12th Street water woes
Dear Editor:
We are delighted that the residents of
Tulane Road will soon have their water
leaks fixed. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for those of us who live on
12th Street.
We are the homeowners at the corner
of 12th Street and Oxford Avenue, whose
ongoing water leak was referred to in last
weeks article. Specifically, it was reported that Ben Lewis of Golden State
said that leak would be more difficult to
repair without damaging or removing the
tree on top of it. A bit of background is
needed here.
In the past two years, there have been
eight leaks on our property. We have already lost one of our two city trees to an
earlier leak. At that time, the city arborist
said that the tree might not remain stable
because the leak was too close to the
roots, so the tree came down. Since then,
five other leaks have emerged in different
areas of our front lawn and many more
have sprung up all along 12th Street. Cutting down one more tree will not fix that!
Golden State has been very responsive
in fixing each leak, even bringing in special equipment to try to save our second
tree. However, it has become obvious

PROGRAM CHANGE

Decker Hall, 665 Avery Rd., on Sunday, February 28 has been cancelled.
Rabbi Rosen, who was set to discuss his novel, Wrestling in the Daylight, will visit Claremont in March or
April.
that these patches will no longer work. It

is time that the 12th Street main water
line be relocated to the street, as they are
about to do on Tulane.
We understand this is complicated by
the litigation between the city and the
water company, but meanwhile, water
continues to run down 12th Street during
this severe drought. Some action must be
taken soon.

Westward ho
Dear Editor:
Well, thats done. The zoning update of
the citys general plan from 2006 will ensure that Pomona College land, which in
reality extends to Harvard Avenue on the
west, will indeed be used for the great
and powerful Pomona College Museum
of Art.
The zoning change denied in 2015 will
be reversed and you will see Pomona
College on the west side of College Avenuein a big way. Its been on the
Pomona College planning map for 10
years and the discussion will cease about
alternate sites on any campus.
We have no doubt that the colleges
master plan will be thankfully approved
and the design and location will be gratefully settled by the city council and commissions. No more bumps in the road.
And it was an oversight by 2006 city
staffnot the planning commission of
2015 who denied the request, or the present city staff. No one here did it.
Ive always thought that College Avenue was the divider between town and
gown, but its been Harvard all along.
And who says its not?

City finances to stay in black for fiscal year 2015-16
ity Finance Director

Adam Pirrie presented
the Claremont City
Council with a positive midyear budget report for 20152016 on Tuesday, indicating
that the citys revenues are
generally on track and likely
to meet or exceed budgeted
amounts.
According to the report, just over $16
million in total revenues had been received by the city
through the final day
CITY
of 2015, which is also
COUNCIL
the end of the second
quarter of the 2015-16 fiscal year. The
revenues represent 32.7 percent of the
full-year revenue budget of $48.9 million. This is typical, says Mr. Pirrie,
since much of the yearly revenues are
received at the tail-end of the fiscal year.
To give some perspective, at the
same point last fiscal year, 34.1 percent
of budgeted revenues had been received by December 31, said Pirrie.
As far as expenditures are concerned,
the total number amounted to over
$48.8 million, but with adjustments including equipment costs, unfinished
projects and the ongoing acquisition of
the water system, the budget amounted
to $57,958,282, according to Mr. Pirrie.
Expenditures amounted to 40.5 percent
of the total full-year budget, or $23.4
million, compared to 39.8 percent at the
same time last year.

The citys general fund, which Mr.
Pirrie notes is the largest and most
flexible coffer that the city uses to
fund activities, is on track to meet the
citys expectations. The adjusted budget
for 2016 included $24.1 million in revenues, with an actual budget of around
$7.7 million, representing 31.8 percent
of full-year revenues. Expenditures in
the general fund amounted to an actual
budget of around $12.4 million, or 44.8
percent of the general fund budget of
$27.6 million.
The city council was pleased with
Mr. Pirries detailed report.
Im proud were doing so well financially in the city, Councilmember
Opanyi Nasiali said. To quote one
wise person, you may be on the right
track, but dont just sit there.
The final item on the agenda concerned the acquisition and installation
of 27 new light fixtures around
Wheeler Park. Community Services
Manager Kristin Mikula was on hand
to present the proposal to the council.
The fixtures are intended to provide
lighting around the park and playgrounds, with LED technology for improved energy efficiency, according to
Ms. Mikula. A notable feature in the
new light fixtures are motion detectors,
which allow the lights to switch on
when someone is in the area. This allows for more energy saving, as well as
alerting neighbors when someone is in
the park after hours, according to Ms.
Mikula.
The cost of the fixtures is $72,485,

which will be taken out of a $270,650
grant approved by the city for the
Wheeler Park Lighting Improvement
Project, according to city documents.
The remaining grant money will be
used for more lighting projects, as well
as other costs associated with the park.
Ms. Mikula noted that the city is
moving forward with purchasing the
lights, as opposed to waiting for a contractor. We thought the project timeline flexibility, by purchasing the
fixtures now, would be helpful in the
event that we get a heavy El Nio that
we keep hearing about, and if we have
some unintended rain delays, she said.
The motion was passed unanimously,
5-0.
The council opened the meeting with
two ceremonial matters, first being
recognition of the 50th anniversary of
the Pomona Valley Workshop, which
serves adults with disabilities in the region.
Mayor Corey Calaycay noted that
the group started with a few determined
parents dedicated to helping adults with
special needs. Over the years it has
grown into four customer service programs, serving 400 clients annually, according to the Pomona Valley
Workshop website.
Mr. Calaycay also mentioned the
workshop also has a program that helps
people with developmental disabilities
find jobs in the region, with some employers in Claremont a part of that program.
Pomona Valley Workshop board

president Brady Jennings, as well as
other members of the board and community, was present to accept the
recognition from the council. We
thank those who have been able to support us over the years, he said.
Mr. Calaycay offered congratulations
on behalf of the council and good luck
as you move forward towards your
100th anniversary.
Next was a recognition of 20 graduates from Claremont High School who
completed the 20-hour Community
Emergency Response Team (CERT)
training to help first responders in the
event of an emergency.
The program was completed over the
weekend of January 29-31.
The CERT program was brought
from Japan and implemented by the
Los Angeles County Fire Department
as a way to teach ordinary citizens the
proper skills to save lives, care for the
community and be a local asset to first
responders, according to Mr. Calaycay.
Katie Distelrath, the head of the
Youth Activity Center and the Teen Activity Center, spearheaded the program.
The teens, as well as Ms. Distelrath, received special awards from the city.
This is our first class of what we
hope to be many more, once the word
gets out, Mr. Calaycay said.
The next city council meeting will be
on February 23.

Colleges students make waves with KPCC AirTalk
tudents at the Claremont Colleges

got the opportunity of a lifetime to
represent their favorite presidential
candidate at a Pomona College forum on
Wednesday.
The event was a special live episode of KPCCs
AirTalk with Larry Mantle, the first live broadcast on
the road for the well-known radio show in several
years, according to Mr. Mantle. Five students took to
the stage at the Rose Hills Theatre to make the case
for their candidates to audience members, as well as
people tuning into the program, who were encouraged
to vote for their favorite student surrogate.
This is a great opportunity to be on a campus with
five different institutions. Their students and their faculty members can come join us in conversation. Mr.
Mantle said.
The program kicked off with a panel of political
scientists from the colleges, including Zachary
Courser from Claremont McKenna College, Lorn
Foster from Pomona College, David Menefee-Libey
from Pomona College and Vanessa Tyson from
Scripps College.
The faculty members flexed their expertise on the
increasingly exciting presidential primaries, from the
real chances of former Ohio Governor John Kasich
who scored a come-from-behind second-place finish
in the New Hampshire primaryto the neck-andneck contention of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
and Senator Bernie Sanders.
But the stars of the show were the students, who

Mayor declares Claremont strong,

discusses challenges at State of the City
ayor Corey Calaycay presented a

positive message during the annual
State of the City address at the
DoubleTree Hotel Tuesday morning.
The address, which came during the Claremont Chamber
of Commerces networking breakfast, highlighted the
achievements of the city in the past year and outlined the
challenges facing Claremont in the year ahead.
The city of Claremont is in great shape, Mr. Calaycay
said.
Many of the highlights outlined by Mr. Calaycay involved economic growth, including home prices rising,
businesses in good shape and a Village vacancy rate of two
percent, down from 15 percent, according to the mayor.
Mr. Calaycay mentioned the incoming tenancy of a
Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge dealership along Auto Center Drive
and tearing down the Knights Inn on San Jose and Indian
Hill to make way for a Hampton Inn, with construction
starting in 2016. The Motel 6 south of the 10 freeway will
also be rebranded, Mr. Calaycay said.
Another highlight of the speech was the emphasis on tree
care in a city known for them.
We cant talk about Claremont without talking about
trees, Mr. Calaycay said.
The mayor emphasized the citys efforts to save the hundreds of towering trees throughout Claremont, including
reaching out to residents with tree-care education in the
midst of an historic drought. A Sustainable Claremont video
outlined what residents can do to care for their trees without
wasting water, including leaving an above-ground sprinkler
on for about 20 minutes per week.
Mr. Calaycay mentioned that Claremont leads the region
in water conservation, cutting water use by over 40 percent
and creating long-term drought projects like the re-land-

to the LA Unified School District. The
incident occurred between 9 p.m. on
February 2 and 5:15 a.m. on February 3
on the 600 block of Citadel Street. The
victims vehicle was parked in the driveway of his residence when the burglary
occurred. The laptop is valued at around
$800. Anyone with information should
call the Claremont Police Department at
(909) 399-5411.
Thursday, February 4
Claremont police arrested two men six
days after a post-wedding brawl at the
DoubleTree Hotel. After an investigation
by the Claremont Police Department, 34year-old Guillermo Quiroz of Colton
was arrested on suspicion of attempted
murder and 24-year-old Dylan Webster
of Upland was arrested for assault causing great bodily injury.
The incident occurred on January 30
at the hotel, and police said as many as
10 to 15 people were involved in the
melee. Police are alleging Mr. Quiroz
cracked a potted plant over the victims
head and Mr. Webster allegedly kicked
the victim repeatedly in the head while
the victim was down. Both men are
being held on $1 million bail and will
make their first court appearance on Feb-
ruary 22 at Pomona Superior Court.

Friday, February 5
An Upland man was arrested after allegedly urinating on another person. The
incident happened at 10:50 p.m. at the
Packing House on the 500 block of West
First Street. According to Lt. Ciszek, a
victim claimed 25-year-old Cameron
Crowe relieved himself on him from the
top of a staircase. The victim desired
prosecution and signed a private persons
arrest form. Mr. Crowe was taken into
custody on a battery charge, a well as one
outstanding warrant for his arrest out of

Claremont police conducted a DUI
checkpoint Friday evening at the intersection of Foothill Boulevard and Dartmouth Avenue. During the checkpoint,
seven people were arrested for either suspended licenses or driving without a license, two were arrested on outstanding
warrants, two were cited for driving
without a license and one was cited for

scaping of City Hall, Indian Hill Boulevard medians and

Shelton Park.
At one point, Mr. Calaycays humorous video for the
Cool California Challenge was going to be played for the
crowd, but the link wouldnt work. After a few chuckles
from the crowd, Mr. Calaycay shrugged and said, Okay,
thats probably for the better.
But Claremont also has challenges ahead, according to
Mr. Calaycay. The ongoing eminent domain case against
Golden State Water has a trial date of June 2016, the next
step in a long process to take over the water system.
Property crimes have been a moderate issue in Claremont, along with many other cities in the region. But Mr.
Calaycay stressed they are more crimes of opportunity than
anything else, with thieves taking advantage of Claremonters leaving their cars unlocked overnight in some cases.
Mr. Calaycay also mentioned the creation of a Transportation/Infrastructure council priority for 2016, with specific emphasis on the upcoming Gold Line construction and
the proposed grade separation over Indian Hill Boulevard.
He stressed that the grade separation would mitigate additional traffic on the already congested road. Thats huge,
and I hope people understand that, he said.
As he wrapped up the speech, Mr. Calaycay noted that it
takes everyone in the city to make Claremont successful, including residents, businesses and organizations.
He also pointed out that Tuesdays speech is the last State
of the City address hell make before a new mayor is chosen
in the coming year. He thanked the crowd, and mentioned
that its the first time in history that all city council members
have been former mayors.
Thank you for all you do to make Claremont the awesome place it is, Mr. Calaycay said to the crowd.
and Vanessa Hill, 27, from Fontana were

arrested at approximately 10:58 p.m.

Jimmy they were driving was reported
stolen in January. During the booking
process, two small bags of a white powder and marijuana fell out of Ms. Cadenas pockets and onto the floor. She
has been charged with grand theft auto,
possession of stolen property and bringing narcotics into a jail. Ms. Hill was
charged with possession of stolen property.
Sunday, February 7
A woman was arrested for a DUI after
colliding with another vehicle and overturning her car. The accident happened
at approximately 9:22 p.m. at the intersection of Towne Avenue and the 210
Freeway, when a car driven by 37-yearold Deana Anthony of Los Angeles
slammed into another car that was waiting at a stoplight. Ms. Anthonys car
overturned due to the impact. When officers arrived at the scene, they realized
Ms. Anthony was under the influence of
alcohol and she was arrested. While at
the station, Ms. Anthony agreed to
then refused, then agreedto undertake
a blood test. She spent the night in jail
for detox and was released the next day
with a citation.
Monday, February 8
A Highland woman was arrested after
she attempted to cash two stolen checks
Matthew Bramlett
at the Chase Bank on 865 S. Indian Hill.

Just before 6 p.m., 30-year-old Lacey
Vaiza entered the bank and tried to cash
the checks with a total value of $700.
The checks were reported stolen out of
Northern California, and the victims signature was forged. Ms. Vaiza was arrested on charges of burglary and
possession of a stolen check and was
transported to CPD jail.
Police arrested a Pomona woman two
days after she was caught on surveillance
footage stealing packages from the front
porch of a house. The theft occurred on
the 1100 block of Briarcroft Road at approximately 12:45 p.m. on Monday. The
woman, later identified as 38-year-old
Tracie Chamberlin-Gertz, was seen in
the video snatching three Amazon packages and leaving. The video was posted
to Facebook, where it was viewed over
200,000 times.
The resident of the house saw Ms.
Chamberlin-Gertz two days later in the
area of Towne Avenue and Foothill
Boulevard and called police, according
to Lt. Aaron Fate of the Claremont Police Department. She was positively
identified, and the contents from the
packages were found in her vehicle. Ms.
Chamberlin-Gertz was transported to
CPD jail, where she was booked for the
theft. Her court appearance is scheduled
for April 11.

EDUCATION
AIRTALK/continues from page 3
convincingly appealed to the theater crowd that their

candidate was the right person for the job.
The first panel was all RepublicanPomona College freshman Connor Duffy represented Texas Senator Ted Cruz, Claremont McKenna College senior
John Marshall stumped for Donald Trump and
Pomona sophomore Matthew Reade represented
Florida Senator Marco Rubio.
Mr. Marshall painted Mr. Trump as the anti-establishment candidate, not beholden to the politics-asusual discourse that he said much of the Republican
electorate is sick of.
When Mr. Mantle pressed Mr. Marshall about a
specific plan from Mr. Trump, he responded that such
a plan would work, but added that getting bogged
down in specifics would not resonate with how
America votes today.
Mr. Reade, stumping for Mr. Rubio, made the
largest impression on the crowd. He brushed off his
candidates disappointing fifth-place finish in the New
Hampshire primary and defended Mr. Rubio from the
now-infamous charge of ducking questions in favor of
repeated talking points from New Jersey Governor
Chris Christie.
It was an interesting attack, especially coming
from Chris Christie who has repeated verbatim multiple times in multiple debates how hes going to prosecute the case against Hillary Clinton, Mr. Reade said.
Mr. Reade slammed Mr. Trump and Mr. Cruz as
being terrifyingly off-message and only focused on
getting the most media attention.
After the students spoke, Mr. Reade received over
70 percent of the vote from audience members and listeners.
On the Democratic side, CMC freshman Justin Rodriguez represented Mr. Sanders and Scripps junior
Mia Shackelford represented Ms. Clinton. Both students debated economic policies, Ms. Clintons struggles with the youth vote and unemployment.
Bernie Sanders is speaking to the middle class in
America and bringing up issues we have known for a
very long time, Mr. Rodriguez said. I like his candidacy, his honesty on stage, and he gives me hope as a
Latino man, first generation, that in 10 years the economy will be something I can benefit from and for generations after that.
Mr. Rodriguez mentioned his candidates promise to
raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour as an example
of his forward-thinking policies.

Employees of public radio station KPCC turned Pomona Colleges Rose Hills Theatre into a broadcast studio for the live airing of the program AirTalk.
Ms. Shackelford agreed that income inequality is a

pressing issue in 2016, but she praised Ms. Clinton as
a more pragmatic candidate, who has the experience
and the know-how to be a successful president.
She also questioned the idea of Mr. Sanders as a
political revolutionary, asserting his ideas arent as
radical in leftist circles as many are led to believe.
This is Old Left stuff to me, Ms. Shackelford
said. This is what I was raised with, this is what my
dad believes in. Which is not to say that its not cool.
The contest between Ms. Shackelford and Mr. Rodriguez was much closer, with Ms. Shackelford edging into first place with a tally of 54-46.
During the final leg of the show, four studentstwo
Democrats and two Republicanswere invited to
present their case to the audience as to why their party
is the best for the country. Kevin Covarrubias and
Camilo Vilaseca, both from CMC, represented the Democrats, and Mr. Reade and Steven Glick from
Pomona College represented the Republicans.
All four students debated back and forth about issues facing the country in 2016, including immigration, environmentalism and public policy.
The live show was peppered with breaking political
news throughout. Candidates Christie and Fiorina
bowed out of the race during the program, bringing a
sense of political reality to the student debates.
Mr. Mantle praised the live show after it wrapped
up, saying the event really got a breadth of the diverse representation from across the five colleges.
Among the crowd of students and residents were
John and Adrienne Beckmann, a Claremont couple
who convened to the Rose Hills Theatre to see the
students perform.
While they praised the students oratory skills, Mr.
Beckmann mentioned he heard the same talking
points before from the candidates themselves, an indication of voter frustration that is pervasive in this
years election.

Unconditional love
by Debbie Carini
he first people I loved were my

mom and dad. I dont remember
this, but home movies and plenty of
black-and-white pictures attest to the genuine devotion with which I toddled towards
their open arms.
And then my sister was born.

We are 19 months apart. Her presence ended my brief
tenure as an only child. Im not sure what my still-developing brain was thinking (my mother claims that I
tried to roll my infant sister off the bed), but at some
point, I realized that the mewling little bundle would
make a good colleague, a co-conspirator against the
grown-ups.
My mother aided our partnership by dressing us like
teammates: there we are in 1964, in matching sailor
dresses in front of the Veterans Monument in High
Point, New Jersey, and there we are again on 8-mm film,
smiling and waving with our white-gloved hands in our
Jackie Kennedy-inspired suits, circa 1966, as we clutch
our Easter baskets.
We did not fully understand what unconditional love
was when we were children, and yet we practiced it almost every day through our devotion to one another. To-
gether, we established elaborate make-believe lives

where we worked as secretaries or cashiers (we were
oddly enamored of typewriters and cash registers), and
we conscripted schemes from Disney movieswe were
always looking for a wealthy neighborhood widow who
might require our help and then leave us her fortune. We
went rogue as Girl Scouts and did the things we wanted
to do in the handbook like making paint by smashing
rocks on the garage floor using my dads good hammers.
Interestingly, we are not alike in many ways. And yet
our differences always allowed us to be distinctive in our
play. We often pretended that our twin beds were wagon
trains on the road west. My sister would describe hers as
lavishly appointed with chandeliers and china. Mine was
always sparsely furnished, with perhaps a few books to
pass the time. But that gave us something to talk about as
we drove our teams through the dusty desert.
On our first day of public school in California (after

several years in Catholic school in New Jersey), my sister and I met at recess.
These girls have such pretty sandals, she said, as I
stood pondering the reality that no one in my class knew
how to do cursive handwriting but me.
And so it would go through adolescence: she always
looking greatperfectly flipped strawberry blonde hair
( la Farrah Fawcett) and chic platform shoes, and me
struggling with a mess of wavy curls, (a situation exacerbated by repeated Lilt Home Permanents) and notoriously-difficult-to-walk-in Earth Shoes.
And she was (and is) so bravealways willing to go
on the fastest, tallest, craziest anything life had to offer,
while I lingered on the sidelines like a nervous actuary,
weighing the safety concerns of joining her on rickety

Green budget goals

Dear Editor:
As a hub of student and community engagement in the Inland Empire, Claremont needs to be pushing for progressive
goals in the Presidents upcoming green
budget. On February 9, the President will
be releasing the federal budget and we
must be aware of what funds are necessary to further the green goals of our state,
and our country.
As part of the Inland Empire, we are
aware of how polluted our skies are and
how valuable undeveloped land is. Residents of Claremont, especially, should be
engaging with the resources and presence
of the Claremont Colleges in order to demand more sustainable and clean energy
resources and goals from the government.
Targeting green budget funding goals
that specifically speak toward Claremont,
we need the President to focus on parks,
electric cars and solar. In order for the
practicality and accessibility of electric
cars to grow, we need more funding for
the EV Everywhere program.
Considering the beautiful parks nearby,
the Sanhedrin Wilderness needs increased
funding from the Forest Service and Big
Morongo Canyon Preserve and Area of
Critical Environmental Concern needs increased funding from the Bureau of Land
Management.
In addition, solar needs some attention
and funding as an affordable and accessible clean energy that will benefit the air
quality of the Inland Empire.
These are only some of the funding
goals necessary to further the countrys
sustainable future and should not only inspire Claremont residents to act but to also
be aware of what is necessary on a state
and national level.

The Salton Sea

Dear Editor:
Claremonts air quality is being threatened starting in 2017 by the planned diversion of 20 percent of the Salton Seas
water to the county of San Diego. The soil
under the water is a toxic brew of fine particles that, if exposed, are expected blow
west into the Pomona and San Gabriel
Valleys.
READERS COMMENTS
The water diversion seems to be a done

deal and there are plenty of organizations
discussing the problem, but to no effect.
The Desert Sun, the Palm Springs area
newspaper, recently advocated that those
concerned should contact their representatives and agitate for a remediation of the
Salton Sea before its too late.
The water there now keeps the toxic
soil in the seabed from being dispersed
into the air. Californians in the Owens
Valley have fought the DWP for over 50
years to restore their lake and remediate
their terrible air quality.
We can nip the problem in the bud, but
we must be resolved and act now or we
too will suffer health consequences of the
exposed particulates next year.
I have contacted Congresswoman Judy
Chu, Senators Barbara Boxer and Dianne
Feinstein, Assemblyman Chris Holden,
Congressman Dr. Raul Ruiz (whos district is in the Coachella Valley), and State
Senator Carol Liu to express my concern
about preserving our air quality. I will
continue contacting them and advocate
for their immediate action to remediate
the lake.
In addition to the health concerns that
the Salton Seas demise provokes, the sea
itself is a beautiful place however maligned it has been. It is a world-renowned
flyway for migrating birds; it has better
skies for star-gazing than the light-polluted Joshua Tree National Park; it has the
Salton Sea Recreational Area with beautiful, lakeside campgrounds and solarheated showers; it has fishing (the water is
clean and I understand much of the Tilapia
we eat is harvested there); it has boating
and kayaking.
Its community center is an architectural
treasure and will be featured during Modernism Week in Palm Springs. The south
portion of the lake has mud volcanoes and
hot springs along with our National Sonny
Bono Wildlife Refuge, whose clean air is
also threatened by our political inaction.
Please join me in advocating for the
preservation of the Salton Sea.

Protecting Claremonts
marijuana ordinances
Dear Editor:
A set of new laws, known collectively
as the Medical Marijuana Regulation and
Safety Act (MMRSA), will regulate medical marijuana in California for the first
time since voters approved its use almost
20 years ago.
But, due to a deadline mistakenly left
in the bill, the new laws will override
cities rights to set their own policies on
marijuana cultivation unless cities enact
an ordinance before March 1.
Thankfully, the Claremont City Council voted to adopt an ordinance on January
26 prohibiting marijuana dispensaries,
manufacturing, cultivation and delivery in
our city. The ordinance will take effect 30
days thereafter. The passage of this ordinance allows Claremont to retain local
control over the use of medical marijuana.
Now that we have a comprehensive ordinance, we must work to keep it in place.
As a Youth Engagement Specialist who
works in substance abuse prevention and
someone who cares deeply about our
community, I have very significant concerns about the effects of loosening these
regulations on the children, youth and college students of Claremont.
Research has demonstrated that the
more accessible a substance is, the more
youth use it. According to a nationwide
survey of young adults ages 18 to 25, children of parents who smoke marijuana are
more than three times as likely to use it
themselves. Among those whose parents
had used marijuana, 72 percent had used
it also. Conversely, only 20 percent of
those whose parents had never used marijuana reported having used marijuana
themselves.
Additionally, decades of research on alcohol and tobacco show that youth usage
rates are considerably higher in places
where there is easier access for adults (in

the form of more stores selling the products, for example), despite the age restrictions that are supposedly in place.
All of this matters, of course, because
marijuana use hurts youthmore so than
it does adults. Research shows that marijuana has significant detrimental cognitive
effects on the developing brain. Youth
cant regularly use marijuana without
long-term consequences.
However you feel about marijuana, its
clear that any future regulations on marijuana in our city need carefully considered
ground rules and a public health approach
to prevention. Concern for the health,
safety and well-being for all members of
our community, including our children,
youth and college students, should be the
priority.
Please join me in in thanking the Claremont City Council for their work to adopt
an ordinance prohibiting marijuana dispensaries, manufacturing, cultivation and
delivery in our city, and ask them to keep
this ban in place.

BOOKS
New bookstore reflects Claremonts artistic side
oud think Claremont, with its

artsy crowd and all those PhDs
competing with the trees, would
have a store specializing in new books.
Instead, bibliophiles have long had to content
themselves with the vibrantbut distinctly catch-ascatch-canselection of used books at the Claremont
Forums Prison Library Bookstore.
This changed two weeks ago when a new business
called Mirrored Society opened its doors on the second floor of the historical Harvard Square Building,
located on Bonita Avenue in the Claremont Village.
Launched by longtime friends and business partners
Kathleen Graulty and Julian Lucas, the bookshop is
centered on the visual arts.
Mr. Lucas, who lives in Pomona, is a street photographer whose work has appeared in Vice magazine
among other publications. A sample of his vision is
currently on view at Mirrored Society, which doubles
as a gallery.
Ms. Graulty, a Claremont resident, has a background in fashion and business management. Her endeavors include jewelry design, with her wares
available on www.raawdesign.com, but she said setting up shop in the 600-square-foot Claremont space
has been a new experience.
Its always a scary thing to start a brick-and-mortar business, but it was time to take a chance instead
of talking about it, she said.
Mr. Lucas and Ms. Graulty met more than two
decades ago while studying at Citrus College. Thus
far, their business partnership has gone smoothly.
We complement each other really well, Ms.
Graulty said. He has ideas I dont have, and I might
have business experiences he hasnt had.
Theyve turned the shop, formerly a cozy nook
where antiques were sold, into a simple but sophisticated affair.
We felt good coming in. We saw beyond what
was in front of us, Ms. Graulty said. I love the history of the building. Its really nice.
The small, airy space has exposed brick contrasting with walls that have been painted eggshell white
to showcase artwork. Wooden chairs can be pulled up
to wooden tables housing a selection of titles, both
new and rare, on photography, architecture, fine art,
fashion and design.
There are Taschen releases of every ilk and photographic musings on topics like the pulchritude of
model Kate Moss and the grace of buildings designed
by Frank Lloyd Wright.
The Bollocks: A Photo Essay of the Sex Pistols
documents the legendary punk band as its members
clown, perform, drink and generally upend the music
industry and society. The photographer, Dennis
Morris, also
known for his
iconic photographs of Bob
Marley, appeared
at Mirrored Society for a book
signing and lecPhoto courtesy of Estevan Oriol
ture in late January.
The event, which coincided with the stores grand
opening, drew a sizeable crowd. Ms. Graulty and Mr.
Lucas hope to have a similarly accomplished guest
visit the shop each month. Next up will be an exhibit,
booksigning and lecture by Los Angeles-based photographer and director Estevan Oriol on Saturday,
February 27 from 6 to 9 p.m.
Mr. Oriol, noted for his work reflecting LAs urban
and gang culture as well as his celebrity portraits, has

Co-owners Kathleen Graulty and Julian Lucas wanted to create a space where people could find quality art
books in an uncluttered environment. The store, Mirrored Society, opened two weeks ago in Harvard Square.

a compelling story. He started as a club bouncer and

soon was serving as tour manager for hip-hop acts
Cyprus Hill and House of Pain. His photographs
have been featured in Rolling Stone, GQ and Vibe.
You can take any of the shops goods home except
one. Ms. Graulty ordered the oversized, Taschenpublished The Rise of David Bowie, showcasing
photos by Mick Rock, before the recent death of the
Thin White Duke. Now, it serves as a shrine to the
rockstar. Its not for sale, she said.
Ms. Graulty feels Mirrored Society is a perfect fit
for the city.
We like the Prison Library bookstoreweve
purchased a lot of books there, she said. But we
wanted to bring something specialized to the community.
Everyone in Ms. Graultys family is an artist of
some sort. Thus, opening a shop catering to artists
and art-lovers alike is an undertaking thats close to
her heart.
For me, its a dream to have something to own
like this shop, Mr. Lucas agreed. For the photographer, who divides his time between camera slinging
on the streets of Los Angeles and minding the shop,
his current life is equivalent to a jailbreak.
He spent 10 years as a prison guard in the state of
Oregon, often watching inmates as they spent time in
the hole or underwent various behavior modification measures. The inmates run the show. Youre
just there to serve them, he said.
It was a pressure-cooker environment where, to do
his job, he had to maintain a rigid and strict attitude. When he wanted to pursue his photography, another stance was required. To be an artist, you have
to be open to the realities of life, he explained. Its
hard to do both.
After experiencing major burnout, Mr. Lucas left
the job in November 2012 and hasnt looked back.

Frank Zappa remembered in

brothers new memoir
Claremont is full of Frank Zappa lore.
Its a certainly that he lived in the City of Trees for
a time. Frank and family moved here in 1953 when
his father got a job as a metallurgist at Convair.
Claremonts nice, Mr. Zappa is quoted as saying
in Zappa, a Biography. Its
green. Its got little old ladies
riding around on electric
carts.
And its a near-certainty that
Claremont High School was
among the secondary institutions attended by the boundary-pushing musician.
Its a topic explored in the
December edition of Claremonter David Allens Inland
Valley Daily Bulletin column. The story included
quotes from Class of 50 alums Karl Hertz and Jerry
Peairs, who insist that Mr. Zappa did, indeed, grace the
halls of CHS.
You can learn more about the early years of the late,
great Frank Zappa with a new release, called Frankie
& Bobby: Growing up Zappa. The book, penned by
Bob Zappa, is available in paperback and ebook editions from Amazon.com and Barnesandnoble.com.
I have many fond memories of living in your beautiful Village. After having moved many times, I still
think of Claremont as my home, Mr. Zappa wrote in
an email to the COURIER. A large part of the book
is devoted to events an places in Claremont.
The late COURIER publisher Martin Weinberger
used to enjoy sharing anecdotes about Frank Zappas
adventures in Claremont. He occasionally related the
time Zappa set up a pizza business in the city, marked
by bizarre toppings.
Frank, he said, would buy a pizza from a local
restaurant. Then, he would top it with things like
slathered peanut butter and sell it for a one-of-a-kind
dining experience. Its unclear whether Mr. Weinberger ever sampled a slice, and theres no word yet as
to whether this cheesy enterprize enters into Bob
Sarah Torribio
Zappas remembrances.
BOOKS
onathan Lethem isnt a one-book-ata-time kind of guy. I usually get

into many overlapping books, because Im always doing different kinds of
reading simultaneously, he explained.
Jonathan Lethem
Mr. Lethem, author of books like Motherless

Brooklyn and The Fortress of Solitude, is a professor at Pomona College. He teaches classes like The
Impossible Novel, which he characterizes as a fun,
spirited course.
He generally rereads whatever he assigns to the students. This time around, he is nose-deep in The Man
Without Qualities by Robert Musil.
Its a novel in three books that, despite being unfinished, is 1700 pages. Musil was an Austrian author
and is generally classed with Modernist masters like
James Joyce and Marcel Proust. Hes read far less,
however, and rarely studied, according to Mr. Lethem.
The book, which was originally written in German,
is set in Austria in 1913, on the brink of World War I.
Mr. Lethem said the book, which centers on a protagonist who is an idle, intellectual dilettante, is concerned with the conditions of 20th century life.
All of these new innovationsFreudianism, Darwinism, radios, photographyhad transformed so
much about what it means to be human, he explained. The book is about trying to figure out what it
is to be alive at that time. What are you when you can
be anything you want to be, when every avenue is
open?
He admits the book is the definition of daunting.
Still, he and his students find it fascinating reading because its so prescient.
Its almost impossible not to feel [Musil] is describing the pressures of the contemporary situation, in
almost every detail, Mr. Lethem said. You feel hes
talking about the political and social confusion of
mass media, about the Internet, about the Republican
primary. Its a snapshot, but the snapshot still applies.
A list of impossible novels would likely include
David Foster Wallaces Infinite Jest, which has more
than 1000 pages touching on subjects as wide-ranging
as consumer culture, tennis, addiction and US-Canadian political relations.
While Impossible Novel students have not tackled
Infinite Jest, the course itself pays tribute to its author.
Mr. Lethem was hired as Pomona Colleges Roy E.
Disney Chair of Creative Writing in 2010. Wallace,
who died by his own hand at his Claremont home in
2008, became the first person to hold the position in
2002.
One of the reasons I innovated the course was because of the implicit presence of Wallace in the department, Mr. Lethem said.
Other on-the-job reading includes his students
manuscripts. Mr. Lethem says that his students help
keep him on his toes.
Theyre very alert, and they have different frames
of reference, he said. Things they see as prominent
in the cultural cannon, I totally have no idea about.
And there are things I think anyone should know that
are totally opaque to them.
The best-case scenario is that they keep me
young, he continued. At other times, they leave me
feeling quite put out to pasture.
He often has books sent to him by fellow writers, a
recent example being The Fugitives, a book by
Christopher Sorrentino released earlier this year. The
Fugitives falls into one of his favorite genres, that of
the detective novel. While Mr. Lethem enjoyed Mr.
Sorrentinos trademark style of introducing a crime in
an unexpected way, there was still an element of work
involved.
Theres a certain due diligence required. I have to
account for myself, to say what I think about it and offer an explanation, he said of reading books by
friends.
That sense of responsibility is light years away from
Mr. Lethems earliest reading experiences.
When I was a dreamy 12-year-old, reading was

very furtive and selfish and pleasure-based. It was me
going off into a different world, he said.
His father, Richard, was an avant-garde painter and
his mother, Judith, was a political activist. Their house
was stocked with books.
I was reading all sorts of highly inappropriate
thingsFear of Flying by Erica Jong, Tropic of
Cancer by Henry Miller, Dostoevskys House of
Death, he recalled. I read differently than I do now.
When I was a teenager I devoured books, skeletonizing them for the plot. I was so eager to find out what
happened.
When he rereads old favorites like The Hobbit to
his two elementary school-aged sons, he discovers details and nuances he missed the first time around
I remember enjoying the book as a kid, but there
was such a sense of presence and atmosphere because
I was reading it aloud, he said.
Mr. Lethem also enjoys finding new favorites with
his children, as when they read Trendon Lee Stewarts
The Mysterious Benedict Society. The boys lapped
it up, he said.
When he was a kid, Mr. Lethem found Lewis Carrols books about Alices adventures in Wonderland to
be pivotal. Theres something about the language and
the humor that made me aware of the writer behind
the wordsof the power of his language.
Other books that enthralled him as he developed his
writing ambitions were the speculative fiction of
Phillip K. Dick and the detective stories of Raymond
Chandler. They formed the basis of what I do, he
said.
Mr. Dick is best known for authoring dystopian
books like Blade Runner. Mr. Chandler, noted for
books like The Long Goodbye and The Big Sleep,
helped create the archetype of the hard-boiled detective.
Mr. Lethem also appreciates the Lew Archer novels
of Ross McDonald, a contemporary of Chandler. The
authors both created protagonists who, as private eyes,
were able to go into every milieu.
They didnt write exclusively about the criminal
class or the poor or the underworld, Mr. Lethem said.
They cut through social levels, from the middle class
to the wealthy, from businessmen to bohemians and
from artists to drug addicts. They are great social portraitists.
Mr. Lethem finds the most energy in books where
the writers push against genre boundaries. Its a path
he has followed, beginning with his first novel Gun,
With Occasional Music, which is both science fiction
yarn and detective story.
The writer adds that hes as inspired by movies, music, comic books and graphic novels as he is by standard literary works. He cites Daniel Clowes, creator of
the graphic novel Ghost World, and Alison Bechdel,
author of the graphic memoir Fun Home, as among
his favorite comic book writers. The form at that
level is the real thing, he said. Its not kids stuff.
When he chooses a book to read just for kicks, Mr.
Lethem inevitably chooses a novel. And, as is the case
with any working parent, he has to steal time to read.
As my kids get older, exhaustion is the enemy.
Reading is so exciting and trancelike, Ill open a book
and suddenly its the next morning, he said.
Mr. Lethams newest novel A Gamblers Anatomy
will be released this coming October. The story, which
ranges from Berlin to Singapore to the Bay Area, follows the vicissitudes of a professional backgammon
hustler.
J
Author and Pomona College professor Jonathan
Lethem in his office.
Quotable Lethem:
I learned to write fiction the way I learned to

read fictionby skipping the parts that bored me.
Reading and writing are the same thing; its
just ones the more active and the others the more
passive. They flow into each other.
The clouds were still bunched up in the sky like
a gang on a street corner, and it looked to me like
they had the sun pretty effectively intimidated.
I prefer old books and find them more relevant.
I dislike new books. Its like drinking wine thats
not ready.
My heart and the elevator, a plummet inside a
plummet.
Im forever writing around a voidI guess I
dont have to explain to you why that is.
Teenage lifepossibly adult life toois all
about what you want and cant have. And then
about what you receive and misuse.
Nerds are just deep, and neurotic, fans. Needy
fans. Were all nerds, on one subject or another.
Writing is physical for me. I always have the

sense that the words are coming out of my body,
not just my mind.

Because of the nature of the books on offer, you
could spend hours browsing in Mirrored Society. Mr.
Graulty and Mr. Lucas plan to grow their selection,
following their own aesthetic intuition as well as suggestions by customers. However, considering white

OBITUARIES
Civil engineer, beloved husband, father and grandfather

Richard Dick Pierre Young died at
his Claremont home, under hospice
care and with his family by his side, on
January 20, 2016. The cause of death
was acute respiratory failure due to
pneumonia and other complications of
vascular dementia. He was 89.
He was born in 1926 in Pierre, South
Dakota, the son of William Pierre
Young and Mary Beatrice Young (ne
Hall). His parents were homesteaders
with a sheep ranch about five miles
from Wendte, South Dakota, 30 miles
west of Pierre. They had 3000 ewes at
the peak of their operation. Dick
known as Bud in those daysattended one-room country schools, together with his brothers Charles and
Donald, born in 1923 and 1928. In the
first years, the two older boys remained
at the schoolhouse during the week to
avoid travel in harsh weather, and in
turn their teacher stayed with the family
on weekends, helping out at the ranch.
When the Great Depression and the
Dust Bowl made continued ranching
impossible, the family moved first to
Rapid City and then in 1940 to Hot
Springs in the Black Hills, where Dick
spent his first three years of high
school. He very much enjoyed town
life. He was close to his five girl
cousins, who remembered his moneymaking schemes with amusement. He
would get up early to trap critters to sell
their furs to Sears Roebuck, and at least
once he had to be sent home from
school after he showed up to class hoping that no one would notice the evidence of his close encounter with a
skunk.
Because of wartime job opportunities, the family moved in 1943 to Portland, Oregon where Dick completed his
final year of high school and enlisted in
the US Navy Air Corps. He studied for
one year at Willamette University under the V-5 Navy College Training Program for aviation cadets, and in the
summer of 1945 began pre-flight training in Alameda, California.
With the war over, he took the option
of leaving the navy and returned to Hot
Springs. He was hired as rear chainman
on a survey crew for the Soil Conservation Service, working on an irrigation
project. Mr. Young later shared a future-shaping epiphany he had while on
the job.
We were out there on the ice-cold
prairie and the snow was blowing and
we were freezing to death and a little
car came driving out, he recalled.
And some guy in the party, the chief,
goes over and talks to him, and the guy
doesnt even get out of the car! Heated
car. So when he left, I asked the party
chief, Who was that? He answered,
Thats the engineer. And I said,
Thats what I want to be. Thats the
truth! Thats when I decided to become
an engineer.
Mr. Young enrolled in the spring semester at the South Dakota School of
Mines and Technology and graduated
Kathleen Adams
Kathleen Kay Adams, a longtime
Claremont resident, died on February
5, 2016. She was 93.
A funeral mass will be held on
Thursday, February 18 at 10:30 a.m. at
Our Lady of the Assumption Church,
located at 435 N. Berkeley Ave. in
Claremont. Burial will be at Live Oak
with the class of 1948 with a Bachelor

of Science in civil engineering. He always said that if it were not for the GI
Bill, he would never have been able to
go to college. He was just one of the
millions of veterans who benefited
from this program, which contributed
enormously to building the nations
middle class, creating postwar prosperity and paving the way for long-term
economic growth.
After a few years with the Bureau of
Reclamation in Rapid City, Mr. Young
moved to Los Angeles where he met
his future wife, the former Marjorie
Louise Mather, a young artist who
worked at Buzza Cardozo as a greeting
card designer. He began his career with
the Army Corps of Engineers, reaching
the position of chief of construction/operations for the LA District. He was appreciated for his years of innovative,
ethical leadership and for his immediate
response and excellent assistance and
cooperation with other organizations
whenever natural disasters struck or
threatened.
He retired from the Corps in 1982.
Further on, he had the pleasure of
working as construction manager at
Pomona College for 10 years. Having
car-pooled from Claremont to Los Angeles since the early 1960s, he enjoyed
the change of pace and being able to
walk to work. Meanwhile, he continued
volunteering his engineering services to
Habitat for Humanity well into his 80s.
Dick and Marjie were devoted to
each other. Married in 1953, they lived
first in San Gabriel and then in
Phoenix, Arizona before settling in
Claremont in 1961, where they raised
their seven children. In 1967 the family
moved to a grove house on Villanova
Drive, and Dick and Marjie worked on
multiple projects together to make it
their own. They made stained glass
windows, transformed a porch into a
studio and designed and built a couple
of bay windows. Some things became

hilarious only later (like the time Dick
forgot to close a bottle of salad dressing
and shook it onto wallpaper that had
been hung that very day), but it was always fun watching them be silly together, sharing jokes and writing limericks. They shared the grief of losing
their son Tony in 1996, and the joy of
becoming grandparents to 20 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.
One of the familys most treasured
memories is their 1970 camping trip to
the East Coast in their nine-seater station wagon. The kids took turns facing
backwards in the dreaded rear seat,
keeping an eye on the tiny trailer dragging behind. They helped navigate using large paper maps, and everyone had
their say when it came to choosing the
best campground each night. Barney
the Labrador rode happily in his space
between the back seats, drooling on
each kid in turn, and was always the
first one out of the car, the instant
somone opened a door.
Mr. Young had a curious mind and
was always learning something new.
When his children were young, they
were convinced he knew everything
and how to do everythingexcept
maybe art and picking out ties, both of
which were their mothers department.
Growing up on the prairie meant learning a range of practical skills, but there
was another reason for his encyclopedic knowledge: for lack of other reading materials during the long winters,
he had meticulously made his way
through every volume of Comptons
Pictured Encyclopedia by the time he
was 10 years old. As an adult he continued to cultivate interests in history and
politics, math and astronomy, later listening to audio books while exercising.
He purchased his first personal computer in the late 1970s, learning to use
it for engineering calculations and
drawings and getting an early start on
his rich collection of tangled cables.
Taking advantage of his need to
travel for work, Mr. Young learned to
pilot small planes. He loved camping
with his family and fishing with his
buddies, but most of all he loved teaching kids to fish. He first tried skiing
fairly late in life. He started out with
cross-country, cautious due to his age,
but then at 60 he moved on to downhill
and there was no stopping him. He exercised all year just to be able to con-

tinue skiing, hitting the slopes for the
last time in his 86th winter. He and
Marjie traveled for two decades with
the Over the Hill Gang, and took the
grandkids on winter trips to Mammoth
and Yosemite. They were active members of Our Lady of the Assumption
Catholic Church in Claremont for many
years, where they made treasured
friends and took a particular interest in
social justice issues.
Dick was a kind man who always encouraged people to think for themselves. He kept his smile till the very
end, and he will always be remembered
for his stories. He talked about his father, who learned so many useful things
from the Ojibwe people in Minnesota,
and his mother, a former school teacher
turned rancher, who loved to read and
was thrilled to move back to town near
a library. He talked about the time
when, as a small child, his dad and uncle quickly lifted him up by the hands
over a rattlesnake, narrowly saving him
from getting bit. There were the usual
tales about slogging through the snow
to school. (Being an engineer, he never
claimed it was uphill both ways.) But
he also talked about freight-hopping
with his brother to find summer work
in the wheat fields of eastern Washington and then continuing all the way to
the coast. And of course there were the
fish stories, some, but not all, corroborated.
He was preceded in death by his
brothers Charles and Donald and his
son Anthony. He is survived by his wife
of 62 years, Marjorie Young of Claremont, his daughter Andrea Harrington
(Patrick) of Claremont, his daughter
Lisa Young Prendergast of Davis, California, his daughter Julie Young Andrews (Jim) of Clovis, California, his
son Christopher Young (Katharina
Pierini) of Pescadero, California, his
daughter Maureen Young (Alessandro
Nerdi) of San Casciano in Val di Pesa,
Italy and his daughter Robbie Young

The family sends its sincere thanks to
the staff of Kaiser Permanente and to
their friends for their loving support.

Support the museum on the east side of College

by David Shearer
would like to take this opportunity to

preface my remarks and say that although I am the executive director of
Claremont Heritage, and feel that many of
my thoughts and beliefs are echoed by the
organizations board and members, the
following words are mine and mine alone.
I do want to set the record straight in one respect

however, and state unequivocally that Claremont Heritage, including the board of directors, members, staff
and volunteers are not opposed to Pomona College
building a new museum of art.
I have spoken with hundreds of people both inside
and outside the organization regarding this project,
and the one thing that has always been a constant is
that we are in favor of a new museum. We want a new
museum, for Pomona College, for the community and
for the visitors that it will bring to our beautiful city.
Like many others, I have met with Pomona College
President David Oxtoby and his staff to review the
plan for a new museum. The one sticking point in
many of the discussions is location.
Placing a large institutional building on the west
side of College Avenue, in an area that has been historically residential, could destroy the feeling of our
most notable avenue and negatively impact the fragile
intersection of town and gown.
The west side of College from First Street to Fourth
Street is occupied by residential structures that are
part of the history that defined Claremont. The homes
are historically significant to the college and the city,
VIEWPOINT
both architecturally and culturally, and have been

deemed worthy of historic designation as a district.
Why must the museum be located on the west side
of College Avenue, replacing historic structures in a
historically residential zone of architecturally significant homesan area that embodies the rich history of
both the colleges and the communitywhen there are
other available sites that might serve both the College
and community better?
Only Pomona College knows the answer to this
question, and they havent been as forthcoming as one
might expect considering what is at risk for them and
the community. Might it be a significant donor who
wants to have their name on a building in a particular
location? Could it be a long range goal to expand the
institutional zone and build large college buildings
that will abut our quaint Village? Earlier master plan
concepts show the Victorians on Harvard Avenue between Bonita and Fourth Street replaced by large institutional buildings.
A number of ideas have been suggested regarding
alternative sites for the museum that would enhance
Pomonas desire to bring the campus back to a more
historical configuration inspired by Myron Hunts
original vision.
One obvious thought would be to put the museum
where Hunt originally intended itwhere the
Thatcher Music Building and Montgomery Art Center
currently reside.
Of course, this would require that the intended new
A conceptual drawing by Myron Hunt shows the

Pomona museum on the corner of College Avenue
and First Street.
Thatcher be located elsewhere. But there again, several options exist.

Another location that has merit according to a number of community voices is the northeast corner of
College Avenue and First Street. A natural gateway to
Pomona College and close to parking and transportation (especially when the Gold Line is here), the site
seemingly offers an abundance of opportunities without the negative impacts.
At the end of the day, Pomona College will determine what is best for them and try to push it through.
The community can only hope that the decisions
made now take into consideration the future of our
town and work to honor the guiding principles outlined in our General Plan that intentionally set the bar

city is a result of foresight and planning.

Making new neighbors

by Katrina Mason
Inter-Faithfully SPEAKING
his month marks a significant milestone for

Claremont. For the past
two years, a dozen or so homeless men and women at a time
have been able to sleep inside,
free from worry about the cold
or their safety, thanks to the efforts of volunteers, many from
Claremonts faith communities.
The volunteers are part of the Claremont Homeless Advocacy Program or

CHAP. Unlike traditional shelters,
where people come for a night, CHAP
offers a personalized, multi-faceted program, helping its participants to move
on. Its a program to which people
apply, go through a screening process
and, when accepted, agree to behavior
guidelines. Each participant has an advocate, helping them to work toward
goals, such as getting needed health care
or counseling, job training and eventually a room or apartment of their own.
CHAP traces its beginnings to the
brightly-colored tents pitched in front of
Claremont city hall during the Occupy
Movement of 2012. As interested community members talked with folks living
in those tents, they found themselves
learning about homelessness in Claremont. They learned that the number of
homeless people in Claremont was 10
times the three or four known to city officials. They learned individuals stories,
along with the hurdles they faced daily.
The listeners began to ponder, What
if a team of volunteers could work with
each homeless person helping him or
her to get job training and a home of
their own?
A committee was formed, and by the
spring of 2013, CHAP was up and running with an ambitious aspiration: End
homelessness in Claremont by the close
of the summer.
By late fall of 2013, it was clear that
goal was not realistic. With winter coming, CHAP volunteers worried about the
homeless folks they now knew and
cared about as people, not just statistics.
The volunteers included Andrew Mohr,
David Levering, Charles Bayer, Karen
Chapman-Lenz, Karl Hilgert and Mary
Cooper, a member of Claremont Friends
Meeting (Quakers). Ms. Cooper asked
the Friends Meeting if they would offer
the worship room as a sleeping area for
men along with the smaller library for
women.
Assured that there would be supervision at all times, and that their neighbors
were comfortable with the idea, the
Friends endorsed the plan and, on January 24, 2014, CHAPs first guests
rolled out their cots.
From the start, words have been im-
portant. Those spending the night are not

the homeless, or even clients, but rather
guests. The guests are expected to act as
guests, respecting each other and their
surroundings. The volunteers in charge
are not supervisors, but hosts. Finally,
the meeting house and grounds are
known as the accommodations. (While
the Friends do not use use the word
Sanctuary, but simply worship room, the
guests tend to refer to it as the Sanctuary
and treat it accordingly).
One of the earliest efforts was the initiation of cafes. These are potluck suppers at Claremont churches that help
CHAP participants and church members
get to know one another over leisurely,
sit-down dinners.
St. Ambrose Episcopal Church
launched the idea, followed by the
United Church of Christ (UCC). These
churches now alternate months, offering
a weekday dinner every week while
Harvey Mudd students prepare a Saturday supper when school is in session,
which Our Lady of Assumption picks up
during college vacations.
The CHAP dental program was a
serendipitous outgrowth of the cafes.
Two members of UCC, Rosemary
Smith and Marjorie Heady, who had enjoyed getting to know the CHAP participants at cafes, had heard of a dental
program for homeless people in Los Angeles and proposed setting up such a
program in Claremont. They found a
willing dentist in Dr. Harry Brown, who
offered to treat CHAP participants for
free, providing whatever they needed
from cleaning to extractions, dentures
and implants. So far, he has provided
some $20,000 worth of dental treatments to nine CHAP participants.
Its made a huge impact, says Rosemary Smith. New teeth gave several
people confidence to go get jobs.
Two years after the first cots were
rolled out, CHAP continues to evolve.
Four participants are now living in a
house CHAP rented for the year, enabling them to devote time and energy
to improving job prospects. One is
working at a restaurant while he prepares to become a bus driver, the job he
has set his sights on. Another is building
up his landscaping business that was hit
hard by the housing recession and is
now offering jobs to other CHAP participants whenever he can.
Recently, CHAP became a program
under the Inland Valley Hope Partners, a
relationship that offers access to broader
expertise, along with community networking and fundraising opportunities.
As CHAPs evolution continues, one
thing remains constant: Treating all involved in the program with dignity.
Katrina Mason is a member of the
Claremont Friends Meeting and of the
Claremont Interfaith Council as well as
a volunteer at CHAP.

Boys basketball: easy win guarantees visit to CIF

to an easy, 77-39 victory over the Diamond Bar
Brahmas on Friday, in front of
an enthusiastic crowd at CHS.
The victory tightened Claremonts
grip on their thirdplace spot in the
SPORTING
Palomares League,
LIFE
and on Tuesday they
made it official by defeating Glendora,
71-44. Claremont is now guaranteed a
trip to the CIF tournament. The Pack has
elevated its record to 5-4 in league and
18-7 overall.
Claremont has demonstrated good
hustle all season and Fridays game was
no exception. The Pack dominated the
boards, both on offense and defense,
while capitalizing on second chances
that kept them at least 10 points ahead.
As seems to be Coach Stan Tollivers
typical approach, he substituted about
half of his starters in the middle of the
first quarter in an effort to keep the mo-
mentum rolling.
I thought the bench came in and
gave us some energy. They picked it up
and built on what the starters had established, he said following the game.
In the end, it was a trio of starters who
led the charge. Junior Davis Haley had a
game high of 15 points and was second
in total rebounds at six. Senior Harlan
Maass tallied the most rebounds at
seven, while only trailing Haley by one
point in shooting. Junior Kyle Scalmanini contributed 10 points, while
playing a key role in setting up plays
with seven assists.
The last time these teams met, Claremont had an easy win of 72-54. This
game was more of the same. The Pack
outscored the Brahmas in every quarter
holding their opponent to just 12 points
in the first half.
With his team ahead by 29 points,
Coach Tolliver went deep into his 14man roster as the fourth quarter got underway. Play was a bit uneven as the
relatively green players found their footing.

guys dont get as much playing time, so
they still have some jitters and nerves,
said Coach Tolliver. We need the whole
group, all 14, in order to compete. Its

9-2, on a warm winter evening
in Claremont.
However, they will have to share the

honor, because the Diamond Bar Brahmas also won on Tuesday. The two
teams have identical 9-1 records and are
co-champions.
Claremont was a clear favorite going
into their final game, but no one could
have predicted what a wild ride was in
store. In the end, seven players had
goals, resulting in a score one would expect in baseball rather than soccer.
Coach Fred Bruce-Oliver wanted to
give his seniors maximum field time,
placing his backup goalkeeper senior
Brian McKinley, in the net while letting
his usual starter, senior Nathan Armas,
fill in as a striker. It was the first time in
his high school career that Armas had
played any position other than goalkeeper, and he made the most of the opportunity, scoring twice.
His first came at the 67th minute
when he caught a cross pass in front of
the net and headed the ball for an easy
goal. It was a pretty play and his teamSPORTING LIFE/next page

mates went wild, mobbing Armas as

though they had just won the World
Cup.
His second goal, also the last of the
game, came off a free kick after South
Hills fouled him in front of the net.
I was quite shocked, very overwhelmed, Armas said about the goals.
Asked what he thought of playing offense he added, It was a lot different.
You have to be aware what is behind
you, instead of the ball coming at you.
South Hills played very well in the
first half, with several missed opportunities that could have kept the game close.
Claremont was up just 3-1 as the second
half began but beginning at the 49th
minute went on a scoring spree. They
scored three times in just over three minutes and did not let up until the final
whistle.
In addition to the two goals from
Armas, sophomore Keven Lopez also
scored twice. The five boys with single
goals were: senior Jack Kolodge, junior
Osvaldo Lopez, senior Thomas Beck,
senior Patrick Luevano and junior
Haider Al Khafaji.

Armas first experience playing offensehe usually starts as goalkeeperand
he made the most of the situation, scoring twice. Claremont defeated South
Hills 9-2 and also claimed the Palomares League title.
A cautionary note for the Pack as they

move forward into CIF: the team needs
to stop committing fouls in front of their
net. Both South Hills goals came on free
kicks and, in both cases, the foul could
have been avoided. Facing a tougher opponent, the boys could easily lose by
giving away such opportunities.
After the game, the team celebrated
their title victory by giving their coach
the traditional Gatorade dunk. It was
also the last regular season home game
for seniors, and the families of the soonto-be graduates came to the field for a
ceremony.
But the matter of the co-championship still must be resolved. CIF requires that teams must be placed first,
second and third, so officials will flip a
coin to break the tie, according to Coach
Bruce-Oliver. Its more than just symbolic because if you win, chances increase that you will host the first game
of the CIF tournament, and if you are
ranked very high could even get a bye in
the first round. The outcome of the coin
toss will not affect either teams status as
league champion.

Ophelias Jump Productions opens fourth season

phelias Jump Productions opens
its fourth season with Christopher
Durangs 2013 Tony award winning play, Vanya and Sonia and Masha
and Spike, directed by company cofounder, Caitlin Lopez.
In Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, Mr. Durang takes characters and themes from Chekhov and
puts a new spin on things. The utterly hilarious and occasionally touching result is his latest play.
Vanya and his stepsister Sonia have lived their entire
lives in their familys farmhouse located in present-day
Bucks County, Pennsylvania. While they stayed home
to take care of their ailing parents, their sister Masha has
been gallivanting around the world as a successful actress and movie star, leaving Vanya and Sonia to feel
trapped and regretful. Their soothsayer/cleaning woman
Cassandra keeps warning them about terrible things in
the future, which include a sudden visit from Masha and
her 20-something boy-toy Spike.
The production will be running through February 21
with special Valentines performances on Saturday, February 13 and Sunday, February 14. Along with the show,
sweethearts will be treated to a special pre-show improv
based on an audience members love story. They will
also enjoy beer provided by Claremont Craft Ales, wine
or an non-alcoholic drink and a choice of dessert. Tickets for these special performances are only $35.
Regular ticket prices are $25 for general admission

Pauly Shore to stop in Claremont on national tour
Photo courtesy of Rebecca Joelson
COURIER CROSSWORD
auly Shore will be headlining Flappers Comedy Club and Restaurant

Thursday, February 18 at 8:30 p.m.
The stand-up comic, actor, writer and director tasted

super-stardom in 1990 when his MTV show Totally
Pauly hit the airwaves to major fan approval. The show
ran for six years, leading him to television and film
roles. In 1993, he wrote and starred in a one-hour HBO
television special, Pauly Does Dallas, which drew in
even more loyal fans. He had roles in films from 1988,
providing supporting comedy relief, but it was the
wildly popular Encino Man (1992), partnered with
Sean Astin and Brendan Fraser, that put Pauly on the
map. Films followed, including Son in Law (1993), In
the Army Now (1994), Jury Duty (1995), Bio-Dome
(1996) and The Curse of Inferno (1997). He provided
voices in animated features such as Casper: A Spirited Beginning (1997) and A Goofy Movie (1995).
In 2014, Mr. Shore released Pauly Shore Stands
Alone, a true-life road documentary that follows him
as he performs in obscure towns throughout Wisconsin
while dealing with his personal life back home.
Mr. Shore is currently on a national tour. Tickets to
his show at Flappers Comedy Club and Restaurant
are $25. Vist flapperscomedy.com or call (818) 8459721 for details.

and any codicils are available for examination in the
file kept by the court.
THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act
. (This authority will allow the personal representative to
take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the
personal representative will be required to give notice to
interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person
files an objection to the petition and shows good cause
why the court should not grant the authority.
A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court
as follows: 03/14/16 at 8:30AM in Dept. 67 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 DE154) 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.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you
are considering bidding on this property lien,
you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will
be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.
Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does
not automatically entitle you to free and clear
ownership of the property. You should also be
aware that the lien being auctioned off may be
a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the
auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to
the property. You are encouraged to investigate
the existence, priority, and size of outstanding
liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge
you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that
the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE
TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown
on this notice of sale may be postponed one or
more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary,
trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of
the California Civil Code. The law requires that
information about trustee sale postponements be
made available to you and to the public, as a
courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you
wish to learn whether your sale date has been
postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled
time and date for the sale of this property, you
may call 714-730-2727 or visit this Internet
Web site www.ndscorp.com/sales, using the file

January was a bit of a slow month for Claremont home sales. The number of homes
sold took a noticeable drop, and days on market jumped up as well. That said, prices are
still up from this time last year. January often will have a high number of days on market
and low sales, as people tend to use January to recover from the busy holidays and gear
up to resume real estate endeavors in February. Inventory at the end of January was hovering in the high 60s. That number will surely rise and should be closer to the high 70s by
the end of February. Volatility in the market is keeping interest rates very low, which is
good news for the market and should keep prices moving in a positive direction. Conventional loan rates seem to be hovering between 3.75 to 4 percent.
