Continuing the Brock legacy

Dear Editor: Thank you for your thoughtful story on Brocks Christmas Tree Farm. The cover photo of Janessa Singley by COURIER photographer Steven Felschundneff perfectly captures the essence of why my father Rene was inspired to create this family Christmas tree farm out of barren soil. We have spent 50 years seeing these expressions on countless families, sharing their holiday traditions, watching their children grow up and, ultimately, experiencing the changing face of the city of Claremont. It is my desire to continue growing trees on our little piece of land for years to come, to be a good steward of my fathers vision and labor and to provide a place where families can come together over the simple pleasure of choosing and cutting their own Christmas tree. There is one fact to your story that I'd like to clarify. My full-time job, when not working the farm, is with the Baldwin Park School District as a music teacher, not as a full-time employee with the University of La Verne. I have taught several courses at ULV over the years but only on an adjunct basis. Thank you and I look forward to seeing all of our tree farm friends next year.

Pedestrian safety
Dear Editor: I was glad to see your recent article on the effect of new housing on Claremont.
Juxtaposed was an article on the great popularity of some of our parks and wilderness areas. However, I would like to take this opportunity to point out a serious gap in the citys concern for its pedestrian citizens. Specifically, the complete lack of sidewalks on the north side of Base Line Road in the vicinity of Mountain Avenue. This concern will soon move to a critical safety concern with the new housing about to be constructed at Mountain and Base Line. When I first moved to Claremont, while I loved our parks and paths, I was astounded that my children were forced to navigate the north part of that dangerous intersectionBase Line and Mountainwithout any sidewalks as they walked to Condit Elementary School and then to El Roble. I remain astounded that neither the city of Claremont nor the county of Los Angeles have done anything about the lack of sidewalks for the area, despite approving a major new housing complex. Perhaps our city council could explain how a parent of young children living in the new housing at Base Line and Mountain will instruct their children to walk to either Higginbotham Park, La Puerta Sports Park or to the Thompson Creek Trail? Seriously! Could they please walk it themselves during rush hour? Perhaps they could also explain how they suggest parents instruct their children to walk from Mountain Avenue north of Base Line to Condit Elementary? Those are dangerous streets and intersections for pedestrians!
GOVERNING OURSELVES
Agendas for city meetings are available at www.ci.claremont.ca.us Monday, December 23 CUSD closed through January 6, 2014 Tuesday, December 24 City CouncilCancelled
Perhaps our city leaders and planners need to be a bit more on the ball. If they are going to approve new housing, they need to take a look at the pathetically poor sidewalk situation in some of our nearby neighborhoods. Maybe get out and walk the neighborhood? I hope that we dont need deaths and accidents to get the city and county to move on this.

In years past, the couple estimates they have displayed in excess of 22,000 lights and, this year, it seemed even more spectacular. The annual light display is a welcome distraction for those traveling along Towne Avenue between Base Line Road and Foothill Boulevard during evening hours.

CITY NEWS
Village eatery goes to court against city over parking fees
ity officials are not just preparing to head into the New Year, they are also gearing up to head to court over an unresolved dispute with a long-time Claremont Village eatery.
In August 2012, Mike and Sue Verbal, owners of Pizza N Such restaurant in the Claremont Village, filed a complaint against the city of Claremont alleging city officials violated an agreement made in regard to more than $150,000 of in-lieu parking fees. Instead of requiring every business to provide a certain amount of designated parking, the city created in-lieu parking fees in the early 1980s to allow business owners to pay the city a fee in lieu of required parking. The couple filed a lawsuit to try to recover costs they assert were misused. Unable to reach a settlement through negotiations, both parties will now be taking the matter before a judge, City Attorney Sonia Carvalho announced last week. The city council explored every viable option for resolving the lawsuit short of making a gift of public funds to the Verbals who, years ago in exchange for payment for parking in-lieu fees, were able to improve their property and earn rental income on additional businesses that generate parking demands on the citys downtown village district, Ms. Carvalho said. Unfortunately, the Verbals rejected the citys multiple offers resulting in the parties having to take this matter to trial. City administrators refused further comment because of the pending court case. A court date has not been set, according to Mr. Verbal. In fact, the Claremont businessman said that he thought a price had been negotiated and agreed upon until a few weeks ago, when his lawyer informed him the city had rejected the discussed settlement in favor of a trial. Mr. Verbal could not disclose the terms of the negotiation, but maintained he was taking a good hit in order to resolve the matter.
I thought we would put this to rest. Nobody wants to go to trial, its kind of a headache.
Mike Verbal in response to non-settlement of parking fee claim against the city
Im disappointed, Mr. Verbal told the COURIER earlier this week. I thought we would put this to rest. Nobody wants to go to trial, its kind of a headache. Hassle aside, Mr. Verbal says he is prepared to take the city to task for what he feels is a debt unpaid. I guess they [the city] wanted to go to court. I cant imagine why they want to do that, he said. I think Ive got a pretty good case. Matters in the Verbals case date back to the early 2000s, when the couple says they were encouraged by the City Manager Glenn Southard to expand their business. They decided to do so in 2002, paying $108,000 ($119,333.66 with interest) for designation of 12 new parking spaces as dictated by the citys development requirements. Because there was not enough space to add 12 new spaces to the already packed east Village area, the Verbals money went toward an in-lieu parking fund, which the Verbals contract said can only be spent for the acquisition and development of off-street parking for the Claremont Village, or reimbursement of private providers of such parking. If not used for that specific purpose, the agreement promised reimbursement. At the time of the agreement, the Village included only businesses from Fourth Street south to First Street and Indian Hill east to College Avenue. A few years later, the Verbals sought to expand again after an upstairs tenant went out of business. They eventually decided against it after learning from the city that
they would need to provide 30 spaces at $9000 per space, or $270,000, in-lieu parking fees. In order to dissolve the earlier contract, the Verbals agreed to pay a $45,000 in-lieu parking fee, worth 5 parking spaces. After learning that their money was used for the Village West parking structure and not for additional parking on the east side, the Verbals filed a claim last August, hoping for an explanation and possible reimbursement. Their request was denied. Mr. Verbal said he felt he was driven to take matters a step further in filing a complaint that would lead toward possible litigation. Mr. Verbal paid the money and the city was contractually obligated to use that money within 10 years to do an assessment. It was not used, explained Lawrence C. Ecoff, the Verbals attorney. [Mr. Verbal] is being blamed for the citys wrongdoing. The city has denied the allegations while further asserting that the Verbals are not entitled to relief against the city as sought by the complaint. In turn, the city is asking that the court grant recovery of its legal costs associated with the suit. City officials maintain that the Verbals do not have sufficient facts to take legal action against the city and that their claim does not meet the necessary statute of limitations, which gives a maximum time period in which legal action can be taken against an alleged wrongdoing. Both parties began their negotiations on May 30, during which time several offers were made, as outlined in a series of court documents obtained by the COURIER. By mid-September, however, the city had reached the limits of its settlement authority as authorized by the Claremont City Council. The Verbals lawyer was notified that this was the citys last offer, according to their lawyer Christopher Pisano. A counter offer was sent a month later, and discussed at a closed session meeting of the Claremont City Council on November 12. Though a court date is still unknown, the COURIER will continue to provide updates as information becomes available. Beth Hartnett

POLICE BLOTTER
Friday, December 13 Two men made off with a pair of bronze plaques worth $1200 affixed to the front of the Claremont Unified School District office on San Jose Avenue Friday morning. Hopefully they struck a pose as the entire incident was caught on camera. Follow-up investigation is underway. Saturday, December 14 A couple of roommates who share an apartment in the 500 block of South Indian Hill Boulevard aired their dirty laundry for police on Saturday. Officers intervened when an argument over dirty garments ended with one roommate using a piece of rope to choke the other, according to Lt. Ciszek. The 43-year-old Claremont resident was arrested. Sunday, December 15 A 17-year-old Ontario resident and his father drove right into trouble on Sunday evening. The juvenile, driving his fathers car, was stopped by Claremont police on Sunday night near Foothill Boulevard and Dartmouth Avenue, where a sobriety checkpoint was underway. The first of several problems occurred when police determined the boy was driving unlicensed. As they handcuffed the teenager and carted him off, the boys father, 48-year-old Miguel Garibay of Ontario, made an unfavorable situation worse when he attempted to intervene. Attempting to fight officers was the last straw. Mr. Garibay was arrested for delaying an officer as well as for public intoxication. **** With the recent burglary activity, Brian McIntyre, an 18-year-old from Goleta, chose the wrong time to play a game with friends that involved sneaking into peoples backyards. Police spotted Mr. McIntyre near the 500 block of Geneva Avenue, where several witnesses reported seeing a prowler climbing into a backyard, according to Lt. Ciszek. Mr. McIntyre claims that a group of friends and he were playing Fugitive, a copsand-robbers outdoor game where participants attempt to get from Point A to Point B without being tagged. While police did not take issue with Mr. McIntyres choice of evening entertainment, they did take note of his outstanding warrant for reckless driving in Glendora and arrested him. Tuesday, December 17 Evening traffic came to a crawl near the 10 freeway entrance on Indian Hill
on Tuesday after a man allegedly jumped off the overpass onto Indian Hill, according to police. The man was found writhing in pain from a broken pelvis and covered in blood from substantial head trauma. He was flown to USC Medical Center for treatment. **** A man went to great lengths to deliver court documents on Tuesday. According to witnesses, the former boyfriend of a resident in the 600 block of Montgomery Circle climbed onto the patio of his exgirlfriends apartment around 1:30 a.m. He was allegedly seen attempting to open the locked rear slider, but his attempts were unsuccessful. He dropped off a restraining order before climbing back down, according to Lt. Ciszek. Though witnesses attempted to stop him, the man was able to flee before police could arrive. Investigation is underway. **** Police have yet to find the residential burglars, but they did stop a couple of other troublemakers making off with stolen property. Around 2:30 p.m., officers stopped 31-year-old Richard Stinson of Upland and 39-year-old Teri Randles of Claremont in the 200 block of Eagle Grove Avenue believed to be taking packages from peoples doorsteps, according to Lt. Ciszek. Both were arrested for burglarly.

Burglars continue Claremont holiday shopping spree

Between December 5 and December 10, four residential burglaries were reported in the northeast area of Claremont north of Base Line Road, according to police. This week, two more incidents were added to those casualties. On Monday, December 16, burglars entered a home in the 700 block of W. 10th Street by prying open a rear door. An estimated $2000 in cash and other property was stolen. The same day, crooks also broke into a home in the 200 block of Lamar Drive. They forced entry by smashing a bedroom window, according to Lieutenant Mike Ciszek. An unknown amount of jewelry and other miscellaneous items were taken. A third attempted burglary was reported on Friday, December 13 in the 3900 block of Shelter Grove Drive. Glass had been removed from the homes rear window, but it appeared the perpetrator had not made entry into the home, according to police. A report was taken. Each of these crimes occurred between 10 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. and in every case burglars gained entry by tampering with a rear door or window. Investigation is underway. Claremont residents are urged to immediately report any suspicious activity to the Claremont Police Department at 399-5411.
EDUCATION
The great debate warak Reddy and Nathan

Morgan went on to become the champions of an elimination-style debate tournament that took place over the course of several hours at Taylor Hall on Wednesday.
The event was the fourth annual Great Debate, which included much preparation by the honors world history and English students at Claremont High School. Preparation included reading Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe and doing in-depth research on the effects of imperialism on native peoples of the world. The teams were given the premise: Be it resolved the benefits of imperialism which occurred between 1700-1930 outweigh its negative consequences. The students took turns arguing either for the affirmative or the negative and fellow debate students judged their performances. Second place went to the team of Kiana Cavanaugh and Dorothy Kang.

Mr. Llanusa, who last year served as board vice president, received his new designation from his peers in an election held at Thursdays school board meeting. He characterizes it as a good development. Im very honored to have been selected to be president, and Im very flattered that my colleagues consider me to be worthy of the job, he said. Mr. Llanusa is joined by a new vice president, Hilary LaConte, who has been on the school board since 2007. New board member Nancy Treser Osgood was elected clerk. The naming of board officers was followed by a cookie and coffee reception, organized by Superintendent Jim Elsasser and his administrative assistant Liz Jefferson, which drew a number of attendees. After that, it was on to a busy meeting. Mr. Llanusas first task was to preside over the boards honoring of two community groups that have distinguished themselves by service to Claremont schools. The first of these was the Claremont High School Girls Track Team, which has had a particularly winning year. The second was Claremont Rotary, which recently gave San Antonio a $2,000 grant to help fund equipment for vocational programming at the continuation high school. Mr. Llanusa said Thursdays meeting was a great chance to get a feel for how the new CUSD Board of Education, which includes new board member Dave Nemer as well as Ms. Treser Osgood, will operate. I thought the meeting went very smoothly, he said. We handled a full agenda very efficiently. That shows COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff how well the board is going to work together for the upAfter eight years on the CUSD Board of Education, Steven coming year. Sarah Torribio

They make all things brighter

by John Pixley
wo women. Both were about my age. And both, like me, grew up in Claremont.
One of them, I knew well, lived a few houses down the street for years and our families were very close friends. The other I didnt know, but I heard about her and met her two or three times. Devon Williams Bishop and Amy Gusman Miller. It was sad to see their obituaries in these pages in the last month. Both succumbed to cancer. Both were 50 or so, and both left behind husbands, children and at least one parent. I already knew that DevonDevon Williams, as I knew her for much of my lifehad died. I was the one who gave the news to the rest of my family, who have lived up north in the Bay Area for many years now. But seeing her obituary with her picture was a hard jolt. It was even more of a sad surprise to see the obituary for Amy, who I knew as Amy Gusman when her mother Harriet listed as a survivor, was my teacher. These deaths, even coming after long illnesses, were bad shocksearth-shattering in their sadness. As when anyone dies leaving behind both or one parent (not to mention relatively young children), as when anyone my age or younger dies, they were especially upsetting and even more of a tragedy. Furthermore, their cold similarities were heart-aching. But these deaths also brought forth a flood of warm memories. With Devon, there are memories of being in a group of families who went to the same church and whose fathers taught at The Colleges. There are memories of shared birthday parties and Easter brunches, of spending a weekend together in Idyllwild every year when there was snow, of going caroling and having a party with a pinata at Christmas. I also remember my older sister and the girls in the other families spending hours and days and nights together. Later, I was thrilled to see Devon in an episode of thirtysomething on TV (okay, I was a fan!) and I have enjoyed exchanging Christmas cards in recent
observer
years. I think the last time I saw Devon was something like 10 years ago in the Village when she had a baby in a carriage and was in town visiting her father. Or was it a year or two later in Memorial Park on the Fourth of July? In the case of Amy, it is her mother that I remember. Mrs. Gusman was one of my last teachers at Danbury School, back when Danbury School was still at Danbury School (where the Hughes Community Center is and where, if Im not mistaken, Amy had attended earlier when there was a wing for non-disabled students). There was something unique about her. Although my other teachers at Danbury expected much of me despite my considerable disabilities, Mrs. Gusman pushed me even harder. She made it clear that she had high standards and had me doing a steady stream of reports and projectsnever mind that it meant hours at a typewriter (this was long before personal computers). There were many times when I wasnt happy with this, but, in so doing, she was a big part of why I was successful when I was mainstreamed at El Roble and went on to the high school and UC Riverside, where I spent days at a typewriter, and have thus been able to work as a writer. (Years later, I laughed when Carol Schowalter, another teacher with high standards who I had for English at El Roble and who died a few years ago, groaned that Mrs. Gusman had stole her Greek mythology unit and taught it to me, probably when Amy was in her class at El Roble.) Like all the bright lights that have been strung up everywhere this month, these memories give me light and warmth when it is dark and cold. Yes, it is sad tragicthat these beautiful, bright, energetic women have passed on too early, but their presence here and the memories that their presence brings enriches the
life I have in this community. We saw this most dramatically with the death of Nelson Mandela a few weeks ago. While Mandelas death was sad, although expected, and left South Africa with challenges, it was an opportunity to celebrate, even with singing and dancing, his tremendous impact and legacy in South Africa and the world. Not only that, it was a time to re-commit to his ideals of equality and reconciliation. Yes, Mandela was a leader who ended up having great world-wide impact, but these two women and their lively creativity and caring have had an impact, adding to what makes life here unique. In this season of gifts and hope, their lives, filled with love, and the memories of them leaves a warm, glowing sense of gratitude for all the good in life and inspiration to make the best of it. This is the same lively creativity and caring that we see and cheer for when the students perform at The Colleges. There was last weekends performances of Beethovens Ninth Symphony by the Claremont Concert Symphony and the Claremont Concert Choir, with students from Scripps, Claremont McKenna, Harvey Mudd and Pitzer Colleges, as well as the Claremont Chorale, under the direction of David Cubek. So many found these performances, celebrating the fortieth anniversary of Garrison Theater and the tenth anniversary of the Performing Arts Center at Scripps College, inspiring that people had to be turned away. There was also a recent Wednesday evening performance by the Pomona College Sea Chanty and Maritime Music Ensemble. Who knew there was a Sea Chanty and Maritime Music Ensemble at Pomona College? And who knew the students were learning sailor songs and how to play the concertina and hornpipes? This was essentially an open class, with the director, Gibb Schreffler, very much participating and noting that this was the first sea chanty class, not only at Pomona College but perhaps at any college. The students sang their hearts out, performing a slew of songs such as Walkalong, You Sally Brown, Stormalong John and Pull Down Below.
Municipal water works
Dear Editor: Prior to my election to the California State Assembly in November 2012, I served over 23 years on the Pasadena City Council. I was elected to the state assembly the same year Pasadena Water and Power celebrated 100 years of providing high quality, reliable municipal water service in Pasadena. Countless water-related decisions were made during my tenure on the city council and because Pasadena Water and Power is a community-owned utility our collective focus was on the customer, and not profit. I first became acquainted with the frustrations of Claremont residents during a PUC field hearing that was held at Taylor Hall in December 2011. The venue was filled with residents frustrated by the frequent, large and confusing rate increases and surcharges requested by Golden State Water Company. The issue of control and high rates that the residents of Claremont have raised is one that in the recent past received attention by the California Joint Legislative Audit Committee, because Californians face considerably higher water rates by for-profit water companies in comparison with municipal water providers. Today, Pasadena Water and Power delivers water to over 36,000 households and businesses in Pasadena and adjacent communities in the San Gabriel Valley. Local control of water has worked for Pasadena. In fact, local control works for 85 percent of Californians. So, I applaud the council and staff of Claremont for convening the town hall meeting on November 6, 2013, to provide the public an update on the possible acquisition of the Claremont water system. This open meeting is an excellent ex-
ample of how local control can benefit Claremont residents. I support an open and transparent process as a means of informing Claremont residents about the benefits and risks of establishing municipal water services in Claremont. I am hopeful that this important dialogue can take place and that the best interests of Claremont residents remains the primary focus.

READERS COMMENTS
A modest step forward
Dear Editor: Scott Grannis letter on health care (COURIER, December 13) without exaggeration contains nothing but exaggerations. Let me remind readers of one of them. When you give the right to health care you must restrict the rights of health care practitioners, who become government slaves... Since the citizens of the other developed nations have health care as a right, the health care workers in those countries, from Mr. Grannis view, must be enslaved. On the contrary, of course, not a single one of them is a slave. Mr. Grannis never asks himself why health care costs in the US are vastly higher than those of any other country. And, for all that money, where do we rank in the world in the quality of our health care system? The last I saw we were at 37th, between Costa Rica and Slovenia. As I was writing, the following announcement arrived on my desktop. A new study by researchers at the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health and McGill University in Montreal reveals that
the United States health care system ranks 22nd out of 27 high-income nations when analyzed for its efficiency of turning dollars spent into extending lives. The USs inferior ranking reflects a high price paid and a low return on investment. Contrary to Mr. Grannis gloom and doom prophecies, no other country has engaged in self-destructive behavior by recognizing a right of citizens to health care and designing a system to accomplish that. The US, on the other hand, has been failing individual citizens and the nation as a whole by resisting that transformation. The ACA is only a modest step forward because it isnt a bold attempt to go where so many others have gone before.

Turkey Trot success
Dear Editor: Claremont Sunrise Rotary wants to thank you for your participation in the sixth annual Turkey Trot. It was another huge success with nearly 1,900 runners and picture perfect weather. It was a great start to the Thanksgiving weekend. We couldnt have done it without the help of over 100 volunteers and Rotarians and their family members. It was great to see members of the different teams and players that our Claremont Youth Sports Scholarships (CYSS) program support help make our day safe and successful. We are grateful for the advice of Doug and Katie Thompson, who helped start the Turkey Trot but have since relocated to Tennessee. Doug has a been a driving force in the race since its beginning. Leo Bister has given many volunteer
hours this year, sharing his valuable experience in the area of running events and has been an important participant in the success of this years event. We would also like to thank the city of Claremont and, in particular, Loretta Mustafa and Maria Tipping in the engineering department. And thanks to Lori Davenport and all her colleagues in the Claremont Police Department for helping the race remain one of the safest runs in California. When we started the Turkey Trot, we were in the midst of a financial meltdown. Claremont Sunrise Rotary members went out to the community and still found willing sponsors to support our cause. Many of those sponsors have continued to support us, and new ones have joined us to increase our budget from previous years. Every dollar raised goes directly to support the many projects that Claremont Sunrise Rotary and Rotary International support. We will spend over $20,000 this year on the CYSS fund. Since our inception, we have granted more than 800 scholarships to local teams and athletes to pay for registration fees. Including this years effort, we are fast approaching nearly $100,000 of total funding. Claremont Sunrise Rotary is also part of a world community and provides books to a girls school in Tanzania, funds removal of land mines in Cambodia and helps install water tanks in Africa. Rotary International is fast closing in on complete eradication of polio. The Turkey Trot is now a personal and family tradition in Claremont that continues to be enjoyed by so many and gives back so much to our community.

Claremont Laemmle and Temple Beth Israel partner for Fiddler on the Roof sing-a-long on Christmas Eve
While the night before Christmas is usually a quiet time in the local Jewish community, this year, Claremonts Laemmle Theater is hoping to attract many of its members with a special singa-long presentation of the classic film Fiddler on the Roof, beginning at 7:30 p.m. on Christmas Eve, December 24. Weve done this with great success the last few years in West LA, and we thought it was time to share the fun at some of our other locations, Greg Laemmle, head of the theater chain, said. The presentation in Claremont is being done in partnership with Temple Beth Israel, the largest of the areas synagogues, who is offering discounted tickets for the show through their office. As soon as we heard they might bring it here, we got really excited, TBIs Cantor Paul Buch noted. Sing-a-longs are so much fun, and theyve really gotten popular. Having a chance to connect
OUR TOWN
the local Jewish community this way is great also, and besides, many of us already know a lot of the words. Cantor Buch, who has consulted on numerous local Fiddler productions, will give a brief introduction to the screening focused on the musical and social relevance of the film, which is based on the 1964 Broadway musical of the same name. The musical is based on the writing of Sholem Aleichem, who wrote dozens of both touching and provocative stories about Eastern European Jewish life around the turn of the 20th Century. On-screen titles and/or songbooks will allow the audience to fully participate in the action, and appropriate costumes are also invited. Advanced tickets, which offer a 45 percent savings over the price at the box office, may be obtained through the TBI office by calling (909) 626-1277.

Goals of the citys sustainability plan

by Freeman Allen
n the initial drafting of Claremonts Sustainable City Plan, how to implement the plan was an important consideration. A key feature of the plan was the formation of a community organization to work closely with the city government, but independent of it. Sustainable Claremont is that organization.
One of the first tasks for Sustainable Claremont was to create a mission statement, and for that we needed to articulate our goals. They are, broadly stated, to promote education and action in sustainabilitysocially, economically, and environmentallyin Claremont and beyond. That is our mission. Toward that end we proposed creating action groups in a number of areas, along with Sustainability Dialogs and these Demystifying Sustainability articles in the Courier. Some of our more specific goals have now been realized. For example: The Water Action Group is working toward water conservation and reclamation. Water reclamation plants at The Colleges, now on the drawing boards, will provide water for campus irrigation that will replace about five percent of the water we now import from the State Water Project.
Demystifying
SUSTAINABILITY
Our Schools Action Group worked toward establishing gardens at nearly all Claremont schools, and integrating these with nutritional and educational programs. More recently, a Tree Action Group was created after an independent association of local citizens formed Save Our Trees to suggest alternatives to the wholesale cutting of the pine trees in the Claremont Club neighborhood. This led to collaboration with Claremont city staff in rewriting the City Tree Policy Manual. A Sustainable Claremont Garden Club was created just over a year ago. One of the best ways to save water and energy, reduce pollution and create beauty is to garden sustainably. The Garden Club helps people do this in both their ornamental and edible gardens. Several other proposed action groups remain future opportunities. And, of course, not all of our possible activities were seen at the start and we take advantage of opportunities as they arise. One of these was creation of the CHERP program, which evolved from a seminar on Whole-House Energy Retrofits given by
Devon Hartman at Hartman-Baldwin Design Build. We connected, and Devon joined the Sustainable Claremont Board. Our hugely successful Community Home Retrofit Project is now being replicated in other cities, and becoming a model statewide and beyond. What now? Long-range forecasts predict challenging higher temperatures, water shortages and a growing population for the Inland Empire in decades to come. Claremonts Sustainable City Plan recognizes that, and for its implementation roles are assigned across the community. How can that be managed? A brief concept business plan has been drafted that proposes creation of a staffed bricks and mortar center for resources and innovation with Sustainable Claremont providing a core planning group to coordinate community involvement. Sustainable Claremont is willing to take a lead role in creating the proposed center, but we will need help. We invite all who are interested to join with us to make it happen.
Demystifying Sustainability is a project of Sustainable Claremont (sustainableclaremont.org), email address info@sustainableclaremont.org. Follow them on Facebook at facebook.com/sustainableclaremont and on Twitter #GreenClaremont.

Motorcycle Santa brings yuletide cheer to seniors
he holidays started early in the Inland Valley this year thanks to Lew Gleason. This local took on the role of Father Christmas for the seniors of REAL Connections, a Community Senior Services program that connects seniors with volunteer members to create a network of support for those who remain in their homes.
But this Kris Kringle is no jolly giant in a red. shiny sleigh. His ride is slightly smaller. This year, Santa Claus came to town on a Harley. Mr. Gleason, a recent retiree and new volunteer with REAL Connections, has spent the past two weeks with his alternative red sleigh in tow, taking seniors on a free open-air ride around town in an effort to spread holiday cheer and share his love for the open road. You are so much out in the elements you feel like youre one with nature. Thats the big attraction, Mr. Gleason said. There is so much freedom. There is no other feeling in the whole world. Nothing brings joy to this recent retiree like the throttle of an engine underfoot and the wide expanse of the world around him. A motorcyclist for the past 40 years, Mr. Gleason caught the cycling bug early. As a young boy, he was known to search through the family newspaper to extract the Sears advertisements, clad with shiny two-wheelers. I would circle them and put it on the dresser in my fathers room. He never

MOTORCYCLE SANTA continued from the previous page
bought me one, Mr. Gleason laughed. By mowing lawns and performing other side jobs, the motorcycle enthusiast finally saved enough to buy his own. At age 15 he became the proud new owner of a blue 1971 Yamaha 175. I fell in love from the day I swung my leg over, he said. It was in my blood. Over the years and through countless bikes, Mr. Gleason has been able to share his passion with others, joining a local motorcycle group and enjoying cross-country outings with his wife. The couple plan to hit the road again this coming January. Harley Christmas Rides began brewing years ago inspired by a Discovery segment on a retiree who had attached a sidecar to his Harley to give community members rides for the holidays. Mr. Gleason was so inspired he vowed to do the same. Retirement has finally afforded Mr. Gleason the chance to execute his plan with the help of friend Brandi Orton, REAL Connections director of member services. Ms. Orton was eager to make the concept a reality along with program members like Candace Schipul, who jumped at the chance to hop back on a bike for the first time in about 40 years. It was a shared love of motorcycling that connected her to her husband, Mark, more than 44 years ago. Mr. Schipul won her heart scooting about their college campus, his wifes attention caught by how his long legs curled up past the handlebars of his bike. In recent years the Claremont couple has ditched their two-wheelers for more solid ground, but Ms. Schipul seemed right at home on the back seat of Mr. Gleasons Harley, the wind blowing and the Christmas tunes flowing freely. While Mr. Gleason welcomes any reason to hop on his bike, the enthusiasm of his recent yuletide passengers gives him an extra boost. They grip you around the waist until you can hardly breath, he joked. But after 20 minutes or so they are laughing and having a blast. Mr. Gleason hopes to keep the spirit of the Harley holidays alive for years to come. If I can bring some happiness to someone then Im doing it right, he said. Beth Hartnett

Sid Gurule
OBITUARIES
ish as an interpreter and translator while working with students in the classroom. Unexpectedly, his fluency in French also served him during his years as an instructional assistant. He accompanied CHS French students on an exchange in Paris from 1997 to 1999, with more responsibility as the years went on. By 2000, Mr. Gurule had graduated with a bachelors degree in French and decided to pursue his goal, a career in teaching. He was hired by Diamond Bar High School and taught French from 2000-2002. He never cut ties with Claremont, as he taught summer school at CHS during his years at Diamond Bar. In 2002, he resigned from Diamond Bar and was hired by CHS, as an unexpected opening existed. During his 12 years at CHS, Mr. Gurule taught ELD, Spanish and courses in mythology and the short story in summer school, as well as all levels of French. By 2006, he had taken over the French program at CHS. He continued student travel to France, using both student exchanges and commercial travel plans. He also organized a student trip for lower level students to Montral, Canada. From 2006 to 2011, Mr. Gurule led two student trips a year, going to Montral in the fall and Paris in the spring. Mr. Gurules teaching philosophy was to create a family atmosphere where students worked together in pairs and small groups to discover and expand on various aspects of the French language. He incorporated novel methods as well as iPods in his later years. Mr. Gurule was diagnosed with colon cancer in late 2011 and underwent treatments in early 2012. The cancer was controlled with regular exams and changes in lifestyle. During the spring of 2013, he had complications and it was discovered the cancer had spread to the liver. Mr. Gurule underwent treatments and was making good progress from the spring to the end of August, when complications began forcing him to make the difficult decision to leave the classroom in September. Mr. Gurule always had a positive outlook, focusing on what he could do rather than what he couldnt do. He will be remembered for his passion, energy, perseverance and devotion to the success of students and the growth of the French program at CHS. He is survived by his wife Luz of six years and by his parents and brother. A memorial service for Mr. Gurule will be held in the Claremont High School East Gym on Monday, December 23, 2013 at 11 a.m. The service is open to the public. Mr. Gurule requested that in lieu of flowers, donations of time or money be made to local animals shelters or to the Humane Society, reflecting his affinity for cats.
French teacher, tennis player, animal lover

Sid Gurule was a French teacher at Claremont High School for nearly 13 years. On October 9, 2013, Mr. Gurule authored his own obituary and emailed it to CHS Principal Brett OConnor. Sid was an excellent teacher and will be missed by the CHS Community, Mr. OConnor shared. Sid Gurule, a French teacher at Claremont High School since 2002, died on November 15, 2013, peacefully surrounded by family and close friends. He had been battling colon and liver cancer for the last two years. He was 43 years old. Mr. Gurule was born on March 6, 1970 in Montebello and spent a large part of his childhood in the local area. As a child and youth, his interests were baseball, hockey, tennis, languages and eating. Mr. Gurule graduated from Charter Oak High School in Covina in 1988. He began university and studied locally and outside of the country. He enjoyed success in tennis and competed in local tournaments. This led him on a path he hadnt anticipated. Mr. Gurule began teaching tennis for a local tennis professional and, in 1990, became certified himself. He began teaching tennis, eventually running programs in the Country Estates at Diamond Bar as well as for the cities of Diamond Bar, Walnut and Covina. He supervised and organized small group, large group and private lessons. His success teaching tennis at the lo-
cal level led him to coach both JV and varsity-level tennis at Charter Oak High from 1990 to 1995. Mr. Gurules passion for language also greatly influenced his life. Being trilingual by his teenage years, speaking French as well as Spanish, he had opportunities to travel and teach tennis. Although successful and content teaching tennis, Mr. Gurule eventually decided to undertake new challenges. In 1996, he opted to scale down his tennis programs and began pursuing a degree in French. He was hired by the Claremont Unified School District as an instructional assistant in the English language development program, using his expertise in Span-

James Fahringer
Longtime Claremont Symphony Orchestra music director
Dr. Earl James Jim Fahringer, Claremont Symphony Orchestra music director emeritus, died on December 7, 2013. He was 78. Dr. Fahringer was born on April 2, 1935 in Los Angeles. He developed into an accomplished multi-instrumentalist who was especially adept at the viola, violin and percussion, and played in symphonies as a young teen. His first music teacher was his fathers sister Marjorie Fahringer. After graduating from high school he attended Cal State Los Angeles, where he earned his bachelors and masters degrees in music education and conducting. He also met his future wife, Delphine, at Cal State LA when they were members of the universitys chamber singing ensemble. Both musically inclined, the couple was ideally suited to one another. Dr. Fahringer went on to earn a Doctor of Musical Arts in vocal performance from the University of Southern California in 1976. Delphine, a gifted opera singer, earned a bachelors in primary education from Cal State LA and then a masters in reading and music from the University of La Verne and worked as a private voice coach for many years. They were married on August 9, 1959 in the First United Methodist Church in Glendale. Dr. Fahringer began his lengthy career right out of college as a teacher in the Duarte Unified School District. Although he was primarily a music teacher, he also taught English and history. He eventually left Duarte for the Pomona Unified School District, where he taught music from 1976 until his retirement in 2002. Anthony Aronovici was one of Dr. Fahringers many students at Emerson Middle School in Pomona as well as a CYSO member from 1990 until 1997. Dr. Fahringer was the first teacher to continuously insist on my musical endeavors. To hear of his passing was a shock, Mr. Aronovici shared. Dr. Fahringer also served as director of choral music at the University of La Verne for several years in the 1970s, where he had a profound impact on Karen Oaks, a ULV student from 1974 to 1976, whom he taught how to accompany choirs. I fondly remember him and his positive influence, she said. He worked well with college students, always encouraging them in a positive and friendly way. He was a good role model. A longtime resident of La Verne, Dr. Fahringer dedicated the bulk of his musical life to the Claremont Symphony Orchestra (CSO). He joined the CSO, established in 1953 as a nonprofit aimed at providing the local community with free classical concerts, during the 1959-1960 season. Before long, Dr. Fahringer was serving as assistant conductor with CSO founder and music director George Denes, along with lending his talent as a string in-
strumentalist to the orchestra. When Mr. Denes retired in 1979, Dr. Fahringer replaced him as music director, a role he would continue until his retirement in 2010. During his remarkable years of service, Dr. Fahringer was involved in the establishment of a number of traditions, including creating the annual Messiah Sing-along as well as founding the Claremont Youth Symphony Orchestra in 1984, for which he served as conductor for 20 years. Mrs. Fahringer also contributed greatly to the orchestra, as soprano soloist and manager of the CYSO. Jim was the epitome of the dedicated music educator, and the Claremont Symphony was his family, CSO president Cecilia Cloughly commented. Claremonter Michael Fay also praised him, saying, If there is an orchestral institution in Claremont, it is embodied in Dr. James Fahringer. Percussionist Sue Hodson is one of many CSO members to weigh in with fond memories of Dr. Fahringer on the CSO website, www.ClaremontSO.org, which features a tribute page and memorial photo gallery honoring the beloved music director. I remember Jim for his love of percussion, she wrote. What more could a percussionist ask for than a conductor who always welcomed more volume and who never shushed us! Jim loved all instruments and all musicians, and he never minded wearing his heart on his sleeve. Jim will long be remembered in the orchestra, and his spirit will infuse all we do for a long time to come.
Dr. and Mrs. Fahringerwhose vocal mentors included Metropolitan Opera soprano Ruth Miller Chamleewere also active in many choral and opera groups in various parts of the Los Angeles area and soloed elsewhere in the United States. Dr. Fahringer was music director at several churches for many years and conducted the Mens Chorus of the Los Angeles Athletic Club. He was amazing. The man had four jobs, Ms. Cloughly marveled. He would rehearse on Monday night with the Claremont Symphony. On Tuesday night, he would rehearse the Claremont Youth Symphony. On Wednesday night, he would rehearse his church choir and on Thursday, he would drive to Los Angeles and conduct at the LA Athletic Club. Dr. and Mrs. Fahringer were perhaps most proud of their discovery and mentoring of Spectrum, a Motown group in Las Vegas. After listening to the ensemble perform three nights in a row during a 2003 Vegas excursion, the Fahringers approached the group, asking if they were interested in appearing with CSO. Since the first Motown Pops collaboration with the Claremont Symphony in 2004, Spectrum and its sister group Radiance have presented a combined total of more than 50 Pops performances throughout North America. The relationship thatensuedbetween Delphine, Jim and me went far beyondscope of that of a guest pops artist and a director of music of anorchestra, Spectrum leader Cushney Roberts wrote. Itwill be cherished for the personal and professional experiences it spawned for years to come. In a 2003 La Verne Magazine article, Dr. Fahringer shared the elements he felt are demanded of a good conductor: a huge amount of time and a love for music and people. There is an enormous amount of humility to go with [the job], because any conductor will tell you there is actually no power in conducting, Dr. Fahringer said. The only power there is, is in trying to get other musicians, who are in some cases better than you are, to play something together. Robert Sage, his successor as music director of the CSO, perhaps best summarized the life and contributions of Dr. Fahringer: Jim was a consummate musician whose kind nature and considerable musical talent made a positive impact on the lives of thousands through the magic of music. Dr. Fahringer is survived by an aunt, Marjorie Fahringer, and her daughter Jan Cangro, both of Redondo Beach. He is also survived by numerous relatives, friends and colleagues in various part of the country. A crypt-side service was held on December 19 at Forest Lawn Memorial Park. Members of the CSO provided music and tributes. The officiant was Rev. Richard Garner of the First United Methodist Church of Glendale. Dr. Fahringer will be honored at two performances of the annual CSO Messiah Sing-along, which he initiated over 30 years ago. They will be held on Sunday, December 22 at 1:30 and 4 p.m. at Bridges Hall of Music, 150 E. 4th St. at Pomona College in Claremont. (Doors open at 1 and 3:30 p.m.) In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to the to Claremont Symphony Orchestra at PO Box 698, Claremont, CA 91711. Please designate the James and Delphine Fahringer Fund on your check.

Marian G. Toovey
Marian Beatrice Golden Toovey, an offand-on resident of Claremont for over 50 years, died at home on October 29, 2013 after a three-month decline in health, ultimately due to lung cancer. She was 88. Ms. Toovey, known as Bamby to many of her friends and family, was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on January 7, 1925 to Frank Demmer and Gertrude Trudy MacCoy Golden. The nickname Bamby came from the local Italian green grocer, who said the Goldens daughter reminded him of his own little bambina. The Golden family moved to La Grange, Illinois, by then one family member larger with the arrival of her brother Tom, just before the Great Depression. They settled into one of the first Frank Lloyd Wright-designed single-family suburban homes built in the country. Ms. Tooveys father, a graduate of the University of Wisconsin, was a multi-talented entrepreneur who worked several jobs and managed to make ends meet through those difficult times. After graduating from high school, Ms. Toovey was encouraged by her mother to sign up for college at the University of Chicago. She had been an avid reader from the time she was a little girl, so she enrolled as an English major. To defray the cost of school, she got a job working nights as a receptionist at the university hospital. During those years, under the University of Chicagos Stagg football field was hidden one of the top-secret staging places for the Manhattan Project, the code name for the development of the atomic bomb. One evening, while Ms. Toovey was on duty at the reception desk, a group of men in trench coats and military uniforms burst into the lobby, and huddled around a black-faced man. Suddenly, a flurry of doctors and hospital staff converged and, without a word, whisked the man with the black face to the emergency ward. One of the men in a trench coat stopped to tell Ms. Toovey that she was to forget everything she had just seen. She said that would be easy, for she really wasnt sure she had seen anything. Years later, she found out that the classified patient was Italian physicist Enrico Fermi, one of the men referred to as the father of the atomic bomb, whose face had been blackened in a minor explosion in his lab. After college, Ms. Toovey was hired as a flight attendant for United Airlines. She made regular runs between Chicago and Denver aboard Uniteds state-of-the-art DC-3 passenger air ships. She was hopping a streetcar during a layover in Denver, on her way to dinner with fellow United employees, when she began to lose her balance. A young marine caught her by the arm and pulled her on board. He was, in her mind, a little brash but nevertheless a gentleman. He was Lieutenant Trace E. Toovey, a Navy/Marines combat pilot stationed in the Pacific during the war, now on leave and being reassigned as a reserve pilot to be based in Honolulu. They were married soon after and lived on base in Honolulu until 1951, when they moved to Laguna Beach, California. In 1952, their first child Christopher was

sion for traditional jazz and made her a little homesick for Claremont. In 1978, Ms. Toovey read about a program in which women under retirement age were being trained as apprentice carpenters to help with the revamping of the State Capitol Building. To boot, it was a union job paying union scale, which was more than she was making at the state archives. She joined the program and worked as an apprentice finish carpenter for two years. Toward the end of her stay in Sacramento, Ms. Toovey started to travel. She and a friend who was a recently retired lobbyist for the California Teachers Association had talked for some time about traveling abroad. Both women were hesitant about traveling alone and neither had the time to travel anyway. Now, the timing was right and they became traveling partners for the next 10 years. Their travels included many places of interest throughout the US like Savannah, Georgia, the home of musician Johnny Mercer, New Orleans, the home of Dixieland Jazz, and a trip to Washington, DC. Finally, Ms. Toovey took her first trip abroad, traveling to Ireland for a three-week tour. In the mid-1980s, Ms. Toovey returned to Claremont. For a short time, she taught US history at Mt. San Antonio College. One semester, she had a group of firefighters taking her course as a prerequisite for their certification program. They were much more interested in the politics and policies behind the history. They asked indepth questions that she often had difficulty providing simple, satisfying answers to. This was the experience that triggered her return to CGU and the beginning of her pursuit of a doctorate in government and public policy. After her short stint at Mt. SAC, Ms. Toovey began looking for a job that would be more flexible and that worked around her studies. While volunteering at the Claremont Colleges International Festival, she learned there was a growing need for teachers in the local English as a Second Language program. Ms. Toovey applied to the ESL certification program, was accepted and soon certified and began her 10-year career teaching ESL. The program was a good fit with her studies. As an ESL teacher, she was immersed in culturally diverse groups of students, with firsthand accounts of life in other parts of the world where many of her students homelands were influenced on a daily basis by US foreign policy. In the late 90s, Ms. Toovey began to experience problems retaining the information from the reading for school. It finally became enough of a problem that she backed out of the program at CGU and retired from teaching ESL. She stayed in contact with many of her ESL students, however, hosting tea at her apartment for several years with a group of Korean women who had been students of hers, to socialize and practice English conversation. Though her academic pursuits were finished, Ms. Toovey stayed very active and involved. She joined Elder Hostel and traveled with that organization and the Pomona Travelers on tours that included Greece and Uzbekistan. She also traveled with her two sons and their families to Scotland. She was a member of the League of Women Voters and of the Rembrandt Club. She was a Pomona Valley Hospital volunteer, a volunteer and gallery-sitter at the dA Center for the Arts in Pomona, and regularly volunteered at the Claremont Colleges International Festival. Ms. Toovey also took classes at the Joslyn Center. One of her favorite classes was the All the Worlds a Stage theater class, which focused on reading and studying a chosen play and then getting out to a theater to see a production of the play. The last eight years of Ms. Tooveys life were made more difficult with bouts of recurring Basal cell cancer and other healthrelated problems. She said she was annoyed at how much the medical stuff was cramping her style. However, she would make the most of her runs for treatment at UCLA Medical Center by having lunch at her favorite French restaurant in the Farmers Market off Fairfax in LA. Up until the last few months of her life, she remained resourceful, ferociously independent and socially active. Ms. Toovey is survived by her three children and two grandchildren. A memorial gathering will take place on Sunday, January 5, 2014 from 2 to 6 p.m. at the dA Center for the Arts, located at 252 S. Main Street #D in Pomona. The Night Blooming Jazzmen will play. The family suggests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the dA Center for the Arts, 252 S. Main St. #D, Pomona, CA 91766.
born. A year later, they moved to Redondo Beach. In 1954, their daughter Patricia was born and in 1955 a second son, Curtis, was born. In 1958, Mr. Toovey was working as an executive pilot for a large construction company. His plane was based in El Monte. He had begun to express his unhappiness with his daily drive home from the warm and sunny LA inland back to the cold and dank coastal home of the gray cloud, Redondo Beach. So began the weekend expeditions inland, with Claremont being the final choice as the Toovey familys new hometown. Claremont reminded Mr. Toovey so much of his boyhood hometown in New Jersey with all the trees, and Ms. Toovey had suggested they drive a little further east each time, having read about The Claremont Colleges and the graduate program. She was quietly entertaining the idea of going back to school. Ms. Toovey returned to college and received her teaching credential soon after settling into Claremont. She taught second grade in the Pomona Unified School District for the next 12 years. The family moved three times while in Claremont, from Annapolis Drive to Green Street and finally to Syracuse Drive. Shortly after the last move, Ms. Toovey took time off from teaching and again her interests turned toward a graduate degree, this time a masters degree in American history. Her masters, which she obtained at the end of the 1960s, was the precursor to her pursuit of a greater interest in government and public policy. In 1972, Mr. and Ms. Toovey divorced. Ms. Toovey kept the household together for the next few years until all of her children were ready to take off on their own. Then she sold the house and moved to Sacramento where, as she said, I can get closer to the subject, which of course was the seat of Californias government. While at the State Capitol, she landed a job as a clerk in the state archives. She took art and architecture history classes and a course in ceramics. One of her favorite annual events in Sacramento was the Sacramento Music Festival, which included the Society for the Preservation of Dixieland Jazz and, much to her surprise, featured her old Claremont Green Street neighbor Chet Jaeger and the Night Blooming Jazzmen. The festival rekindled her pas-

Girls soccer gets high-scoring win in first home game
unior forwards Ryley Settles and Julia Cantrell scored two goals a piece to lead Claremont to a 5-0 win over Glendora on Tuesday at CHS. The victory gave the Wolfpack their fourth win of the season with three losses and one tie.
In its first home match of the year, Claremont showed why they would contend for a top spot in the tough Sierra League. The Pack got off to a hot start SPORTING against the Tartans, as senior midfielder LIFE Megan Renken put the Pack ahead early with a goal in the fifth minute. In the 10th minute, Settles netted her first goal of the day to give Claremont a 2-0 lead. Less than four minutes later, Settles put in her second to tack on the Packs third goal in 15 minutes. The Pack wasnt done scoring before the break, as Cantrell netted a goal in the 40th minute to give Claremont their highest first-half scoring total this season. Head coach Tim Tracey said it was important for Claremont to come out and score early after struggling in that regard the first seven games. We havent been at 100 percent, Coach Tracey said. This is the first game that weve been actually at 100 percent of our starting lineup, and its all about the development. We tried to put the game away early. The second half was a quiet one for both teams, with the Pack carrying over its dominant defensive effort from the first half. Claremont fought through a 30-minute scoring drought to open the second half and added its fifth goal in the 79th minute when Cantrell broke away from the opposition and tallied her second of the game. With its 5-0 win, Claremont now has three shutouts in its first eight matches. The Packs defense is playing its best ball of the young season, having allowed only two goals over the last three matches. The Lady Pack graduated almost all of its defenders from a year ago, and their effort was an encouraging sign for a maturing backline. It was huge for us, Coach Tracey said. Theyre new to the position and were working hard in the training sessions to organize and to make sure that we can play at this level and defend well at this level.

North Orange County Championships. The Pack fell to Villa Park, 79-66, on Monday and Los Alamitos, 69-40, on Tuesday. After a 20-point first quarter put Claremont up early against the Villa Park Spartans, the Wolfpack was outscored in the remaining three quarters to give the Pack its third loss in its last four games. Claremont had four scorers in double digits, including senior Omar Mahmoud with 17, senior Chris Edward with 14, sophomore Nakia Harris-Neal with 12 and Quincy Hailes with 10. Tuesdays matchup with Los Alamitos featured Claremonts lowest first-half scoring output of the season. After totaling four points in the first quarter, the Pack tacked on 11 points in the second to give them 15 firsthalf points. They trailed 41-15 at halftime.
Claremont outscored the Griffins 13-6 in the third quarter to pull within 19. Los Alamitos added 22 points in the fourth to clinch its fifth victory in six games. Sophomore Harlan Maass led Claremont in scoring with 15 points, connecting on five of seven shot attempts. Claremont will play its fourth game of the tournament tomorrow against an opponent yet to be determined. Girls basketball opponents vary greatly in skill levels After going 4-1 in the Claremont tournament last week, the Pack split its two games in this weeks San Dimas Tournament.

Senior Danna Robles, the scoring leader averaging 9.5 points per game, gave an outstanding defensive effort to help carry the Pack to their fifth win of the season. Claremont entered the game averaging 47 points to Gladstones 24, and came in averaging more rebounds, assists and steals per game. In Tuesdays loss to Lakeside, the Pack struggled getting their offense going in the first half, as displayed by their 9 total points at the break. They outscored the Lancers 12-9 in the third quarter and put up 11 more in the fourth, but Lakeside
never let Claremont get back in the game as they held on for the 24-point victory. The Packs next game will be in the Don Lugo Shawnae Harris Memorial Tournament on Monday. Boys soccer holds win streak With its 2-1 win over Etiwanda on Tuesday, the Claremont boys soccer team moved to 4-2-2 in the season.

The COURIER is delighted to present another Claremont Kids section. This time around, we have several fun holiday activities, some interesting News Bites, plus a story written by cub reporter Noah Witt. Noah, a 10-year-old Claremonter who is homeschooled, shared his experience of crafting a homemade Peanuts-themed nativity scene to decorate his yard. Good grief, hes talented! Our favorite part of Claremont Kids is that it showcases work by kid reporters and photographers. We have been hearing lately from lots of our youngest readers who are interested in putting their creative stamp on a COURIER feature, and wed love to hear from more. Were also looking for your jokes, drawings, recipes and other ideas. For instance, you might want to send us a photograph of your favorite pet with a caption describing why he or she is so special. Please include your name, age and school. As with anything you do online, make sure its okay with your parents first. Send your submissions to me, Sarah Torribio, at storribio@claremont-courier.com with the phrase Claremont Kids in the subject line. Or email me to let me know youd like to write a story or snap some photos. Our kids pages appear on the third Friday of each month. Look for us next month on Friday, January 17. See you then!

t can be tough to come up with money for Christmas presents, particularly when youre a kid. Luckily, there is truth to the saying, The best things in life are free.
One great gift-giving idea is to make coupons promising that you will do nice things for your loved ones. Maybe you can fill out a certificate letting mom or dad know you will do the kind of chores that make them smile, such as doing the dishes for several nights, walking your dog for a week or undertaking a really good room-cleaning. You could also vow to give your parents a break,
Christmas coupons
say by going to bed by 8 p.m. on a Friday night. You could give someone the gift of affection, with a coupon for a dozen kisses or a hundred hugs, or the gift of attention. How about 10 bedtime stories for your younger brother or sister, or lessons in a skill like tying their shoes? Grandparents also always appreciate the gift of time. You might want to draw up a certificate good for several games of checkers with grandma or grandpa. Cut out the Christmas coupons below and fill them out, or make your own out of construction paper. The skys the limit. Only you know what the people on your gift list want the most from you. Remember, the best things in life are free!

Noah Witts home-made Peanuts nativity scene in Claremont.
Knock, knock.

Who's there? Chris! Chris who? Christmas!
Claremont kid crafts special nativity, Peanuts-style

year ago, I decided to make a Peanuts-themed nativity for my front yard. I have been reading the comics since I can remember. I chose Peanuts because I like drawing, and I know how to draw almost all the characters. I also thought it would be more exciting and fun than making a regular nativity. My dad and I really like doing woodworking projects together.
I made Woodstock to be Jesus. Charlie Brown is shown as Joseph, Linus as a shepherd, Lucy as Mary and Snoopy as a sheep. We also made a manger and a stable. This year, I decided to add the Three Wise Men to the scene: Franklin, Schroeder and Pig Pen. I outlined all the characters freehand, cut them out with a jigsaw (with a little help from my dad), sanded them smooth and

painted them from memory. The characters were all created out of scrap wood we got through Freecycle, and the stable was made from old fence boards. Making them was a lot of fun. As I set it up, I thought about how much God has blessed this country, where we get to celebrate Christmas freely. Another tradition that my family and I like doing is going to see all the living nativities and Jerusalem marketplaces in the area. We all love seeing all the real camels, donkeys and sheep and getting to feel what it was like in that time period. As this year comes to an end, I wish you a joyous Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Q. How much did Santa pay for his sleigh?

Deer Santa Along with pulling Santas sleigh, reindeer are best known for their impressive antlers. Did you know, however, that they arent permanent? Reindeer, both male and female, grow a new pair of antlers each summer. The antlers are covered with a soft skin called velvet, which the reindeer rub off around October by scraping against trees and anything else available. In late November to mid-December, male reindeer begin to shed their antlers. Its a painless process, almost like losing a tooth. Female reindeer usually keep their antlers until after they give birth in the spring. A reindeers antlers can be used to defend its territory or its young, or to establish dominance. Mostly, however, hungry reindeer use their antlers to push snow aside so they can get to the grass they crave. Let there be light Christmas lights are beautiful to look at and a great way to spread holiday cheer. For some people, they are also a source of friendly but fierce competition. In 2011, David Richards and his family of Canberra, Australia set the Guinness world record for the most Christmas lights on a single residence with 331,038 lights. They were beat out the following year to the tune of 15,000 lights by a New York family. This year, the Richards family has reclaimed their title with 502,165 lights. Mr. Richards began hanging lights back in October to pull off the dazzling display. While the lights last, a local power company has agreed to pay the festive familys $2,300-per-month electric bill. A few neighbors have complained about Mr. Richards love of lights. But his enthusiasm is probably appreciated by his three kids, Aidan, 13, Caitlin, 10, and Madelyn, 6. Two years ago, the Richardses accepted donations from visitors, raising $78,000 for causes benefiting children. They hope to raise as much or more money this year. Talk about bright ideas! Show in the sky The Northern Lights are colorful displays of lights that appear in the sky near the magnetic poles of the earth. Known as Aurora borealis in the north and Aurora australis in the south, the dancing curtains of lights are most often green and pink, but can also appear in shades of red, yellow, blue and violet. Northern Lights are caused when electrically Flickr photo by Andi Gentsch charged particles from the sun enter the earths atmosphere. Some of the best places to see them include Alaska, northwestern Canada and parts of Norway, Greenland, Iceland and Siberia. Researchers say that auroral activity peaks about every 11 years; 2013 is a big year for this natural phenomenon. Winter is the best time to see Northern Lights, due to the long periods of darkness and the frequency of clear lights. The website for Canadas Northern Lights Centre describes the natural fireworks like this: The lights appear in many forms from patches or scattered clouds of light to streamers, arcs, rippling curtains or shooting rays that light up the sky with an eerie glow. Want to see them for yourself? National Geographic has posted a cool YouTube time lapse video of the Northern Lights in Norway at the following URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izYiDDt6d8s.

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 recorders 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 for information regarding the trustees sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com , using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-13-542171-VF . 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. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation 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.

T.S. No. 13-24504 APN: 8671-050-041 NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 6/7/2011. 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 PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier's check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state will be held by the duly appointed trustee as shown below, of all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described below. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale.

If no street address or other common designation 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. 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 (714) 848-9272 or visit this Internet Web site www.elitepostandpub.com, using the file number assigned to this case 13-24504. 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.
