Theres another aspect that makes the publisher of this paper quite happy on a number of levels. When you combine todays regular Friday paper and the Almanac, we are delivering 116 pages of Claremont-focused news and advertising to our readers. And you will see a much larger presence of realtors than in previous years. Our staff takes a lot of pride in delivering a quality product, which is key to publishing a successful community newspaper and website. Obviously the naysayers who predict doom and gloom for the newspaper industrys future, have never visited Claremont. Which is the perfect transition to my next topic about newspaper owners. Yes, there continues to be concerning news as established brands like the Oregonian and Cleveland Plain Dealer go through some dramatic cost-cutting. But as the industry continues to evolve, the transition brings good news, too. In the past 2 weeks, both The Boston Globe and The Washington Post have been purchased by billionaires motivated to ensure these newspapers continue to report stories of national interest, have a watchdog-type focus and retain the ethics and values that help the common good. It takes resources to do this, resources you wont find from online-only news websites, blogs and even many newspapers and television stations that have reduced coverage in recent years. There was a time not too long ago when newspaper companies were selling for obscene amounts of money (10 to 30 times their annual revenue). They say timing is everything and
these new buyers purchased the Post and Globe for a song. Well, a song by billionaire standards. Even though there were plenty of suitors, The Boston Globe was sold for $70 million, a little less than the $1.1 billion the New York Times paid for it in 1993. Thats over $1.75 billion in todays dollars. At that price, Im sure the new owner John Henry, the principal owner of the Boston Red Sox, was able to simply write a personal check. Mr. Henry says the Globes award-winning journalism and its rich history and tradition of excellence will continue as he takes his first foray into the world of news media. Its obvious Mr. Henry clearly understands the role and values of accurate, in-depth reporting, and will focus on the interests of readers, not his own personal agenda. By adopting a long-term strategy in good times and bad, the Globe will be a successful business, too. The same is true for The Washington Post and their new owner Jeff Bezos. Mr. Bezos owns this other side business called Amazon, and was able to purchase the Post for $250 million cash. That amount was not even one percent of his net worth. Talk about deep pockets! The Post has been a family-owned newspaper company for decades, and its natural to worry about change. But Mr. Bezos understands what kind of business the Post is, and made that clear in a letter to employees. The values of the Post do not need changing. The papers

CITY NEWS
Claremont to revisit design of Old School House signs
ts back to the drawing board for the Old School House monument signs, in look if not in stature.
Just months after the 12-foot promotional signs received approval by the architectural commission, officials are taking a second review due to deviations from what was initially approved. There are a couple things with the signs that werent built according to plan, acknowledged Brian Desatnik, director of community development. We need to work through these things with the owners. But it depends on the extent of the changes whether or not it will require additional review [at the commission/council level]. The height of the signs will remain intact, but their appearance will get a slight modification. The multicolored exteriors will be traded in for a muted backdrop consistent with neighboring signage, according to James Sink, chair of the architectural commission. He noted, specifically, the agreement had been to mimic the coloring of the checkers on the nearby Citibank sign. The signs text is the second deviation from the initial agreement, according to Mr. Sink. The sign face was to have slightly raised acrylic lettering. The built sign did not and will need to be fixed, not to exceed more than one line of text on each panel as is currently in place. Commissioners also hope to address complaints of the signs brightness. While the signs are currently illuminated by backlighting, officials seek to tone down the light by moving to halo-illuminated lettering, creating a soft glow behind each letter instead of lighting up the entire sign. While the height of the signs will not change, to the dismay of some, Mr. Sink believes the underlying details of the structures should create an overall appealing product despite their size. Revising details to match that sign more closely might improve the overall character of the monument signs, he said. The signs are going to be large, therefore the details of how they are constructed are extraordinarily important. Monument signs for Claremont shopping centers have become more abundant in recent years with the introduction of the Multi-Tenant Retail Center Sign Enhancement, which allows the city and its commis-
COURIERphotos/Steven Felschundneff The 2 marquee signs advertising businesses at the Old School House will have to be redone following a review by city staff and the architectural commission. The new signs will be the same height but will be more muted and will incorporate colors that better complement the buildings color scheme.
sions to be more lax in what they approve, provides flexibility for shopping center tenants looking for a little extra visibility, Mr. Sink explained. Claremonts architectural commission and city council approved a change to the citys ordinance in 2009, which had previously allowed only 3 tenants per sign. While multi-tenant signs are no longer restricted, they are also not welcomed in all parts of the city. Businesses in the Village District, for example, are completely restricted from erecting shared signage and all other areas are subject to architectural commission review and approval. And while looking to help out Claremonts business folk, commissioners say they still keep the character of Claremont at the forefront of their decisions.
Some members of the community felt the monument sign at OSH does not live up to the quality, spirit and vitality of the businesses in the Old School House, Mr. Sink said, recognizing the shopping center is an extremely important corner in our city. While it is difficult to go back to the owner and tenants to discuss how to make changes to a sign that is already constructed, the sentiment we received from the community was this has to be fixed, Mr. Sink said. This development deserves signage that respects the historic character while providing effective and attractive identification for the tenants.

duty will remain to its readers and not to the private interests of its owners. We will continue to follow the truth wherever it leads, and well work hard not to make mistakes. When we do, we will own up to them quickly and completely. I wont be leading The Washington Post day-to-day. I am happily living in the other Washington where I have a day job that I love. Besides that, the Post already has an excellent leadership team that knows much more about the news business than I do, and Im extremely grateful to them for agreeing to stay on. Mr. Bezos went on to talk about great journalism, which is an area some publishers ignore, or know little about (proven success in advertising is a must for any new publisher.) In fact, I was so impressed with how Mr. Bezos handled the purchase, I will accept his check for $10 million as long as I can remain COURIER publisher. Now thats a deal.
CUSD gains free portable classroom, long-term questions remain
laremont Unified School District is in the midst of a symbiotic exchange with a nearby school district.
At the Thursday, August 1 school board meeting, it was announced that the district is taking advantage of Baldwin Park Unified School Districts offer of a free CUSD portable building. The portable, which is worth NEWS $250,000, just needs to be picked up from its current site before the Monday, August 12 start of Baldwin Parks school year. Normally, CUSD would have to contact and vet some 20 contractors before deciding on a company to transport and install the portable, a process that would take about a month. Because of time constraints, the school board approved an emergency procedure allowing the district to use a contractor recommended by the Baldwin Park district. The portable, which is a double-sized modular building, will be installed at Condit Elementary School and used to
house a classroom plus a speech therapy headquarters or similar therapeutic facility. Like each of the school board members present, board member Sam Mowbray approved the measure allowing for the quick transportation and installation of the new portable. He did, however, take a moment to cite his concerns with the ongoing use of portables in the district, most of which have no running water. Right now, when we need to expand space, we have no choice except to add a portable, Mr. Mowbray explained in a subsequent interview. But I hope administration will remember that we need to develop a plan that would include a longer-term perspective for the district. A review of the facilities plan, which was last updated 3 or 4 years ago, would allow the district to assess what work needs to be done to improve the many portable classrooms. It would also allow the district to decide what permanent buildings should be constructed in the future to house the

Father of Claremont police officer honored through blood drive
laremont residents took to Taylor Hall on Thursday to give back to one of their own. An estimated 70 pints of blood were collected as part of a drive organized by Claremont Lieutenant Mike Ciszek in honor of his father, Walt Ciszek, who lost his battle with cancer on August 1. The donors included a number of Claremonts police force, including Detectives Robert Ewing and Isaac Reyes as well as Claremont Chief of Police Paul Cooper, a first-time donor. They are like family, Chief Cooper said of the Ciszek clan, adding that there is a strong bond in general between members of local law enforcement. We are there to help each other, especially in times of loss and need. Detective Ewing agreed. We are just happy to help in any way we can. The entire force came together to offer a helping hand, officers donating blood and Police Department employee Debbie Trevino taking control of the sign-ups and organization. While volunteers remained enthusiastic, Thursdays drive started on a somber note after news that Lt. Ciszeks father had died. A candle burned in memory of the retired Upland officer alongside a shirt scribbled with condolences for the family. Wally was the best PD at Upland! Theo Kazerooni wrote. Keeping your family in my prayers, added Pam Batista. Despite the melancholy news, for Claremont resident Betty Crocker it only served as a poignant reminder of the purpose and importance of the blood drive. We often wonder how we can help our friends and family when their loved one passes, she shared. It seems today is a perfect opportunity for us to support the Ciszek family and their passion to make a difference for all cancer patients, when blood supplies are so critically low. The Ciszek family teamed up with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to put on the weekday drive, much needed due to low donation levels in the summer months. In the summer, when schools are closed and business is slow, donations may fall as low as 20 pints a day, according to Cedars-Sinais Blood Drive Coordinator Dave Keys. On any given day, the Los Angeles-based medical center, which serves up to 300 patients at one time, may go through as many as 1200 units of blood a week, he noted.
COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff Claremont Police Detective Robert Ewing and Rancho Cucamonga resident Monica Lucero donate blood last Thursday at Taylor Hall in Claremont. The blood drive was held by Cedars-Sinai Hospital to support Claremont police lieutenant Mike Ciszeks father, who died earlier in the day from cancer.
Some procedures will require 25 to 30 pints of blood, and its not uncommon for a liver transplant alone to require 50 pints of blood or more, he said. Blood donations are vitally important. Among those to answer Cedar-Sinais call for blood on Thursday was Monica Lucero of Rancho Cucamonga, who said she heard about the drive while doing her routine grocery shopping at the Old School Houses Trader Joes market. She immediately made her way to the donation site. Ms. Lucero has no qualms about giving blood, and is in fact a frequent donor. She first gave blood several years ago to save a friend who had lost a lot of blood after an emergency C-section. She donated once again to save another friends 3-year-old son, who battled Leukemia.
Whether friend or stranger, Ms. Lucero happily answers the call to give blood whenever possible. There is no greater gift than the gift of life, she recognized. It doesnt take a crowd to give back, Mr. Keys asserts. It only takes a dozen or so volunteers to effectively set up a blood drive, and the availability of a large space like Taylor Hall is not necessary as Cedars-Sinai also has a mobile blood drive vehicle at the ready. Mr. Keys encourages those interested in hosting their own drive to give him a call at 310-717-5996 or send him an email at david.keys@cshs.org. For more information, visit www.cedars-sinai.edu.
POLICE BLOTTER
Thursday, August 1 Employees at the Claremont Heights Postal Center received a surprise on Thursday after intercepting 2 suspicious packages destined for the east coast. Inside the packages was an estimated 7 pounds of weed. Investigation continues. Friday, August 2 A construction crew working on homes in the 3900 block of Garey Avenue received some unsolicited help late last week. A couple of unidentified men took $5500 in copper wiring and piping off their hands in a single overnight sweep. Encouraged by their success, it is believed the same men came back the following night for a second copper spree. Additional wiring was cut, but not removed. Police believe the men intended to return for their loot, but were spooked by police or a neighborhood security guard hired following the first incident. Followup investigation is being conducted, but little is known about the burglars. Sunday, August 4 Lack of any and all control over bodily functions may be a sign its time to stop drinking. Unfortunately, 42-year-old Paul Attencio of Los Angeles was beyond that point when officers found him stumbling down Indian Hill Boulevard near First Street around 4:50 p.m. on Sunday. Police were there to help catch him before he tumbled, but werent able to stop him from wetting his pants, according to Det. Varney. Determined he could not take care of himself, Mr. Attencio was arrested for public intoxication and held until his selfcontrol returned. **** Richard Rouse of Claremont went down in the name of family pride on Sunday. First seen yelling in Wheeler Park, Claremont officers caught up with Mr. Rouse at a nearby residence, where he was seen standing in the driveway with clenched fists in an allegedly aggressive stance, according to police. In a statement to police, Mr. Rouse admitted he had been drinking all day and had smoked a little Mary J. He claimed he was standing
Man with warrant has poor excuse for casing neighborhood

A 47-year-old Los Angeles resident, seen perusing the Cinderella Drive neighborhood on the afternoon of Thursday, August 1, swears he wasnt up to anything out of the ordinary. Reggie Ponce claimed to be an appointment setter who was soliciting for a company in the area, according to Deguard in front of the home because he was getting ready to challenge a cousins boyfriend in the name of family pride and wanted to fight in the street like a man. He was arrested for being drunk and disorderly. Monday, August 5 A smash-and-grab burglary left a resident parked in the 800 block of West Bonita Avenue down $400 in stolen goods. Among them were a suitcase, plastic toys and a whole lot of play-dough. **** You arent going to charge me for sales, right? 51-year-old Mark Dishno of Alta Loma questioned police on Monday night. Chances are if he had to ask, it wasnt looking good. Troubles began for Mr. tective Rick Varney. However, its doubtful that staring into windows is part of the job description. Police believe another job title might be more appropriate for Mr. Ponce after finding out that he was wanted on an outstanding warrant for theft. He was arrested.
Dishno when police pulled him over in the 3300 block of Yankton Road. Because Mr. Dishno was on probation for drug sales, police asked him to step out of the car so they could conduct a proper search. He complied and the moment he stepped out of the car, 2 bags of methamphetamine fell out of his pocket, according to Detective Rick Varney. Mr. Dishno attempted to step on the bags to hide them from view but it was a little too late. Matters only grew worse as police located an additional bag of meth hidden in the sunroof of Mr. Dishnos car. He blamed the drugs on a friend who had borrowed the car, although it is unknown whether or not his friend also borrowed his pants. Mr. Dishno was arrested. Beth Hartnett

EDUCATION
Business side plays key role in success of Claremont schools
oving forward into the 20132014 school year, Assistant Superintendent of Business Services Lisa Shoemaker is cautiously optimistic about the economic status of Claremont schools.
While the passage of Prop 30 has yielded no additional money for the Claremont Unified School District, it ensured that no additional money will be cut from Californias beleaguered school system. Under Governor Jerry Browns new Local Control formula, CUSD is poised to receive a little more funding than it did last yearthis after years of seeing flat or less when it comes to state money. Then theres more than $13 million in proceeds from the sale of the old district office and service center, which CUSD will come into in the next year or 2. While it is reportedly a drop in the bucket compared to the districts overall needs in the areas of facilities, safety and American Disability Act concerns, it still represents a much-needed influx of cash. After years of weathering the storm of financial crisis, what does a year of relative economic health look like? Once Ms. Shoemaker and her team close the books on the budget in September, presenting to the school board a finalized picture of how much money the district has to work with, the board may start to look at restoring some of the areas that have been cut over the past several years. Such decisions may be based on the recommendations of Superintendent Jim Elsasser and his cabinet, which includes 4 assistant superintendents: Ms. Shoemaker, Bonnie Bell with educational services, Kevin Ward in human resources and Mike Bateman in student services. School board members may also have certain priorities. For instance, school board vice president Steven Llanusa, who is running to maintain his seat in the 2005 election, has expressed an interest in restoring the $300,000 in transportation funds that were cut, precluding busing to many sporting events and field trips. It may be about baby steps, and tentative ones at that, but CUSD is still in a notable position, considering growth when districts across the state are still caught in an economic tailspin. How has the district managed to maintain its solvency amid the funding crunch of the past years? The formula has been flexibility and a lot of teamwork, according to Ms. Shoemaker. Keeping the numbers steady The flexibility she is referring to is in terms of en-

rollment. In recent years, many districts have seen a significant decline in enrollment, which has created a double-whammy effect. Such schools not only saw shrinkage in per-pupil funding; they lost funding altogether with each lost student. Claremont schools, by contrast, have maintained steady enrollment for the last decade or so, according to Mr. Bateman. This consistency can be attributed to the fact that CUSD is a destination district, Ms. Shoemaker noted, with a healthy pool of students from other districts hoping to transfer into the district. Claremont schools have the ability each year to accept as many or as few inter-district transfer students as they want, depending on how many district students are enrolled. There are some in Claremont who feel CUSD has too many transfer students, Ms. Shoemaker acknowledged. In fact, the diversity has allowed Claremont schools to maintain the funding that makes them exceptional. Imagine if a school were to lose 20 students, the administrator posed. That would mean a teacher would need to be cut. And yet, the school would con-
tinue to have the same administrative overhead: salaries for the principal and the custodian, utility costs, etc. No I in team Ms. Shoemaker also attributes the districts resilience to an extraordinary amount of cooperation between each of its stakeholdersteachers, staff, administrators and parents. At their meetings, the school board often takes a moment to acknowledge Ms. Shoemakers acumen in navigating the ever-changing terrain of state funding. She wants to make something clear: I am not the savior of the district, by any means. Its taken a huge amount of teamwork. Ms. Shoemakerwho has been with CUSD since 1996, starting as director of accountingsaid signs that schools were in trouble came years before the crash of 2008. In the early 2000s, the state began to play games, deferring one of its regular payments for various school needs to the following year, and

CUSD population that Assistant Superintendent of Student Services Mike Bateman projects will include 6,950 students this year. Mr. Mowbray served on the Claremont school board from 1993 until 2005 and returned to the board in 2011. He says he ran for a school board seat the second time because he felt he could lend the board a useful historic perspective. Mr. Mowbray noted that CUSD had a list of needed improvements it planned to address via revenue from Measure Y, a $48.9 million school facilities bond that passed in 2000. One such project was the installation of water in all of the portables being used as classrooms, a project that involves the installation of drainage and sewage systems. It is a worthwhile aim, according to Mr. Mowbray,
who feels that classrooms should at least have a sink and running water so the kids can wash their hands after activities. Unfortunately, the district, which had been getting very competitive and low bids, encountered a precipitous rise in the cost of labor and materials soon after the measures passage. As a result, CUSD began to run out of money quickly, Mr. Mowbray noted. We had to make certain choices on how to spend what money we had left, he said. In most cases, it was spent on safety and energy efficiency issues. In 2010, the board championed Measure CL, a new $94.9 million facilities bond that included among its goals a number of unfinished projects left over from the Measure Y bond. Coming so soon after the economic downturn and amid mistrust over how quickly Measure Y money ran out, the public voted the measure down. There has been some speculation in another year or
so, it may be time to introduce another facilities bond. If the board plans to make such a move, they will need to have an accurate reckoning of what Claremont schools really need, Mr. Mowbray said. He feels the districts many portables should be an area of focus. Were not unique, he noted. Most districtshave had this problem where, as the population of California increases and class sizes decrease, there is a need for room that is satisfied by using portables. Its the correct thing to do, but many people would like to see us incorporate a plan to minimize their use. The next school board meeting is set for Thursday, August 15 at 6:30 p.m. It will be held at the Richard S. Kirkendall Education Center, located at 170 W. San Jose Avenue in Claremont.

The flood of 1938

by Ginger Elliot
laremont is no stranger to natural disasters. Earthquakes and wildfires have taken their toll but 75 years ago it was water that brought destructionthe flood of 1938.
The rain began in late February and was a warm rain. It began to melt the sizeable snowpack on Mt. Baldy. By March 2, the small weirs in San Antonio Canyon were breached. Almost 10 inches of melted snow and rain all came down the mountain at once. Camp Baldy, now Baldy Village, was virtually destroyed. All the north-south streets in Claremont were flooded and torn up. People were isolated in their houses. The tracks of the Santa Fe Railroad and the Pacific Electric rail cars were washed out and there was no road passable to either east or west. The heaviest damage was to the eastern side of the city. Flood waters came up to window sills, 6 people lost their lives and houses were uprooted from their foundations. The Lillian Patterson estate (now the Claremont Club stone house) lost its 4-foot-wide stone wall and Miss Patterson and Miss Fleming had to be rescued by boat. They told of hearing the sound of boulders from the mountains rolling past their house as if they were trains. Not as fortunate were the members of the Lackey family who attempted to leave their bungalow on Monte Vista in the family car which was washed away by a wave of water. The mother and 2 of her children were killed. The Claremont Colleges numbered three in 1938, Pomona College, Claremont Graduate School and Scripps College for Women. They were in the direct path of the flood waters and many buildings were badly damaged with inches of silt and water in their
basements and first floors. At Scripps, antiques and oriental rugs were ruined and landscaped courtyards lost their trees and bushes. On a lighter note, the paper labels on all canned goods had been washed away so, for at least a week students really did eat mystery meals. The event bought out all the volunteer energy of the small town, not only fire and police but the Womens Club, the Chamber of Commerce, the WPA workers and college students were put to work shoveling silt and staffing rowboats. Gradually, the town recovered. The damage was much wider than Claremont and Los Angeles, Riverside and Orange counties approached the federal government for aid in establishing a comprehensive flood control program. In Los Angeles it led to the channeling of the Los Angeles River. Here, the San Antonio Dam was completed in 1956 at the mouth of San Antonio canyon to hold back flood torrents and debris with a channel to allow for the spreading and conservation of water below the dam. There should be no repeat of the Flood of 1938.
Ojai residents begin formal take-over of water company

Ojai residents are moving closer to controlling their water future as absentee ballots were mailed to voters last week that could lead to removing Golden State Water Company as their water provider. Claremont constituents hope to follow suit.

Voting Rights Act of 1965

Dear Editor: After reading the commentary in the August 2, COURIER, Congress must act quickly to restore the Voting Rights Act, I felt compelled to respond. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was unconstitutional from the beginning, and the Supreme Court recognized this in their writings. The Constitution guarantees voting rights but leaves the determination of voting qualifications to the individual states. Of course, not exclusively but particularly in southern states, there had been a history of egregious violation of black citizen's voting rights. Passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was deemed justifiable by the Court stating, in part, ...exceptional conditions can justify legislative measures not otherwise appropriate. Knowing that this extraordinary law was unconstitutional, it was originally set to expire after 5 years. About the current Supreme Court decision that prompted Ms. Taylors commentary, she wrote, (the decision) ...erased fundamental protections against racial discrimination in voting that have been effective for more than 40 years. Well, here we are nearly 50 years later and things have changed dramatically. Of the courts recent decision Justice Roberts wrote, ...voter turnout and registration rates now approach parity. Blatantly discriminatory evasions of federal decrees are rare. And minority candidates hold office at unprecedented levels. (That includes, of course, our President.) The Supreme Court, with their current decision, views the Voting Rights Act of 1965 no longer necessary. Racial discrimination in the United States is not completely dead. It probably never will be. But it is most certainly on life support. Some folks have a need to keep the illusion of mass racism alive. Why? There are all manner of reasons. For the Sharpton's and Jackson's of the

Playing the race card has become an effective way to quickly put a political opponent on the defensive. It appears that the League of Women Voters might need to review their positions on race related issues. We need to let racism slip away, only to be remembered as one of those ugly things in our history. Jack Sultze

people, per the 10th Amendment. Therefore, the federal Supreme Court should have acknowledged Prop 8 as entirely outside the purview of the federal courts. Further, as an amendment to the California state constitution, Prop 8 can not be declared unconstitutional by the California Supreme Court. Prop 8 is what the people of the state of California intended to be the law of the land, in California.

Dear Editor: Mr. Gar Byrum offers a thoughtful letter [Proposition 8, COURIER, August 2] regarding standing to argue a case, and other issues. Proposition 8 and same-sex marriage are frequently conflated with other issues. Just to clear the air, Prop 8 has no relation, rhetorically or otherwise, to the right of women to vote. Thats already covered in plain, easy-to-read English by the 19th Amendment. Nor does it have anything to do with denying blacks service and public accommodations. Likewise, thats already covered by similarly plain, easy-to-read English in the 14th Amendment, ratified in 1868 to unambiguously clarify the rights of recently freed slaves. On the other hand, nowhere does the Constitution recognize a right to samesex marriage, or, in fact, address marriage at all, in any way, shape, or formunless, of course, one is looking for one of those special rights, you know, the ones written in invisible ink, like the right to abortion. Our Founders would have seen marriage as one of the many issues, ...reserved to the states respectively, or to the
Water: Local or federal control

[Editors note: The following letter was sent to the San Gabriel Valley Tribune with a copy forwarded to the COURIER for publication. KD] Dear Editor: Reporter Steve Scauzillo of the San Gabriel Tribune reported on the meeting held Tuesday, July 30 in San Dimas. His opening statement was: Powerful water interests and conservative members of cities in Los Angeles County raised numerous concerns relative to the proposed legislation that would grant the National Park Service power to manage portions of the San Gabriel Foothills, Puente Hills, and San Gabriel and Rio Hondo rivers. At this meeting, a number of various city council members were in attendance, however, opposition to this proposal was shared by conservative and liberal council members alike. Many of the liberal council representatives do not support this proposal at this time, so the assumption that opposition,
or concern, is only from conservatives is erroneous and divisive. If Steve was referring to the audience, I am curious how he could decipher the conservative. I could not determine who was a liberal, a conservative, or a non-political member of the audience by visual appearance. Given that all questions were submitted in written form and read by a member of the sponsoring organization, anonymity prevailed. This is a very important issue: an issue that should not be framed in the confines of conservatives vs. liberals. At stake is the control of the water along our San Gabriel mountains. Water that is used and needed in our citiesit is much of the water we drink. He who controls the water; controls the land. That was true in the early years of our nation, and it is true today. One just has to look at the devastation in the central valley of Californiaours is the Santa Ana sucker fish, which is on the protected species and could have a similar affect on our cities along the San Gabriel Mountains. This issue and proposal should be studied thoroughly; it should be written clearly, detailed, and without ambiguity. The difference between a reporter and a commentator is the difference between objective and subjective. The public needs objective reporting. I urge Mr. Scauzillo to report the facts objectively; and refrain from subjectively promoting political divisiveness. Water is vital to us alllet us be sure we do not fall prey to those who may not have our best interest as their priority. Kudos to both political parties who are proceeding cautiously in this issue,

Algird Al Leiga
Devoted husband, father, Claremont champion
A 40-year resident of Claremont, Algird Al Leiga died August 2, 2013 at Pomona Valley Hospital following a brief hospitalization and a losing battle with cancer. Mr. Leiga was 80 years of age. The man who would become a local stalwart was born in New York City on March 25, 1933 to George and Mary Leiga. His grandparents were originally from Lithuania. An only child, Mr. Leiga grew up in Brooklyn where he attended and graduated from Franklin K. Lane High School in 1951. He went on to college at New York University where he earned his bachelors degree in 1955, a masters degree in 1960 and his doctorate in physical chemistry in 1963. The next year he joined the Xerox Corporation in Rochester, New York where he was a senior scientist in the Physics Research Laboratory. He came to Claremont in 1973 and was with Xerox Medical Systems in Pasadena, managing the Consumables Technology and Manufacturing Group. He retired from Xerox after more than 3 decades, in 1995. In the interim, while he was a college student, Mr. Leiga met Ann Dumig at a church dance in New York. The couple was married on September 3, 1955 and began a lifelong partnership. Mr. Leigas service to the Claremont community began before his retirement when he was elected to the Claremont City Council in 1990 and served on that body until 2003, including his terms as mayor from 1994 to 1997. Along the way, he was active in a variety of community activities including, but not limited to, the then Claremont Chapter of the American Red Cross where he served as chairman, the board of overseers at the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, the Claremont Community Foundation and the Claremont Rotary. He was a 10-year member of the Board of Directors at Pilgrim Place where he served as chairman, vice chairman and treasurer. In the wider area, he was a trustee of the San Gabriel Valley Mosquito and Vector Control District and a member of the Los Angeles County Commission on Quality and Productivity, along with his membership in the steering committee of the Crime Prevention and Public Safety Committee of the National League of Cities. A particularly important activity and passion for Mr. Leiga was serving as chairman and founding board member of the Gold Line Construction Authority and his membership on the executive board of Foothill Transit, where he worked to develop and improve public transit. Claremont resident Jeanne Kennedy served with Mr. Leiga on the Los Angeles County Quality and Productivity Commission. Ms. Kennedy noted, Al was well-respected throughout the county for his business perspective, fresh ideas and different slant on ways to improve government services. He served as chair of the commission for 3 years while encouraging county managers to take full advantage of advances in technology. He will be remembered as a clear thinker whose goal was to help local government become more effective. Fellow local government members were equally appreciative of Mr. Leiga. Former fellow council member Paul Held noted Mr. Leigas achievements on two planesOne was as a family man and devoted husband. The other was as a council member who brought a conscientious, balanced perspective and most of all cared about Claremont. Suzan Smith served as a fellow council member for 9 years. First of all, he was wonderful to work with. On an occasion when Caltrans wanted to widen Foothill Boulevard, Ms. Smith recalled in a humorous vein that Mr. Leiga came up with an innovative method of blocking the expansion by parking city trash trucks along the thoroughfare. On a personal level, Ms. Smith recalled Mr. Leigas thoughtfulness during a period of time when she had lost her husband and he kindly escorted her to a number of city events. Another companion council member, Karen Rosenthal also remembered Mr. Leiga being such an involved caregiver for his wife, Ann, who has had MS (multiple sclerosis) for so many years. He realized that council members had to consider the whole community and its needs, not just the desires and hopes of one segment of residents. Firm in his convictions, he could dig in his heels, but he was never bitter or nasty. Al was good to work with, true to your face, not a backstabber and certainly not an ideologue. Ms. Rosenthal recalled Mr. Leigas good sense of humor, particularly during a period of time when he was the only man on the council. She remembers his jokingly claiming that he was the pack mule of the group when he ended up carrying lipsticks, drivers licenses, credit cards and cash in his jacket pockets to conferences and meetings for the female members of the group. She also recalled that Mr. Leiga enjoyed cooking and making wine and pomegranate jelly. Longtime Claremont resident Diann Ring had the longest tenure as a fellow council member with Mr. Leiga.
OBITUARIES
Mr. Leiga was very active in the congregation of Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Church, where he was a member of the Administrative Council and a charter and 3rd Degree member of the OLA Council of the Knights of Columbus. Admiration of Mr. Leiga has come from many who knew and worked with him. Bill Cunitz, President and Chief Executive Officer at Pilgrim Place, described Mr. Leiga as an amazing mentor with an ability to collaborate and draw out the best in people. He was a great problemsolver. Mr. Cunitz also noted Mr. Leigas contributions to transit services throughout the county and his devotion to his wife of 58 years. It was typical of him to be so thoughtful. Friends from Claremont Rotary added their praise. He was a superhero to me, Anita Hughes noted, because of his care for Ann. He also served as chairman of the Rotarys spring egg hunt for a number of years. Rotary friend Randy Prout observed that Mr. Leiga was a consummate gentleman. He was devoted to Ann, and that spoke volumes about him. He could work both sides of the aisle for the good of everybody in the community. He wont be forgotten. Bob Rudolph, a fellow member and friend at OLA, described Mr. Leiga as a very special guy. What he did for his wife was fantastic. He was very, very loyal to his family and to his church. He was a conservative-minded person and we would tease him occasionally about how he ever got to be a council member in Claremont.
I was fortunate to have served on the city council with a number of dedicated, caring, smart and good-natured individuals. Al Leiga is one great example. Lists of boards, chairmanships and years of service are one measure of a man, but there are others. On paper, we were political opposites. But in fact, Al and I almost always voted the same regarding issues important to the future of Claremont. Ms. Ring also recalled a humorous side to the relationship when she and fellow council members Judy Wright and Sue Smith set out to change Mr. Leigas wardrobe from what she described as Xerox Corporation gray and black. The trio escorted him on shopping trips while attending regional meetings to add a more colorful wardrobe. The week before he was to become mayor, he asked me to go shopping with him at the Nordstroms mens sale. I helped him pick out a stylish California suit, shirt and tie. He later was named the Valleys Best Dressed Mayor by the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin. Ms. Ring noted that Mr. Leiga subsequently dressed and showed up in whatever the uniform of the day was, whether a tuxedo for council dinners or work clothes to plant trees. He not only showed up, but he truly did the work. Al, Judy (Wright), Nick (Presecan), Enid (Douglass) and Alex (Hughes) are all gone now, but their contributions and service to the city of Claremont must never be forgotten. I love and mourn them all. Mr. Leiga was an enthusiastic and avid traveler along with his wife during retirement years. He served as president of the computer club and offered volunteer tax assistance to residents through the Claremont Senior Centers as well. Mr. Leiga is survived by his wife of more than a half-century, Ann Leiga of the Pilgrim Place Health Center; by his son and daughter-in-law, Gerard Jerry and Lora and their children, Alexandra and Ethan of Placentia; by his daughter Susan Leiga and her partner Kathryn Waters and Susans daughters, Emily and Elizabeth of San Leandro; by his daughter Kathryn and her children, Connor, Quinn and Jessica of Rockland; and by his son and daughter-in-law, Steven and Kate, and their sons, John and Andrew of San Andreas. A memorial service for Mr. Leiga was held on August 8, 2013 at Our Lady of the Assumption Church, followed by burial at Oak Park Cemetery in Claremont.

City seeks applicants to help create Wilderness Park master plan

The city of Claremont is seeking proposals from qualified consultants to work with staff and the community to prepare a comprehensive master plan for the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park. Proposals are due by 2 p.m. on Monday, September 16 at the Hughes Center, 1700 Danbury Rd. The master plan would update the current management plan for the wilderness park and incorporate into one plan the various documents and agreements that guide the operation and maintenance of almost 2000 acres of wilderness area owned by the city of Claremont. The goal is to create, through community dialogue, one unified vision for the management, maintenance and expansion of the park, balancing the desire for recreation while preserving the natural resource. The complete Request for Proposal (RFP) can be found on the city website at www.ci.claremont.ca.us. For assistance with downloading the RFP, contact Bill Pallotto, community and human services manager, at bpallotto@ci.claremont.ca.us or 399-5332.

Congresswoman connects with Claremont constituents
ongresswoman Judy Chu is making use of her downtime from Congress. The local legislator, representing the newly-redrawn 27th Congressional District, made a stop in Claremont on Thursday to mingle with constituents and provide an update on her work at Capitol Hill.
A little more than 50 locals gathered at the Hughes Center on Thursday afternoon to hear Ms. Chus 36minute talk on topics like business, transportation, healthcare and designating the Claremont foothills as a National Recreation Area. Its critical that we have an open-door policy and dialogue, and thats why I am here today, Ms. Chu said, addressing the audience. I just flew back from Washington, DC and I am eager to touch base with you. She wasted no time in detailing the latest in Congress, including her dismay about further budget cuts to transportation and housing. An additional 7 percent cut was added to the 12 percent reduction to transportation and housing programs already enacted as a part of sequestration cutbacks, which went into effect in March. Among transit programs to experience the cuts is the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grant program, investing in road, rail and transit projects. I find that [budget cut] very alarming because LA County in particular has an aging infrastructure. We have so many needs including the regional connector...but most importantly, how about that Gold Line, she said. Ms. Chu was also disheartened about potential cuts to the Community Development Block Grant programs (CDBG), which the city of Claremont has relied on for many years. This year the city gave out $137,204 in CDBG for senior case management, job creation and business incentives. A recent bill, however, proposed cutting CDBG allocations in half, bringing the programs funding to its lowest level since the program began 40 years ago, Ms. Chu noted. She added that should those cuts have gone through, the 27th congressional district would have lost nearly $2.2 million for 2014.
COURIERphotos/Steven Felschundneff Congresswoman Judy Chu shares a laugh with the League of Women Voters VP for Action Ellen Taylor on Tuesday during a reception for Ms. Chu at the Hughes Center in Claremont. Ms. Chu discussed her priorities for the region during a 36-minute talk, which included extending the Metro Gold Line and getting a National Recreation Area designation for the San Gabriel Mountains.
With the support of the house majority, Ms. Chu and fellow legislators struck down further cuts to CDBG funding. And you can count on me to raise my voice if this program is ever on the chopping block again, she said. In addition to CDBG, Ms. Chu emphasized her support of small business, acknowledging that small business has helped create 2 out of every 3 new jobs in our economy. In order to continue to foster these numbers, Ms. Chu is working to bring the San Gabriel Valley its first Small Business Development Center, providing free management assistance to aspiring and established small businesses. Talks are currently taking place between the congresswoman and the University of La
Verne, where the center will be established. While much of her speech garnered a positive response from the audience, not all were on board with her comments about designating the San Gabriel Mountains as a National Recreation Area. The San Gabriel Mountains are a jewel of LA County, the congresswoman said. Yet it is improperly maintained. There is a lack of signage and trail maintenance, there are not enough restrooms or trash receptacles and I think its because there are so few resources for that area. Thats where the National Park Service comes in. If it is declared a national park area, then those resources will start to come in.

Upland resident Cathy Cushman urged the congresswoman to vote to defund the Affordable Care Act and to oppose immigration reform. JUDY CHU continued from the previous page
Others werent so sure turning to the federal government is such a good idea. She kept referring to how much the government can do, noted Upland resident Cathy Cushman. But I believe the opposite. I think the people should have the ability to run their own lives. As an Upland resident, Ms. Cushman wasnt impressed and felt the presentation did not focus on the interests of Ms. Chus eastern district constituents outside the city of Claremont. Nor was she pleased with the legislators support of Obamacare or her take on immigration and job creation. People think the government makes jobs? People make jobs, Ms. Cushman asserted. Government takes away jobs. Claremont resident Sandy Hester, on the other hand, left Thursdays open house reception satisfied with the responses. There is never enough time to get your questions answered, but she tried to address the concerns of the Claremont community, Ms. Hester acknowledged. Overall, Ms. Hester is pleased with

the interest Ms. Chu is taking in the eastern portion of her district. This is the first time a member of Congress has cared so much about us and about addressing the issues we care about. In order to better serve Foothill cities like Glendora, Claremont and Upland, Ms. Chu has a new district office right here in Claremont, located within the Old School House Shopping Center.

Claremont shows sweet side at first pie festival

I wholly blame my current state on Claremonts I Like Pie Bakeshop, which allowed me the chance to fulfill a dreamjudging a baked goods competition at Claremonts first annual Pie Festival last weekend. For this pie lover, Christmas came early as Village West and East were decked out in homage to my favorite sweet treats. In an unwelcome twist, my stom-
ach decided to play on my Yuletide metaphor, jiggling like a bowl full of jelly as I waddled out of the judging room. But who can resist the chance to taste more than 20 freshly made, home-baked pies before noon? Well, maybe you have more self-control than me. Truth is, when it comes to pie and confectionary creations from the oven, self-control has no meaning. Some of my earliest memories consist of standing on a chair pulled up to our kitchens butcher block, stirring batter for my dad as he made crepes, or helping clean the beaters for my mom after mixing up some cookie dough or frosting. Inspired by these ventures, and a documentary consisting of custard-laden pastries doled out for the

While my dishes have never featured in DC, my coworkers can vouch for my continued obsession with both baking and consuming dainty delicacies. Since opening up its doors in the Village Plaza last November, I Like Pie has featured heavily in my sugar-induced daydreaming. I have been guilty of walking through the plaza just to catch a glimpse of the days pie selection, and admit I have tried just about everything (banana cream and BBQ chicken admittedly more than once). Jelly jar-sized portions allow indulgent customers like myself to justify the splurge. It was on one such indulgent afternoon that I heard owner Annika Corbin was looking for judges for her

Despite the economys ups and downs, the Cat in the Window boutique antique shop thrives in the Harvard Square shopping center thanks to its dutiful guardian, who has learned that when destiny calls, you answer. Such was the case when Ms. Reilley first stepped out into the business world with her antiques in tow, opening up shop in the former Antique Mall above where Speckled Hens now resides. When it was announced the malls upstairs antique emporium would be closed, it looked like her business would fold not soon after it began. As fortune would have it, however, a small nook became available downstairs just hours before her departure. Ms. Reilley

was quick on her feet. The chance just came my way and I grabbed it, she said. Sometimes thats what you do with opportunities, you get creative.
An art major, Ms. Reilley always harbored a special sense of creativity. Though she originally hoped to go into clothing design, her dream was put on hold as she took on the full-time responsibility of housewife and mother to 4 girls. Her dream career as a fashion designer would never come to fruition, but Ms. Reilley did find her creative niche, albeit not in the way she would have imagined. It came to her through work at a dental laboratory. Though a far cry from fashion design, Ms. Reilley soared as a dental ceramist thanks to years of art classes. Inspired by her newfound experience and aided by the tutelage of a dental technician performing wax molds, Ms.
Reilley turned her knowledge of casting teeth into a fun hobby of casting jewelry. She began by casting herself a simple gold band, one she still wears on a daily basis. Before she knew it, everyone was asking her to design rings to match. She garnered herself quite the business in the lab alone. Encouraged by her success, Ms. Reilley enrolled in a jewelry-making course at Citrus College and began expanding her business, adding stones and more intricate designs into her handiwork. The jewelry-maker and her finery soon became a regular fixture at the Sunday Griswolds art and crafts fairs, and other local art shows. The jewelry-making continued for 6 years, with Ms. Reilley waking up in the middle of the night to jot down her design inspirations and happily shaping silver in her garage later that day. However, a job transfer in the 1970s forced her to put her casting machine into retirement as she followed her husband to London, England. Overseas, she no longer had the outlet to sell her jewelry. So instead of the arts and crafts fairs that took up her time in Claremont, she turned her attention to Englands bounty of antique shops and expos. She gathered quite a stock throughout her 5 years in London, with one of her favorite stops being at a little store called Cat in the Window. She loved it so much she

LECTURE Pomona College Alumni Association presents Can Zombies do Math? with mathematics professor Gizem Karaali in a free lecture at Descanso Gardens. Mathematics is a field of knowledge commonly associated with objectivity and universality, yet doing it well requires a certain comfort with ambiguity and a deep desire for elegant simplicity. Many mathematicians claim its main appeal is not its applicability and power, but rather its aesthetic beauty. Does this make math a uniquely human endeavor? In other words, could zombies do math? Guests are free to explore Descanso Gardens until closing at 5 p.m. The event begins at 1:30 p.m. at 1418 Descanso Drive, La Caada Flintridge. Free.

August 31 through October 13: Chasing Daylight, Philip Latimeer Dike 1927-1943. Mr. Dike contributed greatly to the California art scene of the 1930s and 1940s through his work in what would later become known as the California Style of watercolor painting. As the 1920s drew to a close and entered the 1930s, Mr. Dike began to master the art of translating the effects of
light and color into watercolor. In those early years, his fascination with this work led the rather shy and private artist on a journey throughout the United States and Europe. With more than 50 paintings, the exhibition tells the story of these years in detail. Visitors will view his impressions of life in New York in the late 1920s and his studies at the Arts Students League; his work in Europe, including his time at the American Academy of Art at Fontainebleau; and his travels afterwards. Paintings created after his return from his travels overseas will also be on display, as he continued his exploration of light and color by recording street scenes, architecture and landscapes in southern California and the Southwest. Opening reception: Saturday, September 14 from 7 to 9 p.m. featuring live music and light refreshments. Closing reception: Sunday, October 13 featuring a watercolor demonstration. SQUARE i GALLERY: 110 Harvard Ave., Claremont. Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. or by appointment. Square i is an annex of the Artist Trait Gallery. Exhibits rotate approximately every 6 weeks. Call 621-9091 or e-mail info@squareigallery.com. Through August 31: Jessica McCoy, a faculty member at Claremont Pitzer College, is featured with her collection of oil paintings. In describing her work, Ms. McCoy says, The fragments of the paintings are composed in the way that I would choose to look around the room. They are similar to film stills, snap shots of the space that are being committed to memory. The fragments also serve as an obstacle for the viewer, not only limiting the visibility but the coherent progression of time. It is not a single moment, but a compilation of moments. The viewer can never be truly aware of the sequence, or the action in omitted fragments. For me, the space is negotiated slowly at times, and frantically at others. Initially, the paintings are soft and welcoming, and the composition encourages one to study each frame individuallyThe environment is sheltered, yet threatening, a paradox that alters the mood of the reconstructed spaces.

LISA SHOEMAKER continued from page 5
then another payment. CUSD, which still had to pay its employees and serve its students, began to feel the early pinch of financial hardship.
With the financial crisis, the district had the collective foresight to act. Everybody hunkered down. Everybody took a measured and cautious approach, Ms. Shoemaker recalled. It was not The Boy Who Cried Wolf running into the woods, but we werent ignoring the inevitable.
Ms. Shoemaker characterizes 2007-2008 as the last good year. After that, the district accepted there would be less money going forward and began to prioritize. A number of classified staffers were laid off or saw their hours reduced. K-3 class sizes were raised from 20 to 25, resulting in a loss of about 17 teachers. The unions for both teachers and classified staff accepted such hardships, albeit reluctantly, and for quite some time forewent asking for raises during their collective bargaining process. The board also showed strength, because you have to be brave to make the heartbreaking and unpopular decision to cut employees, Ms. Shoemaker noted. The role of parents in helping Claremont schools survive and thrive cannot be understated, she asserted. The Claremont Educational Foundation existed for many years as a smaller organization called EdNet, raising some $25,000-$30,000 per year. In 2003-

2005, when districts everywhere began slashing enrichment programs like art and music, it became apparent that more was needed in terms of school support. Then Superintendent Sheralyn Smith, who hailed from a district with a flourishing educational foundation, advised that Claremonts be bolstered, Ms. Shoemaker said. The district organized a budget advisory committee featuring parents and staff members, aimed at helping the public understand what Claremont Schools stood to lose. The Save Our Schools campaign was born and the community has stepped up en masse, raising thousands of dollars each year to fund art and music in local elementary schools and technology at El Roble Intermediate and Claremont High School. For instance, CEF presented CUSD with a whopping
$210,000 check for the 2012-2013 school year. District personnel did their part by crafting and sticking to a budget each year that was based on the worst possible scenario for school funding offered by the state in advance of a formalized budget. Ever the team player, Ms. Shoemaker credits her director of fiscal services, Karen Waltman, with helping her stay the course. Shes a genius when it comes to the numbers. She is known as one of the best in the state, Ms. Shoemaker praised. Despite her insistence that she has played only a support role in the CUSD success story, its clear that theres something about Lisa. Shes thrifty but not cheap, as evinced by her fervent hope that the people of California will one day see fit to pay teachers higher salaries. She has a swift grasp of numbers and dollar signs and their repercussions, and can communicate such intricacies to the board and community in laymans terms. Ms. Shoemaker has the rare attribute of being both detail-oriented and a people person, whereas many chief financial officers are more stereotypically introverted. Theyre in the back room with a green eyeshade and a cigar, she joked. For Ms. Shoemaker, its whats going on out of the back room and in the classroom that motivates her. She and Ms. Whitman share a passion for education, she says. Weve always tried to convey to our staff that we are here because of students, she insists. Its all about the kids and what support they need. We wouldnt have jobs, if not for them.
EDUCATION

CUSD hires new San Antonio High School principal
t their Thursday, August 1 meeting, the Claremont Unified School District Board of Education voted to confirm a new principal of San Antonio High School and Community Day School as recommended by the district.
Sean Delgadowhose last post was a 2-year tenure as the vice principal of Nogales High School in La Puentewill be helming the local continuation school. Before that, Mr. Delgado, a resident of Chino Hills,
served as assistant principal at Don Lugo High School during the 2010-2011 school year. Kevin Ward, assistant superintendent of human services, noted that Mr. Delgados qualifications were so impressive that he had risen to the top of a pool of 40 candidates. After applying for the position, Mr. Delgado said he drove through the San Antonio campus and felt a strange connection with the school. He is delighted that his feeling proved correct and he landed the job. I wanted to thank each and every one of you. I cant tell you how excited I am to be part of your team, Mr. Delgado said.
The former principal of San Antonio High School, Steven Boyd, who served as the continuation schools head administrator for 9 years, will be taking on a new position this fall at the district office. He has been tasked with helping the Claremont Unified School District assess and fulfill its technology needs as the district transitions to the Common Core, a new form of assessment that California schools will begin to use in 2015. A more complete feature on Mr. Delgado will appear in an upcoming edition of the COURIER.
How does your garden grow? For CUSD, with more hours
ommunity Garden Coordinator Dessa DAquilaone of the many district employees on hand at Claremont Unified School Districts annual Food Faire on Wednesdayhas some good news. She will be returning for her second year to help oversee the districts many gardening projects. The district also is in the midst of turning her position, which was 25 hours per week last year, into a full-time job. Just as gardening takes time, so does fostering partnerships. Ms. DAquila named 3 collaborative efforts as focal points for the coming year. The first of these is Oakmonts Biomes Project, in which 4 distinct native environments (desert, grassland, shrubland and forest) are being recreated on the elementary school campus. Each classroom at Oakmont, known as Claremonts Outdoor School, has a significant portion of its curriculum built around these biomes. They are being cultivated via the cooperative efforts of Sustainable Claremont, Bentson & McCallion Water Wise Landscapes and Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden. The community shouldnt expect instant results, Ms. DAquila warned. Native plants cant be cultivated until around October, when the weather cools down. With some quick work, however, students will soon be able to enjoy a living laboratory aimed at introducing them to the concept of Earth citizenship. Ms. DAquila will also be helping Vista del Valle Elementary School as it embraces a free, state-created curriculum called Environmental Education Initiative (EEI). The material is impressive with images provided by National Geographic.
Vistas gardening niche is its 3 orchards, providing citrus, avocados, guavas, pomegranates and stone fruits like apricots, nectarines and plums. The school will emphasize the sections of EEI curriculum focusing on orchards, and will expand its partnership with the nonprofit Common Vision. The outdoor education organization, which specializes in orchards, sends out representatives each year to prune the trees at schools and to present workshops. The trees at Vista were pruned on Tuesday and they are absolutely teeming with fruit, noted Vista Principal Dave Stewart, who is excited about the schools increasing gardening focus. It goes along with more hands-on, authentic learning, which is really a movement with the new Common Core standards, he said. Ms. DAquilas last area of focus for the upcoming year is the expansion of San Antonio High Schools Food Justice Program. She will be stepping in to lend support to Nancy Neiman Auerbach, a Scripps professor who specializes in food politics and has overseen the program for several years. This year, the women hope to offer participation in the Food Justice Program to Oakmont and El Roble, with students heading after school to the continuation school campus for a hands-on experience. San Antonio has some 4,000 square feet of garden, DAquila estimated, including a fruit orchard and a small native garden. Food justice means that people everywhere, including urban environments, have regular access to healthy, freshgrown foods. Its not just an abstract concept for the students of San Antonios Food Justice Program, Ms. DAquila asserted. They learn to cook with fresh in-
gredients and to can and dry produce. They are also regularly sent home with bags of fruit and vegetables, a development by which Ms. DAquila is obviously touched. A growing concern Adversity helped Ms. DAquila find her current avocation. After graduating into an uncertain job market from Vanguard University, Ms. DAquila found herself unable to land a job. With none of her applications panning out, she delved into her hobbies of cooking and gardening and volunteered with nonprofit organizations like Amys Farms, which provides guided tours to students in San Bernardino, Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside Counties. She next volunteered with WWOOF-USA (Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms), where she spent time working on an organic farm in North Carolina. When Ms. DAquila returned to California, she saw a 2010 documentary on the National School Lunch Program called Lunch Line and was moved to tears at the story of sub-par school food endured by US students, particularly those in poor areas. While perusing Jamie Olivers Food Revolution website, Ms. DAquila came across a news item profiling CUSD Nutrition Services Director Rick Cota as a food revolutionary. The article praised Mr. Cota for his extraordinary success in moving Claremont schools away from processed food and for the remarkable in-
crease in school lunch participation he has effected. Intrigued, Ms. DAquila contacted Mr. Cota and learned that the district was floating the Community Garden Coordinator job. She applied and the rest is history. Ms. DAquila says she is delighted by the bump in hours. Its about taking advantage of all of the resources around us, including the Colleges and volunteers in the community, she said. Now, were going to have more time to put into that. Along with Ms. DAquila, hundreds of CUSD students and parents showed up at the Food Faire, sampling foods cooked in Claremonts Nutrition Center, whipped up by local restaurants and grown on nearby farms. The National School Lunch Program has new guidelines this year, calling for 2 servings of whole grain per lunch. At this years event, attendees tasted doublechicken hotdogs on whole-wheat buns, whole-wheat wraps and tacos grilled by Peters El Loco and served on warm corn tortillas. Guests were asked to fill out a survey detailing which food made the grade. The nutrition services crew takes the results of the survey seriously, according to Kim Grier, manager of the cafeteria at Sumner Elementary. If all the people write down that they dont like a food, we wont put it on the menu, she said. Sarah Torribio

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.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call, (714)730-2727 for information regarding the trustee`s sale or visit this Internet Web site, https://www.lpsasap.com/, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 9526-1172. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet Web site.

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 the property itself. Placing the highest bid at trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorders office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 480-5690 or visit this Internet Web site www.tacforeclosures.com/sales, using the file number assigned to this case 21653CA.

In addition, the borrower on the loan shall be sent a written notice if the sale has been postponed for at least ten (10) business days. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.
