Dear Editor:
I was sad to read that Dave Stewart will
be leaving his position as principal at Vista
School. I am a longtime neighbor whose
daughters both attended Vista. The article
in last Fridays paper presented many of
the initiatives that Dave energetically
brought to Vista. I would like to recognize
an additional area of achievement that was
not mentioned in the article.
During the two years that Dave led Vista
while STAR Testing was still being conducted every May, the percentage of students at Vista who ranked at proficient or
above in English Language Arts climbed
from 58 percent before he arrived to 72
percent two years later. Similarly in math,
the percentage of students at proficient or
above rose from 70 percent to 82 percent.
Based on these results, Vista rose from
being rated in the 70th percentile of California schools to being rated in the 90th
percentile. Many people worked with our
students to achieve these results, but I
think Dave Stewart deserves recognition
for these dramatic results, as well as his innovative methods.

Bernie Sanders
Dear Editor:
The New York Times ran a savagely negative article about Bernard Sanders in its
July 3 issue. In this article, Susan Lyall
(Bernard Sanders revolutionary roots)
depicted the Vermont senator and presidential candidate as a youthful hippie and
crack-pot revolutionary.
I roomed with Bernie Sanders at the
University of Chicago in 1963, and he was
not the person Ms. Lyall described. At that
time, 21 years old and a graduating senior,
Bernie Sanders was more serious than
most undergraduates, even those at
ADVENTURES
Chicago, who were and are more serious

than most others. He was serious about political change, supported Martin Luther
Kings civil rights movement, and he
called himself a democratic socialist.
He was reading Erich Fromms Escape
from Freedom, a psychiatrists evaluation
of why insecure and frightened people embrace totalitarianism.
He had a girlfriend named Debbie, and
they went to the beach on weekends in his
jalopy. He did not touch drugs or alcohol.
He had the Brooklyn accent. He was unusually moralistic, intelligent and keen in
argumentation, but not self-promoting. He
had many friends.

Uncommon Good
Dear Editor:
I enjoyed reading the article about Uncommon Good in the July 3 edition of the
COURIER. I often purchase my produce
there and appreciate the high quality.
I did, however, notice that the article
failed to mention that in addition to the
hours of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through
Friday, Uncommon Good is open on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. for those of us
who work during the week.

We have a new tradition in Claremont.
Only certain people are allowed to see the

Perhaps next year only certain people
will be allowed at Memorial Park. Then
after that, only certain people will be allowed to watch the parade. The list of traditions goes on!

Planning commission says yes to new freeway sign ordinance
he Claremont Planning Commission adopted a resolution Tuesday

night recommending that city
council approve an ordinance to allow
code changes to freeway-oriented signs
with electronic message displays.
Current code requirements, which were adopted in

1990, limit electronic message display signs in areas
zoned Commercial Freeway. There is only one location in Claremont that meets the proposed requirementsthe vacant property west of the existing auto
dealerships off Interstate 10.
The property along the 10 freeway is currently
owned by Brandywine Homes. The Orange Countybased real estate developer had shown interest last year
in developing the Auto Center Drive property for residential use. However, the project came to an abrupt halt.
According to city staff, Brandywine is currently negotiating with Premier Automotive of Claremont to purchase the property for a Dodge/Jeep/Chrysler
dealership. Ostensibly, the potential new owners will
want an electronic sign equal to its potential neighbors,
Claremont Toyota.
Premier has applied for a conditional use permit to
allow a car dealership in an existing building in south
Claremont. A hearing for that request is set for Tuesday,
July 21 at 7 p.m. in the council chamber.
To be zoned Commercial Freeway, the area must provide for a concentration of major commercial uses such
as hotels, service stations, restaurants, auto sales and big
box retail that are dependent on their exposure to largevolume freeway traffic.
According to Brian Desatnik, Claremonts director of

Even the Vons Center is [zoned] Limited

district parcels off the 210.

Calls to Brandywine Homes and Premier for confirmation of negotiation were not returned as of print
deadline.
In 2011, Norms Restaurant erected its 99-foot-tall
sign, 54 feet of which towers above the freeway grade.
That same year, Super King installed its 80-foot sign.
Businesses prefer the higher signs, Mr. Desatnik
said at the time. We are trying to let people see them in
time to exit.
Under the proposed amendments, the Architectural
Commission may approve a freestanding freeway-oriented sign that is larger than what is otherwise permitted. Restrictions prohibiting signs in motion or those
that expose images for less than four seconds or at intervals of less than one second would be removed. City
staff believes the existing standard is overly restrictive,
as technology has evolved over the past several years.
Code restrictions dictate that large development complex signs will stand no taller than 50 feet and must be
compatible with the architectural design and details of

the complex. In addition, the sign may only advertise
the businesses conducted, services rendered or goods
produced or sold within the complex that the sign is intended to serve. Public service information, like the
time, date, temperature and weather, will continue to be
permitted.
Despite several concerns from residents regarding
potential CEQA violations, Mr. Desatnik assured the
commission that the project is exempt from CEQA requirements as CEQA applies only to projects that have
the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. According to the city, the project in question
was found to have none. Claremont residents Barbara
and Ray Fowler disagreed.
In a July 6 letter drafted to the Planning Commission
from attorney Amy Minteer on behalf of the couple,
Ms. Minteer noted that several of the proposed revisions
could potentially have aesthetic impacts or could adversely impact historic resources.
The couple urged the commission to either revise
the amendments to the sign ordinance to eliminate potentially impactful changes or prepare an initial study to
analyze the potential impacts associated with the
amendments.
The Fowlers warned that only through a thorough
analysis of these issues will the city be able to evaluate
whether these amendments are in the longterm best interest of Claremont.
When and if the new Dodge dealership lands in
Claremont, the owners will be required to visit the architectural commission for sign approval. The planning
commissions recommendation for approval will be forwarded to city council for consideration on July 28.

Scripps president to leave college, helm Natural History Museum
cripps College announced Wednesday that Lori Bettison-Varga, president of the school since 2009, will
leave her post this fall. Ms. Bettison-Varga
has been named president and director of
the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, pending approval by the Los
Angeles County Board of Supervisors.
President Bettison-Varga has led the college with
distinction over the past six years, building on a legacy
of academic excellence, launching ambitious new
strategic initiatives and enhancing our national and international profile, Mark Herron, chair of the Scripps
College Board of Trustees, said. We know the Natural
History Museum will benefit from her passion for education, science and civic and community engagement,
just as we have at Scripps College.
During her tenure, Ms. Bettison-Varga advanced
Scripps reputation as a superior liberal arts college and
a leader in womens education. Student applications increased 20 percent, resulting in a more selective admission process. The college launched an ambitious $175
million campaign, with $115 million raised to date for
Newhall, vice president for academic affairs and dean

of faculty, as interim president effective mid-October.
Ms. Marcus-Newhall will work closely with the president to manage the transition until her departure.
It has been an honor and privilege to serve Scripps
College for the past six years and to support its legacy
of foundational coursework in interdisciplinary humanities and distinctive capstone senior research experience, and its commitment to the liberal arts in its
mission to develop future generations of women leaders, Ms. Bettison-Varga said in a letter to the Scripps
community.
Scripps is not the only Claremont college to lose its

Chivalry may not be dead but if you
assault someone in the process, it will
get you arrested. According to Lieutenant
Mike Cizsek, Brian Utzig told police he
went to pick up a female friend in
Pomona around noon when he witnessed
Andre Williams assault her and steal her
cell phone. Mr. Utzig pursued the thief on
foot, catching up with Mr. Williams in the
parking lot of Foothill Country Day
School where a physical confrontation
ensued. Mr. Utzig kicked and punched
the 27-year-old man in the throat before
fleeing the scene. Claremont police
caught up with the knight-in-shining-armor-turned-suspect and the thief-turnedvictim positively identified the 40-yearold Highland Park resident as his
assailant. Mr. Williams told officers that
Mr. Utzig had also swung a knife at him.
The suspect didnt argue the point, but
added hed only picked up the knife after
the thief dropped it for fear that he would
use it against him. Mr. Utzig was arrested
by Claremont police for assault with great
bodily force without the use of a firearm
and booked at CPD jail where he was
later released on a $30,000 bond. Pomona
police took Mr. Williams into custody
for the assault on the woman and he was
charged with one misdemeanor count of
injuring a spouse, cohabitant, fianc,
boyfriend, girlfriend or childs parent. He
entered a plea of no contest on July 6 and
was immediately sentenced to 90 days in
jail, three years probation and 24 hours
of community service.

Some people will do whatever it takes
to get good health. Unknown thieves entered Sprouts on June 26, stole a large
amount of probiotics that were located on

and fled the location undetected. Various

covered missing during an inventory

check and reported to police. The total
value of the loss has not been determined.

One gal took a page out of Pete
Townsends playbook while returning
items to her former lover following a
breakup. Officers were called to Clark Avenue and Oak Park Drive around 5:38
a.m. after an 18-year-old Claremont resident grabbed the neck of an acoustic guitar and struck her 33-year-old exboyfriend with the six-string before fleeing
the scene. The victim sustained a lacera-
tion to his right elbow but refused treatment. The young lady was located by police nearby and arrested for assault on a
spouse or cohabitant. She was booked at
CPD jail and released on a $50,000 bond.
The couple had been dating for just over
one year.

The driver of a Toyota Corolla failed to
heed the warning sirens of a passing ambulance and collided with another vehicle,
causing injury to the driver. According to
Lt. Ciszek, the 37-year-old Montclair resident was traveling east on Arrow Highway at 3:22 p.m. when the emergency
vehicle approached the area traveling
south from Indian Hill. A Ford Escape,
also on Arrow, had stopped in the lane to
allow the ambulance to pass when the
Corolla struck it from behind. The injured
driver, a 56-year-old Claremont resident,
was transported to Pomona Valley Medical Center with complaints of pain to her
neck, jaw, right shoulder and lower back.
Police found the Corollas driver to be at
fault for traveling at an unsafe speed.
12:16 a.m. Police conducted a traffic stop

and found the driver, Ismael Cejalua, exhibiting signs of alcohol intoxication.
During their investigation, police determined the 36-year-old driver was under
the influence of alcohol and located some
cocaine next to the drivers seat. The
Pomona resident was arrested for DUI
and possession of a controlled substance.

Police arrested a La Caada criminal
after she booked a room at a local hotel
under false pretenses. Jennifer Dennis
and her 36-year-old Claremont boyfriend
had checked into a room at the DoubleTree using a debit card with insufficient
funds. Police were summoned to the hotel to evict the couple and discovered the
pair were in possession of methamphetamine for sale, meth pipes, syringes,
heroin and numerous items belonging to
victims of crimes, including stolen credit
cards and IDs. The 38-year-old woman
and her man were placed under arrest
and held at CPD jail for bail and court.

America has a lot of freedoms, but being drunk in public isnt one of them.
Officers responded to Oak Park Drive
and Indian Hill Boulevard at 11:38 p.m.
after receiving a call of a man running
barefoot in the road. Officers found Harry
Cain standing in the roadway, exhibiting
signs of intoxication. The 45-year-old
Claremont resident went to the curb with
his hands in the air as their vehicle approached. When officers asked if hed
been drinking, he told police that hed
had four vodkas and was coming from
his house up the street where his shoes
were. Unable to attend to his safety, Mr.
Cain was arrested for public intoxication
and transported to CPD jail for detoxification.
Monday, July 6
A man with a trifecta of troubles sped
through Claremont and went straight to
jail. At 2:36 a.m., officers spotted Yousef
Almutairi driving his vehicle 90 miles
per hour in a 40-mile-per-hour zone near
Claremont and Foothill Boulevards. Police conducted a traffic stop and the driver
identified himself with a passport, telling
police his license was suspended. Officers smelled alcohol coming from the
21-year-old and put him through a series
of field sobriety tests. It was determined
he was near twice the legal limit. Further
investigation revealed Mr. Almutairi also
had an outstanding warrant. When asked
by police if he knew how fast he was going, the Montclair man replied, 100?
He was arrested for driving under the influence, driving on a suspended license
and for the outstanding warrant.

No peas, please
by Debbie Carini
n July 1, the New York Times ran

a short piece about President
Obama and Jeb Bush sharing a
dislike of peas in their guacamole.
I am also not an advocate of peas in food where

they shouldnt be. This includes Chinese fried rice,
Spanish rice, pasta salad and now, evidently, guacamole. For that matter, I believe little carrot squares,
chopped-up lima beans and random corn kernels
should stay in their respective cans or frozen boxes as
well.
Perhaps it all stems from my early childhood education at the hands of the Dominican Sisters, not an allgirl group specializing in merengue music, but
fully-habited, ruler-wielding nuns.
In those days (the mid-1960s), before the enlightenment of the Vatican II Council changes, a little-understood (by me) rule of my childhood was no meat on
Fridays. In the unfortunate event that my mother did
not make me lunch, which was usually a cream cheese
and jelly sandwich, I had to eat in the Sacred Heart
School cafeteria.
As we lined up to partake of the mid-day meal, the
smell of briny water from tin cans permeated the hallway. Once inside the dining establishment, as billows

There were no choices. No one asked what I preferred or if I was allergic to anything. The unsmiling

craft beer to bars, restaurants and retailers in a 20-mile

radius of the brewery, as well as through its popular tap
room just south of Cable Airport in Upland.
Our goal is not just to produce great beer, but to be
a thoughtful and caring member of our community,
and a great place to work, said co-owner Andy Dale.
Dale Bros founded the annual Brews and Bros Craft
Beer Festival, which takes place at Cable Airport each
January to benefit the local nonprofit, Claremont Educational Foundation.
Small Business Advisory Committee Member Randy
Prout was equally impressed with the nomination.
From day-one, the Dale brothers have made it their
business to give back to the communities they serve,
Mr. Prout said.
For the Dale Bros, giving back comes naturally.
Its always been an important part of our DNA as a
company, and is generally part of the ethic of the craft
beer industry as a whole, Andy said. If you can grow

your business while bringing people together to have a
good time and support worthy causes, why not? Were
humbled to be recognized for this part of what we do.
Dale Bros, along with other small businesses from
each California Assembly District, was honored at an
event at the Sacramento Convention Center on California Small Business Day in June.
They said it was

a light beer.
Pomona College on plans for

the new museum
Dear Editor:
Pomona College aspires to create a
new, exceptional Museum of Art that engages both the Pomona College student
population as well as the greater community in creativity and scholarship.
Throughout the planning process, we
have been meeting with groups of Claremont residents as well as with community organizations and leaders in order to
listen to concerns and answer questions
about the proposed museum. We will
continue these conversations throughout
the summer and fall as we present updated plans to the city council and planning commission.
Unfortunately, several pieces of incorrect information have been circulated
about the proposal. We are writing to
help clear up some of the misunderstandings caused by these errors.
For example, the analysis of Pomona
Colleges plans for a new Museum of
Art provided by David Shearer and John
Neiuber on behalf of Claremont Heritage
(Claremont COURIER, Friday, June 26)
contains a number of misstatements
about the colleges previous master plans.
The column refers to a 2008 Pomona
College Master Plan and alleges that it
shows institutional buildings where the
Victorians are currently located on Harvard Avenue between Bonita and Fourth
Streets. No such plan exists. In 2008, the
city did approve several amendments to
the colleges 2003 Master Plan, but those
amendments do not mention or depict
the houses on Harvard Avenue.
There is a map in the Introduction to
the colleges 2003 Master Plan summarizing a study conducted by Moule &
Polyzoides Architects and Urbanists.
That study was commissioned to analyze the theoretical capacity of the
campus for future development and was
the internal starting point for the colleges master plan process.
Moule & Polyzoides suggested that
the college could expand its facilities in
the future by building between and
around existing buildings (in-fill), including the Harvard Avenue houses. The
college rejected most of the sites in that
concept map (including the Harvard
READERS COMMENTS
Avenue houses), and the concept of infill itself, and proceeded to develop a
master plan that focused the center of
gravity of the campus to the east (Lincoln, Edmunds, Sontag and Pomona
Halls, Studio Art and the parking structure on First Street).
The column also quotes liberally from
Chapter 2 of the Citys General Plan, but
it neglects to note that in the Land Use
Plan map in that chapter (Figure 2-3),
the proposed museum site is designated
for Institutional Use. A museum would
be consistent with that designation.
Other misconceptions relate to the design of the facility, which has not even
been determined at this early stage of
planning. Pomona College has retained
nationally-recognized architects Machado
and Silvetti Associates to design the new
museum, but the architects are only now
beginning to develop proposed schematics. This firm was chosen for their impressive record of building museums that
are sensitive to the particular architectural
and community contexts in which they
appear.
The college has charged the architects
to design a facility that does not exceed
a maximum height of 30 feet, matches
the mass and spacing of the surrounding
structures, is consistent with the architectural feel of Pomona Colleges southwest campus, has ample outdoor and
open space, is approachable from all four
sides and includes facilities for community use.
Claremont residents who are interested
in reading the most up-to-date, accurate
information about the colleges master
plan and proposed Museum of Art are encouraged to visit our website
(www.pomona.edu/new-PCMA).
The proposed Pomona College Museum of Art will be a unique facility that
anchors an academic program in a location that also welcomes and interacts with
the surrounding community in ways that
are very exciting.
An alternate location in the interior of
the campus has been considered, but it
was rejected early in the planning process
in favor of a location that can serve as

both a gateway to the campus and a
bridge to the community.
We believe strongly that the proposed
site is the only one that can achieve both
of these goals while accommodating all
of the programs requirements.

Unfair water restrictions

Dear Editor:
I received a letter from Golden State
about Tier 1 water reduction requirements, requesting a 32 percent reduction
from 2013, but they didnt mention that

drip systems are exempt from the watering schedules. Thats probably why I cant
reach GSWC on the phone right now.
The Claremont city letter arrived and
explained the issue much more clearly.
But people who have been conserving
for years need clarification and some adjustments on the Tier 2 and 3 costs. Punishing us at 32 percent of 2013 is unacceptable! So off goes my letter to the
governor, a letter to Golden State and a
letter to editor.
The problem is we put in a drip system
and covered our pool many years ago. We
fixed leaks. We put in low-flow toilets and
enriched our plumber thereafter.
When 2013 was already a reduced water usage year, 32 percent of the 2013
year is probably impossible. We have
now turned off the fountains and have
only one we fill with a hose for the many
birds and bees in our yards.
We plan to capture washing machine
water for some of our treeswe have
39and we decided to bathe in the pool
at night and call it good. We are going to
remove some of the drip underground
system and let some of our expensive
landscape-designed (sorry, Land Design!)
plants go. So, any more ideas?
We are presently into Tier 2 a bit but,
now that summer is here, the trees must
be watered to prevent a city of fire.
I refuse to tear out my gardens and put
in a Palm Springs desert and destroy my
property value. This is not desert, it is a
semi-arid climate and it will probably rain
again. You will hate that DG when it gets
wet!
If it doesnt rain in the next few years,
we are all moving anyway, but let us not
panic yet.

Eleonore Russak Powell
OBITUARIES
Pioneer of LGBT inclusion

Eleonore Regina Russak Powell died
June 29, 2015 at Pilgrim Place in Claremont. She was 98 years old.
She was born on June 12, 1917 in
New York City, New York where she
attended Hunter College. She was active in the First Presbyterian Church of
Jamaica, New York where she met her
future husband, Oliver Powell. They
were married in 1937 and lived at
Union Theological Seminary where Mr.
Powell earned his Master of Divinity
degree.
Mrs. Powell returned to college to
earn her bachelors degree at Rosary
College (now Dominican University) in
Illinois in 1964 and became a certified
dietician. She worked professionally in
this field in many capacities, primarily
as head dietician in several hospitals.
Words cannot adequately describe
this vivacious, smart, compassionate
and committed woman. Eleonore was
known for her humor, wisdom, love of
conversation and dedication to the
rights of women, civil rights and LGBT
rights long before these issues of social
justice and human rights were part of
the countrys social, religious and political landscape.
Much of her activism on justice issues happened in the context of the
United Church of Christ. Oliver served
as a minister of UCC churches in Illinois and Massachusetts and retired
from the Massachusetts Conference,
UCC, after which the couple moved to
Cape Cod. Mrs. Powell was active in
those churches and in the denomina-
tion, advocating for those who suffered

discrimination and injustice and, in her
own way, moving the church beyond its
own stuffiness and inaction. She was
anything but a typical ministers wife,
and brought a breath of fresh air to all
of her endeavors.
Mrs. Powell will be remembered for
her laughter, for her ability to listen to
others and offer words of comfort or
wisdom and for being a mentor to so
many over the years. She was known
for her quiet way of leading talk into
action and her feistiness and tenacity
when she determined to make some-
thing betterbe it the food service she

was supervising or receiving or old
mindsets that excluded Gods children
from the fullness of life.
She was a realist, never hesitated to
speak her truth and moved herself and
others into arenas of thought and action
previously not imagined possible. She
was an avid jigsaw puzzler and bridge
player, and introduced anyone who
could toss a set of dice to the game of
Zonk. In her more than 30 years as a
resident, Mrs. Powell left an indelible
mark on the lives of many at Pilgrim
Place. Friends say she epitomized the
spirit of retirement. It is what it is,
she would often say, not with resignation but with grace, acceptance and the
will to make things better.
As a couple, Eleonore and Oliver
Powell had a profound influence on the
UCC both as individuals and together,
especially in the last four decades of
their support of the full inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender
people in the life, leadership and ministry of the church. They founded the
UCCs Parents of Lesbians and Gays
and counseled many parents struggling
with the sexual orientation of their children, and were very active in PFLAG
and the UCCs Open and Affirming
Coalition.
For many within and beyond the
LGBT community, Eleonore was the
mother who offered, as novelist Dinah
Muloch Craik put it, the inexpressible
comfort of being safe with a person,
who kept what is worth the keeping
Every Friday in print. Every day online.

and with a breath of kindness [blew]

the rest away.
She co-founded Another Voice at the
Claremont United Church of Christ, a
support and educational group to encourage LGBT and straight allies, and
was an active participant over the years.
Her life was remembered in prayer by
the General Synod of the UCC, which
was meeting on the day she died.
Mrs. Powell was preceded in death
by her husband Oliver Powell, who
died in 2003. She is survived by her son
and his spouse, David and Beverly
Powell of Crystal Lake, Illinois, and her
daughter and her spouse, Lois Loey
Powell and Brenda Joyner of Cleveland
Heights, Ohio. Another child, Jonathan,
died in 1963.
She also leaves her grandchildren,
Kathryn Powell Coffey and Jonathan
Powell; four great-grandchildren, Colin
and Liam Coffey and Kyra and Taylor
Powell; Susan Griffith, beloved mother
of her grandchildren, and two nephews,
Paul and George Russak.
A memorial service of celebration
will be held at Claremont UCC where
she was a member, with the date still
pending. Memorial donations in honor
of Eleonore R. Powell can be made to
Pilgrim Place (625 Mayflower Rd.,
Claremont, CA 91711), the Open and

Mary Ann Mertens

Loving wife and mother, dental health advocate
Mary Ann Mertens, a longtime Claremont resident, died peacefully in her
home on Sunday, June 28, surrounded by
family, after a battle with cancer. She
was 69.
She was born in Pomona on February
20, 1946, the youngest of four children, to
Earl and Lucille Hutchison of Montclair.
She spent her childhood playing in the
neighborhood orange groves tended by
her father and riding her bike on Interstate
10 as it was being constructed.
After meeting John Mertens for the
first time in the living room of her house,
Mary Ann turned to her sister and said,
John is the man Im going to marry. She
was 17 years old at the time and their engagement was brief. The couple moved to
Detroit, Michigan after their wedding in
July 1963 while John completed dental
school. On July 6, Dr. and Mrs. Mertens
would have celebrated their 52nd anniversary.
The couple settled in Claremont in
1969, where Dr. Mertens set up a dental

practice. Mrs. Mertens worked as a volunteer for the Alliance to the American
Dental Association (AADA) for more
than 25 years, serving as president on the
local and state levels before becoming
the national president in 1992.
Through her volunteer work, Mrs.
Mertens educated Claremont schoolchildren about the importance of proper
dental hygiene and helped form political
action committees that worked to eventually urge legislators to pass laws securing dental benefits for military personnel.
Mary lived her life devoted to God.
Always positive, her unending faith
made her the wonderful, beautiful person
that she was, family shared, adding that
she was deeply loved by friends and relatives alike.
Laura Mandzok said, Her faith and
devotion brought many closer to God,
changing their lives for good, and that
fact gave her great joy.

Melissa Bird noted that Mrs. Mertens

favorite activity was spending time with
her family, especially her grandchildren.
She loved just watching them play,
Mrs. Bird said. I always admired how
she always put others before herself.
Mrs. Mertens enjoyed traveling with
family or close friends. She and Dr.
Mertens often enjoyed weekend golf trips
together. She didnt let her illness stop
her from living her life to the fullest, even
taking multiple trips to Europe.
After her cancer diagnosis, Mrs.
Mertens maintained her jubilant outlook.
Mary was always smiling. Her attitude was always positive, her husband
John said. She always inspired people,
even after just meeting them or having a
brief conversation. She will always be
remembered by her never-ending smile.

New restaurant makes ordering a meal easy as pie
arlier this month, viewers across the

country braced for Discovery Channels annual TV fish fest Shark
Week. For many people locally, anticipation has been building for another predatory
event: Claremont Restaurant Week.
Its the third year for the culinary extravaganza, which
starts today, Friday, July 10. From now through July 19,
a slew of local eateries will be offering prix fixe specials
that are easy on the wallet and showcase their food.
There are lots of returning participants and a few new
names, including Pie Street Pizza.
Claremont has many great pizza places, but none quite
like Pie Street. With its quick, affordable and customized
fare, it should be a welcome addition in town.
Heres how it works. Take pizza dough and top it with
the sauce and cheeses of your choice. Then pick from
some 22 toppings, from pepperoni to fresh basil and from
artichoke hearts to chicken breast. Cook for three and a
half minutes and slice. Enjoy.
The 11-inch Unlimited Toppings Pizza is $7.99. And
yes, Pie Street owners Syed Rizvi and Ray Malik note, a
few people have asked for every single topping. Other
pizzas, from Hawaiian to veggie lovers to Pizza de
Bianco, cost $6. 99.
Its been a little tough for the pizzeria, which opened
at the end of March, to attract street traffic. Its located in

the Village West on Indian Hill, just a hop, skip and a

jump from the train tracks. And per city restrictions, the
restaurateurs can only allocate 25 percent of their streetfacing windows to signage. Still, the pizza shops clientele is growing steadily, thanks to word-of-mouth and
positive social media reviews.
Pie Street Pizza, along with the recently-opened neighboring restaurant Tikka Wraps & Curry Bowls, represents the first collaboration by Mr. Rizvi and Mr. Malik,
and its a good match.
Mr. Malik earned his degree in biochemistry, but has
dedicated his entire career to the food industry, more
specifically the corporate franchise industry. Most recently, he owned Fatburger restaurants in Temecula and
Riverside. Mr. Rizvi, an electrical engineer who spent
years in the auto industry, was looking for a chance to
invest in the restaurant business. The rest is history.
Choosing Claremont for a location was a no-brainer
for the entrepreneurs.
Claremont is a hub for food, like Pasadena, Mr.
Malik said. Its also a college town. We knew something quick and affordable would appeal to the younger
crowd.
High-quality ingredients add to the pizza joints appeal. Mr. Malik worked hard to ensure that Pie Streets
pies have an authentic New York taste.
He got a recipe for a thin, crisp crust from his wifes
uncle, who owns a pizza place in the Empire State. After
unsuccessful attempts to get it to taste like the original,
Mr. Malik headed to the East Coast. When he made the
dough in his relatives kitchen, it came out perfectly.
Mr. Malik realized that the taste disparity resulted from
the difference in the two regions water supply. His solution? Import the dough straight from New York.
The meat at Pie Street is also carefully selected. Mr.
Rizvi and Mr. Malik are Muslim, both having immigrated
to the United States from Pakistan years ago. As a result,
its important to the partners that they serve Halal.
Halal meat is raised and butchered according to Islamic law. Any animal eaten must have been fed an allnatural diet free of animal products. It must be
slaughtered quickly and humanely. Pork is forbidden, so
the restaurant serves all-beef pepperoni and sausage.
Halal meat is high-price, premium quality, healthy
meat, Mr. Malik said. Its a big thing right now.
Variety as well as quality is the spice of life at Pie
Street. If there arent already enough incentives to visit

Claremonts newest dough-slingers, adventurous eaters
can opt to top their pizza with a splash of tikka masala
sauce, as well as with selections like pesto basil, tomato
blend, buffalo sauce, barbecue sauce and extra virgin
olive oil with fresh garlic.
Mr. Malik, who has two elementary school-aged children, lives in Laguna. Mr. Rizvi, who has three kids ranging from 14 to 18, lives in Upland. They come together
in Claremont, and are enthusiastic to be part of the business community in a place becoming known as a foodies
paradise.
Claremont has always been a close-knit town, Mr.
Malik said. We want to be a place where, when a customer named Joe comes in, we say, Hello, Joe.
During Restaurant Week, guests can get a pizza and a
side salad for $10. A pizza, large antipasto salad, two
drinks and choice of dessert cost $20.

as well as dine-in and pickup service, call (909) 624-4040

pair of socks, you get an extra pour. There will be 36
beers on tap, and the Grilled Cheese Truck, Pappas Artisanal, Rolling Sushi and I Like Pie will be onsite.
There will be kids carnival games and children get

roasted jalapeo salsa, their famous

homemade chips and a slew of
mouth-watering desserts. Head chef
Milo Dorman said he got his inspiration for the tacos while planning what
to serve at last weeks Claremont
Craft Beer Walk. The tacos were such
a hit that he knew he had to include
them on Pine Havens prix fixe menu.
If you are looking for something
extra special and one-of-a-kind, then
you wont want to miss Packing House
Wines, which will be serving up a
beach-themed appetizer. A sous-vide
shrimp on a bed of edible sand, topped
with seaweed and an edible flower, intrigued the palate and gave visitors a
sneak peak of chef Noah Lutzs creative genius.
Many other Claremont favorites presented tasty bites. The Orchard Restau-
rant at the DoubleTree served scallops

with spinach and a decadent barnaise
sauce, Nunos Bistro offered crostino
with pestoroso and steak, Tuitti Mangia
provided the crowd favorite, an agedbalsamic braised short rib on top of
corn and gorgonzola polenta.
With such a delicious assortment of
food its no surprise that Claremont
Restaurant Week has been gaining in
popularity since its inception three
years ago. This gastronomic event
gives visitors an opportunity to experience the vast array of Claremont eateries while allowing the restaurants to
stretch their culinary muscles and win
over potential return customers.
This weeks prix fixe menus range in
price from $10 to $20 for lunch specials and $20 to $40 for dinner. Some
local hotels will also be offering dine
and stay getaway packages for out-oftown visitors.
We are hoping to expand on last
years success. Restaurants that participated saw a real difference, said the
DoubleTrees General Manager and
former Claremont Chamber of Commerce President Andrew Behnke.
Mr. Behnke isnt the only supporter
of Restaurant Week. Mayor Corey
Calaycay and other city officials are
showing their support.
Our restaurants are an economic
engine of our community, Mr. Calaycay said. We want to do anything we
can to promote them.

More fully described in said Deed of Trust.
StreetAddress or other common designation of real property:
489 Notre Dame Road, Claremont, CA 91711
A.P.N.: 8316-004-024
The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for

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 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 this property.
Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to
bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that
at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less
than the total debt
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 (866)-960-8299
or visit this Internet Web site http://www.altisource.com/MortgageServices/DefaultManagement/TrusteeServices.aspx using the file number
assigned to this case 2015-00871-CA. 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

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the CLAREMONT CITY COUNCIL will hold a PUBLIC
HEARING to review the Citys actions during the
past year to remain in conformance with the applicable requirements of the Los Angeles County Congestion Management Program (CMP). The public
hearing will be held on Tuesday, July 28, 2015, at
7:00 p.m., in the City Council Chamber, located at
225 W. Second Street, Claremont. At this time, all
interested persons are invited to appear and be
heard. For further information regarding this matter,
please contact Management Analyst Jamie Harvey
at (909) 399 5473.
NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that the Director
of Community Development has determined that
this matter is covered by the general rule that the
California Environmental Quality Act only applies
to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment in accordance
with Section 15061 (b) (3) of the Guidelines. Selfcertification of the CMP compliance will not have
a significant effect on the environment because the
action will not result in or lead to a physical change
in Claremont. Therefore, no additional environmental review is needed at this time.

Act of 1990, any person with a disability who requires a modification or accommodation in order to
