Water savings
Pepper Tree Square
Dear Editor:
This letter is in response to Chet and
Eileen Jaegers Water Woes letter published in last weeks COURIER, as well
as Bob Gereckes letter of concern about
the fairness of the required 32 percent reduction in water use.
I am able to reduce our water use by
more than 32 percent and would like to
share some of the extra savings with families in our community, like the Jaegers,
who have done what they can to save
water. Maybe we can set up a water savings pool to do this.
I also want there to be water to sustain
our urban forest to provide shade and better air quality and close the carbon cycle.
Part of our heritage as a City of Trees
includes these benefits, which improve the
quality of life and the value of property in
Claremont.
Even though my home uses only about
half the water of a typical Claremont residence, with a more efficient washing machine and improvements to our irrigation,
I am able to achieve additional savings in
water use, while still adding seven more
citrus trees. Many others can reduce their
water consumption even more, compared
to what they're currently using.
The Low-Water Landscape Expo on
Sunday, June 14 at the Sustainability Resource Center in Rancho Santa Ana
Botanic Garden is intended to help you
learn how to do that.
In the future, by acquiring the water
company, Claremont should be able to
harvest and allocate water fairly as a community.
Lets use water wisely, and encourage,
not penalize, those who save.
Lets invest water we save to sustain
our green infrastructure.
Dear Editor:
My name is Gabriel and I am a boy
scout with Troop 411 in La Verne. While
I attend my scouting events in another city,
I live here in Claremont.
I would like to raise awareness of an issue that I have been following for quite
some time, and that is the status of Pepper
Tree Square on Indian Hill Boulevard and
Arrow Highway.
A while back, I used to have my martial
arts studio in one of the buildings in the
center. It was really convenient for me
since the only other Red Dragon Karate
dojo was in San Dimas. About three years
ago, the owner of Pepper Tree Square
evicted the studio and, shortly after,
evicted a market that used to be in the
building next to it. They have both been
empty since.
As I understand, the owner of the center has been out of contact with the city for
quite some time, seemingly negligent of
his land and the businesses that are still in
it. Without the market or the karate studio,
the other shops and restaurants have had
less people coming through to support
them.
Perhaps someone in the paper can write
a small piece about what is happening to
the square and the remaining businesses
there to raise awareness on the topic.
I know it might not be the biggest thing
to write about, but the businesses in the
square were really struggling for a while.
I believe some more awareness might
lessen the strain that is being put on them.
I enjoy the articles that are already in the
paper and the COURIER is doing a great
job on the topics it chooses. Thank you for
your time.

CITY NEWS
Irrigation, water-wise landscaping dominates council meeting
hings are going to look a little different here in Claremont. Soon will
be gone the green grass and inefficient sprinkler systems peppered throughout
the city and in their place will be smart, updated irrigation technology and water-wise
landscaping.
Despite the fact that project cost estimates and construction bids currently exceed the available budget for
each project presented at Tuesday nights meeting, the city
council unanimously gave the green light for city staff to
move forward with a number of water-conserving landscape projects including those at Shelton Park, City Hall,
College Park and the Indian Hill Boulevard median.
The projected estimated costs for all projects total
$1,188,805, although the current budget allows for
$351,100 in expenditures. With pending rebates at
$116,131, the city council will be required to appropriate
an additional $721,574 down the road to complete the
projects as planned.
City Hall
The plan for Claremont City Hall will include droughttolerant ground covers in passive use areas, a decomposed
granite plaza to accommodate more active use, planter
beds featuring drought-tolerant flowering perennials, a
vegetative bioswale, site furnishings and native trees.
The irrigation will be upgraded by replacing existing
spray heads with a combination of drip systems, microspray heads and the installation of deep-water bubblers
to new and existing trees.
The project is anticipated to reduce water consumption
by 54 percent compared to the existing design and would
take 45-60 working days to complete. The goal is to
complete the project before Village Venture on October
24; however, some areas will be off limits to the public
until winter 2016 as the plants become established in their
new location.
College Park
In years past, College Park has experienced a high
frequency of irrigation breaks that are disruptive to the
communityparticularly the Claremont Little League
which uses the park as its primary location for practices and games. With input from the organization, city
staff worked with Architerra Design Group and came

up with a plan for improving irrigation. The plan includes removing turf from select areas of the southern
and eastern portions of the park and installing a new,
efficient irrigation system with a smart controller and
central controls to improve monitoring and minimize
water usage. The existing artesian well would be integrated into the park as usable turf, and trees would be
put in separate irrigation zones to be watered independently. At the request of Claremont Little League, several mulched areas around the baseball fields will be
converted to decomposed granite and the outfield
warning tracks would be expanded for safety purposes.
City staff anticipates a recommendation to award a
contract that will be brought back to council in late
July, with construction beginning in August. It would
take 90 working days to complete.
It was also noted that in order to meet the commitments to Claremont Little League, the project must be
completed by January 1, 2016, to allow the scheduled
little league season to begin.

CITY COUNCIL/continues on page 5
Home burglaries have Claremont residents on high alert
laremont residents
have been buzzing
about the amount of
residential burglaries that have
plagued the city since the beginning of the year.
Many people believe that the passing
of Proposition 47, a referendum that redefined some nonviolent offenses as
misdemeanors rather than felonies, and
the implementation of AB 109, the socalled realignment legislation that ultimately results in the early release of
some inmates, has increased low-level
crimes in the community.
Although neighborhood watch
groups and social media have brought
local crimes to the forefront of our
minds, leading to the impression that
crime is on the rise, data provided by
the Claremont Police Department challenges that assumption. The first quarter of 2015 shows that there has been
no increase in residential burglaries
from the same period the previous year.
In fact, the numbers show a slight decrease from 2014.

What has changed from year to year
is just how these thieves operate.
Were seeing some pretty sophisticated groups out there, says Claremont Police Chief Paul Cooper. Cell
phone groups [a team of thieves connected via mobile] will come into a
community, drop off three or four guys
and the car will sit on the outside so its
really hard to catch them. Weve spent
$25,000 in overtime putting out extra
peoplein plain cars as well as black
and whitestrying to catch folks who
are stationary as well as patrols in cer-
Based on information obtained from the Claremont Police Department, residential burglaries are not concentrated in any specific neighborhood but, as
seen here on the map, are spread city-wide. Although burglaries are down
when comparing 2014 to 2015, police encourage residents to be mindful of unknown vehicles or strangers in their neighborhoods.
tain areas where we think they are

going to hit. Weve been successful in
catching a couple, but its not just one
group.
No doubt about it, burglars are getting increasingly brazen as evidenced
in the COURIER police blotter.
Theyve proved willing to strike at any
time of day and every day of the week,
using various methods to gain entry to
a residence. Sometimes thieves break a
window or a sliding glass door or, more
aggressively, kick in the front door to a
home.
On March 26, a resident on the 3900
block of Northampton Avenue reported
that two black male adults broke into
the residence by kicking in the front
door. At the time of the home invasion,
a 20-year-old male resident was home
with his headphones on. He heard two
loud bangs and came to the front of the
residence, where he saw two suspects
fleeing the location. An unknown vehicle was heard leaving northbound from
the location. The would-be thieves
were never caught.
Although some criminals get away
with their crimes, the vigilance of
homeowners and residents has been an
asset to police in leading to their capture.
On April 9, Claremont police caught
the bad guys thanks to the keen eye of a
homeowner following a burglary in
progress at her residence. Officers responded to the 1000 block of Pomello
Drive at 3:20 p.m. after the victim arrived home and saw the door to the
garage was open. She called into the
residence and a male came walking out
holding an iPad, telling her he was a
contractor doing work and then walked
past her as she entered the home. At
that point, the resident realized her
home had been burglarized and later reported over $250,000 in jewelry stolen.
The victim told police she saw a car
backed in at the northeastern portion of

Demolition of former Rich Products well underway
emolition of Rich Products, the vacant industrial building located in

Village West, began last week
with workers gutting the belly of
the beast.
Crews were on site June 1, dismantling

the extensive refrigeration system within
the buildings interior and removing items
for salvage in preparation for the structures demolition expected in the next
several weeks.
The workers will begin their day at 8
a.m. as opposed to the usual 7 a.m., explained David Bolour, vice president of
Denley Investments and Management,
during a tour of the property. It was
something asked of us by nearby residents, and were happy to accommodate
their request.
Denley is the mastermind behind The
Village Lofts, a four-story mixed-use
project located along First Street between
Oberlin and Cornell Avenues. A target
date for completion is March 2017.

At approximately 10,000 square feet,
the first floor of The Village Lofts will
consist of restaurant and retail space and
the work portion of 10 live/work loft
spaces. The second, third and fourth
floors will offer 64 residential apartments.
Plans are set for a two-level, 180-space
parking structure on the first and second
floors. Neighboring residents have expressed concerns given the parking issues already plaguing the area.
Parking near the Packing House will be
impacted as fencing has been installed
around the buildings perimeter and No
Parking signs posted along Oberlin and
Cornell.
Demolition is expected to last through
mid-August, with construction of The
Village Lofts beginning shortly thereafter. Work was originally scheduled to
begin in April but was pushed back until

A burglar expanded his investment
portfolio after stealing government
bonds from the home of a Claremont
resident. According to Lieutenant Mike
Ciszek, the unknown thief entered a
residence on the 800 block of Maryhurst Drive between 8:10 p.m. and 9:30
p.m. by kicking in the rear French patio
door. After ransacking the place, the
thief located $4,000 in US bonds and
fled the scene undetected. The investigation remains ongoing.
Wednesday, June 3
A Claremont resident driving erratically through city streets was arrested
for possession of heroin. Around 3
p.m., a Chevy Cobalt caught the eye of
CPD as it traveled at speeds of up to 75
miles per hour near Black Hills Drive
and Mills Avenue. The vehicle continued south on Mills near Chaparral Park
where children were playing in a
nearby schoolyard. Police pulled over
the 27-year-old driver for numerous infractions including speeding, tailgating
and changing lanes without signaling
and a search of his vehicle turned up
heroin wrapped in tin foil. The local
man was booked at Claremont jail and
later released on $1,000 bond.

Three is an unlucky number for one
man caught with a trio of roadies and
nearly thrice the legal drink-drive limit.
Juan Salvador was traveling near First
Street and Harvard Avenue around
10:30 p.m. when he blew through a
stop sign and was stopped by Claremont police. A records check revealed
the 41-year-old driver had an outstanding warrant for his arrest and was driving on a suspended license. Officers
arrested Mr. Salvador for the warrant
and placed him in the back of their pa-
trol unit. A search of his Hyundai Accent turned up three beer canstwo
under the passenger seat and one under
the drivers seatstill cool to the
touch. The Pomona man was found to
be three times the legal limit, arrested
for driving under the influence and released on $5,230 bond.

Claremont High School seniors are
thought to be behind the latest hijinks
on campus that resulted in $700 in
damage to school property. Sometime
between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. the following day, unknown suspects sprayed all
seven of the main office doors and
locks with a foamy glue-like substance.
Officers responded to the school and
discovered the foam had expanded and
dried in the keyholes to the locks, preventing school staff from entering the
building. A school administrator told
Claremont police the vandalism was
most likely a senior prank. While
school may be out for the summer, the
investigation remains ongoing.
Thursday, June 4
A safe at Pomona Valley Health Centers Urgent Care containing prescription medication was compromised and
it may have been an inside job. According to Lt. Ciszek, sometime between
May 7 and June 4 unknown suspects
stole three cases of hydrocodone from
the coffer inside the facility. Each case
contained 20 bottles with 30 pills each.
There were no signs of forced entry and
multiple employees have access to the
lockbox. The investigation remains ongoing.

the vehicle, took off his shirt and began
retching outside. With his girlfriend

Mr. Siemer stumbled off the sidewalk
and onto the grass with the sprinklers

scene and arrested the 23-year-old for

Bodily force was the weapon of
choice for burglars who ransacked a
home on the 700 block of Rockford
Drive. Officers were called to the scene
after the unknown intruder kicked in a
pedestrian garage door between 7 and
8:45 p.m. in order to gain access to the
home. Once inside, the thief stole jewelry and a pillowcase from the master
bedroom and fled the scene undetected.
The investigation remains ongoing.
Saturday, June 6
A man with a fancy ride played
bumper cars with the curbs of Claremont and was arrested for driving
under the influence. Officers were
called to Arrow Highway and Indian
Hill following a call of a golden sedan
hitting the curbs while traveling in the
area. Police located a 2002 gold Lincoln and conducted a traffic stop,
speaking with driver Rene Gomez, who
smelled of alcohol and exhibited signs
of intoxication. Further investigation
revealed the 33-year-old West Hollywood resident was four times the legal
limit. Mr. Gomez was booked at Claremont jail and later released on $20,000

An Upland gal short on cash didnt
let that stop her from discovering
Claremont. Erica Davis walked to
Norms from the Metro station, had a

meal with a friend around 1 p.m. and
then skipped out on the $33 bill. A witness confronted the 23-year-old dasher
and detained her until officers arrived
to the coffee shop. Ms. Davis told police that shed had $40 but must have
lost it while walking to the eatery.
When she realized she only had $7 and
the cashier asked if shed paid her bill,
she said yes and then walked out. I
should have said no but I panicked,
she told officers, adding, I cant go to
jail. I was just arrested for evading police about two weeks ago! Claremont
police didnt see it that way and arrested Ms. Davis for defrauding an
innkeeper. She was later released on
$500 bail.

A Pomona resident with a penchant
for mail theft was arrested by the Claremont Police Department for possession
of stolen property, identity theft and

saw her mailbox leaning over with a female standing near it. Officers responded and located the suspects
vehicle, an older black sedan, and conducted a traffic stop. Police questioned
and arrested the driver, Raquel Carrillo,
after finding between 100 to 200 pieces
of mail inside the vehicle that did not

During routine patrol the following day, a Claremont officer spotted the vehicle on the 400 block of
Auto Center Drive and followed it as it entered eastbound on the 10 freeway from Indian Hill Boulevard,
The female driver, Esther Setiawan, 27, and male passenger, Angelo Barsotti, 42, were stopped by police,

Property from the Pomello burglary as well as others
was located inside the vehicle. Both suspects had
prior arrests for burglary, forgery and other offenses.
On April 18, alert residents again helped Claremont
police who arrested 29-year-old Ryan Coon, a transient who burglarized a home on the 300 block of
West Harrison Drive. A witness saw the burglary in
progress and then chased the suspect while nearby
residents called 9-1-1. Claremont police set up a
perimeter and a K-9 unit from the Pomona Police Department as well as a helicopter from the Ontario Police Department that arrived to assist. After an
approximate 45-minute search, Mr. Coon was located
hiding beneath a house on Sixth Street and was arrested.
Claremont police credited the observations and
quick phone calls of Claremont residents in aiding in
the suspects capture.
You would not believe how many people call us
after the fact, Chief Cooper said. Even if it turns out
to be nothing, wed rather us come out than come out
after the fact and have someone be victimized.
The Department on Homeland Securitys campaign, If you see something, say something, applies
to local law enforcement, and alert residents play an
integral role in keeping the community safe.
If a resident sees something suspicious or out of
the ordinary, call the police and let us come out and
figure out whether it is or isnt, because thats the only

way. Most of the time when we catch these people,
its because a resident was paying attention, says
Chief Cooper. Everybody has that sixth sense that
something is wrong, and they need to listen to it.
Be proactive
o prevent your home from being

burglarized, there are several steps
you can take to deter burglars or
make it difficult for them to break in.
1) Lock all your doors, windows, garages, sheds

and vehicles when you leave your home or go to bed
to make it difficult for burglars to enter without attracting the attention of others. Put locks on your
gates because burglars are going into the backyard to
stay out of view, but they dont want to have to hop a
fence.
Were still getting people who are leaving their
cars unlocked in the driveways, Chief Cooper says.
My wife will tell you, Im a freak at night. Before I
go to bed, if the cars are in the drivewaynot the
garageI turn the alarm on. I check the front doors
and sliders and make sure everything is locked. I
worry just as much as residents because five of the
homes that have burglarized are within two blocks of
my own house.
2) Install motion-sensor lighting outdoors. Outdoor
motion lighting will startle a thief or burglar outside
your home and will likely send them elsewhere. Be
sure to install your security light high enough and out
of reach so it cannot be tampered with or purchase a
vandal-proof model.
3) Install a home alarm system.People should get
alarm systems and use them. If they have the money
to get cameras, thats great. It helps police, explains
the chief. Dogs are always helpful, because burglars
try to avoid dogs. They still bark at people they dont
know.
4) Teach children what to do if someone comes to

the door and youre not home. If you have a kid that
stays home or is sick, Chief Cooper recommends that
you prep the kids ahead of time so theyll know what
to do. They dont have to answer the door but they
should say through the door that they arent interested. At least the bad guy knows someone is home
and theyre going to leave. If they persist, call police.
5) Perform routine tasks and clean up your property
on a regular basis to show you are occupying your
home. Collect newspapers from your driveway,
empty your mailbox regularly and pick up discarded
trash that has landed in your yard. Trim bushes so that
there is a clear view to the doors and windows around
your home. If a burglar cant find cover, they are less
likely to break in.
6) Dont leave valuables visible in your car. Recreational users of the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park,
particularly those who park at Evey Canyon, are at
risk for theft. Thieves know that if cars are there,
their drivers are going to be up there for at least an
hour or more while people are hiking. They look for
purses on the floorboards so people have got to secure
stuff in their trunk or, at the very least, dont take your
purse with you, Chief Cooper advised. If youre hot
and sweaty, youre probably going to go home and
take a shower anyway. Just have your drivers license,
your cell phone and your cash. If they can break into
your car, they can get into your trunk.
While the mission of the Claremont Police Department is to serve and protect, remaining alert, reporting suspicious activity and being a good neighbor is
the responsibility of the entire Claremont community.
I could add five more cops tomorrow or I could
have 100 cops, that doesnt mean we are going to be a
crime-free community, Chief Cooper said. Even if
we get crime levels low, it really takes that partnership between the community and the department to
make it work.

Taking the lead

How can we know the dancer

if youre looking for me on the dance
floor, Im the one trying to push my poor
husband all over the place.
I cant help it. Its like Fred Astaire famously sang
(and Sammy Cahn and James Van Heusen wrote), I
like to lead when I dance. Upon first hearing this
lyrical bit of bossiness, I thought it simply applied to
anyone who liked to be in charge. When I was little
and played house with my sister, we pretended to
dance like grown-ups and I always led.
In grade school, we had square dancing for PE (and
this was not Appalachiait was Covina, California,
circa 1969). I simply could not abide being pushed,
spun and flung by a prepubescent male who thought
the whole exercise (and this counted as a cardiovascular workout on a rainy day) was the dorkiest thing
ever. I always tried to dance with another girl so that I
could lead.
In junior high, I learned how to slow dance, and
it was nothing like Fred and Ginger. It was Dennis D,

Dance Studio on 5th Avenue in New York City (my

gosh what this man hasnt done for me!).
Our instructor was Manuel. He was tall and young
and he tried very hard to teach us to waltz and chacha and merengue. One-two-three, two-two-three,
Manuel twirled me about the studio, but his hands
were a little clammy and I like to think thats why I
wasnt able to concentrate as well as I should have.
My husband and I did enjoy an exuberant first
waltz that was truly, mostly, dancing on air (I was
very happy at the receptionhappy to be married and
happy to have made it through a Jewish ceremony
without having to speak a word of Hebrew).
Over the years, other than bar and bat mitzvahs, we
havent had many occasions to trip the light fantastic,
or each other for that matter, until this past weekend
when we attended a ballroom-themed birthday party
for a good friend. A pair of professional dancers
taught us the east coast swing. My husband and I
tried, we really did. And in the end, we realized that
we are often most truly in sync when we are laughing
and that I am never going to learn how to do everything Ginger Rogers did with Fred Astaire, backwards
and in high heels.

Pomona College Art Museum in Claremont

by Kirk Delman
he Claremont Colleges
have built outstanding
gallery programs and
collections for many years that
have enhanced our communitys rich artistic legacy.
The Florence Rand Lang Gallery at

Scripps opened in 1939 followed by the
Gladys K. Montgomery Gallery at
Pomona in 1958. Every artist that the
city of Claremont has embraced as one
of its own has been associated with one
of the Claremont Colleges.
I find it odd and greatly disappointing that some members of the Claremont community appear not at all
enthusiastic about the proposed art museum at Pomona College but are
wholly supportive of the future Claremont Lincoln University Performance
Stage at Shelton Park.
Here are my observations.
Shelton Park was the last open area
in downtown Claremont that provided a
tranquil respite for our community and
visitors. We already have a fantastic
music venue in Memorial Park adjacent
to the Claremont Heritage Foundation
which is considerably larger and established as an important venue for a vari-
ety of city events.

The website for the new performance
stage advertises a list of potential
events that seem a bit farfetched and
often unnecessary such as: art shows, a
new venue for use by children from the
Claremont school system; and The
Claremont Colleges students and faculty music, art, thesis and doctoral presentations. I dont think so. Most
schools in Claremont have auditoriums
or multipurpose rooms to stage their
events and, with budgets as they are,
would not easily be able to hold performances off-campus. Art shows? No
way. And how did student thesis and
doctoral presentations make it on the
list? Really?
On the other hand, Pomona College
has proposed building a state-of-the-art
museum to exhibit, house and conserve
their collection of art, while bringing
major artists, collectors, researchers,
students and visitors to the campus and
to our city
In addition, a significant architecturally designed building will only add
to our other architectural jewels in the
city designed by architects: Myron
Hunt, Charles and Henry Greene, Gordon Kaufmann, Richard Neutra, Edward Durell Stone and Fred McDowell,
VIEWPOINT
to name just a few. Machado and Silvetti, the architects designing the new
PCMA, are also internationallyrenowned and have recently been involved with more than a dozen art
museum projects including the Getty
Villa in Malibu, The Ringling Museum
of Art in Sarasota, Florida and the Mint
Museum in Charlotte, North Carolina.
As far as I understand, the Pomona
College Museum of Art will be paid for
and maintained by Pomona College
alone, while the Claremont Lincoln
University Performance Stage at Shelton Park is being funded by CLU and
donations from the community-at-large
and will be maintained by the city of
Claremont at a cost to the taxpayers.
As for encroachment and parking,
the property is already owned by
Pomona College and they have had a
museum, music department and performing space just across the street for
more than 40 years without any problems to speak of. Pomona College also
built a parking structure on First and
Columbia that more than covers any
overflow visitor parking. The buildings
on the southwest corner of Bonita and

College are only noteworthy because
they were once a part of the old Claremont Inn, which sadly was historic and
would have been important to save.
Dont get me wrong, the Claremont
Lincoln University Performance Stage
at Shelton Park is an fine example of
the communitys desire for more venues of quality in our town, though I do
feel this one is redundant considering
our existing outdoor stage. But please
remember, PCMA has a proven exhibition record and has devoted many hours
of sharing their collection with our
school-aged children and their families.
The considerable amount of time
they have devoted in developing a valuable resource for students, the Claremont community, out-of-town visitors
and outside museum professionals is
embedded in the colleges mission and
will enhance all of our lives for many
years to come. With that in mind, I encourage you to support the PCMAs
new art museum site.

and Registrar for the Ruth Chandler
Williamson Gallery at Scripps College.

Margaret Woosley
OBITUARIES
Loving wife and sister, natural caregiver

Margaret Woosley died on May 30,
2015. She was 96.
Mrs. Woosley was born in Los Angeles on July 21, 1918 to Vera and Jonas
Frownfelter and spent her early years in
Upland. After her family moved to Alhambra, she graduated from Alhambra
High School.
In 1978, she married Dean Woosley, a
former high school classmate and longtime friend. They enjoyed spending time
around the pool and traveling to visit
Margarets sister Mary in northern California.
Mrs. Woosley did some bookkeeping
for May Company and the Lerners dress
company. Much of her time, however,
was spent caring for others. She cared for
her husband after he became ill. Mar-
garet lived with her mother her entire

life, even after marrying Mr. Woosley.
After Dean died in 1986, she continued to
care for her mother until her death at age
98. After her mom died, Mrs. Woosleys
oldest sister Vera came to live with her
and she cared for her until she died in her
late 80s.
While she had no children of her own,
Mrs. Woosley was the go-to babysitter
for her nephews and nieces. Over the
years, she took great pleasure in the company of Deans children, grandchildren
and great-grandchildren. Mrs. Woosley
was a fine cook, renowned for her lemon
cake. She loved word puzzles, movies
and TV, and got a kick out of watching
the weekly exploits of Chuck Norris in
Walker, Texas Ranger. Every Sunday,
she spoke on the phone with her older sister Mary, who is 98, and she visited with
her other sister, 89-year-old Thelma, as
often as possible.
Six years ago, Mrs. Woosley moved to
the Pilgrim Place Health Services Center.
She enjoyed making friends there and
taking part in the many activities offered
to residents.
She would look out for her friends
wellbeing. It was just her nature to be

friendly and outgoing and help people,
her stepson Don said.
Mrs. Woosley and two fellow Pilgrim
Place residents, Janis Weinberger and
Lois Keating, had a standing weekly dinner date for the past two-and-a-half years.
Janis son, COURIER publisher Peter
Weinberger, would join the girls, bringing In & Out and pizza from Pizza n
Such on an alternating basis. Mrs.
Woosley was sharp as a tack right up until the end of her life, according to family.
She was easygoing, had a good sense
of humor and loved being with family,
her stepson Don said. She was a sweetheart.
Mrs. Woosley is survived by her sisters, Mary and Thelma; her stepson and
his wife, Don and Linda Woosley, and
their sons Brian and Brad; by her stepdaughter Deanna, her son Marc and her
daughters Lori and Carri and by six greatgrandchildren.
A funeral was held at Forest Lawn and
a memorial service was held at Pilgrim
Place. In lieu of flowers, the family asks
that donations be made to the Pilgrim
Place Health Services Center.
Joanne Hobo
Joanne Hobo, a La Verne resident
who was involved in the Claremont
community with her daughters and
grandchildren and also worked for the
Claremont-based certified public accounting firm Gray, Salt & Associates,
died on June 8, 2015. She was 80.
A memorial service will be held on
Saturday, June 13 at 3 p.m. at Sierra
Vista Church, 1589 W. 9th St. in Up-
land. A reception will follow. In lieu of

flowers, the family asks that contributions be made to the Challenges Foundation (challengesfoundation.org), an
organization aimed at improving the
lives of veterans and foster kids
through sailing.
A full account of Mrs. Hobos life
will be included in a future edition of
the COURIER.
Alexis Marxmiller Owings
OBITUARIES
Beloved daughter, activist for human and animal rights

Alexis Marxmiller Owings, a former
Claremont resident, died on May 27,
2015. She was 42.
Ms. Owings was born in Upland on
July 29, 1972, moving with her family
to Claremont when she was 8. She attended Chaparral and Vista elementary
schools and El Roble Intermediate
School, graduating from Claremont
High School in 1990. She attended
Humboldt State University and earned
a Bachelor of Science degree from University of Phoenix.
She spent several years working for
Padua Village, a program through Casa
Colina providing long-term assistance
for developmentally disabled adults.
She cared very deeply for the residents, her mother Margaret Winningham said.
Ms. Owings spoke fluent Spanish,
loved Mexican and Mediterranean cuisine and especially enjoyed eating at
Walters Restaurant in Claremont. As
young as 14 months of age, her favorite
food was spicy homemade enchiladas.
She was fascinated by the art of Frida
Kahlo, and her mother remembers with
fondness the year Alexis showered her
with Frida Kahlo and other Mexican
art. For Mothers Day, she took her
mom to a touring exhibition of Frida
Kahlo appearing in La Jolla. For her

mothers birthday, Ms. Owings took
her to see the film Frida. And for
Christmas that year, Ms. Owings gave
her mother DVDs of Frida, Like
Water for Chocolate, Real Women
Have Curves and The Milagro Bean
Field War. All in all, remembers Ms.
Winningham, it was a glorious year.
Ms. Owings was committed to preserving the environment and endangered species. She was an outdoors
enthusiast who enjoyed backpacking in
the Sierras with her father and stepmother. She also enjoyed many sailing
trips with them to Catalina.
Ms. Owings will be remembered for
her marvelous sense of humor, regaling
family and friends with her witticisms
and infectious laughter and often sharing work by her favorite cartoonist
Gary Larson. She will also be remembered for her caring and compassionate
nature. She did not reckon people by
their ethnicity, their abilities or their
socio-economic status but rather by
how kind and compassionate they were
toward others, especially those less fortunate. Two of the most memorable
events in her life were hearing Nelson
Mandela speak in Los Angeles and
meeting Archbishop Desmond Tutu at
an Episcopal Church conference in
Anaheim.
Ms. Owings was especially passionate about the marginalized in our society, particularly veterans, and was very
supportive of programs and initiatives
providing them with tools to better living. She supported Habitat for Humanity and Heifer International, and was
always willing to roll up her shirtsleeves to support politicians she felt
were worthy. She volunteered with the
2008 Obama for President Campaign
Every Friday in print.

Every day online.

Claremont
and for Gloria Negrete McLeods campaigns for State Assembly and State
Senate.
Ms. Owings was also dedicated to
helping at-risk animals, both endangered species and the abused animals
that end up in shelters across the country. She lent her support to Best Friends
Animal Society, Search Dog Foundation, World Wildlife Fund, 96 Elephants and the SPCA.
Ms. Owings is survived by her
mother Margaret Winningham of
Pomona, by her father and stepmother
Tim and Diane Marxmiller of Escondido, by several aunts and uncles and
by numerous cousins.
Honoring her commitment to helping
humans and animals alike, donations
may be made in Ms. Owings memory
to Search Dog Foundation, a nonprofit
pairing rescued dogs with firefighters to
find people buried alive in the wreckage of disasters. You can donate via
their website at www.searchdogfoundation.org/donate or send checks to The
National Search Dog Foundation, 501
E. Ojai Ave., Ojai, CA 93023. Donations should indicate they are in honor
of Alexis Megan Owings.
A private remembrance service will
be held in the future.
Rosa Augusto
Rosa Louisa Letechi Augusto, a longtime Claremont resident, died peacefully in her sleep on Saturday, June 6, 2015. She was 95.
A mass in her honor will be held at Our Lady of
Assumption Church, 435 N. Berkeley Ave. in Claremont, on Friday, June 12 at 1:15 p.m. In lieu of
flowers, donations may be made in Mrs. Augustos
name to the Friends of Claremont Senior Foundation, 660 N. Mountain Ave., Claremont, CA 91711.
A full account of Mrs. Augustos life will appear
in a future edition of the COURIER.

Superintendent reflects on a busy year at CUSD

by Jim Elssaser, Claremont Unified School District superintendent
he 2014-2015 school
year has been very exciting for staff and students throughout Claremont
Unified School District. Teachers have spent tireless hours creating and teaching new units of
study aligned to the California
Standards, formerly known as
the Common Core State Standards.
Throughout the spring, students in

grades 3 through 8, as well as high school
juniors, were required to take the California Assessment of Student Performance
and Progress (CAASPP), which are summative assessments in English language
arts and mathematics.
This was the first statewide administration of new online tests, replacing the paper-based, multiple-choice Standardized
Testing and Reporting (STAR) program.
The states new assessment system represents the next step in Californias plan for
providing high-quality teaching and learning in every school, including higher academic standards, more decision-making in
the hands of schools and communities and
more resources dedicated to schools and to
students with the greatest needs.
In preparation for the new online assessments, technology was purchased that
could be used not only for state assessments but could also provide engaging
educational opportunities.
After extensive exploration of various
devices, iPads were selected because of

the myriad ways they support teaching
and learning. Teachers have gone through
extensive training on how to effectively
use and implement iPad technology as an
instructional tool in their classrooms. As
a result, students are using technology in
meaningful and exciting ways to demonstrate mastery of the California Standards.
A fifth grade class at Chaparral worked
in teams to create and share infomercials
to summarize their trip to camp. Using
iMovie and iMovie Trailers, students created short films that illustrated the geography of Idyllwild, the science standards
taught in their curriculum and the overall
excitement of their learning experience at
camp.
Condit third graders worked collaboratively to complete and present research
projects on biomes using Green Screen
Video Technology from within the biome.
They then pieced the video clips, photos
and narrative descriptions of animal and
plant adaptations into an iMovie production, creating sophisticated audio/visual
presentations that truly redefined the curriculum in a previously unimaginable way.
Danbury students, who may experience
difficulties with fine motor skills and thus
shied away from writing, are now using
iPads as assistive technology throughout
the writing process.
Sixth grade students at Mountain View
have created diverse, standards-based
projects that have allowed them to research, analyze, share, explain, compare,
create and import images and videos, producing high-quality keynote presentations
and videos in iMovie.
Social studies has become very engaging for a fifth and sixth grade combination
class at Oakmont. Rather than reading a
chapter from their textbook and writing a
summary on the Fertile Crescent region,
students created infographics (a visual
representation of data) and presented their
findings to their peers, showing how the
development of agriculture supported the
growth of cities in Mesopotamia.
A class of fifth grade students at Sumner researched debate topics, completed
their pre-writing in Flip, created dialogue
in Notes or Pages, read drafts into Audio
Memo and presented their debates using
iMovie. The culminating activity involved
parents using a QR reader on their smartphones to access their childs debate during open house.
Second and third grade students at
Sycamore researched and created an
iMovie for their chosen biography. Each
movie required students to import pictures, narrate footage and use editing techniques to add music. Students then exported the content into a class movie
documenting the lives of 24 significant
people in history.
After learning about the different forms
of figurative language, students in a fifth
and sixth grade classroom at Vista del
Valle created a figurative language book in
Book Creator. Students demonstrated the
literal and figurative meaning of a sentence or phrase through illustrations, either
through drawing their own pictures,
downloading pictures they took themselves or a combination of both.
A group of eighth grade students at El
Roble participated in an Early Republic
Newscast project. They worked in teams

to research a topic and write a script in
Google Docs, and created a professional
newscast in iMovie that was shared with
the entire class.
Students in an eleventh grade social
studies class at Claremont High School
studied the Cuban Missile Crisis through
the use of an app called The Brink. This
app took students to the National Archives
and John F. Kennedy Library and Museum. Students experienced this moment
in time in a way that truly made history
tangible by having access to primary
source documents, which included declassified photos, memos, documents,
recordings and films. Students used the
items from this collection to write an
analysis on an aspect of the Cuban Missile
Crisis.
San Antonio High School is the only
school in CUSD where every student has
their own iPad. Seniors were engaged in a
cross-curricular project for their senior
English and government classes. Students
used Keynote to give presentations on
what they had learned throughout the semester and, through the use of iMovie,
wrote, filmed, edited and produced public
service announcements that contributed
to media education.
If you are interested in observing some
of the exciting projects that are taking
place throughout the district, please contact my office to arrange a tour when
school resumes in the fall.
On behalf of the board of education, I
would like to thank you for your continued
support of Claremont Unified School District.

Sarah Tran is ready to begin a new stage
of her life at Brown University.
Sarah plans to major in health and human biology
to achieve her ultimate goal of becoming an obstetrician-gynecologist. With a diverse community of energetic students, Sarah immediately felt at home when
interacting with other admittees on the Brown Facebook page. She found that they were the most outspoken students of any college page that she joined and
could not help but be drawn to their vivacity. Oftentimes, students would post trivia questions or even
ask for fashion help on the Facebook page.
It was this energy and willingness to befriend total
strangers that convinced Sarah that Brown was the
school for her; howeverit is not just the camaraderie that made her smile as she continuously saw
people of all different races and religions join together
and dissolve boundariesbut also the challenge of
living in a new environment.
As she takes this next step in her life, Sarah looks
to her role model, actor Ken Jeong, for encouragement. Mr. Jeong, the epitome of versatility in her
eyes, has always been able to bring happiness to those
around him through doing what he loves most, acting.

sonality to match, Sarah feels a clear connection between the two of them and strives to embody his view
of happiness.
Just like him, I want to be able to bring joy to
those around me with my quirks, Sarah said.
Maybe I will accomplish this goal while interacting
with patients in the hospital or possibly onscreen, but
[either way], I want to be able to make other people
happy.
Throughout her high school career, Sarah immersed herself in not only the academic aspects of
CHS but also the social life, always embracing her
witty and outgoing personality. She will always remember the time she played Usher in the modern ver-
sion of the Our Town play, as she did not hold back
from expressing his quirky character or busting her
own moves alongside her classmate.
I think I scared him with my
dance moves, but I have no regrets, Sarah said.

experiences that college will bring her.
As this valedictorian finishes her high school career, she does not want to simply be remembered for
her hard work and dedication to her studies. Instead,
she wants her charisma and wit to be thought of when
her classmates and teachers hear the name Sarah
Tran.
I hope to leave behind the laughter and humor I
brought to my classmates through my in-class performances, my locas dance moves, and my duck
face, she said.
Sarah is sure to make the Wolfpack proud as she
begins the next chapter of her life at Brown University this fall. She will take with her the experiences
and memories had at CHS as she paves the way for a
bright future as an obstetrician-gynecologist.

Salutatorian to become a Blue Devil at Duke University
enior Vivian Luo has made the

dream of many a reality: to become
salutatorian of CHS. From working
hard in her many AP classes to competitive figure skating to being a member and
captain of the CHS dance teamnot to
mention many other extracurricular activitiesVivian has made the most out of her
four years at CHS.
With high school behind her, Vivian is very excited
to move on to the next step in her life: college at
Duke University in Durham, North Carolina.
Vivian has several fields that she is interested in
going into at Duke. Duke does not have their students
declare majors or minors until the end of sophomore
year, so Vivian is going to explore the fields she is interested in now before she has to commit to a major
and minor. When she toured and learned about the
university, she was most interested in going into their
pre-law program with a major in political science or
public policy. She is also interested in double majoring or minoring in neuroscience. She believes expertise in that field will help her further her knowledge of
the cognitive process if she goes into law, or it will
help her become a more well-rounded medical student if she decides to go into medical science.
While remaining second in her class, Vivian participated in many extracurricular activities around CHS
that made her well-known by many students on campus. At college, she plans to continue with speech in
forensics, would like to continue skating in college,
and is interested in joining many new groups when
she gets to school.
Vivian received many scholarships for college as a

forensics and figure skating throughout her high
school career.
result of her extracurricular activities, such as a scholarship from the National Figure Skating Association,
a Scholastic Honors Team Award, and scholarship
money from being a National Merit finalist.
Once seeing the schools that accepted her, Vivian
had a hard time deciding between two leading schools
in the US: Duke and UC Berkeley. Although the decision was tough, she knew that no matter what happened, she would find enjoyment in whatever school
she chose.
I knew I would be happy at both places. There is
always a little regret for the school you didnt choose,
but I know I will be happy where Im going, Vivian
said.
Vivian has many incredible memories from her
four years at CHS, but a point where she believes she
truly grew as a person was her freshman year on the
dance team under the instruction of Dance Coach
Lisa Germano. This was the year the team made it to
finals in two events at nationals, which had not happened in recent years. Vivian believes the time she
spent working with Ms. Germano shaped her high
school experience and affected many of her decisions
throughout school.
She pushed me beyond my limits. She really
taught me how to be a leader, and I learned a lot of
how I lead today from her example, Vivian said. I
am just very grateful that I was able to be one of her
students.
Along with being a member of the dance team for
three years at CHS, Vivian dedicated much of her
time to speech in forensics, National Honor Society
and CSF. She volunteered, met new people and made
lasting memories through participation with these different groups. One memory that stands out to her is
the Senior Citizen Prom the National Honor Society
recently held.
With her love of knowledge and growth at CHS,
Vivian has advice that is valuable to all CHS students.
Whether or not a person is planning on becoming
valedictorian or salutatorian, her advice resonates
with the value it has for all CHS students, no matter
what the future holds.
You have to know your priorities, Vivian said.
And sometimes that might mean taking away from
one aspect of your life, but know that your investment
that youre making right now is going to lead towards
a better future.
Vivian is on the fast track to success as CHS Class
of 2015 Salutatorian. But beyond her incredible work
in school, she has pushed herself in many sports and
activities that have made her a hardworking and dedicated person who is devoted not only to her studies,
but also to the world around her. Alexa Tispoulos

creativity and initiative? In the
case of incoming Claremont
High School senior Shea Seery, the answer is a startlingly professional literary
journal highlighting the writing, art and
photography of CHS students.
Anomaly is a glossy, full-color, nearly 50-page explosion of expression, giving readers a glimpse into
the hearts, minds and imaginations of local teens.
Shea, who has always had a passion for writing, got
her first chance to participate in a literary journal
when she attended The California State Summer
School of the Arts the summer after her freshman
year.
Over the course of the two-week program, which in
her case emphasized creative writing, she and her
peers put together a literary magazine. It wasnt a
state-of-the-art production, more of a zine, but it
whetted Sheas editorial appetite.
The next inspirational move was when she applied
and got accepted to the Idyllwild Arts Academy.
While she decided not to attend, she perused a copy
of the schools literary journal.
It blew my mind. It was a tangible production of
writing and art, all combined, she said. I liked it because there was an aesthetic aspect as well as a literary aspect.

Eleanor Pierson holds her copy of Foothill Country Day Schools class of 2015 yearbook on Friday during a retirement party for her at the school. Ms. Pierson is one
of the charter parents at the school and a 50-year employee.
Foothill Country Day bids farewell to longest-serving staff member

people died in the Watts riots, the

Eleanor Pierson reported for her first day
of work at Foothill Country Day School.
Last Friday, current staff, students and a few
members of the community came to honor Ms.
Piersons last day of work, a tenure that spanned 50
years.
With a giant bouquet of flowers on her lap Ms.
Pierson, 94, sat in a chair at the front of the assembly room while the students sang the schools theme
song and Head of School Mike Silva spoke of her
dedication and devotion to her job.
She held three jobs at FCDS: first she was assistant to the headmaster Howell Webb, next she
moved to admissions director and then toward the
end, became the community outreach coordinator.
As the outreach coordinator, her years of service
came in handy because she was able to pen handwritten personal notes to the alumni.
Claremont Mayor Corey Calaycay gave her an
official city commendation, a task he gladly accepted as he is among the schools alumni.
In his remarks, Mr. Calaycay stated that he only
barely qualified for admission but that Ms. Pierson
decided to accept him. I hope you feel that you
made the right call, he quipped.
Not many people work this long and even fewer

at the same place, he said. You of all people deserve this retirement.
Mr. Silvas comments focused not only on Ms.
Piersons years of service but also on the many lives
that she influenced. You have prepared so many
students for their next phase in life, he said. It has
been our honor and privilege to have served with
you.
Ms. Piersons son, Doug Pierson, came from Arizona for the party and to help his mother with the
transition. He said that Ms. Pierson believed in the
school so much that she enrolled him and his two
sisters there.
She grew up on a lemon ranch not far from the
north Claremont home where she still lives. She attended Claremont Elementary School, now
Sycamore, followed by Girls Collegiate and eventually Pomona College. Ms Pierson is also one of the
charter parents at FCDS, enrolling her daughter in
1954.
Following the assembly, a handful of former students stood in line to congratulate Ms. Pierson and
to thank her for the impact she had on them. Each
shared a personal story, with the commonality that
all seemed to agree Ms. Pierson made them feel important.
It apparently worked both ways, because as the
crowd slowly made their way to the nearby reception, Ms Pierson looked around and said, I loved
working here, I dont want to retire.
Claremont Mayor Corey Calaycay congratulates Ms.

Pierson during her retirement party. Ms. Pierson worked
for 50 years at the school performing a number of jobs,
including admissions director. During the party, the children sang and the Head of Schools Mike Silva gave a
heart-felt tribute to her many years of service. Mr. Calaycay is an alumnus of Foothill Country Day.

on June 10.
Athlete Michael Evans from the Pomona Valley Chapter of Special Olympics lead the charge, taking the torch
from Upland PD before passing it off to his fellow teammates and friends. Athletes Kenny Williams and Austin
Frederick, both from Claremont, had their moment carrying the torch, as did athletes Travis Ewert, Jimmy English and numerous runners from the Claremont police.
We look forward to joining the athletes every year
and participating in this run, said Claremont Captain
Shelly Vander Veen. Its great to see everyone come together as a department and as a community to support
the Special Olympics and their mission.
During the latter part of May and June, Law Enforcement officers throughout southern California carry the
torch 1,500 miles across the southland through 200 communities with the purpose of spreading awareness to the
Special Olympics and to promote unity and respect for
all. This year, Claremont police staff that participated in
the torch run raised $550 in donations to Special
Olympics.
The Claremont runners received the torch at Foothill

to the La Verne Police Department.

The Law Enforcement Torch Run is the kick-off of
what is sure to be an exciting summer here in Claremont
as the town prepares to welcome some of the finest athletes from around the world.
On January 27, the city council approved Claremonts

to the World Games to get acclimated, rest and train for
their events.

Wildfire training puts local firefighters to the test
Los Angeles Fire Chief Mike Inman communicates with

other leaders during fire training on Wednesday in the
Claremont Hills Wilderness Park. The operation involved
multiple agencies that had to coordinate their efforts to
best simulate a real fire situation.
ith summer right around the corner

and fire season now upon us, firefighters gathered at Claremont
Hills Wilderness Park earlier this week to participate in an annual training exercise designed to enhance their wildland firefighting
skills.
More than 60 men and women from Los Angeles
County Fire (LACF) and 10 surrounding cities including
Arcadia, Azusa, Claremont, Covina, La Verne, Monrovia,
Montclair and West Covinaas well as the US Forest
Service and the California Department of Corrections
participated in a three-day training drill, taking to the steep
hillsides to fight a simulated fire.
On Wednesday, LACF Chief Mike Inman briefed the
firefighters, explaining there would be no live fire during
the course of the incident drill and reiterating the objectives of the day.
The reason why we are here as evidenced by the patch
on your shoulder is to protect the residents of SoCal and,
today, the folks of Claremont, he said. Were going to use
simulated fire training to enhance our wildland firefighting
skills, our coordinated fire tactics and our communication
skills. The big thing we want to do is reinforce this process
and look at the risk management of what we do.

Team (CERT) in position, the firefighters were coordinated into teams and
sent in shifts for additional briefing.
LACF Battalion Chief Tom Sullivan
and LACF Camp 19 Superintendent
Curtis Wisman reviewed structure defense and the risk management process,
outlining what the firefighters could ex-
pect to find on the hill.

Fire is fueled by three things: fuel,
weather and topography, explained
Superintendent Wisman. Were going
to do some wet hose lays and well be
up in some hills utilizing appropriate
suppression tactics and strategies found
in the wildland tactical handout.
Firefighters did just that on Wednesday, spending the last hour of their incident drill working together to cut a fire
line on a hillside in the Padua Hills area

of the park. An LACF helicopter flew
above them, dropping 350-500 gallons of
water during the simulated wildfire that
was threatening nearby structures.
Although challenging, the firefighters ability to develop strong wildland
skills and communicate with their team
during a fire is a necessity for these
men and women who put their lives on
the line during the course of duty.
Its a valuable lesson that could save

their lives or the lives of those they are
trying to protect.
Its a great opportunity for multiple
agencies to all get together and communicate with one another, shared Chief
Sullivan. Its a good refresher for all of
the firefighters who will also get to
know the capability of the people
theyre working with. Angela Bailey

sons who have been killed in the conflict and then to
spend his retirement with his remaining family, including his only daughter Lavinia. However, his unwillingness to depart from the dictates of the law and show
compassion for a vanquished enemy incites the ire of
the defeated Queen of the Goths and initiates a vortex
of revenge that ultimately swallows them all.

eet Speedo, a senior dog

who makes the most of
every day.
Speedos story began 15 years ago when his

human, Upland resident Anissa Campbell, came
across him on a road trip somewhere between
Phoenix, Arizona and Los Angeles.
Anissa hit a Walmart, looking for a swimsuit, but
found so much more. When she left the store, someone was stationed at the exit with an eight-to-12week-old puppy in a box, looking for a forever
home for the canine cutie.
She lived in a fifth-floor apartment in Hollywood
where no pets were allowed, but Anissa took him
home. At first she fibbed and said she was just dogsitting, but it soon became clear he was a permanent
resident. Luckily, he was such a good dognever
making a nuisance with his barkingthat he became the apartment mascot. Anissa named the pup
Roscoe. But her friends insisted he should be called
Speedo, after the bathing suit brand, since it was a
swimsuit that brought them together.
After a year, human and dog moved to a new
apartment, this time to the Koreatown neighborhood of Los Angeles. There were fire escape stairs
right outside Anissas windows, leaving her vulnerable to a break-in by any criminal who could do a
pull-up. Having Speedo around made her feel safer.
I honestly think guardian angels sent him to me,
Anissa says. Speedo gave me the courage to keep
going. Later, he opened doors for different jobs. I
ended up managing a doggie daycare for a while.
Anissa and Speedo pulled up their roots twice
more, once to Eagle Rock and then La Verne, before
settling in Upland several years ago. Hes always
been a trooper, she said. Hes always adjusted and
did well as long as I was there.
Since acquiring Speedo, Anissa has gotten married and had two children. The dog is protective of
the entire family, which includes Anissas husband
Ryan, Nora, 9, and Andrew, 6. Given their history,
though, Anissas his favorite.
Over the years, there have been a few changes.
The first is that the Campbell family has gone from
considering Speedo your average mutt to knowing
more about his pedigree. Genetic testing shows hes
an unusual blend: half Shih Tzu and Dachshund mix
Sports
Word search
Baseball
Basketball
Diving
Football
Gymnastics
Hockey
Judo
Running
Skateboarding

Soccer
Tennis
Volleyball
Water polo
Wrestling
and half St. Bernard. Bring together two tiny dog

breeds and one of the largest and you get a 50pound pup.
Speedo has also aged quite a bit. His muzzle, the
fur around his wet doggie nose, is all white now.
Once he was known for performing tricks, from
rolling over and playing dead to giving people a
high-five with his paws.
Now he has arthritis, which causes pain in his
joints, so his tricks are fewer and his walks are
shorter. He cant get up on the bed anymore but he
can still get upstairs. He is happiest when hes resting near his beloved Anissa.
Hes also developed a bit of a grumpy old man
personality, breaking up fights between the family
cats, Buttons and Junior, and merely tolerating Juniors attempts to cuddle. And after a lifetime of
being a good boy, sometimes Speedo breaks a few
rules, figuring hes earned it. He now steals the occasional bit of food and has attempted to go on
walks all by his lonesome.
Doing some math, Anissa thinks her four-legged
friend was born in June. The family sang Happy
Birthday to him on June 1. A little later this month,
it is Anissas birthday. While the humans eat cake,
Speedo will be served his traditional cake molded
out of tuna fish.
Dogs Speedos size normally live to be 12 or 13,
so the Campbells know he wont be around forever.
They make sure to give him lots of hugs and kisses
so he knows just how special he is.

The sport of surfing: A little history

ncient Hawaiians perfected the
art of surfing. Hawaiian chants
going back as far as the 1400s
talk about their favorite pastime, heenalu, or riding the waves.
Both men and women enjoyed surfing, but there

were some rules. Common people could have surfboards up to 12 feet, while members of the alii or
ruling class could ride a board as long as 24 feet. If
an ordinary person was found riding a chiefs board,
called an olo, they could be killed. Chiefs often
hogged the best beaches for themselves, declaring
them kapu or off-limits to commoners.
Surfing was a big part of Hawaiian culture.
Priests called kahunas sang chants to baptize new
surfboards, ask for big waves and help riders be
brave. In winter, when the waves were biggest, islanders gathered to feast, dance and surf, betting
on the competitions.
The first Europeans to see the water sport were
amazed. Lieutenant James King was a member of
James Cooks crew exploring the Hawaiian islands.
After islanders killed Captain Cook in 1779, Lieutenant King was asked to finish his journals.
Whenever the surf is increased to its utmost
height, 20 or 30 of the natives, taking each a long
narrow board, rounded at the ends, set out together
from shore, he wrote. Their first object is to place
themselves on the summit of the largest surge, by
which they are driven along with amazing rapidity
toward the shore. The boldness and address, with
which we saw them perform these difficult and dangerous maneuvers was altogether astonishing.
After Captain Cooks A Voyage to the Pacific
Ocean was published, many curious Europeans and
Americans, known to Hawaiians as haole, came to
the islands. Some were missionaries, looking to replace the ancient Hawaiian religion with Christianity. They made rules against things like singing and
games, discouraging surfing.
In 1898, the United States declared Hawaii an
American territory. By this time, the sport had almost
died out. But around 1900, people near Waikiki
beach started surfing. These included haole residents
and tourists eager for excitement and native Hawaiians ready to reclaim their heritage.
In 1959, Hawaii became the 50th state. With the
help of a TV show about a surfer girl called Gidget,
music like The Beach Boys 1962 hit Surfin Safari
and a documentary about 1966 globe-trotting surfers
called Endless Sumer, surfing became a craze and
is still popular today.
Would you like to try your hand at surfing, hanging
ten off a board while sped along by a crashing wave?

My basketball shoes have been through difficult times.

Ive experienced failure with my shoes.
We tried out for the school team, it was a tough climb.
We got in and I thought that we could never lose.
Preseason was the toughest time of my life.
We practiced hard and experienced discipline.
All the running and push-ups caused a lot of strife.
But with all this training, I was certain we would win.
Basketball was my life, I was in my prime.
But all of a sudden, I was cut from the team.
My shoes and I went through a hard time.
But sooner or later, we will live our dream.
Devastated from my failure, I never wore my shoes.
Getting cut from the team left me broken.
My shoes were neglected in their constant disuse.
I wondered how I would ever be unbroken.
Until, one day, I had a change of heart.
I thought that my best option was to have my head
held high.
I stood up and wore my other part.
My other part and I kissed our failure goodbye.
Being disappointed in myself was a wrongful crime.
After regaining my composure, I regained my self-esteem.
My other part being my shoes, we decided to train.
We practiced and conditioned, hoping to improve.
Intense training every day caused us pain.
But our pain didnt matter; we had something to prove.
Weve been practicing a lot, getting ready for next year.
Hoping to make the team in the fall of 2015.
Improving my skills so that we would be all clear.
Practicing every day, making it a routine.
We will continue to train for that one time.
At the tryouts we will play well so that we can redeem.

of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust
recorded on September 28, 2007, as Instrument
No. 20072238202, of official records in the Office of the Recorder of Los Angeles County, California, executed by SATINDERJIT SINGH
CHADHA, A MARRIED MAN AS HIS SOLE
AND SEPARATE PROPERTY, as Trustor(s), in
favor of WASHINGTON MUTUAL BANK, FA
as Beneficiary, 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: 840
MEADOW PASS ROAD, WALNUT, CA 91789
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 Trustees Sale is
estimated to be $2,000,994.10 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and
advances will increase this figure prior to sale.
Beneficiarys bid at said sale may include all or
part of said amount. In addition 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 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 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 property receiver, if applicable.
If the Trustee is unable 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 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 In Source Logic at

POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering
bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a
trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not
on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a
trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to
free and clear ownership of the property. You
should also be aware that the lien being auctioned
off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible
for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the
property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority and size of outstanding liens that
may exist on this property by contacting the county
recorders office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you
should be aware that the same lender may hold
more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the
property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The
sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section
2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the
public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.
If you wish to learn whether your sale date has
been postponed, and if applicable, the rescheduled
time and date for the sale of this property, you may
call 877-484-9942 or visit this Internet Web site
www.USA-Foreclosure.com or www.Auction.com
using the file number assigned to this case
7037.105217. Information about postponements
that are very short in duration or that occur close in
time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be
reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF CLAREMONT, AMENDING CHAPTER 8.30 OF THE CLAREMONT
MUNICIPAL CODE ELIMINATING LIMITATIONS ON FILLING ORNAMENTAL LAKES,
PONDS, RESIDENTIAL SWIMMING POOLS,
AND SPAS FROM THE WATER CONSERVATION AND WATER SUPPLY SHORTAGE
PROGRAM AND REGULATIONS
WHEREAS, on July 28, 2009, the City adopted Ordinance No. 2009-10 establishing a water conservation and water supply shortage program and
regulations; and
WHEREAS, on April 1, 2015, Governor Jerry
Brown issued an Executive Order mandating several water conservation measures including restrictions to achieve a Statewide 25% reduction in use of
potable urban water; and
WHEREAS, on April 23, 2015, the City Manager
declared a level 2 water supply shortage condition,
pursuant to Claremont Municipal Code Section
8.30.060, promoting water conservation through a
variety of restrictions on the use of water including
the filling of ornamental lakes, ponds, residential
swimming pools and spas; and
WHEREAS, on April 28, 2015, the City Council
affirmed the City Managers declaration of a Level
2 water supply shortage condition by adopting Resolution 2015-18; and
WHEREAS, research has shown that swimming
pools, once full, use significantly less water than traditional turf landscaping on a per square foot basis;
and
WHEREAS, ornamental lakes and ponds use similar amounts of water per square foot of swimming
pools; and
WHEREAS, the Governors Executive Order does
not place any restrictions on the filling of swimming
pools, ornamental lakes or ponds; and
WHEREAS, on May 26, 2015, the City Council of
the City of Claremont held a duly noticed public
hearing at which time all persons wishing to testify
in connection with this Ordinance were heard; and

the City Council determined that this Ordinance is in
the best interest of the City; and
WHEREAS, the adoption of this Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) pursuant to Section 15031 of the CEQA
Guidelines in that the Ordinance would only allow
the continued use of swimming pools and ornamental lakes and ponds, and is also exempt pursuant to
Sections 15307 and 15308, in that the Ordinance is
a regulatory action being taken to protect natural resources and the environment by removing existing
regulations that could encourage the removal of
pools, lakes, and ponds and their replacement with
less-water efficient (in terms of water per square
foot) features such as landscaping and vegetation.

3. Limits on Filling Ornamental Lakes or Ponds:
Filling or re-filling ornamental lakes or ponds is pro-
29

5. Limits on Filling Residential Swimming Pools
& Spas: Re-filling of more than one foot and initial
filling of residential swimming pools or outdoor spas
with potable water is prohibited.
SECTION 2. The mayor shall sign this ordinance

NOTICE OF HEARING ON AMENDED
RESOLUTIONS
OF NECESSITY FOR ACQUISITION OF
CLAREMONT DISTRICT WATER SYSTEM
On behalf of the City Council of the City of
Claremont and pursuant to Section 1245.235 of
the California Code of Civil Procedure, you are
hereby notified that at a regular meeting to be
held on Tuesday, June 23, 2015, at 7:00 p.m., at
the Claremont City Hall, Council Chambers, located at 225 West Second Street, Claremont,
California 91711, the City Council of the City
of Claremont intends to consider adopting
amended resolutions of necessity for the taking
by eminent domain of Golden State Water Companys Claremont District Water System (Claremont Water System), and authorizing the filing
BRE# 01326104 & 01733616
of an amended complaint in the ongoing eminent domain action. The project for which the
amended resolutions of necessity will be considered is for public ownership, operation and
maintenance of the Claremont Water System to
provide water service to the public.
At the hearing you have the right to appear and
be heard on the following matters:
1.
Whether the public interest and necessity require the project for which the property is sought to be acquired;
2.
Whether the project is planned or
located in the manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public good and least private injury;
3.
Whether the property sought to be
acquired and described in the amended resolu-
909.621.4761
tions of necessity is necessary for the project;

4.
Whether the offer required by Section 7267.2 of the California Government Code
has been made; and,
5.
Whether the public use for which
the property sought to be acquired and described in the amended resolutions of necessity
is a more necessary public use than the use to
which the property is appropriated.
At the hearing, you may object to the adoption
of the amended resolutions of necessity, including as to whether the conditions stated in California Code of Civil Procedure sections
1240.030 and 1240.610 have been met, and as
to whether the offer required by California Government Code section 7267.2 has been provided
to the owner or owners of record of the real
property. The amount of compensation to be

paid will not be an issue at the hearing.
Pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure
section 1245.235(b)(3), your failure to file a
written request with the City to appear and be
heard on the proposed amended resolutions of
necessity within 15 days from the date that this
Notice is mailed may result in the waiver of
your right to appear and be heard on the abovestated matters. A written request to appear and
be heard may be filed as follows:
ALL COMMUNICATIONS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO:

I can't say enough about Mason's easy-going professionalism. I have

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

The Claremont real estate market was busy in May, but not excessively so. Toward the end of the
month, it was evident that homes were starting to sit a little longer than they had back in April. The
inventory in Claremont shot up significantly in the past 30 days, as well. While hovering in the 60s
throughout April, housing inventory had a bump into the 80s during May and, as I write this, we
stand at 91 active homes on the market. This may sound like a lot when compared to low 60s, but
this is quite normal for the time of the year. Inventory will usually hit the low 100s during the summer months before dropping again in the fall.
