The Consortiums bottom line

Dear Editor: I was stunned to read Fridays COURIER reporting of the Consortium's decision to close the Claremont Golf Course. The only printable word Ill use is shame! Here we have a corporation looking only at their bottom line and seemingly caring very little for the community they operate in. Consortium, you are operating as a 501(c)(3) and yet, it appears, do not have any charity or creativity in you to allow this tiny bit of green space and recreation and learning site to continue to exist. You have stated that since 2008, the use of the facilities has shrunk by 30 percent. Well, duh! Didnt everything suffer from the recession back then? This course is a slice of heaven for young and old, with access for all, and should be saved. I hope that someone can step in that is not viewing everything as black and white and can see the other aspects of what it means to be a part of Claremont, where community and the people within make it a great place to live. A business is not really part of the community at large, if all they see is their bottom line. Nikki Coulas

Golden State Water puts communities in danger

Dear Editor: As a resident of Claremont, I have seen my fair share of southern California wildfires. However, I was shocked and angered to learn that Golden State Water

was to blame for starting the fire that put our community and homes in danger. Because of the actions of Golden States crew, we saw a reported 17 acres in Claremont go up in flames. Despite admitting that they were responsible for the fire, they will not be required to pay for the firefighters efforts, and the costs related to the water-dropping planes and, ironically, they wont pay for the thousands of gallons of water used to put out the fire. Regardless of Golden States inattention to safety, I am so thankful for our firefighters who worked diligently to protect our homes and, more importantly, lives in Claremont. They were prepared and ready when we needed them most. Now we are seeing Golden State at the center of another community crisisthis time near LAX. While they didnt start a fire this time, their employees were involved in setting-off a dangerous methane gas leak, requiring the evacuation of homes and businesses in the area for several days. Families were displaced and forced to stay in motels until safety officials announced that the area was no longer in danger. But this time they will pay. What is especially frustrating is that ultimately we, the water rate payers in Claremont, will be forced to pay for the damages that Golden State caused. The costs will not come out of Golden States profits, but will be included in next rate increase they will by lobbying for from the PUC in San Francisco. While Claremont continues to fight for local control of our water company, we need to be mindful that local control is much more than just having input on our

Disaster lets students study ecology after fire
he Claremont Colleges Robert J. Bernard Field Stationan academic resource for the Claremont Colleges and local community for decadesburned last week, leaving behind 17 acres of charred remains and numerous concerns over the resulting impact on environmental research. However, amid disaster, Claremont College faculty and students have found opportunity.
Academics have inundated the local field station following last weeks blaze, eager to take advantage of the opportunity to study in Claremonts new fire ecology. The language people use when talking about fire tends to be words like disarray, damage and destruction, but what Im arguing for is that this is in fact about creation, regeneration and growth, said Char Miller, director of the Environmental Analysis Program at Pomona College. Fire is a very creative force, he continued. Its devastating to be sure, and thank God the LA County Fire Department knocked that blaze down so quickly, but now we have a wonderful educational opportunity. We have this living laboratory right in our backyard. On September 11, professors, students and Claremont residents lined the south side of Foothill Boulevard, across from the field station as fire crews and 2 Super Scoopers worked to contain the flames, sparked by a Golden State Water work crew. While discussions ranged from alarm to awe over the first responders coordinated effort, once the fire was contained Mr. Miller and colleagues found themselves shifting their thoughts to what opportunities the fire presented, particularly in terms of studying the plant life. Much of the expanse of the Bernard Field Stations 86 acres is comprised of coastal sage scrub, which has become increasingly scarce with the build-out of Los Angeles County. What the students in Claremont and faculty members have the chance to do is not just tell us about what happens here [at the field station], but about the whole ecosystem across the world, Mr. Miller said. This is really an unparalleled opportunity. Nancy Hamlett, volunteer coordinator at the Bernard Field Station, insists the designated Code II fire was not as devastating as most think. In agreement with Mr. Miller, she believes the burn-down might bring an abundance of new plant life. The plants that live in that community are adapted to fire and, in fact, in order to maintain a healthy community you sort of need to have a fire every so often. Some plants need the fire in order to germinate, Ms. Hamlett said. The process of burning plants in order to regenerate them, Ms. Hamlett pointed out, is called stump sprouting. Field station workers have been asking for years to

have a controlled burn but have been unsuccessful in getting the necessary approval to do so, she noted. Over time, [plants and brush] get thicker and thicker and overgrown and some of the really neat annuals or smaller perennials cant grow, she explained. After a fire, you are likely to see more of certain plants that arent seen very often. Ms. Hamlett and other volunteers plan to keep a photo documentation of the regrowth, beginning with images taken from the same vantage points every month for a year. Diane Thomson, associate professor of environmental science at the Keck Science Center, has been researching the field stations annual plants and their dormant seedlings with her students since 2005. Although the fire swept through several of these plots, burning away many of these plants (as marked by little orange flags), Ms. Thomson remains unfazed. An important part of her research, Ms. Thomson relates, has to do with how changes in the environment are affecting some of the annual plants native to this area. One important change is the habitation of non-native competitors, mostly grasses, brought to California in the late 1800s. In many areas of southern California, these non-native grasses have replaced a lot of the plant species that were once common. Another important area of study is the change in climate and its affect on these plants. Fire is an important part of both those stories. The presence of non-native grasses has changed the frequency and intensity of fire in California. At the same time, its not totally clear how fire affects competition between those non-native grasses and native species, because the native plant com-
munities here are very fire-adapted, Ms. Thomson said. She plans to explore the possibilities with her students. In the case of my lab, were very interested to see what species come out of the seed bank in response to the fire, she added. Will this represent a good year for [native plants], or not? A lot might depend on what kind of winter rainfall we get. We are lucky to have data collected over a number of years on the plant community in the area that burned. This gives us some good baseline data to compare with what happens next. Several Claremont Colleges students are already looking into ways to incorporate the burned landscape into their research. Pomona College junior Madison Dipman, an employee of the field station, was on site Tuesday conducting research, picked up where she left off the day of the fire. Now, though, she has a slightly different focus. Ms. Dipman was on her way to the field station to set up insect traps when she received texts about the brushfire. She said she was freaked out at first, but her mindset soon changed. Its upsetting to lose so much landscape, but it provides an interesting opportunity, she said. Ms. Dipman looks forward to seeing the effect the fire has on the insect and arthropod community. Beyond her own academic aspirations, Ms. Dipman says the blaze has caused a buzz among her classmates as well. People are pretty interested in what [this fire ecology] can do to further their research, she said. For now, however, they will have to hold off. The scorched section of the Bernard Field Station is currently off lim-

its as Professor Wallace Meyer, director of the field station, resolves how to best divvy up the space to those interested in using it. That meeting will take place early next week, he confirmed. Its uncertain when the terrain will be open to academics and what it may mean for the field station, but Mr. Meyer looks forward to the concert of academic research to come. With the attention that the fire has brought, we are going to see a real collaboration of research that includes not just the plant life, but the entire ecosystem, he said. Thats what I am most looking forward to.

Fire came dangerously close to Live Oak Canyon homes
or the second time in a week, fire threatened Claremont, this time at its western border near Live Oak Canyon.
At 12:52 p.m. on Friday, September 13, Los Angeles County Fire received a call about a brush fire directly behind the LeRoy Haynes Center at 233 W. Base Line Rd. in La Verne, just a few hundred yards from Claremonts western border. The fire quickly advanced from the flash point in Broken Canyon into adjacent Live Oak Canyon, threatening homes in the unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County between La Verne and Claremont, according to Los Angeles County Fire Captain Roland Sprewell. LA County Fire, US Department of Forestry hotshots and air support from the LA City Fire Department knocked down the fire pretty quickly thanks to a coordinated effort. In all, about 130 firefighters were involved. About 200 people were evacuated from homes in and around the canyon, including the Briney Point neighborhood where several homes were threatened and at one time surrounded by flames. Among those evacuated were the staff and residents at the LeRoy Haynes Center and students at The Webb Schools.
Residential burglaries reported in north Claremont

As Claremont residents hustled to work on Wednesday, burglars made a sweep of 3 local homes. A home in the 2100 block of Oxford Avenue was the first target, broken into around 10 a.m. while an elderly man was home. The victim described the burglar as a white or Hispanic male about 20-30 years old with brown hair. Another residence was broken into between 10:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. in the 2200 block of Indian Hill. A third home, located in the 100 block of Avila Way, was burglarized between 10 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. It is unknown if these burglaries are related. There is no suspect description for the Indian Hill or Avila Way incidents. Any information on these crimes should be reported to the Claremont Police Department at 399-5411.
COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff A hotshot crew works at building a containment line about 300 yards from a north La Verne neighborhood last Friday during a quick-moving fire on the western edge of Claremont. The fire was stopped at about 40 acres and there were no reports of damaged buildings or injuries.
Daniel Maydeck, president and CEO of the Leroy Haynes Center, said that the fire was spotted some time between 12:30 and 1 p.m. and staff immediately began the task of evacuating the center. Non-residents were sent home while residents and staff relocated to a local pizza parlor. They then went door to door to make sure no one was still at the center. Briney Point resident Glenn Stewart was shopping when he saw the smoke in the hills. After making his way back home, a Los Angeles County Sheriffs deputy requested evacuation. Mr. Stewart had evacuated several times over the past 4 decades, but this was different. This one was the scariest one so far, he said. It came from the west, and the wind was from the west, so at one point big flames and smoke were coming up over my home. I put my groceries down and turned on the sprinklers and left.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation, according to Captain Sprewell. He said at this point it is considered suspicious in nature, but he would not speculate about whether it was intentionally started. By 3:30 p.m., firefighters had the blaze contained to 40 acres, but monitored the burn area and put out hot spots into the night. No structures were reported damaged and there were no reported injuries. Captain Sprewell cautions that southern California is heading into the traditional fire season that corresponds with the Santa Ana winds common in the fall. The vegetation is very dry. It has been curing all summer and then, as we head into fall, the fire season really gets started, he said. Residents should be particularly careful with fire this time of year.

Thursday, September 12 Residents in the 700 block of Occidental Drive received an unwelcome wake-up call on Thursday morning. Mary Perez, 34, of Ontario, took it upon herself to help the neighborhood rise and seize the day around 1:30 a.m. by repeated honking her car horn. While neighbors received an interrupted nights sleep, Ms. Perez received jail time, as it turns out she was intoxicated and unable to care for herself, according to Lieutenant Mike Ciszek. She was arrested for being drunk and disorderly as well as for an outstanding warrant. **** For a college student moving into her dorm on Thursday, accepting a helping hand ended up turning into an unexpected personal hand-out. The student alleges she was approached by a couple of 20-year-old men in the 400 block of Tenth Street, who offered to help her carry a box of clothes to her room. She

welcomed the help, only to discover the box and the boys were soon missing. Police have a detailed list of each item missing, but no suspects. Both young men are described as having a medium build and dark hair. One was about 5 feet 10 inches tall, the other was about 5 feet 8 inches, according to the victim. Any information should be reported to the Claremont Police Department at 3995411. **** Crooks made off with a treasure trove of loot after breaking into a home in the 1100 block of Cooke Avenue on Thursday night. An estimated $1000 in gold rings and $1200 cash was stolen. Police are following up on a potential lead. Friday, September 13 A resident in the 800 block of West Bonita Avenue received an unpleasant update to her car, parked outside her home on Friday afternoon. All 4 tires of
her Honda had been slashed with some choice words scribbled onto the car bed in black marker, according to Lt. Ciszek. More than $800 in damages is estimated. Investigation continues. Saturday, September 14 A local charitable organization was targeted in a Saturday afternoon burglary at the Claremont Packing House. Thieves entered the Claremont Forum through the stores west doors, which face the entrance to the parking garage, and made off with $100 in coins and $30 in cash. There are no suspects. A second nonprofit was nabbed just 2 days after the Claremont Forum burglary. Burglars pried their way into the Claremont Community School of Music, located at 951 W. Foothill Blvd., on Monday, September 16. They made off with 5 electronic keyboards to the tune of $1600. **** Some thieves got creative in an attempt to steal money from an ATM machine at Bank of America, located at
1025 W. Foothill Blvd. The bandits tried to strike it rich by attempting to break into the ATM machine from above. However, their clever attempt at stealth and savings ended up sounding off the burglary alarm. The thieves took off empty-handed. Monday, September 16 Cops and helicopters came to the aid of a man found unconscious at College Park on Tuesday night. He was breathing, but unresponsive, according to Lt. Ciszek. Officers allege an alcohol overdose may have been the cause of the mans unconsciousness. Since it was unknown if the man had sustained head injuries, he was transported to USC Medical Center via helicoptera part of LA County protocol, according to Lt. Ciszek.

EDUCATION
Treser Osgood has love of learning, collaboration
chool board candidate Nancy Treser Osgood aims to enhance communication between the Claremont Unified School District Board of Education and stakeholders like district faculty and staff, parents and community members, nearby colleges and the local business community.
Ms. Treser Osgood will begin communicating her own message, in anticipation of the upcoming local and municipal election on November 5, at a campaign kickoff set for Sunday, September 22. The event, which runs from 4 to 5:30 p.m., will be held at 50-Fifty Asian Cuisine, 201 N. Indian Hill Blvd. in Claremont. Guests are invited to meet Ms. Treser Osgood, pick up a yard sign and sample some Asian fusion cuisine. Ms. Treser Osgood, who has been director of alumni relations at Pomona College since 1997, has been regularly attending school board meetings for the last 18 months in preparation for her candidacy. During that time, she has found the council chambers only tend to overflow during times of celebration and crisis. With a bit of outreach, Ms. Treser Osgood feels its possible to drum up more community interest in the day-to-day doings of CUSD. One way to do this, she suggests, would be to move school board meetings around, holding them at various school sites as opposed to keeping them stationed at the District Office on San Jose Avenue. Perhaps the times could be varied, too, capturing attendees who are generally at home eating dinner when the board gathers. For instance, a school board meeting held earlier in the day at Claremont High School might end up packed with CHS faculty and staff and with government students, who are required to attend a meeting of a local government body at some point in the year. Another way the school board could strengthen its relationship with the various schools would be for each board member to serve as a liaison with 2 or 3 schools in the district, according to Ms. Treser Osgood. If she were to serve as a liaison for Vista, for example, she might attend a PTA meeting, sit in on a staff meeting or take the principal out for coffee. Its a way to strengthen the lines of communication and emphasize that were all rowing in the same direction, she said. Ms. Treser Osgood, who is delighted to have been endorsed by the Claremont Faculty Association, has an array of experience that qualifies her to help guide the local school district. With a masters in religious education from the Claremont School of Theology, she served as director of education at the First Presbyterian Church of Pomona and at the California Heights United
Methodist Church in Long Beach, prior to coming to Pomona College as associate director of alumni relations in 1989. Ms. Treser Osgood has 2 sonsone attends Williams College and another is a senior at Claremont High Schooland CUSD both attended ClareELECTION mont public schools since kindergarten. She has been an active volunteer at their schools, including service with the CHS soccer boosters, and is currently secretary of the Claremont Educational Foundation. In the realm of higher education, she is chair of the Southwest United States for CASE (Council for the Advancement and Support of Education) District VII. She is responsible for strategic planning, board leadership, financial management and overall administration of the district, which is comprised of 400 colleges in California and other southwestern states, along with a number of schools in Hawaii and Guam. Still, Ms. Treser Osgood has put in significant legwork to help prepare her for potential school board membership. She recently audited a class at Pomona College on politics and policy in education. She also just met with Sue Keith, Claremonts representative on the Citrus College Board of Trustees, to find out more about the districts relationship with its local community college. Ms. Treser Osgood was surprised to learn that Citrus welcomes more Claremont High School graduates than any other college, news that makes her determined the 2 schools should strengthen their partnership. She would love to see a meeting arranged between the boards of CUSD and Citrus that might help illuminate whether the district is properly preparing students for coursework at the community college. Ms. Treser Osgood would also like to see more collaboration between Claremonts public schools and The Claremont Colleges. One aim might be to encourage more Claremont Colleges students to volunteer at Claremont schools and with programs like CLASP (Claremont After-School Programs), an endeavor that would provide college students with much-needed real-world experience, often just a short walk from their respective campuses. Along with seeing more Claremont College students and faculty lending their expertise to CUSD, Ms. Treser Osgood would like to see the local K-12 students benefit more from the material resources of The Colleges. Pomona College owns a permanent collection of more than 5,000 Native American artifacts, many acquired by collectors at the turn of the last century, which is now housed at Bridges Auditorium. It would be wonderful if Claremont students could take a field trip there, perhaps coinciding with their fourth grade Mission studies unit, Ms. Treser Osgood said, noting that in many cases the students are close enough to walk. Through her involvement in the Claremont Educational Foundation, Ms. Treser Osgood has come to value the partnership
Ms. Treser Osgood salutes the current school board for achievements like helping CUSD navigate the financial crisis and inking a 3-year contract with Superintendent Jim Elsasser, paving the way for greater district stability. Still, she feels the board would benefit from her emphasis on communication and collaboration, particularly as the district prepares to come into several million dollars from the sale of surplus property such as the old district office and the soon-to-be-relocated service center. The process of spending that money, she said, should begin with the district revisiting its list of priorities. Once the district has communicated must-do expenditures such as the mitigation of safety issues, Ms. Treser Osgood said staff, students and residents should be given the opportunity to weigh in on the COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff improvements they would like to see NancyTreser Osgood, candidate for made in Claremont schools.

Big things from a small town

by John Pixley
ohn Wise. I wondered. Could it be that this guy, an environmental biologist for the state of Maine being interviewed during a segment about water purity on the PBS NewsHour earlier this year, was the same John Wise who was a student and assisted me while I spent a quarter and the summer term at UCLA in 1984?
Was this the same John Wise who also accompanied me on a trip to Vienna after I graduated from UC Riverside the following year? He had come from the East Coast, and he did return back east after graduating from UCLA Also, he was majoring in the sciences when I met him and went on to earn higher degrees in the field. And he did look familiar. More or less. But, after all, it has been nearly 30 years since I last saw him. I had not heard from John for a number of years, but I did have an old e-mail address, and I was able to find out pretty quickly that, yes, he was the same John Wise that I had seen on television. Wow! But perhaps I shouldnt have been that surprised. These days, I am not so surprised at who shows up on the PBS NewsHour and other current affairs programs. No, I dont see many old friends being interviewed on the tube, but I do see more and more professors from the Claremont Colleges. Its not that I dont exclaim, Oh, look, its someone from Claremont! I do. But its now not unusual to see a black studies professor at Pomona College talking about race relations in America or an anthropology professor at Pomona College being queried on, say, how AIDS is viewed in rural societies. There was Philip Clayton, then the dean of Lincoln University when it opened last year at the School of Theology, talking about the new venture to bring together ministerial students from different faith communities. TV isnt the only place where I see Claremont professors popping up. Last week, there was an Op-Ed
observer
piece in the Los Angeles Times on Vladimir Putin by Ilai Saltzman, a visiting assistant professor of government at Claremont McKenna College. Then theres Jack Pitney, the political science professor at CMC, who must be on speed-dial at the Los Angeles Times. Whenever theres a big political move, especially in Republican circles, the former Republican official who has been teaching for some years at CMC is quoted, giving a line or 2 of analysis, in the paper. Who knew that this go-to guy for political commentary would be in Claremont? Who knew that this small, quiet town, called a retirement community by a graduating Pomona College student a couple years ago, was a hotbed of experts who are on call, in demand, if not renowned? Yes, the Claremont Colleges have been prestigious for a long time. The 5 under-graduate colleges in Claremont have consistently ranked high among American institutes of higher education. This year was no exception, with Pomona College coming in fourth place, CMC in ninth place, Harvey Mudd College 16th, Scripps College 25th and Pitzer College 35th among national liberal arts colleges in US News & World Reports closely-watched rankings out this month. There is more and more of an argument that such rankings are not only irrelevant and meaningless but even harmful. Indeed, seeing the professors and the work done at The Colleges in the news is what, to me, makes The Colleges relevant and meaningful. It is a more real, more tangible and true measure, among others, of their prestige. Not that all the exposure that the colleges have had in the media has been something in which to take pride. In an example of the harmful effects of college
rankings, a former admissions official at CMC confessed last year to exaggerating statistics about admitted students. (It turned out that the manipulation didnt make much difference.) There was also, several years ago, the bizarre case of the CMC professor who staged the vandalism done to her car. There was plenty to be proud of, though, a few weeks ago when a documentary by Pomona Colleges Professor Betty Bernhard had its US premier. I have admired Ms. Bernhards work as a director in the theater department at Pomona College for many years, but I didnt know that she is a documentary film maker, and it was a treat to see this side of her. Called Out! Loud!, the 48-minute film follows a group of young lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in Pune, India, as they devise and put on a play called He, She, It (Toh/Ti/Te) about their lives. Through scenes from the production and interviews with the participants, the film explores what it is like to be an LGBT person in India, where Penal Code 377, a legacy of the British, makes homosexual activity a crime punishable by up to 10 years in prison even as homosexuality, bi-sexuality and transgenderism are clearly evident and legitimized in ancient and sacred Indian stories. In the same way as the Indian stage production, the film is eye-opening and brave. Ms. Bernhard, who has made documentaries and directed plays in India since 1990, reveals this world in a frank, non-judgmental some may say provocative or controversialway, as when one young man spoke of his father burning his lips with a cigarette when he spoke in a feminine way and another said he discovered that he liked having sex with men after being forced to do so. With this film, Ms. Bernhard opens our eyes to another world, a world that has been literally hidden. That its showing a few weeks ago at the School of Theologys Mudd Theater was more or less the first public event of the school year was most appropriate. It was a great kick-off to another year, a reminder of what a tremendous, widely respected presence The Colleges have become in quiet, small Claremont.

Mystery solved: Clearing up confusion over Connie & Dicks

[Editors note: Ask and you shall receive. In classic Claremont fashion, the request for details on Connie & Dicks Service Center was answered. Dick Bixels son, Claremont resident Jim Bixel, provided a copy of an undated COURIER article and, along with Connies great-granddaughter, a sixthgrader at Sumner Elementary, provided the details we were looking for. A huge thanks to them for sharing. KD]
From Dick Bixels son

Dear Editor: This message is in response to Lee McDonalds letter to the editor regarding the recent COURIER article about Connie & Dicks. I am Dick Bixels son Jim, and I can clarify facts about the business prior to the purchase by the Browns. Ive included a copy of a Claremont COURIER article featuring the history of Dick Bixel and Connie Nelsons business partnership.

This undated COURIER article, published in part and provided by Dicks son Jim Bixel, clears up the missing links of Connie &Dicks Service Center.
Dear Editor: My name is Melia Bartosh, a fifthgeneration Claremont resident and the great-granddaughter of Connie from Connie & Dicks Service Center. In 1946, Conrad Nelson started as a gas attendant at a gas station on the northeast corner of Bonita and Yale in downtown Claremont. Around 1958, he moved across the street as the owner/operator of the Mobil station on the northwest corner of Bonita and Yale. In 1960, he was introduced to Dick Bixel, who he took in as a partner in the gas station. Connie and Dick needed more space, so they bought some property at 108 Olive St. to expand their mechanics business. Shortly after that, in 1963, they closed the Mobil gas station and took over the Shell station on the corner of Arrow Highway and Indian Hill. A few years later, they decided to concentrate solely on the garage on
Olive Street. In 1980, they expanded to the current location at 150 Olive St. After retirement in the 1990s, Connie and Dick sold the shop to current owners Scott and Cindy Brown. Dick Bixel passed away shortly after retirement and, being a Navy veteran, was buried in the Riverside National Cemetery. Conrad Nelson (Connie) is still happily living in La Verne, loves to travel with his wife Mary, and still has
his love for tinkering with cars. Our family would like to thank Mr. Lee McDonald for sharing his fond memories of Connie and Dick and the service they proudly provided the community with for more than 3 decades.

Traveling with Jan Wheatcroft

Dear Editor: Being a retired old fellow, abiding in Claremont with limited resources and energy for travels, I want to compliment you for featuring Jan Wheatcrofts travelogues, colorful memories and her richly-flavored escapades. I can sit in an air-conditioned abode and vicariously wander with her, not having to swat mosquitos and sniff rank scents while visiting ancient places. Im grateful, too, for not having to suffer the pangs of those who still fly hither and yon via expensive, overloaded airlines and Homeland Insecurity procedures. Thank you and Jan Wheatcroft for this feature, and all of you who produce the Claremont COURIER. Those of us fortunate to read this local paper are much more in touch with this community because of your enterprise.

READERS COMMENTS
Delaware, Wellesley, and Purdue. By choosing to run on the east side of the street cuts down the number of intersections I have to cross from seven to one, and keeps me completely out of the way of folks just heading for work, thereby minimizing the number of drivers I have to interact with. If my running is deemed unnecessary by most parents, I wonder what common sense and courtesy they are teaching the children they are transporting. I believe I exercise common sense and courtesy in timing my runs, and in choosing my routes. It is disappointing that Ms. Coble chose to make negative assumptions about both. My earlier letter was aimed at encouraging drivers to accord me the same common sense and courtesy for the 1-2 seconds it takes me to get across a parking lot opening, not to mention to obey the law. Pedestrians are legitimate components of traffic flow; pedestrians on sidewalks and in crosswalks should be able to proceed at least in safety, if not with confidence. If Ms. Coble has any remaining reservations about my common sense and courtesy, she is more than welcome to join me on a morning run. I would be happy to show her some of my routes, and we can discuss the factors that went into developing those routes.

The memory of community

Dear Editor: Im writing this on September 12, 2013 after spending most of yesterday, like many Americans, interlacing my normal weekday activities with my memories of 9/11. Prior to my family settling in Claremont in 2003, I was fortunate, yes fortunate, to have the experience of officially relocating from Los Angeles to Manhattan on September 10, 2001. While it was overwhelming to be so close to some of the tragic events as they occurred, Im thankful that I was there to see the unbelievable ways that Americans of all shapes, colors and tax-brackets pulled together during that time of terror and tragedy. Placing aside, for a moment, the politics and feelings related to the sequence of events that followed the attacks (war, finger-pointing, polarization, etc.), its my hope that the words Remember and Never Forget, included in so many of the 9/11 tributes, can also be associated with the humanity that followed the events. While theres no denying that those words, as they relate to 9/11, will forever bring images of burning towers, smoldering rubble and the need for unrelenting reasonable vigilance, they should also be balanced with the memory of community. Perhaps this is nave of me to say not having lost someone during these events or the war(s) that followed, but it remains my hope. My images include witnessing the support and compassion offered to the ash-covered people making their way up the avenues, and the empathy and charity directed toward those grieving losses in the months and years that followed. Also included is a feeling of deep gratitude for the families and individuals that continue to place their lives in danger to defend our freedom. Again, regardless of your opinion as to the reasons why they are there, please remember and never forget that they are therefor us.

Pedestrians near schools

Dear Editor: Vicki Coble responded to my earlier letter concerning pedestrian and vehicle traffic near the high school with several criticisms of (her assumptions of) my courtesy and common sense. The incident I described occurred at 7:25 a.m., exactly halfway between the starts of period 1 and period 2 at the high school. I time my runs to go by the high school during that lull, after the frantically-late period 1 traffic, and before the period 2 traffic becomes heavy. Ms. Coble questions whether I have children, which I do, the youngest of whom is a senior at the high school, so I am familiar with the bell schedules of local schools and have years of experience with the hassles of dropping children off at school. I do not feel compelled to run past schools, but it is difficult to map a route that avoids all of them. For example, I have abandoned running on the south side of Base Line (on the sidewalk) because the parents dropping off their children at Tutor Time are frankly dangerous. She proposes that it would be safer for me, at the very least to run on the other side of Oxford and so avoid the parking lot entrance. That route would require me to cross Oxford, Scripps, Fairmont, Hood,
The threatening of the white folk

Dear Editor: I woke up Monday morning to read that Nina Davuluri became the first Indian-American to capture the Miss America title. I saw her picture and thought, Wow, she is beautiful. Apparently, a flood of nasty tweets followed her victory from those who did not agree with the judges decision. They suggested among other things that Ms. Davuluri is an Arab with ties to Al Qaeda or that she works in a 7-11.Seriously. Todd Starnes, host of Fox News & Commentary, blamed the win on a politically correct panel of judges and stated that the runner-up, Miss Kansas,
was not chosen because she represented American values, according to a series of tweets.Mr. Starnes definition of American values appears to be that you have to be white and like guns. Ms. Davuluri was born in Syracuse, New York, which makes her an American.Period. Perhaps she is in favor of gun rights, perhaps she is against abortion and gay rights and believes that we should continue to use Under God on our money and speak only English. There are Americans that believe these views. There are Americans that believe the opposite. Who knows where Ms. Davuluri stands?But because she isnt white, people like Mr. Starnes immediately judge her as being un-American. The fact that most people from India follow the Hindu faith and are not Arabic just points to the ignorance of these racists. America is a wonderful melting pot of nationalities, beliefs and political views. Diversity is one of the many things that makes our country exceptional (despite what Mr. Putin may say, but that is the subject for another time). The problem with right wing nut jobs like Mr. Starnes is that they cannot seem to wrap their heads around this fact. There certainly are conservative people in this country that embrace diversity. But to a racist like Mr. Starnes, if someone isnt white and following exactly their narrow definitions of American values, then they are someone to be ridiculed and belittled. For the rest of us, I say congratulations to Ms. Davuluri. She wants to follow in her fathers footsteps and other family members to become a doctor. She has graduated from the University of Michigan, where she has won several honors including deans list and National Honors Society. She appears to me to fully embrace a love for this country while also honoring the culture and heritage of her ancestry. I, for one, am delighted that she will represent this great country of ours and show the rest of the world what it means to be a true American.

Some dont like it hot

by JP Scheetz
or so long, the term global warming has been just an abstract concept to me, bringing forth the image of a lone polar bear, floating aimlessly on a chunk of ice. This image has saddened me, yes, but it was a problem so far away that it quickly disappeared from my mind. Until now. Until I listened to a lecture given by Dr. Alex Hall, an associate professor in the Department of Atmosphere and Oceanic Sciences at UCLA. I now understand how global warming will affect not only me, but also the city of Claremont as a whole.
Demystifying
SUSTAINABILITY
In the business as usual model, Dr. Hall has determined that by mid-century, the average temperature in Los Angeles will increase 4 to 5 degrees Fahrenheit. This may not sound like a big deal, but it is. When Dr. Hall examined what the effects would be on inland cities, such as Claremont, he discovered a great increase in the number of days of extreme heat (with a temperature greater than 95 degrees). Currently, Claremont experiences, on average, about 20 such days. Dr. Hall predicted that by the end of this century, if we conduct business as usual, Claremont will experience approximately 100 days of extreme heat per year. 100 days! Thats more than June, July and August combined. Personally, I start whining after only one or 2 days of extreme heat. Three months of it would ensure Id be positively friendless. I know, I wont be around in 87 years to suffer this heat, but my grandchildren will. Is this the kind of world I want to leave them? Absolutely not. Claremont would cease to be the Claremont we know and love. It would be hotter than Palm Springs is now and would become a place from which people escape during the summer months, or if they choose to stay, hole themselves up in air conditioned houses. Imagine that electric bill.
Dr. Halls research has taken the immense topic of global warming and broken it down enough that he can explain what it will mean to Los Angeles and the surrounding cities. In his presentation, Dr. Hall presented 2 scenarios. The first he called business as usual, which predicts what the future will look like if the behavior of human beings on this planet does not change. The second scenario, called mitigation, imagines a future where the world comes together and makes the drastic changes that will successfully lessen carbon emissions.
With these numbers staring me right in the face, I can no longer view global warming as the plight of the polar bear. I now see how it will affect my children and grandchildren. Business as usual shouldnt even be listed as an option. This leads me to the other scenario mentioned by Dr. Hall called mitigation. If the world can come together and make the changes necessary to lower carbon emissions, there may be hope. We cant stop global warming. Too much harm has already been done. But we can potentially lessen future damage. And isnt that the ethical thing to do? Fortunately, Claremont is ahead of the game. We have our own Sustainable City Plan. The nonprofit group, Sustainable Claremont, has created the Community Home Energy Retrofit Project (CHERP), which is helping homeowners reduce their energy consumption. We even have our own urban forest to take up carbon and keep us cool! But thats only the beginning. Theres still a lot of work to be done. So, now we need you. Its not enough that we bring our cloth bags to Trader Joes and Sprouts. We need to be actively involved if we want to change the future.

Robert Borrelli Professor, mathematician, wine aficionado

Robert Borrelli, a longtime Claremont resident, died on September 11, 2013. He was 81 years old. Mr. Borrelli was born on March 4, 1932 in Clarksburg, West Virginia to Giuseppe Salvatore Joe Borrelli and Giovannina Jenny Rossi, an immigrant family from southern Italy. In 1947, Joe bought a prune ranch in Gilroy, California but soon realized that he wasnt cut out for farm life. Within a year, he traded the ranch for a house and an adjacent apartment building on Julian Street in San Jose, making half of the ground floor into a grocery store, while Jenny looked after their 6 children and kept the household running. Young Robert showed an early aptitude for learning, earning himself the nickname Professor when he was still in elementary school. He grew up not far from where he would eventually attend college: San Jose State, Stanford University and UC Berkeley. What made his academic success so surprising is that, at that time, children from poor Italian families were all expected to work and contribute to the family coffers. All of his friends were planning on attending college, and he wanted to go too. Instead of broaching the subject directly, he asked his adored older brother James to ask his mother to ask his father, fully expecting to be turned down. When the answer came back Yes, he was elated. So as not to incur the wrath of his father, Mr. Borrelli snuck off to classes and returned in time to do his evening chores before dinner. Only later did he learn that James never did ask for permission, as the answer most certainly would have been No! Instead, James secretly funded his younger brothers undergraduate education himself by doing odd jobs. In the fall of 1951, Mr. Borrelli transferred from San Jose State to Stanford, with his room and board costs again covered by James. His college years coincided with the Korean War. Since he was registered for the draft, he had to apply for a deferment in order to continue his studies. After receiving his bachelors degree in mathematics in 1953, he applied for another deferment, during which time he earned a masters degree in mathematics, also from Stanford. In 1954, Mr. Borrelli joined the Army, serving in the Army Counter Intelligence Corp (CIC). Because he had studied the German language in college, he was assigned to a small intelligence unit near Offenbach, Ger-
OBITUARIES
Fellowship in Art, an endowment fund in the Stanford Art Department in honor of his older brother James. Mr. Borrelli also relished any opportunity to travel. His sabbatical leaves included residencies at MIT, the University of Bonn, the ESIEE school of engineering and electronics in Paris and Rensselaer Polytechnic University. In 1998, he was invited to visit the University of South Australia (UniSA), advising the school on how to start a program similar to the HMC Mathematics Clinic. In 1998, Mr. Borrelli was awarded the Henry T. Mudd prize for exemplary service to Harvey Mudd College and its mission. He retired the following year after 35 years as an HMC faculty member, but continued to work on numerous pet projects, including the formation of the Claremont Center for Mathematical Sciences (CCMS). CCMS was established in 2007 to promote collaborative research and creative teaching among the institutions of the Claremont Colleges Consortium: HMC, Claremont McKenna, Pomona, Pitzer, Scripps and the Claremont Graduate University. Although Mr. Borrellis career kept him busy, he also found time over the years to pursue various interests. He was a serious wine connoisseur, who enjoyed collecting wines and served as founding director of the Claremont chapter of Les Amis du Vin. Our Dad was many things to many people, his family shared. To his beloved wife Ursula, now departed, he was husband or Luigi. To his children, he was Dad or Daddy. To his 11 grandchildren and 5 greatgrandchildren, he was Nonno. To his students, he was Professor. To some, he was Uncle Bob or compadre. No matter what you called him, there was something about Robert that drew people in. He had a smile that was freely given. His eyes would twinkle when he spoke of favored topics: mathematics, Harvey Mudd College and its many clinic programs, his students accomplishments and, of course, wine! Mr. Borrelli is survived by his children, Monica Hess, Christina Franks, Stephen Borrelli and Margaret Murphy, and by his sister, Mary Stabile of San Jose, California. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the American Heart Association by visiting https://donate.americanheart.org and selecting Make a Memorial Gift.
many. It was here that he met Ursula Lebeda, a student at the University of Frankfurt who was teaching German to the GIs through the University of Maryland Overseas Program. After 6 months of dating, Mr. Borrelli married Ursula on July 7, 1956 in her mothers hometown, Bad Wildungen. Nine months later, their first child, Monica, was born. Upon discharge from the Army, Mr. Borrelli entered the PhD program in mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley and the family moved back to the United States. During his graduate years, their children, Christina, Stephen and Margaret, were born. Mr. Borrelli finished his graduate studies in 1963 and found a job working for a defense contractor. After just one year, he realized that crunching numbers for the government held no challenge and embarked on a teaching career instead. He accepted an assistant professorship at Harvey Mudd College (HMC) for half of his previous salary, moving his family to Claremont until he and Mrs. Borrelli moved to Upland in 1987. Mr. Borrelli enjoyed teaching immensely, and was proud of his many accomplishments at HMC. During his time at the college, he served for 11 years as math department chair and 22 years as director of the Mathematics Clinic, a program that he helped found in order to address the needs of industry-bound HMC math graduates. In the early 1970s, Mr. Borrelli set up 2 endowment funds in memory of his 2 deceased brothers: the Giovanni Borrelli Fellowship at HMC in honor of his younger brother John, and the James William Borrelli

Sharing takes on new meaning in changing economy
istening to business news lately, it would appear the American economy is on a roll. Corporate profits are up, the stock markets have had a great year and it even seems as though consumers are spending again. But many Americans are still not reaping the benefits of this recent growth and unemployment remains stubbornly high.
Frustrated with the perceived lack of opportunity, and also looking for a different way to get things done, many people are turning to an emerging peerto-peer network, euphemistically called the sharing economy or collaborative consumption. It works like this: People who own homes, cars, tools, bicycles and other assets rent them directly to users via a host of new websites and apps that facilitate the transaction for a fee. The phenomenon began in 2008 with the launch of Airbedandbreakfast.com, which sought to rent airbeds in San Francisco apartments to people visiting the area. The idea grew, with the assistance of significant investment capital, and now the renamed Airbnb offers accommodations from a single room to an entire castle in 192 countries with over 300,000 listings in 33,000 cities, according to the firms website. Today there are dozens of start-ups that use a similar concept to rent users assets or time. Popular sites include: Lyft for ride sharing; TaskRabbit for small jobs around the house; RelayRides to rent personal vehicles; and SnapGoods to rent or lend household goods. It may be tempting to dismiss these businesses as just another type of Internet-based retailing. However, just as eBay revolutionized the collectibles
market 18 years ago by providing a platform for sellers to connect directly with buyers, the sharing economy is similarly upsetting current business models by eliminating retailers. An article in Forbes Magazine published in January estimated that revenue flowing through the sharing economy will surpass $3.5 billion this year and will have a growth rate of 25 percent. At that pace, peer-to-peer sharing is moving from an income boost in a stagnant economy into a disruptive economic force, according to the magazine. As the sharing economy grows, its still concentrated in large metropolitan areas, even passing by the suburbs of these big cities. For instance, there are only 5 listings on Airbnb in Claremont, one of which appears to be spam. Car sharing website RelayRides lists 3 vehicles in Claremont and shows a total of only 5 rental transactions. But the effects are beginning to be felt. Recent Claremont expatriate Jess Block Nerren uses the task-sharing site Fancy Hands to help with her business, Felton Media Services. Over the past month it gave me back 5 hours of billable time. Its hard to calculate just how valuable that is, said Ms. Block Nerren. The site charges a $25 flat fee for the first 5 tasks and then $5 for each additional job. They will do just about anything that can be done remotely. She had them coordinate a conference call, research airport lounge availability in Seattle and book her sons birthday party. Its so cool that theyll do anything, she said. Claremont businesswoman Becky Kachlik has recently started using Airbnb to find tenants for her vacation rental in South Lake Tahoe. She largely manages the property herself, however, she has used Tripadvisor and Flipkey as marketing tools. Ms. Kachlik says that the process Airbnb uses to review potential renters is a little more thorough

than that of other sites and that she gets a better feel for the person. As a result, she feels more comfortable with the renters that come through Airbnb. She says, its a lot more personalyou can see the persons likes and dislikes. If Claremont seems off the grid in terms of the sharing economy, that doesnt mean people here are not taking advantage of these sites when looking for travel deals.
laremont resident Jason Cruz travels frequently teaching the Filipino martial arts discipline the Kali method. He has used Airbnb to find nice and affordable accommodations in England, Ireland and France. Its awesome to connect with people from other places, plus it costs less and you get treated very well, he said.
Of course, huge problems remain. Theres the creepy factor some have described at the prospect of having a stranger in ones house or the potential liability if someone is killed by ones car with a RelayRides driver at the wheel. Every new peer-to-peer business clearly addresses the safety and security issues, and RelayRides has a $1 million insurance policy, yet it remains largely unknown who is deemed liable if tragedy occurs and the damages exceed a companys insurance coverage. In May, the New York State Department of Financial Services issued a public warning about RelayRides and other car-sharing programs. Beware that you will likely be responsible for damages and injuries stemming from accidents during the rental period, and in violation of your auto insurance policy.
The agency went a step further, issuing a cease and desist order to the company. In response, RelayRides ceased operations in the state. Another obstacle for the peer-to-peer rental of real property is the presence of local zoning laws that regulate how homeowners use their properties. According to Brian Desatnick, director of community development for the city of Claremont, it is legal for a homeowner to rent a room in their home on a monthly basis, but not on a nightly basis. Chapter 16 of the municipal code section about the rental of rooms in single-family homes states that rooms shall not have kitchens and not be rented for periods shorter that 30 days. He also noted that the city probably would not crack down on the practice unless there was a complaint. It remains to be seen whether this will be a revolution of the economic model or simply another way for a handful of clever individuals to get rich via the Internet. Still, in 2011 Time Magazine included the sharing economy on its list of 10 Ideas That Will Change the World. Time noted that the 20th century was all about accumulating stuff, but that the next generation seemed more inclined to share. Theres a green element here, of course: sharing and renting more stuff means producing and wasting less stuff, which is good for the planet and even better for ones self-image, according to the magazine. In the meantime, this new economic venue will undoubtedly change how we look at the things we own and the goods and services we need.

CERT safety and preparedness class will begin soon

Its not too late to sign up for the fall Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training class, which takes place at the Hughes Center, 1700 Danbury Rd. This year, CERT training will be condensed to accommodate peoples busy schedules. Instead of encompassing 7 weeks, the upcoming course will start on Monday, September 23 and conclude on Saturday, October 5. Classes will take place from 6 to 9 p.m. on Mondays, September 23 and 30, Wednesdays, September 25 and October 2, and Saturdays, September 28 and October 5. CERT is part of a nationwide program to train individuals to safeguard their family and community in case of disaster. Claremont has its own team made up of roughly 125 volunteers who assist when emergencies occur so the city and community are better prepared to meet large-scale disasters. Completion of this course is a prerequisite to joining the citys CERT program; however, residents are encouraged to attend this training even if they are not in-

Local progressive groups to join in pipeline protest Memorial screening of John The Pomona Valley Chapter of Progressive Christians Uniting, joined by the Claremont Democrats, the Harrelson documentary
Claremont chapter of MoveOn.org and the Pomona Valley Interfaith Sustainability Council, will participate in a nation-wide protest against the Keystone XL Pipeline this Saturday, September 21. The local demonstrators will gather at the intersection of Indian Hill Boulevard and Foothill Boulevard from 4 to 5:30 p.m. The Keystone XL pipeline is slated to move tar sands oil from Alberta to Port Arthur, Texas. Opponents say this is the dirtiest source of energy extracted so far, producing many times the carbon dioxide emissions of coal.
The Claremont protest is a part of over 100 demonstrations across the nation organized under 350.org, the organization founded by Bill McKibben. When James Hansen, the top NASA climate scientist was in Claremont as a part of the lecture series, Agenda for a Prophetic Faith, sponsored by several regional churches, he said that if all the oil from these tar sands is burned, Its game over for the planet.
You are invited to join friends and family for a memorial screening of Dead Man Rockin on Thursday, September 26 at 7 p.m. Created by Roger Tessier and Michael Monteleone, the 80-minute documentary chronicles the life of Claremont music legend John Harrelson. The film will be shown in the Mudd Theater at the campus of the Claremont School of Theology, 1325 N. College Ave. in Claremont. There is no charge to attend.

From doctor to docent: Claremonter loves the LA Fair
he crowds, whirling rides and colorful attractions of the LA County Fair, now in its 90th year, are certainly a lot to take in, but Claremont resident Dr. Donald Huber finds himself at home amid the commotion. Its the excitement and fanfare that have drawn the local doctor to volunteer at the fairgrounds for over a decade.
When not practicing medicine, which he has done for the past 50 years40 in the City of TreesMr. Huber enjoys spending his time volunteering, whether with the YMCA, Casa Colina or the Claremont Colleges. But one of his favorite ways of giving back is through the time and money he has spent among the frenzied festivities at the Fairplex. Its about the people more than anything else, Dr. Huber said. I love the community. His beloved post as a fair volunteer began like many of his volunteer endeavors, through an opportunity provided to him by a patient. In early 2000, he was asked to join several of his patients as a board member of the Fairplexs Millard Sheets Center for the Arts. As an art collector, Mr. Huber was happy to take up the task, surrounding himself with works of art while, as a docent, helping other fairgoers appreciate the masterpieces. What I like the most is what [curator] Tony Sheets has done with the space, Mr. Huber explained. He has put so much time and thought into each artist and project he has selected. They all tell a story. When not helping out as a board member or a docent, he has also contributed as an art donor himself. One of his pieces, a mammoth tusk engraved with miniature horses, was featured at the museums Hoofprints: The Horse in Art, Legend and Action exhibition in 2008. He has also played ringleader to the hundreds of school kids that funnel through the fairgrounds each year courtesy of The Learning Centers at the Fairplex. Its a full day for students and leaders, beginning at 8:30 a.m. and including trips through a number of the fairs exhibitions, but the kids are a breath of fresh air for Dr. Huber. They are the high point for me, he said. They get so excited over the stuff that they see, especially the dinosaur show. Though by now Dr. Huber is well-acquainted with the fairs many offerings, he admits the fairgrounds still hold a bit of magic for him as well. When not volunteering at The Learning Center or Millard Sheets, he can be found spending his time at the evening concerts, taking his annual fair trip with his grandkids or adding to his art collection, bargaining with the different fair vendors.
COURIER photo/Ryan Gann Claremont resident Don Huber listens to the tour being given by Jim Cogin on Friday at the Millard Sheets Center for the Arts at the Pomona Fairgrounds. Dr. Huber began docent training for the Millard Sheets Complex last week, but has been involved with the arts center since 2000.
As his students glean new information from the educational displays, Dr. Huber is also learning from the fairs many exhibitions. He has quite the garden at his Webb Canyon home from flexing his green thumb over the years with the help of the LA County Fairs garden show. Through another hobby picked up at the county fair, Dr. Huber also has an impressive pack of chickens, ducks, emus and alpacas to rival the fairs barnyard showing. Dr. Huber and his animal friends have come away from the Fairplex with numerous first-prize blue ribbons in tow. But a doctor through and through, the avid dogooder is always happy to put his expertise to use
whenever the need arises. That sometimes means helping out in a pinch when a jockey is hurt at the horse races or tending to other injuries at the Fairplex. In recent days, Dr. Hubers time at the fair has also been spent with eyes focused on his hometown, helping the Claremont committee prepare for Claremont Day at the Fair, taking place this year on Thursday, September 26. Festivities will begin with a 3:30 p.m. community reception at Mr. Hubers favorite, The Millard Sheets Center for the Arts, followed by the Claremont parade through the fairgrounds at 5 p.m.

Community invited to say hello to former Superintendent Keeler

Friends and colleagues of former Claremont Unified School District Superintendent Douglas Keeler and his wife Susan are invited to an open house on Monday, September 30 between 3:30 and 7 p.m. at the El Ranchero Restaurant, 984 W. Foothill Blvd. in Claremont. The Keelers will be in Claremont on a cross-country visit. Superintendent Keeler served in the Claremont schools for 13 years from 1990-2003 and during that period became acquainted with not only those in the schools, but many members of the community as well. Following his retirement, he and Ms. Keeler made their home in Williamsburg, Virginia until recently when they relocated to Naples, Florida. The event will include Mexican treats compliments of El Ranchero owner Jose Haro and a cash bar. Additional information is available by contacting Devon Freitas at 399-9909.

Dr. Huber emulates the pose of a statue while assisting docent Jim Cogin with a student tour of the Millard Sheets Center for the Arts on Friday at the Pomona Fairplex. Dr. Huber shadowed Mr. Cogin while training to become a docent at the Millard Sheets center including the tour by the sixth grade class from Harrison Elementary in Pomona.

and a salute to the community heroes at 5:30 p.m. Look for the good doctor atop one of the community floats, another highlight of his festival experience. Dr. Huber has lived and worked all over the country, from Honolulu to Anchorage to San Francisco and New York, but he is quite content with his patients here in Claremont, and with a little bit of extra time to indulge in volunteer work and some fair time fun. Theres nothing quite like it. Join Dr. Huber and other Claremonters on Claremont Day at the Fair with a special discount for locals. Admission for Claremont residents on Claremont Day will be reduced to $5 when you enter Claremont at lacountyfair.com/onlinetickets. For more information, visit www.lacountyfair.com.

New principal arrives with fresh ideas, ready to face challenges at San Antonio High School
ean Delgado, the new principal of San Antonio High School, believes that simple changes can be revolutionary.
His first move at the helm of Claremonts continuation school has been to create an Associated Student Body (ASB) organization. He has hired Ashley DiGiulio to serve as activities director as well as to teach science. Though starting from scratch, they are enthusiastic about getting San Antonios ASB off the ground. Activities make school fun, Mr. Delgado said. If you make school fun, kids are more likely to go to school and participate. The students have been responsive, with a contingent already expressing interest in forming a fashion club. The administrator feels that participation in such associations offers kids an opportunity to pursue extracurricular interests, to foster leadership, to learn how to fail and to master important skills like fundraising. Students transfer to San Antonio because they are at risk of not graduating. Given that Mr. Delgados first job out of college was with Boys Republic in Chino Hills, a school for troubled teenagers requiring highly structured supervision, he is used to dealing with kids in need of intervention. The administrator, however, who previously served as assistant principal at Nogales, Chino Hills and Don Lugo high schools, doesnt see the students at San Antonio as being much different from other teens. Ive taught students in placement and students going to Yale and Stanford, and Ive found out that kids all have the same kind of needs, he said. They all want to feel accepted and they all have levels of responsibility. While students at San Antonio High School (SAHS) often have a number of credits to make up in order to receive their diplomas, Mr. Delgado said what is most needed is often an infusion of confidence. I talked to one kid and they said, Im dumb in math. Im dumb in school. Im going to end up like my family, who are all dropouts, he related. What I say is, You havent really tasted success, but itll happen here. With a little effort, itll happen for you. Theres a lot of talent at SAHS, Mr. Delgado said, noting that one student has a black belt, another gets paid $15 an hour as a server at the Candlelight Pavilion and another sings and plays guitar. Sometimes, he said, students get so fixated on their challenges, they fail to see that the talents they have will carry them through. Mr. Delgado, who studied political science at Berkeley and earned his masters at UCLA, believes his own talent

Chicken in Claremont coop tests positive for West Nile
an Gabriel Valley Mosquito and Vector Control has put locals on heightened alert after the West Nile Virus was found in a chicken coop located in northeast Claremont late last week.
Vector Control keeps 10 coops throughout the San Gabriel Valley where chickens are tested every 10 days to 2 weeks for antibodies associated with the West Nile Virus. On Thursday, September 12, at the coop located north of the Claremont Colleges, one chicken tested positive for the mosquito-borne virus. The Claremont finding is just one of several cases of West Nile confirmed in chicken coops in the San Gabriel Valley within the past month. Other confirmed cases of the potentially harmful virus were found in Arcadia, Irwindale and Monterey Park. An estimated 74 human infections of West Nile have been reported in LA County this year alone, 12 of which were found in the San Gabriel Valley, according to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health. While no human cases have been reported in the city of Claremont at this time, Vector officials remain concerned because not every case results in West Nile neuroinvasive disease. Only one in an estimated 150 infections result in severe illness, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Further, Kenn Fujioka, district manager for the San Gabriel Mosquito and Vector Control District, believes it possible that 1300 cases of West Nile have gone untested and unreported. This level of under-reporting leaves residents with the mistaken impression that West Nile Virus is not a big problem so they do not take these warnings seriously, Mr. Fujioka said in a statement. Any patient or their family members would testify that getting sick from West Nile virus is not a trivial issue." Vector employees have increased inspections throughout the San Gabriel Valley, Mr. Fujioka notes, in hopes of monitoring standing water for infected
mosquitos. Locals are also asked to take the necessary precautions to prevent the virus spread, especially in the months of August and September when West Nile transmission is believed to be most prevalent. West Nile is continuously present throughout the summer here in southern California; the mosquitos are more active, the virus multiplies more quickly when it is warm, Mr. Fujioka said. We dont have a big staff and we need the public to modify their behavior so that risk is reduced, from making sure screens are intact to maintaining swimming pools to making sure their gutters arent collecting standing water. Small, forgotten pots or nooks in residents backyards are also a common source of standing water that often goes undetected. As Vector employees inspect well-established sources of standing water, residents are encouraged to do their part to not only prevent the
virus from spreading, but from contracting the virus themselves. Mr. Fujioka encourages San Gabriel Valley residents to avoid outdoor activity between the hours of dusk and dawn and to wear light-colored, tightly-weeved long sleeves and pants as well as repellent when outdoors during those hours. Candles or zappers should not be relied on to avoid mosquito bites. Residents who come across dead birds, especially crows, are asked to report the incident to the local Vector Control district, as birds are prone to contracting the West Nile Virus. For reports of dead birds, or requests for help in removing standing water, contact the San Gabriel Valley Mosquito and Vector Control at 626-814-9466 or www.sgvmoquito.org.

Free admission. 6073397 or www.scrippscollege.edu/williamson-gallery/. Through October 13: Chasing Daylight, Philip Latimeer Dike 1927-1943. 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. In those early years, his fascination with this work led the rather shy and private artist on a journey throughout the United States and Europe. With more than 50 paintings, the exhibition tells the story of these years in detail. 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.

All about Joel Harper: musician, author of All the Way to the Ocean
he COURIER is delighted to present our secondever Claremont Kids section. This time around, we have a story written by a cub reporter from Oakmont Elementary School, 4th grader Ady Bolinger.
A stork appears to be unhappy in its polluted environment in Joel Harpers childrens book All the Way to the Ocean.
Ady, 9, recently took some time to talk to Joel Harper, author of All the Way to the Ocean, a book about the things we do that dirty our oceans and how we can stop polluting them. Her story turned out great and inspired us to take an ocean theme for this editions kids pages. For more information on Mr. Harpers book and the upcoming movie it has inspired, visit www.allthewaytotheocean.com. Our favorite part of Claremont Kids is that it showcases work by kid reporters and photographers. We have been hearing lately from lots of our youngest readers who are interested in putting their creative stamp on a COURIER feature, and wed love to hear from more. Were also looking for your jokes, drawings, recipes and other ideas. For instance, you might want to send us a photograph of your favorite pet with a caption describing why he or she is so special. Please include your name, age and school. As with anything you do online, make sure its okay with your parents first.

Photo spectial to the COURIER Nine-year-old Ady Bolinger reports on Joel Harpers book.
[Editors note: Ady Bolinger, 9, is a fourth grade student at Oakmont Elementary School. Joel Harpers book, All the Way to the Ocean, is available at the Folk Music Center, museum gift shops and on Amazon.com.]
nybody who has ever been to the Folk Music Center knows that the things they sell there are very interesting, but did you know that the people who grew up there are also very interesting?
Like Joel Harper. He is an author, musician and a dad (or as he put itMr. Mom). He plays a lot of instruments. He plays didgeridoo, slide guitar, lots of percussion and the Native American flute. He says he does not have a favorite instrument, he loves them all. Joel loves to be a dad, and loves to see his kids smile or laugh. He and his wife believe in attachment parenting. Joel says it is very hard. He does not have a lot of babysitters. He has 2 young boys, Matheo, who is one, and Enzo, who is 5. Joel is known for his book All the Way to the Ocean. This book is about how important it is to not throw trash in the no dumping drains because the animals get sick and die. Joel got inspired to write his book because in Claremont he began to notice the no dumping signs on the curbs by the drains and noticed that there was trash in the no dumping areas. During his research, one of the things he learned was in a very heavy storm it only takes 2 hours for the trash to get to the oceans. Joel says the book was easy to write, but the editing process was very hard. He calls his editor his saint! At first he wrote too many words for a short book. Then he opened his own publishing company, because other publishing companies thought that the book was
too depressing for kids. For example, the book has pictures of fish swallowing cigarette butts. Isaac and James, the main characters, are based on Joel and his best friend when they were young. For this book, he found his illustrator on a website that his younger brother Peter had where artists would submit their art and people would vote for the winner every month. Joel is excited because All the Way to the Ocean is being made into a movie! Joel is in the process of writing 2 other books. There is one called Waves of Change. This book will be out in the spring and theres no words, just illustrations. Joel told his artist how he envisioned the story. His illustrator drew every word he described. This book is also about cleaning up our environment. Its about a 12-year-old girl who cleans up a lot of trash on the beach and
finds a way to be creative with it. Then she shows her teacher and she thinks its so great that the school goes to the beach and has a big beach cleanup! The other book Joel is writing is called Frankie Learns the Blues, which is based on true events. Its about a boy who is about 13 whose grandma asked him, Frankie, do you want to go to a blues concert? Frankie says, Well, whats the blues? I like hip hop and rap. So she takes him to the concert and he falls in love with the blues, and wants to play the blues. He digs out an old guitar and he meets this homeless man who teaches him how to play the blues. Joel says that this book is about a lot of things. Its about dont judge a book by its cover, a homeless man with a good spirit and not giving up on your dream. Joels illustrator for this book is a dear friend of his. Joel is a great man with great books. He also has a lot of hobbies like hiking, taking walks, reading, skateboarding, biking and eating his wifes cookies. So, make sure to look out for Joels new books and movie!

Having a ball
Everyone needs to blow off steam and so zookeepers give their animals toys to keep them happy and having fun. But when you bring sharp teeth, long claws, plenty of pounds and boundless energy into the equation, youre looking at a lot of toy turnover. Enter the One World Futbol, a nearly indestructible ball that takes a licking and keeps on ticking. The same size as a standard soccer ball, it never goes flat and doesnt pop, even when punctured multiple times. It is being used at animal shelters across the world, from the Oakland Zoo in San Francisco to the Johannesburg Zoo in South Africa. One of the One World Futbols biggest fans is Ralph, an elderly Aldabra tortoise who makes his home at the Oakland Zoo. According to the zoological manager, Margaret Rousser, the giant tortoise can lay down on the ball and it will simply snap into shape when he stands. It is particularly difficult to find an enrichment item that can withstand the weight of a 600-pound tortoise, and its even more difficult to find something that a 100-year-old animal will become actively engaged in, she said. We wonder how the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles would treat this tough-as-nails toy.
A visit from Kareem

Basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar will stop by Mrs. Nelsons Toy and Book Shop in La Verne on Friday, October 11 at 7 p.m. to meet fans and sign his new book, Sasquatch in the Paint, which is aimed at middle school readers. At 7 foot 2 inches, the longtime Lakera record 6-time NBA Most Valuable Playercan understand the challenges faced by his eighth grade protagonist Theo Rollins. Theo is starting school 6 inches taller, and his new height is making everyone expect more from him. Coach Mandrake wants to transform him from science geek into star basketball player, even though Theo has little experience with the game. When Theo tries to hone his skills by playing pickup ball in the park, kids are eager to include him at first; then they quickly see that he has no control of his gangly body, earning him the nickname of Sasquatch. To make matters worse, all his time spent on training is starting to hurt his science clubs chances of winning the Aca-lympics, the schools trivia competition. Just when Theo thinks he cant handle any more pressure, hes accused of stealing. Can he find the real thief before he is kicked off the basketball and science club teams, or will his attempt at sleuthing be yet another air ball? This is a ticketed event, with your ticket being the purchase of Sasquatch in the Paint through Mrs. Nelsons Toy and Book Shop. You can either stop in to pre-purchase your copy of Mr. Abdul-Jabbars book or do so through the bookstores website at www.mrsnelsons.com. Mrs. Nelsons is located at 1030 Bonita Ave. in La Verne. For more information, call 599-4558.

Sweeney Todd brings twisted flair to Candlelight
s fall brings darker nights and the promise of Halloween, the Candlelight Pavilion dinner theater is taking its own dark turn. The local dinner theater trades in its usual lighthearted offerings for its latest presentation, Stephen Sondheims twisted tale of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.
But with risk comes rewards, the beloved playhouse has discovered, and the Bollinger family and their Candlelight players arent afraid to take chances. Following the success of controversial shows like The Full Monty and Miss Saigon, they are hoping that the musical thrillers vocal strength and powerful messages are as haunting as the plays first number. Yes, theres blood and guts, but everybody knows its theatrical, said John LaLonde, who is not only the Candlelights artistic director but also happens to play the musicals eponymous character. [Sweeney Todd] is an incredible piece that needs to be played on this stage, so I pushed for it and pushed for it and eventually they gave in. Im glad they did. Mr. LaLonde and director Chuck Ketter know that the heavy play can be a bad bedfellow with a gourmet dinner, and preconceived notions that the play will be as blood-filled as the film presents an uphill battle. Despite the challenges, they refuse to sugarcoat their show. I wanted to do what Stephen Sondheim wrote the show to do, which was to see if we could scare a contemporary audience, Mr. Ketter said. Tim Burtons on-screen version, which used gore excessively, is toned down to fit the stage with red stage lighting and the moderate use of fake blood. The dark comedy, winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical and Olivier Award for Best New Musical, starts off on a somber note as the cast gathers on Fleet Street in 19th-century London. The play grows grimmer as the barber Benjamin Barker returns to town after a 15year exile over false charges handed down by a corrupt judge, coveting Mr. Barkers wife and daughter for himself. Mr. Barker, redubbed Sweeney Todd, reunites with his razor to exact revenge on the judge and those helpless people who stumble into his Fleet Street barber shop. With the aid of his landlordthe slightly crazed, self-serving Mrs. Lovett, played by Debbie Prutsmanhis victims are sealed off, disposed of and served up hot with a bit of flaky crust at Mrs. Lovetts pie shop. As unsavory as the plot sounds, the Candlelights production seamlessly circumnavigates the grotesque, drawing hearty laughs even in the midst of the macabre. The audience is so heartily engrossed by musical numbers like A Little Priest that one almost forgets the
The Basics
WHAT: Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street WHEN: Thursdays, Fridays and Saturday evenings through October 13. Dinner seating is at 6 p.m. with curtain call at 8:15 p.m. Saturday and Sunday matinees, 11 a.m. with show time at 12:45 p.m., and Sunday evening performances with dinner at 5 p.m. and the show at 6:15 p.m. WHERE: Candlelight Pavilion, 455 W.

song is about the fillings of Mrs. Lovetts (best-selling) meat pies. While part of the magic lies with the casts vocal poweras integral to Sondheims production as Sweeneys razor bladesthe other most certainly lies with the electricity between Mr. LaLonde and Ms. Prutsman. Among Broadways most iconic musical pairings, Sweeney Todd and Mrs. Lovett stand near the top. Their constant quips and bizarre relationship breathe life amid the lifeless, and Mr. LaLonde and Ms. Prutsman do the pairing justice. They are aided by the fact that they have played opposite each other in previous roles and have been longtime friends. When you work with someone new, even if they are a great name, you are always a little scared, Ms. Prutsman said. Are they great because they are just going to take it all for themselves or are they great because they know how to collaborate? [With John] there was comfort going in. I knew I could depend on him. Ms. Prutsman is no stranger to the lopsided buns and wacky ways of Mrs. Lovett, having reprised the role 4 times in her acting career. Despite her familiarity with the role and the production, Ms. Prutsman found a fresh perspective working with Mr. Ketter. [Mr. Ketter] would ask me why I was doing something, and Id give him my reasoning, and my reasoning was of course influenced from previous directors. He gave me new things to consider, Ms. Prutsman said. Mrs. Lovett became a much more diverse character for me in the extremes of her person and the manipulation, rather than just being kooky. There was a different level to it. Bringing to life the rage-filled emotions that characterize Sweeney Todd can be equally complex, Mr. LaLonde recognized, though he seemed to navigate those waters with ease. Im rather dark inside so I can get there pretty quickly, he joked. The hard part is going to that level 4 shows in a row. Its important to learn to pace yourself. Having the chance to direct Sweeney Todd was a dream fulfilled for Mr. Ketter, who first saw the musical thriller as part of its debut on Broadway. Then

came the challenges. An integral part of the Sweeney set is a rotating, 8-foot piece that serves as the barbershop atop Mrs. Lovetts Pie Shop. The cast didnt have access to the prop or the Candlelight stage until 4 days before curtain call. While the size of the small dinner theater atmosphere was initially a daunting prospect, it ended up working in their favor. Its so much easier to scare 300 people than 3000, Mr. Ketter said. I mean the fear factor gets dissipated. With the closeness of this theater, the play works better. Mr. Ketter used the intimate atmosphere to his advantage, instructing his actors to use the theater floor as part of their stage to effectively draw in the audience. As Mick Bollinger gives his traditional welcome speech before the plays start, the actors are already beginning to congregate on the stage, seamlessly starting into the plays opening act. By bringing the actors into the audience and creating staging in unusual placesthat sort of spookiness and element of breaking the fourth wall is amplified, Mr. Ketter said. Adding to the theatrical experience are
the creative touches complementing the production. Guests are invited to sip on Sweeney-inspired cocktails, garnished with a lychee eyeball, dine on meat pies (tri-tip only) and cap the night with desserts, some with a side of lady fingers that, when decorated, actually resemble their namesake. While keeping their cuisine creative and their guests theater experience oneof-a-kind, the Candlelight family plans to continue to diversify, dishing out the edgier productions along with the familial staples. For the team at the Candlelight, theater is not just something to enjoy, but something to think about. Musical theater is not only supposed to entertain, but educate and open your mind to new things, Mr. Ketter said. [Sweeney Todd] is the kind of theater piece that continues with you on the car ride home. Take a walk down Fleet Street at the Candlelight Pavilion, 455 W. Foothill Blvd., Thursdays through Sundays through October 13. For tickets, visit www.candlelightpavilion.com.

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 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

If you cannot pay the filing fee, ask the court clerk for a fee waiver form. If you do not file your response on time, you may lose the case by default, and your wages, money, and property may be taken without further warning from the court. There are other legal requirements. You may want to call an attorney right away. If you do not know an attorney, you may want to call an attorney referral service. If you cannot afford an attorney, you may be eligible for free legal services from a nonprofit legal services program. You can locate these nonprofit groups at the California Legal Services Web site (www.lawhelpcalifornia.org), the California Courts Online Self-Help Center (www.courtinfo.ca.gov/selfhelp), or by contacting your local court or county bar association. NOTE: The court has a statutory lien for waived fees and costs on any settlement or arbitration award of $10,000 or more in a civil case. The court's lien must be paid before the court will dismiss the case. AVISO! Lo han demandado. Si no responde dentro de 30 das, la corte puede decidir en su contra sin escuchar su versin.

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, this information can be obtained from one of the following three companies: LPS Agency Sales and Posting at (714) 730-2727, or visit the Internet Web site www.lpsasap.com (Registration required to search for sale information) or Priority Posting and Publishing at (714) 573-1965 or visit the Internet Web site www.priorityposting.com (Click on the link for "Advanced Search" to search for sale information), or auction.com at 1- 800-280-2832 or visit the Internet Web site www.auction.com, using the Trustee Sale No. shown above.

ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE. For Sales Information: www.lpsasap.com or 1-714-730-2727 www.priorityposting.com or 1-714-573-1965 www.auction.com or 1-800-280-2832 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, this information can be obtained from one of the following three companies: LPS Agency Sales & Posting at (714) 730-2727, or visit the Internet Web site www.lpsasap.com (Registration required to search for sale information) or Priority Posting & Publishing at (714) 573-1965 or visit the Internet Web site www.priorityposting.com (Click on the link for Advanced Search to search for sale information), or auction.com at 1-800-280-2832 or visit the Internet Web site www.auction.com, using the Trustee Sale No. shown above. 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.

SAN ANTONIO HEIGHTS LEASE
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!
