CAPPPR defends residents
Dear Editor: In 2007, the city of Baldwin Park sought to forcibly seize over 500 homes and small businesses by eminent domain in order to benefit a politically connected developer. When my city council endorsed a scheme that would leave my family homeless, I could not even turn to my police department for protection. The only organization that stepped forward to help my community was the California Alliance to Protect Private Property Rights. This is why I take exception to your article suggesting that the organization's motives are unclear. After successfully defending my community, I joined the Alliances board of directors, and during this time the Alliance has grown to become the states leading private property rights organization. The Alliances defense of private property is consistent and very transparent. I understand that politicians do not like to have their authority or motives questioned by the general public, especially when it involves taking someones property. However, I am at a loss trying to explain their efforts to attack our organization. Do they not like the message we are entering into the public realm? If the city has to disclose how much it is going to pay for public safety, parks, roads and other public services, does anyone else find it curious they wont disclose how much it will cost the city to forcibly seize a water company worth millions? Like in other communities, will funding this debt lead to higher water bills and property taxes? The citys lack of transparency is reason enough to oppose their water grab.

Fox on Newtown
Dear Editor: As the news broke of the Newtown, Connecticut shootings, I tuned into The OReilly Factor on Fox News. This is what I learned: Everyone has to manage his/her own mental health, and, as the shooter had failed to do this, the shooter was highly remiss and worthy of remonstrance; we must accept and understand that evil exists in the world, and there is nothing we can do to change that existential fact; and the parents of murdered children exhibit strength when they pas-

City, schools respond to Newtown shooting with concern
n the wake of Fridays mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, people across the country are struggling to make sense of a massacre that was senseless.
The gunman, a troubled 20-year-old named Adam Lanza, didnt just kill 26 people, 20 of them children. He also extinguished the sense of security that kids and their parents associate with school. Kids living in Claremont and attending schools here may, like those in every community, be experiencing sadness and fear, as well as some pressing questions: Why did the Sandy Hook tragedy occur? And could something like this happen in Claremont? Parents and staff at local schools may also be shaken. With this in mind, the Claremont Unified School District is being proactive when it comes to communicating with the community about the shooting and the schools policies with regards to potential on-campus violence. Early Friday afternoon, Associate Pastor Eileen Gebbie from the Claremont United Church of Christ organized a candlelight vigil at the churchs Kingman Chapel. About 60 residents attended to pray, reflect and share concerns as Ms. Gebbie offered the microphone to anyone who wanted to vent. On Sunday, December 16, Superintendent Jim Elsasser drafted a letter, which he emailed to all CUSD families and posted on the districts website: It has been difficult watching the news, and our hearts go out to the members of[the Sandy Hook Elementary School] community and all who devote their lives to loving and raising children, he said. Student safety is a high priority at Claremont schools, according to Mr. Elsasser, a commitment that has been further reinforced by the recent shooting. We will continually work to maximize student and employee safety in our schools, he emphasized. Preventative measures the district is undertaking, Mr. Elsasser said, include maintaining excellent relationships with the police department and city officials, regularly practicing school-wide drills, including
lockdown drills, to prepare for worst-case scenarios and maintaining an emergency communication system that we use to connect quickly with our parents by phone and/or email. His letter comes not only from a school official but also from a father, Mr. Elsasser noted. As a parent of 3 children, I, like you, have addressed this issue with my family. A website that was of particular help to me was www.nasponline.org, the superintendent said, referring to the website of the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP). Some CUSD students may not be deeply affected by the Sandy Hook shooting because it didnt occur in their community. For those who are distressed, or for families who feel it is important to use this tragedy to communicate about potential school violence, the NASP site recommends specific talking points that can be used and modified in a way that is age-appropriate for children. In times like these, we are reminded that every single adult in our school community contributes to students safety and wellbeing, Mr. Elsasser concluded. Thank you for caring, loving and doing all you do for the children in CUSD. NASP has also created a fact sheetTips for Teachers and Parents Following Community Violencethat district administrators have uploaded onto the CUSD website (www.cusd.claremont.edu). In the wake of violent events like the Sandy Hook shooting, all adults are advised to model calm and controlled behaviors and reassure children that they are safe. Children should also be told that it is okay to feel upset and encouraged to verbalize their thoughts and feelings, the tip sheet stresses, adding that adults should observe childrens emotional state and tell children the truth and answer the questions they may have honestly. When discussing events like the tragedy at Sandy Hook, adults are urged to stick to the facts and explain things in a way that is appropriate for childrens maturity level. NASP is additionally advising parents to limit or stop watching TV news or listening to radio coverage of this or any other occurrence of community violence while children are around. The organi-
zation also reminds adults that they should also be aware of the effects of ongoing media coverage of violent events on their own wellbeing. The news blackout is especially important for preschool children, according to The Preschool at Claremont United Methodist director Jeri Bollman. In fact, unless a very young child directly expresses concern about the Sandy Hook shooting or a similarly violent event that occurred in another community, adults shouldnt go out of their way to discuss it, she said. Im hoping that all of my parents are keeping the news to themselves, she said. Preschoolers shouldnt be exposed to thatthey cant understand it. Theyre just way too little. Ms. Bollman has shared something via email with the families of the preschool, a warm and reassuring quote by the late and beloved childrens television personality Fred Rogers, which has gone viral on social media outlets like Facebook in the wake of the Sandy Hook incident. When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping, Mr. Rogers said. To this day, especially in times of disaster, I remember my mothers words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpersso many caring people in this world. Any student who is experiencing anxiety with regards to the Sandy Hook shooting, or any kind of mental distress, is encouraged to reach out to a caring adult, said Assistant Superintendent of Student Services Mike Bateman. Teachers and parents who are concerned about any CUSD students state of mind can likewise seek guidance at their respective school sites. Each Claremont school has a psychologist prepared to meet with students, Mr. Bateman said, and there are also a number of mental health interns from the University of La Verne on hand to help provide counseling. Along with helping the CUSD community come to grips with the emotional effects of the Newtown

CITY NEWS
City considers moving finances away from big banks
n the year following encampment on the steps of Claremont City Hall, the citys Occupiers have shifted focus from protest to action.
While the tents and demonstrations remain only a memory, members of Claremonts Occupy group continue to improve upon its mission of fair economic structure. With a renewed focus on taking down the nations big banks, at least locally, their work is proving fruitful. After months of prodding, the city made its search for a new bank official Monday, sending out a newly approved Request for Proposal (RFP) for banking services. Banks within a 25-mile radius of Claremont will be eligible, according to Finance Director Adam Pirrie. This move was spurred by requests from Occupy Claremont members, who say they are pleased with the councils unanimous support of moving toward partnership with a socially responsible banking institution. Our hope is that this will move [the city] from the big banks like Bank of America, which is your current provider, to a community or regional bank, said Terry Donnelly.We remain very positive about this and hope this [process] will end in a bank that
will not only provide you high-quality services but that I think will better represent the values of the citizens here in Claremont. In April, the Claremont City Council directed staff to evaluate the possibility of transferring city funds to a local credit union with unanimous support from council members. I am very open to giving a smaller vendor an opportunity if that vendor can meet our needs and request for proposal. Im certainly not a fan of some of the bigger banks, said Councilmember Corey Calaycay at that meeting. It sends a good message to the community that we do our best...to try and address policies around our citizens concerns, he continued. Heeding the councils request, the citys financial department work plan for 2012-2013 included the issuance of an RFP for general banking services, according to Mr. Pirrie. The work plan was set in place to evaluate the citys current range of banking services and identify the bank best suited to meet the citys current banking needs. While a list of minimum requirements include being a full-service bank in good standing and a member of the Federal Reserve System and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation among others, further criteria include strength and stability, reasonable costs and a
history of socially responsible banking. Pricing, while important, will not be the primary factor in identifying the successful bidder, Mr. Pirrie said. Responses to questions on service enhancements, community reinvestment and other factors will form the basis for comparisons between banks that may be equal in terms of the primary factors on which proposals are evaluated. While Mr. Pirrie ensures that candidates meet the citys basic banking needs, the city will also take the opportunity to explore new services. Such items include opportunities for online information reporting and transactions, bill concentration and account reconcilement. In the wake of the citys interest in preparing emergency operations, such as the purchase of an Emergency Operations Command Center, city officials are also interested in a bank that can provide the city with an emergency line of credit. In the event that the citys financial systems were to be compromised by a natural disaster, the city would have an alternate option for continuing operations or responding to that emergency, Mr. Pirrie explained. With urging from Occupiers, the chosen bank will have at least a satisfactory ranking as determined by the California Reinvestment Act,
which encourages banks to help meet the needs of low-income borrowers and to reduce discriminatory lending practices. The bank with the highest overall rating will be recommended to the council for approval of contract, Mr. Pirrie said. With unanimous support of the city as it moves forward, councilmembers across the board added words of encouragement, not only regarding the citys move toward responsible banking, but for the continued efforts of its actively engaged residents. What we ended up having here is, in fact, a document that does reflect the character and ethical basis upon which many Claremonters do their daily business and expect the city to do likewise, Councilmember Joe Lyons said. I am hopeful that when all is said and done, we will have a respectable bank representing our city, Mr. Calaycay added. The names of interested banks will be made available to the public as they come forward, according to Mr. Pirrie. The deadline for interested banks is January 28. The city anticipates returning to council with a bid on March 12.

shooting, the district is putting a renewed focus on safety, Mr. Bateman noted. Were making sure that were still following everything weve put in place since Columbineall of the safety measures, Mr. Bateman said. We want to make sure everyone is aware of them so that if something happens, everyone knows what to do. Emergency preparedness measures the district has undertaken in recent years include multiple lockdown practices each year, cameras at the high school and the yearly updating of emergency plans. The district works especially closely with the Claremont Police Department, according to Mr. Bateman. Local police have had trainings at the high school in which they act out a response to a mock shooting. They have also benefited greatly from a web-based program called Rapid Responder. If there is ever an incident of violence on a Claremont campus, the Claremont Police Department can use the program for instant access to the school plans, complete with pictures and a diagram of all the doors and classrooms on campus. Our schools are very safe, but things can happen, Mr. Bateman said. Were making sure we fine-tune things.

Mt. San Antonio Gardens unveils Green Houses
alifornia is revolutionizing skilled nursing, and Claremonts Mt. San Antonio Gardens (MSAG) is leading the movement.
Over the weekend, the local retirement community unveiled construction on the states first pair of Green House retirement facilities, communitystyle homes for those in need of specialized nursing care. The 2 new houses, now halfway finished, are expected to open this April. The multi-million dollar projectdubbed the Evergreen Villas because of the trees that grow on the propertybegan in March, replacing 4 singlefamily homes on land adjacent to the Gardens on Harrison Avenue and Taylor Drive. However, while the demolition and construction itself kicked off early this year, MSAG administration, board and residents have been hard at work for nearly 5 years working to provide residential housing for seniors in need without the sterile, hospital setting. This sweeping 14,000-square-foot project brings that vision to life. We are trying to humanize end-of-life care, said Randy Stoll, MSAGs president and chief executive officer. Its the way you would care for your parents in your own home if you had the ability and the skill. The name Green House, though somewhat misleading, represents the growth residents experience because of the independent nature of their living environment. Though caretakers are available for the ill, and an on-call nurse is also provided, residents are able to live in a less structured environment. The Evergreen Villas include private rooms, each equipped with a private bathroom, a family-style kitchen and the ability for residents to choose their meal times instead of being forced into a regimen. Socializing is encouraged and the typical hospital normsnurses stations, trayed, cafeteria-style dinners and confined spaceare thrown out the window. This is a revolutionary idea for the care of the chronically ill, said Dr. Robert Tranquada, former MSAG board member and garden resident. It moves the experience from one of being in an institution to being a part of a family. Residents will be dressed in street clothes and allowed to decorate their living quarters with their own furniture, an aspect traditionally not allowed in hospitals. While nurses will be available around the clock, the villas will not be cluttered with nurse stations. Instead, each 7,000-square-foot villa will house a large community gathering space, a den, laundry facility, patio area and spa, complete with a relaxing, jet-laden Jacuzzi.
Vice President for Marketing and Community Relations Tracey Stoll (no relation to MSAG president Randy Stoll) references the second Green House while giving a tour of the new homes on Sunday at Mt. San Antonio Gardens. The Green Houses will be the first built in the state of California.
COURIER photos/Steven Felschundneff Randy Stoll, president of Mt. San Antonio Gardens, shows off one of the private rooms during a tour of the Green Houses on Sunday at MSAG. The new assisted living homes will have private rooms and baths with a mechanical lift, giving each resident a high level of autonomy.
Its proven to be calming to those with dementia, Mr. Stoll explained. Though a relatively new concept, Green House projects are gaining speed throughout the nation. More than 30 Green House facilities are currently operating across the country, with nearly 20 more in some stage of development or construction. Struck by how Green House could provide a better tool to deliver the quality MSAG aspires to deliver, Mr. Stoll and others at MSAG took a trip to a Green House facility in Nebraska to check out the concept firsthand. I was just deeply impressed with the profound difference in the spirit of the institution, Dr. Tranquada said. It was as if we were visiting a family home instead of a care facility. While Mr. Stoll is thrilled to be leading Californias Green House movement, the newness of the Green House concept has posed a significant challenge. The [Green House] model is alien to the state, Mr. Stoll explained. Regulations for nursing
homes are very specific and have been that way for years. While the process of changing California nursing care has been long and laborious, those associated with MSAGs efforts are pleased to report that financing the project has not been a source of trouble. Within 3 months time, Green House committee members had raised the necessary funds to see the process through to completion, according to Georgia McManigal. We are professional fundraisers, she joked. Ms. McManigal, who toured the construction site for the first time over the weekend with others who have contributed to the project, knows her time and money are well-invested in a project like the Evergreen Villas, where she hopes to reside one day. The active lifestyle the Evergreen Villas will provide meshes perfectly with MSAGs involved residents, she says. Each villa will include space for 10 residents, who will be chosen based on seniority at the Gardens current skilled nursing facility. As demand grows, MSAG may expand to include more Green House facilities like the Evergreen Villas. For now, MSAG administrators are simply happy to see current plans finally underway. For those who work in this industry, it truly becomes a passion. Seeing [the Green House concept], it just became clear that it was the right thing to do, Mr. Stoll said. It is a way for us to provide our residents with the dignity they deserve. For more on the Green House Project, visit www.greenhouseproject.org. More information on MSAGs Evergreen Villas can be found on the retirement communitys website, www.msgardens.org.

All it needs is a bright red bow

by John Pixley
ake a left at the light up here and well go to Pomona.
We were out running a few errands. We were heading north toward Foothill Boulevard when my friend, who was out from LA, mentioned that he wanted to pick up some fast food. I had to explain to my friend that there are no drive-through fast food restaurants in Claremont. I had to tell him that we had to go to Pomona if he wanted to grab a burger or get a burrito from Hell Taco, as I call it. Im always having to explain to him that this is Claremont and that things are not quite the same as they are in Los Angeles and West Hollywood where he works. I have to explain that things are a bit different here in Claremont. Like how he might get a ticket if he parks on the street overnight, or like how there are hardly any tall signs. It is also like how, as I wrote about some time ago, he noticed that the red lights seem to take a little longer out here. I like having to explain to my friend that Claremont is a bit different. I think he likes it too. My friend ended up stopping at Sprouts Market, at the light on Foothill, and getting a Salisbury steak dinner in the deli department. I dont know if it was the best, healthiest thing, but it was definitely better than a Whopper and a large order of fries. My friend would agree that he eats better out here in Claremont. *** Its a good thing, though, that Pomona isnt far, that its easy to get to Pomona. Not so that we can get fast food, but so that we can see Raul Pizarros paintings. Rauls paintings shine. Literally. They glow. I dont know how he does it (no, he doesnt use neon paint) but his works appear to have an inner light. The colorsespecially the blues and whiteare so rich and deep, they are iridescent. Magic. This is what got me when I first saw the paintings when I first went to see Raul at his home in Pomona. Never mind that he has Muscular Dystrophy and uses a wheelchair. I dont know which I like better: the large paintings that are like classic Disney films (Im
observer
talking Fantasia, Pinochio, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs) on the big screen or his small pieces, many featuring bear-like creatures and stars, that are like jewel boxes. Like I said, Rauls paintings are magical. Which makes this exhibit nearby in Pomona a special treat for the holidays. The exhibit, entitled Theatro Del Mundo, is up right through the holidays, until January 8, at the Bunny Gunner Gallery, 266 W. Second St., in the Pomona Arts Colony. I find many of the places there have weird hours or arent open when they say they are, so it may be a good idea to call before going. The number is 858-2808. *** Meanwhile, at Pomona College back here in Claremont, it looks like, as always, the kids are alright. More than alright, actually. I went by Lyman Hall 2 weeks ago to hear the Pomona College Jazz Ensemble in an end-of-semester performance, and I was, as they say, blown away by the students, including a vocalist, Anna Miller, who sounded like a much older, seasoned pro. Not only did the kids sound great cool and hot and swingingbut many of the pieces they played were pieces they had brought into practice sessions and tweaked themselves. This was explained by Barb Catlin, who was directing the ensemble for the first time. She was clearly quite pleased and impressed and chatted up the audience between numbers with tid-bits about the LA jazz scene and how this ensemble fits right in. She made the classroom-like hall feel like her living room. All the more so when it turned out that the guest trumpet player, Wayne Bergeron, who has played in a bunch of places with a bunch of people and is big in LA and Hollywood, is her fianc. ***
Sometimes, I wonder if these kids are completely sane. Another friend and I were laughing about these guys at the colleges who walk around on these cold, damp nights barefoot in sandals. And when I say sandals, I mean flip-flops. They might be bundled up in sweat shirts and wool capsexcept for the completely insane ones in shorts and teesbut they always have flip-flops. No doubt, to a kid from Pennsylvania or New Hampshire, flip-flops are obligatory in southern California and make perfect sensejust grab and goan long as its not snowing and Mom is a thousand miles away. *** I wonder if a few of the students are heading down to the Mayan pyramids this week after finals. At the very least, flip-flops may make more sense, and, in any case, Mom will be even further away. Earlier this year, Ed Krupp, who runs the Griffith Park Observatory and who now and then enthusiastically pops up on TV, gave a lecture at Pomona College, saying that the Mayan calendar 12/21/12 end-of-the-world prediction is bunk, based on a faulty miscalculation. Nevertheless, the Peruvians are cashing in on the date, expecting quite a crowd. Another friend reports that a guy he knows with dreads down to at least his knees is on his way to the pyramids. Hell be joining something called the Rainbow Gathering. My friend, who isnt as young as he used to be, suggested that it is probably worthwhile to avoid this crowd. *** Assuming we get through 12/21/12 and make it into the new year, well be smack dab in a political campaign, complete with yard signs, coffees and debates, with Michael Keenan signing up at literally the last hour to run in the March 5 City Council election. For a few days, it looked like there wouldnt be more than the incumbents, Larry Schroeder and Corey Calaycay, in the 2-seat race, and, with the 2 simply being reappointed, we would have had a breather after the marathon of campaigning last year. Oh, well. As usual after New Years Day, lifeand the democratic processgoes on. That is, if Ed Krupp is right.
I just discovered the meaning of life. Would you like to share it with me?
Unwelcomed neighbors
Dear Editor: At the city council meeting last week, an issue related to the present and future character of Claremont was, once again, the subject of discussion. The question was: Should we discriminate between residents and non-residents when devising rules governing parking for the Wilderness Park and elsewhere? Several months ago, the council was asked to allow Claremont residents to park free in the south parking lot near the end of Mills Avenue close to both the Wilderness Park and Thompson Creek Trail, while charging non-Claremont residents to park there. It agreed to do so. This time, Councilmember Corey Calaycay sought to persuade other members of the council to allow free parking by Claremont residents on Via Santa Catarina, an entry point to the Wilderness Park at the top of Claraboya, but ban completely parking by nonClaremont residents. This time the effort to discriminate failed. The issue has both moral and practical implications for all of us in Claremont. First, discrimination in this case violates a moral principle that most of us, I believe, feel is basic to being a citizen of Claremont. Non-residents of this city have contributed millions and millions of dollars to purchase parts of the Wilderness Park. Through the county, visitors have contributed to a portion of the cost of the north parking lot, just west of the end of Mills Avenue. And, the north parking lot is built on land owned primarily by non-Claremont residents. Furthermore, as the controversy over trees on the Thompson Creek Trail has made clear, the Thompson Creek Trail is not built on land owned by Claremont residents. Yet, we plan to charge nonClaremont residents for parking in the south lot off Mills Avenue, but not charge Claremont residents. Thus, non-residents have provided us with considerable resources to acquire parts of the Wilderness Park and let us use considerable amounts of land to support both the Wilderness Park and the Thompson Creek Trail. It seems morally wrong to discriminate again those who have helped us so much. Second, non-residents provide Claremont with tax resources when they buy cars in Claremont, eat in our restaurants or shop in our stores. As non-Claremont residents realize the discrimination they face in this city, it is only reasonable that their patronage here would be more limited and tit-for-tat discrimination may develop in neighboring cities. Both actions would harm all of us. Finally, there are many residents of neighboring cities who work in Claremont, study in Claremont and/or volunteer in Claremont. Recently, I saw a list of volunteers at Claremonts Rancho Santa Ana
Botanic Garden and noted that many people from many different cities were helping the gardenand, the same is true for other Claremont organizations that rely on volunteers. Residency is only one of a variety of ways people identify with Claremont. Thus, for many reasons the discrimination against non-Claremont residents which the city council accepted in the case of the south parking lot for the Wilderness Park/Thompson Creek Trail, and for which Councilmember Calaycay advocated at last weeks council meeting, is both morally wrong and likely to harm the the residents of Claremont.

Claims and facts on water

Dear Editor: There has been a lot of information and misinformation provided about and by the Golden State Water Company (GSW), its parent company and acquisition of the Golden State Water Company by the city of Claremont. There will be a lot more words written in the future. Part of evaluating information is identifying the source, its reliability and biases it may have. Mr. Mlikotins Viewpoint article in the December 7 edition of the COURIER is an interesting case in point. We should evaluate his allegations in light of his background: he is President of both The California Alliance to Protect Private Property Rights, a 501(c)4 a non-profit organization that engages in lobbying or political campaigning organization, and of River City Communications, a PR firm. Both organizations have actively opposed municipalities efforts to use eminent domain to acquire the private water companies when they refuse to sell at any reasonable price. When I contacted Mr. Mlikotin by phone, he refused to confirm or deny if either GSW or its parent, American States Water Company, are funding or otherwise supporting his activities. I asked him this because both his article and GSW, in both its public announcements and in its application to the PUC for a rate increase, allege facts that are demonstrably false. Unchallenged, GSW cites the false as being true. As an aside, none of the information that GSW presents to the PUC in its rate increase application seems to be subject to perjury prosecution if it is found to be false, and the PUC is limited to ruling based on the information presented. In his article, Mr. Mlikotin alleges that ...its impossible to take on millions of dollars in debt and
slash water bills at the same time. This sounds like it should be true, but it is not. Renters often slash their net monthly housing costs by purchasing a house or condo and taking on a mortgage. Lets take a look at the Felton, California, water company acquisition he describes as proof that water bills will not be lowered by acquiring Golden State Water Company. The misrepresentations and partial truths are just like the information regularly provided by GSW. I wonder why? Claim: The takeover cost $13.4 million. Fact: The San Lorenzo Valley Water District purchased the system in 2008 for $10.5 million. Claim: Felton water customers are paying $535 more per year in property taxes to repay the 30-year bond needed to purchase the system. Fact: True, but economically irrelevant. Most water bills went down by much more than $535 per year, so their net outlay decreased. The exceptions were businesses such as laundromats that use large volumes of water, but even their net payback was less than 2 years. Claim: Felton water rates have been increased 3 times. Fact: Since the acquisition in 2008 there has been one increase of 30 percent phased in over 3 years (i.e. about 10 percent per year). This compares very favorably with the 44 percent and 30 percent increases imposed in 2004 and 2005 respectively prior to the acquisition when Feltons rates, like Claremonts, were already more than twice as high as their immediate neighbors. So whats my bias? Im a resident of Claremont who is tired of GSW and its apparent lackeys freely and wantonly providing both the general public and the PUC with false information.

OBITUARIES
Heath McGarry
Father, computer scientist, enthusiastic hobbyist
Heath Samuel Thomas McGarry died in Denver, Colorado on Thanksgiving Day. He was 37. Mr. McGarry was born February 14, 1975 at Pomona Valley Hospital, the youngest son of Tom and Juline McGarry. He showed mechanical aptitude early on, taking apart the family television at age 2 to see how it worked. Mr. McGarry attended Our Lady of the Assumption School and El Roble Intermediate School in Claremont before graduating from Bonita High School in La Verne. It was there that he met the love of his life, Amanda Britt Olivares, now Mandie McGarry. They were married on August 13, 1994. In 1993, Mr. McGarry joined the Marine Corps. After 4 years, he moved onto other endeavors, beginning by enrolling at ITT Technical Institute. However, true to the motto, Once a Marine, always a Marine, Mr. McGarry remained proud of his service in the military. After he graduated valedictorian from ITT, the FBI asked Mr. McGarry to join their team as an electronic technician. He also earned a masters degree in computer forensic science, which he began in Los Angeles, continued in Alaska and completed in Denver, Colorado. Mr. McGarry was happy working with the FBI and his colleagues felt like family, relatives shared. His coworkers had a nickname for him, iMac, because they said his mind was like a computer. Known as much for his generosity as for his intelligence, there is nothing Mr. McGarry wouldnt do for someone in need, his family related. In his free time, Mr. McGarry enjoyed archery and woodworking. An avid Harley Davidson enthusiast, he could build just about anything he put his mind to and rebuilt several Harleys, family shared. Mr. McGarrys greatest joy was his family, which included a son, Skylar Jacob, 9, and a daughter, Eliana Tzipora, 6. Mandie lost her best friend and Skylar and Eliana lost their daddytheir teacher of fishing, science projects and kisses, Mr. McGarrys mother Juline said. We will all miss our beloved Heath. Mr. McGarry is survived by his wife, Mandie; by his children, Skylar and Eliana; by his parents, Tom and Juline McGarry; by his brothers, Keith and Brad; by his mother- and father-in-law, Frank and Robin Olivares; by many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews; and by his extended families at the FBI and at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Colorado.

OBITUARIES
Ursula Maria Borrelli

Mother, polyglot, teacher, gifted chef
Ursula Borrelli, a longtime Claremont resident, died after a brief illness on December 6, 2012 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. She was 82. Mrs. Borrelli was born Ursula Lebeda in Germany on August 31, 1930. Her childhood was spent in the tumultuous times before, during and after World War II. In spite of bouts of starvation and the loss of family members in the war, she managed to finish her school years and later study at the Germersheim Dolmetscher Institut; her program enabled her to translate in real-time between English, French and German. She was headed for a career in the United Nations. In 1954, Mrs. Borrelli received a Fulbright scholarship to study in the United States and received a bachelors degree from Ursuline College in Louisville, Kentucky. Somewhere along the line, her interests changed and she decided to pursue a PhD in English at the University of Frankfurt. Just as a 4-to-one devaluation of the Deutsche Mark was about to cut her studies short, Mrs. Borrelli found a job teaching German with the University of Maryland Overseas Program. This job took her daily to a small intelligence unit of the US Army located near Offenbach, where she met her future husband, Robert Borrelli. They married in her mothers hometown, Bad Wildungen, on July 7, 1956. Nine months later, their first child, Monica, was born, in Germany, and Mrs. Borrellis graduate studies were interrupted for the time being. Upon discharge from the Army, Mr. Borrelli entered the PhD program in mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley and the family moved to the United States. During Mr. Borrellis graduate years, their other children, Christina, Stephen and Margaret, were born. Although the household budget was tight, Mrs. Borrelli never complained and learned how to make do with meager resources. To augment the family income, she taught a course in the German department at Stanford University. Mr. Borrelli finished his graduate studies in 1963 and found a job in industry. After just one year, he decided on a teaching career instead, and acreer lasted over 25 years between Claremont High School, Damien High School in La Verne and Don Lugo High School in Chino. The income from Mrs. Borrellis profession was used to supplement Mr. Borrellis modest salary to provide educational classes and recreational activities for her children. In later years, when the family income improved considerably and the children were through with their schooling, Mrs. Borrelli developed a program of charitable giving and became active in church activities. Most of the charities dear to her centered around children. The charitable organization that was especially important to her was the St. Labre Indian School in Ashland, Montana. Mrs. Borrelli took the opportunity to visit the school with Mr. Borrelli a few years ago. The other charities she supported included the Childrens Hospital of Los Angeles and Habitat for Humanity. Mrs. Borrelli was always willing to volunteer her time as well to various church and social functions; she became a lector for the Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Church and, most recently, she volunteered at her grandsons elementary school in Glendale as an aide. Mrs. Borrelli was a voracious reader, devouring 2 books a week and particularly relishing novels by British mystery writers like Agatha Christie and Elizabeth George. She was no bookworm, however, and remained physically active in later life through exercise and travel. She also continued to be a lifelong learner, expanding her knowledge of Italian, Spanish and all things Internet. Mrs. Borrelli also developed new hobbies that she was passionate about, such as scrapbooking to maintain the family history. A music-lover who particularly enjoyed the compositions of George Frideric Handel, she also sang with the Mountainside Master Chorale. Mrs. Borrelli was a devoted wife, loving mother and loyal friend, whose kindness, humor and gentle wisdom will be deeply missed, family said, adding that the people of Claremont enriched her life and she touched the lives of many. Mrs. Borrelli is survived by her husband of 56 years, Robert, her 4 children, Monica, Christina, Stephen and Margaret, 11 grandchildren, 4 great-grandchildren and her sister, Lucia Hartung of Germany.
cepted an assistant professorship at Harvey Mudd College for half of his industrial salary. The family moved to Claremont and Mrs. Borrelli once again pitched in like a trooper, running the household with 4 children and tight resources efficiently and without complaint. During her childhood in World War II, Mrs. Borrelli and her family at times had to subsist on soup made from potato peels. As a result, she knew the value of a tasty and nutritious meal. An excellent cook who had earned a certificate from the Cordon Bleu cooking school in Paris, Mrs. Borrelli did wonders in the kitchen. She loved to experiment with the recipes culled from around the world in the Sunset series of cookbooks and was known for her delectable short ribs. Another specialty was a pudding made by boiling rice and milk, seasoned with sugar and cinnamon, called Milchreis mit Zucker und Zimt. We kids used to love that, Mrs. Borrellis daughter Monica shared. Later, when Mr. Borrelli developed diabetes, Mrs. Borrelli revamped their diet, tinkering with recipes to ensure that they were low-fat and low-sodium. Her meals were still delicious, her family shared, and often featured fresh produce from the farmers market or from the Borrellis own garden. After her youngest daughter entered school, Mrs. Borrelli was able to attend Claremont Graduate University to obtain a teaching certificate and begin a career teaching high school French, German and English. Her teaching ca-

CHS baseball alum signs for pro team

Claremont High baseball player Matt Anderson (class of 2009) made a leap in his career last week, signing a deal to play with the Seattle Mariners. Anderson made the switch to the varsity level his sophomore year in high school, playing catcher and infielder before trying out pitching. Andersons versatility on the diamond meant that he played a number of different positions before finding the one most conducive to his teams success. At Chaffey College, Anderson quickly became indispensable. He was voted MVP at the third base position. After his first year, Anderson made the conversion to pitcher. He then transferred to Long Beach State for his final years of eligibility, spending most of the time pitching. Anderson went undrafted by Major League teams, and began playing collegiate summer ball for the Palm Springs Power. It was here that Andersons stock rose dramatically, including pitching a no-hitter and an 18-strikeout game, among other impressive performances. Mariner scouts liked his stuff after putting a radar gun on one of Andersons fastballs, and gave him an offer to play rookie ball in Arizona. He begins spring training with his new team in February.

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.
