READERS COMMENTS
Establishing truth
Dear Editor: The July 25 readers comment submitted by Douglas Lyon challenged readers to cite wording in the Constitution that prohibits even non-denominational prayers at a citysponsored event. His challenge requires citing Supreme Court rulings, since such questions have always needed court consideration and rulings. For example, the Supreme Court held that a religious invocation, instituted by school officials, at a public school graduation violated the Establishment Clause (Lee v. Weisman, 505 U.S. 577, 112 S. Ct. 2649, 120 L. Ed. 2d 467 [1992]. However, since he refers to very flawed Supreme Court rulings, his challenge cannot be taken seriously. Obviously he believes that only his opinions are worthy of consideration. Hardly the basis for any serious search for the truth.

Green vs. greed

Dear Editor: Last April, then Mayor Sam Pedroza accepted a prestigious Green Award on behalf of Claremont as the first city in California to be so honored for its sustainability efforts. With diminished crops and higher food prices resulting from record-setting temperatures around the country, being a Green City is something that we can all support. Not long after accepting this Green Award, Mr. Pedroza and Councilmembers Joe Lyons and Larry Schroeder endorsed Chris Holden, city councilman for the city of Pasadena, in his run for the 41st Assembly district. Mr. Holden has been raised on politics during his life as the son of longtime LA Councilman Nate Holden. What exactly caught the eye of Mr. Pedroza and the city council that led them to endorse Mr. Holden? After all, the Pasadena Star News withheld its endorsement of Mr. Holden during the June primary and instead endorsed 2 other candidates. (See Star-News Endorsements on Tuesdays ballot, June 2.) Should the many concerns cited by Mr.

Holdens own backyard newspaper serve as a heads up to Claremont voters? Perhaps the thought process of Mr. Pedroza and the 2 city councilmembers, still beaming from their acceptance of a Green Award, went something like this: Chris Holden is a Democrat. So, Holden must be green. We are a Green City. Therefore, lets endorse Chris Holden! Mr. Pedroza and the councilmembers ought to know that their support of Mr. Holden doesnt quite line up with the admirable, green standards of our city. When Mr. Holden says he is green, he must be referring to the color of all the money his campaign has been receiving from Big Oil. Should Mr. Holden ever win a Green Award, it wont be for the same reasons that Claremont worked so hard to win that award. Having been a certified bean counter in a former life, allow me to get out a pencil and paper to do some political accounting. 1. Chevron has been the largest contributor to the Political Action Committee (PAC) called California for Jobs and a Strong Economy (CJSE) per www.election track.com. 2. CJSE has been the largest contributor to the PAC called Alliance for Californias Tomorrow (ACT) per www.electiontrack.com. 3. In the last few weeks running up to primary election day, ACT spent approximately $129,000 attacking a key campaign opponent of Mr. Holdens while reportedly making the largest donation to the Holden campaign (Pasadena Star News, Late Campaign Contributions Fuel Attack Ads, June 16, 2012). Did you follow that? Money moves from Chevron to CJSE to ACT to Mr. Holdens campaign, directly or indirectly, through attack ads against Holdens opponents and through outright contributions. Yet, our Green Citys politicians seem okay with all of this. In the meantime, Mr. Holden often gets credit for running a positive campaign as a major oil company funds PACs that do Mr. Holdens dirty work. These PACs seem to wrap themselves up in cozy names in an at-

tempt to fly under the radar as to their funding sources that help dictate PAC actions. By accepting funds from these PACs, Mr. Holden appears to envision a tomorrow that will feature more gas stations and freeways. I would think that particular tomorrow would be beneficial to Chevron. Speaking of freeways, Mr. Holden has been a staunch proponent of one of the worst freeway projects in the entire country (Read the 2004 report, Road to Ruin, by Friends of the Earth at www.foe.org). This project is better known as the 710 freeway extension in South Pasadena. The 710 freeway extension is projected to double traffic flow and substantially increase particulate pollution in adjacent communities. More pollution = more gas usage. Score another point for Chevron. By endorsing Mr. Holden, our citys politicians have shown an indication of their true color, but I am not so sure that their color is all that green. Jerry Hodge

Village West live-work loft development approved by council
ith unanimous approval by the Claremont City Council Tuesday night, the Village West Expansion Plan, nearly 12 years in the making, is complete.
The council approved a code amendment to allow the development of a 4-story, commercial mixed-use and residential building to take over the last CITY available parcel of Village West. An inCOUNCIL ternal parking garage and additional mixed-use building next door to the main attraction also received approval. Brought forward by Denley Investment and Management Company, the project will take over the vacant Richs Product site located on the corner Oberlin Avenue and First Street. The council gave its approval to allow commercial mixed-use throughout the first floor of the building. Approval was given under the condition that proposed personal services businesses would be required to have a conditional-use permit, and council review, to ensure its compatibility with the surrounding area. As great as this project sounds, I would feel more comfortable if we had just that small little involvement, said Councilmember Sam Pedroza, addressing the developer. Perhaps that could be something that helps you to identify and work with retailers that want to come in. Mr. Pedroza initiated the conditional-use requirement to address the concerns of Village West residents. One of the concerned, a homeowner in the Village Walk adjacent to the proposed development, feared businesses would take advantage of the commercial mixed-use designation. I just would not like to see a massage parlor or fast food or any type of business that could use a loophole where a conditional-use permit is not required to establish itself, said Claremont resident Jason Ryan, who says he lives less than 100 feet from the proposed development. Tentatively titled The Village Lofts, the project was deemed favorable by the Claremont Planning Commission last month because it fit the urban environment Village Wests expansion plan originally called for, according to Commission Chair Jeff Hammill. The 1.66acre parcel includes retail and live/work spaces on the first 2 floors, with residential apartments on the 2 floors above and a rooftop pool. A restaurant is proposed for
the corner space on the first floor. The development also gained the commissions favor in what they view as the flexibility provided by the commercial mixed-use designation. We view this as an opportunity to allow the developer to have the possibility of doing a couple of different things as market conditions will ultimately dictate, Mr. Hammill said, so we dont find ourselves in a position where a project is scrapped or we go into another review because the nature of the project has to change. To some, the plan is inconsistent with what was originally envisioned for the Village West parcel, alluded former Planning Commissioner Tom Anderson, who came forward during public comment. We wanted something that would complement and not overshadow the residences to the north. Anything taller than 2 stories would be relegated to the area along the tracks and moving west, Mr. Anderson said. To allow something of this scope and size to go in moves away from the tradition and history, and what everyone wanted the Village to be, which is just that: a village. But the council was satisfied with the height, stating that it compares with nearby buildings like Casa 425 and The Packing House. Though commission reviews of the development leading up to the councils deciding vote drew a slew of concerned residents, Tuesdays meeting remained relatively light on the public comment, most statements merely offered feedback on how to ensure that the use of the project aligns with the nearby residential communities. Mr. Pedroza said he recognized residents concerns with the project, vocalized or not, which was the reason the conditional-use permit requirement was added. The council hopes it will provide a safeguard and partial source of comfort for those with lingering doubts. The height issue scares some folks, just like it scared some folks when the expansion was just starting out, Mr. Pedroza recognized. But I think the other issue is whats going to go in there. Thats where there could be perhaps more cooperation and more involvement. Occupy Claremont pushes for transparency Transparency and fair process is still at the core interest of the Claremont City Council and its banking practices, assured Claremont City Council members at Tuesday nights meeting. The statement was sparked after Occupy Claremont members came forward during public comment to urge
the council to adopt a responsible banking ordinance. The ordinance would promote banking with local or regional businesses who have a record of community investment and demonstrate good corporate citizenship through local charitable giving and volunteering. The ordinance also asks for full disclosure from the city on the names and locations of all banks receiving a Request for Proposal (RFP) and that all bids remain available to the public. Occupiers would like to see all criteria used in selecting a bankas well as any bids and information receivedpublished on the citys website. We hope that the process you use will be transparent, said Terry Donnally of Occupys Foreclosure and Bank Task Force, who encouraged the formation of a citizens advisory group to help in the process. Council members are restricted from making any formal motion on items discussed during public comment as outlined in the Brown Act, however, Councilmember Joe Lyons noted the councils support of Occupys efforts on banking and foreclosure, and requested that city staff review the groups ordinance and requests. The RFP itself is something we discussed as a council earlier and thought there was an opportunity, Mr. Lyons said. What is being asked of us is something we have agreement on...and the transparency issue is one that I certainly assume will happen. Mayor Larry Schroeder assured residents that the council will continue to do so with proposals for a new bank, though he cautioned against too many restrictions or criteria within the RFP as called for in the banking ordinance. If we put more requirements on them, I think we would get less responses to the RFPs, he said, noting his own experience working with other cities on similar requests. Mr. Schroeder added, We can certainly discuss it. Councilmember Corey Calaycay urged fellow councilmembers and city staff to adhere to a consistent, transparent policy on the RFPs, if and when the time comes. Mr. Schroeder also explained that the city keeps very little money in checking accounts, with the bulk of the citys cashflow held by the state in a pooled account. Claremont administrators will review Occupys submission while continuing its research into moving available city funds to a local bank.

Price increased to enjoy Claremonts Wilderness Park
t will soon cost you $3 every 4 hours, or $100 annually to park at the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park.
The Claremont City Council approved the parking charges Tuesday night, 5-0, along with a $33,000 contract for the purchase of parking meters from Pacific Parking Systems, Inc. An additional $5000 for paper costs and extra parts associated will also be designated. City staff will still explore possible price differences associated with leasing the meters instead. Meter installation is anticipated for early October, following the completion of expansions to the Wilderness Loops north parking lot. The council approved the metered parking with the agreement that it would be reviewed again in in a year or sooner if deemed necessary. I think there is going to be a lot of fluctuation...and we need to have that flexi-
bility of trying to manage what the right price will be, Councilmember Sam Pedroza said. I think staff needs the flexibility to fluctuate accordingly. Councilmember Corey Calaycay hesitantly added his support for the fees, uncomfortable ticketing those that may accidentally go over the 4-hour time limit because unaware of how long it takes them complete the Loop. Id rather know we have a problem...and address it then rather than now assuming everybody is going to it within 4 hours, Mr. Calaycay said. The same issue was previously addressed by the city council at a meeting in March. The 4-hour increment was decided upon because of its compatibility with other parking systems. In all other parking systems its based on time. You pay for the amount of time you want to park, City Manager Tony Ramos said. Mr. Ramos noted the time limit can be
brought back to the council if issues such as Mr. Calaycay suggested do arise. Our goal is to not give citations for people after paying for parking there, Mr. Ramos said. We could always bring that back and adjust that. While the 4-hour increment will remain, the price of the annual pass has been doubled from its original proposal because of the fear that a $50 charge would be too low. Its low enough that its going to create a situation where everyones going to be buying the annual passes because they think they are getting around the $3, Mr. Calaycay said. Two meters will be placed in the north lot at Mills Avenue with the third meter in the south lot. Parking lot users will asked to use a debit or credit card to pay for their spot. Cash will not be accepted. The majority of users are accustomed to that and prefer that, explained Brian Desatnik, director of community devel-
opment. It vastly simplifies the maintenance and operational responsibilities for the city. Trailblazers will park and then insert their payment along with the corresponding parking spot number into the centralized meter at the front of the lot. A receipt will be given, but will not need to be placed back in the car because parking enforcers will be able to regulate from the meter itself. This plan was modified from previous discussions of a receipt placed in a window because of concerns with noise and convenience, according to Mr. Desatnik. We were really trying to minimize the number of trips back to the vehicle and the number of car doors opening and closing, he explained. Annual pass holders will be given a decal for their car. Claremont residents will still be allowed to park in the south lot for

Councilmember Joe Lyons. Therein lies the potential success of this program. Adopting an ordinance has been more than a year in the making between city staff and members of the Committee for Safe and Healthy Housing. The committee was founded in 2006 by a group of Claremont residents, to promote quality of life improvement and reduce criminal activity in multi-family complexes. In 2009, with the help of the committee, Claremont adopted a program coinciding with this mission. Subsequently, the city council made it a priority to adopt an ordinance to promote healthy and safe practices.
City ordinance aims to up standards for housing complexes
he Claremont City Council unanimously approved a multi-family housing ordinance on Tuesday to better maintain and safeguard complexes designated under the citys crime and healthy housing program.
Managers of the 28 multi-family complexes designated under the programwhich includes the newlyestablished Courier Place affordable housing development and other complexes with 10 or more unitswill now be required to obtain a Multi-Family Rental License. Those without the license will be restricted from renting vacant spaces until the license is obtained. To obtain the license required by the new ordinance, applicants must provide written authorization from the complexs owner and a 24-hour non-business phone number for use in emergencies. Though the licenses will expire in one years time, or sooner, they will be given free of charge at a cost of about $10,400 to the city, money previously budgeted for crime and healthy housing activities, according to a financial report. As a part of the new ordinance, designated complexes will be subject to annual inspections. Noncompliance at any time will result in the revoking of the license. If a rise in crime within a complex is detected by Claremont police, the manager must work with enforcement officers to develop an action plan. The council was pleased to see its passage, bringing to realization a longtime city council priority. It sets up these cooperative, working relationships between the various stakeholders...who may be having difficulty establishing a safe environment, said
According to the ordinance, It is found and declared that there exists in the city of Claremont substandard residential buildings and dwelling units, the physical conditions and characteristics of which are such as to be detrimental to or jeopardize the health, safety and welfare of their occupants and of the public.
While a majority of complexes are very well managed and maintained, there have been a few complexes in recent years where the property conditions have become deteriorated and where criminal activity has increased, said Brian Desatnik, director of community development, adding that the ordinance aims at preventing such problems from occurring in the future. However, some felt the ordinance and some of its requirements, already established as part of the code of the state of California, simply added another level of unnecessary bureaucracy. I work in my apartments 40 to 50 hours a week minimum 5 days a week Im on call 24 hours a day, 7
days a week, said David Frack, who owns and manages 71 units in Claremont. I dont wantdont needgovernment intervention with my property. I can take care of it myself. My tenants are pampered I take great pride in my buildings. If you have problem buildings and owners, take care of them, dont hassle people like me, Mr. Frack continued, calling for an exemption. Deterioration and crime is not restricted to multifamily complexes, noted Paul Steffen of Claremonts Wheeler/Steffen Property Management. The truth is a single-family home can be poorly managed and not meet code requirements. A duplex, a fourplex, a sixplex and all the way up, Mr. Steffen said. If you are going to do the ordinance, you should do it for all rental properties. Councilmember Corey Calaycay, who owns and manages properties in Orange County himself, recognized the due diligence of those like Mr. Frack and Mr. Steffen and the impact the ordinance might have. Unfortunately, the way these laws work, sometimes people who are doing the right thing end up getting punished, even though we are trying to address a problem group, Mr. Calaycay said, adding an amendment to review the ordinances impact in a years time. The priority is to first implement the ordinance and figure out what works, according to Mr. Pedroza, adding his support for Mr. Calaycays amendment. We all want the same for every single resident in this community, whether they are renters, owners, they own apartment complexes, or whether you dont own anything, Mr. Pedroza said. We want the best of what Claremont has to offer and that is what this ordinance provides. Beth Hartnett

High-speed pursuit leads Claremont police to San Bernardino

A high-speed pursuit ended in arrest Friday night, but not before traveling clear into San Bernardino. The chase began around 9 p.m. on South Indian Hill Boulevard near the 10 freeway. The man failed to stop for Claremont police, who were alerted of the stolen car, instead leading them on the 10 freeway headed west. He attempted to throw police off his path by exiting at Dudley Avenue, running a stop and heading back onto the freeway going east, but police continued in pursuit. Claremont police exited the chase around Vineyard Avdled. The thieves, described as 2 black males, were last seen driving onto the 210 freeway heading east. Monday, July 23 Police are searching for a man involved in an early-morning break-in in the 400 block of West Foothill Boulevard. It is believed that the man entered Pacifica Recovery Services through a rooftop door, according to a city news release. Though several computer stations had been moved, police believe the crook was stopped before any of computers could be stolen. The business owner is in the process of identifying what might have been taken. Police describe the man as tall and thin, wearing a gray sweatshirt, blue enue in Ontario, at which time California Highway Patrol and other agencies took over, according to Det. DeMetz. The chase reached speeds of 120 miles per hour, and called for additional support including the use of a helicopter. The man was finally detained in the 2000 block of Fifth Street in San Bernardino. Police arrested a 16-year-old juvenile with previous stolen vehicle arrests, said Det. DeMetz. He is being held at Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall. No injuries were sustained during the pursuit.

Karl Benjamin
Famed abstract painter, noted Claremonter
Karl Benjamin, a longtime Claremonter and a renowned abstract painter, died at home on Thursday, July 26 of congestive heart failure at the age of 86. He was surrounded by family. Noted for his vibrant geometric works, Mr. Benjamin is widely acknowledged as one of the founding fathers of the Hard Edge painting movement. Not only did Mr. Benjamin make an impact in the art world, he also sought to instill his artistic knowledge and passion in others. Always visible in Claremont, he served as professor and artist-in-residence at Pomona College and Claremont Graduate University from 1979 to 1994. Upon his retirement, Pomona College honored the professor emeritus with a retrospective. Born in Chicago, Mr. Benjamin relocated to California after serving in the US Navy during World War II. He took up art shortly before moving to Claremont in 1952, and rose to national fame as part of a groundbreaking 1959 exhibit at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), Four Abstract Classicists: Karl Benjamin, Lorser Feitelson, Frederick Hammersley and John McLaughlin. Works by Mr. Benjamin, who was awarded the National Endowment for the Arts Grant for Visual Arts in 1983 and 1989, rest in the public collections of an array of museums, including LACMA, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, the Oakland Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Seattle Art Museum and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. An apt description of Mr. Benjamins work is featured in a Thursday, July 26 article in the Los Angeles Times by Suzanne Muchnic. Working with a full palette and a vocabulary of stripes, squares, triangles, circles, rings and irregular shapes, he created tightly balanced compositions that seem to shimmer, vibrate or explode in space. His family remembers him as a warm and giving person as well as a brilliant artist. He had an amazing, full life creating beautiful things, and he taught many people how to love, said his daughter, Beth Marie Benjamin. A full account of Mr. Benjamins life will appear in an upcoming edition of the COURIER.

Annual passholders as well as those with a Claremont resident decal are not guaranteed a spot in either lot. Council will provide some free parking at the park noting that taxpayers money already goes toward the Wilderness Park. Measure S was passed by Claremont voters in 2007 to expand city protected open space, expand the Claremont Wilderness Park area, preserve the San Gabriel Valley Wildlife Corridor, and protect the area from development in perpetuity. With its approval, the Claremont City Council was given $12.5 million in bond, $9.5 million of which continues to be paid through city property taxes. The rest was paid by grants and contributions from the Claremont Colleges. Though recognizing possible roadblocks ahead with its new metered system, the council moves forward keeping in mind that minor adjustments might be needed along the way. We still dont know the impacts of this charge. Nobody may park there or everybody is going to be parking on the streets down the hill from there, Mayor Pro Temp Opanyi Nasiali said. Everything up there is going to be under review for a while.

Residents express concern at size and scope of development
The many shades of green...Sweden

by Jan Wheatcroft
t is June and I am traveling around Sweden, north of Stockholm surrounded by intense green. The fields are a middle green and stretch for miles on all sides. They are broken by slashes of a darker shade of green, dividing up the fields. Horses roam, some wearing winter jackets, some with small nursing foals, but always 2 or more to a field. It is against the law for a horse to be alone in a field.
My friend, Susanna, should know as we call her the horse police jokingly and she has been telling me this for years. Now I keep my eyes peeled for any evidence of a single horse but have seen nothing this year. Every so often there is a field of intense yellow and I long to take numerous photos. My friends live in a house out in the countryside near old iron forging villages originally settled by Walloons. Each village has a large estate home and then there are the workers cottages, all still lived in and mostly all painted yellow or mustard colored. In some of the out buildings, artists have set up studios to sell their work, exhibits are held and traditionalstyle meals are served. We visit a few during my stay. There are forests of dark green trees along the roads we travel and I stare, hoping to see an elk or a fox or at least a deer. I am rewarded as we travel to the airport as I am about to leave. There a frightened baby deer has come out of the forest and is running up and down trying to find its way back in. Sadly there is nothing we can do. Dotted amongst the green fields are the birch trees, their white trunks speckled with black blemishes with their fluttering leaves reaching up to the sky. We stop to photograph them in all their variations. I love to think of all the items that are made from their bark by the Sami people in the northern part of Sweden. Birchbark is very useful.
In the field across from our house, cows are grazing their feet deep in the green grass that so entices me with its rich color and shades. As if attached to a clock timer they will all turn around at the same time and amble off home, pulled by an invisible thread. Dandelions are all along the side of the road. These are not like the dandelions that we have at home, small weeds of yellow flowers, tough stems and white puffy hats, which my neighbor seems to love. No, these are giants, taller than my knees and stretching out to meet that green grass of the fields. The white puffy hats are bigger than my fists, and they have taken over patches of land and wave their leafy arms at the sun. A few of the yellow flowers remain and they seem to say summer is here in Sweden. One day we drive up north to the town of Gavle where a man named Joel Hillstrom was born. He was poor and, as a young man of 23, he came to America and became Joe Hill and spent the rest of his life fighting for worker's rights. I remember Pete Seeger singing the song, I Dreamed I Saw Joe Hill Last Night. I grew up on that song. In the museum, I sing along with a tape. Luckily we are the only ones there. Then we go to a small fishing village called Bonans and buy Bockling, a special smoked fish that Christer, Susannas partner, fixes 3 ways that night for dinner. We walk to the lighthouse at the edge of the water. Even here, the dandelions are huge along the side of the road, and the blue-green water offers a contrast to
the green of the trees and the fields surrounding us. Another day, Susanna and I take a bus and 2 trains and go into Stockholm for the day. Then we take a ferry out to an island to a museum, Liljevalchs, which has a special Hemslojd or handwork exhibit. In the first rooms there are 88 man-made trees and 2000 leaves which have been decorated by Swedish people from all over Sweden. Some are stitched, some crocheted, some knitted, others are collaged, some with wood or metal or paper. It is a fabulous way of showing the creativity of all peoples from children to adults. We wander and look around. The color green predominates. The other rooms highlight individual crafts of spinning including gorgeous wools, especially from Gotland where the sheep are very special. There is a lot of knitting shown, as well. There is a basketry room with woven rush baskets and straw work. Wood carving is highlighted in another room as is embroidery, fabric stitchery and clothing. Another room is covered in reindeer skins and items made from them and the reindeer bone. But the best room comes last. A huge room for young and old to try out every craft, to add on to projects being worked on, to spin some wool, make collages and hang them around, read the handwork magazines and to talk to the helpers who wear wonderfully colorful aprons. Children, young mothers and older women, all work together on projects. It is a glorious and stimulating atmosphere. I love coming to Sweden. I love seeing my friends and spending time with them in their country house in their intense green garden with fruit trees, roses and many flowers I dont even know. At night we play Yahtzee in a battle that has been going on for more than 3 years now. One game with a glass of wine each evening before a late night supper. Then a late-night walk in the gardenit isnt even dark yet. No flashlight needed. Mosquitos out in full force. And in the morning, the green will be there to greet me: intense, varied and rich.
I come from a broken home. A tree fell on it during the last storm.
The Lemon test
Dear Editor: Doug, Doug, Doug. Your incessant harangues on issues of the Bill of Rights no less than astound the intellect. Like Fox News, spin the truth enough and maybe like the pasta thrown against the wall something will stick. Its a form of false argument posed so many times by those of the Tea Party who, having no intellectual base on which to hang their argument, rely on the Evangelical Spin Argument. In regard to your less-than-brilliant endeavor at academic falsehoods regarding the Separation of Church and State and the Establishment Clause of the Bill of Rights, you wholeheartedly neglect to reference in specificity any Supreme

Court decision upholding public prayer at public-sponsored and supported events. In Lee v. Weisman (1992), the Supreme Court ruled unconstitutional the offering of prayers by religious officials before voluntarily-attended ceremonies such as graduation. Thus, the court established that the state could not conduct religious exercises at public occasions, even if attendance was not strictly compulsory. The Supreme Court more closely scrutinized government activity involving religious institutions. In Everson v. Board of Education (1947), Justice Hugo Black held, The establishment of religion clause of the First Amendment means at least this: Neither a state nor the federal government can set up a church. Neither can pass laws which aid one religion, aid all religions, or prefer one religion over another. Neither can force nor influence a person to go to or to remain away from church against his will or force him to profess a belief or disbelief in any religion. No person can be punished for entertaining or professing religious beliefs or disbeliefs, for church attendance or non-attendance. No tax in any amount, large or small, can be levied to support any religious activities or institutions, whatever they may be called, or whatever form they may adopt to teach or practice religion. Neither a state nor the federal government can, openly or secretly, participate in the affairs of any religious organizations or groups and vice versa. In the words of Jefferson, the clause against establishment of religion by law was intended to erect a wall of separation between church and state. In the Supreme Court case of Lemon v. Kurtzman (1971), the courts decision established the Lemon test, which details the requirements for legislation concerning religion. It consists of 3 prongs: 1. The governments action must have a secular legislative purpose; 2. The governments action must not have the primary effect of either advancing or inhibiting religion; 3. The governments action must not result in an excessive government entanglement with religion. In the case Lynch v. Donnelly (1984),
Justice Sandra Day OConnor in a concurring opinion established the Endorsement Test. The Endorsement Test asks whether the challenged law or government action has either the purpose or effect of endorsing religion or disapproving of religion in the eyes of the community members. As OConnor argued, Endorsement sends a message to non-adherents that they are outsiders, not full members of the political community, and an accompanying message to adherents that they are insiders, favored members of the political community. What is crucial is that the government practices not have the effect of communicating a message of government endorsement or disapproval of religion. Here are the facts. Your arguments, Mr. Lyons, are false and meant to mislead. A topic so overused by the ultraright wing to use the boogie man to scare the less well-informed. Doug, keep your theology out of my democracy.

Now & Then: Ice is twice as nice in the summer heat
laremont is known for its hot summer days and the afternoon of July 14, 1955 was no different.
For some local youngsters, however, the day was anything but commonplace. Good fortune struck when several chunks of ice fell off a Union Ice Co. truck, landing near the corner of First and College Streets in the Village. The Claremont kids obviously enjoyed the cool treata taste of winter in the summertimeand a COURIER photographer snapped a photo of the impromptu celebration. The Claremont plant of the Union Ice Company was established to pre-cool and ice the train cars that carried fruit to the east coast. The orphan ice may have been meant for home delivery, a practice that was fading by the mid-50s but still continued, or may have been intended a more industrial purpose. An ad for a Servel Gas Ice-Maker Refrigerator that ran 2 weeks later in the COURIER foretells the looming demise of home ice delivery. What household needed a truck to drop off ice when their own appliance made cubes aplenty? Although the Claremont location of the Union Ice Co. is no longer in business, there are still 2 thriving arms of the Union Ice Co. in southern California, one in Van Nuys and the other in Vernon. Along with providing ice for the food and trucking industries, the company also provides party pleasers like ice sculptures, non-seasonal snow and even entire
ice bars. Chilled vodka, anyone? For information on the business and the services the Union Ice Co. provides today, visit www.unionice.com or call the Union Ice Company at (888) 830- 8383.

From the COURIER archives This July 14, 1955 edition of the Claremont COURIER shows some local kids taking advantage of an ice delivery gone wrong. Several large chunks of ice fell of the back of a Union Ice Co. truck on First and College, much to the pleasure of local youngsters who had been braving the Claremont summer heat.
CUSD super vows to bring high expectations, staying power
im Elsasser, the new superintendent of the Claremont Unified School District, is dealing with a much smaller district than hes accustomed to.
In his previous post, he served as assistant superintendent of human resources for the Anaheim City School District, which encompasses 19,300 students in kindergarten through 6th grade alone. Claremont has roughly 6900 through the 12th grade. Despite the scaled-down nature of his new district, Mr. Elsassers aims for his stepped-up role are expansive. I want to make sure we offer our students a high level of education thats second to none, he said. I want to make sure we create an experience for our students that makes them lifelong learners. Mr. Elsasserwho earned his B.A. in music education and a masters in education from Azusa Pacific University, and his doctorate in educational leadership from USCis ready to learn, too. As a first time-superintendent, his contract with CUSD stipulates that he work with a professional development coach, whose services will be funded by the district. Mr. Elsasser has already reached out to a mentor, requesting the guidance of Dr. Rudy Castruita of the Rossier School of Education at USC. The contract with Dr. Castruita will be brought before the board at the August 9 meeting of the CUSD board of education. Mr. Elsasser, 44, also has quite a bit of his own experience to draw upon. Before joining ACSD in the 2008-2009 school year, he served as director of classified personnel and special projects with the Los Alamitos School District. He was also the principal of Oak Middle School in the same district. Prior to joining Los Alamitos, Mr. Elsasser was a teacher, assistant principal and principal in the Downey Unified School District. In the 3 weeks since he took office, he has been getting the lay of the land here in Claremont. Mr. Elsasser notes hes conducted one-on-one meetings with over 40 people, including principals, support staff, cabinet members, individuals in the community and members of the school board. Im learning the culture of the district as well as the community, he said. I want to learn about the partnerships we have. Ill be asking, What are our strengths? and What are our areas of growth? In recent years, the retention of superintendents has not been one of Claremonts strengths. The last superintendent, Terry Nichols, left for the Duarte School District after less than 2 years with CUSD. Gloria Johnston served as interim superintendent in the time between Mr. Nichols departure and the inking of
COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff Claremont Unified School Districts new superintendent Jim Elsasser takes over the top job following a tenuous period for the district that included the failure of Measure CL, the short tenure of former superintendent Terry Nichols and controversy over the handling of misconduct charges against former principal Frank DEmilio.
Mr. Elsassers contract. The previous CUSD superintendent, David Cash, currently superintendent at the Santa Barbara Unified School District, left after 3 years. His predecessor Sheralyn Smith, also resigned after 3 years. Given this rate of turnover, many Claremonters have a pressing question for Mr. Elsasser: How long will you stay? Mr. Elsasser hopes his answer will reassure the community. I feel fortunate to have been hired here in the district, and look forward to working here a number of years, he said. I have been impressed with the people Ive met in the organization and in the community. Ive learned in 3 weeks that this community values education. Proponents of art education will be happy to hear that Mr. Elsasserwhose first gig in education was as a middle school music teachervalues enrichment activities. He has been playing piano since he was 8, and is well versed in several brass instruments. I want to make sure our students are passionate about something in schoolmaybe its academics, maybe its art, maybe its athleticsso that when they graduate, theyre able to take that passion and contribute to a global society, he said. Mr. Elsasser comes to Claremont at a good time. At a time when many other districts are financially floundering, Claremont is solvent. Relations between the district and CUSD employees are also going smoothly. Union representatives for CUSD faculty, management
and classified employees recently signed new contracts after a negotiation process faculty union president Dave Chamberlains says was marked by efficiency and respectfulness. Things are going well on the home front as well. Mr. Elsasser derives support and enjoyment from his family, which includes his wife, Lori, a medical transcriptionist, and 3 children. Corey, 16, is the varsity quarterback at Canyon High School in Anaheim Hills; his daughter Brooke, 15, also attends Canyon; and his youngest child, Nicholas, is a 7th grader at El Rancho High School. The new CUSD superintendent says he and his wife have opted to remain in their Anaheim Hills home to keep the kids in their current district. At those ages, they are settled and entrenched in activities at their respective schools. Despite the fact that, at 6-foot-6, Mr. Elsasser is basketball-player tall, he emphasizes that hes a music guy rather than a sports guy. He can only marvel at his sons athletic skill. I dont know where he gets itmaybe his grandpa, he said. Want to see the new superintendent in action? The next meeting of the CUSD Board of Education will be held at 6:30 p.m., August 9 at the Richard S. Kirkendall Education Center.

CGUs masters of public health program receives accreditation

Claremont Graduate University (CGUs) School of Community and Global Health announced that its Masters of Public Health (MPH) program has received full accreditation from the Council on Education for Public Health. The council approved accreditation for 5 years, the longest allowable for a newly-accredited program. The Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) is an independent agency recognized by the US Department of Education to accredit schools of public health and public health programs. It has accredited about 85 master of public health programs in the United States, Canada, Lebanon and Grenada. CGU formed its School of Community and Global Health in the summer of 2008 to foster the study of 21st century health threats, such as accelerated shifts in global populations and spikes in preventable health-related problems. The MPH program, which enrolled its first students in the fall of 2009, focuses on the decreases in health and well-being that result from economic and social circumstance and lifestyle choices, including obesity, diabetes, and diseases related to tobacco, alcohol, and drug abuse, both locally and globally.

New restaurant plans, building designs for historic site approved by commissions
The owner of The Back Abbey and Union on Yale is planning on submitting construction plans for a new proposed restaurant at 211 W. First St., the little white house, formerly the Shrimps store. The new restaurant would offer a simple contemporary South American cuisine, which will feature a variety of tacos as well as tamales, soups, salads, and other dishes. On March 20, the Claremont Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit allowing the sale of beer and wine for on-site consumption and outdoor seating at the site. On July 25, the architectural commission approved the proposed design modifications related to the conversion of the existing site into a restaurant. Modifications to the historic site include converting the small existing historic structure into a kitchen and renovating and restoring the buildings exterior, which will include wood repairs, new paint colors (which will be more historically appropriate), and replacing the existing roof with new cedarwood shakes (fire retardant treated) to mimic what would have probably been on the original structure. A small accessory structure will be built at the rear of the site, which will be used as a bathroom and storage area. New landscaping and fencing will be installed for an outdoor patio seating area. Construction is anticipated to begin in the fall with the restaurant scheduled to open in early 2013.

Summer can be fine time to plant heat-loving plants

Theres no doubt about it: These are the dog days of summer. After a relatively cool Saturday, with a projected high of 88 degrees, temperatures are expected to climb to the low-90s locally beginning Monday. Earlier this month, Claremonters sweltered during a number of days that saw temperatures reaching 100 degrees or higher.
Whats an amateur gardening aficionado to do in this kind of heat wave? It might seem we should shy away from planting for a while, limiting our efforts to hydrating our thirsty preexisting foliage. But according to Vicky Perez, a nursery professional at Armstrong Garden Center in Claremont, there are plenty of warm-weather options for those hoping to sew a bit of beauty. She recommends starting with heat-loving summer annuals like yellow and orange marigolds and citrushued zinnias. Both of these thrive in full sun and add a crayon-bright touch of color to your garden. Ms. Perez notes these flowers have some staying power, and are likely to last through November. Vinca is another annual that does well in full sun, according to Ms. Perez. If you plant a vincaa variety marked by dark, glossy green foliage and white, pink, purple or red flowersnow, its likely to continue to bloom until December. There are also a variety of pretty perennials that are quite comfortable in this weather. These include a number of plants Armstrongs has dubbed California bloomers, such as hardy geraniums, whose blossoms can come in a multiplicity of hues. Other plants in this category include the African daisy, in which purple is a popular shade, and the lovely white Shasta daisy. Are you looking for a pretty hanging plant that will flower rather than wilt as temperatures continue to rise? Ms. Perez recommends a cascading plant with white or purple flowers called bacopa. These, and all of the plants mentioned are available at Armstrongs in Claremont.
Rows of color created by rhea salvia, vista red salvia and 2 types of marigolds are among the varieties to plant during the summer in Claremont.
Shade-preferring perennials that thrive when the mercury rises include a pretty, sweet-smelling creeper called glechoma. While the plant doesnt flower, Ms. Perez says the green leaves cascade prettily when displayed in window baskets or hanging pots. You might think that, when it comes to vegetables, youve missed the growing season. Not so, said Ms. Perez. You can still pick up zucchinis, cucumbers, peppers and tomatoes at Armstrongs or other garden cenHEAT-LOVINGPLANTS continues on the next page

ters and plant them. These favorites take 52 days to mature from planting to harvest. Since theyve already been started by the stores supplies, and since there are still many more hot days to come, you can expect to be harvesting your veggies by October. If youre fond of herbs, you can grow mint yearround. Ms. Perez recommends growing mint in containers because it is an aggressive plant that, if you let it, will take over your garden. Chewing mint leaves is a good breath-freshener, and can alleviate minor stomach ailments like indigestion. Fragrant lavender is another herb that can be planted this time of year. Dont over-water this drought-tolerant plant, though, the nursery professional advises, or it will contract a virus. Of course, all sorts of succulents still look great on the hottest of days. Dont water them in the middle of the day, though, Ms. Perez warns, or they will get spots. In a sustainability-minded town like Claremont, it would be remiss not to mention some of the California natives are appropriate to plant this time of year. Some have the added plus of attracting charming visitors. This includes yarrow, a favorite haunt of butterflies, and fuzzy kangaroo paw plants, which will draw hum-
mingbirds to your garden. If you love these tiny iridescent birdswhich can, surprisingly, reach speeds up to 34 mphyou can also plant other native and drought-tolerant offerings like salvia greggi and tubular-blossomed penstemons. You might think after working with plants all day, Ms. Perez would shy away from at-home gardening. Thats simply not the case. In the backyard at her Fontana home, she has a small, raised-bed garden featuring vivid gerbera daisies and marigolds flanked by date palms. In the porch near her front yard, she has planted shade-loving tropicals like variegated spider plants and flame-colored bromeliads. She also tends some favorite trees, including ponytail palms, and shrubs like gardenias. A bit of a romantic, Ms. Perez says she likes to tuck a fragrant gardenia in the band of her hat. Like many Californians, who enjoy conditions that are favorable to growing year round, she finds great satisfaction in tending her garden. I really enjoy when I can see the difference from when I first get the plant, she said. I see that they are growing beautifully and it means that Im doing good that I have a green thumb.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 714-573-1965 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site www.priorityposting.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 20110159900862. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site.

Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 573-1965 or visit this Internet Web site www.priorityposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 12-47412. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site.
