Dear Editor: I have lived in The Club for over 15 years. The big, mature pine trees that line my streets are one of the reasons my family move here. Its also one of the reasons that the people who live here, and so many others from outside the neighborhood, drive through, walk their dogs, push their strollers, jog and run here, not because the sidewalks and streets are a challenge to walk on or unsafe. The removal of 59 trees now and others in 4 years is because they are damaging the hardscape, not because they are diseased or at risk to fall. Their removal would drastically change the appearance of our neighborhood and reduce the value of my home. The proposed Tree Replacement Program would destroy valuable environmental assets that will take generations or more to replace, and it would also set a bad precedent for other neighborhoods throughout the city of Claremont that are now, or soon will be, facing the challenge of maintaining their mature trees. I do not support the views of my HOA and the city staff. I support the current tree policy!

Dear Editor: I am writing in response to Mayor Larry Schroeders letter to the editor (Friday, March 8) suggesting that the city has been fully compliant with the intent and spirit of the California Public Records Act (PRA). The California Alliance to Protect Private Property Rights, a California private property rights organization, respectively disagrees with the mayors assertion. For one, the city has not provided us all the documents we requested, including those required by law. We know this to be true because the city has been corresponding with other public agencies, and these agencies have provided us the very same documents that the city of Claremont has chosen to withhold from our organization and the public. Secondly, the city has violated the spirit of the law by employing delay tactics to delay even the simplest requests. Such tactics may be legal, but are designed to withhold public information for the longest period possible. Claremont residents share our interest in an open and transparent government. Even if the city can legally withhold some documents, there is nothing prohibiting the city from releasing a simple statement that explains how they intend to finance the taking of Golden State Water Company's private property by eminent domain and whether such action will in fact lead to lower water rates. We hope the mayor, city council and staff reconsider their long held belief that the public is not entitled to know how the city intends to use their tax dollars.

Council shelves vote on gun control resolution

After 2 hours of back-and-forth debate, the Claremont City Council decided not to vote on gun control, at least for another couple weeks. With Sam Pedroza absent from the Tuesday night meeting, the council supported refraining from a vote adopting a resoCITY lution in support of the COUNCIL Assault Weapons Ban of 2013 until all were present. The decision was made with a 3-1 vote. Mayor Pro Tem Opanyi Nasiali cast the dissenting vote because he believed the council was ready to make its decision. With the same 3-1 vote, Mayor Larry Schroeder will also hold off on adding his name to the Mayors Against Illegal Guns. Voting on the resolution and petition is expected to take place at the next council meeting on March 26. The assault weapons ban is currently being considered by the US Congress in response to recent mass shootings. If approved, the ban would stop the sale, transfer, importation and manufacturing of military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition feeding devices, according to Senator Dianne Feinstein, author of the bill. Refraining from a vote may not have been popular with all in the room, but the majority of the council, even with its difference of opinion on the topic, left the vote undecided without qualms. Whether you are a Democrat, a Republican, Libertarian, Tea Partier or decline to state, having a public debate of sorts that we had tonight is a win-win situation, said Mayor Larry Schroeder. It airs the viewpoints of everybody. The crowd amassed at City Hall was

reflective of the nations divison, with equal debate from all sides of the issue. There was standing room only in the City Council Chamber despite the relatively light council agenda. And not without reason. Issues of gun control have been a dominant area of debate as Claremonters and citizens across the country ponder the recent succession of mass shootings. In the wake of the tragic events in Aurora, Colorado and New-
town, Connecticut among others, the nation has remained divided on the topic of gunsis stricter gun control the answer to the problem or would it only infringe upon the Constitutional right to bear firearms? Should guns be banned or proper gun education encouraged? These were among the questions posed to the city council before a decision would be made. Claremont residents came to the meeting equipped with
their own array of answers, from those calling for support of the ban to those calling for the city to give it a rest when it comes to localizing national issues. What would be appropriate is to have a discussion, in a different venue of course, on firearms and the Second Amendment, suggested Claremont resident Douglas Lyon. What is not

Banks use of solar panels part of ongoing movement
hile Claremont residents have come to know and appreciate the historic nature of the US Bank building on the corner of Indian Hill and Foothill boulevards, there is a new aspect to the old architecture thats grabbing attention.
It comes in the form of photovoltaic paneling. Claremonts US bank is going solar. Last month, the city approved the banks request to install 200 solar panels on the roof and on the attached, shaded carport areas to the rear of the business, which are expected to generate 185 kilowatts of energy per day. Thats enough to power much of the banks solar needs on sunny days, according to bank spokesperson Nicole Garrison-Sprenger. Each solar panel is comprised of a series of reflective photovoltaic cells, which absorb the suns energy. The energy absorbed is then transmitted through a wire to an inverter box within the building, which converts that energy to make it compatible with household appliances. Claremonts branch is one of 4 southern California US Banks jumping on the solar bandwagon. In addition to Claremont, installations have begun in Downey, Los Alamitos and Rancho Cucamonga. The bank hopes to COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff have 9 banks fitted with solar panels by the end of April Robert Franco of Champion Electric installs solar panels on a new covered parking area Tuesday at the US Bank as part of its effort to cut back on energy costs.

appropriate is for a special interest pressure group to ask this council to adopt a Constitution-hostile resolution, which would presume to speak for all of Claremont on the national issue, an issue over which this council has no jurisdiction. Others begged to differ. People here can get killed like in Newtown, Colorado, Utah, Arizona or anywhere else, said Claremont resident Robert Smith.
The Claremont City Council adopted a set of best practices to refrain from taking a policy stance on all matters clearly unrelated to the local jurisdiction. That practice has become muddled of late as residents question what is and is not the responsibility of local government. Over the past year, the council has adopted resolutions in favor of last elections Prop 30, approving a quarter-cent rise in sales tax over the next 4 years to provide funding to Californias public schools, as well as one in favor of fair banking practices.

Residents voiced a wide array of opinions about the issue of gun control during the public comment session of Tuesday nights city council meeting.
Best practices were called into question once again with this latest resolution request. At the councils February 26 meeting, residents came before the council in public comment to request a policy on gun control be adopted. At the same time, Mayor Larry Schroeder told the council that he had been asked to sign a position by the Mayors Against Illegal Guns Coalition, but did not feel it was right for him to do so as mayor of Claremont until he received council approval. After examining council policy, city administrators went ahead with suggesting the resolution in part because
they believed City Manager Tony Ramos position on the Public Safety Committee for the League of California Cities put council within its right to adopt a supportive stance. However, others feel the city needs to steer clear of wide-sweeping issues like immigration and global warming and instead focus on important local matters, like concerns with Wilderness Park safety and overcrowding and the citys continued fiscal health. Your real issues are local, said Nick Quackenbos, addressing the council. Parks, trees, affordable housing, streets, good business climate.
Claremont resident Douglas Lyon addresses the Claremont City Council while fellow resident Karl Hilgert waits for his turn on Tuesday as the council considers the symbolic assault ban measure. Mr. Lyons was against the measure while Mr. Hilgert was in favor.
Mayor Pro Tem Opanyi Nasiali and Corey Calaycay felt the city should not be voting for or against an issue on which the community is clearly so divided. Mayor Larry Schroeder and Joe Lyons voiced support on the matter. Mr. Pedroza will be in the hot seat next week as opinions voiced by council members at the meeting are as split as those of the audience. Beth Hartnett
Friday, March 8 A resident of the 100 block of Sunflower Place is probably wishing they had been a little more watchful over a purse left in their car, in plain sight, overnight, according to Lieutenant Shelly Vander Veen. A burglar performed a series of smash-and-grabs in the Sunflower Place neighborhood Thursday night and claimed the purse as their own. Inside the purse was $1000 in cash.

Police catch man with slew of outstanding charges

On Thursday, March 7, the claim that his truck had run out of gas wasnt enough to justify 53-year-old Eddie Pazs decision to change his mode of transport to a stolen bike, especially when it turns out the truck was stolen to begin with. Police caught up with Mr. Paz at the Keck Science Center where they found him, bolt cutters in hand, putting the bike Rincon Azteca across the complex: front glass door smashed, register gone. Total loss is estimated at over $3000 including damages. Burglars were back at it later that day, but this time on the other side of town. Two subjects kicked in the front door of Luscious Nails and Spa (446 Auto Center Dr.) and stole cash and equipment from the store. The suspects then smashed a hole in the wall to enter the adjacent business, the M.W. Smoke Shop, located at 444 Auto Center Dr. Once inside, the suspects removed cash and merchandise. The burglars are described as 2 black males, who were seen driving a tan SUV with chrome rims. It is unknown if they are connected to the other crimes. Police are requesting the publics help in locating the crooks involved in any of these cases. Any information should be reported to the Claremont Police Department at 399-5411. **** Claremont police put a 32-year-old into the back of the stolen pickup. While police werent able to nab the man for the stolen bike because it wasnt registered, they didnt need help finding a slew of other charges to file against the Bloomington resident. Mr. Paz was arrested for the stolen car, possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Twenty-four-year-old Angelo Gonzalez of Claremont was allegedly causing such a scenecussing and yelling at his mom for supposedly taking too long at Subway, according to the police logsthat a security guard at Claremonts Super King market was moved to call the cops. Police met up with Mr. Gonzalez in the parking lot where he refused to calm down, causing a struggle before officers were able to successfully take him into custody, according to Lt. Vander Veen. He was wanted for an outstanding warrant for vandalism. Wednesday, March 13 Just 2 weeks after Inka Trails Peruvian Restaurant and the Shell Gas Station were targeted in early-morning burglaries, the north Claremont business burglars are back at it. Two more establishments were targeted in an early Wednesday morning spree in the Vons Shopping Center, located at 546 E. Base Line Road. Police responded to Euro Cafe, another Peruvian eatery, after the burglary alarm was activated around 2 a.m. The front glass door was found smashed and the register missing. The story was similar over at

Unknowingly, the customer had been dealt a fraudulent $20 bill. The cashier spotted it immediately and called police, but the customer was released when it was determined that they really were none-the-wiser as to the counterfeit money. Police left with the fake money, while the patron left empty-handed. Sunday, March 10 One persons potential pocket dial ended up being anothers misfortune. The accidental call lead police right to Vail Park, 2454 Grand Ave., where a Claremont man was hoping to stay off the polices grid.

Donny Wade faces criminal charges of lewd acts with a child as well as communicating with a minor with the intent of committing an offense, according to Lt. Vander Veen. The teenager had been missing for 5 days before police caught up with her on the roof of the parking structure at First Street and Claremont Boulevard. The teen had been linked to Mr. Wades home and several local hotels before she was found. Police were able to locate her by tracking her computer usage. Police say Mr. Wade and the juvenile had met through online chat rooms on Meetme.com. Mr. Wade successfully persuaded the girl to come out to Claremont, buying her a ticket on the Greyhound on March 8. Mr. Wade is being held for $100,000 bail. His arraignment was held yesterday, March 14.

EDUCATION
Passionate presentation still may not convince board to support charter school
Kids are slipping through the cracks in the Claremont Unified School District, Lynette Lucas asserted at the Thursday, March 7 school board meeting. You have the power to save a community of children that is essentially dying, she told the school board during a public hearing for the Embracing the Whole Child Arts and Technology Academy. Ms. Lucas assured the board and community members that her proposed charter schoolwhich she emphasized would feature a rigorous, Common Core-based curriculum and meaningful interventionsis not aimed at students who are thriving within CUSD schools. Instead, the academy would focus on severely socio-economically disadvantaged (SED) kids, such as those living in mobile homes and residential hotels like the American Inn, located along Foothill Boulevard. Though the neighborhoods she cited are in Pomona, they are in an area of CUSD known as the Wedge, which includes the region from Towne to Garey on the northbound side as well as a small portion south of Garey on Foothill. Many of these kids, though they belong to CUSD, arent enrolled in schools here and are, instead, scattered to the winds, Ms. Lucas said. Those who do attend district schools face significant challenges, including families so poor they may not even have a car and insufficient wardrobes that may draw jeers and foster low self-esteem. Most significantly, Claremonts SED students have an 18 to 25 percent deficit in their state testing scores as compared to Claremonts higher-income students, she noted. While any CUSD student could be able to apply for the academy, which would offer hands-on arts and technology experiences, SED students would have enrollment priority. We want to serve homeless kids, foster kidskids who are behind 2 years or more or who are being a problem in your classes, Ms. Lucas said. Often, despair is disguised as bad behavior. An earlier petition filed by Ms. Lucas, executive director of the Oxnard-based Embracing the Whole Child Foundation (EWCF), and EWCF president Julie Thompson, a Montclair resident, was rejected in June of 2012. The board listed several reasons for its rejection of the Embracing the Whole Child Academy, including concern over the soundness of the proposed schools educational program and doubt as to EWCF staffers ability to implement their concept. The boards concerns were echoed by Jeffrey DesCombes, owner of the Claremont-based company Sprocket Digital. He worried that if a charter school were to be created without the proper organizational structure, the students would be at risk should the school fail. Mr. DesCombes took to the podium again Thursday, saying that the questions raised by the first petition were left unanswered by the second petition. According to Mr. DesCombes, his research revealed no foundation website, no record of any board meeting and a group of organizers that seemed to largely hail from outside the district. Mr. DesCombes also expressed concern that Ms. Lucas and her team at EWCF were not striving to create a relationship with Claremonters and meet-and-greets, etc. They dont seem to have the inherent structure to make it successful, Mr. DesCombes said. Ms. Lucas, who has cited more than 20 years in the education field as her qualification for this endeavor, says the EWCF has undertaken significant outreach efforts, including tutoring services and a Thanksgiving dinner for residents of the American Inn. The board for the proposed school, CUSD which would intitially serve 63 students, has met, she NEWS added, but since they are only a foundation at this point and not a school, they havent been legally required to post their minutes. Ms. Lucas has notably served as a teacher in the Rio School District in Oxnard. In spring of 2012, she launched a recall drive, petitioning to remove Eleanor Torres, Henrietta Macias and Ramon Rodriguez from their positions on the Rio School District Board of Directors, citing financial mismanagement. In 2010, Ms. Lucas challenged the Rio School District Teachers Union, for what she claimed was a poorly run union that shirked rules and left teachers in the dark about union finances and governance, according to the Ventura County Reporter. Ms. Lucas lodged complaints of dishonesty and financial mismanagement with police, the Fair Political Practices Commission, the Public Employee Relations Board (PERB) and the Internal Revenue Service. Though the recall effort was unsuccessful, Ms. Lucas said her complaints about the union were later corroborated by the PERB, among others. With her focus shifted to Claremont, Ms. Lucas said she feels passionate about helping the most vulnerable of the citys students. She cited a recent conversation with a CUSD third grader who was unable to read and cried when they spoke, saying he wanted to learn. While it is up to the board to ponder whether or not to approve Ms. Lucas petition, Mike Bateman, assistant superintendent of student services and the districts homeless liaison, said the charter schools goals may represent a duplication of services.
Every school in the district has programs in place to aid SED students, he noted. Student services staff visit sites like the American Inn at least twice a year, he said, making sure families there are aware of and enrolled in Claremont schools. Ms. Lucas said that the district would have to visit a site like the American Inn at least once a month to make a meaningful impact, because families are not allowed to stay in the regions residential motels for more than 30 days at a time. CUSD also makes a concerted effort to make sure its SED pupils have the proper supplies and support, Mr. Bateman continued. When they need it, the districts poorest families are referred to support programs ranging from Tri-City Mental Health Services to Claremont Connect, an online database connecting the community to government, nonprofit and pro-bono social services . We educate all kids in Claremont, regardless of what status you come from and where you live, Mr. Bateman said. Our schools go out and really work with these families. Ms. Lucas pointed out that, considering that the districts lowest-income students dont have access to computers, they are unable to benefit from the citys online resources. Her proposed charter school, which aims to put a tablet computer in each students hands, would address the technology deficit head-on, she said. No source of funding for such techonology is noted in the charter school proposal. In these tough economic times, every district in the country has more need than they can reasonably address, Ms. Lucas said, but the Whole School Academy of Arts and Technology, represents a start at addressing the problem.

Do we beware the ides, and others, too much?

by John Pixley
wo weeks ago, it was warm enough on Friday afternoon for me to take off my shirt and just wear my overalls. Whats more, I could sit and read out in my backyard.
Not bad for March 1. And it was yet another reason, or perhaps the reason, we love it here in southern California. We have all heard the stories about people calling their relatives or friends in the frigid Midwest and gloating or of people getting up on snow-bound New Years Days and turning on the television to watch the Rose Parade in impossibly sunny, balmy Pasadena (and how many then move here?). But it was still winter. Even as I enjoyed getting an early start on my tan, I knew that winter wasnt over and that it would be cold and wet in a few days. Sure enough, a couple storms came through last week. That, as I learned when reading an article in the Los Angeles Times late last month, didnt stop Los Angeles from closing its Westside winter shelter for the homeless on March 1 for the season. Never mind that the next week was forecast to be wet and cold. Never mind that, even now, the season isnt over for another week. And never mind that, even in sunny, funny SoCal, the first month or so of spring can bring rain and chilly weather (after all, April showers bring May flowers). And what about the summer heat and smog? Never mind giving the homeless shelter from that. The article I was reading was about a storage trailer made available in a pilot program in Venice Beach where the homeless could keep their stuff not allowed at the overnight shelter. The unit was accessible for two hours each afternoon and was, like the shelter, slated to close down on March 1. Were going to bag and tag [their items], said Los Angeles Councilman Bill Rosendahl, who represents Venice. We want to make it inconvenient but within the law." How convenientor inconvenientwill Claremont make it for the homeless on its streets? Will we put up with them until a certain random date, no matter how cold or how wet or how hot it is, and then thats it, we kick them out...to where (theyre already on the street)?
observer
Ive been wondering about this as Claremont has been discovering its homeless in the last year or so. Thats rightdiscoveringfor, after declaring that there were 3 homeless people in Claremont, the city, with the assistance of people involved in Occupy Claremont, saw that it was off by a factor of 10 and that there are thirty people at least living on Claremonts streets. Not only that, but the city has been discovering that it has to do something about the homeless, other than throw them out (to Pomona, to Ontario, to LAs skid row, if we really want to answer the to where question). Back when the city presumably thought that there were 3 homeless people in Claremont, it passed an ordinance outlawing public camping and sleeping, essentially banning the homeless, but there was a court ruling saying that such a law is unconstitutional. Since then, there has been another court ruling, stemming from Los Angeles, decreeing that a homeless persons items, left unattended, cannot be discarded. Los Angeles has been wrestling with this, recently requesting an appeal, and it appears that the storage trailer in Venice was an answer. Another answer in Los Angeles has been something called SHARE, in which a small group of homeless people live in a house, made available by its owner and with rules, where they get the services they need to regain or gain stability in their lives. Maybe one of these houses can be in Claremont. The Claremont City Council has recently decided to make the homeless a priority, and as it ponders what to do with them (other than kick them out), is there a reason why there cant be a house like this here? Or will the focus be on getting the homeless out of Claremont? Will the city do everything it can to deter the homeless, certainly not to attract them, and not to reach out to those who are here and try to help them? There are those who argue that offering services at-
tracts the homeless. Yes, beware the Ides may well be good advice, but compassion and charity are also known for good results. Making the homeless more of a problem may well only make the homeless more of a problem. Something like this happened about ten years ago when LA County came up with a proposal to have five regional service centers for the homeless rather than having so many of the homeless funnel into Skid Row in L.A. However, there was so much of a NIMBY outcry that the idea was shelved, and now Skid Row has become even more of a sinkhole, with, probably as a result, a rare strain of TB being the latest problem. I wonder if such a service center or a S.H.A.R.E house here is even possible when there was a commentary in these pages last week stating that many neighbors are vehemently against hospice, assisted living and community group houses in northern Claremont. The worry is that these residential homes for the dying, the elderly and other challenged individuals, regulated and monitored by the state, are a threat to "our treasured neighborhoods. Dying people. Foster kids. People in wheelchairs. A threat? Really? And this is the homeless were talking about here. Were not talking about convicted sex offenders who have completed their prison terms and are listed in a public registry and who are trying to be constructive members of society. They are being driven out even in LA, where small pocket parks are being put in. Yes, its good that some areas are finally getting parks, even if they are only a swing set and a bench on a patch of grass. But, as was pointed out in a recent Los Angeles Times article, these new parks also have another, perhaps primary purpose: Convicted sex offenders cant live within 2000 feet from parks, as well as schools and other such places. Being cautious and on guard is all well and good, as the Ides of March remind us. But I wonder if the upcoming season of renewed life and hope, of newfound freedom and peace, has a message for us as we consider how to deal with the others in our midst.
Rockin my mom clothes

by Debbie Carini
heres a picture of me from the mid1980s and Im looking pretty chic in a pair of black leggings and an oversized silk shirt. I wore this pairing to work and felt, in the parlance of my then fashion copywriting job, that it could go from 9 to 5 and after, from the desk to dinner, from the boardroom to happy hour.
The other day, I found myself in a somewhat similar outfit before heading out to eatelastic-waist bottoms and extra large shirt (albeit more tee-shirty than silky) when my husband looked at me and said, Are you going out in your mom clothes? First of all, yesbecause when Im going out for dinner, elastic waist pants always seem like a good idea (in terms of comfort and capacity), and second of all, yesbecause thats about what fits me in my closet right now (especially if I want to sit down at the restaurant and not risk ricocheting a button throughout the establishment and potentially shooting someones eye out). What are mom clothes anyway? It had the tinge of political-incorrectness to it. If my husband puts on a T-shirt and jeans, thats his
outfit. If I try to sport the same look (add some Lycra stretch), thats mom clothes! I really did try in the beginning, when the kids first arrived. But how many times did I make an effort, only to be soiled in some vile manner? Short of wearing a rain slicker year-round, or inventing the mom-bib (theres an idea for some Esty-minded entrepreneur), I often had no choice but to don what could reasonably weather the detritus of childhood (or what the police describe as spatter patterns). The sheer litany of stains Ive endured (as have most other parents) is mind-boggling and their occurrence seemed to fall in direct relation to my state of dress, for example: a good silk blouse on mom equals a kiss on the shoulder from a child after hes eaten a slightly melted chocolate candy bar.
Ive learned how to remove bubble gum Im sorry it just fell out of my mouth, said whichever child left that on my jeansby putting the garment in the freezer for a while. And how to take out grease stains made by those french fry-oiled fingers that reach out to use your sleeve as a napkin (dish soap!). For all other incidents, Im basically the mom with the stain stick product on a keychain (make sure your kids can read before you start carrying this around though, so they dont try to use it as lip balmjust saying). In the end, I did change my outfit so that I wasnt wearing mom clothes on the date night with my husband. But in the restaurant, as I ripped the corner of a package of soy sauce, I suffered a little PTSD (post traumatic stain disorder) flashing back to the times Id been accidentally squirted by packet juice of all sorts (ketchup, mustard, taco sauce), proving once and for all, that you can take the woman out of mom clothes, but you should never take the mini stain stick off your key chain.
AB1064 school funding

[Editors note: The following letter was sent to Assemblyman Chris Holden, 41st District, with a copy forwarded for publication. KD] Dear Editor While I appreciate [Assemblyman Chris Holdens] good intentions for funding schools, I do not think the proposal to use student enrollment is the appropriate mechanism. As a former teacher for 37 years, I offer the following input. Presently, the schools receive funds based on student average daily attendance (ADA). This method incentivizes school administrators to enforce student atten-

dance. The proposed bill has the potential to weaken this incentive unless it includes a provision to enforce student attendance. If the bill should be passed, I suggest you include a provision which requires parents to ensure students attendance when school is in session. As it is, with existing ADAbased funding, parents pull their students from school before the school day ends. I propose further strengthening of the ADA-based funding by requiring that attendance is recorded at the end of the school day rather than at the beginning, as is the case currently. Recording attendance at the end of the day will ensure that students stay in classexcept in case of emergencyfor the whole school day, and school administrators will have more incentive to insist that parents do not take their students out of class before the end of the school day. After all, the objective is to educate students, and that can be achieved only when the students are in class. Both parents and
school administrators have the responsibility to ensure that students are in the classroom for the entire school day. Therefore, while funding of schools is important, it should not be the sole objective. The objective should always be to educate students and that can only be achieved if the students are in school. Thank you for the endeavour to improve our educational system. Nevertheless, emphasis should be placed on having the students in the classroom and not merely sending money to schools, which seems to be the objective of the proposed bill.

City dismisses Wilderness Park citations, announces lot opening
ikers at the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park started up the trail to enjoy last Saturdays sunshine only to receive an unpleasant surprise at the end of the loop. About 30 parking tickets were issued to Wilderness Park visitors on March 9 as no parking signs went up on Mills Avenue and Mt. Baldy Road in anticipation of the newly expanded north lot. However, it appears officers may have been a little too eager. On Monday yellow plastic bags had been placed over the no parking signs located along Mills Avenue. Later that evening, city officials informed
the public that parking along Mills would not be restricted until the new lot opens, which is not expected for another couple weeks. The tickets were mistakenly issued and will be voided, according to Claremont Chief of Police Paul Cooper. The signs were supposed to be covered until the lot was open, Chief Cooper said. Someone in engineering put up some no parking signs in areas that are going to be enforced once the new parking lot opens, and that wasnt communicated to us. Officers were simply doing their job, Chief Cooper continues, as the police department gets complaints all the time
about illegally parked cars [at the Wilderness Park]. Those who received a ticket for parking within the newly restricted areas at the Wilderness Park over the weekend will be contacted by the police and advised that the citations will be voided, according to Chief Cooper. However, while the newest parking restrictions will not go into effect until the parking lots opening, it was noted that all previous restrictions will continue to be enforced. City staff will be available to answer questions at the Wilderness Park entrance this Saturday and Sunday, March 16 and 17. Information on the new parking restrictions will be available. Questions may also be directed to the Claremont Police Department at 399-5411. City preps for parking lot opening After months of construction, the newly expanded parking lot is expected to make its debut on Friday, March 22.
However, in order to prepare for the opening, the Wilderness Park will have to close first. The city will shut off access to the park entirely on Wednesday and Thursday, March 20 and 21 as construction is finalized. In addition to park closure, Mills Road north of Mt. Baldy and the Wilderness Parks south lot at Mills and Mt. Baldy will also be closed to traffic. Parking restrictions on Mills and Mt. Baldy along with enforcement of the new parking lot permits and metered parking will begin on April 1, according to the city. Annual permits are now available at Claremont City Hall and the Alexander Hughes Community Center for $75 each. Claremont residents may obtain a maximum of 2 free passes by presenting an id or utility bill. City Hall is located at 207 Harvard Ave. The Hughes Center is at 1700 Danbury Rd.

OBITUARIES
Orchestra (1984) as well as with the Claremont United Methodist Church Choir and the Pilgrim Congregational Church Choir in Pomona. Mrs. Tates specialty was performing solos in large works, such as the Verdi Requiem, Mozart Requiem and Beethovens Mass in C major. One of Mrs. Tates favorite retirement pastimes was travel. She and her husband visited the British Isles, France, Germany, Spain, China, Russia and Austria and, while in the latter, enjoyed singing together with the Classical Music Seminar participants in Eisenstadt. One of her favorite destinations, though, was home, by which she meant Alabama and, more specifically, Birmingham. Much of her family stayed in that area and raised their families, so it was always a joy for Mrs. Tate to visit with her kinfolk. Theres a saying, Once a Southerner, always a Southerner. After a few years in California, Mrs. Tates Southern accent faded until relatives insisted she sounded like a Yankee. She still identified as a Southerner, however, and loved to wear her GRITS hat: i.e. Girls Raised in The South. And yes, she did often cook grits for breakfast. Most recently, the 2012 family reunion drew her, for the last time, to see her homeland and to hug the people who meant so much to her. Just after that, she and her husband flew to Missouri to see their son, grandchildren and 5 greatgrandchildren, a visit that will be cherished by her family for many years. Ms. Tate couldnt tell a jokeshe always started off with the punch-line but she had a great sense of humor and loved to laugh, her husband said. She was a people person who made friends quickly, an ability that was no more evident than during her last years at Mt. San Antonio Gardens, where she continually made new friendships and renewed old ones. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend, and will be sorely missed, family shared. Mrs. Tate is survived by her husband, John Tate of Claremont; by her sons and daughters-in-law, Paul and Barbara Tate of Wright City, Missouri and David and Tammy Tate of Menifee, California; by her grandchildren, Lora (Tate) and Jason Jacobson of Kahoka, Missouri, John Paul and Sarah Tate of High Ridge, Missouri, Cheryl (Tate) and Ryan Hatch of Chicago, Illinois and Gordon Tate of Wright City, Missouri; and by 4 greatgrandchildren, Lance Jacobson and William, Kalina and Joshua Tate. Mrs. Tate is also survived by 2 sisters, Irene (Jordan) Caplan of Dalton, Massachusetts and Maude Ellen (Jordan) Brown of Valley Grande, Alabama, and by one brother, David Jordan of Birmingham, Alabama. She was preceded in death by 2 brothers, Eugene and Timothy Jordan; by 4 sisters, Martha (Jordan) Stewart, Sara (Jordan) Coe, Carolyn (Jordan) McCracken and JoAnn (Jordan) Johnston; by a number of nieces and nephews and, most recently, by one great-grandchild, Sawyer Jacobson. A memorial service for Mrs. Tate will be held on Sunday, April 21 at 3 p.m. at the Claremont United Methodist Church, located at 211 W. Foothill Blvd. in Claremont. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Cotty College FAIB, 1000 W. Austin Blvd., Nevada, MO 64772-2790, or to the Mt. San Antonio Gardens Homeship Fund, 900 E.

Talented vocalist, loving wife, mother and grandmother

Janet Virginia Jordan Tate died in her sleep in the early morning hours of Wednesday, March 6, 2013 at age 81. She had recently been in failing health due to multiple problems related to her heart and lungs. Mrs. Tate was born on December 14, 1931 in Birmingham, Alabama, the ninth child and the youngest of 7 girls in a family of 10 children. Hers was a musical family. Her father was director for a high school marching band as well as for a community band and her mother played violin in the local symphony orchestra. Each of Mrs. Tates siblings learned to play various instruments. She played flute and piano, though she eventually became primarily a vocalist. When Mrs. Tate was 17, she studied voice with the Julliard faculty, learning the Bel Canto technique she practiced the rest of her life. She later studied at Howard College, now Samford University, in Birmingham, earning a bachelors degree in vocal music. While she was there, mutual friends introduced her to a student at another local school, Birmingham-Southern College, named John Tate. She and Mr. Tate had grown up living less than a mile from one another. They had even attended the same high school, where Mr. Tate had admired his future wife, who was a year older, from afar. He was charmed by her singing voice, among other attributes. The most attractive part of her was her smile, which was a magnet to her personality, he said. They were married in Birmingham in October of 1954 and lived in Sylacauga, Alabama for 3 years, where they both taught in the local school district. They welcomed their first child before moving to Texas. After Mr. Tate finished graduate school at Southern Methodist Uni-
versity in Dallas, they lived for a time in San Jose, where Mrs. Tate gave birth to a second son. Mrs. Tate was a working mother, teaching vocal music in public schools at the primary and secondary levels in Dallas and San Jose as well as previously in Alabama. In 1964, the Tates settled in Claremont, where Mrs. Tate earned a masters degree in vocal music from Claremont Graduate University and taught vocal music in the Alta Loma and Central school districts in Rancho Cucamonga. Later, she developed an interest in home economics, particularly sewing, and taught in that area until retiring in 1987. Aside from her professional career, Mrs. Tate was known as a soprano soloist in the southern California area. Her solo performance experience included singing in the arena in Ephesus, Turkey where the apostle Paul preached and singing on HCJB radio in Quito, Ecuador. Locally, she was a soloist with the University of La Vernes Choir and
Lynn Tobin Jackson

Community activist, political advocate
Lynn Tobin Jackson, a longtime Claremont resident, died on March 7, 2013. She was 77. Ms. Jackson was born on February 19, 1936 in Springfield, Illinois to Ruth Ashmore Tobin and J. Willard Tobin. She earned a bachelors degree in English from the University of Illinois and taught English and history for some time, then went on to pursue a PhD in sociology at the Claremont Graduate University. Wherever Ms. Jackson went, she threw herself into community service. Beginning in 1962, she was an active and longstanding champion of the League of Women Voters. In 1979, she was elected to the Claremont Unified School District Board of Education, serving as board president during her tenure. Ms. Jackson made a significant impact on the district, according to fellow board member Jim Merrill. She instituted a tradition: During each board meeting, she would make a point of circulating among the audience members so she could hear their concerns. She really believed strongly that we needed to listen to what the parents and residents were thinking about our schools, Mr. Merrill said. As a strong supporter of the arts, she fought for programs like the high school theater department. She was also a ligence in a new direction, returning to school to pursue a law degree at Loyola Marymount University. After becoming a lawyer at age 50, she practiced law at Legal Aid in Compton for 20 years, and was dedicated to the low-income community she served. Sandy Baldonado, a Claremont lawyer who attended law school with Ms. Jackson when she, too, was in her 40s, says she was a truly good and decent person. Lynn was a brilliant lawyer who, instead of focusing on making money, dedicated her legal abilities to the poor, Ms. Baldonado said. Ms. Jacksons upbeat demeanor was another asset in her profession, according to another friend, Sue Keith. staunch advocate of athletic opportunities I suspect her clients, the most vulnerfor girls, in an era when Title IX was in its able members of society, were comforted infancy At the time, CHS had only one by this strong, determined women whose gymnasium, which was usually used for ready smile and sunny personality could boys sports such as basketball and volley- turn despair into hope, Ms. Keith said. ball.

OBITUARIES
her arrest. A steadfast champion of human rights, Ms. Jackson also had a soft spot for animals. Growing up, she loved spending time on her familys farm, where she would ride horses with her grandfather. Horseback riding continued to bring Ms. Jackson joy throughout her life. She kept horses in Claremont for a time and spent many summers at the family cabin in New Mexico, horseback riding, hiking and enjoying the outdoors. Whatever she did, Ms. Jackson had the support of her husband of 41 years, Steve. When I think of Lynn, I think of Lynn and Steve together, good friends to each other and to those of us who have known them well, Ms. Keith said. They shared a bond, a commitment to social justice, and both put their principles into action. Ms. Jackson not only passed on her commitment to social activism to her children and grandchildren. She inspired all those around her to reach out and lend a hand, said Clara Sota Ivey who, after meeting Ms. Jackson at the United Methodist Church, struck up a friendship that lasted nearly 4 decades. It was her gentleness and kindness that warmed everyone, and her passion for justice, Ms. Ivey said. When she saw something that was not fair, she worked towards changing it. She did a lot of good. Ms. Jackson is survived by her husband of 41 years, Steve Franklin Jackson; by their 5 children; by her 6 grandchildren and by her sister, Ann Hart, and her family. A memorial service for Ms. Jackson will be held on Sunday, March 17 at 3 p.m. at the Claremont United Methodist Church, 211 W. Foothill Blvd., Claremont.

Is purchasing Golden State even worth it?

by Tobias Hecht
n offering to purchase the water delivery system from Golden State Water Company for $54 million, the city of Claremont has stated that it is seeking fairness in water service and rates. These are reasonable goals. It is also true that many other municipalities successfully administer their own water. Yet there are some difficult questions to be asked.
VIEWPOINT
mont, I have had access to potable water 24 hours a day, every day. I have never had or heard of a problem in service delivery. Considering the billions of people around the world who lack access to water even undrinkable waterin their homes, it is hard to understand where the complaint about service comes in. Are the rates unfair? We do pay somewhat more than those in surrounding communities and if that is your only measure of fairness, then the rates are unfair. Yet if one stops to think that the median family income in Claremont is more than 50 percent higher than in Pomona (where the unemployment rate is nearly double ours) one can be certain that our neighbors pay considerably more, in proportion to their income, than we do. What is unfair and profoundly irresponsible about the Golden State Water rate structure is that it punishes conservation and awards waste: Those who consume the least (generally those with limited resources) subsidize the most profligate. It isnt obvious if you look at your bill, because the rates seem to go up as one consumes more water. But those who believe that are forgetting something. The water company assesses a service charge just for providing water. What it means in practice is that the first gallon of water costs us over $12. The last gallon, even for the most extravagant of consumers, costs a fraction of
First, is water expensive in Claremont? We are a family of 3. We bathe every day, wash clothing and dishes, drink and do everything else that other people do with water. Our bill has been well under $30 per month for the past 4 months, or around 33 cents per day per person. That doesnt strike me as extortion. It has been raining, so recently there has been almost no need for irrigation, but living in a semi-desert environment, sprinklers are a choice, not a necessity. One can landscape with plants that require almost no water, and more and more residents do just that. It seems reasonable that if you want a big lawn or a swimming pool that it should cost you more than 33 cents per day. It is also worth asking whether making water any cheaper than it is would even be desirable, given the scarcity of water in southern California and the environmental consequences of using it with little thought to the cost. Is service poor? As a 20-year resident of Clare-
a penny. In effect, unless you are filling an Olympicsized pool, the more you waste the cheaper the total amount of water you use becomesgallon for gallon. This is regressive and wasteful. If the citys offer is accepted, the city would pay the equivalent of more than $1500 per resident to buy Golden State Water Company (there are only 35,000 of us to put up the $54 million, the math is simple). If the purchase leads to lower ratesand of course it is possible it will nothow long will it take to amortize the investment? If my household bill were cut by onethird (which is a long shot if you look at the experience of other cities that have taken over water administration), it would require 37 years to break even on the investment of $4500 for the 3 of usand that is assuming zero inflation. Finally, we must also ask, what else could we do with $54 million? A lot. We could provide free day care for all children under 5. We could offer the best hospice service in southern California. We could give our overworked teachers a break by paying for assistants. We could even give every household that gets rid of its lawn a few thousand dollars; for most people that would cut the average summer bill by half or more, ultimately saving rate payers a lot more money than the citys plan would. We could do many things. If the city gets its wish, however, the best we will be able to do is waste a precious resource with even greater abandon. Disclaimer, I dont work for Golden State Water or know anyone who does. I have no financial ties to the company, either.

Eula Mae Maloney

Beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, friend
Eula Mae Maloney, a 40-year resident of Claremont, died on March 1, 2013. She was 91. Mrs. Maloney was born on April 6, 1921 in Spadra, California to Oscar and Zeda Glidewell. She attended Pomona High School and Pomona Junior College. In 1943, she married William Maloney, then a captain in the United States Air Force. Together, they had an amazing life, traveling the world and raising 4 daughters. When Mr. Maloney retired in 1970, Mrs. Maloney began a 17-year career with the Los Angeles County Fair, ultimately retiring as operations manager. She continued working with the Fair Association as a consultant as well as the director of communications for the Orange Show. Mrs. Maloney was committed to community service and served on many local boards, including United Way, Camp Fire Girls, the Cable Airport Association, Women's International Bowling Congress, Retired Officers Association Auxiliary, Red Hill Country Club, Friends of the Fair and the Military Officers Association of America. She remained very active throughout her life, whether traveling to visit her children, grandchildren and great-grand children all across the country for special events or holidays or out on the town with her many friends attending lunches, dinners, parties or entertainment events. She was always on the go and ready for a new adventure, according to family. It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of our mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and dear friend. We will all treasure the countless memo-
ries gathered over those many years, Mrs. Maloneys family shared. Mrs. Maloney was preceded in death by her sister Alma Glidewell, and her husband of 64 years, William R. Maloney. She is survived by her daughter Elizabeth; by her daughters and sons-in-law, Cathleen and Marcel, Karen and Jim, and Debi and Dean; and by 7 grandchildren and 5 greatgrandchildren. A Memorial Mass will be held at 10 a.m. on April 6, 2013 at Our Lady of theAssumption Church in Claremont. Mrs. Maloney will be laid to rest in a family ceremony beside Mr. Maloney in Riverside National Cemetery.

SOLAR PANELS continued from page 3
US Bank is committed to aligning our business practices and customer offerings with sustainability goals, Ms. GarrisonSprenger said. US Bank has long been a leader in renewable energy investing and we are looking forward to having our own solar generation on-site. Claremont businesses and commercial organizations are joining an energy-saving movement that has long since caught on in Claremont. In 2006, the city saw a slight jump in solar usage, coinciding with the introduction of Sustainable Claremont into the citys general plan. In 2007, numbers doubled. In 2010 Sustainable Claremont introduced the Claremont Home Energy Retrofit Project (CHERP), a collaboration of residents working with community organizations, contractors and cities to promote sustainable building practices and reduce fossil fuel use in Claremont and beyond. Since the start of the CHERP Program, the numbers continue to increase. In 2012, Claremont property owners added solar panels to 70 homes and 2 college buildings. This represents 888,000 kilowatt hours of additional renewable energy produced in the city per year, according to Chris Veirs, senior planner and sustainability coordinator. It is the citys largest single-year increase to date. Mr. Veirs attributes the jump to technological advancements, lower costs and new funding strategies, like leasing the panels. As more residents make the move,

businesses look to add their support. We hear our customers talking about how they are using solar power and we wanted to follow suit, said Ryan Hibler, manager of the US Bank on Foothill. Not only is it great for the environment, but it will help us save money in the long run. The reaction has been very positive so far. The local US banking branch isnt the only local business heeding the residential call to go solar. The Claremont United Church of Christ is also currently in the process of installing 200 panels as part of
a $190,000 solar project spearheaded by a church solar committee. The church expects to see a savings of $25,000 a year on their energy bill with the use of solar panels, according to Tom Helliwell, CUCC parishioner and chair of the churchs solar committee. Part of the reason for the move stems from the churchs desire to save money for use in programing and other important services. We have to wean ourselves away from fossil fuels, Mr. Helliwell said. We cant do it all at once, but we can contribute,
using alternative means of energy whenever we can. The CUCC solar committee has been at work since December 2011, petitioning the congregation to support the solar cause. Parishioners answered the call heartily. Though a portion of the $190,000 sum has been borrowed, the churchs congregation has provided most of the money. The congregation been extremely supportive of this. Ive been very encouraged by both the moral and financial support to this project. The main problem with the introduction of solar remains in blending the new with the old. It isnt easy to meld the bulky solar panels with the historic architecture and character residents have come to expect in Claremont. The city is limited in what it can do, says Mr. Veirs, as state law prohibits much meddling for aesthetic reasons. While Mr. Veirs said he was initially concerned with adding the paneling to the US Bank, a beloved historical building, he is grateful that the company has worked with the city to ensure the panels blend, adding shade structures and using paint to match the existing structure. Continuing to make sure new technologies blend with Claremonts old-town charm will be a work in progress for the city as people embrace energy-efficient advancements. Its a challenge they take in stride, pleased to see the sustainability goals of the city master plan moved into action. Its a work in progress, Mr. Veirs said. Beth Hartnett

Geena Davis uses celebrity to crusade for womens rights
f we want to shrink the gender gap in todays media, life needs to intimate art, said Academy Award-winning actor and womens advocate Geena Davis at Garrison Theater last Thursday.
Its a cause Ms. Davis works tirelessly for as the founder of The Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media, as well as in her roles as chair of the California Commission on the Status of Women and special envoy for women and girls in the field of technology for the United Nations. Through her dedicated crusade, Ms. Davis hopes to change the way women are represented in the media, which she believes currently stands as stereotyped and underrepresented. The key lies in combating media with media, she says. Its often found in medicine that the cure can come from the same source as the disease, and I think that media itself can be the cure for the problem that its creating, she said. We can create a different future by changing what people are seeing. I always say if they can see it, then they can be it.

Connie Q. Belmontes
Beloved mother and grandmother, avid sports fan
Connie Q. Belmontes, a longtime Claremont resident, died peacefully in her sleep at her daughters home in Upland on February 15, 2013. She was 69. Ms. Belmontes was born in Sanger, California on January 23, 1944 to Henry and Hyacinth Quintanar, the oldest daughter among 12 children. Her given name, Consuelo, was shortened to Connie, which she would go by for the rest of her life. Her family moved south when Ms. Belmontes was 2, settling in Chino, which had become a thriving agricultural enclave. As a young girl, Ms. Belmontes pitched in to help her family, picking crops and working at local dairy farms as well as helping to care for her younger siblings. By the time she was a teen, she was working as a fruit packer, boxing up oranges, lemons and grapefruit in the citrus industry that flourished throughout the region. She had moved on to work as a sales associate at Kmart when she was set up on a blind date with a co-workers brother, Louie Belmontes. They fell in love and were married soon after. In 1969, Ms. Belmontes moved with her new husband to Claremont, where they lived for the next 36 years, raising 3 children and becoming active parishioners of Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Church. Ms. Belmontes worked for a number of years in a sewing shop. Later, as a homemaker, she took pride in sewing for her family. There are a number of photo the retro crooning of Michael Bubl, and had tickets to see Barbara Streisand at the time of her death. She regularly tuned in to catch reruns of bandleader Lawrence Welks long-running TV show and once had the chance to take a photograph with Mr. Welk, a piece of memorabilia she cherished. A huge fan of sports, Ms. Belmontes also delighted in heading to games to root for her beloved Lakersparticularly Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasolas well as the Dodgers, of whom Mike Piazza was her favorite. Ms. Belmontes sometimes boasted about another celebrity encounter, the time she met Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda. Between their mothers enthusiasm for athletics and the fact that Mr. Belmontes was a baseball coach, each of their kids participated in youth sports. Ms. Belmontes always made sure to be there at games, cheering them on. She was a fun-loving, bubbly, people person, according to family. Ms. Belmontes would be the first to admit she was a bit of a shop-aholic, but her purchases were most often made with others in mind. She regularly purchased socks and blankets to donate to homeless shelters or to the local dialysis center. She also bought countless gifts for her children and her grandchildren. They came to expect sports-themed presents, including Laker- and Dodgerthemed items ranging from hats to visors to purses and wallets. Ms. Belmontes also enjoyed quiet mo-

It meant so much to her, Ms. Belmontes daughter Irene said. She loved traveling with her husband, including trips to Washington, DC and country music haven Branson, Missouri, and was always involved in a new project. Shortly before her death, she went shopping to pick up some yarn for a blanket she planned to knit in the colors of the Virgin Mary to be raffled off by her church. She often did things like that. She was so into giving and helping people, family said. Ms. Belmontes final moments were in keeping with her life. She did some needlework, said her prayers and had laid down for a nap when her golden heart stopped beating, family shared. Ms. Belmontes is survived by her mother, Hyacinth Quintanar of Chino; by her siblings, Ben, Frank, Lydia, Alice and Annie, all of Chino; by her children, Ralph Chiappone and Grace Silva, both of Chino, and Irene Rena Chiappone of Upland; by 8 grandchildren and by 9 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, Louie Belmontes, who died in 2005.

Not long ago, she visited her great-granddaughters classroom, demonstrating for the students how to make homemade chicken soup. Ms. Belmontes greatest loves were her family and her faith. She enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and lending her soprano voice to the choir at OLA. Those were not her only enthusiasms, though. Ms. Belmontes loved music, from country tunes to opera

Operating this longtime family bakery is a real treat
ome Crust Bakery is such a Claremont fixture, it seems like its been here forever. For all intents and purposes it has, because this cozy bastion of good coffee and delectable baked goods has a decidedly venerable history.
When Larry and Sandy Feemster purchased the business in 1997, Some Crust had already been a Village staple since 1978. In fact, the Yale Avenue shop has been a bakery since 1916. Before that, it was a dry goods store founded in 1889. Those white-painted wooden shelves behind the counter, which are so familiar to the bakerys regulars, date back to the stores turn-of-the-century opening. Upon assuming ownership, Mr. Feemster, who had served for almost 2 decades as the security director for In-N-Out Burger, felt a responsibility to uphold the shops longstanding reputation for quality. Ms. Feemster was already a skilled baker, who was making specialty items for Some Crust on a part-time basis when then owner Dorothy Demke approached her to see if she was interested in buying the business. Not to be outdone, Mr. Feemster headed for the International School of Baking in Bend, Oregon for a crash course on artisan baking. There, he acquired more than the ability to turn flour, milk and eggs into a bit of oven-warmed heaven. Mr. Feemster acquired a philosophy: If you focus on using the highest-quality ingredients available, and take the time to perfect your recipes, the end product is bound to be outstanding. While in recent times Some Crust has introduced diet-conscious items like gluten-free cookies in response to customer requests, the bakery is no health food store. Their concoctions feature cream instead of skim milk, and lots and lots of butter. It is, however, an establishment with a fiercely loyal clientele and a decidedly continental flavor. A number of patrons have remarked that Some Crust has the best pastries you can get outside of Europe, and that its croissants, in particular, rival those made in France. Were very busy, but were busy because we dont cut corners, Mr. Feemster said. It costs me a lot to make things the way we do, but we dont want to turn off our customers, so we ride out the price increases. Mr. and Ms. Feemsters success is based on a winning formula. They kept the elements that originally

made Some Crust popular, like quality bread and favorite offerings like chocolate chip cookies and snickerdoodles, but they also introduced some much-needed changes. Ms. Demke operated the space next door to the bakery as a teashop, which wasnt actively frequented. The Feemsters turned the teashop into a down-to-earth caf where customers could sit down and have a sandwich with some soup or salad as well as opting for a sweet treat. The caf has become a sort of headquarters for many Village regulars, including students and staff of the Claremont Colleges. There are many professors who just about live there, Mr. Feemster joked. The Feemsters have also, over the years, introduced a greater level of business-mindedness and discipline to their staff. While there are still many musicians and artists working behind the counters of Some Crust, eccentricity and the occasional hint of self-indulgence has been replaced with top-notch customer service, ac-
cording to the Feemsters son, Scott. In recent years, Ms. Feemster has moved away from the day-to-day operations of the business, but Some Crust remains very much a family affair. Some 3 years ago, Scott joined the business as its general manager, a title he shares with 25-year Some Crust veteran Jack Housen, who also happens to be one of his best friends. They attended high school together and, after decades of friendship and years of working with the older Mr. Feemster, Mr. Housen has become like a second brother to Scott. Some Crusts coffee alone has a magnetic pull on java junkies looking for a strong cup of joe with fair trade credentials. They brew coffee by Monkey and Son, a company founded by Thom Fuhrmann, a former Some Crust employee. Another element that helps maintain a devoted army of regular Crusties is that, while Some Crust continMOM &POP: SOMECRUST continues on the next page

ues to make popular standbys, they introduce new delicacies every year. Mr. Housen helped develop the bakerys mocha cookie, for instance, which is one of the most in-demand treats on Some Crusts shelves. Mr. Feemster introduced egg sliders a while back and, as the saying goes, they sell like hotcakes, especially among Claremont Colleges students. One of Scotts claims to fame is a maple scone. Mr. Scott was in the high desert when, beset by a fit of coffee withdrawal, he made a rare foray into Starbucks. He noticed a maple scone on their shelves and, since he
CHS
loves the taste of maple, he decided to give it a try. After a few bites, he tossed aside the scone, which he says was remarkably dry and tasteless. He was inspired by the idea, though, and, after hours of experimentation, created a sweet and moist facsimile to add to Some Crusts offerings. Scott, who worked for years in retail, including as a manager and buyer at record stores like Rhino Records and Amoeba, is no stranger to running a business. It is not until he returned to his roots, however, and began working with his father that he realized how rewarding it can be. Ive worked jobs where Im running, running and Im beat at the end of the day. You get your paycheck and kind of go, Ugh, he said. But working with my dad and my family, even when Ive had really rough daysand I do tend to work pretty long hoursits a different kind of feeling. I feel like Im contributing to my family. There are things you might not know about Some Crust. Ironically, the elder Mr. Feemster doesnt have much of a sweet tooth. And there are many customers

and employees who are convinced that benevolent, though mischievous, spirit haunts the old building. For the most part, however, the Feemsters and their business are like an open book. They love being a part of the Claremont community, and take endless pride in what they do. Not long ago, I was outside doing maintenance work when a van pulled up and a disabled person in a wheelchair came outshe was missing a couple of limbs, Mr. Feemster recalled. I heard her say, This is the best bakery in the world. What a wonderful thing to hear from a person. Some Crust Bakery is located at 119 Yale Ave. in Claremont. Those who are out of town will be delighted to hear that you can order their baked goods online as well as in their brick-and-mortar storefront.

Longtime officers are promoted for outstanding service
he good news keeps coming for the Claremont Police Department. In recent months Claremonts budget success and grant funding has allowed the local police department the ability to add to its ranks.
First, with the addition of a four-legged staff member named Dodger, a one-year-old British Labrador trained to identify narcotics. He is now the trusty partner of Officer Sean Evans, following him around to local schools and assisting in drug searches around the city. Last month, officers began the search for a parttime, $32,500-a-year police detective with the approval of the Claremont City Council. On the heels of these successes, Claremont police have another reason to celebrate. Last week as 7 longtime Claremont policemen were honored with promotions totaling a pay increase of $23,364 a year, according to Finance Director Adam Pirrie.
Officers Sean Evans and David Hardin were promoted to corporals, Detective David De Metz to sergeant and Sergeants Jason Walters and Aaron Fate to lieutenants. The promotions will POLICE fill existing department vacancies, according to Claremont Chief of Police Paul Cooper. NEWS In 2010 the police department was forced to cut 6 officer positions with an additional post cut in 2011 as the city struggled with budget cuts. Though the number of police officers in the Claremont force is still below the 2009 total, Chief Cooper is encouraged by the citys continued commitment to public safety as the budget returns to good health. I am pleased whenever we can add tools to the police department to enhance our effectiveness and the services we provide the community, Chief Cooper said. While these have and continue to be challenging economic times, the impacts of Realignment are being felt throughout the region and my hope is these tools and the partnership we share with the commu-
nity will be an equalizer. The Police Commission meeting was crammed with friends, family and community members in attendance in support of the local police force (though some may also chalk up the high attendance to Dodger the drug dogs special appearance in support of his partner). The promoted servicemen have given a total of over 50 years of service to the city of Claremont. Lt. Walters leads the pack of promotees with 15 years at the Claremont Police Department with hardly an area of enforcement he hasnt had a part in. He was selected as the departments Police Officer of the Year in 2004 and the Supervisor of the Year in 2012. He is also the recipient of the Police Departments Medal of Excellence. Lt. Fate came to the Claremont Police Department 14 years ago as the highest-ranked recruit in his class from the San Bernardino Sheriffs Academy. He continues to rank at CPD, the recipient of the Police Commissions Distinguished Service Medal, the City

Managers Award of Excellence, and the Police Department Medal of Excellence. Lt. Fate was also selected as the departments Police Officer of the Year
in 2006. Sgt. De Metz, an 8-year veteran of the Claremont police force, currently serves the city in the CPDs Investigations Bureau, in addition to working patrol and as a field training officer. He
was honored as Police Officer of the Year in 2009. Corporal Hardin, who currently works as a traffic officer, followed suit as Police Officer of the Year in 2010. The 10-year Claremont police veteran notably authored 2 competitive Alcohol Beverage Control grants focused on education and enforcement of alcohol regulations and preventing the illegal purchase and use of alcohol by minors. Now with Dodger by his side, Corporal Evans, an 8-year police department veteran, continues to serve the city as the local DARE officer. Before his time with the Claremont police, he served 2 years with the San Bernardino School Police Department and with the United States Marines for 7 years. He was recognized as Claremonts Police
Officer of the Year in 2008. In addition to recognizing its promoted officers, the department took time to honor a few more of its own for exemplary service. Corporals Russell Haynes and Brian Thompson were awarded the departments Lifesaving Award for coming to the aid of a Claremont man found unresponsive last Christmas. The officers performed CPR and shocked the victim 3 times with an external defibrillator prior to the arrival of fire department paramedics, according to Chief Cooper. The man made a full recovery and was in attendance at the meeting to add his cheers to the resounding applause.

Folk Music Festival boasts vibrant lineup, new venue

The annual event, set for Saturday, June 15, 2013, will feature a picturesque new setting and some heavyhitting performers, including Henry Rollins, David Lindley and Leon Mobley. Were very excited about this years festival because we get to team up with the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, which is such a beautiful venue and is also a great cause, Folk Music Center manager Ellen Chase-Verdries said. The natural environment of the local botanic garden, which showcases California native plants, is the perfect backdrop for folk music, Ms. ChaseVerdries noted. There is another benefit to the relocation of the all-day event, which has been held at Sycamore Elementary School in recent years: Beer will be offered by Dale Bros. Brewery and Claremont Craft Ales. The festival, which runs from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., will also feature vendors selling wares such as jewelry, candles, bath products, vintage prints and posters, blown glass, mosaic art and handmade instruments. Along with live entertainment, garden tours and a drum circle lead by the Wahlbangers, guests may join a variety of workshops, including African drumming with Leon Mobley, cajon drumming with Homero Chavez, songwriting with Rick Shea, European and American folk songs with VOCO and Gypsy guitar with Gonzalo Bergara. Other workshops include ukulele with Janet Klein and Ian Whitcomb, didgeridoo with Steve Goode, protest songs with Ross Altman, harmonica with Kevin Marin plus tutorials in puppeteering, mosaic-making and creating succulent planters. This years performers are a particularly varied and talented group, according to Ms. Ellen Chase-Verdries. Read on for a rundown of whos on tap.

Lady Wolfpack softball blanked by La Habra, 5-0
laremont continued its 2013 softball season on Monday after a week off, with newly promoted head coach Vince Hernandez and a young team hoping to get back to winning ways in the Charter Oak Tournament at Big League Dreams West Covina. The Wolfpack struggled to put bat to ball, and their frustration reflected itself in a 5-0 loss to La Habra.
Looking at early season results, it is apparent that Coach Hernandez has turned the team around following a mediocre 6-18 overall campaign for Claremont in 2012, We have been solid in the last few games. I have few complaints about out defense, and once our hitting comes around we will be a solid team, he said. Indeed, the Lady Wolfpack won their first 3 games of the season, and came into the game against the La Habra Highlanders with a 4-3 record. However, in the last 5 games the Pack have averaged just over 2 runs. The Highlanders, meanwhile, have had few problems manufacturing runs. La Habra possessed a 5-2 record coming into the Charter Oak Tournament. Claremont ran into trouble in the bottom of the first inning. With a runner on base, La Habras Racquel Manzo lined a base hit into right field, and came all the way in to score after a Wolfpack fielding error. Claremont right-handed hurler Rosalie Keirns settled into the game after this, retiring 8 out of the next 9 hitters. Keirns induced 4 straight ground balls to shortstop Melanie Lauer, who fielded each short-hop with ease. On the flip side of the coin, Highlander righty Vanessa Ciocatto was almost unhittable. Ciocatto allowed only 3 hits to Wolfpack batters all game, retiring 14 Claremont hitters in a row after allowing a leadoff hit by second baseman Kiana Moreno. Coach Hernandez commented on his teams lack of offense. This is the third game where we have let the other pitcher strike us out at least 6 times. I need to work with the girls more in the cages to get more aggressive at the plate. La Habra did not add to the 2-0 lead until the fourth inning. Highlander first baseman Amanda Akles led off the fourth by cracking an outside pitch deep into center field for a double. With one out, La Habra shortstop Taylor Pierce brought Akles home with a RBI single. Moreno ended the inning when she chased down a shallow fly ball, making a nice running catch to her left. The Highlanders added 2 more runs in the fifth, as Keirns began to show signs of faGIRLS SOFTBALL continues on the next page

Coaches look forward to promising seasons

Claremont High School
BOYS VOLLEYBALL The Wolfpack have charged forward this season under 15-year head coach Bernie Wendling. We have a strong sense of urgency this year to win the Sierra League, he said. We are a senior-heavy team. Claremont boys volleyball finished 111 and co-champions last year, falling in the second round of CIF. This year, kill leader Stephen Zetterberg and captain Lane Giammalva hope to repeat as champions, with the help of veterans Stan Reeder and Hunter McIntyre. The Pack finished second in the Mayfair Tournament and third in the Foothill Tournament, and will feature in the Edison Tournament this weekend. GIRLS TRACK AND FIELD Girls track and field will look to make it 3 Sierra League championships in a row when the season continues this weekend, at the Nicholson Relays in Norco. Jose Ancona is in his sixth year as head coach, and hopes to build a team that takes a systematic approach to meets and practices. We want to make sure the athletes are well-prepared for their events. They must make sure to do a proper warm up and cool down, understand the meet schedule, and prepare mentally for what they need to do. The Lady Wolfpack won their first 2 meets against La Salle and Arroyo Valley, featuring a dual-threat sprinting and distance racing team. BOYS TRACK AND FIELD On the boys side of track and field, longtime head coach Veronica Amarasekara looks to improve on her teams third place Sierra League finish last season. Coach Amarasekara stressed the importance of staying healthy. I want us to have a balanced season, to keep everyone healthy, and to qualify as many athletes to CIF as possible. We had one CIF champion graduate, but we have a number of athletes that hope to emulate him. Claremont has 15 captains that help organize and prepare the team for individual success. The Wolfpack are fresh off of a preseason tri-meet and the Claremont Novice Trials for first year athletes, and will race in the Nicholson Relays this weekend. BOYS TENNIS Claremont boys tennis has brought in a new coach this year to continue its storied program. Clint Rees hopes to bring yet another Sierra League title home by forgoing the rebuilding year Claremont was expected to have. I have been experimenting with different doubles combinations, and we have 3 starting freshmen on the team. I am confident we will win another title and do better than the second round CIF loss last year. The Wolfpack will look to brothers Alan and Andrew Leahy to sweep their singles matches each time round, and hope to develop at least 2 doubles pairings who have chemistry on the court. Claremont has played 3 preseason matches, and host Palm Springs in a tune-up match before heading into league play next week.

tigue. Rosalie has great stuff, but we need to cut down on the 5 walks if we want to win more games. We also hit a couple of batters today, and that allowed them to score those last runs, Coach Hernandez noted. La Habras Ciocatto finished the game with an impressive 7 strikeouts, 3 of them by called third strike. Moreno had 2 hits for 3 at-bats, and outfielder Ashley Waller had Claremonts third hit of the game. The Highlanders produced their 5 runs from 6 base hits and 2 Pack fielding errors. Coach Hernandez had a number of takeaways from the day. We have a really young team, and so my job is to build a new program, he said. I have some ladies that have come back to play for me after taking a year away from softball, so I hope that speaks well for my philosophy of coaching. The girls are a positive group and all they want to do is improve their game. Following this tournament, Claremont will have a long break before the next game as spring break is fast approaching. The Wolfpack travel to South Hills on Tuesday, April 9 at 3:30 p.m. for their first league game of the season. This will be Claremonts barometer game, as the Huskies have only lost 2 of their 9 games thus far. Chris Oakley

FLYING HIGH More information came in regarding the plane crash of 1936, although the year of the crash may be under question. Margaret Burgess Cooke shared: I think, at that time, the Hawkins family lived there. It crashed into the gazebo in the backyard of 132 W. 12th Street. The 2 people in the plane were college students. My parents said they had had too much to drink! The fire department was worried that the plane would catch fire and so they buried the gasoline in our backyard. We lived next door, but, unfortunately, I was at my piano lesson and did not see it happen. The firemen were just finishing getting rid of the gasoline when I arrived home. Bud Weisbrod followed up this week to express the impact of witnessing the crash. I was interested in airplanes, even at that age, and eventually became a pilot and flight instructor in single and multiengine planes, seaplanes and gliders. Even ran a flight school in Hawaii for a couple of years. Im an industrial engineer, Oregon State 1955, and have been married for over 58 years to my won-
derful wife, who is also a pilot. I proposed to her in a tailspin in a Piper Cub, spinning straight down, just like the plane I had seen crash some 16 years earlier. But I didnt crashand she said yes. THERES NO PLACE LIKE HOME The COURIER received a most scornful email this week with the subject line, Disgusting message spread at local festival. In it, the writer blasts Claremont for defending sexual assault and promoting a rape culture. I was appalled to see that the Soundwave Festival held in Claremont over the weekend allowed such disgusting T-shirts to be sold at their otherwise fine festival, she wrote in reference to the sale of a collection of T-shirts emblazoned with unsavory comments about women. The Soundwave Festival didnt ring a bell with newsroom staff. After a request for more information, the woman responded, Sorry, wrong Claremont! My apologies. Claremont, Australia.

MAKING A SPLASH Golden State Water Company launched a project to replace approximately 1300 feet of aging pipeline in Claremont as part of an infrastructure improvement. The new pipeline, according to Golden State, will reduce the risk of leaks and improve water flow for customers locally. Theres no mention of what, if any, impact these improvements will have on residents water bills. MONEY MATTERS Los Angeles County will receive $3.6 million from the city of Claremont as part of a mandate by the Department of Finance, according to City Manager Tony Ramos latest city update. Mr. Ramos explains that the payment is a requirement of the states elimination of redevelopment and the seizure of local redevelopment funds to balance the state budget. A bulk of the fee,
about $2.9 million, had been given to the citys former Redevelopment Agency for economic and redevelopment, with $673,479 for the creation of affordable housing. Anticipating the payment, city officials incorporated the amount into the citys budget. In other city finance news, Mr. Ramos reported that the California Department of Finance rescinded its claim that any profits received from the citys Base Line Road property and its purcase agreement with City Ventures, LLC was to be shared with the DOF. Mr. Ramos and his team flew to Sacramento last month and successfully defeated the DOFs grab at the cash. The property will remain a housing asset of the city, as will the proceeds from its sale. Had the final determination not been in the citys favor, Mr. Ramos noted, it is likely that the property would have been subject to disposition and the proceeds turned over to Los Angeles County for distribution to taxing entities.

Absolutely very professional. Smoothest transaction I have ever experienced when comparing to any other large purchases I have ever made. Mason has really raised the bar for me to evaluate any other customer service in any field. He is very knowledgeable, has great rapport and was absolutely on top of [every step]. I had some very tight deadlines in purchasing my home and I feel very fortunate that I came across Mason as I consider him an integral part of why I was able to meet my purchase goals and deadlines. My parents are now considering moving into the area and of course, this is a no-brainer, they will call Mason when they are ready.
