Claremont Living
Dear Editor:
Congratulations to all the COURIER
staff on the inaugural edition of Clare-
mont Living. I also want to thank Beth
Hartnett, the photographer Steven
Felschundneff and all the COURIER
staff who involved in developing the ar-
ticle on our home at 1035 Harvard Ave.
in the Village. The work was informa-
tive, accurate and still very interesting to
read (even though it is about our home).
Thanks again for taking the time to
profile an important part of Claremonts
architecture, history and past.

Boon Companion
Dear Editor:
Thank you for introducing us to the
new owners of Boon Companion. For
the last five years, I have taken my chil-
dren to Boon Companion and I welcome
the new owners to Claremont.
In the last couple weeks, they have
made the store a beautiful place for
young children to visit. They listen to
their customers and they are friendly to
the children who come in.
Please continue to introduce us to new
people who keep Claremont a nice place
to raise children.

Changing times
as tattoo parlor
sets to open in
Claremont
S
ince a 15-year ban on tattoo par-
lors was lifted in 2001, Clare-
mont is set to welcome its first
ink emporium.
Hector Paramo, a law enforcement officer who
lives in Rancho Cucamonga, has filed his papers
with the county clerk to open Victorious Gallery
Tattoos at 1420 N. Claremont Blvd., Suite 102B.
I would say determination was the key to
opening the shop, Mr. Paramo said. The city
gave us a map with the zoning that allows tattoo
shops, and its very, very limited in the city of
Claremont.
After some calls and searching, Mr. Paramo lo-
cated a vacancy in the Claremont Boulevard in-
dustrial center, which boasts an array of local
businesses, from the nonprofit Shoes That Fit to
Claremont Craft Ales to the COURIER office.
Our tattoo shop is not going to be like other
shops, he said. Were targeting the more pro-
fessional crowd. Our artists are professionals and
that is our main goal.
Claremont first adopted the countys public
health code in 1959, but made several amend-
ments unique to the city, including the ban on
body art facilities. Put into effect in 1994, Clare-
monts ban on tattoo parlors came largely be-
cause state and local legislation at the time did
not enforce health code inspections at body art
shops.
The neighboring city of Upland, by contrast,
has long permitted tattoo shops and is currently
home to more than a half-dozen ink parlors.
In 2010, a First Amendment rights case out of
Hermosa Beach was taken to the US Ninth Cir-
cuit Court of Appeals after a tattoo artist in that
city was prevented from opening his business.
The plaintiffs win was cause for concern for
Claremont city staff.
So in September 2011, Claremont moved to
make changes to regulations on tattoo parlors to
comply with rights granted by the First Amend-
ment.
We can regulate it and determine where they
can go, Brian Desatnik, director of community
development explained, but we have to allow
them at least somewhere in the city, like these in-
dustrial park areas.
Although the Claremont City Council lifted the
ban in 2011, it came with restrictions. Tattoo
shops are not permitted within 200 feet of any
residential district, religious institution, school or
public park, and no two ink shops are allowed
within 250 feet of each other. Restrictions do not
apply to medical procedures performed by med-
ical doctors or jewelers who offer ear piercings.
Inking is only permitted in areas zoned specifi-
cally as business/industrial parks, like the com-
plex north of Foothill Boulevard, between
Claremont Boulevard and Monte Vista Avenue. A
second possible location would be the complex
north of Arrow Highway and south of the railroad
tracks, located east of Cambridge Avenue and
west of Bucknell Avenue.
Victorious Gallery Tattoos has an opening tar-
get date of early- to mid-June.

T
he verdurous canopies of elms, oaks
and sycamores found throughout the
city of Claremont do more than just
provide shade to residents and visitors.
Their majestic beauty and historic longevity
are proof that it takes a village to continue
their legacy.
Whether youre enjoying a Sunday drive beneath a
baldachin of American Elms on Indian Hill Boulevard
or strolling under the Chinese Elms along Harvard Av-
enue, its hard to imagine our city without them.
Claremont has long been proclaimed the City of
Trees, but without proper maintenance and restoration
of its urban forest, the leaf-scape could be no more.
To insure its natural beauty endures, the city adopted
the Tree Policies and Guidelines Manual in 1997. The
81-page manual serves as a defining set of rules for
proper maintenance and enhancement of the citys
urban forest of more than 20,000 trees.
Although last revised in 2011, city staff recently rec-
ognized the need to update the existing manual and, in
June 2013, suggested soliciting public input in doing
just that. Claremonts Tree Committee as well as the
Community and Human Services Commission were in
agreement and so began the lengthy revision process.
With the assistance of the Inland Urban Forest Group
(IUFG), city staff hosted a series of four well-attended
educational workshops over six months that provided a
community opportunity to share ideas and discuss var-
ious policy issues. Sustainable Claremonts Tree Action
Group (TAG) attended the workshops and was praised
by the commission for role they played in providing
public feedback on the recommended policy changes.
Those changes came before Claremonts Community
and Human Services Commission on Wednesday
evening who approved the revisions without amend-
ments and recommended the updated tree policy move
forward to city council.
The most notable revisions, among others presented
to the Commission, were the designation of street trees,
resident notification of new and replacement trees, solar
panel accommodation, pest and disease control, as well
as watering methods.
Designated street trees
The existing Tree Policy Manual designates one to
two street trees for each city street or by block. How-
ever, the Inland Urban Forest Group recommends re-
vising that policy to include at least three to five tree
species per street.
Currently, the city offers 272 different species of
trees. Among the most common species in Claremont
are Crape Myrtle, American Sweetgum, California
Sycamore, Coast Live Oak, Canary Island Pine, Holly
Oak and Jacaranda. Surprisingly, of the 272 species
available, 217 make up less than half a percent of Clare-
monts total urban forest.
By increasing the number of designated species,
IUFG believes the city could develop a thoughtful list
of suitable species that takes into account grow space,
overhead clearance conflicts, tree canopy, availability
of water and resident preference. It would also enable
staff to include drought-tolerant varieties as a viable op-
tion for homeowners who wish to reduce their water
consumption.
Resident notification of new and replacement trees
Although no prior procedure was in place regarding
resident notification of new and replacement trees, a
practice that began during the 2012 winter planting
cycle may now be incorporated into a new policy.
Currently, the citys arborist creates a list of planting
sites, places a small mark at the curb to identify the pro-
posed location and property owners are notified via let-
ter that the city is considering a tree at the marked
location. Residents must then confirm they are com-
mitted to watering and caring for the newly planted tree

he suspect shot by a Claremont po-
lice officer on May 5 has been
identified and charged for crimes
relating to the incident.
Marcelo Herrera, 24, was charged Wednesday, May
7 with three felony counts, including assault on a po-
lice officer, unlawful driving or taking of a vehicle
and possession of a controlled substance, namely
methamphetamine.
The criminal complaint filed by the Los Angeles
County District Attorney against Mr. Herrera also
identifies Lt. Jason Walters as the officer involved
According to Los Angeles county court records,
this is not Mr. Herreras first run in with law enforce-
ment. In December 2013, the Pomona resident was
charged with resisting an executive officer (PC 69)
and sentenced to three years probation and 30 days in
jail following a plea of no contest.
Mr. Herrera was again arrested by Pomona police
in February 2014 and charged with possession of a
smoking device, a misdemeanor. He entered a plea of
no contest and was sentenced to 10 days in jail and
three years probation.
In addition to the recent felony charges, Mr. Her-
reras May 7 arrest may also be in violation of his pro-
bation.
At approximately 3 a.m. on Monday, May 5, the
24-year-old Pomona man was shot by Lt. Walters on
San Jose Avenue. While patrolling the 500 block of
west San Jose Avenue in Claremont in search of a re-
ported stolen vehicle out of Montclaira white 1996
Honda AccordLt. Walters saw the vehicle in an
alley.
As the officer drove closer, the car sped away, ac-
cording to a release by the Claremont Police Depart-
ment. Moments later, police located the car, which
appeared to be empty. When Lt. Walters approached
the car on foot, Mr. Herrera suddenly put the car in re-
verse toward the officer. At that time, the officer shot
at the vehicle, striking the alleged assailant. Mr. Her-
erra was treated at the scene and then airlifted to
County USC.
The Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department
Homicide Bureau has been contacted to investigate
the shooting along with the Los Angeles County Dis-
trict Attorneys Officer Involved Shooting team.
From the initial investigation, it appears our offi-
cer handled the situation cautiously, City Manager
Tony Ramos said. But whenever there is an officer-
related shooting, it is standard protocol to have an
outside agency review and investigate the matter.
Lt. Walters, a 16-year veteran with the Claremont
Police Department, was promoted in 2013 from ser-
geant and there is hardly an area of enforcement he
hasnt had a part in.He was selected as the depart-
ments Police Officer of the Year in 2004 and the Su-
pervisor of the Year in 2012. He is also the recipient
of the Police Departments Medal of Excellence.
Mr. Herrera remains hospitalized at USC with a
gunshot injury to his upper torso. He is expected to be
arraigned in Pomona court once his medical condition
improves.

age. Although there is no sign of forced
entry, the victim is sure the paintings
were stolen and not misplaced. Accord-
ing to Lt. Mike Ciszek, there are no sus-
pects at this time.

EDUCATION
F
or almost two hours last
Thursday, one woman
held a gymnasium full
of middle school students
transfixed with the unbeliev-
able tale of how a group of
teenagers changed their lives
with the simple power of the
written word.
During two assemblies at El Roble In-
termediate School, Erin Gruwell related
how, as a first-year English teacher in
one of the Southlands lowest perform-
ing high schools, she used determination
and a belief in the ability of one person
to make a difference to turn 150 of the
schools worst students into college
graduates and individuals who want to
change the world. She achieved this by
convincing her class that if they wrote
their life stories other people would be
interested.
The result was a collection of these
students stories called The Freedom
Writers Diary, which became a num-
ber-one best-selling book and a movie
starring Hilary Swank. The proceeds
from the book paid for the students col-
lege educations and empowered them to
change the course of their lives.
In the beginning, all Ms. Gruwell had
was a room full of disenfranchised and
disillusioned teens with three things in
common: they did not like each other,
school or their new English teacher.
She began her talk by introducing
some of those former students from
room 203 who attended Long Beachs
Woodrow Wilson High School in 1994.
It was a year after the Los Angeles riots
and an extremely violent time in the his-
tory of southern California. The students
in Ms. Gruwells class were largely
black and Hispanic, many were gang
members and most had friends or family
who had been murdered. During that
year, 126 young people were killed in
Long Beach, according to Ms. Gruwell.
This was the environment that her stu-
dents endured every day.
A student named Maria, who showed
up on the first day of class with a black
eye and an ankle monitor, wrote in an
essay book: I hate Erin and if I werent
on probation Id probably shank (stab)
her. Another student named Darius put
it this way, I feel like I come from an
undeclared war.
What would make a 14 year old so
angry that he would take gun and shoot
randomly? Ms. Gruwell asked rhetori-
cally. Why have they already given
up?
However, she was undeterred; per-
haps because she saw that more than
pity or handouts, they wanted a hand up.
To break through, Ms. Gruwell in-
vented a game in which her students
stood facing each other on either side of
a line drawn down the center of the
classroom, and then approached the line
in response to various questions about
their interests and their lives. At the end
of the game, most of the students stood
face-to-face on the line.
The idea was to get them
to recognize their shared
struggle, living in
poverty and violence,
rather than viewing the
world as a battleground
they faced alone.
She used a similar
game Thursday to send a
message of unity to the
El Roble students.
Through a series of in-
creasingly probing ques-
tions, students were
asked to stand if they
had experienced some of
the common stressful
situations faced by teens.
Among other queries,
she asked if anyone had
ever been bullied, or knew someone
who abused drugs. Following many of
the questions, a majority of students
stood, enabling them, perhaps for the
first time, to realize how common these
situations are.
The Freedom Writers Diary began
as anonymous journal entries about the
everyday struggles faced by the students
of room 203. Partly inspired by Anne
Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl, they
began to collect the stories and took the
name from The Freedom Riders of the
American civil rights movement.
The Freedom Writers, Ms. Gruwells
original students who now work with
her, describe the inspiration for the book
on the official website as follows, We
discovered that writing is a powerful
form of self expression that could help
us deal with our past and move forward.
Room 203 was like Annes attic...it was
our safe haven, where we could cry,
laugh, and share our stories without
being judged.
Ms. Gruwells visit to Claremont was
prompted by a request from her niece
Emma Cossey, a seventh grader at El
Roble. She told her story twice, first for
the seventh grade and then for the
eighth, but says there is no script, I
change it a little bit each time I tell it,
and in that way she tailors it to each au-
dience.
Following the talk, 14-
year-old Alexandra Castro
queued up with a dozen
other students to get Ms.
Gruwells autograph.
I know how it feels to
have family in jail, she
said somewhat sheepishly,
explaining that her brother
was in prison. I have
never met him, because I
was not born yet, but my
dad said maybe we will go
this year.
Fellow student Alexis
Rodriguez was inspired by
the story.
You dont find a teacher
like that every day, who re-
ally cares and makes a dif-
ference, she said as her
friends nodded in agreement.
Following the success of The Free-
dom Writers Diary, Ms. Gruwell cre-
ated the Freedom Writers Foundation,
which trains educators around the world,
particularly those who work in difficult
teaching environments. The foundation
also offers scholarships to first-genera-
tion high school graduates and stages
seminar assemblies and professional de-
velopment events through the Freedom
Writers Outreach program.

Turns out, Claremont teens have quite a story to tell
Author and teacher Erin Gruwell answers questions from El Roble students after her talk detailing her experiences that
led to the writing of The Freedom Writers Diary. The book, which is a collection of stories by Ms. Gruwells students at
Wilson High School in Long Beach, became a number-one bestseller and a feature length movie.
I
t took Michelangelo four years to
paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.
I mention this because my name ends
in a vowel, and I am on the verge of feel-
ing that it might also take me that long to
paint...my kitchen.
Its probably some form of blasphemy to compare
oneself to Michelangelo but, the more I read, the
more our experiences seem to parallel.
The Sistine Chapel was painted under the commis-
sion of Pope Julius II, the head of the Roman Catholic
Church at that time (1508-1512); my kitchen was
painted at the behest of Andy Weissman, my husband
(1986-present), who thought our white cabinets were
starting to look a little shabby.
The chapel is the location for papal conclaves and
many important services. My kitchen is the heart and
center of our family life. Prize-winning essays have
been penned and complex algebraic equations have
been solved at its table; great debates have swirled in
its confines (Son: Why do I have to eat vegetables?
Mother: Because I had to eat them when I was a
kid); and great leaps of faith have transpired (Can
you make a macaroon kosher for Passover by substi-
tuting matzoh for Saltines? Yes!).
To reach the chapels ceiling, Michelangelo de-
signed his own scaffold. To retouch the edges where
our walls meet our generous and airy 9-foot by 4-inch
high ceiling, I stood on a rickety stepladder that had
once served as the boost my son needed to reach the
top bunk. I perched precariously over the stove and
also put great belief in the theory that the thin ply-
wood that was temporarily serving as our countertop
(until the new one arrived) would hold my weight.
I found, as I cleaned out the many nooks and cran-
nies of the kitchen cabinets, that there were almost as
many enigmatic and cryptic vagaries inside these
spaces as there are mysteries of the Vaticanthe
spice closet alone yielded a number of conundrums:
three half-filled containers of ground ginger, many,
many, many packets of Taco Bell hot sauce and In-
and-Out spread and one container of Vidalia onion
relish, which I believe Ive been holding on to be-
cause it comes in a reusable Collectable European
Drinkware container. At least it had not expired as
had several jars of spices, packages of dried fruits
(apparently I never made that updated recipe for fruit-
cake), and bottles of assorted weight loss supplements
(Hmm, I thought, as I sorted through these, maybe I
should try this Green Tea pill!).
I turned to my patron saint, Martha Stewart, for in-
spiration and to coordinate colors: Hosta, Zinc, Frost
and Enamelware, which sound so much prettier than
what they really aregreenish-blue, gray, light gray
and light green.
And I prayed a lot. I prayed that I would not drip or
spill paint on the wood floors, that I would not lose
my balance and then try to break a fall by acrobati-
cally grabbing and, most likely send-crashing to the
floor, our expensive pot rack/light fixture. And in the
end, I prayed thatjust like Michelangelos work
the finished product would hold up if not for 500
years at least until the next family who owns our
house wants to take on a new look for the kitchens
second century.

Foothill Boulevard plans
Dear Editor:
The city of Claremont is in the
process of creating a master plan for
Foothill Bouelvard. Current discussions
revolve solely around the tangible is-
sues: sidewalks, bike lanes, landscap-
ing, etc. There is, however, another
aspect to be considered, which has not
yet received much recognition. Lets
call them the intangibles.
The website the Art of Geography
calls it The Sense of Place, which
they define as, a combination of char-
acteristics that makes a place special
and unique. Sense of place involves the
human experience in a landscape...[it]
also grows from identifying oneself in
relation to a particular piece of land on
planet Earth.
They continue,
...places like strip malls have little
sense of place because they more or
less all look very similar, often have no
name and no one who wants to spend
any time there or write anything about
them. [recall the song, Get Your
Kicks on Route 66] Whereas places
that exhibit a strong sense of place have
an identity and character recognized
immediately by a visitor and valued
deeply by residents.
Ill add to thata unique identity
and character.
As the novelist Wendell Berry put it,
If you don't know where you are, you
dont know who you are.
Professor Kent Ryden put it this way,
A sense of place results gradually and
unconsciously from inhabiting a land-
scape over time, becoming familiar
with its physical properties, accruing
history within its confines.
Now, clearly, Foothill Boulevard is
not the be-all and end-all of our sense
of place in Claremont. But it definitely
is part of it, and deserves to be re-
spected for that. Other parts of Clare-
mont are important as well. For
example, Base Line Road, the Village,
the Old School House and the Bernard
Field Station, to name just a few.
A troubling trend in the present-day
urban planning realm toward master
planning, and its usual cookie-cutter
designs, disturbs and destroys our sense
of place.
Looking around Claremont, we al-
ready see a plethora of look-alike
condo developments going in along
Base Line, and look-alike street-scapes
in many southern California citiesas
more egregiously epitomized by, per-
haps, Irvine and Rancho Cucamonga.
Master plans that call for arbitrary
change just because the changes can
physically be donein the literal sense
or because there is funding avail-
able, are not necessarily good changes.
To be good changes, the reasons
need to be so compelling that they are
obvious to everyone. The changes the
city is putting forth for Foothill Boule-
vard, thus far, are not compellingly ob-
vious, do not respect Claremonts
heritage and sense of place, and, with
very few exceptions, should not go for-
ward.
Some of those very few exceptions
are (1) bioswales, (2) replace dead trees
and bushes with live tree and bushes
and (3) add a few more trees. That
should about do it.

M
oney troubles persist
for a local Demo-
cratic political action
committee after its lawsuit
against the Democratic Club of
Claremont was tossed out of
court because of a bounced
check.
According to a clerks notice filed April
30 by the Los Angeles Superior Court, the
Inland Communities Democratic Head-
quarters PAC attorney, Kevin Taylor,
bounced a $435 check when filing the
complaint on March 11. The PAC had 25
days to cover the fees, but failed to meet
the deadline.
After repeated calls by the COURIER
to Mr. Taylor, a Beverly Hills attorney
who represents the PAC, the lawyer said
he was surprised to learn the case had
been voided by the court for unpaid fees
and admitted it was the first hed heard of
the courts decision.
He insisted, however, that the bounced
check had not been drawn from his law
firms bank account or by his client.
The check did not bounce from my
clients trust account, Mr. Taylor asserted.
Taxpayer money was not used at all. This
was a personal check out of my own ac-
count.
Yesterday morning, Thursday, May 8,
Mr. Taylor resubmitted payment in down-
town LA to have the case reinstated, the
Los Angeles County Clerk confirmed.
I paid with cash, Mr. Taylor said.
A retainer payment of $8,160 to Mr.
Taylor was drawn on March 11 for attor-
neys fees, according to the PACs Federal
Election Commission (FEC) filing for the
first quarter of 2014. Additional payments
include a $25 bounced check fee to
Wells Fargo bank and a $10 payment for
the cashiers check to the attorney.
The suit was brought by the PACs ex-
ecutive boardZephyr Tate-Mann, Rudy
Mann and Bob Gereckewhich charged
the Democratic Club of Claremont with
fraud and breach of contract, among other
infractions. The PAC seeks to recover
$64,000 from the club for fundraising in
the 2008 presidential electionfundrais-
ing conducted solely by Mr. Mann on be-
half of the PAC, according to the com-
plaint.
The PAC filed the lawsuit on March 11,
roughly two weeks after attorney Daren
Hengesbach sent a letter to Mr. Mann
seeking to recover an unrelated $12,600
loan made by the Democratic Club of
Claremont in 2009. The loan, according to
the club, was given for the specific pur-
pose of paying for a permanent local
Democratic headquarters.
According to a promissory note signed
by PAC members Mr. Mann and Mr.
Gerecke, as well as Democratic Club
members Gar Byrum and Debi Evans, the
PAC is obligated to repay [the $12,600]
without interest when and if the PAC
abandons its effort to establish a facility for
use by Democratic candidates and organ-
izations. The promissory note also stipu-
lates that if the PAC finds a building, the
club will deem the $12,600 a contribution.
From October of 2009 to February
2014, the PAC had not purchased or
rented a facility to be used for political
meetings of regional Democrats. Verbal
requests by Democratic Club members
were made to the Manns over the years for
an accounting of the $12,600, however,
nothing ever materialized. Ms. Tate-Mann
maintains that the money was not a loan
but was owed to the PAC for her hus-
bands fundraising efforts.
The Democratic Club of Claremont has
now filed a lawsuit against the PAC, Mr.
Mann, Ms. Tate-Mann and Mr. Gerecke
for failing to repay the $12,600 loan in
light of not securing a headquarters.
[The PAC] had an obligation to the
people who donated the money, Mr.
Hengesbach said.
Although the PACs suit against the
club has been reinstated, additional hur-
dles exist.
The PAC did two things wrong, Mr.
Hengesbach explained. They filed in
downtown Los Angeles, when they should
have filed with the Pomona court. The
second is, they didnt answer our com-
plaint, which was due April 30.
Mr. Hengesbach also believes the two
cases will likely be consolidated by the
courts at some point.
With the April 30 deadline passed, Mr.
Hengesbachs next step is to file a Request
for Entry of Default on behalf of the club,
which could allow for the court to decide
the case without hearing from the PAC.

Claremont COURIER/Friday, May 9, 2014 8 EDUCATION
I
t is an exciting time for Claremont Uni-
fied School District. CUSD has had a
long standing tradition of excellence in
academics, the arts, athletics and extracur-
ricular and co-curricular activities.
As the 2013-2014 school year comes to an end, I would
like to highlight several of the accomplishments that have
supported this tradition of excellence.
For the first time in 40 years, the state of California sig-
nificantly changed the funding formula for K-12 public
schools with the adoption
of the Local Control Fund-
ing Formula (LCFF). The
final dollar amount in LCFF for the 2014-2015 school year
will be established when the state budget is adopted in
June.
One of the major requirements in LCFF is that all
school districts develop a Local Control Accountability
Plan (LCAP) that aligns districts financial resources with
their educational goals. The State Board of Education
has adopted eight priority areas that districts must address
in their LCAP: student achievement, student engagement,
school climate, parental involvement, course access, ba-
sic services, other student outcomes and Common Core
State Standards. The LCAP requires districts to solicit in-
put from stakeholders in the development of its goals in
these eight priority areas. CUSD developed an LCAP
Advisory Council consisting of community members rep-
resenting the Central Parent Faculty Association, local col-
leges and universities, the Fairplex, Baldy View Regional
Occupation Program, CUSD certificated and classified
staff, students and administrators. The advisory council
met on five occasions and conducted a town hall meeting
where the entire community was invited to provide input
on the eight priority areas. Additional information on the
work completed by the advisory council, as well as emerg-
ing themes that were discussed, can be found on the dis-
tricts website at www.cusd.claremont.edu.
In January, the board reviewed the districts vision,
mission, core values and strategic goals, made minor re-
visions to the core values and asked for input in revising
the student achievement strategic goal, which was aligned
to the California Standards Test. The LCAP Advisory
Council drafted a revised strategic goal on student achieve-
ment and provided it to the board in February. After board
review, a new student achievement goal and the five orig-
inal strategic goals were adopted and extended through
June 2016.
Professional development continues to be an area of fo-
cus. In November, a student free day was provided for the
first time in many years so that all district staff could re-
ceive training on our transition to the Common Core State
Standards. Additional trainings have been held through-
out the year, which have included developing new units
of study that align with the Common Core standards.
CUSD entered into escrow on property located on
Base Line Road, which was the site of our service center
for many years. The property was sold to DR Horton, who
purchased the old district office site adjacent to this prop-
erty. Escrow is expected to close in the summer of 2014.
A new service center is under construction at our current
district office site and should be completed by June.
Our schools and district continued to receive many
awards this year. Congratulations are extended to Condit
Elementary School for being named a California Distin-
guished School. Schools selected for the California Dis-
tinguished School award are realizing high academic
achievement and educational excellence for all students.
Throughout this year, Chaparral, Oakmont and Vista del
Valle Elementary Schools participated in the Grades of
Green Trash Free Lunch Challenge. The annual chal-
lenge is a competition between Los Angeles county
schools to see which schools experience the greatest re-
duction in lunchtime trash. Students are taught how to
bring trash free lunches, and kids who buy lunches sort
waste into recyclables, compost, liquid and landfill.
Over the past two years, participating schools have de-
creased lunchtime trash by an average of 70 percent with
the winning schools reducing trash by over 90 percent. Out
of a field of 24 county schools participating in the chal-
lenge this year, Vista del Valle took first place and received
the grand prize of a $1,000 education grant.
Over spring break, the Claremont High School Cham-
ber Singers traveled to Washington DC to participate in the
Festival of Gold Choir Competition. The choir not only
took the top spot in their category, but were also named as
the top overall scoring choir of the entire festival, making
CHS one of the top choir programs in the country. Our stu-
dents were excellent ambassadors of our school district,
community and state.
Congratulations are also in order for Chaparral, Condit,
Mountain View, Oakmont, Sycamore and Vista del Valle
Elementary Schools, and El Roble Intermediate School for
being named 2013 California Business for Education Ex-
cellence Honor Roll Schools.
Schools receiving this distinction from the California
business community have consistently demonstrated high
levels of student academic achievement and a reduction
in the achievement gaps among student populations. The
CBEE Honor Roll is comprised of Star Schools and
Scholar Schools.
CBEE Star Schools are those with significant popula-
tions of socioeconomically disadvantaged students that
have shown a significant increase in grade-level profi-
ciency over time. Mountain View, Oakmont, Vista and El
Roble were all honored as Star Schools.
CBEE Scholar Schools show significant levels of aca-
demic achievement, but do not have a significant socioe-
conomically disadvantaged student population. Chaparral,
Condit and Sycamore were honored as Scholar Schools.
This honor recognizes the hard work of all of our teach-
ers, support staff, parents, administrators, and community
partners, ensuring that students are meeting our high ex-
pectations, and that student learning and achievement is
the focus of our efforts.
The Education Trust-West (ETW) recently released
their fourth annual Report Card, ranking Californias
largest school districts on academic and college readiness
outcomes for Latino, African American and socioeco-
nomically disadvantaged students. Among the 149 districts
that received rankings in 2013, Claremont Unified School
District tied for third place. CUSD has advanced from 48th
to third over the last four years by improving the per-
formance of our socioeconomically disadvantaged stu-
dents and narrowing the achievement gap in academic per-
formance between African American and white students.
Districts are graded on academic performance, aca-
demic improvement over five years, the size of achieve-
ment gaps and college readiness. Grades on these four in-
dicators are combined into a single overall grade. CUSD
earned an overall grade of a B, the highest grade earned
by any district in California.
It is a privilege to work in the Claremont Unified
School District where staff, students, parents, community
partners and the board continue to work collaboratively to
ensure our students receive a rigorous and well-rounded
education. On behalf of the board of education, I thank you
for your role in supporting our students.

MESSAGE
Getting to know our neighbors
by Karl Hilgert
W
hen my wife Judy and I
moved from northern
California to Pilgrim
Place in Claremont in August of
2012, we were not quite sure how we
would fare in getting to know our 324
new neighbors. We got a bit of an inkling,
however, when I wheeled the rental mov-
ing truck up in front of our new residence.
What to our wondering eyes should ap-
pear, but 18 Pilgrims in yellow Many
Hands Movers T-shirts!
They helped us unload the truck in two hours in
contrast to the long, hard six-hour loading jobeven
with the aid of four friends in Healdsburg, from
whence we had come.
That was just the first in a series of neighborly acts
in this intentional community. Neighbors brought
over homemade goodies and showed us around the
immediate neighborhood. They advised us of the
many activities we could become part of. We were in-
vitedalong with other newly-arrived residents in the
communityto home after home for evenings of
dessert and getting to know you conversations. It
was easy to feel a part of this community in a hurry.
Next, I met new neighbors and made new friends
through an intergenerational course with co-instruc-
tors Jerry Irish, longtime Pomona College professor,
and Rev. David Mann, a retired community organizer
and resident of Pilgrim Place.
As described in the Pomona College Magazine
(Fall 2013) The Class: Religion, Ethics and Social
Practice is a learning partnership of faculty and stu-
dents from the Claremont Colleges and residents of
Pilgrim Place... It takes up questions such as: What
are the religious, ethical and/or simply humane ele-
ments that motivate and sustain our social practice?
How does our own personal development facilitate or
inhibit our capacity to deal effectively with injustice?
The course culminates in student proposals for three-
to nine-month social change projects.
This is but one of a number of partnered educa-
tional and service opportunities bringing neighbors
together in Claremont.
My most recent opportunity to get to know addi-
tional neighbors in Claremont has come through my
relationship with the Claremont Homeless Advocacy
Program (CHAP). This program grew out of Occupy
Claremont, from which a group formed to evaluate
the extent of homelessness in the Claremont area
through a grant from Tri City Mental Health. This
group evolved into what is now known as CHAP.
Between July 2012 and February 2013, contact
with homeless folks was made in Claremont by An-
drew Mohr, while two members from the Claremont
Society of Friends, Mary Cooper and Paul Wood,
each began working with a homeless individual, help-
ing them negotiate the morass of bureaucracy in-
volved in securing basic survival like general
relief or Social Security disability and food
stamps. Paul and Mary each assisted their par-
ticipants in getting financial, food, health and
other assistance, which improved their life situ-
ations considerably.
A core planning group, including Mr. Mohr, Mr.
Wood, Ms. Cooper, David Levering, Karen Chapman
Lenz, Charles Bayer, Deborah McKean and Father
George Silides, was formed. As a former director of a
shelter, transitional housing and advocacy program in
New Haven, Connecticut, I was invited to join the
group.
Mr. Mohr and I became the outreach representa-
tives of the group. We observed 62 homeless individ-
uals in the past year and engaged with over 50
individuals. CHAP core group members trained 14
advocates to assist 34 single men and women to re-
ceive a variety of services, including financial assis-
tance, food stamps, job assistance and physical and
mental health services. Families with children were
referred to services available for them.
Most recently, on January 24, the members of the
Claremont Friends Meeting have made their facility
available for CHAP to provide a program of
overnight accommodations for up to eight men and
two women per night. CHAP volunteers provide
overnight hosting, breakfast each morning and noon
snack bags to be taken for the day. The overnight
guests have joined in the work of setting up, and
cleaning and have recently begun sharing the supervi-
sion of overnight shifts.
Next, CHAP will provide a hot evening meal and
shared conversation around the table among CHAP
participants, advocates and volunteers. St. Ambrose
Episcopal Church has offered their site for the first
CHAP Community Caf to be held on Thursday
evenings. Other churches and community groups are
being urged to provide their sites on other nights.
CHAP provides a variety of ways for Claremont
and surrounding community residents to get to know
some neighbors who otherwise might not be made to
feel a part of this wonderful Claremont community.

teer and get to know more of our neighbors, contact

Dr. Arno Ronald Hohn was beloved as
a true gentleman, who treated everyone
with kindness, fairness and dignity. He
devoted his lifes work to the treatment
of children with heart disease.
The Claremont resident died on March
21, 2014. He was 82.
Dr. Hohn was born in 1931 in New
Jersey. He graduated from Passaic Val-
ley High School in Littlefield, New Jer-
sey in 1949. The Valley Green
yearbook produced his senior year noted
that young Arno had served as senior
class president and was the schools
drum major. He was also voted Most
Likely to Succeed.
He went on to graduate from New
York Medical College in 1956. After
serving in the Air Force, he became a
faculty member at Buffalos Childrens
Hospital and then at the Medical Uni-
versity of South Carolina. He next served
as chief of the Division of Cardiology at
Childrens Hospital Los Angeles from
1984 through 1999.
Dr. Arno, as he was affectionately
known, served as a professor of pedi-
atrics at the University of Southern Cal-
ifornia. His research focused on
hypertension in pediatrics as well as
heart problems in muscular dystrophy,
HIV and premature infants. He received
several best teacher awards, dedicated
to teaching residents and fellows. Dr.
Hohn also authored a number of papers
and books in his areas of expertise, in-
cluding the 1974 manual Basic Pediatric
Electrocardiography.
In his spare time, Dr. Hohn was an
avid outdoorsman and a member of the
Claremont United Methodist Choir.
After his retirement, he became active in
Claremont Sunrise Rotary.
Arno, your hugs and kindness will be
missed, Rotarian Karina Anderson re-
cently posted on the Claremont Sunrise
Rotary Facebook page.
Another Rotarian, Pam Bergman-
Swartz, posted the following tribute, re-
calling her first meeting with Dr. Hohn
when both were volunteering at the an-
nual Claremont Turkey Trot.
I learned Dr. Hohn was a retired pe-
diatric cardiologist. What he failed to tell
me, and what I learned later, was that he
had 58 years experience in his field. He
was a published author and highly re-
spected by his peers, she marveled.
Despite his age, he was still devoted to
serving his community, coming out in
the wee hours of the morning, helping
with the set-up of the event.
Dr. Hohn is survived by his wife, Pat
Pruden; by his brother Fred and his wife
Marsha and their two children; and by
his three sons and their wives and chil-
dren.
A memorial service for Dr. Arno Hohn
will be held on Saturday, May 17 at 2:30
p.m. at the Claremont United Methodist
Church, 211 W. Foothill Blvd. in Clare-
mont.
In lieu of flowers, Arno wished dona-
tions to be made to: Childrens Hospital
Los Angeles, The Heart Institute, c/o
Michelle Marcinial, 4650 Sunset Blvd.
Mailstop #29, Los Angles, CA 90027.
Donations will be directed to the cardi-
ology fellowship program to train the
next generation of pediatric cardiolo-
gists.

Brooklyn, New York, the third of six chil-
dren. In 1967, young Marge moved to
California, where she met Stephen H.
Bromfield. The two were married in 1970.
Mr. Bromfield preceded his wife in death
in 1999, but was always in her heart.
When asked why she moved to Cali-
fornia, Mrs. Bromfield would smile and
say Because that is where my Dodgers
went.
She was not a person who understood
the words you cant, family shared.
Mrs. Bromfield taught her children to
have the same conviction when it came to
facing challenges in their lives or trying
new things. She instilled in her children
the love of community, volunteerism,
family, Frank Sinatra and, of course, her
beloved Dodgers.
Mrs. Bromfield retired from Bonita
Unified School District where she was the
Coordinator of Child Welfare & Atten-
dance, a position she had previously held
at Claremont Unified School District.
Mrs. B., as many called her, felt strongly
that children need a good education. In
fact, her passion landed her coverage in a
1986 Los Angeles Times article.
At the time, kids were not being held
culpable for excessive absences, a devel-
opment that left school districts powerless
to stem the growing tide of truancy. Of the
24 truancy cases the attendance review
boards of the Bonita and Claremont
school districts brought to the Probation
Department during the previous year,
none had been reviewed in Juvenile
Court.
So when the spring of 1986 rolled
around and it was discovered that a 14-
year-old Bonita High School student had
missed all but four days of school, Mrs.
Bromfield spearheaded an effort to hold
the mother accountable.
The case of the La Verne mom, who al-
legedly refused to respond to numerous
interventions, was filed with the deputy
district attorney in Pomona. In April, the
woman was tried at the Pomona Munici-
pal Court where she was found guilty of
permitting her daughter to miss so much
school.
The ruling, which carried a $100 fine,
was one of only five similar decisions to
have been made in Los Angeles County
over the previous two years. The district
agreed to wave the fee should the girls at-
tendance improve. The teen, according to
the story, had been in her classes every
day in the two weeks since the ruling, with
her mother accompanying her on the walk
to school.
Hard work did not end with retirement
for Mrs. Bromfield. She had a love of all
things community, from volunteering in
the schools to supporting charities to
working on political campaigns.
She and her family were very proud of
the work she did as a member of the
Claremont Committee on Human Rela-
tions and as a chairwoman and volunteer
with numerous Claremont City Council
and Claremont Unified School District
Board of Education campaigns.
Mrs. Bromfield was also chair of the
School Attendance Review Board and the
American Field Services Student Place-
ment Committee, and was a member of
the Los Angeles County Supervisors
Committee on Children and of the Cali-
fornia Association of Supervisors of Child
Welfare & Attendance.
Mrs. Bromfield was deeply involved in
her own childrens schooling, serving as
PFA president for Claremont High
School. Numerous other causes drew
Mrs. Bromfields attention. These in-
cluded membership in the Pomona Valley
Medical Center Volunteer and Auxiliary
Board, Holiday Homes for Pomona Val-
ley Hospital Medical Center, House of
Ruth, Shoes that Fit, the Inland Valley
Council of Churches and the League of
Woman Voters.
Mrs. Bromfield and her late husband
were also involved in Claremont Presby-
terian Church, and the International Place
of The Claremont Colleges. The couple
hosted several students from Japan over
the years, and enjoyed opening their home
to serve Thanksgiving dinner to interna-
tional students.
Her door was always open and Mrs. B.
was an advisor and confidante to many,
welcoming anyone who needed a place to
stop for a meal, a cup of coffee or a friend.
She received great joy in having a house
full of friends and in watching her chil-
dren, grandchildren and great-grandchil-
dren grow.
Mrs. Bromfield is survived by her sis-
ter, Helen Patricia Burke of Ireland; by her
daughter, Penny Myrdal of Rancho Cuca-
monga; by her son and daughter-in-law,
Guy and Peggy Johnsen of Anaheim, and
by her daughter and son-in-law, Nancy
Bromfield Scheid and Scott Scheid of
Monterey.
She also leaves her grandson and his
wife, Brian and Beth Myrdal of Salt Lake
City; her grandson Craig Myrdal of Den-
ver; her granddaughters, Kira and Chloe
Scheid of Monterey, and her great-grand-
daughters, Riley and McKenna Myrdal of
Salt Lake City.
A celebration of Mrs. Bromfields life
will be held on Sunday, May 18 at 3 p.m.
at Claremont Place, 120 W. San Jose Ave.
in Claremont. In lieu of flowers, the fam-
ily suggests that you make a donation in
memory of Marge J. Bromfield to the
Claremont Educational Foundation, 112
Harvard Ave. #191, Claremont, CA
91711.
The family wishes to thank the staff at
Claremont Place for their kind and loving
care of Marge for over seven years.

Claremont
Robert Rick Frampton of Olive-
hurst, California died at his home on
April 20, 2014. He was 71.
Mr. Frampton was born in Los Ange-
les on February 20, 1943 to Robert C.
Frampton and May Frampton of Clare-
mont. He was raised in Claremont, grad-
uating from Claremont High School in
1961. He served in the United States
Navy and, after his service, worked as a
cook for many years.
While Rick was growing up, his fa-
ther, affectionately known as Bob, was a
local legend. The elder Mr. Frampton
was a pioneer in aerial photography. Bob
also documented the history of the
growing city of Claremont and sur-
rounding communities, according to a
memorial post on the website of the
Claremont High School Alumni Society.
The Honnold Library houses an ex-
tensive collection of Robert C. Framp-
tons work, including scenic shots of
mountains, architecture and businesses
in and around Claremont. Rick also ed-
ited a book about his parents years at
Florence Lake, filled with photographs
they took, and donated copies to the
Claremont Library as well as the Hon-
nold Library.
Ricks mother, May, was a housewife
and helped her husband with their pho-
tography business. The Frampton family
came to Claremont in 1897 when Men-
dal Frampton, Ricks grandfather, be-
came the first professor of English at
Pomona College. He subsequently
headed the English department for over
40 years.
Rick was an avid outdoorsman and
was a loving husband, father, grandpa
and friend. He will be deeply missed,
family shared.
Rick is survived by his beloved wife,
Sheila; by his sons, Randall and Matt; by
his daughter, Candi; by his son-in-law,
Ramon, and by his daughter-in-law
Daniell. He also leaves his grandchil-
dren, Joel, Julius, Carissa and Ethan.
At Ricks request, services and inter-
ment are private. Sierra View Mortuary
in Olivehurst is assisting the family with
arrangements.

Margaret Boggess, a longtime Clare-
mont resident, died on Thursday, May
1, 2014 at the age of 100.
A memorial service for Mrs. Boggess
will be held on Saturday, May 24 at 2
p.m. at the Kingman Chapel of the
Claremont United Church of Christ, lo-
cated at 233 Harrison Ave. in Clare-
mont. All are welcome to attend.
A full account of Margaret Boggess
long life will be included in a future

T
his has been a week to remember
for Claremont High School thes-
pian David Cumpston.
He has been hard at work, preparing for the title
role in the musical Shrek, an elaborate $35,000 pro-
duction the CHS Theater Department will present at
Bridges Auditorium at the end of the month.
With graduation looming, the senior also has plenty
of homework. At a recent theater rehearsal, he
brought along several textbooks and the makings of
an essay, as well as his acting chops.
David took a welcome break on Saturday night
when he headed for this years senior prom, held at
the Peterson Automotive Museum in Los Angeles.
And then it was right back to work, this time doing
double-duty because a few days ago, when an actor
backed out of the lead in a student-directed one-act,
he agreed to take on the role.
Preparing to play the protagonist Josh, who has
loads of lines and even more angst, has been no easy
proposition. After all, Bang Bang Youre Dead,
along with The Actors Nightmare, debuts tonight,
Friday, May 9, at the Claremont Theater Departments
annual Student Directed One Act Film Festival.
This years festival, which will also be presented
tomorrow, Saturday, May 10, is aptly themed Tricks
of the Mind.
First, audiences will be treated to a short play called
The Actors Nightmare, in which an accountant en-
counters a nerve-wracking case of mistaken identity.
Confused with an actors understudy, he is forced to
perform in a play, even though he knows none of the
lines.
Seniors Emerson Dauwalter and Annika Ell-
wanger-Chavez are serving as co-directors for the
one-act. They both knew they wanted to experiment
with comedic timing so they asked CHS Theater De-
partment Head Krista Elhai to recommend some
comedies.
The Actors Nightmare was one of them, Annika
said. Its a zany show. I like itits so weird.
CHS Senior Odette Finn, who has served as chore-
ographer for Bang Bang Youre Dead, said the
comedy delivers laughs.
Its makes you smile because you put yourself in
that situationits like, Help me please, somebody.
We can all relate to that fear, she said.
A deadly subject
Next up, festival attendees will be exposed to
darker fare during the production of Bang Bang
Youre Dead.
The one-act follows a teen that goes on a rampage,
shooting his parents and five classmates. The souls of
the people he killed join with his personal demons
Laughs, chills to ensue during CHS student-directed plays
Ethan Kayda plays Shadow, a specter that controls the dark thoughts of lead character Josh, during rehearsal
of the Claremont High School adaptation of Bang, Bang Youre Dead. The play deals with the thoughts and
emotions of a school shooter, as well as his family and victims.

and an accusatory judge and jury to
conduct a dreamlike trial. During the
proceedings, the audience learns about
Joshs motivations, including ongoing
bullying, while the young killer is
forced to take responsibility for his ac-
tions.
Hardly a month seems to go by with-
out a school shooting making the news.
Claremont High School had its own
gun scare on March 19 when graffiti
found scrawled in a boys bathroom in-
dicated a student planned to bring a gun
to school the following day.
Needless to say, the subject of Bang
Bang Youre Dead, which features a
hooded character wielding a prop rifle,
is a sensitive one. But playwright
William Mastrosimone wrote the play
in 1999 on the premise that learning
about a problem can help prevent it.
The playwright was inspired by the
true story of 15-year-old Kip Kinkle, an
Oregon high school student who in
1988 went on a shooting rampage that
left his parents and two classmates dead
and 25 students wounded. Mr. Mas-
trosimone has disseminated the script
freely in the hopes that every high
school will stage the production. CHS
senior Lizzie Aguirre, who will soon
head to Seattle University to study the-
ater, is directing the play.
Odette, who studied ballet at the In-
land Pacific Ballet Academy for nine
years, has created dramatic dance
scenes featuring Joshs demons, whose
faces are painted to resemble skulls.
Odette considers the plays subject to
be of value, helping audiences under-
stand the potentially disastrous conse-
quences of bullying and of built-up
emotional pressure.
I do think people keep school shoot-
ings at the back of their mind, because
so many of them happen, Odette said.
[Bang Bang] is remarkable and scary
because its a touchy subject. But its
going to be a good show.
At a Wednesday night dress re-
hearsal, David was putting on a good
show, evoking a gamut of emotions
ranging from shame to vanity to mur-
derous rage. Ms. Elhai marvels that he
has been able to pull off the part on
such short notice. He says the feat was
made easier by the fact that the rest of
the cast had already come together to
create a believable backdrop for Joshs
nightmarish experience.
David, who will head this fall to UC
Santa Cruzmajoring in theater, of
coursehas known he wanted to act
since he was a child. Long before high
school, he was a student and then intern
with the Claremont School of Theatre
Arts summer acting program as well as
another community theater program.
What draws him to the craft of act-
ing?
Human emotion and human con-
nections are so fascinating. Acting is
about studying that and trying to recre-
ate thattrying to understand and tap
into empathy, he said.
And believe it or not, the very busy
David said starring in two productions
at one time doesnt overwhelm him.
Everyone has a way to help with
stress. Some people go jogging. This is
where I come to de-stress, he said, in-
dicating the stage.
The Student Directed One Act Play
Festival will take place at 7:30 p.m. on
May 9 and May 10. It will be held at
the Don F. Fruechte Performing Arts
Center, located on the CHS campus at
1601 N. Indian Hill Blvd. Admission is
$8 at the door.

before it is placed in the public easement.
Residents have been receptive to this
practice and as the economy has im-
proved, so has the acceptance of city
trees. According to reports, 34 out of 76
property-owners declined a tree in 2009-
2010. However, during 2011-2012, only
6 of 73 property owners declined. The
past year has been the most successful
with more than 100 trees planted.
Installation of solar panels
Solar panel installation is on the rise
and, in recent years, two Claremont
property owners have requested tree re-
moval to accommodate this green up-
grade. The current tree policies manual
does not provide any guidelines to ad-
dress this request. City staff and TAG ex-
pressed support for establishing a policy
consistent with the California State Law,
which prohibits plants from being placed
or allowed to grow so that it shades a
solar panel more than 10 percent from 10
a.m. to 2 p.m.
Established by the Solar Shade Act, the
state legislation proclaims if the tree is in
place when the solar panel is installed, the
trees have priority and are exempt from
the 10 percent requirement. The require-
ment does not apply to plants already in
place or replacement plants that die after
the installation of solar panels.
Pest and disease management
A new section will be added on ap-
propriate methods for pest and disease
management including Integrated Pest
Management (IPM) a process used to
solve pest problems while minimizing
risks to people and the environment. Bi-
ological controls, cultural controls, me-
chanical controls and physical controls
have been listed as possible approaches
as well as chemical controls. According
to the report, Claremont will utilize only
the most selective pesticides that will ac-
complish their intended job and be safe
for other organisms and for the air, soil
and water quality.
The policy clearly states that chemical
applications will be utilized only when
needed, in combination with other meth-
ods and applied in a way that minimizes
their possible harm to people and the en-
vironment.
Watering in drought conditions
With the worst drought weve seen in
decades, watering methods play a vital
role in a trees health. Additional infor-
mation on deep watering and how to
water new as well as established trees
will be included in the policy revision.
City staff will issue watering informa-
tion, particularly during extreme weather
conditions, through the citys website
and weekly updates.
Water bags for newly-planted trees
have been presented as an optional wa-
tering method and a cost-effective alter-
native to city-operated water trucks. The
bags are engineered to provide slow-re-
lease, deep-water saturation that con-
tributes to the good health and
appropriate root growth for newly
planted trees. If implemented, the water
bags could be provided by the city and
filled by the property owner once per
week.
According to Claremont resident
Mark von Wodtke, a registered land-
scape architect and a member of TAG,
the water bags are a good idea for newly
planted trees, but for Claremonts estab-
lished urban forest, its just not enough.
Our urban forest is in trouble, he

says. Take a look at the three elms on the northwest
corner of Memorial Park. Theyre in distress. Citing
the existing drought, a recent sidewalk renovation at
Memorial Park and an insufficient irrigation system,
Mr. von Wodtke says the elms are threatened. The
roots have been pruned and theyre not getting the water
they need. We need some bubblers in there.
Also a concern for Mr. von Wodtke and other mem-
bers of the Tree Action Group are the existing tree prun-
ing policies in place. Currently, the city implements a
grid pruning practicethe systematic pruning of all
trees on every street, regardless of whether the trees are
in need of pruning.
TAG member Doug Lyon believes this practice isnt
healthy for the trees and shared his beliefs with the
Commission. This policy isnt ready. It needs to be
sent back to the workshop setting for further discus-
sion, Mr. Lyon said. We need to eliminate grid prun-
ing.
Director Kathleen Trepa later addressed the com-
mission and TAG regarding the citys current pruning
techniques. Bottom line? Grid pruning is more cost-ef-
fective and the city will continue with the practice. Ac-
cording to Ms. Trepa, it costs the city $49 per tree as
opposed to $120 per tree using the species pruning
method.
With roughly 24,000 trees maintained by the city, the
dollars add up quickly.
Overall, the community and human services com-
mission had nothing but praise for TAG and city staff
for their tenacity and thoroughness in revising Clare-
monts Street Policies and Guidelines Manual. All
members seemed pleased with the majority of the revi-
sions and hoped to continue to utilize TAG in further
expanding Claremonts tree conservation efforts.
The Tree Policy revisions will be reviewed and dis-
cussed at a future city council meeting. No date has
been set.

City prepares for street slurry
project in northwest Claremont
Construction work for a slurry seal project in the
northwest portion of the city is scheduled for mid-sum-
mer and consists of removing and replacing damaged
asphalt and concrete sections of streets north of Foothill
Boulevard and south of Base Line Road, between
Towne Avenue and the westerly city limit.
The contractor began the project on Monday, May
5, which includes placing signage, setting up a stag-
ing area, posting temporary no parking signs for the
following weeks work, marking out areas for sched-
uled removals and saw-cutting those marked-out
areas.
The actual removal and replacement of asphalt and
concrete is tentatively scheduled to start on Monday,
May 12 and is anticipated to be completed by early
July. All residents within the project boundaries will
receive notification prior to the start of construction.
Questions regarding the construction may be directed
to the citys Engineering Division at (909) 399-5465.
Pomona College Museum of
Art awarded $100,000 grant for
Orozco fresco
The Pomona College Museum of Art has been
awarded a $100,000 Getty Foundation grant to sup-
port the research and planning for the future exhibi-
tion project Prometheus 1930/2017 under the Getty
Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA initiative.
When Jos Clemente Orozco completed his
Prometheus fresco at Pomona College in 1930, it was
the first mural painted in the US by one of Los Tres
Grandes of Mexican muralism. Jackson Pollock later
declared the mural the greatest contemporary paint-
ing in North America.
Prometheus 1930/2017, scheduled to open in
September of 2017, will position Mr. Orozcos 1930
mural and its public mode of communication of so-
cial and political ideas within contemporary artistic
practices and strategies in Mexico. The exhibition
will travel to el Museo Universitario del Chopo in
Mexico City in 2018.
The 2014 grant to Pomona College is one of 40
grantstotaling $5 millionthat will launch a series
of concurrent exhibitions at museums throughout
southern California starting in fall of 2017.

First annual Clare-
mont Zombie Run
entertains masses
Runners try to avoid being caught by Claremont resident
Tsun Tao, playing a slumber party zombie during the Clare-
mont Zombie Run. Runners were challenged to complete
the maze-like course while avoiding getting their flag belt
taken by one of the many costumed zombies.
LEFT: A wave of runners try to avoid zombie Amy Holland
as she stands in the middle of the path on Saturday during
the first ever Zombie Run at Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Gar-
den. Ms. Holland was dressed as a zombie flight attendant,
which was appropriate because she recently retired from
American Airlines.
CLAREMONT AFTER HOURS
T
he inaugural Claremont Zombie
Run, held last Saturday at the Ran-
cho Santa Ana Botanic Garden,

degree temperatures as well as slews of

like the walking dead and determined to
sabotage the runners efforts. To learn more

A young runner is startled by Claremont resident Ernie Garcia on Saturday during the Zombie Run at Rancho Santa Ana
Botanic Garden. Mr. Garcia was a scary sight indeed as he stood on the side of the path beating on a dummy with a stick.
A directional sign that is intended to be confusing is
part of the fun at the Claremont Zombie Run.

them into the palm of my hand. These
folds are made from various porcelain
clay bodies, each with a slightly differ-
ent hue. The memory of the clay reveals
the lines from my hand and records
the making of each intimate piece, Mr.
Bardsley said. The folds have become a
driving force for Mr. Bardsley and play
an integral part in his creations.

T
he South Hills Huskies kept mak-
ing runs and hits but the Lady
Wolfpacks only pitcher, junior
Chloe Amarilla, still attempted to stop
them Wednesday at South Hills High.
With no back-up pitcher available to help Amarilla,
the Huskies took advantage and ended the game at the
bottom of the fifth inning, winning 15-4. Head coach
Vincent Hernandez said their other pitcher, Rosalie
Keirns, was unable to attend because of schedule con-
flicts with her drama class.
Hernandez gave Amarilla much appreciation for re-
maining active in the entire game.
You have to give her credit, Coach Hernandez
said. We were hurting but she knew she had to keep
pitching.
Coach Hernandez also noted another problem.
After they gained the lead at the top of the third in-
ning, their defense was unable to stop the Huskies
surge as they earned eight runs at the bottom of the
inning for an 8-2 score.
There were some moments in the second inning
that startled the Huskies. It started with a successful
bunt by senior outfielder Alexis Solis, who went on
the third base after a Huskies error.
Amarilla scored their first run and continued to put
more players on base. However, the Huskies managed
to stop the rally by catching a pop fly from senior out-
fielder Melanie Lauer to end the inning.
Then it was the Lady Wolfpacks chance to shut
down the Huskies offense. Instantly, the ball was hit
directly to senior shortstop Anise Avalos and she
made a double-play, which helped close the second
inning, 1-0.
When that happens, I dont usually think about it,
Avalos said. Its just muscle memory.
Right when the third inning began, sophomore out-
fielder Camryn Texeiras responded quick in the first
pitch and hit a single-homerun, 2-0. Fans cheered as
the CHS seemed to have the game in control.
I had a hard drive, Texeira said. I just took the
opportunity and it worked.
Even after the Huskies surge, Texeira responded at
the top of the fourth and made a solid hit in center
field, earning two runs making it 8-4. However, the
Lady Wolfpack was not able to put more dents on the
Huskies defense.
We should have been smarter in the box (at bat),
Avalos said. Huskie Natalie Lugo made nine strike-
outs and her ERA was 2.80.
The Huskies scored another seven runs at the bot-
tom of the fourth making it 15-4, due to timely hitting
and walks.
Coach Hernandez said the Lady Wolfpack should
be able to have more assistance pitching in their next
away game at 3:30 p.m., Friday, against St. Lucys
Priory High School. Claremonts overall record is 6-
13-1 and 0-7 in the Sierra League.
CHS baseball gets trounced by hard-hitting Chino
Hills
Claremonts baseball team lost in a shutout, 17-0,
in their home game Wednesday against Chino Hills
High School.
The Huskies took control of the game in the second
inning, 7-0, and never stopped hitting, according to
athletic director Rick Dutton.
Geoff Ranney received notice last Sunday he
would no longer be coaching for CHS. He said an in-
terim coach, Ryan Roberts, was put in his place and a
new coach is still being determined.
The Wolfpack will face the Huskies in their next
away game at 3:30 p.m. on Friday at Chino Hills.

Claremont High School senior Melanie Lauer makes a big effort to catch a fly ball in the fourth inning of the
Packs game against South Hills on Wednesday in West Covina. The fourth inning was a tough one for the girls

South Hills, particularly in the third and fourth innings
where the huskies scored all of their 15 runs, for a fi-
nal score of 15-4.

Claremonts record is 3-20 overall and
2-7 in the Sierra League.

Strong play has volleyball
eyeing the postseason
The Wolfpack won three sets in their
home match against Hoover High
School on Tuesday, April 29. Head
coach Bernie Wendling said the play
started out sloppy, but his team was still
able to earn the big win.
The set results were 25-23, 25-18
and 25-15. Strong performances in-
cluded junior Donovan Robinsons 16
kills and senior Rory Medermotts 28
assists.
Senior Eran Bechor finished the
game with eight kills. Wendling said if
they win in their away match against
Arcadia High School, Thursday at 5
p.m., the Wolfpack will qualify for
postseason play.
Were hanging in there and were
hoping to make it to playoffs, Coach
Wendling said.
The Wolfpacks overall record is 12-
11 and their league record is 6-4.

Feeding our urban forest
by Mark von Wodtke, FASLA, and Ben Wise, PhD
T
rees. In addition to beauty and en-
hancing the value of property, trees
are essential for a comfortable and
healthy habitat. Properly feeding our
urban forest helps sustain well-being, not
just for us but for all living creatures.
When we spread poisons on soil and trees
we are poisoning ourselves and all other
creatures that contribute to the health of
our community ecosystem.
Here is what we should avoid, minimize, and use to
feed our urban forest:
Avoid the use of chemical herbicides. Monsantos
Roundup is widely used on GMO crops. Independent
studies are now finding health hazards in this applica-
tion. Roundup is also being used indiscriminately in
our landscape industry and by homeowners. Conse-
quently, we are ending up with high rates of application
right here in our urban forest.
Avoid chemical pesticides. This will reduce the risk
of damaging the urban forest ecosystem. For example,
scientific studies are finding that bees are being ad-
versely affected by pesticides and herbicides contain-
ing neonicotinoids. We must also avoid risks to human
health. There have been studies linking chemical her-
bicides and pesticides to cancers, hormone disruption,
and birth defects.
Avoid the use of growth regulators. Claremont cur-
rently applies the commercial growth regulator, Atrim-
mec, to mitigate fruit drop. According to the
Precautionary Statements accompanying this product,
these chemicals are not to be applied to water or to
areas where water is present. Do not contaminate
water when disposing of equipment washwater or rin-
sate. We must be forever conscious that we, including
young and old, live in our urban forest and drink water
that percolates through it. Growth regulators may also
weaken trees such as Liquidambars that are already
being subject to disease.
Minimize the use of chemical fertilizers in our urban
forest. Artificial fertilizers can alter the chemical bal-
ance in the soil in detrimental ways. Chemical fertiliz-
ers can also contaminate groundwater. For example,
we already have several high-nitrate wells in northern
Claremont, likely contaminated by the overuse of
chemical fertilizer by the citrus industry.
Use biochar as a soil amendment. Biochar is pro-
duced by heating plant waste anaerobically to 600 de-
grees Farenheit. Landscape crews can mix inoculated
biochar with soil when planting new trees and also in-
sert it into the soil under existing trees. Biochar in-
creases the soils capacity to hold water, reducing
irrigation needs. It also provides habitat for mychor-
rhizae and improves the soils capacity to retain nutri-
ents, reducing fertilization needs. Having healthier
trees that are resistant to disease reduces maintenance
costs. Biochar also sequesters carbon, keeping it out of
the atmosphere. (See www.biochar-international.org)
Also use biochar to filter storm water runoff from
pavements. This keeps pollution from going into storm
drain systems, impacting groundwater, streams and
beaches here in Southern California. Cities are now re-
quired to do this under new clean water regulations
(MS4) to deal with the pollution in runoff from pave-
ments and urban landscapes.
Compost litter from trees and shrubs. The heat from
decomposition (usually about 135-160 F.) naturally
controls many pathogens. Mix good quality compost
with biochar and work into the soil to retain moisture,
recycle nutrients, and provide beneficial microorgan-
isms that can inhibit disease and pests.
Make mulch from woodchips that come from prun-
ing healthy trees and shrubs. Mulch, which is not
heated to mitigate the transfer of pathogens, does help
retain soil moisture and control weeds when it is spread
around the base of trees and shrubs. Mulch will even-
tually decompose in the planting bed providing nutri-
ents to soil microorganisms which help sustain plants.
Use biological pest control. For example, ladybugs
eat aphids. There is a statewide Integrated Pest Man-
agement program that Claremont can become a part of.
(See www.IPM.UCDavis.edu/index.html.)
Sweep up litter and recycle green waste. Why
would we accept the risks of applying plant growth
regulators just to control the drop of seedpods from
Liquidambars or fruit from trees like olives? We can
easily sweep up debris or harvest fruit from our urban
forest. Groups such as Teen Green could take on this
task much like the volunteers who already do this at
Pilgrim Place. Green waste can be made into mulch,
compost, and biochar to feed to our urban forest. Fruit,
like olives, has many uses.
Use pyrolysis to decontaminate what is trimmed
from diseased trees and shrubs. This involves heating
green waste from diseased plants at temperatures in ex-
cess of 600 F without air, to prevent diseases from
spreading. Pyrolysis produces sterile biochar that can
safely be incorporated into the soil. Biochar can be
made from any biological material, which might other-
wise be carted off to the landfill.
Our judicial system makes the presumption of in-
nocent until proven guilty. When it comes to ecosys-
tems, however, it makes sense to presume that
chemical interventions are "harmful until proven be-
nign"
Act Now! Feed your trees properly and, as a com-
munity, lets adopt what Tree Action Group of Sustain-
able Claremont is proposing for the City Tree Policy
and Guidelines to make our urban forest healthier.

landscape architecture. Ben Wise, PhD, is a professor
emeritus of microbiology.

POTENTIALBIDDERS: If you are considering
bidding on this property lien, you should under-
stand 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 bid-
der at the auction, you are or may be responsible
for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auc-
tioned off, before you can receive clear title to the
property. You are encouraged to investigate the ex-
istence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that
may exist on this property by contacting the county
recorders office or a title insurance company, ei-
ther of which may charge you a fee for this infor-
mation. 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 re-
quires that information about trustee sale post-
ponements 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
trustees sale or visit this Internet Web site

ber assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee:
CA-13-541289-VF . Information about postpone-
ments that are very short in duration or that occur
close in time to the scheduled sale may not imme-
diately be reflected in the telephone information or
on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify
postponement information is to attend the sched-
uled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any
liability for any incorrectness of the property ad-
dress or other common designation, if any, shown
herein. If no street address or other common des-
ignation is shown, directions to the location of the
property may be obtained by sending a written re-
quest to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date
of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the
Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason,
the successful bidder's sole and exclusive rem-
edy 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 enti-
tled only to a return of the deposit paid. The
Purchaser shall have no further recourse
against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the
Mortgagees Attorney. If you have previously
been discharged through bankruptcy, you may
have been released of personal liability for this

creditor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to the per-
sonal representative appointed by the court
within the later of either (1) four months from
the date of first issuance of letters to a general

days from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under section 9052 of

may affect your rights as a creditor. You may
want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable
in California law.

court. If you are a person interested in the es-
tate, you may file with the court a Request for
Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of

any petition or account as provided in Probate
Code section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

DERS: If you are considering bidding on this prop-
erty 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. Plac-
ing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not au-
tomatically 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 out-
standing liens that may exist on this property by
contacting the county recorders office or a title in-
surance 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

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 in-
formation or on he Internet Web site. The best way
to verify postponement information is to attend the

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 high-
est bid at a trustee auction does not automatically en-
title you to free and clear ownership of the property.
You should also be aware that the lien being auc-
tioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the high-
est 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 infor-
mation. 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.
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 Califor-
nia 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

ble, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of

COGNITIVE AND SOCIAL STIMULATION
KEY FACTORS TO HEALTHY AGING
R
ecent statistics on aging
show that as many as 45
percent of seniors are di-
vorced, separated or widowed,
leaving many to live alone. In
addition to these statistics,
AARP reports, that nearly 90
percent of seniors want to age in
place. These findings are impor-
tant because older people who
live alone are particularly vul-
nerable to social isolation and
loneliness due to the loss of
friends and family, of mobility
and/or loss of income. With so-
cial isolation and loneliness
come a myriad of health issues.
Studies have shown a direct
correlation between loneliness
and disability, cognitive ability,
cancer, higher blood pressure,
stroke and heart disease. A recent study by John Capioppo, Director for the Center for Cog-
nitive and Social Neuroscience at the University of Chicago, reveals that older people who
are extremely lonely or socially isolated often demonstrate genuine traumatic effects, in-
creasing their chance of premature death by 14 percent.
In addition to physical activity, regular cognitive and social stimulation are key factors to pro-
longing your health. Engaging your brain in activities such as reading, playing board games,
learning a new language, playing a musical instrument or even dancing can improve your cog-
nitive health. Having social connections, whether it is through volunteerism, being active in
your church, joining a group based on activities you enjoy (such as playing cards or joining a
book club); or making visits to your local senior center can improve your health and improve
your chances of longevity. Social activities like these can reduce your risk for Alzheimers dis-
ease, depression, lower blood pressure, osteoporsis and other health conditions.
The City of Claremont has been rated #2 by Huffington Post as one of the great College
communities in which to retire because of the many great senior services offered to their
residents. The Pomona Colleges offers classes to those over the age of 60 which may be
audited at no charge. REAL Connections, a membership program of the non-profit Com-
munity Senior Services, offers transportation services to residents who are no longer able to
drive. REAL Connections aslo provides weekly and monthly senior outings, such as potlucks,
poker and karaokee nights. The Claremont Joslyn Center offers great classes that include
walking & biking clubs. If you are looking for a great service organization to volunteer your
time and give back to the community, there is Claremont Sunrise Rotary Club. For those
seniors who are homebound, Claremont has a great group of volunteers through Commu-
nity Senior Services who visit and to check in on those who cannot get out. There is some-
thing for just about everyone. For more information regarding the full range of senior services
in the area, check out the City of Claremont website, ci.claremont.ca.us and click social sup-
port groups or communityseniorservices.org. If you are new to the area or are a boomer
wishing to downsize to one of the beautiful retirement communities in Claremont, please con-
tact me! I willl pave the way for your smooth transition into the Claremont Community.
