Are we angry?
READERS COMMENTS
those trees you so love. I honestly invite you, the Claremont taxpayers, to express how this can and will be done. Wow! I sound angry. Is it the threat to my retirement home property taxes? Is it the improper use of the right of eminent domain? Is it the closed secret meetings? Are you getting angry?

Dear Editor: I used to be very active in political life, back when I was young and had lots of energy and hope. I dont pay enough attention to what is going on around me now, but this is my perspective on the water issue facing me in Claremont. One day, some large landowners in Claremont decided to do something about their high water bills. They could have torn their water-thirsty landscaping out and fixed their leaks, perhaps even removed their huge pools. They could have cared more about deteriorating schools, city property and our failing infrastructure, but they decided on a different course. They got together with some of their friends on the Claremont City Council who held closed meetings (violating the Brown Act?) and decided to attempt to steal a private corporations property via eminent domain and finance the plan by selling many millions of dollars in bonds. All of this is happening without a vote of the citizens of Claremont. I like votes by the people. So, middle-class citizens of Claremont: how can you give a corporation $100 milion to $150 million (Yes folks, it will not be $55 million), hire people to run your newly-acquired water company, (yes folks, it takes lots of money, skill and knowledge of water) and also pay for the coming increases in costs of water because of the drought? I think it can be done with a tremendous increase in your property taxes to pay for it all! And, on top of that, you will still need money to fix your schools, police station, sewer system and, oh yeah, the deteriorating water pipes torn up by age and

City needs more time to update housing element
Tim Harrison, Claremont resident and mortgage broker, stresses how surrounding home values will be negatively impacted by the potential zoning and construction of affordable housing on Mills Avenue. Mr. Harrison and more than a dozen other residents addressed the council before a standing-room only crowd at city hall on Tuesday night.

COURIER photos/Kathryn Dunn Community Development Director Brian Desatnik details the city's Housing Element Update, which is due to the state of California on February 15, 2014. Mr. Desatnik took some heat at Tuesday nights council meeting for the housing update, which includes a high-density zoning overlay for a parcel of land on Mills Avenue that is currently owned by Golden State Water. The inclusion of the parcel was met with resistance by surrounding residents. Finance director Adam Pirrie looks on.
In addition to heeding residents pleas to revisit the housing element plan, council members and city administrators urged the public to take their grievances to the state level as well. Its a program that is out of reach, a program that is out of date and now a program that is no longer funded by the 20 percent set aside that used to be a part of the redevelopment agency, said City Manager Tony Ramos. Its time our state legislators stop holding us hostage, making us go through an expensive program that we really cant comply with. The planning commission will be tasked with restarting the process of identifying land for the housing element update. Among viable options to be reviewed is the newly-vacated Claremont Golf Course, located on Indian Hill Boulevard across from Claremont High School. City officials maintain they will encourage a more open review process and will keep residents abreast of these meetings through mailed notifications and reminders posted on the city website. The COURIER will continue to report on the update as information becomes available. Beth Hartnett

Draft EIR for water system names La Verne as possible operator
hould the city of Claremont acquire its water system, officials might be looking for a little help from their neighbors.
According to a Draft Environmental Impact Report released by the city late last week, Claremont officials are in talks to have the city of La Verne assume responsibility for the WATER citys water system should it be obtained from the current owner, Golden State Water Company. The city does not intend to operate the system and will not create or expand any city departments to do so, the document states. Rather, the city plans to use an outside qualified third party to manage the system. The city has initiated discussions with the city of La Verne to have the city of La Verne Water Department serve as a potential operator of the Claremont System, if acquired by the City. The city of La Vernewith an estimated 31,000 residents as compared to Claremonts 35,000currently operates eight municipal wells, with water serv-
ice spanning approximately 6,100 acres in and around the city borders, according to information provided by the city of La Verne. City Manager of La Verne Bob Russi confirmed Wednesday afternoon that Claremont and La Verne officials have met to explore the possibility of managing Claremonts water system. We have had preliminary discussionsnothing formal that has gone to council, but informal discussions at staff levels, Mr. Russi said. The report, available on the city website, does note that Claremont officials are still reviewing the possibility of other local public water suppliers who may be interested and able to serve as the operator of the Claremont system. As stated in the EIR, these possibilities include the city of Upland, Pomona, the Monte Vista Water District or another private third party operator. The public will be invited to voice its opinion on a potential operator for Claremonts water system at a council meeting in late February or early March, according to Bevin Handel, Claremonts public information officer. The Claremont City Council took its first step toward local water ownership in January 2012, with the
allotment of $300,000 in general reserve funds to explore replacing Golden State Water, the citys current water provider. The journey began six months prior in response to the water companys request for a 24 percent rate increase in 2013 as well as additional, smaller increases in 2014 and 2015. The California Public Utilities Commission later approved a 16 percent increase. The Claremont City Council continued forward with potential water acquisition in November with the authorization of a further $350,000 in city funds to prep financial and legal documents needed for the potential purchase of Claremonts water system, including the Environmental Impact Report now being released. The public is invited to add their input on the EIR and potential water acquisition. Comments may be sent to Brian Desatnik, director of community development, by mail at PO Box 880, Claremont, CA 91711; by fax at (909) 399-5327 or email, bdesatnik@ci.claremont.ca.us. All remarks must be submitted by March 10 at 5 p.m.

CUSD sets informational meetings regarding Common Core

With Common Core Standards being put in place for the 2013-2014 school year, the Claremont Unified School District will be holding informational meetings on various campuses. The parents in the community are invited to attend to
better understand what the standards mean for their children. Common Core is a list of expectations as to what students should know as they advanced through the grade levels. The mathematical standards focus on the importance of mathematical practices matching up with content. The goal being that students not only use memorization to solve equations, but to understand why those steps are needed in order to get a result. Meanwhile, the language arts standards cover literacy in history/social studies, science and technical subjects. The standards aim to illustrate what it means to be a literate person in the 21st
century. Attendees will be given an overview of details of the standards and changes they will bring. Guests will also be able to view sample state assessments and ask questions to understand how the standards will affect Claremont students. The first meeting was held last night at CHS. CUSD will host additional meetings on Tuesday, February 4 at 6:30 p.m. at Chaparral Elementary School and Oakmont Outdoor School at 6 p.m. on Thursday, February 6. Resources and additional information can be found on the CUSD website at www.cusd.claremont.edu.

The men were described as being between the ages of 25-30, both with mustaches and riding bikes. The stolen cameras are valued at about $900. **** Claremont Little League took a hit before the season even started. Last week, two aluminum ladders belonging to the local baseball league were stolen from behind the snack bar at College Park.

A report was taken. Any information should be reported to the Claremont Police Department at (909) 399-5411.
EDUCATION
Prep for Common Core to keep CUSD busy all year
new semester isnt the only change that Claremont and San Antonio High Schools are facing. The two schools highlighted the shifts of their annual Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) reports at the Thursday, January 23 meeting of the Claremont Unified School District Board of Education.
The plans for achievement will SCHOOL have to integrate the new Common Core standards, which were BOARD adopted by the state in 2010 and must take effect this school year. The Common Core initiative, which was brought forward by the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers, aims to provide stability for students who move schools or districts without having to go through major readjustment while, at the same time, defining what students are expected to know by the end of each school year. Implementing the Common Core standards for California public schools is a concern for Claremont faculty, according to David Chamberlin, president of the Claremont Faculty Association. Mr. Chamberlin made a short presentation on the matter at Thursdays meeting, emphasizing that the faculty is not against the change. We want to make that important transition to the Common Core without losing our sense of selfwithout abandoning those things that make Claremont

El Roble bike marathon to benefit Foothill Family Shelter
n preparation for the 37th annual bike marathon at El Roble Intermediate School, students are asked to attend tryouts on Tuesday, February 4 or Thursday, February 6 at 2:45 p.m. at the schools track. El Roble students may get more information during school hours at opportunity time on February 4 and 6 in the dance studio.
The bike marathon is scheduled to begin at noon on Thursday, May 8 and end on Friday, May 9 at noon. El Robles Bike Marathon began 37 years ago when several El Roble teachers and students wanted to raise money for a Claremont charity. The bike marathon is a 24-hour event that involves approximately 90 students, eight core chaperones and a number of additional parent and staff volunteers. There are two ways students may participateeither as riders or counters. Students are placed in teams of one rider and one counter. Regular breaks are offered throughout the 24-hour period to allow participants an opportunity to eat, rest and sleep. Riders and counters are asked to collect $100 each in pledges, with this years funds going to Foothill Family Shelter. Visit the FFS website at www.foothillfamilyshelter.org to discover the many services this organization provides to local families. For information on the bike marathon, email Heather Lyn at hlyn@cusd.claremont.edu or Cindy Eiland at ceiland@cusd.claremont.edu.
Unified special and unique, Mr. Chamberlin said. As part of his presentation, Mr. Chamberlin presented five guiding points faculty members hope will be considered during the transition. The faculty committed to: develop and monitor an implementation plan for common core with strong teacher involvement; emphasize classroom instruction that focuses on academic skills, problem solving and critical thinking; establish a professional development program that will use expertise of CUSD teachers for curriculum; prioritize resources and professional support; and foster an educational culture prioritizing student learning. To help the transition, CUSD faculty requested consultants to facilitate the development of curriculum to go along with the new standards. Bridge Works Group will be assisting the social studies teachers, while Corwin Press will be helping English and language arts teachers. The teachers have requested substitute teachers to cover their classes while they attend the meetings. The CUSD school board unanimously approved the contracts between Bridge Works Group and Corwin Press. In a previously held meeting, the board had approved approximately six to seven Common Core training days for district faculty, according to Bonnie Bell, CUSD assistant superintendent for educational services. Funding for Bridge Works, who will provide science and social science training sessions, is $2000 a day, not to exceed $12,000, for a total of six sessions. For Corwin Press, who will provide English language arts curriculum development, the board approved a maximum of $6,325, or one day of training. The first Common Core development meetings took place January 28 and 29. All future dates will be scheduled as needed between the consultants and the teachers.
increase the number of Hispanic students that scored proficient for the language arts test, Mr. OConnor reported. I believe that is partially because the definition of approving isnt entirely accurate or appropriate. It has something to do with students getting advanced or proficient test scoresI think the more appropriate measure is seeing how to get student out of those bottom groups, board member David Nemer said. Some of the schools action items for this current year include the continued improvement of socioeconomic disadvantaged students in math and English language arts, increase parent involvement, provide professional growth for common core and improve achievement for minority students overall. CHS plans to continue offering practice tests and office hours to help continue raising the number of students who score proficient or higher.
SAHS elated with attendance, seeks more parent involvement

tudents cannot learn unless they are in the classroom, which is why the faculty at San Antonio High School were so encouraged during the Thursday, January 23 Claremont Unified School District board meeting. With the attendance goal set at 95.5 percent, they surpassed the goal with a 97.2 percent rate last year. However, being a continuation school, they also announced their mobility rates increased to 85 percent. This rate describes the rollover of students that just pass through rather than stay throughout the year. I just wanted you to get an image in your mind...its high compared to other schools. The students you start off with wont be the students you end up with at the end of the year. But that is the kind of challenges you get, Sean Delgado, principal of San Antonio High School, said. Mr. Delgado reported that while San Antonio met the goal they set in passing the sciences, they missed goals for subjects like geometry, world history and math by an average of three percent. He credits this to the difference of one student since the high schools population is small. He made sure to thank the staff for all of their hard work in getting that close. The most significant goal that is currently of focus is parent involvement. School site council president Maggi Mendoza made a passionate presentation about the importance of reaching out to the parents and community. Ms. Mendoza described her own experiences interacting with parents as nearly nonexistent. This year, to help them reach their goal of increased parent involvement, she has taken the time to personally reach out to parents on open school nights and by sending out a newsletter in both English and Spanish. The attention the faculty has provided for the students has many of them buckling down to get the grades to graduate. A San Antonio student who was in attendance shared her story of watching her friends go from constantly in trouble to constantly studying. During their presentation, Mr. Delgado shared that San Antonio puts in more teaching hours than is required by California. These extra hours come in the form of Saturday school, a program set up as a disciplinary requirement or a way for absent students to come in and make up work. Mr. Delgado has had students volunteer for Saturday school in order to have a school environment to work. English teacher Melissa Salter shared that the staff is proud of their teamwork and how well they work together to benefit the students. San Antonio will continue to offer Saturday school and are looking to start a merit program to continue to encourage their students.
Claremont High School continues to focus on scores

HS announced that their Academic Performance Index jumped by 17 points from their 2012 score. The number is based on a schools California State Testing and CAHSEE. CHS Principal Brett OConnor credits this jump with the hard work the teachers have been putting in with the Professional Learning Communities (PLC) in place at the school. A PLC is a group of educators that work together regularly to share expertise and work collaboratively to improve their teaching skills. The goals that CHS met last year include the improvement of socioeconomic disadvantaged students scores in both math and English language arts, Hispanic students in math and overall improvement in geometry. Subjects that were not met included improvement of English language arts for Hispanic students and Algebra 1. However, the school did

Whats wrong with being right? Just ask a lefty

By Mellissa Martinez
wight D. Eisenhower famously said, Extremes to the right and to the left of any political dispute are always wrong. Although he certainly had a valid point, most of us are hard pressed to admit itin all divisive issues, liberals and conservatives see things differently.
LEX
IN THE
According to liberals, they unite, while conservatives divide; they celebrate diversity, while conservatives fear it; and they favor the common person, while conservatives favor the wealthy. Conservatives, not surprisingly, have an entirely different take on the matter. They promote personal responsibility, while liberals run from it; they respect tradition, while liberals disrespect it; and they promote healthy values, while liberals lack morals. Conservative comes from conserve, meaning to protect from loss or harm. It was derived from the past participle of the Latin conservare to keep intact, preserve or guard. Its Proto Indo European root, *ser, to protect, led to relatives reserve, preserve and observe. The word liberal, came from liberalis, noble,
CITY
gracious and generous. Its root word, liber, free, generous and unrestricted also led to liberate, deliver and liberty. The Proto-Indo European root of liber, *leudh-ero meant belonging to the people. With all of these positive qualities, how can either party be perceived as wrong? Right comes from the Old English riht, meaning just, good, fair. This concept of correctness still exists in its many meanings today. It can mean that which is morally correct, an entitlement, or to restore something to its correct (upright) position. Up until the 1100s, the Old English word for the right hand
was swipra meaning stronger. In the beginning of that century, people began to refer to the stronger hand as the correct choice, or the right hand. The use of right and left for direction, sides and location later emerged out of our existing names for the hands. The use of right and left for conservative and liberal came to us from location. During the French Revolution, seating in the legislative assembly was arranged based on political affiliation. To the right of the king (in the right wing) sat the conservative members who backed him and believed in a constitutional monarchy. To his left sat the liberal radicals who wanted to install a completely democratic government. Eventually, the terms right and left as political affiliations spread to Britain and the US. Of these terms, left has suffered greatly due to rights superiority complex. Given that the right hand was strongly favored, the left hand was considered deviant. In other words, if you were using a hand that wasnt established as the correct choice, there was something wrong with you. Some believed that if a person used his left hand, he was perhaps maimed. Even the Latin word for left, sinister, took on the meaning of prompted by malice or ill-will. The Old English word lyft literally meant weak or foolish. Of course, left-handed people were in a bindthey were forced to change dominant hands or suffer the social stigma of being different. To avoid the negative and superstitious associations, many languages developed euphemisms to replace the word. Left was replaced in Old English by winestra, which meant friendlier and in Greek by aristeros, the better one. Even today, we soften it by using expressions like lefty, goofy and south paw. Despite their historically low social standing, it is interesting to note that four of the last seven presidents (from the right and the left) have been left-handed! The next time you shake hands with a person who subscribes to a different political ideology from you, keep something in mind: although left and right for direction, limbs, sides and politics feel distinctly different, they all come from the same placelocation, location, location.

ple. We do not have our own water supply. We pilfer water from valuable ecosystems such as the Sacramento Delta and the Colorado River, we are destroying these extremely valuable riparian ecosystems so we can keep our lawns green and waste water as if it is plentiful. We are living under an illusion that we can turn on a faucet and the water will flow forever. At what point will we stop being ignorant and selfish about water, and start to understand what is really going on with our water supply. More houses equals more and more water use. How can we ethically afford to pilfer more water? Please, let us leave this land alone. Let us leave this scarce parcel to all the innocent creatures that now inhabit it. Lets respect this land and treat it with regard. The choice is obvious; no more building. I could go on and on, but I think you get the point. Thanks for reading, I hope you did!

Dear Editor: I am a resident of Claremont (have been for 30 years now), and I am writing to give my two cents about this proposed housing project on Mills Avenue. Just as an added side note, I teach AP Environmental Science at Walnut High School, and I consider myself an environmentalist. I would like to start with a quote from Edward Abby that I feel applies to this situation, and what is happening with Claremont, in general: Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell. To me, this quote sort of sums it all up. The undeveloped ecosystems in our city are becoming a scarce commodity. Did you know that intact ecosystems are our life support systems? They provide us with oxygen, carbon sequestration, habitat, nutrient cycling, prevention of erosion, pollination, water recharge, and the list goes on. Why are we even remotely willing to destroy even more ecosystem? Sure, short-term gain, but what about the long-term? Native peoples teach that every decision that will impact an ecosystem should be considered 7 (seven!) generations into the future, thats like 175 years. Forethought, people! This land houses many species. This land acts as a water recharge zone, dont know what that is? Look it up! This land provides for nutrient cycling, this land provides vital habitat for pollinators and top predators (hawks), this land is home to an underground water supply. In addition, and probably most importantly right now, the state of California is in an official drought. Southern California is a semi-arid climate, peo-

Be Perfect receives sizable donation

Staff members and clients join the Hargrave family and Claremont Club CEO Mike Alpert in accepting a $25,000 donation from Accurate Colors to the Be Perfect Foundation and to Project Walk, Claremont. The donation came from longtime friends of the Hargraves, Jeff Perry, his daughter Michelle Briscoe and her husband James, who run Accurate Colors, a painting contractor. Be Perfect started the Project Walk franchise at The Club a year ago. It has since grown to 40 clients and will begin construction on an expansion to double the floor space.
Voting Rights Act

Dear Editor: Representatives James Sensenbrenner (R-WI), John Conyers (D-MI), Bobby Scott (D-VA), John Lewis (DGA), and Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT) introduced common sense legislation that would repair and restore the Voting Rights Act. This bipartisan effort to fix the damage done by the US Supreme Courts decision in Shelby v. Holder is necessary to restore and protect the rights of voters across the country. The League of Women Voters of the Claremont Area urges all residents to relay support of the Voting Rights Act to congress. Support of this important legislation needs swift congressional
action to move toward final passage. Restoring the Voting Rights Act is common sense policy that will help prevent racial and language discrimination in our elections and protect the fundamental right to vote for all Americans. The legislation will modernize the Voting Rights Act and better protect all voters against discrimination at the ballot box.
Congress can pass this legislation this year and ensure that the electoral process is free, fair and accessiblebut they need to know that you have their backs. Tell Congress that the Voting Rights Act needs to be repaired and restored this year.

Project Champion has students running for gold
ista del Valle Elementary and Oakmont Outdoor School are helping students focus on character building. Both schools are participating in Project Champion in connection with two-time Olympic medalist Bryan Clay.
The project has students working towards walking, jogging or running 100 miles by the end of the year, while learning about the traits that define a true champion. At the end, they are asked to write about what traits they exemplify. Mr. Clay and David Stewart, principal of Vista del Valle, sat down to talk about building project champion around the students of the Claremont schools two years ago. [Bryan] had been talking about starting his own running club for years. As part of his foundation he wanted to make it about more than just running. There is a lot more to life than just being a good athlete and he really preaches that, Mr. Stewart said. The Claremont schools became part of a pilot program showing how students could benefit from both a mental and physical challenge. The 10 traits Mr. Stewart and Mr. Clay decided to focus on were: ambition, courage, determination, humility, respect, discipline, perseverance, integrity, confidence and patience. The attributes were then divided in half so the students could focus on five per year. Every morning Mr. Stewart will remind students of the theme for the month and share a quote in relation to the trait. They will write in class about what they believe the quality means and its significance. While thinking about incentives for the students, Mr. Stewart mentioned the 100-mile clubs awards as students finished various milestones leading up to

100 miles. When Mr. Clay heard that one of the major milestone awards was a pencil, he remarked that he would be pretty mad if he just got a pencil. Now students are rewarded medals, just like the real Olympic athletes. The 25-mile mark still rewards a T-shirt, but now students receive a bronze medal for 50miles, a silver medal for 75 miles and a gold medal for 100 miles. At Vista del Valle, trimesterly assemblies are held to recognize students as they complete milestone markers throughout the year. However, Mr. Stewart finds he will often need to hold

impromptu ceremonies so the students do not have to wait for recognition of their accomplishments. At the end of the year, both schools host a master ceremony to recognize not only the students that completed 100 plus miles, but also the best writers in the respective grades. Mr. Clay will visit the school to share his story of becoming an Olympic gold champion and place the gold medals around the necks of the students being honored. The promise of recognition has some students pushing themselves to go beyond the needed 100 miles. At Oakmont, two fifth graders have already hit 85 miles. Last year they had a little over 150 miles documented and were recognized for their achievement in
They have been running, walking and jogging not only for their set time but also during lunch. They both take it very seriously and are excited to achieve those milestones, Principal of Oakmont Outdoor School Stacey Stewart said.
Ms. Stewart says she is blown away by how committed the students are to the program. In one of the transitional kindergarten classes at Oakmont, there is even a five year old who has completed 35 miles on his own and is still going. With the theme for January being determination for Oakmont students,
COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff School volunteer Carol Weldon takes a lap count card from a Vista del Valle student recently during an exercise break at the south Claremont school. In collaboration with Principal Dave Stewarts friend, Olympic gold medalist Bryan Clay, the school has embarked on a new physical fitness challenge called Project Champion, which seeks to develop the students character along with their bodies. In addition to running miles, the students will learn the 10 traits of a champion: respect, integrity, discipline, perseverance, confidence, humility, courage, ambition, patience, and determination.
Ms. Stewart has had constant reminders that the assembly to recognize their classmates still needs to be planned for this month. This project allows the students to see more of the whole healthy body, healthy mind push leading to a happy
mind. They are discovering that there are different ways they can achieve success and it gives a different outlet to our kids, Ms. Stewart said.

Lewis W. Snider
CGU political science professor, outdoorsman
Lewis W. Snider died on January 27, 2014. He was 74. He was a professor of political science at Claremont Graduate University for 35 years before his retirement in 2010. Mr. Snider received his bachelors degree in languages with a focus on Arabic from Portland State University in 1964. As he continued his education, he pursued his masters in international politics from John Hopkins University, graduating in 1966, and in 1975 received his PhD in political science from the University of Michigan. Mr. Lewis taught courses that covered foreign and defense policy, international political economy, Middle East politics, political risk analysis, comparative politics and comparative institutions. His research was focused in two areas: on the Middle East, in particular on the negotiations between the Palestinians and the Israelis, and on the political causes of financial crises in third world countries. Mr. Lewis was well published in both areas. During the first gulf crisis and the war for Kuwait, he was frequently a Middle East political consultant and commentator on NPR and Fox News in Los Angeles. He founded the Dr. Lewis W. Snider Single-Parent Student Fellowship in 2004 at Claremont Graduate University.
OBITUARIES
The $100,000 endowment provides funding for single-parents who wish to return to school. He was much beloved by his students, who he cared about, never failing to support and encourage them towards their academic and life goals. He was an avid bodybuilder and enjoyed hiking, mountain biking and skiing the black-diamond slopes at Mammoth Mountain. Mr. Lewis is survived by his wife Dalel and step-sons, Juan Carlos and Miquel Campero. A memorial service will be held at 10 a.m. on Saturday, February 1 at the Cornerstone Bible Church on 400 N. Glendora Ave. in Glendora.
Frank Rice
Frank Rice died at his home on January 13, 2014 after a massive heart attack. He was 34. Mr. Rice was born on March 1, 1979 to Barbara Rice. He grew up in La Mirada, graduating from John Glen High School in 1997. His move to Claremont came after he married the love of his life, Naomi Raef. The city quickly became his home. Mr. Rice was born with Osteogenesis Imperfecta also known as brittle bones. This kept him confined to a wheelchair for
Adoring husband, explorer

his entire life. However, it did not stop him from getting around and exploring Claremont. His mother-in-law, Joyce Raef, recalled how many times people she knew would stop to tell her about seeing Frank riding around Claremont. He also would venture into parts of Pomona, Montclair and La Verne in his wheelchair. Mr. Rice was a big movie buff, and loved going to the Laemmle in the Village. If a movie was released in a larger theater, he would wait patiently until it came to the Laemmle. Though Mr. Rice and his wife were married only three years, they both knew they had each found their soulmate. Their child is a spaniel mix named Copper whom Frank loved almost as much as his wife. Mr. Rice was preceded in death by his mother, Barbara Rice; his brothers, Kevin, David and Robert; and his sister, Bunny. He is survived by his wife, Naomi; his dog, Copper; mother and father-in law, Joyce and Pat Raef; sister and brother-inlaw, Corrinne and Surya Jayaweera; brothers, John, Danny and Phillip Rice; sisters, Barbie Bondoc, Christina Contreras, Sierra Rice, Senovia Rice, Chantel Pulmmer and Anna Pearson. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews, including Kylee-Anna, Everett and Sorin Jayweera. Mr. Rices memorial was held on January 25, 2014.

Florence Coleman Graubart

Devoted wife, loving mother and grandmother
Florence Florie Coleman Graubart died on January 17, 2014 at Mt. San Antonio Gardens after a long illness. She was 92. Ms. Graubart was born on October 20, 1921 to Henry and Bertha Coleman in the Bronx, New York. She spent her formative years and most of her adulthood in New York City and Yonkers, New York. She graduated from Roosevelt High School in the Bronx and went on to attend secretarial school. She worked as an executive secretary for the Celanese Corporation in New York City. Love entered Ms. Graubarts life at the unlikely age of 13 when she met her future husband, Merwin Graubart. The childhood sweethearts were married in 1941, a year before Mr. Graubart was drafted into the Army. Ms. Graubart and her mother followed Mr. Graubart to various training camps throughout the United States. This included a brief, happy stay in Eugene, Oregon where Mr. Graubart had been selected to participate in the Army Specialized Training Program before being deployed overseas to serve in the European Theater of Operations. During their stay in Eugene, Ms. Graubart worked for the American Red Cross. When the couple was reunited after the war ended, they started a family. They had two children, a daughter, Andrea, and a son, Richard. Ms. Graubart was a dedicated full-time mom, presiding over three generations of her family. An opportunity to re-enter the work force arose in 1968 when Ms. Graubart was offered an executive secretarial position with the Westchester County Mental Health Association. This was a job she enjoyed thoroughly until her retirement in 1977. After she retired, Ms. Graubart and her husband moved to Sun City, Arizona in search of warmer winters. There the couple became ardent fans of the desert lifestyle, a dramatic change from their urban, east coast roots. Mr. Graubart, a licensed clinical social worker, established the Sun Cities Visually Impaired Pro-

gram. His wife accompanied him to most of the meetings, helping with planning and implementing activities, and, as always, made people feel welcome and appreciated. Ms. Graubart is described as a relentless shopper. When she was not out hunting for bargains, she also enjoyed
cooking, reading and traveling. Mr. and Ms. Graubart visited European countries, Mexico, Alaska, the Caribbean, Hawaii and various places in the Far East. Mr. Graubart passed away in 1995. In 2002, Ms. Graubart moved to Rancho Cucamonga in order to be closer to her family. Her family describes her as someone with boundless enthusiasm, always curious about people and possessing a vibrant personality that attracted a new circle of California friends. My mom sparkled. She was my shining light, her daughter said. Ms. Graubart is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Andrea and Jay Labinger of Claremont; her son and daughter-in-law, Richard Graubart and Susan Yavner of Andover, Massachusetts; her granddaughter, Barbara Labinger of San Francisco; and her twin grandsons, Mark and Sam Graubart. Tributes to Ms. Graubart may be made through the Alzheimers Association.
Mary Ellen Day

Loving mother, passionate educator, southern belle
Mary Ellen Noonie Day died on January 25, 2014 in Roswell, Georgia. She was 85. Mrs. Day was a respected elementary school teacher in Claremont for many years. Mrs. Day was born September 14, 1928 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana to Bernadette Keller and John Joseph Copponex. She graduated from St. Josephs Academy in Baton Rouge in 1946. She attended Louisiana State University briefly, but soon married Joseph Farley Day, another Baton Rogue native, in 1946. The couple moved to Bay St. Louis, Mississippi where Mr. Day coached football and wrestling in St. Stanislaus. Meanwhile, Mrs. Day tutored and often cared for the students needing extra assistance. In 1956, the family moved to Pomona in support of her husbands teaching and coaching career. They eventually relocated to Claremont. Mrs. Day stayed home to raise her children while teaching catechism at Our Lady of The Assumption Catholic Church in Claremont. Mrs. Days passion for teaching inspired her to return to college and finish her degree in education. In 1983, she graduated with honors from the University of La Verne, then known as La Verne College. She began her career teaching second and third grade at Condit Elementary School. Many longstanding friendships were with former students and other educators up until the time of her death. She loved her work, she had such a passion for being a teacher. Im sure that every child that walked through her classroom felt loved and she genuinely wanted what was best for them, longtime friend Rosie Boister shared. Ms. Bister described living across the street from Mrs. Day as having a second family. Mrs. Day shared her wisout to her with a Yoo hoo and calling her Darlin as they spoke. Mrs. Day is predeceased by her husband who died in July 2011. She is survived by her daughter and her husband, Mary and Larry Thacher of Johns Creek, Georgia; her son and his wife, Farley and Shari Day of Hendersonville, Tennessee; and granddaughters, Brittany and Hayley Thacher and Jacquelyn, Alexandria and Victoria Day. She is also survived by sisters, Patricia Hannie and Effie Hardy; and brother, Fred Copponex of Baton Rogue, along with many nieces and nephews. A viewing was held Wednesday, January 29, 2014 at Rabenhorst Funeral Home East. A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated at St. Josephs Cathedral in Baton Rouge on January 30, 2014.

Stunt riders wow OLA students at fundraising celebration
ard work with cookie dough sales, gift wrap and other school fundraising activities provided a sweet incentive for Our Lady of the Assumption students this week.
The school kids traded books for backflips as part of a special Madd Gear BMX demonstration on school grounds. Students watched safely, but excitedly from the sidelines as professional riders took to the air, flipping and tucking with precisionto the relief of Principal Bernadette Boyle who bravely played a part in the afternoons stunts. Students worked hard for the hour of entertainment. Tuesdays performance was made possible thanks to proceeds raised for the Parent Faculty Associations Great American Fundraising campaign. This year the student body raked in $12,000 from gift-wrap sales alone, garnering more than $5,100 to help pay for technology and capital improvements at the Claremont private school. After months of fundraising, the afternoon hiatus provided a moment for some well-earned celebrating, and the students did just that. Hoops and hollers could be heard around campus as professional BMX stunt riders pulled out their best tricks for the students entertainment. Its a nice way to bring us all together, and get out of school for a little bit, said eighth grader Anissa Medina, who also serves as the student body vice president. This is the second year the stunt show has visited the Claremont campus to wow students for their stellar sales. In years past the PFA has awarded a limo lunch and other cool prizes for high sales. The BMX show, however, quickly became a staple because of its appeal to the entire pre-K through eighth grade student body. Eighth graders Charlie Baggarly and Peter Raus were eager to see the show for the second time, especially to check out the famous backflip performed by Ricky Macho Man Moseley. Kindergartener Charlie Manoux was equally impressed. He went really high! Charlie exclaimed, noting that he has been working hard on his own bike skills at home thanks to a two-wheeled Christmas present he received this past holiday season. While the fancy air catching moves were a highlight of the day, it wasnt all jumps and tricks. Announcer Dan Hubbard didnt miss a beat in between acts, teaching the students about the reward of hard work and about using words and actions to make a difference. While impressed with the tailspins and other moves, Ms. Boyle made note of the lessons Mr. Hubbard and his team imparted upon her students.
COURIER photo/Peter Weinberger OLA principal Bernadette Boyle showed she was not afraid to be part of the high flying stunt demonstration as BMX rider Ricky "Macho Man" Moseley literally jumps over her with his bike. The event was all part of a celebration for the OLA students after raising thousands of dollars for the school's fundraising campaign.
Shooting to be the best version of oneself is a great message we can all learn from, she said. The high-flying show was just one of many welcome classroom distractions in a fun-filled week for OLA students as they celebrated Catholic Schools Week. The festivities have included a book fair, Special Persons Lunch and a special mass and celebration honoring faculty and staff. Recognized by National Catholic Education Association campuses across the country, Catholic Schools Week is celebrated annually as a way to observe the different values of a catholic education. This year students have taken Mr. Hubbards message to heart, in particular focusing on how their actions through words affect change. For these young learners this meant creating prayer cards for the schools community Thanksgiving meal, writing letters to reach out to former alumni and raising awareness for local charities. Ms. Boyle hopes this weeks out-ofthe-box lesson helps serve as a further launching point. We hope it helps us raise the bar, she said.

February 2 though 28: The Place that Holds Us: Landscapes by Donna Day Westerman, featuring woodcuts, engravings and egg tempera paintings. Artists statement: In my work, everything begins and ends with drawing. I love lines. However, my early facility with drawing was difficult to reconcile with my attraction to color until I rediscovered the medium of egg tempera, a historical technique used by the Greeks as far back as Alexander the Great and also popular during the late Middle Ages. Here, colors are built up from multiple layers of glazes applied as thin crosshatched lines. I can achieve depth and translucency of color while making the same strokes I use in drawing
and printmaking. Opening reception: Sunday, February 2 from 2 to 4 p.m. Art Walk: Open Friday, February 7 from 6 to 8 p.m. BUNNY GUNNER GALLERY: 254 W. Bonita Ave., Claremont.

Through January 31: Fragile includes works in paper and encaustic by Karen Karlsson. Drawing in-
spiration from natures kaleidoscopic palette, Ms. Karlssons monoprints, pastels and encaustic paintings often evoke a sense of serenity and contemplation. Her works dip into abstraction, structure and function, revealing a world built on mathematical shapes that, regardless of absolutes, never quite feels defined. This sense of the unknowable, and the emotion that drives us to understand are always present in her work, from encaustic scars of heartbreak to solitary figures standing alone against the world. Ms. Karlsson is a Pomonabased artist who originally hails from Queens, New York. Her work, which debuted at the Main Street Gallery in Pomonas Art Colony in 2009, has been seen throughout the inland and desert regions of southern California from where her inspiration is drawn; in 2011, she designed her first album cover art for awardwinning Native American flutist Steve Rushingwind.

BP148304 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of VERA M. SCHROEDER, aka MARGARETTE VERA SCHROEDER, aka V.M. SCHROEDER, aka VERA SCHROEDER, DECEASED A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by STANLEY R.

SCHROEDER be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. THE PETITION requests the decedents will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. 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: February 10, 2014 Time: 8:30 A.M. in Dept. 11 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. Petitioner: Stanley R.

Said sale will be made in an AS IS condition, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to-wit: $502,423.76 (Estimated). Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county 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 (714) 573-1965 or visit this Internet Web site www.priorityposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 12-49583. 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.

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-13-598862-BF . 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. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagees Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders rights against the real property only. As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations. QUALITY MAY BE CONSIDERED A DEBT COLLECTOR ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT AND ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, pursuant to the Municipal Code of the City of Claremont and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), that the applicant is proposing to change the land use designation (General Plan and Zone change) for one parcel under the Boyd Family Trust ownership with the applicant for the General Plan Amendment (GPA) and Zone Change (ZC) being CV Urban Land, LLC., (Files #13-GPA02 and #13-Z02). The subject property is an approximately 3.4 acre parcel located at the southeast corner of Base Line Road and Towne Avenue in the City of Claremont with a current General Plan designation Residential Mixed Use and current Zoning as Mixed Use 4. The proposal is for the subject property to have a General Plan designation of Residential 15 and a Zoning designation of RM 3,000. The proposed GPA and ZC would be necessary to allow for a proposed 95-unit residential development encompassing approximately 6.1 acres total (2.7-acres City-owned property eastern portion of development; and 3.4-acres Boyd Family Trust owned property). All of the proposed homes will be sold at market rate, with the exception of thirteen units, which will be reserved as moderate-income housing pursuant to the Citys Inclusionary Housing Ordinance. The above-referenced project would require approval of a Tentative Tract Map (TTM #71420) which would subdi-
vide the property for condominium purposes, as well as the above-mentioned GPA and ZC. The City Council will conduct a public hearing to consider the GPA, ZC, tentative tract map and the associated Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) on Tuesday, February 11, 2014. The meeting will commence at 7:00 p.m., in the City Council Chamber, located at 225 West Second Street, at which time all interested persons are invited to appear and be heard. Following the City Councils decision, a notice will be given for a hearing before the Architectural Commission regarding the projects proposed visual and design characteristics. NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that with the assistance from The Planning Center, City staff has completed an Initial Study on the project in accordance with the Citys guidelines for implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Staff has concluded that the project (Files: TTM #71420, GPA #13-GPA02, ZC #13-ZC02, and Architectural Review #13-A14) will not have a significant effect on the environment with the inclusion of mitigation measures and have prepared a Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND). The public review period for the Initial Study and Draft MND commenced on August 19, 2013, and concluded on September 17, 2013. Failure to file objections to the environmental determination may constitute a waiver of rights to

I can't say enough about Mason's easy-going professionalism. I have worked with many real estate agentsbuying and selling a homesome good and some not so good, but Mason stands above the rest. Although a busy agent, he made us feel like we were his only clients. It is obvious that Mason takes pride in his work and helped us through what has usually been a very stressful process. We were always informed, updated and met personally when needed. There was never pressure, unnecessary stress or unanswered questions. I will recommend everyone I know to Mason! Rosie V.

What Geoffs clients are saying in 2013

The service we received from Geoff was nothing but outstanding. The sale of our house went quickly and was handled very efficiently. We would not hesitate to have Geoff handle any sales in the future and would definitely recommend him to any potential home sellers. Jeff Dills Geoff is the best! We had complete confidence in his recommendations and in paperwork being done correctly. His innovative ideas on a counter-offer were to our advantage in timing and repair work. The whole process was done well, quickly and thoroughly. Everything went better than we had hoped. We are well settled in our new home. Thanks to Wheeler Steffen Sothebys and Geoff for making what could have been a stressful experience into an efficient process. Richard & Carolyn Angus Geoff, thank you so much for all of your work, your help and your guidance. I believe that putting in the extra effort you recommended enabled the sale to a family who wants to live there rather than someone trying to turn it over for a profit. Cathy Bates Geoff was excellent to work with. A pro. Efficient. Former out of area realtor failed us for many months. Discount commissioned brokers have failed our friends in getting them less net proceeds on their sales. College Escrow company was the most competent we have worked with. Rob & Susan Newman Harrison We want to thank you for everything you did to facilitate the sale and to calm us down several times during the process when it appeared things seemed to be going in the wrong direction. Sandy and I feel very comfortable that after we interviewed a number of agents to represent us in the sale that we made the right decision when we selected you. Gene & Sandy Block We first worked with Geoff when we bought our home four years ago with Geoff representing the seller. We were impressed, so when it came time for us to sell the home, Geoff was the logical choice. In short, we made the right choice. He was with us every step of the way through the process and made our job easy. He priced the house right, marketed it right and obtained a very good price in a short time period. We believe he was committed to sell the house, not give it away. We will recommend him to anyone! Bill & Pat Parfitt Thanks Geoff for helping me sell my home of many decades and transition me to my new retirement home, I will always recommend you to my neighbors and friends. Dorothy Garner Excellent job! Meticulous representation! 100% satisfied! Dr. Martin Bauman I work with 500 plus agents a year and Geoff was the best Ive ever worked with! I appreciate all his attention to detail and personal attention to the relocation client. We really appreciated that Geoff works with his clients personally rather than pawning them off to assistants or coordinators, it definitely makes a difference! Susan Lanucha, Sirva Relocation Our sincere thanks for all that youve done to make our new Claraboya home possible. We are extremely grateful. Andrew Jardine & Jenny Darroch
