Dear Editor:
Telephone marketers constantly abuse
with robo-calls, but Claremont helps with
its no-knock provisions. One does not
have marketers on the doorstep. This is a
request that local businesses accept the
provision.
Last evening, Tarbell Realty had a person ringing our door bell at dinnertime.
This is a plea that it not happen again.

Comma clash
Dear Editor:
To Don Fisher, I issue a challenge.
Several years ago, my wife and I left
Claremont where wed lived for nearly
50 years to be near one of our sons and
our grandsons (Aaron now has three
boys!) in Ozark, Missouri.
To better acquaint ourselves with the
community, I subscribed to the local
weekly newspaper. After reading several
error-filled editions, I phoned the assistant editor and complained about grammar, spelling and apostrophe misuse.
At a Rotary Club meeting, the editor
of the paper overheard me talking about
my conversation with her personnel and
said, Oh, youre the person who
called. She issued me a challenge to
come to the paper offices on Tuesday
mornings at 7 a.m. and help edit the
Wednesday paper. Ive been a faithful
copy editor ever since, often catching errors in grammer [sic], spelling and apostrophes [sic] that staff have missed.
So Don, I challenge you to contact
Peter Weinberger and offer your editing
services to the COURIER.

We need an explanation
Dear Editor:
Im aware that were in one of the
worst droughts in history. Ive been conserving water long before I was ever
mandated to do so in the 30 years that
Ive lived here. The city reminds us, at
every turn, how we need to conserve.
With that being said, how is it that in
this critical time, the city made the decision to allow not one, not three, but several new high-density housing projects to
be built? How do we not have enough
water to keep our parks green and our
beautiful trees alive, but we have enough
water for this incredible increase in population?
I was sent a letter and given the opportunity to protest the trash hike. How
was I not sent a similar letter to protest
the decision for these housing projects?
How were there not town hall meetings
to get opinions and input from the Claremont residents?
Someone from the city needs to explain the logic and process, (in a written submission to the COURIER), that
went into this illogical decision that was
made FOR us.

Thank you from CHAP
Dear Editor:
Thank you, thank you, thank you all!
The attendance for the John York concert
on July 19 to benefit homelessness in
Claremont was truly amazing; as the
program started it was standing room
only. With the surprise deluge of rain
Sunday evening, we wondered how
many would brave the storm. No
worry, you all arrived in a happy mood,
chatted with neighbors and friends and
your generous donations were extraordinary. We are thankful that so many in
Claremont are concerned about the
homelessness problem.
A very special thank-you to Claremont
resident John York, our own remarkable
musician and performer. He generously
suggested giving a concert with all proceeds donated to the Claremont Homeless Advocacy Program (CHAP). He is a
thoughtful neighbor and friend, who provided an artistic, warm-hearted performance. Thank you, John.
Our sincere appreciation to:
All the churches and religious affiliates in Claremont that, for weeks prior to
the concert, publicized the John York
concert at each and every service. They
sold and bought tickets and made substantial donations. We thank you!

Council makes tax deal with potential new auto dealership
ts not often you hear the

words blight and
Claremont spoken in
the same sentence, but they
were heard time and time
again by city council members on Tuesday night as they
discussed the possibility of a
new auto dealership coming
to Auto Center Drive.
Council unanimously adopted a resolution approving an Owner Participation Agreement between the city and
Premier Automotive Group, thereby
removing a speed bump in its effort to
restore Auto Center Drive to its intended glory as an automobile sales
Mecca in Claremont.
Without the Redevelopment
Agency and other factors that we used
to have, this is the way we have to go
in revenue-sharing, Councilman
Larry Schroeder asserted. Without
this agreement, we would have nothing. We appreciate the new revenue to
the citywe appreciate the new jobs
in the city and the shopping opportunities. So thank you very much.
Premier Automotive Group entered
into a purchase and sale agreement
with Brandywine Homes earlier this
year for seven acres of property on the
western terminus of Auto Center
Drive. Brandywine had purchased the
property in May 2013 with the goal to
build a residential housing development. Premier intends to operate an
auto dealership for the sale of new
Dodge, Jeep, Chrysler and Ram vehicles and says it will invest more than
$14 million into real estate and improvements to the property.
To support the feasibility of the dealership operation, the city agreed to reimburse Premier Automotive Group
for 50 percent of its sales and use tax
generated by the dealership for a period of 10 years to a cumulative maximum amount of $4,375,000. Payments
will be made on a quarterly basis for a
term of 10 years commencing on or
before March 31, 2016, when the dealership anticipates opening for business.
The city was quick to point out that
any sales tax Premier Automotive
Group of Claremont would be eligible
to receive is based solely on the success of the dealership. The city would
be eligible to receive 100 percent of
the sales tax after 10 years.
Claremonts attorney Vanessa Locklin, a shareholder with the firm Straddling Yocca Carlson & Rauth, prepared
the agreement and was available in
chambers Tuesday night to answer any
questions. There was really only one.
So, the 20th times a charm on this
one? asked Mayor Pro Tem Sam Pedroza, half-joking. This is one of
those projects where I follow the concept, A bird in the hand is worth two
in the bush. However, there was never
anything in the bush. This is what we

The Claremont City Council has agreed to share 50 percent of tax receipts for 10 years with a new automobile dealership
that plans to occupy the currently derelict buildings on the west side of Auto Center Drive.
got and we really appreciate the diligence of our city manager, city staff
and the developer. I think this is one of
those deals where, ultimately, all of
Claremont benefits. When you look at
the cost of blight, that area was getting
pretty dumpy. So the fact that were
going to have it useful and provide
some revenues to the city is a good
thing.
Over the past decade, multiple proposals have been discussed as to what
to do with the shuttered dealership located just west of Toyota of Claremont.
A Home Depot and housing and retail
developments were both considered
for the 11.4-acre property once owned
by Penske Motors; however, those proposals were abandoned due to lack of
support.
Brandywine Homes purchased the
property in May 2013 with the intention of creating residential housing, but
that proposal never really got off the
ground. The developer soon began
looking for a buyer and found one in
Premier when they expressed interest
in establishing a dealership in Claremont.
Jodi Meade, principal and national
director of the automotive properties
group for Avison Young, is brokering
the deal between Brandywine and Premier, who began discussing the possibilities earlier this year.
Premier is very excited about being
a new addition to the Claremont community, said Ms. Meade. Not only
will the community benefit from their
presence with revenue but they are in
tune with the communitys needs. Its a
great marriage of community and business.

Premier Automotive Group intends
to purchase seven of the 11.4 acres
available.
The seven-acre parcel currently
houses two buildings that were constructed in 1985 for use as an auto
dealership, which operated on the site
until December 2004. The building has
remained vacant and unused ever
since. With escrow set to close the first
week of September 2015 pending any
additional obstacles, the new owner is
already looking to the future.
The northerly-most building will be
completely demolished and will become the sales lot for inventory, Larry
West, general manager of Premier Automotive Group, Southern California
told the COURIER after the council
meeting. The rear service and body
shop building, which is about 67,000
square feet, will be gutted. The bones
will remain and that will become the
new flagship store for the west coast.
Projection of sales tax revenues and
covenant payments prepared by
Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. for
the automotive group indicate the city
will retain $297,930 in sales tax revenue for 2016, with a steady increase
throughout the term of the 10-year
agreement. By 2027, the city would be
receiving 100 percent of the dealerships sales tax revenue, which is projected to be $1,517,220 annually.
Premier Auto Group noted several
salient points in its operational forecast
that were to be considered, including
the substantial ramp-up time needed
three or more years is not uncommonto get the business to approach

a profitable level, particularly in a location that has been inactive for many
years, as evidenced by their current
dealership in West Covina.
Premier Automotive of West Covina
opened its doors in March 2014 and
has experienced losses in excess of
over $1 million in the last 16 months.
The previous dealership had been
closed for five years before Premier
Automotive Group took on the challenge; its a situation they say mirrors
Claremonts on many levels, with
identical brands and real estate challenges.
Premier Automotive Group believes
in their model and says they are willing to take the financial risk associated
with establishing a dealership on Auto
Center Drive.
We are a profit-with-a-purpose
company and our driving force, our
message, is HOPEHelping People
Every Day, Mr. West said. Were
looking forward to doing that here in
Claremont and were thankful for the
opportunity.
Now that Premier is one step closer
to closing its deal with the Auto Center
Drive property, theres talk that
Hyundai is interested in setting up
shop on the remaining 4.4 acreage at
the end of the cul-de-sac.
Ms. Meade maintains that Avison
Young will not identify a buyer for the
remaining acreage until close of escrow with Premier.

Four-city cooperative agreement for storm

water monitoring approved by city council
n Tuesday night, Claremont City

Council unanimously approved a cooperative agreement between the
cities of Claremont, La Verne, Pomona and
San Dimas that outlines administrative and
cost-sharing for the stormwater Coordinated
Integrated Monitoring Program (CIMP) recently approved by the Los Angeles Regional
Water Quality Control Board.
The goal of the agreement between the four citiescollectively referred to as the East San Gabriel Valley Watershed Management Group (ESGVWMG)is to provide a
framework for completing tasks necessary to successfully
implement the water monitoring.
Tasks include the design, acquisition and installation of
the monitoring equipment, the collection of data at three
water receiving sites and three stormwater outfall sites and
analysis of data with the required water quality objectives
and adaptive management process. The watershed management group will also be tasked with preparing and submitting annual reports to the Los Angeles Regional Water
Quality Control Board.
Based on their familiarity with the San Gabriel River watershed area and the monitoring requirements of the East
San Gabriel Valley watershed, MWH Americas Inc. has
been selected to implement the CIMP monitoring services
at a cost of $927,622. Based on a cost-sharing formula between the four cities, Claremonts share of the contract will
be approximately $200,000 with funding available in the
Community Development Departments 2015-16 operating budget for compliance activities.
MWH Americas, Inc. prepared both the Watershed Management Program (WMP) and the CIMP documents for the
ESGVWMG, with the CIMP document receiving final approval on June 25, 2015. The WMP document received
conditional approval in April 2015 and the four cities are
awaiting final approval from the regional board on their requested revision.
In order for the city of Claremont to move forward with
the MWH contract, all four cities must approve the cooperative agreement prior to the execution of the contract.
Each of the four cities is in the process of seeking approval
of the agreement from their respective city councils. The La
Verne City Council approved the agreement on July 20,
and the cities of Pomona and San Dimas anticipate approval of the agreement at their upcoming council meetings on August 3 and August 11, respectively.

Some grandkids will do just about
anything for their grandparents, but getting arrested shouldnt be one of them. A
17-year-old boy was taken into custody
after officers spotted him driving and
speeding, traveling 56 miles per hour in
a 40-mile-per-hour zone on Monte Vista
Avenue. Police pulled over the red Nissan Frontier and the teen driver told the
officers hed never been issued a
drivers license. A records check by police confirmed he didnt have a license.
The passenger, the teens grandpa, had a
suspended drivers license. Grandpa, 72,
told police that he knew his grandson
wasnt street legal, and the Chino teen
was arrested and booked at CPD jail for
driving without a license. He was later
released with a citation and a promise to
appear in court.

It was Christmas in July for burglars
who struck a north Claremont home
and made off with quite a bounty. Unknown thieves entered the home on the
900 block of Deep Springs Drive between 7 and 10 p.m. by smashing a
sliding glass door to the master bedroom. Once inside, the housebreakers
ransacked the residence and left
through a sliding glass door, taking
with them $76,000 in jewelry, $21,000
in cash and $3,000 in euros. The investigation remains ongoing.

A watchful Claremont neighbor
pulled a fast one on a thief during a
home invasion, leaving him no place to
go but straight to jail. According to
Claremont Lieutenant Mike Ciszek, a
28-year-old man saw a 1997 Honda
Accord drive up to a home located on

the 700 block of Via Los Andes Street
at approximately 6:36 p.m. He believed
the car was stolen because it was running with no key in the ignition. With
the suspected burglar out of sight, the
witness entered the vehicle and drove it
around the corner before calling police.
Upon their arrival, officers located the
suspect, Kenneth Thomas, walking
south along Mountain Avenue and detained him at gunpoint. The Pomona
resident was found to be in possession
of methamphetamine as well as property stolen from the home on Via Los
Andes and was positively identified by
the witness as the thief. A collapsible
sword, a couple of ties and a can of
Sapporo beer were also found in the
possession of the 47-year-old suspect,
who admitted to police he was driving
the stolen vehicle. Mr. Thomas was arrested for burglary, possession of stolen
property, vehicle theft and possession
of methamphetamine. He remains in
custody at Mens Central Jail awaiting
court. His bail has been set at $85,000.

A bike thief must have mistaken a
Village shop for a trading post when he
swapped out one stolen bicycle for another. At approximately 6:40 p.m., officers responded to the Village Market
after a 35-year-old Claremont resident
left his Giant Escape mens bicycle unlocked at a nearby bike rack and returned to find it missing. In its place,
the thief left behind a Raleigh bicycle
and fled the location undetected.
The victim brought the replacement
bike to the Claremont Police Department, where it was booked as found
property. The victims missing bike, val-
ued at $989, has not yet been located.

A reminder to parents everywhere:
Dont leave your children unattended in
your car. Claremont police responded
to the 200 block of West First Street
around 6:25 p.m. after being notified
by a passerby that a child was locked
inside a vehicle in the Village. Upon
the officers arrival, a 5-year-old girl
was found sitting alone in the backseat
of a Dodge Charger with the windows
cracked about three inches and the engine not running in 90-degree heat. The
young victim had sweat on her face and
was crying when the officer located
her. Police contacted the childs mother,
Maria Saez, in the parking lot shortly
after. She admitted leaving her daughter alone in the car so she could go inside the building to her job. She knew it
was unacceptable, but it was a risk she
took to go inside the building quickly.
The Covina resident told police her employer wont let her take her child inside, but said she didnt want to leave
her outside the building as there is a
homeless man that hangs out nearby.
The 28-year-old mother was arrested
for child neglect and booked at Claremont jail. The child was transported to
CPD, where she was provided water
and snacks and was checked out by
paramedics before being released to
Children and Family Services. Ms.
Saez was held for court and later released on $100,000 bond.

A Claremont woman was sexually
assaulted in Blaisdell Park, and her attacker is behind bars thanks to some
great detective work by local law enforcement. At approximately 7 a.m., the
42-year-old woman was jogging
through the park at 440 S. College Ave.
when a man approached her from behind, pushed her to the ground and
groped her. As the victim began to
scream help and no, the suspect put
his hand over her mouth. She bit him
and was eventually able to get away
and call 911. Officers responded to the
scene and the victim provided a description of the suspect, but he was not
located. Claremont police were later
notified of a similar attack on a 63year-old woman at Lions Park in Rancho Cucamonga that had occurred an
hour prior to the Claremont attack. In
that incident, the victim was sitting at a
bus stop when the suspect came up
from behind, put a knife to her throat
and began to drag her into the nearby
bushes saying he was going to rape her.
The victim was able to break free and
attract the attention of a nearby motorist, who came to her aid and called
police. During their investigation, San
Bernardino County Sheriff deputies
found a box-cutter at the scene and located surveillance footage that later
lead them to the attacker. Jacob Latham
of Rancho Cucamonga was arrested at
5 p.m. and booked at West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga.
Mr. Latham admitted to the attack,
telling police he was intoxicated and
decided to assault the victim because
he thought he would not be caught by
law enforcement.
The 24-year-old male has been
charged in San Bernardino County with
attempted kidnap to commit rape, intent
to commit rape, assault with a deadly
weapon and criminal threats which
could result in death. Charges in the
Claremont attack have not yet been
filed. He is being held in lieu of
$500,000 bail with a San Bernardino
court date pending.

EDUCATION
Forum yields information, questions on La Puerta site
n June 9, Claremont Lincoln University placed a winning bid of

$14.35 million on a 9.7-acre piece
of property belonging to the Claremont
Unified School District. The potential purchase has raised questions and eyebrows,
given the parcels significant community
impact.
The land, former site of the districts La Puerta Intermediate School, is bound on the west side by the nineacre La Puerta Sports Park. The parks playing fields,
which the city has long leased from the district, are
popular sites for youth soccer and softball games. The
remaining three sides of the parcel face residential
neighborhoods.
Sports park users and neighbors gathered in the
multi-purpose room of Chaparral Elementary School
on July 23, hoping to learn more about the plans Claremont Lincoln University (CLU) has for La Puerta.
There were many concerns. Could the park be
closed to the public during construction or even indefinitely? Could the CLU buildings block the view of the
mountains or attract large amounts of traffic?
Representatives of CLU, most notably the schools
president Eileen Aranda, were on hand at the meeting
to take questions and listen to feedback. Other attendees included district luminaries Superintendent Jim
Elsasser and CUSD Board Member Hilary LaConte, as
well as town officials like Mayor Corey Calaycay and
City Manger Tony Ramos.
The guest shedding the most light on CLUs plans
was architect John E. Sather, who works for Swaback
Partners, the architectural firm employed by the college.
He made it known that while the site would serve as
the Claremont Lincoln University campus, it wont
have the impact of a traditional campus.
CLU students hailing from across the globe engage
in the schools curriculum, which emphasizes ethical
leadership and inter-denominational cooperation, via
online courses.
A couple of times a year, however, students will
gather at the home campus in an auditorium seating
500 or less students. There will be administrative offices, but the average number of daily visitors will be
small.
Mr. Sather then went on to deliver two principal
messages. The first was one of limitless possibility.
Swaback Partners is known for architecturally and environmentally innovative projects. Theyre also known
for taking the concerns and ideas of the people who
live near their building sites seriously. By working together, the architect said, CLU and residents have the
opportunity to shepherd in a building project the city
would be proud of 100 years from now.

John Sather, a senior partner at Sawback Partners architectural firm, takes questions from the audience last
Thursday during a special meeting to discuss the development of the former La Puerta Intermediate School
site. The meeting was organized by Claremont Lincoln University, Claremont Unified School District and the
city of Claremont to get the publics input on the project. Claremont Lincoln was the top bidder at a recent auction for the site and has proposed to swap locations with La Puerta Sports Park to build their facility on Indian
Hill Boulevard. In exchange, the institution would build a new sports park off of Forbes Avenue.
His second message was a more restrictive one.

The sale is in escrow and the buyer can back out if
the terms of the purchase prove unsuitable. This proved
to be the case when Brandywine Homes bought the La
Puerta site in November of 2013 for $19 million. The
homebuilders backed out of the deal a few months later
when the city failed to approve the number of units the
company had hoped to build on the site.
CLU will aim for low-density and low-visual impact, Mr. Sather said. Its his hope the school will reflect its surroundings. For instance, while he cant
promise there will be no three-story buildings on the
site, it is his preference to keep things to one or two
stories.
But the school does want to change the landscape a
bit by moving the sports park so its on the east side of
the property on Forbes Avenue, rather than on Indian
Hill Boulevard. The move would require approval by
the CUSD board and city council.
The swap would be beneficial to both Claremont
Lincoln and residents, Mr. Sather said. The university

would get needed exposure by being located on Indian
Hill, and Forbes Avenue residents would find the park
to be a nice buffer between the areas homes and the
university.
Should the change-up be approved, the park will be
rebuilt at Claremont Lincolns expense, according to
Mr. Sather. The creation of a new park would be tackled before campus construction, ensuring as much continuity as possible among park users.
School officials are eager for the sale to go through,
because they need the proceeds for pressing capital
projects. City officials seem likewise disposed to
green-light the park rotation.
The general consensus seems to be that CLUs plans
are a better fit for the neighborhood than Brandywines
housing development would have been. Still, several
Forbes Avenue homeowners worry that they could lose
privacy due to the parks placement. Another concern

A language is born...sort of
by Mellissa Martinez
esperate to escape the heat last

week, I took my children to see
The Minions. Anticipating a boring kid movie, I was happily surprised
when the movie began. It wasnt the animation, exciting story or plot line that
perked me up. Rather, it was the new language. I asked my teenager what they
were speaking and he whispered harshly,
Mom, havent you EVER seen one of
these movies? Its Minionese!
Minionese is a mixture of Spanish, Italian and English with a smattering of other languages and sounds.
When the little yellow guys see friends, they exuberantly exclaim buddy; when something goes wrong,
they ask que paso?; and when they see ice cream,
they scream gelato. I also heard a definite Japanese
kampai and what seemed to be Korean counting. Like
other invented languages, Minionese does not sound
like gibberishthe utterings of these creatures reflect
real language. Although the directors say that they
made it up, I suspect that, as with many invented
movie languages, a linguist has weighed in.
Languages that are constructed for the screen are
called conlangs. Some of the most well-known conlangs include Dothraki from Game of Thrones,
Navi from Avatar, Klingon from Star Trek and
Elvish, a Tolkien language used in many of his novels. According to Arika Okrent, author of In the
Land of Invented Languages, there is a structure to
the process of making up language, which unsurprisingly is cribbed from the way people study natural
languages. They focus on phonology (the sound system), morphology (the system for creating words),
syntax (the system for creating sentences) and the lexicon (the vocabulary, or the stuff you have to just
memorize).
LEX
IN THE
CITY
A professional conlanger might start with a few existing words or, in some cases, draw inspiration from
an already existing language. For example, it is said
that J.R.R. Tolkien was inspired by his love of Welsh
and Finnish, which is why many of his invented languages include words or structures from these languages. In a recent article in the LA Times, Dothraki
inventor David J. Peterson explained that his method
included identifying the patterns of the few existing
words penned by the author of the original story.
Once he established the consonant vowel patterns of
the words, he created roots for other words. In order
to create a harsh-sounding language, which reflected
the culture of the people, he added many throaty kh
sounds, which are perceived as harsh to English
speakers.
The same was true for Navi conlanger Paul Frommer. He explains that James Cameron had originally
devised about 30 words on his own. He writes, Those
gave me a sense of the sounds he had in his ear, which
struck me as rather Polynesian.For interest, I added
three varieties of popping-like sounds found in languages like Amharic, Georgian and Tlingit, which I
notated as kx, px and tx. I also excluded certain familiar sounds represented by English: b, d, g, j, ch, sh,
ththis helped give Navi a distinct character.
In most cases, those who create languages seek to
reflect the fictional world for which they are creating.
For example, the Dothraki people depend on the
strength of their horses. As a reflection of this rela-
tionship, the common expression how are you today?

is do you ride well today? It is said that Tolkien had
such a profound interest in language that he devised
his stories around his language creations. He wrote to
his son that his long book [The Lord of the Rings]
is an attempt to create a world in which a form of language agreeable to my personal aesthetic might seem
real.
There are some conlangs, such as Klingon, that far
outgrow television. This language has been learned
and developed by people around the world and in one
case, it was taught to a youngster as a native language. Although this sparked outrage for some, the
avid Star Trek fan was not harming his son; he continued to speak English to the boy as well. There is one
conlang, however, that has become so large and
widely accepted that it now has almost 2000 native
speakers and 2 million second language speakers
Esperanto.
Esperanto was not designed for Hollywood; it was
created for international communication and the promotion of world peace. Constructed in 1887 by physician and linguist L.L. Zamenhof to transcend
nationality, its speakers were persecuted during both
world wars but the language continued to survive, and
even thrive. Those who learn Esperanto and teach it
to their children as a native language are typically
utopian-minded. They form a network of people from
Brazil, China, Japan, Europe and many other countries who offer free hospitality to fellow Esperanto
speakers.
Esperanto has the uncommon effect of uniting people from different cultures and it might be said that
this is the effect of all conlangs. Unlike natural language, which tends to divide us, an invented language
is free to all. Anybody who is interested can acquire
Klingon, Elvish, Navi or Dothraki as a second language. Although I probably dont have the patience to
do so, I must admit after last weeks trip to the movie
that it would be a lot of fun to navigate a foreign
country in Minionese!
Is this the place with the French fries?
LA PUERTA/continued from page 5
is that stadium lights will cause

light pollution.
nother homeowner noted that

he could stand to
lose his view of the local
mountains should a CLU
structure rise too high.
Mr. Sather said technology
has changed significantly since
the old La Puerta stadium lights
were put in, noting that there are
ways to ensure lights are directed
onto the fields while not overpowering surrounding areas.
He emphasized that he wants
the community to welcome the
project, offering to go to anyones house and stand in their
yard to get the residents perspective.
If the park cant be flipped
with the school, it might just be a
deal-breaker, Mr. Sather admitted. Beyond that, however, noth-
ing about the facilities CLU hope

to build is set in stone.
His philosophy, and that of
Swaback Partners, is that community concerns and ideas
should be heard before a project
is begun.
When asked about his plans
for construction, he said none
have been drawn up. After all, he
pointed out, it would be disingenuous of him to seek community input when he has
already formed his vision.
This is just the first of several
community meetings that will
precede any concrete planning
for the La Puerta site, according
to Mr. Sather.

Claremont resident Robert Hauducoeur discusses the site of the former La Puerta Intermediate
School with Claremont Lincoln University Executive Vice President Laura Burgis last Thursday
at Chaparral Elementary School in Claremont. Mr. Hauducoeur lives on Forbes Avenue directly
across the street from the property the university has agreed to purchase.
STORM WATER/continued from page 3
The cooperative agreement names

Claremont as the lead agency. The city
of Claremont will be responsible for the
additional duties of awarding consulting
contracts for the monitoring service and
coordinating invoice payments, as well
as submitting annual reports to the Los
Angeles Regional Water Control Board.
The agreement provides for a 10 percent administrative fee to be paid to the
city of Claremont to compensate for additional duties associated with the lead
agency status.
City Attorney Sonia Carvalho said
that two other items relating to stormwater discharge permits also came before
the Claremont City Council during a
closed session on Tuesday.

The council voted 5-0 to direct city

staff to submit comments to the Los Angeles Regional Water Control Board before August 3 in what was described as
an administrative matter pending before the regional board.
In addition, the councilmembers authorized an intervention in a writ of mandate lawsuit that was filed on Friday,
July 24 by the National Resources Defense Council.
Based on the level of participation of
other cities impacted by this decision,
the city of Claremont may intervene in
that action if directed to do so by the city
manager, Ms. Carvalho said.

League of Women Voters presents Beatty Award

At its annual meeting in early June, the League of
Women Voters of the Claremont Area gave the Caroline Beatty Award to Barbara Rugeley. Ms. Rugeley,
the League notes, is a hardworking League member
whose exemplary service is reminiscent of Carolines
dedicated and tireless work in the past. Betsey Coffman presented the award to Ms. Rugeley.
Ms. Rugeley was a librarian at Citrus College until
her recent retirement. As a member of the League, she
has served as secretary, director of units and continues
as leader of the Observer Corps. In this position, Ms.
Rugeley has breathed new life in this process as she
recruits observers, coaches them on their roles and
serves as a liaison between the observers and the organizations they watch. Recently, Ms. Rugeley was a delegate to the LWV State Convention. She has served on
several LWV committees including the nominating,
membership, budget and voter service committees.
Outside of her activity with the League, Ms. Rugeley
is an active member and sometimes officer of other local organizations. Among them are the Friends of International Students, the Friends of the Claremont Library and the Kiwanis Club. She shares her excellent
storytelling skills with many and is a member of the Inland Valley Story Tellers. Last, but not least, League
members say, she shares her delicious homemade
cookies generously.
The League thanked Ms. Rugeley for her creativity,
thoughtfulness and hard work with a gift of flowers
and an engraved plaque.

School board elections near;

two people are running so far
The terms of two members of the Claremont Unified School District Board of Education, Hilary LaConte and Sam Mowbray, are set to expire this
coming December. As a result, two seats will be up
for grabs during the local and municipal election on
November 3.
Two candidates have thus far cast their hats into the
ring. Hilary LaConte, who has served on the CUSD
board since 2007, is running for re-election. Beth
Bingham, a longtime Claremont resident who served
on the school board previously from 2007 to 2011,
has also entered the race.
It is not yet known whether Mr. Mowbray will run
for re-election. The deadline for would-be school
board members to declare their candidacy is October
19. If only two candidates run for the two open
spaces, the election will be canceled, with Ms. Bingham and Ms. LaConte automatically taking their
places on the dais. Look for updates from the
COURIER as the election nears.

Middle Tree Academy seeks to foster student success
new Claremont endeavor was launched

this summer, the nonprofit Middle Tree Academy,
with the aim of making topnotch academic support and
college preparation affordable
for all students.
A number of kids have just finished
attending Middle Trees inaugural summer program, held on the Pomona College campus. In many cases, their
participation was supported by scholarships.
The camp featured two sessions of
three weeks, with some students attending all six weeks.
The focus for high school students
was on SAT and ACT preparation. The
teens began their session by taking practice versions of the culminating exams.
They then set out to address any areas of
weakness with the help of Claremont
resident Brandon Ecks, who teaches
high school at the Public Safety Academy in San Bernardino.
La Verne resident Olivia Silva, who is
going into 11th grade, plans to take the
ACT in spring. Her mom was looking
online for a test preparation program and
happened upon Middle Tree Academy. It

a few different jobs at the academy, last Thursday during a break in the groups
summer program at Pomona College.
has, Olivia says, proven to be reliable

and very good.
The prep test revealed something
Olivia already suspected; she could use
some work on math and science. She
feels a lot better after her time at the Middle Tree Academy, and hopes to continue
attending the academy when it begins

regular tutoring sessions in the fall.
Olivia is pretty business-like about
her goal of excelling on the ACT, because she has high hopes of attending a
prestigious college. Still, like all teens,
shes relieved to find that her instructor
isnt a bore. Mr. Ecks is a fun teacher,

she said.
The middle school students spent their
morning in a speech and debate class,
followed by an intro to writing. The
classes lasted 80 minutes to better approximate the college experience. After
lunch, the kids gathered for an afternoon
of creative problem-solving.
When the COURIER stopped by
Pomona Colleges Carnegie Hall on
Monday, the middle school kids were
constructing trees representing three
pressing problems: the drought, animal
abuse and bullying. The efforts were
overseen by Middle Tree Academy cofounder and CEO Joe Atman, with the
help of volunteer Rachel Fagg.
The drought was represented via the
bare branches of a tree made from wire
hangers. Given that schools offer fertile
ground for bullying, the students made
their anti-bullying tree out of books of
every ilk, stacked and glued together.
The plan is for the kids to display the
trees in various Claremont venues,
spreading awareness of their chosen
causes. They will also put out a collection box, soliciting donations for related
charities.
Were not just tutoring. Were building community, Mr. Atman said. Our

mission is to be a center for social growth.

Gabriel Buenfio, an eight grader at Townsend Jr.
High in Chino, has enjoyed his experience at the Middle Tree summer camp. Its nice, fun and helpful, he
said. Before I came, I had problems with math and
equations.
Savannah Arruda, 10, from Day Creek Intermediate
in Rancho, agreed that the most helpful aspect of the
summer program is working on math skills. But the
most fun would be the speech and debate, she said.
We get to do presentations. We had to choose a famous speech to study and I picked John F. Kennedys
We Choose to Go to the Moon speech.
iddle Tree Academy is the

brainchild of Mr. Atman, a doctoral candidate at Claremont
Graduate University. He plans for the
academy to target students with merit and
creative ingenuity from all backgrounds.

Giovani Garcia and Khalish Thompson decorate a donation box for abused animals on Thursday during
the afternoon session of the Middle Tree Academys summer program at Pomona College.
Claremont is the perfect location, because the people who can afford to pay for our program can help pay
for the people who cant, Mr. Atman said.
In the fall, pending permit approval, the Academy
will operate out of offices at 250 W. 1st St. Staff and
volunteers wont just provide homework help, nor will
they use a pre-prepared workbook created for general
student remediation or acceleration.
They will be using a patented curriculum developed
by Mr. Atman and Mr. Ecksone they say is fluid and
will be adapted as needed, and which will encourage
deep learning.
Were trying to get you ahead, Mr. Atman said.
Were going to help a D-student reach college potential. An A-student will become an A-plus-plus student.
The Academys model for its year-round tutoring
sessions is an unusual one. Families will sign up for a
membership, just as they would a gym. Students will
come when they wish, with their attendance paying off
in academic dividends.
Its an ambitious plan, but its one that Mr. Atman
has taken on with enthusiasm.
Im doing this because theres a need and Im an
audacious person, he said. I think education is done

improperly on the whole. Theres too much of a focus
on tests and workbooks.
In the normal education system, everybody is expected to learn things the same way, but were individuals, he continued. We want to flush out our students
individuality and help them learn in individual ways.
So far, that plan is going over well with Middle
Trees target audience.
Its a great place, Jade Sleiman, an 11-year-old El
Roble student, said.
Thirteen-year-old Sarai Carline of Foothill Christian
School was similarly enthusiastic.
My mom wanted me to get better at writing and
found this program, she said. Its super fun and has
helped me a lot. I was stoked to come here.

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 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
(888) 988-6736 or visit this Internet Web site
salestrack.tdsf.com, using the file number assigned to
this case 15-54004. 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 Declaration pursuant to
California Civil Code, Section 2923.5(a) was fulfilled

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

aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale
shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit
paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee,
or the Mortgagees Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you
may have been released of personal liability for
this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders rights against the real property only. As required by law, you are hereby

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
