A PhD for the trees


Dear Editor: I am a relative newcomer to Claremont, one of those retired PhDs who is here largely because of the trees! The wonderful spectacle of beautiful, wellnurtured trees spreading their lush canopies over the roadways displays to all that this is a community that cares about esthetic and environmental values. My interest in the trees eventually led me to join the Tree Action Group (TAG) of Sustainable Claremont, which has recently submitted recommendations for the coming revision of the Street Tree Policy Manual. One of the major areas of our concern has been the topic of proper pruning practices. The citys current manual already includes guidelines for maintaining the natural appearance of our trees by limiting the proportion of a tree's canopy that can be pruned, and prohibiting practices such as topping, which produces trees that are unattractive, unhealthy, vulnerable to disease and forces them to produce unsightly growths of suckers in a desperate attempt to compensate for the loss of crucial food-producing canopy. Unfortunately, trees on private property are not legally protected from such abuse. A very disturbing case in point is the recent macabre spectacle of mutilated sycamores (I think they are...hard to tell

from what's left!) lining the Claremont Clubs parking area on Monte Vista Boulevard, as well as the marvelous large heritage sycamores near the stone clubhouse. Did the Club employ the services of a certified arborist for this project? Im certain that, private property or not, a responsible professional arborist would never have approved such massive overpruning of these magnificent trees. Im also a recent member of the Club, and am disappointed to see that their wonderful concern for the health of their human members does not extend to the health of their trees and their value to the communitys appearance and ecological health. I hope they will see the error of their ways, and not continue inflicting such abusive damage to our treescape.

Big expenditures loom as city holds first budget workshop

ecent talk over looming big-budget expenditures in the city of Claremont was not enough to draw large numbers to the first of two city budget workshops on Monday night.

Participation in the biannual workshops has been historically low with a total 124 respondents, less than one percent of the Claremont population, taking part in person or online in 2012. A majority of those participants were 55 or older. It was the same tune this time around, with only 13 community members showing up to the Hughes Center, only about 3 of which were under the age of 55. Low attendance at the citys budget workshops is not uncommon, Councilmember Larry Schroeder noted. However, with multi-million dollar items on Claremonts wish lista water system acquisition, new police facilities and updated senior center and park among themMonday nights turnout did come as a bit of a shock to the Claremont councilman. We want to get as much community input as possible, and its important to have transparency of government, Mr. Schroeder said. We tried. Regardless of the sparse crowd, the nearly two hour meeting was filled with locals opinions on the citys future spending. Much of the discussion, as expected, centered around residents thoughts on using bond measures to pay for big-budget items like the water system, a new police center and Larkin Park expansion. A majority of those present said they were in support of all three86 percent said they would support a $40 million to $50 million bond for the construction of a new police facility, even if it meant the annual cost for a Claremont resident was $200 to $300. A slightly smaller group (67 percent) said they would support a $12 million to $15 million bond for the expansion of the Joslyn Senior Center, if the average annual cost was $100 to $200. And, while officials claim the city has enough money to afford up to $80 million for a water system purchase, 69 percent of residents said they would support up to $120 million for the acquisition of the citys water system even if the additional monthly cost to a residents water bill was $21 to $31 (86 percent said they would support water system acquisition overall). Also noting the importance of expanding the parking facilities at the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park, Claremont resident Dennis Smith maintained building

a new center for the citys public safety officers and expanding the senior facilities at Larkin Park are his top priorities. If you spend any time at all down at the police department, you know its wholly inadequate. Its not even ADA compliant, Mr. Smith said. As far as the Larkin Park expansion is concerned, Im very adamant about that because over 30 percent of our population currently is in the senior population and that is growing faster than any other segment of the city. In addition to the citys priority projects, Monday nights discussions centered around preparing for costly state requirements such as the newly adopted Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System Permit (MS4). The permit further regulates the treatment of storm water runoff that recedes into the waters of the San Gabriel Valley Watershed, providing for water

conservation among many other benefits. To date the city has no funding source for the MS4 regulations, which have been estimated to cost the city nearly $400,000. Despite the state mandate, residents have turned their sights to more important financial ventures. Let the state give us money to mandate it, said Claremont resident Richard Weiner of MS4. Claremont residents who wish to add their input on the citys 2014-2016 budget still have time. The city will host a final budget workshop at the Blaisdell Community Center (400 S. College Ave.) on Monday, February 10, at 6:30 p.m. Those unable to attend the meetings may participate through the interactive survey on the citys website at www.ci.claremont.ca.us.

The winds that have been blowing through Claremont this week have made for clear skies and spectacular sunsets. Such was the case here when looking west at downtown Los Angeles from Base Line Road in Claremont. Thursday had the best probability for rain with a 70 percent chance, as the high temperature neared 60 degrees. The system will move through the area quickly with drier and warmer temperatures near 70 degrees over the weekend. COURIER photo/ Peter Weinberger

Claremont officials reinvest in areas homeless

ith unanimous approval from the local council, the city of Claremont will continue in its tradition of providing Community Based Organization (CBO) funding to local programming for the homeless.
Every year the city provides financial assistance to local nonprofit organizations providing aid to those in need throughout the local community. Organizations must apply and go through an extensive review conducted by the Community and Human Services Commission. More than $146,000 was distributed to 24 regional outreach groups through 2013-2014 funding. Of that amount, about $60,000 was specifically designated to six organizations providing programs to help the areas homeless. The homeless outreach was added to the existing CBO program in 2007, financially supported by money accrued through the Transit and Occupancy tax generated from Casa 425, according to Kathleen Trepa, the citys director of community and human services. This money is used to help the chronically homeless, assist those without reliable shelter and provide aid to those in risk of becoming homeless. Assistance extends not just to Claremont residents, but also those within the Claremont Unified School District. In 2013-2014, an estimated 435 individuals were assisted through the citys homeless program. The CBO program, however, was called into question in 2012. Council members raised issue with the Friday, January 31 An unknown person decided to drop some groceries off to a resident in the 1100 block of Shepherd Way. However, the goods never quite made it inside the house. The property owner reported a mix of egg, rice, powder, chocolate, toothpaste, ketchup and toilet paper deposited onto the owners car, causing an estimated $200 in damage. There are no suspects. A vandalism report was taken. Saturday, February 1 First responders are still investigating the cause of a Saturday afternoon house fire in the 300 block of West Radcliffe Drive. Police arrived at the home around 4:30 p.m. after reports of a possible explosion and fire on the Claremont street. Officers arrived to find the home fully engulfed. No one was injured, but the home was deemed a total loss. No other structures were damaged. **** A Claremont houseguest received a startle on Saturday when the guest spotted a strange man lurking in the backyard of a neighboring home in the 100 block of North College. Realizing he had been seen, 43-year-old Alex Bosserman of Riverside took off, but not before coming to a stop for police just a quarter mile away. When questioned as to why he was roaming in the backyard of a strangers home, Mr. Bosserman refused to give an answer. He was arrested for prowling. Sunday, February 2 A man was airlifted to USC Medical Center on Sunday night after a significant solo vehicle crash in the Vons Shopping Center. Just before 10 p.m., the man was driving south on Mills Avenue to-

fact that the city had not discussed a cap to funds received by any one organization, as nonprofits should be developing on their own. Consistently giving CBO money to any one nonprofit went against the intended use of the program, Councilmember Corey Calaycay had claimed. It was intended to be seed money, not to keep organizations afloat indefinitely, Mr. Calaycay said at the April 2012 council meeting, also expressing his discomfort with calling the program a grant when given out to the same organizations on a regular basis. To date, the CBO and Homeless Program grant allocation policy has not included any restrictions on the number of years an agency or program can apply for funding. Though time restrictions do not exist, all grant recipients must go through an extensive review process before any funds are released to ensure the programs are operated and the services are delivered consistent to the approved grant, Ms. Trepa noted. Funding is not relinquished until the organization can prove the money was used for its intended purpose. At the citys 2013 priorities meeting, the council directed staff to evaluate the issue of homelessness in the community and how best to leverage the CBO grant funding process to address the needs of the areas homeless. Based on a homeless count conducted last year and other data, it is estimated about 51 homeless people either reside in or originate from the city of Claremont. Fifteen of these individuals14 men, one female and the CBOs current homeless program providers were surveyed by a specialist from Tri City Mental

Health as part of an existing contract with the city. Of those surveyed, 75 percent said they were unaware of local assistance programs or did not have any way to access them. A majority said they would most like help accessing basic shelter (most said they were not comfortable with the local shelter in Pomona). A hot shower and free laundry services also ranked high on their list of needs. Based on information gleaned from the survey, and recommendations past down from the Claremont Community and Human Services Commission, the council renewed its support of funding the local homeless grant program. In addition, the city will maintain its commitment to providing aid not only to the chronically homeless, but those who are at risk of becoming homeless. To aid in that mission, the city of Claremont will continue to support and assist the Claremont Homeless Advocacy Program (CHAP), a local advocacy group geared at providing support to homeless individuals and those at risk. After its Summer To End Homelessness Campaign, CHAP volunteers are refocusing their efforts with sights set on finding or developing shelter and/or affordable housing opportunities. While maximizing local funding opportunities, Mayor Pro Tem Joe Lyonsrepresenting the city of Claremont on the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments committee on homelessnesscontinues to vie for regional support for the city . This is an issue we can never have a simple solution to, Mayor Opanyi Nasiali said. Any means we can find to assist, we welcome that.

When police left, however, Mr. Astutos temper reportedly flared again, this time with the neighbor who had called the police in the first place. Officers returned to the apartment building, where Mr. Astuto was arrested for trespassing, being drunk and disorderly and attempted burglary for trying to break into the neighbors apartment to fight, according to Lt. Ciszek. There was no further issue. Monday, February 3 Police paid a visit to College Park shortly after noon on February to address reports that a man was seen wielding swords. While 33-year-old Gregory Switzer was found practicing his combat skills, his weapons of choice were not swords as reported but, in fact, sticks. Twirling sticks is not prohibited by the Claremont Municipal Code, but an outstanding warrant for being in a park after posted hours landed Mr. Switzer behind bars anyway. Tuesday, February 4 A guest at Hotel Claremont took complimentary TV, coffee and other services a little too literally. The hotel patron took off with the hotel television, coffee maker, radio and iron in tow on Tuesday morning, according to the police report. The guest did, however, leave behind his identification as part of the hotel checkin process. With police conducting a follow-up, he will likely be checking in to a different Claremont facility soon.

Oakmont Owls swoop in for a win at Superbowl


he Oakmont Elementary Owls treaded water with the Sumner Elementary Dolphins before finally taking home the win with a score of 14-7 in the 14th annual Superbowl game held Wednesday at Oakmont. The game is part of the Best Learning After School Time (BLAST) program.

The game started quick with the Dolphins scoring the first touchdown of the game within the first few minutes. But Oakmont was not far behind. Once sixth grader Alex Araneda was passed the ball there was no stopping him. Alex ran from Sumners endzone to score the first touchdown for Oakmont and tie the game for the first half. The game stayed close until the last two minutes. Sumner worked hard to keep the ball from Oakmont but was unable to move up the field. With a minute left, Alex was passed the ball by co-captain Julian Zacarias and scored the second touchdown for Oakmont, pulling them into the lead. Sumner was not going down without a fight. In the last 45 seconds, Co-captain Christopher Lopez got the ball and looked for an opening in the endzone, hoping to tie up the game. Oakmont Owl Alex ran interference and blocked the throw to win the game. It feels great, we played our hardest and played like adults and thats why I think we won, Julian said. Julian made sure to tell his team to never give up and keep trying their hardest even if they were losing. The score last year was like 35-0, I just stopped keeping score at one point. So to have a comeback like this is important to the team, Oakmont Coach Julio Zacarias said. Mr. Zacarias son, Julian, lead the Owls with sixth grader Jonathan Manzo. This is Jonathan and Alexs last time playing for the Owls since both boys will be transitioning to middle school. Both the Owls and the Dolphins had been preparing for the game since the fall. After announcing sign-ups, BLAST students were able to volunteer to play or be cheerleaders for the game. Sumner had teammates from as young as first grade and Oakmont with team members as young as second grade. The most important part of the game is the aspect of teamwork. The kids are learning that they cant accomplish a goal without their team, Oakmont principal Stacey Stewart said. While the games started before site supervisor Jackie Killam took over at Oakmont, she has worked to make the game bigger each year. The Dolphins have been Oakmonts rivals since the start of the Superbowl tradition. As a way to include more students in the game. the Claremont High School Marching Band performed for the half-

During the actual game, the cheer squads from both sides kept spirits high with taunting and encouraging chants for the players. Parents and classmates applauded the players throughout the game. Even though the Dolphins were defeated this year, it did not extinguish their excitement for the game. Since the team started training, veteran Sumner player Christopher has worked to teach the younger children how to play.

Are we one kind of community or the other?


By John Pixley

arl Hilgert, Mary Cooper and Andrew Mohr knew that what they were doing wouldnt be easy.

When they got together with others from Pilgrim Place and the Claremont Quaker meeting last year, inspired by Occupy Claremont, to not just talk about the homeless in Claremont but to actually assist them, they knew that it wouldnt be simple. In forming the Claremont Homeless Advocacy Program (CHAP), they knew they were in for some hard work. The idea behind CHAP and its Summer to End Homelessness was to pair volunteers with homeless individuals to help them go through the gauntlet of bureaucracies in order to get needed services. Such an endeavor included, at the very least, waiting in crowded rooms, sometimes for hours, and filling out lots of formschallenging enough for those with stability in their lives. This was difficult and frustrating and, no, the people in CHAP didnt end homelessness in Claremont. They were under no illusions that they would, but at least they were trying and getting something done about an ugly and daunting problem. Its a problem that many people dont want to even think or talk about. Now CHAP is doing something more. With the Claremont Quaker meeting providing space, the people in CHAP are giving overnight shelter to homeless people in Claremont. (Full disclosure: I am a member of the Quaker meeting but not involved with CHAP.) This is a huge and even scary undertaking. It has started off small with only a few men each night, but that still involves needing people to stay overnight as hosts and providing a simple breakfast each morning. This bold, hands-on leap had to be taken, Mr. Hilgert, Ms. Cooper, Mr. Mohr and the others in CHAP believe, because the nights are cold. As they see it, the question is: How can one try to assist the homeless and leave them to spend the night out on the street? The plan is that more homeless peopleand not just menwill be able to stay at the shelter. There is hope that other faith communities in and around Claremont will get involved in this effort. It is easy to say that this is too difficult and wont last. It is easy to say that this shelter program isnt enough or wont work, even that it will cause trouble resulting in

observer
more homeless people to come to Claremont. But, as its people well know, what CHAP is doing isnt easy. CHAP is doing something hard. At the very least, the CHAP folks are trying, which is a lot when it looks like there are people in Claremont who dont even want to think about trying. Just as CHAP was getting set to open its overnight shelter for homeless people in Claremont, there was grumbling and all sorts of alarms being raisedagain about low-income housing in Claremont. Correct that: there have been people upset about the idea of low-income housing in Claremont. We have seen this before. But in the past, the outcry has been over proposed projects, like the one several years ago just north of the 210 freeway. This time, the bruhaha is over a site that mayor may notbe used for low- and very low-income housing sometime in the future. The city was only trying to identify land that could be used for such a project, as required by the state of California. However, when it came to a 5.9-acre parcel on Mills Avenue across from Chaparral Elementary School, there was confusion, with a good number of people thinking that a 100-unit low-income housing project was to be built there. This, as Kathryn Dunn reported in these pages on January 24, lead to a backlash. According to Ms. Dunns reporting, The citys Regional Housing Needs Assessment allocations require city staff to identify possible locations for future very low and low-income housing development. The city is not, however, required to actually build the units. This fact did little to assuage residents fears about the project. About 45 people showed up to the January 7 planning commission meeting citing concerns... Forty-five people showing up at a meeting to denounce a project that could possibly and is not required to happen sometime in the future is a lot. There were also

letters and other pieces in these pages lamenting this lowincome housing project that isnt planned. The backlash was such that City Manager Tony Ramos decided to send the Housing Element Update back to the planning commission for a second review, although it will most likely mean that the city will miss the state deadline. As Mr. Ramos explained, We need to vet this more...to make sure all residents concerns are addressed. The city council agreed at its January 28 meeting, at which dozens of residents were present to again register these concerns. The concerns and fears about this proposed low-income housing project that isnt there include those voiced in previous years about low-income housing projects: traffic, quality of life, negative effects on surrounding property values and wildlife. Another familiar element of the complaints is that the site that they concern is north of Foothill Boulevard. It is interesting that I havent heard about complaints about two other sites on the list that are on Arrow Highway. Why is low-income, high-density housing acceptable in the south area of Claremont, even next to the Village where it has turned out to be quite successful, and the mere possibility of it in north Claremont is met with strong opposition? Also, as for the argument that people with lower incomes shouldnt be relegated to housing near a freeway, where it has been shown that the air quality is worse, the low-income housing projects and the Arrow Highway properties arent all that far from the 10 freeway. Whats more, I havent seen much of an outcry over the market-value housing projects being built near or even off the 210 freeway. It has also been pointed out that the parcel on Mills Avenue is currently owned by Golden State Water Company, with a water well being operated on it. But surely the planning commission knew this when it made its recommendation. Isnt there a creative, uniquely Claremont way to accommodate the well along with housing? I cant help wondering this when CHAP is trying and finding a way to do something to provide shelter for the homeless on these cold nights.

What to do about drought


Dear Editor: We need local control of our water! That was my immediate thought as I learned 2013 was the driest year for California in more than a century, the driest on record and our third consecutive year of drought. The snowpack in the Sierras, the source of much our southern California water, is down 20 percent of normal. Governor Brown declared a statewide drought emergency and deliveries from the State Water Project have been cut to zero for this spring. Thats where we get half our water! Fortunately, the large reservoirs in the southland have enough stored water to get us through the coming year. But if we have another year of drought, and those reservoirs are not replenished, we will be in serious trouble. With a warming climate, droughts will be more severe. Claremonts ability to manage water in our own best interest will be increasingly important. Claremonts best interest is certainly not Golden State Water Companys highest priority. As we consider going to a municipal water system, Golden State is suing the city and has hired a Nevada firm to conduct a telephone survey with misleading questions about the water system. The survey includes questions about Claremonts City Manager Tony Ramos and Councilmember Sam Pedroza. Later, will there also be questions about other councilmembers in the hope they can be intimidated? If we had local control of our water system, our best interests would come first. We would set our own rates based on the cost of supplying water, without paying for legal suits and for self-serving surveys, without profiting a private utility and without the regional rate system where we help pay for other cities water, even if they must import all of it. We cannot survive without water. We shouldnt be under a private monopoly. Golden State is required by law to encourage water conservation, but as we cut back on water use our rates increase under the Water Rate Adjustment Mechanism approved by the Public Utilities Commission. If we owned the system we would not have that imposed on us. Galling as it is, escalating rates is not the most critical issue. More important is our ability to prepare for coming shortages and conservation alone isnt likely to be enough. Every five years, water utilities are required to prepare an Urban Water Management Plan with projections for the next 25 years. Golden State published the last one for Claremont in 2011. Our need for imported water is estimated to increase from 51 percent in 2010 to 55 percent in 2035. But what will we do if that isnt available? Conservation is emphasized, but to be prudent we need to do more. Our neighboring cities provide good examples of what might be done if we owned our water utility. La Verne built reservoirs that will help when there is the need. Pomona has a large water reclamation plant that provides much of their irrigation water. Golden State of-

READERS COMMENTS
fers no plans for additional water reclamation, but claims sole right to sell reclaimed water to their Claremont customers. Fortunately, that does not apply to water reclaimed for personal use, so the Claremont Colleges have plans for an on-campus water recycling facility with a state-of-the-art small footprint water reclamation plant that will supply about two-thirds of the water needed to irrigate the campuses. That could cut the potable water Claremont must import by 70,000,000 gallons per year or more; about six percent of what we now import from the state water project. If Claremont owned its water system we could follow the Colleges example, reclaim water throughout the city and substantially reduce dependence on increasingly scarce and costly imported water. Its time for local control of our water system! Freeman Allen

Water fight hurts Claremont public schools


Dear Editor: As Claremont schools enter the spring semester, the last thing they and their families might expect is that a political fight over water would jeopardize efforts to improve the quality of their schools. Students should not have to pay the price for an ill-advised power struggle, but in Claremont, sadly, that could be the case. In the end, children and their parents will be the losers. Heres why. Claremont schools are among the finest in California: a team effort of dedicated teachers, involved parents and a community that works together and values the importance of public education. However, like many California school districts, Claremont faces a funding gap to upgrade and modernize its facilities. As of today, Claremont schools are eligible for more than $10.5 million in new construction and modernization funding through Californias School Facilities Program, but local matching funds are required. In 2010, a local school bond fell short of the necessary votes for a $95 million plan to replace and repair dozens of aging classrooms across CUSD. The bonds would have paid to remove hazardous materials such as asbestos from schools and to upgrade libraries, classroom technology and promote energy efficiency. The need didnt go away, its likely even greater now. Education leaders must build broad-based support for a future bond, whether in 2014 or beyond. However, a potential acquisition of the Golden State Water Company by the city of Claremont would undermine efforts to pass a local school bond for years, if not decades to come. From decades of experience fighting to provide resources for local school districts, I can say that residents will not vote for water and school bonds. Between the

two choices, its no contestpublic schools must always come first because they provide the academic foundation that ensures our children and the Claremont community will remain strong. By all impartial accounts, the water company provides reliable service and maintains the system appropriately. Yet, without a vote of the people, the city offered $55 million to purchase the water company. Thats a huge red flag, because an offer is a mandatory first step in Californias eminent domain process. As an educator who oversaw public instruction throughout California, I am very concerned about the damaging precedent this situation holds for school districts across the state. If every local government started to abuse the eminent domain process to settle turf battles with other local entities like what we are seeing in Claremont, voter approved bonds for schools, roads or other municipal services would be severely impacted. Newtons third law of physics tells us that for every action there is an opposite reaction. The physics of the Claremont situation are simple. If the city pushes forward with an eminent domain takeover, local taxpayers will have to repay water bonds of more than $100 million. That will undoubtedly hurt the chances for passing a future school bond. The reason? The city offered $55 million, but the actual sale amount will be much higher after a jury determines the highest price that a willing buyer would pay. What happens if that number is two or three times higher? Residents would

be repaying hundreds of millions in principal and interest payments and likely higher water costs for the same water service. Schools and students, however, lose out on the chance to make critical investments in facilities, technology and other academic needs. Taxpayers are already being stretched. Voters raised their taxes by passing Proposition 30 and may be asked to pass a statewide water bond this year. There has even been discussion of another statewide school bond. Should Claremont schools need voter approval for a local bond to meet local needs, it will be competing with those issues in addition to other municipal priorities like public safety, roads and parks. If the city advances a campaign to raise taxes for an attempted water takeover, taxes will increase and students and their teachers suffer the consequences. For the sake of local schools, I believe the city and the water company should work to resolve their conflict instead of continuing down the eminent domain path. Residents can make a difference by demanding that city leaders change course and directly engage the water company to work toward a solution that benefits residents without harming public schools. Make no mistake, even the possibility of a local water tax will kill a future school bond, and children will be the ultimate losers.

[Editors note: Mr. OConnell spent 20 years as a state assemblyman and senator, and authored Proposition 39, a statewide measure approved by voters in 2000 which lowered the threshold for passing school bonds from 66.7 percent to 55 percent.]

Get your kicks on...Foothill Boulevard?


by John Neiuber

ong before Bobby Troup wrote (Get Your Kicks On) Route 66, and immortalized the Mother Road, and long before the Rolling Stones 1965 tour when they agreed to play Swing Auditorium at the Orange Show Fairgrounds, because San Bernardino was mentioned in the famous song they covered, there was a dirt path, that became a wagon and buggy trail, that became a gravel road, that became a state highway called Foothill Boulevard and eventually became Route 66.
Recently, the city of Claremont began the process to develop a new master plan for Foothill Boulevard, bolstered by $5.7 million in state funds. The road is under city control and is no longer maintained by the state as a highway. The city held a workshop in late January and is still accepting written public input. The master plan will include a study of existing conditions as well as a vision for how the roadway will be maintained and improved in the future. However, before we look to the future, let's explore the past. During the early years of the 1900s, most foothill cities had a foothill route, however, they were not connected. In Claremont, the route was known as Mesa Avenue, named after Indian Hill Mesa that lay just north of the route between Mills and Indian Hill Boulevard. Around 1906, the gravel road that would become Foothill ran from the San Antonio Wash to Pasadena. Beginning around 1907, popular opinion had grown to accept that a connected foothill route was needed as a continuance of the old Santa Fe Trail. As a result of the ground swell of support, the county of Los Angeles allocated funds for its planning. In 1910, the state dedicated funds for highway improvement and by the next year had decided that a major east-west highway in the area was needed. These developments gave birth to the Foothill Boulevard Association. The association was the brainchild of E.W. Reid of Cucamonga and then chairman of the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors. The other founding members of the association were A.J. Certonneau of Pasadena, J.B. Coulston of Pasadena, A.P Griffith of Azusa and Frank Wheeler of Claremont. Within a year, the association had grown to 19 cities, all along the proposed foothill route. To convince the state to appropriate the funds for a foothill route was a daunting enough task for the association to undertake. In addition, it was a contest, and just like there were competing railroads and routes in earlier times, Pomona and Ontario were spearheading

a group to lobby for a southern route that would become a coast-to-coast highway. The members of the association, and Frank Wheeler in particular, spent several years visiting towns from Pasadena to as far east as Redlands, to keep them in the association and dedicated to the northern route. No one was more involved in promoting the route than Frank Wheeler. Mr. Wheeler was born near Nottingham, England and emigrated in 1882. He and his wife, Minnie Cron Wheeler, a Canadian, first settled in LaVerne in 1893, where Mr. Wheeler had a short career as a Los Angeles County land appraiser. He then moved to Claremont and entered the real estate business. Mr. Wheeler was tireless in his promotion of Foothill Boulevard. He gathered information about the need for the route by conducting an early traffic study of Mesa Avenue on a Sunday, the busiest traffic day of the week. He hired a man to stand just west of the high school building (now The Old School House) and count the traffic. The count elicited the results of the day: Vehicles such as buggies 105 Bicycles 51 Motorcycles 58 Automobiles 592 Mr. Wheeler was also involved in other promotions of the association. In the 1914 Rose Parade, five Claremont girls were selected to ride in a rose covered automobile, proudly proclaiming the Foothill Boulevard Association. No Foothill Boulevard existed at this time, but the promotion in the parade advertised the idea that the major east-west highway should be a foothill route. The efforts of the association proved successful and, in the 1920s, the state highway commission funded a foothill route. Construction began in Pasadena and worked eastward, with the Claremont section completed in 1931. Frank Wheeler was at the opening of Foothill Boulevard in 1931, the only living member of the five men who had envisioned and planned for what would become one of the most famous roads in America, if not the world. But, Mr. Wheelers vision of the grand

boulevard reached beyond just seeing its completion. At the opening of the highway, he unveiled a model for a local variation of the highway. The state had constructed a highway with a median strip and two lanes on each side. Mr. Wheeler had retained landscape architect Ralph Cornell, who had designed the boulevard to have the middle two lanes for highway traffic and two outside lanes, separated by medians, for the local traffic. The outside lanes and additional medians were never adopted or constructed, however, the original median remains and, until recent years, Claremont was one of the few cities to retain this feature. The design, although not built, was well received and on January 11, 1931, the Los Angeles Times ran an article about the merits of the proposal, under the headline, Ideal Highway Construction Modeled in Foothill Boulevard Through Claremont. Claremont had been chosen for the opening of the highway because it was the home of Frank Wheeler. Mr. Wheeler was a leader in ensuring the highway was designated as the foothill route and, for his efforts, became known as the Grandfather of Foothill Boulevard. Mr. Wheeler died on December 6, 1939. So, what now for Foothill Boulevard? What would Frank Wheeler suggest if he were alive today? He would note that the boulevard is not as wide on the western end of the city as it is on the eastern end. Would he push for the frontage roads for local traffic on the eastern end? Or would he make it more pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly, reflecting what he noticed as a trend in his town? I am sure none of us know what Frank Wheeler would suggest, but know this, he would be involved and he would have a say-so in the master plan.

Take the bait (away)


by Paul Faulstich

oison baits used to control rodents injure and kill huge numbers of wild animals and pets. Greater awareness of the dangers of rodenticides, colloquially rat poison, is prompting cities up and down California to ban these deadly and unnecessary toxins.
Pitzer College is in the process of reviewing alternatives to using these poisons on campus, and I urge Claremont to adopt anti-rodenticide resolutions. Doing so would be an important step in Claremonts Sustainable City Plan, which calls for the city government to serve as a leader in environmental practices. Designed to exterminate rodents, anticoagulant (blood thinning) pesticides are killing non-target animals and poisoning our state. The California Department of Fish and Game notes that studies show the unequivocal connection: 92 percent of raptors and 79 percent of endangered San Joaquin kit foxes tested positive for anticoagulant rodenticides in their blood. Of 104 mountain lions tested, 82 had rodenticides in their blood. Because of the risk of harm to children, pets and wildlife, the US Environmental Protection Agency has started the process of banning the most deadly rodenticides from the consumer market. Similarly, the Department of Fish and Game recommends revising California regulations to restrict these pesticides. Rodents consume these poisons at bait stations and then slowly die of internal hemorrhaging, taking up to 10 days to die after eating the rodenticide.

During this time, the rodents can continue to consume bait, raising their toxin levels to doses that are lethal for animals such as hawks, owls, foxes, raccoons and coyotes, which eat rodents or carrion. These poisons are highly toxic and persist a long time in body tissues; by the time a great horned owl eats a poisoned rodent, its meal could have many times a deadly level of poison. Wildlife hospitals see shocking numbers of such secondary poisonings from the use of rodenticides. Because most wild animals are elusive and die in seclusion, the prevalence of pesticide poisoning is likely to be even more common than the data suggests. Highly toxic anticoagulant poisons are sold under various product names, and contain the active ingredients brodifacoum, bromadiolone and difethialone, among others. As consumers, we should avoid purchasing these pesticides and ask our local home improvement stores to stop selling them immediately. Despite the danger these products present to children, pets and wildlife, and the EPAs request for voluntarily elimination of these poisons, Walmart and other merchants continued to sell them. Retailers and manufacturers know that these products are harmful, and they have a choice to support the safety of children and the environment. Some local stores and national chains have already removed the products from their shelves, and a number of companies have developed safer rodent control products that are effective and affordable. These stores and producers should be commended and supported. Community members can work to get civic bans enacted to eliminate these poisons from our environment. At least a dozen municipalities in Califor-

VIEWPOINT
nia, including San Francisco, have adopted resolutions limiting the use of rodenticides and citizens have been behind each of these efforts. Last July, Malibu adopted a measure asking businesses to no longer use or sell anticoagulant rodenticides, urging property owners to cease using them, and committing the city of Malibu to not use them as part of its maintenance program for city-owned parks and facilities. The southland cities of Calabasas and Moorpark have followed Malibus lead and have passed similar anti-rodenticide resolutions. This is an opportune time for Claremont to enact a similarly bold and responsible measure. Thankfully, we already have the structures in place to facilitate this transition, and one target of the Sustainable City Plan requires Claremont to utilize environmentallysuperior supplies for office operations, fleet maintenance and operations, and park and facilities maintenance. The plan acknowledges that toxic chemicals are often less evident than other types of pollutants but can have devastating consequences to the health of humans and the natural environment. The plan also recognizes that the city has focused on the proper disposal

of hazardous waste but overlooked the massive quantities of chemicals that are introduced into our environment to kill weeds and pests, and that the community must become more aware of these chemicals, reduce their residual effects and seek to reduce or eliminate their use. Fortunately, there are good alternatives to these poisons. The best method of rodent control is prevention. Residents should remove potential rodent homes (like yard debris and trash), reduce food sources (keep seed and pet food in secure containers, collect fallen fruit), eliminate rodents (seal openings around the outside of your home), and encourage natural rodent predators (a family of owls can consume up to 3000 rodents in a single nesting season). As a last resort, if you decide to kill the rodents, consider using snap traps or a natural alternative to toxic rodenticides that poses no risk to non-target animals. Rodents play an important role in nature and, with a little knowledge and a lot less poison, we can keep our homes free of toxins and pests while protecting the world around us. Reducing the harmful chemicals used by the city and residents is one important step Claremont can take toward leadership in environmental awareness and responsible action.

Beverly I. Everett
Beverly I. Everett died on Saturday, February 1, 2014 after a three-year battle with cancer. She was 70. Mrs. Everett was born on August 3, 1943 to Melvin and Margaret (Faust) Gerber in Palmerton, Pennsylvania. She grew up on her familys farm. During her younger years, she was an active member in the 4H Club. Mrs. Everett graduated from Tamaqua High School in 1961. In 1964, she married Larry E. Everett on August 22 in the Zions Stone Church in New Ringgold, Pennsylvania and began her life as a Marines wife. Over the next 20 years, they lived in various places such as Camp Lejune in North Carolina, San Diego, 29 Palms and Camp Pendleton. While Mr. Everett served tours in Vietnam and Okinawa, Mrs. Everett moved back to Pennsylvania with their daughters to be closer to family. The family moved to Claremont in 1984 after her husband retired from the Marine Corps. Mrs. Everett worked as a nursery school teacher at the Claremont United Church of Christ Early Childhood Center for 15 years. She was a devoted teacher and loved to plan fun and creative activities for her students. She was very active in the church as well, including overseeing the flowers in the sanctuary every Sunday, as a member of the Womens Fellowship and spearheading her churchs in-

volvement in the charity, Project Love. For more than 15 years, Mrs. Everett helped collect presents from church members that could be sent to children on Navajo Indian reservations in Arizona. She was also a volunteer for Claremont Meals on Wheels for many years until her health no longer permitted. Her family described Mrs. Everett as the perfect Marine wife due to her patriotism, often joking that she bled red, white and blue. The friends she made during her husbands active duty became her west coast family. The Coles, Reinhards and Sumstads got together regularly for pinochle games, family vacations and celebrations. As her daughters grew, Mrs. Everett was their most ardent supporter. She volunteered at their schools and as a Girl Scout leader. She attended volleyball games, horse shows, neighborhood kid clubs, parades, school and church activities. They regularly went on family vacations together, often camping across the United States and national parks. Once she became a grandmother, Mrs. Everett attended all of their school events, as well. She cherished the time she spent with her family and friends. Game nights, day trips and vacations were among her favorite activities, family shared. In addition to her own charities, she also supported charities and fundraisers of search in 2006 and was elected co-historian in 2012. Mrs. Everett traveled to 46 of the 50 states and six foreign countries. Her hobbies included reading, gardening, doing crossword puzzles, Sudoku, genealogy and going to craft shows.

OLA students celebrate high marks


In celebration of Catholic School Week, Claremonts Our Lady of the Assumption (OLA) School published the results of their 2013 8th grade Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS) scores, demonstrating intensive academic achievement, which has been the hallmark of OLA since its inception. The ITBS is one of the standardized tests administered in schools, including Catholic schools, across the country. As students who tested in their 8th grade year in September, OLA students ranked at high school levels with an average core score of 11.4 (11th grade, 4th month). In English, students averaged 12.7, with reading at 10.4. In math, students averaged 11.7, with science scores averaging 11.2.

Claremont candy shop gears up for Valentines Day

he canopy of trees, historical architecture and quaint mom-and-pop shops are all ingredients locals love about old-town Claremont. Among the beloved independent boutiques, A-Kline Chocolatier is a lasting flavor.

For the past 40 years, the familyowned chocolate shop has been in the business of satiating the citys sweet Claremont tooth. With plenty of decadent, handdipped treats on hand and more made fresh daily, theyve done a pretty good job meeting the demand. Keeping the shelves stocked is an intensive process led by store manager Rachel Madrid. Each day of operation, Ms. Madrid and her employees spend nearly eight hours handcrafting and packaging the culinary creations served to chocolate-starved patrons. The work can be even more demanding in peak holiday seasons, like Valentines Day, when nearly 144 pounds of chocolate-dipped strawberries can be expected to fly off the shelves in one day. Its a lot of dipping, but Ms. Madrid insists her work is more of a luxury than an added labor. I dont know of anyone who walks into a chocolate shop and isnt happy, Ms. Madrid said. The customers and the people I work with make it a great atmosphere to work in. Before running the local candy shop, Ms. Madrid was a customer herself, known for filling her childrens Easter

baskets and other seasonal goody bags with A-Kline confections. After retiring from her post as a principal at a local Christian school five years ago, Ms. Madrid told her husband she would love to work at a job in the Claremont Village within walking distance from her home. Not long after, she noticed a help wanted sign on the storefront of her favorite candy store. She was hired

part-time soon after and within 45 days was promoted to store manager. She has been happily helping fellow chocolate lovers ever since. I enjoy interacting with the customers, and satiating their cravings. And helping them select chocolates for gifts, that individual attention really satisfies me, she said. She doesnt complain when it comes

to making the rich homemade fudge, smooth peanut butter cups and other AKline specialties either. Unlike big name chocolate companies like Sees and Rocky Mountain, the hand-dipped decadence found at A-Kline is made on site with the exception of a few items the famous chocolate turtles among them. Much of those tasty treats are

A heart shaped box of hand-dipped truffles is among the most popular gifts for Valentines Day at A-Kline Chocolatier in the Village. The shop offers a wide range of candies including sugar free, and will stay open late this coming week for love-struck shoppers. MOM&POP/continued from the previous page

made at the companys sister store, Village Candy Kitchen, also run by A-Klines owners, Richard and Dawn Campbell of Yucaipa, Calif. he Campbells stumbled into the chocolatemaking business more than 20 years ago after being laid off from their executive suite jobs around the same time. Having worked for retail companies for years, they decided to turn the tables and become retailers and manufacturers themselves in an unlikely business, chocolate making. On a trip to the Oak Glen Village for lunch with her mom, Ms. Campbell saw the local candy shop was up for sale and, with a little luck, was chosen as the shops new owner not longer after. Though excited about the new venture, Ms. Campbell admits there was a lot of trial and error in the beginning as she and Mr. Campbell learned how to make the sweet treats the Village Candy Kitchen was known for. There is a lot more to it than you can imagine. Baking can be very precise, and the soft centers and caramel can be the trickiest, Ms. Campbell said. There were a lot of batches thrown out in the beginning. The success they have seen since opening leaves no question they have mastered the sugary science. Steady business at the Village Candy Kitchen allowed the chocolatiers to expand their business to Clare-

mont. Already manufacturing much of the chocolate for the Claremont Village shop, it was an easy transition for the Campbells, who took over ownership of A-Kline when the previous owner opted for retirement in the early 1990s. Helping them out is a team of dedicated employees who love the liberty of adding to the A-Kline menu. Every season, Ms. Madrid and her staff try to come up with something new to add to the already numerous selections. The owners allow us to be really creative, she said. Ms. Madrid is dedicated to her craft. When on vacation, she will dutifully scout out every candy store in the area, looking for fresh ideas. One of Ms. Madrids crowning achievements is the mouthwatering peanut butter crispy, a peanut butter square an inch thick that is hand-dipped in chocolate with rice crispy pieces in every bite. However, the chocolatiers most popular item is the truffles, hand-rolled at the boutique every morning. The store prides itself in its selection, with 11 different variations ranging from cafe noir to amaretto and everything in between at $1.45 each. This Valentines Day, A-Kline customers are being treated to a brand new truffle flavor, red velvet. Its like Christmas in the candy store with the Hallmark holiday just a week away. In addition to the regular staples, sour smooch lips, cupid corn and Valentines malt balls have found their way onto shop shelves. Heart-shaped chocolate boxes of all sizes and varieties can also be found in abundance. Candy boxes, pre-filled or available in customizing, range in price from $11 to $39. Other gift bags are also available for purchase. Another seasonal favorite is the chocolate turtle, a layer of chocolate underneath a layer of nuts, piled with caramel and topped off with another sheet of chocolate. Chocolate-dipped fruitslike apricots, ginger and orange peeland fresh-dipped strawberries are a couple more fan favorites, Ms. Madrid shared. For those overwhelmed by the variety, prepackaged trays and baskets are available for purchase featuring all of the companys best sellers. The candy shop manager and staff will be kept busy preparing a pile of these popular items as Valentines Day approaches. Store hours will lengthen next week so customers can grab a box of their favorites before the big day. A-Kline will remain open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday, February 10 through Thurs-

Claremonts Danny Han puts the squeeze on Charter Oaks Daniel Hayes during their 182-pound weight class match Tuesday at Claremont High School. Han easily defeated Hayes, pinning him in the first period.

COURIERphotos/STeven Felschundneff The Claremont High School wrestling team cheers as teammate Dustin Eguiluz pins opponent Michael Luna on Tuesday at CHS.

CHS wrestling wraps up tough season, 8-5

ven after long standoffs like junior Vicente Lopez, 122, endured to pin down Charter Oaks Josh Garcia, 122, the Claremont High School wrestling team fell short Tuesday night 30-41, ending their season with an overall 8-5 record, 0-5 within the Sierra League.
The Wolfpack finished strong during their senior recognition night after suffering from a 26-point deficit but the Chargers, who beat Sierra League top contender Ayala High, prevailed. However, there were a few matches head coach Gerald Escalante noticed that turned the match from a landslide to a nail-biter. They brought the spread down and a lot of players felt great, Escalante said. They all didnt give up. It was challenging at first when the Chargers gained control of the match. Just as sophomore Joseph Brown, 108, locked CO sophomore Vincent Zavala, 108, by the leg, he lost his grip and was locked by the torso, giving the Chargers a 0-15 lead. Lopez revived the Wolfpack as he pinned down Garcia by the ribs and earned three points, 3-21. The Chargers felt comfortable but showed signs of hesitation when senior T.J. Hinkson, 134, approached the wrestling floor. After suffering from a five-week back injury at the South Hills Dual Meet Tournament, he wanted to finish his season strong. As a comeback, I really wanted to beat them, Hinkson said. Since this is my first match after my injury, this match was really personal to me. Right after the referee signaled to begin, Hinkson quickly charged toward CO junior Jeffery Luster, 134, and brought him to the ground. Charter Oak eventually grasped him down but he escaped. Whenever the audience was certain that Hinkson got a good hold of Luster, the buzzer rang and forced him to start over. This pivotal moment turned into a grudge match as both competitors dodged and gave everything to strike each other. The audience was exhilarated by Hinksons determination and saw an athlete with a mission. As both competitors were near the edge of the cirSPORTING LIFE/next page

cle, the audience cheered as Hinkson threw Luster down by the hip, allowing him to earn six points, 9-26. I didnt think the hip toss would work but it did, Hinkson said. I knew I had to get him tired. That victory was what the Wolfpack needed for a potential combat. CHS senior Malik Webster, 145, then

managed to lock CO junior Matt Fortugno, 152. The audiences roar intensified for the Wolfpack. As they shouted and banged the bleachers in excitement, CHS junior Danny Han, 184, quickly dominated to earn six points after placing head lock within 30 seconds on CO sophomore Daniel Hayes, shrinking the deficit to 2441. Han gave the audience credit for his quick victory. It [the excitement] was exhilarating, Han said. This was the closest weve gotten to beating Charter Oak. Despite the loss, the Wolfpack held their heads high and once again congratulated some of the victories the seniors earned. Escalante said he could not be more proud of his athletes as they now prepare to host the Sierra League Finals, February 15, at Claremont High. This season, we worked really hard compared to what we did last year, Escalante said. They were all excellent. Girls varsity soccer The Wolfpack claimed victory against South Hills, 2-1, Tuesday at Covina District Field. Head coach Tim Tracey said their defense played well and players like sophomore goalkeeper Sydney Forteson and senior mid-fielder Hannah Chua stepped up. Defensively, they played well and everyone stepped up saving goals, Coach Tracey said. With the success they achieved, the Lady Wolfpack is now focused to face the Spartans Friday, 5:30 p.m., at Damien High. Tracey admits the Spartans are a solid team, but if the Wolfpack manages to split them in the second half, they may claim another with for Claremont. Alex Forbes

Absolutely very professional. Smoothest transaction I have ever experienced when comparing to any other large purchases I have ever made. Mason has really raised the bar for me to evaluate any other customer service in any field. He is very knowledgeable, has great rapport and was absolutely on top of [every step]. I had some very tight deadlines in purchasing my home and I feel very fortunate that I came across Mason as I consider him an integral part of why I was able to meet my purchase goals and deadlines. My parents are now considering moving into the area and of course, this is a no-brainer, they will call Mason when they are ready. Andy P.

We met Carol at the beginning of our search for a home in Claremont in the extremely tight real estate market, we were ready to place offers on anything remotely resembling a possibility, but Carol kept telling us that our perfect home was out there. She found.. the house, which was not yet listed..called the owner..and negotiated a satisfactory agreement. We find ourselves telling the tale of the Amazing Realtor to friends and acquaintances on a monthly basis. We count Carol as a friend and know that, should we ever have a need for a Realtor again, she will be the first person we call.

Laurel T., Architect


Carol is a go-getter from the start. She was always easy to reach and promptly answered our calls, kept us informed whenever anything happened, both in and out of escrow. With Carols interior decorating license, she arranged furniture and artwork to show off the house to its best. We know that how a house looks greatly influences potential buyers. We are very pleased with her work and would recommend her to anyone!
