Dear Editor: I would like to extend my thanks to the Claremont community for all the support that I received since I was diagnosed with Stage 5 Renal Failure a little over a month ago. Its been a humbling and encouraging experience to receive so many cards, flowers, emails, phone calls and even monetary donations over the past month. From the COURIER to the Claremont Unified School District and reaching to the uttermost part of the community, Claremont opened its arms to me during one of the most interesting turn of events in my life. I never HAD any expectation that anyone in Claremont had to do anything, but in true Claremont fashion, many members of the community have taken it upon themselves to at least take the time to encourage me to get better and some went even farther. During my coverage of education in Claremont, I have witnessed the generosity of Claremonters time and time again, but I have been very fortunate to see it being on the receiving end. I just want to commend Claremont and say thank you for all the support. Through Claremont, I have learned in a greater way what it really means to care for others, and the people Ive been talking to have been amazed at how much the community has reached out.
Concerning my current condition, I am back to doing most of the things I did when I was healthy but I cant exert myself too much. One of the biggest changes has been my diet, where I can only eat 2000 milligrams of sodium and have to avoid many of the foods I used to eat (cheese, tomatoes, avocados, etc.) My wife, Adriana, has done a wonderful job in making my meals enjoyable to the point where I havent missed all the sodium content. And speaking of my wife, she has been by my side the entire way, and she is a huge reason why I am doing so well. My stepdaughter, Monet, has adjusted well and enjoys seeing me home a lot more. Please continue to pray and keep good thoughts for what is to come. I currently receive dialysis treatments 3 days a week and will be having surgery for a more permanent access for the dialysis soon. At the same time, Adriana and I are going through the process of getting on kidney transplant lists. Theres a lot to do but knowing and believing that I will overcome this keeps me smiling each day. Thanks again Claremont, from the entire Rigsby family!

City takes steps to rework redevelopment debt load
he Claremont Oversight Board, successor to the citys dissolved Redevelopment Agency, met for the first time Wednesday evening to take one of the first steps toward implementing Governor Browns decision to eliminate the states RDAs.
In the years to follow, the 7-member board will be responsible for making sure the debts of Claremonts redevelopment agency are repaid in the aftermath of its dissolve, which took effect early February. Claremont RDA debts total an estimated $16.4 million. All the work and no money, joked City Manager Tony Ramos at Wednesday nights board meeting. In an unanimous decision, the board elected CUSD
Resolution to make Claremont Fair Trade leader up for review
The Claremont City Council will review a resolution this Tuesday, April 24, to designate Claremont as a Fair Trade town. If approved, Claremont will be the first city in southern California to receive the distinction. Founded by Joe and Linda MiCITY chon in 2011, a group called Fair Trade Claremont brought the resoCOUNCIL lution before the city to help promote the sale of products that are not only economically sustainable, but from companies that support safe and environmentally-friendly workplaces. Fair trade is not charity. Its giving people a dignified way to participate in this world economy, and the Claremont community is catching onto it really quickly, Ms. Michon said in a previous interview with the COURIER. Everybody wants to be fair and to help give other people a dignified, whole way to live. In order to qualify as a Fair Trade Town, 5 goals must be met, according to the qualifications provided by Fair Trade Towns USA. The first goal is to form a steering committee, followed by a wide availability of Fair Trade products, support from local organizations and community groups, media attention, and a city statement supporting the movement. Establishing a city resolution supporting Fair Trade is the last step needed to obtain the Fair Trade designation, which will place Claremont on the organization's network of participating cities throughout the world. The status will help further market Claremont, according to the Michons. More than 20 local shops, markets and restaurants are already on board selling fair-traded products. Other items for council discussion include approving a $60,000 match for the 2012-2013 Bicycle Transportation Account (BTA) Call for Projects Requesting Funding for Implementation of Bicycle Safety Improvements. The money will be drawn from funds made available by the Transportation Development Act and the Air Quality Management District programs. Also, an appeal will be heard from a farmer wishing to sell crops on vacant property at 1555 W. Base Line Rd. The city council meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. in the City Council Chamber, 225 W. Second St. The full agenda can be accessed from the citys website
assistant superintendent Lisa Shoemaker to serve as chair of the group, which is tasked with seeing the RDAs obligated payment schedule is paid back in full. Claremont City Manager Tony Ramos will serve as vice chairman. Other members include Sue Keith, representative of the local community college district as well as Suzanne Manriquez, Gary Hertzberg and Carol Jacques, all selected by Supervisor Gloria Molina to serve as county representatives. Chief among its first duties, the board approved 2 obligation payment schedules mandated by the new statute. Successor agencies must submit these schedules for every 6-month fiscal period until all RDA debts are repaid. Included in the 2 approved payment schedules (dated February 1 through June 30 and July 1 through December 31) is about $667,000 of a $9 million tax refunding bond from 2001 relating to low-moderate income housing projects, and $442,000 of a $6.5 million bond from 2004 described as funding various redevelopment projects. The approved payment schedules will now be sent to the Los Angeles County Auditor-Controller, which will then send funds to the successor agency in accordance with its repayment obligations. Within this payment schedule, an estimated $250,000 will also be allocated for administrative costs to compensate for the winding down of the redevelopment agency if the money is available. This is the lowest priority, said Ms. Shoemaker,
while also noting the citys extra work in taking on the duties of the successor agency. We want to make sure they are compensated appropriately. The board also assumed the role of the successor agency to the Low and Moderate Housing Fund. The city has been acting as the successor since the RDAs elimination. Governor Jerry Brown approved 2 Assembly bills last June calling for the immediate suspension of the redevelopment agencys power with the exception of existing contractual obligations. An appeal was pleaded soon after, led by the California Redevelopment Agency and League of California Cities. However, the appeal was dismissed by the California State Supreme Court in late December. As a result, millions of dollars from property tax accrued from redevelopment projects will be redistributed to the city, school district and county, among other state-funded services. Cities across the state are forming successor agencies, like Claremonts oversight board, to make the transition as smooth as possible. The board will meet again in the fall to approve the next set of ROPS with the possibility of a couple special meetings to be held in in the meantime. Assistant City Manager Colin Tudor will act as the boards contact person to the citys director of finance in regards to actions taken by the successor agency.

Probe shows employee acted alone in Claremont McKenna SAT scandal

college statistics for the college for more than 6 consecutive years. The probe, submitted by OMelveny & Myers LLP, further states no other employee was involved or aware of the inflated SAT scores submitted by the admissions dean,
who stepped down immediately following the revelation earlier this year. Freshman class SAT scores are supplied for school rankings on an annual basis. CMC, founded in

POLICE BLOTTER
Wednesday, April 11 A truck driver was caught off guard Wednesday morning when a 40-to-50foot tree branch fell on top of his vehicle as he was driving down Claremont Boulevard near Earlham Drive, sustaining injuries. The driver was transported to a nearby hospital with complaint of pain to his neck. His car was towed from the scene and city maintenance workers were called to remove the tree branch from the road. **** A drug trip quickly went downhill for a Palm Springs man hanging out at the Chevron/McDonalds at 860 S. Indian Hill Blvd. Wednesday night. Shane Stokes, 22, began violently hitting the countertop inside the McDonalds and admitted to an employee that he was hallucinating, according to Lt. Vander Veen. Police responded, but were initially unable to locate him. He was found 10 minutes later at a nearby Sprint Store. When police arrived, Mr. Stokes was talking rapidly on his cell phone, informing the person on the other line that he was being followed. He put down the phone and admitted to the officers that he was under the influence of methamphetamine, for which he was also on probation. Mr. Stokes suddenly became paranoid, jumping up and screaming that the officers were not real cops. The officers tried to grab him, but he resisting, yelling

South Claremont targeted in auto burglary spree

Six vehicles were targeted in a south Claremont auto burglary spree between Monday, April 16 and Tuesday, April 17. Four of the burglarized cars were located in the carport and rear alley of the Vista Valle Townhomes, 670 W. San Jose Ave. The additional 2 with 2 laptops, ran to the car and drove off. Police were unable to locate the burglars. **** Police are searching for a hit-and-run driver responsible for abandoning his car in the center median near Arrow Highway and Notre Dame Road. A man claiming to be the passenger of the car was found standing nearby, the smell of alcohol on his breath, according to Lt. Vander Veen. After making an unsafe turn, the driver reportedly lost control of the car and crashed into a tree in the center of the median. The driver then fled, leaving his passenger behind. Police were able to obtain the drivers identification from his abandoned friend and follow-up is being conducted. Saturday, April 14 College Park was left in the dark after the power wires were cut in what police believe to be an attempted theft. The power outage took place sometime between Friday, April 13 at 4 p.m. and Saturday, April 14 at 11 a.m. Despite the attempt, the task was left uncompleted. All of the wiring remained on scene. were parked at a neighboring complex. All cars showed signs of forced entry, according to Lieutenant Shelly Vander Veen, who says the police have no suspects at this time. The investigation will continue.
for his mother. Police were finally able to detain Mr. Stokes, who was arrested for resisting an officer and a drug violation. Thursday, April 12 A crook left a trail for police after breaking and entering into 2 vehicles parked on Mt. Baldy Road. Both cars were parked in a turnout near San Antonio Dam. Sometime between 4:15 and 6 p.m., the thief entered the vehicles by smashing a window. The possessions located in one of the cars were left untouched, while the other was reportedly missing a wallet with money and credit cards, a purse, 2 school backpacks with books and an MP3 player totaling a loss of about $500. Though the thief has not been located, a stack of drivers licenses and credit cards stolen in burglaries out of San Bernardino County and Santa Ana were found nearby. Investigation is ongoing. Friday, April 13 Claremont police are searching for 3 men involved in a house burglary in the 4000 block of Tenango Road. A witness watched as the 3 burglars, described as white males estimated to be 25 years old, got out of a dark gray newer-model Toyota Camry with paper plates parked nearby and forced their way through the front entrance of the home. The men exited the residence less than a minute later
**** Police got more than they were expecting after arresting an intoxicated motorcyclist Saturday night. Police stopped Rafael Rodriguez, 46, of Montclair, near Indian Hill Boulevard and Auto Center Drive and soon after determined that he was under the influence of alcohol. He was also found to be driving with a suspended license. Upon searching the man, police discovered a loaded pistol hidden under the waistband of his pants and several concealed knives. He was booked at the Claremont jail. Tuesday, April 17 A Mountain View Elementary student got in trouble with police Tuesday afternoon after her can of pepper spray went off at school. The juvenile was keeping the can, given to her by a parent, in her backpack for safety. A fellow student went into the girls backpack for a pencil and the pepper spray was discharged on the ground. No one was reportedly injured. The girl was given a citation for being a minor in possession of pepper spray.

1946, currently enrolls about 1261 students and is ranked ninth on the 2012 list of Best National Liberal Arts Colleges, as published by U.S. News & World Report. We regret and are deeply disappointed by this episode, said Harry T. McMahon, chair of CMCs board of trustees, in a recent letter to the community. Throughout its history, the college has been defined by its core values of honesty and responsible leadership. Max Benavidez, the colleges associate vice president of public affairs, communications and marketing, says CMC officials are gratified by the finding and are hard at work to ensure a repeat will not happen. News broke of the intentional misinformation submitted by Richard Vos in January, following a tip provided to President Pamela Gann by CMC personnel. Employees had discovered inaccuracies in the SAT scores reported for entering students in fall 2011. Mr. Vos admitted sole responsibility for inflating the annual scores, further revealing that he had been doing so since 2005. An internal audit showed that he had routinely raised the scores each year by an average of 10 to 20 points. We take this situation very seriously, Ms. Gann told the community, noting that the school immediately turned to legal counsel to review admission data and the way the process is conducted. OMelveny & Myers found that Mr. Vos had not only reported inaccurate SAT scores, but had doctored ACT, class rank and application statistics as early as 2004.
According to the report, Mr. Vos asserted that, though he was acting alone, he felt pressured to maintain or increase SAT scores. However, legal counsel maintains that the level of pressure felt by Mr. Vos did not exceed the norm for his position. No evidence of verbal abuse, economic pressure or intimidation was found. To address the pressures, the college has decided to combine admissions, financial aid and student affairs under a single vice president. In doing so, the university will better permit the college to capture our balanced desire for both academic excellence and non-academic qualities that define a CMC student, according to Ms. Gann. Vice President for Student Affairs Jefferson Huang, who has worked with CMC for the last 18 years, will take over the newly-redesigned position. In the aftermath of reported inaccuracies, CMC leadership has corrected freshman SAT scores and application statistics. Interim measures for reporting accurate data have been put into place and officials are working on a set of guidelines to regulate the compiling and reporting of all material institutional statistics, according to a news release. We have learned a great deal from this unfortunate matter and will become even stronger as a result, Mr. McMahon concluded. The college will not pursue criminal charges against Mr. Vos, according to Mr. Benavidez. It was never a consideration, he said. Beth Hartnett

CGU celebrates 20 years of poetry, groundbreaking writers
his week, a whos who of writers and poetry lovers gathered to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Kingsley and Kate Tufts poetry awards, given each year to a new writer of startling talent and a mid-career poet who has created work of significance.
Tufts prize alumni, Claremont Graduate University president Debbie Freund and literary luminaries like Asian-American writer Maxine Hong Kingston were on hand at an awards ceremony and dinner hosted by CGU on Thursday, April 19 to speak to the talents of the latest winners and the importance of poetry. The day before, Tufts poets new and old gathered in panels to discuss topics like the experience of the developing poet. Their voices were diverse, but all agreed on a few key points. Poetry matters. Poetry is pleasurable. And while the source of poetry is mysterious, it is important that there are people who spend their lives in search of the metaphors, word pictures and syntactical music that help define what it is to be a human being. Thinking does not seem to be the way to get to poetry. Lets contemplate that the poet is the one who waits forever to find out why, said Ms. Kingston, a National Book Award winner and author of The Woman Warrior, a memoir that has become the most studied COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff book in modern university education.

Those taxing taxes

by Mellissa Martinez
hey say that nothing is certain but death and taxes. Given that one of these certainties happens to all Americans at the same time, April can be a stressful month. Like many, I waited until the very last minute to file my taxes. Arriving at the Claremont Post Office, I found a line out the door. As I waited, it occurred to me that perhaps tax season has more to offer than confusing paperwork and long lines.
LEX
IN THE
CITY
To tax initially represented the task of estimating how much one owed rather than the act of collecting the money. In fact, task and tax were once the same word. In the 1300s, tax went through a linguistic phenomenon called metathesis, where sounds within a word get switched so frequently that the mistake becomes the norm. Modern examples are words like cavalry becoming pronounced as calvary or nuclear as nucular. Although it can be humorous when we commit these errors, this is actually a step toward language change. Eventually, either both words are accepted with diverging meanings, or the original word dies out. Modern English bird and horse are examples of metathesis. They were initially mispronunciations of brid and hros. After the sounds of tax were commonly switched to task, these 2 words carried the same meaning for many years. By the end of the 14th century, however, their meanings branched. Task was more commonly used in relationship to work or labor and tax a mone-
The word tax came to English from the Old French taxer, derived from the Latin taxare, meaning evaluate or estimate. This was a commonly used form of the verb tangere, to touch or handle. The notion of handling led to evaluating, which explains the connection between tangere and taxare. Tangere is the root of many English words that have characteristics of touch. Some of the more common are tangible, discernable by touch; contact, a touching or meeting; tangent, in immediate physical contact; tact and tactile, sense of touch or feeling, later diplomacy; intact, untouched or unimpaired; contaminate, to make impure by touching; and taxi, a shortening of taximeter cab, introduced in London in the early 1900s. A taximeter was an automatic meter used to estimate and record the distance and fare.
tary duty. Both retain their meanings from this era, though task has weakened somewhat to refer to anything that has to be done, not necessarily something involving physical effort and tax has acquired the figurative meaning of exhausting as in, filling out tax forms is quite taxing! Tax has English relatives from another language familyGreek. It is surmised that the Proto Indo-European root of Latin tangere was *tag, to touch. Tags Greek derivative, tassein meant to put in order or arrange. The English words that derived from tassein include, tactics, the science of arranging or handling troops, taxidermy, the careful arrangement of skin and syntax, the correct arrangement of words in sentences. I was surprised to discover that the childrens game of tag did not come from this same origin. Rather, it is believed to be a variation of the Scottish tig touch or tap, which came from the Dutch tik, meaning a sound made by a clock. The expression to tick someone off is from the same source, where tick means annoy. Every year there are those who just cant seem to make the tax deadline. For these people, the tax relative, attain can come in handy. Attain comes from a combination of ad- to and tangere. Although at one time, it had a wide range of meanings including, attack, strike, appropriate or manage, now it means, to succeed in reaching. Thankfully for this years heel draggers, attaining an extension is a relatively easy task.

In my commentary, I suggested that a persons use of objectifying language, such as referring to undocumented migrants in the United States as illegals, reveals a way of seeing and not seeing other peoplea worldview that serves to delegitimize and dehumanize human beings. Apparently my appeal to humanity doesnt sit well with Mr. Lyon. Dismissing my argument as muddying the issue and preposterous, Mr. Lyon uses my letter as a platform for extolling rule of law as a sacrosanct virtue, without which, he concludes, a sovereign nation is reduced to either anarchy or a despotic government. Which does Mr. DeChaine advocate? he ominously demands. Apparently, Mr. Lyon skipped his high school argumentation class, where he would have learned about the vices of false dichotomies and specious arguments. His claim of illegal aliens as somehow precipitating anarchy or despotism in the United States is utterly breathtaking. Does he actually believe that undocumented migrants pose such an insidious threat to our nations rule of law? I think this would be very surprising news to the migrants themselves, the overwhelming majority of whom venture here simply to try to make better lives for themselves and their families. Perhaps its time for us to rethink how we envision citizenship in our complex na-

tional community. Rather than appealing uncritically, as Mr. Lyon does, to national sovereignty and rule of law as irreproachable virtues, perhaps we should be working to craft laws and promote social values premised on a more humane definition of citizenship, one that regards peopleall peopleas worthy of dignity and respect, regardless of national borders, Green Cards, and cultural differences. Silly me for suggesting to put the value of humanity first.

filled with yearly permit holders and discover that the vast majority of visitors are parking for free on residential streets grateful for the additional exercise!
Mark Merritt Claremont
Wilderness Park traffic issues
Dear Editor: Anyone who has tried to use the Claremont Wilderness Park recently knows how popular it has become. Hundreds of people are walking the 5-mile loop for their morning exercise every day. On Wednesday morning, as I was surveying the enormous number of cars filling both lots and spilling over onto Mt. Baldy Road, it occurred to me that building a parking lot and charging visitors to use it may not solve all our problems (and may make some worse). My question is: are we trying to raise money to benefit the park (or) are we trying to discourage use by charging an entrance fee because we believe that overuse is detracting from the wilderness experience. Selling a $50 annual permit may result
in having the new lot filled with 200 permit holders ($50 times 200 equals $10,000, not exactly the financial boon we may have anticipated). It is natural that permit holders will favor the lot while others will seek free parking in the adjacent neighborhood. Anyone willing to walk 5 miles (especially if they are doing it for exercise) probably wont mind an extra half-mile added to their morning workout. Within a halfmile of the intersection of Mills and Mt. Baldy Road there are quite a few streets that will have to be marked out of bounds. The concept of charging for parking can only work if we make it illegal to park on the surrounding streets. Why not try a different approach? Instead of unmanned meters, we could set up a kiosk staffed by volunteers and collect a dollar for every person that enters. We could sell $10 multiple entrance admission passes to expedite the process (and avoid making change). If this kiosk were staffed from 7 to 11 a.m., 6 days a week it would intercept 70 percent of park visitors (the vast majority arrive before noon). Make admission free on Sunday (and every day after lunch) to avoid the suggestion that we are trying to exclude hikers on a budget. This policy might distribute use more evenly throughout the daywhich would be a good thing. Having staff at the entrance has several benefits. Information could be passed out describing other hikes in the areapossibly reducing the number of visitors. Emergencies could be reported and possible problems identified as visitors pass through the gate. The worst possible outcome is that we build an expensive new parking lot, have it
Earth Day
Dear Editor: With Earth Day at hand, it is important to consider Al Leigas Viewpoint, Practical Thoughts on Global Warming (COURIER, March 17). Mr. Leigas previous denial of global warming was demolished by experts (COURIER, March 3) so he now turns to advice about what to do about our situation. One of the principles he recommends is Do no harm. Of course that cant be the sole principle for anything: if I choose to walk across my lawn I no doubt squish several insects (harm to them), perhaps insects of a useful sort to us (another harm). Adoption of the conservative Do no harm as ones sole principle causes paralysis. Of course what we must do, in the case of global warming, is consider the balance of good results to harms. And what Mr. Leiga will not do is to admit (1) that there will be good, including the prevention of serious harms, produced by acting in the face of the scientific consensus that human activities are the cause of the undeniable global warming going on and (2) that the good is considerably greater than the harm caused by acting to avoid the worst consequences of global warming. Mr. Leiga is a businessman and a former elected official. He thus knows how to run a cost-benefit analysis. In the case of global warming, that rational procedure is blocked for him by a conservative ideology that counsels inaction and the protection existing economic and social arrangements.

Ruby M. Fulfer
Devoted pastors wife, loving mother and grandmother, faithful Christian
Claremont Manor resident Ruby Maude Fulfer died on April 8, 2012 at age 87, precisely one year after the death of her husband of 67 years, Norris Fulfer. Mrs. Fulfer was born on December 26, 1924 to Germany Ferguson and Katie Lou Bridges Ferguson in the Texas panhandle town of Sunnyside: a wide-spotin-the-road to locals. Approximately 16 months later, her sister, Beatrice, joined the family. Unable to pronounce Ruby, the younger sister opted for Tootsie, which evolved into Tooter, a name of affection that endured through Mrs. Fulfers formative years. When Mrs. Fulfer was 7, her father died of pneumonia, leaving her mother with 2 young girls and few resources this was during the Depression and the Dust Bowl. Before long, her fathers brother, widower Robert Alonzo Ferguson (Uncle Lonnie), married her mother and helped raise Mrs. Fulfer and her younger sister. Surrounded by farmland, Mrs. Fulfers childhood hometown consisted of a cotton gin, a grade school and a church. When she was young, her family lived in a frontier-style dugout home, but eventually a house was built above this rather primitive dwelling. Later, Uncle Lonnie built a store attached to the front of the house and installed several gas pumps, supplying the local farmers with their basic needs (and years later, sodas, ice cream and candy to visiting grandchildren). Mrs. Fulfers grandmother, uncle, aunt and cousin lived nearby this bustling family home, which also had chickens in the yard that provided eggs and meat for countless family meals. Her mother was a good Southern cook and, frequently, the towns pastor was invited for Sunday dinner after the service. Mrs. Fulfer met her future husband, Norris Fulfer, at Wayland Baptist College in Plainview, Texas where she earned her associate degree. They went to the movies on their first date, but with no car and no bus fare, they had to walk, and Ruby wasnt impressed! family shared. At the end of the night, Mr. Fulfer told the unimpressed young lady that she hadnt been very niceand so began their love story. No fairytale, but rather a real love story of 67 years of commitment, sticktimes. Despite being somewhat physically frail and legally blind, she was always the supportive pastors wife, teaching Sunday school, singing in the choir, cooking, entertaining, washing and ironing and making sure her husband was free to minister to his flock. Family shared that Mrs. Fulfer had a love for people of every color and tongue and a passion for international mission work. After raising the children, she accompanied her husband on extended mission trips to Korea and South East Asia. But her greatest passion was being a nurturing mother to her children. Tender and patient, almost to a fault, she loved us more than life itself and sacrificed much to meet our needs, said her daughter, Sonia May. Mrs. Fulfer was gentle and smart and had a dry, quick wit. She rose above many of her fears and fell in love with traveling and learning new things. She had a compassionate heart and never hesitated to reach out to hurting people, providing any comfort and encouragement she could. The Fulfers provided a home for a Kenyan immigrant, Lydia Nyaggah, supporting and loving her as their own. Probably due to shyness, Mrs. Fulfer wasnt a woman who readily shared her deepest feelings. After her husband died,
OBITUARIES
she didnt talk about it much but, waking and sleeping, she wore his wedding ring as well as a Marriage Encounter charm until she died exactly one year to the day after his death. My mom left a legacy of love and faith in Jesus to her children and grandchildren and many others who considered her their mom or grandma, said Mrs. May. Mrs. Fulfer is survived by her children and their spouses, Devona and Bill Maillard of Lakewood, Sue and Jim Frando of La Puente, Craig and Marlene Fulfer of Fontana and Sonia and Daniel May of Yorba Linda; and by her 10 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, her sister and her husband. A service was held yesterday, April 20, 2012 at Richfield Community Church in Yorba Linda. Interment followed at Riverside National Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be made to Pioneer Ministries at pioneers.org in the name of Mrs. Fulfers grandson and wife, Dan and Dalaina May (ministry acct. #110269), who serve as missionaries in Peru, or to any charity of choice.
ing together for better or worse, in sickness and in health, til death do us part, said her daughter, Devona Maillard. Mr. Fulfer felt called to become a preacher, and after serving in World War II and finishing his undergraduate studies at Hardin Simmons University in Abilene, Texas, he and Mrs. Fulfer moved to Vaughn, New Mexico where he pastored his first church and she gave birth to their first child, Devona. They next moved to California, where Mr. Fulfer attended seminary. Being a Texas plains girl, Mrs. Fulfer had never seen mountains, much less driven through them, and the trip across them terrified her. It was in California that their other 3 children, Sue, Craig and Sonia, were born. Following their wedding date of January 29, 1944, Mr. and Mrs. Fulfer enjoyed many memorable celebrations of their marriage during their many years together. For their 25th anniversary, Mr. Fulfer threw a big dinner party, flying in special guests from out of town to surprise his unsuspecting wife. The special night was preceded by a 5-week dreamtrip to Europe, which included visiting their oldest daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter in Germany. On their 40th anniversary, they renewed their wedding vows at their church in Pacheco, and they celebrated their 50th and 60th anniversaries in Maui with their children. Though timid and fearful of many things, Mrs. Fulfer had a deep inner strength and, as a devout Christian, trusted God to help her through hard

Nancy Thum
Amazing woman with deep community roots
The many, many friends of Nancy Thum, a Claremont resident for more than 40 years, concur with that assessment of the woman who put an extraordinary amount of quality into the 73 years of her life that ended on March 24, 2012 at City of Hope Hospital in Duarte. Nancy Brunton Thum was born to Laurence and Laura Brunton in Charlottesville, Virginia on January 30, 1939. She was a graduate of Lane High School in Charlottesville in 1957, continued with a bachelors degree in English from Radcliffe College at Harvard and then a masters degree in education from the Harvard School of Education in 1963. Married to Charles Wesley Thum, MD, in 1961, the Thums came to Claremont in the early 1970s. Her professional activities included teaching positions and in-service programs in public schools in Newton, Massachusetts and volunteer teaching positions at a Department of Defense School at Yongston Post in Seoul, Korea and at a DOD school at Fort Eustis, Virginia. She was a teacher at Sycamore and Vista Elementary Schools in Claremont. She taught both summer school and regular classes at Foothill Country Day School before becoming head of school there from 1991 through 1996. Mrs. Thum was involved in a wide scope of volunteer activities in the comInvestment and Personnel, Renovation and Smale Committees. She was also a 20-year member of the Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center Foundation Board. Volunteer activities in the Claremont schools included serving on the Committee for Facilities Assessment, a number of Parent Faculty Association offices and committees at Condit Elementary, El Roble Intermediate and Claremont High School. She also found time to be a football booster at Claremont McKenna College. What she considered her treasures in life were time with her family, driving her 1954 MG-TF, traveling, reading, writing (she had published 4 short plays), gardening, walking, swimming and, in earlier years, camping and skiing. Longtime close friend Anita Hughes reflects, Nancy was an amazing lady. In living life to the fullest with grace and dignity while facing the ultimate, she set the bar for all of us. She taught us all lessons on living and dying. She was a true friend and sister who will be greatly missed. Linda Des Marais recalls meeting Mrs. Thum through the Shakespeare Club. She was delightful and brilliant. She was able to pry me away from my Netflix and into the theater. She was a model to everyone, and I am so pleased to have had her as my friend, Mr. Des Marais notes. Shelley Randles worked with Mrs. Thum in the Curtain Raisers organization. She reflects, She was eloquent and gracious and kind. She commanded respect and attention in a good way. Among a myriad of friends, Claremonter Frank Hungerford offers, If I could get 4 people to be on the worlds toughest quiz show, Nancy would be the top choice. She was interested in everything and knowledgeable about most of it. Claremont Counselor Ed Aluzas, who met Mrs. Thum at Claremont Presbyterian Church, remembers a very upbeat and adventuresome person: She loved to travel and was committed and loyal to family and her friends. Eleanor Pierson, a longtime colleague at Foothill Country Day School remembers Mrs. Thums years as head of the school as a time when she did a remarkable job. She oversaw a lot of improvements to the facility and was very solid, very steady and very intelligent. She was
OBITUARIES
a role model for all of us. Friend Nora Butler remembers a delightful lady who was interested in what seemed to me to be everything. She stayed in charge. She conducted her life in such an admirable way. Paula Pitzer was also a colleague at Foothill Country Day. She remembers Mrs. Thum driving a tractor at the school during extensive renovation projects at the campus, and also as being a strong and disciplined person. She was very warm and did a fine job of emphasizing academics at Foothill Country Day. The Rev. John Najarian knew Mrs. Thum and recalls in particular that Mrs. Thum faced her illness and death with a great deal of poise. Visiting with her during her illness was an elixir for the people who did, the former minister of Claremont Presbyterian Church notes. Friends and also traveling companions for more than 40 years, former Claremont residents John and Lyn Roth recall their sons being toddlers together. Things that stand out about Nancy were her deep, deep roots in the Claremont community. She was a real pillar while being a very companionable person who lived life as fully as one can. She made the most of it. Mrs. Roth recalls sharing teaching duties at Sycamore and appreciating her efforts there. She was recognized as an educator and also served as superintendent of the Sunday school program at CPC [Claremont Presbyterian Church[. Mrs. Thum is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Peter Thum and Cara Buono of Manhattan, New York City; by her daughter, Laura Ann Thum of San Diego; by her brother and sister-in-law, Laurence and Amy Brunton of San Diego; and by her sister-in-law, Judy F. Thum of Encinitas. A memorial service for Mrs. Thum will be held on Saturday, April 28, 2012 at 2:30 p.m. at Claremont Presbyterian Church, 1111 N. Mountain Ave. Mrs. Thums family has asked that in lieu of flowers, donations be made in memory of her to the pancreatic cancer research program of Dr. Vincent Chung, who was her oncologist at the City of Hope. Donations should include a note to that effect and be sent to City of Hope, Attn: Joe Komsky, 1055 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90017.

munity over the years. Those included serving on boards of directors of Stone Childrens Library, the School of Religion at Claremont Graduate University and the Mt.

She was very active in the Foothill Philharmonic Committee where she served as membership chair, in various offices for the Curtain Raisers, the Claremont Rotary Club and Friends of Oak Park Cemetery where she served as president for 2 years.

Students eye stars above through telescope-lending program
fter learning about the galaxies in her third grade class at Sumner Elementary, 9-year-old Naomi Foster is eagerly applying her newfound knowledge to discovering the skies above.
My favorite planet is Saturn, she stated without batting an eye. Through a new program at the Claremont Library, Naomi will get a chance to get up close and personal with her favorite planet. The Claremont Public Library is expanding its database with a new telescope-lending program, an initiative that provides a weeklong rentable telescope for library patrons. The 4.5-inch Orion StarBlast Reflector, which made its debut at the Claremont Library last week, is the product of a collaboration between the Friends of the Claremont Library and The Pomona Valley Amateur Astronomers (PVAA). The 2 groups came together within the past year in hopes of encouraging families to appreciate the beauty of the skies and providing them with the means to do so. We want people to know how accessible it is, said Matt Wedel, PVAA president. You dont need a million dollars. Here on out, all you need is one of these [telescopes]. The program was launched earlier this week with a celestial viewing party held just outside the back doors of the Claremont Public Library. Mr. Wedel adjusted the blue telescope as kids and adults alike lined up under the starry evening sky to catch a glimpse of Venus. It looks just like the moon! exclaimed 8-year-old David Carrasco, a student at Sumner Elementary School. Davids 2 younger brothers were equally excited, squirming in anticipation to get their turn. It looks white and yellow and red and so tiny, younger brother Diego, 7, pitched in. The telescope landed at the Claremont Public Library
as part of an initiative of the Friends of the Claremont Library to provide more educational programming and partnerships. We are really interested in working with other community groups to provide a wider range of programs at the library, and this fit perfectly with that idea, said Laura Bollinger, president of the Friends of the Claremont Library. It was a natural. The PVAA approached the Friends about a year ago with the idea of launching a telescope-lending program modeled after a similar program gaining speed in libraries on the East Coast. We thought it was a good way to introduce kids to science, explained PVAA vice president Joe Hillberg. It gives them a more concrete way of learning the things they are reading about in textbooks. The Friends were quickly sold on the concept, funding the telescope in exchange for PVAAs help in its maintenance. The StarBlast was chosen because of its level of ease for a beginning astronomer. The collaboration between the Friends and PVAA is a mutually beneficial relationship between the 2 community groups. The Friends are adding much-desired programming to the librarys diverse offerings while the PVAA is getting the chance to share their passion with others. We want people to get the chance to see what we see, Mr. Wedel said. Having the opportunity to give a telescope to the whole community means a lot to us. Those who lined up for the evening star party felt equally impassioned. Erin Foster, Naomis mother, was thrilled to provide her daughter with hands-on exposure to the material she was learning in school, and to see her daughter so eager to take part. All day long she was telling me, we need to go, we need to go, Ms. Foster said of her daughters excitement for the telescope program. Im really excited to see what its like and to see all the planets, Naomi said. Curtis and Kristy Davis, who homeschool their 2 boys Justin, 12, and Kory, 9, look forward to introducing the telescope into their boys curriculum.
Community members line up to have a look through the new 4.5-inch telescope on Tuesday at the Claremont Library. About 50 people came to the event launching the telescope-lending program and many signed the wait list to borrow the instrument.
COURIER photos/Seven Felschundneff Sofia Centeno peers through a telescope as her mother, Danielle Centeno, photographs her daughter using the Claremont Librarys brand new 4.5-inch telescope on Tuesday in Claremont. Attendees at a launch party for the telescope got a chance to look at Venus and the moon.
We utilize the library a lot for our lessons. This [telescope] is a great gift for us to bring into our classroom, Ms. Davis said. She looks forward to teaching her boys a class on the different components of the telescope along with the basics of astronomy. The Davises also had the honor of being selected as the winners of the name the telescope contest. Mr. Davis entry, the Claremont Galactic Space Viewer, was the winner, giving him the coveted first place in line to take home the telescope. He opted to let another family go first so that he could bring the telescope to share with his sons Cub Scout Pack the following week. The telescope will be lent out one week at a time to library cardholders aged 18 or over. A sign-up sheet can be found at the library. While on the waitlist, patrons can take advantage of the librarys collection of astronomy books, currently on display in honor of the telescopes arrival. Though the scope is on its first renting cycle, Ms. Bollinger and Mr. Wedel hope this initial spark of interest is a sign of good things, and more telescopes, to come. We will evaluate the program after a year and see if there is a demand for another one, Ms. Bollinger said. I definitely see this as a partnership [with PVAA] that will continue to move forward. The Claremont Public Library is located at 208 N. Harvard Ave. For more information on the telescopelending program, call 621-4902 or visit the Friends of the Claremont Library website at www.claremontlibrary.org.

It may be pretty, but Ms. Dewey says lacrosse (particularly as its played in the east coast, with plenty of roughing) is not for the faint of heart. Anthea Weixel, a sophomore from Rhode Island, can attest to this. While matches usually only yield bruises, Ms. Weixel had her arm broken at the beginning of the season. Ms. Weixel is undeterred.

Recorded 11/17/2005 as Instrument No. 05 2795193 in book , page of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of Los Angeles County, California, and pursuant to the Notice of Default and Election to Sell thereunder recorded 12/19/2011 in Book Page , as Instrument No. 20111713539 of said Official Records.

Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $68,206.32 Street Address or other common designation of real property: 1433 BRIARCROFT ROAD CLAREMONT, CA 91711 NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at the 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 recorders 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 714-573-1965 or visit this Internet Web site www.priorityposting.com using the file number assigned to this case CR11-1133. 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 undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale.

NOTICE OF SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, pursuant to the Municipal Code of the City of Claremont, that the Claremont Chapter of the American Red Cross has petitioned for approval of an event Run for the Red (File #12-SEP05) to be held on Monday, May 28, 2012 (Memorial Day Holiday), which will include a Kids Fun Run, 5K/10K Run, and a Health and Safety Expo. Run for the Red is a fundraiser benefitting the Claremont Chapter of the American Red Cross, as well as a major community information-dispensing event regarding health, safety, and disaster preparedness. Registration for the Kids Run, 5K/10K Run, and the Health and Safety Expo will be at the Greek Theatre on the Pomona College Campus. The 5K/10K run will utilize the Claremont Colleges grounds, as well as City streets. The setup for the event will begin around 4:30 a.m. and the event will end at approximately 1:00 p.m. The proposed route for the 5K/10K run are indicated on the attached map and will include a full street closure of Sixth Street, between College Avenue and Mills Avenue, between 6:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. In addition, there will be several soft street closures throughout the route (i.e. Dartmouth Avenue between Platt Boulevard and Eighth Street). All street closures will be staffed with volunteers to ensure a smooth operation of the event. NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that the Director of Community Development has determined that this proposal is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with Section 3.03(b)(4) of Claremonts Local Guidelines for Implementing CEQA because the Special Event is of short duration (less than one day) and will not create long-term physical impacts to the City of Claremont; therefore, no further environmental review is necessary. The public review period will run through April 30, 2012. Any interested person is directed to contact Associate Planner Joanne Hwang, Department of Community Development Planning Division, 207 Harvard Avenue, Claremont, CA 91711, or call (909) 399-5353 for further information. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR CITY OF CLAREMONT Publish: Saturday, April 21, 2011 American Red Cross 2012 Run for the Red Event 5K and 10K Run Route (10K run will loop the route twice)

It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. 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 recorders 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 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 Priority Posting & Publishing at (714) 5731965 or visit this Internet Web site www.priorityposting.com using the file number assigned to this case 11-43021. 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.
