Desecration act
Dear Editor: It is appalling and even frightening to hear the news of a recent act of desecration against the building site of a mosque not far from Claremont near Ontario. The appalling side of the act was of two women seen throwing pigs feet into the driveways of the mosque site and the long-standing need for the congregation to hire security guards to help protect their property from such acts. The frightening side is how these acts easily escalate into more dangerous activities by area hate groups or deranged individuals with weapons. Every Muslim in our country is aware of the prejudice against them among too many Americans looking for someone to blame for whatever problems they feel. My husband and I have known the Al Nur congregation well as members of Interfaith Witnesses, a group pledged to stand in solidarity with religious groups under persecution. We have stood with them as they went through county commission meetings to get permission to build on their property; we have attended Iftar meals there as invited guests; we have been moved by their great friendliness and hospitality on each occasion. They knew there was prejudice against them and thanked us every way they could when we showed support for their building project. The main protection minority religious groups have against persecution is a public outcry against behavior harmful to these brothers and sisters practicing their constitutional rights. It is hateful, illegal and un-American.

Rise in Claremont eateries positive sign for local economy

hough known for its trees and PhDs, could Claremont be turning into the City of Eats? The recent addition of various cuisines to the citys restaurant repertoire may suggest that Claremont has a growing appeal for eateries, but also they indicate that perhaps the small-town economy is beginning to rebuild.

The weekends are reflective of whats going on. Its really crowded here, Claremonts Director of Community Development Brian Desatnik said in an interview earlier this year. Amid the reemerging hustle and bustle of business, unique local dining destinations have cropped up quickly over the past year. Union on Yale moved its international fare and bocce ball court next door to Bert & Rockys Cream Company, a taco stand is set for construction in one of the citys oldest buildings and Crepes De Paris will become one of the latest enterprises to fire up the stoves in Village West with a grand opening taking place sometime in the next couple weeks, according to owner Jenny Liu. From coffee shops to pizzerias, the Claremont Village alone has a selection of 44 places to chow down and drink up. The citys seeming overabundance of eateries is really not that unusual, according to Mr. Desatnik. Its all a part of the economic pickup and Claremont, like other metropolitan areas, is becoming a food-fueled gathering place. They feed off each other, Mr. Desatnik said. You become known for a good place to go for lunch and people are then able to see the other places available in town. You become a destination place. Take for example Eureka Burger, a cornerstone of the Packing House, says Mr. Desatnik. With its gourmet burgers and brews, Eureka Burger has been a non-stop buzzing food hub since it first opened its doors in 2010. Eureka Burger really brought a lot of people over to that area. Its busy all the time and because there is a lot of spillover, it helps other businesses in that area. New eateries crowding into areas that used to be primarily retail, like once was the case at the Packing House, do especially well, according to Mr. Desatnik. There is not as much foot traffic over there, so the eateries tend to do better than street retail, he noted. In addition, the crowds continue to be drawn to the citys well-established, unique food destinations like Some Crust and Pizza NSuch, bringing the foot traffic to shops along downtown streets. They provide Village business with a necessary anchor.

COURIER photo/Cameron Barr A coming soon sign is displayed outside of the new Crepes De Paris Tuesday afternoon at the Paking House in Claremont. The eatery is one of many new resturants popping up around the Claremont Village.

People are drawn to town because they want a particular cookie from Some Crust, or a bear claw, and while they are here they notice Espiaus next door and decide to grab some lunch or walk up to Union on Yale, said Scott Feemster, manager of the popular Claremont bakery. People crave choice, which helps enhance Claremont as a destination point.
A surge in similar businesses, in this case those that wine and dine, benefits the downtown business community as a whole, says Mr. Feemster, who quotes the old adage, A rising tide lifts all boats. Granted, there might be more competition, but in the long run it benefits everybody, Mr. Feemster said. For a long time, there were a bunch of little

shops that didnt necessarily draw a lot of foot traffic. Now we have a good balance. However, as food joints continue to flourish, some have concerns about the possible surplus. George Hernandez, local business owner and lifelong Claremont resident, worries that it takes away from the close-knit climate that is the Claremont Village. When I was young, it was a vibrant, small little community. Now its just spas and restaurants, he said in a recent interview. Though understanding that the city needs to generate tax dollars, he wonders how it might affect Claremonts character. He poses, What makes our community special? Unique, one-of-a-kind shops, food or otherwise, are part of what helps foster Claremonts sense of identity, according to Michelle Flint, who established ZPizza, a healthy pizza place in the Claremont Village 6 months ago. It was unique establishments like Dr. Grubbs and Loving Hut, with specialized menus, that drew her to Claremont. The [ZPizza] corporation was specifically looking for areas that catered to gluten-free, diet-conscious consumers and Claremont was highlighted as a good place for business, Ms. Flint said. We were looking for an area that would be supportive of cuisine like ours, and Claremont was it. Not all restaurants here have been able to weather changes in the economy, despite the local boom in food establishments. Even some of Claremonts long-running businesses have been affected. After more than 20 years feeding Village visitors, Harvard Square Cafe closed up shop last spring, as did beverage favorite WineStyles, and La Picoletta faces an ownership change, according to new signage affixed to the outside of the longtime Italian eatery. Escalating prices, along with other troubles, are what forced Harvard Squares general manager Cap Peck to seek new food ventures elsewhere. It became incredibly difficult to stay in business, Mr. Peck said in a previous interview, also admitting difficulty with the buildings owner. Businesses may come and go as challenges and risks of business will continue to crop up, local

restaurant owners note. But the diverse taste of Claremont consumers is part of the beauty of the town, and the wide variety of cuisine now available to them continues to fuel the downtown area, says John Solana, co-owner of The Back Abbey and Union on Yale and a third Village food venture in the works. Claremont residents are well-traveled and welleducated, and desire quality and sincerity in their choices, Mr. Solana acknowledged. Whether or not it is a sign of the tides of the local economy recovery, it is one of the reasons Claremont mainstays like Walters Restaurant continue to thrive, he suspects. People are sick of the Applebees and Chilis of the world. They are looking for places with character and heart, and Claremont has that.

All you can eat: CUSD Food Tasting Fair educates community about district meals

ystery meat. Ketchup counted as a vegetable. Foods that are processed, frozen and reconstituted until they are barely recognizable. When school lunches come to mind, the picture isnt usually pretty.
Meals served in the Claremont Unified School District have changed significantly since Rick Cota was hired as director of Nutrition Services in 2009. When he came on board, virtually 100 percent of school food was processed. Now, 80 percent of CUSD meals are made from scratch. His goal is to offer 100 percent homemade fare. As kids and their families catch onto the healthy and tasty trend, pupil participation is growing in spades. The year before Mr. Cota came to CUSD, 464,000 complete meals were served. By the end of his first year at CUSD, the number had risen by 18 percent to 549,000. Mr. Cota hopes that participationwhich rose last year to 600,000 meals will continue to grow. More kids eating at school means more state funding, which he can leverage into his commitment to making district meals as healthy as possible. Part of his passion stems from a sobering number. Some 32 percent of Claremont school children live below the poverty level. For some children, the breakfast and lunch they eat at school may constitute their only food for the day. (Any child who feels hungry, he noted, can stop by their school cafeteria at any time in the day and grab an apple or banana or other fresh fruit.) The challenge is to show parents and kids for whom the old Kitchen Nightmares image lingers how nutritious and delicious CUSD food is nowadays. A part of his marketing campaign, Mr. Cota has instituted an annual CUSD Food Tasting Fair, which gives those in the district the chance to sample and weigh in on the foods that will be served in local cafeterias in the coming year.
FOOD FAIR continues on the next page

Plan now to move kids from summer to school mode

heres something about summer that spells the opposite of a schedule.

The days are impossibly long, and filled with an ever-changing roster of events. Bedtime varies, with kids often staying up into the night watching TV or hanging with friends. All this serendipity will come to an end, though, when the bell rings for the first day of school. For Claremont students, thats Wednesday, August 29. After a leisurely summer, getting somewhere at 8 oclock, looking pulled together and feeling ready to do school work, can be a rude awakening. There are some smart things parents can do to ensure the transition is a bit smoother. The first and most important is to reestablish a routine, starting with the wake-up time. You can begin by setting the alarm for an hour earlier than youve been getting up. If you plan to

have a last summer outing, why not use it as a sort of drill? Are you heading for the mountains or the beach? Plan to be on the road at the same time your kids will have to leave for school. Other ways to strengthen the sense of routine include striving for a regular meal schedule, encouraging daily bathing and aiming for a consistent bedtime. If you have a child trading elementary school for intermediate school, or leaving junior high for high school, they may be experiencing extra startof-school jitters. Big changes are never easy, and you may not be able to ease all of their apprehension. You can, however, foster greater comfort by helping your child familiarize themselves with their new campus. Consider heading for the school and taking a walk around the premises. The point is to demystify the unknown. There is often a lot of excitement mixed in with start-of-school nervousness. You can encourage the good kind

of butterflies in the stomacheager anticipationby including your kids in back-to-school shopping. Kids love school supplies and the very act of picking out their notebooks, pens and lunchboxes can create a sense of ownership. Letting children pick out new school clothes can also make them more excited about getting up and ready. If you have a preteen or teen, youre probably already doing this because, as any kid will tell you, parents are notoriously clueless when it comes to fashion. There has been a lot of talk in recent years about summer learning loss. This is a state in which kids, their brains having lain fallow over the summer, forget information and generally become sluggish when it comes to comprehension and computation. An article on the South Riverside News Network, called First day jitters? Get kids up to speed, has some good suggestions for alleviating any knowledge-loss and generally sharpen-

ing your kids brains. Bring out flashcards, the author suggests, revisiting important skills and concepts. A trip to the library or bookstore can also re-ignite school-readiness. For older kids, reading the newspaper together and talking about current events can help wake up those neurons. You might also consider renting a thought-provoking documentary or movie, using it as a platform for discussion. How you work can be as important for achievement as what you know. School success is built on organization, something that, in this chaotic world, kids crave. Help create an oasis of order by setting aside an area where your child can do his or her schoolwork. Allocate a desk or a table in a quiet spot in your home, with school supplies at the ready. You might want to hang a bulletin board where you can pin things like assignment sheets, cafeteria menus and school calendars. ConSCHOOL MODE continues on page 9

Wilderness Park users will have 137 new choices for parking
Construction has begun at one of Claremonts most popular hiking destinations. Crews from Panorama Engineering, Inc. have set to work expanding the north parking lot of the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park to accommodate the parks growing popularity. Visitors will be restricted from using the parking lot at the north end of Mills Avenue over the duration of the project. Though it currently remains open, construction is scheduled to continue to October. Temporary closures of the Wilderness Park entrance will take place as needed, according to City Manager Tony Ramos. Notice of any closures will be posted at the park in advance. Though the north lot will be closed as construction continues over the next couple months, Wilderness Park users will still be able to park in the lot located at the northeast corner of Mills Avenue and Mt. Baldy Road. Plans to expand parking at the Wilderness Park and Thompson Creek trail have been in discussion for several years, with numerous studies conducted by city staff and commissioners. The expansion proposes to eliminate on-street parking in an attempt to appease complaints of noise and traffic congestion in the neighborhoods surrounding the park. The first phase will expand the parks existing north lot located at Mills Avenue, which currently holds 20 parking spaces. After the expansion, the lot will span 1.45 acres and have an additional 137 spaces. Once the project is complete, parking will be restricted on adjacent streets. We are not trying to create more parking than is already there, but remove the parking from the streets and put it into off-street lots, explained Brian Desatnik, director of community development. If you go up and count [the cars] at a busy time, you will see cars jerry-rigged into some of those lots. In addition, the spots available in the parking lots will be metered. The Claremont City Council has approved a fee of $3 for every 4 hours of parking or $100 for an annual pass. Limited free spots will be

The most recent fair, held Monday, August 8 at El Roble Intermediate School, drew 600 people, about a hundred more than attended last year. All participants had to bring was their appetite. Guests were given cardboard trays and encouraged to load them up with samples of a dozen CUSD entrees, with fresh produce from a salad bar of the sort that is now offered every day at every school site, and with food from 3 vendors whose wares make regular guest appearances at local schools. These included fresh tacos grilled by Mannys El Loco Mexican restaurant in West Covina, pizza with fresh-made dough from the local Round Table, and sandwiches from the Claremont Subway. It should also be noted that Mr. Cota has outsourced produce to nearby farmers to ensure freshness and strengthen the local economy. Representatives were present from groups with which Mr. Cota and the district have partnered to help educate students about nutrition and gardening and the connection between the 2. Spokespeople including those from Sustainable Claremont, Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, the San Antonio High School Food Justice Program and Cal Poly Pomonas Regenerative Studies and Nutrition programs attended the fair. Hot meals sampled included cafeteria standbys like macaroni and cheese and chicken enchiladas as well as a couple of items thatshould they meet community approvalwill be new this year. Among these was a mild chicken chili whose recipe, Mr. Cota shared, is derived from a dish a Claremont teacher used to serve at her bunco parties. Before leaving the event, participants were asked to fill out a form detailing what food they liked and what food they didnt like and share any suggestions. Talking to the kids and families who loaded up their trays in the busy cafeteria, where some staff had been outfitted in themed get-up like apple or grape costumes, there was plenty to like. Vista del Valley Elementary School principal Dave Stewart said that the abundance of healthy cafeteria choices, which includes innovations like Meatless Mondays and Fresh Fridays featuring made-fromscratch meals, is welcome. At his last district, he once ate in the cafeteria for a month and was chagrined to find that he gained nearly 15 pounds. Back to his trim self, he said he can eat at the Vista cafeteria without the fear of packing on processed food-related weight. His first grade year, 8-year-old Chris Cole used to bring food from home, but he started eating in the cafeteria last year. The result has been a pleasant surprise, he said, noting that his cafeteria favorites are pizza and cheese sticks as well as Brunch-for-Lunch days when breakfast foods like pancakes are on the menu. I like the food, the drinksI love everything here! Chris said. Andrew Hazelwood, 11, will be heading for El Roble this year after previously attending elementary school in Apple Valley. Asked whether he was apprehensive about matriculating to the junior high level, he said, School is school, but added that the food is better. Sarah Torribio

designated for Claremont residents in the Mills and Mt. Baldy Road lot with an identifying pass. The council approved the metered parking with the agreement that it would be reviewed again in one years time. The issue can be revisited sooner if staff deems it necessary. I think there is going to be a lot of fluctuation...and we need to have that flexibility of trying to manage what the right price will be, Councilmember Sam Pedroza said at the last city council meeting in July. The council will evaluate the response to the newly-constructed parking lot and make other parking changes, including the possibility of an expansion to the northeast lot, as deemed necessary. These are steps in the right direction to curb some of these issues, Mr. Pedroza said. I think we are going to create some other issues, but our job here is to address these issues as they come along.

Rhetoric makes for a hotter Claremont summer

by John Pixley

Hello! It was a church group.

I dont know why people were shocked shocked!about what happened when, in a new addition to the citys Fourth of July Celebration, the choir from the Pomona First Baptist Church presented a concert of patriotic music in front of the Claremont Depot at the beginning of July. Sure, God bless America, In God We Trust, even Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord and Glory, glory, hallelujah, His truth is marching on are familiar tropes in patriotic American song, but they do have a different, very distinct ring when put forth by a Christian body. This wasnt the Pomona College Choir singing a Bach mass. Or, perhaps in a better example for those with questions about Pomona Colleges Congregational beginnings, the choir with students from Scripps, Claremont McKenna, Harvey Mudd and Pitzer College singing O, Magnum Mysterium. What was the city thinking? was the immediate question, including from members of the citys Human Relations Commission, regarding what some saw as evangelism at a city-sponsored event. Or even in a public space. This was all the more poignant after the city ended up backing out of a celebration featuring a Catholic mass in El Barrio Park not long before. But perhaps the question should be What were people thinking? What was anyone thinking? This is what Ive been asking, with people firing off letters, printed in these pages, ricocheting off each other in a steady stream since the patriotic concert. These letters havent been about how good or bad the singing was, and they have definitely made summer even hotter and steamier around here.

observer
Some letters have said that Christians should be allowed to express their faith in public, with a few at least implying that they have a duty to spread their faith. Some letters have said that religion has no place in the public square, citing the First Amendment and saying that it makes people of other faiths or no religious belief feel left out or estranged. At least one letter included the opinion that its unfair that its okay for Occupy Claremont to have a presence in front of city hall, at least for a while, even as a Christian doing so wouldnt be tolerated. One letter was from representatives of the ACLU threatening legal action unless the city draws up rules, or clarifies the rules it does have, regarding church/state issues. Like I said, Claremont has been heating up in the last month or so, whether or not the mercury has been rising. Im wondering if the real question isnt what was anyone thinking but, rather, was anyone thinking? Or, maybe, thinking too much. It could be argued that Occupy Claremont is based on religious values, even Christian valuespeace, justice and all thatbut, as far as I know, its not a religious group. It is certainly not a church choir singing in front of city hall. But what about Claremonts Fourth of July parade? Do we really think about what goes on in it? For many years, there has been a large contingent

or 2, at least, from fundamentalist Christian churches, with Christo-centric songs blaring forth. I am not here to advocate them being banned from the parade, like those who sue to have God removed from the Pledge of Allegiance, but what about the Jewish people, the Muslims, the Buddhists who are there to cheer on the parade too? How do they feel when these contingents pass by? What about Sikhs, a group victimized in a recent terrorist act? Likewise, the large contingent in recent years featuring people of different faiths championing samesex marriage (which I have been involved in) has, for sure, elicited some frowns and thumbs-down. Again, this is a case in which some feel obliged or called to express their beliefs, especially when they see them challenged or see those with differing beliefs as lost. And, no doubt, there are those who would rather see a contingent of soldiers or veterans waving the red, white and blue than a group of peace marchers carrying signs. Over the years, such issues have inspired a letter or 2 regarding the parade. But then the topic quickly dropped, with no ongoing conversation. But can we have a real conversation, a constructive, productive dialogue, about expressing religious beliefs in public spaces, at public events? Perhaps what we should really ask is if we want to think about this, and if we can talk about it without getting hot under the collar. And I dont know if suggesting that someone who doesnt like whats going on go elsewhere, no matter how negative and harsh the expressed opinions are, is what I mean by constructive and productive.

Its the Master calling. He wants us to round up some smart, savvy young folk to come to his office. Hes having some digital problems they can figure out.

Claremont Council committed to water rate fight

by Larry Schroeder, mayor, city of Claremont

or years, residents and businesses of Claremont have been demanding fairness in regards to their water rates. While most would agree the cost of water has and will continue to increase, all would agree that water rates need to be fair and transparent. But that is not the current situation in Claremont.

VIEWPOINT
other cities that are also subject to Golden State Waters ratepayer abuse. Experience tells us that increases are rarely, if ever, denied out-right by the PUC. That being said, we have and will continue to fight against the unjustifiable rate increases by Golden State Water. Claremont residents deserve nothing less. As part of the rate-making process, Claremont was involved in proceedings that included the Division of Ratepayer Advocates (DRA). Claremont continually scrutinized the facts of the application and filed its opposition. Following this step in the process, the DRA announced that Golden State Water was not entitled to the increase they were seeking. Golden State Water then quickly changed their facts and agreed to a lesser rate increase, therefore immediately calling into question the companys ability to be truthful from the beginning. A proposed settlement agreement was announced by the DRA calling for a 15.1 percent increase in 2013, 2 percent in 2014, followed by a 1.8 percent increase in 2015. Even though the DRA has made Golden State Water admit that its application for a 24.54 percent increase was baseless, Claremont will continue to oppose the 15.1 percent increase being sought by Golden State Water. Just this past week, Golden State Water provided the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin with blatantly false information. Or, in other words.they lied. They cannot be trusted. Our experience, which repeats it-

Our city receives water service from a publiclytraded company, Golden State Water Company. It is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under its parent company, American States Water Company (AWR). Last week, AWR reported to Wall Street a $15.1 million quarterly profit, and they want more. But who are they profiting from? The answer is very simple...the ratepayers of Claremont. The rates inflicted by Golden State Water in Claremont are neither controlled nor approved by the city, and therein lies the problem. Golden State Water receives its rate approvals from the State of California through the Public Utilities Commission (PUC). Recently, Golden State Water filed an application with the PUC for a 24.54 percent rate increase in 2013. Included in their application are additional increases of 2.35 percent in 2014, and 2.94 percent in 2015. Like clockwork, every 3 years Golden State Water executives submit an application to raise rates. The city of Claremont has long opposed Golden State Waters never-ending applications for water rate increases. While their latest application is in the midst of review, Claremont has been working with

self every 3 years, indicates they will say or do just about anything to get more money from our residents. In addition to a baseless claim for a 24.54 percent increase, they have continued their pattern of lies and deception by telling the Daily Bulletin on August 1 that Claremont didnt participate in some of the meetings. However, in its joint motion to settle, Golden State writes that representatives of the ..city of Claremont met in person and by teleconference As is the case with many legal negotiations, interested parties are required to enter into confidentiality agreements. Such is the case with the current phase of the rate proceedings regarding Golden State Water. While the city of Claremont takes seriously its obligation to adhere to all confidentiality agreements, we can adamantly state that Claremont participated fully in the process, as proven by Golden State Water in its own motion. This latest attempt by Golden State Water is nothing more than a smokescreen as the company hopes to confuse the public and convince the PUC to grant them a meritless and unjustified rate increase. Take a look at Golden State Waters history. Just last year, the PUC fined Golden State Water $1 million and required the company to refund another $9.5 million to ratepayers. So whats next for ratepayers in Claremont? Golden State Water is not to be trusted. That is why the Claremont City Council is committed to continuing its aggressive participation at every step in the rate protest process. We cannot and will not allow Golden State Water to profit from its lies.

Beatrice Faust
Beatrice Bea Faust, a longtime Claremont resident, died on August 6, 2012, surrounded by her children and family. She was 86. Ms. Faust was born on Oct. 10, 1925 in Scranton, Pennsylvania to William and Eleanor Leaver. Her father, who was originally from England, worked in the local wool mills and, in addition, helped his wife run an antique shop. The family, which was quite musical, also hosted a weekly radio show where Ms. Faust sang tunes composed by her brothers, who were also fine singers. When Ms. Faust was 12, her mother died, leaving behind 4 children. As the only girl, she took on many of the household duties, such as cooking and mending, while her father worked, . While working at the Newtown Bee newspaper in Newtown, Connecticut, she met her future husband, Zaner Faust, who was then editor of the paper. They married in 1948 and 2 of their 4 children, Jami Faust Flynn and Jeff Faust, were born there prior to the family moving to Claremont in 1958 when Mr. Faust accepted a job offer at Harvey Mudd College. Her other 2 daughters, Brooke Faust and Casey Faust Groetzinger, were born in Claremont. All 4 of her children attended local elementary schools and graduated from Claremont High School. Ms. Faust was a consummate homemaker, sewing clothes for her daughters, taking a strong interest in her childrens

OBITUARIES
Ive got my white tennies on. I could catch you! While Ms. Fausts 2 younger daughters attended Oakmont Elementary School, she began volunteering there. She eventually was offered a position as school librarian, which she held until her retirement in the year 2000. Back in the day when teachers and staff were allowed to hug students, Thats all they got, Ms. Fausts daughter, Brooke, said of her mothers embracing ways. Serving the Oakmont children for nearly 30 years was one of the highlights of her life, according to her son Jeff. All those kids meant the world to her, he recalled. She would walk around Claremont and her kids, as she called them, would be in their 40s and still remember Mrs. Faust the librarian. Her children and their school friends, her kids at Oakmont, and later her grandchildren: Ms. Faust had a knack for connecting with children and teens. Young people really gravitated to her, Jeff said. As befitting a librarian, Ms. Faust gravitated toward the written word. Even when her eyesight began to fail, she remained a voracious reader, grabbing a magnifying glass she wore around her neck so she could pore through a magazine article or book. In her later years, one of Ms. Fausts favorite activities was sitting on the porch in her daughter Caseys whimsical backyard, reading while her granddaughters listened to music. A lifelong lover of classical music, Ms. Faust came to enjoy some of her grandchildrens favorite tunes, including songs by Adele and Johnny Cash. Ms. Faust died at the Claremont home of her eldest daughter and her husband, Jami and Kelly Flynn, where she resided for the last months of her life. Her family will always treasure the time she was able to spend with her grandchildren and various family members in her final days and during her 12-year retirement, noted her daughter Brooke. She was very dear, very sweet, she said. Ms. Faust was predeceased by her husband in 1980. She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Jami and Kelly Flynn of Claremont; by her son and daughter-in-law, Jeff Faust and Jan Ryan of Claremont; by her daughter, Brooke Faust of Upland; by her daughter and son-in-law, Casey and Rod Groetzinger of Upland; by 7 grandchildren, Tom Ryan, Kari Ryan, Richard Flynn, Katie Flynn, Nicolas Prado, Rachael Groetzinger and Emily Groetzinger; and by 2 great-grandchildren, Michelle Ryan and Lillian Joiner. A celebration of Ms. Fausts life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial donations be made to the local VNA and Hospice of Southern California, located at 150 W. First Street, Claremont, CA 91711

Loving mother, grandmother, librarian

activities and maintaining a welcoming home where the neighborhood kids enjoyed hanging out after school and on weekends. Her cooking skills were a particular source of delight. She was a champion cook, with a real instinctual knack. It was all based on the fact that she was sort of forced into that motherly role at an early age, her son Jeff said. Her salads were phenomenal, her tacos were renowned, her macaroni salad was unbelievable, her beef stroganoff was like nothing Ive had sinceshe could do anything. Though Ms. Faust was a gentle mother, she had a sense of humor, and was known to admonish her children with a particularly English threat, If you dont listen, Ill give you a thick ear, and later warn her grandchildren,

Wolfpacket students, staff to host journalism workshop

The students and advisor of Claremont High Schools Wolfpacket newspaper are hosting a journalism workshop, set for this Friday, August 17 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Held at Claremont High School (1601 N. Indian Hill Blvd.), the event is open to all CUSD students entering grades 7 through 12 who are interested in journalism, and is aimed at giving youths a chance to learn about the makings of a newspaper. Attendees will have the opportunity to visit a variety of stations, each led by an editor and a reporter ready to highlight a different skill: interviewing, writing articles, taking photographs, writing a lead for a story, writing an opinions piece, etc. Hands-on activities like writing, shooting photos, conducting interviews or drawing comics will lend a hands-on quality to the event. A free lunch will be provided for all. At the end of the workshop, all attendees will have interviewed students/adults, taken photographs and written a short article or 2. The Wolfpacket staff will organize the student-produced articles and photographs to create a mini-newspaper, which will be sent to the home address of each of the attendees as a funsouvenir of their experience. We hope the workshop will inspire budding journalists to pursue their passion for writing and reporting, and encourage them to get involved with the newspaper at CHS and in their careers, according to CHS senior and assistant Wolfpacket editor-in-chief Eva Landsberg. We also believe the workshop will be extremely useful for anyone wishing to take a free, short class in writing or photography. The event, which is free to attend, is funded by a grant from the Claremont Teen Committee. To attend, RSVP by email to thewolfpacket@gmail.com.

sider setting up a whiteboard or chalkboard where your kid can write important notes down. Are you a DIY-type of person? Chalkboard paint is inexpensive, and can transform any wall or surface into a writing area. An outstanding school year is about fulfilling and, ideally, exceeding expectations. Consider calling a meeting in which you and your children discuss what you hope to get out of the school year. Your teen may hope to master a foreign language, make more friends or make it onto the drill team. You may hope he or she will get all As and Bs, and reach out for help if they begin struggling with a subject. This kind of talk can help make sure everyones on the same page, and the same team, as the year begins.

Luckily for Ms. Selznick, the Olympics are over. She admits to being a bit short on sleep considering her girls tend to wake up early even after a late night. And with the Olympics, so too, the summer holiday closes. Almost. Its been a fun summer, Ms. Selznick said, noting that her girls have been busy with activities like tennis, guitar and soccer, and have also enjoyed hanging out with friends and lounging by the pool. The family has also made a number of weekend trips, including jaunts to Big Bear, the beach and even to northern California. They prize such memory-making experiences, and will likely continue to hit the road right up to the last minute, staving off the inevitable. Summer comes and goes pretty quickly, Ms. Selznick said.
