Alleged Cost benefit analysis for trash hauling
Dear Editor: The next time the Claremont City Council/City Manager directs staff to do a cost benefit analysis for any project it should request that it be done through a 23 page RFI (Request for Information) as opposed to a 128 page RFP (Request for Proposal). This would have saved the city $150,000 in staff time and not require the vendors to submit a $250,000 security deposit with their proposals. Whom are we kidding? The true intent of this RFP was to contract out Claremonts Sanitation Services. To try and explain otherwise is blatantly foolish.

August recess, was to contract out sanitation services lock, stock and barrel. That is clear in the issuance and content of the RFP. If it looks like an RFP, which the 128 page document clearly does, it is an RFP. The city council should immediately cancel the RFP and direct staff to return the $250,000 required of the contractors submitting bids/response to the RFP, apologize for putting them through this exercise. There is no need for the city to retain $1 million of their monies while a cost analysis is being conducted. Further, council should direct staff to develop a process and timeline for the cost analysis requested in February that includes the community stakeholders as committed at that time by the mayor.

predicate assumption may be correct. But the California Public Records Act doesnt allow agencies to make decisions on this basis. One element of genius of our participatory democracy is an informed electorate. How does the electorate get informed on this measure when the school district withholds information? The district is playing Hide the Ball and attempting to parcel out only information on Measure CL it deems favorable. The Claremont Unified School District is like the Black Hole of stellar physics: no light escapes.

The sanitation situation

Dear Editor: I am writing in response to the September 18, 2010 article in the COURIER on the Claremont sanitation situation. First, this document is clearly an RFP, consisting of 128 pages and very specifically soliciting responses from outside contractors (page 4/RFP). Further, the city required RFP respondees to provide a security deposit of $250,000 (page 7/RFP). A cost analysis does not require security deposits and those monies should be returned forthwith to those companies with an apology for putting them through this time consuming exercise. Secondly, in February, the city manager was directed to do a cost benefits analysis for sanitation not an RFP. The critical driver is not the collection, but the diversion of trash to landfills and its projected rising costs (tipping fees). Additionally, in these difficult budget times the expenditure of $150,000 (page 42/RFP) cited as the staff costs related to the RFP and the request for a one-time fee reimbursement to the city for that amount from the successful bidder might have been better spent. The city manager acted without any express approval of the city council, involvement of the Community Services Commission, and did not allow for any public input into the process. The RFP should be withdrawn and a new process created. This new process for the cost analysis should focus on the issues of diversion and rising tipping costs, be transparent and seek commission and community-wide input rather than be a unilateral action undertaken by the city manager.

If it looks like and RFP...

Dear Editor: I am writing in response to the Courier article, City continues to research sanitation situation. (September 18, 2010) If it looks like an RFP, is it a cost analysis? The City of Claremont is seeking proposals from qualified companies to provide collection, disposal, and processing of solid waste, recyclable materials, and green waste for its residential, multi family, commercial and industrial sectorsthe City of Claremont is looking for a service provider/providers who can deliver efficient service while meeting the recycling diversion targets set by the city, sate and federal government, The contractor selection process may result in a new contract for single family/multi family collection services and/or a separate contract for commercial/industrial collection services. (Page 4/RFP) At the September 14, 2010 City Council meeting, City Manager Parker went to great lengths to explain that the RFP is for the sole purpose of doing a cost analysis. Mr. Parker emphasized the RFP process was not to solicit bids for privatization but rather to gather accurate information for comparison with the citys cost of dong the work. (COURIER, September 18, 2010). No one is fooled by this. Staffs goal when they issued the RFP on August 3, 2010, while the City Council was on its

Black Hole
Dear Editor: On August 23rd and August 30th, I made two public record requests to Superintendent [Terry] Nichols, head of the Claremont Unified School District, for documents related to Measure CL, the school bond to be voted on November 2. My requests were simple, straightforward, limited and directly related to the financial and programmatic issues contained in Measure CL. California state law gives the school district 10 days to identify the documents I requested and even requires that Dr. Nichols or his staff assist in their identification on the theory that the district, not I, would be in the best position to know what is available. On August 27th and September 3rd I received form letters from the district saying they would provide the information in a timely manner and that was that. On September 13th I wrote again, reminding Dr. Nichols of my request and even attended the September 16th school board meeting to seek its assistance in releasing the information. Now, a week beyond that meeting, I have still heard nothing from the district. I can only conclude that the district is purposely slowrolling my request. I suppose there may be a calculation on the part of district staff that this particular citizen is unlikely to support Measure CL, so why give him any ammunition? The

API, AYP results show steady progress for CUSD
laremont Unified School District continues to make consistent gains in its yearly Academic Performance Index (API) and Academic Yearly Progress (AYP) measurements. CUSDs 2010 API growth score increased to 819 after a 2009 API base score of 818. The district also met its AYP targets with 69.6 percent proficient or advanced in English-Language Arts (56 percent target) and 63.1 percent proficient or advanced in Math (56.4 percent target) The district has made steady gains the last 8 years, said CUSD Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services Bonnie Bell. Our average (API) school gains have been 24 points. All the schools have had growth. Claremonts API score is part of an ongoing increase for the district since its 2004 API base score of 780. This years data indicated that the district had API improvements among the Hispanic/Latino (758 to 766), socioeconomically disadvantaged (736 to 743) and students with disabilities (656 to 670) subgroups. Condit Elementary School (919) and Chaparral Elementary School (905) were the only 2 CUSD schools to post an API score above 900 points. Chaparral also earned a 900 for its 2009 API base score. Along with Condits 28-point jump, Oakmont Outdoor School also had an identical increase from its 2009 API base score of 743 to a 2010 API growth total of 771. Vista del Valle Elementary School featured the biggest jump of all CUSD schools by earning a 2010 API growth score of 82050 points more than its 2009 API base score of 770. We did hear the report that Vista grew from 770 to 820that is remarkable, said CUSD Superintendent Terry Nichols at the last CUSD board meeting. Its not

unexpected but its a remarkable gain in one year. Claremont High School (804 to 799), El Roble Intermediate School (821 to 810) and Mountain View Elementary School (862 to 858) featured slight declines in their 2010 API growth scores. Though Danbury Elementary School fell from 895 to 865 and San Antonio High School dropped from 586 to 474, the 2 schools are measured differently due to their smaller student populations. Its an alternative measurement methodology because the schools are so small that one failing student could significantly impact or skew the data tremendously, Ms. Bell explained. When you have a lot of students, one failing student wont have as much as an
impact. Though CUSD had more than enough students at proficient or advanced levels in English-Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics, the district failed to meet 7 of its 38 AYP criteria. Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino and Socioeconomically Disadvantaged students did not meet the 2010 AYP criteria in math, while English Learner and Students With Disabilities subgroups failed to meet the proficiency requirements in both ELA and Mathematics. Condit (83.6 percent in ELA, 84.6 percent in Math) and Chaparral (81.5 percent in ELA, 79.1 percent in Math) led the district with the highest proficiency percentages. Another highlight for CUSD was Vista del Valle meeting its AYP target in ELA for the first time in 3 years with 65 percent of its students being proficient or above. While Vista del Valle is frozen in its Program Improvement status due to last years improvement, Oakmont entered into the first year of Program Improvement this year. Oakmont failed to meet its AYP target in math for the 2nd straight year due to just 49.8 percent of its students being proficient or above. Ms. Bell believes that while the scores are a significant measurement of school success, other factors are just as important. We always want to look at multiple pieces of information, she said. The data comes from one day, one moment in time in the learners life. Its just one snapshot. We make sure that we also look at the patterns and trends over timeat least 3 years of data.

he Claremont Day events kicked off at the Grand Stand where one of the 11 horse races on Thursday was dedicated to Claremont. Those in attendance cheered on their favorite horses and some made a few wagers to make things interesting. The winner was horse number 4, Thrice the Vice, followed closely by Bubsy and Sincity Glow.

The gallery currently has an exhibition entitled, From the Industrial Age to the Computer AgeThree Centuries of Artistic Innovation. Following the reception and a parade that featured Claremont schools marching bands and dancers, the Claremont Community Heroes were honored in a ceremony. Langston Coleman-Brown, Rosemary Henderson and Chuck Farritor were honored this year for their service to the community. They were given certificates from the city, state senate and from the fair. I was surprised, please and very honored to receive this award, Ms. Henderson said. I love what I do and I love Claremont. I wouldnt live any other place.

Taking my art on the road

by Jan Wheatcroft
am up to my armpits in beads, fabric, recyclable bits and pieces and yarn. It is the season for creating new art pieces, finishing projects, and presenting my art to the public.
I eat my meals amongst the collection of materials I am working with at the moment. I play with an array of colorful fabrics trying to create a design which comes near to what I have already created in my head. I make lists of what I need and want to make. I make drawings of ideas some of which I find years after I drew them and often need to toss as I no longer remember what they were to be. Now the weavings and collages are framed, the assemblages are standing at attention ready to go and the jewelry pieces are boxed and bagged in their containers. It is time to consider where, when and how they will be exhibited. Sometimes I answer a call for art at a local gallery such as Bunny Gunner in Pomona in response to a specific show topic. It is always fun to work to specific requirements such as size or theme. That can either stretch the mind or make it easier to create within the boundaries set by others. My art partner, Helen Feller, and I offer such a show in November of each year which is open to anyone who wants to contribute an art piece following a theme which we set. We have come up with some good ideas over the years, such as WORD or CIRCLE and this year the theme is ITS A WRAP, (anything that is wrapped or is the wrap). Helen and I have our own big show opening next month. This year things are very different from all the years past, due to the fact that the Claremont Forum, where we have always had the show, does not have a gallery space to hang art work at this time. They put the Thoreau Book Store into the gallery space cutting back in space and cost, making a larger book store but a nonexistent gallery.
So we had to look about and find a space suitable for an art exhibit. We started out looking in the Village areas but each place that seemed to be empty and suitable was already taken, we were told. We only needed to rent a space for 4 days; one for set up and 3 for the show. It became quite stressful as the time went on, as we wanted to get our postcards made but had no address to put on them. Finally, through contact with a friend, Doug McGoon, a place was found up on Foothill Boulevard, just west of Baskin Robbins. It is a large space with lots of light and large windows and gobs of parking next to it. And renting it for just a few days was acceptable as well. This was the first time that trying to set up a show became so stressful. This show, which we have entitled, Material Girls III (its the 3rd year we have done it) opens on Friday, October 1 and runs until Sunday, October 3. It started out being all about fabric but the material has stretched to miscellaneous collections of junk, beads, boxes and a whole range of other things. This has been my life for the past 3 months. Of course these next months are the season for fairs and selling and holidays and all the work which goes along with it. Even our Gypsy Sisters Art Faire the first weekend in December has physical challenges to it. Again since the space at the Claremont Forum became limited we had to struggle to find another space
in the Packing House where it is held to be able to provide wall space for many of our Gypsy exhibitors. At first we thought we had a place next door and we breathed many sighs of relief, but that idea collapsed and put us in a frenzy of looking about for another place or perhaps having to cancel what has almost become an institution in Claremont twice a year. It is one thing when you just work on your own exhibition but quite another when there are 26 other artists depending on your arrangements. We were finally able to secure a space at the Packing House which will becoming empty after the middle of November and we were able to work through that problem. There is a difference in setting up your own shows versus entering shows that others have put together. Helen still does The Village Venture in October, I dont anymore. I do a day fair at The Claremont Club for a few of my things, and also for Claremont Heritage. All of the arrangements are taken care of by someone else. I just pack, unpack, display (hopefully sell), repack and repeat. There is an art to packing in general. I have found that I am not very good at it for traveling, always taking more than I actually need. I can barely separate myself from many pieces of clothing and things that I might need. When I pack my art pieces and displays I try so hard to limit the packaging to make the loading and unloading easier. I have never found the best way in all the years of taking my things from show to show. As they say, The show must go on and even if I had to strip the walls in my home so that we could have our exhibit, it will happen. Our lives revolve around thinking, creating, producing and displaying the best that we have to offer. It is what we do and how we organize our days and evenings. It can become quite a challenge as we have learned this summer. Luckily we are up to challenges. We just work harder.
Hey man, whats going on up there? Im even getting credit for lots of the crazy stuff you are messing up everywhere.
Measure CLThe right thing to do for Claremont schools

by Bill Fox, Lee Jackman and Michael Seder, co-chairs, Yes on Measure CL
ts no secret that state budget cuts have taken a toll on school funding throughout California. That impact has been felt in our local Claremont schools as well. Earlier this year, we were asked to join a larger committee organized to assist the Claremont Unified School District in conducting a funding needs analysis and explore whether a local funding measure might be possible and advisable.
Like many others, we highly value Claremonts public schools. As community volunteers (the 3 of us have children or grandchildren attending Claremont schools), weve helped support our students and schools through our participation in Claremont Educational Foundation, Parent-Faculty Associations, booster clubs and other school-site volunteer assignments. We were happy to serve on this committee at such a critical time for our local schools. As volunteer members of this committee, we saw up close the challenges of reduced local school funding. We learned that state cuts havent just impacted teachers and classroom materials, theyve also impacted school facilities as well. As state funding has continued to be cut, previously available resources for ongoing basic maintenance, repairs and modernization, and
view point
funds for investing in classroom technology have been eliminated. This trend will continue into the foreseeable future. We walked through classrooms, halls and schools, visited with teachers, staff, students and parents and reviewed our findings regularly at public workshops and school board meetings. We recommended to the Board of Education that Claremont schools implement a longrange plan for vital repairs and upgrades that does not rely on state funding to ensure a safe, 21st-century learning environment for our students. We recommended that the school board put Measure CL on the ballot, and now were committing our time as volunteer co-chairs of the Yes on CL campaign because we know first-hand how important this measure is to Claremont kids. Measure CL focuses on 4 areas: Technology, Safety/Repairs/Modernization, Sustainability, and Retiring operating debt and leases. Measure CL will improve Claremont classrooms by upgrading outdated instructional technology, improve student safety by removing lead and asbestos at older sites where it is still present, retrofitting old classrooms to meet special academic purposes such as science, engineering, technol-
ogy, art, music and language labs. Outdated heating, cooling and ventilation systems will be replaced with energy-efficient units. Upgrades will be planned with the counsel of sustainability experts, and are expected to significantly improve energy efficiency and environmental sustainabilitysaving money for decades to come. Measure CL will also retire operating debt and leases, freeing up scarce funds to help support academics and classroom programs. The timing for Measure CL is now. Today we have historically low construction costs and interest rates, and moving forward now will allow us to take advantage of this economic climate to make the most of our bond funds. Measure CL will have a high level of accountability. If passed this November, a volunteer, independent citizens oversight committee will be formed to ensure that funds are spent as voters intend. Annual, public audits will ensure wise Measure CL spending. Measure CL is an investment with good return. It will help us retain the high quality of education our students, our local schools and our entire community deserve and expect. We cant afford to let the state of California decide the future of our schools and our students. We hope you will join us in supporting and voting yes on Measure CL on November 2nd. For more information, please visit the Measure CL website at: www.SupportClaremontSchools.org.

CUSD/CHS needs leadership (part one)

Dear Editor: Measure CL is another attempt to bail out CUSD. Over the past 10 years, the high school has lived on a hollow and vacant dream. On the outside, it appears CUSD has supported the visual and performing arts programs, and that CHS is one of the best and we are an academic school. Meanwhile, the buildings continue to rot, just like our API scores. First of all, let me clarify my potential bias. I was the band director at CHS for 9 years. During that time, our programs moved into national rankings, while supporting a wonderful special education music program, musical orchestra and we even started the Jazz Band! One of best, yes, we actually started to live up to that vision. Our programs were advertised for Measure Y and other feel good announcements that seemed to hide something not as pleasant. Here are some interesting facts that really showcase the lack of educational leadership that is historic and systemic at CHS: The main office has been fully renovated 3 times, a new field was celebrated, a wonderful science building was built with many of the quads updated (much needed), and many more partially and half finished projects were left as the money ran out. One day, the arts and music teachers came to the office and looked at building plans for a performing arts complex that included a new theater, lecture hall, music rehearsal rooms, offices, everything that should be at such an amazing school. I remember the excitement, then the let down. Yes we will have to fundraise 3

million dollars to make this happen. Really? The answer? We sold 25 or so bricks. No joke. But, hey, the office looked nice. Then came talks about the IB program. How cool. Yes, finally some academic challenges for many of our kids who are also in the arts. Year after year, we looked at PE credit (second year only, without a PE credential) for the band, color guard, dance, theater, etc. Oh, we dont do that. We cant do that. You dont know what you are talking about. Guess what? PE credit for the arts is everywhere. The result is more kids in the arts and stronger participation in other core academic programs. Take a look at CHS, a close look. There are amazing teachers, despite the threat of being fired if you dont toe the line and amazing kids. The theater and music buildings are embarrassing and probably should have been torn down years ago. CUSD and the CHS administration are accountable for this culture of mistrust, fear and dishonesty. Why would anyone support Measure CL? Lets be clear, I have 2 kids in Claremont schools, I live here, I am On the Bus, we helped to Save our Schools, we do our best to pay the band contributions, and we love this town. But, there needs to be reform from the inside to support the low teaching morale apparent at CHS. Perhaps with a truly supported music and arts curriculum, the test scores will also improve...but thats another story. Get your house in order then come back to us. Time for tough love.
Thomas Garvin CHS Band Director 2000-2009
Stop forgetting the cartoons!

Dear Editor: I really must complain about the sloppiness of those who prepare Courier pages for the printer! As has happened on many, many other occasions, all the cartoon panels that came with the latest installment of Douglas Lyons famous strip, Lyon Down With Fools, Getting Up With Ideas, were left out! To add insult to his injury, you printed, yet again, these humorous discourses from the lighter-side of his mind in the section reserved for comments by your more thoughtful readers! Please, please, please make sure that the next installment of his strip is printed, with their cartoons, on the comic page where they belong. After all, his latest ruminations make absolutely no sense and thus they need those drawings. Thank you in anticipation of an errorfree next issue.

Cruise Night. Sandy, at the Village Grille, deserves to have the support of the community and local businesses in the Village. This event (that happens only once a month from April to October) brings the community together for socializing in a fun, safe, family environment and brings customers to many businesses within the Village. I, for one, hate to see this event come to an end. Some of the other Village businesses should step up and help out with the costs for this event, and help with getting the support of the city. For anyone who has attended the Village Grille Cruise Night, you can see that it is a successful event and brings many people to the Village (with or without classic cars). As Mr. Heminger mentioned, the owners of these classic cars put a lot of time and money into them. And Cruise Night offers an opportunity for the owners to show off their investments. This event does not bring any harm to the community, the residents or the local businesses. Please show your support and help keep the Cruise Night alive!!

Danbury students make Claremont Day their own
nother name for Thursdays Claremont Day at the Fair could have been Danbury Elementary School Day at the Fair.
All 70 students from the specialized school for students with physical disabilities and health impairments took part in this years Claremont Day at the Fair, the annual event honoring the city of Claremont during the Los Angeles Country Fair. The students accompanied their teachers and parents and took in a plethora of activities and events the Fair had to offer for approximately 4 hours. Hats off to the L.A. County Fair for providing the busing for us because if they didnt provide the busing, it would be tough to do this, said Danbury principal Stephen Hamilton. Our kids have read and talked about some of these things in the classroom and now they get to see them. Our kids need that. V. Amarasekaras 2nd and 3rd class arrived on the fairgrounds shortly after 10 a.m. Her group walked through the FairView Farms area, where they encountered various animals including bunnies, geese, chickens, sheep, goats, pigs, donkeys, horses and cows. The class of 8 students attended a cowmilking show put on by the Dairy Council of California. The 15-minute presentation provided a spectators view of how a cow is milked using a milking apparatus. General cow information and facts were also presented during the show. This is my 2nd time at the Fair and I liked it when they milked the cow, said Danbury student Matthew Rubalcava. I didnt like anything else, just the cows. Though Ms. Amarasekaras class also visited other exhibits that fit into a California theme, the highlight for students

The students spent a couple of hours at the fair visiting the animal exhibits and having lunch.
such as Arturo Mascareno and Samanatha Rodriguez were the animals. Like his classmate Matthew, Arturo also enjoyed the cows. I liked learning how they were taking out their milk, Arturo said. Thursdays tour allowed the class to see 3 different sizes of pigs. The 8 students saw piglets as small as chihuahuas, medium-sized pigs and hogs as large as Great Danes.
I really liked the big pigsIve never seen pigs like that before, Samanatha said. Along with parent support for the field trip, Ms. Amarasekara also enlisted the help of Claremont High School students Katie LaVeaux and Austa Clausen to volunteer with the students. The CHS juniors are members of the Best Buds Club, which allows CHS members to assist special education students on campus.
We had an opportunity to help with the Danbury kids so we decided to come out, Katie said. This was our first time working with students outside of Claremont High School. Best Buds is a really good program and we have so much fun. Its rewarding. Though she and her students had fun visiting several exhibits and attractions, Ms. Amarasekara said the content was in line with the current lessons she is teaching in her class. What were seeing today ties into the curriculum were doing on California, Ms. Amarasekara said. Weve seen agriculture, weve seen things about Mexico and weve also observed trains. When we come back, well talk about everything we saw today and how it relates to what were studying.

Marcia Doss
Marcia Doss, longtime Claremont resident and deans office employee at the Claremont School of Theology (CST), died of cancer in her Pilgrim Place home on September 19, 2010. Born in Stanford, Illinois on August 5, 1937, Ms. Doss came to California in 1965, living in Claremont intermittently until settling here in 1974. She raised her 2 children in Claremont, both of whom graduated from Claremont High School. Four years ago, she moved to Pilgrim Place. Ms. Doss began work at Claremont Graduate School (now University) assisting Joseph Hough, currently interim president at the university. When Mr. Hough became CSTs academic dean in 1973, she transferred to the school as his administrative assistant. During her 34 years at CST, Ms. Doss served 5 deans: Joseph Hough, Allen Moore, Marjorie Suchocki, Jack Fitzmier and Susan Nelson. She was so efficient,
School of Theology deans assistant, well-loved colleague

noted Ms. Suchocki, that the community began to suspect that she was the de facto dean, and that those 5 actually all served her. Her capacity to organize, to supervise the faculty secretarial staff and generally to manage the innumerable details of assisting a dean contributed greatly to the effective operation of the whole academic program of the school, Ms. Suchocki commented. But Ms. Doss contribution to the school went well beyond the deans office. Faculty, staff and students throughout the years found in her a listening ear, a willingness to help and a calm, supportive presence. Those who worked with Ms. Doss praised not only her competence, her loyalty, her confidentiality and her integrity, but also her capacity to participate in strong and enduring friendships with her colleagues and supervisors. For many years, Ms. Doss was an acMs. Doss is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Cheryl Doss and Douglas Gollin of New Haven, Connecticut; her son, Gregory Doss of Dana Point; her 3 grandsons, James Doss-Gollin, Simon Doss-Gollin and Hudson Doss; her brother and sister-in-law, Joe and Shirley Schmidgall; and her sisters and brothersin-law, Georgia and Dick Loy, Phyllis and Ron Howard and Sharon and Bob Midgyett. A memorial service will be held at 3 p.m. on October 3, 2010, at Claremont United Church of Christ. Memorial contributions may be made to the Claremont United Church of Christ, 233 Harrison Ave., Claremont, CA 91711; or to the Claremont School of Theology, Development Office, 1325 N. College Ave., Claremont CA 91711-3199. Checks should be made payable to Claremont School of Theology with the words Marcia Doss Memorial Garden on the memo line.

Judith Merkle Riley, international bestselling novelist and longtime professor of political science at Claremont McKenna College, died of cancer on September 12, 2010 in Claremont. She was 68. Ms. Riley, who taught under her maiden name, joined the government department faculty of Claremont McKenna College (CMC) in 1982. She taught in the areas of organization and management, public and comparative administration, and American government. She also joined the faculty of Claremont Graduate School (now University) at that time. She then became the first tenured woman in the government department at CMC. Ralph Rossum, the Salvatori Professor of American Constitutionalism at CMC and a close friend who attended church with Ms. Riley, remarked, Judith was a very bright, determined woman. Whatever
Judith Merkle Riley

professor, novelist, chorale vocalist
she put her mind to, she was extraordinarily good at doing. Additionally, Ms. Riley brought a lively spirit to the academic environment, as noted by James Nichols, CMC government professor. I have recurring memories of laughing together at the end of the 2nd floor in Pitzer Hall, he said. Between 1988 and 1999, Ms. Riley published 6 historical novels: A Vision of Light, In Pursuit of the Green Lion, The Water Devil, The Oracle Glass, The Serpent Garden and The Master of All Desires. In the New York Times Book Review, A Vision of Light was praised as rich with the ambiance and flavor of the Middle Ages... a 14th-century story told with a 20th-century sensibility. And the Los Angeles Times proclaimed the book fascinating and factual... if all chronicles of earthly life were recorded with such drama, flair, and wit, the world would be filled with history majors. Ms. Rileys subsequent novels were equally well-received: The Oracle Glass was described as intelligent, witty and elegantly written by the San Francisco Chronicle, and The Master of All Desires was praised as a tightly woven, suspenseful and fiendishly funny novel in Publishers Weekly. Longtime friend and colleague Ward Elliott remembered that, Judith was a supremely gifted storyteller, teacher and colleague, with penetrating social science insights as to the various ways that people arrange their lives, with a special flair for the odd, outlandish, dramatic, and funny ones. She had a wicked, perceptive sense of humor and a native cheerfulness and zest which she kept to the end. Ms. Rileys agent, Jean Naggar, also overflowed with praise for Ms. Rileys works of fiction. Her wonderfully entertaining historical novels are marked by her deep understanding of life and the human condition, Ms. Naggar commented. Her remarkable talents as a storyteller rely on her relentless research, her intellectual rigor and her wry satiric wit. Her characters sprang off the page with the vigor, courage and warmth that were so much a part of Judith herself. Ms. Riley is also the author of one nonfiction work, Management and Ideology: The Legacy of the International Scientific Management Movement. The Times Literary Supplement declared it an important book in its 1981 cover review. Ms. Riley was a longtime member of the Claremont Chorale and sang in the choir at St. Marks Episcopal Church in Upland. But her artistic interests went beyond music. In her younger years, she was a flamenco dancer, and research for one of her novels led to an interest in stained glass art, which she created until recently. She received her bachelors degree and PhD from the University of California, Berkeley, and her masters degree from Harvard University, where she was in the first class of women admitted to the masters program in Soviet regional studies. After completing her masters degree, Ms. Riley worked for the US Navy Department as an intelligence analyst. Of interesting note in her family, Ms. Rileys great uncle was the major league baseball player, Fred Merkle; her father, Theodore Charles Merkle, ran Project Pluto and was the associate director of the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory; and her brother, Ralph Merkle, is a pioneer in public key cryptography and molecular nanotechnology. Ms. Riley is survived by her daughter, Elizabeth; her son, Marlow; her 2 grandchildren; and by her 2 brothers. A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, October 2, 2010 at St. Marks Episcopal Church in Upland.

introduced to the menu. Joining us were food expert Laura Cayley, owner of Spanish restaurant Viva Madrid in the Village, and Debbie Barker-Benfield, a registered dietitian for the last 32 years. Both women agreed to sample all the goodies the fair has to offer, from bacon-wrapped Oreo cookies to deep friend peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, fried pickles and chocolate-covered bacon. The first over-the-top items to be sampled courtesy of Chicken Charlies were the deep-fried White Castle cheeseburger and the Krispy Kreme chicken sandwich, a chicken patty served on a jelly donut bun and served with a side of honey. Each item cost $7. Ms. Cayley actually enjoyed the burger, but complained about the excessive amount of grease that oozed out of the burger and onto her hands. I feel like my esophagus is lined with grease, she said after sampling her portion. Ms. Barker-Benfield said deep-frying a food could triple its fat content. She estimated the burger and sandwich contain about 1000 calories each and exceed the daily recommendations for fat and sodium content. Both tasters complained that the Krispy Kreme donut was stale, the chicken patty was processed and the side of honey was totally unnecessary. This was just plain gross, Ms. Barker-Benfield said. To round out the day of indulgence, other sampled items included shots of cupcake frosting, deep-fried avocados with Ranch dressing and a deep fried peanut butter and jelly sandwich. The hands down least favorite item was the chocolate covered bacon. Three strips can be purchased for $5.25. Ms. Cayley complained about the poor quality of both the chocolate and bacon and lack of salty flavor that could have salvaged the dessert. If youre going to eat chocolate, eat dark chocolate, Ms. BarkerBenfield added. Its healthier than milk chocolate...especially milk chocolate with a piece of bacon in the middle.

Young team still aiming to fulfill potential after loss
sportinglife
Captain Lindsey Heminger communicates with coach Chris Duarte-McDermott on Tuesday during the Claremont Highs School Girls volleyball game against Bonita High School.
laremont High School girls volleyball coach Chris McDermott said his team has plenty of potential, but must realize that same potential on the court to be successful.
Yet Bonita refused to let the Pack turn the corner on Tuesday as the Bearcats stayed one step ahead of CHS in a 3-game sweep at Claremont High Schools main gymnasium, 25-13, 25-16, 25-20. The girls play so well in practice, if only we can transfer that to the court, said Coach McDermott. Were a young team and this is definitely a rebuilding year. We have 2 seniors, 3 juniors, 6 sophomores and 3 freshmen. The Wolfpack (4-3) graduated 7 seniors from last years team that went to the CIF playoffs. Only 5 of the 14 players on this years roster are either juniors or seniors.
COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff Claremont High School girls volleyball coach Chris Duarte-McDermott talks with his team on Tuesday during a time out from their game against Bonita High School in Claremont. The Bearcats beat the Wolfpack 3-0.
Hitting errors and inconsistent ball handling hindered Claremont throughout the match. CHS committed 35 total errors against Bonita in categories of hitting, serving, serve receiving and blocking. The Packs mistakes prevented CHS from remaining competitive with the Bearcats in all 3 games. Trailing 13-12 in the first game, a bad serve and 3 hitting errors were instrumental in increasing the deficit to 21-12 just minutes later. After taking a 3-2 lead in the 2nd frame, the Wolfpack surrendered 3 points through a service
error, hitting error and a kill to fall behind for the reminder of the game. In the final game, Claremont jumped out to a 2-0 advantage before 2 hitting errors allowed Bonita to tie the game and eventually take the lead for good for the match win. I think games like this will motivate us and well have to work really hard over the next 2 weeks to be prepared for our next one, said Claremont outside hitter Taylor Scott. We need to work on our communication. We do know each other well and have a good feel for each other but we havent been able to show that in our games. Teammate Briana Holmes and Scott led CHS with 8 and 7 kills respectively. Rylee Jackson dished out 26 assists and Lindsey Heminger contributed 5 digs. The Pack will not compete again until October 5, when the team will open up Sierra League play at Chino Hills. Even with Tuesdays loss, Briana believes the team can still realize its potential as the season progresses. I think we have really good team chemistry, she said. We just bonded really well over the summer and Im excited because I think we can be a threat. Were young and athletic. Were kind of the underdogs and I think we can come out on top and show the other teams that were mature for our age. The road to CIF wont be easy for the Wolfpack. Claremonts league opponents include Ayala, Charter Oak, Chino Hills, South Hills and St. Lucys. Coach McDermott is still keeping his expectations high for his team this year and believes his team should be in the playoffs at seasons end. At the very least we should make the CIF playoffs but were definitely shooting for the league championship, he said.
