Dear Editor:
Mark Merritts letter What climate
change? in the September 18 issue of
the COURIER illustrates well the confusion of some folks between local
weather and global climate. A one-day
local rain in southern California does not
offset meteorological conditions in
Africa, Australia, Europe, the Arctic and
elsewhere.
Even more important in global climate
discussions is the increasing temperatures of the global oceans, and the slowing of the Gulf Stream due to
increasingly large amounts of cold fresh
water flowing south down Davis Strait
into the Labrador Sea.
It now appears that, globally, 2015
will be the hottest year on record, with
2014 running a close second.

Measure PS
Dear Editor:
The letters from Sally Seven and Jim
Belna in the September 18 COURIER,
along with the enclosed flier from the
Council for a Better Police Station
(CBPS), raised several issues for Claremont voters, issues which need to be
clarified before we vote on Measure PS
in November.
Ms. Seven pointed out that the parcel
tax is going to cost an extra $400,000
each year in order to collect $95,000
from local nonprofits. Why would homeowners, over the 40-year payoff period,
want to pay an extra $16 million dollars
on the debt service charge as opposed to
GO bonds?
The CBPS flier pointed out another

problem with the parcel tax, that parcels
with several high income businesses on
them will pay the same as a single homeowner. So Citibank, Trader Joes, Buca
di Beppo, Candlelight Pavilion and Griswolds Old School House will only pay a
small fraction of what a single homeowner will have to pay? Why would
homeowners want to pay a significantly
larger portion of the debt load than a
business?
Mr. Belnas letter pointed out how, if
we approve the police station parcel tax
and proceed with the water system acquisition, Claremonts total debt would almost quadruple in size to $248 million,
moving us from having the lowest debt in
the region to having one of the highest.
He stated, It is foolish to imagine
there will be no consequences to borrowing so much money at once. What
he didnt state, but is also a concern, is
that if revenue from water use is reduced by 30 to 40 percent, as we have
been successfully doing with water conservation, wont this also throw off the
initial calculations on the water acquisition, which will cause even more deficit
and debt load?
The last issue, also raised by CBPS,
was the site for the police station ended
up being placed in a gravel pit, a location
that was supposedly rejected by the consultant. Because of the location, this site
reportedly will cost an extra $11.6 million to develop. It is somewhat understandable the city didnt want to put the
station on a site more attractive to developers because the more attractive site
will, hopefully, generate more tax revenue down the road. But will obligating

homeowners to an extra $11.6 million

pay off? Will saving a more attractive
site for home or apartment development
generate income in excess of that $11.6
million? And should the potential for tax
revenue even be a factor in dictating the
most efficient and effective site for such
an important service as public safety?
I support the need for a new police
station, though not as huge as the one envisioned. However, if the issues outlined
above are what they seem to be, I dont
think we are approaching this need in the
best interests of homeowners.

CITY NEWS
City council delays water, development agenda items
he Claremont City
Council shelved two
important itemsa
vote on La Vernes plan for the
Claremont water system and
an appeal regarding the Serrano II housing projectat its
meeting Tuesday night due to
two councilmembers absences.
Councilmembers Joe Lyons and
Larry Schroeder were not present during the meeting, forcing Mayor Corey
Calaycay to call for the votes to be
pushed to October 13.
The council was initially scheduled to
approve an operational agreement with
the city of La Verne to run the Claremont water system should the city prevail in its eminent domain case against
Golden State Water Company.
Under the agreement, La Verne
would maintain the water system and
provide staff, while Claremont would
own the water system itself and be responsible for billing, customer service
staff and setting rates and water policies.
The agreement would allow Claremont to set aside $1.5 million for operational purposes, with La Verne getting
an annual stipend of 10 percent of the
operational cost.
The city of La Verne had already approved their end of the deal during their
city council meeting on Monday, September 21.

Although the council pushed the vote
to next months meeting, Claremont resident Jim Belna took to the podium during public comment to outline a few of
his concerns with the new agreement.
This very may well be the most expensive contract the city has ever
made, Mr. Belna said. Its completely
ridiculous for the city of Claremont take
over the water system just to turn it into
a cash cow for La Verne.
As with all other aspects of the citys
quest to claim eminent domain, the deal
hinges on whether or not Claremont has
legal standing to take over the water
system.
Another item shelved until October
13 surrounded the proposed Serrano II
condominium project, to be built on
Base Line Road next to the Serrano I
development, which is currently under
construction.
On July 15, the Claremont Architectural Commission denied the Serrano II
plans by a vote of 3-2-2, with concerns
mostly involving design consistency,
and blind spots within the development
that could pose a traffic hazard. Another
concern was the placement of the back
yard walls in the initial design. The developer appealed the commissions decision on July 22.
The city council was set to overturn
the commissions recommendation on
the Serrano II project on September 8,
but the item pushed to last Tuesdays
meeting. Because of council absences,
the item was again put on hold.

Architectural commission vice-chair
Mark Schoeman expressed frustration
over the councils expected approval of
the development, telling the COURIER
that city staff did not properly address
the issues the commission had with the
project. The recommendations made by
staff included changing the color of one
of the units and repositioning a secondfloor window.
The staff recommendations made it
look like we denied the project based on
some colors, and I did not appreciate
that, Mr. Schoeman said, speaking personally and not on behalf of other commissioners. I just dont think its the
right kind of project for the area. Its not
fully realizing the potential of the site.
Among the items on the agenda that
were voted on by council was an
amendment to the citys municipal code
requiring massage businesses to obtain
a conditional use permit in order to keep
operating within city limits.
The ordinance was a direct response
to Assembly Bill 1147, which was created, in part, to curb the number of businesses that dealt in prostitution and
human trafficking. According to Associate Planner Luke Seibert, there are five
massage businesses in Claremont that
are listed on RubMaps.com, a site that
chronicles massage therapists that are
known for happy endings.
Each conditional use permit will cost
businessowners $1,500 to obtain. The
code also requires Claremont police to
monitor each business and make sure
CUC adds $1 million to help

fund new police station
he Claremont University
Consortium made a commitment to donate $1 million on
Saturday, September 18 toward the
possible construction of a new police station.
The donation hinges on the passing of Measure PS, which allocates $50 million toward
building a new station for the Claremont Police
Department.
The city council, as well as the CPD, has
heavily lobbied in favor of the measure, claiming the department needs a new headquarters to
properly accommodate a growing and modernizing force.
The new public safety facility will benefit
the entire Claremont community, Claremont
University Consortium CEO Stig Lanesskog
told the COURIER via email. Because the
Claremont Colleges are part of that community,
and as part of our long-standing partnership
with the city and the Claremont Police Department, contributing to this important project is
the right thing to do.
The donation from the consortium would go
directly toward the $50 million price tag of the
police station should the measure pass, according to Claremont Public Information Officer
Bevin Handel. That means the original $286

per year parcel tax levied on Claremont property owners to pay for the police station project
will become a slightly smaller amount.
Mayor Corey Calaycay praised the donation
from the CUC as a step in the right direction.
I am very appreciative they stepped up to
the plate to show that there is a need for a new
public safety facility, Mr. Calaycay said.
Critics of the measure have argued the donation from the consortium amounts to nothing
more than a goodwill gesture from an entity
that is exempt from paying property taxes.
In that light, making a $1 million voluntary
contribution to their $1.2 million 40-year parcel
tax bill on 100 properties looks like a smart
business decision, opponents to Measure PS
wrote on the website ABetterPoliceStation.com.
The Colleges have been considerably helped
by the CPD in the past. According to the citys
2014 crime report, a total of 196 property thefts
were committed within the Colleges. This was
a noticeable spike in incidents compared to
2013, which saw 140 property thefts, the
COURIER previously reported.
Claremont is set to vote on Measure PS during elections on November 3. The measure requires a two-thirds supermajority in order to
pass.
Matthew Bramlett
they are in compliance with the new ordinance.

Mr. Seibert outlined three zones
where massage businesses are no longer
allowed to operate: below the 10 freeway around the Claremont Auto Center,
in the commercial space on the southeast corner of Arrow Highway and Indian Hill Boulevard and a tiny sliver of
commercial area on Arrow Highway
and Elder Drive, near the La West
liquor store.
Massage businesses looking to open
within the business/industrial park district will only be allowed to obtain a
CUP if they are related to a gym, health
club, yoga studio, pilates studio or
something similar, according to the ordinance.
Two massage businesses, La Bella
Spa and Arrow Spa, already exist within
two of the zones and will have one year
to relocate under the new ordinance, according to Mr. Seibert. The city will not
offset relocation costs for the businesses, said Community Services Director Brian Desatnik.
The ordinance unanimously passed,
with the three present councilmembers
voting yes.
Also on the agenda for Tuesdays
meeting was an update on homeless
services within the city, as well as a
contractual agreement with Urban Graffiti Enterprises, Inc. for graffiti removal
services within the city.
The city council will meet again on
October 13.

City hall tree to be removed

The Red Ironbark Eucalyptus in front of city hall is scheduled
for removal today, Friday, September 25. The tree has lost several
large branches recently, which is great cause for concern, according
to the city managers weekly report.
Four different arborists have made independent inspections and
the city hired a consulting arborist who went to the top of the tree
in a high-lift bucket truck to investigate the large cavity in the middle of the tree. There is evidence of termite damage, significant rotting and bleeding, which is a sign of dead wood and decay within
the heartwood of the tree.
All arborists agreed that the tree poses a high risk of branch failure and resulting in injury because of the high-traffic location. According to the city managers report, the city realizes that this tree
is a main focal point for city hall and the community, however public safety is a priority and staff agrees with removal and replacement at this time. For information, contact Community Services at
399-5431.
Wilderness Park master plan

The city of Claremont and Claremont Hills Wilderness Park Master Plan consultants MIG will host a community meeting to discuss
the draft master plan Monday, September 28 from 6 to 9 p.m. at
Taylor Hall, located at 1775 N. Indian Hill Blvd.
The meeting will allow participants to explore exhibit tables to
discuss specific areas of the plan. For information, contact Anne
Turner at (909) 399-5490 or aturner@ci.claremont.ca.us.

p.m. at the Millikan Science Laboratory, Room 1051, 610 N. College Ave. The college will provide an update on the new museum
and offer the first models of the design concept.

Crowds brave summer heat for annual street fair
undreds of Claremonters braved

the searing September heat to attend the eighth annual KGNH
Street Fair on Saturday, September 18.
The fair featured a number of events meant to serve
the interests of citizens of all ages and backgrounds, including open house tours of the Claremont police and
fire stations, food trucks, a car show featuring classic
police cars, live bands and even a face-painting booth.
The fair is the brainchild of Betty Crocker, who started
KGNH (Keeping the Good in the Neighborhood) as a
way to keep a close eye and ear on crime in the community.
When we first started doing [KGNH], it was a
potluck with only a couple hundred people that showed
up, Ms. Crocker said. And so eight years later, this is
what its blossomed into.
This is the first KGNH fair held in front of the police
station, which put Claremonters at the actual front door
of crime prevention in the city. Bonita Avenue was
closed for a block, giving people plenty of room to walk
around and take in the scene.
This is our first year bringing the street fair out to
our public safety [centers], so its just its a new dawn,
Ms. Crocker said. A new opportunity.
Kids of all ages were encouraged to climb around
massive fire engines and were given plastic fire helmets.
They were also given an opportunity to see how the stations actually worked when firefighters were forced to
go out on a call in the middle of the open house.
At the police station, Claremonters were given a rare
treat to see how the current station operated, including
tours of the jails, offices and booking rooms.

Proving once again that selfie sticks
have no place in our modern society,
40-year-old Edwin Blas was arrested
for strapping his cell phone to a selfie
stick and using it to film someone
showering. The incident occurred on
the 700 block of Bridgeport Avenue
around 7:30 a.m., according to Detective Lieutenant Mike Ciszek. The victim, horrified at her acquaintances
actions, called the police after Mr. Blas
showed her the video then deleted it
from his phone. The police arrived and
Mr. Blas admitted to filming the victim
without her consent. Mr. Blas was arrested and taken to Claremont Police
Department jail, where he was released
with a notice to appear.
Friday, September 18
In a move described by Lt. Ciszek as
malicious mischief, a person who
takes high school rivalries a little too
seriously spray-painted F**k the
Pack, among other obscenities
alongside green-colored male genitaliaover the Claremont High School
grounds sometime between 4 and 8
a.m. the morning before the football
game between CHS and Damien.
Equipment affected by the sophomoric

scribblings include stadium bleachers,
player benches and the five-foot concrete wall on the home side of the field.
The effort to destroy the morale of the
Wolfpack proved futile; the Pack
stomped all over Damien at the big
game, winning 42-17.

Claremont PD picked up a lead on a
couple from Bakersfield who were
driving a car stolen from Ontario.
Maricela Herrera and Steven Alvarez
were stopped on the 900 block of west
Foothill Boulevard at approximately
3:50 p.m. Once pulled over, officers
found meth and various drug paraphernalia on Ms. Herrera, leading to her arrest. Mr. Alvarez was booked for
possession of stolen property.
Saturday, September 19
41-year-old Dennis Simon was
stirred from his slumber in a shopping
center by Claremont cops on the 300
block of North Towne Avenue. After
police ran his info, they found out he
had a warrant. Mr. Simon was going to
be cited but not placed in handcuffs, but
he became irate and begin walking
away from the cops. Police officers told
him to stop and that he was not free to

go but Mr. Simon continued to walk
away, grabbing a pocket knife in the
process. That was more or less around
the time Claremont police tased him.
Mr. Simon was detained and taken to
Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center for a check-up on his injuries.
Sunday, September 20
Somewhere between 3:24 and 4:10
a.m., 29-year-old Adrien Lea had one
too many. The Garden Grove resident
was visiting a friend at the Colleges
when he evidently became drunk and
started fighting with another person
outside of a dorm building. Mr. Lea
then bolted inside his friends dorm
room, locked himself inside the bathroom and passed out on the toilet while
urinating, according to Lt. Ciszek. After
officers arrived to diffuse the situation,
Mr. Lea was arrested and taken to the
police department to sober up.
***
Later in the day at the Colleges, two
Ontario men were conducting a petty
theft crime spree. Jesus Mendivil, Jr., 24,
and Andrew Sindelar, 22, entered into a
dorm building on the 400 block of Platt
Boulevard. They walked right into an
open dorm where they stole a wallet, a
laptop, an iPhone and a skateboard. Evidently not done for the day, Mr. Sindelar
and Mr. Mendivil then happened upon a

picnic table on the 300 block of West
Ninth Street and stole a wallet that was
left there, unguarded. One of the victims
used the find my iPhone app and
found the two thieves at the Montclair
Transit Station, presumably about to
make their escape. Officers responded to
the location and arrested Mr. Sindelar,
who also had a warrant out for his arrest
in San Bernardino County, and Mr.
Mendivil without incident.
Tuesday, September 22
A short pursuit through the streets of
Claremont ended in an overturned wreck
on Harrison Avenue at approximately
10:06 a.m. Claremont PD located a
stolen car at 10:01 a.m. and tried to pull
over the driver, identified as 26-year-old
Jaime Plasencia of Perris. The fast and
furious driver took off, leading police on
a short chase through the streets before
taking a turn too sharply and flipping the
car, according to Lt. Ciszek. Mr. Plasencia was largely uninjured, but complained of minor pain while he was in
custody. Mr. Plasencia has been booked
on a laundry list of charges, including
evading the police, car theft, possession
of a firearm, possession of ammunition,
possession of stolen property and driving on a suspended license.
Matthew Bramlett
EDUCATION
New hire brings political acumen, web experience to COURIER
ast week, the

COURIER welcomed
Matthew Bramlett as
the papers newest employee.
The 27-year-old reporter
brings to the city desk the enthusiasm of youthone somewhat more jaded reporter
overheard him saying he was
tickled to get the joband
an abiding interest in politics.
Mr. Bramlett expressed regret that he
had to miss the second GOP presidential
debate, as it conflicted with the September 16 meeting of the citys planning
commission. And as of press time, he is
eagerly looking forward to a Thursday
afternoon talk at Pitzerwith the faint
possibility of an accompanying interviewdelivered by Democratic presidential candidate Martin OMalley.
Im kind of a political junkie and
Martin OMalley is someone Im aware
of and respect, Mr. Bramlett said, noting that the governor of Maryland has
some good ideas and strikes a nice balance between progressive values and a
more establishment-based ethos.
Before the whole Bernie Sanders
#FeelTheBern [viral campaign] happened, OMalley was seen as a main
contender to Hillary Clinton, he continued. Hes been pushed aside to a distant
third, but its always nice to talk to a
high-ranking political figure.
Mr. Bramlett also has a healthy admiration for local politics.
In the city, for example, there are
people in the public sector who directly
deal with residentsas opposed to
someone who is off in Washington or in
Sacramento, he said. I feel like thats
unique. I respect that closeness with the
community.
In Claremont, involvement is a twoway street, as evidenced by the inaugural city council meeting Mr. Bramlett
attended as COURIER city reporter.
The council chamber was full of
people. These werent just people looking to comment on the agenda, he said.
They were just there.

Of course, being a self-professed political geek does not a reporter make.
Mr. Bramlett comes with an educational
background and a growing resume of
journalism experience that indicates he
will be at ease reporting on the City of
Trees.
Mr. Bramlett was born in Norfolk,
Virginia but spent his earliest school
years in Upland, attending Peppertree
Elementary School and then Pioneer
Junior High before moving to Yucaipa
for his high school years. It was like Upland, just more rural, the journalist reports. There was more of an assortment
of lifted Silverado trucks, he joked.
At Yucaipa High, he joined the staff of
the school news magazine The Epigraph. Young Matt was, and remains,
passionate about music and film. He
even played drums for a time, commuting to Orange County to keep the beat
for a screamo band called Lachance. He
began to think he might enjoy a career as
an entertainment writer.
A three-hour round-trip commute
made late on school nights doesnt lend
itself to a stellar academic career. Mr.
Bramlett admits he wasnt much of a
student when he was younger. Upon
graduation, he took a job at a video
store, balancing late shifts with occasional classes at Chaffey College.

After about a year of soul searching, he started to get more serious about
college and career. Mr. Bramlett began
to take a full course-load with an emphasis on general ed. In the fall of 2009, he
transferred to Cal State San Bernardino.
He became a communication studies
major and was managing editor of the
colleges newspaper, the Coyote Chronicle.
Upon graduation, he embarked on an
internship with LAist.com, a one-stop
site focusing on news, culture, entertainment and restaurants of interest to Angelinos. The internship turned into a job
and he briefly served as an associate editor. He then found a writing job as a
blogger for the Hollywood trade site The
Wrap. The position included aggregating
content about the entertainment industry
as well as writing original stories.
One notable assignment for The Wrap
included a story about two Real Housewives who neglected to make donations to Detroit schools after boasting
about their charitable contributions. Another was following the Kasem Beat,
covering the struggle of the children of
legendary DJ and voiceover artist Casey
Kasem to see their dying father, who
was under the care of his wife Jean
Kasem.
After his gig at The Wrap ended, Mr.
Bramlett began stringing for the Redlands Daily Facts, writing articles about
interesting residents. Mr. Bramlett, an ardent baseball fan with a penchant for the
Angels and a bit of an obsession with
stats, especially enjoyed writing a piece
about a 13-year-old kid who threw a nohitter.
Mr. Bramlett is used to serving the
Claremont community, albeit in a different capacity. Along with his writing jobs,
he spent nearly two years working at
Claremont restaurants Union on Yale
and Tutti Mangia before taking on a post
with the local newspaper. After a Tutti
manager mentioned that the COURIER
was hiring, he applied and the rest is history.
After the previous city reporter Angela Bailey left, there was a handful of
qualified candidates vying for her post.

Mr. Bramlett just felt like the best
choice, according to editor Kathryn
Dunn.
Matt struck me as eager. I knew he
could turn stories around quickly because of his experience with the blog,
she said. I thought his website experience would lend itself really well to the
COURIER, that and his interest in politics. Plus, he just seems like a nice guy. I
think hell fit in well with the community.
Mr. Bramlett makes his home in Upland but he still spends quite a lot of
time in Redlands. His partner of five
years, Jacobe Varela, lives in the Jewel
of the Inland Empire and also works
there. Mr. Varela is a barista and baker at
Olive Avenue Market and a pastry chef
at Bricks and Birch.
Dating a chef means that Mr. Bramlett
gets treated to good homemade foods
and is forced to binge-watch cooking
shows like Chopped. His television
tastes lean more to comedy, and he has
recently powered through Netflix and
Hulu collections of shows like Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, 30 Rock
and Parks and Recreation.
He may have to put aside the remote
for a while, though, because his plate is
full with stories about Claremont. These
arent the kind of articles you dash off
but ones involving history, context and,
in some cases, controversy.
He cites the following stories among
coverage priorities: eminent domain;
Measure PS, which proponents hope
voters will support in order to fund a
new $50 million police station; the
Wilderness Park Master Plan, and the
reclamation and beautification of Claremonts portion of Route 66.
And Mr. Bramlett wants to do right by
a city he has come to love.
I like how close-knit the community
is, and I like how involved the citizens
are with everything happening with the
city, he said. Its a great city with a lot
of interesting people and places to go. It
just has a quaint sort of feel to it that I really appreciate.

Custard tarts, octopus and port: a visit to Portugal

by Jan Wheatcroft
ummer is my time to visit friends in

Europe. Emails fly between us as
places are chosen for our explorations. Hotels are scrutinized, location and
prices weighed, until the skeletal part of our
journey is planned out. Then, finally, flights
are booked and train connections are examined.
My friend Frances usually takes care of this part as
we make London our departure point. This year, we
planned to visit Portugal, which neither of us had been
to and two cities in Spain, which neither of us knows
and, in the end, one of which we hardly see at all. And
so the adventure begins.
Since our plane left from Gatwick Airport outside of
Londonand we are living down by the Sussex seasidewe order a mini-cab for 5 a.m. to take us there.
Packed and ready we sit on the front steps in the lamplit dark waiting. No one comes. We have no idea why
we have been forgotten but after many calls, a replacement cab arrives to drive us up. We are only slightly
rattled. Upon arrival, the driver empties out his trunk
and drives off. We sort out our backpacks and wheelie
cases and find that we have one more backpack than
we began with. Not sure whose it is, we leave it on a
bench feeling worried and guilty. Our trip is officially
beginning as we rush off to catch our plane.
The first port of call is Porto, Portugal, a charming
town of hills and streets covered in lovely stone patterned mosaics. Building after building is layered in
hand-painted ceramic tiles, which keep me craning out
of windows and snapping iPhone photos as fast as I can.
We are staying in a narrow street across from an Indian
restaurant. Our hotel is older and we have the only
room, which does not get a Wifi signal so we send our
emails in the halls or the lobby.
Our first plan after a visit to the information bureau
is to buy tickets for a hop-on, hop-off bus tour of the
city to get a feel of where we are. We walk along the
cobbles to the bus stop and climb up onto the top deck
of the bus. At the top of the hills, looking down to the
river and up to the top of the hills, we see all the major
Port Wine Houses. Some of these wineries have the familiar names of port wines I have enjoyed over the past
years. Later, we stop for a port tasting. One of us has a
moscato port and the other a white. Both are delicious
and quite intense. Portugal is famous for its pasteis de
natas, small crispy tarts filled with custard. They are
You say I have Alzheimers. What is that?

Hey, who are you?
available everywhere and we try them nearly everywhere, reviewing the crispiness of the tart shell and the
level of sweetness of the cream. I like a very crispy
crust and a not-too-sweet custard.
Portugal is also famous for its salt cod or bacalau but
I am not fond of it. Frances wanted to eat some and I
wanted octopus. Near the sea, we found a small street
with a few restaurants at street level and living apartments above so that the narrow street was always full of
restaurant-goers and local neighbors.
For a first course, we had a lovely spreadable cheese
and a fish paste on bread. My octopus was by far the
most successful and we shared that leaving most of the
bacalau. Enjoying the wine, we watched the street theater of locals being played around uschildren rushing
everywhere, shouting and others like us searching for
good food. And then a young woman came and sang
some jazz and blues. It went well with the wine. Afterwards, she came and sat at our table and told us about
her dreams to go abroad and study music.
Our cab driver who drove us from the airport had told
us to go to the Lello Library, which is an amazing bookstore. A double staircase sits in the center of the building and walking upstairs was like entering a dinosaurs
ribcage. The building was stuffed with tourists who, like
me, snapped away at the beautiful wooden interior. I
loved the mosaic stone streets, each with their own designs as well as old buildings and churches covered in
antique hand-painted tiles in soft blues.
On our last night in Porto, the rains came in earnest.
Luckily, the street we stayed on was extremely narrow
and the Indian restaurant was right across the street. We
felt a bit silly eating Indian food when we had come to
explore the food of Portugal but it was easy to get to
and was delicious.
After a few days, we left Porto by train for Lisbon.
Portugal sells senior-priced train tickets, which we happily took advantage of. In Lisbon, we stayed on a busy
street full of restaurants and touts for each one urging
you to read their menus and come in for their best prepared food. There was a great deal of sea food avail-
able of all varietieslobster, shrimp, octopus, sea

snails, as well as Italian food. The salads were really
good and filled with fresh chopped sweet onions, which
are much sweeter than what is labeled sweet here.
One of my favorite meals was large, grilled whole sardines served five to a plate, plus fries and a simple salad
with those sweet onions on top. This was eaten outside
with a glass of wine and, of course, a photo snapped to
post on Facebook for bragging rights. There was no
way that I could finish all five, fat sardines.
Frances had read about a bakery in Belem, an area at
the mouth of the Tagus River where the Portuguese
ships departed for their voyages of discovery. Our voyage was to discover the most famous bakery, Pasteis de
Belem for natas, those delicious custard tarts. A long
line snaked around the building and it was hot. The
walls inside were covered in the hand-painted blue and
white tiles and we shared a table with others looking
for the same treat. Later, we walked to the back of the
bakery and, through a large window, watched women
filling huge trays of just baked tarts, row after row.
One evening we watched as people stood outside a
tiny shop drinking something out of small plastic cups.
Some were locals, men mostly, and some were young
backpackers. Our curiosity aroused, we entered to see
what this dark drink was. We discovered Ginja licor, a
dark cherry liquor, which was very good. When we left
Lisbon, we do so with a few small bottles of this alluring drink.
On our last evening in Portugal, we went to an older
part of town up in the hills with small winding streets.
In small restaurants and bars Fado, the soul-full music
of Portugal is played and sung. In the first bar we entered we were told that all the seats had been reserved.
As we wandered up the street, a woman standing next
to a restaurant door told us to come in. She sang Fado
and was on a break. We ate a light meal and listened to
her sing accompanied by two men. I liked her singing
but it seemed more cheerful than other fado music I
have heard. On the way back, we stopped by the small
bar and peeked into the window to listen with the rest
of the crowd to a more traditional style of the music.
When spoken, the Portuguese sounds more like
Russian to me than the Spanish it resembles when written. It flowed around us like a fast-running river without an entry point. Being in Portugal seemed much
more foreign to me than Spain. Perhaps it was because
it was my first time visiting but I would no longer lump
the two countries together in my mind. Each stands out
very strongly on its own and both are worth a visit.
Trending now
by Mellissa Martinez
n the 70s and 80s, the

word trend was associated
with current fashion, popular culture and hip hairstyles.
Trends seemed more durable,
often lasting for months if not
years.
In my case, trendy meant Jordache
jeans, ruffle shirts, aerobics, sweatbands,
crimped hair and side ponytails (you get
the picture).
Thanks to our ever-changing language, trend is no longer limited to
fashion. The word has evolved to describe a variety of temporarily popular
activities, events and even words, particularly in the virtual realm.
Originally, trend was related to
roundness, as the Old English trinde
meant a round lump or ball. Middle
English trenden was used as a verb meaning to revolve or turn around, and in the
late 1500s trend described the round
bend of rivers and coastlines; the curve of
trends, namely bigly and bloviate.

CITY
Linda Heilpern
OBITUARIES
Entrepreneur, creative cook, friend to many

Linda Giana Heilpern died on August 27, 2015 following an unexpected
hospital stay. She was 65.
She was born on March 21, 1950 in
Yonkers, New York to Lillian Avezzano
and John Weber. When she was quite
young, her mother was very ill and
eventually passed away from complications associated with lupus. As the oldest child, Linda took over household
duties like cooking, cleaning and keeping track of her younger sister and
brother. When she was in fifth grade,
she met Michael Heilpern and they embarked on several years of good-natured academic competition. Linda
was always extremely bright, her sister Judy said. She used to get upset if
shed come home from a test and she
only got a 99 out of 100.
At 15, rivalry turned to romance and
they began dating. She held down a
waitressing job but still excelled in
many school activities, including
spending hours with Michael creating
the student newspaper at Lakeland
High School. She graduated with honors and was accepted at Vassar, but left
after a year due to financial constraints.
In the late 60s and early 70s, she and
Michael embarked on their hippie
years. They were the rare couple that
could actually say they were at Woodstock, turning it into a family affair by
bringing along Michaels kid brother,
Slim. Her future in-laws, Jack and
Betty Heilpern, were very supportive of
the young couples relationship, and
later provided much-needed family stability after Ms. Heilpern lost her father
to a heart attack as a young adult. Her
future brother-in-law Slim and his wife
Penny were also prominent in her life,
even moving in with the Heilperns for a
time in the 90s.
Linda and Michael were married in
1971 and three years later welcomed
their daughter Harsimran into the
world. Ms. Heilpern loved being a
mother and often stated that she was
never happier nor more fulfilled than
during those early years of raising
young Harsi. Her daughters memories
were of a mom who seemed to be able
to do it all.
She had an unfailing work ethic and
was totally devoted to caring for her
family, Harsi said. She could cook
anything, sewed clothing and home furnishings from scratch, was a whiz at
word and trivia games, and always won
every tickle fight. She knew how to
buckle down and get things accomplished, but she always did it with a
warm smile and a twinkle in her eye.
The Heilperns practiced meditation,
studied yoga, campaigned for peace,
experimented with communal living
and embraced the growing whole foods
movement. Long before it was popular
to do so, she aimed to feed her family
an economical, healthy, flavorful vegetarian diet and threw herself into cooking partially out of necessity. She be-
came particularly adept at preparing Indian dishes and while living in Boston
and later Washington, DC worked at
The Golden Temple Conscious Cookery specializing in Ayurvedic fare.
The family moved to California in
1979. They initially settled in Pomona
and Ms. Heilpern founded a small company called Highpoint, Inc. She singlehandedly created a thriving business
from the ground up and was later
joined by her husband, who helped to
further shape and expand the scope of
the operation. Together they nurtured
and guided Highpoint as it evolved
over three decades of ownership, from
a small typesetting business to a web
consulting company serving membership organizations, public agencies and
local businesses.
The Heilperns always had their
sights set on living in the City of Trees.
They admired the college town not only
for its aesthetic merits, but for its tightknit community, rich in both arts and
academia. They enrolled their daughter
at Condit Elementary and The Webb
Schools and relocated Highpoint in
1990. Five years after that, they finally
realized their dream of owning a beautiful home in Claremont. With this
monumental purchase came an unexpected bonusthe working relationship with their realtor and soon-to-be
neighbor Cristina Cira quickly developed into an enduring 20-year friendship.
Ms. Cira remembers with fondness
the hundreds of evenings she and her
husband Sherban spent at the couples
home, sharing memories and stories together after enjoying Lindas creative
(and sometimes daring) culinary offerings.
In 2003, Ms. Heilpern founded another company called Cooking Light
with Lotsa Flavor. She catered events,
gave cooking classes and for a time
contributed a food column to the
COURIER newspaper. The menu for
one evening class in Mayan cuisine,
which included ensalada xek (jicama,
cucumber and orange salad), pescado

pibil (whitefish baked in banana leaves
with achiote paste) and a dessert of
fried plantains, demonstrates the depth
of her knowledge and her desire to understand the culture as a whole. At the
time of her death, Ms. Heilperns cookbook collection was 500 strong.
Laura and Chuck Burt also became
fast friends with the Heilperns after Mr.
Burt rented a space in the Highpoint office. The two couples bonded over a
mutual appreciation of jazz music, and
Ms. Burt would also sometimes serve
as Ms. Heilperns Cooking Light sous
chef, helping in the kitchen and getting
free cooking lessons in return. Linda
was one of the kindest, most loving
people I ever met, Ms. Burt said. She
didnt judge people. And her cooking
was a form of giving to others.
Giving to others was definitely a
theme for Ms. Heilpern. She involved
herself deeply in organizations such as
the Claremont Community Foundation,
where she enjoyed putting on exotic
spreads as part of the CCFs annual
Party Parade. She extended the same
enthusiasm to her role with Community
Friends of International Students, regularly organizing and providing meals
for I-Place events and CFIS gatherings.
As ardent conservationists, the
Heilperns were hugely instrumental in
the struggle to secure Johnsons Pasture
for the city and they also founded Sustainable Claremonts Tree Action
Group (TAG), working to catalog and
secure proper care for the citys trees.
Yet another neighboring couple that
enjoyed Ms. Heilperns company and
friendship were Sarah Romo and Rick
Moore.
She was not just a force in the community. She was also a force in the
neighborhood, Ms. Romo recalled,
On our walks together, she seemed to
know everyoneand their dogsby
name. She was always reaching out to
connect in some way, sharing food
from her garden or recipes from her
kitchen. I really appreciated her sensitivity and caring concern for others.
Frequent travel to upstate New York
to catch up with her family was difficult to coordinate, but she recently enjoyed near-annual visits from her
brother John Weber and had a great
time cooking up Italian feasts with his
wife Susan. Ms. Heilperns sister, Judy
Skirianos, is married to a man from the
Greek island of Ikaria, known for its
fresh Mediterranean cuisine and the
longevity of its inhabitants. She and her
husband Zaharias Skirianos are restaurateurs and so she, too, bonded with
Linda over the topic of food.
Linda was a sweetheart, Judy said.
Its an assessment with which all those
who knew her agreed.
Most everyone remembers the
Heilperns as a dynamic couple, and
there was no denying the strength of
their partnership and love for one an-

last year, shortly after celebrating 43
years of marriage, was an absolutely
devastating loss. Linda was able to find
much comfort and strength in the outpouring of support from her immediate
family and innumerable friends in the
community. She spoke often to her
daughter of the kindness of neighbors
and the women in her weekly support
group as well as among the members of
her swim class and book discussion
group at the Claremont Club.
Those who were used to seeing her
with her faithful cocker spaniel Dante
by her side will be pleased to know that

Linda is survived by her daughter
and son-in-law, Harsi Heilpern and
Ezra Parker; by her brother and sisterin-law, John and Susan Weber; by her
sister and brother-in-law, Judy and Zaharias Skirianos; by her nieces and
nephews, Jessica and Andrea Weber
and Tina, Marci, Jack and Anna Skirianos; and by her brother-in-law Slim
Heilpern and sister-in-law Penny
Hanna.
A celebration of her life will be held
on Sunday, October 25 from 2 to 5 p.m.
at the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, 1500 N. College Ave. in Claremont. All are welcome to attend.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that donations be made to Sustainable Claremont by visiting their

Harold Lynn
OBITUARIES
Teacher, coach, loving father

Harold L. Lynn, a longtime teacher and
coach with the Claremont Unified School
District, died at his home in Claremont on
September 5, 2015. He was 88.
He was born on January 18, 1927 in
Brookings, South Dakota to Minnie and
W.H. Lynn. As a boy, he would travel three
miles each morning to drop off his fathers
lunch at work, then head to school. In the
winter, when the snow was piled deep, he
jogged the entire way to keep warm.
While he would later relate his childhood
routine to his kids as a you think you had
it tough story, he fell in love with running.
He attended Brookings High School
where he was on the basketball, football
and track teams. He was particularly gifted in the latter sport, and this past August
was one of five Brookings alumni inducted
to the schools Athletic Hall of Fame. After graduating in 1945, he earned a bachelors degree from South Dakota State University where he was three-time state
champion on the Jackrabbits track team.
In 1947, he broke the South Dakota State
record for the mile run with a time of
4:34.4.
Mr. Lynn next enlisted in the US Army,
serving as second lieutenant before being
honorably discharged in 1952. After earning a Master of Education from USC, he
embarked on a long career with the Claremont Unified School District where he was
known as Happy Hal for his jovial and
positive spirit. Beginning in 1959, he
taught history, government, drivers ed and
PE at Claremont High School as well as
at San Antonio High. He also coached
track, football and cross-country at CHS.
Coach Lynn taught an old-fashioned
sense of teamwork and sportsmanship, and
was thoroughly excited when kids would
give 100 percent and improve their personal best. He taught all that sport was just
sport, even as it taught life lessons of selfdiscipline, hard work and perseverance. He
emphasized that his athletes should handle winning with gratitude and with respect
for the other team, and handle losing with
hopeful determination. Most of all he wanted kids to enjoy themselves and have fun.
At his retirement celebration in 1993,
someone figured that Hal had taught or
coached 60,000 kids in Claremont.
Several of his student athletes, including Class of 60 graduate David Kriezel,
have posted tributes to Coach Lynn on the
Claremont High School Alumni Society
website. Mr. Kriezel shared that, having just
moved to California from Nebraska, he
was shy and very quiet when he started as
a freshman at Claremont High School.
As his PE teacher, Mr. Lynn recognized
athletic potential in young David, recruiting him to join the CHS track and basketball teams. He ended up winning MVP
awards in track and basketball that year,
and managed to set school and league
records in the pole vault and shot put. He
spent the next three years active in a variety of sports. Whenever David broke his
record, Coach Lynn would give him an

Archies Little Black Book, an annual collection of trivia and inspiration aimed at
track athletes.
After I got at least six of them, Coach
Lynn told me his supply was depleted, Mr.
Kriezel wrote. He spent many hours
working with me, even weekends. I have
many memories of CHS, and knowing
Coach Lynn is at the top of my list. Rest
in peace, Coach, and maybe well meet
again in that pole vault pit in the sky.
Life was also busy for Mr. Lynn off campus. He met his future wife Marjorie at a
dance and in 1962 the couple was married.
Mr. Lynn welcomed Marjories four children from a previous marriage, Gail,
Doug, Vicki and Sonya, with open arms
and even coached Doug and Sonya in
track. In 1963, the Lynns added a son
named Max to their growing family, followed by their daughter Sherry. Hal was
an active dad and delighted in taking his
brood on excursions to places like Mt.
Baldy, Disneyland and Knotts Berry
Farm and on an annual sojourn to the Rose
Parade.
Above all, Hal loved teaching, kids and
sports. For many years he helped run the
Boys Club, and he was known as the dad
who took all the neighborhood kids everywhere. He loved coaching all ages, and for
the little kids around the neighborhood set
up miniature hurdles and a mattress for
high jump and pole vault, and went to the
hills of Claremont to cut bamboo for vaulting poles.
Faith was a big part of Mr. Lynns life.
He was a longtime member of Claremont
Presbyterian Church, serving in many
areas of church leadership over the years.
After retirement, he and Marjorie moved
to Phoenix where Hal split his pro-football
loyalty between the old LA Rams and the
Arizona Cardinals. He sent letters of advice to the coaches, particularly on line
play. Five years ago, after it appeared he

would die following a heart attack, one of
the Cardinals coaches came by to pay his
respects.
Mr. Lynn was a very active member of
the Mission committee of Sun Lakes
United Methodist Church. He spent hours
most days driving older members to doctor appointments and shopping trips. He
was instrumental in the support of a
health clinic in a Quiche Mayan village in
Guatemala and in the organization of a
large veterans fair offering health care,
mental health support, food, clothing and
employment and housing resources.
Mr. Lynn loved dancing and traveling
with his wife Marjorie. They traveled and
danced their way around much of the
world. After his wife died five years ago,
Hal moved back to Claremont where he
enjoyed attending church and virtually
every Claremont High sporting event he
could get to. He may have been Claremont
High sports best fan.
When the Saints Come Marching in,
Hal and Marge will instead be dancing,
grateful for a great and blessed life, his
family expressed. We would expect a
football game to follow soon behind.
Mr. Lynn was preceded in death by his
wife Marjorie Lynn, his daughter Gail
Bowe and his sister Irene Lynn. He is survived by his sister Janet Wibben; by his
children, Max Lynn, Sherry Lynn, Doug
Bowe, Vicki Bowe and Sonya Wrisley; his
grandchildren, Janine Nielson, Wayne
Bowe, Nick Lynn, Kevin Lynn, Amy
Anderson, Sara Lynn, John Lynn, LaShawna Powers, Chris Wrisley, Elizabeth Wilson and Alexandra Blanset; and his greatgrandchildren, Hanna Nielson, Jordan,
Brook, Ryan and Josh Bowe Mcloud.
A memorial service was held on September 11 at Claremont Presbyterian
Church.

Arlene Barber
OBITUARIES
Loving wife and mother, community volunteer

Arlene Barber, a longtime Claremont
resident, died on Wednesday, January
21, 2015. She was 89.
She was born Gladys Arlene Richter
on September 29, 1925 in Kansas City,
Missouri to Edward and Malissa
Richter. Her family moved from town
to town during the Depression years, finally settling in San Antonio, Texas. It
was here that she graduated from
Brackenridge High School and made
some of her lifelong friends.
Arlene met Eugene Barber of
Charlevoix, Michigan in 1951 while he
was stationed in San Antonio with the
US Air Force. They were married a year
later and spent many years traveling and
living in Europe during Genes 21-year
military career. Settling back in San Antonio and then moving to California
where they made their home in Claremont, the couple raised two children.
Mrs. Barber was a devoted wife and
mother, known for her generous spirit
and instinct for kindness and compassion. She was a longtime Claremont
volunteer, first at Claremont Heritage
and thenat the Rancho Santa Ana
Botanic Garden.
A true student of life, she was anavid
reader andwould routinely consume an
entire book in one sitting.Some of her
favorite and deeper studies involved
Shakespeare, religion and metaphysics,
Reiki, ancient Egypt, Abraham Lincoln,
American and world history and base-
Larry Dwyer
Salesman, Santa, family man
Larry Edwin Dwyer, a longtime
Claremont resident, died on August 30,
2015 with his wife Joan by his side. He
was 90.
He was born on July 15, 1925 in
Chicago, Illinois, the youngest of eight
children born to Anna Dineen and John
Dwyer. He graduated from the famous
St. Philips Catholic High School in
Chicago and attended the Illinois Institute of Technology for several years. He
joined the United States Army Air
Forces, becoming a bombardier, and was
later honorably discharged as a Second
Lieutenant.
As a young man, Larry made many
lifelong friends on the north side of
Chicago. They formed a club known as
the Amons, playing hockey in winter and
baseball in summer. They continued the
close relationship for well over 50 years,
attending each others weddings and
other special occasions. As retirement
entered their lives, they gathered for an
annual week of fishing and storytelling
in northern Wisconsin.
After leaving the army, Mr. Dwyer
met and married Regina Biro of
Chicago. The couple had three children,
Patricia, Steven and Kathleen. About
this time, they were living in Hillside,
Illinois. Larry, with several friends,
started playing Santa Claus to the neighborhood children. Over the next 50
years, he wore out several costumes.
He was Santa to hundreds of young
children through organizations, friends
and family. He continued this custom,
and even his own children failed to recognize him. Later in life, Mr. Dwyer had
the honor of playing Santa to his granddaughters, Jeanette and Jacqueline, at
family gatherings in Padre Island, Texas.
He always made sure he knew the reindeers names and some incident regarding each childs life. He is one Santa who
will be sorely missed, family shared.
Larry started his career as a salesman.
Actually, he started selling as a very
young boy, hawking newspapers on a
street corner in Chicago. It was the Depression and thats what families did
thenthey all helped out. His early

work years were spent as a traveling
salesman for the Simoniz and Clad-Rex
companies. In 1962, Mr. Dwyer was
hired as a salesman by PreFinish Metals.
He was given the responsibility of creating and growing sales for a complicated
and very abstract business. He was an integral part of the beginning and growth
of a new concept that today is an international multi-billion dollar industry:
coil coating.
In 1968, the Dwyers experienced a
major upheaval. Larry accepted a move
to California for PreFinish to jump-start
and develop their West Coast operation.
He soon met a man who asked him to
join a new coil coating company,
SUPRACOTE. He surrounded himself
with good, sharp people, and together
they built a strong, profitable company
that sold for a lot of money some years
later.
Mr. Dwyer was a highly respected
force in the coil coatings industry. He
didnt need to be front-and-center.
Rather, he worked his influence behind
the scenes. He was part of a group that
lobbied Washington, DC in 1978 in order
to preserve an industry he was passionate
about. He was active in the National Coil
Coaters Association, and was ultimately
inducted into their Hall of Fame for his
years of service and advice. In the early
90s he retired and left his lasting imprint
on the company and industry. Through
the many years of work and the successes he achieved, he never changed.
ball. Her adventurous spirit took her to

many classes including belly dance,
Aikido, silk painting and Greek mythology, and to many baseball games.
She is survived by her daughter and
son-in-law, Karen and Cole Bodge, her
son and daughter-in-law, Michael and
Tiny Barber, and her grandson Matthew.
She also leaves her brother-in-law Bud
and his wife Susan and many nieces and
nephews.
A memorial mass will be held on Saturday, October 3 at 10 a.m. at Our Lady
of Assumption, located at 435 N. Berkeley Ave. in Claremont. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to a
charity of your choice.

prolonged illness. He was 81.
Funeral services will be held on
Saturday, September 26 at 1 p.m. at
the Claremont United Methodist
Church, followed by private interment in the churchs Memorial GarHe never forgot where he came from.
Life was not always the Jolly Old
Saint Nicholas for Larry. In 1984, he
lost his wife Regina to cancer. In 2003,
he lost his youngest daughter Kathleen,
who was married to Jim Clelland. His
fourth granddaughter, Casey, passed
away at six months of age.
On a happier note, Mr. Dwyer married
Joan Schroeder of Milwaukee and this
expanded his family to include two stepchildren, Jack Litschewski (Jenna) of
Washington, DC and Jill Litschewski of
Escondido. Larry and Joan would have
celebrated 30 years of marriage on Sep-
den. In lieu of flowers, the family

suggests that memorial contributions
be given to the Claremont United
Methodist Church, 211 W. Foothill
Blvd., Claremont, CA 91711.
A full account of Mr. Ogles life
will be featured in a future edition of
the COURIER.
tember 21, 2015.

Larry, we will miss your laugh, storytelling ability, generosity, good advice
and being 100 percent Irish, his loved
ones shared. You have been a good
friend to all and a wonderful husband
and father.
Mr. Dwyers family would like to
thank his caregivers, especially Veronica
and Juanna, as well as the staff at Redwood Terrace and Elizabeth Hospice of
Escondido. In lieu of flowers, donations
can be made to Elizabeth Hospice of Escondido and The Alzheimers Association.

SPORTS
Wolfpack trounces Damien, 42-17, at home
f one could rewrite the rules of football and make every play a fourth
down, the Claremont High School
football team would be the greatest prep
squad out there. Of course, one might also
wonder why they dont play the first three
downs as beautifully as they do the last.
Still, there is no arguing with the results, and the
Pack had one amazingly great game Friday night at
CHS, stomping Damien 42-17 in
SPORTING
what must be the most lopsided
LIFE
Claremont victory in a decades-long
rivalry. The Pack outscored the Spartans in the first
three quarters, including the second when they got
three touchdowns. As a result, the Wolfpack is now 40 and their state ranking shot up by 48 places to 139.
The Pack wasted no time setting the momentum
with a series of running plays for small gains that
nonetheless got them within striking distance of the
goal line. From there, senior Markelle Davis and the
CHS offensive line shoved their way into the end
zone for the Packs first touchdown.
The two teams traded possession for the rest of the
first quarter until a Damien punt took a favorable
Claremont roll and the Pack took over at their own
43-yard line.
In three running plays Claremont only gained eight
yards setting up fourth and two from midfield. They
appeared to be lining up for an attempt to muscle their
way to a first down when coach Coco Jardin called a
time out.
Back on the field quarterback senior Raine Pohaku
Kaheaku-Paiva handed off to junior Duy Tran-Sampson, who found a hole on the right side, running all
the way to the end zone and the Packs second touchdown.
On their next possession, Damien answered with a
flawless pass play from their quarterback, sophomore
Warren Bryan, who found junior Spencer Smith up
the middle, making it a 14-7 game.
However, another last-chance miracle play was
right around the corner.
Facing fourth and long, Coach Jardin substituted

League season.
his regular kicker, Jacob Olesniewicz, with KaheakuPaiva for the punt attempt. This should have been a
big red flag for the Damien defense. However, they
were caught completely off guard, and KaheakuPaiva dodged a half-hearted tackle attempt to run 25
yards for the first down. A few plays later and Kaheaku-Paiva scored on a short run up the middle.
Facing a rout, Damien came back with an aggressive passing game only to be intercepted by Brycen
Bradfield, who successfully avoided several tackles to
score Claremonts third touchdown of the quarter.
The Wolfpacks defense also had a great night, and
Damiens final possession of the first half provided
the greatest evidence.
After Claremonts Ben Lynch fumbled, Damien
took over on the Packs 20-yard line giving the Spartans a big chance to get back in the game. Damien
pushed it all the way to the one-yard line, but the
Pack fought back. With a big sack on Bryan and an
incomplete pass Damien was forced to settle for a
field goal.
After the halftime break, Claremont had yet another fourth-down gambit.
Facing third and 17, Kaheaku-Paiva completed a
48-yard pass to Matt Banfield, who pushed his way to
the seven-yard line. The Pack then made three attempts to score by pushing up the middle, bringing up
fourth and two. Taking the snap Kaheaku-Paiva faked
a handoff then made a pirouette-like move and

Faced with, what else,
fourth and 10, KaheakuPaiva passed to Lynch for 34
yards, advancing to the Spartans
8-yard line. With 7:44 left to play,
Tran-Sampson walked it in on the
next play.
Asked about the aggressive fourth down
plays, Coach Jarin said it was pretty gutsy
but also praised his players.
We have a quarterback who can read a
few things, and if something presented itself
we took the opportunity. He had a great
game, Coach Jarin said. Our kids really
played hard all week. We knew Damien was
going to be our toughest foe, something we
can engage in. Im really excited about how
it turned out tonight.
While celebrating with his team, Davis,
who had a big game on offense as well as a
couple of key sacks, said about the victory,
it feels greattheres no better feeling.
Kaheaku-Paiva had six completions from
10 attempts for 141 yards total passing. He
also had four carries for 35 yards plus two
rushing touchdowns.
Tran-Sampson led the Pack in rushing
with 25 carried for 156 yards and two
touchdowns. Davis also had a good night
with 10 carries for 63 yards and a touchdown.
The team did not provide defensive stats,
however, the Packs standout middle linebacker Solomon Tuliaupupu played a key
role in shutting down the Spartan attack.
Claremont returns this Friday with another home non-conference game against
Bell Gardens.
CHS WEEKLY ROUNDUP

CROSS COUNTRY
Junior Annie Boos led a very impressive team performance for the
Wolfpack as the girls team won the
title at the Fort Steilacoom Invitational
in Washington state on Saturday, according to PrepCalTrack.
Similar to their overwhelming performance in the first Palomares
League meet last week, the team
placed 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, l4 and l6 to win by
a score of 25 to l00 over local favorite
Tahoma High School.
The boys team placed second to nationally-ranked Tahoma, 48-68, with
junior Ryan Renken taking sixth in the
race.
Meanwhile the girls junior varsity
team took first place in the varsity race

at the 35th annual Woodbridge CrossCountry Classic held over the weekend at Orange County Great Park.
BOYS WATER POLO

The Claremont High School boys
water polo team played in the very
competitive Santa Barbara tournament
recently. The boys lost to Agoura,
Murrieta Valley and Los Osos. However, they defeated Serviette and Palo
Altos Gunn.
Last week, the Pack played Damien
at Pomona-Pitzer College in front of
the largest crowd the team has ever
had. We were ahead the whole game
and then lost by one in the last eight
seconds. It was a great game and
Damien is a good team, said Coach
Kristin Rodriguez.
On Saturday, the team also participated in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer Awareness to support a players
parent as well as CHS receptionist Arcie Hadfield. Last year, the team started
selling pink shirts to raise funds for
breast cancer research and will continue this year.
Thursday the Pack took on La Serna.
We are currently ranked #1 in our division and La Serna is ranked #2 so it
should be a good game, said Coach
Rodriguez.
GIRLS TENNIS
Anchored by a sweep in doubles
play, the Claremont High School girls

$25 million gift to establish

Sontag Center for Collaborative
Creativity at the Colleges
The presidents of Pomona College, Scripps College,
Claremont McKenna College, Harvey Mudd College
and Pitzer College recently announced the establishment
of the Rick and Susan Sontag Center for Collaborative
Creativity. The centers purpose is to accelerate the creative development of students and to equip them to work
collaboratively to address the futures most ambiguous
problems and complex challenges.
18
A landmark $25 million gift from Rick Sontag, a 1964

graduate of Harvey Mudd College, and his wife, Susan
Sontag, a 1964 graduate of Pomona College, will provide the new center with both operating expenses for its
early years and endowment support to ensure its
longevity, benefiting all undergraduate students and faculty of the Claremont Colleges.
The challenges we face today call for audacious
thinkers and doers who can work collaboratively and creatively across disciplines, explained Rick Sontag. The
center will encourage students to navigate change, pull
together knowledge from a vast range of sources and
have meaningful impact on the most difficult problems
with no clear solutions.
A focus on undergraduate education and an emphasis
on the creative power of collaboration will distinguish
the Sontag Center. As part of an exceptional consortium
within higher education, the 5Cs are uniquely poised to
support the centers goals.
The opening of the new center is the culmination of a
yearlong effort involving students, faculty and staff of
the 5Cs in exploring new approaches to creative collaboration. Last year, students from every campus had the
opportunity to take part in experimental offerings ranging from a tutorial on micro-controllers to pop-up workshops on such subjects as communication through
drawing and prototype development.
Newly-created grants provided faculty with the resources to supplement existing courses with hands-on
approaches to collaborative learning and to develop innovative classes that cut across traditional disciplinary
boundaries.
Initially housed in Seeley Mudd Hall at Pomona College, the center affords students from the five liberal arts
colleges opportunities to work in creative teams.
Nicknamed The Hive, for the buzz of creative and
collaborative activity it is designed to foster, the center offers students the opportunity to participate in drop-in sessions and
unstructured brainstorming to one-hour
workshops and course-based activities,
with a variety of learning options in between.
The center will offer space for prototyping, experimentation and to use design thinking to address complex
problems.
Pomona College Associate Physics
Professor Dwight Whitaker and Harvey
Mudd Engineering Professor Patrick Little have been named co-directors of the
center during a national search for a permanent director. The presidents and deans
of the five colleges will manage and oversee the initiative.
We are enthusiastic about developing
ways to engage a wide variety of potential
participants, Mr. Whitaker said. Anyone who wants to participate should be
able to find a way to easily plug inthe
history major should feel as much a part
of this as the engineer, artist, entrepreneur
and activist.
Rick and Susan Sontag have built successful businesses and have actively supported education and medical research.
Mr. Sontag received a bachelors in
physics from Harvey Mudd College in
1964, a masters in physics from the University of Nevada at Reno and an MBA
from Harvard Business School. Ms. Sontag graduated with a degree in government from Pomona College in 1964.
The Sontags giving to the Claremont
OUR TOWN
Colleges includes naming gifts to LEEDawarded residence halls on both the

Pomona and Harvey Mudd campuses, as
well as significant gifts to expand undergraduate research. Mr. Sontag is an emeritus trustee at Harvey Mudd College.
Mr. Sontags uncle, Frederick Sontag,
was a longtime professor at Pomona College, where he taught philosophy for over
50 years.

On the Same Page to

explore Wonder of
the fifth grade
The Friends of the Claremont Library
selected Wonder by R.J. Palacio as its annual On the Same Page community read.
The nonprofit will host a series of events
in October to discuss and explore the
novel.
Wonder features young Auggie whose
first day of school, ever, is in the fifth
grade. Hes funny and bright but hes been
home schooled because of serious medical issues. However, hes ready now, and
19
he and his family come to an agreement

that he needs to start school with kids his
own age. One problem: his medical issues
are quite visible, as he was born with a
cranial malformation making him a magnet for attention, scrutiny and even revulsion.
The story takes place over one school
year, and is narrated by Auggie and several young people in his life. It is a compelling story, but the joy of the book is
getting a close look at the kids in the fifth
grade. Readers will see a lovely blossoming of the students character and independence, when its fostered by the school
community and the parents.
The community is invited to attend any
or all events held in October, which all
take place in the library meeting room at
2 p.m. Copies of the book are available at
the library. The schedule of events is as
follows:
Saturday, October 3: Masks of Wonder,
an art workshop.
Sunday, October 4: Claremont Youth
Discussion: Perspectives on Wonder.
Moderated by Sycamore teacher Lydia
Hernandez.
Saturday, October 17: This is What
Kindness Looks Like to Me art workshop
Saturday, October 18: Building the
Empathic Community panel discussion.
Panelists include Sister Terry Dodge from
Crossroads; Katie Diestelrath from Claremont Youth Services; Monica Harmon
from Speaking Out Against Bullying.

LA Fair celebrates big day for Claremonts top citizens
our of Claremonts finest citizens were honored

Thursday, September 17 during the LA County
Fairs annual Claremont Day.
In between the Community Expo and a thrilling parade,
members of Claremonts top brass took time to commend
longtime Foothill Country Day School secretary Eleanor
Pierson, Claremont Club CEO Mike Alpert, Claremont
High School senior Shea Seery and seven-year-old
leukemia survivor Jazzy Lyn.
What makes Claremont great, the greatest gift we
have, is all of you, Claremont Community Committee
Chairman Jeff Stark said. So if you look around, you are
the people that make Claremont great. And on top of the
community heroes, its the people here who go above and
beyond.
Ms. Pierson, who retired from Foothill Country Day
School in 2015 after 50 years of service, is a Claremont
stalwart, having spent all 94 of her years in the city. Both
Mr. Stark and Mayor Corey Calaycay had kind words for
Ms. Pierson from when they were children.
Eleanor was my second mother, Mr. Stark said.
What she did was make a difference not only in my life
but in thousands of kids lives and thats what this award
and being a community hero is all about.
Mike Alpert, who has been the CEO if the Claremont
Club for 18 years, was recognized for his teams work in
helping Claremonters with physical disabilities reach for
a better way of life.
I know of no business leader who has done more for
the community and cares for more people, whether its directly impactful to his business or not, than Mike Alpert,
Mr. Stark said.
Mr. Alpert was honored, if a little embarrassed about
all the pomp and circumstance surrounding his recognition.
Its very humbling, and I think the people who deserve
the award are the people who are doing work at the club,
Mr. Alpert said. The management, the team and the staff
have been so inspiring and passionate. What can I tell
you? Its a very humbling experience.
Claremont High School senior Shea Seery was recognized by the city for a litany of accomplishments, most
importantly her creation of the schools first literary journal, which showcases the eclectic talents of the student
body.
I came up with the idea my sophomore year but didnt get the validity to really publish anything until my junior year when it became a club, Shea said. So all the
student body contributed and members of the club helped
format and edit the book and it was published.
In addition to the literary journal, Shea also had two internships with Farmscape and with US Representative
Pete Aguilar, founded the schools Earthwise conservation club and attended the famed Iowa Universitys young
writers program.
The city of Claremont also recognized seven-year-old
Jazzy Lyn for her remarkable and inspiring bravery in the
face of a battle with leukemia. Jazzy was first diagnosed
when she was only three years old and took her final
chemotherapy pill in 2012. Jazzy serves as an ambassador
for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Her principal
at Condit Elementary, Christine Malally, was on hand to
talk about her uncompromising courage.
Ive never met a more inspiring young lady that is able
to endure all the experiences that Jazzy has and still be so
positive, Ms. Malally said.
All four community heroes received certificates and
awards from the city, the school board, the LA County
Fair and Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda Solis.
During the ceremony, Mayor Calaycay was quick to
point out that even though Claremont technically had one
special day at the fair, the citys footprints were felt behind the scenes.
A majority of the staff who work here are from Claremont, Mr. Calaycay said. So make no mistake about it:
we are in Pomona, but this is Claremonts fair in
Pomona.

personal representative appointed by the court
within the later of either (1) four months from the

California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the
date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate
Code.

may affect your rights as a creditor. You may
want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable
in California law.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, pursuant to the
Municipal Code of the City of Claremont and the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), that
the Planning Commission will consider a request by
Tri-City Mental Health Authority for a Conditional
Use Permit (File #15-C09), to allow permanent supportive housing for two families in the existing structure at 956 W. Baseline Road.
The hearing will be held on Tuesday, October 6,
2015, 7 p.m., in the City Council Chamber, located
at 225 W. Second Street. At this time, all interested
persons are invited to appear and be heard.
Copies of the application are available at Claremont
City Hall, Planning Division, 207 Harvard Avenue,
Monday through Thursday, 7 a.m. until 6 p.m. For
more information on the proposal, please contact
Assistant Planner Nikola Hlady, (909) 399-5470, or
send written comments to P.O. Box 880, Claremont,
CA 91711-0880, or via email to nhlady@ci.claremont.ca.us. If you would also like to be notified
electronically about this specific project in the future, please provide your email address to
nhlady@ci.claremont.ca.us, and your email will be
added to our project file.
NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that City staff has
determined that the Conditional Use Permit for the
proposed use is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA), pursuant to Section 15301, in that the proposal entails the use of an existing single-family residence as a supportive housing facility for no more
than two families with no expansion of existing facilities beyond landscaping and interior alterations.
It is not anticipated that the existing structure will
house more than six individuals, including at least
two adults. As such, the project is exempt because
the activity involves a negligible expansion from the
existing single-family use to use of the property by
two families on a property that is zoned for multifamily housing.
Therefore, no further environmental review is needed
at this time.
Finally, in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, any person with a disability
who requires a modification or accommodation in
order to participate in a City meeting should contact
the City Clerk at 909/399 5461 VOICE or 1800/735-2929 TT/TTY at least three working days
prior to the meeting, if possible.

described is being sold as is. The street address
and other common designation, if any, of the real
property described above is purported to be: 777
NEWBURY WAY, DIAMOND BAR, CA 917654625 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and
other common designation, if any, shown herein.
Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty,
express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of
the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances
if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated
fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the

In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashiers
check drawn on a state or national bank, a check
drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check
drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified
in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and

monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder
shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential
Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks
involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be
bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing
the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of
the property. You should also be aware that the lien
being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are
the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be
responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien
being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title
to the property. You are encouraged to investigate
the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens
that may exist on this property by contacting the
county recorder's office or a title insurance company,
either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you
should be aware that the same Lender may hold more
than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property.
Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on
this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more
times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a
court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California

Notice of Divided Publication
Pursuant to Sections 3702, 3381, and
3382, Revenue and Taxation Code
(R&TC), the Notice of Sale of Tax Defaulted Property Subject to the Power of Sale in and for the
County of Los Angeles, State of California has been
divided and distributed to various newspapers of
general circulation published in said County for
publication of a portion thereof, in each of the said
newspapers.
Public Auction Notice Of Sale
Of Tax-Defaulted Property Subject
To The Tax Collector's Power to Sell
(Sale No. 2015A)
Whereas, on July 21, 2015, I, JOSEPH KELLY,
Treasurer and Tax Collector, was directed by the
Board of Supervisors of Los Angeles County, State
of California, to sell at public auction certain taxdefaulted properties which are subject to the Tax
Collector's power to sell. Public notice is hereby
given that unless said properties are redeemed prior
thereto, I will, on Monday, October 19, 2015, and
Tuesday, October 20, 2015, at the hour of 9:00 a.m.
at the Fairplex Los Angeles County Fairgrounds,
1101 W. McKinley Avenue, Building 6, Pomona,
California, offer for sale and sell said properties at
public auction to the highest bidder for cash or

cashier's check in lawful money of the United States
for not less than the minimum bid. If no bids are received on a parcel, it will be re-offered at the end of
the public auction at a reduced minimum bid.
The minimum bid for each parcel is the total
amount necessary to redeem, plus costs, as required
by Section 3698.5 of the Revenue and Taxation
Code.
Any unimproved properties that are not sold at the
end of the public auction on
October 20, 2015, or redeemed prior to 5:00 p.m.
(PT) December 4, 2015, I will re-offer for sale beginning Monday, December 7, 2015, at 10:00 a.m.
(PT) through Wednesday,
December 9, 2015, at 12:00 p.m. (PT) at online auction at
www.bid4assets.com/losangeles.
Prospective bidders should obtain detailed information of Sale No. 2015A from the County Treasurer and Tax Collector. Pre-registration and a
$5,000 deposit in the form of cash, cashier's check
or bank issued money order is required at the time
of registration. The TTC will not accept personal
checks, two-party checks or business checks for
registration. Registration will be from 8:00 a.m.
to 5:00 p.m., beginning Monday, September 14,
2015, at the Treasurer and Tax Collector's Office
located at 225 North Hill Street, Room 130, Los
Angeles, California, and will end Friday, October
2, 2015, at 5:00 p.m.
Pursuant to R&TC Section 3692.3, the TTC sells
all property ``as is`` and the County and its employees are not liable for any known or unknown
conditions of the property, including, but not limited to, errors in the assessor's records pertaining
to improvement of the property.
If the property is sold, parties of interest, as defined by R&TC Section 4675, have a right to file
a claim with the County for any proceeds from
the sale, which are in excess of the liens and costs
required to be paid from the proceeds. If there
are any excess proceeds, the TTC will send notice to the parties of interest, pursuant to law.
All information concerning redemption, provided
the right to redeem has not previously been terminated, will upon request be furnished by
JOSEPH KELLY, Treasurer and Tax Collector.
According to law, if the property is not redeemed
by the close of business on the last business day
prior to the date of the auction, Friday October
16, 2015, at 5:00 p.m., the property will be offered for sale. If the property is not sold at the
public auction, the right of redemption will revive
and remain until Friday, December 4, 2015, at
5:00 p.m. If the property is not redeemed by Friday, December 4, 2015, at 5:00 p.m., it will be
scheduled for the follow-up online auction as indicated above.
The Assessor's Identification Number (AIN) in
this publication refers to the Assessor's map book,
the map page, and the individual parcel number
on the map page. If a change in the AIN occurred,
both prior and current AINs are shown. An explanation of the parcel numbering system and the
maps referred to are available from the Office of
the Assessor located at 500 West Temple Street,

The recent sale of our Claremont home presented some very

unique challenges. Carlos and Pat handled my former home
as if it were their own. They kept me informed,
responded with professionalism and reassurance, and made
sure that as their customers, my ex-husband and I were their
top priority. The house ended up selling for higher than
asking price. I recommend Carlos and Pat Samuelson with
complete confidence and a heart full of gratitude.
