Dear Editor: This is in response to the person responsible for sending an anonymous letter to my wife, Claremont Park Ranger Pamela Stevenson, and I. We received the anonymous letter in the mail on Monday, September 23. The letter was critical of a another Pam Stevenson, who has published letters in the COURIER. My wife has never written a comment or sent an editorial to the Claremont COURIER. The letter was received at our home address. The wrong address, as it was sent to the wrong Pam Stevenson. The writer of the anonymous letter was disappointed in the comments of Pam Stevenson to the COURIER. It commented on the liberal Democrat, name-calling and using language such as right wing nut jobs. My wife was accused of being a left wing **** *****. The writer was irritated by comments made in the COURIER about Todd Starnes and Miss America, and told the other Pam Stevenson to refrain and to not spew out articles to the local newspaper. The writer stated that diversity is one of the many things that makes our country exceptional, which I thought was hypocritical. Statements were made to quit embarrassing your husband and that he or she will see you driving around town in the city-owned Ranger truck again soon. He or she claimed to be an Independent, not a Republican or Democrat. Because the letter was sent to our personal address and included comments and name-calling while making refer-
ence to my wifes work truck, we have accepted this letter as threatening. We have informed the Claremont Police Department and the city of Claremont. Pam and I are not Independents. We are pretty far right and very conservative. We dont tend to listen to namecallers and ill-informed people, nor do we believe the liberal or conservative spin on the news channels. Ill-informed people make bad decisions, based on bad data. This ill-informed anonymous writer, who is too scared to be upfront, has made a distinct threat. My wife and our families have been in Claremont for over 58 years. My wife works as a part-time city park ranger for very little pay and no benefits. Shealong with all the rangers and volunteer rangersgive up weekends to deal with parking, games, coaches, beer, excrement, the homeless, animals, broken bones, fires and so much more. She and all the rangers do this, not for the pay, but because they want to. I wish to make this very clear to the writer: I love my wife dearly and in no way has she ever embarrassed me. We also hold these truths to be self evidentall the amendments of the Constitutionincluding the first and the second. I will protect my wife to the fullest extent of the law and to the best of my ability. I will do this for all the Pam Stevensons in Claremont.

Opinions are divided on effectiveness of health care act
bamacare is here. After years of back-andforth battles on Capitol Hill, the Affordable Care Act (ACA)which will require most American citizens to carry insurance by 2014, whether through an employer, the state or a private institutionis set to take effect in a matter of months. Enrollment for ACA coverage, however, began this week.
The date might be set, but the details remain murky, with lingering questions as to how the new legislation will affect the millions of Americans who will now be mandated to have medical coverage. Tensions run high with lawmakers stalemate on the nations budget and health care, leading to the first US government shutdown in more than 17 years. Despite the benefits of gaining access to health care and assistance to do so, there are concerns about the potential rise in costs. Then there are the restrictions on age rating, the amount an insurer will charge an individual for health insurance based on their age. Seniors typically accrue higher health costs than younger patients, but in order to keep health care affordable, states can implement age rating to spread out the costs among age groups. According to Americas Health Insurance Plans, more than 42 states currently have a ratio of 5:1, meaning seniors will
be limited from paying more than five times what a younger patient will pay. With new regulations set out by the ACA, however, states will no longer be able to set age rating higher than 3:1, meaning a potentially greater burden on those aged 18 to 30. Adding to the overwhelming nature of this legislation is the sheer weight of the outlined changes to the ACA. More than 2,400 pages detail the changes broken down into 10 sections. And despite the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act three years ago, many remain in the dark about the revisions. According to a poll conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation, 42 percent of Americans continue to be confused about the pending health care changes. Claremont residents are taking matters into their own hands. On Sunday, October 13, locals will gather at Claremonts Taylor Hall to discuss the impact the ACA will have on Claremont constituentsthe senior population, student demographic and small businesses among them. There is a lot of misinformation out there, and people do not understand how [this legislation] will affect them, said Sandy Hester, a Claremont resident and member of the American Institute for Progressive Democracy, sponsors of the October 13 health forum. Its going to affect different people in different ways. We want to give everyone an opportunity to ask questions about how exactly they will be affected. The American Institute for Progressive Democracy has a history of presenting public forums on the health care debate. In 2008, prior to President Barack

School of Theology president expands goals, vision
he Reverend Dr. Kah-Jin Jeffrey Kuan, who will be inaugurated on Wednesday, October 23 as the seventh president of the Claremont School of Theology, is looking forward to helping the local theological school grow both in the number of students and scope of its vision.
CST has evolved in recent years to become an institution where the study of faiths other than Christianity is not just an elective option, but an integral part of the schools curriculum. Much of this cross-pollination has been made possible by the institution of the affiliated Claremont Lincoln University, an ecumenical and inter-religious institution that CST co-founded in 2011. Claremont Lincolns other founders include the Islamic Center of Southern California and the Academy for Jewish Religion, California. The school is working to expand its affiliation with other groups, most recently collaborating with the International School for Jain Studies and the Federation of Jain Associations in North America to initiate the International School for Jain Studies at Claremont Lincoln. The students of CST seek an education that will prepare them for careers in areas such as church leadership, education or scholarship, primarily in a Christian context. Increasingly, however, they are looking to be able to

work hand-in-hand with people of other faiths in order to maximize their impact and to acknowledge the global flavor of life today. There is a lot of excitement on campus. The faculty is very committed to the kind of theological education we are now offering at CST, Rev. Kuan said. The emphasis on understanding multiple faiths, even as students delve deeper into their own, is a trend that has expanded in the wake of 9/11. For Rev. Kuan, an ordained elder in the United Methodist Church, it is nothing new. A first generation Asian American of Chinese ancestry, he is deeply influenced by the fact that he was born and raised in Malaysia in a multi-ethnic, multi-religious context. Later, going to seminary involved courses in other religious traditions, such as Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism, he said. The need to know what other people believe is something Ive held strongly with me for the longest time. True understanding does not spring from the mere study of different cultures and philosophy, Rev. Kuan said. Were trying to create a new model of religious education where we have people from across different faiths be in the classroom together, he explained. Its not just an intellectual pursuit. In many ways, we need to go beyond finding common ground, because that only goes so far, he continued. We have to find a way to live with our differences. Were trying to create a different kind of world. Not too many societies have learned to do that. As idealistic as this goal may sound, it is also proving to be practical. The Claremont School of Theology, along with many other theological institutions, has faced some tough times in recent years, due in large part to the recession. For theological schools, economic problems are exacerbated by the fact that their alumni, given the fields to which they gravitate, tend to not have very deep pockets. The schools enrollment was also adversely impacted when CST lost its accreditation in 2006, although the school quickly regained its accredited status. At its nadir, CST had an entering class of only 50 students. CST currently has a total of 125 full-time equivalent students. Rev. Kuan would like to see that number raised to the amount of students the school has room for, 400. This year, between the Claremont School of Theology

and the Claremont Lincoln University, the entering class was 100. If this trend continues for the next few years, CST will be back to full capacity by 2018. Rev. Kuan is optimistic that the school will continue to grow. Students are coming here because of the re-branding that has happened the last couple of years with a new emphasis on inter-religious education, he said. We are clearly on the trajectory of becoming the kind of school we used to be. Attention to multi-religious issues is not the only growing trend in religious education. There is also an increased conversation about gender and LGBTQ issues such as the role of women and of gay and transgender people in church leadership. While Rev. Kuan says CST would like to remain open to students wherever they fall on the theological spectrum, he characterizes the institution as being more on the progressive side of Christianity. A couple of years ago, CST created the Center for Sex, Gender and Religion, which he said was a very important step for the school to take.
Rev. Kuan earned a PhD in Old Testament from Emory University, an MTS from Perkins Theological School and a Bachelor of Theology from Trinity Theological College in Singapore. He last served as dean of Drew University Theological School and, before that, spent nearly 20 years on the faculties of the Pacific School of Religion and Graduate Theological Union teaching in the areas of the Hebrew Bible and Asian and Asian-American hermeneutics. Rev. Kuan, who authored numerous publications related to biblical interpretation in Asian and Asian American contexts, explained this area of interest. Over the years, biblical scholars began to see how important context is to our reading of the Bible. A number of us began to take seriously our Asian context and our Asian American identity, he said. Many Asian Americans share the experience of being the perpetual foreigner, as well as the public perception that they are the model minority, Rev. Kuan said. By looking at scripture through those lenses, he said he was able to understand certain biblical texts with new clarity. Lately, however, Rev. Kuan has little time for scholarship. Along with his new administrative role, he currently chairs the Commission on Theological Education of the United Methodist Church University Senate. He also serves on the boards of the Reconciling Ministries Network and Asian American and Pacific Islander United Methodist Clergywomen Association, and chairs the Member Council of the Hispanic Theological Initiative Consortium. Rev. Kuan also has a family, including his wife, Val Toh, two grown daughters and a granddaughter. And his plans for the School of Theology are many. Along with increasing the schools multi-religious factor, he is working to grow its population by reaching out to minority groups such as Asian Americans, African Americans and Hispanics and to strengthen its internship program. Its a tall order, but Rev. Kuan is looking forward to the challenge. I hope to stay here a while to work with this institution so that it will thrive again, he said. Rev. Kuans inauguration will take place Wednesday, October 23 at 4 p.m. at the Chapel Lawn on the CST campus, 1325 N. College Ave. A reception in the Haddon Conference Center will follow. Guests are asked to RSVP to 447-2555.

Friday, September 27 Police are investigating a case of sex trafficking that surfaced in the city of Claremont on Friday. A 16-year-old girl from Oakland placed a 9-1-1 call from Auto Center Drive to alert police that she ran away from home with a man who was using her as a prostitute, according to Lt. Ciszek.

EDUCATION
Steffen hopes to bring business acumen to school board
etween running two local businesses Wheeler Steffen Sothebys International Realty and Wheeler Steffen Property Managementand participating in an array of community organizations, Paul Steffen has a recognizable face in the Claremont community.
Should he win a seat on the Claremont Unified School District Board of Education in the November 5 election, Mr. Steffen says he would make an effort to be even more accessible. It would start with regular office hours, allowing CUSD parents, teachers, students, staff, administrators and residents to share their thoughts. I consider it one of the duties of a board member to be an ombudsman for the community, he said. Every now and then, [people] find themselves stuck within the system and they need a relief valve, someone who might be able to carry their concerns to the right person. Community members will be able to carry questions and concerns to Mr. Steffen at several upcoming campaign events. These include an afternoon of conversation and light refreshments on Sunday, October 6 from 2 to 3 p.m. at the house of Jim and Jessica Marchant (128 E. Green St. in Claremont) and a wineand-cheese mixer at the home of Pat and Bob Hauducoeur (2420 Forbes Ave.) on Thursday, October 10 from 7 to 8 p.m. Mr. Steffen has high praise for the current board and the progress they have made. This includes hiring superintendent Jim Elsasser, with whom the district inked a 3-year contract in June. It is a move that should put an end to the remarkable leadership turnover and subsequent instability that the district has experienced in recent years. Mr. Steffen said Mr. Elsasser, whom he has found to be thoughtful and approachable, seems to be a good addition to CUSD. He believes that the school board itself could be more approachable, an area in which he said the Claremont City Council has made great strides. When you go to Chamber mixers and other events around town, there are often several council members there, he said. It may be politicking, but Ive had the opportunity to express some concerns Ive seen them take quick notes and theyve promised to get back to me. Mr. Steffen, who said he really enjoys working with community organizations, is no stranger to getting out and about. He is a longtime member and past president of Claremont Rotary and chair of the executive committee for the Claremont Community Foundation. He has also participated with the Claremont Educational Foundation, the Claremont Chamber of Commerce and the Claremont Youth Sports Committee and served as an AYSO referee, among other involvements. He has pondered running for the Claremont school board in the past. What made
him take the plunge was the decision by school board member Jeff Stark, a local financial planner, not to CUSD run for reelection this ELECTION time around. With Jeff stepping aside, I was encouraged to run, said Mr. Steffen, who has a bachelors degree in economics from UCLA and an MBA from Pepperdine University. We need someone with a business background on the board. When it comes to doing cost-benefit analysis, a business person, who makes these decisions every single day, often has a unique perspective. A business perspective will be particularly useful in the next year to year-anda-half, when CUSD receives more than $13 million from the sale of the former district office and current service center. Last February, the short-lived La Puerta middle school was declared surplus and, while no auction date has been set yet, the site represents another source of potential income in the coming years. Mr. Steffen expressed his admiration for the way the school board handled the sale of the district office and the service center, relying on the expertise of an ad hoc committee of local realtors and property experts. He said the sites fetched prices far beyond what he had envisioned. When it comes time for La Puerta to be sold, he would like to ensure that a similarly efficient process be used. Funds pending from the sales that have already taken place will prompt the district and school board to assess spending priorities, Mr. Steffen said. Chief among these is deferred maintenance at the various school sites, and he feels he has the acumen to help with some tough decisions. Mr. Steffen points to his background in facilities management, a skill set gained not just from his current position as a property manager but also from his 5 years as fiscal officer for the athletic department at UCLA. At that post, the management of athletic facilities fell under his purview along with all the fiscal reporting for a department with a $20 million annual budget. I understand large buildings and what it takes to keep campuses operating, he said. Mr. Steffen is also familiar with Claremont schools, where he received his own K-12 education. He has grown children who attended Claremont schools, and he and his wife Dawn have a younger daughter, Lauren, who is currently an 8th grader at El Roble Intermediate School. Additionally, he has hosted exchange students and helped guide them through their year at CHS. Overall, we have really wonderful, dedicated teachers, he said. Its rare to see teachers have such huge concern for students, do such outstanding work and work so well together. They just need the freedom to find creative solutions that work for them. I believe the best solutions come from people who are doing their jobs. CUSD is beginning to implement the Common Core form of assessment, which should be fully in place by the 2014-2015 school year. Along with new

testing methods, the Common Core which is aimed at cultivating problemsolving skills and real-world applications over rote learningwill involve an allnew curriculum. Under Assembly Bill 86, Claremont schools will receive some $1.2 million in the next 2 years to facilitate such changes. The Common Core is going to force every single person associated with Claremont schools to rethink how we are teaching and how we are going to make the whole thing work, Mr. Steffen said. There are some opportunities for creative teaching ideas. Mr. Steffen acknowledges that his
campaign platform is short on new ideas, a decision he says is deliberate. One thing I believe is that until you sit on the other side of that desk, you have no idea about all the issues going into a decision, he points out. Im approaching this with an open mind so I can get caught up with certain decisions and understand the goals behind them. Until I understand, Im not going to advocate one thing over the other. Mr. Steffen does, however, advocate a policy of improving relations with any district stakeholders who might be feeling disenfranchised. Earlier in the campaign, the Claremont Faculty Association interviewed Mr. Steffen, along with the 4 other school board candidates, in preparation for making campaign endorsements. I was left with the impression that [members of the teachers union] arent feeling welcomed by the district and members of the school board, he said. It is a disconnect that Mr. Steffen would like to help remedy. I like putting together groups that arent communicating well and helping them find ways of communicating better, he said. For more information on Mr. Steffens campaign, visit Paul Steffen for Claremont School Board on Facebook. The COURIER will be making endorsements for the three open school board seats in a future edition. In the meantime, consult the Candidates Corner in this and upcoming editions for opportunities to meet the candidates and hear their views. Sarah Torribio

Lessons in speaking up, taking part

by John Pixley
m not shy. Gloria Allred didnt have to say it again. She didnt have to say it at all. It was perfectly clear that Gloria Allred isnt shy.
Not that she needed to make it clear. It was no doubt a big part of why the lawyer, perhaps the most famous one in America, spoke at Claremont McKenna Colleges Atheneum last week. Ms. Allred isnt shy about being in the news, speaking out at media events and representing those wronged in high-profile cases as she has done for 37 years and, this summer, when she represented women allegedly harassed in a blatantly sexual manner by San Diego Mayor Bob Filner who has since resigned, was no exception. And she wasnt shy about devoting a good part of her presentation at CMC to her adventures in San Diego. Indeed, thats the way she presented her work in San Diegoas an adventure. Or an Italian sex farce. Ms. Allred clearly reveled in describing Mayor Filners ridiculous, boorish behaviorthe groping, the ceaseless romantic propositions, the head-locks, as well as the toolittle-too-late promises and attempts to be a better mayorand her role in exposing and stopping it. As comical and theatrical as it might have sounded in her telling, it was, as she repeatedly pointed out, all too real and no laughing matter. She also couldnt resist reading an open letter she wrote in the midst of these adventures to Rush Limbaugh when the conservative radio host accused her of not going after Mayor Filner because of him being a Democrat. Her response was that he was either lying, didnt read the news or perhaps couldnt read. Grandstanding though she may have been, Ms. Allred made it clear that its important to stand up and speak out against sexual harassment, and all the more so on college campuses. She spent the rest of the hour or so talking about her work, also in the news lately, representing female students at Occidental College who claimed that their allegations of rape and sexual harassment werent taken seriously. In a much more straight-forward and, yes, legalistic manner, she explained that it is vital for students, both female and male, not to be shy when they are the victims of or when they see sexual harassment and for college administrators to deal with such allegations promptly and effectively.

It turned out that Im not shy was so much more than a flippant, throwaway line, soliciting chuckles, for Gloria Allred. It was her rallying cry for the students and the rest of us to be like her, to not be shy and be empowered. Being empoweredand learning to be empowered was also the message when I went to two talks on a previous Thursday evening not long after the colleges started their new year. (Yes, there are so many events going on at the colleges that it is often possible to attend more than one on one evening.) Unlike with Ms. Allred, I had not heard of the speakers, but both were happy discoveries for me, turning out to be well worth hearing. I started off by going to the Athenaeum again, where Eric Liu kicked off the fall semester speaking to the freshman class. Mr. Liu, who was a consultant to the Clinton administration and writes and speaks on democracy and citizenship, spoke eloquently and fervently on being an active participant, whether in college or in society. (He noted that the CMC freshmen class is in an unique position, starting off with a new college president and able to set a new tone at the school.) With the explanation that he was talking about more than voting and going through the motions, Mr. Liu pointed out that there are three components, all equally important, to being an active, engaged participant, not only in society but in personal relationships. One is power and understanding how it is used. One is characterbeing honest and consistent. And the other is practice. As with writing, it is important to practice, practice, practice interacting with people and society, open to learning more, including from mistakes. I left a bit early, during the Q and A session, to head over to Pomona College where, in the first of a year-long series of lectures called The Heart of Liberal Arts on liberal arts colleges that Im very excited about, Andrew Delbanco spoke on What Is College For? I was surprised to find the theater packed, but I guess I shouldnt have been, for it turns out Mr. Delbanco, who first con-
fessed to being like Woody Allen and disoriented anywhere west of the Brooklyn Bridge, is a well-known literary and cultural critic who teaches humanities and directs the American Studies program at Columbia University. After pointing out that colleges and universities and especially the humanities are "in trouble," with institutions of higher education being seen these days as for the elite and spoiled, what with luxurious amenities and students dealing with high cost and debt, etc., and with emphasis now on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), Mr. Delbanco asked why we should be concerned, why we should be alarmed, about this. He acknowledged being biased and a romantic when it comes to college, noting that fall is a poignant time of year for professors with the leaves falling and the weather getting cold (although maybe not here, he added half in jest), a reminder that theyre getting older as the students arent, but he went on to cite all kinds of references from Greek philosophy to Herman Melvilles Moby Dick supporting the case that higher learning makes one a better person, better able to relate to others. Mr. Delbanco posited that, more so than in medieval times when people went to college to learn about a specific thing, modern colleges and universities, particularly those specializing in the liberal arts, are about opening the mind and dialoguing, with the ideal classroom being where one can learn about oneself and others. I couldnt help but hear echoes of what I had heard Mr. Liu say earlier in the evening about practicing relating with others and with society. Indeed, Mr. Delbanco, who noted that he is an Italian Jew, stressed that this is why diversity and affirmative action is important at colleges and that he is pleased that his university and Pomona College have generous financial aid and grants, encouraging those who might never think of going to college, much less such a prestigious private one, to do so. It ended up that, for me, going to hear these two speakers I wasnt familiar with was a good example of what happens in being open and engaged, as should happen not only in a good class but also in engaged citizenship. And I also couldnt help going home that evening happy about what is happening in Claremont at The Colleges and being able to see it happen.

Meeting our needs

Dear Editor: I can only believe that our local police department has developed an intense jealousy over the Montclair Police Palace and also wants to spend tens of millions of tax dollars to have one of their own. Why cant our city council for once approve the least expensive approach that meets our needs instead of going along with nothing is too good for Claremont? Rather than continuing to look for a developer to tear down the old Richs on First Street between Oberlin and Cornell, making the parking problem even worse than it is now, how about taking a serious look at using the existing building, with appropriate modifications, for a new police facility? Everybody would be a winner.

There is no way to redefine the boundaries in favor of some neighborhoods without disadvantaging others. The result would be less freedom of choice and greater socio-economic concentration within individual schools. Is that what we want?

Whats most peculiar about the water rates in Claremont is that they go up by over 15 percent every three years, like clockwork. That is unheard of for any utility to increase its rates that much and that often. And this is true whether you use 10 gallons or 10 million gallons a month. Not even my cell phone company or the evil Time Warner cable increases their rates that much and that often. Like Alice, I have common sense. But on matters as important as this, I think one should do some research to have an opinion based on facts and not emotion. So I simply went online and looked at the application that Golden State filed with the government for the recent rate increase. I was absolutely shocked to find out that the number-one reason they need to raise rates so much is because their customers keep reducing their water usage! In other words, because Claremont residents are using less water than before, Golden State must raise rates to compensate. My goodness! So I guess we should tell all those rich folk with their koi ponds to increase their water usage so me, the little guy, can see lower rates. How can people be a part of the solution when they are confused on what the problem is? The problem is that our water rates keep skyrocketing every three years, and the solution is not to reduce water usage more because that will only raise rates more. The solution is to have some say and control over our water rates and, under the current system, that will never be the case. Compare, for instance, the process for the recent sanitation rate increase by the city to the water rate increase by Golden State. When the sanitation rate increase
was proposed, we were notified beforehand and had the ability to speak directly to the five people (our city council members) that would approve the increase. We could voice our opinions either by speaking during a city council meeting, by email or even at the Sunday Farmers Market and receive responses directly from them. Compare that to the water rate increase in which Golden State never engaged with the community as to why they needed to raise rates. We dont even know who to contact in the company to have a conversation. And the regulatory agency merely sent an inflatable boob to sit and pretend to listen to us complain without engaging in any discourse, and then they arbitrarily raised rates with no reasonable explanation. If you are okay with that process then by all means write a letter to the editor. If my common sense tells me anything, its that Golden State and their public relations goons are really the ones who wrote the letter from Alice McKay, and the more I read that letter the more it is blatantly obvious. Shame on you, Golden State Water! If theres anyone in this story that is the little guy, it is all of us, the city of Claremont, up against the Goliath tyrants of Golden State, who have complete control over something that is a basic necessity of life. Right now, Golden State owns every single drop of rain or melted snowflake that flows in to Claremont, and are just waiting for the day that they can use their massive profits to buy the rights to the very air that we breathe. This is not something we can fix by buying low-flow showerheads or re-landscaping our yards. This is about having control over the cost of a public good. And not just for our next water bill, but for the water bills of our children and all future generations. Arnold Tuason

HEALTH CARE continued from page 3
Change in health care, change in costs? Mr. Kominski does not anticipate a dramatic increase in the cost of health insurance, but not all are so sure. In an article written for The Federalist, John Davidsona 2013 fellow of the Claremont Institute, a local conservative think tankpoints out that the ACA assumes individuals will sign up for insurance through the exchange and pay their share of the premium in order to keep rates affordable. Mr. Davidson is not convinced. He points to a recent US Census Bureau survey that claimed over 4.7 million Americans earning more than 400 percent of the federal poverty level ($46,000 for an individual or $94,200 for a family of four) are uninsured. Its not that they cant afford some kind of insurance; its that theyve decided they dont want it, wrote Mr. Davidson, assuming a majority of these individuals are probably young and healthy. They might have never been to the doctor in their life and they dont feel like insurance is worth it. Mr. Davidson doesnt think these people will change, even though the ACA is making it possible. And he doesnt think the exchange will necessarily be an affordable option. He turns to Trader Joes as an example, noting that the grocer, which recently decided to drop coverage for part-time employees, claimed the exchange would be a good choice for some of those employees. While this may be so, he points out that exchange rates change by state and are not necessarily more affordable to these part-timers. The companys claim rests on the price of monthly premiums on the exchange, which will depend on the employees age and state of residence, among other things. If were talking about a 27-year-old Trader Joes em-
ployee in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the average monthly premium on the exchange could be as high as $172 a montha 146 percent increase from the average individual plan in New Mexico right now, he posed. Mr. Davidson conceded that subsidies might help, but not everyone qualifies or even cares to apply for them. Obamacare asks large numbers of people to buy something they dont think they need while preventing them from keeping bare bones catastrophic plans they might currently have. The entire exchange scheme comes down to a question of incentives, Mr. Davidson continued. What are people more likely to do? Will large numbers of young, healthy Americans agree to shell out hundreds of dollars a month for exchange coverage? Will most people who chose not to buy health insurance prior to Obamacare suddenly change their mind? Dont count on it. For Fred Lynch, associate professor of government at Claremont McKenna College and part of the 5Cs benefits committee, the answer is simple. The ACA will not have a great impact on the Claremont community. Really, this whole fuss involves about 7 million people, those who cant get insurance anywhere else, undocumented workers and young people that dont want the deduction taken out of their paycheck, Mr. Lynch said. And although some fear that, under the ACA, businesses will cut full-time employees in order to avoid paying insurance benefits, Mr. Lynch remains unconvinced. There has been a lot of press, but the evidence is spotty, he said.
able Care Act. If you take a poll asking about how people feel about Obamacare it gets a slightly negative majority, but if you ask about the Affordable Care Act you get a slightly positive majority, he said. Its part of the politics. When it comes down to it, the health care revamp presents a blending of both liberal and conservative points of view, he argues.
Trust in government is at an all-time low, Mr. Lynch noted However, he feels what the government has come up with is a good compromise for both liberal and conservative minds. It needs to be said that the Obama healthcare plan really nears Romneycare, and originally the system came from the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, Mr. Lynch said.
Judgments aside, the health care expert believes the positives outweigh the negatives, and appreciates that the ACA offers coverage of all Americans regardless of preexisting medical conditions. Mr. Lynch, author of One Nation under AARP: The Fight Over Medicare, Social Security and Americas Future, asserts this is crucial for the nations aging Baby Boomers. There is a built-in age discrimination factor to help those most vulnerable, that is, people over 50 that are not yet eligible for Medicare, Mr. Lynch said. Before, if you were in that age range and lost your job, and were diagnosed with diabetes or cancer or any number or chronic diseases that come with age, you either couldnt get insurance on your own or rates would be sky-high. The ACA will also provide the na-
Finding a balance lot of the hype surrounding health care reform has to do with the way information is presented, Mr. Lynch noted, such as the use of the term Obamacare for the Afford-
tions increasing numbers of underemployed or unemployed the chance to be insured while exacting a relatively small price from those who opt out. Those who decide against health insurance will be fined $95 for the first year, or one percent of their taxable income. In 2015, the fine rises to $325 or 2 percent of taxable income, and in 2016 the penalty will be $695 or 2.5 percent of income. Each year thereafter, that figure will be manipulated based on cost-of-living adjustments. What we are talking about is pooling, Mr. Lynch said. Everyone is putting their hat in the pool, with the hope that this is a lottery they wont win.

New COURIER writer looks forward to tackling slew of Claremont sports
his month, the COURIER welcomes a new face to the newspaper, that of freelance sports writer Bryan Stauffer.
Mr. Stauffer, a Cal Poly Pomona communications major, is looking forward to covering the Claremont athletics scene. Much of his new post involves keeping up with the doings of the various Claremont High School sports teams. Mr. Stauffer understands the experience of being a student athlete firsthand, having played baseball all 4 of his years at Diamond Bar High School. He is a longtime baseball fan, but despite the fact that he lives in southern California, dont bother asking him the usual question: Dodgers or Angels? He roots for the Chicago Cubs, a predilection he picked up from his dad, who was born in Illinois. When it comes to football, a sport Mr. Stauffer has followed with increasing interest in recent years, his preferred team is the Philadelphia Eagles. Its just a personal choice, he explains. I was a big fan of them growing up. Mr. Stauffer has opted for a journalism emphasis in his major, a pursuit that represents plan C for the budding writer. Like many kids before him, he grew up wanting to play professional baseball. He broke his forearm in half when he was in 8th grade, however, an injury that curtailed his throwing motion and affected him mentally throughout his high school sports career. With his dream no longer viable, Mr. Stauffer entered college as a kinesiology major, figuring it was a career that would keep him in close proximity to sports. After a couple of years, he realized that he wasnt cut out for science. He decided to try writing, switching his major and joining the Poly Post as a sports writer. This year, he is the sports editor for the student newspaper.
COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff Bryan Stauffer joins the COURIER staff as sports reporter.
I love it, he said. Im happy I switched my major. At 23, Mr. Stauffer is a firm denizen of the digital world. As such, he grew up more likely to check scores on MLB.com or ESPN.com than to open the sports page in a newspaper. Now that he is writing himself, though, he has been checking the work of sports writers in an effort to absorb format and style. I still consider myself fairly new to the world of journalism, he said. Mr. Stauffer is a particular fan of Jeff McClane, who covers the Philadelphia Eagles for the Philadelphia Inquirer. I like that hes not afraid to tell it how it is, he said. Hes objective and doesnt try to sugar-coat things. Mr. Stauffer is frank about a test that he faces, along with every other fledgling sports writer: covering sports he is less familiar with. In his case, these include water polo and golf. He remains undaunted, though.
I like to be challenged. I want to get my feet wet everywhere so I have options in the future, he said. He has been practical enough to explore realistic career options into which to channel his love of sports but in his off-time, Mr. Stauffer also has a frivolous side. Like an increasing amount of people, he likes to indulge in fantasy sports, an online competition in which participants act as general managers of virtual teams comprised of real players. He particularly favors fantasy football and baseball. Because it puts you in the managers shoes, it gives you the feeling youre in control of your destiny, he said. Beginning this past weekend, Mr. Stauffer and his father, the familys biggest sports fans, are increasingly seizing control of the remote. With playoffs for the World Series starting, they are watching plenty of baseball games, particularly when Cubs games are aired on WGN, a local Illinois channel. Being a Cubs fan is more about loyalty than about instant gratification, Mr. Stauffer said. The Cubs havent been good for 100 years, he joked. You have to be able to handle disappointment. Mr. Stauffer contacted the COURIER about a potential sports writing opening on the advice of a friend. He figured that he would get more one-on-one mentoring at a community paper than at a larger daily. The job is also a good fit for him because Claremont is relatively close to Jurupa, where he lives. Mr. Stauffer lived in Brea for the first 12 years of his life, where he attended elementary school at the BreaOlinda Christian School. He credits this foundation, along with the guidance of his parents, with making him who he is today. It brought me up and taught me to be a good Christian kid, he said. Sarah Torribio

Charlyne Warren
Mother, teacher, Southern gem
Charlyne Warren, a proud member of the Claremont community for almost 50 years, died on September 19, 2013 at home in her sleep. She was 81. Mrs. Warren was born on December 14, 1931 in Mississippi to Mattie Dromgoole Higdon and W.A. Higdon. She went on to earn a bachelors degree from Bob Jones University in Greenville, South Carolina and a masters degree in education from Cal State, Los Angeles. The mothers heart is the childs schoolroom, said Henry Ward Beecher. Mrs. Warren, as many of her former students still call her, was the mothers heart to many. And she, herself, never lost her childs heart. Beginning in 1967, Mrs. Warren was a longtime teacher in Claremont, retiring from Chaparral Elementary School in 1996 and continuing to substitute in the district through 2000. In 1991, she received a Los Angeles Music Center Bravo Award for her exemplary work with teaching arts education. But then again, she was often the recipient of a Bravo Award from her loved ones, especially during her last years of illness, them are unprintable. Among other hobbies, Mrs. Warren was fond of singing, reading, dancing, crossword puzzles, walking her dog and exercise, especially running and other forms of working out. As often as possible, she would head to the local Laemmles theater to take in a movie or to the Candlelight Pavilion for a show. Mrs. Warren was a former member of the P.E.O. Sisterhood of Pomona and a chorister of the Claremont Chorale. Indeed, a group from the chorale will be singing at her celebration of life next week. Mrs. Warren will be greatly missed by her friends, former students and family, who said she was dynamic and vibrant, enthusiastic and generous, nurturing and warmsimply a gem of joy to all who knew her.

Rev. Grace Jones Moore

Pioneering woman of faith, human rights activist
The Reverend Grace Jones Moore, of Claremont, died at home on Tuesday, September 17, 2013. She was 86. A native Californian, Rev. Moore was born on October 14, 1926 in Santa Ana. After graduating from Orange Union High School, she attended the University of Redlands, earning a Bachelor of Music degree in pipe organ. She also earned a Master of Religious Education degree at Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Philadelphia. In 1951, she married the Rev. Richard O. Moore, Jr. in Placentia, beginning 40 years of joint ministry together. After her retirement, she returned to school at Immaculate Heart College Center in Los Angeles and earned a masters degree in feminist spirituality. Rev. Moore served as organist and choir director at each church where she and her husband served: the Congregational Church in Caanan, Connecticut; San Ysidro (mission project), California; San Diego Kensington Church; Barstow Congregational Church and the West Garden Grove Congregational Church, where she was ordained in 1973 by the United Church of Christ. Rev. Moore continued her joint ministry at the Faith Community Church in Garden Grove and served as co-minister and organist/choir director for 15 years at the Lakewood United Church of Christ, retiring in 1991. Rev. Moore was a passionate advocate and activist who worked at the cutting edge to pioneer womens equality in all facets of life. Her lifelong endeavors to eliminate societys isms, whether it be sexism, classism, racism, etc., led to her energetic involvement in the United Church of Christ (UCC) at the local, association, conference and national levels as well as in the communities in which she lived. A born leader and organizer, Rev. Moore often served in major leadership roles for numerous organizations, including: the San Bernadino Association of the UCC; the UCC Southern California/Southern Nevada Conference Womens Fellowship (where she was one of the original 12 members of the Womens Task Force and also helped to form the Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual/Transexual Task Force); the Orange Association and Conference levels of the United Church of Christ and the West Orange County Ecumenical Community; the Southern California Religious Coalition for Abortion Rights; COMMIT (Center of Metropolitan Mission In-Service Training); and the Long Beach Area Council of Churches (South Coast Ecumenical CouncilSCEC). While at SCEC, Rev. Moore was part of the coalition that started the Long Beach Family Shelter; she helped to organize the Downtown and North Long Beach Farmers Markets as well as the Mid-Cities Help Center; and she was active in helping resettle refugee and homeless families. Rev. Moore organized WOW (Women Organizing Women) and was active with WATER (Womens Alliance for Theology, Ethics and Ritual). Rev. Moore was president of the International Association of Women Ministers (IAWM) for three terms. And she was active with FEAS2T (Feminist, Education, Action, Support, Spirituality and Theology). Ordained before the time when it was common for women to attend seminary, Rev. Moore served as a foremother for clergywomen to follow in her footsteps. She founded and facilitated (for 20 years) the Long Beach Women-Church. She helped teach a class at the Claremont School of Theology for women planning to be ordained. She often preached and lectured on the concerns and issues of women. Rev. Moore was a zealous proponent for the use of inclusive language and was known as the expert on this topic.
OBITUARIES
She wrote an inclusive Doxology and Gloria Patri. She re-wrote the entire Pilgrim Hymnal, authored inclusive language liturgy and helped to revise UCC Church School materials. Rev. Moore authored The Advent of Women (25 meditations for women), the Shalom Hymnal and All May Be One (guidelines for inclusive language). Besides her beloved husband of 62 years, the Reverend Richard Moore, Rev.

Susan Stephens Collins (Reeder)

Beloved wife, escrow agent, lover of adventure
Susie Collins died peacefully in Palm Springs on Thursday, September 26 with her husband Bob by her side. She was 72. Mrs. Collins was born in Pomona on March 20, 1941, the first of four children, to a news reporter/guitarist Harrison Stephens and a female pilot/singer Doris Landrum. The couple met while Mr. Stephens was on a story assignment about Ms. Landrum. After high school, Mrs. Collins attended UCLA and Cal Poly Pomona, married Steven Reeder of Redlands and raised two sons in Banning, where she taught school for a few years. After the marriage ended, Mrs. Collins became an escrow officer for nearly the rest of her life, moving to the desert and working all over southern California. In 1984, she met Bob Collins, who became the love of her life, and they celebrated their 26th wedding anniversary this year. Mr. and Mrs. Collins made many friends together, teaching Western dancing in the desert where she was active in the community and serving with the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians on the Tribal Planning Commission. Eventually, they moved to the Big Bear Lake area, where Mrs. Collins was very active in the community through many organizations, including poetry and music groups, the Wyatt Posse, The Bear Valley Center For Spiritual Enrichment and various fundraising committees. She took a break from the office world for a few years and, with Mr. Collins, enjoyed an adventurous stint driving big rigs all over the United States before returning to the escrow and title business, which kept her very busy until her retirement just a few months ago.

Claremont continues to add key services for seniors
ince 2008, funding from the Older Americans Act has declined, despite the spike in the nations senior population. The result has left cities across the country with no choice but to make cuts to senior programming.
Claremont, however, has taken a reverse approach. While many cities downsize, one way Claremont has added to its senior services is with the addition of Ashley Nielsen, the citys case manager for older adults whose sole job is to provide free services and case management to Claremonts senior population. Claremont is one of few cities in the region that still offer such a resource. Hired by the city in 2012 through a local nonprofit, Community Senior Services, the social worker spends much of her 35 hours a week at her Joslyn Center office, where locals are welcome to drop in or make an appointment for advice on anything from termite control to medical guidance. When she isnt in the office, Ms. Nielsen makes visits to seniors at their homes. Case management is only one aspect of the multi-layered work Ms. Nielsen performs as the citys social worker. When not counseling senior citizens, she is working as the director of the citys Family Caregiver Support Program and overseeing six local support groups, which range from providing aid to caregivers of loved ones suffering from dementia to those taking care of a child with a disability. As if she doesnt wear enough hats already, she helps coordinate the Senior Companion program matching seniors to other older adults for a cup of coffee or an afternoon chat, as well as the stroke support group and senior discussion group, which also encourage social interaction. Ms. Nielsen is a one-stop shop for the aging, a task that can be overwhelming, but part of that goes along with
COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff Ashley Nielsen talks with Don Berry during a visit to the Serenity Villas last week. Ms. Nielsen is the citys case manager for older adults and helps people like Mr. Berry find the services they need. Listening in is USC intern Erica Castro.
being a social worker, she admits. The amount of work I see could be for two to three people, she said. I do 80 hours in a 30-hour time frame and am constantly go go go. Today for example, I forgot to eat lunch. Needless to say, social work is a career for the passionate and Ms. Nielsen remains steadfast in what she does regardless of what it may entail. I forgot to eat lunch, she laughed. But helping people, especially those who feel so vulnerable, can be so rewarding. Every day brings something new. After receiving her masters in social work from the University of Nebraska at Omaha, Ms. Nielsen began working with victims of domestic violence and assault, as well as with offenders. Previous to her post in Claremont, she was providing in-patient sex offender therapy within the prison system in Nebraska. She was thrust into a new role upon returning home to California, where her mother was providing end-of-life
care to her ailing grandfather. Watching her mothers triumphs and struggles inspired her to take social work into a new direction, that of giving back to her community. Ms. Nielsen felt a call to help both caregivers and seniors find the resources they need. With a background in social services, Ms. Nielsen was uniquely qualified to give back, but she admits it was an adjustment. I have worked with youth and worked with adults, but havent worked for older adults so its been a huge learning curve for me, she said. Now a year into her post serving the people of Claremont, she has found her niche in helping seniors and caregivers navigate the opportunities their community has to offer, particularly in a city where, despite cuts to funding, senior services remain prevalent. A lot of individuals dont know how great a resource their senior centers are, Ms. Nielsen said. Whether its housing, medical, insurance or social needs, there are so many things a person needs to maintain or improve their quality of life. In a recent visit, Ms. Nielsen helped Pomona resident Don Berry find relief for his back pain and solutions for his current living situation. Ms. Nielsen has been a great resource and support system, according to Mr. Berry. She helps to give you some hope, Mr. Berry said. Funds may be growing scarce as the senior population increases, but Ms. Nielsen hopes to help fill the gap wherever she can, even if it means a busy schedule. My services are open to anybody, locals and those out of state with parents in Claremont with no clue how to get help, she said. I want them to know Im available. Education leads to awareness, and awareness leads to action. Ms. Nielsen can be reached at Community Senior Services at 621-9900, ext. 233, at the Joslyn Center at 399-5488, ext. 107, or by email at anielsen@communityseniorservices.org. Locals may drop by her Joslyn Center office Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Girls tennis has promising start in non-conference play
he Wolfpack are coming off of a 17-1 beatdown of Charter Oak following Tuesdays non-conference action. Claremont won all of its single sets, with its lone loss coming during a doubles set.
I believe our one loss was attributed to unforced errors on our part, Head Coach Lilibeth Katigbak said. One of our goals is to maintain consistency throughout our matches in everything from serves to volleys to groundstrokes. Aside from its self-inflicted damage in doubles, Claremont was near flawless. Juniors Megan Huang and Hailey Kayatta spearheaded the Wolfpacks singles efforts, attributing mightily to their undefeated day on the court. Sophomores Katie Chen and Dorothy Kang continue to lead the teams doubles attack while freshmen Evelyn and Lelia Kennedy make up Claremonts second doubles team. Based on what she has seen after two matches this season, Coach Katigbak said she is happy with the work her team is putting in and how they are applying what they learn in practice to the games. We are still looking for improvement in our doubles play, and that is expected since we are a fairly young varsity team, with only three varsity returning players who are all playing singles, Coach Katigbak said. We are definitely going to work on building our spirit and morale and overall play as we grow as a team. After an undefeated season last year, standout player Drew Spinosa has opted not to play tennis this season. Results from yesterdays matchup against Ayala will
jumped from No. 506 to No. 440 in the state rankings this week, the largest improvement of any team in the Sierra League. The Wolfpack saw the return of their promising senior quarterback Craig Myers, who was sidelined for the past two weeks after suffering an injury in the season opener against Glendora. Myers completed 7 of 11 passes for 144 yards and two touchdowns to help lead Claremont to its first victory of the season. Senior running back Cecil Fleming continued to be a force on the ground, as he racked up 143 yards and one touchdown. Fleming now has 561 yards and 7 touchdowns through four games. The Wolfpack defense was stingy all night and did a solid job of shutting down Northwoods offense, forcing four interceptions and holding all rushers and receivers to under 100 yards. Claremont will host El Toro tonight at 7 p.m. in the teams final non-conference game of the season. WATER POLO The Claremont boys water polo team is off to a blistering start in 2013, leaving little doubt that the team can compete with the reigning 10-time defending Sierra League champions, Damien. The Wolfpack are 7-1 thus far in preseason action, with their lone loss coming to CIF No. 4-ranked Laguna Beach. Up to this point in the season, Claremont has outscored its opponents 114-53. Junior 2-meter and co-captain Adam Ward has accounted for 33 of those goals, while senior Brian Fox and sophomore Jonathan Wong have contributed their fair share of goals to aid Claremonts hot start. The No. 10-ranked Wolfpack won the Los Altos Conqueror Classic tournament title two weeks ago and remain in top shape as they prepare to compete in their final pre-league match at the Villa Park Classic tournament this weekend. Prior to Claremont opening league play on October 8, the CHS Water Polo Boosters will be host a fundraising dinner at Taylor Hall on Sunday, October 6. For information, visit www.CHSaquatics.org. CROSS COUNTRY The CHS cross country team won all five of its divisions Tuesday in its first Sierra League match of the season. On the womens side, freshman Annie Boos won the varsity race while senior Merin Arft finished just behind her to claim second. The Wolfpack had four other girls finish inside the top 10, including sophomore Kiana Cavanaugh, who finished fourth. Head coach Rob Lander is proud of the way his team has been running together and noted how comfortable his runners are becoming as the season goes on.

CHSSPORTS continued from the previous page
We definitely are racing more as a team, Coach Lander said. We put a huge emphasis in pack racing, and our athletes are buying into this philosophy. The men tried to echo the efforts of Claremonts women runners by placing four runners inside the top 10. Junior Jonah Ross and senior Anthony Ceccarelli finished second and fourth, respectively, in the varsity race to earn spots inside the top 5. Junior Mike Lowrie finished seventh and senior Bryce Kasamoto finished ninth. Claremont will compete this Saturday in a non-conference matchup. VOLLEYBALL Prior to its first Sierra League game against Ayala yesterday, Claremont High School volleyball sat at 4-3 on the season. Its victories have come against nonconference opponents Hesperia, Upland, San Dimas and Serrano. They have fallen short to ML King, Bonita and Glendora. The Wolfpack have three sen-
ior captains leading the way for them this season: Middle blocker Janie Feldsher, setter Annalyese Fausel and libero Gina Valvo. Head coach Allan Comerford likes what he is seeing from his team on both ends of the court, but as always, there is room for improvement. After five games, Ive seen them improve dramatically with the offense and running combinations, Coach Comerford said. We need to work on staying strong in talking and having fun on the court. Results from yesterdays conference matchup against Ayala will be posted in next weeks issue. Claremont will take on South Hills and St. Lucys next week. GOLF The Wolfpack (2-2) defeated Ayala 262-230 in league play on Tuesday and currently sit at third place in the Sierra League. Captain Kennedy Bingham is playing the best golf of her high school career, according to head coach Octavio Hernandez. She is averaging five over par and has been the medalist in two of Claremonts first four events this season.
Freshmen Nicole Curti and Vanessa Lopez have proven they are going to be key contributors all season long, as they have impacted every match thus far. Coach Hernandez was impressed with his teams performance given their unfamiliarity with the playing course. I am proud of their teamwork, Coach Hernandez said. They helped each other greatly on a very difficult course.It was the first time that four of the six girls played the course. Coach Lander said the team is developing extremely well and is performing well under pressure, despite having a young group. Results from yesterdays matchup against Charter Oak will be posted in next weeks issue. Claremont will face-off against St. Lucys and Chino Hills next week.

Annual home tour features Claraboya neighborhood

by John Neiuber
he 2013 Claremont Heritage Home Tour on Sunday, October 13, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., will feature six outstanding, custom-built view homes in the Claraboya neighborhood.
Claraboya is a Spanish word meaning skylight or window to the sky, and is a fitting word to describe this neighborhood of panoramic views of the valley, mountains and horizon. On any given day, from certain vantage points in Claraboya, one can see as far south as Corona and the Santa Ana Mountains, as far east as San Jacinto and, to the west, the skyline of downtown Los Angeles. On a clear day, Santa Catalina Island is visible. Cassius C. Johnson, a Claremont citrus grower, acquired the Claraboya area, plus the area to the north of Claraboya, in the 1890s. On the northern area, known as Johnsons Pasture, he and his son planted Eucalyptus and other trees, dug a well and built a small reservoir. Cattle and sheep were pastured there. Although the family wanted to build a home in the pasture, they never did. The Johnsons lived on Base Line Road in a large rock house that still remains between Indian Hill Boulevard and Towne Avenue. Mr. Johnson died in 1906 and the pasture continued to be operated by his son, James D. Johnson, who lived in Claremont. The total acreage was sold in the 1940s for $75,000 to P.L. McNutt. McNutt sold the property to the developers of Claraboya, Gail Frampton and Robert Musgrove, for just over a million dollars. Johnsons Pasture, now part of the Claremont Wilderness Park, was part of the original master plan for Claraboya, but was never developed. Frampton and Musgrove, only 35 and 33 years old at the time, created the Claraboya Development Company to develop the 640-acre site in 1962. Although some of the early homes were developed by the company, their main business was to master plan the development that would include Johnson's Pasture and Sycamore Canyon and sell 1,120 view home sites. The original master plan called for an 18-hole golf course, country club, park and school, commercial center, heliport, clustered homes on the upper pasture and there was even discussion of a hotel. Streets, underground utilities, including coaxial cable for television, and master landscaping were all part of the ambitious

plan, along with the rearranging of 10 million cubic yards of earth. Instead of planting seedlings, large trees were brought in by helicopter. The architects for the master planning and for a number of the original homes were Fred W. McDowell and Theodore Criley Jr., of Criley & McDowell, AIA, Claremont. It was a shared vision of the developers and the architects that, in spite of the luxury, tempo and convenience of modern living, people need to identify with the earth around them to be happy. McDowell, the lead architect on the project, said that placing livable boxeson raw land was not enough. Total environment occurs when earth and dwelling merge into a recognizable whole, McDowell noted, where terrain, floor plan, exterior design, building materials and landscaping work consciously together. McDowell believed that overhead poles and wires were a breach of faith between man and nature. For this reason, all utility lines will be buried at Claraboya. Even rooftop television antennae will be eliminated through the installation of a master antenna connected by coaxial cable to each individual home site." The home sites were planned to take advantage of not only the views, but for solar and wind orientation to provide sheltered outdoor areas and to take advantage of the ocean breezes. In order for homes to be built in Claraboya, guidelines were established

that had to be met by the architect, builder and homeowner. The guidelines included not only the solar and wind orientation, but also clean architectural lines, continuous use of glass to permit living areas to share the views from the terraced lots, well-defined front entrances with personality and large open living areas. The guidelines, by design, steered architects and homeowners toward the construction of a large number of modern homes. McDowell went on to design some of the first and finest examples of modern homes in the development, most notably the award-winning Concrete House, which is on the tour. The Concrete House was built in 1964, as a project of the nationwide Concrete Industries Horizon Homes program. The house was selected as the outstanding Horizon Home in the West for the area of California, Oregon, Washington, Utah, Arizona and Nevada. Precast tee-beams served as both a structural and design feature of the home. The beams were used to cantilever the entire side of the 2,322-squarefoot house over a narrow shelf lot, providing a panoramic view of the valley. Cast-inplace concrete columns provided support for the tee-beams and gave the structure a graceful, classic look to a decidedly modern home. The exterior walls were of concrete masonry and glass. The living room, dining room and kitchen opened to a spacious concrete deck with imported Del Piso onyx and marble tiled floors, which extended outdoors. Sleeping areas of the house were situated to take advantage of the view, with the master bedroom opening to a secluded patio and swimming pool. Skylights were used in the bathrooms to bring in natural light. The master bath featured mosaic tile. There was a built-in vacuum system, along with built-in trash dispensers, as well as an intercom and hi-fi system. The roof was of pre-cast concrete and the home included a concrete driveway and textured walks and steps. It was also an all-electric Medallion Home. The Claraboya project was developed over a 35-year period, with the most of the homes built during the first 15 years. The development ended up with just 247 homes of the planned 1,120. By the mid1970s, investment funds for the development had dried up, and Frampton and Musgrave moved on to work on the plan-
ning of Westlake Village. Claraboya was the first hillside development in Claremont. Padua Hills, situated on a lower ridge to the east, was developed earlier; however, it is located on county land. The only other hillside development in the city is the Stone Canyon Estates, east of Padua Hills. Claraboya, being located in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, is part of a native chaparral habitat. Chaparral lands are subject to the disruptive force of fire, and although much of the chaparral plant life has adapted to recover after fire, historically fire visited the ecosystem on the order of every 30 to 150 years. Claraboya, and the surrounding environment, experiences wildfires about every 10 years, which is the average since humans arrived on the scene. Many have come close, but in October 2003, the merging of the Old, Grand Prix and Padua fires brought destruction to the neighborhood. Fourteen houses were destroyed and 18 were damaged, along with numerous lots that experienced burned landscape. Thirteen of the 14 houses destroyed were rebuilt and only one lot still remains vacant. Claraboya was an ambitious undertaking and was far ahead of its time in terms of planning and amenities. Many of the homes, with the Concrete House leading the way, were also experiments in the use of new materials and design ideas. Today, Claraboya remains a desired neighborhood in which to live, with its sweeping views and architect-designed modern homes. Claremont Heritage has planned four days of events to highlight this years home tour. The weekend will be kickedoff on Thursday, October 10, with the Modern Film Series at 7 p.m. at the Mudd Theater at the Claremont School of Theology, with the film, New Housing Then. On Friday, October 11, the home tour exhibition, Sixteen Architects, will open at 7 p.m. in the Ginger Elliott Center at the Garner House. On Saturday, October 12 from 2 to 4 p.m. a guided walking tour of mid-century architecture will be offered, followed by a catered sunset cocktail reception from 6 to 9 p.m. at a custom view home in Claraboya. The evening reception will feature author and architect Alan Hess. Tickets are available at the Garner House, Barbara Cheatleys, Claremont Heights Postal Center, Heirloom, Sonja Stump Photography, Wheeler Steffen Sothebys Realty or on the Heritage website at www.claremontheritage.org.

Claremont High, El Roble bands preview fall season

The evening show featured performances by the marching bands and orchestras from El Roble and the high school, culminating with a presentation of the three-part field show the CHS Marching Band will be showcasing in upcoming marching band competitions. The music began at sunset, with the days final rays lighting up CHSs athletic field, featuring turf installed just last year, to good effect. The high schools drum line let the crowd of 200 know they were in for a lively evening with the spirited Zero Cadence, followed by the infectious Land of a Thousand Dances. The Claremont High School color guard provided visual interest, twirling metallic, rose-colored flags to the bands rendition of the 1960s pop song. Next came the El Roble Orchestra performing composer Soon Hee Newbolds ethereal Mythos and Donald Brubakers El Toro, which evoked the drama
of a Spanish bullfight. Band instructor Melanie Gonzalezwho serves as conductor for each of the 4 ensembles highlighted at the Take Note! showemphasized her pride at how well the middle-school students pulled off these compositions. There are a lot of 7th graders in the orchestra, and the last piece has flats, she said. As you know, orchestra instruments dont like flats. Its only September, so to play something like this that early in the year is amazing. This is Ms. Gonzalez first year at the helm of the marching band and orchestra at El Roble. She stepped into the post when the previous music teacher Brandon Johnson, who won the Claremont Unified School Dis-
tricts Spotlight on Excellence Award in 2011, was asked to go back into the Army. The kids in the marching band begged her for a new fight song, Ms. Gonzalez said. She agreed by introducing the fight song of Michigan State, which has been ranked by ESPN as one of the best fight songs of all time. The El Roble band showed their own fighting spirit in performing a rousing version of the Spartans legendary call-to-action. At the Saturday show, the El Roble Marching Band was fresh off having performed two days before during Claremont Day at the LA County Fair. Ms. Gonzalez took a moment to share a compliment she overheard as the group marched by. Is that the middle school

band? Theyre fantastic, a bystander was heard to exclaim. There was much more music to come, but the event wasnt just about tunes. There were also numerous opportunities to support the music programs. Band boosters sold hot dogs, chips, soda and snacks as well as fan swag like Claremont Wolfpack windbreakers. People in the crowd had a chance to purchase a $2 shout-out to band and orchestra members, words of support that were announced over the PA system by emcee and CHS band booster Marcus Dowd. The crowd was also encouraged to participate in a few opportunity drawings. These included the Claremont Educational Foundations annual Prius raffle, with some of the proceeds going to the CHS booster board, and the Take Note! campaign, through which a 48-
inch TV will be given away in December. The weather, which was still warm enough for short sleeves but significantly cooler than in weeks past, let the audience know that fall is here. When selecting musical pieces for autumn, Ms. Gonzalez told the audience, she tends to lean toward fast-paced, lyrical pieces. For the CHS Orchestra, these included composer Kurt Mosiers Ichabods Walk: Two Scenes from the Hollow, an eerie nod to Washington Irvings Legend of Sleepy Hollow, and two particularly epic compositions: Icantations by Richard Moore and Mystical Towers by Jeremy Woolstenhulme. Other highlights of the evening included the CHS Marching Bands neat execution of Black Sabbaths Iron Man and the El Roble Intermediate School Orchestras patriotic medley, American Pride.
While the CHS Marching Band assembled for its field show, members of the other ensembles left the field and filed onto the bleachers. These included Ryan Vuong, a 7th grader who plays flute in the El Roble Orchestra. Ryan has had a great time in the band so far. Mrs. G. is really fun and encouraging, he said. The grand finale was the CHS Marching Bands field show, marked by uptempo music and the graceful
maneuvering of the burgundy-clad band across the field. The color guard and majorettes were ready to add kinetic appeal, twirling rifles, batons and glimmering banners. At the close of the evening, Mr. Dowd thanked attendees for contributing to a successful first-time event, saying, I hope this becomes a tradition.

Through December 6: Emerging Artist Series #8: Danielle AdairOn the Rocks, in the Land. This documentary-performance-video installation analyzes the role of tourist-observer, within contemporary conflict zones, and questions how a tourist perceives and experiences sites of historic and contemporary political significance. The project incorporates experiences of and around the peace lines of Belfast, the Berlin Wall, the Stone Walls of New England, the United States-Mexican border in Ciudad Jurez and the Occupy Wall Street Movement. By highlighting these sites, the exhibition explores the notion of play as a persistent and ethical form of resistance in relation to the physicality of a wall as defined by these specific locations. Although exploring the intersection of place, politics and play in these sites, the project resists the urge to enforce a dominant narrative, seeking instead to excavate unfamiliar forms of resistance
and protest. Lecture: The War-related Murals of Northern Ireland 19792010. Thursday, October 3 from 2:45 to 4 p.m. in West Hall Q120.

Through December 5: Glyphs: Acts of Inscription builds on the premise that identities are constituted through acts of inscriptionreal or imaginedinto the visual archives that constitute history, popular iconographies and artistic canons. The exhibition explores the consequences of such acts on the poetic and political dimensions of representation, difference and visibility. Working in photography, moving image and mixed media, the artists cannibalize and query such archives to create new image repertoires that point to the lacunaethe silences, absences and erasurescontained within prevalent visual-historical renderings. These critical interventions challenge existing discourses, destabilizing the deeply ambiguous and often surreal taxonomies of raced, sexed and gendered representation. Marking the 50th anniversary of the death of W.E.B. Du Bois, Glyphs presents a slideshow projection of The Paris Albums 1900, a series of portraits originally commissioned by the renowned African American sociologist, activist and scholars groundbreaking American Negro Exhibit for the 1900 Paris World Exposition.

Mr. Dike contributed greatly to the California art scene of the 1930s and 1940s through his work in what

As the 1920s drew to a close and throughout the 1930s, Mr. Dike began to master the art of translating the effects of light and color into watercolor.

With more than 50 paintings, the exhibition tells the story of these years in detail. Visitors will view his impressions of life in New York in the late 1920s and his studies at the Arts Students League; his work in Europe, including his time at the American Academy of Art at Fontainebleau; and his travels afterwards. Paintings created after his return from his travels overseas will also be on display, as he continued his exploration of light and color by recording street scenes, architecture and landscapes in southern California and the southwest.

Claremont schools to compete in trash-free lunch challenge
Cahuilla Park playground upgrade complete

Stop by Claremonts Cahuilla Park with the kids to check out the recreation areas new jungle gym. The local playground reopened last week after a monthlong closure, during which an estimated $65,000 in playground equipment was installed. The new setup was deemed necessary in order to address safety concerns with the old equipment and to bring the community facility up to date with the standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), according to city officials. The last time Cahuilla Park received a new jungle gym was in 1997, more than 15 years ago. Since that time, a large portion of the playground geared for the 2- to 5-yea-rolds has been removed due to safety concerns. The portion that remained, that for the 2- to 5year -olds as well as the 5- to 12-year-olds, is not accessible to wheelchair-bound children or those with disabilities. The new setup for the 5- to 12-year-olds includes two slides, several ladders, a rock climber and a track ride or zip line, the first to appear at any Claremont park. The jungle gym for the younger children includes two slides and a rock climber with the addition of an arched bridge as well as two steering wheels

Found friend: Rusty returns to happy owner after long vigil

David Hunter must have a guardian angel watching over him, because his beloved dog Rusty is back at his home in Claremont. Mr. Hunter had been on a pilgrimage to find the dog since she disappeared last month, sitting for hours in his Jeep parked in front of Claremonts Stater Bros. market. Friday morning his vigilance paid off when he received a phone call from a woman in Ontario who said she thought she might have Rusty. She described [the dog] and I confirmed that it sounded like Rusty, he said. I asked if I could come over right away but she asked that we meet that afternoon so her daughter could say goodbye. Apparently, when the anonymous Ontario woman took Rusty to a veterinarian for shots, the doctor cautioned her that the dog was most likely someones
pet. She was then able to find the missing dog ad on Craigslist. The woman arranged to meet Mr. Hunter at 3 p.m. on Friday afternoon at Towne Avenue and Foothill Boulevard in Pomona. As Mr. Hunter drove up, he saw the family and Rusty standing on the sidewalk in front of CVS. She [Rusty] went completely nuts when she saw us and the girl was having a hard time holding her, he said. After witnessing the reunion the woman said, Now I am quite sure this is your dog, according to Mr. Hunter. I feel really badly that your daughter is going to miss this dog, he told her, to which the woman replied that they would use the reward money to adopt a dog from the Humane Society. Mr. Hunter said Rusty would get a GPS microchip and he would make sure that from now on she always wears a collar and license.

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDINGS AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. On October 29, 2013 at 09:00 AM, Behind the fountain located in Civic Center Plaza, 400 Civic Center Plaza, Pomona CA 91766, MTC FINANCIAL INC. dba TRUSTEE CORPS, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust Recorded on June 20, 2005 as Instrument No. 05 1434604 of official records in the Office of the Recorder of Los Angeles County, California, executed by BRIAN F SWIENTON AND CATHERINE A SWIENTON HUSBAND AND WIFE AS COMMUNITY PROPERTY WITH RIGHT OF SURVIVORSHIP, as Trustor(s), in favor of SUNTRUST MORTGAGE, INC. as Lender and MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC. as nominee for Lender, its successors and/or assigns, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold "as is". The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 1518 BENEDICT AVE, CLAREMONT, CA 91711 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee`s Sale is estimated to be $404,868.17 (Estimated), provided, however, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary`s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier`s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee`s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder`s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call Priority Posting and Publishing at 714-573-1965 for information regarding the Trustee's Sale or visit the Internet Web site address on the previous page for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08000683-13-1. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorders office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

Tel. 310-745-8644. Date: (Fecha) September 6, 2013, Clerk, by (Secretario, por) N. Valles, Deputy(Asistente). NOTICE TO PERSON SERVED: You are served as an individual. (AVISO A LA PERSONA QUE RECIBIO LA ENTREGA: Esta entrego se realiza a usted como individuo). WARNINGIMPORTANT INFORMATION WARNING: California law provides that, for purposes of division of property upon dissolution of a marriage or domestic partnership or upon legal separation, property acquired by the parties during marriage or domestic partnership in joint form is presumed to be community property. If either party to this action should die before the jointly held community property is divided, the language in the deed that characterizes how title is held (i.e., joint tenancy, tenants in common, or community property) will be controlling, and not the community property presumption. You should consult your attorney if you want the community property presumption to be written into the recorded title to the property. STANDARD FAMILY LAW RESTRAINING ORDERS Starting immediately, you and your spouse or domestic partner are restrained from: 1. Removing the minor child or children of the parties, if any, from the state without the prior written consent of the other party or an order of the court; 2. Cashing, borrowing against, canceling, transferring, disposing of, or changing the beneficiaries of any insurance or other coverage, including life, health, automobile, and disability, held for the benefit of the parties and their minor child or children; 3. Transferring, encumbering, hypothecating, concealing, or in any way disposing of any property, real or personal, whether community, quasi-community, or separate, without the written consent of the other party or an order of the court, except in the usual course of business or for the necessities of life; and 4. Creating a nonprobate transfer or modifying a nonprobate transfer in a manner that affects the disposition of property subject to the transfer, without the written consent of the other party or an order of the court. Before revocation of a nonprobate transfer can take effect or a right of survivorship to property can be eliminated, notice of the change must be filed and served on the other party. You must notify each other of any proposed extraordinary expenditures at least five business days prior to incurring these extraordinary expenditures and account to the court for all extraordinary expenditures made after these restraining orders are effective. However, you may use community property, quasi-community property, or your own separate property to pay an attorney to help you or to pay court costs. ADVERTENCIA INFORMACIN IMPORTANTE ADVERTENCIA: De acuerdo a la ley de California, las propiedades adquiridas por las partes durante su matrimonio o pareja de hecho en forma conjunta se consideran propiedad comunitaria para los fines de la divisin de bienes que ocurre cuando se produce una disolucin o separacin legal del matrimonio o pareja de hecho. Si cualquiera de las partes de este caso llega a fallecer antes de que se divida la propiedad comunitaria de tenencia conjunta, el destino de la misma quedar determinado por las clusulas de la escritura correspondiente que describen su tenencia (por ej., tenencia conjunta, tenencia en comn o propiedad comunitaria) y no por la presuncin de propiedad comunitaria. Si quiere que la presuncin comunitaria quede registrada en la escritura de la propiedad, debera consultar con un abogado. RDENES DE RESTRICCIN NORMALES DE DERECHO FAMILIAR En forma inmediata, usted y su cnyuge o pareja de hecho tienen prohibido: 1.

(This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.)

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a CONTINGENT CREDITOR OF THE DECEDENT, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58 (b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE THE FILE KEPT BY THE COURT. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.
