A competitive water market in
Claremont?
Dear Editor:
Robert Traers letter in the September
5 edition of the COURIER got me think-
ing. Rather than purchasing the existing
water system via eminent domain from
Golden State Water, would it be possible
to instead create a competitor to Golden
State Water in the city of Claremont?
As a significant percentage of water
consumed in this city (or any city, for
that matter) is used for irrigation pur-
poses, building a reclaimed water system
to meet Claremonts irrigation needs
would go a long way towards controlling
our own destiny in terms of the future
cost and supply of water.
Aside from the environmental benefits
of using our water resources more
wisely, pursuing the installation and op-
eration of a city-owned reclaimed water
system would significantly reduce
Golden States business in the city of
Claremont over the longterm. As the
company would be left to provide just
the potable water needs of the citys resi-
dents, the value of Golden States water
system in Claremont would fall dramati-
cally, and make it a less attractive asset
for the company to continue operating.
It might even motivate the company to
want to sell the system voluntarily at
some point.
I have no idea if this is even remotely
possible given existing regulatory and/or
contractual constraints, or what such an
endeavor would cost, but it would be in-
teresting to know if this is a potential al-
ternative to an acquisition of the water
system via eminent domain before the
citizens of Claremont vote on the up-
coming water bond measure.
Marc Selznick
Claremont
Vote yes on Measure W
Dear Editor:
For the last 75 years, Claremont has
had several opportunities to purchase the
water system from Golden State Water
Company. This has not happened. The
time is now!
We cannot afford to wait any longer.
Claremonts water rates are considerably
higher than that of surrounding cities,
approximately $50 per month more than
it would be under La Verne rates. Little,
if any, improvements have been made to
the water infrastructure. Water rates have
continued to rise on a regular basis with
little or no benefit to us. However,
salaries of Golden State executives have
escalated.
Citizens of Claremont believe that the
water district exists for the people, not
for profit to the water company execu-
tives and stockholders. This time is over-
due for Claremont to purchase the water
company. Please join us and vote yes
on the Claremont water bond issue on
the November ballot.

City says good-bye to Jon Traber, longtime police captain
C
aptain Jon Traber took his final call
last week, retiring after 29 years of
service with the Claremont Police
Department.
Hired by the Claremont PD in 1985, Jon was promoted
to Agent (now Corporal rank) in 1989, followed by Ser-
geant in 2001and Lieutenant in 2003. In 2011, he was pro-
moted to Captain, a rank he held until his retirement.
Over the years, Captain Traber has been well-regarded
in the Claremont community, both for his service to the
city and for the guidance hes given to members of the
force.
Jon is one of those employees you wish you could
clone and have a dozen of, says Chief Paul Cooper.He
doesnt bring a lot of attention to himself when hes work-
ing. In fact hes not one of those guys that seeks the at-
tention.He just sets out to do the best possible job, always
respecting the authority given to him by the people.
With lights and sirens blaring, the entire Claremont Po-
lice Department escorted Captain Traber to the Claremont
city limits on August 28 where he was warmly greeted by
his wife Kris as well as friends and colleagues before giv-
ing a 10-7 over the police radio, announcing hes out of
service and signing off for the last time.
Looking dapper in a suit and tie, Captain Traber re-
turned to Claremont on September 4 for a reception in his
honor hosted by the city. City council and staff, and police
commissioners, as well former staff and council mem-
bers, gathered at the Hughes Center to show their appre-
ciation for a man who gave so much to the city he served.
With his wife, daughter, two sons, father and in-laws in
attendance, the retired captain remained humble as City
Manager Tony Ramos spoke about his commitment to
the city before presenting him with a plaque in recognition
of his service.
Chief Cooper also spoke, giving an overview of Cap-
tain Trabers career, and presented his colleague and long-
time friend with a Claremont street sign with his name, a
retirement tradition. He also received a plaque with his
badges from the Claremont Police Officers Association.
One of the most touching moments came when Captain
Traber read a letter from his dad reflecting on his career.
Jons father was a police officer and he grew up with his
influence. In the end, the captain spoke about his time at
the city and thanked all the many people hes worked with
over the years.
Hes been my friend since we started together 29 years
ago, Chief Cooper said. And we will continue to be
friends. But I will miss working with him every day.
As of now, Captain Traber said he has no formal plans
for retirement other than a trip to the river, work around
his house and fixing up his Jeeps.

Coupled with the threat of a personal lawsuit
againstMr. Ramos and other city staff responsible for
the mailer, the letter demands that the city shall not
engage in and expend any additional taxpayer funds
campaigning for Measure W and that Mr. Ramos

to comply with campaign reporting law by not reporting

A resident at Claremont Place called
police, alleging caretakers at the facility
are committing petty theft. The woman
moved into the senior living center six
months ago and during that period of
time, many of her items have gone
missing including a purse, money,
jacket, toiletries and two magnifying
glasses. The victim lives alone and
states that the only people who have ac-
cess to her personal property are the
caretakers at the facility. The items are
valued at $305.

A man with a penchant for panini
went ballistic when employees tried to
take away his sandwich. According to
Lieutenant Mike Ciszek, the male sus-
pect entered Starbucks located on the
200 block of Yale Street and placed a
Panini inside the left inner pocket of his
jacket without paying for it. When con-
fronted by members of the staff, the
man became angry and aggressive,
knocking over a display of plastic cups.
As the cups flew onto customers inside
the coffee house, the suspect fled the
scene in a light blue or teal sedan. The
sandwich is valued at $5.95 and has not
been recovered. The suspect remains at
large.

Erratic driving was cause for concern
for one Good Samaritan who called po-
lice after following a suspected DUI
driver on the 210 Freeway. Around 6
p.m., an eyewitness called police and
followed Tracey Mayer as she allegedly
swerved between lanes and drove onto
the shoulder at speeds ranging from 5
to 75 miles per hour. After the 31-year-
old suspect exited the interstate at
Towne Avenue, she proceeded to sit
through three phases of a light cycle at
the traffic signal before police arrived
to find her asleep behind the wheel. Of-
ficers conducted a field sobriety test
and determined the Glendora woman
was impaired. She was arrested and
later released on $5,000 bail.

A teen with a car full of cannabis
gives new meaning to the word dope
after claiming to be a marijuana dispen-
sary deliveryman and then failing to
provide proof of employment. Dillion
Rust was spotted in a church parking
lot and approached by police around 6
a.m. after smelling the odor of mari-
juana coming from his vehicle. The 19-
year-old told police he delivered for a
marijuana dispensary and a search of
his car revealed he was well stocked
with 13 plastic bags containing mari-
juana, baked goods containing mari-
juana, a vaporizer containing a black
tar-like liquid concentrated cannabis
and $445 in cash. Mr. Rust was unable
to provide any documentation that he
worked for a dispensary or that he was
allowed to possess such a large amount
of marijuana. The Inglewood man was
arrested and released on $20,000 bail.
Saturday, September 6
Saying goodnight was really hard for
one man who didnt know when to call
it quits and ended his evening in the
Claremont jail. Travis Livingston was
seen drinking at The Press early in the
night and when he refused to leave
around 12:30 a.m., Claremont police
arrived on scene. The 30-year-old
smelled of alcohol, appeared flushed
and his eyes were red when officers ran
him through the system, revealing an
outstanding warrant. The Montclair
man was taken to the station for public
intoxication and the outstanding war-
rant. He was later released on $10,250
bail.

POLICE BLOTTER
T
here was much to celebrate at
Claremonts city council meeting
Tuesday night as a number of the
police staff received recognition and pro-
motion for their exemplary performance
within the department.
Claremont Police Chief Paul Cooper stood before
city council, residents and police families as he intro-
duced each member, providing a brief summary of
each person being promoted.
Lieutenant Shelly Vander Veen, who has served
with the department for nearly 20 years, has been pro-
moted to captain following the retirement of Captain
Jon Traber earlier this month. Capt. Vander Veen was
hired by the Claremont Police Department in 1995,
and worked her way up the ranks with promotions to
corporal in 2000, sergeant in 2003, and lieutenant in
2005. Capt. Vander Veen selected her mother to do
the honors of pinning her bars.
Sergeant Lori Davenport has been promoted to
lieutenant. With a total of 15 years of service, 12
years with CPD and three years with the Los Angeles
County Sheriff, Lt. Lori Davenport was hired by CPD
in 2002, promoted to corporal in 2007 and sergeant in
2010. Lt. Davenport chose her husband Paul to do the
honors of pinning her with the lieutenant bar, the
same bar he wore when he was a lieutenant with the
Claremont Police Department.
With 20 years of law enforcement behind him, Cor-
poral Eric Huizar moves up the ranks to Sergeant.
Sgt. Huizar was hired by CPD in 1995 and promoted
to corporal in 2001. Chief Cooper did the honors of
pinning the Sergeant with his new badge.
Officers Chris Casas and Issac Reyes were both
promoted to corporal. Claremont PD hired Cpl. Casas
in 2007 before his recent promotion. He selected re-
tired Captain Jon Traber to pin his badge. Cpl. Reyes
was hired by CPD in 2008 and selected his wife to
pin his corporal badge.
Ben Alba, a jailer assigned to Claremont Police De-
partment, was hired on as a Reserve Officer for CPD
and was given his officers badge by his mother and
father. Officer Alba began his career with Claremont
police in 2005 when he was hired as a police aide.
In addition, two explorers, Ryan Kim and Victoria
Garrison, were also recognized for their high level of
performance at the Riverside Sheriff Department Ex-
plorer Academy. These two were considered standout
explorers and were selected from 120 candidates for
recognition.
Explorer Ryan Kim was given the Brennan DiMag-
gio award, recognized as a top explorer and awarded
for having the most discipline, motivation and ex-
hibiting outstanding leadership throughout the acad-
emy. Mr. Kim has started classes at California State
University, Stanislaus and was unable to accept his
certificate in person.
Explorer Victoria Garrison, for the second year in a
row, was awarded Most Outstanding in Physical Fit-
ness. She completed the mile and half run in10 min-
utes flat - 6 seconds off the academy record cranked
out 45 push-ups in one minute and crunched 33 sit-
ups in one minute. She received a certificate of recog-
nition from the city council, presented to her by
Mayor Joe Lyons.
Following the tradition of the chief presenting to
the council a brief summary of each person being pro-
moted, the newly-installed officers took their oaths of
allegiance once again to reaffirm their commitment to
the department.

EDUCATION
Voices of district faculty, staff ring louder at board meetings
A
small change to school
board meetings is mak-
ing a big difference in
relations between school offi-
cials and staff in the Claremont
Unified School District.
At the August 21 school board meet-
ing, a new of order of business made its
debut on the agenda:
Comments by em-
ployee associations in
support of district stu-
dents, staff and partnerships. Time was
allotted for representatives of the
teachers union, the California School
Employees Association (CSEA) and the
Claremont Management Association to
take to the podium.
Previously, CUSD staffers who
wished to address the board on agenda
items or other topics of note had to fill
out a blue card announcing their intent to
speak at the start of the meeting. Their
discussion was limited to three minutes,
just like any other meeting attendee.
In his inaugural presentation, Clare-
mont Faculty Association President
Dave Chamberlain said he was grateful
for the specified time on the agenda, em-
phasizing that the addition will foster im-
proved communications between the
associations and the board.
He proceeded to report on various
ways teachers were gearing up for the
school year, and shared that he had re-
cently performed the Ice Bucket Chal-
lenge. In most cases, anyone who
undertakes the philanthropic darea
chilly ritual that began going viral on the
Internet at the start of the summerdo-
nates $10 or more to the ALS Associa-
tion to assist in the fight against Lou
Gehrigs disease.
Mr. Chamberlain noted that he chose
instead to donate to the Leukemia-Lym-
phoma Society on behalf of Jasmine Lyn,
a second grader at Condit School who is
a survivor of acute lymphoblastic
leukemia. Jasmines moxie has inspired
a slew of boosters who have joined the
fight against blood cancer under the
name Team Jazzy.
Rosie Bister, Oakmont office manager
and local CSEA president, took a mo-
ment to address the board on behalf of
the classified staff union. She expressed
her eagerness to meet the new classified
staff and reported that CSEA will open
negotiations on a full contract this year.
At the September 4 meeting,
board/staff communication was further
bolstered when Mr. Chamberlain once
again acted as the voice of Claremont
faculty. During his allotted time, he
shared a concern. According to the union
head and Claremont High School speech
teacher, CHS is sadly lacking classroom
space. He says the problem has been ex-
acerbated by the addition of 16 severely
orthopedically disabled/medically frag-
ile students in the high schools special
education program, with more likely to
come. The influx is the result of the dis-
tricts recent dissociation from Califor-
nia Special Education Local Plan Areas,
an LA County program that previously
undertook the education of a number of
special education students from CUSD
and surrounding districts.
Because rooms are in such demand,
teachers have to roam from place to
place, Mr. Chamberlain said, in some
cases even having to gather up their be-
longings and find a spot in the library
during their prep time.
Its the single biggest morale problem
among faculty, he said.
Mr. Chamberlain asked the board and
the superintendents cabinet to put them-
selves in the teachers place.
Imagine that, as an administrator, you
have toevery time the bell rings
gather your stuff and move from your
class to another room, he said. Im not
sure what the solution is, but I wanted to
share the frustration and suggest that, as
new monies come into the district, you
think about the space issues.
The faculty union has been asking for
a regular slot on the school board agenda
for at least five years, according to Sum-
ner Elementary School teacher and past
CFA president Joe Tonan. Its a courtesy
that has long been afforded to the staff
associations in neighboring districts such
as Pomona and Bonita.
Its a gigantic step in the relationship
between the Claremont Faculty Associa-
tion and the district, Mr. Tonan said.
As seen in the last two weeks, it is really
something positive where we can share
whats going on with our members and
in their classes.
Mr. Chamberlain could not be reached
for comment, but Mr. Tonan offered his
hypothesis as to why the unions finally
got traction on their request for a stronger
board meeting presence. Chief among
these is the receptivity of CUSD Super-
intendent Jim Elsasser.
I think that Dr. Elsasser saw the value
in it. I think that some of the new school-
board members have seen the value in
it, Mr. Tonan said. And I also think
that, over the last three or four years, the
relationship between the CFA and the
district has improved. Weve seen trust
developing. The district is saying, Yeah,
I think we can trust the Claremont Fac-
ulty Association to use that time in a con-
structive way.
Board President Steven Llanusa con-
firmed that the districts top administra-
tor was largely behind in the shift.
Dr. Elsasser was instrumental in cre-
ating the agreement between the district
and the employee association, which was
acceptable to everyone involved, he said.
Mr. Llanusa noted individual teachers,
classified staff members and managers
are still welcome to pull a blue card and
speak individually on an agenda item or
on another topic during public comment
periods.
The idea is to give [employee associ-
ations] a chance to speak, Mr. Elsasser
said. Its a chance to increase commu-
nication and for them to really share all
of the wonderful things going on in the
district.
Of course, union members may address
subjects that are not so wonderful and
thats also welcome, the superintendent
said.
Its something were aware of, he
said of the space crunch at the high
school. There is no easy fix. But we
have a standing meeting between the
board president, CFA and myself and
thats something that we may follow up
on in a future meeting.

Superintendent, administrators get longer contracts, pay hike
A
t their Thursday, September 4
gathering, members of the Clare-
mont Unified School District
Board of Education voted to approve an
addendum to the contracts of Superin-
tendent Jim Elsasser and four key district
staffers.
Mr. Elsasser was first hired a little more than two
years ago, with his contract extending from June 1,
2012 to June 30, 2016. Thanks to a unanimous vote
by the board, the superintendents contract has been
extended for an additional year, with his tenure as
head of the district going through June 30, 2017.
Other administrators also approved to continue
their jobs through the summer of 2017 include Assis-
tant Superintendent of Business Services Lisa Shoe-
maker, Assistant Superintendent of Educational
Services Bonnie Bell, Assistant Superintendent of
Human Resources Kevin Ward and Assistant Superin-
tendent of Student Services Mike Bateman.
At their June 5 gathering, the board ratified a 4 per-
cent across-the-board salary increase for all district
employees. The addendum notes that the 4 percent
hike also extends to the superintendents cabinet.
With their decision to lenghten the administrators
contracts, the board cast a vote for stability, particu-
larly when it comes to the man at the helm of CUSD.
The district is just beginning to catch its stride after
several years marked by remarkable turnover. From
2006 to 2012, CUSD saw three superintendents plus
one interim superintendent come and go. Steven
Llanusa, who is now in his ninth year representing
Claremont schools, was on the board throughout that
tumultuous period.
There are many advantages to having a long-term
superintendent who meshes well with the community,
the employees and the school board members, Mr.
Llanusa said. The employees dont have to worry
about priorities shifting each time there is a new per-
son in charge. The school board doesnt have to con-
stantly adjust to a different personality. And the com-
munity knows what to expect from a longstanding
superintendent versus a new superintendent.
In his time at CUSD, Mr. Elsasser has proved to be
popular with all manner of CUSD stakeholders, Mr.
Llanusa among them.
Dr. Elsasser cares first and foremost about the stu-
dents, which I think is a crucial characteristic of any
successful superintendent, he explained. He has tal-
ents in other areascommunication, financial mat-
ters, goal-settingbut he always uses those talents to
make sure we are serving our students.
If Mr. Elsasser continues to perform well, it is
likely the school board will extend the superinten-
dents contract at the end of each successful school
year rather than negotiate for a new contract when
things get down to the wire.
By extending his contract, it gives the district sta-
bility and the superintendent predictability, Mr.
Llanusa said.
Mr. Elsasser was first hired at $218,000 per year.
After the 2012-2013 school year, Mr. Elsasserhav-
ing passed his mid-year and end-of-year evaluations
with flying colorswas given a 3.5 percent salary in-
crease as stipulated by his contract.
With another successful review under his belt, Mr.
Elsassers paycheck has grown by 3.5 percent and the
administrative revolving door has stopped spinning,
at least for now.

CLASP opens tutoring
sessions next week
The Claremont After School Program will kick
off its 2014-2015 school year with tutoring ses-
sions beginning on Monday, September 15.
Tutoring takes place at five Claremont sites.
They are: Claremont Presbyterian Church, 1111 N.
Mountain Ave.; the Blaisdell Community Center,
440 S. College Ave.; Claremont Village Apart-
ments (Community Room), 965 W. Arrow Hwy.;
Good Shepherd Evangelical Lutheran Church,
1700 N. Towne Ave.; and the Wheeler Park Recre-
ation Building, 626 Vista Dr.
To make tutoring arrangements for your child,
contact the CLASP office, located at 1111 N.
Mountain Ave., on Monday, Wednesday or Thurs-
day from 9 a.m. to noon at (909) 204-0127 or send
an email at anytime to clasp.office@gmail.com.
M
any remember the days when the
Village was deserted at night and
the saying roll up the sidewalks
was a fitting description of the city after five
oclock in the evening. Certainly, that is not
the case now.
The Village, along with the rest of the city, is enjoying
an economic boom. We have had, and currently have, city
leadership with enough foresight to capitalize on the
uniqueness of the Village and the city overall. And the
community has had the good sense to make a commit-
ment to preservation to help maintain the historic and
small-town atmosphere that appeals to citizens and visi-
tors alike. And from its inception, the community has em-
braced the concept of city planning.
Another group has played a major role in the civic, eco-
nomic and social growth of the citythe Claremont
Chamber of Commerce. Founded in 1922, the Chamber
was created as part of a campaign by the Los Angeles
Chamber of Commerce to help smaller communities es-
tablish their own organizations. Prior to the citys incor-
poration, the Town Meeting was the informal government
and committees relating to the commercial area were first
established. In December 1908, shortly after incorporat-
ing, through the Town Meeting process, the city organized
the Claremont Board of Trade that acted much in the same
manner as a chamber. The Board of Trade was responsi-
ble for the first city plan.
The initial meeting of the Chamber was held on June
7, 1922, with George Griswold serving as president. The
first year was rocky, as the selection of a permanent sec-
retary became problematic. Dr. H.E. Robbins agreed to
serve until the opening of the college academic year in
September. Summerfield McCartney was then hired, but
he was only in the office a couple of months when George
Cree consented to take the position. Due to illness, Mr.
Cree had to resign and W.O. Hollister was retained as per-
manent secretary in January 1923. But he occupied the
office only until August 1923. Mr. Hollisters tenure was
criticized by the merchants, who protested high fees for
membership. In addition to the yearly dues of $12, sup-
plemental fees were charged. A real estate broker and a
garage proprietor paid an additional $120, a lumber yard
paid $100, a bank paid $240 and a grocery store paid $80.
The extra charges were abandoned when the Chamber re-
organized in late 1923, and Leila Ackerman, who served
as secretary for many years, was hired.
In 1924, the Chamber took over where the Board of
Trade left off and established the first planning commis-
sion to create a civic improvement plan, specifically a
civic center. This action was prompted by the passage of
a bond issue for a new fire station, which raised questions
about its location and design. A front-page story titled
City Planning Commission Aims to Beautify Clare-
mont in the Claremont COURIER of October 2, 1924
reported that Finding later that its mission was intimately
involved with the functions of the city trustees, that body
later adopted the commission and by the passage of an
ordinance, perhaps at the trustees meeting tonight, will
give it official status. In February of 1925, the board
passed an ordinance establishing the Claremont Planning
Commission and appointed five official members. Clare-
mont, with only 2000 residents, became only the 16th city
in California to have a planning commission.
As the commission was being developed, meetings
were held by architect and city planner David Allison to
discuss the possibility of designing compatible civic and
residential buildings. The community was responding to
the same forces that had created the City Beautiful
movement that was prevalent throughout the United
States at that time. Rather than through haphazard devel-
opment, good city planning was the driving force behind
the formation of the planning commission. As the
COURIER noted, There are towns that are pleasing.
They didnt grow so by chance. Behind it all, there was di-
recting and designing intelligence. Other towns are not so
pleasing in appearance; some are positively ugly. But in
Claremont, we have a natural setting and a fine beginning
for a city beautiful.
Under Ms. Ackermans leadership, the Chamber of
Commerce joined the City Beautiful movement in the
1920s. The Chamber hired renowned landscape architect
Ralph Cornell to create the landscape for the new civic
center. The Chamber also loaned out Mr. Cornell to
homeowners free of charge for the planning of their yards.
Ms. Ackerman was a tireless promoter of not just business
and merchant issues, but also civic issues. In a 1925 edi-
tion of the COURIER, she stated, What Claremont is
doing today, California will be doing tomorrow.
The Chamber worked with the city to develop plans
for the civic center and the newly-appointed planning
commissions first order of business was to finalize those
plans. The first part of the new civic center would be on
Second Street and would include a first-floor fire and po-
lice station and a second-floor city hall. The land was pur-
chased in 1923, the bond issue passed in April 1924,
construction began in June 1925, and the building opened
on November 30, 1925.
Given the close relationship between the Chamber and
the city, the Chamber building was constructed on the
northwest corner of Second Street and Harvard Avenue in
1930 as part of the civic center plan created by David Al-
lison and Charles Cheney in the mid-1920s. In 1948, a
new city hall was built around the Chamber and the posts
of the old building were changed to arches to complement
the new design. This building was home to the Chamber
until 1975, when city hall was remodeled and the build-
ing was occupied by the city managers office. The
Chamber moved into the police offices on Second Street
when the police station was completed on Bonita Avenue.
The Chamber remained in the offices until the mid-
1990s, when the expansion and renovation of city hall
caused the Chamber to relocate.
In the early years, the Chamber was involved in many
projects for the betterment of the community, including
securing systematic garbage collection and paving streets.
The organization also supported the construction of the
library, zoning projects, flood control measures, parks and
the post office. The early Fourth of July and Christmas
programs were sponsored by the Chamber.
The most significant influence on Claremonts growth
after World War II was the establishment of the Postwar
Planning Committee by the Chamber of Commerce. Cre-
ated in August 1944, it was often called the Committee
of One Hundred. The committee laid the groundwork
for practices still in place today. Members of the execu-
tive committee chaired a subcommittee that addressed
areas such as the business district, finance, zoning ordi-
nances, street trees, fire and police facilities, school district
planning and parks. Additional recommendations in-
cluded a professional rather than volunteer fire depart-
ment, a city-manager form of government, designation of
street trees for specific streets, the creation of a parks and
recreation commission, tightening of zoning ordinances
and a proposal for a memorial park to honor Claremonts
war dead.
Over the years, many of the civic and social initiatives
undertaken by the Board of Trade, and then by the Cham-
ber, have now become the responsibility of government
agencies and charitable organizations. Although the mis-
sion of the Chamber has changed little, its purpose re-
mains steadfast to its historical beginnings: ...to provide
strong leadership in serving the interest of business, pro-
mote the inter-relationship between business and com-
munity, and encourage business participation with civic
and educational organizations and programs within the
Claremont area. Today, the Chamber remains strong
with over 500 members.
On a recent Friday evening, my wife Karen and I were
enjoying cocktails and the bar menu on the Casa 425
patio. We had stopped by the galleries on the Art Walk
and encountered no less than 20 people we knew, along
with hundreds of others enjoying the Village, as we made
our way to our usual Friday night haunt, the music from
the Public Plaza providing the evenings soundtrack.
All of this did not just happen by chance, just like the
COURIER had proclaimed nearly a hundred years ago.
As we sat and enjoyed the evening, I thought about the
history and the accomplishments of the city and the
Chamber, about the continuum of planning, decisions and
actions that culminated in this exact moment in time, this
exact place, this exact experience. I smiled. Karen in-
quired, What? I replied, What a nice evening.
The Claremont Chamber of Commerce by John Neiuber
Clarification from Ojai FLOW
Dear Editor:
We at Ojai FLOW recently became
aware of Mr. Jim Belnas letter to the
COURIER from September 5. His as-
sertions about why Ojai didnt opt to
use revenue bonds are misleading. It
had nothing to do with timing or taxes,
but was rather a simple matter of cost
due to our unique circumstances.
Ojai FLOWs original analysis did
propose the use of revenue bonds (as
Claremont is currently proposing) be-
cause it is a more equitable distribution
of the bond costs; e.g., the city of Ojai
and Ojai Unified School District would
pay their fair share. That penciled-out
analysis proved to the Casitas Munici-
pal Water District that Ojai ratepayers
could buy their local Golden State
Water Company operations with the
savings derived from using Casitas
water rates. Thats why Casitas took on
the issue for Ojais Golden State
ratepayers.
Mr. Belna is correct about one thing,
though not for the reasons he states.
The Casitas Municipal Water District
did decide to not use revenue bonds to
finance its water system purchase.
However, this does not indicate a prob-
lem with revenue bonds. Revenue
bonds are an excellent financing tool,
which is precisely why we originally
intended to use them. However, be-
cause our bonds are not backed by a
city, the use of Mello Roos bonds
turned out to be more advantageous for
Ojai rate payers.
Claremonts circumstances are quite
different. Since the city of Claremont
would be backing your revenue bonds,
we fully expect that they would be the
most economical and the fairest financ-
ing method for all the ratepayers.
Id also like to refute another point
made by Mr. Belna in his letter. He
said, There is not a single example of
a California city that has successfully
consummated a hostile takeover of a
water utility. To the contrary, Felton,
California, with the help of its San
Lorenzo Water District, successfully
bought out their for-profit water com-
pany a few years back. And in Ojai, 87
percent of the voting ratepayers voted
last August in favor of buying out the
Golden State Water Companys opera-
tions in Ojai.
You might also be interested to learn
that we have personally discussed
water issues with Mr. Belna. His argu-
ments (pun intended) dont hold water.
Our impression of those discussions is
that he was not receptive to new facts
that we brought forward. We believe he
is, for reasons unknown to us, simply
opposed to the citys purchase of your
water system.

ence. Look for Measure V.

Forms of communication
Dear Editor:
You know, Ive heard a rumor about a
method of communication that can be
use to voice personal opinions about a
subject directly to the source. It can be
ignored or passed around as that source
sees fitsaved or discardedbut not
made a part of an historical record, per-
haps. It also can be kept in confidence, if
that is what the communicators are inter-
ested in. Its called a letter or a postcard.
Its personally written and sent to a
specific place or person, who is not
obliged to share it. As a matter of fact
even if there is no expectation of pass-
ing the message on, the act of putting
the message on paper may be its own
purpose.
In the case of a newspaper, such let-
ters to the editor are sent specifically
to share. In the case of a company or a
friend, these missives may not be
meant to share. They may be per-
sonalanyone remember that concept?
Could you substitute the words exclu-
sive or private?
Theres even a machine available to
help the processa privacy machine

Were done with Golden State
Dear Editor:
Golden State Water just sent out a
notice about its current rate increase re-
quest, telling us that some customers
will actually see a decrease in their
water bills. They say an average resi-
dential customer with a 5/8-by-3/4
meter using 15ccf per month would see
a monthly decrease in the princely sum
of 72 cents during the first year.
Of course, since many residences
have one-inch meters and the average
use in Claremont is about 21ccf (from
Golden States website), it doesnt
seem likely many people would benefit
from this tiny decrease, which would in
any case only be for one year.
And, of course, they are asking for
increases on other charges and have
added another rate tier (and lowered the
usages where you pay a higher rate) so
that their profits dont go down.
So why, for the first time in many
years, isnt Golden State asking the
CPUC to approve a double-digit in-
crease in Claremont water rates? I sus-
pect they hope this will make us believe
that they are turning over a new leaf
and listening to us, so there is no need
for us to proceed with purchasing the
water system. Sensible people, how-
ever, clearly see that if we dont gain
control of the water system now, it will
once again and forever be business as
usual with double-digit increase re-
quests every three years.
Golden State Water Company, it is
too little, too late. Youve had plenty of
chances to work with Claremont resi-
dents and refused them all. Wed like
you gone.

Water facts
Dear Editor:
In November, Claremont will vote on
Measure W to authorize the city to
issue up to $135 million in water rev-
enue bonds to acquire the local water
system. The outcome will powerfully
affect our future. Voters need to know
the facts. Unfortunately, comments
from Heather Williams (August 22,
COURIER) mislead in several ways
and readers may believe these are well-
researched facts. They are not. For ex-
ample:
...the proceedings may last some
years. There is little water system
precedent, but there is one. Felton, a
California town of 6000, voted to fund
eminent domain proceeding and acqui-
sition of their water system. The water
company settled before the case went to
trial, in under three years from passage
of the citys bond.
The city of Montclair, for example,
tried to acquire its water system in the
1980s and failed. Thats not so. Mont-
clair has always been served by the
Monte Vista Water District, a public
agency with locally-elected directors.
According to a person involved at the
time, in the 1970s there was some inter-
est on the city council for taking over
the system, but not majority support
and there was no action.
Courts do not always agree there is
an overriding public interest... Where
a water supply is at stake, it would be
hard to conclude there is no public in-
terest.
Plaintiffs [here, that would be
Golden State] get...what they estimate
the property is worth and defendants
pay...more than their highest estima-
tion. That may apply when peoples
houses are condemned, but here the ap-
praised value of $55 million is likely to
powerfully influence the decision on
the value of the system. (And Golden
State is the defendant, not the plaintiff.)
If the city allows, the system may
cost $79 million...the jury may award
$118.5 million...the new total, $143.5
million. The appraised value is $55
million, not $79 million. An award of
$118.5 million would not be expected.
Thats $23,880 for each household
to pay over the period of borrowing.
Even if the above extreme cost estimate
were to apply, the savings on water bills
that didnt include GSW profits would
cover most or all of the cost. This can
be shown by comparison with water
rates in neighboring cities. Why is this
saving overlooked?
Most importantly...the debt we
incur...will constrain our ability to bor-
row for other things like schools... Ac-
cording to experts in city finance, that
is not so. These bonds will be paid with
income from the water enterprise, a de-
sirable low-risk investment for lenders.
And the bond money cannot be used
for other things.
It would function like a huge new
tax. Again, savings are overlooked.
Water bills that no longer include com-
pany profits will cover a debt payment
of up to $80 million, according to con-
servative city estimates. Bond pay-
ments will take the place of current
charges, not add to them.
If all water users are assessed
equally for that debt, the rates for the
smallest and most careful water users
would rise 200 percent or more. Even
if theentire $135 million in bonds were
needed and the monthly bill had to in-
crease by $28, as the city estimates, no
bill would rise as much as 200 percent
since the lowest meter charge alone is
over $16. And, again, savings are not
considered.
Both Heather Williams and Rodney
Smith, PhDs with the Claremont Col-
leges, who hold professorial credentials
in politics and economics, respectively,
conclude in their publications that it
would be foolish to buy the water sys-
tembut they dont mention the well-
known fact that water rates are lower in
all our neighboring cities with munici-
pal water systems, and these cities can
be a model for Claremont. Why do they
overlook facts, so obvious and impor-
tant, that help make the case that it does
make sense to take over our water sys-
tem?

At War with Peace
Dear Editor:
At War with Peace
This thunder of war is so loud, so
deafening
And the melody of peace so tranquil
and sweet
Could the noise be a plea for help or a
submission of defeat?
War roars, rages and ravages
A need to be soothed by the balm of
compassion and understanding
Guided with courage in the spirit of
forgiveness
Let's adorn the armour of faith and
carry the shield of prayer
Go bravely where innocence is being
mauled and fear explodes everywhere
Dear lord please silence the cries of
pain with melodies of love
and hear our plea for the living water
to douse the fire of hatred and mayhem
Let's march forth with our heads held
high and our egos surrendered to end the
war with peace.

T
his fall, Claremont resi-
dents will be asked to
weigh in on a conse-
quential ballot measure that, if
passed, would result in water
bills approximately $100 per
month higher than they are
today. The city is seeking voter
support for a $135 million water
bond.
A local coalition of community mem-
bers, some of whom were born and
raised in Claremont and all of whom
have a vested interest in the future of our
city, have joined together to oppose
Measure W and educate the public about
its harmful consequences.
We are proud to live in a community
of residents who pride themselves on
thoughtful engagement of issues based
on facts. Residents should review the
facts, look closely at the claims being
made about Measure W and ask if its
worth the cost to current and future gen-
erations of Claremont residents.
For our neighbors who believe a
takeover of the water system will lead to
lower water bills, we encourage you to
read the citys own impartial analysis of
the ballot measure, which concedes that
water bills will increase immediately. By
how much? Measure W supporters dont
know and havent provided residents
with the facts to justify the $135 million
plan.
What we do know is thisa former
Claremont McKenna professor studied
Measure Ws debt plan and concluded
that each Claremont household would
have to pay $36,510. Thats an extra
$1,217 per year. Note, this is simply the
cost to pay off the bond obligation and
doesnt include the price to provide water
service or the cost of maintenance.
Look no further than the recent UCLA
water main rupture that tore through Los
Angeles to understand the rising costs to
maintain and replace southern Califor-
nias aging infrastructure. Costs for in-
frastructure repair and replacement are
not included in the $135 million price
tag. Those costs will be factored into fu-
ture water rates and will be borne solely
by Claremont taxpayers.
In the history of California, there has
never been a successful eminent domain
takeover of a water company where the
cost savings and lower rates people
promised actually occurred.
Proponents of eminent domain
takeovers greatly underestimate the
value of a water system. A recent exam-
ple occurred in Santa Cruz County,
where the cost to purchase the Felton
system was 250 percent more than pro-
ponents initially promised ($13.4 million
vs. $5.3 million) and 670 percent more
than takeover supporters initially prom-
ised ($2 million).
Measure W doesnt include any pro-
visions to limit future rate increases. In
10 years, a new city council can raise the
water tax without any voter approval.
Make no mistake, once we are indebted
to bondholders, regardless of how much
water we use, well be forced to pay
down the debt on this $135 million bond
obligation.
Measure W doesnt offer any im-
provements to the local water system and
will only straddle us with long-term debt.
This is an unwise maneuver thats not in
the best interest of Claremont taxpayers.
There are too many questions unan-
swered. We stand by our NO vote.

Barbara Bolinger Mitchell died on
September 3, 2014 at her Palm Desert
home after a valiant six-and-a-half-
year battle with colorectal cancer. She
was 68.
She was surrounded by family and
friends she loved, and who loved her
deeply. Typical of her spirit, throughout
her long illness she fiercely powered
through every situation and obstacle that
confronted her.
She was born in Pomona on May 21,
1946 to Bob and Evalynn Bolinger and
raised in Claremont. Her parents were
onetime owners of the Village Grille and
Casa Flores, and Mr. Bolinger served on
the citys planning commission.
As a youngster, Barbara enjoyed rid-
ing alone on horseback, often bareback,
for hours at a time on the old McKenna
Ranch, loving the total freedom and the
wind in her hair. At Claremont High
School, she was athletic, belonging to
the Girls Athletic Association and play-
ing a variety of sports with great energy.
Her high school classmates remember
her infectious laughter. She was a fun-
loving, somewhat rebellious person who
knew how to enjoy life. After the
Dodgers moved to Los Angeles, she was
a lifelong rabid LA Dodger fan and once
danced with Vin Scully in his broadcast
booth.
After graduating from Claremont
High School in 1964, she studied busi-
ness at Arizona State for two years. She
put her studies on hold when she mar-
ried William Steiner of Claremont and
started a family, but eventually received
her associates degree in interior design.
Throughout her long career as an interior
designer, she served many real estate ac-
counts nationwide. She held marketing
positions with firms such as Technicolor
Inc. and worked in the advertising indus-
try producing print, radio and television
campaigns.
Living her last 18 years in Palm
Desert, she became an avid and able
golfer as well as a delightful golfing
partner, and was a valued contributor to
the Avondale community. President of
the Avondale Womens Golf Club for
two years, she organized many golfing
and social events. She was known as the
life of the party, and never missed a
gathering if she could help it. Always
enthusiastic, totally determined and
committed to the task at hand, she was a
member of the Clubs golf and house
committees. When it came to redesign-
ing facilities, choosing paint colors or
selecting furniture, Barbara was the go-
to person upon whom others depended
for her creative leadership and decision-
making skills.
Even through the struggle with her
cancer, she still gave 120 percent of her-
self in effort, until just recently, when
she could finally give no more to her
beloved Avondale, family shared. To
know Barbara was to love her. She was
a beautiful, vivacious and warm person
who always contributed to the good
humor of her surroundings. She was
quick to laugh, quick-witted and fun to
be around. She will be missed by her
world of relatives and friends who knew
and loved her.
She was predeceased by her husband
Jay Mitchell, who died in 2011. She is
survived by her sister, Jane Bolinger
Reed (John) of Los Altos; by her brother,
Bill Bolinger (Ann) of Fallbrook; by her
son and daughter-in-law, Scott and
Nicole Steiner of Cave Creek, Arizona,
with grandsons Brenden, Jackson and
Greyson; by her daughter and son-in-law,
Mindy and Patrick Green of Huntington
Beach, with granddaughters Samantha
and Jaylene. She also leaves her nieces,
Robyn Reed of Cambridge, Massachu-
setts and Heidi Reed of Pawtucket,
Rhode Island, her adopted brother Terry
Stratton of Carmel Valley and former
husbands William Steiner of Fullerton
and Richard Rakes of Palm Desert.
A celebration of Barbara Mitchells
life will be held on January 11, 2015 at
3:30 p.m. at the Avondale Country Club,
75800 Avondale Dr. Palm Desert.

W
hy would Beethoven, one of the
most influential composers who
ever lived, spend much of his
final years creating nearly three-dozen vari-
ations on a waltz penned by a minor com-
poser?
This question obsesses musicologist Katherine
Brandt, the protagonist of Moiss Kaufmans 33 Vari-
ations. The play, which made its Broadway debut in
2009, is being presented by the local theater company
Ophelias Jump in conjunction with Pomona College.
It is, indeed, a fascinating story. Music publisher
Anton Diabelli challenged numerous noted composers
to adapt his waltzwhich Katherine considers
mediocreas part of a publishing scheme. At first,
Beethoven refused to take the musical dare but, once
he changed his mind, the waltz and all of the possibili-
ties it presented became one of the ailing composers
chief preoccupations. He went on to create not just one
composition but a suite of 33 variations, which famed
music writer Donald Tovey called the greatest set of
variations ever written.
Katherine is so curious about this remarkable turn-
about that she leaps at the chance to travel to Bonn,
Germany to examine Beethovens notebooks firsthand.
Her choice to undertake the journey would normally be
a no-brainer, considering that she is an impassioned
Beethoven scholar. It is complicated, however, by the
fact that she has been diagnosed with swiftly progress-
ing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), more com-
monly known as Lou Gehrigs disease.
Anticipating an inexorable physical deterioration, her
daughter Clara begs her not to go but Katherine is un-
deterred. What follows is a theatrical tapestry depict-
ing a present-day musicologist searching for truth and
an 18th century composer following an unpredictable
but inspired muse against all odds.
Dancing amid the music, Beethovens variations pre-
sented quite literally by gifted pianist Vernon Snyder, is
how Clara faces her mothers mortality while Kather-
ine comes to terms with her daughters free-spirited
choices and resultant mediocrity.
Now in its second season, Ophelias Jump is proving
to be a rich addition to Claremonts cultural scene. The
casting of 33 Variations is impeccable and, under the
fine direction of Ophelias Jump co-founder Caitlin
Lopez, Mr. Kaufmans play and the musical world of
18th century Germany spring to life.
Veteran actress Vicky Dawson Irvine is particularly
affecting in her turn as Katherine, a driven academic
who, it seems, must literally lose control of her body
before she can order to let go of her rigid views. Her
physical transformation, from poised scholar to a
woman who must struggle to walk, speak and even
swallow is wrenching.
William Gillian as Beethoven is every inch the mu-
sical genius, tormented by tinnitus and failing hearing
as well as an array of health problems but beguiled by
the heavenly sounds of the music in his mind.
Other standouts include Max Herzfeld as
Beethovens beleaguered but faithful servant Schindler
and Rich Briggs as Diabelli, who as a businessman is
impatient to get Beethovens variations in hand but as
a diehard music lover knows that whatever the com-
poser is creating is worth the wait.
Ann Thomas shines as Dr. Gertrude Ladenbarger,
custodian of the library where Beethovens works are
housed. She exudes a compelling combination of rev-
erence for Beethoven, concern for the physical and
emotional struggles of Katherine and her daughter and
the famous German restraint. And Lea Tranks Clarea
epitomizes emotional openness and spiritedness, qual-
ities that serve her well in this difficult time, even as
they underline her mothers determinedly cool exterior.
The cast is rounded out by Joe Martone as nurse Mike
Clark, who helps ground the Brandt family in the often
grim reality of ALS while capturing Claras heart.
Timing is everything in the theater, and the medical
storyline of 33 Variations couldnt be more timely. At
the start of a matinee last Sunday, Ophelias Jump co-
founder Beatrice Casagran shared that the company had
selected 33 Variations for its season starter months be-
fore the Ice Bucket Challenge went viral at the start
of this summer, promoting awareness and raising
money for the fight against ALS.
Not only did the theater company undertake the chal-
lenge, soaking themselves with icy water and then do-
nating money to the ALS Association. A basket was
placed next to the snacks sold during the intermission,
where guests could opt to make a donation to the or-
ganization.
School board member Hilary LaConte was one of
the 55 theater-supporting Curtain Raisers in attendance
at Sundays performance of 33 Variations held in
Pomona Colleges Allen Theatre. She praised the inti-
macy of the venue as well as the performance itself.
The play gives you the ability to listen to the story
behind Beethovens writing of 33 Variations, listen to
the piano and listen for the variations, Ms. LaConte
said.
I loved the way the professor is collecting data,
looking at history and trying to figure things out, she
continued. She starts with one hypothesis and ends up
with another. I like seeing the scientific process played
out in the field of music.
Katherine can be abrasive at times, but Ms. LaConte
said she was able to identify with the gutsy protagonist.
She was a professional woman struggling to main-
tain her life, she said. It would be so hard to let that
go.
The community will not have to let go of the talents
of Ophelias Jump anytime soon. At the performance,
it was announced that the company will again present
its Midsummer Nights Shakespeare Festival at
Pomona Colleges Greek Theater next summer, with
performances of The Twelfth Night and Antony and
Cleopatra in the works.
Performances of 33 Variations will continue this
weekend, September 12 through September 14, with
performances set for Friday at 8 p.m.; Saturday at 3 and
8 p.m. and Sunday at 4 p.m. Shows are held in the Allen
Studio Theater at Pomona College, 300 E. Bonita Ave.
in Claremont.
Tickets are $25 general admission and $22 for stu-
dents and seniors and can be purchased online at
www.opheliasjump.org. For more information, call
(909) 624-1464.

have been disclosed within 24 hours pur-
suant to the Political Reform Act.
Donna Lowe, founding member of
CAWA and spokesperson for Stop the
Water TaxVote No on W, received an
email from a Claremont resident referring
to the mailer as propaganda and isnt
surprised by the allegations against the
city.
Jay Pocock, Mark Sterba and I were
on a conference call and Jay mentioned he
thought the mailer was unlawful. We
talked to Randle Communications about
it and we were all in agreement, says Ms.
Lowe. If the city is going to put a zinger
out there, what we can do is ensure the pe-
tition isnt wasting our money and that
they are adhering to campaign laws.
The allegations put forth in the five-
page letter from Mr. Hiltachk were ini-
tially discussed at Tuesdays council
meeting, with City Attorney Sonia Car-
valho addressing the matter and working
to debunk any wrongdoing.
Mr. Hiltachk alleges that the citys
communication is a campaign piece be-
cause it was prepared, designed and dis-
tributed by a special campaign consult-
ant, Ms. Carvalho stated. He says that
the communication was based on voter re-
search, it looks like a campaign mailer and
that it is one-sided.He is simply wrong.
As the COURIER previously reported,
the Claremont City Council unanimously
approved the use of $176,000 from the
citys general fund to hire Fiona Hutton &
Associates to assist with public outreach
as it pertains to the water system acquisi-
tion. The independent firm has worked on
several ballot initiative campaigns and
specializes in complex policy issues and
public education.
Our consultant, Fiona Hutton, is
highly regarded and experienced in ad-
vising public agencies on informational
materials, Ms. Carvalho said. She and
our law firm clearly know the difference
between an information piece and politi-
cal advocacy.
Ms. Hutton addressed city council and
staff on July 8, reiterating her firms role
and responsibility in adhering to the
guidelines put forth by the Fair Political
Practices Commission.
We are well aware, particularly on this
issue, that we have many eyes on us, she
said. We have been very, very careful in
advising council and our staff on where
that line is between information and ad-
vocacy. Were well aware of it, were
mindful of it and we will not cross that
line.
Ms. Carvalho assured council members
that the city has complied with campaign
laws and communicated in a fact-based,
unbiased manner regarding the ballot
measure.
The citys materials convey past and
present facts, including how and why
water service has become so important to
the citys residents; the communication is
not argumentative and does not encourage
a vote in support or against Measure W.
Ms. Lowe disagrees.
The city was campaigning for votes;
the language about rates skyrocketing,
cities owning their own water and local
control. The city has walked a fine line on
this from the beginning. Unless youre re-
ally paying attention, youll get rail-
roaded.
One thing is clear for Ms. Lowe, the
November water bond measure will not
get her vote.
This is my home, thats what pisses
me off about all of it, says Ms. Lowe.
What the city is asking for with this bond
measure is a lifetime of debt. I dont like
debt. If we cant afford to pay cash for it at
my house, we dont get it. I expect my
city, my government and my nation to do
the same.
Mr. Hiltachk submitted a Public
Records Request for all writings between
city staff and Hutton & Associates relating
to the water bond mailer, research refer-
enced in Huttons contract and any other
contract between the city and the vendor
regarding Measure W.
According to Ms. Carvalho, city staff
will continue to move forward with the
goal of educating and informing Clare-
mont residents on the facts and their
choices in November, despite the allega-
tions against the city.
A formal response to the cease and de-
sist demand and Public Records Act re-
quest will be prepared by the city. The
COURIER will continue to provide those
details as they become available.

WATER BOND/continued from page 3
Hard work pays off for Wolfpack football in 21-13 win
C
laremont showed its Pack Pride on
Friday, September 5, making their
first win at their second non-season
game against the Salesian Mustangs with a
score of 21-13.
Despite their loss on the first game against the El
Rancho Dons, the Wolfpack defeated the Mustangs,
who were the CIF champions last year and were nom-
inated as one of the top 15 football teams in California.
The Pack devoted extra practices to bring home a
spectacular win, Head Coach Mike Collins explained.
It was a fantastic game, Coach Collins said. Our
team played awesome on defense. The Mustangs were
so fast and athletic that we couldnt throw the ball, so
we stuck to the ground game. We kept fighting back
hard and Im just really thankful that the teams hard
work paid off.
The Pack started with a kickoff to the Mustangs. The
game progressed slowly, as it seemed that the skills of
each team were even. Both teams struggled to get to the
ends of the field for a score, but then came a change of
pace when the Pack surged up to score the first touch-
down through running back Duy Tran-Sampson with 9
minutes and 5 seconds left in the third quarter. The ec-
static crowd cheered for the team and Tran-Sampson,
who had consistently made yard gains.
I feel tired and Im all beat up, Tran-Sampson said.
But it was worth it to hear everyone cheer. We played
hard, we stopped their run plays, and we brought it to
them.
With 5 minutes into the third quarter, the Mustangs
quickened their gameplay with the hope of outrunning
Claremont. Their efforts were cut short when middle
linebacker James Stephens almost immediately tackled
the ball carrier.
The Mustangs then fumbled the ball on a punt to the
one-yard line for a Wolfpack take away. The clock was
at 6 minutes and 35 seconds. The Pack saw their op-
portunityand took itwhen quarterback Ryan
OConnor made a sneak to score a touchdown, ad-
vancing the score to 14-0.
I tried to be as calm and composed as I could dur-
ing the game, OConnor said. We knew that we were
fighting a tough opponent, but we had the determination
that it wasnt going to stop us from playing well.
The Wolfpack and the Mustangs had strong defen-
sive plays, challenging OConnor to make long passes
to his receivers. The Mustangs pushed even harder
against Claremont, even causing an injury to player
Cameron Gray after a hard tackle.
The Pack tried to keep the pressure from the Mus-
tangs under control, but were unsuccessful when Mus-
tangs running back Kyahva Tezino scored a
touchdown with 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter.
With a minute and 5 seconds left in the fourth quar-
ter, Jeremy Kelley scored another touchdown for the
Mustangs, putting the score at 14-13. CHS tight end
Parker Bowman made a huge block of an extra point
kicked by Heriberto Maldonado of the Mustangs, suc-
cessfully stopping the Mustangs from tying the score.
At this moment, the crowd could not sit any longer.
Yells of encouragement and cheers from the Clare-
mont Crazies got the Pack fighting harder. From the
11-yard line to goal for the Mustangs, the Pack intensi-
fied their plays even further.
Tran-Sampson and Gray received handoff passes
from OConnor and made a total of 70-yard gains for
Claremont, who were inching closer to the goal line.
With just 49.8 seconds left in the game, and OCon-
nor at the 20-yard line, a handoff was made to Tran-
Sampson who then rushed for the touchdown, claiming
the win for the Wolfpack.
At their next game, Claremont will clash with the
Vikings at Mountain View High School on Friday, Sep-
tember 12 at 7 p.m.

and enjoys spending time with her family. Her favorite
hobbies, she notes, include cooking, gardening, painting
and studying the stars.

NOTICE OFPETITION TO ADMINISTER
ESTATE OFCHARLES E. HUNTER
CASE NO. BP150731
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent
creditors, and persons who may otherwise be in-
terested in the will or estate, or both, of
CHARLES E. HUNTER:
A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by
ELEANOR ARIZMENDI in the Superior Court
of California, County of Los Angeles.
THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that
ELEANOR ARIZMENDI be appointed as per-
sonal representative to administer the estate of the
decedent.
The PETITION requests authority to administer
the estate under the Independent Administration
of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the per-
sonal representative to take many actions without
obtaining court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the personal rep-
resentative will be required to give notice to in-
terested persons unless they have waived notice
or consented to the proposed action.) The inde-
pendent administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an objection to
the petition and shows good cause why the court
should not grant the authority.
A HEARING ON THE PETITION WILL BE
HELD IN THIS COURT AS FOLLOWS:
Date: September 18, 2014 Time: 8:30 a.m. in
Dept.: 29 Room: located at:
Superior Court Of California,
County Of Los Angeles,
111 North Hill Street
Los Angeles, CA 90012
Central District
IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition,
you should appear at the hearing and state your
objections or file written objections with the court
before the hearing. Your appearance may be in
person or by your attorney.
IF YOU ARE ACREDITOR or a CONTINGENT
CREDITOR OF THE DECEDENT, you must file
your claim with the court and mail a copy to the
personal representative appointed by the court
within the later of either (1) four months from
the date of first issuance of letters to a general per-
sonal representative, as defined in section 58 (b)
of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal delivery to
you of a notice under section 9052 of the Califor-
nia Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal authority
may affect your rights as a creditor. You may
want to consult with an attorney knowledge-
able in California law.
YOU MAY EXAMINE THE FILE KEPT BY
THE COURT. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a Request
for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of
an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of
any petition or account as provided in Probate
Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice
form is available from the court clerk.

Made pursuant to Section 3371, Revenue and
Taxation Code
Pursuant to Sections 3381 through 3385, Revenue
and Taxation Code, the Notice of Power to Sell
Tax Defaulted Property in and for Los Angeles
County, State of California, has been divided and
distributed to various newspapers of general cir-
culation published in the County. Aportion of the
list appears in each of such newspapers.
I, Mark J. Saladino, County of Los Angeles Tax
Collector, State of California, certify that:
Notice is hereby given that the real properties
listed below were declared to be in tax default at
12:01 a.m. on July 1, 2012, by operation of law.
The declaration of default was due to non-pay-
ment of the total amount due for the taxes, as-
sessments, and other charges levied in the
2011-2012 tax year that were a lien on the listed
real property. Property upon which a nuisance
abatement lien has been recorded and non-resi-
dential commercial property shall be subject to
sale if the taxes remain unpaid after three years.
If the 2011-2012 taxes remain unpaid after June
30, 2015, the property will be subject to sale at
public auction in 2016. All other property that re-
mains unpaid after June 30, 2017, will be subject
to sale at public auction in 2018. The name of the
assessee and the total tax, which was due on June
30, 2012, for the 2011-12 tax year, is shown op-
posite the parcel number. Tax defaulted real prop-
erty may be redeemed by payment of all unpaid
taxes and assessments, together with the addi-
tional penalties and fees as prescribed by law, or
it may be paid under an installment plan of re-
demption.
All information concerning redemption of tax-de-
faulted property will be furnished, upon request,
by Mark J. Saladino, Treasurer and Tax Collec-
tor, 225 North Hill Street, Los Angeles, California
90012, 1(888) 807-2111 or 1(213) 974-2111.

ing is true and correct. Executed at Los Angeles,

SUMMARY OF ORDINANCE
INTRODUCED AT THE REGULAR
CLAREMONT CITY COUNCIL
MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 9, 2014
(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)
SUMMARY OF THE ORDINANCE OF THE
CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CLAREMONT AMENDING CHAPTER
16.148 (PUBLIC ART) OF THE CLARE-
MONT MUNICIPAL CODE, REVISING
AND UPDATING VARIOUS SECTIONS
As part of the Public Art Master Plan Process,
the Citys Public Art Ordinance, Chapter 16.148
of the Claremont Municipal Code is proposed to
be updated to provide clearer direction on the
administration of the Public Art Program. Some
of the changes to the ordinance include changing
the title from Community Art Program to
Public Art Program, as well as the addition of
definitions for key terms that are used through-
out the document. The title Public Art Pro-
gram was selected because the ordinance is
specific to public art. Community art pro-
grams typically refer to a comprehensive arts
and culture program that embraces and supports
both public and private efforts.
The amendments to Chapter 16.148 (Public Art)
are summarized as follows:
Establishes a Public Art Committee, consisting
of 7 members appointed by the City Council to
provide expert advice regarding the Public Art
Program policies and procedures, artist selec-
tion, review panels, artwork review, processes
for development projects, and maintenance and
conservation of artwork.
Establishes the requirement that ten percent of
the value of all new public art projects with a re-
quired artwork valuation of $20,000 or greater
be deposited into a Public Art Fund for future
maintenance and implementation of the Public
Art Program.
Establishes policies for the gifts and loans of
artwork, as well as the deaccession of artwork.
Provides minor adjustments to the public art
requirements for the process for reviewing pub-
lic art for new development projects.
Revises the Architectural Commissions role in
reviewing public art for new development projects.
Assigns responsibility to the City Manager, or
his designee, for the administration of the Pub-
lic Art Program.
Clarifies the process for the approval of public
art for new development.
Expands the requirement for maintenance and
replacement of public art for new development.
Revises the eligible uses for the Public Art Fund.
Requires the creation of an annual Public Art
Workplan developed by the Public Art Committee.

FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF
TRUST The property heretofore described is
being sold as is. The street address and other
common designation, if any, of the real property
described above is purported to be: 510
GOLDEN SPRINGS DRIVE, #E, DIAMOND
BAR, CA 91765-1459 The undersigned Trustee
disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the
street address and other common designation, if
any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without
covenant or warranty, express or implied, regard-
ing title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the
remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured
by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as
provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under
the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees,
charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the
trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total
amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations
secured by the property to be sold and reasonable
estimated costs, expenses and advances at the
time of the initial publication of this Notice of
Trustees Sale is estimated to be $115,714.55 (Es-
timated). However, prepayment premiums, ac-
crued interest and advances will increase this
figure prior to sale. Beneficiarys bid at said sale
may include all or part of said amount. In addi-
tion to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashiers
check drawn on a state or national bank, a check
drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check
drawn by a state or federal savings and loan as-
sociation, savings association or savings bank
specified in Section 5102 of the California Fi-
nancial Code and authorized to do business in
California, or other such funds as may be accept-
able to the Trustee. In the event tender other than
cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the is-
suance of the Trustees Deed Upon Sale until
funds become available to the payee or endorsee
as a matter of right. The property offered for sale
excludes all funds held on account by the prop-
erty receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is un-
able 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 suc-
cessful bidder shall have no further recourse. No-
tice to Potential Bidders If you are considering
bidding on this property lien, you should under-
stand that there are risks involved in bidding at a
Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not
on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a
Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you
to free and clear ownership of the property. You
should also be aware that the lien being auctioned
off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bid-
der at the auction, you are or may be responsible
for paying off all liens senior to the lien being
auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to
the property. You are encouraged to investigate
the existence, priority, and size of outstanding
liens that may exist on this property by contacting
the county recorder's office or a title insurance
company, either of which may charge you a fee
for this information. If you consult either of these
resources, you should be aware that the same
Lender may hold more than one mortgage or
Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property
Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale
may be postponed one or more times by the Mort-
gagee, 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 Priority Posting and Pub-
lishing at 714-573-1965 for information regard-
ing the Trustee's Sale or visit the Internet Web site
