Politically correct
Dear Editor: Last Saturdays celebration at El Barrio Park was a grand event. Yet, there was a residual undercurrent of anger. Councilmember Sam Pedroza, in his comments to those gathered at the park, complained, again, about those who had questioned the appropriateness of using city funds to support a formal Catholic mass at the event. He felt they were trying to be too politically correct in raising the constitutional principle captured by the phrase the separation of church and state. That American constitutional principle had its origins in the early years of our countrys history. It does not deny the importance of the Catholic Church in providing great support and comfort for members of the Hispanic community in Claremont at a time when that community was the target of prejudice and segregation. Ironically, his complaint seemed to challenge a central theme of the celebration: that the Hispanic population of Claremont was, and is, as American as

anyone else. That theme was embodied in the presentation of colors, the singing of the national anthem and the emphasis on the involvement of local Mexican-Americans in the national sport, i.e., baseball. When council members take an oath to uphold the Constitution, surely that does not mean parts of it can be ignored by simply attributing adherence to being too politically correct.

CHS facilities issues spur health concerns, complaints
heres no doubt about it, the administration at Claremont High School is faced with aging facilities and a limited budget.
All of the buildings are old, said Kevin Ward, assistant superintendent of human resources and compliance officer for the Claremont Unified School District. What happens in tight economic times is you end up taking care of emergency issues, but theres not a lot of preventative improvement. At least one faculty member feels the deferred maintenance poses a risk to CHS students and staff. Earlier this month, the teacher, who has asked that his name be withheld, filed the second of 2 Williams Complaints requesting that CUSD investigate questionable conditions on campus. The Williams Complaint process provides a uniform procedure for staff and students in districts across the state to address possible unsafe facility conditions, among other issues. The complainant also filed 2 complaints with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the results of which are pending. The teachers first Williams Complaint, filed on February 29, 2012, asked that 700 quad classrooms 705 through 709 and surrounding buildings like the CHS library be inspected for water damage and the presence of mold. The district responded by hiring the Riverside-based industry specialist consultants Info-Tox, who performed an asbestos inspection on April 7. InfoTox also contracted out with AAA Lead Consultants and Inspections, Inc. of Corona to check for lead and L.Y. Environmental of Highland to look for mold, their inspections were also performed on April 7. A few days later, on April 12, L.Y. Environmental wrote a letter to Mike Niuwlandt, president of Info-Tox, informing him that inspectors had detected the presence of heavy fungal
growth in 2 locations. The district was made aware of the problems shortly after. Four feet of mold growth was found in Room 705, including the strains Penicillium/Aspergillus and Stachybotriys. The instructor who filed the Williams Complaint teaches in a neighboring classroom. Stachybotriys is often referred to as black mold, according Carl Cole, an Alta Loma-based environmental hygienist and the owner of First Choice Mold Inspection and Remediation, Inc. Mr. Cole has not inspected Claremont High School for mold, but was asked by the COURIER to shed some light on the reported strains of fungal growth. If youve got a 4-foot area of visible black mold, thats not good. Thats the worst type of mold there is, Mr. Cole said. While the effects of exposure vary, he explained, common symptoms experienced by those adversely affected by black mold mimic symptoms of a cold, such as a runny nose and coughing. Just outside of Room 705, 40 feet of the Alternaria species was found growing on the plywood ceiling of an overhang. The district was advised to clean the overhang as soon as possible, at a time when school was not in session. L.Y. Environmental recommended mitigation should be undertaken by workers wearing personal protective equipment (PPE), such as suits with masks and hoods. Alternaria can exacerbate asthma, and is a common contaminant of water-damaged buildings, according to the American Mold & Restoration website. Mr. Cole said he is much less concerned with mold found growing outside of buildings, because the spores are likely to dissipate in the open air. I would still treat it, but I wouldnt take an air sample. Whats the point? he said. Situation gets worse While CHS administrators made plans for the recommended cleanup, an

emergency intervened in the form of a fire-suppression pipe that burst outside of Room 705 on Wednesday, April 18. The Claremont Fire Department was called to the scene, and temporarily shut down the fire-suppression system in the area. With the quad flooded with water, CHS custodians searched for the source of the problem, using circular saws to cut into the same plywood on which the Alternaria mold had been found. The complainant, who detailed the situation in his second Williams Report, says sawdust was blowing into Room 705 through slats in the rooms old cantilevered windows, which are not airtight. The complainant feels students in Room 705 and the teacherwho suffers from asthmashould have been evacuated immediately. The teacher ultimately contacted Joe Tonan, Claremont Faculty Association president,
who advocated for her removal. She complained to the principal and asked to be taken out of the room, Mr. Tonan said. Hours went by and she was still not taken out of the room. Mr. Cole agreed that cutting into Alternaria-infested plywood with bystanders around isnt a good idea. If youre working on the outside of the building, youll want to seal the windows because as youre cutting, youre making it more airborne, he said. That weekend, a crew came and cleaned the mold inside and outside of Room 705. Mr. Ward estimates that the districts response to the complainant's first complaintfrom inspections to mitigation to related legal consultation feeshave totaled $100,000 thus far. In the second complaint, the teacher questioned some of this expenditure,

Water issues to flow on city council agenda Tuesday
fter a brief hiatus on city agendas, Claremonts potential water acquisition is back for council discussion next week.
The Claremont City Council will meet in closed session Tuesday, June 26 at 5:15 p.m. to discuss details of a possible water takeover, according to City Manager Tony Ramos. A report will then be delivered to the public at the regular city council meeting at 6:30 p.m. After direction given by the city council in early January, city staff has been working to gather necessary information to determine costs associated with the acquisition. Up to $250,000 of general reserve funds was allocated to explore the possibility of purchasing the citys water system. A utility consultant,
appraiser and financial consultant were among hiring expenditures. In an interview with Mr. Ramos in early March, he explained that the acquisition was CITY in the analysis stage and would COUNCIL probably be there for another 60 days to 90 days before being presented to the council. The discussion was further postponed when Golden State Water was granted a file extension for its annual financial report by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). Golden State Water was given an extra 30 days beyond the usual deadline of March 31, according to Ben Lewis, Golden State Waters Foothill District manager. Mr. Lewis added that filing for an extension is not uncommon among water utilities. We want to make sure the documents we file are accurate, he said, adding that Golden State Water re-
quested the extension on March 23, prior to the deadline. The council has now received the necessary financial information needed to discuss the acquisition further, according to Mr. Ramos and Mayor Larry Schroeder. We want to make sure we make a decision on how to proceed based on a good expert estimate of what we can expect, Mr. Schroeder said in a previous interview. I know everybody is upset about high water rates, and I can appreciate that myself, but we want to make sure we are making a good business decision. In the meantime, city officials are following a 3pronged approach (general rate case, lobbying and acquisition) to tackle residential concerns regarding rising water costs.

CITY NEWS
COURIER photos/Steven Felschundneff Congregants pray during an open air Catholic mass on Saturday during the 40th anniversary celebration of El Barrio Park. The inclusion of the mass in the daylong celebration caused some controversy at a recent city council meeting when several people complained that the city should not fund an event with a religious service.
Thriving Arbol Verde community recognizes rich heritage
undreds gathered under the shade of trees at Claremonts El Barrio Park Saturday for a reunion celebration 100 years in the making.
Former friends and neighbors of the citys historical Arbol Verde community joined to honor the neighborhoods centennial anniversary, recognizing the rich Mexican-American culture that thrives in Claremont today. A significant part of Claremonts roots, Arbol Verde has been a prominent Mexican-American enclave in Claremont, Montclair and Upland since the early 1900s. In addition to the centennial, the event also celebrated the 40th anniversary of the neighborhoods El Barrio Park, a fitting symbol of the neighborhoods steadfastness and dedication to creating community despite adversity. Its so nice to see that 40 years later people are still enjoying the park. For a while we didnt think the park would happen, said Ray Mendoza, one of the Arbol Verde residents who helped build El Barrio Park. It was part of a real community effort. The park is a true symbol of the spirit of the people of Arbol Verde, added Mr. Mendozas wife, Ernestine Mendoza.

ARBOL VERDE continued from the previous page
There was a real sense of community, said Ms. Mendoza. There wasnt a man that wouldnt take the shirt off his back for you. That sense of togetherness was rekindled during the weekend celebration. Arbol Verde residents both past and present were given the chance to reunite, some for the first time in decades. Veronica Felix of Montclair, who grew up in Arbol Verde and remained for 30 years, was happy for the chance to see some familiar faces. This is an important part of my heritage, said Ms. Felix. She reflected on fond memories like visiting the neighborhood El Chisme Market, or The Gossip, for household needs like milk and eggs. This is part of who I am today. Some of the neighborhoods first inhabitants gathered to tell stories of the areas beginnings, while others doted over young children, and marveling at how life has changed for the youngsters of Arbol Verde. Ninetyeight-year-old Mary Palos, one of the original Arbol Verde residents, can hardly believe the changes that have taken place since she first came to Claremont in 1919. She moved to the United States from Michoacn, Mexico, where she was born 5 years earlier. There was nothing but groves, she recalled. Helping to establish the Catholic community with the construction of the former Sacred Heart Chapel is among the highlights of her youth in Claremont. On their free weekends, [Arbol Verde residents] would volunteer to pour cement, build pews, walls, windows and anything else to finish the church, Ms. Palos said. Everyone came out to take help. Honoring the events intended purpose, its cultural significance and the role of the Catholic community in the Arbol Verde neighborhood, Saturdays celebration began with an outdoor Catholic mass presided over by Father Charles Ramirez, pastor of Claremonts Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Church. In his homily, Fr. Ramirez recognized the persecution of the first Mexican-Americans as they worked to establish themselves and their faith in the Claremont community. They werent wanted here initially, but they stood strong in their faith, Fr. Ramirez said. After coming together in communion, participants enjoyed classic folklorico dancing and traditional Mex-
ican fare provided by the local Knights of Columbus chapter, a Catholic fraternal community service organization. It was a celebration reminiscent of the jamaica celebrations once held at the old chapel. I used to make chicken and mole and sell it for 75 cents a plate while people were dancing in the dirt nearby, Ms. Palos said. It was a lot of fun. Indigenous Aztec song and dance pulled in the crowds, eager to learn and take part regardless of cultural heritage. People of all different backgrounds engaged in the ceremony and the significance of the dance, said Al Villanueva, chairperson for the Arbol Verde Preservation Committee that hosted Saturdays event. It was a true cultural engagement with the public. The days event was a telling tribute to the rich heritage of the Arbol Verde community, according to Mr. Villanueva. Contento, content, said Mr. Villanueva, summing up his satisfaction. It was a success.

Going half-baked into the heat of summer

by John PIxley
didnt make it to the groundbreaking ceremony. It was just one of those things I would have liked to have gone to, but it was at a bad time for me.
Actually, it wasnt just one of those things. It was the groundbreaking ceremony for the extensive rennovation of the Claremont High School Theatre. The renovation will be so extensive that it required a groundbreaking and also a new name: the Don F. Fruechte Theatre for the Performing Arts, in honor of the widely-admired first theater director at the high school (I remember my older sister and her friends talking about him when they were in high school). The event took place 2 weeks ago and was literally a longtime dream come true. It was certainly a dream come true for me, even if I wasnt there. I was thrilled 2 years ago when I first heard of the effort to raise $1.5 million for the renovation and, with a matching Career and Technical Education grant from the State Allocation Board, make it reality and not just talk and a wish. It has always been a pain to go to a show at the theater in a wheelchair, so much so that I have tended to avoid going there. Getting into the theater, going through a small, dark side entrance, has been an obstacle course which isnt fun, and sitting on a narrow ledge with a sight-line railing often results in a literal headache. It was great to hear that a big part of the renovation will make the theater more wheelchair-accessible. Those of us in wheelchairs are by far not the only ones who will benefit from the renovation. It has always looked to me like those steep stairs are scary and dangerous, and I can only hope the theater ends up being a light and airy space rather than the current cramped and dingy hole-in-the-wall. And no doubt Krista Elhai, the longtime CHS theater director who has been every bit as hard-working and beloved as Mr. Fruechte, and her students are delighted with the additional space that they will have for storage, rehearsal and preparation. The groundbreaking was the community coming together to make something happen that a lot of people wanted to see happen. It was a celebration
observer
and a promotion of community. Not unlike the CHS production of All Shook Up at Bridges Auditorium a few weeks ago. I regret that I missed this, too. As was the case last year, the show was scheduled over Memorial Day weekend, when I go out of town, but it has always seemed to me that the big end-of-the-year musical in the big theater is more than a theatrical production. It is, again, truly the community coming together to make something happen. Which is why I dont get why the Wednesday night street fair isnt happening in the Village this summer. When I heard this last month from a friend who was a vendor at the street fair last year and wanted to do the same this year, my immediate thought was that the city is being foolish and letting a real opportunity slip by. Its not that Im upset that my friend doesnt have the opportunity to be a vendor there. Other such opportunities are available. And its not that Im upset that I wont have someplace to go every Wednesday evening, although it was nice to get out and listen to some music as the sun went down and the day cooled off. Although this was a nice midweek break, I probably wouldnt have gone to the street fair as often as I did last year and certainly not every Wednesday (when Im in town) as I did when it debuted the year before. Its the same with the Friday Nights Live concerts in the Village. I dont go as often as I used to. It depends on whos playing, and its not the only time I can hear live music for free in Claremont during the summer. For example, there will be the Monday night concerts in Memorial Park, which I find to be a more comfortable, more inviting setting.
But I love that I can go listen to a band playing in the Village for free in the cool of a week-ending Friday evening if I feel like it. And I love that when I do choose to go to the Friday Nights Live concerts, I usually see that there are plenty of others taking advantage of the opportunity. This is what Claremont is missing out on in not having the Wednesday night street fair in the Village. Even if I wouldnt be the every Wednesday, there would always be people there and not just my friend who wanted to be a vendor. And, as with my vendoring friend, there are, yes, other opportunitiesthere always arebut why give all these people the excuse to take advantage of these opportunities somewhere else. Last year, I knew there was a problem when the Wednesday night fair was scheduled for June through August instead of mid-April through September as it was during its first year. The fair also covered a significantly smaller area. It was like Claremont was wavering and having second thoughts. It was like Claremont wanted to have an evening street fair like many other towns but was half-hearted about it. Im always hearing it said that more people need to be attracted to the Villageto bring in more revenue, for one thingbut I sometimes wonder if Claremont doesnt want to attract too many people or the wrong people. I keep thinking about the letter that appeared in these pages soon after the first fair, with the writer alarmed about there being carnival people and hot-dog-on-a-stick in the Village. Im also sure it takes some money to put on the street fair, but it only makes sense that it takes some expense to attract a crowd. Call it an investment. That is, again, if we want to attract a crowd. Summerand today is the first day of summer is a good time to celebrate and nurture community, with long, balmy evenings and people having a bit more time on their hands. Claremont is good at promoting community, but doing it without its summer evening street fair is definitely half-baked.
Come on, George. Follow me! On with evolution.
FRAYED FACILITIES continued from the previous page
wondering why the district opted to perform lead and asbestos inspections unrelated to his Williams Complaint. Big issues, limited funds Mr. Ward said the district responded to the first Williams Complaint in a timely and thorough manner. "[The teacher] has the right to use this venue to address concerns. We will respond to his complaints and get them done," he said. Mr. Ward noted the cleanup was performed within 45 days of the filing of the complaint, whereas in some districts it takes years. This summer, the district will work to address the facilities listed in the second Williams Complaint, which represent most of the campus. He estimates conservatively that it will cost the district another $100,000. All Ive heard from all levels is that whatever needs to be fixed, we need to fix it. Period, Mr. Ward said. While the complainant is the sole author of the Williams and OSHA reports, the need for repairs and renovation on the CHS campus is widely acknowledged by staff members as well as the administration. English teacher Allison Evans was moved to the 800 quad 6 years ago, a change she welcomed because of problems she experienced while stationed in a 700quad room. While there, she was concerned about signs of leakage as well as a white-colored growth on the walls, which at that time were exposed brick. When she complained to facilities administrators, she was told it was a calcium deposit. A colleague who teaches science, however, told her calcium would not be growing in the manner of the spider-webby pattern. The concern experienced by Ms. Evans, who has pretty heavy allergies and hay fever, came to a head in 2004, when she began to feel that her eyes weren't working as well. One day it got so bad that my eyes actually swelled shut. I couldnt see properly. I got kind of scared and called my mom, she related. Ms. Evans mother took her to urgent care, where the doctor asked her if she'd been exposed to any mold or fungal growth. Ms. Evans answered that she thought there was mold in her classroom. The doctor prescribed some eye drops, and her issues cleared up. Ms. Evans, who says she definitely felt bad while located in the 700-quad classroom, sees the dampness as a problem with the buildings design. It kind of banks down from the street, like a little hill. As the sun rises in east and crosses in sky, the sun never gets into that grassy area where the classrooms [are located], she said. Theres definitely a moisture problem that has been there. In 2010, voters rejected a $95 million bond measure aimed at updating district facilities. An earlier bond measure, Measure Y, authorizing $48,910,000 in general obligation bonds to pay for repairing and rehabilitating school facilities, was passed in 2000. Many who opposed the bill said they did so because the first bond didnt yield sufficient improvement. Part of the problem is that the cost of planned repairs escalated in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, when building materials rose precipitously, according to Mr. Ward and Mr. Tonan. The district may need to work hard to sell voters on another school bond. But with the budget as it is, many staffers and administrators feel another successful bond measure may be needed to infuse the district with the cash it needs to fix all of the problems. Our staff is very concerned about providing the best for all students. Were very cognizant of the limited means we have to do that, and Claremont does a good job of addressing that, Mr. Ward. The frustration comes from the fact that we cant do it all. We really think our children deserve state-of-the-art new buildings.
Photo special to the COURIER Water damage and staining on a ceiling tile from a classroom in the 700 quad of Claremont High School.
Ongoing concerns continue Mr. Ward will spend much of the summer negotiating the new Williams Complaint. The response to the OSHA complaintssomething that usually takes 4 to 6 monthswill arrive sometime in the upcoming school year. In the meantime, Mr. Ward will continue to address facilities issues as they come up, one at a time, with the money that can be found. We have leaking roofs all over the district. Its a never-ending battle to keep up with water damage, he said. Along with asking that the school inspect the 400, 600, 700 and 800 quads in their entirety, the complainant's new Williams paperwork asserts the burst pipe may well have been prevented. He asked: Why did administrators not respond to his reports (made in advance of his Williams Complaint) there was a damp and discolored ceiling tile in his room and water was dripping from the plywood in the area where the fire suppression main eventually burst? Mr. Ward contends the district assumed the water damage was due to leaking roofs. The complaint coincided with the rainy season during which time water tends to collect on the eaves of the old, flat-roofed buildings. The water situation was added to a long queue of repairs needed throughout the district. Since roofing is usually done during the summer, the district planned to address the situation at that time. Many of the complainants latest Williams Complaint assertions fault administrative decisions, as opposed to budget shortfalls. Claremont High School Principal Brett OConnor has been disingenuous throughout the process, the teacher says. The fact that Mr. OConnor ordered inspections only in the rooms specified in the teachers first William Complaint shows that the administrator is minimizing a dangerous problem, he said. The complainant also believes Mr. OConnor has not been forthcoming enough about the situation. The principal sent an email to the students, parents and staff of Room 705 the day after the pipe burst, advising of the ongoing facilities issues. CUSD has been working with an independent building inspector with regards to evidence of water leakage in specific classrooms at CHS, as well as the standing water on some of our flat roofs after rainstorms, Mr. OConnors letter states.
The letter also relates that a 4-foot area of mold had been discovered in Room 705 above ceiling tiles and insulation, just below the roof and that the inspector had found the slightly elevated levels of mold spores. The complainant feels that the notice (which said the situation was not problematic enough to warrant quarantining the room) was insufficient, because it failed to address the mold outside of the classroom. Throughout his reports and correspondences, the complainant refers to 44 feet of mold. The complainant also notes that, since the classroom is used as a gathering room for a number of clubs and activities, including debate club meetings and SAT testing, the entire school community should have received the email. Mr. OConnor said he couldnt comment on the assertions due to the sensitive nature of the situation. Much of the issue has taken on a he-said-they-said tone. The complainant said he has experienced recriminations for his whistle-blowing, including a heightened level of scrutiny in the wake of his facilities complaints. He was observed in his classroom 9 times by administration in the weeks following his initial informal notice of potential mold issue. In one week, he was observed 5 consecutive days in a row, which Mr. Tonan said is highly unusual. I think the employee has had, in the short time after he filed his Williams Complaint, an unusually high number of drop-in observations, Mr. Tonan said. Mr. Ward said the complainant has received no disciplinary actions, and that any observations that have taken place are unrelated to the facilities issue. The instructor has filed 2 grievances with CUSD, the first of them filed on May 30, asserting that CHS administration has been negligent with regards to facilities and alleging that he is experiencing recriminations for his reporting. Interim CUSD Superintendent Gloria Johnston has issued a denial of the first grievance. The faculty union has voted 19-1 to allow the complainant to appeal the denial of his grievance. Another development that could find the district in arbitration is the complainants additional filing of a discrimination complaint with OSHAs Division of Labor Standards Enforcement. While school is now out, the work resolving this issue at CHS has just begun.

On to fame and fortune (and prison):

CHS alumni in the public spotlight
he futures of the 500 plus Claremont High School students who graduated on Thursday are wide open. Some know what path lies before them, with their sights set on a specific, longed-for destiny. Others may know what the very next step iscollege, for examplebut beyond this looms a big question mark. Still others, nearly one week post-commencement, are wondering What now?
Some alumni will deliberately choose their profession; others will stumble into it, a random and surprising mix of experiences paving the way. Some will keep a low profile during their lives; others will stand in the public spotlight in one way or another. For the purposes of this article, the COURIER sleuthed out some of the spotlight-standers in the high schools history, CHS alumni who have gained various levels of fame or infamy since they tossed their maroon graduation caps high in the air. Celebrity Claremonters appear to fall into 2 main categoriesentertainers and athleteswith a few other slants on fame mixed in. Among the professional athletes who attended or graduated from CHS is Justin Germano, currently a pitcher for the Boston Red Sox.

CHS teacher, alumna collaborate on childrens book
he author Robert Louis Stevenson once said, An aim in life is the only fortune worth finding.
With this in mind, Claremont High School English teacher Kevin Glavin has written a childrens book encouraging young people to set goals and look to the future. Called All The Things Youll Do!, the story is written in the form of a song, which 2 new parents sing to their child in celebration of the landmark achievements in store, from walking to counting by 10s to adventures on the road and in the skies. There are a number of journal pages at the end of the book, in which readers are encouraged to share accomplishment, memories and mementos, with pages allocated for entries made at ages 1 through 10. Kids are also urged to brainstorm about their future by envisioning dream vacations, creating a savings plan and writing their perfect life story. Mr. Glavin hopes the book will make a keepsake people will enjoy looking back on when theyre older. I think its critically important to plan ahead, Mr. Glavin said. They dont always have to be big goals, like going to college. It might be just saying, This year, Id really like to take a trip to Chicago or to an art museum. The book, self-published through Kevin Glavin Publishing, is the first in what the author hopes will be an ongoing series of Ducks in a Row Books. While he certainly hopes the book will be well received, Mr. Glavin said his goal from the start has been to write a book to help his own young son. Having your own child changes you in so many ways for the better, he said. The focus now is on my child, and how I can make things better for him and help him accomplish what he wants to do. All the Things Youll Do! is illustrated by CHS alumna Sarah Grepo, a young person unafraid to reach for her own goals. Ms. Grepo, who graduated from CHS in 2010, is a former student of Mr. Glavin. She has gone on to Cal State Fullerton, where she is pursuing a degree in graphic design. Last year, she visited CHS to catch up with her old instructors, including Mr. Glavin. He calls the meeting fortuitous. Mr. Glavin had previously published a satiric novel aimed at adults called Rockstars Rainbow, which was named to Kirkus Reviews Best of 2011 list. When Ms. Grepo inquired as to what he was going to do next, he answered, Id really like to do a childrens book for my child, to inspire him. When he asked Ms. Grepo if she knew any illustrators, she took a leap of faith and said, This is what I want to do. I couldnt pass up the chance to see how far I can go, she said. I thought, If Im going to be an artist, Id better start now.
COURIER photo/Cameron Barr Claremont High School teacher Kevin Glavin and his former student, Sarah Grepo, have collaborated on a childrens book All The Things Youll Do!, which will be available next week. Mr. Glavin wrote the story and Ms. Grepo made the illustrations.
Ms. Grepo began brainstorming with Mr. Glavin for what would ultimately become 20 color illustrations to accompany his text. She has created pictures rich in detail and optimism and which celebrate the diversity of our world. She has learned a lot from the experience, which changed her relationship with Mr. Glavin from that of student to collaborator. She would email a sketch to the author and he would give her feedback and suggest changes. After each final drawing was approved, she scanned it into the computer and inked it via the digital imaging program Photoshop. While there are a few things she wishes were done differently, Ms. Grepo is satisfied with the work on the book, which represents her first real illustration gig. This experience, has really enlightened me about the world of art. I need to get as good as I can, she said. The better I get at drawing, the better I can give high quality work to my clients. Mr. Glavin is pleased with her illustrations, which he says really reflect the spirit of his book, and with Non-Profit of the Year, Ambassador of the Year and the Prestigious Chairs Award. For information, visit www.claremontchamber.org.
the self-publishing process. The classic publishing model takes so long to do, and you dont have a lot of control, he said. If Id gone that route, it wouldnt be done now. It can take years. All the Things Youll Do! is available through amazon.com and at Mr. Glavins website, allthethingsyoulldo.com. He and his wife are currently working on a song by the same name, which will be offered as a free accompaniment to the book. Ms. Grepo may work with Mr. Glavin to turn her artwork into an animated childrens video. When you accomplish a project like this, the net result is a boost in confidence. Its a feeling the CHS team can savor as they ponder their own futures, and all the things they have the ability to do.

having a direct impact on high school competition and college recruitment. Often, all 3 levels of water polo become intertwined, as is the case with the local polo power couple. Mr. Rodriguez, the mens and womens coach for Pomona-Pitzer, and Ms. McKown, the boys and girls coach at Claremont High School, each do double duty as coaches for Foothill Club Water Polo, started 6 years ago by Mr. Rodriguez and John Ashby, the boys coach at Bonita High School in La Verne. At Foothill, Mr. Rodriguez coaches the 18 and under level boys while Ms.
Water polo may just be southern Californias fastest growing club sport, and its popularity throughout the region is
COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff Kristin McKown and Alex Rodriguez have a unique bond stemming from their love of the same sport. Ms. McKown coaches boys and girls water polo at Claremont High School while Mr. Rodriguez is the water polo coach for Pomona-Pitzer Athletics.
McKown is in charge of the 14 and under girls. Mr. Rodriguez started the club after coming to Pomona-Pitzer to be the colleges head coach. After coaching at Pepperdine (where he won a national championship as a player), Mr. Rodriguez began building the Pomona program. If it sounds like the world of water polo is a close knit one, thats because it is. Mr. Rodriguezs one-time coach, Jim Armstrong, now coaches at Foothill and Pomona-Pitzer, using his seasoned skills as a top recruiter of potential college
players. At one early-season practice, I saw this little kid warming up. He was not very fast, and I worried he would get crushed, but he didnt back down one bit, Mr. Armstrong said of Mr. Rodriguez, his former player. He won an NCAA national championship as a player, then won CIF championships as a high school coach and SCIAC championships as a college coach. And hes not from the usual water polo power house areas. Hes from La Verne.

FIRST COUPLE continued from the previous page
When Mr. Rodriguez came back to coach at Bonita High School, Ms. McKown joined him as an assistant, then took over duties at Foothill Club for the girls team. She eventually branched out on her own securing her current position at Claremont High School. Principal Brett OConnor was looking for a coach who could also teachin this case Environmental Science, physiology, and anatomy. Hesitant to let her coach right away, Mr. OConnor recommended that Ms. McKown get acclimated as a teacher first, suggesting she take over the girls team in the winter of her first year. It didnt take long for her to prove her mettle, Mr. OConnor said. The following fall she was named the boys coach as well. Though it is uncommon to find a woman coaching boys, Ms. McKown is unfazed while handeling tough game situations with the boys. Ms. McKowns path to coaching was also filled with obstacles. She turned to water polo later in life, like Mr. Rodriguez. As a student, Ms. McKown petitioned her high school to start a girls water polo program. Without her effort, Bonita High may not have a girls water polo team. After freshman year of college as a walk-on, she was sidelined by surgery in her sophomore year at the University of La Verne. But Ms. McKown bounced back to be an All American the next 3 years. She then served as an assistant coach at her alma mater, Univeristy of La Verne, then went back to Bonita High as the junior varisty coach, finally landing with the Foothill Water Polo Club. Andy Rosenberg, the girls coach at Bonita High School, remembers Mr. Rodriguezs skill and determination when he was a student at Bonita. Alex was probably the most talented male athlete I ever coached, Mr. Rosenberg said. Initially, Pepperdine had no interest in him. He was anaccomplishedcommunity college player, but didn't have the size that attracts Division 1 coaches.Rather than giving up, he drove the 60 miles to Pepperdine to participate in open scrimmages, and endedupan All-American his first year.He has applied that stick-to-it attitude to everything he has accomplishedin the sport. Alex La, the head mens coach at the University of La Verne, has crossed paths with the couple through the years as both a coach and as an official at matches. Rodriguez only knew me as an officialone he

didnt particularly care for, at that, Coach La related. But Kristin played for me at La Verne, and it was at her recommendation that I was asked to join the Foothill program. Ive been coaching boys for the club ever since. Academic success and his achievement in water polo did not come naturally to Mr. Rodriguez, whose parents are from Cuba. No one told me how to get into college or where to apply. Now all I want is to help these kids get into college, he said. Ms. McKown echoes his sentiments and committment to helping local water polo players achieve success both in the pool and the classroom. The local colleges are amazing. But it's a big world out there, she said. I want my players to know they can go anywhere and do anything. We took about 25 kids from the club to Hungary to play over the summer. After some really tough play, one of them got out of the pool and shouted, I want to move here! Thats the kind of thing that makes it all worth it." To many 69-year-old Don Holbrook could be considered the grandfather of local water polo. As a coach for many years at Los Altos High School, he fondly remembers both Ms. McKown and Mr. Rodriguez as young players, remarking that he is not surprised both went on to successful coaching careers. When Alex started the Foothill Water Polo Club, he made a major impact on the quality of play in the San Gabriel Valley. He is so dynamic with his knowledge of the game, and has the ability to pass this on to anyone willing to listen, Mr. Holbrook said. And Kristin is a great motivator and teacher.She has the disposition necessary to allow the players to learn and make mistakes,and the guidance to help the students correct those mistakes. Coaching with them was the greatest coaching experience Ive had, he said. They are both outstanding coaches, but they are even better people, he said.

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

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that Helen Ross be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

A HEARING on the petition will be held on July 12, 2012 at 8:30 AM in Dept. No. A, located at 400 Civic Center Plaza, Pomona, CA 91766. IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the deceased, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within four months from the date of first issuance of letters as provided in Probate Code section 9100. The time for filing claims will not expire before four months from the hearing date noticed above. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for petitioner: GREGG ROSS ESQ SBN#233964 P.O. Box 3378 RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CA 91729 Publish: 6/16, 6/20 6/23/12 T.S.

REAL ESTATE
SA LE
I obtained my real estate license nearly 25 years ago. My mother, Ruth, who was also a real estate broker, encouraged me to advertise in the Claremont COURIER if anyone was going to take me seriously in representing them with the sale or purchase of a home. The COURIER has been one of my best resources for attracting buyers to my homes and sellers to represent the sale of, often, their most important asset. Readers of the COURIER always know where to find me as I am consistently in both the paper and its online format Geoff Hamill, real estate broker associate
Mr. Hamill began his career in real estate at the age of 20 while attending Cal-Poly Pomona, where he earned a degree in finance, real estate and law.
