Rounds Premium Burgers Claremont location is the third for the southern California eatery, which allows patrons to custom-build their own burger. Co-owner George Ghaby, who owns 2 Rounds locations with his brother Charbel, said he likes the concept of custom burgers because he is a picky eater himself. Rounds joins The Back Abbey, Eureka and Boca Burger as Claremont becomes somewhat of a burger haven.

m surprised the post office didnt kill Saturday delivery sooner. Theyre broke. Even though they have been hemorrhaging money for the past several years, they needed permission from Congress to make any significant change, and you know what that meansnothing gets done. We knew it was coming, remain committed to delivering our newspaper through the mail, and have been planning for months to change to a weekly Friday COURIER starting on Friday, March 1. As owner and publisher, Im so excited about this change, we are throwing a community party on Thursday, March 7 with the Claremont Chamber of Commerce. Our attitude was simple. We were not going to wait for USPS to figure out when and how to cut services. Thats why the COURIER staff reviewed every option to sustain a healthy community newspaper, while keeping the high content standards our readers and advertisers expect. And did we ever come up with a plan! As mentioned, beginning March 1 the COURIER will be delivered by the post office to your mailbox every Friday. The paper will be noticeably thicker, as we add pages and color to accommodate a weeks worth of news. We will invest in cleaner, whiter newsprint to make the photography pop, the advertising sing and the text easier to read. We are not stopping there. Parts of the newspaper will be redesigned to help guide readers through a larger edition. The calendar will be reworked with new features (this includes a new nightlife column) and more photography. Remember Back Page? Claremonters like gossip, and we are bringing back this ever-popular column. And theres more to come.

ently, according to Detective Robert Ewing. He could not remember anything other than the fact that he was at The Colleges. Because of his injuries, the student was airlifted to USC Medical Center for treatment. While students have reported that a man in a black hood had attacked the victim, police have no evidence to support these claims. Campus Safety is reviewing surveillance footage in hopes of finding out the true story. **** Church did not prove to be a sanctuary for a 15-year-old male hiding from police. The juvenile proved an easy find in a couple of games of hide and seek Saturday morning. While hiding out in some bushes on the side of a residence in the 1600 block of Rutgers Court, it soon became apparent he chose the wrong patch of foliage. His hiding place was located in front of a side window in plain view of the 86-year-old resident. When the resident approached the teen, suspecting him of attempting to break into his home, the juvenile took off. Police set up a perimeter and eventually located the boy hiding in another set of bushes, this time in front of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church. He was not successful in getting away this time. He was arrested for prowling and resisting officers. Sunday, February 3 Police were called to Hotel Claremont, 840 S. Indian Hill Blvd., Sunday morning regarding a TV stolen from a room. Employees reported that the crook had entered the room through a hotel room window. However, there was more to the story. The hotel room window had been previously broken, and instead of being repaired, the hole had simply been covered with a piece of cardboard and tape, according to Det. Ewing. Investigation continues.

their time crossing College Avenue, thanks to an unknown vandal. College Avenue commuters awoke Monday morning to find a makeshift crosswalk drawn across the roadway in white spray paint with the word (s)troll beckoning pedestrians across. Campus safety officers blocked each side of the walkway to discourage pedestrians from using the fake crosswalk. The vandals may be feeling smug about the prank, but the last laugh may be on them. Police have found the white spray paint can and will be dusting it for prints. **** Riding a bicycle through Claremont brings me tranquility, said a 30-yearold Pomona resident to police after being caught in a series of thefts around 1:15 a.m. on Monday. Police did not buy the sob story. Daniel Ortiz had been spotted by a witness stealing items from unlocked cars in the 600 block of Scottsbluff Drive. When police caught up with him, Mr. Ortiz had so many stolen items piled up on his handlebars that he could barely keep his bicycle upright as he peddled, according to Det. Ewing. Police
helped relieve him of the problem. He was arrested for petty theft and possession of stolen property and the stolen property was returned to the rightful owners. Tuesday, February 5 A woman staying at Howard Johnson Express Inn, 721 S. Indian Hill, returned to her hotel room around 2 a.m. Tuesday to an unwelcome surprise: a man fast asleep on her bed with 2 rounds of ammunition next to him. The woman admitted to police that she had lent her room to a female friend earlier in the day. The man refused to identify himself, but his tattoos did the talking for him. Police were able to identify him, based on his ink, as a parolee at large wanted for assault with a deadly weapon. He was also in possession of stolen property and a meth pipe. Thirty-three-year-old Oscar Castanon of Pomona was arrested for the warrant, for giving false information to a police officer and for the drug paraphernalia.

Carnivores rejoice in Claremonts burger boom
heres a retail trend hitting Claremont and it comes on a bun with a side of fries. High-end burgers are taking over the Claremont food scene but as far as one can tell, no ones taste buds are complaining. As other local food establishments fold, in Claremont the burger reigns supreme.
Bacon-infused jalapeno jam, caramelized onions and melted aged Gouda arent the makings of your typical fast food burger. But then, there isnt anything standard about the Claremont burger boom. From north to south and brioche bun to butter roll, this city has the fixings and the foodies appreciate it. Claremont is just a very special place, whether burger or any cuisine, said John Solana, owner of The Back Abbey restaurant. We have people that are educated in food. They are well-traveled and appreciate good wine and good drink. I think businesses are seeing that and taking the chance. The Back Abbey, a small, unassuming gastropub, is on Claremonters radar for its delicious meat, cheese and bun creations, which start at $11. I love the laid-back atmosphere, the beer selection and the quality of the burgers, said Tricia Frost, who has visited the joint more times than she can count. All of the ingredients are so fresh and the meat is high-quality. It has everything I want on a burgercaramelized onion, the aioli....[The Back Abbey] is definitely my go-to restaurant in Claremont. Mr. Solana, who admittedly eats an InN-Out burger with his daughters at least once a week, wanted to up the stakes in creating his own burgers for Claremont crowds. The Back Abbeys burgers showcase fancier ingredients than are found on your typical burger, like aged Gouda and cranberry-apple chutney. We wanted high-quality cheese and unique profiles, Mr. Solana said. And they take the time to develop those profiles. Preparing the fresh ingredients begins at 6 or 6:30 a.m. Caramelizing the onions for the burgers alone takes 4 hours, he says. We just want to do the burger right, Mr. Solana said. And it just so happened that it is a huge craze in Claremont. While The Back Abbey is the pioneer of Claremonts movement, continually boasting a packed crowd during meal times, Eureka Burger has taken the same specialized concept and run with it. Eureka Burger opened in spring 2011, and this eatery is further proof that the local gourmet burger scene is alive and well.
COURIER photos/Steven Felschundneff The burgers at one of Claremonts most recent burger restaurant offerings, Rounds, can be custom-made by each patron including bread, meat, cheese and a variety of toppings.
Server Delaine Dunne clears a table on the porch of the Eureka Burger on Wednesday in Claremont. The large outside dinning area is a big draw for Eureka, particularly during the hot months.
On Fridays and Saturdays, groups of eager customers can be seen gathered outside the burger joints doorstep in the Claremont Packing House, waiting for a bite of the action to the tune of 2- to 2-anda-half hour waiting times, according to Assistant Manager Randi Wuhl. Regular Laura Whithorn, enjoying a late lunch with daughter Rebecca on Wednesday afternoon, remembers when the burger place first opened and had hardly any wait time for lunch. Though the lunch hour can now feature a packed crowd, she insists its worth the wait. The succulent selections are what keep the Whithorns coming back. We like the quality and the variety, Ms. Whithorn said, mentioning her pleasure in the variety of sauces, which include fig and jalapeno-bacon, as well as the unique cheeses. Its not your typical cheeseburger. Burgers at Eurekaranging in price from $9.50 to $14.95switch up the status quo with fresh, handcrafted add-ons like pineapple-jalapeo relish, beer barbecue sauce and pickled zucchini. Its also the only spot in town you can get a bison burger. Paying homage to the craft food and beer movement is a welcome duty of the local burger outlet. We dont want the cookie-cutter, Ms. Wuhl said, something she says the customers appreciate. We take pride in serving great quality food in a fun atmosphere. Introducing Claremont residents to outof-the-ordinary food items is also a point of honor for Mirian Ruiz, co-owner of Claremonts Boca Burger, who serves up an Argentinian twist to the American favorite. Dont be fooled by the name of the Foothill Boulevard burger place. Boca Burger is not named for the meatless substitute, but for the Argentinian soccer team Boca Juniors. Ms. Ruizs culinary creations include 100-percent Angus beef patties made fresh daily by Ms. Ruiz and crew beginning at 6 a.m. To give each burger the taste of Argentina they are known for, Ms. Ruiz mixes each patty with a special chimichurri blend, a mix of minced tomatoes, garlic, onion, roasted peppers and lime juice in a savory sauce. Mr. and Ms. Ruiz have long been a part of the Claremont food revolution, though Boca Burger didnt open until last summer. The Ruizes have shared their talent in the kitchen with Claremont students for years, which began with a catering business that travels to schools throughout the Claremont Unified School District. With the opportunity to set up a home base for their business in the Old School House complex, a cafe featuring burgers was at the top of Ms. Ruizs list. Theres a universal language that comes with burgers, Ms. Ruiz said. Its the American comfort food.

The petition for Embracing the Whole Child Academy, proposed by Lynette Lucas, will be reviewed at a public hearing at the May 17, 2013 gathering of the school board. Along with applause for the new student reps, kudos were extended to Sumner student Axel Garcia, whose Toys for Tots cam- CUSD paign this past holiday sea- BOARD son netted enough toys to brighten Christmas for 200 local families.

It was a great location, right off the freeway. It suited us well, Mr. Ghaby said. He adds that he and his brother were also eager to contribute a different facet to the Claremont burger craze. We want to provide premium food at reasonable prices, he said of his burgers, priced starting at $4.95 with toppings ranging from $0.75 to $1. In this economy, thats what people are looking for. Quality food and taste at more affordable prices. The south Claremont store marks the second Rounds site opened up by the Ghabys, the first located in West Hollywood. A self-proclaimed hamburger lover and picky eater, Mr. Ghaby got into the burger business because he was tired of the limited options when it came to his favorite ground round. I hated that all you could get were the standard mustard and ketchup, he explained.
in educating and building self-esteem in local kids. Much of the meeting was taken up with real estate concerns, with Rick Cota, executive director of the CUSD Service Center, delivering a proposal for the Service Centers potential future relocation. At the January 17 gathering of the schoolboard, the Surplus Properties Advisory Committee, better known as the 7-11 Committee, recommended that 2 CUSD properties be declared as surplus. The recommendation to sell the shortlived La Puerta middle school at 2475 N. Forbes Avenue hasnt occasioned much discussion because, aside from being used for a while for adult school classes, the property has been deserted for years.
Declaring surplus the site on which the current Service Center is located, however, has raised concerns and questions among school board members, most notably Steven Llanusa. Mr. Llanusa feels declaring the property surplus before plans have been made to relocate Service Center operations is premature. Whats more, he urges the school board not to embrace any proposals for a new Service Center site without first thinking the matter over thoroughly, citing 2 earlier promising proposals that never panned out. Mr. Cota acknowledged Mr. Llanusas concerns but said he felt that his proposal, which centered around relocating

While specializing in the American classic, Boca burgers also serves breakfast and a variety of other lunch and dinner items including sausage sandwiches, empanadas, pasta and chili cheese fries. The Ruizes continue to cater to the schools, and to the general public, while also running an eatery they, and the students they serve, can call their own. Claremont High School freshmen Ernest Smith, Ayinde Cole and Mato Pacheco make the trek to Boca Burger every day after school, enjoying a bite before heading back for junior varsity soccer practice. The people here are really nice, Ayinde said. And the food is good, added Mato. His favorite is the classic Boca Hamburger with only lettuce and a bun, at just $3.39. On the other side of town, George Ghaby and brother Charbel Ghaby have become the latest to join in on Claremonts burger boom with the launch of Rounds Premium Burgers last month.

COURIER photos/Steven Felschundneff The Back Abbey Burger is the signature offering at The Back Abbey in the Village. Its made with dry-aged ground beef, aged Gouda, mustard aioli, caramelized onion, Niman Ranch bacon and micro-greens served on a Brioche bun.
At Rounds, guests are able to build their own burger, opting for the standard ketchup and mustard or expanding to create a beef, veggie or chicken or turkey burger laden with thousand island, garlic or chipotle aioli, pesto mayo or Tabasco ketchup, among others. Premium toppings include crispy onion strings, green chile peppers, sauted mushrooms and grilled pineapple. Guests simply check boxes on a piece of paper. We offer a ton of choices without getting complicated, Mr. Ghaby said. For first-time customers, Mr. Ghaby recommends going with the classic cheeseburger, allowing the taste of the buttery brioche bun, baked fresh daily, to take over. When asked to describe the bun, one word comes to mind: Butter, he said. Burger aficionados Rafael Minero and his mother Trina Minero stopped by Rounds for the first time last week, intrigued with the build-your-own concept. Ms. Minero opted for a basic grilled cheeseburger with a splash of thousand island while Rafael prepared to feast on a creation topped with sliced avocado and rings of sauted onion. We like the choice and the convenience, Mr. Minero said. It was something different. The variety and uniqueness of each
burger creationbison burger or vegetarian patty, served plain or piled high with toppingsis precisely what keeps the burger revolution alive in Claremont, Mr. Solana said. No matter if you bring another place that serves burgers into town, any more options in food choices for any town, including Claremont, is just going to make us better, Mr. Solana said. There is a market for everybody.

Ahh, those funny times

by Jan Wheatcroft
DONT COUNT YOUR CHICKENS....
was in Sweden staying with my Swedish friends, Susanna and Christer. They were planning to move and were looking for a house in the country and were juggling their finances to see what they could afford to buy.
One day, we had an outing to a small village called Trosa. I was feeling lucky that day and when we went into a little shop I decided to buy some lottery tickets, something I never do. But when the feeling says, Todays the day of luck, I listen. So I bought 2 lottery cards for 10 SK (Swedish Kroner=$1.75) and one for 30 SK (=$5). We went to a cafe for a coffee, where I scratched off my tickets. I enjoyed playing the bingo games and, at the end, I saw that I had correctly matched on the 25,000 SK line. I made them read the card over and over and we figured that I had actually won. That was $4000. I couldnt believe it at first but as it set in that I had actually won, I began to spend the money. As we drank our coffees and nibbled on our buns, I gave Susanna and Christer $2000 to add to their house fund. Then we discussed what to do with the rest; spend it, save it or give it away to charity. We went over and over both options examining the ticket for tricks or flaws and juggling the money and what to do with it. I found myself totally carried away and excited. It was a high moment. Finally, we went back to the shop completely assured of being a winner. This was the big moment and I could visualize the man handing me a load of cash. I won, I said, and the man took the ticket. He said, Yes, 30 SK. ($5) What? shouted Susanna, not 30 SK, but 25,000 SK? The shopkeeper said No. It is only 30 SK, as you got only one line and that is the rule. I felt all the air sucked out of me. I had already spent all of the money and even had a small piece of a home yet unbought. We laughed until we wept all the way home. After all, a good laugh is worth a lot. HIDDEN VOICES I live in a very small duplex. A small house equals close quarters. The smoke alarm was mounted in the hall slap dab next to the kitchen. Whenever I cooked anything the smoke alarm would go off and, as I love to cook, it seemed to need to work overtime. Even my neighbor would come over ready to help put out the numerous fires which were really nothing more than steam. So I pulled out the batteries and left it like that: peaceful, quiet and non-protecting. When I was traveling last summer, my landlady had a new smoke alarm put in, one that protects against smoke and CO2 poisoning.
A few months ago, I was quietly sitting in my living room, next to the hallway that brings all of the rooms together, when a voice shouted, Evacuate! Evacuate! I leapt out of my chair and out of my body as well, wondering who had entered my house and was telling me to get out. Horns blew, voices shouted and I finally realized it was my smoke alarm complete with a demanding person inside. Of course, I felt rather foolish but then I forgot about it. A month later, my sister came to visit and the same thing happened again: the voice shouting Evacuate! Evacuate! The bells and whistles scared my sister and made me roll with laughter as I explained about the alarm situation. After the third such visitation where no cooking was involved, I removed said alarm from hallway and put it on a top shelf in the living room. My Swedish friends came for a visit in December. The alarm decided to entertain us and shouted its evacuate orders and performed with its musical interlude. I threw it into the unused fireplace and it repeated itself several times. It was now not serving any purpose other that to annoy. On the day the electrician came to give me an estimate on some electrical work, I had placed the alarm in a basket on the front porch, hoping its position would bring silence. As the electrician walked up my steps, the alarm spoke. Evacuate! Evacuate! ring, ring, bing, pling. He jumped back and looked around as I opened the door. That did it. He removed the batteries, thus silencing the little gremlin forever. Yes, I have a new one, mounted in the living room. This one has better manners and is well-behaved, so far.
I can hardly wait till we are grown-up players and can cut all our hair off and grow big beards.
Claremont wont be bullied by Golden State Water Company

Dear Editor: Recently, Golden State Water Company escalated its efforts to wage a deceptive and misleading campaign against Claremont and its residents. The city of Claremont will not sit quietly by and allow Golden States attacks to go without a response. These baseless attacks are designed to confuse and intimidate the ratepayers in Claremont. This week, Golden State sent a campaign mail piece to Claremont residents wrongly claiming they are working to protect private property rights and that the city is secretly working to grab the water system in Claremont. The fact remains that Golden State is working tirelessly to protect its water monopoly in Claremont. As correctly reported in this and every media outlet in the area, the city has made an offer to purchase the Claremont water system, and with good reason. Golden State is charging our residents some of the highest water rates in California and are seeking approval to raise our rates another 24.54 percent in 2013. The vast majority of Californians receive their water from a municipal or other public agency provider. However, since Golden State is a profit-motivated investor-owned utility, the citys residents are not entitled to a transparent and accountable process, where water rates are established locally and in compliance with the States open meeting laws. Golden State has hired lobbyists, lawyers, former Claremont McKenna College employees and others to make biased and misleading statements on the companys behalf. Indeed, Golden State and its allies have gone as far as to compare our offer to pur-
READERS COMMENTS
chase the water system with the stealing of homes and churches in Claremont. Their attacks are shameful. Golden State wants to keep its monopoly and to control the future of the water system in Claremont. As mayor, I will not sit idly by while a for-profit company plays politics with one of lifes most precious resources, our water. The city council and I will continue to work on behalf of Claremont residents to ensure that our community has a voice when it comes to our water system. As many of you have told us, Claremont ratepayers have taken a backseat to Golden State Water for far too long.

Not a unique error

Dear Editor: As much as I love the stories of Marilee Scaff and Monique Saigal, I am (not for the first time) disturbed by editorial mis-use of the word unique. While Marilee and Monique have unusual and extraordinary life stories, they are not unique womenevery woman, every person, is unique. The word means one of a kind. English teachers never die Pedantically yours,

Presenting both sides

Dear Editor: Wanted to publicly thank Scripps College for hosting Charles Krauthammer Thursday evening at the Garrison Theater. Ive always believed that a colleges job is to teach students to think independently and to present both sides of an issue so they (the students) are able to make informed decisions. With the heavy concentration of liberal professors in most colleges; in many instances, they present only one-side while diminishing the other. The students and adults were polite and excited to have a guest as special as Charles. Thank you!

Daniel Martnez
On Friday, January 25, 2013, nearly 20 years after his first diagnosis, Daniel Martnez lost his battle with prostate cancer. He was 84. Mr. Martnez was born November 20, 1928 in Claremont to Daniel Fernndez Martnez and Nieves Guadalupe Miranda Martnez, who came to the United States from Mexico as youngsters. The third of 10 children, he began his education in a segregated school in Ontario, California. As a child, he sang and danced professionally with his brothers and sisters, performing folklricos with the Padua Hills Players. In Mr. Martnez teen years, his father became ill, so he went to work to help support the family. Each year, he and his siblings traveled across California following the harvest as migrants, often missing weeks of school. Despite this, Mr. Martnez excelled academically, and lettered in track and field at Claremont High School. With a scholarship from a local philanthropist, Mr. Martnez attended Chaffey College, UCLA and UC Santa Barbara, earning a bachelors degree in history. He went on to Claremont Graduate University, where he earned a masters degree and a teaching credential. His 1958 masters thesis on the Bracero Program has been widely studied and in 2009 was recognized as part of the Smithsonian Insti-

dent John F. Kennedys NDEA Sputnik teachers workshops at the University of Kansas in 1961. Mr. Martnez married his sweetheart, Barbara Dawrs, a Pomona College graduate, in 1955. With a shared love of learning and commitment to service, Mr. and Mrs. Martnez traveled extensively, including a 1985 sabbatical in Madrid, Spain. As active members of Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church, the Arrowhead Arts Council, the Democratic Party and other groups, the Martnez family shared their gifts and talents across the community. Mr. Martnez was a multi-talented individual. He was an accomplished artista gifted photographer, painter and wood carver whose work is part of private and public collections. He was also a dedicated husband and a loving father, grandfather, uncle, cousin and friend. He leaves a legacy of countless students, colleagues and friends whose lives were touched by his larger-than-life spirit, his zest for learning and his joyful approach to each day, always accompanied by a song, family shared. As a child, Mr. Martnez suffered from Bells Palsy, with a resulting facial paralysis that left him with his signature crooked smile. Having been different as a child, he had a special appreciation for kids who had trouble fitting in, and was always a champion of those who struggle to overcome lifes obstacles. He was preceded in death by his parents and by his younger sisters, Pascualita Martnez and Christina Gonzalez Perez. Mr. Martnez is survived by his wife Barbara, better known as Bobbie; by his children, Elizabeth, Lee Anne, Michele, Daniel (Lissa), Rene and Paul (Lisa); by his grandchildren, Mariam Mimi and Isabel Diawara, Javier Martnez, and Cara and Mia Martnez; by his siblings, Eusevia Cheva Garca, Gene Queo (Dolores), Isabel (Joe) Alba, Patrocinio (Beth Ann), Veronica Lupita Bone (Gordon) Curtis, Marciano (Mercedes) and Richard Martnez. He also leaves 45 nieces and nephews and their families and numerous cousins, including his good friend and cousin, Dr. Peter Armendrez, a nuclear physicist who inspired Mr. Martnez in his passion for higher education. A memorial service will be held Saturday, February 9 at 11 a.m. at Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church, 27627 Rim of the World Dr. in Lake Arrowhead. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Rim of the World Community Scholarship Council, PO Box 1816, Blue Jay, CA 92317. Checks should be noted In memory of Daniel Martnez.

Frances Bray
Missionary, librarian, Pilgrim
Frances Bray, a longtime Pilgrim Place resident, died on January 23, 2013. She was 97. Mrs. Bray was born Frances Norine Hutchison on December 13, 1915 in Haverstraw, New York. Her father was a theological student and went on to serve as a Methodist minister. She had 3 siblings, an older brother Clyde Jr., a younger brother Dwight and a younger sister Betty Lou. The family moved about central Ohio in Mrs. Brays youth. In her senior year of high school, she won a chemistry scholarship for $60, which helped pay for her first year at Ohio State University, from which she graduated cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa in September of 1936. She then entered Oberlin Graduate School of Theology, and in 1937 earned a masters degree in religious education. Her masters thesis was on the need for more womens emphasis and female role models in the Sunday school curriculum for high school girls. In 1939, Mrs. Bray attended the First World Christian Youth Conference in Amsterdam, Holland. During this trip, she cycled in England and Europe, returning to the United States just 2 days before World War II was declared. In 1942, she graduated from Western Reserve University with a degree in library science and began work as the librarian of the National Training School for Christian Workers in Kansas City, Missouri. During this time, she received a local pastors license at the Grand Avenue Temple Methodist Church. reer and life dedicated to service in Japan. While Mr. Bray taught theology at Kwansei Gakuin University, Mrs. Bray taught English Bible classes, gave chapel talks and taught English at Seiwa College, all while raising their 3 children. Together, they started 2 churches that are thriving today. The Brays are remembered to this day by their many Japanese students and friends, as teachers and as friends who always opened their home to others. Among other activities, they served as foster parents for several young Japanese children in the process of being adopted by American families. Mrs. Bray returned to her first love, library work, when the Kwansei Gakuin University library needed assistance in publishing a catalog of their English titles. The university quickly realized she had valuable skills and enlisted her to do research on the founder of the university, Bishop Walter Lambuth. Her extensive research entailed visiting China and many archives in the United States, culminating in her presentation of the Founders Day Lecture on the occasion of the 90th anniversary celebration of the university. In 1980, Mr. and Mrs. Bray retired from their work in Japan and returned to the family home in Medford, Oregon. In 1982, they moved to Claremont and became Pilgrims at Pilgrim Place. During their retirement, they often traveled back to Japan and to other places around the world, visiting friends they made over
OBITUARIES
the years. In 2005, Kwansei Gakuin invited Mrs. Bray back to Japan to give a talk at the 150th anniversary of the founder Bishop Lambuth. The Brays loved living at Pilgrim Place, making new friends and maintaining relationships developed over years in Japan. Mrs. Bray enjoyed participating in the annual Pilgrim Festival, volunteering for years with the other aficionados of stamp collecting, one of her favorite hobbies. Mrs. Bray was passionate about communicating and reaching out to friends. When email became available, she switched from pen and paper to computer with ease.She learned all the tricks of looking up people and took great delight in finding long-lost friends and resuming contact. She was also reputedly one of the oldest active Facebook participants. Mrs. Bray is survived by her son, Jim, of Santa Rosa, California; by her daughter, Maggie, of Albany, Oregon; by her son, Tom, of Wickenburg, Arizona; by 6 grandchildren and by 9 great-grandchildren. A memorial service in Mrs. Brays honor will be held on February 10, 2013 at 3:30 p.m. in Decker Hall at Pilgrim Place, located at 625 Mayflower Road in Claremont. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Frances Brays name to the Pilgrim Place Residents Health and Support Program (RHSP) fund, 625 Mayflower Rd., Claremont, CA 91711.
Through a mutual friend, she was introduced to William Davenport Bray, who was in training to be an Army chaplain. After a short courtship, they were married in Kansas City. When asked by his future wife how he could be so sure she was the right one in such a short time, Mr. Bray responded, You only have to see Crater Lake once to know you like it. Thus began a relationship and partnership that lasted 59 years. The couple had a brief honeymoon at the Oregon Annual Conference before Mr. Bray was deployed to Saipan and Iwo Jima for 22 months. When he returned, they moved to St. Helens, Oregon, where he was appointed minister. In 1952, the Brays volunteered to be missionaries with the Methodist Church and sailed for Japan, launching a 28-year ca-
Roy Anderson
Engineer, innovator, veteran
Roy Irvin Anderson, a longtime Claremont resident, died Friday, January 11, 2013 in La Mesa, California. His wife of 65 years, Virginia, preceded him by only 6 weeks. Mr. Anderson was born March 12, 1922 in Kenosha, Wisconsin to Irvin and Minnie Anderson, the oldest of 3 sons. Coming from humble roots, he worked his way through college and in 1944, earned a degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Later that year, he enlisted in the Army Air Force and became an aerial engineer serving in Europe. On January 3, 1948, Mr. Anderson married Virginia Worthington Anderson, who he had met in college. Their 65-year marriage was a testament to their love and devotion for each other, family shared. After the war, and with the help of the GI Bill, Mr. Anderson earned a masters degree in engineering from Northwestern University. Following graduate school, Mr. Anderson was hired by Du Pont InMr. Anderson was determined to see the world. In 1962, the Andersons walked away from job and home, and embarked on a yearlong global adventure with their 3 young children. Their travels included 7 months in the Indian Ocean island Republic of the Seychelles. Throughout their marriage, the couple visited more than 50 countries. Returning from their year abroad in 1963, the Andersons landed in California, where they took up residence. Mr. Anderson became plant manager of Plastron, a small plastics company he would one day co-own. In 1974, Mr. Anderson, along with his business partner Richard Lauer, purchased Plastron from Cutter Laboratories in one of the first leveraged buyouts. Plastron became the worlds foremost independent supplier of medical tubing, and Mr. Andersons engineering skill helped establish several other companies. His work included innovations in outdoor furniture as well as plumbing. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson lived in Clare-

Sample ballots available for March 5 election

the Service Center to the San Antonio High School campus, is a good start in launching a much-needed conversation about the move. avid Nemer expressed concerns during a following public comment period that placing a service center at San Antonio High School would jeopardize students well-being by taking away beneficial green space. Board member Hilary LaConte agreed, noting that the school has only recently benefited from the removal of some portable classrooms that she felt marred the San Antonio landscape. Mr. Cota said he was quite open to the possibility of the Service Center being relocated elsewhere. He emphasized, however, that the new Service Center he is suggesting will be significantly smaller, perhaps 6000 or 7000 square feet along with several large storage containers. At the current Service Center, the warehouse alone is 8700 square feet. Add to that a 1000 foot storage area, among other facilities, and a huge parking lot and youre looking at a pretty large piece of property. All of this can be streamlined, Mr. Cota said, because the needs of CUSD have changed. The district once had a large fleet of buses and employed a team of mechanics as well as their own groundskeepers as well as housing the associated equipment. In order to harness economy of scale, the district also used to store large amounts of supplies, such as reams and reams of paper. Now, he said, the buses are gone. Groundskeeping is contracted out and new supplies can be ordered as needed with the click of a button via computer. A smaller facility would be more than sufficient, and would likely be significantly more energy- and costefficient. The board praised Mr. Cota for his proposal, delivered via Powerpoint, which included images of a potential Service Center configuration on the San Antonio High School site superimposed on an overhead view of the campus culled from Google Maps. Mr. Llanusa and Ms. LaConte urged Mr. Cota and his team to continue exploring possible sites for the relocation of the Service Center. Mr. Cotas and his facilities teams next step, he said, is to figure out what kind of equipment the district may want to get rid of instead of continuing to house it in an oversized, underused Service Center. With all that room, weve kind of become packrats, he said. The Antiques Roadshow could probably come out and have a field day. Weve got band-saws that havent been turned on in 30 years.

Wolfes nears the century mark, looks forward to a healthy future
or an astonishing 96 years, Wolfes Market has been an archetypal mom and pop, handed down from father to son for generations while continuing to provide quality food and service to the Claremont community.
A few years agowith the store hit by a double-whammy of a crippling recession and the arrival of some stiff competition in the form of 2 new local grocery stores, Trader Joes and Sproutscurrent owner Tom Wolfe wasnt sure the longstanding enterprise would make it to 100. Buoyed by family support and enthused by a new direction, however, Mr. Wolfe is more optimistic than he has been in years. Mr. Wolfes son-in-law Jeff Clark came on board as marketing manager not long ago, bringing some fresh concepts, among them an active social media presence, to a business that is already very much a family affair. Mr. Wolfes wife, Shauna, works alongside him, keeping the business running smoothly. His sister, Terri Ingalls, serves as the markets baker. His daughter-in-law, Melonie Wolfe, runs the stores website, while his daughter, Kirsti Clark, is in charge of the Wolfes Market blog. Surprisingly, it was a non-business pursuit that nudged the grocery store towards its latest niche: that of a weightloss management site. A year ago, Mr. Wolfe realized he was in trouble. In the wake of a knee injury, he had cut back significantly on the regular racquetball games that once kept him trim. He had gained weight and with the extra fat

came high cholesterol and pre-diabetes. Then, he saw an infomercial for Tony Hortons 9P0X home exercise regimen, which bills itself as being able to reboot anyones body in 90 days via an intense cross-training exercise program. Using the new workout, Mr. Wolfe lost 5 pounds in a month. For his second month, he added a new element to his regimen. He began starting the day with
the Beach Body diet supplement drink Shakeology and, after 30 days, had lost 25 pounds. Realizing he was on to something, Mr. Wolfe introduced P90X and Shakeology to his son-in-law, who had put on some weight after trading his college football career for life as a busy dad of 3. They agreed to commit themselves completely to getting healthy, each turn-
ing their garage into a home gym. A year later, both of them have reached their fitness goals, complete with before-andafter pictures of their transformation from out-of-shape to top form. It was an incredible journey, a lifechanging event, Mr. Wolfe said of their mutual move toward renewed wellness.

They decided that Wolfes Market should carry Shakeology and other Beach Body supplements. You can also now visit The Kitchen and have them whip up a Shakeology smoothie, featuring chocolate, banana and almond milk. Mr. Clark then suggested they take things a step further by offering specialized meal plans featuring pre-prepared
meals that health-minded clients can pick up right at Wolfes. He brings in a ton of fresh ideas, Mr. Wolfe said of his enterprising son-in-law. Wolfes currently has 45 customers who stop by for freshly prepared meals featuring what is considered to be an ideal balance of protein, carbs and fat. There are even a couple of P90X-inspired dishes available in the Kitchen that are proving popular with customers at large, including a roasted root vegetable salad. Mr. Wolfe has also led 2 groups of customers in a Beach Body Ultimate Reset Cleanse, which he says takes a lot of commitment. He is truly delighted to be able to offer customers tools through which they can improve their bodies and their lives. Its the first time Ive been excited about anything here in a long time, because we help so many people, he said. While those interested in a significant lifestyle change may be intrigued by Wolfes new direction, traditionalists will be relieved to hear that Wolfes has not stopped specializing in the items that have made the market a local treasure for years: produce chosen for its freshness and variety and regularly restocked, prime meat cut as lean as possible and pre-prepared food that is skillfully seasoned and oven-ready. Mr. Wolfe is also dedicated to maintaining a positive culture at the store. At a recent meeting, Mr. Wolfe and his em-

ployees took some time to enumerate the things the business stands for. Quality products. Supreme service, he listed. Integrity, which means the ability to do the right thing. To be a team. Not just to be a team but to be a family, Ms. Wolfe corrected him. That includes our employees and customers. The final value the Wolfe family came up with is continual improvement, both as a business and as individuals. Claremont deserves excellence, Mr. Wolfe emphasized.
What keeps us going is the sense of community we have in Claremont, Mr. Wolfe said. Some of the values Wolfes represents are still important to the people that live here. These values are timeworn. To put things in historical perspective, Mr. Wolfes great-grandfather, John D. Wolfe, first opened J.D. Wolfe & Co. in 1917, when World War I was still raging. The original Mr. Wolfe handed the store

down to his son, who handed it down to his son, Ed Wolfe, the current owners father. Ed is still alive, Tom notes, adding He still comes around to check up on me. When he does, he finds a store stocked with plenty of fresh fruits and veggies, a tip-top butcher shop and, along with household staples, an array of gourmet products that make Wolfes an invaluable asset to local foodies. These include gourmet sauces from the Maine-based company Stonewall Kitchen; milk in glass bottles from Broguieres in Montebello, Dr. Bobs Handcrafted Ice Creams, high in butter-fat and quality ingredients
like Sharffen Berger chocolate and developed by Robert Small, a longtime Cal Poly Pomona professor; and hard-to-find specialty drinks like Sioux City Sarsparilla. Its features like these that Claremont resident Gail Broome has come to expect from her favorite local market. The produce is top-notch. Its like a European market, Ms. Broome said. I also like the fact that they have a butcher. You can come in and order anything in advance. And there really is nowhere else in the area where you can get premade food of really good quality. Ms. Broome notes that she also has a family connection to the store. Her husband, now 43, worked as a cashier at

Wolfes when he was a teenager. As a result, he has more than a little nostalgia for the little market that keeps on going. I also think that its important to keep places like this open, she said. Why not keep places like this open, places with this kind of history, so that not everything becomes a chain, a corporation, a conglomeration. With the Wolfes feeling more confident and revitalized than they have in
years, Claremonters will likely be able to stop in at the storied neighborhood grocery for many years to come. Its a prospect they relish. Were lucky to be in the communitywere lucky to be in Claremont, Ms. Wolfe said. We have great customers. The people in this area really do appreciate quality products.

Thunder wins clash of undefeated teams
n the B-2 Division of Claremont Youth Basketball last week, the unbeaten Thunder and Lightning squared off against each other in a preview of the upcoming tournament final in 4 weeks time.
The Thunder defeated the Lightning by 3 points to keep with their goal of maintaining the first undefeated season ever in the 5th-6th graders division of CYB. Whats impressive is the Thunder has achieved all this with 5th-graders and even one 4th-grader. Coached by Frank Gower, the team features his 3 sons, Tommy, Frankie and Jake, with the offense centering through point guard Jacob Lopez and shooting guard Jacob Allridge. We have beaten most teams pretty handily, but every year the Lighting give us trouble. Their coach, Kevin Patterson, always has a great team, said Coach Gower. With 2 games to go, the Thunder is certainly the team to beat, and the seasons tournament will begin on February 24. I have tried to teach the guys some structure, and some actual plays that we can run so that they are ready when they get into the older divisions, Coach Gower said. Theyre a great group of kids and always play aggressively.

Wolfpack wins highlight start of playoff season

Claremont battled the Charter Oak Chargers on Tuesday with playoff implications at the forefront of coaches minds. Both Wolfpack soccer teams achieved victories by a wide margin, as did boys basketball. Girls basketball was unable to come up with the win, however. Scores from Claremonts final regular season games will be featured in the online edition of the COURIER by Monday, and in the print edition by Wednesday. Stay tuned for playoff draws in all sports. BOYS SOCCER Claremont punctuated a strong second half of the season with another solid win against the Chargers. Goals from Eric Teagle and Ben Santia, and a Charter Oak own goal, gave the Wolfpack the 3-0 win and keeps them joint-top of the Sierra League going into the game against Ayala. A win and a Damien loss would see Claremont take pole position and the top seed. GIRLS SOCCER The Lady Wolfpack put 6 goals past the Charter Oak defense, with a consolation goal being the only blip on Claremonts performance. Karsyn Jordan scored a hat trick, and Madison Stark, Claire Damon and Savanna Lujan all scored for Claremont. The 6-1 secures the Wolfpack a playoff position going into the Ayala match. A win will clinch second place for the Wolfpack in the Sierra League. GIRLS BASKETBALL The Wolfpack fell victim to a second-quarter explosion by the Chargers, falling by the final score of 53-30. Claremont will look to end the season on a high note against the Bulldogs. BOYS BASKETBALL Claremont held Charter Oak to only 7 points in the first half, eventually winning the game 66-39. The Wolfpack players enjoyed an unusual share of point totals, with not a single player scoring in double figures. As a team, Claremont racked up 12 steals and managed to score 66 points while only shooting 44 percent from the field.
