Dear Editor:
Last week, a letter from Dennis Vlasich to Claremont City Manager Tony
Ramos was printed in your paper. His
basic objection was that the city was
planning to plant a Chitalpa (Chinese
Flame Tree) on the property located at
the corner of Shenandoah Drive and Gettysburg Circle. I tend to agree that this is
a poor choice, as this tree will never grow
to the majestic heights of our Calabrian
pine trees, or the newer California Black
Oaks.
That being said, I must correct Mr.
Vlasichs account of the history of the
trees on Shenandoah. He states that the
city had a nine-year plan to replace the
30-year-old (now 40-year-old) Calabrian
pines with California Black Oaks. The
first phase was completed, as he attests.
When the second phase was about to
commence, several homeowners in The
Club HOA community protested, myself
included. Most of the trees designated
for removal were healthy, we argued,
and had a possible future lifespan of another 50 or more years. They are habitat
for much wildlife, provide lots of shade,
clean and replenish the air with carbon
dioxide, and have deep root systems that
are able to sustain them with practically
no additional watering.
Mr. Vlasich, it is not true that a special interest group opposed the removal
of the Calabrian pines on Shenandoah
Drive. It was a group of The Club HOA
homeowners that led the opposition. We
disagreed with the findings of our board
of directors, and went directly to the city,
as was our right as citizens of Claremont.
Our citys tree policy is to retain
healthy trees, even if they damage hard-

scape. This is because mature trees are


more valuable than the cost of repairing
hardscape.

Water woes
Dear Editor:
The Santa Monica Daily Press reports
this week that the city of Santa Monica
has approved a 50 percent water rate increase over the next five years. This is a
compromise measure, as one option
under consideration would have increased water rates by nearly 78 percent.
In addition, penalties will be imposed
later this year on residents and businesses that cant reduce their water
usage. Luckily, the city of Santa Monicas costs arent inflated with greedy
shareholder profits, excessive executive
salaries and WRAMs.
If the Claremont City Council is successful in buying the water system from
Golden State Water, will we experience a
similar fate? If we continue this expensive legal battle for years to come but
fail to acquire the water system, how
much will it ultimately cost us?
Obviously, Im not one of the 70-plus
percent who voted for Measure W. Its
still not too late to cut our losses.
Dan DellOsa
Claremont

Government regulation
Dear Editor:
Regarding the FCCs latest ploy to
regulate the Internet: Are we really so
deluded that we think that government
regulating the Internet will be a good
thing?
Have we become so immune to the
takeover of so many things and aspects
of our lives that we dont realize we are
losing our rights virtually every day?

What ever happened to the idea of


limited government in a republic? Now
we have mob rule by an unthinking, entitled group of voters with no thought of
the ramifications, both immediate and
long-term, of allowing more and more
control.
More people need to read the novel
1984 and understand that we are rapidly
heading in a similar direction. Then they
need to start taking an active part in government at all levelslocal, state and
national. This may infringe on their play
time, but it will give them back many of
the freedoms they have forgotten we
once enjoyed.

Body of unknown female found on Mt. Baldy Road

he body of a female found on a west


side turnout of Mt. Baldy Road, just
north of the tunnels, on Tuesday,
March 3 has been identified as a 38-year-old
Los Angeles resident of Hispanic descent.
No further details are being released.

We are attempting to locate next of kin, explained


Sgt. Luis Nuez, Los Angeles County Sheriffs Homicide Bureau. We will provide more details as they become available and when her family has been notified.
According to law enforcement, evidence found on
the victim aided in her identification.
The body of the Los Angeles woman was found at
approximately 9:55 a.m. on Tuesday, clothed and covered in blankets approximately 25 to 30 feet from the
road. A US Forest Service employee driving along Mt.
Baldy Road first located the woman and contacted Los
Angeles County Sheriffs San Dimas station.
According to investigators, the cause of death is unknown but remains suspicious.
We do suspect foul play, said Lt. Eddie Hernandez.
She was found in a remote area and she wasnt there
for a long time. Anything could have happened.
The investigation is ongoing.
If you have any information, contact Sgt. Luis Nunez
or Sgt. Bobby Gray with the Los Angeles County Sheriff Homicide Bureau at (323) 890-5500.

District reacts amid vaccine decline, measles outbreak

hile no cases of
measles have been
reported in Claremont, local educators and
physicians are worried about a
potential resurgence of an infectious disease once considered to be eradicated.
The concern arose after the Disneyland measles outbreak in December of
2014. In its wake, 131 people have been
infected in California, according to an
Associated Press story earlier this week.
The Centers for Disease Control says
most of those who have fallen ill were
unvaccinated.
In 2000, the CDC proudly reported
that measles had been eliminated in the
United States. Claremont pediatrician
Glen Miya clarifies: This doesnt mean
there were no cases of measles in the
United States but that none had originated in the country.
Fourteen years later, the nation is experiencing the largest number of
measles cases in two decades. This situation has been linked to a controversial
trend in which parent are eschewing
vaccinations for their children. Their decision to request a personal belief exemption (PBE) with regards to
inoculation generally based on a conviction or concern that vaccines may lead
to autism.
In some California districts, according to a February 9 NPR article, fully
half of all students have a PBE. In

Claremont, that number is less than 2


percent and going down, thanks to an
educational effort on the part of the district.
On February 19, Superintendent Jim
Elsasser circulated a summary of the
steps that have been taken by CUSD in
response to the measles outbreak. The
process began with a thorough review
of student immunization records at all
school sites.
Parents of students who were missing
one or both of the recommended
measles vaccinationsand who did not
have a PBE on filewere notified in
writing and by phone that they must
submit proof of up-to-date measles vaccinations if they wished their child to
continue attending school in the district.
One COURIER staffer was given a
deadline of February 29 to resolve a
vaccination matter and then, on February 26, was called to the school office to
show proof or the child could not remain at school.
There are some exemptions, the district release notes: A few exceptions
will be made on behalf of homeless
and foster children without records, as
well as children who have a doctors appointment behind the exclusion date.
On Wednesday, February 25, at the
suggestion of the California Health Department and the Los Angeles County
Office of Education, the district sent out
an informational email to parents and
staff members. It described the symptoms of measles and preventative measures, including vaccines, that have been
found to protect children and schools

against the disease.


The district is happy to report that the
number of unvaccinated students is beginning to wane, Assistant Superintendent of Student Services Mike Bateman
said.
On February 19, it was reported that
there were 111 students in the district
who hadnt received at least one dose of
the measles vaccine. As of present time,
the total number of students who
havent had at least one measles vaccine
has dropped to 105.
The majority of the unvaccinated students have personal belief exemptions,
while two are foster children with lost
immunization records, Mr. Bateman
shared. Another two kids who are missing both doses of the vaccine are medically fragile students, one in attendance
at Danbury and another at Claremont
High School.
Sumner Elementary School teacher
Joe Tonan, past president of the Claremont Faculty Association, has been
troubled by the vaccination situation for
some time and, several weeks ago, took
to the school board dais to express his
concerns. He reiterated these with the
COURIER on February 26.
Immunizations are crucial for teachers who work with children to prevent
the spread of disease from the teacher to
the students and vice versa, he said. I
know of some teachers with health concerns who cannot safely be vaccinated.
It is up to the rest of us, staff and students, to protect those who are at risk of
illness through no fault of their own.
California is one of only 19 states that

allows students to attend school without


vaccinations should their families ask
for a PBE. Earlier this month, state lawmakers introduced legislation that
would make it mandatory for kids to be
fully vaccinated before going to school.
Claremont pediatrician Glenn Miya is
one of the many physicians across the
country who assert the vaccine/autism
link is nonexistent. He has spoken out
on the danger of avoiding vaccinations
in an interview with the COURIER and
onscreen in a segment on Time Warner
Cables Local Edition.
Parents who continue to believe that
vaccinations and autism are related
should know that the study on which
this assertion was based has long been
debunked, he emphasizes. What has not
been debunked is the opposite link.
Since rates of the MMR (measles,
mumps and rubella) vaccine went down
in the UK, mumps came back as well as
the measles. Here in the United States,
weve already seen a great spike in
whooping cough, the doctor said.
When vaccinations go down, cases go
back up.
Many parents are opting to vaccinate
their children but are seeking to minimize autism risk by having their kids
wait a bit between shots rather than getting multiple vaccines at once. While it
may seem like a thoughtful, middleground policy, it is still problematic, according to Dr. Miya.
There is no scientific evidence to
show that a staggered vaccine schedule
is any safer. In fact, it puts a child at risk

Car-to-car shooting, stabbing in south Claremont

laremont Police Department officers were


put to the test last night
after two unrelated incidents
a stabbing and a car-to-car
shoot-outkept officers on
high alert.
The car-to-car shooting took place in
the area of Doane Avenue and Bucknell
Avenue at around 8:45 p.m. on
Wednesday, March 4. Claremont officers responded to multiple reports of
occupants in two separate vehicles who
were shooting at each other.
A resident who lives in the Cinderella
Homes neighborhood north of Vista
Drive stated that he heard a succession

of 20 or so shots with a brief pause, followed by an additional 20 more.


People were calling in to report it
left and right, Lt. Aaron Fate said.
When you get a few calls, its one
thing. But when we get this high volume of calls, we know its bad.
Upon officers arrival, the two vehicles were gone. Officers found multiple
bullet casings and fragments in the intersection of Doane and Bucknell. At
least two of the rounds struck an exterior wall of an apartment and a brick
wall of the apartment complex. No
gunshot victims were located.
The two vehicles involved were described as a white two-door sedan and a
black sedan. The black sedan was occupied by at least three males. At this

A pair of La Verne residents ended up
in police custody after exhibiting signs
of alcohol intoxication. According to
Lieutenant Mike Ciszek, Shawn Breceda was driving on Foothill Boulevard
near Regis Avenue around 1 a.m. when
officers pulled her over for failing to
turn on her vehicles headlights. Police
made contact with the 30-year-old
driver and requested the vehicles registration. Ms. Breceda reached into her
glove box and retrieved a rabies vaccination application and presented it to officers. All the while, her passenger
Richard Belmontez had been asleep in
the seat next to her with vomit on his
shirt and in his lap. Police woke the 34year-old man, who again began to throw
up on himself. Both Ms. Breceda and
Mr. Belmontez were taken into police
custody, she for driving under the influence and he for public intoxication.
Monday, February 23
A driver whose airbag deployed for a
reason unknown to him was arrested
for drunk driving. Officers responded
to Foothill Boulevard near College Avenue around 12:15 a.m. following a
traffic collision heard in the area. Police
located Clayton Upton sitting in his
Lincoln MKX parked along the south
curb on Route 66, with damage to the
front of his vehicle and no idea how it
got there. The 40-year-old driver told
police the dashboard light came on so
hed driven to the curb.
When officers asked the man what
had happened, he didnt think hed hit
anything despite the fact that the airbag
in his vehicle had deployed. Police determined during their investigation that
the La Verne resident had been driving
drunk on Foothill when he drifted left
onto the raised concrete median and
collided with two metal road signs,
breaking them off and destroying them.

Mr. Upton was arrested for driving


under the influence.

Another drunk driver crashed on a
Claremont roadway. Police were called
to Arrow Highway and Indian Hill
Boulevard after Pomona resident Elizabeth Avrigean collided with a center
median at around 6:30 p.m. Officers approached the 47-year-old driver who,
according to police, had her sweater and
skirt soaked in a large amount of vomit.
Ms. Avrigean told police shed drank
wine and took prescription meds prior
to driving and had become nauseous,
thus vomiting on herself. She was arrested for DUI.

A teenager got busted for driving his
moms car in the Village without her
permission. Officers spotted the blue
Toyota Camry traveling east on First
Street near Indian Hill and pulled over
the driver for failing to turn on his vehicles headlights. The young man was
very forthcoming, telling officers he
was 15 years old, didnt have a drivers
license and had taken his mothers car
without permission. He was arrested,
taken to the Claremont police station
and issued a citation for the offense.
The underage driver was released to the
custody of his mother. His juvenile passenger was taken home by police and
released to his father.

A burglar set off the alarm at a Claremont residence, but the homeowner
thought it was a false alarm and called
off police. The thief entered the home
on the 3000 block of Vinceness Court
between 6 a.m. and 2 p.m. by shattering
the glass and unlocking the front door.
Once inside the residence, the burglar
stole cases of wine, speakers throughout the house, watches, an Apple desktop computer and MacBook Pro, $700

about the vehicles or suspects.
Shots were also fired between the
two vehicles in the city of Pomona in
the area of East La Verne Avenue and
Los Flores Street, which is located one
block west of Mountain Avenue along
the 10 Freeway. The Pomona Police
Department is investigating the shooting at that location.
Since the shootings were committed
by the same people, Claremont and
Pomona investigators will work together to locate the suspects.
In an unrelated incident, the LA
County Fire Department called the
Claremont Police Department at around
8:55 p.m. regarding a 55-year-old male
stabbing victim who was in the parking

lot of Norms Restaurant on South Indian Hill Boulevard.


The occupants in the vehicle were
arguing with each other on the freeway
when one stabbed the other, Lt. Fate
said. They pulled off the freeway and
into the Norms parking lot.
The stabbing occurred in Pomona, so
Pomona PD handled the suspects arrest and will monitor the continuing investigation. The victim was airlifted
from a Pomona elementary school to
USC Medical Center. No report on his
condition is available.

Claremont police hit the jackpot after
arresting eight people for crimes relating to prostitution. Officers responded
to the Motel 6 located at 840 S. Indian
Hill Blvd. amid concerns of prostitution
in the area. Between 5 p.m. and 10
p.m., four males aged 20-38 and four
females aged 20-28, all from cities outside of Claremont, were taken into custody. The arrestees were booked at

driving. According to Lt. Ciszek, officers witnessed a red Chevy Suburban
driving recklessly near Indian Hill
Boulevard and the 10 Freeway around
1:30 a.m. and attempted to pull the vehicle over. Driver Richard Perez failed
to yield and a pursuit ensued through
the cities of Claremont, Pomona, Montclair and Chino.
During the course of the pursuit, the
45-year-old Chino resident pulled to the
curb and yielded momentarily, drove
around in a circle and slammed on the
brakes, attempting to collide with the
officers patrol vehicle. The duo eventually pulled over in Chino where they
were arrested without further incident
and booked at Claremont jail.
Mr. Perez was arrested for driving on

Calaycay keeps focused on taking care of Claremont

hen it comes to city government, Councilman Corey


Calaycay has a simple yet insightful philosophy: public service is customer service. And no one knows his
customers better than this life-long Claremont resident.
As a teen, Mr. Calaycay became well-acquainted
with the trials and tribulations of dealing with a less
than responsive local government. After a couple of
stolen cars had been dumped near his rural Claremont
home, he reached out to the city for help, but soon realized hed have to help himself.
Back in the day, Base Line wasnt here. The freeway wasnt here. There was a dirt road and a berry
field. When they annexed this area into the city they
never changed the street signs, so every time we
called the police, they kept arguing with us that we
lived in the county, explained Mr. Calaycay. I went
to the city to try and get some assistance and I kept
getting the runaround. I eventually spoke with the
mayor, who said, It was a Caltrans roadway, the city
cant do anything and Im late for a plane, before
hanging the phone up on me. I thought to myself, if
thats the way they treat people, I could do a better job
than that!
Mr. Calaycay took the first step in 1990 and ran for
city council at the age of 19. Although he didnt win
the election, he garnered an impressive 2,382 votes.
From the get-go, my thought was this was a customer service job. Were here to serve people, he
says emphatically. I saw that mindset somewhat
lacking at that period of time in terms of the recognition of service to the community as opposed to advancing the agendas of what the people at that time
were interested in. Thats what continues to motivate
me here.
Currently serving his third term, Mr. Calaycay was
first elected to city council in March 2005 following
two unsuccessful runs in 1992 and 1994. A 40-year
resident of Claremont, the council member grew up in
the community he now serves, having attended the

Claremont City Councilmember Corey Calaycay is in
his third term on the council and will consider running
for a fourth. His advice to anyone interested in running
is get involved with the community, like joining a commission, so the voters get to know you.

United Church of Christ Preschool, Foothill Country


Day School and Webb School.
After receiving a degree in business administration
from Loyola Marymount University in 1992, Mr.
Calaycay began his political career working for California State Legislators including former Assemblyman and State Senator Bob Margett, former
Assemblyman Bob Pacheco, and former Assemblyman Todd Spitzer.
I respected all of them immensely, he says.
They all had their different styles of leadership and
hopefully from each of them I derived elements that
have served the public well here in Claremont.
At 44 years old, Mr. Calaycay is ironically the
youngest yet most senior of the city council members.
He credits the success of this particular council to
their ability to collaborate.
I think weve learned to keep our egos and our
own personal objectives in check. There are probably
moments in time when were ready to strangle each
other, but I think we do a really good job of stepping

away from that, cooling off and coming back to the


table and still working together in a constructive way.
I think everybody sees that, says Mr. Calaycay.
Theres no pressure to decide in any given direction,
and theres definitely an acceptance of free thought on
the part of the council members. Theres a respect between and among us. That makes a huge difference
Someone once told me, its all about the compromise and, in an effective compromise, everybody can
walk away with about 80 percent of what they want,
he adds. Ive generally found that to be true.
One item the entire city council can agree upon is
the urgency in paying off the citys unfunded liability
debt. According to Mr. Calaycay, the latest CalPERS
numbers are expected in October, at which time city
council will appoint an ad hoc committee to look at
the current pay-off plan more comprehensively.
Weve done an excellent job in making this community more financially stable, but if we dont monitor any adjustments by CalPERS that could really set
us back, he says. When you miss a payment, the interest is still accruing at such a high rate that you lose
ground really fast. So that is why it is critical that we
really take a look and make sure that our payment
plan is meeting the goal of paying this within a reasonable period of time.
Having previously served as Claremonts mayor
from 2009-2010, Mayor Pro Tem Calaycay is once
again expected to take center seat at city council when
Joe Lyons mayoral term concludes next week.
When I was mayor last time, the downturn of the
economy hit in 2008 and I came on as we were starting to feel the effects. As much as I enjoyed that year
it was a busy and productive yearthe reality was
we had probably more staff farewells than I would
guess any prior mayor had during his or her term. We
had some serious budget discussions and cuts that had
to be made, so they were pretty challenging times.
This time around, with Claremonts economic
growth on the upswing, Mr. Calaycay intends to do
all he can to assist the community and its residents in
fulfilling their needs.
First and foremost to me is that were taking care
of people, Mr. Calaycay says. Most of my agenda,
whatever comes up during the year, stems around
making sure we are taking care of what our citizens
want. Groups like Jim Keith with Safe and Healthy
Family Housing and Betty Crocker with Keeping the
Good in Our Neighborhoodthose are the people
that matter to me. If they come up with agenda items
to make the community more safeif this is what the
people want, thats my agenda.

by delaying some vaccines and leaving them vulnerable, he said. The standard vaccine schedule has
been studied for decades by the American Academy
of Pediatrics. The schedule has been designed to give
vaccines at certain times in a persons life to give optimal protection against disease.

r. Miya wants families to understand the severity of a disease that


was once brushed off as typical
childhood illness.

Measles is more than a rash. Measles should not


be minimized, Dr. Miya said. I distinctly remember that in intensive care, Ive had one patient who
had pneumonia and died.
People who have contracted the measles can be
contagious up to four days before the rash appears, Dr.
Miya said.
The classic signs of the measles are a high fever of
up to 104, cough, runny nose and red eyes, he said.

However, major complications can happen after


those symptoms: pneumonia, brain inflammation,
deafness, blindness, brain damage and death.
It is an extremely contagious disease that is especially dangerous for vulnerable populations like infants who are older than 4 months, when maternal
antibodies begin to wear off, and younger than one
years old, when the vaccine is typically first administered.
It has also been shown that for children age 5 and
under who contract measles, one out of five has to be
treated in the hospital, Dr. Miya said.
As any parent knows, schools are a natural breeding
ground for illness. And measles germs are quite hardy,
according to Dr. Miya.
They are spread by water droplets from sneezing
and coughing and can stay viable for two hours on
countertops, he said.

An ice-cold look at living in Claremont


by John Pixley

kay, I get it now. I now get it why


there are all those retired people
with New York and Boston accents living in Florida.
And the story about people on the east coast getting
up late after New Years Eve and turning on the television to watch the fantastically bright and balmy
Rose Parade in Pasadena and dream of moving to
sunny So Cal (some allegedly decide to do just that)
makes sense.
There was another story that I heard while I was
growing up here. It was said that the Colleges did
their hiring in January and February, when the
weather was mild and bright green trees hung heavy
with oranges under crystal blue skies and with snowcapped mountains in the background. I get it now.
(Never mind the rest of the story: that the professors
were in despair when they moved here in August and
found themselves, all the more so at the time, in a
horribly hot and smoggy place.)
I get it when Im out on a February evening, bundled up in a hoodie and maybe wearing long-johns,
and see students meandering across the college campuses in shorts and T-shirts. On a recent evening as I
was going across the Pomona College campus, I saw
a young man in this ensemble riding a skateboard
barefooted. I get it now. To them, our chilly winter
days and evenings are balmy, if not flat-out warm.
Why wouldnt our 50-degree evenings be a walk or
skateboard ride in the park after daytime temperatures
in the teens or lower?
I had no idea. Really, I had no idea.
I found this out a few weekends ago when I attended a meeting in Burlington, New Jersey, not far
from Philadelphia. I found out that Im a true California boy. Make that a true So Cal native. I was in fact
worried about going there in February. Was I crazy, I
kept asking friends, but I really had no idea how different it is.
Of course, I have seen snow. As I write this, I see
snow but, as always, it is up there, over there, some-

observer
thing pretty to look at. Snow has always been like an
amusement park ride, something fun and romantic, an
adventure for an afternoon or a weekend. Yes, I have
seen snow falling but it was the thrilling, lucky highlight of the weekends ride.
Snow has never been something to dread or fear. It
has never meant more work like shoveling or not
being able to get somewhere. When the meeting I attended was over, many people rushed off, eager to
drive home before the next storm arrived. I guess I
was lucky that none of my flights, including in
Chicago where I had a layover, were canceled.
It only snowed lightlytwo or three incheswhile
I was in Burlington but it was enough to more or less
shut down the town. No one was out having fun in the
snow, and the few people who were out were in a
hurry. This was very strange to me.
Then again, the few inches of snow was just the beginning. Each day, my friend and Ithe crazy Californiansbundled up in everything we had and went
out for a walk. This was lovely and fun but on the
second day I barely got down the driveway when I
said Nope and had to go back. The cold was like a
knife and just hurt too much.
I understood why when I was happily able to go
out for a walk with my friend on the last day and saw
that most of the river two blocks over was frozen
over. This was definitely like nothing I had ever seen,
including during a year in England and another in
Italy when I was growing up, and it certainly wasnt
like when I get excited about seeing a frozen puddle
on the sidewalk after a particularly cold night here.
No, I wasnt in southern California anymore! It
may well have been unusually cold, but no doubt this
is far more likely to happen there than here.

I certainly saw that things are very different in that


part of the countryIve been saying that it was another world. Not only is it cold, the cold had a major
effect on life that I have never experienced. Furthermore, I was profoundly struck that my life as a person
in a wheelchair would be much harder there. Yes, I
gripe sometimes about our mild, boring weather, and
I hate it when a few hours of rain means that I need to
ask for a ride or cant go out. But, for the most part, I
can go out and get around in my wheelchair, even on
a cold night (along with the guys in shorts). It really
hit me that this wouldnt be the case if I lived on the
east coast, or many other places in the US. And not
just because the chilly wind might hurt too much;
driving a wheelchair through patches of snow and ice
isnt easy.
Then again, there are many people who dont just
put up with the freezing weather. Many Easterners
claim to miss the change of seasons when they move
here. And when I mentioned to one woman during my
visit that I think I rather have earthquakes than snow,
she laughed tartly and told me that I was welcome to
go back home.
When I did return to California, it was downright
bizarre when, upon arriving at LAX, it was balmy
(no, warm) at 11:30 on a February night. It was
enoughas if the previous three days in another
world not so far away wasntto leave me in a
daze, marveling at my life in Claremont.
It wasnt just the weather and the frozen river that
made me feel like I had been in another world, far, far
from Claremont, much closer to, say, England. It was
also the cemeteries with the graves from the 1700s,
which were quite pretty in the snow, or the house two
doors down where a sign said Ulysses Grants family
had lived and where he heard that Lincoln had been
shot or another building a block away where another
sign said that Ben Franklin had briefly worked. Even
as Claremont, with its palm trees and red tiles, is
known and admired for being like a New England
town. But thats another story.

Historic preservation is sustainability


by John Neiuber

t is a common understanding in the preservation


community that a building
is most in peril of being demolished between 35 and 50 years
after it was built.
For a few buildings, its because of
the lack of quality of the components
and constructionit is simply nearing
the end of its lifespan. For others, especially those that might be the product of
an architectural movement, it appears to
be dated as tastes have changed. Still
others are now seen as not being energyefficient enough for current standards.
Not much can be done about poor
construction, except for good design review and proper standards at the time a
building is approved. Scholarly consideration and the study of architecture take
time before we may recognize the value
of certain movements. Technological advances and new construction techniques
now make it possible to address energyefficiency standards in older buildings.
With increased awareness about sustainability, green technology and the importance of being energy-efficient in recent years, it is sometimes too easy to
tear down an older structure and push
for new construction in its place.
The new building may be green in
every sense of the word but if it replaced
a demolished one, all of that embodied
energy is lost. It can take from 10 to 80
years for the new structure to overcome
the loss of the embodied energy in the
demolished building.
Architect Carl Elefante stated, The
greenest building is the one thats already built. Consider the quality of materials that went into constructing a
beautiful Craftsman bungalow with a
stone foundation and porch. The redwood, oak, cypress, fir or pine woods
that were used for its construction are all
old-growth woods; these woods are of
high quality, superior strength and have
higher resistance to termite damage than
their younger counterparts.

Consider the amount of energy that


was expended in cutting lumber, shipping it to the building site and cutting
the pieces to custom-fit each home,
window and mantelpiece. Consider the
energy used to fabricate each historic
shingle or shake.
Consider the amount of embodied
energy that already went into constructing your home. Removing materials in
the name of energy-efficiency may not
be as efficient as it seems. By taking materials out, the embodied energy is lost,
compounding the amount of time it will
take to recoup the expense of adding
new energy-efficient materials.
A few years ago, the relationship between historic preservation and sustainable development was the focus of a
conference involving preservationists,
architects, green builders and energy experts. Meeting at the historic Rockefeller
Estate at Pocantico Hills, New York, this
group developed the Pocantico Proclamation on Sustainability that focuses on
six principles:
Promote a culture of reuse
The way we use our buildings causes
big problems but, incredibly, we keep
trying to solve the problem by constructing more and more new buildings while
largely ignoring the ones we already
have. That makes no sense. In addition
to building green, we have to make
wiser use of what weve already built.
The retention and reuse of older buildings is an effective tool for the responsible, sustainable stewardship of environmental resources, including those that
have already been expended.
Reinvest at a community scale
Instead of building more highways,
strip malls and subdivisions, we ought
to be reinvesting in the communities
we already have. Leadership in Energy
and Environmental Design (LEED)
Neighborhood Development has an
entire section, Green Infrastructure
and Buildings, that focuses on this and
includes very important language that
encourages preservation and reuse of

eral studies and an economic inputoutput model developed by Carnegie


Mellon University demonstrate that
preservation activities create more
jobs than new construction.

older buildings instead of demolition.


Value the lessons of heritage
buildings and communities
Its often alleged that historic buildings are energy hogs but, in fact, some
older buildings are as energy-efficient as
many recently-built ones. When the
General Services Administration examined its nationwide buildings inventory
in 1999, it found that utility costs for historic buildings were 27 percent less than
for more modern buildings.
Many older buildings have thick,
solid walls, resulting in greater thermal
mass and reducing the amount of energy
needed for heating and cooling. Buildings designed before the widespread use
of electricity feature transoms, high ceilings and big, operable windows for natural light and ventilation, as well as
shaded porches, overhanging eaves and
other features to reduce solar gain. Architects and builders used siding and
landscaping as tools for maximizing sun
exposure during the winter months and
minimizing it during warmer months.
Make use of the economic advantages
of reuse, reinvestment and retrofits
Dollar for dollar, rehabilitation creates
more jobs than new construction. Sev-

Re-imagine historic preservation


policies and practices as they relate
to sustainability
We must understand the gravity of the
threat of climate change and take seriously our responsibility to do whatever
we can to reduce the impact of buildings
on the environment. In its early years,
preservation focused on keeping buildings from being torn down. Now we understand that just saving them isnt
enough, we also have to do our best to
improve energy-efficiency and ensure
that their impact on the environment
isnt harmful.
Take immediate and decisive action
Its not enough to talk about how historic preservation can inform green
building, or how green building practices can be integrated with preservation
practices. We must put these principles
into practice. Education is important, but
action, especially in the public policy
arena, is critically important.
Preservation and sustainability go
hand-in-hand in reducing our collective
carbon footprint. There is an important
connection between historic preservation
and the need to address global warming,
climate change and the depletion of natural resources. The science is clear on
this topic: Historic preservation is sustainability.

Food paradise found


by Jan Wheatcroft

rowing up in my household revolved around food, cooking and


eating. My mothers gift to us
was to prepare tasty, nourishing meals that
were eaten by the whole family together.
Dinner was leisurely, accompanied by stimulating
conversation with everyone contributing. My mother
prepared well-balanced meals of the 1940s and
50sa choice cut of meat, a starch, a vegetable or
salad, bread and butter and a dessert waiting at the
end. Most dinners were hearty with roasts, hamburgers, chicken or stews always enriched with herbs and
seasonings. My mother was not a bland cook. Today,
I eat a lighter more vegetarian diet but the heightened
flavors were born at this home table.
My mealtime jobs were to set the table, clear up and
wash the dishes. I wept through the entire process of
clearing and washing up. I truly felt like Cinderella,
forced into servitude. Subsequently, I broke a dish,
glass or bowl each night until I had demolished my
mothers entire handmade Mexican dinner set, which
she had received as a wedding gift. She was thus
forced into buying a set of grey Melmac plastic dishes.
In her favor, I will admit that never once did she

give in to save her plates by banishing me from the


kitchen. However, I dont remember breaking the
dishes deliberately. While my focus was on the act of
washingand the cruelty of lifecups just cracked,
plates fell from my soapy hands and bowls fell off the
dish rack.
Setting the table was a different activity. It ushered
in the beginning of a meal, of favorite foods, of sharing the days experiences and of being included with
the adults and their conversations. It was the end of
the meal I resented and of being left on my own to do
the dirty work.
Wednesday was the day Sirreaner Malone came to
our house. When I was small, she took care of me
while my mother worked. She also ironed, cleaned
and cooked.

But it was the Wednesday night dinner that was my


favorite meal for years. It consisted of her Southern
Fried Chickencrispy, juicy, tender and never greasy,
mashed potatoes as smooth as silk, green peas in butter and a homemade apple pie la mode with the
flakiest crust in the world. A simple southern meal
that I am incapable of reproducing to this day. My pie
crusts are heavier (never light and airy), my chicken
greasy (burnt or uncooked at the bone) and my potatoes are lumpy.
Sirreaner was a good friend to me. She answered
lifes more important questions, taught me to iron,
told wonderful stories and always cooked my birthday dinner. It was the same meal for many years:
fried chicken, mashed potatoes, green peas and apple
pie la mode. Fried chicken still remains a better perfume than Channel No. 5.
My real father lived in New York City and came
out to the west coast a few times a year. He always
stayed at the Beverly Hills Hotel, a pink confection
with excellent service and wonderful food. We often
ate there instead of going to a fancy Hollywood
restaurant.
My two favorite foods at the Beverly Hills Hotel
were Monte Cristo sandwiches and pofiterolles. The
Monte Cristo sandwich was three layers of crusttrimmed bread layered with ham, chicken and cheese.
This entire package was dipped in an egg batter, fried
and dusted with powdered sugar. It all melted together but remained crispy on the outside and was
heavenly to eat.
The pofiterolles, cream puffs sliced in half and
filled with vanilla ice cream and covered in hot fudge
and whipped cream, were a special treat. I ate them
very slowly savoring every bite. This was an indulgent treat and I hated it to end. I still feel that way
today when I have an ice cream treat. The fun of
choosing and mixing flavors of ice cream heightens
the promise of a delicious beginning.
For me, meals are not just for eating to sustain but a
part of a creative process, of preparation and anticipation as well as eating. As always, it is the endings that
I find most difficult.

the great mitigating force of both, language in a NewPages review. Work by
Mr. Som, who teaches in the writing program at the University of Southern California, has appeared in Indiana Review,
Black Warrior Review, Octopus Magazine
and Prairie Schooner.
The Kingsley Tufts award, now in its
23rd year, was established at CGU by Kate
Tufts to honor the memory of her husband, who held executive positions in the
Los Angeles Shipyards and wrote poetry as
his avocation. The Kate Tufts Discovery
Award was initiated in 1993. Both prizes
are intended to provide writers with encouragement and financial breathing room
to continue with their poetry.
The unprecedented number of submissions this year represents a wide range
of poetic voices and visions, said Wendy
Martin, director of the Tufts Poetry Awards
and professor of American Literature at
CGU, in a recent press release. The competition was fierce, and the selection of
the winning books was especially challenging.

Mountain View student sets his sights on the land down under

ip-lining above jungles and snorkeling through the reefs of Cancun


is not a typical vacation itinerary
for a young child. Most adults cant say
they have gone on adventures through Ireland and England. In the case of 10-yearold Jake De La Rosa, however, it is reality.
The young Claremont resident has gone on a few exotic vacations with his family, but has now been offered
a golden opportunity as a student ambassador with People to People in their upcoming trip to Australia. With
this golden opportunity comes a golden price tag and
his mother, Monique De La Rosa, is looking to raise
funds to help pay for the trip.
I was freaking out at first because I had never heard
of the program, said Jakes mother. I did some research on it and after talking to one of his coaches and
teachers and hearing that their kids went, it made me a
lot more comfortable to let him go.
People to People is a travel service that offers all-inclusive trips to children in grades 5-12 looking to enhance leadership skills and experiences in preparation
for college. The organization offers travel to various
destinations within seven continents and reports that 80
percent of their alumni are accepted into their firstchoice college.
In 1962, the first People to People group traveled to
its designated destination and, since then, more than
500,000 students have done the same. Tuition for the
trips ranges from $4,000 to $8,000 and includes airfare,
transportation, meals and living accommodations.
I feel so excited and happy that I get to have this
chance. I am used to traveling with my mom, so I am a
little nervous. I get to see and study animals that I have
never seen and explore the Great Barrier Reef, explained Jake.
The De La Rosas are planning to have multiple
fundraising events to help reach their goal, including a
donation-based yoga class at a Bikram Yoga Covina on
March 14 at 2 p.m. Anyone who attends the free class
can donate whatever theyd like. with all proceeds going to Jakes travel fund. In return, attendees can purchase an additional week of classes at the studio for $5.
Another fundraiser in the works is a bake sale at The
Upland Arena Indoor Sports Complex. The family has

will be in the country for two weeks, during which time he will learn about the people and the culture as well
as how to travel independently.

held private concerts for donations with close family


and friends along with a Super Bowl pool with the $25
buy-ins going towards Jakes upcoming adventure. So
far, the De La Rosas have raised approximately $945
but still have more than $5,000 to go to reach their goal.
People to People also focuses on humanitarian efforts
both overseas and close to home. Their upcoming project for local student ambassadors is The Bay Beach
Clean up on April 18 in Santa Monica. While on their
trip, the organizations young delegates will also be devoting a portion of their time abroad to distributing supplies to rural schools and students in need.
Jake is an honor roll student at Mountain View Elementary School and plays on both The Arenas soccer
team and in Claremonts Foothill Storm Soccer Club.
He was nominated as student ambassador and his
mother believes that his teachers are to thank.
Claremont is a wonderful city to live in and a wonderful place to raise a sonevery opportunity my son
has had is because of it. His commitment to his education and sports is because of the community, and its
making him become an amazing little man, Jakes
mother enthused.

To be a student ambassador for People to People one


must apply, pass a required interview with a program
leader and submit two or three letters of recommendation. Requirements and application locations vary, depending on whether the student has been nominated for
the experience or is applying without nomination.
On the itinerary for Jakes trip to Australia is a backstage tour of the Sydney Opera House, animal encounters at a sanctuary, a cruise to the Great Barrier Reef and
a trip to the Queensland Dairy Museum.
Jake and his mother have created a fundraising page
at www.piggybackr.com/jakeyd where anyone can donate to his trip along with reading a more about him.
Updates on upcoming fundraising activities can also be
found on their website.
Part of being a parent is to show that it is important
to be supportive. He has been very thankful and appreciative for everything around him and everyone helping
us out, said Monique.

fund, visit their fundraising page or email his mother at

The Depot gets a touch-up

COURIERphoto/Steven Felschundneff
Linnaea Dix Dawson co-owner of Silverlake Conservation, describes the
process of restoring the ceiling at the Claremont Depot.

he 128-year-old Claremont Depot, which over


the years has undergone
a full reconstruction and multiple face-lifts, now faces further
need of repair. This time, the culprit is a leaky roof.

The leak, which has since been repaired


by the city, left noticeable water damage to
the historic ceiling.
First built in 1887 by the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad, the original
depot was a simple wooden structure done in
the Gothic style. In 1927, the station was
moved 100 feet to the east and designed in
the Spanish Colonial Revival-style by Santa
Fe staff.
This new design incorporated intricate
concrete Churrigueresque trim and elaborate
doors carved with Santa Fes cross and circle logo, as well as a lavishly painted ceiling. The Depot, which was built at the height
of the Spanish Colonial Revival period, reflects the Spanish heritage of California and
was inducted into the National Register of
Historic Places in 1982.
Due to its historical significance, the city
has brought in restoration specialist Linnaea
Dix Dawson from Silverlake Conservation
to facilitate repairs to the ceiling, which features a combination of geometric and floral
embellishments.

15

Scaffolding has been erected to provide


access to the ceiling. Ms. Dawson believes
the main problem is the plaster, which has
separated due to the water damage.
Conservation technician Eric Sarbach and
Ms. Dawson are busy stabilizing the plaster
with a complex application of multiple adhesives. Once the plaster is secure, they will
try and save as much of the original paint as
possible with a variety of techniques. The
final step is what Ms. Dawson calls visual
reintegration, or the process of applying
new paint and materials to make the restored
spot look like it belongs.
We want it to look like it is in good condition but not newmore like the old ceiling it is, says Ms. Dawson.
She relates that the original design was
painted using a stencil technique, which
should not be too difficult to replicate.
Thanks to a repeating motif, Ms. Dawson is
able to compare and contrast leaving the
usual guesswork out of this project.
While her efforts are not the first, Ms.
Dawson hopes that her work will integrate
seamlessly and age gracefully with the existing ceiling. She will take steps to make
sure anything her team does can be undone
without damaging the original painting.
Work is expected to be done in time for
the Claremont Pie Festival on Saturday,
March 14. For information, contact the
Community Services Department at (909)

Through March 31: In Tibetan Buddhist Thangka art, sacred geometry underlies the structure of the Thangka
painting. It is believed that this sacred
art creates a portal to spiritual reality
through form and color. Before a monk
is permitted to work on constructing a
mandala he must undergo a long period of technical artistic training and
memorization, learning how to draw
all the various symbols and studying
related philosophical concepts. At the
Namgyal monastery (the personal
monastery of the Dalai lama), for example, this period is three years. This
Thangka art is a combination of a cotton canvas painting sewn into a silk
brocade frame with wooden dowels at
the top and bottom. The paintings are
various Buddhist ritual symbols such
as ornate mandalas and Buddha and
Tara images. All works are handpainted and hand-stitched by Tibetan
monks and artisans living in Nepal.

Spruell. A haphazardly intentional display of whimsical grit. In Mr. Spruells
most recent chapter of paintings and

Builders Association is a series of artworks that are an absurdist construction
of subtle and humorous details interwoven with a blunt force painterly application. Influences range from that of
mug shots, early folk art and Brazilian
street graphics. Each image is a paint
lovers event in which every picture
tells a story of tragedy, humor, irony
and leisure. Mr. Spruell is inspired by
Homer, Van Gogh, Cezanne, Matisse
and Chagall. Art Walk: Friday, March

Boys varsity soccer loses tough match in CIF semi

he Claremont High School boys


varsity soccer teams incredible
season came to an end last Friday
when they lost to Pasadena High during
the quarterfinals of the Southern Section
Division 3 CIF tournament at CHS.

The game played out much like the last two in the
tournament, with Claremont falling
SPORTING
behind 1-0 and then rallying near the
end to throw the game into overtime. LIFE
Only this time, they were not able to snatch victory
from the hands of defeat.
The game was scoreless after 60 minutes of play
when Pasadenas Alexander Hernandez got a surprise
shot from the right side, beating Claremont goalkeeper Kyle Del Campo.
A few minutes later, Claremont responded in a
crazy play where the ball bounced around in front of
the net until it popped out in front of sophomore Osvaldo Lopez who slid into the ball, catching the corner of the net.
Tied after regulation, and at the end of two 10minute overtime periods, the winner was decided by
penalty kicks. Pasadenas goalkeeper Joshua Ramirez
was red hot and blocked three of the Packs four
kicks, sealing the victory for the Bulldogs.
They have a good goalie and he guessed right,
said Coach Fred Bruce-Oliver.
Its just the nature of the game, he said. Last
time we got the PKs and the other team cried.
Claremont played a very good game and had numerous chances to score, but for myriad reasons, it
just did not materialize.
They played much better, thats for sure, said
Bruce Oliver I always tell them dont worry about
the score, just focus on the game and the opportunities will arise.
Claremont ended the season with an 18-2-4 record
overall and 9-0-1 in the Palomares League. Fridays
loss was the only time the boys lost at home and the
first loss since they fell to Chaffey High in December.
They finished the season ranked sixth in the state and
27th in the nation.
The team will still get a banner in the schools gym,
for Palomares League champions; it may not be the
banner they were shooting for, but the boys have
much to make them proud.

DETAILED SUMMARY OF MATTER TO BE VALIDATED:
California Municipal Finance Authority (``the Authority``) has established the Property Assessed Clean Energy (``PACE``) Program (the
``CMFA PACE Program``). The Authority seeks to
implement the CMFA PACE Program in 31 counties
and 42 cities throughout California to encourage and
facilitate the installation of distributed generation renewable energy sources, energy and water efficiency
improvements, seismic stengthening improvements
and/or electric vehicle charging infrastructure by residential and non-residential property owners, which
will save participating property owners money while
conserving rescurces and reducing carbon emissions,
all in furtherance of the Legislature's goals as set forth
in California Streets & Highways Code Section
5898.10 et seq.
The Authority seeks to validate all proceedings, actions, liens and contracts connected with
the CMFA PACE Program, and to obtain an order
from the Superior Court that the proceedings, actions,
liens and contracts related to the CMFA PACE Program are valid, legal and binding and are in conformity with the applicable provisions of all laws and
enactments at any time in force or controlling upon
such proceedings, including but not limited to, the
provisions of Article XIII D of the California Constitution, the due process and contract clauses of the
Constitution of the United States, and their equivalent clauses in the California Constitution.
The Plaintiff has filed a civil complaint
against you. If you wish to contest the legality or validity of the matter that is the subject of this lawsuit,
you must appear and file with the Court a written
pleading in response to the complaint not later than

Unless you so respond, your default
will be entered upon Plaintiff's application, and this
Court may enter a judgment against you for the relief
demanded in the complaint. Persons who contest the
legality or validity of the matters which are the subject of this lawsuit will not be subject to punitive action, such as wage garnishment or seizure of their real
or personal property.

POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering
bidding on this property lien, you should understand
that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property

not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that
the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If
you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or
may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to
the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive
clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting
the county recorders office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this
information. If you consult either of these resources,
you should be aware that the same lender may hold
more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale
date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed
one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary,
trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the
California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made
available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to
those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn
whether your sale date has been postponed, and if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of
this property, you may call 877-484-9942 or visit this
Internet Web site www.USA-Foreclosure.com or

this case 7023.110081. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur
close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on
the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering
bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a
trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not
on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a
trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to
free and clear ownership of the property. You
should also be aware that the lien being auctioned
off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible
for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the
property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that
may exist on this property by contacting the county
recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources,
you should be aware that the same lender may hold
more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the
property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The
sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section
2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the
public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.
If you wish to learn whether your sale date has
been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled
time and date for the sale of this property, you may
call (916) 939-0772 or visit this Internet Web site
www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 14-3470-11. Information
about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale
may not immediately be reflected in the telephone
information or on the Internet Web site. The best
way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Date: 2/26/2015 The Wolf
