The COURIER will have an entire edition devoted to 2012 in our special year in review edition on Saturday, December 29. So even though Id enjoy giving Golden State Water advice (lets see specifics why rates skyrocket or get out of town), or certain vocal residents how to get their message heard (be nice, not angry and people might listen), this is the time to talk about 2013 and some important changes at the COURIER. I wanted to start by announcing that Kathryn Dunn has been promoted from managing editor to editor-in-chief. So what does that mean? It means she is now in charge of the editorial content of the newspaper. A managing editor in a newsroom usually manages the day-to-day coverage, making key calls with how stories are presented and covered. But as a lieutenant, the managing editor will differ to the editor on many final decisions. The COURIER has had many managing editors over the years. I was one with my father Martin. But do you remember many of those names? In the history of the Claremont COURIER, Ms. Dunn is the third editor not named Weinberger. Thats 104 years. She has worked her way up through the ranks, handling most jobs the COURIER has to offer. Ms. Dunn has been instrumental in keeping the high quality of our content during my fathers failing health and the transition of myself as publisher. Do not hesitate to congratulate her and also thank her for continuing a long tradition of COURIER journalism. I will not be phoning in my job from a beach community somewhere. I obviously remain an enthusiastic owner/publisher who will continue to make contributions to our editorial content, but also will have a keen eye on running the business end to make
sure our readers have a strong community newspaper and website for years to come. Possible changes in publishing dates For over a year now we have been reviewing our options about becoming a weekly newspaper. Currently our print edition is delivered through the mail every Wednesday and Saturday. This is not a cost saving measure, but driven by some outside issues that are out of our control. This all started with the major problems the United States Postal Service was having with their business. As Im sure you know, they are losing billions each year because of changes in customer habits. People are simply sending less first class letters each year. Currently USPS is doing everything possible to save money. That means less service, at a higher cost. Eventually for example, Saturday delivery will be discontinued. We remain committed to delivering the COURIER through the mail, even though its a more expensive mode of delivery. So even with the problems at the post office, it is the best, most efficient way for you to get the paper. All that being said, I have been asking readers what they thought about receiving one big issue (36-40 pages) each Friday. It would be on a higher grade of paper, and have more color than ever. So far, the comments have been quite positive.

CITY NEWS
Study projects huge rate increases with city-owned water
he back-and-forth between Golden State Water Company and the city of Claremont continues today with the release of a study outlining 3 possible scenarios for the water company takeover.
According to local water consultant Rodney Smith on behalf of Golden State, a $54 million water system purchase means a water bill increase of $469 annually for Claremont residents. Mr. Smith makes this assertion among other projections regarding the citys potential water purchase in a feasibility study released Wednesday, December 19. While citing several reasons why he advises the city against its water system purchase, much of it comes down to one issue for Mr. Smith: operations and management. Running a [water] system is not playing Nintendo. You dont get amateurs involved to do this, he said. Mr. Smith noted his belief that, if the water system is purchased for $54 million, rates will go up about 30 percent for decades. That percentage increases as the total purchase price goes up, he said. If you lose the litigation lottery, your rates are going to go over the roof and you are hoping that the city which is going to have to expand and transform themselves into major asset managers, infrastructure planners, risk managers and all thatdoesnt screw it up. A copy of Mr. Smiths report, titled The Economics
MY SIDE OF THE LINE continued from the previous page
The COURIER would then start venturing into other ways to deliver print products like more special sections, and even a coffee table book of Claremont. Our staff is quite excited about some of these options. The website of course would even be more robust, with daily updates, and more slideshows and video. We even will be launching a new COURIER website app that would making viewing our stories easier on smaller iPhone type devices. We realize many readers still rely on the newspaper to get their news of Claremont. We are not going to simply be an online publication. Everything we do starts with the newspaper and evolves from there. Its the center of the COURIER universe. Our goal is to give readers choices on how they access COURIER information. We think some of these changes, driven by the need to stay ahead of future post office delivery issues, will keep us humming as the quality publication you all expect. Id really like to get feedback on any of these items mentioned above. Right now we are still in a planning phase and there will be no changes in the delivery dates. My email address is: pweinberger@claremontcourier.com. Price of a single copy goes to $1 starting January 5 So how much to you pay for a cup of coffee? Or your favorite drink at a restaurant? Is it more than $1? Probably so. After 5 years, the COURIER is going to increase the single copy price from 75 cents to $1. We still think this is a steal, and still less than most community newspapers delivering far less information that we do each week. The increase WILL NOT IMPACT subscription rates. The regular subscription rate will remain $52 (even more of a steal). This is the price for a single copy of the newspaper in a news rack or store. We are very sensitive to any price increase. But on occasion its necessary to help us cover the expense for quality, accurate, reliable journalism. Something thats becoming even more rare these days. As usual, the COURIER staff appreciates your support. Have a good holiday.
of Claremonts Attempt to Buy the Water System, was delivered to Claremont councilmembers and other city officials early Wednesday morning, outlining what Mr. WATER Smith believes will be costs incurred by residents should a $54 million, $104 milISSUE lion or $204 million deal be made resulting in the citys ownership of its water system. The $54 million figure is based on the citys formal offer to the water company, the $104 million is based on the League of Women Voters estimate in a 2006 study and $204 million as an arbitrary number selected by Mr. Smith. Mr. Smiths study does not suggest a price for the citys water system, but he indicates the water company is worth at least $204 million and could very well go beyond that price. He goes on to question whether Claremont city employees are well-enough prepared for such a massive undertaking. The auto mart used to be full. Its frickin empty now. And the warehouse [sic] district took a long time, Mr. Smith said in reference to both Auto Center Drive and the Packinghouse Village expansion project. Theres a lot of empty spaces there. Theres going to be an issue with that track record. Golden State has not yet released what it believes to be the cost of its system after rejecting the citys $54 million offer last month. A study to determine that price is currently underway, according to Denise Kruger, Golden States senior vice president of regulated utilities. Mr. Smith expressed concerns about whether or not the city will able to build a successful enough bond management team to get the funds needed to purchase the water system. Who are they? he said in reference to city staff. And what about the city manager? Whats his record? As water company and city representatives await negotiations, which have yet to be scheduled according to Ms. Kruger, Golden State approached Mr. Smith to conduct the report brought before the city. The presented document represents an estimated month of work, according to Mr. Smith. A Claremont resident since 1982, Mr. Smith is the senior vice president of Claremont-based Stratecon, Inc., a consulting firm that specializes in the economics, finance, law and the politics of water. He earned his bachelors degree in economics at UCLA before receiving his PhD in economics from the University of Chicago, and went on to teach the subject at Claremont McKenna College for 15 years. He now works full-time for the private sector as an advisor in the acquisition of water rights throughout the western United States and in the sale and leasing of water rights and water supplies to public and private sector water users. A self-proclaimed water geek, Mr. Smith has been providing consulting services to Golden State Water Company for the last 12 years, a fact both parties disclosed up front. Mr. Smith was hired and paid by Golden State to conduct this latest water study, though how much was spent on the study was not disclosed. Mr. Smiths latest study is based on Golden States cost numbers and takes into consideration 4 main revenue requirements of the citys water system: capital charges (or the cost of maintaining the companys assets), income tax, operating expenses and the water itself. Should the city take over, Mr. Smith reports that, while the city would not have to worry about income tax, reported as costing Golden State an estimated $1.3 million annually, capital charges would increase significantly. Golden State currently pays about $2.97 million in capital charges. With the citys $54 million offer, Mr. Smith estimates the city would pay $8.87 million in annual capital charges, at $104 million an estimated $15.79 million, and at $204 million about $29.51 million. According to Mr. Smith, the dramatic increase in capital charges is partially due to the citys lack of pay as you go funds for operations and capital improvements, allowing the city to bankroll needed improvements with current funds rather than borrowed money. The city
would need to build up such a fund, should it take ownership of its water system, says Mr. Smith. While a government-owned water system does not have shareholders, it does not follow that the acquisition and operation of the system can be financed by simply borrowing the amount needed to purchase and operate the system, he writes. Rather, extra borrowing is needed to create an equity cushion. Mr. Smith believes Claremont would need to consider a financial plan not unlike local providers like the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. MWDs financial plan includes reserve funding that would equate to 173 days of operation and pay as you go financing, paying for 25 percent of its capital investments with reserves gathered from customers rates in previous years. The city of Claremont, of course, starts with a blank slate, Mr. Smith states. From a consumers perspective, the vision of lower water rates is a mirage. Two subjects that did not factor into Mr. Smiths assessment are current Claremont water rates and conservation efforts. Water usage by Claremont homeowners and businesses has gone from about 14,000 acre-feet in 2007 falling to below 11,000 acre-feet since 2010. The reduction in water use has had little to no impact on residents water bills. In fact, the opposite outcome has occurred and many residents are paying twice as much for water as they did in 2007. Golden State and its representatives invited COURIER representatives and Wes Woods from the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin to attend a meeting in what they say is an effort to be open and honest about the costs associated with the citys takeover of the water company. At the 90-minute meeting held at Stratecon in Claremont on Tuesday, Mr. Smith, Ms. Kruger from Golden State and Peter DeMarco, director of Randle Communications for Golden State, dodged the question of why Claremont residents pay such high rates and why the water company has systematically requested increases. Ms. Kruger cited infrastructure upgrades and Mr. DeMarco claims the questions have already been answered. Claremont residents have said in the past they are willing to pay higher prices now in order to ensure that Golden States record of yearly rate increases does not push future generations out of Claremont. Were here to support the future, said Claremont resident Ellen Taylor to the CPUCs administrative law judge last December. We probably wont see much of the benefit, but I want the benefit for my children and for my grandchildren, and I want people to think forward rather than backwards. On Wednesday morning, Claremont City Manager Tony Ramos told the COURIER that he had not had an opportunity to give ample review of Mr. Smiths study. Once we review the information, myself and our legal teamif and when appropriatewe will have a comment, said Mr. Ramos, adding that he feels it is very unfortunate they chose to hold this press conference without any input or showing the city first. Of what he has seen, Mr. Ramos says he believes there are numerous, gaping holes in the information they have provided, which is consistent with the message they are giving this community to try to mislead them. What they havent touched in what I saw in the newspaper were any comments about profits or anything else like that, Mr. Ramos said. I think they have sent a paid messagethey hired a paid professional to send the message they want to send. The citys battle toward acquisition is approaching the 12-month mark, beginning with the citys appropriation of up to $300,000 of general reserve funds to explore the the citys purchase of the water system. The feud began in response to Golden States request for a 24 percent rate increase in 2013 as well as additional, smaller increases in 2014 and 2015. While the new rates were expected to begin this January, that increase has been delayed as the California Public Utilities Commission continues to deliberate. Beth Hartnett

Arraignment delayed for psychologist in lewd conduct case
ttorneys for Thomas Gary Amberson, PsyD, a Claremont psychologist accused of lewd conduct with a child earlier this month, have been granted additional time to review their clients case.
Mr. Amberson made his first court appearance this week after being charged with 5 counts of lewd conduct on a child and one count of possession of child pornography late last month. A representative from the Licensing Board for Psychologists was present during the arraignment. In addition to hearing his
charges, Mr. Amberson was prohibited by a protective order from contacting the victims. The arraignment was pushed back as Mr. Ambersons attorneys desired more time to look over their clients case before entering a plea, according to police. The Claremont psychologist will return before a Pomona Courthouse judge on January 16 for the arraignment and a bail review, says Claremont Police Lieutenant Shelly Vander Veen. Troubles began for the 56-year-old resident of Upland with a psychological practice in Claremont after a 9-year-old male alleged that Mr. Amberson had made inappropriate contact with him during a counseling session. It was the second time such an allegation has been
made against the psychologist, who was accused of inappropriate contact with a 13-year-old male in 2008. Though the District Attorney did not file in the 2008 case due to lack of evidence, the incident will be included as part of the latest criminal filing. Claremont police officers say they conducted a search of Mr. Ambersons business on November 15 following the most recent allegation. During the search, detectives claim a computer containing child pornography was found. Mr. Amberson was arrested and released later that day after posting $100,000 bail. Mr. Amberson has been a practicing psychologist for more than 20 years, with experience counseling both child and adults. He specializes in children and
teen issues such as Attention Deficit Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and offers evaluations in learning problems, parenting, abuse, depression, stress, grief and anxiety/panic disorder. He received his Doctorate in Psychology from the Rosemead School of Psychology and became licensed in California in March 1987, according to the California Board of Psychology. He maintains a practice off Foothill Boulevard in Claremont. The Claremont Police Department requests that parents who believe Mr. Amberson may have victimized their child contact the Claremont Police Detective Bureau at 399-5420.

Keep it clean with bulk pick-up

Claremont Community Improvement reminds residents who have scheduled a bulk item pick-up with the Community Services Department to ensure that items scheduled for collection are placed at the curb in front of the property no sooner than the evening before the scheduled pick-up date. Bulk items, particularly larger pieces of furniture, that are placed in the street and/or bike lane for longer periods of time not only create an unsightly condition, but can create a safety hazard and obstruction in the public right-of-way. Such bulk items are also difficult to see at night and require bicyclists and pedestrians to enter traffic lanes in order to avoid the obstruction. For more information, or to schedule a bulk item pick-up, contact Community Services at 399-5431.

The Board of Supervisors of the County of Los Angeles will hold a public hearing on January 15, 2013 to consider a Clean Water, Clean Beaches Measure proposed by the Los Angeles County Flood Control District to establish an annual clean water fee, which would be collected with the property taxes beginning on the 2013-2014 County of Los Angeles property tax roll. The public hearing will take place Tuesday, January
15, 2013 at 9:30 a.m. at the Board of Supervisors Hearing Room, Kenneth Hahn Hall of Administration, 500 W.Temple St., Los Angeles, CA 90012. Any property owner may testify or file a written protest with the executive officer of the Board of Supervisors at any time before the end of the public hearing.

Friday, December 14 A 33-year-old woman was airlifted to USC Medical Center Friday afternoon after being struck by a car while crossing the street. The woman was crossing Indian Hill on the south side of San Jose Avenue when a driver attempting to make a left onto Indian Hill from San Jose failed to yield and collided with the woman. She was airlifted for treatment of lacerations to her hands and pain to her neck and back. The driver sustained no injuries. **** Employees of the Starbucks located at 810 S. Indian Hill received an unexpected present on Friday evening. Waiting for them on top of the paper towel dispenser in the mens restroom was a hypodermic needle and balloon with what police believed to be heroin. The objects were given to Claremont police to be destroyed.
POLICE BLOTTER
attempted burglary. It does not appear that the crook gained access to the home and it is unknown why the subject decided to flee before following through with the crime. **** Trouble began for Daniel Lepe, 29, of Rialto after he decided that going up to strangers at Piano Piano and banging his beer mug on their tables was an effective tool for communication. It apparently was not and after witnessing the disruption, the manager escorted Mr. Lepe out of the Foothill Boulevard bar, but not before the customer could perform one last gesture. Mr. Lepe turned around and hit the manager in the head with a closed fist, according to Lieutenant Shelly Vander Veen. The bars bouncer was able to tackle Mr. Lepe and detain him until police could arrive. Mr. Lepe was arrested for assault. Sunday, December 16 On December 6, Adam Muldrow, 21, took a ride to jail after being found riding around on a bike stolen from the Colleges. Mr. Muldrow was back to his old ways this week, found once again taking a ride on a stolen bicycle. He claimed that he had purchased his new ride at a swap meet but, given his track record, the police didnt buy his story. Sure
enough, the true owner of the bicycle was discovered later that day. Mr. Muldrow had swiped the bike, found with a bike lock around the front wheel, by stealing a wheel off another bike and making a swap. Police remind the public to make sure they secure their bicycles from the frame and not a wheel. **** Police hit a jackpot after locating a woman driving a stolen Kia Forte near Foothill Boulevard and Berkeley Avenue late Saturday morning. Ernestina Magana, 23, from Bloomington attempted to evade police, even jumping out of the moving vehicle at one point, but was eventually caught. The vehicle came to a stop after colliding with a planter wall. Inside the car were bags of jewelry, numerous cell phones, iPads and a 42-inch screen TV from a series of residential burglaries. Ms. Magana was arrested for the stolen property, including driving the stolen vehicle, for resisting an officer and for the pursuit. Monday, December 17 A resident in the 600 block of Lehigh Drive received a frightening wake-up call when roused from an afternoon nap by an armed intruder prying open her bedroom door. When the burglar saw the woman, he called out that he was going to get a gun and ran off in an unknown direction, according to the resident. He never returned, but a knife was found
near the doorway. The man had entered the house through an unlocked window. The resident describes the intruder as a Hispanic or black male about 5 foot 6 or 8 inches tall, weighing 150-160 pounds with short dark hair, clean cut and bushy eyebrows. Tuesday, December 18 A group of thieves are all set for the holiday festivities to begin. Surveillance at Sprouts Farmers Market at 835 W. Foothill Blvd. revealed a trio of females taking off with 3 shopping carts filled with 150 bottles of wine Tuesday night. The beverages, valued at about $2000 total, had been accidentally left on the stores loading dock. The thieves took off in a black 4-door sedan. Investigation continues. **** After rear-ending a car at Bonita Avenue and Indian Hill at approximately 1:15 p.m., 67-year-old Donald Sheldon gave the other driver his insurance information and drove off. His quick exit didnt keep police from tracking him down. Officers responded to the address on Mr. Sheldons insurance card and found him to be under the influence of alcohol. Additionally, a 6-ounce cup of vodka was found in his car, according to Lt. Vander Veen. Mr. Sheldon was arrested for driving under the influence.

ASB students Target needy families for holiday gifting

our average teenager needs little encouragement to go on a Target shopping spree, armed with plenty
While Claremont High School ASB members got to do exactly that, they werent filling their carts with treats for themselves. Instead, they were shopping for 3 low-income families within the Claremont Unified School District who, without some help, might have had a pretty sparse Christmas. Student government members used to conduct their annual Adopt-a-Family program through the Salvation Army according to 10-year ASB director Jack Harper. In recent years, however, they have opted to work with staffers at the Claremont Unified School District in order to ensure that their efforts benefit nearby families. The students felt the need to give back to their own community, Mr. Harper said.
While the identities of the local families selected are anonymous, the students do know that they comprise a total of 7 CUSD students, ranging in age from 5 to 18. The biggest family includes 3 girls, ages 5, 6 and 9, and an 11-year-old boy.
They also know a little about the students, because they received a Christmas wish list, accompanied by the age and gender of each kid, to aid them in their gift selection. Their budget, $245 for each child plus a grocery store gift certificate of about $100 for the parents, came from ASBs Charity League fund. They raised the money through 2 dances they sponsor each year as well as through activities like manning the student store. During their Target jaunt, the student government members made a real game of their philanthropic task. The students were organized into 3 teams, each representing an adopted family. They then had only 30 minutes to find the perfect gifts. The winning team went over by a single cent! They werent just competing against the clock but also against one another to see who could come the closest to spending exactly their budgeted amount. Its really fun to be in charge of it, said ASB president Madison Weigand, who is in her fourth year participating in the Adopt-a-Family program. On Wednesday, the students wrapped the gifts, along with a present that each provided personally to add to the treasure trove, during class. A prize was also awarded for the loveliest wrapping job. On Friday, those toys and giftsranging from Barbies and toy cars to a Nintendo DS and clotheswere dropped off at the district office, in order to be distributed in time for the holidays.
COURIERphoto/STeven Felschundneff ASB president Madison Weigand, treasurer Joyce Kim, ASB vice president Maranatha Croomes and ASB secretary Cristina Gonzalez organized a gift shopping spree for CUSD families through Claremont High Schools student government. The students held a competition to see who could spend the closest to a prearranged amount on each family. After the presents were wrapped on Wednesday, CUSD officials picked them up and distributed them to 3 area families.
ASB additionally organized a school-wide Toys for Tots drive, helmed by ASB vice president Maranatha Croomes, benefitting a local organization for teen fathers. Theyre trying to do their best to be parents, so its good for us to help out, Maranatha said. Likewise, the ASB members love helping out their adopted families. These are all people in the district, which brings it closer to home. It could be people we know, said Madison, whose team shopped for a 10-year-old boy and a 16-year-old girl. That definitely is a big factor. We really wanted to get them the best Christmas we can. While they are happy to give, the ASB members confess that they had a few moments of envy during their shopping trip. I personally saw the Nerf gun, and that was pretty
awesome, Maranatha joked. At times during the shopping extravaganza, the 35 self-appointed Christmas elves got pretty enthusiastic. The decimal count in Target went up, Mr. Harper said. The student government director said he is always impressed by the generosity of the teens he encounters in ASB and at CHS at large. With whats expected of them academically as well as in their co-curricular activities, kids schedules are so regimented, he said. And yet there are so many clubs we have on campus that, in the course of the year, reach out not just to people in the community but to people in the world. I think its amazing what kids do today.

Laymanizing the latest in lex

by Mellissa Martinez
ts that time of year again, the end. As we look back and take inventory, how will 2012 be remembered? Was it amazeballs or bang tidy? Did you zoosh it up or was it filled with a lot of squadoosh? When it comes to summarizing such an eventful year, why stick with old, overused words when there are so many new terms at our disposal?
Those who love the cutting edge can thank Collins dictionary for some of the more colorful additions this year. At my house, our 3 favorites (and most likely to be used) are floordrobe, a pile of clothes left on the floor of a room; hangry, irritable as a result of feeling hungry; and laymanize, to simplify technical information into a form that can be understood by ordinary people. They also added amazeballs, an exclamation meaning amazing; zoosh up, to make more exciting or attractive; squadoosh, a noun that means nothing; bang tidy, something of exceptionally good quality; and mommy porn, inspired by the naughty best seller Fifty Shades of Grey. Although some purists are protesting these additions as silly and potentially degrading, people at Collins have a different take on the matter. They explain that most dictionaries are static. Relying on pop culture, science and technology, Collins editors choose to focus on emerging words that are in circulation. Even if fringe groups are using them, theyre worthy of consideration! In contrast, Merriam-Webster is a bit more conservative in its word-admissions.

Definition of insanity
Dear Editor: Regarding the latest in an extremely long list of shootings in this country, I would like to make some observations: we glamorize war and invade countries that didnt attack us; we promote further violence by having a death penalty; we have 2-and-a-half times the per-capita gun ownership of any other country in the world (and 2-and-a-half times the murder rate); its harder to register to vote than it is to get a gun permit in many states; we have an entire political party which voted unanimously against a ban on assault rifles and we promote (sometimes through religious groups) fear and hatred against Islam, undocumented aliens, African-Americans and gays (and others). Why are we surprised when horrifying incidents such as the shootings in Connecticut take place? To say we need to reevaluate our gun control laws is a gross understatement. One of the arguments for more guns that I have heard is If the teachers had been armed, there wouldnt have been as many kids killed. My question is this: Do we really want our children and grandchildren attending schools where the teachers carry guns? Its not a case of violating someones Second Amendment rights. Its a case of what is going to make our nation (especially our children) safer and more secure. The definition of insanity is Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. What we are doing is not working; lets drop our political partisanship and look at the facts. The answer is not more guns; the answer is more complicated. Critical thinking about this issue is paramount. Its time for change and a re-evaluation

Gun violence in America

Dear Editor: Another mass killing of innocentsone of many this year, when nearly 10,000 Americans died by gun violence. Its common event in our country where semiautomatic weapons are owned by more and more citizens, the same kind that were used in Connecticut. Yes, we need to stop glorifying violence in our media and provide access to mental health services, but the ready availability of lethal weapons fuels deadly consequences when anger or illness overwhelms reason. It has happened this year in Colorado, Wisconsin, Michigan and now in Newtown, Connecticut, a town about the size of Claremont. History tells us the gun lobby has dominated the policy debate with their passion, dollars and lobbyists, so the numbers of semiautomatic weapons and mass killings are likely to continue. Other civilized countries are incredulous, but America has 90 weapons for every 100 citizens and reformers have regularly been outmaneuvered by the gun lobby. Despite nearly two-thirds of citizens supporting bans on assault weapons, the fact is the gun lobby wants the right to mass murder weapons more than the ma-
jority of ordinary citizens want to end the killings. Since we have not demanded the 2004 renewal of the Brady Bill, to outlaw more assault weapons and large clips for ammunition, we all have blood on our hands and share responsibility for the deaths of these 20 innocent children. We owe these children and families more than just our sympathy. We owe them action to curb the free flow of mass killing weaponry. Will you ask your congress member or senator to renew the Brady Bill? History says youll let the NRA dictate the answers. Do they speak for you?

Slashing what helps

Dear Editor: Robert Ferguson grouses that we are living in what he calls an entitlement state. He would prefer the good old times when it was necessary for individuals to plan for and cope with tough times and take responsibility for their own lives. He is right that we have moved away from the old times that he loves so much and have created a modest but not great entitlement state. What he is wrong about is complaining about that change in American life. Instead, he and we should be proud that this country has taken important steps toward a better quality of life for very very many of us. It is a huge variety of entitlement programs that have accomplished that. Mr. Ferguson seems to love the times when, for example, chalk would be added
to milk to improve the appearance without regard to the nutritional consequences; when quite young children were sent out to work in order to keep their family afloat; and when, if you couldnt save enough from hard work with meager wages, you had to struggle with lack of food, housing and medical care in your old age. And on and on. We should all be very thankful that the United States has moved some distance away from those times that Mr. Ferguson grows nostalgic for. The aim of the welfare state is two-fold: to provide a safety net for those who, for whatever reason, typically something not or not fully their fault, are having a difficult time of it (food stamps, unemployment benefits, etc) and, secondly, to provide the wherewithal for everyone to have a richer and more full life (public education, etc). Mr. Ferguson (and letter writers Scott Grannis and Bruce Spena) do not want income taxes to go up on those who have more in order to pay for an improved life for those who have less. But they leap from there to claiming that what must be done is to cut those programs that have improved the quality of American life for most of the population (cut entitlements.) It never crosses their minds to think of other cuts that could and should be made (our military budget) and, especially, they never think of what would be the most effective means of improving our revenues and preserving the huge successes of our welfare state: putting people to work through the government creation of jobs. No, their sole thought is to slash the programs that the less well off depend on and the programs (even Big Bird) that make life better for the 99 percent of us.

City finances
Dear Editor: I am concerned about the quote attributed to city of Claremont Finance Director Adam Pirrie regarding selection of a new bank for city funds, Pricing (bank fees and charges), while important, will not be the primary factor in identifying the successful bidder. I am troubled by the idea that charges a bank levies for services is not one of the primary factors being taken into consideration. Yes, entrusting city funds to a bank that has exhibited socially responsible behaviors is a factor that should enter deliberation, but it seems irresponsible to pay less attention to expenses levied by that bank. Mr. Pirrie states, The bank with the highest overall rating [California Reinvestment Act ranking] will be recommended to the council for approval of contract. I think it is safe to assume these rankings are based on various actions of which citizens of Claremont may, or may not, be supportive, but over which they will have no oversight or control. Although Claremont tax dollars, in the form of bank fees and charges, will be involuntarily utilized regardless of which bank is chosen, it seems that the pricing of those fees and charges should remain a major consideration. The more money we keep available to the city, the more oversight and control we have about how we want that money to be utilized. John Roseman

Local olives
READERS COMMENTS
Dear Editor: I read with interest the article titled The Gift of Bounty: Scripps hosts colleges first olive harvest in the COURIERs Holiday Magazine. For many years living in Claremont, I enjoyed going around to neighbors olive trees, and trading with them for a bucket of olives and, in exchange, giving them a quart of eating olives processed Graberstyle. Then, a few years ago came the insect infestation, still prevalent today, whereby every local olive tree is infected by a moth which lays eggs on the olive and in each olive are born many little worms. If you look closely at a local olive youll note tiny spots and, if you cut into a spot, will find a worm. Now, Graber can only use olives from their orchards in northern California, where the infestation has not yet reached. I now have to buy from Graber any olives I wish to process for eating. I do miss the local olive largess. Or, have you found it possible to press the local olives, worms and all?

This was our tenth year of providing help to local families. Along with our crew of volunteers, more than 75 students from the Cal Poly Society of Accountants, the Circle K, the Honor College and Beta Alpha Psi wrapped more than 400 gifts to get ready for Santas arrival and served as elves on the night of the event. Funding for this project comes from donations, our annual film festival and year-round activities.

Dear Editor: We, Americans, constantly hear from the right wing of the Republican Party the refrain that we should go back to the good old days of personal responsibility and do away with so-called entitlements. In the Preamble to the Constitution and in the Necessary and Proper Clause of the Constitution, the founders talked about providing for and promoting the general welfare of we the people. Since when is it an entitlement to provide for a
guaranteed retirement pension for the elderly and retired? Fewer and fewer corporations include pensions as part of their benefit package, thus it is even more important today to insure all Americans that they have a safe and dependable retirement income. Health is a right and not a privilege. Medicare provides for those over a certain age healthcare. Government exists to provide for the health and safety of all Americans, and yes, to provide and promote for the general welfare of all of the people. This tough love, paternalistic view that no matter what the circumstances of a person's fate it is up to their own devises to provide for themselves, ignores the reality of life where many among us are in a tough way not of our own doing. It was not long ago when banks, created the Great Recession, which put people out of work and in harms way. It is a fiction to believe that government is not necessary and that we can be totally responsible for taking care of ourselves. We live in communities and not on an island separated from the world. We are dependent on each other. One is tempted to believe that those who espouse this Clint Eastwood, fictional world of Dirty Harry and personal responsibility are the same ones who don't want to pay any taxes. The world of the rugged individual died with the Mountain Men of the 19th Century. For those who live with the assistance of Social Security we have earned what we receive. Gar Byrum

Youth sports get early gift from Sunrise Rotarians
arly Christmas gifts made their way to a surprised group of coaches this week as Claremonts Sunrise Rotarians bestowed $8000 to the citys youth sports.
Santa Claus and a parade of Sunrise Rotarians arrived at the Youth Sports Committee meeting last Tuesday, checks in hand. The unexpected interruption came without any complaint from committee members as members of the service club handed over their largest donation yet to Claremonts budding athletes, thanks to the success of their fifth annual Turkey Trot charity run. This year each of the 8 sports represented on the committee received needed funds to support registration costs. The Turkey Trot has really grown into this terrific thing, said club president Doug Thompson, who also chairs the organizations Youth Scholarship Committee. Its truly a charity run. The citys Sunrise service group has dedicated its time over the decades to multiple causes, donating books to young students in Africa or helping eradicate polio. In recent years, its attentions have also been focused on helping out youth not so far from home. 8000 people participate in Claremonts local sports and, if you think about
it, are one of the citys most valuable groups, Mr. Thompson reflected. These athletes are on the field every Saturday with their parents watching for 10-15 years of their life and yet they dont get a lot of recognition. The idea of supporting youth sports developed, fittingly enough, while Mr. Thompson and other Rotary members were playing a game of softball about 5 years ago. Tossing around ideas of how to further Sunrise Rotarys community service, one of its 4 primary goals, the relatively little funding local youth sports receive was among discussion points. A lot of these sports are being cut way back, Mr. Thompson said, adding that when he discovered that the total amount being provided from all sources to help financial hardships for all sports teams in town was $2500, I thought, Thats ridiculous! We needed to change that. Out of that conversation the Youth Sports Scholarship was born, bringing financial support to athletes aged 8-18 who attend Claremont schools. The Turkey Trot fundraiser was developed to help donate to both this new, local focus and the clubs international causes. Half of the proceeds go directly to young athletes struggling to afford their activity of choice. Of the events Sunrise Rotary has held over the years, the one that has garnered the most attention is, without a doubt the Turkey Trot, a Thanksgiving morning 5K

race for those looking to put in some work before feasting. The event is particularly poignant, says Rotarian Adam Russell, as many of the volunteers and participants are the athletes and families of the athletes the Rotary scholarship helps. About 100-150 people volunteer to run and a lot are high school kids and athletes in their uniform helping us out, Mr. Russell said. Its growing popularity reveals that the event is as meangingful to its participants as it is to its event coordinators. Since the Turkey Trots first go, Sunrise Rotary and its Youth Sports Scholarship program has helped over 700 kids afford to play local sports. More than $30,000 has been pro-
vided in the last 3 years, according to Mr. Thompson, and as a result of last Novembers Turkey Trot alone, Sunrise Rotarians will be able to provide $15,000 in athletic scholarships this year. Instead of simply cutting a check to a sports organization, Sunrise Rotarians go a step further. The money given through its scholarships is specifically designated to supplement rising registration costs, providing for those unable to pay the signup fee to play ball. For the Claremont region of the American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO), it means 20 or more kids are able to play.

CLAREMONT SUNRISE ROTARY continued from the previous page
We have tried to keep our registration fees as consistent as possible over the past 4 years, but times are difficult and there are lots of families with multiple kids playing sports, said Ed Tomkins, regional commissioner of the Claremont AYSO. We appreciate what Sunrise has been able to do and we encourage people to continue supporting it [through the Turkey Trot]. Claremont Little League refuses to turn away players unable to afford registration costs, but the $1000 received will help offset the costs it fronts for players in need. Its a struggle every year, said Amy Weiler, president of Claremont Little League, of the financial hardships experienced by some of their players. [The Sunrise Rotarians] have really showed how much they appreciate the benefit sports provide the youth in our city. While focusing on ensuring that Claremont youth are able to experience the benefits associated with sports play excess funds have allowed Rotarians to provide needed equipment updates. In August, Sunrise members donated 40 new helmets with the latest Concussion Reduction Technology to the CHS football team. Before that time, the helmets hadnt been updated in 4 years, said Mr. Thompson. With the service clubs continuing dedication to Claremonts next generation of sports stars, Rotarians Service Above Self is becoming more than just a motto. Its an action plan. It takes on a whole new meaning when you see the joy on the kids faces, Mr. Thompson said. Its amazing. Claremont Sunrise Rotary meets on Wednesdays at 7:15 a.m. at St. Ambrose Church, 830 W. Bonita Ave., in Claremont. To find out more about the Youth Sports Scholarship or to apply, visit the Sunrise Rotary webpage at www.claremontsunriserotary.org. Beth Hartnett

A bit of Ireland is coming to Claremont
An additional element is being added to the always popular musical sounds of Claremonts Michael Ryan as he combines Michael Ryan and Friends with Craig Haus, an Irish band, and dancers from the Larson Academy of Irish Dance for Spirit of Ireland performances on January 4, 5 and 6 at the Candlelight Pavilion. A veteran of the music circuit throughout southern California and a number of tours abroad, Michael, a Claremont High School graduate, and skilled classical guitarist and instructor in the music department at the University of La Verne, explains that in addition to the traditional and sometimes haunting Celtic music of Ireland, he has over the years become interested in what is known as the Irish Pub sound. Craig Haus has established a loyal following for the genre, and adds Irish jigs, reels and hornpipes. The element of Irish Dance is scheduled to be added by a trio of performers, Tasha and Julie Straszewski and Time Martin, ranked high in west coast and world-wide competitions. Doors at the Pavilion open at 6:45 p.m. for 7:30 curtain times on Friday and Saturday evenings, and at 12:15 p.m. for Sundays matinee performance at 12:45 p.m. Tickets ($25) reservations for the shows, which were a sell-out last year, can be made by calling 626-1254.

Sumner/Danbury toy drive brings out generosity, visit from NBC News
They say good things come in small packages.
The adage holds true for the slew of toys gathered by the students of Sumner/Danbury Elementary School to benefit Toys for Tots this holiday season. From baby dolls to Barbies and from Nerf guns to Hot Wheels cars, they will brighten Christmas for local kids who might otherwise have gone without presents. It also applies to third grader Axel Garcia Jr., an 8year-old with a heart for kids who are less fortunate, who came up with the idea for a school-wide toy drive. On hearing his sons plan, Axel Garcia Sr. stepped in to add the sponsorship and philanthropic heft of the local Kiwanis, of which he is a member. Soon, toys began to pour in, donated by Sumner/Danbury families, by Kiwanians and by the communities of other local schools like Oakmont and Vista del Valle. The Claremont Police Department also joined the effort, heading to the local Target for a toy spree to the tune of more than $400. By Thursday, the day of Sumner/Danburys annual Holiday Sing, an estimated 1,000 toys had been collected, and more were still pouring in. The Salvation Army will distribute the toys to low-income families in the Pomona Valley. The efforts of Axelwho received a certificate of appreciation from Mayor Larry Schroederand the overall success of the toy drive were hailed by district luminaries. What an apt word youre studying this month: generosity. Youve made generosity come alive, said CUSD Superintendent Jim Elsaser, speaking before a crowd of some 200 people, including students, parents, Sumner/Danbury staff and Claremont Police officers. It shows the power of children and what they can do for a community, added school board member Jeff Stark. The toys got the star treatment, too. They were collected by representatives of the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, wearing full dress uniform, and transported with pomp and circumstance by NBC weathercaster Fritz Colemans double-decker Holiday Lights bus, which was festooned with colored lights, a wreath and holiday-themed inflatables.
Sumner student Axel Garcia, 8, holds the certificate he received from Mayor Larry Schroeder on Thursday during an assembly at the school. Axel started a Toys For Tots campaign at Sumner 2 weeks ago that quickly spread, resulting in a large donation for the charitable organization.
For 11 holiday seasons, Mr. Coleman has toured local neighborhoods, looking for the most festively decorated houses to highlight on the evening news. This year, the bus has taken on the additional role of collecting toy donations. Mr. Coleman was not at the Sumner/Danbury event, which was a touch disappointing for the school community, who had expected that the noted TV personality would be on hand. The bus was there, though, to collect the Christmas bounty and an NBC news crew spurred students to wave each time the TV camera swept past. Axel Jr. not only showed initiative. He showed remarkable poise as he addressed the crowd, saying, Thank you everyone for making this a great event. Happy holidays! Everyone knew the toy drive would be good for

needy families, as every little bit helps. No one, however, could have anticipated how many toys would be collected, according to Sumner Principal Kristin Robinson. We had toys coming in every day. They were coming in so fast, we didnt know where to put them, she said. The media attention was also notable, said Gunnery Sergeant Marcus A. Booth, Toys for Tots coordinator for the Bell office of the Marine Corps Reserve. Not only is it a larger drive but weve got Channel 4 out here. It lets people see that even a young third grader can spark the kindling to get something like this going, Sergeant. Booth said. We [Toy for Tots] are just the middleman, he continued. This is the community giving back to itself. That kind of giving feels good, said 6th grader Jacob Pohorely. Im glad to help give toys and games to help kids have fun and have something to do so they wont be bored this holiday season and bored in lifeto give them something to do so they wont be worried about the ordeals in life, Jacob said. After the Toys for Tots ceremony was over and before the students launched into a holiday program ranging from Im Getting Nuttin For Christmas to the Polynesian-themed Mele Kalikimaka, Sumner/Danbury students launched into their school theme: We share one heart/Come together and the teamwork. This is my favorite part, enthused Sumner Office Manager Melissa Smith. This song is so wonderful.

I can't say enough about Mason's easy-going professionalism. I have worked with many real estate agentsbuying and selling a homesome good and some not so good, but Mason stands above the rest. Although a busy agent, he made us feel like we were his only clients. It is obvious that Mason takes pride in his work and helped us through what has usually been a very stressful process. We were always informed, updated and met personally when needed. There was never pressure, unnecessary stress or unanswered questions. I will recommend everyone I know to Mason!
