Crossing paths
[Editors note: The following letter was
forwarded by Marcus Dowd on behalf of
the author, his wife Elin Dowd, in the
hopes that it might inspire a bit of kind-
ness in Claremont. KD]
Dear Editor:
Hug. Last night, I set out for my run. I
use run in the very loosest of terms, as it
was really a fast walk, not even a jog. As
usual, I started by heading over the
Thompson Creek Bridge. As I came past
the bushes, at the entry, I could see a
woman and her 3-year-oldish daughter
crossing the bridge, so I held back to make
sure there was enough room.
As soon as the little brown-haired-with
huge-brown-eyes girl saw me she started
yelling, Hug! and came running towards
me, wrapping her arms around my leg.
I was caught a little off-guard with
iPhone in hand, and unexpectedly patted
her back with my left arm. It was a mea-
ger attempt at a hug with a little stranger.
As we parted, the mom said softly,
Sorry. However, I thanked her for giv-
ing my run such a nice start. As I turned
around to depart, I heard very loud and
clear, Another hug! This time I was
ready I turned around, squatted down and
opened both arms to embrace this little
girl. Satisfied, we both parted ways and
continued on our journeys. Im pretty sure
as I left them I heard her mom starting the
We dont hug strangers discussion.
What a great moment. Why dont we
spontaneously ask for hugs from strangers
when we really need them? I may never
see this family again but, if I do, I will in-
troduce myself, as to never be considered
a stranger again and to always be ready for
the genuine warmth and friendly greeting
that came from this adorable toddler.

CITY NEWS
T
uesday nights meeting
of the Planning Com-
mission brought forward
two new development propos-
als, one on south Mills Avenue
and a second mixed-use plan on
Foothill Boulevard and Monte
Vista Avenue.
Brandywine Homes may have pulled
its plans for a development at the former
La Puerta site on Forbes Avenue, but the
Orange County-based builder hasnt
given up on construction in Claremont.
The city and planning commission are
currently reviewing plans for a proposed
residential development on a 1.86-acre
site currently owned by City Blessings
Church, located at 735 S. Mills Ave., abut-
ting the 10-freeway. Brandywines pro-
posed project includes 20 two-story,
detached residential homes.
While the Mills Avenue deal is still in
its infancy, Brandywine is further along
on a second project on Auto Center Drive.
Plans for housing on 11.5 acres in south
Claremont have not yet been submitted,
but Director of Community Development
Brian Desatnik said he expects to receive
them within the next week or two.
Brandywine is working with Toyota
to sell a portion of [of the land] to Roger
Hogan for his dealership, Mr. Desatnik
explained. Toyota could move into the
old Ford building and were expecting a
Volkswagen dealership to move to the
current Toyota location.
The architectural commission will meet
Wednesday, May 28 to further discuss
Brandywines plans on Mills Avenue,
with a review of the Auto Center Drive
plans anticipated in the coming months.
Claremont Commons
The proposed development at Foothill
and Monte Vista, dubbed Claremont
Commons, would include 25 single-fam-
ily detached homes, 68 townhomes and
5,600 square feet of retail space with
amenities like public art and parks.
According to the planning commission
agenda report, the owner of the 9.7-acre
parcel has been working with the city to
develop on that land since the 1980s. The
site was purchased in 1984 with hopes of
building a supermarket-anchored shop-
ping center, but nothing panned out.
The Arco gas station opened its pumps
in 1997, with Armstrong Garden Center
following in 1999. The remaining acres
have remained undeveloped, but it has
long been a site of interest, with discus-
sion of everything from the energy com-
pany Technip considering a move from
First Street to the possibility of a Target
store. None of these projects materialized
as developers cited difficulties building on
the oddly-shaped lot and financial con-
straints.
In September of 2012, the property
owner, Clare Properties LLC, decided on
a mixed-use project to include residential,
retail and open space. The parcel is di-
vided between Claremont and Upland,
thereby spanning two countiesLos An-
geles and San Bernardino. The owners
and city officials began talks with the city
of Upland to try to move the city of Clare-
monts boundary east to Monte Vista.
Nothing has been decided at this point,
but the possibility of a border move re-
mains.
Weve had some preliminary talks
with Upland and well be following up
soon, Mr. Desatnik said. [Upland] is
open to the idea but it depends on whether
the timing will work with the developer.
Handing over valuable square footage
without some kind of beneficial trade-off
would be unlikely for any city, so Clare-
mont officials are looking at other parcels
within city boundaries that Upland may
be coveting. The undeveloped land be-
tween Claremont Boulevard and Monte
Vista Avenue, going several miles north
of Foothill, has created an awkward diag-
onal line running between the two cities.
It creates odd shapes that arent con-
ducive to development in any city, Mr.
Desatnik said. Weve got some parcels
they may want to get in their sphere
possibly up on Base Line. Its all in talks
right now. Theres no deal or anything.
Zoning provides another hurdle for the
developer, Walbern Developments. The
Foothill/Monte Vista plot is zoned com-
mercial and although there is a small com-
mercial aspect, the project overall is
primarily residential and includes a pre-
carious 3.5-acre no-build zone running
through the middle.
The no-build zone, a 150-foot by 1000-
foot space, was handed down from the
Federal Aviation Administration as a re-
sult of the position of Cable Airport and
flight takeoff patterns, according to Plan-
ning Commission Chair Jeff Hammill.
Its not anywhere near ready to go to
council yet. There are several things that
need to be worked out in terms of juris-
diction, Mr. Hammill said.
The commission is supportive of the
project in concept, Mr. Hammill ex-
plained, but concerns remain regarding
the no-build zone and the county/city line
issue. Given all the constraints, Mr. Ham-
mill noted that it appears to be a pretty
creative project.
Even with support for the project from
both city staff and the commission, Wal-
bern still has a long road ahead of them.
Im going to have them do another
preliminary before they go to architectural
commission, Mr. Desatnik said. Then
well do an environmental review on it. It
could be six months before it gets back to
the planning commission.
Preliminary plans are on file with the
community development department at
city hall, 207 Harvard Ave., and are avail-
able for review between the hours of 7
a.m. and 6 p.m., Monday through Thurs-
day.

which time the 24-year-old will also be arraigned on two charges of
probation violation and a misdemeanor charge of resisting, delaying
or obstructing an officer from an unrelated incident. Bail was set at
$85,000. If convicted of all charges, Mr. Herrera faces up to six
years and four months in prison.

sexual assault of a child; one count each of forcible rape; sexual
penetration by foreign object; and assault to commit a felony during
the commission of first-degree burglaries. Mr. Davall was arrested
on April 18 in Yucca Valley and remains in custody in lieu of $5
million bail.

EDUCATION
San Antonio to go solar, build unity with new student store
H
ow do you begin a
revolution? Some-
times the best way is
to start small.
At last Thursdays school board
meeting, San Antonio
High School student
representative Mindy
Hansenwhose job is to report on the
doings of several Claremont schools
shared that the local continuation
school is going green in a big way.
San Antonio High School (SAHS),
she said, is in the midst of creating a
solar-powered student store. Thanks to
a three-by-four-foot panel to be in-
stalled on its roof, the structure will be
illuminated entirely via sunlight.
The store will measure roughly 13
feet by 10 feet and have two windows
where students will be able to buy
snacks and San Antonio High School
merchandise. Proceeds will help fund
the schools student government.
The 35 students in Bruce Pardees
two ROP construction classes are con-
structing it. The teens are doing it all,
from designing to framing to finishing.
The $2,000 budget for the project, half
of which was used to purchase the solar
panel, comes courtesy of a Lefler Grant
SAHS obtained with the help of Clare-
mont Rotary.
The proposal we wrote was con-
struction of the future as opposed to
construction of the past, San Antonio
Principal Sean Delgado said, adding
that special thanks go to Rotary mem-
ber Chuck Carpenter for reaching out to
the school.
Mr. Delgado, who said the store is
about 75 percent completed, is excited
about the many learning opportunities
the project provides.
The students building the store are
learning to work with green technology
along with mastering construction tech-
niques. The students who staff the store
will learn crucial workplace skills like
using a cash register and tallying the
daily take.
Mr. Delgado loves the prospect of
having school-themed merchandise
such as San Antonio apparel for sale.
He has made a point of trying to foster
a strong sense of school spirit since his
arrival at the school last year, reviving
ASB and encouraging the students to
select a new mascot. This year, the 26
members of the SAHS student govern-
ment took the initiative to create T-
shirts and sweatshirts.
Its amazing to look across your
campus and see everyone wearing
school merchandise with your logo on
it, Mr. Delgado said. They wear it
with pride.
The plan is to create more such items
so that each of the schools 110 students
can let everyone know that they are
happy to be San Antonio Lions. Mer-
chandise touting the schools various
clubs or a graduating class may also be
provided.
Whatever builds that sense of iden-
tity for the kids, I want to encourage
that, Mr. Delgado emphasized.
He calls the project a win-win for
everyone.
The students get a student store at
minimal cost. And the construction stu-
dents have a meaningful project they
can build to contribute to the school as
a whole, Mr. Delgado said.
The students have been fascinated
with the solar aspect of the construc-
tion, Mr. Delgado said.
I remember watching the kids tak-
ing the panel out of its packaging and
putting it in the sun to see how much
energy it absorbed, he said. Then
they stood in front of it and cast a
shadow to see how much that amount
went down.
As the student storeanother tool to
unify SAHS students into a pride of
Lionsprepares to open, it is likely
that the schools 33 graduating seniors
are feeling that traditional mix of
school spirit and senioritis. They will
join Claremont High School students
for upcoming graduation, set for June
12 on the CHS football field.

San Antonio High School will incorporate solar panels into its newly-constructed
student store, where students can purchase snacks and SAHS merchandise.
A
proud contingent of kids and
staffers from Vista del Valle took a
bow at last Thursdays gathering of
the Claremont Unified School District
Board of Education.
The board honored the local elementary school for a
remarkable disappearing act. The Vista
community has reduced the amount of
waste produced at the school by 95 per-
cent, going from nearly 1,000 bags of trash per year to
less than 100.
The environmentally friendly feat earned the school
grand prize in Grades of Greens third annual Trash
Free Lunch Challenge, a kudos that comes with a
$1,000 reward.
Twenty-four K-12 schools in Los Angeles County
participated in the challenge, with Vista sharing top
honors with Parras Middle School in Redondo Beach.
Competitors were judged on their ability over the
course of the year to: create and implement a trash free
lunch program that diverts the most trash bags from
landfills per day, educate the most students and adults
within their campus community and establish the sus-
tainability of the program for years to come.
Vistas effort was spearheaded by first grade teacher
Juliana Mittino-Smith and enthusiastically embraced
by students and staffers. Members of the schools Green
Team are urged to eat all of their food and then sort their
own trash, with recyclable items going into the proper
receptacle.
They toss anything suitable for composting, like or-
ange rinds, apple cores and banana peels, into a can
whose contents will be oured into the schools compost
pile. Once it decomposes, the finished compost is used
to nourish the soil of Vistas thriving garden, which is
overseen with the help of CUSD garden coordinator
Dessa DAquila.
Students who bring their own lunch make an effort to
keep it trash-free, avoiding pre-packaged items in favor
of food tucked into reusable containers.
You can see these conscientious kids in action in a
YouTube video titled Imagine Green: Vista del Valles
Trash-free Challenge. The video features a customized
version of John Lennons Imagine, with Vista students
asking viewers to Imagine theres no trash. Its easy if
you try. Imagine all the people sorting all the trash.
Making such a scenario easy to imagine was the seven
enthusiastic students who stood, along with Vista Princi-
pal Dave Stewart, to take an honorary photo with district
luminaries. All wore shirts in red or blue proclaiming,
Once a Vista Student, Always a Vista Student. One
kindergartner who darted up to join the photo-op com-
pleted his ensemble with light-up tennis shoes.
Vistas efforts were judged by a panel of environ-
mental experts hailing from groups like Surfrider, 350
Climate Action Group, Algalita Marine Research Insti-
tute and Grades of Green Youth Corps as well as the
Sanitation District of Los Angeles County.
The school was presented with their award at an
April 29 ceremony, attended by Grades of Green rep-
resentatives. The $1,000 prize will be added to a grant
from the city to help fund an outdoor kitchen and shade
structure for the Vista garden.

profit dedicated to helping students form habits that will
protect the environment for years to come, visit

S
outh India can be hot. Heat makes me
limp and itchy and I want my air con-
ditioning. I move more slowly. I
know this. The British knew this, too.
While they were in India, the British established
British Towns in the hilly areas all over India. In the
south of India, Munnar is one of the hill towns where tea
plantations were established and now cover the area in
the most glorious shades of green, rolling over hills, up
and down mountains around boulders and under trees.
I knew I had to visit this area for a few days, and my
friend Barbara and I planned to go up there towards the
end of our months visit to India. The heat was well-es-
tablished and we had endured enough of it for a while. In
sharing a breakfast with a pleasant English couple in
Pondicherry, they told us of a place they had stayed and
had liked a lot. Pondicherry is on the east coast of south
India and Munnar, which is in the state of Kerala, is on
the west coast. We had planned to visit Kerala and stay
in Fort Cochin for a number of days, and hoped to go up
to Munnar from there. The hotel, Royal Mist, offered
three nights, a driver and car for the days there plus pick-
up in Fort Cochin and return to the airport for a single
low price. We called and made the arrangements about
two weeks before we left Pondicherry. It was a great
choice.
We were picked up by our driver (he was with us the
whole time and was kind and patient and also a good and
slow driver). The drive to Munnar goes through small
villages, spice farms and, as one ascends, forests. The
farms change from rice to plantations of pineapples to
cardamom and different fruit trees. The winding roads
were full of potholes so there was a great deal of repair
work going on. But the driver drove carefully, as we
bounced up and down with the bumps.
Our guest house was just at the edge of the tea planta-
tions and looked over the vast valley spread before us.
The owners, Anil and Jeeva, were extremely kind.
Breakfast was included in the rate, but we also ate din-
ner there as there wasnt a restaurant close by. After a day
out sightseeing, we didnt feel like going into town again
for a meal anyway. Our hosts asked us what we wanted
to eat or taste and would create meals around our choices.
It was the same with breakfastseggs and toast and
fresh juices and then some Indian delicacy and fruit. We
never starved.
After a day out, we returned to an invitation of coffee
or tea and cookies in their home and long chats filled
with laughter. On our last evening, Anil and his daugh-
ter took us for a walk through a tea plantation to exam-
ine the plants and learn about tea growing. Most of the
tea plants, which were short, twisted and gnarled, were
over 100 years old and are related to the camellia plant.
When we saw the tea flower, I could see the family re-
semblance. As we strolled along the path, the sun began
to set and we kept taking photos and enjoying the chang-
ing colors spread out before us.
Our guest house had three rooms that were all occu-
pied the first night. When the others left, we were gener-
ously given our own rooms at no extra charge. Every
evening, we sat out on the upstairs porch with a view of
the valley down below. We chatted, worked on our iPads
and visited with the owners until night closed in. It was
cool enough the entire three days and I understood what
a blessing it must have been for the British families dur-
ing the hot months.
On our first full day in Munnar, we drove out to the tea
museum and it was my first view of the rolling hills cov-
ered in shades of bright green. Each view was new and I
kept shouting, Stop, I want to take a photo of this hill or
that valley. The driver was so patient with me, stopping
as soon as it was safe. But there was always a better view
and photo op around the next bend.
Our driver told us that Munnar has wild elephants that
roam the hills, but not in the tea plantations as there is
nothing for them to eat among the tea trees. I kept dream-
ing of coming across a wild elephant but he said it was
not really the right season. However, one has hope.
At the tea museum, we saw a film about the estab-
lishment of tea in the region, drank some milky massala
spiced tea and looked at the machinery and old photos.
We then drove out to a special school where disabled
people are trained in traditional cloth-dying methods, the
making of paper and paper products and making straw-
berry jam. It was a wonderful place with beautifully kept
gardens full of roses in bloom and people working hard
to keep everything clear and healthy. Barbara went to the
paper room and I rushed off to the fabric-dying room.
They use only natural vegetable dyes collected locally
and beautifully-carved stamps to print the cloth. The stu-
dents were happy to demonstrate the techniques. Barbara
and I met up in the gift shop filled with wonderful
choices.
On the way back, it was so nice to see the patterns that
the tea plants formed. Some looked like squares form-
ing a reptile skin texture and, in other places, large, black
pointed boulders shot up amongst the shorter green
plants, neither one wanting to give way to the other. We
also watched women in straw hats picking tea with large
shears and filling bags with the snipped tea leaves. All at
once, we saw crowds of people running at the side of the
road, shouting and pushing one another. Our driver
pulled over immediately shouting, Elephant! and I fell
out of the car with my camera, running and pushing
along with the others. Yes, I did get to see hima male
with huge tusks rushing into a farmbut was not fast
enough for a photo. It was really exciting and, even bet-
ter, unexpected.
For our second day out, we went to a small village
where they make jaggery, a dark brown sugar created by
boiling the sugar cane. This is the only place one can buy
it. The drive was through a sandalwood forest and we
saw lots of monkeys along the road. We also saw an elu-
sive and rare Indian squirrel, a large black animal that
sleeps on tree branches with its long tail hanging down.
Nearby were two spotted deer. Of course, the driver saw
them all first and showed them to us.
It was a lovely three days. It was cool and the weather
was clear. The views never failed to make me excited
and each view was better than the one before it. The drive
up and down through farms and spice plantations and
forests was lovely. We felt that we were visiting friends
and staying in their home, eating good homemade food
and trying new tastes. I drank mango lassis, a delicious
yogurt drink, and fresh pineapple juice and we happily
drank good tea. It was a perfect ending to a wonderful
month of traveling in southern India.
On the way to the airport, the three of us sat in a hotel
restaurant dining room and ordered food and yogurt las-
sis. When the lassis arrived, the waiter managed to drop
one all over me and my new outfit, which I had saved
for the trip home. I was covered all over by the wet drink,
down to my toes. I tried to blot and wash off as much as
possible but eventually it dried, making my clothes stiff
like glued paper. And this was how I traveled home,
wearing India as a souvenir.

worry about.
Trees and chemicals
Dear Editor:
The long careful work of city staff and
Claremont residents to maintain tree poli-
cies supporting our traditional full-street
tree canopybringing small town beauty,
safety and higher property values to all
Claremont neighborhoodsis exemplary
and we thank all those responsible.
While much has been accomplished,
we and the Tree Action Group (TAG)
hope the city council will eliminate ex-
panded use of toxic chemicals in our tree
managementtoxic chemicals that risk
the health of trees, people, insect pollina-
tors and the air, soil and water.
As we now know, these chemicals do
damage and often cost more in the long
run. On May 8, the council voted to spend
$800,000 to clean polluntants out of our
water runoff. Why then would the city
want to increase chemicals in the runoff?
Particularly when there are cleaner, faster
and cheaper options for clean-up of seed-
pods, fruit and leaf litter.
Moreover, the city has yet to study po-
tential water quality and health impacts
associated with the increased use of toxic
chemicals in tree management, claiming
the proposed changes to tree policies
could not lead to significant effects on the
environment. However, a revised policy
would allow expanded use of tree grow
regulators and pesticides. If the city wants
to allow expanded use, it may, but only
after studying whether these chemicals
will pollute our water and air, and dis-
closing the results to the public.
The California Environmental Quality
Act is specifically intended to require
study, disclosure and mitigation of such
impacts so the city and public can assess
the entire price tag of a new policy or proj-
ect before the impacts are experienced.

Claremont Museum of Art
Dear Editor:
We at the Claremont Museum of Art
(CMA) are very pleased about the out-
come of the recent city council meeting, in
which the council instructed the Commu-
nity and Human Services Commission to
revisit its funding recommendations for
Community-Based Opportunity (CBO)
grants.
We remain hopeful that funding for
CMAs project ARTstART can be in-
cluded in this reboot. Community fund-
ing is vital to keeping ARTstART alive and
serving our students.
As a nonprofit, the CBO grant is just
one of many sources CMA turns to for
support of its programs. ARTstART is
thankful to have also received partial fund-
ing from the Los Angeles Board of Su-
pervisors through the Los Angeles County
Arts Commission, the Flourish Founda-
tion, Rotary Club of Claremont and the
ongoing generosity of our membership. It
does, indeed, take a village to fund a
nonprofit program.
What does ARTstART do with the
money it raises? CMAs ARTstART trains
Claremont High School students, working
with college student mentors, to provide
exhibit-based art lessons for elementary
students at three CUSD school sites. All
art supplies, teaching materials and trans-
portation to area cultural institutions is
covered. The program brings high-quality
student-led classes and activities to the
citys school system to inspire, promote
understanding of art and highlight Clare-
monts rich artistic history.
This year, the ARTstART team of 45
students served 482 students from Oak-
mont, Sycamore and Vista del Valle ele-
mentary schools, as well as El Roble In-
termediate, where CMAs comic
art-themed, ARToon program, is based.
Next year, we hope to extend our pro-
gram to Mountain View, as well.
Ask any of the Claremont students in-
volved in this program, or their parents, if
ARTstART is a worthwhile investment
for a funder and youll receive a resound-
ing, yes, as was heard loud and clear at
last weeks council meeting. Still doubt-
ful? We invite you to attend the year-end
student exhibition, StART It Up: ART-
stART Year Three, on Saturday, May 31,
Sunday, June 1 and Wednesday, June 4
from noon to 4 p.m. in the Ginger Elliott
Exhibition Center in Memorial Park, 840
N. Indian Hill Blvd.
Curated and installed by ARTstART
high school students, the exhibition fea-
tures work by 4th-6th grade students from
Oakmont, Sycamore and Vista. Which
brings us back to Angela Baileys article.
The new Claremont Museum of Art
may lack walls, but it doesnt lack a
proven track record of engaging programs.
In addition to our arts education pro-
grams, CMA hosts a full slate of exhibi-
tions held at different venues, including
the Artful Evening series, our family art
booth at community festivals and the
hugely popular Padua Hills Art Fiesta.
Our biannual event, OpenART Studio
Tour, kicks off on Saturday, June 7 at
10:30 a.m. and will feature 21 artists stu-
dios. For tickets, email info@claremont-
museum.org or call (909) 621-3200.
Well look forward to welcoming you
and your family at the StART It Up exhi-
bition or one of our other upcoming CMA
events! (www.claremontmuseum.org)

Police shooting
Dear Editor:
There are some citizens who believe
anything done by police is legitimate. I
would call their attention to the shooting
of two women delivering newspapers
early one morning. The officers were poor
shots and the women were only wounded.
Very few citizens will defend that outra-
geous abuse of police power.
Some 15 years ago in Claremont, there
was an early-morning shooting of a young
black man by two Claremont officers. The
police stated that the man, Irvin Landrum,
had fired at them. But when sheriffs in-
vestigated, they discovered that the Lan-
drum weapon had not been fired. If police
lied about one thing, would it not be likely
that they would lie about other things?
Most recently, there was a police shoot-
ing of a man who was allegedly backing
his car in an attempt to injure or kill the
officer. The Claremont police officer fired
and injured the driver of the car. If the of-
ficer was halfway nimble, couldnt he
have jumped out of the way of the car? I
know that my car does not go very fast in
reverse. Having avoided the backing car,
wouldnt it be better for all concerened to
shoot out the mans tire? As a practical
matter, we taxpayers will pay for the al-
leged assailants hospital bills following
his non-fatal gunshot wound.
These three incidents of police shoot-
ings vary from the terrible shooting in Los
Angeles to the shocking Landrum shoot-
ing to the questionable Claremont shoot-
ing this month. What do the shootings
have in common? It appears to this 49-
year resident of Claremont that police in
many jurisidications, including Clare-
mont, are much too quick to shoot. Per-
haps this is due to our cowboy past, or the
influence of western movies.
Whatever the cause, public respect for
police officers will rise if they use restraint
with their firearms. Sometimes it appears
that police feel they can act with impunity.
Perhaps more oversight is needed.

READERS COMMENTS
B
irds of a feather flock together, and
thats just what the owners of Wild
Birds Unlimited are counting on
from the avian-minded in Claremont.
After nearly two years in the making, Chris and
Angie Verma will be opening their doors for the first
time this Saturday and offering bird-lovers a sneak
peek before their official grand opening on June 14.
As the name implies, Wild Birds Unlimited (WBU)
caters to backyard birds and the nature enthusiasts
who love them. With an endless selection of feeders,
food and wild bird accessories, its not hard to see why
WBU is so popular among birders. For as little as $15,
you can purchase the Flying Start Combo, an all-in-
one feeder with three tiers of food that should attract
every bird in your area.
Mr. Verma, who has been birding much of his life,
began seriously chasing rare species in 2012 as evi-
denced by a family trip to Northern Peru to observe
the long-whiskered owlet. What started as their hobby
has now become their business and hes looking for-
ward to sharing their knowledge of wild birds with
customers.
One of my jobs is for someone to come in and de-
scribe a bird to me, explains Mr. Verma. If they say,
I have a little yellow bird with a black cap, I would
tell them thats an American goldfinch and Id set
them up with a nyjer feeder. Nyjer is a little thistle
seed and thats what they love. Then well show them
tricks to getting the birds to come to the feeder, like
tying a yellow bow at the top so it gets their attention.
Bird feeders of every shape and size are in abun-
dance at WBU and come with a lifetime guarantee.
The Dinner Bell, a multifunctional domed feeder, fea-
tures an antimicrobial tray with patented technology
that inhibits the surface growth of damaging bacteria,
mold and other microbes.
Its our all-time best feeder because of its versatil-
ity, Mr. Verma. says.
The bell-shaped feeder can be loaded with seed or
cylinder and the dome can be raised or lowered for
weather or for controlling larger birds from eating all
the food.
A lot of people complain about the Scrub-Jays eat-
ing everything. You can lower the dome down enough
where he cant get in there, but your little birds will,
explains Mr. Verma.
Also offered at WBU is a unique pole system that
can be designed to deter squirrels and attract birds of
every species into your garden. Its just like a big
erector set, Mr. Verma says with a smile. You can
accessorize it with perches, pole guards, different
dishes for mealworms or different kinds of foods. Its
really cool!
Selecting the proper food is just as important as
choosing the right feeder and the folks at WBU are
dedicated to offering fresh, top-quality bird food and
nectar. Typical food from a lot of stores, half of it is
filler, Mr. Verma says. Red Milo seedNobody is
going to eat that and it gets kicked to the ground and
sprouts. Thats why I suggest a food like No Mess.
There are no shells.
Bird lovers wanting to entice their winged friends to
stay and play after a meal will be thrilled with the se-
lection of birdhouses and birdbaths beginning at
around $20. Moving water is an attractant for birds,
they can hear it for miles and they will come to it.
Other options include a solar-powered fountain and
beautiful glass bowls with pedestals that can be used
indoors or out.
Peppered throughout the shop are gorgeous gift
items for that someone special. Jewelry, garden
plaques, doormats, hand-tuned wind chimes and fruit
seed figurines are all reasonably priced and would put
a smile on the face of anyone receiving it. The kids
might also get a kick out of the comically packaged
Condor Poop chocolates offered by the register.
Birdwatchers of every level will be thrilled with the
available resources at Wild Birds Unlimited. From
binoculars to basic books on how to feed birds to more
advanced field guides, there is something to delight
every birder on their journey.
In the near future, the owners plan to spread their
wings and offer nature seminars as well as bird walks
in the City of Trees.
The companys motto, We Bring People and Na-
ture Together is the very heart of WBUs retail con-
cept and a mission Mr. and Ms. Verma look forward to
embarking on with customers of all ages.
Nature is huge deal to me. It gave me a chance to
combine two things I think are really important, con-
servation and kids. If we dont get kids involved in the
outdoors, get their faces out of their computers, out of
their phones and out of the video games, were going
to lose all of this because nobody is paying attention.
Tomorrow, Saturday, May 24, Wild Birds Unlimited
will be offering COURIER readers a free tube feeder
and a two-pound bag of food with coupon. Be sure to
check page 21 of this weeks edition for your free
offer. See coupon for details.
Wild Birds Unlimited is located at 911 W. Foothill
Blvd. in Claremont. Hours are Monday through Satur-
day 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4
p.m.

Chris Verma has been a lifelong fan of wild birds and has recently taken up what he calls serious birding.
As a result of his love of birds, he is opening a Wild Bird Unlimited franchise in Claremont, which he hopes
will help spread interest in birding as a hobby.

May is mental health
month
Mental illness affects us all and it
strikes everywhere. Preventable losses
add up for suffering individuals, fami-
lies, organizations and communities.
Despite this fact, many in our commu-
nity remain confused about mental ill-
ness, including how to best respond.
The month of May is the perfect time
to increase the communitys knowledge
and improve its response. NAMI
Pomona Valley has speakers available
to give mental health awareness presen-
tations to your organization or group.
Organizations can coordinate mental
health first aid training or become in-
volved in advocacy with NAMI.
Wearing a green ribbon can be a
great first step in showing support for
those battling mental illness and start-
ing conversations about mental health.
Be sure to visit NAMI Pomona Valley
online and check out the calendar of
local mental health events courtesy of
Tri-City Mental Health Services.
NAMI encourages and supports ef-
forts to increase awareness and reduce
the stigma of mental illness. For infor-
mation, call (909) 399-0305 or visit the
NAMI website at www.namipomona
valley.org.
SCIL to host grand re-
opening, open house
Service Center for Independent Life
(SCIL) will host a grand reopening cel-
ebration and open house on Wednes-
day, May 28 from 5 to 7 p.m.
SCIL was founded in 1979 by par-
ents of persons with disabilities from
the Claremont area. Last year, SCIL
suddenly lost its Executive Director
Lee Nattress. Since then, Larry Grable
has been appointed as the new execu-
tive director tasked with taking SCIL to
next level of service to the community.
SCIL is one of only 28 independent
living centers in California. Funded
through state and federal grants, which
continue to shrink, SCIL continues to
advocate, provide benefits counseling,
teach independent living skills, among
other services to persons with disabili-
ties at no charge to the consumer.
The community is invited to visit
SCILs facility, 107 Spring St., in Clare-
mont, on May 28.
The fountain at the front entrance of
San Antonio Community Hospital
(SACH) has stood as an icon of the hos-
pital for decades. While thousands of pa-
tients, visitors and employees have
gathered around the fountain for peace
and relaxation, many may not know
about its rich history.
Bob Clark, an Orange County land-
scape architect, has worked with the hos-
pital since the 1960s. Mr. Clark, who was
involved in the original fountain design,
was fortunate to study under some of the
most noteworthy architectural designers
in southern California in the 1960s, in-
cluding Frank Lloyd Wright and John
Folis, who led the design work of
SACHs original fountain.
Mr. Clark brought these influences
into his renderings for a new fountain to
replace the original that was decon-
structed to make way for the expansion
project in progress at the hospital.
Mr. Clark understands the importance
of capturing the rich history and culture
of the surrounding community as well as
the hospital. A number of stones were re-
tained from the original fountain and a
number will be moved into the fountains
that will be scattered throughout the hos-
pital grounds.
This design pays homage to the orig-
inal inhabitants of this areathe Ameri-
can Indian culture that was here,
explains Mr. Clark.
The stones, both in the original and in
the new fountain, were placed in a circle
formation, which he also explains is rich
in Native American symbolism.
The ring of stones was used by Indi-
ans to give thanks, he said. They
would go into the center of the ring and
give thanks for the sun coming up, the
sky, the rain and for their children. They
had so much compassion.
The water in the fountain depicts life,
from birth to death. Water represents
life because it renews itself over and over
again, Mr. Clark said. It developed our
plant life on earth, which is what devel-
oped growth.
The completion of the SACH fountain
and front entrance is scheduled for the
fall of 2014.

Donald Don Stalwick of Claremont
died on May 7, 2014. He was 83.
He was born on August 19, 1930 in
Aberdeen, Washington to Opal and Bill
Stalwick and grew up in the small min-
ing town of Wallace, Idaho. He very
nearly didnt grow up because at age 5,
he was buried in an avalanche in the
nearby town of Burke and barely sur-
vived. Living through this near-miss typ-
ifies the kind of luck that, combined with
talent and hard work, would lead to a
memorable athletic career.
When he was 4, the elder Mr. Stal-
wick had immigrated with his family to
Minnesota from a region of Germany
that is now part of Poland. At 62,
Dons dad was unusually tall for a man of
his generation. He was also notably burly,
having engaged his entire working life in
physical labor, from farming to millwork.
While in Wallace, his job was installing
timbers in the silver and zinc mines.
Opal had been legally blind from birth.
Despite her limited vision, she helped
support the family with work as a do-
mestic and later with a job at the local
hospital. She was a woman with a strong
personality and an enduring faith, and
saw to it that her son accompanied her to
various evangelical churches. Don, who
was gifted with a fine voice, enjoyed the
musical aspect of the services and sang in
a mens quartet for a time as a teen.
Mr. Stalwick graduated from Wallace
High School in 1949. Despite coming
from such a small school, with only 37
students in his graduating class, he
achieved statewide recognition in foot-
ball, basketball and track. He delivered a
particularly standout performance in the
state championship football game at
Boise in 1949, which was serendipitously
attended by legendary head UCLA foot-
ball coach Henry Red Sanders. He re-
cruited Don on the spot to play for the
Bruins. Mr. Stalwicks initial response,
Ill have to call my mom, is a favorite
family anecdote.
Mr. Stalwick had never traveled be-
yond Idaho and Washington, but he flew
to Los Angeles and spent a thrilling week
seeing the sights and seeking admission
to UCLA. He found that he needed to
take a foreign language course to be ad-
mitted, but he did not return to Idaho.
The coaching staff called his parents,
asked them to send his trunk and
arranged for him to enroll at Chaffey
College where he could play single-wing
football like Sanders coached at UCLA.
While he was at Chaffey, the schools
football boosters arranged for him to live
in the basement of the Sycamore Inn in
Rancho Cucamonga. Mr. Stalwick had an
outstanding season and transferred for
second semester to UCLA, where he
played football as a starting running back
for four years.
Mr. Stalwick played both offense and
defense as one of the gutty little Bruins
who recorded only three conference
losses in the 1951-53 seasons. He let-
tered three years in both football and
rugby and was a member of the 1953
conference championship team that
played in the 1954 Rose Bowl.
Upon graduation from UCLA, Mr.
Stalwick was offered a professional foot-
ball contract by the San Francisco 49ers,
but was unable to sign with them be-
cause he was required to report to the US
Navy for active duty. He was a member
of the US Navy ROTC at UCLA and
was commissioned as an officer upon
graduation. While in the Navy, he played
football on the COMPHIBPAC team in
San Diego, which won the 11th Naval
District Championship in 1954.
Following his service in the Navy, Mr.
Stalwick attended graduate school at
UCLA and coached the freshman foot-
ball team and the ski team. He next
served as head coach at Hart High School
in Newhall, leading his young athletes to
a league championship in 1957.
He was hired at the University of Utah
in 1958 to coach the defensive secondary
and recruit southern California athletes.
In his first year at Utah, the team went to
the Aloha Bowl in Honolulu. In 1963, he
was hired by the University of Colorado
to coach the defensive secondary and re-
cruit southern California athletes. He
stayed in Boulder until 1965, when he
moved to Claremont to become the head
football coach and professor of physical
education at Claremont McKenna Col-
lege, then known as Claremont Mens
College.
After three years at CMC, he and sev-
eral partners started a taco stand in Cov-
ina, Don Taco. He soon decided to return
to education and coaching and was hired
by the Chaffey Joint Union High School
District in 1969. He taught and coun-
seled at Upland, Alta Loma and Chaffey
high schools and then returned to Upland
High as an administrator, where he stayed
for 20 years. During his time at Upland,
he turned a good athletic program into a
powerhouse and was well known in the
Chaffey and Upland districts as the
skilled creator of master schedules that
provided classes to meet all students
needs and interests.
Mr. Stalwick was awarded member-
ship in the athletic halls of fame of Chaf-
fey College, Upland High School and
Wallace High School. He was a member
of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity at UCLA.
Mr. Stalwick married Doreen Davis
in 1952. While teaching and coaching,
they raised three children, Dawn, Kim-
berly and Kent. All were outstanding stu-
dents at Claremont High School. Dawn
and Kimberly were members of the Pep
Squad, and Kent won an athletic schol-
arship for football at Stanford Univer-
sity.
Mr. Stalwick coached Kent in Little
League and later enjoyed watching his
grandsons participate in athletics. Of
course, he delighted in having his kids ac-
company him to UCLA Bruin games.
The family enjoyed many vacations to-
gether, including skiing trips to winter re-
sorts and stays at scenic spots like Lake
Mead and the Colorado River.
In 1982, Mr. Stalwick married Natalie
Bowen. After retirement from Upland
High School, he enjoyed attending home
and away UCLA Bruin football games
and completing home improvement proj-
ects. He also became passionate about
travel in the United States and the world,
visiting nearly every country in western
and eastern Europe before and after the
fall of the Iron Curtain. His myriad des-
tinations included Russia and the former
USSR, China, Japan, Hong Kong, Aus-
tralia, New Zealand, Tanzania, French
Polynesia, Panama, Costa Rica, Chile,
Argentina and Brazil. He and Natalie
made several trips every year to the Big
Island and Maui in Hawaii. His last trip
was to celebrate Christmas 2013 in Maui.
Mr. Stalwick was a charter member
of The Claremont Club and continued to
play tennis there until February of this
year. He played golf and was an avid
snow skier and water skier. For 30 years,
he camped at Lake Powell with a close-
knit group of Claremont families that in-
cluded Ted and Carolyn Ducey and
Clifton and Jane MacLeod.
Mr. Stalwick was preceded in death by
his daughter, Kimberly Stalwick. He is
survived by his wife Natalie of Clare-
mont, by his daughter and son-in-law,
Dawn and Joe Rametta of Park City,
Utah, and by his son and daughter-in-
law, Kent and Diane Stalwick of Clare-
mont. He also leaves his grandsons,
Trevor (Julia) Rametta and Justin (Liis)
Rametta, both of Park City, Utah, Jake
and Kyle Stalwick, both of Claremont,
Michael (Ryann) Stalwick of Austin,
Texas, Brad Stalwick of Rancho Cuca-
monga and Patrick Stalwick of San Luis
Obispo as well as his great-grandson,
Oskar Rametta, of Park City, Utah, and
his great-granddaughter, Kylee, of
Austin, Texas.
A memorial service will be held on
Monday, June 23 at 2 p.m. at Claremont
United Church of Christ Congregational,
233 Harrison Ave. in Claremont. A re-
ception will follow.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests
that memorial donations be sent to the
Alzheimers Association, the American
Cancer Society or a charity of your
choice.

L
ongtime Claremont resident Flo-
rence Gordon Webster celebrated
her 100th birthday Saturday, May
17 at the Claremont Manor, where she
currently resides.
Friends and family of the centenarion traveled from
as far as Texas, Washington and Oregon to join in her
birthday celebration. It was an event not to be missed.
The birthday brunch was an elegant affair for an
equally elegant woman. Hosted by her children, Eliz-
abeth Webster Haberman and husband, Paul, of Bend,
Oregon; Lawrence Webster and partner, Caren White-
side of Claremont; Gerald Webster and wife Sharie of
Brea; and daughter-in-law, Judy Webster (wife of
Gordon who died in 2003), of Tucson, Arizona.
Gorgeous flower arrangements and picture frames
filled with vintage photos of Ms. Webster greeted 115
guests as they entered the beautifully decorated
Manor Hall. As friends and family dined together on
eggs, carved ham and birthday cake, they sipped mi-
mosas and shared stories with one another about Ms.
Websters life. A recent letter from the Today shows
Willard Scott, addressed to the The Centenarian,
was a highlight of many discussions.
Reverend George Silides, Priest-in-Charge at St.
Ambrose Episcopal Church in Claremont, offered a
prayer in honor of the longtime parishioner and in cel-
ebration of an extraordinary life.
Ms. Webster, a second generation Californian, was
born in San Rafael in 1914, but did most of her grow-
ing up in San Diego with her parents and sister Helen.
She met her husband, Ralph, following graduation
from San Diego State College, where she studied
teaching. Mr. Webster, director of materials for Gen-
eral Dynamics in Pomona, moved the family to Clare-
mont in 1953. He died in 1975.
Prior to moving to Claremont Manor in 2006, Ms.
Webster lived in her house on Tenth Street, just west
of Memorial Park. She was very active in civic activi-
ties, as a member of the Board of the American Red
Cross, Claremont High School parent volunteers, St.
Ambrose Episcopal Church and the PEO Sisterhood.
She has been an avid participant in the arts as a potter,
painter, knitter and writer. She recently self-published
a book of short stories and poems shed composed
over the past 75 years, a keepsake to be cherished for
generations to come.
Wearing a colorful sweater and bright smile, Ms.
Webster was visibly thrilled to be in the company of
her seven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
When asked to what she attributes her longevity,
Ms. Webster says she has so many people she loves
and that they all love one another.
Her children jokingly say that its Ms. Websters in-
nate ability to procrastinate that keeps her from mov-
ing on.
A very happy 100th birthday to you, Ms. Webster.

ric: Our Life, an exhibition by Sumi
Foley. As a child, Ms. Foley would
spend hours at her grandmothers house
looking through boxes of kimono
scraps, gazing at the textures and colors.
Seeing her passion for fabric, her grand-
mother taught young Sumi the art of
sewing. Years later, her grandmother
decided to throw away a bundle of old
kimono fabric. Not able to bear the
thought of the beautiful fabric being
discarded, Ms. Foley decided to trans-
form the abandoned fabrics, full of
beautiful designs and colors; and turn
them into something new and beautiful.

hats green and taking the
world of theater by storm?
Shrek: The Musical, which
the CHS Theatre Department will pres-
ent next weekend at Bridges Auditorium.
Based on the 2001 Dreamworks movie Shrek and
William Steigs book of the same name, the produc-
tion was performed nearly 500 times on Broadway.
With performing rights now widely available,
schools everywhere are putting on this family-
friendly show, which sends up the world of fairytales
while promoting self-acceptance.
Fans of the film will be familiar with the story.
Shrek, a surly green ogre, is living happily in self-
imposed exile when his privacy is interrupted. Fairy-
tale creatures, from Pinocchio to The Three Little
Pigs, descend on his swamp after being banished
from the Kingdom of Duloc by a vain nobleman
named Lord Farquaad. Shrek sets out to confront Far-
quaad and regain his solitude.
While on his adventure, he finds friendship in the
form of a talkative Donkey and romance with
Princess Fiona, a beautiful young woman with a se-
cret curse. With Lord Farquaad set on marrying the
princess, its up to Shrek and his newfound friends
to save Fiona from the nasty nobleman and a fire-
breathing dragon. He also must undertake the even
more daunting task of letting down his guard in the
name of love.
Each year, the CHS Theatre season culminates in
a musical performed at the majestic 2,400-seat
Bridges Auditorium. Pulling off a song-and-dance
extravaganza is made more difficult by the fact that
the students must nail their lines and moves while
preparing for finals.
With 65 student performers, 27 set changes and
hundreds of costumes, Shrek is even more intricate
than the usual end-of-year fare. The students are de-
lighted with the show, however, and are throwing
themselves into their respective roles.
Shrek is being played by veteran CHS thespian
David Cumpston, who gets to lighten up after re-
cently starring as a school shooter in the thought-
provoking one-act Bang Bang Youre Dead. RJ
Bivens is using the comedic timing he has honed
during his participation in the schools ComedyS-
portz Team to embody the indomitable Donkey.
Emerson Dauwalter is playing Lord Farquaad,
walking on his knees throughout the show to mimic
the noblemans squat stature. And accomplished
singer Emmalyn Spruce is taking on the part of
Princess Fiona, whose dual human/ogre nature calls
for her to be a quick-change artist.
CHS Music Director Joel Wilson, who says that
the musicals songs have a pop-rock feel, likes that
Shrek offers plenty of fun for kids while serving up
as adult humor that will keep the grownups laughing.
Theater Director Krista Carson Elhai also appreci-
ates the shows wide appeal.
I think my favorite thing about Shrek is what I
liked about Beauty and the Beast. Its a musical for
age 3 through grandparents, she said. Its definitely
a family show.
Performances of Shrek are set for Friday, May 30
at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, May 31 at 2 p.m. and 7:30
p.m. Tickets are $15 general admission, $10 for stu-
dents and seniors and $8 for children.

W
ith a wide array of musical ven-
ues and the annual Folk Music
Festival coming up next week-
end, Claremont is known as a cultural
oasis. Its not every day, however, that the
town plays host to a New Wave legend.
The band Berlin will be giving a free perform-
ance at Rhino Records on Saturday, May 30 at 1
p.m. The synth electro-pop quartet is appearing in
support of their latest album, Animal, which they
released this past September, some 27 years after
Take My Breath Away graced the Top Gun
soundtrack and topped the charts.
The COURIER recently caught up with Berlin
frontwoman Terri Nunn. Still luminous at 52, she
talked about her bands staying power, changes in
the music world and striving for ongoing relevance.
I re-inspire myself by listening to new music
continuously, she said. To keep playing the same
thing over and over gets really boring. Its about
having that infusion of new sounds with the old
people want to hear that.
The digital age has leveled the playing field,
making it possible for musicians to craft a hit with-
out leaving their home office or breaking the bank.
Sites like YouTube have simultaneously created a
platform for emerging artists to gain widespread
exposure.
The downside is that music is free, and thats
hurt a lot of people. Its hurt me in some ways but,
because I love doing concertsthats what I get off
onits worked out.
Fans still turn out in droves for live shows where
they can sing along with Berlins classics. (Many a
fan of alternative rock has belted out MetroI
remember hating you for loving mewhen the
song hits the airwaves.)
Continuing to love Berlin is not an exercise in
nostalgia.
One of the fortunate things about Berlin is that
electronic music is still going. Not only is it still
going, but a lot of bands that play today are using
the same sounds we started with, Ms. Nunn said.
Berlin has continued to produce new music over
the years, releasing seven studio albums. When
performing, Ms. Nunn is careful to strike a graceful
balance between fresh material and old favorites
like No More Words and Masquerade.
Its tricky. Its like a puzzle for me, putting a set
together, she said. People will listen to new
songs, but they came to hear the songs they love.
Im the same way. I want to hear the songs I know
and love. Thats why I bought the ticket.
Ms. Nunn broke into the music scene with a song
called Sex (Im A) and has continued to push
the envelop by singing about the pull of pleasure.
Its a subject that matters, she said, and with which
shes comfortable.
First of all, when we started out, I was 19 and the
majority of us were in our 20s, so thats all we
thought aboutgetting laid, trying to get laid, not
getting laid, she said. Thats the way it is being 20.
The sexual frankness she has displayed since
Berlins 1978 founding can also be attributed to
Ms. Nunns upbringing.
I grew up in a household where sexuality was
okay and not something that you hid under the
rug, she said. My father painted nude women and
those paintings were displayed in the house. My
parents were very okay with human sexuality and
its role in our lives.
Shes still okay with talking and singing about sex
as the years pass. In fact, the title track of the album,
Animal, is about a vigorous bedroom romp.
Now, I not only have it as part of my life, Im in
a really good marriage, she said. Its an active
part of our marriage and Im grateful for that.
In a time when singer Miley Cyrus can proclaim
to interviewer Matt Lauer that people dont have
sex anymore after they turn 40, Ms. Nunn feels
its important to emphasize that sex not only
doesnt disappear with age, it can improve.
It changes. Its different, she said. I wouldnt
go back for a day to when I was in my 20s. That
was good and this is another good.
Ms. Nunn has no plan to step off stage anytime
soon. Some people like to mock the idea of the
aging rock star. By contrast, Ms. Nunn, whose lat-
est album was produced by electro-music pioneers
the Dust Brothers, thinks its wonderful.
Canoodling with the other women musicians who
emerged in her erasuch as Pat Benatar and Joan
Jett, both of whom she will perform with in Laugh-
lin this Sundayis a huge thrill.
In fact, Ms. Nunn confesses that she is more than a
little star-struck by Blondie frontwoman Deborah
Harry, with whom she has recently become friendly.
She came into my dressing room, Ms. Nunn
said. She had no makeup on and was wearing a
cap and orange high tops and its like, Shes Deb-
bie f*@#ing Harry! She doesnt need to impress
anyone. What a wonderful, still-inspiring icon for
me, and now a friend.
After a talk in which they compared notes on life
as a lead singer, Ms. Harry took to the stage.
Shes amazing, like 66 years old, wearing
miniskirts and looking hot and loving it, Ms. Nunn
said. Shes doing what I always hoped people
would do with rock music. I had always hoped that
the artists I loved would continue making music.

W
ith the coming of Memorial
Day, Im reminded of my fa-
ther, Lawrence Wesley Grady,
a man who deserves to be remembered.
As a child, I remember him driving our
car as I sat behind him in the back seat.
From there I could lean forward and touch
with fascination the two dime-size scars
on his neck, one on each side. I had a
vague idea what had caused them, but it
would be years later, as an adult, before I
would fully realize the pain and sacrifice
his scars actually represented.
My father was 26 when he was drafted. He served
with an infantry unit in the Philippines during World
War II. He had been in combat for five weeks on the
island of Mindanao when on May 26, 1945, his unit
was advancing through a coconut plantation. They
failed to see a well-concealed spider hole contain-
ing a single Japanese sniper.
The sniper waited until my father and the others
had passed by before he took aim at my father and
fired. But an instant before he pulled the trigger, my
father suddenly raised his head to look at something.
The bullet, instead of striking him in the head, struck
him in the neck, passing clear through and damaging
his spine.
He awoke days later on a hospital ship where he had
undergone surgery. He had no feeling in his legs and
was told he would never walk again. He did not, how-
ever, accept this diagnosis, and he made up his mind to
beat the odds. Months of therapy followed, and he
never gave up. Then little by little, he improved. Fi-
nally he prevailed, his battle won, and he could walk.
My fathers is an American story of sacrifice for his
country. Born in Waterloo, Iowa in 1918, he traveled
to California, initially to visit his aunt and uncle,
Sadie and Fred Miller, owners of Millers Cleaners on
Indian Hill Boulevard in Claremont.
My father liked it here so much that he soon left
Iowa for good, ultimately settling in Claremont in
1944 with his wife, Shirley, and me, Sandra, not yet a
year old at the time. We lived in a small house behind
Millers Cleaners, a house that now is home to a vio-
lin repair business. My brother, Charles, was born a
few months later, just before our father went to war.
Following the war and my fathers painful recovery,
he became a master carpenter and cabinet maker, and
his fine work can be seen in homes and businesses all
over Claremont and surrounding communities.
He even found time to pursue some hobbiesgold
mining near Quartzite, Arizona and restoring old cars
and John Deere tractors. But I remember him often
rubbing his neck, having never fully recovered from
the war, in pain every day of his life.
Despite his pain, however, my father lived a good
and fruitful life, loved and respected by all who knew
him. In 1998, at the age of 79, he passed away in
Claremont, melanoma having accomplished what the
snipers bullet had failed to do 53 years earlier. He
was buried beneath a magnificent sycamore tree in
Oak Park Cemetery. Besides my mother, brother and
me, he left behind five grandchildren, nine great-
grandchildren and enough fond memories to last us
all a lifetime.
We, as Americans, need to remember our heroes,
and my father was one of them.
Former Claremont resident Lawrence Wesley Grady
was wounded while serving his country in the Pa-
cific Theater of World War II. Mr. Grady made his
home here in Claremont, raising children in a small
home behind Millers Cleaners, which is now the vi-
olin-makers shop.
One more American hero by Sandra Grady
I
n 1918, World War I raged into its
fourth year. The Allied Powers were
reeling before the power of the Hun.
Young Americans were being told it was
up to them to stop the Germans. It was up
to them to win the war that would end all
wars.
One of these young Americans, a lad named
Charles Keith Powell, answered his countrys call.
After graduating from Claremont High School, he
followed his two older brothers, Myron and Warren,
into the war. His folks placed a small flag with three
blue stars in the window of their home on College Av-
enue. We have a postcard that Keith mailed his
mother saying he had arrived safely in France. We
know that his outfit was the American Third Division,
38th Regiment, Company G.
I appreciate that it is difficult for you folks to get a
feel for the world at that time. Perhaps I can help. I
grew up in the Sand Hills of Nebraska in the 1920s
and 1930s. Memories of World War I were still fresh
and tragically painful. Several young men from our
area had gone away to that war. Not all of them came
home.
On the ranch just east of ours, one of the hired cow-
boys, Mr. Lewis, was a one-armed old man who was
said to be a veteran from the war in France. Anytime I
tried to question Mr. Lewis, hed answer with a
wracking cough, spit downwind, then touch a spur to
his cowpony to move away from the questions. Mr.
Lewis, who appeared much older than his years, was
actually a boy like Keith Powell when he lost his
lungs, his youth and his right arm in that war. I regret
never really getting to know Mr. Lewis. He, very
likely, died without his story being told.
In the forested hill country of northern France, dark
green hills flank the Marne River. It was there some
95 years ago that Keith Powell fought in the second
battle of Marne. Almost the same battles were fought
in this same area some three decades later. There is
perhaps a veteran or two here who know well of the
battles fought in that area during World War II, the
war that Keith was told would not happen.
As we search for Keith Powell, we walk out from a
small French village with an unpronouncable name.
On the verdant slope before us, there seems to rest an
early bloom of heather. Coming nearer that soft white
bloom is more clearly seen to be thousands of white
crosses. That field of white on green is surrounded by
stout, vine-covered walls. We enter the massive gate
posts. Black cast-iron letters in English advise that are
entering the American Military Cemetery of Oise-
Asine.
The flag of France does not fly over this field. A
giant American flag flies from a pole on a far rise.
The 6,012 Americans who lie here and the people of
France have made this field American soil. We walk
through the white crosses up to plot B, row 39, grave
1. The name on a white grave marker is Charles Keith
Powell.
As we look upon the simple white cross, our feel-
ings are too complex to voice easily. The quiet
prayers that we say seem inadequate. When we fall
silent, we realize the silence, which is a strongly-felt
presence on this field, is what best honors the mem-
ory of this fallen young American and his comrades.
His family, which includes all of us, wish that he
could be resting in Claremonts Oak Park Cemetery.
We understand, however, it is most appropriate that
he be with his comrades near where he fell.
One fateful morning, this young American got on a
train to go far away. The loving home that he left was
in a tiny village where sweet-smelling lemon groves
surrounded his high school and the small college that
he hoped to attend.
Most of us here, in our own younger days, faced a
similar morning when we were required to get on a
bus or train to go far away. The fact that we remain
together in Claremont widely separates us from Keith
Powell and the host of brave Americans like him.
This acknowledged separation creates an obligation
on the part of those of us who made it home safely.
All of the special young people who did not come
home from the war are our comrades. Some of them
were our good friends. All of them, like Keith Powell,
served their comrades first, then their country, by ac-
cepting the loss of their most previous possession
their lives.

tion to the petition and shows good cause why the
court should not grant the authority.

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 per-
sonal representative appointed by the court within the
later of either (1) four months from the date of first

tive, as defined in section 58 (b) of the California Pro-
bate 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 Cali-
fornia law.
YOU MAYEXAMINE THE FILE KEPT BYTHE
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 ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as
provided in Probate Code section 1250. ARequest for

TENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are consider-
ing bidding on this property lien, you should
understand that there are risks involved in
bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bid-
ding 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 high-
est 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 en-
couraged to investigate the existence, prior-
ity, 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 mort-
gagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant
to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

sale postponements be made available to you
and to the public, as a courtesy to those not pres-
ent at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your

3381, Revenue and
Taxation Code
Pursuant to Sections 3381 through 3385, Revenue
and Taxation Code, the Notice of Power to Sell
Tax-Defaulted Property in and for Los Angeles
County, State of California, has been divided and
distributed to various newspapers of general circu-
lation published in the County. Aportion of the list
appears in each of such newspapers.
NOTICE OFIMPENDING POWER TO SELL
TAX-DEFAULTED PROPERTY
Made pursuant to Section 3361,
Revenue and Taxation Code
Notice is hereby given that real property taxes and
assessments on the parcels described below will
have been defaulted five or more years, or, in the
case of nonresidential commercial property, prop-
erty on which a nuisance abatement lien has been
recorded or that can serve the public benefit by pro-
viding housing or services directly related to low-
income persons when three or more years have
elapsed and a request has been made by a city,
county, city and county, or nonprofit organization
that property will become subject to the Tax Col-
lector's power to sell.
The parcels listed will become subject to the Tax Col-
lector's power to sell on July 1, 2014, at 12:01 a.m.,
by operation of law. The Tax Collector's power to
sell will arise unless the property is either redeemed
or made subject to an installment plan of redemption
initiated as provided by law prior to 5:00 p.m., on
June 30, 2014. The right to an installment plan ter-
minates on June 30, 2014, and after that date the en-
tire balance due must be paid in full to prevent sale
of the property at public auction.
The right of redemption survives the property be-
coming subject to the power to sell, but it termi-
nates at 5:00 p.m. on the last business day before
actual sale of the property by the Tax Collector.
All information concerning redemption or the ini-
tiation of an installment plan of redemption will be
furnished, upon request, by Mark J. Saladino, Los
Angeles County Treasurer and Tax Collector, 225
North Hill Street, First Floor, Los Angeles, Cali-
fornia 90012.
The amount to redeem, in dollars and cents, is set
forth opposite its parcel number. This amount in-
cludes all defaulted taxes, penalties, and fees that
have accrued from the date of tax-default to the
date of June 30, 2014.
I certify, under penalty of perjury, that the forego-
ing is true and correct. Dated this 18th day of
April, 2014.

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 prop-
erty 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 visit the
Internet Web site address listed below for information
regarding the sale of this property, using the file num-
ber assigned to this case file number. 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 post-
ponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

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!

SCRIPPS
Scripps Colleges 2014 commencementspeaker Nonie
Creme, the founding creative director of the global beauty
brand Butter London, urged graduating seniors on Saturday
to not be scared about what comes next in life and to take
risks as they set the world on fire.
Youll carry on reinventing yourself for the rest of your
life, but what you learned here at Scripps will creep in and
tap you on the shoulder at the most amazing times, Ms.
Creme said.
This year, Ms. Creme, a 1994 Scripps graduate, is prepar-
ing the launch of a new global beauty line called Nonie
Creme-Colour Prevails, which will include nail products,
cosmetics and hair color. Ms. Creme has been featured in
Vogue, The New York Times and Womens Wear Daily and
numerous other publications for her work in the beauty field.
As I stand here, in the throes of my next company, which
the press describes as a beauty brand rooted entirely in
paint and paint-like cosmetics, nail polishes and even hair
dyes, I cant help but tear up when I look at each of you and
wonder where Scripps will lead you, Ms. Creme said to the
231 seniors in attendance.
In her commencement address, she retraced her path from
Scripps student to successful entrepreneur managing a multi-
million dollar beauty enterprise. She described her experi-
ences as being far from typical, and by that she meant she did
not attend Harvard Business School. Instead, she relied on
the knowledge gleaned from her Scripps education with
what she refers to as her ferocious spirit to forge her profes-
sional success.
CLAREMONT LINCOLN
UNIVERSITY
When Russell Simmons took to the stage of
Garrison Theatre on Tuesday to speak at the first
convocation of Claremont Lincoln University, he
looked much like a college student, clad as he was
in jeans, sneakers and a zip-up sweatshirt.
Appearances can be deceiving. Mr. Simmons,
co-founder of the pioneering music label Def Jam
Records and co-creator of fashion lines such as the
wildly successful Baby Phat brand, has been cited
as the third richest figure in the world of hip hop.
Mr. Simmons, howeverwhose famous sib-
lings include Rev Run of Run DMC and artist
Joseph Simmonsisnt content to fill his bank ac-
count. A practicing vegan, he is widely involved
in an array of philanthropic causes. He has written
widely about ethical business practices, including
co-authoring Super Rich: A Guide to Having It
All, which espouses giving as a lifestyle choice.
Mr. Simmons said that in a world fraught with
religious tension, the creation of a school aimed at
nurturing future leaders skilled in inter-religious
education, seems like an obvious innovation.
The work youre doing should be so obvious
that its spread around the world, he said. It
seems like it should be the norm.
While he claims no single religion as his own,
Mr. Simmons said he has spent a lifetime study-
ing the various religions of the world. While each
has its own traditions, he feels their commonali-
ties exceed their differences.
They are exactly the same: the aspiration, the
inspiration, the purpose and the service, he said.
The world could use more understanding, the
kind of tolerance fostered by Claremont Lincoln
University, Mr. Simmons said.
The convocation featured presenters of many
faiths, including vocalist and flutist Bassem
Rashidi, who sang a song in English encouraging
people to treasure and guide their children as well
as a call to prayer in Arabic, and Temple Beth Is-
rael Cantor Paul Buch.
Mr. Buch noted that Claremont Lincoln Uni-
versitywhich is currently a candidate for ac-
creditationis very much a work in progress.
Nonetheless, he is excited about the institutions
mission.
I think its extremely important, and not only
locally, he said. We live in a pluralistic society
where we interact with people of other faiths. To
be able to take the wealth of wisdom of all of these
different traditions offers a tremendous opportu-
nity on a global scale.

POMONA COLLEGE
If the job of a commencement
speaker is to offer food for thought,
Pomona College provided a feast at its
121st commencement, held Sunday in
the Marston Quadrangle.
Four distinguished guestsObama
adviser Valerie B. Jarrett, Spanish tenor
Plcido Domingo, Homeboy Industries
founder Father Gregory Boyle and
mathematics professor Michael Star-
birdtook to the podium after being
presented with honorary degrees.
Top Obama Adviser Valerie Jarrett,
who served as the mornings keynote
speaker, entreated the newly minted
grads to make friends with fear.
I encourage you to embrace the phi-
losophy of Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, the
first African woman head of state, who
famously said, If your dreams do not
scare you, then theyre not big
enough, she said.
Ms. Jarretts post has allowed her to
meet some of the worlds greatest lead-
ers, and she hasnt come across a single
one who wasnt scared.
All have found the courage to over-
come their fear and listen to their own
voices, even when that voice is much
softer than the voices that surround
them, she said.
Ms. Jarrett had to muster her own
courage to veer from her well-laid
plans. In college, she had constructed
an itinerary that involved going to law
school, getting married, having her first
child by 30 and making partner in a
prestigious law firm by age 31. It al-
most worked. My daughter was born
just shy of my 29th birthday.
She then found herself in a period of
soul-searching. She had attended a
young leaders conference, meeting
business, civic and political leaders de-
voted to making Chicago a better city.
The experience prompted her to con-
sider public service. And by 30, she and
her husband had separated.
I clearly remember sitting in my
beautiful office on the 79th floor of the
Sears Tower, staring at my very lucra-
tive paycheck and bursting into tears,
because I was absolutely miserable.
Ms. Jarrett quit her job to became a
lawyer for the city of Chicago.
Four years later, I hired a brilliant
young lawyer, with whom I bonded in-
stantly over our shared desire to serve
our community. Her name was
Michelle Robinson and, when we met,
she was engaged to a skinny guy with a
really funny name, Barack Obama.
And the restwell, you know the
rest.
Challenging typical ways of thinking
People immersed in the world of
numbers have a reputation for being
dry. Michael Starbird, a 1970 Pomona
College alumnus who teaches at the
University of Texas at Austin, turned
this notion on its ear by delivering one
of the mornings more thought-provok-
ing speeches.
Its important for people to acknowl-
edge that even our most firmly held
views might be wrong, according to
Mr. Starbird.
What you revere as core truths may
later reveal some kind of disturbing nu-
ance, such as later it will seem com-
pletely bogus, he laughed.
Anyone who says they are 100 per-
cent sure of an opinion is saying
theyre close-minded, he said. In con-
trast, Mr. Starbird urged his audience to
engage in self-examination.
Do you really know why you sup-
port the collections of opinions you
hold dear? he asked. The answer is
you dont, and neither do the people
who have opposite opinions. Acrimony
ensues.
Mr. Starbird went on to make a mod-
est proposal that he said would promote
civility and humility.
Each time you state an opinion, you
should also state a percentage that ac-
tually captures how strongly you be-
lieve it, he suggested.
For example: You say, I think the
death penalty is a bad idea. 80 per-
cent, he said. If somebody gives you
some credible evidence on the opposite
side, you dont have to abandon your
opinion altogether. You have room to
wiggle and you say, I still think the
death penalty is not a great idea, but
now only 68 percent.
Mr. Starbird wished the grads well,
100 percent.
Also saluting the Pomona College
Class of 2014 was Plcido Domingo.
He didnt raise his voice in the tenor for
which he is famed. He did, however,
sing the praises of Pomona College and
its long association with the Los Ange-
les Opera, where he conducts. He also
took a moment to commend the skill of
the Pomona College choir and orches-
tra, who had performed earlier.
The days final speaker was Father
Gregory Boyle, who founded Home-
boy Industries to combat gang violence
with job training, life skills and em-
ployment opportunities. The rewards of
his job include seeing former gang
members who were once enemies work
side-by-side.
They used to shoot bullets at each
other. Now they shoot text messages,
he said.
Dont throw anyone away, Father
Boyle urged.
The measure of your compassion
lies not in your service of those on the
margin but in your willingness to see
yourself in kinship with them.
The speeches were followed by a
moment of solidarity, when the gradu-
ates rose collectively to receive well-
earned degrees.
