Town and gown
Dear Editor: What happened to the Town and Gown philosophy? I am referring to the closure of the Claremont Golf Course, owned by The Colleges. I have lived in Claremont since 1947. My husband and I began taking golf lessons at this course in 1980. I have been playing with the womens golf club, composed of 78 members who play every Tuesday. Who else plays on the course? Claremont High Schools golf teams practice here; many of the retired folks from around the area; familis with their children. It is true that some of these folks are not playing there as often as they did. Why is that? Simply because there is not enough money to water the course and keep out the gophers. As we in Claremont know, our water bills are astronomical! The greens are the only areas that are watered now. What can be done? The fact is, The Colleges were given this property years ago and enjoy large endowment funds. It is hard to understand why they cannotor wontput some money into this longstanding institution in our fair city. Our Claremont Heritage focuses on preserving historical buildings and placesit seems The Colleges could do the same. There are so many unhappy and sad people in our community and surrounding cities because of The Colleges decision to close our only golf course. Please reconsider.

Dear Editor: I, too, am tired of the ongoing fight between the city, Claremont Outrage and Golden State Water Company. However, I believe we must continue this fight. My wife and I live in what I feel is an average Claremont home1500 square feet on a 10,000-square-foot lot. I, too, monitor my water, electric and gas usage. My average water bills in the summer are $270 and $90 in the winter. In the last three years, Ive seen my water bill go up nine percent in 2011, 12 percent in 2012 and I estimate it will go up 21 percent in 2013. My water bill for 2012 will be about $2,000, almost the same as my property taxes. We do something we can to conserve water, but there is a limit to what can be done. And even if we do conserve, we are hit with WRAM. Yes, we will have to pay more for water if Claremont acquires the water system. But we are going to pay more regardless. Yes, there are people who use huge quantities of water and they will benefit the most. But so will we. Frustrated hopes to be in Claremont for the long run. And I hope she is. But if our water rates keep going up 9 to 10 percent every year, she, and we, will no longer be able to afford Claremont. The city passed up several opportunitites to buy the water system in the past. It is not going to get cheaper in the future. The time is now. And I hope the city will go for revenue bonds, as opposed to a parcel tax. That way, everyone will share in the cost of acquiring the water system.

Big-ticket projects have council setting tough priorities
ollowing a sleepy summer, Claremont has woken up with recent movement on three longstanding issueswater system ownership, building a new police facility and updating and expanding the Joslyn Senior Center. But with these developments comes a major city dilemma: prioritizing the priorities.
Everything is pretty much laid out, now how much are we willing to spend? Councilmember Sam Pedroza posed at Tuesday nights city council meeting. Multi-million dollar projects have been at the forefront of the Claremont councils discussion over the past month. On September 28, the citys water negotiating team moved forward with a new $55 million offer to Golden State Water Company and, at the same time, the new police facility ad hoc committee brought its feasibility study forward to the council with a cost estimate of at least $42 million for a new police center. Both would rely on some sort of bond measure to move forward. Tuesdays council meeting presented more of the same with a report given on the Larkin Park Campus Improvement Project, a 14,000-square-foot expansion
and renovation to Larkin Park and the Joslyn Center that is estimated at about $15 million. Like the others, the Larkin Park improvement plan has been a council priority for years, stalled only because of lack of available funds. While estimating about CITY $2 million of that COUNCIL could be raised through local fundraising efforts and available grants, the projects ad hoc committee recognized the rest would need to be acquired through a bond. While acknowledging the concerns of moving forward with voting on a bond measure while the city pursues other costly ventures, the committee urged the council to allow them to move forward in conducting a feasibility study. They also offered a gift of $20,000 from the Claremont Senior Foundation fund to help pay for a bond survey to evaluate interest not only for the Larkin Park renovation, but also for the police station upgrade. While maintaining that renovating and expanding the Joslyn Center is still a city priority, and agreeing that a feasibility study should be conducted, council members were hesitant to move forward with the survey. In a 4-0 vote, with Councilmember Larry Schroeder absent, the council opted to advance with the feasibility study while holding off on a survey until the public can be presented with all the options. City Manager Tony Ramos expects that information will be ready in about six to
nine months, at which time a feasibility study with more realistic cost estimates for both the police facility and Larkin Park are expected to be complete. I dont want to confuse the people of the community by a survey that tells them one thing and then later on we come back and say there is something else we want to look at, said Mayor Opanyi Nasiali. Mr. Nasiali illuminated his point by referring back to the citys efforts to purchase Johnsons Pasture in 2006. Survey results at that time showed that the community was interested in a bond measure to help purchase the pasture. At the same time, however, the city was working on expanding Padua Park. When it came to placing a bond measure on the spring 2006 ballot, it was decided that funding for parks should also be attached to the Johnsons Pasture ballot initiative. The measure ended up failing. I do not wish to face that situation again, Mr. Nasiali said. While pleased with the efforts made on moving forward with all of these city priorities, council members cautioned residents about the potential burdens. As it is, City Manager Tony Ramos noted that Claremont residents with an assessed property of $450,000 pay a little more than $1,000 in special assessment taxes already. All of these [priorities] are going to have to be put into context...There are a lot of needs for this community, Coun-
cilmember Corey Calaycay said. Ironically, this being for seniors, seniors tend to be on limited incomes, so some seniors might have a challenging time trying to accommodate all of the things that are a priority to our community. City arborist hire postponed After more than two hours of debate, the council also opted to hold off on another city expenditure, that of hiring an urban forester, or arborist. The decision was made 4-0, much to the dismay of many in the audience, including members of the citys sustainability committee and delgates from the nonprofit Sustainable Claremont and that organizations Tree Action Group. For several years the city has contracted out for tree services, a decision that many felt was unwise for a place known as the City of Trees. We lost our designated internal advocate for trees, said Michael Heilpern. Our staff, including our Community and Human Services Department, is highly competent and professional. But as the staff report tonight reminds us, they are responsible for a variety of things: hardscape and utilities, park maintenance and, additionally, trees. Its a lot to keep track of. When you try to manage all of those things...it leads to short-term thinking. The updated Sustainable City Plan, presented by an ad hoc committee on Tuesday, called for the city to reinstate

Sixty-foot sign approval sought from Planning Commission
he Planning Commission, on Tuesday, October 15, will discuss whether to amend the citys zoning code to allow a 60-foot sign at Base Line Road and Towne Avenue.
The sign being proposed would support a potential small retail development at the southeast corner of Base Line and Towne. The development is located within the citys mixed-use zoning district, which calls for commercial uses to be located on the corner. The zone does not, however, allow tall signs for those developments. To support the potential retail center, staff believes a 60-foot sign would be necessary in order to be seen over the freeway grade and other site constraints such as tall power lines. Community members are invited to take part in the discussion. The meeting takes place at 7 p.m. in the City Council Chamber, 225 W.

City ups offer to Golden State Water by $1 million

City to elaborate on water issues at town hall meeting next month
he city of Claremont has offered Golden State Water Company $55 million for the purchase of Claremonts water system, city officials confirmed this week.
This is the second offer the city has made to the privately-owned water company. Last November, Claremont officials presented Golden State Water with a $54 million offer, which they turned down. On September 24, City Attorney Sonia Carvalho announced that the city had revised its offer after an updated appraisal of the citys water system. However, the amount of that offer was not disclosed. Golden State Water officials released the information in a press release sent Friday, October 4. Water company administrators have not confirmed whether or not they have refused the citys offer. A
COUNCIL continued from the previous page
statement given by Denise Kruger, Golden States senior vice president of regulated utilities, instead points to the burden a $55 million offer would have on Claremont residents. Based on this new offer, residents will have to pay more than $133 million in principal and interest to acquire the water system, Ms. Kruger wrote. The city cannot match Golden States level of drinking water quality, infrastructure maintenance and customer service; and the water system is not for sale. If the city pursues its takeover effort, hundreds of millions in tax debt and higher water rates will put other public services at risk. In response, the city calls attention to the upcoming town hall on Wednesday, November 6to be held at 6 p.m. in Taylor Hallat which time officials say residents will receive more information on the citys plan to pursue acquisition of the Claremont water system. Over the past several months, city staff has been
carefully evaluating key issues related to the citys potential acquisition of the water system, said City Manager Tony Ramos.
n November, the city council will conduct a town hall meeting where residents will learn about issues relating to the potential acquisition of the water system, Mr. Ramos added. In addition, our residents will have an opportunity to share their thoughts and opinions with the city council regarding the future of Claremonts water system.

Village Venture fair approaches
the city arborist position. City administrators, however, were hesitant. Seeing it as too costly a venture at this time, city staff recommended the council veto the committees recommendation. The council remained split on the matter. Councilmembers Sam Pedroza, Corey Calaycay and Mayor Pro Tem Joe Lyons were supportive of the citys strides and lofty goals in terms of sustainability. However, Mr. Pedroza and Mr. Calaycay, as well as Mayor Opanyi Nasiali, were hesitant to support the goal of rehiring a city arborist with the citys economic uncertainties. We cannot allow the citys fiscal climate to be affected because we are focusing on one thing and ignoring what that impact would be, Mr. Nasiali said. Mr. Lyons remained firm in his belief that the city should hire an arborist, but he conceded to the will of the council with the caveat that the council remain open to the future possibility of reinstating the position. With a 4-0 vote, the council agreed that the hiring of a city arborist will be reexamined within the citys upcoming budget proceedings.

Thursday, October 3 The bad luck streak continues for the Claremont Forum, located at 586 First St. in the Claremont Packing House. For the third time within a month, vandals attempted to break into the nonprofit. Similar to the last attempt, however, the crooks were unable to gain entrance. The handles to the stores outward-facing door were broken, but there was no other damage. The damages continued in the Packing House basement, where a vehicle was found with a smashed window. Lucky for the owner, there was no property loss. Any information on either of these incidents should be reported to the Claremont Police Department at 399-5411.

The manwho claimed a voice had told him to break the companys pipes and allegedly stated, Id blow this place up if necessarybroke into the building, yelling and screaming as he destroyed pipes and equipment, according to Detective Robert Ewing. In the process, the suspect caused a leak in a 40-gallon tank of chlorine. The HAZMAT team was called to the scene and the man was taken to the hospital, first for treatment of chemical burns to his body and next for a mental hold. He was also arrested for burglary and vandalism. **** The weather has been getting peculiar

In one of the most recent cases, a female student was walking in the 1000 block of the Pitzer Service Road when she was struck in the face by a falling apple. There were no witnesses. The mystery remains unsolved. Monday, October 7 Alan Balchazar, 24, of Pomona decided to go on an early-morning drive on Monday. Unfortunately, it was on the wrong side of the road. His journey quickly drew to a close when he crashed his car into a fence near Base Line Road and Monte Vista Ave. His car was a little worse for wear, but Mr. Balchazar left the scene unharmed except for a bruised ego. He was arrested for driving under the influence.

EDUCATION
New CMC president speaks from heart about education, success
iram E. Chodosh, who was inaugurated as the fifth president of Claremont McKenna on Saturday, has some distinct goals as he takes the reins of the prestigious liberal arts
college. The first of these is to moderate the cost of a CMC education by marshaling more means to aid students and their families. He considers it equally important to ensure that every possible resource is shepherded to meet students needs in an extraordinary way. We need to be engaged in thinking about value in terms of the capabilities students will carry out with them, to ensure that their capacities are well-aligned with what the world values, he said. Its a challenge to keep up with the demands of the global marketplace, and to predict what will be needed next. You have to ask a lot of questions and think critically about the answers, making sure they are not ephemeral. You have to make educated guesses about long-term trends, he explained. Yogi Berra said, The future isnt what is used to be. You have to use caution when making guesses about the future. Luckily, there are constants when it comes to the characteristics that will generate success, regardless of time or trend, Mr. Chodosh said.

CANDIDATES CORNER
Filling the generation gap

by Ron White, local stake president, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
n a hot Arizona night in the 1930s, my Dad walked through the back door of his childhood home and found his brothers arguing and fighting. Things calmed down briefly as he entered the room but then his youngest brother spit out a toxic combination of threats and obscenities aimed at the others. The reaction was chemical, stripping the brotherhood from the room.
Fortunately, no one was seriously hurt that night but such episodes were not uncommon among them. They were bound by rules and traditions much like the old Code of the West, which they learned long before Zane Greys book was published in 1934. In fact, you might say the unwritten code that governed frontier living was in their blood. Their grandfather was a famous frontiersman turned justice of the peace and their Uncle Jim, an infamous gunfighter turned lawman. Life was harsh in Depression-era
Inter-Faithfully SPEAKING
Phoenix. Jobs were few, wages were low and conflict was everywhere. From sputtering factories and fallow farms to tension-filled homes and empty-cupboard kitchens, people knew the only thing great about the Depression was its burden, and their suffering. Kids dont always comprehend the reasons for such things. They only sense that life isnt quite right. Meals are meager; quarrels are frequent. They see uncertainty in their parents faces. They hear whispers about bills, creditors and foreclosure, and they no longer feel secure, not even at home, sometimes, especially at home. If they are lucky, they find places to go to feel normal: the ballpark, the YMCA, a tree house, church. Hitlers Nazi army invaded Poland, setting off World War II, nine months before Dad graduated from high school. He enlisted as a private in the Army Air Corps one month after graduation and later became a pilot. His remarkable wartime experiences from the ages of 18 to 23 included triumphs and failures, cruelty and kindness, fear and exhilaration. He was one of the boys trying to save the world, and the memories were riveted to his soul. They have not left him to this day. Now 92, Dad has spent the last couple of years talking to me about things we had never before discussed. He has opened up to me about the war, the Great Depression, race relations and other experiences that shaped his personality and outlook on life. We have come a long way since the time I was a teenager. Back then, it seemed we were from different worlds. His generation was the Greatest Generation; mine, the Woodstock Generation. His generation marched to defend liberty. Many of my generation marched to protest the war in Vietnam while others marched to advance civil rights in the south. There definitely was a gap between us. People called it a generation gap. I am grateful that gap has finally closed. It took time, patience and genuine interest. It took a willingness to listen with the goal of understanding each others perspective. It required a
determination to leave feelings of hurt and memories of recrimination in the past. It required love. If a generation gap separating father and son can be filled, is it possible that our collective familythe human familycan find ways to overcome the labels, stereotypes and political slogans that have divided us for so long? The answer is yes, if we have the will to do so. Each of us has the ability to affect such change in our respective spheres of influence. We can choose to be agents who act for the good of mankind instead of waiting to be acted upon by those empowered by the status quo. It must start in our homes and then flow into our communities. It will require the best we have to offer. It will require greatness from all generations. Ron White is an attorney/mediator by profession.

Dear Editor: I am a Democrat and an Obama supporter and, while I have a lot of reservations about the Affordable Health Care Act, I think we deserve to give it some time to see what parts of it work and what parts do not. I believe the Tea Party lackeys, currently controlling congress, are not only funnier to follow than the Kardashians they are doing the Democrats a great service. Their Take my marbles and go home mentality are guaranteeing Hillary Clinton a two-term victory and handing us a future Democratic majority in Congress, as well! If you think the Dems are putting through socialist legislation now, just wait until they control the Senate and the House. Kudos to the Fools on the Hill.

Stuck in the mud

Dear Editor: During the last two months, updates on the proposed legislation for a National Recreation Area (NRA) designation being prepared by Congresswomen Chu have been filtering out to the public. Its been a balancing act for the Congresswoman to draft legislation that will fullfill the needs of the many disadvantaged communities of the San Gabriel Valley whose need for recreation activity is limited to what public space is truly open to the public and not fenced off. For folks who buy and sell water for public benefit, the designation status could limit the ability to purchase vacant land along the foothills and the area above Claremont that can be used for spreading and capturing water. The issue is one of so much controversy that the progress being made in the SGV cog might get stuck in the mud. In a recent meeting of a water agency located in Claremont Hills, a staff report

Some of these games are just amazing for relearning lost skills, explained Rehab Manager Marie McKinney. When people are enjoying the experience they forget how hard they are working to get back to their highest functional level, which is our goal. The spacious center includes an office and a therapeutic studio apartment designed for occupational therapy. The Bistro is located across the corridor from

A glut of happiness
by Debbie Carini
hen I was young and learning about foreign foods like tacos and chow mein, I fell in love with an eating experience that is at once uniquely American and yet attains a hint of foreign intrigue when it goes by its Scandinavian name, Smorgasbord.
Of course, Im talking about the buffet, and I cant imagine anything more democratic than this system of serving meals in which food is placed in a public area where the diners generally serve themselves (according to Wikipedia). At the buffet, the humble meat loaf can rub shoulders with the stately prime rib and lime-flavored Jello can aspire to stature as a green. There are many different types of buffets, but the prepaid, all-you-can-eat buffet is a marvel of abundance. Cast your eyes down the glistening selection of choices, steaming under the sneeze-guard: there are vegetable and fruit varieties so vibrant in their color that you briefly wonder if they were grown too close to a nuclear power plant; there are ribs and wings, and hunks and balls of meat; and the
starcheslustrous mashed potatoes, luminous white rice and pastas with every kind of topping (most not involving a single vegetable). My love affair with the buffet began more than 40 years ago, aptly enough on Main Street in Disneyland at one of those old-timey restaurants where everyone on staff is dressed like a member of a barbershop quartet. I slid my tray along the counter, past the pot roast and the bright red spaghetti sauce until I found what I would have to describe as a vegetable-aversechilds dream cuisinea hot, open-faced sandwich of white bread and white turkey meat, with a side of white mashed potatoes, all bathed in a creamy yellow gravy. And so it began...a lifetime of wanting to wait in line and pile up a plateful of carbohydrates.
To this day, the buffet brings out the worst in me. I have it a little more under control in a cafeteria, where I know Im going to be paying for each item I put on my plate (which is why I love Ikeahello 15 meatballs, mashed potatoes and whatever lingonberry sauce is, all for $5.99!) But there are nice restaurants that also feature buffets this past weekend, my husband and I joined friends at a chic LA eatery where a dinner special can run as high as $40, but we were there for the boutique dinner buffet, a fancy way to say this isnt your school cafeteria but your dinner is still coming on a tray. This buffet table featured crispy fried chicken and sweet potato fries, pulled pork and fried catfish, pasta alfredo and even vegetables, lounging in a pool of butter (like movie stars on inflatable rafts). Sometimes, in the face of so many choices, I am almost overwhelmed with gastronomic anxiety. But there are websites to help one conquer this fear. Wikihow.com has an entire section entitled Eat-at-a-Buffet, and there is another website with 16 tips to conquer buffet binging. And so, last Saturday night, I held my tray with confidence and loaded-up on the greasy and fatteningand I even found a new white food: grits! ment necessary to load and transport the mulch. The city offers free mulch to Claremont residents six times a year in an effort to close the recycling loop.

Cafe offers sweet tastes for discriminating palette
n a hidden nook of the Claremont School of Theology, Claremont caterer Catherine Dickerson is blending together two of Claremonts most recognized features, citrus and art. The resulting combination is the newlyopened Lemon Tree Cafe, a tranquil retreat for the colleges and community alike.
Through the Lemon Tree Cafe, the local caterer of nearly 13 years has finally found a space to ground her. While her workweek takes her back and forth along the Foothill communities nearly 18 hours a day, shes happy to call her little restaurant her resting place. She hopes others will feel the same. I love the environment here on campusthe students, the faculty. Its a refreshing place to be, Ms. Dickerson said. I want to create a place of warmth where others feel they can come to relax as well. The Lemon Tree Cafe breathes life into the space once known as The Broken Loaf. As the School of Theology broadens its scope, Ms. Dickerson felt a change in the culinary offerings on campus was also needed. The Lemon Tree Cafe was dubbed not only because of its tie to the teeming citrus of Claremonts past, but the fresh perspective of the Claremont COURIER photos/Steven Felschundneff School of Theologys present.

Outgoing director leaves Shoes in good hands
fter more than a decade at the helm of the Claremont-based nonprofit Shoes That Fit, distributing countless pairs of shoes to children in need, longtime executive director Roni Lomeli is set to retire this January.
My retirement is bittersweet, Ms. Lomeli said. Shoes That Fit has been an important part of my life for the past 18 years. Ms. Lomeli has brought the local service organization a long way in her nearly two decades of service, working her way from volunteer to board member to executive director beginning in 2001. Her work has been applauded by the local community and across the country. She was recently named one of Town and Country magazines distinguished Women Who Make a Difference for her strides in helping children across the United States. Roni has been the award-winning leader and driving force behind Shoes That Fits extraordinary success, said Ralph Shapira, board member-at-large and former chair. Her inspired leadership has transformed Shoes That Fit from a superb local service organization into a highly efficient national charity. She leaves Shoes That Fit in an excellent position to expand its helping reach to countless additional schoolchildren still in need. She began as a volunteer in 1994, stuffing envelopes in a closet-sized office off Harvard Avenue, where the organization managed efforts to provide footwear to children of Arroyo Elementary School in Pomona. Today, Ms. Lomeli leaves behind a legacy that includes distribution of more than one million pairs of shoes to children in 1,600 schools in 42 states across the country. Though retirement will afford her the opportunity to travel with her husband, Martin Lomeli, and help with the success of other local charities, the nonprofits longtime leading lady knows she will find it impossible not to give back to Shoes That Fit in some capacity. [The organization] grows on you, it gets in your blood, Ms. Lomeli said. The more you work with the program and see what it does for the kids, the more you want to do it. Part of her mission has been to help others feel that same itch. Taking a look at the numbers, its clear she succeeded. Without any government funding and starting with only six employees, the organization now boasts a network of more than 300 sponsor organizations. Ninety percent of all their donations go directly to the children the charity serves, which prompted Charity Navigator, a nonprofit watchdog organization, to confer its highest 4-star rating on Shoes That Fit in November 2012. It was the third consecutive year they received the accolade. Along with Shoes That Fits growing sponsorships, their services have also expanded, from focusing exclusively on shoes to encompassing socks and school supplies. The nonprofits recent Backpack Campaign yielded about 250 backpacks stuffed with back to school goodies for children in the Claremont, Upland, Montclair, Ontario and Fontana school districts. In return, Ms. Lomeli has received thousands of thank you letters on behalf of the organization, each childs story and gratitude warming her heart more than the next. She insists the crayon-colored sentiments are the most satisfying part of her job. When these kids tell you what these shoes meant to them, thats what makes it all worthwhile, Ms. Lomeli said. You know it is making a difference in their lives. And they in hers, which is part of the reason it has taken her a couple years to finally come to her decision to retire. Easing her departure is the fact that she

will be passing on the torch to longtime donor Amy Fass, who has also served as the organizations director of corporate giving for the past several years. She knows our organization and has a passion for what we do, Ms. Lomeli said. Its really going to be a smooth transition for us. Ms. Fass understands she has big shoes to fill but, with Ms. Lomelis confidence, is ready to help Shoes That Fit continue its climb. We are in expansion mode, she said. I hope I can continue that.

Frank Minano, Sr.

Barber, beloved husband, father and grandfather
Frank Minano, Sr., a longtime Claremont barber, died peacefully in Upland on Friday, October 4, 2013 surrounded by his family. He was 97. He was born in 1916 in Guardia Piemontese in the province of Cosenza, Italy to Maddalena and Vincenzo Minano. In 1927, young Frank immigrated to the United States, coming through Ellis Island. His family settled in Detroit, Michigan, where his father took a position with the Ford Motor Co. There, Mr. Minano met his future wife, Violet Condino, whom he married in 1938 in Dearborn, Michigan. They had four children, Gloria, Madeline, Linda and Frank, Jr. In 1945, Mr. Minano moved to California with his family. While Mr. Minano never got beyond eighth grade in school, he graduated from cosmetology school at Citrus College with skills that would serve him throughout his life. He Mr. Minano was beloved for his good humor and was always whistling, singing and telling humorous stories. He was also a veritable repository of local news, so much so that upon his retirement, the late Monsignor William Barry of Our Lady of Assumption Church asked, Where will Claremont go to gossip? Mr. Minano was a member of the Roman Catholic Church. He enjoyed cooking with fresh vegetables and prided himself on his fig tree. He also loved listening to music, particularly tunes by Italian luminaries like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sergio Franchi. Another favorite pastime was heading to Santa Anita to enjoy the horse races. In honor of Mr. Minanos 90th birthday, his friend Dennis, who owns horses, even dubbed one of his horses Frank the Barber. In his later years, many people asked Mr. Minano the secret of his longevity.
OBITUARIES
worked as a barber with his brother in the Claremont Village for 45 years. Mr. Minano kept generations of Claremonters well-groomed, including giving a young COURIER publisher Peter Weinberger his first haircut, a momentous occasion documented in the pages of the newspaper.
His philosophy of how to live a long and healthful life was simple: Have a glass of red wine each day, eat greens with every meal, dont eat out because you dont know what they are putting in your food and never go to bed angry. Mr. Minanos beloved wife Violet died a year ago after celebrating 73 years of marriage. He is survived by his brother, Carmen, and by his children, Gloria, Madeline, Linda and Frank, Jr. and their families, including 7 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren. A service for Mr. Minano will be held on Friday, October 11 at 10 a.m. at St. Anthonys Catholic Church, 2110 N. San Antonio Ave. in Upland.

COURIER photos/Steven Felschundneff Pilgrim Place resident Henry Atkins, 74, practices his kicking technique during a ceremony last week at Sekai Black Belt Academy in Claremont. Mr. Atkins was awarded his brown belt during the class, which places him in the advanced level of the Sekai discipline.
Claremonter gets a kick by challenging body and mind
he Reverend Canon Henry Atkins has traded his priestly apparel for an entirely different set of dress, one that comes with a pair of nunchucks and boxing gloves.
The new look and mindset suit him. Last Saturday, the 74-year-old Pilgrim Place resident SENIOR became the oldest recipient of the SPOTLIGHT Sekai Black Belt Academys brown belt distinction, just one level below the coveted title of black belt. When asked why an Episcopal priest would turn to kickboxing and martial arts, a frequently asked question, he answers with a smile: I was tired of turning the other cheek. In fact, it was his propensity for peacekeeping that prompted him into combat practice three years ago. Its a way of testing your inner and outer strength, Fr. Atkins reflected. There is a lot of discipline involved, particularly when someone kicks you in the side of the head. You could get angry, but then youd lose the match. You have to learn to move to a place where you can appreciate what the other person is doing. Though relatively new to the world of martial arts, Fr. Atkins has long held an interest in contemplative prayer, which led him to the study of Tai Chi 35 years ago. While the form of movement meditation is often recognized for its stress relief and health benefits, Tai Chi is also known as a form of self-defense, dubbed Chinese boxing, the hobbyist noted. Despite his fascination with the discipline, years of

study never translated to actual practice for Fr. Atkins as his pastoral duties commanded most of his time. Retirement to Pilgrim Place finally provided him with the chance to delve into his hobbies. With his spare time, he took up walk/jogging with the Pilgrim Pacers and then, with the help of trainer Denise Kane, started kickboxing. Stumbling into Fr. Atkins practicing his moves in his carport at Pilgrim Place became a regu-
lar, unquestioned occurrence, shared friend and fellow Pilgrim Ruth Brown. Thats Henry, she said of her active friend. He is the biggest inspiration. Fr. Atkins was a quick learner and, with the encouragement of his trainer, soon began searching for a studio in order to more fully engage in the practice of martial arts. His homework led him to the Sekai Academy on Foothill Boulevard in Claremont, where he began practicing under the guidance of former world champion kickboxer Maria Brandt. His first class consisted of Ms. Brandt and three other students, all of whom he noticed were at least 50 years his junior. That realization only served to motivate him. Its sort of an ego thing, fighting with an 18-yearold kid when you are 74 years old, he laughed. Its the best medicine. People should never use age as an excuse. Fr. Atkins might be the oldest student Ms. Brandt has ever taught, and the oldest she has ever awarded a brown belt. But the accolade was well-earned, she acknowledged. He never gives up, no matter what I give to him, Ms. Brandt said. He always tries his best and never misses a class. Its awesome to have a student with that kind of energy and excitement. He knows the art form takes time and dedication and has set aside a large chunk of time to his practice. His schedule includes three days of training at the studio and two days of kickboxing at Pilgrim Place, which he admits can be a challenge both physically

and mentally. One of the most difficult obstacles for him, however, was learning to be comfortable sparring with his teacher. I was a little intimidated going up against her. I knew as my teacher she could handle it, but I have never kicked or punched a woman before. I felt like I shouldnt do it, he recalled. That lasted until about the second time she kicked me in the side of the head. He showed none of that initial hesitation last week as he punched and kicked his way to his brown belt with the support of his friends in the audience. Becoming a martial artist is all about learning to overcome fears, both in and out of the studio, he shared. Boxing can be thought of as a metaphor for life, Fr. Atkins said. You are constantly engaging in one struggle, one conflict, one fight after another. There is something to be said about being able to act that out physically that prepares you to do the same in life.

CHS girls volleyball snags first win of season
n arguably their toughest match of the year, the Claremont girls volleyball team defeated Sierra League rival South Hills in a 5-set thriller on Tuesday night to earn their first conference victory of the season.
The Wolfpack were down 0-1 and 1-2 early on, but rallied in sets 2 and 4 behind the strong play of their seniors to draw even with the Huskies and force a fifth set. After trailing 8-4 in set 5, Claremont rallied back to even the score up at 9-9. Junior Denise Brittain helped the Wolfpack jump out to a 13-11 lead, but the Huskies would fight back with several points of their own, tying the game at 14-14 and 15-15 after being down in both situations. Unfortunately, the Huskies could not hold off the Wolfpack much longer and conceded 3 of the next 4 points to give Claremont an 18-16 victory. Before the final set, head coach Allan Comerford reminded his team to play smart and to focus on executing the upcoming serves. I told them, lets just keep our serves in and play the defense like we normally would, Coach Comerford said. They stepped up and they kept their swings in. Claremont was led by a trio of senior captains who set the tone for the Wolfpack on both offense and defense. Janie Feldsher recorded 13 kills and a team-high 6 blocks while Gina Valvo led the team with 5 digs. Annalyese Fausel played a crucial role in the Wolfpacks offense with 32 assists. A win like this can do wonders for Claremont moving forward, but Coach Comerford said this match served as a reminder that nothing is over until it is over. I think [this win] lets the girls know that they have to fight for every point, Coach Comerford said. No matter what the score is, whether theyre up by one or down by a couple, they need to work hard. In the opening set, Claremont exchanged points back and forth with South Hills, but was unable to put game away, falling 25-21. Claremont turned up their intensity in set 2 with a 2519 victory to pull even with South Hills, 1-1. Valvo made a number of key hustle plays on offense and defense to spark the Wolfpacks comeback win. After falling behind 16-10 in the third set, Claremont went on a 7-1 scoring run to take the lead 17-16. They could not hold on to the lead, however, surrendering the game 25-19. In a must-win fourth set, the Wolfpack opened with an 8-3 scoring run. Claremont widened their lead at 2010 and never looked back, claiming the fourth set 25-18 to force a fifth and final set. Throughout the match, Claremont did a good job of keeping South Hills on its toes with its explosive and timely offense, which is exactly what they wanted to do coming into the match. I wanted to focus a lot on taking [South Hills] out of their system, as far as getting into the setter, putting up a good block and making sure that we run our offense quickly, Coach Comerford said. Results of Thursdays match with St. Lucys will be in the next edition of the COURIER. The Wolfpack will compete in the Ayala Tournament this weekend and will take on Chino Hills and Charter Oak next Tuesday and Thursday, respectively.

Scouts find ghostly way to raise money for troop
The Seaver House on College Avenue is notorious for a trickster ghost who turns the light on in the top floor of the building. Docent Leah Key-Ketter tells the story during a preview of the first annual Village Ghost Walk.
he Girl Scouts of Troop 1094 are providing the spooks this Halloween season.
Besides cookie sales and community service, the Sycamore School Juniors have a new focus: the paranormal. The girls are getting ghoulish this weekend with the citys first community-wide Village Ghost Walk, showcasing Claremonts local hauntings. The Sycamore scouts and their leaders, Leah Key-Ketter and Holly Pugno, have spent the last three months becoming experts in the ethereal, researching and interviewing Village folks who claim to have seen ghosts. The scouts work will be put to the test this Saturday and Sunday as they lead small groups to some of the hauntings, Bridges Auditorium and Colors 91711 among them. While the apparitions certainly take center stage in their eerie expedition, the experience is about more than just the ghost stories. Its a fun way of learning about Claremonts history while hearing some great storytelling, Ms. Pugno said. You walk away with a better understanding of Claremont. This is the second year the Girl Scouts will be showcasing their storytelling prowess, but the first time the Claremont community is invited to take

part. After limiting their initial showing to fellow scouts, this year the ghost walk is expanding. Joan Bunte, owner of Stamp Your Heart Out, and the Village Marketing Group have helped with
that effort, eager to join in on the fun. I have always heard about ghost walks/tours and was very jealous when I learned that Riverside had one, Ms. Bunte said. I kept my ears open and when [I heard] Leah had put one together last year for and with her Girl Scouts, that was the open door. Ms. Bunte and the Village Marketing Group werent the only ones on board with broadening the scope of the Ghost Walk. Within a matter of days, the event was sold out, with proceeds benefitting the scouts summer camp fund. It took Troop 1093 two-and-a-half years to raise money for last years Girl Scout Camp. With the success of this years walk, they might already have their ticket to this years summer excursion.
Putting together a haunted trek worthy of the crowds is a tall order. Thankfully Ms. Key-Ketter, who has helped coordinate the effort, is a sage when it comes to spooky storytelling. The Claremont mom has been leading her own ghost walks for her son and his friends for years. She is now sharing her craft with her scouts, much to their delight. Its fun to be creepy for a night, said 11-year-old Edyn Hawke, who will be serving as one of the tours docents. The tour begins at the Claremont Depot and slowly winds its way to Stamp Your Heart Out, where Girl

In addition to Timmy, the girls are partial to a giddy young ghost that features in one of the outings final accounts, a story provided by Ms. Buntes daughter, Beth Garvin, and 12-year-old grandson, Jack. While convincing their tour guests that ghosts are real might be a bit of a challenge, the Sycamore docents werent a hard sell. Ive always believed in ghosts, declared Ruby Berke. I probably believe more now.

Scoutsdressed in their gypsy finestwill be waiting to read palms, dole out hot cider and present a festive Halloween craft. The Ghost Walk makes its first stop at Some Crust bakery, a local haunt in both senses of the word. Those who believe in the paranormal say that the longer a place has been around, the more chance it has to be haunted. Some Crust Bakery, one of the
most historic places of business in the Claremont Village, is no exception to this rule. Owners and employees of the Village staple say they have experienced phenomena suggesting it is haunted to its very foundation. While some of the stories feature seemingly sinister spirits, like Some Crust, not all of the tales phantom characters have a mean streak. The young docents have taken a liking to Timmy the ghost, a spirit who has been known to haunt what used to be a Fourth Street hair salon and is now Olgas Underground Fur-

House of Ruth and the Pomona Police Department partner in candlelight vigil
House of Ruth is holding a candlelight vigil and domestic violence awareness event on Tuesday, October 15 at 6 p.m. at the Pomona Outreach Center 599 N. Main Street, Pomona. The theme of this years candlelight vigil will be What Men Can Do to Stop Violence, and will encourage men to take an active role toward ending domestic violence in our communities. House of Ruth will honor many of our community supporters at the event including Hair Phases Salon, Family and Friends Golf, Chris Anzalone from Tri-City Mental Health Services and Randy Prout. This event is free to the public and light refreshments will be served. To acknowledge the seriousness and the continuing presence of domestic violence in our communities, this candlelight vigil and domestic violence awareness event invites members of the general public to gather in support of House of Ruths work providing services to battered women and their children. The event will offer those in attendance the opportunity to acknowledge and support families victimized by domestic violence, and honor those who have lost their lives to domestic violence. House of Ruth began in 1977 as a graduate studies project, by a group of students from Claremont Graduate School. They assessed the need for domestic violence services in the Pomona Valley and the response was overwhelming. House of Ruth Incorporated in 1978 with a 24-hour hotline, referrals to services and crisis counseling. In 1981, an 18-bed shelter was opened and within 24 hours it was full. Thirty-five years later, House of Ruth has become a domestic violence agency providing direct services to women and children. Since its humble beginnings 36 years ago as a 24hour hotline, which operated around a kitchen table of a female Claremont Graduate University student, House of Ruths mission has been to advocate for and assist women victimized by domestic violence and children exposed to violence in transforming their lives by providing culturally competent shelter, programs, opportunities and education. In the past year, House of Ruth served a total of 4,110 people through various programs and services which include, but are not limited to, an emergency shelter and transitional shelter, a child abuse treatment program, and a 24hour emergency hotline. In addition, staff and volunteers provided community education services to a total of 21,654 people. For more information about the candlelight vigil and how you can become involved in Domestic Violence Awareness Day, call 623-4364, ext. 6054. For assistance with any emergency or for more information about domestic violence, call the 24-hour hotline at 988-5559.

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDINGS AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. On October 29, 2013 at 09:00 AM, Behind the fountain located in Civic Center Plaza, 400 Civic Center Plaza, Pomona CA 91766, MTC FINANCIAL INC. dba TRUSTEE CORPS, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust Recorded on June 20, 2005 as Instrument No. 05 1434604 of official records in the Office of the Recorder of Los Angeles County, California, executed by BRIAN F SWIENTON AND CATHERINE A SWIENTON HUSBAND AND WIFE AS COMMUNITY PROPERTY WITH RIGHT OF SURVIVORSHIP, as Trustor(s), in favor of SUNTRUST MORTGAGE, INC. as Lender and MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC. as nominee for Lender, its successors and/or assigns, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold "as is". The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 1518 BENEDICT AVE, CLAREMONT, CA 91711 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee`s Sale is estimated to be $404,868.17 (Estimated), provided, however, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary`s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier`s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee`s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder`s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. 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 property, you may call Priority Posting and Publishing at 714-573-1965 for information regarding the Trustee's Sale or visit the Internet Web site address on the previous page for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08000683-13-1. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

WARNINGIMPORTANT INFORMATION WARNING: California law provides that, for purposes of division of property upon dissolution of a marriage or domestic partnership or upon legal separation, property acquired by the parties during marriage or domestic partnership in joint form is presumed to be community property. If either party to this action should die before the jointly held community property is divided, the language in the deed that characterizes how title is held (i.e., joint tenancy, tenants in common, or community property) will be controlling, and not the community property presumption. You should consult your attorney if you want the community property presumption to be written into the recorded title to the property. STANDARD FAMILY LAW RESTRAINING ORDERS Starting immediately, you and your spouse or domestic partner are restrained from 1. Removing the minor child or children of the parties, if any, from the state without the prior written consent of the other party or an order of the court; 2.

Creating a nonprobate transfer or modifying a nonprobate transfer in a manner that affects the disposition of property subject to the transfer, without the written consent of the other party or an order of the court. Before revocation of a nonprobate transfer can take effect or a right of survivorship to property can be eliminated, notice of the change must be filed and served on the other party. You must notify each other of any proposed extraordinary expenditures at least five business days prior to incurring these extraordinary expenditures and account to the court for all extraordinary expenditures made after these restraining orders are effective.

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.

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 property, you may call (714)730-2727 or visit the Internet Web Site WWW.LPSASAP.COM using the file number assigned to this case 1377208-31. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web Site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. FOR SALES INFORMATION: (714)730-2727 CAL-WESTERN RECONVEYANCE LLC 525 EAST MAIN STREET P.O.

September was the first slow month this year. However, that doesnt mean the market isnt still hot. As schools get back in session, and people prepare themselves for the holidays ahead, the market typically experiences a slowdown in sales activity. Prices are still holding strong, with continued (though now more modest) gains. Interest rates have dipped back down just over four percent, which should keep buyer demand strong and make for an interesting holiday season ahead.
