Remembering Harrison Stephens

Dear Editor:
It was with great sadness that my wife,
Rochelle, and I read of the death of Harrison Stephens. When we moved into
our home on Bridgeport Avenue in 1972,
the first people who welcomed us were
our next door neighbors, Steve and his
wife Doris. As long as they were living
there, they were most friendly, courteous
and helpful. I remember on some nights
hearing Steve and friends riffing and
playing informal gigs in his living room
or on the patio in their backyard.
Steve and Doris moved in 1997 to a
condominium north of Griswolds Old
School House and about 10 years later to
Claremont Manor. Rochelle and I kept in
touch with the Stephens regularly if not
often. We will never forget them.

Pomona College museum

Dear Editor:
The Pomona College Master Plan proposaland EIR justificationof demolishing the residential bungalows on the
corner of College and Bonita avenues
and replacing them with an up to 32,000square-foot art museum, if passed, will
result in a negative and irreversible impact to the Village and College Avenue.
The impact to the College Avenue residential-scale streetscape and the Village
itself is not acknowledged in the EIR,
and no alternative sites have been adequately explored. No impacts regarding
scale, traffic, parking needs or loading
docks facing the Village have been addressed.
Also, the Thatcher music building is
planned for demolition and, while listed
as a significant building, the proposed
mitigation plan is inadequate.
ADVENTURES
IN HAIKU
It is too easy to be sidetracked by the

verbal promises of a well-designed museum even when the benefit to the city is
not specified, nor the negative impacts
acknowledged, in the documents. The
mass and scale will be determined by the
allowed square footage and requirements
of a museum building.
If this plan is passed, the actual design
will be a moot point at the Architectural
Commission level.
Pomona College should be required to
explore alternative plans regarding
Thatcher and the proposed museum. For
example, Thatcher could be expanded to
the area where Montgomery is proposed
for demolition and the new art museum
could be placed at the northeast corner of
First Street and College Avenue.
Harrison Stephens,
Your haiku will be missed.

Water restrictions
Dear Editor:
As mandatory water restrictions go
into effect, we should all realize that this
is pure political grandstanding on the
state governments part. Why, you ask?
Just look at the numbers.
Of the usable water in California, 50
percent goes for environmental purposes
(maintaining river/stream flow to maintain habitats, keeping the delta from getting salty, etc.) and 40 percent is used by
agriculture, leaving 10 precent for
urban uses.
Environmental uses arent being restricted. To do so would be political suicide, because the environmental lobbies
would be all over it. The agricultural
business has lobbyists and incredible political clout, so they cant be touched.
That leaves the last 10 percent to be hit
with draconian restrictions, such as
Claremonts 32 precent reduction.
Thursday, May 28
CUSD Board of Education
Kirkendall Center, 7 p.m.
If all the urban users were to reduce

consumption by 32 percent, this would
result in only a 3.2 percent reduction
overall. I doubt that all such users will be
restricted (cant restrict industry that uses
water, they have lobbyists in Sacramento
also).
So, as we all sit and watch our yards
and general environment turn dead and
brown, be aware that it will only reduce
California water use by a percent or
two.....effectively having little if any impact on mitigating the drought.

EDUCATION
El Roble students cradle high-tech teaching tools
group of students at El
Roble Intermediate
School will soon be
playing with their new dolls.
No, its not one last childhood
hurrah before they plunge into
the teenage years. Its a lesson
on how tough it is to care for
an infant, intended to impress
upon the 8th graders that teen
pregnancy is no game.
Later this month, five of Debbie Fosters physical education students will
take home some high-tech babies,
ready to report on whether they are
being properly cared for.
The kids took care of less advanced
dolls earlier this semester for 72 grueling hours as part of Ms. Fosters Baby,
Think It Over program. They have
volunteered to test drive half of 10 new
babies Ms. Foster recently purchased
from the Realityworks company. The
RealCare dolls will be linked to computers in the PE office loaded with software determining whether they are
nurturing or neglectful parents.
The state-of-the-art teaching tools
can monitor whether their young
guardians are supporting their neck
properly, regularly changing their diapers and clothes and feeding and burping them on cue. They can also detect
whether kids show abusive behavior,
registering, for instance, if the doll falls
victim to shaken baby syndrome.
Knowing that some of his friends can
be rowdy at times, Joseph Ramos was
thoughtful in choosing a babysitter
when he went to see a movie. I actually knew it was going to be important,
so I chose my close friend Maxine, he
said.
The most daunting part of caring for
the teaching toys is the crying spells
they are programmed to have every
three hours or so. The youngsters must
pick them up and soothe them, even in
the dead of night.
I had to get up in the middle of the
night and rock the doll for 45 minutes. I
almost had back pain, eighth grader
Charlotte Stradley reported.
Her classmate Morgan Hughes did a
good job getting the baby back to
sleep most times, but says she had one
little abuse. Once when she was tired
she failed to hold the dolls neck properly, which was duly noted by the computer system.
The crying is likely why few hands
were raised when Ms. Foster was looking for volunteers to try out the next
generation of dolls.
Most of them didnt want to do the
test drive. The experience was so horrific, they had no interest, Ms. Foster
said, laughing.
Indeed, Destiny Cazares found parenthood a bit unsettling at times.
Its sort of hard to explain. The doll
looked real but fake at the same time,
she said. It woke me up crying and I

Computers inside the dolls record everything they go through, both negative and positive, so that the students can get feedback on how well they cared for the simulated infant.
would look at it, half-asleep, and it

would be staring at me.
Other challenges students encountered will sound familiar to parents
everywhere. It felt like a struggle to get
out of the house, having to lug a kid,
car seat and baby bag. A few of the students noted that they had turned down
invitations to outings and parties because they were on assignment with
their dolls. Others said they went ahead
and took their baby to parties, movies,
sporting events and even church, only
to have the artificial infant begin
screaming in the middle of it all.
And then there were the reactions of
others to worry about. People would
look at me and they didnt know if I

was playing with a doll or had a kid and
which was worse, Morgan said.
Carly McKay said it was kind of
cute, driving around with her mom and
seeing the baby doll secured in the
backseat next to her real-life baby sister, who is almost two. With two babies
in two car seats, the back seat looked
really full.
Having the dolls come home was
even a wakeup call for parents, Ms.
Foster said. Ive had some parents say,
It was an interesting experience. Im
not ready to be a grandmother.
The technology they demonstrate
doesnt come cheap, with the simulated
tots costing $1,000 each. Luckily, Rotary of Claremont stepped in with a

$10,000 grant to help El Roble foot the
bill.
The Rotarians learned Ms. Foster
was in need of replacements for her
aging dollssome of which are 20
years oldwhen they came to the local
middle school to instruct 8th graders on
disaster preparedness, first aid and
CPR. Members of the service club
asked some questions and learned how
impactful, as well as pricey, the infants
are.
Ms. Foster was delighted to attend
when Rotary of Claremont invited her
to a luncheon to thank her for helping
with the CPR unit for the last 25 years.
She was floored when the group surprised her with a $10,000 upgrade.
I couldnt believe it. It was out of
the air, she said. I looked like I had
won the lottery.
Ms. Foster hopes to have 350 students take home dolls next year as part
of the Baby, Think It Over program.
She is hugely grateful to the Rotary
Club of Claremont, which was honored
at the last school board meeting for its
continued support of the Claremont
Unified School District.
I dont think its any too young to
start caring for somethingto understand the responsibility of caring for a
human being, Ms. Foster said. It may
feel more realistic in high school, when
more students are dating, but its none
too early.

CHS instructional aide arrested for sexual relationship with student
or the third time this school year, a

female employee of the Claremont
Unified School District has been arrested for involvement in a sexual relationship with a teenage student.
Brandy Wilborn, 38, who is accused of unlawful sex

with a 16-year-old male student from CHS, was arrested
in the principals office at about 12:30 p.m. on Friday,
May 8.
According to Lieutenant Mike Ciszek, police had previously visited the high school on a tip that Ms. Wilborn
was involved in an inappropriate relationship with a student.
Nothing could be proven at that time, Lt. Ciszek explained. But additional information came forward that
led us to new evidence and the arrest was made.
According to an email sent out by Principal Brett
OConnor to CHS families, the investigation had gone
on for about a month.

District administration worked closely with Claremont
PD during its four-week investigation culminating in the
arrest, Mr. OConnor wrote.
Lt. Ciszek said that cell phone records were collected
by the police department.
Ms. Wilborn worked as an aide in the high school's
special education department, although it is unknown if
the student involved was in one of her classes. Her Facebook page lists her occupation as paraeducator. She
previously worked with younger students in the district,
as evidenced by an August 24, 2013 Facebook post
where she expressed nervousness about starting work at
CHS in the fall.
According to Ms. Wilborns Facebook page, she attended CHS from 1990 to 1994 and was hired by CUSD
in 2009, the same year as Vanessa Tinoco, the CHS cafeteria worker who also had a sexual relationship with a
student. From 2006 to 2011, CUSD went through three
superintendentsDavid Cash from 2006 to July of 2009,
Terry Nichols from June 2009 to February 2011, and interim superintendent Gloria Johnston, who left at the end
of the 2012 school year. According to CUSD meeting
mintues, both Ms. Wilborn and Ms. Tinoco were hired
under Mr. Nichols tenure.
Police believe that the sexual activity took place off
campus and that no impropriety occurred at CHS. Also,
police do not believe there are any additional victims, Lt.
Ciszek said.
Mr. OConnor assured families that inappropriate conduct by adults involving CHS students would not be tolerated.
The school district immediately placed the employee
on unpaid administrative leave pending the outcome of
the case and she will not be returning to the school, Mr.
OConnor wrote.
Ms. Wilborn posted $50,000 bail on Friday night. She
was scheduled to appear in the Pomona Court this week.

Date farmer sentenced to life without parole for assault

oseph Chandler Davall, the
Coachella Valley man convicted of attacking and raping a 12-year-old Claremont girl
as she slept in her home, was
sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
On April 10, a jury found the 35-yearold date farmer guilty of seven felony
counts including two counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child and one
count each of forcible rape; sexual penetration by foreign object, assault to commit a felony during the commission of
first-degree burglary; first-degree burglary, person present; and making criminal threats.
Dressed in a blue jumpsuit and handcuffed, Mr. Davall was escorted into the
Pomona courtroom and seated at the table

with public defender Mitra Donde and
Deputy District Attorney Babette Huley,
where he bounced in his chair until court
was in session. He remained somber in
his seat, with his head down, glancing
back periodically to see who was in attendance at the hearing.
Members of the Claremont Police Departments detective bureau, as well as
the grandparents and father of the victim,
were present in the courtroom as Judge
Juan Carlos Dominguez took to the
bench to begin Mr. Davalls sentencing.
The victims grandfather asked to address the court, thanking the judge for his
knowledge of the law and Ms. Huley for
prosecuting the case. To Ms. Donde he
said, Your professionalism is honorable.
You read the charges, studied the facts
and in your heart Im sure you saw no

A visit to a south Claremont Starbucks
cost one woman more than the price of a
skinny mocha. The female victim parked
her black Chevy Cruiser in the east parking lot of the coffee shop located on the
800 block of South Indian Hill Boulevard at around 8:30 p.m. and left her
purse in the car. When she returned to her
vehicle 10 minutes later, the rear drivers
side window was busted out and her
handbag was gone. The unknown thief
made off with the victims Coach wallet,
drivers license, social security card,
checkbook and two Disneyland passes.

A Claremont driver making an unsafe
move across Base Line Road struck a
man riding his bike around 2 p.m. According to Lieutenant Mike Ciszek, the
42-year-old Upland bicyclist was traveling east on Base Line Road in the bike
lane. The driver of a Toyota Camry was
traveling south on Aquinas Avenue and
drove across all lanes of traffic on Base
Line so she could pull into the Vons

shopping center. The 67-year-old driver
failed to yield to the cyclist, who collided
with the passenger side of her vehicle.
The victim was transported to San Antonio Regional Hospital for pain to his left
pinky finger and a cut on his left elbow.

A traffic collision in the parking lot of
Blaisdell Park resulted in the arrest of a
woman for DUI. Around 5 p.m., officers
responded to the scene after the victim in
the collision identified the vehicle involved as a gray 2006 Nissan Maxima
parked in the lot. Police located the vehicle and made contact with the driver,
Valerie Robertson, who was seated in the
car, wearing a seatbelt with an empty Old
English beer can in the center console
beside her. Further investigation revealed
the Nissan had been reported stolen by
the Los Angeles Police Department three
weeks ago. The victim of the stolen car
told police Ms. Robertson had taken the
car and hed tried to get her to return it
but she refused. Claremont police deter-
He then turned his attention to Mr.

Davall.
You never took anyones advice to
follow the laws. Your remaining days are
in a frying pan, facing fire for eternity,
he said in open court. We will help Jane
Doe to have a pleasant life, so that the
guilt and shame of the evil is not a lifelong burden for her.
Before Judge Dominguez handed
down his sentence, Mr. Davall made a futile attempt to declare a mistrial, filing a
handwritten motion on notebook paper.
The judge denied his request. A subsequent motion was also filed, requesting a
competency hearing for his public defender. It was a last-ditch effort by Mr.
Davall to get a new trial before the judge
issued his sentence.
Is your intent to hire an attorney? the
judge asked, to which Mr, Davall replied,
No.
Judge Dominguez denied the request

and proceeded with sentencing, giving
the convicted rapist 11 years plus life in
prison without the possibility of parole
for his crimes. Hes also ordered to pay
$2,000 plus 10 percent to the victims
restitution fund and $400 to the victims
father for relocation expenses. Mr. Davall
must also submit to AIDS testing and
register as a sex offender for life.
We feel justice has been served, Ms.
Huley told the COURIER. The hard
part remains for Jane Doe. Shes left to
deal with what happened to her and nobody, particularly a child, should have to
go through what she did.
On March 21, 2014, Mr. Davall broke
into the Claremont home of Jane Doe
and sexually assaulted the 12-year-old
girl, who was in bed asleep. She continuously fought her attacker and after the

A Pomona resident who was evading

driver. According to Lt. Mike Ciszek,
Claremont police attempted to stop the
driver of a stolen 2014 silver Mercedes
E350 heading south on Towne Avenue
around 11 p.m. for driving without illuminated headlights. The driver, Michael
Gardner, accelerated and fled west on
Arrow Highway. Due to wet roads and
the suspects high rate of speed, the officer did not pursue the driver. Mr. Gardners vehicle collided with a silver
Honda in Pomona, killing the 32-yearold female behind the wheel. The 37year-old suspect fled on foot and was
later apprehended. Witnesses identified
Mr. Gardner as the driver of the stolen

A Pomona resident who had been released from the Claremont jail was arrested shortly thereafter following an
assault. Around 1:30 p.m., the victim and
his 14-year-old son were driving west on
Bonita Avenue when Mark Yarbrough
threw a 9-by-6-inch piece of concrete at
the victims car. The victim was forced
to accelerate and drive on the wrong side
of the road in order to avoid the concrete
hitting the passenger-side windshield,
where his son was seated. The 10-pound
piece of concrete struck the rear quarter
panel on the passenger side and rear taillight on the vehicle. Officers located Mr.
Yarborough, who was later identified by
the victim as the suspect. Mr. Yarbrough,
47, was arrested for assault with a deadly
weapon and throwing an object at a vehicle. He had been arrested by CPD for
an outstanding warrant and released just
two hours before committing the assault.
He remains in custody in downtown Los

Residents concerned about College

Avenue pedestrian tunnel hours
he hours for the pedestrian

underpass tunnel located at
south College Avenue and
the I-10 freeway will remain unchanged, following a unanimous
vote from city council on Tuesday.
Equipped with gates on each side, the tunnel

provides for pedestrian access under the freeway, eliminating the need for pedestrians to
walk to Indian Hill Boulevard or Mills Avenue
to cross the freeway.
The gates were installed in 2006 in response to resident concerns regarding unwanted activity in the underpass and are man-
ually locked and unlocked daily, seven days a

week, by a custodial service contracted by the
city.
The current gate hours were established in
Spring 2013 and were challenged in December 2014 after the city received a petition
with 21 signatures from nearby residents requesting that the city revert to the original
tunnel hours of 6 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday
through Friday, and closing the tunnel entirely on the weekends, citing safety concerns. A neighborhood forum held at Blaisdell Senior Center in January 2015 resulted in
council members and city staff agreeing they
would review the hours.

Stages of life at and out of the Colleges

by John Pixley
sually, when I buy a ticket, I feel

happy. I feel excited. I feel lucky
and privileged that I get to see the
performance. I might feel relieved that I
managed to snag the ticket. I dont usually
feel sad, like I want to weep.
But it was different a few weeks ago when I went to
Pomona College to buy a ticket for the year-end dance
concert there. It was different, because when I was at
the box office window, I saw Betty Bernhard. That is, I
saw her name. It was on one of the production posters
that line the back of the box office. Directed by Betty
Bernhard. Actually, it was on a number of the posters,
but seeing one was enough to make me feel like weeping.
I guess it really hit me then: There will be no more
new production posters, at Pomona College or anywhere else, with her name on it.
It was hard enough when I went to see a production
at Seaver Theater last month and saw a notice in the
program honoring her. Not only was such a notice unusual, it said that she is survived by a daughter and
two grandchildren and a sister. It didnt make sense that
Betty Bernhard had died. I had just seen a wonderful
production of Sarah Ruhls sophisticated, Victorian-era
sex comedy, In the Next Room (or the vibrator play),
directed by her a month earlier. A friend who I saw
there had mentioned the possibility of working on a
project with her.
Then, a week later, there was an obituary in the
COURIER. It was there that I read that she succumbed
to brain cancer, a month after being diagnosed with it.
Was she still working on the play when she was sick,
perhaps knowing she was dying? I wondered.
I later learned that she had to stop working not long
after rehearsals began but not before she had chosen
the cast and set the scene, so to speak. This is but more
evidence of her strength and sense of purpose, her
good will and generosity of spirit and her passionate
love for the art form that the program notice mentioned. It certainly was evident in all her work directing plays at Pomona College, where she joined the theater department in 1984. She was clearly passionate
about theater and helping Claremont Colleges students
observer
develop their skills, as she directed over 30 full-length
plays and musicals, including a stunning, remarkably
crisp Hamlet and some of which reflected her deep interest in Indian Sanskrit theater.
It was not only at Pomona College and in the theater
where Betty Bernhard worked during these years. A
year and a half ago, I wrote about seeing a documentary film that she made, Out! Loud!, about people in
the gay, lesbian bisexual and transgender community in
India performing a play. She also made other documentary films in India about sex workers doing theater
work and women theater artists.
As a Fullbright Scholar in India in 1993 and 2004,
she directed three full-length plays there and, last
month, she was named a Founding Mother of Asian
Theater Scholarship by the Association of Asian Performance. Championing theater by, for and about
women, minorities and other under-represented group
was key in this lifes work.
The sudden loss of this work and the riches it
brought is indeed sad. But, as those posters with her
name on them also show, Betty Bernhards work and
that still being done by her colleagues is at least as inspiring, leaving us with hope and things to look forward to.
That much was clear at a panel discussion held in
Betty Bernhards memory at Seaver Theater on a recent
Friday afternoon. The presentation was put on by
Claremont in Entertainment and Media, a group of
graduates from the Claremont Colleges who are working in the entertainment field.
Who knew there was this alumni group made up of
actors, producers, writers, studio executives, agents,
casting directors and other professionals? I didnt, and I
was pretty excited to find out about it.
The panel alone was exciting enough. I didnt find
out about it until that afternoon, and what drew me
clearly, the big drawwas Richard Chamberlain, the
king of the miniseries, who I learned long ago was a

graduate of Pomona College. Others on the panel included Matt Baer, a Pitzer College graduate who produced last years Unbroken and the recently released
Maggie, and Elizabeth Levitt Hirsch, a Scripps College
graduate who is now board president of the Levitt
Pavilions. (This organization puts on free summer concerts, including in Pasadena and Los Angeles, as well
as three a year at Scripps College.)
Perhaps the most intriguing member on the panel
was Gregory Rae, a computer science major at Harvey
Mudd College, who ended up being a two-time Tony
Award-winning producer whose credits include The
Normal Heart and Clybourne Park, as well being a
gay activist. As I said, who knew?
It was fun hearing how these people were influenced
by their days in Claremont. For example, Mr. Chamberlain said he always loved movies but was shy and
awkward until encouraged to get on the stage at
Pomona and then, before he knew it, was not only
working as an actor but was famous, starring in Dr.
Kildare not long after graduating. Mr. Rae shared that
being a RA in the dorm was not unlike putting together
a Broadway show.
Even more remarkable is that I didnt know about
this panel discussion until earlier that afternoon when I
attended another presentation at Seaver Theater. This
one featured Mary Schmich, a Pomona College graduate who wrote the Brenda Starr comic strip for 25 years
and is a Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist for the
Chicago Tribune, famous for her Wear Sunscreen
column. As she mentioned in answering questions, she
doesnt know and isnt too concerned about how the
column ended up being attributed to Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.,
and she wrote it in an afternoon before deadline when
she couldnt think of what to write about.
I wished I had known that earlier in the day in
Seaver Theater, James Turrell, the world-renowned
artist who does fascinating work with light and is a
Pomona College graduate, was in conversation with Ed
Krupp, a fellow alum who is the charismatic director of
the Griffith Observatory.
This is all quite a bounty, quite a legacy, among
many such as the Colleges close out another year and
also say goodbye to a gifted teacher, artist and mentor.
You might get a

waiver to another
baseball team but
Im sure you cant
waiver your
mother and father.
Update the Feasibility Study

Dear Editor:
The results of the November Measure W plebiscite clearly demonstrated
that there is a strong sentiment that the
city should pursue the acquisition of the
water system. Even so, the city has the
obligation to apprise residents of changes
in circumstances which materially affect
the costs and risks that may be imposed
on us.
The citys feasibility study assumes
that Claremonts water consumption will
increase by 0.41 percent annually over
the next 30 years. However, we now
know that it will actually decrease by approximately 30 percent this year, and it
is likely that the conservation measures
necessary to meet mandatory targets will
result in a significant permanent reduction in water consumption.
As the residents of every city in California are about to find out, lower water
usage will cause an immediate and substantial increase in water rates. This is
true for two reasons: first, because higher
rates are necessary to constrain demand
and second, because total system revenue must be maintained at a high
enough level to cover fixed costs.
In the event that Claremont issues revenue bonds to finance the acquisition of
the water system, we may be particularly
hard hit. Our fixed costs (which include
the principal and interest on the debt)
will make up an uncommonly large percentage of the total cost to operate the
system. And, as the repayment of the
bonds must come from a more constricted revenue stream, potential investors are likely to demand higher
interest rates to compensate for the risk.
At this point it may be premature to
reach any definite conclusions as to the
continuing viability of the acquisition effort, but it is surely not too early to assess the impact of a long-term decrease
in water consumption.
As a first step in that process, the city
should ask its consultants to prepare alternate versions of the feasibility study at
various levels of projected consumption,
including a permanent reduction of 30
percent or more. As this would involve a
very minor change to the input data, and
as the study is already in the form of a
READERS COMMENTS
spreadsheet, this information can be

made available to the city manager, the
council and the public almost immediately. Of course, it will also be prudent
to conduct a more thorough analysis that
carefully considers all of the relevant factors.
It now appears that the city will have
to prepare a new purchase offer and approve an amended resolution of necessity, making this an opportune time to
re-evaluate the cost projections in light
of the best available information. I urge
the city to do so.

Claremont
event was to be held. Concerns were expressed about possible damage to the artificial turf where the overflow attendees
would have been seated. If damage occurred, the taxpayers would have to pay
for it.
If the fireworks are cancelled, people
living in the vicinity of the high school
will not have to evacuate their dogs on
clogged streets to avoid their pets being
traumatized. And frail people living in
the neighborhood will not be disturbed
by loud explosions close to their homes.
Those are reasons enough, in my opinion.
Allan Wicker
Claremont
CHS not a good fireworks venue

Dear Editor:
I am grateful that the Claremont Unified School District backed out of its tentative agreement to host the Claremont
Independence Day fireworks display at
the high school. There are other compelling reasons to cancel besides the
stated concern for olive trees on the
schools perimeter, however.
Pomona College declined to host the
event to save water needed to protect its
premises from possible flare-ups.
By cancelling the fireworks, the city
council would symbolically acknowledge the severity of our drought and act
in accord with the stringent Level 2
water restrictions they properly imposed.
Independence Day can be commemorated in ways more consistent with its
true meaning, such as the Speakers Corner where citizens can practice free
speech by addressing controversial local
and national issues.
Another reason for not holding the
fireworks at the high school is that on the
other side of the fence from the proposed
ignition area is a 54-unit residential community. Other homes on Oxford Avenue
are nearby. Their lawns are also dry. Why
unnecessarily risk a conflagration?
According to the May 7 COURIER
story that announced the Claremont High
venue, there could have been 4000 attendees. That is 1300 more than the 2700
capacity of the stadium where the
Gold Line meeting inaccessible

Dear Editor:
Im disappointed that I was unable to
attend the Foothill Gold Line Community open house in Claremont last month.
I do not own a car and rely on public
transportation to get around. I am upset
by the fact that every other community
open house was at a location within one
block of public transportation but Claremonts was not. Claremonts open house
was almost a mile away from the closest
bus stop.
Metro should be well aware that lowincome citizens use public transportation
at higher rates than high-income citizens.
By making this meeting harder to access
via public transport, they are making it
harder (if not impossible) for a particular
part of the community to participate and
have their voices heard.
Claremont is a rich city that has several places within reasonable distances
from public transportation where this

event could have been held. I hope that in
the future. the Metro Foothill Extension
Construction Authority considers the
proximity of its event venues to public
transportation.
Every member of our community has
the right to participate in community
events and have their voices heard, especially on subjects that will affect them
more than most other members of said
community.

A successful film festival

Dear Editor:
On behalf of Claremont Community
College, I wish to thank your readers for
their support of our seventh annual Claremont 5 Second Film Festival. This years
show included not only an evening of
world-class films but also a night celebrating the influence of music.
We were honored with the presence of
Hobart Earle the conductor of Odessa
Philharmonic Orchestra whose flash mob
video Peace and Brotherhood was featured in the show. We wish to thank the
Scripps College Music Faculty and the
Los Angeles Philharmonic for making
Maestro Earles week in southern California memorable.
Last year, the proceeds of the festival
helped us provide 100 new guitars to 100
deserving children. This year, we will
again transform the lives of young people!

Claremont Community College
Superintendent addresses recent staff misconduct

by Jim Elsasser, EdD, CUSD Superintendent of Schools
eeping children safe at school is

of the utmost importance for the
Claremont Unified School District. We work diligently to maintain safe
schools by having policies, procedures,
and practices in place to hire and annually
train and supervise our staff on appropriate behaviors and interactions with students.
Our standards and expectations for personal and
professional conduct are clear and unambiguous.
There are over 800 dedicated teachers, support staff
and administrators in CUSD. Each day, they comply
with those policies and perform their jobs with true
professionalism while being held to the highest ethical standards.
That is why we are deeply saddened and very disappointed that in recent months, two individuals at
Claremont High School and one individual at San Antonio High School have allegedly engaged in isolated,
inappropriate sexual relationships with students in violation of the law and our district policies. We take
VIEWPOINT
these allegations of misconduct very seriously. In

each instance, once we became aware of the allegations, we took decisive and immediate action to place
the employees on administrative leave and remove
them from their school sites.
District and school site administrators cooperated
very closely with the Claremont Police Department
throughout the investigations. As far as we know, the
alleged incidents all occurred off campus outside of
the regular school day.
During the police investigations and ongoing legal
proceedings of these cases, the district is required to
comply with state due process and privacy laws for
everyone involved. As a result, we cannot publically
discuss the details of employee or student records,
disciplinary actions or other confidential personnel information.
The districts extensive hiring practices include the
required Department of Justice and FBI fingerprinting
and district background and reference check protocols. Anyone failing district background and refer-
ence checks, and/or with a criminal history related to

child abuse, is denied employment.
Additionally, every CUSD employee must participate in annual training on child abuse and sexual harassment. In these annual trainings, employees are
informed of their responsibility as mandated reporters
to report suspected misconduct or abuse and are apprised of the consequences of misconduct involving
children. Employee attendance at these trainings is
tracked, and anyone failing to comply is placed on
leave until they complete the preventative training.
Principals and other school leaders follow practices
that encourage people to come forward in confidence
if they have suspicions about possible inappropriate
conduct. Our site and district leaders investigate each
allegation to determine if there is evidence of unlawful misconduct or a violation of board policies. Staff
is required to immediately report the allegation and/or
violation to law enforcement or Child Protective
Services.
The professional misconduct and actions of a few
individuals should not detract from Claremont Unified School Districts well-deserved reputation as a
safe, caring and highly successful district. The Claremont community can take pride in its many successes. In CUSD, we will continue to make student
safety our highest priority, and ensure that the student
experience in our schools is positive and productive.
On behalf of the board of education, I want to
thank the entire Claremont community for its continual support of our districts students and schools.

Jeanette Turner
OBITUARIES
Teacher, adventurer, doting grandmother

Jeanette G. Turner, a Claremont resident for 62 years, died on May 11, 2015
at the age of 94.
She taught first grade at Sycamore Elementary School in Claremont in 1953
and then transferred to Mt. San Antonio
College for the balance of her professional career, retiring in 1980. While at
Mt. SAC, she taught English and chaired
the speech department. Her schooling included a bachelors degree from
Brigham Young University at Provo,
Utah and a masters degree from Stanford University in speech therapy.
Jeanette met George Cleve Turner
in 1952 while teaching at what is now
Eastern Washington State University
near Spokane, Washington. They were
married in 1953 and remained so until
her death. Their marriage was a loving,
happy and adventurous one. They had an
airplane for more than 20 years, spending more than 2,000 hours of flying time
navigating much of the United States,
Canada and Mexico. The Turners took
many flights to visit their son and his
family near San Jose, seldom missing
their grandchildrens birthdays. When
their grandkids got older, they had the
privilege of picking somewhere to fly
with Grandma Jeanette and Grandpa
Cleve, enjoying, for instance, a day trip
to Hearst Castle in San Simeon.
Because transportation was limited in

many of the remote landing strips they
visited, Mr. and Mrs. Turner bought and
modified a Honda 90 motorcycle by
sawing it into pieces small enough to fit
in the backseat of their plane and thus
saw the countryside more intimately.
They also spent a half-year traveling
around the world after Cleve lectured at
various colleges and universities in Australia. This was a highlight of their many
adventures during their loving life together.

Jeanette met and married her first husband, Robert Cranmer, while attending
BYU. Robert was killed as a P-38 pilot
in France during WWII. She had one
child, Roger Cranmer, who graduated
from Claremont High School in 1962.
Incidentally, his high school biology
teacher was his father, Cleve Turner.
Roger was an only child but fathered
seven children, making his mother and
father very happy. These children live in
California, Arizona, Utah, Idaho and
Texas.
Mrs. Turner was a wonderful cook,
known for her lemon meringue pie. She
was also a voracious reader, with her
chosen genres ranging from mysteries to
history. She loved classical music and
was president of the local chapter of the
Los Angeles Philharmonic. She was also
a member of a ladies golf club that met
regularly to enjoy the Claremont Golf
Course until its closure last year.
Mr. and Mrs. Turner lived on Harvard

Avenue in Claremont for 48 years, moving to the Mt. San Antonio Gardens in
Claremont in 2002. She was much loved
by the residents at MSAG and will be
missed by all.
Mrs. Turner is survived by her husband George, by her son Roger and by
her grandchildren, Jennifer Fitzgerald
and her husband Steve, Jillisa Cranmer,
Brent Cranmer and his wife Keri, Maren
Davison and her husband Bryan, Bryce
Cranmer and his wife Stacy, Megan
Cranmer and Matt Cranmer. She also
leaves 16 great-grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held Saturday, May 23 at 10 a.m. at The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Baseline Road in Claremont. Mrs. Turner will
be buried at Riverside National Cemetery.
A memorial service will be held on
Sunday, May 24 at 3 p.m. in the Gallery
at Mt. San Antonio Gardens for residents.
John Harry
John W. Harry, who lived in Claremont for many years before moving to
Las Vegas, Nevada, died on May 5,
2015. He was 76.
He will be buried on Saturday, May
23 at 11 a.m. at Bellevue Memorial
Park, 140 W. G St. in Ontario. Services
will be held earlier in the day from 9 to
10:30 a.m. at Draper Mortuary, 811 N.
Mountain Ave. in Ontario.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests
donations be made to the National Kidney Foundation, 30 E. 33rd St., New
York, NY 10016. For information, visit

A full account of Mr. Harrys life will
be provided in a further edition of the
COURIER.
Lewis Ellenhorn
10
OBITUARIES
Pitzer professor, musician, organizational psychologist

Lewis Jerome Ellenhorn, a Pitzer professor emeritus and organizational psychologist, died on April 12, 2015 at the age of 87.
He was a man of warmth and humor
whose life was defined by music and his belief in the musicality of the human experience. This theme guided Lews incredibly
creative life in its many variations: as a professor, psychologist and organizational consultant; in the harmony of his marriage, the
melodious attunement to his children and his
improvisations with his grandchildren; in
the acute listening to his friends and colleagues, and in his eager willingness to play
music.
He was born on May 11, 1927 in Chicago
to Rifka and Jacob Ellenhorn, who immigrated to the United States from Riga, Latvia
and Grodno, Poland, respectively. His parents owned a Jewish deli, which his mother
managed. Music was central in the Ellenhorn household. Jacob, a choir leader and
cantor in conservative and orthodox temples,
sang opera with a repertory company.
Maury, Lews older brother by 16 years,
was a professional pianist, arranger and
composer. It was therefore expected that
Lew, too, would play an instrument. When
he was 12 years old, his brother presented
him with a clarinet and Lew fell in love. He
would later joke that when given piano lessons his mother couldnt get him to practice;
when given the clarinet, she couldnt get
him to stop.
His father, whom he called Tata, died
from a stroke when Lew was 16. It was a
terrible blow, as he lost not only his father
but his best friend. After graduating from
Senn High School, Lew studied classical
clarinet and worked in a bank while playing
in jazz clubs with Jimmy Dale, among other
musicians. He garnered positive press, landing on Down Beat Magazines list of the
top 25 jazz clarinet players.
At 22, he auditioned for the Chicago
Civic Symphony. After passing the audition, he began practicing with the symphony
but then his older brother Maury, who was
living in Los Angeles, suffered a heart attack. Lew and his mother flew west to help
Maury recuperate and he never lived in
Chicago again.
During the Korean War, Mr. Ellenhorn
joined the 6th Army Band at the Presidio in
San Francisco and was transferred to Anacostia, DC as an instructor at the Navy
School of Music. At that time, he befriended
the renowned jazz musician Eric Dolphy,
with whom he played flute and bass clarinet
duets. In 1954 he returned to Presidio where
he met his future wife, Barbara. That, more
than any other experience, changed my view
of myself, Mr. Ellenhorn wrote in his memoirs. He and Barbara celebrated their 60th
wedding anniversary on April 2, 2015.
In 1955, the couple moved into a oneroom apartment in Hollywood. Playing clar-
inet, alto and tenor sax, flute and oboe, Mr.

Ellenhorn worked as a studio musician, including a stint with UPA Cartoons where he
played on the soundtrack for Mr. Magoo.
He also played the clarinet part for the
Rocky & Bullwinkle cartoon, was in the
orchestra for a Harry Belafonte Christmas
album, recorded with Sammy Davis Jr. and
toured with Jerry Lewis, among other notable gigs. In one of the most memorable
moments of his musical career, Lew played
in the orchestra for the movie Some Like It
Hot, backing Marylyn Monroe as she lilted,
I Wanna Be Loved By You.
While Lew began to make it as a studio
musician, he felt something was missing
from his life. One day, when leaving his
house for a gig, he said to Barbara, Im going to work. But then he thought, You
dont work a saxophone, you play it. Once
he realized that play had become work, he
made the decision to change vocational
routes. Throughout his life, Mr. Ellenhorn
focused on this theme, the places where life
can be seriously playful and even musical.
Life without music would be sterile and incomplete, he expressed. He later elaborated on this thought:
I do not mean solely music as a defined
art or performance. I am referring to the
music, which is constantly there as we interact with one another and as we pursue our
tasks. There is between us at all times an experiencing one another across musical directions.We have a song for everyone we
meet, one that may be characteristically ours
but with variations for almost every interaction which takes place.
While Mr. Ellenhorn started to move
away from working as a professional musician, music continued to define his life as he
created ways to apply these themes in facilitating the growth of individuals and organizations. In 1957, Lew enrolled at UCLA as
a sophomoreintending to study oboe but
surprising himself by declaring psychology
as his majorand, while starting a family
with Barbara, received a PhD in 1964 from
UCLA in social psychology.

He took a job as assistant professor in residence there, embarking on a long academic
career. Lews last engagement as a professional musician was in April 1964 with the
Los Angeles Philharmonic. I was realizing
that the music profession was too erratic, studio contracts were history and the competition was enormous in numbers and ability,
he wrote.
In 1966, Mr. Ellenhorn joined the faculty
at Pitzer College as one of the earliest faculty
members, and the family moved from Studio City to Claremont. He was a wonderful teacher. He was really good at getting
students to take risks, to do things that they
hadnt imagined they could do, Pitzer sociology professor Al Schwartz said. He
made students feel safe enough to share
their concerns, hopes and dreams.
Lew firmly believed in learning by doing
and each year his organizational psychology
students would create a madcap happening, designed to demonstrate group dynamics and organizational behavior in an experiential format. One year, for instance, he
and his students transformed the halls of the
dormitories into, by turns, a subway station,
a jungle complete with Tarzan swinging
from the vines and a Christmas area laden
with presents, with Lew dressed as a saxplaying Santa.
He was instrumental in founding Pitzers
Organizational Studies Field Group and was
an early supporter of Pitzers New Resources Program, continuing to work with
New Resources students as an emeritus professor. Many throughout the community remember Lew generously sharing his musical talent by performing for colleagues and
students at college events and Pitzer graduation ceremonies.
Beginning in 1967, Mr. Ellenhorn worked
for the Peace Corps as an assessment and selection officer. During his tenure with the
Corps, he travelled to Mexico, El Salvador
and Chile, living for short periods with his
family in Washington state and Puerto Rico
language training camps. In 1972 he became a full professor at Pitzer College as
well as a staff member with UCLAs Leadership Lab, an annual five-day executive
retreat in Ojai. While there, he experimented
with and developed the use of jazz as a
mode for describing group development.
In 1979, Lew took his involvement in
organizational psychology from the theoretical to the practical when he began consulting for various companies. His chief
client was Avery Dennison, with whom he
worked for nearly 30 years. In this capacity,
he enlarged the jazz metaphor from groups
to organizations, which he considered one of
his most creative undertakings. Jazz is a
genre of music which is created in the moment, requires some risk-taking and intuitiveness and is highly influenced by the in-
teractive dynamics of the group, as well as

the groups relationship to the listeners, he
noted in 1992 in CMCs Fortnightly magazine. Over the years, Mr. Ellenhorn travelled
throughout the United States, Europe and
Hong Kong, hiring local musicians to form
his jazz combo, and presenting jazz as a
metaphor for organizational life in a highly
successful performance/demonstration.
After retiring from teaching in 1992, Mr.
Ellenhorn continued his consulting work all
the way until the final day of his life, when
he expressed his desire to complete an unfinished report while in the hospital. He
loved the theater, movies, books and the
Los Angeles Philharmonic and pored
through the New Yorker every week. He
was a devoted father, and the years spent
raising a family were rich, colorful and full.
Lew also spent many enjoyable hours biking, hiking in the Sierras and taking road
trips with his beloved Barbara. Over the
years, they traveled throughout Europe,
Africa and Asia. In addition, he found enormous pleasure in the company of his grandchildren, taking them out to Some Crust
and his favorite habitat, the Village Grille.
Music remained Lews touchstone. He
also enjoyed playing with his son Ted, a
jazz guitarist and, right up to the end, he got
together every Tuesday to jam with local
musicians Harrison Stephens, Dion Sorrell
and Mike Fay. For some 25 years, he performed each summer at the Rancho Santa
Ana Botanic Garden as part of the Lew Ellenhorn Jazz Combo.
On April 25th, the family held a memorial service for Lew at the Garden. Friends
and relatives remembered him as a man of
impeccable humor, always making people
laugh with his jokes and puns, and as a man
of considerable and charismatic warmth. He
was a go-to man for people in trouble, a
fierce competitor, a brilliant social psychologist, a lover of playfulness and play and, of
course, a remarkable musician.
Lew was predeceased by his brother
Maury and sisters, Rae and Sarah. He is
survived by his wife of 60 years, Barbara,
and by his children: Theodore and fiance
Kristine Mamchur of Amherst, Massachusetts; Ross and wife Rebecca Wolfe of Arlington, Massachusetts, and Maureen and
her husband Christopher Ro of Berkeley.
He also leaves his grandsons, Zael and
Django, and their mother Patricia Everett;
grandson Max and Rebeccas children
Daniel and Kelsey and grandsons Jasper
and Stellan as well as nieces and nephews
Deborah Adler, Kent Harber, Julie Ellenhorn, Sherrie Zhan and Jack Taub.
In honor of Lews memory, the family
asks that donations be made to the Southern Poverty Law Center by visiting

CITY COUNCIL/continued from page 5
ome residents felt the current hours were too

limiting and didnt allow working residents
that live south of the freeway to benefit from
the tunnel. Others expressed concerns about safety,
loitering and vandalism. Several of those residents
addressed the city council on Tuesday.
It connects us to the rest of the city, explained
Darvin Gomez. Its great to be able to walk to the
Village or the park in just a couple minutes, and its
a safer alternative than taking Indian Hill Boulevard.
Another resident shared personal stories of
strangers resting on her lawn, using her hose to
bathe and people loitering in the tunnel.
I dont feel safe in my own home, she said. I
had one man in a black hoodie knocking on my
front door, and it was right after that murder in La
Verne. I didnt call police because I saw him walk
away and he didnt stop to bother anyone else.
The Claremont Community Services Department
and Claremont Police Department reviewed vandalism records and police calls in recent years to see if
there had been an increase in crime since the hours
had been extended. Finding no measureable increase
in vandalism, graffiti or police calls for service during that time, the city council directed city staff to
continue to lock and unlock the pedestrian tunnel
gates daily consistent with the current hours.
Weekday hours for the tunnel are April through
September from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.; October through
March from 6 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.; and year-round
weekend hours of 6 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Claremont native pursues peak experience
limbing the highest mountain on

each of the seven continents cannot
be taken lightly; one must go at it
with both feet.
That summary comes from Claremont native Tom
Bicksler, and he should know. The 41-year-old has
climbed two of the worlds seven highest peaks and will
take on his third, Mount McKinley, this month.
Mr. Bicksler, who currently resides in Mt. Baldy, has
always been an outdoorsman but a momentous event almost 10 years ago pushed him to pursue serious mountaineering. At age 31, he weighed 245 pounds but his
weight plummeted to 170 over the following year.
Alarmed by the sudden weight loss and knowing of his
familys history of diabetes, his sister suggested a visit to
the doctor. At age 32, his life changed.
They call me a 1.5, said Mr. Bicksler, referring to the
two types of diabeticsthose whose bodies dont produce insulin (Type 1) and those whose bodies cant use
insulin properly (the more common, Type 2). Being
somewhere in between, he produces some insulin but is
still required to take insulin injections.
Fighting one chronic disease is tough but, a few years
later, he was diagnosed with the immune deficiency
Crohns disease, which attacks the intestine. Staying
healthy and being fit helps keep both diseases under control so, at age 37, Mr. Bicksler started training to climb the
seven summits.
Once I started getting into the bigger mountains,
some of the people I hike with here in Baldy started
kicking around the idea of climbing Kilimanjaro. They
didnt follow through, but I ended up taking the jump and
took off to Africa.
REACHING THE SUMMIT/next page
Photo courtesy of Tom Bicksler

In 013, Claremont native Tom Bicksler climbed Argentinas Mount Aconcagua, the tallest point in both South
America and the Southern Hemisphere. In the photo, he is at about 21,700 feet, less than 1000 vertical feet from
the summit.
REACHING THE SUMMIT/

continued from the previous page
He reached the highest point in Africa,

Tanzanias 19,341-foot Mount Kilimanjaro, in October of 2012 and shortly after
began using the endeavor to raise awareness about diabetes and Crohns.
I have two goals: first, an athletic
lifestyle helps control some of the issues
we have and also to show people that life
is not over [after a diagnosis].
His second peak, the highest point in
South America, was the spectacular
Mount Aconcagua in Argentina which, at
22,841 feet, is also the highest point in the
Southern Hemisphere.
This week, he flew to Alaska to attempt
McKinley which, at 20,320 feet, is the
highest point in North America. It is one of
the most difficult peaks to conquer due to
brutal wind and unpredictable temperatures. It can be 60 degrees one day and minus-20 the next. The expedition can take
up to 25 days, and the team of six climbers
will have to take all of their equipment
with them.
For a diabetic, the climb presents another challenge.
Diabetes makes climbing in extreme
conditions difficult, he said. Monitoring
sugar levels and injecting insulin. Also,
your insulin must not freeze or it will go
bad. On McKinley, this will be a huge
challenge at minus-20 degrees. Keeping it
in a pouch close to your body can be the
only way to keep it from freezing.
Current weather conditions in Denali
National Park are not the best, with a foot
COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff

Mt. Baldy resident Tom Bicksler left for Alaska this week to climb Mount McKinley, the third peak in his endeavor to climb the highest mountains in the seven continents. Mr. Bicksler, who is a diabetic and has Crohns disease, has set up a website to chronicle his efforts and to increase public awareness about his condition.
of snow over the weekend and a forecast

of down to minus-65 on the summit, according to Mr. Bicksler. Severe weather
aside, hes ready for the challenge.
Im excited about the trip, Mr. Bicksler said just one day before his flight to
Anchorage. The teams pretty strong.
The team plans to spend only 10 minutes at the top. The final day involves a
2,000-foot vertical climb, which will take
10 hours to ascend and descend. Topping
the list of obstacles that could cause the
team to abandon the effort include whiteout conditions, extremely strong winds
and blizzards. Injury or altitude sickness

could also stop the ascent.
Altitude will be a major problem up
there. I do have a device for satellite texting and will keep in contact with family.
Also, if I have a clear signal, I will update
the expeditions Facebook page.
If he succeeds in climbing all seven
summits, Mr. Bicksler will join a small
group of adventurers. Oddly, a reliable
number remains unclear; the most complete list abruptly stops in 2011. Several attempts to get a count from professional
climbing organizations went nowhere. Mr.
17
Bicksler estimates the number is around

350 climbers since 1985, when American
Richard Bass became the first by reaching
the top of Mount Everest.
The feat is not without controversy.
Some have criticized Mr. Bass for climbing the 7,310-foot Mount Kosciuszko, the
highest point in Australia, instead of the
more difficult Puncak Jaya (also known as
Carstensz Pyramid) in Indonesia, which is
also part of the Australian continent. In
1986, Canadian Patrick Morrow became
the first to complete all seven including the
Indonesian peak.
The seven summits (plus one to account for both tallest peaks on the Australian continent) include: Mount Everest
in Asia; Aconcagua in South America;
Mount McKinley in North America; Kilimanjaro in Africa; Mount Elbrus in Europe; Mount Vinson in Antarctica; Puncak
Jaya on the Australian continent, and
Mount Kosciuszko in Australia.
Mr. Bicksler is already planning his
next attempt, Russias Mount Elbrus at
18,150 feet.
Ive given myself 10 years to complete all seven, just in case I dont summit
a particular mountain and have to do it
twice, he said. I have a history of seeing
how far I can take things. Some people say
I take things to extremes.
The McKinley trek could cost as much
as $10,000, while Mount Everest will be
at least $45,000. To keep track of Mr.
Bickslers progress and donate, visit

CHS softball gets shutout at last home game
verheard from the South Hills

dugout at the top of the sixth inning on Thursday: This is going
to be a big inning. I can just feel it.
Boy,was that an understatement.
South Hills defeated Claremont High School 7-0 on
Thursday in Claremont, anchored by an
SPORTING
explosive sixth inning during which the
LIFE
Huskies could do nothing wrong, putting six runs on the board. Up until then it was a 1-0 game,
and Claremont kept South Hills on their toes with some
good pitching and some equally good defense.
In the first inning, it looked like the Wolfpack might go
on the board first when senior Chloe Amarilla singled and
then advanced to scoring position on a sacrifice bunt from
junior Ashley Atwater. The Pack added some good luck
when freshman Nadine Ordonez took first after being hit
by a pitch. But South Hills pitcher Natalia Lugo put
Claremont away with two strikeouts.
The Huskies wasted no time scoring when their catcher
Melysia Ortega hit a home run to start off the second inning. Ortega had a great game, getting a hit each time she
came to the plate with the exception of her last appearance when she was hit with a pitch.
South Hills made several valiant efforts to increase
their lead over the next three innings, but Claremont either shut them down or got a bit of luck.
In the third inning, South Hills got two singles early,
only to fly out and ground out. Then, in the fourth, the
Huskies advanced runners to second and third bases.
Claremont pitcher Roe Keirns struck out Quinn DeAvila. It was dj vu in the fifth when, with two runners on
base, CHS got the clutch strikeout.
But then came the sixth, which started out badly for the
Pack when Ortega hit her second home run. It was a big
inning indeed with six hits, two walks and one hit by a
pitch. Claremont struggled, missing some easy chances
to stop the hemorrhaging, but in the end, South Hills
scored six runs and the game was essentially over.
Credit has to go to Lugo, who pitched an amazing
seven innings, striking out 11 batters, while giving up
only one hit and earning the shutout.
Tuesday was also senior night for CHS as they bid
farewell to Brittany Attaway, Nadine Valdez, Roe Keirns
and Chloe Amarilla, who will all graduate in June.
With the loss, Claremonts record now stands at 9-10
overall and 2-7 in the Palomares League.

Claremont short stop Katie Kempton gets the force
out on South Hills runner Marissa Reyes for the second out of the fifth inning in Claremont. There were
few bright spots for Claremont on Tuesday afternoon, which was their last home game of the season.
ATLEFT:South Hills third base Clarissa Perez gets
the last out of the game as she tags Claremont runner Camryn Texeira. The Pack played a good defensive game until the sixth inning when the Huskies
scored six runs to seal their 7-0 victory.
HIGH SCHOOL ROUND-UP
the month at Redlands University.
TENNIS
BASEBALL
By unanimous decision of the participating coaches, Claremont High School

tennis star Andrew Leahy was awarded
the Palomares League MVP after his victory in the finals last week at The Claremont Club. It is the second year in a row
that Leahy has been league MVP.
Leahy beat South Hills Kevin Tang in
the semifinals 6-4, 6-0 and then easily
handled the number-two-ranked Neal
Tengbumroong from Diamond Bar in the
finals 6-2, 6-1. This is the third year in a
row that Leahy has made it to the league
finals and his second championship victory after losing to his brother Alan as a
freshman.
Leyton Bohren lost in a close three-set
semi-final match to Tengbumroong 3-6,
6-1, 6-4, however, this was still a remarkable showing for the freshman.
Leahy and Tengbumroong will go on to
play in individual CIF competition later in
Claremont High School baseball won

their Palomares League game against
Bonita on Tuesday in La Verne.
In another pitchers duel, the Pack
looked like they were headed for a 1-0
defeat until they scored in the sixth, forcing the game into extra innings.
After two more scoreless innings,
Claremont finally broke it open in the
ninth, scoring three runs and securing the
4-1 win. In total, the Pack had 14 hits and
four RBIs.

Jake Gentry each had three hits and one
run, with Gentry getting a double. The
other two runs came from senior Jeremiah Maldonado and senior Tyler Roebuck. Maldonado also had an RBI.
Senior Ryan Betancourt had three hits
and one RBI and Cole Prentice had two
runs with one RBI.
Tyler Witt pitched six innings, giving
up two hits and one run while striking

out eight and walking three. Reliever
Travis Moffatt pitched three innings, giving up no hits, walks or runs but striking
out two.
Last week was a good week for the
San Antonio Lions. After opening their
soccer season with a 3-2 over Pomona
Park West, School of Extended Options
on April 30, the Lions went on a twogame winning streak to close out the
week.
On Thursday, May 7, San Antonio
played the Hillside High School Hawks
and walked away with a 3-1 victory at
Pomona High School. The top performance came from Junior Jose Vasquez
who had two goals.
SAN ANTONIO SOCCER

The following day, San Antonio defeated the Chaparral High School Bulldogs during a day game by a score of 7-1.

different players scoring and an assist
when Chaparral scored against itself.

Manual Cortez, with three goals apiece.
The Lions played on Thursday, May
14 in a rematch with Pomona Park West

Dogs: a common-sense approach
f you are a dog-lover, its exciting when you see a pooch out
and about.
It might be a larger dog, slobbering and looking

ready to play, or a small breed youd love to scoop
up. Maybe its a type of dog youve never seen in
person. Who knew St. Bernards are really that big,
or that Dalmatians have so many spots?! Perhaps
its a puppy, whose coat looks as soft to the touch
as a ducklings feathers.
Whether you encounter a dog at someones
house, at the local park or on the street, you might
be tempted to rush over and make friends. There
are some precautions you should take, though.
First, ask your mom or dad if its okay for you to
have a meet-and-greet with the dog. Once theyve
given the go-ahead, talk to the owner. Let them
know you like their dog. Ask its name and if its a
boy or girl.
Ask about the dogs preferences, too: Does your
dog like having people pet him? The owner will
usually let you know right away. Yes, she is very
friendly and loves nothing more than a good rub.
Or, No, he is uncomfortable with strangers.
If the dog doesnt like to socialize, its time to
move on. Dont take it personally. Just like humans,
every animal is different. If the owner says the dog
likes to visit, you can prepare to make contact.

Even if youre overjoyed to encounter a canine
cutie, dont move too quickly. Dogs can get startled. And they like to get used to a new acquaintance. He may approach and sniff you, because
dogs learn a lot about their environment from
smell. If he walks away afterward, take the hint.
Hes not in the mood to hang out. If he nudges you,
he is likely interested in being pet.
Cesar Millan, a famous dog trainer known as The
Dog Whisperer, warns dog-lovers, Never pet an
unfamiliar dog on the top of the head, as the dog
can perceive this as a threat. Instead, pet or scratch
the dog on the chest. He suggests approaching the
dog from the side and kneeling down.
If you see a dog walking around unaccompanied
by an owner, dont attempt to pet her. Let an adult
know if you are worried that a loose dog may not
be friendly.
Hobnobbing with a shiny Labrador or chubby
bulldog can be the highlight of your day. But again,
consult your parents and take cues from the pet
owner and their dog.
Mr. Millan says its important to respect dogs and
their space. Dogs are not toys, and not all [of
them] want to instantly be your childs best friend.

m Maggie Mae, a 9-monthold puppy belonging to

COURIER reporter Angela
Bailey and her family.
I have a kind of interesting background. I

come from an animal shelter at the North Pole.
I was brought to Upland by two elves named
Charlie and Ginger as a Christmas present for
the Bailey kids, Bella Rae, 8, and Braydon, 5.
As it turns out, I love family life. I sleep underneath the bed of my mom and dad, Angela
and Mike. Im pretty crafty, so I even made myself a little nest by pulling the fabric batting
away from the mattress box spring.
My family has decided that my breed is
Flat-Coated Retriever. I just know Im a dog,
whose hobbies include sniffing people (sometimes in embarrassing places) and stealing my
humans socks. I also like playing Maggie
races. In this amazing game, Mike throws a
baseball and I race against Bella and Braydon
to see who can get the ball first and get it back
to Dad. I usually win.
I am mostly well-behaved, because I graduated from the top of my class at the Petsmart
dog-training school. I learned commands like
stay, sit and come, and my family has
taught me how to hold up my paw to shake
hands or give a high-five.
I love adventures like going to the Claremont
Pooch Park. Ive even been camping and am
going camping again in June and July. Ive got
a busy social calendar.
Lets see, what else do you need to know
about me? I have a soft coat, which everyone
takes turns brushing, and Im named after a
song by some guy named Rod Stewart. And if
you see me around town, youll know me by my
happy doggie smile.

And the Dish Ran Away With the Spoon
Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon;
The little dog laughed to see such sport,
And the dish ran away with the spoon.
Ever heard of that nursery rhyme? Well,
this childrens book makes all the nursery
rhymes and fairytales come alive.
The dish has disappeared along with the
spoon! Usually, they come back every night
after the poem has been read. Follow the cat,
dog and cow as they embark on a journey
around a nursery rhyme-based land to find
their lost friends. This book is packed full of
fun puns, too! Recommended for ages 6-12.

Ask Ady:
by Ady Bolinger
Review by Claremont Kids correspondent Eden Yu, a seventh grader at El Roble

Intermediate School.
News Bites
DEAR ADY: I am in fifth grade and have a

best friend. She is usually very nice to me, but
sometimes when we are with another girl we
both know, she turns kind of mean. They whisper together and dont tell me what they are
talking about and they have even tried to ditch
me before. I want to keep my friend but she is
hurting my feelings. What should I do?
Signed, Curious in Claremont
DEAR CURIOUS IN CLAREMONT: I am
also in fifth grade and I know what its like.
As I see it, you have three possible options.
Your first option is simply to talk to your
friend and ask her if shes even aware that this
happens. Ask her why she acts that way and
express how you feel. I bet you feel sad and
have hurt feelings.
Your second option is to talk to both your
friend and the other girl and ask them to be
nicer to you, so you can all be friends.
Another option is that you can tell a family
member or a trusted adult (mom, dad, sibling,
teacher, etc.) what is going on and he/she will
help you work it out. Dont feel like you have
to do it alone. If she is a good friend, she will
understand and try to fix it. Those are my
thoughtsI hope they help!

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 notpresent at the
sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale
date has been postponed, and, if applicable,
the rescheduled time and date for the sale of
this property, you may call 800-542-2550 for
information regarding the trustee's sale or visit
this Internet Web site www.rtspacific.com
using the file number assigned to this case. 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. In compliance with California Civil
Code 2923.5(c), the mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary, or authorized agent declares: that it has
contacted the borrower(s) to assess their financial situation and to explore options to
avoid foreclosure; or that it has made efforts
to contact the borrower(s) to assess their financial situation and to explore options to
avoid foreclosure by one or more of the following methods: by telephone, by United
States mail; either 1st class or certified; by
overnight delivery; by personal delivery; by email; by face to face meeting or the borrower
has surrendered the property to the mortgagee,
trustee, beneficiary, or authorized agent and
that the compliance with Civil Code Section
2923.5 was made at least thirty (30) days prior
to the date of this Notice of Sale. DATED:

above is purported to be: 2218 GRAND AVENUE, CLAREMONT, CALIFORNIA 917112210 APN#: 8671-026-007 The undersigned
Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common
designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will

executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale,

county where the real property is located. 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 800-280-2832 for
information regarding the trustee's sale or visit
this Internet Web site www.auction.com for information regarding the sale of this property,
using the file number assigned to this case
00000004726860. 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. FOR TRUSTEE SALE INFORMATION

I can't say enough about Mason's easy-going professionalism. I have

worked with many real estate agentsbuying and selling a homesome
good and some not so good, but Mason stands above the rest. Although a
busy agent, he made us feel like we were his only clients. It is obvious that
Mason takes pride in his work and helped us through what has usually
been a very stressful process. We were always informed, updated and met
personally when needed. There was never pressure, unnecessary stress or

2014
April was an incredibly busy month! There was a nearly 33 percent increase in home sales compared with the prior month, and many of the homes in the upper end sold. An increased number of $1 million-plus properties selling has, of course, caused an illusion that average list prices
have made a massive jump. However, there have been modest, steady gains over the winter
months. Current inventory is hovering in the mid-70s to low-80s, but homes are selling almost as
fast as they are coming on to the market. Homes that have been significantly updated seem to be
selling the quickest. The months of May and June are likely to follow suit.
