Dear Editor:
I want to thank Cantor Paul Buch of
Temple Beth Israel for sharing his insightful and ethical understanding of the
special relationship shared by Jews and
Muslims in the November 14 issue of the
COURIER.
As a fellow Jew, I have been distressed
by the sometimes extreme anti-Muslim
sentiment voiced by some of my supposed coreligionists. For reasons I do not
understand, too many of my fellow Jews
refuse to accept the teachings of Amos,
when he reminds us (9:7): Are you not
as the sons of Ethiopia, oh children of Israel, which emphasizes the idea that we
and they are the same; that they, too, are
as the children of Israel?
I also cannot understand why so many
of my fellow Jews, when it comes to
dealing with relations between Muslims
and Jews, do not try to adhere to the lesson of our foremost prophet Isaiah when
he reminds us to Come, let us reason together.
I applaud the activities of Temple Beth
Israel in participating in such events as the
annual Interfaith Walk for Peace, which
includes visits not only to TBI and local
Christian churches, but also to our local
Islamic Study Center.

I am hopeful that the newly-elected
President of Israel, Reuven Rivlin, who
appears to have a more realistic understanding of the acceptable role of Muslims in relation to Israel, will help bring
about a greater effort at working together
with the Muslims, whose basic rights he
seems to acknowledge.
We have experienced for too long the
hateful and spiteful policies of Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which
have served only to encourage the ongoing dissension.
I thank Cantor Buch and President
Rivlin for their acceptance of the idea, as
expressed in the Cantors essay, for their
desire for the reconnection of our two
(and including Christians, three) separated
peoples if not in complete harmony, then
at least in dialogue and mutual respect.
It is important that we remember that
Jews must learn the ways of peace, even
when it is so difficult. Cantor Buchs
essay will serve to help us continue in this
direction.
As is said by Jews of good intent when
ending letters or conversations,
BShalom, or With Peace.

Claremont students protest decision in Ferguson
tudents from the Claremont Colleges took to the

streets in solidarity on
Tuesday during a march in
protest of a decision not to indict
a Ferguson, Missouri police officer for the shooting death of an
unarmed black teen.
The peaceful demonstration was just
one of many held around the country in
response to the grand jurys finding that
there was no probable cause to indict officer Darren Wilson, who shot and killed
18-year-old Michael Brown on August 9,
2014.
Claremont students, faculty and community members were invited via Facebook and word-of-mouth to meet in front
of the Claremont Colleges Honnold
Mudd Library, where they made signs
and spoke of the significance of the
event. Many of those students peacefully
left class to join their peers as they
marched through the colleges and the
Village, chanting Hands up, dont
shoot before assembling at Claremont
City Hall.
Emily Carpenter, a Pomona College
sophomore, was one of more than a
dozen students who spoke before the
large crowd outside city hall, sharing her
grief and searching for a space to heal.
The words spoken by the 20-year-old
were poignant and resonated with the
more than 400 people gathered before
barricades and a handful of police at the
buildings entrance.
My heart is very, very heavy. I am so
exhausted. Ive been crying every day,
said Ms. Carpenter as she stood before
the crowd. I cry because I know that I
have to tell my son or daughter that they
dont matter in this country, that they can
be shot and the police officer will be let
off. I cry because we have to be walked
up and down, like cattle. I cry because
they are afraid to let us walk down the
street and really show our anger. I cry because we have to protect the f**king

have to wait for the police to tell us when

which is supporting and enhancing the

wellbeing of undergraduate and graduate
students of African descent.
Jon Gary, acting assistant dean of the
OBSA, was present at city hall and
served as support for the students during
the demonstration.
That wasnt a speech, she was just
talking from her heart, said Mr. Gary of
Ms. Carpenter. That was unrehearsed.
That was her.
City Manager Tony Ramos stood
alongside Claremont police just outside
the main entrance to city hall. In a town
that values public opinion, he wasnt surprised by the peaceful demonstration.
This is the fabric of our community,
that these individuals are allowed in a
community like Claremont to be able to
have their voice be heard. Whether you
agree or disagree with the verdict, its
their right.
Following city hall, protestors
marched down Bonita Avenue, escorted
by Campus Safety, to the Claremont Police Station where they held stage for
about an hour. People of all colors and
backgrounds spoke passionately about
the movement and snapped in unison to
support those who shared their stories.
Justin Dixon, a 31-year-old Pitzer College student, participated in Tuesdays
demonstration upon request from organizers who were looking for creative ways
to spread the word.
We wanted to set a tone with certain
actions to help everyone stay focused, to
send their message with peace being
used as an example of how to govern the
masses, explained Mr. Dixon.
This implicates all of us. Its not just
the colleges that need great diversity, its
also the city and quite frankly the upper-
class. Without this type of balance, its

going to be very difficult to convince
people with this disposition, he says. If
a police state is implemented, its going
to be everyones problem and nobody
wants that.
This isnt the first time Claremonters
have rallied in response to claims of a
racially-charged police shooting.
In January 1999, two Claremont police officers fatally wounded 18-year-old
Irvin Landrum Jr., who was shot three
times in the neck, chest and ankle during
a routine traffic stop. One of the officers
involved told the investigators the shooting was in self-defense after Mr. Landrum pulled a .45 caliber pistol from his
waistband and fired first. However, a
subsequent investigation by the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department
showed that the gun the teen allegedly
used was never fired and bore no fingerprints.
I was 16 when Irvin Landrum Jr. was
shot on Base Line Road, said Mr.
Dixon, a Claremont native. This
African-American male was shot and
killed in my own community. There were
many shots fired. There was some peculiar details about the evidence.
An independent investigation of the
shooting by the LA County Sheriffs Department and subsequent review by the
LA County District Attorney found no
evidence of criminal wrongdoing by the
two Claremont officers.
As an African-American male, I do
feel uncomfortable around police, regardless of what Ive done, says Mr.
Dixon. It makes sense that [the police]
would want to approach every situation
like their life is on the line, but that is not

By unanimous vote, council approves next step with water
he Claremont City Council unanimously adopted two resolutions of

necessity during a public hearing on
Tuesday evening, authorizing CITY
the citys proposed acquisition COUNCIL
of Golden State Water Companys Claremont water system by eminent domain to
move forward.
Two resolutions of necessity were prepared for the
councils consideration; one governing the interests of
the Claremont system located within the city, and a second for the small portions of the water system located
outside of the city in parts of Montclair, Upland and

Pomona as well as a small, unincorporated area of Los
Angeles County.
Special council Ken MacVey, Paeter Garcia and John
Halloway from Best, Best & Krieger were on hand to
explain the nature and scope of the public hearing and
to answer any questions brought forth by the council.
There are certain findings that have to be addressed
in the resolutions of necessity to be considered, explained Mr. MacVey. The first finding has to do with
whether the public interest and necessity require the
project. The second finding is whether the proposed
project is planned or located in a manner most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private
injury. The third finding is whether the property to be
acquired is necessary for the proposed project. And the

fourth finding relates to whether the offer required
under the government code section 7267.2 [offer of just
compensation] has been made.
After the city clerk confirmed a proof of mailing for
the hearing, City Manager Tony Ramos provided some
history and background on the process and demonstrated how each of the findings brought forth by Mr.
MacVey had been fulfilled by the city.
Those with an interest in the property were then
given the opportunity to respond.
As promised, Golden State Water delivered a representative to the public hearing following their written
request to be heard. Attorney George Soneff with

always the case. Theres a propensity to be intimidated by a black male. These officers come off as
being defensive. There needs to be accountability
somewhere.
The purpose of Tuesdays march in Claremont
was to engage students and the community in a
peace action and generate awareness of what is
happening in Ferguson.
Racial divide extends beyond Ferguson, and the
African-American community.
According to Mr. Dixon, its a major comment on
how our civil rights are a gross misinterpretation
of the law and becoming lethalfor people of all
colors.
I want the police to feel these movements were
effective, Mr. Dixon said. I want them to think
twice before they pull the trigger, not try to sweep
under the rug the life of another person who is part
of a community.
The Claremont Colleges has an extensive system
available to students seeking support following the
Ferguson grand jury decision. The OBSA, Chicano/Latino Affairs, the Inter-faith Chaplains Office,
Monsour Counseling and Psychological Services as
well as faculty and staff from each of the colleges
are available.

Hundreds of Colleges students gathered in front of city hall to protest the decision.
POLICE BLOTTER
Monday, November 17
Its a dirty job but someones gotta do
it. A Claremont officer responded to a
call of a suspicious subject near Norms
restaurant located at 801 S. Indian Hill
Boulevard. The officer located Joseph
Gugino in a nearby bush, covering his
eyes with a shirt over his head, near the
freeway off-ramp. When the officer
asked the 38-year-old man what he was
doing, he responded, I have a poopy in
my butt, according to police. The officer
put on some rubber gloves and escorted
the San Dimas resident out of the bushes.
Further investigation revealed that Mr.
Gugino was under the influence of a controlled substance and he was arrested. He
was released the following day on
$2,500 bail.
Wednesday, November 19
What was thought to be trash turned
out to be a treasure in the yard of a Claremont resident. A homeowner on the 900
block of Marymount Lane first noticed
the white bag in her side-yard earlier in
the week but assumed it was a white
plastic bag and left it alone. It wasnt

until a few days later when she was
doing yard work that she discovered the
bag was actually a pillowcase filled with
jewelry including over 50 pairs of earrings, 10 ladies watches, 15 pearl necklaces, five bracelets and five colored
necklaces. Most of the items are thought
to be costume jewelry but have been
logged with the Claremont Police Department as found property.

Thieves know no boundaries are they
have now tainted one of the most loved
places in Claremont. Unknown suspects
broke into at least four vehicles at Evey
Canyon, using an unknown weapon to
smash the windows in order to gain access to the vehicles trunks. Each of the
victims had their purses, wallets, credit
cards, California drivers licenses and
cash stolen sometime between 8:45 and
10:30 a.m. Some of the victims located
their purses down a nearby embankment
although their contents were removed.
Saturday, November 22
Evey Canyon thieves struck again between 6:30 and 7:30 a.m., this time
breaking the windows of three vehicles
and taking the victims purse, wallet,
passport, credit cards, coin purse,
makeup, keys, gift cards. The unknown
suspects remain at large.

Although membership has its privileges, access to the offices at the Claremont Club isnt one of them. According
to Lieutenant Mike Ciszek, a briefcase
containing $1,300 cash, a wallet, an iPad,
credit cards, a spare BMW key, a house
key and eyeglasses was left unattended
in an unlocked office at the Club when a
suspect stole it. The crime occurred
around 9:15 a.m. and the property loss is
valued at $1,700.

A Pomona man was arrested following a pursuit by Claremont police.
Around 9:35 p.m., officers coming to a
stop at Indian Hill and Foothill Boulevards observed a 2006 Honda Accord
run a red light at approximately 70 mph.
The police conducted a traffic stop of the
vehicle at Foothill and Towne Avenues
during which the driver, Aaron Chandler,

exited the vehicle and instructed officers
to shoot him before re-entering the car
and driving southbound on Towne Avenue. A pursuit ensued, leading police to
the home of the 24-year-old suspect,
where he pulled into the driveway and
exited the car yet again.
Officers instructed the Pomona resident to lay on the ground, but he refused
and told officers to just f**king shoot
me. According to Mr. Chandlers statement to police, he had been arguing with
his passenger, 22-year-old Itzel Estrada,
when he ran the red light. He told police
that when they were pointing a gun at
him, he knew he should get on the
ground but was like, I aint gonna. He
reportedly told police he was angry at the
world and that he didnt care if he died or
hurt anyone else. Mr. Chandler was arrested for the pursuit and resisting an officer. He remains in custody at Twin
Towers Correctional Facility in downtown LA and held on $100,000 bail with
a court hearing scheduled for January 6,
2015. Ms. Estrada of Fullerton was arrested for public intoxication.

EDUCATION
New CUSD report cards raises concerns, puzzle parents
t is the end of the first trimester in the

first year of Common Core implementation. Report cards went out on Friday,
gauging how students are mastering the new
standards and how schools are doing at imparting them.
The Claremont Unified School District is having some
growing pains when it comes to this next stage of the transition to the Common Core. Some teachers say the nearly
two-page report cards pose a challenge for instructors to
complete and parents to decipher.
At last Thursdays school board meeting, Sycamore Elementary School teacher Lisa Schuster took to the
podium during public comment to discuss what she considers a difficult assessment method. The report cards,
which she saw for the first time a little more than two
weeks before they were to be issued, represented a daunting amount of work, she said.
Teachers were asked to fill in more than 70 individual
boxes per report card addressing various areas of subject
mastery. Multiply that number by 34 students and she
found herself with some 2,380 boxes to fill, along with
the personalized comments she leaves elaborating on individual performance.
Ms. Schuster noted her task was complicated by
Sycamores traditional inter-grade model. She teaches
fourth, fifth and sixth graders simultaneously, and assesses
each age group somewhat differently.
As a professional educator, I feel it is my duty to have
evidence for every mark I place on a permanent record of
a students progress, she said.
The potential shortcut of skipping certain boxes alto-
I personally find that this format, where

you have so many different checks and
different places to mark, really isnt a
good tool to communicate with parents.

gether was not an option because under the report cards

guidelines, an empty box indicates proficiency.
While noting that Sycamore principal Amy Stanger has
been responsive to her staffs concerns, Ms. Schuster said
she wished she had more time for the unfamiliar grading
process.
How can I fill out this form with integrity when I am
given the task of supporting my choices with evidence for
marks in over 2,000 boxes in a two-week time span? she
said. I feel very uncomfortable to have been put in this
position. I am exhausted, and I know I am not alone in
my feelings.
Joe Tonan, a Sumner Elementary School teacher and
past president of the Claremont Faculty Association,
echoed Ms. Schusters concerns.
The free software program the district opted to use to
create its report cards was clunky, he said.
It took him longer than usual to submit his grades, but
Mr. Tonan said his concerns stemmed more from the fact

as a way for students, faculty and other members
of the CUSD community to get together before the
start of the Thanksgiving holiday.

School. San Antonio principal Sean Delgado remarked that office manager Ana
Avilez largely organized the dinner and
that the staff feeds more than 150 people.
that teachers had no idea, as they dove into the school

year, what would be included in their student assessments.
For instance, he found himself at a loss as to how to
measure whether a student had demonstrated ethical use
of technology, a category of learning for which the district currently has no rubric. He was also chagrined to be
asked to distinguish between students mastery of fiction
reading and comprehension from how well they get nonfiction.
The worst aspect of this years report cards is parents
are having trouble decoding them, Mr. Tonan said in a
phone interview this Tuesday.
I personally find that this format, where you have so
many different checks and different places to mark, really
isnt a good tool to communicate with parents, he said.
I have shared the whole report card, going through all
the different parts of it and all the different marks on it
and, at the end, the parent asks, So how is my child
doing? If theyre asking that question, I dont think the
current format does a good job of communicating to parents.
Mr. Tonan stressed that Common Core assessment is a
work in progress. And, throughout the past months, school
board members and district personnel have adopted a pardon-our-progress position, praising schools and teachers
for gamely striving to make changes while flying blind.
On November 25, the teachers were given a survey
about the report cards. Mr. Tonan said he is gratified they
were able to share their feedback.
A committee made up of teachers has been formed,
and will look at the report card to see if we can come up
with a better product this year, he said.

Thinking of thanks
by Mellissa Martinez
n the childrens book Did I Ever Tell

You How Lucky You Are?, Dr. Seuss
doles out some solid advice regarding
gratitude. An old man sitting on a cactus
tells a young boy, You ought to be thankful a whole heaping lot, for the places and
people youre lucky youre not!
He goes on to describe some pretty dire situations
like mowing fast-growing grass, painting flagpoles,
riding a camel with a loose saddle and living life as a
lost left sock. The message is clear...be thankful for
what you have and who you are, because both could
be worse.
I am grateful for many things this year. I am not sitting on a cactus and, although I possess many single
socks, I certainly dont feel like one. Gratitude,
Seuss suggests, is about being pleased with what you
have. The word comes from the Latin gratus, thankful or pleasing. This root also led to grace, which at
one time meant to thank. When we give thanks before a meal, it is referred to as saying grace and the

Secret Santa event to

provide gift of music
This year, the Claremont Community
College will host its 14th annual Secret

has played Santa to more than a thousand needy children since 2001. The
event includes presents, dinner, entertainment and a visit with St. Nick.
This year, the group has added something special and will provide 100 new
it meant; the act of thanking someone was considered

a show of being obliged or at ones mercy. This notion can be seen in the Portuguese thanks: obrigado,
obligated and the existing English expression,
much obliged.
This original sense is even present in our modern
thank you. Thank is derived from the Proto-Germanic word for think or thought, thankoz, which also
led to the Dutch dank and German danke. The evolution of think to thank comes from the following
custom: when someone did a good deed, it was customary to tell that person that you would remember
the deed. The response was generally, I will think of
you, which translates to I will remember what you
did. Eventually, I think of you became I thank you.
This year when you think of thanks, consider the
many lessons weve learned from dear Dr. Seuss. As
you put away dishes, snack on leftovers and enjoy
some time off of work, think of the man on the cactus
who says it best, Thank goodness for all of the things
you are not. Thank goodness youre not something

READERS COMMENTS
Keystone XL
Dear Editor:
In his letter (COURIER, November
21), Hayden Lening commented on the
rejection of the Keystone XL oil pipeline
by the Senate, calling the Senate Democrats the party of no.
A clever but mistaken move: the Republicans are the party of no because they
have, as a matter of party policy, rejected
almost everything President Obama has
proposed over the last two years for no
reason other than to prevent him from
having any achievements. When the Democrats intelligently vote no on a single
bill, Mr. Lening and the right try to misdirect our attention and use the label appropriate to their party.
And, contrary to Mr. Lening, the rejection of the pipeline is necessary for the
done and encouraging them to move
forward with the resolution of necessity.
Claremont resident Jim Belna addressed council, concerned they may be
confusing the resolution of necessity
was some sort of formality. Mr.
MacVey would later state the resolutions of necessity before the council
was never presented as such.
What you are about to do is something no other city has done before,
which is defend your resolution of necessity in a court of law because
Golden State Water has a statutory right
well-being of the country. Most importantly, both the mining and the refining of
tar sands oil will cause a huge increase in
atmospheric carbon, significantly increasing global warmingjust when we are
trying to get it under some control. While
rejection of the pipeline will not prevent
the extraction of the oil (that is Canadas
problem) this country can make it economically less feasible by rejecting the
pipeline and the refinery.
Moreover, the pipeline would be carrying the dirtiest, most corrosive oil on earth
across environmentally-sensitive areas.
Tar sands oil, because of its corrosive nature, causes vastly more pipeline leaks and
thus oil spills than even normal long-distance piping.
The system would bring virtually no oil
to the USthe line cuts across the US to
to take you into court and make you

demonstrate your findings, Mr. Belna
said. There is no case law that governs
this...You have no way of knowing
whether what youre doing is going to
be effective or not.
Theres no obvious necessity for
doing this, he continued. Its foolish
for Claremont to try and do this. Let
some other city with a better case, Ojai
or Apple Valley, go first. Let them set
the precedent. Why should we waste
hundreds of thousand, even millions, of
dollars chasing this?

matter came back to council before the
vote.

a refinery on the Gulf of Mexico from

where the refined oil will be shipped to
China. Guess who is funding the tar sands
project? China! In fact, the entire project
is not an American project but is for the
benefit of multinational oil interests.
And those jobs that Mr. Lening says we
will be losing? They probably amount to
just over 2500 construction jobs for two
yearsconstruction jobs that could be
created to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure. What about permanent jobs?
The best estimate is that the pipeline
would require a permanent work force of
35 (yes 35! Of course, we could employ
lots of people to clean up the oil spills.)
The project is a looming disaster for the
US and the Canadian province of Alberta
is already suffering environmental destruction. And it isnt dead yet: the President has not yet vetoed it. One can only
hope that will be the end of the matter.

Nasiali said. Theres a need for us. We

must do this. We must gain local control now and for future generations. The
drought just signifies we need to do it.
Following the councils adoption of
both resolutions, city staff reminded
residents that the California Public Utilities Commission will hold two public
hearings in Claremont on December 8
at Taylor Hall to accept public testimony on the proposed rate increase.
The hearings will be at 1 p.m. and 6
p.m.

Angela Bailey
Ambassador expounds on global issues at special service
ast Friday, Temple

Beth Israel held the
first event in its Brenda
Rosenfeld Shabbat Scholars
Series, which brings highly-regarded speakers to the temple.
The series has been launched in
memory of Ms. Rosenfeld, who died
earlier this year after a lifetime of commitment to tikkun olam, a Hebrew
phrase meaning healing the world.
Midway through a service marked by
song, community and prayer, Ms.
Rosenfelds brother, Edward Marks,
took to the podium.
Mr. Marks is an ambassador who has
spent his illustrious career in foreign relations and diplomacy. From 1976 to 1986,
he served as the US Ambassador to the
republics of Guinea-Bissau and Cape
Verde. He went on to become the State
Departments deputy coordinator for
counter-terrorism, followed by a tenure
as deputy chief of mission and charge
daffaires in Sri Lanka and deputy US
representative to the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations.
Mr. Marks hasnt slowed down much
since his retirement. He is a speaker and
a consultant in the areas of terrorism, interagency coordination, the United Nations and complex international emer-

gencies. He also recently co-authored a

book called US Government Counterterrorism: Who Does What.
In his talk, he managed to summarize
the worlds shifting political climate
since World War I, divided into three
acts, in less than an hour. But first he expressed his gratitude at being the inaugural speaker in a series devoted to Ms.
Rosenfeld.
The opportunity to be here is a gift

from my sister, he said.
He quipped that he felt a bit like
Teyve in Fiddler on the Roof, who in
the song If I Were a Rich Man fantasizes about expounding on the Torah
and the problems of the world as if he
really knew.
Jokes aside, he went on to demonstrate that he knows quite a lot.
His career has given him a long view

of global affairs, one which has led to a
few notes of pessimism. The USs attempts at nation-building in the Middle
East in recent years have been futile, despite a great toll in terms of blood and
money.
We made a really bad mistake, he
said, adding that we are still facing the
consequences. You cannot create
someone elses country.
He also holds little hope for a peaceable two-state solution between Israel
and Pakistan.
It looks highly unlikely at the moment and thats a tragedy and the problem because if that doesnt work, what
are the alternatives? I cant think of any
good solution, he said. There are six
to seven million Jews in Israel and some
six to seven million people in Palestine.
You have two people who want the
same piece of land.
Due to the United States waning
prosperity and international influence,
Mr. Marks said, Americans have to get
used to collaborating with other countries as opposed to calling the all the
shots.
Its hard for Americans to relinquish
the role of leader of the free world, he
said.
Weve always considered our counSHABBBAT SCHOLARS/next page

he Village was alive with the sound

of music on Sunday, November 23
as over 200 philanthropists and
supporters gathered for a groundbreaking
and fundraiser for the new Claremont Lincoln University Performance Stage at
Shelton Park.
For a $35 donation, guests dined on Baja fish tacos,

Gorgonzola burger sliders and Mediterranean salad provided by Bardot, participated in a silent and live auction, and enjoyed top-notch entertainment by the Bear
Brass Band on a perfect sunny autumnday.
Diana Miller, instrumental in the Shelton Park project, took to the microphone and thanked city staff, the
Claremont Chamber of Commerce, the Village Marketing Group and citizens of Claremont for making the
performance stage a reality.
This stage represents another in a series of projects
that our folks take to their hearts and support with their
contributions and hard work, said Ms. Miller. To
those of you who have given, we thank you and we look
forward to this stage being a space used by the Claremont community in perpetuity.
Pomona College President David Oxtoby echoed her
sentiments.
Its a great connection between town and gown, between the colleges and the community, said Mr. Oxtoby. Were so excited about this project. The stage,
when completed, will be a great opportunity for our students and our faculty to connect with the community as
well. Pomona College has had a deep and longstanding
commitment to the arts, and this will be a wonderful
continuation of that commitment in partnership with the

In October 2014, the Claremont City Council unanimously accepted a generous donation from Claremont
Lincoln University, adding to the major donations from
Pomona College and Claremont Community Foundation as well as donations from the
community, bringing the current
total to $261,026, very close to
the goal of $275,000.
David Lincoln, founding member of Claremont Lincoln University, also attended the event and
shared is enthusiasm with the audience.
Were the new kid on the
block and its an honor and privilege to be able to support something in the city of Claremont,
said Mr. Lincoln. We thank the
city and the Claremont Chamber
of Commerce for that. Its going
to be a very lovely stage.

try exceptional, he said. We can [still]

claim to be exceptional, but other nations dont need to be interested. We
have to make decisions about how we
view the world and how we behave,
he said.
Gone is the simple tug-of-war between two superpowers, the United
States and the USSR, that prevailed during the Cold War. You have new powers
developing, along with the growth of
cross-border terrorism.
One change creating anxiety among
Americans is the newest kid on the
block. China is most certainly rising as
a superpower, Mr. Marks said, and
every time a new superpower emerges,
the world can only wait and see how it

will behave.
Its a transformative time but, being a
big-picture thinker, Mr. Marks takes
many political uncertainties with a grain
of salt. When asked about the possibility
that Iran will acquire nuclear weapons,
he emphasized that it has not yet happened and that its an extensive process.
They are not suicidal, contrary to
popular belief, he said, adding that he
was frankly more concerned about the
potential actions of Pakistan, which already has nuclear weapons.
But things are less bleak than some
might think. Years ago, it was predicted
that nuclear proliferation would put
weapons of mass destruction in the
hands of countless nations. Thanks to
certificate of recognition.
With golden shovels in hand, David Lincoln, Eileen
Aranda, Laura Burgis, Corey Calaycay, Maureen
Aldridge, Joe Lyons and Paul Wheeler donned yellow
hardhats and broke ground at Shelton Park.
Following the official ceremony, performers from the
Inland Valley Repertory Theatre and Ophelias Jump
took to a temporary stage, providing guests with a preview of whats to come on the northeast corner of
Bonita and Harvard Avenues.
Its going to be a great, unprogrammed space where
you can play bongos, sing to your girlfriend or watch
college kids recite poetry, said lead architect Paul
Wheeler, who coordinated the project. Claremont is
blessed.
Construction is scheduled to begin early next year
and donations are still being accepted.
For $1000 or more, donors can have a brick with
their name engraved on it on the rise between the steps
up to the stage. For donations of less than $1000 but
more than $100, their name will be engraved on a brick
that will be on the ground of the park leading up to the
steps of the stage.

international policing, less than a dozen

countries have nuclear capacity, Mr.
Marks pointed out.
Its a worrisome time for Americans,
he conceded.
Weve got piracy and terrorism.
Sometimes it feels like were being nibbled to death by ducks, Mr. Marks
said. Disorder is winning.
The trick is for the country to learn to
withstand chaos by striking a balance
between isolationism and unfettered foreign intervention. He cited John F.
Kennedys famous quote, There is
nothing to fear but fear itself, and said
it is advice we should heed.
There are headaches and there is
danger, but there is no serious threat to
the continued existence of the United
Angela Bailey
States as we know it, he said.

Mr. Marks received resounding applause from guests. Cantor Paul Buch
was among those who said they found
his talk enlightening.
I thought that it was terrific, Mr.
Buch said.
We tend to look at things episodeby-episode or incident-by-incident, he
explained. Its always helpful to be reminded that none of this occurs outside
of a larger context.
There were some valuable takeaways
from what Mr. Buch called a very thorough and insightful overview.
If we hold on to an outmoded way
of thinking, we risk our future, he said.

OBITUARIES
Loving matriarch, librarian, Lakers fan

Longtime Claremont resident Mary
Elizabeth Briggs Blanchard died
peacefully in her sleep on November
18, 2014 at Mt. San Antonio Gardens
in Claremont. She was 105.
She was born in Valparaiso, Indiana
on October 5, 1909. She graduated
from DePauw University in 1931 and
later received an advanced degree in library science from the University of
Michigan in 1950. She married
William G. Doc Blanchard in 1932
and in 1936 they moved to Claremont
when Doc accepted a position as professor of music at Pomona College.
They had three children, William, Mildred and Margaret.
Mrs. Blanchard worked several
years as librarian at Honnold Library
and then as librarian at Claremont
High School for 18 years. When the
new high school was built, she was
very involved in the design of the new
circular library. She enjoyed many activities over the years: hosting family
gatherings, keeping up with her immediate and extended family, entertaining
college visitors, listening to music,
sewing, traveling, reading and following the Lakers. Every Christmas Eve,
for over 35 years, until Docs death in
1978, Mary Elizabeth welcomed
friends, relatives and Claremont residents into her home to sing Christmas
carols accompanied by Doc on the
three-manual Mller pipe organ that
had been installed in the home in 1941.
Mrs. Blanchard moved into Mt. San
Antonio Gardens in 1987 where, until
recently, she had been active in a variety of Gardens committees and activities. As her mobility declined, she was
blessed by frequent visits and phone
calls from family and friends. Most notably, Arlene Blanchard came regularly
for lunch; granddaughter Debbie
Nelsen brought supper once a week;
grandson Rusty Blanchard came each
weekend with his tablet computer to
amaze his grandmother with all it
could do; and Ray and Barbara Fowler
Marjean Shupe
Loving wife, mother and grandmother
Marjean Ferney Shupe, a longtime Claremont
resident, died peacefuly in her sleep on Saturday,
November 22, 2014. She was 76.
She was born Marjean Ferney on September 2,
1938 in Idaho Falls, Idaho.
In 1954, her cousin introduced her to a classmate from Utah State University named Merrill
Shupe. They hit it off immediately and in January
of 1959, they were married. The couple had two
daughters, Kathleen and Karen.
Mrs. Shupe studied for a time at Utah State
University and worked at a machine shop from
1981 to 2008, but her family, friends and love of
God were the most important things in her life.
She loved to crotchet and quilt and often showed

how much she cared with handmade gifts. She
was always there to lend a hand to anyone who
needed her.
She found love and strength in her faith in God
and the Latter-Day Saints community, where she
was a lifetime active member.
Mrs. Shupe is survived by her husband of 55
years, Merrill Shupe, by her daughters, Kathleen
and Karen, and by her grandson Kyle.
A memorial service to celebrate and honor Marjean will be held today, Friday, November 28, at
11 a.m. at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints, 728 E. Base Line Rd. in Claremont.
Once a week in print. Every day online.

visited regularly, bringing flowers and

tending to her plants and garden.
On Mary Elizabeths 105th birthday,
friends and relatives joined her for a
wonderful celebration of her life by
presenting her with small tokens to remind her of what she meant to them.
They were then hung on a Manzanita
branch that had been a centerpiece of
family gatherings for many years.
Mrs. Blanchard was predeceased by
her son William. She is survived by her
two daughters, Mildred Blakeley
(Robert) of Brisbane, Australia and
Margaret Nelson (Jim) of Chatfield,
Minnesota; by one daughter-in-law,
Arlene Blanchard of Alta Loma; and
by 10 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren and six great-great grandchildren. There will be no services.
Anne Hungerford Griffis
12
OBITUARIES
Health care administrator, advocate for peace and justice

Anne Hungerford Griffis died peacefully on November 10, 2014, surrounded by her devoted family. She
was 77. Cherished by her family and
friends, she brought light, peace, compassion and laughter to everyone
around her
She was born in 1937 in Madison,
New Jersey to Clark and Katherine
Hungerford, who in the 1950s founded
Hungerford Insurance in Claremont.
She attended Pomona College where
she majored in sociology, as well as
Chicago Theological Seminary. She
later received a Masters in Public
Health from Columbia University.
Anne showed a strong social conscience early on, so her major was a
perfect fit, according to her brother
Frank Hungerford.
She was really ambitious in her late
teens to learn about what makes the
world tick, he said. The beautiful
thing is she had parents willing to let
her do this kind of exploration.
To that end, she worked for a summer in a mental hospital in Oregon
when she was in college.
It was a pretty heavy-duty institution, with everything that brings, Mr.
Hungerford said. It was a real eyeopener to her as to how we were taking
care of the mentally ill. It was a time
when most people who were really sick
wound up institutionalized with very
little hope of getting out again.
Her junior year, she attended a semester at the all-black Fisk University
in Nashville, Tennessee, an unprecedented move in the 1950s.
She learned about peoples civil
rights, and civil rights werent really
being talked about at the time, Mr.
Hungerford said.
Longtime Claremont resident Marilee Scaff met Anne when she was a
high school student. Ms. Scaff got to
know Anne further when she was a student of her husband Alvin Scaff, who
taught sociology at Pomona College.
The Scaffs were very involved in
Annes decision to go to Fisk.
Anne was both determined and
courageous, Ms. Scaff said. Adventurous is too light a word to use for it.
She became committed to things that
she thought were important, and then

she needed to do them.
While in Chicago, Anne met her
beloved husband, Richard Bridgman
Griffis, a minister in the United Church
of Christ, to whom she was married for
52 years.
From 1974 until retirement in 1999,
Mrs. Griffis was a health care administrator for Medicaid in Rockland
County, New York and then for the
state of Connecticut. From 1970-1972,
the couple and their two young sons,
Roger and Geoffrey, moved from Minnesota to Nigeria to lead relief work
with the American Friends Service
Committee. Mr. and Mrs. Griffis
moved to Washington, DC in 2003 to
be near Roger and Geoffrey and their
families.
Throughout her life, Anne blended a
passion for the visual arts and music
with advocacy for peace, justice and the
integrity of creation. She sang, played
the piano and flute and composed
music until the last days of her life.
She was an avid traveler, stargazer, poetry reader, gardener and genealogist,
and shared all these enthusiasms with
her family.
Anne believed deeply in civic and
global responsibility, and acted on these
beliefs throughout her life, including
leadership roles with Church Women
United, The United Nations Association
and the Womens International League
for Peace and Freedom.

As he prepares to speak at his sisters
memorial service, Mr. Hungerford has
created a list of words that describe his
sister. The wordsopinionated, positioned, organized, thorough, compassionate and humanistpaint a picture
of a unique individual.
Her longtime friend echoes this sentiment.
Anne was a really powerful human
being, Ms. Scaff said. She was very
devoted to people, to making life better
for them, and to helping resolve all
kinds of social conflicts.
Mrs. Griffis is survived by her loving
sons, Roger Bridgman Griffis and Geoffrey Houck Griffis; by her devoted
daughters-in-law, Donna Wieting and
Claire Bloch; and by her grandchildren,
Rya, Mateo, Danny, Jonah and Eli, all
of whom brought her great joy. She is
also survived by her brother Frank
Hungerford and his wife Jeanne
Kennedy, and many adoring nieces,
nephews and cousins.
A memorial service celebrating
Annes life will be held on Saturday,
December 13 at 10:30 a.m. at the First
Congregational Church, UCC at 945 G
Street, NW Washington, DC.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the music program at the First Congregational
Church, UCC at 945 G Street, NW
Washington, DC.

Small local museums bring delight

by Jan Wheatcroft
spent a week visiting my sister in

New York and the two of us then traveled to Amherst, Massachusetts to
visit my aunt, who was celebrating her
90th birthday. Both Amherst and
Northampton are lovely small college
towns filled with old buildings, delightful
streets and what we call here in Claremont, quaint village houses.
There were front porches to sit and read or dream or
watch the life on the streets. The town shops were of
the small, individually-owned type. Some were filled
with good books and others with imaginative objects of
art and clothing and home wares. We were spoiled for
choice as far as places to eat and we were not able to
sample everything, but we did look in windows and
read menus. I had to drag myself away or I would have
had empty pockets at the beginning of the trip.
My sister and I had two afternoons to drive around
and, after discovering a super tiny yarn store in the
middle of farm country, we followed a sign to the Village of Old Deerfield, Massachusetts, (the historic district part). Old Deerfield is an 18th-century English
settlement, a real New English Village in the Connecticut River Valley near Amherst. Today, it is a nationallyrecognized museum with period houses interspersed
with private schools and prestigious prep schools. The
original old restored houses share yards with lived-in
private family homes. The winding streets have wide,
green lawns and well-kept homes as well as old homes
with museum signs in front, where you can take a tour.

Actually, the historic Deerfield museum consists of 11
historic houses and gives a first-hand look at what life
was like in early America by viewing clothing, textiles,
tools, furniture and the buildings themselves as well as
a tavern and out buildings, hotel, library and shops. In
the library building there was a quilt show on exhibit
but it was closing by the time we arrived. We contented
ourselves by driving around and enjoying a village
where the past and the present were intertwined in a
gentle way.
On our last day in Amherst, we visited the Eric Carle
Museum of Picture Book Art. Its purpose is to inspire a
love of reading through picture books. It is another
small gem of a place that doesnt try to cover too much
or overwhelm visitors. There were three exhibit
rooms with art boards of original illustrations, which
were drawn by three different artists for their various
books.
In the first room, we saw the exhibit The Art of Eric
Carle: Re-Imaged and ReImagined. His earlier illustrations were paired with more recent images he had
re-illustrated for new editions of the original books. It
was wonderful to see how he painted on tissue paper
and collaged the pages of his popular Brown Bear,

Brown Bear and the Hungry Caterpillar with such
bright, vivid, lively colors. In one edition, the bears
head was in profile but later the bear was fatter and his
face was turned towards the reader.
In the second room, we saw the original pages with
drawings by Louise Fitzhugh from her book, Harriet
the Spy, which both my sister and I read many times
and thoroughly loved. We remembered the story, sharing our favorite parts together, and enjoyed the wonderful imagination Fitzhugh had that perhaps encouraged
both of our present-day love of writing.
The third room was full of bright, imaginative original art boards from books illustrated by Simms Tabeck,
who drew, collaged and painted the pictures for Joseph
Had A Little Overcoat and There Was An Old Lady
Who Swallowed A Fly, among others. The illustrations were rich and detailed and very Eastern European
and a great deal of fun to read.
After the exhibit rooms, we went into the small craft
room attached to the bookstore. It was probably set up
for children visiting the museum. There were only two
other adults besides us there. We were given postcardsized cards, scissors, scraps of paper and glue and were
encouraged to make our own illustrations. My sister
made a special one of the two of us with a caterpillar
and, when she was finished, I begged it off of her. It
now hangs framed in my living room. I traded my
mouse, which was less inspired, for it. We had a wonderful browse in the bookstore filled with an amazing
selection of picture books (and I do admit that I found a
few to travel home with me).
The visits were special little treasures that were so
delightful and connected me to the past in many small
ways. It was about seeing historical places, which are
still lived in and loved and carefully preserved. I treasured revisiting books and the art of creating them and
being pulled back to my early years of reading pleasure. It was fun to share all this with my sister and then
sit as children again, making art.

CHS cross country moves on to state competition
laremont cross country pulled off a

first, qualifying both boys and girls
teams to compete in the CIF State
Championships this Saturday at Woodward
Park in Fresno.
Heading into the CIF Southern Section Finals last Saturday, Coach Rob Lander was guardedly optimistic that
his teams would advance. They had run well all season,
dominating the Palomares League, and only needed to
capture one of the top seven places to advance. But it
nearly didnt happen.
The boys ran first with a very solid race led by senior
Mike Lowrie who placed 10th at 15:09. The Pack had
seven boys under 16 minutes, landing them in fourth
place and providing an easy berth to the state meet. Adam
Johnson had a bit of an off day, but fought hard to come
in 22nd place at 15:28. Johan Ross was just behind in
36th place at 15:39.
Coach Lander said, Congratulations to the boys.
They ran well and got fourth place. [Johnson] did not
have his best day but hung tough for the team.
The trouble came in the girls race. The three top places
were very respectable times with Tess Rounds coming
in 23rd at 18:12, followed by Annie Boos in 29th place
at 18:21 and Kiana Cavanaugh in 36th place at 18:28.
But in order to advance, all runners must place high
enough for the team score to be among the top seven,
and that appeared to have slipped through their hands.
Following the race, the mood at the Wolfpack team
tent was somber, with some in tears and other runners
offering consolation.
They ran an uncharacteristic timid early race way
back from where they usually are. They brought it back
in the second half, but it was too late, Coach Lander
said. But the official results had yet to be posted.
Adjacent to the football field, a small crowd had gathered around an A-frame where results were posted.
Coach Lander and a few parents waited for what they
assumed would be bad news, but the girls pulled it off,
scoring 175 and taking seventh place.
Coach Lander danced a little jig as he celebrated.
They may not have run well, but they got it done, he
said.
Claremont High School freshman Tess Rounds was

the top finisher in the girls varsity race coming in
23rd place at 18:12 to anchor the Packs effort to advance to the state meet.

Claremont High School senior Mike Lowrie leads a group of runners on a steep descent Saturday during CIF
Southern Section Championships division two race at Mt. SAC. Lowrie finished 10th with a time of 15:09, which
was the top placing for Claremont and helped the team qualify for the state championships with their fourth
place team score. The girls did not do as well, but narrowly qualified for the state championships by finishing seventh.

Cantrell and
Kiana Cavanaugh following the girls
race on Saturday.
At first, it appeared that the
girls would not
advance to the
state finals but
they held on to
seventh place,
which was good
enough to qualify. Cavanaugh
placed 36th.
Other top performances came
from Annie Boos
crossing the finish line in 29th
place at 18:21.

CHS water polo wins it all in decisive fashion
laremont High School boys water

polo finished a perfect postseason
on Saturday with the ultimate prize,
a CIF Southern Section Division 5 Championship victory.
The Wolfpack defeated Los Altos 15-7 at Irvines
Woollett Aquatics Center in the same commanding fashion they have employed during the entire tournament,
bringing their overall record to 22-11.
The lopsided victories have largely been due to the
foundation provided by the Packs unstoppable defense,
which was in full evidence on Saturday with goalkeeper
Steven Cagle delivering an outstanding performance.
He had the game of his life, Coach Kirstin Rodriguez said in a phone interview on Wednesday. Cagle
usually averages between 7 and 13 saves per game, but
this time he notched 23 saves, according to official
records (28, according to team count.)
Also key on defense were Johnathon Wong and Adam
Ward, who teamed up to shut down any attempt the Conquerors made to get in scoring position. Top scorer Justin
Contreras for Los Altos had 13 attempts on goal, but only
found the net three times.
Claremont came out strong and took a 4-0 lead in the
first few minutes, but perhaps got a bit too pumped and
Los Altos answered back with a goal. CHS seemed to
recognize the mistake and got back on track, scoring five
more to lead 9-2 at the half.
The Conquerors started the second half by pulling
back on their defense and placing all effort on offense in
an attempt to get back into the game. This meant that the
Pack had to change their stance as well, but the result
changed little and Claremont was ahead 13-3 after three
quarters.
The team was very confident in each other. They got

back [on defense] to help when needed and showed great

support, said Coach Rodriguez.
Bruno Snow was the top scorer this season for the
Pack and has become a huge threat both on offense and
defense. He was everywherevery stealthnot a
flashy player but more like the one who makes a perfect
pass when surrounded by three defenders, Coach Rodriguez said. He scored the first two goals and really set
the tone of the game.

It is the first time that Claremont has had a CIF championship in water polo and the coaches are very proud of
the team. In a surprise announcement after the game,
Cagle was named Palomares League MVP and several
players made first team.

They competed against eight bands in
the Division III category, which is reserved for smaller bands, and let their
imagination take flight with a spacethemed program consisting of Star Trek
Generations, the theme from the video
game Halo and Jupiter from Gustav
Holsts orchestral suite, The Planets.
The marching Packwho took to the
field at Huntington High School
wound up in seventh place, the color
guard placed fifth and percussion won
third-place honors.
Its been a great year so far, according
to senior drum major Jared Cicon.
Something weve all noticed among
the bands leadership team and faculty is
that we were given a lot of really hard
workers, especially in the freshman

class, he said. Were getting a lot of
work done because everyones got a
good attitude. The newcomers are excited to be with us, and we have a really
clean show.
Jared played trombone his freshman
and sophomore years before becoming
assistant drum major as a junior. He took
a moment to describe his role.
The drum major is the person conducting and keeping time, he said. He
is the person doing all of the waving-arm
stuff. We keep timea big aspect is
tempo. I have a really good relationship
with the drumline, making sure everything is logged in so the tempo doesnt
fall apart.
He also helps band director Melanie
Riley-Gonzales by working with students who are having trouble with
marching or musicality.
Its a big leadership position, he
said. In band, people have to look up to
you. Its about leading by example in
your actions.
With marching season over, Jared will
put down his baton and pick up his trombone as the band moves into its concert
season. Soon enough, he will be moving
onto college, hopefully at Brigham
Young University in Provo, Utah or
Idaho.
He is leaning toward studying law and
doesnt think he will continue in march-
ing band.
Its more of a high school passion,
Jared said.
Nonetheless, he has forged some invaluable band kid memories in the
course of his high school career.
Being in a band is like nothing else
youll ever do in high school, he said.
Were like a family. We go to the band
room and talk together. No one is excluded, and everyone loves each other.
We all have to work together to make
something awesome and really beautiful.
It brings everyone that much closer.
Brass captain Sarah Blaine echoed
Jareds sentiments. I really love the fact
that we as a band are really close. For example, the seniors like myself have the
ability to be friends with people in the
junior, sophomore and freshman class,
she said. Its not like a clique. Its just
one big family and we all like to describe
it in that way.
Sarah is also college-bound, with her
top picks being Stanford, Berkeley and
Claremont McKenna College. She wants
to major in bio-medical engineering or
neuroscience, but hopes that she will
keep the musical, right side of her brain
alive and well.
I was thinking I would continue, she
said. If Im not in the marching band,
then Id like to be in the jazz band in college, she said.
You can get a glimpse of the program
the Wolfpack Marching Band competed

with by typing Claremont High School
Marching Band 2014 into YouTube,
where footage from a recent competition
at Norco High School has been uploaded. Its got some complex choreography, which is typical of programs
helmed by Ms. Riley-Gonzales, who is a
decidedly motivated band director. She
not only directs both the El Roble and
CHS marching bands but has this year
taken on direction of the high schools
jazz band.
She is very good at pushing us to try
to do our best, Jared said. In the beginning, shes really strict and hard on us
to teach us the essentials correctly and
make sure we get it right. Then, she puts
more of the job on the leadership team,
all of the students who lead our little sections. I like the way she makes it up to
the individual band member, so that each
of us strives to do their best. She is very
good at instilling self-motivation.
All of that motivation paid off as the
band, packed into two school buses, traveled back to Claremont from Huntington
Beach, according to CHS Band student
representative Chloe Lawson.
We have worked extremely hard all
season long, and we put our heart and
soul into our performances, she said.

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. If you
wish to learn whether your sale date has been
postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled
time and date for the sale of this property, you
may call 714-730-2727 for information regarding the trustees sale or visit this Internet Web
site http://www.qualityloan.com , using the
file number assigned to this foreclosure by the
Trustee: CA-14-630925-RY . Information about
postponements that are very short in duration or
that occur close in time to the scheduled sale
may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site.
The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any
incorrectness of the property address or other
common designation, if any, shown herein. If no
street address or other common designation is
shown, directions to the location of the property
may be obtained by sending a written request to
the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first
publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee
is unable to convey title for any reason, the
successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy
shall be the return of monies paid to the
Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have
no further recourse. If the sale is set 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 notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted
to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the
terms of your credit obligations. QUALITY

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINIS-TER
ESTATE OF LILIAN RODRIGUEZ
Case No. BP157528
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors,
contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise
be interested in the will or estate, or both, of LILIAN
RODRIGUEZ
A PETITION FOR PROBATE has
been filed by Robert Foley in the Superior Court of
California, County of LOS ANGELES.
THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that Robert Foley be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.
THE PETITION requests the decedent's will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate.
The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.
THE PETITION requests authority to
administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the
personal representative to take many actions without
obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very
important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent administration
authority will be granted unless an interested person
files an objection to the petition and shows good cause
why the court should not grant the authority.
A HEARING on the petition will be
held on Dec. 17, 2014 at 8:30 AM in Dept. No. 5 located at 111 N. Hill St., Los Angeles, CA 90012.
IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the
petition, you should appear at the hearing and state
your objections or file written objections with the
court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in
person or by your attorney.
IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court within the later
of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative,
as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate
Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052
of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may
want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in
California law.
YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept
by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special
Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory
and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A
Request for Special Notice form is avail-able from
the court clerk.

AND ADOPTED AT REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 26, 2014
(Full text of this ordinance is on file in the

office of the City Clerk)
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF CLAREMONT, AMENDING AND UPDATING VARIOUS CHAPTERS AND SECTIONS OF THE
CLAREMONT MUNICIPAL CODE.
Summary of Ordinance
The Ordinance amends the Claremont Municipal
Code as follows:
Chapter 1.14 is revised to create a second type
of administrative citation. The Citys existing
Administrative Citation will remain, and continue
to be issued by code enforcement officers. Such
Administrative Citations will primarily be related
to building code violations or other correctable
violations. The second type of citation will be
called a Police Citation and will be issued exclusively by Claremont Police Officers. Police Citations will be handled similar to parking
citations. Persons challenging Police Citations
will seek initial review from a Claremont Police
Department Watch Commander and, should further review be requested, an administrative hearing will be held similar to parking citations.
Recipients of Police Citations will have 21 days
to pay the fine (same as parking citations) or request review, and fines will be subject to late fees
if not paid on time. The fine payment deadlines
and administrative hearing procedures for Administrative Citations remain unchanged. The
City may pursue recovery of costs for all administrative hearings on both citations, and recipients
of the citations will be allowed to challenge the
final ruling of the hearing officer by filing a petition to the superior court.
Chapter 1.16 is revised to incorporate the provisions of the Government Claims Act (Gov.
Code 900 et seq.) and include the following: (1)
establishes requirements for contents of claims;
(2) establishes the procedure for filing late claims;
(3) specifies tax refunds as requiring claims,
rather than requiring claims to be filed for all
types of refunds; (4) corrects the time limits for
presenting claims and for filing lawsuits after
claims have been rejected; (5) establishes the time
period for the City to act on a claim; (6) requires
any class action claim to be verified by each
member of that class; (7) requires claims to be
presented to the City Clerk; (8) authorizes the
City Manager (or his/her designee) to review all
claims for sufficiency and notify claimants of any
insufficiencies in their claims; and (9) authorizes
the City Manager to reject, settle, compromise or
allow claims up to $2,500.
Section 2.040.020 is revised to eliminate the following existing language regarding the City Manager: At the time of his or her appointment, he or
she need not be a resident of the city or state, but
during his or her tenure of office he or she shall
reside within the city.
Section 2.04.050 is revised to allow the City
Manager to designate a qualified administrative
office by letter and/or by email filed with the City
Clerk.
Section 2.04.060 is revised to add the position of
Finance Director to the list of Department Head
positions under the City Managers supervision.
Section 2.08.020 is revised to add the exception
that the City Manager may, with the Mayors approval, determine that a different location is necessary or better suited for the purpose of the
meeting.
Section 2.12.040 is revised to add to the exist-
legalads@claremont-courier.com 909.621.4761
ing language to allow for reserve police officers
to be compensated when: (1) working special
events paid for by third parties; (2) responding to
a subpoena related to a reserve police officers
duties; and (3) when authorized by the City Manager for seasonal events. The proposed language
will also add that reserve police officers are to be
reimbursed for personnel expenses as a monthly
per diem approved by the City Manager.
Section 2.12.050 is revised to add that a reserve
police officer may also have the same power and
authority of a regular police officer when he/she
has satisfied the requirements of a Level I reserve
officer as defined by the Peace Officer Standards
and Training (POST) requirements.
Section 2.16.010 is revised to establish a boundary for the residence of the one approved commissioner of up to one quarter mile outside the
City limits.
Section 3.29.200 is revised to remove the separate public hearing requirement for the Utility
Users Tax (UUT) and include review of the UUT
in two public hearings held for development of
the annual budget.
Section 4.16.120 is revised to remove dumps,
and will add mobile disc jockeys (Mobile DJs)
to Tax Category XII.
Section 4.18.120 is revised to replace dumps
with mobile disc jockeys (Mobile DJs) in Tax
Category XII. The proposed changes will also set
the business tax rate for Mobile DJs as $75 for
the first day and $32.50 for each additional day.
These rates are equal to the existing rates for concerts and dances. The proposed changes will also
add a definition of theatrical performances.
Chapter 5.03 is revised to remove the 1986 ordinance language and will add additional language from the Digital Infrastructure and Video
Competition Act of 2006 (DIVCA) regarding encroachment permits and payment of late fees by
state video franchise holders.
Chapter 5.28 is revised to delete the chapter,
given it is now regulated by Chapter 5.40 (Solicitation), adopted in 2008.
Chapter 5.38 is revised to add language addressing the purposes of the chapter, including
language to reduce the risk of fraud and larceny.
The proposed changes also clarify the permit requirements for fortunetelling businesses to require both a business license and a fortunetelling
permit. The proposed changes also clarify the religious exemptions for any potential Constitutional issues.
Section 5.40.010.F is revised to delete the language referencing leaflets and flyers because it
conflicts with case law by the State Supreme
Court and U.S. Supreme Court.
Section 5.40.140 is revised to require persons
selling food from vehicles to comply with the
provisions of Chapter 8.04, which regulates mobile food vendors (food trucks). Chapter 8.04
requires mobile food vendors to display their permits and a City business tax certificate.
Section 6.12.010 is revised to add new subsection D to Section 6.12.010 to define service
animal, using the same language as provided in
the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The
proposed language distinguishes a service animal from an animal that provides emotional
support, well-being, comfort or companionship.
Section 6.12.030 is revised to specify the exemption is for the licensing fees and adds police
service dogs to the above exemption. The new
language also replaces the term blind person
with a person with a disability and removes language requiring proof of certification from a recognized dog training institution.
Section 6.12.080 is revised to add specific requirements for service animals, using the same
language as provided in the ADA. The new language follows the ADA requirement for a service
animal to have a harness, leash or other tether and
be under the control of its handler. Under specific circumstances, a service animal may be off
AUTOMOTIVE
leash in public, but must still be under its handlers control. The proposed changes also exempt
police service dogs from the leashing requirement
when they are engaged in law enforcement activities.
Chapter 8.04 is revised to add language regarding mobile food vendors and vending vehicles to
allow for and regulate food trucks within the City.
The changes include a requirement for all food
trucks to obtain mobile food vendor permits from
the Community Development Director. The new
language also exempts food trucks from the
Citys solicitation regulations. The new language
further exempts any publicly owned vending vehicles; food trucks operating for private events;
and food trucks operating for special events in
public areas (e.g., block parties, parades, etc.).
The proposed changes also require written permission from a public school for a food truck to
operate within 300 feet of the school. Finally, the
changes provide operating regulations, limiting
the location of food trucks with reference to businesses, intersections, and bus stops.
Sections 8.08.255(B), 8.16.020(B.4),
16.087.030, 16.142.010, 17.168.020(B) and
Chapter 12.26 are revised to change the language
from Director of Community and Human Services to Director of Community Services.
Chapter 8.20 is revised to delete the Chapter
from the Municipal Code due to it being nearly
identical to the language in subdivisions G and H
of Section 12.26.090.
Chapter 9.80 is revised to add language to more
specifically identify the prohibited conduct and
clarify the exceptions for such conduct to allow
for legitimate free movement in public. The proposed changes also add language that clarifies the
actions to be taken by police officers in enforcing these regulations. The proposed changes also
include a severability clause so that if any part of
the ordinance is challenged and found to be unenforceable, the remainder will be valid and enforceable.
Section 9.92.010 and 11.02.030 are revised to
incorporate paintball and airsoft guns into the list
of prohibited weapons. Although these two
weapons are generally prohibited under the current code language, they are not specifically
named in the code.
Section 10.08.050 is revised to eliminate the appointment by the City Manager and designates
the City Engineer to serve as the City Traffic Engineer. The proposed language also states that all
references to City Traffic Engineer shall mean
the City Engineer.
Section 10.32.025 is a new section that authorizes the City Engineer to restrict parking on residential streets on days scheduled for street
sweeping and/or collection of trash and recyclable materials. Under this new section, the City
Engineer may place signs or markings on residential streets to restrict parking for street sweeping and/or trash and recyclable materials
collection.
Section 10.32.210 is revised to update the section to include utilizing the Citys online
Overnight Parking (ONP) exemption system,
available through the Citys website, as a method
for requesting an exemption. The proposed language also clarifies that an exemption is per vehicle and that the Police Chief makes the
determination as to whether a request for an exemption of longer than three nights has demonstrated good cause.
Chapter 10.60 is revised to eliminate the licensing provisions for bicycles and retains the existing sections regulating bicycle ways and bicycle
parking zones.
Section 10.69.090 is revised to clarify that violations listed in this section pertain to resident
parking permits. Also, the new language adds a
violation for selling, loaning or otherwise transferring a valid Wilderness Park/Thompson Creek
Trail residential parking permit to a third party.
COMPUTERS

The proposed new language will also identify the
specific penalty for violations of this chapter.
Title 11 and Chapter 12.42 are revised to
change the language from Director of Community and Human Services to Director of
Human Services.
Section 11.02.040 is revised to separate the section into two subsections. The first subsection
contains the existing prohibition regarding missiles. The new second subsection prohibits operating a model rocket within any public park or
on any public highway.
Section 11.02.070 is revised to exempt from restrictions any maintenance personnel, law enforcement personnel, or persons responding to an
emergency situation that requires vehicular access in a City park.
Section 11.02.120 is revised to add exemptions
for: (1) service animals that are accompanied by
their handlers and following the Citys leashing
requirements, and (2) for police service dogs engaged in law enforcement duties in public parks.
Section 11.10.070 is revised to incorporate
paintball and airsoft guns and compound bows
into the list of prohibited weapons. Although
these weapons are generally prohibited under the
current code language, they are not specifically
named in the existing section.
Section 11.10.120 is revised to add an exemption for police service dogs engaged in law enforcement duties is the Claremont Hillsides
Wilderness Park. The proposed language will
also require persons with horses and exotic pets in
the park to clean up after their animals.
Section 12.04.090 is revised to add a reference
to the existing appeal procedures in Chapter
16.321 for appealing any denial of an excavation
permit.
Title 14 is revised to delete the title as the municipal solar utility has never been implemented.
