e dont often see a situation where a government agency says they want to dramatically reduce their spending and Congress says, No, thanks. Thats pretty much the case as the United States Postal Service (USPS) grapples with billions in losses in 2012 and beyond.
Most folks know the amount of mail delivered each year by USPS is dropping like a rock. The numbers vary, but they hover around 25 percent less since 2006. And this trend is only picking up steam. Its easy to see why, as the digital age continues to change how people communicate and access information in all sorts of ways. But USPS has a plan to help stem the losses. Cuts and reorganization are already happening, but there are a number of fundamental changes that need to be made to stop bleeding. The USPS plan focuses on 3 areas of service that would mean significant pain for residents all over the country. The least popular is the closing of over 3700 of the least-profitable rural post offices all over the country. Since many small towns rely heavily on their post office, this is a big hit for small-town America. The Mt. Baldy post office is the only location in the Claremont area on this list. The other 2 service cuts involve eliminating overnight and Saturday delivery. These are also very unpopular choices, largely due to expectations of the public, concerns from business and the huge amount of mail this would impact. These proposals would also hurt the newspaper industry in a variety of ways. So heres using the COURIER as an example. Although Claremont is located in a highly populated area, thus minimizing any post office closings, as a newspaper we are guaranteed overnight delivery to key zip codes. We print the paper Tuesday and Friday nights, then deliver to our readers on Wednesday and Saturday. If given the chance, USPS would put newspapers in the same delivery category as junk mail, thus adding a day to our delivery time. We already had to fight this issue (successfully) because of current cost-cutting measures. But these cost-cutting proposals happen to be very unpopular with voters, too. Congressional leaders in an election year are

brutally aware of this, especially since there are so many organizations fighting these cuts. The National Newspaper Association (NNA) has been a leader in trying to find alternatives to help USPS solve their budget crisis without cutting many key services or costing taxpayers money. The good news is Congress is involved. The bad news is Congress is involved. Congress has oversight over USPS and has to approve any cuts in services. Thats a good thing because the post office is not particularly adept at making itself more efficient (Im being nice here) and will propose or make changes without looking at the real impact to their business. The NNA has stepped in, supporting and shaping a bill (S. 1789) that focuses on changing how USPS handles their benefit funds, which currently have liberal rules on payments. It also changes the criteria of what is deemed a profitable post office and gives small communities a voice to review all options before closing down a local office. The bill is not a bailout, as so many budget hawks like to call it. But Congress is involved, which means any change will happen slowly (Im being nice again). There are many other ideas on how to handle this mess, so USPS will remain in the news way past the elections in November. For the COURIER, we will sit and watch how things develop. Although changes may be in the wind, its important to remember Claremont has a healthy community newspaper and website, with a lot of public and business support. So whatever happens, we will deal with change and continue to deliver accurate, unbiased news coverage to Claremont residents. If you have an idea or thought on COURIER delivery, Im all ears.

City acquires Foothill Boulevard in long-awaited move

ith a unanimous vote of approval by the Claremont City Council, Foothill Boulevard, from Towne Avenue to the county line before Monte Vista Avenue, now belongs to the city of Claremont.
The decision signified the citys last step necessary to acquire the major roadway from CalCITY trans, and the realization of a decadesCOUNCIL long goal of the city. The ownership will be finalized following the approval of the California Transportation Commission (CTC) next month. I believe control of Foothill Boulevard will be a great benefit to the city and we will be able to move ahead with the needed repairs, said Mayor Larry Schroeder. Throughout the past 10 years, the city has worked with Caltrans, which currently operates the Claremont portion of Foothill Boulevard, with the hope of reclaiming the street, but with little success. Caltrans wanted to relinquish, but when we explained to them what we considered to bring the roadway into a state of good repair, they kind of let it die about 10 years ago, said City Engineer Craig Bradshaw. Senate Bill 993, introduced by Senator Bob Huff in 2010, was created to help the city and Caltrans through the process. A year later, the 2 groups negotiated an agreement, but financial uncertainties made the deal an impossibility at the time. Unfortunately, the timing could not have been any worse, Mr. Bradshaw said. The states economy was in disarray, as it continues to be, and no funding could be located. Recent funds, however, have been identified in the Caltrans Shop, a state highway operations and protections program, within the 2011-2012 budget. As part of the agreement, Caltrans will give the city $5.7 million in funding to begin much-needed repairs and updates to the citys portion of the major roadway, according to Mr. Bradshaw. Updates include repair and additions to sidewalks, curbs and gutters; installation of and updates to handicap ramps; audible pedestrian signals at Mountain, Indian Hill, Mills and Claremont Boulevard, and correcting drainage deficiencies. A majority of the repairs are expected to begin in the summer of 2013, according to the citys report, with $200,000 of safety,

The city of Claremont has recently taken over control of Foothill Boulevard from the State of California which means that maintenance of the corridor will now be handled by city crews. Pictured is the intersection of Foothill and Indian Hill as seen Thursday evening.

traffic and ADA improvements to begin within 6 months of receiving the compensation funds. Some of the improvements not included in the relinquishment compensation include new streetlights, future street resurfacing, undergrounding of existing electrical and utility lines, as well as routine traffic signal electrical maintenance. Routine maintenance of Foothill is expected to cost the city $120,000 annually, which will be funded by available gas tax through fiscal year 2014-2015. City settlement with police ends 6-month impasse The Claremont City Council has given final approval

for a contract with the Claremont Police Officers Association (CPOA) good through 2014. With a 3-2 vote the council approved the memorandum of understanding with the police union, ending nearly 6 months of impasse. The 2 opposing votes came from Mayor Pro Tem Opanyi Nasiali and Councilmember Corey Calaycay, who also voted no on the 4 previously-approved contracts with other employee groups. Mr. Nasiali and Mr. Calaycay believe all groups should be paying their full pension share immediately instead of the contracts taxdeferred basis. Every group will pay their full pension by the end of the contract. Councilmember Joe Lyons felt positively that the neogitaions had at last come to a close. Negotiations are what they are, and in my opinion this has certainly been successful, said Mr. Lyons. I want to thank the negotiators on both sides...for coming to an equitable, fair and impartial decision. With its approval, the city council has now agreed upon contracts with 5 of its 6 employee groups. Negotiations continue with the Claremont Police Management Association. Through the new agreement with the CPOA, which expires in June 2014, the city will save an estimated $311,562, according to Personnel Manager Shawna Urban. This excludes the estimated $7000 in legal fees used for the latest Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) hearing, part of a lawsuit filed by the CPOA after reaching an impasse late last year. In return, the police union members will get a total 5 percent Cost of Living Increase. Forty members will also be given an annual uniform allowance of $400. Cost to the city over the life of the 3-year contract is approximately $435,352. The joint, good faith meet-and-confer efforts have been successful in reaching an agreement that meets the best interest of both parties, Ms. Urban said. With the joint agreement, the CPOA will also drop both of its outstanding lawsuits against the city of Claremont. Members say they are thankful an agreement has been reached, and look forward to a continued focus on public safety and giving back through community events like their annual Tip-A-Cop fundraiser. We are ready to move forward and get back on track with working with the city and the council, said CPOA Vice President Detective Robert Ewing. We are glad to put this all behind us.

Renovation and expansion of Pitzer College Presidents House The Architectural Commission has approved a major renovation and expansion of the Pitzer College Presidents residence at 739 N. Harvard Ave. The historic front portion of the home will be preserved, while a large addition to the rear and south end of the original home will be demolished and reconstructed. The new addition will be designed to better blend with the original portion of the home, and several safety and access related deficiencies will be corrected. The home has served as the college presidents house for nearly 40 years.

Amended sign program for Chase Bank in the Sprouts Center The Architectural Commission approved an amendment to the sign restrictions for the new Chase Bank building at the northwest corner of Foothill Boulevard and Mountain Avenue. The amendment will allow for larger building-mounted signs and 2 freestanding signs at the future bank location. The first freestanding sign, to be located on the corner, is 6 feet tall and will list only Chase Bank and Sprouts Market. The second freestanding sign, just west of the main entrance to the Sprouts Center, will be 13 feet tall and list 8 tenants of the center, including Chase Bank and Sprouts Market. Both monument signs will have colors

display campaign signs in the coming weeks. Residents and property owners are welcome to display such signs on private property. Signs may not be placed on public property such as utility poles, traffic signal poles or in public parks. Signs may not be posted within public rights of way, such as parkways and medians. Though there are no restrictions on the number of signs permitted per premise, sign sizes are limited to no more than 16 square feet and freestanding signs cannot be more than 6 feet in height. Residents can review the Claremont Municipal Code Section 18.015.030.F, governing temporary political signs, in its entirety at www.ci.claremont.ca.us or contact Community Improvement at 3995467 with further questions. Carbon monoxide detectors now required in homes The city of Claremonts Building Division reminds residents that all homes in

California are now required to be equipped with a carbon monoxide detector. Carbon Monoxide (CO) is known as the silent killer, because it is an odorless, colorless and tasteless gas that can catch its victims completely unaware. CO detectors can be found at hardware stores for around $20. Video detection installation at key intersections assists cyclists Video detection has been installed at signalized intersections to improve traffic flow and to allow for the detection of bicyclists. The intersections of Indian Hill at Eighth and Tenth Streets; Bonita at Cambridge and Mountain; Claremont Boulevard and First Street; and Base Line at Towne Avenue now have video detection. The old push buttons at Indian Hill and Eighth and Tenth Street are no longer necessary for bicyclists to cross Indian Hill Boulevard.

Wilderness Park parking expansion will be a long road

he city will continue moving forward with the expansion of a north parking lot at the Claremont Hills Parking Lot, but will be taking its time in implementing further parking details.
Tuesday, the Claremont City Council rejected a proposed plan that would add additional paid parking spaces on the west side of Mills Avenue between Mt. Baldy Road and Pomello Drive. Instead the council will focus on already-approved parking lot expansion plans along with a proposed plan to add a second entrance to the park, which the council will review at its first meeting in June. As long as we start moving in the right direction, as long as we get that upper parking lot at least built...its a step in the right direction, said Mayor Larry Schroeder. This is a process, and even after we think we have a 100 percent answer we will have to monitor this [parking and traffic situation] on a continual basis. The unanimous decision was reached after a lengthy back-and-forth discussion centered on concerns regarding traffic and pedestrian safety and whether or not the proposed spots on Mills Avenue would solve the problem, or just create more trouble. The proposal was brought before council following a request at the March 27 council meeting. The proposal suggested that instead of having cars park off the main road on Mills, as they currently do, 45 diagonal spaces be added. The rest of the street would be restricted. Director of Community Development Brian Desatnik noted that the proposal would reduce the southbound travel lane from 14 feet to 12 feet, still very adequate for the amount of traffic in the area, and would give us the room to get the cars off of the road and also provide the pedestrian pathway on the west side. Though City Engineer Craig Bradshaw assured council that the area would be an ideal site for the diagonal parking spaces without foreseeable problems, and that a walkway would be added to the street for pedes-

trians, many residents did not feel comfortable with the positioning of the spots on an already narrow and dangerously busy street. I believe there is a substantial city liability on this, said Claremont resident Ludd Trozpek, addressing the council during public comment. Somebody is going to get killed, and their blood is going to be on your hands when that happens. Mr. Trozpek also voiced concern with the narrowness of the spaces themselves and accessibility to the sidewalk. Several others agreed with his fear for pedestrian safety, noting the unpredictability of drivers regardless of signage or traffic signals. [Wilderness Park users] are going to do what they want to do whether its legal or not, said Nora Vignoli. The council shared residents concerns, deciding to abandon the proposed plan, and recommended that the Community and Human Services Commission take a look at the impact of the capacity and popularity of the park at a later time. Councilmember Sam Pedroza felt that building a second entrance to the park, rather than building even more parking spaces, would help to alleviate some of the concerns. The council recommended that the Community and Human Services Commission take a look at the impact of the popularity of the park at a later time. In agreement with Mr. Pedroza, the council recommended moving forward with addressing the alternate entrance in June, and holding off on approving further parking expansions. In the meantime, the council recognized the difficulties and the inability to fully address all the concerns sparked by the Wilderness Park and its increased popularity among residents and nonresidents alike. At this point, Im still in favor of the upper lot. I think its important in favor of onsite parking, said Councilmember Corey Calaycay. Id sooner see us take this money and put it toward the other aspect of this, the alternative entrance that Councilmember Pedroza has talked about. Beth Hartnett

POLICE BLOTTER
Wednesday, May 2 A 16-year-old Antonio High School student was arrested Wednesday morning after being found urinating on the cement of the school grounds. Police determined the student was under the influence of alcohol and, upon inspection, also found a lighter in his backpack. He was arrested for being drunk and urinating in public, as well as for being a minor in possession of tobacco paraphernalia. Saturday, May 5 An arrest for being drunk in public was only the beginning for a Claremont Colleges student who was detained by Claremont police early Saturday morning. Police were called to Case Dorm, 560 E. Foothill Blvd., because the studentLeverett Morgan, 21was being combative with campus safety. He attempted to punch the campus safety officers, who were eventually able to detain him. When his handcuffs were removed in the Claremont jail, Mr. Morgan began to swing his arms in an attempt to hit the officers and when they tried to exit the cell, he charged the door and tried to escape. An officer and a jailer were injured in the process, according to Lt. Vander Veen. He was held until sober and later released after posting bail. In addition to charges of being drunk in public, Mr. Morgan is being accused of resisting and battery of an officer. ***** The driver of a motorized scooter was airlifted from Larkin Park to USC Medical Center around 6:15 p.m. after slamming into the back of a vehicle stopped in a west lane of Foothill Boulevard, east of Mills. The driver suffered lacerations to the chin, arms and legs. Monday, May 7 A fluke incident triggered by a solo car crash left a resident injured on Monday. A man was pulling his vehiclesimilar to a golf cartinto a parking stall in front of Rhino Records, 235 Yale Avenue, around 8:30 a.m. when he accidentally hit the accelerator and collided with a support beam before leaving the scene.

Solid police work leads to arrests for car burglaries


Claremont police have arrested 2 men in connection with a series of Mt. Baldy Road auto burglaries. Over the past 3 weeks, at least 6 cars have been broken into via smashed windows on Mt. Baldy Road near Evey Canyon, with an additional burglary at Padua Park. A witness of the Padua Park incident was able to provide police with a car description of a Brown Nissan Frontier. Through hidden cameras, police were able to locate the vehicle and obtain a license plate number. Police contacted the owners of the vehicle at their home in Azusa, and were told that the 2 men police sought had borrowed another family time of the incident, but the store was closed. Rhino Records did not wish to press charges. Though the driver was not harmed in the crash, a man nearby was transported to the hospital for a finger injury he sustained while attempting to catch another person who was startled at the time of the crash. ***** A 2-car crash ended in arrest for both drivers Monday evening. A 76-year-old Ontario man was arrested after rear-ending another vehicle with his car at Auto vehicle. Residents provided police with another description. On Tuesday night, May 8, police located the car near Monte Vista Avenue and Base Line Road. After a short pursuit on the 210 freeway, the car exited at Euclid Avenue. Gary Ramirez, 35, and Reggie Ramirez, 31, both of Pomona, were arrested in connection with the Claremont auto burglaries. Upon further investigation, police learned that the men were also wanted by a number of different agencies in the area for similar crimes, according to Lieutenant Shelly Vander Veen. Both are being held at Claremont jail as investigation continues. Center Drive and Indian Hill. Samuel Martinez was found to be under the influence of alcohol. He was already on probation for a previous count of driving under the influence. Esca Guernon, 23, of Pomona, the driver of the rear-ended car, was found to have an outstanding warrant and also arrested. Though both Ms. Guernon and her passenger complained of pain, neither sought medical treatment.

Creating a game plan: Finding that first job after graduation

ts off to the future for seniors at The Claremont Colleges preparing to graduate this weekend. When they see friends and relatives at commencement festivities, they will likely hear the question all graduates face. What's next?
Some undergrads plan to go on to graduate or professional school, while others will take advantage of the increasing amount of "gap year" opportunities that extend past travel, sunbathing and reflection. These include a growing number of national and international programs allowing students to see the world or touch some lives while adding meaningful experience to their resume. Many new Claremont Colleges alumni have already secured employment, often with the help of their respective colleges career centers, whose staffs work vigorously to help students find a post-graduate niche. Others are still seeking employment. Creating a ripple effect There are signs that Americans employment opportunities are on the rise. U. companies posted more than 3.7 million job openings in March, the highest in nearly 4 years, according to a Tuesday, May 8 press release from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). And yet, the country is a long way from the 8.8 million jobs on offer in the days predating the economic crisis. The unemployment rate is hovering at 8 percent or some 12 million people. Representatives from colleges like Scripps, Pomona and Claremont McKenna (CMC) and the Claremont Graduate University (CGU) say student employment prospects have improved since a consortium-wide dip that saw job offers at their lowest ebb in 2009. At least on our campus, theres been more activity among employers. Theyre still contacting us, still posting jobs and asking about candidates, even though the students are about to graduate, said Young Kwak, associate dean of students and director of career services at Claremont McKenna College. The career center staff at CGU, Scripps and Pomona Colleges also report increased employer interest. In fact, Harvey Mudd reports the number of their graduates emerging with degree or experience in software engineering is not enough to meet employer demand. Despite these happy phenomena, job-seeking students face a challenge, particularly if their goal is to land a spot in a recession-ravaged field like education. Its a ripple effect, Mr. Hardister said. Sometimes people have a feeling of Wow, theres

all these job postings. Why cant you get a job? You dont know what the competition is for these jobs, he said. Even though theres an uptick in what employers are offering, because of the number of people across the country that have been displaced, theyre competing with more candidates. Old techniques, new technology For the Scripps College Career Planning and Resource staff, stepped-up placement efforts have involved embracing the digital age. Each year, Scripps, like many colleges, creates a resume book, allowing employers to browse through the qualifications of their job-seeking graduates. Many schools books are now presented as PDF files, making them computer-viewable. Scripps has taken a new step this year in presenting its resume book as a digital publication that viewers can flip through like a book. The book includes links that allow prospective employers to zero in on students hoping to work in their fields and who are willing to work in their geographic regions. We have incredibly bright and talented young women who are graduating into a very tight and highly competitive economy. We have turned to new technology and platforms to connect our accomplished undergraduates with employers and career networks, said Vickie Klopsch, Scripps Colleges director of CP&R in a recent release. This years Scripps resume book showcases a small but mighty pool of 60 job-seeking students in an innovative manner. It was sent to more than 1300 employers, the Scripps College alumnae community and to select members of the Scripps Association of Families. Its been tough, said Barbara Bonnie Yelverton, who, at 69, is graduating with a master of arts degree in education from Claremont Graduate University. Ms. Yelverton, whose areas of expertise are science and math, had a hard time obtaining the teaching position she needed to rack up hours for her credential. Now that she is graduating, she is having trouble finding a steady teaching gig. A job would provide more than income. It would provide relief from Ms. Yelvertons $50,000 student loan

debt. After 5 years of teaching, an education students debt is excused. Ms. Yelverton (an Upland resident who most recently applied for work in the Hesperia school district) says age may have something to do with her lack of application traction, because most of her younger peers have found a place. Still, she is aware that many students face her plight. Its really unfortunate because theres some really great teachers among these people, she said. As she prepares to leave Scripps College, graduating senior Michelle No isnt sure what shes going to do, but she knows exactly what she wants to do. Ms. No, who double majored in Italian and European studies with a concentration in modern visual culture, wants to go into publishing. Her top choices would be a staff position at a Conde Naste or Hearst publication. The headquarters of the kinds of magazines she would like to work for, and the vast amount of publishing opportunities Ms. No has seen, are located in New York. With this in mind, Ms. No plans to move to New York by August. She is just now beginning a thorough focus on job searching, because she was absorbed this last year by work on her thesis and on living my life. Ms. No is confident that she will be able to find a job, most likely through alumni connections or other networking endeavors. Adding to her assurance, shes managed to create a strong resume, with which the Career Planning and Resources staff have helped her immensely. While she was at Scripps, the CP&R staff helped her procure 2 internships that provided her with invaluable publishing experience, one with a small start-up LAbased progressive culture publication called Good Magazine and another with the same citys longstanding alternative culture magazine, the LA Weekly. Ms. No is now ready to go forward in her career search, armed with job-seeking knowledge and on-thejob chops cultivated during her internships. I feel like Im competent. I have a great resume, I just need to apply myself, she said. Ms. Yelverton said she didnt anticipate that finding

Searching for the perfect shopping experience


by Jan Wheatcroft

ach of us brings our own special interests to the shopping experience. I rarely go into department stores to buy clothes when I travel. My interest in clothes buying at home extends to thrift stores and artist exhibits. There are, however, 2 exceptions to this pattern.
In Stockholm, Sweden I always try to go to a shop called Gudrun Sjoden, which sells the most imaginative ethnic-inspired natural clothing. I can spend many enthusiastic hours pawing through the racks of beautiful colors and interesting designs and feel inspired. My other favorite place to go is in Santa Barbara. It, too, is an ethnic inspired store called Tienda Ho on State Street and the clothes found there are from Morocco and Bali, mostly. I can always find things to try on that are full of pattern and design,which I love. On my last trip to Southeast Asia, I was drawn to the type of shopping that complements my work in the arts and crafts. I appreciate things that are handmade and especially those with a history of craftsmanship. I was really drawn to the spinning, dyeing and weaving work from the 3 countries we visited, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. We visited the workshops to see how they spun and dyed the silk and then watched as the patterns sprung to life at the hands of the local weavers. The designs and patterns and the use of colors were different from country to country, and from tribal area to tribal area. Although we went to markets, especially the night markets, and found lovely weavings, I most enjoyed wandering to many different shops to discover the best quality of silk scarves in Hanoi, Vietnam. We did try many different venues until I found just what I wanted. In Vietnam, I fell for the vivid, hot colors and non-raditional patterns. In Cambodia, I loved the rich, luxurious patterns of the more traditional tribal designs, which I chose after a long search in a local market called the Russian Market in Phnom Penh. The choice was endless and I could have bought many, but how many necks can I wrap? The silk weaving in Laos was quite different. I was drawn to the raw silks and rough weave cottons, which were dyed in softer, natural colors using natural dyes in traditional methods such as Indigo. I happily spent hours in one speciality weaving store fingering and admiring the handwork. I also liked the fact that each scarf had the name and a short biography of each weaver attached to it. We also went out of town to a lovely workshop center and showroom to see the looms with weaving in progress. The detail was so fine and only a small amount was completed in a day. The hand dyed yarns hung from lines strung amongst the trees and fluttered in the breeze. Someone must have felt as I do with small scraps of leftover silks, and had completed a large wall piece of a fierce dragon in a mosaic fashion using the small bits of silk. This silk weaving was the finest I saw and I was spoiled by this high workmanship for any of the wares sold on the streets. Antique and old fabricsmostly womens skirts are also available at high prices in Laos. Shop owners are aware of their value and obviously collect them to sell. Many have very fine patterns and the quality of weaving is very good. One day, I admired a neighbors skirt which was one of these older pieces, and she took it off and offered it to me. At first, she didnt want any payment for it but I couldnt just take her valuable clothing for nothing. Finally she accepted my money, and I have a lovely handwoven Laotian skirt with a small personal story attached. I am attracted to the old, the antique, the items with a historyinfused with a past, a memory, or a previous purpose. I have an old silver bracelet from somewhere in the Middle East that I have always felt was worn by a woman who traveled across the desert to bring water to her village. My fantasy? The new, the shiny, the bling rarely captivates my imagination as does the old and the worn. When I was in Japan, I went to as many flea markets as I could find. These were held in Kyoto and Tokyo in temples on certain weekends of the month. I found glorious old kimonos and obis at very low prices and bought as many as I could bring home, planning to cut them up and use them to make quilts. I never had the nerve to cut into any of them, thus destroying the wonderful handwork of the total design. I

held on to these beautiful pieces of art and finally sold them to people who would wear them when I sold my house. When one admires great work, it is difficult to destroy it. However, to find old things that are broken or rusted and to reuse them in new projects is another passion of mine. Antique stores, flea markets, garage sales and thrift shops make great places to discover the discarded and unused objects that can be converted into imaginative pieces of art, thus preserving the past in clever ways. London is full of great places to find old tat as they say, in small batches that are easy to bring home. Often I find bits that have been dredged up from the Thames River and I incorporate them in to my art creations. I also search for old or antique beads, buttons and silver, which I can use in my ethnic style jewelry. I will go anywhere and happily poke about, looking for that perfect treasure. Luckily, there are people who are savers and have collected these objects and enjoy them as much as I do and are willing to sell them. Unluckily, they know the value as I do, and the cost has risen so much that it is harder and harder to be able to buy what I want. Often, people come by wearing something that I made quite a few years ago that has lovely beads that I once could find or could afford and are now either out of my reach or just dont exist anymore. But I am always drawn to the hunt and the pleasure of the surprise when I find a gem I can use. London is a great place for these discoveries as it is a place of convergence of trade and cultures. I also remember Israel in the Sixtiesoh, how I date myselfwhen I was able to buy beautiful handwork by diverse cultures such as the Yemenite Jews, the Moroccan Jews and the Ethiopian Jews who had all come to live in Israel and sold the jewels of their past, perhaps to appear more modern or to have ready cash. I so benefited from those experiences. Shopping is an adventure, especially when traveling. It is a chance to visit the past as well as to see what is being produced today. It also reflects my own personal interests and might not be an experience that another person would like to have with me. In Asia my friend, Frances, and I often parted company while I wandered and browsed and she visited a temple or climbed a mountain. I will admit, however, that, more and more, endless hours of shopping and browsing now makes my head crazy and I no longer have the endurance to spend the hours that I used to be able to spend. Now, I am happy to find that perfect cafe or cool spot to sit and sip and watch people, as

Board president marks achievements as school year closes


by Jeff Stark, president, Claremont Unified School District Board of Education

am proud to serve as the board president to the Claremont Unified School District and, as the 2011-2012 school year comes to a close, I reflect on the many accomplishments that have occurred in the district over this school year.
Our first priority is always our students. Under the guidance of our Past President Dr. Beth Bingham and our Superintendent Dr. Gloria Johnston, we developed and adopted a strategic plan that will guide the districts focus on individual student success for the next several years. We completed a full rewrite of the Local Education Agency Plan, which is a blueprint for ongoing student achievement that is submitted to the California Department of Education. All schools rewrote their Single Plan for Student Achievement to detail specific improvement goals that focus on the unique needs of students. Benchmark exams were implemented to monitor individual student success and allow for immediate intervention for those students at risk of falling behind. With the implementation of Professional Learning Communities at each school,

teachers are collaborating in teams to develop specific strategies to improve student learning. This collaboration has also encouraged greater communication among schools as ideas are shared and used throughout the district. With financial support from the Claremont Educational Foundation, the Chamber of Commerce, Rotary, Kiwanis, the theatre renovation committee, the booster committees and many others, we were able to maintain and improve our commitment to the arts, thereby allowing our students greater access to technology, and continue to offer the extracurricular activities we believe are so important to a well-rounded education. Over the years, all of our schools have received special recognition as outstanding schools of California. In 2012, Sumner was once again named a California Distinguished School, and San Antonio High School was named a Model Continuation School for a second time. The district received the Environmental Protection Agency Energy Star Top Performer award. Our students received many awards and recognitions throughout the year for athletics, the arts and academic pursuits. A few outstanding achievements includes: our girls high school soccer team winning the CIF Division III Champi-

onship; the continued success of our International Baccalaureate Program, which has placed in the top third of all high schools in the United States based on the number of successful full diploma candidates; and our high school chamber singers were awarded a gold medal and the distinction of being ranked among the top 5 percent of high school choirs in the entire world. I am very proud of all of our achievements, and I am well aware that the success of the district comes from the people employed by the district, as well as our outstanding student body. I believe our administrators are the top in the state. In this time of fiscal tightening, district departments are understaffed, and employees work long hours while constantly pushing for excellence. Our

VIEWPOINT

teachers are the most caring and committed group of individuals I have ever met. They are under the constant stress of doing more with less. They, too, work long hours and come to our classrooms every day with the monumental task of teaching and caring for our children. Our talented classified employees, including the groundskeepers, office managers, custodians and all support staff, play a critical role in running our schools and keeping our children safe. Claremont is a wonderful place to live and our schools play a vital role in the success of our city. So the next time you see one of our dedicated teachers, administrators or support staff, remember that their job is to prepare and protect our most precious resource, our children. Take a minute to thank them for the contributions that they have made to our schools and in helping to make our city a great place for all of us to live and raise our families.

CGU professors head to Washington, DC


Claremont Graduate University professors Tom Horan and Brian Hilton have been invited to Washington DC next week by the U.S. Chief Technology Officer Todd Park for a brainstorming session on how technology and data can be used for public safety purposes. Mr. Horan and Mr. Hilton are part of the School of Information Systems and Technology (SISAT) at CGU. Mr. Hilton and Mr. Horan employ their backgrounds in economics and information technology to create extremely detailed digital maps that contain multiple layers of information, are used in natural distaters, Mr. Hiltons maps were helpful in Haiti, Japan and West Africa, assisting leaders with development and disaster relief through GIS (geographic information systems) software. Mr. Horans key map-project is his work as a principle developer of SafeRoadMaps, a website that uses traffic safety date to analyze dangerous roads and highways. The website states that although there is widespread use of visual, geospatial and consumer-based systems for traffic congestion and navigation, this does not carry over into systems of traffic safety. SafeRoadMaps aims to collect data to ultimately influence road safety.

Danbury students exhibit art work at local gallery


Students at Danbury Elementary School will exhibit artwork at Metro Gallery in the Pomona Art District. Opening today, Saturday, May 12, the exhibit is titled, Embodied: Collaborative Work of Room 205 Danbury School and Friends.

hortly after coming to Claremont at age 10, Jill Zavidowsky started keeping a journal. Now, at 57, a suitcase in her Claremont home holds more than 50 journals in safekeeping, ready for moments when she feels like examining her former self.
Sometimes I go back and see what was really going on in my life, she said. I look for threads of similarities, which I do find. One thing I found is that I was always a seeker. Ms. Zavidowskys seeking has taken her down many paths, a lot of them influenced by her open-minded, philosophical, early hippie/late bohemian parents, she said. They gave her innumerable arts and culture experiences she cherishes to this day. A childhood dance class, she recalls, held in a Claremont home studio and led by a beautiful, exotic, wonderful creature, set a tone for her life. There was a basket of instruments and scarves, and we did free-form dance to music. There, I could let go, be free. I loved, and still love, doing things like that, recalled Ms. Zavidowsky, a graduate of Sycamore Elementary, El Roble and Claremont High School, class of 1972. Her father was a scholar and professor, and her mother owned and operated the long-gone Claremont Health Foods Centre on Harvard Avenue from 1969-73. There, a motley assortment of college students, unique locals, her parents eccentric friends and hippie health food nuts came and went and left their imprint on young Ms. Zavidowsky. I was always surrounded by adults from my parents livesteachers, professors, people who traveled. I learned to respect older people, and I got the idea that you have a lot of wisdom when youre older, she said. Despite the rich exposure to people and experiences
HAPPIER THAN EVER continues on the next page

A life of seeking, a time of contentment:


Jill Zavidowsky is happier than ever

COURIERphoto/Steven Felschundneff Claremont resident Jill Zavidowsky grew up in Claremont and has always been a bit of a seeker. She says now is the happiest time of her life. She has been teaching yoga in Claremont for years and recently converted a bedroom at her home into a studio.

HAPPIER THAN EVER continued from the previous page

(including watching her mother encounter a previous lifetime as a little Dutch boy through a psychic), Ms. Zavidowsky found that, for a teenager, life in Claremont was kind of dull. At the age where you cant drive yet, it got kind of boring. On a typical Friday night, me and my friends would sit on the curb outside of the closed-down Sugar Bowl, an old restaurant with a soda fountain and stools, once run by an old, short, fairly quiet and kind of mean woman with her hair in a bun, reminisced Ms. Zavidowsky, noting that the Sugar Bowl later became her mothers health food store. Seeking life and adventure outside of the small-town doldrums, she first did so by way of her fathers bookshelves, particularly attracted to Marcus Aurelius Meditations, and also in the meditative state of mind. This was different than the get me out of here paths her friends chose. As a ninth grader growing up in Claremont, all my friends were dropping out, running away, eating hash brownies. I was at home, in my room, reading philosophy books and meditating. High without drugs, that was me, she explained. Having started meditating at 14, it has been an enduring practice ever since, one that has made an incredible difference in her wellbeing. Since that time, she has meditated with gurus both phony and authentic, in her opinion, and experienced the opening of her third eye, the pathway many believe leads to realms of higher consciousness.

A somewhat humorous sign on the fence near Jill Zavidowskys home yoga studio reminds guests to remove their shoes.

But before then, still a restless teen, she graduated from CHS, finally of age for the kind of seeking that took her out of Claremont. Ms. Zavidowsky then embarked on an educational labyrinth that took her to 14 junior colleges, 4-year colleges and universities: San Francisco State, USC and the University of Oregon among them. Eventually, she finished her bachelors degree in 1992, after marrying and becoming the mother of 2 (and now a grandmother of a 7-month-old). A slew of jobs, including advertising copywriter and artists model, ended in the completion of a masters degree and credential at Claremont Graduate University and success in a 20-year teaching career.

From this career, Ms. Zavidowsky recently retired, somewhat due to health problems but mainly because the next incarnation of seeking awaited her. As she maneuvers through this next chapter, which has included opening a yoga studio in her home, shes the happiest shes ever been. I dont want to say Im a little psychic, but Im good at predicting stuff for myself, and I always predicted the best part of my life would be when I was older, she explained. When I was having health issues, I began to wonder if I was right, but now that its come to be, yes! I was right! Enjoying herself immensely, Ms. Zavidowsky is now running the Living Yoga Studio at her Claremont home. Trans-

forming her house into a tranquil sanctuary has given her great satisfaction, and more than just a yoga studio, she envisions it as a place of community refuge. I have a community garden [with eggplant, tomatoes, squash and more] and chickens producing eggs. Its a place where people could drop in whether I was home or not, harvest some vegetables, talk to the chickens. If Im home, Ill give them eggs, she said. Instead of just a 3 bedroom house with 2 retired people, I want to open it up to others. Ms. Zavidowsky has practiced yoga for many years and will soon finish instructor certification at Green Tara Yoga in Upland. People of all ages are welcome at Living Yoga, but her target practitioners are women 50 and above. I feel like women over a certain age are pretty much forgotten. American society tells them they have to do everything to stay young lookingclothes, hairbut wisdom and experience are discounted, she explained. I want to help older women respect and appreciate who they are. I think yoga and meditation are great ways to get to that place. Ms. Zavidowsky used to want to live to be 100, but is now much more interested in a life of quality than quantity. For the rest of her years, she will continue to follow her seeking nature, questing after that which brings her health and happiness. I want to smile when I get out of bed, she said.

Boys volleyball celebrates co-championship, ends playoff bid

he Claremont High School boys varsity volleyball team ended their brief CIF playoff run when they were clawed by the South Pasadena Tigers on Thursday, May 10. The final score for the second-round playoff match, was 3-1.

After the Wolfpack won the first game 19-25, the Tigers came out with a lot of momen- SPORTING tum in round 2, and kept LIFE it going for the rest of the competition, according to CHS head volleyball coach Bernie Wendling. CHS played well, coach Wendling said. South Pasadena played better. They told us, Thats the best game we played all year, he said. Part of the problem may have been the fact that the opposing team got wise to the skills of senior Stephen Zetterberg, who has been the Wolfpacks kill leader throughout the season. Basically we just moved our blocking toward [Zetterberg], focused on him, said South Pasadena player Thomas Adamson in May 11 Pasadena Star-News article, explaining how the team rallied after losing the first match. SOur coach said focus on 11, block No. 11. Well leave the opposite open and focus on No. 11.S' Thursdays loss smarts a little, because CHS volleyball typically makes it further in the playoffs. We felt we deserved to go into the semi-finals with a shot at the finals, Coach Wendling said. Despite the loss, the Wolfpack will be celebrating achievements like their league championship at their May 21 end-of-year banquet. The team is taking away some unforgettable memories, most notably their win against John Burroughs High School on Tuesday, May 1, when the Pack beat the Indians with a score of 3-1 to clinch a Pacific League co-championship.

in Missouri. One of the reasons more boys arent going on to play volleyball at the college level is the dearth of mens college volleyball teams, Coach Wendling said. There are only 45 colleges in the country with mens volleyball teams, while there are 350 womens teams in Division 1 alone. The disparity is partly a result of attempts to juggle the large amount of resources spent on huge sports like football with Title 9 concerns that women have equal sports opportunities. Coach Wendling is all for equality of play, but wishes it didnt come at the ex-

pense of opportunities for athletes like his graduating varsity boys. He suggests that schools consider cheerleading another girls sport and offer some scholarships accordingly, allowing schools to put resources into another smaller boys sport like volleyball. Its sad on the guys side to tell [a successful player], If you were a girl, youd have 15 scholarships, he said. Its wrong what were doing in volleyball. Its a great sport. Let the men play. Give them the opportunity.

Claremont boys volleyball coach Bernie Wendling advises students at a match against Arcadia High last month,

That was a Kodak moment, said Coach Wendling. The kids were running around, jumping up and down and crying. Those are the moments I live for. Its a good thing he finds his job rewarding, because for Coach Wendling, volleyball is a year-round affair. As soon as the CHS school year ends, hell start coaching an intensive summer league for the girls at Ayala High School. Coach Wendling gets just 3 weeks off in August before starting the fall season at the helm of the Ayala girls varsity volleyball team. After their play ends in November, hell head back to CHS for the spring boys varsity volleyball season. Coach Wendling spends much of the time when hes on break following volleyball, often traveling to catch college games, especially those featuring alms from CHS or Ayala. Im probably a little volleyball obsessed, but thats okay, he said. Theres a lot of talent on the Wolfpack, but only one player is going to college play.

OUR TOWN
Pomona professor explores public lands in new book
Professor Char Miller of Claremonts Pomona College examines historic struggles and contemporary debates over public lands in the United States in his new book, Public Lands, Public Debates: A Century of Controversy published by Oregon State University Press. Composed of 19 essays, the book explores the history of conservation efforts in this nation, tracks the development and reach of the U.S. Forest service, and addresses the broader debates about public lands. Mr. Miller, who is the W. M. Keck Professor of Environmental Studies at Pomona College, focuses on points of contention in negotiating issues of public land, and the (sometimes strange) specifics of shaping the administration thereof. Other topics discussed in the book include the emergence of the idea of conservation, early legislation related to conservation, such as the Antiquities Act of 1906, a discussion of new national regulations beginning in the 1960s with the Wilderness Act (1964) and Endangered Species Act (1973), and the much more recent understanding of global interconnectedness of nature and climate change. Americans have always fought over the public lands, about their physical existence, political purposes,

economic benefits and environmental values, Mr. Miller said. My goal was to write a book about public lands, our fascination and frustration with them, that was accessible to the public. Mr. Miller is the director of the Environmental Analysis Program at Pomona, a senior fellow of the Pinchot Institute for Conservation and a contributing writer for the Texas Observer. He has written and edited numerous books including Gifford Pinchot and the Making of Modern Environmentalism, River Basins of the American West: A High Country News Reader and Water in the 21st Century West.

IIVRT partners with local schools for All My Sons


One hundred local schoolchildren will discuss actions and consequences and morality when they attend the Arthur Miller drama All My Sons, produced by the award-winning Inland Valley Repertory Theatre company (IVRT) May 16-30 onstage at the Candlelight Pavilion in Claremont. All My Sons is the second play of the 2012 IVRT season at the Candlelight Pavilion and opens Wednesday, May 16. The play, written by Arthur Miller, was first produced on Broadway in 1947. All My Sons takes place just after World War II and tells the story of Joe Keller, a successful, middle-aged, self-made man who has done a terrible thing by framing his business partner for a crime while engineering his own exoneration. Now that his son is about to marry the partners daughter, the affair is revisited, and his lie of a life is unraveled.

The play is directed by IVRT Artistic Director Terre Gunkel and features IVRT actors Michael Buczynski as Joe Keller, Vickie Dawson Irvine as Kate Keller, and Bobby Collins as Chris Keller. Students from Claremont High School and local elementary schools are regularly invited to see IVRT productions. This past April, the company donated 150 tickets from one of their performances to benefit the Claremont High School Theater Boosters. In what Inland Valley Repertory Theater co-founder Frank Minano has characterized as a perfect marriage, the Candlelight Pavilion has recently begun sharing its facilities with the IVRT. Candlelight productions go on during the weekends, while IVRT actors perform during the week. In an interview earlier this year, Candlelight Pavilion general manager Mick Bollinger agreed that the collaboration with the IVRT company is win-win. Candlelight audiences get the chance to view regular plays along with musical fare, and the Candlelight Pavilion benefits from greater exposure. All My Sons performances are set for May 16, 22, 23 and 29 at 7:30 p.m. and May 30 at 2:30 and 7:30 p.m. IVRT performances dont include dinner, but patrons can order desserts and cocktails. All seats are reserved. The theater opens a half-hour before curtain. Tickets are on sale for $25 and can be purchased by calling 626-1254 ext. 1 or by visitng www.ivrt.org.

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 www.lpsasap.com for information regarding
