Outsourcing of trash collection
Dear Editor: We are writing to urge the Claremont City Council to abandon their efforts to privatize the trash collection service in Claremont. It seems that every service that gets outsourced (with the possible exception of the fire department), goes downhill in quality. In a city like Claremont, where we pride ourselves on being on the leading edge of sustainability, the last thing we should be thinking about doing is turning our trash and recycling over to an outside company,

Cruise night is good for business

Dear Editor: I just have to sit back and laugh at the article Parking issues put dent in cruise night and putting in the article party. I think thats part of the citys problem, its not a party. You give off the wrong impression and now people think its a bunch of hoodlums coming to the city to drink and party. I walked the city tonight and looked at some of the businesses in town and they close at 6 p.m. on Saturdays !!!! And these are the people complaining? And the comment we lose a whole days worth of business is wrong. The cruise night starts at 5 p.m., so technically youre losing an hour of business but regardless cars really dont load in until 5:30 and 6 p.m. There are a few that park in front of Starbucks that arrive about 3 p.m. But what I dont get is why the business owners dont stay open to take advantage of the people who are here. To me this is a no brainier. You have people coming from all over southern California to our town who might not come here, but you all lock your doors and run away!
How about this for a change? Keep your doors open for an extra hour or 2 and draw the people into your business. As a resident of Claremont for 49 years, I will help you draw people in, so please call me and I would love to sit down and help you take advantage of this (free of charge, of course). Come inside a free coffee or hand out samples or coupons. Think outside the box, people. Why in the world would you not want people to come here and the business that it brings? It is one night a month. And I think Mr. Ramos should also take a walk through the city and see what time the salons and boutiques close. Thats why they dont benefit. Also I dont think anybody remembers that we do have parking structures that basically sit empty on Saturdays, and a little walking is good after a good meal. We have the Wine Walk, we have the Village Venture, we have the little farmers market (they do close the street for the farmers market) and we have had cruise night for the past 15 years and Sandy has had no support but she continuous to do this on her own with no help from anyone.

about how to fix our schools, we cannot let teachers become the scapegoats. Teachers are the ones working to offset the larger societal problems created by poverty, second language acquisition, parental apathy, and they are doing this within an atmosphere of budget cuts and voter/taxpayer/public indifference and/or disrespect.

Dont be taken in
Dear Editor: The Republican Party of 2010 has taken on a decidedly more libertarian look. We hear the constant drone of how government is evil, that the founding fathers favored limited government and that individual freedom is threatened by tryanny. Dont let yourself be fooled. What this is really about is having voters, especially those of the middle class, vote against their own interests and give more power to the wealthy. Republicans feign surprise when President Obama has followed through on his campaign promises and argue that individual freedom is lost through the passage of bills like the health care bill. Elections have consequences, and we the people voted for those who are in office now. Majority rule does not equate tyranny. The courts holding for the rule of law and those rights protected under the Constitution are doing their job. If we do not like the outcome that does not mean we are under tyrannical rule. What would less government look like? Do we want to return to the day when there was no inspection of food, and
Scapegoating teachers
Dear Editor: Last night, Meg Whitman left a recorded message on my phone endorsing the film, Waiting for Superman. She called it a must-see film for fixing education in California. I assume that means she advocates privatizing public education, busting teacher unions so that benefits and pensions are compromised, using standardized tests with all of their limitations to assess student progress and teacher effectiveness, as well as instituting the divisive practice of teacher merit pay based on test scores. No matter where the discussion goes
new drugs were not tested to see if they met certain safety standards? Do we want to return to the day when our air was polluted and the air we breathed was a clear and present danger to our health? What do we want from our government other than it be more efficient and less wasteful? You don't throw the baby out with the bath water. The private sector is no panacea either. Countrywide Financial, Enron, and the list goes on, are examples of greed gone wild. But we hear now that one of the solutions to our problems is less regulation. Are you kidding me? That is like some person who likes pain saying kick me again. Do we really think big business and banks are to be trusted? I personally meet in my business people who depend entirely on their Social Security for their retirement income. I find it unconscionable that there are people running for the Senate today who in their heart of hearts want to get rid of Social Security. This mind set that altruism is bad and it is all about me, disgusts me. Perhaps it sounds really nice to believe that the age of the rugged individual still exists. But sorry, unless you live in Alaska where they hunt from helicopters, we all depend on each other to survive. Man does not live on an island. If you really want government to be responsive to the people, take the corrupting influence of money out of politics. In the meantime, dont buy the soap just because of the color. Demand from our electeds more competence and efficiency. Dont tread on me, sounds nice but arent we saying just let us do whatever we please without any consequences?

Gold Line extension through Claremont a definite maybe
he Gold Line wont be running through Claremont until at least 2017 due to delays in environmental reports and lack of funding sources, according to city officials.
On Tuesday night, the Planning Commission was given an update on the future of the Gold Line Foothill extension and the work that remains to be done before the light rail line becomes a reality. Funding has already been secured and approved for Phase 2A of the Gold Line extension and construction is underway. Phase 2A will extend the Metro Gold Line from its current terminus in East Pasadena, adding stations in Arcadia, Monrovia, Duarte, Irwindale and Azusa. City Manager Jeff Parker said that portion of the extension could be finished as early as 2013. The total cost of Phases 2A and 2B of the Foothill Extension is estimated to be $1.2 billion. The majority of the funding is anticipated to come from Los Angeles Countys Measure R sales tax, which went into effect in July 2009. Phase 2B, from Azusa to Montclair, with stops in Glendora, San Dimas, La Verne, Pomona and Claremont, still has no guaranteed funding and requires fur-

ther environmental testing. In March 2010, the Metro Board of Directors approved the allocation of $810 million to the project between 2010 and 2019. But a majority of the funds have been earmarked for Phase 2A, which is estimated to cost $690 million. Another $6 million was approved for environmental and planning work for Phase 2B. Assuming that Phase 2A comes either at or under budget ... there will be funding leftover to begin Phase 2B, assistant to the city manager Colin Tudor said. But theres still about a $300 million shortfall. Besides a lack of clear funding, Phase 2B of the extension still needs environmental testing to be completed. Because of the delays, scoping meetings to allow public input in the remaining cities have been pushed back until January or February 2011. Claremont has volunteered to host a scoping meeting for the communities of Claremont and Montclair. The meeting will offer a chance for the public at large to comment directly to Gold Line staff and consultants regarding the design and nature of the project alignment through Claremont. Following the public input process, the draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) will be released and will be considered by the citys Planning and Traffic and Trans-
portation commissions. The EIR review process is expected to run between May and July 2011. The city anticipates the environmental review process to last through April 2012. If the environmental review moves forward as planned and more funding becomes available, the Gold Line Foothill Extension through Montclair could be completed by 2017, Mr. Tudor said. City officials are hopeful that new funding options become available over the next 2 years in order for Claremonts portion of the Foothill extension to move forward in a timely manner. If Phase 2A is completed on time and under budget, that would be a great time to talk to our congressmen to try to secure more federal funding, Mr. Parker said. But he added that federal New Starts funds are not available for Phase 2B of the project. Earlier this month, the city council approved location and design plans for new platforms for the Gold Line and the Metrolink to be built adjacent to the Claremont Depot, just west of College Avenue. The approved plans will allow the Gold Line Foothill Extension Construction Authority to move forward on the environmental impact reports required of the project. Tony Krickl

Parents relay strong messages on variety of issues

trict. He also said the district is taking measures to prevent similar problems in the future. At Oakmont, and all our schools, safety is our ultimate concern, Dr. Nichols said. Thats why were going through the policiesto ensure student safety. CUSD Director of Student Services Mike Bateman also mirrored the superintendents comments on ensuring student safety and said the district cannot share specifics regarding student discipline because of student confidentiality laws. Regarding Measure CL, a new resident of Claremont, Mr. Ferrell, shared his concern with the board on the lack of information concerning the proposed $95 million bond. He stated that the lack of specific information on projects gives people against the bond good reason to question the measure. This gives your opponents the ability to challenge you, Mr. Ferrell said to the board. You need to have specific projects, the cost of the projects and the timelines. The method that has been used so far, honestly, is pitiful. If you presented this to a bank, the lender would laugh you out of the office. I believe you can do better. You can make it right and be transparent. If the bond passes, I request that not a dime of the money be spent until you place a set of [specific] projects before taxpayers. Board President Hilary LaConte referred Mr. Ferrell to the Committee to Support Claremont Schools website for more information. District receives share of federal funds CUSD has an extra $1.2 million in its possession after receiving its share from the Education Jobs Funds. Superintendent Nichols made the announcement stating that funds would be used toward education jobs in the district. Along with funding salaries for education related employment, the funds can be used to cancel out furlough days and add school days back on the calendar. The funds cannot be used to establish or supplement rainy day funds, reduce or retire state debt, or supplant state funds to either supplement a rainy day fund or retire state debt. California Lieutenant Governor Abel Maldonado signed the bill into law on September 10 while Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger was in Asia. With the bill passed, the California Department of Education has allocated $1.2 billion from the federal Education Jobs Fund to help save an estimated 16,500 education jobs. Accountability report shows mixed results CUSD rose one point in its Academic Performance Index score from last year but still may be one year away from Program Improvement due to not meeting all of its
Ms. Lang told the board about her attempt during the summer to contact both CUSD Superintendent Terry Nichols and Assistant Superintendent of Business Services Lisa Shoemaker about fundraising ideas for the district. She said neither of them followed up with her. The CUSD parent then suggested the district write grants to different companies for money and urged the district to stop repeatedly going to the community for money. Ms. Lang then took out an envelope and requested that Ms. Shoemaker put $25 inside for her son. Ive written Gerber, Kelloggs, Home Depot, Walmart, Nike and Sony, Ms. Lang explained to the board. Subway wrote me a check. The school board and the PFAs need to learn how to write grants. Ms. Shoemaker responded to the COURIER on Friday morning regarding Thursdays public comments. She believes Ms. Lang has misunderstood an answer she provided to a question regarding Measure CL. Ms. Lang was commenting about my quote regarding fundraising, Ms. Shoemaker said. That was my response to a query about how the bond campaign would be financed. It is financed through donations from a lot of sources. The district isnt allowed to spend taxpayer money on the campaign. On another issue, Ms. Pennington has had 2 children who have allegedly been physically attacked by a 9-yearold female student at Oakmont Outdoor School. She said her daughter was attacked twice last year and her son in early September. One of the mothers first concerns was that she didnt know what had happened to her son until he came home from school that day. I wasnt notified [about the incident] until my son came home from school [and I saw him], Ms. Pennington said. He was kicked below the waist and stabbed in the hand with a pencil. I have notarized statements by 12 students who were attacked last year by the same studentmy daughter being one of them. Should my childs blood be on your hands before this is addressed? My son is emotionally damaged and has even been intimidated by the childs father. Claremont High School teacher Tom Larson is the girls father. In a previous interview with the COURIER, Mr. Larson said his daughters actions are in response to being bullied. Superintendent Nichols responded to Ms. Pennington and told her that student safety is a top priority for the dis-
Academic Yearly Progress targets, according to a report by Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services Bonnie Bell on Thursday. The district increased from a 2009 base API score of 818 to a 2010 growth score of 819 this past school year. The national API target is 800. Other district highlights were in areas such as the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) with an average score of 1632, the ACT (24.2 composite average) and International Baccalaureate (86 percent passing with 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7). The SAT results featured a 12-point increase from 200809 and the ACT composite average was .3 points higher than last year. Though the district met its yearly targets for EnglishLanguage Arts (ELA) and Mathematics, CUSD had multiple subgroups fail to meet the target in one or both areas. English Learners and students with disabilities did not reach the target in either ELA or math. African American, Hispanic and Socioeconomically Disadvantaged students also had proficiency rates below the mandated target. Even with its improvements among 3 other subgroups from 2008-09, Oakmont was placed in Program Improvement this year because its Socioeconomically Disadvantaged subgroup did not meet its math targets for 2 consecutive years in 2009-10. Sumner Elementary was placed on a watch list due to its Socioeconomically Disadvantaged (ELA and math) and English Learners (math) groups not reaching target proficiency. Ms. Bell went on to say that grade span data from grades 2 through 10 also indicates a lack of math proficiency with secondary level math being a challenging area for the district. At Claremont High, General Math, Algebra I, Geometry and Algebra II proficiency is below the AYP targets with none of the 4 groups reaching even 30 percent. Im concerned about the math scores and it seems like our other plans havent been working, said CUSD board member Jeff Stark. I want to know if we have a plan for that. The report concluded with Ms. Bell announcing that the district will analyze the data, identify strengths in order to replicate the successful practices, identify and prioritize areas of need and develop action plans. Superintendent Nichols noted the targets do not stay the same year-after-year. One of the things we must remind ourselves is that there is a 10 percent increase every year [in AYP targets], he said. Chaparral, Condit, Mountain View, Sycamore and Vista del Valle Elementary Schools met all of their AYP targets for 2010.

Claremonter pleads guilty on weapons charges
laremont resident Joseph OToole, 79, plead guilty on Tuesday to charges he and a co-conspirator attempted to export weapons to Somalia without a government license.
Mr. OToole, a retired Air Force colonel, could be facing 5 years in federal prison and a fine up to $250,000 for the illicit activity. His sentencing is scheduled for Tuesday, December 14 in U.S. District Court in Fort Lauderdale. As part of his plea bargain, 4 other counts against him relating to money laundering and illegal weapons exporting were dropped. Mr. OToole has been in custody since his arrest in June by customs agents in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. As-
sistant U.S. Attorney Michael Walleisa of the Southern District of Florida prosecuted his case. According to his original indictment and plea agreement, Mr. OToole and Israeli defense consultant Chanoch Miller, 53, conspired to obtain and distribute 6000 AK-47s to Somalia using false end user certificates. A UN arms embargo has been in place against Somalia since 1992. The plan was uncovered when the mens contact for the deal turned out to be an undercover agent for the U.S. Customs and Immigrations Enforcement Agency. The indictment states the men communicated through email and phone calls about payment and flight plans for the weapons operation with the undercover agent beginning in April. Mr. OToole was previously accused of involvement in the Iran Contra scandal back in 1989. Federal prose-
cutors charged him with trying to sell military weapons to Iran and another undisclosed country. But the case against Mr. OToole was dropped due to lack of credibility of 2 customs agents involved in the deal, according to news reports. Mr. OToole hired H. Dean Steward to defend him in the case. Mr. Steward, who served as Mr. OTooles federal public defender in the 1989 case, could not be reached for comment. Over the years, Mr. OToole has been active in local politics. In 1997, he ran unsuccessfully for a seat on the city council and has been an outspoken critic of the citys proposed affordable housing project on Base Line Road. He was a board member of the group Citizens for the American Dream that was formed to oppose the Base Line project.

Going on a treasure hunt

by Jan Wheatcroft
his day began with an early morning drive to a Pomona Church Sale which turned out to be next week. Church sales can end up to be great places to uncover treasures that have been donated to help raise money for the church. As there was no sale, we went to an antique mall instead.
lady or the man with the old and odd tools, or old books and photos. On the other side of this narrow street are booths with more stuff, ethnic pieces from Africa, old glass and silverware and vintage dolls and toys, to name a few. I could spend hours nosing and poking about, however, there is a catch. So could everyone else in London that day. It is so popular that the stream of people coming down from the underground train clogs the road. The babel of languages is great fun to listen to but the pushing and shoving makes it difficult to see most of what is on offer. Ive even had my backpack opened by someone and I was totally unaware of it. But, no matter, I still mark off one Saturday morning and chug on down to join the throng and find my treasures as I am a good hunter and know what I like. At the top of the other end of the road is where people plop their goods out on tables on on the street. There are good shops and tasty foods available as well. Middle Eastern grills are set out and the Portuguese shop at the end of the road has wonderful custard tarts which is a good way to finish off the hunting experience. My second favorite antique fair occurs every Monday at Covent Garden in a big Market Hall. It is also a quick walk from an underground station and the wooden stalls are covered and crowded with treasures set up by collectors and dealers with better prices than at Portabello and without the crowds. There are lots of small items, vintage finds, jewelry and things dug up from the Thames river which I love to paw through. England has great car boot sales. Schools and churches provide the space and the dealers drive in and set up all over and sell from the trunk (boot) of their cars. Many are just regular folk selling old family items, some
I really enjoy antique malls as each little booth belongs to a different collector and that widens the range of taste and choice and can be a fun place to browse. Looking for old things, antiques, junk, treasures and collectibles is my passion. It combines anticipation, poking about and discovery along with the found treasure. I can hunt anywhere and my friends know they can lure me out with just the slightest suggestion of a new hunting ground or a repeat performance at a favorite place. All over the world there are antique stores, flea markets, yard and garage sales, thrift shops, estate sales and church rummage sales. In England, the flea market becomes the car boot sale and thrift shops are charity shops. In Sweden this type of shopping is called Loppis. In France, the flea market is called marche aux puces. In Amsterdam I discovered wonderful organic food and flower markets paired with a healthy craft and antique market. Along with the canals and good cafes it makes for a wonderful days outing. I will share with you some of my favorite haunts. In London I always reserve a Saturday for the Portabello Road antique market. Now, Portabello is open on Fridays for fresh produce, breads, cheeses and ready made food sizzling in front of your eyes. There are also cheap clothing booths down at the bottom and some used things at the far end as well as vintage clothing and jewelry in the middle under the underpass. However, on Saturday, all of the antiques shops open for the day are rabbit warrens of tiny booths and stalls, full of glorious collectibles, jewelry, paintings, silver and so much more; most priced far beyond what I can afford, but great to browse through. Outside on the sidewalks in front of the shops are booths full of more things, like buttons from the button
are dealers but everywhere there are all sorts of delicious treasures to be found. Its nice to have a chat with people about what they are selling. A year ago in summer we went to a local car boot sale and it began to rain and then just pour down in bucketfuls and yet no one shut up shop at all. The clothes got soaked, the collectibles floated in puddles on the tables, and we were dripping wet but the search and sale went on as if nothing had changed. The Swedish Loppis sales are set up in this same manner. It is free to enter, (some English ones cost a dollar or so) and full of wonderful Scandinavian surprises that have lived many years in attics. Sadly I discovered many super pieces of furniture which I was unable to bring home with me. In Japan the antique and flea markets begin at the crack of dawn, in fact we were told to bring flashlights if we wanted to arrive while they were setting up their stalls. Many of the big sales are held in temples on specific weekends and are filled with the most exquisite treasures such as old kimonos sold be for a song along with bags full of antique indigo fabric scraps, swords, old pottery, hand painted banners of Samurai warriors and lots of collectables. This has always been the highlight of my visits to Japan. Flea marketing in Paris can be sublime. Antique stores are so expensive that I finally stopped going in to them and waited for the flea market (or brocante) sales which were much more fun. Most people are recommended to go to the biggest market in north Paris, at the Porte de Clignancourt but we chose a smaller one in the southern end called the Marche aux puces de la Porte de Vanves. It had over 350 dealers and was big enough for me to get my hunting high going and finally tire out. The selection was overwhelming. Everything was available but still I found the prices high for my pocketbook. Of course I found small items that I could afford and also carry home. This was probably the best overall selection I have ever found and as I write this I think of how much I would love to return for another chance to begin the search again. Another great hunting scene is the Estate Sale which technically is a house clearing after a family death.

Motivation? To do what?
Thursday, September 30 A home in the 500 block of Converse Avenue was burglarized. Sometime between September 25 and September 30, the home was entered through a kitchen window that was locked but forced open. Movie DVDs, a computer monitor and ceiling tiles with a total value of about $200 were stolen. Police have no leads at this time.

Measure CL to keep CUSD competitive

by Jean Collinsworth
oes your kitchen floor have vinyl squares from the Sixties that trap grime between the grids? Do you prepare food on wooden counters? And is that 21-inch, circa 1958, stove in the corner good for preparing a meal or waiting for the Antiques Roadshow?
view point
counseling office made out of a closet next to the kitchen and without any computer drop? And what about a late afternoon daycare program housed in portables with no running water? How do you send a 6-year-old out after dark to wash her hands in another building? We readily remodel our homes, which may be vacant for many hours a week, yet we balk at renovating school campuses that experience more density of use than any other locations in the city for 7 to 10 hours a day. In CUSD, that means 7100 students crammed into 600,000 square feet. To duplicate that intensity of use in my own home, Id have to have 36 people living in my 3000 square foot house. And if youve ever been a high school parent as I have, you know that your son or daughter may well spend more waking hours at CHS than at home. One facility suffering from density overuse and long overdue for renovation is the CHS theatre. On some days of the week, over 500 students use the grossly inadequate structure for classes and rehearsal. Speaking of CHS, keep in mind that when our students become seniors and apply to colleges such as Stanford, Williams or Pomona, they are competing first with private school graduates, products of costly educations, and second with public school students from states such as New Jersey, which spends at least $80,000 more on its
These are some of the facilities in the school kitchens in the Claremont district. We have cutting edge food service personnel anxious to provide our children with salad bars and home-grown food, but we lack the means to carry out their innovative plans. Sycamore students, for example, have to squeeze their way around a salad bar crammed in the corner of the school kitchen to get their lunch. How many households in Claremont would put up with these conditions? Yet food service equipment is just the beginning. How about dozens of portable classrooms, long past their shelf life, inefficiently wasting power? What about the multi-purpose rooms where staff regularly push heavy book carts in and out of buildings because school libraries share space with music, art and drama classes? Or a playground where 50 kindergartners cram into an area next to an old metal jungle gym not safe for their age? What about a parking lot that holds only one fourth of the staff cars so that teachers have to find parking on Claremonts restricted streets? How about an elementary
students by the time they graduate than does California on its students. Since we cannot alter our mediocre state allocation, the least we can do is begin to compensate by readily supporting our local bonds. Yes, the CEF grant for $303,000 is wonderful, and our yard displays its bus sign, but such grants are not going to provide the necessary outlay for capital improvements. But is now the time, with the economy hurting so profoundly, to support a major school bond? All the reasons that make it tough for us to commit November 2 also make this the propitious moment to do so. Bond interest rates are at historic lows. Construction bids are highly competitive because projects that used to see three or four bidders are now attracting ten times as many companies all battling each other to win contracts. Two years ago, neighboring districts passed bonds, Bonita for $83 million, Upland for $103 million, and Pomona for $235 million. Arcadias 2006 bond was for $218 million. Cant Claremont manage $95 million? So Im starting to put aside my 44 cents a day (based on my north Claremont assessed value) so that generations of CUSD students will benefit from safer playgrounds, healthier food service, modernized classrooms, competitive technology, and a theatre worthy of its talented students. And when a new family eventually buys our home, the parents will know their property values will remain high because theyre investing in a community that had the foresight to value the education of its youth well into the 21st century.

Dr. Nichols report also indicated that the districts general fund has decreased by $4.4 million over the past 4 years. In response to a question following his presentation, he said that Measure CL could provide up to $1 million a year toward debt throughout the life of the bond. We went through some major cuts last year and were still looking at some deficits in 3 years as far as our reserves go, Superintendent Nichols said. We do not know what the state is going to do about the budget. What seems to happen with the state is that once the money has been allocated, it doesnt always mean that you will receive it. Claremont Community Coordinating Council member Barbara Jefferson said the councils invitation to the city manager and district superintendent has been a tradition for the past several years. The annual meeting allows representatives of different segments of the community to find out what is happening in the city and the school district. Its important for this group that represents many different organizations to hear from key leaders, Mr. Jefferson said. Every year, there are different topics and areas of concern. This gets everyone off to a good start in the fall so that we know whats going on.

Marjorie B. Jaffa
Longtime Claremont resident Marjorie Butler Jaffa died on September 27, 2010 at the age of 89. Ms. Jaffa was born in Coffey, Missouri on November 19, 1920, one of 4 children born to Daniel Bertran Butler and Ella Robertson. She grew up on a small farmmore reminiscent of the 19th century than the 20thwhere she developed a strong work ethic as well as skills that she used throughout her life and passed on, such as canning, baking, gardening and sewing. Trained as a secretary, Ms. Jaffa was in the first wave of employees called to Washington DC to help staff the newly built Pentagon. On July 14, 1941 (Bastille Day), she and her future husband, Harry Jaffa, met in the dining hall of their boarding house in Washington DC. They were married

on April 25, 1942 and both worked for the federal government for several years. In 1944, they moved to New York where Mr. Jaffa earned a PhD at The New School for Social Research and Ms. Jaffa worked as a secretary in the Empire State Building. They often met for lunch at Mr. Jaffas fathers restaurant and jazz club, The Open Door, in Greenwich Village. Mr. Jaffas career as a political science professor led them first to the University of Chicago, then for 13 years to Ohio State University and, finally, in 1964, to Claremont Mens College (now Claremont McKenna) and the Claremont Graduate School (now University). Ms. Jaffa worked part-time as a secretary for CMC and full-time, in the opinion of many, as a mentor and friend of her husbands students. The 2 were well known in the cycling community for logging more than 100,000 miles on their tandem and supporting the local racing program and the college cycling team. Ms. Jaffa is survived by her husband of 68 years, Harry V. Jaffa; her 3 children, Donald Alan Jaffa, Philip Bertran Jaffa and Karen Jaffa McGoldrick; and her 3 grandchildren, Peter Anthony Jaffa, Nicholas Andrew Jaffa and Frances Karoline Maria Ella Kerstin Jaffa.

Elaine E. Saunders
business owner, estate caretaker, volunteer
Former Claremont resident Elaine Elinor Saunders died at home, surrounded by her family, on August 18, 2010 after a lengthy battle with lung disease. Born Elaine Elinor Stahlman in Pomona on November 10, 1923, Mrs. Saunders attended local public schools and graduated from Pomona High School. In 1942, she married Fiske Chapin Saunders who was born and raised in Claremont. After raising their children in Claremont from 1956 to 1964, they quenched their thirst for adventure by immigrating to Eltham, Victoria, Australia where they opened the Hilltop Milk Bar (soon known as the Yanks Place) and became popular for their American hamburgers and 25 flavors of ice cream. Their son, Lynne Saunders, and his wife accompanied them on this journey while their daughter, Melinda Saunders (now Melinda West), remained in the U.S. to further her education at San Diego State University. Lynne and his family came back to California in 1968. In 1979, Mrs. Saunders and her husband returned to the U.S., wishing to be near their children: otherwise, noted family members, surely they would have stayed. They loved their work, the property they named Soboba and the many remarkable friends they made there. Settling in Orange County, Mrs. Saunders and her husband began managing large apartment complexes in the Los Angeles area. In 1983, they started working for the Santa Catalina Island Conservancy Company, serving as caretakers for the William Wrigley, Jr. estate on Catalina Island. Retiring from this extraordinary and happy experience after a decade, they relocated to Summerlin (Las Vegas), Nevada in 1993. In Nevada, Mrs. Saunders enjoyed volunteering for the Del Webb Security Patrol and was very active with the Spring Mountain Republican Women. After her husbands death, she added volunteer duties at Mountain View Hospital. Following a difficult recovery from a hip replacement, she moved to Sunwest Village in Hemet in 2007 to be closer to her daughter, Melinda, and son, Lynne. Family and friends of Mrs. Saunders feel blessed by her cheerful attitude, quick wit, hallmark laugh and supportive friendship. She will remain in the hearts of us all. We know that her life has not ended, it has only changed. It continues forever in Gods world, a place more beautiful than our words can describe, the family expressed. Elaine is survived by her son, Lynne Saunders of Scottsdale, Arizona; her daughter, Melinda West of Hemet; her daughter-in-law, Mari T. Saunders of Racine, Wisconsin; her 4 grandchildren, Kelly Hein and her husband Brian, Meagan Trevizo and her husband Gregg, Nicole Haithcock and her husband Shane, and Eric Flourie; her great-grandchildren, Brandon, Jordon, Auston, Dalton, Julian, Isabel, Alexis and Caston; her niece, Roxanne Thornton; and her nephew, Dennis Page and his wife Marcy. She was preceded in death by her husband of 61 years, Fiske Saunders. Memorial services are pending.
Jean McGill
Services for longtime Claremont resident Jean McGill will take place at noon on Friday, October 15, 2010 at Our Lady of the Assumption Church, Claremont. Ms. McGill, a resident here from 1950 to 2004, died on October 4, 2010 at the Autumn Hills Health Care Center in Glendale. A more complete account of Ms. McGills life will be published in an upcoming edition of the COURIER.

Edith L. Cooper
artist, art instructor, quiet and sincere spirit
Claremont resident Edith L. Cooper died in the Pilgrim Place Health Services Center on October 1, 2010 after a brief illness. Born in Brockton, Massachusetts in 1914, Mrs. Cooper graduated from the Massachusetts College of Art in 1936. Throughout her life, she used her artistic talent as a freelance artist, portrait painter, illustrator and sculptor, and she exhibited her artwork in China, India and the U.S. For 20 years, Mrs. Cooper served as an art instructor at the Joslyn Senior Center. In 2003, she received the 38th Annual Older Persons Award from the city of Claremont. With her husband of 70 years, the late Richard D. Cooper, a longtime YMCA international professional, and their 2 daughters, Mrs. Cooper lived in China in 1948 and then in India for a total of 22 years. Since 1984, Mrs. Cooper resided at Pilgrim Place. For approximately 20 years, she raised money for the senior communitys Residents Health and Welfare Fund by drawing portraits for the annual Pilgrim Place Festival. Her unique sculptures of faces were also sold at the festivals pottery booth. Mrs. Cooper was an active member of the Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends, the Quakers, in Cambridge, Massachusetts; Swarthmore, Pennsylvania; Montclair, New Jersey; Scarsdale, New York; and Claremont. She contributed to the Friends in many ways, most regularly as a member of the Caring Concerns Committee. Cathy DeHaven, a fellow member of the Caring Concerns Committee, noted how welcoming and constantly supportive Mrs. Cooper was in her spiritual practice. She would always ask me, How are you?, How are you doing in your silence? said Ms. DeHaven, explaining the practice of silence as a discipline of centering down into the deepest silence possible to encounter the divine in ones self. Edith was a kind, calm presence, Ms. DeHaven continued. She and Dick were there every Sunday, always sitting in the same place, each with their beautiful, white hair. Every week Id look over, and the Coopers were there, and everything felt in place in this little Quaker world here. Friend and fellow practitioner Charleen Krueger-Pitassi shared a similar sentiment. Edith was a deeply spiritual person but also a practical person, an interesting combination. She was in tune with the spiritual environment. Very spiritually attuned, commented Ms. Krueger-Pitassi. She was very accepting of what came her way, one who bloomed where she was planted. And she loved you as you were. through being a member of the Friends, the Quakers, and she was able to express that and help us feel our closeness to God, the presence of God. Friends also noted how Mrs. Coopers spirituality came through in her artwork. Ms. Krueger-Pitassi mentioned a sculpture of Mrs. Coopers that she has which, although titled Contemplation, actually needs no title at all for observers to witness and experience the essence of the piece. Of like mind, Ms. Moore remarked, In her art, she was able to express the spirit within. Ms. Moore cherishes the special experience of apprenticing under Mrs. Cooper in the sculpture medium. She was amazing, she said. Mrs. Cooper is survived by 2 daughters, one residing Baltimore, Maryland and the other in La Verne; by 2 grandchildren, one residing in Burke, Virginia and the other in San Francisco; by her sister-in-law who resides in Gloucester, Massachusetts; by 2 nieces and one nephew, also of Gloucester; and by 2 nephews who reside in New York. She was preceded in death by her husband, Dick Cooper, in 2007. A memorial service conducted in the manner of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) will take place at 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, October 10, 2010 in Decker Hall at Pilgrim Place. Light refreshments will follow.
Pilgrim Place resident Elizabeth Moore also expressed admiration and respect for Mrs. Coopers gentle, earnest spirituality and friendship. Ms. Moore shared time with Mrs. Cooper in a close group of Pilgrim women who called themselves the Spirit Sisters. The Spirit Sisters talked openly about their personal and spiritual lives with each other, supporting one another and ending each gathering with prayer and a hug. Edith was an important part of our group, said Ms. Moore. She had this quiet spirituality that she developed

Girls tennis is on track with back-to-back wins
he Claremont High School girls tennis team was determined to rebound from 2 consecutive losses last week.
After smashing Chino Hills by a 16-2 margin on Tuesday, the Wolfpack followed up its win with a 17-1 dismantling of Charter Oak at home on Thursday to improve to 5-2 (2-2 in league) on the season. You wont play against really competitive teams all the time, but you can use these types of matches as a learning experience, said CHS coach Tom Spinosa. I think this also prepared us for our next opponent, Ayala, who recently tied St. Lucys. Claremont singles players Drew Spinosa (62, 6-0, 6-0), Cindy Liu (6-0, 6-0, 6-0) and Chelsea Edisuriya (6-1, 6-1, 6-0) all recorded sweeps for the 2nd consecutive match on Thursday. Spinosa and Liu are new additions to this years squad as freshmen players. The 2 freshmen are just one piece of what is a new era in CHS girls tennis. The team is now in the Sierra League and was bumped up a division from last year. Weve gone from Division III to Division II, Spinosa said. But I think were going to do well. The Wolfpacks doubles units found similar success against the Chargers 2 days ago. The duos of Francis Yang-Laura Santoro (6-2, 6-0, 60) and Eva Lansberry-Joyce Kim (6-4, 6-0) swept through both of their matches. Joanna Wang and Madison Weigand (6-3, 5-7) split their 2 matches while the teams of Lansberry-Natalie
Regan (6-3) and Lauren Garcia-Annie Nguyeh (6-1) won in their lone appearances as units. This years team consists of mainly sophomores with Yang being the teams only senior. Yet Weigand said her team has plenty of potential. Last year, we had a lot of freshmen and this year its a lot of sophomores, but were doing pretty well so far, Weigand pointed out. Were definitely in a more competitive league where some of the teams are real tough. But there have also been matches against teams weve handled pretty well. So its balanced. But overall, were doing pretty well. Garcia believes that good team chemistry has been a significant factor in the teams success. Were pumping each other up before matches and were staying until all of our teammates are done playing so we can give each other support, she said. Claremonts next match will be at Ayala on Tuesday at 3:15 p.m. Coach Spinosa not only would like to see a win against the Bulldogs but would like to gain a measure of revenge against St. Lucys. The private Catholic school and South Hills are responsible for the Packs 2 losses this season. We get another crack at St. Lucys and I think we have a good chance of beating them, Coach Spinosa said.
