry.

Biking proves to be age elixir for Claremont senior
laremont resident James Jim Beasom III woke up on SENIOR the morning of his SPOTLIGHT recent 90th birthday and did what he has done nearly every day for more than a decade: He embarked on a 20-mile ride along the foothills on his bicycle. He finished his exercise before many Claremonters were even out of their beds.
Picking up speed around the local hills has become a staple for the nonagenarian, who was one of the founding members of the Claremont Senior Bike Group (CSBG). The retired surgeon may be growing older, but he has no plan to change his routine. Where some fear age, Dr. Beasom welcomes it. It keeps me young, he said of staying active and riding alongside his CSBG cohorts. All the people I bike with are young, so I never think of myself as old. Maybe he has located the fountain of youth, speculates fellow CSBG founder Larry Scheetz, who asserts that, to him, his cycling friend doesnt seem a day over 60. The most noticeable trait is his youthfulness. He moves and acts like someone much younger, because he takes really good care of himself, Mr. Scheetz said. He golfs a really low score and carries his clubs on his back rather than use a cart, its good for his young bones. Yes, he does still golfand is proud of his ability to hit the ball 220 yardsand is happy to add any skills he can bring to the table for the CSBG. He feels he has found his niche, so much so that if he goes more than a few days off the bike, he begins to go through withdrawals. Its clinically proven, the doctor assures. If I go 2 or 3 rainy days without it I feel very edgy and uncomfortable, he explains. Finding his stride Growing up, Dr. Beasom wasnt much of an athlete. He was agile, but he admits he didnt even make the cut

to play on his high school football team. When he made the decision to pursue a career in medicine, he all but kissed any potential athletic prowess goodbye. I never had the time, Dr. Beasom said. I always worked 60 to 70 hours a week when I had my practice. It wasnt even until age 60 that Dr. Beasom started to bike. He was enjoying a day at the beach with his wife, Tracy, when she suggested they rent a couple of bikes and ride along the coastline. He obliged. We rented one of those old rickety bikes and she en-
joyed it so much, Dr. Beasom recalled. A doting husband, Dr. Beasom found a way to nurture his wifes newfound love for biking as a couple. While looking through a magazine, he learned about Eurobike, a bicycling group that travels around Europe. It wasnt hard to convince her. They signed up, bought themselves bikes and started training. To date, Dr. Beasom and his wife have biked most of Europe. Some of their treasured

memories are cycling through small villages in Italy, stopping to rest in old manors converted into lodging for about 15 people, perfect for their bike group. However, those biking trips were only once a year, and Dr. Beasom acknowledged that after returning from his trips, the biking usually petered out. It wasnt until Dr. Beasom was in his 70s that biking took a more serious hold on him. Until that point, he was busy working as a surgeon helping others with their joints. He was, at one time, chief of staff of Pomona Valley Hospital and was also one of the early southern California surgeons to perform artificial joint replacements. Adding biking into his regimen helped him keep up with the long surgery hours. I knew that exercise was important and that biking was an excellent form because its easy on the joints and you can do it at any age, he explained.
As Dr. Beasom cut back on hours at his practice, he began adding more time on the bike. If you want to increase your strength and endurance, youve got to work out and youve got to put in the hours, he said. Youve got to do it forever. You cant quit. The key is in finding the right type of exercise. Some love the gym or the tennis court, but Dr. Beasom found it boring. Cycling was the one sport that kept him engaged, even when riding alone. There is something calming about cruising through the neighborhood, looking at the plants and flowers and trees, and enjoying the breeze blowing on you, Dr. Beasom said. Runners always have this pained expression. While he enjoys riding alone or with his wife, it was an added benefit when Mr. Scheetz proposed that his friend help start a bike group in the late 1990s: I wanted to be able to keep up, he said. It really pushed me.
COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff Dr. Beasom gets ready for the start of the Claremont Senior Bicycle Groups weekly morning ride at the Joslyn Center.
Fellow biker Dorothy Elwell, current president of the CSBG, assures her friend doesnt need much pushing. He outrides me! Ms. Elwell said. He is strong, consistent and delightful. And if we have any medical problems, we have him. Though he is now 90, Dr. Beasom says he hasnt seen his skill level change, mostly because he is consistent with his exercise. The doctor insists other seniors can do the same. The science proves it, according to the doctor. Years ago we thought once you reach 65 your muscle strength goes downhill. Now we know, with exercise, you can maintain your strength well into your 90s. People in their 70s can start to work out and gradually build up strength and do well, Dr. Beasom says, adding, If you dont do something that requires balance, you lose it. Biking is great for stimulating the inner ear and helping with balance.
To this day, Dr. Beasom continues to lead the Monday and Wednesday morning rides with his trademark, Tally ho! And if he isnt there to do it, the group recites it for him, Ms. Elwell says. Theres a ride for everyone, he assures. Dr. Beasom prefers riding with the lower level, but that isnt to say that he is any less equipped to take on the Claremont Hills. Padua and Mt. Baldy Road are regular jaunts. Its about finding whats right and sticking with it. For Dr. Beasom, its a love affair with the bicycle. Going down Mt. Baldy at 50 miles an hour, you just dont feel old, he said with a smile. Thats part of enjoying life, not feeling old. Find out more about the CSBG at www.claremontseniorbikegroup.org.

Botanic Garden shows colors of the wild through art
n order to look toward the future, Claremonts Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden (RSABG) is digging through its past.
After several years of work delving into the gardens archives, staff at the botanic garden present their findings through their latest exhibition Where They Grow Wild, a collection of artwork reflecting the history of southern Californias wildflowers. The RSABG exhibit is one of 3 displays under the greater theme of When They Were Wild, a collaboration with the Theodore Payne Foundation for Wildflowers and Native Plants and the Huntington Library. The Payne Foundation has an accompanying exhibit complementing the main exhibit at the Huntington Library. These original works, some hidden in the dust for more than 100 years, are on display for the first time through June 10. It really is a look back, said Lucinda McDade, RSABGs interim executive director. A look back at the years when the flora of California was first being seriously discovered. Over 300 original piecesillustrations, slides and watercolorsdepict the discovery of early California botanic art, spanning everything from plants of the sea shore and plants of the mountains to the whole flora of southern California, according to Ms. McDade. Illustrations include Milford Zornes local depictions of the flowers of Silverado, and Santiago Canyon as doodled on the field notes of artist and author Clara Mason Fox, never before seen by the public. Though the local gar-
den might not be known for its artistic displays, the staff is looking to change that, showing how the core of RSABGs mission can be found within these artistic gems. Its a very real world application of seeing how our garden is a bridge between research and the public. You see all these illustrations that for a very long time were only seen by scientists and botanists and now they are on display for the public, said garden spokesperson Pauline Nash. I think thats really important for conservation efforts. Digging through the archives to piece together the art exhibit proved to be a significant challenge. For one thing, there is no one file for botanic art within any one of the botanic gardens. Some of the pieces, like Ms. Mason Foxs illustrations, are filed along with other field notes in the herbarium. Others are unaccounted for. This has been years in the making, said Bart OBrien, co-curator and RSABGs director of special projects. We are just giving them their due, albeit 100 years too late in many cases. The idea for the exhibition sprang from a meeting in 2006 between Mr. OBrien and John Wickham, president of the board for the Theodore Payne Foundation, cultural landscaper Carolyn Bennett and eventually with Jim Folsom, director at the Huntington. We all knew about these various collections that were

just kind of sitting around that nobody paid any attention to and really werent getting much of the respect they deserved, Mr. OBrien said. We really wanted to bring attention to them in the hopes of locating more. While it took years to get off the ground, the efforts are now paying off. Since work began on the exhibition for the Huntington, Mr. OBrien says they were contacted by a variety of different groupsthe Los Angeles Museum of Natural Art and the Thacher School in Ojaiwith botanic art collections to be donated to the cause, resulting in an even greater venture than they had initially hoped for. With an abundance of art, they decided not to limit the display to the Huntington, with the Theodore Payne and RSABG hosting displays to compliment the main exhibit. You can sort of look at this as a miniature of Pacific Standard Time, explained Mr. OBrien, referring to a collaborative series of art displays organized by the Getty last year. RSABGs exhibit is an expansion of the Huntingtons display with a focus on the history of the local botanic garden, according to Ms. McDade. RSABG moved to Claremont from Orange County in the early 1950s to affiliate itself with the Claremont Consortium and, in particular Pomona College, which was introducing a masters degree in botany. Much of the RSABG exhibit displays work commissioned and published by Phil Munz, former dean of Pomona Colleges botany department and former executive director at the Garden. His publications feature works of a variety of artists, many of whom were his students, filed within the gardens archives and herbarium. Clara Mason Foxs works, several of which are on display at RSABG, are a particularly exciting find for the botanic staff as many of them were buried within the herbarium. Its like finding a misshelved book in a very, very large library except that its actually much harder, Ms. McDade explained. Books advertise where they ought to be on their spine. Herbarium specimens are not filed like that. So its pure chance, really, when we find something. Another highlight for Ms. McDade is located upstairs from the main exhibit. RSABGs display begins in the Gardens gallery and continues upstairs in the library with Wild in Print, featuring yet more botanic art, such as North American Wild Flowers by Mary Vaux Walcott. While a few prints are on display outside the library, a copy of the book is within, with a special note written by the author in 1926: With best wishes for the success of the wild garden. Another notable feature of the librarys display is an assortment of original glass lantern slides by Lustin Martindale from the 1930s. Mr. Martindale would capture images of wildflowers and other plants in black-andwhite and hand paint each slide. At that time, the 7-by11 slides sold for $2, the 11-by-14 for $3.50. When They Were Wild and its accompanying displays may only be shown through the beginning of June, but garden archivists are working hard to ensure the collections do not sit in the dust for another 50 years. All of the prints, and more, can be viewed in a virtual exhibit found on the RSABG website at www.rsabg.org. Local plants are always given short shrift as people go for exotic plants instead of looking at the options within their own backyard, Mr. OBrien said. Its important for us to bring about peoples awareness that California has this amazingly beautiful flora that most of us just take for granted or never go out to see. This [exhibit] is about promoting an awareness and appreciation. When They Were Wild displays can be found at RSABG (1500 N. College Ave., Claremont), the Huntington Library (1151 Oxford Rd., San Marino) and the Theodore Payne Foundation (10459 Tuxford St., Sun Valley) now through June 10. RSABGs gallery exhibit is open Friday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and in the garden library, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Viewing is free with garden admission, priced at $8 for adults, $6 for those 65 and older as well as students, $4 for children 3-12 and free for members and children under 3.

Newsflash! Student singers mob Claremont plaza
n afternoon that looked like any other in the plaza in Claremonts Village West turned decidedly musical on Sunday, March 17 as children from across the Claremont Unified School District erupted into song.
The seemingly impromptu interpretation of Louis Primas Sing, Sing, Sing (With a Swing)the vocal equivalent of the dancing flash mobs gaining steam through the power of social mediawas actually the result of weeks of preparation. Music teacher Donna Marie Minano, who taught it to the kids of Sumner and Mountain View, picked the song. Music teachers Christina Harrell (Oakmont), Charlotte Van Ryswyck (Vista), Edris Boyle-Kuzia (Sycamore) and Lisa Pettygrove (Condit/Chapparal), likewise instructed their students in belting out the 1936 classic. The melodious outburst was planned to spread the word about the importance of the mission of the Claremont Educational Foundation (CEF), which is to fund music in local elementary schools at a time when budget cuts have spurred the demise of music programs across the nation. CEF, a volunteer-driven community nonprofit, also helps fund art at CUSD elementary schools as well as technology at El Roble Intermediate and Claremont High Schools. CUSDs first flash mob was the brainchild of CEF president Ken Corhan, who thought the gleeful gimmick would be a great way to share the fruits of the local public school music program with the community. The credit for getting the event off the ground, however, goes to the organizational skills of Ms. Minano, Mr. Corhan emphasized. They say genius is one percent inspiration and 99

percent perspiration. I had the one percent and she had the 99 percent, he said. Flash mob participant Audrey Sinsky, a second grader at Sycamore Elementary School, said she was excited about the event but experienced a close call. I almost missed it because I went to watch my uncle run in the LA marathon, she noted. Condit third grader Nellie Beatty was another of the dozens of studentsmany clad in green in acknowledgement of St. Patricks Dayto enjoin the crowd with the songs catchy refrain: Sing sing, sing, sing. Everybody start to sing...Now youre singing with a swing. I liked it. It was really fun, she said, noting that she was taught to sing by Ms. Pettygrove. By contrast, Monique Lilka, a Sumner student
characterized as a bit shy by her mother, described bursting into song in public as very weird. However, she had good things to say about her afterschool chorus instructor. Ms. Minano is very kind, and she has a nice voice, Monique said. The plaza, packed with patrons of the surrounding eateries and shops as well as with the student performers families, was a hub of activity during and after the sing-off. Several young children in attendance took advantage of the hot day to splash in the plaza fountain. Meanwhile, Mr. Corhan and his CFF crew manned a booth where they dispensed information about their organization as well as snacks like fruit gummies for the kids. Of course, they urged people to participate in the 2012-2013 Toyota Prius Car Raffle. Those interested in supporting CEF have until approximately 2 p.m. on Friday, April 21, 2013 to buy

tickets for one of the nonprofits biggest annual fundraisers. Tickets, which are $20, are being sold by members of the CEF board and at various locations in the Claremont Unified School District, including the school offices at Chaparral, Condit, Mountain View, Sumner/Danbury, Oakmont, Sycamore and El Roble schools. You can also buy raffle tickets from members of
the Claremont High School Speech and Debate Team and from members of the CHS classes of 2013 and 2014 as well as from the CHS Cheer Team (also available at City Hall), with a portion of ticket sales benefiting the student groups. Those 18 and older may purchase as many tickets as they wish. If less than 1,000 raffle tickets are sold, the Grand Prize winner will receive $10,000 rather than a Prius. This is the third year in a row Claremont Toyota has donated a Prius to be raffled off by CEF.
A representative of Claremont Toyota will randomly draw a winning ticket at about 2 p.m. on April 21 at the showroom of Claremont Toyota (508 Auto Center Dr. in Claremont). You do not have to be present to win. For information, contact the Claremont Educational Foundation at 399-1709 or info@ClaremontEducationalFoundation.org.

he sixth stop on this years Claremont Community Foundation Party Parade was one to remember!
Arriving at the beautiful Padua Hills Theatre, we were dazzled by the spectacular panoramic Claremont views. Strings of twinkling lights and lanterns in the trees added a whimsical vibe to the venue. Stuffed leather dog mannequins lent by Petco and elaborate dog topiaries lent by the LA County Fair stood watch from various locations. Tables were covered in houndstooth fabrics and all of the helpers wore hats of the same -themed material. From the food to the entertainment, the overwhelming theme was dogs! We first made our way to the silent auction table where many Claremont artists including Laura Barnes, Amanda Huynh and others showed their generosity and love for pooches by donating dog-themed art. We then indulged in the amazing spread of tasty treats. Food for the event was donated by local eateries including Applebees, Casa de Salsa, Darvish Restaurant, Delhi Palace, Eureka!, Spaggies, Espiaus, The Press and more. Most of the food was served on dog Frisbees and, later in the evening, large dog bowls were handed out for an ice cream social. In addition to the delicious food inside the Padua Hills Theatre, The

As we were leaving the pound, we ran into Liisa Primack, the chairman and coordinator for the nights festivities. Ms. Primack was dressed in full doggy attire, sporting a Labrador skirt instead of the classic Poodle skirt because she and her family raise Labrador seeing-eye dogs. So who better than this dog-lover to create an entire night dedicated to canines? Ms. Primack explained that the inspiration for the event came from a desire to celebrate local Claremont culture. Securing the Claremont band The Dogs was the jumping-off point, Ms. Primack noted, COURIER photo/Jenelle Rensch and the idea grew from there.

57 UNDERGROUND: 300-C S. Thomas St., Pomona Arts Colony. Friday through Sunday, noon to 4 p.m., second and last Saturdays, noon to 9 p.m. 57 Underground features contemporary works by member and guest artists. 397-0218. Through April 27: Two mid-career women artists from the Inland Empire are featured this month at 57 Underground. Mary Hughes has exhibited all over the region, establishing herself as a painter of darkened and elusive dreamscapes, in which forms appear and disappear from behind seemingly arbitrary and random patterns of paint, and recognizable objects move from background to foreground, depending on the viewers focus. Yi-li Chin Ward has had a career notable for her consistent and persistent interpretations of the female form. Ms. Chins paintings are economical of line, and seem not at all that particular. Yet, if one spends the time with them, one sees that they are very particular, and very specific about thought and emotion. Closing reception: Saturday, April 27 from 5 to 9 p.m. Art walk: March 30; April 13 and 27 from 5 to 9 p.m. AMOCA MUSEUM: 399 N. Garey Ave., Pomona. 865-3146.

Fourty years after its first release in 1973, this modern passion play re-imagined into the magnetic Broadway musical by Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber (with lyrics by Tim Rice) and immortalized into film by writer/director Norman Jewison, will be on Laemmle Theatre big screens for one night only, Thursday, March 28 at 7:30 p.m. Set during the week leading up to the crucifixion of Jesus, the film uniquely explores the unasked question: Why did Judas betray Jesus? The film Jesus Christ Superstar travels the terrain of the seduction and challenges of destiny, celebrity, friendship, fear, love, passion and our notions of success and failure. Both Ted Neely who
portrayed Jesus and Carl Anderson who portrayed Judas (in the film as well as on Broadway) were both nominated for Golden Globe Awards for the searing insights they give into the heart and soul of these biblical figures. Released as a single in January 1971, Superstar made it to the top 15. A month later, Helen Reddys version of I Dont Know How To Love Himher first hit singlealso reached the top 15. The recording of the same song from the original show album released as a single in April 1971, also made the top 30. The album spent close to 2 years on the charts, including 3 weeks at number one in 1971. Other number one albums that year included John Lennons Imagine, George Harrisons All Things Must Pass, Janis Joplins Pearl, Carole Kings Tapestry, Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones, and Four Way Street by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.All proceeds of the screening will benefit the Carl Anderson Memorial Scholarship Fund. See www.AgapeLive.com and www.Laemmle.com for tickets. The late Carl Anderson is best known for his celebrated star performance as Judas in Jesus Christ, Superstar on Broadway, in the motion picture and on stages across the country while on tour. His role as the preacher in The Color Purple, his Emmy for Onstage LA, and performances with a host of outstanding artists including Nancy Wilson at Carnegie Hall, are also highlights in the life of this creative artist and openhearted man. Founded in 2004, Agapes Carl Anderson Memorial Scholarship Fund was established to support students pursuing careers in the arts and now assists all Agape students seeking higher education.

Students brush up on creative side with ARToon
tudents at El Roble Intermediate School have found a new way of expressing their opinions through the Claremont Museum of Art course, ARToon, celebrating the comic art style.
For the past 7 weeks, students have been meeting after school to learn and create their own pieces of work to be put on display today, March 22. I want them to feel the sense of accomplishment of seeing it through to the end, said Wendy Kubiak, El Roble art teacher said. This is the thing that is really great, they are taking part in a show that is bigger than just the stuff they do in class. The original idea for ARToon came forward after program director Lori Lama noticed a project had not been hosted for the middle school age since a 2009 Graffiti project. Ms. Lama emailed El Roble to see if there was an interest in having the project and got funding from Curtis Real Estate, Peggy A. Carlson, Wealthcare Capital Management, Inc., and Gould Asset Management, LLC. The contributions bought newsprint paper, 20 x 30 inch sized art boards and special cartooning markers for the students to use. Could we have done this more cheaply? Yeah, maybe, but it is like asking an oil painter to paint with house paint, Ms. Lama said. Yes, you can paint with house paint, but it doesnt yield the same thing. After meeting with Ms. Kubiak and

discussing what they expected from the project, they went forward with inviting artists to the campus to share their background with cartooning. Its almost like a mentoring project, you want to give them an experience that allows them to really step outside of their life into somebody elses shoes and in this instance they were stepping into a cartoonists shoes, Ms. Lama said. The course started with presentations by artists to help get ideas flowing. High School students from the ARTstART program did research on comic strip art going back to the 1800s to share the history of the art form. From there, Lalo Alcaraz, Anne Cleaves and Javier Hernandez each
came in to present their work and how they generate story ideas. They were selected to make presentations to the group about different aspects of being a cartoonist. Using either an interactive activity or a slideshow, different styles from single-panel to multi-panel comics were given and built in class as examples for the students to base their own work. One of these interactive projects was a story builder exercise in which the students came up with ideas and built the story of a lollypop boy and his dog, Gumdrop, being trapped inside a piata. The story was really cute, Ms. Kubiak said. The whole thing was class generated and was really useful to them,
Eighth grader Alex Moreno did a colorful, multi-panel comic strip that shared his opinion on how the United States does not contribute anything but bad television to the rest of the world. The media just is really stupid, Alex said. The opinion I have might be what someone in Australia or France thinks of what America has contributed too. The student work ranged from opinion pieces to sharing a story the students developed all on their own. Another eighth grader, Naya DyarPlace, used a one panel-style to illustrate a cover to a story she has been working on for nearly a year. Her character, Iris, is out to avenge her family after they die in a fire. The image shows a young woman gripping a heart shaped pendant by its chain and letting it dangle as she stares straight with blank eyes. Maybe someone in here will end up being the next Picasso for a future generation or maybe they will decide to go to art school, who knows. Ms. Lama said. It broadens their horizons and lets them know that there are more than their phones, Facebook, and Twitter. The students artwork will be on display in the multipurpose room at El Roble Intermediate School at 6 p.m. tonight. The event is free and open to the public.

Singles play makes the difference in CHS tennis win
he Ides of March provided a warm, sunny day for boys tennis. The Wolfpack took on the Palm Springs Indians in a final tuneup match before league play. Claremont took all but one singles match to win a close one, 10-8.
Claremont came into the season with high expectations following a solid 2012 campaign, during which the Wolfpack were ousted in the second round of CIF. Against the Indians on Friday, the Leahy brothers, Alan and Andrew, led the Wolfpack. Cameron Lorek slotted into the 3rd seed in Claremonts singles lineup. Chaska Yamane provided cover as the alternate for the match. The doubles pairings have been questionable in the last few matches for Claremont, and coach Clint Rees has experimented with his players to find the optimal duo: We lost too many doubles sets in our last match against Troy, so we are still trying to get some experience and continuity there, he said. Rees put Nathan Morgan and Damion Rodgers at the third seed, then put Alex Zhang and Naveen Mohideen at #1, and Henry Diep and Rish Citre at #2. Rees commented on what seemed to be a disorganized lineup. I cant say right now which is our best pairing. Since it is still preseason, I mixed it up a little bit today to figure out which of my guys have the best chemistry on the court. Senior Alan Leahy began the day against Palm Springs #1 seed PJ Keye. After going up 5-1, he allowed Keye 2 games before sealing the set, 6-3. The shock on his teammates faces was apparent, as they wondered aloud how Leahy managed to allow his opponent to get on the scoreboard for the first time all season. Leahy bounced back to win his next 2 sets 6-0, 6-0 against Palm Springs #2 Andrew Nelson, and 3rd-seeded Shahriar Seyed-Emami. Andrew Leahy bested his brother by only allowing a combined one game to his 3 opponents. Freshman Leahy defeated Nelson 6-1, then 6-0 and 6-0. Junior Cameron Lorek was the only Wolfpack singles player to drop a set on the day. Lorek won 6-0 against Seyed-Emami, then 6-2 against Nelson. He then faced Keye, who fought back to 5-5, then won the final 2 games of the set to win, 7-5. Claremont doubles partners Morgan and Rodgers had a strong day. Morgan/Rodgers defeated #3 Indians pairing Jake Stebbins/Jon Frayon in a marathon set, 6-4. They then sealed Claremonts tenth and winning set against the Indians Sigi Gonzalez/Jared Bongcaras. The rest of Claremonts matches were a formality, as Claremont had enough to win by the second round of sets. Palm Springs top doubles team Gil Capistrano and Brandon Reese won all of their sets to provide consolation. The Wolfpacks schedule will likely be easier from now on, as coach Rees made a point of securing early season matches against difficult teams to prepare for another Sierra League title. Our league matches are usually not as tough as our preseason, so it should get easier for us. We have one guy who is out for a little longer, Konrad [Lorek], and Harsh [Rambhatla] who is also not here today. The Wolfpack travels to South Hills on Tuesday to begin league play. Check out Fridays COURIER for an update on that match.

TRUER WORDS WERE NEVER SPOKEN Rep. Michele Bachmann came under fire for her comments at the Conservative Political Action Conference, CPAC, held last week. The Washington Posts fact-checker, Glenn Kessler, gave Ms. Bachmann Four Pinocchios for what he characterized as outrageous accusations made against President Barack Obama, including that the president employs 5 chefs on Air Force One as well as 2 projectionsists to operate the White House movie theater. [The movie projectionists] regularly sleep at the White House in order to be readily available in case the first family wants a really, really late show, Ms. Bachmann related to the CPAC crowd. And I dont mean to be petty here, but cant they just push the play button? A recent book by a Republican lobbyist titled The $1.4 Billion Man was referenced by Ms. Bachmann, who also purported that We are also the ones who are paying for someone to walk the presidents dog, paying for someone to walk the presidents dog? Mr. Kessler noted that the White House groundskeeper helps take care of the Obamas dog, just as the same guy has done for every presidential dog since Richard Nixons Irish Setter, King Timahoe. Mr. Kessler also noted that the annual cost of operating the White House during the George W. Bush years was $1.6 billion. Suprisingly, Ms. Bachmann did-
nt mention this in her speech. The whopper of the day, according to Mr. Kessler, was Ms. Bachmanns chastising of the egregious financial waste within the federal food stamp program. She suggests that 70 percent of the food stamp funding goes to bureaucrats. Mr. Kesslers fact-check resulted in his comment, Thats one particularly lean anti-poverty program in which less than 6 percent of the program is spent on administrative costs. As of yet, neither Ms. Bachmann nor her staff have publicly responded. STRANGE BREW Espiaus on Yale Avenue and First Street posted a warning to tipsy drivers leaving their establishment on St. Patricks Day. A sign taped to the inside of the door read, Check point: South on Indian Hill. CLEAN WATER, CLEAN BEACHES MEASURE TABLED The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted 4-1 to table the Clean Water, Clean Beaches Measure after receiving comments from cities, residents and businesses. The Claremont City Council urged residents to write in voicing their opposition to the measure, which purported to raise property taxes. It was projected that 40 percent of the proposed tax returns would go to the city, 50 percent of the fee would be allocated to an appointed watershed authority group established for water quality improvement programs
BACK PAGE
and the remaining 10 percent of the fee revenues would be used by the Los Angeles County Flood Control District for water quality monitoring, research, technical assistance and administration. The LA County Flood Control District already collects fees from residents, some of whom maintained the measure was an attempt at double-dipping. FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS Jurors in the city of Bell corruption trial have reached a verdict in the case against 6 former council members accused of misappropriating public funds. Defendants Luis Artiga, Victor Bello, George Cole, Oscar Hernandez, Teresa Jacobo and George Mirabal, who drew annual salaries of nearly $100,000, were found guilty. They await sentencing.
Defense attorneys claimed that former city administrator Robert Rizzo controlled the city and was the mastermind of the alleged corruption. Mr. Rizzos annual compensation was $1.5 million, with an estimated $650,000 a year expected from CalPERS and more than $1 million a year overall after a second pension from the city of Bell was included. CalPERS, in 2011, cut Mr. Rizzos pension, and that of his assistant city manager Angela Spaccia, after an audit determined that their pensions were improperly inflated, according to the Los Angeles Times. To add insult to injury, Mr. Rizzo had also cashed out 107 vacation days and 36 sick days in one year. The city of Bell, where residents have an average income of $40,000 per year, pay the second-highest property tax rate in Los Angeles County.

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 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 714-573-1965 for information regarding the trustees sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com , using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-12-532042-JB . 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. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale.

Mason was excellent starting from the beginning, to the end of the sale. He was very professional, respectful, had timely good communication, and understood our expectations and difficulties. One great thing is he never pushed us. I would strongly recommend him to my colleagues. We wish him good luck and have no doubt he will prosper.
