n Wednesday, January 23, City Manager Tony Ramos traveled with Finance Director Adam Pirrie, Community Development Director Brian Desatnik and Successor Agency Counsel Tom Clark to Sacramento to meet with the California Department of Finance (DOF).
The purpose of the meeting was to challenge the DOF determination that property located at Base Line Road and Towne Avenue, currently the subject of a purchase agreement with City Ventures, LLC, is not considered a housing asset. According to the DOF, the property should be subject to disposition and proceeds should be turned over to Los Angeles County for distribution to taxing entities pursuant to Assembly Bills 26 and 1484. These bills prescribe the procedures for the wind-down of redevelopment agencies in California and redistribution of former redevelopment agency tax increment revenues. According to the legislation, former

redevelopment agency housing assets are to be retained by the city if it elected to serve as the successor in performing the low- and moderate-income housing functions of the former redevelopment agency. The city adopted a resolution to do so in January 2012. Staff and Successor Agency counsel believe the citys arguments against the DOF determination have a sound legal basis and are confident that the information presented to DOF staff will result in a reversal of the determination. Should the determination not be reversed, it is likely that a lawsuit would follow. In July 2012, the Planning Commission conducted a preliminary review of a proposed development on the 6.2-acre site, which includes The Strawberry Patch. City Ventures LLC proposed a mixed-use residential community, which would consist of a total of 98 townhomes and 3 live-work townhomes. The developer was directed by the commission to refine the proposal to address environmental impacts, planning standards and design concerns. The COURIER will look further into the issue in an upcoming edition.

7-Eleven determined to build store near the Colleges
laremonters may have said no to 7-Eleven on the citys portion of Foothill Boulevard, but it hasnt stopped the Big Gulps from coming close to town. Upland is moving forward with plans to build the convenience store known for its soft drinks and Slurpees at Monte Vista Avenue and Arrow Route in the College Park Retail Center, as noted by David Allen of the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin. Located just a mile or so down the road from where a similar store was proposed in Claremont, the Upland venture is expected to open this spring. While Claremont residents said no to the perceived risks that would come along with the store, Upland said yes to the opportunity to generating more money despite what some view as a liquor store overload in Claremonts neighbor city. Its revenue for the city, and by golly we all know we need the revenue, said Upland Councilwoman Debbie Stone in late December. Claremont residents banded together in the spring of 2010 in a notable display of opposition against a 7-Eleven store filling vacant space on the corner of Foothill and Mills Avenue. Among arguments against the store was the possibility of increased crime, littering and the sale of alcohol close to the Colleges. Being so close to this proposed site thats going to be open 24/7, I find it to be a great security risk, Claremont resident Mark Ingalls told the Planning Commission at the meeting where they denied 7-
Eleven a city permit. In the summer evenings in the wonderful climate in which we live, we like to sleep with the windows open. I think Ill have to change our habits on that. I dont think Ill feel safe doing that anymore. Not all were on the same page. Claremont Graduate School student Dane Sawyer believed it would be a great place to go in between classes for a quick meal, noting that concerns about safety or alcohol consumption were misplaced. There are already several areas we can get alcohol in Claremont and to think that one additional place will suddenly bolster some ridiculous amount of alcohol consumption is just very, very farfetched, Mr. Sawyer said. Monica Krueger, a representative for 7-Eleven, said the convenience store could bring in between $12,000 and $21,000 in annual sales tax revenue to the city. It would also create between 8 to 15 new jobs. But the planning commission opted to deny the permit in the face of overwhelming dissent. Community forums with the company and the neighborhood along with an appeal did nothing to change that decision and 7-Eleven pulled out. The nearby 7-Eleven will join more than 5 other convenience and liquor stores located just outside Claremonts borders on the busy, historic thoroughfare. Beth Hartnett

City discusses future of longtime city engineer
raig Bradshaw, city engineer for the city of Claremont for the past 25 years, is on administrative leave, city officials confirmed on Friday. Further details and the length of his leave have not been released. The confirmation was made a few days after the Claremont City Council met in closed session to discuss the potential discipline/termination of a public employee on Tuesday. Mr. Bradshaw was hired as Claremonts city engineer in 1994 after serving as an associate civil engineer the previous 6 years. Before joining Claremont in 1988, Mr. Bradshaw was employed with Bechtel Engineering and Construction. He received his Bachelor of Science in civil engineering from Brigham Young University in 1981 before receiving a masters degree in the same subject with an emphasis on structural mechanics the following year. More will be published in a future edition of the COURIER as information becomes available.

The sky is the limit for young Claremont climber
welve-year-old Jakob Vanderaa is soaring to new heights, and not as a result of his practice with Claremont Youth Basketball, where the local athlete has been training as a point guard for the last several years.His latest venture has taken him significantly higher than any dunk in CYB history.
With the completion of a recent backpacking trip, Jakob became one of the youngest climbers to complete southern Californias trio of big peaksMt. Baldy, San Jacinto and San Gorgonio, which he completed over the holidays. Just 3 years after he began his climbing career, Jakobs grand total now comes to 103,619 feet of vertical climb, plus over 135 miles in the dust behind him. And this budding athlete is just getting started. Jakob continues to hits the trails, biking and hiking, in preparation for his next big climb. Assuming he is chosen from among the lottery of hopefuls selected next month, Jakob plans to take on Mt. Whitney, the continental United States highest summit at 14,505 feet, this summer. I just enjoy staying active, and spending time together [with my dad], Jakob said of his love for the sport. Climbing began as a joint effort, part of cherished father/son bonding time with dad and CYB coach Jim Vanderaa, who took his sons natural athleticismhis fathers a climber, his mother a fitness instructor at the Claremont Clubto a whole new level with a family climb to the peak of Mt. Baldy when Jakob turned 8. Im the one that pushed him into it. I figured as soon as he was old enough, I was going to try him, Mr. Vanderaa said. It was winter and the mountain was snow-capped and I was a little concerned, but man he went up that thing no problem. He was ready to do more. Slippery terrain at Devils Peak was no deterrent for the avid hiker following in dads footsteps. It was really cold, but it wasnt hard, Jakob insisted. That first climb was all it took. Jakob now has a collection of climbs in his repertoire. The list includes climbs up Humphreys Peak, the highest mountain in Arizona at 12,633 feet, a hike from the rim down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and back, Lembert Dome in Yosemite, Angels Landing in Utah, Mono Pass in the Sierra Nevada, Cathedral Rock in Sedona and a backpacking trip into the remote Needles district of Canyonlands National Park. Now that Jakob has found his footing, Mr. Vanderaa admits he is the one

struggling to keep up with his son. In a recent climb up the Grand Canyon, it was all business as Jakob hardly found the time to take a break in his eagerness to get to the top. We hiked out in 4 and a half hours, Jakob said. The ranger guidelines say it takes about 8 to 10 hours. We had in our head it would take that long, but he didnt stop. He never stops, Mr. Vanderaa laughed. We stopped once for water and a quick snack, otherwise it was go all the way. He wanted to do it, and it helped that I was carrying all the equipment in my backpack. Taking on the physical challenge of climbing has not always been so effortless. It takes a polished work ethic and when not studying, or admittedly taking a break from his schoolwork for a video game, Jakob regularly makes the climb up Claremonts Wilderness Loop or other nearby trails to get in needed training, along with engaging in practice with CYB or Little League. He acknowledges it takes a certain amount of learned composure, especially on peaks where the elevation makes the job difficult. Its rough, Jakob admitted, referencing his climb to the peak of San Gorgonio. Near the top, you really start to feel it. He has no problem in balancing the duties. Jakob has finessed the art of juggling school and activity, reaching a perfect 600 in math 3 years in a row

on the California Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) exams, a point his father is proud to point out. Jakobs next venture up Mt. Whitney, a strenuous venture that takes even the most skilled hikers 12-18 hours to complete, will take a considerable amount of practice and poise. His, father, who has climbed Whitney twice before, has not forgotten the difficulties of the last 2 miles of that climb. I was in good shape when I did
those mountains, but when you are that high, those last 2 miles are brutal, Mr. Vanderaa recalled. But for the young Claremont athlete, with his eyes set on one day climbing a certain famous peak in the Himalayas, consider it a challenge accepted. I like the feeling of making it to the top and seeing what I accomplished, Jakob said.

EDUCATION
Chinese art gives local students a brush with greatness
he Chinese philosopher Lao-Tzu once said, A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
A similar message of persistence that a masterpiece begins with a single brush strokecan be applied to art. With this in mind, Claremont Adult School instructor Phyllis Case Bennett has been teaching local students the ancient craft of Chinese brush painting for more than 30 years. Her specialty is bird-and-flower painting, a genre that covers every ilk of plant as well as birds, fish, insects and various small animals. She teaches students to paint fleeting moments in the natural worlda small bird perching on a stand of bamboo, or a butterfly flitting near the vermillion blossoms of a chrysanthemum. The philosophy is entirely different from that of western art, Ms. Bennett notes. Western art evolved from sculpture and murals, whereas Chinese brush painting evolved from Chinese calligraphy, which is done with ink. Whats important is the quality of the line. The same tools are used for Chinese calligraphy and brush painting: bamboo

brush, black ink, absorbent rice paper and calligraphy seals that can be dipped in red ink to stamp your name or the Chinese character for a unifying theme such as courage. Its hard to come by traditional Chinese watercolor paints in the United States, according to Ms. Bennett. If you understand the palette of colors used in Chinese brush painting, which is based on 8 basic hues, however, you can achieve a pleasing approximation. There is a meditative element as an artists brush pirouettes over the paper, but Ms. Bennett said Chinese brush painting is not about a spontaneous outpouring of self-expression. Everything you paint has a predetermined form. Beyond that, all painted subjects have a symbolism that were not always aware of, she said. The source of western art is personal inspiration, whereas theirs is a statement made through symbols. In Chinese painting, they might put 2 things together to create a statement, Ms. Bennett continued. A subject like a plum blossom, which is the first flower to bloom, has the symbolism of being the first sign of spring, offering the promise of a bright season. Ms. Bennett, who still enjoys painting western-style watercolors, didnt always look eastward for artistic inspiration. She earned a bachelors degree in art at UC Santa Barbara, and studied with well-known local artists Rex Brandt, Robert Wood and Millard Sheets. Then, in the 1980s, she began taking a Chinese brush painting class from Dr. Ning-Yeh, who split his time between teaching social studies at the Claremont Graduate University and Chinese brush painting at Claremont Adult School. I was curious about the Asian style of painting. I learned a lot that first year, she recalled. After about 5 years, Dr. Ning-Yeh talked to Ms. Bennett. He was moving away, and thought she should take over his Chinese brush painting course. With some trepidation, she took over the class in 1983, quitting her day job as a medical assistant. She began poring through books on Chinese brush painting, immersing herself in a course of self-study. China had opened up to western visitors for the

first time in 1978 and so, in 1985, she took a group of students on a visit to Mainland China. Their tour included a stop at the China Art Academy in Hangzhou, China. After that, Ms. Bennett and her students began traveling annually to China, and she had the opportunity to study at the academy. The masters there were not used to seeing a western artist who was accomplished in Chinese brush painting and did not initially believe that Ms. Bennett had painted the samples she showed them on her own. She had to prove herself by creating a painting on the spot. After that, Ms. Bennett, who has now been to China some 30 times, was treated as a peer. About 18 students are enrolled in the current session of Ms. Bennetts Chinese brush painting class. They gather each Wednesday for a 3-hour session in a large classroom in the district maintenance yard. The students watch Ms. Bennett create pictures, expounding on their meaning and on the characteristics of the natural world, and then try their own hand at creating an evocative scene. We consider it a pest, Ms. Bennett said last Wednesday while painting several bamboo stalks. The Chinese consider it a positive element that bamboo
doesnt go awayit always goes forward. Its so supple. It can survive the biggest windstorm, even a typhoon. All of Ms. Bennetts current students are women. Ask Bernadette Petropoulos, a La Verne resident who has taken the Chinese brush painting class for about 8 years, why and she jokes that men are not patient enough. They want instant results, Ms. Petropoulos said. They like to fix things. Traditional Chinese culture is not about instant gratification, Ms. Bennett emphasized. While she is now skilled enough to create an eloquent painting in a manner of minutes, she herself has much more to learn. In art in general, and its true in brush painting, youre always expanding your subject matter and learning something new, she said. Because she isnt Chinese, Ms. Bennett feels comfortable occasionally veering from traditional subject matter in her brush paintings. Ive done oleander, geraniums and beaver-tail cactus because were familiar with that, and because Im an American and have this curiosity about things. First, though, a student must learn the

Safe Routes to School: The Safe Routes to School program teaches safe pedestrian and cycling habits to elementary and intermediate school children in the Claremont Unified School District. Before this program started, nearly 80 percent of our students were being driven to school, which contributes to traffic congestion, unsafe streets and teaching them, by example, that they should use cars even for short trips. Recall that a childs first bicycle is his or her first vehicle and the skills required include both handling the machine and proper driving behavior. By the end of this school year, we plan to complete the first sessions of classroom and school yard training at nearly all of the districts elementary and junior high school sites.

Bill of Needs?
Dear Editor: Fortunately, it is the Bill of Rights, not the Bill of Needs as Defined by People That Believe You Should Have a Nanny Because They Dont like Your Choices. Messrs. Ring, Byrum and Levering argue for public safety as they and their fellow gun-control advocates envision it ought to be (whatever that is). Their hamster-wheel approach to common sense restrictionson a rightis dangerous to those people that do not see their light. They advocate that normal citizens are not trustworthy with the firearms that they are trying to demonize (their schemes always exempt special citizensthe police). While I am sure they dont see themselves as bigots nor subscribe to the intent of the original legislation of keeping firearms out of the hands of blacks, the unintended consequence of
READERS COMMENTS
their myopic promotion of registration/taxation/permissionfor a rightalways drives the cost of personal protection beyond the means of poor people. Gun-control advocates dont mind this particular right being controlled by the whim of politicians who think like them. Politicians who will do or say anything to stay in office will get to decide if your reason for owning and/or carrying jibes with their vote potential. Just look at who gets permission to own or carry a firearm in New Orleans after Katrina, New York, Washington DC, Chicago, Los Angeles or San Franciscoonly those that are connected. What the tired, knee-jerk, non-thinking arguments dont include is reality: the estimated one million times a year that this particular right is used for protection. That government/police do not have a duty to protect you personally (US Supreme Court ruling). That 9 minutes is considered a good nation-wide response time for emergency services (thank God, the response time in Claremont is fantastic). That the CDC, Department of Justice and all competent evaluations/studies of weapons bans conclude that bans do not work to reduce crime (they only work to expand government). That the only difference between a citizen and a cop is the power to arrest on suspicion. That Dianne Feinstein, the Los Angeles Times, and a slew of politicians and people really do not trust others to have the freedom of choice to think and act differently, and that they do, indeed, want to confiscate private property. That elitists play by a different set of
rules and just wait for a tragedy to move their agenda of trying to control your choices. While the 3 gentlemen may be sincere in their belief in public safety, their beliefs and arguments are made up of a fabric of lies and emotionalism that cannot further individuals or this nation. Gosh, if you are a cop (or can carry a cop in your back pocket), a politician, or rich, you may get into the club and you wont have to worry. If you are poor, honest, or try to do the right thing, you get to be part of the flock.

CHS girls shut-down defense leads team to 47-43 win
he Claremont Wolfpack boys and girls basketball teams featured in a home double-header against the South Hills Huskies on Friday evening. Both Wolfpack sides endured cagey starts, and strong second-half performances brought each team the victory in front of a fired-up audience. The Lady Wolfpack played first, and showed a commitment to defense throughout the game. The Huskies came into town on the back of a narrow victory over Chino Hills 2 days before, and looking to repeat the 24-point win they scored over Claremont less than a month ago. Claremont turned the tide by halftime, shutting down the Huskies inside game and holding out for a 47-43 victory. Claremont lost by 19 points to first-place Ayala last Wednesday. We made a number of defensive changes for this game. We defended well as a group and played patient basketball, Coach Darryl Kennedy said. The Pack pressed the Huskies up the full length of
the court from the first possession. Claremonts offense came to life when guard Jessica Abrolat scored with a layup. A few minutes later, Abrolat cut in the lane and fed Danna Robles for an easy finish. However, Claremont defenders were struggling to deal with Huskies forward Imani Payton, and she and Sarah Madrigal kept South Hills offense going with dribble penetration and high-percentage shooting. In the second quarter, Claremont kept up the full court pressure. The Wolfpack forced turnovers and increased their offense. Katie Porter came off the bench midway through the period and swished a couple of midrange jumpers, while Emeril Ruiz sank Claremonts only 3-pointer of the game. Fouls were still a concern, nevertheless, as both Robles and shot blocker Kegee Limbe had to be substituted before the half. Claremont came out for the third quarter down one point, and began to assert its dominance underneath the basket. Both Limbe and Melissa Oei blocked
Huskies shots. Oei then drove inside and scored with a layup, while Robles scored 2 baskets, cleaning up her teammates missed shots and tipping them back in. With the Wolfpack leading by 2 points, the fourth quarter proved to be a choppy period. South Hills tied the score at 39 with 6 minutes remaining. Then, Kaya Brandls block set up Abrolats fast break and dish to Oei, who finished inside to break the tie. Abrolat earned top-performer honors in the next few exchanges. She drew a charge on South Hills Madrigal, then stole the ball down low and passed ahead for a streaking Porter to finish. The Huskies kept it close, and South Hills guards Brittany Wang and Desirae Merjil showed their range with timely 3-point shooting. The Wolfpack produced a resolute stop on defense with the clock winding down. Abrolat blocked the Huskies Payton down

Glover then added a jumper from the free throw line, as he finished the game 9 for 13 shooting from the field. Midway through the second quarter, South Hills turned the tables and established a 3 point lead of their own. In the few minutes before halftime, Claremont guard Brandon Brown helped erase that deficit. Brown picked up the ball and drove inside, laying up and in for 2 of his 11 points on the night. Brown then dished inside to Max Allen, who finished in traffic to regain Claremonts lead. The Wolfpack went into the half up 30-28. Claremonts offense continued to click throughout the second half. Brown scored 2 more buckets on drives inside, and the Wolfpack began to dominate the boards.

Claremont came into the game having beaten Ayala by 24 points last Wednesday. Meanwhile, South Hills were taken apart defensively by unbeaten Chino Hills in their last game. In their most recent encounter, the Wolfpack handled the Huskies 70-37, so its fair to say they were heavy favorites. The nature of the game during the first quarter belied recent trends. South Hills came out strong and played to their strengths.

Abrolat finished with 15 points, 3 blocks and 7 assists, and Robles had 12 points and 7 boards. Coach Kennedy was especially pleased with his teams inside players. Danna and Kegee played extremely well, considering they were each in foul trouble for most of the game, Kennedy said. That was the first time this season anyone on our team has drawn a charge. Claremont now sits in fourth place in the Sierra League with a 2-4 conference record. The Wolfpack take on the St. Lucys Regents on the road this afternoon, Wednesday, January 30 at 4:45 p.m., St. Lucys recently suffered a heavy loss to Ayala, and are winless in league play. Then, on Friday, February 1 at 4:45 p.m. Claremont hosts Chino Hills. This game will likely be more of a challenge, as Chino Hills are currently second in league. After this week, there are only 2 more regular season games.

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 www.ndscorp.com/sales, using the file number assigned to this case 12-32780-JP-CA.
