Crossword addicts
Dear Editor: In the October 10 edition of the COURIER, there was an obituary stating the womanamong other thingswas a crossword puzzle maven. I, too, am a crossword addict. When that great puzzler in the sky calls me, I want to be laid to rest in the true spirit of dyed-inthe-wool puzzlers, i.e., 6 down and 3 across.

Dear Editor: The water bill primer was quite informative. However, the real meaning of some of the acronyms was not provided. Thanks to the extremely dangerous undercover work undertaken by Walrus Team 6 (not quite as elite as Seal Team 6), we are able to provide the definitions Golden State Water does not want you to know. First, any item labeled surcharge comes from the phrase Sure, charge them whatever we need to get our high salaries and bonuses. Second, WRAM is short for We Reserve the right to Always make Money. Third, MCBA is short for Money Can Buy All regulators. Fourth, CARW' means Cash Always Remedies actual Work. Fifth, CCF stands for Cash From Claremont Fools. Our hats are off to the brave and intrepid individuals who risked their coffee breaks to obtain this information for us. Go Walrus Team 6! Chuck Leeb

Burying the truth
Conrad Casler Claremont
Dear Editor: The October 10 COURIER article, Water Bill Primer, was informative but contained a couple of errors or possible misrepresentations by Golden State Water. The statement was made that the size of the water meter provided is based on the amount of water used. Actually, over the last 4 years, it has been GSWCs policy to replace smaller meters with larger meters, which consequently brings increased revenue to GSWC with increased rent on the meter. Secondly, the statement, Each month,
a Golden State official reads the meter... was certainly not true with 3 homes on our block. When we had a room addition and had to temporarily turn off our water, we discovered the water meter was buried under 9 to 10 inches of well-packed worm casings and dead snail shells. To have worms in our dry-landscaped yard produce so prodigiously in only one month, or 2, seems highly unlikely. A check of the neighbors meters on each side exposed similar or worse situations, well-buried meters, one with a cover that had been completely overgrown.

Council shelves speed limit increases for further review
he Claremont City Council has opted to temporarily forego speed limit increases to 10 city streetsincluding Mountain and College Avenues and Scripps Driveas it evaluates traffic-calming measures instead. Measures include additional street striping and playground speed zones. The city will also explore a potential 15 mph speed limit near schools and the possibility of extending school zone areas. The councils unanimous decision was reached after a lengthy discussion Tuesday night. While CITY increases are needed in order for radar COUNCIL to be enforced on those streets, the council peppered staff and police with questions in an attempt to find another way around controversial state standards. Im just trying to find a loophole here, councilmember Sam Pedroza stated to cheers from the audience. The speed increases were brought before the council after recent radar survey revealed that speed limimts on several local thoroughfares were not in compliance with current state standards. The 2010 California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) calls for the speed to be set to the nearest 5 mph increment from the 85th percentile speed. When the city conducted the last survey in 2005, the MUTCD requirement was that the speed be set within 5 mph of the 85th percentile speed. The states strict speed regulations have created controversy not only for local governments, but at the state level as well. Several bills have been introduced over the years, with the most recent being AB 529, in an effort to change the restrictive language of the 85th percentile rule. However, the regulations continue to be upheld. Council will look at traffic-calming measures as well as pursuing reclassifying several streetsScottsbluff, Scripps and Radcliffebefore potentially re-conducting
the speed survey. Because of its decision to leave the limits at current levels, the speeds along those designated street segments will not be enforceable by radar, according to Chief of Police Paul Cooper. The decision to hold off on increases was a welcome relief for dozens of residents, most with homes along Scripps and Radcliffe Drives. Its a step in the right direction, said Mark Godt, who arrived at the meeting with the signatures of 189 residents against the speed limit increases. Mr. Godt, a resident of Scripps Drive, says the speeds along his street, even before the potential increase, are already too high. At the first hearing of the speed survey last June, Mr. Godt shared that his wife has trouble getting in and out of the driveway because of the speed of traffic, and that the couple fears letting their children play in the front yard because of the high volume of activity. The traffic and transportation commission had given the speed increases a reluctant positive recommendation, however, council shelved the increases in response to concerns raised by residents. We represent the people and when a number of people express a concern like, that we have a responsibility to look deeper into the issue, said Mayor Larry Schroeder. While noting that the 85th percentile might stay the same, he noted that the council is at least going to attempt to calm down the traffic issues residents report experiencing on their streets. Councilmembers did, however, recognize the risk they run by redoing the survey. Speeds could increase to an even higher level, the councilmen noted, or the 85th percentile could remain the same and the city will still be forced to raise the speeds. Regardless of the end result, Mr. Schroeder said he would continue to work with Claremonts state representatives to explore ways to cre-
ate leeway for city speed limit mandates. Its going to be tough, Mr. Schroeder recognized, noting AAA and California Highway Patrols strong push to keep the law as is, but we are going to try. **** With direction provided to staff by Mr. Pedroza, the city will evaluate adopting a resolution to support Proposition 30 in the upcoming November election. The resolution will be brought up for review at the Tuesday, October 23 council meeting. Proposition 30 calls for a quarter-cent rise in sales tax over the next 4 years and an increase in income tax for those earning more than $250,000 annually to provide additional funding to Californias public schools as well as to public safety funds. Proponents claim that if the proposition is not passed, it would be a devastating blow to the already crippled education system. Critics argue that the initiative seeks to provide more taxpayer dollars for education without addressing wasteful spending. Mr. Pedrozas recommendation was prompted after comment from several CUSD administrators including Joe Tonan, Claremont Faculty Association past president and David Chamberlain, current CFA president, who says the states public schools are being asked to do more with less. That equation just doesnt add up, Mr. Chamberlain said. We are at a breaking point in our Claremont schools. Last Thursday, the CUSD Board of Education unanimously passed a resolution supporting Prop 30. Educators are now asking the Claremont City Council to do the same. While recognizing that the measure might not be a permanent solution, Mr. Tonan said it is one that will help public schools get through the next few years.

POLICE BLOTTER
Claremont homes targeted during burglary spree
It was quite an active week for house burglaries in Claremont. Several of those reported ended in close calls, but many of them did not. While burglaries and attempted burglaries spanned the cityabove Foothill and below Arrow, according to police reportsno arrests had been made in any of the incidents. Two homes in north Claremont were targeted Thursday, October 4. Between 1:45 and 3:45 p.m. a burglar kicked in the rear door of a home in the 900 block of Miramar Avenue and ransacked the house, according to Lieutenant Shelly Vander Veen. The resident is still determining the property loss, but it is known that miscellaneous jewelry was stolen. At 9 p.m., also on October 4, a man attempted to break into a home in the 500 block of Rockford Drive. He punched through a glass windowpane on the front door and, after unsuccessful attempts to push the door open with his shoulder, he reached through the broken windowpane and attempted to unlock the deadbolt. A resident inside the property saw the commotion and screamed, according to Lt. Vander Veen. The man fled to a waiting vehicle, described as a black, 4-door Chevy Impala with large chrome rims. The suspect is described as a black male in his 20s, about 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing about 140 pounds. The driver is also described as a black male in his 20s. A south Claremont home in the 200 block of East Cucamonga Way was hit sometime between Thursday, September 27 and Thursday, October 4. The resident, who was in the process of moving out, returned home to find the front door had been forced open and the house ransacked. The property loss is unknown at this time. A resident home alone stopped a potential burglary to her home in the 600 block of Geneva Avenue on Monday, October 8 around 12:30 p.m. A man the resident did not know rang the doorbell, but she didnt answer. When the man then attempted to force open the door with his shoulder, the girl screamed and the suspect fled. He is described as 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighing about 180 pounds and wearing a black hoodie. That same day, residents of a home in the 3000 block of Mills Avenue, near the Pomona border, took a $900 loss when their home was ransacked. Approximately $500 in paper currency was stolen and about $400 taken in coins. Any information on these burglaries or other incidents should be reported to the Claremont Police Department at 399-5411.
Thursday, October 4 A Claremont man, believed to have been involved in a recent City of Industry shooting, was tracked down by Claremont police Thursday evening and placed behind bars. Police spotted 25-year-old Richard Tovalin driving near Auto Center Drive and Indian Hill Boulevard and followed him onto the westbound 10 freeway. Police stayed a safe distance behind until backup arrived. Mr. Tovalin was detained near the Sunset Crossing exit on the 57 freeway in Diamond Bar and turned over to the LA County Sheriffs Department. Sunday, October 7 A 22-year-old Fontana resident threw his girlfriends phone out the window in an attempt to keep police off his case but it only made matters worse. The man was driving with his girlfriend down the 210 freeway when the couple began to argue. The fight escalated as they exited the freeway at Base Line Road. The victim claims her boyfriend physically assaulted her and alleges that when she threatened to call the police, he threw her phone out the window and shoved her out of the car before fleeing. With assistance from Fontana police, the man was located at his house and arrested for spousal abuse and for damaging a phone to stop contact to the police department. Monday, October 8 A wanted man found in a parked car with a loaded handgun Monday morning claimed he was a federal agent. Unfortunately for him, Halloween is still weeks away and loaded firearms are not typically
accepted as part of a costume. Chester Howard, 32, of Pomona did not have proper identification and police could not find evidence to support his claim. The gun was confiscated and Mr. Howard was arrested for possession of the loaded weapon and 2 outstanding warrants for battery to a spouse. Mr. Howards friend Jose Chavez, 29, was also found in the car and in possession of an object of interest to police: a cut GPS ankle monitor. Mr. Chavez, a parolee at large with a warrant for a parole violation, had cut the monitor off his leg. Mr. Chavez joined his friend behind bars. **** A 21-year-old Claremont bicyclist refused treatment after colliding with a parked vehicle in the 100 block of College Ave. The impact ejected the man from his bike and had enough force to shatter the back window of the car and cause damage to the taillight and bumper. The bicyclist sustained abrasions to his hands and face, but insisted he was fine. Tuesday, October 9 Three cars were targeted in a burglary spree Tuesday evening in the parking lot of El Roble Intermediate School. All 3 break-ins occurred between 6:45 and 7:25 p.m. The burglar was consistent in each case, entering the locked vehicles by smashing a rear passenger window. Among stolen items estimated at more than $1000 were 2 purses, a skateboard, makeup and, in an ironic twist, a Bible.

Noted photographer Ramak Fazel shows Joey Calagna how to use a twin lens reflex camera on Wednesday during a photo project in Claremont.
COURIER photos/Steven Felschundneff Photographer Ramak Fazel helps Franchesca Ho, left, Capri Castellanos and Clara Becker take a photograph of Charlie Rapp on Wednesday at Claremont Presbyterian Church. The middle school students will be working with Mr. Fazel, learning the art of photography, through December.
Photographer brings out creative side of junior high students
l Roble Intermediate School students looking for an after-school hangout have found refuge in the play yard of the Claremont Presbyterian Childrens Center. For the past few years, the local church has offered a venue for the students, regardless of congregational membership.
Franchesca Ho photographs a younger student at the childrens center as part of a photography assignment for the Claremont Creatives, a program designed to spark interest both professionally and artistically.
Its mostly about community building, said Reverend Rocky Supinger. Its a place where they can just come hang out in a stress-free environment. A new collaboration between the church and renowned photographer Ramak Fazel seeks to give the program a new edge while continuing to forge community ties. Dubbed the Claremont Creatives, the program offers students the opportunity to participate in workshops geared toward providing professional skill sets. The inaugural workshop, which kicked off the first week of October, pairs the junior high kids with Mr. Fazel to learn the basics of professional camerawork. Mr. Fazel and Mr. Supinger hope their workshop provides a launching point for more artistic endeavors to come, providing the students with a sense of purpose. Im convinced that youth are eager to do meaningful work, Mr. Supinger said. They are really energized about producing something of their own. Every Wednesday, Mr. Fazel takes a break from his own photography career to share tricks of the trade with the El Roble students, something he relishes. It was Mr. Fazel who approached the reverend last summer with the idea for creating a workshop. Mr. Supinger was eager for the opportunity to give the after-school club students experience with a professional photographer like Mr. Fazel, whose work has been featured in the New York Times and Domus Magazine, an art and architecture publication based in Italy, to which Mr. Fazel is a regular contributer. The partnership provided mutual benefit for Mr. Fazel, who was interested in men-
toring youth. Having taught workshops at the college level, Mr. Fazel was particularly interested in helping a younger generation at a pivotal point in their lives. Junior high kids are just exiting that adolescent stage and entering into young adulthood, Mr. Fazel said, noting that the teenage years often spur an interest in future pursuits like photography and other creative ventures. Mr. Fazel developed his own interest in photography as a youth from observing his father and quickly took it up as a personal hobby. He enjoyed the way it allowed him to engage as an observer in things he couldnt necessarily participate in. While photography continued as a passion, it wasnt until receiving his bachelors degree in mechanical engineering from Purdue that he realized it could also be a profession. He went on to study photography and graphic design in New York City before receiving a masters degree in photography from CalArts. In New York, I saw photographic works that opened my eyes, Mr. Fazel said. He hopes to provide that same eye-opening experience to Claremont youth. While teaching them the basics of photographyhaving the students take portraits of the preschoolersMr. Fazel also looks to impart other important skills, like thoughtfulness and patience. He does so by having the
budding photographers work with film cameras, rendering them unable to see the instant results they are so used to in this hyper-digital world, he says. It forces them to make choices, he said. I want to work on developing their vision and teaching them to be patient. Its a marathon, not a sprint. Though only their second class, the students were already applying these skills, engaging each other in discussion about how to engage their preschool subjects. If you want them to look or turn their head, you have to point something out that doesnt exist, and they will look for it, said 7th grader Franchesca Ho, sharing a tip. Franchesca and fellow 7th graders Capri Castellanos and Clara Becker agree that working with other kids and coming up with creative choices for their pictures is half the fun of their new hobby. While used to working with a digital camera at home, El Roble 8th grader Joey Calagna says he is enjoying the change of pace. My digital camera is not as good as one of these, he said of the Rolleiflex camera Mr. Fazel has them use. Another concept Mr. Fazel hopes to instill is the important role of commerce. At the end of the program, the students portraits will be framed, matted and available for parents to purchase during the centers holiday celebration. Mr. Fazel finds the most effective teaching is going beyond the creative process itself, helping them to showcase their work. Thats the way to get your students to take it seriously, he said. Mr. Fazel and Mr. Supinger hope photography is just the beginning for their program. They chose the name Claremont Creatives with the hope that it would provide room for different projects to come, whether an actors workshop or cooking class. Its providing them with the foundation that might take them in the direction of further artistic expression, Mr. Supinger said. They are learning by doing.

Faculty union president discusses school board access, teacher priorities
COURIER photo/StevenFelschundneff Claremont Faculty Association president Dave Chamberlain cited healthcare and access to the school board as union priorities for the current school year.
laremont High School English teacher Dave Chamberlain just received his 25th request from a junior in need of a recommendation for college applications.
Somehow Mr. Chamberlain, who devotes 25 weekends a year to leading the CHS debate team in a vigorous competition schedule, will find a way to squeeze in the paperwork for his college-bound students. This year, he is also finding time for another demanding commitment as he takes on the role of president of the Claremont Faculty Association (CFA). The COURIER recently caught up with Mr. Chamberlain to discuss the unions latest priorities and his prize-winning debate team, and to discover whether the man who wears so many hats in service of the Claremont Unified School District has time for a personal life. Mr. Chamberlainwho has been a CUSD teacher for 15 years and has served as union vice president and bargaining chairsaid Claremont faculty are feeling a good amount of satisfaction in the developing relationship between the faculty association and district administration. Nonetheless, he emphasized that theres still a ways to go when it comes to communication between the local teachers union and the Claremont school board. Its a question of access, he said. Reps from the CFA want the chance to meet occasionally with individual council members, bending their ears with regards to teachers concerns. Their requests are routinely declined, with board members citing the Brown Act as the reason for their refusal, Mr. Chamberlain said. Authored in 1953, the Brown Act was instituted to guarantee the publics right to be present and to participate in meetings of local legislative agencies. The act prohibits the gathering of a majority of local school board members outside of regularly scheduled and publicallyannounced meetings. Considering that the board is only asking to sit down with one board member at a time, 2 at the most, the Claremont board of education is clearly misinterpreting the statute, according to Mr. Chamberlain. We should be able to have these conversations and at this point, the board is not willing to do that, he said.
The previous faculty union president, Joe Tonan, noted that board members regularly make time to meet with administrators from the various school sites, and expressed his wish that they would grant the same courtesy to teachers. The CFA would also like to have a set time on each school board meeting agenda to share teachers concerns, goals and achievements with the board and the community. It is a move many other school districts have made, Mr. Chamberlain noted. As it stands now, CFA representatives must pull a blue card and limit discussion to the regular public comment period at board meetings. Thats exactly what Mr. Chamberlain did at the last school board meeting on October 4, expounding on another topic of grave concern to Claremont teachers: healthcare. Teachers face financial challenges Last year, the district contributed $1825 more than it has in years past toward the healthcare premiums of each CUSD staffer. The temporary boost will continue this year as part of a one-time, 2-year agreement between the district and staff unions, granted to workers to acknowledge years of recession-era austerities. That $1825 isnt going very far. Recently, CUSDs longtime healthcare trust dissolved after the largest participating school district withdrew from the association. A healthcare trust is a pool of school districts that join together to leverage their benefits buying power. The district had to scramble to find a new health care trust with strong and competitively-priced benefits. While administrators have done their best, healthcare costs have already begun to rise. Teachers are getting nervous, Mr. Chamberlain said. It currently costs $395 for a teacher to buy health coverage for themself and their family. Next year, with the expiration of the districts bonus health contribution, that same teachers benefit costs will double to nearly $800. This looming increase is devastating enough, Mr. Chamberlain said, but there is another Sword of Damoclese hovering over teachers heads. If the governors tax initiative, Proposition 30, does not pass, teachers will face as many as 10 to 14 furlough days and ensuing cut in pay. The districts contribution to employee benefits has only risen by a quarter of a percent per year for the last 20 years, while the cost of benefits has risen some 12-14 percent annually. Mr. Tonan emphasized how precipitous that hike has been in recent years, considering that in
2008, the most any CUSD employee had to pay for health insurance was $30. Teachers are gradually losing financial ground and more CUSD instructors are being forced to take on additional part-time jobs to make ends meet, according to Mr. Chamberlain. With this in mind, the CFA is urging the district to make a meaningful and permanent increase in its contribution to employee health benefits. While there are some issues between the faculty union and the Claremont school board, Mr. Chamberlain said he has observed many promising developments. For instance, his first impressions of new CUSD Superintendent Jim Elsasser have been positive. His heart seems to be in the right place, Mr. Chamberlain said. I like that he comes from a human resources background and he has a positive sense of how to treat people. Mr. Chamberlain also saluted board members for their vote at the last school board meeting to unanimously support Governor Jerry Browns tax initiative, Prop 30. I think they realize that without a guaranteed level of funding, were going to experience some very severe cuts that will not only hurt teachers but will hurt children in the community, Mr. Chamberlain said. Theres always time for fishing Mr. Tonan said that the job of faculty union president is quite time-consuming. Mr. Chamberlain will need to attend union gatherings and represent the union at all district meetings. He will also need to meet with countless individual faculty members in need of CFA support. Mr. Chamberlain was well aware of the level of effort required from the faculty union head, so he had to think a while after Mr. Tonan suggested he run for CFA president. After 2 weeks of consideration, he went for it. If Mr. Chamberlains plate seems a little full, keep in mind that hes always been a joiner. Growing up in Chino, he served as editor of his school newspaper and ASB president at Don Lugo High School. Right after graduating, he ran twice for a seat on the Chino school board. I was that guy, he joked. The CHS speech and debate team was recently ranked among the top 99.5 percent of speech and debate programs in the country by the National Forensics League. Given the programs success, its somewhat surprising that Mr. Chamberlain didnt major in debate in college. And his high school didnt even have a speech and debate team while he was there. Mr. Chamberlain double-majored in political science and English at Pitzer College, and earned his teaching credential from Cal State San Bernardino. When he joined the staff at Claremont High School and learned that the debate team needed an advisor, he agreed to fill the bill on the condition that the students would teach him what he needed to know. The result is a student-centered program, in which veteran student debaters mentor new members. When he took the reins of CHS Public Debate, there were 20 students in the program, who participated in 3 or 4 tournaments over the course of a year. There are now 80 kids involved, with tournaments taking place nearly every other week. Mr. Chamberlain is as enthusiastic about debate as he is self-taught, and said he enjoys helping young people cultivate the ability to express themselves. In fact, he has seen his own confidence in public speaking grow by leaps and bounds since taking on the debate coach post. His schedule has grown as well, but Mr. Chamberlain still tries to devote some of his downtime to his favorite pursuits. As often as possible, he goes fishing, whether hes on a deep sea excursion, looking for bass or angling for trout in the Sierras. Mr. Chamberlain also enjoys spending as much time as possible spoiling his nieces and nephews. Its a challenge to balance all of my responsibilities, Mr. Chamberlain admits. Ive also found it very rewarding.

Recognizing my traveling fears

by Jan Wheatcroft
hen I pack my suitcase for a trip, my fears hitchhike along for the ride, uninvited. In the beginningwhen I begin to dream about the next trip and think about where I want to go and what I want to see and doI am not aware of any fearful thoughts at all. I am just focusing on the excitement of doing something new and how much fun it will be. As the actuality of the trip becomes apparent a few niggely thoughts begin to squirrel their way up to the surface.
Regarding packing, I always live under the cloud of not having enough and therefore pack too much. Thats my not enough fear and covers not only clothing but medicines, small snacks, health aids, extra shoes, socks and books. I pack as if I am going somewhere so remote that I will never be able to find anything I need in an emergency. The truth is that most everything is available everywhere, even in places I didnt expect such as Vietnam and Cambodia. I found pharmacies in Siem Reap that were filled with everything I could have wished for, with familiar brands and a wide selection of products I could have happily purchased. Nearly everything I needed in over-the-counter medicines is offered, some not even available in the US without a doctors prescription. This was the same all over southeast Asia. However, then I was overly prepared; even my purse held emergency rations.
My friend, Frances, called me a little girl guide. My fears of being left without and needy in a far away place had pushed me into overdrive and being over-prepared. Do I dare travel with less next time? Am I fearless enough to pack lightly? Do I need so many clothes, just in case? (of what I need to ask myself). As for what I find in my suitcase when I return, there are the snacks, now crushed and broken, and the extra shoes I never wore or needed. Perhaps its time for me to lighten up the case and the fears. I used to make myself ill before getting on a plane to go anywhere with my fear of the plane crashing. I spent tons of money on machines that sold last minute flight insurance, which I bought as a magic protection against anything happening during the flight. Over the years I was able to wean myself away from the magic machines and able to conquer those flight fears enough to actually enjoy some aspects of foreign flights. Today the airline I fly on is part of the entire travel experience and I choose the flight and the company carefully. Sometimes cheap just isnt the guiding principle for a successful and pleasurable trip.
There are normal fears of traveling to unfamiliar places relating to illness, pain and discomfort and everyone tries to cover for those occurrences by carrying prescription medications, having shots if necessary, listening to doctors advice and taking care about eating and drinking while traveling. I have been in great pain on various trips. In Cambodia, I had a sore throat that was so severe that I could not swallow water easily. I finally went to a pharmacy and talked to a knowledgeable pharmacist who gave me an antibiotic (I really hesitated before I took it but pain overcame fear of overmedication) and it cleared me up within 2 days or so. I have also had 2 bouts of terrible sciatica that kept me in great pain at all times and almost spoiled a trip. The first time a fantastic South Indian massage fixed me up, along with some codeine bought over the counter. The second time I wasnt so lucky and I suffered throughout the trip. On my last trip to Southeast Asia I was struck down by horrible swelling of toes and great pain, which left me shuffling along the streets behind my friend. The pain has somewhat remained with me since the end of January. I did not let it stop me from going to Europe in the summer but I was considerably slowed down. It was my fear come alive; being sick and not being at home in familiar environment. But my love and desire for travel is stronger than my fear gnawing at my toes and off I go. As for drinking water in places like Asia or Mexico or South America or Africa where local waters are known to be polluted, I drink bottled water but only if I break the seal or have it broken in front of me. And I keep to a mostly vegetarian diet while traveling in places that dont

TRAVEL TALES continued from the previous page
feel save to me. Except for fish, that is. I do like to eat from small stands and try local dishes at out-of-the-way eateries and always eat the freshly made, hot dishes. Never the ones sitting around or using utensils rinsed off in buckets of water nearby. Whenever I travel alone I have to jolly myself away from the fear of loneliness and even boredom of my own company as well as moving away from my area of comfort. These fears can creep in and worry me but have not yet stopped me from going where I want to go.
Certain areas of the world are filled with local people interested in reaching out to foreigners who visit them and can make a visit more enjoyable. One just has to be able to open up and reach out or be receptive when locals try to connect and not feel threatened. I can remember once in Jaipur, India, when Frances met a man while she was looking for a pair of shoes. She came back to the hotel to get me and we went with him to visit his family who lived in a tent on the street. I remember feeling scared and vulnerable and trying to think up reasons for us not to go. Frances just led me there and it was one of those special expe-
riences of visiting with locals who were street puppeteers and made their own puppets and performed for us just for the pleasure of it. Had I listened to my fears and excuses and not followed Frances, I would have missed out on a spontaneous experience and great treat. Poverty, begging, hunger and street children are hard to deal with and can be fearful for many travelers. It can make you angry and helpless. You can feel manipulated and not know how to deal with the begging, the dirt and the sadness of your heart. Some people choose to stay away rather than face these realities. In Cambodia, we found many NGOs involved with helping the needy and specifically went to these places to be supportive. In Luang Prabang, we spent some time in a center for those locals who wanted to practice their English conversation. Each of us was matched with someone and we talked together, one on one, for an hour. I have taken begging children into a market and bought them fresh fruit and mothers canned milk, hoping that it
helped even though they wanted the money instead. As for toilets and cleanliness, well, one does the best one can as needs must be met. I travel by train because it is a lovely way to see a country and even to meet fellow travelers and locals moving from one place to another. I dont expect much comfort but the rewards of the journey outweigh any inconvenience. The adventure and the beauty of the landscape of the country I have chosen to visit and understand make it all worthwhile. I have had to push above my American fears of dirt and discomfort and found it well worth the choice. I have chosen to travel, to experience, not to stay home with my vacuum cleaner. My fears may surface when they are not invited nor wanted, but I try not to let them interfere with my traveling. While a certain amount of fear reminds one to be cautious while traveling, however I prefer the challenges and pleasures of the journey allowing me freedom, growth and discovery from all of my travel experiences.

Eleanor Skip Meury

Ministers wife, activist, tireless correspondent
Eleanor Hoblin Skip Meury died on August 24, 2012 at the Mt. San Antonio Gardens Health Center, surrounded by loved ones. She was 93. Ms. Meury was born on March 15, 1919 in Brooklyn, New York to Hazel Brown and Lester Greatbach Hoblin. Her father was one of the owners of Tuttle Roofing in New York City, a company that worked on iconic landmarks such as the Empire State and Chrysler buildings. Ms. Meury earned her nickname early on for her tireless energyshe seemed to skip rather than walk. The moniker stuck, as did her high vitality, and she would be called Skip throughout her life. After graduating from Roosevelt High School in Crestwood, New York, Ms. Meury attended the McDowell School of Fashion Design in New York City. As her life evolved, marriage and family became Ms. Meurys primary focus, but she remained a stylish dresser and a fine seamstress who once sewed her best friends wedding gown. She met her husband when she was president of her church youth group in Mt. Vernon, New York and had the responsibility to introduce the Rev. Edward William Meury to its membership. The couple had a whirlwind romance and married on June 26, 1942. Ms. Meury gave birth to their first son the following year. Rev. Meury served as a UCC minister for a number of churches over the years. He began his career with a congregation in Port Jervis, New York. As a conscientious objector in World War II, he also took on the ministry of a number of outlying churches whose pastors were stationed overseas. After the war, Rev. Meury continued to serve congregations across the country at churches in Keene, New Hampshire, Wellesley, Massachusetts, Durham, New Hampshire, Boulder, Colorado and locally in Claremont. Their family grew along with Rev. Meurys resume, as the couple had 2 more daughters in 1945 and 1954 and another son in 1950. Ms. Meury was active in her childrens lives, attending their extra-curricular events and serving as den mother when her boys were in Scouts. Dinner was a special time of vigorous discussion, with the table serving as the center of intellectual life in the family. Ms. Meury strived to pass on her love of reading, art and travel to her children. Some of the earliest memories of her son, Jonathan Spike Meury, are of family visits to various museums in New York. His mother thought nothing, he said, of taking a 4- or 5-year-old to a classical music concert. Ms. Meury balanced family with an extraordinary level of activity in support of her husband and his congregations. She was the epitome of a ministers wife in the old school in that she cared for everybody, Ms. Meurys longtime friend Jim Merrill said. She spent an awful lot of time in service to others she was special. Ms. Meury provided coffee and baked goods at church gatherings and presided over potlucks armed with homemade dishes like chicken and dumplings. A renowned correspondent, Ms. Meury also helped her husband keep in contact with his past congregants. She sent letters to people shed met in all stages of her life, from grade school friends to newer acquaintances, and had an uncanny memory for birthdays. Each year, she created elegant pen-and-ink drawings to accompany the family Christmas card, which she reproduced and sent all over the country. Ms. Merrills service to those in her congregation and community wasnt limited to cards and casseroles. Rev. Meurys time as minister of the Claremont United Church of Christ (CUCC), which spanned from 1963 to 1970, coincided with a great deal of national and local upheaval. Like her husband, Ms. Meury, a staunch Democrat, was deeply involved in an array of issues, from the Civil Rights movement to the peace movement of the Vietnam War era to gay rights. Skip wanted very much for people to be loved and recognized in whatever gown they came out in, her friend Louise Bell emphasized. The Meurys notably traveled to Mississippi with a delegation of protestant ministers to help oversee voter registration when black citizens there were experiencing de facto disenfranchisement. They were also instrumental in helping Myrlie Evers relocate to Claremont after her husband, Civil Rights leader Medgar Evers, was shot by a sniper in 1963. Rev. Meury helped initiate a 7-step program at the Chino prison, with participants ranging from men preparing for release, looking for support as they integrated back into society, to those serving life sentences. Either way, Ms. Meury, who stood only 52 to Mr. Meurys 6 feet, was unfazed. Skip would be in a room with these hardened criminals and shed really push them to tell the truth about what they had done, her friend Mary Jane Merrill recalled. Shed say, Are you telling me the truth or are you conning me? Behind her back, these tough prisoners would call her the little general. They were a great team, Mr. Merrill said of the Meurys. Skip was a dynamic little woman. Oh golly, she
OBITUARIES
could out-walk anybody, right up into her 80s. Even after Rev. Meurys retirement in 1980 and his death in 1987, Ms. Meury continued to be active in many causes dear to her heart. A firm supporter of water conservation and a volunteer at the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Gardens, Ms. Meury was proud of having converted her front yard to native plants when she was in her 70s. Her creative and water-wise landscaping landed her on the garden tour of the Botanic Gardens. Ms. Meury also volunteered as a caregiver with Inland Hospice for many years. She was just determined to help people cope with their deaths, Ms. Bell shared. She was such a thoughtful and loving person. We miss her a lot. Though she kept herself busy with various causes, Ms. Meury never forgot family. She picked up her granddaughters every day after school at Sycamore School. At her home, they spent weeks making doll houses, mud pies and blanket forts, which she allowed to be kept up for months at a time in her living room. She also brought home their other friends and read classic books such as The Little Prince to them. Her grandchildren fondly remember her popsicles, lemonade and cinnamon toast. The woman everyone called Skip exuded exceptional energy up to her final months. I kind of call her a mighty mouse, Ms. Merrill said. She was very small in stature, but she was huge in character and perseverance and caring about other people. Ms. Meury was predeceased by her brother, Lester, and by her husband, Edward. She is survived by her sister, Florence, and her brother, Richard; by her son and daughter-in-law, Jonathan Spike and Tracy Meury, of Claremont; by her daughter, Margaret Peggy Richieri of San Diego; by her son, Paul Meury, and his fianc Mary Skelton of Olympia, Washington; by her daughter and son-inlaw, Sarah and Aaron Liston of Corvallis, Oregon; by her grandchildren, Gabrielle and Louisa Meury of Claremont; and by numerous nieces and nephews. Ms. Meury donated her body to science. Her memorial service will be held on Sunday, October 21, 2012 at 2 p.m., in the Kingman Chapel at Claremont United Church of Christ, Congregational. There will be a reception following the service. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the CUCC Another Voice, to the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden or to a charity of your choice.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, pursuant to the Municipal Code of the City of Claremont, that the Architectural Commission will conduct a public hearing to consider a proposed Historical Property Agreement (Mills Act) for 456 West Tenth Street (File #12MA01). The hearing will be held on Wednesday, October 24, 2012, commencing at 7:00p.m., in the City Hall Council Chamber, located at 225 W. Second Street. At this time all interested persons are invited to appear and be heard. The proposed Historical Property (Mills Act) Agreement is between the City of Claremont and the owners (Scott Glovsky and Mariana Zalba) of the historical property located at 456 West Tenth Street. If approved, the agreement will ensure the long-term preservation of the character-defining features of the property and provide a tax reduction to the property owner. The Architectural Commission will be asked to make a recommendation to the City Council on the proposed agreement. The City Council is the final decision-making body on Historical Property Agreements. Notice of the City Council meeting on this matter will be given at a later date.
