here have been many odd things newspapers have done over the past several years when addressing the changes in reader habits, advertising and the bottom line. The most popular approach is to cut their way to profits, hoping subscribers wont notice the impact on quality. The result has been significantly smaller staffs to cover the news. And I have no doubt readers really do see the difference. With all this focus on budget-cutting, none seem as strange as when the Chicago Sun-Times decided to lay off their entire 25member photography staff in one fell swoop. The reasoning was news reporting is changing, with a greater focus on the Internet. In a statement they said: The Sun-Times business is changing rapidly and our audiences are consistently seeking more video content with their news, the Sun-Times explained. We have made great progress in meeting this demand and are focused on bolstering our reporting capabilities with video and other multimedia elements. The Chicago Sun-Times continues to evolve with our digitally savvy customers, and as a result, we have had to restructure the way we manage multimedia, including photography, across the network. Maybe I have read too many of these company statements, but does anyone really believe this is good for readers? So I have decided to decode this statement on what it really means, just for COURIER readers. What they should have said is: The Sun-Times business is changing rapidly and we need to cut costs immediately. Since our website design really doesnt focus on photography, we figure firing our entire photo staff is a win-win for us. Reporters will now take pictures and video on iPhones, in addition to writing. Were betting readers will look at our video and photography no matter how bad it is. Our editors say this will hurt our writing, too. But we know we are all just lucky to have jobs. Im not against multitasking, but as someone who has personally tried to take videos and pictures on assignment, its really difficult. Shooting video is a different way of thinking, and you are bound to miss the moment that makes still images so
by Peter Weinberger
compelling. I realize shooting both will occur in certain situations, but when you throw in writing a story as well, youve got a recipe for disaster. Or, as in the Sun-Times case, a drop in quality of all published contentin print and online. This decision is also a result of how the Internet has changed photojournalism. As our COURIER newspaper readers know, page design is critical in the display of good photography. Editors take time to choose only the best images from a shoot. During the page design process, photos are sized differently for greater emphasis on key images, and then mixed with typography on the page. Its a real art to do this well, and takes teamwork from photographer, to editor, to designer. With online slideshows, you have no limits on space, which leads most websites to include so many photos from an event that the repetition can be unbearable. When you include everything, nothing is really emphasized for impact. The days of getting more clicks have replaced the style of photo usage in Life magazine. Dont get me wrong, I look at online photo slideshows all the time. But the nature of how photography is displayed online does impact photojournalism and storytelling. As for management at the Sun-Times? They could have just as easily trained part or all of the photo staff to shoot video. Many newspapers already do that. This would not only be a relief to the writing staff, but would keep the integrity and quality of their visuals at a much higher level. Heres hoping this decision doesnt start a trend in the newspaper industry.

Claremont man dies after being struck by train
local man was struck and killed by a Metrolink train near the intersection of Indian Hill Boulevard and First Street on Tuesday, June 4. Police received the call around 6:11 a.m. The man, identified as 60year-old Michael Patrick Rodriguez of Claremont, was declared dead upon officers arrival at the scene just moments later.
Mr. Rodriguez was on the west side of Indian Hill heading south when he was struck by Metrolink Express Train 383 heading toward Union Station on the south set of tracks, according to Claremont Sergeant Dave De Metz. No other train was in sight or in the area at the time of the collision, verified Metrolink spokesman Jeff Lustgarten. According to the Metrolink schedule, the 383 Express train is a nearly direct transit from San Bernardino to Los Angeles, stopping only in Rancho Cucamonga and Covina en route to LAs Union Station. There was no indication the incident was a suicide, according to an investigator with the Los Angeles County Coroner. The guardrails were down at the time of the incident, Lieutenant Mike Ciszek confirmed. However, while the rails at the intersection where Mr. Rodriguez was struck block traffic, they do not jut out to block the pedestrian walkway. Ear buds and sunglasses were recovered at the scene and, according to police, video surveillance is currently being reviewed as part of the investigation. Several of Mr. Rodriguezs friends and family members were on scene Tuesday morning, but refused comment. Unfortunately, train vs. pedestrian in-

cidents are not a rare occurrence for Metrolink officials, acknowledged Mr. Lustgarten. Sometimes a month goes by without incident. At other times there are several reported within one week. We had kind of a spate of incidents a few weeks ago, totally unrelated to one another, Mr. Lustgarten said. It just kind of happened. There is no rhyme or reason to it. About 350 passengers were onboard the westbound train at the time Mr. Rodriguez was hit. None sustained injuries from the crash and all were safely evacuated from the train, according to Mr. Lustgarten. Despite significant delays following the accident, Metrolink officials and Claremont officers were able to reopen a second track during the investigation, They also brought in back up transportation for help. As of noon on Tuesday, both tracks had been reopened and delays had been resolved. Family and friends gathered again late Tuesday to set up a memorial near the tracks in remembrance of Mr. Rodriguez. Flowers, written tributes and votive candles serve as a tribute to a man friends describe as a hard worker and caring friend. He was a really quiet and down-toearth person, said co-worker Janet Aguayo, who worked with Mr. Rodriguez at the American Red Cross in Whittier for 5 years. Mr. Rodriguez worked as a driver for the Red Cross, helping to set up blood drives and transporting the donated blood. A Red Cross work shirt hangs at

Landscape and lighting rates head in one directionup
anitation fees are on the rise and so are water rates. Now, another Claremont utility is joining in with the recent price increases.
With a 4-1 vote, the Claremont City Council approved a 1.28 percent, or $2.03, increase associated with the countys Landscape and Lighting District (LLD). This increase comes on the heels of a similarly priced increase in June 2012. The LLD program, first approved by Claremont voters in 1990, involves the maintenance of landscaping and street light improvements by the city and private contractors. Maintenance projects and other developments are paid through a tax levied on citizens, the price varying depending on the size of a residents property. The method of calculating increases, also approved by voters, is based on the Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange County Consumer Price Index (CPI) from March to March of each year. Claremont voters approved continuing the LLD in 1997. Every year since then the city has conducted a routine process for levying fees, including hiring an outside agency to conduct an Engineers Report and determine rising costs. Historically, the fees rise every year. Currently, there is $2.75 million in estimated landscape and lighting needs, a $96,023 rise from last year due primarily to the rising cost of other utilities, officials say. Mostly due to water increases, Management Analyst Cari Sneed explained further. A large portion of that moneyan estimated $1.2 millionwill be used for maintaining the citys 21 public parks. That sum represents an $18,151 rise in park maintenance costs from the current year partially due to an increase in water costs, according to Ms. Sneed. She noted that the city has installed water-wise irrigation to about half of its parks, and plans to continue expanding the program. Park maintenance plans for 2013-2014 include upkeep of the grass, irrigation and

fencing, weed abatement, graffiti removal and vandalism repair, pest control and janitorial services. The rest of the budgeted LLD money will be used for street repairs and lighting, as well as tree maintenance, according to Ms. Sneed. LLD fees collected for 2013-2014 will cover 85 percent, or $2.3 million, of those needs. The council approved kicking in an additional $406,000 of unassigned general fund money to account for the rest of the LLD budget. Because the LLD budget assumes a 2 percent CPI increase, an additional appropriation was needed, Ms. Sneed said. Like other utility rate increases, the consistent rise in LLD costs has been a source of contention for residents and
council members, particularly Councilmember Corey Calaycay, who said it was his disagreement with the LLD issue that drew him to get involved in city government 23 years ago. These are the little things that will collectively impact people, Mr. Calaycay had vocalized when the council approved a previous 2 percent increase to LLD fees in June 2012. When it was [originally] implemented it was less than $100. In 1992 it was $100. By 2002 it was $117 and now 10 years later already $157. In another 10 years, at the rate its going, be $200 a unit. It is increasing dramatically. Though a sunset clause, or expiration date, on the charge was mentioned in the initial LLD discussion in 1989, ultitioning unit and were attempting to remove computers. It appears they were scared away from completing the task, according to Lt. Ciszek. Nothing was stolen. Sunday, June 2 There will be no burger stops in the near future for 31-year-old Hector Polanco of La Verne and 24-year-old Marisela Rojo of Rialto after the pair was spotted in a stolen car parked outside Eureka Burger in Village West. The stolen car wasnt the only find for Claremont police. Mr. Polanco was also in possession of burglary tools and was wanted for several outstanding warrants. Ms. Rojo had a meth pipe in her purse. They were carted down the street to the city jail. Monday, June 3 Hikers parked along Pomello Drive near Mills Avenue were the targets in a
mately, it was not implemented, according to City Attorney Sonia Carvalho. A sunset was never established, but Mr. Calaycay had noted that a council discussion on a sunset clause had been promised for June of 1995. That discussion never took place. Ms. Sneed said that steps have been taken at the department level to combat rising LLD costs. This years budget was partially offset by a decrease in contract services as well as the installation of water-wise irrigation systems. At this point, further discussions on LLD costs and a potential sunset clause have not been brought forward.
Sunday, May 26 Looks like there will be no cycling this summer, or at least one less mode of transportation, for a college student who filed a stolen bike report with the Claremont police last week, or more appropriately a missing unicycle. The one-wheeled ride was last seen parked in the 400 block of East Foothill Boulevard on May 24. There are no leads.

Friday, May 31 San Antonio High School students are getting restless. On Friday afternoon police arrived to the high school to put out a bathroom fire allegedly started by a 17year-old student. The male had used his lighter to ignite a paper towel dispenser, according to Lieutenant Mike Ciszek. The dispenser, worth $200, is done for,
but no other damages were sustained as a result of the fire. The student was transported to a juvenile detention center. **** An alleged burglary in the 1000 block of Syracuse Drive between 2:30 and 9:30 p.m. does not appear to be the work of a sleuth. Burglars simply entered through the homes unlocked front door and helped themselves. Though a bedroom was ransacked, it appears crooks did not find anything to their liking, as nothing appeared to be missing, according to Lt. Ciszek. A report was taken.

Police, once again, urge residents to keep valuables out of sight. **** The Village burglaries have all but stopped other than one incident reported in the 1100 block of Harvard Avenue on Monday. Sometime between 7 p.m. on Sunday, June 2 and the following night, an unknown person entered the residents unlocked garaged door and stole some tools. There is no suspect information.

City reviews options instead of speed limit increases
ew crosswalks and bike lanes worth $165,000 may be making their way into Claremont neighborhoods.
The traffic calming measures were suggested instead of raising speed limits on 12 designated street segments throughout the city of Claremont. Though the speed limits will rise if these measures prove ineffective, Interim City Engineer Loretta Mustafa is hopeful these measures will do the trick. What we need is really a small decrease in speed, just 1 or 2 mph on most of these streets to bring down the speed limit. Ms. Mustafa said. Thats what we are looking to do here. The Traffic and Transportation Commission unanimously agreed on the new additions after months of work by the citys engineering and community development team. City council will take a final vote later this summer. The proposed traffic calming measures range from adding striped parking and bicycle lanes, driver feedback signs and sharrows, a symbol painted on the street to designate that the lane is to be shared with bicyclists. The trouble began when a Radar Speed Survey conducted in 2012 suggested that local street segments were not in compliance with current state standards. California law requires that a citys speed limits reflect the local traffic speeds. In the past, city officials were allowed to set a speed limit within 5 miles per hour of the speed a majority of cars were traveling at. If a car was traveling at 28 miles an hour in a 25 mph zone, the city could opt to stay at 25 mph instead of raising the speed to 30. However, recent changes have been made to more stringently restrict the freedom cities have to set speed limits. Now, limits must be set to the nearest 5 mph. If a majority of cars are going 28 mph in a 25 mph zone, by state law, officials are mandated to raise the speed limit to 30 mph. School zones and other restrictions continue to apply and are not affected by the new rules. Survey results showed that a majority of the drivers traveling along those 12 street segments were above the speed limit enough that the speed needed to be increased by 5 mph to comply with state code. Speed on those streets would be otherwise unenforceable in court, according to California mandates. However, residents were not deterred by state speed requirements, which were viewed as as unfair by many officials and residents. Crowds of Claremonters came forward at city council and commission meetings begging for the speed increases to be reconsidered. Many said they were concerned because several of the proposed speed increases are located near playgrounds or schools. College Avenue from Arrow Highway to First Street, for example, is located next to Oakmont Elementary. These are residential streets where children play, said Mark Sieling, a 16-year Claremont resident who lives along Mountain Avenue in one of the 10 designated

areas. Its unthinkable that they would raise the speed limit because there are so many children about. I cant even imagine if I hitor someone elsehit a child. It never leaves you. Mr. Sielings message was echoed by many others, including council members, who unanimously opted to forego speed increases, at least until traffic calming measures could be put in place. Such measures have proved effective in other areas of the city, noted Brian Desatnik, director of community development. They include the design of Indian Hill Boulevard from Harrison Avenue up to Foothill and the bike lanes and sharrows added to Butte Street. Should the council approve the traffic calming measure, staff will wait several months before conducting the radar survey again to re-evaluate speed limits. It usually takes about 4 months for drivers to become acclimated to the changes, according to Ms. Mustafa. Mr. Sieling looks forward to any opportunity to solve speed and safety problems on his street without the need of raising the speed limit. Anything that can be done to lower the speed would be extremely helpful, Mr. Sieling said. Just narrowing the driving lane with striping will consciously make you more aware of keeping your speed down.
Claremont officials plan to address speeding concerns on 12 different street segments. They are: 1. American Avenue, Indian Hill to College: edge line/parking lane, enhanced crosswalk, sharrow 2. College Avenue, Arrow to First: enhanced crosswalk, driver feedback sign 3. Mountain Avenue, San Jose to Arrow: parking and bike lane 4.

Springing into life, blooming into us

by John Pixley
didnt know him, but I knew he wasnt just another kid in the line. As I saw him waiting on that bright, fresh Saturday morning with the sun poking out from clouds to walk under the arch of orange and white balloons, I knew he wasnt another kid but a son, a friend, maybe a brother, possibly an uncle. Not only that, I knew he wasnt a kid but a young man.
Just as I was the son of a proud father now grown up when I graduated from UC Riverside in 1985. That, in fact, was the only reason I participated in the ceremony. I had finished my required credits at the end of winter quarter in March and didnt care to see the campus again, at least for a while. I really wasnt interested in going back to sit through the ceremony, featuring a dull university administrator giving the address, on a hot June afternoon, but my dad insisted. Plus, it was Fathers Day (and we did go out to dinner at my favorite Chinese restaurant, a tiny but superb place that was alone on the road out to Adelanto or somewhere.) Strangely enough, my high school graduation was much more exciting and meaningful to me. This was when Claremont High School held its commencement ceremonies at the athletic field at Pomona College. Perhaps this made graduation that time more exciting. There were no doubt other factors involved, but perhaps the young man in the line last month was also not interested in being there. Perhaps, like me almost 30 years ago, he was just going through the motions at the ceremony. I dont know. But I am fairly certain there was someone in the audience who saw him as more than someone in a line. Someone who was interested
observer
in him more than him just being there. Someone who was cheering for him. This line of 200 graduates, in which the young man stood, was at Pitzer Collegeof course, with the sunny and funny orange and white balloons, with the smooth jazz quintet playing the prelude and processional and with comic and presidential speech-writer Jon Lovett greeting the graduates by telling them they looked like gay judges in their fabulous white and orange robes. And there was the peace sign, the flip-flops, the recycling logo and the sunglasses among the happy circle of images on the program cover. I didnt check to see if the graduate had on flip-flops or Birkenstocks under his robe. There were 6 more lines of graduates during that weekend last month, as well as another one a few days later at the School of Theology. Each were made up of youngand not-so-youngmen and women who were more than people in a line, more than names on a list. Each person in these lines was a son or a daughter, a nephew or a niece, a brother or a sister, perhaps a mother or father or an aunt or uncle, a wife or a husband or a friend, who is loved and supported, celebrated and cheered. No doubt each of these sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, nephews and nieces, fathers and mothers ,
each of these uncles and aunts, wives and husbands, and friends deserved a ceremony of their own. Each of them deserved to be more than a person in a line or a name on a list. Such is the impatient feeling, the awkward nature, the imperfect quality of graduations. And no doubt, as with many of the other such events taking place during these late spring weeks, this will be the case next week at the commencement at Claremont High School, which will, in another difference from when I graduated from CHS, include graduates from San Antonio High School. For every graduate and for the loved ones present to cheer them on the field and the pomp and circumstance will be all theirs. They all deserve this fete, and so, in a sense, do the rest of us. Not that the graduates arent special and deserve their special day, but these spring rites arent the only sign growing and moving forward. Look at all the concerts and performances that went on at the colleges during the spring, leading up to the commencements. The same has been going on for the last couple months in other schools with open houses, shows and fairs. And it appears that nearly every club and organization in town has recently wrapped up its year with special luncheons, soirees and galas. As if all this blooming wasnt enough, add in all the popular April, May and June weddings, the proms and such, and there is a veritable spring bouquet of activity and achievement. It is no doubt another sign of growth and moving forward that after years and years of dreading June in Claremont with very little going on, I now enjoy the quiet this month.

Homegrown success story

Dear Editor: I have been a Claremont resident and patron of Pizza N Such for over 30 years. It is very disheartening to see the city and Mike and Sue Verbal litigate over the use (or misuse?) of their $165,000 in city parking fees required to expand their restaurant in 2002. Mike is a lifelong resident and has toiled long and hard to develop the business. When he and Sue first opened, it was truly a mom and pop operation. Since then, they have worked hard to expand the restaurant, employing over 35 people. They have given dozens of youths their first work experience, bought and reinforced the building at Yale and Second and opened a second retail business at this location. The Verbals have supported youth groups, community events and numerous downtown projects over the years. They are truly a homegrown success story. They were early investors in our historic downtown, as Pizza N Such, along with Walters and Espiaus, led the way for the Villages expansion. It is puzzling to me that the city apparently collected this fee and used it for a project on the west side of Indian Hill when the purpose of the fee was clearly to develop parking on the east side of Indian Hill and directly mitigate the expansion of the Verbals restaurant. Then, after collecting this exorbitant amount, the city greatly reduced the fee for other businesses because of a surplus of parking in 2010. However, as many will attest, parking on the east side of Indian Hill is still problematic most of the day. The city may defend itself and win on technical merits, but is fundamentally wrong if the funds were used other than for which they were collected. Its sad that this cannot be resolved without the expense and trouble of litigation to both parties.

Dismiss the city attorney

Dear Editor: Attendees at the most recent Claremont city council meeting on May 28 were treated to quite a performance by our city attorney, Sonia Carvalho. This all occurred during the council discussion of the Mayors Against Illegal Guns resolution, which wasnt actually a resolution according to Larry Schroeder, even though thats what the printed agenda called it, but I digress. First, Ms. Carvalho was observed passing notes to one council member, who then appeared to use the info from her note(s) as part of his rebuttal. She then injected herself into the council debate over what the mayors options might be, after that what-ever-it-was passed 3-2. It seemed that by her unsolicited input regarding general law cities and the government code, she was goading, even egging on, Councilmember Joe Lyons to sign the MAIG petition as mayor of Claremont, after Mayor Opanyi Nasiali expressed his disinclination to sign. Finally, she added comments about Mayor Nasiali serving as mayor only at the discretion/behest of the council, which comments were expressed in quite a humiliating and insulting manner. All considered, this is intolerable behavior on the part of a hired staff member, in this case a city attorney. Very inappropriate and highly unprofessional. The city attorneys job is to offer neutral, unbiased legal assistance, as needed, and only when appropriate. What is not appropriate is for a city attorney to be taking sides in a council discussion and, in essence, trying to act as a sixth council member, as she so obviously was. Based upon Ms. Carvalhos actions that night, she should be immediately dismissed as Claremonts city attorney, since she knows not how to conduct herself properly.

If the opponents think its so ineffective, they shouldnt have bothered to oppose it. If they hadnt opposed it and created a debate over it, the council wouldnt have spent so much time on it. The opponents created the problem about which they are complaining. In addition, they claimed that it isnt a local matter, so the council shouldnt address it. I disagree. The city is responsible for law enforcement, and illegal guns make that more difficult. That makes it an issue for city government. In fact, anything which affects the residents of Claremont is a local issue. The councils responsibility isnt only to serve the interests of the city government; its to serve the interests of the citys residents. Government at any level doesn't exist for its own benefit; it exists for ours. Lower levels of government, such as our city, exercise that responsibility in part by petitioning higher levels to act in our benefit. Two members of the council said that they would not vote for a resolution supporting the Mayors Against Illegal Guns. One of their reasons was that not all Claremont residents agree with it. This isnt a good reason; instead its a justification for paralysis. There will always be some residents who disagree. If an elected official supports an action or statement, he should explain why it is in the public interest. If he opposes it, he should explain why its not. Some people dont agree isnt such a reason.

GOVERNING OURSELVES
Agendas for city meetings are available at www.ci.claremont.ca.us Tuesday, June 11 City Council Council Chamber, 6:30 p.m. Happily, I have 2 solutions for the Leagues dishonesty in this regard. First I would suggest the local chapter apply to the national office to change its name to The League of Liberal Women Voters (LLWV) so as to appear more honest in the eyes of the public. Recognizing that the national organization would refuse this request, this action would at least give a patina of integrity to the local chapter. Barring this eventuality, I have a more draconian solution. Since the difference in political outlook between the League and the Claremont Democratic Club is negligible, I recommend these local chapters merge, with the League membership assuming the role of the Democratic Clubs womens auxiliary, whose primary mission would be to provide cakes, cookies, tapioca and other sweet treats at regular meetings. Further I would also suggest Ms. Taylor provide Girl Scout cookies at these get-togethers purchased from the same troop she, with police backup, evicted from her office site some years ago. In a small way this would atone for her previous cold-hearted behavior and might allay the troops fears of a repeat raid by a cookie monster and Claremont PD in the future.
Michael Valentine Claremont
League is left-leaning
Dear Editor: Ellen Taylors recent submissions to the COURIER on behalf of the League of Women Voters illustrates how misleading this organizations name is, especially since it suggests it serves all women when, in fact, it clearly is a mouthpiece for the policies of the Democratic Party. It truly is a classic example of false advertising. While liberal men are welcome, the real message to conservative women is that they need not apply. In fact, Sarah Palin would have a better chance of being invited to attend a MoveOn.org board meeting than would an openly conservative woman become a member of the LWV.
Henry Rollins and Claremont

Dear Editor: Henry Rollins has at least one additional Claremont connection not stated in your article (COURIER, May 24). Henrys first 3 booksTwo Thirteen Sixty One (1985), End to End (1985) and Polio Flesh (1986)from Illiterati Press were edited and published by Laura Cloud, Claremont High School class of 1971.

Debate on illegal guns

Dear Editor: During our recent city council debate on whether to support the Mayors Against Illegal Guns, opponents stated that the statement is just words and will have no effect, and they complained that the council should not spend so much time on it.

A city symbol: The Santa Fe/Metrolink Depot

by Ginger Elliot
nce upon a time, you could have traveled to Claremont from Chicago for $1! In the late 1880s, the Santa Fe Railroad had developed a new railroad route into California. They set up many new towns along the routeClaremont being one of them. Unfortunately not enough people were coming west and as a promotion they offered $1 fares to any hardy souls willing to relocate.
Those who got off in Claremont were greeted by a wooden Victorian Depot, a scattering of small houses, no sidewalks or streets, few trees but a stunning view
of the mountains. The story of Claremonts growth as a college and citrus town is chronicled elsewhere but it is time to remember that we started as a railroad town and the singular structure that remains of that era is the beautiful Spanish Colonial structure at First and Harvard. Built in 1926, the Depot replaced the wooden Victorian depot that greeted early residents. Its highly decorated entry, its thick stucco walls, Moorish arches and red tile roof made a statementhere is a prosperous city with sidewalks and electricity, tree-lined streets, 3 colleges and a booming economy. For the next 40 years, the Depot will take the post on July 22. Mr. Carlisle comes to Pitzer from the University of Wisconsin, Eau Claire, where he has served as the dean of students since 2010. At Eau Claire, he was responsible for counseling, student health, student organizations, student
greeted students traveling back and forth to college and saw many famous artists and writers come to Claremont for projects and lectures. The tracks also served as the conduit for shipping our citrus fruits all over the United States, thus building our economic base. By 1967, however, passenger service on railroads was declining and the Santa Fe closed the Depot. It eventually fell into disrepair. Only quick action by the city kept it from burning down and the building seemed doomed. When state funds for public transit became available in the late 1980s, Claremont visionary leaders led by Councilwoman Judy
Wright, lobbied the state and Metrolink to make Claremont a stop on the newly planned Metrolink, which was to use the old Santa Fe rail bed. They received funds from the state to purchase and restore the Depot and in 1992 the it reopened for business. It serves Metrolink riders, Pomona Valley transit bus riders and will someday serve the blue line into Pasadena. If you have not visited this symbol of Claremonts past, present and future, please stop by. Its interior is as interesting as its impressive exterior. Note the frescoed ceiling, the concrete scored floors, the original wrought iron ticket window and the balconets, on the north and south walls. As you stand outside and view the building, see if you can find the original Santa Fe symbola circle with a cross in the middle. Its still there, built into the building! its students. Mr. Carlisle received his bachelors and masters degrees from The University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa and earned a juris doctor from Southwestern University School of Law in Los Angeles. He also served as a mathematics professor in Alabama. Mr. Carlisle succeeds Jim Marchant, who has served as Pitzers vice president for student affairs for more than 10 years. Mr. Marchant will transition into his new role as the executive director of development and special projects for Pitzers Office of College Advancement this summer.

Michael Woodcock
Michael Woodcock, a noted Claremont artist and a Pitzer College professor emeritus, died on March 31, 2013 after a long illness. He was 61. The community is invited to a memorial service to celebrate the extraordinary life of Michael Woodcock on Saturday, June 22 at 4 p.m. at Pitzer Colleges Benson Auditorium (1050 N. Mills Ave.). Refreshments will be served in the atrium afterwards, followed by an informal wake hosted by Mr. Woodcocks family at their home, which all are welcome to attend. For more information, contact Michael Ballagh at michael_ballagh@pitzer.edu. Mr. Woodcock was born in Connecticut on October 25, 1951 and grew up near the beaches of southern California. In 1984, he graduated from Claremont Graduate University with an MFA in drawing and painting. In 1989, he began teaching at Pitzer where, according to a college release, he was known as a unique artist with a passion for teaching the creative process. One of Mr. Woodcocks most memorable courses, The Mother Road, centering on the creative fulcrum that is Route 66, ended with him and about a dozen students driving in vintage cars from Santa Monica to Chicago, a 2,278mile endeavor. Mr. Woodcocks paintings and lithographs were marked by irreverent humor, often achieved by the juxtaposition of text with images by turns prosaic and iconic. In a 2005 lithograph titled Bad
OBITUARIES
the extraordinarily gifted artist Michael Woodcock ended his tenure on planet earth. In Michaels artistic output there was an unsurpassed honesty and inventiveness. His work plays with convention. Yet, although the embodied Michael displayed a spectacularly dry sense of humor, to think of his creations as humorous one-liners is a sin. What I want, he said, is for somebody I respect to look at one of these paintings and, after a minute or 2, say thats the most beautiful dumb painting Ive ever seen. Mr. Woodcocks work has been collected and displayed in institutions such as the Getty Museum, the Los Angeles County Public Library, Yale University and the TOSCHI Art Institute in Parma, Italy. One of his more recent exhibits, titled Michael Woodcock Paintings 20082010, was showcased at the University of La Vernes Harris Gallery in February and March 2011. His work, combined with that of Athena H. Hahn, was also displayed at the Bunner Gunner gallery in Pomona in November and December of 2012. Mr. Woodcock is survived by his wife, Julie; by his 2 daughters, Margaret and Carolina; by his sister, Cherie; by his brother, Scott and by his extended family.

Henry, white space surrounds a square rendering of a pups sheepish looking face, under which is written the slogan when you are a bad dog, every day is Christmas. An acrylic and graphite rendering of a Heinz tomato ketchup bottle is accompanied by the word vegetable. Whenever I begin a new project, my initial idea is to make it perfect. However I fall short of that is my art, he wrote in a 2006 mission statement. David Lindley, just one of the countless members of the Claremont art community with whom Mr. Woodcock forged close ties, is best known as an internationally noted musician. Not everyone knows that he also enjoys making art, too, an avocation for which he said he has received some sound advice over the years from Mr. Woodcock. He gave me a lot of information on colorfastness and archival kinds of paper and making things that are more or less as permanent as could be. He would share very valuable information, Mr. Lindley said. Over the years, Mr. Lindley purchased a number of works by Mr. Woodcock, but he admired him as much for his personality as for his art. He was always a curmudgeon, Mr. Lindley recalled fondly. Id go to Wolfs Market and go to the delicatessen and hed be over getting something to eat in his motorized wheelchair. Wed both sit there at a bar and watch people in the parking lot and sneer at SUVs and stuff like that.
Mr. Lindley continued, We decided that we should have a fraternal order of curmudgeons. You had to be ill-tempered at the drop of a hatyou had to be really venomous and bad-tempered. He was fantastic. He was great, really wonderful. Its a shame hes not around. Along with his occasional crustiness, friends and well-wishers everywhere are saluting Mr. Woodcock for his ability to make them laugh.

She began a career in sales with Mary Kay Cosmetics as a beauty consultant and became a senior sales director in 1979. Mrs. Turner even earned a few of the classic pink Mary Kay cars during a 41-year career filled with many happy memories and friends. For the last 20 years, she and Mr. Turner spent their summers in Sundance from May through September. All the family came to be with them at what was commonly called Camp Chaos. There Mrs. Turner had a garden and spent every August canning tomatoes and pickles and making pies for the freezer. Many evenings were spent enjoying the view of Sundance Mountain.

COURIERphoto/ Steven Felschundneff A display of fresh fruits and flowers were part of Sandee Haydens talk on Tuesday at Joslyn Center. Besides the cool summer recipe she created, Ms. Hayden also talked about staying safe and hydrated during the hot days to come.
Joslyn makes mornings more informative for Claremonters
isitors of Claremonts Joslyn Senior Center are becoming particularly productive with their morning cup of coffee, and its not because of an extra jolt of caffeine.
Program coordinators at the popular senior center have repurposed normal coffee table chatter with the recent introduction of Coffee Talk, a free lecture series presenting topics of importance to seniors and their families. The program kicked off with a healthy cooking demonstration and Q&A last Tuesday. The purpose is continued education, said Shannon Glaudi, senior recreation leader at the Joslyn Center. We are always looking for new ways to engage our seniors. The interactive morning lecture series is not a for-
eign concept to Joslyn regulars. In fact, its quite familiar as its based off of the centers longstanding hot topic series. After attendance at the hot topic presentations began to dwindle, Ms. Glaudi began seeking ways to revamp the program. Renaming the series and moving its location to the most popular room at the Joslynthe Oak Room dining hallproved pivotal. Tuesdays audience included about 15 participants, a much bigger turnout than the select few attendants that would show up for the previous program, according to Ms. Glaudi. Beyond the success of relocating the lecture series, the recreation leader credits the distinct new line-up of programs as enticing a broader audience. Upcom-
ing Coffee Talk classes range from cooking demonstrations to self defense to a course on human sexuality and aging, the later to be held in a more intimate setting than the dining hall. Tuesdays healthy summer cooking class was one of Ms. Glaudis proud contributions. Our seniors enjoy eating and I wanted them to learn simple and easy alternatives for summer meals, Ms. Glaudi said. Many of them are only cooking for one, and that can be tricky. Besides, she continued. Its so hot here in the summer time, who wants to cook on the stove?

Ms. Haydens talk was part of the new series called Coffee Talk, which will continue throughout the summer. COFFEE TALK continued from the previous page
Ms. Glaudi called on Sandee Hayden of the Visiting Nurses Association to think up some creative ways to get cooking sans heat. To help her get started, Ms. Hayden came equipped with a bundle of seasonal fruits and vegetableswatermelon, strawberries and grapes among the pickingsto serve as the base of her dishes. There are so many different fresh seasonal options here in southern California, Ms. Hayden shared. We are
fortunate to live in an area where strawberries are so abundant. Sprouts, Super King, Trader Joes and the Sunday farmers market offer fresh produce at reasonable prices, Ms. Hayden related. She noted that she often takes advantage of Sprouts Double Ad Wednesday to stock up on all the produce specials. Price aside, Ms. Hayden offered several ways to stretch out the savings and make use of every bit of fruit possible, particularly when it comes to summer favorites like watermelon. Instead of throwing away spare chunks or allowing the fruit to go bad, Ms. Hayden recommends saving the pieces in a Ziploc bag and storing it in the freezer. For a delicious and refreshing drink, take out the watermelon pieces and mix them in a blender with some lemon for a quick and easy watermelon lemonade. For those of you who like alcoholic drinks you can add a little vodka, she joked. While a little indulgence is just fine, Ms. Hayden reiterated the importance of introducing water-rich fruits and veggies to summertime meals in order to stay hydrated during the looming summer heat wave. Watermelon and grapes are an easy way to replenish needed fuel, she suggested. In recreating one simple recipe, Ms. Hayden cut open a watermelon, and with a biscuit cuttera cookie cutter also workscut out generous portions of watermelon. She used a melon baller to hollow out the center of each piece and filled the hole with a generous portion of chicken salad. Grapes and strawberries served as a complimentary side dish. Lecturegoers were as thrilled about the creativ-

ity of Ms. Haydens culinary invention as they were pleased to have the chance to help devour it. Among those indulging was Maria Rodriguez and her mother, Connie Rodriguez, a frequenter of the Joslyn Center. Maria is not a regular visitor of the Joslyn Center. In fact, she isnt even a senior, but she was eager to join her mother for an impromptu motherdaughter date centered on one of her favorite activities, cooking. As an employee of the Claremont Chefs Academy, she is always looking to add to her rolodex of recipes. And after a recent gastro surgery, she is constantly
seeking ways to enjoy the food she loves while also making healthier choices. Every little bit helps, she said. Join with other seniors and locals for the next Coffee Talk meeting on Tuesday, June 18, at 10 a.m. in the Joslyn Centers Oak Room. Trader Joes employees will present a cooking demonstration teaching guests how to prepare an easy 4-course meal.

Winged native insects grace RSABGs annual display
heres nothing like a butterfly to make your imagination take flight. You can currently view a slew of the flying insects at the Rancho Santa Anta Botanic Gardens (RSABG) annual Butterfly Pavilion.
What distinguishes the Pavilion at RSABGopen daily through July 28 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.from other such displays is it gives visitors the opportunity to view California native butterflies up close and personal. Nearly all of the critters flitting about, lighting on plants and visitors and dining on nectar and slices of fruit were collected locally, either in the Garden itself or up at Baldy. Last week Carolyn Atherton, who grew up in Claremont, escorted her friends childrenJosh and Jasmine Iyekar, ages 5 and 3, respectively through the net-enclosed Butterfly Pavilion.

Making a point, local artist focuses on wildlife

Artist Lucien van Oosten is featured this month in the Claremont Comunity Foundation Art Gallery. Focusing on pointillism, stipple and silberpoint, Mr. van Oosten utilizes a distinct dotting technique with pencil, pen or ink and makes a point to not use an eraser. Mr. van Oosten was born on the island of Java, Indonesia to Dutch parents. During the Socialist uprising in Indonesia, when he was 2 years old, his parents were forced to leave the Islands and move to the Netherlands. After living there for 5 years, they immigrated to America in 1957. Once in the United States, his family took residency in the community of Pasadena, California and Mr. van Oosten became a naturalized citizen in 1968. He and his wife now live in Glendora. During his childhood, he went on hikes through the San Gabriel Mountains augmented by visits to local zoos, aquariums and nature centers, where his fascination with nature was established. This fascination is expressed by the depiction of the various animals throughout his artwork. Mr. van Oosten is proficient in pencil, colored pencil, pen/ink and mixed media drawing techniques. One of his favorite styles of drawing is pointillism. He uses this technique and others to create subject study sketches from which he creates his paintings. He is currently employed as a senior design specialist for an aviation life support company. He wrote and illustrated a technical paper on creating a composite model airplane using a mold design by scaling down an artists rendering of a conceptual aircraft fuselage. The Society of Plastics Engineers gave him an award for this innovative paper and published it in their 1987 convention directory. Mr. van Oostens work has been exhibited in numerous venues over the years. His work has appeared in publications such as Litrus Literature and Art Anthology published by Citrus College in 2002. This publication shows the juried works of talented students; he had 3 pieces selected for publication. His works have also appeared on the cover of Bits and Bridle, an equestrian magazine published in Santa Barbara. In 2004, Mr. van Oosten was honored by the dean and faculty of the art department at Citrus College and was given a certification for outstanding achievement in the arts. Currently, he has been expressing his artist abilities by creating his images using the media of acrylic and oil paint. His numerous creative interests have caused him to express himself in all types of art forms and mixed media. See the art of Mr. van Oostens artwork at the Claremont Community Foundation Art Gallery in the exhibition From a Point through June 28. The Claremont Community Foundation Art Gallery is located at 205 Yale Ave. within the Claremont Chamber of Commerce.

457 N MOUNTAIN AVE, CLAREMONT, CA 91711 Assessors Parcel No.: 8311-023-004 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 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-12-537343-JP . 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 bidders 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. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders rights against the real property only. As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations. THIS OFFICE IS ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT AND ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE.

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