one hundred and tenth year, number 5

It wasn’t that long ago when Claremont, like oth-er cities in Southern California, made drasticplans to cut water consumption because of a

lengthy drought across the state. At that time we weredealing with water restrictions, brown parks and ex-treme fire danger from parched land in every di-rection.

Now in 2018, with no winter weather in sight, we are in for a hugecase of déjà vu, as summer-like high temperatures have almost be-come the norm.

Even with significant rain and snow last winter, just drive aroundto see how the drought impacted Mother Earth. The Thomas Fire—the largest in California history—destroyed more than 273,000 acresand 1,000 homes in December. But the damage didn’t stop there.

During a recent trip north to Yosemite Valley, I saw damage frombrush fires and drought all along the 250-mile journey to the na-tional park. Believe it or not, there were more than 9,000 fires inCalifornia in 2017, burning 1.38 million acres.

These staggering numbers pale in comparison to tree damage southof Yosemite, where more than 110 million trees have been eaten fromthe inside out by pine beetles. Years of drought conditions allowedthese beetles to live the good life, because so many trees were weakfrom lack of water. These insects are extremely difficult to fend off,with as many as 25,000 beetles inhabiting just one tree.

Since many of the damaged trees are located in remote, high el-evation locations, it’s nearly impossible to treat or even dispose ofthe millions of dead trees. So they sit and rot until they fall over.At more accessible areas, tree stumps can be seen everywhere. Thiseven includes Yosemite Valley, where work crews are cutting thou-sands of rotting trees in an effort to save healthy ones.

The snow pack this year in the High Sierra is only a fraction ofthe levels reached in 2016-17. Given this is the source of half ourwater each year, there’s increased cause for concern. Although thebeautiful waterfalls in Yosemite still flow, the runoff is so light ar-eas like Bass Lake—20 miles south of Yosemite—continue to shrinkas water flow is slowed to a trickle.

As global warming continues to heat up the earth, drought con-ditions will seriously impact California’s geography for decades tocome. This means the landscape, from the largest lakes to the denseuntouched forests, will be changed forever.Subscription boom

There’s something strange happening. As newspaper companiesendure more layoffs in 2018, cutting staffing to all-time lows, Jan-uary has actually been a record month for subscription paymentsat the COURIER. Tracking subscriptions year-to-year, month-to-

month, has been frustrating for this publisher, because it’s so dif-ficult to predict. Payments each month continue to vary, regardlessof sales in previous years.

Given the fact it’s harder each year to maintain paid circulation,the COURIER is rapidly becoming an anomaly in the newspaperindustry. Many community newspapers have changed to free dis-tribution in an effort to keep readership numbers up. Yet a coupleof weeks ago, we received payment for nearly 100 annual sub-scriptions in a single day! That’s a figure the Los Angeles Times wouldbe happy with.

Our staff thinks there may be two reasons for this sudden surgein popularity. One, with all the news of layoffs, cries of fake news,accuracy and transparency, residents see the importance of havinga high-quality community newspaper/website in their hometown.There seems to be a growing understanding for the value of accu-rate reporting. A strong community newspaper can also bring peo-ple together—something the current administration in Washingtonworks against.

Second, we changed our billing timing by not sending subscriptioninvoices as early. Now your bill is mailed the month a subscriptionends. This seems to have created more sense of urgency to pay andavoid missed editions. Of course we have received a few more callsfrom readers who let their subscription lapse, but it all works outin the end. Especially for one gent who was in hot water with hiswife because he didn’t pay their COURIER bill. We gave him copiesof those missed editions to keep things copacetic at home.

We do strive to keep our readers informed…and, in some cas-es, out of trouble.

The police station bond measurecampaign is in full swing, and itmade its debut to a receptive

crowd at the Democratic Club of Clare-mont meeting Monday evening.

Claremont Police Chief Shelly Vander Veen, MayorLarry Schroeder, Finance Director Adam Pirrie andcampaign co-chair Ed Reece spoke to the group aboutthe city’s need for a new police station and the intrica-cies of the bond.

Chief Vander Veen told the audience at Pilgrim Placethe current station was woefully inadequate. It was builtin 1972 and made for an all-male department with halfthe current force’s size—female officers change in alocker room in a separate portable building.

The facility can’t withstand current technology, shesaid.

“To put it simply, our dispatchers can’t turn on aportable heater because they’ll blow the circuit, so wehave to be very careful on things that we add to our ex-isting electrical system because it just can’t hold anymore,” the chief said.

The construction plan, if it passes, is to build the newfacility just west of the current station, move the de-partment into the new building once its completed andtear down the old station in favor of a parking lot.

Chief Vander Veen noted the cost and size of the cur-rent plan is a 45 percent reduction from Measure PS,which was rejected by the voters in 2015.

“We heard you, and we put a lot of work with the adhoc committee to come up with this design,” she said.

Mr. Pirrie went over the specifics of the fundingmechanism, which is a general obligation bond basedon the assessed value of a home.

The $25 million price tag includes $23.5 million ofdebt issuance and $1.5 million paid by the city for fur-niture, fixtures and equipment. This estimate assumesthat no grant funding would be available for the project,but the door is still open, Mr. Pirrie noted.

“That’s not to say we won’t continue to pursue these[grant] opportunities,” he said. “We will continue towork hard in Washington and at a state level to try andfind grants to fund as much of the project as we can.”

A GO bond, he said, was the most common form ofdebt issuance for this kind of a project. Under the terms

of the GO bond, colleges, churches, private schools andother nonprofits are exempt from paying into the bond.

The average payment would be around $24.47 per$100,000 of assessed value. A home with a $500,000assessed value, for instance, would pay around $155.55a year, Mr. Pirrie said.

Sandy Hester asked if there was a plan for low-in-come residents or those on a fixed income who mighthave trouble paying the bond.

“Will there be some kind of accommodation orprocess by which you’d consider maybe case-by-case?”she asked.

Mr. Pirrie said the city would have to look intowhether they could provide a subsidy for those whoqualify, but explained that it would come at a cost.

“The city would have to take money from the generalfund to make up the difference for those properties, butI don’t know at the moment whether that’s even possi-ble,” Mr. Pirrie said.

The meeting provided the public withan opportunity to weigh in on Golden StateWater Company’s request to increasewater rates.

Golden State filed an application withthe CPUC requesting to increase rates overa three-year period for service in Clare-mont. GSW proposed a 3.55 percent in-crease in 2019, a 4.39 percent increase in2020 and a 4.53 percent increase in 2021for Claremont’s residential customers.

The total increases could be 13 percentfor residential customers and 17 percentfor commerical customers.

Every three years, GSW is required tofile a general rate case (GRC) with the stateto propose a rate structure.

POLICE BLOTTER

AClaremont attorney pleaded nocontest on January 29 to stealingthousands of dollars from three

clients over two years.James Patrick Stoneman, 65, was sentenced under

a plea agreement to three years of summary probationand was ordered to pay $11,000 in restitution to thevictims, according to a release from the Los AngelesCounty District Attorney’s Office.

Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Stoneman'sthree felony charges were reduced to misdemeanors,

the DA’s office said.Mr. Stoneman was accused of stealing thousands of

dollars from three separate clients, who came to himto settle issues with their employers. Mr. Stonemanwould take the victims’ retainer fees and disappearwithout performing legal services.

According to one victim named in the initial com-plaint, Deborah Toga, Mr. Stoneman took her $3,000legal retainer fee and vanished, failing to provide anyservices despite multiple calls and emails.

“Once the check was cashed, he disappeared,” Ms.Toga said in a previous interview with the COURIER.

Mr. Stoneman even went so far as to shut down his

law office, according to the DA’s office.Mr. Stoneman was also accused of taking $5,000

from a second client and $3,000 from a third clientwithout performing any legal services, according todocuments from the California State Bar.

He was arrested at his Claremont home on the 400block of Potomac Way in August 2017.

Another State Bar document from September 2013alleged earlier instances of Mr. Stoneman taking feesfrom clients without providing legal services.

Mr. Stoneman was officially disbarred on March31, 2017. —Matthew Bramlett

Officers confirmed a burglary had happened, and began lookingfor the U-Haul. They found it in Upland near the intersection ofMonte Vista Avenue and Arrow Highway, police said.

The driver, 31-year-old Andres Osorio of Pomona, was arrestedfor commercial burglary and possession of burglary tools. Policealso said he is currently on felony probation for grand theft auto.

AClaremont Boy Scout willbe running a communityhealth fair this coming Sat-

urday, February 3 for his EagleScout project.

The fair, which runs from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.at El Roble Intermediate School, is the brain-child of 13-year-old Shahin Amani. Shahin’smother, Roya Amani, said the idea came to bethrough her son’s desire to help people.

“His goal is to be a doctor when he growsup, and by doing a health fair he’s helping peo-ple,” Ms. Amani said.

Shahin is working with Inland Valley HopePartners to offer free health screenings for peo-ple who attend. Shahin’s goal, Ms. Amanisaid, is to provide as many people with healthcare as possible.

A number of Claremont institutions are par-ticipating in the event, including Hendrick’sPharmacy, Keck Graduate Institute, ClaremontPharmacy, Claremont Orthodontics, Dr. PeterIgler, Wong Orthodontics, Summit Fitness and986 Pharmacy.

Ms. Amani also said that the ClaremontDoubleTree Hotel donated 500 cookies for theevent, and Yogurtland will be handing outcoupons for those in attendance.

Future Eagle Scout to hosthealth fair at El Roble

of the meeting, with many in attendanceasking how much the Colleges wouldpony up, if at all.

Mr. Schroeder said he would bemeeting with the Colleges the follow-ing morning—along with Mayor ProTem Opanyi Nasiali, City ManagerTony Ramos, Claremont Colleges CEOStig Lanesskog and Harvey Mudd Col-lege President Maria Klawe—to dis-cuss a possible contribution.

Mr. Schroeder said the Colleges havetalked about a “roundabout figure” of$1 million, though he hopes for more.

The Colleges have said previouslythey would only pay into the bond afigure equivalent to the percentage ofcalls for service to the campuses. Thatfigure hovers around three percent,which is equal to approximately$750,000.

Mr. Schroeder told the crowd that theClaremont Police Department’s influ-ence at the Colleges goes beyond just

911 calls. “We supply more than just serv-

ices—active shooter training, a lot oftime involved with bike thefts and otherthings to the Colleges,” he said. “So,we’re going to hit them hard tomorrowand see what happens.”

When the COURIER called Mr.Schroeder on Wednesday to ask aboutthe meeting, he would only say there

was an amount discussed, but nothingwas decided. He did not share what thatnumber was.

“We talked about their contributionand what that might be, and we’regoing to see what they come back withfrom the council [of college presi-dents],” he said.

Ms. Klawe was traveling on Wednes-day and was unavailable for comment.In a statement provided to theCOURIER, Mr. Lanesskog said the dis-cussion is still ongoing.

“We continue to be in discussionswith the city and at this time no deci-sion has been made about the potentialof a contribution from the Colleges tothe police department,” the statementread. “We appreciate being part of theconversation.”

Mr. Lanesskog was a member of thepolice facility ad hoc committee, a 15-member body that formulated the de-tails of this new bond measure.

Karen Rosenthal put forth the idea

that the “court of public opinion” couldbe used to get the Colleges to con-tribute, emphasizing that most residentswill question whether $1 million isenough.

“We love living in a college commu-nity, but they really should be doingtheir fair share,” she said.

Andy Winnick wondered why thecity hadn’t gone down other avenues,such as churches or other nonprofits, tolook for further contributions.

Mr. Schroeder expressed confidencethere would be many other fundingsources in the future if the bond werepassed, especially from county andstate officials.

“Once the bond issue passes, andyou’re a county supervisor or an assem-blyman or a state senator and you havesome controlled money, that’s a win-ning proposition to contribute to,” Mr.Schroeder said.



Mark your calendars, Clare-mont—CicLAvia is coming totown on April 22.

Around 30 residents gathered at the Hughes Centerto listen to representatives for the popular Los Ange-les outdoor event talk about the plan Wednesdayevening.

CicLAvia started in LA in 2010, but has its roots inBogota, Colombia, where city officials have shutdown streets once a week and on holidays since the1970s in favor of pedestrians and bicyclists.

“Essentially they said, ‘What would closing downstreets and opening them up to the people look like,’”CicLAvia Executive Director Romel Pascual said.

Activists who traveled to Bogota wanted to repli-cate the idea in LA, something that Mr. Pascual, whowas Deputy Mayor at the time, was initially skepticalabout.

“And we did it, and the result was, people showedup,” he said.

Since the first CicLAvia, there have been 24 eventsand 1.3 million attendees. Miles of city streets havebeen opened to the public to walk, bike, or ride anynon-motorized device along the route.

The plan for April’s event is to shut down BonitaAvenue and Arrow Highway from Cataract Street inSan Dimas to College Avenue in Claremont, a total of6.5 miles of open road through San Dimas, La Verne,Pomona and the City of Trees for anyone to join in atany time and at any point.

The streets will be open to pedestrians and cyclistsfrom 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The streets will close around 7a.m. to prep for the event, and will re-open at 5:30p.m. to normal traffic, Mr. Pascual said.

Once attendees reach College Avenue, they will bedirected north to First Street, where a combination ofSustainable Claremont’s Earth Day celebration andthe weekly Farmer’s Market will greet them.

Sustainable Claremont Executive Director SteveSabicer called the event “Village-palooza.”

Seven crossing points will be established for mo-torists to pass through—including Indian Hill Boule-vard and Towne Avenue in Claremont—with officialsdirecting traffic to keep things safe.

Four “hubs,” one for each city, will be establishedalong the routes. These hubs will have bicycle repairshops, safety presentations, first aid, informationbooths and games for families. Claremont’s hub willbe on First Street between Yale and College Avenues.

For those who can’t walk the entire length of theevent, several pedi-cabs will be dispatched to helpmove people along, Mr. Pascual said. CicLAvia iscalling this route “The Heart of the Foothills.”

This is the first time CicLAvia has ventured outsideof Los Angeles or any LA-adjacent cities, Mr. Pascualsaid. There were previous events in Pasadena and inCulver City, but none have taken place in the far east-ern reaches of LA County.

According to Mr. Pascual, Claremont first reachedout to CicLAvia for a possible event in town aroundfive years ago.

“It was like, ‘Claremont, it could work, but howcould we do it?’” Mr. Pascual said.

It took a partnership with the cities involved andsome planning from the San Gabriel Valley Councilof Governments to get the ball rolling.

In his presentation, Mr. Pascual touted the benefitsof getting rid of cars from the streets, including betterair quality, a more active population, a higher rider-ship for public transit and a positive impact on localbusinesses.

In fact, Mr. Pascual noted that local businesses

along Bonita Avenue and Arrow Highway would es-pecially benefit from the event, and encouraged thosebusinesses to set up tents along the route to encouragepeople to stop and shop.

Mr. Sabicer told the audience that this year’s EarthDay celebration will be moved to First Street to con-verge at the Claremont hub.

“Normally we expect four to six thousand people atEarth Day, this year we’re expecting well over20,000,” Mr. Sabicer said. “So it’s going to be a verydifferent experience.”

Mr. Pascual estimates that at least 40,000 peoplemight attend April’s event.

Four different “worlds” will focus on aspects ofsustainability—water, transportation, energy and en-vironmental education, Mr. Sabicer said. Around 80groups will be on hand to teach attendees about dif-ferent realms of living a sustainable life.

Mr. Pascual noted that volunteers from CicLAviawould be knocking on doors of homes along the routestarting in late February. Each home will be visitedtwice, he added, to let people know about the event.

In this era of “fake news” and biasednews sources of various ilk, it is diffi-cult at times to wade through the mis-

information to become informed by thefacts. Having been involved with historicpreservation for some time now, I haveobserved that there is much more misin-formation about the topic than there arefacts.

In order to navigate this topic it is important to un-derstand what makes a building historic. We are fortu-nate in the US to have nationally-accepted criteria thathelps us to determine the significance of an historicstructure. The National Park Service is responsible forthe National Register of Historic Places.

The process to nominate a historic place worthy ofpreservation starts with the State Historic PreservationOffice. Nominations go through the state office and, ifapproved, are then sent for review by the NationalRegister Office, which determines if the building willbe placed on the National Register.

Building is defined under the guidelines of the Na-tional Register as, “A building, such as a house, barn,church, hotel, or similar construction, is created princi-pally to shelter any form of human activity. Buildingmay also be used to refer to a historically and func-tionally related unit, such as a courthouse and jail or ahouse and barn.”

Buildings eligible for the National Register must in-clude all of their basic structural elements. Parts ofbuildings, such as interiors, facades or wings, are noteligible independent of the rest of the existing build-ing. The building as a whole must be considered andits significant features must be identified.

In the case of a building that has lost any of its basicstructural elements, it is considered a “ruin” and maybe categorized as an historic site. Typically, a buildingmust be at least 50 years old, must retain a high degreeof integrity and must have a certain level of historicalsignificance.

Examples of buildings under the National RegisterCriteria for Evaluation include an administration

building, carriage house, church, city or town hall,courthouse, detached kitchen, barn and privy, dormito-ry, fort, garage, hotel, house, library, mill building, of-fice building, post office, school, social hall, shed, sta-ble, store, theater or a train station.

In Claremont, we have a number of buildings thatare on the National Register that fall into the examplesabove including The Santa Fe Depot, Padua Theatre,Pitzer House and Renwick House. The other buildingsin Claremont that are on the Historic Register are list-ed as part of a “district.”

Under National Register criteria, “A district possess-es a significant concentration, linkage, or continuity ofsites, buildings, structures, or objects united historical-ly or aesthetically by plan or physical development.”Examples of this are the Russian Village District, In-tercultural Housing District and the Scripps CollegeHistoric District.

To qualify for the National Register, a property mustbe significant—it must represent a significant part ofthe history, architecture, archaeology, engineering orculture of an area. It must have the characteristics thatmake it a good representative of properties associatedwith that aspect of the past. In other words, it must beevaluated within its historic context.

Historic contexts are the patterns or trends in historyby which a specific occurrence, property or site is un-derstood and its meaning within history is made clear.Areas of significance can range from architecture toart to economics to industry, and from education tolaw to landscape architecture to religion. Local historiccontext represents an aspect of the history of a town,city, county, cultural area or region and is defined bythe importance of the property, not necessarily thephysical location of the property.

To be eligible for listing as an historic building on

the State or National Register, a resource must meet atleast one of the following criteria in conjunction withits historic context:

Criterion A: Is associated with events that havemade a significant contribution to broad patterns ofour history. Examples of this would be the long run-ning performances by the Mexican Players at the Pad-ua Hills Theatre, or the Santa Fe Depot because of theestablishment of the city by the railroad.

Criterion B: Is associated with the lives of personssignificant in our past. Examples of this would be thePadua Hills Theatre again because of the associationof Bess and Herman Garner or the Renwick House be-cause of Helen Goodwin Renwick and her contribu-tions to the development of the city, Pomona Collegeand the forerunner of Pilgrim Place, the ClaremontMissionary Home.

Criterion C: Embodies the distinctive characteristicsof a type, period or method of construction, or repre-sents the work of a master, or possesses high artisticvalues, or represents a significant and distinguishableentity who components may lack individual distinction.

Examples of this would be the Padua Hills Theatre,again because of its distinctive architectural features aswell as the architects who designed it, Marston andMaybury. The Scripps College campus qualifies underthis criteria because of its architecture and the architectwho designed it, Gordon Kaufmann.

Criterion D: Has yielded, or may be likely to yield,information important in history or prehistory. Exam-ples of this are typically not found in historic buildingsin Claremont. This criteria is more closely associatedwith archeological sites.

The mesa north of Foothill Boulevard and east ofIndian Hill where the golf course once stood and ishome to the Botanic Garden was occupied by indige-nous peoples, and could be a site that might yield im-portant information in history or prehistory.

Preserving historic properties is an important reflec-tion of our shared heritage. It helps us to rememberwho we are and from where we came as a people. Itcreates a common sense of place for the community.The noted architect, I.M. Pei, says it perfectly: “Archi-tecture is the very mirror of life. You only have to castyour eyes on buildings to feel the presence of the past,the spirit of a place; they are the reflection of society.”


What makes a building historic?by John Neiuber

All these political crazyups and downs every

day and night withpolls, yelling elected officials and critics iswearing me out. Withfootball, after a couple

of hours you get a winner and a loser.

Ellen Browning ScrippsDear Editor:

I would like to express my deep ap-preciation to the COURIER for puttingthe story of Ellen Browning Scripps intomy hands, to Professor Gayle Green forwriting the story, and to Molly McClainfor doing the painstaking research that ittook to document the remarkable life ofthe founder of Scripps College.

As I participated in the Women’sMarch this month I felt very keenly thespirits of our foremothers who hadmarched before us for safe working con-ditions, the vote, an end to child labor,and so much more. Yet I did not realize,until I read your article, that one of ourfeminist foremothers had brought us thebeautiful college that graces our city, andthat this was just one of her pioneeringaccomplishments.

Hopefully now that the story isknown, Ellen Browning Scripps will begiven the honor due to her by her collegeand by our community. Nancy Mintie

Making the Gold Line golderDear Editor:

As a student without a car, I utilizepublic transportation to explore placesin LA County and would like to sharemy perspective on the Metro Gold Lineconstruction.

First, Metro should end the line atPomona instead of Montclair. Overlap-

ping the Pomona to Montclair stretchthat Metrolink currently covers on theSan Bernardino Line would be counter-productive because it will do little to at-tract new users. Metro’s $279 millionshortfall to carry out its current planrisks construction delays, or worse, theproject’s elimination.

Trimming the line would substantial-ly reduce time and costs associated withbuilding new stations and massive park-ing structures and relocating existingtrain tracks. Rather, Metro should teamup with Metrolink to ease connectionsfrom Pomona to Montclair.

Second, in order to increase ridership,Metro and Metrolink need to build linesthat cut long-distance travel times sig-nificantly. For example, the quickest tripfrom Claremont to Anaheim takes 30minutes by car but at least two hours bytrain, because it has to first stop in LA.

A solution to form more direct pathswould be to construct a circular line thatsurrounds LA, such as London’s CircleLine.

Furthermore, Metro and Metrolinkneed to make public transportation farmore attractive if they truly want toboost ridership. Metrolink should rein-state express trains to cut down traveltime. Rail lines that connect people toLA’s major airports would be a wel-

come addition. Metro and buses should not only in-

crease frequency but also put more ef-fort into reliability and safety. My wishfor public transportation is that it willprove one can go green and save moneywithout making sacrifices.

The meaning of ChristmasDear Editor:

“Humbug!” to your correspondentfrom Colorado (Letters, December 22).The Grinch did not steal Christmas,though he tried. Nor did the organizersof Claremont’s tree-lighting ceremony,who didn’t try. They couldn’t.

As the Grinch came to realize—though not your correspondent, alasand alack—Christmas is not the trap-pings of Christmas, nor even the word“Christmas.” Christmas is “a little bitmore.” Charles Young

Claremont

A silver liningDear Editor:

There is a famous saying that everydark cloud has a silver lining. Thismetaphor simply denotes that there ex-ists a hopeful comforting aspect ofevery ugly event.

This phrase was well presented in afilm I saw at St. Mary’s CatholicChurch, The Sultan and the Saint.

This story is a drama that was playedduring the Crusades when the dialoguetook place between St. Francis of Assisiand Sultan Malik al-Kamil. Unlike the

hateful environment of killing and vio-lence, the role of the Sultan and theChristian leader St. Francis of Assisi,was an incredible act of reconciliationand affection amidst the looming cloudsof hate on both the Muslim and Chris-tian side.

It appeared that the clock started turn-ing backwards, and certainly love andaffection overpowered the warring fac-tions. I recommend every one to watchthis PBS film. We are indebted to St.Mary’s church for sharing this greatpiece with us.

History and these meetings are a liv-ing example that no mater what themagnitude of hate or propensity to fight,love still can over come and all the darkclouds that give rise to unstoppable ragecan calm down and bring humanity toreign supreme.

My friends, our motto, “Love for all,hatred for none,” is the best slogan tolive by especially in these days of self-ishness and cut-throat competition.

May God help us all in this new yearof 2018. Anwer Khan

OUR TOWN

Jack Harper, Claremont High School Associated Stu-dent Body Director and Hilary LaConte, vice presi-dent of the CUSD Board of Education (third andfourth from left), recently delivered shoes to supportCHS students who collected gently-worn and newshoes to benefit local youth and people in develop-ing countries.

Colonel Margaret Patricia Phillips, whodied peacefully November 19 at ClaremontPlace, was a member of “The GreatestGeneration.”

This group, “came of age in the 1940s,had survived the poverty of the Great De-pression to win a global war that cost 60million lives, while participating in themost profound economic and technolog-ical transformation in human history,”wrote Victor David Hanson. “Theirachievement from 1941 to 1945 remainsunprecedented.”

She was born June 23, 1923 in Detroit,Michigan, the eldest of four children toWelsh-born parents Gladys Rose Crowtherand Edwin Trevor Phillips. A set of iden-tical twins, Harry and Leyson, were heryounger brothers, and a sister, Martha,completed the family. She graduated fromDetroit’s Cooley High School in 1941 andentered Chicago’s Evangelical College,where she earned her nursing degree in1944. She entered active duty in theArmy Nurse Core as a registered nurse inearly 1945, and was commissioned as asecond lieutenant. She completed her ba-sic training at Fort McCoy, Wisconsin.

Col. Phillips’ army career lasted 32years, 10 months and seven days. Her firstactive duty was on Okinawa, Japan, dur-ing World War II. She often told a storyabout a night early on in Japan when sheand her fellow nurses heard gunfire,which they believed to mean the Japanesehad taken the island. But it turned out thatAmerican soldiers were firing their gunsin celebration because the war was over!

She served in Germany, Hawaii andJapan after World War II. Other tours ofduty included Vietnam, where she was pro-moted to Chief Nurse of Vietnam duringthat conflict. She was also appointedChief Nurse of Korea after the cessationof the Korean War.

In the 1960s, Col. Phillips settled inDenver, Colorado. She was a proud citi-zen of the Mile High City and relishedshowing visitors Denver’s historic Mol-ly Brown House and Brown Palace Ho-tel. She happily drove visitors through Col-orado’s Rocky Mountains and to see the

sights in Cripple Creek, Central Cityand Vail. She retired in 1978, completingher army career as chief of the nursing de-partment at Denver’s Fitzsimons ArmyMedical Center.

Col. Phillips received numerous medalsand awards throughout her military career.

During her World War II service sheearned the Asiatic-Pacific Theatre Oper-ations Medal, the American CampaignMedal, the Army Occupation Medal, twoOverseas Service Bars, a National DefenseService Medal with Oak Leaf Cluster andthe World War II Victory Medal.

In Vietnam she earned the VietnamService Medal with four Bronze ServiceStars, and the Vietnam Campaign Medalwith ‘60 Device. For service in Korea sheearned the Armed Forces ExpeditionaryMedal, the Army Commendation Medalwith Oak Leaf Cluster and the Legion ofMerit.

In retirement, civilian Col. Phillips be-came a member of the Staenberg-LoupJewish Community Center gym in Den-ver. She joined a water aerobics class,which she attended five days a week formore than three decades. She made manyfriends in water aerobics, and nicknamedtheir class “The Dancing Dollies.”

The same energy she had given to hermilitary career she transferred to her re-tirement, her family shared, becoming hercommunity’s neighborhood watch blockcaptain, working the polls during elections,volunteering at Ebert Elementary School,serving as the president of the RetiredArmy Nurse Core Association, attendingand volunteering at St. Luke’s EpiscopalChurch, participating in the Town Hall Lec-ture Series, and collecting used clothing forDenver’s Rescue Mission and the Centerfor Work, Education and Employment.

She was an animal lover, owned manydogs and cats over the years, and supportedher local animal shelter. She also becamea member of the Denver chapter of the Mil-itary Order of the World Wars. In 1998, thegroup presented Col. Phillips with thePatrick Henry Award for Patriotism.

Between all of these activities, she cre-ated and kept up ties with a large circle offriends from childhood and her many mil-itary placements around the world. Shewas an excellent role model for hernieces and nephews, her family shared,serving as a parental figure to all ofthem. She traveled extensively through-out her retirement, and enjoyed reading inher leisure time. She was especiallyproud that she was the grandniece of theWelsh poet, W. H. Davies, and tookpleasure in reading his work.

In 2014, Col. Phillips moved to Clare-mont Place. She was allowed to bring herdog, Winston (named after WinstonChurchill) to her new residence. Herniece and her niece’s husband lived justtwo blocks away, and they were lovingcaregivers, her family shared.

Col. Phillips attended Prince of PeaceLutheran Church in Covina with herniece, and was heartily welcomed into hernew church congregation. At ClaremontPlace, she partook in nearly every activ-ity offered. Along with her niece, shejoined water aerobics classes at Ability-First in Claremont. Col. Phillips also do-nated to Claremont’s Crossroads, Inc., anonprofit that assists women in transi-tioning from incarceration to economicself-sufficiency.

In May 2017, along with two otherWorld War II veterans, she joined theAmerican Legion’s Memorial Day cele-bration at Oak Park Cemetery in Clare-mont. During the observation the veteransshook hands with children and adults, whothanked them for their service. In July, sheand fellow World War II veteran Bill Hayesrode in Claremont’s annual Fourth ofJuly parade and were cheered enthusias-tically by the crowds along the route.

Her last few years were enjoyable as sheacclimated to California, her familyshared. She made new friends at Clare-mont Place, visited with family, attendedplays and concerts, and delighted in thebeauty and charm of Claremont, “the Cityof Trees and PhDs.”

Her family would like to acknowl-edge their appreciation for the love and nur-turing Col. Phillips received from the ex-ceptional staff at Claremont Place, andfrom VNA Hospice and Palliative Care ofSouthern California for their excellent careduring her time in hospice.

A private funeral, with full military hon-ors, including a gun salute, was held at For-est Lawn, Covina Hills on December 2. Atthe funeral, a release of 33 doves sym-bolized her many years in military serv-ice. A celebration of life was held January21 at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church. Atthis event, another 33 doves were released,and guests viewed Col. Phillips’ 2008 Li-brary of Congress interview for The Vet-erans Project, a video archive of storiesfrom World War II and Vietnam veterans.To view the segment, visit loc.gov/vets,click on “search the veterans collections,”and search for Margaret Patricia Phillips.

Col. Phillips often quoted a stanza byCanadian poet Edward Markham, whichwill be printed on her grave marker. It ex-emplifies how she lived her life, serving hercountry, inspiring others with her seeminglyinexhaustible energy, and giving her timeand resources to her community:

“There is a destiny that makes usbrothersNone walks his way alone.That which I put into the life of anotherComes back into my own.”

Claremont COURIER/Friday, February 2, 2018 11OBITUARIESEve Tessier

Mother, entrepreneur, longtime Claremont fixtureLongtime Claremont resident Eve

Tessier, 96, died December 17, 2017, inSalinas, California, where her son ThomasMiles Tessier lives.

Mrs. Tessier was born March 13, 1921in Sterling, Illinois. She traveled west dur-ing World War II to teach dance lessons atArthur Murray Dance Studios in LosAngeles and to entertain US troops prepar-ing for deployment in the Pacific. Duringthis time she also received her training asa cosmetologist.

In early 1945 she met Steve Tessier ata dance for servicemen at the HollywoodPalladium. They were married on March12, 1945, in Texas, where Mr. Tessier wasstationed as a flight instructor.

After the war, the Tessiers settled inClaremont, where they welcomed threechildren, Linda, Susan and Thomas. Theyran many enterprises over the years.

Mrs. Tessier worked for a short time inthe Village until opening her own salon onPadua Avenue, which became quite suc-cessful.

The Tessiers also ran an egg and poul-try ranch on Padua Avenue for many years.Mr. Tessier ran the ranch with the help ofthe family and delivered eggs and chick-ens to the local community. The Tessiers’entrepreneurial spirit and work ethic waspassed on to their children, the familyshared.

It wasn’t all work for the Tessiers.Their home was a hangout for local kids,who played in the then plentiful lemongroves, built forts, and one especially won-

derful tree house in a massive DeodarCedar tree in the family’s front yard.Neighborhood kids spent endless hourspretending that the tree house was every-thing from Fort Sumner, to the Alamo, toa spaceship bound for Mars, the familyshared. The Tessiers made sure that the treehouse was well built, safe and fun, theyadded.

“Mrs. Tessier always made sure that wekids had something to eat and were wellsupervised,” the family shared. “Shegave us the freedom to come and go, whilekeeping an eye out for our well being. Shewas a very attentive mother, not only toher own children, but also to all the kidsin the neighborhood. Another great thing

about the Tessier house was a color tele-vision, which was nearly unheard of inthose days. Additionally, two big sisterswith the largest collection of 45 rpm hitsof the day to listen to on the phonographwas a another big draw.”

Mrs. Tessier was always active inDemocratic politics. A polling stationwas located at the family home for manyyears before it moved to the fire station onPadua and Mount Baldy Road. She wasalso a devout Catholic, and was adamantabout her family attending mass. Later inher life she became quite active in Clare-mont’s Granite Creek congregation.

Mr. and Mrs. Tessier were avid bridgeplayers, and hosted many tournaments intheir home. There was always a supply ofonion dip and chips at these affairs. Mrs.Tessier also loved classical music, whichwas heard often around the home.

The Tessier kids were encouraged tolearn to play musical instruments, whichthey continued into their adult lives—Tomis accomplished on a number of stringedinstruments; Linda is a piano virtuoso; Su-san learned to play the violin and piano,and Mr. Tessier even played the harmon-ica. It was quite a musical family. Mrs.Tessier was also an avid dancer, a trait shepassed on to her kids.

She was president and/or active in thelocal PTA while her children were inschool, where she was known to be kindand generous, her family shared. Shewas also involved in Al-Anon andOvereaters Anonymous, and was a men-

tor for many people and families. “It did not matter what time of the day

or night, Eve was always available to giveadvice and encouragement,” her familysaid. “She was well liked and respected inthe community.”

In her later years, Mrs. Tessier was veryactive in Real Connections, a group forClaremont seniors. Its mission is to sharein camaraderie, outings, dances and socialevents and to help seniors live independ-ently. Real Connections gave Mrs. Tessierthe skills she needed to stay in the homein the city she loved so much, a gift forwhich the family is grateful.

Mrs. Tessier was preceded in death byher longtime husband, Steve Tessier.

She is survived by her children, LindaTessier of Pomona, Susan Cheverton ofBrea and Thomas Miles Tessier of Salinas.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks thatdonations be made in Mrs. Tessier’s nameto Real Connections at realconnec-tions.org/donate.

Mrs. Tessier’s memorial service isscheduled for 1 p.m. on Saturday, February17 at Claremont’s Center for Spiritual Liv-ing, 509 S. College Ave. The CSL was alongtime resource for the entire Tessierfamily, helping them deal with day-to-dayproblems as well as life changing chal-lenges, the family added.

A small reception will be held at thechurch following the memorial service.

The family would like to thank Grego-ry Wickes, who wrote this obituary.

Claremont High Schoolboys basketball is hav-ing one of the best

seasons in recent history and,if they keep winning, will adda Palomares League title ban-ner to the CHS gym.

Claremont and Diamond Bar cur-rently have the same league record, 5-2.However, the Brah-mas narrowly wonthe first time theteams met, so thePack is relegated to second place. Ifboth teams win this Thursday and nextTuesday, then the title game will takeplace next Thursday when Claremonthosts Diamond Bar.

But Claremont must first get by avery talented Bonita team and stave offan upset by last-place Ayala.

The Brahmas, meanwhile, will havea much easier time facing Ayala andsecond-to-last-place South Hills.

Claremont had a pretty easy time de-feating South Hills, 65-32, Tuesday atCHS. The Pack’s strong defense essen-tially shut down the Huskies all night,so it was just a matter of how hotClaremont’s shooting would be.

was slightly off, with the exception ofthree-pointers, which were spot on. Bythe third quarter, Claremont found itsgroove and really put the Huskiesaway, extending its already generouslead to 30-plus points.

Junior Matthew Dirckx led the Packin scoring with 12 points, followed bysenior Christian Jordan with 10. SeniorJacob Henry was golden in three-point-ers, going three for three. Jordan pulledin seven rebounds, Henry had six andfreshman Isaiah Love claimed five.

The team player award goes to soph-omore Joshua Chen, who contributedseven points, plus had four steals andfour assists.

If the Pack had one weakness Tues-day, it was shooting percentage. Onlytwo players, Chen and Nat Oluseyi-oke, cracked 50 percent.

“We have shown to be a pretty goodthird quarter basketball team, and theystay at it. I think the chemistry is out-standing with this group and I thinkthat has a lot to do with our success,”Coach Stan Tolliver said.

The Pack experienced several in-juries early in the season. In December,Jordan was out for eight games, whileHenry was out for several as well.

“We have not had our whole line upall year and we still have a couple of in-

GIRLS BASKETBALLClaremont won another league game

Tuesday, defeating South Hills, 60-49, athome.

The girls held on to a nice lead most ofthe game, but the Huskies made a come-from-behind effort in the final quarter, nar-rowing the Pack’s lead to just four points.

However, Claremont rallied, adding sev-en points in the final two minutes for thewin.

Sophomore Jessica Andrada led the of-fense with 16 points, followed by seniorCamille Troncone with 13, senior LaurelMarchant with 11 and freshman MaleahRichardson with nine.

Under Coach Mike James’ tutelage,Claremont has come a long way from pre-vious seasons, during which the girls lost

all of their league games. They seem to beimproving every week, even as league playwinds down. For example, first-placeGlendora stomped the Pack, 57-33, whenthe teams met in January, but last weekClaremont kept it close, losing 49-41.

“We really put a lot of emphasis earlyin the season on our defense—learninghow to help, learning how to trust each oth-er and work together. Then we spent thelast month or so getting into the gym andworking on shots. It’s all starting to cometogether at the right time,” Coach Jamessaid.

The girls’ league record now stands at3-4, which should be good enough for anat-large berth in the CIF tournament, ac-

cording to Coach James.If the Pack can win against Bonita on

Friday in La Verne, then the girls shouldhave sole possession of third place.

“I don’t want to be the one who has toplay us in the first round [of CIF],” CoachJames said.

BOYS SOCCERClaremont boys soccer is tantalizing-

ly close to getting a Palomares League ti-tle after handing undefeated Glendora theirfirst loss last week.

while hoping that Glendora, 7-1-0 loses one more. If theTartans tie one of their remaining games, they will sharethe title with Claremont.

GIRLS SOCCERThe stars aligned perfectly for Claremont High

School girls soccer last Thursday night in two unexpectedresults.

First, the Wolfpack stunned top-ranked and undefeatedSouth Hills with a 4-0 drubbing at home.

Senior Elisabeth Chua and junior Janelle Gutierrez eachscored twice with assists from junior Sophie Jones andsenior Lily Whitenack.

As the Pack celebrated their victory, last-place Dia-mond Bar upset second-place Glendora, 1-0. The sur-prising set of events put South Hills’ league title into ques-tion, if only for a short while.

As fate would have it, Claremont’s hopes of a second

straight league title were dashed Tuesday when SouthHills narrowly defeated Glendora, 3-2, putting theHuskies beyond reach.

Also on Tuesday, Claremont came up with a decisive,3-0, victory over Bonita in La Verne and regained sec-ond place. Goals came from Chua, senior Savanna Beansand freshman Emily Maass.

The girls are now 5-2-1 in league and 17-4-3 overall.

GIRLS WATER POLOClaremont clinched the Palomares League champi-

onship with a stunning 20-6 victory over Bonita on Tues-day, followed by a 15-5 thumping of Ayala onWednesday. The Pack, 7-0, has only one more leaguegame, putting them beyond the reach of Bonita, 5-2, evenif Claremont were to lose.

The girls had a remarkable season and are looking for-ward to the CIF tournament, which begins next week.

Claremont also has a very youngbasketball team, with six sophomoresand two freshmen.

Last year Claremont finished with an8-2 record, just behind the Bearcats,who were 9-1 and league champs.

“It’s been a balanced league, proba-bly more balanced than we have seen inthe past couple of years,” Coach Tolliv-er said. “We’ve got Bonita coming upnext, they’re one game out and they area good basketball team.”

The coach demurred when askedabout the prospect of a league title.“We’re pushing for it, but you’ve got totake it one game at a time.”

Claremont Real Estate Market Snapshot

What an incredible year for Claremont real estate! Sales, as well as prices, were way upon average over last year. There were several interesting trends of note in 2017—inventory, defined by the number of homes that were actively on the market for sale atany given time, only reached into the 70s for about 2 weeks of the year. The inventory forthe majority of the year fluctuated in the 60s. The year began much the same way that2018 appears to be doing so, with inventory in the 30s. Despite the lower inventoryavailable at any given time, sales were 9 percent greater in 2017 than in 2016. Thisindicates that homes were selling almost as quickly as they were entering the market. Itwas common throughout the year for homes to sell within 5-7 days of hitting the market,thus keeping inventory low, and sales high. Another big jump this year was in the averageprice of the homes that sold. Prices jumped 10 percent over 2016, in all price ranges.Running the numbers for the top 10 highest sales for both years revealed a 9.5 percentincrease in 2017, meaning that even when exclucing the highest sales, the marketappears to have jumped up about 10 percent over 2016. This is significant, and explainsthe much larger number of homes selling over $750,000. Interest rates remained at about4 percent throughout the year, which likely continues to contribute to strong sales. Moneyis cheap, and buyers are trying to take advantage of that as long as it lasts. The bigquestion is, “are we at the top?” If you had asked me the same question this time lastyear, I would have replied, “we just have to be,” yet another year passed with a rapidlygrowing real estate market. It’s anybody’s guess what will happen in 2018. Will this be theyear we hit the top, or will it continue to rise into 2019 and beyond?
