Dear Editor:
I fully agree with Chet and Eileen
Jaegers letter published June 5 that the
upcoming water-aving plan discriminates
against conscientious, civic-minded residents who have already implemented
water-saving ideas, something we were
asked to do voluntarily years ago.
The 32 percent reduction favors those
homeowners who are responsible for
Claremont having to reduce consumption
by seven percent more than the state mandate requires. It is also likely to encourage
homeowners to use more water once the
drought ends, in anticipation of future percentage reductions.
Instead of a blanket 32 percent reduction, why not implement a water-saving
program based on the size of the lot and
the number of persons living in the household? Lot size numbers are readily available and household numbers could be
established and verified with a phone call
or letter. Temporary adjustments and exceptions, such as a child moving back
home, could also be put in place.
Lets not reward the water hogs.

Calaycay was espousing how wonderful
Claremont has been in providing sustainability practices for Claremont in recent
years at the Bill McKibben talk at Bridges
Auditorium as part of the conference
Seizing an Alternative: Toward an Ecological Civilization.
Yet, the council approved the cutting
down of beautiful trees at the request of a
parent with unfounded evidence or proof
that these trees were causing her sons allergies to worsen. In addition, this same
mayor and city council approved four new
ADVENTURES
housing developments to be built just this

past year, creating humongous water
usage, resources consumption, more congestion (traffic and emissions from cars)
and taking away from the beauty of this
city.
And then to top it off, Mr. Calaycay encouraged attendees to go out to shop in
Claremont and be good consumers! You
cant have it both ways. You cant talk out
of both sides of your mouth without losing

Losing Claremont
Dear Editor:
Could someone please explain what is
happening to the city of Claremont? Is it
just getting too crowded or are too many
people from other cities coming and
changing the vibe?
Weve lost something in the rush to
(over)develop and get people to Discover
Claremont.
Witness the following that happened on
an otherwise peaceful Friday afternoon
outside Some Crust bakery: After a nearcollision in front of the bakery, a customer
sitting at one of the tables felt okay saying
in front of everyone to the driver, You almost caused a crash, a#*hole.
This was in front of the drivers young
child, no less. Little did the customer
know that the person he said this to is an
accomplished author and the grandson of
the founder of one of Claremonts oldest
and most beloved businesses.
Even if the driver was perhaps in the
wrong for the U-turn he made, that is certainly no reason to call someone an
a#*hole in public. The aggressive manner
in which the accuser handled himself was
unwarranted. He was in the wrong and
should have behaved in a civil way and offered the driver an apology for speaking
to him that way.
I couldnt help but wonder if the driver
had been a white senior citizen instead of

City lifts pool-filling restrictions, El Roble pool drained
city-imposed restriction preventing

homeowners from filling their
pools and ponds was lifted last
week by the Claremont City Council.
Council, by a 4-0 vote, approved an ordinance removing the limitation from the citys municipal code.
Opanyi Nasiali abstained after missing the previous
council meeting where the item was discussed.
The limitation was part of the Level 2 water supply
shortage condition declared by City
CITY
Manager Tony Ramos pursuant to
COUNCIL
Claremonts Municipal Code, a declaration that was confirmed by city council at its regular
meeting on April 28.
Shortly thereafter, city staff received comments and
letters asking the city to reconsider the restrictions related
to the filling of swimming pools and ponds, stating that
once filled, swimming pools use significantly less water
that turf on a per-square-foot basis.
Given that the state has taken no action to restrict the
use of water to fill swimming pools, city staff felt that
lifting the local restriction was appropriate and brought
the matter to council on May 26. The ordinance was
brought to council again on June 9, which then voted to
adopt the ordinance.
It was music to the ears of Charles Madanski, who
makes his living in the pool industry and spoke in public comment on May 26 to implore the council to rescind
the ordinance. Mr. Madanski had replaced his own turf
backyard with hardscape in 2009, adding a pool in 2011,
and presented evidence to the council members that his
water use has actually decreased as a result.
Ive pulled my water bills from June through August
2009 and the same time frame in 2014. Within a 62-day
period, I was using 95 units of water back in 2009 compared to 77 units in 2014, he told the council. That averages out to 18 gallons a day in savings, just by
replacing the turf. From April to June 2009 and the same
time frame in 2014, I used 131 units of water compared
to 118 units, which averages to 14 gallons of water a day.
Thats 505 gallons a week I was saving, and thats without a solar blanket or solar shield or any of the solar ad-

ditives that you can add to your pool.

Mr. Madanski added, Im not advocating replacing
turf with pools, but I think having restrictions on filling
pools and draining pools is a little bit out of line.
Following the closing of public comment, Mayor
Corey Calaycay inquired of city staff if residents could
empty their pools into the storm drain.
If youre under a certain size and as long as you
dechlorinate the pool, you actually can release it into the
street, Claremonts Director of Community Development Brian DeSatnik explained to council. School pools
and commercial pools have other requirements. The Col-
leges are emptying a pool and theyre using the pit east
of Claremont Boulevard. The MS4 issue is where the
dechlorination comes in, but they do not restrict small
pools from being released into the system.
In April 2015, Claremont city staff was notified that
the pool at El Roble Intermediate School had become inoperable. The pools pump had given out and as a result,
the city was forced to cease its summer aquatics program
for 2015.
In early May, the El Roble pool was drained and
300,000 gallons of water were incorporated into the

Melanson at 3:26 p.m. on July 29,
2014 and released him less than 30
minutes later on $20,000 bail.
He was arraigned in Pomona Court

17-year-old male had staggered off campus around 10:30 a.m. and was having
difficulty maintaining his balance. Officers caught up with the teen on the corner of St. Bonaventure and Oak Park,
where he was detained and questioned
by police. When asked if hed been

A Claremont woman taking a nap
woke up to a nightmare after discovering thieves had broken into her home.
According to Lieutenant Mike Ciszek, a
resident on the 600 block of Purdue
Drive had been home all day when she
decided to catch a wink in her bedroom
around 3:30 p.m. Approximately two
hours later, she was awoken by the sound
of footsteps and called out thinking it
was her son. When there was no response, she walked into the living room
and discovered her sliding glass door
was wide open and her son was nowhere
to be found. The victim told officers the
slider was closed and secured prior to her
slumber and further investigation re-
vealed pry marks on the door. No property was taken. The investigation remains ongoing.

A limb length discrepancy wasnt to
blame for one driver who was arrested
for DUI. Joseph Chappa was driving on
Indian Hill near San Jose Avenue when
he was stopped by officers around 12:21
a.m. for speeding and making a lane
change without signaling. While speaking with police, the 31-year-old man exhibited signs of drunkenness and
admitted hed had two or three whiskey
sours. Mr. Chappa performed a field sobriety test with some difficulty and when
asked by officers if he saw any hazards
on the sidewalk he replied, No, my left
leg is slightly longer than my right leg
but it doesnt affect my balance. The
Fontana man was found to be just over
the legal limit and arrested for driving
under the influence.

Water-wise expo offers torrent of sustainable ideas
overnor Jerry Browns declaration

of a state of emergency, and his
subsequent mandate that cities reduce water-use statewide, has inspired
many a Claremonter to rethink how their
garden grows.
The strong level of motivation was evident in the
healthy turnout at a Low-Water Expo held Sunday at
the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden. The free event,
which ran from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., was organized by
members of Sustainable Claremonts DRIP (Drought
Resistant Irrigation Program).
DRIP, according to the Sustainable Claremont website, promotes attractive, climate-appropriate landscapes in Claremont, encourages the use of efficient
irrigation, water conservation and water reclamation
and provides resources to help local property owners
achieve those aims.
The city of Claremont threw its support behind the
expo, as did the Garden, which provided space for the
event, free day-of admission and coupons for another
complimentary visit.
The expo fell on a dry and scorching hot day, underlining the climactic state of affairs that prompted the
event. Still, community members showed up in droves,
taking in 10-minute presentations by experts and
browsing booths with information for those looking to
switch out their thirsty lawns and plants for water-wise

A huge building full of hope

by John Pixley
o, I havent seen the Hall of Fame.

I have never been downstairs. And
I didnt know that Winston
Churchill had been there.
My friend had returned from using the restroom at

Bridges Auditorium, and, although I thought Wow!
when he told me that a picture of Winston Churchill is
among the pictures of those who have appeared on its
stage that are on the wall in the basement, I wasnt surprised. From the time I grew up here in Claremont, I
have heard about famous performers and speakers who
have appeared on this stage, and I have enjoyed seeing
a good number of them.
I have always felt, in fact, that its too bad that more
performers and speakers dont appear there. Its a
shame that this great theater, the biggest collegiate auditorium on the west coast with something like 2400
seats, doesnt have performances and presentations (as
opposed to graduations and other such semi-private
events) every week, if not every evening. Big Bridges
closed for weeks or months, including during the
school year, is a terrible waste. So I was glad to go
there a few weeks agoall the more so with the Colleges not in session for the summerwith my friend.
We were there to see the Claremont High School production of The Addams Family.
It is always a treat to see the big, end-of-the-year,
musical production in the big theater, even if I still wish
there was live musical accompaniment as in the past.
This is big-time stuffWinston Churchill, after all,
was once on this stageand the hardworking kids,
working under the direction of the even harder-working
Krista Elhai, deserve it. Once again, they didnt disappoint.
The Addams Family may not be My Fair Lady,
and its definitely no Carousel, but it is a lot of fun.
Based on the old popular television sitcom, which was
inspired by the cartoons of Charles Addams, the musical is about what happens when Wednesday, the daughter in this family of ghouls, falls in love with a
normal boy and her parents, Morticia and Gomez,
host a get-acquainted dinner for the boys parents. On
this simple plot hangs lots of silly puns and gags, including a troupe of zombie dancers, and the students
had fun and did their best to let fly with them.
Like I said, it was a treatand an inspiring oneto
see these young people doing what they clearly love so
observer
well. Jason Acosta was extra fun in his make-up-laden
role as Uncle Fester, who serves as a narrator of sorts
while having his own private adventure. And Xavier
Reynoso, playing Wednesdays bratty younger brother
Pugsley who loves nothing more than being tortured
and miserable, was a pint-sized revelation. The real
treat is that this kid, who my friend said has chops, is
only a freshman, so well hopefully be seeing much
more of him.
Yes, hooray for the CHS kids and Ms. Elhai once
again, but I have to say that, as bright-eyed and brightening they were, they still didnt prepare me for what I
saw a days later. Not only was there another presentation at Big Bridges, in the quiet (or relatively quiet)
month of June, there was Pete Seeger greeting the audience that had gathered and singing Where Have All
the Flowers Gone for the occasion.
This was on video, of course, but it was nevertheless
breathtaking. I could hear gasps in the audience, as the
renowned folk-singer and activist, filmed at his rural
home nearly a year and a half ago, explaining that he
had been invited but, because of advancing age and decreasing energy, wasnt sure where he would be at this
time. He died months later, the tape now a whalloppacking reminder that hope and energy live on.
This was a message that was most appropriate for
this audience that had gathered. It was a huge, eager
audience, almost filling the cavernous hall, and it was
gathered for the four-day Tenth International Whitehead Conference, held in conjunction with several
other international conferences and including a significant contingent from Asia, with the theme, Seizing the
Alternative: Towards an Ecological Future.
The Seeger video was shown during the first of several free, open-to-the-public plenary sessions held in
Big Bridges over the long weekend of numerous presentations and discussions exploring how people from
all walks and faiths can work together to fight global
warming and develop a sustainable, thriving world
community. There were numerous other greetings, including from Claremont Mayor Corey Calaycay, who
confessed to being nervous about speaking in front of

such a large audience as he touted Claremonts efforts
in being an ecologically-friendly town (including by
him and his fellow councilmembers in their own
homes and lives). Also featured in this and one other
plenary session I attended were the Pilgrim Pickers,
Pilgrim Places resident string band and perhaps Claremonts unofficial go-to house band.
Following the Seeger video on the first evening, Bill
McKibbon, the famed climate change activist, spoke.
While he essentially gave the same talk that he gave
when he was here a few years ago, it was an important
message: yes, the planet is in dire shape due to warming which we humans have causedindeed, it could
be that it is too late to reverse the effects of the warmingbut there is hope in the activism that he has inspired and evident in the weekends gathering.
This activism, with a diversity of people coming together, is what the conference was all about. An important aspect, and a key image, was the kick-off to a new
organization and website called Pandopolus, bringing
together research and information about climate change
and the efforts to stop it. As explained in another plenary session and illustrated in another video, this undertaking is inspired by the Pando, the aspen grove in
Utah which is the largest living organism on earth sharing a root system and which is now endangered.
It is hoped that these four days in Claremont were
the beginning of a movement, a movement based in
shared roots and a common passion. At least thats how
John Cobb, a retired noted theologian and philosopher
who lives at Pilgrim Place, sees it. This conclave, it
seemed, was his baby, something of a life-culminating
achievement.
And, as he explained during extended remarks during the second plenary session, the passion that is
shared for caring for our planet is the key. As Mr.
Cobb outlined, we need to have a new outlook, based
more in our hearts and on caring, different from the
outlook developed in the 1700s, when the world came
to be seen as a clock, a mechanism to be observed and
also used objectively. When we see the planet as a
machine, he maintains, it is too easy not to be concerned when it is used too much or is even breaking
down (after all, a machine can always be repaired).
Putting on a musical takes a lot of passion and
working together. So does saving our planet. Thats
what a great building like Big Bridges is for and why
it needs to keep being used.

VMG and the museum
Dear Editor:
This letter is in response to the Viewpoint by Kirk Delman in last weeks
COURIER. Mr. Delmans points regarding the Pomona College Art Museum are
well-taken, and wed like to add a few
other thoughts as Pomona and the city of
Claremont work out details regarding the
museums location.
We are longtime Claremonters. One of
us is a third-generation resident and the
other here for more than 30 years. Weve
owned two Village businesses and live
within a couple of blocks of the proposed
building site. We are both ardent supporters of all that makes Claremont the city it
is, and believe the new art museum will
add to Claremonts legacy as a community
that supports the arts.
Weve been watching the to and fro regarding the location of the museum with
interest, and believe the following points
may assist in making a positive decision
that the museum be located in the middle
of town at the southwest corner of College
and Bonita.
As we understand, there is the possibility of the new museum being deeply embedded inside the grounds of Pomona College. We believe this is not the most
advantageous spot for the college or for
the community. We see Bonita and Collegea natural bridge between the Village
and the Claremont Collegesas a way to
highlight both town and gown. The museum is promised to be a beautiful architectural structure that will hold Pomonas
impressive art collection, which includes
Rembrandt, Picasso, JMW Whistler,
Andy Warhol, Karl Benjamin, Ansel
Adams, Goya, Orozco and more.
Imagine walking near the corner of College and Bonita and being able to view

highlighting emerging and under-represented artists, then turning the corner and
viewing Pomonas comprehensive collection of Native American art. All of this
right in the heart of Claremont for students, community residents and visitors to
explore. The college is including a welcome addition in the design: a room community members may use for meetings
and events.
We are excited about all that will be
possible once the new structure is built and
the museum becomes a local art treasure
for all to enjoy.

Brahms and Strads
Dear Editor:
Thank you for your article publicizing
the extraordinary musicians who performed on the Stradivarius violin dating to
1714, the Guarneri violin dating to 1742
and a viola similar to the Stradivarius dating to the the 18th century, under the banner of the chamber music group Salastina.
The musicians included the principal
cellist and also the principal violist for the
Los Angeles Philharmonic, a violin soloist
with the LA Phil and a teacher at the
Coburn School of Music, alongside a fascinating and detailed explanation of the
music by KUSCs Brian Lauritzen.
Being in Little Bridges, just a few rows
away from such outstanding musicians
playing instruments that I never thought I
would get to hear live in my lifetime, was

incredibly moving and inspiring.
Many thanks to J. Brown Violin Maker
for bringing this music into our midst and
to Dr. William Sloan for loaning his rare
instruments to the musicians so that we
could hear them played. I hope that
Salastina will return to Claremont once
again, and that many more people will
take advantage of the opportunity to experience their transcendent music.

Clever title, misinformed opinion
Dear Editor:
YouYoung Kangs comments in the
May 22 COURIER reek of fear and misunderstanding about the future of technology in education. To say that the use
of iPads in our CUSD classrooms benefits only the Apple corporation shows little insight in how this iGeneration learns.
Smart technology has been available to
these students since their birth; why
would we take that away from them in an
educational setting? Todays devices are
only limited by the users imagination
and skills on the device. By conceptualizing an iPad as only an expensive toy,
Ms. Kang exposes her own limitations.
This year, each of my third graders
had their own iPads to use and learn just
as they have textbooks. In my 21-year
professional opinion, iPads have transformed my students into the type of 21st
century learners that the new Common
Core State Standards expect and challenge our students to become. Our districts investment in this unparalleled
technology has enabled access to previ-
ously inconceivable and sophisticated

audio/visual projects and presentations.
My third grade students have used
iPads to conduct research, write reports
and make traditional shoe box dioramas
come to life by utilizing Green Screen
Technology.
Recently, my students completed a
project to learn about adaptation. To address this state standard, my third graders
worked in collaborative groups on a particular biome. IPads were used to complete the research in an interesting and
engaging manner. Green Screen video
technology was used to present their project from within the biome. They pieced
the video clips, photos and narrative descriptions of animal and plant adaptations into an iMovie production, thus creating
sophisticated
audio/visual
presentations that truly redefined the curriculum in a way previously unimaginable.
Finally, Ms. Kang writes about glitches
during testing. In my classroom and
school site, I can positively claim that
testing has gone very smoothly with regards to the technology. Throughout the
year, when problems arose, albeit infrequently, our iPads helped us learn how to
become better problem-solvers. It would
be laziness and a lack of creative
thinking to discard these devices because of our own limitations.
Clever opinions without research easily captivate those who are uninformed.
The truth of the matter is, CUSD has
done its homework and has extensively
trained its excellent and amazing teachers. The district is committed to our 21st
century vision of education.

Rosa Augusto
OBITUARIES
Courageous immigrant, devoted friend

Rosa Louisa Letechi Augusto, a
longtime Claremont resident, died
peacefully in her sleep on Saturday,
June 6, 2015. She was 95.
She was born in the middle of the
earth on March 22, 1920 in the coastal
town of Guayaquil, Ecuador in South
America. She and her childhood friends
Maria and Josephine were very supportive of each other, and Rosa was
considered more like a family member
than a friend. In fact, Maria made Rosa
the godmother of her youngest daughter Maria. To be a madrina or godmother is a special role in the Catholic
religion, similar to being a spiritual
mother of a child all their lives.
After a series of events, including the
death of Rosas mother, she and her
friends made plans to immigrate to the
United States together. Josie left first,
then Maria made plans to leave her
child in Rosas care while she sought
work in America. A year later, in 1949,
Rosa and little Maria left together for
New York City where the other two
women had found work. It was winter
and Rosa, who had come from a tropi-
cal land, had never seen snow. In fact,

she had never traveled outside her rural
homeland, so it took courage to be in
one of the largest cities in the world and
to begin a new life without knowing the
language.
As with so many immigrants, she accomplished this task with courage and
Robert Bob Thorne

A Celebration of Life will be held in
honor of Dr. Robert F. Thorne at Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden on Saturday, July 11 at 5 p.m.
Dr. Thorne was professor emeritus at
the Claremont Graduate University Department of Botany at Rancho Santa
Ana Botanic Garden as well as Pomona
College, and taxonomist and curator
emeritus of the RSA-POM herbarium.
He died on March 24, 2015 at age 94.

The Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden is located at 1500 N. College Ave.
in Claremont. In lieu of flowers, the
family requests that Bob Thornes life
be honored by donations to RSABG to
be used to advance the kind of scientific work to which he dedicated his
professional life.
determination and without an education

or special work skills. The three
women encouraged each other and like
her friends, Rosa found work, first as
an au pair and afterwards as a designer
of hats for her employers business. A
few years later, she met and married a
Portuguese seaman, Jose Augusto, and
they had three children, Jose, Anthony
and Maria. They lived in Long Island
for many years.
In the late 70s, Ms. Augusto was encouraged by her two friends to move to
California, and it was then that she and
her husband bought a home on Arrow
Highway in Claremont. Although they
would divorce many years later, Rosa
and Jose remained friends until the
ends of their lives.
After her divorce, her godchild encouraged Ms. Augusto, who was a
friendly and caring person, to use her
people skills and to be more a part of
her community. Although she was in
her 60s, she became a caretaker for seniors who were in their 90s. Rosa entertained them with her storytelling and
her amusing proverbs. For example,
when she described someone who was
making excuses she would say, If
someone wants a kiss, they find the
lips. Or if she felt a person was not
being truthful, she would add, It is
easier to catch a liar than a lame man.
These were colorful sayings from her
native culture that often made people
laugh.
Ms. Augusto eventually began to
volunteer at the Joslyn Senior Center,
and continued to serve devotedly for 25
years. She made many friends and because of her dedicated work, the city of
Claremont gave her an honorary certifi-
cate. Some years later, the California

Senate celebrated her with a commendation as a Heroine for the Day, an
award she joyfully received.
Ms. Augusto was in her 90s when
she died, yet her friendships with people of all ages were of long duration.
Once you were Rosas friend, she never
forgot you during holidays, your birthday or your anniversary. She did this
through visitations, phone contact and,
when she could no longer get around,
by keeping the art of letter writing
alive.
She prayed for people both living
and dead and, because of her loving nature and her advancing years, her
prayer time increased as she commended the living and the dead to God.
Rosas friendship with Maria lasted
88 years, longer than most marriages!
They lost Josie, who passed a few years
ago in her late 90s. Maria is now 96
and, when asked how she felt about losing her lifelong friend, she answered,
It is a profound sadness than only
Rosa would understand.
Rosa leaves her children, Jose, Anthony and Maria, six grandchildren and
six great-grandchildren as well as her
godchild, Claremont resident and counselor Maria J. Andrade. She also leaves
her extended family and many other
friends who will not forget her.
A mass was held in her honor at Our
Lady of Assumption Church. Contributions may be made in Rosa Augustos
name to the Friends of Claremont Senior Foundation, 660 N. Mountain Ave.,
Claremont, CA 91711.
Joanne Hobo
OBITUARIES
Contractor, loving matriarch, active volunteer

Joanne Hobo, a La Verne resident
who was involved in the Claremont
community with her daughters and
grandchildren and also worked for the
Claremont-based certified public accounting firm Gray, Salt & Associates,
died on June 8, 2015. She was 80.
She was born Johanna Christina Van
Ingen Schenau on September 26, 1934
in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Her father, Willem Jan Batiste Van Ingen
Schenau, was an organist, choir director,
church music composer and head of
purchasing at the nations leading sugar
company, CSM Sugar Factory.
Joanne,or Hanny as she was called
as a child,grew up giving declamatory
readings of poetry and scripture in
churches, prisons and such renowned
concert halls as Het Concertgebouw.
Her mother, Johanna Wilhelmina Van
Ingen Schenau-Breman, was a devoted
homemaker and volunteer with the International Red Cross. Joanne was the
middle childher older brother Warner
and she often got into mischiefand
she had a younger brother Bert whom
she liked to mother.
She lived in Amsterdam and attended
Protestant schools there. During her elementary school years, Joanne and her
family survived World War II and Hollands Hunger Winter during the Nazi
Occupation. As a child, she walked to
school daily through a Jewish middleclass neighborhood and often shared the
horrors of witnessing the razzias, or
raids, on the Jews who were being
rounded up in trucks and sent to deportation camps. She described how helpless she felt seeing families screaming
for each other and shoved in separate
wagons.
Her father, the organist of the Waal
Church where her family attended, organized the children of the church to
stay with farming families at a sister
church in Friesland. Travel was risky,
undertaken in boats in the dead of night
trying to escape the eye of the oppressor. Upon arrival in Friesland, the family slated to house her was disappointed
that she was a girl as her nickname was
Hans, typically a boys name.
When the war was over, she and her
eldest brother Warner traveled a few
hundred miles back to Amsterdam by

foot and sometimes by bike.
After the war, she graduated a year
early from anall-girls high school
where she excelled at language, art and
mathematics. A girl of many talents, she
was also a skilled gymnast, and once
won a silver medal in the City of Amsterdam championships. Joanne subsequently spent a year on a farm in France
and then returned to work at a
bookstoreas abookkeeper. During this
time, she was still active in her church
and was part of an acting group called
Con Spirito (with spirit), a Christian
drama troop whichperformed all over
the Netherlands.
It is there that she met her future husband Gary, or Ger, Hobo. As the story
goes, the group from upscale Amsterdam South where she lived needed another male actor. Gerrit Hobo, from the
more working-class Amsterdam West,
was appointed. The duo soon performed
in a host of plays together including
Een Vesting Viel (A Fort Fell), where
the couple was engaged to be married as
part of the plot of the play. Three
months later, Ger asked for Hannys
hand in marriage in real life. She accepted and they were married on October 21, 1955 at city hall in Amsterdam
and began their work as managers of a
Christian Inn in Hollands countryside.
During this time, with great joy and
excitement,they were blessed with their
first daughter, Johanna Wilhelmina.
Blessings kept coming as two years

later came Hilde Annemarie.
After 10 years of hotel and restaurant
management, witha few renovationsincluding a castle, the couple set off for a
new life in the United States following
Joannes brother Warner, or Warren, as
he was then called. Before they left in
June 1966, Mrs. Hobo was expecting
their third child. She and the family arrived in southern California, and in January 1967 blessing number three arrived
in the form of Inge Janice. Inge wasthe
first of the family to be born on US soil.
Not one to waste time, Mrs. Hobo
quickly got to work using her accounting skills, first at a drapery company
and then at Cable Commuter Airlines,
later Golden West Airlines in Ontario,
where she was chief accountant. There
was another blessing on the way: in
1970 her fourth daughter,Christina Johanna,was born.
In 1971, she continued to utilize her
accounting skills as vice president and
controller at William E. Myers Corp., a
residential building company. After this
exposure to the construction industry, in
1975 Mrs. Hobo became one of the first
women in the state of California to obtain her General Contracting License.
License in hand, she established her
own commercial building firm entitled
Heritage Development Company and
used Amsterdam canal houses as the
company logo. During this time, she
built several high-rise buildings used for
the legal and medical fields in Santa
Ana near the federal courthouse.
In 1984, she moved her business to
the Pomona area under the new name
Leyden-Pacific. She continued to work
up until her mid-70s, using her accounting skills at her daughter Johannas CPA
firm.
Not one to limit her talents to the professional world, Mrs. Hobo was a consummate volunteer as a Girl Scout troop
leader, Sunday School teacher, church
choir member, accountant for Valley
Community Drive-In Church, president
of the Reformed Church Women at
New Hope Community Church, regional director and national treasurer of
the National Association of Women in
Construction, event manager for the
Dutch American Heritage Day Gala, active member and newsletter editor for
the Netherlands American Society, and
one of the founders of the Netherlands
American Business Association, which
later became the Netherlands Chamber
of Commerce in Los Angeles.
Anyone who met Joanne knew she
loved a good party, and she was the definition of an extrovert. Not only could
she organize an entire event, she was
the life of the party and a force to be
reckoned with. She knew just about
everybody at any event she attended
and never shied away from meeting
new people, nor from telling you her
opinion about things. She was tenacious, talented, dutiful, faithful and
proud. She took the message of Jesus
urging his followers to use all of their
talents quite literally. By day, she was a
professional businesswoman and in her
free time she was devoted to her family,
her church and her community.
She will be sorely missed,but her
legacy of duty, service, faithfulness and
hard work is not only evidenced in her
four daughters who all work professionally and concurrently volunteer, but also
in her grandchildren who do the same.
Mrs. Hobo is survived by her daughters and sons-in-law, Johanna Sweaney
Salt and Jonathan Salt, Annemarie and
Matthew Snyder, Inge Hobo-Scheinfarb
and David Scheinfarb and Christina
Oudshoorn-Hobo and Stevin Oudshoorn, and by her grandchildren, Calli,
Dalton and Allyson Sweaney, Evan,
Brendan and Grant Snyder, Jacob,
Sarah and Ethan Scheinfarb and Neale,
Eden and Lieve Oudshoorn-Hobo.
She also leaves her brother and sisterin-law, Bert and Janneke van Ingen
Schenau; her nephew and his wife,
Willem and Anita van Ingen Schenau,
and their children Jesse and Sil; and her
nephew and his wife, Warner and Suus
van Ingen Schenau, and their son Mik.
A memorial service was held on Saturday, June 13 at Sierra Vista Church in
Upland. Donations may be made in
Joanne Hobos name to the Challenges
Foundation (challengesfoundation.org),
an organization aimed at improving the
lives of veterans and foster kids through
sailing.

OBITUARIES
Counselor, people person, loving wife

Maxine Thornton Denham died on
Friday, June 5, 2015. With her husband
John, she was for 24 years a resident of
Pilgrim Place. She celebrated her 100th
birthday on August 12, 2014.
Born Maxine Belle McKinley in Vermillion, South Dakota, she grew up in
Manhattan, Kansas and graduated from
Kansas State University in 1936. Her
first jobs were as executive director of
YWCAs in Oklahoma and at Boston
University. She earned a masters degree from Columbia University and a
Master of Divinity from Union Theological Seminary, both in New York
City. In 1939 she was a delegate to the
World Conference of Christian Youth in
Amsterdam and returned just before
transatlantic travel became hazardous.
She was married in 1941 to Leonard
Ted Frend Thornton, with whom she
had four boys. When he was ordained,
the family lived in Kirkwood, Missouri.
He was a college chaplain and she
headed the campus YWCA. The family
returned to New York, where he studied
at Union Seminary and was on the staff
of the Church of the Ascension in
Greenwich Village. She was head of the
YWCA in Yonkers, New York. Ted died
of cancer in 1955. As a widow, Maxine
spent many hours obtaining full scholarships to enable her four fatherless sons
to receive quality education in east coast
prep schools and colleges.
The national office of the YWCA in
New York City recognized quality and
hired Maxine for its staff. While serving there, she developed lifelong
friends who many years later encouraged her to move to Pilgrim Place in retirement. Her YWCA reputation led the
national staff of the Episcopal Church
to recruit her to help develop a new
church school curriculum and train
adults to implement it. While living in
Greenwich, Connecticut, she was director of Christian education at Christ
Church, Greenwich. She traveled all
over the United States as an
educator/trainer. With the organization
unwilling to let her go entirely, she was
elected to and served for six years on
the National Board of the YWCA.
It was while in her traveling Episcopal Church position that she met John
Denham, an Episcopal clergyman in
Baltimore who was in similar work on
a regional level. In 1968, the National

Council of Churches appointed her to a
six-week Intercultural Education Leadership Exchange to the Republic of
South Africa. There she introduced human relations training to mixed-race
groups, not approved by the government at that time.
Pilgrim Place resident Anne Hope
participated in one of the weeklong
workshops Maxine helped lead. It involved three groups of about a dozen
people, representing various Christian
denominations and people of all ethnic
backgrounds. After a period of silence,
the participants spent 40 hours engaging in an unprecedented way. This was
a situation where blacks and whites
hardly mixed at any depth at all in normal situations. Churches tended to be
very separated, because residential areas were separated, Ms. Hope said.
The trainers largely served as observers, discovering the dynamics of
the disparate group members. After setting up some ground rules, Maxine and
her colleagues watched as the group
discovered issues to be addressed and
work to be done as well as becoming
familiar and comfortable with one another.
Maxine was a very skilled trainer,
someone who had deep insight into
peoples motivation, anxiety, fears and
excitement, Ms. Hope recalled. Extraordinary trust was built by the end of
the program.
While still employed in New York,

she went back to grad school, this time
to study individual, marriage and family psychotherapy at Blanton-Peale
Graduate Institute. After leaving her national Episcopal Church position, she
established pastoral counseling centers
at churches in Manhattan and
Bronxville, New York.
By spring of 1971, all four of Maxines sons had graduated from college:
Oberlin, Macalester, Princeton and Harvard. She then said she felt free to
marry John Denham. He had started a
new leadership development organization in Washington, DC and she opened
a pastoral counseling center at St.
Johns Episcopal Church in Georgetown, at the invitation of Johns best
friend. They were married there that
fall. Later she established a new counseling center at St. Albans Parish on
the Washington Cathedral grounds as
well as serving on the faculty of the
nascent Interfaith Metropolitan Theological Education Center (InterMet).
Encouraged by those YWCA friends
who had moved to Claremont in the
1980s, the Denhams joined the Pilgrim
Place community in 1990. Mrs. Denham was 76 but shunned retirement.
She promptly became interim director
of the Clinebell Institute of Pastoral
Counseling for three years.
Maxine worked all her life for institutions dependent on volunteers. Finally in retirement she could become
one herself. For 15 years she served on
and chaired the family selection committee of Pomona Valley Habitat for
Humanity. For 14 years she observed
and reported on the Claremont Community Services Commission for the
League of Women Voters. From 1996
to 2007, she was a chaplain at Pomona
Valley Hospital Medical Center. At age
94, she became a community patrol
volunteer with the Claremont Police
Department, complete with uniform
and badge.
At Pilgrim Place she established and
coordinated for 12 years the Christian
Presence service at the Health Services
Center, a volunteer visitation program
to benefit persons with dementia. She
then founded and led from 1996 to
2008 the Compassionate Harps program, a service to bring live harp music
to chronically and critically ill people at

Pilgrim Place and in the wider community.
Miriam Olson, a longtime neighbor
of the Denhams, first approached Mrs.
Denham with the suggestion for a volunteer harp ministry. She wasnt surprised when Maxine made it a success.
I knew she was someone who would
run with a good idea. She was very caring, Ms. Olson said. Later, Ms. Olson
took up the harp herself, allowing her
to keep Mrs. Denhams vision alive.
Mrs. Denham also served on Pilgrim
Places Health and Welfare Committee
and co-chaired its Residents Health and
Support Program for those whose funds
are limited in their retirement. She was
the Food Court head cashier at Pilgrim
Place Festival for many years. Above
all, she loved the sense of community
that characterizes Pilgrim Place.
Fellow Pilgrim Janet Vandevender
first met Mr. and Mrs. Denham in
Washington, DC. Years later, she and
her husband visited Pilgrim Place,
looking for a spot to retire. When she
looked across the dining room, she
spotted an old friend. There was Maxine. It was so exciting. It was a lovely
gift to find her in this place, she said.
After Janet Vandevender and husband Paul Kittlaus moved to Pilgrim
Place in 1999, they enjoyed many years
of friendship with the Denhams, including shared travel adventures and theater
and Los Angeles Philharmonic performances. Maxine always greeted her
friend Janet in a way Ms. Vandevender
feels epitomizes her friendly and engaged spirit.
She always had two questions when
she saw me, Ms. Vandevender said.
One was, How is your spirit? And if
my sweetheart wasnt with me, she
would ask, How is your man? It summarizes her in a lovely way. She was
such a good listener.
This bright, energetic and loving
woman is survived by her husband
John, who in the last year of her life
wrote a poem, Longtime Lover, to
honor her. She also leaves her four
sons, Tobit of Santa Cruz, Larry of Annapolis, Maryland, Kirtley of Clover,
South Carolina and Tad of Picton, Ontario as well as many friends from
Maine to California.

Question the tests

by Pamela Casey Nagler
chools out, and that means our

schools have completed yet another
year of standardized testing.
What this should mean, in an education town like

Claremont, is that we will be evaluating these tests before we start gearing up for the next round. However,
Im not sure that this will happen.
In the past, Claremont has not been very critical of
these tests. Like our fictional counterparts in Garrison
Keillors Lake Wobegon, our children tend to be
above average and many of us have looked at the
tests as an opportunity for our children to score high.
Its all been an academic smackdown where we get
to show the stuff were made of. That said, there are
plenty of good reasons for us to question the tests and
to weigh the expenses against the benefits.
Its not news that our California schools are cashstrapped. Here in Claremont, we run school fundraising campaigns, but even an affluent community like
Claremont cant raise enough money to fill the gaps.
If California were considered a country, wed be
one of the top 10 economies in the world and, yet,
California public schools finish dead last in the country in our student-to-teacher, student-to-counselor, student-to-librarian ratios. During the Great Recession of
2008-09, California cut 10 percent of its public education labor force30,000 from a previous 300,000
and though there are promises of an influx of new
funds, I have not heard of plans to maneuver California out of our last-place finish in our student-to-educator ratios.
Therefore, its imperative that we receive optimum
educational value for every dollar we spend. So how is
VIEWPOINT
it that we can continue to find money for tests, computers for testing, test prep materials and seminars that
serve our testing culture when our classrooms continue to be underserved?
The new version of the tests is more expensive than
ever. Weve replaced the pencil and paper tests with
computerized ones. The government mandate to provide computers to all our students has proved and will
prove to be enormously expensive.
There are certainly sound educational reasons for
installing technology in our schools, but it would seem
that the best way to meet our schools technological
needs would be by using a measured instructional perspective rather than a testing-giving one. Were letting
the tail wag the dog on this one.
This mad dash to install technology in our schools
has created a windfall for our countrys ed-tech corporations, raising legitimate concerns that our public
schools have succumbed to pressure from private
companies with a profit incentive. Los Angeles USDs
recent iPad scandal provides a cautionary tale of
money squandered on technology at the expense of
other valuable programs.
Its not enough to frame the debate about these tests
on the single issue of expense; the bigger issue is
whether the tests have educational value.
Its difficult to debate test content because few of us
know whats on these tests. The private companies
that own the tests have been allowed to operate in secrecy. Teachers who administer the tests are required
to sign confidentiality agreements that they will not

read them. Students who take the tests are told not to
discuss the questions. With taxpayer dollars, testing
corporations hire corporations to monitor children on
social media to ensure that they are not discussing test
questions.
There are few systems in place to determine that the
tests adhere to CA ED Codes that assure validity, reliability and non-bias, and it is precisely this atmosphere of powerful, enforced silence that prevents the
tests from having educative value.
Commonly, when classroom teachers administer a
test, they hand back the graded tests and allow students to debate the questions. However, the standardized tests have not set up any platforms for such
debates. Testing corporations could publish their tests
after theyve been administered, but they have never
done so. Chasing profits, the companies keep the questions secret, and taxpayers have not demanded public
scrutiny. It is ironic that the tests we use to determine
school accountability have not, themselves, been held
accountable. This lack of transparency continues to be
the single most perplexing aspect of these tests.
Weve been testing for over a decade now and the
longitudinal studies are complete. Test scores correlate
with students zip codes, parent incomes and parent
education levels. The tests were sold to us as a tool to
promote equity. However, the tests have done little to
level the playing field in our poorer schools in our segregated California neighborhoods. While the schools
in wealthier neighborhoods have had the luxury of
continuing to offer a diverse curriculum, our poorer
schools have been reduced to teaching to the test.

Public Art Committee ready to beautify Claremont
laremont City Council

appointed residents to
the Public Art Committee on June 9, following recommendations presented by
the ad hoc committee.
This was one of the most exciting
and difficult appointment processes,
said Mayor Pro Tem Sam Pedroza.
Youll recognize some names and
some names you wont, but Im hoping
were going to be seeing some really
neat things coming from the committee
that the whole community will benefit
from.
The Public Art Committee was established by the city council and will be
responsible for upholding the Public
Art Master Plan, ensuring that the citys
public art policies and procedures are
followed, and supporting the development and stewardship of Claremonts
public art collection and other public art
on municipal and private property.
A total of 10 applicants vied for six
spots on the committee, with a seventh
member who will serve as a liaison
from the Architectural Commission not
yet appointed. The six members of the
Public Art Committee are as follows:
Amy Croushore: four-year term
A 17-year resident of Claremont, Ms.
Croushore is a former marketing and
fundraising consultant with a BA in
English from UCLA and an MBA in
Marketing from Claremont Graduate
University. She was involved with the
Claremont schools Parent Faculty Association for 17 years in various capacities including PFA president at CHS
and served at insurance officer for the
Claremont Parent Faculty Association.

She was also chosen for the hiring committee for the Assistant Supervisor,
Curriculum and the WASC Accreditation Committee. Ms. Croushore was
also a member of the Claremont Coordinating Council, the Youth and Family
Master Plan Committee, and the campaign manager for Steven Llanusas reelection bid to the CUSD Board of
Education.
As a veteran marketing and fundraising professional, the committee will
benefit from her acumen when searching for grants and private funding, examining the details of the loan of a
work of art, placement strategy and
event management.
Karen Neiuber: three-year term
With an interest and passion for art,
Ms. Neiuber began using her art background to delve into colors and textures
by producing monoprints and ceramic
assemblages following her retirement
from 40 years in public education as an
elementary teacher and district curriculum administrator. She has served on
the Architectural Committee, is a member of the After Work Planning Committee for the Committee on Aging and
holds a BA in art from Cal State Fullerton as well as two masters degrees, including both teaching and
administrative credentials.
Ms. Neiuber has lived in Claremont
for nearly 12 years, and became connected to the local art community many
years ago when she facilitated the first
strategic plan for the dA Center for the
Arts in Pomona. Through those associations, she has become friends and
worked with many Claremont artists,
participated in discussions in the Public
Art Master Plan and became involved

with the Maloof sculpture show and the
Arboretum show.
Adriana Tchalian: three-year term
As an adjunct professor of art history
at Chaffey College, Fullerton College
and East Los Angeles College, Ms.
Tchalian has a genuine interest in and a
commitment to being actively engaged
in the Claremont art scene. She has
lived in Claremont for over two years
and has taught a course on California art
at East LA College featuring Claremont
artist Milford Zornes, among others.
Christopher Toovey: four-year term
Having grown up in Claremont during the 60s and 70s, Mr. Toovey has
experienced first-hand what the arts can
do to create, nurture and expand community in the City of Trees. Many of
his friends were the sons and daughters
of Claremont artists and hes been
known as an artist himself since elementary school. Mr. Tooveys artwork
has been shown at the Claremont Community Foundation Gallery, Claremont
City Hall and Bunny Gunner. Mr.
Toovey holds a BFA from Pitzer College, has participated in the citys adhoc group on public art and has been
involved with the production of a dozen
murals through public art programs in
the cities of La Verne and Pomona, and
several as lead artist.
Georgette Unis: four-year term
Ms. Unis has lived in Claremont for
39 years and has contributed both expertise and financing to public art
throughout the city. A painter and sculptor for 35 years, she holds a Masters of
Fine Art from Claremont Graduate University and serves on various public art
committees, art boards of directors and

has curated art shows. Ms. Unis currently serves on the Claremont Banner
Committee and the Claremont Community Art Committee and is the Claremont
Art Museum site coordinator for the annual Art Fiesta at Padua Hills Theatre.
As an exhibiting painter/artist, Ms. Unis
recently held shows at Square I as well
as the Claremont Community Foundation. She has also exhibited her work in

Jessica Wimbley: three-year term
Ms. Wimbley is a practicing artist
with a BFA from Rhode Island School
of Design, an MFA in Visual Arts from
UC Davis and a MA in arts management from Claremont Graduate University. Looking to augment her skills and
diverse background in the arts into advocacy for the arts at the municipal
level, Ms. Wimbley believes her professional experience as a visual artist, arts
administrator, and academic not only illustrates her passion for art but will be
an asset to the Public Art Committee.
A seven-year resident of Claremont,
Ms. Wimbley also works in the city she
calls home. She held the position of
Museum Coordinator at Pomona College Museum of Art from 2008-2012,
creating the weekly program Art After

the Arts during her tenure, creating the
program In Front of the Real Thing,
where local artists visited museum collections and made new works in response that were exhibited at the dA.

Hillsides Master Plan must include conservation

by Ann Croissant
laremont has a serious watershed

problem. Claremont has a serious
conservation problem. In fact, the
entire County of Los Angeles has serious
watershed and conservation problems.
Thats why cities in the San Gabriel Valley are looking to Claremont for leadership on these intertwined issues, made all
the more important due to the current
mega-drought.
And this is also why the Claremont Wilderness
Park and its new master plan are so important. But the
plans current iteration offers few of the much-needed
protections the park desperately needs. It privileges
recreation and does little to preserve the environment
itselfits watershed and ecological functions that are
so critical to sustaining the human and natural communities.
In recent discussions with members of different
Claremont groups and agencies, I found that differences of opinion and boundary-drawing are creating
more confusion than purposeful solutions. Which is
odd, given that two decades ago, the state and region
were obsessed with finding preventive solutions to
water resource crises. Where did we detour from watershed planning to prepare proactively for the overwhelming crises experienced today? Very little of the
VIEWPOINT
state bond money in the early 2000s, for example,

was allocated for watershed protection, conservation
health and habitat restoration. Instead, the vast majority of the funds were spent on recreational purposes
without essential securing, restoring and planning for
watershed and conservation futures in the looming
shadow of water shortages.
One exception to this tale of woe is the important
study that the San Gabriel Mountains Conservancy
produced in 2000, Reconnecting the San Gabriel
Valley: A Planning Approach for the Creation of Interconnected Urban Wildlife Corridor Networks. It
laid out a step-by-step process for safeguarding watersheds through conservation measures and habitat
restoration. Its innovative and integrated approach has
received county, state and national recognition, and is
a model for how Claremont should proceed with its
Wilderness Park master plan.
To promote active watershed management and
habitat restoration in its foothills, the city of Claremont should delay implementation of the Master Plan
for the Claremont Hillsides Wilderness Park until the
following steps are completed:
1. Prepare a local to regional macro-connected
scale and plan for watershed health, quality and sustainability, focusing on native waters first, restorative
waters second and the creation of a water-trust

third. We must not lose our local lands and the waters
that they provide
2. Educate the public to analyze and steward their
properties on a micro-connected scale and through
a neighborhood-by-neighborhood plan
3. Because all watershed connections are (or should
be) systemic, other cities in the region must be invited
to participate in developing reciprocal solutions for a
regional watershed and conservation plan. What happens in Claremont should not stay there.
What Claremont set aside in its foothills is now in
peril because current planning does not adequately
address these landscapes conservation and watershed
essentials. Sound studies with scientific reasoning and
systems thinking are essential to secure these wonderful, natural treasures well into the future.
The San Gabriel Mountains Regional Conservancy
stands ready to help Claremont bring this jewel of a
Wilderness Park back to health and dynamic equilibrium. The first step requires the delay of the master
plan for the Claremont Hillsides Wilderness Park
until it fully incorporates a watershed and conservation plan.

SWIMMING POOLS/continued from page 3
schools landscape.
The pool didnt have a pump and we couldnt circulate the water, so it had to be drained, said Lisa
Shoemaker, CUSD Assistant Superintendent of Business Services, when asked what had become of the
water. It was pumped into trucks and broadcast on the
lawns. We didnt have to worry about the chemicals
because it had been sitting for so long, she added. It
was just water at that point.
Costanza-Vanyo
Christine Michelle Costanza, daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. Thomas V. Costanza of San Jose, and
Dr. Lori Lee Vanyo, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Michael J. Vanyo of Bonsall, California, were
married on May 2, 2015.
The ceremony was held at Natural Bridges
State Beach in Santa Cruz, with Pastor Dave Grishaw-Jones of Peace UCC Santa Cruz officiating. Christine is a graduate of UC San Diego and
holds a bachelors degree in literatures in English. She is employed by Scripps College. Lori is
a general surgeon practicing in Claremont, specializing in breast and endocrine surgery. She is a
graduate of Biola University and Loma Linda
University School of Medicine, and a Fellow of
the American College of Surgeons.
The couple enjoyed a European vacation, with
weeklong stops in Paris, Prague and Palermo.
They will reside in Claremont.
here are thousands of pools

throughout Claremont, with city
staff issuing 575 pool permits
since 2000 alone. All of those pools lose
water naturally due to evaporation. The
rate of evaporation varies depending on
the average relative humidity of the local
climate, the daily temperature range, wind
conditions, the use of a pool heater and
even the amount of activity in the pool.
A residential pool without a pool cover can lose

about one-quarter of an inch of water level per day or
about two inches per week solely due to evaporation.
This can amount to between 10,000 and 20,000 gallons of water loss per year, depending on the size of
the pool and the factors that increase or decrease evaporation.
Mr. Madanski and Chad Bowser, proprietors of The
Foothills Pool & Spa, have nearly 20 years of experience in the pool industry between them and offer some
suggestions to owners hoping to reduce the amount of
water loss each year.
Using a cover will reduce water evaporation in
your pool by up to 90 percent, Mr. Bowser explains.
The cover can be cumbersome so for ease of use, you
may want to add a reel system to your solar blanket.
The reel system allows you to use the cover as it was
meant to be used and increase the life of your cover.
Its not for everyone but for seniors or people with
back issues, its the way to go.
Solar blankets and reel systems are available in store
and can be customized to fit the needs of the homeowner. Prices range from $250 and up.
Also available at the shop is a solar shield additive
called SeaKlear that claims to reduce evaporation up to
37 percent in the first week of use. For less than $25,
this unique, patented formulation provides evaporation
protection by creating an ultra-thin invisible barrier
that helps to conserve water and prevent heat loss. The
additive can be dosed monthly, or weekly in high
COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff

Chad Bowser of Foothills Pool and Spa discusses
the advantages of a pool cover with a customer recently at the Claremont business. Homeowners with
pools have been coming into the store recently to
inquire about ways to save water with upgrades like
the covers.
evaporation conditions, and is a good alternative for

large or irregularly shaped pools.
For former pool owner Larry Schroeder, its not just
about conserving water. The council member removed
his pool last year and opted instead for drought-tolerant landscaping, and couldnt be happier with the results.
Pools may not take as much water as landscaping,
but they also use a lot of electricity and chemicals to
maintain. I caution people to take a more holistic view
and consider the alternatives.

No. 20072238202, of official records in the Office of the Recorder of Los Angeles County, California, executed by SATINDERJIT SINGH
CHADHA, A MARRIED MAN AS HIS SOLE
AND SEPARATE PROPERTY, as Trustor(s), in
favor of WASHINGTON MUTUAL BANK, FA
as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful
money of the United States, all payable at the time
of sale, that certain property situated in said
County, California describing the land therein as:
AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID
DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold as is. The street address
and other common designation, if any, of the real
property described above is purported to be: 840
MEADOW PASS ROAD, WALNUT, CA 91789
The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability
for any incorrectness of the street address and
other common designation, if any, shown herein.
Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining
principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed
of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said
Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the
Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by
said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid
balance of the obligations secured by the property
to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustees Sale is
estimated to be $2,000,994.10 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and
advances will increase this figure prior to sale.
Beneficiarys bid at said sale may include all or
part of said amount. In addition to cash, the
Trustee will accept a cashiers check drawn on a
state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or
federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or
federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section
5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such
funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the
event tender other than cash is accepted, the
Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustees
Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to
the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The
property offered for sale excludes all funds held
on account by the property receiver, if applicable.
If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidders sole and exclusive
remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the
Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no
further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you
are considering bidding on this property lien, you
should understand that there are risks involved in
bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding
on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the
highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of
the property. You should also be aware that the lien
being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are
the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be
responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien
being auctioned off, before you can receive clear
title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding
liens that may exist on this property by contacting
the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this
information. If you consult either of these resources,
you should be aware that the same Lender may hold
more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the
property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date
shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one
or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary,
Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the
California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made
available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to
those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn
whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if
applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale
of this property, you may call In Source Logic at

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!
