Transparency now
Dear Editor: While we disagree with Ms. Marilee Scaffs opinion that the time is now to forcibly acquire Golden State (The Time is Now, COURIER, January 12), the California Alliance to Protect Private Property Rights strongly believes that the time is now for the city to release its feasibility study to the public so that Claremonters can be aware of the costs associated with such a risky venture. For far too long, the city of Claremont has been politicking in support of a forcible seizure of Golden State Waters property and water rights without releasing any facts. Common sense dictates that you cannot acquire a water system worth millions of dollars without passing on those costs to ratepayers, but the city has been playing off Claremonters fears of future water rates and has refused to address the fact that seizing Golden State Water would increase future water rates further. Claremont residents should remember that, according to a Claremont McKenna economist and water expert, even at the current offer of $54 million the average Claremont resident would see a water bill increase of about $500 per year! In other words, its time for the city of Claremont to stop with the negative rhetoric and, instead, respect the intelligence of Claremont residents by releasing actual numbers that support its position. If the city cannot back up its claims by using legitimate facts and figures, the Alliance believes the city has no option but to back away from such a risk-laden scheme.

Pixleys statement
Dear Editor: I read a recent column by John Pixley in which he talked about various ways to make a statement. An additional way that both John and I make a statement every time we go out in public has to do with our cerebral palsy. For centuries, people like us were hidden away and not allowed to go in public. Fortunately, the world has changed and we have the ability to lead more mainstream lives. From my perspective, every time we go out in public, we are saying that despite CP we have as much right to participate in all aspects of life as anybody else.

CITY NEWS
Local water issues and the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park top the citys priorities heading into 2013. The 2 hot topics were added to the citys ongoing focus on economic development, financial stability and overall city sustainability at the Claremont City Councils priorities workshop last Saturday. Every year, council members and city administrators assemble to establish priorities, policies and projects for the year ahead. Few new items were added to the already heaping list of projects and priorities as officials look to focus on matters most important to the Claremont community. The water issue is going to remain a major focus of the city and the city council, said Councilmember Sam Pedroza, who initiated adding water to the top of the citys list of priorities. Water is a very big issue that is going to monopolize a lot of our staff time and rightly so because it impacts not only Claremont today, but Claremont in the future. Dealing with continued problems at the Wilderness Park is not far behind. Several members of the Claremont Wildlands Conservancy (CWC) were present at Saturdays early-morning meeting to support the citys decision to create a master plan. Board members feel this plan will more thoroughly address safety problems relating to traffic congestion at the citys popular wilderness trails. Expanding the parking lot at the North Mills entrance, set to open in late February or March, is not enough, they say. This is a chance to look at the big picture, emphasized Lissa Peterson, board president of the CWC. Ms. Peterson reiterated that the CWC board is willing to help in the plans construction. Within the last couple of years, the number of visitors to the Claremont Wilderness Park has skyrocketed from 30,000 visitors reported in 2006 to an estimated 300,000 in 2011, according to city officials. The growing number of visitors has created an equally concerning issue of traffic congestion. Packed lots have led to overflowing street parking and cars jammed bumperto-bumper along adjacent streets. Though plans are already underway for expanding one Wilderness Loop parking lot, council directed staff to move forward with conducting parking studies over the summer to identify spaces for potential new parking lots. These include the lot at the northeast corner of Mills and Mt. Baldy Road, Mountain and Via Santa Catarina as well as the end of Pomello Avenue. The council also supported Ms. Petersons call for creating an overall master plan to continue to address park maintenance, hours of operation, as well as parking on and off city streets. City Manager Tony Ramos did acknowledge that developing the master plan would take some time. It may take a little longer but it will be done right, he said. Charter city Plans for the Wilderness Park move forward, but any action on turning Claremont into a charter city is on the back burner as the city focuses its funds on more pressing issues. There are perks to moving from general law to charter city: more local control and overall effi-
No surprises with citys top priorities this year

ciency, because the city would be able to define its own governing system separate from state laws and regulations. It would also provide economic development tools, according to Assistant City Manager Colin Tudor. But along with the perks come a number of consequences, including the potential for expensive lawsuits and overall high expenses throughout the process of obtaining charter city status. You could probably liken the cost to...a conservative budget of maybe $100,000 because of the consultants and the people you need to bring into the process, said City Attorney Sonia Carvalho. When you take into consideration the election costs as well as the attorney fees, I personally think you are looking closer to $200,000-$250,000. Ms. Carvalho mentioned that the city of Costa Mesa, recently went through the process to become a charter city, spent near half a million dollars. With these high numbers in mind, council members unanimously opted to hold off on any decisions relating to becoming a charter city as it focuses its efforts and funds on other matters. Our highest priority is this water issue, said Mayor Pro Tem Opanyi Nasiali. I would love to see all staffs energy and resources...really focused on that. Reserve policy With continued plans to keep Claremont in the black this coming year, the council adopted guidelines on spending the citys reserve funds, particularly those under the Equipment and Facility Revolving Reserve fund. The Equipment and Facility Revolving Reserve fund was created last May to be used for city renovation projects, furniture and equipment replacements as well as other minor facility enhancements. To date, about $188,400 in that account has been used for terrace repairs at Claremont Heritages Garner House, bleachers at Blaisdell and College Parks, equipment and furniture replacement at the Youth Activity Center
and copper theft alarm systems at Cahuilla and Wheeler parks. The present balance of the reserve account is $645,559. Due to concern about what constitutes necessary repair, the council asked that city administrators to draft a more specific set of standards. Staff presented a potential guide for evaluating such matters before the council on Saturday, breaking the criteria into 5 different categories: disrepair/interoperability, safety/liability concerns, program necessity, excessive cost of maintenance and previously identified but unfunded items. City manager and city council approval will also be needed. Mr. Nasiali, who had asked for the criteria to be created, voiced his pleasure with the end result. This is really what I was looking for, Mr. Nasiali said. Its nice to have them somewhere so a new person coming in [to office] tomorrow will know what the guidelines are. For projects without much-needed funding, such as the construction of a new public safety facility, Planning Commissioner Bob Tener suggested the city establish an unfunded priority list similar to that of other local cities. Mr. Tener believes such a list would keep the visibility and some long-range advanced planning underway. The city will look to make such a list to include items such as the continued expansion of Oak Park Cemetery and further bicycle and pedestrian safety projects. I do concur with the concept of some sort of priority list, said Councilmember Corey Calaycay, noting that Many of these thingsif not up on a boardyou forget about. That list has merit. More than 15 other priorities and projects are featured on the city of Claremonts list of goals for the year ahead.

City issues new statement on Golden State study
ate last year, Golden State Water Company, the for-profit water company that serves Claremont residents and businesses, released an economic
study they commissioned in an attempt to discourage the citys potential acquisition of the Claremont water system.
Dr. Rodney Smith, who has also recently contacted media outlets attempting to portray the citys recent
offer to purchase the water system as inadequate and a risk to city finances, prepared the study. Regardless of the public affairs campaign being waged by Golden State Water, Claremont will continue to base all decisions related to the potential acquisition of the water system on facts and independent analyses,
said City Manager Tony Ramos. Too often we see lobbying groups and their surrogates release so-called studies to gin up press and promote the interests of their clients. View Mr. Ramoss full statement on the COURIER website at www.claremont-courier.com.

Gallery encourages sounds of music at latest exhibit
ts not uncommon for curators to warn patrons against touching works of art on display. Curators of the dA Center for the Arts latest show, however, are encouraging the opposite. Artisans of Musical Design, led by 2 of Claremonts own, beckons visitors to get up close and personal with the musical crafts on exhibit through January 26.
Handcrafted guitars hang from the ceiling, beckoning for a strum, while wooden drums await eager hands in the gallerys center. Glittering accordions and cigar-box guitars also adorn the gallery, handmade and available for playing, despite their ornate appearance. I love the idea of seeing that fine line between a functional object like a musical instrument that can be used to produce art being art itself, said Michael Kotzen, one of the exhibition curators and a Claremont resident. A lot of the instruments in this show straddle that line perfectly. Interactivity isnt the only atypical aspect of this unique art display, now in its second year. Artisans of Musical Design represents a special collaboration of artists across the region equally passionate about their music as they are about the melodious art pieces they create. Its all about building community, and helping to support this unique group of [craftsmen], said Martin Maudal, curating the exhibit along with Mr. Kotzen. The musical engagement began last year without the fanfare that now surrounds the exhibit. The one-day showing took place in a back room of the Pomona gallery as a favor to Mr. Maudal by gallery worker Chris Toovey, who employs Mr. Maudal at his tree trimming business. Mr. Toovey had become familiar with Mr. Maudals woodworked guitars, many made with the scraps gathered from tree trimming. Mr. Maudal and fellow artists displayed their instruments during dAs annual artisans boutique in December 2011. As a part of that sale, the craftsmen came together in a spontaneous, improvisational jam session, encouraging visitors to grab one of the hanging instruments and do the same. Mr. Toovey remembers the extraordinary cacophony of sound that followed. You have didgeridoos and all these different styles of drums getting into a groove. It was very tribal, Mr. Toovey recalled. It was remarkable. The exhibit is now upgraded to frontroom status. Gallerygoers were given a special treat last weekend when the artists came together in a special opening-night performance, melding the sounds of their instrumental displays, from washtub bass to didgeridoo. It was awesome, Mr. Maudal said. It was every bit as cool as the first time.

Spectators listen to the music of J. T. Whitney and Martin Maudal Saturday during the opening reception for Artisans of Musical Design show in Pomona.
Among the artisans involved in this seasons show are a number of Claremont notables such as Richard Barnes of the Folk Music Center and Kirk Delman of the Ruth Chandler Williamson Gallery at Scripps College, who has several joint projects with Mr. Kotzen on exhibit.
One of Mr. Kotzens notable drums stands in the middle of the room slightly masked by its design, resembling a table. Mr. Kotzen finds pleasure in the delight on peoples faces when they begin to drum on the wooden tabletop. I really like to surprise people, said Mr. Kotzen of hidden chambers he con-
ceals under the tables top. I enjoy watching to see their faces as they hit a different spot and discover a different sound. Its the most fun. Mr. Kotzens craft began like many other instrument craftsmen, out of necessity. Unable to find the Cajon box drum he sought, introduced to him by Dorothy Chase of the Folk Music Center, he set out to create his own. He did, and now he makes a living off making drums for others. Its been immensely rewarding to work with percussionists to fashion an instrument that suits their playing style and the type of music it will be used for, Mr. Kotzen said. JT Whitney, founder of Whitney Drums, also found reward and profit in his woodwork. Mr. Whitney channels his running imagination into his instrumental masterpieces. I have always had wild ideas dancing around in my head, Mr. Whitney said. If my mind was otherwise idle, it would be designing and fabricating somethingmotorcycles in my youth, musical instruments later on. Mr. Whitney put his imagination and background as a woodworker and a musician to use with the creation of his button chromatic accordions, several of which are on display at the dA along with numerous drums including a drum set. Years later, when Mr. Whitney noticed a bandmate carting heavy drum pieces back and forth to practice, his imagination ran wild once again. My mind started dancing with ideas that would improve on conventional drum and hardware designs, Mr. Whitney said. This led to what is now my primary business, Whitney Drums. Mr. Maudal found inspiration in the trees surrounding his Claremont Village abode. Using scrap wood collected from his tree trimming work, Mr. Maudal created his luthier business, Carolann Guitars. A line of guitars made out of trees along Ninth Street hang on display at the dA, along with a piece of wood used to

COURIER athlete of the week Junior Hannah Chua has continued to impress as Claremonts holding midfielder on the soccer team. Chua has begun 2013 with 2 goals and an assist in the Packs first 2 conference matches. In total, Chua scored 11 goals and has 6 assists on the season. Chuas contribution to the team means that opposing defenders must always be on the back foot; her vision gives teammates a license to roam and the obligation to get open, knowing they will usually be found by an in-stride through pass. Claremont looks to make it 5 wins on the trot come Wednesday, and Chua will undoubtedly maintain her spot as the creative influence of the Packs vaunted midfield.

create his prized pieces. Its really fun to slice [a piece of wood] open and watch it magically transform, Mr. Maudal said. Its like alchemy. Its magical. Mr. Maudal and Mr. Kotzen find it equally enchanting to watch gallery visitors discover their own inspiration within the artists works. Mr. Kotzen says that he, in turn, inevitably learns something new from the experience. There is always at least one person that plays an instrument in a way I havent heard before. I think, wow, I built that thing, but didnt know it could produce that sound, Mr. Kotzen said. Its fun to watch people explore. The artists will come together in another improvisational jam session for the closing of the exhibit on Saturday, January 26, at 5 p.m. All are invited to come take part in that jam session or in one of their own during gallery hours throughout January.

Creating lifelong memories during my visit to India

by Chris Oakley
[Editors note: COURIER Sports Reporter Chris Oakley took most of December off to travel to India for a friends wedding. We missed his jovial spirit in the office, but are thrilled he agreed to share his travel experience with us here. KathrynDunn]
VIEWPOINT
received an invitation for the trip of a lifetime last summer, when my Northwestern University friend Shanik Patel announced he was engaged to be married in December of 2012. Although he and his now-wife Hiral live in the United States, the wedding was to be held in Rajasthan, India. I did not need to be asked twice to go. What better way is there to cap off my final semester at Claremont Graduate University than a destination wedding?
I decided to block out 3 weeks for the trip. The wedding was only 2 days, but I wanted to see more of the country and meet with some CGU friends that live in cities around India.I set off with what was left of my diminishing cash supply for the mystical land of precious metals, no driving laws and a billion people. The journey started in Mumbai, formerly Bombay. I was told most of the cities names were changed following the British relinquishing of their Indian empire. I was treated to unbelievably cheap street-side shopping and, although Indians have been complaining about rising prices, my friends and I found deals all over the place for watches, fabrics and marble carvings. Next on the ticket was the beachside paradise Goa, previously a Portuguese colony. Even in winter, Goa felt like a southern California summer. I swam in the ocean and played soccer in the sand with both locals and European tourists in between naps on my chaise lounge. After 3 days of soaking up the sun, I went to a hotel Christmas gala. The Indian take on Christmas involved no trees and much more dancing than I was used to, as was the theme for most celebrations in the country. At least 10 of my closest Northwestern friends all flew in for the wedding. The Sangeet, or reception, was in the courtyard of a lakeside castle in Udaipur, Rajasthan. Over 200 people attended the events. I gave a toast to the couple once everyone was seated, as did a number of others, and then the real festivities began. Entertainment consisted of choreographed dances to traditional music that told the story of Shanik and Hirals courtship in the manner of a Bollywood music video. Next followed dinner, cocktails and about 5 hours of dancing, during which I pulled an abdominal muscle. The next morning was the Haldi ceremony. Traditionally, at this point, the bride and groom have not met. The ceremony consisted of each individual

having yellow turmeric paste rubbed all over their face and limbs, as the substance is known to give the skin a glowing appearance for the wedding later that night. The final act of the wedding took place in Jagmandir Palace complex. Guests welcomed the groom as he arrived at the location in a horse-drawn carriage to a chorus of drum patterns, then jumped on boats and motored to the other side of Lake Pichola where the palace sits. The ceremony lasted about 4 hours, culminating in the Saptapadi. This ritual called for the couple to solidify the vows they each made to each other by walking around the Holy Fire 7 times, during which the bride begins leading the circuits and then switches to the groom. After the wedding most people went home, but a few of my friends stuck around to tour more cities with me. I saw the breathtaking Taj Mahal, built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan for his third wife in the 17th century. Just as beautiful and ostentatious
is Akshardham in Delhi, which was constructed by 10,000 workers and artisans and pays homage to the history of India. I then traveled with the help of a lovely guide to cities in south India, known for its more conservative culture and incredibly spicy food. Not everything was rosy in India. I was taken aback by the amount of pollution and soot kicked up by the millions of diesel vehicles in each city. The notion of a smog check is unheard of there, and I will forever scoff at people who say that Los Angeles traffic and smog are bad. Out of nowhere, it seems, cases of brutal gang rape violence have come to light all over the northern parts of India. I could not open an Indian newspaper or watch a television program without being reminded of the horrible crimes that were happening to women and young girls, and the outrage from Indian protestors demanding stricter punishment for the perpetrators. Finally, the income disparity in India is enormous. Indias economy ranks third largest in the world in terms of purchasing power parity, and grew almost 7 percent in fiscal year 2012. However, over 30 percent of Indias population lives below the poverty line (UNDP 2010). By 2015, Indias poverty rate will decrease by half of what it was in 1990 (Development Goals 2011). I consider myself extremely lucky to have had the opportunity to visit such a beautiful country. In between the 18-hour flights to and from India, I saw 8 separate cities, ate many distinct cuisines and spent time with people from a few of my different social circles. Nevertheless, it was cathartic to return to my hometown of Claremont after a long and exhausting trip. In memory of Jose Suarez, CGU Drucker student and friend to many.

Spending is the problem

Dear Editor: Bob Gerecke ("A piece of the pie," COURIER, January 9) correctly notes that our economy is struggling on many fronts. But the economys chronic economic problem is not the weakening ability of consumers to spend. He, like most politicians these days, is caught up in the Keynesian mindset that is at the root of all our problems: the belief that spending is what drives the economy, and that government can make better decisions about how to spend our money than we can ourselves. The federal government has been on a spending binge since September 2008, in the belief that this would boost the economy, but it has only made things worse. In the process we have borrowed over $5.7 trillion, doubling our national debt, in what amounts to a painful and very costly lesson in the failings of Keynesian economics. To make things worse, Washington is on track to borrow almost one trillion more this year, and only a handful of politicians dare speak of the gigantic unfunded liabilities that await us unless we reform entitlement programs and introduce market-based incentives to

our healthcare system. As Mr. Gerecke also notes, austerity is now the only answer. He argues that we must take more from the rich so that the great middle class can continue to spend. Not only is that the wrong approach, but the math just doesnt work; no amount of taxation can fill the hole weve dug ourselves into. Its past time to recognize that we can only spend what we produce, and our economy can produce more only if government spends less. We need less government spending and less redistribution of income if we are to prosper. Middle class spending is not the backbone of our economy, as he asserts. The strength of our economy can be found in its savers, investors, risktakers, entrepreneurs and inventors in those who work hard, not those who spend other peoples money. Our government needs to abandon the absurd notion that we can spend our way to prosperity. Its time for government to get out of the way and give the private sector a chance.

Discrimination against women

Dear Editor: The League of Women Voters urges all interested citizens to write our US Senators to ask them to make ratification of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) a priority for the United States Senate in the 113th session of Congress. The record-breaking number of women who will serve in the 113th Congress lends significant momentum for the United States to increase its global leadership role on womens rights issues. Twenty female Senators will either return to or take office in the Senatea truly historic accomplishment. CEDAW is a landmark international agreement that affirms principles of fundamental human rights and equality for women around the world. It is a practical blueprint for each country to achieve progress for women and girls. CEDAW is already making a difference for women and girls worldwide, specifically by strengthening civil so-
ciety's efforts to persuade governments to respect womens human rights and adopt policies to reduce sex trafficking and domestic violence, provide access to education and vocational training, ensure the right to vote, end forced and child marriages, secure inheritance rights and ensure the right to work and own a business without discrimination. Ratification of CEDAW would strengthen the United States standing as a global leader in standing up for women and girls. To date, the United States is one of only 7 countries that have not yet ratified CEDAW. It is essential that the US ratify CEDAW and continue to play a leadership role in advancing womens and girls rights globally. Call on our US Senators to advance womens human rights, not just for women in the United States but for all women worldwide, by ratifying this convention now.

Claremonters stay connected on Facebook

Adam Cusic of Claremont is seen here with a 2001 photograph of him and his classmates at Chaparral Elementary School. Mr. Cusic, now 18 and a physics major at the University of La Verne, said he distinctly remembers the photo running in the COURIER when he was a first grader at Chaparral. Mr. Cusics mother, Kris Cusic, also of Claremont, contacted the COURIER after hearing from a friend on Facebook that the image was to be given away to the first subscriber to name a face among the kids. Ms. Cusic noted that our late publisher Martin Weinberger had cropped out the child on the far left for print. It was a curious decision considering he loved the image so much he had it blown up to a 5foot-by-4-foot poster for the office. But, as those who knew him can attest, Martin Weinberger had a knack for the unexpected. Weve got a few more posters to donate to readers during our office redecorating, so stay tuned.

Reverend Doctor MaryEllen Kilsby

Her cup overflowed
When MaryEllen Kilsby was given the opportunity to accept her first job as a senior minister, longtime Claremont family friend Kay Held encouraged her, Do what you do best, MaryEllen: Love them. I do think Ive operated, lived my life and made choices with my heart, Rev. Kilsby said. She did just that, with a contagious warmth and compassion that seemed to have no limit, according to friends and family. She lit a campfire in your heart, friend and former youth group member George Waters shared. Somewhere now, she is making God laugh and pointing down at certain parts of the world, saying, How about there? They could use some help. Rev. Kilsby died at the age of 78 on January 4, 2013 at the Pilgrim Place Health Center in Claremont, surrounded by her family. Rev. Kilsby was born in 1934 to Lester and Mary Green and grew up in Los Angeles. She came to Claremont to study at Pomona College, where she earned Bachelors degrees in sociology and religion, attaining membership in Phi Beta Kappa and graduating cum laude. Unlike many of her classmates, biblical scholarship became exciting to me, she said. Church had been a regular part of the childhood of Rev. Kilsby, who grew up attending Hollywoods First Methodist Church with her parents. Rev. Kilsbys mother had led church and camp groups, using her education and talents to encourage other young women. Her mentorship made an impression on Rev. Kilsby, setting an important example and fostering her own religious inclinations. It was the church that gave my mother the chance to use her mind, she said. While she was a student at Pomona College, the faculty selected her for the unique honor of preaching to fellow students in a College Tuesday Chapel Service, recognizing her emerging talents as a speaker. She titled her first sermon Sitting on Top of the World, urging her classmates to care about the rest of humanity. In Claremont, her relationship with a fellow Pomona student, Graham Perry Bud Kilsby, blossomed. Since they grew up in the same Los Angeles neighborhood, she often caught weekend rides home with him. She was intrigued and fascinated by him, but thought Mr. Kilsby was far too racy. They quickly became sweethearts as Buds softer side was discovered. They wed in February of 1956, and their daughter Kathy was born a year later. Three more children, Richard, Christi and Robin, followed in the next 5and-a-half years. When a Claremont friend suggested the couple join the brand-new Methodist Church meeting at Sycamore Elementary School, the Kilsbys began leading Claremont Methodist Church youth groups together. Bud and I jumped in with both feet, Rev. Kilsby recalled. He did the sports and games. I did the curriculum. They made an outstanding team and were struck by the lesson they learned from the experience: We are not the center of the universe. This message would become a strong theme in Rev. Kilsbys evolving theology. They always seemed to me to represent the ideal couple. In some ways, they were very different from each other, and yet totally one, said longtime friend Dr. John B. Cobb, Jr., a professor emeritus at Claremont School of Theology. Its an inspiration to see people who, year after year, grow together, work together and support each other. The way he supported her as a minister was a marvel. After graduation, Mr. Kilsby became involved in his familys steel business. He encouraged his wife to pursue a direction that was becoming increasingly important to herattending the seminary. Rev. Kilsby received her masters degree and a Doctorate of Ministry, with honors, from the Claremont School of Theology. She was the first woman to receive the Wilshire Preaching Award, given each year to a graduating senior. Rev. Kilsby was also involved in the broader Claremont community. In 1970, she was elected to the Claremont Unified School Board and served for 8 years, 2 of them as president. It was a very interesting time. I was raised in an era to please, Rev. Kilsby related. You cant please everyone when you are on the school board. Despite such challenges, Rev. Kilsby felt the experience made her a stronger person and a better preacher. She became known for her excellent sermons, which frequently tackled difficult subjects and were often considered controversial. In 1975, Rev. Kilsby was ordained by the United Methodist Church, and began working in Christian education, but she changed course at the urging of a dear friend, Joe Hough, an associate minister, who entreated her, I know what a good Methodist you are, but we really need you! Unable to say no, she became the Christian Educator at the Claremont United Church of Christ, UCC, leaving the Methodist Church. This decision allowed her to remain a resident of Claremont, raising her children in a city she had come to love. A few years later, in 1978, Senior Minister David Held offered Rev. Kilsby a UCC ordination. One of her first sermons was titled, Ripe Fruit/Sour Grapes, speaking out against the anti-gay views espoused by the singer Anita Bryant. Although a number of people walked out, this remained one of her passionate callings throughout her ministry. In 1983, Altadena UCC called Rev. Kilsby to lead them for the next 5 years as their minister, a post in which she became a pioneer. She rallied the congregation to become Open and Affirming to the gay and lesbian, bi-sexual and transgender community (LGBT). With Rev. Kilsbys leadership, this small neighborhood congregation would become the fourth church in the nation to open its arms to the LGBT community. After a long love affair with Claremont, the Kils-
OBITUARIES
bys were given the opportunity to support yet another congregation who needed them. In 1987, Long Beach had the courage to call Rev. Kilsby to be the first woman senior minister of a multi-staff, 1,000person church in the National UCC. Rev. Kilsby would serve there for the next 12 years, leading the church to become Open and Affirming LGBT friendly. When she retired in 1999, she became the minister emerita. In her retirement, Rev. Kilsby enjoyed traveling the world with her husband and became more involved in the greater Long Beach community. Mr. Kilsby died from lung cancer on February 1, 2009 at Long Beach Memorial Hospital at age 75. Always an active community leader, Rev. Kilsby served in various capacities with the Girl Scouts, Soroptimists, League of Women Voters, the American Association of University Women, AIDS Walk Long Beach, the Public Corporation for the Arts and the National Conference of Christians and Jews. Rev. Kilsby discovered a second passion for philanthropy through her support of Pomona College and organizations like the Long Beach Museum of Art and the Claremont School of Theology. She served on the board of directors for the Long Beach Opera and the Arts Council of Long Beach. She was on the Sage Council of the South Coast Interfaith Council and the advisory board for the Carpenter Center and was active in various other support groups for the arts. She also helped endow the Kilsby Family/John B. Cobb Jr. Chair in Process Studies. In her life, Rev. Kilsby was grateful to her husband, for being the wind beneath my wings. She was grateful to her children, who all are people of conscience and spread this to the families of their own. She was also appreciative of all her friends, whom she said supported her every day of her life. MaryEllen loved with a passionshe loved with her whole heart, family shared. She truly lived life to the fullest and will be missed by many. Rev. Kilsby is survived by her children, Kathy Kilsby of Claremont, Richard Kilsby of Lake Oswego, Oregon, Christi Kilsby Norton of Lafayette and Robin Kilsby Fitchett of Encinitas. She also leaves 11 grandchildren, her extended family and many friends. Two memorial services will be held for Rev. Kilsby. The first will be at the First Congregational Church of Long Beach at 2 p.m. on Saturday, January 19. The second will be held at the Claremont United Church of Christ, 233 W. Harrison Ave. in Claremont, on Sunday, January 20 at 4 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Rev. MaryEllen Kilsbys name to the Girl Scouts of America or the America Lung Association.

Margaret Paul Scott

Margaret Paul Scott, a former Claremont resident with deep Inland Valley roots, died peacefully on January 7, 2012. She was 94. Mrs. Scott was born in 1918 to Earl Wheeler Paul and Nellie Rugg Paul, early founders of the city of Upland. The only hospital in the city, San Antonio Hospital, was severely overcrowded at the time, so she was born in Los Angeles. Later, Mrs. Scotts great-grandmother, Frances Mary Paul, donated $75,000 toward the construction of a new, significantly larger San Antonio Community Hospital, which opened its doors in 1924. Mrs. Scott was attending Pomona College when she met her future husband, Wayne Wheeler Scott, a fellow Pomona student. Among the many jobs he took to pay his way through school, Mr. Scott served as an usher at Bridges Auditorium and it was at Bridges that he asked Mrs. Scott to be his wife. They were married on May 5, 1940, soon after graduating. Mr. Scott left almost immediately afterward for the military, serving as a captain in the Army in the Pacific Theatre during World War II. Upon his return, the couple moved to Santa Monica, where Mr. Scott and his brother founded Scott & Scott Incorpo-
OBITUARIES
the Southern Division and Secretary of the National Federation of Republican Women. She was also a campaign coordinator for President Reagans California volunteer program and was later appointed by President Reagan to the Peace Corps Commission. She remained active in Republican organizations until the end of her life. Mrs. Scott also had a passion for culture, celebrating the beauty of life. She felt strongly about supporting the performing arts, and regularly attended LA Philharmonic and Candlelight Pavilion performances. She also enjoyed interior design and gardening. She lived independently to the end, maintaining her beautiful home and tending her garden at age 94. Known for her energy, strength of character and independence, she lived and died with grace, faith in God and devotion to family, her daughters said. Mrs. Scott loved her 4 grandchildren unconditionally, passing on the importance of family and community and inspiring them to become responsible citizens, according to family. We are all honored to be related to her, and we are grateful for the life example she has set for us all, Mrs. Scotts daughter, Deborah Scott-Toux, shared. Mrs. Scott was preceded in death by her husband, Wayne Wheeler Scott, in 2002; by her sister, Francis Paul Randau, in 2010 and by her son, James Paul Scott, in 2012. She is survived by her daughters, Susan Paul Scott of Sacramento and Deborah Scott-Toux of Claremont; by her daughter-in-law, Susan Notrica Scott; by 4 grandchildren, Sean Paul Scott, Lisa Danielle Scott, Christopher William Toux and Alexander Scott Toux, and by several nieces and nephews. A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, January 23. Those interested may contact the family. Donations in Mrs. Scotts memory may be made to the San Antonio Hospital Foundation, Pomona First Baptist Church or the Salvation Army.

rated, a printing and lithography business. The Scotts later resided in Pacific Palisades. They moved back to Claremont in 1999 to be closer to family. Mrs. Scott was considered the matriarch of the Scott family. She loved hosting big family celebrations as well as bridge parties. Mr. and Mrs. Scott were also involved in politics, beginning with the Eisenhower campaign of 1952. Mrs. Scott later became active in the Republican Women Federated, serving as president of local clubs, president of
Frank A. Morelli
Frank Morelli, a longtime Claremont resident, died on November 16, 2012. He was 90. Mr. Morelli was born in Chicago, and earned his degree from the University of Illinois. He served as a surgical technician in World War II, assisting in field hospitals on fronts in Europe. Following the war, Mr. Morelli worked for National Institute of Health (NIH) in Maryland. In 1962, he joined Jet Propulsion Laboratories in California, working as a bioscience lab manager. He produced major studies that aided space exploration on Mars. In 1974, Mr. Morelli traveled to Antarctica with a group of scientists. His projects and research were groundbreaking and are still relevant today. He was credited with discovering the oldest living organism in the South Pole at that point in time. A vast ridge in Antarctica that extends from Hoehn Peak into the upper part of Bartley Glacier is named Morelli Ridge in his honor. The Morellis were Claremont residents from 1966 to 2012. Mr. Morelli was an active parishioner at St. Ambrose Episcopal Church, serving on vestry, as an usher, in the kitchen helping to clean up after potlucks and standing at the top of a ladder decorating the nave or parish hall for events. He always made people feel comfortable and was a friend to all. In his retirement years, Mr. Morelli spent time learning, reading, traveling and tinkering.
Microbiologist, husband, friend to all
Mr. Morelli celebrated his 90th birthday in August, with family and friends in Escondido, where he and his wife Ann lived. He is survived by his wife, Ann, of 62 years; by his sons and daughters-inlaw, John and Jean Morelli, David and Amber Morelli and Tim and Liza Morelli; by his daughters and sons-inlaw, Judy and Bill Shagena and Ellen and Rick Gruber; by 7 grandchildren, Emily Ann, Eric, Megan, Allyson, Matthew, Katie and Garrett; by his sister Marie Harte and by his nephew Leonard Petrocilli and former daughter-in-law Melissa Foster.

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. Notice is hereby given that RECONTRUST COMPANY, N.A., as duly appointed trustee pursuant to the Deed of Trust executed by RENEE B. MARTINEZ AND SONJA B. MARTINEZ, HUSBAND AND WIFE, AS JOINT TENANTS, dated 09/09/2005 and recorded 9/20/2005, as Instrument No. 05 2260716, in Book , Page , of Official Records in the office of the County Recorder of Los Angeles County, State of California, will sell on 02/11/2013 at 9:00AM, Doubletree Hotel Los Angeles-Norwalk, 13111 Sycamore Drive, Norwalk, CA 90650, Vineyard Ballroom at public auction, to the highest bidder for cash or check as described below, payable in full at time of sale, all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust, in the property situated in said County and State and as more fully described in the above referenced Deed of Trust. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 273 SOUTH ROCK RIVER ROAD, DIAMOND BAR, CA, 91765. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. The total amount of the unpaid balance with interest thereon of the obligation secured by the property to be sold plus reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is $338,904.63. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept cashier's checks 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 Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state. Said sale will be made, in an ''AS IS'' condition, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Deed of Trust, advances thereunder, with interest as provided, and the unpaid principal of the Note secured by said Deed of Trust with interest thereon as provided in said Note, plus fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. If required by the provisions of section 2923.5 of the California Civil Code, the declaration from the mortgagee, beneficiary or authorized agent is attached to the Notice of Trustee's Sale duly recorded with the appropriate County Recorder's Office. 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 a 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 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 1800-281-8219 or visit this Internet Web site www.recontrustco.com, using the file number assigned to this case TS No. 11-0124166. 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.
