Hate Claremont?Dear Editor:

I hate, I hate, I hate, I hate, Ihate, I hate, (intermittently). A ratherstrong and ugly word, so oft-repeated.

If, Ms. Spooner, the very essence of

Claremont is so hateful, and you both-ered to buy a home here, sell it andmove. You will get good value in largepart because of the objects of your ha-tred. And then, perhaps, you could stopbeing such a grouch. Nick Quackenbos

Claremont

Try the neighborsDear Editor:

I have the solution for Ms. Spooner,the Claremonter who hates the presenceof the Colleges and their terrible impacton our community.

I recommend she move to a wonderfulnearby community, only a few miles

away and with nice homes, the prices ofwhich are comparable to Claremont. Ithas only one small college and virtuallyno construction going on. The studentsthere do not jaywalk, are considerate of

the local citizens and, while walking intown, the needs of the drivers areupper most in their minds.

This community is called Azusa, youknow, A to Z & the USA. It also hasfreeway access and is closer to both

Pasadena and LA.I hope this info helps.Owen Keavney

After 45 minutes of pub-lic comment and anearly hour-long pres-

entation by city staff, Tues-

days special tree meetingforced the city council to delaytheir regular meeting untilnearly 8 p.m.

Ultimately, the council approved revi-sions made to the citys Tree Policiesand Guideline Manual, but not withoutlengthy discussion.

City staff completed the revisions asrequested by city council following aspecial tree workshop held last June.Highlights of the updated manual in-clude increased use of water bags city-wide, street-tree designations and ap-proval of an additional nearly $9,000 tothe salary of the citys current part-timearborist.

In addition to these changes, councilalso requested additional information onseveral topics, including the impact ofthe current drought on Claremonts ur-ban forest, options for watering city treesthat are drought-stressed, options forpruning programs and the feasibility ofestablishing a 100 percent chemical-freemaintenance program.

Community Services Director Kath-leen Trepa conducted a thorough presen-tation on the tree manual updates, butthe one topic that weighed heavily onthe minds of council and those in the au-dience, was the use of pesticidesthroughout the city.

Citing information from an EPA re-port on the use of pesticides, Council-man Opanyi Nasiali spoke first.

The jist of it is that there appears tobe some bad science coming from theEPA, said Mr. Nasiali. The toxic strat-egy of protecting pesticides is the secondphase of using bad science to cover up

of the truth of the effects of pesticides.The mighty government consortium

speaking with the presumed authority ofscience is skewing the fear of victims,telling them not to worry.

Ms. Trepa addressed his concerns.There are a variety of reports and

studies that have been done regardingchemical usage. We dont have a way to

validate any of the information that hasbeen provided, beyond what is providedon government resources, explainedMs. Trepa. We continue to use these resources as a way to guide and monitor

Get ready to open your heart andpossibly your door this summeras Claremont prepares to wel-

come participants competing in the 2015Special Olympics World Games.

On January 27, the city council approved Clare-monts participation as a SpecialOlympics World Games 2015 hosttown and allocated $20,000 from theunassigned General Fund for costs re-lated to hosting an athletic delegation.

The city will host approximately 100 athletes, train-ers and support staff from one of the 170 countriescoming to southern California to participate in the2015 Special Olympics World Summer Games open-ing July 25, 2015 in Los Angeles. Held at USC andUCLA, the games will feature competitions in aquat-ics, gymnastics, track and field, basketball, soccer andmany other summer sports involving 7,000 athleteswith intellectual disabilities.

Athletic delegations will be arriving to Claremontin the days prior to the World Games to get accli-

mated, rest and train for their events. The city will beresponsible for a welcome reception, two lunches andtwo dinners for the athletes and planning communityactivities on July 22 and July 23. Its the intention ofcity staff to work with community members on plan-ning these activities and to solicit donations and in-kind contributions to offset the cost.

The Fairplex has offered to host a barbecue andconcert for the delegations from La Verne, Pomonaand Claremont on the evening of July 22 at no cost tothe cities. The city of Claremont will also partner withPomona Valley Transportation Authority (PVTA),who will provide transportation to and from commu-nity events as an in-kind donation.

Pomona College, Claremont McKenna College andPitzer College have all generously donated lodgingfor the delegation and the Claremont-Mudd-Scrippsathletic department has committed the use of theirtraining facilities for the athletes during their stay.

Athletes families are not included in the delegationand will need to pay for lodging at local hotels.

Its such a great opportunity for the city, saysPublic Information Officer Bevin Handel. The Spe-cial Olympics World Games is the largest athleticevent in 2015 and were excited to be a part of it.

A country has not yet been assigned to the city ofClaremont yet but an announcement is expected inthe coming weeks.

In other council news

C

ouncil members approved two additionalitems on the agenda Tuesday night: a resolu-tion approving the issuance of a tax-exempt

loan for the benefit of Scripps College as well as apurchase agreement for a small, remnant property lo-cated at the northeast corner of Second Street andOberlin Avenue.

Scripps College requested council approval of tax-

exempt financing through the California Municipal Finance Authority (CMFA) in an amount not to exceed$30 million. The federal Tax Equity and Financial Re-sponsibility Act (TEFRA) requires that a public hear-ing be held by the governing body in the jurisdiction inwhich the project is located. The CMFA shares a por-tion of the issuance fees it receives with its member

communities, granting an expected 25 percent of thatfee to the city of Claremonts General Fund.This isnt the first TEFRA hearing the city has hel

in recent years. Webb Schools, Mt. San Antonio Gardens, Pilgrim Place and Western Christian Schoolshave all previously appeared before the council.

In other finance news, Claremont homeowner JohKerr got council approval for a $4,000 purchase andsale agreement for a 2,048-square-foot parcel locatedadjacent to his home. The remnant strip of land wasleft unused when the extension of Second Street wesof Indian Hill was constructed in 2004. The parcel,owned by the Successor Agency to the Claremont Rdevelopment Agency, is required to be sold as part othe agencys dissolution.

Mr. Kerr had shown interest in purchasing theproperty to expand his residential footprint. Followin

the adoption of the resolution, Councilman OpanyiNasiali quipped, Party in Kerrs backyard!The agreement will need final approval by the Over

sight Board and then the State Department of Financebefore escrow can open and the sale can proceed.

Claremont COURIER/Friday, January 3 0, 2015

It is called politics in action.

This is why I havent come herein a long time. We were driv-ing down the narrow road,

getting farther and farther away, after beingwaved past both of the parking lots.

Cars were parked, jammed along the side of the road,with bunches of people walking alongside in a steadystream. There was no way we were going to find a placeto park, especially when I had to get out of the van in mywheelchair. After about a mile, my friend and I turnedaround and headed back.

I thought we were out of luck on this afternoon ex-cursion during a trip to the Bay Area late last month. AsI told my friend, I was surprised but not really. Yes, it wasa Monday but it was during the holidays, and it was MuirWoods. Muir Woods is always crowded, right? It wasthe last time I was there something like 30 years ago.

It turned out, once the ranger who had waved us onsaw my DP license plates, that there were plenty of dis-abled parking spaces. Even with the 405-freeway-likecrowd, it was a pretty nice outing. It only got hairy anddownright tourist-trappy in the gift shop.

I suspect I wouldnt have been too disappointed and itwould have been a nice excursion anyway if we had beenout of luck and not been able to go to Muir Woods. Itwas a perfectly sunny California winter day, and I lovedriving on Highway 1 and the small back roads in theMarin County and Sonoma County area north of SanFrancisco. It was fascinating to drive through the laid-back yet refined neighborhoods on the way to MuirWoods, and Im a sucker for redwoods and golden hillsleading down to waves crashing into high cliffs.

In fact, for redwoods, I think Big Basin, not far fromSanta Cruz, beats Muir Woods any day. No doubt thereason why Muir Woods gets all the crowdswe hearda range of languages thereis that its compact and neatand a short drive for the tourists in San Francisco.

If we hadnt gone to Muir Woods, we may have takena walk on the Nimitz Trail, a nice, paved closed-off road,easy on my wheelchair, along the top of Tilden Parkabove Berkeley. There are spectacular views of the bay,

and I love the feeling of being far from the crowded citieswhile being not so far.

While these parks and trails are wonderful and won-derfully nearby in the Bay Area, there are any number ofplaces to stop and admire the view while going up thatway. As I said, Highway 1 is one of my favorite drives,and Im often tempted to pull over and get out of the vanto explore or just sit. Heck, that road with all the carsparked outside Muir Woods was pretty gorgeous. And Inoticed a sign pointing to Mt. Tamalpais State Parkhmmm, somewhere else to explore.

And then theres Cliff Drive in Santa Cruz, where wewent the day after going to Muir Woods as we headedback south. I always go there when Im in Santa Cruz;usually, its the first thing I hit in town. Its a street thatfollows the coast for a few miles north of the pier, with

modest neighborhood houses on one side and awalk/bike path above dramatic cliffs and crashing waveson the other. It is pretty spectacular, but theres also some-thing ordinary about it I love, with people out on theireveryday walks and jogs and rides.

I normally would have also gone out on the pier andvisited the noisy and lazy sea lions hanging out at theend, but it was unusually cold and windy that day. I did-nt stay out on the Cliff Drive walk for that long for thatreason.

But I did wonder, as I always do when Im there, whycant there be a Cliff Drive in Claremont. Why do thepeople in Santa Cruz get such a lovely place to take theirdaily power walk? Or why cant there be a redwood for-est nearby? Why isnt there a gorgeous, quiet coastline,with waves crashing against cliffs left in their naturalstate, a short drive from Claremont? Heck, why cant it

take less than an hour to get to Topanga Canyon beach?That would be so nice. Well, I can only dream.Just as I found myself dreaming as I sat, taking a mo-

ment from reading on a Sunday afternoon a coupweeks later in the garden next to Bridges Hall of Muson the Pomona College campus, I took a look aroundwas on a green lawn, surrounded by noble sycamotrees and historic buildings. Squirrels ran along the top a wall, and birds tried out the bird bath. The water wa

nt running that day; theres usually a sweet gurgling.Or I could have been in front of Bridges Hall, sittinin Marsden Quadrangle. Here, there are not only the lawand the sycamores but also a magnificent view in all drections with Bridges Hall of Music (Little Bridges) the south, Bridges Auditorium (Big Bridges) to the easthe Smith Campus Center to the north and the Carnegbuilding on the other side of College Avenue to the weIts a pretty remarkable place for a stroll or an hour otwo with a book (or a screen of ones choice).

If I want to go a bit further, theres Scripps Collegwith its enchanting garden and patios and old Mediteranean architecture. Theres also the Greek Theater othe eastern edge of Pomona College campus. It is a bmore secluded and rustic. (Its also next to the new Stdio Arts Building, which recently got a fair review in th

Los Angeles Times.)

But these arent the only places. On the Colleges campuses, there are plenty of other nice spots. There are alall the parks in town. Shelton Park in the Village feelsbit like Berkeley, with the eucalyptus trees and the craftman houses. And I dont need to mention the WildernePark, so popular that it has been a problem vexing thcity for at least the past two years.

It may be wrong to say I forget that Claremont has athese beauty spots. More likely, I just take them fogranted. No doubt, theyre popular, and these brilliantclear, balmy winter days, with snow-capped mountainin the background, certainly help. Its not just the Wildeness Park.

When I go to Marsden Quadrangle, there are usualother people, and not just students. And they are oftetaking pictures, often for weddings, holiday cards anthe like. I once saw a couple being photographed on thPomona College campus with fallen sycamore leavbeing thrown over them.

Hows that for picture-perfect?

American Sniper: a reflectionDear Editor:

There was a hush in the theater, afew empty seats dotted the otherwise-

filled room. The film would not beshown for 30 minutes, and yet peoplesat quietly in anticipation.

As I gazed at the audience, I noticedone cap, then two, then three, then four,then more and more. These men,strangers in the theater, independently

wore their military capsNavy, Army,Marines, Coast Guard, Air Force. Valorand bravery, triggering powerful mem-ories. My eyes focused on my husbandas he sat looking straight ahead, lost inthoughts of years ago. And, yes, hisNavy cap rested proudly on his head.

In that theater, there were no Repub-

licans, there were no Democrats, therewere only Americans. Americanswhose thirst for fearlessness and nobil-ity beckoned as their anticipation grew.Americans who know deep in theirhearts that politically correct is not al-ways Americanly correct.

At the conclusion of the film, peopledid not clap, they did not talk, they sim-ply stood and silently exited. But thelights told the storythe lips that weretightly drawn and the reflection of tearsthat played on their faces even as theytried to hide their emotion.

It was a moving film, watched by an

audience that also knew other ChrisKyles, other brothers in arms. And asthe doors closed, it ended a brief en-counter of the kindred American spiritIt was a window that reminded us ofwho we are, and what we must strive tbe: Americans, defined by a unitedidentity, under a single American Constitution. A country blessed by God, entrusted to its people to protect.

May we always be worthy of the

lives sacrificed by our military war-riors; and may we pray for all in ourmilitary who serve today.AmericanSniper is a movie that personified theundefeatable American spirit.

A presidents prerogativeby Mellissa Martinez

When teaching English to foreignstudents, I sometimes playclips from President Obamas

speeches. The goal is not to influence

learners political views or even to educatethem on our current state of affairs. No,my goal is simpleI want students tohear how our president frequently changeshis register from relaxed to formal.

Obama peppers his stately prose with an occasionalslang word, an infrequent error and a lot of relaxedpronunciation. Students are often afraid to use idiomsor attempt relaxed pronunciation, so I think of thesespeeches as a perfect teaching tool. If the presidentcan confidently play with grammar, word invention,pronunciation and even slang, perhaps students willbe less fearful of taking chances with language.

Allow me to clarify. Im not talking about egre-gious grammatical errors or inappropriate expressionsbut, rather, a native-like way of producing language.Last weeks State of the Union provided many exam-ples.

Obama, like many of us, often says wanna andhafta, as in Its up to us to choose who we wanna beand we hafta keep striving. He sometimes cuts offhard ing endings in words like doin and rollin. Hesoftens hard ts and pushes words together in com-ments like it dudin make sense or if we donactnow, and he almost always pronounces for as ferconsider, Ill crisscross the country making a case ferthose ideas.

Last Tuesday, the president used edgy idioms likescrew things up, run onto the rocks and gut-wrenching. One of my favorite dialectical distinc-tions of Obamas is his love of the word folks. Someof my favorite SOTU language tidbits of the nightwere: Ive heard some folks tryda dodge the evi-dence, make sure folks keep earnin higher wages

down the road and that means helpin folks affordchildcare.

Before complaining about the nerve of our Com-mander in Chief, consider this: every president, andmany prominent politicians, has brought their own di-alects to the office and often taken liberties with lan-guage. In fact, the so-called errors committed bypresidents have, in many cases, stood the test of time.

Thomas Jefferson is well-known for arbitrarily cre-ating words. He was met with outrage when he cameup with the word belittle. The London Review wrote,

Belittle!What an expression!it may be an ele-gant one in Virginia, and even perhaps perfectly intel-ligible; but for our part, all we can do is, to guess at itsmeaning. For shame, Mr. Jefferson! Interestingly,belittle went on to be widely accepted not only inthe U.S. but also across the pond.

George W. Bush received harsh criticism in 1997when he famously said, they misunderestimatedme. Although I am not a great fan of GW, I secretlyliked his new word because it seems to reflect a com-bination of being misunderstood and underestimatedat the same timea double whammy of sorts.

Dan Quale earned the lasting reputation of being ahorrible speller with potatoe, but according toAmmon Shea, author of Bad English, he was notalone. Mr. Shea reports that other presidents who pub-lished writings with grievous spelling errors include

George Washington, James Madison, Andrew Jack-

son, Ulysses S. Grant, James Garfield and FranklinDelano Roosevelt.

The well-knownNew York Times linguist WilliamSafire took President Jimmy Carter to task on severaoccasions for his language choices. He once notedthat city-dwellers were confused with the president

use of the idiom like a chicken on a June bug. Itdidnt make sense, he quipped, that a smaller Junebug could be swarmed by a large chicken. He com-plained about Carters use of flout over flaunt andhis overuse of the word constraint.

Mr. Safire also took linguistic issue with HenryKissinger, coining the term Kissingerese as a gen-eral category for misused words. Mr. Safire beginswith pointing out the missing colon in his memoir,Henry Kissinger White House Years by writing, Ipresume thats the title; there is no colon after hisname, and the byline is placed on top of what wouldordinarily be the title. Mr. Safire goes on to painstakingly dissect Mr. Kissingers odd use of the wordscondominium, hegemony, people, modalities,oral note, backchannel and loose change, amongothers.

For as long as presidents have been speaking pub-licly, people have been complaining. In Bad EnglishMr. Shea points out that Ronald Reagan misusedhopefully; Roosevelt was mocked (and ignored)when he issued an executive decree to change thespelling of kissed to kist, looked to lookt and surprise to surprize; and Eisenhower popularized theunwanted finalize and mispronounced nuclear asnukular (an annoyance also committed by JimmyCarter, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, by the way

If I had to give an opinion on all this, it would, ofcourse, be positive. The English of these UnitedStates is made up of a variety of regional dialects,speech patterns, hotly-debated vocabulary, idiomaticexpressions, accents, errors and cleverness.

Presidents use language to exude warmth, be a paof us, or maybe just to seem like regular folks. Why

shouldnt they reflect who we really are, after all?

11/28

Heather Marie Renz, a San Dimasresident, died in her sleep on Saturday,January 24, 2015. She was 32.

The daughter of Cheryl Ann Renz-Lopez and Mark David Lopez, she wasborn on November 5, 1982. Heather

was the fourth child in a family of eightkids. She grew up in Glendora, attend-ing Sanburg Middle School and gradu-ating from Glendora High School. Shewas involved in tap, dance and cheer inelementary school and she continuedon as a cheerleader through middleschool. She took her love of dancingeverywhere. She wasnt afraid to dancealone, her mother said.

Ms. Renz was a born extrovert. Shewas a child who never met a stranger,Ms. Renz-Lopez said. She could walkup to anyone and be a friend. Shemade many lifelong friends includingAmber Pacheco and Lisa Austin, bothof whom she met when she was in

fourth grade.She not only became best friends

with Amber and Lisa but came to re-gard their houses as second homes.They were always welcome atHeathers house as well and spentcountless hours playing board gameswith her and her older brother Michael.Other favorite pastimes included dress-up singing and dancing contests, joinedby Heathers older sister Michelle, andplaying tag or roughhousing in the poolwith her brother Ryan. As she grewolder, Ms. Renz became enamored withmusic, getting the words rock n rollinked on her foot and attending no lessthan eight Aerosmith concerts.

Her goal was always to get to thefront of the stage. Once, she climbed upon stage before she was good-naturedlyejected by security. Another time, shestealthily crept below the stage whereshe was able to touch the trademarkscarf hanging from vocalist Steven

Tylers microphone.She was in love with Steven Tyler,

Ms. Pacheco recalled. She eventually

conceded that her plan to be with Mr.Tyler was a pipedream and found acompanion closer to home. Ms. Renz-Lopez used to load her kids and theirfriends into her red Suburban, takingthem on trips to the river or Mexico.They spent hours there, sunbathing andriding Sea-doos or quads. In 2003,Ryan took his best friend, Josh Petrone,on a family trip to the Colorado River.Heather and Josh had known each otherfor years. For some reason, somethingclicked between them. The family al-ways jokes that Josh went to the riverwith Ryan and came back with Heather.I took it hard. I was annoyed that Joshwasnt hanging out with me, Ryan

said. Soon, though, they were spendingtime together again, this time withRyan as the proverbial third wheel.

Ms. Renz and Mr. Petrone were in-separable from that point on. Theyraised a chocolate lab named BB to-gether, and Heather always insisted the

pampered pooch was her daughter.They recently delighted everyone bybecoming engaged. Josh says he willmiss the way Ms. Renz would lift himand anyone she knew up when theywere feeling down. With her outgoing

nature, she was one of a kind.Heather would spark up a conversa-

tion with anyone, whether they weresomeone who was homeless and on thestreets or someone who came into herwork. She treated everyone with the ut-most respect, he said.

Ms. Renz attended cosmetologyschool at Citrus College and worked fora time at various hair salons. Ten yearsago, she switched gears, becoming abartender at Casa del Rey in SanDimas. Even after she stopped doinghair professionally, she would still dohair for her friends, relatives and sib-lings. Most recently, she enlivened ajoint slumber party for her nieces Kylie

and Emma by doing their guests hair,makeup and nails.

Ms. Renz was a great bartender andit wasnt because of her bartendingskills, says Ms. Pacheco, who served asher manager at Casa del Rey. She jok-ingly says her friend was messy andtended to yell at people loudly. Her per-sonality and huge heart is what im-pressed everyone. Maybe it was herthousand-watt smile, which her brotherRyan will always remember.

Heather brought in more sales thananyone. She brought in customers,Ms. Pacheco said. She had tons of reg-ulars who would call her, on her phone,just to make sure she was in.

Staff and customers at the restaurant,which has a drink named after Ms.Renz, Hurricane Heather, are devas-tated to lose everyones favorite bar-tender. They recently held a memorialfundraiser to help defray her funeralcosts.

Ms. Renz was a proud Scorpio andall-around fun person, who insisted thaher nieces and nephews as well as herfriends little brothers and sistersandlater their childrencall her Cool AunHeather or sometimes the less formal

Cool Heather.Ever since she was born, I was al-

ways proud of her, her mother said.She was so fun and cute and so full olife. If she wanted to do anything, shedid it. Even if she wasnt supposed to,she would do it and get in trouble. Shewas so vivacious and happy, andbrought so much energy into the roomIm going to miss that.

Ms. Renz is survived by her motherand father, Cheryl Ann Renz-Lopez anMark David Lopez; by her brothers ansisters, Michelle, Michael, Ryan, MarkJon, Tiffany and Brittany; by her sisterin-law Heather; by her fianc JoshPetrone and his mother Cindy; by her

grandparents, Robert and Joan Renz; bher best friends, Amber Pacheco andLisa Austin, and by her beloved sec-ond family, the Occhiatos. She alsoleaves her nieces, Alexandria, Kylie,Emma, Ashley and Elizabeth, her goddaughter Matilynn, countless friendsand many coworkers and customers atCasa del Rey who loved her.

Memorial and burial services forHeather Marie Renz will be held onMonday, February 9 at 11 a.m. at Oakdale Memorial Park, located at 1401 SGrand Ave. in Glendora.

Friends have undertaken a campaigto raise money for funeral costs for MRenz. They have already reached more

than half of their $10,000 goal, withsupport including two anonymous$1,000 donations. To donate, visit YouCaring.com and search Heather YouWill Be So Missed But Forever In OuHearts!
