Dear Editor:
We understand the concerns that Mr.
Marks indicates in his letter to the
COURIER (October 23 edition), and share
his frustration regarding the large-scale
pool repairs needed at El Roble. However,
as a public entity of the state of California,
we must adhere to the strict guidelines on
the design and construction of schools set
forth by the state and the Division of State
Architect (DSA).
Before submitting a plan for review and
approval to the DSA, the Claremont Unified School District must first hire a consultant who specializes in these types of
projects to determine whether we can just
repair the pool or if the repairs will trigger
work on the boys and girls locker rooms.
There are numerous layers in the
process of submitting for plan review to receiving final approval from the DSA, and
this process could take two to six months.
It is also possible that if we need to repair
the pool and locker rooms, upgrades
throughout the El Roble campus may be
needed to ensure compliance with the
Americans with Disabilities Act.
Please know that the entire board of education realizes the significance of the El
Roble pool as a resource for our students
and for the community. We are doing our
best to work diligently and swiftly within
a cumbersome process.

CUSD Superintendent

The price of security

Dear Editor:
I plan to vote no on Measure PS (Palace
of Security?) and urge my fellow Claremont residents to do the same. Obviously,
we need a police station that meets current
code and policy requirements, and the police officers and staff deserve comfortable
and efficient working conditions.
The proposed project, however, is disproportionate to the needs and means of
Claremonters in every way: size, price and
method of financing. Public safety is
squarely within the range of services traditionally paid for through an equitably
progressive taxation method such as an income or property tax.
John Norvell
Claremont

Now is the time

Dear Editor:
One of the main objections to the parcel
tax (Measure PS) has been that its financing will cost more than that of a general
obligation bond. That would be true if both
borrowings were made at the same time in
the same interest-rate environment.
Rejecting the parcel tax now and trying
for a general obligation bond later will entail a delay in borrowing. The Federal Reserve is about to raise short-term interest
rates, which will probably push up longterm (i.e., bond) interest rates. In addition,
developing countries exports are down, so
they are now selling rather than buying US
Treasury bonds. This depresses the demand for the bonds, thereby increasing the
interest rate which they must pay. The rate
paid on these bonds is the basis for all other
long-term borrowing, such as that on a
citys general obligation bond. By the time

we pass a later ballot measure to issue a


general obligation bond, the interest rate
will be higher than it would be today.
We dont have the option to choose a
general obligation bond on the November
ballot. I wish we did, but we dont. The
soonest we could approve a general obligation bond will be in the June 2016 primary election. Thats seven months later.
Every step in the financing will be seven
months later. A lot can change in seven
months. We may achieve no savings in interest costs if we reject the parcel tax now
and approve a general obligation bond
seven months later. The interest expense
may even be higher. Delay would be a
gamble, and the odds would be poor because the trend would be against us.
The fiscally conservative and prudent
course of action is to approve the parcel tax
now, while interest rates are still at historic
lows and before they rise.
Measure PS sets a ceiling, not a floor, on
the borrowing. It doesnt mandate the size,
cost or location of the police station. These
can be adjusted later, if the citys residents
push the council to do it. If the cost of the
station is reduced, we will borrow less and
our annual assessment will be less, too.
We shouldnt pass up historically cheap
financing because we dont like other features of the plan which are not locked in
by approval of the financing alone.

Plan B

Bob Gerecke
Claremont

Dear Editor:
Some of the comments attributed to
Corey Calaycay and Michael Shea from
the October 15 Active Claremont meeting
reported in the COURIER appear to be
built on false assumptions.
Residents are not rejecting the need for
a new police station, they are rejecting
many of the faulty provisions in Measure
PS. The mayor and Mr. Shea seem to be
hearing something different. Mr. Calaycay
said, If the community...says its not
right...Council will respect that and well
move on to other things. Mr. Shea seemed
to reinforce the mayors position with his
remark to the question about Measure PS
failing. Well, that means we do nothing.
If this problem has been going on since
2002, weve already done enough of
nothing. Not being responsive to coming up with an immediate alternative if
Measure PS fails seems to be sour grapes.
Doing nothing and quitting is not what
most of the citizens comments have reflected. A majority of the COURIER comments from opponents to Measure PS have
recognized that the current police station
is inadequate and that the police force has
been doing an exemplary job in spite of
limitations. They want a Plan B that eliminates the major problems raised about
Measure PS, and still supports our police.
Based on their observations, Plan B
would be a more utilitarian proposal, an efficient and economical vehicle, not a Cadillaca 20,000-square-foot building, not a
40,000-square-foot one. Plan B would
throw out the uneconomical parcel tax and
replace it with a general obligation bond or
commercial loan paid from city taxes.
Plan B would consider partnership with
Montclair, which already has excess facil-

would be put to the citizens expediently,

Mayor Calaycay and Mr. Shea are to be
thanked for their public service. Trying to
satisfy the diversity of perspectives and
values found in our community guarantees
conflict and is assuredly frustrating.
If Measure PS fails, I would encourage
the council to not give up. Instead, they
should identify the primary arguments that
dragged down Measure PS, then have the

Claremont COURIER/Friday, October 30, 2015

Yes to the police station; no on Measure PS

fter much collective soul-searching, the COURIER has decided to


recommend a no vote on Measure
PS, a $50 million bond measure to fund a
new police station that will appear on the
November 2 ballot. We want it known,
however, that we fully support construction of a new facilityand fast.
Residents have become aware of the terrible working conditions faced by our police force, and decided
they need to be remedied. In that sense, the Measure
PS campaign has been hugely successful.
Its embarrassing to know what poor conditions our
officers are working under. In fact, its unacceptable.
And the problems with our police station go beyond
just being outdated and an eyesore. They pose safety
and compliance issues, leaving the city vulnerable to
accidents and litigation. Unfortunately, the current
bond measurewhile well-intentionedis problematic.
At community meetings and in letters to the
COURIER, dozens of residents have expressed consternation at the price tag and lack of specifics for the
proposed police facility. The lack of enthusiasm doesnt
mean the community doesnt care. It means we want
greater prudence and creativity in the crafting of the
bond measure. We urge city staff and council to incor-

porate the feedback that has been gathered.


There really is no mechanism to take that input and
apply it to the proposal when the particulars of the
measure are already set in ink. Since day one, its felt
like a one-way street. The citys goal has been to explain how they reached a price tag of $50 million, not
use the public input to address concerns or make the
measure better. The lack of a plan b has turned town
halls into occasions to simply promote the bill, which is
off-putting to voters.
Like a recent bond measure that was rejected for the
schools, Measure PS lacks real specifics on how the
money is going to be spent. Given the number-one
issue is the overall size and cost of the measure, these
details are critical in justifying the price tag. The current city administration is fully capable of managing
the Measure PS budget. This is not an issue of trust.
The city selected the parcel tax mechanism to include nonprofits, schools and the Colleges in the payback. The parcel tax, however, results in residents
paying an extra $400,000 annually. The citys effort to
make contributions more equitable will cost more than
$17 million over the life of the bond. A general obligation bond is a more sensible financing method for a
project this size.
In the end, our objection is one shared by many residents. Nearly everyone is in agreement that the city
needs a new police station. But the proposal needs to
be fine-tuned, with a reduction of costs overall. Its especially important that the city show a bit more fiscal

conservatism at a time when Claremonters are still paying for the bonds used to fund the acquisition of Johnsons Pasture and to fuel the effort to acquire the water
system.
We dont recommend starting from scratch. The conceptual plans are close, but there are some lingering
questions. The location works, but can we slightly reduce the size of the buildings? Can we move the proposed station closer to the city yard so that less land can
be purchased? Can a better deal be worked out with
Holliday Rock and for the site work? Can we eliminate
the 40-year finance of the radio communication system
and find a separate funding source for that $3.8 million? Given the volume of calls our police respond to at
the Colleges, can they pony up more than $1 million?
With an expense this large, the timing will never be
perfect. There will always be projects and financial issues the city is wrestling with. A new police station will
always seem expensive and, if we keep kicking this can
down the road, it wont get any cheaper.
We urge the city council and staff to move quickly.
Ideally, Measure PS could be modified and reintroduced at the June 7, 2016 primary election, giving city
staff a few months to digest resident feedback and present a plan we will all get behind.
Were a thoughtful community that is willing to undertake obligations because its the right thing to do.
And here we want to do the right thing for our police.
Lets do the right thing well.

Foothill Master Plan is finalized, approved by council

he Claremont City
Council voted to approve the Foothill
Boulevard Master Plan and
transferred extra funds to the city
surplus during a packed Tuesday
meeting.

The master plan was more than two


years in the making. Its main tenets call
for planting trees and drought-tolerant foliage along relatively bare parts of Foothill
such as the east and west entrances, installing bike lanes along the entire length
of the boulevard, installing new entry
signs, creating bioswales along the road
to catch water runoff.
Its been a long process, a lot of work,
City Planner Chris Viers said during his
presentation. Were trying to create a vision that is shared by the entire community.
The city began working on the master
plan when Claremont gained control over
Foothill from Caltrans in 2012. According to Mr. Viers, it was the end result of
20 interviews, two public workshops,
three neighborhood meetings and an extensive dialogue with Claremonters who
will be affected by the plan.
The plan divides Claremonts portion
of Foothill into three subsections: the
western section, which runs east from
Towne Avenue to Mountain Avenue, the
central section, which runs from Mountain to Yale Avenue, and the eastern section, which runs from Yale to Monte
Vista.
The central section received the most
scrutiny from the council and from speakers during public comment, specifically

COURIERphoto/Peter Weinberger
The most hotly-debated topic in the Foothill Boulevard Master Plan at Tuesdays
council meeting was plans for the south side of Foothill from Mountain Avenue east
to Berkeley.

the south side of Foothill that runs east


from Mountain to Berkeley. The original
plan called for pulling shrubs that were
deemed inappropriate, paving a sidewalk and relandscaping with other trees
and plants.
A second alternative called for planting
additional trees and shrubs for a denser
landscape and doing away with the sidewalk altogether. The third option would
have left the section essentially as is, save
for the general clean-up and a bike lane.
Most speakers, many who live in
homes with backyard fences that abut
Foothill, did not approve of the original
plan of installing the south side sidewalk
in the central section. These residents
were largely opposed to the removal of
landscaping that provides a shield from
traffic noise and dust from the busy thoroughfare. Ultimately, council agreed and

eliminated the plan for a sidewalk on the


south side of the central segment.
The intersection of Mountain and
Foothill will also be revamped under the
plan.
Ladder-style crosswalk striping will be
painted around the perimeter of the intersection to allow for greater pedestrian visibility. In addition, the stop bar will be
slightly pulled back to increase distance
between stopped cars and pedestrians.
The modifications will eliminate the
ability to make a U-turn at the Mountain/Foothill intersection, according to Mr.
Viers. Instead, a U-turn opportunity will
be installed at Colby Circle for eastbound
motorists who want to travel west.
Overall, the plan will last up to 15 years
and will commence in three phases. Phase
one primarily includes creating bike lanes,
bioswales, and planting trees where

needed; phase two includes more landscaping and planting more trees; and
phase three includes construction of new
storm drains and parkway enhancements.
Throughout the plan, public art will be
installed whenever funds from the public
art program are available.
A 50-minute public comment session
followed Mr. Viers presentation, with 15
speakers making cases for and against.
Thats the longest public comment
section weve had since Ive been mayor,
Mayor Corey Calaycay remarked after the
last speaker left the dais.
During the initial presentation, Mr.
Viers acknowledged a significant pushback to a sidewalk from residents whose
property line extends to Foothill.
Melissa Paul took issue with the look
of the proposal, calling the existing area a
beautiful little ecosystem.
We dont want something that looks
like Irvine. This is Claremont, she said.
Judy Conan mentioned her petition
against the master plan garnered 101 signatures from her neighborhood. She favored the central segments second
option, calling it more lush.
The council dissected different aspects
of the plan during discussion. Mr. Calaycay brought forth the possibility of creating a two-lane bikeway on the north end
of Foothill to deter cyclists from pedaling
the wrong way. Councilmember Sam Pedroza, himself an avid cyclist, said the
idea of a two-lane bikeway scares the
hell out of [him].
Concerns were raised about the proposed sidewalk in the south side of the
central segment. Mr. Calaycay argued that
installing sidewalks over existing sewer
lines would make future repairs to those

sewers difficult and costly.


I heard loud and clear, not tonight, but over the past
years, that people do not want that sidewalk, Mr. Pedroza said. And I can understand that, and I appreciate
that. People have moved away and new residents have
come in and said no, we do not want that sidewalk. So
the message is loud and clear.
The master plan passed unanimously, 5-0.
Revenues better than expected
Also on the agenda was a general fund update that revealed a surplus of $1,303,122. According to the report
by city finance director Adam Pirrie, about $1 million
will be transferred to the citys surplus while the rest will
remain in the general fund.
According to Mr. Pirrie, the surplus is primarily the
result of better-than-expected revenues in several categories, which includes property taxes, state-mandated
claims and reimbursements, building permits and plan
check fees, as well as sales and transient occupancy taxes.
According to the report, savings in the past year also
included funding for the Measure PS election and the effort to acquire the Claremont water system.
Mr. Nasiali applauded the conservative budget-making by the city, pointing out that 2015 is the fourth year
in a row the city is blessed with a surplus.
Mr. Calaycay noted that the city resisted a utility tax
when faced with a $3 million deficit after the downturn
in 2008, instead downsizing and making budget adjustments to right the ship. The motion passed, 5-0.
Eminent domain litigation

The council also had a closed-session hearing before


the public meeting. According to City Manager Tony
Ramos, the council was given updates on the continuing
eminent domain litigation against Golden State Water
Company. Council took no action on the matter.
Public comment on Measure PS
Exactly one week before the election, Measure PS
dominated the public comment session for the second
consecutive council meeting. Resident Sally Seven cautioned the council not to take a rejection of the measure
as an outright rejection of the citys police, but an impetus to come up with something better in the near future.
Ms. Seven also suggested the Colleges, which would
be exempt from paying under a general obligation bond,
should provide the nearly $4 million for equipment costs.
Larry Horowitz, a former police officer and current
teacher at Claremont High School, noted the importance
of passing PS. He claimed the police force has been garnering new responsibilities, and Claremont needs a new
station to meet those responsibilities.Mr. Horowitz derided those who were against the measure, calling their
claims not evidence-based and hyperbole.
Councilmember Joe Lyons stated there is no discussion remaining on the need of a new police station.
I come away satisfied knowing we did what each of
us during our campaigns for election did, in fact, promise we would do, Mr. Lyons said. And that is to give
people the opportunity to vote on an issue that each of us
committed to bring forward if warranted.
The council meets again on November 10.

The Democratic Club of Claremont held a presidential straw poll at their Village Venture booth
this past Saturday. The poll was a follow-up to the
one run at their Independence Day booth. The current results showed Hillary Clinton winning over
Bernie Sanders by four votes. Ms. Clintons total
was 122 while Mr. Sanders received 118 votes.
Martin OMalley received seven votes.

Claremont police determined that he was
too drunk to remain on the streets. Officers made contact with Mr. Sanchez on
the corner of First Street and Oberlin Avenue at approximately 5 p.m., according
to Lt. Ciszek. When the cops arrived, Mr.
Sanchez told them about the aforementioned friend, but then said his mother
was driving from San Bernardino to pick
him up. He also said that he probably
had three beers, but insisted he was
okay. After running tests, officers determined that Mr. Sanchez was too drunk to
stay out and was transported to the CPD
jail to sober up.
Sunday, October 25
Early Sunday morning, an intoxicated
Claremont teen thought it was a good
idea to take a joyride through the Packing House garage. Claremont police
spotted 19-year-old Grant Gutierrez racing through the multi-level parking structure in his silver Dodge Durango at
approximately 3:27 a.m. When the
speed-demon was stopped at the roof
level of the building, officers determined
that Mr. Gutierrezs blood alcohol con-

tent was over twice the legal limit. Mr.


Gutierrez also had a suspended license.
Upon further review of his records, police determined that Mr. Gutierrez had a
previous DUI with injury on his record,
and was put on a probation hold through
San Bernardino County.
Tuesday, October 27
Early Tuesday morning, Claremont
police arrested two people on suspicion
of burglarizing two open garages in Upland. Officers pulled a black Honda Accord over near the intersection of Arrow
Route and College Avenue after the car
made subtle efforts to shake the squad
car, according to Lt. Ciszek. During the
traffic stop and subsequent investigation,
officers determined the occupants, 41year-old Jennifer Harkins and 32-yearold Cary Reed of Ontario, were in
possession of the stolen goods. They
were both arrested and later released to
Upland PD to be booked in San

The good, the bad and the in between


by Mellissa Martinez

t is quite clear that our four-year-old


Felix has his mind set on dressing as a
bad guy for Halloween this year. So far,
the costumes being considered are Darth
Vader, a vampire and the bad Batman. Just
the mention of a villain or corrupted good
guy causes his eyes to sparkle and a sneaky
grin to creep over his face.
Although some parents might worry about this, I see
it as a parody of adult behavior. We grown-ups also
have a tendency to put a positive spin on not-so-positive
people. Over time, there have been many bad guys who
have been etymologically romanticized. Consider rascal, scoundrel or bandit. All of these came to English with entirely negative connotations. Rascal
initially meant a low class, tricky or dishonest person.
It comes from the Latin rasciare to scrape, which also
led to rash. Its transformation from criminal to mischievous came from its recurring playful use in the
16th century. By the 17th century, rascal was almost
entirely devoid of true pejorative connotation.
Bandit comes from the Italian bandito meaning
outlaw. Related words in English are ban, banish
and contraband. Although the meaning of bandit is
still negative, the expression has been glorified in
American culture. We use it to brand T-shirts, wines and
tools. And who didnt want to be (or be with) the likable
bad guy in the 70s favorite Smokey and the Bandit?
The devil is another bad guy who has enjoyed some
positive publicity. The playful use of the word came
about in the 16th century when devil was used to describe a clever rogue. Now, the evildoer is represented
in playing cards, vacuums, coffee and clothing. Not to
mention the many expressions in English such as lucky

LEX
IN THE

CITY
devil, handsome devil, little devil and devilish good
looks...all with positive connotations.
Some bad guys gain acceptance within specific social
groups or genres. It can be argued that Western movies
popularized the word desperado, which originally
meant reckless criminal. Similarly, rap culture has embraced terms like gangster and thug. Thug comes
from the Hindi thag, which likely came from Sanskrit
sthaga meaning cunning, fraudulent or covered (also
the root of stegosaurus!). The original Indian meaning
was murderers and robbers who strangled their victims
(for religious zeal). When it came to English in the
1600s, thug meant ruffian, cutthroat or violent lowbrow.
Within the realm of rap culture, thug now has an arguably sadder but less evil meaning. According to rapper Tupac Shakur a thug is someone who is going
through struggles, and continues to live day by day with
nothing [gained] from them. Sounds somewhat like a
desperado to me. Although a thug might be considered
as a guy down on his luck in the realm of music, the
word retains its unfavorable flavor in the larger platform. This was evident when President Obama found
himself in hot water last year for using it to describe
young black protesters in Baltimore.
In fact, the use of use of bad guy and good guy by
politicians and military leaders has led to further pub-

lic disgruntlement. In recent years, presidents and military officials have adopted the expressions bad guys
and good guys to simplify some very complicated situations. They refer to attackers as bad guys who want
to hurt us (the good guys) because they dont like our
politics, religion, etc. Some complain that this simplification is infantile. A journalist for AlJazeera recently
addressed the issue by writing, The first time I heard
a government official use the term, I cringed. Bad guy
is the term parents use to describe criminals to their
four-year-olds, on the premise that young children lack
the capacity for any more nuanced understanding.
Of course, he is correct. For my four-year-old, bad
guys are bad and good guys are good. This is perhaps
due to messages he receives from society and his parents. It is possible, however, that at this young age, Felix
has picked up on the fact that there isnt always a clear
line. Time and usage have a way of changing the meanings of words, or sometimes the way we perceive good
and bad. And, as if to illustrate this, he has finally decided on his costumehe will be a vampire, a good
vampire, for Halloween.

The alleyway
by Jan Wheatcroft

n the island of Samos, Greece, I


lived in a small hovel of a house
built into the old Orthodox Church
and entered from a very thin alleyway. I
walked along this cobblestone passage to
throw my garbage into the sea, the only way
to dispose of refuse at the time.
I was preparing to go by a small fishing boat or kayiki
to a neighboring island that was only reachable by local
fishing boats. I, along with a few others, had been invited
to a local wedding on the island and it was to be very traditional, with village folk dancing and the music made on
the old instruments rarely seen any longer. All the old
customs of visiting both the brides and grooms homes
to watch them publicly being dressed and prepared for
the marriage were to be performed as well. My children
were included in the invitation. We would stay there
sleeping in the rough for a few days.
As I returned from the tossing of the garbage, a neighbor, Kyria Eleni, stepped out of her door to invite me into
her kitchen for a cup of Greek coffee. She was a widow,
bent with age and a hard life, covered from head to toe
in black clothing. I dipped my head to enter her small
room and then sat and watched her make the coffee.
She took a small copper pot with a long handle and
then poured enough water for just one cup, which she
placed on a single burner heated by bottled gas. She
added a scoop of powdered coffee grounds and two
scoops of sugar and stirred the small pot until the mixture
came to a boil. The pot was removed for a minute to let
the bubbling settle down and then was placed on the fire
for a second time and again brought to a boil. Then she

poured in into a small cup and handed it to me. I drank it


slowly, savoring its strength and its sweetness. Homemade coffee was always better than that from a cafe.
When I had finished, she took the cup from me and as
I stood up to leave she said, Sit. Sit quietly and I will
read your fortune from the grounds. I have always enjoyed having my coffee grounds read so I happily sat and
tipped the cup upside down onto the saucer and let it rest.
After a few moments, Kyria Eleni picked up the cup and
studied the patterns that had formed. She smiled and said,
You will have visitors from America. They are coming
to see you. I smiled and thanked her both for the coffee
and the fortune she had seen in my cup. However, I knew
that no one was coming. Who did I know in the States
who would visit me on my small island in Greece?
I gathered my boys and our bags and we went down
to the harbor. We climbed onto the fishing boat and attended the wedding on the tiny island of Agathanisi, also
known as the goat island.
This small island is very dry and barren. The village is
at the top, a good hard walk up. Small huts and fishing
boats lined the simple harbor at the bottom. All our goats
for Easter meals came from here as well as a great deal
of good fish. We climbed up to the top to the only cafe on
the island, which was being readied for the wedding festivities. Suddenly someone called my name and shouted

that I had a phone call.


The cafe had the only phone on the island and I was
surprised that someone was calling me. It was my neighbor Eftihula, calling to tell me that my cousin Patty and
her new husband had just arrived and were looking for
me. The coffee grounds had told the truth. Eftihula
arranged for them to come to the island on another fishing boat. They would arrive in time for the wedding.
We walked to both the grooms house and the brides
house to watch each of them being dressed by family
members and friends. Each stood passively as they were
clothed in island finery, and then money was tossed onto
the beds for good luck and prosperity in beginning of
their new life together. The boat arrived and Patty and
her new husband Alan had arrived in time to participate
in the wedding festivities.
In the church, the bride and groom were walked
around with double crowns held over their heads, and
large candles were burned. It seemed very fitting that my
cousins had just said their vows and now they were able
to celebrate at a local Greek wedding.
Afterwards, everyone walked the few steps to the cafe
where the villagers had prepared wonderful food to share
and each guest was given a small bag of sugared almonds
as a gift to remember the day. The musicians played their
traditional stringed instruments and dancing went on late
into the night.
I asked Patty why she hadnt let me know she was
coming. She said she had sent me a letter but I had never
received it. It didnt matter. Everyone was made welcome, beds were found, food was abundant and swimming was right in front of us for all the days we
celebrated and rested. For them, it was a special way to
begin a honeymoon, one they have always remembered.

Claremont COURIER/Friday, October 30, 2015

Now is the time for PS

Dear Editor:
What a bargain! We can get an even
more functional police force and cut the
risk of new lawsuits for a mere 78 cents
a day from each Claremont property. I
suspect that many (maybe most) of us
are saving much more by cutting back
our water consumption.
In my view, our CPD is very, very
good despite having mini-offices, obsolete facilities and some technology support items from decades ago.
My view is that the Claremont community should seize this chance to take
advantage of the current bond rates and
the benefit of discounted future dollars
to get this long overdue community improvement that weve been studying for
too many years.
Larry Scheetz
Claremont

No on PS misses $27 million

Dear Editor:
I called the city of Montclair and
asked how much their police station cost
to build and did they have some breakdown of that cost. The staff person said it
was funded in 2005 and completed in
2007 and cost $31 million to build. That
is, $25 million for the building and $6
million for the design, furnishings and
utilities. There was no cost included for
the land since they already had it. It was
uncertain whether the cost for the radio
system was included.
Using the Turner Index for inflation
for non-residential construction, I escalated the $31 million to 2017 dollars and
got $40 million. Since the no on PS side
has been comparing the Montclair site to
the Claremont pit site, I added Claremonts estimate of $11 million for site
work. A more reasonable estimate should
be $40 + $11 = $51 million for the Montclair facility and not the $24 million
shown on their campaign materials.
Mike McKenna
Claremont

Vote no on Measure PS

Dear Editor:
I support our police and think they are
doing a fine job of keeping Claremont
one of the safest cities in our area. I also
believe they need and deserve better facilities. However, I am deeply disappointed in our city leadership for
proposing such an irresponsible and extravagant facility that exceeds the needs
of our community and police force.
Vote no to send this back to the drawing board for a more financially responsible project. A few million will upgrade
the current police offices to a high quality and less than half the proposed
amount would provide a new very adequate facility with a scope more appropriate to the size of our community and
police force.
Our city leadership has shown total
disregard for their duties as stewards of
taxpayer dollars in proposing such a lavish project when we are currently acquiring more city debt than is prudent.
Please vote no to remind our leadership of their financial responsibilities and
their obligation to be more responsible
with our tax dollars. John Glasscock
Claremont

READERS COMMENTS
Support our police, not PS

Dear Editor:
I hope every registered voter in Claremont will vote November 3 and hope we
all realize Measure PS does not ask if we
support our police or think they need
more space. For most of us, those are
givens.
I understand the great pressure to support our officers for their service, to support our council for their good intentions,
and to have this over and done with.
However, I cannot forget that if Measure
PS passes, we would have to pay an extra
$400,000 each and every year to money
lenders because the flat parcel tax is such
an expensive way to fund it. The choice
has been justified by telling us it makes
nonprofits contribute, but their contributions would offset less than a fourth of
the extra expense.
Over the 40 years of the parcel tax,
Claremonters collectively would pay an
extra $17.4 million (according to city figures) above what financing a General
Obligation (GO) bond would costjust
so the nonprofits dont get a free ride?
With a GO bond, any Claremont residence valued below $490,000 would pay
less than the $286 per year that Measure
PS would cost; properties valued above
$490,000 would pay more, the amount
depending on value.
Read the measure; theres no flexibility
in it: $286 per parcel per year for 40
years. Theres a better solution: reject the
parcel tax and get a revised proposal
ready for the June 2016 primary ballot,
based on a GO bond. Using actual space
requirements, we could consider whether
or not the core police functions should remain downtown, with others elsewhere,
and reach a needs-based facilities plan.
Voters would approve an appropriately sized and financed proposal. Measure PS represents a specific, and I believe
an unwise, solution to a problem. We can
say no to it and yet support our police
and our council.
Sally Seven
Claremont

A Plan B for consideration

Dear Editor:
Using Google Earth, I estimated that
the easternmost one-third of the city yard
property is utilized by our sanitation division. Free up that space by contracting
sanitation services and there may be
enough room for police and community
services to share the site.
By contracting sanitation services, we
will most likely save money by eliminating the associated salaries, pension funding, Workers Compensation claims, fuel,
repairs and vehicle replacement costs.
Weve already contracted the sweeping,
lets make the next logical move.
Still not enough room? Move community services to the existing police
station site. They should have plenty of
operational space as they have downsized over the years by contracting park,
landscape and tree services. Yes, it will
be a little less convenient for community
services vehicle fueling and servicing but
much easier for police vehicles, which is

probably a wash overall as far as efficiency goes. Moving community services to the PD site downtown will have
another positive benefit as theyll now be
closer to the mothership on Harvard.
Im just trying to think logically
herecosts unknown.
Jeff Barnes
Claremont

Yes on PS

Dear Editor:
Claremont voters will be headed to the
polls in a few days to decide a critical
need for the health and safety of our
community. The current police facility
has run its course and can no longer provide the quality service needed for Claremont. The COURIER has acknowledged
the need for a new station and the Inland
Valley Daily Bulletin has endorsed Measure PS after a lengthy presentation by
and interrogation of knowledgeable
community people and elected officials.
I was present at Village Venture at the
Yes on PS booth and had the opportunity
to listen to Claremont residents concerns.
Those I spoke with acknowledged, without exception, the need for a new building. Cost was a concern, but most interesting was the concern of response times
if the new station is built on Monte Vista.
I got the impression that these folks
thought calls for police service meant
sending officers from the station.
Modern police procedure is predicated
on a field response, not a station response. In general, officers are in the
field patrolling and when a call is received response time can be under two
to three minutes at worst. I know first-

hand it is much faster than the fire department responding from their stations.
Minutes count in an emergency.
The opposition appears to be a shadow
group of people who have not made their
identities known to the public at large.
They are not registered with the California Fair Political Practices Commission.
There is no reasonable way to vet the information the group purports.
The contrarians to Measure PS use
broad sweeping language with no substance to support their position. There is
nothing in print by the contrarians with
specific alternatives or costs for their version of an acceptable facility for Claremont. All they have done is complain
about a cost they cannot even address
with a viable alternative. I really question what their true intentions to our
communitys health and safety are. They
are not contributing any solutions.
The research has been done. The cost
and financing options have been analyzed ad nauseum by competent professionals whose expertise far exceeds
anything the opposition has offered. I
spoke with a local business owner Saturday and confirmed with him that he cannot plan an expansion of his business
without a sound business plan to secure
financing. The city has the plan. It is a
sound, equitable solution for financing a
critical need for all of our community.
I can say with a degree of certainty
that costs will only rise. If what was observed in the wake of hurricane Patricia
this past weekend is an indication of
what southern California may see this
winter, $50 million will be a bargain,
provided materials are even available.
Just look at post-Katrina New Orleans
today. Vote yes on Measure PS.

Claremont COURIER/Friday, October 30, 2015

Justice has keen advice for students during public Q&A

upreme Court justice Sonia Sotomayor brought her wealth of


knowledge to a packed Bridges Auditorium crowd Thursday evening.
The event was framed first as a conversation with
Pomona College politics professor Amanda HollisBrusky, then as a Q&A with students from the Colleges.
Ms. Hollis-Brusky asked Ms. Sotomayor, who was
the first Latina judge appointed to the nations highest
court, about her 2013 book, My Beloved World. Ms.
Hollis-Brusky, commending Ms. Sotomayor for writing a memoir so openly, so candidly, so personally
about her life, asked if she took a risk by publishing
the book.
Any time you open yourself up, you run the risk
of being vulnerable, she responded.
Ms. Sotomayor then talked about the advice she received when trying to put words to paper. My editor
said, Authenticity. Be genuine in your book. Speak
from the heart, she said. I try to learn from other
peoples advice. And I started to think about what
could my book add to the body of knowledge about
me. And I realized that what would be valuable to
some people might be the lessons Ive learned living.
Ms. Sotomayor spoke for an hour, first chatting
with Ms. Hollis-Brusky on the stage and then stepping down to move around the audience while answering questions from students. The first question,
from student Jonathan Contreras, dealt with how Ms.
Sotomayor keeps her Latina identity in mainstream
society.
If you want people to listen, you have to be better
than they are, she said. But it doesnt mean you
have to lose yourself in that. Hold on to who you are.
Its not a question to learning how to improve your-

Sonia Sotomayor takes questions from a pre-selected
set of college students on Thursday at Bridges Auditorium on the Pomona College campus.

self in a different area or with a different skill. Its


holding on to the values that your culture has taught
you.
Student Jessica Phan then asked about the most difficult decision Ms. Sotomayor made outside of the
courtroom. She talked about how accepting President
Barack Obamas offer to serve in the Supreme Court
kept her from taking care of her ailing mother. Ms.
Sotomayor told Ms. Phan that while she grappled
with the decision to accept the offer, her mother told
her, Sonia, I worked my entire lifeI sacrificed
everything for you and [her brother] Junior. Dont
take this away from me.
A week prior to the event, Ms. Sotomayors stepfather died, which highlighted how her high-profile position could keep her from those closest to her.
Im serving, but so is my family. And thats a
hard, hard decision for me, because it never is just
you, she said. We dont walk in this life alone. We

walk with others who make sacrifices to help us do


things, not just for ourselves but for others too.
Ms. Phan was thrilled with Ms. Sotomayors response. Her answers are so insightful and I definitely
did not expect an answer like that, Ms. Phan told the
COURIER. It was just an honor to speak to her and
to have her answer such a personal question.
Other questions from students ranged from how her
Catholic faith drives her in her life to her time on
cafeteria duty, a light-hearted job for a rookie
Supreme Court justice. Student Spencer Hammersmith asked Ms. Sotomayor about how people should
conduct themselves in the age of the Internet, tying in
her famous wise Latina quote to illustrate instances
where ones words could be used against someone.
Anything you say on social media is there forever.
And anything you say will be used against you. The
Fifth Amendment does not apply to social media,
Ms. Sotomayor said, before telling a story about a job
applicant she didnt interview because of a skinnydipping incident documented on social media.
Ms. Sotomayor was warm in her responses, posing
for pictures with every student who asked her a question. The Bridges Auditorium was packed with 2,400
students, faculty and members of the public, all there
to hear her speak.
Student Jamila Espinoza asked how she passes on
her knowledge to those who come after her.
I believe in giving back and paying it forward. We
have an obligation for those of us who have come
from the backgrounds we have, who are given a privilege that most of our community members dont
have, Ms. Sotomayor said.
One thing you cant do is forget where you came
from, she added.

Mary Louise Pabst Young

OBITUARIES

Devoted wife and mother, volunteer


Mary Young, a longtime Claremont resident, died peacefully on September 28,
2015 at her Claremont home. She was 92.
She was born in Los Angeles on March
30, 1923 to Julia Marie and George Pabst.
She was welcomed as the youngest member of her family by her brothers George
and Paul and sister Margaret. As a young
girl growing up in Hollywood, Brentwood and Beverly Hills, Mary took up piano, which she played through her life.
She also loved to play tennis, dance, enjoy movies and spend time with friends,
forming lifelong ties. Through her school
years, she remained active in sports,
drama, orchestra, student government and
philanthropic pursuits. Family and friends
were her priority then, and remained so
throughout her life.
After graduating from Beverly Hills
High School in 1940, she attended UCLA
where she joined the Kappa Kappa
Gamma sorority. Before graduating in
1944, she met James Richard Dick
Young, her future husband. He proposed
to her in September of 1943 during WWII
when they were visiting Washington, DC,
presenting her engagement ring to her

later that month at their favorite spotthe


Cocoanut Grove nightclub at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. She professed
her love through letters and care packages
and,after braving the separation of war,
the couple wed on September 29, 1945.
With deep and abiding love, they enjoyed

65 years of marriage. Dick preceded


Mary in death in 2010.
Mr. and Mrs. Youngs life together was
defined by mutual respect and admiration, a shared sense of optimism and
steadfast view of life as full of blessings.
Family was a first priority for both. In this
spirit they dedicated themselves to their
five children, Cathy, Anne, Trisha, Jim
and Barbara; their childrens spouses, Erwin Rieder, Eric Wiedenmann, Bret Vonder Reith, Joy Young and Joe Heidelman;
and their grandchildren, Katie, Robert,
Josef, Corey, Julia, Jack, Mary, Elizabeth,
Amy and Willie.
A resident of Claremont since 1968,
Mrs. Young was an active member of Our
Lady of the Assumption Catholic Church,
a volunteer with the Braille Institute, Casa
Colina and the American Red Cross and
a member of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Society.

Marys loved ones praised her grace


and dignity, calling her a role model to all
who knew her and noting her strong faith
and moral compass.
She lived by her principles, always
reminding her family that the best word is
love. She never criticized and believed
one should look for the best in others, her
family shared. She graced a room with
her smile, her big laugh and her genuine
interest in others. Her love remains a force
within those that were blessed to know
her and through them her love will continue to spread to others. That is her
legacy... and it is enduring.
Her funeral was held on October 9 at
Our Lady of Assumption Catholic
Church. Donations can be made in memory of Mary P. Young to the USC Norris
Comprehensive Cancer Center, 1441
Eastlake Ave., Room 8302, Los Angeles,
CA 90033.

Neepa Chowdhury
Neepa Chowdhury, a 33-year resident
of Claremont, died from cardiac arrest in
Calcutta on October 22, 2015 after a short
hospital stay. She was 81.
Mrs. Chowdhury was known for generously giving her time and talent to In-

ternational Place of The Claremont Colleges, League of Women Voters and many
other community organizations. A full account of her life and information about a
community memorial event will appear in
a future edition of the COURIER.

OBITUARIES

Supporter of the arts, box office lady


Kathy Etter, a longtime Claremont
resident, died of complications from a
massive heart attack on Saturday, October 17, 2015 with her loving husband,
Rod Etter, and daughter, Kaitlyn Etter,
by her side. She was 60 years old.
Born to Betty Cable Perry and
William Vernon Perry on September 19,
1955 in Covina, Kathy was the eldest of
four children. Growing up, she was a
compassionate animal lover, was enthusiastic about musical theater and the arts
and enjoyed spending time with her family, including younger siblings Ruth, Hillina and Mike.
In her youth, Kathy played the clarinet
and saxophone, marched in the school
band and took piano lessons from her
mother. She graduated from Santa Monica High School in 1973 and went on to
attend Santa Monica College. It was
there that she met her husband Rod.
They connected over their love of music
and even marched together in the Macys
Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Kathy and Rod were both very active

in the First United Methodist Church of


Santa Monica. They enjoyed singing in
the choir, and Kathy even served as the
education secretary for several years.

The two were married in 1977 and in


1980 they moved to Claremont where
they joined the Claremont United
Methodist Church. At this time, Ms.
Etter joined the brokerage firm PaineWebber where she stayed for 20 years,
commuting by bus each day from Claremont to downtown Los Angeles.
In 1986 they welcomed a daughter,
Kaitlyn, into their lives. Together the
family enjoyed musical theater and the
arts, long weekends at their cabin in
Running Springs and caring for animals,
most recently for their cat Muffin and
dog Max.
In the late 80s, the family traveled to
Austria with the Classical Music Seminar Choir and enjoyed taking in the
sights and sounds of Europe.
As Kaitlyn grew, she too developed a
love for music. The family became very
active with Childrens Theater Experience where Ms. Etter took on the role of
guest stage manager while her husband
and daughter performed in shows
throughout southern California. The

family later joined Claremont United


Church of Christ and Kathy joined
Bridges Auditorium at Pomona College
where she worked as their box office
manager for almost 15 years. With her
winning combination of caring and efficiency, she made many friends among
local theatergoers, becoming known as
that friendly box office lady.
Her laughter, love and friendship will
be deeply missed. She is survived by her
husband, Rod, and daughter, Kaitlyn.
The memorial service for Ms. Etter
will be held on Sunday, November 1,
2015 at 3 p.m. in the Kingman Chapel at
Claremont United Church of Christ, located at 233 Harrison Ave. in Claremont.
Ms. Etters friends started a YouCaring.com account, under the name Kindness for the Family of Kathy Etter, to
help her family with medical bills and
funeral expenses, giving them some
breathing room while they come to terms
with her unexpected death. Contributions are still being accepted.

Shana Marie Michny


Loving mother, talented artist, friend to animals
Shana Marie Michny died peacefully
in her sleep on October 12, 2015. She
was 45 years young and was looking forward to many more years.
She was born in Oxnard on February
11, 1970. She was a beautiful baby, toddler and preschoolerperfect strangers
would comment that, she ought to be in
pictures. The family moved to Sacramento, where Shana attended preschool,
elementary and middle school as well as
three years of high school.
Her growing up had three distinct aspects. She was a fierce competitor on the
soccer and softball fields and on the volleyball court, never hanging back from a
challenge. She began tap classes in first
grade and later added jazz and ballet; the
same feet that loved wearing spiked athletic shoes had a natural grace and
rhythm on the dance floor. The third
standout piece in Shanas childhood was
that, again in first grade, her teachers
identified her for the Gifted and Talented
Education program. She was a fast
learner, always striving to keep up with
her older sister Victoria.
The summer prior to Shanas senior

year, she chose to move with her mother


and stepfather to Claremont, graduating
from Claremont High School in 1988.
She was gifted in multi-media drawing
and painting, but at CHS was introduced
to photography. She loved bringing what
she saw through the lens to life in the pro-

cessing and developing classes.


During the next two years, Ms.
Michny was a full-time student at Mt.
SAC and worked as office manager in a
small office supply and print shop. Just
weeks before she turned 21, she gave
birth to her son Cody James. He was her
pride and joy every day for the next 24
years. She enjoyed serving as room
mother at Condit Elementary School,
team mom for soccer and assistant den
leader for Cub and Boy Scouts. She was
a member of the Claremont United
Church of Christ, and had enough credits in early childhood development to
work in their preschool as a teaching assistant. She loved family pets and found
much solace in them, especially as her
health began to decline.
For the last 15 years, Ms. Michny was
increasingly affected by depression and
anxiety disorder. Her physical health also
deteriorated due to severe asthma, kidney
and cardiac conditions. Since 2008, she
lived in San Pedro with her best friend,
partner and, later, caregiver Tony Bainbridge.
Shana had a huge heart and in return

was loved by many. She was an exceptionally beautiful person, her family
shared.
She was predeceased by her stepfather James Goodrich and her grandparents, Bill and Ann Kollar and Frank and
Helen Michny. She is survived by her son
Cody James Michny (Natalie Solis) of
Claremont/Upland; her mother Sharon
Goodrich of Claremont; her father and
stepmother, Frank Michny and Valerie
Hankins of Newcastle, California; her
sisters Victoria Michny Barr (Thomas)
and Ashley Hankins Michny; and her
beloved nephews Matthew and Nathan.
She also leaves her partner Tony Bainbridge and their kitty Snoopi and numerous family and friends.
There will be a celebration of Shanas
life on Saturday, November 7 from 1:30
to 5:30 p.m. at Bucca di Beppo, located
at 505 W. Foothill Blvd. in Claremont. In
lieu of flowers the family requests donations in Shanas memory be made to
Paws 4 Healing (www.pawsforhealing.
org), Pet Partners (www.petpartners.org)
or Priceless Pet Rescue, 2587 Chino
Hills, CA 91709.

Dr. Fritz Moser

12

OBITUARIES

Surgeon, artist, family man


Dr. Fritz Helmut Moser, surgeon,
artist and longtime resident, died of natural causes early on the evening of October 19, 2015 at his Claremont home.
He was 92 years old.
He was born on October 1, 1923 in
Frankfurt am Main, Germany, the
youngest of four brothers in a German
family that formed on both sides of the
Atlantic. His parents had met and married in New York City, and their first
son was born there in 1912 before they
returned to Germany where their three
younger sons were born.
Their father died when Fritz was only
four years old, so he was raised in
Frankfurt by his mother and his elder
brothers and schooled at the Kaiser Wilhelm Schule. He showed a love of
music as a boy and was given piano lessons, then switched to instruction in
sculpting, a skill he refined throughout
his life. He also received private lessons
in English.
Fritz was 17 when he heard the radio
broadcast announcing Germanys declaration of war on the Soviet Union, and
he and his friends were immediately
confronted with the reality of their peril
and the devastation this portended for
Germany. He was conscripted into the
German army in the Second World War,
assigned to an infantry unit and sent toward the Russian front. He was fortunate to be wounded and to require toe
amputation due to frostbite, for these
stalled his progress toward the fighting
at Stalingrad. He was also fortunate that
his commanding officer surrendered,
against orders, to American forces.
Though his familys home was destroyed during the Allied bombing of
Frankfurt, his immediate family remained intact.
At the end of the war he returned to

school, studying medicine first at the


University of Heidelberg and then at the
Goethe University in Frankfurt, receiving his doctorate in medicine in 1951.
Following medical study, he was accepted into the first years cohort of the
Read Program of the Ventnor Foundation, an internship program that placed
foreign medical school graduates in
community hospitals across the United
States. This brought him to Paterson,
New Jersey, a trans-Atlantic voyage that
launched his American dream.
The young Dr. Moser lived in Paterson for his internship at St. Josephs
Hospital, then in Rochester, Minnesota
as a fellow at the Mayo Clinic, then in
Modesto for surgical residency at
Stanislaus County Hospital. In his time
off, he explored the continent by automobile, traveling cross-country with
friends. Together they visited North
Americas landmarks, swam in its
oceans and lakes, skied its mountains
and hiked the National Parks, developing an abiding love for the American

westand California.
Close friends in Pomona encouraged
him to set up practice here, and they invited him to stay at their home as he
was getting started. He arrived in 1958
and a year later his mother moved to
Claremont, where she resided until her
death. In 1963 Fritz became a naturalized US citizen, and shortly thereafter at
Pomona Valley Hospital he met his future bride, Mary Jane Binkley
Janiean operating room nurse. He
and Janie married on September 17,
1966 at the Kingman Chapel in Claremont, and they have lived in Claremont
ever since, raising a family of three
boys.
Dr. Moser established a practice of 25
years with Dr. Marc Leventhal, eventually to become Cosmetic Surgery Associates of Pomona. Early in his career he
was a physician on call for the Claremont Colleges, and he also taught at UC
Irvine and at the School of Osteopathic
Medicine in Pomona. In 1980, he spent
three months in Saudi Arabia to help set
up the operating room at the King Faisal
Specialist Hospital and Research Centre. He was chief of staff at Pomona
Valley Community Hospital and chairman of both the Surgery Department
and the Governing Board for Doctors
Hospital of Montclair, and he also practiced at Park Avenue and San Dimas
hospitals. He served as president of the
Los Angeles County Medical Association District 14, and as president of the
Tri-County Surgical Society of Southern California. Dr. Moser retired in
1998 after 40 years of practice.
Fritz was an active and involved
member of Good Shepherd Lutheran
Church for nearly 40 years. He designed
the churchs pulpit, lectern, credence
table and baptismal font when the pres-

ent sanctuary was built in 1982, and he


presided over the church council from
2000-2002, during the enlargement of
the fellowship hall.
It is no exaggeration to say that Dr.
Moser nearly always ensured he was
within close reach of chocolate, and he
frequently maintained that chocolate is a
food group, or vegetable. He loved hosting friends and student guests from
abroad, and enjoyed travel and friendships worldwide. He was a classical
music devotee, most especially of
Mozart, and regularly attended performances at the Hollywood Bowl and Los
Angeles Philharmonic. He was a gifted
sculptor and painter, whose work has
been exhibited in Claremont at Wei Tuo
Academy and at the Edward Jones offices.
Fritz always loved nature and the outdoors, and he was a strong hiker and expert skier. Particularly in retirement, he
tended to the backyard pond he built
and stocked with koi. Most recently last
August, he traveled with extended family to Hawaii, a place of special significance from his adventures as a medical
resident, honeymoon with Janie and
later trips with family and grandchildren.
Dr. Moser was preceded in death by
his brothers, Peter, Otto and Hans, and
by his nephew Peter. He is survived by
his wife of 49 years, Mary Jane, and by
three sons and their respective spouses,
Kurt Moser and Linda Kelly of Alexandria, Virginia, Rick Moser and Shawna
Gale of Burbank and Chris and Andrea
Moser of Santa Monica. He also leaves
his grandchildren, Peter, Caroline and
Olivia, and his nieces, Susan of Niles,
Illinois and Marcela of Buenos Aires,
Argentina and her family.

Sheldon Wellins

OBITUARIES

Lawyer, councilmember, coach


Sheldon Shel Gary Wellins died on
Saturday, October 24, 2015 at Eisenhower
Medical Center in Rancho Mirage, California. He was 71.
He was born on March 21, 1944 in Los
Angeles to Larry and Jeanette Wellins and
grew up in Pomona where he was the
number-one player and captain of the tennis team at Pomona High School. After
graduating in 1962, he received a scholarship to the University of Wyoming for
tennis but left after his freshman year since
he wasnt eligible to compete.
Mr. Wellins went on to earn a Bachelor
of Arts from the University of California,
Berkeley, a Doctorate of Jurisprudence
from Hasting School of Law and a Doctorate in Divinity. He served in the US
Army, attaining the rank of captain. He
practiced law for over 45 years, was a law
school instructor and a Judge Pro Tempore
for Los Angeles Superior Court for LA

County. He was also a successful independent businessman, a motivational


speaker and a Claremont city council
member.
But Shel will best be remembered as an
incredible coach. He coached womens
softball at College of the Desert for more
than 15 years and was twice voted Foothill
Conference Coach of the Year. His best
season was a record 45 wins to just 3
losses. He coached the Roadrunners to
more than 500 wins, a record that will
likely stand for many years to come. He
was also the womens golf coach for many
years and led the team to a state title.
Shel married Cathy Brown-Wellins in
1998 on New Years Eve in Palm Desert.
Mr. Wellins was an avid golfer and was a
member of Red Hill Country Club and
The Lakes Country Club. Most recently,
he was a member of Bermuda Dunes
Country Club where he served on the

board. Mr. Wellins was also a devoted Cal


Bears football supporter, and could be easily spotted on the roads of the desert driving his bright yellow Hummer plastered
with Cal stickers as a testament to his loyalty.
He is survived by his wife Cathy; their
sons Skylar Brown of Bermuda Dunes
and Tanner Brown (Jenny Brown) of San
Diego; his daughter Cori Wellins Lagao
(Max Lagao) of Manhattan Beach; his son
Barry Wellins of Houston, and his son
Brian Wellins (Candy Wellins) of Austin.
He also leaves his brother Michael Wellins
of Orange, his grandchildren Luke, Olivia,
Reagan and Charlie and, of course, his
beloved huskies.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, November 7 from noon to 3 p.m. at
The Bermuda Dunes Country Club, located at 42630 Adams Street in Indio.

Wolfpack water polo takes lead, never looks back

or their last home game,


the CHS water polo
team was greeted with
stands full of fans, most wearing pink cancer awareness
shirts for a Pink Out theme.
The boys played a strong
game, with key plays throughout, beating Ayala 10-7.

The water polo team has been showing their support of Cancer Awareness
Month by selling
SPORTING
pink shirts with a
LIFE
cancer ribbon logo.
For this particular game, however, the
team asked everyone who had bought a
shirt to wear it in order to create a pink
out effect in the stands.
The first quarter began with a small
advantage for Claremont when sprinter
Bruno Snow was the first to gain control of the ball. It took a few attempts
and turnovers before Claremont finally
scored their first goal halfway through
the quarter. After another point for
Claremont and a few successful shots
from Ayala, the first quarter finished up
with the score locked 2-2.

is a sophomore and assistant opinions
editor on The Wolfpacket. Shes played
on Claremonts JV girls water polo
team and swam. In her free time, Genny
enjoys hanging out with friends, learning languages and Tweeting.

By the second quarter, Claremont


started pulling ahead with help from
senior Johnathan Wong. After Ayala
took a time-out for a pep talk, and later
scored a goal, they only trailed by one,
4-3.
In the third quarter, the game picked
up even more as Claremont scored
three more points while Ayala made
one. Thanks to goals made by Wong,
Snow and Matt Turk, CHS had a clear
lead by the end of the third quarter, 7-4.
The final quarter was intense, as each
team scored three times, rapidly cram-

ming in shoots as the clock ticked


down. When the game finally wrapped
up, the overall score was 10-7, a solid
win for the Wolfpack.
Some noteworthy players include
senior Johnathan Wong with five goals,

junior Bruno Snow and senior Mat


Turk with two points each, and another
point from junior Luke Pulver. For the
defense senior goalie Kellan Grant
racked up eight saves throughout the
game.
In addition to the important game
play, CHS also had a fun celebration of
Senior Night.
Seniors include Mat Turk, Johnathan
Wong, Will DePrez, Josh Ucizono and
Ivan Lamboo, as well as JV player Andrew Dehmer. While being recognized,
each senior was treated a variety of mementos and a speech made by a
younger teammate.
It was a very successful day in general, with an amazing game, a good
cause being promoted and happy memories created celebrating the graduating
seniors.
The Wolfpack played at Diamond
Bar Thursday, and compete at Glendora
Tuesday, November 3.

HIGH SCHOOL ROUND-UP

FOOTBALL
The Claremont High School football
team came back from their disappointing defeat to Ayala by trouncing Diamond Bar 42-13 last week in Diamond
Bar. With the win, Claremont is now 21 in league, 7-1 overall.
The Pack had another big rushing
game with a total of 353 yards, led by
Duy Tran-Sampson who had 148 yards
and one touchdown. Quarterback Raine
Pohaku Kaheaku-Pavia also had a big
running game with 112 yards and one
touchdown, followed by Markelle
Davis who had 85 yards and two touchdowns.
Kaheaku-Pavias passing game was
solid as well, with four completions
from seven attempts for 78 yards and
one touchdown. Matt Banfield and

Laquamie Bond each caught a touchdown pass.


Next up, Claremont faces top ranked
Glendora on Friday at home in a
matchup that will likely decide which
team will be the Palomares League
champion.

GIRLS VOLLEYBALL
The Pack defeated Bonita 3-0 (2521; 25-19; 25-21) on Tuesday at CHS.
This win comes on the heels of another
victory against South Hills last Thursday, 3-0 (25-16, 25-11, 25-16.) The
team did not enter any player stats for
the game, however the girls record is
now 4-4 in league and 13-11 overall.

in the will or estate, or both, of PATRICIA M. ARMENDARIZ; PATRICIA ARMENDARIZ:
A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by

representative to administer the estate of the decedent.
THE PETITION requests the decedents will and
codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and
any codicils are available for examination in the file
kept by the court.
The PETITION requests authority to administer the
estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining
court approval. Before taking certain very important
actions, however, the personal representative will be
required to give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to the proposed
action.) The independent administration authority will
be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the
court should not grant the authority.
A HEARING ON THE PETITION WILL BE
HELD IN THIS COURT AS FOLLOWS:
Date: November 25, 2015 Time: 8:30 A.M. in Dept.:
67 Room: located at:
Superior Court Of California, County Of Los Angeles,
111 North Hill Street
Los Angeles, CA 90012
Stanley Mosk Courthouse
IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you
should appear at the hearing and state your objections
or file written objections with the court before the
hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by
your attorney.
IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a CONTINGENT
CREDITOR OF THE DECEDENT, you must file
your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the
later of either (1) four months from the date of first
issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58 (b) of 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.
Other California statutes and legal authority may
affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to
consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.
YOU MAY EXAMINE THE FILE KEPT BY THE
COURT. If you are a person interested in the estate, you
may file with the court a Request for Special Notice
(form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal
of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided
in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special
Notice form is available from the court clerk.

Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by
said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the
property to be sold and reasonable estimated
costs, expenses and advances at the time of the
initial publication of this Notice of Trustees Sale
is estimated to be $462,043.28 (Estimated).
However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to
sale. Beneficiarys bid at said sale may include
all or part of said amount. 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 authorized to do business in California, or other
such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee.
In the event tender other than cash is accepted,
the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the
Trustees Deed Upon Sale until funds become
available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of
right. The property offered for sale excludes all
funds held on account by the property receiver, if
applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title
for any reason, the successful bidders sole and
exclusive remedy shall be the return of 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 Civil Code.
The law requires that information about Trustee
Sale postponements be made available to you and
to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at
the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale
date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the
rescheduled time and date for the sale of this
property, you may call In Source Logic at 702659-7766 for information regarding the Trustee's

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 Civil Code. The law
requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a
courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to
learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and,
if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale
of this property, you may call 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet
Web site www.nationwideposting.com for information
regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 00000005169743. Information about postponements that are very short in duration
or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not
immediately be reflected in the telephone information
or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

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.
