Most Sundays are boring for me, but this day I was excited because my mom told me I would be able to attend a concert in Claremont. As a musician who plays the cello, I enjoy watching others perform and there- fore, I was excited to hear the Claremont Young Musicians Orchestra. When I ar- rived, I was overwhelmed by the beauty of Bridges Hall and shocked to see the intricate and ornate organs on the wall. While walking to my seat, I also no- ticed thatthe orchestra appeared to be smaller than most orchestras and con- sisted of violins, some cellos, a few vio- las, a harp and other instruments that my school band uses. After observing the or- chestra, I now was excited to hear them play because I havent been to a concert in a while. Finally, after much anticipa- tion, the orchestra started playing. The first song they began to execute was Overture to Nabucco, and it was played in a very loud manner and in- cluded contrasts that made the song come to life. Although it was rather loud, I thor- oughly enjoyed the song because the mu- sicians played with a great amount of enthusiasm. The songs to follow this one were enjoyable to me because I felt that the orchestra took their performance seri- ously by playing as a cohesive ensemble. I have never been to a concert where I have felt part of the orchestra and I have to say that being in Bridges Hall with the beautiful organs and scenery surrounding me made this a concert I will never for- get. Kayley Toyama Diamond Bar Punishment for whistle-blowing Dear Editor: I have read the article in a recent COURIER based on visions by the Super- intendent of Claremont Unified School District relative to a long-employed teacher at Claremont High School. The teacher cited has taught for many years at the high school and has been considered by his students as a successful teacher. Not particularly mentioned in the arti- cle was the danger to students caused by the failure of CHS to maintain facilities, namely mold in the walls. I have also heard that CHS allows the use of grass killer on campus, which is dangerous to the health of the students. The teacher involved followed estab- lished procedures in reporting the danger- ous deficiencies that could directly affect the health of students. There have been few, if any, letters from parents thanking the school teacher. In return for attempt- ing to save students, he was subjected to a hostile working environment and threated with expulsion for speaking up. In the whistle-blowing arena, it has been said that the person who reports the breaking of the law gets punishment, and the person who breaks the law gets a meritorious award. In the statement written by the superin- tendent, he felt it necessary to publicly chastise the teacher, which illustrates his bias with the situation. Everything he said was contradicted by the police. Hopefully, justice can prevail for the teacher involved. Maurice Carter Claremont Protect our open space Dear Editor: Open spaces are especially valuable to residents of densely populated areas like Los Angeles County. They provide a place for families to get away for the weekend, and for kids to learn about the outdoors. Thats why Im grateful that Representative Judy Chu introduced leg- islation to permanently protect the San Gabriel Mountains. These mountains make up over 70 per- cent of the open space in Los Angeles County alone. Thanks to her leadership, we could have access to a permanently protected place for families and children to hike, climb, camp, stargaze, kayak, cycle and learn about all that nature has to offer. Having permanently protected access to these areas is vital for young people who grow up in urban communities, and have limited access to outdoors experi- ences. Im excited that were making progress on keeping the San Gabriels permanently protected!

With over 30 linear miles of bicycle in- frastructure, beginner and advanced cy- clists can stretch their legs and practice their skills in an environment that wel- comes the sport. This summer, the city of Claremont and the Claremont Senior Bike Group are sponsoring a series of free bicycle safety classes, teaching safe cycling techniques on public roads and streets. As certified instructors with the League of American Bicyclists and avid cyclists themselves, Tom Shelley, Steven Frieson and Peter Boor know a thing or two about the joys and challenges of cycling. Bicyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as motor vehicles and motorcycle drivers, explains Mr. Shel- ley. A lot of people dont know that, par- ticularly children. National Safety Council statistics show that bicyclists between the ages of 5 to 14 have the highest accidental death rate among bicyclists. According to the city website, most bi- cycle accidents in the Claremont occur between 7 and 8 a.m. or 2 and 3 p.m., a time when many children are traveling to and from schools. Parents are strongly encouraged to talk with their children about bicycle safety. Attending a free class taught by certified instructors is a great place to start. Sycamore student Ben Taylor attended the June 19 Traffic Skills 101 class with his father, Chuck, and followed that up with a Saturday ride with one of the in- structors, who provided him with some real-life experience on the road. Im really interested in riding my bike to school next year and I learned a lot from the safety class, the 10-year-old said. We rode from the Hughes Center to Thompson Creek Trail and I learned how to cross the street and avoid hazards like a rock in front of you by twisting your front wheel to avoid it. It was a nice way to learn. Protecting yourself In 2013, there were 15 bicycle-related collisions in Claremont. Earlier this month, a Fontana cyclist riding on Mt. Baldy Road was killed after a vehicle struck him. Riding with the flow of traf- fic, controlling your lane, being aware of your surroundings and wearing a helmet, regardless of age, are just a few of the ba- sics people need to know to safely ride. We believe most accidents are avoid- able if you use basic skills, explains Mr. Shelley. On a narrow rural road, bicy- clists have to take control of the lane. Its hard enough dodging rocks, but being on the shoulder is dangerous. When youre in the middle of a lane, you force the cars to slow down and pass you when its safe. Councilman Sam Pedroza, an experi- enced cyclist, knows all too well how a pleasant ride can turn into a horrific crash in the blink of an eye. Mr. Pedroza was seriously injured in August 2011 when he took his road bike to the gym and ended up in a collision with a vehicle. It was a new bike and it was like going from driving a semi-truck to a Fer- rari, explains Mr. Pedroza. I was right around the corner from my house and going fast. There was a truck parked up ahead; I looked over my shoulder to get over and smashed into the back of the truck on Arrow Highway. B efore winding down for a summer recess in Au- gust, the Claremont City Council revisited two matters recently brought before the council. The citys tree pol- icy and funding for Commu- nity Based Organizations came before the council once again Tuesday night. Trees policies have new outcome The recent draft of revised policies and guidelines that govern the care and maintenance of Claremonts urban for- est raised some questions for council members, particularly their concerns over the use of Tree Growth Regulator (TGR). Frequent complaints by Clare- mont property owners regarding seed- pods littering the right-of-way in front of their homes prompted city staff to propose a program that would treat city trees with TGR. The draft policy included an optional program where interested homeown- ersat their own expensecould part- ner with the city to have the trees on their property treated with the chemi- cal, which has proven to reduce fruit and seedpod production by 20 to 80 percent. City council held a special workshop on June 2 and requested the removal of this program from the draft policy, cit- ing concerns with chemical usage. As a result, city staff removed the language outlining this program from the draft policy manual. The changes, along with others re- quested by council members, will be brought before the city again in the fall. Also on June 2, the council allocated funds to the Inland Urban Forest Group (IUFG) to expand the Designated Street Tree List and conduct an in- dividual assessment of city trees that show signs of stress or decline. IUFG conducted a Windshield Sur- vey on June 10 and found that overall; Claremonts leafscape is generally in good health, although drought and dis- ease is taking its toll on many trees throughout the city. Nearly all the citys liquidambars and many of the elms on Indian Hill are exhibiting symptoms of leaf scorch, a disease carried by a sharpshooter insect for which there is no cure. The citys London planetrees also appear to be in declining health, possibly as a result of a mild winter, which has limited their dormancy time. In addition, IUFG observed that five percent of the citys tree population ap- peared to be demonstrating mild to se- vere drought stress. Five percent doesnt sound like a lot, explained Tree Action Committee (TAC) member Mark von Wodtke. But when you break it down, thats 1,200 trees that are in real trouble. IUFG cited lack of water as the main issue with many of Claremont trees, in- cluding the eucalyptus trees along Foothill Boulevard and many of the magnolias along Mountain Avenue. Unfortunately, a lack of water is an issue that has no easy fix, but many TAC members and residents believe the addition of a water truck may provide some immediate relief to the trees. I like the idea of a water truck, but I know its not in the citys budget, said Councilman Sam Pedroza. Its defi- nitely worth exploring private funding options. Longtime Claremont resident Ray Fowler followed up that idea with the suggestion of a water truck displaying advertisements for those who con- tributed donations. Councilman Corey Calaycay explained its not really a water tank truck per se, but a trailer where a water tank can be placed on top and then towed by a pick-up truck. Ive spoken with Mr. von Wodtke, and the trailer and the tank costs around $4,000, Mr. Calaycay said. Ive got a pick-up that Im happy to offer up and drive around with someone to get the job done. City grant program funding On May 13, the community and human services commission presented its proposed 2014-15 Community Based Organization (CBO) Grant Pro- gram to the city council. Twenty percent of the CBO budget was to be designated to new and emerging programs. However, the council found there to be some in- equities in how the money was distrib- uted and sent the recommendation back to commission for further review. At Tuesdays council meeting, the newly proposed 2014-15 CBO Grant Program budget including $86,650 for General Services and $60,000 for Homeless Services was well received. The requested 20 percent allocations to new and emerging programs in both General Services and Homeless Serv- ices programs was reflected in the revi- sion. The remaining balance of funding in each category would be designated for continuing programs in both service departments. Because the majority of the 28 CBO applicants are currently planning their budgets for the next fiscal year, the ap- plicants need to know what their fund- ing allocations will be to properly prepare for the year ahead. With this deadline in mind, the council approved the city staffs recommendation to award funding, based on the commis- sions revised average funding recom- mendations determined on June 4. Claremont Homeless Advocacy Pro- gram (CHAP), whose previous alloca- tion of $1,000 felt like a slap in the face to one volunteer, has now been raised to $6,500 and the Claremont Museum of Art, which was originally denied funding all together, will be get- ting $1,550 from the CBO General Services fund. The next city council meeting is scheduled for July 8. Angela Bailey news@claremont-courier.com Claremont COURIER/Friday, June 27, 2014 3 CITY NEWS BICYCLE SAFETY/next page Council wraps up two lingering items before summer recess CITY COUNCIL COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff Ben Taylor asks a question about riding his bike to school as his friend Jude Emmert listens during a bicycle safety class at the Hughes Center last Thurs- day. Ben was one of the more active participants in the class. Bicycle safety starts with an informed rider Psychologist pleads no contest to felony charges A former child psychologist who prac- ticed in Claremont was convicted of in- appropriately touching two children during therapy sessions, according to a press release from the Los Angeles County District Attorneys Office. Thomas Gary Amberson, 58, of Up- land pleaded no contest in Pomona court on June 23 to two felony counts of lewd acts upon a child. He was immediately remanded into custody. As the COURIER previously re- ported, the investigation was initiated in November 2012 by Claremont Police Department after a 9-year-old boy al- leged that Mr. Amberson committed lewd acts upon his person during a coun- seling session. A similar investigation was conducted in 2008, after a 13-year- old boy made similar allegations. The case was not filed by the District Attor- neys Office at the time due to insuffi- cient evidence but was included in the current criminal filing. Mr. Amberson is expected to be sen- tenced July 16 and faces eight years in state prison, according to the district at- torneys office. He will also have to reg- ister as a sex offender for life. Wednesday, June 18 A Pomona bicyclist made an unsafe lane change and ended up in the hospital after colliding with a vehicle. Around 10 a.m., the 27-year-old male was traveling eastbound on Arrow Highway when a car struck him near St. Bonaventure, ejecting the rider from his bike, according to Lieu- tenant Mike Ciszek. The cyclist suffered cuts to his left knee and ankle and was transported to Pomona Valley Hospital following complaints of hip pain. * * * * Scammers continue to target Clare- mont residents. This time, they claimed to be with the IRS. A resident received several calls on her cell phone around 11:30 a.m. from a man claiming she was delinquent on her taxes. The caller re- quested payment in the form of two Green Dot credit cards. The woman complied, paying $1,089 to the imper- sonator. Green Dot credit cards are a pre- paid cash card often used by people to pay bills online if they dont have a reg- ular bank account or other credit cards, like Visa or MasterCard. After receiving the initial $1,089, the scammers called the Claremont resident again and demanded another $3,000. At this point, the victim notified police. Po- lice remind residents that if a caller seems suspicious, hang up and call the agency directly. Dont use the phone number the caller provided but write it down so you can call the police to report the incident. Friday, June 20 A 17-year-old driver caused some se- rious damage to a Claremont city street around noon when he lost control of his vehicle. The Claremont youth was al- legedly trying to avoid a rock in the road on Arrow Highway near Geneva Av- enue, when he collided with a fire hy- drant and knocked down a light pole. Despite the seriousness of the accident, the young man was unharmed. * * * * An electricians work truck looked ap- pealing to a thief who just couldnt help himself to the workers tools. The white Ford truck was parked in the victims driveway on the 200 block of Piedmont Avenue when an unknown suspect un- locked the chests on the back of the truck and made off with $3,250 in tools. Saturday, June 21 The party ended early for a 17-year- old Ontario boy after providing false identification to police who had re- sponded to a noise complaint. Around 12:30 a.m., officers observed around 50 minors, many of whom appeared to be in possession of or consuming alcohol, in the backyard and in the home located on the 400 block of Bonaventure Av- enue. Police located the homeowner, who appeared to be unaware of the party going on. Police arrested and issued a ci- tation to the underage party-goer and then transported him home to his mother. Sunday, June 22 While a Good Samaritan would return a wallet found on a store counter, it prompted one Claremont resident to commit petty theft. The victim was grab- bing a coffee at Starbucks located inside Vons on the 500 block of Base Line Road when she realized her wallet was missing. Police used in-store electronic means to identify 45-year-old Muna Bas- Baas as the thief. Officers issued a search warrant on her residence and recovered the stolen property. Ms. BasBaas was ar- rested and released on $20,000 bail. Angela Bailey news@claremont-courier.com Claremont COURIER/Friday, June 27, 2014 4 POLICE BLOTTER CITY NEWS The councilman suffered two cracked vertebrae in his neck, a fractured nose and deep lacerations to his face. Although his injuries were serious, it could have been much worse. I was close to being paralyzed and the helmet on my head saved my life, Mr. Pedroza said, emphasizing to the attendees, Always wear your hel- met! As a result of his accident, Mr. Pedroza used some left-over campaign money and started Sams Lids, a pro- gram offering free helmets for cyclists in need. Team- ing up with Coates Cyclery in Pomona and the Rotary Club of Claremont, Sams Lids has given away around 50 free helmets to date. If youre in need of a helmet or would like to donate to this cause, please contact Tom Shelley at (909) 496-8431. Operating a bicycle requires the same skills as driving a motor vehicle. Riders are expected to obey all traffic signals and signs, never pass on the right of another ve- hicle and never needlessly block a traffic lane. More often than not, motorists are going to avoid you, Mr. Frieson told the class. Be assertive of your position in the road and youre going to be okay. Claremonters are fortunate to have many bike lanes throughout the city although there are still many non- shareable and narrow lanes. If a bicycle lane is not avail- able, cyclists should stay at least five feet from parked cars and ride in the far right lane. Protecting your bike The increasing popularity of bicycling as a sport and as a means of transportation has made bicycles an easy target for thieves. Last year, 118 bikes were reported stolen in Claremont and nowhere are bicycle thefts more prevalent than around college campuses. Registering your bicycle on a national bike database and purchasing a strong lock are just two things you can do to protect yourself from becoming a victim of bike theft. Many bicycles are easily stolen because the owner just plain failed to lock it up. Your first line of defense against theft is storing your bicycle in a secure location with a good lock. Bike owners need a quality lock, not just a cable lock, advises Claremont Police Lieutenant Mike Ciszek. Cable locks can be easily compromised. The best choice is a strong, reliable U-lock. Jax Bicycle Center in the Village offers a wide range of U-locks starting at $45, but recommends the Kryp- tonite KryptoLock with the additional 4-inch cable that secures the bikes wheels to the frame. Riders need to protect their wheels, too, Jax em- ployee Sean Ranallo explained. Youd be surprised how many people come in here with a $200 bike and are shocked when it costs $100 to replace a stolen wheel. If its a front wheel youll need a new wheel with an inner tube, a new tire and a new rim strip. If its a rear wheel, youll also have the gears to replace. If you lock your wheels with your bike frame, thieves are going to have a harder time stealing them. The National Bike Registry (NBR) recommends combining a cable and a solid steel U-lock, or even two U-locks, when securing a bicycle. Always lock the bike in a visible, well-lighted area to a fixed, immovable ob- ject like a bike rack. If you have a multi-speed bike, leav- ing it in the highest gear will make it much harder for a thief to shift quickly and get away. The more time and trouble it takes a thief to get to your bike, the less likely that it will be stolen. Since 1984, the National Bike Registry has been working with law enforcement to return stolen bikes to their owners. A bicycle registered with a national data- base can be identified by police and returned to the owner instead of being sold at an auction. For $10 for 10 years, you will be provided with a Certificate of Regis- tration and a tamper-resistant NBR label to identify your bike should it ever be stolen and recovered. A family registration fee of $25 is also an option and will cover up to five bicycles at a single address for 10 years. You can register at www.nationalbikeregistry.com. Future bicycle safety classes will be held at the Hughes Center on the third Thursday of the month in July and August. The classes are free and will be open to kids from fourth grade and up to adults. Be sure to check the COURIER calendar for future dates and times. Angela Bailey news@claremont-courier.com COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff Tom Shelley demonstrates how to do a pre-ride safety inspection on a bicycle during a safety class last Thurs- day at the Hughes Center. The class addressed rider safety, rules of the road and bicycle maintenance. BICYCLE SAFETY/continued from previous page C laremont Affordable Water Advo- cates (CAWA) made a splash ear- lier this month when the unknown citizens group entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Golden State Water Company, putting them smack dab in the middle of a water fight thats consumed Claremont for years. Many residents and city officials speculated the group didnt really exist, a few even suggesting that perhaps CAWA was concocted by Golden State Water in an eleventh-hour bid to prevent a proposed water revenue bond measure by city council from going to a vote. But CAWA does exist and they want to be taken seriously. Spearheaded by Claremont resident Donna Lowe, a businesswoman who ran for State Assembly in the 41st district in 2012 and founded the Claremont Conserva- tives Tea Party, CAWA members are an eclectic mix of lawyers, sales people, business owners, consultants and retired folks who, according to Ms. Lowe, dont have a degree in city politics. What they do have in common is a genuine belief that cooperating and collaborating with Golden State Water Company is far better for residents than an eminent do- main fight over Claremonts water system. We want everyone to realize there are alternatives, CAWA member Bruce Cathcart explained. The rates can be controlled and we dont have to have the city do itthey dont know how to do it. The grassroots effort began many months ago when Ms. Lowe, a Claremont resident since 2000, was in northern California for business and met with Golden State Water (GSW) representatives to discuss the water system acquisition. I was in Sacramento and I met with Mitch Zak and Julie Hooper, explains Ms. Lowe of her talk with the two representatives of Randle Communications, a pub- lic relations firm that represents GSW. I said to them, I really want to learn more. I wanted to know what was going on before the city moved forward with an eminent domain seizure. They explained to me their position and the efforts they put forth with the city. It just made sense. Following that meeting, Ms. Lowe began assembling CAWA members, people shed worked with previously in other organizations and efforts, who began gathering information about what had transpired between the city and GSW. According to Mr. Cathcart, the group wanted to hear more from the water company and its plans for Claremonts water sys- tem from someone other than the city. Golden State introduced us to the vice president, they brought out their PR guys who talked with us and they showed us documents from CPUC meetings, Mr. Cath- cart said. They (GSW) seemed credible and had wanted to work with a citizens group but werent getting any co- operation. In March, CAWA began holding meetings with about a dozen people in attendance and the citizens group agreed to partner with GSW to allow residents to under- stand that there is another option. Denise Kruger came to my house on several occa- sions to talk about some of the issues and concerns sur- rounding the water system, Ms. Lowe said. We came up with a first draft and, two months later, is the MOU you have that was presented to the city council. CAWAs decision to get involved with the water issue and work alongside Golden State to try to solve issues regarding water supply and costs wasnt a hard one to make for the group members. Several of us go to city council meetings on a regu- lar basis and we started following the citys desire to take control of the water system, Mr. Cathcart said. We looked into the situation and we didnt think the city was actually doing anything. They werent negotiating in good faith or participating in public CPUC (California Public Utility Commission) hearings. And then the city started complaining that GSW wasnt cooperating and we didnt see that. The citys purported lack of participation in the 2013- 2015 rate-making process appears to be the catalyst to the group questioning the citys plan for seizure of the water system. I was shocked to learn that the city didnt participate in the CPUC hearings. They showed up to the first one, but never showed up again, Ms. Lowe says. I was happy they brought the water price issues to light but dis- appointed they didnt show up. Thats when the first red flag went up for me. The city of Claremont refutes this claim, stating that staff began protesting proposed rate increases in July of 2011 when it retained legal counsel to represent Clare- mont in the General Rate Case. The interests of the ratepayers were represented in the General Rate Case proceedings by the Division of Ratepayers Advocates, the advocacy arm of the CPUC, the city said. The cities of Claremont, Placentia, Cy- press, Stanton, Apple Valley and Barstow intervened in the proceedings. Further, Claremont staff organized a public hearing with the administrative law judge at Taylor Hall in Clare- mont in December of 2011. More than 400 residents at- tended and presented comments to the judge. During the rate case proceedings, the city states it submitted testi- mony and rebuttal evidence and, with assistance from the local group Claremonters Against Outrageous Water Rates, collected residents protest letters, which were sent to the CPUC commissioners. As a public agency, the CPUC claims that it depends on public input to make informed decisions that consider the impact of utility costs and services. Next month, CAWA plans to participate in the CPUC public hearings as an intervenor, a position supported by Golden State. Were going to be a third party, witnessing and par- ticipating in the hearings. We will know first-hand if the city is participating in these things or not, explains Mr. Cathcart. Ms. Lowe believes residents need to get wise to the citys changing water needs and evolve. What we need to understand, first and foremost, is that we live in a desert. We act as though we do not, Ms. Lowe said. Do I love the trees? Absolutely. But times are changing. Were in a drought. Landscaping, planting trees that are not indigenous, that comes with a cost and we need to get wise to it. It just boggles my mind. New housing developments are another concern of the group. Now weve got all these high-density, affordable housing projects, which will require even more water with no apparent regard to water consequences. Its a vi- cious cycle and turning over the water company to Clare- mont isnt going to fix it, she added. Mr. Cathcart doesnt feel the city is truly receptive to working with an outside group to find a resolution. Our relationship with the city is more adversarial than collegial, and we dont feel it should be like that, he says. They should have an open mind. If we can get a better deal, they shouldnt be in opposition to it just because it wasnt their idea. The city maintains that it is open to discussion with Golden State on the 20-point Memorandum of Under- standing. As Mayor Lyons previously stated, If Golden State Water is serious about working with the city on real solutions, our door is open. Angela Bailey news@claremont-courier.com Claremont COURIER/Friday, June 27, 2014 5 CITY NEWS Report card error causes confusion for El Roble Intermediate School families A number of El Roble families got a surprise last week when they opened their kids report card and found another students marks printed on the opposite side of the grade sheet. The occurrence was inadvertent and due to a clerical error, according to Claremont Unified School District Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services Bonnie Bell. The double-sided report card was sent to about half of the students at the local intermediate school. The other half of El Roble students did not receive a report card at the scheduled time. As is the case in so many office snafus, it started with some tricky technology. The printer usually used to cre- ate report cards was acting up, so the person tasked with printing the grade sheets sent the documents to a remote printer, according to Ms. Bell. Unbeknownst to the staffer, the remote printer was set to double-sided mode. Perhaps the oversight would have been caught if re- port cards were stuffed into envelopes by hand. The process, however, is automatic. When a notification is sent to students homes, district personnel take the batches as they come off the printer and place them di- rectly into a folding and stuffing machine. Inadvertent or not, the resulting disclosure is in viola- tion of the federal Family Educational Rights and Pri- vacy Act (FERPA). The law requires that schools ask for written consent before disclosing a students personal in- formation to individuals other than a parent or guardian. Protected records include report cards and their accom- panying teacher comments, transcripts, class schedules, disciplinary records and contact and family information. The district became aware of the error on June 19, the day the report cards were received or, in the case of half of El Robles students, the day they did not arrive. The COURIER became aware of the situation because a staff member has two boys at El Roble. One of the boys received a double-sided report card and the other did not get his grades at all. Luckily, since they share the same last name, the double-sided report card contained the two brothers grades. No harm, no foul for this family. How- ever, the local newspaper received several phone calls about the situation from El Roble parents and also fol- lowed a vigorous Facebook thread about the mix-up. The district acted quickly after learning of the error. El Roble families were contacted by telephone and email and apprised of the situation. Those who received report cards were asked to destroy them and were no- tified that a corrected copy of their childs report card would be forthcoming shortly. New report cards were printed and mailed out at what Ms. Bell said was little expense, given that the district benefits from bulk mail rates. In some cases where FERPA has been violated, high schools and colleges have opted to notify the Depart- ment of Education of the oversight. CUSD contacted their attorneys, asking what they should do, and were told it was not necessary to bring the situation to the DOEs attention. The problem has been remedied to the best of the dis- tricts ability, they said. Some struggling students, how- ever, may be nervous about who, besides their parents, has been privy to their low marks. It is the first time that the district has violated student privacy laws in this way since she came to the district four years ago, Ms. Bell said. Sarah Torribio storribio@claremont-courier.com Claremont group teams up with Golden State Water EDUCATION WATER A few years ago, I took a simple, small ferry trip along the backwa- ters of Kerala in Southern India to an ashram, where I spent the night and continued on another ferry further south. Along the way, we passed beautifully thatch-covered boats with people lounging in what seemed like luxury to me. I longed to do just thatlounge on a covered boat cruising along the canals and watching the life on the shores as we passed by. And so this past January my desires were made real as my friend Barbara and I booked an overnight trip on one of these covered rice boats. The boat came with a driver, a cook, a bedroom and bathroom and a covered front deck to lounge on, eat on and generally just watch the world on the Ker- alan backwaters pass by us as we floated on the water- ways. We arrived in Fort Cochin in Kerala, a lovely small town filled with everything a tourist could want; inex- pensive guest houses, good food, the old Chinese fish- ing nets on the shore, which create lovely large triangular shapes even though they are hardly used for fishing anymore. There are lovely parks where young- sters play sports after school, great shopping, and auto rickshaws to take you anywhere. After a few enjoyable days, we drove down to the town of Alleppy to stay in a small guest house for a night and through the owner we hired a rice boat for a 24-hour trip of sailing on the backwaters. We had just settled down in our room when we heard some music and a lot of drumming that continued to get louder and louder. Being curious, we ventured outside and saw that a crowd of people had gathered next door to our guest house, which we then realized was a small Hindu temple. Joining the crowd, we pushed up to the surrounding wall and watched as a large group of young men were helping each other put on orange lungis (similar to a sarong) and then, in smaller groups, they poured buck- ets of water over their heads, all this to the pounding of drums. We saw one young man taking a very long metal spike and sticking it through the tongue of the now wet lungi wearer then securing a lemon on each side of the tongue. The young man began to prance and dance about and soon was joined by many others, each proudly holding the ends of their metal spikes and dancing faster and faster as the drumming grew louder and louder. Our landlord said that he was a Christian and did not know what was happening or why. No one else around seemed to speak English, so we never did learn what it was about. But as quickly as it began, it ended as the entire group danced and drummed out of the temple grounds and down the street to the next temple. It was quite an amazing experience to have witnessed. For dinner, we were directed to a restaurant on the beach and we arrived over bumpy roads in a rickshaw. We climbed up rickety stairs and sat at a table over- looking the beach bathed in the setting sun while peo- ple strolled up and down by the sand. It was what I ate that was so memorable. I ordered Singapore chili crab. A beautiful sweetly spicy red crab dish arrived, which I had to eat with my hands as it was the only way I could get to the crab meat out. So I slurped and chewed and crushed shells with my sharp teeth, enjoying every mo- ment. The next day, I noticed that my fingers were red and they stayed red for many days. I wondered what I had eaten in that crab dish that dyed my hands so well. Early the next morning, a driver came and took us to our boat. There are many types of boats to choose from, each a different size and style ranging from rather simple to totally luxurious. Our boat was simpler but was very comfortable. We were welcomed on the boat with a fruit drink and soon took off down one of the waterways. Our driver sat on a chair in the front and we just sat quietly watching life sail by us. Houses of all colors and shapes and sizes line the sides of the water. There are also small shops and a few snack bars as well as temples and churches every so often. Behind the houses we could often see rice fields. Trees lined the paths where children walked to and from school with school bags on their backs. Goats and chickens lounged and roamed about, and men and women walked mostly barefoot carrying huge loads on their heads. In front of the houses, men and women washed themselves discreetly or scrubbed pots and pans after a meal. Every so often, one could hear the loud slap, slap of clothes being pounded on the rocks that lined the water as the laundry was being done. Small boats criss-crossed the water from side-to-side selling and delivering goods and ferrying people from one side to the other, as well as fishing. We watched quietly and then our lunch was served at the table on the porch. It was a huge spread, far more than we could ever eat just the two of us. The food was beautifully prepared. We had fresh fried river fish, rice, dhal (lentils), and a great selection of various vegetable dishes. With all that food, we were lucky we didnt have anywhere to go. And then, just a short time later, it was tea time, where tea and banana-stuffed pancakes were served. Before that could be totally digested, it was dinner time and another fish and vegetable spread was put before us. We did our best to try everything and enjoyed it all. The boat stopped for the night by the side of the water and another few boats tied up next to us. The bedroom was comfortable and we slept well. In the morning, we were served a full breakfast. The best part was the fruit plate of pineapple slices in a heart shape and decorated with tangerine slices. At one point while sailing, we ventured away from the inhabited river area and sailed around a vast lake for a few hours. We passed other boats, some small and many quite large filled with happy people and often with music. We all photographed each other and danced as we passed, waving and feeling happy and in a holiday mood. After breakfast, our boat began the return trip and we were back and tied up by 9 a.m. We were soon picked up by our driver and taken back to the guest house and ultimately back to Fort Cochin for the night. For quite some time, it had been a dream of mine to just be on a rice boat and sail the backwaters for a bit of relaxing luxury with nothing to do but observe and enjoy. It is so satisfying when one can fulfill a dream and be happy with the outcome. It turned out to be eas- ily arranged and with one call we had a guest house stay, a driver and car and a boat for a very reasonable price. I was one satisfied customer.

Claremont COURIER/Friday, June 27, 2014 7 OUR TOWN Future generations will look back at the time we are living in now. The kind of future they look from, and the story they tell about our period, will be shaped by choices we make in our lifetimes. Joanna Macy and Chris Johnstone, Active Hope G lobal warming: what an oppres- sive topic this has been to me. Im not one to hide from the newsI read, I see, I worry. Every day, in the United States, 80 million tons of CO2 get pumped into the atmosphere, driving planet temperatures higher and creating ever-increasing bad news about rising oceans, extreme weather, loss of speciesall of which, if left unchecked, will bring a great deal of suffering. I recently saw the movie Chasing Ice, which shows glaciers melting at an ever-increasing pace, sliding into the sea. And I know that 97 percent of all scientists agree that global warming is the result of human activity. My grandchildren look at the grownups around them with such trust! They cant know that the quality of their future lives depends on their grownups acting nowthat in a few years it will be too late to make much difference. But reading as I do has not just acquainted me with the bad news. I have also learned about many of the creative and courageous organizations that have sprung up around the globe to take on one or another of the challenges brought on by climate change. For the past year I have been a part of one of these: a fast- growing national movement that is promoting a plan that they believe will make a significant cut in green- house gases. Citizens Climate Lobby (CCL) is working on a single project, based on ideas of economists and cli- mate scientists: to get a fee placed on carbon-based fuelscoal, gas and oilall major sources of the problem. A fee on carbon, rising slowly over a num- ber of years, say economists and CCL members, will give businesses as well as individuals motivation to spend money differentlyspend less on products and fuels that contain carbon, more on products and fuels that dont. They also point out that a rising fee on carbon would provide renewable fuels with a level playing field, and would stimulate innovation in a variety of related fields. For information, visit citizensclimatelobby.org. The added costs consumers would pay, with a car- bon fee in place, would not be great (especially if compared to the high costs everyone will face if no corrective action is taken). Nonetheless, CCLs plan would return all the money raised by the fee to Amer- ican households, thereby offsetting any higher con- sumer costs. British Columbia initiated a carbon fee plan in 2008. Since then the province has experienced a 15.1 percent drop in fuel consumption and a 9.9 percent decline in greenhouse gas emissions. The fee has re- mained revenue-neutral (has actually resulted in a net benefit for taxpayers) and the GDP has been unaf- fected. Finland, Sweden, Great Britain, New Zealand, Quebec, Australia and Ireland have initiated carbon fees or variations on the plan. There are hundreds of Citizens Climate Lobby chapters now across the United States, as well as in Canada and a few other countries. Now there is one more CCL chapter: our own Inland Valley Citizens Climate Lobby branch had its start-up gathering May 31. Inland Valley CCL will meet the first Saturday of every month at the Monte Vista Unitarian Universal- ist Congregation, 9185 Monte Vista Ave. in Mont- clair. All are welcome.

New group takes on global warming gases by Dave Lutz Demystifying SUSTAINABILITY Claremont COURIER/Friday, June 27, 2014 8 T he Kiwanis Club of Claremont recently hit a major milestone. The club celebrated its 90th year of undertaking projects that en- hance the lives of local chil- dren and families. The activities of the service club, which aims to change the world one community and one child at a time, will be particularly visible in the com- ing weeks as Claremont prepares for its Fourth of July Celebration and its an- nual Monday Night Concerts in the Park series. On Friday, July 4, a slew of Kiwani- ans will gather at Memorial Park from 7 to 10 a.m. to serve up their perenni- ally popular pancake breakfast. Longtime Kiwanian Paul Wheeler is continuing a family legacy with his membership. His great-grandfather was a member of Claremonts Kiwanis Club. His grandfather was president of the group at one time and so was his fa- ther. Mr. Wheeler also served as presi- dent in the 1980s. When youve been in an association long enough, you learn some of its se- crets. The trick to the light fluffy pan- cakes the club turns out by the hundreds on July 4 is adding half-beer and half- water to the mix, Mr. Wheeler shared. If he wasnt supposed to expose that recipe, he will be duly punished at the next Kiwanis meeting. At the clubs gatherings, held at noon on Thursdays at St. Ambrose Church, members are gently ribbed and fined for any number of infractions, ranging from buying a new car to appearing in the newspaper. The lighthearted nature of the fines, the payment of which goes straight to- wards the Kiwanis Clubs philanthropic programs, is evident in an account of a recent meeting written up in the Clare- mont Kiwanis bulletin: Jim Covey fined Carl Gaiser because he stood by the front door and met everybody with, Hi, Im the Secret GreeterAndre Ellis was fined for wearing a spiffy hat, having no name badge, and for being late. His defenseThe train stopped me!was met with, Tell it to the jury. After the last drop of syrup from the Independence Day pancake breakfast has been mopped up, Kiwanis Club members will reconvene at Pomona College and set up a snack bar so guests can enjoy some grub during the evening fireworks show. If you think volunteers find it painful to work on a holiday, think again. Its very festive and everyone is just in such a good mood. Its fun, Kiwan- ian Penny Myrdal said. Three days later, the Kiwanis Club will be back in full force, setting up a snack bar at the inaugural Monday Night Concert in the Park. While the classic rock group The Ravelers make the Memorial Park bandshell reverber- ate, some 20 volunteers will sell burg- ers, hot dogs, nachos, popcorn, drinks and frozen yogurt donated by 21 Choices. Its a lot of work but its very re- warding, Kiwanis President Ed Leavell said. The local Kiwanians fund the concert series, which has been known to draw as many as 5,000 people. The club also paid for the construction of the band- shell, which was built with the help of local high school students. The performances, where youre sure to spot someone you know, are a win- win, according to Mr. Wheeler. The bands love it because there are 3,000 or 4,000 screaming people, and it bolsters the fabric of the community, he said. Its what makes Claremont Claremont. After the concerts conclude with the classic rock group The Answer on Sep- tember 1, it will be time for another sig- nature fundraiser. Tickets are already on sale through brownpapertickets.com for the annual Kiwanis Club of Claremont Route 66 Party. The event, which costs $40 in ad- vance and $45 at the door, is set for September 19 at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Claremont. Beginning at 6 p.m., there will be dinner, dancing, live music by the Ravelers, casino games, a silent auction and an opportunity draw- ing. For more information, visit www.claremontkiwanis.org. Claremont Kiwanians know something about community service KIWANIS TURNS 90/next page COURIER photos/Steven Felschundneff Kathy Hatcher prepares nachos at the Kiwanis Club food booth during a Monday night concert in the park last summer. The club recently celebrated its 90th year of service to Claremont. A few months later, between Thanks- giving and Christmas, the Kiwanians will set up a store along the Foothill corridor, somewhere between Towne Avenue and Indian Hill, where they sell Sees candies. Proceeds from the fundraisers will fund next years concerts and an array of programs intended to give a boost to local kids. This year, the Kiwanis club pre- sented graduates from Claremont and San Antonio high schools with the Stan Larson Scholarship. This years CHS recipients included Karen Chen, who is heading for Tulane University, Sarah Jonny, who has been accepted at UC Riverside and Jynelle Harrison Kelly, who will attend Citrus College. San Antonio High School had two scholar- ship recipients: Nautika Clemons, who plans to attend the Borough of Manhat- tan Community College, and Isabella Reyes, who is going to Citrus. It is the gift that keeps on giving. Each recipient will get a $750 check for each of the next four years. Members of the Kiwanis Club of Claremont also participate in the Read Me program. Not only do they read a book aloud to preschoolers at local ele- mentary schools. They bring enough copies so that each child can take the book home. Kids in the CUSD come from a wide array of socio-economic backgrounds. For some young learners, books they get through the Read Me program constitute the bulk of their per- sonal library. Its a really nice program that we do, Mr. Leavell said. Jerry Feingold, who has been a member of the Kiwanis Club of Clare- mont for seven years, agreed. Over the last nine years, we have donated over 95,000 books to the read- ing program, he said. We figure weve read to more than 70,000 chil- dren. Kiwanians also help out with Habitat for Humanity, fund the monthly senior food bank at the Joslyn Senior Center and buy backpacks to hold shoes, socks and school supplies for Shoes That Fits yearly back-to-school campaign. The Kiwanis Club of Claremont also con- tributes money to the citys Best Bet program, which provides mini-grants to CUSD teachers with ideas for innova- tive school programs. Any way you look at it, thats a whole lot of good. Kiwanis meetings, which typically draw between 40 to 50 attendees, in- clude lunch tastefully prepared by local caterers Gayle Jensen and Kim Mc- Curdy. At each gathering, someone gives a 20-minute talk. At the last meet- ing, Chris Varma, owner of Claremonts Wild Birds Unlimited, expounded with enthusiasm on The Top Ten Most Com- mon Backyard Birds. Some news is shared and dollars are extracted from members who are deemed in need of punishment, for in- stance someone who went on vacation and failed to bring back souvenirs for the entire club. Ms. Myrdal has come to love the camaraderie. Its the friendliness of everyone, she marveled. Ive never experienced any tension. Everyone gets along. For Mr. Wheeler, being a part of a service group like Kiwanis is second nature. Claremonters have a high amount of volunteerism, he said. Giving back and helping out is what we do.

He was 77. Mr. Simon was born in Norristown, Pennsylvania in 1936 to Pattie and William Walter Simon and was the youngest of 14 brothers and sisters. He graduated from Norristown High in 1954, and soon enrolled in the Army Air Force Reserve for active duty. He served three years in an army hospital as an intern. Thereafter, he completed training with the 4th guided missile bat- talion of the US forces, that prepared troops to deploy with the Nike Ajax anti-aircraft system. Mr. Simon was a fan and a jubilant participant in many sports, including basketball, football and track. With a Palm Springs delegation, he went to Amsterdam to compete in the 1998 Gay Games. He was also a versatile entertainer he sang, danced and acted on the stage and in film and television. He played several instruments and sang with a band. He was startlingly handsome, his loved ones noted; he also had a great speaking voice and an athletic body. Add to this a charismatic personality, which gave him a great stage presence. He acted in theaters across the country from New York to Palo Alto, San Jose and San Francisco. His best roles were as Prospero in The Tempest, Stanley Kowalski in A Streetcar Named De- sire and Randall in Slow Dance on a Killing Ground. Multitudinous TV and cinema credits are on his IMDB.com page. Notable were two episodes of Julia of 1973, and a role as an impor- tant extra in the Charles Bronson film, The Stone Killer. As an art historian, Mr. Simon was the registrar of the Leland Stanford Jun- ior Museum from 1964 to 1970. In 1976, he served as author of the cata- logue raisonn for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art landmark trav- eling exhibit Two Centuries of Black American Art, writing the biographic entries for each artist and the object de- scriptions in the catalogue. In her 2011 book, Exhibiting Black- ness: African Americans and the American Art Museum, Bridget R. Cooks writes that the exhibits curator, David C. Driskell, selected Mr. Simon as his research assistant because of his comprehensive grasp of art history. In a 1986 Los Angeles Times article, Palette of Passion from Black Artists, Mr. Simon reflected on how, for black artists, art was about more than self-ex- pression. During the 60s, black artists used their creativity as a vehicle for social change, he emphasized. Black artists, previously able to show their work in black museums and galleries only, let the cultural Establishment know about their art. They were saying, Our civil rights allow us to be artists too. You have to understand that even if our art is different, even if were wearing Afros and corn rows. He was an instructor in the Ethnic Studies Department of UC Riverside for nine years, teaching classes like black art history. And from 1977 to 1980, he was a deputy director of the California Fine Arts Council. He was also active socially and politi- cally. He was jailed at age 18 for demonstrating during the 1955 bus boy- cott of Martin Luther King Jr. in Mont- gomery, Alabama. He was also involved in the 1960 Woolworth lunch counter sit-ins in Greensboro. While demon- strating against the department stores policy of racial segregation, he was spat at and arrested. For over a year, he was in a jail where he was badly beaten sev- eral times. This sordid experience left a deep mark on his soul. From 1975 to 1976, he was the hous- ing consultant of the Watts Community Housing Corp., which erected a 40-unit housing complex plus a recreation building in Watts veritably on the ruins of the 1965 riot. He was an officer of Black And White Men Together and a force in the Los Angeles Leader Confer- ence, which organized citywide units dispensing AIDS information, advice and care long before the state of Califor- nia acted to combat and ameliorate the effects of the epidemic. Leonard is survived by his spouse, Gerald M. Ackerman, with whom he shared 52 happy years of life, and by four generations of adoring nieces and nephews. A celebration of Mr. Simons life will take place on Sunday, July 27 at 5 p.m. in Bridges Hall of Music on the campus of Pomona College (150 E. Fourth St. in Claremont). A reception will be held af- terwards in Lebus Court, directly behind Bridges Hall of Music. In lieu of flowers, Mr. Simons family asks that you consider a donation to one of his favorite causes,Doctors Without Borders. Claremont COURIER/Friday, June 27, 2014 11 OBITUARIES David Eugene Stikkers of Grand Junction, Colorado died May 23, 2014 after a long illness. He was 47. Mr. Stikkers was born in Chowchilla, California on April 12, 1967 to Don and Pat Stikkers. After attending Mark Twain and Albert Michelson elemen- tary schools in Calaveras County, he at- tended El Roble Intermediate and graduated from Claremont High School in 1985. He played for the Wolfpack and was on the 1984 CIF championship team. He received the league Scholar Athlete Award. He went on to Claremont McKenna College where he played football for the Stags. He received a bachelors degree in management and civil engineering from CMC and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. After a few years working for Sierra Pacific Power in Reno, he went on to receive a masters degree and PhD in engineering and public policy from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He met Katherine Bahnsen in Pittsburgh and they were married there in 2001. Their son, Ryan, was born in Alexandria, Vir- ginia on January 2008. Mr. Stikkers traveled to many far-off places over the years. When at CMC, he spent several weeks in Italy with other NCAA Division III football (not soccer)players from around the United States playing Italian teams. He partici- pated in an Earth Watch trip to Lake Baikal in Siberia for study of micro- fauna to establish water pollution base- line data. He took two trips to Alaska with Kurt Aluzas, a high school friend working there as a wildlife biologist. They took a weeklong canoe trip down a river in the Brooks Range in the Gates of the Arctic National Park. On another trip, they went kayaking on the inside passage near Wrangell, Alaska. Another trip found him backpacking in the wilderness in Tasmania. After he married Katherine, she joined him on an Earth Watch trip to study rare foxes on the pampas of Argentina. Mr. Stikkers was a policy analyst at the Government Accountability Office in Washington, DC when he was diag- nosed with Frontal Temporal Degenera- tion. He was also an Elder at the Farlington Presbyterian Church in Alexandria, Virginia. Mr. Stikkers is survived by his wife, Katherine Stikkers, and son Ryan of Poughkeepsie, New York; by his par- ents, Don and Pat Stikkers of Grand Junction, Colorado; by his brother, Dan Stikkers of Anaheim Hills, and by his sister, Elizabeth Stikkers of San Fran- cisco. A memorial service is scheduled for 2 p.m. on July 26, 2014 at Claremont Presbyterian Church, 1111 N. Mountain Ave. in Claremont. A reception at the church will follow. The family suggests that in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions be made to The Association for Frontal Temporal Degeneration by visiting www.theAFTD.org.

Claremont COURIER/Friday, June 27, 2014 13 I f Maria Dancing Heart Hoaglund has one message to offer, it is this: Death is nothing to be afraid of. Its a conclu- sion she has reached through personal ex- perience, through years as a hospice worker and through countless hours contemplating a phenomenon that many people would rather ignore. Americans tend to treat dying as an unnatural occur- rence as opposed to something we will all eventually face, Ms. Hoaglund said. Often when someone is termi- nally ill, their loved ones feel uncomfortable addressing the elephant in the roomthat the person is on the brink of death. People tiptoe around it, she said. I would say some- times the dying are dying to talk about death. Ms. Hoaglund, who was set to speak on Thursday at the Village Grille about Making Friends with the Last Adventure of Life, has written a book intended to help people who are dying and people who are poised to lose someone they love deal with a transition that is as daunt- ing as it is inevitable. Her book, The Last Adventure of Life: Inspiring Approaches to Living and Dying, is available for purchase at Buddhamouse Emporium, 134 Yale Ave. in Claremont. Her book explains the concept of hospice, care during the last weeks and months of a persons life that is aimed at physical and emotional comfort rather than at treat- ment of a condition that has progressed too far to heal. The book gives advice on how to connect in a mean- ingful way with a person who is dying and to help pro- vide as much joy as possible during their waning days. Small pleasures can really help lift someones spirits, even when they are on their deathbed. So often at the end of life, people arent eating. The family wants to feed them, she said. You can feed their senses with music, touch and scent. Many spiritual coun- selors do nails for loved ones or rub their feet. Watch- ing a comedy, telling a joke or even engaging in some black humor about someones deteriorating condition can also be in order. Id say humor is very important, certainly for patients and family. [Hospice] workers need comic relief too to put everything in perspective, she said. People do take the end of life pretty seriously. When you are helping to care for someone who is dying, its important to remember to care for yourself as well, Ms. Hoaglund asserts. You take on a lot of other emotions without even thinking about it, she said. Whatever your religion or spiritual orientation, prayer as well as a conviction there is something after death that we dont just stop cold when our heart ceases to beatcan help take much of the terror out of death. In The Last Adventure of Life, Ms. Hoaglund offers inspiration and prayers from many sources. She also has accounts from people she has worked with who have ex- perienced insights, dreams and visions that have reas- sured them that the person whose death they are grieving is very much present and very much at peace. If you are squeamish about death, it might help to look to the traditions of other cultures. Rather than avoiding the subject, it is traditional among some Native Ameri- can tribes to dedicate the three days before and after someones death as a time to visit, for some respectful quiet and a period in which to honor the spirit. The Mexican culture also does a good job of facing death with, strange as it may sound, festivity. During the annual Day of the Dead celebration, people build color- ful altars honoring the deceased and in some cases pic- nic right next to a loved ones grave. They tidy up the burial site and give offerings of food, drink, flowers, can- dles and items meant to please the spirits who are be- lieved to make an el Dia de los Muertos visit. Ms. Hoaglund, who lives in Sedona, is an attractive woman, with long gray hair and a serene smile. She wears long skirts and crystal jewelry, garb thatpardon the stereotypedenotes a New Age approach to spiritu- ality. While metaphysics has become an increasing focus for Ms. Hoaglund, it has been a long journey from her straight-laced upbringing in the Lutheran Church to en- tertaining metaphysical ideas such as discarnate souls, energy healing and a recent boom in the birth of highly gifted, highly sensitive Indigo Children. Ms. Hoaglund had worked for 10 years as a parish minister in the United Church of Christ. When the joy went out of her work, she began questioning her path and engaging in introspective activities such as meditation. One day, a single word came to her: hospice. Whether it was a subconscious message or a telegraph from the uni- verse, she took the cue and became a hospice worker. Her mothers death prepared her somewhat for the sense of loss that accompanies death and for the physi- cal aspects of the process. Her mother took great pleas- ure in the quality time she spent with her daughter and the rest of her family in those final days, making the expe- rience rewarding as well as difficult. Nothing was horrific, she said. It was very peace- ful and gradual. Even in the case of a sudden or ugly death, Ms. Hoaglund says a persons final breath is as much a part of life as their first. She firmly believes that there is an af- terlife. And she is convinced that dying has its own sa- credness. At such a time, most people reflect on the true mean- ing in life, which brings out their beauty and strength. It is a time of deep connections.

Sanitation fee increase goes into effect July 1 The city of Claremont will put into effect a 1 (one) percent increase in santiation fees for Claremont resi- dents on Tuesday, July 1. According to the latest city managers report, based on current 2014-15 budget projections for the Sanita- tion Fund, an increase of 1 percent is necessary to sustain operations of the citys sanitation system. This increase is consistent with the March Consumer Price Index increase for the Los Angeles area. The fee in- crease amounts to approximately 20 to 45 cents per month for a typical single-family customer. In addition to the 1 percent increase, city council directed staff to incorporate fee changes recom- mended by the Sanitation Operations Ad Hoc Com- mittee, including raising rates for elective services such as off-street service, bin off-street service and dumpster rentals. The city council approved the in- crease on the fees at the May 13 council meeting fol- lowing a public hearing. For information, contact the Community Services Department at (909) 399-5433.

Vom Fass offers up grill tips V om Fass invites family and friends to celebrate summer with refreshing drinks, salads and grilled sides. Whether you are hosting a pic- nic, a barbecue, an informal gathering or a formal cocktail party, Vom Fass is one place in Claremont that has you covered. Here are some helpful tips for your Fourth of July festivities and summer entertaining: Red Wine Herb Garlic Steak Marinade Ingredients: 4 oz. VOM FASS Spanish Red Wine Vingre Viejo 4 oz. VOM FASS Herb Garlic Oil 1 shallot, minced teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon cracked black peppercorns 2 bay leaves, crushed Preparation: Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Add steaks. Cover and let marinade in refrigera- tor for 1 to 24 hours, depending on preference and type of steak. More tender cuts should marinade for less time, while tougher cuts will require more time. Grilling Tips From Vom Fass Here are a few helpful pointers for grilling meats to perfection this summer. Foods that cook quickly on the grill, such as steaks or fish, only need a small quantity of charcoal. Don't light too much charcoal at once, to ensure that it gets enough oxygen. If your grill has ventilation holes, they should be open for roughly 14-20 min- utes, until a layer of gray ash has formed on the hot coals. Ensure that your barbecue meat is al- ways kept at room temperature. Other- wise, the outside will brown very quickly while the inside may be still cold and raw. Frozen or cured meat should not be used for grilling. It is important to keep an eye on the coals and keep turning the food with barbecue tongs so your delicious morsels do not burn. Don't prick the meat with a fork, as the juices from the meat can then es- cape from the pores and cause the meat to dry out. Vom Fass is located at 101 N. Indian Hill Blvd., Claremont.

GALLERIES continued from the previous page Claremont COURIER/Friday, June 27, 2014 22 Students get hands-on during ocean life lesson T he Pacific Ocean visited Project Think on Wednesday. Manhattan Beach Piers Roundhouse Aquarium docents and oceanographers presented a thought-provoking lesson on oceanic plants and animals, ulti- mately explaining the humans positive and negative influences on this spacious biome. The instructors acquainted the chil- dren with a variety of sea animals, in- cluding echinoderms, arthropods, mollusks, fish, sharks and rays, and ma- rine mammals. The children had the op- portunity to hold a sea star and touch a sea cucumber. Some children in kindergarten through second grade wore costumes of a whale, shark, sea lion, smaller fish, plankton and the sun to demonstrate all of lifes dependence upon the sun for its energy. They also demonstrated the food chain. Instructors displayed bones, teeth, cartilage, and baleen for the curious stu- dents. Four separate assemblies were held to accommodate the various age levels. Now in its 34th summer, Project Think reaches out to students in grades kindergarten through eighth grade. This years theme is oceanography, the um- brella under which the students increase their knowledge and thinking skills. In the mornings, students enjoy learning through a hands-on approach, as they ro- tate through classes of language arts, computers, science, drama, art history and Think Tank. Many students stay for the afternoon session and may choose drama, comput- ers, swimming (lessons included) or conversational Spanish. Each of the two three-week programs is independent of the other. There is still room for enrollment in second session July 7-July 25. Creators of the program, Susan Warren and Kay Conley, direct a large staff with a small ratio of students to adults. The program takes place in The Old Schoolhouse on the corner of Foothill Boulevard and In- dian Hill. Visit www.projectthink.com or for in- formation or call the office at (909) 447- 4741.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auc- tion, you are or may be responsible for pay- ing 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 recorders office or a title insurance com- pany, 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 undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any in- correctness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common desig- nation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale.

The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mort- gagees Attorney.

THE PETITION requests authority to adminis- ter the estate under the Independent Administra- tion of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions with- out obtaining court approval. Before taking cer- tain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to in- terested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The inde- pendent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in Cali- fornia law. 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 inven- tory and appraisal of estate assets or of any peti- tion or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.
