Over out AND Longtime Claremont police captain says goodbye PAGE 3 A competitive water market in Claremont? Dear Editor: Robert Traers letter in the September 5 edition of the COURIER got me think- ing. Rather than purchasing the existing water system via eminent domain from Golden State Water, would it be possible to instead create a competitor to Golden State Water in the city of Claremont? As a significant percentage of water consumed in this city (or any city, for that matter) is used for irrigation pur- poses, building a reclaimed water system to meet Claremonts irrigation needs would go a long way towards controlling our own destiny in terms of the future cost and supply of water. Aside from the environmental benefits of using our water resources more wisely, pursuing the installation and op- eration of a city-owned reclaimed water system would significantly reduce Golden States business in the city of Claremont over the longterm. As the company would be left to provide just the potable water needs of the citys resi- dents, the value of Golden States water system in Claremont would fall dramati- cally, and make it a less attractive asset for the company to continue operating. It might even motivate the company to want to sell the system voluntarily at some point. I have no idea if this is even remotely possible given existing regulatory and/or contractual constraints, or what such an endeavor would cost, but it would be in- teresting to know if this is a potential al- ternative to an acquisition of the water system via eminent domain before the citizens of Claremont vote on the up- coming water bond measure. Marc Selznick Claremont Vote yes on Measure W Dear Editor: For the last 75 years, Claremont has had several opportunities to purchase the water system from Golden State Water Company. This has not happened. The time is now! We cannot afford to wait any longer. Claremonts water rates are considerably higher than that of surrounding cities, approximately $50 per month more than it would be under La Verne rates. Little, if any, improvements have been made to the water infrastructure. Water rates have continued to rise on a regular basis with little or no benefit to us. However, salaries of Golden State executives have escalated. Citizens of Claremont believe that the water district exists for the people, not for profit to the water company execu- tives and stockholders. This time is over- due for Claremont to purchase the water company. Please join us and vote yes on the Claremont water bond issue on the November ballot.

Hired by the Claremont PD in 1985, Jon was promoted to Agent (now Corporal rank) in 1989, followed by Ser- geant in 2001and Lieutenant in 2003. In 2011, he was pro- moted to Captain, a rank he held until his retirement. Over the years, Captain Traber has been well-regarded in the Claremont community, both for his service to the city and for the guidance hes given to members of the force. Jon is one of those employees you wish you could clone and have a dozen of, says Chief Paul Cooper.He doesnt bring a lot of attention to himself when hes work- ing. In fact hes not one of those guys that seeks the at- tention.He just sets out to do the best possible job, always respecting the authority given to him by the people. With lights and sirens blaring, the entire Claremont Po- lice Department escorted Captain Traber to the Claremont city limits on August 28 where he was warmly greeted by his wife Kris as well as friends and colleagues before giv- ing a 10-7 over the police radio, announcing hes out of service and signing off for the last time. Looking dapper in a suit and tie, Captain Traber re- turned to Claremont on September 4 for a reception in his honor hosted by the city. City council and staff, and police commissioners, as well former staff and council mem- bers, gathered at the Hughes Center to show their appre- ciation for a man who gave so much to the city he served. With his wife, daughter, two sons, father and in-laws in attendance, the retired captain remained humble as City Manager Tony Ramos spoke about his commitment to the city before presenting him with a plaque in recognition of his service. Chief Cooper also spoke, giving an overview of Cap- tain Trabers career, and presented his colleague and long- time friend with a Claremont street sign with his name, a retirement tradition. He also received a plaque with his badges from the Claremont Police Officers Association. One of the most touching moments came when Captain Traber read a letter from his dad reflecting on his career. Jons father was a police officer and he grew up with his influence. In the end, the captain spoke about his time at the city and thanked all the many people hes worked with over the years. Hes been my friend since we started together 29 years ago, Chief Cooper said. And we will continue to be friends. But I will miss working with him every day. As of now, Captain Traber said he has no formal plans for retirement other than a trip to the river, work around his house and fixing up his Jeeps.

With lights blazing and sirens blaring, the entire police force escorted Cap- tain Traber to the city limits where he announced on the police radio that he was 10-7, or out of service. Chief Paul Cooper presents an honorary Claremont street sign to Captain Traber during his retirement party. City in hot water over bond meas- ure mailer W hat was intended as an infor- mational mailer on Measure W may have put the city of Clare- mont in hot water after attracting the at- tention of a Claremont homeowners political action committee sponsored by Golden State Water. Stop the Water TaxNo on W, previously re- ferred to as Stop the $135 Million Takeover, has is- sued a cease and desist demand against the city, claiming that a mailer sent to Claremont voters earlier this month is advocacy-oriented and violates the laws against using public funds for campaign materials. Attorney Thomas Hiltachk, treasurer of the com- mittee and senior partner at Bell, McAndrews and Hiltachk LLPthe same law firm that filed suit over the city councils ballot argumentalleges that City Manager Tony Ramos authorized, and illegally ex- pended, taxpayer dollars to send a campaign mailer on Measure W to residents. Coupled with the threat of a personal lawsuit againstMr. Ramos and other city staff responsible for the mailer, the letter demands that the city shall not engage in and expend any additional taxpayer funds campaigning for Measure W and that Mr. Ramos personally reimburse the city for the cost of the ille- gal mailing as required by law. The letter also claims Mr. Ramos and the city failed to comply with campaign reporting law by not reporting the illegal expenditure, stating that the expense should MEASURE W/continues on page 18 Captain Traber gets a hug from his father Arthur Tra- ber following his retirement party at the Hughes Com- munity Center. Wednesday, September 3 A resident at Claremont Place called police, alleging caretakers at the facility are committing petty theft. The woman moved into the senior living center six months ago and during that period of time, many of her items have gone missing including a purse, money, jacket, toiletries and two magnifying glasses. The victim lives alone and states that the only people who have ac- cess to her personal property are the caretakers at the facility. The items are valued at $305. Thursday, September 4 A man with a penchant for panini went ballistic when employees tried to take away his sandwich. According to Lieutenant Mike Ciszek, the male sus- pect entered Starbucks located on the 200 block of Yale Street and placed a Panini inside the left inner pocket of his jacket without paying for it. When con- fronted by members of the staff, the man became angry and aggressive, knocking over a display of plastic cups. As the cups flew onto customers inside the coffee house, the suspect fled the scene in a light blue or teal sedan. The sandwich is valued at $5.95 and has not been recovered. The suspect remains at large. * * * * Erratic driving was cause for concern for one Good Samaritan who called po- lice after following a suspected DUI driver on the 210 Freeway. Around 6 p.m., an eyewitness called police and followed Tracey Mayer as she allegedly swerved between lanes and drove onto the shoulder at speeds ranging from 5 to 75 miles per hour. After the 31-year- old suspect exited the interstate at Towne Avenue, she proceeded to sit through three phases of a light cycle at the traffic signal before police arrived to find her asleep behind the wheel. Of- ficers conducted a field sobriety test and determined the Glendora woman was impaired. She was arrested and later released on $5,000 bail. Friday, September 5 A teen with a car full of cannabis gives new meaning to the word dope after claiming to be a marijuana dispen- sary deliveryman and then failing to provide proof of employment. Dillion Rust was spotted in a church parking lot and approached by police around 6 a.m. after smelling the odor of mari- juana coming from his vehicle. The 19- year-old told police he delivered for a marijuana dispensary and a search of his car revealed he was well stocked with 13 plastic bags containing mari- juana, baked goods containing mari- juana, a vaporizer containing a black tar-like liquid concentrated cannabis and $445 in cash. Mr. Rust was unable to provide any documentation that he worked for a dispensary or that he was allowed to possess such a large amount of marijuana. The Inglewood man was arrested and released on $20,000 bail. Saturday, September 6 Saying goodnight was really hard for one man who didnt know when to call it quits and ended his evening in the Claremont jail. Travis Livingston was seen drinking at The Press early in the night and when he refused to leave around 12:30 a.m., Claremont police arrived on scene. The 30-year-old smelled of alcohol, appeared flushed and his eyes were red when officers ran him through the system, revealing an outstanding warrant. The Montclair man was taken to the station for public intoxication and the outstanding war- rant. He was later released on $10,250 bail. Angela Bailey news@claremont-courier.com Claremont COURIER/Friday, September 12, 2014 4 CITY NEWS POLICE BLOTTER T here was much to celebrate at Claremonts city council meeting Tuesday night as a number of the police staff received recognition and pro- motion for their exemplary performance within the department. Claremont Police Chief Paul Cooper stood before city council, residents and police families as he intro- duced each member, providing a brief summary of each person being promoted. Lieutenant Shelly Vander Veen, who has served with the department for nearly 20 years, has been pro- moted to captain following the retirement of Captain Jon Traber earlier this month. Capt. Vander Veen was hired by the Claremont Police Department in 1995, and worked her way up the ranks with promotions to corporal in 2000, sergeant in 2003, and lieutenant in 2005. Capt. Vander Veen selected her mother to do the honors of pinning her bars. Sergeant Lori Davenport has been promoted to lieutenant. With a total of 15 years of service, 12 years with CPD and three years with the Los Angeles County Sheriff, Lt. Lori Davenport was hired by CPD in 2002, promoted to corporal in 2007 and sergeant in 2010. Lt. Davenport chose her husband Paul to do the honors of pinning her with the lieutenant bar, the same bar he wore when he was a lieutenant with the Claremont Police Department. With 20 years of law enforcement behind him, Cor- poral Eric Huizar moves up the ranks to Sergeant. Sgt. Huizar was hired by CPD in 1995 and promoted to corporal in 2001. Chief Cooper did the honors of pinning the Sergeant with his new badge. Officers Chris Casas and Issac Reyes were both promoted to corporal. Claremont PD hired Cpl. Casas in 2007 before his recent promotion. He selected re- tired Captain Jon Traber to pin his badge. Cpl. Reyes was hired by CPD in 2008 and selected his wife to pin his corporal badge. Ben Alba, a jailer assigned to Claremont Police De- partment, was hired on as a Reserve Officer for CPD and was given his officers badge by his mother and father. Officer Alba began his career with Claremont police in 2005 when he was hired as a police aide. In addition, two explorers, Ryan Kim and Victoria Garrison, were also recognized for their high level of performance at the Riverside Sheriff Department Ex- plorer Academy. These two were considered standout explorers and were selected from 120 candidates for recognition. Explorer Ryan Kim was given the Brennan DiMag- gio award, recognized as a top explorer and awarded for having the most discipline, motivation and ex- hibiting outstanding leadership throughout the acad- emy. Mr. Kim has started classes at California State University, Stanislaus and was unable to accept his certificate in person. Explorer Victoria Garrison, for the second year in a row, was awarded Most Outstanding in Physical Fit- ness. She completed the mile and half run in10 min- utes flat - 6 seconds off the academy record cranked out 45 push-ups in one minute and crunched 33 sit- ups in one minute. She received a certificate of recog- nition from the city council, presented to her by Mayor Joe Lyons. Following the tradition of the chief presenting to the council a brief summary of each person being pro- moted, the newly-installed officers took their oaths of allegiance once again to reaffirm their commitment to the department.

A show of force at Tuesdays city council meeting Claremont COURIER/Friday, September 12, 2014 5 EDUCATION Voices of district faculty, staff ring louder at board meetings A small change to school board meetings is mak- ing a big difference in relations between school offi- cials and staff in the Claremont Unified School District. At the August 21 school board meet- ing, a new of order of business made its debut on the agenda: Comments by em- ployee associations in support of district stu- dents, staff and partnerships. Time was allotted for representatives of the teachers union, the California School Employees Association (CSEA) and the Claremont Management Association to take to the podium. Previously, CUSD staffers who wished to address the board on agenda items or other topics of note had to fill out a blue card announcing their intent to speak at the start of the meeting. Their discussion was limited to three minutes, just like any other meeting attendee. In his inaugural presentation, Clare- mont Faculty Association President Dave Chamberlain said he was grateful for the specified time on the agenda, em- phasizing that the addition will foster im- proved communications between the associations and the board. He proceeded to report on various ways teachers were gearing up for the school year, and shared that he had re- cently performed the Ice Bucket Chal- lenge. In most cases, anyone who undertakes the philanthropic darea chilly ritual that began going viral on the Internet at the start of the summerdo- nates $10 or more to the ALS Associa- tion to assist in the fight against Lou Gehrigs disease. Mr. Chamberlain noted that he chose instead to donate to the Leukemia-Lym- phoma Society on behalf of Jasmine Lyn, a second grader at Condit School who is a survivor of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Jasmines moxie has inspired a slew of boosters who have joined the fight against blood cancer under the name Team Jazzy. Rosie Bister, Oakmont office manager and local CSEA president, took a mo- ment to address the board on behalf of the classified staff union. She expressed her eagerness to meet the new classified staff and reported that CSEA will open negotiations on a full contract this year. At the September 4 meeting, board/staff communication was further bolstered when Mr. Chamberlain once again acted as the voice of Claremont faculty. During his allotted time, he shared a concern. According to the union head and Claremont High School speech teacher, CHS is sadly lacking classroom space. He says the problem has been ex- acerbated by the addition of 16 severely orthopedically disabled/medically frag- ile students in the high schools special education program, with more likely to come. The influx is the result of the dis- tricts recent dissociation from Califor- nia Special Education Local Plan Areas, an LA County program that previously undertook the education of a number of special education students from CUSD and surrounding districts. Because rooms are in such demand, teachers have to roam from place to place, Mr. Chamberlain said, in some cases even having to gather up their be- longings and find a spot in the library during their prep time. Its the single biggest morale problem among faculty, he said. Mr. Chamberlain asked the board and the superintendents cabinet to put them- selves in the teachers place. Imagine that, as an administrator, you have toevery time the bell rings gather your stuff and move from your class to another room, he said. Im not sure what the solution is, but I wanted to share the frustration and suggest that, as new monies come into the district, you think about the space issues. The faculty union has been asking for a regular slot on the school board agenda for at least five years, according to Sum- ner Elementary School teacher and past CFA president Joe Tonan. Its a courtesy that has long been afforded to the staff associations in neighboring districts such as Pomona and Bonita. Its a gigantic step in the relationship between the Claremont Faculty Associa- tion and the district, Mr. Tonan said. As seen in the last two weeks, it is really something positive where we can share whats going on with our members and in their classes. Mr. Chamberlain could not be reached for comment, but Mr. Tonan offered his hypothesis as to why the unions finally got traction on their request for a stronger board meeting presence. Chief among these is the receptivity of CUSD Super- intendent Jim Elsasser. I think that Dr. Elsasser saw the value in it. I think that some of the new school- board members have seen the value in it, Mr. Tonan said. And I also think that, over the last three or four years, the relationship between the CFA and the district has improved. Weve seen trust developing. The district is saying, Yeah, I think we can trust the Claremont Fac- ulty Association to use that time in a con- structive way. Board President Steven Llanusa con- firmed that the districts top administra- tor was largely behind in the shift. Dr. Elsasser was instrumental in cre- ating the agreement between the district and the employee association, which was acceptable to everyone involved, he said. Mr. Llanusa noted individual teachers, classified staff members and managers are still welcome to pull a blue card and speak individually on an agenda item or on another topic during public comment periods. The idea is to give [employee associ- ations] a chance to speak, Mr. Elsasser said. Its a chance to increase commu- nication and for them to really share all of the wonderful things going on in the district. Of course, union members may address subjects that are not so wonderful and thats also welcome, the superintendent said. Its something were aware of, he said of the space crunch at the high school. There is no easy fix. But we have a standing meeting between the board president, CFA and myself and thats something that we may follow up on in a future meeting. Sarah Torribio storribio@claremont-courier.com Superintendent, administrators get longer contracts, pay hike A t their Thursday, September 4 gathering, members of the Clare- mont Unified School District Board of Education voted to approve an addendum to the contracts of Superin- tendent Jim Elsasser and four key district staffers. Mr. Elsasser was first hired a little more than two years ago, with his contract extending from June 1, 2012 to June 30, 2016. Thanks to a unanimous vote by the board, the superintendents contract has been extended for an additional year, with his tenure as head of the district going through June 30, 2017. Other administrators also approved to continue their jobs through the summer of 2017 include Assis- tant Superintendent of Business Services Lisa Shoe- maker, Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services Bonnie Bell, Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources Kevin Ward and Assistant Superin- tendent of Student Services Mike Bateman. At their June 5 gathering, the board ratified a 4 per- cent across-the-board salary increase for all district employees. The addendum notes that the 4 percent hike also extends to the superintendents cabinet. With their decision to lenghten the administrators contracts, the board cast a vote for stability, particu- larly when it comes to the man at the helm of CUSD. The district is just beginning to catch its stride after several years marked by remarkable turnover. From 2006 to 2012, CUSD saw three superintendents plus one interim superintendent come and go. Steven Llanusa, who is now in his ninth year representing Claremont schools, was on the board throughout that tumultuous period. There are many advantages to having a long-term superintendent who meshes well with the community, the employees and the school board members, Mr. Llanusa said. The employees dont have to worry about priorities shifting each time there is a new per- son in charge. The school board doesnt have to con- stantly adjust to a different personality. And the com- munity knows what to expect from a longstanding superintendent versus a new superintendent. In his time at CUSD, Mr. Elsasser has proved to be popular with all manner of CUSD stakeholders, Mr. Llanusa among them. Dr. Elsasser cares first and foremost about the stu- dents, which I think is a crucial characteristic of any successful superintendent, he explained. He has tal- ents in other areascommunication, financial mat- ters, goal-settingbut he always uses those talents to make sure we are serving our students. If Mr. Elsasser continues to perform well, it is likely the school board will extend the superinten- dents contract at the end of each successful school year rather than negotiate for a new contract when things get down to the wire. By extending his contract, it gives the district sta- bility and the superintendent predictability, Mr. Llanusa said. Mr. Elsasser was first hired at $218,000 per year. After the 2012-2013 school year, Mr. Elsasserhav- ing passed his mid-year and end-of-year evaluations with flying colorswas given a 3.5 percent salary in- crease as stipulated by his contract. With another successful review under his belt, Mr. Elsassers paycheck has grown by 3.5 percent and the administrative revolving door has stopped spinning, at least for now.

M any remember the days when the Village was deserted at night and the saying roll up the sidewalks was a fitting description of the city after five oclock in the evening. Certainly, that is not the case now. The Village, along with the rest of the city, is enjoying an economic boom. We have had, and currently have, city leadership with enough foresight to capitalize on the uniqueness of the Village and the city overall. And the community has had the good sense to make a commit- ment to preservation to help maintain the historic and small-town atmosphere that appeals to citizens and visi- tors alike. And from its inception, the community has em- braced the concept of city planning. Another group has played a major role in the civic, eco- nomic and social growth of the citythe Claremont Chamber of Commerce. Founded in 1922, the Chamber was created as part of a campaign by the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce to help smaller communities es- tablish their own organizations. Prior to the citys incor- poration, the Town Meeting was the informal government and committees relating to the commercial area were first established. In December 1908, shortly after incorporat- ing, through the Town Meeting process, the city organized the Claremont Board of Trade that acted much in the same manner as a chamber. The Board of Trade was responsi- ble for the first city plan. The initial meeting of the Chamber was held on June 7, 1922, with George Griswold serving as president. The first year was rocky, as the selection of a permanent sec- retary became problematic. Dr. H.E. Robbins agreed to serve until the opening of the college academic year in September. Summerfield McCartney was then hired, but he was only in the office a couple of months when George Cree consented to take the position. Due to illness, Mr. Cree had to resign and W.O. Hollister was retained as per- manent secretary in January 1923. But he occupied the office only until August 1923. Mr. Hollisters tenure was criticized by the merchants, who protested high fees for membership. In addition to the yearly dues of $12, sup- plemental fees were charged. A real estate broker and a garage proprietor paid an additional $120, a lumber yard paid $100, a bank paid $240 and a grocery store paid $80. The extra charges were abandoned when the Chamber re- organized in late 1923, and Leila Ackerman, who served as secretary for many years, was hired. In 1924, the Chamber took over where the Board of Trade left off and established the first planning commis- sion to create a civic improvement plan, specifically a civic center. This action was prompted by the passage of a bond issue for a new fire station, which raised questions about its location and design. A front-page story titled City Planning Commission Aims to Beautify Clare- mont in the Claremont COURIER of October 2, 1924 reported that Finding later that its mission was intimately involved with the functions of the city trustees, that body later adopted the commission and by the passage of an ordinance, perhaps at the trustees meeting tonight, will give it official status. In February of 1925, the board passed an ordinance establishing the Claremont Planning Commission and appointed five official members. Clare- mont, with only 2000 residents, became only the 16th city in California to have a planning commission. As the commission was being developed, meetings were held by architect and city planner David Allison to discuss the possibility of designing compatible civic and residential buildings. The community was responding to the same forces that had created the City Beautiful movement that was prevalent throughout the United States at that time. Rather than through haphazard devel- opment, good city planning was the driving force behind the formation of the planning commission. As the COURIER noted, There are towns that are pleasing. They didnt grow so by chance. Behind it all, there was di- recting and designing intelligence. Other towns are not so pleasing in appearance; some are positively ugly. But in Claremont, we have a natural setting and a fine beginning for a city beautiful. Under Ms. Ackermans leadership, the Chamber of Commerce joined the City Beautiful movement in the 1920s. The Chamber hired renowned landscape architect Ralph Cornell to create the landscape for the new civic center. The Chamber also loaned out Mr. Cornell to homeowners free of charge for the planning of their yards. Ms. Ackerman was a tireless promoter of not just business and merchant issues, but also civic issues. In a 1925 edi- tion of the COURIER, she stated, What Claremont is doing today, California will be doing tomorrow. The Chamber worked with the city to develop plans for the civic center and the newly-appointed planning commissions first order of business was to finalize those plans. The first part of the new civic center would be on Second Street and would include a first-floor fire and po- lice station and a second-floor city hall. The land was pur- chased in 1923, the bond issue passed in April 1924, construction began in June 1925, and the building opened on November 30, 1925. Given the close relationship between the Chamber and the city, the Chamber building was constructed on the northwest corner of Second Street and Harvard Avenue in 1930 as part of the civic center plan created by David Al- lison and Charles Cheney in the mid-1920s. In 1948, a new city hall was built around the Chamber and the posts of the old building were changed to arches to complement the new design. This building was home to the Chamber until 1975, when city hall was remodeled and the build- ing was occupied by the city managers office. The Chamber moved into the police offices on Second Street when the police station was completed on Bonita Avenue. The Chamber remained in the offices until the mid- 1990s, when the expansion and renovation of city hall caused the Chamber to relocate. In the early years, the Chamber was involved in many projects for the betterment of the community, including securing systematic garbage collection and paving streets. The organization also supported the construction of the library, zoning projects, flood control measures, parks and the post office. The early Fourth of July and Christmas programs were sponsored by the Chamber. The most significant influence on Claremonts growth after World War II was the establishment of the Postwar Planning Committee by the Chamber of Commerce. Cre- ated in August 1944, it was often called the Committee of One Hundred. The committee laid the groundwork for practices still in place today. Members of the execu- tive committee chaired a subcommittee that addressed areas such as the business district, finance, zoning ordi- nances, street trees, fire and police facilities, school district planning and parks. Additional recommendations in- cluded a professional rather than volunteer fire depart- ment, a city-manager form of government, designation of street trees for specific streets, the creation of a parks and recreation commission, tightening of zoning ordinances and a proposal for a memorial park to honor Claremonts war dead. Over the years, many of the civic and social initiatives undertaken by the Board of Trade, and then by the Cham- ber, have now become the responsibility of government agencies and charitable organizations. Although the mis- sion of the Chamber has changed little, its purpose re- mains steadfast to its historical beginnings: ...to provide strong leadership in serving the interest of business, pro- mote the inter-relationship between business and com- munity, and encourage business participation with civic and educational organizations and programs within the Claremont area. Today, the Chamber remains strong with over 500 members. On a recent Friday evening, my wife Karen and I were enjoying cocktails and the bar menu on the Casa 425 patio. We had stopped by the galleries on the Art Walk and encountered no less than 20 people we knew, along with hundreds of others enjoying the Village, as we made our way to our usual Friday night haunt, the music from the Public Plaza providing the evenings soundtrack. All of this did not just happen by chance, just like the COURIER had proclaimed nearly a hundred years ago. As we sat and enjoyed the evening, I thought about the history and the accomplishments of the city and the Chamber, about the continuum of planning, decisions and actions that culminated in this exact moment in time, this exact place, this exact experience. I smiled. Karen in- quired, What? I replied, What a nice evening. Claremont COURIER/Friday, September 12, 2014 6 The Claremont Chamber of Commerce by John Neiuber Claremont COURIER/Friday, September 12, 2014 7 Clarification from Ojai FLOW Dear Editor: We at Ojai FLOW recently became aware of Mr. Jim Belnas letter to the COURIER from September 5. His as- sertions about why Ojai didnt opt to use revenue bonds are misleading. It had nothing to do with timing or taxes, but was rather a simple matter of cost due to our unique circumstances. Ojai FLOWs original analysis did propose the use of revenue bonds (as Claremont is currently proposing) be- cause it is a more equitable distribution of the bond costs; e.g., the city of Ojai and Ojai Unified School District would pay their fair share. That penciled-out analysis proved to the Casitas Munici- pal Water District that Ojai ratepayers could buy their local Golden State Water Company operations with the savings derived from using Casitas water rates. Thats why Casitas took on the issue for Ojais Golden State ratepayers. Mr. Belna is correct about one thing, though not for the reasons he states. The Casitas Municipal Water District did decide to not use revenue bonds to finance its water system purchase. However, this does not indicate a prob- lem with revenue bonds. Revenue bonds are an excellent financing tool, which is precisely why we originally intended to use them. However, be- cause our bonds are not backed by a city, the use of Mello Roos bonds turned out to be more advantageous for Ojai rate payers. Claremonts circumstances are quite different. Since the city of Claremont would be backing your revenue bonds, we fully expect that they would be the most economical and the fairest financ- ing method for all the ratepayers. Id also like to refute another point made by Mr. Belna in his letter. He said, There is not a single example of a California city that has successfully consummated a hostile takeover of a water utility. To the contrary, Felton, California, with the help of its San Lorenzo Water District, successfully bought out their for-profit water com- pany a few years back. And in Ojai, 87 percent of the voting ratepayers voted last August in favor of buying out the Golden State Water Companys opera- tions in Ojai. You might also be interested to learn that we have personally discussed water issues with Mr. Belna. His argu- ments (pun intended) dont hold water. Our impression of those discussions is that he was not receptive to new facts that we brought forward. We believe he is, for reasons unknown to us, simply opposed to the citys purchase of your water system. Ojais ballot measure can be found on www.ojaiflow.com under the tab Refer- ence. Look for Measure V. Pat McPherson Chair, Ojai FLOW Robert Daddi Steering Committee Member Ojai FLOW Ojai, California Forms of communication Dear Editor: You know, Ive heard a rumor about a method of communication that can be use to voice personal opinions about a subject directly to the source. It can be ignored or passed around as that source sees fitsaved or discardedbut not made a part of an historical record, per- haps. It also can be kept in confidence, if that is what the communicators are inter- ested in. Its called a letter or a postcard. Its personally written and sent to a specific place or person, who is not obliged to share it. As a matter of fact even if there is no expectation of pass- ing the message on, the act of putting the message on paper may be its own purpose. In the case of a newspaper, such let- ters to the editor are sent specifically to share. In the case of a company or a friend, these missives may not be meant to share. They may be per- sonalanyone remember that concept? Could you substitute the words exclu- sive or private? Theres even a machine available to help the processa privacy machine on both ends called a typewriter. Helen Feller Claremont Were done with Golden State Dear Editor: Golden State Water just sent out a notice about its current rate increase re- quest, telling us that some customers will actually see a decrease in their water bills. They say an average resi- dential customer with a 5/8-by-3/4 meter using 15ccf per month would see a monthly decrease in the princely sum of 72 cents during the first year. Of course, since many residences have one-inch meters and the average use in Claremont is about 21ccf (from Golden States website), it doesnt seem likely many people would benefit from this tiny decrease, which would in any case only be for one year. And, of course, they are asking for increases on other charges and have added another rate tier (and lowered the usages where you pay a higher rate) so that their profits dont go down. So why, for the first time in many years, isnt Golden State asking the CPUC to approve a double-digit in- crease in Claremont water rates? I sus- pect they hope this will make us believe that they are turning over a new leaf and listening to us, so there is no need for us to proceed with purchasing the water system. Sensible people, how- ever, clearly see that if we dont gain control of the water system now, it will once again and forever be business as usual with double-digit increase re- quests every three years. Golden State Water Company, it is too little, too late. Youve had plenty of chances to work with Claremont resi- dents and refused them all. Wed like you gone. Patricia Lightfoot Claremont Local chef at the Fair Dear Editor: Great article on the LA County Fair!

Rob Sassaman Claremont READERS COMMENTS READERS COMMENTS/next page Water facts Dear Editor: In November, Claremont will vote on Measure W to authorize the city to issue up to $135 million in water rev- enue bonds to acquire the local water system. The outcome will powerfully affect our future. Voters need to know the facts. Unfortunately, comments from Heather Williams (August 22, COURIER) mislead in several ways and readers may believe these are well- researched facts. They are not. For ex- ample: ...the proceedings may last some years. There is little water system precedent, but there is one. Felton, a California town of 6000, voted to fund eminent domain proceeding and acqui- sition of their water system. The water company settled before the case went to trial, in under three years from passage of the citys bond. The city of Montclair, for example, tried to acquire its water system in the 1980s and failed. Thats not so. Mont- clair has always been served by the Monte Vista Water District, a public agency with locally-elected directors. According to a person involved at the time, in the 1970s there was some inter- est on the city council for taking over the system, but not majority support and there was no action. Courts do not always agree there is an overriding public interest... Where a water supply is at stake, it would be hard to conclude there is no public in- terest. Plaintiffs [here, that would be Golden State] get...what they estimate the property is worth and defendants pay...more than their highest estima- tion. That may apply when peoples houses are condemned, but here the ap- praised value of $55 million is likely to powerfully influence the decision on the value of the system. (And Golden State is the defendant, not the plaintiff.) If the city allows, the system may cost $79 million...the jury may award $118.5 million...the new total, $143.5 million. The appraised value is $55 million, not $79 million. An award of $118.5 million would not be expected. Thats $23,880 for each household to pay over the period of borrowing. Even if the above extreme cost estimate were to apply, the savings on water bills that didnt include GSW profits would cover most or all of the cost. This can be shown by comparison with water rates in neighboring cities. Why is this saving overlooked? Most importantly...the debt we incur...will constrain our ability to bor- row for other things like schools... Ac- cording to experts in city finance, that is not so. These bonds will be paid with income from the water enterprise, a de- sirable low-risk investment for lenders. And the bond money cannot be used for other things. It would function like a huge new tax. Again, savings are overlooked. Water bills that no longer include com- pany profits will cover a debt payment of up to $80 million, according to con- servative city estimates. Bond pay- ments will take the place of current charges, not add to them. If all water users are assessed equally for that debt, the rates for the smallest and most careful water users would rise 200 percent or more. Even if theentire $135 million in bonds were needed and the monthly bill had to in- crease by $28, as the city estimates, no bill would rise as much as 200 percent since the lowest meter charge alone is over $16. And, again, savings are not considered. Both Heather Williams and Rodney Smith, PhDs with the Claremont Col- leges, who hold professorial credentials in politics and economics, respectively, conclude in their publications that it would be foolish to buy the water sys- tembut they dont mention the well- known fact that water rates are lower in all our neighboring cities with munici- pal water systems, and these cities can be a model for Claremont. Why do they overlook facts, so obvious and impor- tant, that help make the case that it does make sense to take over our water sys- tem? Freeman Allen Claremont At War with Peace Dear Editor: At War with Peace This thunder of war is so loud, so deafening And the melody of peace so tranquil and sweet Could the noise be a plea for help or a submission of defeat? War roars, rages and ravages A need to be soothed by the balm of compassion and understanding Guided with courage in the spirit of forgiveness Let's adorn the armour of faith and carry the shield of prayer Go bravely where innocence is being mauled and fear explodes everywhere Dear lord please silence the cries of pain with melodies of love and hear our plea for the living water to douse the fire of hatred and mayhem Let's march forth with our heads held high and our egos surrendered to end the war with peace. 911 memorial God bless America!

Claremont COURIER/Friday, September 12, 2014 9 T his fall, Claremont resi- dents will be asked to weigh in on a conse- quential ballot measure that, if passed, would result in water bills approximately $100 per month higher than they are today. The city is seeking voter support for a $135 million water bond. A local coalition of community mem- bers, some of whom were born and raised in Claremont and all of whom have a vested interest in the future of our city, have joined together to oppose Measure W and educate the public about its harmful consequences. We are proud to live in a community of residents who pride themselves on thoughtful engagement of issues based on facts. Residents should review the facts, look closely at the claims being made about Measure W and ask if its worth the cost to current and future gen- erations of Claremont residents. For our neighbors who believe a takeover of the water system will lead to lower water bills, we encourage you to read the citys own impartial analysis of the ballot measure, which concedes that water bills will increase immediately. By how much? Measure W supporters dont know and havent provided residents with the facts to justify the $135 million plan. What we do know is thisa former Claremont McKenna professor studied Measure Ws debt plan and concluded that each Claremont household would have to pay $36,510. Thats an extra $1,217 per year. Note, this is simply the cost to pay off the bond obligation and doesnt include the price to provide water service or the cost of maintenance. Look no further than the recent UCLA water main rupture that tore through Los Angeles to understand the rising costs to maintain and replace southern Califor- nias aging infrastructure. Costs for in- frastructure repair and replacement are not included in the $135 million price tag. Those costs will be factored into fu- ture water rates and will be borne solely by Claremont taxpayers. In the history of California, there has never been a successful eminent domain takeover of a water company where the cost savings and lower rates people promised actually occurred. Proponents of eminent domain takeovers greatly underestimate the value of a water system. A recent exam- ple occurred in Santa Cruz County, where the cost to purchase the Felton system was 250 percent more than pro- ponents initially promised ($13.4 million vs. $5.3 million) and 670 percent more than takeover supporters initially prom- ised ($2 million). Measure W doesnt include any pro- visions to limit future rate increases. In 10 years, a new city council can raise the water tax without any voter approval. Make no mistake, once we are indebted to bondholders, regardless of how much water we use, well be forced to pay down the debt on this $135 million bond obligation. Measure W doesnt offer any im- provements to the local water system and will only straddle us with long-term debt. This is an unwise maneuver thats not in the best interest of Claremont taxpayers. There are too many questions unan- swered. We stand by our NO vote.

We focus on your health and your healthcare healthcare Barbara Bolinger Mitchell died on September 3, 2014 at her Palm Desert home after a valiant six-and-a-half- year battle with colorectal cancer. She was 68. She was surrounded by family and friends she loved, and who loved her deeply. Typical of her spirit, throughout her long illness she fiercely powered through every situation and obstacle that confronted her. She was born in Pomona on May 21, 1946 to Bob and Evalynn Bolinger and raised in Claremont. Her parents were onetime owners of the Village Grille and Casa Flores, and Mr. Bolinger served on the citys planning commission. As a youngster, Barbara enjoyed rid- ing alone on horseback, often bareback, for hours at a time on the old McKenna Ranch, loving the total freedom and the wind in her hair. At Claremont High School, she was athletic, belonging to the Girls Athletic Association and play- ing a variety of sports with great energy. Her high school classmates remember her infectious laughter. She was a fun- loving, somewhat rebellious person who knew how to enjoy life. After the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles, she was a lifelong rabid LA Dodger fan and once danced with Vin Scully in his broadcast booth. After graduating from Claremont High School in 1964, she studied busi- ness at Arizona State for two years. She put her studies on hold when she mar- ried William Steiner of Claremont and started a family, but eventually received her associates degree in interior design. Throughout her long career as an interior designer, she served many real estate ac- counts nationwide. She held marketing positions with firms such as Technicolor Inc. and worked in the advertising indus- try producing print, radio and television campaigns. Living her last 18 years in Palm Desert, she became an avid and able golfer as well as a delightful golfing partner, and was a valued contributor to the Avondale community. President of the Avondale Womens Golf Club for two years, she organized many golfing and social events. She was known as the life of the party, and never missed a gathering if she could help it. Always enthusiastic, totally determined and committed to the task at hand, she was a member of the Clubs golf and house committees. When it came to redesign- ing facilities, choosing paint colors or selecting furniture, Barbara was the go- to person upon whom others depended for her creative leadership and decision- making skills. Even through the struggle with her cancer, she still gave 120 percent of her- self in effort, until just recently, when she could finally give no more to her beloved Avondale, family shared. To know Barbara was to love her. She was a beautiful, vivacious and warm person who always contributed to the good humor of her surroundings. She was quick to laugh, quick-witted and fun to be around. She will be missed by her world of relatives and friends who knew and loved her. She was predeceased by her husband Jay Mitchell, who died in 2011. She is survived by her sister, Jane Bolinger Reed (John) of Los Altos; by her brother, Bill Bolinger (Ann) of Fallbrook; by her son and daughter-in-law, Scott and Nicole Steiner of Cave Creek, Arizona, with grandsons Brenden, Jackson and Greyson; by her daughter and son-in-law, Mindy and Patrick Green of Huntington Beach, with granddaughters Samantha and Jaylene. She also leaves her nieces, Robyn Reed of Cambridge, Massachu- setts and Heidi Reed of Pawtucket, Rhode Island, her adopted brother Terry Stratton of Carmel Valley and former husbands William Steiner of Fullerton and Richard Rakes of Palm Desert. A celebration of Barbara Mitchells life will be held on January 11, 2015 at 3:30 p.m. at the Avondale Country Club, 75800 Avondale Dr. Palm Desert.

Claremont COURIER/Friday, September 12, 2014 11 Barbara Bolinger Mitchell Gifted designer, loving mother, avid golfer OBITUARIES Winifred (Hendricks) Hafer Win Hafer, formerly Win Hendricks, died on September 7, 2014. She was 85. Mrs. Hafer was a longtime Claremont resident who co-founded Hendricks Pharmacy. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, September 13 at 2 p.m. at her daughters house, 3720 Pine Ave. in Meridian, Idaho. A full account of Mrs. Hafers life will be included in a future edition of the COURIER. W hy would Beethoven, one of the most influential composers who ever lived, spend much of his final years creating nearly three-dozen vari- ations on a waltz penned by a minor com- poser? This question obsesses musicologist Katherine Brandt, the protagonist of Moiss Kaufmans 33 Vari- ations. The play, which made its Broadway debut in 2009, is being presented by the local theater company Ophelias Jump in conjunction with Pomona College. It is, indeed, a fascinating story. Music publisher Anton Diabelli challenged numerous noted composers to adapt his waltzwhich Katherine considers mediocreas part of a publishing scheme. At first, Beethoven refused to take the musical dare but, once he changed his mind, the waltz and all of the possibili- ties it presented became one of the ailing composers chief preoccupations. He went on to create not just one composition but a suite of 33 variations, which famed music writer Donald Tovey called the greatest set of variations ever written. Katherine is so curious about this remarkable turn- about that she leaps at the chance to travel to Bonn, Germany to examine Beethovens notebooks firsthand. Her choice to undertake the journey would normally be a no-brainer, considering that she is an impassioned Beethoven scholar. It is complicated, however, by the fact that she has been diagnosed with swiftly progress- ing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), more com- monly known as Lou Gehrigs disease. Anticipating an inexorable physical deterioration, her daughter Clara begs her not to go but Katherine is un- deterred. What follows is a theatrical tapestry depict- ing a present-day musicologist searching for truth and an 18th century composer following an unpredictable but inspired muse against all odds. Dancing amid the music, Beethovens variations pre- sented quite literally by gifted pianist Vernon Snyder, is how Clara faces her mothers mortality while Kather- ine comes to terms with her daughters free-spirited choices and resultant mediocrity. Now in its second season, Ophelias Jump is proving to be a rich addition to Claremonts cultural scene. The casting of 33 Variations is impeccable and, under the fine direction of Ophelias Jump co-founder Caitlin Lopez, Mr. Kaufmans play and the musical world of 18th century Germany spring to life. Veteran actress Vicky Dawson Irvine is particularly affecting in her turn as Katherine, a driven academic who, it seems, must literally lose control of her body before she can order to let go of her rigid views. Her physical transformation, from poised scholar to a woman who must struggle to walk, speak and even swallow is wrenching. William Gillian as Beethoven is every inch the mu- sical genius, tormented by tinnitus and failing hearing as well as an array of health problems but beguiled by the heavenly sounds of the music in his mind. Other standouts include Max Herzfeld as Beethovens beleaguered but faithful servant Schindler and Rich Briggs as Diabelli, who as a businessman is impatient to get Beethovens variations in hand but as a diehard music lover knows that whatever the com- poser is creating is worth the wait. Ann Thomas shines as Dr. Gertrude Ladenbarger, custodian of the library where Beethovens works are housed. She exudes a compelling combination of rev- erence for Beethoven, concern for the physical and emotional struggles of Katherine and her daughter and the famous German restraint. And Lea Tranks Clarea epitomizes emotional openness and spiritedness, qual- ities that serve her well in this difficult time, even as they underline her mothers determinedly cool exterior. The cast is rounded out by Joe Martone as nurse Mike Clark, who helps ground the Brandt family in the often grim reality of ALS while capturing Claras heart. Timing is everything in the theater, and the medical storyline of 33 Variations couldnt be more timely. At the start of a matinee last Sunday, Ophelias Jump co- founder Beatrice Casagran shared that the company had selected 33 Variations for its season starter months be- fore the Ice Bucket Challenge went viral at the start of this summer, promoting awareness and raising money for the fight against ALS. Not only did the theater company undertake the chal- lenge, soaking themselves with icy water and then do- nating money to the ALS Association. A basket was placed next to the snacks sold during the intermission, where guests could opt to make a donation to the or- ganization. School board member Hilary LaConte was one of the 55 theater-supporting Curtain Raisers in attendance at Sundays performance of 33 Variations held in Pomona Colleges Allen Theatre. She praised the inti- macy of the venue as well as the performance itself. The play gives you the ability to listen to the story behind Beethovens writing of 33 Variations, listen to the piano and listen for the variations, Ms. LaConte said. I loved the way the professor is collecting data, looking at history and trying to figure things out, she continued. She starts with one hypothesis and ends up with another. I like seeing the scientific process played out in the field of music. Katherine can be abrasive at times, but Ms. LaConte said she was able to identify with the gutsy protagonist. She was a professional woman struggling to main- tain her life, she said. It would be so hard to let that go. The community will not have to let go of the talents of Ophelias Jump anytime soon. At the performance, it was announced that the company will again present its Midsummer Nights Shakespeare Festival at Pomona Colleges Greek Theater next summer, with performances of The Twelfth Night and Antony and Cleopatra in the works. Performances of 33 Variations will continue this weekend, September 12 through September 14, with performances set for Friday at 8 p.m.; Saturday at 3 and 8 p.m. and Sunday at 4 p.m. Shows are held in the Allen Studio Theater at Pomona College, 300 E. Bonita Ave. in Claremont. Tickets are $25 general admission and $22 for stu- dents and seniors and can be purchased online at www.opheliasjump.org. For more information, call (909) 624-1464.

Donna Lowe, founding member of CAWA and spokesperson for Stop the Water TaxVote No on W, received an email from a Claremont resident referring to the mailer as propaganda and isnt surprised by the allegations against the city. Jay Pocock, Mark Sterba and I were on a conference call and Jay mentioned he thought the mailer was unlawful. We talked to Randle Communications about it and we were all in agreement, says Ms. Lowe. If the city is going to put a zinger out there, what we can do is ensure the pe- tition isnt wasting our money and that they are adhering to campaign laws. The allegations put forth in the five- page letter from Mr. Hiltachk were ini- tially discussed at Tuesdays council meeting, with City Attorney Sonia Car- valho addressing the matter and working to debunk any wrongdoing. Mr. Hiltachk alleges that the citys communication is a campaign piece be- cause it was prepared, designed and dis- tributed by a special campaign consult- ant, Ms. Carvalho stated. He says that the communication was based on voter re- search, it looks like a campaign mailer and that it is one-sided.He is simply wrong. As the COURIER previously reported, the Claremont City Council unanimously approved the use of $176,000 from the citys general fund to hire Fiona Hutton & Associates to assist with public outreach as it pertains to the water system acquisi- tion. The independent firm has worked on several ballot initiative campaigns and specializes in complex policy issues and public education. Our consultant, Fiona Hutton, is highly regarded and experienced in ad- vising public agencies on informational materials, Ms. Carvalho said. She and our law firm clearly know the difference between an information piece and politi- cal advocacy. Ms. Hutton addressed city council and staff on July 8, reiterating her firms role and responsibility in adhering to the guidelines put forth by the Fair Political Practices Commission. We are well aware, particularly on this issue, that we have many eyes on us, she said. We have been very, very careful in advising council and our staff on where that line is between information and ad- vocacy. Were well aware of it, were mindful of it and we will not cross that line. Ms. Carvalho assured council members that the city has complied with campaign laws and communicated in a fact-based, unbiased manner regarding the ballot measure. The citys materials convey past and present facts, including how and why water service has become so important to the citys residents; the communication is not argumentative and does not encourage a vote in support or against Measure W. Ms. Lowe disagrees. The city was campaigning for votes; the language about rates skyrocketing, cities owning their own water and local control. The city has walked a fine line on this from the beginning. Unless youre re- ally paying attention, youll get rail- roaded. One thing is clear for Ms. Lowe, the November water bond measure will not get her vote. This is my home, thats what pisses me off about all of it, says Ms. Lowe. What the city is asking for with this bond measure is a lifetime of debt. I dont like debt. If we cant afford to pay cash for it at my house, we dont get it. I expect my city, my government and my nation to do the same. Mr. Hiltachk submitted a Public Records Request for all writings between city staff and Hutton & Associates relating to the water bond mailer, research refer- enced in Huttons contract and any other contract between the city and the vendor regarding Measure W. According to Ms. Carvalho, city staff will continue to move forward with the goal of educating and informing Clare- mont residents on the facts and their choices in November, despite the allega- tions against the city. A formal response to the cease and de- sist demand and Public Records Act re- quest will be prepared by the city. The COURIER will continue to provide those details as they become available. Angela Bailey news@claremont-courier.com Claremont COURIER/Friday, September 12, 2014 18 WATER BOND/continued from page 3 Hard work pays off for Wolfpack football in 21-13 win C laremont showed its Pack Pride on Friday, September 5, making their first win at their second non-season game against the Salesian Mustangs with a score of 21-13. Despite their loss on the first game against the El Rancho Dons, the Wolfpack defeated the Mustangs, who were the CIF champions last year and were nom- inated as one of the top 15 football teams in California. The Pack devoted extra practices to bring home a spectacular win, Head Coach Mike Collins explained. It was a fantastic game, Coach Collins said. Our team played awesome on defense. The Mustangs were so fast and athletic that we couldnt throw the ball, so we stuck to the ground game. We kept fighting back hard and Im just really thankful that the teams hard work paid off. The Pack started with a kickoff to the Mustangs. The game progressed slowly, as it seemed that the skills of each team were even. Both teams struggled to get to the ends of the field for a score, but then came a change of pace when the Pack surged up to score the first touch- down through running back Duy Tran-Sampson with 9 minutes and 5 seconds left in the third quarter. The ec- static crowd cheered for the team and Tran-Sampson, who had consistently made yard gains. I feel tired and Im all beat up, Tran-Sampson said. But it was worth it to hear everyone cheer. We played hard, we stopped their run plays, and we brought it to them. With 5 minutes into the third quarter, the Mustangs quickened their gameplay with the hope of outrunning Claremont. Their efforts were cut short when middle linebacker James Stephens almost immediately tackled the ball carrier. The Mustangs then fumbled the ball on a punt to the one-yard line for a Wolfpack take away. The clock was at 6 minutes and 35 seconds. The Pack saw their op- portunityand took itwhen quarterback Ryan OConnor made a sneak to score a touchdown, ad- vancing the score to 14-0. I tried to be as calm and composed as I could dur- ing the game, OConnor said. We knew that we were fighting a tough opponent, but we had the determination that it wasnt going to stop us from playing well. The Wolfpack and the Mustangs had strong defen- sive plays, challenging OConnor to make long passes to his receivers. The Mustangs pushed even harder against Claremont, even causing an injury to player Cameron Gray after a hard tackle. The Pack tried to keep the pressure from the Mus- tangs under control, but were unsuccessful when Mus- tangs running back Kyahva Tezino scored a touchdown with 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter. With a minute and 5 seconds left in the fourth quar- ter, Jeremy Kelley scored another touchdown for the Mustangs, putting the score at 14-13. CHS tight end Parker Bowman made a huge block of an extra point kicked by Heriberto Maldonado of the Mustangs, suc- cessfully stopping the Mustangs from tying the score. At this moment, the crowd could not sit any longer. Yells of encouragement and cheers from the Clare- mont Crazies got the Pack fighting harder. From the 11-yard line to goal for the Mustangs, the Pack intensi- fied their plays even further. Tran-Sampson and Gray received handoff passes from OConnor and made a total of 70-yard gains for Claremont, who were inching closer to the goal line. With just 49.8 seconds left in the game, and OCon- nor at the 20-yard line, a handoff was made to Tran- Sampson who then rushed for the touchdown, claiming the win for the Wolfpack. At their next game, Claremont will clash with the Vikings at Mountain View High School on Friday, Sep- tember 12 at 7 p.m. Phumanee Nosavan Phumanee Nosavan, a senior at CHS, is in her third year on the Wolfpacket staff. When not in classes, Phu- manee works in the garden at school, plays water polo and enjoys spending time with her family. Her favorite hobbies, she notes, include cooking, gardening, painting and studying the stars. SPORTS RENTALS Condo For Rent AVAILABLE Claremont condo on Baseline.

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that ELEANOR ARIZMENDI be appointed as per- sonal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the per- sonal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal rep- resentative will be required to give notice to in- terested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The inde- pendent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A HEARING ON THE PETITION WILL BE HELD IN THIS COURT AS FOLLOWS: Date: September 18, 2014 Time: 8:30 a.m. in Dept.: 29 Room: located at: Superior Court Of California, County Of Los Angeles, 111 North Hill Street Los Angeles, CA 90012 Central District IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE ACREDITOR 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 per- sonal 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 Califor- nia Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledge- able 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. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

Some of the changes to the ordinance include changing the title from Community Art Program to Public Art Program, as well as the addition of definitions for key terms that are used through- out the document. The title Public Art Pro- gram was selected because the ordinance is specific to public art. Community art pro- grams typically refer to a comprehensive arts and culture program that embraces and supports both public and private efforts. The amendments to Chapter 16.148 (Public Art) are summarized as follows: Establishes a Public Art Committee, consisting of 7 members appointed by the City Council to provide expert advice regarding the Public Art Program policies and procedures, artist selec- tion, review panels, artwork review, processes for development projects, and maintenance and conservation of artwork. Establishes the requirement that ten percent of the value of all new public art projects with a re- quired artwork valuation of $20,000 or greater be deposited into a Public Art Fund for future maintenance and implementation of the Public Art Program. Establishes policies for the gifts and loans of artwork, as well as the deaccession of artwork. Provides minor adjustments to the public art requirements for the process for reviewing pub- lic art for new development projects. Revises the Architectural Commissions role in reviewing public art for new development projects. Assigns responsibility to the City Manager, or his designee, for the administration of the Pub- lic Art Program. Clarifies the process for the approval of public art for new development. Expands the requirement for maintenance and replacement of public art for new development. Revises the eligible uses for the Public Art Fund. Requires the creation of an annual Public Art Workplan developed by the Public Art Committee.

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 510 GOLDEN SPRINGS DRIVE, #E, DIAMOND BAR, CA 91765-1459 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, regard- ing 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 Trustees Sale is estimated to be $115,714.55 (Es- timated). However, prepayment premiums, ac- crued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiarys bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addi- tion to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashiers 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 as- sociation, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Fi- nancial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be accept- able to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the is- suance of the Trustees 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 prop- erty receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is un- able to convey title for any reason, the successful bidders sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the suc- cessful bidder shall have no further recourse. No- tice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should under- stand 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 bid- der 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 Mort- gagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.
