Happy tunesDear Editor:

Some might say there are many draw-backs to living on Indian Hill Boulevard:traffic, noise and pollution are just a few of the supporting arguments. However, all of the drawbacks are erased from my mindduring this time of year as soon as I hearthe Claremont High School MarchingBand practice. I stand in my kitchen anddance and enjoy the beautiful sights andsounds of the horns, drums and flags.

Keep up the great work. This year’sband group is stellar. Go Wolfpack!

Why I celebrate the UNDear Editor:

Yesterday, October 24, was United Na-tions Day. Like me, the UN is 68 yearsold. And UN Day couldn’t have come at abetter time: With all the chaos going on in

our nation’s capital, it’s a good reminderof the world outside our borders that alsovery much needs our attention.

As President Obama said in his speechto the UN General Assembly last month,the US cannot turn its back to the rest of the world, even in times of trouble athome. He also reaffirmed his commitmentto a strong US-UN relationship, saying:

“That’s why we look to the future notwith fear, but with hope, and that’s whywe remain convinced that this communityof nations can deliver a more peaceful,

prosperous and just world to the next gen-eration.”

I applaud him for it. Remainingstrongly engaged with the UN is not onlythe right thing to do as the world bodytackles some of the biggest issues inhuman history—from climate change to

chemical weapons—but it’s also the smartthing to do.

The UN serves our own national secu-rity and foreign policy interests in a bigway. Our leadership ensures that Ameri-can priorities are heard on the world’sstage, including promoting democracy,human rights and emergency humanitar-ian aid in times of need.

As the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR),UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) andWorld Health Organization (WHO) striveto care for over 6 million Syrians who aredisplaced or living as refugees; as UNpeacekeepers risk their lives to bring peaceto war-torn countries like the DemocraticRepublic of Congo; and as the UN over-

sees the destruction of Syria’s deadlychemical weapons stockpile, I’m proud tosay that the United Nations has my sup-port for all its work to build a safer, health-ier and more just world for futuregenerations— all the way from Clare-mont.

And that goes for every day of the year.Mel Boynton

President of Southern California UnitedNations Association of the USA

Theteenager, wanted for an outstanding war-rant for burglary and trespassing, led of-ficers on a pursuit on his Razor scooterthrough the 800 block of South IndianHill Blvd. At one point, the teen weildedhis mode of transportation as a weapon,using it to whack a pursuing officer in theside of the helmet before taking off oncemore, according to Lieutenant MikeCiszek. The teen didn’t stay concealed

for long. He was found hiding in a back-yard nearby. In addition to his warrant,the boy was arrested for assaulting andresisting an officer.

CITY NEWS

After an uproar from res-idents at a recent plan-ning commission

meeting, Claremont officialsassert a 60-foot freeway sign is

no longer being considered atTowne Avenue and Base LineRoad.

While the city may decide to rezonethe southeast corner of the busy free-way intersection at a future date, CityManager Tony Ramos assured resi-dents—who vocalized their concernsagain at the Tuesday night city councilmeeting—that a large freeway sign isno longer in the plans.

“I have sent [the proposal] back tostaff to do further research...and, if theretail designation were to stay in place,other signage will be addressed, not in-cluding a 60-foot pylon sign,” he said.

Fears were stirred earlier this monthafter residents received a letter layingout the city’s intent to review a possibleamendment to the city’s zoning code.The proposed zone change would allowa tall sign to be erected at the straw-berry patch in order to support a poten-tial small retail development. The lot iszoned mixed-use, which allows forcommercial uses, but does not allow fortall signage.

Discussion of the sign and the small

retail development was scheduled forthe October 15 planning commission

meeting. However, thereview was unexpect-edly removed from theagenda. Officials later

explained that more research needed to

be done.The delay did not deter residents,

about a dozen of whom spoke in protestduring the public comment portion of the planning commission meeting.Among them was Janet Peddy, directorof finance, planning and operations atThe Webb Schools, who spoke againbefore the council on Tuesday night.

“We appreciate that there are verythoughtful and deliberate processes inplace to make sure Claremont is devel-oped in a way that can be enjoyed andcelebrated by all of its residents,” Ms.Peddy said. “We also understand thecity staff is now preparing additionalinformation to bring to you and to other

commissioners that will hopefully onceand for all put the idea of mixed-use onthis parcel to rest.”

Reiterating that a large pylon sign isno longer in consideration, Mr. Ramosfurther reassured that the developer,City Ventures, has not made plans tobuild a retail development at the site.Should a zone change be considered inthe future, he maintained the reviewprocess would be made open to thepublic.

“I met with the developer last week,gave them some direction on what weneed to further do some research on,and then we will be back through theprocess.”

Healthcare act brings

city staffing changes

City officials will also be evaluat-ing changes to city staffing lev-els in order to effectively handle

the looming employee mandates of thenewly-implemented Affordable CareAct (ACA).

Through the ACA, employers will berequired to offer healthcare benefits to95 percent of all full-time employees,which the act defines as those working30 or more hours a week. Those who failto comply by January 2015 will be fined.

Since the 2009 full-time staff reduc-tion, the city of Claremont has heavilyrelied on part-time workers at 20-32hours a week. Full-time has been de-

fined as 38 or 40 hours a week of work,explained City Manager Colin Tudor.In order to meet ACA mandates in

the most affordable manner, the Clare-mont City Council unanimously ap-proved an organizational restructure tobe implemented within the next eightmonths, prior to the adoption of thecity’s next budget.

Current part-time Claremont stafferswill have their schedules reduced tofewer than 30 hours per week. To ac-

commodate these reductions, two positions will be bumped up to full-timeemployment. For the five police aideshaving their positions reduced, thecouncil approved the reclassification oone part-time aide to full-time work. Iaddition to the possibility of hiring

more part-time workers to make up fothe reductions to the Community andHuman Services Department, whichheavily relies on part-time work, theprogram coordinator for the committeon aging will be reclassified as a full-time site coordinator as well. Both postions will cost the city $98,303, to betaken from the city’s Maintenance of Operations Reserve.

It’s not a permanent fix, but a cre-ative temporary solution, Mayor Opa-nyi Nasiali noted.

“We are in the process of trying tosolve a problem, also doing so withinthe constraints of the resources wehave,” he said.

As the council made reductions, italso approved a notable addition withthe hire of a full-time landscape supervisor to handle the city’s tree mainte-nance duties, landscape management awell as other tasks. In the past severalyears, the city has relied on outsideagencies for arborist services.

EDUCATIONClaremont COURIER/Friday, October 25, 2013

Wednesday night’s school boardforum, co-sponsored by theLeague of Women Voters and

the Claremont Educational Foundation,was marked by civility among the candi-

dates and civic engagement among thenearly 100 attendees.

Held at the Hughes Center, the event allowed com-munity members to ask questions of the would-bemembers of the Claremont Unified School DistrictBoard of Education in advance of theTuesday, November 5 election. Allfive candidates—incumbent StevenLlanusa and newcomers DaveNemer, Nancy Treser Osgood, Joe Salas and PaulSteffen—took their place at the dais, hoping to makea good impression as they vie for one of three openspots on the board.

The gathering began with opening statements bythe candidates, in which they shared the motivation atthe heart of their respective campaigns.

Mr. Salas said his primary aim is ensuring that all

decisions made by the board are driven by what isbest for students. He acknowledged that his platformincludes a number of goals, but added that he consid-ers it crucial for a candidate for any office to bringfresh ideas to the position.

Nancy Treser Osgood feels her backgrounduniquely qualifies her to examine local education atboth the micro- and macro-levels. She cited, amongother involvements, her experience as a CUSD parentand volunteer, her post as secretary of the ClaremontEducational Foundation and her position as chair of the Southwest United States for the Council for theAdvancement and Support of Education.

Mr. Llanusa said he is running for the same reasonhe first ran for the board in 2005. “I think I can makethe schools better.” He is pleased with the strides thecurrent school board has made toward goals like aca-

demic achievement, fiscal security, safe students,highly qualified staff and an engaged community. Mr.Llanusa said he is also proud that he spearheaded a

sixth goal of nurturing the whole child, which he feelsserves Claremont students well.

Paul Steffen said being a small business owner inClaremont as well as a longtime resident would helphim bring an important perspective to the board. Heexpressed optimism about the new Common Coreform of assessment and associated curriculum, whichhe believes will give the district the chance to look atmethods of instruction with a fresh eye.

“I’d like to assist the board in building on itsstrengths and overcoming any weaknesses,” Mr. Stef-

fen said.Like each of the candidates, Mr. Nemer began bythanking the League of Women Voters and the Clare-mont Educational Foundation, the latter of which re-

cently donated $201,000 to Claremont schools.“I know CEF can’t endorse candidates, but we all

endorse you,” he said.Mr. Nemer described the first CUSD board meetin

he attended, when he first came to Claremont in theearly 1970s. Three of five board members voted toclose Sycamore Elementary School, a decision thatspurred outrage from the community. Soon after, op-ponents of the closure launched a recall election andthe three people who opted for a yes vote werethrown out of office. Seeing that high level of engag

ment, Mr. Nemer recalls, “I said to myself, ‘That’squite a community.” Forty years later, he is still inClaremont and still impressed by how much everyon

CANDIDATESʼ FORUM/ continues on page



Night of the laboring deadby Mellissa Martinez

As a child, I was afraid of every

scary monster known to man,

except for zombies. I saw them

as slow, clumsy, thoughtless creatures

that could easily be outrun. As an adult, Ibecame terrified of them.

Modern zombies are no longer happy performingin choreographed street dances with Michael Jackson;zombies of today want more. They have becomequicker, smarter and more prone to group activity.They jump, climb, possess superhuman abilities, waitfor people to come out of hiding spots and they bite!

Given the current zombie mania, I have decided totake a lexical look at these horrid creatures and dis-covered a softer (more toilsome) side. The word‘zombie’ has roots in the West African Bantu lan-guages. In Kikongo and Kimbundu similar words stillexist, like zambi ‘ghost,’ zumbi ‘objects with super-natural powers,’ and nzambi, ‘god.’

When the West African people were brought to the

Caribbean as slaves, their languages, superstitions andreligions came with them. Working on French planta-tions, their native languages mixed with French andformed what is known as Haitian Creole, a languagethat is still spoken in Haiti, the Bahamas and otherneighboring islands.

When the slave population was forced to convert toChristianity, a natural hybrid religion formed—Hait-ian Voodoo. This is where zombies came into the pic-

ture. Some scholars have suggested that perhaps thefirst zombies came from voodoo sorcerers who in-duced a death-like state in people and woke themwith powerful drugs. As you can imagine, these poorsouls would walk around dazed, confused and proba-bly quite injured. Rather than send them to the localhospitals, Haitian folklore says that greedy plantationowners forced their zombie workers to put in longhours in the house and in the fields.

The word ‘zombie’ first came to English in 1929,when William Seabrook published The Magic Island

(Armchair Traveler). He describes the beautiful,tropical green gulf of Haiti, the ruins of Frenchpalaces and the voodoo drums at night. In a chaptercalled Dead Men Working, he writes “But I recalledone creature I had been hearing about in Haiti, whichsounded exclusively local—the zombie…a soullesshuman corpse, still dead, but taken from the graveand endowed by sorcery with a mechanical sem-blance of life...a servant or slave, occasionally for the

commission of some crime, but more often to drudgearound the habitation or farm, completing dull heavytasks.” It turns out that the original zombies werehardworking, indentured servants of sorts, who com-mitted only an occasional crime—not the flesh-eatinfiends depicted today. Basically, if you didn’t bother

the neighbor’s zombie, it wouldn’t bother you. Afterall, it had work to do.

Later in 1932 the word ‘zombie’ was used in thetitle of a Bela Lugosi movie, White Zombie. Al-though many credit Night of the Living Dead forbringing the zombie into modern American culture, iwas actually White Zombie that made the word ahousehold name.

In fact, the film producer sued a subsequent moviemaker who wanted to use the word ‘zombie’ in histitle. The White Zombie people successfully arguedthat the word’s popularity in English came directlyfrom the success of the film and, therefore, could becopyrighted by them. This is perhaps why the word‘zombie’ does not appear even once in the movieNight of the Living Dead.

Clearly the statute of limitations has run out on thi

one. Nobody thinks of Bela Lugosi anymore whenthey think of a zombie. Instead we imagine terrifyingrelentless maniacs, tall powerful alcoholic drinks ordazed teenagers who have played one too many videgames in a day. I say we get back to basics and putsome servitude back into the zombie image. If myteenager decides to dress as a zombie this Halloweenhe will be in for a big surprise when I hand him abroom and bucket and tell him to get started.

EC-STA-SY n. feeling of over-powering joy; rapture; exalta-tion (being ‘beside yourself”)

Iam lucky that the work

that I do and have done inthe past are things that I

enjoy, that are also challengingand creative. And so I havesailed through life involved inpleasurable studies and jobshappily learning and exploringwith the occasional foray into amore difficult or unpleasantplace, which I quickly escapedfrom whenever possible.

I loved the study of anthropology, theGraduate field work with Native Ameri-

cans, the Archaeology in Israel, workingin a bookstore, teaching elementaryschool, teaching ESL. All of these fieldshave been so structured with the abilityfor me to be creative and develop ideasin my own way. Even when workingselling ads for the COURIER I wasgiven the room to make the classifiedpages personal and creative.

I love working with my various craftstoday, showing and selling them andsharing my ideas with people. I lovewriting down my thoughts whether it befor personal discovery, travel journals orwriting for the newspaper.

Along with good choices and thehighs of enjoyable work and adventur-

ous travel, I have had exceptional expe-riences of ecstasy a number of timeswhile traveling. (I do not include sexualpassions and the delights of mealsamong them here.) My first experienceswere while I was on the Greek Island of

Skyros and was part of the SkyrosCenter community of people whocame together. We gathered to learnabout ourselves, to struggle and soarwith others from different cultures andto be open and learn (over a number of

years) to let go of life’s numbing fearswhich inhibited positive progress.

Through classes, writing and physi-cal activities in a beautiful spot we gath-ered, shared, laughed, cried, felt painand joy. However, it was when we let our-selves go and experience emotionsthrough dance and movement that I firstfelt the feeling of overpowering joy; asweet feeling of being “beside myself.” Iwas uplifted, flying without wings or aplane. This was a place where it was safeto let myself go. To allow the “me” of meto fly out.

We would gather in a stone and ce-ment circle under the shade of trees thatoverlooked the water. It took me some

time to learn that there was no “rightway” to move to the music and that noone was really watching or judging whatI did. I was just tapping into the experi-ence of the body, rhythms and music,and the others who were exploring likeme. I can close my eyes and still see us inthat spot, each one in his own space andyet all of us together.

When I lived on the Greek Island of Samos, I learned to ride a motor bike. Atfirst I was scared—just as I was alwaysscared of riding a bicycle. But I took thefirst step and, with two friends, rentedmy first bike the bike shop in our smallvillage. I forgot how to stop the machineand just rode straight into a wall to get it

to stop, bruising my chest a bit. I musthave liked it, as eventually I bought myown small, blue motor bike and wouldride it all over the island. I learned tosweep up the mountain roads leaning to

one side slightly as I came to a bend andtaking the curve just as a painter mightdrag his brush as he forms an arc. I didnot wear a hat or scarf. I loved the feel-ing of the wind blowing my hair about,short as it was. I loved the feeling of speed, although in reality I wasn’t goingvery fast. It was just a little motor bike.But it felt like I had great power andcould fly.

The island was lovely and green in theinterior. There were hills covered in olivegroves, their leaves a silvery green; thencame bare hills covered in sage and wildherbs. The smells were fantastic. Neareach village, there were orchards of or-anges and lemons with darker green,shiny leaves. The roads wove betweensmall villages and as I approached them,I would let their names roll off mytongue deliciously, “Chora, Pagondas,Manolates, Psili Amos.” Sometimes Istopped for a coffee or to chat with thelocal villagers, but mostly I just drove orflew around the roads feeling a sense of freedom that I have never felt before orsince.

The combination of the location, themotorbike, the air and the feeling of fly-

ing and swooping was like nother experience I have ev

known.Later, when I spent other sum

mers on Skopelos Island, I alsrented a motorbike and had th

same experiences. I was free.thought about buying a bike wheI returned to live in Claremont bI knew it would not be the samI would not feel as safe and it w

not a beautiful place to let myself gowould be stuck in traffic, there would blights and lots of people so I allowed thexperience to be part of the Greek yeathat played such an important part in mlife.

I do not move like I used to today. Mlegs and feet are stiffer and even thougthere is still a sense of wildness in mcore that once existed, it is harder to gthe inner motor started.

When I last returned to Greece, I vi

ited both Samos and Skopelos. I weimmediately to Nick’s Rent-A-Motobike where I had once worked and founthere were no more motorbikes for renOnly motorcycles were available anone had to have a motorcycle license rent one.

I rented a car and drove into the hiland was sad to see most of the hills habeen burned by fires and many placwere bare. I have my memories of thecstatic experience, which can still makme gasp at the thought of those timeTimes pf letting go, being free, being touch with a beautiful part of oneself anof the joy of being alive.


Ecstasy with a foreign flair by Jan Wheatcroft



At the last school board meeting,Claremont Educational Founda-tion President Richard Chute was

pleased to present a hefty $201,000 checkto the Claremont Unified School District.

The oversized check was merely ceremonial, thenonprofit having already given the funds to CUSD forthe 2013-2014 school year. There is nothing phony,however, about the steady support the foundation pro-vides to the district.

Because of the Claremont Educational Foundation(CEF), the district is able to provide art and music edu-cation at each elementary school at a time when manyneighboring districts have cut such whole-child enrich-ment programs.

CEF is also responsible for many of the technologyresources at El Roble Intermediate as well as at Clare-mont and San Antonio High Schools. Recently, thenonprofit has additionally begun contributing an in-creasing amount of technology funds to local elemen-tary schools. CEF is dedicated to getting as manymobile devices such as iPads as possible into the hands

of Claremont kids, partly due to the district’s imple-mentation of the computer-heavy Common Core formof assessment.

“It’s also partly driven by changes in society,” Mr.Chute said. “Technology will continue to be an increas-ing need in the future.”

Traditionally, all CEF funds have been dispersed toschool sites based on applications by their respectiveprincipals. In a new move, the organization is this yearreaching out to individual teachers, encouraging themto apply for $2,000 innovation grants. CEF sent out itsguidelines a couple weeks ago and the applications aredue in the spring.

Ten grants will be awarded on merit—on whichideas seem likely to yield student success—Mr. Chutesaid. One school site might not get any grants and an-other might get a couple.

Mr. Chute said CEF will work to avoid any overlapbetween its innovation grants and the $500 Best Betprogram that the Claremont Chamber and Kiwanishave offered for a number of years. Applicants forCEF’s program don’t have to prove beforehand thattheir concept will work, he said. What’s important isthat they learn from the experience.

“We’re more interested in an honest assessmentprocess,” Mr. Chute explained. “We’d rather have peo-ple trying and failing than not willing to take somerisk.”

A graduate of Pitzer College, Mr. Chute first got in-volved with CEF five years ago at the suggestion of friends on the board. He was also inspired to join thenonprofit because his daughter Phoebe, now at ElRoble, was a CUSD student.

Mr. Chute is a professional fundraiser who previ-

ously worked for the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Gar-den and Pitzer College. He is now regional director of trusts and estates at Pomona College.

“I saw the opportunity to bring some of my fundrais-ing skills to bear on Claremont schools,” Mr. Chutesaid.

As Mr. Chute embarks on what is typically a two-year term, he is urging CEF members to envision whatthe organization might look like in three to five years.If he has anything to do with it, the answer will be sim-ple: even more successful.

The amount of funds CEF provides to the schoolshas grown regularly since the organization wasfounded in 1991. At first, the nonprofit raised less than$100,000 per year. Then, during the 2003-2004 schoolyear, crisis hit. In the face of steadily declining rev-enues, the district found itself pondering cuts in impor-

tant areas, including the K-3 reduction program.With the help of the community CEF rallied to cre-

ate the Save Our Schools campaign, which netted closeto $700,000 over the space of 51 days. Some $400,000of that money was given to CUSD so that the districtcould meet all of its program goals for the 2004-2005school year. In subsequent years, CEF began to averagea $100,000 annual donation to Claremont schools.

During the 2009-2010 school year, CUSD was oncemore rocked by drastic state cutbacks. Another rallyingcry was launched, galvanizing the community. CEF’sresulting Get on the Bus campaign allowed the organi-zation to donate $300,000 to Claremont schools for the2010-2011 school year.

After that point, then CEF president Liz Weigand de-termined the nonprofit’s regular contribution should bedoubled, according to Mr. Chute. CEF was able to suc-cessfully transition from gifting CUSD with $100,000annually to presenting the district with an average of $200,000.

Nancy Treser Osgood, secretary for the ClaremontEducational Foundation, said CEF has plateaued at the$200,000 mark. There is room to grow, she empha-sized, citing as inspiration the nearly Glendora Educa-

tion Foundation, which last year raised $450,000. Shefeels Mr. Chute is an ideal leader as CEF looks to ex-pand.

“Richard is really going to be someone that can helpus refine our fundraising practices and move CEF tothe next level,” she said. “He’s also very collaborativeand very inclusive.”

Individual community members already give verygenerously to CEF, Ms. Treser Osgood notes. Thebiggest opportunities for growth lie in forging morepartnerships with business. A prime example would be$15,000 tendered to CEF by Metro Honda Acura lastyear, which allowed the nonprofit to fund more schol-arships and classes for its annual SLICE summer en-richment program than ever before. It all came aboutbecause a CEF member was willing to reach out.

“Our challenge is how to have the money we raise

grow sustainably without waiting for the next crisis tocome around,” Mr. Chute said.

With this in mind, CEF has many events and pro-grams planned for the year. One of these is coming upon Saturday, October 26, an Oktoberfest celebrationthat will see Claremont Craft Ales (1420 N. ClaremonBlvd., Suite #204C in Claremont) and Dale Bros.Brewery (2120 Porterfield Way in Upland) join forcesto raise money for CEF. The event, which runs from 5to 9 p.m., will feature food, beer, a polka band and araffle. Guests, who are asked to leave kids at home forthe night, will be able to travel between both brewerieon a school bus offering shuttle service every 30 min-utes.

Also fast-approaching is CEF’s annual fundraisingkickoff held at the home of Beth and Ivan Misner(3752 Hollins Ave. in Claremont). The gathering,which will run from 6 to 9 p.m. on Saturday, Novem-ber 16, will feature wine, hors d’oeuvres and demon-strations by a CUSD technology teacher. The event isfree, although donations will be solicited. Last year, thkickoff yielded $30,000, with the Misners adding anadditional $10,000 contribution for CEF. To RSVP,email [email protected] orcall 399-1709.

Another perennial fundraiser that is currently underway is the Toyota Prius Raffle. Claremont Toyota willbe drawing the winning ticket in its showroom on theafternoon of March 2. Tickets, which are $20 each,may be purchased at the Misner event and at CHShome football games, among other opportunities. Formore information, visit www.claremonteducational-foundation.org/prius-raffle/

When Mr. Chute is not working or volunteering, heenjoys cycling and watching baseball. Much of histime in the coming months, however, will be spent trying to highlight for members of the Claremont community how their support affects local schoolchildren.

“One thing that really makes a difference infundraising is the opportunity for people to see the impact that their dollars have in a really direct and per-

sonal way,” he said. —Sarah [email protected]

Claremont COURIER/Friday, October 25, 2013 8

COURIER photo/Steven FelschundneClaremont resident Richard Chute has taken over as the new president of the Claremont Educational Foundtion. Mr. Chute has many plans to expand CEF in what will likely be a two-year term.

New president brings fundraising acumen to CEF



cares about education. He would welcome the oppor-tunity to serve on the school board in such a commu-nity.

After the opening statements, thecandidates went on to field ques-tions submitted by those in atten-

dance at the forum. These included

queries such as “What do you feel is therole of a school board member?” andabout how much emphasis the districtshould place on vocational education op-portunities such as those offered throughthe Career Technical Education programsat Claremont and San Antonio HighSchools and at Baldy View ROP.

One question posed is a perennial one raised vialetter writers in the COURIER: “What are the bene-fits and drawbacks of inter-district and intra-districttransfers?” Inter-district transfers come from othercities, such as Pomona, while intra-district transfersinvolve families opting to travel to a Claremontschool other than the one to which they are closest.

To a person, the candidates applauded the highlevel of choice intra-district transfers afford to Clare-mont families. They also each emphasized that inter-district transfers have provided the school districtwith a healthy buffer so that classes and schools havenot had to be closed while the Claremont populationhas fluctuated.

“The kids are great,” Mr. Nemer said of the dis-trict’s transfer students. “In attendance, disciplineand grades, they are indistinguishable from Clare-mont residents.”

Mr. Salas said the fact that some students travel toClaremont schools from as far as Jurupa, the highdesert and San Bernardino is a testament to the excel-lence of CUSD. As far as intra-district transfers go, henoted that two of the elementary schools in northernClaremont—Condit and Chaparral— have reached

full capacity at 646 and 624 students, respectively.“They can’t grow anymore. There are modulars

everywhere,” he said.Mr. Salas said the district would do well to coax

Claremont students to transfer in equal numbers to

each school in the district by “improving the percep-tion of quality.” This has been done successfully byOakmont with its Outdoor School model, which hasmade it a destination campus, Mr. Salas noted. Hefeels another way to do this would be to make atleast one school, perhaps one in the southern area of the city, have a curriculum that is partially bilingual.It is an idea he says would draw both English learnerfamilies and English-fluent kids whose parentswould like to see them have a firm foundation in aforeign language.

The candidates had other areas of agreement aswell, with all of the candidates giving kudos to thedistrict’s increased focus on “the greening” of schools. Both Mr. Steffen and Mr. Nemer warned itcould take a while for the district—along with thosein each of the 45 states that have adopted the Com-mon Core—to get the kinks out of the new assess-ment system. Mr. Llanusa was also cautious,admitting that “we won’t know” what the new test-ing and curriculum will look like until they are inplace.

Nonetheless, Mr. Steffen, Mr. Nemer, Mr. Llanusaand Ms. Treser Osgood each said that they see astrong potential in the Common Core, which will in-clude teaching less standards but will explore thosethat remain at greater depth.

Mr. Salas, however, sounded a note of warning

about the Common Core. It is corporate-driven, hesaid, and incorporates a top-down approach. Presi-dent Obama and other Common Core proponents in-sist the new style of learning and assessment willhelp US schoolchildren grow into more globallycompetitive citizens, Mr. Salas said, and yet theCommon Core was never benchmarked against ex-ceptionally successful international education sys-tems like those in Finland and Sweden. He alsoworries there has been insufficient buy-in for the sys-tem from teachers.

“Be educated on this issue, please,” he asked.This school board election is being called especially

difficult, because there is a large field of candidatesthat are each qualified to help govern local schools.Many attendees at the forum were overheard after-wards saying the event was quite helpful in clarifying

the issues and delineating the candidates’ views.Look for COURIER endorsements of school

board candidates in the next edition of the newspaperand website on Friday, November 1.

city arborist. However, neither believed hiring a landscape supervisor—who, it was noted, is not yet a certified arborist—is the answer.

“Two weeks ago we didn’t have the money for anurban forester, but now we are putting into the budgover $100,000 to hire a person...who doesn’t yet havhis basic first step authorization. He has an excellenrecord and background, but...an urban forester does great deal more.”

Councilmembers Sam Pedroza and Joe Lyonsnoted they would like to see the city consider a certified arborist in the coming months, but in the mean-time the council unanimously approved the landscapsupervisor as a temporary solution. With the councilapproval, the city will also spend a maximum of $40,000 to contract a management consulting firm tanalyze the current operation of the Community andHuman Services Department.

“This is a step in the right direction,” Mr. Pedrozasaid. “I’m hoping that our community is hearing thatwe are not ignoring the comments that are being madand that there is an effort here to try to incorporate [thcomments] as we move forward with these policies.”

City surplus provides cushion

As the city continues to toy with a potential

water bond and other multi-million dollar expenditures, a recent budget surplus is providing the city with a chance to save for the future.

Finance Director Adam Pirrie announced a surpluof $1.3 million at the close of the 2012-2013 fiscalyear. The spare funds are a result of “better than ex-pected revenues in several categories including property tax, sales tax, transient occupancy taxes, utilityuser taxes and building permit and plan check fees,according to Mr. Pirrie.

The city will use the funds to pay $300,000 to theCalifornia Public Employees’ Retirement System;$3,000 to the Equipment and Facility Revolving Re-serve; $300,000 to the Maintenance of Operations Reserve and the remaining to the general fund reserve.

I started out makina scarf, but before I knew it I was makin

a shorter placemat. After a few dayof weaving, I was just about ready to givup, but Auntie Bekki provided me with much encouragement that I decided to sthe job through. When I finally finisheshe told me my placemat was beautifuwhich made me feel so special.”

Dorothy NorrisLoving mother and grandmother, traveler, artist

Dorothy Drake Norris, a longtimeClaremont resident, died peacefully onOctober 8, 2013 at the Claremont Manor.She was 94.

Mrs. Norris, known affectionately asDottie, was born on August 28, 1919 in

Newark, New Jersey to Raymond andEmilie Drake, both descendants of one of the original land grant families in Newark.She graduated from Pine Manor Collegein Wellesley, Massachusetts after studyinghome economics and participating in thedrama club where she served as presi-dent, the beginning of many leadershiproles.

When she was 16, she met her futurehusband, Bill Creasey. After Mr. Creaseygraduated from Brown University, theymarried in 1941 and then headed west toCalifornia, settling in Pasadena.

OBITUARIE



Thursday’s school boardmeeting started withgreat news in the form

of an oversized check.Richard Chute, president of the

Claremont Educational Foundation,

used the prop to in-form meeting atten-dees of the sizeabledonation the non-profit is giving to Claremont schoolsthis year: $201,000.

The money will be used to fund tech-nology and art and music education atlocal elementary schools as well astechnology at El Roble Intermediateand Claremont and San Antonio HighSchools.

Mr. Chute was quick to point out thatthe school board’s thanks were owed tolast year’s CEF president Ken Corhanrather than to him, as the money wasraised on Mr. Corhan’s watch. Mr.

Chute was joined by Mr. Corhan andrepresentatives like CEF secretaryNancy Treser Osgood—a candidate inthe upcoming November 5 schoolboard election—in heading to the frontof the board room to acknowledge theboard’s gratitude.

“It’s always a pleasure to have youhere, check in hand or not,” jokedboard president Mary Caenepeel.

The Claremont Unified School Dis-trict Board of Education next issuedkudos to groups and individuals in thedistrict who have been acknowledgedby Sustainable Claremont for “exem-plary work” in the area of sustainability.These include Oakmont Elementary

School, whose Biomes Project includesthe on-campus recreation of distinctCalifornia ecosystems such as desert,grassland and forest and the teaching of an associated curriculum. SustainableClaremont also applauded Scripps Col-lege professor Nancy Neiman Auer-bach, who oversees San Antonio HighSchool’s Food Justice Program, as wellas Sumner Elementary School for thesuccess of their Earth Day commemo-ration last April.

Ron Mittino, Sustainable Clare-mont’s representative to local schools,was pleased to present a special rewardto Sumner School. While, as he noted,the organization’s $200 check was

somewhat smaller than the one pre-sented earlier by CEF, it will serveSumner’s garden program well.

Gardens also featured in the reportby the board’s student representativefrom Claremont High School, AlexaRamirez. Alexa was pleased to note thatVista del Valle Elementary School’spumpkin sale, featuring gourds har-vested from the Vista garden, yieldednearly $400. The money will be used

for Vista’s environmentally-mindedGreen Team.

Next up were reports from the schoolsite councils of Sycamore and ConditElementary Schools, each of which pre-sented their school’s Single Plan forStudent Achievement (SPSA). An

SPSA tracks a school’s progress to-wards goals set the previous year andoutlines its latest priorities.

Both teams expressed pride in theirschool’s achievements. Principal AmyStanger of Sycamore ElementarySchool noted that Sycamore studentsare not only improving in their mathperformance. The range of studentscores is also narrowing, she said,meaning there are less students per-forming at a below-proficiency level.

Sixth graders are showing 85 percentproficiency in language arts, meaningthe school is sending students off to ElRoble and beyond well-prepared forsuccess. Sycamore is continuing its

extra work with students facing chal-lenges, including upping interventionsfor English learners from twice a weekto four times a week.

Greater access to technology is pay-ing great dividends, Ms. Stanger em-phasized. Some 64 percent of studentshave a weekly opportunity to use aniPad. While the devices offer plenty of opportunity for play, the kids are in-stead using them for innovative learn-ing opportunities. Some students, forexample, created a video to go alongwith a unit on wolves.

Condit Principal Christine Malally

and her team also had significantachievements to talk about, includingan increase in the school’s AcademicPerformance Index score. Ms. Malallyalso shared how the school was suc-cessfully intervening with at-risk stu-dents. A cohort of students who were

kindergarteners in 2007 was identifiedas being vulnerable to under-perform-ing in the area of language arts. Thankto Condit’s support staff, each of thosestudents, now sixth graders, is profi-cient in language arts.

In less heartwarming news, Condit’school site council reported while theiintervention programs for K-2 studentis thriving, they are unable to undertaka similar campaign for struggling thirdthrough sixth graders due to a lack of support staff.

Near the meeting’s conclusion, LisaShoemaker, assistant superintendent obusiness services, presented a timelineof the imminent relocation of CUSD’s

Service Center to the southwest cornerof the District Office parking lot. Afterthe board voted to undertake a formalbid for the placement of a pre-fabri-cated building and all of the associatedsite improvements, she would expectthe bidding process to begin in November. By December, she projected thedistrict will bring the winning bidder tthe board. And after a 5-month con-struction period, Service Center personnel will likely move to the new quartein late May.

New business brings good taste to Claremont

At Vom Fass, VillageWest’s newest shop,vinegar does catch

more flies than honey.The buzz about the opening of the

German-based company, offering tast-ings and the purchase of oil, vinegar,wine and spirits, has been steady in re-cent months as the Vom Fass team pre-pares to open the company’s thirdCalifornia location. Foodies will behappy to know the wait is finally over.The casks are now flowing at 101 N.Indian Hill Blvd.

Brought to Claremont by partnersKim Peeples and Denise Solis, VomFass takes over the spot left vacant byWisteria Grove, now located off ArrowHighway in Claremont. Despite thechange in business, however, the inten-tion of the space remains the same. Thebreadth of the company may be signifi-

cant, with more than 300 stores world-wide, but its relative newness tosouthern California provides the Clare-mont store with the charm of a small-town establishment. The owners hopethe flavor of their business style drawsin customors as much as the content of their barrels.

It’s not hard to become hooked oncethe samples start flowing. Spoons andcups readily available to customersonly serve to fuel the fire. It’s an inte-gral part of the experience the ownersfeel make their business stand out.They let the product speak for itself.

“If someone wants to come in andtry a 22-year-old Scotch, they can just

grab a sample cup and give it a try,”Ms. Peeples said. “If someone is goingto invest in something like that, theyare going to want to try it, and ourwhole system is you can try before youbuy.”

Thirty-seven liquors, 28 spirits andover 60 oils and vinegars line theshelves of the shop, adding splashes of color to the interior and beckoning tocurious customers. Equally eye-grab-bing is the parade of empty glass bot-tles, some short and circular, otherslong and lean. Once a patron chooses aproduct, they may pick a bottle accord-ing to size and preference. Oils andvinegars are sold in a range of sizes,

from 50 milliliters to one liter.The abundance of choices is both ex-citing and daunting. Oils and vinegarsrange from pumpkin seed oil, Bear’sGarlic and strawberry to flaxseed,argon and chili. Colorful spirits includeapple pie, latte macchiato, sour cherryvodka and “the mysterious green lady,”Absinthe.

For those overwhelmed by the over-flowing oil and vinegar options, em-ployees are at the ready to suggest afew of their favorite combos or point toa gift basket, themed to suit differentpalates and cuisines. The Vom Fasswebsite also offers recipe ideas forthose wondering how to incorporate the

more zany options.A self-proclaimed foodie, Ms.Peeples is relishing her role as the

owner of a “unique” culinary experi-ence while also fulfilling a calling. Ms.Peeples is no stranger to the food in-dustry. For years, she worked alongsideher dad in establishing a family-ownedyogurt shop in the South. She returnedto school to get an accounting degree inhopes of further building her family’sbusiness but, as she describes it, “cor-porate America sucked me in.”

Years later, and halfway across thecountry, Ms. Peeples and her partnerare returning to her roots. “I said to my-self, ‘this is the year I’m going to dosomething big,” Ms. Peeples’ recalled.

She held herself to that promise, andto the due diligence researching whatshe considered one-of-a-kind fran-chises. It was a franchise broker whoinitially suggested Vom Fass. The cou-ple had never heard of the company,but it didn’t take much convincing forthem to latch on to the concept. Onevisit to the company’s Westlake Villagestore and it was all over.

“The minute I tasted the star datevinegar with lemon oil combo, I knewwe had to buy this [franchise],” shesaid. “I knew we had to bring this toClaremont.”

Although they are Rancho Cuca-monga residents, it was never really aquestion that the couple would be set-ting up shop in Claremont, which theyconsider their home away from home.

“There are a lot of foodies in Clare-mont, so many people that are inter-ested in trying new things,” she said. “Itwas a natural fit.”

True to form, however, Ms. Peeples’admits she sat in front of the store fortwo weeks straight making sure the

traffic was just right. It more than ful-filled her expectations.

Adding to what she feels is a primelocation is the support she has receivedfrom other Village West businesses.She already has plans to host cookingdemonstrations and tastings with someof her fellow First Streetentrepreneurs.

“We are all here to help each otherout,” she said. “It’s like a little family.”

Ms. Peeples hopes her store is not just a retail outlet but a communitygathering place. To help set the tone,plans are in place to host Scotchclasses, wine pairings and other interac-tive events. The couple is also prepar-ing for a grand opening celebration, to

take place Saturday, November 2 andSunday, November 3. Brian Boitano,

US Olympic figure skater-turned-chefwill be at the store on Saturday from 3to 6 p.m. selling and signing copies of his latest cookbook. The first 50 cus-tomers will receive their signed copyfor free.

Vom Fass Claremont is located 101N. Indian Hill Drive, Ste. C2-100, justwest of Chico’s on First Street. Thestory is open Monday through Thurs-day from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday andSaturday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. andSundays from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Sixty years ago, gathered under theolive trees of the local hillside forthe inaugural Padua Hills Art Fiesta,

the area's greatest sculptors, painters, pot-ters and ceramicists traded the comfort of their studios for the shade of the PaduaHills Theatre. Their aim? To share theirlove of creating with the Claremont com-munity through public art demonstrationsand displays.

Today, through the efforts of the Claremont Museumof Art, that tradition of creation continues.

Reinstated in 2011 after 52 years of closure, the PaduaHills Art Fiesta continues to draw the area’s most pro-lific artists for a one-day display of fine art. Twenty-fiveartists will participate in this year’s showcase, whichfeatures painting, ceramics, glass, sculpture, textiles and

jewelry from the likes of Crispin Gonzales, NancyMacko, Ann Seltzer, David and Kauzumi Svenson andmore.

As in its previous year, the 10th annual Fiesta honorsthe artists of Claremont’s present while making a pointof paying homage to its past. A special exhibition, “BettyDavenport Ford: Capturing the Animal Spirit,” on dis-play at this year’s event does just that. The viewing—sponsored by Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Gardens andthe Sam and Alfreda Maloof Foundation for Arts andCrafts—takes festivalgoers on a journey through 60years of sculpture as created by one of the Fiesta’s orig-inal artists.

Ms. Davenport Ford, an integral part of Claremont’sart history, remains a relevant and engaged participant tothis day. The 89-year-old has yet to put down her toolsor put an end to her ceaseless fascination with the beautyof art and creation around her. She hopes to ignite a sim-ilar passion in others.

“The creative process is a very wonderful event,” Ms.

Davenport Ford said. “If people can have that experi-ence, it enriches their life tremendously.”The famed artist has done her duty over the years to

ensure art remains accessible to the community. Chil-dren continue to enjoy climbing on the dome she erectedat Wheeler Park. Her 10-foot-long Siberian Tiger, madeto scale, continues to stare down students at ChaffeyHigh School. Before it made its way to the school cam-pus, it inspired the playful intentions of her children whoenjoyed crawling into the structure as their patientmother worked nearby.

Ms. Davenport Ford has an extraordinary way of capturing the essence of nature in her well-craftedcompositions, shared Hal Nelson, curator at the Hunt-ington Library who helped organize, “The House ThatSam Built: Sam Maloof and Art in the Pomona Valley,1945- 1985,” which included Ms. Davenport Ford’s

work.“While she abstracts her forms slightly to createthoughtfully-organized sculptural compositions, shealways manages to capture the essence of her subjectand to bring each creature vividly to life,” Mr. Nelsonsaid. “Betty is an exceptionally talented artist with akeen understanding of ‘all creatures great and small.’”

Long before her exhibition masterpieces, the na-ture-inspired artist was creating makeshift animal fig-urines for her own personal enjoyment. Ms.Davenport Ford fostered a love of nature and animalsas a young child growing up in the Inland Empire.While others collected dolls, Ms. Davenport Ford col-lected animal figurines, taking her prized possessionsinto her backyard where she would create littledwelling places out of sticks and other natural materi-als. A chewed-up piece of wax or bit of bark carved

with a pocketknife did the trick and served as a basisfor her out-of-the-box mentalities.The Davenports, recognizing their daughter’s tal-

ents, encouraged the creative inclinations of the youngsculptor by enrolling her in a summer course withScripps’ instructor Suzie Singer. Through Ms. Singer,Ms. Davenport Ford would learn some of the tech-niques that would guide her future works, such as thebreak-through hollow-building method, allowing herto create large, life-size pieces without the risk of hav-ing them explode in the kiln. It was an approach sheused throughout her career and passed on to her stu-dents.

“[With the hollow-method], we had an almost non-existent mortality rate,” she joked.

Ms. Davenport For herself was a creative problem-solver, developing her own distinct approaches to getaround the expensive prices of colored clay. Instead of opting for pricey pigmented clay, she enjoyed apply-ing a thin coat of paint to white clay or adding bits of colored “pebbles,” a recognizable feature in many of her works.

Ms. Singer wasn’t the only one of Ms. DavenportFord’s famous mentors. As a Scripps student, sheworked closely with renowned sculptor Albert Stew-art, serving as his assistant for two years after hergraduation. Millard Sheets also played an integral partin propelling her artistic career, commissioning a ma-

jority of her most prominent public works and intro-ducing her to Ruth Hatfield of the Hatfield Galleries inLos Angeles. Ms. Hatfield was one of the first to pur-chase Ms. Davenport Ford’s pieces—a set of camels

for a nativity scene.“Wonderful things happened because of MillardSheets,” she said.

Thanks to practice—both in the classroom andthrough her own personal explorations in her garage home—Ms. Davenport Ford was already an accom-plished sculptor by the time she entered Scripps as anundergraduate art student. Despite this advantage, shestill had a lot to prove with the prejudices she experi-enced as a woman. Enduring preconceived notionsthat she would throw her artistic pursuits aside infavor of marriage, Ms. Davenport Ford continued to

excel, earning a bachelor’s degree from Scripps Col-lege and later a master’s at Cranbrook in Michigan,with the constant support of her husband, Harold, asshe pursued art as a career.

She returned to southern California to join her col-leagues in setting up shop in the Padua hillside, a drawfor many artists because large kilns were not out-lawed. Ms. Davenport Ford and her husband paid Heman Garner for their land in part by making him oneof her famed sculptures.

The Padua Hills arts community proved fruitful forMs. Davenport Ford, whose creations have been showcased in 82 exhibitions. Though she no longer lives orworks in her north Claremont home, the interior serveas a living testament to her illustrious career. Nestledamong the countless colorful animals of her past, justdays before the Padua Hills Art Fiesta is resurrected

once more, Ms. Davenport is once again at home.“Padua Hills is a wonderful environment for theartist. That’s has always important to me,” she said.“Art is my life.”

“Betty Davenport Ford: Capturing the AnimalSpirit,” will be on display for one day only at thePadua Hills Arts Fiesta, taking place Sunday, November 3 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Padua Hills The-atre, 4467 Padua Ave. The exhibition will then moveto the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, where itwill remain through March.

Tickets for the Padua Hills Arts Fiesta are $8 foradults or $6 for CMA, RSABG and Sam and AlfredaMaloof Foundation members. Children under 18 arefree. A free shuttle will be available from Padua Av-enue Park.

OUR TOWN



Astandard Thursdaymorning in the Clare-mont Village was

turned upside down when afour-unit apartment building in

the 300 block of West 12thStreet caught on fire, consuminga bedroom in one of the upstairsunits.

The Claremont Police Departmentwas the first to respond, after receiving a9-1-1 call from the occupant of the uniton fire yesterday around 10:30 a.m. Ac-cording to police, the resident had beenwalking a neighbor’s dog when she re-turned home to find her apartment filledwith smoke. By the time officers arrived,the apartment was engulfed in flames.

“There were flames coming out of both doors,” said Claremont Police Lieu-tenant Shelly Vander Veen. “Our mainfocus was evacuating the building andmaking sure everyone was outside.”

Claremont Fire Station 101 was thenext to respond, followed by four fire en-gines, two trucks, one paramedic and twobattalion chiefs. Flames were extin-guished within 15 minutes, according toBattalion Chief Arthur Ellis. There wereno injuries to residents or emergency re-

sponders. The fire was started and con-tained within the bedroom of one of theupstairs units, but the source of the blazeis unknown, says Mr. Ellis.

The occupant of the charred unit wason scene, but declined comment.

Gretchen Fassbinder, a neighboraround the corner from the fourplex, wasat home with her daughter when sheheard the sirens and saw the smoke. Sheturned the corner to find the source of thecommotion, and found herself face-to-face with the conflagration.

“The flames were just incredible,” shesaid. “They were just pouring out of thewindow.”

Alexia Calzada, a resident of the four-plex and a Claremont Colleges student,was relaxing on her couch when sheheard a woman shrieking outside. It was-n’t until she stepped onto her front porchto check on the source of the screamingthat she saw and smelled the smoke.

Ms. Calzada said she is usually in classon Thursday mornings, but had decidedto skip last-minute. “I was comfy in bedand had moved over to the couch whenthe screaming started,” she said.

Though no other unit in the complexwas damaged, and Ms. Calzada and amajority of the other occupants will beable to return to their units this evening,she remained concerned for her grief-stricken neighbor.

“I just hope she’s okay,” Ms. Calzadaexpressed.

O

n Friday afternoon, droves of Claremont High School studentsgathered at Memorial Park in

eager anticipation of two longstanding traditions: the crowning of the homecomingking and the CHS homecoming parade.

The bandshell stage was festooned with Egyptianstyle decorations when emcee Lizzie Aguirre took thstage, dressed as Cleopatra. She first summoned theWolfgang dance troupe for a lightning-fast perform-ance and next called the five homecomingprincesses—distinguishable from their peers by theigowns and tiaras—to the stage for a round of ap-plause.

The ladies of honor, each accompanied by a rela-tive, included Annika Ellwanger-Chavez, HannahChua, Hannah Hoyle, Nancy Mercado and Diana

Zhao. Nancy, who was wearing a peach floor-lengthgown embellished with rhinestones, pronounced theexperience “super exciting.”

“It’s such an honor. I didn’t think I’d be on court,”she said.

Diana’s escort was her 9-year-old brother Sean,who said it was good to see his sister chosen as ahomecoming princess. He also, perhaps influenced bthe exuberance of the teenaged crowd, said highschool looks fun.

After a performance by the JV cheer squad, accentuated by metallic magenta pom-poms, members of the CHS Choir lifted their voices in a rendition of Natasha Bedingfield’s “Unwritten.” The crowd wasnext treated to a blast from the past in the form of layear’s homecoming king, Shabeer Siddiqui, who hitthe stage to help crown his successor.

The candidates included five princes dressed in tux

dos and carrying rhinestone scepters,Emerson Dauwalder, Garrett Gomez,David Musa, Tyler Tinajero and Ed-uardo Vargas. Just being on the court isan honor, according to Emerson, whoseaccomplishments include being a CHSthespian since freshman year, serving astrack captain this year and participation

with ASB, among others.“I like to spread out and try every-

thing to see what I like,” he said.There can be only one king, Lizzie

noted with all the drama of an accom-plished CHS thespian, and this year’s isTyler, a member of the Wolfpack var-sity football team. “The peasants havechosen you to rule at the top of thepyramid,” she announced.

Tyler would later be joined by aqueen, Hannah Hoyle, who wascrowned during halftime at Clare-mont’s homecoming game againstSouth Hills High School.

With the rally over, it was time forthe annual homecoming parade. There

was lots to see, including the El Roblemarching band and dance team as wellas members of the homecoming courtbeing driven along streets neighboringMemorial Park in eye-catching con-vertibles.

The centerpiece of the processionwere floats created by each ClaremontHigh School class, an endeavor that tookseveral days to accomplish. The floats,which were built on flatbed trailers andpulled by trucks, were quite elaborate.

The freshmen came in fourth with afloat celebrating Claremont’s prehis-toric past, complete with dinosaurs anda volcano while the juniors took third

place with a rock ‘n’ roll-themed offer-ing including the Rolling Stones’ lips-and-tongue logo, a drum kit and anoversized boom-box and cassette tapes.Fittingly, the class of 2015’s float wasblasting rock classics such as “Fat Bot-tomed Girls” by Queen.

The sophomores reached unexpectedheights, with their Egyptian-themedfloat taking second place. Winning fea-tures included glitter-topped pyramids,hieroglyphics and renderings of the

jackal-headed god Anubis. The creatorsof each float are asked to embed a wolf somewhere in their design, a fun“Easter egg” for spectators to look for.When examined closely, this Egyptianextravaganza revealed a sphinx with awolf’s head.

As is traditional, the seniors’ floatwon. The class of 2014 had engineereda creative look at Claremont’s future,where metallic skyscrapers have re-placed buildings such as the Packing-

Jesse Baltazar, father of sophomoreAshtian Batlazar, said he considers thefloat-making to be a wonderful tradi-tion.

“I love it,” he said. “It’s a great bonding exercise, it teaches teamwork and gets kids who normally don’t hang outtogether working together.”

Wolfpack football stays close, but comes up short again

Volleyball win streak helpspostseason chances

For the third week in a row, theClaremont girls volleyball team won instraight sets, defeating Ayala 26-24, 25-13 and 25-20. The Wolfpack are ridinga three-game win streak and now standat 11-9 overall and 3-3 in Sierra Leagueaction.

The Wolfpack’s offense was lights-out Tuesday night and sparked an im-pressive performance from the team

all-around. Senior middle blocker JanieFeldsher recorded team-high 12 killswhile junior outside hitter Denise Brit-ton had 10 kills. Feldsher and Brittonhave combined for 64 kills in 19 setsthis season.

Head coach Allan Comerford wasproud of the way his team played to-gether as one pack, commending hissquad on their communication and en-ergy throughout the match.

But with the postseason fast ap-proaching, he knows just how crucial itis to perform well down the finalstretch of the regular season.

“It is very important we play wellthrough the second half to make play-

offs and secure a spot,” Coach Comer-ford said. “Beating Ayala was a hugestep in making our chances to the play-offs possible.”

Results for today’s match with SouthHills will be posted in the next editionof the COURIER.

Water polo team fizzles afterquick start

The Wolfpack (14-4, 3-1) lost 14-10to Ventura on Wednesday in a non-league match, despite controlling a ma-

jority of the first half and jumping outto an early lead in the first quarter.

Claremont held a 3-1 lead after onequarter, and increased that lead to 5-3

midway through the second. Venturathen went on a 4-point run over the

next four minutes to take a 7-5 leadwith 37 seconds left. Claremont wouldpull within one, after the Wolfpack withtime expiring netted a backhand goal.

Just as Claremont fought back to

within one before the intermission,Ventura went on another scoring run toopen the third, netting four consecutivegoals to jump out to an 11-6 lead.Claremont did not get its first second-half goal until the two-minute mark,which was its lone goal of the quarter.

Ventura continued to execute itsgame plan in the fourth quarter, tackingon four more goals, but Claremontfought back and narrowed the marginto three goals with two minutes left inthe match. Ventura added on two moregoals before the Wolfpack added ontheir tenth and final goal of the match.

Head coach Kristin McKownthought Ventura came out and executed

well, but she said the loss falls on herteam for not playing up their standards.

“They’re definitely a good team.They have a great center, and in prepar-ing for that I think we lost focus. We

just need to have a little bit more confi-dence to shoot.”

Coach McKown noted CHS have thephysical talents to be where they wantto be at performance-wise, but it is themental aspect the team is stumblingwith right now.

“I think we’re struggling with ourmental strength,” Coach McKown said.“We have the physical ability, so if westart playing as a team I think we willdo very well to finish off the season.”

Results from yesterday’s league matchagainst Ayala will be posted in nextweek’s edition of the COURIER. CHSwill face Damien on Thursday at home.

Golf team play peaks at right timeThe Claremont girls golf team

kicked off Sierra League postseasonplay at Los Serranos North on Tuesday,

with four of six golfers making the cuto compete in the finals, which wereheld yesterday.

The top four golfers from the two-day league tournament will representthe Sierra League in the CIF regionaltournament on Monday.

The Wolfpack’s top performer durinprelims, Kennedy Bingham, sat in second place out of 28 competitors afterday one with a score of 86. NicoleCurti was tied for seventh with a score

of 94, trailing the last CIF spot by threpositions. Stella Huh held spot No. 13with a score of 103 while VanessaLopez trailed her by one stroke, finishing prelims with a score of 104.

Head coach Octavio Hernandezpraised the performances of all of hisgolfers, saying that not only are theypeaking at the right time, but they arealso playing their best golf of the sea-son.

“I was proud of Kennedy becauseher first 9 holes were not stellar, but shshot one over on the back 9,” coachHernandez said. “She finished strongwhen most would have wilted. Nicoleplayed consistent and is in con-

tention. Vanessa and Stella both im-proved greatly from the tournamentthat we played last week.”

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGNOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, pursuant to theMunicipal Code of the City of Claremont and theCalifornia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA),that the Planning Commission will hold a publichearing regarding a proposal from a private devel-oper (Taylor Morrison of California, LLC.,) toamend the approved Tentative Tract Map #68052involving properties located at 560 and 618 WestBase Line Road.The Planning Commission will conduct a publichearing to consider the subject application (File#TTM 68052AMD) and the related Addendum tothe previously approved Mitigated Negative Dec-laration on Tuesday, November 5, 2013, at 7:00p.m., in the City Council Chamber, 225 WestSecond Street. At this time all interested personsare invited to appear and be heard. The PlanningCommission is an advisory body on this matter and

will make a recommendation on the Tentative TractMap Amendment and the Addendum to the CityCouncil. A hearing before the City Council, who isthe decision-making body for the proposal, will beconducted at a later date.Approved ProjectOn July 24, 2007, the City Council approved the pre-viously proposed project and its associated TentativeTract Map, a Conditional Use Permit, a Variance anda Shared Parking Agreement. The approved projectconsisted of two commercial lots and one residentiallot. The commercial lots included adoptive reuse of two of the four existing historic structures locatedalong Base Line Road (foreman’s house and pumphouse) as commercial office use. The residential por-tion consisted of 60 residential, for-sale units de-signed as attached townhouses, lofts, or carriageunits. The remaining two historic structures (barns)were approved to be modified into residential units.All of the units were designated for sale at market ratewith the exception of eight units, which would be of-fered as moderate-income housing pursuant to theCity’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance and dispersedthroughout the project site. The ordinance requiresthat for-sale residential projects reserve 15 percent of the units at an affordable rate. Additionally, in ac-cordance with State Density Bonus Law, the ordi-nance mandates that development projects thatincorporate affordable housing, be entitled to otherincentives to help enable the construction of afford-able housing. These benefits were being utilized bythe developer in the approved project.Proposed AmendmentThe amended development plans include minor tech-nical revisions to the approved project, which consistof changes in lot configurations, site design and lay-out, unit sizes and types, and the adaptive reuse of two of the four historic buildings. The number of proposed units will remain at 60, which is consistentwith the approved project.Nine of the units would front Base Line Road, whichwould be accessed on foot by walkways connectingto the public sidewalk. Enclosed individual privatepatios would be located between the units and BaseLine Road. Parking for these units would be pro-vided by the attached parking garages at the rear of the units and accessed via an internal drive aisle forthe development. The remainder of the units wouldbe internal to the site, which also includes commonopen space areas and an internal walkway system thatwould provide access to the main entry of the units.These units would also include clearly defined indi-vidual private patios and attached parking garages.Residential buildings would be a mix of two andthree stories high buildings; however, three-storybuildings are internal to the site, where the perceivedheight of these taller structures is mitigated in part by

a grade difference of approximately 19 feet from theBase Line Road frontage.All units would continue to be for sale at market ratewith the exception of eight units which will be re-served as moderate-income housing pursuant to theCity’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance. Concessionswould continue to be requested by the applicant asincentives towards the development of the propertyper the City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance andState Density Bonus Law.The amended project would also continue to preserveand reuse all four of the site’s historic structures. Thetwo structures along Base Line Road (Foreman’shouse and Pump House) would continue to be usedfor commercial-office use; however, the two barnsare now proposed for long-term use by the commu-nity. The larger of the two barns would be used as acommunity center to compliment the common openspace that is proposed directly north of the building,and the other barn would be used as a carport and asmall picnic space.A hearing on the design elements of the project willbe conducted at a later date by the City’s Architec-tural Commission for which further notice will begiven.NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that pursuant tothe California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA),the City prepared an addendum to the adopted Miti-

gated Negative Declaration (MND) for the originalproject in order to address the proposed minorchanges to the approved project in relationship to theprevious MND, which includes minor changes topreviously adopted mitigation measures. An adden-dum to the adopted MND was determined to be theappropriate form of environmental analysis underState CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164,based on the findings and information contained inthe adopted MND, analysis of the proposed changesto the approved project, and the CEQA Statutes andGuidelines.Copies of the applications, tentative tract map amend-ment, technical studies and documents, and the MNDAddendum are available for review with the PlanningDivision located at Claremont City Hall, 207 HarvardAvenue. City Hall is open Monday through Thurs-day, 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. For more information,please contact Associate Planner Joanne Hwang at(909) 399-5353, or send written comments to P.O.Box 880, Claremont, CA 91711.In compliance with the Americans with DisabilitiesAct of 1990, any person with a disability who re-quires a modification or accommodation in order toparticipate in a City meeting should contact the CityClerk at 909/399 5461 “VOICE” or 1-800/735-2929“TT/TTY” at least three (3) working days p rior to themeeting, if possible.

I can't say enough about Mason's easy-going professionalism. Ihave worked with many real estate agents—buying and selling ahome—some good and some not so good, but Mason stands abovethe rest. Although a busy agent, he made us feel like we were hisonly clients. It is obvious that Mason takes pride in his work andhelped us through what has usually been a very stressful process. Wewere always informed, updated and met personally whenneeded. There was never pressure, unnecessary stress or unanswered

questions. I will recommend everyone I know to Mason!
