Out-of-town streetwalkers
Dear Editor:
Now we have Golden State Water out-
of-town streetwalkers prowling Clare-
monttheir latest ploy to confuse the issue
of Claremont owning its water.
They are asking for residents to have the
right to vote on what Golden State Water
claims will be the real price of the purchase,
$135 million, which they are asking Clare-
monters to assume is the starting price. The
real price will be whatever a judge says it is
and will be based on a realistic appraisal.
The city has that realistic appraisal of $54
million. So lets stop bandying about this
bloated figure of $135 million.
Do not be fooled by these CAWA peo-
ple. They are only a small self-appointed
group recruited by Golden State Water to
keep the citizens of Claremont from derail-
ing their very lucrative gravy traina rail-
road operation funded at our expense.
Just remember one thing: Golden State
equals CAWA equals Donna Lowe and her
little coterie shilling for GSW.
When these walkers knock on your door,
be polite but firm in refusing to sign. They
are only struggling folks, the victims of this
no-job recovery, trying to support them-
selves as best they can. They know not
what they do. We do.

Transparency in water issues
Dear Editor:
A meeting was held Monday evening to,
I found, promote the hostile takeover of
Claremonts water system. I went into it
thinking that, conceptually, the takeover is
a bad idea. Several people who spoke made
a good case for local control of our water
that moved me to on-the-fence status.
What I took away from this meeting that
citizens should be aware of:
City control will not soon reduce the cost
of our water. The assumption is that costs
will increase less going forward than they
have under Golden State Water control. At-
torneys will be happy as millions of dollars
are spent on litigation. Should Claremont
gain control, most of the current cost com-
ponents will remain. Additionally, citizens
will, for decades, be required to service a
huge amount of debt. Our water bills will,
necessarily, increase in the near term.
As the collective owners of our water de-
livery system, the citizens of Claremont
would be taking on the liability for future
maintenance and replacement of the infra-
structurea massive underground system
of pipes, meters and valves, much of it 100
years old. Certainly, a separate reserve
funded by us will be required to pay for on-
going upgrades and inevitable major prob-
lems associated with old plumbing.
I assumed that city council members
would be at this meeting. I wanted to hear
why they are withholding the feasibility re-
port and other details supporting their plan.
What dont they want us to know? This is
a concern. Why will we not be allowed to
vote on $80 million, possibly $135 million,
of indebtedness? If this takeover is such a
great idea, why do they think it necessary to
spend $176,000 to hire a PR firm to sell it
to us?

Claremont
Support the citys effort
Dear Editor:
In a battle that pits David against Go-
liath, the city of Claremont has taken on
Goliath, Golden State Water. The city coun-
cil, in a very open and democratic way, has
put forth a ballot measure to help fund the
purchase of what will be our own water.
Golden State is a large company that
provides a service to its customers, but,
sadly it has become more about making
profits. It does this on the backs of the citi-
zens of Claremont. Every two years or so,
the company trots out another request for a
rate increase. Golden State makes a good
profit and offers a good dividend to its in-
vestors but cares little, if anything, for the
ultimate consequences of the ever-increas-
ing cost of water for its customers. Its pri-
mary concern is to make money.
The government of the city of Claremont
represents the people and by purchase of
the water system, profit will no longer be
the primary focus.
Water is a basic necessity of life and out-
side of food, nothing is more essential for
our existence. Water should be clean and
affordable to all and with the bond meas-
ure scheduled to be on the ballot in No-
vember, we can be in greater control of our
own destiny.
If you save on water usage in the future,
you will no longer be tagged with an im-
moral surcharge because the company is
making less money.
There are a few among us who would
have you believe otherwise. They would
have you believe that private enterprise is
the key and that Golden State Water is good
for you. Dont believe them. Golden State
is a monopoly; there is no competition to
help keep the price down.
It is ironic that Tea Party individuals are
leading the effort to thwart the will of the
people. The original Tea Party protested the
price of tea. The current members of what
is called a Tea Party are being used by the
water company to support the ever-in-
creasing price of water and the ever-in-
creasing profits of Golden State Water.
The original Sons and Daughters of lib-
erty fought the Intolerable Acts of the
British. Our city council has the courage to
fight the intolerable acts of the water com-
pany. Let us support the bi-partisan efforts
of our fellow citizens to pass the bond issue
in November.

f Monday nights Sustainable Clare-
mont meeting is any indication,
Claremont residents will overwhelm-
ingly approve the citys $55 million bond
measure slated for the November ballot.
After his presentation on the November water bond
measure, Freeman Allen, co-chair of Sustainable
Claremont, posed the question, By a show of hands,
how many of you support the citys bond measure?
Of the approximate 50 people in attendance, 43 indi-
cated they would approve the citys measure. Only
two residents were opposed, with one gentleman
adding that he was on the fence. An additional six
stated they were still undecided.

Claremont and Golden State still miles apart on water issue
I
t was a splashdown at
Claremonts city council
meeting Tuesday night
when councilmembers voted to
reject the proposed Memoran-
dum of Understanding between
Golden State Water Company
and Claremont Affordable
Water Advocates.
My colleagues and I rejected the pro-
posal as it was not a legally enforceable
document nor in the best long-term inter-
est of the ratepayers, said Mayor Joe
Lyons in a press release issued by the city.
We are calling on Golden State Water to
come to the table and negotiate directly
with the city and provide residents with a
real solution to the communitys ongoing
water rate increases.
At the councils request in June, city
staff explored the feasibility of entering
into a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) with GSW and presented an
item-by-item analysis, including the
citys response, for each
point of discussion. Al-
though city staff stated
that the goals of the MOU appeared to be
a good start, they said the major down-
side was that its unclear how or by
whom this MOU would be enforced, and
does not discuss how rates will be ad-
dressed after 2022.
At a cost to the city of $13,000, city
staff and legal counsel took great care in
reviewing the MOU, city staff said, open-
ing discussions with GSW based on the
original MOU between GSW and Clare-
mont Affordable Water Advocates. In re-
viewing the MOU, the citys legal team
had serious concerns and reactions to
several points, including GSWs claim
that they plan to lower water bills, offer
local control, pursue water conservation,
offer WRAM alternatives and support lo-
cals schools.
Although the MOU proposed a new
rate structure for residential customers, it
failed to explain what impacts the pro-
posed rate structure would have on other
ratepayers, such as local businesses.
Theres nothing in there about busi-
ness rates. Im probably the largest water
ratepayer in this room, said Claremont
DoubleTree hotel General Manager An-
drew Behnke. Im shocked Golden State
is not here. The presence in this room
speaks volumes about whos serious
about water and whos not.
North Claremont resident Mark Sterba
took to the podium and identified himself
as a CAWA member, encouraging the
council to continue discussions with
Golden State Water. Mr. Sterba revealed
that his goal of joining the grassroots
group was to get GSW and the city talk-
ing once again and he feels that goal has
been accomplishedm although he admits
more work needs to be done.
Three things are important to me
when it comes to water, explained Mr.
Sterba. Quality of service, reliability and
price. Golden State has provided two of
those. The MOU was supposed to give
the city guardrails on how to get to the
third one, which is effectively giving us
an affordable price of water. I encourage
you to move forward with the evaluation
MOU and to look for ways to reduce
water prices for our residents and to peo-
ple like the DoubleTree, I dont want
them to pick up the extra pieces.
In response to the citys rejection of the
proposed MOU, Denise Kruger, Senior
Vice President of Regulated Utilities at
Golden State Water Company issued the
following statement to the COURIER:
We have stated from the beginning
that we are committed to working coop-
eratively with city officials to reach a
compromise that will avoid a costly and
divisive eminent domain fight. We be-
lieve a solution can be achieved and are
ready to work toward that if their will-
ingness to negotiate is real.
Claremont officials say they remain
open to negotiations with Golden State.
However, if an agreement isnt reached
within the next couple of weeks, the city
will move forward with the possible ac-
quisition of the water system, seeking
voter approval to issue water revenue
bonds to finance the purchase.
According to city attorney Sonia Car-
valho, the deadline to pull the ballot
measure from the November election is
August 6.
City staff has said the city can support
an $80 million purchase price through
current revenues collected from water
bills. The proposed bonds would give the
city an additional $55 million toward the
potential acquisition of the Claremont
water system, should a judge or jury
value the system over $80 million.

C
anvassers allegedly working on
behalf of the Let Claremont Vote
Committee started making the
rounds last week, circulating a petition for
a measure calling for voter approval on
the entire financing proposal to purchase
Claremonts water system from Golden
State Water Company.
Let Claremont Vote in a new committee formed by
Denise Kruger of Golden State Water and Donna Lowe
of CAWA. At around 6:45 p.m. on Wednesday, July 16,
two canvassersan unidentified male and female with
white clipboards in handarrived to the Claremont
home of Pat OMalley. His wife, Shelley, had just fin-
ished giving their baby a bath when she passed by the
familys home surveillance monitor and witnessed the
couple at their front door.
After watching the monitor for a moment, Ms.
OMalley couldnt believe her eyes. The man was
groping the woman, right there on the OMalleys front
porch.
My wife opened the front door, Mr. OMalley ex-
plained, and when they started their speech she said, I
dont care. What the heck are you doing on my
porch?
When the couple couldnt find the words to respond,
Ms. OMalley told them, I saw what you were doing,
get the hell off my property!
The couple walked away without saying a word.
According to Mr. OMalley, the inappropriate public
behavior of the alleged Golden State Water walkers
didnt stop there. A neighbor claimed to have spotted
the couple steaming things up in a car just down the
street from the OMalley home and called the police.
One Claremont resident posted the following on
Facebook. After they were done canvassing, they
made out in their car on Norwich [Drive] for a couple
of hours until someone called CPD, the resident
wrote. Two cars arrived and lit up the interior of their
car. Guess they told them to get dressed. They left the
area about 10 minutes later.
The Claremont Police Department confirms they did
indeed respond to a call on Norwich Drive. Officers
spoke with a male and female sitting in a car who
claimed to be taking pictures of the mountains.
For the OMalleys, this isnt the first time their home
surveillance system has come in handy, as its captured
vehicles leaving the area after break-ins.
Ive got a couple of bad guy cars on here, but this is
the most comical one for sure, he says.
Despite the surveyors unprofessionalism, Mr.
OMalley says that, iven Golden State Waters past ac-
tions, he believes the water company wont do much to
apologize.
[Golden State Water] should care but, given how
they treat other things, it seems like they dont want to
deal with the people. Theyre all about the dollar and
the profit, Mr. OMalley said.
The COURIER has reached out to representatives
from Golden State Water Company and the Let Clare-
mont Vote Committee. Ms. Lowe, on behalf of the Let
Claremont Vote Committee responded.
I am appalled by the behavior of two individuals
who have been alleged to be paid signature-gatherers,
Ms. Lowe said. I have confirmed that neither of the
people in the video have been paid a penny to gather
signatures, and that they are not part of the signature-
gathering effort to give people in Claremont the right to
vote on the $80 million water bond as part of a $135
million takeover plan.
Based on the video and reports from numerous resi-
dents, however, the couple in the video was gathering
signatures for the Let Claremont Vote committee, paid
for by Golden State Water. The COURIER is working
to confirm Ms. Lowes claim.
The Let Claremont Vote Committee, Randle Com-
munications and Golden State Water have secured the
services of Bader and Associates in Roseville, Califor-
nia, a petition management company that qualifies bal-
lot initiatives using paid signature-gatherers.
When the COURIER called Tom Bader for a com-
ment regarding the video, Mr. Bader hung up the
phone. Two immediate follow-up calls requesting com-
ment went straight to voicemail. Hours later, Mr. Bader
responded by email with the following statement:
We are contracted to gather signatures for the
Claremont ballot measure that would require a public
vote to approve government borrowing for the purpose
of trying to buy the local water system. A video of peti-
tion-gatherers was taken where the individuals are en-
gaged in inappropriate behavior that is entirely
inconsistent with the standards we have for our con-
tracted signature-gatherers.I have reviewed the video
and can unequivocally state that they were not con-
tracted by Bader and Associates, Golden State Water
Company or through any subcontractor for this proj-
ect.
Another resident, who asked to remain anonymous,
stated that the couple had also knocked on their door
stating they were gathering signatures for the water pe-
tition.
Keeping the Good in Our Neighborhood (KGNH), a
citizens neighborhood watch group in Claremont
founded by Betty Crocker, reported the couples suspi-
cious activity on the groups Facebook page. In addi-
tion, Ms. Crocker confronted the couple and was so
disturbed by their behavior, she wrote a letter to Denise
Kruger at Golden State Water Company detailing her
experience with the couple.
I found the canvassing couple leaving Redlands
[Drive] and asked them who they were. While they
were in front of my truck, the young man was groping
his friend, kissing and laughing. It was the strangest
behavior I have ever seen from solicitors.
In her letter to Ms. Kruger, Ms. Crocker then de-
tailed a 10-minute conversation she had with the cou-
ple.
They revealed they were hired by a petition com-
pany to collect signatures on a water initiative, Ms.
Crocker wrote. They used the same language that
[GSW] chose in your press release I received last night,
They believe the voters should be able to vote on the
entire $135 million. I report this to you to call your at-
tention to the fact these canvassers are collecting signa-
tures for the GSW water initiative that you signed. It is
my opinion you owe this community an apology...In

my seven years of KGNH, this is the very first time I
have received any reports of sexually explicit behavior
from solicitors/canvassers.
Golden State Water Company continues to distance
itself from the situation, denying any involvement with
the amorous canvassers. Julie Hooper of Randle Com-
munications sent the following statement to the
COURIER on behalf of Denise Kruger, Golden State
Waters senior vice president of regulated utilities:
We were made aware of a video capturing ex-
tremely inappropriate behavior outside of a local resi-
dents home. We find the video deeply distributing. We
take this issue very seriously and immediately took ac-
tion to look into the situation. The signature-gathering
firm retained to support the effort reviewed the footage
and confirmed that both the man and woman in the
video do not have a contract to gather signatures for the
initiative. Further, the man and woman in the video
have never been authorized or paid to secure voter sig-
natures. These activities are not at all reflective of
Golden State Water Companys values and principles.
We are deeply sorry for any concern caused by the situ-
ation.
Angela Bailey
provided a thorough synopsis of the citys water his-
tory, including Claremonts water sources and wells.
His report, however, focused on the citys initiative
to get voter approval for $55 million in bonds to go to-
ward the acquisition of the citys water system. The
city, Mr. Allen explained, has stated it can support up to
$80 million in revenue bonds based on current charges
collected from monthly water bills.
During his talk, Mr. Allen also strived to dispel what
he characterized as misinformation being circulated by
the Claremont Affordable Water Advocates (CAWA), a
local group led by resident Donna Lowe, in the organi-
zations attempt to thwart the citys effort to acquire the
water system. On behalf of CAWA, Ms. Lowe, who
did not attend the presentation, has regularly called the
bond measure a tax in mailers and advertisements, in
addition to suggesting that approval of the water bond
will negatively impact public schools and other city
services.
The revenue bonds will not be paid for by taxes. It
is not a tax, Mr. Allen stated. Such bonds are paid
through user-fees only and billed only to water-users.
CAWAs Memorandum of Understanding with
Golden State Water Company has caught the attention
of Claremont resident Marilee Scaff, who co-authored
the LWVs 2010 feasibility study on the citys water
system acquisition.
You cannot negotiate with a group like this
[CAWA], Ms. Scaff asserted. You can only negotiate
with elected officials.
With as much as $80 million supported in fees
through current water rates, according to city staff, pas-
sage of the November initiative is not to approve $55
million more in bonds, but to allow the city of Clare-
mont to procure the bonds only if needed.
The price of the water system is simply not $135
million, Mr. Allen emphasized.
The citys feasibility study, which has not been re-
leased for public review, has set the appraised value of
Claremonts water system at $55,094,000. Golden
State Water Company estimates a much higher value
and has repeatedly said the system is not for sale.
When, and if, the city triggers a formal eminent do-
main process, a judge or jury will determine the final
appraised value of Claremonts water system.
In the event that the judge or jury values Claremonts
system higher than the $80 million, additional bonds
would be necessary to pay for the system, and residents
would see that reflected in slightly higher water fees,
according to the June 10 city council report prepared
by city attorney Sonja Carvahlo. In this scenario, it is
estimated that the average increase for a single-family
residence in Claremont would be roughly $28 per
month or $336 each year.
For Mr. Allen and the Sustainable Claremont com-
mittee members, the benefits to a city-owned system
far outweigh the possibility of a temporary, small
uptick in monthly rates. With a municipal system, the
city will have access to federal grants to support the
water system and there would be no charge for city-
used water, which Mr. Allen said could result in a cost-
savings for the city that can be applied to maintaining
other services.
The presentation at Pomona Colleges Hahn Hall
also included a side-by-side rate comparison with the
city of La Verne, a neighboring city that owns and
maintains its own water system. Imported water costs
nearly four times as much as local well water. Clare-
mont gets two-thirds of its water from local wells while
importing the remaining one-third. By contrast, La
Verne draws one-third from local wells, while import-
ing two-thirds of its water.
La Verne has five tiers of gradually-increasing water
rates with residents fees based on the users location,
or elevation, to account for the cost of pumping water
uphill. Golden State Water, on the other hand, utilizes a
three-tiered system and includes additional WRAM
and meter-charges which, Mr. Allen says, results in
substantially higher rates for Claremonters. Dollar for
dollar, a typical $124 monthly bill from Golden State
Water would cost a La Verne resident roughly $72.
When you factor in this cost discrepancy, along with
Golden State Waters skyrocketing earnings for share-
holders, Mr. Allen believes weve long passed the need
for a city-owned system in Claremont and hopes resi-
dents wont be distracted by the oppositions glossy
mailers and ad campaigns.
We need to focus on what the real facts are and
not on unsubstantiated claims, he said.

owned water system, visit www.claremontflow.org.

Many weighed in on Facebook with comments from
residents spanning from the hilarious to the outraged.
Some fumed, and others chuckled, with expressions
like creepy, grab-ass, titillating, embarrassment,
voyeur, steamy, ashamed and, dare I repeat,
cooter flooding into the COURIER Facebook page,
one after another.
Not to make light of the situation, but I admit that I
could not stop laughing. Some tense citizens ques-
tioned the papers journalism ethics, while those of-
fended by the behavior of the employees delivered
fiery judgment. Others took the adolescent humor ap-
proach, with observations of reaching third base and a
few locals parodying the situation with images from
classic, classless television favorites like Dukes of
Hazard and Family Guy.
Although one conspiracy-minded commenter posted
the words big brother in response to the video, an-
other pointed out that there is clearly no right to privacy
while standing at the front door of somebodys house!
The expression Big Brother comes from George Or-
wells infamous novel Nineteen Eighty Four and
refers to the seemingly benevolent but ultimately op-
pressive authority that oversees our every move. In all
fairness, Im not with the commenter on this one. As I
see it, the resident has every right to surveil his own
front door.
Having said that, it should be noted that the verb
surveil is still not entirely accepted by English purists.
It was formed through the linguistic process known as
backformation. Whereas most English words are cre-
ated by adding prefixes and suffixes to base words, this
one was formed backwards. It came to English as the
noun surveillance, and speakers started removing the
perceived suffix to create the verb surveil. Other
words formed in this manner are edit from editor,
laze from lazy and bartend from bartender.
The word surveillance comes from the French sur-
veillance, oversight, supervision, a watch. This word
was derived from a combination of sur- over and
veiller, to watch. It is believed that the expression was
created to describe committees formed in France in the
1700s to monitor the actions and movements of suspect
persons, outsiders and dissidents. Im guessing that in
the Claremont situation, the homeowner was not star-
ing down from a huge video monitor watching over the
groping outsiders. I suspect he viewed the video in dis-
belief, shocked by what he saw.
Video comes from the Latin video, I see. So, the
logical question is what exactly did he see? Interested
readers will need to see the video for themselves to in-
terpret the level of lewdness. Im sticking with my ear-
lier description, hanky-panky, which says a lot.
Hanky-panky is a slang term from British English,
which originally meant trickery. It came from hoky-
poky, deception or fraud, which was derived from
hocus-pocus. Perhaps Golden State Water actually
knows of this wordy connection and is purposely
spreading hanky-panky around Claremont doorsteps to
subconsciously assist with trickery and deception. Did
the libidinous hired hands get a promotion for a job
well done? Probably not. This seems like a case of can-
vassers taking matters into their own hands.
Whatever the case, I thank the covert Claremont
resident for sharing his video with the rest of us, as it
brought a bit of levity to a tense and tiring water debate.

CITY
IN THE
Could it be that somebodys watching me?
by Mellissa Martinez
R
andom thoughts coming in during
a cool breeze on a summer
evening in Claremont:
Should I feel guilty enjoying the sound of a water
fountain? After all, were in the midst of a severe
drought, and some towns up north are rationing water.
Is a Kindle the new cheap paperback?
Cheap paperback. There may well be a day soon
when people wont know what a paperback is. Cheap
or not.
Then again, the COURIER is beating the odds
when it comes to the printed page .
The Colleges really arent so dead now. In the past
month, Ive run into many groups of people, including
one lugging cellos.
Speaking of fountains, the plaza in the Village
what used to be called Village West when it was new
not many years ago and is now, arguably, just part of
the Villagehas gotten to be quite the hot spot. Pretty
much whenever I go by, theres a crowd or at least a
fair number of people. Most remarkably, there is more
often than not, a group playing music (not a named
group, like on Friday evenings, but just friends getting
together and jamming).
But isnt the fountain there an accident waiting to
happen? Sure, its fun for children to play on during a
warm day or evening, but its also oh-so easy to slip on
those wet step formations. Recently , I saw an unsuper-
vised little boy almost fall.
And what was that mother doing taking pictures of
her children playing on another part of the fountain?
Shouldnt she have been warning them instead of
egging them on?
Im all for adventures and trying new things, and
all the more so in the summer, but theres something to
be said for safety first.
At least she wasnt taking a selfie. That whole thing
needs to be done.
For a while last month, soccer was the new base-
ball, partly probably thanks to Time Warner Cable.
But which is more of a poetic delight to hear on a
warm summer eveningVin Scully or that man who
yells GOOOOOOOOOAL?
Camping in the backyard sounds fun. Until I re-
member that the automatic sprinklers come on at 5 a.m.
At least I remembered.
Its a real drag that my house heats up in the
evening. Just like an oven. Even when the day wasnt
that hot, and even when I close the house up during the
day and open it up at dinner time.
I think this is the worst thing about summer. The
hot nights.
Its amazing how much a few degrees matter.
Ninety-eight degrees is so much cooler than 101 de-
grees. One hundred degrees is where I draw the line
and close up the house.
Im surprised that I enjoy sitting outdoors when its
95 degrees. Just give me a nice tree to sit under and Im
happy.
But all bets off when that humidity kicks in.
I love it that theres live outdoor music in the Vil-
lage, but I rather sit in a park to listen to music. Its
cooler, and I dont feel like Im blocking the way.
The concerts in Memorial Park on Monday
evenings are nice, but for a special little getaway, try
out the Levitt Pavillion in Pasadenas Memorial Park,
with free concerts by a variety of groups five nights a
week through most of August. Plus the lights in the
trees are extra lovely.
The Levitt on the Lawn concerts at Scripps College
are also extra lovely. How about having more than just
three a year?
Sublime does a cool riff on the Gershwins Sum-
mertime from Porgy and Bess. Check it out on
YouTubeor it will no doubt be on KROQ in the next
few hours.
Yes, Bob Marley put reggae music on the map but,
for my money, Peter Tosh is that much more soulful
and intense.
Ive decided that I should have an apartment in
Santa Monicawhere I can crash when I go to the
beach or for those weeks when it gets too hot here or
when I dont feel like making the trek back to Clare-
mont late on a Saturday night after seing a play .
Or wouldnt it be nice if Claremont was between
Santa Monica and Venice? I think it would fit right in.
Those who use a wheelchair can ask for a beach
wheelchair at Topanga Canyon Beach and probably at
other beaches. I recently did this when I forgot to take
my manual chair, and it was greatlike a lawn chair
with big rubber buggy wheels and way easier to push
on the sand. It was one of those times when I when
happy I forgot something.
That day, I also discovered a great vegan caf in
Echo Park called the Sage Bistro, where I had a killer
Jamaican jerk burger made with tempeh and with a
side of fried plantains. The buffalo cauliflower wings
were also tasty.
From there, I went to the opening for Raul
Pizarros show at the Claremont Forum. I have written
here before about this disabled artists wonderful,
dreamy, remarkably glowing work.
Summer is all about such days of wandering and
discovering.
How long will it be before everyone on the beach
will be reading Kindles, iPads and iPhones? Theyre
certainly easier to deal when it gets breezy.
I always felt that American Apparel was a bad fit in
the Village, and now, with the recent tussle between
Dov Charney and its board, I feel more eewwww
than ever when I go by. I still say Urban Outfitters
would be better if we have to have a chain there.
Is the Fourth of July the new Christmas? It cer-
tainly snuck up on me this year. And dont look now,
but Christmas will be here before we know it.

Should the Tea Party call the shots?
Dear Editor:
I have lived and worked in Claremont
since 1990 and I just received thefourth
two in the lastfew daysslick, full-col-
or, oversized mailer from California Af-
fordable Water Advocates (CAWA),
founded by Donna Lowe, unsuccess-
ful California Assembly candidate and
founder of the Claremont Conserva-
tivesTea Party.
Ms. Lowe has presented CAWA as a
grass roots movement that apparently
began months ago with a business trip to
Sacramento by Ms. Lowe, and aninci-
dental meeting with public relations rep-
resentatives of Golden State Water Com-
pany (GSW). In their mailers, they tout
their compromise agreement,negotiated
directly with Golden State Water, delib-
erately circumventing the elected repre-
sentatives of the city.
In one of the two June mailers, large yel-
low letters advertised: Lower water
bills. Local control. NO $135 million wa-
ter tax.Wow, that sounds great!
A bold header introduces a 20-point
commitment made with GSW but there
are no real details other than five bullet
points: Lower water bills, local control,
commitment to conservation, alterna-
tives to the WRAM and, the real kicker,
supporting local schools. Supporting lo-
cal schools? Really? It goes on to state that
CAWA and GSW will create a STEM
curriculum to teach Claremont students the
value of water, along with critical science,
engineering and mathematics skills.
Where is this curriculum and why
would this be part of the agreement? Did
they consult with Claremont Unified
School District on this? What creden-
tialsdo CAWA and GSW present to sup-
port their ability to write this curriculum?
Thisresembles something the Tea Party
and their billionaire benefactorshavesup-
ported in Kansas.
The most recent mailer shows the
firstfivepoints of the 20-point Memo-
randum of Understanding (MOU), calling
attention to 1: Lower water bills for res-
idential customers.Again, thatsounds
great, but why has GSW been raising rates
and requesting more increases from
CPUC at every opportunity? I read the en-
tire MOU provided by the COURIER on
their website last month. I recommend all
Claremont residents do the same. The
ninth point on their flyer, while not high-
lighted by CAWA, is particularly in-
sightful: Support for CAWA intervener
status. Golden State Water shall support
CAWAs direct involvement in the
ratemaking process.
The ninth point goes on to give CAWA
power to provide references for legal coun-
sel, and address changes to service, and
to allow CAWA to determine who par-
ticipates in the rate-making process.
I am not a lawyer but this sounds a lot
like CAWA, aka Claremont Conservatives
Tea Party, will be calling the shots when
it comes to rates, supplied legal counsel
by GSW and other financial support
from CPUC, and be the designated enti-
ty responsible for defending the water
rights of the good citizens of Claremont.
The initiative to permit the city to get
extra funds to acquire Claremonts water
utility is slated for the November ballot.
GSW has a track record of pricing that
completely undermines any relationship
of trust they may have had with their cus-
tomers. They complain about costs in-
curred by the city in this matter, but Clare-
mont residents are smart enough to know
that as a for-profit company, Golden
State, of course, passes their costs along
to their customers, including legal feesand
PR expenses.
Who is paying for CAWA and these
mailers? Is Donna Lowe paying out of her
own pocket or is GSW financing this
grass roots campaign?
Water is in short supply all over the state
and pleas from the governor to voluntar-
ily conserve have met with mixed results,
especially in southern California where us-
age appears to have increased slightly.
Raising the cost of water usage, en-
hancing incentives for converting to
drought-tolerant landscaping and in-
creased fines for waste are all upon us. No
matter who owns the utility, it is clear that
it will no longer be business as usual and
price schedules must be transparent
andfairly applied throughout each region.
Water rights affect all citizens and are
too important to be left to a rogue group
of politically-motivated activists in cahoots
with the privately-owned,for-profit com-
pany charged with stewardship of the life
blood of Claremont andher citizens.

Claremont
San Dimas, where have you gone?
Dear Editor:
I want to connect a couple of dots that
Ellen Taylor, in her COURIER viewpoint
and letter, pointed out.
In 1928, the sleepy little town of Clare-
mont, with only its 2000 residents, decided
to have a small, private company located
in San Dimas provide its water. But, not
in the slightest astonishingly, that small
neighborhood company has morphed
into the large, privately-held Golden
State Water of today.
A little online research shows that the
original Southern California Water grew
into California Cities Water, then became
Arden-Cordova Water and then expand-
ed into GSW. But GSW itself is now a
subsidiary of American States Water,
which announces it is the water deliver-
er for 75 California communities and is
listed on the New York Stock Exchange
(AWR). My, how that darling little neigh-
borhood company has grown up, up and
away.
Secondly, the city of Felton found itself
in a parallel situation. Its water was sup-
plied by California American Waterlike
GSW, a behemoth company. But Cal-
Am is itself a subsidiary of American Wa-
ter Worksa water supplier to 14 million
people across the country. However,
American Water Works, and at the bottom
of the heap the city of Felton, have gone
Claremonts ultimate provider one better:
they have been snapped up by a foreign
company, RWE, a German electric utili-
ties company based in Essen, North
Rhine-Westphalia. Through its various
subsidiaries.
Given that we live in a market econo-
my in which larger companies acquire
smaller ones and, given globalization, how
long will it be before GSW, and thus Clare-
monts water, is snatched up by some in-
ternational corporation? San Dimas,
where have you gone? Germany is one
thing but say China? Who knows?

tion of every letter. Letters and viewpoints will be
published at the discretion of the editor.
I
note in letters to the editor that
Claremont Affordable Water Advo-
cates (CAWA) is the target of a lot of
vitriolic criticism. As a CAWA member,
although I dread the inevitable recrimina-
tions, I reluctantly respond as an individ-
ual, not as a spokesperson for CAWA or
Golden State Water Company (GSW).
I write to rebut assertions made in letters in the July
4 edition of the COURIER. Contrary to comments by
John Roseman, CAWA is not a ...thinly disguised
Golden State Water public relations shill... The or-
ganization is absolutely not owned, operated, em-
ployed by or in any manner compensated by Golden
State Water Company. While I do not know all mem-
bers of CAWA intimately, I am confident that is true
for every individual member of CAWA.
I also reject the speculative insinuation by Dan Del-
lOsa that CAWA is in any way affiliated with or an
agent of the city of Claremont. Unfortunately, our re-
lationship with the city is rather frigid if not outright
adversarial. Parker Emerson queried, Who gave
these five people the power to negotiate with anyone
on my behalf? Not me! CAWA, in fact, is negotiat-
ing for the benefit of our own members, and not nec-
essarily on behalf of others. We feel we have the
right to negotiate for ourselves, with or without Mr.
Emersons permission, and are pleased if others also
benefit from our efforts.
Similarly, I contest Arnold Tuasons contention that
The memorandum of understanding between Golden
State Water and Claremont Affordable Water Advo-
cates (CAWA) is worthless. Our MOU is a major re-
sult of our partnership. We continue to believe it is the
best alternative and offers the lowest consumer cost
option available at this time. Perhaps there is misun-
derstanding about the usefulness of an MOU. Con-
sider this analogy: if the rate-making process were a
dangerous mountain road, the MOU could be consid-
ered guard rails; it helps keep negotiations from get-
ting too far off track.
So who are CAWA? We are private citizens, resi-
dents of Claremont, who have banded together to find
substantive relief from onerous escalating costs of
residential water. We seek the optimally lowest com-
bination of rates and other expenses that minimizes
our water bills.
How did we come to be? Some of us initially con-
tacted GSW to investigate remedies for and, to some
extent, to complain about high water costs. To our
surprise, we found GSW eager to work with a citizen
group to improve the situation. For whatever reasons
you wish to attribute their willingness, they have been
much more cooperative with us than has the city of
Claremont. Due to these circumstances, CAWA part-
nered with them to advocate an approach to contain
costs while maintaining private ownership of the
company.
Besides receiving a rather intense education in
water issues, we are able to access unembellished
documents of the legal cases presented by both Clare-
mont city and GSW. These are readily available to
anyone who wishes to view them by visiting
www.gswater.com/claremont and clicking the links
under Golden State Water Urges Transparency from
the City of Claremont. I believe you will find much
more transparency there than from the city of Clare-
mont. The city claims to have data but wont reveal it
because it is exempt from disclosure or that the
documents are confidential because of ongoing
lawsuitsone of which is a suit to produce those very
documents. Regardless, the information is not readily
available from the city.
Also, California Public Utilities Commission proto-
cols include provisions for consumer groups (such as
CAWA) to participate in CPUC negotiations as di-
rect interveners. This means direct consumer partici-
pation on a level comparable to both GSW and the
city of Claremont. How is that for local control?
CAWA intends to serve in that role and encourages
other interested consumer groups to similarly partici-
pate.
Finally, CAWA strives for the best lowest cost op-
tion. If the city of Claremont were to make available
data as compelling as that from GSW, and were to
produce a credible MOU with more favorable con-
sumer benefits than our existing MOU, CAWA mem-
bers would certainly rethink their position. I am
distressed so many seem to strongly prefer eminent
domain to the detriment of exploring other creative
options.
CAWA: Not your enemy by Bruce Cathcart
VIEWPOINT
G
olden State Water
Company recently
submitted its 2014
General Rate Case (GRC) to
determine rates for 2016 to
2018 with the California Pub-
lic Utilities Commission
(CPUC), a filing that is re-
quired every three years for
regulated utilities.
The good news for Claremont resi-
dential customers is that our proposal
will lower bills in 2016, maintain lower
bills than current totals in 2017, and en-
courages high-water-use customers to
use water wisely during the states
worst drought in recent history.
The GRC filing launches an 18-
month process where the CPUC and
Office of Ratepayer Advocates will
scrutinize Golden State Waters pro-
posal. The filing details all the costs as-
sociated with providing quality, reliable
water service and how those costs
would be recovered through rates. The
proposal further analyzes the estimated
bill impact for all customers.
Golden State Water must show evi-
dence to support all projected expenses
and infrastructure investments. This
process, which is open to the public, in-
cludes community meetings, eviden-
tiary hearings, the opportunity to protest
and an administrative law judges re-
view, and is arguably the most exten-
sive and transparent ratemaking process
for any provider.
The GRC proposal reflects Golden
State Waters effort to encourage water-
use efficiency, reduce costs and rates,
and deliberately reflects the compro-
mise agreement we reached with the
Claremont Affordable Water Advocates
(CAWA). The agreement is specific, de-
tailed and defines a blueprint of best
practices that residents and Golden
State Water believe is an unprecedented
collaboration to benefit current and fu-
ture generations of Claremont residents.
Here are the details:
We are reducing the rates in the first
three tiers, where a vast majority of cus-
tomers fall, while also introducing a
fourth tier rate for customers that use
more than 33,660 gallons or 45 ccf per
month. Under the proposed rate struc-
ture, average residential customers
using 15,708 gallons or 21 ccf will save
about $19 a year without changing any
habits.
Secondly, we are committed to a sig-
nificant local conservation education
program that enhances Claremonts tra-
dition of being an environmentally-
friendly community. Conserving our
most precious natural resource is criti-
cal for our environment and will help
customers lower their water bills.
The compromise agreement also
calls for Golden State Water to continue
to propose the lowest possible water
supply costs through a regional plan-
ning approach. The breakdown results
in lower costs to Claremont residents
due to the high volume of water Clare-
mont uses compared to other cities in
the region, and reflects a more favor-
able cost ratio of groundwater to im-
ported water.
Finally, the compromise agreement
provides greater local control for resi-
dents and direct involvement in the
ratemaking process. CAWA will file for
intervener status in the GRC, which
Golden State Water has agreed to sup-
port, and they will be able to review
and oppose any specific expense or pro-
posal that they do not feel is appropri-
ate.
The modest increase in bill totals that
customers would see in 2018 is neces-
sary due to the $12.2 million in planned
upgrades and replacement of key ele-
ments of Claremonts water system to
ensure the delivery of clean, safe and
reliable drinking water. We are invest-
ing $4.1 million in 2014 alone, and
have invested approximately $20 mil-
lion over the past 14 years. These in-
vestments will ensure that the water
needs of future generations of Clare-
mont residents, schools and businesses
will be met.
At the same time, we are also work-
ing to reduce our expenses and passing
along those savings to customers. For
example, at the time of the last GRC,
Golden State Water had eleven officers.
Since that time, the company has re-
duced its executive ranks by eliminat-
ing two officer positions: an executive
vice president and a vice president. The
company has also reduced its work-
force in other areas in a manner that
does not impact water service. Our goal
is to reduce costs, wherever possible,
without cutting corners or sacrificing
quality with regard to your water serv-
ice.

usage at www.gswater.com/claremont.
VIEWPOINT
GSWs new proposal introduces new local rate design
by Denise Kruger, senior vice president of regulated utilities at Golden State Water Company
S
o what about this MOU?
The 20 commitments
and a critique can be
found at www.claremont
flow.org, but the short answer
is that many of them Golden
State Water already does,
other points are already re-
quired by law, everything re-
quires that GSW profit
margins be maintained, and
good water quality isnt prom-
ised if rates are reduced.
The real kicker is at the end where it
says the whole agreement can be re-
voked at any time! So we could aban-
don efforts to buy the water system and
then a bit later GSW could simply go
back to their old ways. Who profits
from this MOU?
Realizing that this MOU wont fool
many people, GSW through Claremont
Affordable Water Advocates (CAWA)
is trying to confuse us by using paid
signature-gatherers to put competing
measures on the ballot. The only peti-
tions circulating are ones that would
help GSW and not Claremont.
One petition is calling for a vote on
$135 million in bonds. The appraised
value of the water system is only $55
million, but even if we had to pay as
much as $80 million, current water
rates would cover the whole cost. The
debt repayment would just replace pay-
ing GSW, not cost more.
If the price is over $80 million, then
rates would go up for a while to cover
additional bonds but as the bonds are
paid, costs go down and we would own
the system. GSW costs never go down.
You can see graphs showing repayment
projections on the Claremont FLOW
website. City staff set $135 million as
the worst-case scenario and so the bond
measure is for $55 million. But no one
knows what the actual cost will be so
we may not have to use all or even part
of that. Contrary to misleading CAWA
advertising, revenue bonds are not
taxes and they would be repaid solely
by the water bills.
Another petition, long and confus-
ingly written, asks voters to approve a
change to the Municipal Code so any-
thing to do with water that would re-
quire a revenue bond would have to
come to a general vote of the electorate.
Do you really want to have to wait
for an election to be scheduled and
votes counted before repairs to the sys-
tem could be carried out if we own it?
This change would make running the
system impossible, which of course is
GSWs intent. Do you want to have to
decide whether or not to approve every-
thing or would you prefer to leave it to
the people we elected to approve rev-
enue bonds, the city council? We
elected people we believe have our best
interests at heart and are willing to
spend a lot of time and effort working
for our good. They always have public
discussion before they make decisions
so it isnt as if we have no voice now
we do, and they listen.
Expect more distractions and un-
truths, and smoke and mirrors, because
Claremont makes GSW a lot of money
and they dont want to lose it. But we
deserve better and we can get it if we
have local control of the water system.
Dont sign any petitions and dont be-
lieve all that CAWA says. The choice is
simpleshould we be the masters of
our fate or should Golden State Water?
Rumor has it that GSW has given
their PR firm about a million dollars,
some of which is funneling through
CAWA, to oppose Claremonts water
bond measure. Claremont FLOW vol-
unteers are relying on contributions
from fellow residents to fund getting
the word out. Donations can be sent to

T
he Claremont Hills Wilderness
Park (CHWP) is one step closer to
a master plan, thanks to Claremont
residents who dedicated their time and en-
ergy to administer surveys to park visitors
on behalf of MIG Consultants.
As previously reported in the COURIER, MIG has
been given the daunting task of completing a compre-
hensive master plan for the Claremont Hills Wilder-
ness Park. The goal is to develop a blueprint to
manage the park that will balance environmental
preservation, recreational needs, neighborhood im-
pacts and funding considerations for years to come.
The city-owned 2,023-acre preserve, with its 20
miles of fire roads and single-path trails extending
deep into the San Gabriel foothills, continues to at-
tract a mountain of visitors, creating the challenge of
finding a balance between resource protection and
park use.
In an effort coordinated by longtime Claremont res-
ident Meg Mathies, MIG conducted 16 two-hour exit
surveys at five CHWP access points, a process that
began on May 5 and concluded on July 18. More than
75 volunteers participated in conducting these sur-
veys, including members of the Claremont Wildlands
Conservancy (CWC), Friends of the Hillsides, stu-
dents from five of the Claremont Colleges, residents
of Pilgrim Place, members of Technical Advisory
Committee (TAC) and the Senior Bike Group as well
as a member of city staff and various friends and fam-
ily members.
Two types of information was gathered by the Visi-
tor Intercept Survey: 1) a count of visitors exiting the
park with the two-hour period, and 2) a written ques-
tionnaire in which individuals reported on their expe-
rience in the park and made suggestions for
improvements.
The answers to questions such as Where did you
park today? and Currently, what detracts from your
experience while at the CHWP? should assist MIG
in developing a master plan addressing problem areas
within the park.
Melissa Payne, a Rancho Cucamonga resident who
recreates at the park three times a week, supports the
citys efforts for park improvements and offers up a
suggestion of her own. I think it would be nice if
there were more parking. I buy the parking pass at the
city every year so I dont have to worry about parking
permits, but on the weekends its so crowded. You
have to circle and circle the lot looking for a spot or
park all the way down the street so now I just come
during the week after work. Im glad that theyre
doing these survey. Its good that people care.

fill out survey forms for volunteers Yohei Takemuro
and Karen Hagen at the Mills Avenue trailhead to the
Claremont Hills Wilderness Park. The three room-
mates from Pomona say they use the park two to
three times a week.
WILDERNESS PARK SURVEY/next page
Preliminary numbers pertaining to
the exit survey reveal that a total of
2,160 people completed the survey and
3,799 people were counted as they ex-
ited the park during the survey periods.
The final results will be released to the
city in mid-August.
The completion of the intercept sur-
veys is a milestone for the Wilderness
Master Plan, says Claremonts Assis-
tant City Manager Colin Tudor. From
these surveys, the city will be able to
see usage patterns based on visitor be-
havior. We will be sharing this informa-
tion with the community at a
community workshop on October 20
and encourage the community to partic-
ipate.
The recent Visitor Intercept Survey is
just one of several methods that will be
used by MIG to obtain information
about park usage. Beginning in early
August, an online survey will be posted
on the citys website to gather more in-
formation from park users and resi-
dents, and neighborhood surveys in
impact zones have been proposed for
the fall.
The city is expected to release its
staff report to TAC in September, in-
cluding potential master plan outcomes
and staffing options for consideration
as well as general cost estimates to ac-
cess options.
A TAC workshop will be held on Oc-
tober 11 at the Hughes Center, where
members will go over all the data and
give potential outcome plans for con-
sideration. The city staff led meeting
will include morning and afternoon ses-
sions as well as presentations from
MIG. The workshop is open to the pub-
lic, however, comments will only be
welcomed at the end of the sessions
with imposed timed limits.
Residents will have an opportunity to
offer their input at a community meet-
ing to be held on Monday, October 20
at 6 p.m. at Taylor Hall. All are encour-
aged to attend.
If all goes as scheduled, a draft of the
Claremont Hills Wilderness Park Mas-
ter Plan will be ready for city review by
March 2015.

Wilderness Park preservation planning by Mark von Wodtke
W
ill the Wilderness
Park Master Plan
address the follow-
ing questions with regard to
preservation?
What is the best way to deal with
wildfire potential which continues to
threaten development in Palmer
Canyon, Padua Hills, and in North
Claremont as well as Claraboya? Ex-
pensive lawsuits have resulted from
wildfires. Claremont is also paying a lot
for clearance of vegetation, disrupting
natural ecosystems, in the Wilderness
Park. Better solutions involve shifting
to natural ecosystems that are less fire-
prone.
For example, the ACORN Project
has been endeavoring to regenerate Oak
woodlands in Palmer Canyon below
Padua Hills. The Sycamore Canyon
Restoration involved removing Euca-
lyptus (which are non-native and
highly-flammable) and replacing them
with native Sycamores and Oaks.
Can Thomson Creek Channel with-
stand future high-intensity rainfall with-
out flooding? Although this channel
was designed for 100-year events,
greater intensity storms are likely on a
regular basis. Consequently, there is
risk of flooding along the channel as it
flows through Northern Claremont.
Creating micro-catchments, like we
have done in Sycamore Canyon, can
slow runoff from the watersheds in the
Wilderness Park, helping to reduce the
risks for flooding along Thomson
Creek Channel. Retaining more water
in the Wilderness Park also enhances
wildlife habitat.
How do we manage deer populations
if the natural predators are pushed out
by too many people using park? Al-
though the deer can help graze grass-
lands, too many deer can impact native
vegetation such as Toyon (Heteromeles
arbutifolia) which has red berries that
attract wildlife such as scrub Jays.
These birds plant acorns as they feed
from the oaks.
Will Johnsons Pasture continue to be
a Pasture? This open landscape has not
been grazed in more than 40 years.
Grazing typically helps keep grasses as
the climax species in an ecosystem.
Much of the Claremont Foothills has
coastal sage and chaparral as climax
species that fuels wildfires.
Can we continue to regenerate Oak
Woodlands that used to be a larger
component of this ecosystem? Oak
woodlands have considerably more
benefits for the airshed and watershed,
as well as for wildlife, than the sage and
chaparral that now dominate the
Wilderness Park. It is also easier to
manage wildfire in Oak woodlands
than in coastal sage and chaparral.
Are Bigcone Douglas-fir (Pseudot-
suga macrocarpa) sustainable in the
Wilderness Park? Like many species,
these trees are migrating up the moun-
tain because of climate change. This
species is doing better in Mt. Baldy Vil-
lage and above, but poorer here in the
Foothills.
Preservation elements in the Wilder-
ness Park Master Plan provide impor-
tant vehicles for obtaining funding to
address each of these questions:
A Wildfire Management Element to
secure funding from LA County Fire
Department and possibly from insurance
companies, helping prevent the spread of
wildfires into the urban interface.
A Watershed Management Element
for funding from Flood Control District
for micro-catchments and vegetative
restoration for preventing flooding along
the Thompson Creek Channel.
An Airshed Management Element
could help get funds to regenerate Oak
woodlands and other native vegetation
that filters air and sequesters carbon
dioxide. Using grants from State Cap
and Trade Funds, as well as AQMD
Funds the City could continue regener-
ating Oak woodlands and Sycamores in
our Wilderness Park.
A Vegetation and Wildlife Manage-
ment Element, which could be used to
focus research by local colleges and
universities to secure funding from
wildlife preservation foundations.
Learning from almost 15 years of
working to regenerate oaks and other
native plants in the Wilderness Park,
with funding from the Chapman
Forestry Foundation, I have found that
soilwhich can retain moisture and
nutrientsis the key to successful
restoration.
Currently, I am involved in research at
the Lyle Center for Regenerative Studies
(LCRS) at Cal Poly Pomona exploring
the use of inoculated biochar along with
compost to enhance soils for better sur-
vival rates for planting in the wild.
Lets make sure that the plan ad-
dresses these issues to help Claremont
get funding necessary to deal with
them.

Lore M. Dormer, a longtime Clare-
mont resident, died on July 2, 2014.
She was 89.
She was born in Stuttgart, Germany
in 1925 and earned a masters degree
from Eberhard Karls University in
Tbingen, Germany. In 1954, she met
Major Thomas L. Dormer, then a cap-
tain in the US Army who was stationed
at Rivers Barracks in Giessen, Ger-
many as part of the 331st Communica-
tion Reconnaissance Company. They
were married soon after and moved to
Claremont in 1961.
Mrs. Dormer taught part-time at sev-
eral of the Claremont Colleges and in
the Claremont public school system.
She received her PhD at UC Riverside
in 1973 and taught European studies
and German there until her retirement
in 1987.
Mrs. Dormer was active in promoting
her areas of expertise, especially turn-of-
the-century Viennese culture and litera-
ture. In 1975, she published a biography
of Viennese novelist, librettist, poet,
dramatist and essayist Hugo von Hof-
mannsthal. A number of her articles on
subjects like Austrian author and critic
Felix Salten were printed in journals
such as Major Figures of Turn-of-the-
Century Austrian Literature. In 1976,
while serving as visiting professor at
Claremont Graduate School, Mrs.
Dormer arranged a three-day seminar
called Vienna and the Modern Move-
ment.
Mrs. Dormer was a gourmet chef
who was especially fond of French
cooking and enjoyed oil painting, with
flowers as her preferred subject. She
was an avid gardener who took particu-
lar pride in her fine roses, and a cat-
lover who always had a feline
companion over the years. Mrs.
Dormer loved to exercise her sharp
mind. She invested in a PC long before
any of her friends and enjoyed playing
computer games with her grandchil-
dren, who she adored. Along with read-
ing books voraciously, she regularly
pored through the Los Angeles Times
and the COURIER, writing letters to
the editor when a particular subject
caught her interest.
She had the opportunity to travel
widely, including many visits to
Hawaii, which she loved, one memo-
rable trip to China, and yearly trips to
Europe that always included a stop in
Germany. Mrs. Dormer was very social
and enjoyed visiting friends across the
globe, from the Pacific Northwest to
England, Switzerland and Austria.
After retirement, she threw herself
into volunteer work at St. Ambrose
Church, Joslyn Senior Center, Clare-
mont High School and the Claremont
library. She was a longtime supporter of
many local nonprofits, including Pil-
grim Place and International Place of
the Claremont Colleges. Mrs. Dormer
was a devout Episcopalian and cher-
ished her prayer group, her book group
and her many friends in academia,
Claremont and in Germany.
Mrs. Dormer is predeceased by her
beloved husband, Major Thomas L.
Dormer, who died in 1988. She is sur-
vived by her son and daughter-in-law,
Ken and Danuta Dormer of Huntington
Beach; by her daughter and son-in-law,
Claudia and Buck Snyder of Clare-
mont; by her stepdaughter, Michelle
Wright of Palm Springs; and by her
grandchildren, Adam and Heather Sny-
der of Newport Beach and Aaron Sny-
der of Claremont.
A memorial service will be held on
Saturday, August 2 at 10 a.m. at St.
Ambrose Episcopal Church, 830 W.
Bonita Ave. in Claremont. A reception
will follow. Mrs. Dormers ashes will
be inurned at the Oregon Trail Memo-
rial Cemetery in Bridgeport, Nebraska.
With respect and gratitude, the fam-
ily suggests that donations be made in
Lore Dormers name to VNA Hospice
and Palliative Care of Southern Califor-
nia, www.vnasocal.org.

OBITUARIES
I
dyllwild, a village nestled in
the mountains above Palm
Springs at 6,000 feet, plays
host to those who want to study
and immerse themselves in the
arts.
The campus of Idyllwild School of the
Arts, located just outside of the village, is
a private school for young people who
specialize in artistic subjects. In the sum-
mer, the programs are open to allchil-
dren, teens, adults and families who wish
to explore and try their hand at ceramics,
jewelry construction, printing, painting,
dance, music, film making, poetry and
writing. Many years ago, it was part of
USC and was known as ISOMATA, at-
tracting great teachers and performers
and, as my parents had a house there, we
regularly attended wonderful folk con-
certs on warm summer evenings to lis-
ten to the likes of Pete Seeger.
They have now expanded to special
periods including a Native American
Week when various Native American
artists teach traditional silversmithing,
pottery, weaving, herbal crafts and cook-
ing. I had previously attended several
printing classes and a print and paper-
making class. This summer, I decided to
move away from my preferred choice of
art to the craft of writingspecifically
memoir writing. I like to challenge my-
self and this would certainly be different
from anything I have done before, which
was both exciting and scary.
The week I attended, the usual
amount of small children and teens were
involved in music both classical and
jazz, film making and dance as well as
the visual arts. The adults were busy
making handcrafted books, assemblages
from rejected objects, photography,
painting and printmaking, as well as
writing. The campus itself is quite large.
All the buildings are of wood and are
tucked among the pines, the oaks and
manzanitas. The pines have a lovely
smell, especially in the early morning
and it is nice when mixed in with sage
giving off a sharp odor that is at once
herbal, fresh and resin laced. The man-
zanita bushes, always one of my fa-
vorites with their twisted branches and
red pealing bark, are all over hugging the
taller trees. The ground is covered with
the usual leaves as and well chewed pine
cone innards, totally stripped of their
seeds and scattered around, gifts from the
squirrels.
I stayed on campus in one of the
dorms. All of the dorm rooms have at
least two sets of bunk beds so, when one
chooses a private room as I did, you au-
tomatically get three very quiet, invisible
roommates. Each room has its own bath-
room. These rooms are old and tired and
hot at this time of year. There is no air
conditioning nor fans. I signed up for the
meal plan but would not do that again.
Lunch is open to enrolled students but
breakfast and dinner come on the meal
plan. It was just plain bad food. I would
probably choose to stay off campus and
eat my evening meal in town.
The class, which is what I went for,
was better than great. There were a max-
imum of 10 students, eight were from
southern California. Everyone was inter-
esting and a good bond developed
among us all and we tended to gravitate
together during meal times as we en-
joyed each others company.
Our teacher, Amy Friedman, was dy-
namic. She was very active physically in
her presentations using her hands to il-
lustrate her words and moving around
her table as she demonstrated her sug-
gestions. It was a challenging class. We
began by writing from prompts such as
The Age I Feel I Am, or A Gift Once
Given That Meant A Lot or What I
Fear Is or Someone I Envy. We would
take that prompt and just write.
When getting into the writing, I often
found that I was taken to a place I didnt
know and that I was writing about things
I had not planned to do. These were only
small writes and were just first drafts. We
would then read them to the group.
When I have been involved in other writ-
ing workshops the students work was
usually critiqued by the leader and by the
other students by saying, This is what I
liked/didnt like about the piece or
Using more visual description would
make it better. But Amy had us ask
questions and one person wrote them
down for the writer. The writer would not
answer verbally but could then
choose on the basis of what the ques-
tions were how to proceed to open up
the piece or not. It made the reading
out loud a safe experience for the
writer. We also felt that we had been
heard and had some idea what to do
next.
In the afternoons, we met with the
teacher and did homework. At the li-
brary, where we went to do our writing,
we could work on the computers or have
our writing printed for the class. A newly
published writer came to visit and spent
an hour telling us her personal story of
how she eventually got published after
years of trying. In the evenings, there
were programs on campus. They ranged
from poetry readings, art talks, tjazz per-
formances and young student music
recitals. On the last day, our group along
with the fiction writing class had our
reading performance complete with a
microphone and a few outsiders to com-
plete the audience.
I am always impressed with the qual-
ity of the classes and the students who
come to work and learn at Idyllwild. I am
also impressed with the intensity of the
students of all ages. The high level of
work produced is indicative of the teach-
ing quality and the desire of the students
to learn.
As for each of us in class, we were to
make a schedule on our last afternoon
stating how many hours we were pre-
pared to work on our pieces and what our
goals were. The plan is to revisit and see
where we are in six months. Setting a
goal is difficultto stick with it is
harder.
Realizing that this is not just for a
fun experience but one we are to take
seriously enough to craft a single piece
or a book of memoir, to set the scene, tell
the story, narrate a life and persist until it
is a finished work of writing.

English teacher Fendy Wang, center, smiles as she receives her certificate from the Cal Sunshine and SLICE program during a ceremony on Tuesday in Claremont.
Ms. Wang assisted the Claremont teachers with the education portions of the Chinese students visit, as well as helping with chaperone duties.
Chinese students get SLICE of Claremont, US culture
O
n Tuesday, another group of kids
graduated in the City of Trees.
These werent your typical Clare-
mont students but, instead, 39 teens hail-
ing from Weihai Number One High
School in China.
The students, aged 15 to 17, gathered in a multipur-
pose room at El Roble, accompanied by teachers, ad-
ministrators and members of their host families to
celebrate a milestone. They had just finished the first-
ever CalSunshine SLICE program, a collaboration
between the Claremont Unified School District and a
foreign exchange program run by local education ad-
vocate and CUSD parent Wei Luo.
The students spent the previous week attending
SLICE summer enrichment classes, tackling subjects
ranging from filmmaking to volleyball. Working side-
by-side with American K-8 students allowed them to
be immersed in the English language.
By his sixth day in the United States, 16-year-old
Piao Wenquan, also known as Rocky by his Eng-
lish-speaking friends, was ready to talk about his new
experience. He finds that American students are very
cool and friendly. When asked what he wants to do
for a career, he paused a moment to consider.
You mean what is my dream? he asked. I want
to be an actor, but maybe it is impossible.
Along with providing a crash course in English,
SLICE exposed the students to a vastly different edu-
cational approach, according to Ma Quishi or Win-
ston, the student union president back at his high
school.
The students here behave very casually and the
teachers are more flexible, Winston said. In China,
classes are more formal.
I think class here is very relaxing, Wang Victo-
ria Jingyi agreed.
The graduation ceremony was in keeping with the
laid-back ambiance. After a lunch of teriyaki chicken,
the students shared what they learned in their SLICE
classes and in a homeroom course on American cul-
ture.
Claremont High School German teacher Jennifer
Tsai exposed the students to US institutions ranging
from the First Amendment to In-N-Out Burger. She
also took them on excursions to the Claremont Vil-
lage, including stops at eateries like Yogurtland, the
Village Grille and Casa de Salsa, a tour of City Hall
and a screening of Transformers at the Laemmle.
The group also took advantage of the proximity to
the Claremont Colleges, visiting the Butterfly Pavil-
ion at the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, em-
barking on a scavenger hunt at the Claremont
Colleges and viewing the Native American Collection
at the Pomona College Museum.
Ms. Tsai, who helps coordinate a German exchange
program at CHS, was approached by SLICE coordi-

dents were treated to traditional American diner food, including cheeseburgers, hot dogs and fries.

nator Jeremy Troche and asked to work
with the students from Weihei.
They are very, very polite and re-
spectful, and they are open to experi-
encing new things, she said.
Ms. Tsai also strived to draw out the
often-shy Chinese delegation, engaging
the students in exercises like a lively
debate on the merits of free speech and
another on whether teenagers should be
able to date or instead focus their en-
ergy on studying.
Studying is, indeed, a big
preoccupation for Chinese
teens. Joyce Kamau, whose
family hosted 17-year-old Lin
Huiliang, said that as soon as
he arrived, he got down to
business.
The first thing he wanted
was the password to the Wi-
Fi. Then he wanted to do
homework, she said.
At this point, these students are
doing nothing but preparing for the col-
lege entrance exam, Mr. Luo ex-
plained. It is very competitive, and
they take away a lot of pressure from
their families to get into a good col-
lege.
Corrina Comia, who has a 15-year-
old daughter at CHS, is hosting two
Chinese girls. Her family began hosting
German exchange students about eight
years ago and, since then, theyve wel-
comed students from Brazil and China.
We call our house the International
House, she joked. My daughter refers
to the fact that she has brothers and sis-
ters all over the world.
Ms. Comia really appreciates the
kindness of Chinese students. At the
same time, she worries a bit about
them.
I have to say out of all the students
weve hosted, they are probably the
most withdrawn, she said. I think its
just part of their culture, because they
study so much.
She took one group of Chinese teens
to Memorial Park to enjoy a concert in
the park, and was surprised by what
caught their interest.
They were so fascinated by the
playgroundthey wanted to play there
the whole time, Ms. Comia shared.
They say they never get to do stuff

like this in China. All they do is study,
study, study. What I hope they will take
back here a little bit of a sense of what
it means to play, what it means to be a
kid.
With trips to Disneyland and Univer-
sal Studios under their belts, it is likely
the Weihei students have gained a
greater sense of play. And despite their
restraint and the high educational
stakes, kids will be kids.
Shopping was a huge source of ex-
citement for the group, which had vis-
ited the Desert Hills outlet shopping
center in Cabazon. Most of the teens
were sporting popular US brands such
as Vans and Nike.
The students just-below-the-surface
boisterousness was evident during the
graduation celebration, when they in-
vited their host families to join a lively
game of crack-the-whip. It could also
be seen when a girl performed a dance
to Bring the Boys Out, a smash hit by
the Korean pop group Girls Generation.
She is usually really shy, Ms. Tsai
marveled. This is another side of her
were seeing.
Ms. Kamau had a fun tidbit to share.
When Lin accompanied her and her
son, CHS junior Joseph Ngechu, to the
mall, the Chinese teen dropped $200 on
Slipknot CDs. I love heavy metal, he
said.
This is the fifth year Mr. Luo has
brought students from Weihai to the
United States. Since he moved to
America in 1991, he has received a top-
notch education, including earning a
degree in education leadership from the
University of La Verne. His two chil-
dren attend Claremont schools, which
he says are excellent. Having benefited
so much from the American education
system, he feels motivated to promote
the best parts of the American educa-
tion system in China.
I think that the United States is very
strong in providing an environment
where students creativity, individuality
and personality are respected and nur-
tured along with critical thinking, he
said.
Mr. Luo believes the experience of
living with a host family is as critical as
the school component. Its important
to see the different culture, to observe
how family members interact, how we
eat and how we express and feel love in
American culture.
As Mr. Troche presented the students
with their certificates of completion, he
spoke of the value this visit brought to
SLICE as a whole.
Our students have really enjoyed
having you in class, he said. As much
as you have learned from our culture,
our students have learned from you.
Both Mr. Luo and Mr. Troche said
SLICE would likely welcome more
Chinese students next year. Mr. Luos
aim is to eventually take Claremont stu-
dents to Weihai Number One High
School. It would do much to expose US
students to the strengths of the Chinese
education system, which includes an
emphasis on hard work and self-im-
provement.
The US students would be able to
visit the campus and see how the stu-
dents are working over there, Mr. Luo
said. Maybe they would come back
and reflect on what they are doing in
school and make some kind of im-
provement.

GALLERIES
C
laudia Lennear is a
living piece of music
history.
Ms. Lennearwho got her big break
as one of the Ikettes with the Ike & Tina
Turner Revue and went on to perform
back-up vocals with some of the most
notable music acts of the 1970swill
make an appearance at Rhino Records
on Saturday, July 26 at 1 p.m.
The soul singer will be interviewed by
DJ Ike Rhythm on the Rhino Records
stage, with their conversation and per-
haps a song or two broadcast live on the
Pomona College radio station KSPC.
Ms. Lennear, a local who lives with
her front door in Pomona and back
door in Claremont, is not exactly new
to the Claremont Colleges. She earned
a degree in French literature from
Pitzer College.
A number of years ago, Ms. Lenn-
ear traded the music industry for
teaching, namely French and Spanish
and, after a stint at San Dimas High
School, is currently teaching at Mt.
San Antonio College.
The singer still keeps in touch with
some of her more famous friends
though, including Ms. Turner and
David Bowie, and enjoys flexing her
still-strong pipes from time to time.
I still sing in all the college choirs,
she said. Its a different kind of music,
not blues, rock or jazz but more classi-
cally-oriented. Its still singing nonethe-
less, which is what I think I was really
put on earth for.
Ms. Lennear pondered being a trans-
lator at the UN for a while but, early
on, she had an instinct that music was
her calling.
Theres no point in getting chafed el-
bows, trying to figure out the philosophy
of life, she said, miming the pose of
Rodins The Thinker. You just know.
Ms. Lennear has attracted some fresh
notice over the past year after being fea-
tured in the 2013 film 20 Feet from
Stardom, which won an Oscar for Best
Documentary Feature. The movie traces
the trajectories of some of the most
sought-after back-up singers, Darlene
Love, Merry Clayton, Tta Vega and
Lisa Fischer, among others. Ms. Lenn-
ears appearance in the movie has trig-
gered a resurgence of interest in a
woman with a powerhouse voice and
zero degrees of separation from music
legends, so much so that her 1973 solo
album Phew! was recently re-released.
Ms. Lennear was a bit of a knockout,
and is said to have provided the inspi-
ration for The Rolling Stones Brown
Sugar and David Bowies Lady Grin-
ning Soul. She met Mick Jagger and
Keith Richards when the Ike & Tina
Turner Revue opened for the Stones.
After three years with Ike & Tina, con-
nections like Ms. Lennears friendship
with Jagger and Richards began to
open some dazzling doors.
Among other gigs, she took the stage
to provide back-up vocals for Joe
Cockers 1970 Mad Dogs and English-
men tour and live recording, was one
of Leon Russells Shelter People and,
along with Rita Coollidge, was part of
a trio of backup singers for Delaney
and Bonnie.
She also performed at George Har-
risons The Concert for Bangladesh,
two benefit gigs performed at Madi-
son Square Garden in New York City
that featured luminaries like Ringo
Starr, Bob Dylan, Billy Preston, Leon
Russell, Eric Clapton and the band
Badfinger.
Ms. Lennear has also been a signifi-
cant presence in session work, with her
vocals supporting musicians like Rita
Coolidge, Graham Nash, Stephen Stills
and the band Humble Pie. You can, for
instance, hear her voice on Mr. Stills hit
Love the One Youre With. She also
collaborated with Claremont musician
Chris Darrow, singing behind him on
his 1972 solo debut Artist Proof.
There was so much energy flowing,
with the music industry making the
transformation from folk to rock to
Southern rock to everything that fit into
the mix, she said.
It all started just before Ms. Lenn-
ears senior year of high school. After
her stepfather retired from the military,
she was dragged westward from Prov-
idence, Rhode Island, kicking and
screaming. Her family settled in
Pomona and, while attending Garey
High School, she started heading out to
see music gigs.
Ms. Lennear had grown up singing
along to soul records, songs by people
like Ray Charles, Gladys Knight and
the Pips and Patti Labelle and the Blue-
bells.
I learned early on that I had some
semblance of a voice and could sing on
key, and I went from there, she said.
Before long, she ventured into the
music scene herself. Ms. Lennear was
fronting a soul group called the Superbs
when she was approached by Ike
Turner to audition for his revue. She
was beyond starstruck.
I would have crawled on my knees
from Rhode Island to California to
meet Ike and Tinano ifs, ands or
buts, Ms. Lennear said.
She passed muster with Ike and won
over Tina and, in 1967, became an
Ikette. It was the start of a whirlwind
ride to success. Since then, the world
has become aware of the music-duos
tumultuous marriage, in which Ms.
Turner was badly abused. Ms. Lennear
says that though she heard rumors of the
strife, she didnt witness any violence
during her three years as an Ikette. What
she saw was remarkable drive and con-
summate professionalism.
Tinas energy, even when off the
stage, is still overwhelming, Ms.
Lennear said. What a fireball. She had
the greatest since of humor and this
haughty laugh like no one I know. She
could fit right in today with Pharrells
Happy. She was a great role model.
During her time as the longest-
standing Ikette, she also learned much
from Mr. Turner.
He was a terrific business person,
very disciplined, and he was a vision-
ary, she said. If not for Ike Turner, the
entire revue wouldnt have existed.
It doesnt take long for Ms. Lennears
students to find out that she is not your
average teacher. She gives her students
three weeks before theyin the midst
of research for some projectmanage
to find out about her musical past.
They say, You know, Claudia, we
saw this woman who has your name.
She has long hair, is very thin and is
dancing. At that point, I have to tell
them the truth, Ms. Lennear said.
She may have not became a house-
hold name, but Ms. Lennear has the re-
sume, the friends and the stories to
show that she has been a force in the
music industry. On Wednesday, she
took a moment to share a telling anec-
dote with the COURIER about her re-
lationship with Ms. Turner.
It was a tiring show. We were mov-
ing the entire time. So to let us catch
our breath, Tina would pause and intro-
duce the band and all of the singers,
Ms. Lennear said. She always called
me Joy, which is my middle name. She
would say, And heres Joy. Joy to the
world. And then she would give that
haughty laugh and, under her breath,
say, Tinas here.
Later, when Ms. Turner got her
much-deserved second chance at solo
superstardom with the unprecedented
success of her Private Dancer album,
Ms. Lennear was truly happy for her.
All I could think was, Joy to the
world. Tinas here.

Growing an idea
Y
oure never too young to make
a difference! A couple of
years ago, 13-year-old Aidan
Dwyer came up with an idea that
could revolutionize solar technology.
When Aidan took a winter hiking trip, he
shot photos of various trees. He noticed there
was a pattern in the placement of branches and
leaves. It looked like a spiral to him.
Aidan, who lives in New York, is a math
whiz. So he found a mathematical pattern be-
hind the spiral, based on a number sequence
invented by the Medieval mathematician Fi-
bonacci. He wondered if his discovery could
be applied to solar sunlight collection.
Trees are formed to gather as much sunlight
as possible. He decided that, when it came to
harvesting solar power, it might be better to
copy the shape of trees than to use flat solar
panels. Aidan tested his theory by creating
miniature tree models with solar panels instead
of leaves. It turns out they collect about 20 per-
cent more solar power than flat panels. They
also soak up two-and-a-half more hours of sun-
light per day.
It doesnt collect dirt, rain and snow as
much as the flat panels, and I think it looks a
lot nicer, Aidan told a CNN reporter.
Aidan has been approached by professors who
want to work with him and has been given a pro-
visional patent for his idea by the US Patent and
Trademark Office. He needs to refine his math
calculations, but having a patent means that if
solar trees become the norm, he will receive
credit and money for his invention.
After being honored as one of the top Young
Naturalists by the American Museum of Nat-
ural History and being the youngest presenter
in the annual PopTech conference, hes already
kind of famous.
People just come up to me and go, Youre
that kid! he said.
What do you think? Should Claremont be-
come the city of trees and solar trees?

T
he neighborhood of Silver Lake,
located in Los Angeles, is a charm-
ing place.
It has one feature, how-
ever, that is downright mag-
ical: the Chandelier Tree.
The Chandelier Tree is a
100-year-old sycamore
that has been decorated
with 30 vintage chandeliers
strung among its branches.
It all started seven years ago when Adam Tenen-
baum helped build a set for a film project, which in-
cluded three beautiful vintage chandeliers. When he
discovered no one wanted the light fixtures, he
brought them home.
They were too big for his house, but he got a better
idea. Why not hang them from the towering tree in his
yard? At first they were unlit but soon Mr. Tenenbaum,
a licensed contractor who specializes in electrician and
plumbing work, got to work setting them alight.
Everyone went nuts. They loved it, Mr. Tenen-
baum shared in a recent Los Angeles Times article.
Over the following years, he acquired many more
old chandeliers, picking them up at swap meets or
yard sales or receiving them as donations. He has
rewired and weatherproofed them, hosting them up
with the help of his roommate, who happens to be an
acrobat and trapeze artist. In some cases, the old
trees branchesand their gleaming lightshang
right over the street on west Silver Lake Drive.
Passersby can put quarters into a parking meter il-
luminated with light bulbs, something that raises at
least $100 per month to help with Mr. Tenenbaums
light bill, which he said is off the charts. Whatever
the expense, he absolutely loves his chandeliers.
Each one has a little bit of a story and a lot of them
have nameskids will name them according to what
they look like, he said. Its not just what we put into
it. People have their own little tales.
Filmmaker Colin Kennedy had lived down the
street from this sparkling site for six years, enjoying
the view during his evening walks, when he decided
to make a short film about this local landmark.
You can check out the film on the video-sharing
website Vimeo at vimeo.com/69527636 (make sure
you ask your parents first).
Chandelier Tree proves
to be a bright idea
T
rees have been big in Claremont
news lately. Were in the middle
of a historic droughtits just
not raining as much as it used to. Com-
bine that with a particularly hot summer
and the citys 24,000 trees are suffering.
Sustainable Claremont is a group of residents who
are working to make the city greener. Members of the
club, particularly those involved in its Tree Action
Group (TAG), dont want to see our trees die.
TAG members have been attending city council
meetings, asking the people who help run Claremont
to take emergency measures to save the citys trees.
Last month, the city council hired a company to
examine the citys trees, looking for those that seem
stressed or sick. They found that about 5 percent of
Claremonts trees are showing drought stress.
Thats 1,200 trees in trouble.
The city council has started a pilot program, in-
stalling water bags around the trunks of 20 thirsty trees
in the Claremont Village.
Its a good start but, according to TAG member
Mark von Wodtke, its not enough. The city needs a
special tank or trailer that can be used to fill water bags
throughout the city and, in the case of larger city trees,
inject water directly into trees roots. He says it would
cost about $4,000 to buy a trailer that could be towed
by a pick-up truck to water the trees.
The city council says that the price tag is too high.
I like the idea of a water truck, but I know its not
in the citys budget, said Councilman Sam Pedroza.
Should the city try to find the money for a water
truck? Write a letter to the COURIER at
kids@claremont-courier.com and tell us what you
think.
In the meantime, the COURIER has recently
learned that the residents of Claremont with city-
planted trees on their lawns are responsible for wa-
tering them. Talk to your parents about giving your
city tree a good long drink. Its called deep-watering,
and involves placing a hose around the tree at a low
setting and letting the water trickle for at least a half-
hour. In times of drought, this should be done as
much as three times a week, according to the
Gareners Supply Company website.
Its best to water in the early morning, late afternoon
or evening so that the hot sun doesnt make the water
evaporate. A layer of mulch, such as bark or wood
chips, placed around the base of the tree can also help
your leafy friend from losing precious water.
Theres an African saying, It takes a village to raise
a child. Apparently, it takes the care and cooperation
of an entire city to keep its leafscape healthy.

Appaws! Spook is a 12-
year-old male tuxedo
cat. He was adopted
from the Upland animal
shelter in 2002. His favorite things are lying in
sun puddles, drinking from the bathtub spigot and
being vacuumed with the brush attachment by his
human, Robin Young. When he's hungry in the
morning and she's still sleeping, Spook nips the
tip of her nose to remind her it's time to get up
and make his breakfast.

SUMMARY OF ORDINANCE NO. 2014-05
INTRODUCED AT THE SPECIALCITY
COUNCILMEETING OF JUNE 24, 2014
AND ADOPTED AT REGULAR CITY
COUNCILMEETING OF JULY 22, 2014
(Full text of this ordinance is on file in the of-
fice of the City Clerk)
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF CLAREMONT, AMEND-
ING CHAPTER 8.28 OF TITLE 8
(STORMWATER AND RUNOFF POLLU-
TION CONTROL) OF THE CLAREMONT
MUNICIPAL CODE ESTABLISHING LOW
IMPACT DEVELOPMENT REQUIRE-
MENTS FOR NEW AND REDEVELOPED
PROPERTIES, AND UPDATING SAID
CHAPTER TO INCORPORATE NEW MU-
NICIPAL SEPARATE STORM SEWER SYS-
TEM (MS4) PERMIT REQUIREMENTS
ASSOCIATED WITH DISCHARGE AND
CONNECTION INTO THE STORM DRAIN
SYSTEM, AND CONTROL OF STORMWA-
TER AND NON-STORMWATER RUNOFF.
THE FOLLOWING IS ASUMMARY OF THE
ABOVE TITLED ORDINANCE:
Section 8.28.010 (Definitions)
This section has been revised to incorporate new
term definitions introduced with the MS4 Permit,
and used within the context of the Ordinance.
Section 8.28.030 (Discharge to the Storm Drain
System)
This section addresses discharges into the storm
drain system, and defines those discharges which
are considered illicit, and are not allowed to be
discharged into the storm drain. In addition, a def-
inition is provided for those discharges which may
be conditionally authorized, subject to the imple-
mentation of Best Management Practices (BMPs).
Additional language is included which authorizes
the Director of Community Development to limit
or prohibit any discharge which is conditionally au-
thorized by the MS4 Permit if the discharge is a
source of pollutants or contributes to an exceedance
of the receiving water limitations. The Director
may require any person to obtain a permit from the
City before discharging, or causing, allowing or fa-
cilitating any discharge to the storm drain system.
Section 8.28.031 (Illicit Connections Prohibited)
The language prohibiting illicit connections was
previously included in the illicit discharge section.
This language was removed from Section 8.28.030
and restated in a new section 8.28.031, Illicit Con-
nections.
Section8.28.032(Best Management PracticesRequired)
Portions of Section 8.28.40, Runoff Management
Requirements have been removed and restated in
Section 8.28.032, Best Management Practices.
Language is added in this section to ensure that any
person engaged in activities which will or may re-
sult in pollutants entering the City storm drain sys-
tem shall undertake all control measures and BMPs
the Director may require to reduce such pollutants.
Premises with a high potential threat of discharge
may be required to implement a monitoring pro-
gram meeting standards established by the City.
The Director of Community Development may re-
quire any person responsible for any industrial or
commercial facility, or new or redevelopment proj-
ect, to submit documentation demonstrating cover-
age by and compliance with any applicable permit,
including copies of any notice of intent, storm water
pollution prevention plans, inspection reports, mon-
itoring results, and other information deemed nec-
essary to assess compliance with this Chapter or
any NPDES permit. The Director may require any
person responsible for any industrial or commercial
facility or new or redevelopment project to enter
into an agreement for the operation and mainte-
nance of any structural control measures and to
record such agreement with the County Recorder's
office.
Section 8.28.033 (Monitoring, Information Collec-
tion and Reporting)
This new section adds potential actions that may be
required by the Director of Community Develop-
ment for any person discharging or causing, allow-
ing or facilitating a discharge to the storm drain
system, including:
1. Submittal of information necessary to comply
with the Permit or to confirm that person's compli-
ance with this Chapter;
2. Monitoring of discharges and submittal of reports
of discharge activities;
3. Maintenance of records of monitoring and dis-
charging; and
4. Performing those additional actions necessary to
comply with the Permit or this Chapter.
Protocol is provided for reporting requirements of
any known or suspected release of non-storm drain
discharges, including hazardous or non-hazardous
waste.
Section 8.28.034 (Control of Runoff Required In-
dustrial and Commercial Facilities)
BMPs for industrial and commercial facilities, pre-
viously outlined in Section 8.28.040, Runoff Man-
agement Requirements, have been restated in the
new Section 8.28.034 Control of Runoff Indus-
trial and Commercial Facilities.
Section 8.28.035 (Control of Runoff Required
Municipal Facilities)
Provisions for public facility sources were previ-
ously outlined in Section 8.28.040, Runoff Man-
agement Requirements and have been removed
from this section and restated in the new Section
8.28.035, Control of Runoff Required Municipal
Facilities.
Construction Activity)
This section was previously titled Runoff Man-
agement Requirements. Portions of this section
have been removed and retitled under Sections
8.28.032 - 8.28.035.
Further regulations are outlined as follows:
No person shall commence any construction ac-
tivity for which a permit is required by this Chap-
ter or any law or regulation without implementing
all stormwater and runoff pollution mitigation
measures required by such permit(s), law, regula-
tion, or this Chapter.
No grading permit shall be issued for any devel-
opment with a disturbed area of one (1) acre or
greater, or which is part of a larger common plan of
development unless the applicant can show that: (i)
a Notice of Intent to comply with the State Con-
struction Activity Storm Water Permit has been
filed; and (ii) a Storm Water Pollution Prevention
Plan has been prepared. Prior to obtaining a per-
mit, an erosion and sediment control plan which
satisfies the requirements of the Permit must be
submitted.
All BMPs shall be maintained in full force and ef-
fect during the term of the project, unless otherwise
authorized by the Director of Community Devel-
opment.
New Development and Redevelopment)
Language previously included in Section 8.28.040
addressing new development and redevelopment
has been removed from Section 8.28.040 and in-
cluded in this new section.
Section 8.28.050 (Stormwater Pollution Control
Measures for Development Planning and Con-
struction Activities)
Section 8.28.050, previously titled Violations and
Enforcement has been retitled Stormwater Pollu-
tion Control Measures for Development Planning
and Construction Activities. This section outlines
the new Low Impact Development requirements,
and establishes the following criteria:
Defines Planning Priority Projects which must
comply with the Planning and Land Development
requirements outlined in this section. These proj-
ects shall be designed to control pollutants, pollu-
tant loads, and runoff volume to the maximum
extent feasible by minimizing impervious surface

WARNINGIMPORTANT INFORMATION
California law provides that, for purposes of divi-
sion of property upon dissolution of a marriage or
domestic partnership or upon legal separation,
property acquired by the parties during marriage
or domestic partnership in joint form is presumed
to be community property. If either party to this
action should die before the jointly held commu-
nity property is divided, the language in the deed
that characterizes how title is held (i.e., joint ten-
ancy, tenants in common, or community property)
will be controlling, and not the community prop-
erty presumption. You should consult your attor-
ney if you want the community property
presumption to be written into the recorded title
to the property.
ADVERTENCIAIMFORMACINIMPORTANTE
De acuerdo a la ley de California, las propiedades
adquiridas por las partes durante su matrimonio o
pareja de hecho en forma conjunta se consideran
propiedad comunitaria para fines de la divisin de
bienes que ocurre cuando se produce una disolucin
o separacin legal del matrimonio o pareja de hecho.
Si cualquiera de las partes de este caso llega a falle-
cer antes de que se divida la propiedad comunitaria
de tenencia conjunta, el destino de la misma quedar
determinado por las clusulas de la escritura corre-
spondiente que describen su tenencia (por ej., tenen-
cia conjunta, tenencia en comn o propiedad
comunitaria) y no por la presuncin de propiedad
comunitaria. Si quiere que la presuncin comuni-
taria quede registrada en la escritura de la propiedad,
debera consultar con un abogado.

POTENTIALBIDDERS: If you are consider-
ing bidding on this property lien, you should un-
derstand 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 auc-
tioned 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 out-
standing 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 ei-
ther of these resources, you should be aware that
the same lender may hold more than one mort-
gage 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 cour-
tesy 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
(619)590-1221 or visit the internet website
www.dlppllc.com, using the file number assigned
to this case 1383441-37. Information about post-
ponements that are very short in duration or that
occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not
immediately be reflected in the telephone infor-
mation or on the Internet Web Site. The best way
to verify postponement information is to attend
the scheduled sale. For sales informa-
tion:(619)590-1221. Cal-Western Recon-

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, pursuant to the
Municipal Code of the City of Claremont and the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA),
that California School House Developers have
petitioned for a Variance application and utility
in-lieu request related to their approved three lot
subdivision (Tentative Parcel Map #62534) lo-
cated at 1238 Base Line Road.
The Planning Commission will conduct a public
hearing to consider the subject applications at
their special meeting onTuesday, July 29, 2014,
at 7:00 p.m., in the in the City Council Cham-
ber, 225 W. Second Street, at which time all in-
terested persons are invited to appear.
The subject property presently has a General Plan
designation of Residential Low/Medium (2-6
dwelling units per acre) and an underlying zoning
designation of RS 10,000. The current assessors
parcel number for the subject property is 8302-
015-041. The specific components comprising
the projects proposal are described below:
AVariance to allow a reduction in the required
15-foot street side yard setback along a portion of
the Base Line Road frontage to accommodate the
existing slopes and a required street side yard wall.
The reduction proposed would allow the eastern
portion of the proposed wall to be set back zero
feet from the property line and the western por-
tion to be set back 13 feet. The area in front of the
13-foot wall will be landscaped and include trees.
Afinding of impracticality from the requirement
to physically underground the existing offsite ad-
jacent overhead utility lines as allowed pursuant
to Municipal Code Sections 16.151.010C and
17.016.060B2. If the Planning Commission
makes this finding, then the developer would be
allowed to pay an equivalent in-lieu fee. The ap-
plicant will be required to underground utilities
to serve the site directly.
NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that the Director
of Community Development has determined that
the project is categorically exempt from the pro-
visions of the California Environmental Quality
Act pursuant to Sections 15061(b)(3), 15303, and
15305, the proposed subdivision and variance and
utility in-lieu request applications are exempt from
the provisions of CEQAbecause the project in-
volves the construction of a maximum of three,
single-family residences that are consistent with
local regulations, the General Plan, and the prop-
erty has access to all services. The variance ap-
plication for a reduced street side yard setback are
proposed, in part, to avoid environmental impacts
by allowing the subdivision to be designed in a
manner that will preserve the existing sites native
vegetation and slope areas. Finally the in-lieu re-
quest does not result in any physical change to the
environments. Therefore, no additional environ-
mental review is necessary at this time.
Copies of the application are available at the
Planning Division, Claremont City Hall, 207
Harvard Avenue, Monday through Thursday,
from 7:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. For more infor-
mation on the proposal, please contact Senior
Planner Mark Carnahan at (909) 399-5470, or
send written comments to P.O. Box 880, Clare-
mont, CA91711-0880.
Finally, in compliance with the Americans with
Disabilities Act of 1990, any person with a disabil-
ity who requires a modification or accommodation
in order to participate in a City meeting should con-
tact the City Clerk at (909) 399 5461 VOICE or
(800) 735-2929 TT/TTY at least three (3) work-
ing days prior to the meeting, if possible.

Claremont Real Estate Market Snapshot
The Claremont real estate market in June has finally slowed down after a very busy
spring season. We are now seeing a more normal market as sell times have increased
from a fast-paced 24-48 hours, to a week or two. But this is still good news for sellers
as home sales and prices remain strong. It will be interesting to see how the market
changes as the summer progresses and we approach the new school year this fall.
