Dear Editor: Sarah Torribios interesting article in the August 30 COURIER about Connie and Dicks venerable auto service at 150 Olive Street and the good work done by Cindy Browns establishment since 1990, 23 years ago, is most welcome. The article begins, For nearly 53 years, Connie and Dicks Auto Service Center has been Claremonts one stop repair destination. That seems to imply the business began in about 1960, and doesnt tell us who Connie and Dick were. As a student a Pomona College from 1946 to 1948, I remember Connie and Dick very well. They had a service station on the northeast corner of Bonita and Yale, and did repairs as well as pump gas. They gave up the service station a short time later and moved to a full-time repair shop. I believe Dick went elsewhere about that time, but Connie ran the shop and kept the original name. If I remember correctly, this other shop existed before the move to Olive Street. Connie (sadly, I have forgotten his last name), a navy veteran, was well-known around the Village before he retired. In any case, the establishment must be about 66 years old, rather than 53 years old. Is it possible that the Browns bought the business from Connie in 1990?

Dear Editor: This letter is written on behalf of the Claremont Womens Golf Club in response to the recent announcement that the Claremont Golf Course may be closing. The golf course has been an asset to the Claremont community and surrounding areas for decades and it would be a huge loss if it were to close. The Claremont Womens Golf Club was established in 1990 and currently has 80 members. The course provides excellent opportunities for social interaction and physical exercise for our members as well as golfers from the surrounding area. Others in the community who benefit from the Claremont Golf Course are the students at the high school, local colleges and members of the local retirement communities. We understand the challenges of maintaining the course and applaud the Claremont Colleges for their commitment to it over the years. We sincerely hope that, despite the current issues, the Colleges will decide to keep the course open. This would be an excellent example of town and gown enrichment similar to free lectures and the generous use of college facilities for local events. When the problems with Golden State Water are resolved, the course will be lovely for practice and play again and business will increase dramatically. In the meantime, we pledge our loyalty to the course and hope that the Colleges

LA County Fire Captain David Stone said that quick work from both the air and ground kept the fire from advancing toward homes adjacent to the field station.
Sparks from Golden State Water work crew start blaze
quick-moving fire razed 17 acres of the Bernard Field Station in Claremont Wednesday afternoon after a Golden State Water crew sent sparks flying while using a chop saw and torch, according to fire officials.
The fire started at about 3:30 p.m. on the north side of Foothill Boulevard between Dartmouth and Mills Avenue, according to Los Angeles County Fire Captain David Stone. We knocked it down pretty quickly with our forward firefight and with air support from the helicopters and the Superscooper, Captain Stone said. Three homes on Abilene Way were evacuated but residents have since been let back in their homes. The fire burned about 17 acres, all inside the field station, and investigators are inspecting the structures in the field station for damage, according to Captain Stone. Claremont police shut down Foothill Boulevard in both directions from Mills to College avenues. Mills going north to Radcliffe was also closed.

Local citizens voice concern on military action in Syria
bout 75 people took to the corners of Indian Hill and Foothill boulevards on Monday night, joining thousands from across the nation broadcasting a singular message to the US government: Do not use military force in Syria.
The Claremont vigil was one of hundreds of similar events nationwide, organized as part of a national day of action led by MoveOn.org and several other progressive action groups. An estimated 2 million Syrians have fled to surrounding countries over the past couple years as the government, led by President Bashar al-Assad, began cracking down on anti-government uprisings sweeping the country. The protests are part of a bigger movement throughout the Middle East, known as the Arab Spring, to stop government repression. Government-led attacks have included driving tanks into Syrian cities and opening fire on residents. While the government continues its attacks, thousands of soldiers have defected to begin their own campaign against the present government, calling themselves the Free Syrian Army. The resulting clash has claimed the lives of thousands of Syriansboth citizens and combatantsa number that continues to rise. A recent chemical attack, which some speculate to have been authorized by President al-Assad, has led the United States and allies to consider military intervention in Syria. President al-Assad insists the attack is the doing of rebels with ties to al-Qaeda. President Barack Obama gave a national address on the matter Tuesday night and Congress is expected to vote on a resolution authorizing military action this week. Proponents of military intervention say the use of chemical weapons represents a crossing-of-the-line that demands a decisive international response. Many American citizens, however, have been vocal about their belief that the United States should not involve itself in Syria. According to an international poll released by CNN/ORC, a strong majority remains against US military involvement in the Syrian civil war. Such opposition is exacerbated by the fact that the United States is still entangled in conflicts in Iraq

and Afghanistan. Claremont residents joined with others on Monday in urging their local Congressional representatives to vote against military action. Among them was Joe Tonan, past president of the Claremont Faculty Association, who believes more of the national budget should be spent on education instead of military force. Mr. Tonan stopped by the evening vigil after a parent meeting at Sumner Elementary School, where he and sixth grade parents strategized how to raise the $33,000 needed to send their kids to science camp this year. Many of our families in the Sumner area are homeless, live in the nearby hotels or trailer parks, and cannot contribute the recommended amount per student, Mr. Tonan said. No student is ever denied going to camp because they cannot afford to go, but if we cannot raise the amount we need, we may not be
able to go to camp this year. With President Obama entertaining a military strike on Syria, an endeavor Mr. Tonan noted could be costly, Mr. Tonan was moved to take to the corner with sign in hand. The costs for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan will be measured in the trillions of dollars. We need to invest our money in our students, not in air strikes or allies that the American people are against, Mr. Tonan said. That is why, on the way home from the parent meeting, I stopped my car, got out, picked up a sign and stood for an hour with 75 other people, asking our country to really look at what our priorities should be.

Vandals strip bronze plaques from city hall
POLICE BLOTTER
The front of Claremont City Hall is looking a little bare these days. Earlier this month, 2 bronze plaques were removed from the front of city hall and have yet to be found. Similar swipes have taken place at the Alexander Hughes Center, several local parks and Claremont Unified School District facilities in recent years. There are no suspects. Friday, September 6 The Peppertree Shopping Center on the southeast corner of Arrow and Indian Hill, is the latest location targeted for commercial burglary. Three unidentified men tried to make off with stolen property from Luscious Nail and Spa early Friday morning, though their initial goal had been the smoke shop next door, according to police. Around 3:30 a.m., the owner of MW Smoke Shop received a call from his alarm company, notifying him of a power
failure at his store. He called police. Officers arrived to find the door of the nail salon pried open, the phone lines cut and the power turned off. However, it appears the suspects had gained entrance to the nail salon in attempt to enter the smoke shop next door. Holes had been broken into the wall connecting the stores, but the attempt to get into the smoke shop was unsuccessful. The burglars then attempted to take electronics from the nail salon, but nothing was stolen, according to police. There is little to identify the suspects. Video surveillance recorded 3 suspects and a light-colored Chevy crew cab truck. One of the suspects is described as a black male wearing a New York Yankees hat and dark clothing. There are no other details. Any information regarding this crime should be reported to the Claremont police at 399-5411. **** When in doubt, run and hide. That was the philosophy of 37-year-old Laura Oli-
vas of Pomona who, after crashing into a light pole near Claremont and Monte Vista on Friday morning, ditched her car and took off. Police found Ms. Olivas car on fire in the middle of the intersection with the engine still running and Ms. Olivas hiding in a row of bushes nearby. She was arrested for driving under the influence. Saturday, September 7 A couples fight turned bad fast at Extra Space Storage, 525 W. Arrow Highway, on Saturday afternoon. The couple was arguing in the parking lot when the victim claims her significant other threatened her and then got into his car and tried to run her over. She was able to dodge the car, but the victim claims the man then rammed her car with his before taking off. As of press time, the man had not been taken into custody. Police continue the investigation. Sunday, September 8 Its not every day police are called to the DoubleTree Claremont to coax down a woman found standing stark naked on the third floor balcony. Such was the case on
Sunday evening, Sarah HambarzumjanCalhoun, 26, of Santa Barbara, was hanging from the balcony at one point, according to Lt. Ciszek. Officers were eventually able to detain Ms. Hambarzumjan-Calhoun, found to be under the influence of a controlled substance. She was taken to the Claremont jail, but was later transported to the hospital. **** Police are uncovering puzzling details surrounding an alleged hit and run, which required a pedestrian to be airlifted for treatment on Sunday morning. The man was struck by a car near Black Hills Drive and Denver Avenue around 1:42 a.m. At first, he claimed an unknown person hit him, however, later told police the car had actually been driven by a friend, according to Lt. Ciszek. The man alleges he was drinking with pals when the friends became angry and took off for a party, hitting him with the car in the process. The man sustained head injuries, lacerations to his body and bruising to his face. Investigation continues.
EDUCATION
Salas aims to bring big ideas, enthusiasm to school board campaign
s the November 5 election approaches, Joseph Salas has themed his bid for the local school board: Celebrating our traditions, reaching new heights.
The celebration begins with his campaign kick-off on Sunday, September 15 from 3 to 5 p.m. at Casa De Salsa restaurant, located at 415 W. Foothill Blvd. in the Old School House complex. Guests are asked to RSVP for the event, which will include appetizers and drinks, at josephsalas7@hotmail.com. Mr. Salas, a high school social studies teacher and a Model United Nations instructor at a charter school in Fontana, has pondered running for a seat on the board of the Claremont Unified School District for the last 3 or 4 years. It is a recent development that convinced him that his viewpoint would be an asset for the district. At the end of May, CUSD sold its service center to homebuilder DR Horton and the district began moving forward on its relocation, with plans centering on building a center of operations on the campus of the local continuation high school. It wasnt until their June 6 meeting that the board directed architect James Moreto to switch his focus to moving the service center to the district office property. Mr. Salas was shocked that the earlier contingency nearly came to pass. My reaction was, Youre going to take resources away from students who need the most resources? Should he gain a spot on the school board, Mr. Salas said he would be guided by 2 questions in his decisions: Is it good for the kids? And, Are we allocating resources in the best manner for student achievement? A graduate of Sycamore, El Roble and Claremont High School, he credits Claremont schools with teaching him to love to learn. Still, Mr. Salas, who served on CUSDs district advisory committee on curriculum, has laid out some priorities he feels would make them even better. Chief among these is to erase the achievement gap between the average Claremont student and subgroups such as English language learners, AfricanAmerican students, disabled students and kids who are socio-economically disadvantaged. Mr. Salas feels there is an economic segregation in Claremont schools that leaves some schools able to focus on post-proficiency excellence while others must fight to narrow the gap for large populations of vulnerable subgroups. Schools in the northeastern portion of Claremont have few instra-district transfers from poorer cities like Pomona, while schools in the southwest area of the city have many. As a result, Chapparel has a student population that is 13 percent socio-economically disadvantaged (SED), while 89 percent of Vista
del Valle students meet this criteria. Mr. Salas has an idea of how to change this disparity, and it doesnt involve redrawing boundaries or taking away Claremont families much-valued ability to choose which school their child attends. Mr. Salas suggests that every Claremont CUSD ELECTION elementary school adopt a foreign language that students would study for a percentage of the day or week. Students at various sites might study Mandarin, Spanish or French. With this new layer of choice, Claremont families might begin to self-select inter-district transfers, making it more common for students from the northeast belt of Claremont to opt for southwestern schools. As a result, seats might open up at northeastern schools for intra-district transfers, causing subgroups like SED students to be peppered throughout the district rather than concentrated in a few schools. Families whose children are English language learners might choose to send their children to a school whose language focus matches their home language, an option Mr. Salas said would be effective in narrowing that subgroups achievement gap. Research tells us that if a student improves in his or her mother tongue, it can help them improve in English, he points out. Mr. Salas would also like to see the district establish meaningful collaborations with local institutions of higher education. For instance, the Chaffey Joint Union School District recently signed agreements with Cal Poly Pomona and Cal State San Bernardino guaranteeing admission and 4-year graduation for seniors with the required courses and GPA. In addition, Mr. Salas would like to see the bonds between CUSD and Citrus College, his alma mater along with Cal Poly Pomona, strengthened. Many students would benefit from the opportunity to take college classes during their junior or senior years, hastening their matriculation and exposing them to the many options available at community colleges. The candidate also has his sights set on greater energy efficiency. In the past month, Mr. Salas said he has toured through all of the campuses in CUSD. While CHS Principal Brett OConnor guided him through the high school, Mr. Salas was shown an empty classroom and was struck by the fact that the air conditioning was still on. He said he was told that the high school did not have a central system where rooms could be monitored for activity, with utilities switched off accordingly. Mr. Salas also notes having seen sprinklers on at Claremont schools while its raining, another waste that could be addressed through technology. Beyond addressing basic inefficiencies, Mr. Salas, a founding member of Sustainable Claremont, would like to see CUSD install solar panels in every school, a move that could help shrink the amount of money the district spends on electricity, some $600,000 per year.

Some might see this as a dreamers vision, but Mr. Salas emphasizes that Claremont is rich in intellectual capital, people who can help guide the district as it makes the transition. He responds to potential doubters with a quote by Abraham Lincoln: Towering genius disdains a beaten path. When it comes to his campaign, Mr. Salas, who has 2 nephews who attend Sycamore School, does not suffer from a lack of ideas. His challenge will be articulating what he admits are big ideas. He would like to see Claremont schools create a more competitive education focused on success for the 21st century. One method would be for Claremont schools to create more partnerships with businesses and nonprofits, particularly in the area of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mechanics). For instance, the Oxford Academy in Cypress, California has forged a partnership with Boeing in
which students undertake Boeing internships and the aerospace corporation advises the schools robotics club. Another path to make students more prepared for todays world, he said, would be to add International Baccalaureate (IB) programs at local elementary schools and at El Roble as well as at CHS. The IB program offers participating juniors and seniors advanced academics while emphasizing writing, interdisciplinary learning, teamwork, community engagement and a global perspective. The professed goal of the Middle Years International Baccalaureate Programaimed at junior high schoolaged kidsis to offer a framework of academic challenge that encourages students to embrace connections between traditional subjects and the real world and become critical thinkers. Such a focus, Mr. Salas points out, dovetails perfectly with the Common Core assessment and curriculum to which the district is currently transitioning. Mr. Salas emphasizes that families should be able to choose whether their young students participate in IB. The beauty of the program, he said, is that teachers do not need a special degree to become IB teachers, just a few days of specialized training. Mr. Salas spends countless hours pondering how the latest learning ideas might apply to local schools. He said he does so because he loves education and he cares about Claremont schools. I want to give back to the institutions that made me who I am today, he said. Profiles on the other CUSD school board candidates will appear in upcoming editions of the COURIER.

Get a job
by Debbie Carini
ne of my husbands favorite expressions is get a job. He often utilizes it in response to simple questions such as what should I do this weekend? When I mentioned this to him, he claimed that it wasnt so; but I liken it to me, telling my son, I dont snore, when he swears a death rasp (that he identifies as his motherhow I dont know) wafts through the house in the wee hours of the morning.
Get a job, has taken on a whole new meaning in our house this summer as our freshly-minted college graduate has returned to the nest sans employment (though certainly not for lack of trying). As I write this, my daughter is on a cross-country quest to secure a steady paycheck. Last week, we shopped for appropriate interview clothes (funky for the music company; more stylish for the major entertainment corporation), and I couldnt help but reminisce about my own early days of job seeking. My very-first-ever job interview was at the Upland Library for a junior librarian position that was of-
fered to local high school students. I thought I met all the qualifications: bookish, nerdy, always available on Friday and Saturday evenings but, alas, my participation on the badminton team kept me from working weekday afternoon hours and thus I was removed from consideration. (I finally did end up with a post at a fast food restaurant, possibly because I bore a striking resemblance to the company mascota frecklefaced, red-headed girl named Wendy). As I neared the end of college in the early 1980s, the look for potential junior executives was heavilypadded shoulders and alarmingly high hair (think Melanie Griffith in the movie Working Girl before the makeover that attracts the attention of Harrison Ford). Not wanting to look like an inverted triangle (I only stand 52 and some of those shoulder pads produced a wing span equal to that height), I opted to wear a slim knit dress in variegated sherbet shades of yellow, orange and pink on my first interview for a position
as an advertising copywriter at a bank. I walked into the proverbially-paneled, corner-windowed-office and sat opposite the cruise-ship-sized desk of a man who looked a lot like Rich Uncle Pennybags, the round old guy in a top hat who serves as the mascot of the board game Monopoly. I was nervous, and deeply hoping the process wouldnt include a pop-quiz on balancing a checkbook. I smiled through the marble-based pen set at my interviewer, eager to present my portfolio of interesting and topical stories from the school newspaper, of which I was an editor. He leaned forward and, with what I can only now describe as a lascivious leer, said, You look just like a popsicle in that dress. I dont remember much after that except I think I hooked my purse on the chair as I was hurriedly leaving and probably dragged it 4 feet before I was free to run away and not pursue some sort of case with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which in 1975, had a backlog of more than 100,000 charges to be investigated. I eventually got a job, and so will my daughter, but as we continued to peruse the racks for the perfect outfit, I steered her away from the pastel palette and whispered a word-to-the-wise, I warned her, better to look like a librarian than a frozen Bomb Pop!
Annual Interfaith Walk to again unite local faith communities

Faith leaders and community members from throughout the Pomona Valley and the surrounding area are again set to join in the annual Interfaith Walk and Rally for Peace this Sunday, September 15, beginning at 3:30 p.m. The event is sponsored by the Claremont Interfaith Working Group for Mid-East Peace, and this years walk is the fifth consecutive year the group has sponsored this gathering. Originally conceived as a Walk and Rally for Hope and Peace in 2009, the event has matured from its origins as a commemoration of the events of 9-11-01 to now focus on wider issues of understanding and cooperation. The current situation in Syria and the uncertainty surrounding the future in the Middle East in general are expected to add a special poignancy to this years event. The walk will begin this year at St. Ambrose Epis-
OUR TOWN
copal Church at Bonita and Mountain in Claremont, departing at 4 p.m., following a welcoming presentation. It will proceed from there to Temple Beth Israel on Towne Avenue and then, after a moment of rest and some communal singing, continue north on Towne and along Foothill Boulevard to the City of Knowledge Islamic School on Garey Avenue, just south of Foothill in Pomona. The expected arrival time there will be approximately 5:30 p.m. At City of Knowledge, participants will be able to enjoy a light communal meal. There is no charge for participation, but commemorative t-shirts will be available for purchase and financial contributions to help support further events are always appreciated. Parking will be available at the start and end stops of the walk, and limited transportation will be available at
City of Knowledge back to St. Ambrose. Those unable to walk may also drive between locations. More information is available at facebook.com/ claremontinterfaithWG or at the hotline 542-8150.

Not in my backyard
Dear Editor: I enjoy reading the COURIERs Observer by John Pixley. In his September 6, article Mr. Pixley wrote about the new housing being built in the narrow strip of land between Base Line Road and the freeway at Towne Avenue. Mr. Pixley observed that a few years ago a low-income housing project was proposed for that site, an observation that my wife and I also made when we first heard of the latest proposed project. When the first project was proposed, a group of Claremont residents argued that it would be unhealthy for residents to live so close to the freeway. The ploy apparently worked. Now there are homes (of the non-lowincome variety) being built there and on other vacant land all along the freeway. Okay, we get the whole NIMBY thing. Nevertheless, seeing the development going in now without the same concerns for the health of the future residents does invoke one of those simultaneous grinchuckle-raised eyebrow-shoulder-shrughead-shake responses.

Technology in our schools

Dear Editor: I find it necessary to clarify information presented by current school board candidate for re-election Steven Llanusa in the September 6 edition of the COURIER. The COURIER reported on an interview with current school board member and candidate for reelection, Steven Llanusa. It was stated that Mr. Llanusa was concerned about the direction given to the district during a study session on August 19, 2013 suggesting a long-standing graduation requirement be removed. Mr. Llanusa was referring to the high school class, Technology Skills for the 21st Century, which is currently required for graduation from Claremont Unified School District. Direction had been given to the district to continue to require the technology skills class as a graduation requirement through June 2015. During the next 2 years, the District Technology Advisory Committee and the district technology leaders will work collaboratively to embed the key technology standards into the curriculum across all grade levels starting in elementary school; therefore eliminating the course as a graduation requirement effective with the 2015-2016 school year. Perhaps some background on how this question arose would be helpful. During the 2012-13 school year, 15 committee workshops were held to study 4 questions, one of which was to determine if there was a need for the technology skills class as a graduation requirement. The committees that met throughout the year consisted of K-12 teachers, K-12 site and district administrators, counselors, middle school and high school students, parents, community members (including the mayor and city manager), college professors and the superintendent of the Baldy View Regional Occupational Program. This large and diverse committee reached consensus on 2 of the 4 areas studied, but could not reach consensus on 2 of the areas, the technology skills class
and the fitness and health class. It was at this point that a study session with the board was scheduled for August 19 in order for the board to hear the issues related to the technology skills class and provide staff with direction on whether or not to continue mandating this class as a graduation requirement. During the August 19 workshop, teachers and a student that served on the graduation requirements committees throughout the year, participated in the boards workshop to share their respective committees views on the technology skills class. Discussion was held in small groups, of which Mr. Llanusa was one, and with the group as a whole. There was a thoughtful and comprehensive discussion and all known concerns were voiced. No thoughts or opinions were uninvited or disregarded. At the end of the workshop, the board was unanimous in their direction to staff which was to spend the next 2 years studying this issue, to continue to work with the District Technology Advisory Committee and district technology leaders to determine how the essential technology skills from this class could be embedded into the curriculum across all grade levels, and to purchase the necessary technology to support this endeavor. If all of that work is successfully completed by June 30, 2015, the technology skills class will no longer need to be a graduation requirement.

READERS COMMENTS
At the very least she could run on the other side of the street where there is a sidewalk that would allow her to avoid this entrance altogether. She could run north of Claremont High School until traffic has cleared or time her run earlier or later in the morning. There are several options that would exercise more common sense and less self-serving behavior on the part of Ms. Fryxell, and others, who chose to put themselves in potential harms way at this location. In terms of common courtesy, I do not know if Ms. Fryxell has ever had to contend with the hassles of dropping children off at school but, if she had, she would understand that any unnecessary impediment to the flow of traffic causes tensions to rise and unsafe conditions can result. Running in front of the entrance would be deemed unnecessary by most parents attempting to drop their students of at CHS: Hence the angry stare from a parent. Yes, the law is on the side of pedestrians but common sense and common courtesy should prevail. In her letter, Ms. Fryxell claims to be a defensive runner, and she makes a valid point when she states If you hit me, the worst I can do to your car is dent some metal or break a headlight, but the damage that you do to me could be irreparable. Again, common sense plays an important role here. Exercising common sense to protect ones physical well-being may weigh more heavily in the long run than exercising ones legally appointed rights.

Look both ways

Dear Editor: In the September 6 edition, Joan Fryxell laments a potentially dangerous situation for walkers and runners who happen upon the Oxford Avenue entrance into Claremont High School during the peak drop off time in the morning, presumably between 7:30 and 8 a.m. In her letter, she reminds parents of Claremont students that pedestrians have the right-of-way at all times and that motorists must legally yield to them. She adds that if she were to be hit by a moving vehicle she would be irreparably damaged. Ms. Fryxell states her concerns for her personal well-being and the well-being of others on foot quite thoroughly, but I was struck by the blatantly obvious flaw in her argument; the need for basic common sense on the part of Ms. Fryxell and other morning runners and walkers who are compelled, for whatever reason, to cross the entrance during this peak traffic time. Living quite close to Claremont High School near Oxford, I am acutely aware of the congestion on school days, and attempt to avoid this congestion by leaving early enough for work. This is where common sense and, indeed, a bit of common courtesy on the part of Ms. Fryxell comes into play. Why does she feel compelled to set her morning run that leads her directly into the path of this congestion? There are clearly other paths for her to take.

Consortium board votes to close Claremont Golf Course
he Claremont Consortiums board of directors has handed down its final decision: The Claremont Golf Course will close in early January 2014.
The announcement was made on Wednesday afternoon, a day after an independent audit of the golf course confirmed that the facilitys financial operations are no longer profitable. According to the audit conducted by Vicente, Lloyd & Stutzman, LLP on September 10, the Claremont Golf Courses expenses are greater than its revenue and, should operations continue in their current state of decline, its capital will soon run out. In a statement provided to the COURIER by the golf courses board of directors on Thursday, September 5, board members stated that revenue from the use of the driving range and golf course has shrunk approximately 30 percent since 2008, a decline that has accelerated within the past 12 months, putting the golf course in a position of critical financial distress. In their latest statement, board members reiterated that the golf course has not made lease payments to the Consortium, owners of the property, since October 2012.
Those payments have created a liability greater than CGC Inc.s total current assets, the board writes in their statement. Given these factors, CGC Inc.s Board has determined, sadly, that CGC Inc. must bring its operations to a close. Rumors of the potential closure began circulating in recent weeks after several instructors alleged they were told to stop booking golf classes in the latter part of this year. In phone calls with the COURIER, however, Consortium board members and golf course manager Dennis Bishop initially denied the potential closure. They later reversed their stance, informing the public in that the board would be re-assessing its options, including the possible closure of the course with a final decision expected later this year. The announcement, however, came only 3 weeks later. Most troubling to frequenters of the Claremont Golf Course is the effect the closure will have on students and seniors who rely on this recreational facility. Thousands of golfersranging from children to the elderlyhave used the course for annual youth clinics and tournaments. A number of local schools, including Claremont High School, depend on the course to maintain their golf programs. Patients from Casa Colina have traveled to the course
for rehabilitation and students from the Claremont Colleges have taken advantage of the course for academic credit. The golf course board has requested that the Consortium allow them the chance to use the golf course over the next 4 months in order to fulfill its obligation to the CHS girls golf team, students at the colleges, golfers of the fall youth clinic and others who have purchased promotional passes. The board has given a notice of its desire for an orderly shutdown to the Consortium. As of press time approval of that request had not been confirmed.
The land used for the Claremont Golf Course, which operates under a conditional-use permit from the city, is currently designated as educational zoning, Mr. Bishop noted. Despite requests for comment, the Consortium did not respond to questions about what the Colleges plan to do with the land after the golf carts stop running.
The closure of the 9-hole course and driving range brings to an end more than 100 years of golfing in Claremont. Golf facilities have been a staple in the community since around 1900, first

with the Indian Hill Golf Club off Foothill, where the botanic garden now resides. Financial distress and lack of maintenance forced that courses shutdown after WWII, but in 1960 golfers rejoiced once more with the opening of a second community course, the Claremont Golf Course. Golfers will have until December 2013 to grab their clubs and golf the hillside range of this Indian Hill facility.

City street usage issues dominate latest council meeting
peeds on Mt. Baldy Road are getting steeper. The Claremont City Council Tuesday night adopted a resolution increasing the speed limit on Mt. Baldy Road from 45 mph to 50 CITY mph. The increase COUNCIL is necessary to allow police to legally enforce speed limits on Mt. Baldy, from Padua Avenue to the eastern city limit.
A city speed survey conducted in 2012 indicated that a 5 mph increase was needed on Mt. Baldy Road and a number of other streets throughout the city. In July, however, the council approved adding traffic calming measures on a majority of those streets in an attempt to reduce speeds without raising limits. Mt. Baldy Road was not approved to receive traffic calming measures because the steep grade and curvilinear design of the street was not appropriate for such measures, according to City Engineer Loretta Mustafa. Another survey will be conducted in several months in order to see if the additional traffic calming measures were effective in reducing speeds. In the meantime police will be unable to properly enforce those streets speed limits because they do not comply with state mandates. Tuesdays decision, however, ensured that police would still be able to keep drivers accountable on the north Claremont roadway.
Foothill Boulevard speed increases postponed While the speed limit on Mt. Baldy Road will climb, officials agreed to maintain the 40 mph maximum on Foothill Boulevard, at least for another few years. Claremont council members unanimously agreed to extend the existing speed survey, conducted by Caltrans in 2006, for 3 more years. California code allows officials to extend speed surveys a maximum of 10 years if it is determined there has been little to no impact to traffic volume on the roadway being surveyed. With the extension of the 210 freeway reducing traffic on Foothill and balancing the traffic flow generated by Foothill corridor businesses, Ms. Mustafa believed the street has not experience significant changes since the last survey. With Ms. Mustafas recommendation, the council has opted to wait until 2016 to consider a change to Foothill Boulevards speed limit. More parking restrictions for wilderness area neighborhoods Fixing city streets was the theme of Tuesday nights council meeting. As city crews began installing permit parking on streets adjacent to the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park this week, the Claremont City Council approved an additional restriction to Via Santa Catarina, located off Mountain Avenue and adjacent to an entrance of Johnsons Pasture. The city will add 80 feet of red curbing and no parking signs to the end of the cul-de-sac on Via Catarina. A towaway zone will also be added within this new no parking area.
Though not all at the meeting welcomed further parking restrictions, the council unanimously agreed it was a compromise they were willing to make for the quality of life of Claraboya residents. Something is certainly not working at that entrance to the wilderness park, said Mayor Pro Tem Joe Lyons. Mr. Lyons believed adopting stricter enforcement of the no parking areas by adding a towaway zone would help alleviate residents concerns. Though its a pretty harsh shtick to be used, we have certainly tried every way possible short of that to mitigate some of the issues that have arisen out of the popularity of our park, he said. This isnt the first time the council has reviewed parking restrictions along the Mountain Avenue outlet. In February 2011, the council added residential permit parking on Via Santa Catarina to be enforced dawn to dusk, in addition to the red curbing already in place along the south side of the street. In December 2012, resident David Jacks, who lives near the end of the culde-sac closest to the park, requested the permit parking be extended 24-7. The request was denied as the council instead moved forward with creating an overall master plan to address issues, such as parking, related to the increased popularity of the citys wilderness areas. However, with the completion of a master plan still a year away, problems on Via Santa Catarina still exist. A petition, recently signed and submitted by Mr. Jacks and more than 50 percent of the streets residents, proved to officials that a reprieve in the interim was neces-
sary. Chief of Police Paul Cooper informed councilmembers that officers have been called up to Via Santa Catarina to ticket parking violators on a nightly basis, confirming the need for further restrictions. Not all were pleased with the councils decision. A couple hikers, who claim they have been using Via Santa Catarina to enter Johnsons Pasture for the past 25 years, were unhappy with further restrictions to the already heavily regulated street. Resident Sandy Schuster felt a significant compromise had already been made with the addition of permit parking in 2012. It is making is making it more difficult for me and members of the public who want to come and use a public good, to use that public good, Mr. Schuster said. We are removing the compromise. With a majority of residents saying otherwise, as noted by the council voted in favor of providing further relief to people like Mr. Jacks, while remaining in favor of reviewing parking issues holistically through the creation of a wilderness area master plan. The goal of this master plan is to ultimately balance the appreciation of our natural resources while maintaining the quality of life for our neighborhoods, said Councilmember Sam Pedroza. Im a strong believer in our open space...however, as a council member, I am going to be supportive of the staff recommendation so that we can address the immediate issue.

William Norin
William Norin, a longtime Claremont resident, died on August 31, 2013 after a long illness. He was 85. Mr. Norin was born in Berkeley, California on January 8, 1928 and grew up and went to school in Albany, California. He served in the Army, shipping out to Japan toward the end of World War II. Upon his return, he enrolled at San Francisco State University where he obtained his teaching credential. Mr. Norin got a job teaching second, fourth and fifth grades in Concord, California. During the summers he would work at Yosemite and it is there, in 1952, that he met his future wife, Pat, who was on vacation. They were married in 1954, a loving union that would last 59 years. He later returned to San Francisco University, where he earned his masters degree and administrative credential. The Norins moved to San Diego in 1957, where Mr. Norin served as curriculum coordinator with the San Diego County Office of Education. He then became director of curriculum with the Poway Unified School District in Poway, California. Mr.
OBITUARIES
and, throughout his career as a school administrator, maintained that he missed the classroom. Despite his dedication to work, he always found time for his sons, Thomas, Steve and Scott. A sports fan himself, Mr. Norin was supportive of their forays into activities like Little League. He believed it was important to make his children feel important and would take each of them, in turn, on mystery trips. On such occasions, the boys didnt know what their destination was; they just knew they were going somewhere special with dad. After retirement, Mr. Norin worked part-time at the University of La Verne as an associate professor teaching a doctoral cluster and administering the second tier of the administrative credential. He became president of Region 15 of the association of school administrators, which encompassed all of Los Angeles County. Mr. Norin was an avid reader, devouring autobiographies, biographies and historical nonfiction. He shared with his wife a passion for travel and the couple traveled throughout Europe over the years, from Paris to Prague, as well as to Canada and Mexico. Mr. Norins other hobbies included tennis, golf, membership in the local computer club, genealogy, coin collecting, traveling and crossword puzzles. He volunteered at the Planes of Fame air museum in Chino and delighted in joining his old tennis buddies, a group called The Geezers, at the Euro Caf for coffee. William was a loving father and devoted family man, his family shared. His sense of humor kept everyone laughing. Mr. Norins son, Thomas Norin, preceded him in death. He is survived by his sons and daughters-in-law, Steve and Jennifer Norin of Upland and Scott and Amy Norin of Anaheim Hills; by his grandchildren, Jeffrey and Mollie Norin and Andrew and Abagail Norin; and by his sister, Phyllis Van Ness of Walnut Creek. A family celebration will be held on a later date. The family asks that memorial donations be made to the Casa Colina Foundation (255 E. Bonita Ave., Pomona CA 91769) or to the Claremont Chapter of VNA Hospice and Palliative Care of Southern California (150 W. First St., Suite 270, Claremont, CA 91711).

Vera Smith
Vera J. Smith, a longtime Claremont resident, died peacefully on September 7, 2013 at the age of 95. Originally from Woodstock, New Jersey, she first moved to California upon her marriage to Mel Smith of Sierra Madre. Their honeymoon, spent driving across the country, began a series of trips throughout the US and the world during their time together. Over the years, the couple would travel from Belgium to Brazil, from Switzerland to the Soviet Union and from Austria to Africa, as well as to all 50 states. The Smiths raised their daughters, Kathy and Chris, in El Monte, California and Kensington, Maryland. While in Washington, DC, Ms. Smith particularly enjoyed her work as a docent at the Na-
Enthusiastic traveler, lifelong learner, loving matriarch

tional Gallery of Art. Another highlight of her time there was she and her daughter Kathy singing in the National Cathedral choir at Christmas. In 1970, after Mr. Smiths retirement, they returned to California, settling in Claremont. Both were active in the Presbyterian Church and charity organizations, with Ms. Smith taking particular pride and joy in her work with Meals on Wheels. She was a voracious reader of history who once thoroughly impressed an Elder Hostel group with her ability to name the first ladies of all the American presidents. Ms. Smith was known for developing a quick and kind rapport with all she met. Keeping in touch with friends and family, near and far, was very important to her. Visits with Vera left all enlightened, entertained and uplifted. She was a wonderful role model for all who were privileged to know her, family shared. Her grandsons, Warren and Jesse Knapp and Marc Cushing, say they were blessed to have a grandmother so involved in their lives. Ms. Smith was preceded in death by her husband and daughters. Those who knew her know that being reunited with Mel, family and friends brought her great joy, according to her family. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, September 14 at 11 a.m. at the Claremont Presbyterian Church, located at 1111 N. Mountain Ave. in Claremont.

Robert C. Sauter
Robert Bob Charles Sauter, PhD, died at his longtime home in Claremont on September 1, 2013 surrounded by family. He was 88. Mr. Sauter was born in Buffalo, New York, the eldest of 3 boys, and was a very loving and thoughtful son and protective big brother. After graduating from St. Josephs Collegiate High School in Buffalo, he enlisted in the US Navy during WWII to support his country. As a Hospital Corpsman, he was assigned to the Marines 49th battalion and experienced intense combat in Guam, Guadalcanal and Okinawa. After the war, Mr. Sauter attended Canisius College and studied economics and education. He became a high school teacher of history and economics in Amherst, New York where he met his wife, Joyce, who taught in the same school district. Since their first date in 1959, their love for one another was devoted, genuine and eternal.
OBITUARIES
Mr. Sauter continued his education and earned a doctorate from the University of Buffalo, New York. In 1968, he and his wife moved to California and had 2 girls, Laurette and Robyn. He was a doting father who instilled the gifts of integrity and ambition in his daughters through example. Mr. Sauters career in California was influenced by his training and missions with the Marines. He was employed at USC for many years, designing the curriculum for their medical school, and also worked with several state medical boards, evaluating and designing exams for licensing and certification. After USC, he became academic dean at the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic until his retirement in 1987. Among his many interests, Mr. Sauter enjoyed spending time with his family, watching football and managing his interest in finances. He also shared a dry sense of humor with everyone he met. He was a relatively reserved man, but extremely generous with his time and extended family. In his later years, he suffered great pain from health complications, which limited his ability to do the many things he loved most, and yet he never complained. Mr. Sauter is survived by his wife, Joyce; by his daughters and sons-in-law, Laurette Sauter-Gaona and Lawrence Gaona and Robyn and Michael Cole; by his granddaughter, Mary Cole; by his brother, Richard Sauter; and by his faithful family dog, Pepper. Bob was a wonderful husband, father, father-in-law, grandpa, brother and friend and will be sorely missed, family shared. No services are planned at this time. In lieu of flowers or a memorial donation, the family requests that you keep the honor and loving memory of Mr. Sauter alive by giving someone a hug or a smile, enjoying each day and living by the Golden Rule.

t was courtroom drama at Tuesdays meeting of the Citrus Community College District Board of Trustees.
After dueling presentations by 2 lawyers and emotional appeals from a resident and a trustee, the board voted 3-2 to apply to the California Attorney General requesting to sue longtime board member Gary L. Woods in quo warranto. Quo warranto is a legal proceeding during which an individuals right to hold an office is challenged. The boards vote was based on the conclusion of an ad hoc committee, consisting of board president Sue Keithwho represents Claremont and portions of La Verne and Pomonaand board vice president Patricia Rasmussen, that there is significant doubt as to whether Mr. Woods lives where he claims. Trouble for Mr. Woods, who has represented Azusa and areas of Duarte since 1982, began at the March 19 board meeting when John Fincher, former president of the Citrus College Faculty Association, questioned the legitimacy of Mr. Woods claim that he lives in a one-bedroom unit in the Saldano Senior Village Apartments in Azusa. Mr. Fincher said he had received a letter earlier in the year from a former mail carrier alleging that, during the many years he delivered mail to Mr. Woods Azusa address, the trustees mail box would fill up for weeks a time and then suddenly be cleared out. When the letter carrier questioned the apartment manager, he was told the trustee only used the apartment when he would work late and didnt want to drive home. Mr. Fincher told the board its curious that Mr. Woods, whose income includes a career as an attorney as well as a position as a Pasadena City College professor, would choose to reside in a one-bedroom rental, in a senior citizen complex, in a predominately fixed income area. He went on to note that the California Teachers Association, the parent organization for the colleges faculty association, had begun an inves-
tigation. Mr. Fincher said the organizations sleuthing revealed that Mr. Woods owns an office building and a residence in Pasadena and co-owns a $1.1 million, 3,200-square-foot home in Sierra Madre. He said it also yielded photographic and video footage revealing that Mr. Woods resides in the Sierra Madre residence, leaving there each morning and returning there at night, he said. Mr. Fincher directed the board to view the alleged evidence at a website titled www.firegarywoods.com. Any elected official is allowed to have multiple residences, Mr. Fincher noted, but under California Elections Code Section 349, you must have your domicile or primary residence in the area you are representing. Mr. Fincher suggested that the board retain legal council and take steps to vacate the Azusa position and begin the process to appoint a successor. Mr. Woods has denied the allegations from the start, a position he reasserted in an August 28 phone interview with the COURIER. Ive been a resident there for 32 years. Ive been a registered voter there for 32 years, he said. Ive always gotten everything at my address in Azusa. All my documents go there: my drivers license, bank statements, taxes, utility billsno different from anyone who lives in a domicile. At their April 2 meeting, the board unanimously voted to obtain legal council regarding the residency issue. Soon after, the board contracted with Chris Keeler, a partner at the Fagan, Friedman & Fulfrost law firm. Since then, there has been a clear split on the board. On May 7, Mr. Woods and board member Edward C. Ortell voted against the formation of the ad hoc committee. On July 13, they voted against extending the committee through September 30. Ms. Keith and Ms. Rasmussen deemed the move necessary because they had not yet received enough information from Mr. Woods attorney, George Yin of the Kaufman Legal Group, to create an informed report. At that same meeting, Mr. Yin cautioned the ad hoc committee to end its investigation and urged the board not to try and force Mr. Woods from his posi-
tion. He argued that the proper procedure for addressing residency concerns is through the quo warranto process. To engage in other, non-legally prescribed proceedings opens the district up to potential lawsuits and ridicule, Mr. Yin said. The residents of the district and Mr. Woods deserve better.
Parties trade accusations Mr. Yin met with Mr. Keeler on Thursday, September 5 at Mr. Woods Azusa residence, allowing Mr. Keeler to investigate the premises and collect enough information for the ad hoc committee to make a recommendation. In anticipation, there was a full house at the most recent board of trustees meeting. One of the first items on the agenda was public comment, during which time Shawn Millner, one of 4 hopefuls vying to unseat Mr. Woods in the upcoming November 5 local and municipal election, spoke. Emphasizing she was speaking as an Azusa resident rather than as a candidate, Ms. Millner said that the ad hoc committees reportwhich was posted in advance of the gathering along with the rest of the meetings agendahad convinced her that Mr. Woods does not live where he claims. She requested the trustee resign immediately, sparing college stakeholders and Azusa residents from this saga. Im confident that the Attorney Generals office will allow this board leave to bring suit against you for the seat you currently hold, and that a judge will further decide what we already knowyour interests lie elsewhere as does your domicile, she said. Mr. Keeler subsequently gave a summary of the report he prepared for the ad hoc committee. Along with examining an array of documents, from Mr. Woods utility bills to bank statements, he shared that he had conducted a limited investigation the week prior to the meeting. During this time, Mr. Keeler said he observed Mr. Woods coming and going from his Sierra Madre residence. While Mr. Yin presented some documentation that would support Mr. Woods alleged Azusa residency, other evidence seems to tell another story, ac-
cording to Mr. Keeler. The address of Mr. Woods Pasadena property is listed on his drivers license and, while he is in the process of changing his associated address to that of his apartment in Azusa, he only initiated the change on March 21. Mr. Woods records show that he banks in San Gabriel, which is quite a distance from Azusa. Furthermore, while Mr. Woods provided utility bills for his Azusa residence, they were markedly low, Mr. Keeler noted. The trustees electric usage was $6.45 in June and $8.95 in July, topping out at $20.10 in August. Mr. Keeler was careful to note that the evidence is not definitive. He saw Mr. Woods apartment firsthand and it did feature furniture, appliances and trappings suggesting that, in sum, the space could be lived in. Whats more, documents such as Mr. Woods phone bill and tax records provide some of the legal requirements for residency. With room for doubt, he said, the ad hoc committee is opting to take the matter to the Attorney General rather than to oust Mr. Woods from the board. A board divided Mr. Woods was silent throughout the board meeting, but that didnt stop Mr. Ortell, who has been on the board since 1969, from rising to Mr. Woods defense. Mr. Ortell took issue with Mr. Keelers description of the boards approval of the investigation, which he said didnt portray the split nature of the boards decisions. He also suggested when Mr. Keeler says evidence suggests Mr. Woods doesnt live in Azusa that he should clarify these conclusions are the result of conjecture. Mr. Ortell, who called the investigation a political charade, insisted that Mr. Yin be allowed to give a counterpresentation immediately. Ms. Keith demurred, noting that Mr. Yin was already scheduled to talk later in the meeting. Mr. Yin spoke soon after, refuting the conclusions of the ad hoc committee. There is no rule saying that an office holder cannot own real estate in another

Stop being the self-appointed police: Don't attack Syria

by Ivan Light
oth of Californias Senators have voted already in support of Obamas projected airstrikes against Syria. With all due respect to them, I deplore their votes. Attacking Syria would be yet another violation of inCITRUS BOARD continued from the previous page
ternational law, involving the creation of yet another coalition of the willing as a fig leaf for unilateral, budget-busting military action. The American people had more than enough of that during the George Bush era.
John Kerry says that civilization depends on intervening in Syria. I think that clich was introduced to American political discourse during the rape of Belgium in 1914, and then was advanced to justify Woodrow Wilsons war to end wars. If you recall, the First World War did not end wars; it begat the Second World War, which begat the Cold War, which begat so many others in the twentieth century. The defense of civilization has now become so trite and tired a call to arms that it amazes me the politicians still offer it, and expect Americans mindlessly to flock to the colors on hearing it. It is splendid that a Secretary of State John Kerry, has at last been forced to declare in public that the United States is not the worlds policeman. Past administrations just ignored the intellectual challenge the term offers and offered to a foreign policy based on the routine and frequent use of military force around the globe. And I must acknowledge that Secretary Kerry has finally convinced me that the USA is not a global policeman as I once thought. Policemen are paid for their service; the USA intervenes in the affairs of other countries at its own expense. That makes us the worlds self-appointed policeman, not the worlds policeman. These military interventions abroad are extremely expensive, too. The USA now spends almost as much on the military as the rest of the world combined. Half our tax money goes to the Department of Defense. If we were the worlds policeman, the world would thank us for our service and offer to pay. It does neither. It is clear since the G20 meeting in Moscow that other civilized countries do not support us in this self-appointed role of defender of civilization. If civilization were at stake, would not the other civilized countries want to contribute money and soldiers to its protection? Then why dont they? John Kerry says that this is not the time to change diplomatic direction. The drunk says this is not the time to stop drinking; please give me one more drink. The smoker says this is not the time to quit smoking; please let me have one more cigarette. Our destructive political status quo is begging for
VIEWPOINT
another fix: Please let us have just one more little war in the Middle East. In fact, this is the ideal time to challenge the military-industrial-Congressional complex that is leading our nation to ruin. For the first time since the mid-1970s, the American people have them on the run. This is the perfect time to deal a crippling blow to the military-industrial-Congressional lobby that, unlike Syria, really does threaten our countrys welfare and future. John Kerry says the air attack on Syria is in the US national interest. I agree that our national interest is a valid and important policy template. I can also see that embarrassing Obama in front of the world would not be in the interest of the Obama administration, including John Kerry. But the political interest and reputation of the Obama administration is not the same as the US national interest although Obamas spokesmen seek to conflate the two. If the US should stop being the self-appointed global policeman, should cut military spending back to European levels, and should just become a member in good standing of the community of nations, wouldnt that represent the pursuit of our long-term national interest? Political embarrassment to the Obama administration and to Secretary Kerry is of no consequence relative to that long-term interest of the American people. Isn't the diversion of our tax money to world policing undermining the viability of our economy, impoverishing our people, discouraging green investment by the government, diffusing militarism in our society, and turning our country into a national security state? Wont these hateful trends continue and intensify as long as the military-industrial-Congressional complex imposes its warlike foreign policies? Is it additionally in the US national interest to intervene in support of Islamicist rebels who are friends with those who attacked us on 9/11? Is it in our national interest to continue all these self-destructive activities or to draw a red line in the sand, signaling our determination to change political direction right here, right now? Hell no; we wont go still seems about right.
city, he said. Mr. Woods low utility bills, he added, are not indicative of fraud but instead of a busy schedule. Mr. Yin pointed out that Mr. Woods works 2 jobs and volunteers in the community as well as caring for his mother who is in ill health. Its little surprise Mr. Woods banks in San Gabriel, given the citys proximity to Pasadena City College, Mr. Yin said. The attorney also wondered why board members would doubt that Mr. Woods would want to live in his Azusa complex, given that it is safe and well-kept. Mr. Yin said the uncertainty of the ad hoc committee, along with the history of such cases, suggests the board has little chance of winning its suit. He urged the board to spare taxpayers what is looking more and more like a politically-motivated witch hunt. After Mr. Yins presentation, Mr. Ortell moved that the board take no further action. He went on to ask the board to repair its frayed relationships. Let the voters take their course, and let us get back to doing our job of keeping Citrus one of the finest institutions in the land. Thats my pleanot a vigorous one, but a heartfelt one. The board voted 3-2 to appeal to the Attorney General to sue, with Mr. Ortell and Mr. Woods dissenting. The subcommittee believes a substantial question exists whether Dr. Woods is a resident of Azusa, Ms. Keith said. For this reason, the issue merits consideration by the Attorney General, who is authorized to make an independent determination whether a substantial question about residency exists, and whether a public purpose would be served by a legal challenge to Dr. Woods office. As of press time, an application had not yet been prepared for the suit.

Business redefines repurposed, reprocessed home furnishings
he owners of Hamilton Two Twelve, a shop that recently opened near the corner of Foothill and Harvard, are redefining recyclables.
The upscale consignment shop which features repurposed home furnishings at reasonable pricesturns gently used items into reprocessed treasures. There is no bookshelf, bicycle or bureau that friends Jean Hamilton and Pam Wolfe cant find a new use for. With a little paint and elbow grease, they hope their eclectic collection inspires creative possibilities. Its all about making what you like work, Ms. Hamilton said. Thats the beauty of repurposing. Anything goes. Their talents, however, are not limited to repurposing. Plenty of items in the shop remain as-is, with brand-new or previously-owned pieces ready for the picking. And while the pair is known for their skills with the paintbrush, they also lend their creative know-how to those looking to liven up their living spaces. The Hamilton Two Twelve team offers personal design consultations, help clients set up and manage estate sales, hunt for new or used pieces for their customers and, when space becomes limited in their store and warehouse, display a lookbook showcasing highresolution photos of their customers for-sale furnishings. We like to feel we are giving our clients an alternative to selling their furniture rather than turning to yard sales, Ebay and Amazon. We are showcasing their items to get the best price, the best value that we can for them, Ms. Hamilton said. That combination, along with the help of the long-established neighboring business the Ivy House, is proving auspicious for the designers. After the Ivy House owner Jackie Dunn decided to simplify life and downsize her shop, Ms. Hamilton found the perfect space

to settle in. With the Ivy House and Element Home & Garden next door, Hamilton Two Twelve owners hope their addition will help build the little stretch of Foothill Boulevard into Claremonts very own home design center. So far, its an idea that seems to be catching on with the community. The store has only been open 5 weeks and the showroom has already been rearranged 4 times as chairs and china cabinets sell like hotcakes. But the eager owners dont mind the constant re-design. We love the turnover, Ms. Wolfe

said. It keeps the store new and interesting. Ms. Hamilton, a longtime entrepreneur with a former catering business, is happy to be busy in business once more, having realized not long after closing her catering company that retirement was not fitting with her active spirit. It took very little prodding from her friends at the Ivy House to convince her to return to the working realm. In keeping with the consignment element that has worked so well for the Ivy House, Ms. Hamilton and Ms. Wolfe thought a home furnishings business seemed the perfect solution. They met 8 years ago over paint and pedestals as Ms. Wolfe, a landscape and interior designer, was commissioned to do a redesign on Ms. Hamiltons Claremont home. A friendship soon developed over a mutual love for design
and home embellishments. When it came to opening up Hamilton Two Twelve, it was only natural that Ms. Wolfe would be a part of the mix. She has a great design sense and is a natural at knowing what works together, and can get it done fast, Ms. Hamilton said. I know what I like, and Pam has the eye. Hamilton Two Twelve opened on August 1, and their growing business has thrived off their friends desire to downsize. Just weeks after committing to opening their shop thanks to the encouragement of their neighbors at the Ivy HouseMs. Hamilton and Ms. Wolfe were inundated with their cohorts former furnishings. Incoming inventory has hardly slowed down since and the owners, along with sales consultant Katina Pou, are having a great time getting crafty. Pinterest, a pinboard-style social media platform allowing users to share crafts and interests, has helped inspire projects like transforming an old bicycle into their welcome sign, converting old picture frames and
mirrors into chalkboards and repurposing an old china cabinet to serve as a bookshelf or other storage space. Instead of seeing furnishings go to waste, the women of Hamilton Two Twelve are jumping at the chance to turn customers discards into new delights. There are a lot of people that are selling, moving, downsizing, and young couples that are moving into town. We want to cater to them, Ms. Hamilton said. We are encouraging others to clean out their storage space, turn over their old items and find a new piece to love and enjoy. Check out the offerings at Hamilton Two Twelve, located at 212 Foothill Boulevard. The store is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sundays from noon to 4 p.m. For more information, visit them at www.hamiltontwotwelve.com.

BERNARD FIELD STATION FIRE continued from page 3
to a Golden State Water Company truck using a saw that emitted sparks. The sparks ignited brush on the north side of Foothill near Harvey Mudd College and, although the workers tried to douse the flames with a fire extinguisher and shovels, the blaze quickly traveled under the chain link fence and into the field station. The [workers] threw up their hands and gave up, Mr. Sawhill said. Then I called 9-1-1. Mr. Sawhills home was one of a halfdozen that were briefly threatened by the flames. As the wind carried the fire from its starting point across the field station, thick smoke covered Mills Avenue and embers were falling on the roofs and yards of residences in the 1400 block of North Mills. Mr. Sawhill went home and immediately started to water down the premises. Ashes were hitting my skin. It hurt they were like little pieces of fire, Mr. Sawhill said. Still, he admitted it was pretty cool being able to watch the whole thing, from the point the fire started to the airplanes dropping water to the fires conclusion, when it was just smoldering ash. His neighbor, Tina Blair, was at home when the fire started. She was opening the house to get some air when she smelled smoke. Going to the front of the house, Ms. Blair saw the flames and quickly gathered her daughter and a few posessions and put them in the car. She told her daughter, who is a senior at CHS, to

leave. Ms. Blair stayed behind to spray water on her home. Ive been worried about that [field station[ catching fire for years. Now it happened, she said. I love the field station. She added that the firefighters did a great job. LA County Fire Station 101 was the first to respond in a highly coordinated effort between an estimated 200 fire-
fighters, including fire and police from the county, and the cities of La Verne and Chino Valley. After a phone call Thursday to Mitch Zak, spokesman for Golden State, the COURIER was directed to a statement on GSWs website, which read, in part: We are grateful for, and commend, the efforts of local public safety officials to quickly extinguish the fire. We regret that the accident occurred, and we will continue to
fully cooperate with local officials to prevent the occurrence of similar events in the future. Golden State Waters top priority is ensuring the safety of its customers and we deeply apologize for any inconvenience or concerns caused by the incident.

Hall on the Pitzer College campus. Free admission. Tuesday through Friday, noon to 5 p.m. or by appointment throughout the year. 607-8797. Through December 6: Emerging Artist Series #8: Danielle AdairOn the Rocks, in the Land. The documentary-performance-video installation, On the Rocks, In the Land analyzes the role of touristobserver, within contemporary conflict zones, and questions how a tourist perceives and experiences sites of historic and contemporary political significance. The project incorporates experiences of and around the peace lines of Belfast, the Berlin Wall, the Stone Walls of New England, the United States-Mexican border in Ciudad Jurez and the Occupy Wall Street Movement. By highlighting these sites, the exhibition explores the notion of play as a persistent and ethical form of resistance in relation to the physicality of a wall as defined by these specific locations. Although exploring the intersection of place, politics and play in these sites, the project resists the urge to enforce a dominant narrative, seeking instead to excavate unfamiliar forms of resistance and protest.

September 19 through December 5: Glyphs: Acts of Inscription builds on the premise that identities are constituted through acts of inscriptionreal or imaginedinto the visual archives that constitute history,
popular iconographies and artistic canons. The exhibition explores the consequences of such acts on the poetic and political dimensions of representation, difference and visibility. Working in photography, moving image and mixed media, the artists cannibalize and query such archives to create new image repertoires that point to the lacunaethe silences, absences, and erasurescontained within prevalent visual-historical renderings. These critical interventions challenge existing discourses, destabilizing the deeply ambiguous and often surreal taxonomies of raced, sexed and gendered representation. Marking the 50th anniversary of the death of W.E.B. Du Bois, Glyphs presents a slideshow projection of The Paris Albums 1900, a series of portraits originally commissioned by the renowned African American sociologist, activist and scholars groundbreaking American Negro Exhibit for the 1900 Paris World Exposition.

Mr. Dike contributed greatly to the California art scene of the 1930s and 1940s through his work in what would later become known as the California Style of watercolor painting. As the 1920s drew to a close and throughout the 1930s, Mr. Dike began to master the art of translating the effects of light and color into watercolor.

Visitors will view his impressions of life in New York in the late 1920s and his studies at the Arts Students League; his work in Europe, including his time at the American Academy of Art at Fontainebleau; and his travels afterwards. Paintings created after his return from his travels overseas will also be on display, as he continued his exploration of light and color by recording street scenes, architecture and landscapes in southern California and the southwest.

Slow start sinks CHS football in home opener loss
ith his squad trailing 16-0 at halftime in the season opener against non-conference foe Glendora, Claremont High School football coach Mike Collins had one message for his players. Come out tough in the second half and pound them to the ground. Despite a resilient second half effort by the Pack, Glendora held on to a 23-15 win in the 2013 home opener.
The Wolfpack, which was without 7 offensive and defensive starters due to injuries, had troubling establishing their offensive game plan in the early going and were forced to punt twice, trailing 10-0 at the end of the first quarter. Spartan kicker Caleb Watkins put them on the board with a 30-yard field goal and quarterback Matt Fink connected with wide out Ryan Moore for a 35-yard score to add on 7 more. The Spartans carried their offensive momentum into the second quarter, tallying 3 more points in the opening minute of the second quarter after a 42yard field goal by Watkins. Claremont, on the other hand, carried their offensive woes into the second quarter with 2 straight fumbles, one of which was controversial on a drive that saw the Wolfpack convert 5 first downs and march inside the Spartans 20-yard line. We were driving down the field, and we got down to the 17-yard line, Collins said. I think our kid was stopped in progress, and there were 5 guys ripping the ball out. They rip the ball out late, and they call [a fumble]. That hurt. If we have that drive right
there, we at least kick that field goal. At the half, Claremont trailed 16-0 and despite holding the Spartans to 6 points over the final 12 minutes of the first half, Coach Collins was not pleased with their first half performance. I thought our defense played uninspired, and even though we gave up 3 field goals in the first half, I still didnt think we played super great, Coach Collins said. Knowing their best football was yet to come, Coach Collins and his staff challenged his team at the break to come out and play hard in the second half and prove that they can move the ball, primarily on the ground. We said were going to rely on our big lineman this year, he said. We got physical with them up front in the first half, but we were missing some blocking assignments. And almost instantaneously, in a dramatic turn of events, Claremonts offense clicked. The Wolfpack tallied 15 unanswered points over the next 15 minutes, 12 of which came in the third quarter by virtue of both the offense and defense. Sophomore running back Cameron Gray, a third-string dual sport athlete, broke free for a 25-yard touchdown run to put the Wolfpack on the board 16-6 after a failed 2-point conversion prevented Claremont from adding on more. On the ensuing Glendora drive, Claremont forced a fumble and senior defensive back Joseph Blash returned it 45 yards for the score to bring the Wolfpack within 4. Claremonts defense would continue to be a strongpoint heading into the fourth quarter, but an 80-yard touchdown pass from Fink to Briton Noskoff with 8 minutes remaining washed away

COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff Claremont High School quarterback Craig Myers looks for an open receiver while being pursued by Glendora High School defensive back Colin Grady on Friday during the Packs season opening game at CHS. CHS lost to the visiting Tartans, 23-15. The Packs next game will be an away game on September 13 at Walnut High School. CHS FOOTBALL continued from the previous page
any aspirations Claremont had of being victorious. Senior quarterback and student body president Craig Myers finished with a very efficient night, recording a quarterback rating of 99 while completing 76 percent of his passes for 168 yards. Gray ended the night with a team-high 115 rushing yards and one touchdown. Claremont finished with a whopping 207 yards on the ground and 375 total yards. Coach Collins certainly sees room for improvement on both sides of the ball, and he hopes to correct the mistakes made last Friday against Glendora as the Wolfpack prepare to take on Walnut next Friday. I think we need to break the tape down and see where we were inefficient, Coach Collins said. We really pride ourselves on breaking down tape. We break every play down intricately, and well find out exactly what were doing wrong and correct it. As far as game planning and preparing for the Mustangs go, Coach Collins said it is not so much about the way they call the game, but more so about the way they execute said plays. Well see what we can do, but I think were going to stay with what we do, he said. Our offense is set, and our defense is set. We just need to get better at what we do. CHS will face Walnut High School on Friday, September 13 at 7 p.m. in Walnut.
After months of summer practice, the Claremont High School marching band stands at attention just prior to the Wolfpacks first football game for the 2013 season.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 480-5690 or (800) 843-0260 ext 5690 or visit this Internet Web site: http://www.tacforeclosures.com/sales, using the file number assigned to this case V542818 V. 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 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 monies paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee or the Mortgagee's attorney. Date: September 4, 2013 T.D. SERVICE COMPANY as said Trustee, T.D.

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 877-484-9942 or 800280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site www.USAForeclosure.com or www.Auction.com using the file number assigned to this case 7042.29661. 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. Date: August 20, 2013 NORTHWEST TRUSTEE SERVICES, INC., as Trustee Victoria Gutierrez, Authorized Signatory 1241 E.

August started off strong, with sales still happening at a rapid fire pace. As we closed in on the end of the month, it seemed the market began to slow down just a bit, with the academic year inching closer. August saw one of the largest sales months in years for $1 million-plus homes, being 8 of the 11 homes selling over $750,000. This of course skewed the averages slightly upward a bit. Remove the 2 sales over $2 million and average list/sold prices drop by nearly $100,000.

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!
