Dear Editor: Is it just me or does anyone else find the April 12 article on Claremonts open spaceswhich might have been more appropriately titled The end of Claremont's open spacesdisturbing? Why are we so excited that we are filling up most of the remaining open spaces in our city? Why is the city council approving the building? Do we really need more houses and condos here in our city just because Mr. [Brian] Desatnik says there is certainly a demand for housing here. Because theres a demand, therefore we should build more? Since when does demand dictate common sense? More families mean more drains on resources. Water in our area is already scarce and expensive. So lets build more housing, which will increase the demand. In the sameApril 12 COURIER edition, another article noted we are issuing pink slips in the Claremont Unified School District due to budget cuts. More families mean more kids who will require an education, more police services, more trash services, more of everything. Does this really make sense? Who hasnt enjoyed strawberries from the fields off Towne and Base Line? Who hasnt seen the rock structures on Monte Vista and Base Line and wondered about who used to live there and what they did for a living? And what about just leaving some
spaces open and unoccupied, just so we can breathe and see a piece of land with nothing on it? Shouldnt we as a community be saying there is certainly a demand for it here. I think so.

Quality columnists
Dear Editor: Im not familiar with other hometown newspapers, but I am impressed with the quality of the columns in the Claremont COURIER by Jan Wheatcroft, John Pixley, Debbie Carini and Mellissa Martinez. Each one covers a different topic, and each one is well-written and informative. The Lex in the City by Ms. Martinez that covered the topic of mondegreens and eggcorns was especially interesting. I was inspired to email parts of the column to several friends, who in turn were inspired to email back with their own mondegreens and eggcorns. One related how her mother thought her parents were referring to the neck store neighbors. Another thought the wording in the song Guantanamera, was once in a meadow, oh, it was once in a meadow. Thank you for columns that inspire laughter, thoughtful insights, wisdom and, most recently, a column that brought back memories for a bunch of high school friends.

Eco-friendly diesel drivers have a reason to rejoice
laremont just got a little more eco-friendly, and just in time for Earth Day.
An alternative fueling station debuted this week at the Arco AM/PM station off Claremont and Foothill Boulevards courtesy of Propel Fuel, a California startup looking to reinvent the wheel for conscious consumers. In addition to the gas stations conventional offerings, customers can choose to make their way to Propels Clean Mobility Center to choose from Flex Fuel Ethanol 85 ($3.29/gallon) and Biodiesel B5 ($4.09/gallon), both environmental and American-made brands. Choosing between unleaded or supreme is not much of a choice, said Propel spokesperson James Quick. We want to provide real choices at the pump. Flex Fuel and Biodiesel are not your standard gasoline. Flex Fuel is made from a blend of ethanol and petroleum, which can be mixed at any percentage with regular gas and used for Flex Fuel-compatble cars. Biodiesel, on the other hand, is made from a mix of petroleum diesel and waste such as vegetable or soybean oil. Not only do these fuels give off cleaner emissions, they are made in the United States, according to Mr. Quick. Its all part of the companys recent Clean Mobility Center campaign, providing drivers with the opportunity to buy clean fuel while also moving away from Americas dependency on foreign oil. Last year, Propel obtained an estimated $21 million to expand their 31 stations in California and Washington to more than 200 stations by the end of 2014. Claremonts Clean Mobility Center is the 10th Propel station within the greater Los Angeles area. Plans for the Claremont station have been in the works for nearly 2 years, according to Arco Manager Ali Essayli, who first learned about Propel Fuel at a seminar sponsored by the Department of Energy. He began working closely with Propel representatives following his initial meeting. Though the Propel station is a completely separate enterprise from Arco, Mr. Essayli said he was intrigued by the prospect of a green section to the corner gas station. He hopes to eventually add a solar station to the setup. I want to give our customers more options, Mr. Essayli said. And Propel looks to continue diversifying its portion of the station as well. Though Flex Fuel Ethanol 85 and Biodiesel B5 are the only 2 blends currently available at Claremonts Propel station, District Manager Michael Orwat says it is likely they will introduce Biodiesel B20 in the not so distant future. Claremont resident Norm Barajas, who commonly commutes back and forth from LAX, says he has had to drive all the way to Long Beach or Monrovia to fill his diesel truck. He looks

forward to the shorter commute time. I drive all the time and try to use lower emission fuels whenever possible. If Im going to burn it, I might as well do something sensible, he explained. Im really excited [about the local biodiesel station]; Ive been waiting for this for a while. The excitement is shared by Doug Freeman of Monrovia, who makes the drive out to Claremont on an almost daily basis for work. Mr. Freeman recently made the upgrade to a roomier Flex Fuel-compatible Ford F-150 as he makes preparations to welcome his third child. Since learning that Flex Fuel would be offered at the Claremont Arco, his usual gas stop, he admits he has been calling Arco regularly to find out when the mobility center would be opening. For Mr. Freeman, one of the biggest perks of Flex Fuel is not only the price, but the origin. Its American-made and thats important to me, Mr. Freeman said. I want to be less dependent on foreign fuel. Not all cars are biodiesel- or Flex Fuel-compatible. Though all diesel cars can use biodiesel fuel, only cars with a Flex Fuel tag or yellow gas cap can use the latter. For a full list of compatible vehicles or for more information on Propel and the Clean Mobility Stations, visit www.propelfuels.com. Though an exact date has not been set, Propel plans to have a grand opening celebration, featuring gas discounts, for the new Claremont station later this month. Further details will be included in an upcoming edition of the COURIER.

Owners gather for advice to keep their businesses safe
ast weekends trio of commercial break-ins only served to reinforce the purpose of a gathering of Claremont residents and business owners held just 3 days later.
Following the Claremont Chamber of Commerce announcing its intent to address the uptick in commercial crime by hosting an educational seminar, business burglars struck again a mere street away from the location of the proposed meeting. Addressing these issues and how to keep our businesses safe could not be timelier, said Sergeant Lori Davenport to a crowd of about 50 concerned business folk Wednesday morning. We recognize that crime is increasing, she said. We are trying to come up with solutions. Sgt. Davenport and Detective Isaac Reyes spoke to the crowd amassed at the Chamber conference room, answering questions and delivering tips on how to keep businesses safe, particularly between the hours of 12:30 and 5:30 a.m. as that has been the time burglars have been targeting local shops. Among those in the audience was Mike Manning, owner of the Claremont Villages Last Drop Caf, the aforementioned shop broken into down the street from the Claremont Chamber. While it was already Mr. Mannings intent to attend the crime seminar, the break-in at his shop was a startling reminder. Mr. Manning explained he had unfor-

make off with the cash register. Though only about $137 was in the register, Mr. Manning has been left with hundreds of dollars in damages. Its great that the police are reaching out to the business owners and trying to find a solution to this problem, Mr.
Manning said. Police presented a series of tips to eager listeners. One of the most important tools in crime prevention is an alarm system with the proper precautions set in

Friday, April 12 One Claremont liquor store and more than 20 other establishments throughout southern California were cited last week for selling alcohol and lottery products to minors. Claremont police joined forces with 13 other local groups in a multiagency sting operation organized to make sure stores throughout southern California were complying with rules for selling alcohol, tobacco and lottery tickets. The enforcement procedure was funded by a grant from the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. A total of 208 locations, 7 in Claremont, were tested during the operation. During the test at Wine and Liquor Market, 750 S. Indian Hill Blvd., one employee was arrested and issued a citation for selling alcohol to a minor, according to Claremont police. According to regulations, the penalty for selling alcohol, tobacco or lottery items to an individual under the legal age is a $1000 fine and 25 hours of service to the community. **** Harlen Rueda of Glendora may have found some temporary liquid courage, acting aggressively and skipping out on his bar tab at The Press on Friday night, but his temperament quickly changed when police came into the picture.

Suspects still at-large from Claremont burglaries

Three businesses were burglarized over the weekend as the trend of commercial crime continues in Claremont. On Saturday, April 13 between 11 p.m. and 5:30 a.m., an unknown suspect smashed the front glass door of the Kicks shoe store located at 448 Auto Center Dr. A grand total of $7 was taken, according to the police report. Also on Saturday at approximately 3:30 a.m., an unknown suspect smashed the front glass door of the Last Drop Cafe located lice station after it was found left behind in the 200 block of Sixth Street. Claim your lost cow by calling the police department at 399-5411. Monday, April 15 There were a number of reasons 51year-old Adam Secor of Pomona should have stayed away from the Claremont Colleges, but he ignored all of them. The first reason was that he had already been in trouble for trespassing at the colleges before. Second, he was wanted by Glendora police for an outstanding violation. Add to both those factors that he was also under the influence of a controlled substance, according to Det. Ewing. Mr. Secors next jaunt was to the local jail. **** at 119 Harvard Ave. The cash register and tip jar totaling an estimated $137 were stolen. On Sunday, April 14, at approximately 5 a.m., an unknown suspect smashed the front glass door of Dr. Burwells dental office located at 2050 N. Mills Ave. The suspect(s) entered the business, but nothing was taken. Anyone with information regarding these crimes should contact the Claremont Police Department at 3995411. The Claremont Police Department are searching for a man and woman accused of using a stolen credit card to purchase a PlayStation 3 gaming system from Target in La Verne. On April 1 sometime between 8 and 8:45 p.m., suspects stole a credit card delivered by UPS to a home in the 300 block of Armstrong Drive in Claremont. The suspects were seen leaving the Target shopping center in a gray/brown Ford Expedition with dark wheels. Anyone with information on the identity of the suspect is asked to contact the Claremont Police Department Detective Bureau at 399-5420.
a little too late, according to Detective Robert Ewing. Though police may have sobered his mood, it did nothing for his blood alcohol content. Mr. Rueda was arrested for being drunk in public and held until sober. **** The Apple burglars strike again, this time at Chaparral Elementary School. As students made their exit on Thursday afternoon, the crooks made their entrance. By the time kids arrived at school the following morning, 3 of their Macintosh computers were missing. Police are following a lead, but no suspect has been identified. Saturday, April 13 The Claremont United Church of Christ was targeted in an apparent gangrelated vandalism between midnight on Friday, April 12 and Saturday, April 13 at 10 p.m. A couple of glass windows were smashed and graffiti was scrawled across 2 exit doors on church property, according to Det.

Sanitation rate increase, Walgreens considers coming to Claremont
laremont property owners have until May 14 to formally object to a proposed 2 percent rate increase in city sanitation fees.
The city of Claremont sent a Notice of Public Hearing to all property owners and sanitation customers on March 27 to allow property owners an opportunity to protest. The public hearing will take place Tuesday, May 14 at the regular city council meeting. According to a city news release, addresses were collected from a database provided by the LA County Assessors Office as well as the citys existing sanitation customer database. Duplicate addresses were found and, according to the city, a small number of reports were received from households receiving 2 protest forms. Households that did receive 2 protest forms may return either one to have their vote counted. Additionally, some reports of county residents inadvertently receiving the mailing due to their inclusion on the LA County Assessors Office database were received.

Walgreens looks to build in Claremont The city has received conceptual plans for a new, 14,550-square-feet. Walgreens store to be located on the vacant land at the southeast corner of Towne Avenue and Foothill Boulevard, according to this weeks city managers report. A drive-through Walgreens is already situated on the northwest corner of Towne Avenue and Foothill in the city of Pomona. No further information was provided on the future of that site, should a second pharmacy be built in Claremont. There was discussion of securing a drive-through pharmacy at the corner of Arrow Highway and Indian Hill Boulevard in the Peppertree Shopping Center, but there was no explanation in the city managers report as to why Walgreens chose the alternate location. The COURIER will follow up with city staff in an upcoming edition. The proposal consists of one building, parking, a drive-through, landscaping, lighting and associated
signage and also includes parking and vehicle access connections with the adjacent commercial developments (76 Gas Station and Marie Callendars restaurant). The Planning Division staff is in the process of evaluating the proposal for compliance with city development standards. The architectural commission will be conducting a preliminary review for the conceptual plans at their meeting on Wednesday, April 24, beginning at 7 p.m., in the City Council Chamber, 225 W. Second St. The preliminary review is the first step in the review process for the project, and is being done in order to identify any site and/or design issues early on that should be addressed prior to Walgreens finalizing their plans. There will be no formal action taken on the project at this meeting. The application and plans are on file in the Planning Division at city hall, located at 207 Harvard Ave., and are available for review Monday through Thursday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information on the proposal, call Senior Planner Mark Carnahan at 399-5322 or send written comments to, P.O. Box 880, Claremont, CA 91711.
place, according to Sgt. Davenport. She suggested that business owners direct alarm companies to call the police immediately should an alarm be activated. Its never a problem for us, Sgt. Davenport insisted. The way the trend is going right now, better to get us there as quick as possible because there is already a delay from when that alarm gets activated to when the alarm company is making those calls. If they can call us first...we can get there pretty quick. The position of a camera is also significant, added Det. Reyes. Instead of placing a camera in the corner of a store looking down, he noted that the smoke shop on Auto Center Drive places its camera at eye level. That way, police are able to get a good look at the suspects face instead of the top of their head: It helps us narrow down the time from, Det. Reyes noted. He also suggested that instead of placing a camera to look at the business, mounting it to face outward so footage picks up what direction the suspect takes off and potentially picks up a description or license plate of a getaway vehicle. Motion detectors and audible alarm systems are another great resource. And for those stores with glass storefronts, the target for several of the recent break-ins, Sgt. Davenport recommended an action swaying from the popular belief: Rather than closing up your register, leave the door wide open. If they know there is no money in the cash register, hopefully they are not going to break in, Sgt. Davenport said. She further suggested leaving a note on the door stating that the business does not leave money in the store at night. Appropriate lighting was also emphasized. Contrary to the accepted practice of leaving an office dimly lit or dark when workers are away, officers suggested that its after hours are when employees should be cranking up the lighting. Its just like how we light up our

porch at night so we can see who is at the door. When [officers] drive through and work patrol at night...we get out on foot and check doors and stuff, but we cant see inside, said Sgt. Davenport, who suggested LED lighting or motion-sensor lights to keep costs down. Its fairly inexpensive to put these different lighting systems in place. Appropriate lighting throughout business complexes and shopping centers was an area of concern for many of those present. City Manager Tony Ramos, present at the morning meeting, ensured that the city would do whatever necessary to ensure that the owners of these centers are working to ensure safety in Claremonts business sector. Likewise, Chamber CEO Maureen
Aldridge said she would work with Chamber members to help build Business Watch groups similar to the idea of neighborhood watches. Businesses in the Vons Shopping Center, for example, could band together and help keep an eye out for suspicious activity. If funds are available, Ms. Aldridge added that the Chamber could look into creating Business Watch stickers to be fixed to the front of local businesses as an extra crime-fighting measure. Residents chimed in other ways they are taking extra precautions. Marty Moreno, manager of Claremont Lock and Key, mentioned he his business has lined the glass with a security film after hearing about burglaries smashing rocks
through the front of businesses in order to gain access. Claremont resident Ed Reece of the Claremont Crime Prevention Coalition also suggested including a glass sensor. As residents take matters into their own hands, making appropriate changes to keep their property and businesses safe, Sgt. Davenport emphasized the police force is also taking extra precautions to get to the bottom of the break-ins. As distressing as it is to you to have your business broken into, it is for us also, Sgt. Davenport said. We dont like to see the crime rate go up...but we are changing things up and trying to address whats going on.
Growing to a new stage in Claremont

by John Pixley
oo bad The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee isnt still playing. I would say run, dont walk, to this Claremont High School theater production.
The musical, which played for 2 weekends last month, certainly should still be going on. When I saw it, I was simply astounded for the entire 2 hours. It was the best, or best done, show that I have seen in years. Of any show, including professionally done stuff in Los Angeles and Hollywood. Not only that. I saw the play on the next to the last night, and I told my friend who was out from LA that he had to see it. My friend, who has seen and done lots of theater in LA and New York, saw the final performance and was floored. He said that the show was better than many professional shows he has seen and that those kids should be getting paid to be on stage in West Hollywood. Indeed, it was the kids who made the show. I had seen the play before and thought it was okay and thought I wouldnt see this production. But because it was at Sycamore School auditoriuman unusual venue and easily accessible in my wheelchairI decided to go, and the acting was a revelation. It wasnt just acting; these students had grown into and were living their characters. Although the characters werent much more than caricatures, the students made them real and whole. All were excellent, but 2 of the cast members stood out. Emerson Dauwalder was hysterical as he totally tripped out playing Leaf Coneybear, the trippy, blissed-out home-schooled hippie kid. And the way Hunter Alkonis, as Mitch Mahoney, escorted the losing spelling bee contestants as part of his community service sentence conveyed worlds of emotions in a look or a touch was breathtaking. Both also, in brief scenes, portrayed a pair of gay dads with considerable sensitivity. No doubt the production taking place in a funky old
observer
school auditorium, much like the musicals setting, contributed to its perfect-storm authenticity. There was also the work of the director and choreographer DJ Gray, returning to her alma maters (CHS and Sycamore) after doing much professional theater work, including on Spelling Bee. And Krista Carson Elhai, who has done remarkable work as the high school theater director, clearly had a hand in the doings as producer. While this production was done at Sycamore School for practical reasonsthe theater at the high school was being renovated and was no doubt still torn upthe unique venue not only made the show even better. In so doing, it made the opening of the new theater a couple weeks later all the more exciting. And more meaningful. Yes, I say new theater. It is true that the theater was renovated, but, on top of it being renamed the Donald F. Fruechte Theatre for the Performing Arts in honor of Ms. Elhais predecessor who founded the high schools theater department and is just as legendary to those who attended CHS it is definitely a new space. While I dont know if I can call it beautiful, the theater is certainly no longer a dingey, cramped hole with, among other features, wheelchair accommodations that were, frankly, a joke. Not only do I no longer have to maneuver through a black backstage area in my wheelchair, but with comfortable flip-up seats instead of folding metal chairs and without steep stairs and narrow passageways, the theater is now more accessible and welcoming to everybody. Because the theater was barely accessible and not
that welcoming, I wasnt seeing most of the remarkable work that Ms. Elhai and her students were putting on. And its really why I went to the production at Sycamore School. I thought about all this when I attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony and opening with a line-up of school and city officials and other dignitaries last month, thrilled to see the changes made. I was also delighted that they were the result of a great, true community effort, with thousands and thousands of dollars given, earning a matching grant from the state. But what I was really thinking on the bright, early spring afternoon was these kids deserve this! For their hard, amazing work, stunningly evidenced in Spelling Bee, they deserve this community effort, this community support. Just as my friend said they deserve to be paid to play in West Hollywood, they deserve this nice, real, state-of-the-art theater instead of a dark hole-in-the-wall. These bright, creative students, many of whom may have trouble fitting in in other areas of the campus, deserve this place to be safe and to grow and be their best. Like the boy who could barely speak in a math class I was in when at the high school and who I was amazed to see not only in a theater production but singing and dancing in the production. As Andrew Lindvall, a 2010 CHS graduate in town during the week of the opening, commented, Ms. Elhai was one of the first teachers I ever had who would give you the responsibility to do something and expected you to do it. Theres an intensity that has prepared me for everything Ive done thereafter. You dont just learn art here, you learn occupational skills. And there was this from CHS Principal Brett OConnor: To have students leaving with employable skills is good for the school, good for the community and good for the country. This is a program we can be very proud of.

Small warning, hefty fine

Dear Editor: Congratulations to the city of Claremont and its police department for developing both a clever and entirely legal method of imposing extortionate entrance fees upon unsuspecting out of town visitors. Not beholden to the dull and conventional practice of actually posting parking restrictions on a street, the city does make sure to post the smallest and most inconspicuous signs at the city perimeter. That tiny sign yielded $70 for 2 overnight parking tickets, certainly paying for the cost of the placard many times over. As seen from a Google street view at the entrance of the city on Indian Hill Boulevard, the so-called sign indicating no overnight parking is almost hidden from view. Especially late at night, the sign after the Indian Hill exit off of the I-10 San Bernadino Freeway is easily missed. Even if an eagle-eyed motorist does catch the sign, posted lower and away from other traffic signs, the no overnight parking sign could just as easily refer to the parking lot for a strip mall. This miniscule placard was the only indication of the citywide parking ordinance for the particular route I drove. I now have gone through 2 levels of appeals with the city and filed a complaint with the police department. Each representative insisted that the citations for overnight parking were issued in an entirely legal manner. I am sure they were, and I congratulate the city for coming up with a legalized means of extortion. However, I am particularly confused by a hearing examiners conclusion that drivers are required to look for signs when parking. Since there were no signs on the street where I parked, I wonder if out-of-town drivers are also required to look for the nonexistent or invisible signs as well? I have gone through 2 levels of appeals and spoken with a representative of the Claremont Police Department. Still, no one can explain how any reasonable person could believe 1) that someone coming from out of town would anticipate parking restrictions without any restrictions posted on the street, like almost every other community outside Claremont would do; 2) that such inconspicuous posting of a placard as indicated in the attached image constitutes sufficient notification; and 3) that

someone from out of town should apparently be able to absorb such restrictions through osmosis or some other mysterious process of orientation. But congratulations, city of Claremont. You have figured out a way to coerce $70 from out-of-town visitors, and you did it within the letter of the law!

Dear Editor: Water is a much broader issue than if the city of Claremont can buy back our water rights from Golden State Water. Water, the cost of water to the consumer, is going to be an increasingly serious issue to not just Claremont but to other communities and to our state, to the nation and the world as long as water is considered to be a commodity from which those who would privatize it would make a profit from it. Water is more than just a commodity but a basic necessity of life. Monopolies used to control the cost of electricity 80plus years ago. Franklin Roosevelt felt that electricity was a basic necessity of life and that everyone should be able to afford it. Well, there is no more of a basic necessity than water. The price of water should never become so costly that we have to make hard choices between what we choose to eat and whether we can pay the water bill. Not only should we be outraged by having a monopoly control the cost, but we should look to what is supposed to be a public utility commission for help. The possibility of help from the commission is less likely to occur as long as the members of the commission are appointed and not elected. Whether or not the appointees are consumer-friendly depends on the governor appointing them. Too often, the appointments that are made are the result of political favors being repaid. Im sure that some of us remember when property taxes became outrageous for seniors, well the cost of water has skyrocketed over the years and our public utility commission has up until this point not seen a rate increase that they do not like. No senior nor citizen should have the
cost of water be so high that their way of life is adversely affected because of a monopoly being able to make an ever increasing profit and by the failure of the PUC to really work on the consumers behalf. Where has the PUC been while citizens have had a surcharge to their bill added as a result of their saving on water usage? It is totally unfair to ask us to save on water usage and then want to be paid more money because the profits are reduced. The time has come to have a publiclyelected PUC. Yes, the corrupting influence of money may result in the wrong people being elected, but then that would be our fault for electing them. We stand a much better chance of having publiclyelected PUC members be responsive to the public than if they are appointed. Who do appointees owe their allegiance to? They are not responsive to our needs.

Our bill of rights

Dear Editor: Yet again, words are flying nationally and locally on the issue of supposed gun control and gun violence. Lets begin with a little background. In the Declaration of Independence our founders declared that our rights, our natural rights, our rights as American citizens, come from God. Meaning specifically, that our rights do not come from a king, not from a politician, not from a president, not from a congress, not from a state legislature, nor even from a city council, but from God. The founders then codified those rights in our governing documentthe Constitutionto protect them against future encroachments and infringements. Shortly after its ratification, and necessary in order to obtain its ratification, the Constitution itself was enhanced, and our rights further emphasized and clarified with the first ten Amendments thereto, which we commonly refer to as the Bill of Rights. That is, rights that shall not be infringed by any temporary, elected body. Now, fast forward to today. To help cut through all of the hubris and demagogery, let these assertions be submitted to a candid world:
The Constitution is never on the ballot at election time; the Bill of Rights is never on the ballot; no particular set of election results has the power to re-write the Constitution; candidates are on the ballot, but never the Constitution or the Bill of Rights; neither the Senate, nor the House of Representatives has the authority to rewrite the Constitution with a mere vote on legislation; just because members of Congress are physically able to write, vote on, and pass legislation does not necessarily mean that they have the Constitutional authority to do so; where are the public, televised hearings by all of the relevant committees and sub-committees discussing the proposed gun control legislation?; the public hearing process is essential to the American people for understanding what their Congress is up to; it takes time for inside-the-beltway news to be absorbed and digested by the citizenry at-large; secret, back room deals a la Manchin/ Toomey are repugnant to small 'r' republican government. At the moment, a lot of bloviating politicians are acting as though our Bill of Rights is only a bill of needsthe needs, of course, defined arbitrarily and capriciously by them. For example, New York governor Andrew Cuomo, No one needs 10 bullets to kill a deer. But, lets play along for just a minute with this 'needs' business. How about this in regard to the First Amendment? No one really needs ABC, CNN or MSNBC when we have Fox News. No one really needs the Washington Post when we have the Washington Times. Let there be no doubt, as soon as even one of our rights is up for grabs, then, ultimately, theyll all be up for grabs, and at the whim of whatever mobocracy dominates the political landscape at the time. And, yes, this applies especially to the platitudinous goal of solving gun violence, which, by the way, none of the Democratic Senates currently-proposed legislation would have an effect on, anyway. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the time for plain speaking. Those who talk about needs instead of rights evidence a totalitarian mind-set. Very different from an American mindset that holds our Godgiven rightsand our libertiesforemost. Douglas Lyon

Earth Day thoughts at Sycamore Canyon

by Char Miller
I heard the water splashing long before I saw its fall.

The sounda clear, thin cascadedrew me east as I walked the gravel-rough horse trail paralleling Thompson Creek diversion channel in northern Claremont. Streaming west in the concrete bed was a slow flow from the previous days rain: I knew more about how these waters traveled to the Pacific than I did about their source. The deep ditch drops away from Thompson Creek dam, cuts along the base of the foothills before turning south into Pomona, where it swings past Ganesha Park and Cal Poly Pomona, and then pushes past La Puente, City of Industry, and Avocado Heights. The channel converges with the San Gabriel River near the 60 and 605 freeway interchange. From that confluence, it is a relatively straight shot to the sea. But not so the movement of water into this artery-like construction, one branch of which I hoped to trace that early weekend morning. The splish-splashing I heard signaled I was close to Sycamore Canyon and the unnamed creek that over the millennia has given shape to the rough floor through which it trickles and the manzanita-choked walls that rise above. Crossing the short bridge that leads over the Thompson Creek ditch and into the canyon's mouth, I was struck that as a landform there is nothing particularly unusual about the 144-acre site, one of hundreds of wedged-sized ravines that give contour to the San Gabriel foothills. As best anyone knows, nothing of great significance has happened at this spot, either. Sycamore Canyon would have remained undistinguished and indistinguishable had not its upper folds been bulldozed and flattened for the construction of Claraboya. To domesticate the ridgelines and outcroppings that surround its high-priced homes, its residents planted non-native trees, shrubs, and grasses, all heavily irrigated. The increased density of woody vegetation turned the crests of these once-golden hills emerald, a chromatic shift that spelled trouble in the fall of 2003. Late that October, a firestorm erupted across Southern California, one of which, the Grand Prix Fire, torched 170,000 acres along the southern flank of the San Bernardino and San Gabriel mountains, killed 6 people, destroyed more than one thousand homes, and cost over $50 million to suppress. Among the many neighborhoods that were evacuated in advance of the rapidly moving fire was Claraboya. The precautionary move was a good thing: Sycamore Canyon became a swirling cauldron, shooting flames up a ladder of vegetation to engulf residences above. The Padua fire was so destructive that Sycamore Canyon was sealed off for the next 10 years, but last month it reopened after a multi-year reclamation project that, once complete, will give Sycamore Canyon a better chance of recovering its indigenous habitat. If successful, this regenerative strategy may mark a

SUSTAINABILITY
significant turning point in our understanding of what water means in, to, and for southern California. So it occurred to me after tramping about a mile along the canyon floor and I retraced my steps, following the creeks low-pitched gurgle to where it drained into a pipe that sluiced it toward the Thompson Creek channel and from which that morning it spilled so musically. The difference between the restored creek bed and the concrete ditch is not simply that one is natural and the other engineered. It's a little more complicated to acknowledge that these 2 systems actually are intertwined yet also reflect differing conceptions of our role in managing water in the semi-arid Southland. The Thompson Creek channel is designed to capture runoff and flush it to the ocean as fast as possible. Its developers did worry about how ecologically sound the upper reaches of its watershed was. Theirs was a technocratic impulse and imperative. The restoration of Sycamore Canyon is every bit as managerial in its motivation. Foresters, ecologists, and landscape designers have rearranged hillside and creek bed, selected which tree species should be logged and which should be cultivated, and used goats, chainsaws, shovels, and hammers to build a model terrain. The difference between these visions lies not in tools but in intent. Shaped by the history of damaging floods, mid-20th-century engineers argued that moving water was a danger or a waste; to control the former and get rid of the latter was built into the complex web of dams, ditches, and channels that gives shape to modern Los Angeles.
Yet this rigid plumbing system also robs the land of its health. By diverting water away from local aquifers, by straitjacketing once free-flowing rivers, it disables these natural systems and the ecological communities that depended on them. Hurt too is the publics health, a claim that is tied to an all-encompassing ecological ethic planted with each sycamore seedling on this small patch of ground inside the Thompson Creek watershed. We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us, Aldo Leopold argues in Sand County Almanac. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect. Essential to that feeling of respect is accepting that our use is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability, and beauty of the biotic community. It is wrong when it tends otherwise. In Sycamore Canyon, Claremont is trying to get it right.

At the time, it was considered novel for a retail store, particularly a pharmacy, to displays so prominently a work by local artists, and stories about the mural were featured in several pharmacy magazines, including Pharmacy Today, NARD (the publication of the National Association of Retail Druggists) and West Coast Druggist. When the buildings next occupant, Walters Restaurant, expanded in the late 1970s, the mural taken down and placed in storage. In 2012, Claremont Heritage found the ideal home for the mural at Keck Graduate Institute (KGI), which had recently established a School of Biopharmacy. It is now on permanent loan to the school. KGI President Sheldon Schuster believes the mural couldnt have found a better or more appropriate home. We are thrilled to have the mural here and the timing couldnt be more perfect, Mr. Schuster said. Just as the mural shows the historical progress of pharmacy and medicine, we are also working to establish a program that will educate the next generation of pharmacy students and reflect 21st century realities
The April 20 viewing event will give guests the opportunity to meet Kathy Webster, the recently appointed dean of the School of Biopharmacy, as well as Ms. Divelbess. Mr. Coates died in 1972 at age 61, but his son, Ladd Coates, will also be on hand. His parents were divorced and, when he was in Claremont visiting his dad, who couldnt cook anything except bologna sandwiches and coffee, they would head to the old Walters Caf on Yale Avenue. The elder Mr. Coates would smoke and drink coffee while Ladd would have a hamburger. They would then head next store to browse at Hendricks, which was a full-service drugstore at the time. One of the most memorable such outings took place in 1966, just before Ladd shipped out for Vietnam. He was so proud of me for being in uniform like he had been in World War II. He took me to Walters to eat a bunch of hamburgers. Then, we went next door to Hendricks, and the mural was hanging in its place up on the wall, Mr. Coates said. Keck Graduate Institute is located at 535 Watson Dr. in Claremont. For information, visit http://biopharmacy.kgi.edu.
A final run for Joe:

Boston Marathon conjures memories, brings close call
his was definitely my last Boston Marathon and, of course, I will never forget it, said Claremont resident Suzanne Wojcik as she tried to wrap her head around the tumultuous events of the previous 72 hours. It wasnt until she was in a hotel room 200 miles away from the incident that she allowed her feelings to fully envelop her. I just couldnt stop crying, she admitted.
Long before the eerie silence that crept over the usually bustling and jovial post-marathon atmosphere, Ms. Wojcik admitted she had been feeling particularly emotional. Being back at the Boston Marathon with her family less than a year after her husband Joe Wojciks death from cancer was overwhelming in and of itself. When I checked into the hotel on Sunday, I had one of these moments widows describe as ambush moments, she related. The place was crawling with runners excited about the race. Every place I turnedthe lobby, the barbrought back so many memories. It just reeked of Joe. Mr. Wojcik was a fanatic about the Boston Marathon, just as he was a fanatic about running. Not a day went by without at least a 2-mile bound along Base Line Road and up around his home in Claraboya. Running was the highlight of his life. He ran every day through chemotherapy and radiation. It was just his passion, Ms. Wojcik said. Joe was a little bit of a Claremont celebrity. When people met him they would always say, Oh, youre the bald guy I always see running on Base Line! He ran an average 5 miles a day over the last 30 years of his life, and participated in more than 60 marathons across 25 different countries and all 50 states. But for Mr. Wojcik, as for many other runners across the globe, it was all about the Boston. Its the ultimate. There is nothing bigger or better than getting into Boston because you have to qualify. My dad was serious about running and the challenge appealed to him, his son Joe, Jr. said. Running was a cherished activity for father and son and 2 of Mr. Wojciks prized 8 Boston Marathons were shared with his namesake. Beyond the race itself were the memorable pre-marathon activities: a Sunday ballgame at Fenway Park, a carb-loaded pasta dinner the night before the race, and visiting the expo to check out the latest shoes and other running gear. Though not entirely sure if he was joking, it came as no surprise to the family when the elder Mr. Wojcik decreed, even before he became ill, that he wanted his ashes spread along the route of the Boston Marathon when he died. When Mr. Wojcik succumbed to pancreatic cancer last July, Joe, Jr. said there was no question that he was going to fulfill his fathers wish. He labored

COURIER archive photo Joe Wojcik, seen here in a photo from a 2007 edition of the COURIER, was an avid runner until his death from cancer last July. This week, Mr. Wojciks son and brother-in-iaw ran the Boston Marathon as a tribute. The men set out to spread Mr. Wojciks ashes along the race route and, as a result, became inadvertently entangled in the aftermath of bombing at the finish line.
through the 90-degree heat of last years race to qualify for this year by 10 seconds. Joe, Jr. made his way to Boston to compete alongside his Uncle and Mr. Wojciks brother-in-law, Gregory LaMothe, each equipped with several small bags of ashes. Their plan was to sprinkle the ashes at several memorable aspects of the race: the start at Hopkinton, at Wellesley CollegeMr. Wojcik loved the exhilaration from the screams of the college crowdat Heartbreak Hill, the toughest but last hill along the route, and, of course, at the finish. Ms. Wojcik and Mr. LaMothes wife, Louise, came along for the special tribute and to cheer their men on from the throngs. There was nothing to suggest this race, which Ms. Wojcik had attended many times before with her husband, would be any different. There was the usual commotion and crowd 6people deep around the finish. Ms. Wojcik recalled that at her first Boston Marathon, she could reach out and touch her husband at the finish if she wanted to, there were so few people. Now with 23,000 runners, everything is blocked off. She woke early to walk around the finish line before the blockades went up. She considered taking a picture, but instead turned and left. She
then walked back to her hotel to wait for her son. An emotional rollercoaster Despite the emotional task before him, or maybe because of it, Joe, Jr. ran with an extra exuberance that day. In fact, though he had more than the usual mindless run before him, he reached the finish line in a record time of 3 hours and 14 minutes, a personal best. I felt a little bit of a kinship with him in the run, Joe reflected. Id like to think he helped me in that endeavor and propelled me to my fastest time in Boston. I will attribute all that to my fathers presence and influence in my life. With about 80 minutes until his uncle was expected to cross the finish line, Joe headed to the hotel to relax. In another part of the hotel, Ms. Wojcik had the news on as background noise in her hotel room, when the sound of sirens caught her attention. Though she heard the reporters talk about an explosion, it didnt immediately click. I thought it was probably just a little gas pipe explosion, Ms. Wojcik said. I just couldnt wrap my head around bomb. The panic didnt really set in until she realized the time of the explosions was also around the time her brother
had expected to finish the race. His wife, Louise, usually waits for him at the finish line, where the bombs had detonated. Your mind starts to play tricks on you and you begin to think of all the what-ifs, Ms. Wojcik said. She connected with her son, who had come to the same realization as her, and tried calling her brother, his wife, anybody that might know if they were okay. They couldnt reach anybody. She didnt realize then that much of the cell service in the area had been cut off. Hours before, Mr. LaMothe was taking his time with his 10th and what he says is his last Boston Marathon. I joke that I have ran young and ran old, and young is way better, Mr. LaMothe said. There is no getting around it, the time it takes to prep for a marathon and the time it takes to recover when you are older is longer...but when Joe asked me to come with him, I couldnt say no. Mr. LaMothe was pleased to find the race-day weather was gorgeous and he wanted to take his time and reflect on not only his last Boston, but on the life of his brother-in-law and the spreading of his ashes.

The Boston Marathon:
Lucky to be slow, lucky to have Joe

by Gregory LaMothe

A FINAL RUN FOR JOE continued from the previous page
nated spreading grounds, Mr. LaMothe had another place in mind. The Citgo sign along the marathon route is significant for many of the runners, as Mr. LaMothe explained it. When you see that sign, just a mile away from the finish, you know the end is in sight. Though Mr. Wojcik was too sick to attend the marathon last year, he gave his son and brother-in-law one bit of encouragement before they left: When you get to the Citgo sign, Ill be there for you in spirit and run you in. With this memory in mind, Mr. LaMothe headed to the Citgo sign with special purpose. Knowing the significance of this place, Ms. LaMothe had deviated from her usual spot along the finish and opted to cheer for her husband from the Citgo sign instead. It took awhile to sink in, Mr. LaMothe said. I will always remember Joe when reflecting on that moment, because he was such a kind person. Why not say an extension of that kindness was whatever caused us not to be in harms way. Making sense of it all Mr. LaMothe said he was about a quarter mile from the finish and long past rational when it struck him as odd that spectators had flooded the course, blocking his route to the finish. He became grouchy. I couldnt understand why people were on course. The police are fanatical about people stepping over the barriers, Mr. LaMothe said. Then I saw people running toward me and, of course, thought it was just absurd. From there, it was one of those things, like getting a piece of very bad news one drop at a time. At first, they say you are kinda sick, then they say its a sickness no one else has but you. Five minutes later, they say the sickness is life threatening and 5 minutes later, its you are going to die. Piece by piece runners were filling us in about the explosions. There were hundreds and hundreds of us in our running shorts and singlets, walking around not knowing what was happening. Officers finally ushered the runners to an alternative route where they could collect their belongings. They were then told to go to their hotels and stay put. Mr. LaMothe said the hotel lobby and restaurants were bursting with people,
all talking about the explosions. The hotel was filled with the cacophony of voices, a million stories recounting where each person was when the bombs went off.
n order to grasp major external events, we tend to internalize. A bomb goes off...and its huge national news, but each person sees it through their own personal experience, Mr. LaMothe said. Its hard to process or understand the horror at this large macro level unless we are able to tell ourselves how it affected us personally.
While the insides of the hotels were swarming with people under lockdown, the outside was a different story, Joe, Jr. recounted. It was pretty eerie, like a war zone, he recalled. Usually, there is a great sense of jubilationeveryone is thrilled and happy. This year was certainly different. There were sirens and yellow tape, police everywhere. It was disappointing. The Wojciks and the LaMothes were never able to make direct contact; the La Mothes hotel was near the finish, while the Wojciks were walled up at a hotel in Cambridge. It was through a Facebook post that Ms. Wojcik was able to get peace of mind that her brother was okay. Within the next 24 hours they each headed out in different directions, Ms. Wojcik to New York City, the LaMothes to Texas and Joe Jr. on a business trip in Mexico. Its been an emotional rollercoaster, Joe, Jr. said, but in all the crisis and panic, I was so impressed with the people in Boston and the way everyone came together and helped out when the bombs exploded. Despite the tragedy, there are a lot of good people out there. Ms. Wojcik believes that in spite of the devastation, the camaraderie of the running community, the spirit and joy of her husband, was alive that day. Many went to give blood or just stepped in to help in whatever way they could. When the going gets hard, theyre tough, she expressed. Joe was the same way. Beth Hartnett

y brother-in-law Joe Wojcik, who died last July of pancreatic cancer, was one tough runner. He had a streak of not missing a day of running for over 34 years, and had run several Boston Marathons, some of them with me. We had many years sharing our passion for running. Last year was a difficult year for our entire family as his health declined, but Joe was stoic, forthright and impatient with platitudes or maudlin comments. But he did express one wish: If you ever go back to Boston, leave my ashes along the course as my final visit there. He loved that race. This year was my tenth and final Boston. I didnt want to go at all, but I had to for Joe. His son Joseph Jr. and I planned to run, carrying a few small one-inch square packets of ashes, and spread them at memorable points on the course: the start, Wellesley, Heartbreak Hill and the Finish. Last year, my nephew and I also ran in that awful heat, and Joe told us before we left, When you get to the Citgo sign (one mile from the finish), Ill be there for you in spirit and run you in. I told my nephew, Im going to break down when I get to the Citgo sign thinking of him, but it will be great to know he is with us, and in fact it was quite emotional for me during that last mile in 2012. I knew that would be a place I would want to leave some ashes this year. My wife, who normally waits for me at the finish, told me she would be on the left side of the course by the sign, so she could wave to me and watch me leave some ashes for Joe. And that is why she was far from the explosions on race day. Thank you, Joe. As for me, my entire race was about this family mission. I spent the whole week traveling on business and went into the race pretty tired, but I didnt care. I had no time goal, just a plan to enjoy this final Boston, take my time, slap hands with the Wellesley women, wave to everyone and savor the experience. So while I didnt have my best race time, it was the best thing that could have happened for me, as I was 3 miles from the finish when the tragedy happened. I heard nothing, and no one told me anything. But a curious thing occurred. About a half-mile from the finish, as I was approaching the Mass. Ave underpass, I saw ahead of me a number of spectators on the course, and people running all around. I wondered why the police were allowing this, as the security to protect the course from the spectators is very tight as you come into the city. Like an idiot, I tried to run around these people. I had to get to the finish and knew nothing of what had happened. At last, 2 runners stopped me and yelled, You have to stop. The race is cancelled. There were explosions and no one can approach the finish line! If you have ever run the marathon, you know that late in the race you lose the ability to think rationally. I couldnt process this at all, and my first thought was that someone had pulled a prank, or there was a firecracker or smoke bomb and people were overreacting. But as I mingled with all the other runners who had been stopped, very slowly the news got pieced together. Oh no, how could this have happened? Those poor people. Im on my way home as I write this, and all through last night and today, those of us who escaped harm shared similar stories. I ran the race of my life and finished just a few minutes ahead of the explosions. My wife went back to the hotel to get me a jacket, or she would have been right there, and so on. But my story is a bit different. I know it sounds crazy, but Id rather believe that on Monday Joe was still watching out for us. Joe, youre now part of the Boston course, both physically and spiritually. Rest in peace, and thank you, Joe.

Ruth Harris
Ruth Myrl Harris, a resident of Pilgrim Place, died on April 7, 2013. She was 92. The oldest child of Ross and Esther Cole, Ms. Harris was born on June 9, 1920 in a small rural town in northeast Nebraska. She was especially inspired by the strength of her grandmother Clara and her mother Esther, who raised 5 children after their father left at the time of the l929 crash. Ms. Harris graduated from Morningside College in Sioux City, Iowa and worked as a teacher and community music leader. Two influences shaped Ms. Harris profound commitment to justice. The first was her experience as missionary teacher in China, under the auspices of the Womans Division of the Methodist Board of Missions. Teaching choral music in a girls school in Shanghai, she was moved by the idealism of her students. For 2 years before and 2 years after the Chinese Revolution of October 1, 1949, she saw the peoples oppressive poverty and the need for radical change. Doris Rhoades counted Ms. Harris as one of her oldest friends. They met in missionary training and went to China, arriving in February of 1947. At language school. Ms. Harris was a quick study in Mandarin and tutored Ms. Rhoades, who attributed her friends skill in language to her background in music. China, along with lots of other countries in Asia, was badly damaged and hurt by the war. The people were so needy on all fronts: education, food, housing and jobs, Ms. Rhoades said. In those days, we talked about helping to rebuild the country. Ms. Rhoades was a social worker in a village 2 hours east of Shanghai. From time to time, Ms. Harris would take some of her students by train to the countryside where Ms. Rhoades worked, and Ms. Rhoades occasionally visited Ms. Harris in Shanghai. One of the most thrilling things for me was to see the big choirs Ruth had in China, Ms. Rhoades said. She did a beautiful job teaching music, and she was very loved by the students. The 2 friends reluctantly left China in 1951, when Americans were asked to leave as the Korean War had begun. Ms. Rhoades later worked in Hong Kong, where she would stay for 26 years, while Ms. Harris remained to work in the States. They stayed in touch and were reunited at Pilgrim Place. The other major influence in Ms. Harris sense of justice was her participation in the Civil Rights Movement. She took part in the march from Selma and helped with logistical organizing behind the scenes, as she brought students to Alabama. Later, she supported students in the sit-ins as an advocate in the Methodist Church for their antiracist cause. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was always one of her heroes, and Ms. Harris was thrilled to be present with a student delegation for the March on
OBITUARIES
of the Church Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines; helping found and advise the Womens Commission of the World Student Christian Federation; and serving on the WSCF Executive Committee and the WSCF Trustees in the USA. A major achievement was collaborating with 16 other women on the book Journeys That Opened Up the World: Women, Student Christian Movements, and Social Justice, 195575. The book was launched at an event in New York City in November 2003 honoring Ms. Harris for her passion for justice. Eleanor Scott Meyers, a Pilgrim Place resident and one of the women featured in Journeys That Opened Up the World, emphasized that the book would not have been written had Ms. Harris not been there to tap into the extensive network of women activists that she had cultivated over the years. She had a lot of courage and determination for justice, Ms. Meyers said. Thats just who she was. Ms. Harris came to Pilgrim Place in Claremont, California in December 2000. She sang in the Chorale, helped start the Peace Vigil Committee, assisted at the Pilgrim Festival and enjoyed the stimulating life of Claremont. Due to declining health, she had to spend the last 2-and-a-quarter years in the Health Services Center, where she brightened lives around her with her radiant smile and quiet friendliness. In New York, Ms. Harris was a member of Judson Memorial Church and in Claremont she attended the United Methodist Church, but she was always broadly ecumenical. Former Mission Intern Kevin Uchida wrote: Few people have the courage to burn so brightly for so long, and my inclination is to laugh rather than cry for Ruth at the end of this tremendous journey. Thousands of young people, now leaders in the United States and various parts of the world, have caught fire from Ms. Harris. Ms. Harris is survived by Pat Patterson, her co-worker and partner of 42 years; by Doris Caldwell Rhoades, her China colleague and friend of 67 years; by her sister and brother-in-law, Elizabeth and Derald May of Phoenix; and by her brother and sister-in-law, Guy and Vikki Harris of Des Moines. She is beloved of her nephews and nieces, Catherine, Roxanna, Michael and Philip, and Mark, Rebecca, James, and Kathe and their partners, as well as 18 greats and grands. A memorial service for Ms. Harris will be held at Pilgrim Places Decker Hall on Sunday, April 28 at 3:30 p.m., followed by a reception at Napier Center. Memorial gifts may be sent to the Ruth Harris Fund for Womens Leadership, c/o Jorge Domingues, WSCF, 475 Riverside Dr., New York, NY 10115, or to Pilgrim Place Health Services Center, 625 Mayflower Rd., Claremont, CA 91711.

After returning from China, she studied at the Westminster Choir College in Princeton, New Jersey, singing with the New York Philharmonic and experiencing the extraordinary gifts of Robert Shaw in a summer event at Northwestern. In l967, she got a masters degree in International Education from Columbia University. Meanwhile, Ms. Harris led seminars on international affairs at the United Nations during 1952-54. She worked in 1954-59 as the national Field Program Director for the Student Volunteer Movement and National Student Christian Federation, helping organize 2 major ecumenical and international conferences in Athens, Ohio in 1955 and 1959. Annie Wu King first met Ms. Harris as a teenager in Shanghai where they both sang The Messiah at Christmastime in the citywide chorus. Ms. King fled from China to Hong Kong in 1956, living for 2 years as a refugee before she began attending the University of Pennsylvania. Ms. Harris invited her to a weeklong symposium in New York City, sponsored by the National Student Christian Federation; it was perfect timing. Having experienced the abject poverty of the Chinese people and refugees in Hong Kong, Ms. King was feeling depressed living in a country where the economy was booming and people seemed unconcerned about suffering elsewhere in the world. Ms. King was exposed to speakers who were passionate about effecting positive change across the globe. Ms. Harris involved Ms. King in the board of the National Student Christian Federation, a post for which she traveled from Philadelphia to New York once a year. There, I met people who were really concerned about what was going on in the world, not just what football game was going on, Ms. King said. I was very much impressed and very much changed. I owe this transformation in my life to Ruth. Ms. King was very happy to meet up with her mentor once again at Pilgrim Place, as was another friend, Paul Minus. Mr. Minus met Ms. Harris when he was an undergraduate at Yale and serving on the board of the Student Volunteer Movement, where she was an organizer. I remember she had been on the staff only a few weeks when, at our spring board meeting, she sang a beautiful solo that I was very moved by. It became kind of a bonding event, he said. Later, Mr. Minus worked with Ms. Harris in planning and implementing the 2 world conferences in Ohio. What was unique was that for the first time, they brought together an equal number of US students and students from overseas who were studying in the United States, he recalled. The former pattern had been that westernersthe missionaries sent to Asia,
Africa and Latin America from Europe and North Americadominated everything. It was clear that, with the Christian churches growing in all those former mission areas, it was a new day of partnerships where we all had responsibility for the churchs mission in the world. Ruth was a wonderful person to implement that new vision of global Christianity, he continued. She had an amazing knack for making contact with the hearts and minds of people. She had a great combination of vision and practicality, and so that combination helped her to communicate her global ideals and visions to help them find legs. Next, Ms. Harris became National Secretary for Student Work of the Womans Division, but was then called in 1965 by the Board of Missions to become the first executive secretary for University World, a fully international portfolio. She worked with students and faculty through churches, universities, student movements, and the World Student Christian Federation during a period of decolonization and massive challenge. She also shared leadership with Presbyterians and others in the Frontier Internship in Mission Program, an ecumenical program involving young people in critical global issues. Other assignments followed within the World Division to coordinate the Quadrennial Emphasis 1969-72 and then 5 years as Assistant General Secretary for Development and Planning. For the remainder of her career, 1977-90, she traveled the world as Executive Secretary for Global Justice. This involved working with poor peoples movements, urban/rural missions, human rights, anti-war struggles and womens rights as well as furthering leadership of students and young adults. Highlights included chairing Agricultural Missions and the NCCCUSA Committee on Human Rights; helping initiate and direct the Mission Intern Program; serving for 10 years as chair

Betty Carson
Loving mother and grandmother, people person
Betty Carson, a former Claremont resident, died Saturday, March 30, 2013. She was 93. Ms. Carson was the first-born child of Jeannette McMullen and Clyde Jackson. Born on May 1, 1919, at the end of WWI, she grew up in San Bernardino with her younger brother Paul and learned about hard work and faithful perseverance from her parents. Her father worked for the Santa Fe Railroad, and her mother worked in their home, sewing clothes for the family and gardening to help put food on the table. When Ms. Carson was very young, her maternal grandmother moved into the Jackson home, where the 2 shared a room. That experience was not an easy one for her, but it caused her to develop acceptance for whatever life would bring her way. In 1936, Ms. Carson graduated from San Bernardino High School and then married Bill Carson in 1938. Two children were soon a part of the Carson family: Bob, born in 1940, and Paula Jean, born in 1944. In January of 1945, Ms. Carsons husband was drafted into the Navy leaving her the task of raising their 2 young ones alone. During WWII, Mr. Carson was stationed on a troop transport ship headquartered in the Philippines and took part in League games, serving as president of the PTA and serving on the Pomona Unified School District Board of Education for 17 years. Sundays were always special because they started with services at Pomona First Baptist Church, where the Carsons were active members, and then highlighted at dinner time by Ms. Carsons homecooked meals, as her husband always called them. Ms. Carson lived over 40 years in Pomona and, in 1995, moved to Claremont where she lived until 2010. Once her children were grown, she delighted in being a grandparent and when her grandsons had their own children they called her GG, short for great-grandmother. Ms. Carson stayed active by playing bridge 3 times a week and always enjoyed the challenge of a good crossword puzzle. She served as president to the Mariners Sunday school class for several years in her late 80s. She had worked through the years at Hiatts Dress Shop, The Dog Pound, The Post Office, the Los Angeles County Fairgrounds and a number of banks. Three years ago, Ms. Carson moved to Tustin where she spent her final years receiving care in a residential-living facility. A few weeks before she died, in a direct style she was known for, she looked
OBITUARIES
at her daughter, Paula and said, I quit! And indeed she did. She quit this life, having lived it well, and went directly to the arms of Jesus her Lord and her new life with Him, her daughter said. Family noted that Ms. Carson was known by all for her great sense of humor, her enjoyment of everyone around her, her light-hearted indulgence in tacos and Crispy Creme donuts and her delight in being called Boomer by her son, Bob. Ms. Carson is survivied by her 2 children and their spouses, Bob Carson (and Wendy, who died in 2008) of Claremont; and Paula (and George) Munzing of Orange. She is also survived by 2 grandsons and their families: Ross, Nicole, Ty and Bree Carson of Aliso Viejo; Scott, Jen, Jack and Ryan Carson of Chandler, Arizona. Her niece, Paulette Cappiello of Bothell, Washington. And her adopted son: Deepak Ubahaykar and his wife Asha. A graveside celebration for Ms. Carson will be held tomorrow, Saturday, April 20 at 11 a.m. at the Mt. View Cemetery in San Bernardino, followed by a reception. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Forest Home Conference Center, 40000 Valley of the Falls Drive, Forest Falls, California 92339.
returning freed prisoners to the states. His love for Ms. Carson and his children is evidenced by the over 70 letters he wrote home during his time serving in the Navy. In February of 1946 he was honorably discharged. Upon his return home, Mr. Carson was employed by Blue Seal Laundry and the Carsons soon settled into their first home on Towne Avenue in Pomona. In the years that followed, Ms. Carson was an involved mother, attending Little

Spring brings butterflies, bumble bees and bookworms
t is difficult to stand out in the midst of all things unique, but the Friends of the Claremont Library bookstore prides itself on being able to do regardless. Located in the foyer of the Claremont public library, this bookstore offers a variety of used books at low prices to keep the tradition of reading tangible hardcover and paperback books alive in Claremont.
Friends of the Claremont Library is an organization that offers volunteer and financial support to enable projects that benefit the public library and are not paid for by the county. This includes dealing with incoming book donations, organizing book sales, manning the library bookstore, and most recently, redecorating an reorganizing the childrens section of the public library. Lanore Pearlman, President-elect of the Friends of the Claremont Library and Co-Chair of On The Same Page project, shares her love of books as she discusses the functions of the bookstore and the upcoming books sale. Ms. Pearlman became a Friend of the Claremont Library 2 years ago, after she was recruited at a book sale. It was her love of books, however, that sealed the deal. I love big books and I love little books, says Ms. Pearlman, who loves to admire the paper, photographs and prints that accompany a book. You miss that with electronics, she adds, as she recounts reading a book on her Kindle and not realizing it had pictures until she saw a physical copy of the text. Connie Rodriguez, volunteer for the Friends of the Claremont Library, was also recruited at a book sale. Its just a fun thing to doits very enjoyable, she says, inviting residents of Claremont to volunteer and share their love of books. Volunteering for the Friends can be fun whether you like to read or not, notes Charlie Rosenberg, a regular volunteer at the bookstore. I am not a book person, he says, and I dont read a lot. Mr. Rosenberg likes to volunteer because the people are fun, noting that he even found a golf partner at the library. Due to popularity of the bookstore, the 3-day book sale will feature a variety of genres, in both paperback and hardcover, from fiction to art to history. Ms. Pearlman invites children, students, seniors and book lovers to come and browse through the plethora of books that will be on sale. The Spring Book Sale will be held at the library today and tomorrow, Friday and Saturday, April 19 and 20 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff During a recent volunteer shift Claremont resident Connie Rodriguez organizes some of the hundreds of donated books that the Friends of the Claremont Library sells to raise money for the library. Ms. Rodriguez is a recently retired childrens center director and so she enjoys seeing the various childrens books that are donated.
The Friends believe that it is particularly important to target young patrons and integrate them in community projects and events. We hope to include the high school in all our projects, Ms. Pearlman says, as she shifts her focus away from book sales and towards a project aimed at bringing all citizens of Claremont together. The On The Same Page project is an on-going annual project where the Friends pick a student-appropriate and thought-provoking book that they hope all citizens of Claremont will read. This is followed by a series of events where the community comes to discuss the book and answer some of the questions it raises. This years selection is Take A Candle Light A Room by Susan Straight. Copies of the book will be available at the Spring book sale. Discussions and events will be held in early October of this year, giving Claremont enough time to read the book and ponder over it this summer. Ms. Pearlman discloses the reason books are still important today. Books are in-depth; they are something in your hand and you can take them anywherethey are beautiful.
The Claremont public library is located at 208 N. Harvard Ave., Claremont. The Friends of the Claremont Library can be reached by email at friendsofclaremont library@gmail.com, or by regular mail at PO Box 1618, Claremont, CA 91711. For more information, visit www.claremontlibrary.org.

Uncommon Good opens new earth-friendly headquarters
ncommon Goods new green headquarters will open its doors into the future on Saturday, April 20 during an Earth Day celebration.
The Whole Earth Building is the first of its kind and goes beyond the traditional dirt construction that most Super Adobe buildings are known for by using construction materials found onsite. In the end, the building was constructed with 85 percent of the materials coming from the land. Plants that are natural to the area were also used to reinforce the roof and decorate
the area to give back to the environment. We feel it is our obligation as people with conscience, Executive Director Nancy Mintie said. We feel a special urgency to take care of the environment to make sure there are enough resources to meet everyones needs. The building is 100 percent environmentally friendly including its carbon footprint. Within the next 10 years, the sequestered carbon will be equal to the amount of carbon released via construction. The concept and execution of construction was not easy. Being a nonprofit organization, Uncommon Good faced monetary and location obstacles
when first seeking to start construction because they did not have the means to purchase land. Thankfully, the Claremont United Methodist Church and Claremont School of Theology provided the land. When searching for funding, Uncommon Good went to different foundations that contribute to capital building projects and were turned down. It was not until a grant set aside to benefit a clean air project was brought up that they found funding. Uncommon Good argued that 40 percent of energy usage comes from buildings which cause air pollution. They received one of the clean air grants and along with a couple private family foundations they were able to break ground on earth day last year. Every part of the process had to be tested and proved to be safe under Los Angeles Building Codes for earthquake safety, fire safety and structure safety. We had to prove every step of the way that the building was safe, Ms. Mintie said. By getting this building approved we have now shown we can
now build these buildings anywhere in the world. The new headquarters was constructed by hundreds of volunteers that heard about the building and came to see how they could help. To thank those who volunteered their time, the names of the community members will be put on the monument sign. Ive come to realize that unless we can save our environment, were never going to be able to eliminate poverty, Ms. Mintie said. Unless we have enough resources to go around and share with everyone, someone is going to end up being poor. The opening will take place at 10 a.m. tomorrow, Saturday, April 20, at 211 W. Foothill Blvd., Claremont. For more information on the building or the opening celebration contact Uncommon Good at 625-2248 or visit their website at www.uncommongood.org.

CHS boys tennis continues to roll over the competition

The Wolfpack keep rolling in the Sierra League with another 2 victories. Claremont defeated Ayala last week 11-7, then beat South Hills 13-5. It is looking like first place is assured for the Pack, as they have 4 more league matches in the regular season. Claremont hosts Damien and then travels to Chino Hills this Friday, April 18 at 3:15 p.m. Next week, the Pack host Charter Oak on Tuesday, April 23 at 3:15 p.m. SWIMMING Claremonts varsity swimming squads competed at the Walnut Invitational on Friday and Saturday in a midseason individual test. The boys team made most of the headlines, with Dylan Tarazona finishing 2nd in the butterfly, and top 8 finishes from Luke Miller, Jacob Altree, and Sam Duran. The Pack have a dual meet at Charter Oak, and then host Ayala next Wednesday, April 24 at 3:15 p.m. BASEBALL It was a rough week for Claremont baseball, as the Pack dropped 2 league games and one tournament game. The Wolfpack were unable to manage any runs against both South Hills and Damien, losing 2-0 and 50 respectively. On Saturday, Claremont lost a Centennial Tourna-

ment game against Palm Desert, 5-2. The Pack are now 4-4 in the Sierra League, in a 3-way tie for 2nd place. Games against Damien and Chino Hills follow, with the Pack travelling to Chino Hills on Tuesday, April 23 at 3:30 p.m. to reverse their recent form. Kori Carter making a name in the college ranks Former Claremont High athlete turned Stanford track and field standout Kori Carter has recently been added to the womens watch list for the Bowerman Trophy, college tracks highest honor. Carter earned her place on the watch list after breaking her own Stanford record in the 400-meter hurdles at the Jim Click Shootout meet by 3 seconds. Her time of 54.71 was also the fastest race run this year by any athlete. Carters performance is good enough to potentially place her on the US Olympic team.

Damien and St. Lucys out of Sierra League
amien and St. Lucys high schools lost their appeal last Wednesday to stay put in the Sierra League for all sports.
The CIF executive committee outvoted representatives from the single-gender schools, 14-6, and Damien and St. Lucys will be forced to move into a parochial league for the 2014-15 sports season. School representatives say that this is unfair; that the league targeted the only 2 Catholic schools be-
cause they thought Damien and St. Lucys somehow had an unfair advantage in the sports arena. What impact this will have on the CHS sports program is unknown. Claremont softball Coach Vince Hernandez commented on the decision. The decision wont really affect us, as we are pretty even with the St. Lucys team, he said. It all depends on whether they replace that team with another. It is a strange move, I didnt see anything wrong with them being in our division; however, they are strong at other sports so it may mean more wins for CHS teams.

CHS softball drops league game to big-hitting Chino Hills
t was another tough day for the Lady Wolfpack as they took on the Chino Hills Huskies Tuesday. After dropping a close one to St. Lucys, 3-1 last Thursday, Claremont hosted the first place Huskies at home. The Pack allowed Chino Hills to score 4 runs in the third inning and were not able to recover, losing 7-2.
Claremont Coach Vince Hernandez reflected on the year thus far. We have made huge strides since last year. Our defense has been solid, but I always say that we can hit better. I will keep working with the girls on their mechanics and we will do our best to turn this thing around. Chloe Amarilla took the mound for the Wolfpack, matched up against the Huskies Patricia Parks. Amarilla settled into the game quickly, getting out of the first frame without any damage done. However, Chino Hills hitting picked up in the second and third innings. The Huskies trio of Brittney Garcia, Melissa Garcia, and Brianna Viles each knocked in a run, and Brianna Viles added an RBI single to push Chino Hills out in front 5-0.
COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff Claremont High School base runner Alexis Solis grabs on to Chino Hills Tannon Snows foot so she wont over slide second base on Tuesday during girls varsity softball action at CHS. Solis was called safe on the play but was not able to score and the Pack eventually lost by a score of 7-2.
Claremont responded in the bottom half of the third when second baseman Kiana Moreno knocked a base hit to center, and moved to second base after an Amarilla single. Catcher Brittany Attaway then took a low fastball and drove it into the outfield to bring Moreno home, and put the Wolfpack on the scoreboard. Melanie Lauer took over on the
mound for Claremont, and pitched 3 scoreless innings. Amarilla had previously struck out 3 batters, but allowed 6 hits and 3 walks. Meanwhile, for Chino Hills, Parks put together a 5-strikeout, 5hit performance before being replaced by Savanna Corr in the fifth inning. Corr threw 2 scoreless innings, getting out of a jam with 2 runners on base. We had a few mistakes here and there,
but we hit the ball well today, Coach Hernandez said. We just couldnt hit the ball well with runners on base. But I have faith that it will start coming around. CHS scored a consolation run in the bottom of the final inning. With 2 out, Amarilla singled through the infield, then stole second base. Attaway came up to bat and pulled a single into right field, Amarilla coming around to score. Unfortunately, Claremont could not muster any more runs and fell to their second league defeat. Claremont will play 7 more league games this season, and they need to win the majority of those in order to make the CIF playoffs. The Lady Wolfpack have a lot of work to do to reach the postseason, starting with games against Charter Oak and the 12-4 South Hills Huskies. Claremonts next home game is against Ayala on Tuesday, April 23 at 3:30 p.m. I have 4 solid pitchers that I feel confident I can start, so I will keep rotating them, Coach Hernandez said. Our defense I am not worried about, we will just have to make a few adjustments in positioning to minimize mistakes. Our program is moving forward rapidly, and the girls are always excited to compete.

Rare sour beers to celebrate second anniversary
On Sunday, April 21 Eureka Claremont will be turning 2 years old. A mini beer fest will be held including live music, happy hour specials and special beer prices. In honor of the second year anniversary, Eureka will be holding a mini Sour Beer Festival. Sour beer is a beer style characterized by an intentionally acidic, tart, sour taste. The most common styles that are soured are Belgian lambics, gueezes and flanders red ale. The sour taste is sometimes achieved by adding fruit, usually cherries or raspberries, during the aging process to cause a secondary fermentation. Some rare sour beers including, New Belgian's Frambozen Raspberry Brown Ale, Russian River's Consecration, Karl Strauss' Twenty-fourth Anniversary Ale and more will be on tap on Sunday. There will be live music performed by the Trey Tosh Band at 8 p.m., as well as $3 pints of Dale Bros. Pomona Queen and Claremont Craft Ales Jacaranda Rye IPA from 8 p.m. to midnight. The restaurant first opened in Claremont in April of 2011the location seemed like a great spot to attract local beer geeks, gourmet burger connoisseurs and all the whiskey business in town. In a prime spot at The Packing House, the largest historic building in Claremont with some of the most popular attractions, Eureka expected to attract the Claremont College students, as well as local residents. Two years later, the outcome has exceeded expectations. Eureka aims to provide a hip, trendy ambiance for all ages. The craft beer and bourbon bar is staffed by cicerone certified bartenders who provide hand crafted speakeasy-style cocktails, as well as 30 craft beers daily. Specials include wine Tuesdays, Steal the Glass Wednesdays and live music Thursdays, as well a daily "Hoppy Hour" all week long. Eureka Claremont is located in The Packing House at 580 W.

The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. 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)730-2727 or visit the Internet Web Site WWW.LPSASAP.COM using the file number assigned to this case 1377208-31. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web Site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. FOR SALES INFORMATION: (714)7302727 CAL-WESTERN RECONVEYANCE CORPORATION 525 EAST MAIN STREET P.O.

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 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.
