Claremont resident Emma DeWees, 8, is all smiles following the pie-eating contest on Saturday in Claremont. Her technique, which involved mainly pushing the pie from the tin onto the table, did not earn her a victory but seemed to be fun.

A zero-sum game
Dear Editor:
At the recent Claremont Planning
Commission meeting, Pomona Colleges
proposal for an art museum appeared to
be a zero-sum game: disrupt the Victorian houses on the west side of College
Avenue or deny the college a modern
consolidated art museum. Testimony pitted Claremonts preservationists against
artists and college employees. However,
there is an alternative that isnt zero-sum.
Pomonas new art museum can be located on the east side of College Avenue,
northwest of the softball field, across
from Second Street. This is where the
college proposes to relocate the historic
Renwick House, using about half of the
available space. A substantial art museum can be built there instead. It will
have a smaller footprint than the proposed design for the west side, but the
footprint can be maximized by curving
the southeast side of the museum around
the softball field, and an additional level
can be added if necessary.
The college will have its art museum

close to the Village, the public parking
structure and public transit, while the
town will preserve the lovely row of historic houses on the west side of the street
and will more fully comply with its General Plan, its Village Design Plan and
CEQA.
During the commission meeting testimony, the proposed college museum was
described as a bridge between the town
and the campus. The above solution provides a better bridge.
Art lovers who visit an art museum on
the west side of the street are unlikely to
bother crossing the street and visiting the
campus. However, if they visit the museum on the east side they will be right on
the campus, and they will find it more
convenient to stroll around a bit. Their access to the museum from the Village can
be made easy by having a pedestrian signal at Second Street and College Avenue.
This will be a win for everybody, not a
zero-sum game.

CITY NEWS
City marketing efforts get mixed results for 2015
zone change for online colleges, an

update on the citys tourism wing
and a parking permit approval highlighted Tuesdays breezy Claremont City
Council meeting.
One of the consent calendar items on the agenda was
an annual report on the Claremont Tourism Business
Improvement District (CTBID), which was established
in 2009 to promote tourism in the city.
The report detailed the CTBID key highlights from
2015, including the Discover Claremont video, which
has been viewed more 70,000 times on YouTube. The
final version of the promo video was released in June
2015 after a previous version garnered mixed reactions
from residents.
Other notable moments in 2015 include the Share
the Secret ad campaign that was plastered on Metrolink
trains throughout the region, Discover Claremont gift
card packages, increased clicking of Claremont banner
ads on TripAdvisor (0.47 percent, compared to the average click-through rate of 0.08 percent) and continued
support of Claremont Restaurant Week.
In addition, the CTBID increased its social media
presence, showing gains in every platform from a year
ago11,721 Facebook likes by January 1, compared to
6,200 in 2015; 838 Instagram followers by January 1,
compared to 437 in 2015; and 736 Twitter followers by
January 1, 2016 compared to 595 in 2015.
Overall traffic to the DiscoverClaremont.com site
was down in 2015 compared to the previous year, despite an extensive revamp of the site. There were 43,665
visits to the site in 2015 with 37,335 uniques, compared
to 64,290 views and 53,705 unique views in 2014.
Website page views were down in 2015 as well
91,176 versus 113,721 in 2014. The report blamed
lower website traffic on a server error in October as well
as a web server switch in 2015, which apparently resulted in the site not being tracked by Google Analytics for a week.

Workers with West
Coast Arborist cut
down one of the
statuesque Dutch
elm trees Wednesday on Indian Hill
Boulevard in Claremont. The trees,
which form a canopy
over Indian Hill, were
determined to be too
damaged by drought
and old age to be
saved, according to
city staff.
Occupancy rates in the citys hotels experienced

mixed-to-positive results in 2015 compared to 2014.
The Claremont Lodge and Motel 6 experienced an increase in occupancy rates, both by over 10 percent, but
Hotel Casa 425 and the DoubleTree HoCITY
tel experienced a slight, less than one
COUNCIL percent, drop-off in 2015. DoubleTree
blames the remodeling of more than 1,400 rooms and
a power outage affecting 500 rooms for the drop-off, according to the report.
Financially speaking, the CTBID has been in the
black. The agenda report states that expenditures were
$57,502 under budget in 2015. Revenues included
$225,000, plus $145,388 in 2014 carryovers and
$50,000 in reserves, for a total of $420,388. Expenditures totaled $303,463, leaving $66,925 to be carried
over into 2016, according to the report.
CLU on the move
The Claremont Municipal Code (CMC) was
amended to include online educational institutions in
several zones around the city.
The change in the city code comes on the heels of
Claremont Lincoln Universitys desire to move into a new
office space at 150 W. First Street to serve as the headquarters of the online college. CLU has been operating in
a space at 250 W. First Street for the past three years.
Assistant Planner Nikola Hlady presented the staffs
report, which mandates online educational institutions
to be eligible for a conditional use permit (CUP) in four
zones in the cityClaremont Village, Commercial
Highway, Business/Industrial Park and Mixed-Use 3,
which means properties with ground-level retail along
Foothill Boulevard.
In addition, the Village Expansion Specific Plan
(VESP) was amended to allow colleges conditionally
permitted use on the second and third floors of the
Commercial Mixed-Use zone, better known as the
American Apparel building on the southwest corner of
First Street and Indian Hill. Keck Graduate Institute is
currently planning on leasing that space for additional
classroom and office space.
CLU President Eileen Aranda was present at the

meeting, telling council that the online institution will
have little impact on the Village, as students and faculty
learn and teach on the Internet and away from the headquarters, save for two annual meetings.
She also noted CLUs desire to stay within the city.
As you are well aware, land and buildings are very
scarce in Claremont, and we are committed to being a
part of the Claremont community. Ms. Aranda said.
The ordinance comes weeks after CLU rescinded its
offer to purchase La Puerta for a headquarters after
push-back from residents in the area.
The ordinance mandates, in part, that an online educational institution shall not offer regularly scheduled
classes on-site and its students shall not convene regularly at the institutions physical location.
The wording of the ordinance concerned Councilmembers Joe Lyons and Opanyi Nasiali, calling it potentially limiting for future expansion. Mr. Nasiali
wondered if the ordinance could benefit from a less
emphatic statement than shall not convene.
Councilmember Corey Calaycay asked Mr. Hlady if
the ordinances wording is loose enough that it could be
better defined during the CUP application process. Mr.
Hlady explained that it was staffs intention to set broad
parameters that could be more clearly defined during future applications for conditional permits.
Both ordinances passed unanimously, 5-0.
Parking permits on Marion Drive
Another consent calendar item approved a parking
permit request for Marion Drive, a cul-de-sac north of
San Jose Avenue. The approval mandates that parking
permits be required from 8 a.m. to noon, Monday
through Thursday.
City staff received a petition letter from residents on
Marion Drive claiming that overflow parking from the
nearby Claremont Unified School District office has
clogged up parking spots for residents on the street. The
new rule takes effect immediately.
The next city council meeting is April 12.

CITY NEWS
Committee picks up the pace on police station plans
he Police Facility Ad Hoc Committee pored over financing options and debated the need for a
community room during the groups third
meeting at the Hughes Center Wednesday
night.
The committee, led by chair Mark Sterba and anchored by ex-officios Councilmember Corey Calaycay and Police Commissioner Ed Reece, started the
meeting off by amending their official charter to focus
on cost reduction and the approval of an adequate
Plan B based on the committees findings.
After the over two-hour meeting, the committee
agreed to look more into a blended financial approach, with the basis being a general obligation
(GO) bond with general fund money being used for
smaller costs, according to Mr. Sterba.
The financial options presented by Finance Director Adam Pirrie outlined four mechanisms to fund a
possible police station: a general fund purchase, general fund financing, a GO bond and a parcel tax.
Measure PS, which was voted down by residents in
2015, was a parcel tax.
The funding scenarios were presented using three
figures$20 million, $30 million and $40 million
with an assumed 30-year debt repayment schedule,
according to Mr. Pirrie.
Under a GO bond, Claremont property owners
would have to pay $137 annually on a $20 million
bond, $205 annually on a $30 million bond and $274
annually on a $40 million bond, according to the staff
report. Under a parcel tax, property owners would
have to pay $122 annually on a $20 million bond,
$183 annually on a $30 million bond and $244 on a
$40 million bond.
If a measure will be brought to the ballot, both financing options require a two-thirds majority vote to
pass.
Average contributions from businesses in the city
range from $108,800 under a $20 million bond to
$217,600 under a $40 million bond with the GO bond
option, versus $34,400 under a $20 million bond to
$68,800 under a $40 million using the parcel tax, according to the report. Mr. Pirrie stressed that the
Claremont Colleges and nonprofits would be exempt
from having to contribute to a GO bond. Under the
parcel tax, college contribution would range from
$34,500 under a $20 million bond to $69,100 under a
$40 million bond.
The committee debated the pros and cons of each
option, but the consensus was clearthe committee
had to move away from a parcel tax due to the failure

of PS. Measure PS, if passed, would have mandated a
$286 annual parcel tax for 40 years.
Mr. Sterba floated the possibility of a sales tax,
which was brought up by a number of residents during the PS campaign. We dont have a Costco, we
dont have a plaza, but we may still have access to
some funding through a sales tax, he said.
City Manager Tony Ramos said the staff didnt
bring an analysis back for a sales tax option because
the sales tax base in Claremont is low. Id be thrilled
this year if we get to $4 million, he said.
We have looked under the rocks, we have looked
at all the options available and this is what youre
down to, one of these options or a partial sales tax option, Mr. Ramos added. Or a hybrid at least.
Mr. Sterba said smaller costs, such as furniture,
could be paid for by the citys general fund as a way
of telling voters that those soft costs wont be part
of the bond measure, an idea that was seconded by
committee member Sally Seven.
In the end, the committee agreed to do more research into a blended funding option with a GO bond
base, with general fund money being used for soft
costs and a PILOT (payment in lieu of taxes) centering on a possible contribution from the colleges.
Committee member Stig Lanesskog, who serves as
the CEO of the Claremont University Consortium,
told the committee that a more definitive financial
commitment from the Colleges might not be available by the next meeting.
Discussion on a multi-purpose community room
and the 2002 police station space needs feasibility
study was up next on the agenda. Claremont Police
Captain Shelley Vander Veen presented the report on
the room at the existing station, which is used as a
multi-purpose facility for programs such as neighborhood watch, Community Emergency Response Team
(CERT) training and employee training.
According to Cpt. Vander Veen, the departments
Emergency Operations Center (EOC), which is currently at the mobile command post, as well as the alternate EOC in city halls Citrus Room are not
properly prepared in the event of a major disaster.
The 2002 study noted that the current police station
was inadequate and needs virtually every major infrastructure element replaced. If construction were to
begin at the site, the density would be very challenging and there would be no suitable location for construction staging.
In fact, the firm hired to do the 2002 study, McClaren, Wilson & Lawrie, noted the city would save
$2 million if they were to build at-gradeor on level

Tuesday, March 15
An allegedly drunk La Verne man was
arrested after he became combative with
police officers. Michael Sanchez, 23,
was hanging out in front of Rhino
Records at approximately 6:23 p.m.
when officers first made contact with
him. Mr. Sanchez was showing obvious
signs of drunkenness, and became agitated with officers, screaming and slamming a clipboard on a nearby brick wall,
according to Lt. Mike Ciszek of the
Claremont Police Department. After unsuccessfully trying to get Mr. Sanchez to
sit down, the officer grabbed him by the
arm, which caused Mr. Sanchez to pull
away. He continued to pull away from
officers before he was brought to the
ground and handcuffed. Mr. Sanchez
was arrested for public intoxication and

obstructing and resisting an officer and
was transported to CPD jail, where he
was held for a warrant that was found on
his record. Both the officer and Mr.
Sanchez were uninjured in the scuffle.

groundat a different location. The city cautioned in
the report that the numbers are 14 years old and may
have changed over time.
The committee debated the community rooms inclusion on a nice to have or need to have basis.
Committee member Michael Shea was in favor of a
community room at the police station, while committee member Jack Blair brought forth the idea of an
off-site location somewhere in the city.
Mr. Sterba was focused on parking, relating a story
from a former employer about opening up their community room, only to have parking be an issue. Committee member Paul Wheeler called for looking into
how many officers are in the station and a community
room at a time and reverse-engineer it to see how
much parking is needed.
Mr. Ramos said the city has standards of looking
into that subject, and will come back to the committee
with the exact numbers.
At the end of the meeting, Mr. Ramos tried to get a
handle on what the committee wanted to bring back
to the next meeting, claiming the group didnt offer
any motions on specific ideas.
If the chair or [Vice Chair Marcia Horowitz] could
give me some direction, or if you want to meet after
this meeting. What is it you really want us to bring
back to [the next meeting]? And when do you want it
back by so I can make sure and let you know whether
thats possible or not, Mr. Ramos said. Because its
really not clear.
Mr. Sterba said the committee wanted to look at the
split financing, as well as information on local legislation about parking for community rooms and a backof-the-envelope calculationor ballpark figureon
the number of square feet required per sworn officer.

Police arrested a man after he allegedly tried to rob two people in a bank
parking lot. The two victims were withdrawing cash just after 1 a.m. when
Adrian Oropeza-Peralta, 21, parked behind their car. Mr. Oropeza-Peralta then
approached the passenger side of the car
and tried to get in, reaching into his front
waistband as if he was trying to pull out
a gun, according to Lt. Ciszek. The victims threw the car in reverse, hitting Mr.
Oropeza-Peraltas car, and took off. Mr.

CHS to perform Disney tail for kids of all ages
he Claremont High School Theater

Department invites you to go
under the sea this weekend as
they present a family-friendly musical in
the Don F. Fruechte Theatre for the Performing Arts.
Disneys The Little Mermaid Jr. just became

available for schools to perform. Its a lively 45minute version of the popular Disney movie The Little Mermaid which, in turn, is loosely based on the
Hans Christian Andersen story of the same name.
It follows the adventures of 16-year-old Ariel, a
mermaid with a fascination with the land, whoduring a forbidden excursion to the surface of the sea
spots and falls in love with the handsome human
Prince Eric.
The show is so artistic, stage manager Allegra
Fass said. You really have to work to make it look
like its underwater.
In the CHS production, the title character is played
by junior Naomi Almeria. A long red wig has helped
transform her into the iconic Disney character. Naomi
has an emotive vibrato that serves her well as she
tackles unforgettable tunes like Part of Your World.
Freshman Emily Pocock was a big Disney princess
fan when she was little, so she was delighted to find
out she had landed the role of Ariels nemesis, Ursula.
If you havent been under a shell for the last quarter
of a century, you know that the ber-evil octopus
tempts the lovesick Little Mermaid to trade her haunting voice for a pair of legs.
Emily finds Ursula, and Disney villains in general,
to be fascinating because of their back storythe
events that made them turn bad. With purple iridescent tentacles, she does an able job of performing
tunes like the show-stopping Poor Unfortunate
Fools.
It all came down to preparation for Emily. When I
got the role, I watched the movie The Little Mermaid as well as Broadway versions, she said.
Other standout performances include Reel Eltahir
as Sebastian, the bossy crab with an island accent
who is appointed Ariels unwilling guardian, Sarah
Hamid as Ariels fish friend Flounder, Liz Chua as the
seagull Scuttle and Anthony Villegas as Prince Eric.
Disneys The Little Mermaid Jr. is being put on
by students of the childrens theater class. Its the only
CHS theater course that doesnt require its participants to audition. The class has yielded a big cast,
with 81 students in all taking the stage.

ally help make the show. The all-new set includes

everything from a ship, sailing on waves created by
students fluttering cerulean fabric, to palace both seaside and undersea. The students have been quite inventive. For instance, wooden coral is attached to the
castle and can be hidden or flipped out, depending on
the scene.
The lighting is designed to create a rippling underwater effect when appropriate, and to highlight the
movements of an impressive parade of sea creatures.
There are Ariels fellow mermaids, including her sisters, clad in metallic pink tail-like skirts. There are
clown fish, starfish and all manner of aquatic critters.
A dress rehearsal held this Tuesday was, as all inthe-works productions, an exercise in controlled
chaos. Assistant director Destiny Dominguez and
technical director Gavin Derleth were hard at work as
sound, lights and stage cues were perfected.
Jamie Brown, a grown-up costume designer who
works with the CHS theater department, was busy
sewing costumes designed by students with an inter-
est in fashion. These include CHS sophomores Lauren Haskin and Miranda Michno, who have an interest in fashion and designed the costumes. Laurens
grandmother taught her to hand-sew when she was
eight, spurring a lifelong passion. Miranda learned to
stitch when she was in kindergarten at Sycamore Elementary and the schools afterschool program offered
a sewing class.
I really like creating a fantasy. Ive always done it
in my head. Its fun to have it come to life, Lauren
said.
The Little Mermaid will be coming to life on Friday, March 25 at 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. and on Saturday,
March 26 at 4:30 and 6:30 p.m. Admission is $7.

Portuguese and Spanish temptations

by Jan Wheatcroft
ather round the table and well

share some meals. We will happily eat and enjoy some new
foods in Portugal and Spain while we try
the drinks for which they are famous
port wine and sherry.
First, we jump onto a hop on-hop off bus and drive
around the city of Porto in Portugal and see the distilleries sticking up at the top of the skyline with their
well-known trademarked names of port.
Then we enter a covered market in the town and sit
at one of the tasting booths and order a few small
glasses of various ports to taste. Delicious, we purr as
we sip, share and marvel at the variety of choices of
these drinks which I did not know existed. A few sips
was all that I was able to try if I was to continue to
walk on my two legs unaided. We left the rest on the
small table as a tourist lady sidled up and asked if we
minded if she finished what we had left. We didnt.
She happily sat down.
One evening, we passed by a small door around the
corner from our hotel. The door was open and a few
scruffy locals and some tourists stood around drinking
a dark liquid in small glasses. Interested, we stuck our
heads into the small interior bar and asked the proprietor what he was serving. Ginga, he replied, made
from wild cherries. We shared a taste between us and
it was rich, delicious and strong. We could understand
why all the people chose to stand about enjoying their
gingas as there was no room inside for more than two
or three people at a time.
In Spain, we tasted the different sherries, some rich
and creamy, others lighter, but all interesting. It was
easy to gather up many small bottles of all three types
of drinks to bring home as souvenirs as they are bottled and sold in every shop for tourists and are nice to
collect.
At each of the hotels where we stayed, breakfast
came as part of the price. We were presented with boring bread, pre-cooked eggs, a variety of cereals and,
sometimes, sliced cheeses and deli style meats along
with automated coffee from machines. Economical
and filling but boring, especially if you stayed in the
same hotel for many days. Then we stumbled on small
cafes serving a working mans breakfast. We were
served a crisp toasted, sliced roll over which had been
poured a rich greenish olive oil. This was then spread
with chopped fresh tomatoes and some salt. It was
served with small cups of freshly-brewed coffee,
which smelled so good. This made such a lovely
breakfast and it was so much more interesting to sit
outside in a cafe with the locals, who were either
hunched over their food and a newspaper or chatting
with a neighbor, than being held captive in an impersonal breakfast room eating a changeless, taste-free
breakfast.
The evening meal was the most fun. The air had
cooled down and we enjoyed our first drink, perhaps a
glass of wine or something bubbly, along with a few
tiny fish or some nuts or olives. We strolled past
restaurants with outdoor seating and waiters who tried

to pull you in while they pointed to displays of food
arrayed in front of them on menu boards in five different languages. Sometimes we found ourselves on
small winding streets with the restaurant below being
served by busy waiters. Apartments stood above, full
of the sounds and shouts of daily life.
I often longed for octopus, which the Portuguese
cook in a tomato-style sauce until it is soft and delicious. The Portuguese love their salt cod, but it is not
something I would choose. Fresh fish called to us. Fat
grilled sardines sizzling over coals getting crisp and
then lining up on a plate to be served; grilled salmon;
boiled potatoes; a wide variety of green vegetables
and, surprisingly, many Italian choices and restaurants.
Spain offered one of my favorite foods, gazpacho,
that rich tomato soup served cold but with an array of
small morsels to add in to each bowl. We were given
chopped hard boiled egg, crispy croutons, cut green
pepper, chopped onions and fresh tomatoes. That delicious soup became thick, rich and full. It was a meal
in itself.
We also tried a paella with seafood hiding among
the rice grains and for lunch we often ate lovely fresh
salads topped with cheese, basil or pimento, beets and
best of all slices of the sweetest and tastiest onions.
The summer heat, a few drinks and walks made us
tired. Once we went to listen to Fado music in a hilly
part of Lisbon, sacrificing a good meal for the chance
to hear the singing. At another meal, we were entertained by a music student who stood at the entrance of
the restaurant and sang. It was a real treat. Then she
joined us for a short time and shared some of her
hopes and musical dreams. And so with bellies full,
we wandered home content to dream of a new days
adventure after a good night of sleep.
The commissions role
Dear Editor:
Thank you for the extensive article
about the planning commission meeting at
which the Pomona College Master Plan
was considered. I stayed for the entire time
and would like to make a few comments.
The commission was charged with deciding if the environmental impact report
for this extensive master plan adequately
identified and discussed the possible significant effects of all of its aspects. It was
not charged with deciding whether any of
the included projects were desirable, but
only with deciding if the impacts of the
proposed projects had been examined
fully as required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Unfortunately, the commission did not restrict its
discussion to this well-defined obligation.
The meeting centered on a newly-proposed project in the revised plan, the intent to move Renwick House from its
original location in the row of historic residential-style Victorians along the west
side of College Avenue, replacing it with a
museum. The merits of the function of this
proposed institutional building should
have been irrelevant to the planning commissions discussion of the EIR, but instead they dominated the decision.
City staff admitted that this newly-re-
READERS COMMENTS
vised EIR omitted any mention of the effect of moving Renwick House on the aesthetics of the historic streetscape, which in
a town like Claremont is something of
great importance and would be a significant environmental impact. Failure to address this impact comprehensively was in
itself a reason to reject the EIR and ask that
it be revised and resubmitted.
In addition to this, there were several
other areas in the EIR where actual data
and arguments to support the conclusions
were missing and the basis for the analysis boiled down to because we say so.
Whether the Pomona College museum
would be a benefit to Claremont citizens
was not relevant to the discussion. The
commission should only have addressed
whether the paper work for the EIR and
the master plan was adequate and conformed to the goals and policies of the
citys general plan.
Planning commission recommendations go to the city council, which is the
body that actually makes the decision
about whether or not the projects are in the
communitys interests.
Unfortunately, the desire for the mu-
seum got in the way of proper process at

the planning commission meeting and the
deficiencies in the EIR were discounted by
some members, resulting in a split vote,
with 4 to 3 in favor. The city council will
now need to make a decision without having strong supporting documents.

Partnerships make Claremont

history come alive
Dear Editor:
On March 14 and 15 at Pitzer College,
Claremont history came alive. Letters
Home: A Claremont History Play was
performed by about 100 third grade students from Chaparral Elementary School.
Under the amazing direction of Chaparral third grade teacher Jean Merrill, the
exciting performance included a beautiful
dance representing the Mexican Players at
Padua Hills Theatre, a musical rendition
of Get Your Kicks on Route 66 that put
Asleep at the Wheel to shame and a wonderful pump house/orange picking skit
connecting us to our citrus roots.
Parents attended the performances on
Monday night, and on Tuesday morning

over 300 third grade students from across
the district came to see the show. Many
thanks to the Claremont Educational
Foundation (CEF), which provided financial support for transportation.
The musical performers, videographer
and playwrights were all Claremont High
School students. Claremont Heritage provided the historical photos, which illustrated the history of Claremont over the
last century. Third grade teachers Ms. Andrade, Ms. Cortese and Ms. Uy worked
diligently to bring our town history to life
for their students. Parent volunteers helped
with costumes and props. And Pitzer College proudly opened its doors to host the
performances.
As president of the Claremont Unified
School District Board of Education, it is
my privilege to serve a community that
places such a high value on educating our
students. This collaborative performance
involved many other people and organizations who share our motto to inspire students of today to be leaders of tomorrow.
Thank you, Ms. Merrill and the entire
Chaparral third grade team for helping us
understand our wonderful Claremont history!

CHAP volunteers aim to change the lives of Claremonts homeless

by Joyce Sauter
have only been a volunteer member

of the Claremont Homeless Advocacy
Program (CHAP) for a year, but I
want to share some personal observations
with Claremonters that may urge residents
to volunteer or make donations to further
the cause for the homeless in our city.
CHAP, which is celebrating its third anniversary,
held an appreciation gala in February for its volunteers. The event was attended by more than 80 people, with special awards given to David Levering, a
founding member, who spent months designing the
organizations concept.
Mary Cooper, another founding member, received
accolades for her diligent work and substantial monetary contribution, which was the crux of the first
community house rented in Claremont.
CHAP also recognized Dr. Harry Brown and his
staff, who provided dental services to program participants, some who smiled for the first time after visiting
Dr. Brown.
Joe Lyons championed for CHAP after the Occupy
Claremont movement, has remained vocal in his support for CHAP as a Claremont councilmember.
Two-and-a-half years ago, CHAP volunteers
searched Claremont and identified 50 homeless people who needed a warm, welcoming place to gather
and sleep.
Through the generosity of the Quakers, CHAP was
permitted to use the Friends Meeting House on Harrison Avenue to allow 12 men and two females to use
the facility to sleep, shower and wash their sheets and
blankets.
Volunteers supervised the overnight visits and
helped participants with breakfast, clean up and to
provide a to-go lunch. Some participants now serve as
volunteer hosts.
When a participant died recently, a memorial service was held at the Friends House and participants
were there to talk about the wonderful times they had
VIEWPOINT
shared with T. Yale Avenue business owners came

to the service and one participant recalled T saying,
Claremont is the only city where the homeless put
on weight!
Potluck dinners called CHAP cafes are a wonderful
way to sit and talk with participants. Sometimes I
never say a word because the person I sit next to loves
to do all the talking and enjoys having a listener. Ive
heard stories of abuse, loss, fending for ones way on
the streets and, most importantly, about their hopes
and dreams for the future.
Each participant shares one thing: they want dignity and to be looked upon as a human being. In that
way, the participants become our teachers.
Cafe meals are provided by volunteers at the Claremont United Church of Christ on Wednesdays; St.
Ambrose Episcopal Church on Thursdays; Harvey
Mudd College on Saturdays when school is in session; and Our Lady of the Assumption Church in the
summer. The community is always invited to join in
the potlucks. Wed love to see new faces.
The most unique aspect of CHAP is the advocate
system, where each participant is teamed up with two
advocates to develop an individual plan, which serves
as a road map so that participants can obtain necessary documentation and benefits like general relief,
social security disability, food stamps and health care.
The end goal is employment and securing affordable
housing.
The system is such a maze, participants need an
advocate to provide transportation, to set up appointments, help fill out the numerous forms and to translate the sometimes confusing questions. Without an
advocate, one could get lost in the system or simply
give up.
In June 2015, CHAP rented a house in Claremont
at a cost of $24,000 for the year plus utilities. The
plan was to try a community house for four participants to move from the Friends Meeting place. The
home was furnished by volunteers, family and
friends. When C moved in, he was elated to find a
dog food set, doggie treats and a dog bed. He said
upon opening the kitchen drawers that he was amazed
to find a rolling pin and pizza cutter. He remarked that
it was a real home.
Another resident in the community house, S, got
tears in his eyes when I helped him make up his bed.
He said, This is my own bedrooma real bed,
dresser and closet to put my things. I have sheets and
blankets and my own towels in the bathroom. Sadly,
just last week, S visited the USC hospital and learned
he has an aggressive form of leukemia and is now in
chemotherapy. How wonderful that he had a chance
to live in a real house and enjoy the comforts of
home, even for a short time.
CHAP cannot afford another house this year for
participantsthe cost of renting a home in Claremont
is just too much. There are homes in the city with
guest houses and a number of empty homes. Would
the owners be willing to allow participants to live
there at a reduced rent? Could half the rent be donated
by CHAP and the donated portion be listed as a taxdeductible gift?
We urge Claremont residents to help out however
they cangas cards, bus passes and store gift cards
are all needed.
We ask that you become a monthly supporter of
$10 or more by visiting www.chapclaremont.org.
There, more information can be found about how to
donate and how to volunteer.
CHAP has now become affiliated with Inland Valley Hope Partners. This joint effort should provide additional resources to help Claremont become the first
city to no longer have homelessness.
Thanks to all the wonderful volunteers in Claremont. Thanks also to those who will read this letter
and donate your time, money or housing to move this
program forward to our goalsustainable housing
and no homelessness in Claremont.
A hymn to the homonym
lthough Ive heard it suggested

that that English is more difficult
than other languages, most linguists agree that there is no such thing as
the hardest language. Language difficulty is an instinctive notion based on
which languages one is fluent in.
All languages, however, have components that are
especially difficult. When it comes to English, the
homonym can be surprisingly perplexing for language learners (and native speakers!).
I remember feeling totally lost in grade school as I
learned about synonyms, antonyms and homonyms.
At a young age, these distinctions were hard to grasp,
but most of us eventually got the hang of them.
Now, of course, we can rely on the Internet for a
quick reference: antonyms are opposites (big and
small); synonyms are words with shared meanings
(house and abode); and homonyms are words that
sound exactly alike but have different meanings
(aloud and allowed).
Homonyms, it turns out, are much more complicated
than we were led to believe in elementary school. The
word comes from a combination of the Greek root
homo, one and the same, and onym, word or name,
and, thus, refers to words that represent some type of
sameness. The idea of sameness is divided into subcategories with very specific distinctions.
Homophones, for example, from homo + phon,
sound, are words that sound the same but have a different spelling, such as pear, pare and pair. Words in
this group generally have different etymologies,
by Mellissa Martinez
LEX
IN THE
CITY
which accounts for their orthographic differences.
Pear, for example, comes from the Old High German pira, which also refers to the fruit; the root of
pare is the Latin parare, prepare; and pair comes
from Medieval Latin paria equals. Homophones are
quite common and often lead to crafty wordplay.
Consider, for example, the riddles one could contrive
with morning and mourning, air and heir, cent and
scent, him and hymn, idol and idle.
Another type of homonym, the homograph, comes
from the combination of homo + graph, written or
drawn. Not surprisingly, a homograph refers to words
that are spelled the same, but have different meanings,
such as fine (its fine if you pay your fine tomorrowbut, be sure to read the fine print), down (put
your head down on the down pillow) and mind (do
you mind if I mind the children?). These words are
understood entirely by context.
Although homographs often come from different
origins, there are a few instances where both versions
of the word come from the same source, which, over
time, splintered into different meanings. One such example is present.
The word present comes from the Old French prae,
before, and esse, to be. In Old French, present was
an adjective meaning existing at the time. As a noun,

it could mean this point in time. When people offered a gift, it was offered en present meaning (to
offer) in the presence of, which is how the word
present, as a gift, came about. Among common homographs are can, bank, nail, rock, file, sign, lie, bear,
story, sink and the verb present.
When homographs are only understood by the way
they are pronounced they are called heteronyms,
from the Greek hetero, different or other, and onym.
Heteronyms share sameness in that they look identical, but they are actually understood by their quality
of differentness. That is to say one must ascertain the
meaning from the way in which the word is pronounced and its context.
Common examples of heteronyms include tear (I
shed a tear when I saw a tear in my favorite jeans),
lead (the lead in Flints water supply leads me to
suspect foul play), object (I object to the placement
of the object), close (That was a close call, now
please close the door), wound (the bandage was
wound around the wound), and refuse (I refuse to
leave the refuse out all night). English is full of these
puzzling phonographic wonders. Consider mobile,
bow, minute, affect, invalid, wind and intimate,
among others.
English learners often struggle with trying to figure
out which which is which and, in fact, even native
speakers like to disagree about the rules that govern
homonyms. I came across one language blogging site
where adults actually argued over the topic! I did find
some humor, however, amidst all the confusion. One
man offered the following: A homephone is actually
the opposite of a mobile or cell phoneits the one
you keep at home. Can we all agree on that?
New employee brings design acumen, touch of grace to newsroom
he COURIER has welcomed a

new ad designer, Grace Felschundneff, to the fold.
Now in her second week on the job, she is mastering the tricky task of making the messagesof local
businesses, colleges, nonprofits and the city itself
stand out in a publication chock full of content. Shes
also responsible for laying out the papers classified
and legal advertisement sections.
While advertising is the bread and butter of any
newspaper, some aspects of Ms. Felschundneffs job
are mundane. Still, she is deriving enjoyment from
her contribution to community journalism. Its like a
puzzle, getting everything to fit. Its very satisfying,
she said.
Ms. Felschundneffs gig is part-time. The setup,
which involves her coming in three days a week, allows her to continue to pursue freelance editing and
design. Given the scale of her duties at the
COURIER, it also means she must work efficiently.
Fortunately, running a tight ship is second-nature to
Ms. Felschundneff. I have extra attention for details
and organizational skills, she said. Lack of that
makes me crazy.
She likes the spaces where she works, whether
electronic or analog, to be kept in order. When it
comes to her design aesthetic, she enjoys a combination of boldness and simplicity, allowed to breathe via
the use of plenty of negative or white space. Ms.
Felschundneff draws inspiration from the sleek lines
of mid-century modern architecture.
She attributes some of her aesthetic to her upbringing. Ms. Felschundneff spent her formative years,
from age 8 to 12,

living in Tokyo
where her father was
working as a banker.
There, she absorbed
Japanese qualities
like kansosimplicity or the elimination
of clutterand
shibui, which means
precision and understatement.
As a towhead, she
also attracted quite a
bit of attention, particularly when her
family left Tokyo
COURIER photo/
and
took excursions
to
more
rural areas.
Grace Felschundneff joined the
It seems every kid
COURIER staff this month.
wanted to touch her
blonde hair and her brothers brown locks, and to try
out a few English phrases.
Ms. Felschundneff also showed herself to be a bit
of a rebel. She and her brother were a bit unruly. We
were shooting bottle rockets through open windows.
We were not good ambassadors, she said.
She was singled out from her private international
girls school, however, and expelled for her creative
writing and caricature skills. These were demonstrated in a passed-around slam book in which young
Grace sought to either lampoon or evoke the essence
of her teachers, depending on ones view.
Her last several months in Japan still proved fruitful. Along with studying academics with private tutors, she took lessons in niceties like flower arranging.
When her family returned to the United States, they
settled in McLean, Virginia. The transition was a
tough onethere were just so many cultural differences. For instance, she discovered her new set of
peers no longer thought the band KISS was cool. No
matter. She kept on listening to tunes by the paintedfaced quartet.
I was never interested in fitting in, she said.
Still, Ms. Felschundneff managed to excel in school
and went on to receive a bachelors degree in mass
communications/creative advertising from Virginia
Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia.
She began her career as a partner at a small advertising agency in Naples, Florida, where she used her
photography, design and writing skills to promote
luxury real estate. Later, she worked as marketing designer for the Naples Daily News.
You may have noticed that Ms. Felschundneffs

name is familiar. Thats because shes married to
COURIER photographer Steven Felschundneff, who
she met when he was photographer for the Naples
Daily News.
The couple moved to Claremont in 1999 and wed
in 2001. Their unusual appellation springs from a creative collaboration. Stevens last name was Felsch
and hers was Neff, both good German names. They
joined the two last names together with und, the
German word for and. The rest is surname history.
The couple lives in a house in north Claremont.
One of their first moves when they settled there was
to take out the front yard and replace the grass with
cactus. There were no rebates at the time, Ms.
Felschundneff said. We were brown before it was
green and green before it was cool.
As it turns out, she loves California. She and Mr.
Felschundneff particularly appreciate the states natural beauty and enjoy camping in Joshua Tree.
In Claremont, Ms. Felschundneffs favorite haunts
include Some CrustI cant do without it. Their
breakfast sliders are awesomeand Blue Fin Sushi.
The Felschundneffs are also regulars at The Press,
so much so that a fashion choice once posed a problem. Ms. Felschundneff decided to don a dark wig for
their usual date, just for kicks. It soon became apparent that the wait staff was ignoring Steven and his
mysterious brunette.
They thought he was stepping out on me, she
laughed.
As far as hobbies, Ms. Felschundneff has a penchant for amateur millinery. I like to make giant
hats, she explained. She has made light-up hats, a
tree water bag hat and one that looked like a teapot,
with steam coming out of the spout.
All in all, its a good life. I love Claremont. I cant
see any reason to ever leave, she said.
And Ms. Felshundneff, who had a gig copy editing
for the COURIER in 2010-2011, is glad to be back
working in print journalism, a field she loves. I like to
sit on the sofa in front of the fireplace and read the LA
Times in print, she said. Its a physical thing for me.
While theres no reason to leave the City of Trees,
Ms. Felschundneff did return to Tokyo seven years
ago, accompanied by her brother. The pair visited their
old neighborhood and even played in the playground
they loved as a kid. It still had the same rocket slide.
It was a delightful homecoming. As Ms.
Felschundneff quips, You can take the girl out of
Tokyo, but you cant take the Tokyo out of the girl.

OBITUARIES
Veteran, internationally-renowned coach

William Bill Benjamin Arce Jr., a
longtime resident of Claremont, died on
March 7, 2016 at the age of 90. He
passed in peace, surrounded and comforted by his loving family.
Born in Oakland, California to
William Benjamin Arce Sr. and Edith
Caroline Friberg Arce, Bill was raised
with his older sister Lorraine. His father
shared with him his love for the game
of baseball. Pearl Harbor and World
War II interrupted what might have
been a great professional baseball career. He enlisted at 19 and, as part of the
Greatest Generation, he fought with
Pattons infantry in Europe and was
wounded in the Battle of the Bulge. A
critical point in Mr. Arces life came
while facing a life or death situation. He
made a promise that if the Lord spared
him, he would do something meaningful with his life. He survived to win a
Purple Heart and fulfill his promise. He
attended Stanford University, captained
the baseball team, became a math
teacher and earned a doctorate in education from Stanford.
In 1956 Mr. Arce accepted an offer to
join the athletic staff at Pomona College, and in 1958 he was asked to become the first athletic director and
baseball coach for Claremont Mens
College-Harvey Mudd College (now
combined as the Claremont McKenna,
Harvey Mudd and Scripps colleges or
CMS teams). He retired as the CMS
baseball coach in 1980 and as athletic
director in 1982. Under Bills initial
leadership, CMS became one of the top
collegiate NCAA Division III athletic
programs. The CMS baseball field is
named for Coach Arce; there is an Arce
Scholarship Fund established by former
players and CMS. In 2013, CMS en-
dowed its athletic director position as

the Director of Athletics William B.
Arce Professor and George Roberts Fellow.
In addition to his storied collegiate
coaching career, Mr. Arce developed a
second, unpaid side career coaching
and teaching baseball internationally. In
1962-1963, he took his young family to
live in the Netherlands to help develop
the Dutch national baseball program.
The contacts he made on this trip led to
him taking multiple collegiate teams to
Europe. He organized clinics and taught
players and coaches alike, all over the
globe, many times taking Major League
coaches with him. He was the first
American to run baseball clinics in Belgium, Sweden, the Czech Republic, Yugoslavia and, in 1980, the Peoples
Republic of China. He coached numerous US national and international allstar teams in tournaments and
competitions throughout Europe, Cen-
tral America and Asia. And, as head

coach, he led the Dutch and later the
Italians to win the European Baseball
Championship. In 1985, Bill founded
International Sports Group (ISG), still
operating today, to continue his mission
of coaching and teaching baseball
around the world.
Using baseball and sports as a
metaphor for life, Mr. Arce coached and
developed generations of young players
and coaches throughout the world. He
became one of the most well-known
and influential people in international
baseball. He was inducted into the National Association of Intercollegiate
Athletics Hall of Fame, the Claremont
McKenna College Hall of Fame, the
American Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame and the Dutch and
Italian Baseball Halls of Fame. In
2001, he was awarded the prestigious
Lefty Gomez Award, collegiate baseballs highest honor.
Mr. Arce took great joy in traveling to
Hawaii, Australia and San Francisco to
visit his children and their families. He
loved spending time at the family lake
house in Twain Harte, California, and
he was very proud of the colorful flowers that bloomed in his garden at his
home in Mt. San Antonio Gardens. Bill
was a member of the Bear Valley
Gang, was on the board and a past
president of the American Baseball
Coaches Association and was an elder
at the Claremont Presbyterian Church.
He was preceded in death by his sister Lorraine, who died in 2012. He is
survived by his loving wife of 65 years,
Nancy; his daughter Judy Arce Scott
(David); sons Jim (Pat) and Jeff (Loan);
nine grandchildren, Michael, Douglas,
Owen, Erin, Beth, Paul, Jamie, Caitlyn
and Brianna; and his great-grandchildren, William, Thomas, Christopher and

Oliver.
The family appreciates the professional and thoughtful care of the nurses
and physicians in Bills final days and is
comforted by the outpouring of love
and affection received in his passing.
Personal stories and memories are
posted at and can be shared at
www.forevermissed.com/bill-arcememories.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be
made in Bills honor to the William B.
Arce Scholarship Fund at CMC, 400
N. Claremont Blvd., Claremont, CA
91711, or online at cmc.edu/arcegiftpage, or to the Mt. San Antonio Gardens Scholarship Fund at Mt. San
Antonio Gardens, 900 E. Harrison Ave.,
Pomona, CA 91767.
A memorial service will be held on
Sunday, May 1 at 1 p.m. at McKenna
Auditorium on the Claremont McKenna
College campus, with a reception to follow.

Don C. Force
12
OBITUARIES
Entomologist, professor, writer

Don C. Force died at Mt. San Antonio Gardens on December 3, 2015. He
had been a Claremont resident since
2000, after living in Pomona since
1965.
He was born on July 5, 1928 in Clear
Lake, South Dakota, a small town near
the Minnesota border, the fourth child
of Hazel (Clement) and Clifford Force.
It was the beginning of the Great Depression and his father was able to find
only part-time work as a carpenter. The
windstorms that came through the area
at that time helped the family during his
early years by blowing down barns and
houses so his father could find employment.
In 1936, the family moved to the
small town of Healdsburg, California,
where Don lived until he joined the US
Army in 1947. He never liked school
very much because he stuttered and,
being shy to begin with, was profoundly affected by the problem. But he
liked Healdsburg, where he could ride
his bike around every day when the
weather was good. After school let out
in the afternoon, he worked for his
uncle delivering milk to houses off a
truck. It was kind of a hazardous job
because, in those days, most milk was
contained in glass bottles that would
break if you fell while running the milk
up to the houses. The delivery boys always ran because it was faster than
walking, but many of them got bad
cuts. He learned to play the clarinet
when he was nine or 10, and the only
classes he liked in school were band
and orchestra. Unfortunately, his
mother died suddenly when he was a
senior in high school.
After joining the army, he took basic
and band training at Fort Ord, California. He was later stationed permanently
with the Letterman General Hospital

Concert Band at the Presidio of San
Francisco. A few months before he was
due to be discharged, he decided to see
how far he could walk in one day. His
barracks was located near the approach
to the Golden Gate Bridge, so he got up
one Saturday morning, ate breakfast
and started walking across the bridge.
Ten hours later he arrived in Petaluma
(about 40 miles north of San Francisco), and took a bus the rest of the
way to Healdsburg.
Dr. Force met his future wife,
Frances Jean Johnson, of Hershey, Nebraska, in 1949 when she was a
teenager and visiting her aunt and uncle
in Healdsburg. They were connected
through his sister Betty, who had married Frances uncle Carl Young. Although they didnt take much notice of
each other when they first met, sparks
flew three years later when Dr. Force
helped Betty and Carl relocate to Nebraska. Don and Frances were married
in 1953 at Maria Lutheran Church in

Hershey.
Dr. Force used the GI Bill to enroll in
Santa Rosa Junior College in January
1950. He didnt think he would like
college but found it was better than he
expected, graduating from Fresno State
University in 1954. The same year he
enrolled in UC Davis, got a masters
degree in entomology and took a position as research entomologist with
Stauffer Chemical Company in Mountain View, California, testing chemicals
for their insecticidal activity.
Wanting to continue his education,
he enrolled in UC Berkeley, attained his
PhD in 1963 and took a research position with the US Department of Agriculture in Columbia, Missouri.
Unfortunately, the entire family had serious sinus problems in Missouri, so
after nine months he found a teaching
position in the biological sciences department at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona where he later
served as chairman for seven years.
Dr. Force found he liked teaching but
his real love was research. He and his
family camped frequently while doing
his field research projects. Over the
years he was a member of numerous
scientific societies, obtained several
grants from the National Science Foundation and the US Forest Service and
published 25 papers in various scientific journals or as chapters in books.

After retirement, he published a novel,
the plot of which included chaparral
wildfire, faculty, students and research.
Don was an active member of Good
Shepherd Lutheran Church in Claremont, where he enjoyed playing his
clarinet on various occasions during
services and with the choir. He loved
working with members of the church
on Saturday mornings, assisting with
the maintenance of the church property.
He is preceded in death by his sisters
Betty Young and Miriam Solem and
brother Robert Force. He is survived by
Frances, his wife of 62 years, twin
daughters Jean Bradley (Ron) of
Sanger and Rachel Arciniega of
Pomona, and son Daniel Force (Noel)
of Albuquerque, New Mexico, along
with four granddaughters, Karen Arciniega Steichen, Shelley Carlson, Skye
Bradley and Alexandra Force.
A celebration of life service will be
held at Good Shepherd Lutheran
Church on Thursday, March 31 at 2
p.m. Donations in Dons honor should
be made to Good Shepherd Lutheran
Church, music department, 1700 N.
Towne Ave., Claremont, CA 91711, or
to a charitable organization of your
choice.
Doris Caldwell Rhoades

OBITUARIES
Missionary, world traveler, loving wife

Doris Caldwell Rhoades died on March 19, 2016 at
the age of 97. She was in the presence of loving family
and friends at Pilgrim Place in Claremont, where she
had been a resident since 1992.
She was born in 1918 on the Caldwell Homestead, a
dairy farm in central Pennsylvania, to Frank and Elizabeth Caldwell. Doris was the eldest of four daughters.
Nurtured in the Presbyterian Church, she was early on
inspired to commit her life to serving disenfranchised
people.
After earning a masters degree in social work, she
was called to service in China by the Board of Foreign
Missions of the Presbyterian Church. In 1947, she set
sail to China from San Francisco. Once there she studied Mandarin and went to work in the rural province
of Soochow, but within six months she was liberated
by young soldiers of the Red Army and the Church
Workers Training Center was closed.
In 1951 Ms. Rhoades returned to the United States
where she did graduate study at Cornell University
and became the director of Christian education in the
Presbyterian Church in Dobbs Ferry, New York. Still,
she longed to return to China. When in 1957 she was
asked to work with Chinese refugees in Hong Kong,
her first reaction was, No, I dont want to work in a

colony. As she mulled it over, however, she realized
that those she would be serving wanted to return to
China as badly as she did. She agreed to go for a year
or two, and ended up staying for 26 years.
After retiring in 1984 Ms. Rhoades returned to New
York, where she took a part-time job with the Vocation
Agency of the Presbyterian Church. There in late
1986, after several years of trying to get used to living in the United States, she met Benton Rhoades, director of Agricultural Mission, related to the National
Council of Churches of Christ in the USA. They were
married on January 3, 1988.
She later recalled that, My new family is quite different from my large Hong Kong family, but no less
interesting. At the spry and youthful age of 70, Ms.
Rhoades became the loving and dearly adored
mother to Bentons four children and 10 grandchildren. During their years together at Pilgrim Place they
added to their family 12 great-grandchildren. Doris
was a natural in her various family roles.
She is survived by two of her three sisters, Marge
and Peg, and many adoring nieces and nephews. A
memorial service was held at Pilgrim Places Decker
Hall on March 22.
Memorial contributions can be made in the name of
Doris Rhoades to either: Residents Health and Support Fund (make checks to Pilgrim Place with RHSP
in the memo line), Pilgrim Place, 625 Mayflower Rd.,
Claremont, CA 91711 or to Agricultural Missions Inc.,
475 Riverside Dr. #1505, New York, NY 10115.

John Kevin Bonilla

Loving son, husband, brother, uncle and friend
John Bonilla of Irvine died on January 18, 2016 of complications from
quadriplegia. He was 54.
He was born on June 14, 1961 at Fort
Monroe in Hampton, Virginia. The
youngest of four siblings, John grew up
in Claremont where he was quite active, playing AYSO soccer and competing with the Claremont Club and
Claremont High School tennis teams.
He loved to ski in Mammoth and was
also musically inclined, particularly enjoying playing guitar. He graduated
from CHS in 1979.
Johns life changed in 1982 after an
auto accident that left him paralyzed.

After the accident, he spent several
months at Pomona Valley Hospital and
the Casa Colina and Rancho Los Amigos rehabilitation centers. He returned
home to live with his mother Diane
Bonilla and stepfather Tim for eight
years. He then married Barbara Graner
and they were loving companions for
26 years until his death.
John participated in several rehab
programs at local community colleges
and was active in the Orange County
MADD group, taking part in educational efforts to warn teens about the
dangers of driving under the influence.
He will be remembered for his performance as a clown in the Ringling Bros.
Circus,which was one of his life
goals!
Throughout Johns life he brought
humor, insight and great strength into
his personal challenges. He had a great
love of family and friends and never

met a stranger.
He will be greatly missed by all,
family shared, adding, We love you,
John. Rest in peace.
He was predeceased by his father,
Ken Bonilla, in 2009 and his brother
Richards wife, Lara, in January 2016.
He is survived by his wife Barbara
Graner and his mother Diane DeLory
Bonilla. He also leaves his stepchildren,
Andy and Matthew Graner, his sister
Lynn Traver (Robert), his brothers
Richard and Steve (Gay) and his nieces
and nephews, Jennifer, Jessica and
Nicholas Traver, Tyler and Cameron
Bonilla and Katie, Allison Ali and
Christy Bonilla.
Donations in Johns memory may be
made to your local MADD group. His
ashes will be scattered in Mammoth
Lakes, where he loved to ski, backpack
and camp with his family.

Docent finds her fit, fancy among the fossils
ometimes one is so well

suited to their work that
watching them in action
is to witness grace personified.
Joe DiMaggio, its been said,
was like this; Meryl Streep,
same. Although not on the
world stage, witnessing Carol
Jorden at work is similarly
mesmerizing.
Ms. Jorden, senior docent at the Raymond M. Alf Museum of Paleontology,

has been honing her craft for decades
now at the Claremont institution. Shes
been that way for 30 years, said Kathy
Sanders, Alfs director of outreach.
Her enthusiasm has not waned.
As she led a small group of Cub
Scouts and schoolchildren last week
through a presentation about various
ancient creatures such as anomalocaris
(a genus of anomalocaridid, a family of
animals thought to be closely related to
ancestral arthropods) and dunkleosteus
(a genus of arthrodire placoderm fish
that existed during the late Devonian
period), Ms. Jordens unique ability to
reach young children was apparent.
Her kindly, animated style kept the
childrena notoriously fickle audiencein rapt attention throughout the
25-minute presentation. Its not an easy
feat by any measure, as most parents of
young children would attest.
I cant walk in the Alf without seeing something new, Ms. Jorden said.
I am just so excited about paleontology.
The Basics
WHAT: Family Science Discovery Day
WHEN: Second Saturday each

INFO: Call (909) 624-2798 or

It was her lifelong fascination with

science that led Ms. Jorden to the Alf in
1986. A newly-hired third grade teacher
in Rancho Cucamongas Central
School District, Ms. Jorden was looking around for some interesting things
to go see and discovered the museum.
And I just fell in love with the place,
she said.
A single mom with a young son at
the time, Ms. Jorden soon found herself
drawn to the fledgling museums combination of small-town charm and serious scientific bona fides. And Ive
been here ever since, she added.
Ms. Jordens passion rubbed off on
her third graders, with several of her
charges becoming junior paleontologists through the Alfs after school program. A number of them have moved
on to science, she said of her students.
So, that was really cool.
Watching Ms. Jorden interact with
the children in her group, its clear how
30 years in the classroom helped to

hone her skills as a communicator. She

is engaging and kind while remaining
firm and authoritative. While she admits shes working off a loose script,
she seems natural, and somehow remains charming and spontaneous. At
one point she gathered the group of
nine into a circle near a tyrannosaurus
rex skull and had them lean in close.
He could eat all of you in one bite!
And Ms. Jordens excitement wasnt
reserved for exclusively for the children. Speaking of the Alf, she recounted a long list of changes and accomplishments the museum has seen
over the years.
There have been a number of very
unique scientific discoveries, she said.

Theres the hadrosaur skeleton with
the skin impressions, again, found by
high school students. We just discovered baby Joe, a few years ago, Ms.
Jorden continued, making reference to
the 75 million year-old parasaurolophus
found recently by Alf paleontologists
while on a dig in southern Utah.
The amphycion footprintscommonly called bear doghes downstairs. We have the only known footprints of a giant bear dog.
As she continued to list the museums triumphs and prizes, it was evident that Ms. Jordens knowledge of
and pride for what the Alf has become
are invaluable. She is very protective
and very proud of the museum, said
Ms. Sanders. I am incredibly grateful.
We cant run this place without [docents]. Their importance is immeasurable.
Asked what shes most proud of after
all these years, Ms. Jordens response
was typically earnest.
I guess I am most proud of the fact
that not only am I a lifelong learner,
I am encouraging and enthusing children, she said. You will hear children
at my talks that say, Oh, I was here last
week, when you did this! To a teacher,
theres nothing better.
And while another group of children
began assembling outside in the museum, Ms. Jorden eyed the clock and
said she had better get back to the job
she has loved for 30 years.
Ms. Jorden leads tours on Family
Science Discovery Day the second Saturday of each month from 1 to 4 p.m.,
November through May. Her next tour
is April 9. The Raymond M. Alf Museum of Paleontology is located at 1175
W. Base Line Rd., Claremont. Information is available at alfmuseum.org or by

Guitar playing dad strikes a new beat as entertainment reporter
he COURIER reporting staff has

been enriched by the hiring of a new
writer. Claremonter Mick Rhodes
has taken on the job of covering the bustling
arts and entertainment scene of the city and
its environs, as well as creating the newspapers weekly calendar.
Mr. Rhodes has four kids, one 32 and the
rest13-year-old Grace, 10-year-old Lucy
and 6-year-old Everettconsiderably
younger. Hes been a stay-at-home dad
since 2002 and so its refreshing to get out
of the house and into the office, even on a
part-time basis.
Mr. Rhodes was born in Duarte and graduated from Glendora High School. While
studying journalism at Pasadena City College, he began stringing, covering sports on
a freelance basis for newspapers like the
San Gabriel Valley Tribune and the now-defunct San Fernando Valley edition of the
Los Angeles Times.
Before long, he was hired as a full-time
reporter for the North Tahoe Bonanza. During his two-year stint, he served as business
editor and spot news reporter, covering the
police and fire beats, among others. He
eventually became sports editor.
He next moved to Los Angeles to embark on a career in the entertainment industry. He was CFO of a production company called Tribe which specialized in
music tours by name artists like Madonna
and large-scale events like the Superbowl.
Mr. Rhodes isnt big on name-dropping,
but he cant help talking about one entertainment giant he came across. Johnny Cash

was sick at the time, and only able to offer

a friendly Hi to Mr. Rhodes. Still, he was
awed to have met the Man in Black and his
devoted wife June.
Hes a hero of mine, Mr. Rhodes said.
In fact, since he was a kid, most of his
heroes have been musicians. Mr. Rhoades
got into music as a kid, and remembers
watching Elvis on TV as he embarked on
his 1968 comeback special. He recalled
the female contingent of the audience encircling the King on his intimate set. They
were screaming.
I thought, I can try that, just to get
girls, he said.
At age 10 he picked up the guitar, finding his own way as he coaxed music from
the frets. Hes had callouses on his fingers
ever since.
Mr. Rhodes, who is also a singer/songwriter, serves as frontman of an Americana
music outfit called Mick Rhodes and the
Hard Eight. The group performs all over
California and Nevada and has a standing
date the third Friday of each month at the
Black Watch Pub in Upland. Assuming
youre not racing to file your taxes, you can
catch them next on April 15.
The Upland gig is a quick commute for
Mr. Rhodes, who moved from Venice to the
City of Trees in 2008. His daughter was
about to start first grade and he and his
then-wife wanted to settle somewhere that
was safe and had good schools. Claremont
fit the bill.
Proximity to family also played a part.
Mr. Rhodes mom lives in Pomona and his
cousin is raising his family in Claremont.
The suburban life has been good for his
family; his younger kids are happily ensconced at Condit Elementary and his 13year-old daughter is now at El Roble.
Still, as his young family grew, Mr.
Rhodes discovered that he had his work
cut out for him. Journalism? Production
design? He says both are a cakewalk.
They are super-easy, pleasant and nonstressful compared to being a full-time parent, he insists. Its the toughest job ever
and the best job ever.
Mr. Rhodes only regret is that he does-
nt have more time to spend with his grandkids Catie and Vincent, who are 7 and 3
months old, respectively. After all, he has
his own houseful of kids.
Im unfortunately not as traditional a
grandfather as I would be, he said. I see
them when I can.
Settling into his new job at the local paper has thus far been a blast, Mr. Rhodes
said.
Its a totally familiar world, he said of
the COURIER newsroom. Stepping back
into it is surprisingly easy. Theres a learning curvethings I need to relearnbut
every one is so cool here. I love it.
Claremont is a community full of musicians and artists and the town, as well as
neighboring cities like Pomona, has countless venues. Its tough narrowing down
what to cover in a newspaper that offers a
finite amount of ink.
For Mr. Rhodes, its starting with the
people he knows. And one thing seems to
lead to another.
He was in Pomona, interviewing a friend
who is a Claremont artist and has a show at
the dA gallery. As he left, he ran into his former neighbor. She shared with him that she
has launched a poetry foundation for youths
and that the organization will soon be having an awards ceremony.
Its a story for another week.
Thats how things work in Claremont,
Mr. Rhodes said. Everyone knows each
other. Its the Kevin Bacon game of art.

Jack and Vera Caselles celebrate 50th anniversary
aturday, April 2 will mark the 50th

anniversary of Jack and Vera
Caselles. Both native Californians,
Vera was raised in South Pasadena and
Jack was raised in Glendale. Residents of
Claremont since 1978, they moved to the
City of Trees so that Mr. Caselles could
pursue advanced degrees at the Claremont
Graduate University.
Claremont Presbyterian Church. The Caselleses have

four sons and five grandchildren. Three sons, Marcus,
Brian and Adam, graduated from Claremont High
School, as did Adams wife Lisa Koblik.
Jack is a retired Azusa teacher and is now a local
potter who is often seen at the Village Venture. Vera is
a retired Citrus College librarian and a member of the
League of Women Voters board.
Eventually, they plan to move to Mt. San Antonio
Gardens; but, for now, they are enjoying traveling in
their RV with their travel group and getting to know
the people of Claremont.
The couple will celebrate with friends and family at
Set, ink, print: the art of

bookmaking
Kitty Maryatt, director of the
Scripps College Press, will speak on the
art of bookmaking and lead a tour of
the Scripps College Press on Wednesday, April 13 at 2 p.m. in the Lang Art
Gallery at Scripps College, 1030 Columbia Ave. The lecture and tea, hosted
by the fine arts foundation, is free and
open to the public.
Ms. Maryatt has overseen the press
since 1986, the longest directorship in
the colleges history. A graduate of
Scripps College, Ms. Maryatt has had a
lifelong interest in art and design,
studying calligraphy, bookbinding and
printing in her spare time, earning her
master of fine arts degree from UCLA.
OUR TOWN
Ms. Maryatt will soon retire after 30
years, just as the Press celebrates its
75th anniversary. When the press was
in financial straits, Ms. Maryatt engaged students in an ambitious program
collaboratively printing and binding a
book each semester, to be sold in limited edition as a way to boost the visibility of the press. Many are now in the
collections of prestigious institutions.
Ms. Maryatt admires the publications
her students have produced for various
reasonssome because of how well
the class worked together, some because of the content, and one of historical significance that used a typeface
based on Gutenbergs, which disap-

Talk delves into the

presidential election,
two-party system
The Democratic Club of Claremont
will hold its monthly meeting on Monday, March 28 with speaker Ward
McAfee, a retired professor of history,
who will talk on American Presidential Politics and the Two-Party System.
Mr. McAfee spent his career teaching American history at California State
University, San Bernardino, with political history as his primary focus.
He has written books on the coming
of the U.S.-Mexican War, the coming

of the American Civil War and the Reconstruction. At his talk Monday, Mr.
McAfee will review general information about American politics, the formation of political parties, changes over
the years as well as leading personalities.
Mr. McAfee notes that although our
current political era is certainly
strained, so were the 1790s, the 1850s
and the 1930s. While no expert on
Donald Trump, he promises to not ignore the elephant in the room.
The meeting will be held at the
Napier Center on the Pilgrim Place
campus at 7 p.m. Following Mr.
McAfees presentation and discussion,
there will be a short business meeting
for club members. Everyone is invited
to the talk.

CHS track gets fast start with blistering times
laremont High School

track and field is off to
a strong start, highlighted by a double victory
over Ayala Tuesday, including
a good showing at California
Relays over the weekend.
At the California Relays held at Cerritos College, CHS set blistering fast
times. The girls and boys almost swept
all distance relaysgirls and boys both
won the 4 x 1600 and the 4 x 800 relays,
and the girls won the distance medley
relay, while the boys came second in
that event.
The distance teams are now getting
national recognition. The girlsAnnie
Boos, Tess Rounds, Jax Heckers and
Janelle Baeskensare ranked first in the
state and fifth in the nation for the 4 x
1600 relay. The boysRyan Renken,
Owen Bishop, Sergio Espinoza and Tab
Backmanare second in the state and
fourth in the nation at that distance. For
the 4 x 800, the girls, Boos, Rounds,
Sarah Ayala, and Frances OLeary are

currently seventh in the state and 35th in
the nation. The boysTom Engelbert,
Espinoza, Renken and Bishopare
fourth in state and 15th in the nation.
At CHS on Tuesday, the Pack continued to dominate, sweeping several
events on their way to defeating the
Bulldogs 82-54 for the boys and 75-61
for the girls.
The biggest news of the day was
Boos, who set a school record at 5:04 in
the 1600-meter race. She seems unstoppable, running a full seven seconds
faster than her time at the Claremont
four-way meet two weeks ago. Only a
junior, she has the rest of this season and
all of next year to get faster and undoubtedly better her own record. Boos
also won the 800-meter event with a
time of 2:20.
Junior Duy-Tran Sampson had a big
day winning the 100 and 200-meter
races. He also helped Claremont win the
4 x 100 relay, with Ira Clark, Damien
Cannon and Thomas Beck as well as the
4 x 400 with Espinoza, Beck and Bishop.
Big sweeps for CHS included the

boys 800-meter event with Bishop on
top, followed close on his heels by Espinoza, Englebert and Max McGuire.
Alexa Tisopulos won the girls 100-meter
hurdles with three more Claremont runners, Olivia Thomas, Lyling Irwin and
Camile Morken, finishing the top four
spots.
Girls first place finishes include
RayYana Davidson, triple jump; Natalia
Lopez, Kylie Robinson, Alyssa Cantrell
and Kyla Morris, 4 x 400-meter relay;
Morgan Hughes, Maddy Chapman,
Genna Rogers and Daniela Lemus 4 x
100 relay; Cantrell 300-meter hurdles;
Robinson, 400-meters and 200-meters;
Lopez, 100-meters.
Boys first place finishes include
Bryan Brown, triple jump and long
jump; Misak Maranon Davis, pole vault;
Renken, 1600-meters; Beck, 400 meters.
I think our team in general will do
well. Our sprinters went just as far as our
distance runners last year, said Coach
Veronica Amarasekara, referring to the
CIF finals last year.
Coach Amarasekara, who has been

head coach of the boys program for
years, has just taken over leading the
girls as well.
Duy is outstanding, she said of
Tran-Sampson. He is a 100 through
400 sprinter as well running relays.
What people may not know he is also a
mighty fine long jumper and a pole
vaulter. I would expect to see him doing
decathlon real soon.
Two weeks ago, the Pack hosted its
annual friendly quad meet that includes
Claremonts rivals Damien and St.
Lucys.
We won on both sides. We beat
Damien by two points, she said. That
meet has always been about friendship
and good sportsmanship and we have
been fortunate to have our rivals in the
meet.
From here, the Wolfpack will compete in the Covina Qualifiers this weekend, with the national meet at Arcadia
coming in two weeks.
CHS WEEKLY ROUNDUP

BOYS VOLLEYBALL
The boys continue to struggle a bit
with a young team as they lost to Burroughs 3-0 (25-14, 25-10, 25-18) at
home on Wednesday. The Pack is now
0-3 in league and 3-12 overall.
BOYS TENNIS
CHS beat Glendora in their league
opener, 14-4, last week. Senior Andrew

number one singles, going 3-0 on the
day. Doubles were also undefeated in the
match including number one seed, freshman Jason Weisman and junior Hunter
Bojalad, and number two, senior Eric
Davis and junior Harrison Bojalad, according to Coach Kathy Settles.
On Monday, the boys upset Palomares

League defending champions Diamond
Bar, 11-7, at home. Solid performances
by all three doubles teams brought in 6
of the 11 points.
BASEBALL
Claremont narrowly lost their second
conference game of the season at Diamond Bar, 3-2, on Wednesday. The Pack
had six hits including a triple by Jake
Gentry. Sophomore Jack Noble pitched
four innings, giving up two hits and all

walking three. Reliever junior Tyler

THAT AREA DESIGNATED IN THE CONDOMINIUM PLAN REFERRED TO IN PARCEL 1 AS (19P). The property heretofore
described is being sold as is. The street address and other common designation, if any, of
the real property described above is purported to
be: 2000 SILVERHAWK DR 2UNIT 19, DIAMOND BAR, CA 91765- The undersigned
Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be
made without covenant or warranty, express or

implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of
the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with
interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of
Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of
the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed
of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance
of the obligations secured by the property to be
sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses
and advances at the time of the initial publication
of this Notice of Trustees Sale is estimated to
be $299,942.24 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances
will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiarys bid at said sale may include all or part of
said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will
accept a cashiers check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal
credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102
of the California Financial Code and authorized
to do business in California, or other such funds
as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event
tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee
may withhold the issuance of the Trustees Deed
Upon Sale until funds become available to the
payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on
account by the property receiver, if applicable. If
the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidders sole and exclusive
remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the
Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no
further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If
you are considering bidding on this property
lien, you should understand that there are risks
involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You
will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction
does not automatically entitle you to free and
clear ownership of the property. You should also
be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be
a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the
auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned
off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens
that may exist on this property by contacting the
county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for
this information. If you consult either of these
resources, you should be aware that the same
Lender may hold more than one mortgage or
Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property
Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of
Sale may be postponed one or more times by the
Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil
Code. The law requires that information about
Trustee Sale postponements be made available
to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those
not present at the sale. If you wish to learn
whether your sale date has been postponed, and,
if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for
the sale of this property, you may call In Source

postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Date: March 2, 2016 MTC Financial

California, County of Los Angeles.
THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that
MARIA SAAVEDRA 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:
Date: April 12, 2016 Time: 8:30 A.M. in Dept. 5
Room: located at:
Superior Court Of California,
County Of Los Angeles,
111 North Hill Street
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.
