Dear Editor:
A computer geek friend of mine told
me the whole Internet system could crash
with about three key strokes. He said the
Internet was never designed for how it is
currently being used and neither is the
wireless technology. So, it occurs to me
theres hope for saving the free world
from the extremist suicidal murderers,
whoever they may be.
Much of what is happening in the
haters world of today would be impossible without the Internet, the facile ways
of connecting and brainless ways of finding anyone and everything; the easily
available instruction on how to devise
lethal, cheap Internet Explosive Devices
(IEDs); the impulsive ways of disseminating opinions and spinning facts into
inflammatory rhetoric.
Whats worse is that there is a huge
population all-too-willing to believe anything that stirs up adrenalin. Some rhetoric or polemics are designed to bypass
frontal lobes and go directly to the trigger
finger. Some think, Why vote when bullets will take care of my frustration immediately?
By the way, when did it happen that
we as a society would rather honor inflammatory rhetoric than the rational and
factual truth? Did that begin to happen
when humanistic psychology died or was
it with the birth and contagion of the Internet, e-mailing, Facebook, Tweeting,
etc.? Any answers or thoughts will be appreciated, even those from true believers
and otherwise prejudiced opinionators.
Im sure not everyone will agree with
me, but thats okay with me. Ive been
right about some things before and few
agreed with me then. Being old, Id
rather be right than loved. Thanks for
paying attention.
ADVENTURES
Were all somehow assured there will

be more catastrophic tragedies in the near
future, but that doesnt keep me from
having chats and coffee (or a martini) at
the local haunts. Denial is a wonderful
psychotic mechanism that allows us to
live our lives and keep functioning in our
more or less preferred ways. The winter
solstice is coming. May your saeason be
safe and jolly!

Claremont Museum of Art has new home at the Depot
he Claremont Museum
of Art is about to receive a new set of
walls. The city council approved renting out the Claremont Depot to the museum at
a reduced price at Tuesdays
meeting.
The CMA will set up shop at the historic Depot, currently occupied by
Foothill Transit, at a rate of one dollar a
year, according to city documents. The
decision is the latest chapter in the museums up-and-down history in Claremont, and is contingent on the
procurement of more than $1 million in
grants.
Human Services Director Anne
Turner, who presented the proposal to
council, claimed that establishing the
museum at the location would, preserve the Claremont Depot and reframe
it not only as a visual icon for the community, but as a hub for Claremonts
growing arts scene and a centerpiece to
the Village area.
The CMA, first established in 2004,
was originally located in the Packing
House, but closed its doors at the end of
2009 due to financial woes. Since then,
CMA has billed itself as a museum
without walls, with much of the artwork owned by the group housed in a
climate-controlled storage space in
Pomona.
The 10-year lease hinges on the museums pledge to secure over $1.8 million in grants to keep the museum open,
according to Ms. Turner. The CMA will
take over the Depot as is, save for
$350,000 in ADA and seismic retrofitting the city will undertake.
Funds for ADA and seismic retrofitting will come from Proposition C,
which allocates money for transportation-related endeavors. Ms. Turner confirmed the funds have been approved
for use on the museum project.
In her presentation, Ms. Turner also
said the Depots location along the railroad tracks, coupled with the upcoming
Gold Line extension, will frame the
museum as a regional destination.
Once the museum is open, the public
restrooms at the Depot will no longer
remain available to the public.
Metrolink, bus riders and pedestrians
looking to use restrooms must instead
seek other public restrooms in the Village, the nearest being city hall.
With an annual operating budget of
close to $900,000, the CMA opened its
inaugural location at the Packing House
in 2006 after years of planning spearheaded by Claremont resident and artist
Marguerite McIntosh. The museum
struggled at the Packing House, which
board members attributed to the nationwide economic recession.
After borrowing more than $37,450
from the city to stay afloat, the museum
closed its doors two days after Christmas in 2009.
Ms. Turner explained to the council
speed limits with an exception of Oxford, and would evaluate possible traffic calming procedures to alleviate
speeding, including crosswalks.
Its a very frustrating experience for
every street that comes before us, Mr.
Schroeder said. And I just have to remind the public that its state laws that
are binding us here.
Mr. Schroeder encouraged the public
to contact their state representative if
they feel like the current rules regarding
speed limit classifications need to be
changed.
Councilmember Opanyi Nasiali
called out many residents in the affected area for speeding themselves and
sending the average speed upward.
We have had so many people coming in tonight, complaining about increasing speed limits on Scripps, Mr.
Nasiali said. So, its not the person
from the other city or the other neighborhood who is speeding on your street.
Its you, your neighbor, or the person
nearby. And I challenge those of you
who are here, saying theyre going to
kill us with speed, that you actually do
drive 25 miles an hour in a residential
district. I bet that you dont.
The council moved forward with Alternative B with a unanimous 5-0 vote.

that the $1 per year rent is vital for the

survival of the museum, which will hit
the ground running to secure grants and
other funds.
One such grant is the California Cultural and Historical Endowment Grant,
which awards from $250,000 to
$500,000. One requirement for applying for the grant is that a facility must
be open to the public for at least 120
days.
During discussion, the council
praised the idea wholeheartedly, hailing
it as an excellent idea for the community.
[The Depot] has been sitting there,
as beautiful as it is, but without a soul,
Mayor Pro Tem Sam Pedroza said. I
cant think of a better idea than this
project. It would really give it the life it
needs and fulfill the vision the community had when it restored this building.
Councilmember Larry Schroeder
agreed, calling the project a win-win,
and a great opportunity for the station.
The motion passed unanimously, 5-0.
According to the deal, the CMA must
meet with city staff annually for updates, and the city reserves the right to
terminate the contract at any time.
Focus on speed limits
Also on the agenda for the city council was a proposal to change the speed
limits of a number of roadways within
the city. The changes were the result of
the 2015 Speed Survey, which catalogued average speeds of drivers going
through selected stretches of road.
City Engineer Loretta Mustafa pre-
sented the findings to council, and recommended changing the speed limits to
the following roads: Claremont Boulevard from Sixth to Foothill would
change from 45 mph to 40 mph; Sixth
Street from Mills to Claremont would
decrease from 35 mph to 30; Indian
Hill Boulevard from American to San
Jose would fall to 30 mph from 35
mph, and Indian Hill from First to
Bonita would downgrade from 30 mph
to 25 mph.
The only speed limit increase would
affect a stretch of Oxford Avenue from
Colby Circle to Scripps Drive. According to the results of the survey, the average speed along the stretch of road is 33
mph. Based on the data, Ms. Mustafa
presented a recommendation to increase the speed limit from 25 mph to
30 mph.
Almost all of the public commenters
were residents of the adjacent neighborhood, who claimed the speed limit increase would be a danger to the
community.
Resident Cheryl Boardman described
a certain crosswalk within the stretch of
road as a death walk, because it is
within a blind spot.
Judy Marchant was more forceful in
her stance against the proposed speed
limit hike, calling out the police department for not enforcing speeders on the
street and calling on them to enforce
the hell out of [the speed limit].
During discussion, the councilmembers expressed reservations with approving the speed limit increase on
Oxford, moving toward Alternative B.
The alternative would approve all the

t the end of the meeting, Mayor Corey

Calaycay formally announced the creation of a new
ad hoc committee that would
oversee plans for a new police
station. The committee, created
after the failure of Measure PS
at the polls last month, will
contain both supporters and
detractors of the measure.

with Mr. Calaycay and Police Commission Chair Ed Reece serving as ex-officio members.
Mr. Bedoya and Ms. Crocker were
prominent members of the Yes on PS
campaign, while Mr. Shea was the chief
architect of the proposed police station.
Mr. Sterba and Ms. Seven were vocal
opponents of the measure, and Mr. Lanneskog is the CEO of the Claremont
University Consortium.
The council will not meet for the rest
of the year. The December 22 meeting
was ceremoniously canceled for the

Geurts arraignment
postponed until January
he arraignment of a 14-year-old
Claremont boy accused of his sisters murder has been pushed to
late January.
Judge Wade Olson of the Pomona Superior Court

pushed the hearing for Nathaniel Geurts, on request
from counsel, to January 26, 2016. This is the second time the arraignment hearing has been rescheduled.
Clad in an orange prison jumpsuit and shackled at
the arms and ankles, the suspect appeared before the
court, looking straight ahead as Judge Olson spoke
with him. When Judge Olson asked if he would
waive his right to a speedy preliminary hearing due
to the arraignment being pushed, he replied, Yes,
your honor.
The suspects lawyer, Daniel G. Davis, referred to
the defendants young age and argued that the notion of him being tried as an adult was unconstitutional.
Judge Olson disagreed. The state of the law is
exactly where he is right now, he said.
The boy has been charged with murder in the
death of his 15-year-old sister, Aspen Geurts, on November 4. According to Lt. Mike Ciszek, the teen allegedly stabbed his sister in the chest with a kitchen
knife in the backyard of their home, located on the
300 block of Andover Drive.
The suspect is currently being held on $10 million
bail. His next appearance will be at the Pomona Superior Court.

The source of that familiar squawking in Claremonts skies isnt typically seen up-close. About a dozen
green parrots were eating breakfast together at Jaeger Park, munching on berries, one morning last
week. Its rumored that these parrots are escaped migrators from the Huntington Library and Gardens in
San Marino and have since adapted to the wilds of Claremont and beyond. The birds do enjoy the warm
winter weather and this week is no exception. Weekend weather will be partly cloudy with temperatures
in the 70s, lows around 45 degrees. No rain is expected over the next 10 days.

Claremont police arrested a San
Bernardino woman after she stole coffee creamers from a convenience store
and refused to leave. The incident happened at 9:41 p.m. at AM/PM, according to Lt. Mike Ciszek. When officers
arrived, they found 49-year-old Sue
Schlie inside the business and exhibiting telltale signs of narcotic intoxication. When officers asked if she had
ever used, Ms. Schlie replied, I never
did. Im like the firedog, you know?

An unknown number of burglars
broke into a home and stole a number
of valuables, including an American
Girl doll. The incident happened between 9 a.m. and 10:25 p.m. on the
3500 block of Pennsylvania Place. The
burglars used an unknown tool to
smash a window on the property, gaining entry to the house. The subjects
stole jewelry as well as the doll, with
estimated property loss at $5500. Anyone with information is urged to contact
the Claremont Police Department at
(909) 399-5411.
Friday, December 4
An arrest in front of a gas station
turned into something larger early Friday morning. Claremont officers initially made contact with a man and a
woman in front of the AM/PM on the

700 block of East Foothill Boulevard
close to 1 a.m. The man identified himself to officers as James Hunt and,
during a check of his bag, an opium
pipe was found as well as burglary
tools. The woman initially gave a name
to officers and was allowed to leave. As
Mr. Hunt was being taken into custody,
he revealed his true identity as Adam
Russell, a 20-year-old local transient
who had a felony no-bail warrant on his
record. While Mr. Russell was getting
booked, he twisted the fingers of the arresting officer, resulting in other officers wrestling him to the ground. Based
on the information Mr. Russell had
given them, officers located the woman
again at the Starbucks on the 600 block
of Foothill. When police found her,
they determined she was actually a 13year-old runaway from La Verne. She
was also exhibiting signs of drug intoxication and was in possession of a dagger. The juvenile was arrested and
released to the Department of Child and
Family Services. Mr. Russell is being
charged with obstruction, resisting arrest, giving false a ID to an officer and
assault on an officer.

A La Verne woman was arrested for
DUI after she crashed her car into a
Claremont welcome sign. Ingrid Delva,
27, was traveling westbound near the
intersection of Base Line and Forbes at
approximately 3:07 a.m. when she
made an unsafe turn, which caused her

to crash into a median, a city-owned
tree, a concrete pole, a large metal sign
and the welcome sign. When officers
arrived at the scene, they determined
that Ms. Delva was under the influence
of alcohol. Due to her injuries, Ms.
Delva was transported to Pomona Valley Hospital and given a written notice
to appear for the DUI.

Claremont police arrested a man after
he was found screaming and honking
his horn in a residential driveway at
about 5:30 p.m. Christopher Dreyer, 43,
of Claremont, had been honking and
screaming for a while before officers arrived to the house, located on the 1800
block of Antioch Road, according to Lt.
Ciszek. When officers asked Mr. Dreyer
why he was making noise, he replied
that coyotes were chasing him. A record
check revealed he was on probation for
domestic violence, and when officers
searched Mr. Dreyer they found
methamphetamine in his front shirt
pocket. Mr. Dreyer was arrested and
sent to CPD jail.
Sunday, December 6
Being a jerk wont get you very far
in this town. A San Dimas man learned
this lesson the hard way after he was arrested for public intoxication after getting kicked out of The Press.
Christopher Schlieker, 47, was ejected
from the bar after allegedly insulting a
female patron, according to the report.
Mr. Schlieker hung around too long and
police were called. Upon arrival, police
noticed Mr. Schlieker showing signs of

alcohol intoxication. I was at The
Press having a good time when this
woman wanted me to move so she
could sit down, Mr. Schlieker told police. I told her if she wasnt so fat, I
wouldnt have to move. She got mad
and the bar asked me to leave. I did not
do anything wrong. She was just mad
because she was fat. Mr. Schlieker
was arrested for public intoxication and
spent the night in the CPD jail.
Monday, December 7
Claremont police arrested 27-year-old
Gardenia Guzman of Claremont for
public intoxication after she walked
through a crosswalk on a red hand signal at the intersection of Harrison and
Towne. While Ms. Guzman was walking at approximately 10:32 p.m., a car
narrowly missed hitting her. When officers arrived and told Ms. Guzman about
the near hit, she replied, Really? I
didnt even see the car. Officers noticed Ms. Guzman exhibiting signs of
drunkenness. While police were engaging with her, Ms. Guzmans parents reportedly showed up at the scene,
according to Lt. Ciszek. This agitated
Ms. Guzman, causing her to lie on the
ground and refuse to get up. Police
helped her into the cruiser, where she
banged her head against the door four
times. When asked if she needed medical attention while at the CPD jail, Ms.
Guzman said, Oh no, Im fine. I was
just trippin, just acting dumb.

CMC professor explores Politics of Autism in new book
ack Pitneys book may not

provide hard-and-fast answers on autism, whether at
home or in society as a whole,
but it does give readers a lot to
think about.
The Politics of Autism provides a view
into the ways we try to acknowledge and
support people and their families whose
disability makes navigating a complicated
world even more complicated.
Its a messy proposition, because nothing in the situation is uniform, beginning
with the condition. After all, people with
autism fall into a spectrum that can find
them unable to communicate at all or eloquent enough to share their stories for literary or political ends.
Mr. Pitney, a professor of politics at
Claremont McKenna College, was inspired to write the book because someone
close to him has autism, but its not autobiographical.
There are a lot of good first-person
accounts. There are plenty of those
books, he said. What I thought was
needed is for someone to put together
what we know about autism policies and
what the government is doing on various
levels.
When a parent receives a diagnosis that
their child has autism or suspects their
child may have the disability, they crave
guidance, according to Mr. Pitney.
Thats something the people in the
community need, direction about what
services are available and what kind of
help is out there, he said.
Unfortunately, the answer is convoluted. Theres no sweeping federal policy
for the diagnosis and treatment of autism.
Instead, it varies from state-to-state,
county-to-county.
In California and in many other states,
a toddler with autism receives services
from a regional center. In some cases,
however, families find their children on
long waiting lists for services, which precludes them getting help during the earliest stages of diagnosis.
After age three, the school system assumes primary responsibility for autism
services. Then, at age 22, that responsibility is transferred back to the regional
center, at which point Mr. Pitney characterizes the level of assistance provided as
hit or miss.
In Politics of Autism, he quotes Illinois
state representative Patricia Bellock who
says, We call it falling off the cliff. We
can keep them in school until theyre 22.
After that, theres nothing for them.
Mr. Pitney emphasizes that the support
each individual and each family affected
by autism receives varies widely, from region to region, from district to district,
from school site to school site and from
case to case.
There are some people out there who
say they have been able to get rid of their
childs autism through complementary
therapies such as a diet change. The most
well-known of these is celebrity Jenny
McCarthy, whose approach has created
outrage among many in the autism com-

Jack Pitney, professor of American politics at Claremont McKenna College, has recently published The Politics of Autism: Navigating the Contested Spectrum.
munity.
Most people, however, say there is no
cure for autism spectrum disorder. What
most people agree upon is that interventionssuch as speech, occupational or
behavioral therapycan be very beneficial, and the earlier such services begin the
better.
Decades ago, people with autism were
assumed to have mental retardation or
mental illness. A common course of action
was to commit them to an institution.
Nowadays, a more integrative approach is
advocated, which sees the person with
autism living at home and attending
school. Whenever possible, the goal is to
mainstream a childs education. In most
cases, kids with autism attend a public
school, spending as much time as possible
in classes dominated by peers without
autism.
Its not cheap. Many kids with autism
require a one-on-one aide in the classroom, as well as ancillary services like
speech therapy and adaptive physical education. It all starts with the students individualized education program (IEP).
Some districts are pro-active and provide a strong education to students with
autism. In other cases, parents have to

fight for accommodations, going so far as
to have legal counsel or specialists attend
their IEPs. Its easy to understand why a
district might balk at coverage, considering thatdespite the fact that schools
must give a fair and equal education to
each student, providing any necessary accommodations needed to nurture disabled
studentsstudents with disabilities receive only 19 percent more funding from
the federal government.
The way the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act is structured, it puts a
lot of pressure on parents to be advocates,
Mr. Pitney said.
Some parents are more successful than
others at getting the services they feel their
child needs. Parents who are highly educated and affluent seem to do better, because they tend to be more knowledgeable
about the childs rights and often have
lawyers and medical professionals in their
social circles. Low-income and minority
families tend to be at greater risk of falling
through the cracks.
The disparity is so great that some advocates tell parents if they dont want to be
pushed to the side, they should present
themselves as affluent, aware and unafraid. In Mr. Pitneys book, he shares the
advice of Carmen Carley, a professional
autism advocate in the state of California:
Wear a fake diamond ring, she tells
mothers who lack a real one. Make them
think youre ready to fight. Dont show
them youre weak. Dont show them
youre tired.
It takes even greater advocacy and in
some cases agitation to get insurance companies to foot the bill for therapies. In
many cases, companies with an eye on the
bottom line deny families funding or reimbursement for all but the most medically obvious treatments. The problem
with this approach is there is no medication or surgery that has proved effective in
the treatment of autism. The treatment is
therapeutic and, again, therapists cost.
To complicate matters, a child may
make great gains with one therapy, yet
another will suffer deficits under the same
program. Theres no one approach that
works with all kids on the spectrum.
Mr. Pitney points to the cost of Applied
Behavioral Analysis, a commonly used
therapy that is controversial, but which
many autism families swear by.
An intensive program may take 25 to
40 hours a week of one-on-one attention
for one to three years, with rates starting at
$50 an hour, he notes in his book. More
than 30 states have enacted laws requiring
health insurance companies to cover behavioral therapy. With autism, though, a
mandate on the insurers is not a guarantee for the parents, who often have to
fight insurance companies in court to ensure compliance.
Although highly effective, less mainstream therapies like Floortimea developmental individual-difference relationship-based model (DIR) created by child
psychiatrist Stanley Greenspanarent
covered at all.
Mr. Pitney admits his book is no
panacea, writing, Nearly every page of
this book has suggested unanswered question. Some may not even be answerable.
What he is sure about is that whenever
possible, autism policies and politics
should be devised with the cooperation of
people who have autism, have a loved
one whos affected or are at least willing
to walk a mile in the moccasins of those in
the autism community.
Its important to take into account the
perspectives of autistic people themselves,
which tend to get lost sometimes, he said.
Mr. Pitney is pleased to see that a growing number of people are aware of autism,
making them more sensitive to those who
are on the spectrum and more open to political expedients such as legislation and
funding. And he has seen first-hand that
with proper intervention, the outcome for
people with autism can exceed all expectations.
Here in Claremont, there was a time
when people with autism wouldnt get to
college, Mr. Pitney said. Now, some of
my students have autism.
The Politics of Autism is available
through Amazon and most major booksellers.

Gratitude is the best attitude
few people stopped by

my home for coffee and
brought donuts with
them. While sharing the sweets
among close friends, one of
them shared a profound story as
he took a bite of his maple bar.
He said the gathering reminded him of
a wonderful little story about a divine
sage. Curious, I asked him to elaborate.
He related that once there was a divine
sage who, while also enjoying a sweet
pastry, noted that the sweet he was eating
had been produced with the help of
10,000 people.
Continuing his discourse, the sage
began to narrate a long chain of people
who were engaged in the production of
the pastry from sowing the seeds of
wheat all the way to its final presentation
at the bakery. Preparing the ground for
the seeds to grow, nurturing and protecting the crops from intruders, harvesting
it, shipping it to the merchants and distributing to retailers and then, finally, the
series of actions taken by the bakers to
prepare this pastry.
All these people were occupied for
this humble man to eat the pastry. Finally, the sage expressed his gratitude to
the people and, above all, the Creator of
the Universe who is the sole provider.
This story struck me deeply and made
me reflect on the process by which we

attain anything.
The moral of the story is: Gratitude is
the best attitude. It is a learned behavior
that is taught by every parent to their offspring. Two expressions are engrained in
all of us as small children: Please and
Thank You.
As we take a closer look into the pages
of world history, we find that mankind
has been observing special days to express their gratitude to God. These are
known as harvest festivals. The days celebrated vary from country to country and
season to season when the crops are harvested. This is a secular exercise and as
such is being observed even today, in
most countries across the world.
From a religious perspective, we observe that all religious scriptures and religious practices advise their followers to
be thankful for the Creator who is most
gracious and ever merciful.
In Islam, the Holy Quran is the divine
scripture in which Muslims believe. The
following verses of the Quran advise believers to be grateful:
(31:13) And We bestowed wisdom to
Luqman, saying, Be grateful to Allah
for whoso is grateful, is grateful for the
good of his own soul. And whoso is ungrateful, then surely, Allah is self-sufficient, Praiseworthy.
Gratitude is being defined by the word

of God as wisdom. And wisdom has
been explained at another place where
Allah says:
And remember the time when your
Lord declared, if you are grateful, I will
surely, bestow more favors to you; but if
you are ungrateful, then know that My
punishment is severe indeed.
Interestingly, this truism of the Holy
Quran was independently investigated
by a researcher at the University of California Davis.
Robert Emmons penned a book entitled How the New Science of Gratitude
Can Make You Happier. Summarizing
the findings from studies to date, Mr.
Emmons says that those who practice
grateful thinking reap emotional, physical and interpersonal benefits.
People who regularly keep a gratitude
journal report fewer illnesses, feel better
about their lives as a whole and are more
optimistic about the future. Mr. Emmons
concludes that gratitude is a choice, one
possible response to our life experiences.
Similarly, in Christianity, we find over
20 to 30 verses in the Bible enjoining us
to be thankful to God and glorify him.
We read in Colossians 3:17: And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of Jesus, giving thanks
to God the Father through him.

Turning to Judaism, we read in the
Talmud the Abrahamic discourse after a
meal is served: Abraham caused Gods
name to be mentioned by all the travelers
whom he entertained. For after they had
eaten and drunk, and when they arose to
bless Abraham, he said to them, Is it of
mine you have eaten? Surely it is of what
belongs to God that you have eaten. So
praise and bless Him by whose word the
world was created. (Talmud, Sota 10b.)
Again it is said: Be not like those
who honor their gods in prosperity and
curse them in adversity. In pleasure or
pain, give thanks. (Makita to Exodus
20:20)
In Buddhism at Plum Village, thanksgiving is celebrated by thanking the parents, loved ones, teachers and our
associates. Similarly, we find in Bhagwat
Gita the sayings of Krishna and inspirational insights to thanksgiving.
We are thankful to our president Abraham Lincoln, who officially dedicated a
day for the nation to express the gratitude
to our Creator in our own ways.
Thus, we see that the act of giving
thanks is shared by all and is a wonderful commonality among all people of
faith. To be thankful is to be human.
I conclude with the first line of the first
chapter in Holy Quran that sums up the
entire thanksgiving message, All praise
belongs to God the Creator of all the
worlds.
by Debbie Carini
n the winter of 1966, I broke my right elbow. I wish

I could say it was in the service of something dramatic like trying to jump off a swing in mid-air and
experience flight (thats how my sister broke her arm),
but it was a nerdy pursuit in the dead of winter.
With the freezing temperatures outside, my sister and
I engaged in indoor activities, usually playing pretend. On this particularly snowy day, my mother was
washing curtains and so we were able to avail ourselves
of a number of curtain rods.
Hey, I said to my sister, lets make these into instruments!
She started moving hers in and out, like a trombone
with a telescoping slide. I pulled mine apart and found
that it was just the right size for a violin and bow.
Though the fiddle is rarely seen in a marching band,
my sister and I decided to have a parade in the basement. As we headed down the stairs, I turned to face
her and assume the role of drum major. And so I was

conducting, playing and walking backwards when I
tripped on a broom that had fallen across a stair tread.
I landed on the concrete floor and when my mother
tried to help me up, pulling my arm, we both realized
something else was wrong.
In those days (a sentence start that makes me feel like
Im about to tell a story about the Great Depression and
not an era generally associated with free love and The
Beatles), our doctor practiced out of his house. My
mother did not have a drivers license or a car so we
walked, or our neighbor my Aunt Margo drove us. It

was late afternoon and the doctor confirmed the break,
but he was too busy to set it so he sent me home for
dinner (knockwurst and sauerkraut) with my arm in a
sling.
Later, he set my arm in old-fashioned plaster. It was
gleaming white and everyone signed it. My Aunt Nada,
an artist, told me she was drawing the White House on
my elbowhow stately, I thought, and was greatly disappointed to see a tall, thin building when I held the
cast up to the mirror. Turns out, she drew a picture of a
lighthouse.
Last month, in an attempt to lessen the effects of too
much Thanksgiving dinner, my husband, son and sons
girlfriend enjoyed a night hike (led by volunteers from
the Sierra Club) in Griffith Park.
I have a little trepidation about hiking; much like
playing music, Im not well-trained in it. Im also a little nervous to be in nature in the dark (albeit the middle of the city of Los AngelesI would honestly prefer
a subway in New York City at 10 p.m). Our hike leader
took us on a couple of treacherous-sounding paths
Cardiac Climb and Ankle-Breaker Path, but I managed.
Perhaps my knees were shaking just a bit, because
once we were on the paved service road heading back
to the car, I took a header onto the gravel, breaking my
fall with my left ribs and wrist. And yes, breaking my
wrist.
So I find myself in another cast, version 2015much
lighter, with a soft sock-like layer against my skin. Im
still tempted to stick a coat hanger down it to scratch
the phantom itches (much like I did when I was 7). And
though Im not collecting signatures on this updated
model, I feel festive and ready for the holidays thanks
to a finishing layer of bright green tape. So if you think
youve spotted the Grinch in disguise, dont worry, its
just me and my chartreuse forearmhappy holidays!
Wilderness Park funding

Dear Editor:
A number of letters have been written
addressing the Claremont Wilderness
Park Master Plan, mostly relating to access, parking, usage, governance and vision. Underlying each of these concerns,
however, is the issue of sustainable funding for the implementation and support
of what should be a resource management plan for the next 20 years.
Speaking as a longtime member of the
Claremont Wildlands Conservancy
Board, a bit of history should be noted
for the records. The last four parcels
added to the park (excluding Johnsons
Pasture) were purchased with grant
money awarded to Claremont from
county or state agencies.
Some of our board were in attendance
and spoke at the session of the Rivers
and Mountains Conservancy considering
Claremonts proposal for our last addition to the park, the Cuevas/Gale Ranch
parcel. A member of that funding
agencys board spoke in favor of awarding Claremonts proposal, for he considered Claremont a community that
assumed stewardship for its hillside
parkland. We received the grant, and
with it the responsibility for providing
sustainable funding.
In addressing the issue of funding, the
draft plan specifies that revenues for
managing the park must come solely
from the parks own parking fees and citations. Interesting to note, since approximately 83 percent of park visitors are
not from Claremont, the vast majority of
revenues supporting the park come from
non-Claremonters.
To continue the stewardship of the
Wilderness Park for which Claremont
has been recognized (and rewarded), efforts to provide sustainable funding must
be clearly defined, with flexibility and
without restricting future city council decisions by denying any use of general
funds for the park, as the current draft
master plan proposes.
READERS COMMENTS
We urge the city to look at other

sources of funding for maintenance, but
also for new programs, projects and acquisition of available land. A potential
source of funding for new improvements
and land acquisition is available through
a mandated Parkland Fee of $4400 paid
by developers for each unit within a development. Several hundred such units
have been built recently in Claremont,
many in the northern area of the city.
In the draft master plan this possible
source of funding is not acknowledged,
but shouldnt it be available for construction of composting toilets or other
new improvements, or land acquisition,
as the Parkland Fee is designed to support? We understand that such funds
have been used recently and in the past
for new improvements in urban parks,
but not at the Wilderness Park.
We applaud the city for initiating the
master plan for the wilderness park, but
suggest it does not adequately address
mechanisms for sustainable funding to
allow proper stewardship now and over
the next 20 years.

Claremont
Give CLU a chance

Dear Editor:
We read with interest Ted Nalls letter
last week regarding Claremont Lincoln
Universitys (CLU) desire to locate in
his neighborhood. Mr. Nall, like most
Claremonters, is naturally protective of
his neighborhood and clearly does not
look forward to the upheaval a large
building project will inflict on the area.
As longtime residents of Claremont,
we certainly understand his stance, but
some of his rhetoric is over-the-top and
very misleading.
Theres little question that the land
owned by the Claremont Unified School
District, former home of La Puerta Jun-
ior High School, will be sold at some

point; and, as Mr. Nall has indicated, that
developer will inflict dirt, mess and construction noise on the neighborhood.
From all weve seen and heard at recent neighborhood meetings, it appears
that Claremont Lincoln University, an
educational institution not a business,
would be a far better neighbor and have
less long-term impact on the neighborhood than a housing development, or any
other possible large-scale, high-density
project. CLU is primarily an online institution, so the increased traffic will be
far less than it might be from any other
development.
The architect selected by CLU is an
experienced, creative and thoughtful individual. He is very sensitive to the
neighborhood concerns and has listened
carefully and with an open mind to the
suggestions and issues raised by the
neighbors. Most developers would never
devote the time and care that CLU officials are investing in this phase of the
process, and in making sure that neighbors concerns are not only heard but addressed.
This site was not the first choice of the
donors or administrators connected with
CLU. They would have much preferred
to be located closer to the center of town
and the other Claremont Colleges. Unfortunately, all of that open land is owned
by the Claremont University Consortium,
and it is being preserved for possible future expansion of the Colleges.
After looking at all available land in
Claremont, CLU settled on the La Puerta
site, with the hope of flipping the park so
the university could have frontage on Indian Hill Boulevard to provide more visibility and easy access and to be less intrusive on the neighborhood.
To call this a lunatic proposal is hyperbole, and characterizing the philanthropists behind the project as nut cases
is insulting and incorrect. Two of us have
known Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln for years,
and they are incredibly generous,
thoughtful and strategic donors. They
have been involved with and have been
remarkably philanthropic to several of
the Claremont Colleges over the years, as
well as to the town of Claremont.
Mrs. Lincoln is an alumna of Scripps
College and Mr. Lincoln has served on
the CGU and the CMC Board of
Trustees. Claremont Lincoln University
is the culmination of the Lincolns longheld vision to increase collaboration and
understanding among all people and to
put wisdom to work in the worldfor
good. Its hard to disagree with that mission considering the current divisiveness
in our country and the world and the most
recent horrific acts of terrorism.
We hope the neighbors will give this
venture a chance and that they will continue to work with the experienced and
dedicated administrators at CLU as they
develop their plans. They are making
every attempt to be transparent and to
listen carefully to the neighborhood. In
the long run, this venture promises to be
an outstanding addition to the prestigious
Claremont Colleges and to produce graduates who will go forth to make this crazy
world a better place.

Kenneth Casey
OBITUARIES
Veteran, industrialist, agriculturalist, family man

Kenneth Ross Casey died on December 4, 2015 in Claremont.He was 95.
He was born in Pomona in 1920 to
John Ransom and Bessie Casey. He grew
up going to Pomona schools, helping tend
his family and friends citrus trees, playing
football and participating in outdoor adventures with the Boy Scouts. After he
graduated from Pomona High School in
1938 he attended Stanford University, following in the footsteps of his older brother
John. Immediately upon graduation in
1942, Mr. Casey enlisted in the US Navy
where he served in the Pacific Theater of
World War II. As a lieutenant, he was assigned to an aircraft carrier in the Aleutian
Islands.
When the war ended, he returned to
Pomona to marry his Pomona High
School classmate Nancy Louise Gillen.
He and his new wife returned to Stanford
University for an additional year, where
he earned his masters in engineering before returning to live in the Pomona Valley. For the next three decades Mr. Casey
was employed at Kaiser Steel, starting in
the roll shop as an engineer and then moving into management. At the end of his career, he served as vice president of
operations. He spent his final years as
president of a fabrication plant, an auxiliary to Kaiser Steel.
When the Caseys first returned to Cal-
joyed following sports, especially the doings of his beloved Stanford football team.
In 1941, Kenneths older brother joined
the team in competing at the Rose Bowl,
a triumphant game in which the Cardinals
beat the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Two
years ago, his son and son-in-law took
him to watch Stanford compete in the
Rose Bowl once again.
Mr. Casey journeyed across Europe,
the United States, Mexico and Canada
with his wife as well as to exotic locales
like China, Greece and Turkey. One of the
couples favorite trips was to eastern
Africa on a safari to see the wild animals.
ifornia, they moved to a La Verne house
located on an orange grove. Mr. Casey
served as manager, waking up in the wee
hours to light the smudge pots that kept
the fruit from freezing during cold
weather. In 1960, the Caseys moved to
Claremont with their son Patrick and
daughter Pamela, but Kenneth remained
active in agricultural enterprises his entire
life. More recently, he was actively involved in the management of an avocado
grove he owned in Temecula.
Upon retirement, Mr. Casey served on
the Board of VEBA, a non-profit organization that managed the retirement funds
of former Kaiser Employees. Mr. Casey
enjoyed golfing and socializing with longtime Pomona Valley friends. He also en-
A devoted family man, he is survived

by his wife of 69 years, Nancy Gillen
Casey; his son and daughter-in-law,
Patrick and Cynthia Casey of Orinda, California; his daughter and son-in-law,
Pamela and Steven Nagler of Claremont,
and his grandchild, Lucia Nagler of Los
Angeles.
A service will be held on Friday, December 11 at 1 p.m. at Todd Memorial
Chapel, 570 N. Garey Ave. in Pomona,
with a graveside service at Pomona Memorial Park Cemetery immediately following.
Neepa Chowdhury
OBITUARIES
Gifted artist, incomparable hostess

Neepa Chowdhury, a longtime Claremont resident, died on October 22, 2015 in
Calcutta, India. She was 82.
Neepa was born in what is now
Bangladesh in 1933, the fourth of 13 children. As the second oldest girl, she learned
early on how to cook daily meals for her
family and to concoct lavish feasts for
guests during Hindu festivals. Amid the
1947 Muslim-Hindu violence following
the partition of India, her parents made the
dangerous trip to settle in Calcutta where
her father began a career in the Indian Civil
Service.
One of the first of Neepas many gifts to
manifest itself was her talent as an artist.
She was equally at home creating boldly
arresting paintings and uniquely tactile ceramic pieces. She earned her degree from
the Government College of Art and Craft
in Calcutta and received multiple awards
for her art. Her work was shown in prestigious exhibits in Calcutta, Manila and later
Claremont.
Neepa married journalist Amitabha
Chowdhury in 1959. Following the birth of
their son Neel in 1968, the family moved
to the Philippines for 14 years where the
couples second child Shome was born in
1971. While Mr. Chowdhury established
the Press Foundation of Asia (PFA) in
Manila and Asian Finance magazine in
Hong Kong as well as serving as a columnist for many Asian newspapers, Mrs.
Chowdhury was honing her phenomenal
skills as an entertainer. She also became a
discerning collector of the striking artifacts that many Claremonters remember in
their home.
In 1978, the family had to leave the

Philippines because of the political turmoil surrounding the Marcos regime. They
bought a home in Claremont and the boys
entered Sycamore School. Mrs. Chowdhury enrolled in the Pitzer College art department where she was mentored by and
friend to both Carl and Susan Hertel. After
graduation from Pitzer, she continued on to
Claremont Graduate University and received her Master of Fine Arts in 1985.
Susan Seymour, Pitzers former dean
of faculty, recalls that Mrs. Chowdhury
returned many times to Pitzer, professionally as head cook and manager for the
Grove House and as a volunteer cook for
the annual International Place dinner at
McConnell Center.
Neepa was an indispensable volunteer
for all of the local organizations and causes
she believed in, said Charlene Martin,
longtime director of International Place at
the Claremont Colleges. She hosted international students, cooked for hundreds
of people, went on camping trips in her sari
and sandals and was an enduring, charismatic presence at innumerable events for
the Community Friends of International
Students and for the League of Women
Voters fundraisers.
According to former Claremont Mayor
Diann Ringwho had the chance to see
Mrs. Chowdhury in action through her involvement with International Place and
the League of Women VotersNeepas
skill and efficiency were a sight to behold.
She was unflappable when asked to
help with any cooking task, Ms. Ring
marveled. I have seen her rotate 250
chicken thighs, 40 or so at a time, on an
outdoor grill in 90-degree weather and in
bare feet.
Mrs. Chowdhury also showcased her
unrivaled hospitality in the vibrant homes
she and her husband Amitabha made in
Claremont, first on 12th Street and later at
the corner of Harrison and Mountain avenues.
Both places were always filled with
eclectic art, a heterogeneous group of interesting people and heavenly Indian cuisine, Russ Martin recalled. People from
all over the world, and from all strata of the
community, were made to feel uniquely
welcome in Neepas home. This ability to
connect with people of all ages, all
lifestyles and all ethnicities was perhaps

her most profound talent and unique gift.
All who knew her received the boon of her
hospitality, friendship and food.
Mrs. Chowdhury enjoyed many close,
deep and long-term personal friendships
throughout Claremont and the wider
world. She cared wholeheartedly for her
friends and their families, enjoying their
children and enriching all of their lives.
Neepa is survived by her husband
Amitabha in Calcutta; son Neel, his wife
Pooja and their daughter Ishika in Singapore; son Shome, his wife Jigna, their son
Devan and their daughter Sonkia in Irvine;
and by eight brothers and sisters and their
families.
An upcoming memorial for Neepa will
be held at Pitzer College. Her son Shone
said there was never any question as to
where to hold the event, considering his
mother lived, laughed and loved in Claremont for 33 years.
Even though she moved back to India
in 2011, her heart continued to be in Claremont, he said. Claremont was love at
first sight. It is fitting she will be celebrated and remembered in the place she
loved so much and nurtured with such devotion.
The celebration of life is set for Sunday,
December 20 from 2 to 4 p.m. in the
Founders Room of the McConnell Center
at Pitzer College. All are welcome.

OBITUARIES
Engineer, loving father and friend

Vincent Kwok died on Monday, November 2, 2015 at Citrus Valley Hospice & Home Health. He was 55.
He was born in Saigon, Vietnam on
March 23, 1960 to Huan Quach
(Kwok) and Phung Lam. The youngest
brother in a family of 12 children, he
grew up with five brothers and six sisters. On April 27, 1975, he and most of
his family members escaped Vietnam
as refugees to Guam and then settled in
Los Angeles.
Mr. Kwok received his high school
diploma from Crescenta Valley High
School in La Crescenta and earned his
bachelors degree in computer engineering at Cal Poly Pomona. He de-
voted his career to serving the country

in the aerospace industry. He was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-Day Saints (LDS) and was subsequently married in the same church.
He was a caring father to his two
daughters, emphasizing the importance
of education and hard work in achieving success.
In his spare time, Vincent traveled
widely, with destinations including
France, Italy, China and his homeland
of Vietnam as well as Mexico and
Egypt. He was always willing to challenge himself and managed to complete
the 2015 LA marathon. Mr. Kwok was
a loving brother, parent and friend who

Marjorie Case
Loving wife and mother, volunteer
Marjorie Jean Adams Case died peacefully on December 3, 2015 at Pomona
Valley Hospital. She was 93.
Marjorie, or Dean as many called her,
was born on January 30, 1922 at Pomona
Valley Hospital to Wilbur and Lillian
Adams, longtime citrus ranchers in the
Pomona Valley. She graduated from
Pomona College and married L. William
Case in 1942. After World War II, they
moved into a house they built in Claremont on old Cucamonga Avenue among
the oak trees. The couple soon welcomed
three children.
Mrs. Case was a homemaker as well as
a part-time secretary for the floral department at the LA County Fair, and later
worked at the Claremont Colleges for 15
years before retiring. A sense of community was very important to Dean. She was
a member of the Pomona Congregational
Church Fellowship group and then a
member of the Claremont United Congregational Church. She was also a docent

Claremont has first-ever menorah lighting at city hall
ozens of Claremonters convened

at city hall Wednesday evening to
celebrate the lighting of the menorah and the Hanukkah holiday.
Rabbi Sholom Harlig of Chabad Inland Empire

was on hand to lead the festivities, as were Mayor
Corey Calaycay and Pomona Mayor Eliott Rothman.
City Manager Tony Ramos, Mayor Pro Tem Sam Pedroza and Councilmember Larry Schroeder were also
present. It was the first time the Hanukkah celebration
was held at city hall.
The lighting of the menorah took place in front of
the council chamber on the patio, which served as a
perfect spot for revelers to mingle. According to
Rabbi Harlig, the lighting of the menorah at dusk
chases away the forces of darkness during the holiday.
The little light in the darkness represents our good
deeds, Rabbi Harlig said. And that is why were
here.
Traditional Jewish songs were played by members
of various temples in the area, including Temple Beth
Israel in Pomona. Children from the Chabad Hebrew
School sang songs, including I Have a Little Dreidel. Latkes and donuts were also available to ring in
the holiday spirit for anyone wishing to indulge.
Were really happy to do it over here, Rabbi
Harlig said, in reference to the location in front of city
hall. He added that Chabad has recently opened another branch in Claremont that deals with students,
which is helmed by Rabbi Yossi Matusof and his wife
Rochel.
Weve been living in Claremont for two and a half
years now, Rabbi Matusof said. Its really a beautiful community here.
Mr. Calaycay was given the honor of lighting the
shamash, or first candle, on the menorah.
Its an honor that we were able to do this in Claremont, Mr. Calaycay said. For years, Rabbi Harlig

Mendy Harlig helps Claremont Mayor Corey Calaycay light the Shamash, or center candle on the menorah, on
Wednesday during a Hanukkah ceremony in Claremont. The event marks the first time that a menorah has been
lit at Claremont City Hall.
has invited me over to Upland and weve celebrated

in Upland. And last year, he asked me about having
this in Claremont, so Im glad were able to do this.
Mr. Calaycay also highlighted the strong interfaith
community in Claremont. So its nice to be able to
share these traditions with all our community mem-
bers here in the city, he said.

Human Services Director Anne Turner coordinated
with Chabad of the Inland Empire to put on the event.
According to Ms. Turner, city representatives met
with the Chabad to plan the commemoration as far
back as February.
During his speech, Mr. Calaycay touched upon recent events in the region that have cast darkness over
the area and stressed the importance of coming together.
n light of some of the unfortunate violence weve experienced

in the world and in our local
community here, its important that we
come together during this holiday season
to remember the tenets of what this season
is all about, Mr. Calaycay said. Joy, happiness, peace, harmony, love and the religious traditions that go with this season.

CHS junior Jai Williams attempts to regain control of the ball
after Rancho Cucamongas Juliann Salinas tried to steal it
during the first round of the Claremont tournament.
CHS girls suffer tough loss

after big Rancho comeback
t may be a worn-out clich, but the Claremont High School

girls basketball team found out Tuesday night that its not
over until its over. In a stunning turnaround, Claremont lost
to Rancho Cucamonga, 52-50, even though they were up by 12
points at the end of the third quarter and led nearly the entire
game.
It certainly was a disappointing way to start the 20th annual
Wolfpack Classic girls basketball tournament, which runs
through Friday at CHS.
Both teams had their struggles. It seemed the Cougars were
called for traveling every other possession but, for the first half,
Claremont had much better shooting and developed a commanding lead.
To start the second half, the Cougars switched to a man-toman coverage on defense that threw Claremonts game off, according to coach Darryl Kennedy. As a result, Claremont came
up empty for their first seven possessions of the third quarter and
only got four field goals the entire second half.
They went man-to-man on us late in the game. We kind of
tightened up. We didnt execute the way we needed to against
the man-to-man, but we know how to do it because we have
been in tougher games than this, said Coach Kennedy. Composure, we have to show some more composure.
Claremont has a very young team with six sophomores,
four juniors and one freshman but no seniors. As a result, they
have a big opportunity to mature together as a team. On Tuesday, they did show a depth in the ranks with seven players scoring at least one goal and two topping 10 points.
Sophomore Camille Troncone was the Packs top scorer at
14, and demonstrated her potential to be a real leader on the
court.
Camille is one of our captains. She is really strong inside and
out and very mature for a sophomore, said Coach Kennedy.
Tuesdays game came down to the fourth quarter, when the
Cougars came alive just as the Pack went cold. Destiny Dent,
Ranchos top scorer, hit a three-point shot to open the quarter.
Meanwhile, Rancho went on the offensive, fouling Troncone
nearly every time she touched the ball, which was fortunate because all the Packs seven points were free throws.
During the final quarter, Rancho scored 21 points, culminating with a series of plays in the final minute. The Cougars
Megan Chimwaza tied the game with 20 seconds to go and then
Claremont sophomore Laurel Marchants lay-up failed to fall.
Coach Kennedy quickly called a time-out. It looked like the
game was headed for overtime but as CHS put the ball in play,
Chimwaza stole it and got an easy lay-up in the final seconds
to clinch the win.
This year, were looking to matureto understand the situations to understand how the game is played and then make
the right adjustments, said Coach Kennedy. We are a young
team still learning and growing but we are in a fight every time
we step on the court.
On Wednesday they lost again to Chaffey, 39-36, in the second round of the Wolfpack Classic. With the loss, the teams
record is 6-3. They hope to turn things around with games on
Thursday and Friday.

other charges: $33,402.53 The purported property
address is: 1252 REIMS STREET, CLAREMONT, CA 91711 Assessors Parcel No.: 8304013-031 NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS:
If you are considering bidding on this property lien,
you should understand that there are risks involved
in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding
on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the
highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the
property. You should also be aware that the lien
being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are
the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be
responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien
being auctioned off, before you can receive clear
title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding
liens that may exist on this property by contacting
the county recorders office or a title insurance
company, either of which may charge you a fee for
this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender
may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust
on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY
OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of
sale may be postponed one or more times by the
mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant
to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The
law requires that information about trustee sale
postponements be made available to you and to the
public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.
If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been
postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time
and date for the sale of this property, you may call
916.939.0772 for information regarding the
trustees sale or visit this Internet Web site
http://www.qualityloan.com , using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA15-661189-CL . 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.
The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for
any incorrectness of the property address or other
common designation, if any, shown herein. If no
street address or other common designation is
shown, directions to the location of the property
may be obtained by sending a written request 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
bidders sole and exclusive remedy shall be the
return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the
successful bidder shall have no further recourse.
If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the 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 loan in which case this letter is
intended to exercise the note holders rights against
the real property only. As required by law, you are
hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a
credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms

CLAREMONT
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF
DECEMBER 8, 2015
(Full text of this ordinance is on file in the office
of the City Clerk and in the document archives
on the City website: www.ci.claremont.ca.us)
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF CLAREMONT, AMENDING
SECTION 10.48.010 OF THE CLAREMONT
MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO THE
SPEED LIMITS ON CERTAIN STREETS
Summary of Ordinance
The Ordinance amends the speed limits as follows:
A. ALAMOSA DRIVE
1. Mills Avenue to Padua Avenue: A traffic survey has
determined the 85th percentile speed to be 33 mph, and
based thereon a prima facie speed limit of 30 mph is determined to be reasonable, safe, and most appropriate to
facilitate the orderly movement of traffic of said street.
B. AUTO CENTER DRIVE
1. Indian Hill Boulevard to End: A traffic survey has

C. CAMBRIDGE AVENUE
1. Arrow Highway to Bonita Avenue: A traffic survey
has determined the 85th percentile speed to be 35 mph,
and based thereon a prima facie speed limit of 35 mph is
determined to be reasonable, safe, and most appropriate
to facilitate the orderly movement of traffic of said street.
D. CLAREMONT BOULEVARD
1. Arrow Highway to First Street: A traffic survey has
determined the 85th percentile speed to be 34 mph,
and based thereon a prima facie speed limit of 35 mph
is determined to be reasonable, safe, and most appropriate to facilitate the orderly movement of traffic of
said street.
2. First Street to Sixth Street: A traffic survey has determined the 85th percentile speed to be 42 mph, and
3. Sixth Street to Foothill Boulevard: A traffic survey
said street.
4. Foothill Boulevard to Monte Vista Avenue: A traffic survey has determined the 85th percentile speed to
be 42 mph, and based thereon a prima facie speed limit
of 40 mph is determined to be reasonable, safe, and
most appropriate to facilitate the orderly movement of
traffic of said street.
E. COLLEGE AVENUE
1. First Street to Sixth Street: A traffic survey has determined the 85th percentile speed to be 26 mph, and based
thereon a prima facie speed limit of 25 mph is determined to be reasonable, safe, and most appropriate to facilitate the orderly movement of traffic of said street.
2. Sixth Street to Foothill Boulevard: A traffic survey
said street.
F. GAREY AVENUE
1. Arlington Drive to College Way: A traffic survey
said street.
G. INDIAN HILL BOULEVARD
1. American Avenue to San Jose Avenue: A traffic
survey has determined the 85th percentile speed to be
31 mph, and based thereon a prima facie speed limit
2. San Jose Avenue to Arrow Highway: A traffic survey has determined the 85th percentile speed to be 43
mph, and based thereon a prima facie speed limit of 40
mph is determined to be reasonable, safe, and most
appropriate to facilitate the orderly movement of traffic of said street.
3. Arrow Highway to First Street: A traffic survey has
said street.
4. First Street to Bonita Avenue: A traffic survey has
said street.
5. Bonita Avenue to Eighth Street: A traffic survey
has determined the 85th percentile speed to be 36 mph;
however, said speed is more than is reasonable or safe
upon said street, but a prima facie speed limit of 30
mph is reasonable, safe, and most appropriate to facilitate the orderly movement of traffic based on: (a) the
significant curvature in the roadway which limits sight
distance and reaction time for drivers exiting from
Fourth Street and from Sixth Street; (b) the numerous
driveway movements in this residential section of Indian Hill Boulevard, which conflict with the increased
traffic volumes during peak commuter periods; and,
(c) the high pedestrian use by elementary school children at the intersection of Indian Hill Boulevard and
Eighth Street.
6. Base Line Road to Armstrong Drive: A traffic survey has determined the 85th percentile speed to be 43
mph; and based thereon a prima facie speed limit of 40
mph is determined to be reasonable, safe, and most
appropriate to facilitate the orderly movement of traffic of said street.
H. LASSEN AVENUE
1. Scottsbluff Drive to Lindenwood Drive: A traffic
I. MILLS AVENUE
1. Foothill Boulevard to Base Line Road: A traffic
45 mph; however, said speed is more than is reasonable or safe upon said street, but a prima facie speed
limit of 40 mph is reasonable, safe, and most appropriate to facilitate the orderly movement of traffic
based on: (a) the large amount of pedestrian and bicycle traffic on this roadway, associated with the adjacent elementary school and park, and the use of Mills
Avenue as the bicycle route to the Claremont Hills
Wilderness Park; and, (b) the significant number of
driveways adjacent to Mills Avenue (which serve the
residential properties), and the resulting conflicts with
oncoming traffic which would present safety concerns
if the speed limit were to be established at 45 mph.
J. MIRAMAR AVENUE
1. Mills Avenue to Padua Avenue: A traffic survey has
said street.
K. MOUNTAIN AVENUE
1. Bonita Avenue to Harrison Avenue: A traffic survey has determined the 85th percentile speed to be 32
mph; however, said speed is more than is reasonable
or safe upon said street, but a prima facie speed limit
of 25 mph is reasonable, safe, and most appropriate to
facilitate the orderly movement of traffic based on: (a)
the use of Mountain Avenue as a major bicycle and

pedestrian route for school-age children enroute to El

Roble Intermediate School and Mountain View Elementary; and, (b) the narrow width of the roadway
does adequately accommodate bicycle traffic, requiring bicyclists to often take the lane, which presents
safety concerns for school-age bicyclists.

M. SHENANDOAH DRIVE
1. Lindenwood Drive to Claremont Boulevard: A traffic survey has determined the 85th percentile speed to be

25 mph is determined to be reasonable, safe, and most
appropriate to facilitate the orderly movement of traffic
of said street.

P. TOWNE AVENUE
1. Foothill Boulevard to Base Line Road: A traffic survey has determined the 85th percentile speed to be 45
mph; however, said speed is more than is reasonable or
safe upon said street, but a prima facie speed limit of 40
mph is reasonable, safe, and most appropriate to facilitate the orderly movement of traffic based on the following consideration:
Towne Avenue is identified as a Safe Routes to
School zone, and serves as the re-directed travel route
for the Thompson Creek Regional Trail, which was affected by the construction of the I-210 freeway. The reassignment of the roadway places pedestrian and
bicycle traffic in direct conflict with high volumes of
commuter traffic at the I-210 freeway on and off ramps,
and the approaches to the bridge. Establishing the 40
mph speed zone would serve to reduce these conflicts.
Q. WILLIAMS AVENUE
1. Foothill Boulevard to Base Line Road: A traffic survey has determined the 85th percentile speed to be 41
mph; however, said speed is more than is reasonable or
safe upon said street, but a prima facie speed limit of 35
mph is reasonable, safe, and most appropriate to facilitate the orderly movement of traffic based on: (a) the residential nature of the roadway, and the number of access
movements from the numerous driveways on both the
east and west sides of the roadway; (b) several intersecting streets have limited sight distance when exiting onto
Williams, and the exiting car is not readily visible to oncoming traffic; and, (c) several intersecting streets are narrow in width, and drivers must slow down significantly
to make turning movements from Williams Avenue.

The recent sale of our Claremont home presented some very

unique challenges. Carlos and Pat handled my former home
as if it were their own. They kept me informed,
responded with professionalism and reassurance, and made
sure that as their customers, my ex-husband and I were their
top priority. The house ended up selling for higher than
asking price. I recommend Carlos and Pat Samuelson with
complete confidence and a heart full of gratitude.
