Dear Editor: Golden State Water Company is committed to helping Claremont customers preserve natures most precious resource. Ive worked for the company for more than two decades and have witnessed firsthand the tremendous partnership between our professionals and Claremont customers to use water wisely. It was disappointing to read a recent letter to the editor (Water-wise plant sale, Friday, October 11) suggesting we werent doing our part because we were not involved in a water-wise plant sale in Upland. That event was sponsored by the Inland Empire Utilities Agency for providers outside our service area and we were not invited to participate. That doesnt mean we arent actively engaged in an ongoing effort to promote sustainability. Quite the contrary. Golden State Water works closely with residents and community groups to manage water usage. We conducted landscape audits for city parks that resulted in system improvements saving water. Our team worked with the Claremont Unified School District to audit their usage, and is providing more than 4,000 efficient sprinkler nozzles free of charge. We provide surveys to residential, commercial and landscape customers. Turf removal rebates helped replace more than 150,000 square feet of water-thirsty turf with efficient landscaping. Golden State Water also hosts tours of our nearby San Dimas demonstration garden for everyone who wants to learn more about water-wise practices. The Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden is also a great water education and landscaping resource and our company is proud
to help support its great work in a variety of ways. Water use efficiency is not a competition among providers. Its a partnership with the customers we serve. Working together, were all making a positive contribution. Claremont residents can learn more at www.gswater.com/water-use-efficiency.

Val Kilmers one-man show brings Mark Twain to life
hundred years after his death, Mark Twain is alive and well and taking up residence in the Inland Empire.
With the aid of two makeup artists and a fake mustache, renowned actor Val Kilmer resurrects the great American storyteller in his one-man show, Citizen Twain, set to hit the Chaffey High School stage November 8, 9 and 10. Like the man he portrays in his latest production which took him three years to writeMr. Kilmer has worn many hats in his illustrious career. None have been more intriguing to him than that of the satirical author he currently brings to life. You think of Mark Twain as only a writer. Thats what gets all the attention in the five minutes he gets in grade school, Mr. Kilmer said. But for me, he really exemplifies the best kind of American. He makes fun of it, but he has a morality thats really deep too. Becoming Twain was a natural move for Mr. Kilmer, who has long been fascinated by the American author and humorist. Twains tales were a favorite in the Kilmer household, he recalls. His father would regale him with the stories of Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer in his characteristic southern drawl, making for effective storytelling. As his father had a knack for storytelling, Mr. Kilmer developed a talent for theatrics, entering Juilliards drama program as a teenager. His natural inquisitiveness and general interest in history and research served him well in forging the characters he has portrayed both on the screen and on stage. The method actor shows the same attention to detail in recreating Twain. In Kilmer style, Citizen Twain is a character study that delves into the many facets of Samuel Clemens and his sardonic humor about love, life and what it means to be American. We have a right to be proud to be American, but we are very often overproud and I think Twains awareness of our silliness and how bombastic we are is really funny, Mr. Kilmer said. He reminds us that during these times where we seem to be divided by our politics, that is not what defines who we really are as Americans. Mr. Kilmer has made sacrifices in his quest to redefine his artistic career. Twenty-nine years and more than 50 films after his silver screen debut in Top Secret, Mr. Kilmer seeks to broaden his theatrical capabilities. For him that has meant dedicating the past 10 years to his research for a film project, Twain and Eddy, a story about Twain and Mary Baker Eddy, founder of the Church of Christian Science and another important figure in Twains time. Though Twain and Eddy never met, Twain often poked fun at Eddy for the success she wrought from her writings about God, a source of endless amusement and jealousy for Twain, he believes. Mr. Kilmer applies his methodical approach not only to acting, but to his writing as well. His commitment to understanding the characters of his film led him to the development of his one-man show, what he

refers to as a walking and talking exploration of his movies titular characters. His living and breathing film script has traveled from actors workshops to the Pasadena Playhouse and now Chaffey High School and, if Mr. Kilmer has anything to say about it, eventually will grace Broadway and the big screen. I do a Q&A at the end of the play and I do mention that Im fundraising, he joked. I have to start mentioning if you donate $5,000 you get to be in the movie. For the first time in his career, Mr. Kilmer is running the showwriting, producing, directing and acting in Citizen Twain. In jest, he admits hes ready to collapse from exhaustion. Im doing everything. I want to stop. I want to stop right now. In truth, taking on Americas first stand-up comedian, as Mr. Kilmer refers to him, has brought with it new excitement for the veteran actor. Its exhilarating. I have this same kind of physical energy I had when I was a kid about acting, he said. Its just been a daily inspiration. These characters, they love humanity so much and I think I do, but I really dont. Not that much. He explores those differences in his play, touching on racism and sexism and the other dark sides of society in a conversational style. But while Mr. Kilmer and Twain might have their differences, they also have their similarities. I relate to pursuing my art or craft as an individual. Ive always been confident and almost singular in that aim, he reflected. A lot of my contemporaries focus on business or fame and once you kind of get
famous, its not really very hard to always be famous or make a lot of dough. But I was never interested in doing only that. He does, however, remain pleased that so many people remember Nick Rivers from Top Secret. It still makes people laugh. I dont know why, but its flattering, he said. Its nice I seem to come up with something every 10 years or so that lasts. He hopes Twain will leave an equally lasting impression.
ark Twain took on racism and these stereotypes and was successful and independent and still highly regarded, Mr. Kilmer said. Even though he broke all the rules, he was still at the top of his field and made people laughand laughter translates to love. Thats what I hope to get across in this story.
Citizen Twain comes to Chaffey High Schools Gardiner W. Spring Auditorium, 1245 N. Euclid Ave., on November 8 at 8 p.m., November 9 and 8 p.m. and November 10 at 3 p.m. Tickets are $30 regular admission or $80 VIP, including preferred seating and a private meet-and-greet with Twain after the show.

Plans for 60-foot sign tabled as residents speak out
ity officials have indefinitely delayed discussion of a proposed 60-foot retail sign for the corner of Base Line Road and Towne Avenue.
The review was originally set to take place at the Planning Commission meeting on Tuesday, October 15. A letter had been sent out to residents informing them of the date and time of the discussion. However, the item was conspicuously left off Tuesdays commission agenda at the request of City Manager Tony Ramos, who called for the discussion to be postponed in order for city staff to conduct further analysis, according to Brian Desatnik, director of community development. It was really just a request for some additional research on the sign issue, the type of sign, the requirements of commercial users and various other things, Mr. Desatnik said. It is unknown when the review will take place. Instead, Claremont residents took it upon themselves to jump-start the public discussion. Ten residents took to the council chambers podium during Tuesday nights public comment period to voice their disapproval of the citys disregard of the longstanding sign ordinance, which states that freeway signs are not allowed to exceed a height of 45 feet above the freeway grade. Upholding values is important, noted Janet Peddy, director of finance, planning and operations at The Webb Schools, located near where the sign would be placed. A 60-foot sign will alter the character of our neighborhood, but its presence also thumbs its nose at the planning ideals that youby charge and functionare meant to uphold. The proposed sign would support a potential small retail development at the southeast corner of Base Line Road and Towne Avenue, according to the city letter mailed out to residents. The develop-
Head of Schools Taylor Stockdale from The WebbSchools addresses the Planning Commission to oppose a 60-foot tall sign proposed for vacant land adjacent to the school. COURIER photos/Steven Felschundneff Planning Commission member KM Williamson, left, and Commission Chair Jeff Hammill listen to the comments of a Claremont resident on Tuesday during the commissions meeting. About a dozen residents voiced opposition to plans for a potential retail development, including a 60-foot sign, at the southeast corner of Towne Avenue and Base Line Road. The proposed sign had been withdrawn from the commissions agenda prior to the meeting but the public still came out to register opposition.
ment is located within the citys mixeduse zoning district, which allows commercial uses to be located on the corner. The zone does not, however, allow tall signs for those developmentsnor should it, according to Claremont resident Lowell Walker. Mr. Walker said he was concerned about the additional traffic a large freeway sign might generate. In his nine years living in the neighborhood next to this busy intersection, Mr. Walker says he has seen problems with the busy freeway on-ramp and off-ramp escalate. He asserts the city should be doing less, not more at this already congested corner. I just see this [sign] as adding to what is already a bit of a problem, Mr. Walker said. Many of those at Tuesdays meeting spoke in favor of keeping the currently undeveloped southeast lot as residential only. The developer, City Ventures, had
initially planned to build a residential and retail center at the site. But at a Planning Commission meeting in June of this year, City Ventures instead contended that they would build only a 95-townhome residential complex with no retail. City Ventures steered away from a commercial or mixed-use development, citing constraints of the lot, the propertys small size and the limited access to the adjacent streets. The request for 60-foot signage to promote retail shops was not made by City Ventures but by city staff who indicated it would like to amend the zone to allow for future retail to be included. Robert Nuez said he was a part of the group involved in designating the Towne Avenue lot as mixed-use. He noted that the groups intention was not for the lot to be developed with nationally-recognized tenants, as the citys letter states, but rather with a professional building, loft or at the Auto Center Drive complex, where he was spotted by a security guard running through a chained-off section of the vacant car lot. Trespassing wasnt his only problem. Mr. Cardiel was spotted running with a knife in his hand, according to Lt. Ciszek. Mr. Cardiel was fueled into flight by methamphetamine, to which he admitted taking. He was arrested. **** The notorious after-work rush hour in the Claremont Village came to a head on Sunday around 6 p.m. when a cyclist was rushed to the hospital after being struck by a car. The driver was pulling out of a space on Yale Avenue when the cyclist, unaware, approached from behind. The driver hit the bicyclist, ejecting him from his bike. He was sent to Pomona Valley to be treated for injuries to his face. Monday, October 14 A game of flag football at Our Lady
storage space. If the desire for more sales tax is driving the citys decision to push for retail development in this space, Mr. Nuez advises city officials to support existing businesses by requesting Caltrans place signage that is typical on freeways indicating the presences of gas, food or lodging. They [City Ventures] have done... their due diligence, along with the community, to sincerely put forth a development that will fit, Mr. Nuez said. I think its fairly abhorrent for the city council or the planning commission or anybody to throw another hoop for them to jump through and ask them to revamp what theyve spent a lot of their time and energy into, as well as the community. Commissioners took note of residents complaints, but in accordance with the Brown Act could not comment on their concerns because city staff had pulled the issue from the agenda. Residents may add their comments on the proposed freeway sign by sending them to PO Box 880, Claremont, CA 91711. For information, contact Associate Planner Luke Seibert at 399-5483.

The owners arrived at the store Friday morning to find the front window had been shattered. Two guitars, valued at $900, were stolen, according to Lieutenant Mike Ciszek. Any information on this crime should be reported to the Claremont Police Department at 399-5411. Sunday, October 13 A Pomona residents route of choice for his early-morning run was only one of many things that landed him in trouble with police on Sunday morning.

of the Assumption became heated when a mother decided to intervene. According to the report, the mother of a player ran out on the field and yanked back an 11-year-old boy because she felt he was being too harsh on her own son, who was much smaller, according to Lt. Ciszek. Upset by her actions, the mother of the 11-year-old filed an act of assault with the Claremont police. Because there is no proof or footage of the incident, theoverzealous mother was not arrested. A report was filed. Tuesday, October 15 Anger over a ticket turned into worse problems for George Copenhavor, 53 of Claremont. Furious for being pulled over, Mr. Copenhavor reportedly slapped the citation book out of the police officers hands, bending the book, according to Lt. Ciszek. A vehicle code violation turned into an additional charge for vandalism.
EDUCATION
CGU professor aims to make real impact on drug abuse
illiam Crano, a Claremont Graduate University psychology professor dedicated to drug abuse prevention, is no stranger to a challenge.
After all, its a field built on slim odds. Countless dollars are thrown at anti-drug education programs, yet only a few make a difference, Mr. Crano acknowledged. Follow-up studies have found that many well-intentioned campaigns, such as Nancy Reagans Just Say No crusade and the This is Your Brain on Drugs ads, have been largely ineffective. Say No to Drugs was evaluated and it was a complete failure. It didnt work, he said. What the campaign didnt tell you was how to say no. Mr. Crano believes too many people launch antidrug campaigns without first consulting what drug education programs have proven effective, and which persuasive techniques have yielded fruit over the years. Sometimes we think we know more than we do, Mr. Crano said. People think they can create an antidrug message and it will work based on its brilliance. Mr. Crano, the author of a book on persuasion called The Rules of Influence: Winning When Youre in the Minority, is a fellow of the American Psychological Association and the Association for Psychological Science. He wishes he could be more optimistic about which methods will win kids away from drugs. As a social scientist, however, he wont celebrate a campaigns victory unless there are numbers to back it up. The programs that do work, Mr. Crano said, reach kids by giving them specific communication tools to ward off peer pressure. Its about what do you do when your best friend says, Lets smoke this joint, he said. Parental involvement is crucial Research has also shown that parents are remarkably influential in the choices their children make, regardless of age. Parents know what to say and what to do, Mr. Crano said. Unfortunately, some parents are reluctant to bring up drugs because they assume their children know more about the subject than they do. Being afraid of sounding stupid isnt a valid reason for a parent to avoid such a crucial topic, Mr. Crano said. In some cases, however, it is a good idea for adults to brush up on todays drug culture. Many parents who smoked pot during their youth

view marijuana as relatively harmless, taking a Theyll grow out of it attitude. They might be more concerned if they knew marijuana has increased 13 times in potency since the 1970s. Some drugs that had recreational use when you were a teenager aint so recreational anymore, Mr. Crano said. Other parents dont talk to their kids about drugs because they want to give them space, but this kind of laissez-fair attitude can be costly. When researchers ask kids about their behavior and attitudes when it comes to drugs, a number who initially reported, I dont use marijuana and I never will will have become users by the third year, Mr. Crano related. One of the commonalities among those kids, he said, is a significant drop in parental monitoring. Keeping it real Mr. Crano may be cautious about declaring which methods of drug abuse education work, but he is emphatic about which do not. One of the least effective drug deterrents is a scare
campaign, which he said could spur a backlash. As an example, Mr. Crano cites a recent commercial that shows a young man basically turning into a zombie after using Molly, a popular club drug that is a powdered form of MDMA or ecstasy. Youll get a kid saying, My best friend has been using it for the last three months, and he didnt turn into a zombie, Mr. Crano said. Research in the lab suggests that if you get adolescents to form an expectation of This drug will mess me up and its disconfirmed, they are much more likely to use drugs. Despite the difficulties of preventing young people from using drugs, Mr. Crano remains committed because the stakes are so high. The brain hasnt fully developed until 21. Heavyduty drugs affect development and not in a good way, he said. Going global Mr. Crano has recently been asked by the US DeDRUG ABUSE PREVENTION continues on page 8

In this bad, the treats are the tricks

by John Pixley
h, Horror of Horrors! Oh, Terror of Terrors! It is that time again! As the nights get longer and it gets colderor at least cooleronce again, it is the time when we look forward to that darkest of all nights, when you rise up in all your ghastly glory. Yes, it is once again that time when your night of nights, All Hallows Eve, is approaching ever more quickly!
And, as usual as this most auspicious night nears, it is the highest honor and greatest privilege for me, as your most humble and loyal minion, to come before you and offer salutations. I also, as always on this awesome occasion, have the distinct delight in reporting to you at least some of the dubious doings of the mortals here in Claremont, as fair as they proudly claim to be. I am well aware that October 31 is two weeks off, that youll be hearing from many, many others taking this annual opportunity to greet you. No doubt, oh, Sultan of the Sad, even you will be blue in the face from hearing about the shutdown of the US government and the even more ominous threat of the federal debt ceiling not being raised, dangerously flirting with a possible global economic meltdown. Although it will surely please you to no end that this huge, sorry mess was causedat least to start withby a relatively few Congress members having a temper tantrum. And through holding the government and economy hostage like a terrorist following your lead, trying to dismantel or delay the affordable healthcare acta law already enacted, validated by the Supreme Court and well underwayI think even you, with your insatiable appetite, will have your fill. The goings-on here in Claremont may not have been so dramatic and with consequences so dire, but I am happy to tell you that they have their own flair (as with most things in Claremont). Take what happened in the late Spring, oh, Captain of the Curious, when the City Council here was trying to decide what to do about a petition put out by Mayors Against Illegal Guns calling for anti-gun measures. After the mayor and another council member objected to getting involved in a national issue, the council voted to authorize the mayor to sign the petition should he
observer
later decide to do so rather than direct the mayor to sign it. Then, in a twist that you would adore, the city attorney announced that, if the mayor was unable or refused to take action, the vice mayor, who didnt object to the signing, could step into his shoes and do so. To be sure, the anti-gun petition was popular among Claremonters, Im sure youve heard plenty about how these mortals are upset, and some literally up in arms, about all these perfectly horrendous mass shootings, such as at the elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, and the movie theater in Aurora, Colorado. (By the way, I might as well tell you that Gabrielle Giffords, the congresswoman youve no doubt heard about who was severely injured in one of these shootings in Tucson, Arizona, was recently honored by her alma mater right here in Claremont, Scripps College.) Even so, this maneuvering left many scratching their heads. Then, oh, Bishop of the Befuddled, theres the beautiful mess that is the parking situation at the ever so popular Wilderness Park, with nearly residents screaming bloody murder - yes, you would love it! - about their streets being inundated by park visitors and their cars. Add in confusion over when the park opens and closes (dawn and dusk were supplanted by a complex rotation of times) as well as an ingeniously inane proposal to charge those from outside Claremont a higher fee for parking and you have quite a delectable sinkhole. Its enough to make even me scratch my head. What were people thinking? Or were they? After the big undertaking to get the land for the park, with claims that it is beautiful and precious, why is everyone shocked (shocked!) that the masses are coming? City officials and planners keep saying that they are improving the situation, but, as far as I can tell, the mess just keeps going on. But, then again, oh, Dean of the Demented, as I may have mentioned in the past, Claremont seems to do things halfway, half-assed, half-bakedpick your poi-
son. Like the Village, it wants people to come (they bring revenue, after all) but not too many or not the wrong kind. It is too badI mean, goodthat theres no longer a weekly summer street fair in the Village. And why Claremont hasnt gone ahead and gotten a Whole Foods Marketsurely it would get support hereis a wondrously confounding mystery. These folks confuse small town with small-time or smallminded. Heres another example of this: Although there are some people in Claremont who are trying to help the homeless herenow that it is finally acknowledged that there are more than a few homeless people in Claremontthere are plenty who no doubt wish the homeless were banned and who are upset about there being group homes in Claremont for recovering addicts, the developmentally disabled and foster kids. Im sure it will warm the cockles of whatever heart you have to hear that the impending release nearby of Christopher Hubbart, the notorious Pillowcase Rapist known for sexually assaulting over 40 women in California, from prison, even if he is to be heavily monitored, isnt helping. Last month, oh, Ayatollah of the Agonized, there was a big fire in town. Although it was nothing like the huge fire on the foothills some years ago that destroyed an entire enclave of homes and rained down ashes on Claremont for days, it took place at the Bernard Field Station, a disputed piece of land owned by the colleges known to inflame passion in people. And passions are also inflamed over another piece of land nearby owned by the colleges, with many Claremonters outraged that the golf course is slated to close soon, saying that the colleges are being a bad neighbor. There have also been inflamed passions over trees having to be cut down in a neighborhood, because the sidewalks are being damaged, and there continue to be a slew of passionate letters in the local paper concerning national politics, reflecting the beautifully bitter partisian division in this country. It will no doubt tickle even you pink to hear that a man just recently wrote a letter to the paper saying that his wife, Pamela Stevenson, received such a vitriolic letter, sent anonymously and apparently intended to another Pamela Stevenson. Ah, yes, what fools these mortals be!

Joe has the right combination of practical and personal experience to serve the families of Claremont, La Verne and Pomona. Joe is a person of outstanding integrity in whom I have great trust. Please join me in supporting Joe Salas for school board on November 5th.

Quality school education
Dear Editor: The reader comment submitted by Marc Merritt (October 4) caught my eye. He referred to a school board candidate statement about the boundaries determining which students attend which elementary schools. Mr. Merritt wrote, The fact is that certain schools are considered more desirable than others. This is important. I write this commentary not to debate the boundary issue but to ask a set of questions. Some Claremont elementary schools are, in fact, considered more desirable than others. It has been that way for the 40 years I have lived in Claremont. My question is, why? Shouldnt this be a major, and maybe the most important, school board issue? We have elementary schools in the Claremont school district that are substandard. Everybody knows it. Who is going to step up and
do something about it? If inter-district transfers are the problem, then why are they allowed? If they are going to be allowed, then why not an equal share to each Claremont elementary school? Do the children of Claremont residents who live in one area of Claremont deserve a better education than others? If inter-district transfers are affecting the quality of education for the child of any Claremont resident, why are they allowed? I think that Claremont voters need to hear from each school board candidate. What will they do to ensure that every student attending every Claremont school has the opportunity to get a firstclass education? When it comes to electing school board members, most voters dont have a clue who to vote for so very few people bother to vote. COURIER reporter Sarah Torribio wrote an article in the October 4 issue featuring one of the candidates3/4 page, no substance. If Sarah were to interview each candidate and ask some real questions, like where they stand on this most important set of questions, she might turn this into a contest where the candidates debate real issues and earn our vote.

READERS COMMENTS
Climate change is the greatest environmental challenge of our lifetime. As the VP for Advocacy of the League of Women Voters of the Claremont Area, I am proud to stand in support of the Presidents plan to cut carbon pollution from new power plants and fulfill his commitment to people, not polluters. Power plants are the largest emitter of life-threatening carbon pollution in our country and the leading cause of climate change. Carbon pollution has deadly effects on the health of our children, seniors and our environment. Climate change comes at a high cost to all of us, contributing to more frequent storms and deadly weather that results in billions of dollars of recovery costs for local communities every year. Reducing the amount of carbon pollution from power plants is a life-saving measure that will protect our children, our nation and the world from the devastating effects of climate change. The League of Women Voters of the Claremont Area looks forward to working with the EPA to implement life-saving measures to protect our children, our nation and our world from the damaging effects of climate change.
Ellen Taylor VP for Advocacy, LWV
The EPA and carbon pollution
Dear Editor: I was pleased when the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed a carbon pollution standard for new power plants. These new standards are an important step in the fight against climate change that President Obama foreshadowed in a critical speech just a few months ago.
Forums offered by think tank
Dear Editor: On October 13, I attended a public forum, The Affordable Care Act [Obamacare]: How Will it Affect You? The forum consisted of a principal speaker,
Dr. Gerald Komnski, director of UCLAs Center for Health Policy Research, and a group of seven expert discussants representing various institutions whose members will be affected. A Q and A session followed. It was altogether excellent: clear, quite comprehensive, very informative and timely. I only wish more of us had been there. The Affordable Care Act has many parts and implications for all of us. People are struggling with decisions about their health care right now. Health care is important. There is a great deal of misinformation about the ACA being presented to the public by those on the right. So, this forum filled a great public need. A little research has revealed that the forum was one of an ongoing series sponsored by The American Institute for Progressive Democracy (TAIPD), a Claremont-based think tank concerned with issues of public policy. Although founded seven years ago by members of the Democratic Club of Claremont, it is in no way affiliated with that club or the Democratic party. TAIPD is broadly progressive, however vehemently non-partisan. You can learn more about TAIPD by visiting its website: www.taipd.org. So, I want to thank the TAIPD for organizing the event. Its next forum, March 1, 2014, concerns water issues here and worldwide. I will certainly be there and hope you will as well. Such forums and public discussions are among the things that make living in Claremont extraordinary.

DRUG ABUSE PREVENTION continued from page 3
partment of State to help craft a universal drug abuse prevention curriculum for 26 countries in Asia and the Pacific. His efforts, in which he is joining nine other leading drug prevention researchers, will focus on member nations of The Colombo Plan for Cooperative Economic and Social Development in Asia and the Pacific. Some of these face the highest rates of drug abuse in the world and have yet to institute any prevention programs. Mr. Crano recently traveled to Kazakhstan in this capacity, where he met with drug prevention specialists from throughout Central Asia. Countries like Afghanistan are facing enormous problems with heroin and opium abuse, to which children are especially vulnerable, Mr. Crano shared. The women in some areas of the country make rugs and when the kids get restless, they feed them opium or heroin to quiet them down, he said. In other cases, parents will give their child opium or heroin if theyre hungry and there is no food available, Mr. Crano marveled. Its astonishing but its sort of customaryits been done there for a long time, he said. Weve got to change the whole culture. It seems almost beyond hope, but Im sure that its probably soluble with the right ideas. Mr. Crano first began consulting with the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime a couple of years ago, helping craft standards for drug prevention, marshalling what works and what doesnt. The charge grew to lets see if we can propagate those standards throughout these nations, Mr. Crano said. The countries Mr. Crano looks to help are myriad, from Australia to Myanmar and from Pakistan to Papua New Guinea. It will involve a long process of acclimating to the specific drug problems and culture of each nation.

The value of Claremonts trees

by The Tree Action Group of Sustainable Claremont
emember the old adage about the man who knows the cost of everything but the value of nothing? Many of the most precious things in life fresh air, natural beauty, cohesive communitiesare given short shrift in decision-making because they cannot easily be assigned an economic value.
Demystifying
SUSTAINABILITY
to make tough decisions, and valuable trees are often removed in the name of sound fiscal management and cost efficiency. Managing for sustainability requires us to seek enduring solutions that support the environment, the economy and social equity, sometimes referred to as the 3 Es. Most management outcomes are measured in dollars. So in order to compare the merits of our decisions in all 3 realms, it would be helpful if we could measure environmental and societal effects in dollars, too. Can we ascribe an economic value to trees? Tree appraisal systems have been widely used since 1951, when the Council of Tree and Landscape Appraisers (CTLA) published the first edition of its Guide for Landscape Appraisal. Since then, methods of tree appraisal have evolved. Today there are more than 30 software packages developed for efficiently managing tree inventories and valuations. Originally focused on trees as propertyuseful in real estate appraisals and litigationtree appraisal systems have broadened their scope to include the environmental and societal impacts of trees. i-Tree, an open source software system released by the USDA Forest Service in 2007, calculates the asset value of a tree based on its annual benefits for energy conservation, air quality improvement, CO2 reduction, storm water control, property value increases and aesthetic value. It also incorporates GIS mapping and a phone-friendly application for mobile data collection. How much is a tree worth? Some trees have particular local significance. In 2010, when a company installing a traffic signal irreparably damaged the Dutch Elm at Indian Hill and Tenth Street, the city collected a settlement of $79,000, based on the trees appraised value. Ordinary trees are worth less, but it is not unusual for a mature tree on a residential property to have an asset value of $1,000 to $10,000, and to confer annual benefits of $500 or more. Generally speaking, the larger the tree and the greater its leaf surface area, the greater its annual benefit and
the higher its asset value. We may choose to cut down a mature tree and replace it with a sapling, but when we do so, we are actually destroying a productive asset and replacing it with one that will not achieve equivalent value for many years to come. How tree valuation can help us manage our urban forest Although the city of Claremont has a tree inventory system that calculates the value of trees, data from that system rarely enters into our public decision-making processes. Doing so could help us to make better decisions about the care and management of our urban forest. For example: Our Sustainable City Plan urges us to expand our urban forest. Using the asset values from our tree inventory as an indicator could help us to know whether we are achieving that objective. What would be the effect of a major blight on a species of street tree? Forecasts based on data in our tree inventory could enable us to plan for such an eventuality. Tree inventory data could help us set appropriate penalties for people who damage city trees or remove them without authorization. When residents or private developers request the removal of city trees, data from our tree inventory could provide an objective assessment of the cost to the community of doing so. What would be the net costs and benefits to our local environment and community of the proposed removal of city trees to accommodate hardscape repair or private development? Data from our tree inventory software could make it easier to find out. In fact, all of our tree policies would be clearer and easier to understand if they were tied to the value and benefits of trees.
The Tree Action Group (TAG) of Sustainable Claremont is dedicated to education about the care and value of trees, and improving the policies and practices concerning the trees of Claremonts urban forest. For more information, or to join the TAG mailing list, email trees@sustainableclaremont.org. Interested Claremonters are also invited to attend two citysponsored workshops on tree policy on November 7 and December 5. (Check the city website for details.)
Trees, of which our city is duly proud, are a perfect example. They deliver a host of benefits to our community. At a time when the earth is getting hotter at an alarming pace, they cool our city, reducing energy spent on air conditioning. They sequester carbon dioxide, a major cause of global warming. They remove particulates from the air we breathe. They retain precious water in the soil. They moderate the force of winds that blow in from the desert. Trees shade and cool our roadways, slowing the deterioration of asphalt and reducing repaving costs by as much as 60 percent. Tall trees transit the borders between the natural world and the built environment, connecting us to the broader ecosystem. They provide habitat for wildlife, especially raptors like hawks and owls that are essential to keeping rodent populations in check. Trees have important psychological and health benefits. Studies have shown that merely looking at a tree improves rates of recovery from illness. Students have greater success in school when their home study area provides a view of trees. Trees give us peace and quiet, reducing ambient noise, like the roar of the 10 and 210 freeways. For all of these reasons, trees have a positive effect on property values, increasing them by as much as 10 15 percent. Consider the attractiveness of a tree-shaded home or a tree-lined street and you quickly understand why our city of trees is a desirable place to live. Measuring for better management While positive qualities of trees have been appreciated for many years, trees are often regarded as amenities, whose benefits are difficult to quantify. As a result, when the hard costs associated with the care and maintenance of trees are compared to the intangible benefits they confer, hard-nosed managers are inclined

Activist Maria Guiardad visiting Claremonts Pilgrim Place

Maria Guardado, a noted activist for many years before, during and after the tumult of time when American nuns and Salvadoran priests were murdered by infamous death squads, reportedly trained by an organization called School of the America. A civil war was in its beginnings and the military was conducting massive roundups of suspected enemies of the state. Ms. Guardado was captured on January 2, 1980 and tortured by paramilitary forces, then left for dead on the street. Ms. Guardado fled her country and received political asylum in the United States in 1983 and has since immersed herself in the struggle for human rights and social justice. She continues to be a major activist in the Los Angeles area and across the country. There will be two opportunities to hear about those activities on Wednesday, October 23first at a womens perspective program at 11 a.m. in Decker Hall at Pilgrim Place then at 4 p.m. at Honnold Mudd Library at The Claremont Colleges. Both programs are free and open to the public. Ms. Guardados activities in human rights and social justice have continued throughout her time in the United States. She has remained involved in the drive to close the School of the Americas and is active in TASSCTorture Abolition and Survivors Support Coalition. She has spoken at countless universities, churches and community organizations, and has taken part in marches and rallies throughout the US. A documentary film, Testimony: The Maria Guardado Story, has won numerous awards. She is also a poet, and has authored the recently released Poemas. A 10story mural of Maria was painted by El Mac in 2012 on the Avenida Reforma in Mexico City in honor of her courage and work as an unrelenting fighter for social justice.

Virginia D. Brophy, a two-year resident of Claremont, died peacefully on October 9, 2013 after a short illness. She was 84. She was born in Duluth, Minnesota in 1928, one of eight children, to John and Dorothy Newman. She attended Catholic school for all of her 12 school years, and graduated from Cathedral High School in the class of 1946. She married Jack M. Nelson in 1953 and lived in the Inland Empire with him until his death in 1990. During her marriage, she attended San Bernardino Valley College, and together they raised four children. She last worked for San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District and retired in the 1980s. In 1992, she married Frank L. Brophy, and they had many happy years in Oceanside, California before his death in 2011. Mrs. Brophy was a longtime member of The Questers, an international organization whose purposes are to stimulate an appreciation of antiques and collectibles and to encourage the preservation and restoration of antiquities and historic sites. It was a cause close to her heart. She most recently was a member of the El Camino Real chapter, and previously had been a member of the Zanja chapter for many years. At one time or another, she held the office of president in both chapters. She loved to garden, and helped design the gardens in her last three homes. She also enjoyed reading and traveling. She and her late husband took many trips and cruises over the years of their marriage. One of her favorite places to visit was her hometown of Duluth, Minnesota, where her sister Carol still resides, along with some of her childhood friends. Mrs. Brophy made many friends at Claremont Manor where she resided the last two years, and will be missed by them. She liked having family visit her at her home there. She enjoyed shopping and collecting a variety of items, and many of her lovely things will continue to be enjoyed by her children and grandchildren. She was most recently a member of the Our Lady of the Assumption parish in Claremont.

Alice Clevenger Gable

Educator, storyteller, beloved matriarch
Alice Clevenger Gable died peacefully on Friday, October 4, 2013 at Pilgrim Place Health Center. She was 106 years old. Mrs. Gable was born on December 23, 1906 in Gove, Kansas to John and Harriet Downing. When Mrs. Gable was 5, her mother came to Los Angeles with young Alice and her five siblings to begin a new life for her family. Mrs. Gables mother taught in many schools in southern California and saw to it that all of her children graduated from college. Mrs. Gable attended Huntington Beach High School and graduated from UCLA with a teaching credential. Thus she began her 45-year career in education as a teacher and principal in various southern California communities. Her initial job was in Imperial Valley where on her first day of school, 80 children were in attendance. It was so hot that crayons melted in the students hands, according to Mrs. Gable. In Imperial Valley, Mrs. Gable met her husband, Tom Clevenger, who was a farmer there. They had two children, the late Mark Clevenger and Barbara MacKenzie, a longtime resident of Claremont and now of Upland. After 45 years of marriage, Tom died in 1975 in Hemet. Mrs. Gable taught in Imperial, San Diego, Riverside and Los Angeles counties before finishing her career in Hemet. Her many students remember her with great affection. In 1983, Mrs. Gable married Dr. John Gable in Hemet. They were able to travel extensively before he died in 1993. Mrs. Gable loved to talk and write about family stories of the past. She wrote in her memoir, I have so many
OBITUARIES
memories that Ive collected through the yearsdreams, thoughts, feelings and favorite family times. I share them as a legacy of love, a personal connection with your past. I have no favorite age. I have loved all stages of life. I even think being ancient has its rewards. Mrs. Gable is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Barbara and Doug MacKenzie, by 7 grandchildren, by 13 great-grandchildren and by 4 greatgreat-grandchildren. Mrs. Gable was buried in the San Jacinto Valley Cemetery on October 9. A celebration of her life will be held on November 2, 2013 at 2 p.m. at Claremont United Church of Christ, 233 W. Harrison Ave. in Claremont. The family suggests that memorial donations be made in Alice Gables name to the Early Childhood Center at Claremont United Church of Christ.

Rachel Gage
Social worker, volunteer, beloved wife and mother
Rachel E. Gage, a longtime resident of Claremont, died on Wednesday, October 2, 2013. She was 97. Mrs. Gage was born on December 8, 1915 in Edwardsville, Pennsylvania, the only child of Mary Jane and Richard Rosser. Both her parents were born in Wales and, like most Welshmen, enjoyed singing and were soloists in their church choirs. Mrs. Gage also sang in Bach choirs, the Baptist Temple Choir and the chorus at the University of Pennsylvania, where they joined a performance by Fred Waring. In 1920, the family moved to nearby Kingston after a mine explosion endangered Edwardsville. Mrs. Gage graduated from Kingston High School and then Bucknell University. She received a masters degree in psychiatric social work from the Penn School. She was working on her doctorate when she decided to join the war effort. During WWII, social work was done for the military by the military welfare division of the American Red Cross. Mrs. Gage joined in 1943 and was stationed at Darnell General Hospital and Valley Forge General Hospital. After working with the Army for several years, she asked for a transfer to the Navy to see how they worked with patients. She was sent to Bathesda Naval Hospital and stayed there for the remainder of the war. While in Washington, DC, she met both General Eisenhower and President Truman. After the war, she joined the staff of Lyons Veterans Hospital in New Jersey, where she was able to follow through with patients she had seen rector of social services and later acting director of the facility. She left in 1964 to accept a temporary position working with autistic children and then was hired by McKinley Home for Boys to be their director of social service, a position she held until her retirement in 1981 when she left due to her husbands illness. Dr. Gage predeceased her in 1993 after 45 years of marriage. She was a member of Pilgrim Congregational Church in Pomona and was on their Lay Visitation Committee. She volunteered at After Stroke with her husband, working with those recovering from strokes and their families. She volunteered three nights a week with a group that later went on to become Tri-City Mental Health. She shared her war experiences and social work expertise with classes at several colleges. She belonged to the Academy of Social Workers and was a licensed clinical social worker. She was deeply committed to Native

In 1947 while attending a social work conference, she was recruited by an official from the California Department of Mental Hygiene to set up the social service department at Patton State Hospital. While there, she helped to reactivate a chapter of the National Association of Social Work. A year later, she married Dr. Gage and moved to Orange County where he was employed and where two years later their daughter Megan was born. She and her family moved to Claremont in 1953 and she lived in the area ever since. When she volunteered to help at the David and Margaret Home for children, they instead hired her to be the di-
American groups and she and her husband visited the Hopi reservation to meet the two boys they had sponsored. She served on the Board of Education in Running Strong for American Indian Youth. Mrs. Gage is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Megan and William Parnell of Montclair, and her step-son, Edward Gage of Las Vegas and Hawaii. She has many cousins in Pennsylvania as well as her special cousin Jean Bell and her family in Australia. In keeping with her wishes, there will be services Friday, October 18 at 2:30 p.m. at Forest Lawn, Covina Hills (21300 Via Verde Drive in Covina), where she will be buried next to her husband. Todds Memorial Chapel is in charge of arrangements. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the library of the Pilgrim Congregational Church in Pomona, to the American Red Cross or to any charity of choice.

Compelling exhibit brings Holocaust home for El Roble students
B
ens.
ridges Auditorium is known for its architectural beauty, particularly for its ceiling depicting the heav-
By contrast, the Pomona College theater recently played host to a traveling exhibit called The Courage to Remember, which offered a glimpse into the hell that was the Nazi Holocaust. On Monday and Tuesday, some 500 El Roble eighth graders took a field trip to see the exhibit, which was created by the Museum of Tolerance in 1988. Set up in Bridges lobby, the display consisted of 40 panels featuring 200 photographs and text divided into four themes: Nazi Germany, 1933-1938; Moving Toward the Final Solution, 1939-1941; Annihilation in Nazioccupied Europe, 1941-1945 and Liberation: Building New Lives. The trip was spearheaded by El Roble English teacher Heather Lyn, who accidentally learned about the exhibit while looking into Nutcracker tickets for her 6-year-old daughter. She realized the exhibit would be the perfect venue to provide historical background as her students prepare to read The Diary of Anne Frank. Theyve not yet hit World War II in their history curriculum yet, so its up to the English teachers to frontload them before reading the play, Ms. Lyn said. In these days of tight funding, its a rare occasion when El Roble students take a field trip. The Bridges expedition was possible because the exhibit was free and local and because the district recently freed up a bit

of transportation money, according to Ms. Lyn. El Roble English teacher Linda Atherton noted that The Courage to Remember doesnt sugar-coat history. It highlights how anti-Semitism in Germany gradually worsened until countless Jews were exterminated; how the world community, including the United States, failed to intervene; and how the horrors of the Holocaust spread across Europe. This is a very serious topic, Ms. Atherton said. You live in the United States long enough and you think this doesnt happen. Its very eye-opening and disturbing. The students encountered photographs of people stripped naked and prepared for execution in the Soviet Union, a description by a death camp administrator of how he gassed Jews with crystallized prussic acid and art created by concentration camp inmates depicting their horrific experiences. One photograph showed a 40-year-old man upon his release from a camp who could easily have passed for 75. I heard about it beforeI know this happenedbut I wasnt very informed on all the details, eighth grader Tristan
LaFon said. There was a lot of death. It was very emotional for people going through this. Its kind of sad that it actually happened, eighth grader Kevin Rosales added. During their visits, delegations of up to 100 students crowded around the large vinyl panels, taking notes. They would later use the information they gleaned to write essays on topics like concentration camps and Kristallnacht, a two-night wave of anti-Jewish violence that swept Germany as well as Austria and areas of Czechoslovakia in 1938. Its mind-boggling that it was this bad, that so many people passed, eighth grader Angelina Kocharyan said of the devastation. Its upsetting that nobody tried to stop it. On Tuesday, a number of community members also traveled to Pomona College, seizing the chance to view the exhibit before its Wednesday closing. These included Joan Gerard, an Upland resident who attends Temple Beth Israel in Pomona. Ms. Gerard has made a point of visiting a number of such displays, from the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC to Yad Vashem, Israels Holocaust museum.
Eighth grade English students Andrew Brands, Omar Moreno, Ali Hale and Linda Navarro take notes while studying a panel at the Museum of Tolerances traveling exhibit, The Courage to Remember.
Its good that the community as a whole can have access to this information, which is very important that we not forget, Ms. Gerard said. On Monday morning, a number of Ms. Lyns students had an unforgettable encounter as they got off their bus and headed for the exhibit. A woman who
was leaving in tears told the group that she had lost her entire family in the Holocaust in Poland. The kids were in shock. Their jaws dropped and they were a little weepy. And the girls went to hug her, Ms. Lyn said. Sarah Torribio

The Wolfpack girls varsity team nearly had a cleansweep of the top five races, but settled for three topfive finishes in the three-mile run. Annie Boos finished second with a time of 18:45.5 and teammates Merin Arft and Reily McLachlan crossed the line moments later, finishing third and fourth with times of 19:05.7 and 19:14.6, respectively. Kiana Cavanaugh finished just outside the top five at No. 6 with a time of 19:25.6. Head coach Rob Lander was impressed with the way the girls ran early on, especially McLachlan, who put in one of her most impressive performances this fall, according to Coach Lander. Our girls ran a very nice team race, he said. Annie [Boos] was our first girl. Riley McLachlan had one of her better races of this season. She stepped up very nicely. Ayalas Sydney Tullai edged out Claremonts top runners with an impressive performance, topping the Wolfpack and the rest of the field by nearly 20 seconds. The Wolfpack finished with 25 points to win the race,
14 points better than second-place finisher Ayala. Claremonts mens varsity team would mirror the performance of its girls team with a first place finish of their own, totaling 39 points to top two tough opponents, Ayala and Damien. Jonah Ross put in the top performance for the Wolfpack as he locked up third place with a time of 16:08.8. Anthony Ceccarelli rounded out the top five with a time of 16:12.1 after narrowly missing a fourth-place finish by two seconds. Damiens Eric Stevens edged him out in the end with a time of 16:10.4. Coach Lander noted the teams unity and ability to stick together throughout the course of the meet as a key to their overall finish in Wednesdays league meet. [We had] some very good team racing, Coach Lander said. [We had] a lot of packing and teamwork, which is what we always emphasize. The girls junior varsity team put in the most dominating performance of the day, claiming four of the top five spots in their three-mile run.

Seans brother, Ryan Renken, finished third with a time of 17:15.5 Most programs would be happy coming out on top in four out of five events, but Coach Lander and the Wolfpack felt like the possibility of a cleansweep was not farfetched.

yards and a touchdown on 20 carries. Senior wide receiver Baron Franklin hauled in six catches for 121 yards, a 20.17 yards-per-catch average. The area where Ayala separated itself was on defense. It recorded three sacks and five tackles for loss to go along with its one interception. Aside from Claremonts lone interception, they were only able to generate one sack.

Claremont lost, 17-14, in a defensive battle last Friday night against Sierra League foe Ayala. Both the Wolfpack and the Bulldogs surrendered an interception, but it was Ayalas senior quarterback, Brian
Meyette, who was able to connect with his receivers for two touchdowns. Claremont senior quarterback Craig Myers was held without a touchdown. On the ground, neither team was able to gain an edge. Claremont finished with 163 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns while Ayala, which used a run-by-committee approach, tallied 164 yards between seven different rushers. Senior running back Cecil Fleming led the Wolfpack rushing attack with 136
At 5-1, the Claremont girls tennis team is off to an outstanding start this season. The Wolfpack are currently riding a three-game win streak and have not lost a match since October 3 when they faced Ayala. During Wednesdays match against Chino Hills, the Wolfpack swept all nine sets in singles play. Sophomores Megan Huang and Hailey Kayatta and sophomore Nikki Rival carried Claremont to an impressive shutout performance. The Wolfpack were engaged in a hard-fought battle with the Huskies in doubles play, but came up short in four sets, despite fighting back to close the
scoring gap in each set. Head coach Lilibeth Katigbak had plenty of things to be impressed about in Claremonts Sierra League victory, which was its second victory against Chino Hills this season. I was most impressed with the growing team spirit and their ability to stay focused under pressure, Coach Katigbak said. As with all winning tiebreaker situations that have happened in the past with our team, I was proud to witness twin sisters, Evelyn and Lelia Kennedy, persevere in their close third round of doubles play against the Chino Hills HS number-one doubles pair. With the first half of the season now in the teams rear view mirror, Coach Katigbak is stressing the importance of growing and playing smart with four regular season matches remaining. The most important aspect I emphasize to my players is continual improvement as we approach the second half of our season, Coach Katigbak said. From here on out, I hope for the team to continue to show improvement in reducing the amount of unforced errors in serves and net play. The Wolfpack took on Charter Oak yesterday, and results will be posted in the next issue.

From personal struggles comes book of hope, inspiration
reat struggle affords great opportunity to those willing to seize it. This is the guiding principle that led Carol Corwin and her husband, Pete Bekendam, from their battle with alcoholism to the founding of Claremonts thriving nonprofit Crossroads, providing transitional housing for incarcerated women.
Her recently-debuted memoir, A Spacious Place, is about the journey. Ms. Corwins tale is as much about her own personal pilgrimage as it is about that of her unconventional family, who helped her lifes purpose take shape over three decades. The title of the book, A Spacious Place, serves not only as the storys settinga capacious home in the Chino dairy land that provided for her kids and their extended siblings, including a handful of foster children, incarcerated women and re-
covering addicts. It also speaks to her lifes work, providing for the marginalized through southern Californias prison ministry. She drew inspiration to open her heart to others from her own experience as the wife of a struggling alcoholic. I used to drive by the [Chino] prison and see the women working outside in the yard. It seemed like a different world, Ms. Corwin said. But then I realized that my life wasnt so different. I was also in a prison of sorts. I knew how it felt to be lonely and isolated, and it inspired me to help. Her desire to help came on full-force; not only did she want to become involved in prison ministry, she wanted to create her very own prison-visiting program at the California Institute for Women in Chino. Not unlike prison life, however, she found herself trapped. The chaplain informed her the prison didnt need any more programs, though he agreed to think about it and get back to her. He never did. She had put her aspiration of launch-
ing a prison-visiting program aside when a chance meeting provided her with her way in. Ms. Corwin and her son had decided on a quick pit stop at Claremonts annual Pilgrim Place Festival when she struck up a conversation with one of the vendors. The vendor mentioned that she often went to Ms. Corwins hometown of Chino to visit women in prison. Her interest was piqued. With the help of the Pilgrim, Ms. Corwin became a part of the Amer-
ican Friends visiting program, eventually becoming the program director. I felt my spirit had leapt out of my body and was dancing in front of the car, she writes. My prayers had been answered. Finally, I had broken into prison. Her involvement with the American Friends would provide her with the network she needed to eventually start her own volunteer program, M-2, matching inmates with visitors from the outside. It would be a partnership that would last for years, and inspire many other areas of giving. Like the need for a halfway house to decrease the number of those going through the prison systems revolving door. Of the 700,000 people released from prison every year, 4 out of 10 will return. The first few months are the most crucial, which is why my husband and I decided to start Crossroads together, to provide a supportive, nurturing environment, Ms. Corwin said. The idea was to keep each house small, like a family, and provide each housemate with a duty not unlike in a family. Ms. Corwins work modeled her own personal life. The 5-member Bekendam clan expanded into a large blended family. The spacious dairy served as a godsend allowing them to open their home

COURIER photo/Steven Felschundeff Carol Corwins memoir A Spacious Place tells the tale of raising a family, including several foster children, on a farm in Chino Hills. Ms. Corwin has lived a life full of helping other people including forming Crossroads, the Claremont home for women who have recently been released from prison. A SPACIOUS PLACE continued from the previous page
to formerly incarcerated women, struggling addicts looking for a new start and children in need of a family. The bustling household and its inevitable mishaps
add color to Ms. Corwins tale, from descriptions of heartwarming family Christmas pageants to anecdotes about the Bekendams spirited dog Bingo and not-so-welcome critters that found their way into the home as detailed in the chapter Bunnies, Bees and Bats.
Amid the occasional chaos, Ms. Corwin remains remarkably composed and calm. She credits her resilience to her strong belief system, which weaves together her memoir of short stories into one cohesive whole. Her faith and the strength it provided would play a large part in keeping her family together when tragedy struck. At age 17, Ms. Corwins son, Michael, died after falling asleep at the wheel and crashing his car. The strong matriarch was overcome with grief. The grief was incredibly difficult. You expect your child to outlive you, she said. Its such a sudden cutoff. Though Ms. Corwin went through what she would consider a healthy grieving process, finding ways to express her bereavement and leaning on others for support, that was not the case for her husband, who took nearly 4 years to go through his grieving. Following Michaels death, Ms. Corwin returned to school to become a psychologist in order to help others, like her husband, through their mourning. She maintains her practice here in Claremont. As if running a practice, leading numerous nonprofit efforts and raising a brood of her own wasnt enough, A Spacious Place is the second book Ms. Corwin has found the time to pen. Her first book, The Prophet and the Pharaoh, was inspired after a trip to Egypt. Her latest offering touches a little closer to home. While her children have grown and gone and the ranch has been sold to developers, their stories remain. Its a living family record, she said. She hopes others will be inspired by their story. Its amazing what wonderful things can happen if you just reach out, she said. A Spacious Place by Carol Corwin is available for purchase on Amazon.com. Beth Hartnett

The exhibition explores the consequences of such acts on the poetic and political dimensions of representation, difference and visibility. Working in photography, moving image and mixed-media, the artists cannibalize and query such archives to create new image repertoires that point to the lacunaethe silences, absences and erasurescontained within prevalent visualhistorical renderings. These critical interventions challenge existing discourses, destabilizing the deeply ambiguous and often surreal taxonomies of raced, sexed and gendered representation. Marking the 50th anniversary of the death of W.E.B. Du Bois, Glyphs presents a slideshow projection of The Paris Albums 1900, a series of portraits originally commissioned by the renowned African American sociologist, activist and scholars groundbreaking American Negro Exhibit for the 1900 Paris World Exposition. Du Bois quintessential counter-archive is positioned in dialogue with those created by the contemporary artists in Glyphs.

Grammy Award winner Ben Harper to perform at Bridges Auditorium

Two-time Grammy Award-winning blues, gospel, roots and R&B musician Ben Harper will perform an acoustic concert at Pomona College on Wednesday, November 6 at 8 p.m. at Bridges Auditorium. The critically-acclaimed artist and his trademark Weissenborn guitar have toured the globe since his 1994 debut Welcome to the Cruel World, which was certified gold in sales in Australia and Canada and platinum in France. In 2003, French Rolling Stone magazine named him artist of the year. Earlier this year, Mr. Harper and harmonica master Charlie Musselwhite released Get Up!, Mr. Harpers 12th studio album, which features 10 vivid musical character studies, all written or co-written by Mr. Harper. In a recent review, USA Today said of Get Up!, Harper gets the essence of the blues when he laments, You found another lover, I lost another friend against Musselwhite's harmonica. It strikes a chord that's tense, urgent and weary. People magazine writes, Harper and the harmonicist make a righteously bluesy twosome, digging into rootsy originals that feel gritted up from decades of dirt and dust. A Pomona native and grandson of Folk Music Center Founder Charles and Dorothy Chase, Mr. Harper won Grammys for Best Pop Instrumental Performance and Best Traditional Soul Gospel Album in 2005. In April, Mr. Harper and Mr. Musselwhite performed for President Obama and the First Lady as part of the In Performance at the White House series. Mr. Harpers upcoming November concert at the Walt Disney Concert Hall is sold out. Bridges Auditorium is located at 450 N. College Way, Claremont.

Kid correspondent weighs in on fun-filled Claremont Day at the fair
eaving school early and going to the LA County Fair is every kids dream. It is famous across the country, and every year it does not fail to disappoint. I headed to the fair on Claremont Day on September 24 with a notebook and pencil, ready to see what adventures were in store.
Before I stepped foot on the Fairplex grounds, however, I stopped by a group from Sycamore Elementary School and talked to some of the students. I was curious to see what some of their favorite parts of the fair were and I got several different answers. Animals, roller coasters and, of course, junk food were by far the most liked attractions at the fair. When I went to the fair a few days later, I kept the students suggestions in mind. Since the animals were especially popular, I made my way to Mojos African Safari first. As soon as my mom and I entered the rainforest, two zebras and two very large camels immediately greeted us. These, however, were only the beginning of all the creatures in this exhibit. There were sections (to name a few) on various reptiles, insects and birds, including a tall Australian emu. I half-expected Indiana Jones to be walking around; the jungle atmosphere that was going on seemed to be straight out of one of his movies. Next stop was the Big Red Barn, a huge petting zoo with every barn animal imaginable. Goats, cows, sheep: I felt like I had been transported to the farm from Charlottes Web. When we got there, we learned that one of the pigs had recently given birth and little piglets
were everywhere! Nearby, there were animal races with ducks, turkeys, andmore pigs. Wilbur, are you here somewhere? After seeing the ever-so-popular barn animals, we took a quick break for lunch. After eating some amazing waffle fries and an almost-foot-long turkey leg, we continued on our merry way. Armed with some great funnel cake, our next destination was clear: The Living Library of Fun. I had very low expectations for The Living Library of Fun, because no kid I talked to even mentioned it. However, I was shocked (in a good way). The Living Library of Fun was very impressive, with painted, towering bookcases and famous titles drawn on them. A massive Wizard of Oz castle stood in the middle of the warehouse; there were props from movies, books and TV shows, such as the TARDIS from Doctor Who and Bilbo Baggins front porch (from Lord of the Rings). Oversized Scrabble and word search games were scattered near the front door, and everything from childrens paintings, to science experiments, to photographs were displayed. The Pencils to Pixels exhibit on Pixar movies was next on our list, and we were not disappointed. There were sections devoted to different kinds of animations complete with hands-on activities: You could create your own stop-motion movie in the stop-animation section, or trace characters in the drawing animation section. (I ended up taking two tracings of characters from
The Croods and Smurfs 2.) There were tons of interactive-type pastimes, and overall the exhibit was very fun. As we were walking around, we passed by the entrance to the Land of Princesses, Knights and Frogs. I remembered a cute little kindergartener girl mentioning how much she loved it, so I decided to check it out. It was small, with a one section devoted to princesses and one to knights. The princess section had a little, entirely-pink cottage, full of cleaning and cooking supplies, while the knight section had dress-up armor and play weapons. I noticed with a smile that there were boys and girls in both sections. After some shopping, we hurried to Broadway to catch the Claremont Parade. Starting with the CHS marching band and color guard, there were floats and other various clubs represented. El Roble followed soon after with their own cheerleaders, hip hop team and band. Overall, I had a lot of fun at the fair, and I didnt even get to everything while I was there! By the time we left, I fully agreed with the students from Sycamore: the fair was an amazing experience. From animals to princesses to parades, the LA County Fair was a total blast!

The Day of the Dead

After youve counted your candy, hung up your Halloween costume and gone to bed, the celebration has just begun for those who celebrate the holiday of El Da de los Muertos or The Day of the Dead. They believe that the dead return to earth to reunite with their families, with the spirits of angelitos or children who have died visiting on November 1 and the spirits of beloved adults returning the following day. The holiday, a blend of Catholic and ancient Aztec tradition, is traditionally celebrated throughout central and southern Mexico. Over time, however, it has spread until it is now observed in the United States, Spain, Central and South America and the Philippines. During this spectral visit, families often head for the cemetery where they visit and clean loved ones graves. Sometimes they will decorate the tombs with flowers, candles and good things to eat, settling down for a picnic with both seen and unseen relatives. An altar or ofrenda may also be constructed in a persons home, honoring and providing treats for dead family members. An ofrenda might include candles, flowers and photographs of those who have passed away. Offerings of food, sweets, beverages and a seasonal bread called pan de muerto are also in order. Statuettes of skeletons engaged in everyday activities and bright sugar skulls add a festive touch. What a colorful welcome!

Boo! Halloween books
A review by Merae Hummer
Halloween Fun by Margaret McNamara This is an excellent book for 1st graders or early readers. It gives great ideas on how to turn your own home into a Halloween play house. The story shows how a group of 1st graders celebrate Halloween in very fun ways. A Happy Haunters Halloween Trick-or-Treat by Debbie Leppanen This is a special book full of a whole bunch of Halloween poems. This book would be good to read to 2nd graders, although adults seem to like it as well. My favorite rhymes were Graveyard and A Vampire Makes a Wonderful Daddy. The author LOVED Halloween as a child, and now she shares Halloween with her own kids and her readers. My 2nd/3rd grade combo class taught by Mrs. Harrison at Chaparral Elementary School picked this one as their favorite book. It won by 19 votes. Five Little Monkeys: Trick-or-Treat by Eileen Christelow This book is a fun book to read in October. It is full of way more tricks than treats. This story puts a new twist on the original story of the five monkeys who keep jumping on their bed. This book has some great recipes such as Lulus Eyeball Cookies and Worm Juice that will make you very hungry. This book is perfect for a kindergarten classroom. Each of these books is available at Mrs. Nelsons Toy & Book Shop in La Verne.
A page out of Jennifer Adams counting book Dracula, illustrated by Alison Oliver.
Dracula by Jennifer Adams. This is a wonderful, amazing picture book that teaches about counting. Some things counted in the book are wolves, garlic flowers and castles. This book is great for helping kids who are learning how to count and want to have fun at the same time. This book would be good to read to kids age 3 or 4, especially during Halloween time. This book is not scary.
Notes from a Hairy-Not-Scary Werewolf by Tim Collins This author uses hysterical comedy to write a book about a teenager named Luke. Luke gets transformed into some sort of animal. He grows fur, a tail and CRAVES road kill! He finds a pack of people like him and starts hanging out with them. They end up going to war with vampires. Luke tries to stop this war. You will have to read this book if you want to see if he is successful. This book is recommended for readers ages 10-14. Fly Guy and the Frankenfly by Tedd Arnold This was a very interesting and short book. This book would be best for 1st, 2nd or 3rd graders. This story has great detailed pictures and bold writing. This story is about a young boy and his friend, Fly Guy. After a day of playing and fun, Fly Guy does not want to go to bed. You will have to read the story on your own to find out why. I loved this book!

A walk on the wild side You and your family are invited to a nature walk called Things That Go Bump in the Night on Saturday, October 19 at the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden. During the walk, which runs from 5:30 to 9 p.m., youll encounter the owls, opossums, spiders and plants that rule the Garden at night. Visitors will follow paths to visit interactive stations exploring the nocturnal world and its amazing critters. Admission to the walk is $8 for adults, $6 for seniors and students and $4 for children, with discounts for Garden members. The Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden is located at1500 N. College Ave. in Claremont. For information, call 625-8767. Feeling corny October 30 is National Candy Corn Day, although the triangular, tri-colored sweet is more commonly associated with the following day, Halloween. Invented by George Renninger, an employee of the Wunderlee Candy Company, candy corn has been around since the 1880s. The Goelitz Candy Company (now Jelly Belly Candy Company) began producing the seasonal speciality in 1900 and still makes candy corn today. According to the National Confectioners Association, more than 35 million pounds of candy corn will be produced this year. That adds up to nearly 9 billion piecesenough to circle the moon nearly 21 times if laid end-to-end. Halloween Spooktacular The City of Claremont and local businesses will sponsor the annual Halloween Spooktacular on Thursday, October 31 in the Claremont Village from 3 to 7 p.m. This event provides children ages 2 to 12 with a memorable experience in an environment that is a safe alternative to traditional door-to-door trick-or-treating. Many local businesses and shops will be participating in handing out candy to children of all ages, starting at 3 p.m. Roving entertainment will be provided throughout the Village and free kids games, entertainment and face painting will be offered from 4 to 6:30 p.m. in front of the Claremont Depot. The fun includes a Howl-o-ween Dog Costume contest from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., a wildlife presentation by The Animal Guys and a childrens costume contest at 6:30 p.m. Admission is free. Call 399-5490 for more information. Winging it As the sun goes down on summer nights, 20 million Mexican free-tailed bats leave Bracken Cave in Texas, ready for their evening feeding. The furry nocturnal mammals, which have a wingspan of 12 to 14 inches, settle into the cave after leaving their winter home in Mexico. It can take up to three hours for largest colony of bats in the world to emerge from Bracken Cave. Upon exit, they make a column so thick it is visible via radar at the local airport. While the exodus may sound a bit creepy, these arent vampire bats. Instead, these helpful creatures eat insects, including mosquitoes and bugs that like to eat farmers crops. Jim Kennedy, of Bat Conservation International in Austin, Texas, says the Bracken Cave bats are a sight to behold. It is magical. It is one of the most majestic animal movements on the planet, he said. You can feel the breeze from their wings, and see the vegetation rustle. The flap of all those wings makes a very relaxing soft sound. Ive always thought it would make a great tape to help you go to sleep. Would the sound of so many wings lull you to sleep, or would it drive you batty?

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDINGS AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. On October 29, 2013 at 09:00 AM, Behind the fountain located in Civic Center Plaza, 400 Civic Center Plaza, Pomona CA 91766, MTC FINANCIAL INC. dba TRUSTEE CORPS, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust Recorded on June 20, 2005 as Instrument No. 05 1434604 of official records in the Office of the Recorder of Los Angeles County, California, executed by BRIAN F SWIENTON AND CATHERINE A SWIENTON HUSBAND AND WIFE AS COMMUNITY PROPERTY WITH RIGHT OF SURVIVORSHIP, as Trustor(s), in favor of SUNTRUST MORTGAGE, INC. as Lender and MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC. as nominee for Lender, its successors and/or assigns, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold "as is". The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 1518 BENEDICT AVE, CLAREMONT, CA 91711 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee`s Sale is estimated to be $404,868.17 (Estimated), provided, however, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary`s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier`s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee`s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder`s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. 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 Priority Posting and Publishing at 714-573-1965 for information regarding the Trustee's Sale or visit the Internet Web site address on the previous page for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08000683-13-1. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

NOTICE TO PERSON SERVED: You are served as an individual. (AVISO A LA PERSONA QUE RECIBIO LA ENTREGA: Esta entrego se realiza a usted como individuo). WARNINGIMPORTANT INFORMATION WARNING: California law provides that, for purposes of division of property upon dissolution of a marriage or domestic partnership or upon legal separation, property acquired
32
by the parties during marriage or domestic partnership in joint form is presumed to be community property. If either party to this action should die before the jointly held community property is divided, the language in the deed that characterizes how title is held (i.e., joint tenancy, tenants in common, or community property) will be controlling, and not the community property presumption. You should consult your attorney if you want the community property presumption to be written into the recorded title to the property. STANDARD FAMILY LAW RESTRAINING ORDERS Starting immediately, you and your spouse or domestic partner are restrained from 1. Removing the minor child or children of the parties, if any, from the state without the prior written consent of the other party or an order of the court; 2. Cashing, borrowing against, canceling, transferring, disposing of, or changing the beneficiaries of any insurance or other coverage, including life, health, automobile, and disability, held for the benefit of the parties and their minor child or children; 3. Transferring, encumbering, hypothecating, concealing, or in any way disposing of any property, real or personal, whether community, quasi-community, or separate, without the written consent of the other party or an order of the court, except in the usual course of business or for the necessities of life; and 4. Creating a nonprobate transfer or modifying a nonprobate transfer in a manner that affects the disposition of property subject to the transfer, without the written consent of the other party or an order of the court. Before revocation of a nonprobate transfer can take effect or a right of survivorship to property can be eliminated, notice of the change must be filed and served on the other party. You must notify each other of any proposed extraordinary expenditures at least five business days prior to incurring these extraordinary expenditures and account to the court for all extraordinary expenditures made after these restraining orders are effective. However, you may use community property, quasi-community property, or your own separate property to pay an attorney to help you or to pay court costs. ADVERTENCIA INFORMACIN IMPORTANTE ADVERTENCIA: De acuerdo a la ley de California, las propiedades adquiridas por las partes durante su matrimonio o pareja de hecho en forma conjunta se consideran propiedad comunitaria para los fines de la divisin de bienes que ocurre cuando se produce una disolucin o separacin legal del matrimonio o pareja de hecho. Si cualquiera de las partes de este caso llega a fallecer antes de que se divida la propiedad comunitaria de tenencia conjunta, el destino de la misma quedar determinado por las clusulas de la escritura correspondiente que describen su tenencia (por ej., tenencia conjunta, tenencia en comn o propiedad comunitaria) y no por la presuncin de propiedad comunitaria. Si quiere que la presuncin comunitaria quede registrada en la escritura de la propiedad, debera consultar con un abogado. RDENES DE RESTRICCIN NORMALES DE DERECHO FAMILIAR En forma inmediata, usted y su cnyuge o pareja de hecho tienen prohibido: 1. Llevarse del estado de California a los hijos menores de las partes, si los hubiera, sin el consentimiento previo por escrito de la otra parte o una orden de la corte; 2. Cobrar, pedir prestado, cancelar, transferir, deshacerse o cambiar el nombre de los beneficiarios de cualquier seguro u otro tipo de cobertura, tal como de vida, salud, vehculo y discapacidad, que tenga como beneficiario(s) a las partes y su(s) hijo(s) menor(es); 3. Transferir, gravar, hipotecar, ocultar o deshacerse de cualquier manera de cualquier propiedad, inmueble o personal, ya sea comunitaria, cuasicomunitaria o separada, sin el consentimiento escrito de la otra parte o una orden de la corte, con excepcin las operaciones realizadas en el curso normal de actividades o para satisfacer las necesidades de la vida; y 4. Crear o modificar una transferencia no testamentaria de manera que afecte el destino de una propiedad sujeta a transferencia, sin el consentimiento por escrito de la otra parte o una orden de la corte. Antes de que se pueda eliminar la revocacin de una transferencia no testamentaria, se debe presentar ante la corte un aviso del cambio y hacer una entrega legal de dicho aviso a la otra parte.Cada parte tiene que notificar a la otra sobre cualquier gasto extraordinario propuesto, por lo menos cinco das laborales antes de realizarlo, y rendir cuenta a la corte de todos los gastos extraordinarios realizados despus de que estas rdenes de restriccin hayan entrado en vigencia. No obstante, puede usar propiedad comunitaria, cuasicomunitaria o suya separada para pagar a un abogado o para ayudarle a pagar los costos de la corte. Publish: 10/04/13, 10/11/13, 10/18/13, 10/25/13

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $229,981.04 If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. 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.

Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. FOR SALES INFORMATION: (714) 573-1965 Date: 10/4/2013 CLEAR RECON CORP.
