Dear Editor:
Pomona College has an endowment of
over $2 billion, and can buy whatever it
wants. It risks losing the good will of the
Claremont community if it muscles another oversized building on to the edge of
the Village. South campus on First Street
is better suited for the colleges architectural ambitions, especially in light of its
transportation advantages.
If Pomonas commitment to sustainability is anything more than windowdressing it will think twice before
demolishing serviceable buildings.

Claremont
City of Dollar Trees and PhDs?

Dear Editor:
A tenant has finally been lured to the
long-vacant Pepper Tree Square, but I was
disappointed to learn from last weeks
COURIER that the new anchor is a Dollar Tree store.
Dollar Tree is a chain store of the sort
that Claremont has generally eschewed,
with no roots in or commitment to the
community. Dollar Tree has also recently
come under fire for its poor labor practices.
According to Huffington Post, the
stingy payroll required by the dollar store
business model leaves many employees
overworked, underpaid and even injured,
according to workers and litigation filed
over labor practices.
Dollar Tree is currently trying to fend
off a Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
class action case involving 4,000 to 6,000
current and former employees. The lawsuit
alleges that Dollar Tree required or permitted its hourly associates and assistant
store managers to work off the clock and
overtime without compensation.

Part of the problem is that Dollar Tree
stores appeal to the absolute bottom of the
consumer market. According to Business
Insider, 40 percent of Dollar Trees shoppers have a household income of less than
$25,000 (only slightly higher than the
poverty level for a family of four), and the
average Dollar Tree household has an annual income of just under $45,000
(roughly half Claremonts median household income), and spends just $11 per visit
to the store.
Who exactly is going to shop at this
Dollar Tree, and how long is it going to last
when the 99 Cents Only store that used to
be in that location couldnt make it?
The sad truth is that Dollar Tree is at the
leading edge of a deplorable trend in
America, as national mass market chain
stores race to the bottom of the market by
paying workers less in order to cut costs so
that they can sell cheap goods at razor thin
margins. Its sad to see Claremont jumping on that bandwagon. But this is what
happens when land is bought up by foreign
investors who live thousands of miles
away (in this case someone from China),
and when business decisions are made by
drawing circles around locations on a map
to see whether there is a match between the
business model and the surrounding population.
Instead of bringing to town a business
that makes Claremont less unique and
more like its neighbor to the south, it
would have been nice to see a commercial
establishment that aligns more closely with
the special character of this community.

Trial date set for city, Golden State eminent domain case
he citys fight for ownership of the local water

system took another
step forward last week, with a
trial date set for spring 2016.
Attorneys for the city of Claremont

and Golden State Water Company appeared in court on August 27 for a case
management hearing and were given the
green light to move forward with the
eminent domain case.
We requested a trial date on the condemnation and the judge granted it, explained Best, Best & Kreiger attorney
Ken MacVey, representing the city of
Claremont. Its full-steam ahead from
this point.
A final status conference is scheduled

for February 26, 2016, with trial to follow on March 7, 2016.
The city first filed its 43-page eminent
domain complaint against the water
giant in Los Angeles Superior Court on
December 9. An amended complaint
was filed June 27, as ordered by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Richard
Fruin on April 30.
Golden State Water sought to dismiss
the case, stating that the property description and the citys pre-litigation
offer to purchase the water system were
inadequate. Judge Fruin gave the city 60
days to re-file its amended complaint
following the water companys request
for dismissal.
Before the New Year begins, attorneys
will once again appear in court on October 15 for a scheduled status conference.
Until then, legal counsel for both Claremont and Golden State Water will proceed with discovery in preparation for
their impending trial.
As of mid-July, the city has spent
about $2.2 million on issues related to
the Claremont water system acquisition.
Claremont City Council appropriated an
additional $1 million from the water system acquisition reserve fund on July 14
for expenses related to the case. The
funds, allocated from the 2013-14 General Fund Surplus, were set aside by
council in October 2014 to address
water-related expenses, including additional legal and expert consultant fees.
The Claremont water system serves
the entire city of Claremont and small

areas within the cities of Pomona, Montclair and Upland as well as unincorporated Los Angeles County.
On November 4, 2014, 71 percent of
Claremont voters approved the issuance
of revenue bonds to finance the purchase
of the system, despite Golden States
declaration that the system was not for
sale. Shortly thereafter, the Claremont
City Council determined that acquisition
of the water system is in the publics best
interest and unanimously approved two
resolutions of necessity, laying the
groundwork for the potential acquisition.

Volunteers, city to address drought-stressed trees
s the old saying goes, a friend in

need is a friend indeed. And when
the city recently called for volunteers to join its tree outreach program,
there was no shortage of residents ready
to lend a hand.
City officials met at the Hughes Center Tuesday
night to launch the Claremont Tree Outreach program,
asking the 50 or so people gathered in the aptly-named
Grove Room to take a few days this week to begin a
door-to-door endeavor alerting Claremonters that their
city tree is on the critical list.
City staffwho have dubbed the undertaking case
management for our treesare providing more than
just lip service with this latest effort. Theyve purchased about 600 water bags and soaker hoses combined to make it as easy as possible for the community
to care for its city trees.
Weve sent out official notices, which people have
ignored, said Tony Ramos, Claremont city manager.
Some folks just arent understanding the need here.
As the first step in implementation of the mandatory
watering of city trees by homeowners, city staff has recruited as many as 35 volunteers to act as care managers for Claremonts stressed urban forest. The first
stage aims to address 101 trees deemed critical by
the city arborist. Volunteers are armed with a tree toolbox, which includes either a 25-foot soaker hose or a
water bag, like those used by the city to water parched
trees in the Village merchant area.
We dont want to debate or argue with residents,
said Paul Cranmer, Claremonts arborist and community services manager. We just want to make it as
easy as possible for people to water city trees in the
parkways.
Mr. Cranmer went through the door-to-door process
step-by-step. A variety of scenarios were addressed,
from approaching unwilling residents to those who
dont speak English to disabled or senior residents
who may not be watering because of a physical limitation.
Volunteers will report to the city after meeting with
residents to detail exchanges and, if the resident accepts the tree toolbox, to follow up in seven days and
do a soil-check.
Interim Community Services Director Pat Malloy
said that of the 688 trees deemed stressed last September, 489 have recovered because of the efforts made
by the city through proper assessment and initiating
use of the water bags. With 101 city trees currently
deemed critical and 533 identified as severe, Mr. Malloy explained that more would be done to address the

Paul Cranmer, community services manager and staff arborist, reviews the contents of toolboxes on Tuesday during a drought-stressed tree outreach meeting at the Hughes Center. City officials called the meeting
to recruit volunteers to contact homeowners who have street trees that are critically stressed and in danger
of dying.
good health of Claremonts trees. The city will ask the

council to do a park tree assessment as well, he said, to
identify and make action plans for any droughtstressed trees.
At the Tuesday, September 8 council meeting, city
staff will present findings from several tree assessments done over the last year. The report will include a
final tally of critical and stressed trees, as well as actions needed to keep Claremonts leafscape thriving.
In addition to the soaker hose or water bag, the tree
toolbox includes instructions on how to adequately
water critical trees. Once a week for four hours is recommended for the soaker hose and filling the water
bag once a week is enough water to rescue a tree, according to the citys arborist. Mr. Cranmer said
whether residents will be given a bag or hose depends
on the level of stress and kind of tree.
After a four-hour slow drip, the 25-foot soaker hose
will water 12 inches below the surface, if the hose is
properly placed at the trees roots ends located at the

outside of the canopy. The bag, which holds 15 gallons
of water, will provide deep watering as the water trickles for about a two-hour duration. The city estimates it
will cost residents a couple of dollars a month on their
water bill to revive a stressed tree.
For three-year Claremont resident John Bradley,
who left the meeting with five toolboxes, offering to
help with the door-to-door campaign was a pretty simple decision.
We have a tree thats a little sad-looking. So, wed
like to help it, he said, adding, and the other trees,
too.
Volunteers will report back to the city by Tuesday,
September 8 with information on the first 101 trees.
Next week, more volunteers will receive toolboxes to
visit 535 homes with severe city trees. Those results
will be returned to the city by September 28. Until

then, the city manager explained that watering in city parks

will be increased to three times a week.
He recognizes the need to be compliant with the governors water reduction proclamation. But considering the
town boasts the moniker City of Trees and holds a 30year designation as a Tree City USA, staff and volunteers
have no plans to ignore the issue.
We love our trees. This is who we are, Mr. Ramos said.

A Claremont resident with a keen
eye alerted police to a suspicious car in
the area that resulted in the arrest of its
occupants. A white Jaguar devoid of license plates was spotted driving near
Hollins Avenue and Lamonette Street at
approximately 10:25 a.m. Officers located the car, conducted a traffic stop
and, following a consent search of the
vehicle, arrested the driver, Pomona
resident Carol Frost, and her passenger,
Timothy Sloat of Claremont. The 51year-old woman was arrested for an
outstanding warrant while Mr. Sloat
was found to be in possession of drug
paraphernalia and booked for the offense.

Claremont officers responded to a location north of the city maintenance
yard at Mt. Baldy and Padua Avenue
after receiving a call of an abandoned
vehicle. Upon their arrival, police discovered a 97 black Ford Mustang
badly damaged by some sort of chemical, possibly acid. A records check revealed the car had been reported stolen
out of Upland. The investigation remains ongoing.

EDUCATION
New principal dons Viking helmet, brings experience to Vista
hile new Vista del

Valle principal Brad
Cuff has a full plate
getting up to speed, theres one
thing he doesnt have to worry
about: the commute.
Mr. Cuff, a longtime Claremonter,
only has to drive about five minutes to
get to his job. His roots run deepat
Vista, at the Claremont Unified School
District and in the community at large.
His story started a bit further north.
Mr. Cuff was born in Montana and was
raised in a tiny town called Deer
Lodge, which boasted a population of
only 5,000. When he was 17, his family
moved to California, settling in Montclair.
Mr. Cuff didnt get the typical school
administrators start. He wasnt terribly
enthusiastic about school when he was
younger and, on graduating from high
school, he entered the workforce.
He spent some time working in the
food and retail industries and married
his wife Sharon, a Claremont High
School graduate, when they were quite
young. The couple moved to Washington state where they welcomed two
children and bought a house before deciding they wanted to go to college.
They moved back to California and
Mr. Cuff attended Riverside Community College and UC Riverside. He
began a long foray into education and
taught fifth and sixth grades at Vista
from 1993 to 1999, which at the time
was under the leadership of then-principal Lea Yeager.
After leaving Vista, he again headed
north, albeit only slightly. He got an
offer to teach junior high at Mt. Baldy
School, with his students ranging from
sixth through eighth graders. Being a
science and nature buff, he couldnt resist the chance to try his hand at a
school with a pond and a majestic
mountain view just outside the classroom.
Ive never been in a classroom that

Claremont Unified School District has hired longtime Claremont resident Brad Cuff to be the new principal at Vista del Valle.
Mr. Cuff replaces Dave Stewart who took a new job as executive director of professional development for the Capistrano
school district.
had its own fireplace, he said. The

kids would come in and say, can I light
the fireplace? And Id say, you know
where the matches are.
During his time at Baldy, Mr. Cuff
threw himself into the job. One of his
especially creative endeavors even
made it into the 2011 book, The Instructional Leader and the Brain: Using
Neuroscience to Inform Practice, as an
example of Authenticity in the Classroom.
I once watched as a group of seventh graders from Brad Cuffs history
class in Mt. Baldy, California created a
dig for third and fourth graders after
creating their own civilization, complete with an economy, a political system, religion, and so forth, author
Margaret Glick wrote. Engagement
during this process was off the charts.
Mr. Cuff next moved to the Upland
Unified School District, where he spent
nine years as an administrator at the elementary, junior high and high school
levels. His most recent post was principal of Monte Vista Elementary School
in the Mt. View District.
Mr. Cuff wasnt actively looking for
a new job. However, when it came to
light toward the end of the school year
that Vista principal Dave Stewart was
leaving, he couldnt resist the opportunity to lead the team at a school he
loves and in the place he lives.
Mr. Cuff emphasized how much he
enjoyed his first tenure at Vista. It was
one of those situations where you find a
place that feels really good, he said.
It feels like home.
It should be noted that his kids,
Brandon and Brittanythe latter of

whom is a math teacher at Claremont
High Schoolalso attended Vista. It
makes for a full-circle experience that
gives true meaning to the schools
motto, Once a Viking, always a
Viking.
r. Cuff has two main

priorities as he embarks on his new
job. He plans to throw his support behind the programs already in effect at the school.
The AVID college-readiness
program, which this year will
be offered to all students beginning in third grade, is one
of these. I think its great, he
said. Theres a lot of research
behind AVID that shows its
long-term success.
Project Championa running program initiated by Mr. Stewart in conjunction with The Brian Clay
Foundationwill likely no longer be in
effect because the schools participation
was anchored in the former principals
friendship with the Olympian. However, Vista will still have a 100-mile
club encouraging kids to get fit while
striving for rewards such as T-shirts and
medals.
Mr. Cuff will also have another focus
right off the bat: Cultivating strong relationships with his staff, the students
and Vista families.
Mr. Cuff has spent most of his adult

life in education and, nowadays, most
of his reading revolves around teaching
and school leadership. He does, however, occasionally turn his attention to
other matters. These include spending
time with his family, especially his onemonth-old grandson, who recently
made him a first-time grandpa. He also
enjoys woodworking in his garage
workshop. Two wooden clocks hes
made over the years grace his Vista office.
Theres another cool conversation
piece in Mr. Cuffs new digs. Two pictures sit side-by-side in a frame, both
featuring the school bus his paternal
grandfather used to drive. His mom
grew up in Minnesota, and her dad
used to pick up a group of kids each
morning via a horse-drawn wagon.
In the winter, the wheels were removed and runners were installed to
help the wagon glide through the snow.
During the bitter winters, the passengers feet were kept warm via hot coals
placed in a metal box in the wagons
floorboards.
Mr. Cuff is clearly fond of history,
but hes also embracing his future as
one of CUSDs newest administrators.
Needless to say, Mr. Cuff is a fan of the
local elementary school.
Vista has always met the needs of
the community it serves. That was a
focus of Leas, and it has continued,
he said.

Waiting for something monumental to happen

by John Pixley
t makes sense. I was explaining to a

couple friends that there were lots of
students in town, being dropped off
by parents and moving into the dorms
with computers and swivel chairs and an
extra pair of bed sheets bought at the local
Target, even though classes at the Colleges wouldnt start for a week or so.
I actually wasnt sure what day classes were starting,
but I knew it was time for the freshmen to start orientation. It was getting to be late August, after all, and
classes usually start shortly before or around Labor Day.
According to what I have heard and read in past
years, I told my friends, the students spend about a
week at orientation. It is more than taking assessment
tests and getting to know the campus. The students also
go on camping trips, do service projects, and even read
a book together (last year, the book at Pomona College
was Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie). It is
a total immersion thing, so that the students have a
bond, or at least know each other to some extent, by the
time classes get underway.
My friends agreed that this is a good idea, that it
makes sense. That way, one of them commented, the
freshmen can concentrate on their classes once they
start, instead of also worrying about trying to fit in and
get along with each other, much less making friends.
At least, thats the theory. No doubt the freshmen and
also the rest of the students will take most of the rest of
the school year figuring out the social thing, perhaps
spending considerable time and energy stressing over it.
And the orientation week, with being thrown into social
situations and having to get along, no doubt wasnt easy
for some (it certainly wasnt easy for me, as shy and
awkward as I was, even with the orientation at UC
Riverside being much shorter and less intense).
Then theres the fact that the colleges start classes before or around Labor Day, not to mention the Claremont schools starting more than a week before Labor
Day, during one of the hottest few days of the summer.
Although this has been the case for several years and
much longer at the longer at the colleges, I still cant
get used to itnot when I grew up with school starting
after Labor Day. And school starting in early August,
in the dead of summer, in Pomona and Montclair is
something I may never get my head around. It is all the
weirderschool started even earlierwith Labor Day
observer
coming so late this year.
So even though its late, with school well underway,
there is still Labor Day coming up, and I still have two
camping trips lined up. No, summer isnt over, no matter what the school bells bode.
And if those freshmen did go camping during their
orientation week, where did they go? Im wondering.
Ive been going camping mostly up the coast, north of
Santa Barbarathe Central Coast. I am going to try a
place near Lake Arrowhead, but otherwise, Im going a
few hours away.
I dont want to go any further; these camping trips
are supposed to be short, inexpensive getaways. It
would be great if there were nice places to camp in the
shady, cool mountains that are near ussay, up on Mt.
Baldy, not far from the village there, or along the creek
above Azusa. Unfortunately, there arent, or at least
there arent places that look attractive for camping.
Or for anything, really. I used to enjoy going on the
easy, paved trail along the creek in the mountains above
Azusa, but I got tired of seeing all the graffiti on the
rocks and trees and the junk floating and stuck in the
creek, not to mention people doing their wash there. (I
also went during the week, which got to be difficult, because I heard that it was so crazy there on the weekend.)
From what I saw in a recent article in the Los Angeles
Times, things arent much better now. On the front page,
there was a picture of plastic bottles floating in a stream
and another of a sign all but obscured by tagging.
Such is the case nearly a year after President Obama
designated the mountain range from Rancho Cucamonga to Santa Clarita. As Abby McCrea, a 34-year-old
marriage and family therapist who rides her bike in the
mountains at least once a month, is quoted as querying,
New monument? Where is it? Indeed, the article by
Louis Sahagun, which opens with descriptions of
overflowing trash cans, broken marijuana pipes, graffiti and roadkill in the area, along with broken beer
bottles and other blight...present in abundance, is headlined, In the San Gabriel Mountains, theyre asking:
What monument?
Have you seen any National Football League

scouts hanging around checking us out?
Activists and elected officials who lobbied for the

monument status are concerned that when Obama
signed the declaration last October under the Antiquities
Act, it was just window dressing, largely a ceremonial
act, as Tim Brick, managing director of the nonprofit
Arroyo Seco Foundation, put it. There is disappointment that there is no new federal money allocated for
the mountains and that the US Forest Service doesnt
plan to change the way it manages the 346,000-acre
wilderness.
Jeffrey Vail, the monuments superintendent, counsels patience. He said that although the monument
doesnt have its own budget, he has secured $3 million
from other federal sources to help pay for California
Conservation Corps work crews and to hire additional
staff, including half a dozen field ambassadors to patrol tourist hot spots.
Sometimes theres a misperception in terms of how
long it takes before a new national monument can be
fully formed, Vail said. We need to be somewhat realistic about creating a management plan that is in line
with contributions.
The same advice is given by Daniel Rossman, senior
representative for California at the Wilderness Society,
pointing out that Obama gave the Forest Service three
years to come up with a management plan for the monument and that only the first round of public comment
is complete. This means there is still time for the Forest Service to listen to the many voices calling for a better management plan, one that includes cleanup of trash
and graffiti, improves trails and offers education programs.
Why belittle the great achievement of permanent
protection, won less than a year ago when our backyard
mountain range became a national monument? Rossman admonished in his letter.
Heres hoping that he and Vail are right and that the
government critics and Tea Party types, with their crying out about unfunded mandates and not treading, are
wrong and that the San Gabriel Mountains National
Monument is more than window dressing, more than
a sign on the highway. Lets look forward to being able,
after making our concerns known, to enjoy a cleaner
and safer wilderness, not only to cool off in the summer
but any time we want a pleasant, quick getaway, in another couple years.
Meanwhile, with classes well underway in Claremont, including at the Colleges, there may well be
something monumental happening here in the coming
months.
Water-wise Claremont
Dear Editor:
Congratulations, Claremont! The latest statistics show that our cumulative
water consumption from June 2015
through July 2015 is down 45 percent
compared to the same time period in
2013. Collectively, we are all doing our
respective parts in a big way to conserve
water during this severe drought.
That said, many of the trees in our
community have been severely stressed
by the drought and the changes in our
watering habits. Some have died.
It is undeniable that our trees are very
much a part of the heritage and character
of our community. A few have questioned the wisdom of having some of the
species of and number of trees that we
do in the arid climate in which we live.
The fact is that many of these trees have
been in our community for decades. The
oak and sycamore trees are actually native to southern California.
Short of this extreme period of
drought, these trees have weathered the
local climate for years and have served
us well in shading our community, filtering the air, and providing the aesthetic
charm that they do. Trees add to the market value of our properties, and if one
were to purchase and transplant a mature
tree, the cost to do so is in the tens of
thousands of dollars. It is a wise and
sound investment to maintain and preserve the mature trees that we have.
We have many experts in the community, including volunteers from Sustainable Claremont Tree Action Group and
Claremont Heritage, who are working
hard to educate our residents as to how
they can water and maintain their trees
without a significant increase in their
water usage.
I implore all of our residents to educate themselves on this topic and invest
the same amount of effort that they have
in water conservation to help us maintain
and preserve our trees in Claremont. I
make this appeal to you humbly and out

of love and concern for the city that we
have all chosen to call our home.

Chess in Claremont
Dear Editor:
The Joslyn Senior Center regularly announces its ongoing activities in the
COURIER, one of which is chess on
Wednesday afternoons at 1 p.m. However, for the past couple of years only two
of us have shown up regularly to play. We
certainly would welcome newcomers for
more variety and competition. R. Haas

Donald Trumps side show
Dear Editor:
I realize that in a sophisticated city
such as Claremont, there are unlikely to
be many Donald Trump supporters.
However, in order that we recognize
what is at stake in his popularity among
Republican voters, it is necessary to
make a public comment.
Trump is not funny. Oh, yes, he is a
buffoon, but being a buffoon has not prevented others elsewhere from being
elected to high public office. It is impossible to tell at this point whether, if
Trump were president, he would more
resemble Mussolini or Berlusconi. In either case, as both were disasters (for Italy
surely but for the world also), so would
Trump be both for us and for the world.
He is a racist, a misogynist (women
are acceptable only as arm candy), and
someone who has no vision about this
country and its place in the world. Those
who positively respond to him are a
species of nihilist: destruction of what
America has grown to be is their aim.
They want a country and a world in
which they can feel superior. Trump has
mastered the art of speaking to those

with that kind of disaffection.
The rest of us must strongly resist.
Dont laughcry that there are so many
of our fellow citizens who respond to
demagoguery.
Merrill Ring
Claremont
Claremont, City of Trees
Dear Editor:
If you go to Google Earth and start
navigating to a point over southern California, something very interesting happens. Claremont is easy to locate from
quite a distance because it is greener than
any of the communities surrounding it.
Closing in on the image of our fair city,
the reason becomes apparent: mature
trees. Parks and playing fields aside, the
trees of Claremont distinguish us from
our neighbors even from space.
As more and more turf areas throughout southern California are replaced with
decomposed granite and gravel, I wonder about the potential consequences
from increased heat-island effects.
Decreased humidity and fewer insulating turf surfacesall the more reason
for each of us to pay close attention to
the condition of our shade-providing
trees this summer and going forward.
They are an irreplaceable asset well beyond the value they add to any one persons property.

Planned Parenthood
Dear Editor:
On August 22, I, along with six other
elderly Claremont residents, participated
in a counter-protest in Pomona against

those who wish to dismantle Planned
Parenthood and stop the important, livesaving reproductive health services they
provide to women and men.
Although we were outnumbered by
50:1, our presence was significant and
noticed. The coalition of anti-choice
forces who are leading the latest assault
against Planned Parenthood are calling
for 40 days of uninterrupted protests.
They claim that Planned Parenthood engages in the selling of fetal body parts for
profit; that abortions constitute 97 percent
of their service operations; and that the
organization is nothing short of a charnel
house used for the torture and killing of
innocent babies. All of this has been
demonstrated to be completely false by
the findings of six state legislative bodies
and the New England Journal of Medicine.
Nonetheless, they persist in their
claims and will not be satisfied until
Planned Parenthood is destroyed. Voices
in opposition to those wishing to annihilate planned parenthood are needed.

Tree trouble
Dear Editor:
I received in the mail a flier that explained the best ways to keep our trees
alive and how to keep watering.
On my property, we have 27 trees that
are between 20 and 100 feet tall, and
many more smaller ones. Without extra
allocation of water, there is no way I can
keep them all alive. Youre damned if
you do and youre damned if you dont.

Wilderness Park Master Plan
[Editors note: The following letter was

sent to the Claremont City Council and
City Manager, with a copy forwarded for
publication. KD]
Dear Editor:
The League of Women Voters of the
Claremont Area has a long history of
supporting the protection and preservation of our local hillsides. It was with
great interest that a committee of our
local League studied the draft of the
Wildness Park Master Plan. After several
weeks of review, we offer the following
recommendations:
1. More attention must be given to
water and its conservation. The watershed
must be conserved and protected for the
benefit of the whole San Gabriel Valley.
2. Preservation of the hillsides and
their natural resources must be a main
priority. Claremont must take primary responsibility for planning, management,
protection and policing, and for acquisition of additional areas in the hillsides
around the park. The park is a regional
resource, so working with federal, state
and county agencies is appropriate and
beneficial.
3. The management of the Wilderness
Park must be coordinated with the longrange sustainability goals of the city, so
acquisition choices, funding sources,
rules for public usage, maintenance responsibilities, volunteer development
plans and options for governance must
be left open with no limitation on options
such as the use of general fund monies.
4, There must be careful, thorough,
well-informed and ongoing oversight of
the hillsides. Management will require a
new city committee with status, a routine
meeting schedule and a carefully balanced, knowledgeable membership selected from the whole community.
5. The parking situation dominated this
report and its solution is still elusive. Options must avoid privatizing public roads.
Requiring parking permits for public
streets is not the answer and sets a dan-
READERS COMMENTS
gerous precedent. Will parking be restricted around all schools, churches,
parks and public spaces for fear that noise,
congestion and possible property damage
might occur in surrounding neighborhoods? One option might include making
parking free, while charging an admission
fee to help maintain the park.
6. The League strongly supports the
wise use of public funds. Spending
$10,000 on a minor name change is not
a wise choice.
As you may know, the League makes
recommendations and takes action based
on positions formed after thorough study
and membership consensus.

Whats in a Name?
Dear Editor:
America is blessed with a rich assortment of National Parks, ranging from
Mount Rainier in Washington to the
Florida Everglades, and including the
Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Yosemite,
Death Valley and all the rest. These are
places of great natural beauty whose protected status ensures environmental conservation while still allowing access for
hikers, campers, photographers and nature lovers. Similarly, our California
State Parks offer public access to diverse
protected open spaces including beaches,
mountain sites and desert locations.
I was surprised to discover that one of
the recommendations in the recently released draft of the master plan is to
change the name from the Claremont
Hills Wilderness Park (CHWP) to the
Claremont Hills Wilderness Area
(CHWA).
The reason given for the recommended change is that the term park
may connote conditions contrary to natural open space areas. This seems to me
a narrow and shallow vision of the concept of a park.
As illustrated above, the word park
encompasses far more than just playgrounds, sports parks and amusement
parks. The city of Claremont General
Plan lists different categories of parks including pocket parks (e.g. Shelton),
neighborhood parks (Higginbotham),
community parks (Memorial), sports
parks (La Puerta) and Natural/Wilderness Parks (CHWP).
Although these differ in nature and
function, they share the greater purpose
of providing beauty and opportunities
for mental and physical recreation (p. 52 of the General Plan). Understanding
this connotation, the word park, when
preceded by the adjective wilderness,
seems to me the most accurate way to
describe our local hillside treasure.
The name Wilderness Park is also
more appropriate than Wilderness
Area, because the latter designation, as
established in the Wilderness Act of
1964, has a specific, narrow meaning
within the US National Park and Forest
Service community. It refers to areas
(such as the Sheep Mountain Wilderness
Area in the Angeles National Forest) of
near-pristine condition that lack roads
and buildings, are usually difficult to access, require permits for entry, and have
been minimally impacted by humans.
That is certainly not an accurate description of the CHWP, existing as it does at
the interface between the newly-designated San Gabriel Mountains National

Monument and the densely-populated
urban San Gabriel Valley. Our local hillsides have felt the impact of human activity for centuries.
As a final point, the draft master plan
states that the name change is related to
the goal of environmental preservation
and is expected to result in increased
environmental stewardship. It is not
clear to me how the proposed name
change would accomplish this.
In our surveys last summer at the Mills
Avenue entrance to the most heavily-impacted section of the park, we discovered
that many of the visitors werent even
aware that it is part of Claremont Hills
Wilderness Park; they know it simply as
the loop. Neither the number of visitors, nor the frequency of their visits, nor
their behavior when they arrive will be
affected by changing the official name
from park to area.
If we are serious about the goal of increased environmental stewardship, we
will get a lot more bang for the buck if
the estimated $10,000 allocated for
changing the official name from park
to area is used instead for habitat
restoration, trail repair and maintenance,
or public outreach and education.
A TAC meeting to discuss the Wilderness Park master plan will be held Thursday, September 10 at 6:30 p.m. at
Hughes Center. The draft is available online on the city website and also at city
hall, the library and the Hughes Center.

The Great Flood of 1938

by John Neiuber
cientists and meteorologists are predicting a Godzilla El Nio that

could bring record-breaking rain to
southern California this winter. There are
predictions that the record 13.68 inches of
rain that fell in February of 1998, could be
eclipsed.
The ocean temperatures indicate the current conditions are tracking closely to what happened in the
summer of 1997, which led up to the strongest El
Nio on record.
The other much less scientific factors indicating
that we will have an El Nio are all around us. I call
this the car wash effect. Readers will readily understand this. Your car is dirty and you have been putting
if off because there was a prediction of rain. The prediction did not hold true. Okay, you wash your car. Of
course, it rains!
We see the city completely redoing city hall with a
low water, drought-tolerant landscape. The grass on
the Indian Hill medians is being replaced and drip
systems are being installed. Everywhere, homeowners have replaced lawns. My wife and I have had drip
systems installed and are replacing grass with a lowwater substitute that looks like grass, but is not. That
should do itwe should have, as a city, ensured that
the car wash effect is in place.
Claremont sits on the western edge of a large alluvial flood plain. Those large rocks we encounter when
building and landscaping, also known as Claremont
potatoes, are the result of thousands of years of rains
washing them into the valley from the canyons above.
Periodic flooding is a normal event in southern
California. Since records have been kept, dating back
to the late 1700s, there have been a number of flood
events. Not all record rainfall has led to flooding;
such is the fickle nature of rain in southern California.
1983 saw total rainfall of 34.04 inches, and 1978 had
30.57 inches, and there was no major flooding.
Yet, in 1969 there was 26.32 inches of rain and there
was major flooding. The same was true for 1980, 1998
and 2005, which saw about as much rain as 1969.
One of the Southern California Great Floods that
impacted Claremont was the flood of 1938. A total of

9.18 inches of rain occurred in February/March 1938,
marking the heaviest prolonged rainstorm in the history of southern California. On February 27 and 28,
1938, a Pacific storm moved inland into the Los Angeles Basin, moving eastward to the San Gabriel Mountains. The rain was constant for those two days,
bringing over four inches of rain to the inland valleys.
Minor flooding occurred that affected only isolated
canyons and low-lying areas along rivers.
On the evening of March 1, a second storm rolled
in. It brought gale-force winds along the coast and
poured down rain until it ended on March 3. In the
lowlands, the rainfall totals reached 10 inches and
there was as much as 32 inches in the mountains. The
resulting damage was huge, as the mountains and
canyons funneled the water into the valleys.
In Claremont, the series of small dams and levees
in the Pomona Valley Protective Association spreading grounds were no match for the rains. The flood
waters came across Padua Avenue, sweeping away
rock walls built to protect properties. They flowed
across the area that is now the Claremont Club. Much
of the eastern part of Foothill Boulevard was destroyed. Amherst Avenue on the Pomona College
campus became a river. The Santa Fe Railroad tracks
east of Indian Hill Boulevard were undermined and
swept away. Arrow Highway at College Avenue was
decimated. Water rushed through the college buildings and flooded basements. Two to three feet of mud
could be found in the courtyard of Clark Hall at the
Scripps College campus. The greatest damage was to
the street system.
Throughout southern California, the flood destroyed 5,601 buildings, damaged another 1,500 and
stranded over 800 cars. The floods carried a tremendous amount of debris and sediment from the mountains. Roads were buried and traffic was impacted for
days. The most severe damage occurred along the
Santa Ana River in San Bernardino, Riverside and
Orange counties. There were no flood control dams at
the time, and the river swelled to almost half the flow
of the Mississippi River.
The town of Agua Mansa in Riverside County,
population 200, was completely swept away. In addition to the Santa Ana River, the flood caused the Los
Angeles and San Gabriel Rivers to burst their banks.
The flood stranded hundreds of people and washed
away roads, bridges and buildings.
The Great Flood of 1938 resulted in $40 million in
damage. It was estimated at the time that Claremont
had $350,000 in damages. The Red Cross called it the
fifth largest flood in history. There were four fatalities
in Claremont and 115 in total across all of the region.
It became one of the most catastrophic natural disasters in the history of southern California.
The aftermath of the flood resulted in heightened
initiatives to tame the rivers of Southern California. In
response to the 1938 flood event, there were a number of state and federal legislative acts enacted to
channel local streams and build more flood control
dams. San Antonio Dam, Sepulveda Dam, Prado
Dam and the Whittier Narrows Dam were all a result
of these initiatives, although San Antonio, having
been authorized by the Flood Control Act of 1938,
was not completed until 1956. These dams have
helped protect Claremont and all of southern California from subsequent flood events.
Of interest is that the storms of 1969 and 2005 actually had larger rain volumes than the 1938 flood, and
still caused damage and evacuations of low-lying areas.
As much as we may be looking forward to an El
Nio bringing rain to help alleviate some drought conditions, we could also be in for a major flood event.
Sun-baked earth that repels water, hillsides denuded
by fire and stunted plant growth could exacerbate the
problem. But still, I am holding out hope that the car
wash effect will prove trustworthy. I am hoping,
however, that the new roof on our house is not going
to contribute in a big way as a karmic offset!

Rally in Claremont on the

National Day of Action on Iran
About 60constituents of Rep. Judy Chus district visited her Claremont office Wednesday, August 26 as part
of the National Day of Action on Iran.
Ms. Chuhas been signaling uncertainty about whether
to support the Iran nuclear treaty in Congress. The group,
comprised ofPilgrims from Pilgrim Place, members of
Progressive ChristiansUniting and members of the local
chapter of MoveOn.org, presented Ms. Chu with 65
pages of signed petitions supporting the treaty. About
1100 constituents signed the petition, with DCC President John Forney serving as organizer for the rally.
After meeting with an aide, it was determined that
Congressmember Chu was not in her office. The petitioners went to the four corners of Foothill and Indian
Hill and spread the word to passing motorists coming
home in afternoon rush-hour traffic.

teaching enabled her to learn to speak. Mentoring by
her high school science teacher and aunt motivated Dr.
Grandin to pursue a career as a scientist and livestock

Mellon University and Duke University.
An award-winning authorsome of her popular

preserve water supplies depleted by four consecutive
dry years.
The contest encourages Golden State customers to
share photos of their golden lawns through September
29 for a chance to win up to a $100 credit toward their
water bill. Photos can be submitted via email at contest@gswater.com or to @GoldenStateH2O on Twitter
using the #GoGoldCA hashtag.
All photos submitted are eligible to be highlighted
on the Golden State Water (gswater.com) and Save Our
Water (saveourwater.com) websites, as well as the organizations Twitter and other social media channels.

In 2015, physicians, physical therapists and associates from the Sports Medicine Center at Pomona Valley
Hospital Medical Center performed 484 sports physicals, raising a combined total of $12,050 for the five
local high schools participating in its $$$ for Physicals program, which acts as a fundraising outlet for the
underfunded athletic budgets of the schools.
Each year, physicians from the Sports Medicine Center donate their time by providing student athletes from
Claremont, Bonita Damien, San Dimas and Charter
Oak high schools with comprehensive, pre-participation exams equired by the California Interscholastic
Federation (CIF). This year, Claremont High received
$2,750 for its athletic department through the program.
During the event, athletes make their way through
height, weight, blood pressure, vision, ear-nose-throat,
cardio and orthopedic check stations. Those who pass
the exams receive clearance for participation in summer practices, training camps and high school sports for
the upcoming school year. Before the screening event
occurs, athletic trainers and coaches establish a set fee
for exams. After the physicals are performed, 100 percent of the fees are donated back to the schools athletic
training department.
PVHMC has been providing physicals to local high
school students since 1983, when the Sports Medicine
Center first opened. Over the last nine years, more than
5,000 student athletes have been given physicals, raising $114,255 for the schools. The SMC physicians also
work closely with schools to provide complimentary
game coverage and support throughout the school year.
The SMC offers free sports injury screenings at its
physician clinic each Monday and Thursday from 5 to
7 p.m. in PVHMCs Rehabilitation Services Clinic. For

Wilderness Park Master Plan review is next week

by Freeman Allen
wanted to visit homes on Forsyth

Place to talk about the Claremont Energy Challenge, but there was no
place I could park. All the spaces were vacant but all were posted Residence Permit Required, even on nearby streets.
Thats Claremonts response to complaints about
the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park attracting noisy
visitors, and I wonder what the city will say to others
who may now want similar restrictions because they
live near places that frequently attract a crowd.
Forsyth Place is a small street on the west side of
Mills Avenue, a few blocks from the entrance to the
park. Even parking spaces with no homes nearby are
posted. That seemed bizarre. I knew there had been
complaints about park visitors disturbing residents,
but this was the first time I had experienced how it
felt to drive by blocks of empty spaces before finding
a place to park.
I hear restrictions are planned to just above Base
Line Road. I wondered if there isnt a better solution.
I looked to the newly-drafted Claremont Hills Wilderness Park Master Plan, now being reviewed by the
Demystifying
SUSTAINABILITY
city, for that better solution. I was disappointed.
There is emphasis on parking in the plan, perhaps
too much so. The proposal is to increase the $3 parking fee on the park lots to $5and to $10 when use is
particularly popular such as on Saturday and Sunday
mornings. That didnt seem like much of a solution.
Perhaps it would be an incentive to park even further away, and it might even discourage use at those
peak times, but I wondered if there is a better way.
For example, why not charge an entrance fee instead
of a parking fee? That way everyone would share in the
expense of maintaining the park, and it would present a
good opportunity to remove some of those parking restrictions. Of course, there are many things to be considered to find the best solution. A study group could be
appointed with members from across the community to
be sure of a broad perspective.
This draft plan has little about other important issues. This land is our watershed, but there is little
about that except on soils. The main purpose of the

wilderness park, as determined by the city, is preservation, but that is not emphasized. The draft plan does
not mention the $200,000 Feasibility Study for the
project Thompson Creek Spreading Grounds: Acquire, Restore, Preserve. This land at the top of Mills
Avenue that holds the dam would be added to the
park as a low-impact recreational area where storm
water capture would be enhanced and endangered
natural habitat preserved. The draft plan claims to
look forward 20 years, but does not consider such additions or include a plan for governing the park in the
future.
The draft plan is posted on the city of Claremonts
website. There will be an opportunity for public comment at the Technical Advisory Committee meeting at
the Hughes Center at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, September 10.

Strong cross country team readies for new season, new coach
laremont High Schools cross country team has a lot to be excited

about as they prepare for the upcoming season.
First, they were the undefeated 2014 Palomares
League champions. Second, they have a new coach with
a long track record of producing championship teams.
Third, with 104 runners, they have the depth to dominate
at the varsity level, as well as among the JV and freshman teams.
This past spring, Claremonts

Lander left to lead Chaffey Colleges

program. Coach Lander had been
with the Pack since 1993, as head coach since 2005. During his tenure, the team has developed into a true powerhouse in the very competitive southern section.
Claremont has hired veteran coach Bill Reeves to take
over the Pack. Coach Reeves has been an assistant in
Claremont for two years, a position he took in part because he liked Coach Landers approach.
Coach Reeves has 25 years of experience, including
two different stints leading the South Hills High School
cross country program. Under Coach Reeves, both the
boys and girls teams qualified for the California state
championship meet three years in a row.
In 1999, both teams won the CIF southern section
championship, and were also the individual CIF southern
section champions. This was only the third time in California state history that four titles have been won in cross
country on the same day, a feat that earned Coach Reeves
the California Cross Country Coach of the Year title.
He worked at Azusa Pacific University from 2000 to
2005, earning cross country GSAC conference coach of
the year separately for mens and womens teams a total
of seven times. In his five years at APU, the womens
cross country teams national placing was the highest of
any NAIA school, never finishing below sixth place.
A La Verne resident, Coach Reeves played basketball
and ran track in high school and is a third-generation
coach, with both his father and grandfather leading basketball programs. But he likes cross country because
there are no individual positions and it lacks the politics
seen in other sports programs.
If a parent comes to me and asks why their kid is not
in the top seven [places on varsity team] I say, Well,
seven kids ran faster.
The Packs depth of talent will be tested this weekend
at the Cool Breeze tournament in Chino. The event,
which includes 54 teams, is held at night on the El Prado
Golf Course with 4000-watt lights illuminating the race.
The girls team looks very good; we only lost one girl
in our top seven and added a freshman who is at number
three, said Coach Reeves. We will find out more this
weekend. The meets got some big schools.
Unfortunately, last years top four male runners all

Chicken Charlie Boghosian debuted his newest
concoctions: deep-fried guacamole and a baconwrapped chicken leg served on top of a syrup-drizzled waffle. Served with ranch dressing, the
avocado-licious ball of battered goodness seems to be
the favorite among guests.
The deep-fried guacamole could be the next Los
Angeles County Fair classic, Mr. Boghosian said of
his latest creation. The LA County Fair takes its food
very seriously, so we knew we wanted something
amazing. Since Angelenos love their chicken and
waffles, a deep-fried, bacon-wrapped version seemed
like a no-brainer.
Previous Chicken Charlie creations such as the
deep-fried peanut butter pickle and the ironic deepfried Slim Fast bar are also on the menu, as well as
the best-selling fair food item of all time, the Krispy
Kreme Triple-Decker Cheeseburger.
Cornocopia Foods pushes the food boundaries this
year with their Spicy PB&J Burger, a hotter, meatier
version of the classic American food enlivened by the
addition of Sriracha sauce.
For those seeking a healthier alternative, San
Dimas-based eatery Twisted Sage is making its fair
debut this year and offers some delicious options. Located on the shady patio of the Millard Sheets Building, guests can enjoy fresh fare like a curried chicken
sandwich served on a croissant or an apple and goat
cheese chicken salad that is both light and full of flavor.
Were excited to bring a fresh, healthy alternative
to the traditional fair food, says Twisted Sage chef
and manager Jolyn Thompson.
Fairgoers searching for something cool and refreshing to drink will find it at Riccos. Their all-natural
Michelaguas come in flavors such as pineapplespinach, lemon-cucumber and mango. Try the pineapple-spinach. Trust me, you wont be disappointed.

Show such a unique and successful

event. This years iteration of the Tile

Show features new ceramic sculpture
by Jackie Marsh. Marsh produces
small-scale figures decorated with gestural carvings and loosely applied
glazes. These delightful and sometimes
ambiguous creatures exude a sense of
Buddha-like contentment, which
leaves the viewer longing to spend time
with them. Their palm-sized scale encourages handling and the intimate engagement of a teacup. In fact, many of
these creatures combine animal with
vessel to make hybrid forms, which are
reminiscent of traditional face jugs or
pre-Colombian pottery. Opening reception: Saturday, September 5. Enjoy
catering donated by Trader Joes and
Spaggis Restaurant. The public reception runs from 6 to 8 p.m. and Friends
of First Street members will get early

eet Wolfie, a Pomeranian

with a penchant for pancakes and a heart of gold.
Wolfie belongs to COURIER office manager

Vickie Rosenberg and her husband Art. His full
name is Wolfgang Amadeus Rosenberg. Hes
named after the famous composer Wolfgang
Amadeus Mozart.
Wolfie came to the Rosenberg family 10 years
ago, when he was less than six weeks old and no
bigger than the palm of Vickies hand. Considering
that shes less than five feet tall, thats a small hand
and an even smaller pup. He was a little puffball
with two little brown eyes, Vickie remembers.
Wolfie has grown since then but, at seven and a
half pounds, hes still just a little guy. His family
keeps him looking good with a professional grooming every three months or so. In the spring through
the summer, his family opts to give him the teddy
bear cut. With his hair cropped short except on his
face, he looks likeyou guessed ita teddy bear.
This canine cutie can be cuddly like a teddy bear
when he wants, too, but hes pretty independent.
Sometimes he wants to keep to himself. Other
times, when hes craving attention, he plops himself next to Vickie on the couch for some quality
time or follows Art around while hes trying to
mow the lawn.
Wolfies family includes another dog, a Dachshund named Rosie. They get along well enough,
sleeping together in an area of the living room
thats penned off by furniture and a baby gate.
Wolfie had a tough time starting out. He was
born in a litter of three and he was the runt, meaning he was the smallest puppy. When he was born,
he was stuck in his moms birth canal for a while
and even stopped breathing. Doctors were able to
revive him and, a decade later, this miracle dog is
still going strong.
He enjoys a good game of fetch with his human
family and playing with a plush Eeyore doll hes
had since he was a puppy. The Rosenbergs tell

COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff
Wolfie, Go get your baby, and hell retrieve his

stuffed animal. If theyre not around to toss Eeyore
to him, Wolfie will pick it up with his teeth and
fling it, then go get it and fling it again. His Eeyore
is in amazing condition considering its age and all
the wear-and-tear. It isnt even missing an eye,
Vickie notes.
Along with the occasional pancake, Wolfies favorite treat is a walk. If he hears the word walk
or sees Vickie putting on her sneakers, hes ready
to hit the road. During his walks, he has a very nononsense approach. He stares straight ahead and
walks like hes on his way to an appointment, never
stopping to sniff around or tinkle on the grass.
One other standout quality is that hes more of a
talker than a barker. Hell look you in the eye and
say something like Row-low-ro-rowl. No one
knows quite what hes saying, except maybe Rosie,
but were willing to bet its pretty interesting.
Sarah Torribio
ave you ever seen an old photograph and wondered why

everyone, even the kids, seem
so darn serious?
Its not that everyone was depressed in the olden
days. One reasons for all those straight faces is
that in the early days of photography, film used to
have a much longer exposure time. People posing
for the camera had to remain absolutely still for
several minutes if they didnt want their picture to
come out blurry. It wasnt until shortly before
1900 that the exposure time was shortened enough
so that quick snapshots could be taken.
Theres more to it than the time factor, however.
Many people used to think there was something
undignified about a smile. And since it was so rare
to be photographed, sitting for a portrait was considered a fancy occasion.
Even Tom Sawyer author Mark Twain, who
was known for his sense of humor, had this to say:
A photograph is a most important document, and
there is nothing more damning to go down to posterity than a silly, foolish smile caught and fixed
forever.
Nowadays, someone can snap a dozen photos
before you have time to blink. And smiling in a
picture is considered a sign that you are enjoying
yourselfthat youre healthy and happy.
So the next time someone wants a picture of
you, dont be surprised if they try to coax a smile
out of you by asking you to say, Cheese!

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.
The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and
delivered to the undersigned a written request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in
the county where the real property is located.
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 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 this property.
Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to
bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that

at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less
than the total debt
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 (866)-960-8299
or visit this Internet Web site http://www.altisource.com/MortgageServices/DefaultManagement/TrusteeServices.aspx using the file number
assigned to this case 2014-04739-CA. 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.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF LYNN T. JACKSON
Case No. BP165897
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who
may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of LYNN T. JACKSON
A PETITION FOR PROBATE
has been filed by Steve F. Jackson in the Superior Court of California, County of LOS
ANGELES.
THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that Steve F. Jackson be appointed as personal representative to
administer the estate of the decedent.
THE PETITION requests the
decedent's will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are
available for examination in the file kept by
the court.
THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This
authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining
court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to
interested persons unless they have waived
notice or consented to the proposed action.)
The independent 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 on Sept. 24, 2015 at 8:30 AM in Dept.
No. 29 located at 111 N. Hill St., Los Angeles,
CA 90012.

objections with the court before the hearing.
Your appearance may be in person or by your
attorney.

contin-gent creditor of the decedent, you must
file your claim with the court and mail a copy
to the personal representative appointed by the
court within the later of either (1) four months
from the date of first issuance of letters to a
general personal representative, as defined in

The recent sale of our Claremont home presented some very
unique challenges. Carlos and Pat handled my former home
as if it were their own. They kept me informed,
responded with professionalism and reassurance, and made
sure that as their customers, my ex-husband and I were their
top priority. The house ended up selling for higher than
asking price. I recommend Carlos and Pat Samuelson with
complete confidence and a heart full of gratitude.
