Dear Editor: Douglas Lyons tirade against the Supreme Courts decisions on marriage equality raised the specter of the degradation of the well-being of our children, so I thought it worthwhile to toss my hat in the ring. My wife and I have been madly in love for 20 years, co-parents for 13 years and federally recognized as a couple for, oh, about 19 days now. She supported me in attaining a PhD. I supported her in starting her own business, teaching violence prevention skills to children and teens. We adopted 2 sons from the foster care system when they were each almost 6 years old. Both boys (born into traditional families, incidentally) were exposed to abuse, neglect and criminal activity. Both were considered difficult to place. They are now 18 and 13. Our elder son, having been prenatally exposed to drugs, struggles with learning disabilities. Our younger son struggled for years with behavioral issues associated with trauma. Today, thanks to the support of great neighbors, wonderful teachers and their loving moms, the boys are doing fine. The 18-year-old has a full-time summer job and a post-graduation position in forestry, while the younger, an honor roll student at El Roble and member of California Junior Scholarship Federation, is spending his summer volunteering with both the Red Cross and Danbury swim programs on weekdays, sometimes for sev-
eral hours a day. He also has his own dogwalking business. You may have seen him, Mr. Lyons, decked out in Dodgers gear and happily trotting around the Village, working to earn money for college or more baseball paraphernalia (depending on how well the Dodgers are doing: he is, after all, only 13). Were fortunate to live in Claremont, a welcoming community in which our sons have always proudly introduced us as their two moms and have never felt the kind of shame about their family that some adults try to kindle. And were proud of our boys, who know how to demonstrate open-minded maturity, respect and kindness for people from all kinds of families, even those that don't look like ours.

CORRECTION In the Friday, July 12 edition, the name of the president of the Kiwanis Club of Claremont, Jim Covey, was misspelled. We apologize for the error. adopt a child, it is not an accident. It is a deliberate act expressing their determination to provide a loving home for a child bereft of either a father or a mother. This is one of the great ironies of opposing adoption by gay partners: the children they adopt have been failed by heterosexual couples who have abandoned their children to the foster care system. Let me emphasize this factgay couples provide loving homes to children abandoned by their birth parents. When the nuclear family fails, the same-sex couple provides a secure place for that child to thrive. Remind me again about the superiority of the nuclear family. Mark Merritt Claremont
The wisdom of gay marriage

Dear Editor: Employing his usual discursive style, Douglas Lyon takes 578 words to question the wisdom of gay marriage (COURIER, July 12). On the winding road, he criticizes our mayor (implicitly), chides the Supreme Court, and touches briefly on incest, 5000 years of human history, moral hubris, racial discrimination and the superiority of the nuclear family. Your prejudice is clearly on display. Where is your evidence? When 2 people of the same gender

CITY NEWS
Sustainable Plan on clear road to council approval
n update to Claremonts Sustainable City Plan may be in the worksdue before city council this fallbut recent reports indicate things in the City of Trees may be right on track.
According to the latest sustainability report card, presented earlier this month, the city is either meeting or exceeding 90 percent of the goals outlined in the Sustainable City Plan, originally adopted in 2008. These goals include reducing waste, encouraging sustainable building practices and encouraging fossil-fuel-free transportation. We have been fairly consistent, said Chris Veirs, senior planner and sustainability coordinator for the city. In 2010, about 78 percent of our target areas were exceeding or meeting our goals. In 2012 we were actually approaching 90 percent. We are making steady progress, as we hoped. Mr. Veirs noted particular areas of growth, like the influx of sustainable housing developments courtesy of the Claremont Colleges and the recent green affordable housing building on College Avenue. Earlier this year, the city completed the Sycamore Canyon Park Restoration Project, another longterm goal, and officials continue to implement educational programs through the Claremont Safe Routes to School and Pedestrian Education programs. The most notable accomplishments over the past year include the Community Home Energy Retrofit Project meeting its goal of retrofitting 130 homes and the city receiving outside kudos with a silver designation from both the League of American Bicyclists and California Green Communities. Claremont was among the first in southern California to receive the silver status from California Green Communities. Though city officials had much to celebrate, it wasnt all accolades. Mr. Veirs noted that the city continues to fall below or behind target in 4 areas, most notable in energy consumption

and water usage. When the Sustainable City Plan was first adopted, committee members proposed that electrical energy consumption in the city of Claremont be reduced by 20 percent of 2003 levels by 2015. While the city has adopted a number of energy efficiency measuresincluding the installation of a new solar power system at the City Yard in late 2011equaling savings of nearly $62,000 per year, it hasnt been enough to meet the intended target. This is partially due to extensive energy use at Padua Park. Community-wide electricity use hasnt been much better. Instead of seeing a reduction, the city saw a 3.5 percent increase in residential electricity usage. While energy usage remained the same or slightly above expected levels, water usage jumped more significantly this year, with the citys usage increasing by 42 percent, according to the report. Mr. Veirs noted that increase took the city from 18 percent below the baseline in 2011 to 19 percent have that line the following year. Hotter temperatures and sports field rehabilitation contributed to this spiked number, according to Mr. Veirs, also noting that 2012 was the driest year on record. Residential usage also increased, though the rise was less dramatic. Usage rose by 6 percent, from 23.7 percent below the baseline to 18 percent below. Mr. Veirs again noted it was primarily because of the weather. Sustainability Committee members will revisit these goals as they move forward with updating the Sustainable
City Plan. It could be that the targets were set too high and need to be reworked, according to committee member Freeman Allen. Reducing the amount of energy we consume is going to be terribly difficult, he acknowledged, while also recognizing the difficulty of reducing water usage with the increasing climate change. While people are conserving energy by having their homes retrofitted, they are also adding TV sets and various other electronic equipment that is plugged in all the time so it cancels out, he continued. People are adding more electronic equipment. What we need to be doing is thinking about how we are going to replace that energy usage with other alternative sources. It will also mean finding ways to increase public engagement, Councilmember Joe Lyons pointed out. Its going to really become apparent that, to move any of these goals forward the community at large is going to have do some heavy lifting, Mr. Lyons said. No longer can they be considered optional to engage in.
city eliminate the city arborist position in favor of contracting the position out. Both historic and irreplaceable street and park trees...are historic markers of this town and such trees are easily killed by lack of water and bad pruning evident throughout the city, Ray Fowler expressed to the council in a letter.
The citys pruning of many historic treesto fit a trash truck purchase decision and cheaper pruning costs or for whatever causewithout an experienced certified arborist on the staff to balance internal City Hall staff decisions as they are being made, has been done in a manner that may negatively impact the continued viability of Claremonts important trees, he added. City Manager Tony Ramos asserts that the city continues to comply with professional pruning standards. He also noted that the tree trimming policy will be reviewed as part of the update to the Sustainable City Plan, and will be brought back to council. Residents are invited to join the discussion. The next meeting of the Sustainable City Committee will tentatively take place on August 5, according to Mr. Veirs. For more information, visit www.ci.claremont.ca.us or call 3995460. Beth Hartnett

State court clears the way for rapists release from prison
California appeals court has declined to intervene in the imminent release of a serial rapist who formerly resided in Claremont.
The Sixth District Court of Appeals Tuesday denied a writ filed by District Attorney Jackie Lacey earlier this month. Ms. Lacey challenged the re-release of 62year-old Christopher Evans Hubbart into the Los Angeles area after he admittedly raped more than 40 women. In May, Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Gilbert T Brown granted the conditional release of Mr. Hubbart, previously referred to as the pillowcase rapist, after Mr. Hubbart passed a psychological examination. Mr. Hubbart would not be a danger to others due to his diagnosed mental disorder while under supervision and treatment in the community, the judge sustained. According to city officials, the Department of Mental Health (DMH) must notify Claremont Police Chief Paul Cooper at least 15 days prior to the submission of a release location to the Superior Court. The LA County District Attorney will also be notified of the proposed location and all notified agencies will be afforded time to submit comments to the DMH and the court. The court will consider these comments before a final decision is made on where Mr. Hubbart will be released. In the meantime, a placement agency is working with the DMH to establish housing for Mr. Hubbart. His release is conditional upon an appropriate placement. Mr. Hubbartwho has been described by a state official as uncontrollably compulsivehas spent the past 30 years in prison and state mental hospitals. He is currently housed at Coalinga State Hospital pending his release, projected to be later this year. At that time he will be subject to 24-hour surveillance with a GPS
ankle bracelet, and drug and polygraph tests as well as a curfew, according to the terms of release. He was first arrested in 1972 in connection with a series of rapes in Los Angeles and San Bernardino County. In 1982, Mr. Hubbart returned to confinement, convicted of rape with force, oral copulation with force and 5 counts of burglary. Roughly 2 weeks after his parole, he returned to Vacaville in 1990 for false imprisonment. His parole was again cut short a few years later when he failed a routine psychological exam. He has remained in prison since 1994, repeatedly failing psychological examinations. But after completing another treatment program last year, Mr. Hubbart was able to pass the test and has asked to be released. Though Mr. Hubbart no longer has connections to Claremont or Los Angeles County, local legislators remain guarded. In a letter dated July 11, the city of Claremont asked the court to reconsider the location of Mr. Hubbarts release. Our community is very opposed to having him reside here, Mayor Nasiali wrote. Mr. Hubbart should not be released into or anywhere near a college town to prey upon unwary students. Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich shared his dismay at the courts ruling. The courts ruling is very disappointing, Mr. Antonovich said in a statement. This court ignored the years of residency established in Santa Clara County and the fact that Hubbart has no family ties to Los Angeles County. Claremont officials released a statement Wednesday afternoon noting that the city is well-informed of the Welfare and Institutions Code that governs the Department of Mental Health and the process for releasing Mr. Hubbart into the community. We will act aggressively by using our legal rights to oppose his release to our city.
Beth Hartnett news@claremont-courier.com
The city of Claremonts press release regarding the release of rapist Christopher Hubbart: On July 16, the Sixth District Court of Appeals denied a writ asking the court to deny convicted serial rapist Christopher Hubbarts release into Los Angeles County. The Los Angeles County District Attorney sought to block Hubbarts release into the county. Hubbart is scheduled to be released in November 2013. Several media outlets have inaccurately reported that Hubbart will be released into Claremont. The Department of Mental Health (DMH) has not notified the City of Claremont of his release into the Claremont community. A placement agency is working with the DMH to select a placement location that will comply with the conditions of his release. The Department of Mental Health must notify our Police Chief at least 15 days prior to the submission of a release location to the Superior Court. The Los Angeles County District Attorney will also be notified of the proposed placement location and all notified agencies may submit comments to the Department of Mental Health and the court. The court will consider these comments before a decision is made. Claremont will submit protest comments if notification is received that Mr. Hubbart is to be released into the area. The LA County District Attorney is petitioning the California Supreme Court to block his release to LA County. The City is working closely with the LA County District Attorneys office, Supervisor Gloria Molina, and Supervisor Antonovich to ensure the welfare of our residents is protected. Additionally, the City has contacted the offices of Assemblyman Chris Holden and Senator Carol Liu for their support. Claremont is well informed of the Welfare and Institutions Code that governs the Department of Mental Health and the process for releasing Mr. Hubbart into the community. We will act aggressively by using our legal rights to oppose his release to our city.
Thursday, July 11 A parched man found the remedy to quench his thirst at Vons Thursday afternoon. Twenty-one liters of Jack Daniels apparently did the trick. The man was spotted on surveillance footage carting off $400 worth of the Tennessee whiskey to whet his whistle. He is described as having shoulder-length, wavy blonde hair and was wearing Vans tennis shoes, black pants and a button-down at the time of the incident.

Lakers fan uses window to make escape with jewelry

On the afternoon of Wednesday, July 10, a man returned home in time to watch $4500 worth of jewelry go out the window. He entered through the front door of his home in the 300 block of Armstrong Drive to find a black male wearing a purple Lakers jersey jumping out the bathroom window with a box of stolen goods, according to Detective Robert Ewing. The crook was able to make off with the jewelry courtesy of a The truck hadnt made it very far. The vehicle was found parked just a block away from the crime scene with the bike still in the truck bed. The men were long gone, however, and so was a residents Honda Civic. Officers believe the Civic was taken by the men who left behind the truck, which investigation revealed was stolen from Brea. A police report was taken, but the Civic has not been found. **** The week got off to a rough start for residents of an apartment complex in the 900 block of West Arrow Highway, targeted in 2 costly burglaries within a 24hour period. Between Monday, July 15 at 6 p.m. and 1 p.m. the following day, 2 carsboth early 2000s Honda Accordswere found missing their catalytic converters. The damage is worth an estimated $4000 getaway driver parked down the street. The thief is believed to be in his 20s, about 6 feet tall and weighing 180 pounds. The car he took off in was described as a 2004-2005 Toyota Corolla. The homeowner admitted to officers the bathroom window had been left unlocked and open. Police remind residents to lock all doors and windows before leaving the house.
Sunday, July 14 Eric Lawson, 43, of La Verne, didnt get the late night snack he was looking for in the wee hours of Sunday morning. While at the time it may have seemed like a good idea to bang on the back door of Dominos, located at 366 W. Foothill Blvd., it just got him unnecessary attention and still left him with no pizza. After giving up on his midnight meal, Mr. Lawson took off, but not before police could catch up with him. He was arrested for driving under the influence. **** A couple of crooks took it upon themselves to help with the renovation of a rental property in the 100 block of Villanova Drive, entering the home through an unlocked window and attempting to take a few of the appliancesa refriger-
ator and stove, according to reports. Thankfully, their strength didnt match their drive. An attempted burglary report was taken. **** Bernardo Lopez, 46, of Claremont gave the old saying hanging from the rafters new meaning. Police arrived to the Lopez home in the 2300 block of North Mills Avenue around 10:30 p.m. after reports of a possible fight in progress. After some sleuthing, Mr. Lopez was found hiding from police in the rafters of the garage, according to Det. Robert Ewing. Mr. Lopez, wanted for an outstanding warrant, was arrested. Monday, July 15 Committing a crime in broad daylight was all part of the ruse. A crook was spotted taking a bicyclefrom the front yard of a home in the 1600 block of Denver Drive, according to Det. Ewing. The man threw the bike into the back of a waiting red Toyota Tacoma and took off, according to Det. Ewing. Police were able to obtain the trucks license plate number, and entered it into the citys Automated License Plate reader program in order to find the trucks location. But the plate was mysteriously absent from the system. It didnt take officers long to figure out why.
Wednesday, July 17 More than a year later, one mans wrongdoings are finally catching up with him. Unbeknownst to 31-year-old Daniel Moreno of Uplandwanted for a residential burglary that occurred back in 2011he left behind an undeniable calling card that finally put him behind bars. Mr. Moreno claimed he was not involved in the burglary, which took place in October 2011. His DNA claimed otherwise. Blood was found smeared on the door of the Bonnie Brae Avenue home burglarized, and positively identified to be that of Mr. Morenos. The blood work had the final word in that case. A warrant was served and Mr. Moreno finally went to jail.

Boon companions?
by Sue Schenk
ompanion planting is based on the idea that certain combinations of plants affect each other in terms of growth or infestation by pests. All plants leak substances into the soil from their roots, and some release substances into the air. These chemicals may harm nearby plants, a form of competition called allelopathy.
Black walnuts are notorious for soil contamination, although not all plants are adversely affected, and there is also evidence from studies on sagebrush that airborne chemicals can stunt the growth of some nearby species. Clover and many other legumes have root bacteria that fix nitrogen and improve the soil if tilled ina natural way to fertilize. But will growing marigolds next to tomatoes reduce tomato worms? Will tansy repel Cabbage whites? Does parsley make your asparagus grow better, and do beets grow badly next to pole beans? There is very little scientific evidence about this subject, but some recent work is quite interesting. Stan Finch and Rosemary Collier in the UK grew cabbages in bare soil, in soil covered in clover and in soil covered in model plants made out of green paper. They found that there was significantly less damage due to 8 different pest species in the plots covered with clover or plant models. Tests using 24 other plant species, including aromatic ones, as ground cover showed no difference

SUSTAINABILITY
from using clover or the models. It looks like the simple fact of camouflaging the cabbage plants with other green stuff is enough to deter pests. Finch and Collier suggest that the pests detect their target plant odor, fly there and then land on something green. The insects test several leaves, and if not enough of them are cabbage, they fly to another green area before laying eggs. They also seem to spend more time on the non-host plant leaves, which means less time is available to infest the host plants. So it looks like anything else green will help deter pests (a later study suggested gray-leaved plants or ones with lots of flowers that hide the leaves are less effective). Another group of experimenters tested the effect of companion plants or bags of aromatic substances on Japanese beetle attack on roses. None of the treated bushes showed less damage than the control plants and geraniums actually increased beetle numbers, as did sachets of a number of aromatics such as fennel seeds, cedar and red pepper. Similar results occurred in a study evaluating companion planting and plant-based sprays on infestation of potatoes by Colorado potato beetles. Of the plant-based sprays, only neem spray was effective. So, the take-home lesson: although gardening lore includes the idea that certain combinations of plants im-
prove growth and health and/or yield of nearby plants, there isnt a lot of scientific evidence for this. However, its also true that there is no reason not to try different groupings out anyway and see what happensat the very least, it can make the vegetable garden prettier! Although a ground cover plant may use additional water, it may also provide a living mulch and reduce both water loss due to evaporation from bare soil and the number of weeds so the effects may balance out somewhat. A ground cover might also be chosen to produce another crop. If you decide to experiment with some companion plantings or ground covers, consider including a control group along with the test group. Plant 2 sets of your test species as far apart as you can and then add the companion plants only near one set. Not a truly scientific experimental design, but it should give some information. Record your observations about growth and visits by pests and pollinators, take photos, and let us know via email at gardenclub@sustainableclaremont.org if something seems to work. Well get the information out.

Fourth of July thanks

Dear Editor: Our family would like to extend our sincerest thanks to the city of Claremont, the Fourth of July Committee, and all of the wonderful supporters and participants of the citys Fourth of July festivities! Our daughter, Elaine Ulmer, was this years theme contest winner and was feted that day in so many special ways, from leading the Pledge of Allegiance to attending a special reception with many local, state and national dignitaries to riding in the parade in a beautiful vintage Corvette. She said it was one of the best days of her life! What a memory she will have of that day for the rest of her life. So thank you, as Claremont truly Rocked the 4th! Stephanie, Christopher and Elaine Ulmer Claremont ones marriage other than his own. It would be prudent of him to stick with his regular avocation of fossilizing the Constitution.

READERS COMMENTS
A positive step for our culture

Dear Editor: In the July 12 edition, Douglas Lyon stated his opposition to same-sex marriage and his reasoning behind this opinion. He also made several inaccurate statements some of which I will correct. First, the role of the Supreme Court is to interpret the constitutionality of laws that have been passed in this country. In doing so change is inevitable. Mr. Lyon goes to the extreme, something he is fond of doing, and states we are living under judicial oligarchy. This is nonsense. What I find humorous is Mr. Lyons objection to the court which is currently made up of a majority of conservative justices. This court has made several decisions that I strongly disagree with, Shelby County v. Holder, Citizens United v. FEC and Bush v. Gore to name just a few. That is the way it works. Some things you like and some you work to change. Mr. Lyon further stated that no society has ever condoned same-sex marriage. This is wrong. Even a cursory search on the Internet will disprove this often-stated fiction. In pre-industrial cultures, homosexual relations were normal in many, if not most, societies. In fact, the notion of having a sexuality is relatively new. Today, homosexuality is mostly accepted in all but the most repressive, excessively religious societies. Same-sex marriage was made legal in the Netherlands in 2001, Belgium in 2003, Spain in 2005, Canada in 2005, followed by South Africa, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Portugal, Argentina, Denmark, France, Uruguay, Brazil and New Zealand. Its also legal in parts of Mexico. The majority of Americans now believe that samesex marriage should be legal. Going on, Mr. Lyon states that the same-sex movement is lead by people who think themselves morally superior. Well, look whos talking. Next, he says that children are best raised by a married man and woman, and that marriage is for procreation. Both of these are false. If marriage is primarily for procreation, what about a couple beyond childbaring age, or where one of the partners is sterile, or a couple that simply doesnt want to have children? Should all of these people be denied a marriage license? No, of course not. There is no proof that a child raised by a married man and woman is any better off than being raised by a loving single parent, or parents of the same sex. There are plenty of cases of dysfunctional marriages between a man and a women, many involving children. Mr. Lyon, you dont have to be a married couple to have children. Many couples are very happily united, have had
Human rights
Dear Editor: Douglas Lyon is adamantly opposed to same-sex marriage, but his recent letter to the editor (COURIER, July 12) does not provide a persuasive explanation for his negative opinion. Mr. Lyon invokes historical precedent, citing a lack of support for same-sex marriage over 5000 years of civilization. He is not deterred by the prevalence of wars, slavery, torture and denial of basic rights for most humans throughout our glorious past. As a proud conservative, Mr. Lyon is wary of any expansion of rights, now that he has his. He does imply that past discrimination based on race was wrong, but Mr. Lyon does not consider that relevant to the issue of equal rights for gay people. He offers an interesting distinction: Discrimination based on physical characteristics, such as skin color, is bad. However, discrimination based on particular behavioral differences, such as sexual activity between certain mutually consenting adults, is good discrimination. Behavioral differences in and of themselves should not be a basis for denial of rights. For example, I often cheer for the Minnesota Twins. This is certainly unusual behavior, but my legal rights are not restricted because I am not hurting anyone. My behavior is accepted, as it should be, even though it is aberrant (and despite the fact that it is entirely voluntary, i.e., less natural than a sexual preference). So, why is same-sex marriage objectionable? Mr. Lyon presents one specific argument against it. He claims that samesex marriage is bad for kids. But what is the basis for that conclusion? Is there any real data, any legitimate research, any objective evidence that supports his personal opinion? None is provided. In an attempt to establish some sort of structure for his case, Mr. Lyon offers a partial definition of marriage, proclaiming that, the well-being of our children...is...the primary reason for marriage. That statement devalues many marriages, including those of heterosexuals who marry later in life and all marriages that remain childless, whether by choice or not. By contrast, same-sex marriages do not devalue any marriages in any way. Mr. Lyon is not qualified to judge any-
children and, for reasons of their own, are not married. Many of them make very wonderful, loving parents. The worst statement Mr. Lyon made was, of course, comparing same-sex marriage to incest. People like him often state that same-sex marriage will lead to marriage between close relatives, animals, groups of people, etc. This is the slippery slope argument and has no basis in fact. Of the 15 countries that allow same-sex marriage, none have made legal marriages involving animals, children, close relatives or groups of people. Neither will California or the United States. Marriage is a legal contract and, to many, nothing more than that. The various states grant marriage licenses, not a church or religion. Being married is a contract and comes with many benefits for the couple that chooses to enter into that arrangement. By granting these benefits to same-sex couples we, as a society, are acting to eliminate an unfairness. This is a positive step for our culture and community because it accepts as equal our fellow citizens that want to be married and have these benefits, regardless of their sexual preference. Mr. Lyon, your belief in a single definition of marriage is as anachronistic as your belief that homosexuality is simply a behavior. William Stevenson Claremont
ples are now allowed to have the same rights as those in a marriage between a man and a woman in the state of California. There are still 37 states that do not allow such marriages. Gee, Mr. Lyon, and here I thought the main reason for getting married was because of love. I am highly disappointed to hear you believe that is not truethat we get married to have children. Really? I suggest that you re-read your Constitution, and I hope that you can realize that equality is emphasized a lot. If among our rights we guarantee our citizens the right to liberty, life and happiness, please have the tolerance to realize that the court wisely decided to insist on equal rights and protections before the law in enforcing those rights that are in our Constitution.

Dear Editor: And another church goes its own way from its governing boardthis time it is the Claremont United Methodist going its own way from its General Conference, which forbids United Methodist ministers from performing weddings ceremonies for same-sex couples by saying in the COURIER, We, as a congregation, have decided not to live in fear of that (General Conference) policy any more and move ahead... Just another peg in the fulfillment of Bible prophesy, Isaiah 4:26: And in that day, 7 women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own food and wear our own apparel; Only let us be called by your name, to take away our reproach. In the Bible, woman is used for the church (such as the pure woman or pure church and scarlet woman or fornicator with kings of the earth described in Revelation). Food is the word of God, and apparel is the righteous robe of Christ. In those days (end times), 7 churches will pull at one man, Jesus, like taffy, each saying Well decide our own word, and well decide on our own whats right, but let us be called by your name. Would not it be more truthful and compassionate to break away from what is not believedthe Methodist governing board interpretation of the Jesus of the Bibleinto something like the Claremont New World Rainbow Church? Or does leaving the General Conference require the return of something like building and property? We will decide what the Bible says; we will decide what is right; but let us be called by your name: Methodist. I hear echoes of Isaiah. JoAnn Henkel Alta Loma

Regarding same-sex marriage

Dear Editor: No, Mr. Douglas Lyon, the Supreme Court does not have carte blanche authority to organize or re-organize society. But the Supreme Court since Marbury v. Madison does have the authority to interpret the Constitution and to enforce our Amendments that are enumerated in the Constitution. Justice Kennedy rightfully based his decision on the equal protection clause of the Constitution, stating that homosexuals make up a distinct class and that they should be treated equally before the law. There should be no questioning the fact that discrimination occurs against those with a different sexual orientation. It is about time that we recognize the fact that homosexuality is not a choice. The court held that gay couples should not be treated differently than opposite sex couples. This is what equal protection before the law means. You can not treat one class differently than another. It is really that simple! It is beyond my understanding how socalled conservatives would want to intrude into the private lives of individuals. Each couple should have the right to be equally happy or unhappy. It is not as if marriage has a huge success ratio. One couples marriage does not have any bearing on whether or not another couples marriage is a success. No state has passed a law allowing incest so, at a minimum, that statement is a red herring. Society has a right to change its rules and, at this time, bigamy and incest are illegal. In their pursuit of happiness, gay cou-

Secret to reducing Claremont water bills: go local

Dear Editor: I know, Peter Weinberger has another simpler, more intuitive answer: use less. Very appealing, and for those who are wasting water that seems like good advice. But most of us dont waste much water. One day, as I drove by the apartments and shops packed side-by-side on streets near the Los Angeles River, it struck me especially hard why Clarmonters use more than the southern California average: there were no trees. It was hard to find anything growing green. Claremont is a city of trees. About 80 percent of the water we use is for irrigation. Of course, we use more water. Is the secret really use less to reduce water bills? Not for most of us. As people in Barstow, Wrightwood, Seal Beach, San Dimas, anywhere in Golden State Water Companys Region 3, use less water, the rates for everyone in Claremont go up. Golden State just adds that WRAM (Water Rate Adjustment Mechanism) charge to our bills so their profit is preserved. The Public Utilities Commission said they could. And what a deal it is. Golden State saves by importing less water at 5 times the cost of local well water and they get WRAM as well. But thats not the best reason to go local. Golden State has more than doubled our water usage rate since 2008. Thats right, more than doubled for the typical Claremont user in 5 years. Claremont water usage rates are also roughly twice those for our neighbors in La Verne with their municipal systemand they have to rely on a lot more of that expensive imported water. With a few facts and a little thought, its not hard to figure out what's best. Do both: go localuse less. Lets get control of Claremonts water in our own hands, out from under a private monopoly and the
PUC. We would set our own rates, and be masters of our water future. Thats going to be ever more important as temperatures rise, population grows and we have less water to use. Freeman Allen

Christopher Hubbart release

[Editors note: The following letter was sent to Santa Clara Superior Court Judge Gilbert Brown after his approval to release convicted rapist Christopher Hubbart. A copy was forwarded for publication. KD] Dear Judge Brown: I am writing to urge you to prevent the release of convicted serial rapist Christopher Hubbart into the city of Claremont and all other areas of Los Angeles County. Based on his criminal history, the planned release of Mr. Hubbart into our communities will create a serious threat to public safety. Releasing a sexual predator to a college community such as Claremont poses a major public safety threat to its residents and the community as a whole. Hubbart has admitted to brutally raping 40 women, including 26 in Los Angeles County. Mr. Hubbart has no family or support network in Claremont to possibly justify his placement in Claremont or the surrounding communities. His brief engagement with Claremont was more than 10 years ago, when he stayed in Claremont for just 2 months. Mr. Hubbarts stepfather and mother resided near Claremont at the time, but have since died, thus he has no ties to the city. Christopher Hubbart has proven himself to be a danger to society. Should you decide to proceed with his release, I strongly urge you to heed our communitys concern. Mike Gatto Chairman of the Assembly Appropriations Committee Assemblyman, 43rd District
Climate change
Dear Editor: Climate change is in a bigger hurry than we humans are. 400ppm of CO2 are in the atmosphere; 350 may have been a tipping point. Were already beginning to see the loss of ice, the rise in sea level and the frequent extreme weather phenomena which scientists predicted. If we continue to add CO2 to the atmosphere, even at a slower rate of increase by switching from coal to natural gas, the consequences will be dire. Although the costs of an accelerated pivot to non-fossil energy are enormous, the costs of not doing so will be far worse. As ice melts and oceans rise, coastal cities and other low-lying areas will be inundated. Moderate precipitation will be replaced by deluges and droughts, disrupting food production and water supplies. Some places will become uninhabitable; hundreds of millions of people will be displaced. Tropical insects and diseases will reach formerly temperate areas, food will become scarcer and more expensive, and health care costs will increase. The melting permafrost will release the dreaded methane burp, accelerating the global temperature increase and its consequences. Our need to create a nonfossil energy economy will become more obvious and urgent, but well be less able to do it. We need to respond to climate change
Dear Editor: This July marks 47 years since the landmark Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) was signed into federal law, yet Americans are still distrustful of government. A 2013 Pew Research Center poll showed that only 26 percent of Americans surveyed say they can trust government in Washington almost always or most of the timeamong the lowest ratings in the half-century since pollsters have been asking the question. FOIA established our right to access government records and to know what our government is doingboth its successes and failures. Exercising our right to know gives us, the public, power. It allows us to contribute to our government and hold government accountable. From food and transportation safety to the use and disposal of chemicals, FOIA has enabled the public to ensure the health of our democracy and our own well-being. FOIA (and related state and local laws) are only as good as we demand they be. For decades, members of the League of Women Voters have acted as government watchdogs at the federal, state and local levelsobserving government meetings, conducting document audits and empowering citizensbut more work needs to be done. The key to a healthy, open and trusted government is public participation. This FOIA anniversary, exercise your right to know by attending a government meet-

El Roble to host Chinese educator this fall

The California School Boards Association and the Shanghai Municipal Education Commission have cooperated for the past 5 years on a principal and teacher exchange program between schools in California and Shanghai. El Roble Intermediate School has been selected to participate and has been asked to host a male principal from Shanghai from Sunday, September 29 to Friday, November 8, 2013. The goal of the program is to expose Chinese educators to educational practices in California schools and to bring an element of international education into California schools through interactions between Chinese visitors and students, teachers and administrators. The Chinese educators will spend most of their time observing school classrooms and meetings, joining in extracurricular activities and pursuing their own individual research projects.

Jeannette Brainard, a longtime resident of Claremont, died on July 10, 2013. She was 86. Mrs. Brainard was born on March 6, 1927 in Denver, Colorado to Walter and Lillian Ericson. She lived with her parents and her younger sister, Jerre Ann, in Hillrose, Colorado, where her father owned a Red and White grocery store. After graduating from high school, Mrs. Brainard attended college in Hastings, Nebraska, where she met her hus-

band, Ed Brainard. They were married in 1946 and had 4 children, Sherri, Corinne, Bruce and Christine. In 1956, Mrs. Brainard and her family moved to California, eventually settling in Claremont in 1964, where she lived for the rest of her life. After obtaining a bachelors degree in education, Mrs. Brainard worked as an elementary school teacher for the West Covina Unified School District for 30 years. During that time, she also obtained a masters degree in counseling. She retired in 1992, but continued to teach as a substitute until 2002. One of Mrs. Brainards greatest loves was music. She began taking piano lessons at an early age and later added voice lessons. She entertained her family by playing the piano and singing her favorite songs, especially music by Cole Porter. She also enjoyed attending live musical theater productions. For Mrs. Brainard, an opportunity to dress up in rhinestones and sequins was always great fun. Mrs. Brainard will be greatly missed, her family shared. Mrs. Brainard is survived by her children, Sherri Brainard of Manila, Philippines, Corinne Chandel of Mountain View, California, Bruce Brainard of Mountain View, California and Christine Brainard of Claremont; and by her sister, Jerre Ann Lloyd of Louisville, Colorado.
Edward Joseph Piercy

Grocer, veteran, loving husband and father
Edward Joseph Piercy, a longtime Upland resident, died on July 7, 2013 at Parkview Community Hospital in Riverside, California. Mr. Piercy was born on August 28, 1920 in Streater, Illinois. His mother died when he was only 3 and soon after, his one-year-old brother died in a house fire. He, a sister and his remaining 2 brothers were sent to live with various relatives. Mr. Piercy was sent to Visalia, California to be raised by his grandparents, Thomas and Mary Ann Piercy. It was a bit of a culture shock for him at first because his grandparents were English with thick accents, but they provided a loving home. He grew up on their central California ranch, picking fruit off the trees and learning to shoot a gun when he was 6 and to drive when he was 11. From time to time, he would visit his father in southern California. On one such occasion, he was leaving a store in Long Beach when the 1933 Long Beach Earthquake, a 6.4 temblor that caused widespread damage, struck. Bricks rained on his bike, but he was able to duck them and pedal home. On another visit, Mr. Piercy, then only 15, met the love of his life. He had hitchhiked to Los Angeles and was walking through an LA neighborhood when he wing. Later, Carmen and he became classmates at Freemont High School in Los Angeles. In 1941, Mr. Piercy married his beloved Carmen, a union that would last for 51 years until Mrs. Piercys death. Soon after, he joined the US Navy, serving in the Pacific Theatre for 4 years during World War II. He was first stationed on a transport ship and later served as a gunner. When Mr. Piercy was in port in the United States, trading exotic locales like New Hebrides for leave in cities like San Francisco and San Diego, Mrs. Piercy would meet him and rent a place where they could stay together for the duration. Once Mr. Piercy was honorably discharged, he returned to civilian life, settling in Upland. Mr. Piercy worked in the grocery industry, including a long tenure at the Market Basket supermarket, while Mrs. Piercy stayed home with their family of 3 girls and 2 boys. Each summer, the Piercys would pack up and go camping, enjoying fishing and cookouts in places like Yosemite and Bass Lake. Mr. Piercy was a loving father, his family shared, tickling his children and carrying them on his shoulders when they were small and supporting them in all their endeavors when they became adults. Once the kids were grown, the Piercys bought a historic home in Ontario, where they stayed until Mrs. Piercys death in 1992. An avid gardener, Mr. Piercy tended the grounds, making sure that there were flourishing trees with fruit for the picking. He and his wife also took the opportunity to travel, including one notable trip to England where they stayed in a bed and breakfast and made themselves at home for a month. There was an ageless, Jack LaLaneesque quality to Mr. Piercy. When his granddaughter opened a coffee shop, Mr. Piercy, 86, would ride his bike from Ontario to Upland each morning, making coffee and juice and opening the store. While his children are missing him, they derive comfort from memories of life with their father. We werent rich, we were just happy, his daughter Mary Linda recalled. What we had was love. It was almost like a Leave It to Beaver life. Mr. Piercy was preceded in death by his wife, Carmina Marie Piercy. He is survived by his children, Edward Joseph Piercy Jr., Mary Linda Piercy, Sharon Lee Watson, Ronald Victor Piercy and Pamela Jane Frink; by 14 grandchildren and by 9 great grandchildren.

Eatery brings sweet Mediterranean tastes to Claremont
bdallah Soueidan moved to the United States from Lebanon in the 1970s with the intent of seeking a new start, but some things were too good to leave behind.
While a proud American citizen, Mr. Soueidan regularly honors one of his favorite aspects of his Lebanese background, the cuisine. Through his latest venture, Al Amir Flatbreadrecently opened next door to Super King MarketMr. Soueidan is integrating the savory selections of his Mediterranean roots with some all-American culinary classics for the general public. This south Claremont food establishment is a happy blend of east meets west. The doughy creations served hot from the establishments wood-fired oven provides the comforts of the popular pizza pie with a middle eastern flair, inspired by the classic Lebanese classic flatbread, also referred to as manoushe. In Lebanon, bustling marketplaces are lined with manoushe stands where hungry patrons may hand over their own vegetables and cheeses to be incorporated with the freshly made flatbread dough provided by the merchant. Its a fresh and easy meal to-go, Mr. Soueidan explains. While Al Amirs quick creations offer convenience and low prices10-inch flatbreads ranging from $1.75 to $5.99customers dont have to worry about the meal prep. Leave it to us, Mr. Soueidan insists. The longtime restaurateur is more than happy to do the cooking. I enjoy the satisfaction of seeing people enjoy a good meal, and you see how happy they are, Mr. Soueidan said. It gives you a good feeling to see that something you have given someone is being appreciated. That is what drove me to own my own place. Mr. Soueidan is no stranger to the restaurant realm, having worked his way up to restaurant owner after years in the culinary business. He began as a busboy upon his arrival to the United States in 1977. He later became a server before moving his way up to chef and eventually owning his own restaurant. His first eatery, the original Al Amir Bakery, opened in Anaheim in 2002, and proved more successful than he imagined. Within a matter of years, he opened a second location, and watched as others in Anaheim followed suit. Within 7 years of Al Amirs opening, 8 other flatbread locations had opened. The quick cropping-up of Lebanese flatbread establishments hasnt cut back from his profits, however. Mr. Soueidan was quick to snatch up a third location when he heard there was a vacancy next door to Claremonts international market, Super King. As he predicted, business is already off to a good start. I have seen so many familiar faces that I used to see in Anaheim. They are so happy they dont have to drive out to Anaheim to visit us now, Mr. Soueidan said. While providing the flavor profiles that regulars savorlike the classic Lebanese Zaatar and Cheese, sprinkled with fresh herbsMr. Soueidan has come up with some creations of his own for cautious newcomers. For those trying Al Amir for the first time, he recommends trying his new chipotle chicken

flatbread, providing those new to the flavor combinations with just enough spice. The owners personal favorite, however, remains the Soujouk, which is characterized by a smoky Armenian sausage. He suggests rolling the warm flatbread up with tomato and pickle, and devouring the whole thing like a sandwich. Mr. Soueidan isnt the only culinary mastermind at Al Amir Flatbread. He is happy to share duties with his wife, Sanaa, whom he deems an excellent and innovative cook. He credits his wife with creating many of the items found on the Al Amir menu, including the Keshek flatbread, laden with onions, tomatoes and a yogurt mix. The couple happily shares culinary responsibilities, Ms. Soueidan feeding the troops at home while her husband keeps busy elbow-deep in flatbread dough. Though the workload has just gotten bigger, Mr. Soueidan is at peace in his new Claremont kitchen. Its always been a dream, said Mr. Soueidan of having a series of restaurants to call his own. Its finally become a reality. Al Amir Flatbread, located at 865 S. Indian Hill Blvd. next to Super King market, is open Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. In observation of those fasting for Ramadan, the bakery will reopen from midnight to 3 a.m. For more information, call 625-0500, email info@alamirbakery.com or visit www.alamirbakery.com.

Since late June, she has served as an intern with the Claremont School of Theatre Arts, a job that will culminate with performances by the programs sixth through ninth grade participants on July 25-27. Then, theres the cross-country practice that begins at 5:30 a.m. 3 days a week. And earlier in the summer, she headed east with her family to explore the campuses of Boston University, Drexel University in Philadelphia and Sarah Lawrence College, NYU and Hofstra University in New York, with an eye on finding a college with a good film program. Oh yeah, and then theres the UCLA writing class shes about to start, which focuses on writing before college. Still, she has that niggling feeling she should be doing more. I need to get back to volunteering, she said, referring to work she has done at the nearby Hillside senior community for the past 2 summers. This Tuesday, when asked if she ever has any free time, Riley ducked the question, noting that she had gotten up at 4:30 a.m. that morning in preparation for her cross-country training and that the previous day I didnt go home for 14 hours. Keeping busy is not just a summer fling for Riley. She will see her school responsibilities grow exponentially this year when she embarks on CHSs International Baccalaureate program, a 2-year course of study whose graduates enjoy higher acceptance rates at their colleges of choice and are often granted college credit for their work. Along with her participation on the cross-country team, she is also an enthusiastic participant in Krista Elhais thespian troupe and a regular participant in the ongoing CHS Comedy Sports improv program. While her plate is full, shes considering going out for speech and debate. When asked why she does so much, Riley answers simply, I want to be as involved as I can.

Claremont School of Theatre Arts (CSTA) production of African Folktales, a collection of stories following the exploits of Anansi, a trickster spider who is the hero of many traditional African tales. Its a real ensemble piece for the 34 boys and girls of CSTA, many of whom will take on as many as 3 or 4 roles. Its such a rich cultural background, Riley said of the production. Its a visually and percussively vivid show. Whether they are portraying humans or animals, the kids, swathed in colorful African cloths and wearing handmade masks, must be prepared to move, dance and generally weave storytelling magic. Several performers perch on large boxes that double as cajon-style box drums. On Tuesday, Riley joined CSTA artistic director Olivia Parker and assistant director/stage manager Greg McGoon in the cool recesses of Pomona Colleges Seaver Theatre, helping students block out the folktales. Given the plays fast pace, getting kids on their marks and set to go was a bit like herding cats.

Riley was game, however, whether filling in for a missing actor or demonstrating a good snake dance for those playing the slithery characters. She also found time for laughs with the students, who count their diminutive mentor as one of their own, and on whom she has, almost to a kid, bestowed with nicknames. I think Rileys nice.

CSTA, currently celebrating its 20th anniversary, is co-sponsored by The Curtain Raisers of the Claremont Colleges and Pomona Colleges Department of Theatre and Dance. Uncommon Good and The Curtain Raisers work to provide scholarships for many participants. One thing many of the creative minds behind CSTA share is a connection with the theater program at the local high school. Ms. Parker, who is a theater teacher and thespian director at San Bernardino High School, is an alumna of Ms. Elhais CHS theater program. Mr. McGoon, a New York-based actor/artist who flies out each year to be part of CSTA, is likewise a product of Ms. Elhais program. Both also participated in CSTA when they were younger. Along with Riley, there are several other current CHS thespians serving as interns. While not connected, the 2 programs work hand-inhand to provide onstage and backstage activities for local youths interested in theater. Its about giving young people, just entering the awkward phase of adolescence, the chance to be themselves. Its allowing them to be comfortable inside their bodies, Mr. McGoon said. Ms. Parker loves the participatory focus of CSTA,

WARNINGIMPORTANT INFORMATION WARNING: California law provides that, for purposes of division of property upon dissolution of a marriage or domestic partnership or upon legal separation, property acquired by the parties during marriage or domestic partnership in joint form is presumed to be community property. If either party to this action should die before the jointly held community property is divided, the language in the deed that characterizes how title is held (i.e., joint tenancy, tenants in common, or community property) will be controlling, and not the community property presumption. You should consult your attorney if you want the community property presumption to be written into the recorded title to the property. STANDARD FAMILY LAW RESTRAINING ORDERS Starting immediately, you and your spouse or domestic partner are restrained from 1. Removing the minor child or children of the parties, if any, from the state without the prior written consent of the other party or an order of the court; 2.

Transferring, encumbering, hypothecating, concealing, or in any way disposing of any property, real or personal, whether community, quasi-community, or separate, without the written consent of the other party or an order of the court, except in the usual course of business or for the necessities of life; and 4. Creating a nonprobate transfer or modifying a nonprobate transfer in a manner that affects the disposition of property subject to the transfer, without the written consent of the other party or an order of the court. Before revocation of a nonprobate transfer can take effect or a right of survivorship to property can be eliminated, notice of the change must be filed and served on the other party. You must notify each other of any proposed extraordinary expenditures at least five business days prior to incurring these extraordinary expenditures and account to the court for all extraordinary expenditures made after these restraining orders are effective. However, you may use community property, quasi-community property, or your own separate property to pay an attorney to help you or to pay court costs.
