The recent long string of warm winter days have produced some spectacular sunsets over Claremont, including this one seen behind the last fall leaves on a wisteria vine. The current forecast is for more of the same over the next few days with highs in the high-70s to low-80s and lows in the 40s with no precipitation.

Franklin McCain
Dear Editor: I ask the Claremont community to remember Brother Franklin McCain on the occasion of his passing on January 9. Franklin was one of the four young black students who participated in the Greensboro, North Carolina sit-ins in 1960. This act of civil disobedience and conscience was one of the seminal events of the Civil Rights Movement and the courage and dignity that Brother McCain and his fellow students showed that day should be commemorated forever. I am reminded that we all stand on the shoulders of giants: Rosa Parks, Dr. Martin Luther King, Medgar Evers, Fred Hampton, Emmett Till and Franklin McCain. We are in your debt as a society, Franklin. I see the horrifying racism that pervades parts of our country (and politics) today, and I hope we can all use Mr. McCain and others as examples of how to conduct ourselves in a way that promotes freedom, equality and dignity for all people. Thank you, Brother McCain. You will not be forgotten.

New year, new improvements to outdated city facilities
he city of Claremont is requesting state help as it seeks to make improvements at local parks.
With the Claremont City Councils unanimous approval, city administrators move forward in applying for $260,000 from the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) in order to give a much-needed makeover to Wheeler Park. Upgrades at the local park, a community mainstay since 1957, include a playground upCITY date, inclusion of an exercise area, an added walking path and new BBQ picCOUNCIL nic facilities. In addition to those improvements, the council unanimously voted to include lighting improvements at Wheeler Park as a top priority. While Kathleen Trepa, director of community and human services, did note that a consultant is currently surveying lighting needs at all of the citys parks, Councilmember Sam Pedroza requested city officials not hold off on a the consultants findings in order to address lighting and safety concerns at the south Claremont park. We know lighting is already a concern for this park, Mr. Pedroza said. Although these amenities that we are talking about are fantastic, they are things the park does need, I think if we were to prioritize, lighting would be on the top of the list. Several Wheeler Park residents present at Tuesdays meeting were in agreement. Once it hits dark, 7:30 or 8 oclock, I wont walk there even with my dog, said Nicole Wirick, a homeowner who resides down the street from the park. In addition to her request for security lighting, Ms. Wirick, a mother of three children who often play at Wheeler Park, added her support of the citys request for new playground equipment. She hopes officials will consider rubber padding in placement of the sand that currently makes up the playground area. Ive noticed a lot of debris, glass, cigarettesthings that are not good for children in the sand, she said. I think the rubberized surface will help prevent some of that. City officials expect the HCD award announcement by June, at which time the council will take a second look at how to prioritize the use of grant funding at Wheeler Park. In the meantime, residents are invited to add their input. A survey regarding the parks improvements may be accessed at www.surveymonkey.com/s/ RY5BL2W. Claremont police get new wheels The Claremont Police Department is getting an upgrade, if not at their home base at least on the road. With the councils approval, officers will be getting 12 new police vehicles upfitted with new equipment and new sirens worth an estimated $590,788, though final quotes for the equipment are still being obtained. Funds will be taken from the Motor Fleet Replacement Reserve, currently at $954,511. Four Chevrolet Tahoes and four Chevrolet Caprices will be purchased from Wondries Fleet Group of Alhambra. The replacement was deemed necessary by the city of Claremonts vehicle replacement schedule, which requires police vehicles to be replaced every four years, ensuring the city is utilizing mechanically sound operating vehicles for the police departments front-line emergency vehicles. While the cars may be relatively new, Chief of Police Paul Cooper notes that in some cases the equipment used inside the vehicles has been around for as many as 20 years. This is the first time...since 1995 that staff has had to look at interior and exterior equipment, Mr. Cooper recognized. I think weve gotten our moneys worth. Mr. Cooper will return to city council in February

Residents at arms over Mills Avenue affordable housing site determination
eve been here before. Tempers are once again flying among north Claremont residents over the mere mention of a low-income housing project above Foothill Boulevard.
At its Tuesday, January 7 meeting, the planning commission recommended sending Claremonts updated Housing Element to the city council for approval. The update identifies a 5.9-acre parcel of land, opposite Chapparal Elementary School on Mills Avenue, as a potential location for future low-income housing. The site, which is currently occupied by Golden State Water Company, is zoned residential. However, Golden State secured a conditional use permit for water facilities, including a well and reservoir. Claremonts Director of Community Development Brian Desatnik addressed the issue in correspondence with Ben Lewis, Foothill district manager for Golden State. If at some point in the future, Golden State Water Company were to build a new reservoir or well on the site, then the city would have to replace this site with another site in the Housing Element in order to remain in full compliance with state Housing Element law, Mr. Desatnik wrote in a January 6 email to Mr. Lewis. Golden State Water, in a response email from Mr. Lewis, said it is studying the need to replace the existing reservoir on Mills and indicated it did not support the change to the housing update. The city isnt required to get approval from Golden State, but did notify GSW executives as a courtesy, according to Mr. Desatnik. The city further discussed the matter with Mr. Lewis last week. I assured Golden State that the inclusion of the property would not preclude them from developing at the site, Mr. Desatnik explained. To meet the February 15, 2014 deadline for adoption of the 2014-2021 Housing Element update as required by state law, the city must provide potential low-income development sites. As part of the process, the
COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff This Mills Avenue property, across from Chaparral Elementary, is among one of three properties included in the citys 2013-2021 Housing Element Update as a potential site for low-income housing.
planning commission was tasked with approving the inclusion of the Mills Avenue property as a potential low-income site, not with approving the building of low-income housing. The Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) projects housing needs for the area and, based on their assessment, requires cities to provide options for lowand very-low income housing. The city of Claremont is required by law through the RHNA to demonstrate that it has adequate space to accommodate low-income housing, despite there being no plans or intention to build. The city is not actually required to provide the units but, ata minimum, must show it has space within city limits to do so. In addition to Mills Avenue, city staff designated 451 and 469 W. Arrow Highway as potential properties for low-income housing. As stated in the citys notice of public hearing for the January 7 planning commission meeting, Currently, no housing projects are proposed on these sites. The planning commission recommended approval of the Housing Element update, which will go before city council at its next meeting, Tuesday, January 28.

CITY NEWS
Golden State takes action for release of citys bid documents
nhappy with the city of Claremonts refusal to provide the details of its water acquisition feasibility study, Golden State Water Company is taking matters to court.
The water company filed a Writ of Mandate with the Los Angeles Superior Court on December 20 to require the city of Claremont to release documents surrounding the financial impact of a water system takeover. The water company claims the city has not complied with the California Public Records Act, which establishes that all public records in the state of California be open and available to anyone. In the court documents, Golden State executives allege the city has not been compliant or transparent as claimed. Claremont waived the right to refuse full disclosure by publicly revealing the specific numerical conclusions from its financial feasibility report as well as the central conclusions from documents reflecting its investigation into the costs and operational feasibility of the takeover proposal, the writ states. Golden State responded with legal action nearly two
months after a city-sponsored town hall meeting, where Claremont officials informed the public of the proposed financial impacts should the city continue its pursuit to take over its water system from Golden State. After an examination of overhead costs, among other factors, the city-obtained appraiser estimated the value of Claremonts water system at around $54 million. This figure was determined based on Golden State Waters anticipated cash flow and fair market value, according to Ken MacVey, an attorney with Best Best & Krieger. He did note the appraisal was given without a proper examination of the water systems underground infrastructure. The appraiser also conservatively estimated the city could afford up to $80 million with little to no impact on existing water rates and without resorting to a water bond or parcel tax. If the water system purchase were to cost $100 or $120 million, city experts estimate rates would still be lower than existing Golden State Water rates in 9 or 17 years, respectively. Golden State executives claim that the city revealed conclusions that were taken directly from its analysis, but has refused to produce a single page of the actual
analysis or the underlying documents related to the analysis. Denise Kruger, Golden State Waters senior vice president of regulated utilities, remains skeptical. Golden State Water believes that residents who may be asked to pay higher property taxes for decades should be able to review the details. Were acting to ensure that the city operates in the transparent manner residents expect. Our petition simply requests this information so that everyone can see it, Ms. Kruger said. Golden State Water has released a comprehensive study by Dr. Rodney T. Smith, including all the background information and data, that concludes residents will pay dramatically higher water rates indefinitely if the city attempts an eminent domain takeover. Despite attempts to obtain details on the information and bar graphs presented at the citys town hall meeting, the city has remained mum. After a closed session of the city council on Tuesday, at which time council members discussed litigation with the water company, City Manager Tony Ramos referred Claremont residents to the city website for more information on the water acquisition. An environmental impact report is currently underway, and will be

Thursday, January 9 Connie & Dicks employees received an unexpected visitor on Thursday morning. Jamur Johnson, a 34-year-old Pomona resident, took up residence in the employee break room, problem being he was not an employee. Mr. Johnson was carted away by police, arrested for an outstanding warrant for fare evasion. Friday, January 10 Two south Claremont homes were targeted in afternoon burglaries on Friday. Thieves entered a home in the 300 block of Villanova Drive through a rear dog door, according to Lieutenant Mike Ciszek. Numerous drawers had been left opened, but it did not appear anything was taken. A homeowner in the 400 block of Georgia Court was not as lucky. Crooks entered the home off Vista Drive by breaking a glass pane on a rear door. An estimated $11,780 in stolen jewelry was taken. There are no suspects. Saturday, January 11 Greg Valencia, a 22-year-old resident of Rancho Cucamonga, appeared to be in such a rush on Saturday that he forgot what side of the road to drive on. Police received an estimated 29 calls about Mr. Valencias erratic driving, which included driving on the wrong side of the road, failing to stop at red lights, refusing to yield for pedestrians and driving 70 miles per hour in 45 miles per hour zones. Police were finally able to slow him down near Foothill and Indian Hill. Mr. Valencia, on parole for assault with a deadly weapon, was arrested for reckless driving, driving on the wrong side of the road and driving with a suspended license. **** Police received calls regarding an un-

usual traffic hazard on Saturday. Around 9:30 a.m. a wayward hot air balloon made an emergency landing in the Claremont High School parking lot, mere feet away from a light pole, according to police. The balloon had taken off from Cable Airport as part of the annual air show. The operator planned to land at The Claremont Colleges, but as he explained to officers, I go wherever the wind takes me. Unfortunately for him, it wasnt a valid enough excuse for an aircraft accident investigator, who reported the illegal parking job to the Federal Aviation Administration. The massive multi-colored balloon was carted off without further incident. **** The intersection of Bonita Avenue and Cambridge Avenue was temporarily closed on Saturday evening as police rushed to the aid of a skateboarder hit by a car. The pedestrian was traveling east on Bonita when a car turning left on Cambridge struck him in the middle of the intersection. The pedestrian was flown to USC Medical Center with significant head injuries, according to Lt. Ciszek. His condition is unknown. Wednesday, January 15 The music wasnt the only thing causing excitement at Hip Kitty Jazz and Fondue early Wednesday morning. Ganesh Mahalingam, a 41-year-old Monrovia resident, added further frenzy when he brandished his pocketknife to patrons and made racist statements, according to the police report. Police responded to the Packing House establishment and put an end to Mr. Mahalingams antics, arresting him for public intoxication.

EDUCATION
State budget shift funnels more money to education
overnor Jerry Brown has announced a major shift in budgeting for the 2014-15 year with an increase of $6.3 billion in funding for K14 education over the 2013 Budget Act level. This increase comes after nearly five years of school districts taking necessary steps to ensure major programs were not cut from schools.
This reinvestment provides the opportunity to correct historical inequities in school district funding with continued implementation of the Local Control Funding Formula, which directs additional resources to students who need the most support, the gov.ca.gov website reads. The changes include eliminating all past deferments to the district so schools no longer need to take out small loans to ensure they stay on track. It has been a little over seven years since the Claremont Unified School District has seen the Proposition 98 funding they need to maintain their budget. Almost
every amount they received had a small portion deferred to a later time. In exchange, what they did is they took restrictions and parameters off of categorical funds. Those are little buckets of money that have very specific parameters on how they are spent, said Lisa Shoemaker, CUSDs assistant superintendent of business services. So they gave us less money, but more freedom.
The biggest change focuses on per pupil funding for the district. California is 49th in per pupil spending, according to the California Teachers Association. With the budget increase, California school districts will now be seeing a projected increase of more than $2,188 per student in 2014-15 over the 2011-12 levels.
According to Ms. Shoemaker, the board is optimistic and is looking to add programs and positions back to the district.
CUSD did not suffer through declining enrollment on top of funding cuts like many other California schools, the superintendent recognized. Except for a one percent increase last year, she continued, the district has not implemented any pay raises since the recession began. The state funding increase has the board looking to bring positions like proctors back to the district and adding safety related positions, Ms. Shoemaker explained. Once the funding was reduced, CUSD increased class sizes, offered early retirement to bring in new teachers and cut school transportation for class trips or sporting events, according to Ms. Shoemaker. Earlier this year, after moving some funds around, transportation was brought back to the Claremont schools. The board hasnt made any decisions, but they will be looking at things like employee benefits, facilities and technology needs, Ms. Shoemaker said. The board will be meeting about the Local Control Accountability Plan on January 21. The next scheduled school board meeting is set for January 23 at 7 p.m. in the Richard S. Kirkendall Education Center boardroom. Christina Collins Burton
CHS students focus on homeless with unique clothing drive
hree students from Claremont High School are leading a Teens for Jeans campaign as part of the Fairplex Junior Fair Board team. Seniors Kate DesCombes and Dakota Zuccioni along with Junior Sasha Hough represent CHS as part of this clothing drive.
The number one item requested at homeless shelters is a pair of jeans. With one in 3 homeless people in the United States being under the age of 18, the Teens for Jeans campaign encourages young people to donate their good denim to help teens and children in need. I hope people are willing to donate when they see the worth of this donation and the impact it could make in someones life, Ms. DesCombes said. My personal goal is not so much a number to bring in, its more that people respond well to this cause. The organizers have been working hard since the Junior Boards team was created earlier this month. The three CHS students are determined to exceed expectations and reach out to the community as well. The original program started with only 1,000 students participating. Now the Teens for Jeans collections cover half of all high schools in the United States. In 2011, more than 12,000 schools in the US, Puerto Rico and Canada participated and helped
PUBLIC RECORDS ACT/ continues from the previous page
gather a million pairs of jeans in four weeks. To date the program has provided almost 3.3 million pairs of jeans to over 1,000 shelters in the US. The jeans collected in 2013 clothed almost half of the children and teens that are experiencing homelessness, according to DoSomething.org. CHS is no stranger to collection drives. Every year different clubs on campus host can and clothing drives to benefit those in need. The Associated Student Bodys Pennies for Patients collected about $3,000 dollars in change in just two weeks. To encourage student participation, a contest will be held for the clubs on campus to see who can collect the most pairs of jeans from their members. The winners will receive $50 from ASBs charity account. When you get that data thrown at you its a little bit overwhelming. But it is inspirational, Jack Harper, activities director at Claremont High School said. While most of the schools annual events are planned at least a month in advance, this drive is more spontaneous since Ms. DesCombes came to ASB January 10 with the proposal. For the past week Mr. Harper has been helping ASB prepare for when they begin collecting pairs of jeans. Knowing that the jeans are going to kids in our area is huge. So many people take jeans for granted, a lot of us have more than one pair of jeans in or closets and drawers and these kids are asking for just one
pair, Manager of Education at Career and Technical Education Center Margie Shamblin said. When the Junior Board heard about the number of teens who were homeless the number struck a chord and they decided to take action. The team set the goal of 300 pairs to collect from the high schools, but Ms. Shamblin suspects they may have already surpassed that number. Once the deadline has passed, the jeans will be taken to the Montclair Plaza Aeropostale location. The store will give the jeans to shelters in the area such as: Pomona First Baptist, I Care shelter home and Union Rescue Mission. All pairs of jeans will be accepted as long as they are in good condition with no rips or tears. There is a demand for larger sizes, but all sizes for any age group will be accepted as a donation. The program cannot accept jean skirts or shorts. Collection began on Thursday, January 16 and will end Friday, January 31. There are two drop-off locations available. Students are encouraged to drop-off their jeans at Claremont High School to a box located outside the ASB office. Community members should look for a drop-off area at the Hughes Community Center at 1700 Danbury Rd.
Christina Collins Burton storribio@claremont-courier.com
available for public comment at the end of January, Mr. Ramos also noted. hile Golden State believes the citys refusal to provide documents is in violation of the Public Records Act, Claremont officials hold that the act actually exempts the city from disclosing information on real estate appraisals or estimates relating to an acquisition until the real estate is obtained. The city maintains that stance, asserting they have the right to refuse disclosure pursuant to claimed attorneyclient and work product privileges as well as exemptions in the California
Public Records Act, according to the writ. While the city has denied requests for the most recent feasibility study, the COURIER obtained a similar report conducted by the firm of RW Beck under former city Manager Glenn Southard in 2003. At the time of that study, the firm appraised the water system at $40 to $45 million, a rise from a 1988 appraisal conducted by the city that had projected the cost then at $12 million. After several years of negotiations and process, the council halted its move toward attainment in 2005. Golden State executives believe the true value of the system is much higher.
In a study conducted for the water company by local water consultant Rodney Smith, he estmates a $54 million water system purchase alone would result in a water bill increase of $469 a year for Claremont residents. Mr. Smith based his estimate on capital expenditures, or the cost of maintaining the companys assets, income tax, operating expenses and the water itself. Golden State and the city of Claremont remain at odds over rising water rates. After previous attempts to purchase the citys water system, Claremont officials began the move once more after the water company filed with the California Public Utilities Commission
(CPUC) for a 24 percent rate increase in its Region III service area for 2013, with smaller increases in 2014 and 2015. The commission granted a 16 percent increase for Claremont residents and other Region III ratepayers last April. The water company and city officials will meet for a trial setting conference on April 24, according to court documents. City Attorney Sonia Carvalho declined comment as of press time, but noted the city is preparing a response to Golden States allegations. The COURIER will continue to provide updates as information becomes available.
In between what was and will be, over there and farther
By John Pixley
ts a common new year mistake. Everyone does it. In the first few days of a new year, who hasnt accidentally put down the previous year when writing the date on a check or a letter? Who didnt write 2013 instead of 2014 at least once this time around?
I found it hard a couple weeks ago to remember that it is 2014. Except that, when I was writing the first checks of the year, I didnt want to write 2013. For a few seconds there, I wanted to write 2003. I dont know exactly what this means. Am I in a time warp, stuck in 2003, if not 1973 or earlier as some accuse me of being? Was I in a stupor, after having too much of the holidays? Or perhaps I dont like being 53 and wish I was 43. One thing is clear, though: time is passing and the years are going by more and more quickly. Besides, who writes letters these days? With everyone and their auntie e-mailing, texting, Facebooking, instant messaging and whatever else they are doing, its certainly not 2003. * * * Laemmle operates seven theaters with 34 screens in Beverly Hills, Claremont, Encino, North Hollywood, Pasadena, Santa Monica and West LA. There it was, right there on the front page of the business section in the Los Angeles Times just a few days into the new year. Theres no doubt that it isnt 2003 in Claremont. The article was about the 75th anniversary of the family-owned, Los Angeles-area cinema chain and its plans for the future. It was also, at least as I saw it, an acknowledgment for all to see that Claremont has definitely moved up in the world. Something has changedthats for surewhen Claremont is mentioned in the same sentence, in the same breath, as Pasadena, Santa Monica and Beverly Hills. There may be some in Claremont who are alarmed about this. They are no doubt the same folks who were upset when Starbucks set up shop in the Village and who may still be unhappy that theres a Starbucks
observer
in the Village. But Claremont being mentioned along with Pasadena, Santa Monica and Beverly Hills doesnt mean that Claremont is the same as Pasadena, Santa Monica and Beverly Hills. Claremont is still uniquely, funkily, academically, artistically, musically, botanically, quietly, elegantly Claremontjust all the more so, and all the more of a place to go to, with a Laemmle theater. I think my dad, who spent a good part of his life in Claremont before retiring to the Bay Area up north, got it right. When I visited him and my mom over the holidays, he marveled that, If we still lived in Claremont, we could walk across the street to Trader Joes and not have to drive to Pasadena to see a decent film. * * * Claremont may be changingnot only is there the Claremont 5 Cinema, but check out all the new housing going upand even going big-time, but, even with all the museums and galleries, I dont know if Id be able to see exhibits featuring works by filmmaker David Lynch (Blue Velvet, Eraserhead, Mulholland Drive, the Twin Peaks television series) with works about Sid Vicious of the Sex Pistols. At least not for a while. Which is why its nice to be able to get to Los Angeles easily, as I did on the first Saturday of the new year when I went to two galleries to see the nowclosed shows. I liked seeing Lynchs drawings and paintings, although I found them every bit as weird and irritating as his films and liked his photographs better (and who knew he has been exhibited in Paris?). I enjoyed the Sid Vicious show more, with its photographs and lithographs of the iconic English punk rocker, known for his nihilistic lifestyle, and a fascinating and fun recreation of a hotel room that he thrashed. * * *
David Hockney may or may not have appreciated the David Lynch and Sid Vicious shows, but I suspect he would appreciate living in a town like Claremont and being able to go to Los Angeles for an afternoon to see them. I suspect this about the well-known British artist, known for his vibrant portraits, landscapes and stilllifes in watercolor and oil as well as intriguing collages in various media, after seeing a major exhibit of his workindeed, it was called David Hockney: A Bigger Exhibitat the DeYoung museum in San Francisco while on my recent trip north. It is obvious that he enjoys the best of two worlds. There were some portraits in the DeYoung show, but most of the works depicted the English countryside. Many were made up of two or more panels, with the largest (including one of Yosemite, interestingly enough) consisting of something like 20, and some made up of videos. There were also paintings he did on an iPad. Clearly, Hockney likes trying new things, even as he gets older. One room featured four large pieces, each made up of nine videos, showing the same stretch of a small, quiet English country road during the different seasons. Absolutely mesmerizing! I could have sat there for hours and remarked that I want to have one (the Winter one) in my house. But Hockney spends a good deal of time in Los Angeles, and I kept thinking of a large exhibit of his work that I saw years ago at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. That exhibit featured lots of his LA works. There were portraits of Beverly Hills surgeons and Hollywood executives and paintings and photo collages of Mulholland Drive. There were also what I think of Hockneys signature paintings of shimmering backyard swimming pools. Funny that a British artist who roams the country roads would be known for his attraction to the glitz and glamour of Hollywood and Beverly Hills. Then again, is it any more odd than my enjoying the quiet, small-town life in Claremont, even as I cheer on the pick-up of activity and offerings here and escape to the big city lights of LA from time to time, all the while sometimes wishing it was still 2003, let alone 2013?

Facts and clarifications
Dear Editor: Reading the letters from Messrs. Benfield and Stevenson [COURIER, January 10, 2014] reminds me yet again of the tragic divide within this country. A divide between those of us who cherish freedom, liberty and private property rights (and comprehend what those mean), want to take responsibility for ourselves and make our own decisions, and those who would rather have Washington, Sacramento and a slew of bureaucrats dictating their lives and making their decisions for them. As illustrated by so many assertions in the two letters, it is evident that the precepts of the political left are assuming the character of religious dogma; accepted as a matter of faith, not fact. And, clearly, a top-down, iron-fisted, bureaucratic, socialized healthcare system is one of their dogmas. The natural result of which will be mediocre health care for all. Im reminded here of an expression I heard recently: Progressive Liberalism: Bringing you new ideas so wonderful they have to include mandatory participation. And need I point out it was the namesake of Obamacare, Obama himself, who lied through his considerable teeth time after time that, If you like your current health care plan, you can keep it, period. Or how about, Let me repeat this, nothing in our plan requires you to change what you have. Silly us, for thinking that Obama might actually tell the truth, for once. Among the miscellaneous ramblings in the two letters, a few nuggets deserve comment. From Mr. Benfield: ...why did Mr Lyon pay for a health insurance plan that cant even meet government standards[?]
READERS COMMENTS
Every clear-thinking American realizes that such a thing could only be said by a person who has no comprehension of this countrys founding. Every single one of our founding fathers would be horrified to see what some Americans are accepting as normal these days. In short, the government has no constitutional, or moral, right to dictate what type of health insurance Ill have, or if Ill have any at all. And then, Is Mr. Lyon afraid of competition? Honestly, sometimes I wonder. Even an elementary perusal of my earlier suggestions indicates that they would increase health care competition far above what existed before Obamacare; thereby increasing choice, and lowering costs. From Mr. Stevenson: [Obamacare] was created by Republicans. So lacking in confidence is he that he blames the Republicans for creating Obamacare, despite the fact that not one single Republican voted to pass it, and even some Democrats voted against it. Curious. Is that why Nancy Pelosi said, We have to pass the bill to find out whats in it. Obviously, she didnt think it could stand up to public scrutiny, either. And, as we all know, Congressional Democrats are always eager to push Republican legislative packages (he says facetiously).
And then, I think Mr. Lyon has forgotten why the American people wanted to reform healthcare... Yes, reform it, as in actually fix it; not destroy it. Fix it by getting rid of government meddling, and by letting a free and open marketplace determine what coverages are offered and at what prices. Which would be coverages that people actually want and can actually afford. Even before Obamacare was passed an overwhelming majority of Americans did not want it, and said so, to the tune of 57 percent, or so. Yet, an arrogant, religious-dogma-driven, Democrat-controlled congress passed it anyway. And the number of us not wanting it has risen ever since, as its horrors continue to manifest themselves. And this is just the beginning.

City manager receives salary increase The council unanimously approved a 2.4 percent pay increase for one of the citys top-earning officials. City Manager Tony Ramos will receive an annual pay increase of $4,195, raising his salary from $203,985 to $208,900 effective immediately. In addition to the raise, the city manager will receive a one-time merit award of $10,992.25, according to the agreement. All employees are eligible for annual
merit increases after their yearly performance review. The council is tasked with approving the city managers contract and salary. This is the first salary raise for Mr. Ramos and the second merit increase since he was promoted to city manager in November 2011. Last January he was awarded a merit bonus of $10,048.50 and a payout of 2 weeks paid vacation at $7,729.66 for a total of $17,778.16 in addition to his regular salary. Residents and councilmembers commended Mr. Ramos work in the city of Claremont, hallmarks of which have included the relinquishment of Foothill Boulevard, the renovation of Peppertree Square and the parking lot expansion at the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park. A few years ago we had a citizens
committee looking at our city budget years out and, at that point in time, we were looking at a $3 million deficit, Councilmember Corey Calaycay recognized. Without any major tax or fee increases and with just some creative out -of-the-box thinking, and still maintaining the morale of city hall by being a good manager to his employees, we have pulled through the last few years with over $1 million surplus. He has agreed to a lot of compromises, Mr. Calaycay continued, noting Mr. Ramos pays his full Public Employees Retirement System contribution upfront. I have not voted for a pay raise for a city manager before, but I will be voting for this one.
High flyers wow kids of all ages at Cable Air Show
t was easy to understand why Danbury Elementary School students were thrilled with the roar of plane engines last Friday at Cable Airport. As part of the weekend-long air show, stunt pilots kept students captivated as they whizzed by during a practice for the big show.
The organizers of the Cable Air Show continue to reach out to special needs students and seniors from surrounding communities to see the pilots test the air for the weekend. This Special Program for Special People has been a tradition for the past nine years. The airbox has to be approved by flight regulation standards so they do this practice. Well if they are up there doing it then why not share that with the community? Pat Yarborough, a longtime volunteer at Cable airport said. Ms. Yarborough, Howard Bunte and Virginia Harmer coordinated the day so guests could watch the practices and learn a little about the planes. Invitations went out to children from the Special Education Programs at Danbury Elementary School and El Roble Intermediate School, children of Ability First, students from Uplands Cabrillo Elementary School and Seniors from Claremont Manor and Pilgrim Place. A lot of these students would never have the chance to be on a tarmac, Principal of Danbury Elementary Steve Hamilton said. Between performances, the students were taken over to see the planes up close. They were able to touch a propeller if they wanted and see the instruments that helped make the acrobatic tricks possible. They need that tangible object to put their hands on to really connect. You can read a book, but being able to stand next to the plane you just read

about helps, Mr. Hamilton said. Guests applauded and talked excitedly about the planes as they flew through the air. One performance, the flight of a bright yellow Antonov AN-2, left many in awe as it lumbered through the skies above. The 50-year-old flyer only went about 40 miles per hour on take off and seemed to float up into the sky rather than fly. It circled the area a few times and walked by pulling its nose back and gliding past the crowd as guests ap-
plauded and pointed at the plane. But when Frank Donnelly took to the sky in his 1946 Taylorcraft, the real screaming began. Barrel rolls, smoke trails, spins, stalls and loops made onlookers squeal with excitement. I like the one that goes around and
around and I liked the smoke, 10-yearold spectator Isaac Giron said. Isaac was sitting in the front row and excitedly pointed at each plane that took off. One class sat munching on In-n-Out burgers as they watched the air acrobatCABLE AIR SHOW/next page

ics. Many students looked for letters in Mr. Donnellys smoke trails exclaiming, look there is a cursive e! as he did his tricks in the sky. The engine cut out, that was a stall but he knew what to do third through sixth grade teacher at Danbury School, Debbie McCurdy said. That would scare me to death. Ms. McCurdy sat with her class and explained how the planes tricks were perfectly safe since Mr. Donnelly was a professional. Every year she presents a small lesson on aerodynamics for her class before they visit the Cable Air Show. They work so hard. I think they deserve rewards and treats. We like to make an event out of everything, Ms. McCurdy said. The students whispered to one another and laughed loudly as the show continued. Besides being able to watch a private show, they were all able to visit with one another in the sunny, warm weather. Its always good to have something to look forward to, we all need that, Ms. McCurdy said. The Cable Air Show is an annual

Dan Rhoades
Dan Rhoades, emeritus faculty at Claremont School of Theology, died peacefully December 19 with family by his side at a San Dimas facility. He was 79. Mr. Rhoades spent his formative years in South Bend, Indiana. He excelled as a student and athlete. He was also gifted in assisting his father with his work as a car mechanic. After graduating near the top of his class at Riley High School, Mr. Rhoades worked his way through Indiana Central College reading to a wealthy donor who was visually impaired and by painting houses. He was the first of his family to attend college. By the time Mr. Rhoades had finished his undergraduate degree, he set his sights on Yale University. He was able to attend Yale Divinity School with help from a Dan Forth Foundation Fellowship, being one of a hundred recipients in the country. He earned a Ph.D. in Christian ethics from Yale. He was something of a legend at Yale, Joseph Hough, friend and colleague at Claremont School of Theology, said. Mr. Hough attended Yale after Mr. Rhoades. In 1953, Mr. Rhoades married his childhood sweetheart, Peggy. The couple

Americans and the anti-Vietnam War protests, a topic he was so passionate about that during one anti-Vietnam War protest, Mr. Rhoades served jail time. Together, Mr. Rhoades and his colleague Mr. Hough spearheaded an effort to facilitate the integration of the races. Project Understanding was created to enhance inter-racial interaction and understanding as well as embed social justice concerns and experiences in the preparation of future ministers. The program organized exchanges between largely white suburban churches and largely black inner-city churches. He was a man who cared about justice and fairness, Mrs. Rhoades said. For his work, Mr. Rhoades won a civil rights award in the late 1990s from one of the biggest African-American Methodist Episcopal churches in Los Angeles. He retired in 1999 after teaching for 36 years. Accompanying his passion for social justice was his passion for his family who remember him as an active husband and father. He made sure to be emotionally and physically engaged in the lives of his children. His daughter describes him as the neighborhood father. He played football and basketball with local children, took them swimming and bought them sodas and ice cream at the local market. In his off time, he liked to work with his hands. Mr. Rhoades was a skilled automechanic who kept up his own cars, those of his children and, occasionally, his colleagues. He was handy around the house and, later in life, took up sculpting. He was also an inveterate Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Lakers fan. His painting skills, which paid for his undergraduate years, resurfaced when he painted his home in Pomona with his sons. Both sons remember their father ladder hopping to save time. He would carefully manipulate the ladder at dangerous heights to continue painting without having to climb down and back up each time they completed a section. His sons still echo his favorite phrase to this day, one that he had told them repeatedly: Youre a good man, Charlie Brown. Two weeks after Mr. Rhoades death, Mrs. Rhoades died. She was 79. Out of respect for Mr. Rhoades lack of patience with pomposity, the family celebrated his life at a simple graveside ceremony attended by those who loved him. Mr. and Mrs. Rhoades were buried side by side at Oak Park Cemetery in Claremont. Mr. Rhoades is survived by his three children; grandchildren, Elizabeth, Olivia and Corey; and by his younger brother, Jack.
had dated since they were 13 years old. They had three children, oldest son, Gary; daughter, Stephanie; and youngest son, Brady. The family settled in Pomona. After teaching posts in Georgia and Colorado, Mr. Rhoades took a job as an assistant professor of Christian ethics at Claremont School of Theology in 1968. During his early career at Claremont School of Theology, he was an activist in the church. He was not so much interested, in his words, writing books that 12 people would read, but, rather, effecting the change in the church and society on important issues. These included the advancement of civil rights for African-

VIP admission is $50 per person, which includes a keepsake glass, preferred parking and a meet the brewer special event. CEF provides financial support to the Claremont Unified School District throughout the year to enhance educational opportunities for students. Last year, CEF gifted more than $210,000 to CUSD with all funds raised through a community-wide effort
with partners like Dale Bros. CEF is very excited by the opportunity to partner with Dale Bros Brewery, CEF Board President Richard Chute said. The Dale brothers, Curt and Andy, and their staff are committed to the community and often host fundraisers supporting local nonprofits at the brewery. Its just how they do business. They do well by doing good and we are truly fortunate to work with them on their biggest event of the year. In addition to raising much-needed funds for CEF, the event will also feature a Brew Crew Tipping Competition to raise donations for other local nonprofits. Claremonters and other locals will be pouring beer for the craft breweries to garner tips for their favorite local charity. The pourer with the largest dollar amount of tips will get bragging rights on stage at the end of the afternoon. All tips raised from the event will be donated to CEF or to the chosen charities. To volunteer for the Brew Crew or to purchase festival tickets, visit the event website at www.brewsandbrosfest.com.

CHS boys soccer overpowers Ayala for first league win
n its first Sierra League match, the Claremont High School boys soccer team topped the Ayala Bulldogs, 2-0, on the road on Wednesday to move to 8-3-2 on the season. The win gave the Wolfpack their sixth win in seven games and their third road victory of the season, making them a perfect 3-0-1 on the road this year. Behind a stingy defense and a selective offensive approach, Claremont took a 1-0 lead into the half and looked to be in control with its tempo and ball handling. Ayala had several chances to even the score in the second half, with its best coming in the 64th minute when they hooked a shot wide left from 10 feet out. Claremont missed an opportunity to capitalize on its lead in the 68th minute when it missed netting its own rebound, but it answered back in the 74th minute with a beautiful goal to make it 2-0. The game proved to be a highly physical match between two teams looking for the win, but Ayala (2-8-3) was outmatched for nearly 90 minutes. It was Claremonts first game in 15 days and the break proved to be beneficial, as the Wolfpack were fresh and playing aggressively for the duration of the match. CHS will take on South Hills tomorrow at 5:30 p.m. in West Covina in its second Sierra League match. Boys basketball wins 10th straight Claremont moved its winning streak to 10 games after edging out Ayala, 59-48, in its first Sierra League match of the season on Wednesday. The Pack trailed 30-27 at the break after being
outscored 17-14 in the second quarter. But a strong second half performance from senior Chris Edward helped Claremont hold on to an 11-point victory. Edward shot 41 percent from the field on 717 shooting and sunk 9-12 free throws. He added 12 rebounds, including seven defensive and five offensive, to give him the games lone double-double. Senior Baron Franklin added nine points and junior Noah Daniel added eight more to round out Claremonts top three scorers for the night. As a team, the Wolfpack tallied six steals and four blocks. The defense was at its best in the third quarter when they held the Bulldogs to just five points. Claremont will continue Sierra League play today at South Hills at 6:30 p.m. Girls basketball struggle with offense The Claremont girls basketball team (10-5, 0-1) saw its two-game win streak snapped yesterday after its 48-29 road loss to Ayala.

Celebrating a new start for a local senior program
he Claremont High School thespians are ready to talk with their production of The Locker Next 2 Mine, addressing the topic of suicide and mourning.
Playwright Jonathan Dorfs play gives the perspective of high school students when it comes to moving on after a death. Mr. Dorf has written over 50 plays that include pieces such as Thank You for Flushing My Head in the Toilet and other rarely used expressions and Harrys Hotter at Twilight. As far as heavy-hitting scripts, [the students] have done a couple things that deal with adult issues, Claremont High School Theater Director Krista Elhai said. It is really hard to find a script that deals with teen issues with a voice. Ms. Elhai and Mr. Dorf have known each other for about 10 years through the California State Thespians and have wanted to work together for a long time. After students suggested the script and were so adamant about doing the performance, Ms. Elhai reached out to her friend for the rights and began work on the project. In the play, Washington High School students have a Pluto problem. Something very important happened and now the adults want them to just forget about it. The story follows Alisa at a new school trying to reach her locker. She can barely see her locker door because it is squished in next to a huge shrine to Beth Turner, a student who died in an accident the year before. The M Squad continues to pressure the school into publicly mourning, including the newbie Alisa. However, while everyone talks about the accident that took Beth, the students also seems to whisper about another death that took place around the same time. Alisa is left on her own as she tries to find out what happened, while at the same time not alienating her classmates. She feels less alone when a former school reporter named Brady tells her of the suicide that happened on campus. Together they try and bring the second death to light so their peers can start to heal. Mr. Dorf originally came up with the play after visiting a school in the Mojave Desert that was producing another of his plays. During rehearsals strong feelings in the cast surfaced because of a suicide of a student. Around the same time another classmate died in an accident. Mr. Dorf noticed how commercialized the accidental death had become throughout the school with T-shirts and posters being made in the students honor, but no one discussed the actual suicide. It really said something about how people handle death, Mr. Dorf noted. The students were never really allowed to address the suicide, Mr. Dorf said. That was the nugget of the play I took as the starting point. A few months later a Long Island high school commissioned him for a play. The school gave no specifics, just requested

that the piece be dramatic, 90-minutes long and required a cast of about 30. Sadly, after the script was completed the school was unable to do the play because the material was too close to their own experiences. Since its creation, the piece has been performed at a high school in Alabama, part of South Africa and as a one-act around various campuses in the US. The performance is unique in the fact that visual representation is also used to tell the story. To build on the theme of comfort being out of reach, adults and emotionally closed off authority figures wear masks to represent how hard it is for students to open up about how they feel. Also, the set is minimal. The most noticeable object is a heavily decorated shrine that is covered in real pieces that the cast members brought from home. Each person thought of something their character would bring and either bought

or made something for Beths shrine. The CHS students have also constructed a set that uses angles to its advantage. Besides stairs to access a lifted platform, no surface on the stage is level. We played with the angles like crazy in tech, Ms. Elhai said. As the students discussed the piece in class and found reoccurring themes, the set slowly took shape to bring the words on the page into a physical representation.

Student directors Deja Cannon and Noelle Davis have been working closely with their peers to ensure that their first production hits home. he play is really relatable to high school and people our age. You get to hear how different people will cope with different kinds of deaths, Noelle said. There are some light moments, but a lot of heartfelt moments overall. The two directors both enjoyed the piece on their first reading. They saw an opportunity to open their classmates and parents eyes to how coping is different for teens while adults might assume mourning is too painful to be addressed. The audience should be prepared to come in, not in a dark mood, but with an open mind because different people have a different way they cope, Deja said. Everyone should be prepared for posttraumatic stress from some characters, while some are colder. The audience needs to understand how other people take things might not match how they take things. During rehearsals, students were reminded to really think about their lines and what they mean. It was important for
them to not just portray the character, but also understand what the character might be going through as they said that first line. Depending on if you are an adult or student, youll take away something different, Ms. Elhai said. Around students we need to discuss things, they need to talk about it and work through things, just like adults. Mr. Dorf is excited to see the CHS rendition of his work. This will be the second time he has ever seen the fulllength play performed since its premiere. With the CHS Theaters strong reputation, he is confident in the production. It is always fun to see my work come together and done well, Mr. Dorf said. The performance will be at the Don F. Fruechte Theater at 1601 N. Indian Hill Blvd. on the CHS campus. The play starts at 7:30 p.m. and runs on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, January 16, 17 and 18. Tickets are $9 presale and $10 at the door.

Through January 31: Fragile includes works in paper and encaustic by Karen Karlsson. Drawing inspiration from natures kaleidoscopic palette, Ms. Karlssons monoprints, pastels and encaustic paintings often evoke a sense of serenity and contemplation. Her works dip into abstraction, structure and function, revealing a world built on mathematical shapes that, regardless of absolutes, never quite feels defined. This sense of the unknowable, and the emotion that drives us to understand are always present in her work, from encaustic scars of heartbreak to solitary figures standing alone against the world. Ms. Karlsson is a Pomonabased artist who originally hails from Queens, New York. Her work, which debuted at the Main Street Gallery in Pomonas Art Colony in 2009, has been seen throughout the inland and desert regions of southern California from where her inspiration is drawn; in 2011, she designed her first album cover art for awardwinning Native American flutist Steve Rushingwind.

Dromedary Mezzanine represents the first showing of this artwork in the western United States and the first time the work has been on view since becoming part of Pomona Colleges permanent collection. One of Canadas most accomplished artists and one of Pomona Colleges most distinguished alumni, Mr. Baden has been creating kinesthetic sculptures and public artworks for four decades. Mr. Baden graduated from Pomona College in 1958 and returned 10 years later to take on the roles of professor of art, department chair and gallery director.

In over 60 years as an artist, Mr. Hammersley produced a wide range of drawings, from naturalistic portraits to computer-generated drawings.

The Summary will be provided to Trustor(s) and/or vested owner(s) only, pursuant to CA Civil Code Section 2923.3(c)(2).) YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 07/13/2007. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER.

All right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County and state, and as more fully described in the above referenced Deed of Trust.

Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. 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)730-2727 for information regarding the trustee`s sale or visit this Internet Web site, https://www.lpsasap.com/, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 94620424.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE THE FILE KEPT BY THE COURT.

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) 573-1965 or visit this Internet Web site www.priorityposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 12-49583. 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 Summary will be provided to Trustor(s) and/or vested owner(s) only, pursuant to CA Civil Code Section 2923.3(c)(2).) YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 02/17/2005. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. NBS Default Services, LLC, as the duly appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust Recorded 03/03/2005 as Document No.: 05 0487382, of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of Los Angeles County, California, executed by: JULIANNE WINSLOW AND MATT R WINSLOW, WIFE AND HUSBAND, as Trustor, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH (payable in full at time of sale by cash, a cashier's check drawn by a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state).

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)730-2727 for information regarding the trustee`s sale or visit this Internet Web site, https://www.lpsasap.com/, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 9551-1175. 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.

Absolutely very professional. Smoothest transaction I have ever experienced when comparing to any other large purchases I have ever made. Mason has really raised the bar for me to evaluate any other customer service in any field. He is very knowledgeable, has great rapport and was absolutely on top of [every step]. I had some very tight deadlines in purchasing my home and I feel very fortunate that I came across Mason as I consider him an integral part of why I was able to meet my purchase goals and deadlines. My parents are now considering moving into the area and of course, this is a no-brainer, they will call Mason when they are ready. Andy P.
