Crews work on multiple projects on Base Line Road adjacent to Monte Vista Avenue, Tuesday morning in Claremont. The work forced the closure of Base Line from Kemper to the 210 freeway but traffic on Monte Vista was
open. The road is being updated in anticipation of additional traffic in the area as development continues both
in Claremont and neighboring Upland.

The kindness of strangers

Dear Editor:
I experienced an act of kindness and
love by a stranger on Valentines Day. On
Valentines Day morning, I decided to go
for a run. Just before I set out, I told a
family member, I better take my driver
license because if something bad happens
to me, I do not want to be transported to
the LA County Morgue as an unidentified
body. Because of my job I have been
there a few times and it seems an unpleasant place to wind up, even if one is dead.
So license in pocket, I set out down
Miramar onto the trail north of La Puerta
Park, then to Thompson Creek to Mountain and then south on Mountain to El
Roble Middle School. I feel accomplished
running downhill. I returned home and realized my license was missing. I walked
back, retracing my entire route, obsessively looking in gutters and bushes while
simultaneously trying not to look like a
burglar. Nothing.
I returned home defeated and tired. I
worried about identity theft and other possible bad things. My hope was that an
honest person would find my license and
return it. I thought, What would I do? I
recalled various writings about doing
good deeds and expressing kindness to
others and wondered how much effort a
person would undertake to return a license?
As the day passed, I checked my mailbox a few times. Empty. I resolved myself
to go eat. I was distracted and grumpy at
our Valentines dinner. I returned home
and checked my mail box. Empty. I decided to check one other spot and my
driver license was there! Joy! Happiness!
Laughter! Wow! An act of kindness and
love from a stranger on Valentines Day.

There was no note identifying who
found it or where it was found. I have
never thought to write a letter to the editor. I am a terrible writer. But I can write
to say Thank you and to share with all
of you what a kind stranger did for me.
To that person, I want to say thank you
for your kind deed and your affirmation
of the good in people. The COURIER
staff has agreed to help me express my
thanks. I left you a gift card dinner for
two. Please go to the COURIER office,
identify where you left my license and a
staff member will give you the gift card.
You saved me from ending up a John Doe
at the LA County Morgue and, a possible
worse fate, hours and hours at the local
DMV! People are good. You are good.
Thank you again.

Museum plans
Claremont
Dear Editor:
David Shearers association with
Claremont Heritage and his Viewpoint
on the proposed College Avenue site for
a Pomona College museum clarified the
discomfort I have felt for this plan.
Although Pomona College is the
founding member of the Association of
the Claremont Colleges, it remains as one
of the five undergraduate and two graduate institutions for which Claremont
takes pride in being known for.
If this museum were to be a museum of
the Associated Colleges, the west side of
College Avenue would seem appropriate.
If it is to be one of Pomonas many treasures, another location would be fitting.

Towne and Base Line housing project indefinitely on hold
onstruction on the 95-unit townhome project on Base Line Road

and Towne Avenue has been halted.
The developer, William Lyon Homes,
broke ground on the project in early 2015
and had nearly completed two showcase
homes.
Construction at the site has been limited or absent in
recent weeks. According to Brian Desatnik, development director for the city of Claremont, the homebuilders
had recently indicated they were going to temporarily
suspend construction.
The last we heard a couple of weeks ago was that
they were going to finish up the two buildings that were
there and then put the project on hold for 60 days to reassess the market, Mr. Desatnik said.
Mr. Desatnik, who later followed up with the developer, related that no additional explanation was given
other than that the developers were evaluating market
conditions and that the project is on hold.
No timeline was given regarding the future of the
project, Mr. Desatnik said.
In February 2014, the Claremont City Council cast a
divided 3-2 vote to change the zoning designation of a
portion of the six-acre lot to allow the construction of the
complex on the former strawberry patch.
By September 2014, the city issued a permit for the
demolition of a concrete and stone water tank, fencing
south of the tank and several ornamental trees that lead
to the former location of the strawberry shed.
Grading for the site began in January 2015 for
Meadow Park, which was to offer eight different townhome designs as well as a recreation area with lap pool,
barbecues and cabanas.

home had been started last year, according to a previous

report in the COURIER. However, an online search
shows no record of the project on the William Lyon home
page. When a user clicks the join the interest list tab,
the Claremont project is not an option.
Additionally, the Meadow Park Claremont page on
Facebook, which was last updated in August of 2015,

does not have a direct link to the project.
Several calls to William Lyon Homes had not been returned as of press time.

Whole Foods sets its sights on the Inland Empire
hole Foods is promoting its new store

in Claremont. But
the proposed market on Base
Line Road and Monte Vista Avenue is not quite what it seems.
In a press release titled 365 by Whole
Foods Market Announces Five New
Store Locations, sent out on February
10, 2016, the grocery chain proclaimed
that five new 365 by Whole Foods Market stores would open with three locations in CaliforniaConcord, Claremont
and Los Alamitos, as well as a location
in Evergreen Park, Illinois outside of
Chicago, and Gainesville, Florida.
In response to a request for information about the purported Claremont location, Peter McCormack, who handles
PR for Whole Foods, wrote The details
youve requested have yet to be released
but we will be in touch soon as they are
available. Weve made a note of your inquiry.
While the entire 80,000-square-foot
Sycamore Hills Plaza will straddle the
city and county line between Upland and
Claremont, the grocery store is squarely
situated in the city of Upland.
The fact is that the building is entirely
in Upland. By law, all sales tax from
sales at Whole Foods go entirely to Upland, said Jeff Zwack, Uplands Director of Development.

Work recently began on the combined retail and residential development north of
16th Street in Upland, just over the border from Claremont. Whole Foods Market
will be an anchor tenant in the new shopping plaza, which will also include two retail buildings in the city of Claremont.
A site map provided by Mr. Zwack

shows that the Whole Foods building is
not in Claremont. Whole Foods has
billed the new market as a Claremont,
business but Mr. Zwack refutes the assertion.
Its unfortunate that Whole Foods
stated that the store is in Claremont, because that is false, Mr. Zwack related.
Claremont City Manager Tony Ramos
confirms this assessment.

I agree with the city of Upland. I have
seen the development plans and the
Whole Foods market is clearly situated
within the boundaries of the city of Upland.
The site map shows only two retail
pads within Claremont city boundariesa 7000-square-foot retail space
along Base Line Road and a 9000-
square-foot space along the 210 freeway.

Tenants for these buildings have not been
identified.
Grading for the center has already
begun, but the overall concept for the
center is still being fine-tuned. TR Gregory of the developer GPI Companies
said he anticipates at least two restaurants
and a drug store in addition to Whole
Foods serving as the anchor tenant.
Its part of an overall mixed-used
project to include 400 new homes east of
the center in Upland, he said.
The Whole Foods lease was signed
under a new store concept, 365 by
Whole Foods Market, which aims to
offer a lower priced, no frills, smaller
footprint format.

Museum zoning changes delayed due to resident rebuttal

inch thickwas received by the Claremont Planning Commission an hour before the start of the February 16 meeting,
forcing the city to push the agenda item to
the next commission meeting.
There were quite a lot of issues raised
in the document, and as you can imagine
it doesnt really give us much time to respond to them, Mr. Desatnik said. So we
really have no choice but to recommend to
the commission to continue this item to the
next regularly scheduled planning commission meeting, so we can have some
time to look at it and respond.
One of the zones up for reclassification
includes the proposed location of the
Pomona College Museum of Art, which
has been the focus of scrutiny by some
Claremont residents. Currently it is zoned
as medium-density residential, and the
city is proposing to change it to institutional/educational, which is what
Pomona College initially sought last April.
Planning Commission Chair K.M.
Williamson explained to the audibly disappointed crowd that the city needs time
to digest such comments before they can

adequately proceed.
I assume many of you are here for the
meetingno, I dont need a show of
hands, Ms. Williamson said. For staffs
sake, let me just add that when staff receives a public comment that is very large
and substantial at the 11th hour, its very
hard for staff to get that to us commissioners to review in time to fully review
the record.
The motion to push the zone change to
the March 1 meeting was approved by
the majority of the commission members,
with commission co-chair Cynthia Humes
abstaining due to her expected absence
from the meeting on that date.
Mr. Patterson laid claim to the lastminute correspondence and approached
the dais holding a large volume of documents that he said could have been attached to his rebuttal.
I can be really testy at times, but this is
the first time Ive actually one, laughed at
the public notice that I got, and two, was

An unknown person logged into an

Church of Christ employee and attempted to bilk the church of thousands
of dollars. The incident happened between 6:41 a.m. and 10:26 a.m., when
the fraudster, using the employees
email, contacted the churchs finance director and requested funds in excess of
$19,000 be wired from the churchs account to a Citibank in Glendora, according to Lt. Mike Ciszek of the Claremont
Police Department. The finance director
did not send the funds, but instead notified the churchs bank regarding the attempted fraud. It is unclear how the
would-be fraudster received access to the
employees email account.

Claremont police arrested a Pomona
man after he was seen striking his girlfriend in a parking lot. Officers responded to the 400 block of W. San Jose
Street around 4:30 p.m. after witnesses
observed a 24-year-old male chase his
girlfriend into a parking lot, striking her
in the head. The woman was observed
holding her face as she ran. She suffered
a one-inch scratch on the right side of her
face and an abrasion on the right side of
her hairline. The suspect was arrested for

battery on a non-cohabitating spouse and
for having a warrant. The victim was
also arrested by Claremont police after a
records check revealed she had a warrant, which was not connected to the battery, Lt. Ciszek said.
Friday, February 12
A Claremont man was arrested for obstruction after getting into a fight with officers as his car was being towed. The
bizarre incident began in the Packing
House parking garage on First Street just
before midnight, when witnesses saw
36-year-old Joshua Kreutzer and seven
other people pushing a van, using another vehicle, to the third floor of the
structure and kicking the side of the van.
When officers arrived, they noticed Mr.
Kreutzers car, a Ford Bronco, had expired tags. The officers impounded the
Bronco, and when the tow truck arrived,
Mr. Kreutzer became extremely agitated, by standing up and pulling away
from officers. Police wrestled Mr.
Kreutzer to the ground, and one officer
suffered an injury to his finger in the
melee. Mr. Kreutzer was arrested and
transported to CPD jail, where he was
held for bail/court.
space and the well space as residential.

According to Mr. Patterson, the zone
change at the Pomona College museum
site amounts only to window dressing.
Mr. Desatnik told the COURIER on
February 4 that the zone change was only
initiated to correct mistakes that were
made when the citys general plan was
adopted in 2006.
There were seven sites left off when
our general plan was adopted, Mr. Desatnik said. We have an obligation to
make them consistent.
The proposal to build the museum has
been met with contention ever since the
college first sought a zone change in April
2015.
Pomona College wants to build the museum on the west side of College Avenue
between Second Street and Bonita Avenue, an area currently occupied by Renwick House and a few cottages. Renwick
would be moved across the street to the
southeast corner of Second Street and College Avenue and the cottages would be demolished under the current plan.
The plan has come under fire from residents who are concerned about the socalled college creep, and who deem
College Avenue the dividing line between
the Colleges and the Village. Critics fear
the proposed zone change would open the
floodgates for Pomona College to proceed with their plans for the museum,
something Mr. Desatnik refutes.
Pomona still has to get their master
plan approved, Mr. Desatnik said in a
previous interview. That is a completely
separate process. The museum design, location and size will still be based on review and approval by the commissions
and city council. This ordinance only

seeks to correct the zoning issue.
The planning commission will review
the Pomona College Master Plan during
their meeting on March 15. Pending approval from the commission, the city
council will receive the plan during their
April 12 meeting.
In the meantime, some Claremont residents have been vocal in their opposition
to the zone change. In an email sent to
members of the Claremont City Council,
resident Mary Stoddard railed against the
proposed zoning change as a slap in the
face to those who oppose the museum
plans.
Amy Minteer of Chatten-Brown &
Carstens, a Hermosa Beach law firm, submitted a letter to the city on February 15,
purportedly on behalf of a group calling
themselves Citizens to Save College Avenue, which denounced the zone change.
Ms. Minteer called the proposed zone
change unnecessary as the zoning for the
sites is on balance compatible with the
objectives, policies, general land uses, and
programs set forth in the General Plan and
is not required for the existing uses.
Claremont residents Claudia and Dan
Pearce submitted a letter supporting the
zone change to the city on February 6. In
it, the Pearces noted that [Pomona Colleges] plans for those properties will be a
terrific bridge from the Colleges to the
community. We are excited about Pomona
Colleges plans for that area.
The commission will receive the proposed zone change ordinance for a second
time on March 1.
Saturday, February 13
Two Claremont gals were arrested
after getting into a fight. The brawl happened just after midnight Saturday, when
police were called to the 300 block of
Carleton Avenue regarding a family disturbance. Upon arrival, they saw 56year-old Donna Davis on the front lawn,
claiming another woman had punched
her, then pushed her off the front porch.
The other woman, identified as 49-yearold Gina Briestensky, told the officer Ms.
Davis had punched her in the mouth.
Both women, each of whom wanted the
other arrested, signed private persons arrest forms and both were sent to CPD
jail.

Two people were arrested after a
brazen robbery on the 600 block of
Bonita. The incident happened just before 6 a.m., when 28-year-old Milton
Martinez of Pico Rivera and 28-year-old
Kellisha Pruitt of Sylmar allegedly
choked and punched a victim and stole
another victims purse from the center
console of her car, according to Lt.
Ciszek. Officers located the getaway car,
a white Ford F-150, in the parking lot of
Trader Joes. When officers arrived, a
third subject ran from the scene. Inside
Mr. Martinez and Ms. Pruitts car were
multiple credit card embossing machines, credit cards and gift cards. Mr.
Martinez and Ms. Pruitt were arrested,
but the third subject was not located.

Two assailants beat and robbed a man
after a traffic collision Sunday night. The
fight broke out in front of the Wine and
Liquor Market on the 700 block of Indian Hill Boulevard at approximately
11:53 p.m. The victim was attempting to
exchange information with the assailants
when one of them began punching and
kicking the victim in the head, ribcage
and leg. The other suspect reached into
the victims pants pocket while saying,
Give me your wallet, according to the
report. The victims iPhone fell to the
ground during the fight, and one of the
suspects picked it up while they fled the
location. The victim complained of head
pain and suffered abrasions to his elbow
and wrist. The first suspect is described
as a Hispanic male, 32 years old, 5 feet 6
inches tall, weighing 180 pounds with
black hair. The second suspect is described as Hispanic, 26 years old, 5 feet
8 inches tall, weighing 165 pounds with

On campus, lots of words and (hopefully) action

by John Pixley
he asked, in so many words, how

CMC could be more inclusive and
more welcoming to students of different racial backgrounds, when the students there were basically trained to go
out and make money off of brown people.
Yep, something, as Eric Clapton sung, is happening.

I was hearing the Clapton song in my head before the
student stood and asked the question at the after-dinner
presentation at the Athenaeum at Claremont McKenna
College when I went to see W. Kamau Bell, the third
person to speak at the china-and-tablecloth dining room
at the Ath.
The black comic, best-known for his television show
Totally Biased, asked three times when it is appropriate
to wear blackface and answered with a slide saying, 1.
Never. 2. F**KING NEVER. 3. When you actually
have a black face. Except he didnt have the ** on the
slide.
In his presentation entitled W. Kamau Bell Curve:
Ending Racism in About an Hour, riffing off a controversial work on black student achievement and affirmative action, Mr. Bell showed the now-infamous
photograph of the CMC students partying in Mexican
garb. The nervous giggles and gasps it brought forth in
the audience were very much part of his point. He also
explained that asking to touch a black persons hair or
how a black person washes his or her hair is not okay.
So I shouldnt have been surprised when, the next
evening at the Athenaeum, the student stood up during
the Q and A and asked, more or less, how the college
can be more welcoming to students of color when the
college is known for holding up the white power structure. Yes, something is happening.
At least it looked like that was the point that evening.
The topic after dinner was what a resource center and
gathering space for minority students on the CMC campus could or should look like. In short, this was a brainstorming session, so the students challenging, lightning
bolt question wasnt inappropriate, wasnt so out-ofplace.
The discussion was lead by a panel of directors of
centers on other campuses: Sumi Pendakur, associate
dean of institutional diversity at Harvey Mudd College;
Yuka Ogino, interim director of SCORE at Scripps College and Marianna Cruz, former chief diversity officer
and director of the Multicultural Resource Center at

observer
Amherst College. The moderator was Nyree Gray, chief
civil rights officer and Title IX Coordinator at CMC.
The presence of these directors sent a message. That
these other colleges, including right next door here in
Claremont, have resource centers and personnel for minority students said a lot. So does CMC having a chief
civil rights officer and Title IX Coordinator.
It means that the issue of how students from different
backgrounds are welcomed and treated on campus is an
important one and should be taken seriously. And it
means that there is work to be done at CMC.
That evening, the students were encouraged by Ms.
Gray and the panelists to ask questions, to share ideas
and to write down suggestions. They were asked to think
about and envision how CMC can have space for minority students. And if that space needs to be separate.
Does there need to be a safe space on campus for minority students, or do minority students need to feel safe
on the whole campus?
Just as this is a vital, paramount issue, it is also thorny
and complicated, touching many nerves. And it became
an all-too-real issue at the college when, late last semester, some students ended up not feeling safe on campus at all and stayed away.
This happened after there were headline-grabbing
protests on campus, leading to the dean of students resigning after writing in an email about students who
dont fit the CMC mold. Apparently, according to the
Los Angeles Times at the time, there was a backlash,
with snarky comments and also threats made on social
media against the protesting students, driving some of
them off campus.
As if the situation wasnt bad enough before the
protests.
No doubt about it: there are tough questions to ask
and hard work to be done at CMC, and now is the time.
As shocking as the students question about the colleges
culture may have been, it was no more shocking than
students feeling they couldnt be on campus.
The panelists made it clear that it was why they were
there that eveningto urge that the tough questions be
asked and the hard work get started. It was also part of
the message brought by Randall Kennedy to the

Athenaeum a week or so later.
The Harvard Law School professor, who clerked for
US Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall and has
written on race relations, spoke primarily about how the
concept of race tends to be dealt with in two ways in this
country. Some people advocate that race should be more
or less ignored, that we should be a colorblind society,
while others say we should not only acknowledge race
but celebrate it, as in a mixed salad or a mosaic.
He also said there are people, like his own father and
Malcolm X, who posit that that the different races will
never get along in this country. Mr. Kennedy emphasized that otherslike Frederic Douglas, Martin Luther
King, President Obama and himselfhave maintained
that true racial harmony in this country is possible. It is
also important, Mr. Kennedy concluded, that as part of
their education as productive members of society and
leaders, students speak up and take action when they see
that these issues can be dealt with in a better way.
Michael S. Roth, the president of Wesleyan University who previously taught humanities at Scripps, had
the same message when he spoke last week at the Ath on
the value of a liberal education. He pointed out that one
of the principle purposes of a liberal education was to instigate, encourage and provoke students to question,
challenge and, if needed, take action in relation to what
they see or are presented with. As Mr. Roth elucidated,
this is the fourth and culminating value of a liberal educationas the student is liberated and animated by new
knowledge, he or she can come together with others
who are liberated and animated to cooperate.
A few evenings before, the Athenaeum hosted Ravi
Aysola, a 1996 graduate of CMC. The UCLA assistant
professor of medicine and physician specializing in pulmonary and sleep medicine had a particularly provocative and challenging message. He talked about being at
the college when he was disabled, recovering from a
major illness, and befriending a classmate who had mental health issues and ultimately committed suicide. He
described how this experience at CMC, which is not
known for being compassionate, made him a better
doctor.
It certainly does sound like something is happening
on the CMC campus. Hopefully, its more than a song
and some nice, or not-so-nice, after-dinner talks and discussions.

will be a 30-foot-high train

will be constructed on 30-foot
concrete-walled berm abutments that will extend west to
the townhouses and east to the
Depot.
Atop this edifice will be 20-foot steel
towers strung with trolley electrical and
support wires. The train noise from the
elevated train will be broadcast
throughout the Village. And the
Metrolink and freight train noise, which
will come from tracks at grade and immediately adjacent to the overpass
bridge, will reflect directly into south
Claremont.
To the east, just past College Avenue,
a blocks-long three-level parking structure will be wedged between First
Street and the tracks, stealing the view
and reflecting more Metrolink, freight

This parking structure will be twice or

three or four times the amount of parking at other towns along the route to accommodate the crowds.
To the west, just past Cambridge, another huge bridge structure will rise to
cross Towne Avenue and will visually
and sonically intrude on the residents in
the western part of south Claremont.
This was the vision that Mayor pro
tem Sam Pedroza laid out at a sustainability meeting on Monday night. Some
of these ideas have been locked into an
approved EIR for the Gold Line for
some time, but the overpass at Indian
Hill is a new one that will fill in the last
remaining gap in the wall between
south Claremont and the rest of town.
Mr. Pedroza even averred that it would
provide a nice entrance to Claremont.
To which a resident of south Claremont
reminded him that there was a lot of
Claremont south of his new entrance.
It seems that this overpass idea has
been kicking around in city hall and
among staff for many months, but it
was raised publicly only four weeks
ago in a Council ceremonial item.
There were two sparsely-attended informational meetings since. Certainly,
Mr. Pedroza has been aware of the proposal for much longer because he is
vice-chair of the Gold Line Construction Authority.
Now we hear that council must de-
VIEWPOINT
cide on whether Claremont wants this

eyesore bridge or not, rush-rush, at its
meeting on February 23. Where is the
public discussion? Where are the alternatives? The Gold Line people, Mr. Pedroza made clear, are only presenting
one alternative to a grade-level crossing
at Indian Hill: Take it or leave it.
In fact, there is a perfectly feasible,
environmentally superior alternative to
the overpass, one which was used in the
similarly crowded and built-out portion
of Pasadena: depress the Gold Line
tracks below grade at Indian Hill.
In Pasadena, this was done just north
of Del Mar station (where the train is
actually in a tunnel) and also from
Holly Avenue to the 210 freeway where
the train goes under the edge of some
townhomes and then crosses below
Walnut Avenue. So any claim that a depressed train line cant be done is so
much baloney. However, according to
Mr. Pedroza on Monday, it cant be
done.
The acoustic, visual and traffic advantages of a depressed Gold Line
route should be evident to anyone.

Some of us remember the fights with
Cal Trans to get the 210 freeway depressed when it was built. It would look
like the San Bernardino freeway otherwise.
This matter, though, will not be considered by the Planning Commission,
according to Mr. Pedroza. Nor will it
even be visited by the Traffic and
Transportation Commission, which one
would think to be a no-brainer. Instead,
according to Mr. Pedroza yesterday, it
will be on Tuesdays council agenda as
a matter of first impression.
This whole thing is a bit reminiscent
of the rush to Measure PS. That, too,
was signed, sealed and delivered to the
public without adequate vetting. Each
proposal had a monstrous public structure as its outcome. There will even be
a county-wide public vote on funding
for the Gold Line extension, probably
in November.
In the meantime, this overpass with
the vertical 30-foot concrete walls, running for a third of a mile through the
Village, ought to be re-thought. Otherwise, Claremont will become The City
of Berms, Barricades and Balustrades.

Mystery solved: live sustainably

by Mark von Wodtke, FASLA
ost people in Claremont now see that

we need to live more
sustainably. So lets do it and
celebrate the many health and
environmental benefits that improve our quality of life and
help make Claremont a wonderful place to live.
We know that local smog and air pollution affect our health and contribute
to a changing climate; consequently we
need to reduce our carbon footprint by
making our homes, businesses, and institutions more energy-efficient. We
also need to transition to clean forms of
renewable energy and mobility. Using
solar energy, walking, biking, plugging
in cars and riding public transportation
reduce emissions. Doing this is healthier for us and for the planet.
We know that we are faced with a severe drought; consequently we need to
regain control of our water resources
and conserve water. We can enjoy

the beauty of our local landscape
and integrate drought-tolerant
plants that make our climate even
more comfortable. We need to
capture and detain runoff and
work with nature to clean up what percolates into the groundwater we drink,
local waterways, and the ocean.
We know that our urban forest is in
decline due to drought and disease. We
need to work together to develop an
Urban Forest Master Plan and build a
team that can regenerate and sustain
this resource, which is a valuable icon
of Claremont, our City of Trees.
Not only do we want to continue to
enjoy the beauty of our cultural heritage, our urban forest provides shade
and cleans the air by producing oxygen
while assimilating carbon dioxide and
particulates. Our urban forest also muffles sound from freeways, provides a
voice for the wind and a habitat for
birds.
We know that it costs Claremont a
considerable amount to haul away or-
Demystifying
SUSTAINABILITY
ganic waste. This also creates noise,
congestion and emissions. We could
save money by using this resource to
provide mulch, compost and biochar to
improve our soil, retaining more moisture and nutrients for healthier trees and
landscape.
By feeding our soil we can feed ourselves with all that good kitchen gardens can offer. Enjoying fresh organic
herbs, vegetables and fruit improves
our health while reducing the carbon
footprint of the food we eat.
The recent issue of Sunset Magazine,
which features the Wests Best Places
to Live, has selected Claremont as the
Best Suburb, recognizing many characteristics of our community. But we
should not be complacent, Claremont...we need to be sustainable Claremont to assure we continue to be one of
the best places to live.
Claremont is currently in first place
in the Cool California Energy Challenge. We need your help to win. Please
participate in this competition by signing up at CaChallenge.org. Doing this
helps you become more mindful

of your energy consumption and
provides many useful suggestions
you can act upon to reduce your
carbon footprint.
If Claremont wins this challenge, we will be designated the
Coolest California City and receive
prize money that will help Sustainable
Claremont serve the community. It will
also help position Claremont for
Georgetown University Energy Prize
where we have been selected to compete with 50 other cities nationwide for
a $5 million prize.
Call (909) 625 8767, extension 238
to join Sustainable Claremont and participate in these endeavors. A growing
number of families are already participating in CHERP and enjoying living
sustainably in more comfortable
homes. Living sustainably helps us deal
with the many challenges we are facing.

OBITUARIES
Teacher, camper, world traveler

Longtime Claremont resident Frank
Sowin died from heart failure on February 10, 2016. He was 84.
Mr. Sowin was born on August 20,
1931 in Detroit, Michigan and was educated there. Shortly before graduating
from high school, he began dating his
future wife, Vicki. They both attended
Wayne State University where they received bachelors degrees. Five years
after their first date they were married in
New York at Rockefeller Center on a
television program, Bride and Groom.
Mr. Sowin served two years in the
army in Texas and Louisiana. Having
lived in a warm climate for two years,
Frank and Vicki decided to move from
Michigan to California with their fourmonth-old son Frank Jr. A second son,
Jack, and a daughter, Julie, were added
to the family in the next few years.
At Pomona High School, Mr. Sowin
taught world history and social studies
and, during the summer, driver training.

While teaching, he attended UCLA extension courses and obtained a counseling credential and an administrative
credential. Mr. Sowin held the position
of dean of students at Garey High
School for seven years. He returned to
teaching at Pomona High School until
his retirement. He was honored as
Teacher of the Year in the year he retired.
In the summer of 1965, Mr. Sowin
acquired a 15-foot camping trailer so he
and his family could enjoy the wonderful parks in California. The family
camped in many campgrounds in California as well as other states. His children recall these trips as the highlights
of their youth. Two trips were made to
the East Coast and Canada.
Travel to England and Europe was another interest Mr. Sowin and his wife enjoyed. Their trips included visiting
relatives in England and Germany, and
making new friends wherever they went.
Mary Sloat
Mary Sloat died at her Claremont

in Pomona from 1948 to 1960. The family moved
to Claremont in 1960, where Helen lived until 2000
before moving to San Diego.
She is survived by Barry Master of Santa Ana,
William Master of Goleta and Robyn Perlin of La
Jolla.

of CIF playoffs this week.
On Tuesday, the girls fought a tough
match against Capistrano Valley in Mission Viejo and eventually topped them,
12-10. Goalkeeper Charlotte Cheng had
another great game with 13 saves anchoring the defensive effort. The Pack
also had a diverse offense with five girls,
Mackenzie Elias, Makenna Moore, Laura
Schroerlucke, Lauren Hoyle and Helena
Sandhagen, scoring during the game, according to Coach Gary Cheever.
It was a great team effort. We went
into the game ranked number 10 in CIF
and Capistrano Valley was number nine,
said Coach Cheever on Wednesday.
Wednesday night, the boys basketball
team traveled to Ontario High School to
take on the Jaguars. The Pack had a pretty
easy time of it, outplaying their opponent
on both sides of the court on the way to
an 89-61 final.
CHS dominated from the start, grabbing both offensive and defensive rebounds while keeping Ontario off
balance. The Jaguars turned the ball over
a lot and Claremont was more than happy
to take advantage. Ontario did rally toward the end of the first quarter, narrowing the lead to just four points. That was
as close as they got as the Pack surged,
ending the half 29 points up.
Claremont struggled a bit with their
shooting percentage during the regular
season but seemed to have corrected that
Wednesday, particularly when it came to
the easy layup. The Wolfpack also did a
fine job rebounding and passing, which
kept the Jaguars off balance.
Kyle Scalmanini was the nights top
scorer with 29 points, followed by Tyler
Fraser with 21. Special recognition goes
to junior Luke McCay, who hit all four of
his field goal attempts including two
three-point plays for 10 points.
Coach Stan Tolliver kept his team in a
constant rotation to give court time to as
many players as possible and also to save
his top players for tougher games ahead.
The guys were pretty focused. They

Joey Sanchez on Wednesday during the first round of the CIF tournament
were moving the ball and we were able

to get inside the paint area and kick out.
Kyle had an outstanding game, Coach
Tolliver said.
From here, the boys will take on West
Ranch on Friday in Valencia while girls
water polo played Warren on Thursday in
Downey.
Other first-round CIF action this week:
On Thursday, girls soccer had a home
game against Pacifica and girls basketball
faced Temescal Canyon. Boys soccer will
take on Pioneer at CHS at 3 p.m. on FriSteven Felschundneff
day.
CHS TRACK
CHS runners did well at the Track Winter State Championships at Cerrtios College. Boys distance medley relay
1200-400-800-1600 came in second in a
close race with Great Oak. Boys 4x800
was also second against Long Beach Poly.
Girls distance medley relay came in third
behind Great Oak and Arcadia. The girls
got second in the 4x800 behind Great Oak,
according to Coach Bill Reeves.

Thailands PM gets taste of Claremont at Eureka Burger
laremont plays host to

many noteworthy people, but rarely does a
foreign head of state grab a
burger in the City of Trees.
That all changed on Sunday when
the Prime Minister of Thailand, Prayut
Chan-o-cha, made a quick stop to fill
up on some great American burger
goodness at Eureka Burger at 11 a.m.
on Sunday, February 14.
Eureka employee Winfield Chow
confirmed the visit to the COURIER,
saying that the Thai leaderflanked by
Secret Service agents, his own security
detail and a few associatesstayed for
about an hour before moving on to
Rancho Mirage to meet with President
Obama at the annual ASEAN summit.
It was kind of out of the blue, Mr.
Chow said. They let us know the day
before that he was coming.
Eureka Burger spokesperson Alexia
Penna said the restaurant was initially
kept in the dark on who was going to
show up.
We kind of thought Obama was
coming, because they were talking
about [secret] service men coming in,
Ms. Penna said. We were not sure who
to expect.
Mr. Chan-o-cha heard about Eureka
Burger from a Thai princess, who
stayed at a nearby hotel and enjoyed
her visit to the restaurant, according to
Ms. Penna. The prime minister and his
staff dined in a cordoned-off area of the
restaurant, but regular diners were still
allowed to eat there.
All of this begs the question: what
does the leader of a nation of over 67
million people eat at a craft burger
joint?
Mr. Chan-o-cha and his group reportedly ate truffle fries, nachos, a watermelon salad and a Bison burger with
onion rings, according to Mr. Chow.
Lt. Lori Davenport confirmed that
the prime minister was there, and the
Claremont Police Department cooper-

ated with the California Highway Patrol

to facilitate the visit.
Everything went fine, Lt. Davenport said. We just talked to CHP because they wanted us to know that [Mr.
Chan-o-cha] wanted to eat at Eureka
Burger.
According to Mr. Chow, the prime
minister enjoyed his lunch, proving that
Claremont can satisfy the palettes of
even the most high-profile heads of
state.

With the Chinese zodiac, every day its an animal planet
n the traditional Chinese

calendar, each year is associated with a different
animal. Chinese New Year
took place earlier this month,
bringing in the Year of the
Monkey.
Some people believe your personality
is influenced by the year you were born
and its animal. If you were born in 2004,
youre considered a monkey in the Chinese zodiac. People born in monkey
yearsincluding babies born in 2016
are fun, energetic and active, according
to InfoPlease.com.
Wondering what your sign is? If you
were born in 2001, youre a snake and
are said to be charming, generous and
smart. If you were born in 2002, youre
a horse and are said to be energetic, independent and impatientand to enjoy
traveling. If you were born in 2003,

youre a goat or sheep and are said to
be mild-mannered, shy and peace-loving. If you were born in 2005, you are
a rooster and are said to be practical,

hardworking and observant.
If you were born in 2006, you are a
dog and are said to be patient, faithful
and kind. If you were born in 2007,

youre a pig and are said to be loving,
tolerant and honestand to be a fan of
luxurious things. If you were born in
2008, youre a rat and are said to be
smart, charming and persuasive. If you
were born in 2009, youre an ox and are
said to be patient, stubborn and conservative. If you were born in 2010, youre
a tiger and are said to be emotional,
courageous and authoritative (meaning
you like to be in charge).
If you were born in 2011, youre a rabbit and are said to be popular, compassionate and sincere. And if you were
born in 2000 or 2012, youre a dragon
and are said to be energetic, fearless and
warm-hearted.
Heres to Chinese New Year 2016.
Hope you have a good time monkeying
around this year!

Hip-hippo-hooray! LA Zoo offers meet and greet

re you one of those quirky types
who count the round, water-loving
hippopotamus as your favorite animal? If so, you probably never thought
youd get the chance to meet one in person.
All that has changed! The Los Angeles Zoo now offers an opportunity for visitors to have a close encounter with hippo mom Mara and her baby Rosie.
The experience, which takes place on weekends and
holidays at noon, costs each small group $15 on top of
zoo admission.
During a 20-minute Hippo Encounter, you can touch
Mara, a delicate creature who weighs in at 3,700
pounds, and her 15-month-old daughter. You can even
take a selfie! Zoo staff will be on hand to share details
about their care, training and feeding.
Theyre known to be very, very aggressive and territorial in the wild. Obviously at the zoo, its a little different. Theyre pretty friendlytheyre letting us do
these wonderful tours here at the zoo, hippo keeper
Jennifer Gruenewald told Eyewitness News 7.
Children must be at least 4 and accompanied by their
family to take the tour. You can buy tickets at the zoo or
online at lazoo.org/visit/showsandactivites.

Fairytales Unscripted.
Fairytales Unscripted
brings improv, laughter to
Lewis Family playhouse
want to start by saying that Fairytales
Unscripted, performed earlier this
month at the Lewis Family Playhouse
in Rancho Cucamonga, was amazing
the whole play was improvised!
All the people who performed truly have talent.

They were hilarious and able to quickly think on their
feet and make something clever up while in front of a
crowd. I enjoyed myself the whole time.
The lighting, the sound effects, the stories and the
music were all put together on the spot. The actors
would ask the crowd for a suggestionusually an object or placeand then they would build that into a creative fairytale. It was so cool to see not only the actors
but the pianist, the sound technician and the lighting
designer improvising. There were a lot of props on the
sides of the stage that they used during the production
to make it even better and funnier.
They did three fairy tales. The first one, in a nutshell,
was about a blacksmith who created a piece of indestructible armor for the king to slay the dragon, but the
king falls ill. So the shy guy who came to pick up the
armor for the king was nominated by the queen to slay
the dragon himself. But when he went to slay it, he got
eatenand then spat out. He then proceeded to befriend the dragon.
The second fairytale was my favorite. It was about
an arrogant apple tree that switches bodies with a
young girl. The apple tree, in the girls body, then fell
in love with a prince. But when she eats a magical
apple, the girl and the apple tree switch back. This was
my favorite story because it included two songs, also
made up on the spot.
Afterward, I talked to the actress (her name was
Kelly Holden Bashar) who played the mean apple tree
in that scene. She said it was her favorite character she
played in the production. The third story was called
How the Shark Got its Fin. This one was really
funny, because the shark kept eating the narrators!
All in all, it was a great play. I loved to see how all
of the play was improvised, and what great stories,
scenery, music and lighting were created.
This play is over now, but the Lewis Family Playhouse
is a great place to go. Make sure to catch the next one!

NOTICE OF TRUSTEES SALE TS No. CA14-630925-RY Order No.: 140150984-CA-MAI
YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF
TRUST DATED 10/20/2006. 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
PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU
SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public
auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier's
check drawn on a state or national bank, check
drawn by state or federal credit union, or a check
drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank
specified in Section 5102 to the Financial Code
and authorized to do business in this state, will be
held by duly appointed trustee. The sale will be
made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed
or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the
note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest
and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s),

No.: 8671-022-010 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 recorders office or a title
insurance company, either of which may charge
you a fee for this information. If you consult either
of these resources, you should be aware that the
same lender may hold more than one mortgage or
deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO
PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on
this notice 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 888-988-6736 for information regarding the trustees sale or visit this
Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com ,
using the file number assigned to this foreclosure
by the Trustee: CA-14-630925-RY . 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. The undersigned Trustee
disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the
property address or other common designation, if
any, shown herein. If no street address or other
common designation is shown, directions to the
location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10
days of the date of first publication of this Notice

of Sale. 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. If the sale is set
aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale
shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit
paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee,
or the Mortgagees Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you
may have been released of personal liability for
this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders rights against the real property only. As required by law, you are hereby
notified that a negative credit report reflecting on
your credit record may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your
credit obligations. QUALITY MAY BE CONSIDERED A DEBT COLLECTOR ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT AND ANY

any incorrectness of the street address or other
common designation, if any, shown above. If no

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 or visit this Internet
Web site www.ndscorp.com/sales, using the file
number assigned to this case 15-31801-PMCA. 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. Date: 02/04/2016 National Default Servicing Corporation c/o Tiffany and
