Located just north of Padua Hills, its a graveyard for the homes that once dotted the landscape. Since a fire in 2003 that ravaged the entire area, only shells of former houses still exist. Now Palmer Canyon has only a few diehard (and in some sense lucky) residents who still call it home. These were the residences left untouched by the fire. But for all purposes, this is a dead neighborhood because of the high costs to rebuild. There were a number of things that made this photo shoot unique. First of all, visitors are not welcome.

CITY NEWS
Locals grieve temple shooting, encourage tolerance
series of shots heard round the world is what police are calling a gruesome act of domestic terrorism last Sunday morning. A peaceful Sikh community in Wisconsin began meal preparations at their gurdwara, term for the Sikh temple, and here before midday services when 40-year-old gunman Wade Michael Page opened fire.
Six were killed and several others injured. Americans worldwide, regardless of religious affiliation, have responded in disbelief to the bloody rampage aimed at the unassuming group known for its peaceful ways and social reform. As citizens we cherish the high ideals that our country frequently espouses, yet we know that those sentiments are violated daily in ways that make us wonder if they really mean anything at all, posed Ward McAfee of the Claremont Interfaith Working Group for Middle East Peace. In the aftermath of the weekends devastating events, Sikh communities across the country are attempting to pick up the pieces shattered by the puzzling shooting. We are grieving, said Santokh Singh Sahi of a local Sikh community of the Inland Empire. But in sharing and uniting in our grief, we are given the faith to stand and enjoy the freedom we enjoy in this country. News of Sundays unprovoked shooting shook Mr. Sahi and his fellow Sikhs to the core. Many Sikhs, like Mr. Sahi himself, moved to the United States in an attempt to flee religious persecution. Though he maintains that the United States has provided a refreshed sense of freedom and equality for Sikhs, he recognizes that religious intolerance continues to persist in their newfound land of liberty. Though this countrys Constitution gives rights to all people, we continue with the same struggle, he said, noting, Liberty and equality do not come freely. You have to fight for it. Beyond the pain he feels for his fellow Sikhs, Mr. Sahi was particularly affected by the death of officer, Lieutenant Brian Murphy, who took at least 8 bullets in an attempt to save lives. I become emotional, said Mr. Sahi, the feeling palpable in his quivering voice. Most troubling to Mr. Sahi is why the gunman would target a religious group with longstanding roots in the kind treatment of others. Sikhism, a monotheistic religion founded more than 500 years ago, is centered on principles of peace and justice for
all human beings regardless of religious practice. Though the majority live in India, an estimated 400,000 Sikhs live in the United States, according to reports. All Sikhs are encouraged to practice acts of social reform and follow the teachings of the 11 gurus, or enlightened leaders. In the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks, he notes, Unfortunately, we all tend to be identified at a distance. They see our beards and turbans and make assumptions. Misconceptions are fostered against all religions, spurred by those who take good principles and use them for wrongful purposes, Mr. Sahi recognized. We are not the problem. Its the fanatics, the fundamentalists who try to sell their viewpoint by force, that are the problem, he said. Every religion is good. The badness is in the person who is preaching wrong things. Learning to navigate the misconceptions, especially with many preaching the wrong message, is a challenge that one local interfaith working group continues to tackle. The first obstacle is acknowledgment, according to the Reverend Sharon RhodesWickett, lead pastor at Claremont United Methodist Church. We must recognize that our nation has grown more intolerant in recent history, Rev. RhodesWickett said. To that end, we are working on ways to invite people to see one another with open minds and hearts. The annual Interfaith Walk for Peaceto be held this year on Sunday, September 9is one way the local community can participate in fostering religious tolerance, according to Rev. Rhodes Wickett and Mr. McAfee. During the peace walk, hundreds from all religious arenas and beyond gather to march from one religious institution to another to step outside doctrinal borders. People wanting to witness that liberty and justice for all really is the civic religion of our land should show up, Mr. McAfee said. Participation has a way of making our ideals real instead of just being empty rhetoric. Despite the hardships, steps taken toward tolerance help remind us of our common threads, according to Najeeba Syeed-Miller, assistant professor of interreligious education at the Claremont School of Theology. We can share this connection to help work together to help each other, Ms. Syeed-Miller said. We can also begin to understand the beautiful tapestry that comprises our nation and work even harder to get to know one another. The task is as simple as visiting a gurdwara to learn more about the Sikh tradition. Dont rely on second-
hand information, Ms. Syeed-Miller encouraged. In the end, we are neighbors in our local communities, she said. Exploring how we can have positive interfaith encounters is a key to building a stronger bond between us all as Americans.

No taste is the best taste for Claremont water

Claremont residents may be experiencing a musty taste and odor in their tap water, but it is an aesthetic problem caused by an algae bloom and not a health hazard, according to water quality experts. Officials at the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California said the taste-and-odor event is affecting tap water in eastern Los Angeles County communities. The earthy taste and smell stem from an especially large and persistent algae bloom in the east branch of the State Water Project, according to Jim Green, Metropolitans manager of water system operations. We are working with the State Department of Water Resources (DWR)which owns and operates the state systemto address the situation, Mr. Green said. Consumers, however, can be assured that the taste-and-odor issues they may be experiencing in their tap water do not pose any health risks. The cause has been identified as both 2methylisoborneal, or MIB, and geosmin. These nuisance compounds are produced from the growth of certain algae in freshwaters throughout the world. Unfortunately, people with sensitive taste and smell can detect these compounds in water levels as low as 5 parts-per-trillion, Mr. Green said. Mr. Green suggested refrigerating drinking water to help improve its taste until the problem diminishes. Though DWR water quality experts recently applied copper sulfate, an approved method, to control the algae bloom, Mr. Green cautions the problem may persist for another couple weeks. Officials stressed that the treated water will be safe for consumers. Fish and wildlife also will not be impacted.

scape. The canyon almost looks like a fire was never thereexcept for the former homes. I realize most of us have seen burned-out structures. But the sheer enormity of seeing so many, in such a pristine setting, is jarring. Then a home untouched by fire pops up, still lived in by one of the current residents. Now thats commitment. And then theres the tree house. Actually, its a little house in a tree. I expected an old gent with a long gray beard to stick his head out and tell me to get lost. No one lives there now, but whats weird is it wasnt touched by fireeven though the homes below were destroyed. My advice would be not to take your family up the canyon for a picnic. The last thing anyone wants is lookie-loos. Our story of the canyon are in the Almanac. Maybe its just better to remember Palmer Canyon as the vibrant neighborhood it once was.
Letter to the editor I am the last person to want to continue our conversation on Michael Valentines comments last week. But being a publisher and human being, I will second-guess myself after reading the responses from readers. There were many good points. The COURIER readers comments are managed by Kathryn Dunn and she makes every effort to make sure many voices are heard. We have criteria for people to follow, but no blanket policies on what is refused. Much of it is common sense, something our managing editor has a lot of. We take each letter on a case-by-case basis. In retrospect, I dont think we should have published Mr. Valentines comments. There was really nothing to advance a conversation on anything current. It started with a quote from my father Martin that was over 25 years old. When I first read the
comments, thats what hit me. Old, old news. I cannot remember a reader comment so passionately negative about old stuff that went on in the city. It was almost a history lesson of Claremont events. This was an eye-opener for me. Obviously, it was also hard to take the criticism of my father. Unfair or not, I had to ask myself why? It clearly brought out old wounds of losing him, so much so, I didnt even show the edition to my mother Janis. It would only upset her. My comment to Mr. Valentines letter has been rightfully construed as projecting a love it or leave it attitude. That was not my intention. While I might have been a bit oversensitive, Ive learned the love and defense of our parents extends even after they have left us.

READERS COMMENTS
War is deception
Dear Editor, On August 3, 2012 beginning at 6:30 p.m. at the Brethren Church courtyard in La Verne, a small group of committed peacemakers gathered to hold a peace vigil remembering the victims of nuclear war and nuclear accidents. Approximately 4560 members of the communities of La Verne, Claremont, San Dimas and Pomona assembled for this yearly event sponsored jointly by Peace with Justice of the Pomona Valley and Pax Christi. Both groups work together for a common goal: a more peaceful and just world. Pax Christis priorities are based on the Catholic social teachings. Those present were people who believe that we must not ignore nor forget how dangerous nuclear power is. Steven Rushing Wind (a Native American flute player) and his young daughter, a beautiful improvisational dancer, opened the event. During the open mic segment of the program Al Villanueva, Marjorie Michaels, Cindy Adair and 2 other ladies shared what the event meant to them. It was fresh, spontaneous and personal, in the present moment, and very moving. Marjorie sang a song by David Kovics titled Hiroshima and played her accordion. A thought that occurred to me immediately afterwards was how everyone present at this event, whether they spoke or not, was a special blessing in that each came with the hope of peace in their hearts and with a wish for future generations that nuclear weapons would never be used again. For myself, this peace and justice work is very hard. It also reminded me of the time a young Marine from Camp Pendleton about to be sent on his third deployment to Iraq came by the corner of Arrow Highway and Indian Hill Boulevard to thank us Peaceniks for picketing for peace. Truly, our young men and women soldiers sacrifice for us Americans when we make choices to go to war. My dad, who served 4 years during WWII in the Pacific, would only say, War is hell. For him, this summed it up completely. I never knew my dad had earned a purple heart until after his death. He never wanted to talk about the war, it was too horrible. In honor of all the thousands of dads down through history who have fought to keep the home front safe, it behooves us all to work for, and pray for peace. As a kindergarten teacher years ago, rule number one was: no hitting, no spitting, no biting, no fighting. The little ones understood and followed this rule or they got time out. Isnt it time for the rest of us to learn how to get along in a civilized manner? It will not be as simple or as easy as a kindergarten classroom but we must give it our best shot (no pun intended). Pax Christi in collaboration with Peace and Justice meets the second Saturday of every month from 10 a.m. to noon, usually at Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Church and occasionally at a local restaurant. We will meet at the Dolce Caf on Central Avenue in Montclair on August 11 at 10 a.m. Come and join us, all are welcome, and perhaps working together we can help form a safer, saner world for our children and grandchildren, at least that is our goal. My hope and prayer for all of us: one people, one planet, under God, with justice and liberty and peace for all. No exceptions. Its a big order, lets get started.

Questions for the city council to ponder

Dear Editor: 1. The citizens of southern California were asked and then mandated to reduce water consumption by 15-20 percent, depending on location. In most cases we have complied. Why are we now being asked to make up the loss of revenue by increased water rates? 2. Why did all city council members not attend the water rate hearings? 3.Why was the city manager not at these hearings? 4. Why do we continue to pour money down the drain and pursue purchasing the water company? 5. Does the city council realize that they are purchasing an aging infrastructure of 50-100 years? 6. Will it take another 100 years for the city to make a profit on the water company? 7. Why is the city attorney (part time) the highest paid official in Claremont?

More about water costs

Dear Editor: We moved to Claremont 4 years ago to enjoy retirement, the third-ofan-acre we bought in the city and the downtown area. The downtown area has lived up to its reputation. Living on our land has not. We landscaped with what we were told were "drought resistant" plants but our water bill has always been very high. We also have a pool and a small pond and waterfall, which now only translates to a much higher water bill. Now we're told to expect a 15 percent increase next year, followed by 2 smaller increases. We just converted our house to solar to offset the electric increases that we know will come in the next 10 years. Expensive, but necessary. Also, we feel, the responsible thing to do. Besides finding a way to eliminate outside watering completely, what options do we have to counter the unrealistic water increase? Can we purchase a similar solar option? I'd love to have a water option that mirrors our solar option.

School board to review codes and HR matters
he Claremont Unified School District Board of Education will hold its next meeting on Thursday, August 9 at the Richard S. Kirkendall Education Center at 170 W. San Jose Ave. in Claremont. Action items will include a vote to approve shared school site waivers for Danbury Elementary and Community Day schools, which are connected with Sumner Elementary and San Antonio High School, respectively. The waivers seek exemption from Education Code Section 5282, stating that each school participating in a coordinated school-based program must have a council composed of a specific principal/teacher/parent/student ratio. Fulfilling this requirement would entail maintaining a council of 10 individuals, including 5 parents or community members, at Danbury and a council of 12 individuals, including 3 parents or community members and 3 students, at Community Day. Its standard for such waivers to be granted to sites with less than 120 students. Exempted schools are still required to elect a council including representatives of staff, students and parents and/or community members. The waiver must be renewed every 2 years. The Board will also vote to approve the exemption of 55 CHS students from the 2-year physical education requirement. This waiver will
allow the students to make room in their juniorand senior-year schedules to enroll in other courses such as English, math, science, foreign language, social science or arts. Additionally, there will be a vote to approve new job descriptions created by Human Resources, which recently reviewed existing descriptions of management positions to ensure they aligned with current job duties and functions. Revamped descriptions include those for the principal of San Antonio High and Community Day, coordinator of alternative education and nutrition services and the coordinator of the service center and custodial services. The Consent Agenda at the meeting will include a number of human resources matters, including the finalizing of agreements with a number of contractors. These include those providing speech and language services for the districts special education students, plus instructors and consultants for elementary and junior highlevel music programs and a district-wide elementary music program coordinator. The public is welcome to all CUSD board meetings. For more information, you can peruse the agenda for the upcoming meeting on the districts website (www.cusd.claremont.edu) under the Board of Education link.

Never too early to get feedback for construction projects
he city of Claremont encourages homeowners planning construction projects to stop by the Planning Department early in the design process to make sure their project complies with city zoning and design requirements. To get the best information possible, homeowners should bring a preliminary site plan depicting the size and shape of the property, adjacent streets and the locations of all existing and proposed structures on the property. Pictures of existing conditions and proposed materials and colors are also helpful. For fences and simple patio covers, staffs over the counter review may be all that is necessary for approval. Other projects will require additional information, including scaled drawings of the site plan, floor plan, elevations (side view drawings) and roof plans. All applicable development standards such as setbacks, size of the structures and height restrictions can be found on Title 16 of the Claremont Municipal Code, available online at www.ci.claremont.ca.us or by calling the Planning Department at 399-5470.
Food scraps and AAA batteries

by Freeman Allen
n our February article, we reported that a team of 5 students in the Environmental Analysis Program at Pomona College was working with city staff and community members to research options for increasing diversion of solid waste in the city from landfills. Options being considered were focused on food scrap diversion, including composting and possibly anaerobic digestion.
Nearly 30 percent of landfill content from Claremont is from food scraps, a resource that should be recycled to our natural environment. The team turned up some exciting possibilities. At Claremont McKenna College, Brian Worley, director of facilities and campus services, is using a food waste dehydrator to handle all the food waste from their dining hall, including bones and paper waste. The food waste is heated to 180 degrees and churned for about 18 hours in a well-insulated machine the size of a large refrigerator that removes about 90 percent of the mass as pure water, and leaves a sterile, fluffy tan residue with a mild, agreeable odor. This material is bagged and taken to the college food gardens, where it is mixed with compost to be used as a slow-release fertilizer (N,P,K composition about 11,1,2). What if we had machines such as this, perhaps shared, for our restaurants and other major sources of food waste? I would like to have some of that fertilizer product for my own garden and fruit trees perhaps all the product could be used locally. The cost of purchase and operation might be offset by the savings achieved through fewer trips to the landfill. A longer-term green benefit would address that environmental juggernaut, global warming. Decomposing trash releases significant amounts of methanea potent greenhouse gas. Less trash
Demystifying
SUSTAINABILITY
going into the landfills means less methane, and a happier atmosphere. What a win, win, win situation! This Friday, Sustainable Claremont will be meeting with representatives of Somat, the manufacturers of the food dehydrator currently used at CMC. Last week, we met with makers of BioGreen360, a similar machine that further digests the waste with aerobic microorganisms. We will continue to learn more about this technology, and promise to report back to the community what we learn, and how we might one day recycle 90 percent of Claremonts table scraps. Our planet-protecting brethren at Claremont-based Uncommon Good have taken things a step further and agreed to test a truckload of BioGreen360s fertilizer product to improve the soil on one of the nonprofits social justice urban farms. Well be interested to learn the results. That said, we need more community involvement to determine the broad viability of this powerful technology. If you have thoughts about using one of these solid waste recyclers for handling Claremonts food waste, or if you would like to learn more, please let us know at info@sustainableclaremont.org. Helping the Energizer Bunny While on the subject of solid waste, Im tempted to share what I have been slow to learn about household batteriesthe typical AA and AAA alkaline batteries used in so many gadgets such as flashlights and remote controls. Ive been buying these use-it-once-and-discard batteries for years, collecting the dead batteries in a plastic bag, and every year or so taking them to a hazardous waste disposal facility. What a nuisance.
With my television set, I use wireless headphones so that I can watch Charlie Rose at midnight without disturbing anyonewell, actually, I like to record the program and watch when I can stay awake. For this I use rechargeable batteries, since they have to be renewed every few days. At one time, I used NiCd batteries but they are a big problem if they get into landfills (cadmium is toxic), and they dont have as much stored power as the alkaline batteries. In recent years, I switched to nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries that avoid the toxicity problem, but they lost their charge in under a year, even if not used, so I didnt switch to NiMH rechargables for things like flashlights and remote controls. Then, a few months ago, I noticed Costco had a huge stack of alkaline AA and AAA batteries for sale, but also a small corner with rechargeable NiMH batteries that hold their charge for 3 years. These use a newer low self discharge (LSD) technology. Wow, I thought, just what I need for those other gadgets. So I looked into their capacity compared to the alkaline batteriesjust about the same! I couldnt find any reason not to switch, so now I have and Ive been at least 5 years late in discovering this great option! Costco sells AAA batteries in packs of 48 at about 3 for a dollar (surprisingly, the larger AAs are cheaper!). For a pack of 4, the more common size package, the cost is about a dollar per battery. The rechargeables are less than 5 cents per recharge, and recharge is easy in a 6-hour charger about the size of a pack of cigarettes that holds 4 each of the AAs and AAAs. Its so much more convenient than keeping a supply of alkaline batteries, storing the dead ones and then carting them to the toxic waste disposal center. And I like the cost savings. Why didnt I catch on earlier?

Joseph Wojcik, Sr.

Veteran, runner, lifelong learner
Joseph Joe John Wojcik, Sr. laced up his running shoes for the last time and crossed the ultimate finish line on Tuesday, July 31, 2012 in Claremont, California. He was 71 years old and had battled pancreatic cancer for 11 months. Mr. Wojcik was born in Chicago, Illinois on January 27, 1941 and grew up with his sister Diane speaking Polish in the home. He was valedictorian of his high school class at Holy Trinity High School, where he played baseball, football and basketball. In 1962, Mr. Wojcik graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York where he was a regimental boxing champion, vice chairman of the honor committee and training officer on the Brigade Staff. After receiving his commission in the US Air Force, he was assigned to Bitburg Air Force Base in Germany where he was a missile maintenance officer and coached the base and squadron basketball and baseball teams. After serving in the Air Force, Mr. Wojcik worked for Johnson and Johnson in New Brunswick, New Jersey. He obtained his Master of Business Administration from New York University in 1973. In 1982, Mr. Wojcik moved his family to Claremont. He ended his corporate career at the age of 54 after working for Merck/Medco, where he managed the companys mail-order pharmacy in Las Vegas, Nevada. His years at West Point and in the Air Force impressed on him the importance of structure, a quality he strived to pass onto his children. They were expected to get up early, do their homework and generally live an ordered life. Despite the regimentation, Mr. Wojcik is remembered as a joy to be around. He was certainly a very driven man, very disciplined, and had a lot of goals he set for himself, his son, Joe Wojcik, Jr., shared. But at the same time, he was fun-loving and quick with a joke or witticism. After retirement, Mr. Wojcik volunteered his time by teaching English to Polish students in Poland and coaching his grandsons basketball teams. He stayed extremely active: golfing, playing tennis, running and traveling. A lifelong learner who enjoyed auditing courses at the Claremont Colleges
OBITUARIES
He was on a never-ending quest for knowledge, all the way into his late 60s and early 70s, Joe Jr. recalled. Perhaps Mr. Wojciks greatest legacy was his running streak of 12,628 days (34.5 years) of daily running. This feat included 60 marathons, and running in all 50 states and 27 countries. His total distance over this period was 63,140 miles for an average daily run of 5 miles. He ran the Boston Marathon 8 times and the Los Angeles Marathon 24 years in a row. Mr. Wojcik is survived by his wife of almost 50 years, Suzanne Wojcik; by his son Joe Wojcik, Jr., his wife Brooke and their sons Jack and Logan of Sun Valley, Idaho; by his daughter Kara Parsons, her husband John and their sons Max, Harry and Gus of San Francisco; and by his daughter Alison Wojcik of Covina and her son Kyle Ochoa of Claremont. A memorial service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial donations be made to VNA and Hospice of southern California, 150 W. First St., Claremont, CA 91711.
like the history of economics, Mr. Wojcik was quick to lend his expertise to others. He once helped his nephew win a sizeable amount of money by serving as a lifeline on the game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Its small wonder he reached out to his Uncle Joe when stumped for an answer to a trivia question. Mr. Wojcik was an avid reader, enjoyed watching Jeopardy and loved crossword puzzles, once qualifying for a national crossword championship.

Proposals sought for Claremont art plan
OUR TOWN
The City of Claremont is seeking proposals from qualified consultants to work with staff to produce a Public Art Master Plan. The master plan will provide direction to city staff, the community and human services commission and the Claremont City Council on the planning and processes necessary to administer public art within the city. The master plan will also identify a unified community vision, clarify key themes and values and provide direction for the selection and placement of public art
throughout the community. It will serve as a tool to address funding sources, review criteria and define the staffing levels and decision-making processes necessary to achieve the communitys vision for public art. The complete proposal form can be found on the city website at www.ci.claremont.ca.us. Proposals are due by Thursday, August 30 at 2 p.m. Responses received after this date will not be considered. Please direct questions regarding the form to Melissa Vollaro, community and human services manager. She can be reached at 399-4558 or by e-mail at mvollaro@ci.claremont.ca.us.
CHS gets ready with new turf, ongoing construction

he Claremont High School campus has been busier than usual this summer. Demolition continues on the CHS Theatre, and its renovation should be completed at the end of February. On July 23, Dana Toland, superintendent of PCM Construction, led a tour of the gutted structure for CHS Principal Brett OConnor, Assistant Principal Steven Patterson and COURIER staff.
With much of the stage and several walls and staircases ripped out, the theater looked cavernous. When it reopens, it will feature stadium-style seating, handicap accessible ramps, a new lobby and ticket area and an expanded backstage with room for lighting, costuming, makeup and props. Meanwhile, FieldTurf workers are laying down new turf on the football field, which will be completed by Friday, August 17. The football team is currently practicing on the baseball outfield. Seams still have to be sewn on the new turf, which rests on a bed of sand and

rubber pellets recycled from the old turf. After that, the attention of CHS facilities workers will turn to the repainting of the lines on the track. By the time the paint dries, it will almost be time for the Wolfpacks inaugural football game against Great Oak High School on Friday, August 24. The game is taking place in advance of the first day of school, Wednesday, August 29, because CIF has moved its season up to allow an extra week for state playoffs. The previous turf lasted 11 years, exceeding its projected life of 10 years. After being used extensively for a variety of sports and activities, the old turf had definitely lost its oomph, according to Principal OConnor. The torn-up squares of the old turf have the consistency and resilience of the synthetic grass used to cushion treats in Easter baskets. Called FieldTurf Revolution, the new turfwhich is also expected to last 10 yearsis said to degrade more slowly than the previous turf, and to have better drainage. Its the second time turf has been installed on the football field. Before that, the high school had a grass field, whichgiven the fact that its used for football, soccer, track and field and PEdidnt hold up well. In the old days, by the time we got to the end of the school year, the grass on the existing football field was demolished, Rick Dutton, athletic director, recalled. From one goal line to the other goal line, it was just dirt, with a little grass on the sidelines. It was overused. Each year, CHS sports teams would have to take a month-long summer hiatus from practice so the grass could re-grow. Other drawbacks to the grass field included the heavy use of water and the fact that potholes

and ruts tended to develop, posing a risk of injury for the schools athletes. The turf has been a big improvement, but its definitely been in need of replacement. The field had lost all its bounce. Were looking forward to the new turf, Mr. Dutton said. Football fans will have something else to appreciate along with fresh turf and a nicely-painted track. The football boosters have installed 80 seats in the stadium, which they plan to sell to season ticket-holders as an annual fundraiser. Those who splurge will have their own special seats reserved throughout the course of the football season. Its a good ideakind of a novelty, Mr. Dutton said.
A pile of discarded rebar lies on the ground behind the Claremont High School Theatre building on Monday during the demolition phase of the buildings renovation. An old addition was removed from this side of the theater, which will be replaced with a much larger backstage area.

From hats to tacos: Historic building has glory days ahead

laremonts second oldest building is experiencing big changes. The former home of the Village Atticoriginally a ticket office built in the late 1800s is trying out a new trade: its becoming a taco stand.
The unnamed taco business, taking over the little white house at 211 W. First St., marks the third Village venture by native Claremonter John Solana, his second with friend Erick Johnson. Its also the third time Mr. Solana will have repurposed a historic building in town for a new use with help from local architect Mark Schoeman. First, it was fitting the former icehouse with his inagural restaurant The Back Abbey, followed by repurposing the old florists building on Yale Avenue with his new eatery, Union on Yale. The architectural commission granted its approval of the project last month, providing the new concept with the last nod needed to move forward with final details and construction. Mr. Solana expects construction to begin in late fall and hopes the business will be open by the first of the year if not sooner. However, the commissions final approval was greeted by mixed emotions from residents seeking to ensure the historical integrity of the space. As with projects past, Mr. Solana hopes to move forward toward the new without erasing Claremonts cherished past. I love these special gems Claremont has to offer. I want to bring them back to their original glory, Mr. Solana said of his buildings. I dont believe in replicationanyone can tear down and start over. I am trying to do this right. The historic First Street house holds great significance to the city, and the desire for its preservation is not without merit. The shingled white house was one of the original cottages or model homes used to entice people to come to live here, according to late historian Judy Wright and former tenant George Hernandez of The Village Attic. The effort was not very successful, and Claremont spent some years as a ghost town, Ms. Wright explained in a 2008 interview. The house was used as a ticket office for the Pacific Electric Railroad and later as the real estate office for Charles Vaile, an active player in the founding of the city. It has played host to a string of other businesses of Claremonts past, from Shrimps boutique to a custom-made leather goods and sandals store called the Village Idiot to the original Folk Music Center. In the 1950s and 60s, folk music singer Joan Baez practiced in the building. Grandpa Chase of the Folk Music Center would paint peace signs on acorns at the old house and pass them out to children, said Greg Sheldon, owner of the Village Idiot from 1969 to 1981, in a previous interview with the COURIER. Mr. Hernandez, owner of The Village Attic and the last tenant of the white house, used the building to sell hats, vin-
COURIER photos/Steven Felschundneff The interior of the former Village Attic is now empty except for a couple of discarded items. The building looks to be in some disrepair and has a vine growing on the roof.
The small storefront at 211 W. First St. in Claremont is one of the oldest buildings in the city and it has housed a large variety of businesses over the years. The most recent to vacate, The Village Attic, which opened in 2008, will be replaced by a taco stand.
from the era of the building to replace the windows and a coat of paint to replicate its origins, removable panels will be placed along the inside of the building. The floor will be removed, restored and fixed with a special coat he claims can be sanded and removed without harm to the original work. There is a lot of infrastructure work to bring it back up to code, and that is what [Mr. Solana] is providing without taking away from the historical character of the building, said Amy Fass, vice chair of the Claremont Architectural Commission, emphasizing the commissions pleasure with Mr. Solanas past endeavors. What he has done so far is wonderful. I hope this has a similar outcome, bringing life to a house that has been neglected.

tage pieces and memorabilia among other items, but his most important purpose, he says, was to provide a community gathering space. It was a little ambassadorship for the city of Claremont, Mr. Hernandez said of the people he met from around the world, those visiting the colleges or otherwise. This small, historic building will never again have a visitor to Claremont in it...unless you are a cook. A small back sitting area will be added, with the construction of a bathroom and janitorial space separate from the original structure. The building will be closed off, fitted entirely with kitchen space. In addition to disappointment that the building will be shut off from the public, Mr. Hernandez fears irreversible damage or modifications to character-defining features inside the structure, particularly the flooring. John Neiuber, president of Claremont Heritages board of directors, asserts that while the building itself is protected on the citys Register Site of Historic and Architectural Merit in Claremont, the inside is additionally protected. Nothing can be done to the inside of a building to permanently alter it, Mr. Neiuber said, noting examples like Padua Hills Theatre, where the original theater seating can be found below the floorboards, though not readily apparent when walking into the establishment now. Mr. Solana notes the building has changed significantly in the last 50 years. He vows to work toward properly restoring and maintaining the building and to put in safeguards to ensure it remains the same, should the taco stand go under. In addition to using original glass

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 714-730-2727 or visit this Internet Web site address www.lpsasap.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case file number CA1200054755. 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.
