After a two-week delay, the council lent its unanimous approval to a final environmental study relating to CITY the possible water system purchase. The report COUNCIL was discussed at length at the councils last meeting in March, with the citys legal team asserting that the water system purchase would have no significant environmental impacts. Despite these findings, the council opted to hold off on a decision in order to respond to concerns voiced by Golden State Water. The water company asserts that the report is inadequate and incomplete and was conducted out of order. Filing an environmental impact report before the city has identified a water system operator is backwards, said Brian LeRoy, an environmental lawyer who spoke on behalf of Golden State. City attorneys refute their claims. We do not believe it triggers recirculation or any additional environmental review at this time, said Michelle Ouellette, an environmental law attorney for the city of Claremont. Ellen Taylor of the League of Women Voters, who has been studying the water issue for many years, said she was pleased with the councils thoroughness and progress. Though council members in the past have opted out of buying the water system, Ms. Taylor said she is encouraged to see the council moving forward. Please push on and dont get sidetracked again, she said. Plans for preserving local wilderness Just as water rates weigh heavy on the minds of Claremont residents, so does the protection of the local mountainscape. Following the water discussion, the council took a look at legislation that aims to balance recreation and preservation. More than 37 percent of the local hillside is currently protected as open space, including the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park. Local Congresswoman Judy Chu looks to add to that percentage with three new bills protecting more than 60,000 acres of the San Gabriel Mountains under the National Park Service.

The recommendation stems from a study conducted by the National Park Service (NPS). In 2003, the US Congress directed the NPS to evaluate the possibility of establishing the San Gabriel Mountains as a National Recreation Area, which would create a joint partnership with the National Park Service, the National Forest Service and other parties interested in its care. While providing definite perks in terms of management and financing, the federal oversight has left some uneasy. Some of our greatest challenges here in Claremont have been the result of un-elected bodiesthe California Public Utilities Commission, the regional Water Quality Authority Board, sometimes the MTA, said Mayor Pro Tem Corey Calaycay, who also voiced his discomfort with putting any sort of public overlay over land that includes portions of private property. The dense and confusing legislation has only added to concerns. In 2012, the NPS established several alternatives based on its study, including the option to designate areas along the San Gabriel Mountains and adjacent foothills of the Angeles National Forest as one collective National Recreation Area. The Claremont City Council and many others supported this alternative, which they thought provided the most support to enCOUNCIL/continues on the next page

COUNCIL/from previous page
hance the environmental and recreational goals of the [National Recreation Area] without infringing upon local control. However, the park services final recommendation, released in April 2013, wiped that option from the list. The NPS removed the Angeles National Forest from the previously suggested recreation area, and instead proposes that the foothills and San Gabriel River be added to the already existing Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area much farther west. City officials were further concerned that the recommendation was inconsistent with feedback received. Congressmember Chu seeks to revive the original proposal. Though supportive of the concept of an NRA, Claremont officials remain hesitant about supporting some of the congresswomans other proposalsincluding labeling additional areas of the San Gabriel Mountains as National Wilderness Areas and Wild and Scenic Riversuntil more public feedback is received. Several individuals from a group dubbed San Gabriel Mountains Forever urged the council to reconsider its delay. The Sierra Club and San Gabriel Mountains Forever have worked with thousands of residents in the community who support all three designations, said George Sanchez-Tello, who noted that 95 percent of the 12,000 people who commented on the NPS study were supportive of the Wild and Scenic River designation. Its disingenuous to think that this has not been studied and that furthermore the public has not commented on this, he ccontinued. However, the council remained unconvinced. Councilmember Opanyi Nasiali and Mayor Pro Tem Corey Calaycay voted against all three proposals. The remaining councilmembers added their support to the concept of the NRA, while holding off on recommending the other two designations until further research could be conducted. I understand there has been a lot of public comment on this, but I think we need to proceed forward judiciously so we can come to a safe landing on this, said Councilmember Larry Schroeder.

Second public workshop for Foothill Boulevard plan

A second public workshop addressing the Foothill Boulevard Master Plan will take place on Thursday, April 17 at 7 p.m. in the Padua Room at the Hughes Center, 1700 Danbury Rd. The first workshop was held last month, with more than 50 people adding their input on design elements to be incorporated into different segments of the busy Claremont roadway. Proposed additions had included a traffic light at Berkeley Avenue to combat traffic in and out of the Old School House business complex; an expansion of the sidewalk and street trees on the north side of Foothill, between Colby Circle and Mountain Avenue; and added sidewalk, six-to-eight foot retaining wall and landscaping along the south side between Berkeley and Mountain. For more information or to add your comments to the Foothill Boulevard Master Plan, contact Senior Planner Christopher Veirs at (909) 399-5470.

Wednesday, April 2 The problems continue at Oak Park Cemetery. A bizarre scene greeted police on Tuesday, April 1: a bloody kitchen knife and decapitated rooster found underneath a tree in the south portion of the cemetery. On Wednesday, three gravestones were reported missing, each containing a bronze placard. Police are in the process of contacting families and compiling the cost of damages. There are no suspects. **** A Starbucks patron paid a hefty price for a cup of coffee on Wednesday afternoon. The guest stepped inside the establishment, located at 665 E. Foothill Blvd., and returned to find his laptop and backpack missing in action, allegedly taken by a Hispanic male and female. There are no leads. An estimated $720 in goods was stolen. Thursday, April 3 A 33-year-old Pomona mans afternoon nap came to an end in handcuffs. Richard Orcasitas had picked a very public resting place, the front of an apartment complex in the 900 block of West Arrow Highway, according to Lieutenant
POLICE BLOTTER
Mike Ciszek. Police located Mr. Orcasitas and quickly found the reason for his lethargy. Reportedly found under the influence and in possession of a controlled substance, Mr. Orcasitas spent the rest of his afternoon behind bars. Friday, April 4 An argument served as the catalyst for further troubles on Friday morning in the 100 block of San Jose Avenue. A Claremont girl was walking to school with her boyfriend when the pair began to argue. In the middle of the fight, the girl set down her purse and, momentarily forgetting about it, began to walk away. The mistake was quickly realized when a middle-aged man was spotted making off the bag. The crook is described as a heavy-set Hispanic male, 5 feet 10 inches tall and 235 pounds, with short dark hair. He was spotted getting into a late 80s or early 90s black Toyota pickup truck. Saturday, April 5 A new CD and DVD were likely not worth the fine that followed. Brandon Watkins, a 37-year-old Fontana resident and parolee, found himself back behind bars on Saturday afternoon after trying to cart off items from Rhino Records. He didnt get very far. Police found Mr. Watkins just down the street from the music store, where his troubles continued. Found walking along the train tracks, Mr. Watkins was not only arrested for petty theft with a prior, but also for trespassing in a Metro right of way, according to Lt. Ciszek. Mr. Watkins was transported to jail in downtown Los Angeles, where he awaits his hearing. Sunday, April 6 A crook is getting a start on spring cleaning by the looks of the loot stolen from El Roble Intermediate School, 665 N. Mountain Ave. The burglar broke into a maintenance room at the junior high and made off with Waxie cleaner, yellow latex gloves, a ladder and other miscellaneous items worth an estimated $115. There are no suspects.
Tuesday, April 8 A man on the run Tuesday afternoon, seen driving a stolen vehicle, didnt get very far. Police first spotted 44-year-old Glenn Davis, a Buena Park resident, driving near Scripps and Towne Avenues. Though he appeared to be compliant with officers, pulling over into the CVS parking lot on the corner of Towne Avenue and Foothill Boulevard, he was only stopping to trade modes of transportation. Mr. Davis got out of the car with a skateboard in tow and made off toward the apartment complex north of the pharmacy. His getaway was quickly cut short, however, when Mr. Davis jumped a wall and fell right on his head. Mr. Davis was transported to a local hospital for treatment before making his way to the city jail. In addition to the stolen vehicle, Mr. Davis was found with a large amount of methamphetamine. He was arrested for the stolen vehicle along with possession of a controlled substance with the intent to sell.
EDUCATION
CUSD budget shortfall could have layoff implications
embers of the Claremont Unified School District drew a round of applause from staff and faculty at last Thursdays school board meeting when they spent several minutes discussing how they might avoid giving pink slips to classified employees.
It began when the board was asked to take action on a human resources item, voting on whether or not to approve Resolution #11-2014: Reduction in ForceClassified Services. The resolution would grant the district permission to notify classified employees at various elementary school sites that they may be subject to a Reduction in Force (RIF). More bluntly put, a RIF is a layoff. The positions at stake included paraeducator II (instructional aide), computer instructional assistant and paraeducator III (instructional assistant). Even if an employee receives notice that their job is in jeopardy, it doesnt mean they will lose it. Potential layoffs would be effective the coming school year. Before the board launched into the action item, CUSD service center staffer Matt Plumb took to the podium. Speaking on behalf of the Claremont chapter of the California School Employees Association, he asked the district to refrain from the potential layoffs.
His entreaty emphasized that, with funding tight, classified employees have sacrificed much in recent years. They have seen very little in the way of raises, despite the rapidly escalating cost of living. Assistant Superintendent of Business Services Lisa Shoemaker explained the resolution was prompted by a surprise $40,000 mid-year cut in SCHOOL Title 1 funding, federal BOARD money allocated to schools with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. Title 1 schools in Claremont include Vista del Valle, Oakmont and Mountain View. Ms. Shoemaker only found out about the funding reduction, which comes in response to new census data, while she was working on a preliminary budget for the 2015-2016 school year. We were quite shocked, Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services Bonnie Bell shared. We called the state department to get an explanation. Board member Sam Mowbray was troubled by the resolution and spoke up, questioning whether pink slips should automatically be distributed whenever there is a funding cut. If CUSD can afford to pay employees through its general fund or money obtained from another category, he wondered, cant the district avoid cutting their positions? And if thats the case, cant CUSD put off giving pink slips, at least for the time being?
We might have a cost we could kind of eat for a few months without breaking the bank, Mr. Mowbray said. I would like to give us as much flexibility as possible rather than hand out pink slips. Even potential RIFs are unsettling for employees, noted Kara Evans, a teacher on special assignment who is helping the district implement the Common Core. Pink slips cause so much anxiety, she said. Layoffs are not only detrimental to employee morale, they are potentially devastating to a school site, Mr. Mowbray expressed. Id like to know about the impact [of potential layoffs] to the educational program, he said. I would hope we would have a way to talk about it beforehand. Superintendent Jim Elsasser politely urged the board to pass the resolution. Should layoffs prove economically necessary, he asserted, CUSD cannot eliminate any of the positions in question if the staffers have not been given advance notice, in this case at least 60 days. If the board does not approve this item, well miss the deadline, he said. If we make the decision now, we can rescind it. Ms. Shoemaker said the initial conversation on which positions should be saved starts with the respective school site councils. We could perhaps shift funding to another category and try to keep the sites relatively whole, she said. Before voting to approve the agenda
item, the board in its entirety echoed Mr. Mowbrays sentiments that layoffs should be avoided if at all possible. I would like to discuss whats the plan for these positions soon, board member Hilary LaConte said. While the resolution was passed, the board earned resounding applause from CUSD employees in the audience after the discussion. These included classified employees like Mr. Plumb and Rosie Bister, president of the classified staff union, and teachers like faculty union representatives Dave Chamberlain and Joe Tonan. I was very impressed with the deep and thoughtful discussion that took place, said Ms. Bister after the meeting. I think the board saw the seriousness of the resolution. It validated the value of our employees and what they do. The faculty union members on hand said they follow the way that classified staff is treated very closely, because it reflects the overall philosophy of the district with regards to all employees. Oh my gosh, that was the best discussion theyve had in years. It shows that the board is independent-thinking, Mr. Chamberlain, who is president of the faculty union, said. When asked after the meeting whether the applause had been tendered for Mr. Mowbray, Mr. Plumb demurred. It was for everyone, because it was hearing the conversation, he said.

Teens get creative to help keep Claremont green
pring cleaning has new significance for some of Claremonts youth. A group of enterprising adolescents descended upon the downtown area last week for a special afternoon cleanup, conducted through the Youth Activity Centers new Teen Green 4 A Cleaner Claremont program.
Teen Green was created under the leadership of the Claremont Teen Committee and tasked with finding a solution to combat complaints about the amount of litter in the Claremont Village, especially on days Claremont schools have early dismissal. Their brainstorming gave birth to a youth-oriented organization, which meets on the second and fourth Wednesday of every month, using service to educate local teens about the important of trash disposal. With garbage bags and trash picks in tow, local junior high and high school students are helping to keep the streets of Claremont clean. We want to be a part of the solution and not the problem, said Arianna Moss, a Claremont High School sophomore and teen committee member. We want to show our community that we care. The Teen Activity Center (TAC) and Youth Activity Center (YAC)providing after-school refuge for thousands of local junior high and high school studentshave played an integral part in connecting young Claremonters with the community they call home.

There had been citizen and merchant complaints about litter in the Village, so the city approached the students at YAC and the Teen Committee for ideas. The result was a new organization of volunteers from El Roble and the high school, who meet on the second and fourth Wednesday to help keep Claremont clean. The teens noted that the most common trash they found was cigarette butts.
Crossing the salt threshold

By Rev. Dr. William Lesher, chair emeritus of the Council for a Parliament of the Worlds Religions
t was very hot in Cape Town, South Africa on an early December day in 1999. I was among several thousand people from about 80 religious and spiritual traditions and from as many countries.
Inter-Faithfully SPEAKING
ment of the Worlds Religions that was held in the same city in 1893. It was amazing to be in a crowd of 8,000 people from virtually all the expressions of the worlds religions. The Dalai Lama blessed and entertained a huge crowd in Grant Park with his warm and inclusive remarks. Joseph Cardinal Bernadine, the Roman Catholic archbishop of the city, led local religious leaders in welcoming the world to Chicago. Hans Kung, a wellknown German theologian, with interfaith colleagues around the world, presented The Global Ethic, stating the basic ethical principle that all religions affirm. Hundreds of participants signed the document now translated into many languages. But it was when I crossed the salt threshold, five years later, at the third Parliament event in Cape Town, that it struck me that the religions of the world were entering a new phase in human history. For the most part, the religions have grown up through the centuries in isolation from one another. Even at those times and places when one or more religious communities lived sideby-side, they generally kept to themselves. More often, religious differences have been a contributing factor to disharmony, hatred and hostility. It is not altogether surprising that the current inter-faith movement, which many historians say began with the 1893 Parliament event, should emerge as the religious expression of this globalized world. Cities the world over that were religiously homogeneous a few decades ago now host a variety of multi-religious traditions. Scholars from different religions are working together, and sacred texts are being translated and made available to those outside the tradition. Discoveries are being made about the common themes in all the religions. Local religious leaders are likely to know and meet with their counterparts in other religious communities. Across the US, and here in Claremont, ecumenical councils have increasingly become inter-faith councils. And often, congregations of various religions are meeting, studying and worshipping together. The religions are crossing a threshold into a new interfaith phase of religious history. At its best, the current inter-faith movement is marked by three characteristics. First, its goal is not to unify the religions but to build harmony among them. This is not a new ecumenical movement (formed to unify the Christian denominations), nor a replacement for it. In this movement, the religions remain distinct, each with their unique history and insights, but open to and respectful of each other. Second, its aim is not to achieve consensus. The religions agree to disagree on many things. In the inter-faith movement, however, they are committed to finding those many places where their teachings, hopes and aspirations converge. And, third, there is no grand dream for a super religious institution to embrace the many religions. Rather, the movement is about inspiring, encouraging and implementing this new age of multi-religious appreciation, contact and
We had just completed a three-mile procession from the old government area in the center of the city to the edge of the business section. We were waiting our turn to climb the path to the top of a knoll that overlooked a large 30square-block area that had been home to hundreds of black African city dwellers known as District Six. Apartheid had ended, but this was one of its remaining scars. Several months earlier, just before Nelson Mandela was released from prison, District Six was bulldozed in the middle of the night and the residents trucked to homeland areas outside the city; it was one of the last acts of the dying apartheid regime. Multi-religious leaders from around the world were gathering on this knoll to purge District Six of the great evil that had occurred here and throughout this beautiful land. But before participants could enter this sacred space, we all had to cross a thick strip of salt, like a speed bump across the wide path. It slowed me down for a moment or two as it dawned on me that as I crossed this purifying salt band, I was entering an emerging inter-faith world and in some ways, a new phase of my life. This was not my first experience at a large multi-religious event. I had been in Chicago five years earlier at the Centennial Celebration of the first Parlia-
social engagement for the common good. It is not too early to see patterns of inter-faith growth emerging. The first stage is learning about each other. Many religions now have study materials of other religions. They encourage their members to know about their neighbors faith, engage in congregational exchanges and create opportunities to build human ties of friendship and solidarity. In time, these relationships develop into conversations about ultimate thingsour beliefs and experiences about the meaning of our lives, and our understanding of the divine and the ways our religions motivate us to care for others, work for justice and seek peace. My own sense is that the movement is approaching a third and urgent stage in which the religions of the world need to use their growing goodwill and their collective moral capital to search together for what role they canor mustplay in addressing the problems that threaten humanity: war, poverty and the environmental crises. Many of us have crossed an interfaith threshold. It may have been the door of a mosque, or a temple, a church or a Sikh gurdwara. In my case, it was a threshold of salt. However it happened, we now find ourselves in a new inter-religious age that is changing the course of human history. Rev. Dr. Lesher, chair emeritus of the Council for a Parliament of the Worlds Religions, is a minister in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and has served as president of seminaries in Chicago and Berkeley and pastor of two inner-city parishes. He resides with his wife, Jean, at Pilgrim Place.

We had to destroy the wilderness to save it
Dear Editor: My friend Dean McHenry spills out a cornucopia of grievances tied to the wilderness master planning in his April 4 viewpoint. His concerns are imaginary and overwrought. I will not address the first half of his article except to say that anyone dispassionately viewing the pedestrian traffic up and down Mills in the vicinity of the wilderness entrance will see a clear and present safety hazard that should be mitigated with all prudent speed. That the commission and staff that Mr. McHenry berates are trying to address that problem should be applauded rather than denigrated. In the second half of his column, Mr. McHenry turns to what he perceives as flaws in the planning process and darkly avers shenanigans afoot. He particularly singles out the advisory committee (of which, he fails to inform us, he is an alternate member). He fails to tell us that the organization he represents, the Claremont Wildlands Conservancy, was doubtless instrumental in the discussions leading to the establishment of this process and committee. Certainly, the CWC president, Lissa Peterson, seemed to button-hole and bend the ear of the assistant city manager before and after every meeting I attended (most of them) where the master plan statement of work and vendor selection were considered. Neither Mr. McHenry nor the CWC
complained when Ms. Peterson was included in a decidedly un-public process to score and recommend MIG consulting to do the master plan. Ms Peterson and CWC actively assisted in choosing the consultant! The advisory committee has only held one meeting, an introductory one, and neither Mr. McHenry, who was present and spoke, nor the primary CWC representative expressed any concern about the composition of the committee at that time. It was only after the first public meeting on March 24, which attracted some 250 or 300 citizens, that the CWC leadership panicked. They found that their parochial views were not shared for the most part by the public, so they went about trying to change out the public. The second half of Mr. McHenrys piece is peppered with scare quotes to emphasize the bad faith of the process as he sees it. He now throws rocks at the committee composition. He makes a counter-factual argument that wilderness can be saved by unfettered traffic and use. He would line the streets with enforcement to deter problems such as noise, trash and illegal parking. He finds harm to others, probably intentional, in the ideas proposed by the community. Get a grip, Dean. Bring your ideas and lets see how they stack up.

A workable water solution
Dear Editor: At the current pace, my Golden State Water bill will exceed my monthly Social Security check. Nobody can dispute that. Something needs to be done, and I think we need to take control of our water. For those who dont agree, please share a workable solution for those of us, who are on a fixed income, and feel that our water bill is completely absurd.

Commission recommendation
Dear Editor: With regard to the viewpoint by Dean McHenry in last weeks edition of the COURIER, I would like to make one correction. The Claremont Traffic and Transportation Commission did not approve an extension of the non-resident parking ban in neighborhoods near the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park. The commissioners approved and forwarded a recommendation to the Claremont City Council to extend this ban. The traffic and transportation commission does not have the authority to enact such a ban.

Wilderness park master plan
Dear Editor: I have been watching the process for the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park master plan since it first began and, after attending several sessions of the city council and the March 24 meeting at Taylor Hall hosted by MIG, the group
hired as consultants for this project, it has become clear that there is a need to involve more voices in this important task. At the first MIG meeting, hikers complained about bikers, bikers complained about hikers, neighbors complained about parking and others talked of issues involving their own self-interests and experiences. Very few people are speaking up about what is best for Claremont as a whole, the environment of the park and the thousands of people who use this wonderful natural resource of which our city has become the caretaker. Basically, an outside consultant, MIG, is going to gather data and make recommendations. But we also need the people of Claremont and users of the park to help decide what is best for the park, not based on their own particular self-interest, but what is best for all of Claremont. The Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) is supposed to be the voice of what is best for Claremont, but five out of 11 members are representatives of HOAs near the park. Where are the representatives of businesses, environmental groups, educational institutions, the forest service and adjacent towns? The composition of TAC doesnt reflect the city councils professed main concern, preserving the environment of the park. In the next few months, decisions will be made that will have lasting effects on everyone in Claremont, not just people who use the park or who live next to it, as well as the future of the environment of the park itself. The master plan that MIG produces will be reflective of the input it receives. We need to make sure the input is reflective of those with the best interests of Claremont and the park in mind.

Patricia Trish Branley, a longtime COURIER photographer, died on January 6, 2014 after a battle with cancer. She was born in Florida, the second of four children who were doted on by their father, John Branley. Young Trish was a real beach lover while living in the Sunshine State, her sister Pam shared. She enjoyed swimming and scuba diving in the warm waters of the gulf as well as catching some rays amid the surf and sand. Ms. Branley got her first college degree in fashion merchandising. When she was in her early 30s, she changed course and earned a degree in photojournalism. Her journalism career would encompass a transformative time in photography, spanning from the days of film and darkroom to the digital era. In 1993, Ms. Branley was hired on as photographer for the Claremont COURIER. The local newspaper was an ideal place for a budding photojournalist to build a portfolio, even more so because then-publisher Martin Weinberger loved photographs and believed in running them big. She would continue to work at the newspaper until January 2007, shooting countless photos in Claremont as well as some in more farflung locations. Former COURIER reporter Gary Scott had high praise for Ms. Branley. I remember how reliable Trish was at finding a front-page photoa photo that captured what was happening in Claremontwhat Claremont was about whether it be as complicated as a protest over a police shooting or as simple (but not simple to photograph well) as a flower in bloom, he said.
OBITUARIES
Students play tug o war at OLA in 2001.
Trish was a talent, Mr. Scott continued. Quiet and unassuming, she spoke through her pictures. I still have copies of prints she made of a trip to Guatemala hanging on my wall. Every place she went was about the people there. If you can capture that essence, you are an artist. She was an artist. Ms. Branley lived in a small cabin in Mt. Baldy throughout her tenure at the newspaper, braving freezing winters and the winding mountain road in order to be close to nature. A dedicated cat lover, her winters were made cozier by the presence of two beloved feline companions, Coco and Tiger. Trish often brought back scenic shots of bighorn sheep and snow-covered peaks, sharing a bit of the wild with COURIER readers. She had a close call with the wild in 2003 during the Grand Prix Fire that wreaked havoc in Claremont, especially in Claraboya, Palmer Canyon and Padua Hills, as well as in Baldy. In a My Side of the Line column he wrote the following month, Mr. Weinberger reflected on Ms. Branleys bravery. It was difficult to reach our newspaper photographer, Trish Branley. Phone service seemed to be erratic, he wrote. Trish was fine but I told her to leave the Baldy Village area, where she lived, because of growing dangers from the mountain fire. Trish possesses the mentality of a news photographer, probably the best thing that could be said about someone who follows that occupation, Mr. Weinberger continued. Baldy Village was soon to be evacuated by order of the sheriffs. Trish said, and the words rang loud and clear: Im here to take pictures. Thats what Im going to do. And she did. Ms. Branley was soft-spoken but bold. When she was in her 20s, she participated in amateur events at the Pomona Raceway, racing against trucks and muscle cars in a truck she dubbed Swamp Fox. While at the newspaper, Ms. Branley loved nothing more than to climb into one of the small airplanes housed at Cable Airport to capture aerial shots. She was often accompanied on these flights by equally-intrepid COURIER reporter Pat Yarborough.

She was a fine photographer and a friend, Ms. Yarborough said. We enjoyed each others company. Picking up on her adventurous spirit, then-publisher Martin Weinberger sent Ms. Branley far and wide, letting her camera lens become the local angle for national events. Ms. Branley traveled to Guatemala to capture photographs for the COURIER as well as to Florida to immortalize the launches of the first and second Mars Rovers. Perhaps her most memorable journey was a visit to New York just days after the September 11 terrorist attacks. Mr. Scott accompanied Ms. Branley to provide COURIER readers with a local perspective on what felt then like the only story that mattered. When they arrived at Ground Zero, first responders and volunteers were no longer looking for survivors. Instead, they were sifting through the rubble for bodies. It was a grim scene, but Ms. Branley was undaunted. Trish was a stalwart: never tired, always ready to go one more block, turn one more corner, talk to one more person, to ensure we were actually capturTRISH BRANLEY/next page

ing something different and important, Mr. Scott said. In 2004, Mr. Weinberger sent her to New York to cover the Republican National Convention. There, she met fellow photographer Neal Kemp, a member of the New York Police Department photo unit, who would remain a friend. Together, they toured the floor level of the Pit at the World Trade Center site, where recovery and cleanup had ceased and new construction had yet to begin. It was an eerie, silent oasis in Lower Manhattan. Imagining the death and destruction that had occurred there just a few years earlier would have a profound impact on anyone. Maybe thats why Trish went into law enforcement, he said, speaking of Ms. Branleys next career move. In January of 2007, Ms. Branley reinvented herself once more when she embarked on a position as a forensic identification specialist with the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department Crime Lab. I thought it was the perfect fit, because Trish had always been analytical
in her approach to just about everything, Mr. Kemp said. She embraced her new career, returning to school and earning a degree in criminal justice. On the job, she often worked in Compton, recording evidence such as knives and guns used in gang-related assaults. She put everything she had into that job, her sister said. The last years and months of Trishs life were some of her happiest, according to her family. She loved her job, was able to buy a house and a new car and even envisioned a retirement in Florida, complete with a house on the beach. She also managed to travel a bit, including a summer 2013 tour with her sister Pam of scenic sites like Catalina, Sequoia and Yosemite. She may have already had cancer, but she showed her characteristic gumption, according to her sister. When the two women hiked to a waterfall in Yosemite, Pam became exhausted threequarters of the way and turned back. Trish continued to the top, snapping photographs all the way. Family members and colleagues remember Ms. Branley for her hearty laugh, sparkling smile and remarkable

self-sufficiency. Ms. Branley was predeceased by her father, John Branley. She is survived by her sisters, Debbie Tellingheusin and Pam DeMar; by her brother, Scott Branley; by her longtime best friend, Veronica Dillane, as well as many other
friends and colleagues; and by her beloved cat, Jet. A celebration of Ms. Branleys life was widely attended by members of the LASD crime lab staff.

Mary Lou Slavik

Devoted wife and mother, friend to children
Mary Slavik, a longtime Claremont resident, died on Tuesday, April 1, 2014. She was 85. Mrs. Slavik was born on March 28, 1929 in Dayton, Ohio to John and Gladys Lenhardt. Young Marys family, which consisted of two sisters and a brother, moved in the late 1930s to St. Louis, Missouri. She met her husband John there in 1943 while working at National Candy Company. They married on July 8, 1950 and moved to Glendale, California in 1956. That same year, they welcomed a son, John. In 1969, they welcomed a daughter, Robin. The family moved from Glendale to La Puente and from Ontario to Pomona before finally settling in Claremont in 1978. While she worked on and off throughout the years, Mrs. Slavik was mainly a housewife. Her real joy came from watching children. She worked in the nursery at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church from the 1980s until 2007 and

Local music legends to offer musical Wares at Pasadena showcase
A celebration of feminism Entre Mujeres (Between Women)

Author Helena Mara Viramontes, acclaimed Broadway and screen actress Alma Martnez, Grammy award-winning musician Martha Gonzlez and Scripps College associate professor of music Cndida F. Jquez, who is also director of the Scripps College Humanities Institute, will host the pea Entre Mujeres (Between Women): Embodied Knowledges on April 15 at 7:30 p.m. in Garrison Theater. The event is free and open to the public. A pea is most broadly conceived as a community gathering through the arts that often relates to social justice issues, Ms. Jquez said. The evening will include performances and presentations by each of the women, an informal Q&A session and a reception following the show. Ms. Viramontes is professor of creative writing at Cornell University and author of Their Dogs Came With Them, The Moths and Other Stories and Under the Feet of Jesus. She has won numerous awards and honors, including the John Dos Passos Prize for Literature, a Sundance Institute Fellowship and a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship. Ms. Martnez, a Fulbright scholar and the first Latina(o) PhD to be inducted into the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences actors branch and the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences actors peer group, made her American film debut in Zoot Suit and was a principal actress in the political theater group El Teatro Campesino. Ms. Gonzlez, assistant professor of Chicano and Latino studies at Scripps and a member of the music group Quetzal, won a Grammy last year for the groups album, Imaginaries. Quetzal has been featured by the US Library of Congress, the Kennedy Center and Smithsonian Institution. Info call 621-8237 or visit www.scrippscollege.edu.
number of local luminaries will be making sweet music at T. Boyles Tavern in Pasadena on Sunday, April 13 from 5 to 8 p.m.
The Return of Ware celebrates the reunion of drummer John Ware, who lives in Denver, Colorado, with an array of southern California friends. Mr. Ware is an alumnus of Pomona College and lived in Claremont for a while. Among other accomplishments, he served as a longtime drummer for both Emmy Lou Harris and Linda Ronstadt. Several artists who are from Claremont or are fixtures in the Claremont music scene will also be taking the stage. One of these is fiddler and multi-instrumentalist Chris Darrow, a well-known session player who was a member of Kaleidoscope, a founding member of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and played for some time with Linda Ronstadt. Mr. Darrow, who recently released a new album called Island Girl, notably wrote Ben Harpers first single, Whipping Boy, which helped propel Mr. Harper to fame. Also joining the showcase will be guitarist Robb Strandlund, who has written several popular songs, including The Eagles Already Gone and the country hit I Can Tell By the Way You Dance (Youre Gonna Love Me Tonight). The local contingent is rounded out by bassist John Selk, who has played with Walter Egan and Rose Maddox, and keyboardist Jim Shirey, who
has worked with Mary Kay Place and was a member of the Hangan Brothers. Other performers in the showcase include singer/songwriter Dave Gleason and drummer Lloyd Myers, who has played with Linda Ronstadt, along with Dan McCorison, Eddie Cunningham and Kelly Moore. The musicians will be presenting original songs and country/rock. Thats a big slice of the California musical pie from the 60s to 80s and then some, noted Claremonter Robin Young, a talent buyer who is helping to coordinate the showcase. Mr. Shirey said that the show should provide a rollicking time for both performers and attendees. Its a bit of a fraternity, he said of the line-up. Some of us have been around for a long time. There are several excellent singers and the show is going to be very high-energy. Mr. Ware is in the area because he, along with Mr. Selk, are participating in a documentary being made about Native American guitarist Jessie Ed Davis, a legendary session artist who performed with Taj Mahal before dying of an apparent drug overdose in 1988. There is no cover charge for the show. Twenty percent of proceeds from the bar will go to the musicians. T. Boyles Tavern is located at 37 N. Catalina Ave. in Pasadena.

Alejandra Colon, an eighth grader at El Roble, says she makes it a point to participate in TAC activities at least four days a week.

Though the teens take their work seriously, it isnt all strictly business. Claremont kids who take part in the efforts are provided with a sweet incentive for their hard work. After properly disposing of trash and turning in recyclables, participants took a moment to enjoy the fruits of their labor with some frozen yogurt at 21 Choices in Village West. Its well-earned, insists program coordinator Katie Distelrath, who oversaw Wednesdays cleanup with coordinator Ali Martinez.

Keys to making Claremont an even better place to live

by Mark von Wodtke, FASLA
magine entering Claremont from the freeways (210 or the 10) or by the highways (Base Line, Foothill or Arrow) and experiencing beautiful tree-lined streets with parkways that define our community. As we can see on Indian Hill Boulevard, street trees provide wonderful gateways that celebrate each season of the year.
Imagine living near freeways or highways but not being exposed to excessive emissions and particles that compromise health. An urban forest is an extension of our lungs that assimilates emissions and filters particulates. Trees can also diminish the dull roar from traffic on freeways and highways by muffling sound, providing habitat for birds, and voice for the wind. Imagine capturing polluted water that runs off pavement fulfilling the requirements of recently approved water pollution regulations (MS4) in cost-effective ways. By pruning some pavement, we can create bio-swales that retain rainwater and digest contaminants before they get into storm drains and run off into riparian areas, lakes, beaches and the ocean. We can use some of the runoff we capture to irrigate street trees and parks, and provide ground-filtered water to feed the wells that Claremont depends upon. Imagine living in an oasis where the tree canopy reduces the heat island effect for the whole community and not just the Village where our communitys founders have had the vision to plant
and nurture the urban forest we benefit from today. This green infrastructure assimilates carbon dioxide and releases oxygen. Recycling green waste can include producing biochar which, when used to amend soil, sequesters carbon for thousands of years. Biochar enhances soil ecology for a healthier landscape. It can also filter water in bio-swales, which clean up pollution that runs off pavements. All of this is possible if we adopt a storm drainage concept inspired by keylining. Developed in Australia to make dry land more productive and reduce flooding, keylining uses vegetation-filled drainage ways to capture runoff and support the growth of trees.
VIEWPOINT
percolate water, could be along Base Line Road. This could support many street trees that could mitigate sound and emissions from the 210 Freeway. It would also clean up water before it goes into the detention basin that was built next to Base Line Road, just north of the 210 Freeway. Water from this basin, which flows down the storm drain in Indian Hill Boulevard, could fill retention basins that could be built in city parks and Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden to provide water for irrigation. It may be possible to add reclaimed water to this system to provide more consistent water for irrigation. The second keyline could be along Foothill Boulevard, the historic Route 66 that has evolved into a local highway and collector street. Pruning some of the pavement to create bio-swales would provide space to capture runoff and plant more trees that could enhance this gateway to the community. This could be tied into the water treatment facility proposed for the Claremont Colleges. The third keyline could be along Arrow Highway. Here again, bioswales can capture runoff in planter areas that support more trees to enhance this gateway. And a fourth keyline could be along San Jose Street, which could capture more runoff and have more trees to buffer the 10 freeway. Even more sewage water could be reclaimed there. Growing vines on the sound walls would reduce the reverberation of noise from the freeway.
eylines can be laid out in Claremont to capture water that runs off the alluvial cone that our community is built upon. These keylines would help Claremont adapt to drought and more intense rain storms that are likely to occur with a changing climate. The first keyline, where bio-swales
We have the opportunity to begin doing this by leveraging money the city has received from Caltrans to renovate Foothill Boulevard. This provides Claremont with matching funds for grants from the Flood Control District, Air Quality Management Control District and other funding sources. Lets build a team of professionals to successfully implement the keyline concept. With careful design, bio-swales can include bike paths on permeable pavement to create a safe bicycle-enhance network (BEN) along highways. The team of professionals hired to develop a Master Plan for Foothill Boulevard, needs community support for including keylining with bio-swales to sustain more street trees. We also need our city to accept the recommendations of the Tree Action Group of Sustainable Claremont and hire an urban forester with a budget to develop and implement an urban forest plan that uses keylines. Keylining our green infrastructure throughout Claremont could become a model for human ecosystems applying regenerative design for sustainable development, following principles identified by the visionary John T. Lyle. The bottom line is that we could improve our quality of life by making Claremont an even nicer place to live if we use imagination to get beyond complacency with the current status quo. Claremont could manage its water resourcesimprove its potable water supply, conserve storm water and salvage reclaimed water from sewageto become less dependent on imported water, and at the same time do more to live up to its reputation as the beautiful City of Trees.

Definitely FABULOUS, always FRIVOLOUS, and full of Claremont FOLLY

COURIER photos/Peter Weinberger
he Fabulous, Frivolous Follies has certainly become a mainstay, not only at Mt. San Antonio Gardens but also for Claremonters who enjoy classic, sometimes old-school, and definitely silly original entertainment. The 2014 version did not disappoint during the three performances last week,. This 11th annual variety show first started in 1997 when people recognized the talent pool that resides at the Gardens each year. The faces sometimes change, but the enthusiasm and excitement for the spotlight never ceases. There is a ton of work that goes into these performances, which starts when some of the 77 Gardens committees get organized. Stuart Oskamp, the director and announcer for the show, says it takes over 100 volunteers to develop and pull off entertainment of this magnitude. During an eight-week process, residents will try out with a rough version or idea for an act. Once chosen, the actors will continue to develop their script with the input of others, he said. Rehearsals start about four weeks before opening night, and are held as often as possible. There are many people behind the scenes, like stage manager Mary Cavena, who makes sure everyone is in the right place at the right time. This years show included 14 performances, including piano playing, singing, dance, recitation and other humorous acts. Nothing was off limits. And no costume was too wild, as these seniors were more than happy to bring smiles to the audience looking for the offbeat and entertaining.
The cast of the 2014 Fabulous, Frivolous Follies waves to the crowd during their curtain call last Thursday. At this point, ts difficult to predict when the next follies show will hit the stage. The previous show was in 2011, with a much different cast.
You know it will be quite humorous when seniors dress up and act like little first graders in class. Virginia Crosby is surprised at all the extra attention just as the curtain closes on a routine called Proverbially So.
Multi-talented actor, announcer and follies event organizer Stuart Oskamp, above, tells the story of The Ballad of Ann Boleyn in quite a unique and original way. Even though Lenore Dollries, right, had a piano playing guring her act, no one was quite sure if you could call the performance singing. But her costume certainly caught some looks during her performance titled, Brunnhilde Sings? The Garden Belles sing a wonderful rendition of This Little Light of Mine.

Greywater: a green solution in the Golden State

By Laura Muoz
irginia Routhe wrote a compelling piece in the COURIER about the critical importance of water conservation in Claremont not only in the current severe drought situation but also for decades to come.
In the January 24 Demystifying Sustainability column, Ms. Routhe announced the launch of DRIP, the Drought Resistant Irrigation Project, sponsored by Sustainable Claremont and the city of Claremont. One of DRIPs exciting new water-saving initiatives promotes the reuse of household greywaterwater that has been gently used for laundry and bathing. This water can be safely recaptured and reused to irrigate the landscape, helping local residents to sustain Claremonts lovely treescape at a lower environmental and financial cost. Currently, almost half of Claremonts water is imported from hundreds of miles away through a costly and energy-intensive process. As global climate change continues, Claremont residents will experience increasing average temperatures, worsening local and statewide water shortages, and rapidly increasing water costs. The use of recycled water for landscape
irrigation is beneficial in many ways: it saves water and money, reduces energy footprints and loads on sewer systems, and replenishes local aquifers. Moreover, it is well suited for many kinds of plants. Greywater Corps, a Los Angeles-based company that specializes in greywater education, design and installation, reports that a typical Los Angeles household uses about 243 gallons of water per day, and usually 50 to 80 percent of it can be reused for irrigation. According to Greywater Corps, greywater systems typically save a household 10,000 to 50,000 gallons per year, which can translate to savings of around $400 per year. Greywater systems have the potential to make an even greater impact in Claremont, where average daily household water use is about 524 gallons per day, according to a Golden State Water report released in 2010. A primary reason that Claremonts per-household water usage is much higher than in Los Angeles is greater outdoor water use70 percent of water consumed in Claremont is used for outside irrigation. A combination of greywater irrigation systems and other water-saving methods (e.g. water-conserving appliances and
VIEWPOINT
drought resistant plantings) has the potential to considerably reduce overall water consumption in Claremont. These changes would improve long-term sustainability and benefit residents financially, increasingly so as Claremonts already high water costs continue to rise. One of the best things about converting to greywater irrigation is that its easy. DRIP is currently promoting a Laundryto-Landscape greywater model, a simple system that does not require building permits and meets state and local legal requirements. Installation is straightforward and original plumbing is kept intact. The systems are virtually maintenance free.
Getting a laundry system professionally installed can cost as little as $1000; installation is even cheaper if done oneself, costing around $200 in parts and achievable in a weekend by a reasonably handy person. The time to act is now. A great way to start is by attending the greywater workshop on Saturday, April 19 hosted by Sustainable Claremont. The workshop will put you on an easy and gratifying path to installing your own household greywater system and being a part of Claremonts sustainable future.

Creating divine desserts is nothing new for Claremont creamery
hats the best way to define the flavor of Claremont? For Brent and Sherry Hunter, its in a mix of caramel apples and a scoop of Cream Cheese Chip.
The Hunters are in the business of making Claremont sweeter, churning out homemade specialties as part of Bert & Rockys ice cream and candy shop, a Village institution since 1998. Every day, employees make Claremont as many as 100 gallons of frosty favorites like Caramel Cashew and Rocky Road. All that churning calls for a celebration. This Saturday, April 12, the creamery will celebrate 16 years in Claremont with a special Sweet Sixteen soiree, complete with a trivia contest, prizes and, of course, ice cream scoops. The bash begins at 11:30 a.m., with prizes every 16 minutes through the extravaganzas end at 3 p.m. While the desserts are decidedly divine, its whos behind the counter that makes the mom-and-pop shop a true community mainstay. [Brent and Sherry] are the best part of working here, said store manager Jolene Gonzales, an employee since the shops beginning. They take care of their own. The Hunters recognize that employee and customer appreciation is a key ingredient to thriving in small business, and have made it their mission to deliver on that end. The result can be seen in the large extended family of Bert & Rockys employees past and present, many of whom began, like Ms. Gonzales, as students at Claremont High School looking for first-time employment. It can be a challenge working with school schedules, but these students learn a lot about themselves working here, Ms. Hunter said. Its important to us to continue providing them those opportunities. With so many of their employees local students, the Hunters have also made it their goal to give back to the Claremont Unified School District and other local institutions by holding Scoop Night fundraisers and other charitable events. Their anniversary celebration will be no different. From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., all ice

cream scoop sales will benefit the Claremont Educational Foundation and Relay for Life. We reach out to the community through the organizations we support, Ms. Hunter said. We want to give them the same loyalty they give to us. The Hunters know first-hand the importance of a loyal customer. Before becoming ice cream makers, the Hunters were avid connoisseurs of the cold confection; a Sunday was hardly complete without a stop at Bert & Rockys Cream Company in Upland for a scoop of classic vanilla for Mr. Hunter. When the stores closure in the 1990s threatened that routine, they decided to literally put their money where their

mouths were. The Hunters had been considering going into business. An ice cream company, however, was far from what the couple had in mind, with their background in association management. With a three-day crash course from Bert in all things ice cream, they quickly saw those plans evolve. The change was admittedly a challenge, but fortunately Mr. Hunter brought with him more than just a basic love of ice cream. His father, a research chemist for a company that experimented with the use of kelp in products like ice cream, always kept the family fridge stocked with the frosty dessert. The years of delicious indulging provided his son with the palate that has proven useful in developing Bert & Rockys homemade creations, more than 350 in all. After mastering the art of the ice cream, the Hunters weathered another change in 1998 as they closed their Upland location to move into a confection shop called The Candy Bar Emporium on the corner of Yale and Bonita in Claremont, where the store continues to flourish. The move allowed them to expand on their product, dishing up ice cream alongside hand-dipped caramel apples, caramel-laden chocolate turtles and sweet chocolate barks. The same decadence continues today, but a new change is on the horizon. The anniversary celebration marks another special occasion as the Hunters announce a new partnership with the Gonzales family. The Gonzales clan, a Claremont family that has worked in the shop since the beginning, will slowly take over management of the beloved ice cream parlor over the next two years as the Hunters set their eyes on moving solely into wholesale. For Ms. Hunter, the transition is not a bittersweet goodbye but the start of a delicious new chapter. Its the most exciting thing for me. I get choked up every time I talk about it, Ms. Hunter said. This [Bert & Rockys] is our family. Its just the best. Bert & Rockys is located at 242 Yale Ave. For more information, visit them at www.bertandrockys.com. Beth Hartnett

COURIERphotos/Steven Felschudneff Claremont High Schools Jack Pavlisin is about to stop Chino Hills Justin Bardwell in his effort to steal second base on Wednesday during varsity baseball action in Chino Hills. The Huskies pitcher, Jake Taylor, nearly shut down the Pack, eading his team to a decisive 10-1 victory.
CHS baseball overwhelmed by hard-hitting Chino Hills
laremont Highs boys baseball team was competing against an open tap. It became a neverending spewing faucet, sprung loose by the Chino Hills Huskies hitters Wednesday at Chino Hills High School.
It burst in the first three innings and senior pitcher Jonathan Ochoa fought the tide for the majority of the game. However, the flood SPORTING was overwhelming in the bottom of the sixth LIFE and the Huskies won, 10-1. They were able to take advantage of our mistakes, junior center fielder Jeremiah Maldonado said. We have to do better tracking them down. From open fields to miscommunication in the infield, the Huskies managed to take control of the game early. After Chino Hills senior second baseman Cody Sporter doubled to left field, his teammate, junior right fielder Chris Ceballos, scored, making it 5-1. They never looked back . The Wolfpack also committed three errors matched with only two hits, compared to the Huskies, who belted 11 hits and no errors. Wolfpack Head Coach Geoff Ranney said his team is ready to put this game behind and focus on the remaining season. We can only take it one game at a time, Coach Ranney said. The good thing about being a young team is we can see this as a teachable moment. The Wolfpack started to show some signs of life at the top of the sixth as
The CHS defense did manage to make plays whenever the Huskies tried to sneak past them. Whether it was Ochoas quick throws to first base, or Maldonado chasing flies in center field, each maneuver let the Huskies now they were watching their every move. No one watched these moves more than senior catcher Alex Galuchie. During the bottom of the second and fourth innings, at least one Huskie tried to test his arm by stealing second base. They tried to get a quick jump on Ochoa but when Galuchie spotted movement, he reacted quickly and fired it to sophomore second baseman Jack Pavlisin. Both attempts resulted in outs. I knew they were going to steal, Galuchie said. Our pitcher was getting too tired and I had to act. CHS hopes to change things up Friday at home game against Charter Oak High at 3:30 p.m. Claremont High remains defeated, 2-0, in Sierra League play. Lighter sports schedule due to spring break Due to spring break, the CHS sports schedule is lighter than usual. However, the boys tennis team prepares to take on Ayala at 3:15 p.m. on Friday at Claremont High School. The track and field team will be trying to break personal records Friday and Saturday at the Arcadia Invitational. Both field and running events start at 4:30 p.m. Friday and the meet will start again 9:30 a.m. Saturday. Next week, the swimming team will be home facing Charter Oak at 3:15 p.m., April 16. The boys volleyball team will also face Arcadia at 5 p.m.

Claremont High School outfielder Tyler Jaques snags a fly ball backed up by teammate Jeremiah Maldonado on Wednesday during the Packs conference game against Chino Hills High School in Chino Hills.
senior first baseman Jonathan Vance got a hit to right field and hustled to second base. After freshman right fielder Tyler Jaque was tagged out at first base, Maldonado crushed a liner to right and earned the teams only score. That was pretty much defensive batting, Maldonado said. I was down two strikes and I had to go for it. Even though it was a minor glimpse
of the Wolfpacks strong offense, Coach Ranney said it was enough to let their opponents know Claremont can still compete. The Wolfpack can develop momentum when they need to, but the struggle is staying consistent for all seven innings. Hits are contagious, Coach Ranney said. We managed to catch a little fire but it wasnt enough.

The market started to heat up for Claremont in March. Inventory once again remains low, similar to last year. Prices are up considerably from the previous year, and the low inventory continues to keep the market moving in an upward direction. On average, homes are selling very close to their asking prices, and well-priced/well-marketed homes often arent lasting much more than a week before selling.

Designed by Fred McDowell, this Case Study House was a regional winner in the Portland Cement Association's 1964 competition for its unusual use of glass and cement. This iconic mid-century residence skillfully situated on nearly three quarters of an acre, encompasses 180 degree, panoramic views of the horizon through its soaring 14foot windows. This stunning example of 60's modern architecture has been beautifully and thoughtfully renovated, blending exquisite finishes and topflight appliances, clean lines and powerful angles that have made this a one-of-a-kind home since its original creation. The many features include, an artistic blend of terrazzo tile, birds eye maple cabinetry, designer fixtures and a magnificent brass faced fireplace that centers the floor plan of this architectural gem. The master retreat, family and dining room, living room and kitchen along with the additional two bedrooms, take full advantage of the city light views. The generous outdoor space includes a pool and magically, landscaped courtyard allowing seamless indoor/outdoor flow for entertaining and conversation, while enjoying the city light views from your private deck. A true classic, modernist example of the integration of art and architecture.

Absolutely very professional. Smoothest transaction I have ever experienced when comparing to any other large purchases I have ever made. Mason has really raised the bar for me to evaluate any other customer service in any field. He is very knowledgeable, has great rapport and was absolutely on top of [every step]. I had some very tight deadlines in purchasing my home and I feel very fortunate that I came across Mason as I consider him an integral part of why I was able to meet my purchase goals and deadlines. My parents are now considering moving into the area and of course, this is a no-brainer, they will call Mason when they are ready. Andy P.
