one hundred and seventh year, number 33
Dear Editor:
Back in June, the Claremont
COURIER reported that Claremont High
School Jazz Band director, Mr. Rick
Melanson, was removed from his position pending a criminal court proceeding
on child annoyance charges.
I was therefore quite surprised when no
follow-up article was printed to inform
the community that on July 15, 2015 the
case against Mr. Melanson was dismissed.
Also, on August 6, 2015 the Claremont
Unified School District (CUSD) Board of
Education unanimously voted in support
of reinstating Mr. Melanson to his position, and that the State of California has
fully reinstated his teaching credentials.
In our country, individuals are innocent
until proven guilty. When Mr. Melanson
was accused of impropriety, the
COURIER made sure readers were made
aware of it. But when Mr. Melanson was
cleared of all charges, no mention was
made of this important development. I am
writing to encourage students, teachers
and parents to join with our school board
in fully supporting Rick Melansons welldeserved return to the classroom.
My son, Douglas, studied with Mr.
Melanson for nearly half of his 12 years
as a CUSD student. He considers Mr.
Melanson to be the single most positive
influence on his academic and musical
career. He credits Mr. Melanson with instilling in him a passion for jazz music
and the discipline needed to succeed
not only in music, but in life.
As a direct result of Mr. Melansons influence, my son formed his own jazz
band combo with other CHS jazz students (Going Down Swingin) and performed with friends at paid engagements
ADVENTURES
throughout Los Angeles and Orange

County during his senior year at CHS.
Sadly, Mr. Melanson never had the opportunity to see his senior students perform, as he was tied up with legal
proceedings to prove his innocence.
The lessons my son learned from Mr.
Melanson, and the disciplined approach
to the study of music that Mr. Melanson
brought to the classroom enabled Douglas to have the tools and the confidence
to audition and successfully secure a spot
in a NCAA Division I music program at
Texas A & M University this fall.
I have also worked closely with Mr.
Melanson during the past six years, during four of which I served as Instrumental
Music Booster president. I want parents
and students to know that Mr. Melanson
brings an extraordinary passion and
music background that is rare to find in a
high school level program. He is professional, talented, engaging and cares
deeply about his students as individuals
and collectively as an ensemble. He
works diligently to build their sense of
self as young adults both in and out of the
classroom and performance venues.
Claremont is fortunate to have a jazz director with his qualifications and character.
Sadly, despite the fact that the judicial
system ran its full and complete course,
and all charges against Mr. Melanson
were dismissed, there are still some in our
community who refuse to accept this
judgment. I encourage Claremont students, teachers and parents to pay them
no heed. Our students, our schools and
our music program have been, and will
continue to be, well-served by Mr. Rick
Melanson.

Brown lawns evidence of citys conservation efforts
ou cant drive down a Claremont

street these days without passing a
lawn or two that has succumbed to
the effects of the drought.
While many residents may long for the days of lush
green grass beneath their toes, others consider their
brown patch a badge of honor as they comply with the
state-imposed mandate of conserving water.
Regardless of your view, Claremont residents can
take comfort in knowing that for the second consecutive month, Golden State Water Company has exceeded
water conservation reductions mandated by Governor
Jerry Brown, with Claremont users decreasing water
consumption by a whopping 42 percent in June.
The governor issued the executive order this past
April, mandating a 25 percent cut statewide in urban
water use by 2016. Individual water districts, depending
on their level of water use, were ordered to reduce water
consumption between 4 and 36 percent with those districts with a history of heavy water use cutting more.
Claremont was hit with a 32 percent reduction from
water use in 2013 and has done well in meeting its
monthly conservation goal.
Were glad to see the residents complying with the
mandate, Assistant City Manager Colin Tudor said.
Its important that everyone remain mindful of their
water usage. The earlier summer months tend to be
more mild, and were hopeful that residents will continue to conserve as the temperatures heat up in the
months ahead.
In May 2015, Claremont water consumption decreased by 40 percent compared to May 2013 and with
a 42 percent decrease for June 2015 compared to June
2013, it appears residents are getting serious about their
conservation efforts.
Perhaps its because Claremont residents know that if
they dont maintain at least a 32 percent reduction from
the 2013 numbers, they face the possibility of water rations and surcharges for each household from Golden
State Water Company. In June, the limit on lawn watering was two days per week and the district issued only
one warning and assessed no penalties. Thats an impressive track record.
Providing water to a population of 37,160, the Golden
State Water Company Claremont is part of the South
Coast hydrologic region that includes the cities of Ventura, Los Angeles, Santa Ana, Riverside, San
Bernardino and San Diego, among others.
In June 2015, Golden State Water Company Claremont distributed239 milliongallons of water, a sharp
decrease from the 415 million gallons provided in June
2013. Residential use made up64 percentof total water

Although the city gets high marks for water conservation efforts, evidence of the drought can be seen all over
Claremont. Its easy to see brown grass covering soccer fields, baseball fields and playgrounds, including in
this photo from Padua Park.
consumed in the city, with each resident using on average137gallons of water a daya number well above
the 97.7-gallon state average.
By comparison, residents in the city of La Verne used
an average of 160 gallons of water each day in June
2015, while Pomona residents used an average of 86
gallons per day.
As a whole, urban water districts used 27 percent less
water statewide in June 2015 than in 2013.
The next monthly update, with July water-use figures,
is due in late August.
Mandatory statewide water restrictions took effect in
May, limiting water to turf in city medians and parks to
two days per week. While many other cities have access to reclaimed or recycled water that theyre using
on their parks and medians, Claremont does not. Therefore, the city staff is working onalternative plans to deal
with the drought and the current restrictions.
The city is already moving forward with plans to relandscape Shelton Park, the Indian Hill Boulevard medians and Claremont City Hall to reduce turf. The
medians on Foothill Boulevard and First Street will have
the turf removed and replaced with mulch.
As previously reported in the COURIER, many of
the turf areas within city parks have become brown with
the reduction of watering to only two days per week,
sparking concern from residents who utilize the local

sports fields. While passive park turf areas will remain
on a two-day-per-week watering schedule, Golden State
Water Company recently granted the city one extra day
per week of watering to be applied to all athletic fields.
Its not for the entire park, just the sports fields, Mr.
Tudor explained.
Just how the citys additional water day will affect
Julys water-use figures is anybodys guess.
It may have a slight increase in the citys water use
but we are also decreasing our watering at the more passive parks, said Mr. Tudor. Were trying hard to find
a balance.
The city is using water bags for city trees in the Village and encourages residents to deep-water their own
trees as well as city trees in the right of way, at least once
a week at the drip line, to ensure tree health during the
drought.Deep watering is done less often, but in a way
the soaks the roots of the tree slowly and with less
wasted water.
To report water wasting or water leaks, call Golden
State Water Company at (800) 999-4033. A representative is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

conditions and regulations passed down

from Governor Jerry Brown.
Per the governors executive order, the
city is no longer able to water turf medians as of May 11, 2015. In response to
the mandatory irrigation restrictions, city
staff proposed spending $40,000 to remove the turf on the Indian Hill Boulevard median, put down mulch and
retrofit the irrigation to ensure sufficient
water is being provided to trees in the island. City council rejected that idea on
June 9, 2015 with Councilmember Opanyi Nasiali calling it a stop-gap measure and instead agreed to move forward
with the previously-designed Indian Hill
Boulevard Median Turf Reduction Project, noting that the plans for the project
had already been completed.

It was a birthday to remember for
one Pomona gal who went to get her
free Grand Slam at Dennys and ended
up in the Claremont slammer. Marlo
Aguilar celebrated her big day with a
meal at Dennys and then walked out of
the restaurant without paying her
$20.09 tab. At approximately 1:09
p.m., police were called to the scene
and found Ms. Aguilar nearby where
she admitted to her crime of defrauding
the restaurant. The 44-year-old Leo told
police she thought she was receiving a
free meal on her birthday and was confused when the waitress handed her the
bill. Dennys staff confirmed she did receive a free meal, but ordered an additional $20 in food. Although Dennys
declined to prosecute the birthday girl,
she wasnt out of the woods just yet. A
records check by CPD revealed Ms.
Aguilar had an outstanding warrant and
she was placed under arrest.

Tour offers a compelling visit with David Foster Wallace
he End of the Tour opens today at

the local Laemmles, offering literary buffs the chance to squeeze
into the diner booth with David Lipsky
and David Foster Wallace as they talk
about everything from depression to sex
to Alanis Morissette.
The movie hones in on five days in 1996 when Lipsky interviewed Wallacethen on a book tour promoting his epic novel Infinite Jestfor a Rolling
Stone article.
Wallace is considered by many to be among the
worlds greatest writers, if one of its more challenging
ones.
A New York Times obit described him as a maximalist, exhibiting in his work a huge, even manic curiosityabout the physical world, about the much
larger universe of human feelings and about the complexity of living in America at the end of the 20th
century.
If youre unfamiliar with the writer, you should
know he has a couple of Claremont connections, one
boast-worthy and another merely sad. Wallace was a
professor at Pomona College for a time. And in 2009,
he hanged himself at his Claremont home at the age
of 46.
David Foster Wallace lives again in The End of
the Tour, with actor Jason Segel donning his trademark bandanna and channeling his unblinking insights and acrobatic wit. Jesse Eisenberg plays
Lipsky.
Mr. Lipsky was 30 at the time of the interview, and
more than slightly awed by Wallaces talent and success. While he was press-wary, Wallace, then 34, welcomed Lipsky as a friend and roommate, at one point
insisting to the younger writer that, Mi Pop Tart es
su Pop Tart.
The close-quarters communion was a life-changing
experience.
I had loved going on that trip, getting the chance
to talk to someone who was my favorite writer, Mr.
Lipsky told the COURIER. I had been reading
David and now I had this great chance to be sitting in
his house, seeing where he wrote and finding out
what he loved to read and what movies he loved.
The Rolling Stone piece was cancelled but after
Wallaces death, Mr. Lipsky took out the tape
recorder and returned to those hours of conversation.
The result is his 2010 memoir, Although Of Course
You End Up Becoming Yourself: A Road Trip
With David Foster Wallace.
A few people, out of churlishness or posthumous
concern for Wallaces cherished privacy, insist the
book and subsequent movie are cynically trading in
on Wallaces fame.
However, as Lipsky reminds Wallace in The End
of the Tour, he agreed to the interview. And most
readers view his account as a heartfelt and valuable
glimpse into the mind of a genius. On its release, the
Atlantic Monthly called the book far-reaching, insightful, very funny, profound, surprising, and awfully human.
Lipsky had his own qualms about discussing his
time with Wallace. The producer of NPRs All
Things Considered, though, convinced him to join a
broadcast about David Foster Wallace that aired
shortly after his death.
What the producer explained to me is that theres
a real risk when someone dies [by their own hand]
that people will read their work looking for clues or
reasons why they committed suicidethat theyll
read the work with gray glasses on, Mr. Lipsky said.
I know hes an incredible person to read, completely
awake and electric.
Like the book, The End of the Tour follows two
Jason Segel, left, plays former Claremont resident, Pomona College professor and author,
the late David Foster Wallace, in the film The
End of the Tour. The movie chronicles the five
days the two Davids spent together in 1996
when Mr. Lipsky was interviewing Mr. Wallace
for Rolling Stone. Actor Jesse Eisenberg, at
right in photo above, plays David Lipsky.

I had loved going on that trip, getting the chance to talk to someone
who was my favorite writer, Mr.
Lipsky told the COURIER. I had
been reading David and now I had
this great chance to be sitting in his
house, seeing where he wrote and
finding out what he loved to read
and what movies he loved.
men hanging out and talking, whether their exchanges

take place in a rental car, while loading up on junk
food at a convenience store, in a darkened theater
showing the explosion-heavy Broken Arrow or in
the food court of an overblown shopping mall. Despite lacking a blockbuster plot trajectory, the film beguiles as an account of what Mr. Lipsky calls a really
smart person who has ruminated overthings and
then found a way to say it out loud.
When director James Ponsoldt was casting the film,
Mr. Lipsky had a huge emotional stake in who was
selected to play Wallace. The decision to cast Jason
Segel worried some purists because the actor is best
known for comedic roles, with familiar endeavors including a longstanding part on the sit-com How I
Met Your Mother and a job acting alongside the

Muppets.
Mr. Lipsky, however, sensed it was a good choice.
He felt it was important that he and Wallace be played
by writers. He points out that Segel writes his own
movies and has even tackled a novel for kids, while
Jesse Eisenberg has two plays under his belt.
It wasnt until the film was in the can, however,
that Mr. Lipsky realized how inspired the choice was.
I was doing an interview with Jason on NPR and
they were playing the audio from when David and I
were driving around, he said. They began playing a
clip from the movie and my first thought was, thats
when Dave and I were at Dennys. Jason got his voice
and he also got the tremendous intelligence behind his
voice.
Above everything, Lipsky is a fan of Wallace. A
professor at Cornell, he teaches Infinite Jest, helping
students get over the daunting fact that the book is
more than 1,000 dense pages and discover that its
an extraordinary novel.
Critics are hailing The End of the Tour as extraordinary as well. Mr. Lipsky is happy with the film, too.
What I love about the movie is one of the things I
wanted to get in the book. Its full of life, he said.
Wallace was fully awake, Mr. Lipsky reiterated,
and when you are awake, it makes you charming and
alive and electric to be with.
And for a wordsmith, theres nothing like the
chance to spend time with a literary hero.
If you really love a writer, you wish you could call
them on the phone and ask them about everything in
the world. And all of a sudden, there I was.
Showings for The End of the Tour, which opens
today at the Laemmles Claremont 5, are at 1:40,
4:30, 7:30 and 10:15 p.m. For information, call (909)

Happy birthday, daughter

by Debbie Carini
hen she was born, 24 years ago

today, I wasnt surprised. It
seemed inevitable that I would
have a daughter and not a son. I am the
oldest of four sisters; I was raised with
girls and didnt think I would even begin
to know how to nurture a boy (though I
did get the opportunity, two years later).
From the beginning, she was headstrong in a way I
couldnt comprehendwith 12 hours of labor followed
by a caesarean section she was definitely on her own
schedule! In addition to having a stay-at-home mom,
pretty much at my disposal, I was raised on family fare
featuring Mrs. Cleaver, Mrs. Partridge, Mrs. Cunningham and Mrs. Walton, all moms who seemed to work
mostly in the kitchen (except Mrs. Partridge, who sang
in her family band and drove the bus).
But I was also born into a world where women were
just beginning to assert their rights. (Title VII of the
Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination in employment on the basis of race or sex, was passed in
1964 and in 1972, Title IX of the Education Amend-
ments banned sex discrimination in schoolsjust in

time for me to get a new uniform as a member of the
Upland High School badminton team!) That Girl
Marlo Thomas and Mary Richards from The Mary
Tyler Moore Show had pretty interesting lives in my
estimation (with sophisticated jobs and great clothes,
apartments and boyfriends).
Id always thought of myself as progressive, in terms
of being a woman. I graduated from college, became a
junior executive and kept my last name. So I dont
know why it came as a shock that as soon as my
daughter had the coordination, she would pull the elaborate hair-bows my mother-in-law (matriarch of three
sons) purchased for her right out of her hair. She preferred overalls to dresses, spoke her mind (pretty much
from the age of nine months, when she first babbled A,
B, C, D from her perch in the car seat), and would politely, yet firmly, deny smooches to her Grandpa Carl

PGK (preachers grandkid).
My grandfather, Rev. T.D. Williams,
was a Methodist minister in Wisconsin.
Among his books were Volumes I and II
of The Worlds Parliament of Religions, published in 1893. The Parliament is the oldest, largest and most
inclusive gathering of people of faith and
religious traditions (see www.parliamentofreligions.org).
Chicago, Cape Town, Barcelona and
Melbourne have since hosted gatherings
in the 122 years since the first gathering.

(No, thank you, she would reply when he would

query, Can I get a kiss?)
Over time, she conflated her independence and intelligence with a love of very high heels and her advanced
math skills with a need to have an extremely sticky
drawer filled with cosmetics. My own mothers sage
advice to keep my hair brushed, my clothes ironed and
to learn how to type seemed lost on her, as did my frequent admonishments about the sad state of her bedroom; How can you live like this? I would shriek
when trying to find our cat or an important piece of
homework under the piles of clothes and other detritus
of a teenage girls life.
Ive read that by the time a woman realizes her
mother was right, she has a daughter who thinks shes
wrong. It took a long time for me to understand and appreciate the sacrifices my mother made for me (starting
with the fact that she was asked to leave her job when
she became pregnant with methanks to the US Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission, founded in
1965, thats not a problem today). Im not sure if my
daughter will ever make her bed, but I think shell
make her wayon her terms, in her time. So happy
birthday, daughter...and make sure to give Grandpa a
kiss next time you see him.

I have been a Unitarian Universalist
for 22 years and a Unitarian Universalist
minister for 10 years. I felt happy to
know that there was a strong Unitarian
connection with the first Parliament 122
years ago. Rev. Jenkin Lloyd-Jones was
a Unitarian minister based in Chicago,
and he worked long and hard to organize
the 1893 Parliament. Among other responsibilities, he and a colleague had
charge of one of the meeting halls.
The closing speakers in that hall included people from the United States,
India (including Swami Vivekananda),
Russia, Japan, China, England, Ceylon,
Africa and Spain. Alluding to the views

of some people who were skeptical
about the respect shown to non-Christians, Rev. Lloyd-Jones said, I had
rather be a doorkeeper in the open house
of the Lord than to dwell in the tents of
bigotry. I am sufficiently happy in the
knowledge that I have been enabled to
be to a certain extent the feet of this great
triumph. I bid to you the parting guests
the godspeed that comes out of a soul
that is glad to recognize its kinship with
all lands and with all religions.
My soul, too, is glad to recognize its
kinship with all lands and with all religions. Interfaith collaboration is vital to
help create and sustain a world where
dignity, love and peace can flourish.

Pomona master plan rebuttal
Dear Editor:
In a July 10 letter to the editor from
Pomona Colleges Richard Fassa response to the viewpoint previously submitted by me and John NeiuberMr.
Fass stated that the viewpoint contains a
number of misstatements about the colleges previous master plans.
He mainly objects to our statement, A
2008 Pomona College master plan concept shows institutional buildings where
the Victorians are currently located [on
Harvard]. The date was incorrect. We
apologize. The date of the Master Plan
concept was 2003, but it makes little difference. We did not say that it was an
adopted master plan but that it was a concept, which Mr. Fass acknowledges.
Whether or not it was part of the 2008 update approved by the city is again a moot
point. Regardless of it being approved or
being official or whatever spin one puts to
it, the concepts portrayed in this drawing
appear to be coming true.
The rendering from 12 years ago shows
a new building footprint that is identical
to what is currently being presented for
the new Thatcher Music Building that will
replace the Montgomery Art Center and
the existing Thatcher building. Both are
planned to be demolished.
It shows a new building at the same location and with a similar footprint to what
is currently being proposed for the new art
museum on the west side of College Avenue between Second Street and Bonita.
READERS COMMENTS
It also shows two new institutional
buildings where there are currently four
historic Victorian houses on Harvard, and
a new institutional building where there is
currently parking where Harrison Avenue
was closed off. This is interesting from the
standpoint that Pomona Colleges current
proposed master plan has been under development for over a decade and they
have slowly been undertaking the projects
shown in these early concepts, whether
part of an approved master plan or not.
There appears to be an underground, less
transparent, master plan at work here.
The other misstatement Mr. Fass objected to concerns the Claremont General
Plan map (Figure 2-3 Land Use Plan) that
shows the proposed site of the new museum listed as institutional. However,
this map describes the types of uses as
existing and planned. The site in question is currently zoned residential, and
Pomona College currently uses the residential-scale houses located there for institutional uses through an agreement with
the city. Locating an institutional building
here with the mass and scale as presented
by Pomona would destroy the historic residential feeling and be in direct opposition
to the community values that are outlined
in Claremonts General Plan.
In addition, the parking, which is already impacted in the Village, will be-
come much worse, but the college has not

addressed this potential impact.
I also want to acknowledge something.
Claremont Heritage is not opposed to a
new museumin fact, we welcome it!
We are only concerned with the proposed
location. Pomona College was part of
Claremonts history from the very beginning and has been a major influence on
what our town is today.
Claremonts history of preserving our
cultural, natural and architectural heritage
is what sets us apart from other communities. Pomona acknowledges these values by desiring to return its campus design
to the ideals that were originally planned
by noted architect Myron Hunt. This is
where there seems to be a disconnect of
sorts. By proposing a large-scale institutional building on the block between Second Street and Bonita on the west side of
College Avenue and moving the iconic
Renwick House from its historical location, Pomona will in effect destroy the historic residential feeling that is part of its
own legacy.
Please, Pomona College, do the right
thing for the Colleges, the community and
our heritage. Relocate the museum elsewhere.

Our dried-up public spaces
Dear Editor:
About a year ago, my husband and I
sold our four-bedroom home in north
Claremont and purchased a townhouse in
the Village. We wanted to raise our two
small children in a pedestrian-friendly
neighborhood with lots of active, communal space nearby. We feel strongly
about the value of shared space due to its
community-building properties as well as
its overall efficiency. For the first couple
of months, we enjoyed walking to the
parks and hanging out around the Public

Plaza fountains to cool off. With the new
water restrictions, nearly all of these
places have become deserted and unwecoming.
The fountains were turned off and even
the grassy areas surrounding local playgrounds disappeared. I still walk through
the Village in the mornings and pass all of
the lush, green swaths of lawn, but I no
longer hang out in the parks or the Plaza
because its just not enjoyable for my kids
anymore. I guess I was expecting a city
that values its community space so much
as to rally behind preserving these spaces
while sacrificing our personal ones.
Clearly, I was wrong.
Nowadays, I pack up my two kids and
drive to neighboring cities to cool off and
relax. I never expected to have to leave
Claremont to seek out those places. Please
dont get me wrong, I am all about water
conservation and have been for years.
The house we sold was completely
landscaped with drought-tolerant plants
well before it was trendy. Brown is the
new green is a motto I have touted on
countless occasions. However, I believe it
is important to preserve places that are
highly used and valued by the community.
One such place is the fountains in the Public Plaza. Like most other fountains, they
recycle water. By shutting them off completely, did we really save that much
water? Or were we doing so just to make
a point? Instead of walking two blocks so
my kids can cool off in a space used by
tons of kids, I am driving 10 miles so that
my kids can cool off at a splash pad elsewhere or filling up a baby pool at my
house that will have to be dumped out
after being used by just two kids.
Here is an idea: Can we get some local
businesses that seem reluctant to let go of
their lawns to sponsor lost spaces by removing their ornamental grass? The city
can then utilize the water for community
space. That would be something I would
expect from the Claremont I love.

Romelia Rosie Miranda
OBITUARIES
Mother, friend, longtime Walters employee

Romelia Rosaria Miranda, a 30-year
employee of Walters Restaurant in
Claremont, died Monday, August 3,
2015. She was 55.
Born on August 8, 1959 in Los Angeles, Rosie was the oldest of six in a
large family, who all lived together in
Echo Park, California until around
1980. She married Juan Miranda in
1981 and, in 1983, joined the Walters
staff. The Mirandas have three children,
Emily, Johnnie and Randy. Many of
Rosies siblings, children, nephews and
nieces have worked at Walters and
contributed as members of the large
Walters family in Claremont.
Nangy and Fahima Ghafarshad,

owners of Walters, considered Rosie
their right-hand employee alongside
her husband, Chef Juan Miranda, who
has also been an employee at Walters
since 1978.
The Ghafarshad family writes,
Rosie, our beloved friend and employee of over 30 years, will be missed
immensely. Those of you who have had
the pleasure of seeing her smiling face
and being warmly greeted with her
words of endearment know what a
pleasure she was. Her dedication to her
job and work ethic is rarely matched.
Her style of perfection, attention to de-
tail and reluctance to leave any job incomplete are qualities from which we
have all benefited and learned a great
deal. We all knew her as Rosie. She
was part of the Walters family and, especially, a member of the Ghafarshad
family.
Funeral services will be held on Friday, August 14 at 10 a.m. at Sacred
Heart Church, 1215 S. Hamilton Blvd.
in Pomona. Burial will follow at Holy
Cross Cemetery, 444 E. Lexington Ave.
in Pomona.
A celebration of Rosies life will be
held Monday, August 17 from 5 to 7
p.m. at Walters Restaurant.
Ruvimbo Heather Zvobgo

Beloved daughter and sister, snack aficionado
Claremont resident Ruvimbo
Heather Zvobgo died of cardiac arrest
on July 31, 2015. She was 21.
Ms. Zvobgo, affectionally known as
Ru, was born on February 1, 1994 at
Avenues Clinic in Harare, Zimbabwe to
Chegetai Zvobgo and Kebokile DenguZvobgo.
When she was 8, the family moved
to Claremont. Ru attended schools with
strong special needs programs in neighboring cities and thrived in after-school
activities at AbilityFirst in Claremont.
At AbilityFirst, where she was a regular
from 2005 to the present, she enjoyed
swimming, field trips and working on
puzzles. Most recently, Ru attended a
post-high school transition program in
Glendora, where she participated in
sheltered work training at Edible
Arrangements and other businesses.
Ru made friends wherever she went.
Though she was non-verbal, AbilityFirst Director Julie Martin said she was
extremely expressive. You could tell if
she was happy or sad or thinking of
things, she said. When she was
happy, she would clap her hands and
give a certain smile that said, Everything is good. The world is a good
place.
That smile, she noted, was of the
100-watt variety. It lit up the room,
Ms. Martin said. I used to say, Ru,
you could be a supermodel. She was
one in a million, and well miss her so
much.
She will also be missed among the
congregation of the Salvation Army in
Pasadena. Ru and her sister Kelebogile,
called Kelly, are fourth-generation Salvationists. Their mother, Kebokile, is a
member of the Salvation Army
Pasadena Tabernacle Choir and regularly took Ru to rehearsals. She didnt
pull any punches when it came to her
assessment of the singers performance.
If she liked the music, she would clap.
If she didnt, shed be like, whatever,

Kebokile said, mimicking her daughters unimpressed face.
Ru also made many friends at Pitzer
College, where her mom is associate
dean of International Programs. Some
people dont know how to talk to people with developmental disabilities, Kebokile said. Its like theyre just
invisible.
That was never the case at Pitzer.
Thats the beauty of my colleagues,
Kebokile said. They included her in
everything. One such colleague is
Michael Ballagh, who serves as associate vice president for International Programs at Pitzer College.
Ru was an extraordinarily gracious
young woman.She was truly a global
citizen, not simply in her extensive
world travels with her family, but also
as a regular and welcome attendee at
most public events for international students on campus, Dr. Ballagh
said.From time to time, Ru would accompany her mum to work and would
sit happily (and quietly) in her office,
invariably with a broad grin on her
face.A gentle and beautiful soul, her
happy presence will be sorely missed at
Pitzer.
Just in case Ru sounds like a saint,
her friends and family are quick to note
that she could also be a rascal. Kelly
jokes that it just wasnt fair. Ru was always mischievous and never got in
trouble, she said. I was never mischievous and always got in trouble.
Ms. Martin recalls the time a staff
member returned to the AbilityFirst office with a large, frosty Coke. Ru
snatched it and went into the bathroom
so fast and drank it in the stall, then
threw it in the trash like, Im done.
She was a sweet girl, but very sneaky.
Ru loved food and was known for
helping herself to snacks, which she
often stored in her purse. A lady never
leaves home without her purse, Kebokile laughed.

Kelly recalls Ru sleeping with her
purse when they shared a hotel room,
as if she didnt trust her sister not to
steal the kettle corn shed stored inside.
If we ever had a natural disaster, Ru
would be fine with all of the supplies in
her purse, Kelly said.
Along with making mischief, Ru
forged some wonderful memories with
the help of family and friends. Her 21st
birthday, celebrated with dinner at Tutti
Mangia and a cake from Some Crust,
was an unmitigated success. And immediately prior to her death, she took a
five-week trip to London with her mom
and sister, where they traveled to celebrate the 150-year anniversary of the
Salvation Army. Ru particularly enjoyed staying in hotel rooms and traveling on a motor coach, as well as feeling
the breeze atop those iconic double-
decker buses. Of course, she loved the

restaurant meals.
A memorial service held on August 7
at the Salvation Army Pasadena Tabernacle Corpswith Salvation Army officers/pastors Majors Darren and Mary
Norton officiatingdrew 179 people,
including friends from AbilityFirst, the
Claremont Colleges, LA County Transition Program (Glendora site), the San
Gabriel/Pomona Regional Center and
the church congregation. Ru loved
bright colors, particularly green and
blue, so they had sunflowers at the funeral instead of something more
somber like white lilies. She was privately buried at Oak Park Cemetery.
At the memorial, Rus cousin Douglas Mupasiri gave a moving tribute,
which Kebokile paraphrased. He said
she had an incredible effect on everyone who knew her. She let us all know
what was importantfood, love, shelter and comfortand let us know we
shouldnt sweat the small stuff.
She also taught us to be patient and
kind, Kelly added.
In this time of loss, Rus family is
taking comfort from their large support
system. So many friends have brought
food over to the house that Kebokile
hasnt had to cook. They are also
helped by their faith.
As they say in the Salvation Army,
Ru is not dead. Shes been promoted to
Glory, Kebokile said. Her body is
planted in Claremont but her spirit is
with the Lord.
Ru is survived by her her mother,
Kebokile Dengu-Zvobgo, her father,
Chengetai Zvobgo, and her sister, Kelebogile Zvobgo. She also leaves behind
devoted family and friends.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be
made to The Salvation Army or AbilityFirst, 480 S. Indian Hill Blvd., Claremont, CA 91711.

Keith Casey Davis

World traveler, pilot, pinball wizard
Keith Charles Casey Davis, a Claremont resident,
was killed on July 26, 2015 when his small aircraft
crashed in Riverside. He was 52 years old.
He was born on July 30, 1962 and grew up in La
Verne, graduating from Bonita High School in 1981.
He earned a bachelors degree from UC Berkeley and
an MBA from the London School of Economics.
Mr. Davis lived and worked in Tokyo and met his
wife Kumiko Shiga in Japan. He was fluent in Japanese and at the time of his death worked as a freelance
translator of technical and financial manuals and reports for Morgan Stanley and others.
He had lived in Claremont for the past 10 years and
had a passion for pinball machines, beginning at age
12, owning many vintage and late-model machines
that he played, shared, repaired, bought, sold and enjoyed throughout his life. Another hobby was brewing
batches of homemade beer, which Casey would serve
at blowouts hosted in his man cave, a storage unit he
had converted into a party space.

Mr. Davis traveled extensively and lived, worked,
visited and trekked through more than 80 countries.
Along with living in Claremont, he and his wife and
daughter lived in Japan and Hawaii. He was a pilot
and motorcyclist and enjoyed high-adrenaline activities. Casey was meticulous, safety-minded and a perfectionist who, in all of his many years of school,
maintained a perfect record of only As. He was funny,
adventurous, brave, intelligent and cared deeply for
the people closest to him.
He is survived by his wife Kumiko, daughter Maki,
mother Yvonne Davis of Claremont and father C.B.
Bud Davis of Nevada.He also leaves his sister
Stephanie Davis, brother Kirk Davis and nieces Maya
Davis and Asia Coffman, all of Claremont.
A service will be held Saturday, September 5 at 4
p.m. at the La Verne Church of the Brethren, located at
2425 E St. in La Verne.

OUR TOWN
According to current health care sector data, Inpatient
Rehabilitation Facilities, such as Casa Colina, typically
win approximately 80 percent of their appeals before
ALJs. The ALJ appeal backlog means that HHS will
continue to retain funds that rightfully belong to the hospitals that treat Medicare beneficiaries. To date, HHS
holds more than $1.1 million in Casa Colinas funds for
services already provided. This action has created a financial burden to Casa Colina that could threaten its
ability to provide much-needed patient care to the most
vulnerable Medicare beneficiaries.
Inaugural Claremont Art Showcase opens next week
Local kids throw Judo contest, bring home medals

A team of four members from Goltz Judowhich
holds its classes at Claremonts Alexander Hughes Community Centerrecently won several titles at the US
Judo Summer Nationals held in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Spencer LaMott, a 17-year-old brown belt from
Claremont, finished fourth, defeating several strong opponents and advancing to the bronze medal match.
Johana Forman, a 9-year-old blue belt from Upland,
won a gold medal, defeating all of her opponents by ippons (full points). Her 13-year-old sister Sadie Forman,
a purple belt, won a bronze medal in her division after
battling hard over the silver in her division.
Inez Torres, 18, a brown belt from Azusa, won both a
gold and silver medal in her divisions, contending with
a very tough black belt from Indiana.
Each of these young champions has been practicing at
Goltz Judo, which has been affiliated with Claremont
Human Services for over 25 years. To find out about
classes and registration, call (909) 399-5490.
Casa Colina files suit relating to

Medicare appeals
Casa Colina Hospital and Centers for Healthcare filed
a lawsuit to require the US Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS) to resolve Medicare appeals
within 90 days of submission, as required by federal law.
The suit, which was filed in the US District Court for
the Central District of California, requests the court to
order HHS to address Casa Colinas pending appeals,
which have been languishing for as long as two years.
The lengthy delay in addressing our appeals could
threaten our ability to serve the rehabilitation needs of
Medicare beneficiaries in California, Felice Loverso,
Ph.D., president and CEO of Casa Colina stated. With
this suit, Casa Colina intends to hold Medicare to the
rules established by Congress.
When the Medicare program denies payment for a
claim for services, the statute entitles providers and patients to a hearing before an administrative law judge.
The statute requires the judge to hold a hearing and issue
a decision within 90 days. HHS has routinely missed
this deadline. However, because it has permitted its auditors to review and deny hundreds of thousands of
claims without adequate oversight by HHS, the backlog
has become so extreme that HHS has stopped assigning
new appeals to administrative law judges for 28
months.
Casa Colinas experience with its past HHS appeals
shows that most of the claim denials are invalid. During the appeal process, HHS recoups Medicare payments and holds them while providers often wait years
for their appeals to be heard instead of the 90-day requirement.
Local artists will share their works during the first

Claremont Art Showcase scheduled to be held at the

Pilgrim Pacers take racing skills

to competition in France
According to renowned editor Judith Regan, the key
to successful aging is to pay as little attention to it as
possible. Its an adage proves to be true for a group of
senior athletes known as the Pilgrim Pacers, who left
Claremont on August 2 to compete at the World Master
Athletic Championships in Lyon, France.
These 11 men and women prove that age is just a
number as they join more than 8,000 athletes from a
record 98 nations to compete in racewalking at the biennial track and field event held under the auspices
ofWorld Masters Athletics. The Championships run
from August 4 through August 16, 2015 and are open to
individual competitors aged 35 years and older.
Racewalking is a sport contested in all levels in track
and field, from youth athletics to the Olympic Games.

tance runner, combined with the attention to technique

of a hurdler, as the athletes compete in events such as
the 10-kilometer and 20-kilometer race walk.
Although it is a foot race, racewalking is different
from running in that one foot must appear to be in contact with the ground at all times. Race judges will make
the assessment, making racewalking the most subjective of the disciplines in athletics.
The Pilgrim Pacers, aged 69 to 87, who made the
journey to France include 10 racewalkers and one runnerJacqueline Chase, Carol Dyar, Lynne Juarez,Paul
Lawson, Bill and Grace Moremen, Sally Simmel,
Anelise Smith, Ann Stromberg, Charlene Tschirhart, and
Bob Smith. The group is led and trained by Pilgrim
Place resident Bill Moreman.
Comprised of both residents of Pilgrim Place and
members of the larger community, the Pilgrim Pacers
regularly compete in both local and regional racers. Several members hold national records, including Anelise
Smith, who set a national record for her age group in the
15K this past spring. Member Bill Moremen holds five
age-group national records and, until recently, one world
record. Grace Moremen, a noted author, is a three-time
recipient of the national Race Walker of the Year Award.

Taking cover:
RSABG horticulturalists weight in on turf replacement
ith the ongoing

drought and accompanying watering
restrictions, it seems like
everyone is pondering turf removal and replacement.
It isnt hard to do, but it does require thought, April Garbat said.
Ms. Garbat, who is communications
specialist with the Rancho Santa Ana
Botanic Garden and a professional
landscaper, suggests residents first decide how much, if any, grass they want
to maintain.
You might easily stand to replace all
of your turf, given an attractive alternative. If youve got kids who play in the
back yard, however, or a dog that needs
a place to do his business, you might
want to retain a bit of turf.
Ms. Garbat recommends that beginners tinker with lawn replacement on a
smaller scale. You might, for instance,
start with the strip of grass bordering
your driveway. A measured approach
gives residents time to work with the
seasons and to experiment with attractive garden design.
Not every lawn is the same, Ms. Garbat notes. Killing Marathon grass requires little more than the cessation of
watering. Other species require a more
calculated approach.
Grasses like Bermuda or St. Augus-

use to replace lawns.
tine call for a multi-step process that

can take as long as six weeks. Its not
enough to stop watering hardy grasses,
Ms. Garbat said. You may need to
cover your lawn with plastic during the
summer, literally steaming the grass to
death.
If this sounds daunting, you may
want to attend Ms. Garbats upcoming
How to Replace Your Lawn workshop, set for Saturday, August 29 from
10 a.m. to noon at the Rancho Santa
Ana Botanic Garden (RSABG).
The timing of the workshop is good,

Ms. Garbat said, because there will still
be several weeks of hot weather left.
As for replacing your lawn, fall and
winter provide a much better atmosphere for establishing fledgling plants,
according to Antonio Snchez, production manager at the Gardens Grow Native Nursery.
In June and July, youre looking at
14-hour days, which can really dehydrate new plants, he said. In December, youve got only eight or nine hours
of sun, and you might get some rain.

Sometimes in their rush to create a
mature-looking yard, people make the
mistake of investing a bunch of money
in larger plants. Starting smaller, however, poses less of a gamble.
If you buy a $5 plant and it fails, its
not the same as losing a 10-gallon plant
that cost $50, Ms. Garbat said. Plus,
theres a better transplant rate. Larger
plants can get root-bound and its easier
for them to go into shock.
The Grow Native Nursery is closed,
but will reopen on Saturday, October 3.
It stocks many plants that cost $5 or
less and that are youthful enough to roll
with the punches.
The COURIER recently stopped by
the RSABG to talk about which native
plants make for good groundcovers.
The following are a few of the turf-alternatives recommended by Ms. Garbat
and Mr. Snchez.
At 36 to 48, Pozo Blue salviaa
heat- and drought-tolerant sage hybridmakes for a taller groundcover.
Come spring, its lavender blossoms add
color to your yard. Siskiyou blue fescue
is an ornamental grass that grows in
mounds of 8 to 12 inches tall and wide.
Lawn-lovers find it appealing because
its blades mimic those of less waterwise grass. It likes full sun and looks
great when massed and paired with an
accent or hardscape.
Dune sedge, another groundcover
TAKING COVER/next page
TAKING COVER/from previous page
TURF REDUCTION/from page 3
that looks lush with minimum watering, is cost-effective because it spreads

underground. Its glossy leaves grow to
a height of 10 to 12 inches.
California fuschia likes partial shade
but, given a touch more water, can
thrive in full sun. Its a particularly
stunning plant come summertime,
when it bursts into flowers that can
range from white to deepest red. Ive
been dive-bombed by hummingbirds
planting them, Ms. Garbat said.
Both horticulturalists heartily recommend several different types of
ceonothus as a groundcover. The Diamond Heights Carmel Creeper is a
ceonothus that grows to about a foot
high, has spring green leaves striped
with darker portions and does better in
partial shade. These are kind of like
the redheads of the plant world, Ms.
Garbat explained. Variegated species
cant be in full sun or theyll get sunburned.
Another ceonothus, the Ray Hartman Wild Lilac, can grow as tall as 18
feet and can handle plenty of sunshine.
Its blue blooms, which appear in
spring and winter, provide added color
to a garden.
Coyote brush is a groundcover that
is good for people who are addicted
to green, according to Ms. Garbat. It
ranges from four to eight feet tall, but
can also be cropped close to the
ground.
One plant Ms. Garbat and Mr.
Snchez recommended is something a
lay-person would never even consider
as a groundcover. Woodland strawberries, which can grow to be a foot in diameter and height, are an effective way
to cover a space. With small, sweet
berries and pretty white flowers,
theyre also charming. Another surprise is that manzanita, which is more
well-known as a tree, can be an effective groundcover. Carmel Sur, a prostrate manzanita that can reach a foot
high and four to six feet wide, is one
such species.
One of the hardiest native groundcovers you can employ is yarrow, according to the RSABG staffers. You
can walk on yarrow and it will still
thrive. You can crop it close to the
ground, mowing it like grass, or allow
it to grow to a height of up to two feet.
Its flowers, Ms. Garbat notes, serve as
excellent platforms for butterflies.
T
Siskiyou blue fescue shown with a cactus for contrast is a possible plant pairing when planting a drought-tolerant
garden.
It is hugely beneficial for people

who are redoing their yards to consider
some of the elements of design. I tell
people, Dont get one of every plant.
Repeat, Ms. Garbat said.
Mr. Snchez demonstrated, placing
several plants of one species together,
then adding a cactus to the grouping.
Next, he jumbled together a wide and
disparate variety of plants.
If you see five plants at a time, it
calms you, he said. Thirty different
plants is chaos. Its like a family of
kids at Chuck E. Cheese.
However you arrange them, Ms.
Garbat believes native plants are the
best choice, and not just for their
water-wise ways.
These plants, we do next to nothing
for them, she said, motioning to
species growing near the entrance to
the RSABG. Native plants provide
more insects and more birds and they
are in balance. You might get a lot
caterpillars and freak out, and then the
birds come and eat them. All of that activity is much more refreshing.
Mr. Snchez recommends that before shopping at the Grow Native
Nursery, guests take a walk through
the 86-acre garden. When visitors see a
plant they like, they can snap quick
picture to show the Grow Native staff.
We may not have the same plant,
but we can get ideasshe likes a fourfoot plant with a flower, or hes looking for a hedge, he said.

he plans were designed to not

only focus on creating an attractive yet climate-appropriate
landscape in the approximately 36,000
square feet of planting space in the medians between Foothill Boulevard and
Base Line Road, but to also be reflective of Claremonts character while retaining all of the citys 50-year-old
Sycamore trees already in place.
The Claremont City Council approved the design, plant palette and
specifications of the Indian Hill Boulevard Median Turf Reduction Project in
January 2015. Council awarded the
construction contract to Kasa Construction in June after they came in
with the lowest bid at $253,828 to
complete the project.
To help offset the cost, the city applied and received approval for a turfreduction rebate through Metropolitan
Water District valued at $63,000.
While the reconstruction of the medians on Indian Hill Boulevard is taking place, the city will continue to
water the trees in the medians twice a
week. Watering these trees will help to
prevent drought stress during the construction phase of the project as the
median islands are re-landscaped with
drought-tolerant plantings and new
drip irrigation.
The Indian Hill Boulevard Median
Turf Reduction Project will be completed in two phases. Phase One of the
project is anticipated to take 60 working days, with an estimated completion
in October 2015.
Phase Two, consisting of the median
areas located on Indian Hill Boulevard

between Arrow Highway and the 10

freeway, is anticipated to begin in Winter 2015.
The end result is expected to have a
variety of benefits including reducing
water consumption by 50 percent, lowering maintenance costs and the need
for pesticides and chemical fertilizers
and reducing nuisance water on the
roadways.
If not for the urgency of the water
conservation mandates, projects such
as the Indian Hill Boulevard Turf Reduction Project would have been added
to the citys large list of capital improvement projects and workloads.

Adult school fitness, art classes to lose state funding
Claremonter James Croghan uses the rowing machine during an exercise and fitness class at CHS.
This class and the circuit training class held at El
Roble will no longer get money from Sacramento under the new rules for adult education.
eginning next year, some of the

classes taught through the Claremont Adult School will be managed by a new consortium of local adult
education providers under the direction of
Assembly Bill 86, passed two years ago.
Sacramento has yet to give individual districts the
word on how the new consortiums will be managed,
however, CUSD Coordinator of Alternative Education
Maria Ortega works on her arm strength and coordination during fitness class at CHS. The class runs
Monday through Thursday at 7 p.m. and costs $50 for
a 10-week session.
COURIER photos/Steven Felschuneff

Phoebe Deville works on her balance with the assistance of instructor Mike Lepore on Wednesday during an
exercise and fitness class at CHS. Ms. Deville credits the course, which is offered through Claremont Adult
School, for helping her lose 40 pounds.
Felipe Delvasto expects to know by the beginning of

2016.
Under AB 86, either the local community college
would manage the consortium or it would remain
under the management of local school districts. Either
way, there should be little difference in the classes offered here in Claremont, according to Mr. Delvasto.
What will change is that students who approach
Claremont Adult School about programs offered in
other districts within the pool, such as those in nursing, could enroll in Claremont and then attend classes
at the other school.
Claremont will be part of the Citrus College consortium, which also includes the cities of Glendora,
Azusa, Monrovia and Duarte.
In the past we had to tell them we didnt offer
that, Mr. Delvasto said.
Affected are type I, or basic skills classes, such as
those leading to a high school diploma, GED and
English as a second language. Classes for disabled
adults are also affected.
Type II, or community enrichment classes, will not
be covered under the new arrangement but must continue to be self-sustaining. These classes, including
fine arts and exercise courses, must meet minimum
enrollments in order to continue.
Paying for the instructor accounts for the main expense of enrichment classes, however, there are also
facility costs. Some classes such as ceramics require
an additional materials fee. There is some risk that
these classes could be eliminated if enrollment declines, however, that same risk exists now.
An exception to the current structure has been the
exercise and circuit training classes taught by Mike
Lepore. Initially the exercise program was for district
employees only but in the early 90s Mr. Lepore
asked then head of adult education Chris Ulrich if the
class could be offered to the public. Ms. Ulrich agreed
and was able to secure state funding as it was classified as an applied public health class.
For over 10 years the class was offered free of
charge, with money coming from Sacramento based
on attendance, much like K-12 education. But that all
changed with budget cuts associated with the recession. Since then, participants have paid $50 for a 10-
week session, with money from the district and

fundraising campaigns making up any shortfall. However, that is set to change.
In about a year, the two classes will have to become
self-sufficient, which means that enrollment will need
to double to avoid raising the cost, according to Mr.
Lepore.
Because we have so many seniors on fixed incomes I did not want it to be a hardship, so I was insistent that the cost stay at $50, he said.
Retired teacher Phoebe Deville has been coming to
the evening class since having surgery in October
2013 and seeking exercise to speed recovery. I have
lost 40 pounds and can go 10 to 15 minutes on the
bike, she said during a brief break from her Wednesday night workout.
These are the nicest people ever, they all work
hard and encourage each other, she said. And Mike
knows what he is doing, so it is safe.
Local realtor Mike Ramirez has been attending for
nine years and credits the class for turning his health
around. I have type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure
and high cholesterol, but since I started here all my
levels are down and Ive lost 39 pounds, he said.
Mr. Lepore estimates that he will have to bring enrollment up to 60 or 70 students from the current 35.
He hopes to get a boost from a booth at Village Venture and will be actively pursuing a corporate sponsor.
Mr. Delvasto confirmed that the exercise classes
would not receive state funding under the new consortium, but emphasized that he would like to continue to
offer the program.
We understand it is a process, we will talk to the
community, reach out to organizations as a district to
figure out what going to do to support those classes,
said Mr. Delvasto, acknowledging that there is a significant senior population counting on those classes.
Overall Mr. Delvasto is looking forward to the new
consortium mainly because he will be able to offer a
wider range of programs.
Asked if he was excited he said: Absolutely. We
have been hit by budget cuts in previous years. The
new [program] will be better than we have offered
for awhile.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF:
WILLIAM JAMES GALLAGHER
CASE NO. BP165386
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent
creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the WILL or estate, or both of WILLIAM
JAMES GALLAGHER.
A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by
JEFFERY GALLAGHER in the Superior Court of
California, County of LOS ANGELES.
THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that JEFFERY GALLAGHER be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.
THE PETITION requests authority to administer
the estate under the Independent Administration of
Estates Act . (This authority will allow the personal
representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal
representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or
consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless
an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should
not grant the authority.
A HEARING on the petition will be held in this
court as follows: 09/09/15 at 8:30AM in Dept. 9
located at 111 N. HILL ST., LOS ANGELES, CA
90012
IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition,
you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance
of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate
Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or
personal delivery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult
with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.
legalads@claremont-courier.com 909.621.4761
YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If
you are a person interested in the estate, you may
file with the court a Request for Special Notice
(form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account
as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the
court clerk.

above. If no street address or other common
designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within
10 days of the date of first publication of this
Notice of Sale. 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
Claremont COURIER Classifieds/Friday, August 14, 2015
property. You should also be aware that the

lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien.
If you are the highest bidder at the auction,
you are or may be responsible for paying off
all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off,
before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens
that may exist on this property by contacting
the county recorder's office or a title insurance
company, either of which may charge you a
fee for this information. If you consult either
of these resources, you should be aware that
the same lender may hold more than one
mortgage or deed of trust on the property.
NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale
date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee,
beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to
Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.
The law requires that information about
trustee sale postponements be made available
to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those
not present at the sale. If you wish to learn
whether your sale date has been postponed,
and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and
date for the sale of this property, you may call
(714) 730-2727 or visit this Internet Web site
www.servicelinkasap.com, using the file
number assigned to this case 12-19022. Information about postponements that are very
short in duration or that occur close in time to
the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the
Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Dated: 8/6/2015 Law Offices of Les

The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any
incorrectness of the property address or other
common designation, if any, shown herein. If no
street address or other common designation is
shown, directions to the location of the property
may be obtained by sending a written request to
the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first
publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee
is unable to convey title for any reason, the
successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy
shall be the return of monies paid to the
Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have
no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for
any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be
entitled only to a return of the deposit paid.
The Purchaser shall have no further recourse
against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the
Mortgagees Attorney. If you have previously
been discharged through bankruptcy, you may
have been released of personal liability for this
loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders rights against the real
property only. As required by law, you are
hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted
to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the
terms of your credit obligations. QUALITY

Parcel No.: 8671-043-041 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 recorders office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for
this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender
may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust
on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY
OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice
of sale may be postponed one or more times by
the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court,
pursuant to Section 2924g of the California
Civil Code. The law requires that information
about trustee sale postponements be made
available to you and to the public, as a courtesy
to those not present at the sale. If you wish to
learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time
and date for the sale of this property, you may
call 714-730-2727 for information regarding
the trustees sale or visit this Internet Web site
http://www.qualityloan.com , using the file
number assigned to this foreclosure by the
Trustee: CA-14-651794-CL . Information about
postponements that are very short in duration or
that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may
not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best
way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee
disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the
property address or other common designation, if
any, shown herein. If no street address or other
common designation is shown, directions to the
location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER
ESTATE OF JACQUELINE A. CROWL
Case No. BP163829
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both,
of JACQUELINE A. CROWL
A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed
by Joelle A. Green in the Superior Court of
California, County of LOS ANGELES.
THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests
that Joelle A. Green be appointed as personal
representative to administer the estate of the
decedent.
THE PETITION requests the decedent's will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate.
The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.
THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority
will allow the personal representative to take
many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important
actions, however, the personal representative
will be required to give notice to interested
persons unless they have waived notice or
consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be
granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause
why the court should not grant the authority.
A HEARING on the petition will be held
on Sept. 2, 2015 at 8:30 AM in Dept. No. 5
located at 111 N. Hill St., Los Angeles, CA
90012.
IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state
your objections or file written objections with
the court before the hearing. Your appearance
may be in person or by your attorney.
IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file
your claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by the
court within the later of either (1) four months
from the date of first issuance of letters to a
general personal representative, as defined in
section 58(b) of the California Probate Code,
or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal authority
may affect your rights as a creditor. You may
want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.
YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for
Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of
an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or
of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special
Notice form is available from the court clerk.

Prices have taken a bit of a dip in July. While sales numbers were actually stronger than expected,
the majority of the homes that are selling are under $750,000. In speaking with several of my colleagues around the conference room table, we all agreed that homes in the $750,000-plus category took a bit of a slide in prices the past month. When you compare July with June of 2015, the
average list price of homes sold went down by nearly $100,000 and the days on market went up
by 19 days. Oddly enough, July of 2015 looked very similar to July 2014, but with a slight dip in
prices reflected there as well. As the industry keeps a close eye on interest rates, it will be interesting to see if they rise any time in the near future. That is the buzz we have been hearing

The recent sale of our Claremont home presented some very
unique challenges. Carlos and Pat handled my former home
as if it were their own. They kept me informed,
responded with professionalism and reassurance, and made
sure that as their customers, my ex-husband and I were their
top priority. The house ended up selling for higher than
asking price. I recommend Carlos and Pat Samuelson with
complete confidence and a heart full of gratitude.
