Great work
Dear Editor: A colleague dropped by to see me yesterday, a copy of the Claremont COURIER in hand. The recent edition showed photos of a dance class in progress and a violin-maker at work, all by Steven Felschundneff. My co-worker said, I thought youd enjoy seeing this. The work reminds me of what you do. Great work by Steven. I am very glad to see the Claremont COURIER continuing its long tradition of great displays of fine newspaper photojournalism.

Family-friendly policies
Dear Editor: Twenty years ago this week, President Bill Clinton signed the first national law ever to help workers meet the dual demands of job and family. Since then, workers have used the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) more than 100 million times to take job-protected leave to recover from serious illness or help a close relative do so, or care for a new child.

I am one of these workers. I used FMLA after my daughter was born in 1993. While I was on leave, my husband was hit by a car. We scraped by cobbling together what was left of our savings and his disability benefits. Im incredibly grateful for my time at home after Emma was born, however, many others cannot take leave because they work part-time, are new to their jobs, or work for small employers. Even more people cannot afford to take the unpaid leave the federal law provides. Its unfortunate since study after study shows that these types of benefits create a more productive workforce. The National Partnership for Women & Families is leading efforts to expand the FMLA so that it covers more workers who need to take leave for more reasons, and to put a paid family and medical insurance program in place. I urge our elected officials take these steps. Family-friendly policies are good for all of us.

City budget planning pays off with public safety dividend
laremonts budget success is coming back to the community in the form of a new part-time police detective. The Claremont City Council approved the $30 an hour, $32,500 a year job Tuesday.
In the wake of the passage of the Public Safety Realignment Bill in October 2011, police are enCITY countering an increased COUNCIL number of low-level offenders released from county jail. In Claremont alone, police have seen a 10 percent increase in arrests of people who are either on active parole or probation. With increased repeat lawbreakers out on the streets as a result of this legislationup to 30,000 over these next several yearsCaptain Jon Traber and councilmembers believe the added patrol will help deter criminals from making a stop in Claremont. Realignment is the thorn in our eye at the moment, and we need to deal with it, said Mayor Pro Tem Opanyi Nasiali, with unanimous support from the rest of the council. As it is, Claremont has seen a 7 percent increase in Part I crimes over the past year. Part I crimes are comprised of both violent offenses against persons (homicide, rape, robbery, assault) and those against property (burglary, theft, auto theft and arson). In 2012 there were 947 Part I crimes reported as compared to 2011s 887, according to Capt. Traber. Of these offenses, 40 were violent, as compared to 33 in 2011, while 907 consisted of property crimes. Over the last several months, police have seen an uptick in property crimes, with home invasions and auto thefts keeping the Claremont community on heightened alert. Capt. Traber believes this is a direct result of the realignment bill. In some cases, before the ink on the report is dry these folks are coming back or being released, Capt. Traber said, adding, We continue to follow up on those crimes as they occur and make arrests. Though acknowledging the recent burglary increase, Capt. Traber noted that crime in Claremont remains significantly below the citys all-time high of 1661 Part I crimes, which occurred in 1985. The most effective way to combat these crimes is to take a 3-pronged approach, reminded Mayor Larry Schroeder: lock doors, keep belongings out of sight and report any suspicious activity. Community watch groups, like north Claremonts Keeping Good in the Neighborhood, are another key way to keep local crime at bay, added Claremont Police Chief Paul Cooper. The people need to be our eyes and ears, Chief Cooper said. Police pooch receives warm welcome The new part-time detective position
The Claremont Police Department welcomed Dodger, a British Labrador, the force this week.

is not the only boost to the Claremont Police Departments ranks. Police also have a brand-new, 4-legged staff member. Dodger the drug dog, a one-year-old British Lab, made his council debut on Tuesday night, much to the delight of onlookers, accompanied by Claremont Officer Sean Evans. Dodger was equally excited, jumping up to greet the councilmembers. He took a particular interest in Councilmember Sam Pedroza, which suprred a chorus of laughter. Didnt you take something out of that suit? Mayor Larry Schroeder joked. Dodger has been busy visiting school sites with Officer Evans and working patrol duty, all with a positive attitude, according to the DARE officer. All he wants to do is work, said Officer Evans, who says the pup works eagerly for his paycheck, a green rubber ball. Since early December, Dodger has been hard at work learning to identify narcotics based on odor. Once he identifies the scent of a narcotic, Dodger has been taught to passively alert the officer by burrowing his nose into the source of
the scent, according to Officer Evans. Just last week Officer Evans and Dodger, his trusty partner, were conducting a parole search at a nearby hotel. Dodger had buried his nose between the bed and the nightstand, but Officer Evans tried to pull the dog off, unable to see any problems. As it turns out, Dodger had found methamphetamine tucked in between the 2 pieces of furniture. Im still learning, just like Dodger, Officer Evans said. New development approved for old district property As Claremonts budget continues to boom in comparison to other cities, so does development. The council lent its approval to a 4.2-acre housing development at Base Line Road and Mountain Avenue. Previously owned by the Claremont Unified School District, the property was purchased by developer DR Horton for $6.2 million last February. The Claremont Unified School District still owns an adjacent lot, currently home to the CUSD Service Center. Figuring out what to do with that property has been a hot topic of debate recently
for both school officials and residents. Read more about the debate on page 5 of this edition. A set of 54 condominiums will now fill the property, a lower amount than the 61-unit maximum allowed by the lands zoning, noted Mark Carnahan, senior planner for the city of Claremont. Each condo will be equipped with an attached 2-car garage and private backyard. The condos will be designed in 3 different plans, ranging from 3 to 4 bedrooms. While most of the condos will be sold at market price, approximately $400,000, 8 will be sold as moderate-income housing, for $250,000, said Daniel Boyd, DR Hortons Vice President. While a majority of the council supported the development, issues lingered with the complexs proximity to the 210 freeway. As Claremont resident Ranji George, a scientist with the local air quality agency, pointed out, for those within 800 feet of a freeway, the cancer risk is about 350 times higher...I would strongly urge you to consider this. Others were confused as to why DR Hortons development would be approved while a similar project proposed several years ago was rejected by the county because of freeway health concerns. Councilmember Corey Calaycay said the former development was rejected for more reasons than its proximity to the freeway. That development had been labeled as affordable housing and the county had withdrawn its funding of the project because of concerns over environmental justice, which argues against the purposeful placement of affordable housing complexes in less-desirable areas like near factories and next to freeways. They didnt feel it was fair to force people, just because they couldnt afford to choose, to have to live in those

City maintenance crews first attempted to power wash the writing away, to no avail, according to Community and Human Services Manager Stacey Cuevas. While suggestions were made to add sand to the power wash, staff feared it would erode the asphalt. In the end, Ms. Cuevas said, the Community and Human Services team opted for applying an asphalt
emulsiona thin, black asphalt coating painted on the street with rollers similar to painting a wall, she explained. Ms. Cuevas did not provide a cost on the project, but did say that the emulsion was the preferred method to fix the street because of its low cost. She added that most of the cost of the project would be in staff time, as workers were needed to watch over the paint coat until it dried completely to keep from damage.

POLICE BLOTTER
Thursday, February 7 A 30-year-old Rancho Cucamonga residents fashion show came to an end before it even began. Jennifer Agosto was attempting to leave The Little Dress Shop, 214 Second St., with a few little dresses in hand, but employees were quicker than the not-so-stealthy fashionista. Ms. Agosto walked right into jail time. **** A Fontana lawbreaker left an easy trail for Claremont police. Police arrived to the Bucknell/San Jose Avenue area to investiaget a subject seen throwing trash out of a car window. When police arrived, it wasnt difficult to spot the accusedtrash was found on the ground around a parked vehicle. Inside, police found 21-year-old Andrew Artiaga. Police were greeted with another surprise right out in the open: a 40-inch tall green compressed gas tank and a series of balloons strewn along the floorboard. Mr. Artiaga admitted to using the gas and the balloons to huff, and was arrested. Friday, February 8 Police continue to search for a vandal responsible for scribbling swastikas across Claremont College campuses. On Friday evening, a 10-inch swastika was found drawn in the mens restroom located on the first floor of the Claremont School of Theology, 1325 N. College Ave. The symbol had been drawn in blue ink. The same pen had been used to draw similar-sized swastikas in the mens restroom at Honnold Library and several other locations. Police are investigating the matter. Saturday, February 9 Eighteen-year-old Asael Saldana was found lying near a set of bushes in the 800 block of Endicott Drive. Residents notified police. Mr. Saldana had been reported missing from a rehabilitation center in Chino Hills and was found under the influence of a stimulant. He was returned to the facility. Sunday, February 10 Maybe the scent will lead police to the latest burglary ring in Claremont. Burglars entered a home in the 300 block of South College Avenue between Saturday evening and Sunday morning by prying open a rear window. Among the stolen loot was jewelry and cologne. **** Beggars cant be choosers, but a man asking passersby for money in the Claremont Village Sunday afternoon would beg to differ. After a woman handed him a dollar, the man allegedly began kicking the womans car repeatedly in anger over the low amount. He left a dent in the car before taking off. He is described as a 35-year-old black male with brown eyes, about 5 feet, 11 inches tall and 130 pounds.
Man scales to new heights, claims he was looking for work

Patrick Williams will go to great lengths to get a job, at least if you buy his story. Mr. Williams was seen breaking into the Harvey Mudd construction site at Dartmouth and Foothill Boulevard by scaling the 10-to-12 foot tall fence. Shortly after entering the site, Mr. Williams was joined by Campus Safety officers. He claimed to be taking a look around the development in hopes of finding employment. It proved to be difficult as no construction was taking place at the time. Mr. Williams had an outstanding warrant for failure to pay for public transportation and was arrested. Just a few days later another man trespassed onto the same construction site, but with a little more stealth than Mr. Williams. On February 12, approximately 40 feet of copper piping was found cut and carted away. Investigation is underway. Tuesday, February 12 Wheres my army? asked a man, attempting to set up camp on the first floor of the Village West Parking structure when approached by Claremont police. He cupped his hands into fists and attempted to fight police, but was soon apprehended. Jeffrey Oehrig, 39, was arrested.
plained that each home will be outfitted with Merv 11 air filtration systems capable of keeping air quality at safer levels. By installing those filters, we reduce the cancer risk to a background level, Mr. Halligan said. Condo applicants will be informed of the health risks associated with living near a freeway. Steve Bush, who conducted the health risk assessment, added that health risks were evaluated in a recent study of the development. The studywhich took into account both the indoor and outdoor activity of a resident living in the complex for 70 years showed that residents would be no more at risk for cancer or other airborne illnesses than the general population living away from a freeway. The reassurances were not enough to convince Mayor Pro Tem Opanyi Nasiali, who opted to remain consistent with his past opposition of such developments. I am very concerned, Mr. Nasiali said, referring to studies that have shown children are greatly impacted by air pollution by the freeways. Even though we are putting in mitigation measures...the kids are going to play outside and they are going to be exposed to that pollution. While respecting Mr. Nasialis decision, the rest of the council lent their support to the project. Councilmember Sam Pedroza hopes it will provide more housing opportunities for those of the Claremont workforce who are looking for homes near their places of employment. This housing project is providing a niche that I think we sorely need in our community, Mr. Pedroza said.

Pitzer president will join prestigious Fulbright board
t was all good news when President Barack Obama appointed Pitzer College President Laura Skandera Trombley to the 12-member J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board.
In this prestigious positionfor which she was sworn in at a February 11 ceremony in Washington, DCshe will not only be expected to meet quarterly to help establish policies for Fulbright selection and operating procedures. Ms. Trombley is also encouraged to travel as much as possible, serving as an ambassador for the program. As an incentive for spreading the word about the programs advantages, she has been awarded a diplomatic passport, an unexpected perk that has Ms. Trombley pretty excited. For me, that means I dont have to wait in line at the airport, she joked. Ms. Trombley had already been tentatively planning a trip to Bhutan and Nepal with some other Pitzer administrators and faculty, but the nifty passport seals the deal. Ms. Trombley, who is the only current board member representing the western United States, said she doesnt know who nominated her, though she has a few suspicions. No matter who is responsible, the appointment of a Pitzer administrator is fitting because, for 3 years running, The Chronicle of Higher Education has ranked Pitzer College as the top producer of Fulbright winners
among undergraduate liberal arts colleges in the United States. A remarkable 10 percent of Pitzers 2012 graduating class was awarded Fulbright Fellowships. Ms. Trombley makes a real point of encouraging students to apply for Fulbright grants and to see as much of the world as possible, because she understands firsthand the power of travel. When she was 12, her parents cashed in their life savings and dragged her around Europe. The experience was transformative for Ms. Trombley, who said she was very shy and nave at the time. That trip literally changed my life, she said, noting that it expanded her confidence and sophistication exponentially. Later, when Ms. Trombley was attending Pepperdine, her father encouraged her to expand her horizons once more. He said, you have to study abroad, she recalled. Ms. Trombley signed up for the colleges exchange program, and spent the next 3 years in Heidelberg, Germany, in the heart of Bavaria. She studied at the University of Eichsttt, where she mastered the German language. She also traveled extensively throughout South Africa with a boyfriend who had been raised there. This was during the apartheid era, she noted. It was very eye-opening. Ms. Trombley will continue her commitment to nurturing a global worldview among students at Pitzer and beyond.
COURIER photo/Peter Weinberger President Laura Skandera Trombley, seen here at her office at Pitzer College, was recently appointed by President Barack Obama to the 12-member Fulbright Scholar board.
The more that we can get to know each other and understand different cultures, the more benefits we can derive from everyone, she said. The Fulbright Program, sponsored by the Department of States Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, is the US governments flagship international exchange program and is supported by the people of the United States and partner countries around the world. Since 1946, the Fulbright Program has provided more than 318,000 participants from over 150 countries with the opportunity to study, teach and conduct research, exchange ideas and contribute to finding solutions to shared international concerns.
Along with serving as the president of Pitzer College since 2002, Ms. Trombley is a professor of American literature, a distinguished Mark Twain scholar and the author of 5 books, the most recent of which is Mark Twains Other Woman (2010). The J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board was established by the US Congress to supervise and promote the Fulbright Program as well as establish worldwide policies. The board members, who come from academic, business, cultural and public life, also select students, scholars, teachers and others to participate in the educational exchanges. Sarah Torribio

CUSD ponders prudence, speed for Service Center sale
he fate of the Service Center dominated discussion at the Thursday, February 7 meeting of the Claremont Unified School District Board of Education.
At the boards January 17 meeting, the Surplus Property Advisory Committee recommended that 2 district properties, the site of the short-lived La Puerta middle school and the current CUSD Service Center, be declared surplus and sold. There hasnt been much controversy over the potential sale of the La Puerta parcel, located on Forbes Avenue, given the school has been shuttered for years. The discussion of the Service Center site, however, which is located at 700 W. Baseline Road, has been livelier. Acting speedily to sell the Base Line property may result in a quicker and more profitable sale, according to Lisa Shoemaker, assistant superintendent of business services, and Surplus Advisory Committee member Brad Umanksy, a local realtor who is volunteering his expertise to the district. Last year, homebuilder DR Horton had the winning bid in the auction of another CUSD property, a 4.25acre parcel once home to the districts offices and located at Base Line Road and Mountain Avenue. At the latest meeting of the city council, the council approved a proposed DR Hortons housing development on that property. Construction on the project is pend-
ing architectural review. D.R. Horton would likely be interested in purchasing the Service Center for a second phase of the development, because they could use the same permits. They would also already have equipment and materials stationed at the first Base Line property. The second Base Line propertys appeal lies in economy of scale, Ms. Shoemaker said. DR Horton paid $6.2 million for the first parcel. If the board determines the sale of the Service Center is the best choice for Claremont students, Service Center Director Rick Cota is on board. In fact, he sees a potential relocation as a chance to update and streamline the current service center. At the February 7 meeting, Mr. Cota presented a proposal for a significantly smaller Service Center locationjust one of many options, he emphasizedthat would be located on the grounds of San Antonio High School. Its a fine balance. If the district waits to long too declare the Service Center property surplus, DR Horton may see less benefit in purchasing a second CUSD parcel. And yet, there is no guarantee that the homebuilder will decide to buy the property even if it goes on the market soon. Councilmember Steven Llanusa has been especially vocal about the risks of undue haste in declaring the Service Center surplus and putting it on the market. It is crucial, he says, that the district find a viable alternative site for the Service Center before committing to abandon the current site. And the board should take its time in deliberating about a new site,
as previous suggestions for relocation have proven unworkable. Board Member Hilary La Conte also expressed concern about placing a new building at San Antonio, fearing that it will mar students access to beneficial open space. Claremont resident David Nemer echoed that view in the public comment period of the meeting, as did Claremonter Joe Salas in a recent letter to the COURIER. Mr. Llanusa said he is also worried that, in its eagerness to win DR Hortons business, the district will set too low of a price for the Service Center property. There were several other bids that met CUSDs minimum price at the last auction, so its obvious property in Claremont is attractive, he said. In the sale of the last district property, CUSD contracted with a realtor specializing in multi-million dollar deals, Huntington Beach Real Estate, a decision Ms. Shoemaker says was invaluable in attracting a good buyer. Board member Jeff Stark cautioned that playing hardball against the advice of a professional realtor might alienate DR Horton. We need to trust the experts we hire to set the price, he said. We are not qualified to do that and we need to be careful of acting like we are. Ms. Shoemaker emphasized that even if the Service Center property is up for auction and receives several conforming bids, the district has the right to remove the property from the market. The board and district will continue to discuss the fate of the Service Center.

February facts: Pure and simple

by Mellissa Martinez
any consider February to be a time for warm fires, chocolates, love proclamations and romance. This month is so synonymous with amour that its hard to imagine hunkering down for a long Valentines weekend of rigorous spring-cleaning. What about bathing under a torrent of rain or praying for atonement the entire month? If you are a word-lover who is also a purist, forget the chocolate, burn those roses and wash away any romantic notions February is all about purification.

CITY
with Sabine roots survived. Along with februa, others that passed into Latin are multa, a money penalty, albus, white and imperator, commander. These eventually became the modern Spanish multa fine, and English albino, auburn and imperative. Lesser-known Sabine words like hirpus, wolf, curis, spear and teba, hill, faded out as the language was taken over by Latin. When Rome was founded in the mid-700s BCE, the Sabine tribe became dividedhalf were incorporated by force and the other half fled to the mountains. This is described in the legendary episode referred to as The Rape of the Sabine Women. At the time, Latin raptio defined the common practice of capturing citizens during war, especially women, by force. The word did not have the sexual connotation that its descendent rape now carries. Other related words like ravish, rapture and raptor still carry the connotation of seizing violently. In the case of the Sabine women, it is believed that many were seized and later begged by Roman men to marry them. These brides grew to love their husbands and became famous for throwing themselves and their children between their fighting husbands and fathers to end the war. Roman culture was greatly influenced by the language, culture and traditions of their now incorporated former enemies. Among other things, they
The word February came to English in the late 14th century from the Latin februarius mensis, month of purification. Although some say that the Latin word februarius derived its name from Februus, the Roman god of purification, this is probably not the case. Most scholars believe that both the god and the month were named in honor of februa, the ritual purification rites that occurred at the end of the year. In other words, the purification rites came before the month and the deity. So where did the word februa come from? Although its pre-Latin origin is not known definitively, most linguists think that it was a Sabine word. The Sabines were an Italic tribe that lived in the region now known as southern Italy along with the Greeks, Samnites, Etruscans and other tribes. They celebrated the februa rites of purification along with the Etruscans, who eventually passed the custom on to the Romans. The Sabine tribes are also credited with passing the rites of augury and auspices (omens from the flights of birds) to the Romans. Unfortunately, there is little record of the Sabine language and it is suspected that only 100 or so words
began practicing the end-of-the-year traditions of februa by cleansing in the rain, purging the home, praying for atonement and participating in the purification festival before the new year. At the time, the Roman calendar was relatively new and still had some kinks. In this 10-month lunar calendar, the first month was Martius, now March, and the last month was December. Between the end of the year and the beginning, there were 61 winter days that were simply not accounted for. They existed, but they were not recognized on the calendar. Although these days were nameless, they were full of festivitiespeople were busy purifying! It was one of the earliest Roman rulers, Numa Pompilius, who finally decided to give the days a name. He divided them in half and called them februarius and Ianuarius in that order. Februarius was named for already adopted rite and Ianuarius honored Janus, the dualfaced god of beginnings and passages. Later in 450 BCE, January was moved in front of February, but the Romans didnt consider January to be the first month of the year until 150 BCE. The word februarius remained prominent through all of the subsequent calendar changes and is used today in many languages including Spanish and Italian, febbraio, Afrikaans Februairie, Arabic fibrayir, Danish februar, Dutch februari, German Februar, Greek Febrouarios, Hebrew februar, Indonesian Februari and many more. The Roman god of purification was called Februus and he later became Febris, the goddess of fever, who protected people from malaria. Although February purification rites have been replaced by candlelight dinners, sweet nothings and gift giving, they can still have an influence on us today. Im not suggesting that we stand in the pouring rain or spend the day scouring the toilet, but it certainly wouldnt hurt to take a lesson from history and get a jumpstart on spring-cleaningMarch is just around the corner.

Joe Monty Pipins

Joe Monty Pipins, a Claremont resident and longtime employee of the Metropolitan Water District, died on February 9, 2013. He was 72. Mr. Pipins was born on August 2, 1940 at Fort Sill in Lawton, Oklahoma to Joe and Jane Liddell Pipins. He spent his formative years in Parker, Arizona, where his father worked for the US Bureau of Reclamation and his mother worked as a cook in the Metropolitan Water Districts desert facility, Gene Camp, for 20 years. A quarter Chickasaw, Mr. Pipins was proud of his American Indian heritage and of a bloodline that includes many noted Chickasaw leaders. His greatgrandfather was a Chickasaw chief and his grandmother, Mini Keel Liddell, was one of the original Chickasaw enrollees on the Dawes Commission rolls. His cousin Jefferson Keel is currently lieutenant governor of the Chickasaw Nation and his cousin Linda Briggs, a former lieutenant governor, serves on the Chickasaw Tribal Legislature. After graduating from Parker High School in 1957, Mr. Pipins, then 17, headed for Texas with his brother to work in construction with an uncle. There, he began pursuing a lifelong passion for building and racing fast cars. Then, in 1959, he ran into Al Preston, a builder with the Metropolitan Water District (MWD), who offered him a job in La Verne. Knowing Mr. Pipins love of drag racing, he mentioned that the F.E.
OBITUARIES
years at MWD, including painter, sand blaster, mortar liner, welder, machinist and auto mechanic. He also served as one of the builders of the control gates at Morris Dam and engineered a tunnelcleaning machine used to remove sludge and algae from the aqueduct pipeline running from Copper Basin to Lake Matthews. It was a point of pride for Mr. Pipins that he had been through every MWD tunnel at least once. Mr. Pipins also took full advantage of his proximity to the Pomona Raceway, where the National Hot Rod Association held its first-ever Winternationals in 1961. Throughout the 1960s, Mr. Pipins was mechanic, owner and driver of dragsters and AA Fuel Altered cars in the NHRA. His photos may still be seen in old auto racing books and even at the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum. Mr. Pipins personal life also flourished in California. Lifelong Claremonter Angela Torrez met Mr. Pipins when her automobile aficionado brothers brought him home for a visit. They were married in December of 1961. Soon after, they welcomed a son, Erik, followed by a daughter, Roseanne. Mr. Pipins fast-paced life was brought to a halt in 1984, when he suffered a massive stroke. He worked extremely hard during his rehabilitation, earning the patient of the year honor at Casa Colina before returning to work in 1985. Though in later years he used a wheelchair, Mr. Pipins continued to be a member of the MWD family until his retirement in 2010. He had the distinction of being the only 51-year employee of the water district and was proud of his service, his family noted. Exceptionally sociable and gifted with a distinct sense of humor, Mr. Pipins was especially thankful for the many lifelong friends and colleagues he met along the way. He was a loving, caring and patient father and he will be forever in our hearts, his children shared. Mr. Pipins is survived by his wife, Angela Torrez Pipins; by his children, Erik and Roseanne Pipins; by his grandchildren, Mercedes Pipins, D.J. Wands and Vincent Jaramillo, and by his brothers, Butch and Donald Pipins. He also leaves many beloved nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and co-workers. He was predeceased by his mother-inlaw and father-in-law, Joe and Rosa Torrez, who were noted members of the Claremont community. Graveside services for Mr. Pipins will be held Monday, February 18, 2013 at 11 a.m. at Oak Park Cemetery, located at 410 S. Sycamore Ave. in Claremont. A celebration of his life will follow, to be held at the Claremont Center for the Spiritual, 509 S. College Ave., Claremont.
Longtime MWD employee, enthusiastic drag racer, beloved father
Weymouth Treatment Plant was located near the Pomona Raceway, which has hosted drag racing since 1953. He agreed to take the job, settling in Claremont and becoming part of another family legacy: employment with the MWD. Along with his mothers service at Gene Camp, Mr. Pipins brothers, Butch and Donnie, also went on to become longtime MWD employees, boasting tenures of 35 and 39 years, respectively. Mr. Pipins held many positions in his

Big Nate creator provides big inspiration for students
f you have a little bit of talent and a lot of dedication, greatness is within your grasp. This was the message delivered by Lincoln Peirce, author of the popular Big Nate book series, when he stopped by Foothill Country Day School on February 8 to talk about his journey from doodling kid to comic strip creator to best-selling author.
As a boy, Mr. Peirce loved the Peanuts comics, so he was inspired when he read this piece of wisdom in an interview with the legendary Charles Schulz. To be a cartoonist, you need to be a good writer, not a great writer, and a good artist, not a great artist. Mr. Peirce, who is speaking at schools across the country in promotion of his latest book, Big Nate Flips Out, hopes to demystify the artistic process in the same way Mr. Schulz did, inspiring kids to try their hand at cartooning and other creative endeavors. Just who is this Big Nate? If you havent already met him, he is Nate Wright, an irrepressible, spikyhaired sixth-grader at Public School 38, who holds the all-time school record for detentions and cherishes dreams of becoming a cartoonist. If you know Big Nate, he is very shy. And he is an excellent student, the author joked, drawing laughter from the students at the local private school. Obviously, there is more than a little of Big Nate in Mr. Peirce, though the character is 11 and the man is now 49. Nate is a storyteller and so am I, he said. Mr. Peirce doesnt make too much distinction between the various forms of storytelling. As a kid, he spent most of his allowance on comic booksfrom Spiderman to Donald Duckand comic strip collections, including those following the exploits of his beloved Charlie Brown. Books were great, too, he said, noting childhood favorites like John Dennis Fitzgeralds The Great Brain series. They are all great stories, so theres absolutely no difference, Mr. Peirce asserts.
COURIER photos/Steven Felschundneff Cartoonist and author Lincoln Peirce demonstrates the scribble game during a talk at Foothill Country Day School on Tuesday. The game involves closing your eyes, making a scribble and then trying to turn it into a cartoon character. To the delight of students, Mr. Pierce made a clown out of his scribble.
He wanted to tell stories like that and had a natural attraction to illustration. So as a child, he set himself a drawing curriculum that was arguably more influential than his formal education, which includes a bachelors degree from Colby College, and a masters degree in drawing and painting from Brooklyn College. One of the first steps in mastering comic book illustration is copying works by established artists. He shared his early development with the FCDS students via PowerPoint slideshow, beginning with a scanned image of an early attempt at the Peanuts characters that he drew when he was 7 on the inside
cover of a Peanuts book. One of these renderings, a clearly recognizable picture of Charlie Brown featuring crude, stick-legs was particularly amusing to the crowd. Mr. Peirce then introduced the kids to the first character he ever invented, a klutzy superhero named Super Jimmy who swoops to the rescue in the nick of time, only to make things worse. It is a glimpse of the kind of humor that would one day enliven his Big Nate comics, particularly Nates own forays into comic book illustration. I still find a lot of things funny now that were funny to me when I was in sixth grade, Mr. Peirce admitted. As a kid, Mr. Peirce had a precocious ability to come up with artistic exercises, prompts he urged his

audience to try. He had been struggling with how to learn to draw the same character, clearly recognizable from the front and side views, when he struck on an idea, kindled by the sight of a post office wanted poster. He realized that the wanted poster format, which features mug shots of fugitives photographed straight on and then in profile, was an ideal way to master a multi-dimensional understanding of a comic creation. From then on, he created an array of wanted posters featuring cartoon criminals. Learning to draw can be a collective experience too, in the add-on. In this game, each successive participant in a group must add one random feature to the drawing of a character, depending on what his or her friends suggest. Mr. Peirce showed an example of his own add-on creation, a fellow with an elephant nose, a peg leg, a Popeye arm complete with anchor tattoomoose ears and a waffle-iron hand. Yet another favorite project of Mr. Peirces was to fill a page with an improbable and action-packed chain of events engendered by a calamity like a tidal wave. When kids say I dont know what to draw, I say draw a disaster scene, he said. Nate was introduced to the world in 1991 as the star of a syndicated comic strip, which now regularly graces 250 US newspapers. In 2010, Mr. Peirce
published his first Big Nate chapter book, Big Nate: In a Class by Himself (2010). It quickly gained traction among kids weaned on the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series and eager for more comic book-style literary fare centered on the travails of a misfit kid. A number of Big Nates fans were in the audience at Mr. Peirces Foothill
Country Day School presentation. When the author/illustrator asked who had read the Big Nate books, 2 dozen hands shot up, onebelonging to super-fan Brian Yeungenthusiastically clutching a copy of Big Nate Flips Out. Highlights of the talk included a demonstration period, in which Mr. Peirce undertook a quick sketch of Big Nate, a quick trivia contest carrying the prize of a Big Nate T-shirt and the opportunity to have the noted visitor sign the books some students brought to the presentation. Big Nate enthusiasts have much to look forward to, because Mr. Peirce has been contracted to write a few more books in the series. He has no plans to shelve his markers any time soon.
Im 49 years old now and Im still improving as an artist, he said. Mr. Peirce concluded by urging the students to talk to their teachers about participating in an ambitious upcoming project. Between now and next February, he plans to compile the worlds longest comic strip, featuring drawings by kids from throughout the world. His stop at Foothill Country Day School provided plenty of food for thought, according to 9-year-old Alice Phung, who has read 2 of Mr. Peirces books. Its just really interesting to hear how he comes up with all of his ideas for Big Nate, she said.

Council candidates make first appearancewith one exception
laremont constituents were offered another glance at familiar faces as city council candidates were introduced at the first candidates event of the election season, held at the Claremont Doubletree Hotel on Thursday morning.
It was the candidates first public presentation leading up to Claremonts March 6 municipal election, where 3 candidates will vie for 2 open seats on the Claremont City Council. However, one face remained noticeably absent. While incumbents Corey Calaycay and Larry Schroeder spoke before the crowd of Chamber of Commerce breakfast Incumbents LarrySchroeder, left, and Corey Calaycay chat with business ownguests, presenting talking points on why ers after the first candidates event, held concurrently with the monthly Chamber they should be re-elected to their respec- breakfast Tuesday morning.
tive posts on council, fellow candidate Michael Keenan declined the Chambers invitation to present because he said he was disappointed with the format. Instead of including a questionand-answer segment, such as in years past, each candidate was given 3 minutes to speak. What can I say in 3 minutes? Mr. Keenan said in a post-event interview, further disputing associating the word forum with the Chamber event. Usually in a forum, people get to ask questions. Mr. Keenan reiterated his overall disappointment with the lack of engaged, public participation in this latest municipal election. First, he lamented the fact that nobody else wanted to step forward and run for office and, second, he exCANDIDATES FORUM continues on the next page

pressed dismay that it has taken until February to host any election events. While both Mr. Schroeder and Mr. Calaycay declined to comment on Mr. Keenans absence, Mr. Schroeder did make note that forums are not sponsored by the city and are up to the discretion of the organization that chooses to play host. The city or the candidates dont select the format, Mr. Schroeder said. We dont set up the forums. While he opted not to participate in Thursdays event because he did not agree with the way it was set up, Mr. Keenan says he will attend the candidates forum to be held by Active Claremont and the League of Women Voters on Saturday, February 23. Until
then, he is concentrating his efforts on going door-todoor, reflecting a central theme in his call for an engaged citizenry: a healthy planet begins at home. Lets get together, walk together a little more, Mr. Keenan said. Despite Mr. Keenans absence, Mr. Calaycay and Mr. Schroeder maintain the importance of engaging in opportunities like Thursdays gathering. If one decides to run for office, it is very important to fulfill the obligations as a candidate, Mr. Calaycay said. And if extended the opportunity to speak, I feel you have an obligation to be there and participate according to whatever rules they set up for us to adhere to. I am just grateful for the opportunity to participate, he added. Both candidates focused their allotted time on ad-
dressing the audiences major concern: Claremont business. Mr. Calaycay pledged to remain committed to working for the residents and business folk of the city while continuing to work cohesively with other council members to further the city councils mission of being pro-business. We have been working very hard to retain businesses that we have in this community as well as working hard to recruit other businesses that complement our community and certainly provide a vital service to our residents, Mr. Calaycay said. It has allowed us to realize the successes that we have had here over the last year. Mr. Schroeder noted his role in nurturing Claremonts thriving business climate. Besides legislation, he noted his role in establishing the citys Business Improvement District despite the loss of the redevelopment agency. He also cited his support of the citys job creation and business incentive program, which gives loan forgiveness to new or expanding businesses in exchange for hiring a full-time employee. I personally support local businesses by shopping in your stores and using your services, Mr. Schroeder said. I hope you will support me on March 5 for city council. All 3 candidates will be featured in a candidates forum to be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, February 23 in the Padua Room at the Alexander Hughes Community Center, 1700 Danbury Rd. The election takes place on Tuesday, March 5 from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Voters may request a vote-by-mail ballot through Tuesday, February 26.

CHS girls soccer sets pace with playoff victory
xpectations were high as the Lady Wolfpack geared up for their first playoff game of 2013 against Corona Centennial. Claremont kept up the tempo from the opening to the final whistle to ease to a 4-1 win.
It was almost a relief to the team to receive a number 2 seed because, with the champion label, teams gunned for Claremont all season. It was clear that Claremont could handle the pressure. Centennial was to receive more than it could handle, although the Huskies had managed a respectable 5-2-3 record and a third-place finish in the Big VIII League. In the preceding 5 matches, Claremont had only narrowly lost to the leagues top team, Chino Hills.
The Wolfpack posted a 7-2-1 record in conference matches this season, only marginally worse than last years CIF title-winning squad. Claremont flew out of the blocks, signaling their intent to attack, and attack often. Only 5 minutes in to the game, the team had their first goal. A counter down the left channel saw Renken beat her marker, cut inside and loft a ball to the far post. Arft raced in and got a piece on the crosswhether it was her knee or stomach is not clearand the ball rolled into the net. On 21 minutes, they scored again. Orchestrator Hannah Chua turned in midfield and dinked a ball into the danger area. Madison Stark collected and shot, only to have her effort blocked. The ball rolled to Arft, who wasted no time in smashing it into the goalkeepers right-hand corner for her second goal of the match.
Claremont High School forward Karsyn Jordan collides with Centennial High Schools number 14 on Thursday during CHS playoff victory over the visiting Huskies.
With Claremont sitting pretty with a 2-0 lead, the team could ease off the gas pedal. I felt uneasy with a 2-goal lead; they are very dangerous. Our team felt almost over-confident, but we were not out of the woods yet, said Coach Tim Tracey. From a corner at 34 minutes, Centennials Taylor Hollywood sent in a cross to the back post and Felix rose to head the ball into the net. Just like that, Claremonts lead was cut in half, and Centennial was right back in the game. The halftime whistle blew to the relief of the Wolfpack, who had the wind taken out of their sails during the last 5 minutes. For my halftime talk, I called them out a little bit.

The Highlanders finished third place in the Marmonte League, and are coming off of a 67-33 win in their first round game. Webb stormed out to a first-half lead and never looked back against Kern Valley, coming home with a 55-46 victory. The Gauls defeated the #2 High Desert League Broncs on the back of another dramatic victory over Chadwick last week. Webb took on the freelance team Mission Prep in San Luis Obispo on Friday. The Royals won their last game 80-44. BOYS SOCCER Webb produced an explosive second half to win its wild-card playoff match against University Prep on Wednesday, 3-1.

CHS promotes from within for softball coach

The Claremont Wolfpack pushed Vincent Hernandez from JV head coach to varsity head coach for his 5th year with the Claremont softball program. This will be Hernandezs 14th year coaching softball overall. With appropriate focus on fundamentals, we believe that individuals will improve their skills. As a results, wins and losses take care of themselves, Coach Hernandez said. Claremonts softball season begins on February 26, and the Wolfpack look to improve on their 618 record of last season.
Webb holds signing day

Last week, Webb held its college signing day for 5 of its student-athletes. The Gauls football star TJ Fenton committed to Southern Utah. Soccer stalwarts Ashlynn Ramos (USC) and Carly Olszewski (Stanford) will both play in the Pac 10 Conference. Finally, baseball standouts Aaron DiGiamarino and Nick Gollin each signed for top schools, USC and Washington St. Louis, respectively.

COURIER photos/Steven Felschundneff Claremont High School midfielder Megan Renken fouls a Centennial player on Thursday during first-round CIF playoff action at CHS. Renken had a good game, scoring one of CHS 4 goals.
They needed to keep playing to their potential or they would get burned, because this is a good team were playing, Coach Tracey said. The talk galvanized CHS. Seconds after the restart, Stark sent a raking pass down the right flank to Arft, who returned the favor from Renken by hitting a grass-cutter into the box, and Renken finished neatly low to the goalkeepers left. Claremonts third goal was the killer, as the back 4 rarely allowed the ball into their own half after this. Stark stayed hungry, and on 62 minutes had earned her team a penalty. Stark picked the ball up in her own half, charged 40 yards without being challenged by a Centennial defender, then was chopped down as she entered the penalty box. Marissa Telarroja calmly struck the ball past the goalkeeper with the spot kick. I was pleased the way we came out a different team in the second half; we kept possession better and found simple passes, Coach Tracey said. Next up for the Wolfpack are the Valencia Vikings, who finished first place in the Foothill League. Valencia squeaked by Moorpark 1-0, but they did not lose a conference match all season. The Vikings have dangerous strikers in Taylor Venegas and Bailey Reid, each in double figures in scoring for the season, and assist-leader Rebecca Harrison. The match will take place at Claremont High School this Tuesday, February 19 at 5 p.m. Whoever wins this match moves on to the quarterfinals against either Millikan or Sunny Hills. Quarterfinals are on Thursday, February 21. Stay tuned for the results.

You will be bidding on a lien, not the property itself. Placing the highest bid at 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 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 may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 573-1965 or visit this Internet Web site www. Priorityposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 22956CA. 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. In addition, the borrower on the loan shall be sent a written notice if the sale has been postponed for at least ten (10) business days. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. The property heretofore described is being sold as is.

January 2013 started off strong, with homes selling more quickly than they have been in the months prior. The average number of days the homes were on the market before selling is significantly less than it was this time last year, which is one indicator of growth in the market. Inventory still remains low, espeically in the $750,000+ market.

I can't say enough about Mason's easy-going professionalism. I have worked with many real estate agentsbuying and selling a homesome good and some not so good, but Mason stands above the rest. Although a busy agent, he made us feel like we were his only clients. It is obvious that Mason takes pride in his work and helped us through what has usually been a very stressful process. We were always informed, updated and met personally when needed. There was never pressure, unnecessary stress or unanswered questions. I will recommend everyone I know to Mason!
