I attended my first National Newspaper Association (NNA) annual conference last week in Charleston, South Carolina. Being it was kind of a nice city to visit, thats the excuse I gave to my wife as to why I wanted to attend. I also thought it was time to mingle not only with other leaders in the industry, but with people who publish newspapers just like the COURIER. The conference started with some larger general meetings, but it was the smaller breakout sessions that covered key topics like news content (especially city and school affairs), increasing advertising revenue, circulation tips, selling to new customers, online marketing and, of course, the biggie, United States Post Office regulations. Vendors from all over the country were on hand, selling printing and graphics software to canned editorial content that looked like it was local news. Even the post office had a booth. I walked up to the lady there and asked her if the attendees were being nice (just about every community newspaper publisher has issues with USPS.) She said for the most part people were respectful and then happily showed me their updated website with new information on postal regulations. When I asked whether they had any plans to show the
website to local postmasters, who have a nationwide reputation for not knowing postal regulations for newspapers, the smile from her face vanished as she pushed the computer screen away. From then on, questions about the future of Saturday delivery, or price increases, were met with a grouchy no comment. Guess my work was done here. Even with all the tough business news for the newspaper industry over the past few years, the mood of the participants was very good. Like the COURIER, a large percentage of community newspapers are doing quite well because of their niche content. And many of these papers serve communities smaller than Claremont. Ive always said a local newspaper can be the best gauge of how the economy is doing, because advertisers are the small businesses that fuel the economy. Business in small town America has improved. I can say for us, this is clearly the case,

CITY NEWS
Local tourism group hopes consumers discover Claremont
s officials across the region are seeing red in their city budgets, a local organization of hospitality professionals is continuing to employ new marketing plans in order to keep Claremont in the black.
Claremonts Tourism Business Improvement District (BID), a coalition of Claremont hotel and motel managers, is marching forward with its latest plan to attract consumers to Claremont. Discover Claremont Weekends, a new program offered jointly by BID and Metrolink, offers a package deal with round-trip tickets to Claremont and a room reservation at any of the 5 Claremont hotels through December 31. Nearly 3 years since the district was approved, BID continues its mission of leveraging marketing dollars to promote Claremont tourism. Its still a work in progress, but [the BID] has provided an arena for businesses, hotels and the city to really promote itself, said Andrew Behnke, co-founder of the Tourism BID and general manager of Claremonts Doubletree Hotel. With the elimination of the redevelopment agency, money the city once had to help promote itself has now dried up. On the periphery, the [BID] is a way to help continue to promote Claremont. Since its formation, the Tourism BID has introduced a series of new programs under its marketing plan Discover Claremont in an effort to market the local community to the masses. The BID hopes its push for tourism will give an extra boost to the local economy. So far, the strategy has arguably proven effective. Since the Tourism BID started in 2010, the city has seen an increase of nearly $200,000 generated from room occupancy taxes. There has been a significant increase, said Finance Director Adam Pirrie, though it is unclear whether that is a result of the BID or a rebound in the economy. You can probably make a claim for both, but revenues have definitely increased since BID. With its latest incentive programs like Discover Claremont Weekends, the BID hopes to build upon its current track record, according to Ron Antonette, a Discover Claremont spokesperson. This is a real opportunity for us to make an impact, Mr. Antonette said. Our Discover Claremont packages, where we are providing [hotel and motel] guests with an opportunity to shop and dine and stay in town, is a real opportunity for us to promote and draw interest to other areas of our city. The Claremont Tourism BID was established in October 2009 with the goal of promoting the citys economic development. With the uncertainty of the economic climate, business professionals in the city felt it was necessary to establish a marketing plan to ensure Claremonts financial future. Other California cities have implemented similar programsfor instance,

Newport Beach (2009), Temecula (2005) and Carlsbad (2005)and Claremont followed suit. With sales tax declining, especially in the auto arena, it provides a way to make up for that, Mr. Behnke said, adding that the revenue generated from occupancy tax has a much more direct impact than sales, going directly to the city. Former Councilmember Peter Yao moved for BIDs approval with unanimous support from his fellow councilmembers. There was an interest in obtaining some funding for regional advertising for Claremont at the time, and the Chamber and hotels came together to support this effort, said Councilmember Corey Calaycay who, as city mayor at the time of the decision, added his support to the BID. With the districts establishment, in addition to the 10 percent occupancy tax, a 2 percent charge was added to each rented hotel room. Though there was initial fear that the tax would dissuade people from staying in Claremont, the numbers seem to tell a different story. There was some fear that people wouldnt want to pay the 2 percent and would look outside the city [for hotels], but that doesnt appear to be a factor based on hotel occupancy, Mr. Pirrie said. For fiscal year 2009-2010, the citys hotel occupancy tax brought in $784,380, according to Mr. Pirrie. The
following fiscal year, the revenue rose to $917,377. By 2011-2012, it had risen to a little over $1 million. Money raised through the 2 percent tax is given back to BID on a quarterly basis to continue marketing efforts, which include printing costs, television and online advertising. Whereas some are not completely sold on changing the small-town feel that is Claremont, Mr. Antonette believes it is helping Claremont weather the turbulent economic climate. We have more than 80 restaurants and pubs, dozens of which are locally-owned and can really benefit from an increase in foot traffic and people bringing their dollars to Claremont, Mr. Antonette said. Having [the BID] here to support them is a good thing. With occupancy rates going upward, BIDs plans move forward. In addition to Metrolink incentives, BID continues to plug gift certificate incentivesevery hotel room in Claremont comes with the bonus of $100 in gift certificates to use at Claremont businesses. Weve had our best summer ever, Mr. Behnke said of business at his hotel, which he believes to be a result of the Discover Claremont marketing, both in print and online. Im sure there is a correlation. [The BID] is working. For more on the citys Discover Claremont campaign, visit www.discoverclaremont.com.

even though we had lean times like most businesses during the recession. But that doesnt mean community newspapers have not had to change and adapt. All have websites at varying levels, with some using a paywall for subscribers only, or posting only part of the newspaper content online. Theres a clear understanding people want to access information online, and that includes using a tablet or smart phone. I was surprised at how many small papers have developed apps for smart phones, something the COURIER will do early next year. The world is defi-
nitely going digital and portable, but that doesnt mean the printed page is obsolete. Publishers were stunned at the number of Facebook followers we hadalmost 2100 and growing. Its obvious readers simply want choices on how to access information. Like larger newspaper companies, community papers have tried to diversify by publishing special sections, books, event marketing and, of course, website advertising. One paper produced a 300-page coffee table book with current and historical photos of Las Cruces, New Mexico. It has generated $125,000 so far. Hmmm. One breakout session focused on
website revenue. You can imagine it was very well-attended. But even with all the new and wonderful approaches people were taking, many of which are part of the COURIER website, it seemed every answer to Are you making money? had an asterisk attached because the newspaper was picking up some of the expenses to publish. I left Charleston charged up and ready to go. I hope the staff doesnt roll their eyes as they read this. And what about the 2 great ideas from all those publishers? You all will just have to wait and see.

COURIERphoto/Steven Felschundneff Democratic candidate for California State Assembly Chris Holden asks a group of students at Sumner Elementary School if they like sports during an assembly for Mr. Holden on Friday. Mr. Holden told the students how his experience traveling to Spain as a high school basketball player exposed him to other cultures and eventually led him to public service.
Candidate discusses political priorities with Sumner students
ixth graders at Sumner Elementary School caught election fever last Friday when state Assembly candidate Chris Holden stopped by for a morning chat.
Mr. Holden, a Pasadena city councilman, is vying for a seat in the 41st Assembly District in the November election against Republican Donna Lowe, who spoke to Sumner students several weeks ago. These visits were arranged by 6th grade teacher Joe Tonan to complement the government component of the students curriculum. Mr. Holden, a Democrat, confined his presentation largely to non-partisan issues. He began by sharing a little about his background. Much of his success comes from opportunities offered to him at a time when money for school enrichment was plentiful. Mr. Holden, whose 6-foot-8 height impressed his young audience, played on the basketball teams at Pasadena High School and San Diego State University. Im a product of afterschool programs. Thats how I learned to play basketball, and how kids of my generation learned to play an instrument, he told the COURIER in an interview after his talk concluded. There were arts and crafts programs. They dont have that anymore, certainly not across the board. Devastating cuts in recent years have also precluded students from going on the large number of field trips he enjoyed as a student, Mr. Holden said. We were usually going to places where we were exposed to real-life situations, where what we might be studying

in the classroom became practical and hands-on, he emphasized. I dont think I would ever have gone to the Altadena Dairy to see cows milked if it werent for those kinds of opportunities. Mr. Holden stressed to the children how important it is for todays teachers and students to enjoy the same level of support. These are the decisions that go on in Sacramento currently, he said. Things like making sure music and the arts are being taught in the public schools, and that kids have an opportunity to take field tripseven come to Sacramento to see how things are run. Mr. Holden is the son of Los Angeles politician Nate Holden, who served 4 years in the California Senate and 16 years on the Los Angeles City Council. His dad, Mr. Holden recalled, used to drag his 2 sons to various political
events. We were bored to tears, he halfjoked. The only fun we had was when there was food. Eventually, however, Mr. Holden began to understand how the political system worked, and a path opened up for him. I made connections about how I can give back to my community, how I can become more of a servant in my community. Mr. Holden encouraged the students to find a similar role model in their lives, be it a parent or teacher, who can help them figure out what they want to do in the future. Mr. Holdenwho was first elected to the Pasadena City Council at age 28 and in 1997 was elected mayor next discussed the state budget, striving to convey a complex subject in a way that was meaningful for the children. He asked which kids got an allowance
and, when a number of students raised their hands, Mr. Holden told them, Thats your revenue, like the state gets its revenue. Like any government entity, the promise of receiving funds behooves the students to be responsible and accountable, he said. When your parents tell you to clean your room and they come back 30 minutes later and its not clean, there are consequences for not doing what you have to do, according to Mr. Holden. Its the same thing for adults. We have to be held accountable as well to perform certain services to make sure things are done to ensure everyones well-being. When Mr. Holden asked the youths what they spend their money on, one student informed him that he saves his allowance, spurring congratulations from the councilman: Good, we dont do enough of that. Most students, however, said they spend their money on the things they want most. So, Mr. Holden asserted, If you want to buy some comic books, you cant spend all of your money on candy. Thats prioritizing, he said. At the end of a presentation in which the aspiring assemblyman stressed local priorities such as the eastward extension of the Gold Line light rail system, Mr. Holden asked the kids to give their parents a reminder with regards to November 6. They may or not vote for meI hope they dobut ask them to get out to the polls and vote, from the President to my office, he said. We need them

EDUCATION
Condit, Mountain View results were a mix of hit and miss
ow are our schools doing? Its a crucial question answered annually by the Single Plan for Student Achievement, a report public schools are required to present to their respective school boards and communities.
Condit and Mountain View Elementary were the first local schools to deliver their SPSAs this year, presenting at the October 4 meeting of the Claremont Unified School District Board of Education. Delegations from each site delivered an update on the achievements and challenges of the 2011-2012 school year and the schools plans for the coming year. The news was largely positive. Kudos are in order for the students and staff of Condit Elementary School for not only meeting, but exceeding their primary goal last year. Administration and staff aimed to have 78.4 percent of students proficient or advanced in the English Language Arts portion of the California Standards Test, and 79 percent proficient or better in math. Some 82.3 percent of 2nd through 6th graders at Condit managed to net proficient or advanced scores in the ELA portion of the standards, Principal Christine Mallaly and her staff noted. In the math section, 86 percent of students achieved proficient or advanced scores. The school also aimed to close the achievement gap by having significant subgroups of its populationnotably Hispanic and socio-economically disadvantaged studentsimprove their state testing scores. The results were mixed. For 2011-2012, Condit set a goal of 79 percent proficiency among Hispanic students in the mathematics portion of state testing, a 0.5 increase from the previous year. In fact, Hispanic students showed even greater improvement, with 80.3 percent achieving proficient or advanced levels in math.
The less positive news was the achievement between Hispanic and white students widened in the area of English Language Arts, with proficiency levels falling from 78.5 percent to 74 percent. The performance of socio-economically disadvantaged (SED) students on California Standards Tests displayed similar trends. Students in BOARD this subgroup also improved in REPORT math, increasing from a 66.7 percent proficiency rate to 72.3 percent. English Language Arts testing again proved to be a challenge, with only 54.4 percent of SED students scoring at proficient or advanced rates, down from the 70.1 percent achieved the previous year. Condit managed to meet school-wide Academic Performance Index (API) expectations, and raised API among 2 significant subgroups, Hispanic and white students. The API is the California accountability system that measures the progress of a school or district based on the results of statewide tests, essentially boiling the schools performance down to a number. The overall API at Condit grew an estimated 6 points, from 919 to 925, over the course of the 2011 school year. Results for the 2012 school year will be released in October, as will official results for 2011. After the report, board member Steven Llanusa complimented the Condit team on their schools API improvement. Youve got all the low-hanging fruits, and youre really stretching to the upper levels of achievement, he said. Mountain View Elementary School had less success than Condit in meeting its primary goal for the 20112012 school year, which was to raise the number of students who are proficient or advanced in English Language Arts from 70.8 percent to 78.4 percent. While the school did not reach the desired proficiency levels in the ELA portion of standardized testing,
students did make significant growth, reaching a 74.8 percent proficiency level, according to Principal Clara Dehmer and her team. In the math portion of the California Standards Test, staff at Mountain View had hoped to increase the number of students who are proficient or advanced from 69.8 percent to 79 percent. While they did not reach this goal, proficiency in mathematics did grow to 73.9 percent. Last year, Mountain View established a third primary goal, targeting success rates among socio-economically disadvantaged students. In English Language Arts, the plan was to increase proficiency rates by 3.3 percent, reaching 70.2 percent. In math, the school shot for a 3.7 percent increase in math in order to reach 67.2 percent. SED students achieved the desired hike in ELA proficiency rates but missed their math goal by .7 percent. The fact they did not meet certain proficiency goals may be partially explained by variability within particular student populations, but the teams at both school are focusing on remedies rather than excuses. Each school shared their plans to focus on areas that need improvement in the coming year, including additional support for all struggling students and a targeted approach at raising test scores among significant subgroups. Mountain Views estimated API growth was healthy last year, increasing from 857 to 863 in 2011 and from 862 to 881 in 2012. Official results will be released in October. Mr. Llanusa said he was particularly impressed with the API growth at Mountain View given the current state of affairs, noting the growth was made with fewer resources because of the terrible climate. The reports were a model of accountability, according to school board president Jeff Stark. Its nice when you just come out and say what you need to work on, he said.

OSHA dings Claremont High for violations
to participate until such time as you guys can participate. The students asked Mr. Holden a number of questions after his presentation, including what he would do as an assemblyman to help the homeless. I told them theres a role that the government can play and that theres also a greater community that can participate in some of the problem-solving, he said. We all can play a part in that role, all of you today. On Thanksgiving, who goes with their family to feed the homeless? Not all of what can be fixed is going to initiate within the walls of the legislature or city council, he continued. It can begin within the 4 walls of your home, with your family agreeing to make a difference. Some 100 students from 3 classes attended Mr. Holdens talk. Mr. Tonan feels the kids have definitely been impacted by the candidates discussions. Were going to be having school elections this month, and Ive already had a couple students express interest in running for student body president.

employment organizations (aka: Union). I have a different opinion. According to the analysis by the Legislative Analyst in my voting guide, a yes vote would 1) Prohibit unions, corporations and government contractors from using payroll-deducted funds for political purposes. 2) Permits voluntary employee contributions to employer-sponsored committees or union controlled committees if authorized annually by the employee in writing. 3) Prohibits unions and corporations from contributing directly or indirectly to candidates and candidate controlled committees. 4) Prohibits government contractor contributions to elected officers or officer-controlled committees from the time their contract is being considered until the date their contract expires. As a government profession services contractor, I have lost several projects to unscrupulous competitors who I believe have paid to paly through backroom deals whereby elected officials have received significant campaign donations and then magically these competitors have received government contracts. Proposition 32 would end such a practice and allow the best contractor with the best value to the public entity to get the project, not the one who agrees to financially donate to a politician. Many politicians are shameless in their insistence of paying to play and current law makes it very difficult to prohibit this practice; thus the public becomes the end loser. I also believe that each voter must have the right to choose whether or not

We cannot allow any organization (public or private) to pay to play and contribute to a political campaign whereby that organization receives a windfall of public tax dollars. Public tax dollars need to be spent frugally and in the best interest of the public good. I urge a yes vote on Proposition 32 to limit the control that special interest organizations have in the expenditures of our tax dollars. Politicians need to make decisions based upon what is best for the public good, not what is good for their campaign finances.

CUSDs Prop 30 endorsement is misguided

by Jeff Hammill
believe the Claremont school boards unanimous endorsement of Proposition 30 is proof that our board members are victims of the Stockholm Syndrome.
This is not intended to disparage any individual board member or even the board as a whole, for they truly are captives. The board is the governments first line of defense against angry parents and teachers unions. Yet Sacramento and Washington DC dictate the policy and control the purse strings. When was the last time you got to complain about education policy to a member of the assembly or congress at Trader Joes or on the soccer field? Our school board and our schools are at the mercy of Sacramento. Mary, Steven, Jeff, Hilary and Sam dont control the policy or the money. When we acknowledge that fact, their endorsement of Proposition 30 sounds like one of those resigned-to-theirplight hostage videos: please meet
our captors (in this case Governor Brown and the state Legislature) demands or terrible things will happen to us. How cynical can Sacramento get? First, the funds allegedly raised by Proposition 30 are based on certain economic assumptions, and we know how well that has worked in recent years. Second, the proposition does not guarantee the funds taken in will go to education. What the legislature and Governor Brown have done is prepare a budget based on an assumption that the tax increase will pass (thats a little like making a major purchase based on the assumption your boss is going to give you a big raise next year, isnt it?). Then, in a cynical exercise of political power, the governor and his allies have then turned around and said: If it doesnt pass, the kids will get hurt. If you support Proposition 30, you are buying into the notion that politicians in Sacramento are really going to do what they say they are going to do. Oh, please. I agree that there have been significant cuts to public educa-
tion in recent years. Perhaps those cuts have been too deep. What there has not been is a significant cut in the state of Californias overall spending. Sacramento continues to be bloated and wasteful and now tries to use our children as pawns to support their bad behavior. Enough is enough. Okay, Jeff, you dont like Prop 30, so what do we do about education funding? First, we stop supporting politicians of both parties who simply tell us they want to spend or invest more in education. Thats too simple and not realistic in todays economic environment. Second, we must reconsider the Prop 98 funding guarantee. This has provided inadequate education funding in the lean years, but over-funded education in the years when the state was flush with cash. The needs on the ground and the peoples ability to pay should dictate the level of funding, not some arbitrary percentage resulting from a well-crafted initiative campaign.
VIEWPOINT
Third, the recent pro Measure CL campaign correctly identified local control as an important issue. Billions of dollars are hijacked by Sacramento and Washington. An administrative fee is taken, then it is doled back to the states and localities with a slew of rules, regulations and mandates. This is incredibly wasteful and inefficient. Arent we here in Claremont capable of deciding the best way to allocate education funding? Do we need to make sure that children in Mississippi are as prepared for the world as children in Utah? Yes. Do we need to make sure they eat the same lunch with a Washington-dictated calorie count? No. Proposition 30 represents more of the same. It continues Sacramentos hostage taking of our local school boards. It doesnt really do what its proponents promise. It avoids any discussion of real education reform. Lets make Sacramento deal with the real issues, not kick the can down the road. No on 30.
CORRECTION In the Saturday, October 6th edition of the COURIER, The Basics sidebar for the Claremont Heritage Home Tour preview (page 17) incorrectly lists the date of the tour. The correct date of the event is this Sunday, October 14 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. We apologize for the error.

out parole, is trailing 38 percent to 51 percent. What in the world are we thinking? If passed, Proposition 34 would save our financially-strapped state government $1 billion in 5 years, directing $100 million to law enforcement to solve more rapes and murders. It would guarantee that convicted killers would spend life in prison with absolutely no chance of parole. It would require convicted killers to work and pay restitution to the victims compensation fund. And, extremely importantly, it would guarantee we will never execute
Dear Editor: What is wrong with us, anyway?? The LA Times (September 30) reports that Proposition 34, the bid to replace the states death penalty with life with-
another innocent person. Proposition 34 provides a win-win situation. Even Don Heller who wrote the law, Ron Biggs, who was the chief campaigner for the law in 1978, and his father, a former State Senator, all now say the law was a huge mistake. Does it give closure to the victims families? There is no proof that it does. Rather, it traps survivors in decades of mandatory appeals, forcing them to relive the trauma over and over. The death penalty gives a false promise to victims. Lets all work to see that Proposition 34 is passed into law!

Maureen McKaveney
Devoted church worker, lover of all things Irish
Maureen Lacey McKaveney, a Claremont resident for more than 40 years, died at her home here on September 29, 2012 following some 10 months of illness. Mrs. McKaveney was 83 years of age. The daughter of John and Mary Agnes Lacey was born in Clifden, Ireland on May 25, 1929. She came to the United States at the age of 20 and settled in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It was there that she met and married the love of her life, Dr. James Jimmy Darling McKaveney, on June 14, 1952 at St. Philomenas Catholic Church in Pittsburgh. She was quite active in the parish, where she focused on the ministry of vocations and the needs of the clergy. Mrs. McKaveney was also very active in the Irish Gaelic Arts Society and the Irish Center of Pittsburgh. She and her husband, who had a doctoral degree in chemistry and worked in the industry before becoming a college professor, had 2 children while living in Pittsburgh. The family moved to California in March of 1969 and settled in Claremont. Mrs. McKaveney immediately joined Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Church (OLA) in Claremont. She continued her devotion to the vocations and clergy, served as a Eucharistic minister and assisting with the organization of masses, lecturing and the youth ministry. She was soon known affectionately at OLA as Mama Maureen. She loved singing, Irish dancing, cooking and praying the rosary several times daily. She also played bridge with a group of friends. Mrs. McKaveney was predeceased by her husband Jimmy in 1988. She is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, John and Kathleen McKaveney of San Diego, and their children, Sean, Caelle and Cade; by her daughter, Elizabeth McKaveney, and her son, Brendan, of Virginia; and by her siblings, Brodie Gerstel of Anaheim, Cecilia Lacey of Exeter, New Hampshire, Alice Ring of Anaheim and Rita Marino of Newcastle, Pennsylvania as well as a sister, Ann, and brother Laurence of Ireland. Services for Mrs. McKaveney included a Rosary Vigil and viewing on October 9, followed by a Funeral Mass at 10 a.m. on October 10, 2012 at OLA, preceded by a second viewing at 9 a.m. Graveside services at Oak Park Cemetery are planned immediately following the mass. Given her devotion to vocations for the priesthood, the family asked that in lieu of flowers or gifts, donations be made in the name of Maureen McKaveney to St. Johns Seminary, Office of Advancement, 5012 Seminary Rd., Camarillo, CA 93012.
Margaret Edwards-Brown
Mother, Jungian analyst, music lover
Margaret Edwards-Brown, a longtime Claremonter, died on September 27, 2012 at the Mount San Antonio Gardens retirement community, where she had lived for the last 10 years. Ms. Edwards-Brown was born on July 5, 1924 in McLouth, Kansas to Harold and Ellwyn Steeper. The daughter of a banker and a homemaker, she grew up with one younger brother and a proud family legacy. Ms. Edwards-Brown was the greatniece of Orville and Wilbur Wright, the inventors of the airplane. She knew Orville throughout her youth and was quite proud of her famous uncles, participating in many Wright Brothers events throughout her life. As a college freshman, Ms. EdwardsBrown left McLouth for Baldwin, Kansas, where she attended Baker University. When her family moved to Lawrence, Kansas, she transferred to Kansas University, where she graduated with a bachelors in music education. While at Kansas University, she met her first husband, Robert Woolf Edwards, who was studying to be a physician. They were married in 1946, with Uncle Orville love of music, from classical to jazz. She enjoyed singing and playing piano, and delighted in performing with her husband and 2 children in a barbershop quartet known as The Edchords. The Edwards family also enjoyed traveling and once spent an entire summer touring through the United States and Canada in their RV. Faith was also central to Ms. EdwardsBrowns life. She was an original member of the Claremont Methodist church until 1970, when her spiritual interests led her to the Quakers (Religious Society of Friends), of which she was a core member for the rest of her life. Dr. Edwards died at 56 in 1981. By that time, Ms. Edwards-Brown was an active Jungian analyst, having attended Claremont Graduate University and Pitzer College for her masters degree in educational psychology and received certification through the C. G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles. She had a private practice until 2002, counseling clients in Claremont and Los Angeles. Ms. Edwards-Brown traveled avidly, from the Galapagos Islands to Europe, and even studied briefly at the Jung Institute in Zurich, Switzerland. In October of 1990, she met the next love of her life, Robert James Sidford Brown, in a folk dance group. They wed on February 13, 1993 and remained happily married for the rest of her life. Mr. Brown worked in research as a physicist with Chevron for 33 years. Since retirement, he has worked in research with colleagues at the University of Bologna, Italy. The couple lived in Claremont until moving to Mt. San Antonio Gardens in 2002. Ms. Edwards-Brown continued to live an active life up until the very end, traveling this past June to Dayton, Ohio to attend a commemoration of the centennial of Wilbur Wrights death. My mother was a person of many dimensions, her son Paul said. She had a rich life full of discovery, love and growth. Ms. Edwards-Brown is survived her husband, Bob Brown, by her 2 children, Paul and Cynthia Edwards, and by her grandchildren, Brian and Leana Edwards. Services will be held on October 20 at 2 p.m. at the Claremont Friends Meeting House, 727 Harrison Ave., Claremont.

They moved west later that year, first to San Diego and then, in 1954, to west Los Angeles, where they lived for the next 8 years. In 1962, they moved inland to Claremont, where Dr. Edwards became one of the physicians for the Claremont Colleges. Ms. Edwards-Brown had a lifelong
OBITUARIES
Helen Burke
Artist, mother, crossword puzzle maven
Helen Burke, a longtime resident of Pomona and Claremont, died peacefully on October 4 following complications from a stroke. She was 89. Ms. Burke was born on February 15, 1923 to Lithuanian immigrants, Anthony and Mary Lopat, who came to America in the early 1900s seeking opportunity and refuge from war-torn Europe. They settled in Tolleston, Indiana and later moved to nearby Crown Point, where they raised their 3 children, Stanley, Joseph and Helen. True to the American immigrant tradition, Mr. and Ms. Lopat came to the United States with no English skills, working as a manual laborer and hotel maid, respectively. Mr. Lopat later landed a coveted job in the steel mills, which he held throughout the Depression. As a result of tireless hard work and thrift, they eventually purchased their own farm and provided educational opportunities for all 3 children. Stanley became a physician and settled in Upland; Joseph, an engineer, remained in Indiana; and Helen, always artistically inclined, became a successful commercial artist. Although Ms. Burkes parents encouraged education and pursuit of the American dream, they were initially skeptical of their daughters aspirations toward an artistic career. So she volunteered for the Womens Army Corps during World War II and used the educational benefits from the G.I. Bill to attend a commercial art school. Ms. Burke characterized her time in the husband, Frank. The Burkes settled in the new community of Westmont in Pomona. While raising 3 young children, they worked for local businesses, including General Dynamics, and were active in the Pomona Elks Club. Mr. Burke ran for Pomona City Council in 1965 (he came in second place). In 1967, the family relocated to Claremont, where they fell in love with the college townits culture, beauty, and warm, friendly people. In the 1970s, Ms. Burke began working at Pomona College in the alumni office. After decades as a fulltime mom, she also picked up her brushes again, returning to her artistic pursuits. Ms. Burke retired in the 1980s and later moved to the Claremont Villas Senior Apartments, enjoying her many new friends and easy access to the Village until she suffered a debilitating stroke in 2008. Many knew Ms. Burke as a regular at the Village Grille, where she was one of the first to arrive each day, ready for her morning coffee, toast, crossword puzzle and lively conversation with friends at the counter. She loved people and was generous with her time and talents. As word of Ms. Burkes artistic ability spread, she often received requests for family portraits, which she never declined. Well into her 80s, she produced many beautiful oil paintings for a nominal fee for anyone who asked. She was also known as a crossword puzzle maven, and became a repository for friends unused puzzle pages. Ms. Burke was so good that she was approached by Korean immigrant neighbors to help them learn English through the use of crossword puzzles, which she did gladly. She also served as a volunteer for Claremonts hospice program, and helped many families care for loved ones during their final season of life. Ms. Burke will be missed for her beauty inside and out, her strong values, her devotion to faith and family and her cheerful and generous disposition, according to her family. After a lifetime of serving others, she leaves us with warm, happy memories, as well as a collection of paintings and drawings to serve as a legacy of her extraordinary artistic ability to be enjoyed for generations, her daughter, Arleen, said. The family would like to express their deep appreciation to the nurses and staff at Inland Christian Home in Ontario for their loving, compassionate care during Ms. Burkes illness. Ms. Burke was preceded in death by her husband, Arley, in 2002. She is survived by her children, Arleen, Carol and Bill, and by her grandchildren, Coretta, Mitchell, Kirstie and Kyle. All those who would like to join in a celebration of Ms. Burkes life are invited to a service in her memory, to be held at Our Lady of Assumption Catholic Church in Claremont on Thursday, October 11 at 9:30 a.m.
service, which she spent working in various offices, as easy. It was nothing, she would say, after working on a farm under the strict supervision of her mother. After the war, Ms. Burke worked at an art studio in Chicago, commuting by train from the family farm. As her work became published in newspapers throughout the Chicago area, she and her family recognized not only the visual beauty of her artistic talent but also the fulfillment of a successful career. In her early 20s, she met Arley Burke and they married in 1949. In 1953, the couple decided to move to California, following Ms. Burkes brother, Stanley, who had opened his medical practice in Upland, and Jewel, Mr. Burkes sister, who had moved to Riverside with her

South Hills overpowers CHS in high scoring loss
he Wolfpack hung tough with South Hills on Friday night, but the Huskies took advantage of breakdowns in coverage to win the game by the score of 42-27.
Claremont traded touchdowns with South Hills for most of the first half and forced a couple of turnovers, but was unable to consistently break down South Hills defense. Coach Mike Collins was proud of his team: We executed our game plan very well against a strong team. Our defense played great against their powerful offense, but we eventually ran out of steam. Wolfpack quarterback Craig Myers and his offense came flying out of the blocks. Myers completed 4 of 5 passes all to different receivers on the opening drive. This set up running back Cecil Flemings opening touchdown run from a yard out. Two possessions later, South Hills tied the score with a long drive of their own. Claremonts offense was stymied after its hot start, with Myers pass on the third possession being batted into the air and picked off for the first turnover of the game. Special teams players also made some big plays. South Hills punt returner mishandled 2 long punts in a row, but Claremont was unable to wrangle back possession. During one punt, Wolfpack Chris-
tian Bagnerise timed his tackle to perfection. At the exact moment the Huskies returner caught the punt, Bagnerise launched his shoulders at his midsection. It was a clean hit. The ball was jarred loose, but South Hills was able to recover. The play injected lifeblood into the CHS defense. Two plays later, defensive tackle Andrew Hwang shoved off his blocker, got into the backfield and brought down the quarterback for a sack. With 2 minutes left in the half, Hwang once again got the quarterback. This resulted in a forced pass, and nose guard Hector Meza was right there to intercept the ball. Claremont took over possession on South Hills 42-yard line. Myers dropped back on second down, saw his receivers covered and scrambled 35 yards to make it first and goal for CHS. He then hit Paul Manus on a slant to even the score at 14, with the travelling fans going wild. But on the next play, South Hills kick returner Jacob Farias broke right through Claremonts kickoff coverage unit and took the ball to the house for a score. Their big kickoff return touchdown was what killed us a little bit, Coach Collins said after the game. Instead of going into halftime with the momentum, we gave it right back to them. However, the Wolfpack were will only down one possession, and still had a shot at beating the num-
ber 2 ranked team in the division. The game lost its elasticity in the second half, as both teams defenses raised their standard of play. After a South Hills rushed for a touchdown, Myers hit Fleming in the flat with a short pass. Fleming did the rest. He juked past a couple of tacklers and sprinted 65 yards for the score. It was now 28-20 to South Hills. In the fourth quarter, Claremont ran into more trouble. Myers looked to convert an important third down, but his pass was picked off again. The Huskies ran the interception back for pick-six touchdown. With the wind in their sails lost, Claremont gave up another big play when Goss found his running back Benny Garcia for a 40-yard touchdown pass. Claremont got a consolation score when Myers tucked the ball and ran it in. Claremont will face a Damien Spartans team coming off of back-to-back losses in which they conceded at least 40 points in each. Damien is expected to favor their running game, averaging almost twice as many rushes than Claremont per game. Running back Travion Boykins and receiver Josh Savage have come up with Damiens big plays this season. The game is this Friday, October 12 at 7 p.m. at the Spartans Dick Larson Stadium.

Claremont water bill primer

Breaking down your bill to make sense of the charges
s Claremont officials are busy working through details of the potential water acquisitiondue before the council in closed session Tuesday, October 23some residents are finding themselves equally occupied attempting to decode the terminology in their water bills.
We get an email at least once a week with questions on water bills, said Hal Hargrave of the grassroots organization Claremonters Against Outrageous Water Rates. He noted that questions range from inquiries about acronyms to why billing periods change. Its all very confusing and its hard to interpret, Mr. Hargrave said. With the details in Claremonts water bills as varied and numerous as the questions running through residents heads, Golden State officials sat down with the COURIER to answer questions surrounding the average water bill. Foothill District Manager Ben Lewis, Community Education Manager John Dewey and Julia Rivas, customer service representative for the city of Claremont, participated in the discussion. Recognizing the confusion surrounding the topic of water, officials say your water bills latest formatnow 4 pages long and updated with more detailis based on the rationale that more is better. The whole idea is to give the customer a lot of information right away...their history of usage and their current usage, Mr. Lewis said. The first page is a summary of the monthly statement. The second page gives information about the California Public Utilities Commission and an explanation of some of the basic terms like CCF, the standard measurement of water. The third page breaks down the charges in greater detail, and the last page explains the reasons behind these charges. Switching up rate schedules A bill may be broken up into 2 different rate schedules if something occurred during the pay period to change the price of the CCF. This was the case during the August 15 to September 18 billing period, when an August 27 decision by the CPUC reduced the rates by less than one percent. Consequently, the water bill for that pay period was broken into 2 parts in order for GSW to begin charging customers at the modified rate, according to Ms. Rivas. It can happen when there is a change in the rates, or say this customer moved in on September 1... we would break it up for any customer who has had a change in their billing cycle, she said. Counting water by the numbers It all comes down to the CCF, or standard measurement of water. Monthly payments are based on how many CCFs, or cubic feet, of water are used per household. One CCF or one unit is equal to 748 gallons of water. When we say a customer used 20 units in a given pay period, we mean they used 20 times 748 gallons, or 1500 gallons of water, Mr. Lewis explained. Each customer has a water meter that calculates their monthly usage in these units. Each pay period may vary in lengththe typical pay period is about a month, but could run as long as 34 days, according to Ms. Rivas. This was the case for the service period August 15 to September 18, which took Labor Day weekend into account. Each month, a Golden State official reads the meter and subtracts the number of CCFs displayed on the meter from the number of CCFs recorded in the last pay period in order to determine how much was used for the current billing period.
Just as the amount of water used varies from one customer to another, the size of a water meter varies depending on how much water is typically consumed. The more the customer uses, the larger the meter, Ms. Rivas said. A household that uses more water requires a larger meter. Water meters range in size, but for a typical residence they are either 3-quarter-inch, one inch or five-eighths of an inch. Smaller and larger meters also exist, but a majority of Claremont residents (53 percent) have a one-inch meter, according to Mr. Dewey. The American Water Works Association (AWWA) determines the standards for meter size, according to Mr. Lewis. However, in recent years, as guidelines have become more relaxed, there has been a growing demand and allowance for switching to smaller meters in an effort to cut costs, Ms. Rivas said. Smaller meters accrue fewer service charges and require fewer resources to maintain, lessening the overall cost. Regardless of whether or not a resident requests to change meters or not, the California Public Utility Commission (CPUC) requires that meters be replaced within an allotted time. Meters smaller than one inch must be switched out within 20 years. Oneinch meters are good for a maximum of 15 years. Larger meters expire after 10 years. While the GSW rep will knock on the door to let customers know their water will be shut off for about 30 minutes during work and will leave notice of the repair on the door, no other notice is required. For a variety of reasonswhether upon request, because of an expiration date or due to a break in the metermore than 800 meters within the city of Claremont have been replaced in the past several years, according to Mr. Dewey. In 2009, 474 were replaced, followed by 66 in 2010 and 270 in 2011. With company costs come surcharges Meter costs are just one of the factors that determine a customers service charge. Other factors include operating costs, which can include fixing infrastructure or general payroll. Its how we recover a percentage of our fixed costs, whether you take water or not, Mr. Lewis said. Its the things we do on a
day-to-day basis. We still have to read the meters, we still have to provide service to you on a daily basis, so thats where the service charge comes in. Roughly 30 percent of the total costs accumulated are put into the service charge and allocated to customers. How much a customer pays depends on the meter. Those with larger meters are going to pay more than those with smaller meters. A customer with a three-quarter-inch meter will pay about $23.15 per pay period, while the typical Claremont user with a one-inch meter will pay about $38.55. This difference was determined by a 2006 CPUC decision, with the idea that those with larger meters usually use more water, according to Mr. Dewey. Another typical surcharge relates to the California Alternate Rate for Water (CARW) program. About 9840 people in Golden State Waters Region 3 are a part of CARW, which grants the recipient up to $8 off each water bill. Those 9840 people make up roughly 10 percent of Region 3 customers, according to Mr. Dewey. Those customers who are a part of the program will have a credit in their bill. Those who do not qualify for the deduction are paying for those who do with a charge listed as CARW Prog Adm Surcharge. This fee is charged on a monthly basis. Navigating the tiers Ratepayers are charged for water usage based on a 3-tiered system in an attempt to encourage customers to conserve based on laws enacted by the CPUC, according to Mr. Lewis, who noted that the purpose of the tiered water system is to reduce outside water usage. About 60 to 70 percent of water is used outside the home, he said. In the 3-tiered system, Tier One provides the cheapest water rates, while Tier 3 is the most expensive. For the first 13 CCFs (9742 gallons), a customer is charged at the lowest rate, Tier One. The 13 CCF is based on the average winter usage, Mr. Lewis said. From 14 to 21 CCFs, the customer pays based on the Tier 2 rates, which are 15 percent higher than Tier One. Once the Tier 2 maximum has been exceeded, customers will be charged an addi-
tional 15 percent for every unit of water above 22 CCFs. Its to help encourage customers to conserve where they can, Ms. Rivas said. Calculating WRAM and associated acronyms The combined Water Revenue Adjustment Mechanism (WRAM) and Modified Cost Balancing Account (MCBA) charge is based on the difference between the companys revenues and costs. The WRAM represents the revenue coming in and the MCBA represents the total cost for purchasing water, the power that pumps the water and the pumping tax. The WRAM/MCBA credit and surcharge was created in 2009 as a means of making sure that the company had enough money from its ratepayers to continue business, according to Golden State Water. With state legislation mandating that water companies cut back their customers usage, Golden State officials say they needed to find a way to recover any potential losses. We wanted to make sure we had a way of keeping ourselves whole to cover our fixed costs, Mr. Dewey said. Every March, Golden State reviews whether the companys projected costs for that year align with the revenue it ended up receiving. If Golden States revenues exceeded their costs, the extra money is given back to the customer in the form of a WRAM/MCBA credit. If they lost revenue, it comes up on the bill as a WRAM/MCBA surcharge, which is charged on a monthly basis until the full amount is paid back. The 2010 WRAM/MCBA surcharge is expected to sunset in March 2013. The 2011 charge will remain until November 2013. Ratepayers will also notice a 2010 shortfall surcharge on
their water bills. Because of an 11-month delay in the process of getting requested rate increases from the CPUC for 2010-2012, Golden State Water was granted permission to make up for the loss of revenues with a surcharge that will sunset this December. We were essentially under-collecting for that first 11 months from what the CPUC said we could ultimately collect, Mr. Dewey said. Taxes and exemptions Additional fees include a monthly CPUC fee and a city tax. While not all the fees and surcharges are avoidable, the city of Claremont does offer an exemption from the city tax for select Claremont residents who qualify. Individuals are eligible based on income level and the number of persons within the household. The maximum annual income for a household of one person requesting an exemption is no more than $29,550. For a household of 2 persons, the income must be no higher than $33,750. More detailed information can be obtained by calling 399-5453. Applications for the Utility User Tax Exemption and Sanitation/Sewer Fee Discount can be picked up at City Hall, 207 N. Harvard Ave. Water bills may change again as Golden State Water pushes for another rate increase for 2013-2015. A settlement reached over the summer between the water company and ratepayer advocacy groups ended in an increase of 15.1 percent in 2013, with a 2 percent increase planned for 2014 and 1.8 percent to take effect in 2015. If approved by the CPUC, the rates will take effect this January.

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 the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (916)939-0772 or visit this Internet Web http://search.nationwideposting.com/propertySearchTerms.aspx, using the file number assigned to this case CA1200245544 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. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse.

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 Nov. 5, 2012 at 8:30 AM in Dept. No. 9 located at 111 N. Hill St., Los Angeles, CA 90012. IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the deceased, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within four months from the date of first issuance of letters as provided in Probate Code section 9100. The time for filing claims will not expire before four months from the hearing date noticed above. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorders office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustees sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com , using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-12-509250-AL . 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. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagees Attorney.

City seeks proposals for biological study

The city of Claremont is currently seeking proposals from qualified consultants to conduct a biological study on the Williams Property.The property was acquired from Caltrans in 2008 and covers approximately 3.5 acres, 0.5 of which is located in the city of La Verne.The purpose of the study is to identify and document the presence or absence of environmentally-sensitive habitat areas as a preliminary step towards developing a site plan for the property. Please direct any questions regarding this project to Kristin Turner, community and human services manager at 399-5433.
Sharon Gerbode, assistant professor of physics at Harvey Mudd College, has received a grant from the Research Corporation for Science Advancement (RCSA) to explore what role crystals play in todays electronics, particularly in semiconductors. Ms. Gerbode and her students will work with colloidal crystalshighly ordered arrays of particles that behave in a way that mimics much smaller atomic or molecular crystalline structures. The team will observe thermal fluctuations
and use light pressure to manipulate the impurities they introduce into the test crystals. Her work involves the use of nanofabrication techniques, or methods for building and manipulating objects of incredibly small size, much less than the width of a human hair. In the process, she and her students will be developing advanced equipment at Harvey Mudd College, as well as using equipment available at UC Santa Barbaras Nanofabrication Facility. At Harvey Mudd, her lab will construct optical tweezers that can move micron-sized objects using only the pressure of light.
