READERS COMMENTS
Dodging traffic, part II
Dear Editor: Wendy Hamptons letter about her husband being struck twice by bicycles on Village sidewalks brought back a terrifying incident from my childhood many years ago, in my home town in the Heartland when I was about 11 years old. My best friend and I often walked from the downtown square to her home a few blocks away. On that day, she had a bicycle and said she would give me a ride on the handlebars. I was a bit apprehensive, not having a bike of my own, but since she was older and bigger, I assumed she had done this before with her sister. It was fun as we started down the sidewalk. In the excitement of this new experience, I didnt notice that walking some distance ahead of us was a small older lady, well known to us, who lived 2 or 3 blocks from where we were going. She was carrying a full paper bag of groceries in each arm. Being new to this, I assumed my friend could see where we were going by looking around me, and never dreamed she couldnt. She assumed I would tell her if anyone was ahead of us on the sidewalk. Big mistake! We were both shocked and terrified to see we had knocked her face-down to the sidewalk! A neighbor came out and helped the lady up, and because the groceries cushioned her fall, she was shaken but not seriously injured, much to our undying relief! Of course the 500 or so residents of our town knew of it immediately. The following week, the editor of the local weekly newspaper wrote with gratitude about how things turned out, and published the city ordinance prohibiting bicycle riding on city sidewalks. When I think of how differently our lives would have been if we had killed one of our own, it makes me shudder. Our lives would have been ruined, and those of our parents, no doubt. Would we have been taken from our parents and sent to reform school or worse? Surely Claremont, with its more than 35,000 residents, plus students and many visitors shopping, dining and attending functions, can see the need for prohibiting bicycle riding on the side-

walks and for posting signs to that effect with an ordinance number and fines, etc. for failure to comply. Didnt we give up many of our traffic lanes to make room for bicycle lanes on our streets? Who would be held responsible should someone receive serious injury or be killed by a cyclist on a business sidewalk? The rider? The city? The merchant? The parent of a minor child who caused it? Lets be safe. Indeed we should.

Former Senator talks health care, need for universal access

ith an estimated 90 million Americans uninsured and underinsured, there is no issue of more importance to the future of our democracy than health care, according to former US Senator from South Dakota Tom Daschle, who spoke at Claremont McKenna Colleges Athenaeum Monday night.
Amid students and the politically inclined, the former Senate majority leader and tireless health care advocate stressed the importance of participation in the November election as part of this years Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum speaker series. Political views aside, he warns the level of participation could make or break our democracy. In less than 45 days, we will ultimately determine what happens to the Affordable Care Act. For Mr. Romney its repeal and replace, for Mr. Obama its his signature achievement in his first 4 years, Mr. Daschle said. This is a very close race and it could go either way. Votes matter. Mr. Daschle knows from experience. He began his political career as a member of the US House of Representatives in 1978, beating his opponent by 14 votes. Which in South Dakota is 60 percent, he joked. After serving 4 terms in the House, he was elected to the US Senate in 1986, where he was named minority leader in 1994. To date, he is the only senator to have served as both the Senates minority and majority leader. His run with the Senate came to an end in defeat by Republican John Thune in 2004. He now serves as a policy advisor at DLA Piper Global Law Firm, where he acts as a strong advocate of many public policy issues including universal health care. Mr. Daschle published a book on the subject, titled Getting it Done: How Obama and Congress Finally Broke the Stalemate to Make Way for Healthcare Reform in 2010. Despite varied stances on President Barack Obamas plan for universal, affordable health care, Mr. Daschle claims there are 3 main challenges surrounding the current health care system that are universally accepted across the political spectrum. To start, the United States health care system has serious problems with access, cost and quality. He refers to health care as a pyramid. At the base of the pyramid is basic health care. At the top are the most sophisticated applications like heart transplants and MRIs. Every society starts at the base and works its way up until the money runs out. This is not the practice in the United States. In the United States, we start from

fully appreciate that we are going to lose and gain yards but at the end of the day, our goal is to get to the end. It is imperative that young Americans, like CMC students, ask these questions and start moving toward a solution, according to Mr. Daschle. You [students] are going to feel the effect of all this far greater than I ever will, and I think you have a right and certain responsibility to see this turns out well, he said. We are on an unsustainable path and unless we start addressing health care in a very comprehensive way, we will not succeed.

the top of the pyramid and work our way down until the money runs out and people confuse that with quality, he said. The problem is that is where costs are most expensive. You can deal with health care in the broadest and most basic way at the base of the pyramid and yet a lot of people dont have base-of-the-pyramid care. The cause of these problems is another accepted bipartisan issue: It all comes back to transparency. We have more access to stats on any sports figure...than we do on any doctor or hospital, Mr. Daschle said. You dont know about the quality of a doctor. You have no way of knowing. You cant tell what the record of a hospital is because there is no trans-

parency and you cant fix what you cant see. Fundamental issues across party lines come down to the role government plays in this process. Several students voiced these concerns to Mr. Daschle. Can the government force a child with obesity to choose broccoli over chips? What happens to doctors inundated with work because of the new system? How do they make a living? Those are all complex issues, he agreed, but Mr. Daschle maintained the important thing is that we continue to work toward universal access. For the first time, we now have the prospects of universal health care access as a public policy goal. The pieces are there, he said. We must

Claremont COURIER/Wednesday, September 26, 2012

COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff Keck Graduate Institute masters student Stacy Crawford and Keck professor Ian Phillips have been working on identifying new treatments for a rare disorder called Behcets Disease. For Ms. Crawford the research is personal because she is one of the few people worldwide with the disease.

KGI student finds help, and helps others with rare disease

little over a decade ago, 28year-old Stacy Crawford was diagnosed with Behcets disease, a rare autoimmune disorder often characterized by ulcers and inflammation in painful, spontaneous flare-ups. She spent 10 days in the hospital with her initial outbreak as doctors struggled to diagnose her. Feeling alone in her struggle, Ms. Crawford vowed to one day help others facing similar strife.
With her leadership in a recent research project at Claremonts Keck Graduate Institute of Applied Life Science (KGI), the Master of Science student has found her moment. Through KGIs Center for Rare Disease Therapies (CRDT), Ms. Crawford and classmates have found an alternative drug, pentoxifylline, to help treat patients with Behcets disease. After filing an application for the drug last spring, the KGI colleagues have received notice from at least one pharmaceutical company interested in marketing the drug for Behcets patients. I have always wanted to reach out, but didnt know how, Ms. Crawford said. Her groups research, supported by the American Behcets Disease Association, has provided her with an outlet. I didnt think I would ever be able to have this opportunity. Their research began last fall as part of a class offered by Professor and Director of CRDT Ian Phillips. The semester-long class teaches students

how to write and submit applications for orphan drugsmedications used to treat rare medical conditionsto various pharmaceutical companies. In 1983, President Reagan signed an act that would provide incentives for companies to commercialize these orphan drugs, and Mr. Phillips class and the CRDT furthers that mission: making medication for rare diseases more readily available. There are a lot of perfectly safe, unused drugs out there that could be used for treating rare diseases, Mr. Phillips said. [Pentoxifylline] is a very nice discovery by Stacy and her colleagues. It has been used in the past without any toxicology problems and can be adapted to Behcets patients. Of course, it also helps to have an authority on Behcets, he added. Knowing the harsh reactions to many of the drugs used to treat Behcets, Ms. Crawford was eager to explore and advocate medication options that presented fewer side effects as a part of her class research. The first line of therapy [for Behcets] is usually steroids, which you cant take long-term and have pretty bad side effects, she said. Finding a drug with minimum side effects was definitely important. Ms. Crawford came across pentoxifylline while browsing the website for the American Behcets Disease Association. Though pentoxifylline is typically used as a generic anti-inflammatory medication, case studies have shown its success in treating Behcets, according to Ms. Crawford. We looked at many other drugs, but pentoxifylline seemed to be the best, she said. It stood out because the standard mechanisms were so dif-

ferent than your typical steroid. [Pentoxifylline] had the least amount of side effects. With the right drug identified, Ms. Crawford and her classmates set to work preparing an application for submission to pharmaceutical companies. The workload, between the research and perfecting the application, proved to be more than the team had planned, according to Ms. Crawford. At the end of the semester, MC and her teammates did not want to put the unfinished work aside, so they applied for an independent study course to continue the project the following spring. The extra effort was worth it and Ms. Crawford is living proof of the projects success. Ms. Crawford has been taking the drug for the past 3 months and has yet to see a flare up, which for her usually occur every 6 weeks. Its like a miracle so far, she said. In addition to finding a new and improved way of dealing with her own Behcets, Ms. Crawford feels she is finally finding her outlet to helping others. Once seemingly alone in dealing with her disease, she is now receiving an abundance of correspondence from other people with Behcets. Those with Behcets are few and far between. A lot of the times you feel like you are alone, like no one is reaching out to help you, Ms. Crawford said. Now I have the chance to reach out and help others.

Author discusses writing amid Arab restrictions, expectations

nouar Benmalek considers himself both Arab and nonArab. The novelist, poet, journalist and mathematician explained this duality, and the mental shifts it requires, at a Scripps College talk on Monday. He pens books in his native French, the latest of which is called Abduction, making him the literary heir of humanists like Albert Camus. But though he has lived in France since 1992, the background of Mr. Benmalek, the son of an Algerian father and a Moroccan mother, is inarguably Arab.
As such, he feels suddenly and protectively Arab when someone speaks pejoratively of the culture. Among the Arabs of Algeria and beyond, though, in countries infected by the poison of COURIERphoto/Sarah Torribio purity engendered by fundamentalist Author Anovar Benmalek speaks at Scripps College on Monday evening. Islam, the writer is an outsider by the very nature of his avocation. In his homeland, dissent or even the questioning of religious or governmental precepts is anathema. Writing is viewed with suspicion because, according to Mr. Benmalek, the Arab is A writer of Algerian descent is assigned a box from supposed to be full to the brim of ethnic and religious identity. which he is not supposed to escape on pain of ridicule A writer of Algerian descent is asand accusations of treason. signed a box from which he is not supposed to escape on pain of ridicule Anouar Benmalek, author of Abduction and accusations of treason, he said.

though, the Islamic backlash has spurred him to become increasingly frank about subjects like the violence that prevails in Algeria and neighboring countries in the name of religious purity. He has learned firsthand the truth of another Arabic proverb: You die if youre silent. You die if you speak out. You may as well speak and die. Razan Ahmed, a junior at Pomona College, was one of the students who took in Mr. Benmaleks talk, and said she found it inspiring. As long as their governments remain firmly tied to theology, Islamic countries will continue to experience violence and repression as people attempt to return to a mythical golden age, Mr. Benmalek said.

Imposing democratic ideals from the outside on places with no history of this kind of governance will not stop that tide, in his view. Even the introduction of technology like the web is not changing the philosophy of fundamental Islam, he notes. Instead, Fundamental movements are using digital technology to spread Byzantine beliefs, in a form of East-West cultural schizophrenia. What may help is literature, with its way of expanding our understanding of others. Mr. Benmalek has no illusions that his work, or any other writing, will change the world quickly. Im humble, he said.
Mr. Benmalek may be humble, and he may be divided culturally. But he knows what his calling is. I have the misfortune to consider that literature is one of the most beautiful conquests of the human spirit. Pomona College junior Razan Ahmed, who has literary aspirations herself, tends to agree. She found the presentation inspiring. As a person born in Sudan who grew up in the US, theres a lot of limbo as far as my identity, Ms. Ahmed said. And as someone who writes a lot, I find it very encouraging to hear that I dont have to stick to my national identity.

In search of the holy grail of rain catchment


by Steve Sabicer

t was in the Negev Desert on an archaeological excavation when I first thought about building a cistern in my backyard.
I was a Pomona College sophomore on a summer internship when I climbed to the top of Masada, the ruins of King Herods desert palace. Perched on the edge of a steep 1800-foot plateau, Masada stands like a sandy lighthouse watching over the nearby brackish Dead Sea. Built as a luxurious safe house for the Levantine king, Masada is an impressive example of the sustainability of Roman architecture. Despite getting less than 10 inches of rain a year, Masada has no natural spring or well. Yet Herod demanded it house the aquatic amenities expected of a Roman villa: fountains, steam baths, and irrigated farm land. The secret to this desert oasis was a colossal system of cisterns, which captured more than 40,000 cubic meters of rainwater (about 10 million gallons) during the brief winter wet season. The image of those cisterns stuck with me for years. Recently, I got to thinking about how I could apply Herods first century technology to a sustainable 21st century household. Could I supplement the water needs for a family of 5 by relying on the rain? I turned to Claremonts water guru and fellow Sustainable Claremont board member, Richard Haskell, to help answer the question. He mentioned that the average Claremont household requires 15,000 gallons of water per month! That was shocking. But after consulting my own water bills, I was embarrassed to learn that my family actually used almost 17,000 gallons per month, or a staggering 200,000 gallons a year! Now that I knew the demand, I needed to know how much water Mother Nature could supply. According to Bernard Field Station records, Claremont averages 16.58 inches of rain annually. Assuming rainfall remains constant, and if I used my 2800square-foot roof as the catchment system, I could store about 29,000 gallons of rainwater each year. That was nowhere close to the 200,000 gallons I consumed. Id need a whopping 20,000 square feet of

Demystifying
SUSTAINABILITY
rain catchment to meet those needs, more area than my entire lot (plus the neighbors for that matter). I simply didnt have the land to sustain my water habit through rainfall. I felt like my dream of a mini Masada in my backyard was slipping away. So where was all this water going? Was the culprit too frequent laundering, a leaky irrigation system, or maybe pool evaporation? My Golden State Water bill lacked any specifics. Southern California Edison was a little more detailed after I completed their home energy efficiency surveyavailable online. It breaks down water consumption into categories, although not without controversy. According to SCE, I spend 25 percent of my water on landscaping. Richard Haskell told me that number should be much higher. A Golden State survey from 2010 suggests landscape irrigation accounts for as much as 50 percent of residential water use. Other studies put it at 70 percent or more. Suddenly, I had a new cause. If my cistern could keep my lawn green while absolving me of a little eco-guilt, I was game. With new resolve and 29,000 gallons or rainwater to store, I needed a place to put it. Herods cisterns were plaster-lined, underground and cleaned out annually to prevent disease and fouling. If I were to build a cistern that would keep away bacteria and algae, andmost importantlymeet modern building codes, I was going to need another expert. This time I contacted Erik Petersen and Lee Krusa at Claremont Environmental Design Group (CEDG). The environmentally-aware architecture firm has designed several cisterns for eco-groovy clients ranging from simple, plastic-lined holes in the ground to giant, self-contained plastic tanks. Innovative plumbing filters out all that muck that comes down the gutters during the first rains, and an electric pump pulls the water from the storage tanks. By my own estimates, my system, using 15 underground storage tanks, would cost about $35,000 in materials and

labor. Yikes! The sticker shock forced another question. Would this water battery ultimately make financial sense? At my current consumption rate, the cistern would only offset my water bill by about $250 dollars annually. As many Claremonters know, water prices are slated to go up considerably, so I guesstimated future water costs might double over the next several decades. Even with that assumption, Id need more than 60 years to get back my original investment. Building a larger cistern might be more cost-effective and speed up the savings, but that assumed I had the real estate to build it. Regardless, the economic argument for my cistern was marginal at best. Certainly, there are other reasons for a cistern. Capturing rainwater before it goes down the storm drain limits the pollutants introduced to the ocean. Catchment also reduces local dependency on imported water, and rainwater is tastier and softer than tap water, as well as un-chlorinated. Most compelling to me, cisterns improve your self-sufficiency, especially during natural disasters like those pesky earthquakes we have. So building a cistern on my property will have to be more about these other factors than just economic motivations. More importantly, my quest for the holy grail of water catchment reiterated the importance of that other c-word, conservation. Im now watering the lawn less frequently, and Ive installed low-flow showerheads. We might even consider a hot water recirculating pump to reduce water waste while waiting for the shower to warm up. These small improvements can make a big difference in consumption, which means that the water caught from the skies can have greater impact. Regardless, I still want a catchment system. Call it nostalgia or paranoia, but I plan to build a modest system next year when we do some remodeling. A mans home is his palace, and mine deserves a cistern.

OUR TOWN
Former community college chancellor to discuss state of higher education
Jack Scott, scholar in residence in Claremont Graduate University's School of Educational Studies and chancellor of the California Community Colleges from 2009-2012, will deliver this year's 29th annual Howard R. Bowen Lecture on Tuesday, October 2. Mr. Scotts talk will focus on how California's higher education system has gone from being a world leader to being one of the country's most challenged over the span of 40 years. This will not be another lamentation; Mr. Scott promises to provide thoughts on how the state can reclaim its once globally envied system. For the past 3 years, Mr. Scott led the state's 112 community colleges through sweeping reforms. Prior to assuming the chancellor's position, he served in the California State Senate (2000-2008) and as president of Pasadena City College (198795) and Cypress College (1978-87). Mr. Scott holds a PhD in history from Claremont Graduate University and a masters of divinity from Yale University. The Bowen Lecture is an annual fall lectureship on higher education delivered by leading scholars and practitioners in the field. The talk will begin at 7 p.m. in Albrecht Auditorium, 925 N. Dartmouth Ave. in Claremont. It is free and open to the public. Seating is limited and on a first-come, first-served basis.

Now and Then: Seeing Red


The Claremont Colleges have long hosted an array of speakers on notable topics concerning the community. In the case of a Scripps College forum publicized in a December 1948 edition of the Claremont COURIER, the Communist Red Menace fear that swept the US in the wake of World War II was a hot topic. A Chaffey College social sciences teacher was the featured speaker at the presentation, bluntly titled Who is a Communist? McCarthyism may have waned but, even today, the Claremont Colleges provide a platform for many political presentations. This week, on Wednesday, September 26, for instance, author and professor Frederick R. Lynch will present a talk titled The Fight Over Medicare and Social Security: Boomers, AARP and America's Future from 6:45 to 8 p.m. at Claremont McKennas Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum (385 E. 8th St., Claremont). The musical and political satire group The Capitol Steps, who recently released an album called Take the Money and Run for President, will perform on Tuesday, October 2 at 8 p.m. The venue will be Pomona Colleges Bridges Auditorium, 450 N. College Way, Claremont. Tickets are $28 and $35 general admission and can be purchased at the box office, 607-1139, or online at www.pomona.edu/administration/bridges-auditorium. Lisa Maatz, policy adviser for the American Association of University Women, will present a talk titled Stories from the Frontlines: The War on Women, Fact or Myth? at the Athenaeum on Wednesday, October 3 from 6:45 to 8 p.m. The Athenaeum will also host James Millstein, presenting a talk titled Hangover: The Financial Crisis of 2008 and its Fiscal Consequences on Monday, October 8 from 6:45 to 8 p.m.

Citrus to receive green colleges leadership award


Citrus College will receive a 2012 Leadership Award at the Green Community Colleges Summit on Thursday, September 27 at the Pasadena Convention Center. The summit is the nations most significant community college event focused on building, managing and teaching in high-performance, environmentally-safe classrooms and campuses, according to event organizers. Every year, 5 leadership awards are presented to California community colleges as a way to recognize outstanding accomplishments in sustainability. Categories include teacher, school district, green campus, energy and curriculum Citrus College will be receiving the 2012 Leader-

And on Wednesday, October 31, Char Miller, director of the Environmental Analysis Program at Pomona College and senior fellow of the Pinchot Institute for Conservation, will discuss Public Lands/Public Debates: A Century of Controversy. Mr. Miller is the author and editor of numerous books, including Gifford Pinchot and the Making of Modern Environmentalism, River Basins of the American West: A High Country News Reader and Water in the 21st Century West. His talk, which runs from 4:15 to 5:30 p.m., will take place in the Honnold/Mudd Library of the Claremont University Consortium, 800 Dartmouth Ave., Claremont. For information, call 607-3986.

ship Award for Energy during the summit. The school was nominated for the honor by the California Community College Chancellors office in recognition of its work developing a new sustainability template. Made possible by a $285,000 grant from the Public Utilities Commission, the purpose of the template is to provide a roadmap allowing the colleges to move toward sustainability, while also addressing the greenhouse mandates under the California Global Warming Solutions Act (AB 32).

OBITUARIES

Claremont COURIER/Wednesday, September 26, 2012

Robert J. Swan
Robert J. Swan, PhD died peacefully at Mt. San Antonio Gardens on August 23, 2012. He was 88 years old. Mr. Swan was born on October 13, 1923 in Madison, Wisconsin to Bert H. and Helen J. Swan. His father was a brick mason and later a building contractor. He grew up across the street from Lake Monona, and the family always had various boats and other watercraft around. His brother, Richard Dick T. Swan, called him a bookworm, a trait that probably helped lead him to a career as a professor and to his lifelong love of education. Mr. Swan served his country in the Army during World War II. He was trained to translate and decipher captured Japanese documents. After the war, he married Barbara J. Swan, the mother of his 4 children, who preceded him in death after 57 years of marriage in 2003. Mr. Swan finished his bachelors at the University of Michigan in Far East studies. He then went on to complete a masters in public administration in 1948 and a doctorate in educational psychology in 1953, both at the University of Minnesota. Mr. Swan later was a professor at California State University at Long Beach for 25 years. While there, he was recognized for being a stimulating teacher and mentor to students, and established a masters program for career counseling and an educational clinic for adults and children with learning disabilities.

Veteran, professor, educational advocate


teacher. Mr. Swan continued his educational research into his 80s. He was particularly concerned about the sensitivity of some students to excessive artificial light in modern school buildings, especially fluorescent lighting, and how this influenced their ability to learn to read. Mr. Swan loved living in Claremont, where there sometimes seemed to be more professors than students. He also loved the pipe organ at the Claremont United Church of Christ, and found Mt. San Antonio Gardens and the Claremont community to be supportive and intellectually stimulating. Mr. Swans children will always remember him as a kind, loving and generous father and husband, who worked hard to improve the lives of others. Mr. Swans 4 children, Jeff, Cathy, Larry and Doug, invite anyone who knew their father to a memorial service celebrating his life at the Claremont United Church of Christ on Saturday, September 29 at 10 a.m. (233 W. Harrison Ave., corner of Harvard and Harrison Avenues). A reception will follow. Memorial gifts in lieu of flowers may be sent to: The Barbara and Robert Swan Scholarship Fund, c/o Arizona Community Foundation, 2201 E. Camelback Rd., Suite 202, Phoenix, AZ, 85016 Memorial gifts should be made to ACF-Swan Scholarship Fund.

Among other professional awards, Mr. Swan was honored by the California Career Development Association in 1995. The organization named an award after him, the Robert Swan Lifetime Achievement in Career Development, which is presented annually to professionals who make significant contributions to the field. The Swans moved to Mt. San Antonio Gardens in 2001, shortly after Ms. Swan retired as a kindergarten

Sixth St. A discussion will follow led by Char Miller, Pomona College professor of environmental analysis, and Samantha Meyer, sustainability and purchasing coordinator for the colleges dining services.

Roberto Romano, the film is set in the bush of Africa and reveals hidden footage of the trafficking of children as

young as 7 years old to the cocoa fields in the Ivory Coast. Through interviews with freed and rescued children, traffickers, government and policy officials and local activists, Mistrati exposes a darker side of chocolate than one promised by international chocolate companies like Nestl, Berry Callebaut and Mars, that signed the 2001 Cocoa Protocol pledging to eradicate child labor in cocoa production by 2008.

CHS gets the latest gear courtesy of Claremont Sunrise Rotary


This fall season, the Claremont Sunrise Rotary awarded the 2012 to the Claremont High School football team boosters. The money went toward purchasing new helmets for the players. In the wake of so many high profile head injuries involving football players in professional and youth leagues, CHS decided the safety of its young men was paramount and fitted each player with the new Riddell Revolution Speed helmets. Boosters President Michael Tyus said, This helps relieve the anxiety of parents and family members who watch from the sidelines. Even if football coaches teach their players proper tackling technique, freak accidents can still happen. However, improved technology helps to keep up with the games unpredictable nature. As players grow physically, improve their quickness, and muscular strength, their collisions on the field become more forceful. Leagues are helping by cracking down on spearing by players looking to launch themselves at other players to make a play. The helmets are the result of concussion reduction technology research, and Claremont Sunrise Rotary is proud to say they have contributed to the overall health of high school athletes.

What is not said in the Dear Golden State Water letter


Comments and comparison with the city-owned water system in La Verne
by Freeman Allen

[Editors note: The following viewpoint was submitted in an effort to refute claims made by Golden State Water in their letter to Claremont customers that was distributed September 11, 2012 by Denise Kruger, senior vice president of GSW. The original letter can be viewed at http://www.gswater.com/csa_home pages/claremont.html. KD] Claim: Water rates. Customer bills also include a City-mandated 5.5 percent Claremont Utility Tax. That is correct. The tax added $941,000 to the Claremont city budget in 2011. What isnt said: In La Verne, there is no added tax, but the city water enterprise contributes $1,000,000 to the city budget, more than taxes do in Claremont. Yet La Verne water costs the user much less than in Claremont. Claim : Proactive maintenance is the right way to protect the system. What isnt said: La Verne has been more proactive than Golden State Water by building emergency water storage facilities. Golden State is still using temporary storage facilities and just beginning to catch up. Those who know the La Verne system say it is better maintained, and the water quality is as good as in Claremont. Claim: We (GSW) receive a government-approved rate of return. What isnt said: Golden States rates are approved

VIEWPOINT
by the California Public Utilities Commission, notorious for favoring corporate interests over those of consumers. There is a charade: Golden State routinely requests about twice what is granted. If Claremont owned the water system, the city would set its own rates and not need CPUC approval. Claim: Essentially, your water rates are based largely on consumption. What isnt said: Rates approved by the CPUC are supplemented by hefty GSW adjustments. Perhaps the most notorious is WRAMthe Water Rate Adjustment Mechanism that allows increases in rates as water is conserved! Service charges (meter charges) are also manipulated to increase income. For example, there was a huge increase in 2010 when CPUCapproved water rate increases were applied. A third higher-rate tier was added, and meter charges were also increased. Claim: Then the city would have to create a water agency. What isnt said: That is not necessarily so. The city might partner with a neighboring city and jointly manage the system.

Claim: Homeowners would bear the full cost for eminent domain takeover, through a property tax increase/or additional fees. What isnt said: Claremont water users now pay an estimated $8 million or more per year than they would under La Verne rates. If that money was used for a bond to purchase the system, even at a cost of more than $100 million, there would be money left over to reduce rates significantly. And in the future, we would determine our own rates, not Golden State and the CPUC. Claim: Impact on rates. Claremont residents will end up paying substantially higher water costs for a lower level of service, now and in the future. What isnt said: That is not correct. Water costs could decrease, and rise less in the future than under Golden State. La Verne, a city remarkably similar to ours, has a city-owned system. Their costs to the user are half what they are in Claremont if the cost of water to the providers is taken into account. It is remarkable to imply that a municipally-owned system, where the local customers are the only concern, would have poorer service. Claim: If anyone suggests otherwise, ask for the details. Offer: A detailed analysis is posted on the League of Women Voters and Sustainable Claremont websites, www.claremont.ca.lwvnet.org and www.sustainableclaremont.org. See for yourself.

Golden State responds to CBS news report on Claremont water conflict

n a letter released to Golden State Water customers late Tuesday afternoon, Denise Kruger, Golden State senior vice president, challenged the accuracy and methods used in a CBS news report on Claremonts water conflict.

The segment, initiated by CBS investigative reporter David Goldstein, aired Monday night at 11 p.m. Mr. Goldstein requested that GSW President and CEO Robert Sprowls show written documentation outlining ex-

penditures by the water company, including infrastructure improvements and employee perks like health club memberships and/or expense accounts. It was evident in the segment that Mr. Sprowls was put off by the reporters demands, however, he promised to provide such documentation to Mr. Goldstein within a few days. CBS stated that the information was never provided. In an effort to refute findings made by the reporter, Ms. Kruger released the following letter to GSW customers. It is printed in its entirety.
Kathryn Dunn Managing Editor

Dear valued customer, Golden State Water Company is committed to customers and the communities we serve throughout California. From our people to the ongoing investments we make to ensure our water systems deliver reliable, quality water; our company strives to provide the best service efficiently. Our commitment also includes being transparent in how we operate. Regulated by the California Public Utilities Commission, we are required by law to fully disclose and justify all expenses that affect our customers and rates. Golden State's proposed rates and expenses are reviewed by the Commission's Division of Ratepayer Advocates and are part of the public ratemaking process. This ensures we are providing the best possible service at the lowest cost. More importantly, rates are designed to promote conservation and are intended to help achieve Claremont's stated conservation goals as well as the State of California's mandated 20 percent per-capital reduction in water use by the year 2020. Sustainability is critical and we work to promote water conservation. CBS Channel 2 in Los Angeles aired what it called an investigative report on our company and the Claremont water system. This is the same station and reporter that has done similar stories about other public water providers serving Southern California. The reporter, David Goldstein, demanded an interview with Golden State President & CEO Robert Sprowls without offering any basic information that would allow for us to facilitate the request. We asked the reporter to address water usage as a legitimate issue in his story but he did not do so. He only highlighted a customer stating to have a $598.98 monthly bill without any discussion about consumption. To reach this amount, the customer would have used an extraordinary 93,500 gallons of water, which is almost seven times the average for a Southern California family and almost five times more water than the average 1-inch Claremont customer. Additionally, the customer would have paid approximately $30.79 in Claremont Utility Taxes for the one-month period. We provided Goldstein with infor-

mation on rates, infrastructure investments and water consumption and offered to meet with him to review the material and to address any additional questions. We continued to try and work with him, offering an unrestricted interview with Golden State's company spokesperson. Mr. Goldstein refused. The report that was aired did not address the issue of water consumption. We explained to Mr. Goldstein that usage drives the customers' bill and that the average Claremont customer with a 5/8 inch meter uses approximately 9,724 gallons of water and pays $58.74 per month. Customers with larger lots and 1-inch connections use approximately 19,448 gallons of water and are charged $132.44 per month. We provided him with a map of the community that showed overall water usage. We disclosed that customer bills also include a city-mandated 5.5 percent Claremont Utility Tax, which for the average 5/8 inch customer amounts to approximately $38 per year and $86 for average 1-inch users. Based on the report, we dont believe his goal was information, as illustrated by his decision to instead film Mr. Sprowls at his home and then ambush and confront him outside his doctor's office. Despite the circumstances, Mr. Sprowls answered every question. Following the interview, at Mr. Sprowls direction, GSWC disclosed to Mr. Goldstein 2011 travel, lodging and meal expenses for the Board of Directors, confirmed Mr. Sprowlscompensation and the amount of his salary that is within the rate structure. The total for the salary and these expenses, amounts to approximately $2 per-customer, per year. Moreover, the company did not reimburse officers for health or country club memberships. Ultimately, we bring this to your attention so that you can be aware of the facts. We are proud of the service we provide and the transparency with which we operate. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. We value our relationships with customers and community leaders and want you to be informed. Sincerely, Denise Kruger Senior Vice President

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

Educating religious leaders for a multireligious world


All are invited to a public panel of national experts on educating religious leaders for a multi-religious world on Monday, October 8 from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Mudd Theater. Claremont Lincoln University Provost Philip Clayton will moderate the panel, which includes: Rabbi Nancy FuchsKreimer, Dr. Azizah El-Hibri, Dr. Paul F. Knitter, Dr. Henrietta Mann and Dr. Anantanand Rambachan. The leaders are in town for a Parliament conference that brings 17 religious educators from a variety of faith traditions to discuss how interreligious training can be enhanced for preparing leaders in their own religious tradition and stimulated in religious communities around the world. The project builds on a program established at the Parliament of the Worlds Religions in Australia in 2009. Info: www.claremontlincoln.org.

Pilates philosophy the inspiration for Bourne Pilates Studio


What would inspire an accomplished dancer to take up Pilates? For Julia Bourne, owner of the newly-opened Bourne Pilates Studio in Upland, the answer is spending over 10 years cruising the Caribbean as a professional dancer on a cruise ship. Pilates encompasses body, mind and spirit and can truly get your whole life in sync, Ms. Bourne explained. Its more than simply exercise. People who do Pilates regularly feel they have better posture, are less prone to injury, and

experience better overall health. Ms. Bourne, a STOTT Pilates instructor trainer, spent several years in New York, plying her craft before moving to southern California where she helped build a successful program at a nearby health club. Ms. Bourne recently opened her own studio on Monte Vista Avenue, which is equipped with state-of-the-art STOTT Pilates equipment. The goal of Pilates is to improve mental and physical well-being, increasing flexibility and strengthening muscles through controlled movements either done as mat exercises or with equipment. Ms. Bournes studio, 1164 Monte
