Receptive audience hears latest plan for bond measure
T
he police station bond measure
campaign is in full swing, and it
made its debut to a receptive
crowd at the Democratic Club of Clare-
mont meeting Monday evening.
Claremont Police Chief Shelly Vander Veen, Mayor
Larry Schroeder, Finance Director Adam Pirrie and
campaign co-chair Ed Reece spoke to the group about
the city’s need for a new police station and the intrica-
cies of the bond.
Chief Vander Veen told the audience at Pilgrim Place
the current station was woefully inadequate. It was built
in 1972 and made for an all-male department with half
the current force’s size—female officers change in a
locker room in a separate portable building.
The facility can’t withstand current technology, she
said.
“To put it simply, our dispatchers can’t turn on a
portable heater because they’ll blow the circuit, so we
have to be very careful on things that we add to our ex-
isting electrical system because it just can’t hold any
more,” the chief said.
The construction plan, if it passes, is to build the new
facility just west of the current station, move the de-
partment into the new building once its completed and
tear down the old station in favor of a parking lot.
Chief Vander Veen noted the cost and size of the cur-
rent plan is a 45 percent reduction from Measure PS,
which was rejected by the voters in 2015.
“We heard you, and we put a lot of work with the ad
hoc committee to come up with this design,” she said.
Mr. Pirrie went over the specifics of the funding
mechanism, which is a general obligation bond based
on the assessed value of a home.
The $25 million price tag includes $23.5 million of
debt issuance and $1.5 million paid by the city for fur-
niture, fixtures and equipment. This estimate assumes
that no grant funding would be available for the project,
but the door is still open, Mr. Pirrie noted.
“That’s not to say we won’t continue to pursue these
[grant] opportunities,” he said. “We will continue to
work hard in Washington and at a state level to try and
find grants to fund as much of the project as we can.”
A GO bond, he said, was the most common form of
debt issuance for this kind of a project. Under the terms

“ Mr. Pirrie said the city would have to look into
of the GO bond, colleges, churches, private schools and
other nonprofits are exempt from paying into the bond.
The average payment would be around $24.47 per
$100,000 of assessed value. A home with a $500,000
assessed value, for instance, would pay around $155.55
a year, Mr. Pirrie said.

Sandy Hester asked if there was a plan for low-in-
come residents or those on a fixed income who might
have trouble paying the bond.
“Will there be some kind of accommodation or
process by which you’d consider maybe case-by-case?”
she asked.
whether they could provide a subsidy for those who
qualify, but explained that it would come at a cost.
“The city would have to take money from the general
fund to make up the difference for those properties, but

ble,” Mr. Pirrie said.

The total increases could be 13 percent

CicLAvia, Earth Day event planning begins

M
ark your calendars, Clare-
mont—CicLAvia is coming to
town on April 22.
Around 30 residents gathered at the Hughes Center
to listen to representatives for the popular Los Ange-
les outdoor event talk about the plan Wednesday
evening.
CicLAvia started in LA in 2010, but has its roots in
Bogota, Colombia, where city officials have shut
down streets once a week and on holidays since the
1970s in favor of pedestrians and bicyclists.
“Essentially they said, ‘What would closing down
streets and opening them up to the people look like,’”
CicLAvia Executive Director Romel Pascual said.
Activists who traveled to Bogota wanted to repli-
cate the idea in LA, something that Mr. Pascual, who
was Deputy Mayor at the time, was initially skeptical
about.
“And we did it, and the result was, people showed
up,” he said.
Since the first CicLAvia, there have been 24 events
and 1.3 million attendees. Miles of city streets have
been opened to the public to walk, bike, or ride any
non-motorized device along the route.
The plan for April’s event is to shut down Bonita

San Dimas to College Avenue in Claremont, a total of For those who can’t walk the entire length of the along Bonita Avenue and Arrow Highway would es-

ing morning—along with Mayor Pro
Tem Opanyi Nasiali, City Manager
Tony Ramos, Claremont Colleges CEO
Stig Lanesskog and Harvey Mudd Col-
lege President Maria Klawe—to dis-

Mr. Schroeder said the Colleges have
talked about a “roundabout figure” of
$1 million, though he hopes for more.
The Colleges have said previously
they would only pay into the bond a
figure equivalent to the percentage of
calls for service to the campuses. That
figure hovers around three percent,
which is equal to approximately
$750,000.
Mr. Schroeder told the crowd that the

ence at the Colleges goes beyond just

911 calls.
“We supply more than just serv-
ices—active shooter training, a lot of
time involved with bike thefts and other
things to the Colleges,” he said. “So,
we’re going to hit them hard tomorrow
and see what happens.”
When the COURIER called Mr.
Schroeder on Wednesday to ask about
the meeting, he would only say there
was an amount discussed, but nothing
was decided. He did not share what that
number was.
“We talked about their contribution
and what that might be, and we’re
going to see what they come back with
from the council [of college presi-
dents],” he said.
Ms. Klawe was traveling on Wednes-
day and was unavailable for comment.
In a statement provided to the
COURIER, Mr. Lanesskog said the dis-
cussion is still ongoing.
“We continue to be in discussions
with the city and at this time no deci-
sion has been made about the potential
of a contribution from the Colleges to
the police department,” the statement
read. “We appreciate being part of the
conversation.”
Mr. Lanesskog was a member of the
police facility ad hoc committee, a 15-
member body that formulated the de-
tails of this new bond measure.
Karen Rosenthal put forth the idea
that the “court of public opinion” could
be used to get the Colleges to con-
tribute, emphasizing that most residents
will question whether $1 million is
enough.
“We love living in a college commu-
nity, but they really should be doing
their fair share,” she said.
Andy Winnick wondered why the
city hadn’t gone down other avenues,
such as churches or other nonprofits, to
look for further contributions.
Mr. Schroeder expressed confidence
there would be many other funding
sources in the future if the bond were
passed, especially from county and
state officials.
“Once the bond issue passes, and
you’re a county supervisor or an assem-
blyman or a state senator and you have
some controlled money, that’s a win-
ning proposition to contribute to,” Mr.
Schroeder said.

facts. Having been involved with historic
preservation for some time now, I have
observed that there is much more misin-
formation about the topic than there are
facts.
In order to navigate this topic it is important to un-
derstand what makes a building historic. We are fortu-
nate in the US to have nationally-accepted criteria that
helps us to determine the significance of an historic
structure. The National Park Service is responsible for
the National Register of Historic Places.
The process to nominate a historic place worthy of
preservation starts with the State Historic Preservation
Office. Nominations go through the state office and, if
approved, are then sent for review by the National
Register Office, which determines if the building will
be placed on the National Register.
Building is defined under the guidelines of the Na-
tional Register as, “A building, such as a house, barn,
church, hotel, or similar construction, is created princi-
pally to shelter any form of human activity. Building
may also be used to refer to a historically and func-
tionally related unit, such as a courthouse and jail or a
house and barn.”
Buildings eligible for the National Register must in-
clude all of their basic structural elements. Parts of
buildings, such as interiors, facades or wings, are not
eligible independent of the rest of the existing build-
ing. The building as a whole must be considered and
its significant features must be identified.
In the case of a building that has lost any of its basic
structural elements, it is considered a “ruin” and may
be categorized as an historic site. Typically, a building
must be at least 50 years old, must retain a high degree
of integrity and must have a certain level of historical
significance.
Examples of buildings under the National Register
Criteria for Evaluation include an administration
building, carriage house, church, city or town hall,
courthouse, detached kitchen, barn and privy, dormito-
ry, fort, garage, hotel, house, library, mill building, of-
fice building, post office, school, social hall, shed, sta-
ble, store, theater or a train station.
In Claremont, we have a number of buildings that
are on the National Register that fall into the examples
above including The Santa Fe Depot, Padua Theatre,
Pitzer House and Renwick House. The other buildings
in Claremont that are on the Historic Register are list-
ed as part of a “district.”
Under National Register criteria, “A district possess-
es a significant concentration, linkage, or continuity of
sites, buildings, structures, or objects united historical-
ly or aesthetically by plan or physical development.”
Examples of this are the Russian Village District, In-
tercultural Housing District and the Scripps College
Historic District.
To qualify for the National Register, a property must
be significant—it must represent a significant part of
the history, architecture, archaeology, engineering or
culture of an area. It must have the characteristics that
make it a good representative of properties associated
with that aspect of the past. In other words, it must be
evaluated within its historic context.
Historic contexts are the patterns or trends in history
by which a specific occurrence, property or site is un-
derstood and its meaning within history is made clear.
Areas of significance can range from architecture to
art to economics to industry, and from education to
law to landscape architecture to religion. Local historic
context represents an aspect of the history of a town,
city, county, cultural area or region and is defined by
the importance of the property, not necessarily the
physical location of the property.
To be eligible for listing as an historic building on
Claremont COURIER/Friday, February 2, 2018 6
the State or National Register, a resource must meet at
least one of the following criteria in conjunction with
its historic context:
Criterion A: Is associated with events that have
made a significant contribution to broad patterns of
our history. Examples of this would be the long run-
ning performances by the Mexican Players at the Pad-
ua Hills Theatre, or the Santa Fe Depot because of the
establishment of the city by the railroad.
Criterion B: Is associated with the lives of persons
significant in our past. Examples of this would be the
Padua Hills Theatre again because of the association
of Bess and Herman Garner or the Renwick House be-
cause of Helen Goodwin Renwick and her contribu-
tions to the development of the city, Pomona College
and the forerunner of Pilgrim Place, the Claremont
Missionary Home.
Criterion C: Embodies the distinctive characteristics
of a type, period or method of construction, or repre-
sents the work of a master, or possesses high artistic
values, or represents a significant and distinguishable
entity who components may lack individual distinction.
Examples of this would be the Padua Hills Theatre,
again because of its distinctive architectural features as
well as the architects who designed it, Marston and
Maybury. The Scripps College campus qualifies under
this criteria because of its architecture and the architect
who designed it, Gordon Kaufmann.
Criterion D: Has yielded, or may be likely to yield,
information important in history or prehistory. Exam-
ples of this are typically not found in historic buildings
in Claremont. This criteria is more closely associated
with archeological sites.
The mesa north of Foothill Boulevard and east of
Indian Hill where the golf course once stood and is
home to the Botanic Garden was occupied by indige-
nous peoples, and could be a site that might yield im-
portant information in history or prehistory.
Preserving historic properties is an important reflec-
tion of our shared heritage. It helps us to remember
who we are and from where we came as a people. It
creates a common sense of place for the community.
The noted architect, I.M. Pei, says it perfectly: “Archi-
tecture is the very mirror of life. You only have to cast
your eyes on buildings to feel the presence of the past,
the spirit of a place; they are the reflection of society.”
All these political crazy
ups and downs every
day and night with
polls, yelling elected
officials and critics is
wearing me out. With
football, after a couple
of hours you get a
winner and a loser.

Ellen Browning Scripps
Dear Editor:
I would like to express my deep ap-
preciation to the COURIER for putting
the story of Ellen Browning Scripps into
my hands, to Professor Gayle Green for
writing the story, and to Molly McClain
for doing the painstaking research that it
took to document the remarkable life of
the founder of Scripps College.
As I participated in the Women’s
March this month I felt very keenly the
spirits of our foremothers who had
marched before us for safe working con-
ditions, the vote, an end to child labor,
and so much more. Yet I did not realize,
until I read your article, that one of our
feminist foremothers had brought us the
beautiful college that graces our city, and
that this was just one of her pioneering
accomplishments.
Hopefully now that the story is
known, Ellen Browning Scripps will be
given the honor due to her by her college
and by our community. Nancy Mintie

Making the Gold Line golder
Dear Editor:
As a student without a car, I utilize
public transportation to explore places
in LA County and would like to share
my perspective on the Metro Gold Line
construction.
First, Metro should end the line at
Pomona instead of Montclair. Overlap-
READERS’ COMMENTS
ping the Pomona to Montclair stretch
that Metrolink currently covers on the
San Bernardino Line would be counter-
productive because it will do little to at-
tract new users. Metro’s $279 million
shortfall to carry out its current plan
risks construction delays, or worse, the
project’s elimination.
Trimming the line would substantial-
ly reduce time and costs associated with
building new stations and massive park-
ing structures and relocating existing
train tracks. Rather, Metro should team
up with Metrolink to ease connections
from Pomona to Montclair.
Second, in order to increase ridership,
Metro and Metrolink need to build lines
that cut long-distance travel times sig-
nificantly. For example, the quickest trip
from Claremont to Anaheim takes 30
minutes by car but at least two hours by
train, because it has to first stop in LA.
A solution to form more direct paths
would be to construct a circular line that
surrounds LA, such as London’s Circle
Line.
Furthermore, Metro and Metrolink
need to make public transportation far
more attractive if they truly want to
boost ridership. Metrolink should rein-
state express trains to cut down travel
time. Rail lines that connect people to
LA’s major airports would be a wel-
come addition.
Metro and buses should not only in-
crease frequency but also put more ef-
fort into reliability and safety. My wish
for public transportation is that it will
prove one can go green and save money
without making sacrifices.

The meaning of Christmas
Dear Editor:
“Humbug!” to your correspondent
from Colorado (Letters, December 22).
The Grinch did not steal Christmas,
though he tried. Nor did the organizers
of Claremont’s tree-lighting ceremony,
who didn’t try. They couldn’t.
As the Grinch came to realize—
though not your correspondent, alas
and alack—Christmas is not the trap-
pings of Christmas, nor even the word
“Christmas.” Christmas is “a little bit
more.” Charles Young
Claremont
A silver lining
Dear Editor:
There is a famous saying that every
dark cloud has a silver lining. This
metaphor simply denotes that there ex-
ists a hopeful comforting aspect of
every ugly event.
This phrase was well presented in a
film I saw at St. Mary’s Catholic
Church, The Sultan and the Saint.
This story is a drama that was played
during the Crusades when the dialogue
took place between St. Francis of Assisi
and Sultan Malik al-Kamil. Unlike the
Claremont COURIER/Friday, February 2, 2018 7
hateful environment of killing and vio-
lence, the role of the Sultan and the
Christian leader St. Francis of Assisi,
was an incredible act of reconciliation
and affection amidst the looming clouds
of hate on both the Muslim and Chris-
tian side.
It appeared that the clock started turn-
ing backwards, and certainly love and
affection overpowered the warring fac-
tions. I recommend every one to watch
this PBS film. We are indebted to St.
Mary’s church for sharing this great
piece with us.
History and these meetings are a liv-
ing example that no mater what the
magnitude of hate or propensity to fight,
love still can over come and all the dark
clouds that give rise to unstoppable rage
can calm down and bring humanity to
reign supreme.
My friends, our motto, “Love for all,
hatred for none,” is the best slogan to
live by especially in these days of self-
ishness and cut-throat competition.
May God help us all in this new year
of 2018. Anwer Khan

Colonel Margaret P. Phillips
WWII, Vietnam veteran, dedicated community volunteer
Colonel Margaret Patricia Phillips, who
died peacefully November 19 at Claremont
Place, was a member of “The Greatest
Generation.”
This group, “came of age in the 1940s,
had survived the poverty of the Great De-
pression to win a global war that cost 60
million lives, while participating in the
most profound economic and technolog-
ical transformation in human history,”
wrote Victor David Hanson. “Their
achievement from 1941 to 1945 remains
unprecedented.”
She was born June 23, 1923 in Detroit,
Michigan, the eldest of four children to
Welsh-born parents Gladys Rose Crowther
and Edwin Trevor Phillips. A set of iden-
tical twins, Harry and Leyson, were her
younger brothers, and a sister, Martha,
completed the family. She graduated from
Detroit’s Cooley High School in 1941 and
entered Chicago’s Evangelical College,
where she earned her nursing degree in
1944. She entered active duty in the
Army Nurse Core as a registered nurse in
early 1945, and was commissioned as a
second lieutenant. She completed her ba-
sic training at Fort McCoy, Wisconsin.
Col. Phillips’ army career lasted 32
years, 10 months and seven days. Her first
active duty was on Okinawa, Japan, dur-
ing World War II. She often told a story
about a night early on in Japan when she
and her fellow nurses heard gunfire,
which they believed to mean the Japanese
had taken the island. But it turned out that
American soldiers were firing their guns
in celebration because the war was over!
She served in Germany, Hawaii and
Japan after World War II. Other tours of
duty included Vietnam, where she was pro-
moted to Chief Nurse of Vietnam during
that conflict. She was also appointed
Chief Nurse of Korea after the cessation
of the Korean War.
In the 1960s, Col. Phillips settled in
Denver, Colorado. She was a proud citi-
zen of the Mile High City and relished
showing visitors Denver’s historic Mol-
ly Brown House and Brown Palace Ho-
tel. She happily drove visitors through Col-
orado’s Rocky Mountains and to see the
The same energy she had given to her
military career she transferred to her re-
tirement, her family shared, becoming her
community’s neighborhood watch block
captain, working the polls during elections,
volunteering at Ebert Elementary School,
serving as the president of the Retired
Army Nurse Core Association, attending
and volunteering at St. Luke’s Episcopal
Church, participating in the Town Hall Lec-
ture Series, and collecting used clothing for
Denver’s Rescue Mission and the Center
for Work, Education and Employment.
She was an animal lover, owned many
dogs and cats over the years, and supported
her local animal shelter. She also became
a member of the Denver chapter of the Mil-
itary Order of the World Wars. In 1998, the
group presented Col. Phillips with the
Patrick Henry Award for Patriotism.
Between all of these activities, she cre-
ated and kept up ties with a large circle of
sights in Cripple Creek, Central City friends from childhood and her many mil-
and Vail. She retired in 1978, completing itary placements around the world. She

OBITUARIES
In May 2017, along with two other
World War II veterans, she joined the
American Legion’s Memorial Day cele-
bration at Oak Park Cemetery in Clare-
mont. During the observation the veterans
shook hands with children and adults, who
thanked them for their service. In July, she
and fellow World War II veteran Bill Hayes
rode in Claremont’s annual Fourth of
July parade and were cheered enthusias-
tically by the crowds along the route.
Her last few years were enjoyable as she
acclimated to California, her family
shared. She made new friends at Clare-
mont Place, visited with family, attended
plays and concerts, and delighted in the
beauty and charm of Claremont, “the City
of Trees and PhDs.”
Her family would like to acknowl-
edge their appreciation for the love and nur-
turing Col. Phillips received from the ex-
ceptional staff at Claremont Place, and
from VNA Hospice and Palliative Care of
Southern California for their excellent care
during her time in hospice.
A private funeral, with full military hon-
ors, including a gun salute, was held at For-
est Lawn, Covina Hills on December 2. At
the funeral, a release of 33 doves sym-
bolized her many years in military serv-
ice. A celebration of life was held January
21 at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church. At
this event, another 33 doves were released,
and guests viewed Col. Phillips’ 2008 Li-
brary of Congress interview for The Vet-
erans Project, a video archive of stories
from World War II and Vietnam veterans.
To view the segment, visit loc.gov/vets,
click on “search the veterans collections,”
and search for Margaret Patricia Phillips.
Col. Phillips often quoted a stanza by
Canadian poet Edward Markham, which
will be printed on her grave marker. It ex-
emplifies how she lived her life, serving her
country, inspiring others with her seemingly
inexhaustible energy, and giving her time
and resources to her community:
“There is a destiny that makes us
brothers
None walks his way alone.
That which I put into the life of another
Comes back into my own.”

Eve Tessier
Mother, entrepreneur, longtime Claremont fixture
Longtime Claremont resident Eve
Tessier, 96, died December 17, 2017, in
Salinas, California, where her son Thomas
Miles Tessier lives.
Mrs. Tessier was born March 13, 1921
in Sterling, Illinois. She traveled west dur-
ing World War II to teach dance lessons at
Arthur Murray Dance Studios in Los
Angeles and to entertain US troops prepar-
ing for deployment in the Pacific. During
this time she also received her training as
a cosmetologist.
In early 1945 she met Steve Tessier at
a dance for servicemen at the Hollywood
Palladium. They were married on March
12, 1945, in Texas, where Mr. Tessier was
stationed as a flight instructor.
After the war, the Tessiers settled in
Claremont, where they welcomed three
children, Linda, Susan and Thomas. They
ran many enterprises over the years.
Mrs. Tessier worked for a short time in
the Village until opening her own salon on
Padua Avenue, which became quite suc-
cessful.
The Tessiers also ran an egg and poul-
try ranch on Padua Avenue for many years.
Mr. Tessier ran the ranch with the help of
the family and delivered eggs and chick-
ens to the local community. The Tessiers’
entrepreneurial spirit and work ethic was

Neighborhood kids spent endless hours
pretending that the tree house was every-
thing from Fort Sumner, to the Alamo, to
a spaceship bound for Mars, the family
shared. The Tessiers made sure that the tree
house was well built, safe and fun, they
added.
“Mrs. Tessier always made sure that we
kids had something to eat and were well
supervised,” the family shared. “She
gave us the freedom to come and go, while
keeping an eye out for our well being. She
was a very attentive mother, not only to

about the Tessier house was a color tele-
vision, which was nearly unheard of in
those days. Additionally, two big sisters
with the largest collection of 45 rpm hits
of the day to listen to on the phonograph
was a another big draw.”
Mrs. Tessier was always active in
Democratic politics. A polling station
was located at the family home for many
years before it moved to the fire station on
Padua and Mount Baldy Road. She was
also a devout Catholic, and was adamant
about her family attending mass. Later in
her life she became quite active in Clare-
mont’s Granite Creek congregation.
Mr. and Mrs. Tessier were avid bridge
players, and hosted many tournaments in
their home. There was always a supply of
onion dip and chips at these affairs. Mrs.
Tessier also loved classical music, which
was heard often around the home.
The Tessier kids were encouraged to
learn to play musical instruments, which
they continued into their adult lives—Tom
is accomplished on a number of stringed
instruments; Linda is a piano virtuoso; Su-
san learned to play the violin and piano,
and Mr. Tessier even played the harmon-
ica. It was quite a musical family. Mrs.
Tessier was also an avid dancer, a trait she
passed on to her kids.
She was president and/or active in the
local PTA while her children were in
school, where she was known to be kind
and generous, her family shared. She
was also involved in Al-Anon and
Overeaters Anonymous, and was a men-
neohe, Hawaii for the last seven years of
her life.

“It did not matter what time of the day
or night, Eve was always available to give
advice and encouragement,” her family
said. “She was well liked and respected in
the community.”
In her later years, Mrs. Tessier was very
active in Real Connections, a group for
Claremont seniors. Its mission is to share
in camaraderie, outings, dances and social
events and to help seniors live independ-
ently. Real Connections gave Mrs. Tessier
the skills she needed to stay in the home
in the city she loved so much, a gift for
which the family is grateful.
Mrs. Tessier was preceded in death by
her longtime husband, Steve Tessier.
She is survived by her children, Linda
Tessier of Pomona, Susan Cheverton of
Brea and Thomas Miles Tessier of Salinas.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that
donations be made in Mrs. Tessier’s name

Mrs. Tessier’s memorial service is
scheduled for 1 p.m. on Saturday, February

longtime resource for the entire Tessier
family, helping them deal with day-to-day

boys basketball is hav-
ing one of the best
seasons in recent history and,
if they keep winning, will add
a Palomares League title ban-
ner to the CHS gym.
Claremont and Diamond Bar cur-
rently have the same league record, 5-2.
However, the Brah-
mas narrowly won SPORTING
the first time the LIFE
teams met, so the
Pack is relegated to second place. If
both teams win this Thursday and next
Tuesday, then the title game will take
place next Thursday when Claremont
hosts Diamond Bar.
But Claremont must first get by a
very talented Bonita team and stave off
an upset by last-place Ayala.
The Brahmas, meanwhile, will have
a much easier time facing Ayala and
second-to-last-place South Hills.
Claremont had a pretty easy time de-
feating South Hills, 65-32, Tuesday at
CHS. The Pack’s strong defense essen-
tially shut down the Huskies all night,
so it was just a matter of how hot
Claremont’s shooting would be.
During the first half, the Pack’s aim
three-pointers, which were spot on. By
the third quarter, Claremont found its
groove and really put the Huskies
away, extending its already generous
lead to 30-plus points.
Junior Matthew Dirckx led the Pack
in scoring with 12 points, followed by
senior Christian Jordan with 10. Senior
Jacob Henry was golden in three-point-
ers, going three for three. Jordan pulled
in seven rebounds, Henry had six and
freshman Isaiah Love claimed five.
The team player award goes to soph-
omore Joshua Chen, who contributed
seven points, plus had four steals and
four assists.
If the Pack had one weakness Tues-
day, it was shooting percentage. Only
two players, Chen and Nat Oluseyi-
oke, cracked 50 percent.
“We have shown to be a pretty good
third quarter basketball team, and they
stay at it. I think the chemistry is out-
standing with this group and I think
that has a lot to do with our success,”
Coach Stan Tolliver said.
The Pack experienced several in-
juries early in the season. In December,
Jordan was out for eight games, while

CHS ROUNDUP
GIRLS BASKETBALL
Claremont won another league game
Tuesday, defeating South Hills, 60-49, at
home.
The girls held on to a nice lead most of
the game, but the Huskies made a come-
from-behind effort in the final quarter, nar-
rowing the Pack’s lead to just four points.
However, Claremont rallied, adding sev-
en points in the final two minutes for the
win.
Sophomore Jessica Andrada led the of-
fense with 16 points, followed by senior
Camille Troncone with 13, senior Laurel
Marchant with 11 and freshman Maleah
Richardson with nine.
Under Coach Mike James’ tutelage,
Claremont has come a long way from pre-
vious seasons, during which the girls lost
all of their league games. They seem to be
improving every week, even as league play
winds down. For example, first-place
Glendora stomped the Pack, 57-33, when
the teams met in January, but last week
Claremont kept it close, losing 49-41.
“We really put a lot of emphasis early
in the season on our defense—learning
how to help, learning how to trust each oth-
er and work together. Then we spent the
last month or so getting into the gym and
working on shots. It’s all starting to come
together at the right time,” Coach James
said.
The girls’ league record now stands at
3-4, which should be good enough for an
at-large berth in the CIF tournament, ac-
cording to Coach James.
If the Pack can win against Bonita on
Friday in La Verne, then the girls should
have sole possession of third place.
“I don’t want to be the one who has to
play us in the first round [of CIF],” Coach
James said.
BOYS SOCCER
Claremont boys soccer is tantalizing-
ly close to getting a Palomares League ti-
tle after handing undefeated Glendora their
first loss last week.

juries. We are trying to get through but
guys are stepping up,” Coach Tolliver
said. “We are a pretty resilient team.”
Claremont also has a very young
basketball team, with six sophomores
and two freshmen.
Last year Claremont finished with an
8-2 record, just behind the Bearcats,
who were 9-1 and league champs.
“It’s been a balanced league, proba-
bly more balanced than we have seen in
the past couple of years,” Coach Tolliv-
er said. “We’ve got Bonita coming up
next, they’re one game out and they are
a good basketball team.”
The coach demurred when asked
about the prospect of a league title.
“We’re pushing for it, but you’ve got to
take it one game at a time.”

The Pack, 6-1-1, must win all of their remaining games
while hoping that Glendora, 7-1-0 loses one more. If the
Tartans tie one of their remaining games, they will share
the title with Claremont.
GIRLS SOCCER
The stars aligned perfectly for Claremont High
School girls soccer last Thursday night in two unexpected
results.
First, the Wolfpack stunned top-ranked and undefeated
South Hills with a 4-0 drubbing at home.
Senior Elisabeth Chua and junior Janelle Gutierrez each
scored twice with assists from junior Sophie Jones and
senior Lily Whitenack.
As the Pack celebrated their victory, last-place Dia-
mond Bar upset second-place Glendora, 1-0. The sur-
prising set of events put South Hills’ league title into ques-
tion, if only for a short while.
As fate would have it, Claremont’s hopes of a second
straight league title were dashed Tuesday when South
Hills narrowly defeated Glendora, 3-2, putting the
Huskies beyond reach.
Also on Tuesday, Claremont came up with a decisive,
3-0, victory over Bonita in La Verne and regained sec-
ond place. Goals came from Chua, senior Savanna Beans
and freshman Emily Maass.
The girls are now 5-2-1 in league and 17-4-3 overall.
GIRLS WATER POLO
Claremont clinched the Palomares League champi-
onship with a stunning 20-6 victory over Bonita on Tues-
day, followed by a 15-5 thumping of Ayala on Claremont’s Christian Jordan and Joshua Chen
Wednesday. The Pack, 7-0, has only one more league chase after a loose ball during the Pack’s 65-32 win

The girls had a remarkable season and are looking for-

SQUARE i GALLERY

“Story in Oil,” featuring works by John
Kosta. Approximately 30 of Mr. Kosta’s
most recent oil paintings all completed with-
in the past 24 months. These paintings de-
pict stories. Quiet landscapes seem long de-
parted only a memory of someone’s past.
Portraits are of people in the midst of
thought and introspection. What are they
thinking? What journey brought them
here? And Mr. Kosta’s urban landscapes,
often void of actual inhabitants, are paint-
ed in grays, blues and ochres as if the moods
of the residents form the actual brush
strokes of oil on the canvas.

The World Affairs Forum and Religions
Committee of Pilgrim Place co-sponsor a
free 7 p.m. conversation with Robert
Chase at Decker Hall, 665 Avery Rd.,
Claremont. Mr. Chase will read excerpts
from his new book, Beyond the Comma,
“in which he builds on the image of the
comma, a mark of punctuation that sepa-
rates everything that comes before, from
all that is to follow, and applies it to the life
journey,” a press release read. “Some are
intentionally planned, like a sabbatical or
the birth of a child, and some are imposed
by forces beyond our control, such as a dev-
astating diagnosis or a natural disaster. The
author challenges the reader to be attentive
to these shifts in our lives and to navigate
the multi-layered intersections that such mo-
ments reveal. Chase contends that as we en-
gage these moments creatively, we become
more fully human.” Reza Aslan, author of
No God but God and Zealot, said. Mr.
Chase retired in 2017 after serving for 10
years as founding director of Intersections
International, a permanent, multi-faith ini-
tiative of the Collegiate Church of New

All right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by

LINCOLN HIGH COURT, LOS ANGELES, CA
90031 A.P.N.: 5209-011-003 The undersigned Trustee
disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street
address or other common designation, if any, shown above.
The sale will be made, but without covenant or warrant,
expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or en-
cumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the
note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust with interest there-
on, as provided in said note(s), advances, under the terms
of said Deed of Trust, fees, charges and expenses of the
Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust.
The total amount of the unpaid principal balance of the
obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable
estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the
initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $268,813.65
Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid
less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time
of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt.
If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason,
the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall
be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the
successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The
beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered
to the undersigned a written request to commence fore-
closure, and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default
and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where
the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL
BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this prop-
erty lien, you should understand that there are risks in-
volved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bid-
ding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the high-
est 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 sen-
ior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive
clear title to the property. You are encouraged to inves-
tigate 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 this property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, pursuant to the Clare-
mont Municipal Code, that the City Council will conduct
a public hearing to consider a proposed Historical Prop-
erty Agreement (Mills Act) for the property at 492 West
Eighth Street (File #17-MA01). The hearing will be held
on Tuesday, February 13, 2018, commencing at
7:00 p.m., in the City Council Chamber, located at 225
West Second Street. At this time all interested persons are
invited to appear and be heard.
The proposed Mills Act is between the City of Claremont
25
and the owners (Terry and Laurence Grill) of the historic
property located at 492 West Eighth Street. If approved,
the agreement will ensure the long-term preservation of
both exterior and interior character-defining features of
the property by providing a tax reduction to the proper-
ty owner, in exchange for funding and completing work
on the property.
The City Council is the final decision-making body on
Mills Act Agreements. The Architectural Commission re-
viewed the proposed Mills Act Agreement at their Jan-
uary 10, 2018 public hearing, and voted unanimously to
recommend that the City Council approve the Agreement.
NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that the proposed
scheduled improvements within the contract are cate-
gorically exempt from the California Environmental Qual-
ity Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15331 in that these
improvements are for the restoration and rehabilitation of
a historical resource, will be conducted in a manner con-
sistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards of the
Office of Historic Preservation of the Department of Parks
and Recreation, United States Secretary of the Interior’s
Guidelines for Rehabilitation of Historic Properties,
and the State Historical Building Code, and will be sub-
ject to applicable City permitting requirements. Therefore,
no further environmental review is necessary.
Copies of the proposed Agreement are available at the Plan-
ning Division, Claremont City Hall, 207 Harvard Avenue,
Monday through Thursday, from 7 am until 6 pm. For more
information on the proposal, please contact Assistant Plan-
ner Nikola Hlady at (909) 399-5353, or send written com-
ments to P.O. Box 880, Claremont, CA 91711-0880.
Finally, in compliance with the Americans with Disabil-
ities Act of 1990, any person with a disability who requires
a modification or accommodation in order to participate
in a City meeting should contact the City Clerk at
(909)399-5461 “VOICE” or 1-800-735-2929 “TT/TTY”
at least three working days prior to the meeting, if possi-
ble.

What Geoff’s clients are saying . . .
“We have recently completed our fifth transaction with Geoff Hamill over the past 20 years. Once again, he surpassed our expectations! Our
house sold quickly and well above asking price. Geoff's knowledge of Claremont and the surrounding area is superior, and he is a consummate
professional. He takes the time to answer even the smallest questions, and has a reassuring and calm demeanor. Because Geoff is a Claremont
native, he knows the history of what seems like EVERY house in town. Very entertaining!! Sadly, we have moved out of the area, but we are very
hopeful that we will get to work with Geoff again sometime in the future” —M. & E. Strange
“Geoff Hamill was the agent for the sale of my Claremont Village home, and he made the experience pleasant and stress free. He and attends to
every detail of the listing and sale promptly, and I believe that he represented me as well as possible. Geoff was considerate and gave me good
advice for staging and preparing my home for sale. I believe his expertise and connections in my neighborhood and Claremont in general are the
best. I recommend him without reservation” —J. Spera & A. Conway
“Over the past 19 years, Geoff has helped us buy or sell two homes in Claremont. What you hear and read about Geoff only tells part of the story.
Working with him as a buyer or seller will provide you with what it means to have a FULL service real estate professional. Geoff and is second to
none. We could not recommend him highly enough.” —J. & L. Romo
“Geoff Hamill is the best in his business. In all areas he has the knowledge, foresight, experience and kind demeanor to guide you through an
easy and seamless real estate transaction. I highly recommend Geoff for all real estate needs!!” —D. & C. Hine

Approx. Number of Homes Currently For Sale 41
What an incredible year for Claremont real estate! Sales, as well as prices, were way up
on average over last year. There were several interesting trends of note in 2017—
inventory, defined by the number of homes that were actively on the market for sale at
any given time, only reached into the 70s for about 2 weeks of the year. The inventory for
the majority of the year fluctuated in the 60s. The year began much the same way that
2018 appears to be doing so, with inventory in the 30s. Despite the lower inventory
available at any given time, sales were 9 percent greater in 2017 than in 2016. This
indicates that homes were selling almost as quickly as they were entering the market. It
was common throughout the year for homes to sell within 5-7 days of hitting the market,
thus keeping inventory low, and sales high. Another big jump this year was in the average
price of the homes that sold. Prices jumped 10 percent over 2016, in all price ranges.
Running the numbers for the top 10 highest sales for both years revealed a 9.5 percent
increase in 2017, meaning that even when exclucing the highest sales, the market
appears to have jumped up about 10 percent over 2016. This is significant, and explains
the much larger number of homes selling over $750,000. Interest rates remained at about
4 percent throughout the year, which likely continues to contribute to strong sales. Money
is cheap, and buyers are trying to take advantage of that as long as it lasts. The big
question is, “are we at the top?” If you had asked me the same question this time last
year, I would have replied, “we just have to be,” yet another year passed with a rapidly
growing real estate market. It’s anybody’s guess what will happen in 2018. Will this be the
year we hit the top, or will it continue to rise into 2019 and beyond? Check back monthly
for the latest figures!
